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.
4) But we are angry. As angry as we have ever been, and that's saying something. And yes, all three of us are old enough to remember watching this scene back in the day. It's worth the almost 4 minutes to watch the entire clip.
5) What are we so angry about? We're sure angry over a stolen election, and the suppression of the Biden laptop story. We're angry about the perpetual attack on our Constitution and the corruption that goes with its perpetual weakening.
6) We're mad about Justice Scalia's death - we three believe it was an assassination - and the cover granted to his death by NOT doing an autopsy. Oh, I've read the justifications. Malarkey, I say, and I'm still mad as hell ab out it.
7) That may seem like old news to you, but it isn't old news to me. I was thrilled when Donald J. Trump became POTUS, and looked forward with all my heart to his righting SCOTUS. Now, look at all his appointments and what did they do for us in the face of a stolen election?
8) Imagine what it is to know that Scalia was assassinated, and that they'll come for you or your children and no one will ever know. Sure, call me a conspiracy theorist. I consider that a badge of honor. There are conspiracies. I theorize about them.
9) It is my theory - and I'm as mad as hell about it - that the reason no court has adjudicated against any election 2020 evidence is that all our courts have been gotten to. They have been corrupted by what means necessary. That's what I believe.
11) I don't honestly recall how much I focused on or expressed my inner and outer rage, the fury in my soul over the injustice this good man suffered. I can tell you that from 2018 - 2020, my anger never abated. Rage and fury seem like soft words to me, looking back.
12) In the aftermath of the stolen election, I was completely dejected at first. Then, as my anger and motivation returned, I did what I always do, I studied. And I came up with this list.
13) I read or reread all those books and others too, trying to find my way, my vision forward. Part of the journey - and I'd never read his book before - was a very intensive reading of Sharp's book. Everyone should read his book. It is incredible.
14) One thing I did with his book was switch out the word "democracy" every time I read it, and switch in the word "republic." I'm telling you, it makes a huge difference. So much more powerful.
15) Our artist @pgeerkens may recall, I was trying to lead others to read those books, and also to identify a symbol to bring us all together. I failed, completely. Even with this wonderful symbol, which was my favorite back then, no one was ready. We actually, really weren't...
16) As a people, we weren't ready to access and express our inner rage. We weren't ready to lift up the windows and yell at the top of our lungs. And we weren't ready to select a symbol that could pack the punch of that anger. It wasn't ripe.
17) You certainly know I'm building my way to our J6Heroes. #FreeJ6ersNow. But let's work slowly on social media first. A principle that I brought to our strategy development in the #PardonFlynnNow Movement, was Concentration of Force.
18) We had to concentrate all our force behind just one hashtag, in order to accomplish our goals. Most people don't think or work that way. Everyone has his favorite, and people rightly enjoy picking any hashtag they wish. It is both normal and their right.
19) The problem is, it just doesn't get the job done. Every nuance matters, and they all were excellent and had their own followings. Together, had that been possible, they might have won the day. But, that wasn't possible.
20) And it's not just the hashtag, it's also its basic logic. The battle I spent the most time fighting was against this hashtag and its logic: #ExonerateFlynnNow. It seems so reasonable, and it was. But I knew, and demonstrated this could not occur. Here's why...
21) Difficult as it was to persuade General Flynn's supporters, the truth is that, stick tight...
22) When it comes to our persecuted heroes, now, we're certain to face the same challenge. Everyone will naturally want them exonerated. And, what's more, I could be wrong. Maybe they will be, and if so, I'll be dancing in the streets, I promise.
23) Now for a little politics. I'm throwing down for @realDonaldTrump for 2024 with all I am. And that is the "how," if you follow. Yes, I do fear, and hate, and am so angry about it, but I fear that it will take us re-electing Trump before we'll win our pardons for them.
24) How did that work out for General Flynn? Trump had to wait til after the election before he could grant clemency by #PardonOfInnocence. By the way, if you do head over to our site, you'll see the order right there, and it absolutely includes those precise words. Check it out.
25) It's important that you know that the pardon itself was actually never our goal. We always knew that President Trump was the only soul who could make that decision, and we always respected his rights, his autonomy, his wisdom. No, our goal was slightly different.
26) As a coach, I always teach my clients, you don't want what you want. What you do want, is the power to get what you want. It was along those lines we targeted our goal. We needed to give Trump the political cover to grant the pardon, should he decide to do so.
27) Through the two-year cycle, with every new injustice Judge Emmet Sullivan wreaked, we gained more and more millions of supporters, all Tweeting out our two hashtags. As we turn to our #J6Heroes, we need consider the investment economics such support entails.
28) What Twitter - and all social media empower - is the least amount of time, and effort, in order to take meaningful action in support of the mission. It's just a little hashtag. Once it's trending, you don't even have to type it in.
29) Again, if you remember, we employed other social media tools. One was to add these three stars to your name, in respect of General Flynn's three stars:
30) Another was the employ a banner image like the one I showed above and show again here. Imagine 1,000s and 1,000s of Flynn supporters all using this as their Twitter or other social media banner images.
31) The last thing I'll mention is not only the memes we did, such as the wonderful meme you see here, but also how we tested them with real time contests here at Twitter. Our people were incredible meme artists, fighting for a true cause. You can learn more at our website.
32) Without going into any aspects of our #J6Heroes' situations, allow me to assume you're as mad as I am. There are steps to take, and the single most important first step is to go to stophate.com. This is @HelpStopHate's site.
33) You can click on it here, and watch this phenomenally important 37-minute documentary. But this is the 1st thing to tell anyone you send there to do. Watch this!
36) We'll finish our excursion here with me putting the terrible story in my own words.
The right to speech is the most important of all, and there is no greater expression of that right than a free and fair election.
37) The right to peacefully assemble is a critical component of that right. If you can't assemble, your voice will not be heard. Those who chose to go to our Capitol did so with a peaceful heart, hoping to true the vote. This was their right. 100%.
38) Those who stole the election knew this would occur, and were ready. Employing the same tactics the CIA perfected called "color revolutions," violence was perpetrated against them, and then blamed upon them. And then the real evil began.
39) Following wrongful arrests, they were detained and placed in what @HelpStopHate has rightly named, the American Gulags. And that is where so many are to this very moment. Without justice. Targeted by the most evil people in America. Pure victims, due to their patriotism.
40) I'll leave this thread pinned for a while, don't know how long. Please share it. Please let everyone know, we need millions of viewers of @HelpStopHate's documentary. We need to #RightTheStory.
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?
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.
