Another year has
come and gone, and it's September 11th again.
That date has
NEVER been the same -- not since 2001, when terrorists attacked the World Trade
Center in New York City and killed thousands of people.
Our government
eventually designated today, officially, as "Patriot Day."
I don't feel
good about it.
Now, don't get
me wrong...
Every September
11th, I look back and truly value those who perished.
I feel deeply
for those left behind to mourn the loss of loved ones.
I'm inspired by
the First Responders who ran toward danger to save anyone they
could... as well as those brave citizens who fought back against the terrorists
attempting yet another deadly plane crash.
But I also mourn
for the United States...
That's because I
believe we really turned a corner when it comes to our rights as
Americans on September 11th.
Ever since the
towers fell on 9/11, the American public has turned on each other...
...and people
within our government and "Big Tech" have been more than happy
to take advantage of our pain.
While pretending
to "do something" to keep us safe, our administration(s),
"intelligence" community, the tech Bigwigs who run "social
media" and determine what you can and can't say, and even the
upper echelons of law enforcement have turned their
targeting inwards to our own citizens.
They've
collected our data without permission.
They've banned us for "wrongthink" whenever we step out of line.
They've spied on
us, tracked us, scanned us, and even called us "terrorists" without
due process of law -- all because of what we think and what we say.
Every time you turn around, there's some new scandal involving
Google and Facebook manipulating us.
Everywhere you
look, politicians are doing an end-run around the Constitution, infringing on
our rights in the name of the "greater good."
Lately, they're all excited about using "red flag" laws to
take away your guns -- again, without due process.
All it takes is
somebody accusing you of "thoughtcrime" and
then you're guilty until proven innocent.
The Feds even
demanded recently that Apple and Google hand over the names of their app store
customers, so the government can investigate anyone who downloaded a gun
scope app.
That's right:
They're targeting
gun owners in the name of "keeping us all safe," because
they claim the app developer violated export restrictions.
I'm sure
it's just a
coincidence that they'll be able to use the app data to
make a list of anybody who owns a rifle with a scope on it (who also used the
app).
Right?
Remember, it
wasn't that long ago that official government documents labeled
the most patriotic of our citizens -- people like you and me -- as "enemies of the state".
The sad fact is,
on this truly awful day, our government and our Big Tech overlords are STILL
treating us, the American public, as the real threat to their power.
In the name of
protecting us from future terror attacks, or stopping "bad people"
from doing "bad things" here at home, they're scanning our emails...
tapping our phones... and collecting our personal data without our knowledge.
In fact, just a
few days ago, Google and YouTube were fined $170 MILLION DOLLARS by the
Federal Trade Commission for collecting your kids' information without
permission.
To your
government and to giant corporations like Google, hundreds of millions of
dollars are just a drop in the bucket.
With nothing to
stop them, they're going to keep on spying on you, manipulating
you, and violating your Constitutional rights...
...all while
telling you that it's for your own good!
And thanks to
government initiatives like The
Patriot Act and all the new laws they're passing now, you
can be "red flagged," rounded up, and held against your will as a
potential "home
grown terrorist" because of your beliefs -- things like:
- Believing
in the 2nd Amendment
- Storing
away "survival food"
- Buying
more than 2 guns
- Purchasing
"excessive" amounts of ammo
- Even
comments you make on Facebook and Twitter!
And that's not even the worst of it...
Your neighbors
will actually be financially REWARDED to turn you in as a "suspect"
if they know (or even THINK) you are doing any of these actions, because the
government has set up "tip lines" so they can squeal on you.
If you see something, say something... right?
Please hear me
now...
Things continue
to get worse out there.
And with
the presidential elections coming, it's going to start getting that much more
terrifying... that much faster!
But you already know that, don't you?
What you might
NOT know are the simple steps you should be taking... no wait... that you
MUST be taking... in order to protect yourself from these attacks on our rights
and freedoms.
Don't tell yourself that there's nothing you can do.
Don't just give up,
or try not to think about it.
There are things
we can do to stay
off the radar.
We need to STOP giving our information to the government and to Big Tech.
It isn't actually
difficult to stop them from spying on you.
But you've got
to start now.
Don't make more
mistakes.
Don't make it easier for these people to invade your privacy and attack your rights.
We need to start
living as "underground
patriots."
The
country needs people like us.
A "new
world" of threats calls for a new kind of "patriot".
But we can't be
there for our country and for those we love and protect if we're sitting in
jail after getting red-flagged as "domestic
terrorists."
It's time to
stand up for both our country and our rights as Americans.
Prepare. Train.
Survive.

USEFUL RESOURCES
As a
homesteader, you strive to be prepared for emergencies. You have an extended
food supply, a well-stocked first-aid kit, and back-up plans for loss of power.
However,
when a disaster strikes, even the best-laid plans can go awry. You may be in a
place where those supplies are not accessible, for example. However, by keeping
a level head and using a combination of what you have and what you know, you
can survive under many life-threatening circumstances.
Here is a
list of ordinary items that could save your life in an emergency...

Your lead cartoon sums it all best-the sheep allowed their rights to be scuttled thinking they're much safer with the Nanny State in charge! Great guest piece!
I'm reminded of Franklin's saying about those who give up freedoms for security soon have neither.
I agree-this mis-named Act robbed America and a pox on those bastards who extended this Big Brother BS...hell, you can't even use a prepaid debit card now without revealing your socialist slave number!
