Totalitarian regimes attempt to erase or alter history, but examples of ordinary people overcoming great odds for liberty, such as the American Revolution, inspire present and future generations.
The American Revolution, sparked by symbolic acts like the Boston Tea Party, inspired numerous wars of independence worldwide, including in Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe.
The seemingly insignificant actions of a few individuals can ignite a revolution and massively impact the status quo, as demonstrated by the American Revolution and the Yellow Vest Protests in France.
The globalist ‘elites’ might seem to have a dominant hold on society, but their real hold on power is precarious. The silent majority holds all the cards that matter and can awaken to raise their voices against tyranny.
Everyone should continue fighting against injustice and state tyranny, as even seemingly inconsequential actions can have a profound impact on the course of world history.
One aspect common to every totalitarian movement has been its attempt at erasing or altering history for tyrants know history is full of examples of ordinary individuals overcoming great odds in their quest for liberty.
Their examples, in turn, would come to inspire people in the present to perform the same heroic deeds.
Personally, one of my favourite of such historical examples is the American Revolution, which gave rise to the world’s first modern democracy.
The Revolution would come to inspire similar movements in the rest of the world, including numerous wars of independence in Latin America.
Even more than a century later, echoes of the Revolution would be found in the liberty movements of Asia and Eastern Europe they fought to free themselves from West European and Soviet Imperialism.
It is strange to think this entire series of events all happened because of one seemingly isolated incident by some disgruntled British colonial subjects, which today we know as the Boston Tea Party.
Opposed to the tyrannical way the British Crown ruled its American colony, some demonstrators boarded ships at the Boston Harbor and threw its tea content overboard.
Its significance was symbolic; colonials were no longer going to passively accept their rights being violated.
And this would ignite the ambers of a revolution even as the British reacted by increasing oppression in the colonies, and even resorting to armed suppression.
In the end, the Americans would win their independence and establish a new nation based on the principles of democracy and individual liberty.
It reminds us that our actions, no matter how insignificant they may seem, have the potential to massively impact the status quo; all that is needed is for us to summon the courage to act.
A similar example closer to our time is that of the Yellow Vest Protests in France.
These protests were ignited by the symbolic actions of a few individuals.
The Yellow Vest Protests actually started as a result of an online petition.
One should never be fooled by the seemingly dominant hold the globalist ‘elites’ try to project they have over society.
Their real hold on power is always precarious, and the silent majority really hold all the cards that matter.
For it is not called the silent majority for no reason.
All it can take is one act for the spirit of the people to be awakened and finally raise their voices against tyranny.
So, dear friends and freedom-loving patriots, whatever you are doing in your quest to fight injustice and increased state tyranny, continue doing so.
One never knows how big of an impact their seemingly inconsequential act can have on the course of world history.
Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.
Take care,

reminder that small gestures may produce different and longer results like water dripping on stone This can make a lasting indent or build upwards like a stalactite but the action is rewarding either way recall that stagnation is the worst possible effect on any subject a stifling influence a destruction of thinking and progress Small gestures do have a place in the world even a friendly smile helps
We must not forget a few years back those brave Freedom and Democracy fighters protesting on the streets of Hong Kong.
