Wisconsin Battleground Update: ‘Indy’ Voters, Mail-In Ballots in the Badger State
Both the Biden & Trump campaigns are pouring money and resources into the Badger State before Election Day, where the Rust Belt ‘Rural Red Tundra’ and urban center Democrat strongholds counterbalance each other. Legal Update: On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in a 5-3 ruling to uphold an earlier 7th Circuit Court decision that held mail-in ballots received after Nov. 3rd will not be counted.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton led in every single public poll but lost to Trump by less than 1%. Where, if at all, will ‘Indy’ voters migrate to in 2020? Too close to call at this point…

Twitter puts warning label on Trump’s post on mail-in balloting
“Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA,” Trump tweeted.
By Joseph Weber
Twitter on Monday flagged a post by President Trump about mail-in balloting as “disputed” or possibly “misleading.”
“Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA,” Trump tweeted. “Must have final total on November 3rd.”
Trump’s tweet is time stamped at 7:43 p.m., about the same time the Supreme Court rejected Democrats’ request to extend the deadline for counting mail-in ballots in Wisconsin beyond Election Day because of coronavirus concerns.
Social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook have attempted during the 2020 presidential election cycle to try to warn subscribers about potential disinformation.
Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA. Must have final total on November 3rd. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 26, 2020
Conservatives argue that such platforms have unfairly targeted their content – most recently pointing to Twitter and Facebook temporarily limiting the posting of a New York Post story about emails purportedly connected to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
The Twitter warming flag in full stated:” Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about how to participate in an election or another civic process.”

The Covid-19 Numbers Game: The “Second Wave” is Based on Fake Statistics

“Red zones”, travel bans, quarantines, “red lists”. A “Second Wave” has been announced.
The fear campaign has gone into overdrive. Millions of people are lining up for Covid-19 testing.

What’s the Big Lie? What’s the Smoking Gun?
SARS-CoV-2 is NOT A “KILLER VIRUS”. The fear campaign has no scientific basis. (See analysis below)
The standard RT-PCR test used to “detect” the insidious Virus, “can not identify the Virus”.
The Virus
In early January 2020, a so-called novel coronavirus entitled SARS-CoV-2 , which causes “coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19” was identified. It was given a similar name to an existing coronavirus, namely SARS-CoV, i.e. the beta coronavirus that causes the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
According to renowned immunologist Dr. Beda Stadler of Bern University,
“this so-called novel virus is very strongly related to SARS-1 as well to as other beta-coronaviruses which make us suffer every year in the form of colds.”
Stadler also begs the question: Is this a new virus or the mutation of an existing virus, “similar to the corona beta cold viruses”.
According to a recent study by Tsan-Yuk Lam, Na Jia, et al (Joint Institute of Virology, Shantou and Hong Kong universities):
“…the [SARS-2] virus [is] most closely related (89.1% nucleotide similarity) to a group of SARS-like coronaviruses (genus Betacoronavirus, subgenus Sarbecovirus) (Nature, April 2020).
Moreover, the studies of Dr. Anthony Fauci et al in the New England Journal of Medicine as well as the WHO acknowledge that Covid-19 has similar features to seasonal influenza (Viruses A and B). (For further details, see Michel Chossudovsky, September 2020)
What these scientific statements convey is that SARS-2 (which causes Covid-19) is not a killer virus. In fact quite the opposite.
But neither the governments nor the media have reassured public opinion.
The fear campaign not only prevails, it is gaining momentum.
At this juncture of the Covid-19 crisis, governments are envisaging the launching of extreme measures in response to a so-called “Second Wave”. In turn, several media are now spreading stories that this Second Wave is comparable to the 1918 Spanish Flu:
At this point in the coronavirus pandemic, with more than 32 million infected and more than 980,000 dead worldwide, describing this time as “unprecedented” may sound like nails on a chalkboard. This pandemic, however, actually isn’t without precedent: The last time we dealt with a pandemic so mysterious, uncontained and far-reaching was in 1918, when influenza devastated populations around the globe. (CNN, September 25, 2020)
Flashback to March 11, 2020: The Launching of the WHO Pandemic
On March 11, the WHO officially declared a Worldwide pandemic at a time when there were 18,000 confirmed cases and 4291 deaths out of a total World population outside China of the order of 6.4 billion people. What do these “statistics” tell you? Most of these confirmed “positive cases” were estimated using the RT-PCR test which does not detect or identify the virus. (See our analysis below)
Immediately following the March 11 WHO announcement the fear campaign went into high gear. Confinement instructions were transmitted to 193 member states of the United Nations. The outright closing down of national economies was upheld as a means to resolving a public health crisis.
Politicians are the instruments of powerful financial interests. Was this far-reaching decision justified as a means to combating the Virus? Did the “numbers” (of confirmed cases) justify a Worldwide pandemic?
Unprecedented in history, applied almost simultaneously in a large number countries, entire sectors of the World economy were destabilized. Small and medium sized enterprises were driven into bankruptcy. Unemployment and poverty are rampant.
In some countries famines have erupted. The social impacts of these measures are devastating.
The devastating health impacts (mortality, morbidity) of these measures including the destabilization of the system of national health care (in numerous countries) far surpass those attributed to Covid-19.
The Rush to Get Tested
In a large number of countries, simultaneously, people are encouraged to get tested which in turn contributes to increasing exponentially the number of so-called confirmed Covid-19 “positive cases”. Facilities are set up all over the country.

Panic prevails. national authorities establish testing facilities, do it yourself testing kits, etc.
People stand in line to get tested. The estimates are often manipulated.

With increasing numbers, as of early June, the health authorities in several countries have pointed to an imminent “Second Wave”.
What is the intent of the Second Wave?
To postpone “normalization”? To prevent the reopening of national economies? To trigger more unemployment?
Currently, national economies have partially reopened. This Second Wave constitutes the “second phase” of a bankruptcy program, targeting the services economy, air transport, the tourism industry, retail trade, etc.
Social distancing prevails. Schools, colleges and universities are closed down, social gatherings and family reunions are prohibited.
The face mask is reimposed despite its negative health impacts. We are told that it is all for a good cause. Combat the transmission of the virus.
These far-reaching decisions which derogate fundamental civil rights, are based on the “estimates” of Covid-19 positive cases, not to mention the manipulation of the test results.

The Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (RT-PCR)
The standard test used to detect / identify SARS-2 around the World is The Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (RT-PCR) which is used to estimate and tabulate the number of confirmed positive Covid-19 cases. (This is not the only test used. Observations below pertain solely to the standard PCR).
According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis, who invented the PCR test:
“PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself. The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.”
The PCR test was never intended to identify the virus.
“PCR detection of viruses is helpful so long as its accuracy can be understood: it offers the capacity to detect RNA in minute quantities, but whether that RNA represents infectious virus may not be clear” (see also Lancet report)
The standard PCR Test applied in relation to Covid-19 does not detect or identify the virus. What it detects are fragments of the virus. According to renowned Swiss immunologist Dr B. Stadler
So if we do a PCR corona test on an immune person, it is not a virus that is detected, but a small shattered part of the viral genome. The test comes back positive for as long as there are tiny shattered parts of the virus left. Even if the infectious viri are long dead, a corona test can come back positive, because the PCR method multiplies even a tiny fraction of the viral genetic material enough [to be detected].
According to Dr. Pascal Sacré, “these tests detect viral particles, genetic sequences, not the whole virus”
What this means is that the PCR test cannot detect or identify SARS-CoV-2. What it detects are fragments, which suggests that a standard “PCR positive” cannot be equated to a so-called Covid-19 Positive.
“Fragments of viruses positive” does not mean “SARS-2 positive” (or Covid-19 Positive).
In other words, the published estimates of COVID-19 positive (resulting from the standard PCR test) in support of the Second Wave hypothesis are often misleading and cannot be used to measure the spread of SARS-2. . There are currently, at the time of writing ( according to WHO statistics ) almost 33 million so-called “confirmed cases” and 1 million deaths. Are these alleged “Covid-19 positive” estimates which are in large part based on the RT-PCR test reliable? Global Research has published numerous reports on theses issues. .
Once the Covid-19 Positive label is established and accepted, it is then subject to numerous forms of manipulation, not to mention the falsification of death certificates. These figures are then used to sustain the fear campaign and justify political decisions by corrupt national governments. The public is led to believe that there is a “Second Wave” and the government is there to save lives through social distancing, the face mask, the closing down of economic activity, the paralysis of the national health system and the closing down of schools and universities. There is a circular causal relationship. The more people get tested as a result of the fear campaign, the more PCR positive cases. … •••• About the author: Prof Michel Chossudovsky is an award-winning author, Professor of Economics (emeritus) at the University of Ottawa, Founder and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), Montreal, Editor of Global Research.

(TLB) ed: The airways will sizzle tonight when Tucker Carlson features Biden Family Whistleblower Tony Bobulinski and the release of tapes with Operatives for the Bidens Begging him to Stay Quiet.
Tony Bobulinski says he met with Joe Biden about China. The media have suppressed the story, but it’s real and it matters. Voters have a right to know the details. Bobulinski sits for an extended interview Tuesday night at 8p ET on #FoxNews — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) October 26, 2020

Bobulinski Recorded Biden Operatives Begging Him To Stay Quiet, Set To Release tonight
Former Biden insider Tony Bobulinski allegedly has a recording of Biden family operatives begging him to stay quiet, or he will “bury” the reputations of everyone involved in Hunter’s overseas dealings.
According to The Federalist‘s Sean Davis, Bobulinski will play the tape on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday, when Carlson will devote his show ‘entirely’ to an interview with the Biden whistleblower.
The Federalist confirmed with sources familiar with the plans that Bobulinski, a retired Navy lieutenant and Biden associate, will be airing tapes of Biden operatives begging Bobulinski to remain quiet as former Vice President Joe Biden nears the finish line to the White House next week.
Bobulinski flipped on the Bidens following a Senate report which revealed that they received a $5 million interest-free loan from a now-bankrupt Chinese energy company.
According to the former Biden insider, he was introduced to Joe Biden by Hunter, and they had an hour-long meeting where they discussed the Biden’s business plans with the Chinese, with which he says Joe was “plainly familiar at least at a high level.”
Text messages from Bobulinski also reveal an effort to conceal Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s business dealings, while Tony has also confirmed that the “Big guy” described in a leaked email is none other than Joe Biden himself.
Of course, aside from the corruption allegations, Hunter Biden’s laptop allegedly contained child porn, which the FBI sat on for nine months after a Delaware computer repair shop owner turned it over to them, only to approach Congress – and finally Rudy Giuliani, when nobody else would take action.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-27--Who Deserves Your Trust in the COVID Debate?

Who Deserves Your Trust in the COVID Debate ?
Stoic philosopher Epictetus believed that honorable character and a life of wisdom begin with a clear understanding of one basic principle : “ some things are within our control , and some things are not.
” How we are perceived by others — our popularity — is ultimately outside our control ; we should focus on character , not reputation , because “ trying to control or change what we can ’ t only results in torment.
” The year 2020 has revealed this to be true .
Many Americans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ character , and it has indeed resulted in torment .
In the COVID debate , there is a mainstream , “ popular ” narrative , and a competing , “ unpopular ” narrative — a “ fringe.
” The former exploits the common , mediocre desire to be “ popular.
” Joining the movement is easy .
It results in back-pats , validation , and requires no uncomfortable confrontations .
This narrative states that it is impossible for humanity to survive the COVID19 pandemic without a vaccine , lockdowns , and masks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the indefinite future .
The narrative supports blaming others for “ infecting you ” with diseases , rather than encouraging personal responsibility for immune and general health .
Proponents of the competing narrative , on the other hand , must stand up to massive social forces simply to make their arguments , which are not radical : they support a return to classic pandemic management tools , the same ones used by Sweden and other states and countries which did not lock down for COVID-19 , which resulted in average mortality for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic warrants a complete overhaul of the economic , social , and educational systems .
They believe that every human being should be empowered with truthful information about risk and how to best care for personal health , and to make his or her own choices .
Faced with these competing narratives , we must consider motives and costs .
The force of social pressure to conform with the mainstream narrative is large , so we know from the outset that the people willing to argue against it are either insane , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is easy to eliminate the possibility that they are crazy — many of them , such as Elon Musk and the scientists who drafted the Great Barrington Declaration — are giants in their fields .
They risk everything , weathering exhausting personal attacks from all sides , in order to battle the crowd .
Who are these people ?
What do they gain by doing what they do ?
Princeton professor Robert P. George , a specialist in moral and political philosophy and the theory of conscience , uses the example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral dilemma reveals two categories of people : the majority , who go along with the popular zeitgeist no matter how atrocious it is ; and the minority , who risk their very existence to fight it .
“ I sometimes ask students what their position on slavery would have been had they been white and living in the South before abolition .
Guess what ?
They all would have been abolitionists !
They all would have bravely spoken out against slavery , and worked tirelessly against it .
Of course , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them , or of any of us , would have spoken up against slavery or lifted a finger to free the slaves .
Most of them — and us — would have gone along .
Many would have supported the slave system and happily benefited from it .
So I respond by saying that I will credit their claims if they can show evidence of the following : that in leading their lives today they have stood up for the rights of unpopular victims of injustice whose very humanity is denied , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ( 1 ) that it would make them unpopular with their peers , ( 2 ) that they would be loathed and ridiculed by powerful , influential individuals and institutions in our society ; ( 3 ) that they would be abandoned by many of their friends , ( 4 ) that they would be called nasty names , and ( 5 ) that they would risk being denied valuable professional opportunities as a result of their moral witness .
In short , my challenge is to show where they have at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up for a cause that is unpopular in elite sectors of our culture today.
” Epictetus would recognize these people , those willing to pursue unpopular causes , as people of character — mature people who create their own merit by forgetting what other people think of them .
While this path leads to wisdom and self-respect , Epictetus recognizes that it carries a tremendous social cost — which is why only a minority choose it .
“ You may be ridiculed and even end up with the worst of everything in all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your career , your social standing , and your legal position in the courts.
” This happened to the abolitionists for decades , and it is happening to COVID dissenters now : Dr. Scott Atlas was smeared by 100 of his colleagues at Stanford , who then refused to debate the substance of their claims against him ; one Google search will reveal dozens of smears against the Great Barrington Declaration and its authors .
What do these anti-lockdowners gain by presenting their case to the public ?
Nothing material — a concept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What they gain is security in the knowledge that they fought for truth , justice , and what is right , even to the point of risking everything .
This is a privilege .
Anti-lockdowners get to stand up for the least powerful in our society .
For those who have no voice .
For the people who are desperate for their industries to survive .
For the small business owners who make just enough to feed their children .
For the “ essential workers ” who stand in the supermarket checkout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their children stay home playing video games in place of school .
For the kids in developing countries who walk for miles through fields just for a WiFi signal .
For the frightened elderly people who haven ’ t hugged a family member in eight months .
For the hospital patients who will die alone and afraid .
For the religious congregations prevented from doing outreach .
For the families foregoing holidays , birthdays , and travel .
For the socially isolated .
For the babies who are growing up without seeing smiles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their therapies , for the women and children locked home with abusers .
For the new patrons of the food bank , for the formerly proud career men newly sunk to the unemployment line .
For those driven to drugs or drink , for those whose rehab was suspended .
For those considering suicide .
For those whose vaccinations and medical treatments have been delayed or cancelled .
For those wondering if life will ever again be worth living .
For those who feel there is nothing left to rely on , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ educations can be decimated at government whim .
Anti-lockdowners believe that all of these people , every single one , deserves a voice , a unique vote as to the philosophy of his or her life , and that no one else — even someone vastly more powerful — has the right to override it .
By supporting this system of equality and fairness , anti-lockdowners seek to live in a world built on those principles , which protects themselves , their families , and the world of human beings as a whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government interests .
What do the lockdowners gain ?
To answer this question , we need only consider who the the acceptance of their program benefits .
Tech interests , billionaires , pharmaceutical companies , certain political parties .
The 1 % — the same people who can easily work from home , who are not harmed by lockdowns , who consider themselves so smart that their decision as to “ what should be scary ” must hold for every single person on the planet .
No votes are needed , because their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and educational systems and social structures need to die , must die , because they say so .
All they need to do to push this system is gain the cooperation of the media , which can be done with dollars alone .
Ask yourself , who deserves your trust ?
I would argue that anti-lockdowners are today ’ s abolitionists — people willing to take up an unpopular cause at incredible risk .
Lockdowners may currently be “ popular , ” but they are on the wrong side of history .

Who Deserves Your Trust in the COVID Debate?

Stoic philosopher Epictetus believed that honorable character and a life of wisdom begin with a clear understanding of one basic principle: “some things are within our control, and some things are not.” How we are perceived by others — our popularity — is ultimately outside our control; we should focus on character, not reputation, because “trying to control or change what we can’t only results in torment.” The year 2020 has revealed this to be true. Many Americans, especially affluent types, prioritize reputation over character, and it has indeed resulted in torment.
In the COVID debate, there is a mainstream, “popular” narrative, and a competing, “unpopular” narrative — a “fringe.” The former exploits the common, mediocre desire to be “popular.” Joining the movement is easy. It results in back-pats, validation, and requires no uncomfortable confrontations. This narrative states that it is impossible for humanity to survive the COVID19 pandemic without a vaccine, lockdowns, and masks, some combination of which will be required into the indefinite future. The narrative supports blaming others for “infecting you” with diseases, rather than encouraging personal responsibility for immune and general health.
Proponents of the competing narrative, on the other hand, must stand up to massive social forces simply to make their arguments, which are not radical: they support a return to classic pandemic management tools, the same ones used by Sweden and other states and countries which did not lock down for COVID-19, which resulted in average mortality for 2020. They do not believe this pandemic warrants a complete overhaul of the economic, social, and educational systems. They believe that every human being should be empowered with truthful information about risk and how to best care for personal health, and to make his or her own choices.
Faced with these competing narratives, we must consider motives and costs. The force of social pressure to conform with the mainstream narrative is large, so we know from the outset that the people willing to argue against it are either insane, or extremely driven, courageous, and strong. It is easy to eliminate the possibility that they are crazy — many of them, such as Elon Musk and the scientists who drafted the Great Barrington Declaration — are giants in their fields. They risk everything, weathering exhausting personal attacks from all sides, in order to battle the crowd.
Who are these people? What do they gain by doing what they do? Princeton professor Robert P. George, a specialist in moral and political philosophy and the theory of conscience, uses the example of slavery to demonstrate that every serious moral dilemma reveals two categories of people: the majority, who go along with the popular zeitgeist no matter how atrocious it is; and the minority, who risk their very existence to fight it.
“I sometimes ask students what their position on slavery would have been had they been white and living in the South before abolition. Guess what? They all would have been abolitionists!

In short, my challenge is to show where they have at risk to themselves and their futures stood up for a cause that is unpopular in elite sectors of our culture today.”
Epictetus would recognize these people, those willing to pursue unpopular causes, as people of character — mature people who create their own merit by forgetting what other people think of them.
“Never depend on the admiration of others. There is no strength in it. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you, or share your enthusiasms. Grow up! Who cares what other people think of you!”
While this path leads to wisdom and self-respect, Epictetus recognizes that it carries a tremendous social cost — which is why only a minority choose it. “You may be ridiculed and even end up with the worst of everything in all parts of your public life, including your career, your social standing, and your legal position in the courts.” This happened to the abolitionists for decades, and it is happening to COVID dissenters now: Dr. Scott Atlas was smeared by 100 of his colleagues at Stanford, who then refused to debate the substance of their claims against him; one Google search will reveal dozens of smears against the Great Barrington Declaration and its authors.
What do these anti-lockdowners gain by presenting their case to the public? Nothing material — a concept which is difficult for pro-lockdowners to understand. What they gain is security in the knowledge that they fought for truth, justice, and what is right, even to the point of risking everything. This is a privilege.
Anti-lockdowners get to stand up for the least powerful in our society. For those who have no voice. For the people who are desperate for their industries to survive. For the small business owners who make just enough to feed their children. For the “essential workers” who stand in the supermarket checkout day in and day out, while their children stay home playing video games in place of school. For the kids in developing countries who walk for miles through fields just for a WiFi signal. For the frightened elderly people who haven’t hugged a family member in eight months. For the hospital patients who will die alone and afraid. For the religious congregations prevented from doing outreach.
For the families foregoing holidays, birthdays, and travel. For the socially isolated. For the babies who are growing up without seeing smiles. For the special needs kids deprived of their therapies, for the women and children locked home with abusers. For the new patrons of the food bank, for the formerly proud career men newly sunk to the unemployment line. For those driven to drugs or drink, for those whose rehab was suspended. For those considering suicide. For those whose vaccinations and medical treatments have been delayed or cancelled. For those wondering if life will ever again be worth living. For those who feel there is nothing left to rely on, now that lives, livelihoods, and educations can be decimated at government whim.
Anti-lockdowners believe that all of these people, every single one, deserves a voice, a unique vote as to the philosophy of his or her life, and that no one else — even someone vastly more powerful — has the right to override it. By supporting this system of equality and fairness, anti-lockdowners seek to live in a world built on those principles, which protects themselves, their families, and the world of human beings as a whole, prioritizing human beings over corporate and government interests.
What do the lockdowners gain? To answer this question, we need only consider who the the acceptance of their program benefits. Tech interests, billionaires, pharmaceutical companies, certain political parties. The 1% — the same people who can easily work from home, who are not harmed by lockdowns, who consider themselves so smart that their decision as to “what should be scary” must hold for every single person on the planet. No votes are needed, because their judgment is so good. Whatever businesses and educational systems and social structures need to die, must die, because they say so. All they need to do to push this system is gain the cooperation of the media, which can be done with dollars alone.
Ask yourself, who deserves your trust? I would argue that anti-lockdowners are today’s abolitionists — people willing to take up an unpopular cause at incredible risk. Lockdowners may currently be “popular,” but they are on the wrong side of history.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-28--KEN’S CORNER: Neither You Or America Comes With A Guarantee

KEN ’ S CORNER : Neither You Or America Comes With A Guarantee If we want to be healthy , we must find the balance of mind and body… but there are no guarantees .
If we want to be strong or smart , we must get up and make it so .
With a bit of luck , the effort will hopefully be proportionate to the outcome we have dreamed , and the plans we have made… but there are no guarantees .
If we want control of life , we must first take responsibility for it .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our destiny , and yet… as accidents happen , there are no guarantees .
If we want a positive result , we must find it with a positive attitude .
We are what we think long before it becomes reality , even when we act the part… Knowing the difference between right and wrong , and good and bad is different in every situation , and it is possible we will fail by our own hand , no matter how hard we try… because there are no guarantees .
It is said we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and never give up , no matter what .
It is said that eventually everything we dream will manifest itself in our lives… It is said that we must have unwavering resolve… to continue to focus on the visualization we hold as a goal , and that the constant attempts will finally determine the result… But the reality is this , hinged on what is inside and outside of our realm of influence , and so very hard to admit : There is the amazing possibility our plan is flawed ; that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because no matter how hard we may try , there are no guarantees .
When we are old and rocking on our porch , will we look back over our lives saying “ I wish I would have , wish I could have.
” or , will we say : “ I gave it my best shot , in spite of it all.
” Knowing this , embracing this , will give us true solace and peace of mind .
The world , and what we take of it is ours only for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so lucky to have made it this far… but old and seasoned people know full-well it came with no guarantee .
Whatever our heart ’ s desire , from nimble dancer to power lifter , chances are our vision will become reality with a bit luck and hard work , if we want it hard enough .
But… If we want this country healthy , we must find the balance of its mind and body .
History based on truth is a good start , and so is a righteous heart… but there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our country strong , get up and make it so .
Stand with others of like mind and we will find the effort might be proportionate to the outcome… but there are no guarantees .
If we want control of our government , we must become responsible for it .
Go forth with a banner of free choice and Liberty from tyranny , driven by a righteous cause… but there are no guarantees .
If we want a positive result in America , we must first envision the goal .
Education and volition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and we might attempt with unity to regain it… It seems that we only realize what we truly have when it is lost… We can hold fast and push to take it back , while learning that the maintenance of America is easier than revolution , no matter how justified… comes with no guarantee .
When you are old and rocking on you porch , will you look back over our land of America and say “ We maintained.
” with peace of mind , or if lost , will will we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Our framers told us more than once that Liberty , once lost , will not be returned without bloodshed… Because you see both Liberty and truth… comes with no guarantee .
America once promised our heart ’ s desire , based on a Democratic Republic of Constitutional Law , and Civil Liberties given to us by God .
If this is taken from us by default , or given away by a lethargic .
uneducated and uninspired populous , what those words now mean are but an illusion… Pounding your fist , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or writing essays , all have good intentions… But of course… Authors note : Yesterday I was buying a pair of shoes at a large department store , and the girl checking me out asked for my email address .
You can receive “ …promotional information and sales events… ” She said with the wide eyes of certainty .
“ There will be a link there so you can give me a good report !
” It was indeed a trick , implemented by an innocent young girl working for a very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to our emotions , both hers and mine .

KEN’S CORNER: Neither You Or America Comes With A Guarantee
Commentary by: TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
You, and us…
If we want to be healthy, we must find the balance of mind and body… but there are no guarantees.
If we want to be strong or smart, we must get up and make it so. With a bit of luck, the effort will hopefully be proportionate to the outcome we have dreamed, and the plans we have made… but there are no guarantees.
If we want control of life, we must first take responsibility for it. It is us who must take control of our destiny, and yet… as accidents happen, there are no guarantees.
If we want a positive result, we must find it with a positive attitude. We are what we think long before it becomes reality, even when we act the part… Knowing the difference between right and wrong, and good and bad is different in every situation, and it is possible we will fail by our own hand, no matter how hard we try… because there are no guarantees.
It is said we should never settle, to keep trying and never give up, no matter what. It is said that eventually everything we dream will manifest itself in our lives… It is said that we must have unwavering resolve… to continue to focus on the visualization we hold as a goal, and that the constant attempts will finally determine the result…
But the reality is this, hinged on what is inside and outside of our realm of influence, and so very hard to admit: There is the amazing possibility our plan is flawed; that we indeed do not have what it takes… because no matter how hard we may try, there are no guarantees.
When we are old and rocking on our porch, will we look back over our lives saying “I wish I would have, wish I could have.” or, will we say: “I gave it my best shot, in spite of it all.” Knowing this, embracing this, will give us true solace and peace of mind. The world, and what we take of it is ours only for a short time, and we are so lucky to have made it this far… but old and seasoned people know full-well it came with no guarantee.
Whatever our heart’s desire, from nimble dancer to power lifter, chances are our vision will become reality with a bit luck and hard work, if we want it hard enough. But…
Our precious America…
If we want this country healthy, we must find the balance of its mind and body. History based on truth is a good start, and so is a righteous heart… but there are no guarantees.
If we want our country strong, get up and make it so. Stand with others of like mind and we will find the effort might be proportionate to the outcome… but there are no guarantees.
If we want control of our government, we must become responsible for it. Go forth with a banner of free choice and Liberty from tyranny, driven by a righteous cause… but there are no guarantees.
If we want a positive result in America, we must first envision the goal. Education and volition will help us find what was lost, and we might attempt with unity to regain it… It seems that we only realize what we truly have when it is lost… We can hold fast and push to take it back, while learning that the maintenance of America is easier than revolution, no matter how justified… comes with no guarantee.
When you are old and rocking on you porch, will you look back over our land of America and say “We maintained.” with peace of mind, or if lost, will we be allowed to say anything at all? Our framers told us more than once that Liberty, once lost, will not be returned without bloodshed… Because you see both Liberty and truth… comes with no guarantee.
America once promised our heart’s desire, based on a Democratic Republic of Constitutional Law, and Civil Liberties given to us by God. If this is taken from us by default, or given away by a lethargic. uneducated and uninspired populous, what those words now mean are but an illusion… Pounding your fist, gnashing your teeth, marching in mass, or writing essays, all have good intentions… But of course…
Authors note: Yesterday I was buying a pair of shoes at a large department store, and the girl checking me out asked for my email address. You can receive “…promotional information and sales events…” She said with the wide eyes of certainty. “There will be a link there so you can give me a good report!”
It was indeed a trick, implemented by an innocent young girl working for a very savvy corporation who knows how to play up to our emotions, both hers and mine. I saw that I had hurt her feeling as I said no, and I knew that no matter how I might try to explain it to her, she would not understand my reasoning. It is indeed a powerful game, and it influences us at every turn… It is a revelation to consider that our young people are not taught this concept, enslaving us. Indeed what is Liberty and freedom to someone who has never experienced it, or even considered what is lost without them? How can we know what we are missing if we never grasped it?.
When I got back home I decided to look at EBay, to see if I had won… and there, on the side bar, was the exact pair of shoes I had bought from that young girl…
Yes, I have been fighting for Liberty for over ten years, but it grows more evident every day, that there are no guarantees.
I saw hope in Donald Trump. He has done more to wake up America then anything I have ever witnessed in my life, including my hero Dr. Ron Paul. Even as a private citizen, Trump still appears to be fighting for America … but then again, there are no guarantees.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
