It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong and push back against the lies and manipulations. If you look closely at the attack, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed. You might ask yourself how I can, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
Simple answer, it’s your choice. Two wolves fight – one filled with despondency, isolation, despair and dark imaginings; the other filled with faith, something bigger, unrelenting hope, focus and driven to remain connected. Which wolf will win? The one you feed.
Shake it off. “Get up, get back on your feet, you are the one they can’t beat, and you know it.” WATCH:
The point? It ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.
And here we are… divided by a network of seemingly intoxicating systems; many purposefully driven by the modern dynamic of social media, steering a tribal outcome we are only now just beginning to fathom.
Ultimately the collective weight of progressive leftism is putting us is isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God. Defeat it by embracing Him.
In/around July 2020 it was obvious in my travels we were on the precipice of a disconnect from human interaction that would numb our psyche to what ultimately matters, fellowship.
Not only are various governmental agencies forcing the separation of people from their community networks, we were also seeing faith-based organizations, churches, buying into the fear.
Even in areas where churches were not forcibly shut down, we saw a structural shift where some faith leaders were willingly ostracizing their community under the guise of various medical, social and cultural alarms.
This is not good…. not good at all.
Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each-other is how and why we recharge our core humanity.
To see faith leaders willing to separate from the function of fellowship was alarming. However, as individuals we must not allow this foreboding sense to become the normal expectation.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.
Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies including congregations. It is puzzling how many in leadership cannot see the danger in social and spiritual distance when the bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.
Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.
The influence of social media is already troublesome, physically distancing from human engagement only worsens the impact. There is no digital replacement for the true fellowship of humanity on a personal level.
Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.
We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment… Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.
With local, state and federal leaders moving increasingly toward self-interest; with disconnected workplaces creating social distance; with faith-based leaders unfocused on the value of fellowship; and now government entering your home to tell you the importance of separating yourself from your family we must dispatch these arbitrary decrees very deliberately.
Perhaps we are in this position today because we didn’t sit still enough and contemplate the real priorities in our lives. Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life.
I will not divide my humanity, nor concede my core view of fellowship, simply to comply with the demand of another that I consider my brother or sister of greater or less value than myself. Any system that seeks to steer my path will not benefit from my participation. I choose freedom!
My f**king choice…
Our Liberty is inherent.
Our freedom is inherent.
The removal of both requires consent.
I choose not to disconnect.
I choose purpose.
I choose my own humanity.
I believe in a generous loving God.
My faith stands.
Love to all,
~ Sundance
pretend – you see PDJT’s strategy as an organizer of people in local locations to show they have numbers and are not alone – and that protesting is possible in large numbers.
might give you a reason to see its not over – and PDJT has the winning strategy – a STANDOFF not an election.
In our consumerist society, we are sold on products that work.
When they don’t work, we turn away, and seek out a similar product that does work.
So when we fight a system, and we feel that it isn’t working for us, our consumer instinct is to turn away.
But in our case, we are witnessing State Capture, where our government at the highest levels, has turned against us and we have to FIGHT IT, legally and lawfully.
But not just legally, but as consumers, and as citizens.
It feels odd to us. Our instinct is turn away, but in this case, we can’t.
you fight by utilzing any cover you have to organize and surround ….
the election is the cover. Kari – spending a year talking of her steal, PDJT – same. gathering and gathering numbers in each county. so each county can protest together.
the ballot box is your cover – not the single solution. Brazil is the solution.
would be cool if PDJT started a national boycott webpage or commenting weekly. Target the power you are referencing on a single target at a time.
There are three big problems with boycotts. Sometimes they work anyway, but here’s my list.
That said most corporations do want to please their customers. And boycotts can sometimes work wonderfully.
yes – Pick boycotts that would be Strategic for your group also (dont hurt them with single item products)
but once u identifiy the #1 above – START pointing to a parrellel economy – build ANOTHER
So much appreciation for this incredible message you give us today, Sundance.
My faith was shaken the night of Trump’s announcement, but the war continues and I am ready to do more. As I keep reminding myself and those in our inner circle, it’s not like we can unlearn or unknow all the things that we do know and have learned. Backwards is simply not an option.
An ACT OF LOVE is sharing this wisdom spoken by Sundance……
Absolutely lovely, Sundance. Thank you.
The deliberate attempts to cause fear and division between one group people and another seem to be happening all over the world. The corroding influence of the WEF has worked its way deep into our society. I was particularly affected/outraged by this article I read this morning. What is the world coming to?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/report-canadian-doctor-says-college-physicians-surgeons-ontario-suggests-unvaccinated-patients-mentally-put-psychiatric-medication-video/
Articles like this one, is better suited for rags like National Enquirer. Absurd headlines staring at you at the grocery checkout line.
If only it were as absurd as it deserves to be.
One of the things that God hates according to Scripture (and there are only a handful of such things) is a person who stirs up dissension among brothers….
These scoffers, dividers and haters have condemned themselves by their actions. May they repent and receive the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ before they are eternally condemned to hell.
Power to the People! Thank you, Sundance!
Styx always had something to say.
Do people know about the River Styx?

Oh my God, worst song ever!!
So many, many great post… This one is my favorite.
Thank you sir. America needs this.
Sundance, thank you for saying it so well.
All week I’ve been utterly discouraged watching just about every “conservative” blog/website I visit and comment on go all “jazz hands and jimmy legs” at the prospect of Trump running again. It just gave me the feeling that the last 20 years starting with the Tea Party were a waste of time. I just don’t want to go back to step one and fight the same squishes who are resurrecting their old “LOTE” and “hold your nose” arguments when Trump has been leading a steamroller across the landscape and building a formidable machine. Now all of these “conservatives” are going to join in with the Never Trump establishment and and wreck the steamroller ? I didn’t expect that “our side” would be that weak.
But this post has inspired me to take a different approach than I was leaning. The message in this post has inspired me. I’ve been leaning in this direction but I didn’t know how to say it. Now I do. I hope Trump reads this and watches the video. Great stuff. MAGA baby!!
Keep in mind that plenty of such comments are nothing but paid FUD.
Sundance, a Big Thank You for this article! Living here in PA has its issues. With dominion machines we also lost the state house as well. Somehow this mail in nonsense has to stop. Nothing but positivity from me though. Thanks again for the Moral Boost. Blessings
Very good message! Thank you!
Sidney, your weekly email on Good News Friday is another source besides CTH that helps me a lot!
Thanks for all you do…

We are grownups. Its long past time to act that way and call the evil out for what it is. As has been stated here many times, there are more of us than them.

He most certainly has no clue what he is asking, or trying to do.
Amen.

At one time, it goes back to similar days,
someone with some styx
sung something similar, about ourselves,
to the song sung by the instrumental band and Tommy Shaw.
Thank you Treehouse for sharing the message abroad. Let it be shared…
When listening, here are the lyrics
(with an embedded passion of God, seeing us, working with us, god’s children, sending us messages…. )
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You’re a troubled young man I can tell
You’ve got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand’s wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
And you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
You’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
You’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
You’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You’re the one they can’t beat and you know it
Come on, let’s see what you’ve got
Just take your best shot and don’t blow it
You’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
You’re killing yourself if you don’t believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You’re the one they can’t beat and you know it
Come on, let’s see what you’ve got
Just take your best shot and don’t blow it ….
The styx version:
[ sometimes, a little extra volume to the sound, helps the messaging to sink in between the ears and into the hearts … : ) ]
Love thy neighbors
Finally , brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
Whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think on these things. Philippians 4:8
If God seems to be far from us it’s because he’s waiting for for us to reach out to him with our whole heart. He loves the sound of of a faith filled prayer.
We walk by faith not by sight.
He is the lifter of my head. Look up ⬆️.
“ Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.”
Right on Sundance. I am practicing this to the best of my ability despite some discordance in my family.
Thank you for the last days here on the Treehouse.
You are a national treasure.
Love.
In my life, there is always discordance in my family, but, they are still family.
And, in my senior years, I have lost each member of my family of origin, including my only sibling.
My family is now all extended through my son, his wife and their children.
There is still discordance. But through it all, they are family. My people to help survive, thrive and succeed in their goals.
Ladies and gentlemen, WE are surrounded. Our land has been given away in the name of diversity. Your children have laid their own history down in shame. Europe will fall soon. We can pray until we’re blue in the face. The time has come to pick up a rock.
I would suggest (in between praying and smiling at the enemy) you purchase a gun and make sure everyone in your home, aged 12 and above, can load, unload and fire that weapon skillfully.
That’s all right, and all great, but they’re more likely to starve & freeze us to death than to come at us with a direct frontal assault.
I just listened to a wealthy ex-banker who is buying his fourth freezer. He’s planning for the days when the grocery shelf does not have what you are looking for. He recommends some stocks, some gold, some silver, some cash, some land. But he is preparing for scarcity and rationing. Preparing for those requires also preparing to safeguard your preparations from marauders and violent others.
God bless you Sundance and all other treepers out there who give me hope when I need it most.
Wise words to follow in Biden’s USA, in Trudeau’s Canada, in Sunak’s UK, in Eva’s the Netherlands and so on.
There are few areas in the West where the alert freedom loving citizenry is not under the continued pressures and irritations of the crazed left and the controlling manipulations of the WEF megalomaniacs or being betrayed by a compromised, unreliable opposition party. ie the GOP in U.S.; CPC in Canada; the Cons. in the UK et al.
When a reliable political opposition is in reach and a way out of the madness is possible like it was in Arizona (Kari); in NY (Zeldin) and so on, the election process is flawed and compromised or a majority of voters are incapable of voting in their best interests.
The endless politically based prosecutions and other malicious attacks that President Trump is faced with are in a special category of sustained evil but some Americans including alleged Conservatives still blame P Trump for the constant tension and agitation.
I have in-laws, who call themselves conservatives, who have expressed the sentiment that they are hesitant to vote for Trump because they blame him for the stress, tension, fiasco and torment that the IC’s and MSM created out of whole cloth and laid at his feet….
The only response I could give them is that some things are worth fighting for….
I left out the part that the communists (lawless consequentialists, organized criminals) that Trump and the rest of us are fighting will not only steal their children, starve them to death and commit mass genocide in order to gain and/or retain power, but that these are their NORMAL methods of evil-doing whenever they have power….
Some people really cannot allow themselves to see obvious, historical truth when such truth causes fear within them. They wholesale reject the truth in order to avoid feeling fear…. it is textbook denialism and it is massively destructive.
Godspeed to us all – and love beyond measure.
Thank you Sundance, this was a very timely read.
Sundance, WE WILL WIN! I feel it in my bones! The death they have wished upon us is coming for them, they just don’t know it yet.
In case anyone is wondering, I have admin approval to post this.
Go away Rick Santorum, the fresh face of GOP treachery.
There are several truths that are not a gamble, one is, it always looks worse than it is.
Truth is from
God only
God once revealed it destroys lies. As light destroys dark.
We can change things, period.
Pride before a fall.
The enemy always gives you the means of his defeat.
The house should keep sending bills to oppose every Dem idea. Make each dem vote on them and if it reaches the president make him veto it. Refuse to provide money for any bills that promote the left’s agenda, even if it closes down the government. The media will attack but no matter what they say, the results will be no worse then what is coming economically. Refuse to fund anything for Ukraine without money for the border. Make sure to bring to a vote anything such as energy bills in order for the dems to put their name on each one as the energy prices rise. Hold fast to the purse strings regardless of the media attacks.
Great ideas.
Another idea would be to call every new MAGA Congressman (which in good grammar traditionally includes the women) and make these suggestions.
Trump Gravity….
If I could stand
beside myself
would I see me or maybe someone else
because it’s hard to please most everyone
when your spirits got you on the run, on the run
They say do your best, but don’t cause a fuss
Don’t make waves, be like the rest of us
But I can feel the tide is turning fast
and deep inside I know that I can’t last
another day, NOT another day
Because I’m O.K. I finally found the person I’ve been searching for
I’m all right, I’m feeling good about myself and that’s for sure.
‘Cause I believed them when they said I must do things their way
Tried to cast me in their mold, but I just had to say,
I’m O.K. I’m O.K. this way, yes I’m O.K. Yes I’m O.K.
I’m O.K. is another great Styx tune from the Pieces of Eight album and quite appropriate after the election.
(fantastic pipe organ solo as well)
Prepare for scarcity and rationing. Prepare to protect your preparations. But, first, last and in between, do not comply. Throw sand in the gears when you can. What they have planned for us is unimaginable suffering, do not comply. It may not be clear what form comes next, but it will not be for our best and they will not stop. Do not comply. When the propaganda and the narratives and the messaging no longer works and we do not comply, they will try other things. Do not comply. Anyone who has worked with a stubborn child or a stubborn animal understands that eventually they wear you out. Do not comply. We did not know covid shutdowns, masking and distancing were about control. Now, we know that. Do not comply. If nobody complies, eventually they will stop.
…spoke the whisper into the windstorm
But your heart is true…
Thanks SD. I needed that today.
Thank you, Sundance. The Maricopa mess really gave me exasperation, a feeling of hopelessness. Your article today revived my thinking….especially the talk about the two wolves. You’re correct….we need to stay in the fight with vigor, determination and righteousness. No quitting, no giving up.
In the most evenly divided time politically in US, Republicans were served an way midterm win…some would say a landslide.
But what happened?
Supreme Court ruling on abortion, lack of trust in election process and some poor choices in the Party primaries.
Republicans need to take champion issues US legal citizens are concerned with.
Stop with this… we all know the elections were stolen in several states…. Do not lend legitimacy to lies.
President Trump has not lost any sort of tether.
His tether is to the truth.
The Colonials overthrew a monarchy by getting together over beer at their local pubs. Today we have the very same pubs, plus more.
for real?
Sadly…no…we are no longer clodhoppers hawing and geeing along behind our trusty farting mules eeking out an existence..and the pubs are no more…..perhaps when the population scorners get their way and most of us all kill one another for the others food supply…in the aftermath of that…shall the pubs giving birth to freedom once again produce it….but for now we have the “progressives”…may God spare us from what we have wrought….
Bye Bye Miss American Pie….stop the steal…
I knew Sundance would post this when he saw it! 🙂
This article encouraged me so much. Giving Thanks for Sundance and the TreeHouse community.
Not a correction but more of a reminder…. not only is our Liberty inherent, it is also unalienable…. it cannot be surrendered, revoked or rescinded any more than our personal duties and responsibilities can be…. All these things come from God, not government… and in no world or reality can these things be legitimately separated from the individual…
Consent to allow them to be violated/ignored, un-exercised is NOT the same as “giving them away”…
Sundance rightly says ” …the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God. Defeat it by embracing Him.” So, as a reminder… we embrace God ONLY by putting our faith in the shed blood of His Son Jesus Christ as the necessary payment for our sins against a Holy God.
There is no other path to embracing God, there is no other way to embrace God…. and anyone who presents another path (a false gospel) is leading you astray and towards idols and false gods….. which ultimately ends in destruction. Watch and pray and take heed that you are not deceived.
