Is this where it finally begins? How do we keep the momentum?

    I Live in Las Vegas, where mandatory masks were JUST not mandatory as of last thursday. (Free at alst, Free at alst, no more masks). Interestingly enough, standing in line at a casino buffet, I would say about 25% of the people STILL wore the masks. I went to Walmart Neighborhood Market, and the percentage wearing masks was at least 50%. Amazing to me. I am tempted to ask what exactly did wearing the precious masks for the last two years for the 900,000 people who died of covid?????

    If anyone knows anyone that is connected with the American Organization of this. Please tell them NOT to occupy DC proper. DC is NOT Ottawa. And it will turn into a Racially charged Shit Show spun and twisted by the MSM and government. There’s no way to win if that happens.
    Better off to just Go Galt and park their rigs in their driveways. Let the bare shelves speak for themselves.
    Or embargo the Big Liberal metros.

    Should the Canadian truckers that have been arrested be considered political prisoners?

    You got that right! But unfortunately, there are still too many stupid Liberals who see masks and mandates as a way to control the rest of us. They will never give it up. My Communist thinking cousin will probably wear a mask in her casket…just to have the last word.

    I like this article. I wish it was all fiction and we were just going to be left alone. Times like this I wish I was born 100+ years ago when man could freely roam the fuited plains of America....

    I'm a descendant of Ethan Allan. One of the big things that put him in the crosshairs of the Brits even way back then was vaccination. He vaccinated himself, reportedly, for small pox. The British that that was their job and went after him. The rest, as they say, is history. He kicked their pasty asses all over the east coast...

    Yes. Thank you for a perfect reading of this situation. The author of this piece has called it right. I wonder just how many who currently live in quiet desperation will become truckers in spirit, bringing their rising anger and hate for the elite to a boiling point.

    “The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

    It’s not about vaccines, it’s about government controls. People are fed up.

    Peikoff has chimed in with an interview with Amy on capitalism.org (capitalism magazine),


    Leonard Peikoff Salutes The Candian Freedom Truckers
    By Leonard Peikoff
    "I believe that totalitarianism in the form of some kind of national socialism is on its way. That the Democrats are pushing for it and the Republicans are impotent - they're not strong enough - they don't fight it the right way."

    It’s begun with people not wanting to go back to their jobs in general. It’s time to just get free money for a change!! Why put up with unruled customers, raging bosses, and corporate rules. Not to mention increasing taxes

    Great post! Thanks. Thinking of getting a T-Shirt printed:
    Need Don't Need
    Politicians - X
    Actors - X
    Farmers X
    Truckers X

    formatting doesn't work, but you get the idea...

    Preach it in the churches.

    Judgement starts at the pulpit or soapbox.

    Doesn’t matter if it’s a preacher or a bureaucrat…

    There has to a standard and if servants don’t want be lawful you.

    Must judge and punish to a standard.

    There a few sheriffs enforcing the law, abuse of power cases with sheriff deputies.

    And there are preachers teaching about law.

    Some people are even teaching the law and how it’s supposed to work….

    Great article. The broad pressure against this movement -- and the growing world-wide support for it – give me the best sense of hope I’ve had for quite a long time. I don’t have a wide network, but articles like this need to be shared. Thanks for posting.

    “Sooner or later, everyone will have to make a choice: freedom or slavery. There’s no middle ground anymore.”

    Attributed to George Orwell:
    “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

    To quote the 19th century British historian Thomas Babington Macaulay:
    “We cannot absolutely prove that those are in error who say society has reached a turning point – that we have seen our best days. But so said all who came before us and with just as much apparent reason. ... On what principle is it that with nothing but improvement behind us, we are to expect nothing but deterioration before us?”

    This is one of the finest pieces of writing that I have read in a long time. It was well said and spot on.
    Who is John Galt? Now we know.

    She storms off stage, throwing a tantrum and hurling a water glass at one of her minions. Continuing her tirade and screaming profanities at Matt Lauer and Trump, she encounters Donna Brazile in the stairwell with racial slurs calling her calling a "porch monkey." She demands that Lauer be fired, and tells her to "get…… to work janitoring up this mess….Do I make myself clear?" Hillary was then overheard carrying on her rant to an NBC executive, "If I lose, we all go down and that Fascist #!&xx* will have us swinging from nooses!"

    While this narrative was reported in 2016 by several outlets, there is no direct verification of these events. But the essence of this storyline speaks volumes of what the ingrained bureaucratic state feared and continues to fear, with the uncovering of evidence revealing the mountains of corruption. Taken in total, the weaponizing of the government agencies such as the IRS with targeting political opponents, the intelligence spying on a sitting President, the NSA with data collection and surveillance of our homeland, along with the Justice Department painting half the population as domestic terrorists, is more reflective of a third-world dictatorship than the foundation of what American governance represents.

    From Pelosi to Schumer, McConnell to Cheney, the Generals to the teacher's union, the intelligentsia to the Justice Department, they are all fearful of the incestuous tangled web of deceit they have spun for the last two generations, as they lined their pockets and increased authoritarian power over the "peasant" populace. Trump may have lanced the boil to expose this poisonous pus, but the truckers' squeeze may just begin to drain that infectious swamp.

    It is incumbent on all not to evade the glaringly obvious to save our great country. With critical thought, we must identify and grasp the magnitude of this venality while viewing through the lens of a "common sense" individualism that was so essential in our country's formation. Heed the warning of this sagacious quote;

    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

    I believe the next place to go is the ports.
    If the goods can't leave the docks it is locked up.
    All we have to do is drive on and slow down the Interstate Highways to and from the ports.
