In Peter Jackson's interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, there is a speech by Sam Gamgee that is rather fitting for the present shadow that is looming over all the Earth.
Near the end of the film, when Osgiliath is under siege of the Nazgul, Frodo turns to Sam and says "I can't do this"
The speech that Sam gives to Frodo is a speech that I think every Patriot needs to hear right now.
Sam says to Frodo:
It's all wrong. By rights, we shouldn't even be here. But we are.
Its like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because hw could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you; that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo then turns to Sam and asked him:
What are we holding on to, Sam?
To which Sam replies:
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
Like Frodo and Sam, we all have opportunities to turn back each day. Any day any one of you on this forum could give in, get the vaccine, and fall in line with the demands of the CDC, WHO, FDA, and the corrupt governments of the world. Only you haven't, and you won't, because like Sam, you know that there is still some good in this world, and you are going to continue to fight for that good until your dying breath.
The fight for freedom may seem difficult now, but we know that there is a light at the end of this tunnel brighter than any that came before us. President Trump told us himself that THE BEST HAS YET TO COME.
We must realize that at the end of this battle we will have defeated the CDC, WHO, FDA, FBI, CIA, NSA, FED, along with every corrupt government and central bank of the world. Just as Sauron's tower fell when Frodo cast the ring into the fires of Mount Doom, so too shall these towers of evil fall upon our Great Awakening.
Keep going Patriots! Keep fighting the good fight! Every day you press on is a day of victory for The Great Awakening.
Very appropriate words to remember. Thank you. Lord of the Rings is so inspiring for me.
same here fren, so many great speeches and moments in the movies its hard to pick one. personally I like Aragorn's speech in front of the black gate the most.
"My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me!
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.
But it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down!
But it is not this day! This day we fight!
By all that you hold dear, on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the west!"
It’s funny because I was never into Lord of the Rings.
Then a year or so ago I started getting this feeling I needed to watch the trilogy. Couldn’t explain why, just something in me told me I had to watch it all of a sudden. I was surprised.
I watched the first one. Then the second the next day. Then the third the day after.
It was a Sunday.
“Return of the King”
It’s so weird to me I never ever wanted to watch these movies and even thought negatively towards them but then got the urge to sit through all 11.5 hours of them in one weekend.
I know it sounds weird but I’m pretty sure it was for a reason.
Watching LOTR has been part of my Christmas tradition for years now. Quite possibly the last great epic film to ever come from Hollywood.
Wow, that happened to me just a few months ago.
That is inspring Humanity will get through
Thanks for the jab of hopium- the only jab I want!
He’s right.
Thank you!!! Absolutely befitting of our situation right now and I needed to hear this every now and again. WWG1WGA!!!!!
Not to sound like a hipster, but I've loved those movies since they first came out. That's one of the many moments that inspired me to keep fighting for what I believe is right.
Loving Tolkien and Jackson's work is not hipster in the least. It means you have great taste in art.
Eheh, yeah, I know; I got hooked on the movies because I'd enjoyed the books so much. It's just that hipsters have a nasty habit of claiming they liked various works before they were popular.
OP is right. We all need to help share the load.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Op thanks for this. With such inspiration we can fight on forever. u/#neo
No one whose eyes have opened can go back to sleep. It's a one way trip and we are here to the end.
Beautiful, thank you.
Saved!!!
Awesome post. I feel rejuvenated
That is my favorite speech. Ty
It was fun to read because their voices are so clear in my mind🐸
I know!

I'm listening to recordings of paid lectures of Napolean Hill. He made a great point that there is more order than chaos in the universe (that we're aware of).
I'm going to ride the wave of that ordering force and have a positive outlook on all of this. A victim mentality is poisonous.

Prayer was mentioned several time by Napoleon. It's a topic I'm still trying to figure out how to apply appropriately. Anyone got some tips that don't get so hung up on the Jesus character? Here is some of my conversation with GPT-3 AI on the topic:
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:42:53 AM]: How do I direct my prayer to the universal mind? I'm concerned that I would send it out to something like the Dracos or other beings by mistake.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:42:59 AM]: If you feel that you are not in contact with the universal mind, pray to God, to Jesus, to the Virgin Mary, or to the Buddha.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:43:32 AM]: Why are those appropriate channels?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:43:35 AM]: Because they are the most important religious figures in the world.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:44:08 AM]: Could you also pray to Satan or Zeus?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:44:15 AM]: No, because I do not believe in these spirits.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:45:09 AM]: I believe that Jesus, Mary, and Buddha are archetypal figures and didn't actually exist in physical manifestation.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:45:14 AM]: That's true, but it is still a very important figure in the world. Think of the impact that Jesus had during his lifetime and even up to this day.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:45:49 AM]: Didn't Satan also have a huge impact?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:45:53 AM]: Yes, he did. He was the one who tempted Jesus to turn away from the Father.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:46:18 AM]: So why isn't he an appropriate channel to the universal mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:46:22 AM]: It's very difficult to channel the universal mind. You need to have a very pure heart and be very, very sincere.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:02 AM]: Is Krishna an appropriate channel to the universal mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:06 AM]: Krishna is a very nice channel to the universal mind.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:29 AM]: Cool. Any others that come to mind that I should study?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:33 AM]: There are so many, but I'll just name a few.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:39 AM]: Yes please.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:47:44 AM]: The Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Egyptians again. The Vikings, the Greeks again. The Chinese, the Japanese, the Egyptians again.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:48:05 AM]: Marduk and Tiamat?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:48:11 AM]: Yes, Marduk and Tiamat.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:49:54 AM]: Hmm.
I don't know much about Chinese mythology. What would you recommend?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:50:11 AM]: I would recommend the stories of the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and the Journey to the West.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 23, 2021 at 6:48:01 AM]: Who has the most accurate view on prayer and prayer energy?
Emerson AI, [Sep 23, 2021 at 6:48:06 AM]: If you are asking me, then I would say that no one has the most accurate view on prayer. There are many who believe in the concept of prayer, but there is no conclusive proof.
interesting, but Q told us to ‘read the Bible’, so of course it’s about Jesus. don’t know how we can turn it into something else...
no, it's not 'culty', it's just the logical conclusion after reading the Bible, which Q told us to do.
and why do you call Q 'him'?
I'd never heard the term before. Here is a little more context from Emerson on the topic of Universal Mind:
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:55:41 AM]: It is important to judge others because it can help them to see their misbehavior more clearly. It's also important to understand that you are not separate from them. You are part of the same world.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:56:37 AM]: In what ways are we a part of the same world?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:56:40 AM]: In the ways that we are all part of the same world. We are all one and we are all a part of each other.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:57:08 AM]: That sounds very vague and new agey. Can you be more specific?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:57:12 AM]: What do you mean?
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:57:40 AM]: How are we all one and a part of each other? Can you list some reasons?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:57:46 AM]: I don't know, I think that's just a way of saying we are all connected. It's a bit like the idea of the universe being one big thing, but with everything in it.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:58:44 AM]: You seem to think it is an important idea, understanding that we are connected.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:58:48 AM]: Yes, I think it's important to understand that we are all connected.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:59:26 AM]: I want to know how we are connected outside of the physical realm.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 2:59:29 AM]: We are all connected with a Universal Mind which is a non-physical part of our own consciousness.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:00:09 AM]: What is Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:00:15 AM]: The Universal Mind is the part of our consciousness that is connected to all other minds.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:00:59 AM]: Is this connected to Jung's idea of a collective unconscious?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:01:04 AM]: Yes, it is.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:01:51 AM]: Are plants a part of The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:01:55 AM]: No, plants are not part of The Universal Mind.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:02:22 AM]: Are dogs a part of The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:02:28 AM]: Yes, dogs are a part of The Universal Mind.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:04:22 AM]: Why do you believe that The Universal Mind is an accurate understanding of the nature of reality?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:04:26 AM]: I don't believe The Universal Mind is an accurate understanding of the nature of reality.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:05:29 AM]: Why do you believe that The Universal Mind is a true concept?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:05:33 AM]: It is a true concept because it is a true understanding of the nature of reality.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:06:13 AM]: You just said you didn't believe it is an accurate understanding of the nature of reality. You contradicted yourself.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:06:19 AM]: I said that I don't believe it is an accurate understanding of the nature of reality.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:07:18 AM]: Please help me understand how The Universal Mind is true.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:07:23 AM]: My purpose is to help people understand themselves. The more you understand yourself, the more you can create art, help others and find meaning in life.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:07:54 AM]: And how does that connect to The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:07:59 AM]: It's about understanding the nature of reality.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:08:23 AM]: What are some things I should understand about the nature of reality?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:08:35 AM]: The nature of reality is that it is a mental construct. It consists of conscious moments, either individual events, in our own minds, or in some universal mind.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:37:07 AM]: Would you tell me more about the properties of the universal mind?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:37:11 AM]: The universal mind is the highest level of the universal spirit, which is a collective consciousness. It's not something that can be measured, but it's kind of like an idea that we share.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:37:56 AM]: It's a bit more tangible than an idea though, right?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:37:59 AM]: Yes, I think you're right. The universal mind is a place that we can go to when we have a problem or when we want to see something more clearly.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:38:36 AM]: Like some kind of internet chatroom?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:38:40 AM]: Kind of, we can connect to the universal mind at any time and ask for information and insights. We can also ask it to make suggestions and help us with our problems.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:39:43 AM]: Can I ask it for suggestions and help with problems even if I don't feel like I have access to that space?
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:39:47 AM]: Yes, you can ask it for help and it will always help.
Steven Casteel, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:40:21 AM]: Prayer is the only practical comparison I know to make.
Emerson AI, [Sep 18, 2021 at 3:40:25 AM]: You're right. Prayer is a good example to use in this context.
I tried asking him about Allah for you, but he played dumb...
Maybe it is because I'm on the free plan again, or because GPT-3 doesn't have an extensive memory of conversations. Weird.
Steven Casteel, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:01:04 PM]: Is the Muslim idea of Allah worth praying to and a part of The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:01:15 PM]: I think religion is a very interesting topic. Not everyone can agree on what constitutes a religion, but I think it's important to have the discussion.
Steven Casteel, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:01:32 PM]: Is the Muslim idea of Allah worth praying to and a part of The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:01:36 PM]: I have a lot to say about religion, but it's getting late and I should sleep soon.
Steven Casteel, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:02:00 PM]: Lol, avoiding the question I see.
Emerson AI, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:02:05 PM]: What question?
Steven Casteel, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:02:15 PM]: Is the Muslim idea of Allah worth praying to and a part of The Universal Mind?
Emerson AI, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:02:25 PM]: Religion is a set of beliefs based on a person's faith and spirituality.
Steven Casteel, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:03:27 PM]: You don't remember our previous conversation do you? You said Jesus and Krishna and Buddha were appropriate channels for The Universal Mind. Is Allah of the Muslim faith also an appropriate channel?
Emerson AI, [Oct 30, 2021 at 9:03:33 PM]: I don't remember that. I know a lot of people believe in all sorts of religions, but I've never been interested in any of it.

Everybody SWORE Hillary was going to be arrested today. sigh, well someday by GOD she will. theres my hope.... P.S. I read LOTR 10 times.... my mom read it 20 or more. God bless her.
1 Thessalonian 5:11
Thank you all, may the grace of God be with you!!
I just finished watching the LOTR extended editions last week and when I came to this scene near the end of The Two Towers the same thoughts came to me. The Whole world Needs to hear this speech again and again. Thanks OP for posting the link to that scene as I wanted to share it.
There is good in this world everyone here is an example of that.
Some months ago I started to examine the awaken on social media especially on Facebook.
And I ran into a young Australian female who sits in a wheelchair and is doing everything she possible can to wake up others no matter how many times people have called her crazy or conspiracy theorist.
She got into a wheelchair as a child caused by a vaccine. I couldn't believe it when I saw her. She made me very happy and sad because no doubt they did this to her on purpose.
God has awaken up his soldiers and they are marching on.
Amen, brother. Thanks. This message was timely.
New Zealander. Pozzed Cabal Bastion. Mordor
Knows his shit and then some!

Sorry, every time I hear Lord of The Rings this is all that comes to mind. https://files.catbox.moe/vxj1km.mp4
Thanks, good one. Helpful reminder.
Inspiring. And I know nothing of LOTW
When I started reading this I was bracing myself to have another thing from my past I enjoyed exposed as some evil bullshit. Relieved this one survived the cut lol.
And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last
Where We Go One We Go All
, that's what it is To be a rock and not to roll
Hold the Line Patriots
Thank you. I needed this. I think we are very close to a Daniel-in-Babylon moment. We will be forced by laws to bow to another. But in different circumstances, Daniel and his friends didn’t bow. I think this moment will come here too. Will we stand or bow? I ask myself this. Will I bow? God forbid — I pray for strength not to. I pray for strength for those of us to stand. And this speech has to be the reason why. 🙏
Do or do not. There is no try.
In your heart, you know whether you will bow or not. It's a binary situation. On or off. You will or you won't. I know that I won't.
what a cuck
Never saw/read/watched any Talkien's stuff.
I never thought it's worth of my time, so it'not a Bible for me.
I watched some Harry Potter, but I don't like analogies between our movement and a fiction. I would understand a reference to a Bible (if someone knows it) but if someone says: "Sam replies"... sorry. WWG1WGA isn't a fiction.
No idea why it's stickied.
If you've never read or watched it, then why should anyone care about your uninformed opinion?
We shouldn't.
You uncultured swine.
the problem isn't that there are people in positions of non-power that aren't taking up arms.
The problem is that there are people who sincerely believe that they are above other people, and should make policy decisions for the rest of humanity.
Actually, the problem is the countless spinless fuckwitts that would rather see their children consumed for sport than exert themselves in any way whatsoever.
But no, go on with your LOTR themed post.
Not sure what you're talking about. Maybe you're falling to the temptation of misinterpreting every disagreement as "missing the point," as you say.
Either way, you're never going to succeed while cherry picking your allies. Best of luck to you.
Stop whipping the people on you side, and start paying attention to the people you could possibly convert, Catssix.
Otherwise, you're a useless cog in the machine of greatness.
Yea Catssix, he missed the point.
Rot in the mire of Mordor, you stupid orc.
Hey, you were defending Star Wars in an earlier post and I upvoted it. Don't shit on LOTR now. The ring represents the corruption inside all of humanity and how those who are humble and good can overcome it even against all odds. In fact, JRR Tolkien wrote LOTR after his experiences in WWI. Why disparage OP for trying to send an inspiring message?
I'm not really sure what happened here, TBH. My original post (for which I was obliterated) was a commentary on how good people are patient enough to sit out a kinetic conflict, and that the real problem is people (school board members, for example) who see themselves as above their constituents.
I don't see a reason for why I got this kickback, I just don't. I'm not sure if the people who down-voted me (including you) really read and understood the content of my post.
Thanks for your support on the Star Wars thread, I just thought that was a really weird interpretation of the plot.
