It’s Time For Civil Disobedience: America Needs To Say “Hell No!”

Posted by Ryan James | Nov 26, 2020 | Politics

 

Too many Americans are sitting back and allowing their individual rights to be trampled on by power-hungry government officials. Across the country, governors have used COVID-related fear to enhance their power while relegating state legislatures to mere observers.

This needs to end and it needs to end NOW!

Originally, we were all told to quarantine for 15 days to “slow the spread.” That was in March. Well, here we are at Thanksgiving and the lockdowns have begun anew in many Democrat-run states.

It is time for Americans to say “no more” and defy these unconstitutional orders. The Constitution isn’t suspended when there is a public health emergency.

Our country was founded on the God-given right to personal property. The government was instituted for the purpose of protecting that property from harm by others, not to usurp those rights. These governors’ actions are exactly why the Founders diffused power out of the hands of one entity and spread it around so that one man couldn’t behave like a tyrant.

James Madison once wrote that “Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.”

John Locke—who was a major influence on the Founding Founders—wrote, “The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, liberty, or possession.”

It is baffling to me why so many Americans have stood by as state governments have forced their businesses to close and caused massive job-loss the likes of which we have never seen in American history.

Citizens are doing exactly as they are being told. It is time for civil disobedience. Americans need to stand up to their state governments, refuse to close their businesses, and to have as many people as they would like over to their private residences for Thanksgiving. The government has no right to dictate what people do on their private property.

An owner of a restaurant in Newaygo, Michigan is doing just this. He is defying Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s order to close dine-in service for three weeks.

Mlive reported, “The owner of a Newaygo bar and restaurant that has defied a state health order to stop in-person dining says his decision is meant to protect the livelihoods of his employees and his family’s legacy.

‘Because of the history here and the fact that I cannot put 30 employees out of work, it’s what’s right,’ Jim Corey, owner of Jimmy’s Roadhouse, told MLive Monday of his decision to continue dine-in service…

On Friday, Corey’s restaurant hosted a ‘Stand Up Michigan’ rally that attracted hundreds opposed to the latest round of coronavirus restrictions.

The group ‘Stand Up Michigan’ had backed an ‘Unlock Michigan’ petition drive that sought to limit Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive powers.”

Jim Corey is following in the footsteps of great movements of civil disobedience that affected change throughout American history. The Civil Rights and Suffrage movements ended segregation and earned women the right to vote.

It is time for a modern civil rights movement. It is time for We the People to take our Country back. If we don’t, the government will continue to grow their power. Governments never give up power willingly when they possess it.

If we don’t stand up for our rights, we will be one step closer to tyranny…and that would be a shame indeed.

Postscript

 


It is widely claimed today that our nation is irredeemably flawed—that America has been fundamentally unjust from the beginning due to “systemic racism.”

The purpose of promoting this falsehood is to sever Americans’ patriotic attachment to our country and its founding principles in order to replace our limited government Constitution with a radically different form of government.

The only way to confront this false and dangerous narrative—and preserve free government—is to counter it with the true and honest story of America’s quest to achieve justice.

SIDEBARS

Although some survival supplies can be pretty expensive, most of the things people will need after the SHTF are dirt cheap. For example, right now toilet paper costs less than a dollar per roll. But when the store shelves are bare, most people will trade a lot for a single roll of toilet paper. And that's just the beginning.

 When you think about disaster preparedness, keep in mind that a lot of cheap stuff we take for granted will be extremely valuable after SHTF. This is the stuff you want to stock up on now. Not only will you need it for yourself and your family, but you may also need it for bartering.

 Here are just 50 examples of cheap items you'll want to stock up on while they're still available. I'm sure there are plenty more, so if you think of any, be sure to leave a comment below. Now on to the list...

Stopping Socialism, Thoughts on Civil Disobedience

 

Here's the best way to stop socialism and communism...

So, there's a TV show called The Man in the High Castle.

It’s on Amazon Prime and it first came out in 2015.

(It’s based on a novel by Philip K. Dick.)

Let’s just say that watching this show will absolutely make you grateful for the freedom you and I have.

In the show, the United States did not win World War II and it’s no longer the United States of America.

Instead, the west is occupied by the Japanese and is called the Japanese Pacific States.

The east is occupied and controlled by Nazi Germany.

Both the Japanese and Nazis do terrible things to the (former) American people.

Yet, as always, there are a group of true patriots who refuse to be oppressed and they fight back.

And, even though they’re outnumbered and outgunned, they figure out the best way to stop the tyrants oppressing them.

Now, the show is obviously made for entertainment and has a lot of “Hollywood” excitement in it.

However, it does give people hope of how to stop a tyrannical government.

Right now, I want to tell you the real way and give you the full truth on how to do this.

I want to share with you something I don’t talk about often.

Many will think this is controversial, but I don’t mind.

Like anything in life, you can use what I’m about to share with you for good or evil. (please use it for good)

With the election coming, you need to know this, it is the best way to stop socialists and people from destroying our government.

Stay safe,

SIDEBAR:

The Great American Reset Has Begun...Civil Disobedience

If you think about it, there’s nothing about destruction that’s especially disobedient in today’s world.

Destruction is the status quo.

 [I read a fascinating interview with Martin Gurri, the former CIA analyst who first noticed the seismic impact of social media on world politics. The author of The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, Gurri studies the fracturing of discourse and the frantic attempts of elites to reassert control over public life. "We are in the first stages of a gigantic transformation from the industrial mode of information and communication to something that doesn't even have a name yet," Gurri said. "It's an extinction event for the narratives. The ideal of representative democracy is in trouble, for example, and the institutions around that ideal will have to be reformed if they wish to retain any sort of legitimacy."]

Over the past century-and-some-change, we’ve seen more wanton global destruction -- of lives, of wealth, and of traditions from all walks of life -- than at any other time in history.

We live in an age where, as Michael Ellner put it, “Everything is backwards, everything is upside down.”

Doctors destroy health. Lawyers destroy justice. Psychiatrists destroy minds. Scientists destroy truth. Historians destroy history. Major media destroys information. Governments destroy freedom.

Destruction is far from the counterculture.

The most mainstream thing you can do these days is destroy yours or someone else’s life… or just lay down and allow it to happen to others.

The most disobedient thing you can do, on the other hand, is build others up, ignore the outrage and fear porn mills, take care of your health and your family, love your enemies, live within your means, stay out of debt, cultivate monk-like patience, draw clear boundaries, and more.

True civil disobedience in the 21st century is:

1] Drawing the line.

When is “enough enough”?

In the midst of vast government overreach, if you don’t have a line, you can be made to do anything.

[Example: Easy one... I’m not getting the vaccine, whoever makes it, doesn’t matter. The onus isn’t on me to convince anyone why I shouldn’t be forced to get it. It’s just simply not happening.]

When enough people have these hard lines in the sand -- and it doesn’t take many people -- it becomes incredibly difficult for the midnight tyrants to push through.

2] To stop pretending this is OK… but don’t lose your compassion in the process. (“Tough dove” approach)

“Pause,” physician Kulvinder Kaur, MD, writes, “if only for one minute, today and every day. Simply reflect on the harm these catastrophic and unscientific lockdowns are afflicting on our future both in the developed & developing worlds: 2 billion innocent children. It doesn't have to be this way.”

We’ve been emotionally manipulated from the beginning of the pandemic to believe that if we acquiesce to the next demand, it will all be over soon enough.

But as time wore on, the demands increased, and it became increasingly obvious, given the data, the juice was no longer worth the squeeze.

Filmmaker Arthur Moore made a great video about the “new normal,” wherein he said:

"We can't continue pretending that it's possible for us to live like this. We can't continue pretending that we can live without each other. We need to keep our elderly safe but we don't have to give up our basic human needs. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard and supported."

In the video, he compares Israel, one of the most locked down countries, and Sweden… which didn’t shut down even an inch. He also reveals the most devastating part of the lockdowns (it has nothing to do with the virus).

 

Click here to watch

While we’re on the subject, consider what’s happening right now on the ground in Sweden:

People are living normally. Kids are back to school.

And the craziest thing… excess mortality rates are, upon writing, on track to be zero… or maybe even lower.

That’s right.

Though Sweden didn’t lock down, the country is now set to end the year with zero… or even negative… excess mortality.

Given what we know now, there’s absolutely no reason to pretend the lockdowns are OK.

And yet, people (many of which still believe the lockdowns are justified) are struggling regardless.

People are suffering enough.

In a world rife with senseless acts of deception and violence…

Civil disobedience means acts of (both) truth and kindness.

Useful stuff      

 


As winter grows closer, it's time to start preparing for large winter storms and blizzards. We tend to joke that everyone has to run out and get milk and bread before the snow comes, but anyone who has lived through a massive blizzard understands you need more than milk and bread in your winter storm stockpile.

 

The winters all over the country are changing. If you follow the Farmer's Almanac, then you know that they're predicting bitterly cold winter conditions in areas east of the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Mountains. Are you ready for the freezing, frigid, and snowy winter that is predicted?

 

People all over the country have found themselves in the hands of Mother Nature with their proverbial pants down. The last time you want to be caught unprepared is in the middle of a blizzard...

Radicals Plan Citywide Paralysis, Disruptions of Inauguration-Or Worse

Protests, Domestic Terrorism, Rumors of an Assassination of Trump

Radical leftists are planning to make January 20th the most chaotic Inauguration Day in American history.  Their stated goal is to “disrupt” the Inauguration festivities as much as possible, and they are planning a wide range of “actions” to achieve that stated goal.  Some of the more moderate groups are using terms such as “civil resistance” and “civil disobedience”, but others are openly talking about “blockades”, jumping barricades, throwing projectiles and “citywide paralysis”.  My hope is that all of their efforts will turn out to be a big flop, but it is important to understand that these groups are well funded, highly organized and extremely motivated.  The election of Donald Trump has been perhaps the single most galvanizing moment for the radical left in modern American history, and they are working very hard to turn January 20th into a major political statement.

In fact, just recently one activist group took out a full page ad in the New York Times

Thousands of activists, journalists, scientists, entertainers, and other prominent voices took out a full-page call to action in the New York Times on Wednesday making clear their rejection of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence with the simple message: “No!”

“Stop the Trump/Pence regime before it starts! In the name of humanity we refuse to accept a fascist America!” the ad states, followed by a list of signatories that includes scholar Cornel West; author Alice Walker; Chase Iron Eyes of the Standing Rock Sioux; educator Bill Ayers; poet Saul Williams; CNN‘s Marc Lamont Hill; Carl Dix of the Communist Party USA; and numerous others.

The ad pointed people to refusefascism.org, and it asserted that Trump must be stopped whether he was legitimately elected or not

Trump promises to inflict repression and suffering on people in this country, to deport millions, to increase violence up to the use of nuclear weapons on people across the globe, and to inflict catastrophes upon the planet itself. He has assembled a cabinet of Christian fundamentalist fanatics, war mongers, racists, science deniers. NO! His regime must not be allowed to consolidate. We REFUSE to accept a Fascist America!

If you go to refusefascism.org, you will discover that the protests that they are organizing in Washington D.C. will begin on January 14th.  They say that they want to “stop the Trump-Pence regime before it starts”, and they hope to have protests going “every day and every night” without interruption through at least January 20th.

Another group that plans to kick things off on January 14th is DisruptJ20.  Of course that is short for “Disrupt January 20th”.  If you go to their official website, you will find a long slate of events that have already been scheduled.

According to Legba Carrefour, a spokesperson for DisruptJ20, one of the goals of the group is to block major transportation routes into and throughout our nation’s capital.  And he is not shy about the fact that they literally want to “shut down the Inauguration”

“We are planning to shut down the inauguration, that’s the short of it,” he says. “We’re pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I don’t think has been seen in D.C. before. We’re trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route.”
 
 

If Carrefour and his fellow conspirators are able to actually accomplish that, it truly would be unprecedented.

And while DisruptJ20 is not publicly advocating violence, they are not exactly discouraging it either…

Carrefour says DisruptJ20 has no publicly announced plans to jump barricades along the inauguration parade route or throw projectiles at the new president, but that autonomous direct actions are encouraged.

“I can’t comment on specific stuff we’re doing like that, mostly because that would be illegal. But, yeah, it will get pretty crazy, I expect,” he says. “‘Have fun!’ I say.”

Once Donald Trump won the election, many conservatives seemed to think that the war was won.  But the truth of the matter is that many on the left were completely blindsided by Trump’s surprise victory, and now that they are fully awake they are gearing up for battle like never before.

And these protests are not going to end on January 20th.  In fact, abortion advocates are hoping to get close to a million women into Washington D.C. on the day following the Inauguration to protest for abortion rights.  Filmmaker Michael Moore is hoping that this march will be the beginning of “100 days of resistance” against Trump’s presidency…

There are GOP turncoats also including Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins and Lamar Alexander who may well sabotage Trump’s presidency. 

Cybersecurity firm PacketSled CEO Matt Harrigan took to Facebook on election night and said “I am going to kill the president.”  Jerk off rapper Rick Ross also vowed to “assassinate Trump.”  This crap goes on and on with lowlifes such as tax dodger Al Sharpton and others calling for new levels of protests such as “we’ve never seen before.” Odds are we’ll see politically directly violence on an organized scale never seen before…I believe we should consider using predator drones for crowd control measures.

Supposedly one group is raising money online to fund the assassination of Trump and has reached the sum of $90,000 so far.  I cannot vouch for the legitimacy of this piece of crap but the mere thought of it angers me. 

>New York Democrat Chuck Schumer gave an ominous warning to the President-elect [regarding Trump’s lukewarm appraisal of our intelligence community regarding Russian hacking] not to take our intelligence community too lightly.   But so much of the media ran nonsensical stories, it was difficult to track all of it…For example:


>Top establishment Republican helped get disinformation dossier to top of FBI (INTELLIHUB) — In the wake of the release of a disinformation dossier on President-elect Donald Trump, it has been revealed that none other than establishment Republican John McCain was responsible for passing the document to the highest reaches of the FBI.
 
 
 

From a British source/columnist:

>YES, the Russians hack the US. YES, China hacks the US. But what the CIA, NSA propagandists fail to mention is that both Russia and China are amateurs when compared to the United States surveillance and hacking programs THAT HACK AND SURVEILLE EVERYONE ON THE PLANET [with assistance from the UK].

The bottom line is that the US is trending toward becoming a Police State where the citizens will FEAR the State, for what they know or could know. In fact in many respects we are already there.   Most understand that everything they type into Google, for example, is recorded and analysed.

The bottom line:  criminal entities that go by the name of the NSA, CIA and dozens more intelligence agencies created by successive governments will not allow anyone, not even a President to question their ever expanding power, authority [and reach and thus as I warned in my recent article] that there is a real risk that the CIA has plans to assassinate President Donald Trump should he continue on his path of rejecting NSA and CIA authority.

04 Jan 2017 - CIA Planning Rogue President Donald Trump Assassination? Elites "Manchurian Candidate" Plan B [Condensed]

So the CIA over the next few years could easily put together a plan to utilise angry Mexican drug cartel members to undertake the dirty work of assassination whilst using a local patsy, an Mexican or Muslim immigrant angry at Trumps policy towards them personally or their family. Perhaps for being on the receiving end of Trumps new anti-migration regime, and thus be flagged on the CIA's PRISM radar as potential patsy's. And then there is the threat from within, Trumps own supporters for if Trump in their view betrays them by backtracking on the many outlandish promises Trump has made to America's right wing during the election campaign, then he may find himself on the receiving end of their wrath.

Though it would not be necessary for the CIA to engage in assassination plots to remove Trump from office, for the CIA has been busy exaggerating Donald Trump’s ties to Czar Putin's regime and thus creating propaganda that suggests Donald Trump really IS a Manchurian candidate i.e. working for the Russians! Which could be enough to set in motion a sequence of events for Congress to remove Trump from office, especially given the huge number of skeletons in Trump’s closet. Either way it does not look likely Trump will make it to the end of his Presidency, which will probably be terminated before the end of this third year on office.
