9am Liberty Essentials - Karen the Riveter, Ralph the IT Guy and Greg Martini will be teaching the perspective on religion in government. This is a continuance of study of the Constitution and lawful self governance. We will be learning together the relevance of current issues and apply the Constitution for guidance. 10am Water Wars Notices. We will be going over the notices served to Byron Township as a method to, first educate them on their deligated duties and the law they must abide by. Second, to hold them accountable by notices and affidavits. This process is the way for citizens of the 50 states to have remedy for when our rights are infringed upon. Karen the Riveter & Greg Martini - Mr. Martini began studying and learning the IRS Tax Code and it’s Status and Standing for American(s), which led him during COVID in 2021 to studying the Law in America. By the end of 2023, he found a group led by David Jose and Mr. Martini began studying all of Dave’s law classes, along with other patriots that have published their works over the past decade. He has become an active Constitutional member of several groups that educate and assemble to learn and discuss our social/political structure in the United States.

Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. And it is, let's see, the tenth day of December twenty twenty five. Welcome to our show today. You know, it really felt good this week to get back on being on and talk to everybody just so everybody knows this is my educational process. And I'm actually really excited that everybody wants to join in and learn the law. Had a very interesting start to my day today. And it looks like we have a little bit of lag here, according to Ralph. who is watching things. And so let's, let's just jump into this and see what happens. Morning guys. How you doing? Wonderful. Good morning. So is there, is there a lag here a little bit? A little bit, but it's getting a little better as we're on longer. Okay, well, let's see what happens today. So glad to see you guys here. Okay, guys, these guys are my peeps. I love these guys a lot. And we're actually very good friends, which makes it even more fun for me to, you know, be on here with people that I know and love. And it's like having coffee with your friends in the morning. That's what it's like, right? And things get off the rails. Amen. So yeah. Great way to start the day. Yeah, seriously. You got your coffee? I don't. So I'm going to have to leave and get my coffee in a minute. So I had an interesting discussion this morning. I had a call right off the bat from one of our public functionaries who decided to engage in threat, coercion, and duress. And, um, I think that this is one of the most important things that we can do is actually learn the law. So with it, when somebody tries to corner you and or threaten you or coerce you in something that you can back their happy behinds down and tell them where they stand. And I did that this morning. And, uh, so I'm kind of loaded for bear right now because I, uh, I, uh, uh, literally put somebody in their place that needed to. And we came out on the other side very, very well with him deciding that he wanted to be real workable and not just to walk in like I'm all that in a bag of chips and you're going to do what I tell you to do because I am the authority. And I'm like, no, you're not. And you are engaging in threat, duress and coercion. And this is not going to end well for you. And so that's kind of how my morning started. And so just for everybody here, you do not have to take this crap from these people. And learning the skill to be able to debate things and back it up, not with emotions, but actual ammunition. And I mean verbal ammunition by being able to quote the law because you know it well enough. and that you can literally quote it on the spot. It's like going into training. You know, I used to be a power lifter. And when you go into, into something like that, you train, it doesn't happen overnight, but you've got to be consistent. You got to go forward and you've got to have that no, no back down attitude and see the goal. Right? So the goal is for us here to be absolutely fluent in, in lawful terms, knowing the language, it's a verbal and a mental preparedness or training we're in. So that when this stuff comes, you are so loaded that they have no defense. And that doesn't come with being emotional or being hysterical and saying, I just don't want this. I don't want this. It's like, this is the law. You just crossed the line. Now, where are we going to go from here? Are you going to decide to follow the law or are we going to have to escalate this to another level? You'll be amazed at how unprepared they are to actually have that kind of debate. And the next thing you know, just because of your confidence, they're deciding to be workable and it's usually pretty fast. So anyhow, kind of a good pep talk for the morning. Don't back down. Never back down. Never quit. And continue on the training so that you are equipped to deal with any situation that comes your way. And the more you're equipped, the more God's going to give you. So the training is never going to stop. So as long as we're prepared, we're good to go. Anyhow, and then the second thing is Jot Farm Forum. We're going to go to that one right now, who is right now I'm going to publicly state is a piece of crap because they sold out to we the people. And so I think we should give them the notoriety that they deserve right now. And say, that's okay. Keep it up. But everybody out there, you better assess yourselves and your choices. Because if you're getting paid off to turn your back on we the people, you're going to get the notoriety that you deserve. Jot form is a piece of crap. Burn it to the ground, everybody. Burn it to the ground. Because they're depriving everyone of their First Amendment rights and their ability to redress grievances. They've stepped into that realm by signing a contract. And so guess what? Burn them to the ground, and we're going to go in a different direction. Not literally. Okay, don't grab your torches and pitchforks. Use your mouth and the pen, okay? But you know what I mean. So at any rate. The power of words. Yeah, the power of words. Who did they get bought up by? It's not bought up. They didn't get bought up. They entered into a contract with the government. They sold out effectively to the government so that they could stop. The government wanted us to stop sending so many notices and affidavits through their service. So it's pretty simple for them. I mean... They live in a world where they just crush these small companies and buy them out if they have to, contract with them. But they can't stop us. I mean, we are entitled to redress a grievance. Our servants must listen to us. And it doesn't matter what they do. We can counteract what they do. We created government that is there to serve us and protect our rights. So they created another mask mandate by silencing the job form distribution of notices. That's OK, guys. Keep making bad choices. We're just going to come back more equipped. Now, remember, they tried to silence me in the media. And guess what? We just built B&M. That's okay. What I found really interesting in the last week is I know somebody who got in behind the scenes who, let's just say, has pretty good clearance to do stuff like that. and found and saw what was happening, that they've set up nodes between us and the actual audience. So there's a node there that the broadcast goes to, and they distribute it, and I never see those numbers. They said it is exponentially higher than what shows up on the broadcast because they set up an intermediary. and multiple intermediaries so they said it is the the viewership is much much much higher so i'm like good to know so that kind of dovetails into something too that i i was kind of hoping to talk about and that is the proposed vpn ban here in michigan um they uh I'm not sure quite everybody understands how the process of encryption works on the internet, where you've got the little HTTPS thing and you get a lock in your browser that shows that the connection is secure whenever you're talking to a bank or whatever. With that, basically what that is, there is a group of a whole ton of organizations that that are all authorized by your browser to be able to certify places as secure. And any of them can issue a certificate for any website. So if, for example, and this has happened before, one of those certificate authorities happens to be based in China and is under the control of the Chinese government, they can issue certificates for any American companies that they want, and browsers will automatically trust that so they can intercept the traffic without anybody knowing. Can you name it? Let's name it. As far as what, the compromised certificate authority? Yep. I don't remember the organization name. This was years ago now, and they were distrusted then by a bunch of the browsers. I'd have to look it up, and it would take me a few minutes. That's okay. But that's just one example of that has happened before. Yeah. Guess what? A whole bunch of those certificate authorities are also based in the US and are within the claimed jurisdiction of national security letters. So pretty much any of those systems are by default compromised or compromisable. And so you really do need to be cautious about trusting anything electronic to be accurate. Oh, like the voting systems and such, the election system? Yep, which those very likely use that exact same system for transmitting data. But that comes back to, there is a proposed ban on VPNs in Michigan. It is House Bill What they're trying to do is, oh, think of the children. We want to make sure that there's nothing harmful that kids can access on the internet. And so we need all of the internet providers to monitor internet connections for anything harmful. And to that same end, we need to ban VPNs so that we can monitor all of that traffic. VPNs are used for an awful lot of things. If you want to work remotely, well, you're probably using a VPN to dial into the office so you can join their network. And so this has incredibly far-reaching consequences. VPNs are not this big old boogeyman thing. They are used all the time. Offices talking to each other. I mean, if you've got multiple locations within a company... those locations are almost certainly connected using VPNs. And so this is an incredibly dangerous thing. I don't expect it to pass, but people do need to realize that they are out to try and strip people all of us of any form of privacy, not just, you know, using VPNs for accessing, you know, content that you disagree with. This is a major functional aspect of modern technology is VPNs. And on top of it, it was introduced by, by a Republican too. Yeah, I believe so. If you access driver, Yeah, I think that's the case. Yeah, I think I saw that in another article. And so this is one of those things that needs to be addressed because it's always, they always promise us security and safety. Guess what? They're going to have it. We're not. And think of the children. And on top of it, if they actually wanted to monitor everything that was going on on the internet, because people always trust secure internet connections, that was a big deal back in the make sure you look for that encryption lock in your browser, and then you know it's secure. If they wanted to compromise that, they already have the tools to compromise that and monitor it, and I'm sure they're not using those at all, considering that has been in place since the start of the internet, basically, or the start of encryption, that vulnerability has been baked into the internet since the beginning of that. Here's the list. Josh Shriver, Joseph Pavlov, Matt Maddock. There's the name. James DeSanto. I like James, but he needs to get his head out of his behind on this one. Joseph Fox and Jennifer Warts. Call them. Text them. No go. We're done with this. Yeah. You want to be able to work from home? Well, you better not let that pass. No corporate entity in their right mind, in my opinion, would be letting their employees work from home and access the corporate network without some method of encryption in between. It's a terrible way to have incredible security vulnerabilities doing that. Yeah, it just invades the surveillance so they can continue to take more of our companies over and go to that public-private partnership nonsense. Yep. Well, this is another one that I... This is another one here that I posted. I think it's important that people know how to use VPNs, what they do, and some of the alternatives that are out there. There's a lot of ads that you see anymore for like NordVPN and that sort of thing where, oh, you can access the internet from all kinds of different locations around the world to get around any kind of restrictions. Well, all you're doing is you're outsourcing your traffic and the monitoring to that VPN company. What you're doing is you're connecting to their servers and using their internet, but you're still providing them a location to monitor. And I tend to think a lot of VPNs that are publicly available are pretty much honeypots where they're trying to get people to use them so that they can monitor them in one place. And Tor is, if you've never used Tor, it is yet another VPN, it ends up working basically through the community. And people talk about this like, oh, it gets you on the dark web or the deep web or whatever. But the reality of it is TOR is also a DoD project. This was pushed very, very heavily back when China started instituting their firewall. This was pushed very heavily by our own government as a method for promoting the free exchange of information in repressive countries like China. That was how this was portrayed. So it's a spy device, in effect. Yeah, and this is... Tor is, I'm going to say, it's not really that secure, in my opinion, because it's too easy for a large entity, such as the Department of Defense, to compromise this. Oh, like, let's just say our elections or crypto or anything like that? Yep. Why would they let anything out there that isn't already compromised? However, there are some advantages to using Tor. And I tend to think a lot of people should be using this for incredibly mundane purposes. Just basically for the heck of it. To disguise anything that would be less mundane that would actually be an important application, like whistleblowers being able to use this. Because... Although it is, from a technical standpoint, fairly easy to compromise Tor, it does provide a level of security because if anyone tried to use evidence that they gathered through the compromise of Tor, they would have to disclose that Tor is compromised. And so as a result, you're kind of playing a game of chicken with them. in that if they want to actually use any of the information they gather from this, well, they have to give up something that they've put decades and at least millions, if not billions, if not trillions of dollars into developing mutual destruction. Yep, exactly. So, well, it is, well, you know, you shouldn't be doing anything illicit on this anyway. Yeah. It does provide a degree of security if you're trying to do something that they are trying to squelch that is legal to do. And so as a result, I do think more people should be using Tor. And they have a browser here that you can just download the browser. It's not the greatest way to get on the Tor network, but it does provide you some level of anonymity just using this browser because it passes the traffic through the Tor network. And so it does help some and it's easy to set up. So this is a great way to even just kind of dip your toes into it and just try it. And it does help quite a bit with getting around censorship and blocking of things. Just don't expect a huge increase in privacy. Well, if you're doing the right thing all the time, you got nothing to worry about. Right. No, I mean, that's, that's the bottom line is do the right thing. And once, once you do that, you got life figured out, you know, if you, if you can't, if you can't do something that let's just say that God, you know, that God Almighty, first of all, sees or your mom or dad or grandma or grandpa, just don't do it. You want people to be proud of you no matter what. And so there's your, there's your plumb line for the day. Don't do it. Do the right thing. You got nothing to worry about. But that said, sometimes the right thing is also frowned upon by those that are doing the wrong thing. And that's where tools like this can can be helpful. Just keep in mind the weaknesses of them. Now the next step up from that is Tails. Tails is a complete system for accessing the internet relatively anonymously, where you download this, you put it on a USB flash drive, you can boot your computer off of this, and it doesn't save anything to your computer. It doesn't really even touch your hard drive for the most part. um so like if you're on windows windows is compromised so this allows you to actually boot outside of windows into a it's a version of linux that is specifically set up to be able to get onto the tor network and access pretty much whatever without censorship and it's it's easy to set up i i but it is less easy than just downloading the Tor browser. Says the IT guy, right? Yeah, there's plenty of tutorials online, though, from non-IT people setting this up. So it's really not that difficult to do. But that's why the Tor browser, if you want something easy... The Tor browser is easy to download and set up and doesn't really take any particular configuration to do. So at a minimum, everyone should probably have a copy of this. Just keep in mind there are security weaknesses in this. So make sure you're doing the right thing. Well, I think that's a good advice for all of life. You know, if we do the right thing, we don't have to worry about about anybody at any time anywhere. Somebody brought up this morning that said they used to have people hacking websites online in online meetings and putting up porn years ago. They're still doing it. They can get in your computer without you. They've left a back door, and especially through the Microsoft products and such, they've left themselves in the operating systems. The operating systems all have it. They can get in your computer, they can look around, and they can get out, and you're never going to see them come or leave or what they did. That's just the fact of where we live right now. So, you know, there is no privacy. There was a big controversy back in the nineties for something called the Clipper Chip. If you want to see kind of... Some of the best evidence that I can think of for why everything modern is compromised, look at the controversy about the clipper chip. The idea was that computers were getting powerful enough that they could start doing encryption on a consumer level instead of encryption being limited to governmental entities. And so the U.S. government... nearly required that all computers be equipped with something called the Clipper chip, which was basically it would do all of the encryption and it was a government mandated chip that would compromise all of the encryption so that the government could access anything encrypted that the computer did. And there was a big controversy about this. A lot of people pushed back on it, thankfully. And so they dropped the requirement for that. But why would they have done that if everything else wasn't already compromised? Well, it's like Signal. You know, I was in a meeting about Signal at one point in time. Very interesting meeting, quite honestly. The kind that you leave your phones outside and nobody, you know, and such. But we were talking about Signal. And what came up is that it's, you know, endpoint encryption and such. But the point being is that signal is not secure and you can see all of the links that are the leaks that have gotten out about it. And people are surprised, but if it's, if it's electronic, it is able to be detected. Now there's, there's some ways that they can, that they've gotten around it, especially in the military with say like active phased array antennas and such, which they've gotten the nose of, of a lot of our military. aircraft and such that they're almost impossible to pick up. But it's a game of... A lot of it is just mutual destruction and that's why some of this doesn't get out. And to a certain extent, just that... that trade-off of, well, they want to use this against you. Now they have to reveal that it's compromised. Sometimes that trade-off is actually worth it and is worth adding a layer to of security, even if it's not perfect security, just for the, like you said, the mutual assured destruction aspect of it to say, okay, you want to compromise me, you have to compromise yourself. So this, if you want a really good, a really good, this isn't a terribly long book. And it really is kind of, it's entertaining in that a lot of it is formed as like puzzles to solve. But this book is probably one of the best books I've ever seen on breaking encryption forms. Basically, every form of encryption that was introduced before computers. And if you want to see a kind of to get into the mindset of the people that are working against security and trying to break security, read through this book. It's not long. It's short. but it's a great book on how to solve substitution ciphers, how to even figure out if you're looking at a substitution cipher or a transposition cipher or whatever. And it doesn't get into computer encryption, but it gets into basically everything up through, I would say, World War I era encryption and shows you how to break pretty much every single form of encryption that you can do by hand. And... Then extrapolate that to the mindset of anybody using computer encryption, and you get an idea of what's actually going on. But just keep in mind, there are no perfect security methods anywhere, in my opinion. Well, just so everybody knows, it's important to exercise your mind on this sort of thing. This is a great way to exercise your brain, keep yourself thinking, and exposing yourself to new things all the time so that you don't get into this cycle of your brain just sort of atrophying and not being quite as fight-ready, right? Yeah. Ralph and I went through, there was a puzzle that was put out years ago, Cicada. And I think that was kind of a fun thing to go through. That was a fun one to go through. And the reason why this was put out was to see who the, honestly, the smartest people out there were who could figure out these absolutely amazing, buried and crazily complex puzzles and find out, you know, to look at it and see the things that weren't immediately apparent. And very interesting. Very, very interesting. Look it up. Try, you know, see if you can find it. And look up the solutions to it. If you can't figure it out, look up the solutions so you can see how those tools work. And how people think. Yes. And, you know, this is something that we've brought it up before, and sometimes people will say, oh, you're just fear-mongering or whatever when you talk about this stuff. This is not stuff to be afraid of. But on the other hand, I am very much against anything that's security theater, that provides a false sense of security, because that is worse than no security at all. It's like you either deal with truth or you run and you hide from it and then get broadsided. I mean, look at, look at how, you know, people want to say, oh, there's no heaven or hell and, or there's heaven, but there's not hell. Guys, guess what? Truth is the truth. You know, avoid the obstacles that are in front of you and make it easy on yourself, you know? And you should know the tools you're using. Don't just trust that those tools are secure because somebody said they're secure, you know? Don't even trust me if I say something's secure, which I'm probably not going to say because pretty much nothing is secure. But on the other hand, don't be afraid of it. Just know what you're using and don't trust things that you shouldn't. Well said. So, all right. So where do we want to go from here, Chris? Can I ask you one question as it relates to the Magnificent Seven and probably the next twenty companies that are growing like Palantir? I mean, I look at Oracle, and that was a Department of Defense company as well. Google was. Palantir clearly is. And now they're building a system, and like you said, they're consolidating all of these VPNs and total control. I mean, there is no such thing as privacy. I just assume that literally everything I do in one way, shape, or form is being tracked and monitored and can be used against me. Um, but I don't do anything that, that, you know, is illicit. So it doesn't bother me when you live, you know, for God and, and, um, by God and with God in us, you, I don't, the freedom that I have from worrying about what they track me and what they find, although we still have issues and the genius act to me is just a final attempt at the nail in the coffin for the government to manage and control all data in perpetuity. And really, that's a top down form of government. And that is a different form of government than America has today. So we are a republic that is a bottom up form of government. So it kind of flows. And it seems to me In the eighties, we broke up monopolies. Now we encourage and we created fewer and fewer monopolies that control more and more of the entire narrative. And now you're letting Oracle get in the game and buy Paramount and Warner Brothers and an attempt to manage all of our data and then control the narrative of what is publicly available through the open airways. To me, we need to, again, go back, get educated, understand education, and we need to squash some of what they've done in the last hundred years in America to create this you know, commerce that has put us all into it. I'm not afraid of technology at all. I endorse technology, especially when it comes to the safety and protection of my constitutional rights, which is the only purpose of government, period. Unfortunately, I think is that we have to sometimes pick up the weapons of our enemies and use them. But understand, as Ralph said, the limitations, you should never be afraid of anything because God is literally walking with us. You can walk through the worst situation where it's you're an enemy territory and the threats around you. And honestly, he will walk you right through it. And the advice of Ralph and the wisdom that, you know, Greg, Karen and everybody brings to the table. I mean, everybody out there has got wisdom that you need to share it with what you know with everyone, because that's how God intended this world to be run. You know, where we were helping each other. We acted as a family. We protected each other and such. So if you have something to say, say it, say it loud. Don't stop saying it. If you can use the weapons of the enemy, pick them up and use them. But but make sure your life is above reproach no matter what you can do. So sobering information. It's like if you're walking, you're getting out of the shower, you're buck naked. They can see you. Okay. There is all kinds of, you're not hiding in your house. You are at no point in time, not under surveillance. It starts kind of at the lower level with a cell phone, but there's other methods that they have. They can see fifty feet underground. They can see into your homes. They can see everywhere. And one of the, if we don't get good people to step up and fight this on every level of our, it's up to us as citizens, we the people are going to have to take this back because them, the politicians, them, the corporatocracy, they are the enemies of we the people and they don't care. See, that's one of the reasons why even for ineffectual security methods, if they make it, If those security methods make it more annoying or more costly for surveillance and censorship to happen, I am all for them. Because if it's something where I am standing up for my Fourth Amendment rights to be able to be secure in my person and effects, which I consider to also be data, well... then you need to stand up for that. Because if all of us just lay down and say, well, we are all under surveillance constantly. That is pretty much true and everything you do online is pretty much gonna be monitored someplace. And everything you do offline is probably monitored somehow and probably in multiple ways so that they can correlate the data together. But it doesn't mean you give up on it. You just have to try and do things, even though you know they're not going to work sometimes, just to make it more annoying, more difficult, and make it more costly for them so that eventually, because otherwise if everyone just lays down and says, okay, well, since there is no privacy, then I have no reason to even try to protect my privacy, then we have all lost. Because at that point, there's no incentive for them to stop, slow down, or even think about it twice, whether what they're doing is right or not. And if you can at least stand up for yourself to a limited extent, whether that's keep things out of the cloud as much as you can. Microsoft is trying to soak up every bit of data on your computer by using OneDrive and using their backup systems and everything. Whatever you can do to make it so that they have to actually expend effort to surveil you and censor you, do it. Make it obnoxious. Start standing up for yourself. There's a lot of different measures that you can do to do that. I mean, for example, Tor. Is it perfect? No. Is it compromised? Yeah, pretty well certainly. It was developed by the DoD. Why would they have distributed that if it wasn't already compromised from the beginning? But is it still helpful? Yeah, I think so. It makes it at least harder for your local internet provider to surveil you, for the coffee shop that you may be connecting to Wi-Fi over to surveil you. All of the internet providers in between you and the websites that you're trying to visit, Level Three's big data center interchange down in Chicago. all of that stuff, all of those points are points where they could surveil things where, okay, you use Tor, it's not perfect, but it at least cuts out a whole bunch of those middlemen to the point where it only has to be compromised or only can be compromised in limited areas. Okay, well, you've now just made it more difficult and or more expensive. So at some point that cost is going to catch up with somebody and they're going to have to think twice, you know? It may not be perfect, but it's better than just laying down and giving up. Well, realize, too, to make sure that nobody goes straight to paranoia, that there's an internal war going on within our own government. There's good guys and bad guys. And sometimes they're a little hard to tell apart, but it finally comes up. But look at the military with General Milley. and what he did and such. So I mean, when you're looking at everything, everything has sort of been infiltrated, but they've been infiltrated both ways. So like when Antifa was out and BLM was out, you think they were just running over our streets with no action? Heck no. I'm telling you right now, they had assets, good guys had assets within those organizations and they were taking names, collecting evidence, and getting ready to fight back. And sometimes you got to swim with the sharks just a little bit in order to find out which ones bite. And I think that that's where we're at right now. When I look at, say, like, to your point, Palantir, J.D. Vance was buried in Peter Thiel and Palantir, right? So his wonderful words that he says, we can come to some conclusions. Either he's controlled and Somebody gave him a way out or he's a bad guy in there that's trying to mislead people with beautiful words. I have the same feeling about Marjorie Taylor Greene. I am very concerned about her right now and saying that she's going to try to run for president in twenty eight. Well, wait a minute. She completely abandoned the J-Sixers. And how much money that she's worth now as opposed to when she got in? Full stop until we get this stuff figured out instead of jumping on people's bandwagons to have the next... you know, tiger beat or whatever it is, teenage idol that we're looking at instead of looking at their actions. And once again, we have to look at the issues and the actions and not worship the people. The only one that should be worshiped is God almighty, Jesus Christ. That is it over. So, well, and that, That takes us to the law and the people and we form government we are the controllers of our government and we've got the right to abolish our government so they have created this system in this process that they put in place over the top of us we've identified it it's now well understood by many many people all over the country in our group and many others and Now we've identified it. Now we need redress of grievance in our republic. And they have suppressed our ability to get that redress of grievance by using technology against we the people. And that is that must be stopped and must be changed. It goes with job form. It goes with the creation of the inspector generals that Jimmy Carter started. And it just creating an entire separate system, if you will, that no FOIA request can be penetrated into inspector generals. They have complete immunity, even from we the people and even from redress of grievance from we the people. Well, that's what they believed. We need to educate them on that's not the way government works. That's not the way it was ever intended to work. And until we stand up for our rights and let them know we are in the private, We can operate in the private. I can listen to your rules. You can pass all the acts and the bills you want, but they are literally only there to protect my rights. So when you pass an act and the Genius Act, for instance, and you're going to institute all of these controls over my ability to transact In the private, i.e. going to the grocery store and buying food, I don't need you to have that information from me. That should be excluded from the collection of your data. Well, as right now, they want that data. They want to know what I'm eating because ultimately they come out with another vaccine and they force me to take it and I don't take it. They'll prevent me from being able to go to that grocery store and buy food with their fake fiat currency that they created so those are the things that we the people have to learn and stand up for our rights so that we can continue to live in the private and we live on a local basis and we know our neighbors we help our neighbors we don't need the federal government helping everybody and passing out money the way they do today that should happen on a local basis not on a national basis did you miss them during the shutdown Did you miss them during the shutdown? Exactly. Not one bit. And most people didn't. Unfortunately, the only people that really do are the people that are totally dependent on the government. And they shouldn't be. It shouldn't be dependent upon the national government. That was not one of their granted powers. I mean, they don't have that power. And we've got to understand that. Karen, I can see Karen. She's in there taking notes, right? That's what she does. She's got a notebook and she takes notes. No, actually, I'm working a Sudoku while I'm listening. You need to get that book. No, this is one part of my brain is doing the Sudoku and the other part is listening and I'm warming up to saying something. So every time I listen to Ralph do one of these things, I'm like, yeah. Like that part of my brain just goes like turns off and at home in the background. And this is why I admit it, because there's probably a whole chunk of people at home going, when are we going to get to the good stuff? Because I don't want to listen to Ralph anymore. And it's just no offense to him. That is a lane for a lot of people. But it's not a lane for karen the river because I don't live there I you know donna her brain can cover a lot of territory I am not That one I am not technical And i'm okay with it And one reason i'm okay with is because I know there are people like ralph the id guy and so recently To take this from another perspective, recently I noticed a conversation in a nearby township in which apparently some people were complaining because there were some elderly people who could not get out of their driveways. They needed help plowing. Well, apparently in the past there was a millage that had to do with senior plow workers. work. And so the taxpayers allegedly, and I say allegedly because we don't really know what happens with our election processes, allegedly approved of a millage that could be used in this fashion. And so the county took over the decision making as to which townships would get what kind of funding. And And so that township got a little bit of funding and they got a bunch of seniors who were paying enough attention to sign up for it. And so now in the winter, those people get plowed by the government. And if one of them says, I don't need it anymore, or if somebody dies or someone moves in with them and then now they have another way, they come off the list and someone else can get plowed too. But there's other ones left behind. These are people who... have lived in the country probably for years, but now they can't handle living in the country and they haven't prepared. Maybe they don't have the funding. Maybe they don't have good neighbors. And so now, and some of them, Like maybe me in the future will not have the technological familiarity with social media to get online and say in a Facebook group, hey, I need some help. And they're afraid to talk to their neighbors because we've been divided in that way. And so they struggle finding people who can do something for them. What it highlights is all of those things. Now we're relying on the government. We're separated from family, friends, and helpers. And we're not looking for people who we can help. We're not paying attention to our neighbors. And there's always a guy in the neighborhood who can plow or who has a snowblower. And there's always somebody who can't do that but has a little extra money to spare who can pay for somebody to do that. If we were doing what we were supposed to be doing, the elderly person would probably still be living with family. and being taken care of, or they would have neighbors already on task. We would have the helping community that would be capable of doing something like clearing a driveway so that they can get out to get their groceries or whatever it is, or getting their groceries for them so that we don't always have these needs to go to the government to get simple things done. And I've been thinking about, you know, Bill's not on the show today. We're going to miss that. He talked about one time a congressman who disagreed with the concept of public funds being used as a donation to help people in need. Yeah, he was right. I think we need to have the community take care of its own And sometimes if the community is completely overwhelmed, neighboring communities should pitch in. And it's just about all it should be. But we all have a role to play with all parts of the body that way. Think about this. If people actually just do something and there's no transaction, you're depriving the government of the taxes that they normally tax you at. Just go volunteer and do something. Somebody needs, I don't know, a window glazed in. Oh, I have that skill. I guess I'll do that. And offer to do that for people. Or as you said, the snow plowing or using your your snowblower or what, whatever it may be. I mean, we can use the Amish. Yes. Somebody needs a barn time to build a barn, everybody. Well, and I think, I think it's said this way by many people in our founding fathers in the federalist papers and anti-federalist papers. I mean, our government is here to, to protect our rights. They are not here to provide us assistance in that fashion. That's we the people's job. That's God giving us the ability to assemble in our local communities and helping our friends and family. and that's the way the republic is unfortunately we've allowed our government to become so massive and so big because they wanted to divide us and then provide for us and that is not what government is meant to be they protect our rights and we have to provide for our fellow man and that's the way to think about it to me i always use that phrase that protection not providing is their responsibility, and that's in the Constitution. Nowhere in the Constitution does it talk about providing those services for the elderly. I mean, that should be us because we love our neighbors. And I do think most Americans feel that same way. They would happily do it. I would happily do it as long as I'm physically capable. One thing, except the cold, except for Greg needs to learn to dress. The issue number one, first you start out with a base layer, Greg, like this, you know, base layer, a nice wicking thing. This is how you do it, right? So there's your assignment for today. Get a good base layer. We'll start there. That's pretty simple. And then you build up from that. Or you just go out and start shoveling in shorts and a t-shirt because you're going to get overheated by the time you're done anyway. So you might as well be dressed for getting overheated when it's zero out. Maybe that's the way I've got to reintroduce myself to the cold is just start shoveling snow. Oh, I had a guy laugh at me the other day. I was out and about and this guy comes up and he's wearing shorts and sandals. Okay. It was under twenty degrees. And he looked at me and said, looks like you're pretty warm. I said, yeah, I know how to dress for the weather. He's like, I'm from Minnesota. He goes, I can do it to sixty below zero. I'm like, this is truly mutant Viking genes happening here. It was really funny. Before any of this, too, that same township, there was a post there about some kid that were shoveling for the neighbors. If anybody needs their driveway shoveled out, my kids are bored and I can't believe it, but they still have energy. They've been out for hours and they were still looking for somebody else to shovel for. And it's like, you know, you have some kids over here wanting to help. You got some people over there with a need. Maybe they need a driver now. It's just, you got to get these things together. And when you have a little internet, why not use it? Have somebody create a format where the needs can be met by the people who can volunteer. It's not really that hard, but we just need to recognize the skills and the willingness that people have as different parts of the body. I actually like shoveling because you can go to the gym and you can move weights around and when you're done at the gym, all the weights, at least if you're cleaning up after yourself like you're supposed to, all of the weights are back where they started again. They didn't move. If you go out and shovel, by the time you're done, all of that has moved and you can see that you did something. I can tell you... I think that this really starts, you know, to move forward, you know, we, we can talk about things, but we need action plans and actionable stops. And honestly, I think that this is a important thing for everybody to do is do a self-assessment because I personally think that the whole system is going to kind of go down at some point in time. There's, there's enough evidence of that and if you listen to president trump's speech from last night which i did i was kind of laughing through the speech because there was so much going on there that wasn't being said outright and i thought it was very amusing and i probably have a little bit of insight to some of it but it was very very funny and a very unusual speech for him but i do think that we're going to see some dramatic changes And if things change, a good thing to go into this is as a little bit of a prepper is to have a mental checklist. And that is what assets do you have right here in yourself? that you know what to do and that you have equipped yourself with, okay? And I mean, those are survival things, but you should know what your skill sets are. And there is your beginning to serving the community. And not for money, just because you have a gift or you have knowledge that God has given you. Which is why I absolutely love this group of people here and the ones that I know are listening behind Greg. Hi, guys. I love you guys. Is that everybody that's here. is doing this and not getting paid, okay? I'm funding personally this entire thing, the setup, the computer type stuff, the redundancy in other areas of the United States so that this will never ever be totally found and or taken down and put it on the blockchain. Nobody here makes money off of this, okay? Not to my knowledge. If they do it, I would probably have an issue with it because this is something I feel very strongly about is using our time, our talents, and our treasure to fight for this nation. This is not something to profit off of. And if you're doing it like our politicians are, it is patently wrong, okay? There should never be an industry, a political industry, and that's all we have, okay? But taking those things and saying, wow, okay, I got a good back and good knees. I can go shovel. That's great. I can do that. I know somebody who's struggling and who's older in their house. I can do that. I had somebody that I know was watching this morning because she tunes into... everything being in, and I get comments later on my telegram, who is a veteran down in Texas. And she just spilled her guts one day on posting. She broke a bone and she's stuck down in Texas, needs to get up here, but she has no one around her. She's a veteran. And she's older. She has no one to help her. Help her at home. She has no family or nothing. You know what? If you've got somebody like that in your neighborhood, first of all, it takes you giving a crap and getting out there knowing your neighbors. Going out and saying hi. Bring them a plate of cookies. Introduce yourself. And just sit down and have coffee and open yourself up like Jesus did. And said, you know what? This may be a little scary because we've been taught to be isolated, but just do it anyway. OK, you're going to be great. I believe in you. Right. And so but to go out there and find out more about people and you're going to be shocked. at how many people are so lost and alone and honestly they need you they need you if you are capable not to not to do anything heroic necessarily but sit down and talk with them and then get the get the ball rolling figure out what you can do to be part of the solution And so right now I need somebody and I'm thinking I've been looking into plane tickets and seeing if nobody else is going to do it and I can't find somebody to help. I'm probably going to go down there and drive that car back from Texas and try to get help in her house. Uh, there's probably some other options that I could do, you know, that we can look at, you know, shipping the car back and all this other things. But you know what? There's all sorts of things like that, that people can say, huh, well, that sounds like a kind of cool thing. You know, it'd be a road trip day and, and just, just because, right. Yeah. So, oh, yeah, Craig just put it up. Craig, you and I are thinking the same thing at the same time. Road trip. You know, we should get a bunch of us law dogs out there that just love the notices and love fighting things in a legal capacity and go do a road trip. About three of us doing that would be a riot. Because can you imagine how much ground we would cover in the way back? You know, it's about an eighteen hour trip. to come back here, it'd be eighteen hours of flooding with looking things up, reading the maxims, looking at some case law, looking at the court system. It would be phenomenal. Craig and I could talk all day. Oh, Craig just threw you under the bus, Greg. Check this out. Hey, hey, Greg. Thank you, Craig. I love you more every minute right now. He's right. He was on the phone with me the other day as I'm driving through the blizzard in West Virginia, trying to get out of West Virginia so I could avoid all the snowfall. So he's well aware. I got a plan for you, Craig. I think you come up here to Michigan, pick a bunch of us up in the motorhome. We go down there and tow the car back. And so it's just a one way down, one way back. Craig, I'm volunteer telling you that you're on this trip. I'm willing to do that as long as I don't stay in Michigan for more than a day. It's too cold. We'll have snow pants waiting for you. How's that? That doesn't help. You're going to love it. I promise you. I don't know. You just go out there in shorts for a couple of days. You get acclimated to it. I went and tried to buy my heated vest yesterday at Home Depot, but they said they had them online, and I guess you have to order them. So I haven't been able to get my heated vest yet. Go to Cabela's and a whole new world is going to open up for you. Heated socks, heated hand warmers, heated scarves, heated vests. I mean, it's amazing. You're right. In your own ecosystem. I told him about the heated vests, and I told him he could even get one of those little handheld, it's kind of egg-shaped thing from Walmart for like ten bucks. I don't have one, but I know they exist. And they get heated gloves and heated socks and shoe inserts and all kinds of stuff. Why don't we just stay in warm weather all the time? Some of us like the snow for a while and then we hate it when we don't, but let me see if I can find it. Green in the winter and in the summer. I love you, Arizona, but I don't care for the heat too much, and I don't care for the rocks and the fake grass. I do like green things. I don't like allergies, so that's what Arizona is good for. Here, I'm going to expand your world here, Greg. Look at this. Oh, no. You can even have heated pants, heated underwear. Fantastic. I got to do some more digging here. This is awesome. Look at this. Look at this wood job. All right. Thanks a lot, Craig. Thanks a lot, Craig. This is all because of you. Yeah. Craig is fantastic. Look at this. Four seasons to fight for. That's right. We do not discriminate between seasons. There it is. That's the one I tried to buy yesterday. Which one is that? The one across the bottom. They were at Home Depot. But unfortunately, you've got to order them. And I'm probably only staying here another day. By the time it came, I'd be gone. Check out Cabela's. Oh, guess what, Greg? That's another reason to come to Michigan. Because I can tell you what, I have a Cabela's within four miles of my house. You know what? That's not a bad idea. I wonder how close the closest Cabela is. Greg, we're saving this nation. No whining in the gym. Oh, I don't whine. I don't whine. I live in the moment and I don't whine. I just don't like Cole. I wish you guys would know Greg. Don't let him tell you that. I love it. I love it. It's like you're a joy to be around. That's his middle name. I don't know if I've ever not been more positive in my entire life. I mean, you can just sit there. And the glow of God's presence, happiness, and positivity is Greg. We went by a McDonald's when I said something about that being his restaurant. He said, why? Because he says, I love it. They stole your brand. so all right let's let's throw somebody else under the bus now okay come on craig throw somebody else under the bus need some alpaca socks for this texas this texas uh in greg's motorhome uh adventure need some alpaca socks those things are so warm way more so than even wool socks I used to use bread bags. They work amazingly. Well, you're five. I used them when I was fifty. Yeah, those things are great. They're so warm and they wear really well too as far as they don't hardly ever wear out. Well, and that's a good point, though. You know, when you look at being somebody who's a survivalist or a prepper, you got to use everything at your disposal. So to the point, bread bags, that's what we used to use. I remember doing that when I was a kid. You would have bread bags over your socks to waterproof it because we did not have. There's so much that has changed, you know, being, you know, sixty one. There's so much that has changed since we were kids. And the technology is out there to be helpful. Wow, what a thing to be thankful to God for. It's amazing. I learned that in Boy Scouts. Were you in Boy Scouts? I'm an Eagle Scout. I did not know that. That's so awesome. And that's what I learned. And that's what I also learned. how you cannot, you know, sleep through the night with your clothes that you wear during the day because, I mean, most people put more clothes on, but you've got to get that moisture out. So when you learn that in Scouts. Teach us some Boy Scouts. We went camping a lot and it, Scouting is really all about your scout masters. If you have a great scout master, and we did, that took us camping a lot in all sorts of weather, and you learn survival skills. And we traveled to some amazing places and did some crazy things, and I didn't think I would survive, but you learn how to survive. He just forgot parts about the cold, how to survive. No, the older I get, the circulation is not as good as it was when I was much younger. Well, this is Greg as the Scoutmaster now. Guys, we're going to go camping in Georgia, you know? No, you were just doing scouting in Hawaii, huh? No, I wish. I wish. Oh, that's so fun. No, we even went to Michigan to camp, so... We went to the cold parts of the country. Growing up in Ohio, then we went to the surrounding states. That's really awesome. That is so cool. You know, my dad was, not only was my dad a military guy, he was also an Eagle Scout. And the character that's built by these programs, how they used to be, I'm not real fond of the way that things are being run right now. But remember, everything's been infiltrated. So I actually bought a scouting book, an old scout book. and i have because i wanted to see exactly what was taught in years past and honestly it's some of the most wholesome growing up leaders that are prepared and the honor of being a a uh uh a leader in the country, in your families, in bad situations, and being prepared to step in no matter what. And I'm just going to say it, okay? Like I'm obsessed with videos on people doing acts of heroism that are just random. And I'm going to tell you right now, men occupy ninety eight percent of that space because that's the way God built men. They don't even put a thought to themselves and they will run into danger to protect and defend. And it is one of the most inspiring, amazing things. And women, I'm going to tell you right now, you need to be calling out the men in your lives for this characteristic that God built in them. We do not have that to that degree. It's not built into us. It is men. It's a God-given trait that he built in. And I got to tell you, Men, you will have no bigger supporter in the whole world than Donna Brandenburg for calling out these little snowflakes that want to make the world all about themselves, and they don't understand the God-given gift. that God has given all of us to have the two, and there's only two sexes, there's only two genders, male and female, and to look at the gifts he built into each one of us. He didn't build women to be weak. That's not it. We're definitely very strong, but it's like you have to acknowledge the strength that God built into creation. And once you get that figured out, everything gets real simple, you know? um but i i appreciate every single person men and women that go to work every day keep things running for their families those are the true heroes in life yeah it's you you can't have a nation or country without just everyday americans that are stepping up in acts of heroism day to day that no one ever sees nobody acknowledges and you just keep doing it anyway And you know what? Hats off to every single one of you. I love you. I think you're amazing. And it's an honor to be alive at this time to see this American and just godly exceptionalism that we can see the clear difference between good and evil. It's amazing. Amen. Amen. Well said. I'm going to throw something else out there because it's been voice is strong in my mind. Usually, and it's been a touchy point for me because I don't have children. You get around Mother's Day especially, and it's a little painful sometimes because I opted not to do that. But that's because I thought I had an inheritable disease, and I didn't want to pass that on. But God has designed women to want to bear children, and so I have to deal with the consequences of that. But women typically are viewed as children producers and caretakers and valued as such. But we have so much more to offer. And they usually consider women as strong because of childbirth. And sometimes they'll say women are stronger than men in these aspects because of childbirth. Let me tell you. Women are doubly strong because if they can survive childbirth and then they can survive perimenopause and menopause or whatever you want to call it, the men are not as strong as they think they are in comparison to women. And guys, all women know this, okay? I'm going to say it. And I know the women at home are going, yes! Because I think we are underestimated as a gender because... There are, I know a ninety four year old woman who goes outside and gardens every year and she is, except for her eyes, she is sharp and in health. She's just slower. And I go, well, if she can make it to ninety four, I can make it through this challenging time of life, too. But that is a strength that God gives us that we don't even know we have. And we underestimate ourselves in both genders for whatever time or life or stage or phase or challenges you face. God gives us the strength to get through it. And we sometimes underestimate that until we've gone through it and we look back and we go, wow, how did I do that? Well, the key part of that is I didn't get through it alone. I had God to help me through it. And now I'm also grateful. So I'm just going to say it out loud. I am grateful that we have the ability to communicate and the willingness to communicate about women's health issues now because it didn't used to happen before. There were generations of people who did not talk about it. And now there are men talking to other men about how they can help their women, their wives through things like childbirth and menopause, because these are challenges that they're not taught about in the past. They don't understand because they're not us. And they're not usually in touch with all the emotional challenges, the mental challenges. The physical challenges are one thing. But they don't naturally get it because they're not us. But now they're talking about it. And I think this is a wonderful thing. And what a great... as a great bonus to a relationship, if you can get through that as a unit to, um, to benefit your spouse and to teach your children about issues like that. Um, I could talk to certain men. I've talked to a certain one of you knows who I'm talking about called the other day and asked him about things because I've been having some pain and I know he knows a lot of women and he knows a lot about health. And I could say, I've been having some hip pain. What kind of things should I be doing? It's a really common issue. So it's not, we should just be more open to talking about things. the challenges that we face in life and learning from each other about it. That whole conversation is stop competing and, you know, stop competing with each other and honor each other's gifts because that's, that's an important thing. We're, we are created equal and, However, we are not all equal. Okay. And I'm going to say that because like my husband could pick me up and run across the field with me. Okay. That's just the way it is. Equal, but not same. Not same. Okay. And so can I pick him up? No, I could never pick him up. Okay. Not on my best day. Not if I was in my twenties and I was power lifting. Could I pick him up and run across the field? It's not realistic. So when we look at when we look at the differences, you know, we don't need that. We can honor each other and say, oh, my gosh, I'm so glad that that, you know, that you can do that. That's such a cool gift. And then focus on the things that God gave us, because we probably have greater gifts than them in another area that we can contribute to them, not to compete with them to be, you know. And, you know, to your point, you know, you get really strong men and women. And if women teach their daughters to have a, and that's the Bible talks about women teaching older women, teaching their daughters, women, older women are kind of like, have always been the societal cohesion, you know, a factor. Okay. To keep, to keep groups together, watching a family when a mom dies and watch the family usually fall apart. It really is. But you look at somebody like my husband, who is phenomenal, you know, there ain't no way he was ever going to birth a baby, even if he had the parts. You know what I mean? It's like he's pain adverse. You know, he's great at dealing with pain, but... But the point being is that what he's strong at is holding the kids accountable and the boys. He's like, your mom better never have to go and do this, this and this. And you get ahead of that so that, you know, he'll even get on him. You know, I pump my own gas. OK, but it bothers him. He's like, you guys get out there and make sure her car is full. And, you know, you hold the door open for every woman and any man that you're going in somewhere, you hold those doors and you act with with respect to the people that go past. And so, I mean, he's really a good role model in that regard. I have seen him do things that I'm like going, there's not a person on the planet that would have as much class as he had in those situations as him. I just am in awe, honestly. So... You look traditionally and that's one thing that annoys me about... the way the path that feminism took was in devaluing the, it wasn't about, how do I say this? There were a couple of different paths that could have gone. One is glorifying all of the things that men were doing at the time when feminism kind of was gearing up, glorifying those and saying that those were better things for women to strive for. The other option would have been well, how about all of the things that women do are actually important and make a huge difference in society and everyone's lives? And they ended up going, a lot of it, the movement itself ended up going to the former. And I think a lot of that comes down to being able to put wedge the government into society and put it in more control of things. Because honestly, I think if you look back in history, women ran society and kept the structure and kept everyone on the rails. And we've lost a lot of that stability and sanity really in society because of that loss of respect for that. And, um, I mean, I've been on, I was on one board a while back that when I joined, we had a, we had especially one older woman that was on there and she was absolutely the stability of that entire board because she would take everybody to task if they were getting off the rails. And she unfortunately passed while I was on that board. And we had a lot of problems after that because we lost that stability aspect. But it's incredibly important. And keeping that structure there, keeping everyone on the rails, and you look at anyone who's been to a large family gathering, you know, who, who ran that, you know, who was in charge of all of that? Were you, were you honestly concerned about what, what the grandpas or uncles or dads thought about things? No, it was the grandmas and aunts that were in charge of all of that and keeping everybody, keeping everybody doing the right thing, keeping everybody on the rails. And like you said, you know, older women, especially, really tended to be the ones that were in charge of that, that ran society and kept it cohesive. Oh, this is fun. Let's throw this out here. Okay, Craig, I'm throwing you under the bus here. Let's go ahead and poke the bear a little bit. And it comes down again to that concept that we have conflated the concepts of equality and sameness. And that's not true. People need to be respected for whatever they do. And that's also part of the reason why I very much... detest how they have tried to change terms on things like, for example, Secretary's Day. You know, now it's Administrative Assistance Day. Why? Because the people that decided that that was a better name for it didn't have respect for secretaries. And so they didn't respect that term. So now we got to come up with a different term that has more respect. Well, I'm sorry, but if you didn't have respect for the position and the tasks that they were doing before, why do you think changing the terms is going to change that? They deserve that respect regardless of the term. And same thing with like garbage men being sanitation engineers. Now, well, Why? Why is that not something that you can respect inherently? You know, janitor, why is that not a term that can be respected inherently as an incredibly important part of society? Okay, Ralph, come up with a new term for a stall mucker or manure shoveler, you know. Farmer. Yeah, there you go. No, you know, it is what it is. You know, think about the even the wording there when it went from secretary, which is a which is the term that stands on its own to actually be subordinated by assistant. They literally use the term to subordinate it and nobody got it because they didn't they didn't. Nobody really thought this thing through. Secretaries run companies. Yes. And when, I mean, heck, look at boards now. Are you going to have a board without a secretary? It is a formal position. Did we rename secretaries on boards to administrative assistants because for some reason they don't have as much power as everybody else? Well, it's a subordinating term. Yeah. Yeah. So why can't we respect that term, respect that job position for what it was as something that is equally important to everybody else? It may not be same. It may not be something that you personally would want to do. And that is why it's, you know, in the case of like a garbage man or woman. It may not be something that everybody is cut out for because they're grossed out by it. It is incredibly necessary, and as a result, it's probably more important because there's fewer people that want to do it. Why can't that be something that is respected inherently just as much as everything else? Amen. Amen. Well, unfortunately, our government took advantage of this sea change in attitude towards men and women and recognizing that we're different. And they wanted us all to be equal. So what they did was create courts of equity. What is equity? Equity is that balance of debits and credits and assets. Assets and liabilities and that they wanted to equalize all of us. And at the end of the day, we're not all equal. And every single piece of a woman and a man is special. And it's a gift from our father. And unfortunately, we've taken that. into a direction where everything has to be equal, even choosing what sex I want to be today so I can choose my sex. And our government has done that so that they could pervert the law. And they made the law equal rather than make the law the rights from God. And when it's crazy, because Ralph and you were saying it so eloquently, but We stopped teaching entomology. We stopped teaching words. People don't know what words mean. They changed the definitions of all these words, and they did it in the law, and they did it in equality in order to create this terrible system. Look at these systems that we've got in these schools. that just are not about learning and educating and challenging and truth. It's all about the process and, you know, learning the process so that you can regurgitate the process. So, I mean, God gave us our rights, not man. Man is now trying to pervert those rights so that men and women are equal and equal. We were never meant to be equal. God didn't create us to be equal in that fashion. I mean, I have eight sisters as well. So balancing my eight sisters with my Boy Scouts upbringing, it was a great base. I mean, my sisters, I had to open car doors for my own sisters. My father would have... tan my behind if I didn't. So it's, you learn the respect and we all had different functions at the house. So that's what families are for. That's what fellowship is for. That's what communities are for. And that's what assembling is for. And we each have a different piece of this body in order to make our country great. And we are great. We just have to learn what that greatness was built on and why it was built. and it was given to us by God, not man. So let's go back to him. Let's put these Bibles back in the schools. Let's get our education system where we are teaching what people's rights are, how to live in the private versus live in the public. I mean, just fundamental basics. Let's go back to Animal Farm. There's a book out, an old book called Animal Farm, and it showed You know, they did it by kind of like metaphorically using animals for different gifts. You know, you've got a rabbit, you got a fish, you got a bird. And I don't remember. It's been a long time, but they tried to make everybody be able to do the same things. And after a while, a squirrel, the rabbit had broken legs from trying to vertical tree climb. OK, and so they just weren't cut out for it. And that's OK, because your gifts that you have from God are really amazing. And when we do work together, the burdens of life becomes lighter. It just becomes lighter because you're not having to shoulder everything. And there's two things I want to talk about. We're going to start with something that's a little, maybe soberingly negative, but it is something we need to know. What I'm seeing is the reemergence of the old little G gods in the Bible. And when you see that, you see that there really come the honesty, the obsession with gold and silver right now, though there's some smart decisions we can make, looks to me like worshiping the golden calf again and getting away from God because of the obsession. And it's disturbing to me. Asherah was about genital mutilation and the priest used to do that and then carry the knives around and dance around celebrating the mutilation of God's creation the human body okay There are the immersion and I'm going to write something so that I can just put my thoughts down in order because that's, you know, that's what I see is the emergence of the old small G pagan gods. And I think that this is something that we need to do to be a little bit aware of what we're seeing so that we don't get hauled into this trap. of of worshiping things or practices or whatever it is over full stop listen to god and do what he tells you to do okay um not that not that anybody ever gets it right we practice this but i had a wonderful gift from god yesterday that happened and i was looking in for information in an area And I kept feeling like you're looking in the wrong area. You're looking in the wrong area, but it was a logical area to look. And all of a sudden I said, okay, fine. And I went off the rails and I looked in another area and boom, first hit. I got exactly what I needed and it had to do with my court case. It was, it was amazing. And it was like, I'm like, okay, God, I'm an idiot. I didn't listen to you at the beginning and it took you too long to get it through to me. And I'm going to work on that better. Right. And so the only thing is, is when you walk with God, all of it he brings to you and we don't have to go seek. But but be pay attention to what they're inserting as as, you know, small G gods. And one of them, when you look at the political parties. And you're going to have to take a real strong look at what's the spirit behind this, because there is one. And if you have the gift of being able to name spirits and or the discernment, you'll see it right away. It'll be really clear to you. And so something to think about. Now, on the good side of it, one of my favorite people that posts a lot on my Telegram channel, guy from and I love this guy. He's a military guy and I just love him. I love his wisdom and I love what he writes. He goes by Q Truckee Next Gen. And he posted this this morning. And I thought it was wonderful because it was bringing it right back to God again. And it was talking about the twelve days of Christmas. And I honestly did not know this. So I posted it today, gave him credit, a hat tip to him. And I just wanted to read you this because I thought this was good going into Christmas and realizing how far and how pagan the pagan religions have inserted itself into what we believe is following God. OK. And so I think this is interesting, just a real happy thought. Okay, this is just a happy thought. The partridge in the pear tree is Jesus Christ. Two turtle doves are the Old and New Testaments. Three French hens standing for faith, hope, and love. The four calling birds are the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The five golden rings recall the Torah or law, the first five books of the Old Testament. Six geese a-laying stand for the six days of creation, and the seventh day he rested. Seven swans a-swimming represent the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit, prophecy, serving, teaching, exhortation, contribution, leadership, and mercy. The eight maids of milking are the eight beatitudes. Nine ladies dancing are the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The ten lords leaping are the ten commandments. The seven pipers piping stand for eleven faithful disciples. Twelve drummers drumming symbolize the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed. Now you know, Merry Christmas. And so I'm going to try to make sure that we focus on this and bring Christ back into Christmas and what it means not to worship the physical world, the gifts, the material world and such, though the gifts are all part of it. And honestly, gift giving used to be an art form, okay? It was totally, when I was a kid, it was totally an art form. You went to somebody's house, you never showed up empty-handed. It was something that you did just to express your graciousness to the hostess or the host, whether it be, I don't know, cookies, a bottle of wine. flowers. It doesn't matter. You always brought a gift always. And you always said, thank you. You always did something thankful. Thank you. Notes now have gone into text messages, which is great. As long as you remember, you know, things change over time, but, um, all, all of those things that you just acknowledge, acknowledge people, and you can use your gifts that God's given you to as a gift to others. So this holiday season, let's not, let's, let's, uh, I'm going to be doing remembering not feeding the commerce beast and doing gift giving in a different way. To do list checklist. So anyhow, isn't that cool? What Q Trekkie wrote? So cool. Love it. You posted that thing. I did on my Telegram channel. And usually I post on my Telegram channel first because they do the least amount of censoring. And then I'll go to X. X is still censoring, guys. I have posted it will not allow me to post. I had one the other day where I was frankly talking about slavery in our system right now, modern day slavery. We're all slaves. We're debt slaves. And we need to break those chains and step out from underneath it. and say, slaves no more, let my people go. Speaking of, take a look sometime at the amount that was extracted from the slaves and the way that they were treated under the slavery in Egypt in the Bible. The percentage that Egypt took from what the slaves made was... from the research that I've seen, tended to be considerably lower than the amount that we're taxed now. What was the percentage? Do you remember? It was around, kind of depended on the time period, but around twenty percent. Yeah, we're at eighty-five percent right now, plus And that was counted as slavery. And so when, you know, there's slavery in a lot of different forms throughout history. However, when that was counted as slavery, you got to kind of think about things a bit. But yeah, they're pretty much everywhere right now is censoring. And just like, you know, we need to stand up for our... right to privacy, which should be protected under the Fourth Amendment, we need to protect our right to free speech as well. And that's another situation where they keep trying to censor us. Well, we have a right to that. to be able to speak freely. And so if you're being censored, by golly, you have a duty to try and find ways around that to be able to protect your rights because a right that you're not standing up for is one that's going to be infringed. And let's bring this right around a jot form, okay? Not okay. Absolutely not okay. And what they did to sell out to censor us is is absolutely wrong i do want to talk about water wars just for a minute because i played this yesterday but i'm going to play this again because this is going to be the last point of bringing the united states to its to its uh knees If we don't get this figured out, and I'm going to fight this with everything I have in me, because when they're creating a monopoly on water, and once they have water, it's right in the communist playbook. We're all gone. But I want to play this because people have to understand why this happens. fight is so important. And remember, VK Civil has worked in eight states and is trying to link the engineering firm behind linking up these municipal water systems in this area. Okay. And I had one of our township trustees Monday night stupidly say something that was really stupid and said, well, you know, there's hundreds of water wells that have gone without water in Ottawa County. And I'm like, yeah. And who was there draining the water? It was VK Civil, and it was draining the water table out of the area, out of the basin, and destroying people's rights to live independently. If you don't have water... you don't have life and if they're the only ones that can provide water they can shut it off just like they have censored us in the internet with jot form and everything else like that don't sell out but let just let's just listen to this now before we start here i gotta object to something and that's these guys being portrayed as vultures because this does an incredible disservice to how awesome vultures are for being able to clean up and disinfect the environment You would know that, okay? Like a man who hasn't had a vulture vomit in his general direction. Okay, let's listen to this. And so everybody's on the same page with information. Wall Street is stealing your water. The next war won't be fought for oil. It is being fought right now for the water in your tap. And Wall Street is leading the charge. Hedge fund vultures like Kyle Bass are swooping down on Texas, buying up land to drain billions of gallons of precious groundwater from aquifers. They call it investment. The locals call it theft. It is a terrifying water grab driven by antiquated laws that allow landowners to pump unlimited amounts, even if it dries up their neighbors' wells. Farmers and ranchers are watching their livelihoods evaporate while investors brag about making a fortune from the crisis. They are betting on drought, betting on scarcity, and betting against your survival. This is disaster capitalism at its finest. While families fear being forced off their land, Private equity firms are hoarding resources to sell back to desperate cities. The water wars have begun, and if we don't stop these corporate parasites now, the only thing flowing from your faucet will be profit for the elite. If you shut off water, you shut off farmers' ability to grow crops, and that's what they're trying to do. They control everything when they control the water. Well, New Jersey and some other areas, I know specifically New Jersey has those areas where they stop people from being able to collect water, rainwater. You know what? This is like one of those things that we all need to be doing active defiance. And every single one of us stand and start collecting water. collecting water and say, screw all of you. We're going to do this. You cannot deprive us of water. If everybody stood up and protested this, get a fricking rain barrel and start collecting this just as an act of defiance. Well, and it's amazing because when you go back in our history, we as a country had Elodio titles to our land at the founding of our nation. Elodio titles are titles from the king. Now they converted those. And this is where it's important to learn our history and our status and our standing because they converted those and they took six inches of soil and they made those warranty deeds. So they, they no longer trade true property. And that way they can control what is below that six inches in a separate jurisdiction. And again, it's learning the law. We, the people control, We can simply tell our government that's unacceptable. You know what? You did that by not telling us the truth, by entering into these contracts where you converted these land titles into these crazy warranty deeds, titles that you... we're supposed to the maxim say own everything below and above our properties and we do by right by god's right not by man's so i don't care what man did and what they think they did in order to separate these jurisdictions out and change the law i mean they've they've truly changed the law of we the people and our right to own property And we need to take that right back. And it's like Ralph said earlier, if you don't know your rights, they will be taken from you. And our founding father said, we're giving you a republic if you can keep it. That's a Benjamin Franklin quote. We can keep it real simply by standing on these rights. So I want to give you guys the group that we're all, I guess we're part of it kind of right now because we're doing notices and affidavits. And so wethepeoplenotices.org. And I would encourage everyone to go there. There are resources there. There are videos there. And there are active notices that you can become a part of. I believe that since JotForm decided to violate everybody's rights, screw you JotForm, we'll find a different way to do it if we have to program it ourselves. And did it before. Can do it again, guys. Keep it up. And you're going to completely lose control of this. Because guess what? We actually know how to do this. Fantastic. Just keep bringing the fight. You're just sharpening our weapons of war here. So at any rate, here are some active notices. And even if the JotForm link does not work for you, go read them. And it's a great starting point, if you don't know, to just go read the notices. It's part of education. And know exactly kind of what's going on. And get your feet wet. You know, you don't have to just jump in the deep end of the pool, right? Just start the process day by day. You know, it's sort of like learning a language, okay? If you want to learn a language, you don't just jump in and are fluent within one day. you you start out hola or you know uh anything like that you know it's just like it's like you just gotta keep going so anyhow i'm gonna enjoy enjoy watching people's progress on this but i'd love to see do you guys keep statistics or analytics on your site um I don't. We're just beginning to start to do that so that we keep the the information. I mean, obviously, we're a volunteer organization, so we are growing. But we can help you with that. So at any rate, the point being here is that is that you guys know I own a little tech company. So we're pretty pretty good at this sort of thing. But the point being is that I would love to see you guys exponentially having an increase of traffic to this. So give me a Christmas present out there, guys, and go to the site and up the traffic to their site so that they can – that we can educate each other and do this together because there is an amazing amount of strength when we all stand together. This is a great thing to get educated on because even if you decide not to do notices, you're going to understand the process and how the process is supposed to work. And we're going to need that going into the next phase of what the United States looks like. As we restore this nation, we have to make a break with the current satanic system. And we've got to go back to what was one nation under God. And regarding Jotform, it brings to mind a quote from Princess Leia in Star Wars. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. Oh, you've got to say it right now. You've got to say, slip through your fingers. All right. You know what? Okay. We're going to find that a minute. Regarding any of the censorship stuff, regarding any of the VPN bans, you know, that's a great quote. Yeah. Hang on a minute. I'm going to do this. You know what? As smart as you are, you can't do anything. That's not a gift. That is not one of my gifts. I respect that. I think that's actually a good thing too. We'll leave that to Princess Leia. Here we go. Somehow I can't seem to do a very good impression of her voice. I made a Star Wars meme with her. where she was giving the information to R-II-D-II in the first movie. I made a few Star Wars memes. Karen's a great meme maker. That's an amazing talent she has. OK, hang on a minute. Let's see if I can. My energy bill dropped. Oh, come on. It went to something else. Go away. Go away. You never know what you're going to get on a Brandenburg News Network show. Okay, I got to figure out how to get myself out of this now. Learn all kinds of things. Be entertained in all kinds of ways. Okay, hang on a minute. I got to go back because it went to the next video because it's like a six-second clip. Okay, hang on. Let me see if I can do this. All right, hold on. I have some skills, not all skills, but I have some. All right, here we go, guys. Ready? Oh, now we don't have sound. Fantastic. I have no skills, guys. Sorry. It's all over. Different browser maybe. And have Ralph say the line while she speaks. Yeah. Well, it went to something kind of cool though. Look at what came next. Nice little wallpaper savers for your computer. I didn't even know that was a thing. Oh, that's very cool. Yeah. All right. So I'm going to different browser. Nice little bread and circuses for the people looking up that quote. That's right. They're going to move you around to something else. Let's put it into another one. Hold on one minute. If there's a will, there's a way. Daily Roman Empire reference. Oh, for gosh sakes. You didn't go there. You did not go there, did you? Just had to. totally broken um just a minute i'll get there this is i really loved how that became such a meme to ask guys how often they think of the roman empire and how shocked people were okay well we've got a liberty mutual uh ad right now see if we get past that all right might have to play it hang on oh whoa whoa whoa we got it okay I was really proud of President Trump, by the way, talking about talking off the cuff and ignoring the script writers. Okay, let's see if this works. What the heck? All right, this totally sucks. All right, y'all know what it is. All right, I'm giving up. I concede right there. I think you're being censored. Yeah, I am too. Look at what it goes to next. Now we've got another screensaver type thing. All right, so this is full on can't listen to Princess Leia. So there you go. Put it out there on Telegram and people can open it up and look. You guys have skills. You can do this. I have faith in you. Everybody's already seen it before anyway, unless you've been living under a rock. Even me who doesn't watch TV. Anyhow, well, I guess let's go ahead and go to prayers. Anybody want to pray or do you want me to pray? We like you praying. You're being voluntold. Okay, don't all jump. Greg just voluntold me. Okay. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so very, very much. You're such a wonderful group of people that we can get together and celebrate life, celebrate your creation, celebrate a lawful governance, and that you're walking us through this. This is like literally being walked out of Egypt here. into into the unknown and all we got to do is just follow you and what's really amazing is that you pretty much shine a pretty bright light if we're paying attention for us to follow so i'm thankful for that i ask that your light becomes stronger clearer and more defined for every single person out there so that we can literally we we just we just follow that light follow you and the information that you're giving us because you will talk to us and i thank you for that i thank you so much please help us to focus on it focus on your voice you're leading in your direction and i you know what i'm also thank you for every single gift that everybody out there has it is incredible The amount of talent, wisdom, honor, resilience, and just knowledge that everybody has. I'm thankful for the talents you've given Greg. His no-back-down attitude and sticking to a very defined mindset. process to have redress of grievances, as well as knowing the law and understanding the principles that this nation was built on. I'm thankful for Ralph and all the incredible gifts that you've given him. I can't even list the amount of gifts that you've given Ralph. And I'm thankful for every single one of them also very much a strong servant's heart to take care of your world. And I'm so thankful. I'm thankful for Karen and the gifts that you've given her in the ability to distill information to the core of the knowledge and cut through all of the nonsense and get to exactly what's been said, as well as the core of what needs to be done. I'm just speechless that you've given me such excellent people to walk through life with and the skill sets that you bring together to complete the tasks that you put ahead of us. It is really an honor to know such excellent people. And I thank you for every single person in Greg's group out there that go ahead and they keep working forward, unnamed, without credit or anything like that. They just get in there and hammer things out and continue to go forward with the work that they've embarked on and as well as all the other people out there that are doing the same thing. The unsung heroes that just hammer it out every day, not looking for credit, not looking for money, not looking for anything except for wanting your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. and defending those without a voice. What a great time to be alive. Thank you for placing all of us here. Let us be your light in the world. We love you so very much. Let everyone know that there's nothing that you cannot redeem. No one has passed redemption. If they turn to you, you will, as you did when you were born into this earth, into very humble beginnings in a stable, which was actually a cave on not this glorious, glamorous place. You as king and creator of the entire universe lowered yourself to be born into humble beginnings and not the clean beginnings, but the humble beginnings. And you do it every day when you step into our hearts and walk us through life. We're not perfect. We're sinners and we don't do things right. And you love us anyway. I love to look at it this way, God, is that we're like a bunch of puppies. You love us because you think we're cute and you just enjoy us and you adore us, but we're still out there, you know, going to the bathroom on the floor. And I can't believe that you look at us and say, all right, guys, let's try this again. And we're going to get it right next time in your training of us. And thank you for putting us into your bootcamp to increase our our knowledge of what's right to give us a chance to exercise and learn to be more like you. What a wonderful father you are to us. I love you so much. We love you. We adore you. And we thank you and come to you with a heart filled with awe and gratitude for everything. Thank you. Thank you for everything. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. So there you go. Any last words, guys? Thank you. No, I just want to reiterate thanking we the people because they have done an amazing job. They do it every day. They do it twice a day. Incredible leadership and talent. And let's keep growing the site and let's keep taking our rights back and standing on our proper jurisdiction. And that is under God. Yeah, you all in that group, you made the Brandenburg cut, which is usually very difficult to get. It took us a little while, but we earned it. The Brandenburg seal of accidents. Boom, you got it. So go ahead, Karen. Thank you so much, Donna. Well, another phrase that I say a lot lately and think about a lot lately is iron sharpens iron. And there's a lot of that going through that group. We call them a group. They are just an assembly. They're just an assembly of people. Anybody can participate. And there's, you know, Greg and I were talking about this the other day. There are people like this everywhere, all over the country. And a lot of them don't know about other ones going on in their area. But if you're trying to do something in this realm, in this political arena, trying to learn proper history and repeat that in the proper godly way, there is someone near you who is also trying to do that in some degree. And the more we talk about it, the easier it will be to get together and help each other and iron sharpens iron. And from participating with that assembly myself a little bit, I can tell you that there are people there who are sharpening each other and their knowledge. And comprehension of all of these things. And it's, it's wonderful to have those resources so that when you are in a position like Donna is there's a lot of people that have a lot of issues around the country. Some of them are just begging for help, but they want to do it the right way. And the more you learn, the more you can help other people. It's a really interesting and compounding thing to see and beautiful to see our country going back to those founding principles one man or woman at a time. Well said. I'm not a big fan of the movie A Bug's Life because I don't like the dishonesty of the main characters, but it has some great lessons about when all of the ants stand up together, we can actually take back the freedom that we're supposed to have. And we all need to be exercising and protecting the rights that we are legally entitled to so that they do not become infringed. To your point with Bugs Life, my least favorite movie I've ever seen is that one with the little fish in it, Nemo. I hate that movie, and I'll tell you why. The entire movie, as I'm watching this, is about kids being little mouthy smart alecks and looking at their parents as stupid people, and then once they screw up their lives so bad, the parents step in, and see, parents, you knew your kids were right, but the kid screwed his life up. It's flipping off parents. Anyhow, Sorry, got a tangent there, but Bug's Life has got some issues too. So anyhow, I want you guys to think about where we are right now. What's that? He said, it's a trap. It's a trap. Yeah, it's a trap. So where we are right now, Jesus was, you know, teaching his disciples at Caesarea Philippi. And he was looking over a gorge into a hole, basically into the wall, rock wall opposing them. And what he said gets misquoted a lot of times, but there were four cults that were doing sacrifices and doing horrible things on these altars in front of what they deemed was hell itself, okay? And they basically, it was the gates of hell. They believed that that was the gate into underground hell, okay? They also believe that walking on water, that they were literally walking over hell. They were terrified of deep water. So when Jesus walked on the water, he was literally saying, Satan, you got no ground here. You are a nothing and walked right over hell itself. When he was in front of that cavern at Caesarea Philippi watching the goat cult and the other sex cults and bail where they were burning babies alive, he was looking at this. They were looking at this. And what he said is something everyone should burn into your memory and into your heart. The gates of hell shall not prevail against you. Run right into it and look it in the face. Satan is a little miserable puke who has no jurisdiction unless we see to it. And so there's nothing you need to be afraid of. No fear. This is the zero fear zone because God rules and we need to proclaim it every single day and be the solution to walking forward in these situations. We're never going to have a perfect world until Jesus Christ steps back on this earth. And so. We're here. We're learning. We're in boot camp. We're going to address problems and we are literally going to eradicate them as we see them one at a time. But we will not be living in heaven here. It's when Jesus comes back. So take the obstacle course at hand and run it in your best race ever. And don't ever stop and do not be afraid and lean on God and you win. It's amazing. Okay. So it doesn't mean you're going to win every battle, but you're winning just by standing up. And so there you go. So with that said, guys, we're going to go to that part of the show. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to BrandonBurfordGovernor.com because I'm the best Nike seeder. I'm the best Nike seeder in the history of the United States of America. And I'd love to have a discussion with the right-wing president of the United States, President Donald Trump. Cowboy boots, I wear them better because I wear them every day. We'll have a discussion about how to really buy cowboy boots. And then we're going to fix stuff, right? And I want to thank President Trump, General Flynn, Admiral Rogers, and all the unsung heroes that I know are working with them for the bravery in the face of the naysayers, complainers, and nonsense out there who have no faith and are not watching who is really running the show. And that's God Almighty. and he is good all the time. So seeing things and not taking them at face value is a skill set everybody should desire. and analyze things, not listening to what comes in front of you, but focus on God and you will see exactly what's happening. And so I want to say thank you to every single person out there. It's amazing. And I won't be on tomorrow because the court system decided so graciously to postpone my hearing until Friday. Again, the pre-trial, it's a little pre-trial hearing. Guess what? It's great. I am literally trial ready right now. And so they have decided in their worst possible way to determine that this was an in-person appearance. Okay, fantastic. I can do a better job of chewing tail in person than I can ever do online. So they just decided their point of pain and brought it upon themselves. And I don't feel sorry for them right now, right? So this is going to be real interesting. And so I'm going to be doing some more trial prep because I have kind of an eidetic memory. So I can, once I get it in my head, it's like I can... It's going to be a fun day Friday. That's all I can say. And so fantastic. And so anyhow, you guys, I'm going to say it. God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America. Make it a great day. Be following Greg's footsteps. Be that Eagle Scout. Follow Jesus' footsteps. You know, do the right thing. And Karen and Ralph and everybody that you know that's a good person. And I will be back to be talking to you all. next week. And so we'll probably be on Monday morning and talk about it a little bit Monday morning. I might just jump on to give you a report on Friday after the lawful pummeling that's about to happen. And it's going to go one way or the other, but we're going to win this thing. It's going to be amazing. So have a great weekend and love to y'all. Bye everyone.
