People across WI, including my family, protested for John’s life in front of the Aurora hospital in Oconomowoc. Christians across America prayed. Thank you to everyone on my email list who joined in our prayers for John. Through a series of miraculous events, John Zingsheim shared he was secretly given Ivermectin and with all the prayers going up on his behalf, beat the odds and survived the NIH protocol and the hospital’s treatment for over ten months, more than a 100 of those days on the Ventilator, captive within their walls.
John’s case, Allen Gahl v Aurora Health Care Inc, has now come before the WI Supreme Court and Attorney Karen Mueller will present oral arguments this Tuesday, January 17th. You can watch it for free on livestream at https://wiseye.org/. There are 3 cases being heard that morning, ours is the 2nd case, estimated to start around 11am, but in case they’re running early, I’d aim to be watching by 10:30 am central time.
Easy. Destroy its literacy, and you’ve dumbed it down. And once dumbed down, it
becomes the potential victim of any unscrupulous power that wants to dominate it.
Recently I had occasion to read several bound volumes of the Century Magazine,
published in the early days of the last century. The quality of the articles and the diversity
of subject matter revealed a general literacy of a very high order. They were written for a
public that not only could read but had great curiosity and interest about the world. In
those days, Americans had independent intelligence and an insatiable appetite for
knowledge in all fields.
Today there are few magazines that still cater to a dwindling literate population. And
none of them have the breadth and depth of what was published a hundred years ago.
And while our technological advances have given us marvelous gadgets for
communication, most of them are used today to record and play popular music, create
video games, and send emails. Nobody writes letters anymore. We either send emails or
greeting cards with messages for every occasion. The American brain just doesn’t
function the way it used to. It’s been replaced by emotion, ignorance, and wishful
thinking.
If you look at the most illiterate nations on the planet, you find that they are ruled by
despots, live in abject poverty, and have no hope for a better future. That doesn’t mean
that literate nations, like Germany, can’t produce political monsters. But when they do,
we know that satanic influences are behind it. Literacy is not immune from evil. It can
be used for evil purposes. But a Constitutional Republic is supposed to be so constructed
as to make evil unlikely to prevail.
America, from its beginning, was arguably the most literate nation on earth, and the result
was positive in every respect. Why was it so literate? Because the people were governed
by the precepts of the Bible, and biblical literacy was paramount in the education of the
nation’s children. But once Americans succumbed to government schooling, which eliminated God from
the curriculum, it became possible to introduce teaching methods deliberately intended to
dumb down the nation.
All of this was done in the early days of the last century by our Progressive educators who
no longer believed in the religion of their fathers. They now put their faith in science,
which explained how the material world worked; evolution, which explained the origin of
living matter, organisms spontaneously created in some sort of primordial soup; and
behavioral psychology, which gave the educators the means to remove the soul from
human beings and control their behavior like animals. And the Progressives have
succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
And these Progressives were also Socialists. Why? Because they had to deal with the
problem of evil, and they decided that evil was caused by our capitalist system in which
competition and the pursuit of wealth were driving forces. But Socialism would
eliminate evil, by eliminating competition, making everyone economically equal, and
eliminating social injustice. And so the Progressives embarked on a long-range program to convert America from a
capitalist, individualistic society to a collectivist, egalitarian society. And after a hundred
years of unremitting effort, they have finally captured the machinery of political and
economic power.
The question is: are there enough Bible believing, individualistic Americans, willing to
do whatever it will take to preserve our Constitutional Republic? I recently watched a
video on YouTube about how Cesar Chavez became dictator of Venezuela. He promised
to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Naturally, the poor became his chief
supporters and they have bought the socialist promise of equality and social justice hook,
line and sinker. As long as he has oil money he can shower the poor with goodies. The
ultra rich could make deals with the dictatorship. But the middle class has found it
impossible to survive under Chavez, and anyone with any ambition is leaving the country.
And where are many of them going? To the United States.
But what if the United States goes socialist? Where will Americans go? One solution is
for conservatives to move en masse to one of the states that did not vote for Obama and
create a truly conservative state government that will resist the socialist pressures from
Washington. Which state would that be? But perhaps that will not be necessary if in 2010 the American people get rid of the
present left-wing Congress in power, and replace the socialists with conservative lovers
of Constitutional government. A prospect devoutly to be wished.

Julie Wilkinson, age 64 married 35 years to Bill, parents of three married daughters and grandparents to four. Graduated as an R.N. in 1981. Raised in an intact but quite liberal home. In 1983 after breaking up with a boyfriend, moved to Boulder, CO where a nursing school classmate and friend lived. Accepted a position as abortion assistant at a late term abortion clinic, run by Warren Hern MD. Left after about 2 years there. Experienced a heart change by the grace of God, and partly due to employment in an NICU in Denver. Married in 1987 and moved to Cheyenne. Did not share with friends my dark secret of working in the abortion industry for many years. Moved to Oklahoma in 1996. Eventually made contact with a woman who had herself managed an abortion clinic but left the business and went on to create outreach for abortion clinic workers. Her name is Abby Johnson. I gained courage to share my sad story, in the hope it might help women rethink their plans to end their children’s lives. Today I try to share my story with anyone that is interested. Had a small role in the movie “UNPLANNED” (which was filmed in Oklahoma). It is Abby Johnson’s story of redemption.

Valerie McDonnell is the youngest elected official in the United States after winning her election to the New Hampshire House of House of Representatives “The American Legion Oratorical Contest on The Constitution 1st Place Winner New Hampshire State Champion 2021 and 2022” She graduated from Salem (NH) High School and is attending Southern NH University

Gaslighting is defined in the Urban Dictionary as “a form of intimidation or psychological abuse, where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity”. While gaslighting is something that can be done to an individual, we see it at a national level. Here are just a few examples:
The George Floyd protests were mainly peaceful.
Black Lives Matter is a legitimate Civil Rights organization worthy of your support.
Antifa is a concept.
The Southern Border is secure.
Putin is responsible for inflation.
The laptop is Russian disinformation.
The 2020 election was the most secure election in our history.
Covid did not come from a lab in Wuhan.
The Covid 19 Vaccine is safe and will prevent you from getting and spreading Covid 19.
Our Democracy almost ended on January 6, 2021. It was the darkest day in our history.

The Corporate Media or as it is called more recently “Fake News” collaborating with the Biden Administration, the Democrat Party and elements within the Republic Party are employing gaslighting at its finest.
The term comes from a British play “Gaslight” written by Patrick Hamilton in 1938. It was made into a movie in 1940 directed by Thorold Dickinson. An American remake was produced in 1944 starring Ingrid Bergman, and several others including a version in 2022. Here is a link to the classic 1940 version: https://rumble.com/v24vw2y-gaslight-the-1940-movie.html

I am in the habit of vising local libraries in my travels where I leave off literature, promotional flyers, pamphlets and books. Most libraries have local support groups called “Friends of the Library. Several years ago, I stopped in the Millis, Massachusetts Public Library to leave some Camp Constitution promotional items and perused their “Friend of the Library” book sale. Most of the books offered were trashy novels, and biographies of celebrities. But to my surprise, I found a serendipitous gem: Formation of the Union Under the Constitution. So, I bit the bullet, and spent one whole dollar for the book.
The book, which is over 800 pages, was published by the U.S. Government Printing Office to celebrate the 150th Anniversary or Sesquicentennial of the United States Constitution. Chapter 1 is the story of the Constitution without today’s “wokeness” and a series of questions and answers. The most fascinating question I found appears on page 128:
Q. Where in the Constitution is their mention of education? A. There is none; education is a matter reserved for the states.

Keep in mind that when this book was published, the New Deal Democrats were in complete control of all three branches of the federal government.
Chapter Two contains the organization of the government under the Constitution. It includes, on page 286, a circular letter written by Governor John Hancock opposing an Article V Convention. Chapter Three has a selection of liberty documents including the Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, and The U.S. Constitution. The fourth and final chapter contains the transcripts of speeches by various politicians in praise of the Constitution, and Constitutional Cartoons found below.
We plan to reprint this out-of-print book which is available on Amazon and as a PDF from our website:

We met Lauren while she was a student Suffolk University in Boston. We-Rev Steve and Edith Craft and I were giving some friends a tour of Boston in September of 2020 when Lauren was jogging through the Boston Public Garden. Edith spotted Lauren in her MAGA hat, and a conversation developed. We were very impressed by Lauren and invited her to speak at our monthly luncheon (see video below).
Lauren explains in an episode of “The Camp Constitution Report” how a “transgender” student who took strong exception to her conservative values and a leftist professor collaborated to get her expelled from the school. She refused to apologize for things she didn’t do, faced a school tribunal of five left-wing professors and won a 5-0 decision.
This is Lauren’s presentation at Camp Constitution’s monthly luncheon November of 2020:
