Our founders held a deep reverence for the principles of liberty and privacy, recognizing them as the bedrock upon which a free and just society must be built. They understood that these rights were fundamental to the growth of the human spirit and a prosperous, thriving society. They knew that the protection of these sacred rights could not be entrusted solely to a government or an external authority, and that even the checks and balances instituted within their documents would not be enough to prevent abuse. Instead, they believed that it was the duty of every citizen to actively participate in the defense of liberty and privacy against any threat of tyranny; a bond among the people to be each other’s keepers.
The commitment to individual responsibility was rooted in the understanding of the nature of power and its tendency to corrupt, supported by centuries of recorded history of those in power abusing or enslaving their subjects. They understood that even the most well-intentioned government, if left unchecked, could devolve into despotism, gradually eroding the very freedoms it was meant to protect. This is why they designed a system of limited government to prevent the concentration of power in any one branch, individual, or, in the case of America in 2024, a superseding, unconstitutional private-public partnership controlling the government. It’s this illicit fourth branch that wants to shift us into an oligarch-dominated, global-governance tyranny in order to consolidate all wealth, resources, and information, while ending the proud history and sovereignty of nation-states that do not fit into their goals.
Most Americans still believe that liberty and privacy are not rights bestowed upon us by some government, but inalienable rights of being free people in a free country. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are backstops in cases where either the people or the nation is threatened to be usurped. Yet where we stand right now, with nearly every institution of the federal government on board with throwing the entire history of our nation into the dustbin for the “fundamental transformation” that Obama explicitly promised and continues to actively work toward, we are closer than ever to falling into a totalitarian-leaning, one-party control system and a totally different, unrecognizable America.
The shocking vote to expand the unconstitutional Big Brother surveillance state (the warrantless 702 is the tip of the iceberg in how fully encompassing the mass surveillance of citizens has grown) spawned from the very unpatriotic Patriot Act was further evidence that a captured uniparty is no longer representing the best interests of the people of this nation, nor our constitutional rights. The initial Patriot Act was hoisted upon a devastated public after 9/11 without much pushback or focus on its vast, vaguely defined new surveillance programs. Once Obama and Holder entered the picture, they openly turned the original infringements on our privacy into a full-blown weaponized system, focused on targeting political opposition (so-called “domestic extremists”) and everyday traditional Americans who did not support their fundamentally transformed, UnAmerica America. Not to be outdone, the current regime under Obiden (who was one of the original writers of the Patriot Act well before 9/11) has tripled-down on the unconstitutional overreach and expanded its surveillance cooperation to include foreign spying agencies and multiple globalist NGOs. The situation is rapidly aligning with the goals of Agenda 2030, and, if We the People do not fully understand this is the end goal, before we know it we will be trapped in a surveillance state. We may never be able to escape that.
We live in an age of unprecedented technological surveillance and control. Our personal data is constantly being collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations and governments alike, often without our knowledge or consent. The very notions of privacy and individualism are under siege, as the boundary between public life and private life becomes increasingly blurred, with hostility.
These threats are real and they’re here, right now. So it is more important than ever for us as individual citizens to take an active role in the protection of all that we hold dear. This means educating ourselves about the actual stakes we are facing, staying informed about the policies and practices of the government and the private sector, showing up in person wherever you can to participate actively, and fighting for positive change and course-correction through peaceful, productive means when necessary.
It also means, unfortunately, changing habits and using encryption and other privacy-enhancing technologies to safeguard our personal information and communications. It means tamping down what you put online when using Big Tech platforms, most of which liaise with or are at least supportive of the fourth branch, the numerous globalist think-tanks, U.N. tentacle agencies, or the current regime’s expansive administrative agencies. Their intrusive violations of our rights and freedoms will continue until the safeguards undergo desperately needed reforms. And, it means supporting organizations and initiatives that fight for freedom, starting or joining local action groups to dismantle the creeping Agenda 2030 goals, and holding our elected officials accountable when they ignore or fail to uphold their oath to preserve the Constitution.
As our founding fathers knew, the defense of liberty and privacy requires a willingness to speak out and take a stand, even in the face of adversity or opposition. Together, our individual voices and actions, raised in defense of freedom, will be the most powerful force for positive change. Each of us must see ourselves as a beacon of liberty, inspiring others through our words and actions to stand against the threats we face – by those we have elected and, even more, those we have not.
As we face the technocratic totalitarianism ahead, we need to reject any manufactured division and understand that the end of freedom is the true threat to everyone, regardless of perceived differences. Each of us must become the guardians of liberty and privacy that we all believe we deserve. We decide our future, not unelected bureaucrats or greedy financial interests looming above the government. Stand up from the inside, fearlessly speak out against tyranny, and wield the greatest weapon we have of all – the truth! God has our back, the nation is grounded in the spirit of freedom, and it is up to us to defend it now and forevermore. Onward!
