On January 26, 2016, a relatively unknown American cowboy by the name of LaVoy Finicum was gunned down as he signaled he was no threat to the FBI agents who pulled the triggers of their weapons. Today, although many American citizens still do not comprehend the threat Finicum posed to the government of Oregon that caused the FBI to shoot an unarmed man in cold blood, other savvy citizens are starting to connect the dots. This single event is not an isolated tragedy in the greater scheme of events that have been happening in this nation since Barack Hussein Obama promised to fundamentally transform America.
In retrospect, serious warning signs about the threats to individual freedoms were quite evident when Finicum was gunned down in early 2016. Many educated people might have assumed that such intolerance for citizens demanding their rights died out with the Civil Rights Movement. That would be a mistake. The targeting and sanctioned murder of LaVoy Finicum in broad daylight shocked those at the epicenter of this event; they were stunned and numb in the wake of it. It was truly hard to digest that a top U.S. law enforcement agency could brutally execute a private citizen. Yet, citizen intelligence being reported at the time, through Canada Free Press and other free media outlets, was that Governor Kate Brown had been putting pressure on Comey’s FBI to put an end to the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge that had been seized and occupied by local militia leaders.
True Americans have been able to connect many dots since that cold winter in Oregon in 2016. By the way, James Comey was the Director of the F.B.I. when Finicum was set up in a “routine traffic stop” that sent a reverberating message to America -- once the murder was eventually exposed. There was an initial media blackout, so it took some time to realize what had happened. Another by the way: it was the same Kate Brown, as Governor of Oregon, who was so extremely tolerant of the Marxists rioting and trashing private businesses in downtown Portland this past year. And, it was the same James Comey who assisted in conspiring to take out an even bigger target: the man who was duly elected POTUS by American citizens in that same year.
Early in 2016, only after the truth came out, did the killing of Finicum have a more widespread effect upon citizens. However, he was just some old white guy that the media never made into a martyr like Trayvon Martin, or Michael Brown, or George Floyd. Yet, in the greater scheme of current events, this battle over a militia occupying public property has now been repeated over and over -- not by conservative militants but by Leftist organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter militants. These domestic terrorists have occupied areas on public properties and have routinely trashed and totally destroyed private property. Yet, what outcry ever came from the Democrat- controlled states like Oregon? Yet, in 2016, the FBI executed a private citizen for attempting to stand up for his God-given rights, supposedly imagined to be guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.
Obviously, people who actually still care enough to stand up for their rights in legitimate ways to redress oppressive actions by their own government have not been wrong for doing so; it has been happening since the inception of the nation. A founding document called the Constitution of the United States assured citizens of their God-given rights of free speech, free expression by public means, and free assembly. Yet in 2021, it no longer exists for all practical purposes. It technically exists; but, when it is routinely ignored these days by elected “leaders” (especially in the theft of a national election), the freedoms it guaranteed, are currently at the discretion of those who occupy the seats of power.
Four years after Finicum’s murder, those in seats of power have orchestrated the political assasination of Donald Trump
Four years after Finicum’s murder, those in seats of power have orchestrated the political assasination of Donald Trump. This one man took it upon himself to embolden “We the People,” to drain the swamp, and help take their country back. A major thrust of Donald Trump’s efforts to “Make America Great Again” was to return the nation to the people, to help them regain their rightful sovereignty - a sovereignty many people in this time have forgotten. LaVoy Finicum would have understood such a quest. Trump’s fight for “We the People” was genuine, despite a Pravada-type, poisonous propaganda spewing forth from corporate perpetrators of oppression and suppression of the common people.
With “2020 hidsight” now, the murder of Finicum in 2016 was more clearly a “shot heard round the nation.” It was a shot that awakened the American citizens willing to tune in to the free media, and to ignore “state-run” media as Rush Limbaugh describes the MSM. Currently, that “state-run” media is featuring any servile GOP leaders and the stooges willing to marginalize President Trump. Of course, the never-ending perpetuation of poisonous propaganda is the brainwashing method to mentally manipulate soft-minded people to dare not question the fake news as being the truth. Patriots today question the very reality they witnessed. Orwell’s “Newspeak” is upon us, only we are not yet forced to take the minimum daily requirement of the poison. Orwell’s 1984 is frighteningly real. The novel ends with the “hero,” Winston, struggling with his “false” memories -- good memories from his childhood, but Winston “pushed the picture out of his mind. It was a false memory. He was troubled by false memories occasionally.” He falls into a dream where he dreams of taking a welcomed bullet in the back of his head.
The brainwashing of America has begun, it is not clear for how long, perhaps decades it has proceeded; but, it is now a constant monotonous mantra, and those who choose to
use their freedom to become “trained” to only believe the prescribed Party propaganda that does not contradict the One Party’s objectives, will not have too much trouble in Biden’s “Dark Winter.” Citizens who choose to become “trained” can witness the re-packaging of reality in the “witnesses” who reveal they dared to believe Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged. GOP leaders are also now being trotted out to marginalize him and separate him from the people, to distance themselves from this terrible, deplorable Trump and his allies like Giuliani and Ellis, and Powell. They broke Powell’s connection quickly when she dared to question the GOP governor of Georgia. But, the deplorables who stand strong for their God-given rights will be selectively marginalized in Alinsky-esque fashion.

Will genuine justice continue to elude America?
With absolute certainty, this is the time of which Ronald Reagan prophesied:
We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it’s been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well, I think it’s time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
Actually, our enemy climbed out of the Swamp, and are pretending they are genuine Americans. Citizens’ critical question at this point is: How long will true Americans, who love this country, permit the illusion of justice to prevail and the pretense that endless repetition of “good-ole boy politics as usual” will yield different results? Einstein would define it as insanity. Will genuine justice continue to elude America?
