Is Satellite Communication An Alternative In a Grid-Down Crisis?

 This is an excerpt from my book Emergency Preparedness and Off-Grid Communication.

One option for communication when internet and cellular services are not available is a device that connects to a satellite network. A personal locator beacon (PLB) is a satellite-linked device that, when activated, sends a distress signal to nearby search and rescue units. Typically used for mountaineering, they can be used in other emergencies, but caution should be exercised. PLBs should only be activated in an actual emergency.

For years, two-way satellite communication required buying a phone and paying for a monthly data plan. Satellite phones and data plans can be cost-prohibitive. In 2022, top-tier Apple iPhones offered satellite communication for emergencies. The service is not available for messaging friends and family. It only works if your phone does not have wireless or cellular service. It allows you to send and receive text messages with emergency services near you. When used with an app, it can send your location to people in your emergency contact list.

In 2023, Qualcomm announced that it would partner with Iridium to offer Android phones that connect to a satellite network to provide similar services. Samsung announced it will soon offer phones with satellite connectivity. So far, phone manufacturers are only aiming to provide connection to emergency services. Off-grid communication with friends and family is not an option.

Satellite communication with friends and family via smartphone is available with a device that connects to a satellite network. These devices are sold by Zoleo, Bivy Stick, Garmin, and other manufacturers. They connect to a smartphone or tablet by Bluetooth and a mobile app. The communicator sends text or email messages composed on the app over a satellite network.

The Zoleo communicator allows text or email messages to be sent to any email address or phone number that has service, even if the receiving party is not on the Zoleo network. When a message is sent, the device will first try to send it over a cellular or wireless network. If one is not available, it will be sent over the satellite network. Since charges are incurred for each message sent, this reduces monthly costs. Zoleo’s monthly plans start at $20 per month. Once a user has had a paid monthly plan for three months, the plan can be paused indefinitely for $4 per month and restarted at any time.

It may sound like a bomb-proof solution, but there may be a fly in the ointment. Satellite communicators receive messages from a user who may not have internet or cellular access. The communicator sends a signal directly to a satellite. So far, so good. If the entire message chain were space-based, there would be no problem during a terrestrial internet disruption. But if, at any point, the message must go through a ground-based internet gateway, an internet outage that affects that gateway would render this option unusable. I spoke with a Zoleo technical support assistant who confirmed their system does use ground-based servers to handle messaging traffic. The assistant could not state confidently that their service would be available during a widespread internet outage. The availability of satellite service would seem to depend on how widespread the internet outage is. If traffic from an affected area could be rerouted to an unaffected area, messages may go through. When cellular carriers are not able to provide service, satellite communicators are a good alternative, but it is unclear just how reliable they would be during a widespread internet outage.

Satellite Internet

Many people have switched to satellite internet service providers like Starlink. Some believe that satellite internet service will be available when other internet providers don’t have service. As popular as this idea is, it has a major flaw. Although the end user receives their internet data via satellite, that data passes through the same ground-based servers used by all internet providers. Until satellite internet providers host their own servers in space, their services will be susceptible to the same disruptions as other providers.

One issue with satellite, cellular, and internet services is that the end user doesn’t control the network. While it’s convenient to use a communication network someone else maintains, the availability of service is completely dependent on others. In a crisis where communication networks are not available, it's preferable to have equipment that you control. That is where our discussion turns to the use of radios. With two-way radio, the end user controls the network.

Listening for Information During a Grid-Down Crisis

 This is an excerpt from my book Emergency Preparedness and Off-Grid Communication.

In a crisis, it’s essential to have information. When internet and cell phone services are unavailable, we must find alternate ways of gathering it. We can do that by listening to public broadcasts and emergency responder radio traffic.

AM and FM Radio

Some AM and FM radio stations have emergency backup power. During a crisis where cellular or internet service is not available, these stations should be able to provide information about the severity and duration of a crisis. Metropolitan areas typically have stations that are designated as emergency broadcast stations that provide information during a crisis. It would be wise to find out in advance which stations near you are designated as emergency broadcast stations. Write down their frequencies and keep them with other important information. Most vehicles have AM and FM radios, though some newer models may not have AM radio service. TIP: Many handheld radios designed for use by amateur radio operators, such as the Baofeng UV-5R, can receive FM broadcast stations.

Scanners

A scanner is type of radio that can be used to listen to law enforcement, fire, and emergency service dispatchers and responders. Scanners do not transmit signals. Whether a scanner will receive radio traffic in your area depends on the type of radios used by public safety agencies. Some public agencies use radios that can be heard with a scanner, but many have switched to encrypted radios. Traffic on these radios cannot be scanned. Radio traffic that is encoded, but not encrypted can be heard with a scanner capable of decoding the signals. Before purchasing a scanner, find out what type of radios are used by the agencies in your area whose traffic you want to listen to. You should also decide whether you want to transmit messages in a crisis. Some handheld radio transmitters also have scanning capabilities. You could scan local emergency traffic and transmit using a single radio. Prices for handheld scanners begin at $25. Models capable of scanning encoded radio traffic can cost as much as $650.

Weather Broadcasts

In the U.S., you can listen to NOAA weather broadcasts with a radio capable of receiving one of seven channels within the frequency range of 162.400 through 162.550 MHz, collectively known as the weather band. The frequencies are 162.400 MHz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450 MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz, 162.525 MHz, and 162.550 MHz.

Shortwave Listening

Hundreds of radio stations across the globe broadcast news, weather, and entertainment by transmitting signals that skip off the atmosphere, which are received by listeners thousands of miles away. (We will discuss this phenomenon in more detail in later chapters.) Many of these stations will be on the air during a grid-down emergency. You can stay abreast of current events if you have a shortwave radio capable of receiving these transmissions. Shortwave radios are not capable of transmitting voice messages, but they can receive them.

An inexpensive multi-band radio can receive transmissions from local AM and FM broadcast stations, weather channels, and shortwave stations. A radio requires a power source, and the usual power supply may not be available in an emergency. Kaito’s Voyager line of radios can be powered by a solar panel, hand crank, a home power outlet, and batteries. Some models come with a USB charger and 12-volt adapter.

C. Crane and Tecsun make more sophisticated shortwave listening radios that offer a broader range of frequencies and modes, such as single sideband, which amateur radio operators commonly use. For optimum listening, a long wire can be attached to the standard antenna of any radio. Some radios have an accessory port where an extension antenna can be connected.

A learning curve must be negotiated if one hopes to become adept at shortwave listening (SWL). It’s not as simple as turning your radio on. You must know what frequencies carry the information you need and when certain stations are on the air. That takes research and practice. Operating a radio is a diminishable skill. Over time, we tend to forget how to operate equipment. Wise preppers exercise survival skills regularly, and radio is no exception. If you want to be proficient in an emergency, practice using your radio at least once a month.

How the Soul is Wounded and How It Is Healed

 This is an excerpt from my book Emotional Healing Made Simple.

At conception, God places a spirit from heaven inside a fertilized egg, and a soul is formed. When the soul is created, it is crafted in perfection. It is unblemished, and in a sense, it is like a clean slate—waiting to be written upon by the world. Every interaction with another spirit or soul leaves an impression on us. Our soul is shaped by the interactions we have. Every video we watch, each interaction we have with a coworker, all our demonic dreams, and every encounter with God impacts the person we are becoming. Positive influences cause our souls to prosper. Negative influences inflict damage. The cumulative impacts and effects upon our soul over a lifetime mold and shape us into who and what we are, for better or worse.

The person we are today is largely a product of our experiences—that and the DNA from which we were created. The soul has the capacity of free choice. The ability of the soul to direct itself cannot be overridden by any living being without the soul’s consent, and the will of God does not negate its choices. The soul can choose whether to love or to hate, to curse or bless, and to accept or reject all things in creation. The will of the soul—and the choices it makes—form the personality of an individual. The capacity to develop a unique personality based on collective choices and experiences is what the soul does. It creates the personality.

To explain the mechanism of emotional trauma, I’d like to illustrate how physical trauma damages the physical human body. When the body suffers physical trauma, several actions occur. If, for example, the trauma is a knife wound, the blood vessels damaged by the knife edge will bleed. Sensory nerves send electrical impulses to the brain that are interpreted as pain. If the wound is not cleaned, other living beings, such as bacteria, can inhabit the wound, and it may become infected. If the infection spreads, it may cause sepsis and affect the entire body. Physical trauma can be healed with the use of a cleansing agent, antibiotics, and proper wound care.

Similarly, the soul can be wounded by trauma. Since the soul is the place where emotions are processed, the trauma suffered by the soul is not physical but emotional. Just as physical trauma can involve burns, electrical shock, and blunt trauma, the soul can be wounded in various ways. Verbal abuse is perhaps the most common cause of emotional trauma. Physical and sexual abuse and abandonment all cause emotional wounds as well.

Emotional trauma changes us in at least two distinct ways. First, it affects the way in which we interact with others. If one has had traumatic experiences with law enforcement officers, for example, they are likely to be distrustful of the police. If one has been abused by their father, they may resist the claim that God the Father can be trusted. Emotional trauma also changes us physically.

In the same way that bacteria can inhabit a physical wound if it is not properly cared for, evil spirits can inhabit soul wounds. Just as bacterial infection can cause sickness affecting the entire body, demons can cause ailments that affect the physical body. Many diseases and chronic pain syndromes are manifestations of demons that are attached to emotional wounds of the soul. The degree to which the soul and body are affected is determined by the severity of emotional trauma and the particular types of demons involved.

If we have physical or emotional problems presently, they may be the result of events that happened in our past. If we want to change our present behavior and if we’re going to live in good physical health, we must change the way emotional trauma from the past affects us.

The healing of emotional trauma is poorly understood among believers, perhaps because it is not clearly demonstrated in the Bible. You can read through the New Testament gospels and find demonstrations of physical healing, miracles, and deliverance from evil spirits, but that is not so for emotional healing. However, the Bible does address the subject.

The book of Isaiah revealed much about the ministry of the Messiah hundreds of years in advance. Consider the following passage where Jesus taught in the synagogue:

So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

LUKE. 4:16-21

Jesus fulfilled the long-awaited prophecy of the Messiah. One segment of the prophecy says: “He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted.” The Hebrew word for brokenhearted, “sabar” (Strong’s #H7665), means to break in pieces. Jesus came to heal anyone whose heart (or soul) had been shattered into pieces. How is a soul shattered into pieces? Emotional trauma causes wounds to the soul. The parts of a wounded soul are the broken or shattered pieces referenced in this verse. Jesus puts the broken parts of the soul back together through the process of healing and integration. (Later chapters will cover in greater detail how these parts of the soul are created and how they are healed.)

Now, consider this prophecy about the Messiah:

He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

ISA. 53:3-5

In this passage, a prophecy is given that the torture of the Messiah (Jesus) would provide a way for us to be healed. This idea is usually applied to physical healing, but the prophet indicated that it applied to emotional healing as well. He wrote: “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Grief and sorrow are painful emotions caused by trauma. If Jesus has borne these negative emotions for us, we no longer need to bear them. We can literally give our negative emotions to Him.

Trump Will Save America ... Again

For about six months, TV and radio personalities have been asking Donald Trump if he plans to run again for President in 2024. He's dodged the question each time, claiming that campaign laws preclude him from making a commitment. I've never believed for one minute that he had plans to run again in 2024. I believe he intends to return to the White House much sooner, and I've shared my theories as to how that may happen. 

Last night, Laura Ingraham asked Trump one more time to reveal a little more about his plans for the future. Trump reviewed how he had created the greatest economy in history and how the covid pandemic ruined what he had worked so hard to build. He then recalled how he rebuilt the economy only to have Joe Biden take the reins and ruin it again. 

Ingraham then asked, "Are you the one to save the country after Biden?" 

Trump replied, "Well, let me put it this way... I love our country, and I think a lot of people are going to be very happy."

   

Trump has said "I think people are going to be very happy" many times in the past, but the context has always been uncertain. Was he referring to the 2024 election, or something else? 

We now know that he plans to rebuild the economy for the third time after Joe Biden and the DC swamp have destroyed it. Trump is working to build a legacy for himself as the greatest President in American history. Rebuilding the economy three times while suffering relentless attacks from the deep state, the medical technocracy, Silicon Valley tech giants, and the media will earn him that distinction. I won't debate whether he should have done something to prevent Biden from destroying the country. It's a moot point. For reasons that are unknown to us (at present), Trump and his allies have opted to wait for a red line to be crossed before making their move. 

There is strategic value in having Durham indict corrupt political figures and Ghislaine Maxwell's trial play out while Biden is President. No one can accuse Trump of weaponizing the DOJ. 

 

As our difficulties increase, people are growing more desperate for a solution. Imagine how the public's perception of society and politics will change watching Trump save the country for the third time and witnessing the exposure and prosecution of corrupt people. 

For those who are wondering, I believe the removal of corruption will be global. Just as corrupt people were removed from power in Saudi Arabia (SA) in 2017, they will be removed from power here in the US, and then in Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.

Supernatural Saturday - Where Do Dreams Come From?

A discussion on the origin of dreams.

   

 For more information, check out my book Dream Interpretation Made Simple.

The Origin and Nature of Dreams

There is much debate today about the origin and meaning of dreams. Have you ever noticed that in dreams, you know certain facts without ever being told them? You know your brother will get a new job. You know the car in front of you will go through a red light. You know your boss is embezzling money. No one had to tell you these things. You know them, just as surely as you know your name. We know things in dreams without being told them because dreams are spiritual in nature, and spiritual information is not communicated through speech, but through thoughts—directly to our spirit. 

The human brain has difficulty making sense of spiritual information because it is of a different nature than intellectual information. Spiritual knowledge is information of a different order. Allow me to illustrate this difference: 

The brain can make sense of the emotion our soul produces called grief when it is connected to the intellectual context of a situation called death. In this case, the brain’s cognitive center receives a message of death and the soul attaches the emotion of grief to it. The emotion and the intellect agree. The brain can likewise understand the emotion called joy when the cognitive setting is a wedding. Again, there is emotional and intellectual agreement. This is how the soul and brain—emotion and intellect—normally operate. But in dreams, we’re just as likely to feel joy when someone dies or grief at a friend’s wedding. Dreams create emotional and intellectual disagreement. 

 The fact that an emotion is felt in a dream does not necessarily mean it is created in the soul. If the soul were to create an emotion, it would likely correspond to an appropriate event. The fact that in a dream, the emotion is connected to an inappropriate event suggests that emotion and event are joined by some other mechanism. That other mechanism is our spirit. Like the soul, the spirit receives and transmits emotions but it does so for a completely different purpose. 

Our spirit sends and receives messages that have symbolic rather than literal (logical) meaning. Spiritual messages are not about what they seem to be. Our brain doesn’t understand them because they’re symbolic rather than literal, and they must be decoded. Our soul doesn’t understand them because it did not create them. Dreams are an enigma to the soul and body because they are manifestations of our spirit. 

Some dreams do originate in the soul. These dreams, like a poorly written tale, have no point. Because they’re not spiritual in nature, they’re not symbolic, and the dreamer typically doesn’t feel a strong emotion. Soul dreams are devoid of the encouragement, instruction, warning, or other features found in spiritual dreams. Although most dreams are spiritual in nature, they are not created by our spirit. They’re created and sent by other spirit beings. Some spirits act as messengers. Under the right circumstances, our spirit receives them.

The Coming Military Storms

 The 4th in a series of messages on where America may be headed following the 2020 election.

During the last three months, I’ve had many dreams that seem to illustrate aspects of the 2020 presidential election. Although I usually have a fair number of literal dreams, most of my recent ones have been symbolic, making them harder to interpret with precision. I’ve been waiting for God to provide a glimpse of what may happen as we approach the inauguration on January 20th. I typically have one dream a night, but last night, I had two.

In the first dream, I watched as people held a competition to see who was the greatest supporter of President Trump and MAGA. I did not see a winner of the completion declared. I was only aware that the competition was being held. I did not have a positive or negative feeling about the contest.

In the second dream, I watched as many high ranking members of the military posted messages on social media. Their posts became more numerous, and eventually, they took up all the available bandwidth, and no one else could post except them. This was portrayed in the dream as Internet traffic grinding to a halt while only the military was able to communicate messages.

I then saw this activity represented symbolically as many soldiers walking briskly through a hallway and then walking more slowly after a bottleneck developed. The soldiers walked slower until their movement finally stopped. Some soldiers stood patiently in the hallway while others decided to sit down.

In the next scene, I saw this same activity represented symbolically on a weather map. I saw a group of four tropical storms lined up close together from east to west in the Gulf of Mexico. The eyes of the storms were rotating but stationary. I knew in the dream that the actions of the military corresponded to the storms. The storms caused a halt to all activity. I noticed on the map that although the storms were stationary, there was an inflow of water feeding them. The inflow of water originated in the southwest corner of the map, while the outflow was toward the northeast corner. That’s the summary of the two dreams.

Interpretation

The interpretation of the first dream seems straightforward. The President and his Make America Great Again agenda remain as popular as ever, and Trump’s influence is far from over. This dream may give an indication of the subject matter of the second dream, which also has to do with President Trump.

There is currently a massive troop buildup underway in Washington DC, ostensibly for the purpose of riot control in connection to the presidential inauguration on the 20th. The joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. military have issued a public statement saying they expect a smooth and orderly transition to the Biden administration. I suspect that the second dream portrays a hidden reality—a turbulent time ahead where the military’s actions will be the main focus of everyone’s attention, to the point where all other news becomes irrelevant.

In the dream, the military’s actions resulted in the inability of ordinary people to communicate on social media. That could portray an obsession with military actions in general. It might also illustrate a literal internet blackout. Perhaps both situations are shown.

In the last scene, the actions of the military were portrayed as a series of four tropical storms. That imagery is the subject of my Q Chronicles books. The thesis of the series is that at some point in the future, institutional corruption will be prosecuted, and the prosecution is portrayed as a coming storm. Since the FBI and DOJ have shown no interest in prosecuting high-level corruption, it seems that if it is to be done, it will be done by the military. I would interpret this scene as confirmation that the prosecution of institutional corruption is approaching, and it will be done by the military.

The actions of military leaders were represented in the dream by four distinct but closely connected tropical storms. This may represent the idea that the military intends to achieve four different goals, or the individual storms may represent four phases of an operation. Each storm may represent a person. If so, they could be the four Trump loyalists at the Pentagon who were appointed on November 9th—Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller, his Chief of Staff Kash Patel, Undersecretary for Policy, Anthony Tata, and Undersecretary for Intelligence, Ezra Cohen Watnick.

Lastly, I was shown that the inflow of water feeding the storms came from the southwest corner of the map, and the outflow was in the northeast corner. Washington DC is in the northeast part of the United States. This may suggest that the brunt of the coming storm (the prosecution of corruption) will be directed at this part of the country, and not just Washington DC, but perhaps cities like New York and Philadelphia.

Welcome to the Second American Revolution

As most of you know, yesterday, Mike Pence presided over the counting of the electoral college vote. Contrary to what many of us hoped for, he refused to consider the votes for Donald Trump that electors from several states had submitted. In doing so, he allowed Joe Biden to be declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential election. While many people are rehashing the day’s events, friends are asking me what happens next. In this article, I’ll share my thoughts on what may happen over the next few months.

This morning, Dan Scavino tweeted a message on behalf of the president.

Statement by President Donald J. Trump on the Electoral Certification:

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our...

— Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) January 7, 2021

...fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

— Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) January 7, 2021

The message was posted by Scavino because Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have either temporarily or indefinitely suspended the President’s accounts. (More on that in a minute.)

When listening to the President’s message the evening of January 4th, at the rally in Georgia, I noticed, for the first time, uncertainty and nervousness in his voice when he talked about what Mike Pence might do on January 6th. That same nervousness was apparent yesterday when he addressed the crowd that had gathered at the capital.

Although Pence’s decision to allow Biden to be declared President surprised (and disappointed) me, I don’t think it surprised Trump. His nervousness suggested that he was concerned. I suspect he may have known that Pence was not up to the task. That would explain why Pence said on the 4th that he would allow debate during the joint session of Congress, but did not mention any other options. I believe Pence had already made up his mind what he was going to do, and I think Trump knew it. If the President knew what Pence’s had planned to do, we might assume that POTUS had a contingency plan.

The President allowed the Justice Department the opportunity to acknowledge and address election fraud. Bill Barr refused, and his resignation in December signaled that the DOJ is not interested in the matter. The Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for safeguarding election integrity, has likewise refused to acknowledge fraud. The Supreme Court has had dozens of opportunities but has refused to hold even one evidentiary hearing on election fraud. A handful of state legislators tried to address the problem, but as a whole, state legislative bodies have failed to address the issue. The U.S. Congress likewise failed, despite the efforts of a handful of patriots. Lastly, the Vice-President failed to even consider providing the remedy prescribed by the Constitution. (That remedy is explained in previous posts).

Our system of government provides many checks and balances to prevent fraud and corruption. In the past, election fraud was present, but it was not widely known. Now, it has been exposed to the public, and every civilian institution charged with addressing it has refused to do so. When civilian institutions refuse to acknowledge corruption, the responsibility falls upon the military.

Donald Trump will remain President until at least January 20th. While there is no constitutional path to keep him in office after the 20th, he has claimed over the last four years to have the complete support of the military. It’s worth noting that on November 9th, Trump replaced the Secretary of Defense, his Chief of Staff, and two Undersecretaries with people known to be loyal to him. Those moves suggest that Trump anticipated this would come down to using the military to save the Republic. President Trump is heading to Camp David this weekend, where he often consults with military leaders. I have no way of knowing if he plans to use some type of military intervention, but some signs are pointing in that direction.

President Trump will head to Camp David this weekend, a White House official confirms to @CBSNews.

FAA restrictions are in place from Friday-Sunday.https://t.co/toHJFbj6AD

— Sara Cook (@saraecook) January 7, 2021

Some members of Congress are presently trying to impeach Trump while others are urging Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office immediately. If the swamp is convinced Trump will leave office without a fight, why are they trying to remove him early by force? Are they concerned that he might try to use the military, or perhaps declassify incriminating information about them, or make public more evidence of fraud?

Today, the U.S Army is erecting a seven-foot-tall barrier around the perimeter of the White House and Acting Defense Secretary Miller has authorized 6,000 National Guardsmen to keep the peace in Washington DC. All of this despite the fact that Washington DC is peaceful right now. Does Miller expect civil unrest?

Regardless of which candidate won, come January 20th, there were going to be millions of angry Americans who believed the election was stolen. Today, more than 70 million Trump supporters are mad as hell at the government. Obviously, the Department of Defense anticipated that, and they're taking the necessary precautions.

Joe Biden has already told us he plans to implement a nationwide covid lockdown, which will result in the government destruction of millions of private businesses. We know the end game is to implement the Great Reset—a plan that replaces capitalism with communism.

If you think millions of Americans (many of whom are former military) will passively allow their nation to be destroyed, you’re delusional. If the military does not intervene and if Biden is inaugurated on the 20th, we could be headed for a second revolution.

Some have talked about civil war, but there is little chance of that. Civil war involves combat between fellow countrymen over ideological differences. American patriots don’t have an issue with their fellow countrymen. They’re pissed because a criminal syndicate is running their government.

China's government controls its population through several mechanisms; the most common is limiting access to information. This non-violent approach to controlling the population is very effective. China is, in essence, waging a non-violent information war against its citizens. Many people have observed that Americans are also engaged in an information war. Tech companies are taking more steps every day to limit the flow of information between patriots. That’s why so many of our friends have been banned from Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. When access to information is limited, Silicon Valley's overlords gain more control.

One strategic goal in warfare is cutting off communication between soldiers and their leaders. Without clear orders from leaders, soldiers quickly become confused and demoralized. Silicon Valley knows that. Why do you think they suspended President Trump’s social media accounts yesterday? They intend to cut off communications between POTUS and his supporters.

A secondary goal is cutting off communications between team members. When digital soldiers can’t communicate with each other, they can’t share information or develop strategies. I expect the normal means of communications to be more severely restricted in the near future—not just banning from social media but the closing of email accounts. I would not be surprised if operating systems for computers and mobile devices are disrupted, at least temporarily.

The deep state has us engaged in a cold (information) war because they know if the war ever went hot, it would not go well for them. Millions of patriots could overrun government institutions in a matter of days. That is what politicians fear most. Patriots don't want this; we prefer a solution from President Trump.

I’d like to be clear: I am not endorsing revolution. I am not advocating the overthrow of our government. On this website, I analyze political and current events and provide commentary. My analysis is that revolution seems likely if elected leaders continue to deny election fraud. That analysis is based on observing current events and comparing them with historical trends. History shows that when politicians are elected through fraudulent schemes and they deny the existence of fraud after it is revealed to the public, inevitably, violent insurrection or military intervention is the solution.

Nevertheless, I am asking readers to pray that a peaceful resolution is found to the injustices we've seen, and pray that if the use of force is deemed necessary, it is over quickly. 

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The Crisis is Over—I’m Returning to Normal

 It's been three weeks since the 2020 election and many people feel like they've been riding on an emotional roller-coaster. It has been an honor to stand beside patriots who stood fast, firm in their convictions, and refused to surrender their hope for the future of our nation.

The path for President Trump to obtain enough votes in the electoral college to win re-election has now been revealed. The effort hinges on the public exposure of election fraud in hearings that began last Wednesday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and continue next week in Arizona on Monday and Michigan on Tuesday.

Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani have made clear their strategy for getting Donald Trump re-elected. They intend to present evidence of widespread election fraud that calls into question the validity of the popular vote in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Although the public spotlight is currently focused on lawsuits that may prove in court claims about election fraud, it's worth remembering that Presidents are not elected by the courts. In December, state legislatures will choose electors who will vote in the electoral college on December 14th. The vote of the electoral college will determine the next President.

Although a state's electors typically vote in accordance with the popular vote of that state, the public hearings on election fraud are intended to present compelling evidence to state legislators as to why they should choose electors who will ignore the popular vote of their state and instead vote for Donald Trump.

Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona all have Republican-controlled state legislatures. Giuliani and Ellis are presenting evidence that the popular vote is fraudulent, which will remove the expectation that legislators must honor it when choosing electors. Having discredited the popular vote, Trump's attorneys will remind Republican legislators that they have the power to choose electors as they see fit. Giuliani and Ellis will dare legislators to choose Biden over Trump and justify that decision to their constituents.

That, in a nutshell, is Donald Trump's path to re-election. It will be difficult for state legislators not to choose electors for Trump once evidence of election fraud has been provided to them and to the public. Indeed, the Republican legislators who will choose electors have already signaled their intent to support Trump by agreeing to hold these hearings in the first place. The outcome of the electoral college vote is merely a formality.

It's true, the media will vehemently protest such a move and claim that electors are chosen by voters on election day and that legislators cannot overrule them. But Article II of the Constitution is clear—state legislators are not required to honor the popular vote when choosing electors, even in states where laws have been passed to that effect. Chief Justice Rehnquist argued that point in Bush v. Gore as noted by Lawfare.

In exercising their power to decide how electors are to be chosen, legislatures could not be constrained by either state law or the state’s constitution. If a state’s constitution, for example, said that the people shall choose the electors in an election, that rule did not in fact constrain the state legislature. Instead, “after granting the franchise” to the people, as a majority of the Supreme Court in Bush put it, a legislature could “take back the power to appoint electors” “at any time.” Or put differently, when the legislature acted pursuant to the power granted to it by Article II, it stands above any limits imposed by state law.

I believe Donald Trump will be re-elected. His legal team has developed a brilliant strategy and Republican legislators are on board with the plan. There is little that can be done to stop Trump from being re-elected.  While many people will choose to fret over the outcome of the election, I choose to see it as the inevitable outcome of a superior strategy. It's time to move on.

It has been an honor to provide information and commentary on the election and its tumultuous aftermath. I can say today with confidence that the election crisis we've experienced—whether real or only perceived— has come to an end. And with it, my daily news updates will also come to an end.

Providing daily news updates was an experiment. I didn't know if I could maintain the discipline and workflow over the long haul, but the last two months have allowed me to test my ability and interest in daily broadcasting. As it turns out, the time and effort required to produce a daily news show are not a sustainable model, at least not for me.

You may have noticed that since I began producing daily news shows, I haven't published any articles. I've made no progress on the many books I have in the works. Producing a daily news broadcast (at least the way I do it) takes between 4 and 8 hours a day, depending on the news that's breaking on any given day. Broadcasting every day leaves no time for writing. I could continue doing daily news broadcasts indefinitely, but I would likely ever write another book, and I would only publish an occasional article.
I'm a writer at heart. Although many people appreciate my broadcasts, it's not where my mojo is.

I've decided to return to the workflow I've had for the last three years. My daily news broadcasts will end. I'll focus most of my time on writing articles and books. I'll publish broadcasts when Q is posting or when significant news is breaking, and I feel I have a message that may help friends understand the current situation.

Thank you for your continued prayer and support and your understanding regarding this decision.

p.s. If you're looking for a daily news source, I would recommend the X22 Report. Dave's approach to delivering the news and his perspective on current events is similar to mine. He's been providing daily broadcasts for years. His videos are available on Rumble and on his website  X22.com.
