It’s Time for the Samuel Adams Option
Retreat is not an option. Choose the Sam Adams Option and fight back—intelligently.
By J.S. Winter • September 9, 2020
In 2018, Rod Dreher published The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians Living in a Post-Christian World. In it, he argued that Christians needed to recognize that this is a post-Christian society, and that they should withdraw as much as possible from it and build up private Christian communities. His inspiration for this concept is Saint Benedict of Nursia, who founded 12 different communities for monks, which became repositories of learning and civilization during the barbarism that ensued after the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Ayn Rand, in 1957, suggested something similar in Atlas Shrugged. She too, foresaw a sclerotic and decadent United States in which individualism, excellence, and market forces were subjected to collectivist views of equity and “fairness.” She envisioned the creative and business geniuses of America withdrawing to a valley called Galt’s Gulch and going on strike.

Follow up to previous post:
So what did Samuel Adams and other patriots do?
They formed Committees of Correspondence—connecting patriots to each other across the different towns and villages within individual colonies and with each other.
They developed their own media to promote “the rights of the colonists, and of this province [Massachusetts] in particular, as men, as Christians, and as subjects; to communicate and publish the same to the several towns in this province and to the world as the sense of this town.”
They protected themselves from the “cancel culture” of their era by often using pseudonyms and forming secret societies.
They used symbolic acts of resistance like the Boston Tea Party to mobilize public opinion.
They worked within the system as much as possible—petitioning allies within the British government.
They published the names and exposed the merchants who imported British goods and undermined American industry.
Unhinged ANTIFA Girl Spits At Police, Cops Take Her Down,
Her Weeping is Delicious
This was the scene in Seattle, in the former CHOP/CHAZ area on Sept 8th.
A woman was taunting cops when she decided to escalate the situation by spitting at the officers.
The police immediately tackle and cuff her.
The woman cries as if she's surprised she's going to jail. Her bail was rejected.
Listen at 1:33 to what the male officers response is to the camera person's request for a female officer.
Priceless!

What Possible Disruption Is Coming That Requires China To Start Massive Stockpiling Of All Possible Commodities
Meanwhile, here is something to study. China has announced it plans to boost its strategic commodities reserves to assuage anxiety over energy and food security. Starting in 2021, it will make what Bloomberg calls “mammoth” purchases of crude, strategic materials, and farm goods, officials apparently say. This is being done to ensure China can ride out any repeat of this year’s supply disruptions, or a deterioration in trade relations with the US, for example. This is apparently part of the shift to “internal circulation”, or greater self-reliance, which is already being flagged, and which will kick in for the five year plan 2021-25.
