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; and 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 viewed his appearance with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.
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 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 advocate and 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.

Ecclesiastes 3:8
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
Let’s Hope We’re not too Late
I keep asking myself why does Trump want us in DC on Jan. 6th? A show of force will not sway the electors to change their minds when voting that day. The electors will go in that day with their minds made up. And the SWAMP RATS don’t give a lick about what we thing. I believe that there will be something else happening that will be a major event, that Trump wants us to see and hear.
I too feel something will be revealed on Jan 6 by President Trump or his attorneys But cannot get my head around what it could be . I can only pray about this. One thing for certain I am confident our great President Trump will be inaugurated on Jan 20.
Interesting that he called it a protest, not a rally. He also said it would be wild.
I am not afraid, but I also don’t feel like I am going to a rally. I realize the mood is quite different and will likely get more tense over the next 10 days. I am prepared for it to good or bad wild. Whatever it takes.
Hopefully, he wants us there to walk away from the dems and Reps to a new 3rd party. I want him to drop a MOAB on Mitch. Mitt, and Lindsey. I want him to say,
“Hey folks, I changed my mind on Loffler and Purdue. Did you see their shady stock deals? Well, guess what! Mitch and the FBI now own the both of them. They are puppets. I want you to write in the names Don Trump and Ivanka Trump for those races. Show Mitch and the gang how many of us are out here. My friends in both parties are hopelessly corrupt. Walkaway with me. Eff the GOP. Eff the DNC. Maga B1tches!”
My vision is that DC is surrounded by Constitutionally appropriate militias to keep the Patriots safe, as we bear *witness* to taking out the garbage -and draining that swamp- in one fell swoop.
All white hats are enlisted in this effort. No more screwing around.
Americans will put down this TREASONOUS COUP, once and
for all! We have all the evidence we will ever need, to make it happen. No more tyranny on our watch!
Unless we are in on the action, our primary role will be to chant:
USA??USA??USA??
so they can hear it in Chi-NAH. Call it the SHOUT heard round the world.
Judy
The white hats left the building a long time ago. We are on our own
If we believe that President Trump is truly the best president in our lifetimes regarding his dedication to American Constitutional principles as well as respecting the Christian principles under which this nation was founded…then we need not ask why, we need only to reply in the affirmative and be there as he has requested.
On January 6, it will quickly become evident to those who have obliged the President the reasons why we were summoned.
Amen
The three tenets that separate a Judeo/Christian nation from a communist nation:
This is what FREE MAN fight to preserve. That is what ENSLAVERS want to take away.
Call it communism, globalism, socialism….whatever ism suits your teachings. In the end, it is about men enslaving other men.
It is interesting that you mention property. Probably the most famous phrase of the Declaration of Independence is “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The phrase in the Declaration is Thomas Jefferson’s original draft that was edited into final form by the “Committee of Five”, consisting of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, and Jefferson. All of these men were very familiar with the works of John Locke, from whose ideas this phrase had its roots.
Locke believed that political society existed to protect a person’s “life, liberty, and estate”, meaning a person’s property, both intellectual and real. But that did not sound so uplifting, so Jefferson switched happiness for estate. But doing so was not inconsistent with Locke’s views. He believed that a person’s happiness was best achieved through the pursuit of property, through which a person could achieve personal independence, freedom, and security, for himself and his family, rather than being dependent upon more powerful persons who might take away those things at any time.
It is thought that Jefferson and the others did not limit “pursuit of happiness” to just property, but placing limits on the ability of the powerful to interfere with your property is an idea directly related to the concept of limited government. Of course, the communists and other isms you refer to all hate the idea of limited government and the idea of protecting your property. If they ever get their way in this country, you will have lost all hope of achieving true happiness.
Igor Shafarevich writes of these three points to explain the origins of “socialism” which – as a form of feudalism- dates back to before Christ.
With respect to property, the idea of ownership and due process commence with the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta was introduced during the era of King John, the son of Eleonor and Richard the Lionhearted. The people were simply fed up and protested to the Abusive King. Over the years, the Magna Carta idea developed, rights of individuals grew as feudalism was seen for what it is- slavery.
To your point, consider the careful structure and wording of the Fifth Amendment. It truly an amazing and sacred right that prohibits the government from taking YOU or “your stuff”, or entering your home without due process of law, ie a warrant. It is a massive body of law with details. But overall the idea that peasants and serfs went from BEING PROPERTY to OWNING PROPERTY is a breathtaking accomplishment in the human condition.
Then look at communists states- where warrantless entries are permitted, where no one has exclusive rights to their home, ownership in fee simple does not exist! The government owns the land, the children, and everything In between.
FYI: King John was the brother of Richard I, the Lionhearted, not his son. John’s father was Henry II.
Yes, I stand corrected. Henry II is the father. Henry had three sons, one was Richard the Lionhearted. All three severed as King for a period of time, the two elder sons died and then John, the youngest, became King. June 1215 was the signing of the Magna Carta which translates to “Great Charter.” Thank you for pointing that out.
Regarding the BATTLE OF HASTINGS…in1066! Imagine that. It would be another 149 years before a semblance of rights would surface onto paper in the form of the Magna Carta.
All quite true. John Locke was busy writing at the time of and in the years immediately after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. That was another time when fear was great of yet another King of England, this time James II, trying to take away individual rights. He busied himself abolishing Parliament, ruling by decree, and dismissing uncooperative judges, among other things. People feared he was trying to establish absolute rule by the monarchy (historians dispute this now, but it was a real fear at the time based on James’ actions). Things didn’t work out well for James, though at least he didn’t lose his head.
Locke’s First Treatise of Government, which hardly anyone reads now, was an argument against the notion of a divine right of kings and their right to absolute rule and the abuses that come with such government. His Second Treatise, which is still widely read, and some of his other writings, centered on protecting property and other individual rights. He died in 1701, but his works were well known to our Founders. It would be interesting to know what Locke would have thought of the American Revolution. I think that he and our Founders would have been absolutely horrified at what our federal government and many of our state and local governments have turned into today.
I agree with you. However, the “Irony” of the concept of “Ownership of Property” actually dates back to 1066…The Battle of Hastings and the Doctrine of Conquest. What we know here…our system of Private Ownership of Property…came about by one people Forcibly invading another, Killing & Raping them…until they surrendered in defeat…and then the Victor’s ways of doing things were imposed upon them…not exactly an example of Freedom.
Ploni in Jerusalem:
You are absolutely correct!
This is a war wage by real demons that have been let loose in multitudes from hell and are now in US soil. A war against Father GOD, JESUS Christ himself. This is beyond President Trump.
That is why PRAYER and FASTING EVERYDAY especially the 21 day period all the way to January 20, 2021 if you have not started yet. It must not be broken.
And if I may add, that is why the “The Prayer of Command” must be uttered everyday by everyone. The fact that 2 Catholic Exorcist priest have now come out for people to say it everyday tells you something of this kind of battle.
Hear, hear! So proud to stand here with you, Sundance and all of you patriot brothers and sisters. Keep the Faith!
This is what I read in my Quiet Time this morning from the Book of Nehemiah:
“[Bad actors] heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry. All of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause a disturbance in it.
But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night. ….
Our enemies said, “They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them or put a stop to the work.” When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, “They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,” then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows. When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people: “Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.“
Truth Unites, I love the book of Nehemiah. One way that it speaks to me is when Nehemiah states how this person built by his house and this man and his daughters worked on the wall by their house and all kept their weapons close by. When you read it, notice how the names are given. All scripture is God-breathed. He knew each of their names!!!! And He wanted us to know that each one was important to Him. And each one of us is too. He knows our names, we are important to Him. He hears our prayers.
Praying for our nation and our people to return to Him. Praying for our President and our Vice-President that God will pour out His favor on them and us again, that He will move in a mighty way on our behalf.
Apologies, but we are beyond the tipping point. Free and FAIR elections are a supposed cornerstone of our nation. If one side decides to abandon that concept, then “respect”, and “tolerance” are out the door.
America is long overdue for another shakeup beyond 2016. Look at some of the major powers: Germany, Russia, China. All have undergone the equivalent of a Civil War in the past 100 years. Read “Fate of Empires” by Sir Glubb Pasha. We are in the age of Decadence.
Unfortunately, we are running out of options. When the soap box is censored, when the ballot box is rigged, there is only one box left to open.
Fate of Empires is where I am at as well. When sensible white middle class people are preparing to “bug out” or have already left for a chosen place of safety, we’re way past any possible political solution and probably past any meaningful peaceful solution.
If the entire system is corrupted ie taken over by sinister forces, any solution quote unquote those same scum offer, from whatever quarter (even supposed opposition) is nothing more than yet another diversion or trap.
It’s terrible when it comes to this, but the china virus and the constant authoritarian overreach in its name is not accidental or unplanned. It is purposeful coercion to keep the white middle class asleep and compliant, distracted. Sports stopped working and even television / streaming services lost their almost universal power. That meant it was time for fear porn on a scale not seen since the cold war. And this time with their polished manipulation skills the puppetmasters have made it personal and terrifying. AIDS was the dry run for the china virus, the pervasive advertising, blatant untruths and all the rest.
The often cited Yuri Bezemenov lecture on subversion ends with his explanation of the only two things that genuinely restore something resembling the pre-subverted state: intervention by foreign armed forces or civil war. Terrible stuff.
I’d love to hear an alternative that isn’t just some form of surrender but have yet to see one offered.
Fate of Empires says- no other option. Hope he was wrong.
“two things that genuinely restore something resembling the pre-subverted state: intervention by foreign armed forces or civil war.”
England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688 was largely peaceful. Admittedly, enthroning William of Orange amounted to foreign intervention but it was directed and controlled by the English Parliament.
Nothing prevents the US states from convening a Constitutional Convention to oppose and correct the corrupt practices that now govern the festival.
fedgov for “festival”?!
Read about the Velvet Revolution in Eastern Europe. Peaceful Revolution when the people just got up and started walking towards the Capitol.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution
Great. When we become a communist dictatorship and all of games and circuses and related toys evaporate, maybe the propagandized lemmings here will do the same.
IOW American citizens haven’t suffered enough? I pray not! The entire world is suffering enough for all of us combined.
There must be a reckoning to save the free world from tyrants, whether we like it or not. And many of those tyrants are holed up right here inside the USA, cocooning themselves like a cancer within the very last stronghold of freedom and liberty in the world.
Germany, Russia, China, none of these nations are comparable to a 244 year old nation dedicated to a new form of government which is of the people and for the people.
The American experiment is unique and we are entering uncharted territory.
I submit that we are not in the stage of decadence, but rather in perhaps the normalization phase of a CCP psyop. These are the phases:
1) demoralization; this is the result of the relentless infiltration of and coarsening of the culture since at least the 1950s
2) disorientation (that was the virus)
3) normalization (wear your mask comrade)
4) submission (passively accept a fraudulent election)
But we are not going to accept a fraudulent election!
We need to help people wake up and realize a normal life is thisclose if we simply discard the illusions that are stoking fear and causing us to wreck our OWN economy, which is intrinsically robust.
State the truth. “There is no such thing as asymptomatic spread, a study came out. Live your life, God gave you this life.”
While I agree there is much psyop going on I must point out that we are indeed in a stage of decadence and have been for some time. Abortion with its millions of casualties, “entertainment” with the filth produced via TV/movies/music, harassment and persecution of christians, desecration/burning of our churches are all ongoing and the perpetrators are gaining boldness and backing.
The useful idiots also have their VACCINE now, right? So why continue this charade at all?
Everybody should go about their normal lives sans masks. If anybody has an objection, tell them to go get a vaccine and ?
Ivermectin. $2 worth of pills. COVID-19 spread ends in a few weeks. But there’s no money or government control in that, right? Latest study shows that COVID-19 immunity fades in 6 months… so how many times will the vaccines need to be taken?
Listen to the entire 8 minute video because here’s just a snippet:
“We just came across a trial last night from Argentina by the lead investigator of Ivermectin in Argentina, Dr. Hector Carvajal. They prophylaxised 800 health care workers, not one got sick. In the 400 that they did not prophylaxis [with] Ivermectin, 58 percent got sick, 237 of those 400 got sick. If you take it you will not get sick.”
Dr. Pierre Kory, Associate Professor of Medicine at St. Luke’s Aurora Medical Center in Milwaukee, testified December 8, 2020 at the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgOAaLmoa68
In the mean time, here’s the mostly over-the-counter prophylaxis by the same group of MDs who have collectively written nearly 2,000 peer reviewed medical studies:
https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/Marik-Covid-Protocol-Summary.pdf
I understand this @Winston, but we will never get all these frightened sheeple to listen to reason.
I am taking HCQ & Zinc as prophylaxis and I have Ivermectin on hand as well. A recent study suggests that Ivermectin is even better as a prophylaxis than as an early treatment.
But back to the masses who are clamoring instead for a vaccine: Now they got their “95% effective” vaccine, so no more excuses! OPEN UP and get a life already!!
When do we prove that our Constitutional Republic is not an experiment??
To whom do we need to prove that we are not temporary in nature?? Was the Civil War not enough to demonstrate that our Republic is permanent?
Let’s recall that it was the Europeans who considered us an experiment and awaited the time to overtake us with their old ways, proving their superiority.
I place the question before us: is it not the same Europeans who are formulating this NWO, this “Great Reset?” Is it not their leadership trying to orchestrate other countries against us? When they once used The Americans as the policemen of the world, are they now not using another nation for the same goal??
If we resolve within ourselves that we are indeed a permanent Constitutional Repubiic, then we know that the criminals are temporary in nature and that with God’s help we will succeed in overcoming their schemes.
Simply because they were clever in disguising themselves and the depth of their organization does not mean they cannot be removed. It does not mean we cannot restore to the Foundational Institutions and Goals. It merely means that we were temporarily blind.
We are blind no more. We will overcome. We are permanent.
Agree. We have known freedom, we must defend this precious heritage.
People in many countries are praying for us to stand firm for the God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A world without America would be a dark place.
Fate of Empires is a very short read. It won’t be a happy read, but it’s a necessary read. Decadence is where we’re at.
“If one side decides to abandon that concept, then “respect”, and “tolerance” are out the door.”
Excuse me, but have you not been listening? Two sides of the same coin have colluded to abandon the concept. The problem is not the Left but the corrupt bastid Bushies on the right. Why is this hard for you.
If the corrupt Bush Mafia fought the Left there would be no problem. The corrupt Bush Mafia allows the Left to do their dirty work for them, AND the corrupt Bush Mafia refuses to fight back. WHY, because the corrupt Bush Mafia agrees with the corrupt Left. THAT IS THE FREAKIN’ PROBLEM !!!
America’s problem is not the Communist Left but the corrupt crony capitalist right Bush Mafia that is OUT. OF. POWER. and wants their freakin’ power back. The corrupt Bush Mafia does not believe the power is in the people.
Got it now? GOOD !!!!
Sorry to yell but I just cannot understand that people still don’t get this.
Example: If corrupt Senator Marco Rubio of the Senate Intelligence had balls he would expose the fact that Senator Warner colluded to get rid of Trump. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS AS FACT. Yet, Rubio chooses to Gaslight and not choose to expose Warner. WHY ? Because Rubio does not believe in the consent of the governed. Rubio believes in rewarding his OWN purse. Just like a member of the corrupt Bush Mafia would. Rubio believes the PEOPLE are in the way of him attaining extreme wealth.
“Bush Mafia that is OUT. OF. POWER. and wants their freakin’ power back.”
They aren’t out of power…
They’re out of the closet.
A thousand likes
When babies in the womb can be slaughtered and their deaths celebrated as choice, when belief in God is mocked and that mockery celebrated as art, and when we celebrate a person’s “right” to be whoever they think they are and condemn those who don’t automatically accept it as being bigoted, then we are way past the point of being able to compromise–especially when it comes to the issue of when life begins and when ending that life is “acceptable”.
And why is it that we ALWAYS have to be the ones to acquiesce?
That’s not compromise, that’s subjugation.
Looks like we’ve crossed the rubicon. No turning back now. Humpty Dumpty cannot be put back together. You’ve got to wonder if all these swells in the ruling class realize the shitstorm that’s about to rain on them. God have mercy on their rotten souls.

Truth_Merchant:
I like to buy this book.
These are my unformed thoughts and disconnected words put to paper. Thank you Sundance and fellow patriots for the fellowship and strength to be true to our faith and guiding principles. May God be with us in all we do in the days ahead.
Sundance thank you for your words of strength, purpose and fellowship. We cannot go down without a fight.
God is on our side.
I sent this text by e-mail to my Congressman and 2 Senators. It is a statement of the compact between representatives and the represented.
I expect you will support our President, Donald J. Trump in his fight against the 2020 electoral sham that resulted in a ridiculous number of votes being adjudicated to the Democrat ticket. It is a shame that our Party is willing to “bag it” so the powerful and corrupt elites can rid themselves of a President who was changing things and standing in the way of their plundering trillions of our taxpayer dollars.
This is a litmus test. Failure to support our President will cost you my vote in your next primary and, should you prevail, the election.
You don’t support our voters will, we won’t support you. That’s the job you are in.
They don’t care about your vote. They have Dominion.
Sad, but true. If they were honest, they would care about honesty,
and then they would care about your vote.
They do not care about polls: this is why any poll still standing
to show the truth is irrelevant to them. They only want propaganda
polls lying about how wonderful they are, and how awful we are.
Honesty is dead among Leftists, for whom the term means
only slavery to the Communist Party’s wishes.
Elsewhere, with inspiration from a sermon,
I wrote this yesterday concerning President Trump’s
“chosen” nature – and our own standing as “chosen people.”
Perhaps it will help you to remain “steadfast,”
as the above essay desires you to be.
“Why God Chose You!”
Bishop Robert Barron delivers an excellent sermon on being “chosen by God”
in an era when “Everyone is special!” a bromide which. of course,
in our self-centered kulcher, it is impossible to contradict without
Leftists scolding you…or worse.
Given Bishop Barron’s sermon, one can see how there is a difference between
God choosing you, and making you special, versus our amoral, egalitarian
kulcher saying that we are “special,” which means in actuality that nobody is
special. Rather, we become drones in a slave state.
This leads me to another aspect: in a world created by God’s providence,
“there are no coincidences.” Pope John Paul II reminded us of that idea.
My point: is it possible that God is working through us to choose
President Trump, not for ourselves, but for the world?
In Bishop Barron’s sermon, he points out (via Isaiah,
and the New Testament) that God chose Israel
to be His people not for themselves, not to bask in being
“special” and to sneer at other people, but to draw those other
people to His Holy Mountain!
Has America not always seen itself as “chosen,” the “shining city on a hill,”
not to dominate other nations, but to draw people toward freedom, toward
diligence, toward creativity, toward accomplishment, toward the best life
that they can choose for themselves?
And right now, our opponents want to replace our mission as a chosen
nation with one where we are mediocre, not “chosen” in any
way except in the meaningless rhetoric where “every nation is special.”
President Trump has been chosen, as America has been chosen, to
lead us to our best possible future of freedom and true progress, not the
fake “progress” where e.g. the idea of marriage has been sullied by
the egalitarian intrusion of homosexuality, where sexuality itself has been
sullied by the egalitarian intrusion of gender denial, where creativity is stymied
by the egalitarian intrusion of declaring everyone a genius who dares to slap
paint on a canvas, spit onto music paper, or scribble idiocies on a sheet
of paper, and where our national progress has been nearly halted
by the egalitarian intrusion and injection of deliberate mediocrity
and stupidity into as much of our society as possible.
The sermon is not very long: but you can go to the 9 minute mark
for his conclusions.
Ausonius:
Thank you so much for this video. It is enlightening. I keep on forgetting that “I or We were born so others can see GOD through us. It now reminds me of that amazing and classic movie titled, “It’s A Wonderful Life.” That movie was an eye opener for me about us being born for a purpose.
Honestly, there was a time after a few days after the 2020 Nov election watching and reading this blatant in our face stealing of Pres. Trump winning that I felt so desolate, crying hard and so much in pain inside that I had to asked Father GOD, Jesus and Mother Mary many times —“why am I born in this time just to witness this INJUSTICE? Why did you let me see this? Why did you let me be in this US soil just to feel this kind of pain? Why and so many why?” I even had the audacity one time to glance with a dagger look as I passed by the corner in our house where Jesus, Mother Mary’s statue and other prayer books was located and says in my mind, “I thought you said….what you said to me.” Oh, Lord Father GOD and Mother Mary, please forgive me. I need to confess to a priest so I can officially be forgiven.
Churches here is not allowed yet to have inside mass and confession. I don’t want to confess openly outside in the open where everybody can just hear.
Then, HE answered me. I don’t remember now if it was a video or an article but the phrase said, “…you are born with a PURPOSE….”
I love you FATHER GOD, JESUS OUR LORD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, and MOTHER MARY.
Greetings POL!
Don’t worry about temporary despair: if it was temporary
and dispelled, there is no problem. As Christians, Catholic
or otherwise, despair is not an option long-term.
The answer here is similar to the answer for those who
complain about the existence of Evil in the world, whether
from Nature (storms, diseases, etc.) of from Humans, and
why God does not intercede to stop it.
We note that it seems that even the Laws of Physics
have a kind of free will, along with those who knowingly
commit Evil. God does not interfere with the latter for
an obvious reason (Life would become a meaningless
puppet show, if God interfered). But for Evil from the
natural world, the answer is the same.
Suffering under Evil gives us an opportunity to prove ourselves
against that force: it gives us an opportunity to show Love,
our own and God’s through us.
My wife’s godson had a daughter born with a nightmare
of a genetic disease with no cure, precisely because it is genetic.
In this disease, around age 3 or 4, the child’s brain begins to die,
slowly, over a c. 10 year period. The child will slowly lose any speech,
any hearing, any eyesight, and will eventually suffer seizures
and lose control over basic functions.
This child’s parents and her sister got busy and constructed lives
based on caring for this very slowly dying and doomed little girl.
They tried to give her as much of a Disneyland life as possible.
Medicines and doctor’s needed simply to control the worst
symptoms cost them easily several million dollars over that decade.
But they had no worries, because their small-town community
(under 10,000 people) came together and showed their Love
and God’s Love for this family!
Literally thousands of them organized bake sales,
festivals, 5K races, raffles, and some donated goods
and services, while others contacted businesses – some
far away from their small Ohio community – to donate anything
that the family might need: a special wheel-chair, a special
van with a lift, special beds, etc. etc. etc.
This family and their friends and relatives, along with absolute
strangers, were involved in a celebration of Love against Evil:
they took advantage of the opportunity rather than shaking
their fists and despairing and blaming God.
And so, this great Evil afflicting America today is a test of our
Love: what will we do, if Communist DEMS steal this election?
Despair is never an option! We must choose a good and righteous
path and stay on it into the future.
Thank you.
Simple, succinct and powerful – as per the starfish story Carlos
Sorry, but…Unless we restore our election system your vote will not count. Why can’t you understand this. Your threats are meaningless to those people.
Oh *they* understand it all too well. They just hope to keep us rubes “unaware and compliant,” as per Hellary’s Wikileaks email. Well THAT ship has sailed..
Thsts why the traitors must be primaried…
Before or after they visit Gitmo? I say after.
For over a year I have enjoyed the inspiration on this site. Thank you so much for what you do.
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Sundance suggests ” we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. “
Yet those who are stealing the power of the United States republic from “the people” don’t seem to care that they ARE ‘destroying the founding principles of our constitutional republic’.
If Joke Biden and her team steal the election, even for a minute, the founding principles are gone.
Patriots of the USA won’t do well in war (war in whatever form) with one hand tied behind their back. Read Michael Walsh’s “Last Stands – Why Men Fight When All is Lost” for history. Often, the best and only way to win is to absolutely crush the opposition. And the next 22 days is definitely a LAST stand.
??⌛️
Militias to put down tyranny are very Constitutional. And you might be pleasantly surprised how many of our military and LEOs understand that whole concept.
Traitors who insist these “peacekeeping forces” are the enemy of the people, haven’t got their facts straight.
??
I have talked with quite a few ELOs in my neighborhood. First, they don’t like cheaters or criminals, and the Biden & DNC Crime Families are both.
Also, the democrats haven’t endeared themselves to ELOs with their support for Antifa & BLM (actually DNC paramilitary) or the defunding movement, and the constant demonization of the police. I don’t see them stepping in the way to save them. They would more like join in a just movement by the population to arrest and remove the traitors from their levers of power.
something wicked this way comes.
with eyes wide shut..some still think this is a republic
Since the election I have been praying for peace – personal peace – to keep me focused on God and to not let my emotions sway with the winds that continuously shift from hopefulness to despair in the ever-changing headlines. This refuge is truly a God-sent blessing. I pray that legions of swamp residents will find their way here and will form associations that can form multiple battle plans to thwart the Uniparty.
My heart is grateful or the palpable patriot presence here.

On your point, I have been recommending an essay by American philosopher Albert Jay Nock called “Isaiah’s Job” but also known as “The Remnant.”
It describes how to live in an era of vast delusion and mediocrity, and how to prepare for the future, any future, given the guidance of the Prophet Isaiah:

Enjoyed reading this article; thanks for sharing it. It’s the second time this week an article from that site has crossed my computer screen.
Thank you Sundance.
I love the red haired woman with the cross in her hair .
For some reason she touches my heart and gives me hope .
She seems steadfast to me .
Wow! All the times that I’ve looked at the picture of the red haired woman, I never noticed the cross! Thank you Betsy, for that observation! Wow that’s cool!
I love the picture too. I never noticed the cross either. I do now and will enjoy the picture even more when Sundance posts it.
Thank you Sundance for this reminder.
We the People know the truth. It has reached critical mass. We are not waiting to see whether or not the truth will reach those in DC in the coming days. We already know they know the truth. We are waiting to see what those in DC will do with the truth. To those in DC, we are judging you. We want to know whether you are part of the problem or part of the solution. Choose wisely.
Those in DC know we know and are waiting to see what we are going to do about it and are presuming we will do nothing. My prayer is that they are woefully surprised.
I think there may be a preemptive strike to bug us out. Why would they wait and give us the upper hand?
But that’s to be expected from tyrants who have historically used false flags to keep their terror flowing.
This time it won’t work. Our cold anger is nothing to trifle with.
#RESOLUTE???
They are not waiting to see what we will do. They honestly believe that we are demoralized, finished, wimpering.
The Omnibus bill proves my point. They will be surprised when we do not comply.
The woman is the Conservative Treehouse. All of us watching and waiting, praying to the Lord and trying to see the truth, trying to decide the path God wants us to take. Just as we see the woman differently, we see the world differently. At CTH we discuss what we see, what we think, and share and learn from the best of both. God Bless America!
Agree. The red haired woman illustration is PERFECT!
Thank you Sarah Palin for all you have done for our country ,
I truly feel that without you we wouldn’t have our wonderful President Trump !
God Bless you and yours ,
may you all have a very Happy New Year !
I have looked at that picture so many times and have never noticed the cross in her hair. Thanks for that info.
Thank you for pointing out the cross in her hair!! I’ve always loved her — the cross makes her that much more meaningful! Yes, steadfast!
I feel the same when I see her! As I read the article on being Steadfast, I was hoping the red head girl would be at the end. Something touches my soul and the comment from A Patriot above explains it perfectly.
When a picture is worth a thousand words, Sundance’s graphics always capture the essence of his writings in a single frame. Where does he come up with these gems? Thank you!
Well done and well said, Sundance.
IMO what we have witnesed, are still witnessing is an economic and probably cyber war currently raging, and it appears it’s China 10 – rest of the world 0. Just yesterday Turkey folds and sells it’s soul, agreeing to “extradite” Uyghurs who have taken refuge there back to China (and probable certain death or work camps). Cash for lives – simple as that. Here, at home it’s cash for votes/government, and the rest of the “free” world it’s “please don’t hurt us – please, we’ll do whatever you ask”. Personally, I don’t hold it against the Chinese, who hasn’t done a bit of empire building??. I do retain my absolute loathing for the traitors and whores who have sold us out though – they can NEVER be safe.
Thanks, Oldspeak, for helping us keep the “international relations” aspect of this vicious amorality present, painfully in mind, as part of the puzzle pieces we must connect for the purpose of ultimate victory. I cringe and shudder when I bear to think of what I know about Chinese hatred of human beings.
Unfathomable evil: ““extradite” Uyghurs who have taken refuge there [Turkey] back to China (and probable certain death or work camps).”
Just don’t make this Turkey-evil-choice “the rest of the world.” It is representative of the similar evil residing in radical islamism – every single being simply a servant, a slave, fodder for those in contriol.
The participation in evil and viciousness is almost beyond comprehension – from foreign actors; from all those in America who have sold their souls and their country for judas-silver. Almost beyond comprehension — except when I study actions of leaders in the earliest “empires,” from the very beginning of our common human purposes. The varieties of evil within human nature is something to behold – when we can manage to do so. We would rather deny.
Being a moral and caring human being, with integrity, is a separate “state” and one for which the willingness to engage in constant alertness and/or warfare is a necessity. Steadfastness and Cold Anger; Hot Anger only when necessary.
What makes the main difference in states? A babe born in a manger to forgive us of these human immoral sins (how is this possible, given human nature?) and to bring love, hope, and new (awe inspiring) light into this world.
A world with loving possibilities for every new-born baby (e.g., like the American family, for all its flaws) is one promise and possibility. A representative government, a Constitutional Republic, in the public sphere is the external, public manifestation of this love – and hope. Every human being precious.
Thanks, Sundance, for Steadfastness and Community that you provide us here so we together can continue striving toward these goals.
We should take them in.
I am afraid it’s too late. I believe China has developed technologies that are way ahead of the US. Just think about this: how is it possible that the restaurants, hotels, shopping malls and parks are packed in China while in they are closed in the US? Is it possible that Chinese already created “hosts” to replace humans that died of covid? If you have watched Westworld, you know what I am talking about! And some people here keep talking about CCP controlled Biden. Do they mean that CCP already created a Biden host and is now programming his every move? Just connect the dots, folks!
Tony,
It’s not China. It’s aliens. Biden is a pod person.
I keep praying — our President and our country’s future is constantly in the back of my mind. Please, Lord, put your hands on PDJT’s shoulder to comfort him and give him strength. Please, Lord, let there be one man out of 100 senators who is still a patriot. Please, Lord, help me in my physical weakness be strong for others in mind and spirit. I’m constantly on the brink of tears or anger — please, help me and others similarly afflicted to gather those emotions and focus them to be of service to the willing — however possible — to save this country from those who will destroy it out of greed and fear. Amen
Deborah, I would like to think that there is one MAN period in the Senate (or even a real WOMAN) but I don’t hold out a lot of hope. You do realize that in this entire Presidency, not ONCE–one single, lonely time–did a single Senator stand up to China Mitch and object to not recessing. Democrats, that was an expected play. They are nothing but obstructionists–no other way to describe them. Republicans–the entire lot, those in the Senate when President Trump was elected, those that the President campaigned for (many of whom owe their very election/re-election to the President) all became Judases. Uniparty. All with one goal–enriching themselves at the expense of the American people and the American founding principles. No morals. No principles. No heart. No feeling. Greed. Lust for power. Totally willing to step on those who pay the bills. Totally willing to ignore our wishes. Totally willing to perjure themselves for their common goal. Totally willing to sell their souls to the devil himself. January 6th will tell us whether the Senate Republicans have a single patriot or whether they are, like the Obstructocrats, self-serving, power mad, traitors. Pay attention. With the passage of HR1, Nazi Pelozi was able to form a government with the ability to operate completely within the forces of darkness. That sums up her leadership and lets us know that she was all in for the forces of Socialism, though she feigned incredulity over the thought. We should have known. She used impeachment as a game, not as the serious matter it should have been. When the threat didn’t intimidate our Leader, she ran it through as an emergency circumventing traditional House rules and using Lying Adam Schitt as her Pontius Pilate. Again, a moral-free Californicator. Then, like the cackling hen she is, she sat on it hoping to manipulate President Trump into caving. For the past four years, Donald J. Trump has been the only real man in the DC swamp. The others are boys doing the bidding of puppetmasters. BLM and AntiFA are just paid thugs. Sure a few joined because of what they “thought” the mission was but they primarily are paid to do what the globalist movement want–destroy the capitalist system within the USA and reduce the country to just one more little Socialist island in a world of greed, lust and power.
God is in control. These people think they are ruling the country. They are mistaken. They allowed the Coronavirus to be developed and spread across the world. They used it for their own evil control. They used it to subjugate freedom loving peoples. God will show them the errors of their ways.
Well stated. I fear that the example of lack of any senator to vote for recession is key to jan 6. Thanks Sundance
Makes you wonder if Mitch is more powerful than the President.
I wonder about who calls them BOTH in (not P. Trump though) (hence all the drama) for a progress report. Then is this guy only a “area” head? – who reports back to somebody he’s never met. I guess 363 days of Covid BS does something to the mind – lol.
a2n8 A very good summary of DC and yes, God will show them the errors of their actions.
Deborah, Please know that although it may seem that way, you are not alone!
Bless you, sbrgirl, and thank you so much!
When everything is falling apart around us – our entire government, the moral fiber of our society, churches, life as we know it – one constant in my life is God and how much closer I have drawn to Him. My friend was saying how much Psalm 68 held meaning for her. I excerpted a portion below, which is my prayer. My only peace is in the firm belief in God’s sovereignty even though His ways are greater than mine and my understanding.
1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered;
Let them also that hate him flee before him.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
As wax melteth before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God:
Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Today’s devotional from the Presidential Prayer Team is:
Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their Lord. – Revelation 21:3
In these COVID times, major upheavals mar the landscape of businesses, schools, churches, and households. Many decisions revolving around the virus have resulted in some good things happening, but lockdowns, and related times in seclusion, isolation, and general “aloneness” have had significant negative effects on the people involved.
At the beginning of time, when God created the Heavens and the Earth and all life in it, He announced that “It is not good that the man should be alone,” and thus, God formed woman as Adam’s helper and companion (Genesis 2:18-23). God created the Garden for their work and pleasure, and He walked in their presence. He dwelt in the midst of Israel when He marked their path with a pillar of fire, and He enveloped the Tabernacle in the wilderness as a cloud (Exodus 13:21-22; 33:9).
Then came Jesus, “Immanuel (which means, God with us),” fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah (Matthew 1:23). The Son of God lived among the people. It is appropriate and joyful to celebrate His coming; it is even more fitting to sing praises to Him for the extreme sacrifice He made to save all people. Pray the scoffers of this nation would turn from their unbelief to the Savior.
The believer, on the other hand, anticipates “the unspeakable beauty of eternal bliss [when] God will live in our midst, as our own God… and highest source of joy and satisfaction.” You may be separated from others, but pray that you, and all others in this nation, stand assured of God’s presence now and into 2021. The promise that He will be with you always still holds true.

The disconnect is everywhere and Sundance keeps addressing it. We even see It is being displayed in the comment section. May we grasp what is happening and pray for God to help us to connect and not be a tool of disunity.
Yes, we must stand together.
Well said, Sundance. Over the years you have held my unwavering admiration and respect. Your guidance is valued and appreciated. Steadfast is how one has to be in order to endure, as only by enduring can one exert influence on the long course of events. Thank You.
Life was easier when we did not have to think about government.
Now we have a government with out of control deficit spending. Spending that is only possible by essentially raiding the Federal Reserve where the debt is stacked. Lots of government money allows Congress to pay off the campaign donors.
We no longer have a government that represents the people who vote for Congress. The people are now held hostage to create the crisis for government to excuse the spending.
bertdilbert, Kinda interesting you mention life was easier when we did not have to think about government. I remember when Bill Clinton was running and he was on tv all slick willied and pounding on some podium. I called my gramps and said hey gramps you watching this guy, gramps said nope your gramma and I don’t watch that crap they are all liars. Gramps knew. I was watching a spaghetti western last weekend and there’s a general and a senator in an old canvas tent on a battlefield and the general say’s to the senator, ” I could really use new horses, better and faster horses and a nice spread with trees and water running past it when this war is over” The Senator reply’s, “Son you get me what I need, any way you can and when I get back to Washington I’ll see to it that you get everything you ask for” So my point is this has been going forever, we have, as a Treeper said previously, exposed the underbelly of these traitors. I asked my wife at the dinner table table last night what her thoughts were after another Monday of tick toc, the big ones coming, another bombshell is just around the corner, and she said to me ” I still see Mr. Trump with his hand on the bible on January 20th” So I’m with her, I’m with the Treeper family and we are with Trump.
We shall remain steadfast in our pursuit of truth. We are in a battle of Good vs. Evil; Light vs. Darkness; Truth vs. Lies; Liberty vs. Tyranny; and ultimately God vs. Satan. We are on the righteous & victorious side.
Thank you for this Sundance. Thank you.
And thank God for this community and may God bless all here. Praying without ceasing.
By God’s grace we are enabled to STAND FIRM.
We need an agenda and it needs to be set on a long-term, not short term strategy.
It needs to be set on the foundation of eliminating political law and replacing it with Natural Law. The founders did not list all of our inalienable natural rights and wherever they have not been specifically enumerated, the statists have taken advantage. Maybe not a total list, but a good start is:
Thank yiou Sundance. My faith has been worn pretty threadbare in recent months. This helped.
These past 4+years of POTUS have affirmed my worst fears that our ‘lifers’ in and around DC REALLY do not care for their constituents first. They are in on the take and all want no one to disrupt their gravy train, their fiefdoms. The MSM and the CofC are vey much enmeshed in this scandal. How will it all end? And certainly it will end, one way or another. We the people will find a way.
Hegelian dialectic – admittedly I had to look it up …talk about travelling down a rabbit hole….I had never heard of Hegelianism or Hegel before this…The lack of awareness of the manipulations that are influencing human thought processes is perhaps the greatest challenge facing us.
Sundance,
Being steadfast is important right now. Great write up.
And this site is helping people see the light. More and more each day. How do I know
In the past 24 hours the trolls at The Gateway Pundit and Red State have started slandering CTH. I’ve now seen quite a few posts saying things about this site and its Treepers that makes no sense to anyone who actually comes here, comments, and is open.
For example- a troll said (paraphrase) in reply to someone saying people are tired of being harassed about masks, it’s time we stand up and get in their faces- “I said that at CTH. They banned me. A bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists”
Another troll at GWP: the CTH is a place crazy conspiracy people go.
and more and more are popping up. All saying very similar things using similar words- all posts contain something about conspiracy theory and crazy people. Or something similar. They are trolls so they ramble sometimes so you can deduce by their whole post they don’t really come here.
Keep up the goodwork Sundance. When they start calling out the whole site in thier troll reports you know you are doing a good job.
The trolls are out in force!
I wonder if they get paid by the word or the paragraph. Do they have someone who polishes their English?
DD, when you are taking all the flack, you are over target!!
Bombs away!!!!!!!!!!
That’s really ironically hilarious, considering the level of enlightened discourse here as compared to comment sections elsewhere.
Which is how you know they are not really coming here. This site is gaining popularity. I had a co-worker who I shared it with (I am very private and it took me 7 years of working with him before I was comfortable enough to direct him here). He loves it. He shared it with his sister. His sister likes this site and has shared it too.
I have another friend who asked if I ever visited CTH because he found this site and loves it.
Word is spreading and like you said there’s a level of enlightened discourse here as compared to comment sections elsewhere. Therefore, it must be attacked and muddied up. Can’t have that….boom trolls start bashing on other boards.
What scares them is the religious and spiritual focus, which is unique. That kind of thing creeps out modern man. He is aware only that what he considers irrational mumbo jumbo gives indefatigable strength and resilience to a multitude of people….and he is afraid of it.
Been thinking a lot about the stolen election, the Jan 6 march, and how to make an impact.
TL;Dr: Philippines People Revolution…is this our path forward?
Patriots here and on other forums are discussing what to do if Pence/Senate don’t step up. So what if millions gather? What’s to stop the steal? Do we pull out our weapons and fight? Or what if Congress does do its duty and invalidates electors from states where voter fraud has unconstitutionally tainted the electors? Surely the Antifa goons will riot and create incredible violence.
From reports of the way Antifa violence has been covered in DC, Portland, Seattle, etc., it’s clear that (to use a sports analogy) the media uses the NBA model: it’s not the Antifa who commits the first foul that gets caught on camera, it’s the police responding to their violence that gets caught and publicized. Thus, the narrative is that the innocent Antifa is unjustly attacked by law enforcement.
This is the same thing that will happen when patriots stand up for electoral integrity and respond to violence committed by those who support anything less than full transparency in investigating electoral fraud.
I had a student who participated in the the People Power Revolution in the Philippines when hundreds of thousands or even millions took to the streets to oppose the electoral corruption there. For those of you old enough, think of the old Coke commercial: I’d like to teach the world to sing. It was peaceful, based on love, but on firm resolve to not accept the fraud.
Think about MLK. Think about Gandhi. In a modern world where images are hyper important in persuading people of the justice or injustice of a cause, the side that has truth in its favor and that is willing to suffer the fire hoses and batons and beatdowns of the side that don’t have truth and justice on their side eventually prevail.
Am I crazy? Am I a martyr? I know this: the media and most every governing force is against us fighting for to prevent the steal of this election. We talk about standing up and much of that talk has been around the fact that this is going to cost us, might even lead to war. If we escalate to violence immediately, we will have no sympathy from many of our undecided or weak brethren and our violent escalation may lead into full-scale war because the media and government entities will not support our side, will not show sympathy to our cause.
The People Power Revolution was successful because it was just, it was massive, it was sustained, and there was no way it could be spun negatively by the media/government/academic power brokers.
If I’m going to be a martyr for a cause, I want it to be effective. I think I’m likely to have greater impact if I do like the people who sat at the lunch counters in the 60s, who braved the fire hoses and dogs. The images in that pre-social media era horrified the world and helped to bring about the change. Imagine how the narrative would have been spun if the people at the lunch counter had set the place on fire or those dowsed with the the fire hose had opened fire with AR-15s. They may have been justified to do so, but they may not have won the battle.
So, yes, I don’t necessarily want to be a martyr, but if I believe this cause is so important that I’m willing to be one I want to make sure I have the maximum impact.
Is the most effective way forward when push comes to shove to immediately move to violence? Or would a People Power Revolution be the best way forward?
Patriots everywhere are asking for leadership. They’re asking for a plan. I submit that this may be our best path forward. In free societies (not totalitarian regimes) this seems to have the best track record whether in US civil rights, Poland and the solidarity movement, the recent successful protests in Denmark against Coronavirus lockdowns.
I’m planning to join in DC on the 6th, but I’m just one man and probably an inconsequential one. However, I think we need to consider an option that falls between hoping that our Vice President/Congress gets it right and flat out violence. Let’s talk about an People Power Revolution.
WillRoll, thanks for the historical example of the Phillipines.
I think, We The People have already risen to be counted the first time – by the massive number of votes for President Trump and a Constitutional Republic. A massive number of votes from Americans of every race, color and creed.
We caught the enemy of our Republic off-guard. They had to resort to the most obvious you-are-all-our-prisoners stance, straight in our faces. They gave us the finger and worse.
Now we are on to step two as The People. President Trump has paved our way with many significant actions, not least of which is the resarch/data that foreign actors were involved in The Steal.
We don’t kow what will happen next, but we will be there.
It is so helpful to have recent historical exampls of people taking back their country.
Just say’n… 😉

It is sad to see how fear has taken hold of the Karens of the world. Shows how far people have become moldable to whatever popular media puts out with little ability to discern why they fall in line so easliy.
I will be praying for all of you real American patriots.
But don’t forget to pray also your Angel’s prayer AM and before bedtime. Pray also St. Michael’s prayer. The Holy Spirit prayer to touch the hearts and mind of people in power, the electors, the state legislators to lift the cloud of evilness that had envelope them of their decisions, to US senators and congressmen to reject the fraudulent election results, the holy rosary if you are a Catholic.
Pray also the “Prayer of Command” everyday encourage by the respected Catholic Exorcist Priest – Chad Ripperger and the “Prayer of Deliverance of President Donald Trump from his Enemies” by Bishop Rene Gracida.
If I may add, pray to St. Christopher–the patron saint of travelers.
President Trump has said that more info will be coming out about Jan 6th. Will be very interesting as to what he says. I have said over and over again, that the plan should be to shut DC down for a week or so. Nothing in, nothing out. Things like that will get their attention faster, Matter of fact do it in every D RAT run major city. Do you know how fast you can shut down I 95 going thru DC? All you have to do is get the truckers involved and have all Deplorables slow down to 10 MPH.
WillRoll:
Now that you mentioned the bloodless and peaceful 1986 Philippine Revolution, I would like to add that it was successful because DIVINE INTERVENTION made it happened. Millions and millions of Filipinos were praying to heaven, to Mother Mary, to Father GOD, to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit for deliverance and peaceful resolution from the injustice of the 1986 stolen Philippine election at that time.
One of the high ranking military pilot that was ordered by the dictator marcos (he later denied he ordered it) to bombed the millions of people that congregated in EDSA said in his (I can’t remember his name at the moment) own words, “I was ready to follow the order and bomb the millions of people but then looking below, I saw that the millions of people congregating in EDSA had formed into a cross (It was because the people’s attendance was so huge that all corners of the road was full of people from right to left and backwards and front) and a thought suddenly came to him, “what if my own wife, my children and my parents are in there?” With that, he suddenly turned around and land in Camp Aguinaldo where the military rebels (who had decided to back then, Corazon Aquino) against Marcos was holding out. After all the chaos had subsided, he realized he was actually right—his own family was in there participating—-rich, middle class, and poor congregating together.
What that senior military pilot did was pivotal in changing the course of that revolution into a peaceful bloodless revolution. Military pilots after pilots started landing in Camp Aguinaldo. Without air support, the dictator had run out his options. Afterwards, Marcos and his family fled.
PRAY and FAST EVERYDAY especially the remaining 21 days all the way to January 20, 2021 if you had not done so. It MUST BE CONSISTENT and MUST NOT BROKEN.
Pol, thank you for this wonderful addition. My post was lacking the spiritual emphasis, which you have wisely provided. I frankly didn’t know that side of the story. Was just captivated by my discussions with the young man in my class and his participation in the events. I should have guessed there was more to the story. Knowing the spiritual dimension behind the protests gives me even more hope.
WillRoll:
You are welcome. Lastly, if you see some past pictures of that “Philippine People Power Revolution,” Catholic nuns was at the forefront facing military tanks holding just rosaries ready to die and be crushed by the tanks. And Virgin Mary’s statues being held up high during that revolution.
Philippnes was lucky at that time, that Cardinal Sin was alive and publicly for the first time in history went live on a Catholic radio (that was subsequently disabled, but some Filipino courageous people like June Keithley (a hero actually) was able to put it on air again during that battle) to call on ALL Catholic faithfuls to go to EDSA because marcos the dictator was about to annihilate with tanks and bomb Camp Aguinaldo, where the military rebels was using it as their refuge. One of the military rebel was his own 2nd cousin Fidel Ramos (a high ranking military official at that time).
To save them, Catholic Cardinal Sin called on the people and went in minutes– from few people to hundreds,thousands, then millions arrived. So, marcos army had to choose between bombing Camp Aguinaldo along with the millions of people or not do anything. They got paralyzed seeing tons of people there. They did not expect it. It was unheard of actually in the annals of world history.
It was fun, full of laughter, praying the rosary nonstop, fear, nervousness, crying, courage, determination,yes, using the word of Sundance–steadfast and all sorts of emotions rolled into one, people bringing food and drinks that were staying in EDSA guarding the streets from military tanks.
Amazing show of unity from all walks of life.
That was why, the Catholic radio station was bombed or destroyed? because marcos side knew people and the military rebels were depending on it for direction (direction on where the tanks are marching on) so people can run,gather and defend the area just with their own bodies nothing less, as fast as they can to go to those particular streets so those tanks will not reach Camp Aguinaldo.
It was a miracle! Mother Mary intercede in behalf of the Filipinos!
Lastly, Mother Mary is also a patroness of the U.S.A (May 13, 1846). I myself, just learned this recently.
Thank you, Sundance, for your words of encouragement. I work for a law firm which caters to the elderly. Yesterday I watched as a woman tried to sign her name to a legal document. She was able to write her first name in cursive, but she printed her last name and the document had to be reprinted and she has to re-sign. Her daughter said that her mother was very afraid. The attorney said that he tries to make people feel comfortable. Her daughter said, no, that’s not it. Her mother had not been out of the house since March, since Covid started. I am a “fortunate” one who has a medical exemption, so I do not have to wear a mask in this state, but I have seen the look of fear in peoples’ eyes when they see me and fear that I might give Covid to them. This is what our government has done to our seniors. The spirit of fear is alive and well in them and in others who are not seniors. I get so very angry about this.
I have been praying that the spirit of fear will be bound in the name of Jesus. I have asked God to remove every evil person in high places, starting with Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi, then moving down the line, including at the state and local levels and those around President Trump who are not faithful to the Constitution and to the MAGA team. I have prayed that Mike Pence will be a white hat, for God’s glory, since Pence has been unashamed in stating that he is a Christian. Far too many so-called Christians have acted in unchristian way. For me, the jury is out on Mike Pence. I have also prayed that God will raise up a new group of people who will be willing to run for these offices, men and women of excellent character who will honor their oath to the Constitution and who will actually be servants of We, the People.
I have been praying that Holy Spirit will move across this land awakening the people to the knowledge of Him who loves us and for the church to have a Third Great Awakening. I have listened to many who call themselves prophets who have said that God told them that President Trump will have four more years. Prophets have stuck their necks out to say that God told them this or that. I pray that God’s name will be glorified.
In church on Sunday, a woman shared a dream God gave her. She was in a very large room, like a grand ballroom. There were huge signs in the room which said “Victory.” She also saw the number 15. Her dream was on Dec. 14th. She also said that God told her that He was going to do something so big that the people would be in awe and it would be jaw-dropping. I leave it up to others to interpret what this might mean.
I’m all too aware of human failings to look to a man or a prophet to think that one person has the answer. As a Mayflower descendant, I know that my people made a covenant with God over this land. So I remind God of the covenant made by my ancestors. To have faith when one can see what is happening is not faith. “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1.
I do fear civil war and I pray for peace, both in our country and in my own soul.
I’m so very grateful to have CTH to come to for a different perspective. May God always protect this platform and bless Sundance with health, wisdom and peace and be surrounded by those who love him. May God give Sundance even greater access and have even more influence in the places and with the people who have the power to change things. May God bless America.
Amen.
Beautifully written. Thank you.
“My faith will stand” – Sundance. Will ours? Despair anxiety or fear gripping ones heart or steadfast resolve?
Job 7
King James Version
“7 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?”
What is man indeed, for he is but dust and his life is but a vapor. Yet the Almighty sets His heart upon him and tries him every moment. These are the times that try men’s souls but remember the end of Job, after the fiery trial he emerged as pure gold.
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.”
Therefore;
“13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
“38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Thought perhaps some might find strength and hope in these scriptures, for God still is on His throne and is looking to show himself strong on behalf of His children. May God grant each of us the will and ability to achieve what we were destined for, for such a time as this. God bless all you treepers for everything you do!
Sundance said; “However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic”.
Umm…..if memory serves, didn’t we have a bit of a skirmish with our British masters to emancipate ourselves from their tyranny? So, I’d say *skirmishing* as a means of liberation is a founding principle.
Proverbs 29:16 KJV “When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.”
Dear Fellows,
Remember whatever we have lost, it is not our free will. That remains ours and ours alone. Remember that God helps those who help themselves. Every act that promotes the desired outcome has value. Now, clearly we can see that those in government are largely there for the purpose of power and not in service to the country or their countrymen. And worse yet, we find how extensively they are in league with China. I, myself, have put an end to purchasing anything made in China, in whole or in part, or that has any value that redounds to China. On this I shall remain steadfast.
Yes to not purchasing anything made in China. Been working on that as well as buying directly from manufacturers or smaller companies instead of Amazon or huge companies if it’s not available locally.
Thank you Sundance.
It has been a constant thorn to feel betrayed by not just Politicians, but in a man’s standing in tyranny against his own people. Good people. We have been Usurped with lies, misinformation, coverup, and fear, all while trying to keep it together on the homefront, in the workforce, and amongst friends. I seem to be forgetting my values, my morals, my Faith in God.
Institutions corrupted our children, used them, medicated them instead of educating. The great sadness in my heart now cries with hardened facts and without empathy. I allowed myself to be robbed of my true self. I stood by watching, not without self acknowledgement, the destruction of our country!! I feel I’m to blame, I feel beaten without a mark and yet I still believe ” Stead Fast”
Sustains me. I’m not alone.
Thank you for Reminding me.
Thank you for this, Sundance. I’m an older American, shaking my head at how we ended up here. There’s not a lot I can do, other than try to educate my nearest, and offer continual prayer for us all. And by all, I mean the Deep State as well. Their brief moment of possible triumph here will not follow them into the next eternal world except as condemnation.
My verses for now are from Psalm 118:
45 And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
46 And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
May God richly bless you, fellow Treepers.
I believe that OUR Politicians are missing something:
Quote from George Washington — “I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”
Our politicians are missing just about everything of substance and that which truly matters in the long run.
They only appear to care about the near term, their likability with the media, and their bank accounts.
I think it is time for a Petition to Vice-President Pence, urging him to stand firm against the forces of Sedition that have corrupted and stolen the Election for President.
Perhaps the Conservative Treehouse could be the engine to start such a Petition. Steve Bannon at his War Room would undoubtedly publicize it.
When you look up steadfast in the dictionary you will find a photo of President Donald John TRUMP.
“Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy”
Thank you sir
Very thoughtful and appreciated Sundance. Should this election injustice not be righted, I suggest remaining steadfast itself will be tested quite early. Biden’s handlers plan a very aggressive assault against our Republic within the opening days of power. If they have Senate control it will be far swifter than we can imagine. They will tear down President Trump’s signature achievements, both literally (border wall) and figuratively. These bold actions will be followed by swift legislation designed to remove threats, including confiscation of our arms and restrictions on ammo.
Remaining steadfast may require a rapid turn toward active resistance. When will it be too late? I don’t pretend to know. Yet there comes a time when the people will be forced to choose: STAND in the gap and fight, or submit.
The corrupted Republican leadership believes good ole Joe and the Uniparty will control everything without an issue. Their approach is to say just enough to both the “hard right” and the “radical left” to appease as needed, but govern via payola schemes that keep America in the middle of the road. Liars all. They don’t realize they have lit the fuses of both sides. The radical left has victories now and will not be satisfied with continued bread crumbs. They want revolution. Right side Patriots have witnessed a stolen election that threatens to permanently remove any hope for future power via a formerly sacred process. That RIGHT to a free and fair election, once lost, may never be regained.
Steadfast indeed. Prepare. Recognize what we may be called to do.
Sundance, again thank you for your thoughtful words of wisdom! We must share them with as many fellow patriots as possible! God bless you!
Thank you, Sundance, for that beautifully articulated piece. And I’m thankful to find a place where I can participate in such discussions.
I have a question for your readers:
I find that I’m the only one in my family/social group who thinks the country is in as dire a situation as I believe it to be. I try to point them in the direction of evidence to no avail. How do you deal with loved ones and friends who “don’t want to hear it”? They are the sheeple I happen to love.
I have something like 95% of family and friends who are brainwashed by the left. I have spent a lifetime planting small ideas and asking small questions. I have also uncovered the precious 5% who get it. Trying to support them and connect with them now…
I can understand that people are ignorant and controlled by a lying ENEmedia. Even those in our own ranks find it difficult to shake that stuff off. Maybe we just can’t handle the truth.
What I can’t stand, however, is the hypocrisy. Very early on, the liberals in my midst ignored any and all COVID “protocols” that they found inconvenient. But that didn’t stop them from agreeing with all of it anyway, and imposing it on others.
And this is what I will gently call them out on. I say gently not because I don’t want to strangle them, it’s just easier to get your point across when you don’t have them in a headlock.
So clearly stated SD.. this old timer rejoices that some of “we the people”…see what is really going on..????
I read here every day….and read most comments.
You know what I think of regarding our passiveness about covid restrictions and loss of our rights to open our businesses and churches??
I think of what would have happened in Germany if 100 of those prisoners had mobbed and killed a guard and taken his rifle. And then, armed, gathered 200 prisoners and done same…then 300 and it would spread.
We are at that point…I’m waiting for just 100 in one county refusing lockdowns, then 200 and 300 till it spreads to another county. There are more citizens than law enforcement.
When? I’m in Kentucky and have only worn a mask once…in dr. office and only because I have to…a cancerous sore on my face must be removed today. I remove the mask inside the office. When the CDC reports masks are more dangerous than helpful, we can be assured this is more than about health safety–this is about control.
We will prevail.
If this disgraceful fraud is ratified by our Corrupt Swamp, then it is the Corrupt Swamp that will have to give way. Nothing I know about this President tells me he will curl up in the fetal position and accept this Ballot Coup, Biden Coup or Beijing Coup, knowing full well that he won in a landslide. Nothing.
But this is bigger than President Trump. Eighty million voters are not going to have their voice throttled and choice stolen and replaced with a Chinese Poodle and his Jezebel whore.
You can’t have a re-public-an form of government when your public consists of dead people, house pets, houseplants, superheroes, Civil War veterans, imaginary friends, illegal aliens, vegetarians with wilting beards, Bolshevik commissars (half gangster, half gramophone), earnest ladies in sandals, shock-headed Marxists chewing polysyllables, escaped Quakers, birth-control fanatics, Uni-Party backstairs-crawlers and the entire Fictional American-Community casting billions of fairytale ballots for a basement-dwelling doormat with a questionable pulse, tabulated on Hugo Chavez Brand(tm) voting machines by people who can’t decide how many genders there are.
We’re not going to overthrow the government. That’s already been done.
We’re going to overthrow those who have already overthrown the government–the government of the people, by the people and for the people. As President Lincoln put it; “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
It is untenable. It means the ratification of a Permanent CIA/FBI American Police State Apparatus and the Death of Free and Fair Elections in this nation. You cannot have this. No. Just No.
Once upon a time in a land far, far away and so long ago there was a magazine whose mission was “to stand athwart History, yelling Stop!”. That magazine, having been co-opted by a grumpy rump groveling for Globalist Danegeld, is now a shell of a shell. Yet the orphaned mission remains.
It is now only President Trump and his 80 million voters who stand and command History to Stop! #StopTheSteal!
Proceed at your own peril. You will not steal our voice, steal our choice, steal our elections, steal our Rights and steal our futures, if we have to take apart the Corrupt Swamp bog by bog and brick by brick.
We’re yelling “Stop!” Are you listening? I don’t think you are.
Because if you don’t stop, if you can’t stop, if you cant make yourself stop, then, by the Grace of Almighty God, we will stop it for you.
Stop.
Well said.
For those who would like to submit a prayer to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, here are two options:
Submit Prayer Request – https://championshrine.org/pray-with-us/
Light a Candle – https://championshrine.org/donate/light-a-candle/
I will not be able to make the journey to D.C. on the 6th. Instead, a group of us will be making a 48-hour bread & water fast that truth and justice will be served for our country on the 6th. I would invite others to join us.
“Go and fear nothing, I will help you”.
Pro Aris et Focis:
Thank you for this website.
I would suggest if you and your group are able to do a 21 day praying and fasting all the way to January 20, 2021—that would mean a lot to this nightmare of stolen 2020 presidential election.
Must be consistent and must not be broken (21 days).
Sundance, I just love you.
Call Sign-COURAGE
That was the call sign of my ship, USS America, CV 66. When it was in commission, it represented the flag ship of the US, by virtue of its name.
This movement by CTH represents the will of the people and will require courage. Take courage, let them hear you on 6 January. We should move from the Capital and March on VP Pence’s house at the Naval Observatory. So he can hear us loud and clear.
I think any of you saying this crap should zip your lips.
VP Pence and family have been campaigning for President TRUMP since FOREVER.
And just because ELECTION DAY, 3 Nov 2020, has come and passed, has he stopped? NO!
He’s still out there trying to keep the majority in the Senate. Campaigning non-stop to keep Georgia in play, working on CCP Bio-Terrorism Virus, and so on. BTW, he’s been working on the CCP Bio-Terrorism Virus for a full year, and has done a bang-up job.
https://www.who.int/csr/don/05-january-2020-pneumonia-of-unkown-cause-china/en
If he plans to go somewhere nice with his wife after the WILD fight to take back our Republic, and a day after the GA Republican Senate WIN, more power to him and his family! My guess is he will be going to meet with family. He has a son and a son-in-law in the service. Give the man a break.
I expect a rousing sermon from VP Pence on the 6th, from Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.
