Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Is a Debt Ceiling Constitutional?

Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes says "Yes."

"Subsection 4 of the 14th Amendment provides: “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law…shall not be questioned.” This imposes three elements: first, it concerns “public debt”; second, that public debt must be “authorized by law”; and third, the only limitation is that it “not be questioned.” Of note, section 5 only gives one branch “power to enforce” this – Congress “by appropriate legislation.” At the outset, there is an argument that no role exists for any branch of government but Congress, as Congress alone is given the power to enforce. However, unsurprisingly, both the executive and judicial branch reject this limit on their own power, and claim the right to enforce it themselves, treating the provision as simply an authorization of legislation, and not a restriction on the other branches of government. As the historical context makes clear, this Amendment focused on future Confederates joining Congress and revoking the debt issued during the Civil War, or trying to require Union repayments of Confederate debt. The application of this provision to current times shows the expansive effect of its plain language."

Are You Watching the Cultural Forces Aligning?

Charlie was a hard-working and very talented man, but he worked hard at what? He was a campus evangelist and a podcaster. He had thrown himself into the mission of talking about doctrine and comprehensive worldview with nineteen-year-olds. Doing that, he became such a cultural force that he was shot and killed by the darkness we are up against. And at the memorial service for this campus evangelist, you had the president’s cabinet sitting in the front row, the secretary of state declaring the gospel, the vice-president of the United States walking us through the Nicene Creed, numerous faithful Christians pointing the way to Jesus Christ, the president himself present and speaking, a beautiful widow speaking her beautiful words, and with thousands upon thousands in the stadium, and a hundred million people watching around the globe.

Two Bio-Weapons Did What They Were Designed to Do: Kill Humans In a Controlled Timeframe

The two weapons were the Covid virus and the Covid vaccine.

A bombshell new peer-reviewed study has dropped a hammer on the official Covid narrative, concluding that both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the mRNA “vaccines” share “deliberately engineered” features consistent with gain-of-function biological weapons research. The researchers behind the study warn that the mRNA injections have caused “unprecedented levels of morbidity and mortality.” The study’s paper was authored by 11 scientific and legal experts. It was published in the prestigious Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. You can access the study here:

Isn't it a crime to incite violence?

Yes. 18 U.S. Code § 373: specifically criminalizes the solicitation of a crime of violence.

The law covers actions that "solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade" someone to commit a felony, with the intent that the other person will use physical force against property or another person.

From the State Department on the 27th:
"Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence.

We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions."
