Break Free: The Amish Secret to Defeating Technocratic Slavery

Yeah, we would all like to see government reduced.
As I've said before, what made America great?
You want to make America great again?
What made it great?
Well, Trump's answer is it was tariffs in the 1800s.
No, tariffs did not make America great.
It was getting the government off of our back.
It was liberty and freedom.
Freedom from regulation.
Freedom from an intrusive, all-intrusive government.
Inserting itself into every aspect of our life.
Freedom from confiscatory tax rates.
And instead, what does it give us?
Another tax.
So we need our medicines.
We need our semiconductors.
We need our electronics to be built in America.
Let me just pull back while we're talking about this and think about this for a second.
You know, we can talk about the economics of free trade and all the rest of this stuff, but I want to take a different angle.
Think about it from an individual standpoint.
You know, one of the things that the Amish did was they froze their lifestyle in that 1800s style.
They froze it there because they said, we don't want to be dependent on people on the outside.
I mean, they really went self-sufficient.
Now, if you want your semiconductors and your electronics and your pharmaceutical poisons, well, then you are going to have to embrace This kind of society that they have set up.
On the other hand, if you want a simpler lifestyle, you as an individual need to start thinking about how you're going to essentially enact your own tariff barriers.
And it's not a tariff barrier, but the Amish didn't say, well, we're going to make it impossible for products to come in.
No, instead, what they said was, we want to just focus on what we can do ourselves.
Now, they're not making semiconductors and flat panel screens, but they make what they need to have a comfortable living, and they have independence, and they have a greater degree of liberty.
And maybe that's the way we ought to start thinking about this.
Maybe you ought to start thinking about how this complicated technocracy that they're setting up.
Maybe we don't need their flat panels and their semiconductors and their electronics.
Certainly not to the extent we've got it.
And if we think that we absolutely must have those things, folks, they've got us.
They've got us on an individual level.
If we can't live without an iPhone, then we're done.
Stick a fork in it.
We're done on an individual level.
And so I think we need to think about that type of thing.
Do we really, you know, when we look at TikTok, when we look at 5G, when we look at these other things.
What about your security?
What about your independence or your dependency on these things?
And so when you're looking at what you can do to make a living, when you're looking at how you can start to support yourself, it's going to be that kind of a choice.
You're going to have to make a choice, not necessarily between factories in America so that you can have a job, or factories in China so that you can get cheap goods, because these factories that are going to be reshored, These people are going to be using robots.
They're not going to be using you.
This is a system that is designed to isolate you from other humans.
And it is designed to enslave you and to monitor you like Big Brother.
Do you really want that?
For the little conveniences of, you know, flashing lights and all the rest of this stuff?
I mean, there's a lot of technology that we could freeze at.
You know, just like the Amish froze at things that, you know, they picked a point in time.
It isn't necessary to go back to the 19th century.
There are analog things, and Eric Peters talks about that all the time when you look at cars.
You know, focus on cars that are basically analog, not heavily digital, because you don't want those computer chips in your car to the extent that you can get rid of that stuff.
Look for something that is simple, something that you can fix yourself.
You can still have a car, but you can be independent of it.
And some of that independence can possibly come from your ability to 3D print parts that you might need so that you're not dependent on other people.
And there's a lot of different ways that you can cut this.
I'm not telling you, well, we've got to go full Luddite or full Amish.
I'm just saying if you look at the basic principles that are there, at some point in your life, you need to make a decision as to how you're going to start trying to cut off these dependencies that they're rapidly building up as they build up these IDs to track and trace every single thing that you do.
And so Lutnik says we can't be beholden and rely upon foreign countries for fundamental things that we need.
And I would broaden this out.
And say we can't be beholden and relying on Washington or the Silicon Valley technocrats for the fundamental things that we need.
Yeah, sure, we can get some things here and there, but for the fundamental stuff, you better start looking at how you can provide this yourself or in community with other people.
Don't make yourself dependent on Washington and the Silicon Valley technocrats because they want to enslave you.
That's what I'm saying.
So, when you start thinking about trade, stop thinking about it in the grand scheme of things and start thinking about it at the local level with all this.

The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
