Brian Shilhavy: You have a choice...

this week is going to be very interesting as "mandates" are coming to a head.

What will you do?

I copied and pasted Brian's entire article without first seeking permission. However, an email request has been sent to him, and from my research, I've determined he is likely more interested in "spreading information" over personal kudos.  Do visit his site and book mark it.

America: Land of the Slaves and Home of the Cowards – The Entitlement Majority Call Themselves “Victims”

Francis Scott Key penned the words to the song “The Star-Spangled Banner” in the 1800s that would go on to become the “National Anthem” of the United States, and it ends with the words:

The land of the free, and the home of the brave.

I am not sure these words have ever been a true description of life in the United States, but today, here in 2021, those words should read:

The land of the slaves, and the home of the cowards.

I never thought I would live to see the day where most Americans would willingly choose slavery over freedom, and then when their choices did not work out the way they thought, rather than own up to their mistake in making the wrong choice, blame the “opposition” party in government instead, all the while raising their voices to claim “I’m a victim!” believing that somehow they are entitled to certain things from their slave masters.

But that characterizes the United States of America today.

For example, a couple of weeks ago several readers brought to my attention the tragic story of a young mother who took one of the COVID shots and then ended up dying, leaving her small children behind.

It was a tragic, but typical story of the kind we have covered hundreds of times now since the COVID-19 shots were given emergency use authorization back in December of 2020.

But the reason this story gained so much traction and actually made it even into some corporate news sites, is because the obituary was written in such a way to completely blame the COVID-19 shot, and to politicize what happened.

Here is what was written in the obituary of this young mother who was in her 30s:

[The mother’s] greatest passion was to be the best mother possible for [her two children.] Nothing would stand in her way to be present in their lives.

During the last weeks of her life, however, the world turned dark with heavy-handed vaccine mandates. Local and state governments were determined to strip away her right to consult her wisdom and enjoy her freedom.

She had been vehemently opposed to taking the vaccine, knowing she was in good health and of a young age and thus not at risk for serious illness. In her mind, the known and unknown risks of the unproven vaccine were more of a threat.

But, slowly, day by day, her freedom to choose was stripped away. Her passion to be actively involved in her children’s education—which included being a Room Mom—was, once again, blocked by government mandate.

Ultimately, those who closed doors and separated mothers from their children prevailed. It cost [this mom] her life.

I do not mean to be disrespectful at all to this family’s tragic loss, and there are certainly enough criminals to be tried and executed for these horrible crimes in allowing these shots to be made available to the public.

But the government did not cost this woman her life.

The text here makes it very clear that this woman knew the risks, knew that she did not need this shot, but chose to get it anyway, because she wanted to keep using the educational system to educate her children.

THAT choice cost her her life, and now her family is suffering as a result of that choice.

Did she have other choices that she could have made to prevent this from happening?

Yes, she did. She could have pulled her children out of the Satanic school system mandating these shots, and made the choice not to participate.

It may have been the more difficult choice, it may have caused her to be ostracized and criticized by those around her, including maybe some of her own family members. It may have caused her a lot of problems and inconveniences to walk away from the world system that provides education, medical care, and many other “benefits.” It may have even completely changed her life, and left her in poverty.

But ultimately it was her choice, and she rolled the dice and LOST, because she valued the lifestyle that her slave masters were offering her more than refusing the shot.

You ALWAYS have a choice!

Even if things get worse and the military or law enforcement begins going door to door by gun point to force people to get these shots, you still would have a choice: You would have the choice to die free, or live as a slave.

But as we can see with this tragic story, and many thousands of others like her, people are choosing to live as slaves by complying, and then many of them end up dying anyway.

Brian Shilhavy continues his post with True Freedom Comes at a Cost – It is not Free (scroll down to read - it's excellent and mirrors so many of my own thoughts)

And today he posted Are You Prepared to NOT Die This Winter? Time to Pay Attention to the “Preppers” if You Want to Survive  Post includes a 17 minute very important video by a "prepper."  Are terrible things going to happen to the supply chain? Maybe, maybe not. My advice is to quit worrying about Christmas gifts for your little kids and think about staying warm or having food to eat. Honestly, a 4 yo doesn't know the difference  between 3 gifts or 30 gifts. The final advice in the video may be the most important. 

I have not noticed any appreciable shortages around here, but I have witnessed the sometimes massive increases of prices in the grocery store and the gas pumps. With people facing the loss of their jobs, it can be very scary, but with the right attitude you will survive and even flourish.  

And to back up the final words of the "prepper" video, check out what this fine young man has to say. All Christian men should be doing what these fine young men are doing. 

From Bannedvideo: 

When a group of young men at Christendom College in Front Royal, Va all agreed that a serious crisis of masculinity is plaguing the culture, they decided to do something about it. LifeSiteNews Correspondent Jim Hale introduces us to one of those young men, who is also the newest member of the LifeSiteNews TV crew.
