Hang Tough Together

“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” —Benjamin Franklin

On May 22, we warned that as dictatorial governors permitted a modicum of economic activity, it was only a lull in the leftist assault on Liberty. We urged Patriots to utilize this respite to top off short-term supplies and to lay in mid-term supplies. That opportunity is now all the more imperative as store shelves become barer and as leftist elites and minions launch even more vicious attacks on Liberty.

No matter how well prepared we are for the next real or politically concocted round of China Virus lockdowns, we must pivot to confront the new threat of black-shirt rioting, looting, and secession. The appropriate response is not to shelter in place.

We have seen that federal, state, and local police are no longer reliable protectors of law and order. When seconds count, the police are just minutes away — at best. We have seen that fire departments and paramedics are too often not able or willing to come to our aid. In short, first responders just might not even respond.

To further prepare for the growing dark forces of evil, there are three simple things that every Patriots should do.

First, pray. Fervently and often pray for wisdom and guidance from Almighty God in all that we think, say, and do so that His will be done.

Second, read the Good Book. Genesis is appropriate since, if we don’t remember the why and how of the Beginning, we won’t understand the End. Daniel or the Revelation of John are also appropriate since, if we don’t know the End, then we won’t place current events in proper context.

Third, quickly and clearly identify friend from foe. We cannot fight this alone. Our fascist enemies are well supplied, well funded, and well organized. While we have the former two covered, we now need to vastly expand the latter. Don’t be shy. Boldly ask family, friends, and neighbors whether they are for or against Liberty. Determine the stances and willingness of local, county, and state elected officials and law enforcement. We need to know on which side they will stand during these attacks. Don’t argue with negative or milquetoast people, no matter how much you love them — they are beyond reach for now. Move along to the next person to greatly expand and organize your local circle of Liberty lovers.

Dear Patriots, these are the good old days. Things will become much worse before the tide of this war is turned. We need to cease intellectualizing, excusing, begging, and arguing causes and effects — that time has long passed. We need to act decisively and act with great urgency to defend against this latest assault on God-given Liberty. Nothing less than civilization as we know it is at stake.

Hang tough together.
