Note From the Founder…
As this is an election year, and the other day was Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it seems fitting to focus on “The Speech” that Reagan gave at the Republican Party Convention in 1964 as his words ring quite true today from a past not that far away. America faces some of the same or similar challenges in this presidential year. And in that year, the nation was still reeling from the assassination of John F. Kennedy the previous November. We have learned so much since that time, yet what we have learned since that time has not been so wonderful with light shed upon our nation’s government agencies being used against the people.
Reagan had to deal with the turbulence in his day and did it with seeming grace and eloquence that seems to have evaporated from the political realms across the nation today. America seems to have lost its way in such a time as this, and it was Reagan who said that “If we ever forget that we are “One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” The proverbial writing is on the wall, as the nation is all but turned into a godless mass of self-indulgent adolescents in a downward spiral into utter decadence. One may wonder, when are the adults going to return to help us out of this mess. In the process of wonderment, one may come to realize that they are, indeed, an adult. The next step would be to start cleaning up the mess nearby. One could start by being the first one on their block to be the adult in the neighborhood.
Reagan expressed that we would be facing a time of choosing – essentially between good and evil. Each of us were blessed with a conscience for the purpose of such discernment to realize the difference. Reagan indicated that Americans have a “rendezvous with destiny” and this in my humble estimation is that time. The provocative words will remain words until they actually provoke citizens to take action to clean up the mess they are called to clean up. It’s Americans who need to reclaim ownership of our citizenship and stop thinking that someone else will take action and fix things for us. First of all, most people realize that “things” do not fix themselves. It is also true that people with a weak mind or a corrupted conscience do not usually seek to fix much at all. Indeed, it is truly a time of choosing for all Americans. A video of Reagan’s speech is included in the featured article today. It would be good to watch the great communicator in action. But, the main point is not in just marveling at Reagan’s words. It is in activating willpower.
Since America has moved on from the days of Reagan and seemingly lost touch with his views, it is fitting to honor his memory by focusing on him in this edition. So, the founder’s focus today is upon Ronald Reagan and his challenge to citizens today.
The second article os from Ray Di Lorenzo, who is provocative in his own right. His article is entitled: “The 2024 Election: The Final Battle” and appropriately dealing with perhaps one of the most crucial elections the United States will face in its history.
This edition is dedicated to those patriots who desperately want to hold on to what has been the most well-developed culture to permit freedom in history. The government is beginning to fail us in the protection of our rights, but if we expect the government to fix itself, think again. Indeed it is a time of choosing. And a long time ago, someone once stated a profound truth: “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing.” As mentioned previously, “it is important for the remnant to work together to retain the Republic. United ‘We the People’ will stand.” Let us stand to defend Freedom! In such a time as this!
Reflecting on the ‘Reagan Revolution’ in the Election of ‘24
The Establishment Republicans are finally allied with the Democrats and have created a “UniParty” of Elitists
By Jonus Freeman —— Bio and Archives--February 7, 2024
Last week President O’Biden aroused a wave of criticism because during a speech about abortion in Manassas, Virginia, last Tuesday, he gave a shout-out to “the real governor, Terry McAuliffe.” The RNC and other Republicans took the opportunity to call the POTUS out for being an “election denier” after implying that McAuliffe was actually the winner of the Virginia gubernatorial election in 2021. However, it may be that the Republicans see the intended joke as a simple opportunity for sniping at O’Biden. But, in a broader scope, it is reflective of leaders of either of the two major political parties being overly anxious to score points with the public at whatever the cost.
All joking aside, O’Biden, a “Catholic-in-name-only,” is a walking, talking contradiction in human form
The speech O’Biden gave was on abortion, which was not as humorous as he discussed what the Democrats are pushing as encapsulated in their catch phrase for the justification for killing babies as “reproductive freedom.” It may make some shred of sense to those who have no conscience, nor any genuine concern for life itself. All joking aside, O’Biden, a “Catholic-in-name-only,” is a walking, talking contradiction in human form. But, in his speech on abortion, his true colors came bleeding through. With President’s Day on the horizon, many Americans should take time to weigh O’Biden in comparison to other presidents as the birthdays of three occur in February. The ones most remembered are Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. However, not to be diminished; it is important to remember that February 6 was the birthday of another great president, Ronald Reagan.
Compared to Reagan, O’Biden (although a combo deal of two presidents for the price of one) shows up as a polar opposite and representative of what Reagan warned the American public about big government in his day. Many Americans may not easily recollect that former POTUS Ronald Reagan was born on February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Illinois. Reagan was one of the most important leaders of the Republican Party in the last 50 years, and he should not be so readily forgotten. Especially, in light of what is currently being accepted as an American presidential administration, it is good to remember the “Reagan Revolution” as a point of reference.
Reagan kept fighting to get his message to the American people
Unfortunately, many young people, born after the Reagan era, may simply relate to Reagan as “an actor-turned politician,” and not recognize his deeper beliefs. Those beliefs resonated with the American people when they had the chance to directly hear what he had to say, rather than accepting what they were expected to believe by the so-called “political experts.” Often neglected in the telling of the stories of Ronald Reagan, is that this old man had to engage in a serious fight simply to get his message of optimism out to the American people. Long before Trump, he had to shake up the Republican Establishment before he could win the hearts of the American people during the general election for pOTUS in 1980. Often ignored, that election is rightly remembered as essentially an uphill battle most of the way to the presidency, initially against his own party, and then in fighting the Democrats.
Ironically, though Reagan was once a Democrat, he was not a centrist; he proved to be far too conservative for the traditionalists in the Republican Party. It proved daunting to simply get the Republican Party’s nomination to run for President of the United States. Major Establishment types made claims that he was not presidential material, and despite the Republican Party, despite professional political handlers, despite continuous Leftist criticism and personal attacks against him, Ronald Reagan kept fighting to get his message to the American people, to share his sincere faith in the exceptional nature of this nation, and a sincere faith in how America truly depended upon the Constitution.
Republican Establishment types today have turned into “Never Trumpers” and seek to prop up Nikki Haley
Reagan understood that “Our Constitution is a document that protects the people from government.” Yet, many now realize that O’Biden and the Democrat Party seek to instill a degenerative dependency upon big government and a soft-tyranny over the people. Sadly, when the political process comes down to the winning of elections by either major political party, the American people eventually become spectators watching who best excels at gaining control of the machinery of government.
This is why the traditional Establishment types in the GOP did not want Reagan to run, as they believed he would not be able to win. It is why the Republican Establishment types today have turned into “Never Trumpers” and seek to prop up Nikki Haley as a legitimate nominee and favored candidate “package” as opposed to the candidate of the people. GOP Establishment types like to believe they can pick “winners.”
Puppet masters of either party like puppets they can control. Of less importance is what potential presidential candidates honestly believe.
Although Reagan was a Democrat earlier in his life, he had grown more conservative as he grew older. In 1962, Ronald Reagan became a Republican at age 51. Only two years later, during the 1964 presidential campaign, Reagan delivered a rousing speech at the Republican National Convention in support of conservative Barry Goldwater’s nomination.
Rendezvous with destiny
While endorsing contender Barry Goldwater, Reagan stressed his own ideological convictions in a famed speech which later became known as simply “The Speech,” in which he stated:
The Founding Fathers knew a government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing… You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We can preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.
America has come once again to this point in its history. Some Americans may sense this intuitively, but perhaps conservatives sense more that America is now much closer to plunging into the “thousand years of darkness.” Reagan admonished America as a whole to wake up; yet, much of what he was concerned with has come to pass since his presidency. Democrat and Republican parties essentially struggle to better each other in a game of absolute power--at odds with one another mainly to win control of the apparatus of the government--even if they have to cheat to do it.

The Reagan Revolution exposed this “winning is everything” struggle
Newly elected officials can win local elections, but as they get to D.C., are indoctrinated with the unwritten rules of the dualistic power game. Such rules have little relation to serving the public; the rules are mainly designed to serve the Party.
The Reagan Revolution exposed this “winning is everything” struggle. It is almost miraculous that Reagan won within such a political arena. Ironically, while Reagan’s Revolution temporarily pulled the power hungry Republican establishment types to the right, it was only temporary. And over the years, the Democrats have moved so far to the left that they make FDR. look like a centrist. The Establishment Republicans are finally allied with the Democrats and have created a “UniParty” of Elitists. The pendulum has swung back in this time, and America needs another revolution--not with bullets, or bombs, or bayonets--but one fueled by the ideals espoused by a Reagan, or a Lincoln, or a Washington. The Reagan Revolution attempted to bring America back to the Founder’s ideals. And, while Reagan deserves to be remembered in the company of great presidents, he may prefer to see a revival of principles or a Reagan-like revolution in the presidential election of 2024!
The Great Reset will make many promises. But be aware; the globalists' reneges are guaranteed to equal their promises
The 2024 Election: The Final Battle
By Ray DiLorenzo ——Bio and Archives--January 27, 2024
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
There is no doubt that the 2024 election will be the most contested since, at least, when Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860. The very survival of our country is, once again, at stake and threatened by the same party. The Deep State, where many operatives were planted as permanent fixtures, is where the previous administrations, most notably Obama's, sowed the seeds of communism and fascism.
Call it the New World Order or the Great Reset. It's all the same
These elements have worked for many years to recreate a culture and a society within the United States that will more readily accept a new political order—a sick, deranged, anti-God combination of communism and fascism. Cities are crumbling before our eyes; manufactured inflation, open borders, food shortages, crime, disease, vaccine deaths, surveillance, censorship, and war are all meant to create fear and desperation for change. Call it the New World Order or the Great Reset. It's all the same.
They will require pliable, ignorant masses of people who are no longer patriotic or even moral and who want only what a massive government could grant.
Much of what the Left needs has already been put in place. A continuing series of pandemics and their vaccines to bring the population down. People living on the streets. An almost complete takeover of our education system, a cessation of civics instruction, the lowering of academic standards, DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) instead of meritocracy or qualification, and several generations that know almost nothing of our history. Their massive propaganda machine works constantly. MSNBC even admitted their censorship and bias against Trump with their refusal to air his speeches to 'protect' their audience.
The DEI rot in our military has all but destroyed our armed forces
The DEI rot in our military has all but destroyed our armed forces, bringing recruitment down to a critical level.
The toppling of historic statues, the renaming of schools and public buildings, and a revised history taught from grade school through college were a must.
To the Left, the need to remove historic statutes is paramount. They are a symbol of our freedom—those who gave their all to form a ‘more perfect union.’ They don't want future generations to understand that. To many in the Democrat Party, many of the statues are also a reminder of a political party gone mad—the Democrat Party—their political party—a party willing to go to war to protect that ‘peculiar institution’ called slavery, and then, when the war was lost and a race set free, they reverted to cultural reminders to a people of their forever inferior status. The Democrat Party fought hard to prevent Blacks from getting citizenship and voting rights. They even fought to deny voting rights to women. They see the statues as a reminder and an illustration that must be erased.
In the 1960s, the Democrats, beginning with Lyndon B. Johnson, changed their strategy. It was decided to pay poor people, the majority of whom were Black, to stay home. They called it welfare. As Johnson said (paraphrased), “It won’t be enough to make a difference, but we’ll make them vote Democrat for 200 years.”
After 60 years and trillions of dollars, we still have our poor, but with families and cultures destroyed, millions are caught in a never-ending cycle of despair.
The Black politicians, the race baiters, the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons, and the Don Lemon types became rich. They’re like the plantation overseers, keeping everything in order for the man. Leave the plantation, and they will come down on you hard.
To the Left, the hatred of our country runs deep
To the Left, the hatred of our country runs deep, and for the last twenty years, their leader has been Obama. He didn’t start the decline, but he grabbed the torch and ran with it. His childhood and upbringing were made taboo. It was only in slow motion that we all found out that his early years were filled with America-hating Marxist mentors.
Obama professed Christianity but spent 20 years in a church that fueled racism. When we thought racism was behind us, Obama reminded us continually that it was alive and well and used the race card every chance he got. It was a mindset that hated the United States and her history, which was no different than any other great country in the 19th century. He kept the fires of resentment burning.
His close association with Marxists like Frank Marshall Davis, known terrorists like Bill Ayers, and America-hating ministers like Jeremiah Wright will forever question his loyalties and inclination.
Obama was indeed a carefully crafted, manufactured Manchurian candidate.
Then you have Hillary Clinton, traitor extraordinaire. Armed with her political education, compliments of Saul Alinsky and his ‘Rules for Radicals’, dedicated to Satan himself, she learned how to get what she wants one way or another. Legality played no part.
Hillary used an unsecured personal server as Secretary of State instead of the government's secure email server, and she repeatedly lied about it. Her people claimed it was out of convenience. Regardless, she deliberately or ignorantly (your choice) made her system open to enable any hacker who cared to obtain classified documents. Was it a way to transport classified documents to those willing to pay? When questioned, she feigned ignorance. When questioned whether she ‘wiped’ her hard drives, her response was, “You mean with a cloth?”
Hillary accused Trump of collusion with Russia, a total hoax. But the real collusion came during her stint as Secretary of State. The Obama administration was anxious to do business with Russia. Anxious enough to champion a project with Russia to set up a Russian Silicon Valley... Skolkovo... AND transfer technology. National Review (9/22/2022) said, “It was like an espionage operation in broad daylight, openly enhancing Russia’s military and cyber capabilities.” Putin couldn’t believe his luck. Now, that’s a real Russia collusion story, not a hoax. (American Report, 3/17/2017)
Hillary’s Libya legacy will always be her downfall
Hillary’s Libya legacy will always be her downfall. For 42 years, a tyrant ruled over Libya. But it seems that beginning in 1998–2003, Gaddafi made a U-turn. He handed over the Lockerbie bombing suspects in 1999 and agreed to pay $2.7 billion in compensation to their relatives. In 2003, he saw Saddam Hussein overthrown. There is no doubt now about a reason for caution. Tony Blair meets with Gaddafi in 2004, and Bush restores diplomatic relations. Condoleezza Rice meets with Gaddafi in 2008 and he was taken with her. He had pictures of the both of them in his compound.
The Benghazi attack, forever linked with Hillary, saw a myriad of excuses and lies. Hillary said she was concerned that we needed permission from the Libyan government to conduct a rescue mission. Oh, but what about going into Pakistan to get bin Laden? No permission there.
It has been said that the order, through Panetta, was given to deploy the assets for a rescue mission. Why was there no launch? Is it possible that Panetta lied and never gave the order? Did the international banking community want Gaddafi killed because he was introducing an African currency backed with gold? Did Obama and Hillary have a gun-running operation active in Libya, arming ISIS and Al-Qaeda?
Did Obama and Hillary have Gaddafi killed in 2011? Did they even consider that Libya would become dangerously unstable if we eliminated its leader, no matter how totalitarian, past or present? Hillary's famous quote to CBS News concerning Gaddafi, while laughing, mind you, was, "We came, we saw, he died."
Surprisingly, while Hillary was going through her ‘bureaucratic obstruction,’ it was only Gaddafi loyalists, having nothing to do with the Libyan government, that put together a force of 50 heavily armed vehicles that came to the rescue of the diplomatic mission. And they arranged for the plane that flew them out. Still, we lost four brave men needlessly. Something Hillary Clinton seems all too willing to do. (American Report, 3/17/2017)
Globalist socialists, Fascist WEF, UN, WHO, Globalist billionaire oligarchs, Climate change fanatics, Supporters of eugenics, preparing the world for a new vision
Obama and Hillary’s failure to act and the nonsense excuses—one of them a video—will haunt her, and rightfully so. She will forever have the Lady MacBeth stain she cannot wash off.
These are the people who have taken leadership positions against America. They are globalist socialists, allied with the fascist World Economic Forum, the UN, the World Health Organization, globalist billionaire oligarchs, climate change fanatics, and supporters of eugenics, preparing the world for a new vision. A world where America is nothing but another cog in a big wheel, reduced to servitude and God is dead.
These are the people who know they must win the 2024 election. They, most assuredly, have contingency plans to either win the election by fraud, assure Trump as a lame duck president, or eliminate him altogether. Watch for coordinated riots and continued censorship. They are the lowest of the lows. They only care about their money and power. They care nothing about America or its people. A loss for them could mean indictments, prison, or death. A Hillary Clinton email to Donna Brazile says it all, October 17, 2016: "If that f***ing bastard wins, we all hang from nooses."
The forces of globalism are gathering for the Final Battle. Their goal is to make the rest of the world like China. That is their role model. They don't want you to see with your eyes but only listen with your ears, but even that is becoming ambiguous.
If we lose, our future is in doubt, but ultimately, they can enslave a free people for just so long. That's why we have open borders and deadly vaccines—replacements. They can keep the lid on only until too much heat builds up. Freedom is in our DNA. Western culture demands it.
The Great Reset will make many promises. But be aware; the globalists' reneges are guaranteed to equal their promises.
