" My brave fellows, you have done all I asked you to do, and more than can be reasonably expected; but your country is at stake, your wives, your houses and all that you hold dear. You have worn yourselves out with fatigues and hardships, but we know not how to spare you. If you will consent to stay one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty, and to your country, which you probably can never do under any other circumstances. "
Washington, encouraging his men to re-enlist in the army | Tuesday, December 31, 1776
Trump in September: "Biggest thing that nobody even knows about, and it's all signed. And it goes into effect January 1st. And you better make sure I win. Can you imagine? This is going to be the biggest thing and nobody understands what it is."
was hoping LBTrumplican would respond, but this connects well with GAW post https://greatawakening.win/p/19A12kIyjI/christmas-night-1776/ “A Christmas 1776” by LongTime Listener.
G. Washington and Continental Army was on the brink of defeat Dec. in ‘76, General Howe was defeating the colonists in New York. Continental Army (CA) strength was 19,000. British captured 3k and killed 2k, and as winter set in, lots of desertions = the precipice for them.
LongTimeListener’s post was about Thomas Paine’s inspirational “These are the times that Try Men’s Souls” that General Wash. read to his remaining 2,400 soldiers before crossingthe Delaware R. Christmas Eve. ____ T. Paine had arrived with about 800 militia from Pennsylvania, but going from 19,000 down to about 3,200 = quite demoralizing (compare November 2020 election steal how MAGA people felt).
After the Dec. 24 Eve surprise attack at Trenton and capture of the Hessians, 6 days later G. Wash. gave his speech Dec. 31 to get the 2,400 to re-enlist. Otherwise they would have dwindled down to only about 500 soldiers, as the contracts for service were completed come Jan. 1, ‘77. Q 970 Done in 30 = motivational speech “Momentum” = “keep the cause alive” & by the end of Jan. 1777, the CA began to rebuild when before 11,500 had abandoned the cause. Edit: As G.W. got his soldiers re-enlisted, so GAW keeps MAGA going through the Precipice, possibly January 2025!
Continental Congress was encouraged = a few more $ for soldiers’ pay and get more enlistments.
LBTrumplican’s post connecting Q 970 to GAW and the coming month = legitimate and intelligent. We might face “the Precipice” and defeating the globalist’s candidate was like a turning point, similar to Trump’s victory in 2016, but this round so much more.
Will the next 30 days be like the race Washington had to do to survive and regroup!
Movie attempt at analogy: in Chariots of Fire, when Eric Liddle later nicknamed (“the Fling Scotsman”) in 1923 race was bumped into and knocked off balance and felled? He got up, caught up and won the Amateur Athletic Championships in London? Globalists and black hats trying to trip Trump up in January? Are we in a race to get to the finish line of Election Certification and DJT inauguration?
Edit: the Precipice dates and events G. Washington faced are not exact dates that we could face in Jan. 2025, but the motivational concept Q is giving us by alluding to General Washington and his fledgling army = comparable to the Precipice we all will face. WWG1wGA!
Thank you very much fren!
