Are We on the Verge of Civil War?

By Matthew Hayward

Will Washington State's Governor Jay Inslee's announcement of businesses being required to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask be the breaking point?

After months of limited sales and fear of economic uncertainty, Inslee is now threatening financial ruin to any business that will not comply.

Business owners of Washington State will be getting their brown shirts in the mail over the weekend. Will they join the Stasi, be an informant, or join the resistance?

We are coming much closer to a revolution than most realize.

Businesses have been deputized as the enforcement arm of the state. Business owners are literally on the frontline. They must either be willing to stand up and risk everything or comply and be the enforcing arm of the state.

If business owners are going to make a stand, they need to know we will be there to back them up. To be successful, they will have to keep their doors open and persist as long as they can continue receiving stock.

Threats of fines, getting a fine, and having your business license pulled cannot cause you to blink. It's time to go all the way. Do not stop conducting business until and unless the government is going to come with guns and make you stop by force... and at that point, that is when you will hear the shot heard around the world.

Happy Fourth of July weekend to those who believe in freedom and will fight to keep it. Those unwilling to stand their line are traitors and don't deserve the freedom others died for them to enjoy.

Keep your powder dry.

The Heavy Toll of Reclaiming Freedom

By Matthew Hayward The struggle for freedom has been a recurring act in the grand theater of human history. Yet, there is a philosophical argument that once freedoms are lost, they are irretrievably gone. This perspective, while disheartening, merits exploration. It's a chilling echo of the words of the trailblazing libertarian Claire Wolfe, "America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." The first act in this tragic play is the rise of technology. As we advance technologically, the tools of distraction become more potent. The Roman Coliseum has been replaced by the smartphone, a device that can pacify and distract with unprecedented efficiency. This technological pacification, while seemingly benign, has a sinister side. It diverts attention from the erosion of freedoms, making it easier for those in power to chip away at our liberties unnoticed. Consider the pervasive surveillance facilitated by our ...

How the Drug War Killed Liberty

By Matthew Hayward 10/25/2025 When the State Declares War on Behavior Earlier this month, President Trump ordered United States military strikes off the coast of Venezuela, killing alleged “narcoterrorists.” He later boasted, “ We’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. ” Those words should chill every American who believes in liberty. Fifty years after Nixon declared his war on drugs, it has evolved from domestic raids to international executions, all under the same failed philosophy that government violence can cure human vice. When the state declares war on human behavior, it always loses and takes the people down with it. Every prison cell, every overdose, every cartel bullet is a monument to the arrogance of government trying to legislate morality. Back in 1988, Ron Paul said it best on The Morton Downey Jr. Show: “You can’t legislate morality. You can’t force people to be better by passing laws. If you want to solve moral and social problems, y...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it, it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state, each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do pe...
