The shackles of serfdom are being silently fastened to America. Every dollar Congress spends beyond its budget, every Federal Reserve Note printed, every tax, regulation, and government intrusion into our lives renders us less free. Ever wonder why it feels like it’s increasingly difficult to make ends meet? Remember the days when one spouse could work, the other raise the kids, and still save for a comfortable retirement? Those days are gone, but why? What’s next? The 5 Steps to Freedom: How To Cut Your Dependence On Institutions And Escape Financial Slavery, by Jeff Nabers explains what happened to our once prosperous society and how we can all take definite steps to escape what is to come.

Highlights from transcript:
I’m here today to offer my unwavering support to the millions of Texans that are tired of Washington D.C. trying to come down here and telling us how to run Texas.
The 10th Amendment was enacted by folks who remembered what it was like to have a very repressive government, to be under the thumb of tyrants and an all powerful government. Unfortunately, the protections it guarantees have melted away over the course of the years.
You’re prob familiar with that old adage of how to boil a frog: You just get him to sit there in that pot and you turn up the heat a little bit by a little bit, before you know it the frog doesn’t realize it, but he’s done.
And since the U.S. constitution has been ratified the federal government has been slowly turning up the heat, and they’ve eroded the notion of states rights.
Texans know best how to govern Texas. We’re proof that good things happen when government lowers taxes, and lowers regulations, it reduces spending and encourages private sector growth.
I happen to believe that the constitution does not empower the federal government to overrule state laws without restraint. I agree with Texas’s 7th governor, Sam Houston, who said “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.”
I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion in the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state.

There are two colossal events occurring in the world right now: Private credit and wealth is being destroyed, and in its place a good deal of money is being created. Much is taking place behind the scenes, driving this epic showdown between natural forces pushing for a return to sustainable equilibrium pitted against the full arsenal of man’s capability to resist. Just as the fog of war can obscure a battlefield until the end, the outcome of this struggle is far from clear. Nonetheless, there are some telling events to note, signs for which to watch, and consequences to mull. Continue Reading

Everyday our liberties and freedom come under fire. The American Republic once protected its citizens from arbitrary abuse, extortion, and deliberate social engineering.

The Republic is gone and we are left to fend for ourselves, to put up resistance to every encroachment on individual self-determination. The Freedom Under Fire Report provides daily coverage of the most important issues, so that you remain informed and ready to defend yourself.
