There seems to be a quote from Ben Franklin "HouseWolf" missed:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Here's an image of my final post:
"INVAR" had previously banished my friend, Atossa, who is a Russian nationalist that believes Vladimir Putin is the second coming of Christ and welcomes the Antichrist's version of the 'kingdom of god'. In other words, Atossa represents the opposition to truth I've been warning the world about for so very long and is ideologically my precise enemy. Nevertheless, Atossa should have the right to speak, or post, freely at the TheTreeOfLiberty.com forum or anywhere in this world since liberty represents God's true love.
As for "The Tree Of Liberty" forum, it has proven itself, like FreeRepublic.com, to be a den of cowardly, hypocritical sycophants and is nothing now but a stump of tyranny IMHO. Remember to be careful what you post there, lest you be "wished to the cornfield" as I and Atossa have been:
Watch the Twilight Zone episode, "It's A Good Life", Atossa had pointed out to me as we emailed each other about my posting a dissenting opinion on The Tree Of Liberty forum going private.
"Americans United For Truth & Freedom"?
Gimme a break!
This is wrong IMHO. Think of all the opinions and information you're removing from public view? Those are souls and lives that could have been saved. Did you talk with God about this decision? What is your motivation? Because whatever it is this decision serves darkness well. That Las Vegas lawyer has truly empowered the Evil One as people who serve Mammon rather than God cower in fear.
I talked to God last night and this AM it became clear to me. The "Apocalypse Wave" that I've been warning about will likely unfold bewtween the "Cardinal Climax" now underway into October when a major cyclical low is due. That means the crash of Western Civilization folks. That means the onset of the Great Tribulation and end of AmericaFOR REAL.
Maybe today is an opening shot against "The Truth" I've been so desperately seeking to tell this ill-fated world.
------------------------
The bottom line is this in my view.
America is facing destruction at the hands of the forces of global tyranny. Self-censorship by those standing up for the truth empowers the enemies of liberty. They are served by this choice to close off TOL from the world's eyes IMHO.
Why was this decision made?
Fear of loss of money given the remote possibility that this sue-happy lawyer in Vegas might target this forum? If the issue were bandwidth cost and this was made clear, I among many others would pony up funds accordingly. I don't believe that's the issue. The issue is protection from being sued.
All I can do is point out this. I've sacrificed my life in the struggle for truth against the lies. I have two weeks of unemployment left, have had no health insurance coverage for two years and am at the very end of my own financial rope. I've devoted all my time to trying to get out the truth regarding the pursuit by the "Old Enemy" to destroy and defeat America and her allies, and much of that time and effort was focused in this forum in the past couple of years. Furthermore, over the last 20 years I've foregone family, career and the worldly gain almost all others are obsessed by since I realized that the future of the free world is imperiled as never before and NO ONE is doing ANYTHING to fight back, thus sealing our fate.
Are you beholden to and serve at the behest of Mammon? That's your prerogative as free creatures, but you are robbing the free world of its future in your blind devotion to a false god.
To serve God is to NOT SERVE MAMMON, particularly on historical occasions such as these End Times. What if God wants you to set aside your worldly concerns and sacrifice any devotion to Mammon in order to fight for Him? If so, where does that place those that have made this decision to shutoff TOL from the outside world?
You wealth might seem safe now, but your soul is not IMHO.
"Freedom is not free."
Do these words have no meaning here?
Do you really think that the struggle to be free has no costs, incurs no risks and involves no struggle against others who favor tyranny and control?!
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson
In seeking to protect "your skin" this forum shuts itself off from the outside world out of fear that it might be sued?
Are you kidding?
And then the members rally round this self-censorship, this effective abrogation of the right to free speech, like mindless lemming and sycophants to "the monarchy" of TOL authority?
Am I risking to shed my "own blood" in drawing the blood of tyrants who seek to squelch the struggle for liberty here?
So be it.
What I see here is cowardice in the face of tyranny.
What I see here is a stump of tyranny where the tree of liberty has been chopped down in the name of legal liability and financial risk.
Are you all really this insincere in your patriotism and libertarianism?
Seriously, how the heck do you think liberty, and the American Idea, is to persevere in this world under the specter of annihilation by the forces of tyranny when the slightest threat of economic loss, nevermind loss of life and limb, sends you all scurrying to hide yourselves?
Do you all not believe that there really is a historical struggle for liberty and truth underway that requires risk and sacrifice?
Truly the crash of Western Civilization is at hand, and it has been brought about by everyone's cowardice for comfort. The forces of tyranny can rely upon worldly beings to cling to their Golden Calf of Mammon at the cost of liberty and truth time and time again.Do you really think this is just the silencing of this forum?Quote:
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. [2 Thessalonians 2]
What is unfolding here is but a symptom of a far greater disease that has rotten the Tree of Liberty to its core such that it has withered and died around America and the free world.
If the rejuvenating water is our blood, then the willingness to shed blood, or at least incur some financial risk, is requisite for salvation. The spirit of truth and freedom is not some fiction, folks. Live and die by the truth and know eternal life; live and die by a lie and risk spiritual death.
JMHO.
Rather ironic that this thread started the day after TOL went private and hid itself from the world out of fear of financial liability.
Honestly....what would any of you truly risk and sacrifice in the struggle for truth, liberty and the American Idea?
Gimme a break!

Go ahead and prove your worth, Invar. It's clear who you serve.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfGWvexg90w (compliments of Atossa, my TOL friend you "sent to the cornfield".)To think you all operate under the banner of resisting tyranny! First take the plank out of your own eye, "patriots"...------------------------I was then banned from the forum by Invar.
vBulletin Message You have been banned for the following reason:
Disparaging the Officers and the Owner and stating we serve the Devil because you have been admonished against bitching about what the owner does with his own house.
Of course, it seems to me that "The Tree Of Liberty" is not owned by anyone other than God because I'm crazy like that...
