Though it’s always darkest before the dawn, our current darkness is no guarantee that dawn approaches. Indeed, as Mr. Faddis so compellingly argues, our present plight has placed us squarely in I the greatest peril since before our own Revolution in 1776. At dawn we once slept before Pearl Harbor. Now, still enfolded in the Stygian night, we yet slumber on, snoozing faithlessly.
As George Eliot once remarked, “God is inconceivable, immortality unbelievable, but duty is peremptory and absolute.” Without a God and without a master, the weight of days is endless. So, as John Milton and William Butler once proposed, is it better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven?
With our nation buried in debt and the lure of unproven technologies beckoning, is a release imminent from the cultural Gordian knots that bind us? It’s well to remember that those who live by the crystal ball die by eating broken glass.
I like the conceptual idea. Let's not forget a few of the basic tenets of the original Declaration. Namely unalienable and natural rights, human equality, and consent of the governed.
We have drifted so far off course from those tenets, do we have leadership capable of a second Declaration of Independence? My gut tells me we don't. Just look at the willingness of the people recently that readily voted for multiple DSA candidates. We are witnessing the slow dismantling of the republic.
I’m reading one of Barton’s older works, entitled Original Intent. Not only is it profoundly more relevant today than it was in 1997, when he wrote it, but so are the seemingly endless words of our Founders, who weigh in on what was needed to build and maintain a free republic that they were on the verge of fighting a war for. It has over 100 pages of references and little, if any, of Barton’s opinion.
There is nothing left of our republic to save us, sad to say. We’ve turned away from God, we’ve sold our manufacturing to the Chinese along with our military and tech secrets, no longer existing are the prerequisites for becoming a citizen, gone are the restrictions that kept the bad players out. Our leaders work for the oligarchs, most of them who depend on cheap Chinese labor. Educational scores are a total embarrassment compared to students in 1776. Schools are Marxist indoctrination centers. Data centers and AI stand to usurp our water, gas, farm, and electrical resources and lock us into a totalitarian surveillance state, end the rest of our jobs, and much worse. What are we really going to celebrate on the 4th? Our abject failure as a republic?
There have been but two periods in history where men were free, the 400 year period from Moses’ covenant at Moab and the advent of King Saul’s tyranny in the attempt to end the anarchy caused by the priests no longer teaching the law and the judges become corrupt.
We are now at the end of another experiment that began 400 years ago, and who’s to blame? Lethargic, cowardly, faithless preachers who are afraid to tell their congregations of their responsibility before God to hold up the torch of liberty, and the corrupt judges who have destroyed ever remaining remnant of the covenant our Founders made before God Almighty in building this republic.
Ben Franklin was not a perfect man, but in the end, he had more profound wisdom from God than you hear in almost any pulpit today, much less halls of Congress. He wanted our national logo to say, “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Yeah, we’re at that point. What shall we then do?
For any who want even more information - or confirmation, if you prefer, see Epoch Times' documentary "The Final War" (link below). It has not gotten anywhere near the attention it deserves -EVERY American should see it!!!
While I hope and pray we all have the greatest and happiest celebration of our wonderful country’s 250th birthday, it must be remembered that Biden's disastrous administration’s open border policy allowed thousands of potential military aged enemies, many from China, into our country. Celebrate, love our country, but be vigilant and prepared for this will be a time of great opportunity for our enemies to make a terrible statement that touts and furthers their agenda; i.e., the final and complete destruction of America in its 250th year.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. My only other thought is something should have been done back around the Ford Administration.
A timely and important piece, Mr. Faddis.
