The American Revolutionary War, or our war for independence from the oppression of the British that officially began in 1775 and birthed our nation, was a most pivotal time in our nation’s history. Many men and women of average means and intelligence rose to become celebrated heroes and heroines.

They placed everything on the line, from their families to their businesses to take up the cause of freedom to form the greatest nation in the world. In doing so, they risked their own freedom as well as their very lives. We can learn much from these wise and brave people, and owe much to their courageous actions and sacrifices. While many American heroes were created by their acts of total selflessness and fighting on behalf of all citizens of the American colonies, there were others who chose to sit out the fight… or worse.

One of the most villainous names in U.S. history is that of Benedict Arnold. So reviled were his traitorous actions that his name has become synonymous with betrayal. Once an important and very effective leader in the American cause, he turned his allegiance to the British at a most critical time in our war for independence. Some historians speculate that his betrayal against his own country originated by his hurt feelings that he was betrayed himself. Some accounts suggest that he felt personally slighted and unappreciated for the sacrifices he made and the battles he fought and won, during which his leg was badly injured, forcing him to walk with a limp for the rest of his life. Many historians suggest that he sustained a much deeper wound—a fatal wound to his pride that led him to turn against the noble fight for the freedoms and liberties for all Americans.

Today in America, there are an increasing number of men and women who see the ominous parallels between the pre-Revolutionary War days and the present day. Instead of an overt foreign enemy, we are facing a more insidious threat spoken of by not only some of the heroes of the Revolutionary War, but warned of by Communist insiders and defectors: the threat from within.

Only those buried deep in denial or their own normalcy bias refuse to see the increasing oppression against the citizens of America by their own government. Only those who are completely clueless or complicit cannot see or vociferously deny that the clouds on the horizon are not storm clouds, but the dust clouds of an approaching enemy selected and elected to retake our freedoms. Only those who have been effectively brainwashed believe that those currently in power reflect the true will of the people. History, it appears, is about to repeat itself as the overreach and aggression of an out-of-control government is ramping up their attacks against our God given freedoms and rights as enumerated in our Constitution.

Today, we are in the midst of a propaganda war where the contemporaries of our pre-Revolutionary history, the true American patriots who hold the principles upon which this nation was founded near and dear, have been openly identified as enemies of the leaders of our nation. There is no ambiguity in the statements or intent of those leading our country. There is only their resolve, where they are unified in their objectives to subjugate us to their royal ambitions at the expense of our rights and freedoms.

We, as the contemporaries of our forefathers, are now the domestic terrorists. We have been declared the enemy, in speech and in writing, and there is a willing army forming at their hands to create two classes of people, those who are in power and those who are their subjects. Again, there is no ambiguity in their words and deeds.

If you do not—or choose not to— understand and call out the traitorous and seditious actions of those in power and their complicit media lapdogs, along with their resolve to use everything in their arsenal to marginalize and vilify the outspoken patriots who are fighting to stop further oppression while regaining lost ground, then you deserve what’s coming as that’s exactly what you’ve earned.

Just as no ambiguity exists in the statements made about and against true American patriots by our current oppressors, there must be no ambiguity or lack of resolve on our part. There cannot exist any gray area or middle ground, for it is just such compromise that has contributed to our current state of affairs. We must fight this propaganda war head on, and call out those who have betrayed us and are betraying us for reasons that range from complicity to pride, from promises of seats at their table to the assurances that they will live life unscathed by royal mandate. Whatever the reason, whatever the cause, there exist those who have turned against the greater objective of restoring and maintaining our freedoms by attacking those who are staying the course.

It is time that we must publicly choose the side for which we stand, be it for freedom as it was intended, or to be subjugated to the will of an elite ruling class who will decide what Constitutional rights we may retain that were won by the sweat and blood of our forefathers, for they are watching.

It is time that we must publicly question the motives of those once described as patriots in this fight for freedom and the future of our country, much like Benedict Arnold.

Recently, the American ruling class sent their foot soldiers to a small Nevada community named Bunkerville. It was there that the globalists dispatched a heavily armed contingent of federal agents and their mercenary supporters to face down a small group of patriots unwilling to be bystanders in an overt and aggressive overreach of power and control. The corporate media intentionally and with malice, mis-portrayed the intent of both sides and efficiently convoluted the true issues behind the stand-off. War and propaganda, however, are rarely simple in their public portrayal. When one side loses, however temporary the loss, they must exploit public opinion and perception to their favor. And that is exactly what is taking place today.

Although we know that the federal government will indeed return to Bunkerville, it will likely be with the orchestrated support of many Americans who have, or will have, fallen victim to the tactics of the enemies of freedom. Many have already acquiesced to the false narrative that demonizes not just Cliven Bundy, but those who actively support him in deeds and words. Despite their perceived intellectual prowess, they have either fallen for the lie, or worse, have already chosen their side.

It is with this spirit that I felt heartfelt sadness as I read and heard the words of self-proclaimed patriots and lovers of freedom such as Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media and Glenn Beck who, in this author’s opinion only, seem to be fueling the propaganda war by attacking those who are putting it all on the line for what is right and proper.

It is with great concern for every freedom loving patriot that I find myself questioning the true motives behind their Alinsky-style tactics of diverting the issue and marginalizing those who refuse to compromise our rights and freedoms that appear to be employed in this covert propaganda war. It is their ad hominem attacks against other fellow patriots, and their attempts to deceptively mischaracterize these messengers of freedom. Their shameful tactics are as transparent as those of the captured media speaking on behalf of the oppressors.

Will future historians write about Beck, Kincaid and others who appear to be turning against the very objectives they proclaim to promote much like what has been written about Benedict Arnold? Amid the white noise of diversion and orchestrated attempts to divide and conquer, I believe we must choose a side, right here and right now. We must choose the side of truth and righteousness, and shun those who want us to devolve into divisiveness and mire us in attacking our fellow patriots.

As we near an event, or events not of our choosing that will likely forever change the course of American history and the future of our families, our children and all future generations, the side we ultimately support will forever be recorded in the annals of history. It will determine whether our ancestors will visit our graves with deserved admiration or equally earned contempt.

It’s time to choose our side, not just for this battle, this war against our freedoms and the future of our country, but for the sake of the future generations. It is up to you whether your ancestors will walk across your gave without reverence to that of another who had the will, the courage, and the integrity to stand up for truth and the preservation of the rights bestowed upon us by Almighty God.

Choose now, or accept the future you have so rightly earned and deserved.

Either choose a side, or be chosen by a side - or be run over by all the sides.

There can be no middle ground in what is coming... want a preview? Watch this video from a 1960s Special Forces training exercise.

Well, the way I look at it is, you are either on one side or the other, unless you are still asleep. Many American are still asleep, not sure what is going to wake them up.

It is the responsibility of everyone that is awake, to wake their own family and friends up. I started 6 years ago. Some are awake and other chose not to thinks about it. That is their chose, but someday they will have to chose one side or the other.

All I can say is, choose carefully, wisely and most of all, quietly. And stay away from crowds ... there are a LOT of lessons to be learned from the events at the Bundy Ranch, and the perils of choosing sides poorly is one of the big ones.

On the one hand, read this:

The Bundy Paradox

On the other hand, if you are unaware of the infighting among the FreeFor gathered at Bunkerville, read the following:

Then, read http://co-ironwill.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-other-side-of-coin-oath-keepers.html

Might as well see http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2014/05/there-is-no-teacher-but-enemy-bundy.html while you're at it.

And look into other reports of dissention among "the ranks" not to mention agents provocaterurs etc. on site.

As I said - choose wisely and carefully...

Good stuff Doz.

With all of the electronic devices in the world and individual lives, it presents a logarithmically heightened level of instant ramifications.

This past week someone who I have known for decades stole tools out of my tool box while my back literally turned.

Lists....

I don't know if everyone who went to public school had the experience of sharing a good chunk of your fun filled mandatory schooling with the weird kid who kept lists of everyone who had ever done anything he didn't approve of. I couldn't have been the only one.

As a kid, I thought that the list keeper was pitiful and slightly amusing.

As an adult, people who make and keep lists scare the ever loving shit out of me.

The truth of having a list is that on its own the list is just like a phonebook, it correlates one set of data with another set of data. However in the hands of an evil person a list becomes how they systematically victimize other people.

You want to know who keeps lists? Fascists and Communists (but I repeat myself) and the potentially violent and mentally unstable who can't properly regulate their inner anger.

In California, the list is automatically generated when people donate to a political cause. Obviously nothing wrong with having a list of donors, until someone takes that list and starts using it to "punish" the people on it.

The situation with Eich and Proposition 8 is distasteful, mainly because there are more names on the donor list, and there is a vocal segment of the LGBT community that is willing to use the list to punish people on it without any sort of "statute of limitation."

This example of Eich is just another example of how the NY SAFE Act and MA AWB are going to be misused. Once you are on a list, such as the "No Fly List" there seems to be no recourse.

A free and open society does not need lists. I would say that you can't have a free and open society while those lists exists to enable the would be tyrants.

Believe what you want with me, but there is only one possible side I dare be on. Or that I want to be on. And He insists on Psalm 91.

Not sure that's what he meant

Scripture absolutely allows us to become involved in worldly affairs.

Also, a lesson I picked up from the Soviets <only good thing they had to give> was that it was very wise to keep your inner circle as trusted as possible - often didn't even include children...

Be careful out there kiddies!

Without a doubt that is what He meant.

That's freaking awesome IF!!! He outed himself for the creep he is before TSHTF and you entrusted him with your life; I count that about as lucky as winning the lottery! Bummer about the tools, but in the long run, worth every penny for the knowledge you gained.

Jesus said 'You are with Me or against Me.' I choose His side. There are no Christian communists.
