Great Repression
All over the world we are seeing courageous individuals responding to The Great Reset with Great Resistance. We have seen Great Repression seeking to crush the Resistance, not only in Canada, but also in Australia, New Zealand, in Europe and the United States and in South Africa. What are the tools and tactics of tyrants? How can we best recognize, resist and respond to repression? “He is conceited…he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments that result in envy, quarrelling, malicious talk, evil suspicions.” 1 Timothy 6:4.
Blame-shifting and Bulling
The tools of tyrants include: boycotts and blacklisting, blame shifting and bulling, censorship and character assassination, discrediting, demonizing, distracting, defunding and de-platforming, excluding and economic warfare, fake news and false flags, gossip and gas-lighting, lies and libel, sanctions and slander, intimidation and interference, toxic terminology, threats and terrorism, propaganda and psychological warfare, revolution and repression. “While they promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of depravity…” 2 Peter 2:19
Repressive Rule
In Canada we have seen Justin Trudeau using all of these favorite tools of tyrants against those who disagree with him. After almost 2 years of repressive rule in which the state claimed the power to determine who could work, when they could work, how they could work, where they could work, what they needed to wear, whether they were allowed to worship or not, and even what chemicals had to be injected into their body, there was rising Resistance. Instead of responding to the growing outrage over government overreach and intrusion into the everyday lives of communities, congregations, families and individuals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doubled down with even more repressive rules crushing working class people such as the truckers. “Justice is turned back and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14

Gossip and Gas-lighting
When tens of thousands of people rose up in the Freedom Convoy to demand the end of medical tyranny, vaccine mandates and the masquerade madness, with hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country coming out in enthusiastic support for their initiative, Trudeau responded with one of the favorite tools of tyrants. He slandered the truckers and their supporters as: right wing extremists, racists, misogynists, white supremacists, science deniers and Nazis! “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil… Who justify the wicked for a bribe and take away justice from the righteous man!” Isaiah 5:20-23
Slander is the Tool of the Loser
As Socrates observed: “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would often repeat this quote when her opponents resorted to ad hominem arguments and slander. As in soccer, you’re meant to play the ball not the man. To kick a fellow player rather than the ball is to be guilty of a foul. In any debate, one should deal with the issue, not attack the individual with whom we are having the disagreement. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Character Assassination
Rather than addressing the issues being protested against by the Freedom Convoy, Justin Trudeau chose to character assassinate the protesters and then blame shifted by hypocritically accusing the truckers of interfering with the economy and people’s everyday lives! After two years of suffocating the economy and people’s everyday lives with the lockdown lunacy, masquerade madness, covid cult, salvation by vaccination mandates, it is incredible that Trudeau could have the audacity to blame the very people who were trying to open up the economy and bring freedom back to everyone’s daily lives, for the very policies he had been enforcing! “…’Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you.'” 2 Chronicles 19:2
Sanctions and Economic Warfare
Trudeau mobilized his minions to persuade go fund me to freeze the money raised to support the freedom convoy and then to prevent give send go from forwarding the funds raised for the protesters. Sanctions and economic warfare are popular tools of tyrants. “You shall not steal.” Exodus 10: 15
Communist Chinese Connection
Then we saw Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emulating the Communist Chinese dictatorship that he has expressed such admiration for. Declaring a state of emergency, he mobilized his police to bully and bludgeon the peaceful protesters in the streets of Ottawa, freeze their bank accounts, confiscate their vehicles, threaten to take away their children and place them under state-controlled welfare and have their pets assigned to shelters where they could be euthanized! Not content with arresting the peaceful protesters, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government were determined to destroy the lives of not only the protesters but also of those who supported them, even with small donations. “Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.” Isaiah 59:7
Harassment and Threats
The details of those who have given donations to the freedom convoy were published online leading to much harassment and threats being unleashed upon simple working class people and entrepreneurs. “You shall not covet … ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.” Romans 13:8-10
Pervasive Propaganda
All of this was made possible by the pervasive propaganda which demonized simple working class people who wanted their lives back. Fake news enabled Trudeau’s tyranny. False flags were also used to distract from the primary message of the thousands of truckers and hundreds of thousands of their supporters. Words were weaponized and terminology made toxic. Canadians were warned that the word Freedom is subversive and is code for white supremacy and right-wing extremism. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1
Using George Orwell’s 1984 as a Manual
It would appear that liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada has used George Orwell’s 1984 as a manual rather than recognizing it as a warning of tyrannical tools and tactics to be avoided. George Orwell warned of the dangers of totalitarian government and the subversion of language, where the Ministry of Truth (Minitruth) deals with lies and propaganda, demonizing the opponents of the state, making them unpersons/vaporizing them and ensuring that their message and identity disappear down the memory hole. The Ministry of plenty (miniplenty) deals with rationing and ensures starvation. The ministry of peace (Minipeace) deals with war and the ministry of love (Minilove) deals with torture to ensure subservience and obedience from the masses. “The way of peace they have not known and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace.” Isaiah 59:8.
Double Standards and Hypocrisy
In the name of democracy the peaceful protests of many tens of thousands of Canadians were suppressed. In the name of Law & Order, the rule of law was suspended and effective martial law enforced. Those who normally trumpet tolerance crushed dissent and outlawed freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, freedom of opinion and freedom of the press. Even journalists were warned not to cover the police actions and journalists were attacked and arrested. “Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16

A new climate science study, involving a panel of 17 experts from 13 countries, has just been published in the scientific journal, Atmosphere. The study looked at the various data adjustments that are routinely applied to the European temperature records in the widely used Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) dataset over the last 10 years.
The GHCN monthly temperature dataset is the main data source for thermometer records used by several of the groups calculating global warming – including NOAA, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
These thermometer records can vary in length from decades to over a century. Over these long periods, the temperature records from individual weather stations often contain abrupt changes due to local factors that have nothing to do with global or national temperature trends. For example, changes in the location of the weather station, the types of thermometers used or the growth of urban heat islands around the station.
To try to correct for these non-climatic biases, NOAA, who maintain the GHCN dataset have been running a computer program to identify abrupt jumps in the records using statistical methods. Whenever the program identifies an abrupt jump it applies an adjustment to remove that jump from the station’s record. This process is called temperature homogenization. Until now, most scientists have assumed the process is generally working correctly.
In this new study, the authors analyzed thousands of different versions of the dataset downloaded over 10 years. They studied the homogenization adjustments for more than 800 European temperature records. They found that these adjustments changed dramatically every day when NOAA re-ran their computer program.
The authors found that only 17% of NOAA’s adjustments were consistent from run to run.
Furthermore, by compiling historical records known as station history metadata for each of the stations, they were able to compare the adjustments applied by NOAA’s computer program to the documented changes that were known to have occurred at the weather station. They found that less than 20% of the adjustments NOAA had been applying corresponded to any event noted by the station observers – such as a change in instrumentation or a station move.
The findings of the study show that most of the homogenization adjustments carried out by NOAA have been surprisingly inconsistent.
Moreover, every day, as the latest updates to the thermometer records arrive, the adjustments NOAA applies to the entire dataset are recalculated and changed. As a result, for any given station, e.g., Cheb, Czech Republic, the official homogenized temperatures for 1951 (as an example) might be very different in Tuesday’s dataset than in Monday’s dataset.
The study itself was not focused on the net effects of these adjustments on long-term climate trends. However, the authors warned that these bizarre inconsistencies in this widely-used climate dataset are scientifically troubling. They also are concerned that most researchers using this important dataset have been unaware of these problems until now.
The authors conclude their study by making various recommendations for how these problems might be resolved, and how the temperature homogenization efforts can be improved in the future.

| February 22, 2022 marks the 290th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, who, in this writer’s opinion, was the greatest man born in America. As the Cultural Marxists denigrate him, we at Camp Constitution will always honor his memory and legacy. While there are numerous biographies written about this great and good man, I recommend two short books and his “Farewell Address”
“Washington’s 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior” He wrote these 110 rules when he was 16 years old from a set of rules established by French Jesuits in 1595. Here is a sampling of those rules: “When in Company, put not your Hands to any Part of the Body, not usually Discovered.” |
| “Show Nothing to your Friend that may affright him.” |
| “In the Presence of Others Sing not to yourself with a humming Noise, nor Drum with your Fingers or Feet.”
“The Bullet Proof George Washington”: An account of George Washington’s part in the July 9th, 1755, battle during the French and Indian War. During the two-hour battle, the 23-year-old Colonel Washington had ridden on the battlefield, delivering the general’s orders to other officers and troops. The officers had been a special target for the Indians. Of the eighty-six British and American officers, sixty-three were casualties. Washington was the only officer on horseback not shot down. Following the battle, Washington wrote a letter to his brother in which he readily and openly acknowledged: “By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!” Fifteen years later, an old, respected Indian chief sought out Washington. The chief, explaining that he had led the Indians against them in the battle fifteen years earlier, revealed to Washington what had occurred behind the scenes during the conflict: “I called to my young men and said, mark yon tall and daring warrior. Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss–’twas all in vain, a power mightier far than we shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you…I am come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle.”
Washington’s plan to retire from office would come to be known as his “Farewell Address.” In 1792, when Washington considered leaving office, he had James Madison write a draft. In 1796, Alexander Hamilton did a rewrite and Washington edited it. The “American Daily Advertiser,” a paper in Philadelphia, the seat of the nation’s capital at the time, published it on September 19, 1796. Here are a few of the points that have stood the test of time: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain, would man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness” “It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding the exercise of the power of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments into one, and thus create whatever the form of government, a real despotism” and “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.” May this generation of Americans endeavor to keep George Washington’s legacy alive for generations yet unborn.

Recently, I was speaking to a group in Aroostook County, Maine and the subject of impeachment came up. I said that each house can expel its members, but members of Congress cannot be impeached. My friend and fellow Patriot Jack McCarthy said that it was not true. So, let us investigate the subject.
The United States Constitution mentions impeachment in several places:
Article 1, Section 2 last clause “…and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment
Article 1, Section 3 Clause 6:
“The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside. And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.”
Article 1 Section 3, Clause 7:
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. And:
Article 2, Section 4
The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
There is some misunderstanding of the term “impeachment.” It is akin to an indictment or a formal accusation but not a declaration of guilt. The House of Representatives, with a simple majority, votes to impeach and then the case is heard by the U.S. Senate. The first federal official to be impeached was William Blount, a U.S. Senator from Tennessee who was one of the signers of the U.S. Constitution. It took place on July 7, 1797. The next day, the Senate voted to expel him. Blount engaged in a plot to give land to England.
Congress has the power to expel members:
Article 1, Section 5: Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.

Portrait of Blount
The Senate never tried the impeachment case against Blount because he had already been expelled. A resolution introduced in the Senate saying that Blount was a civil officer and subject to impeachment was defeated by a 14-11 vote. Since then, not one member of Congress has been impeached but five members of the House and 15 Senators have been expelled. Seventeen of them were expelled for supporting the Confederacy, and only two since the Civil War: Mike Myers of Pennsylvania and Jim Traficant of Ohio. Myers was recently indicted for voter fraud.
There have been three presidents impeached: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump. All were acquitted by the Senate. Trump was impeached twice. The second impeachment was such a sham that Chief Justice Roberts refused to participate. Richard Nixon resigned before articles of impeachment were brought against him.
Federal Judges
Article 3, Section 1, The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior.
There have been fifteen federal judges including Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase, who was acquitted, that were impeached and only eight were convicted by the Senate and removed from office. The first being John Pickering of New Hampshire in 1804 for mental instability, and intoxication while on the bench. In 1989, Judge Alcee Hastings of the Southern District of Florida was impeached and removed for accepting bribes, but the Senate did not disqualify him from office. He was a member of Congress from 1993 until his death last year.

Alcee Hastings
So, I was wrong to say that members of Congress cannot be impeached, and my friend Jack McCarthy was right. But only one member of Congress has been impeached. While nineteen states-Rhode Island being the only one in New England-have provisions to recall state elected officials, they cannot recall members of Congress. However, the founders gave us frequent elections. While impeachments, expulsions and recalls are rare, we can fire and replace our employees at all levels of government at the ballot box.
We recently had the opportunity to interview Stacey Dash who played our late friend Dr. Mildred Jefferson:
https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2022-01-31T14_09_53-08_00

Dr. Jefferson was a pioneer in the Pro-Life Movement. She was the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, but she told people “I didn’t go to Harvard Medical School to be the first black woman to graduate from it. I went there because it was the best medical school in the country” She spoke at Camp Constitution’s 2010 annual family camp which may have been her last speaking event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PutGqzRIHMo&t=305s

Homeschool pioneer and author Sam Blumenfeld gives a lecture on how socialists took over government schools in the United States and, why parents need to remove their children from government schools: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2022-02-06T11_05_19-08_00
Sam was a generation ahead of his time. He started warning parents about the dangers of government schools back in the 1970s. Many parents-like me-took his advice, but many either didn’t know or didn’t care. Thankfully, that is changing but it shouldn’t have taken so long.
