By long American tradition, protest movements manifest themselves most fully in gatherings in Washington, D.C, starting at the Washington Monument and culminating in speeches at the Lincoln Memorial. At long last, after two years of astonishing attacks on fundamental rights that most everyone once believed were protected by the U.S. Constitution, this happened today, January 23, 2022.
It didn’t just happen actually. It wasn’t spontaneous. It was paid for, planned, organized, put together, and broadcast on online media. There was nothing but sincere love of what we used to call liberty behind these efforts. The speakers, organizers, and people who showed up took huge risks in order to salvage what is left of the Founders’ vision. They deserve every credit for this. Bless them.
The enduring question is: why did it take so long? Why did people not pour out into the streets on March 13, 2020, when the government first issued its lockdown directives that were put into place the next week and lasted for months after? How is it possible that governments around the country could have locked up the churches on Easter 2020, smashed 100K-plus small businesses, and kept many schools closed for the better part of two years and yet protests against lockdowns were few, far between, and mostly unattended?
Let us not forget that “social distancing” rules were structured to “keep people separate,” in the words of the crank doctor Deborah Birx who concocted all these protocols and talked Trump into accepting them. Combined with capacity restrictions, they amounted to a ban on public meetings. In many states, you could not gather with more than 10 people. This was enforced by the police and cheered by mainstream media.
So let us not be too hard on people for not living a life of utter defiance. In addition, in those days, people were utterly shell-shocked. They feared not only the virus (which data had already shown was not a threat to most people of working age) but aIso arrest, doxxing, and shaming. The George Floyd protests got the green light from the same institutions, so people used the occasion to let off steam, but that light quickly turned red thereafter.
The lockdowns gradually mutated into another attack on basic freedoms. The vaccines seemed like they might emancipate us from the panic and tyrannies but the beast of tyranny had already been unleashed. What seemed like a promising way of dealing with a disease revealed itself to be an unprecedented attack on individual choice and biology. People who have not complied have seen their lives utterly upended.
Meanwhile, in the midst of this whole trajectory of decline, the harms multiplied seemingly without limit, affecting every aspect of life quality for people of all ages. The political establishment and public-health officials have been stunningly obtuse, refusing to apologize and often only doubling down on the insanity, even though everyone knows they are lying. To everyone’s amazement, Big Tech and Big Media have not only gone along but allowed themselves to be enlisted in what amounted to a war against life and liberty.
So, yes, after two years, we finally have it, the DC protest we’ve long needed. I very much admire the speakers for keeping their composure in the midst of all this. After all, do we really need to explain that something has gone fundamentally wrong? Is it not unbearably obvious that we’ve been lied to, abused, and played very hard by a fascist-style regime that is utterly foreign to American ideals, institutions, history, and aspirations? We should not have to, but we do, and with the eyes of the world watching.
Many of the speeches spoke not only to the vaccine mandates but to the lockdowns, which seem perhaps like ancient history, but which are very much present day with cultural, economic, and public-health damage that has been inflicted.
The spirit of the event was striking. It was diverse in terms of religion, ideology, and demographics. The theme of every speech centered on that beautiful word freedom, even if there were a range of different perspectives heard from the microphones. And surely, freedom is a theme on which everyone can agree. And surely most people, once it is explained, understand that a medicinal mandate of limited public utility and questionable safety, as a condition for participation in public life or even for getting paid for one’s job, is contrary to the ideal of freedom.
Why, then, were not millions present at this rally? Yes, there should have been. My answer: because this is not 1963. Consider:
- D.C. has a vaccine mandate in place, so anyone not vaccinated, or anyone who refuses to participate in the new segregation, would have to stay and eat across the borders in Maryland or Virginia.
- We live in very dangerous times when social-media trolls can wreck your life if you are targeted by them: showing up to an edgy, anti-regime protest in D.C. is very likely to enliven them.
- Facial recognition technology allows anyone with a camera, including the major media, to capture a pic of any face and identify and discover everything there is to know about you, which means basically that there is no privacy anymore in public spaces.
- The media had already spent days pre-reporting the event and characterizing it as a bunch of Trump-deluded anti-vaccination activists with dangerous associations with unseemly ideological movements.
- Plane travel these days is a huge pain in the neck, with loudspeakers endlessly blaring patronizing messages about masking and social distancing, and filled with threats that non-compliers will have their lives ruined.
- Plus, anyone could watch and listen to the speeches from laptops at home instead of braving the very cold weather.
- The corporate media has spent the better part of a year doxxing and smearing absolutely anyone who showed up to the January 6, 2021, pro-Trump rally at the Capitol even if they didn’t participate in the unruly entry into the building. They all became and remain suspects to this day. Do you really want to protest in DC?
Given all this, it strikes me as remarkable and a sign of great strength that several thousand people managed to show at all. And while anyone can criticize this speaker or that, this line in a speech or that, I’m reluctant to do so simply because I have no idea of the herculean effort it would require to organize something on this scale and the anxiety that would be associated with all the landmines planted in such a terrain.
My attitude is: respect for those who did this.
The question is: for every person in attendance, how many people did they represent? I hope that every person there represents one million more. Ten million more. I do not see that as entirely implausible. We needed this rally if only as a show of what could be. And the overarching spirit, what was it? It was the most fundamental thing, the aspiration for simple freedom. That is what is at stake. It’s more important than ideology, partisanship, religion, race, or any of the other things that previously divided us.
When foundational postulates of civilization itself are sweeping to destruction, what do we do? We do what we can in every way that is possible. If that means organizing a rally, or slogging to D.C., or pulling up an app to watch it on TV, great. Or maybe it means donating to a good organization like Brownstone. Or perhaps saying no whenever or wherever it is possible to do so. We are out of the habit of resistance, but if there is another way to fight against the end of human rights, I do not know it.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
It appears that we are quite short on options. It looks like it’s time to examine ourselves and pray like we’ve never prayed before.
Unfortunately Americans will not heed God’s word. They are to full of themselves to see the need for repentance.
Pray and ask God to help when you finally have to take action to restore freedom to America. Prayer alone will not do it.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world (John, 16, 33).
” The New World Order is neither New nor Order: it represents the foolish ambition of Satan to overthrow the providential plan of God, to cancel the true Religion that leads to eternal salvation and finally to replace the “ordo christianus” (“the Christian order”) with infernal chaos. In this disorder, the lie replaces the Truth, injustice and abuse of power replace justice, whim instead of obedience to the law of God, death instead of life, illness instead of health, the legitimization of Evil and the condemnation of Good, the persecution of good people and the praising of evil ones, ignorance in the place of culture and wisdom, ugliness and horror instead of beauty, division and hatred instead of harmony and love. Satan doesn’t want to be worshipped by adopting the qualities of God, but by demanding to be an object of adoration through everything that is evil, obscene, false, absurd, and monstrous. He seeks complete subversion, a subversion ontologically devilish and Antichristic: a “New Order” obtained by means of a global coup d’état imposed under the guise of an engineered planned emergency.
The vaccine campaign, lacking any scientific validity, serves first of all as the apparent legitimization for implementing global tracking and controls, today under the pretext of limiting COVID spread (a pretext which is false, because, among other reasons, the vaccinated can still become infected and be contagious). But tomorrow, this campaign aims to expand its reach, extending the “Green Pass” to include information used in a “social credit system” to confront a “green emergency,” which will be likewise false and specious. The “Green Pass” is being conceived as something like the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John to allow or forbid people to buy, sell, travel, spend, eat and live.
Secondly, the inoculation of people with an experimental genic serum that provokes a weakening of our natural immune system represents a very grave crime, because it turns ordinary healthy people into chronically ill people, and consequently into customers of the health care companies and private care. This situation hugely inflates the profits of the globalist élite and brings a general impoverishment of the population. Even this aspect, apparently secondary, reveals the subversive character of the “Great Reset,” because the “Great Reset” does not represent only an attack against the health of an individual, but also an attack against the national security of the States, because their armed forces are harmed by the side effects of the vaccine, while the not-vaccinated soldiers are banned from active duty. I think that this is a point not enough considered by those who are analyzing the present crisis, and it shows the malice of those who. Once in power, cooperate for the destruction of nations in order to subjugate them to the New Order.

It’s first and foremost a spiritual war.
“We’re the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives” – Tyler Durden, Fight Club
That shit was kind of true in the 90s when Fight Club came out…
…but it’s no longer true.
We who are alive today now get to deal with the very worst history will ever have to offer. And we are dealing with it already.
No other so-called Land of Confusion can compare with our own.
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies… is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.”
― Carroll Quigley
Thanks for the bottom image, I had forgotten that T Gabbard is WEF.

It will take time but the TRUTH will spread even wider. Someone once said, “It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled (duped).” We have been duped big time! We are the targets of an relentless and vicious psychological operation designed to create fear, panic and hysteria, to short circuit our critical thinking skills and induce mass psychosis. The oligarchs have turned society upside down. Families have been split, friendships shattered and an even greater divide and gulf exists between people based upon lies disinformation and propaganda.
It takes courage to be a nonconformist, it takes determination to be a dissident especially when the oligarchs have the power and resources to make your life miserable in so many ways. We are witnessing the Milgram Experiment playing out in real time. https://lisbdnet.com/what-was-the-primary-conclusion-of-stanley-milgrams-obedience-research/#:~:text=Stanley%20Milgram%20reached%20the%20con
God bless those who organized the rally!! It takes courage perseverance and gumption to go against the grain, it requires a greater vision of oneself to dare to be different, to boldly stand against oppression! Thank you! Keep the fires of resistance burning, knowing full well the Luciferians are not going to back down from the plans to usher in their neo-feudal technocracy. Long live the resistance!
I watched the whole thing on Real Americas Voice network. The event was extremely well organized and the speakers were great. RFK Jr was fantastic. The best part was the bipartisan crowd. They were there for the Bill of Rights, not a political party.
