A reminder for a friend…
Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy; the term has no meaning when things are working according to our own convenient interests. Steadfast means standing strong when it’s challenging, difficult and unnerving. Just as courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is taking action despite being fearful; so too is steadfast a decision.
Often when things are disconcerting, we retreat to the place where we are comfortable. However, steadfast is unwavering despite the obstacles and difficulties. When we don’t hold the words to comfort the grieved, yet we show up and sit quietly just to eliminate loneliness, that is a steadfast commitment. When we see adversity on the face of another, and we choose to engage with our time and comfort, that is a steadfast decision.
When CTH was formed, it was a small assembly of misfits who were not fearless, but brave enough to be comfortable within our discomfort. We knew we had to look deeply at the issues which face us. We remind ourselves that ‘truth has no agenda‘ & truth exists despite our feelings of the subject matter. The core elements of CTH are based on this principle of remaining steadfast amid the face of adversity, national, political or even personal.
The CTH armory is insightful, wise and often purposeful; but this assembly is foremost a fellowship. A steadfast decision to stand together and figure out how all of these intense subjects, issues and events interact, influence and ultimately impact our lives.
Right now our nation is facing a time of extreme trepidation. Nerves are frayed, emotions are raw and individually we find our compass spinning in a way that destabilizes us. Into this climate the originating value of our core assembly becomes critical. CTH remains steadfast & committed to the best hopes and solutions within us. We strive with purpose.
Each day for over a decade we begin with a simple prayer. We host a candle for those who need prayers and support, and we engage purposefully with the intent to cherish the value, wisdom and skills that each unique person brings to the subject matter being discussed.
My personal commitment toward that end has been to remain steadfast and unwavering in defense of this little corner of the internet. To maintain a place where facts can be discovered, truth can be unearthed and honest discussion/opinion can be afforded.
In July of this past year, it was our CTH mission to ensure that people within the institutions of our government were aware of: (a) evidence of specific corruption; and (b) our knowledge about it. It was during one of those briefing trips to DC when I recognized a serious disconnect between what the people within those institutions of government viewed as their role, and what We The People expected of them.
It was also the first time when I realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.
I’m certain there are good people in DC, but the systems surrounding them have lost their originating purpose. The central function of U.S. government is now so corrupt the institutions regard ‘We The People‘ as the problem the people within the system must protect themselves from.
I quickly recognized the solutions to our national issues were never going to come from our requests to those who operate within the institutions. However, even worse was the impact we were having on each-other due to our national frustration. It was evident within our frustration – as a nation we are losing a sense of identity, unity and fellowship.
The only people who can change that dynamic is us.
We are ‘The People’ we have been waiting for; yet, the professional political class, purposefully walled-off within this corrupt system, are also purposefully blind to our assembly. In order for the DC politicians to continue operating corrupt levers within a corrupt machine they must ignore the will of the same people they are supposed to represent.
President Trump represents ‘We The People‘, and as a consequence those within this corrupt system view his appearances with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.
They want to destroy us, so they need to destroy him. They want to destroy our faith, so they need to destroy hope. They will fail so long as we remain steadfast.
CTH (The Last Refuge) was founded upon this acceptance long before Donald Trump became president in 2016; and the actions by both wings of the UniParty congress over the past six weeks have been clear evidence of what we always knew was present.
Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction. Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.
Above all, those who understand the larger issues must remain united and hold a sense of fellowship toward each-other if we are to overcome the challenges. The purpose of using COVID fear as a strategic weapon to achieve division is evident. Unilateral fiats can be an effective strategy deployed by those who benefit from division; we must counter this effort.
The fraud within the phrase “social distancing” not only creates distance between us but also creates a void of loneliness within the soul. Into this void of isolation, fear takes hold and becomes toxic. Thus the true value of fellowship is more important than ever.
Right now everything around us seems less focused on the pursuit of happiness and more focused on what happiness we are missing. At the heart of that anxiety is this sense of foreboding. A choking sense of fear and worry; a sense of trepidation. Faith in a loving and purposeful God is now more important than ever, embrace it – share it.
This moment in history is where each person of strength holds a higher level of influence, and we should engage in the lives of others to show that strength. Right now people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope. If you do not provide that to your family, friends and community, you allow the alternative, despair, to take root.
Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it. Recognize despair when you see it, intercept it and eliminate it when you can… AND you always can. Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.
Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. We are a majority nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself. Your dreams are unique to you.
Stay strong for your family…
Stay strong for your community….
Stay strong for our nation… We need each-other.
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
Dear Treehouse,
[…] I have been saying for some time that America is at a tipping point. Regardless of who is in apparent control of the Government (Executive, Legislative or Judiciary), there are forces at work that truly do lead to the creation of a “Uni-party.” As the underbelly of the Uni-party has been exposed, those in control have become vulnerable.
The real prospect that God-fearing, hard-working, honest Americans are beginning to see how the system has been rigged to manipulate them is upon us. Your dogged determination to lay bare the ugliness of what Washington has become is to be greatly admired.
We have lacked true leadership for too many years. This of course creates a vacuum and vacuums are dangerous because they allow false prophets to arise. People are desperate for someone to lead and say that they can restore the values that we once held dear as a nation.
Perhaps this is why your banner with the redhead staring at the gathering storm calls to me. The storm is just off the shore, building energy, waiting to crash over all of us. Yet, in the gathering darkness you have provided a light. A beacon of hope in a dismal world. A beacon which illuminates an alternative to the false choices of the Hegelian dialectic that is forced upon us all.
May God keep and protect you as you gather and collate the evidence to lay bare the ugliness that has become government, as it is now practiced, and reclaim all that makes America truly great. May the Holy Spirit guide you in your words and actions. Know that there are many that believe in what you are doing and stand ready to do their part. Remember that the darkness is always greatest before the dawn. I am confident that a new dawn is about to break.
~ A Patriot
Bless Sundance, Stella, and the rest.
Never Forget Ephesians!
Thanks Sundance, these are difficult times in many ways….
Our “Forefathers” suggested a well regulated militia.
From one who lurks more than types, thank you to Sundance and to all for the basis of fellowship as a platform.
A platform that permits chewing upon things that may often provide divergent tastes while always the commitment to a common ground.
??
“What do you call a redhead with an “attitude”?
Normal!
Thank you, Sundance. Your words of encouragement go deep.
Increasing my efforts to find more like-minded friends.
Hopefully we can restore our nation without blood shed. Trump may very well have found the way. But restore it we will. God will point the way
i have been saying since he got elected that he is their last chance to go away peacefully
Yes Sundance, Thank You. I fear we are approaching distressing times. We need to find and keep our strength.
Andrew J. Breitbart
February 1, 1969 – March 1, 2012
Thank you Sundance, again, for your constant inspirational reminders. It is truly a blessing to be here on my branch!
Thank you for the encouraging reminder, Sundance. What a precious treasure you are to all of us.
I’d attempt to balance on a twig just to be here every day.
This is water in the desert. Thank you.
Thanks, I am starting to gain some hope again. President Trump is optimistic. It will be rough. Just looking at the continued false narrative of white supremacism, nazi, etc., in replies to Nimrata Haley’s flip flop tweet again shows how far the divide is. At least the left can’t stand Nikki as much as the right does. I think only GOPe like her and think they can shove her at us. Boy, she really miscalculates, can anyone really imagine her as our leader? Never.
Our biggest obstacle is not having a legacy media that supports us and sees the truth of it all.
We have to start in our local precincts and local GOP party and get involved. Go to meetings, find out where their heads are. I’m still hoping to find out more, so far the local GOP has some expensive fundraisers, while I get multiple offers for free or pay for ourselves from a neighboring community GOP in order to step my toe in.
Anyway, I will figure it out.
One thing, the person President Trump endorsed for District 16 Ohio to replace Gonzales doesn’t have much on his site and doesn’t state his position on the issues. I believe he served in the administration, though. I will pick whoever our President chooses but I hope they improve their position on policies for others to see in the near future. But I do want to see if our local GOP is on board with this.
We have to assure election integrity.
But I don’t know what to do about the brainwashed and indoctrinated that are not my children. I am glad my 19 year old for now understands completely what happened (without much of my input) and is also upset with how it’s going under Biden. He says even when he will attend classes, he will not be brainwashed. I told him they will show him all kinds of “proof” of all they speak of, don’t forget what we’ve been living all along and can see with our own eyes and think and know the globalist communist agenda behind it all.
Thank You Sundance. I was feeling down, defeated and lost. You have re energized my patriotism, optimism and resolve.
Thank you Sundance! Read that twice…needed to after hearing the deeply corrupt us supreme court ruling on 2 of Sidney Powell’s suits.
Can us supreme court justices be impeached for failure to uphold the Constitution?
Any Federal officer can be impeached.
In 1804 Samuel Chase, a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court was Impeached on charges of arbitrary and oppressive conduct of trials.
Another resigned when it was obvious he would be impeached.
They can, theoretically, but there is likely no one in the entire U.S. Congress who has enough moral dignity and sense of outrage and would advocate for that.
How appropriate. Just got laid off. 7 months short of 25 years.
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this! Prayers going up for you and your family.
Oh no! I am saddened to hear this LT. Praying that you experience sunny days ahead!
So sorry, that is terrible!
You’ll be in my prayers starting today.
… Let me guess that timing was designed to damage your pension and ability to continue your health care. How will you be replaced: With a migrant paid under the table, or with AI? One or the other is the norm these days.
Or a “strong” Union Rep that dangles carrots only to snatch them away at the finish line, while offering crumbs to all the newbies lined up at the gate.
It’s the classic pyramid scheme, but the pyramid got flipped, with all these boomers on top and nobody left to carry their water.
Oh well.. At least we were able to take care of our own parents. We poured our hard-earned cash into the system, but we neglected to repair all those holes that appeared at the bottom of the bucket.
You have my sympathies, Lizzie.
So sorry that you got laid off. I’m praying God sends something your way that’s bigger and better!
So very sorry, Lizzie !
My heart goes out to you, LizzieinTexas. May God send you those who can help!
Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry Lizzie. Praying that God will provide for you and lift you up in this.
Any reason you could sue for? So heartbreaking. So sorry!
Sorry to read that, good run though, uncommon in today’s transient labor market. Good news, of a sort, is there are robust programs in place right now for UI help due to the Covid-19 op. There’s zero indignity in taking advantage of all opportunities. It’ll work out. God be with you and your family.
lizzie as a a-former unemployment office director we would always say. Don’t rush into anything. Take stock in what your passion is. What do you like to do really like to do? Take time collect your UI benefits you helped pay for them. But all in all the best is when a door closes there is another one opening so it’s not the end only the beginning of another chapter… good luck and it will work out.
So sorry to hear that Lizzie.
Prayers.
I am so sorry to hear this, and deeply sympathize, as I lost a job of 35 years in 2020. Getting back into the job search after not having done so for that long is very daunting. I prayed to St. Joseph for help. I also spoke to friends and one told me she found her job through personal connections. At first, this discouraged me a lot, as most of my work buddies were losing, or had lost their jobs too. I did eventually find a new job through a church connection, so now, although I make less money than before, I feel more secure as I am working for and with people whose moral values I share. I wish you a similar outcome, that you may find work among people who share your values and whom you feel glad to be with
Amen, Sundance!
Since it was posted, I’ve been “plugging” a piece I contributed to Trevor Loudon’s site that, in its own way, echoes the “steadfast” call (albeit focused on reversing the coup, notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s “mootness” dodge, which I anticipated). More pertinent for this post, I included a lengthy list of reference materials at the end: https://www.trevorloudon.com/2021/02/we-had-a-color-revolution-under-color-of-law-but-we-can-still-reclaim-our-country/
Since then, I’ve watched numerous of the videos posted by “Millennial Millie” ( ). There is a wealth of information about both the Deep State (her “Shadow” series) and the ramp up and execution of the coup, and 1/6 (e.g., “Sunrise” and “Psyop”): https://www.millennialmillie.com
I have no relation with her. Instead I’m encouraging all of our “band” to watch as many of them as you can (starting with the most recent, “Psyop” and working back would be fine). Once you’ve seen you’ll understand why I’m trying to spread the word about her research and encouraging folks to view, and to get others to view.
Is this the same “Millie” who was supposedly “arrested” last year in front of her kids, hauled off by “plain-clothes officers,” and then mysteriously let go with no charges? If it’s the same person, no thanks!
I passionately loathe drama queens and fakers who stage these kinds of events just to drum up attention!
She was arrested — whether as a faker, maybe — but then the local police would have had to be in on it. I doubt that they would have cooperated.
In any case, review the material then make your own assessment. We’re in a world where we have to gather puzzle pieces from myriad sources, not just rely on, e.g., Fox News. (How did that work out?) Consider her as providing puzzle pieces — you don’t have to accept them all — but I’m betting that you’ll find a lot of them at least worthy of consideration.
Post proof that she faked, staged her own arrest.
Why don’t you go find proof that she didn’t fake or stage her own arrest? Sorry, but I’m not doing your homework for you.
By the way, those who live in the same town as Millie say she is an attention whore and that things like this “happen” to her often. I don’t have time for BS!
In our justice system the one making the charge (The Prosecution) has to prove their charge is correct. The Defense does not have to prove they are innocent of the charges.
However I was also disturbed by the arrest and followed it. Tore (of “Tore Says” podcasts) had all the backup info – it was real, not faked.
I love Tore; both she and Millie have brilliant minds and are patriots.
I have checked out Millie. She is as much as a patriot as the next guy/gal. Extremely smart. And while not perfect, nothing that I have seen tells me she staged anything.
I do not regularly tune in to her, but every time I have, it was spot on!
She is far from being a ‘faker’. It is horrific what she had to endure under the ‘evil forces’ that smeared her because the documentaries Thomas Wigand references above is a real threat to the powers that be.
Do some research before you join the band to smear her. There is a reason ‘fake news’ went after Millie in the illegal and vicious way they did, making up bogus claims. She has real courage and is a patriot.
Good call, Thomas. Millie was smart and created her own site as an alternative to YouTube, before they inevitably “cancel” her. She deserves our support. She does not use Patreon but one can help find her efforts directly at her website.
Whether she is fake, or not I DO believe we HAVE been subject to a psy-ops disinformation campaign.
Too many hope-porn stories, that ALL somehow seemed to involve US Military Intelligence, and a promise that some major action was just around the corner.
All the way back to the Sessions wars, and up thru 2.0, the Barr wars, the whole “Q” foolishness, on. And it is clear HOW such psy-ops operations work. They generate a split, between believers and detractors, which prevents unity of purpose. They create complacency, and so lack of united purpose cause “THEY Got this”, and then,..eventually despondency as reality and time prove NOTHING was going on, and there will be no accountability.
Whether Millie “exposed” the operation, or whether she was part OF the operation,..to me is irrelevant. I truly wonder whether My Pillow founder was hoaxed by the info he put on, at the end of his video.
Its a great way to discredit your opponents,…and when our enemy says “By any means necessary”, they really MEAN “ANY”.
The PsyOps concern is very real. FWIW, I was never a “Q” person — it seemed too good to be true (50k sealed indictments and so on), and it never made sense to me that if there was such an operation, it’d signal its intentions. As a layperson that, to me, would seem to violate even basic operational security.
That said, note Millie’s December 2019 video about “Will They Steal the 2020 Election” — focused on Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky (and his enemy Matt Bevin), she was warning well in advance about the fraud potential of electronic voting. (My suspicion is that Mitch McConnell and others of the GOPe are in on the fraud — that some bipartisan pooh-bahs in D.C. and Beijing decide who’s going to win and lose in key races.)
Her exposure of the federal employees Zoom call as they planned their “bottom up” part of the coup (“Sunrise Exposed”) is compelling — note as well the library of material linked on the home page for that.
With all that, she strikes me as legit. That’s why I’m trying to give her work as much exposure as I can, before she gets deplatformed (or Arkanicide’d).
Yep, those of us who’ve been following for decades are unsurprised by the latest activities and the various disinformation programs. I believe Millicent’s work came to my attention back during the Charlottesville operation, I had been investigating a helicopter crash on the day of that event and looking into the conflict on the ground I ran across her work for Alex Jones purely by happenstance and took it from there.
Trevor Loudan, don’t know them, thanks for sharing, I’ve found independent research to be a connect the dots thing so disparate narratives and work can be gleaned for pertinent data. We pretty much know what’s up, the rest is working out countermeasures and implementing them. Hopefully the ‘high road’ that Trump laid out will bear fruit at some point, either adjunct to or displacing extra-judicial action. Hope for the best, plan for the rest.
Tore says show is connected to Millie and Gavon. Very interesting content.
who is Tore?
She goes back a few years. Was on Youtube until the Purge…. then got her own site.
https://toresays.com
She has pretty much been de-platformed everywhere. Currently the best place to listen to her live show (Monday through Friday from 11:00am-1:00pm central) is through the twitch app. She is a quantum computing expert; incredible science mind. She is a warrior and helping others to forge through the corruption on a local level around the country. Check her out; I doubt you will be disappointed.
Hugs to you Sundance and fellow Treepers! Thank you for being there. These are trying times. Steadfast means staying connected with loved ones who are bright but not enlightened. It is challenging. My feeble Socratic attempts to enlighten DH (Darling husband for almost 40 years) over the last 3 months-just on election fraud and, more recently, on Pelosi’s and Dims/Rino post election Impeachment of Trump allegedly for Insurrection reveals just how difficult this Great Awakening of the sheeple will be. If CNN or MSNBC didn’t report it, it’s fake news to DH. He would only agree that cheating in an election to win was wrong. He did not agree that there had been any election cheating. “No court found cheating”. No msm reports of NH recount, Az audit, Michigan court ruling Antrim County, etc. He received his second dose of Pfizer’s experimental drug-mRNA vaccine. So far no side effects. Since there were no animal studies or long term human testing I have no idea whether he will experience antibody dependent enhancement response or some other autoimmune disease or neurological disorder. Every governmental institution we taxpayers funded failed us. Prayers for patience, discernment and strength as we go forward, onward and upward. Again, thank you!
Does your husband believe court documents and records from the legislature? Maybe provide him with the source documents that the media are ignoring.
Many thanks for the encouraging words.
I am that “friend”! “Steadfast” it is! Keep the Faith! Thank you Sundance and Godspeed!
THERE is only ONE issue that matters right and it supersedes everything else.. COMMUNIST make the voting LAWS and COUNT the votes.. Until that is fixed it’s all irrelevant communism will remain.. Nothing else matters nothing..
But facing such startling reality would then require drastic action.
Action, as in action.
Steadfast…thank you!!
Faith won’t carry us until 2024 if we don’t fight back. By fighting back I don’t mean with blog and social media posts.
We past the tipping point decades ago and have been on the down slope to complete destruction since. Our forefathers would have been in the streets fighting for our Republic decades ago.
MH, I can feel and understand your frustration but I’m not 100% sure I agree with you. The left is in a desperate mess right now. Joe Biden’s mental decline I believe is shocking even those who thought they could prop him up long enough to allow for a smooth transition to somebody that they were grooming on the sidelines. Just 40 days in is too early to tell the American people that the man they elected is unfit for duty when they spent a year assuring people that he was. That would give even more credibility to the election fraud case, since if they were less than truthful on his mental capacity, what else were they hiding. I am sure that there is plenty of hand wringing right now, playing out the hand before them.
Intent on satisfying the Sanders socialist branch, Biden’s team has further alienated more of the hard working Americans who now I’m sure are looking more carefully at what Trump did for American. Gas prices will only skyrocket into the summer. All told, Democrats and the Republican establishment are only cementing an electorate that falls more deeply in love with the man they so reprehensibly hate.
In a way I’m sure that they are desperately pushing God fearing Americans to do exactly what you are suggesting. Then, they will have a distraction that they so desperately need. They need the spotlight to be turned off of them and back onto those horrible Trump supporters. Then, out of the light and into the darkness they will resume again their hideous agenda of hate and destruction.
DD
They want to engineer another January 6th but on a much, much larger scale. That is why despite a lack of evidence they continue the ‘domestic terrorist” narrative. That is why they continue with the over the top language, de-platforming and the constant claims of “privilege” and “supremacy” and all their hate-filled rhetoric That is why we have to think and act strategically. It is not fear. It is prudence.
Prudence is how we got to where we are. In a truly free country the people would have been in the streets after they passed the Patriot Act. Prudence is why conservatives never fight back. Prudence is why thousands of small businesses are bankrupt, Prudence is how they are destroying a generation of kids with covid lock downs.
Prudence is why in a few short months your 2A will be wiped out.
Prudence is an excuse to not do what’s actually needed. But at least you’ll be able to those standing with you in food lines that you were prudent.
And we wonder why republicans are so weak……
So true. Can’t argue my friend. God help us with wisdom when there are no easy answers.
DD
Where did I say we should do nothing? It really does help to read what others post before preening at them. You may want to check what I have said on the matter of action.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/01/nra-warns-members-joe-biden-extreme-gun-control-measures-coming/
Say goodbye to your 2A
You articulated my fear and where I see all this going so perfectly. Cooler heads really need to prevail in such a powder keg of a situation.
Really the only way out of the mess we are in here in Canada and also in the US is for all Godly men and women to engage in serious prayer. Not just quickly mutterd prayers but humble repentance prayers.
To the cross I shall cling. The world is such a mess.
Biden and the liberals are right where they want to be. If you can’t see that I don’t believe I’ll be able to help you see it. If you need to help Americans see that Biden is unfit for office the ship is already sunk.
They are not pushing God fearing Americans to do anything. Covid already proved Americans are weak and unwilling to fight for liberty.
The only problem we have is weakness and the people who try to sell us on the idea that weakness is strength.
People already know what Trump did for America which is why he was overwhelmingly reelected. However weakness is why we allowed Joe Biden to steal the election. Only a fool would believe they won’t be emboldened by that theft and continue and or escalate election fraud in the future.
Blatant election fraud was the final straw and we let them get away with it.
Try to remember it’s WE THE PEOPLE who are responsible to keep our Republic and keep our liberty. All I hear from you and others is how we should wait for someone else to take care of OUR responsibility.
How anyone can say the American people won’t stand for this or that after the Covid bullshit is beyond belief.
People are brainwashed. They know not what they do. God, help us all!
Perfectly stated. Those that keeping speaking about ‘strategy’ don’t posit suggestions. I’m certain strategy is and has been used all along and yet, here we are. I do believe that if complacency and fear in our population continues, we will be doomed.
Men and women decades past would never have rolled over and submitted the way our citizens have this past year. I am incensed every day I go out, and I’m in Texas, how the sheeple continue to wear the face diaper. I am almost always the only one that refuses to wear this symbol of submission
I have prepared myself that we will have to experience a lot of pain before the sheeple wake up and see what’s at stake. The fact that the election was blatantly stolen with no consequences, and let’s face it, very little push back considering the magnitude of such a treasonous act.
Sadly, all the years of propaganda has successfully damaged too many minds. The American spirit needs to be visibly revived by being an example. Start by taking the face diaper off and give others the courage to do so as well. It’s a symbol of submission; stop giving the enemy control.
If the ENEmedia and Hollyweird weren’t all on board with the Communist COUP, the sheeple might somehow wake up. How anybody continues to trust those hyenas, I’ll never know.
We must UNITE as AMERICANS. These grandstanding idiots always take the easy (low) road, using glossy sound bites and prancing with naked Emperors. They use cancel culture (peer pressure) and censorship to bend the masses to their evil will.
Down is up.. Right is wrong.. Gender is a feeling. And now they have.. drumroll please.. safe building seals of approval?
Now Comrades, back to our regular programming about Black history and women’s empowerment.
Our enemies can plan for every contingency but nothing ever goes as planned. When the war starts it’s anybody’s guess how it ends. We have God on our side as well as patriotic Americans that love this country and are willing to do anything to ensure it’s survival.
IMO, some of it, the lack of action, is superpower comfort, something past periods of conflict didn’t battle for the attention of the citizenry. Average citizens are too comfortable, even if a bit uncomfortable due to the incursions on freedom, rights and standard of living by the Covid-19 op.
I could be wrong but I’m viewing the current period as the calm before the storm. There’s a huge financial storm brewing IMO and if .gov jizzing money at everything in sight doesn’t stave it off and it does hit, the 2008-2012 period and 9/11 will seem like pleasant memories in comparison. Once people have little to lose and that perception of comfort and safety is gone, then it’ll get real.
I agree with you. I wish it didn’t have to get to that point. But if the sweaty frogs don’t understand they are brainwashed to remain in the pot, then they will accept the inevitable, and rationalize to themselves that WE are the ones at fault when that pot goes to boil.
They just don’t get it. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
“Right now people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope.”
^^^THIS^^^
And, when you spot those operating from courage, acknowledge that courage for they will certainly take arrows of hate.
Yes. Do not censor those who have the courage to speak up. Scroll by those you don’t wish to engage, and remember that censorship works *both* ways.
Thank you !
There are a lot of us out here. But many families & friends are not here yet.
We will win.
God will win. We may not like the path to salvation. But it will be well worth the trouble in the end.
Thank you always for your wise words and support.
What is missing in the institutions is what is present here: prayer. Now I know what makes CTH so special
That’s a good point, and a reminder of one offered often to me as a young man by a father of faith, and to me he left a marked reminder of that faith, a little leather pouch with a simple rosary in it, one he carried with him daily as a soldier in WW2. I’ve often been a skeptic but can’t deny the power of his faith got him through a lot in life, much I’ll likely never fully comprehend. Accepted.
This is beautifully written and a worthy reminder of why the things that are important to us are important to us.
Maybe it is because I live in such a blue city but I don’t see any veils lifting. It would be reassuring if I did.
I am grateful for all of you here and especially Sundance of course.
I, too live in a blue city. I remind myself daily to separate myself from this evil generation, have faith that God walks with you and be the brave, righteous soul who does what others cannot. Sundance’s words help immensely.
Thank You Last Refuge!
I watched a short video about three sixteen year old girls living in Holland during WWII Nazi occupation.
They joined the Underground Resistance. They sometimes wore disguises, and became very proficient with guns.
They sabotaged military equipment, killed Nazi soldiers and officers, and killed Dutch citizens who were spying for and helping the Nazis.
One was caught and executed. The soldier who was doing the execution hit her in the arm with the first shot.
She defiantly said……I am a much better shooter than you are…..the second shot killed her. Eighteen days after her execution the war was officially
over.
What many fail to comprehend is that our lives here are on loan from God. We are eternal beings who need not fear physical death, for those who have faith in Him are already saved. It is not a physical, but a spiritual death that ultimately destroys us.
If people lived by those words, they would always seek to do what’s right, even at great personal cost and sacrifice. Those who seek His face as they trek through the desert receive manna from Heaven.
This is one of those essays that I will bookmark forever! Thank you so much!
…“because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system”
Thank you Sundance for all you do to keep us focused. The enemy loves chaos and thrives on fear. May we all remain steadfast in faith and trust in Almighty God.
Prudence and wisdom.
Well, here it is:

Retired Magistrate here: Went to our small church down the road yesterday. About 10 people were there; no one wearing masks. People singing, having fellowship and praising the LORD.
Currently, we are studying the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Basically Daniel is about how Daniel stayed true to his values when the whole society he was placed into was immoral. Not only did Daniel thrive, but leaders looked to him for advice through three different regime changes. It has been a very enlightening study and very appropriate for today.
So after church yesterday I welcomed Spring in my own way. I know a little early, but the ice and snow have melted for now and underneath all that is green grass and bulbs poking their heads up. I got out my artificial spring flowers (which look real) and put them in my urns throughout the yard and up on the deck. Cleaned up sticks and limbs and in general tidied up what I could. Can’t put out real flowers yet because it is too cold and besides the deer (and we have many) would eat them.
Also, I walk everyday down our road. Wave to everyone (my way of thanking them for not running me down) and smile. Most people wave and smile back. It is a little thing, but maybe that is the only smile some people will see all day. My husband and I visit our neighbors to see if they are OK and in general attempt to spread Christ’s love.
Just do what you can do to bring cheer into someone’s life today. It will make them feel better and you will feel great. Covid lockdowns have made a lot of people very self centered and selfish; please don’t be one of them.
Thanks.
Even in my solid blue suburb a few towns from Boston, the neighbors in my little area have gotten a lot friendlier over the COVID-1984 debacle. Still a few take their walks with masks, but at this point a majority don’t bother – we all smile, we all wave…
Some of them even seem to recognize me from a driveway concert we put on for the neighborhood in the spring last year. I hope to do that again. It was something nice in the middle of all the lockdown craziness.
Patriot Gear sells a mask that says “Covid-1984.” I ordered one to wear when I can’t get out of it.
I have asthma, so I need to breathe freely regardless of the rhetoric. These continued lockdowns and restrictions are madness, and that’s the reason I am moving to Florida.. a free ??state.
Thank you for a very warm personal story and it spreads joy again thank you, may God bless you and your family.
Thank you for the inspiration. During one of the toughest seasons of my life my Bible study group did a Bible study named “Steadfast Love” which focused on Psalm 107. Even though wrestled with the world Steadfast many times throughout the study we never came to as wonderful of a definition of steadfast as you did.
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Pslam 107:1
chatter will do nothing
Thank you Sundance. I Needed this.
I wonder how many will die from Trump’s “medical miracle” before 2024 ever gets here.
The Dems carry out mass killings via abortion, calling it “women’s health.” The GOP carries out mass killings via vaccines, calling it “public health.”
Sundance I’d love to see you do a deep dive on mRNA vaccines and then explain why Trump would tout them?
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him. Ps 28:7
We are in the midst of a great spiritual battle. So pray up, suit up, and show it. God and one person is a majority and we are far more than just one. All truth is God’s truth. Keep pushing the truth and eventually the dam of lies will break.

Just keep pushing what you think is the envelope and I think you will be surprised to learn it wasn’t that at all.
Very well said and thank you for the encouraging words Sundance. These two paragraphs really hit home for me and I see how people have become fearful, resentful, suspicious, angry, depressed and don’t know how to deal with the loneliness and separation on a continual daily basis.-
“The fraud within the phrase “social distancing” not only creates distance between us but also creates a void of loneliness within the soul. Into this void of isolation, fear takes hold and becomes toxic. Thus the true value of fellowship is more important than ever.”
“Right now everything around us seems less focused on the pursuit of happiness and more focused on what happiness we are missing. At the heart of that anxiety is this sense of foreboding. A choking sense of fear and worry; a sense of trepidation.”
“Faith in a loving and purposeful God is now more important than ever, embrace it” – share it.
Thank you so very much for providing the tree house, an oasis of comfort, strength, faith and intelligence.
Those who saw my story about my one-day suspension from teaching on Page 1 of the “Resistance” topic will understand that this FEAR, this constant drumbeat of “PROTECT OTHERS! WEAR A MASK! STAY 6 FEET APART! DON’T BREATHE TOO MUCH! DON’T SING TOO LOUDLY!” is everywhere!
And therefore, our government and our institutions are pushing most of all, DON’T have faith, or hope, or display any kind of Christian bravery!
Stay FEARFUL! FEAR will keep us alive! Acting like idiots will save us…
… from a virus with a death rate near zero per cent!
I am *not* afraid, for I walk with God. Souls who are afraid are often placed in my path, and I try to ease their fears. Often they are people preparing to die, but now there are also many who are terrified to live.
My daily prayer always concludes, “God, if it be Thy will, make me an instrument of your peace.” ✨
Excellent:yes, “terrified to live” is on target as the description of too many people today.
Here is an article that will be smart to bookmark and revisit once a week or so…whenever I need that figurative slap across the cheek …”Snap out of it!“
Nothing on earth controls you! In the darkest hour it’s you that rises, it’s you who looks up, you who stands up and walks forward into your life.
My Anchor Holds
I have journeyed
Through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
Why I keep coming back all these years ❤️
Thank you very much Sundance. Finding the Treehouse only recently I discovered an uplifting site. Even though content makes me feel woozy it feels right and refreshing. Yours verililily trulililily a native South Carolina slave of Nikki H. Y’all can have her. Contempt
Our unwavering faith is with our Lord Jesus Christ, Donald Trump & Sundance. They All Will Be Protected under Our Prayers. We Keep our doors open for you always. God Bless. Blade
God bless you Sundance!! I’m so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful group where there is a genuine love for God, country and our fellow brothers and sisters. This is living the gospel
This post was inspiring Sundance. Thank you always for your DEEP understanding. My compass is restored whenever I see the woman with the long red flowing hair looking out at the ocean. Calms my frustration immensely. Reminds me that it is time to go back to my center. Friends of long ago and far away now, have communicated with me lately. We don’t talk about the olden days, but about what we perceive THESE days. What a gift today that a friend said you might be labeled as a subversive. Want to send comfort and joy to anyone who has lost their livelihood re this “plan-demic.” Reading a post here tonight reminded me of how many times I thought my life was over when I had to quit a job to stay intact in my spirit. I really do know the darkness and fear that comes with losing livelihood. I never surrendered my spirit , although the temptation to do so was mighty. Never surrender! This shows my age, “You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the SUN. You have a Right to BE Here.”
As I read this post, Sundance. I could hear Rush Limbaugh quoting your words. Thank you for timely encouragement!
Thank You Sundance, for putting into words what few if any could. That being said, it’s almost the end now, the true end,our Lords return. He is much closer then most know, even right at the door. This I know beyond any doubt.
those of us who believe in God Almighty have to have faith and accept that He put us here; at this particular moment; surrounded by the people we’re surrounded by; for His purpose. it may not be obvious to us now (i know it’s not to me) but His Will will be done. Amen
We have been promoted from irredeemables and deplorables to domestic terrorists. They wish to send us to special camps and “re-educate us” and make us wear special symbols. Well treat me like a domestic terrorist and I’ll show you what I learned overseas from real terrorists.
