Following the peaceful costumed tourism junket that patriotic Americans took to the US Capitol on January 6, the federal government is determined to carry out an unprecedented attack on the rights of American citizens. If you haven’t looked at any of the Democrats’ proposed gun control legislation this month, it’s worth a moment of your time. The new regime is also determined to shut down anything you say online as “hate speech.” Your vote will be diluted in all future elections by a mass amnesty of foreign criminals if they get their way. The costumed Capitol crusaders are being labeled “insurrectionists” and many will be charged with sedition.
Just days ago, Canada’s government designated the Proud Boys as a terrorist organization, lumping them in with Al Qaida, ISIS and Boko Haram. This is obviously a favor to the Biden regime, which will now be able to follow suit by saying, “If our allies believe this is a terrorist group, why have we not done the same?”
All of this is enough to make you wonder: What would it look like if we had a real president and they had to deal with a real insurrection? We do have one example of that in this country, and the outcome was remarkably different than what we’re likely to see from the Biden regime.
In 1791, the fledgling US government imposed an excise tax on distilled spirits to try to pay off its Revolutionary War debts. The tax was a bad idea, because it wasn’t applied fairly to all Americans. If you were a candle-maker in New York City, you were paying no tax at all. But if you were a poor farmer on the frontier in western Pennsylvania and you distilled your excess grain into whiskey every year to a make a few extra bucks, you were footing the bill to pay for the Revolutionary War.
It was hard to transport grain to market from western Pennsylvania in those days, so distilling the excess into whiskey was extremely common. So common, in fact, that frontier communities used whiskey as a medium of currency exchange. The federal government was, in effect, taxing their money in western Pennsylvania, while businesses back in the big cities were paying nothing.
The farmers started refusing to pay the tax and the federal government overreacted. This led to the so-called Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. One government official blamed the overzealous government reaction on Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton publicly called that a “conspiracy thesis.” (Some things never change.)
This was a real insurrection against the US government. Pennsylvania farmers were refusing to pay the tax and chasing off tax collectors at gunpoint. Several civilians were killed in a gunfight with federal tax collectors in 1794. Even more farmers then took up arms and eventually President George Washington sent in federal troops to quell the rebellion. 150 farmers were taken into custody and charged with treason, but juries refused to convict any of them. Two of the leaders of the group were sentenced to hang – but then George Washington pardoned them.
None of the insurrectionists – who actually took up arms against the US government – ever served any prison time. Instead, American society basically provided them with a blanket amnesty. Washington was savvy enough to realize just how hypocritical it would have looked to punish the Pennsylvania farmers for leading a rebellion over unjust taxes, when he had literally done the exact same thing a few years earlier against the British crown.
The first instinct of a tyrant is always to crush a rebellion completely, so that nobody else gets to feeling too uppity and does the same thing. But instead, the leaders of the US government in the wake of the Whiskey Rebellion did something else. They had the emotional maturity to look in the mirror and say, “Wait a sec… what if this is somehow partly my fault? If the people are so mad that they’re taking up arms against us, maybe the problem is us and not them!”
America’s leaders understood that if they punished the citizens who participated in the Whiskey Rebellion, it would have made things worse. Thomas Jefferson hated what he called the “infernal” whiskey tax. He understood that one class of Americans was paying a tax burden that all Americans should have been bearing together. So, he repealed the excise tax shortly after he became president.
Other than President Donald Trump, it’s hard to picture any modern leader in American being that mature and intelligent. Even Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has accused the people in Chewbacca bikinis and Captain America costumes who walked into the US Capitol of staging a “terrorist attack.” Good grief, what a bunch of sissies! And we can rest assured none of the people charged with sedition over that peaceful protest will be receiving a pardon from the Commander in Chief.

The US Congress needs to wake up, an they better do it quickly. The citizens are becoming more than upset with their stupidity and arrogance. They think the protest at the Capitol was a terrible thing. They can only push and threaten people so much. Using the military against their own people can cause a reaction they won’t like. And you are getting close. Wake up politicians before it’s to late. Save your country not your ego.
Ironic that the author mentions Hamilton, because he’s one of the Founders I’ve come to despise. Hamilton’s “Elitest” attitudes saturate his writings. Burr did the country a favor when he shot the SOB.
The events of January 6th, were neither a Coup or an Insurrection. Neither was it Domestic Terrorism. It was, what it was, a group of upset citizens who let their emotions control their actions. Nothing more.
I understand why they’re upset. I even agree with their reasons for being upset, as should every citizen in this country. They weren’t attempting to overthrow the government. They were crying out at what they see as a failure of the government, and I agree with them, except I question exactly what they expected the government to do.
I’ve a list I’ve compiled of what I call “Founder F***ups). I’ve compiled the list for over 40 years, and it contains things that were done in the writing of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, where collectively, the Founders lacked the Foresight, to see what would happen. Some are textural, some are ambiguous, and all were just plain myopic. One of those, was Elections. The Founders believed that State Legislatures should decide how their elections should be done. While this was very Democratic, it failed to address what elections would become. Today, we have 50 sets of rules governing elections, and therein lies the basic Fustercluck our elections have become.
Had the events of January 6th been a real Coup, it would have succeeded. I don’t care how many security precautions/deterrents are in place, We the People, acting in a concerted and dedicated fashion would have overwhelmed security. It’s a matter of numbers. 50,000 National Guards would have been overwhelmed by 1 or 2 million people, who would also have been armed. We can discuss the terrible weapons are military could use against the citizens, but it’s still a moot point, because our military cannot stand up to 330,000,000 people, even if only half of them were armed. Especially if a significant percentage are willing to sacrifice their life to a cause.
January 6th proved to me, just how broken our government is. Totally out of touch with the country. They act in their best interests, not the country’s. That a cabal of wealthy elitests control the government, and that our government, and their Propaganda Apparatchik (the media), will lie, obfuscate, deflect and tyrannize its citizens to stay in power. The repercussions of January 6th have only begun, as the Elites put us in our place.
No, neither an Insurrection or Coup took place, but if our government doesn’t heed the warning January 6th was (in the narcissism they won’t), they’ll face a real Insurrection very soon. It will be bloody, brutal and the loss of life will be horrendous, but in the end, we’ll be holding Special Elections for a new litter of Congress Critters.
Both John and the Bemused Berserker are right. If the Biden/Harris administration keeps this up much longer, there will be a REAL insurrection that will cost a large number of lives and cause grief that this nation hasn’t experienced since 9/11.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Your uppance is coming.
Are you cereal, he’s been president for 5 minutes and he’s already better than George Washington wow sure glad im an idiot
Besides ANTIFA and BLM, the ONLY REAL insurrectionists, TRAITORS and TERRORISTS, in the US are the Democrats and the RINOS. They are the ones who are violating and attacking the Constitution and the rights of the American citizens. Instead of rushing to Washington, DC to protect and defend the Biden/Harris administration and the corrupt Congress that allowed them them to usurp power after a fraudulent election, The National Guard should have been rounding up the real insurgents who carried out the overthrow of the government. Since the National Guard failed to live up to and honor their oath to defend the Constitution and the country against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic, they, also are guilty of HIGH TREASON against the United States for AIDING and ABETTING in the OVERTHROW of our Constitutional Republic. Due to their failure to do what was the right and moral thing to do, I have now lost all respect for the military.
As cancel culture arises , they can cancel this stupid notions of insurrection . If Republicans continue to appease the Democratic party of evil , than it’s THERE BAD ! wake up your being dragged into the pits of hell . There wasting your time and our money .
The truth is some of the far left staged the whole thing To make it look like a riot. The far left is not the Democrats I grew up with . The people claiming to be Democrats are liars, thieves and right down evil. It doesn’t matter if we’re a Democrat or Republicans, we need to look at the whole picture and really see what is happening with our country. If we don’t get the far left under control, we’ll all suffer and I’m not talking about missing a few meal. We will lose all our rights and the way of life as we know it today. God bless us and keep under your care.
George Washington was a REAL man, willing to stand up for his beliefs and fight for our great nation, against all odds…….without him we would still be under Britan……….read your history books…I see that they no longer teach history but you might find some books in the library before they are banned………..there are also some decent movies if you don’t read………Sons of Liberty, 3 parts about what brought the war about & the beginning of it & the Declaration of Independence………..and the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibbons which shows the war to its finish……………you know you can only prod a worm so long before it will turn……………
That kerfuffle in Washington January was no insurrection in spite of the screeching by the Leftist Democrats. Out of everything that has happened throughout 2020, this was nothing but a storm in a teacup. If it was an insurrection, those idiots that went on a tour of the Capitol Building would have done a whole lot more than steal a few souvenirs; Pelosi and her crew would have had a lot more to worry about than the possibility of the election certification being overturned . Lastly, there absolutely NO comparison to the Whiskey Rebellion…those guys meant business.
I just love how people love to sit back, down a beer while pissing and moaning over the crap going on today!
WE THE PEOPLE (aka SILENT MAJORITY) have had countless opportunities to have stopped this nightmare, but we chose instead to give the DEMOCRATS what they expected of us, to REMAIN SILENT! Thus, making us equally complicit in the fraud perpetrated against United States Americans!
Isn’t it time you actually did something, took action?
I strongly urge everyone who reads this to PICK UP THE PHONE and call your REP AND SENATORS in DC and DEMAND a COMPLETE AUDIT AND INVESTIGATION into the 2020 ELECTIONS and for the IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT OF BIDEN AND HARRIS.
BIDEN is completely UNFIT FOR OFFICE! And they both (BIDEN & HARRIS) have family members putting them both in a CONCLICT of interest position advertising and promoting their businesses and using their VP and POTUS both as an advertising self-interest, self-promoting position and it is ILLEGAL!
When making the calls, keep in mind to be respectful but aggressive too! All calls, E-Mails and faxes are logged into the congressional database, and each week a statistical report is provided to all 535 members ranking highest to lowest numbers of calls, e-mails and faxes received on specific topics.
Also, copy and paste the information into an E-Mail and send to all your friends and family asking them to do the same thing, then forward on to their friends, and so on. We need to flood their offices with calls and E-Mails!
People should write these numbers down and use them frequently even if you don’t think your elected officials listen, they are required to note your comments for the permanent record in their caller database for anyone to see.

Wow, I really do LOVE seeing true AMERICANS TELLING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. Let’s throw a little more into the pile of HORSE PUCKY. Please people do something more. Get on your puters, oh, you are already there or you wouldn’t be reading this. Now folks look up antifa.com. Now, I personally don’t give a rats behind what canada feels about the proud boys, what I do care about is maybe a RECALL VOTE OR A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE TO GET THOSE THEIVES AND LIARS OUT OF OUR CAPITOL, and I do mean all of them. They are the insurrectionists. Let’s take out the DNC and take the millions that they have, to help put this country back on it’s feet again. Washington was not a politician, that I know of, although I think most of the others were. Then comes Trump, also not a politician, He starts running things like a business, and that SCARES THE HADES OUT OF THOSE POLITICIANS. Who are they to know more about how to run our LIVES. They know nothing and we need to wake them up by putting them off of the Gov’t. dole. Not one of you upper echelon DEMON-RATS IS FOLLOWING UP ON YOUR OATH OF OFFICE. YOU ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND THE ENEMY OF THE U S A. Please leave this country before you are brought up on charges of insurrection and Treason, which is what you deserve
DO THESE ‘REGIME CHANGE’ PUTSCHES NEVER END?
For anyone who has not seen what really happened from November onwards – and before: Read TIME magazine of 15 Feb 21, pages 32 and following: RARELY HAVE I SEEN BEFORE SUCH A CONFESSION OF HIGH TREASON!
The TIME article details what the authors themselves call “A CABAL” a “CONSPIRACY UNFOLDING BEHIND THE SCENES”, the “FIGHT BLACK TABLE”, the secretive “ANALYST INSTITUTE” – BIG BUSINESS (the Chamber of Commerce) AND UNION BOSSES (FL-CIO) aligned with EUGENICISTS (PP), PRESS, MEDIA, FILM, and ENTERTAINMENT BOSSES created an ALLIANCE TO FORCE THE PUBLIC TOWARDS BIDEN.
If one reads this article which depicts such a DESTRUCTION OF VOTING FREEDOM as “Rescuing Democracy”, the methods of Mr. Hitler and Goebbels come to mind: The same happened in Germany in preparation for 1933:
THE ASSEMBLY OF FINANCE AND INDUSTRY was addressed by Hitler and voted to support his party, for “Rescuing Germany from Communism” – and he had, from then on FREE MONEY AND PUBLIC OPINION!!!
As Biden and his Party had before and throughout 2020.
Such an UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT AGAINST GOVERNMENT IS REALLY WHAT INDURGENCY MEANS!
Done in such a way of a ‘REGIME CHANGE CONSPIRACY’ (just as Mr. Biden helped in Kiev) it is TREASON!
I hope I’ll hear this article read in the Senate! With this in the background, who could accuse any angry citizens from storming an ongoing TREASON?

Biden vs Washington? You can’t compare the two. Washington was a great person. Biden’s a rapist, pedophile, and a pervert. I’m sure Biden is a great pedophile is you compare him to other pedophiles. But, he is not a president in anyway shape or form. He is a traitor and draft dodger, but not a comparable president to anyone. I hope he gets the white house basement remodeled to his liking soon. He needs a place to hide, oops, does the new wall cover the white house too?
Great info JDavis, appreciate it!
