It is 11:59, and a train hurtles down the track, picking up speed. She is full of sleeping passengers and cargo, but the Engineer is dead, or suicidal, or maybe psychotic. A distant rumble marks the destruction of an upcoming bridge, waking some of the passengers, who begin to notice what is happening. How do you stop a speeding train, out of control? You already tried the emergency cable. The porter appears and tells you not to cause trouble, everything is fine, but he is an idiot.
You’ve got to disable the train, or else run it off the track. Maybe you could uncouple the cars somehow, or even climb up on the roof and try to reach the locomotive. Alternatively, you could jump off and let it crash. Some passengers are insisting a team of commandos will parachute onto the locomotive and slow it down safely, but waiting on that possibility would be crazy. Even if you wake everyone, chances are 97% of them will just pretend it is not happening. Time is running out, what will you do?

I recently wrote why America needs a Convention of States. Some may disagree, or confuse it with a Constitutional Convention. As most Readers already know, the Apparatchiks hope some of you will snap and go all Concord Green on the Occupation Government, so they can prove freedom lovers are threats to peace. The January 6 response was engineered precisely for this purpose. In other words, there is an ongoing operation to convince the 3% to stand down, and it is working so far.
Who can count the number of patriot personalities echoing such sentiments as, “oh there is no need to make ourselves targets, just wait for (an imaginary) solution”. “Oh, we don’t need bloodshed,” as if it is never an option, under any circumstances. That PsyopTM was already going when I first noticed it in 2017, but it is older than that. According to armchair influencers, there is never a right time to get out the weapons. Never a time for citizen arrests, or guerilla warfare along the border, or targeting of drone cams. That is how it works. Extreme restraint is a good thing, but self-censoring the will to fight back is something else.
Apparently, civil society has only two approved ways you can act out: by saying your piece, and by voting. The first one puts you on a fast-track to be cancelled or targeted, and the second one is being infringed by the same people registering illegals to vote. The Europeans blockade their roads with tractors. Even the Canadians had their Freedom Convoy. Our own beltway convoy around D.C. didn’t change much about CovidTM, but the masses of people it mobilized was sure a good thing.
With the Occupation Government controlling the audio and the video, and surveilling virtually the entire populace, they are playing whack-a-mole on anyone who sticks their heads up. Since that is the way this game is played, it is crucial to become the sand in the gears, and to overwhelm them with numbers. I wish the convoy could have shut down the entire Beltway like a siege. We need more dissidents willing to speak up and act out, and become as disruptive as possible.
Some folks have the ability to say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done. No fanfare, usually with heaps of scorn afterward. A recent piece by Jim Quinn poses the question “What would Josey Wales do?” Well, I think he would pull down some 5G antennas with his 4x4, or round up a truckload of Chinese border-jumpers and haul them in to the Sherriff. He would walk into the School Board meeting with a bullhorn and take the mic away from the ‘trans spokesperson.’ He would blow up the Georgia Guidestones unannounced, without harming a soul, and then keep quiet about it.
There are some Josey Wales’ among us. Listen closely to what men like John McAfee or Donald Trump had been warning all along, then realize that it has come true. Poke fun at Alex Jones -- COINTELPRO? -- but notice such men were not only the vanguard, they risked their lives and fortunes as if it were 1776. Men who say it like it is, men who give life with their Words of Iron.
These are the qualities that made Trump the best President in our history IMO, despite his shortcomings. I won’t shoot you Hopium, friends, because in this fake Government, a second-term Trump would only be tapping the brakes on the train. They will mire him down the day after he wins the election with new investigations and accusations.
But Trump could lead a new Government, as its first-term President.
America 2.0
Does anyone dare think such thoughts, or is it just me? It has taken me a long time to get over the hurt and lost nostalgia of watching America slowly succumb to cancer, Readers. What has happened to our country has been unforgiveable, made worse by the inability to ever unravel it all. I jumped off the speeding train in 2016 and moved abroad, partly as a way to have a Plan B in my back pocket. But CovidTM proved beyond doubt that the struggle against oppression is global, and all of the world watches America to see what will happen.
Do I even have the right to suggest what America should do next, being so far from ground zero? It seems the events of the last eight years have created two types of people: Those who are betting everything on a secret good-guy commando op to save the Republic, and those who are just whistling past the graveyard pretending we are not terminally ill. But neither of these is a real solution. Couldn’t we accept a new country built on the foundations of the old? Or regional nation-states that kept their local characteristics? I could, in a heartbeat.
These are the kinds of outcomes that we need to strategize about, not mere hope of an America long passed. State secession movements, Convention of States to force new amendments, they are painful; but not as painful as all-out war. Certainly not as harmful as living in a 24/7 security state. If voting extra hard in November is going to make us feel good and show the Deep State that this time we are serious, then I hope we see a colossally massive turnout. But I don’t expect a Trumpian golden age with the Occupation Government that we currently have.
Here is your irony for the day: It was in 2020 that so many were predicting that Big Mike Michelle Obama would take Joe’s place at the last minute. The Dems could not possibly be victorious against Trump with a senile candidate, hiding in the basement. Now four years later, they are actively saying he is senile and discussing switching him out with Michelle O, among others. How many other topics from 2020 will we see come back to the forefront? Maybe it is time to consult the Q clock ...
In closing, a favorite line from a favorite movie, The Sound of Music. It is a quick encounter between Captain Von Trapp and his friend Max Detweiler, who is trying to convince him to just get along with the Nazis:
“but Georg, this is for Austria..”
“For Austria? There is no Austria!”
“But the Anschluss happened peacefully. Let’s at least be grateful for that...”
“Grateful?! You know Max,.... sometimes I don’t believe I know you.”
Don’t let this Anschluss happen peacefully, Readers. Imagine your country with Michelle O. in charge, and his/her husband running the UN, or with this Occupation Government remaining in power after Trump. Imagine trying to put America back on course later rather than now, and trying to explain that to the grandkids. I don’t know why no one is discussing how to fix these problems at the root, rather than kick the can farther down the track. Be disruptive. Call for a Convention of States, and progress it from there. Get yourselves ready in case it all goes haywire.
Friends, I hope and yes actually pray that God withholds his judgment a while longer. On America, on the world. At 56, I feel like there is still so much undone. I hope you find salvation in Christ, while there is still time. I hope you discover that walking with him every day brings an indescribable peace and clarity. Why walk alone, or try to find your way in the dark? Up ahead of this speeding train somewhere, the bridge is out.
What will you do?
Peace be upon you in Christ,

Unfortunately, at this point, violence seems the only way out. It's much too late for anything else. We can hang together or hang separately as they will not stop.
The measured revolutionary approach is common sense. https://oldschoolcounselor.substack.com/p/how-do-we-envision-building-a-new. I added a link to this excellent article.
