Take Action BEFORE Liberties Are Stripped

Don’t wait to go on defense, because it’s nearly impossible to get things undone rather than stopping them from being done in the first place. Act offensively or proactively and fight for your right to liberty (which is not granted to you by the government, but is yours naturally).

You see, the government and many of their politicians would like you to think that whatever liberty you have is yours because they allowed you to have it. That is pure BS. It’s yours BEFORE they try and take it away. And they have been trying… and succeeding.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

I wish I could say that I said all those things…
Those are quotes from Thomas Jefferson, who definitely had it right. They sure still ring true today.

How about the last quote, “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground”?! This sure is what has been happening in America lately. No doubt about that.

People have been relinquishing their liberties with frightful and ever increasing speed. The liberty reduction curve has gone parabolic. All in the name of ‘terrorism’ it seems. We all went willingly following 9/11, but here we are 11 years later and we are seeing executive order after order, and laws upon laws further diminishing our freedoms as free individuals.

I sense in my bones that something is going down, and that the guberment is getting their ducks in a row. No, I’m not paranoid. I’m a skeptical person, who can add 2+2… My gut tells me that the end game is nearing regarding the world economic condition (nations and their banksters). Since it is all tied together in a corrupt web of electronic bets and counter-bets, that a rapid collapse domino effect could finish it all. A best case scenario will be a somewhat controlled crash landing – but the real crash is still to come.

In the mean time, we can fight for our rights for liberty by raising awareness and talking about any attempts at takeaway to our friends and family whenever you hear about a story or news report as such (it will mostly come from the alternative news media – not the main stream who only wants you to focus on fluff).

When you hear or read something that doesn’t sound quite right to you (e.g. the Dept. of Homeland Security buying 450 million rounds of ammunition, or the NSA building the world’s largest spy center in Utah to track Americans, or that congress is introducing an amendment to outlaw self defense), check it out for yourself. Check multiple sources and dig for the source of the original information. The main stream will NOT report on such things. It is up to you to find and expose the truth as to what is going on. Sure, there will be some alternative news that turns out to be stretched way out of reality, but there is an alarming amount of reality as to what has been going on too.

When you find a truth that is stripping more of your liberty, do not accept it or the excuse that is used. Fight back. Even though I suspect that most of us don’t have much hope in the results of calling or writing our representatives, but, if we do not, then we are doing nothing within the system to make a difference. Do it anyway. Even if it seems futile. Plus, talk about it with others. If we keep to ourselves, we are to blame when our liberty is stripped from us.

Will The Cash Ban Spread?

First reported just a few weeks ago, there is now a cash ban on ALL transactions above €2,500 in Spain, and is a tax collectors dream come true. The new government push: Cash has gotta go – it’s evil. Those who violate the ban will face fines of 25% of the payment made in cash.

Think it can’t happen here? Think again.

The move to get rid of cash is also part of a larger plan. The idea is for every transaction to be taxed, tracked and controlled. The people in the system to be further disciplined and herded. Global government will be the result.

As the government of Spain moves to squelch a black market economy (no doubt brought on by it’s own monetary policies), this ban on cash transactions above 2,500 euros is no doubt being monitored closely by other governments to gauge the response of the public at large.

A cashless society will be one of totalitarian control. At that point, all people within the system will be entirely subject to the rules and whims of the powers-that-be. Can we trust them to maintain an honest system? Of course not… the system today is already rift with corruption. Imagine one where we can only transact digitally – transactions that are 100% monitored and checked? There will be no way around that system of control without any recourse but to disobey the law and to be subject to their punishments. No doubt that in such a world, barter will be banned.

Digital transactions are certainly convenient, but today most of us have the alternative of paying cash if we choose, which provides a measure of anonymity and assurance of not being tracked for profiling, etc. I’ll bet there will be efforts to demonize ‘cash’ as we move forward, so as to brainwash the public and speed the day at which we too will be under restrictions for using cash as a method of payment.

If we all agree to agree that the only valid medium of ‘value’ exchange is an invisible digit, what will we have become? Answer: Slaves.

We Are Going To Be Nuked

…says Joel Skousen interviewed recently by John Wells on Coast-to-Coast-AM. Joel, a political scientist specializing in the philosophy of law and Constitutional theory, has been an expert in the field for decades, and believes we still have time before the inevitable day when the major cities of the US will be nuked.

Joel espouses a strong message for sure, but perhaps one that we should not overlook while being open minded to the possibilities of our uncertain future.

“We have time” he says, but how much time? He discusses various preconditions, some of which could present themselves within several years. However he believes with apparent 90% certainty that this will come to pass within 10 years, and quite possibly sooner.

He, and many others including yours-truly, believes there is a globalist agenda afoot, and has been for some time. Not a NATO-type agenda, but a darker globalist militarized New-World-Order agenda. One where ‘they’ want to force Americans (and the rest of the West) into… a new world government.

Listening to the 2 hour interview was fascinating. The man clearly is intelligent and has a unique ability to observe the many events going on around us (and those that have already occurred historically) and tie it all together in a spider web that all comes together in the middle, and explain it in such a way that makes sense – if you’re open to the concept of this conspiracy.

I couldn’t possibly summarize it properly without several thousand words, but my takeaway from the interview was his strong conviction that China will ultimately do us in, after an alliance with Russia (and China) goes sour. He does not believe that an upcoming war with Iran will lead to WW3, but instead believes that it will be sometime afterward when China has developed more of a blue water navy (China is actively building aircraft carriers as we speak).

My own observation of the relationship between Russia and China is that they are indeed aligned in many areas today, particularly when it comes to averting the dollar and transacting or seeking solutions to transact in currencies other than the dollar (a.k.a. the ‘BRIC’ nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China). In fact, the BRIC’s are actively seeking their own alternative to the SWIFT system of electronic banking (look it up).

The Chinese have a predatory agenda. They have always historically despised the West. China apparently has built over 3,000 “huge” bunker systems while at the same time the US gov’t has also built and is building underground bases and bunkers (according to Skousen). The elites in the US and elsewhere are having bunkers built, as though they know what’s coming…

Skousen says “Not everyone dies in a nuclear war”. This is true, although everyone dies in the targeted cities. He does not reveal the names of all the cities that he believes will be targeted, but he did conversationally reveal the following during his interview… San Diego, Omaha, Washington DC, Seattle, Jacksonville, and Colorado Springs. A logical thinking person will know that pretty much any major city will be targeted, and there are quite a number more that we could add to the list (I’m sure you can figure it out).

Most of the radiation from a nuclear blast target zone dissipates in weeks to a month (do your own due-diligence here), at which time our ‘leaders’ will come out of their bunkers, the military having been neutered/destroyed due to the preemptive strike.

The idea being that the only chance of survival for those who survived outside the targeted cities will be to join forces with them. That is, enough remaining Americans will be so desperate for help that they will accept the new global militarized New World Order to save them.

Globalists want to use WW3 as the ultimate instrument to put us in a headlock to get Americans to drop sovereignty after the military is decapitated and to become so desperate so as to do anything to be saved, and to then be ‘harnessed’. War forces people into things they would never dream of…

Skousen believes that we will continue to experience an economic downhill slide until this war comes… which will be a fairly big surprise for most because the gov’t will keep us from knowing this is coming.

The globalists motivation is not money or power. They already have all that. They want a complete control system. It borders on Satanic. Skousen goes on to identify some of the globalists to include Henry Kissinger, Hank Paulsen, and ALL of the federal reserve chairman’s.

He finishes up by suggesting to get away from the major cities, and that population density is your worst enemy (which we also concur, for a number of reasons).

There is no doubt that to prepare for such a disaster (catastrophe – apocalypse), one would need to take prepping to a very high level, the first level of which is one’s location.

We are not endorsing the opinions of Skousen, but we certainly are not discounting them either. Keeping an open mind to what ‘could’ or ‘might’ happen is healthy, and sheds light on one’s own threshold of tolerance when it comes to how far one is willing to go to insure their own survival.

How far are you willing to go?

Aircraft Carriers off the East Coast

The aircraft carrier, CVN 69, Dwight D. Eisenhower, is reported to be underway in the Atlantic ocean on a ‘training exercise’ and mapped off the east coast. The aircraft carrier, CNV 77, G.H.W. Bush, is reported to be underway in the Atlantic ocean conducting ‘qualifications’ and mapped off the east coast.

While all may be perfectly ‘normal’ or routine, I’m throwing it out there that it’s interesting that we have 2 carrier groups ‘apparently’ right off the east coast, given the recent revelation of government plans to evacuate Chicago, the implementation of Chicago’s ‘Red Zone’ ahead of the upcoming global NATO summit there, and the alternative news media attention to a possible upcoming ‘red flag’ event.

Additionally, it’s interesting to note that we have the Enterprise sitting at or near the Strait of Hormuz, opposite Iran (sitting duck?), and the Abraham Lincoln not too far south of that.

The amphibious warship’s ‘Iwo Jima’ and ‘Makin Island’ (LHD-7 and LHD-8) are apparently cruising (racing?) towards the Middle East region.

Again, all may be status quo, but it’s interesting to observe and speculate.

Chicago Fears Evacuation and Federal Red Zone

There is a secret plan to evacuate Chicago in the event of trouble due to the upcoming NATO summit May 20-21 taking place at McCormick Place (the largest convention center in the United States). The Red Cross in Milwaukee is preparing to shelter Chicagoans if they need to be relocated. A Red Cross email sent out to volunteers, and obtained by CBS 2 News in Chicago, messaged the plan to evacuate residents of Chicago in the event of ‘trouble’ during the NATO summit in May.

…this conference may create unrest or another national security incident… the American Red Cross in eastern Wisconsin has been asked to place a number of shelters on standby in the event of evacuations from Chicago.

When questioned about the plan, the Red Cross said in a statement “Our direction has come from the city of Chicago and the secret service”.

A ‘False Flag‘ in the making?

Also of note, the federal government’s decision to create a militarized “Red Zone” in the Loop (the commercial center, theater and shopping district of downtown Chicago) and extended throughout the south Loop area often referred to as the federal complex, in the run-up to the NATO summit.

“A lot of us were surprised to read that. Obviously, the federal government doesn’t consult with the city when they do this. Everybody was unaware of this,” said Host Committee Executive Director Lori Healey, reported from the Chicago Sun-Times.

The plan for “Operation Red Zone” kicks into high gear beginning May 1, “to protect a vast area in the Loop where thousands of federal employees and dozens of government offices are located”. The official designated Red Zone is said to be between State-and-Franklin, and Harrison-and-Adams including the financial district according to a report from WGN Chicago.

‘Conditioning’ the American public?
Potentially the first martial law zone?

Be it over-the-top security, conspiracy, the makings of a False Flag event, the 1st attempt at Martial Law, or the ongoing conditioning of the American public as to the new normal – armed federal troops on our streets – watching you (us) (them -  whoever they are…), ‘papers please’ to get in or out of the zone, it just doesn’t feel right. The fact that they fear trouble (military red-zone on U.S. soil, and planning for Chicago evacuation) due to NATO being here, what does that tell you about how people on the street must feel about NATO? Agenda-21 perhaps? Or do they know something that we don’t know? Or are they just planting fear in the minds of Americans? I suppose we’ll find out in a few weeks…
