This is good, been sharing it around. I know as you what we are fighting, but I also know the enemy does not understand whom they have awakened.
For years many have warned of these times, I have tried. however the last few weeks have felt deflated, worn down. Not at the give up point, just worn.
There is fight somewhere and I shall be apart of it as I can.
I cannot do much, but what little I can do, I shall do.
For what is at stake is the future of America, but even more important the future of our children and grandchildren’s futures.
Shall we cower in fear and allow the powers of darkness to fully restrain their future and lives in chains of tyranny?
I say No. What exactly we can do? I am not sure. I support only a few folks I like for thats the funds available.
However trying to awaken others, thats what we all can do.
like the man on the beach throwing each starfish out to sea after the tide has gone back out. No we cannot save all of them, but we shall save all we can.
May God bless you and yours, and guide you to what you need to do.
And may enough of us work to find ways to Save the Republic, once again.

Biden and McConnell are two sides of the same coin. Liz Cheney and Alexandria Cortez are two sides of the same coin. In their eyes, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are two sides of the same coin – outsiders who are not welcome in the elite crony cartel’s playground.

If you’ve never read it, this essay is a bit long, but well worth your time:
“The logic that drives each turn of our revolutionary spiral is Progressive Americans’ inherently insatiable desire to exercise their superiority over those they deem inferior. With Newtonian necessity, each such exercise causes a corresponding and opposite reaction. The logic’s force comes not from the substance of the Progressives’ demands. If that were the case, acquiescing to or compromising with them could cut it short. Rather, it comes from that which moves, changes, and multiplies their demands without end. That is the Progressives’ affirmation of superior worth, to be pursued by exercising dominance: superior identity affirmed via the inferior’s humiliation. It is an inherently endless pursuit…
“Our time’s sharp distinction between rulers and ruled, the ever decreasing interchange and sympathy between them, is rooted in the disdain for ordinary Americans that the universities have sown since the Civil War…
“Progressives since Herbert Croly’s and Woodrow Wilson’s generation have nursed a superiority complex. They distrust elections because they think that power should be in expert hands—their own. They believe that the U.S Constitution gave too much freedom to ordinary Americans and not enough power to themselves, and that America’s history is one of wrongs. The books they read pretend to argue scientifically that the rest of Americans are racist, sexist, maybe fascists, but above all stupid. For them, Americans are harmful to themselves and to the world, and have no right to self-rule…”

I have been a long time viewer, but I finally became a member today. The fight needs material support. Thanks so much for leading the way, Bill. We need you now more than ever.
If people can’t display courage in the face of these cowards and weaklings, then they just don’t have any courage, period. American courage and resolve to stand up for what is right in the face of danger was born for moments JUST LIKE THIS. You were right on the money, Bill. The tipping point is now. Our actions right now will determine how long, and how hard, and how miserable, and how costly this fight has to be.
This is just like the classic occupational primer “How to Swim with Sharks” by Voltaire Cousteau. Rule number 3 is: “Counter any aggression promptly.” V.C. states that the appropriate counter move to signs of aggressive behavior in sharks is a sharp blow to the nose. He further states that those who hold the view that an ingratiating attitude will dispel further attacks can usually be identified by their missing limbs…

I found myself in the camp of feeling like it was over. This was a timely message to be brave. What makes it precarious, as is always the fear of we cowards, is the proximity of our ability to make a living and have a public voice. I think that’s the initial fear that people have — the fear of our lifestyle changing. As you point out, our forefathers faced the same decision and did so with courage. Thank you for the reminder.

Thanks Bill!
I originally thought the plan was to “go gulch”, support American biz, “vote” with our dollars, and basically have nothing to do with “anti-Americans”.
Now I understand that won’t be enough.
I do strongly believe in strength in numbers. If we all stand up, they can’t arrest us all.
I’m in CO and contacting biz’s to get them to stay open and stand up as a group (without much luck). I’m also with another org that’s all about not wearing a mask, no lockdowns, no mandatory vax., and homeschool resources. Inviting people, but most say “I’ll check out their website.”, but then crickets.
Our governor is allowing police and ATF to raid biz’s that defy the “close” order. They come in, shut the place down & confiscate their liquor all without a warrant! They pick them off one by one.
Fear is a big thing.

I just put my money where my mouth has been for some time. Thanks, Mr. Whittle, for being here…and get your content dispersed over as wide a network of alternative platforms as you can…NOW. The shutdown of Parler is a clear warning that Conservative voices will no longer be tolerated if there’s any way to silence them, and those doing the silencing have no regard for anything resembling rationality. My own channel was removed from YT recently, after the now-common accusation of violating their nebulous “terms of service” and indulging in “hate speech” by simply COMMENTING on video content.

With all due respect Bill, while I agree that we won’t become Germany or Russia, becoming Venezuela is a real possibility. You shoudl know this better than anyone from your front row seat of what Governor French Laundry is doing to your state

It seems to me that while these various anti-American groups of people are driven by the motives Bill explained so well in Know Your Enemy (if I am recalling that correctly), the main driver is profit. If being a leftist were not ultimately profitable, they would not pursue it (other than for some of the really hard-core ideologues). Can’t we build a database of people and businesses that support censorship, cancel culture, collectivism, etc and then simply reduce or eliminate doing business with them? Post that database in a place where Americans can access it? It may be difficult and inconvenient at times (think Amazon), but hitting them in the pocketbook is non-violent and can have an immediate impact. Look at what happened recently with the social media outlets that lost thousands of users. Or Twitter’s stock price drop. Put “Go woke, go broke” into widespread practice.
And whatever happened to simply shunning these people? Don’t react at all to them. Simply dismiss and ignore them. Pay no attention. Make it “uncool” to be a lefty (sorry, showing my age).

“Can’t we build a database of people and businesses that support censorship, cancel culture, collectivism, etc and then simply reduce or eliminate doing business with them? Post that database in a place where Americans can access it?”
A great idea but it needs to be done soon/quickly. We can’t wait until we are sure that the list is complete. Just make it easy to add new names in as they are remembered or discovered. We do not have the luxury of making sure the list is perfect before publishing. The Left is moving far too rapidly and aggressively to take our time on this.

I also made a list and posted things we can do (suggestions) to take steps to start.
Until there’s a “resources section”, it’s good to look at posts.
People have posted about alternative browsers and app’s for phones.
Michael Plz has lots of info. and is working on a secure comm method for us.

I posted links to websites that

  1. listed companies that contributed to the Dem election of Biden
  2. A list of “woke” companies.

We need to have a place to put the resources. Otherwise every time someone new comes on they don’t see what everyone has been sharing as far a resources.

I agree but am seriously confused and need guidance.
One:
A few podcasts ago Bill forswore all violent resistance; today he lauded the Second Amendment as our national life insurance policy; I agree.
However how are these two thoughts reconciled? I have read enough history to understand that revolutions rarely turn out as their instigators expected.
Two:
Silence and acquiescence is national suicide. Who/where are our national leaders who are supporting us? Working at the grass roots level to elect good people in the next election cycle is a nice idea but by then the damage done will be irreparable.
Three:
Other than speaking up what other non-violent actions can a citizen take?
I’d really appreciate a podcast trying to answer these points.

Defending yourself usually does not count as “violence” even if you shoot the attacker.
I don’t recall what Bill said on “violent resistance”, I guess if it was on topic should be the obvious not to go out looting and rioting on bystanders. That remains the case. Standing against the oppressors is a different matter.
The damage will be substantial in any case. Van you show a way to avoid that? I guess you have ears of millions.

Has your local county sheriff declared that he or she will not enforce unconstitutional diktats? Has your local county board voted to become a Second Amendment Sanctuary? If you don’t live in a hopelessly braindead blue county, meet with them – respectfully, but doggedly. Ask the Sheriff is he or she is prepared to stand armed against any unconstitutional seizure, should the feds move in to confiscate his/her constituents’ firearms. Our sheriff’s are our best hope. Our local county boards are the most likely to be swayed by a dedicated small group.

Other than speaking up what other non-violent actions can a citizen take?

Dig your heels in and refuse to obey unconstitutional edicts from on high. Just refuse. Say “No”. Say it loudly.

Stop wearing a mask. Stop social distancing. Stop staying at home because you’re told to do so. Open your business. Encourage others to open their businesses. If the Oathbreakers come to shut you down, kick them off your property. If they give you a fine, have you and your family/friends all stand behind you as you film yourself shredding up the fine–then send it to the governor/mayor and spread it on social media. If they arrest you, make a massive scene. Band together and bail each other out and continue to stubbornly keep your businesses open.

None of that is violent or requires violence. It WILL require the government to show their hand and actually use force if they take their edicts seriously (if they don’t use force, then the Emperor has no clothes!). The government doesn’t want to do this, because they want the people frightened and passive, not frightened and angry. Once the government is required to use actual force, those passive frightened people can easily get flipped to angry frightened people. That anger instills the seeds of courage, and governments KNOW this. That’s why they keep trying to lull you to sleep even as they slide the knife between your ribs.

Bill, I have been trying to share your videos where I can. I would suggest joining Gab.com and MeWe.com both of which have seen a huge uptick since the Twitter purge. I think you will get a lot of support there.

I joined Gab early on and, frankly, it seemed to be a home for kooks. Awful look, as well. But then I checked again more recently; it is vastly improved. Probably a better API than Twitter’s now. And no doubt it still has the kooks, God bless them!

The kooks will blend in to the general populace soon enough. Millions are ditching Twitter for Gab right this moment.

While I agree with you, please know the czar won’t be coming to your house to collect them. He’ll send your local police. I back the blue, but you have to know they’re only human as well. It may not be up for debate, but it will be you against the police sent to collect. I’m not trying to spread fear here at all, only trying to inform who likely will come to collect.

I know this and have always known this, I am not willing to submit to anyone who is “just following orders”. I’ve accepted this. Anyone who intends to defend oneself is not operating by any delusions.

Any police officer that obeys such a grossly unconstitutional order is NOT a police officer in my eyes. They are at that point Oathbreakers and troglodytes unfit to wear the badge on their uniform.

Stop spreading the fear by getting rid of your mask if u can. Not only do they not help if you’re fairly young & healthy, but they dehumanize you. Even if you’re not young, my Mom’s 92 year old friend on dialysis just got over Covid. Lets quit the fear, get out and live!

Can you get a medical exemption where you are? Masks are not required at all where I live, but airports are Little Pyongyangs and I don’t want to have to wear one when travelling.

I think that medical exemptions are already part of the law, but the law is being ignored by both Karens and tyrants.

My primary objection to masks is, and always has been, that masks are dehumanizing. When we reopened our chapel after the initial lock down, I told everyone up front that I will not where a mask in church, and I haven’t, and I won’t.

Exactly. I was going to get something from an Apple store, but when the guy at the front handed me a mask I said “No thanks” and walked out.

I joined just now, before seeing your Home of the Brave episode and am doing all I can to help bring this country, this world out of the clutches of the darkness that thinks it has us beat. It does not, not now, not ever! Courage is one of this nation’s strong suits and we’re about to see it in spades. Thank you!

I recently joined. Followed you off and on for years, but this situation made me get off youtube and start thinking about individuals who could speak freely on their own platforms. I’m glad I cast my support here. “If you can’t spread the courage, then at least don’t spread the fear.” is exactly what I needed to hear right now, and I thank you for that!

All people know reasonable fear. Foresighted people weigh alternatives.
A dear friend was thrilled to gain entry to an excellent retirement home. Though it was expensive, she valued the peace of mind that its friendly, well-run facility afforded her more than the $11,000/mo it cost her, particularly as her age advanced and her faculties diminished.
Then came the Wuhan virus.
The state decreed that no longer would she be allowed to enjoy the necessities of life, the daily visits from her family that maintained her memory, or the physical therapy vital to keeping her ambulatory. Her deafness made phone contact nearly impossible. Her growing weakness confined her to a wheelchair. The inevitable fall cased a spiral fracture to her leg and a 38” incision from the surgical repair. The state condemned her to solitary confinement, isolated even from other residents of her facility.  
She cried to be “let out of jail,” and with her fading mental capacity, she could never comprehend why her loved ones had deserted her. Depressed and alone, she lost her will to live.
The end came slowly and painfully; her 97 year old skin rotted away from the inside out.
There are many things to fear.
There are many ways to die.
Unless we secure it and ensure it is returned to ethical hands, the state we fear today is the same state we’ll be forced to confront in our dotage.
Factor accordingly.

I had my Mother-in-law in what i thought was a wonderful facility. She was suffering from dementia, but still recognized us and could carry on a simple conversation. One day i picked her up and she had a 2″ gash on her leg from scratching that no one had noticed. I demanded they care for it, they said not without dr’s orders. I told them if they didn’t have them by 5 that afternoon i didn’t give a damn i was coming in to care for the wound. Miraculously they got dr approval. The next day we gave 30 day notice to remove her. We bought a mobile home, were lucky enuf to find a caregiver and were able to see her everyday. She went downhill quickly in Dec and passed on the 25th, but we were able to be there not like the institution when she kept asking why didn’t we visit. This is murdering our elders. I almost think better to chance the Covid than the loneliness.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and so proud of you for making the effort to liberate her. You’re right, the state is murdering our elders, and the lack of human contact imposes greater damage to their wellbeing than the potential risk from the virus.

Once we agreed to their offer of “free” or subsidized care from our governments, we stopped being citizens and became nothing but a red ink burden on their balance sheets. Our overlords’ shamefully generous public pensions and benefits don’t generate themselves. When we no longer produce enough to feed, house, and care for ourselves, in their eyes we are no more than livestock that has outlived its utility to sustain them. Every day it becomes more painfully evident; we’ve entrusted our lives to a bunch of sociopaths. Sure it’s frightening, but they’re actually doing us a favor to reveal who they are to the full depth of their depravity. As with any abusive relationship, appeasing doesn’t solve it only defers. We aging boomers are a demographic time bomb. To believe they will become more reasonable and will see us as less expendable as our dependence strains the system past its breaking point is delusional.

I have a 90 year old mother who, thank God is in great health. Her mother lived to 104 and lived on her own till the end when my Mom was with her and she simply passed one morning. I can only hope that for my Mom. As for me, with the state of affairs today, i don’t think i’ll die in bed.

I pray that your mother will remain healthy and independent, rejoice for your grandmother’s beautiful deliverance, and am increasingly leery about what awaits us. What gives me some comfort is knowing I’m past the age where I worry way less about dying too soon and far more about living too long.

I worry so about my daughter and grandkids. What kind of a world are we creating/leaving for them. I try to teach them about our history and our wonderful country, but then when they go to school, I don’t know what overtakes that. They’ve moved way up to Montana & I live in S. AZ, so its tough. Thanks for any and all prayers about my Mom, she is a joy. She travels with me about where ever I go and has never met a stranger. If more people were like her, we wouldn’t have any problems in this world.

Yeah, if humanity is still a round 200 years into the future the covid lockdowns will be viewed as atrocity similar to gas chambers. And at the least point out that those measures lead to loss of way more life than the virus itself ever had potential.
But on the bright side… uh I can’t see any at this point.

A slow torture is incontrovertible evidence of thoroughly evil minds.

There is a bright side, the brightest one. If we were ever in doubt about the folly of putting our faith in man and not our Creator, pretty sure that recent history has totally cleared that up. : )

What an awful tale. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I’m grateful every day that Dad – in all his obstinance – refused to consider assisted living after Mom died. At 98, he’s in his own home, with a steadily increasing number of hours of care, but at home.

It sure is. Thank you so much. I pray that your dad stays healthy enough not to require the institutional care that is sometimes unavoidable. I pray you will be able to enjoy the many hours of conversation and companionship together that keep us happy, mentally sharp, and possessing that sense of being valued that makes live worth living. God bless you both.

God is in control! Not Trump, not Biden. Trump was playing all the cards he had and someone played a card that few anticipated.
The doors of congress opened to the crowd while a few meters away someone broke in though a window and was not stopped. Only pepper spray was fearfully sprayed in his direction. We have capital security member on charges for posing for selfies with people in the building. We have a suicide of a capital security member that was somehow involved. The death of the female veteran looks suspicious. She may have been trying to stop others breaking the rules. It may have been “friendly fire”.
Now the question is will Biden or Harris make an unlawful command that is clear to all including ‘moderate’ Democrats? What are the rules if the president does that? What are the military law rules if the command goes to/ through ranking officers? Trump has carefully avoided that trap.
Impeachment for Trump is just another stage where he may present his two cases: The election was stolen and the attack on congress included false flag tactics and actors. He need only convince a few. It will be televised.
Remember some politicians are there to protect their own special interests or for pork barrel politics. It’s very hard to do pork barrel when the pork barrel is on fire.
I’ve been wrong before. Its clear that Trump was playing 5D chess and the left has found a communist chess master. Remember in this Chess game Trump is not the King he is only the Rook, the nation & patriotism are the king and queen.

After all the media blockage and silencing, do you really think Trump will get a fair trial or that it will be televised? Only if there is an “unauthorized” camera in the audience.
We will need a different platform to get the truth out. Are there any platforms that we can turn to? Please let me know. I’m not particularly tech savvy.

The only thing I can say for sure is “they” said “any means necessary”. They don’t care about laws, Constitution, etc. This is evident.
We can assume that ALL the politicians are anti-American (except maybe a handful). They did nothing to stop this illegitimate takeover.

I love your show Bill. I have been following you since 2015. But I am finding it hard to follow your content now that I decided to severely reduce my traffic on YouTube.
It would be great if you had your content available CONSISTENTLY on other platforms. You are on Rumble, but why is this video not there yet? And why your own site links only to YT?
If there is an issue with Rumble, that’s ok. But if not, why Rumble is not front and center? Or BitChute? I am not even saying your should leave YT.
Is there a place I can consume the shows directly from this site? I am a member.

Agreed. I would much prefer being redirected to Rumble or some other platform. Since I’m in the process of removing myself completely from google, youtube may not be a viable option moving forward.

It may be a case of the website platform not playing well with Rumble–I’ve encountered that on other blogging sites when attempting to embed non-YouTube videos. Which is one reason everyone’s still on YT….

I love blocking ads on YouTube. That’s a few more cents Google doesn’t get to have.

There is a scene in the animated film “Madagascar” where the penguins hijacked the freighter and take it “home” to Antarctica.They get there in the fog and snow. They look around and the boss says “Well, this sucks“… That’s the difference between “us” and “them”. We are ALL African-American. All humans developed in Africa. However, some of those people looked around and said “Well, this sucks“, picked up a sack and headed over the hills into the unknown. They LEFT Africa, then they LEFT Europe.They crossed the Allegheny mountains, went over the Cumberland gap and across the prairies, across more mountains and to the sea..Finally they left Earth and headed into space. Based on that, is it any surprise that Americans left those foot prints on the moon? Bravery is in our DNA. We are now surrounded by the offspring of the timid homebodies who, once the land was pacified, figured they’d come, settle in and want things just so. Any wonder we are not getting along?

I would like to believe that sometime in the future, there will be – maybe not Americans – but perhaps someone descended from Americans – who will take one last long look at the view behind them on the main screen of the bridge of their space cruiser before they give the command for the jump to hyperspace and leave our solar system behind for the last time, headed for new lands, and sneeringly say to the homebodies mucking about serving the state locked down on the homeworld far behind:
“Dance all you want on your small world. We have all of SPACE as our sea!”

If there’s one thing that gives me serious hope and brightness in this world, it’s everything Elon Musk is doing to get our asses into space for real.

Yes, absolutely correct – backing down to bullies begets more and better bullying, but a little creative deception/mis-direction in the right places may be smart. Betting there’s some students of Machiavelli among us and Sun Tsu aficionados, too. Negative-Nelly-ism undermines confidence and motivation, but pragmatic assessment is necessary. Find the balance.
Right is might!

Yeah, bullies get ALL their power from people submitting. It should be announced loudly that whoever does that is supporting, so becomes the bully themselves.

It should be noted that the word ISLAM means “Submission”.
And the only phrase in Arabic that I consider worth knowing is –
“Lan Asteslam”
Which translates to “I will not submit.”

It’s imperative to maintain courage no matter how bad things might look. Even as we speak, you’ve got sites like BREITBART that have bent a knee to the Big Tech devil and are actively censoring their comment sections. It is amazing how many of the outlets that claimed to be fighting for us for so long are now actively taking turns as Big Tech stomps on our backs and kicks us in the teeth. This battle will be won one way or another, but when we do win, it is important for us to remember who stabbed us in the back when the chips were down. This doesn’t just apply to “conservative outlets”, but so-called Republican politicians. When they inevitable come crawling to us and begging for our support, much like Jesus says in Matthew 7:31, it is imperative that we say “I never knew you.”

Rorschach’s Journal: “This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.”

Get in touch, if they’re not working, kick them in the butt and get them started. Be the leader. Its amazing how sometimes it just takes that one person to point out the Emperor has no clothes and all the others will come along.

Contacting doesn’t hut in any case, if GOP is a lost cause (in its current form it definitely is), it still has plenty of good and useful people who look for improvements regardless the labels.

I would check out the local GOP – but not bother with the national organization in any form. Local is better. You need to have friends and colleagues nearby and at the very least the local GOP is a decent start. It is at the very least a good recruitment tool for the inevitable new party we’ll need to create when we dump the national GOP Republicans for good. I think Bill Whittle has it right – we need to start from the ground up. Run for freaking dog-catcher if that’s all that’s available.

All I get from my “rep’s” in D.C. are form letter responses. I did get a “survey” in response once. Didn’t have any of the current issue on it. Never heard anything from it.
Yours may be different.
I would start at the local level also. May actually listen or respond.

If you think about it, the ones who left hearth and home behind and braved the elements and their own fears are our ancestors. Not just the Pilgrims and Puritans but all the many ethnicities, religions, skin tones, languages, cuisines, apparel, entertainment, customs, etc. down through the years. The timid or lazy or small-minded or unimaginative stayed where they were, with what they were used to abiding, the status quo. And apparently we have done such a good job of developing resources and inventing conveniences that we too have become inattentive and lethargic. Rise up, my brothers and sisters and take back your inheritance.

I think Bill himself has noted that California is as bad as it is precisely because the weather there is TOO GOOD. It really is a beautiful land. I lived there myself a handful of years. But Californians are SOFT. They are WEAK because they don’t HAVE to struggle for survival.
Speaking as a native son of Texas, we have some of that same problem here. BUT – Texas is a fickle land. And the weather can get VERY extreme here. I always joke that “we have two seasons here in Texas – freeze and BURN.” And that – “in the winter time there’s nothing between us and the wind of the North Pole but a stretch of barbed wire somewhere in Kansas!”
And then there’s the Tornados of course.
Texans I believe – at least in the country – will NEVER be as soft as Californians. And that helps.
But talk to someone from South Dakota or Montana sometime. Yeah – I’ll readily admit, Texans do NOT handle cold extremes nearly as well as those folk. And you’ll note that South Dakota has NO Covid restrictions.
I’m very tempted to move THERE despite the extremes. I might freeze my ass off in the Winter 6 months out of the year, but at least I wouldn’t have to wear a damn FACE DIAPER.
And we haven’t even talked about how tough Alaskans are. Especially the ones who live in places that need bush pilots to get to.
Yeah – I don’t think soft liberal types fare well up there. Heh. 🙂

I didn’t know you wanted 1000 new members when I joined. But I’m definitely glad to be in the company of independent thinkers and helping the cause.

I’m already a member, but I’ll send in another donation. I agree that the emperor is as naked as the day he was born. You’re absolutely right. I’m scared, but I also purchased over 250 rounds of ammunition last year. I’m an American.

I made the same Reichstag comparison to a friend this past weekend. The comparison is a valid one, and each day brings more examples… Democrat politicians demanding that Republican politicians “step down” or else they will be forced out is just another example. The comparison is so clear and true that it should be easily recognized by anyone who knows their history. Unfortunately, few Americans nowadays are taught much about history and thus the comparison is lost on them.
