Joe Biden recently spoke of how an uprising by American citizens against his federal government would be futile. You need nuclear weapons, he said, you need F-15s. It was the talk of the day, until the next day when more nonsense came out of Washington and more from New York and California and the teachers unions and the Squad and Fauci and the CDC. It has been a rather nonsensical summer.
People complained at the end of 2020. Ugh, what a rotten year. What made anyone think 2021 would be better? Mask mandates have become vaccine mandates. Democrat governors and mayors have doubled down on their tyrannical executive orders, the media have demonized anyone for noncompliance. Citizens are refusing to let their kids’ friends in if they don’t have a “passport.”
America today bears resemblance to the British colonies of the pre-Revolution 1770s. There was strife and disagreement between loyalists to the crown and those who became the resistance. There was fighting among us, and a hunger not only for food, but freedom. Ben Franklin cautioned: The king is not going to give us the freedoms we were seeking. We had to make claim to them, and form a new country.
"Make no mistake, war is coming," George Washington said to Sam Adams, John Adams and John Hancock in Philadelphia. And war did come, in a conflict that by any stretch of the imagination our founders should not have won. The British Empire had the world’s most awesome force of weaponry, brutal men, and thousands of teenage soldiers to sacrifice on the front line. We, meanwhile, barely had the makings of an army.
But we fought. So many lost life and limb in one of the bloodiest human conflicts in modern history. Battle after ruthless battle, against all odds. We ultimately won, despite being outgunned and outnumbered. It was not a fair fight, but we prevailed for one reason: We wanted freedom over ourselves more than the British wanted to continue tyrannically reigning over us.
Back to Biden. His discouragement of an uprising is actually among the more lucid things he has said of late. American individuals and rag-tag groups are not positioned to take on today's tyranny from D.C., any more than colonists were in 1776 against His Majesty’s Royal Navy.
We The People are no longer united – we have been deliberately, tribally divided. An uprising here or there would be amply crushed by His Majesty’s woke army of federal agents and those loyal to their paychecks. Citizens thrown into a D.C. hell hole for “threatening our democracy” would be laughed at by the corporate media, given jailhouse beatings instead of due process.
Even if a majority of Americans wanted a new revolution, we are geographically disconnected, and reliant on digital communication we know our government tracks. Our banks, while seemingly so friendly in their advertising, rat us out for our spending anywhere near the location of an insincerely perceived “insurrection.”
What, then? The work of Convention of States is America’s best shot today of modern revolution to retake our freedom from the corrupt, bloated national government that robs us through taxation only to rule us mindlessly, while swiftly destroying our traditions and culture. We The People can fight the government’s nuclear arsenal and federal forces, in a bloodless battle that returns power to the states and gets the United States of America back on track as the greatest idea humanity ever had.
