The number one question raised is how to unite the general population of normal Americans and find a common way to push back against the radicals who have taken control of government and the domestic power structures aligned with the public-private partnership.
There have been several discussions centered around the use of federalism; factually, there is a good argument to be made that tactical civics can have a strong impact on the overall dynamic of a detached, disinterested and yet weaponized system of government. However, the flaw within this process is thinking the power center operators care about what is happening at the boundaries of our defenses.
Factually, the state elected officials and those sent to DC are part of the same system. They are detached from us. Try to contact or use the process of “constituent services” and you will quickly discover how you are viewed as a simple annoyance to those who unilaterally decide how they will participate in ruling over you.
Not only does this UniParty assembly mean our applying electoral federalism (aka tactical civics) results in a slower march toward the same cliff, it also means we are comforted by a sense of something that ultimately provides little value.
We need actionable steps that can be taken.
Additionally, we already know if Donald Trump can take the MAGA fight back to Washington DC, the entire apparatus of government, and yes that includes your elected representatives, will fight to destroy him at every opportunity. So, how exactly do we: (a) support President Trump, (b) push back against the weaponized state, (c) confront our government abusers.
There are more of us than them, yet each of our efforts seems to face the full force of “them” against a divided sense of “us.” One of the ways we have discussed direct push back is a modern version of a workers solidarity movement. Essentially the creation of a system where targeted general work strikes can have an impact on the system that is targeting us.
It is one thing to discuss the Polish Solidarity Movement in esoteric terms of endearment. It is another thing entirely to think about the application of a labor strike process within the United States where 370 million people live. However, if you apply the concept of tactical civics simultaneously, you can make an argument the tactical civics are the shield (EU truckers), and the labor strike is the spear (EU farmers).
One of the advantages we have in the USA governmental structures is the “Republican Form of Government,” or the constitutional republic and the ability of states to determine their own interests.
Think about targeting now going in reverse, where WE THE PEOPLE now target the non-compliant system operators and/or politicians. A Senator or Congress person aligns against Trump’s interests, our interests, and instead of gnashing our teeth, we immediately begin a targeted work stoppage in/around the representative’s district. In this scenario we don’t need tens of millions to make an impact, only a few thousand can completely change the dynamic.
How does it work? How is it possible? How did the people of Poland pay their bills during the solidarity strikes? How do you organize that process so that everyone can participate, and yet no one individually needs to carry the risk of losing? These nuts-and-bolts questions are part of my research mission.
How effective would a Congressional District (CD-??) “sick-out” be? Perhaps timed for every Wednesday, beginning on the {fill_in_the_blank_day} and continuing until the representative understood that he/she alone was the cause of the economic trouble in their district. You see, the general labor strike doesn’t need to be scaled to the size of Poland circa 1980’s; instead with modern communication, it can target very specific places and create just as big an impact.
The dismantling of a weaponized government first begins with a set of political representatives who are willing to take apart the institutional tools that government uses to weaponize their power. As we saw with the hyped and yet failed Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government, once the public appears to be satiated with false hope from yet another created assembly, the representative group does nothing.
The urgency of the committee silo might look entirely different if the trash was not getting picked up in the committee members’ districts. Or the lawns were not getting mowed, or the cooks stayed home, etc.
You never realize how strong you are until being strong is your only option.
I will have much more to share on this issue as we will likely have a lot of support from ordinary MAGA-minded people in a multitude of countries. The Dutch, German, Polish, Romanian, French, Spanish and Irish farmers/truck drivers are figuring out how effective it can be if they push back with strategic solidarity. We can learn a valuable lesson.
Whether Donald Trump wins the 2024 election or not, the same practical process will be needed. If Trump wins the election, it will be to provide support under the auspices of unavoidable pressure. We don’t wait for primary races; we trigger the financial consequences immediately.
More to follow, soon….
Before I was shut out of twitter/X I was posting that protests are not enough,that the political class will just wait them out and then hunt them down after they go home. Concessions from politicians that they will not impose a tax on diesel is not a win,they just put it on the shelf until they do it again. Elections will change nothing if the government workers are not changed. Elections every 4-5 years mean nothing.Soros and other ”lobbyists” don’t wait around to cast a ballot every few years ,they are working their schemes and buying their politicians on an ongoing basis, daily. Pinning hopes on ONE man is a long shot,he’s 77,he is tougher than I am,(maybe).MAGA loves the rallies but they are like a rock concert fun and feel good but what about after.I posted on X that the politicians must be driven from office or they will take revenge. Replying to British posters about the Muslim rape gangs,and those on line petitions to ”deport them” I said it was a waste of time,useless,Some Brits are also pretending to be 13 year old girls and meeting the pedo and lecturing them.I said it was a waste of time and the least they should be doing is what is done to Ukrainians who arent enthusiastic about their local nazi crazies,TAPE them to a pole with a sign and undies pulled down.Ive also posted pics of ancient Greek ships ramming other ships and asked the Brits complaining about all the illegal immigrants coming to their shoes in rubber boats to get a steel boat and go meet them.Ive been banned before from X but posting on X is like tilting at windmills.Ive asked many times at many places how we can stop paying taxes at source,income tax,sales tax??If we could starve the beast, it would be tamed,but they have the casino’s advantage.I’m with you on direct action.Im in Canada so its different from the USA.I never masked or got jabbed because the info I could gather did not support it and all the noise was too pushy.Most days I was the only unmasked person walking in town.Im retired, I thought after decades of grinding work I could go for walks,read,play with a dog,but no,they just cant leave me alone.SO this is the hill I die on,they’ve pushed me into a corner,If we prevail I will be in no mood for mercy or amnesty for those who just couldn’t leave me be.
we who just wanted to be left alone are in no mood for more of the same. The laws and practices must change.
I’m all ears on anything practical.
Keeping things legal, I’ve wondered if a lighted crosswalk could be used to stop traffic. Get a few friends, push the buttons, stop traffic, walk across. Let a few cars through and do it again, and again, and again, back and forth. Pick a busy road at rush hour but be careful.
A day-long walking tour of D.C. That could be interesting, especially if the day were chosen carefully. Elevators have buttons, too.
Many sky scrapers have had their heating and cooling systems impacted by the switch to energy efficient light bulbs…meaning the buildings are ‘cooler’ due to the less heat produced by our former incandescent or whatever they use in a sky scraper….so the buildings are now cooler, summer and winter…(a building manager explained this to me a while back and said it seems a small amount but the totality of it does add up)….winter presents a problem, no? For heating?
And good old Wally World who maintains the heating of their stores way out in Bentonville…
….I wonder if people stood in the door way coming and going…
…to dig in their purse…check a purchase in the bag, check your receipt,
stop and tie your shoe lace (can’t do a ‘slip and fall’ now can we’…. or talk to a long lost friend and ‘catch up’ with the door open…
Stop in the doorway to put on your hat and gloves…open the umbrella (slowly now, can’t be hurting anyone in your vicinity)
stand in the doorway with a cell phone and answer a text? Turn around to go back in the second door and then realize you don’t remember why you did that…then go out again and oh, answer that second text in the doorway…
What ever environmental controls they have in place will be challenged if that happens enough.
In my area, the doors face east….no frigid west or northerly wind entering the store…except for one that I know faces west…
This enterprise can only raise prices so much (to cover this tactic) as their target market is the poor.
Excuse me, someone is knocking at the door…wearing a suit and aviator frames….
This would work marvelously in the city I used to live in. There are only two roads that span the island N/S and a few causeways that span inland.
The Europeans have striking down to a science. During one of my travels for work I happened to be present when the local production workers went on a three day strike. Because the workers all belonged to a union which had very strict rules for who was qualified to work a particular role, only the board operator (the person in the production control room pushing the buttons on the process control screen) went on strike. All other workers stayed on the job. Since there was no qualified board operator on site, the chemical production had to shut down directly affecting the company financially. The other workers stayed at work and got paid. Those workers all contributed to covering the striking workers lost pay.
Although the above example only impacted the company, there are key community needs like gasoline and food that could quickly impact a state and /or national capital. The trucker income would be the part that would need to be covered. The key is determining pinch points requiring the least number of participants or a slow rolling convoy that technically does not break laws.
The bottom line is to impact government operations preferentially like is done to us when there is a government shutdown. I am sure with careful observation, there are contract services government needs to function that could be disrupted. Although disrupting activity in Austin, Texas would be an acceptable focus, pinching the specific daily life of the TX speaker of the house (the one responsible for the impeachment of Paxton) might provide a more targeted impact.
So, we take our truckloads of animal waste and dump them on the steps of their hollowed halls?
Hollowed halls? You mean the inside of their skulls?
Those are already full of it.
No, because those halls are OUR hallowed halls. The CorruptiCons are only squatting in them temporarily; they work for us (in principle). Our focus should be on removing their sorry and corrupt rear ends from OUR hallowed halls….
“You never realize how strong you are until being strong is your only option.”
But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies.
-George Orwell, “1984” (From the intro. for 1946 edition.)
Bring it! Sounds like this could be a manageable, impactful, effective way to move the needle in our favor. After all, we are the majority despite MSM implying otherwise. You’re also 100% correct about these sham committees that go on indefinitely. We’re given hope and anticipation that people will be held accountable for violating our constitutional freedoms, listen intently to the evidence & testimony….then NOTHING!!! IDK maybe this is all part of a greater plan but from all we’ve experienced over time, trust in anything is in the negative range. The uniparty has yet to realize that the people will no longer be ignored. More of “us” are taking a peaceful, patriotic stand, whether we stand alone or with others.
If WE do nothing, nothing will get done. Patriots are recognizing the need for individual involvement and are organizing. Check out these groups: TacticalCivics.com and OurCountryOurChoice.com
Nicolae Ceausescu LAST SPEECH (english subtitles)
tough crowd
What the ceaucescus needed was F-16s.
That is exciting, SD. This is the counterpoint to the Left’s incessant ungodly demonstrations.
I say we start in DC….random date to show our numbers and provide a warning for those who do evil …….”we shall repeat this everywhere USA until you conform to the Constitution of the United States….”
So happy to see SD post on this topic. IMO, a strategy of decentralized strikes is the only path forward that doesn’t involve significant violence. I don’t believe one day a week strikes in one district will have any significant impact. It’ll take widespread, national scale strikes lasting weeks or months. How to organize?
All politics is local. Organize. Use SneakerNet, flyers, posting about evernts, like the LGB stickers on gas pumps.
Agree, targeted organized strikes are the only effective answer.
LOVE IT!
Thank you, Sundance!!
So, let us vote directly on some issues instead of just candidates for office. In the information age it might be possible. All in favor of loading the UN on a slow boat to europe, aye/nay?
That is direct democracy which has its own perils. It was rejected by our founders.
Another approach is to form an organization to pressure congressmen. I’ve long felt that 1 person contacting them is a nuisance to be ignored. But 5-10,ooo PRIMARY/CAUCUS voters will make the Rep pay attention.
Think WarRoom Posse in each CD.
Does anyone have any ideas how to recruit members and communicate with them? The only idea I’ve come up with is Truth Social Groups. I do not trust Fakebook to not eliminate the group.
This of course only works in areas where the elections are not rigged. Many GOP districts would be possible. Inner cite districts are too corrupted.
I did this once in my neighborhood to make the street dept pave our road out.
I maybe got 10 irate women to call by walking around in a Sunday afternoon.
Believe me it got that councilman’s attention and action.
It doesn’t take much.
If you’ve ever read the book “I Led 3 Lives” which was written by a man who infiltrated the communist party, he talks about how they used just such tactics, and how effective they were. One paclrtiar commie operative would mobilize hoardes of moms with screaming babies in strollers simply for the visual effect. It’s time we turned the tables and beat them at their own game.
Retired Magistrate here: There are a lot of us that due to age and physical disabilities, aren’t able to do what we could before. However, we can pray, make sure we are prepared for whatever is coming, keep our family and friends close and encourage others.
My biggest disappointment is with the church, which should be praying for the return of our country to its founding principles. Too many religious leaders have given up on the United States and have focused all their attention on the rapture which they feel is imminent. Well maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. Only GOD knows. The job of Christians is to get the gospel out; not sit back and do nothing. If we give up on our country and refuse to do what we can to maintain freedom of speech, getting the gospel out becomes much more difficult.
The church’s mission is to keep working until CHRIST returns; not sit back and do nothing.
Agree. I am physically in a similar situation. The pastor of Austin Bible Church in Austin TX that I attend virtually (from MD) *does* mention the rapture at the end of every service (we will see you on Wednesday or next Sunday, rapture pending….”) , but it is a strong Bible teaching church and the knowledge of the rapture does not deter the church from fully engaging with Bible teaching, missionary work overseas, fellowship, and all members living their lives productively.
You forgot missionary work here with all the millions of unsaved souls, streaming across the border, sent by the Holy Spirit.
I’m not sure where they are with that. Their missionaries are all living overseas in their native countries and communities to which they minister. I’m pretty sure ABC in Austin welcomes any visitor who is curious and isn’t there to cause trouble.
Here is the Website for their ministry – Texas Center for Biblical Training
https://www.gracenotes.online
And here are where their pastoral training centers are in Africa:
https://www.gracenotes.online/training-centers-in-africa
Also, Pastor Bolender is an ex-Army MP. While I am sure he would minister to a person genuinely seeking information about Christ and Christian doctrine, I’m not sure he is sympathetic to the illegal invasion. They are not a declared sanctuary for illegal migrants.
You triggered a memory from my childhood in the Canal Zone..we would often go and help the missions in the ‘intereior’ of Panama…villages off the beaten track, gravel and mud roads, mostly jungle….would get their water from a pump at the center of the village….I remember on Sundays, seeing these humble people carry their shoes to church and put them on before going in the church building…they ‘saved’ wear and tear on probably the only shoes they owned back then.
Whoa. That’s some real “gettin’ down with the locals” kind of volunteerism.
Sounds similar to my church. However, our pastor does not teach the rapture. He says there is no place in the Bible that says there will be a “rapture”, at least not in terms of all the “saved” Christians being scooped up to Heaven without having to go through the tribulations.
He us preparing us to follow whatever God has appointed and anointed us to do -apostle, priest, teacher, and to “prepare the way for the Coming of the Lord.”
Marcia, I so agree with you…I grieve over my very traditional church slipping to today’s politics…and taking money from Catholic Charities for the illegals…..I talk to the Lord often about how angry and often, hateful, that i feel towards these people responsible for this and it is very hard to find the love I should have…I think its part of lucifer’s plan.
It IS imminent, prophecy tells us “what time it is” so to speak. There’s nothing wrong with warning the flock to be ready when He returns. One can do that and still get the gospel out too. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
The Eagle Pass truck convoy should move on to encircle the DC beltway, and choke it off – nothing in, nothing out.
The Eagle Pass truck convoy was a total of what, about 50 trucks?
Much ballyhoo about little.
Apparently the J6 Reichstag Fire 2.0 had its intended effect.
(And apparently the writ of habeus corpus does not apply in D.C.)
The DC Beltway is not in DC. It is in Maryland and Virginia.
The original, large convoy in 2022 did, to a large degree, what you posit because they had the numbers. They even got some big rigs downtown. I remember the airhorns echoing quite well. I remember the cops bringing out the snowplows to block the freeway off ramps and some civilians were injured in traffic accidents as a result. They got noticed. Cruz and Jordan met with the leaders, as did other folks on the Hill.
Problem is longevity. Whatever action is taken has to, like in Europe, be persistent. Persistently painful.
Sounds ok but how would you include retired folk or unemployed in helping with the impact?
Nobody shops on Wednesday and Thursday – Don’t spend a dime
Economic warfare.
I’m retired. On purpose. I closed my business in protest.
Make choices to not support the Communist government and their collaborators in corporate America. Shun the humans. Deny their existence. They are nothing. Navel lint. Dehumanize them. They’re Communists or fellating the Communist. Same result.
Sounds harsh? Yes, but war is like that. We’re already in a cold war; it simply hasn’t gone kinetic yet. Plan on it. Hope it doesn’t happen, sure, but plan on it.
There aren’t more of us than there are of them, that’s the problem. A huge chunk of the population is clueless and compliant and goes along with whatever the uniparty dictates. We need to win elections, starting at the state and local level, and take back institutions. Winning elections is more important than anything else at this stage.
Winning elections 101: Get rid of all computer voting terminals. Vote in person. Count all ballots the same day.
Good. But then the already mobilized and PAID anti-everything-decent-and-sane ‘protesters’ show up, there’s conflict; only our side pays. Loathe to say it, I truly do but we’re gonna have to get our hands a lot dirtier than that. I wish people would start accepting that instead of being confronted before said reptile brain is fully charged…
i can see this working in smaller districts, but how would this work in my state where i have ONE rep? I doubt if dusty johnson is gonna g.a.s.
However, it may work on my state reps.
Its a great idea and i hope it gets wheels when the time comes.
It will work on state reps and state senators quicker than on national ones. focus and make them feels it.

aka psyops
I like where your going Sundance-big time!! Why reinvent the wheel-learn from the EU patriots and patriots all over the world. We are the vast majority in gross numbers and also in wealth of brilliant minds with ideas to crush the tyrants who seeking to steal our freedom!! I am eagerly awaiting the info you gain from your travels in Europe and perhaps elsewhere via the web. May God be with us.
Prayer is best weapon always. Let us pray that God guides us at CTH as we seek to bring Solidarity spirit to the US now.
Sundance, is your effort in any way connected to tacticalcivics.com ?
try hitting your knees in a collective attrition to the ‘GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY’ and seek forgiveness for our wanton disregard of HIS’ will in humanities ‘comings and goings … ( yea , i know it’s asking way to much , to actually allow our arrogance and stupidity to take a back seat to what is truly in our ‘collective’ best interest … ) … in reality … ‘HE’ is sending ‘HIS’ son again anyway to fix this mess … and this time ‘HE’ won’t be asking PRETTY PLEASE …
No one can lose a day of work they’re already living on credit cards. A friend of mine made more money last year than he ever had and his family is living hand to mouth. Short of marching on Washington and not leaving, a massive non-violent demonstration to collapse the government would work.
Game on.
Here is a light-hearted moment in all the solidarity seriousness. Since there have been many comments about truck convoys and cutting off services to our civil ‘servants’, I thought how about a steady stream of trucks and vans headed to the White House -all full of Prevagen, Neuriva and Brain Boost – for Joe Biden. I checked to see what products are available on line. Now, my entire feed is full of ads for dementia prevention.
I have been thinking hard about Sundance’s approach to Solidarity …
The below is something I will try and promote in Australia .
IMO we are a small nation of 20+ Million (more as the Chinese and Indian migrants are invited here by our government) but we seem to be the testing ground for bigger Western Nations.
They trialed ATMs, McDonald Kiosks, Green Energy, EV cars, Solar Panels, Mandates, Vax an almost endless list.
Now they’re trying with Digital Identities and Cashless Society. 😠
Many of us have Solar panels and we pay 3 x times as much for power from the grid than we get paid for our generated “Green” plus a daily connection charge.
Please read 👇 and addition suggestions appreciated.
https://gab.com/wlbeattie/posts/111909454045427177
WOW How happy I am NOT – after a bit of research I find that my state in Australia, gives EV Car Owners get free Electricity to charge their cars. No wonder our Greenies are happy (and quiet).
I’ll be turning my Solar Panels off between Midday and 2 PM local time.
https://wattever.com.au/compare-electric-vehicle-plans/
Agreed that something like this should be tried. But…
Targeting a specific Congressional District will only hurt the people in that district – and the people in that district would have to do it to themselves. Probably not going to happen. The RINO Congressman who doesn’t care now, will not care then either.
If you want to hurt the feds and/or big blue cities, then you need the truckers (they are the key) to just stop delivering and picking up in a specific city/area (I would vote for DC, NYC, LA, Chicago).
No need for protests, marches, closing down streets and freeways, etc. Just stop all goods from going into or coming out of a specific area or areas. Yes the trains and airplanes could still operate, but they still need trucks for distribution. Not all truckers will participate and some state and feds org have their own trucks, but that’s OK. As long as you can get 50% participation, with 75% as a goal, that should be more than enough. But you need to do it for at least a week, preferably two weeks or more to really make an impact.
How can the rest of us help? Send money and support to the truckers who participate. Maybe use “GiveSendGo” (not the woke “GoFundMe” creeps) to raise the funds. How does the money then get to the “right” truckers? Beats me, but I’m sure some smart person can work out those details.
FYI – This is where I got my “targets”:
Top 10 Largest U.S. Metro Areas by Population in 2023
My thoughts were:
Leave Texas alone, it’s a “red’ state.
Ditto for Florida.
Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona are “swing” states that Trump wants/needs, so why piss them off in an election year?
But if this works, it can always be expanded to cover other “big blue cities” that are in “blue states”, such as:
San Diego
San Jose (heck, why not the whole bay area!?!?!)
Seattle
Denver
Boston
Portland
Baltimore
etc.
💯
It would have a very interesting impact on creative vote counting if some of these creative protests severely reduced essentials in the five days running up to the election. People might have priorities other than manipulating ballot results if the area was in an uproar over a grocery shortage or similar.
And don’t leave Philly out. They (and Allegheny county) likely stole PA in 2020.
I agree with you that we can leave the red states alone. And I would say check out the maps for the blue states and be very judicious with the ones that are mostly red but have the big blue cities that tilt the balance. In Illinois in 2020, Trump won most of the counties, and overall he got 42% of the vote to Biden’s 54%. Illinois is blue but not as much as people might think. If only 7% of Biden’s votes could switch to Trump, then it would be 49% to 47% and Trump would win. Difficult but not impossible, especially now considering the poor economy and the shift of hispanics from Dem to GOP, and some blacks too.
It WILL happen, because they WON’T stop.
I have a feeling that some crisis will occur ( much bigger and more disastrous than 9/11) and Marshall Law will be declared. The election will be suspended.
Thoughts?
It won’t happen, because it will not work.
Never in this country have we experienced what you lay out.
The Supreme Court will be forced into action.
Hell, Congress will blow up over such a treasonous act alone.
Suspending a National Election is way over the top, even for the psychotic moronic globalists.
I was starting to think China might release another virus on the world, because Xi doesn’t want Trump to be President, but it’s getting to be too late now for them to interfere in our elections in that manner. They’ll have to resort to the usual hacking and misinformation.
I am a huge MAGA supporter since 2016. The leader of the Allegheny County Pittsburgh PA. Republican Committee just called me a whack job, which signals to me that Pennsylvania is going to do the same thing they did in 2020, work with Democrats to steal another election…..somehow these anti Trumpers have a hold on PA and we can’t get rid of them.
That’s no big deal; I retired from politics (as an elected official in 2010).
I was called much worse than that when I explained what was coming.
Everything I told them (because I had the receipts) came true and they are living through it, plus…
I don’t want to pry too much, but why did that person call you a whack job? Did you suggest ousting some RINOs or something?
Mostly correct about the never Trump R’s. However, if you take the total population of the 25 largest PA cities, it’s still less than half the state population. They cannot control the outcome if the “fly over” part of the state is solid.
Thank you Sundance. Been waiting for this conclusion for a while. My suggestion, as a father of 2, working as a peon at a private insurance company, in Massachusetts. We need a “know your role” situation with an even larger sample size than the CTH community.
Ex. Some of us are protestors, some of us are business owners who can push back, some are creatives who can spread a message through the arts, some of us are union workers who can strike with a collective backing. We need to establish which role each fits into, and what action brings with it consequences for the deep state.
Ex. If a no fly zone is pushed in Ukrainian, a bank run is pushed in the US. We need to utilize truckers farmers etc. in each appropriate role.
those are some great ideas. We just need to be very careful about maintaining anonymity in the process. So, no docking oneself or others. Ideas for general groups of people can be described and the people who fit those profiles will be able to apply them.
Very much agree. I think this article is a great start to an initiative that can make a difference. It’s a fundamental understanding that unless it inconveniences the govt officials directly it’s simply noise they’ll tune out
Nearly every politician, judge, and lawyer in America (aside from a few I can count on my fingers – barley needing two hands) is already on my do-not-service-or-aid-in-any-way list. Anything I can do to stop these greedy marxist scammers – sign me up!
If politicians had to live in dormitories and earn a total income no more than the average American makes, 98% of our corrupt politicians would find some other way to scam money out of people in some other occupation – perhaps Disney or CNN or some other criminal-welcoming organization. Cut off the jackpot, put the taxpayer-funded beach house out of reach, and the lowest scum of the earth will lose all desire to operate in that occupation. Criminals go for the easy money. Make it too difficult for the s.o.b. s
I have for a long time thought our US Representatives and Senators should live in dorms and make less money.
Actually I’d be willing to have a large building or complex of buildings with 535 hotel-like luxury suites in them to house our Congress members during their terms. Include secure sheltered / underground parking, top security and ensure that unauthorized people cannot access the buildings. The rent, utilities, maintenance and upkeep of those would be part of their compensation package. But that’s it. No mansions or million dollar townhouses anywhere in the area.
As far as salaries, I’m ok with current level. We expect competent people to serve; we will need to pay them accordingly. BUT… I’d say that the people in their represented district or state should have an annual vote to approve pay continuance, increases, or decreases based on merit. The Representative or Senator will have to make their case for continuance or increases based on their record of actions and votes.
And they cannot own any stock or investments from the time they start campaigning until 60 days after they leave office. During that time, all previous personal / joint investments (with any family, business, or friends) must be converted to a simple S&P 500 mutual fund and managed by a team overseen by some department under the Executive Branch and with oversight by the SEC.
Jesus’ Kingdom is not on this earth. Even He said that several times.
We are a sovereign nation which means we have borders. We are also a nation founded on principles of law and order. You cannot conflate Christian doctrine for national laws.
Illegal migrants are here illegally by choice. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to Minister to LEGAL immigrants who seek to learn.
Please stop trying to “shame” U.S. Christians who desire our federal immigration laws to be followed as well as all other laws.
Minor points, we were a nation with borders, we are no longer and we were a nation of laws, but that system has two political tiers presently, it always had a rich and a poor tier up to a point, but the political tiers are hitting us peons now.
I was replying to a specific comment that seems to have disappeared.
I was replying to a specific comment that seems to have disappeared. It was a long comment from a “NurseSusy” (new commenter to CTH?) about ministering to the illegal aliens. It appeared to be shaming Christians because we aren’t caring for all the illegals in the U.S. instead of sending missionaries to foreign countries to help and teach Gods word.
Some of the most compassionate people in the world are healthcare workers. Physicians take an oath to to “first do no harm”. Most healthcare workers go into the field testing want to do something to help people.
Consequently, some of the most abused people in the world are healthcare workers. We are continuing placed in a position where we have to choose between letting them our coworkers and leaving patients without care. If we work in our own home town, those patients we are leaving without care are our own family and friends.
Large hospital systems, force administrators to force workers to make more bricks (which our patients need) without straw. The abusers are healthcare insurance companies, large hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, health care tech, and the legislators and K street people who enable them to keep siphoning the 4 trillion dollars of our yearly GDP that are health care — away from patient care and health care workers earnig potential.
A health care walk out would be noticed immensely, especially if it included primary care, hospital workers, pharmacists, nurses, respiratory therapists, radiology techs. And you can’t easily get replacement labor.
The same dependency that has been created on health care tech and data would make them more vulnerable to us as well.
The health care system in the US is under extreme stress at the moment for all the reasons you state and because they were all forced to get jabbed in order to continue working. Now, the deaths and disability from the jabs are impacting the health care system. I lost my primary care physician who I have had for decades and who saved my mom’s life with accurate diagnosis of a Scandinavian disease last month. My cardiologist had to reschedule a 6 month in advance appointment with his assistant.
Healthcare today is a corrupt joke. The physicians who stuck it out through Coupvid either agreed with Big Pharma, took the $$$$ per patient bribes or were too chicken shit to stand up for their patients and “first do no harm” .
Healthcare workers are the most abused? I know some beat cops who would disagree with you, but I digress.
Hundreds of thousands dead worldwide from lack of realistic Coupvid treatment or murdered by Remdesivir which thousands of doctors worldwide prescribed, even though they saw with their own eyes, or were told by NURSES that the patients were dying from it.
The same doctors whom, during Coupvid, convinced my elderly dad through extreme fear mongering, to lock himself up inside and not take his daily trips about town, or his daily walking in the sunshine. Daddy had a clotting disorder. Within 6 months he was dead from his 4th heart attack… due to clots.
Same doctors who convinced my very favorite cousin who was caregiver to my 99 YEAR OLD aunt, to take the death vaccine to “protect my 99 YEAR OLD aunt” from getting Coupvid. My aunt died shortly after her 100th birthday.
Shortly thereafter, and having never been sick a day in her life, Lydia was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma and died 3 months later.
Same doctors frightened my closest friend in this town to take the death vaccine. Two days after she got it she started feeling sick as a dog and for the next 4 weeks it never let up. One day she didn’t show up for work and I could not reach her. A call to the sheriff for a wellness check; Milli was found dead on her couch.
No. Healthcare as a system long ago rid itself of truly compassionate people. Doctors no longer have private practices, now it’s just another corporate job that at the end of the day they clock out, go home, and not give a rat’s patootie about We The Patients, because they know damn well that tomorrow and the next day and the next day they will have a steady stream of ILLEGAL INVADERS, to give them business when We The AMERICAN Patients get tired of the abuse.
Thats a pretty stinging conclusion to foist on All docs, and clearly doesn’t apply to many of my colleagues. You make some pretty serious generalizations without understanding the duress that many were under. Since you mention cops, there are many cops who took the lesser of the evils in order to keep their opportunity to serve.
I am glad to see us coming to this conclusion. We must do something that hurts these people. They have absolutely no regard for our lives. They must feel it.
I have been pacified on this site for nearly a decade when we needed to be working on solidarity. But perhaps we were not ready, and may not be ready yet. But we must be soon. PDJT has done much to open our eyes, as has Sundance, Brietbart, and others.
I keep posting the twelve traditions along with Sundanc’s twelve steps for battered conservatives. The themes of the twelve traditions (same as the “non” structure of church, same as geurilla warfare and the colonial army.
Leaders, (like PDJT) are a finite, high yield target for our enemy. The Tea party, MAGA, Moral Majority, even CTH and Treepers are finite groups that can be sorted, isolated, targeted and eliminated.
90 million pissed off, nearly anonymous, freedom fighters awakening to a lethal enemy is a formidable force with an infinite scope.
That is what we must strive to become.
Trust your gut. Speak your truth. Live your best life. Throw sand. Never yield. Carry the message. Let your love and your works show your goodness and leave unmistakable tracks as your calling card.
The potential for a US Citizens’ Revolt is yet another reason the Dems are importing millions of illegal laborers/scabs, why they are moving rapidly toward a national ID tracking database, constant surveillance and digital currency, and all the other techniques of repression they can think up.
Plus the many CCP double-agents installed throughout every federal, state and local agency would just love to have their very own Tiananmen Square moment. They will not hesitate to roll in the tanks. It’s why Biden keeps saying “you need an F-16.”
Although ultimately that would be our new Lexington and Concord.
We already have a national ID tracking database. Is there any citizen of the U.S. that the government doesn’t know by name, address, job, political affiliation, number and name of people in their immediate family? Are we not already under constant surveillance if they need to know where we are? Importing millions of illegals and digital currency are the only two thing still being worked on.
They are having technical trouble bringing in the CBDC. The population is in no mood to accept an invasive tracking database. Conservatives are already pissed about several gun attempts.
I think the state’s will have to close the border. There are too many entering to wait for POTUS Trump.
Hello. I’d just like to change the comment count. Appreciate ya
National consumer boycotts would be so much easier. Everyone buy only absolute essentials. Only buy from local small businesses.
This way you still go to work, earn your income, and save money at the same time.
Start with just one week. Bud Light them all.
Corporations will be screaming at the politicians and the government over their loss of revenue.
Next time do 2-3 weeks. The economy will come to a screeching halt.
Chasing politicians and striking in their districts is a waste of time. They could care less what you think and what you have to say. They are the useful idiots of the corporations, lobbyists and the deep state.
This has to be organized by media big names who are not employed by the MSM…..Bannon, Gorka etc. They must be huge social media independents with a large audience.
Go big and keep it simple, or don’t bother.
PoliticalFleaBites has long advocated right here a War of the Flea. Fleas bite the dog(Uniparty/Swamp) where the dog can’t bite. Some examples.
1. Truckers refuse to deliver within the DC Beltway.
2. Minimum individual tax withholding.
3. Boycott businesses that support the wrong congress person.
American patriots are ready to participate. I see the comments and articles everywhere I visit online. They’re fed up with waiting while the Regime and their Masters in the WHO abuse and torment us. It’s only lack of direction with a goal that keeps them contained and frustrated. It’s not that they are doing nothing it’s just that they know more action is necessary and one person alone can only do so much when a large action is needed. Saying that does not negate anything many have done as individuals or as a collective like our boycotts. It just means as you all know and CTH especially knows, we need more and we need it as soon as possible.
But we don’t riot. We all pretend to suffer from the virus they created.
Brilliant absolutly brilliant!
AdRem, I have two comments on this thread that didn’t seem to make it
Are these them? Both posted…..
Awesome… I think it was like two years ago, in these forums, that I pointed out that we needed to do a Solidarity like strike in the US.
That strategy is quickly becoming accepted.
I see that now you are thinking about the tactics….
Most excellent.
I’ll give you an example, my own district was stolen by Katie Porter. She is supported by the political machine centered on UCI.
Shut down UCI, let the academics and students try to keep the school running while the janitors, cooks, maintenance workers, etc… go on strike.
Porter’s support will evaporate.
Such should be the tactics.
Heck, shut down the entire UC system.
++
BTW, Taxes have nothing to do with this. You can keep paying your taxes if you wish… the trick to this is to withhold your labor. WITHHOLD YOUR LABOR.
Call in sick. Tell them you got the Wuhan Flu.
“…shut down UCI, let the academics and students try to keep the school running while the janitors, cooks, maintenance workers, etc… go on strike.”
The janitors, cooks, maintenance workers, etc jobs will then be terminated and given to the Illegal Invaders whom will be willing to work for A HELLUVA LOT LESS.
I, too, eagerly await Sundance’s research on tactics. All of this looks great on paper…
you thought that too. At first your angry because you know what MAGA is up against. You keep telling yourself that violence is not the answer. Good. We don’t have to resort to the tactics of the left. It’s all they’ve got. Then i started thinking what WOULD have a real impact? After all there’s more us than there are of them. Shut er down ecooomically. Try to run the country without the hard working patriots of America. The elites would go into heart faulure. It’s like dumping the tea in the harbor and saying hell no.Another power we have is to expose them. Let them know we know what they’re up to. They gathered at the Capitol Building in DC. Wrong place. It’s the center of propaganda that matter. CNN, msnbc and the rest including Fox News.
Now they’re arguing that Biden is mentally fit. Good. We know he’s not. Who aares? If they keep saying he’s mentally fit then yes he can be indicted as soon as his little toe goes out the White House door. Mayoraks should have been imipeached and removed. He’s worthless. It would have sent a message to Joe Biden too. Unfortunately there are some flat out dumb a** Republicans. They always want to take the higher road. Eye roll on that one. It’s the stupid road. I’m not sure how we go about the future act of civil disobedience so i’m looking forward to the plan Sundance lays out. I hope we won’t need it but i doubt that will be the case.
Tiut idea is like water in a desert! Thank you! Didn’t one of Bannon’s staff come up with an app to bypass the congressional switchboard to communicate displeasure with representatives? That type of communication tool could be useful.
The truckers seem a likely group that might pressure congressional districts by withholding deliveries for the purpose of political attitude adjustment.
No deliveries or services for a week would do the trick.
When are people going to realize it is the Republican Party that is the problem. All most do is complain about the Republican Party and hope TRUMP will save us? Until the REPUBLICAN goes by the wayside NOTHING CHANGES except more complaining. By the way TRUMO needs a PARTY to change anything in GOVT and all will work against hime if by some slim chance he gets elected again.
Did that work in Canada? No it didn’t. Bank accounts confiscated, people jailed never to be heard from, truckers beaten from their own police or countries shipping in beaters to beat citizens, ruin lives, truckers can help but they will be destroyed as well. This isn’t Canada but it is becoming more and more like Canada. Very weak effeminate men in powerful positions detroying their own citizens. Every major network has gay heads in charge of the news, etc. MSMBC, CNN, etc. no coincidence. Strong men are almost nonexistent. New York what has happened to you!
Remember when those big trains formed out of Africa and surrounds into Europe. They have integrated. Never to be seen again. Those big trains are in your country.
