On Illustrious Predecessors

Before the Antifa communists1 and assorted other members of the New World Order mob2 go any further in their campaign in this country to wipe out vestiges of our, or at least its, history, I think it helpful, perhaps, to publish a set of quotes from the Founding Fathers of this nation, that I have come across over a recent short period of time.  Posting here, in order to keep the record straight, about what sort of men they in fact were.  Besides (some of them) being men of their time in terms of such a socio-econo manifestation as slavery.  Regardless: Men of special perspicacity, in the founding of a nation on principles of liberty, and understanding history.  Who knows? Perhaps in ages hence, some enterprising historian type will dig into the ancient records of this time, printed and electronic, and come across this collection of sayings from the hearts and wisdom of such men.  And realize that they in their time have been misled.  By their masters. 

I really don’t think that that will be the outcome of humanity on this planet  But hear me out, nevertheless  It has good historical value, if nothing else.3

So.  From the top: George Washington:4

“If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”

“Truth will ultimately prevail, where there is pains taken to bring it to light.”

“A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

“Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government…If we are to be told by a foreign power what we shall do, and what we shall not do, we have independence yet to seek, and have contended hitherto for very little.”  [You supporters of the UN coming into this country and dictating to Americans what they do in such regards: Take special note.]

“There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily.”

And on that sobering note, to move on.  to:

Thomas Jefferson:

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”

‘If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

“You seem…to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”

“The Constitution, on this hypothesis [i.e., that the judicial branch is somehow superior to the others], is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist, and shape into any form they please.”

“It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers…”

“Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

“The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.”

“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive…I like a little rebellion now and then.  It is like a storm in the atmosphere.”

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

"When government fears the people, there is liberty  When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”

“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

“When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated.”

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

And, of course, perhaps his most famous quote of all:

“In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

And let me wrap up this particular rendition of quotes from this nation’s Founding Fathers with some from the man well identified as the Father of said Constitution, James Madison:

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: and a people who mean to be their own governors must serve themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one.”

“The ultimate authority resides in the people…(T)he advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition.”

There’s more, from such other American historical luminaries as John and Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine.  But let this selection do for now.  To convince you, of the importance of the history of this nation.  To ourselves.  And to the world, as a bulwark against tyranny.

Or not.

Your choice.


P.S. And all of this, as opposed to the sayings of, say, Mao Tse Tung.  Among which is the sobering observation:
     "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.   Our principle is that the [Communist] Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party."
     Nice try, Barry.  But never let it be said that you didn't give it your best shot.  As it were.

1 The flag and logo of the Antifa group is a precise, simply reversed replica of the flag of the Communist Party in 1932 Germany.  Whose similar antics in that country led to the rise of Hitler.  And thus, why the current lot of subversives in this country make much of trying to attribute to Pres. Trump the image of being a Hitler.  He is, indeed, their enemy.  In reaction to their attempted takeover of this country.  And all planned for, ahead of time.  Knowing what history teaches.  And trying to put an end to our history, as a nation; as part of their takeover agenda.  And thus, why I am posting this particular blog.

2 I note that others describe them as ‘globalists,’ but that sounds, to my ear, a little anodyne, even benign, or even beneficent; as though they were simply goodhearted custodians of our Mother Gaia.  They may well have some caring for the planet.  But they have no caring whatsoever for the people of the planet.  For, what they really are, in their heart of hearts, is jackbooted thugs, out to corral humanity into their global surveillance state, with no compunctions to torture or outright kill if it serves their purpose.  

   By Any Means Necessary’ being their motto.  Necessary, to rule the planet with an iron fist.   

3 And oh, by the way: All these statues and monuments that the ‘globalists’, ahem, are tearing down or defacing?  They will all be put back up.  At the vandals’s expense.  After they are out of jail, and ‘earning their keep’.  In a free society. 

   The sort of society that they would think to tear down, deface, and rule over, with an iron fist.  ‘The mob’ ruling the day.

   Hey.  ‘Globalist.’  Psst.

   Not in my country, you won’t.

4 ‘The Father of his Country..’  You may have heard of him?  There is no guarantee of that sort of thing, intros day and age.  When the communists, and assorted other members often NWO mob have taken over in the educational institutions in the country, and slanted our children’s education into an alignment with their best-laid plans, of takeover.  So that ’education’ has become ‘indoctrination’ in this country.  

   By and large.  There are exceptions. Such as Hillsdale College.  Which has escaped the wrecking ball of the history defacers, by being true to the founding principles of this nation.  Such as liberty, and free enterprise, and self-governance as opposed to a monolithic state, and virtue.  And so forth.

   Or not.  As the culture-wreckers amongst us would have it…
