Do you have the feeling that we are living in the last days of a free society?
Evidence surrounds us that big government plans are moving rapidly forward to create a world where Personal Liberty, Freedom of Speech, the choice to travel, eat and drink what we chose, and even to live where we want will be controlled by the federal government.
Many of our political leaders have, by default, already surrendered American independence to China.
The American Enterprise Institute claims that Chinese firms supply more than 90 percent of US antibiotics, 70 percent of acetaminophen (Tylenol), and almost half of the anti-coagulant heparin.
This is difficult to state with certainty because of the opacity of the Chinese market and state-dominated record keeping.
Other studies suggest up to 80 percent of the basic ingredients in all US drugs come from the PRC. Medicine, Microchips, major appliances and more. Check the “made in” labels at Walmart or other retailers.
China leads the world in terms of all manufacturing with over $2.01 trillion in output, followed by the United States ($1.867 trillion), Japan ($1.063 trillion), Germany ($700 billion), and South Korea ($372 billion).
If the Chinese Communist Party decided to call in the loans owed for the outrageous national debt created by our misguided “leaders” in both political parties, our next President could be XI, or one of his puppets. Some would say this has already happened, but our media hasn’t noticed.
The Department of (In)Justice persecutes anyone with an R behind his/her name and anyone with conservative views while ignoring open lawbreakers associated with any and all liberal action, policy and causes.
Our “woke” military shapes itself to be equitable, and diverse rather than the lean, mean fighting machine that won wars and protected the world from tyranny.
A mentally and physically crippled President sends a card to a transgender person on its transition anniversary but ignores residents of an air-poisoned community and the disaster of our open borders.
I could go on for pages, but it seems pointless.
If you’ve read this far, you likely agree.
Is it time to surrender to the inevitable, or to stand strong and fight?
Indifference Is As Bad As Injustice. Do not remain silent.
We the People must stand strong to preserve this land of the free, and remain the home of the brave.
