Feeling Hopeless? Take Inspiration from the Hero of the American Revolution
George Washington Blog
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
George Washington was a great leader. He commanded the revolutionary forces to victory against the British.
But Washington was actually a terrible military strategist and tactician.
Right from the start of his military career, Washington showed that he was prone to military blunders, and he failed to recognize good military advice when others provided it.
Washington actually lost more battles than he won during the revolutionary war.
And it took him 8 years (1775-1783) to finally prevail.
What made Washington a great leader was his persistence.
Setbacks, defeat, betrayal, and failure did not deter Washington. He kept hope alive against all odds. Even when it seemed like all was lost, he persisted.
As I have frequently written, we never know when our efforts will bear fruit. Even when it seems like our years of struggle our futile and that our enemies have overwhelming power and resources, something we have done may suddenly and unexpectedly win the battle.
Remember, Washington did not even realize that he had won the Revolutionary War after prevailing in the Battle of Yorktown. People had to explain to him and convince him that the Americans had actually won the war.
The reason we overestimate the enemy’s strength is that we do not know about his weaknesses (he tries to project total strength and so tries to hide his weaknesses).
Never give up. Your struggles for truth and justice may just be the thing – or one of the many things – which turns the tide.
This is not to say that we should keep doing the same thing over and over even if it isn’t working. We should frequently re-assess our tactics to see if there is something more effective we can do instead.
And things are admittedly bleak right now, given the economic crisis, the looting of the Treasury and taxpayer and the transfer of trillions to the giant banks, and the unresponsiveness of the government to the wishes of the American peole.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
But as George Washington showed, we must keep persisting even during the bleak times like the American troops’ winter at Valley Forge, because – if we never give up – we will eventually win.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

The power to shape the future is earned through persistence. No other quality is as essential to success. It is the sandpaper that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all obstacles. It is the ability to move mountains one grain of sand at a time.

- George E. Allen
Persevere and get it done.
- George Allen
The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on DESPITE all opposition, until they attain their goal . . . . There may be no heroic connotation to the word persistence, but the quality is to the character of man what carbon is to steel.

If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, Here comes number seventy-one!
- Richard M. Devos
A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.
- Norwegian proverb
Hold on tight
To the place inside where the candle burns
And tend to the flame
Then it will always light your way
The vision seen
Was more than just a dream
And the truth will shine
Even through the darkest night
- The Voice
Note: Two other qualities made Washington a great leader. First, Washington was courageous, and he fought on the front lines along side his soldiers. In his first major battle, Washington had watched the commanding general – General Braddock – do the same thing, and Washington likely copied this behavior.
Washington also learned early in his military career that treating the common soldier and local townspeople with respect and dignity was key to success, for he saw that generals who treated them with disdain lost their much-needed support. For example, soldiers treated without respect often deserted. And townspeople treated with arrogance and disdain often failed to provide the provisions they had promised.

Its about waving a flag, its about blind devotion to authority, be they government paid experts, the government itself or the mainstream media(love me some Savage and Hannity!) who are in bed with the corrupt politicians that I trust. Its about different standards for different nations. Its about intellectual dishonesty and cherry picking “facts”. Somebody would have told! China and Russian elites would have told!(suspend disbelief please). Wolfowitz girlfriend! They would have blamed Iraqis instead of “al qaeda” who you can follow into IRAQ AND other nations!

If the lovely people who write here band together they will tyrannize massively if they achieve power. Don’t think they won’t. I remember some guy online here thretened to kill me with a mob of supporters because of what I had written. He was a supporter of the constitution of the U.S. (a patriot.). I understand that sort of thinking because I have an understanding of man’s nature, I don’t judge people for that kind of behaviour it is funny. The idea of being killed by a mob of free speech advocates for something I had written was awesome , it is the spirit of this world.
My philosophy is non violence, more specifically non-attempting to make people do things with physical force.That is my thing and I don’t care what anyone else does really. I am not a scholar obviously but I like to think and I love to laugh untill I cry and roll around, and I also (regrettably) like to write things that are annoying. But so do other people and the only real free speech is guaranteed when the people all agree to put it forward and not massacre each other for each others views. But other people don’t share the non violent approach becuase they share th same brain stem and that is what makes writing here so much fun.

Your name is “Happy Content USMC Grunt Vet” and you’re on here bitching about a camera that caught you speeding while advocating for a change in the laws of your state. Doesn’t sound like you’re neither happy, nor content. You’re obviously an egomaniacal prick who probably deserved it anyway. In your name, you want us all to think that you’re some kind of badass who’s been to war and fought as a tough guy grunt. I was in the military too and i HAD to fight in a war as well, but i don’t have to go around telling everyone about it. I was ordered to do things i didn’t like doing and i am not proud of that. I wasn’t fighting for America, i was fighting for a greedy corrupt government who enslaves people without giving them a right to an attorney or face their accusers and hides the detainees at secret installations around the world. I fought for a document called the “Patriot Act” that has diminished so many rights Hitler would be envious. I fought for the militarization of our Police Departments, i fought for greedy Wall Street bankers to rob you blind. I fought for the “Military Commissions Act” which eliminates protections against unlawful imprisonment, convictions based on coerced evidence, violations of due process, etc. I fought for Haliburton to be able to build more prisons and military installations via sole source, no bid contracts. I fought for the Military Industrial Complex to get more power to eventually take over. I fought for Israel and China to be able to own us. I fought for the State of Maryland to be able to install speed trap cameras to jack your ass when you don’t obey the speed laws. Basically, I fought for everybody but YOU the average American Joe.
Fuckin shut up with your wannabe attitude, take your stupid ass to court, pay your fine and slow the fuck down asshole.

British Refuse to Burn Commandant’s Quarters
—————————————————————————————————–
Legend has it that British Maj. Gen. Robert Ross was so impressed with the U.S. Marines during the fighting at Bladensburg Maryland, that he ordered the commandant’s quarters left untouched as a gesture of respect during his 1814 raid on the capital. This soldierly admiration reportedly came from the Battle of Bladensburg where 103 Marines and 400 sailors attempted to block 4,000 British troops from advancing on Washington. The Marines stopped three headlong charges before finally being outflanked and driven back.
Washington burned by the British in 1814.
Regardless of the reason, the refusal of the British to burn the building makes the quarters the oldest public building in continuous use in the nation’s capital. Though they spared some of the Corps’ property, the British burned the Marine barracks, the Capitol, the White House and the other public buildings throughout Washington.

TAKEN FROM U.S TREASURE DATABASE
During the War of 1812, Kent Island (in the Chesapeake Bay) was used as a headquarters for the British. Its strategic location allowed the British to maintain control over several key areas including Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC. For 2 years the forces sacked and looted settlements all up and down the Chesapeake, stealing money, jewels, and even furniture. Loot from the sacking of Washington DC was stored here and no doubt many of the British soldiers had their own private caches. Many of the soldiers would not return to find their caches. The war claimed thousands of British casualties and they took the secret of where their treasures were with them to the grave.

MORE INSPIRATION…..PROOF IT ONLY TAKES A FEW GOOD MEN TO STOP OVER WELHM,ING NUMBERS…KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
===============================================================
King Hiero came to Archimedes to get help in developing weapons to fight the Roman general Marcellus, who attacked Syracuse by both land and sea. To stop the attacking soldiers. Archimedes invented the catapult. This hurled 500 pound boulders at the advancing soldiers. To stop the invasion by sea, he invented large claws that picked up Marcellus’ ships, lifted them out of the water, and smashed them against the rocks. The ships that weren’t close enough to capture with claws were destroyed by another invention. Mirrors were used to magnify the sun’s rays to catch the enemy ships’ sails on fire, destroying much of their fleet.

Where they quit in the sight of weak opposition. I have continued to push forward. It is with passion and determination that these individual attained victory in the face of overwhelming odds. It is a beacon of light in the darkest of night,that they light the way,and I shall follow in their footsteps. Always moving forward and pushing relentlessly against the odds.

at that point freemasonry wasn’t heavily involved with illuminati in this country. and sometimes good people are involved in something they think is good. it’s all in the intent of the individual. don’t be a rote robot.

We need more uplifting stories like this to balance the continuous flow of bad news. These pithy quotes are good food for the soul. I have to unplug from the world from time to time. Put a back-pack on, grab a fishing pole and hike 3000 vertical feet in four miles to a lake no one fishes. Watch eagles and listen to the symphony of nature’s sound. The chirp of birds, the buzzing of bees and get bitten by a few bugs. A wait for the tug on the line. I was up in Jackson Hole and hooked a gargantuan lake trout that swallowed a smaller trout that bit first. I had him on for 3 hours. It could have been a Wyoming state record of 50 plus pounds. Then the line broke. But what a memory. During that 3 hours, I didn’t think once about any of my problems or that of the world. Give it a try.

Start going to the tea parties that are planned, unless your already going.
This is sacrifice of your time and beliefs.

ONLYME, you’re not in the fight. You’re not even a part of “the movement.” You’re just a holy roller disengaged from any courage and braveness it takes to face any battles ahead.
You’re just a religious man following your religious scripting, that is all.

First Contact is about to happen. These are exciting times. A whistleblower and several persons associated with the Obama Administration have come forward to FINALLY reveal the truth about Extra-Terrestrial existence. There is a benevolent race called the Galactic Federation of Light, a consortium of 1200 inhabited planets which have reached a deal for final First Contact. Google & You Tube First Contact and learn the truth.
This is all a part of 2012 and the Ascension process. Visit this web site and learn what these kind ET brethren want us to know and how to prepare:

Watching you people act all giddy and patriotic reading these war stories of bravery and shit makes me wanna puke. You’re praising the acts of all of our former family and friends who fought in our military over the centuries against enemies foreign while forgetting that all of it was just INVAIN because the true enemy was really Domestic! And inevitably so since at 1916 when our country was handed over to the Federal Reserve bank. Since then, we have been fighting to enslave ourselves and you’re praising that. What a fuckin joke. Fuckin people. This country’s government IS THE ENEMY, now go fight for your real freedoms!

your right in some ways deprogrammer. but some of these people fought for ideals they believed in, and persevered. fighting hard for your ideals and winning is never a bad thing. thats why this is an info war. we need to teach people through grass roots efforts what is wrong in this country and get them out of the pretty box they have been placed in. we need optimism and courage to change the public mind set.

We need to know that our birth certificates make us property of the Illuminati aka THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INC.
Admiralty Law usurped the Constitution.
Lincoln helped enslave America.
We need to know more than mainstream media and education is feeding us.
Reading these emails gives me hope, thanks to all out there.

To tell you the truth, George Washington won at Yorktown because he had the help of French ground forces, and the French Navy. The British troops were stuck on the bad part of peninsula. The British admiral of the fleet could not engage the French fleet with his full faculties because of an inflamed prostate. So he high tailed it back to Britannia in order to engage the services of that era’s urologist. This left Cornwallis without any supplies or military relief. I kid you not. I was laughing out of my chair when I read it. Imagine if they had sent a younger man whose ass did hurt him, we might have had a longer war at least. Rochambeaux was the commander of the French ground forces, and Washington had to be severely convinced to take the French general’s advice: bottle them up at Yorktown. I was never convinced that Washington was all that bright.

It is not a matter of winning freedom from those who oppose it (falsely framed arguments). The truth is, we live in an action precedes consequence reality. YOU can do anything you choose, limited only by the laws of physics. The ONLY choice of others (including gun toting states and courts) is what they do in response.
These matters were solved centuries ago by the “rule of law”, the most closely guarded and suppressed truth in all of history. Freedom will win because freedom is reality according to the laws of nature (or, gods law, if you prefer):
The “rule of law” is a precisely defined law. It is the highest law of mankind, stated below:
“the suppression of forceful and fraudulent methods of goal seeking”
“all are treated equally by the law”. This means ALL, including king and judges
“absolute property rights”
This in turn is based on the fact that human behavior (the topic of law) is about goal seeking. In the seeking of any goal, there are only three possible methods: force, fraud and honest trade. Any transaction that is not an honest, mutually agreed trade will cause a self-defensive response (conflict) from the victim whose survival has been affected.
“The Rule of Law” is the glue that keeps all of mankind acting together in common interest, tied together by mutual dependence of trade, on an evolutionary path to excellence. Force and fraud creates conflict and destroys civilizations. Mankind is now on a devolutionary path to extinction because the co-operation once forced by “the rule of law” has been replaced by legitimizing force and fraud for those who incorrectly believe they wield power.
