I would like to be more optimistic, but I cannot ignore the very ominous storm clouds forming on the horizon. Just my opinion here... but to me it looks like the Feds are intensifying their efforts at maneuvering to head things off at the pass for when the people finally realize that DC cannot be fixed and the public understands that our rights really play out on the local level and not in DC. They are quickly loosing control of the narratives and if the people take a stand on their local levels and get organized, the Feds are sunk. This is why the Tea Party scared the crap out of them and they had to shut it down. I hope we learned our lessons by the mistakes made then. The swamp does not play fair - expect it.

The swamp rats know they have a small window of time to get their plans in place to stomp out resistance before it gets started - but they have to do it in such a way as to not garner the attention of the bulk of sleepers that are already on the edge of waking up. I know they are getting desperate because Republicans in the Senate are onboard with a gun control bill - something they would never have attempted to do in the past. However, they are not ready yet to institute full control but I do expect them to double down trying to get there. The clock is running out for them.

We are not going to win this war on the Federal level - which is where they keep trying to divert our attention. How many times have we been played by... if we just win back the House... if we can firmly control the Senate... then all we need is the WH and we can surely get things done? Really? We have been sucked in by this script too many times and not focusing our attention and resources into what is happening at our own local levels where all politics and governance begins. This is where some of the worst totalitarian measures have been put into place - all while everyone was obsessed about what was playing out in DC.

I have read local pandemic preparedness plans as well as plans related to Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030. There are several measures on the books in cities and counties that are straight out of the UN globalization climate action plans among others. All these measures have been quietly passed by numerous city councils, county commissions, and State legislatures over the course of years - one piece at a time and almost no one pushed back. When I tried to sound the alarm the response was usually something to the effect of... you are being noid... that surely can't happen here. Covid was just a beta test for the system so they could work out the bugs. It was never intended to be the final slam down.

The Federal government has been a captured operation for decades. Our local governments are where the real tyranny is going to play out, not in DC. The time to make a top down change I feel has passed - maybe someday, when we can get control on the State levels, DC can be dealt with. IMO we are too far down this road. We have to make a stand where we can be the most effective and that is where the largest number of citizens can have a direct impact where we live. When States were locking people down and destroying the economy, the Federal government could do little to intervene and they knew it. All they did was continue to raid the people's pocket and pay off their crony friends - that and do a whole lot of press briefs and weave the narrative. Most of the citizenry is uneducated as to what the Federal government can and cannot do. The real damage was done by local and state governments. The local and State authorities simply seized the power granted to them by all the measures they had already put into place. That scenario did not just happen overnight - it took place over years and most were not paying attention.

All the promised toothless Congressional hearings and investigations, blah, blah, blah, are just a clown show to keep us watching the shinny object while they stab us in the back. The show is there so they can somehow justify their hefty paychecks and make themselves richer through insider deals. What major legislation in recent memory has been passed that actually benefitted the people in the long run? I can't think of any. I am still waiting for my $2500 savings that I was promised under the ACA - and I didn't get to keep my doctor either.

So, what can we do to stop this destruction? Get involved at the local level and resist. Run for office if you can. Work at getting a based and strong Sheriff - they are our best last stop for halting government overreach. Call out corruption and keep calling it out - even if we think no one is listening. Show up to your school board meetings, city council meetings, and anywhere else where officials are making decisions that affect our lives and the lives of our families. Learn about going after their bonds. The worst thing we can do is stop speaking out. We are in our current situation because we did not speak up earlier - but we have the opportunity to speak up now - loud and clear while we still can. When our voices are silenced, that is when they have won and the worst of tyranny can be implemented - because no one will speak out against it.

Good luck Patriots and keep fighting. We have far to much to lose if we do nothing.
