The American Fist of Freedom means, to me, that I wake up every morning asking questions about one topic. How can we #FreeJ6ersNow? I believe @HelpStopHate has the answers. If you do, I’m asking. I’ll explain below…
@HelpStopHate, who are the jailers, the judges, the prosecutors running our #J6Gulag? Or is it #J6Gulags, in the plural? Where is it, or where are they? Which evil Americans might wake up, turn a new leaf, and #FreeJ6rrsNow, as in today?
One last point, @HelpStopHate, other than Joe, is there just one person with the power of their freedom in his hand? If so, can we identify him and commence a campaign to make him known and persuade him to do the right thing? Can we find the man holding the key to #FreeJ6ersNow?
Aha! It just hit me, a pardon and freedom are NOT equal. I care about freedom first, and a #PardonOfInnocence second. So…
I've named this image The American Fist Of Freedom. It is my hope that wherever we must be angry, on behalf of freedom, it will be embraced. It is my current image photo here at Twitter for that reason.
2) This fist was created by @pgeerkens back in May 2021, in response to my request for help building such images back then. It was inspired by the work of Gene Sharp, in his epoch making book, From Dictatorship To Democracy.
3) You might notice that my two friends and compatriots in arms, @tamaraleighllc and @HelpStopHate have embraced this image for their profile pictures too. Let's talk about that. This in no way means we don't have our own identities, we're each iconoclastic souls.
1/ I have decided that, when I have to post ad hoc threads like this one, I will use a slash, as opposed to en end parentheses after my thread’s tweet numbers. As such, this will be in and out…
2/ The image above, which is for now also my profile picture, is amazing. It was created by @pgeerkens about a year or so ago. He created it in repose to work I was doing on this book:
3/ It is impossible for me to urge you to read and study this book strongly enough. But I am going to try. Sharp’s work is one of the most influential cult classics of the 20th century. It has led to real revolutions around the world.
1/ It's time to admit something. The Constitution is not able to protect itself. It has always required that We The People do so. Most especially since the 16th & 17th amendments it needs us to step up for freedom. We have to look at how that has occurred.
2/ There's something the founders thought that time has proven wrong. They thought the Judiciary would be less corruptible than the Legislature or Executive. This showed itself wrong early on, but we have never accepted its truth. The Judiciary is corruptible.
3/ Thus, under the guise of its wrongly believed incorruptibility, its power for evil in America is greater than the other two branches. Consider the definition of evidence. As long as SCOTUS refuses to allow any, election 2020 can go stolen. No evidence, we're told.
3 December 2022 - It May Be Sad, But We Need Our Billionaire Heroes
You may never have thought of it, but this is NOT a new phenomenon. Let's dive in with Ben Franklin. He was arguably America's 1st modern entrepreneur.
2) No, his millions would not, moved forward to today, land him in the Billionaire Boys Club. But that his wealth was vast for the day, and all created during his own lifetime, is quite extraordinary. We'll come back to him.
3) While George Washington was certainly born well, his real economic wisdom was in marrying well. His wife was one of the wealthiest widows in America at the time. And, image the value of the 1,000 or so slaves he freed upon his death. And the land. Oh, the land!
I don’t whine much or often. Whining alert given. Kate, Anthony and I go to a restaurant. Anthony is 33, looks it, and we have his passport. Alas, it is expired, but states his 1989 birthday. Anthony doesn’t speak much.
Anthony does, however, love Blue Moon beer. I order it for him as I always do. The waiter comes back, asking for his ID. Kate whips out his passport. Nope. Not good enough. It’s expired so they can’t serve him. We leave.
I may have skipped over a few choice aspects of the encounter. But now to the real point. While I do not support government’s power to set consumption laws, what I support even less is the presumption that technical adherence to law overcomes common sense.
The raw force, power, and significance of this moment cannot be exaggerated. Our founders knew that the USA would be the shining city on a hill, shooting forth the beacon of freedom for all peoples and for all time.
