As we talked about in “The People’s House – Part 1”, the image above is not the People’s House. That phrase belongs only to the White House, where the President lives. However, many people continue to think of the Capitol building as the People’s House. There seems to be an unhealthy view of these buildings, especially of those who reside in the Washington D. C. area. We want to point out what these buildings represent, a manifestation of the entire country.

The People’s House foundation: The foundation is actually laid by the architects of our Founding Fathers. It was not laid on fear or weakness, nor with ease or comfort. It was laid upon the wisdom of ancients. The foundation is secured by those who defend its solid footings, which were set in moral principles, unmovable arguments, and unwavering beliefs in truth and justice for all.

The People’s House construction: It is constructed of the determined steel of those who traveled the depths of the earth in search of that which fueled the industrial revolution, and of those who walked the beams of our high rises. It is constructed of those who pressed forward to victory even after great losses, to those who never gave up on their offspring, and to those who would not be forever relegated to the back of a bus. It is constructed by those who overcame the odds and created jobs for those who found purpose, wealth, and satisfaction in a daily task done well.

The People’s House engravings: It is engraved with native sayings and a proud shared heritage. It is engraved with the axe marks on those cabin logs made by frontier men and women. It is engraved with the fleshly scars of those who laid the rail lines, built ships and planes of war, and who sacrificed personal time and benefits to secure a better future for their posterity. It is engraved with sayings that cannot always be remembered, or figures that cannot always be seen. It is engraved with sweat which cannot be measured, with the unfathomable depths of loving hearts.

The People’s House paint: It is covered with the blood of those who sacrificed their tomorrows for our todays, from the hallowed fields of Gettysburg, to the walls of The Alamo, from the shores of Normandy, to the jungles of Vietnam, and to the mountains of Afghanistan. It is covered with the boldness and blood of those who marched from Selma to Montgomery, It is covered in the blood of defenders, of those overcome by rioters, looters, thugs, and murderers. It is colored with the melting pot of ethnicities, ideas, talents, and efforts of many sharing a common gift and purpose.

The People’s House in Washington D. C. is only a representation of the true “People’s House”, for the true “People’s House” stretches from shore-to-shore, from border-to-border. We live in the plains, mountains, valleys, and in the cities. We all live in “E Pluribus Unum”, Out Of Many, One. Please join with us as one Country together as we begin to take back our freedoms and go mask free if possible, and fully open up all businesses and institutions on JULY 4, 2021.

Most who are Citizens of the U. S. have never personally visited the “People’s House”. The White House is called the “People’s House”. It has that name because the American people own it, pay for it, and permit the President to live there. The Capitol Building, which hosts the Senate and the House of Representatives, is not the “People’s House”. In fact, the Capitol Building is no longer even the geographical center of the federal district, even though it forms the origin point for the district’s street-numbering system. It is certainly not the center of the known universe.

Recently, it was claimed that the “People’s House” was stormed by a violent, Trump-supporting mob. This is not true on a number of fronts. It was actually the Capitol Building that was entered. Yes, there was some damage done, but not even equaling one percent of the damage done over the last couple of years in many cities throughout the U. S., damage done by rioters, looters, criminals, thugs, and murderers. Ask those business owners throughout our Country who had their lives turned upside down when their businesses were ransacked, burned, or completely destroyed during the last couple of years. They can tell you what a mob looks like. The vast majority did so in the dark of night, were dressed all in black, wore helmets and other forms of body armor, and used a variety of weapons. Many Citizens were killed, more were injured, few criminals were prosecuted.

There were deaths at the Capitol Building, but of the 5 deaths, 4 were Trump supporters, including an unarmed veteran who was shot and killed by the Capitol Police. The one Capitol Police officer who died, was not killed at the Capitol Building, and he was not hit on the head by a fire extinguisher. The officer, Brian Sicknick, died elsewhere. Why have we not heard the details? Where is the toxicology report from the autopsy? Why was there a hurried cremation? In addition to the exaggeration of the mob rhetoric, no firearms were found. Why do those who work at the Capitol Building consider themselves to be more important than any other U. S. Citizen? The increased security measures are proof of their belief, and that they value themselves, and a concrete structure in Washington D. C., to be of much more value than any other U. S. Citizen’s property, life, or freedom?

Did you know that the incursion of the Capitol Building was planned weeks before by groups not associated with those who were peacefully gathered far from there? In fact, the incursion of the Capitol Building started before President Trump had completed his remarks, which encouraged those who intended to march to the Capitol Building to do so “peacefully and patriotically”. Why do you suppose much of the federal district is now surrounded by a tall fence with Constantine wire on top? Such fencing was not even erected after 9-11, when around 3,000 Americans were killed by terrorists. Why is it okay to fence out Americans from our White House and Capitol Building, but it is not okay to build a fence along our southern boarder to keep out those who are not Citizens of the U. S., many who traffic in humans, cartels who funnel in drugs, who may be terrorists (several apprehended recently), and those who are streaming across our border seeking free medical, food, schooling, and jobs? Most of those jobs taken will be done so at the expense of Hispanic, Black, and other Citizens who are struggling to survive COVID-19 and the seemingly arbitrarily enforced COVID restrictions.

We want to share with you another way to look at the “People’s House” in our next post. We are asking all to go mask free if possible, and to fully open up all businesses and institutions starting JULY 4, 2021.

We do not want to be alarmists, but we do want to expose the total risks presented by COVID-19. Masks do not cover the eyes. Remember when flu season was a big deal? We always heard, “Don’t rub your eyes with your hands”. The reason was that the flu bug could be transmitted to your eyes by your hand touching fomites (surrounding objects), bringing your hand in contact with your eyes, then potentially giving you the flu. We have been told to disinfect our hands often, but little to no mention has been made of the potential danger of contracting COVID-19 through the eyes.

Joseph Fair (urologist and epidemiologist, an NBC news contributor) claimed he got COVID through his eyes (NBC Today show; AARP June 10, 2020; and Web MD on May 26, 2020). Jon Brook, MD (Chief Medical Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) said, “The virus could enter the body through mucous membranes that cover the white parts of our eyes”. Dr. Thomas Steinemann (a clinical spokesperson, American Academy of Ophthalmology) said it is certainly possible that a person could get COVID-19 through the eyes. There is “emerging evidence” that people are catching the virus from droplets floating in the air (reported by CNN health; confirmed by the WHO). These are just a few examples. While the chances are greater contracting the virus through the nose and mouth, contracting it through the eyes cannot be dismissed. That is why the guy in the picture above is completely safe from the virus. He has eye protection.

Our eyes, nose and throat are connected by the nasolacrimal duct system. It carries tears from the ocular surface to the nasal cavity and down the back of the throat. We know this to be true, because when we cry, our nose runs. When medicine is placed in your eyes or nose, you will often feel and taste it in the back of your throat. Why have we not been so informed? Probably because the science on this is still evolving. After all, we were initially told to not wear masks, and now look at us!

When one sneezes, coughs, or is vociferous in speech, respiratory droplets are expelled, the larger ones are 5 to 10 microns in size. Some you can see, and they are heavier and fall down quickly. Anything smaller than 5 microns is too small to see with the naked eye. A micron is 1000th of a millimeter. For perspective, a human hair is typically 50 to 80 microns wide. Most masks do a pretty good job of catching these larger droplets. What about those microscopic particles called aerosols that can stay afloat in still air for long periods of time? The COVID-19 measures between .06 to .14 microns. Think of the virus as smoke or dust. The N-95 mask (so called because it is 95% effective in filtration) filters down to .3 microns. Do you see a potential problem here? To be fair, it is not like a mosquito going through a chain link fence. The virus is often bonded to something else, making it larger. Also, irregular thread filaments, reaching into the spaces between the woven materials, can snag the smaller aerosols, and not all aerosols travel straight through the mask, but may take an angular path, called diffusion. Still, one cannot guaranty 100% protection.

Considering that most cloth masks have holes between the weaves measuring 5 to 200 microns, some have suggested wearing multiple masks. However, being able to breath through a mattress of material is very hard, and the fear of self-induced hypoxia is real. Two perfect solutions exist. You can either goggle and mask up like the fellow above, or close your eyes and hold your breath. Last we checked, continuing to be able to breath was a good thing. Bottom line, masks are no guaranty of protection. There are risks in everything we do, but in our Country we must be free to decide what risks are acceptable. We encourage everyone to go mask free if you can, and for all businesses and institutions to fully open up on JULY 4, 2021.

As in the opening blog on this website, we are continuing to encourage all U. S. citizens to Go Out, Proceed Ahead, and Become Active in reclaiming our freedoms granted to us by our Declaration of Independence. We want everyone able to go mask free, and to have all businesses and institutions open up fully on JULY 4, 2021, as we GO FORTH.

Showing a picture of a sword in this blog in no way represents to anyone that we encourage any kind of violence upon person or property. We are a peaceful people, but we do encourage active participation. Talk without action is wasted breath. There are three aspects we want to share in relationship to the concept of picking up your metaphorical sword and to GO FORTH as to war.

The first is fairly obvious in that to reclaim our liberty, our freedom to do as we please in the U. S., requires us to become actively involved in the process of re-establishing the course of our country as set FORTH in our founding documents. This requires all of us to “Walk the Talk”, to be bold enough to back up our speech with our actions. If you love freedom, then act like you do! Do not simply sit around and Skype to your family and friends your displeasure with the direction of our Country. Pick up your metaphorical sword and GO FORTH as to war.

Most U. S. citizens believe in a Higher Power, and we are not talking about our government. A vast number believe that we are not accidents of nature, that simply crawled out of some gooey slime to miraculously become thinking individuals containing a soul or spirit. If you believe there is an intelligent design involved, then you should be free to share that feeling or belief with others. To be able to speak of this freely, without the fear of having your voice cancelled, is also a freedom that was given to us by our Founding Fathers. It is interesting to note that in the King James Version of the Bible, the term “GO FORTH” is listed well over 100 times, often referencing going to war to achieve a victory. If you are religious, you should have the right to pick up your metaphorical sword and GO FORTH in our Country to share your belief or faith. If you do not believe in a God, then you are also free to not listen. We have the freedom in our Country to choose our own pathway. We can choose to speak, and we can choose to listen, but our Country was not founded upon the principle of some entity picking and choosing what can or cannot be spoken or heard.

Finally, we need to point out the meaning of the phrase “Double Edged Sword”. Most agree that its origin comes from the Arabic phrase “sayf zou hadayn”, which when translated means “Double Edged Sword”. It started to be used as an English metaphor sometime during the 15th century. The idiom means a choice you make can have both a positive and negative result. When we speak, we must remember the power of our words. Look at the picture below. For those who believe God created this world, you must be reminded that it was done not with a wave of His hand, or done with a magic wand, for God SPOKE the creation into existence. Now THAT is POWER. Please speak carefully.

In the year of our Lord 2020, the Lord told Noah “I want you to build an Ark because I am going to destroy the earth by a flood. You have one year to get it done!” At the beginning of 2021, the Lord re-visited Noah to check on his progress, but found Noah in a deep funky depression. The Lord asked, “Why are you sitting on your duff, and haven’t completed work on the Ark?”

Noah asked the Lord for forgiveness, explaining he had encountered many unforeseen obstacles. “First, everywhere I wanted to build was restricted by city planners and other developers. The next place found was in a 500 year flood plain, and no construction was permitted. Then I found another place, but the EPA needed an extensive environmental impact study. Following that process, I learned that a tiny endangered fish was in my creek, and I had to relocate. Then I learned that the wood you wanted me to use came from federal land, and all harvesting there was prohibited, something about ‘old growth forest’. When I started gathering the animals, I was sued by PETA for confining animals against their will, and that the housing for them was too confining. The permits required to obtain certain species was either too extensive or even prohibited.”

“COVID showed up and it was nearly impossible to find workers, and when I did, the Ark Building Union, local, state, and federal agencies shut me down for not hiring union workers, and for not being diverse enough in my hiring process. No more than half of my workers could be men, and three-quarters had to be other than white. When I needed more tools or materials, most local stores were either closed, or had very restrictive business hours. Do you know how many masks a person has to use each day in and around saw dust and dirt? The federal government didn’t recognize me as what they called ‘an essential business’, so I couldn’t get the numbers of masks I needed, and often had to halt construction. I was forced to use alternative energy sources, as I often exceeded something called ‘my carbon emissions quota’. Please forgive me, Lord, but I don’t think I’ll ever get the Ark built.”

The darkened skies began to clear, and a great rainbow stretched from one horizon to the other. Noah asked, “Lord, are you not going to destroy the earth?” The Lord responded to Noah, “No, the government has already beat me to it.”

Plan to go mask free and open up all businesses fully on July 4, 2021

The reason we can all take off our masks and open up all our businesses on JULY 4, 2021

Here is a good definition of Herd Immunity. “The resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination.”

We have been constantly bombarded with the phrase “Follow The Science”. So let us do just that, and show why we can safely reclaim our freedom this coming JULY 4. Let us start with the assumption that there are 335 million people in the United States. We don’t really know the exact number. The U. S. Census Bureau estimated just under 330 million in 2019. Many have said we have 11 million illegal aliens living in our country, but the same number was quoted a decade ago, and it could be more than double that number today. We also do not know if the U. S. Census includes some or all of them.

Here are numbers that have been reported by the CDC in the U. S. as of March 1, 2021. 24 million people had been vaccinated with a COVID vaccine. 29 million had recovered from having had COVID, and presumably safe from re-infection. 47 million children under the age of 12 live in the U. S. and are rarely affected by COVID.

The low estimate of the number of people being vaccinated each day is 1.5 million, some say as many as 2 million, but we will be conservative and stick with the 1.5 million. There are 124 days from March 1 to July 4 of this year. You can check our math, but that equates to 186 million more people getting the shot in those 124 days. Add this number to the numbers in the paragraph above, and you get 286 million people safe from getting or giving COVID, as safe as one can be from anything else lurking about like the flu, cancer, and heart attacks, just to name a few.

We have been told that HERD IMMUNITY can be achieved above 50% of the population, although we believe that to be too low a threshold. We have heard some want 90%, but we believe that will never happen as there will probably be a fair percentage of our population that will refuse to get the vaccine, which is their choice in a free society. Some of those may have natural immunity to COVID anyway. Using the numbers given above, by JULY 4, 2021, we will have achieved 85% HERD IMMUNITY in the United States.

Please join all of us together to take our masks off and open up all our businesses on JULY 4, 2021.

Out of many, one

“E Pluribus Unum” is Latin in origin. It is found on much of our currency. It was the traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal along with “Annuit Coeptis (He approves things undertaken) and “Novus Ordo Seclorum” (New order of the ages), approved by an Act of Congress in 1782. “In God We Trust” became the official motto by an Act of Congress in 1956.

So what’s the big deal? For much of the life of the United States, we were affectionately known as “The Melting Pot of the World”. Is this still true? If not, what has happened? Basically, we have lost focus on one of the great principles that formed this great Union. In the last few decades, we have allowed the political, corporate, and elite interests in the U.S. to slowly erode our common interests, goals, and purpose. We have become like that proverbial frog in the pot of water on the stove. At first, we were happy in our naivete, but as the heat slowly increases, we can find ourselves lost in the raging boils around us. Fortunately for us, it is not too late to recapture what once was. We do not have to accept a “new normal” imposed on us by those who would suppress our freedoms to their own benefit.

We need to re-weave the beautiful tapestry of our Nation’s composition. Our heritage is from all over the world, joining in a common purpose of freedom. We have allowed powerful forces to pour us out of our Melting Pot into individual cupcake holes, separated and divided from each other. We need to get out of our individual niches and reform into the beautiful mixture as our founding fathers intended. We are a strong people in this Nation, not because we have been molded into one thought or belief, but because of our diversity which gives us strength beyond our individual ideas, talents and actions. Think in terms of Unity, not Uniformity.

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

Regardless of your race, creed, gender, or political leanings, we are all being divided and conquered by those political, corporate, and elite entities. When we are divided, we are easily controlled and conquered. Fear of being singled out due to non-compliance, even being arrested, or even having our business shut down, has made us all susceptible to being controlled, to losing our freedoms. Do not let one, or a few, people or businesses try to fight these powerful forces alone. With all of us together, there is strength in numbers. We are not just a three cord strand, we are a multiple-stranded steel cable! Join hands with all of us and let us all plan to reclaim our freedom on July 4, 2021, by going mask free and opening up all businesses for all usual hours and numbers starting on that day, and going forward. We all need to become one again!

“We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately”. Benjamin Franklin

Take a good look at the picture above. Each wearing a mask, each maintaining separation, but each very much alone. No touching, no hugging, no laughing, no playing or enjoying life. The COVID scare has put us into our own little bubble world, separated from most of those we love and cherish. This has real potential ramifications far beyond the potential risk of getting COVID. Let us count the ways, or just a few of them: Depression, Suicide, Abuse (spousal and child), Delayed Health Screenings or Procedures, Dying Alone. We are innately social creatures. A baby will not survive without the constant nurturing of a parent. We all grew up that way, having the need for physical and emotional contact is deeply engrained within each of us. To be removed from that environment is destructive to our species. We need to get back together. Yes, there are risks, but we accept so many risks each day. Do you evaluate the risk of driving when going to get groceries? You could be hurt in a crash. Do you worry about going down stairs, or up a ladder? You could trip and fall. Do you eat a week-old chicken salad in your fridge? You could get food poisoning. Not wearing a mask, and hugging someone could give you COVID. Fortunately, the death rates are plummeting, and have always been extremely low for healthy younger people. Daily COVID cases in the United States dropped from nearly 275,000 cases on January 8, to under 47,000 cases on March 1 of this year (CDC statistics). You may choose to continue wearing your mask for the rest of your life, and live in a protected, isolated bubble, but that is a personal life choice, and you have the freedom to make that choice. However, the government, at any level, does not have the right to make that choice for anyone. Not in this country. We urge all citizens to stop wearing masks, and for all business to fully open, on July 4, 2021. This is the day we will begin to reclaim our freedom. Please join us. If we do it together, the government cannot arrest and ticket all of us, and I do not believe our folks in blue would intervene. What do you think Benjamin Franklin would say?

It is time to reclaim our freedom

This is a new website designed to gather momentum throughout the United States, including all races, creeds, genders, and social or political affiliations, to make plans to come out from under draconian dictates that have shuttered many in place, muzzled and controlled communications and actions, to the detriment of freedom-loving patriots.

Why are we doing this? The answer has to be “Why not?” If we don’t, who will? It is always easier to let someone else do it, but unfortunately “someone else” isn’t really a person, it is an excuse. We are reminded that the founding fathers of the United States were willing to risk everything of value, including their lives, to break free of tyranny. We are reminded of the young men on D-day that stormed the beaches of Normandy. Many 18 to 20 year old’s gave their lives that day for world freedom. We have heard it said “They gave up their tomorrows for our todays”. We live in freedom today because they were willing to die that day. What are we willing to do to insure that those who follow us in life enjoy the freedoms offered to us by our United States Constitution and our Bill of Rights?

Today, we are being repressed, controlled, and stymied under the guise of statements like “follow the science”, and under the outlandish use of “executive orders” at all levels. As this site is further developed and refined, we will list our reasons and justifications for the actions we are asking all of you to participate in. On July 4, 2021, we are calling on all to set those masks aside, open up all businesses and regular activities, and resume what once was a normal life. There will be exceptions, but there will also be resistance. Big tech, business monopolies, and governmental dictates will want to control and retain their supposed power, but they have no power if we do not give it to them.

Mark your calendars for JULY 4, 2021. This is the day we begin to reclaim our freedom.

Our Blog will be posted each Wednesday and Sunday evenings. Soon, you will be able to respond as this site continues to develop. Thank you for reading, and for joining hands with us in the great endeavor.
