“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
—Steve Jobs
The premise of American Renewal is that our traditional American Republic is in the last stages of a successful assault by hard leftist forces antithetical to all of her tenets—her religious base, her constitutional guarantees of personal freedom, and her application of just law—and that without a concerted new direction forged by patriotic traditional Americans, our way of life and personal safety will be taken from us. The left has gained control of the majority of media, our education system, and a significant portion of the voting apparatus, rendering our attempt to re-secure our country through purely political means highly unlikely, forcing us into a new direction to renew our land.
American conservatives are trapped in conservatism 1.0, believing that by becoming more politically active or becoming more educated about the ways of the left, we can still prevail with these methods. They are clinging to the false hope that the next election will not be stolen through fraud, as if this isn’t a successful and permanent technique of the left and big tech to illegitimately capture our democratic republic—one that is now impossible to reverse through democratic means. They still feel that by pushing new conservative media platforms the developed cultural and political hegemony of the left can be broken. This is a fool’s gamble. The left has gained an unassailable subversive advantage in media, education, and culture that is only picking up momentum. These institutions are inhabited with committed leftists determined to break down our traditional culture and polity. Our republic cannot now be saved without a rapid abandonment of conservatism 1.0 and a fast transition to conservatism 2.0, including taking positions and actions that are steadfast and difficult—but which now are our only means of national salvation.
“All truth passes through three stages; first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as being self evident.”
—Arthur Schoepenhauer
Traditional conservatives trapped in the normalcy bias of conservatism 1.0 are already reacting with ridicule to American Renewal’s premises and proposed courses of action, as of course are leftists of all stripes. Conservatives are reacting harshly out of their fear and their refusal to turn the historical page in reaction to the evolving national landscape, clinging instead to methods that have been rendered outdated and moot. Leftists are reacting with vitriol because they are all too aware that the only thing that can stop their advance to their final totalitarian victory will be our armed resistance, which they recognize and fear, as it is our surest method of effective national renewal. They understand the root of our overwhelming strength, and seek to keep us from unlocking it in our national defense by subjecting us to subverted courts, turning the weaponized branches of government against us, and publicly branding us as terrorists.
The Declaration of Independence set the moral and philosophical basis for the armed revolt of the American colonists against the British behemoth.
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
The armed cohort of traditional patriotic Americans is so vast that it constitutes by far the largest army on the face of the earth. Consisting of every day gun owners, former military members, former law enforcement officers, former special forces operators, militia members, and members of patriotic American organizations, this force is frustrated, fragmented, and unorganized, yet serves as a potentially powerful bulwark against the complete downfall of the American Republic and the tyranny that is rising should it coalesce into a united front. This band of brothers, holding well over 20 million semiautomatic rifles and billions of rounds of ammunition, dwarfs our enemies within and without, and should it be organized and managed effectively, there is no limit to the good it can accomplish as a successful countervail to the subversive governmental tyranny rapidly rising in America. American Renewal is an organization committed to setting the philosophical and organizational basis for awakening this sleeping giant among us, setting it to work where needed in defense against the enemies of our way of life within government and society—forcing a hard reset of our current American experience—and bravely leading America back to being the country she was founded to be. Our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in establishing this great republic. They risked potential impoverishment, capture, imprisonment, and death. We must now match and surpass their risks and commitments in the salvation of what they first established, and that then has become the greatest country in the history of the world. America must not fall on our watch! Should she fall, history will write of you and me as those fearful, lazy, arrogant fools—the historically accursed last Americans who let the greatest country in the history of the world fall while we sat by and refused to effectively act. I urge you to join me in this effort—to take your place as a hero in the history soon to be written of the salvation of America. Read the article Mutual Assistance Groups under The Way Home.
