Freedom and our Constitution are on the 2020 ballot because you can’t have one without the other. We are the freest people on the planet and for the longest time because of the U.S. Constitution. No governing document has harnessed those who govern us more fully or better than this document.
This is so because it is based upon natural inalienable rights coming from God. It can not be understood fully without viewing it as an extension of the Declaration of Independence in which God was referenced five times. The document authorized our right to rebel from tyranny and, with victory, we constructed a document insuring government tyranny could never return. This inspired document gave Americans freedom from excessive government. Yes, it took a war and some time to make freedom apply to everyone, but we succeeded.
Freedom is always on the ballot but more so now than at any other time. This column does not name parties or persons because these are stumbling blocks to some, but is asking Americans to consider what we have before voting to lose it.
The Second Amendment, “a well regulated militia,” (the people are the militia then and today), such “being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” No other amendment uses these last four words which mean off limits to government. No city, county, state nor even the federal government can make any laws infringing on our inalienable right to protect ourself, and our collective right to resist our own government should it defy constitutional government—the same right used by our Founders to resist the British government by force when it became tyrannical.
It is ironic that in our day as anarchy reigns in our biggest cities that these same cities elect to defund or disband those hired to protect us from violence, that gun sales automatically escalate. The major political parties are polar opposite on your right of self defense. One presidential primary candidate stating, “HELL YES, WERE GOING TO TAKE YOUR AR-15, YOUR AK-47.” “Vote wisely, all other freedoms hinge on this one.
There are other areas in which “Congress shall make no law.” The 1st Amendment specifically named: religion, speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government for grievances. The prohibitions were extended to state governments also by the 14th Amendment. But in 2020 it was in these areas that more rights of Americans were taken than in any other single year in U.S. History—those who love freedom viewed the actions of some governors as dictatorial, even tyrannical.
The most violated of these were freedoms of assemble, religion, and press. With stay at home decrees “peaceably to assemble” vanished, unless you were rioting.
“Congress shall make no law, respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” One political party supported governors arbitrarily prohibiting religious gatherings, limiting their number, and enforcing other provisions for their meetings during the Wuhan Virus Scare—all unconstitutional. The other, maintained that everything in life is a risk and left the assessment of risk, and its consequences, to parishioners, honoring the Constitution which prohibited any government involvement. The very definition of liberty is freedom from excessive government. One party wants government intervention in potentially every aspect of human life, the other thinks that the best government is the least government. This is called freedom.
Congress shall make no law abridging the “freedom of the press.” Certainly censorship of the press by government is constitutionally forbidden but what about the government (Congress) allowing monopolies Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter exemption from law suits for their horrendous censorship practices. Only the views of one party is censored so it obviously objects. One party encourages the disclosure of information regarding candidates before a vote; the other endorses—even practices censorship. Today big tech has more power over press issues than the federal government—they are social media. Some data shows a marriage between big tech and one of the major political parties. When that party returns to power so does big tech.
Other issues divide the parties as well. One such is globalism vs. American Independence. Our system of government is designed to problem solve from the bottom up essentially never elevating to a higher level that which can be resolved at a lesser level. But there are many today who wish to problem solve from the top down—even from the United Nations down. This notion has different and changing names: world government, internationalism, new world order, and now globalism. Globalists see nationalism as an enemy and seek to transfer decision making power to unelected international bureaucratic organizations. Today one political party endorses globalism, the other American Independence.
Until 2016 both parties failed to follow the Constitution as written, distorting sections when convenient. Today the biggest divide of the political parties is over the Constitution itself: one party undermining it, distorting it at every turn, the other now seeking to adhere more strictly “as written.”
This election the Constitution and liberty are clearly on the ballot; making it the most important in our history. We must retain what has been tried and proved. We must choose freedom over tyranny, the free market over socialism and the Constitution as written. It would be wise to consider what we have before voting to lose it.

The most difficult thing for me to watch in the decline of freedom in America is the rise of censorship. Not that censorship has not existed to some degree for decades, it has. None of the networks reveal the power of the Council on Foreign Relations or the Bilderbergers over America today, but censorship has become blatant, more especially from the rich on the Left.
Apparently talk of the insurrectionist activities of George Soros are nearing forbidden. The Left never cover George Soros’ manipulation of elections, especially his buy up of district attorneys in big cities who then do not punish those arrested for pillage and arson turning them free the next day to do the same that evening. Most news organizations appear intimidated into silence on the subject.
FOX News recently demonstrated Soros influence over their show Outnumbered in Harris Faulkner’s interview of Newt Gingrich September 17, she said, “Speaker Gingrich, I know you have a final thought for us.”
Gingrich responded, “The number one problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, antipolice pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up. Just yesterday they put somebody back on the street that is wanted for two different murders in New York City….Progressive district attorneys are anti-police, pro-criminal, and overwhelmingly elected with George Soros’s money, and they’re a major cause of the violence we’re seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street.”
To which co-host Melissa Francis injected, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”
Gingrich argued, ”He paid for it!! I mean, why can’t we discuss the fact that millions of dollars he spent.” To which co-host Marie Harf abruptly cut him off, “No, he didn’t. I agree with Melissa. George Soros doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation.”
Gingrich responds, ”OK! [pause] So it’s verboten,” German for forbidden. [Long awkward silence, then cut.]
That George Soros hates Donald Trump and is motivated to inject his influence in the election to get rid of him is clear. At the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in 2020, January 21-24 he told those attending, “Clearly I consider the Trump Administration a danger to the world. But I regard it as a purely temporary phenomenon that will disappear in 2020.” (George Soros, Davos 2018. Donald Trump and the Davos Connection, From the Editors Desk, Michael J. Matt).
Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri spoke of Soros’ influence. “He spent $17 million since 2015 alone trying to buy district attorneys. And he’s had tremendous success in my home state of Missouri in St. Louis, in Philadelphia, Florida, Texas, look all around the country” (Tucker Carlson Tonight, Sept. 22).
Who are some of these county district attorneys funded by the $17 million Soros money? Bill O’Reilly identified Diana Becton from Oakland, California as having received $275,000. She “will not prosecute looters if you’r poor. She says…its okay if they break into stores if they need…what they’re stealing.” Chicago DA Kim Fox, of Jessey Smollett fame, received two million dollars. Kimberly Gardner, $68,000, famed for trying to prosecute the couple protecting their home with a gun in St Louis from those who broke into their gated community and threatened violence on them (Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ Awkward George Soros, Sept. 18).
Tucker Carlson added Mike Schmidt of Portland, Oregon who was given $20,000 by Soros, He “announced he won’t prosecute any of the rioters, who’ve turned Portland into a war zone. He’s already dismissed charges against rioting suspects, hundreds of them. In fact, at one point Schmidt said the unrest in Portland was “beautiful.” In 2017 Soros spent roughly $1.7 million in Philadelphia, getting DA candidate Larry Krasner elected. He has a reputation for letting everybody out—even criminals (Tucker Carlson Tonight, Sept. 22).
Soros has vested money in DA races in 17 states over the past few years these include: Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia. Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Mississippi, Georgia, and New York (Soros’ Prosecutorial Power Grab, https://youtu.be/q1k1gvPOxSo). Just how many of these big city DA’s are needed to bring down America with pillage, vandalism, assault and arson nobody is saying especially not Democrat news outlets and now some Fox News shows refuse to talk about the Soros buyout of DA’s promoting anarchy.
For Tucker Carlson revealing this destroy America plot, “Criminals commit crimes, police arrest them, Soros backed DA’s release them,” to the attention of Americans, “Twitter slapped a warning label on our video. They claimed it contained sensitive content.”
Let us be clear!! The above information documents Leftist George Soros as the number one insurrectionist in America today. His efforts to burn down American cities by financing Democrats who open our jails destroys justice and makes him an enemy to all who love liberty.
Apparently now even Fox News is afraid of him.
In 2016 George Soros influenced justice in six states, in 2020 it amplified to seventeen states. If Fox News is now censored or afraid to tell America of the Soros’ insurrectionist activities, who will, and with censorship how long can America stand?

Harold Pease Ph.D.
An amazing event happened September 8, 2020 in a Donald Trump campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The huge crowd broke into spontaneous “We love you” chants for the president. He was noticeably affected.
It happened again two days later in Freeland, Michigan, Sept. 10. Ten chants in a row broke out 30 minuets into the speech after his comments about helping stop the violence in Minneapolis and his threat to use federal agents in Seattle if violence did not stop there. He thanked the crowd after the first two chants but they would not stop until after another eight—“We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you.” He interrupted, “Don’t say that, I’ll start to cry [pause] and that wouldn’t be good for my image. You don’t want to see me cry. I’ll start to cry.” This tender moment was followed by another five “We love you” chants before he was permitted to continue.
Why is this a big story, two reasons? First, because I do not recall any politician getting that chant in the history of this country. Not even George Washington, Andrew Jackson, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt, presidents said to be among the most popular. Second, in almost five years, I have yet to hear one favorable comment from Democrat news outlets. Because of this I am certain half of America, so influenced by the constant “hate Trump” spew, will never know that they lived through the administration of perhaps America’s most popular president. No public office holder has drawn the crowd sizes he consistently gets.
Remember this is the same presidential candidate who just four years ago was “piled on” seemingly by everyone: the establishment media, establishment Democrats, establishment Republicans, establishment bankers and corporations. Added to this was the globalist establishment special interest groups the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers. No president has endured more opposition than he—perhaps all put together. Imagine thousands now chanting “We love you” in unison to a politician in appreciation. This has never happened.
So why is he so popular with the American people? I’ll not dwell on the greatest economy in over a century, the highest employment rate for Africans, Hispanics, Asians, women and youth in my lifetime. The lowest taxes for the middle class in decades. These are not even disputed by the left in the 2020 election.
He is loved because he took on the globalists who were turning this country into the military arm of what they call the New World Order. He started no new wars, ended nation building in foreign lands, and is pulling out of the no-win wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Our soldiers will no longer dye in foreign lands for globalist causes.
Veterans love him because he treated them with dignity. He signed the VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA health services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
Until the Chinese Wuhan Virus he lifted nearly 4 million Americans off food stamps. Against the advice of his opponents he shut down immigration from China early in the virus. He teamed with the CDC with daily reports and projected confidence by not overreacting to the virus by a nation-wide shut-down of the economy. He is viewed as most likely to restore his previous booming economy.
He gave America energy independence by encouraging fracking, opening ANWR and approving the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines. These blocked by his predecessor.
Border law enforcement agents love him because he is finally building a wall to stop illegal immigration that undermines the salaries of the American worker. It also slows drug trafficking that is killing Americans and greatly restricts the activities of drug gangs like MS-13 and other criminals. Trump has done more than any other president to stop wide spread sex trafficking, especially with underaged girls.
Those who value the Constitution love him because he protects it as written, with two appointments to the Supreme Court and 214 Article III judge confirmations. He is viewed as most likely to hold to the restraints of the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment rights of free speech, assembly, and religion. Also he is most likely to do away with the double standard in justice including the probability of treason in high places.
Most Christians love him because, more than any predecessor for a lifetime, he values and protects religion. He is the most “Right to Life” president in American history. Stopping the annual killing of hundreds of thousands of America’s unborn babies is widely supported by Christians.
Americans love him because he is perceived as being the most likely to stop the spread of socialism in the United States now fully embraced by the Democrat Party. Historically it has brought only universal poverty and misery.
Americans love him because he is most likely to deal with anarchists in our cities and arsonists in our forests. Most view these as insurrectionist attempting to remove their president and destroy the greatest most prosperous, for those willing to work, nation on earth. Safety is a human right.
But mostly he is loved because they trust him and believe that he really cares about them. He is the only second term president in decades that can run on “Promises Made, Promises Kept.”

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.
Constitution Day, September 17, the day Americans celebrate the signing of the Constitution which was then sent to the states for ratification, is almost here. The numerous attacks on it, it’s founders, and the anarchy in our big cities today should give us cause to reflect upon what a gift it was/is to mankind.
For nearly six thousand years of recorded history governments best described as regimental in nature have dominated man. Only for a few fleeting moments in the past has individual man had anything to say concerning the restrictions placed upon him. Under an occasional benevolent monarchy or an unconcerned king, man has, in rare instances, been left to himself as in Athens, Rome, Runnymede, or in Philadelphia, unusual moments allowing individual freedom to flourish for a time.
Until 1787 man did not know how to free himself from excessive government—the enemy of true liberty. The Constitution harnessed government as never before. Now its wonders are everywhere apparent: magnificent material things, abundance of food, and unheard of leisure, etc. No society upon the earth has been more greatly blessed. None worked so little for so much. The last hundred years have brought such gifts to mankind, which only the insane would have supposed possible 200 years before, and truly America has become, for those willing to work, the envy of all the world—the land of the rich. Even the poorest among us have had a standard of living exceeding the vast majority that ever inhabited the planet.
The genius of the American Constitution, other than harnessing the government rather than man, is that it incentivized individual labor and creativity which unleashed tools, which unleashed abundance as never before. Probably at least 80% of the inventions of the planet have come from our soil.
The one message the present generation has not seemed to grasp is that freedom can be lost—even in a single generation. Today we have that generation, oblivious to history, natural law, common sense, morality and the Constitution and likely the most unchurched. A generation believing themselves entitled to someone else’s wealth. The most privileged residents of the earth who have never themselves fought for their own freedom yet are now poised to lose what others died to give them. Perhaps the most ungrateful and ignorant people ever.
They argue for such things as a Green New Deal which nullifies airplanes, automobiles and tractors, no borders which protects us from invading masses, and reparations which makes the present generation pay money to descendants of those offended 160 years ago. These Neanderthals oppose self-defense by opposing the 2nd Amendment while simultaneously supporting defunding of police which, for those that can still think, means no police which together means no protection for the most vulnerable in society. These would destroy America.
The greatest irony of all human history is that once man, with God’s help, finally discovered the formula for liberty for all, the Constitution, a small portion of this privileged class, university intellectuals and the super-rich like George Soros, using Millennials and students as useful idiots, seek to destroy it for the rest of humanity, perhaps forever.
Following the Civil War ending slavery, America was and is today probably the least racist society ever created and was so prior to the Obama Administration. If indeed America is racist a black man (Obama) never could have become president and a black woman (Kamala Harris) never nominated Vice President by a major political party, if there were no hope that her nomination would lead to the majority of Americans voting for her?
This group of history and cultural illiterates have no problem voting by violence. In previous months major Democrat led cities have allowed, even encouraged, acts of anarchy, robbery, pillage, rape and violence against police and small businesses. Antifa and Black Lives Matter easily infiltrated the demonstrations of sincere folks naively thinking themselves advancing social justice and the result was/is buildings and cars ablaze and injured law enforcement officers and citizens. Media outlets on the left refuse to cover such leaving the few on the right to show victims kicked in the head, such is the divide. Bring an “All Lives Matter” sign to a Black Lives Matter gathering and you can expect a beating.
Their obsession with racism, now mostly non-existent, has resulted in their tearing down statues of our greatest constitutional founders, those most responsible for the very freedom the anarchists enjoy. Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of The Declaration of Independence, which allowed our freedom birth experiment, was torn down by a small mob in Portland, Oregon. Four days later, in the same city, the same befell the statue of George Washington our Revolutionary War general, president of the Constitutional Convention, and first president that made liberty and the Constitution possible. Revolutionists draped the American flag around his neck, set it a fire, pulled the statue to the ground, placed another flag over his head and back and set it too afire. These anarchists, their party, and all supporting them hate America, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and liberty for all.
Yes the miracle of the Constitution eventually created the freest and most prosperous society known to man. Ironically it is the sons and daughters of these, the most privileged ever, that if not stopped will destroy it. Remember! Remember! What we have in place before we follow those who choose to lose it.

It seems that all the anarchists who pelt law enforcement with bricks, bottles, lasers and fireworks and set buildings and automobiles afire in many major cities in the United States in their revolution to bring socialism here, have turned on the very authors of their freedom, the Founding Fathers. Would that they had been born in Russia under Joseph Stalin, Germany under Adolph Hitler, or China under Mao Tza Tung. Had they been able to escape those tyrannies, today they would be strong defenders of the Constitution.
That slavery was a part of our history and that of the world cannot be denied. It runs through the Bible. Joseph was sold into Egypt, even by his brothers. It ran through Africa long before Europeans even began trading with them. The warring tribes sold their vanquished neighbors. And what did Africans sell to the Dutch ship off shore in exchange for the new knives, pots and pans—their neighbors? Slavery could have never gained a foothold on the continent had the Africans resisted it.
For the agrarian South it developed gradually from 1619 on, out of the indentured servitude economy. It cannot be understood absent a cultural and economic context. Anarchist do not care about cultural context, they seek only an excuse to destroy. Only the uninformed do not know this. Still, none of this justifies slavery and it never gained a foothold in the northern colonies.
But I am white, thus to “real” racists (those that would notice I am white), not qualified to write in defense of our “white” Founding Fathers. Let us enlist black intellectual Walter E. Williams, professor of economics at George Mason University, to defend the Founders (“Attacking Our Nation’s Founders, April 13, 2016).
The “founders as racist argument” first brought to his Christian college by socialist Bernie Sanders and the falsehoods within it had to be confronted. Dr. Williams wrote: “Our Founding Fathers struggled mightily over the issue of slavery. Let us look at some of that struggle.”
“George Washington said, ‘I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it.’ Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, Patrick Henry and others were highly critical of slavery, describing it as a ‘disease of ignorance,’ ‘an inconsistency not to be excused’ and a ‘lamentable evil.’ George Mason said, ‘The augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind.’ James Madison, in a speech at the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, declared, ‘We have seen the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man.’ Benjamin Rush said: ‘Domestic slavery is repugnant to the principles of Christianity.… It is rebellion against the authority of a common Father’.”
Slavery reared its ugly head in the Constitutional Convention. An unspoken concern was whether we were to become one nation or two? If one, then for a time at least, compromise had to prevail. Williams explained, “In their effort to create a union, the delegates at the Constitutional Convention had to negotiate many contentious, deal-breaking issues. Slavery was chief among them. Southern states made clear that they would not vote to ratify a constitution that abolished slavery or ended the slave trade. Northern delegates wanted to end slave trading and did not want slaves counted at all for congressional apportionment. Southern delegates wanted slaves counted as whole people. That would have given the South greater political power in the House of Representatives.”
The astute professor continued, “Convention delegate James Wilson offered a compromise whereby each slave would be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of determining the number of representatives a state would have in the House. This rule applied only to slaves. Freemen, whether black or white, would be counted as whole people… The Three-Fifths Compromise was not a statement about human worth; it was an attempt to reduce the pro-slavery representation in Congress. By including only three-fifths of the total number of slaves in congressional calculations, Southern states were actually being denied a greater number of representatives in Congress and hence electoral votes for selecting a president.”
The most amazing compromise of the Constitution was that our Founding Fathers got the South “to set 1808 as the year to abolish the slave trade.” Not slavery, but the slave trade. Abolition of slavery would come in a Civil War 53 years later at the cost of 360,222 northerners dying to end it.
Dr. Williams continues, “There’s little question that slavery is an abomination and a gross violation of human rights, but the founders had to decide whether there would be a union or not. Had morality been their sole guide, they might have taken a hardened, nonnegotiable stand against slavery, but then the Constitution would have never been ratified and a union would not have been formed.”
He then concluded, “Ignorance of our history, coupled with an inability to think critically, has provided considerable ammunition for those who want to divide us in pursuit of their agenda. Their agenda is to undermine the legitimacy of our Constitution in order to gain greater control over our lives. Their main targets are the nation’s youths. The teaching establishment, at our public schools and colleges, is being used to undermine American values.” No wonder the enemies of liberty, like Bernie Sanders, exclude the whole story and push this false narrative. Blacks too have greatly benefited from the Constitution.

Aug 30, 2020 | Constitution, Globalism, Liberty Articles
By Harold Pease, Ph.D.
Some have believed our “protests” resulting in burning cities are spontaneous, recent data shows them instead planned and coordinated. Two new ones are directed for September.
The message sent out by the Canadian far-left group Adbusters as “Tactical Briefing #1” calling all Americans to rise up and take the presidency from Trump, lays out two important preplanned pre-election events and dates. The first is happening now. “Stay in the streets in August [and] Build for UNITED NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST Saturday, September 5 [and] DEMAND TRUMP PENCE OUT NOW!” The second, called the “White House Siege” follows, beginning on Constitution Day September 17, 2020 when “tens of thousands of our fellow citizens lay siege to the White House” for fifty days ending election day November 3 (The White House Siege, LibertyUnderFire.com).
We hope neither event happens. That we have made known their plans beforehand does not mean that they may not change them but such is unlikely as all Big Tech platforms Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have advertised these events.
What should concern constitutionalist, other than the conspiratorial aspects of what has all the color of another coup to oust an elected president, is that the second event, the White House Siege, hence forth obliterates Constitution Day previously honored for decades by Americans. This was the day ending the Constitutional Convention, having created and voted affirmably for the most restrictive government constitution in world history,—the most important event and perhaps date in U.S. History.
The Adbusters flyers do not address this issue only that September 17 was chosen because it is the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street at NYC’s Zuccotti Park which they planned and executed. This revered and celebrated day will be effectively replaced by the biggest event in U.S. History to remove a seated president and if not removed before November 3 to tamper with the outcome of the election.
Given the damage that they did with that event, we must take their new threat as an escalation of disruption and very serious. How a Canadian far-left group Adbusters, a foreign entity, can get away with two attempts to influence U.S. domestic policy, one under President Barack Obama, the other under Donald Trump, without some penalty to Canada was not explained then or now.
One might observe that the White House was already attacked last May, St John’s church set afire, and Lafayette Park then occupied. That is true the group that led that charge was Refuse Fascism, an organization said to be “an agitating tentacle of the Democratic Party” (Siege of the White House Starts On September 17, YouTube). Trump drove them out of the area and had a photo opt thereafter with him holding a raised Bible in front of the desecrated church.
Do you think these protests are spontaneous!?! Andy Zee of NOFASCISTUSA put that idea to rest when he said, “Think about what it is going to cost to conduct occupy type protests all across the county and especially in Washington DC.” Then added, “Let the people who are anguishing right now about a Trump / Pence administration. Let all those who are seething with anger and rage who are starting to organize and think about life under a fascist regime know that they are not alone and there actually is a plan, a way to stop this” (Ibid).
So who funds the cost of this revolution? The flyers do not say but the above cited YouTube video identifies the Alliance for Global Justice as “an organizer and fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism which is in turn funded by George Soros through the Tides Foundation,” which with Adbusters is conducting the White House Siege.
This should not surprise us as George Soros at a Davos, Switzerland, World Economic Forum in 2018 with other New World Order revolutionaries said, “Clearly I consider the Trump Administration a danger to the world that will disappear in 2020” (“Donald Trump and the Davos Connection,” From the Editors Desk, World Economic Forum, Annual Meeting January 21-24, 2020, Davos-Klosters, Remnant TV by Michael J Matt).
The ploy of the revolutionaries is to define Trump as a fascist. “Just as the German people could not have stopped their genocidal fascist program without driving out Hitler and the Nazi regime, we must act with all our resolve to drive this regime—a 21st century fascist regime led by a demented bully with his finger on the nuclear trigger—out of power” (video “Siege of the White House,” YouTube). But to intelligent Americans Trump shows no signs similar to the Nazi regime. Anarchists burning cities, beating those who disagree, and accosting police seems far more akin to this description. In fact, the Refuse Fascism sign is the same as that of fascism in Germany, the raised extended arm and open hand.
America was not ready for the kind of revolution the left envisioned in 2010, nor strong enough last May in front of the White House, but it must be perceived as close for the Canadian group to call all hate-Trumpers from all parts of the nation to rise in unison with instructions to, “Stay in the streets in August [and] Build for UNITED NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST Saturday, September 5 [and] DEMAND TRUMP PENCE OUT NOW!,” this to follow 12 days later when all gather in DC for the White House Siege lasting 50 days. Their flyer says, “Are you ready for revolution? We are too.”
