If You Are Not Yet Convinced Of The Need For A Second American Revolution, Then Read This
The following are the annotated statements of Founding Father Samuel Adams from his article “The Rights of the Colonists” in The Report of the Committee of Correspondence to the Boston Town Meeting, Nov. 20, 1772.
“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.”
The Biden regime, together with its allies in the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party, consider those natural rights, not unalienable endowed by the Creator, but as privileges dispensed or withdrawn according to the convenience of the state.
Call it globalism, communism or neo-Feudalism, the intent is the same, to establish a world government by an international ruling class, who exploit the land for personal profit and rule over billions of people without liberty or property.
The usurper Biden has already declared that our rights guaranteed under the Constitution are “not absolute” and is actively in the process of eliminating them, in particular, the Second Amendment, upon which all of our other freedoms depend.
The totalitarian Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum said, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
Is the Biden regime’s ongoing deliberate demolition of the U.S. economy a North American sequel to Mao Zedong’s 1958 to 1962 Great Leap Forward, a policy that led to the deaths of up to 45 million Chinese, easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder in history?
Do Americans really want to wait to find out?
Samuel Adams also wrote:
“The Legislative has no right to absolute, arbitrary power over the lives and fortunes of the people.”
Can any American today honestly believe that Washington, D.C. represents the interests of and is accountable to the people as defined by the U.S. Constitution?
The Democrat Party has permanent control of the federal bureaucracy, which is composed of unelected officials, who have the power to comprehensively regulate our lives and punish us when we don’t comply.
The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in particular, have become political weapons against Democrat Party opponents, which has created a two-tier system of justice.
In our current de facto one-party state, Republicans play the role of court eunuchs.
The Republican Party has seceded from its voters and should be abandoned as a political vehicle capable of providing any effective opposition to the Biden regime, the Democrats or the mainstream media. It too is a party of the ruling class and the Deep State.
Once elected, members of Congress serve only their own interests, and that of their party and its wealthy donors. Petitioning Congress for the redress of grievances is an exercise in futility.
Now that our elections have proven to be a sham and our political system has been shown to be hopelessly corrupt, Americans who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law must choose either to resist or to submit to a one-party totalitarian state.
On this July 4, 2022, we must heed the words of another Founding Father, John Adams:
“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.”
More recently, President Ronald Reagan said:
“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”
The United States is no longer a functioning constitutional republic.
American Colonists eventually realized that freedom could only be secured by the action of those who desire it, not as an indulgence granted by distant rulers.
Likewise, there will be no restoration of our constitutional republic emanating from Washington, D.C. from where it has been systematically dismantled to sustain a system riddled with greed and corruption.
If history is any indicator, do not expect the predicted Republican “red wave” in the November mid-term elections to significantly change anything in Washington D.C.
True change can only arise bottom-up. In the end, it will be the decision of the American people to fight for our constitutional republic or submit to tyranny.

One reply on “In the End, It Will Be the Decision of the American People to Fight for our Constitutional Republic or Submit to Tyranny – The Time Is Now”
There’s not much I disagree with there, but there’s no proposed solution either. Unless the “solution” is civil war which is what I take anyone to mean when they’re talking about a “Second American Revolution”. Such a war which if fought now we would probably win with the extreme likelihood of losing the Republic as a result anyway.
I’m no fan of the mainstream Republican Party but … It’s the only political vehicle open to us. If you start another party it will be comprised of the disaffected in the current Republican Party. That move would fatally weaken both and leave the Democrats unopposed.
I’ve tried to do what I can. I left the Republican Party long ago but they still get my votes because the alternative is so much worse.
I see now that the problem lies in who makes it to the point of running for office in the Republican Party. Run RINOs, elect RINOs, suffer under RINO policies and capitulation to our political foes.
The other side sees that too and financially backs either Republican candidates who would side with them or are so far to the Right they’re unelectable. Either way they win.
So I find anything like you posted above to be frustrating. We all know all of that to a greater or lesser degree. None of us need any further convincing that things have gone terribly wrong and our Republic will die if things continue as they have been.
The problem is, while I already know all of that and I agree with the vast bulk of it, it’s simply raging against the machine. Yes, the machine deserves our rage but if that rage is impotent the machine merely shrugs it off and continues materially unhindered. So what’s the solution?
It’s way, way too easy for old pharts like us to sit at our keyboards and call for a “Second American Revolution”. It’s even easier for those of us who have never seen a war, much less experienced a civil war, who have never held a rifle that you bet your ass it’s loaded, while bullets and fragments populate the environment like deadly bees. Who have never faced the concentrated effort of others to kill them. Who have never seen the destruction of everything held dear in a spasm of chaotic violence.
Even for those of us who have seen such things it’s way too easy to say “Get out there and start the ‘Second American Revolution,'” I’m too old to fight at any effective level. I’m very cautious about telling other people to do so. If that’s the only solution we’re not there yet because that cure is worse than the disease, at least at this point in history. If the day ever comes when you see me calling for people to pick up arms it will be a statement supporting what’s already more than obvious.
And yet, there is hope still. We were headed the right direction under the last President. The Democrats are fouling their own nest beyond the point where people can tolerate them. We may just have to let them do that to “wake up” the majority in this nation that are largely concerned with personal and not political matters. Then hope we can recover from that treasonous perfidy.
I am not prescient, I cannot see the future. I don’t know what the solution is. Do you?
