On this Memorial Day we have something we haven’t had in some time.
Hope.
Even still, we have so many people are out there hurting. Struggling just to make it through the day. Going to bed every night hungry, or exhausted, or anxious. We all have problems. No one is free to walk this earth without problems. They are unavoidable. No matter what you do, they will still come.
Health problems. Financial problems. Personal problems. It never ends, but that is life.
We are not meant to live like this. We are not meant to trade away endless waking hours just to live. Just to be able to buy food or heat the house. We are not meant to live in a constant state of anxiety. Worried about things like car payments and mortgages while our lives pass us by.
Memories don’t get made. Family bonds weaken. A more machine-like attitude pushes out our humanity. Erased.
It isn’t what we are given, it is how we cope.
Hope.
America needs Christians to push the message of hope, love, and grace.
America needs patriots to push the truth and wake people up.
And they are. It is exciting to watch.
God is causing even the tactics used by the left to wake people up to the tyranny hiding in plain sight. Everything they do is backfiring. They are exposing themselves in more effective ways than we ever could.
Hope is beginning to grow again.
We cannot allow that hope to be snuffed out.
We must push forward but proceed cautiously.
We must be effective and efficient in the use of our time.
Wasting THE time or efforts of good patriots is a goal of the left. They would trap us in our echo chambers where no one hears the message except the preacher and the choir so to speak. When they are able to do that, they have muted our voices even though we still hear them. Like flipping stations on the T.V., no one stops on the channel with no sound, no matter how good the program looks.
Gatherings and events seem all well and good, but for what? To give speeches to the choir? To pat ourselves on the back while we have achieved almost nothing? To sell a brand?
Door prizes, food vouchers, and feel good conventions produce nothing relevant in the fight for freedom. They help build brands.
Echo chambers produce nothing. They only regurgitate.
We have a mission.
We must be constantly asking ourselves if what we are doing moves that mission forward, or if it moves our own. Even when the two align, personal ambitions must be considered secondary.
Fake runs deep in the patriot movement. It hurts to say that but it is true. I wish it wasn’t. It is easier to see from the other end of the camera. Similar to watching how a movie action scene is created in a studio with someone in a green suit. Behind the scenes you see how the sausage is made. However the intended audience sees the final polished product. They don’t see the green suit, it would screw up the story. The people see what they are allowed to see.
Special effects. Nothing more.
When will the special effects be stripped away?
Fact is, for some they never will be. It is too profitable.
The masks they wear are something they never take off. Eventually they become that character. For people watching it works, but for those who know them it only exposes their faulty character.
The George Soros of the regional patriotic movement throws seemingly endless money at people. They claim good intentioned reasons motivate this. However, be careful. If you step out of line, if you demand accountability, if you don’t do as they say, they will turn on you. Because they feel they purchased you.
I am not for sale.
It is similar to how some people buy congressional seats. They buy their way into the movement by spending. Throwing money at people and buying loyalty.
Purchased loyalty is not loyalty at all.
Patriots are a soft target because they tend to want to trust others. Opportunists need you to trust them. Character takes a back seat to image. It doesn’t matter how you carry yourself as long as it looks good on camera. For many this means clout over character.
I am no longer interested in a bunch of people getting together in an echo chamber. Patting each other on the back and telling each other what a great job they are doing to save America.
Nothing happens.
I’m sick of listening to speeches full of regurgitated patriotic slogans or embellished stories of hardship or heroism. Always ending in a request to follow them on social media.
Marching in place still looks like marching.
I started looking closer into The People’s Convoy when I saw that they were damaging the movement. All for the goals of a few people at the tops goals. I saw the faux patriotism and patriotism for profit that was going on.
What bothered me wasn’t that they were raking in donations. What bothered me was they knew what they were doing was not going to help anyone but themselves. Yet they framed it as if it was for the people. They didn’t only steal money away from real patriots across America, they stole peoples hope. TPC and other grifters knew the people of America were eager for someone or some organization to stand up. So they monetized it. Trading the trust of the people for a few dollars. Trust is a hard thing to get back.
I’m not better than anyone. Quite the contrary, but I can see the truth, and I will speak it. I spent far too much of my life ignoring the demons who tear our world apart.
Hope
For America to truly heal, we have to begin to love each other again.
For Americans to love each other again we have to be reunited under the same banner.
We have to unite as Americans and leave the wedges to fall away. Wedges that were purposefully pushed to divide us between every difference we have as people.
Elites created hate in order to control us.
Elites created the coliseum to pacify us.
We must realize we may be different, but we are more alike. We all want the same things. We all want good health. We all want to feel loved. We all want good schools, and safe neighborhoods.
We are Americans. We are on the same team. Our differences have been amplified and our similarities pushed into the shadows on purpose. The goal is to divide us.
There is hope. We are uniting. Americans are beginning to realize that we are America.
The demons are sitting on America’s chest stealing breath, but the people have started to reject breathing to death.
However, there is hope. Alarms have sounded and the people are waking. The wheels are in motion and they cannot be stopped.
There will be fire but America will emerge out the other side, not only unburned, but cleansed. Stronger than she has ever been because her people will be united again. It is the will of God, we only need have the faith to carry out His plans.
America is a God planted nation. We can be a God protected nation again. God did not create America only to let it go without a fight. Why are we so unwilling to take on that fight.
God needs warriors.
Weak warriors.
Broken warriors.
Faithful warriors.
We must fight for America. Once we show we are willing to fight for it, God will step in and do the fighting. He only needs to know that we are willing.
I love this country. I love it too much to waste time in a patriotic circle jerk with a cover charge. There is work to be done.
I will work with anyone that truly values good character.
In the past people have tried to buy my loyalty but it is not for sale. I am not for sale. My principles are more important to me than my wallet. My loyalty goes to those with good character.
Character matters.
