Both columns courtesy email notice of James Fetzer replication
1) Via Dr. Naomi Wolf [Her substack original is here.]

Editor’s Note: Normally I provide an excerpt of a column when it’s written by someone else, as a courtesy and by right. Please do go to Dr. Wolf’s substack original to read this important column of hers. However since the situation is so urgent and dire—Justin Trudeau via the Emergencies Act declared Canada to be a full COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP on our northern border, and the US’s political party in power shows every sign of imminently following suit to implement martial law and end our Constitution—I’m going to copy and paste her whole commentary, along with notes of my own.

2) Via John Kaminski [Original column here.]

Further, in a two-for-one gesture I’m going to post an equally timely and critical column long excerpt from John Kaminski—whom I just discovered via notification from the latest www.JamesFetzer.org site—about the situation in Ukraine. Your government and its media is lying about that one, too, even more so. Please, also, support Mr. Kaminski’s wholly independent voice and read the column he has posted there.

1) The Fall of Canada, Dr. Naomi Wolf
And the danger in the US… understanding martial law
Original column

The world has watched, in pain, as images of police violence from Ottawa, and of a bid for Canadian tyranny (that I would ever write those words!) are flashed around the world.

As usual, I hate to be Cassandra; but the chessboard ahead is all too clear. On Feb 12, 2022, I warned, during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom, that we all must all now brace for a period during which the powers that now clearly seek to enslave our planet, and subdue our human species, will be broadcasting scenes of civil society mayhem, and of shocking violence against protesters.

I also predicted that there would be food shortages and other economic harms that would be blamed on the protesting truckers, and I warned too that people should print out their bank and any liquid asset records, as there would be cyberattacks on financial institutions and the freezing of accounts. All of that, of course, took place in the week that followed.

I recently received a kind note on social media thanking me for my bulletins about the near future as it helped people, the writer explained, to stave off shock and disorientation. I have often spoken about how tyrants rely on just these effects of shock and disorientation to “tenderize” a targeted population, so I will keep alerting you all to the near future, as unpleasant as that task can be.

Brian’s Column: American First Principles Day, August 2

Setting up the Holiday and Invoking Our First Principles for the Common Good
By Brian R. Wright

Recently, while in attendance at the Oakland County, Michigan, meeting of Campaign for Liberty (C4L), master of ceremonies, Dennis Marburger, stated that the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence occurred on August 2, 1776. I had forgotten this little acknowledged fact, but truly this is a significant day. Because this is when those in the assembly actually put their ‘lives, fortunes, and sacred honor’ on the line. Perhaps more important to ‘the course of human events’ than political independence from England is the Declaration’s famous statement of what have become known as American First Principles—and, further, the foremost universal statement of INDIVIDUAL rights:[1]

  1. Equality before the law
  2. Natural rights of the individual
  3. Government’s sole purpose to secure these natural rights
  4. Government’s powers deriving from the People
  5. People’s direct authority to monitor and control government, even dissolve it

AKA American First Principles. These are the foundation of all valid laws for ‘our people’ … and by extension any other peoples willing to assert such inherent natural rights. [For ‘rights’ one may read ‘fundamental freedoms.’ I’m not going to quibble over terms. Like Ayn Rand, I’ll stipulate that a right is the moral claim of “freedom of action in a social context.”] The point is our individual rights—no matter who we are—are inviolable and we the people are in charge of all public servants whose job is solely to secure these rights. They screw up, we step in… it is a legal necessity and, indeed, we are morally and civically obliged to do so. Continue reading →
