Guest Post by Freed Radical
So I thought that before I join the revolution and lose my life in defense of freedom I’d just go ahead and publish my rambling screed. You know, that long document that martyrs leave behind railing against the machine, the man, the system, or whatever. Perhaps by doing this I can get some good edits under my belt because it would be embarrassing to publish a first draft rambling screed loaded with typos or factual inaccuracies. (Is that white privilege?)
This also allows CNN and other high quality news outlets to have my rambling screed on file, like they do with obituaries of famous people, but ready to excerpt, distort, criticize, and ridicule after my untimely yet heroic passing (though I do not feel a bit suicidal).
To prevent my screed from rambling too much, I’ll outline it for you. First, there is the value of freedom, then society’s reaction to oppression, and last, our action to regain freedom.
Freedom has always come at a great cost, namely because some people are incurably evil. Don’t believe me? Read the Bible. Or visit New York City. Or Congress.
Only with freedom does mankind reach its highest potential and achievement, and in contrast servitude to evil begets mediocrity, resentment, laziness and early death. Our founding fathers knew this intimately, having a solid grounding in history, and seeing the oppression of the British crown. Today, “Give me liberty or give me death” is considered by the woke a tired boomer platitude, and not the great cost of freedom. But Patrick Henry stated this as a factual preference in his rambling screed.
Anything less than full freedom is some shade of slavery.
Without freedom, each person lives at the behest of another, and is degraded. Outright slavery is a graphic example, but evil men have devised cunning ways to enslave others gently. Confident that all my readers are familiar with the concept of employment, as an example I ask you to examine your paycheck stub. Every dollar withheld in tax is a diminution of freedom. Some diminutions we agree with, as it is fitting for government to handle garbage and sewage, and occasionally take military action. The rest are usurpations of our power, with no shame, no accounting, and no apology. Thus we are degraded.
The “pandemic” has given the government the excuse to strip even more freedoms. Promoting forced vaccinations is the propagandist’s preparation for our further submission. Loss of movement, association, church, employment, and control of personal health are the latest assaults on freedom. The pathetic excuse is, “We are in this together.”
Being in slavery together is still slavery.
Freedom in society is of paramount importance, sometimes to the point of seeming illogical. Freedom is more important than health, security, peace, wealth, family, the economy, international relations, the environment, religion, and anything else you can name, including your very life. Why? Because without freedom the government takes all those things away, and quickly. After 9/11 we were forced to trade freedom for security, and now we have less of both. Today’s graduates at all levels do not understand the primacy of freedom because they have been fed distortions of history by idiot PhD’s obsequious to government.
Without freedom, we are dead all the sooner. “Give me liberty or give me death” is more tautology than screed.
Next, how does society react to oppression? Freedom is critical, but is only secured by We the People. Unfortunately, society reacts to loss of freedom like penned sheep. Baaaaaa. Just look at the Russian people during the fall of communism around 1990. Why were they revolting? Was it due to loss of freedom, or their family members being shot in the streets or shipped to Siberia? No! They revolted because there was simply no bread on the shelves. All it takes to keep a people under servitude is a full belly. Or a welfare check, obamaphone, or filthy Section 8 apartment. Or universal basic income.
For just a few hundred bucks a month in chips and diet cola, the government can maintain The United Slaves of America. And we go to the polls every year and vote for larger government, more chips and diet cola, and more slavery. The people are so dumbed down they have no idea how the game works, nor do they care, as long as they have their obamaphone (made by other slaves in China).
Slaves are subject to their masters, and through the carrot and stick bend to their master’s whims. Take for example, face masks, which are a huge submission training program.
But not all in society are sheep. In the American revolution, only a few percent of the people undertook the fight. Most everyone else stayed home. Thank God for those few.
For we few who love freedom, what action should we take? This being an ante mortem rambling screed, I have to be careful not to advocate any illegal activity against our slave masters, lest it quickly become a post mortem screed, though I’m still not feeling a bit suicidal. You can read about such detailed activities elsewhere, say, in accounts of recent civil wars in eastern Europe, accounts of the effects of socialism, or the history of the resistance to the Nazis in WWII. Study.
When considering specific action, understand that while you and I are held to a strict legal standard, the evil people who enslave us are not. They deal in money, power, and bodies (even children), with little concern for consequences, and they use their wealth to buy off the law at many levels.
Noah Webster said, “If the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; …” He was telling us what I have told my friends in different words, that we are no longer “a nation of laws, not of men,” but rather a nation of bad laws made by corrupt men, and women, at every level. Or even worse, a nation of lawyers, not of men.
I don’t fear criminals who break the law, but criminals who make the law.
It is very difficult to take action and win an unfair fight fighting fairly within this corrupt system. You and I have to decide what actions we will take, and how they mesh with the law. There is a whole range of actions to be taken, even starting within the twisted legal framework that binds us, using it against itself. But in the life of every nation, the debasement to tyranny spurs the courageous to revolt, whatever the cost, whatever the law. America will soon reach that point.
The action I ask you to take now, legally, is banding together with people of like mind. The tragedy of the rambling screed is that it generally comes from a lone wolf. On the contrary, we need to aggregate into wolf packs, people with one purpose and goal, to restore freedom and destroy socialism. Make 2021 the year of gatherings in your home to acknowledge history, expose the tyrants, and champion freedom. Will you do this?
Hypothetically speaking, if the African slaves in 1620 had access to hundreds of millions of firearms and a trillion rounds of ammo, would American slavery have lasted more than 20 minutes? And we spend our days watching cat videos.
That’s my rambling screed. What’s yours? Write it out, what you believe, what principles guide you, what you are willing to live for, and die for. What’s your limit? Patrick Henry’s limit was full liberty, else death. I’m still waiting for the church to revolt against the government over abortion. What’s their limit, because sixty one million dead children ain’t it! Is it 100,000,000, or 200,000,000? Decide your limit, if you are not already way beyond it.
Don’t be idle collaborators, like the church. We have to decide our limits ahead of time, and be ready to act when the time comes, even now. We must choose our roles, whether coordinators, communicators, politicians, educators, evangelists, propagandists, financiers, or something else. We have to decide how to live after they freeze our assets and take our jobs, for they own the system. What’s your plan after the Marxists take your home or imprison your family?
History is being made. The war started decades ago. The death toll stands at 61,000,000+, with much of the population shackled in economic slavery. What will you do about it?

“So I thought that before I join the revolution and lose my life in defense of freedom I’d just go ahead and publish my rambling screed. You know, that long document that martyrs leave behind railing against the machine, the man, the system, or whatever.”
I’m pretty sure you could make an argument that the Declaration of Independence was a martyrs document also.
Screed on, my friend, screed on.
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Also to Paraphrase Benjamin Franklin…if we don’t all hang together in this endeavor we shall certainly each hang (as from a gallows) Individually.
The time to kill (or be killed by) the luciferin/commie sons of bitches and daughters of witches is here.
Nicely done!!
Actually, it’s damned near impossible to win “fighting fairly”. The deck is heavily stacked against us. The house almost always wins.

Good luck with that. Really. The time is coming when illegal action is needed. Not yet, though. We still have enough bread. And the circus is simply marvelous.
Long ago I learned there are those that fight fair, and those that win. I have never fought for fun. Sort of like in the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, at the start of the knife fight, when Paul Newman says let’s sort out the rules, and the other guy says there ain’t no rules in a knife fight and immediately gets kicked in the nuts.
War is hell. Fighting fair is not a real thing, except perhaps on the sporting field.
Want to win? Kick them in the nuts first chance you get. Want to increase the chance of getting your ass kicked? Fight fair.
The only War crime is to lose.
The only fair fight is the one you win.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer who coined the phrase “First they came for the Jews but I was not a Jew so did nothing. Then they came for…” He was a committed pacifist but was involved in the plot to kill Hitler. He reasoned that the situation had become so terrible murder was the only option.
But think long and hard on alternatives, young man. Violence is the state’s raison d’être. That and theft is what they’re really good at.
CC – why anyone would vote that down is beyond me.
I guess people are angry and thirsting for blood never considering that blood may be their own.

The House of Cards otherwise known as the United States is rapidly coming apart. Once the devolution is complete, there will many who will perish. At first it will be the many who basically refuse to play the game and do what they are told to do, but about midways the tables will turn and it will be anyone with the power and means to have refused what went down. The final stage will be anyone and everyone who stood back and did nothing, who will be judged based on the evidence that was right in front of their faces, and also for the lies that they repeated for the shills and toadies. That is when the many of tens of millions will perish, for merely being simpletons and fools.
Neither in my head nor in my hand. That is my hill and i shall die upon it.
I believe scripture warned us. The beast is come and i will not bear its mark.
Maybe i’m a loon. Maybe not. But i think we are at that point, or them theys are just trying to make it look that way. Shock and awe. Hard not to think of baby bushs’ words sometimes. They hate us for our freedoms. As They always have, ever since the signing of the magna carta.
Whenever I think about words from Bush the lesser, I think about his reference to the Constitution being nothing more than “a goddamned piece of paper”. Be that as it may, they all took an Oath to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. None has done that. Not one. Yet the dysfunctional .gov exists, losing more trust daily. Perhaps it’s time to water the tree of liberty.
For what little it is worth, I feel I must relay a message I was given a few nights ago.
You know that part of sleep when you are no longer asleep, but not yet awake. That brief moment in time when you know the body is still turned off and the brain is working but waiting for everything else to catch up. It was during this moment of darkness when I heard a man say; “If you didn’t like 2020, you are not going to be thrilled by 2029, specially with what the “visitors” leave. But keep you chin up, 2037 will be much more like 2019; and from there out, life will be good again.”
Yea, I thought this to be just so much B S , the kind of stuff that” weird old man down the street” says. Then I noticed I kept hearing the same thing kind of repeat itself a few times during the next couple of day. It has since stopped but I felt compelled to pass it along. I have know idea who are referred to as “the visitors”; maybe aliens or the Chinese army. What they leave could be terrible devastation or a “puppet government” which takes us the next several years to clean up or over come. I do find some comfort in being told we will recover and set things right again.
And then again, it could have been the hallucinations of a mind which is becoming more and more everyday like that “weird old man down the street”.
2037?
2037?
And thats cool with you?
Anyone that isn’t rambling has most likely been lobotomized by their self indulgent plunge into the oblivion of programmed distraction. We can see all the signs and yet it feels like we are alone in our witnessing of these events. I had a couple of guys out helping me do some work around the household and I was amazed to hear each of them express in their own way an understanding that “something” is not right, but both have a sense of powerlessness to do anything to change the tide. I can’t blame them because they equally expressed that they felt like islands among their friends. To say that things will only get worse is to understand that many pieces of being pivoted by the players on the board, which we are not counted since we are the pawns, and they are falling into place. The depth of chaos to be seen and felt depends on how few or how many fight the growing chains of their bondage. 2021 through 2029 will decide much in the survival of this Republic and its democratic attributes. My rights, though, were never granted by our Constitution, but it merely recognized them as being inherently bestowed by the Almighty.
We arent even pawns. We sre non player characters. Pawn would be a promotion. Generals are pawns.
I know what once was and I can see what’s coming. I prefer the former and will endeavor to that end to the best of my ability.
I’m getting more pissed off each day. I find myself mentally working through situations not of my making.
Just the other day I was speaking with some like minded folks and we were throwing out ideas on how to bring about the “shot heard round the world 2.o” I take it with a sense of pride that I came up with the best idea.
The key to the fight will be the big cities. The carnage needs to start there and the best way is to destroy the water supply of a few large metro areas THAT ARE NEAR RURAL AREAS. Now the obvious way is to vote in demorats to destroy through idiocy but that takes too long. It needs to be a multi city event as we need to press the government into a situation where they can not respond so the cities start to empty. THAT is why the cities need to be near enough to rural areas full of normal people who will not take kindly to ferals showing up looking for food and shelter.
We decided that 50 people and less than $ 500,000 would be needed to start the festivities.
Personal statements, screeds, discourse, diatribe or mantra are all good. It is your thought being transcribed or transposed and there is no purpose critique of the body. The only thing I would change is the use of “screed” as it repetitious. Use some synonyms and tighten up the comma splices and don’t be afraid to use the almighty colon and semicolon, the two dots and dot/comma in punctuation wise asses “: ;”, to add strength to your statement or idea sentences.
I write like an ape on TBP; however, should I get back to persuasive writing and/or critical essay writing for the purposes of the war then I will write real nice-like to make sure all the academic cunts that try to dissect my formal declaration will get the Joseph Helleresque treatment of incredibly long and perfectly proper sentences as well as paragraphs on top of the Cormac McCarthy element of short declarations just to fuck with the academic types lol.
Rough drafts are, well, rough. I tend to re-read essays/ critiques several times to see where I can make more concise points with brevity and the tone, which is always audience dependent. Academic writing versus persuasive or creative always wore me out, but it has its place as well. Damn dude. Now you have me pondering laying the groundwork for some thoughts on paper or digital.
Few more drafts and it will be where you want it. Remember that it is your essay/statement and you have ultimate control over its content. Free-think the shit out of it and make no apologies for your committment.
Keep up the fire.
