Why the Patriot Movement Just Isn't "Moving"

A lot is said about the “Patriot Movement” in the US, but the movement doesn’t really seem to be getting anywhere.

Don’t get me wrong - there are some very notable people out there doing great things. 

Consider the alternative journalists who are quite literally, risking their lives to share information with those of us who are interested enough to read it.

Keep in mind the whistleblowers who told the world the truth about the BP oil spill, 9/11, the birth records of our “fearless leader” and many other behind-the-scenes plots against health, freedom and justice.

There are the preppers, stocking up, arming up, and educating themselves, so that, at the very least, they are self-sufficient and ready to fight should they be called upon.

These are the REAL patriots.  But who are the rest of these folks that consider themselves part of the “Patriot Movement”?  They don’t really seem to be moving anywhere, except maybe to the fridge, to get another drink to keep them hydrated while they type feverishly on their keyboards.

The Laptop Rambos:  The liberty forums are full of Laptop Rambos, with their battle cries stolen directly from the last Bruce Willis movie.  They like to quote Heston, too, claiming their multitude of guns will only be pried from their “cold dead hands”.  But for all of their tough talk, what are they really doing?  Buying all the guns and ammo they can manage to have delivered from Amazon while they angrily type away about those who would take away their rights?  Daydreaming about dashing around the forest in combat boots when the last time they ran anywhere, it was to the bathroom after that ill-advised trip to Taco Bell?    Oh – yeah – the Rambos?  They’re all being “watched” which is the reason that they are unable to take any action outside of pounding into their keyboards, “Live Free or Die!!!”

The Noble Net Orators:  These are the ones that type half a page of flowery rhetoric on the afore-mentioned forums.  They lay claim to vast service to the country, vow eternal loyalty to their oath to defend the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic and they really, really like to quote the Constitution and the founding fathers during their rousing internet orations.  But are they actually organizing anything or do they just like to hear themselves talk….er, see themselves type?

The Patriot Preachers:  Another popular forum member is the Patriot Preacher.  He or she enjoys drawing parallels between current happenings and the Bible.  This person is pretty sure that whatever bad stuff is happening, it’s occurring because the US is a hedonistic cesspool.  Their posts are full of scriptural quotes, Revelationesque predictions and no real direction. They are happy to tell us why it is all our fault but stop short of any real recommendations or actions. 

The Flag-Wavers:  They are proud to be American, they know all the words to every song with the word “America” in it in any form and they abide by proper flag etiquette, carefully bringing in their flags at dark and during inclement weather.  They may criticize the president using a line that they heard on the TV news that they really liked, their closets are loaded with red-white-and-blue clothing, and their vehicle boasts flag stickers and decals on every flat surface.  You don’t think they are Patriots?  Look at them!  They have WAY more visible flags than their neighbors!  Just don’t expect a whole lot from the Flag-Wavers when it comes to a discussion of the real issues because they still watch the network news at 6.

How the heck are we supposed to have a revolution if these are the folks running it? 

I guess that we should feel fortunate, looking back in history, to discover that only 3% of the people fought against oppression in the American Revolution.  10% of the population actively supported that brave 3%.  This left 87% of the population at that time to either side with the British, remain neutral or be armchair patriots, much like our list above.

Being a Patriot doesn’t mean that you have to get a sniper rifle and start picking off the enemy.  It doesn’t mean that you must oust the scum from Congress (although that sure would be nice).  You don’t have to have a radio show or website that gets a million hits per day.

It does mean, though, that action is required beyond a “Booyah!” on the internet.  If you happen to recognize yourself in the list above, consider upping your personal Patriot game by taking one of the real actions below.

You can spread the truth about what is happening in our country and around the world.

You can refuse to comply to anything that is at cross-purposes with your God-given rights.

You can resist by knowing the Constitution and insisting that it be followed.

You can speak up when you see the rights of others being trampled on, and not be a bystander to bullying by the Regime.

Quiet acts of Patriotism speak more loudly than a hundred words uttered without action.

Random Acts of Resistance

How does the average person fight the New World Order that is rapidly taking over our government and our country?

It's not enough to continuously educate ourselves through alternative media news sites.  Commenting on patriotic forums is great -- I do it too -- but it's time for real world action.

It's time to bring our A-games and begin actively resisting.  Does this mean that we're all going to get rounded up and hauled off to FEMA camps for "re-education" or worse, to disappear into Guantanamo forever?

Not if we're smart. 

I propose a series of  "Random Acts of Resistance" to open the eyes of the masses and to stand firm against the oppression that threatens our liberty on a daily basis.


Refuse all debt.  If you don't have the money for something, don't indenture yourself to the banks to get it.
Close your bank account.  Do not do business with the Big Banks.  If you must have an account, deal with small local credit unions.

"In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility-I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will li...ght our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." - John F. Kennedy 1961

Who Will Fire the First Shot?

Yesterday, we had a little history lesson regarding the Battle of Lexington Green, the first battle of the First Revolutionary War.

Today, I want to talk about the present, where it seems that we are right on the cusp of the Second Revolution.

Take yourself back in time and imagine those early patriots, standing their ground on one side of the bridge against the British.  They were out-manned.  They were out-gunned.  They were not trained.  They were an assortment of farmers and merchants and tradesmen who had just been roused out of bed by the ringing of the church bells, and they were determined to keep the British from invading their settlement, taking their food and disarming them. 

Someone had the courage to fire that very first shot...."the shot heard 'round the world."  Historical accounts are not in agreement with which revolutionary soldier fired the shot....but someone had the courage to do it.  With lead and powder, that man said, "Enough."

Today, our liberties are vanishing at a mind-boggling speed.  There is a lot of hue and cry, but for so many years, we have been conditioned to obey, to follow the laws and to respect authority, that nobody has yet stood up to say, "Enough."

The problem that I see is a lack of leadership and organization in today's Patriot Movement.  Nobody wants to be responsible for firing the first shot in this war...and it is most assuredly war.

The government is plowing over the people like an armored tank over a dirt road, simply driving right over anything and anyone in their way.  They have hardly paused in their hostile takeover of our liberties because we have not yet banded together to stop them.  We have not fought back.

Everyone knows that the election in South Carolina was rigged.  Newt Gingrich had so few supporters there two days ago that he cancelled an appearance and suddenly he was the clear and marked winner?  Everyone knows that despite the fact the Congress has shelved the SOPA bill, they are still censoring the internet, with examples like forcing Google to remove Infowars from it's search engines and disabling commenting ability on some of the mainstream media sites.  Everyone knows that the media is complete owned by the government and special interest groups, thus feeding the people absolutely nothing but propaganda.

And yet, we sit, waiting for someone to fire the first shot.

What are we waiting for?

Are we waiting for the day the Internet goes dark?

Are we waiting for the next false flag event?

Are we waiting for martial law to be declared?

Are we waiting until government thugs show up to seize our guns?

The time is now.  We must fight for our rights before these things occur, because when the streets are lined with American soldiers on one side and ordinary citizens on the other, the loss of life will be tremendous.  The fear of those who have never had a gun aimed at them will be palpable, and the potential for many to bow to an unholy authority will be too great.

We must make as much noise as possible and refuse to tolerate the unconstitutional deeds that occur on a daily basis.  We must rouse our neighbours to stand beside us as we face off against those who would take our food, our families and our freedom.

Our first shot may not be one of lead and powder, but it needs to be fired.  If you are reading this, and you agree that the government is spiralling out of control, you ARE the resistance.
