Dear Friend,
The government is very good at using legitimate crises and manufactured diversions as a means of expanding their power at the expense of our freedoms.
What we see unfolding before us—the lockdowns, the hints of martial law, the overriding of every freedom principle enshrined in the Constitution—is a test. This is not a test of our commitment to basic hygiene or disaster preparedness or our ability to come together as a nation in times of crisis.
Rather, this is a test to see how well we have assimilated the government’s lessons in compliance, fear and police state tactics; a test to see how quickly we’ll march in lockstep with the government’s dictates, no questions asked; and a test to see how little resistance we offer up to the government’s power grabs when made in the name of national security.
Most critically of all, this is a test to see whether the Constitution—and our commitment to the principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights—can survive a national crisis and true state of emergency.
Rest assured, The Rutherford Institute is still on the job.

For freedom,
