Tioga County PA Commissioners Defy Voters, State Senate Over Audit

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

Bill Collier- Tiny, in population, Tioga County PA, where, coincidentally, The Freedomist is based, is at the center of efforts to audit Pennsylvania’s 2020 election results, which, it is alleged, are suspect. Every court so far has denied this, but it is still alleged an audit is needed.

The amazing thing about Roger Bunn, Mark Hamilton, and Erick Coolidge is that their county, the county where the Publisher of the Freedomist (myself) lives, 74.7% voted for Trump and one can gather well over 50% of all voters likely want an audit.

These three Commissioners are an interesting phenomenon where even the most conservative areas surrender their line offices to people who lack the vigor and passion of their own voters. What is more fascinating is that these usually cardboard cutouts for local officials who make no waves usually also lean in the opposite direction of their voters. But, because local politics are usually more about potholes than principles, they never show their true nature or beliefs.

So, while a County of over 40,000 may by as much as 74.7% demand an audit, the Republicans they elected to lead them, for so long and without any real challenge, have proven to not really be Republicans at all.

Having myself watched these men since the first time I came to the County in 2009, I am not even slightly surprised that these three all agreed to disagree with almost every single person who ever voted for them in order to avoid rocking the boat. They’re not bad guys, really, they just got elected by sleepy voters who didn’t vett the people who would lead their County, assuming that of they were Republicans that was good enough.

Again, let’s be clear, whatever one feels about their decision, they have their reasons no doubt, the issue is that we all keep letting people into office who don’t, when push comes to shove, reflect our beliefs and values and nor are they informed by them.

Introducing The Concept of “Nine Governments”

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

The concentration of power and authority coupled with decision-making processes not suited to specific needs and functions is leading many organizations and governments toward forms of centralized control that border on authoritarianism.

We introduce the concept of nine governments. Basically, we envision governance focused on specific areas of human action and interaction to promote human flourishing and to protect both human dignity and human rights. The present 20th century model of “one big system” (OBS) at the top of everything and everyone, is archaic and outmoded.

We have unique names for our “governments”, which give some substance to the concept, but you aren’t limited to our terms or to how we delineate corporate functions for bodies of people. The important thing is to get the concept.

The nine governments in our concept of a national regency of any people group include three primary governments; the Regium, Magisterium, and Ethnium.

The Regium is the unifying government that balances the other two, but is also accountable to both.

The Magisterium is more in accord with the Romans 13 concept of the magistrate and is limited to that role. It has three affiliated governments, however, like the balance between the Regium and the other two primary governments, it is balanced by its three governments: The Governate which is a civil government, the Civitas which is civic government, and the Agorate, which is an economic government.

The Ethnium is the government mostly associated with the Biblical concept of nationhood as a sociocultural and spiritual construct caring for the whole-person needs of individuals and maintaining a voluntary-based sociocultural standard. Its affiliate governments, which also balance itself, include the Ecclesium which is all Believers within a community or people group, the Societas which oversees social services, and the Comunis which provides the social safety net and mutual assurance through cooperation.

So we end up with a national regency, or any scale regency, consisting of some version of the Regium, Magisterium, Ethnium, Governate, Societas, Civitas, Agorate, Ecclesium, and Comunis.

Again, your breakdown may differ, as may your names. But the concept of nine governments means they balance each other, their decision-making processes fit their function, they engage all stakeholders and everyone their impact, and they work both for the good of each individual and the common good.

We also call this plurality of leadership, the idea of multiple mutually-accountable leaders who serve their constituencies as opposed to lording it over them, and with respect for human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

This will be presented in our new platform, Upadaria, and community governance, services and benefits, and governance will be guided by and reflect the nine governments concept. In general, if you have a community of people seeking to meet the whole person needs of individuals and the whole community, some version of governance functions related to these nine governments, by whatever name you call them, will be beneficial.

To this concept of nine governments we add the five leadership skills which must exist within each government. These include building (apostolic), guiding (pastoral), forthtelling (prophetic), proclaiming (evangelistic), and imparting (teaching).

When guided by Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law, as understood from a Biblical perspective and as practiced in balance with each other, such a governance approach will optimize all functions, allow for larger scale cooperation, and not tend to concentrate power in too few hands.

Missional Living Isn’t The Absence of Proclaiming Truth

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

The so-called “emergent church”, which has devolved to “progressive christianity”, has tended to embrace missional living. But it’s not what you think.

Pictured above- Freedomist Publisher and Upadaria First Founder Bill Collier, asks, “Are you living a missional life in serving the King (Yeshua) and His Kingdom or are you serving another gospel that isn’t rooted in historical Christian orthodoxy as found in the Bible?”

While real missional living that does justice to Biblical truth does include concrete things to serve others, especially people in need or crisis, it is not the absence of a simple and direct, and unapologetic, proclamation along the lines of, “repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” The emergent church tends to emphasize corporate redemption, like whole families, communities, and nations, albeit mostly through good works and, increasingly, some form of centralized state handouts of benefits.

Missional living from a Biblical standpoint is absolutely “holistic” in the sense of addressing the whole person in all their needs, living out the Gospel with your whole person and in all aspects of life, and, in ADDITION to seeking the conversion of individuals, seeking the conversion and redemption of whole bodies of people, including whole national peoples.

The key aspect of missional living is a balanced application of truth (as found in Scripture, science, logic, and historic orthodoxy) with experience (spiritual encounters, personal maturation, instinct, and being led by the spirit), to serve others, proclaim the Gospel, and see both individuals and bodies of people converted and redeemed by Yeshua

The stark de-emphasis by the emergent church’s “missional living” of truth and historic orthodoxy, replaced by radical deconstructionist ideas rooted in Marx, and the shift from redemption as in salvation from sin to collective “redemption” measured in purely material terms is alarming and it isn’t missional. One cannot be said to pursue missional living and yet not be on mission with Yeshua the Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom as it applies first and foremost to the conversion and redemption of individual human beings.

What we used to see done through physical missions, like the Alamo, is needed for us today to provide through our lives and in our homes and neighborhoods, even though the building of new missions facilities is also something that may be necessary.

In missional living we seek to proclaim the Gospel, comport ourselves ethically and morally so as to be a good example, demonstrate the effectiveness and power of the Gospel by walking in the Spirit to practice our faith, being an influence insofar as we are able through our positions and duties in society, and distributing the benefits of God’s blessings to His People for helping those in need and crisis as advocates and in providing aid and shelter.

We thereof have proclamation, exampleship, demonstration, influence, and distribution as the five core elements of missional living, with the provision that in all this we stay true to the Gospel, in accordance with God’s Word and historical Christian orthodoxy, and we keep Yeshua as the head and center of all we do.

Missional living is too much of a buzzword that is becoming watered down to something weak and pale, and, frankly, political and pro-authoritarian. It isn’t missional and it isn’t living, not as God intends living. But true missional living is to see yourself always as a missionary from the Lord to bless fellow Christians, your inner circle of friends and family, the lost, and your community, with attention to mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health in alignment with God’s standards of righteousness and justice rooted in grace, truth, and love.

Cuban-Americans Demand US Action, Democrats Exposed As Pro Communist

Bill Collier July 14, 2021

Cuban-American protestors shut down the Palmetto Expressway near Miami amid demands the US end comminism in Cuba shouting, “Estados Unidos, acaba el comunismo!”

The Cuban connunity in Florida numbers 1.53 million and plays a significant role in swaying elections at the state level, including presidential races. The community are generally unhappy with the tepid response from the current US President who is barely giving lip service to the Cuban protestors and who is doing nothing as the Cuban regime clamps down on dissent.

Despite Biden’s open-door policy for migrants to the US from Central America and Mexico, migrants known for supporting Democrats and socialism according to some, the New York Post reported his DHS has issued warnings to Cubans and Haitians not to come to the US.

According to The Post:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had a stern warning Tuesday for Cubans and Haitians thinking of escaping the ongoing unrest in both countries by sailing to the US: Don’t even think about it.

“The time is never right to attempt migration by sea,” Mayorkas said during a news conference. “To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. Allow me to be clear: If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States.”

In other words, “if your community isn’t reliably supportive of Democrats, you aren’t welcome in America.”

Famed chess champion Garry Kasparov, generally a supporter of Democrats and the current President, was not amused with the Administration’s response.

“Bad news for the Biden admin when I agree with Rubio & Cruz!” he posted on Twitter. “The people of Cuba deserve vocal support from a US government that isn’t worried about offending its Socialist members by speaking for freedom.”

The Democrats’ collective penchant toward totalitarianism, witness their overblown histrionics about the January 6th riots at the Capitol, which they use to label all legitimate dissent as sedition, is welle established. Their brand of woke communism through a cancel America crusade is still not waking Americans up to this quisling threat to their very national existence as a free country.

At the same time, Florida’s governor DeSantis is vocal in supporting the Cuban community but the recent law passed to make it a felony to shut down roadways and to not prosecute drivers who push through crowds rather than be surrounded and attacked, could be used against these protestors. No arrests were reported and no incidents took place. But the irony this kneejerk law in response to BLM riots may be used against a group favored by the governor wasn’t lost on anyone.

The Biden response to the Cuban protests exposes a bedeviling problem for Democrats in Florida and among Hispanics, who generally oppose actual forms of communism, including modern woke communism, and the divisive social issues/cancel culture extremism that controls that Party.

According to an opinion piece in the Hill, “Biden won Miami-Dade County by just 7 percent, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 30 percent margin in 2016, a decline that put Florida’s electoral votes well out of reach. Democrats also lost two House seats that they thought were safe. Trump won more than 60 percent of the Cuban American vote – the most since Bush in 2000.”

Biden’s current inaction on Cuba may be an admission that the Democrats have essentially given up on Florida for the foreseeable future. If Democrats don’t think this seals their brand as pro-communist, then someone needs to wake them from their wokeness and show them reality.

While it isn’t America’s job or responsibility to free the Cuban people, it is within our rights and interests to more robust support them and to demand the Cuban regime refrain from further abuses or face real action, including potentially arming the dissenters.

Is The Post Office Waging An Online War On The Right?

Bill Collier July 13, 2021

The political weaponization of every institution they can get their hands on is the playbook of the woke communist core who run the Democratic Party and it appears, according to this report in REASON, that the woke communists have captured the United States Post Office for their political ends.

The report details an ongoing use clones, fake people posing as real people, hacking, and facial recognition software to focus on “the right”, especially on platforms they might frequent to both monitor and disrupt their activities. Literally, if this report is true, the Post Office is acting as a paramilitary cadre to the Democratic Party to disrupt their political foes.

It seems a sensational claim and we would caution more evidence and investigation is required, certainly by Republicans who are the alleged target of this rogue effort, if indeed all this is accurate reporting.

If indeed it turns out the Post Office, a private entity chartered by the government, is acting as an agent of the Democratic Party to not only spy on Americans but to target and disrupt opponents of the Democratic Party, then this would be sedition and rebellion against these United States by virtue of the gross assault upon the Bill of Rights liberties that are being violated.

Reputationally, the Post Office, having allegedly aligned itself with only Democrats as their special institution, would lose massively and if or when Republicans gained power again serious efforts to dismantle such a rogue entity would likely be considered.

The Post Office has some explaining to do and if anyone was using its resources to violate the rights of any American, those people should be tried and, of found guilty, sent to jail for treason.

South Africa Is Not Collapsing Despite Violent Looting In Two Provinces

Bill Collier July 13, 2021

In a rambling speech, President Ramaphosa sought to calm the situation as looters raged throughout numerous locales in an apparent protest against the jailing of fomer President Zuma. While the looting is a serious problem, causing the call-out of the Army and a meeting of all political party heads to develop a unified repsonse, the sensational headlines that claim South Africa is collapsing are inaccurate.

South Africa is in crisis, and all such crises CAN lead to an unraveling, but the forces of civil unity appear to have the upper hand overall, at least for now. Troops have been called out in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, with the latter being Zuma’s homeland. But the looters can hardly be said to be legitimately “protesting” and many doubt this is more than an opportunistic event than an actual public outpouring of support for the former President.

Perhaps real blame lies with Economic Freedom Fighters Party head Julius Malema, a fireband radical neocommunist agitator who has threatened genocide against whites and the rich. Malema’s party has promised to “join” the looters if the Army was called out of barracks. The EFF have been working hard to destabilize South Africa and conduct their own revolution which would plunge the country into race war, not just whites against blacks, but all the racial identifies with one another, and the rich against the poor.

While it is too soon to see if the looters themselves were organized, as it is alleged, by payments from EFF backers to key agitators, it is certainly something that authorities will have to investigate.

Former President Jacob Zuma on 29 June 2021 became the first South African president since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 to receive a prison sentence. South Africa’s Constitutional Court issued a 15-month sentence for contempt of court after Zuma defied an earlier court order to return and testify before the Zondo Commission.

On 7 July 2021, Zuma handed himself over to the police and was admitted to the Estcourt Correctional Centre in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Zuma still has his backers, and some say this current dustup is really an internal power srruggle, but the former President was widely believed to be corrupt during his almost 9 years as President, from 2009 to 2018.

President Ramaphosa’s speech, in which he urged calm, was widely panned but all parties save the EFF agreed to back his present measures and to do their part to calm their supporters. But with the army deployed, the looting continued.

KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala told the press on Tuesday morning, “Yesterday’s events brought a lot of sadness. The number of people who have died in KwaZulu-Natal alone stands at 26. Many of them died from being trampled on during a stampede while people were looting items.”

The total death toll stands at 32.

The looting and violence are mostly limited to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

“What we are witnessing now are opportunistic acts of criminality, with groups of people instigating chaos merely as a cover for looting and theft,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a late-evening address on Monday.

Looting is bad, and it could get worse, it may be insitgated by the EFF and/or the Zuma wing of the ANC, as he challenges his sentencing, but South Africa isn’t “collapsing” and most of its people are standing against the madness.

Safety In A Time of Uncertainty: The Home Security and Safety Cooperative

Bill Collier July 12, 2021

Safety and security within your home when riots or violence are nearby, or against criminals, should be of utmost concern to responsible adults. Simply leaving these matters to the police or hoping for the best, or just having firearms yourself when if you use them some prosecutor may punish you, isn’t enough. This is especially true in urban areas or areas bordering them.

One idea to consider is the home security cooperative. This is a cooperative owned in some combination by its workers and by its customers. This would be a fully vetted and licensed armed security service working with customers not only to patrol and monitor, and respond, but to help them with basic home safety and security preparations and with firearms safety and training, something everyone should applaud.

Within our fictional story about Upadaria, set as a history looking back from 2147, the world enters a major crisis of massive and violent upheavals and the response is a Civic Guard, basically a security and safety, and civil defense and emergency preparedness, cooperative. The Civic Guard in the story has a global structure to pool resources and provide training and support but operates local franchises owned by workers and customers, the customers being members of an international association called a “Commonwealth.”

While this idea is partially inspired by the fictional idea, and in the platform we are building their “Civic Guard” is mostly just a color guard and paintball league, it can be adapted to your own neighborhood needs in the real world.

What this isn’t is a private “militia” of any kind. Let’s be clear, this is a legitimate security company set up by homeowners to meet their home security needs and provide professional backing, training, and support. There is absolutely zero politics involved and this is directed at gamgs, criminals, riots, unrest, and actual disasters and emergencies, including medical, not “the government.”

Indeed, for those concerned with the mercenary nature of some police or those who desire reform, the local security cooperative could become a workable and efficient alternative to burying cops who aren’t connected deeply to those they serve.

The privately owned neighborhood or local home security cooperative, perhaps maybe even call them the Civic Guard, could become a strong means for local people to take their power back from the bureaucrats and corporations and become more materially independent of the influence and control.

This concept is consistent with a Freedomist principle that states:

Whatever you can do privately on your own, through free market exchange, or by collaboration and cooperation, should be done in order to increase material independency and decrease being under the influence and control of others who interests aren’t aligned with your own.

Your own locally owned and operated home security and safety cooperative that fully supports and engages the homeowner ensure your safety, without compromising your independence, even against hazards beyond the scale you as an average person can handle.

Democrats Apparently Sad To See Cuban Communism Under Threat

Bill Collier July 12, 2021

OPINION BY BILL COLLIER- Fox News reports a widely known fact: when it comes to the protests in Cuba, Democrats aren’t silent just because they don’t know what to say. Their brand of woke communism may differ from Cuba’s state communism, but the desire Fidel Castro and his mafia-like Party had for total monopoly power seems to have captured the very soul of the Democratic Party, a party base of totalitarian loons whose respect for this country, and the Bill of Rights especially, is extremely low.

Sanders whitewashed the “authoritarianism” he pretended to oppose, according to this quote:

“We’re very very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Sanders explained. “You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”

The old “Mussolini made the trains run on time” bit.

But it wasn’t just Sanders who Fox got no statement from on Cuba, see this:

Fox News also reached out to the White House for comment. Press Secretary Jen Psaki referred Fox News to the National Security Council, which then referred to Psaki’s comments on Cuba during an interview with MSNBC. Psaki addressed the lack of fundamental resources in Cuba during that interview.

Fox News has also reached out to State Department spokesman Ned Price but has not heard back.

Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, took to Twitter to say the “U.S. supports freedom of expression and assembly across Cuba, and would strongly condemn any violence or targeting of peaceful protesters who are exercising their universal rights.”

All in all, Democrats likely hope the Cuban regime shuts this down quick before people in this country get the “wrong” idea that any form of communism, even the woke communist parternship between corporate monopolies and the state all under the aegis of the Democratic Party, are bad.

But while Democrats in US cities riot, loot, burn, and murder their way into power, Democrats also condemn any “violence” by protestors against a brutal, violent regime.

https://twitter.com/JakeSullivan46/status/1414406415955996672?s=19

That’s it. “We are OK with some protesting, but let’s not get too rowdy as the police beat and brutalize you!”

Totalitarianism is the first insctinct and true love of the Democratic Party.

Meanwhile, Senator Rubio ripped Biden in a Washington Times report for not being a strong advocate for freedom, perhaps because he doesn’t realize that for Biden et al, the fall of the Cuban regime might put the spotlight on their own woke communism.

“The people of #Cuba bravely take to the streets against 62 years of socialist tyranny. 12 hours later President @joebiden @POTUS has yet to say a word about it,” Rubio wrote.

The President isn’t concerned about social justice or equity or any of the buzzwords his handlers tell him to use. He represents a narrow interest, a party base, who see in Castro, Mao, and Stalin role models to follow, not dictatorships that should be overthrown.

Back in March, the woke communist Party (Democrats) urged President Biden to back a return to the rapprochement with Cuba under Castro fanboy, President Obama. The Democrats want for Cuba what they wanted for China, favorable trade deals that may hurt the US but enrich the communist regime. Democrats are by and large woke communists and internationalists who want a “global regimen” for “climate change” and other bogeymen.

Their interests, and the reason why they seek to deconstruct US History through extreme and disproportionate exaggeration of our flaws and mistakes, is precisely because they envision a world under a global structure managed by woke communist types in corporations and governments working together.

The bottom line is, the Democratic Party does not want the Cuban regime to fall.

Democrats Side With….Literally THAT Guy?

Bill Collier July 12, 2021

Democrat Representative Mary Miller of Illinois actually claimed that Hitler was right about one thing: the need to indoctrinate children and turn them away from their own parents. This on the heels of a San Francisco gay men’s choir singing they are coming for your children and promising to use schools to convert them.

Tim Pool discussed this here:

We’ve gone from “honor thy father and mother”, to brainwashing children to defy and despise their parents. This is literally being taught by public teachers in public schools, thanks to the woke communists at the NEA, and the end goal is exactly what Hitler created, a totalitarian dictatorship.

What else do the Democrats want to emulate in the Nazis to turn this country into a totalitarian hellscape, which is their goal? Public schools in America have become the enemy to children, to parents, and to freedom in general and most all public teachers are either afraid and complicit or actively engaged in this criminal behavior.

It is criminal, as in a crime against humanity, what the public schools wre doing. It’s not just critical race theory, it is woke communism being crammed down your children’s throats and gender-bending over-sexualized perversion all being inculcated into your children’s hearts and mind and turning them into damaged human beings. Public schools are INSPIRED by the brutal indoctrination of the Nazis in German schools, that’s a fact we must wake up to.
