This stirs my soul and gives me the strength at this time to fight on. I do not deny as we reach, what I believe to be the last battle against the 'foreign roots" with so little of the "original roots" still holding up the mighty Oak, (but they are the strongest tap roots and they are embedded in the stone not just the soil), I sometimes despair and feel exhausted and weary. It is connections such as this that inspires that keep me going. Thank you dear Patriot.
My prayers to you patriot, strength comes in different forms and at different times. Today one may be the strong one, the next the other.... Its the ability to pass on the spirit of strength that God gives us!
I have, literally, white oak seedlings that I wish to gift to the mods of this group. They come from 250 year old stock. I believe they are special and would be appreciated by all of you. Contact me a proton.me.
Amen I lost I thought my strongest root at such a young age~ I despaired and made bad choices~ But believe we are rebuilding our roots now~ faith, Family, America God Bless you all
Bravo. This touches a concern I have: when the dark roots are eradicated, what roots will remain? The "light" is filled with such diametrically opposed spiritual groups. Like Israel in Jehu's time, if we replace baalism with a kinder, friendlier, golden calf, the tree will wither regardless. So few patriots follow the God of our ancestors that I fear our unconditional love for one another will not be recognized as such. Much of the confusion stems directly from that which was sown by the dying dark roots. So many think the Bible is incomprehensible. That is simply not so: it is very straightforward. It is the filters we have been taught since birth which make it difficult.
To this end, I have elected to begin my own substack with the tall intention of tying together the fundamentals of the Bible, showing how the concepts presented are actually simpler the deeper one digs, and how they apply directly to the necessary structure of any republic intended to last.
I have no formal theological training, just what I have learned from hoovering up knowledge from many sources, my own focused studying over the last several years, a God-given inability to think inside the traditional box, and most importantly, God's prompting and guidance (I pray).
Will do, just promise me you'll provide constructive criticism. Some of where I am going with it is fairly parallel to what I have seen Derek Johnson posting, but I feel he is off on several very key items. Namely that a) Military law ought only apply to people through contract (joining the military) or conquest, which would amount to high treason if applied to their own nation. b) Thus, the Constitution cannot be on hold, or there is no law. c) The military is, or ought to be, separate from the Federal government, because We The People (not me, William, or you, Joe Bob) are the sovereign authority beneath God and as such, as the Bible states, Caesar has the power of the sword to maintain law and order. Thus, the military of any republic ought to be contracted to WTP first, thus the reason all military personnel regardless of rank refer to civilians as sir/ma'am.
This means that, yes, the military could come to the rescue, but only under orders from WTP, typically expressed through Congress and the CIC, who is the "prime contractor". Issuing a direct order from WTP to the CIC or military at large requires an overwhelming majority of the people to demand it.
And that takes work and maximum engagement on all our parts to achieve.
Until, and if, that happens, "all" the military can do is essentially provide threat analysis and warnings.
Comprehension is one thing. If it is going to last, we need understanding in the biblical sense: "hypostasis", which is what I hope and pray to provide, starting with the ten commandments.
It's going to be a tall order for a former squid/bubblehead/nuc, but it seems to be a dire need and someone needs to step up.
1. Research the law and processes. Even declaration of war, there’s a process, martial law, there’s a process, Continuity of government, there’s a process, none of which can be in secret.
2. Research the chain of command, I was in the Navy as well, EOD. And even I didn’t understand it’s strictness and safeguards in place, especially at the higher levels.
3. Research command and control. This to is significant as the Chain of command, relating to the combatant commanders, cannot be delegated outside the direct line to the President!, CIC isn’t mentioned. Combatant commanders, SECDEF, President.... see The Department of Defense Reorganization Act you're referring to is likely the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986.
4. If you were a Nuc, you understand the importance of verbiage in publications, AND the Bible....
5. Don’t cherry pick, truth is truth.. I have debunked Derek Johnson’s theory multiple ways. And it’s not about debunking, it’s about truths and not providing false hope and lying. All the debunking I did with both devolution, and Dirk Johnson theory I used their own references. But believe me, I will give you an honest and constructive criticism. This is a crucial time in our country and we need people to be focused not full of false hope. I wish you the best of luck writing has been a blessing for me. I hope it is the same for you.
I think, when I get to applying things to the current day, I will likely present it in terms of, what it should be like. After all, how can we see what is bad, if we don't know what good looks like? More importantly, we need some basic principles to support and enough understanding to lend backbone to those principles in order to prevent friendly fire between groups who literally see each other as controlled opposition. Specific to my experience, there seems to be a real lack of traditional Christians motivating themselves to move. "The world is a fallen world and we should expect troubles." or, "Bible says to render unto Caesar..." It makes me want to grab people by the collar and yell at them, "God judges rulers of nations harsher than the people they mislead, because the rulers are given the power and responsibility to lead correctly. Don't you realize that in the US, we, collectively, are Caesar?"
At the end, I hope to then say, okay, we see now what it should look like and why. What is the actual system? Yes, the military is contracted to WTP, but it isn't that simple: there's this law and that law, this internal regulation, etc...
Very good points, looking forward to reading it. And i totally understand what your saying. To be fair, between the “two Groups” you may be referring, one of the groups has a much larger follower base that puts the narrative to that groups advantage. One group has been open, tried to make amens, but was denied and blocked. The one group with a smaller follower base only asked to debate and was mocked, belittled and lied about. For the smaller group, (who does not take donations as it’s not about that rather about saving this country) has not had an opportunity to tell their side of the story. But that’s not what this smaller groups cares about. What they care about is the thousands of votes that are not having a sense of urgency that is needed for this upcoming political battle. The military is not coming. Only we can save ourselves. I’ve been focused on content that’s actionable. This weekend we are releasing 9 articles, each one is a step of tasks that will glide people to get involved in their local communities.
I am starting fairly basic: building universal rights and responsibilities from the ten commandments, then eventually working my way forward. I may pull out my copies of the federalist and anti-federalist papers at some point, but I want to try and keep to reference material that most readers will have at home and are comfortable with, i.e., their bible.
Actually, the two groups I had in mind were New Age/New Thought vs traditional Christianity, although they do seem to divide down roughly the same lines you mentioned. I see a potential future where one side sees themselves as the light vs low-vibration freedom restricting Christianity holding back "Ascension" and the other side which sees New Age/New Thought as a false light bent on deceiving the world. Which is fine to debate and argue and try to save each other's souls, etc, but such stark differences start religious wars and are ripe for manipulation by a common enemy.
Thanks! The second post is already going to be a bit delayed in arriving: it comes down to sorting out "Racca" vs "Moros" which are Greek in Matthew vs the five different words for "fool" in the Old Testament. I need to figure out how to succinctly explain an opinion based on the most common Hebrew word translated to "Moros" in the Septuagint: 50% of uses of Moros are talking about the worst kind of fool (someone who says there is no God or follows other gods and seeks to recruit others to follow them), while the rest are distributed amongst the other four types. It matters, because Jesus is either saying you are in danger of hell if you unjustly call someone a light insult like "dummy" or he is saying you are in danger of hell if you unjustly call someone a godless vile usurper of authority seeking to drag others down with them. It all ultimately pertains to whether or not we have the God-recognized right to free speech as well as life under the unifying idea of "Do not physically or abstractly discard God or fellow man". If we are going to burn in the fires for a casual insult, then no, though we have the free will to make that choice. If we only burn if we are knowingly slandering a good person without evidence, that fits with our concept of freedom of speech.
The translation gets tough, because Moros is used a lot in the New Testament, and it's severity seems to undergo a language shift over time until it is no worse an insult than Racca.
Amen! Our own childhood upbringing can create those filters that keep us held captive...it is worthwhile to find the truth and fight to have the negative seeds in us replaced! At age 71, I am finally gaining ground!
I AM 80= ALMOST 2 MONTHS. MY NEXT OLDEST SIS JUST PASSED. I AM NOW THE PATRIARCH. I MISS THEM ALL - AND WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND DID FOR ME! THEY WERE ALL GREAT AMERICANS - AS WERE THOSE THAT FOUGHT AND DIED, AND ARE, AND WILL!
I totally get that, Larry! God bless you! My husband passed last September—two days before his birthday—-now I am the Matriarch! Spiritually speaking, I carry that mantle for
My family. My husband and daughter and brother in law all served..so grateful!
I have a nephew entering service next month! My spouse died from complications caused by remdesivir!!! We fight battles today on MANY fronts! But we do not give up! Our descendants are counting on us!
God bless you both Carol and Larry! I know you guys have had hard times and I could not imagine enduring the loses you have had. But I want to say thank you for sharing and your strength is an inspiration. God less you guys!!
To clarify: I tend to take what I was taught to assume, and test it to see if I can prove it for myself. I often did the same in my career before this information war really kicked off: I would test certain assumptions our procedures were based on in a controlled environment. Usually I came away with a better understanding of why we did things that way. Occasionally, I proved an old assumption wrong. Of course, that's the sort of attitude that gets one fired for calling out coercion to vaccinate one's workers as illegal. So now I get to mine Bitcoin, poll watch, and dig into the Bible like there's no tomorrow.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
Great article. Every day the substack writers bolster my hope for our American way of life. It’s no accident that “In God We Trust”. We ALL have divine appointments. Looking forward to meeting you All. And we will.
My favorite tree is an old oak on top of a granite boulder, that grew through the rock and split it as it grew so its roots are visible. It grew at least 30 feet through the boulder, then finally, into the soil underneath and Earth Mother. It is a picture of will, focus, intent, perseverance and strength, to me every time I visit it.
I think of it often these days as I struggle to find my place and my purpose alone and isolated since retirement and family and friends determined I was too dangerous to be around. The need to have a connection to my creator and be the best version of myself is my only desire and connection to ALL THAT IS will be my final affirmation of meeting this goal.
I am trying to post but I am sadly not talented nor learned in regards to this. I will get assistance as soon as I can for it is truly a magnificent tree! Thanx so much, Sharon
I hear you!! I am the very same with this technology...my family got
Me a tablet for my birthday so I can lay my phone down and have a larger
Screen and keyboard...I haven’t even reached for it! Less is better for me right now...simple! I have a PAPER tablet near me that I am writing on by with a pen all the things I need help with when my
Daughter has time...it’s all to do with using that tablet! And they set it up. Other siblings of hers said mom it’s just a learning curve..after that you will love it.
I wish I had a five year old grandchild come to visit so they can show me!! Lol! So I bless you sharonmo that you have a visit from a kindergartener who can do what we struggle with! Lol!
Yu are on my same page! I think the thought pervading message stimulated by this article describes us perfectly in my love of this trees struggles. I thank yu for your connection and understanding! I want so badly to show yu but I imagine yu can imagine it just as completely! Love andgratitude, Sharon
It's funny, I did a bunch of research recently on the White Oak. I'll tell you what I found, with God's help.
1. The native Indian tribes used the White Oak for medicinal purposes. It was used as an astringent, antiseptic, curing skin issues, is an expectorant, tonic, settles coughs, diarrhea, mouth sores, etc.
2. The city of Albuquerque literally means "White Oak".
3. There is an annular solar eclipse coming to the US on October 14th of this year, and it will cross over the city of Albuquerque. Those who are there on that day will see the totality of the eclipse.
Well said and beautifully written
We need to hurry and do this, we the People…
Nice allegory. And inspiring.

I am interested in the seedling! I subscribed but don’t see anything there...
Amen I lost I thought my strongest root at such a young age~ I despaired and made bad choices~ But believe we are rebuilding our roots now~ faith, Family, America God Bless you all
YOU ARE FORGIVEN,!
