I know we frequently say that if you look at the raw data before it is corrupted by those who control the information networks, you will discover we are in the overwhelming majority. However, sometimes it’s important to emphasize it.
In less than a week since his “Rich Men North of Richmond” song was noticed, Oliver Anthony has taken over the iTunes billboard rankings and now holds the record of 9 of the 20 most downloaded songs. Not only is his viral sensation #1, but his music library is dominating the charts. Today, he sang in Virginia:

.
We are the workforce.
We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.
We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all working, the builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning.
We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.
We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.
We are the people who grow the food, pick the food, transport the food, stock the food, cook the food and facilitate the life they live.
We are a visible, yet disregarded, insurgent force within their sphere of life that is never considered, yet we control the outcomes of every moment they value.
We pick up the trash, answer the phones, run cables to their devices, mow their lawns, solve their problems, control the flow of essential services and keep our heads below the radar.
We are the majority.
We can bring a halt to everything, simply by stopping what we do.
We are a self-reliant, freedom loving, normally peaceful and God-fearing assembly.
We drive them to their destination; we are comfortably out of mind until needed, and yet we are irreplaceable for the things they require.
We are armed with tools, hammers, pens, rulers, pickup trucks, laptops, post-it notes, stickers and alternate forms of messaging that circumvent the control mechanisms deployed to create our silence.
We are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything.
We have eyes of mice and ears of elephants. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance.
We are smart, strategic, highly intelligent and carry a brutally obvious and pragmatic common sense that finds optimal solutions to everything.
We identify our tribe immediately and without conversation.
We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal.
We control the physical world that operates around every element of society, and we value real and tangible assets.
We do not sit around pontificating eloquently about philosophic nuances; we get shit done.
We are the people who facilitate their ability to take us for granted, and we do so without issue, resentment or desire for recognition.
We are optimistic, affable, kind, generous, friendly, loyal, warm and quietly spiritual in purpose.
We are polite, considerate and slow to anger.
We prefer to be left alone. However, pushed entirely far enough, decisions are reached. Right now, we are tenuously staring with deepened gaze.
We are increasingly pissed off…. Big Time!
In every town, village and hamlet we are encountering the same conversation. On every porch, in every shop, at every event, the topic is the same.
Right now, we are taking this fury to the platforms of visibility where we hope to influence outcomes. But if that effort fails, and/or if the command-and-control authorities make the mistake of thinking they can shut down our visibility and therefore control the dissent, there will be no quarter provided in the aftermath.
The two biggest mistakes they can make right now is not understanding why we have begun to bow our heads.
First, our heads are not bowed because we are subservient, cowering or accepting the current effort to control us….
….We are praying!
Their second mistake would be to ignore that we are not praying for us…
….We are praying for those who trespass against us!
They may not like what follows, “Amen!”
We are resolute and of common purpose.
We are MAGA!
[ Fuel the Rebellion ]
Just an FYI… Oliver was playing at Morris Farm Market in Currituck, NC yesterday. He was not playing in VA.
I’m wondering how many fit military age men in the audience were FBI with their phones up scanning the faces of the folks in attendance?
At this point, it doesn’t matter. There’s more of us than there are of them.
Let ‘em take as much footage as they want.
Here comes the establishment backlash.
If you’re married, have kids, attend church regularly, have a job and go to work every day and refuse to believe – much less participate in – the lies the Government Party demands our obedience to …
…you are the counter culture.
AMEN!
I finally get to be the Counter Culture!! In the 1960s I was on a weekly radio show with Jack Wheeler (TO THE POINT NEWS) and others in Hawaii where we would have members of the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) on as guests and argue against them.
and there I stand with you all! God bless each and every one of you and especially Sundance, for going to ground to root out the truth and unite us all! WE shall prevail.
Me myself, I am blue collar. I am in a union, but dont let the heads of our organizations fool you. They dont control our votes the way they want you to think. We think for ourselves and a giant portion of us see thru their propaganda as well. Many. many of us are for Trump! Make no mistake, being union doesnt mean voting blue. 12 volts to lightning bolts! Ride the lightning!
My back yard runs parallel to a high traffic 2 lane road. Everyday I hear passing cars with stereo’s turned up to eleven. I can’t say I’ve ever heard the same song twice in many years living here. Until now… just heard “Rich Men North of Richmond” playing for the forth time in 3 days.
… I should probably add, I live in a major metropolitan area that “voted” 52% Democrat last election.
While I was reading this story and listening to the performance I got a text with a link to the song
That is encouraging (at least for your neck of the woods). I hope the same can be said of my area.
Amen.

I love this!!!!!
There’s another reason for bowing heads — re my handle, gotta do this: Wolves (and other sociable species) lower their heads when they’re thinking about launching at a perceived threat.
Just sayin’. I’ve might’ve seen people do that too.
Well I hope Oliver Anthony makes some good money off of this. He deserves it. I’m glad to see normal people starting to rally together.
Singing from the heart.
Songs with words we
can relate to.
I keep thinking….
More songs please👏👏👏👏
Not only did he write Rich men North of Richmond, Oliver Anthony also wrote Virginia.
Amen and Amen.
The dude is just so authentic. Checked out some of his catalog on youtube, all the songs are great.
Im looking to buy the album..

‘Rich Men North of Richmond’: A Stirring Ballad for the Real Forgotten Man
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/08/rich_men_north_of_richmond_a_stirring_ballad_for_the_real_forgotten_man.html
Oliver Anthony. Not Anthony Oliver😉
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of ‘Men who want to be left alone’.
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the ‘Men who wanted to be left Alone’ are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be.
Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these ‘Men who wanted to be left Alone’, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.
They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy, but it will fall upon deaf ears.”
Bull’s eye, top to bottom.
Reminds me of how we MADE (and KEPT) the United States of America in the first place.
That was another epic post here at the treehouse. I feel ready for anything after coming here, reading articles and reading comments. It uplifts me emtionally and spiritually. I think I found this place from someone posting a link to the treehouse on another site. God bless them for that. I try and post links to treehouse stuff every chance I get. Everywhere, you name it.
And every 4-8 years our lives, hopes and dreams, get murdered.
I sorta liked this guy better
He’s great. Needs the marketing group and heavy media hitters that got Oliver’s song out.
Oliver’s amazing too. He does live in Farmville, Va which is getting more sought after lately here in central Virginia and owns 90 acres of nice land. It looks as if Anthony Oliver is a pen name for Christopher Anthony Lunsford who per producer WVARadio names as the songwriter.
I hope Oliver shies away from allowing anybody on either side own him. He has the humble working class look, talent and truthfulness to be a real force for America’s ultimate survival.
He said God Bless President Trump.
They’ll offer him a fat contract, and then claim he’s selling out when he signs.
The country goes to ish and we talk about this stuff. Small wonder the left hate us and organize to take us out.
We watch them do it and they KNOW we would walk to the figurative trains.
We are the new Jews, no the unvaccinated.
get lost dark cloud
LMAO! What a dipshit. No one knows better than the people here what the stakes are. But hey, thanks for the uplifting words, Eeyore.
Extremely happy for him. Nothing better than seeing regular folk make it big.
I hope Con. Inc. doesn’t try to subvert his message.
And [because] we are ANALYSTS. We THINK about stuff.
Just had a “friendly” discussion about how HOT it is (Seriously! It’s August! In the South!) and how it’s all the newzies can talk about……….
Even though it’s been YEARS since my part of middle NC has seen 100 degrees of actual Fahrenheit. Despite EVERYTHING you might’ve heard to the contrary.
Gads. I need a chill pill.
The propagandists make moron noises about the heat every summer. You’d think they would try to get used to it, considering where they’re all headed. I’m in Georgia, so I hear the same stuff you’re hearing. It is unusually humid this year, but I read that this is due to a massive volcano eruption off the coast of Tonga this past December-January. It spewed enough water vapor into the stratosphere to raise global humidity for about the next 12-18 months, I read. So I worry a little about how much ice we might get this winter, but the good news is that next summer should be a little nicer than this one.
“considering where they’re all headed.” LOL
Beautiful Man-On-Hilltop pic there Sundance. I kinda think it might be the Smokies or close by. My favorite escape.
Guy is very talented.

and he also quoted Bible Verses. Psalm 37.
he’s really gonna catch it now. He knows, we know and they know we know.
We are their “useless eaters”, the 95% of the earth’s population that they’ve been talking about getting rid of. And along with all the arms that are needed for living, we are armed with enough weapons to make us an army bigger than all the rest of the world’s armies combined. They better damn well hope that The Great Awakening Plan ends successfully without really pissing us off….

Right on cue…
The Leftist Attacks On ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ Begin – RedState
The popularity of the song is nice to know.
And yet, the two top movies remain Leftist agitprop, Barbie, which pushes Communist, feminist, gender agit-prop and supposedly has grossed $1 Billion, and Oppenheimer, which is a whitewash of a Stalinist spy who gave away our atomic-bomb secrets.
The first I understand somewhat: people take their kids because they think it really is a Barbie-doll movie.
The other I find incomprehensible, given the terrible previews which we had seen.
Speaking truth to power, baby! We are the vast majority, and they are being exposed. As Reagan said about the USSR, We win, they lose.
Oh man! What an article! What a statement at the end, and to that I say praise our Lord Jesus Christ. I will stand in the breach until they cart my body away. I will not yield my faith, my family, my country.
I got goosebumps off of this…
Suggestion for Oliver Anthony . . . . . please?
When you have time to write again, how about a country ballad: The Persecution of President Trump. Lots of material to work with and loads of anger to fire it up!
Oliver Anthony – thoughts after the show
After talking for 70+ years, I couldn’t come close to coherently expressing 4 minutes of thought about what he experienced…while driving. God bless and keep you Oliver.
I downloaded several of his songs. He writes with passion and tells it like it is.
An incredible program today on Wealthion titled: ‘“Rich Men North of Richmond” is the War Cry The Working Class Has Been Waiting For’
Meanwhile on the Blaze network: Jason Whitlock says this: The ‘Rich Men’ of the music industry will seek to destroy Oliver Anthony.
https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/oped/whitlock-the-rich-men-of-the-music-industry-will-seek-to-destroy-oliver-anthony
Do you smell it? There’s FEAR in the air from the leaders and rich folks. They’re afraid of us waking up and holding people accountable. They’re increasing the censorship and it’s not enough.
Both the song and the written screed are magnificent.
The best line in that whole song is if you’re 5’3” and 300 pounds, you want the Government to pay for your fudge rounds!!! I would like a fudge round right now but I am 5’10” 180 pounds and can pay for my way out of the grocery store!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Go back to the drawing board and sign a song about South of the Dixie Mason Line. Georgia is rouge and needs attention now.
I never paid much attention to country music before now, not caring for a lot of the subject matter. THIS music pushes my buttons…love Oliver. A true son of (Mad) Anthony, using his lyrics and guitar to say: “The Battle has been joined”. His words will help bring clarity to our cause. May integrity and commonsense become the norm.
Oliver Anthony and Jason Aldean represent the renaissance of real country music and the beginning of the end of the boring predictable, over produced, banal Nashville establishment version of country music that America has been subjected to for the last 20+ years.
Big time Country star John Rich has offered to produce Anthony’s debut album. I hope he doesn’t “slick it up” and sticks to the Anthony’s intent….spare and somewhat unrefined.
I’m glad to see that I am not the only one to notice Mr. Anthony. In fact, I am glad to see so many have picked up his song. Hopefully, this will mean a windfall for him.
Certainly, I identify with the way he puts voice to the common man’s pain (as I explain in Why “Rich men North of Richmond” resonates so much with me (and likely you, too)
Wow. I listened to the songs identified above and read two excellent articles:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/08/rich_men_north_of_richmond_a_stirring_ballad_for_the_real_forgotten_man.html
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/oliver-anthony-is-no-anomaly/
Raw emotion and passion. Anthony found a way to put into music what Sundance has been writing about for years. I know that was not Anthony’s intent, and may not have known who Sundance is until, maybe, recently. But, he still did it.
Great to see some of the conservative country stars show support and offers to promote and produce.
I have recently retired. I worked in IT in manufacturing. One company I worked for was acquired by a foreign company. In 2008. It did not end well. I was fortunate to find other jobs. It was not easy. I was older, but did find work, but not at the compensation level I had known. We are not wealthy by any means, but we did, can, and will live our best lives.
In any event, kudos to Anthony and those showing support
Here is a challenge to those with means and want to support Anthony and his message: form an investment company to start bringing manufacturing and jobs back to the USA. Meet with Donald Trump. Not to ask for his help financially, but rather for his advice as to what to do, where to look, develop a strategy, sources of financing and management, places to invest, etc. The rust and coal belts might be good areas to start in. There are millions of people wanting to work.
This country desperately needs leadership. It will not be found in government. DJP has shown us what leadership is and what it can accomplish. Let’s see who can and will put their money where their music is (where their mouths are).
