I’ve been an avid reader and paying supporter of Bill’s work since the days of “Eject! Eject! Eject!”. I’ve given copies of “Silent America” as Christmas gifts and handed out DVDs of “Firewall” to every adult I know. I’m a military veteran and student of history, so when I tell you that I’m on your side and I understand what’s being said about the difference between a mob and an army I’ll ask you to take me at my word.
But there’s a disconnect here that I’m having a hard time getting past and no one seems able to answer it for me.
If you concede (as Bill seems to) that the Enemies of Freedom control every meaningful channel to disseminate information I don’t see how the answer can be “we have to tell the American story better”. How, exactly, are we supposed to do that?
If you concede that our elections are rigged top to bottom (as Bill seems to) how can the answer be “run for office”? How, exactly, are we supposed to do that?
As I so often say these are not rhetorical questions. Is the idea here that if enough principled conservatives manage to get themselves elected as local dog catcher that one of them is going to slip through the cracks and not have a consequential election stolen from them by the same forces that just ousted Trump? Are you saying that if enough of us hand out leaflets on street corners it’ll be enough to overcome Google, Twitter and the entire educational system?
Or are we supposed to sacrifice the rest of our own lives to Marxist slavery secure in the knowledge that five generations down the line our efforts might finally bear fruit?
I’d really like to know how, exactly, you envision this working if we’re going to unilaterally take tactics off the table.
And also, stop calling the Republicans “spineless”. They’re not spineless, they’re not stupid and they’re not naive; with precious few exceptions they’re on the other side. Until that fact is recognized there’s no hope for any of this.

I think I remember a statistic about the American Revolution for about 1/3 of the residents for it, 1/3 against it, and 1/3 neutral. Our 2020 election puts us in the 50/50 category at worst and the 75 for America/ 25 against it more likely. We also have the advantage of not having to come up with a framework of the constitution. Our biggest obstacle is replacing the politicians and the bureaucrats who are AINO (Americans in Name Only). This will be a long tough slog through the mud. We didn’t get here overnight and we won’t return to a free country in a week or even a year.
I think that what is frustrating you is that there is no Manual, no playbook yet. Because this is not a guns and ground game, we are going to have to devise the strategies and the tactics to achieve this huge undertaking. But this is where we excel as Americans. When we put our brains together, we can come up with solutions. Effective solutions.
I would like to label the frustration that I hear in your comments. As Bill pointed out in a previous video, Just like after Pearl Harbor, every soldier wanted to get in the game and go bomb the enemy, You are tired of sitting around. You want to DO SOMETHING! We need to match your skills with what needs to be done.
I think I can help in two ways. First, I can begin to make a list of the things to do that I have heard Bill mention. Second, I could help you figure out where you could best be used right now. A few moments in an audio skype, a few questions and a little brainstorming and I think we could make some progress.
Would either of those help you move past your frustration and into starting to actually do things to move the ball down the field?
Your question is the most important one facing us. Here are some ideas from me and I hope others come up with even better ones:

These are slow and tedious — I wish/hope there are shortcuts — DJT’s presidency was one.
When we originally squashed the marxists in the USA, they initiated their “long march through the institutions” and they had no misconception that it would be quick and easy. I don’t think our march this time is through the institutions — I think it’s through peoples hearts, paved on stories and values.
Funny, I was just sitting down to write a post with that same title.
I recommend that Bill start with what he has now. There are several of us that have posted such. If you know how to fix it, Bill, let us know. I hear people clamoring to know “what do we do?” and “how do we fix it?”.
I think you missed some of the point. A big deal actually.
Bill wants to build up the system from the bottom, not the top. Run for local things. What has the most impact. And whatever on top becomes irrelevant. Even if it does not change — but it will, as it just lose the support.
The part what keeps me skeptic is that I see that people are in love with their phones and handheld gizmos. 30 years ago the idea would have just worked by itself. Now the minds are poisoned. Not just by the propaganda. He did not cover that part yet, maybe he has some plan how to lead back humanity to the natural world form tha opium of the artificial.
You be decent people. Each individual does what good they can do. You look after your family and friends, you stand up in your community and you make people’s lives better. You espouse the conservative values of small government, private property and virtue.
This will win over those you know. This will change society at the most basic level: the level of you.You will build conservative families. A conservative family will build a conservative society. We have to win by being the better people and letting this propagate by osmosis, by word-of-mouth.
We the people. From the people to the people.
That’s an impressive collection of platitudes but you’re not answering my question. How, exactly, does that translate into dislodging a fraudulent, oppressive alliance of government and business that forcibly denies our rights and bars us from the political process? Because in case you haven’t noticed we’ve already done all that and the result is 100% Marxist control of the government.
They’d be platitudes if I didn’t really believe in them.
Let me make this very clear: America is not my country. I have no skin in the game per se, and what happens over there affects me only insomuch as it affects international politics and power-brokering. So why should I bother?
Because it’s God’s own country. Created through divine inspiration and with a role to play in the future of the world. Because once upon a time it wasn’t the butt of all the jokes in my country, and every other, that watches your political news and laughs at you. The American Dream used to be real. Your social currency had worth. It was the land of the free and home of the brave.
But it wasn’t the coasts, the minerals or the location that magically imparted these benefits. It was the people. We The People. What an amazing piece of phraseology that is.
I’m sorry to say this, but you have failed your country by not living up to the standards of people that it needed you to be. You have failed all of us who never had your opportunity or your liberty. You have failed the dreams of those who aspired to be like you, who saw you as an example, who relied on you for protection or to support democracy.
You sold your freedom for a little security and so you deserve neither. You let things slide, you allowed yourself to be like other countries (majority led democracy) instead of a Republic; to let leaders implement ‘decrees’ and ‘judgments’ that crippled your constitutional rights; to let in the soft and comforting whispers of socialism and stateism; to allow filthy corrupt politicians to take the power and reins of government.
It is your fault. And now you’re going to pay for it. We’re all going to pay for it.
But there is one thing that can save your country and it’s the same thing that always made America what it was. It’s the people.
If you can be the brave, then you will be the free. If you can build society from the ground up in the image of strong conservative values; put people of honesty, integrity and trust into the positions of local government.. then there is some hope. I don’t know the specifics of how that will be done. Your founding fathers were inspired once. Your people can be inspired again.
You have to be those people. You must be those people. Because if you’re not; then you have nothing. No God. No Freedom. No America.
Since you choose to answer my question only with further platitudes and insults thrown in for good measure let me put this as clearly as I can: go fuck yourself.
I think that answers what’s wrong with your country. I note that Bill, in his first video in this series, was able to understand his participation in and portion of the blame. As he put it in this video: if you don’t get that, then get out of the way.
Please tell me that you are doing something in the UK (or wherever you live) besides giving Americans lectures on what we are doing wrong. Surely there is something you can do as well to promote conservatism in your own country, other than expecting it to grow outward, by osmosis, starting from your family.
The Rebellion has many tools and strategies at their disposal. Some are new and some older than immemorial time. Understanding essentially who (and what) we are, as well as who and what we are rebelling from is a paramount prerequisite.
I needed this episode to help beat the rabbit outta me. (& 1x donated again in Thanks.)
I don’t know where Bill stands exactly with respect to what needs to be done, but with the enemy controlling every avenue of relief (the media, the courts, education, social media, you name it), we really are in the same spot the founding fathers were. Various states need to get together and pass their declaration of independence and then let come what may. At this point, that is the only solution with respect to what can be done.
Or perhaps . . . on the other hand, we can just give up. Personally, I have a mind to keep saving my money, gather enough resources for my family, go find a country a little more appreciative of its liberty and let the founders sabotaged 200 year old experiment continue rotting from within with the comfort of knowing it’s not my problem. Sooner or later, there’s going to be a point where this country is beyond saving (if that point hasn’t been reached already).
