One of the greatest war speeches of all time was given by General Enrique Gorostieta Delarde, spiking the enthusiasm of the Cristeros. Seconds before leading his men into battle, with little Jose as the flag bearer, he proclaimed this:
Today we are going to send a message. We are going to send a message to Calles and to the rest of the world, that freedom is not just for writers, and for politicians and for fancy documents. Freedom is our homes, our wives, our children, our faith. Freedom is our lives, and we will defend it or die trying. It is not only our duty to defend it, but it is our right. You must remember that men will fire bullets, but God decides where they land. Viva Cristo Rey! Y viva! Viva Cristo Rey! Y viva! Viva Cristo Rey! Y viva!
Now, I’ve previously been of the opinion that it would be foolish for a bunch of people to try to take down a government. Governments even like little uprisings so that they can have an excuse to quash them and, with that, make people all the more submissive to abuse of power. That was what many said at the start of the Catholic rebellion in Mexico in the 1920s. But then the greatest military leader of Mexico took up the lead, and before you knew it, concessions were in hand.
I think that Obama’s idea (in his Marxist way) is to force a Catholic rebellion here in America in our time by trying to force Catholics to pay for the murder of children in the womb by way of his Obamacare. The present law makes things difficult for any rebels. Anyone who rebels — even in thought — is automatically entitled a terrorist, and is lawfully whisked away to Gitmo without anyone knowing it, with no lawyers possible, until the person dies. I’m talking about life-long U.S. citizens by the way.
However, there’s one premise missing from that scenario. Obama is counting on the military. But all Obama has done is to upset the military, particularly our special ops, black ops crowd, the CIA, the FBI, the Navy Seals, DEVGRU… Not too smart on the part of our islamophile.
I keep hearing until this very day that our military is not supportive of Obama’s moves to be at the ready to impose Martial Law in the face of a popular rebellion. Why would he think there is surely going to be a popular rebellion coming up soon? I keep hearing that our law enforcement agencies want absolutely nothing to do with it. To quote: “Hell, no!” Interesting.
Let’s just repeat what the General said:
Freedom is not just for writers, and for politicians and for fancy documents. Freedom is our homes, our wives, our children, our faith. Freedom is our lives, and we will defend it or die trying. It is not only our duty to defend it, but it is our right.
Now, in saying all this, I’m not in any way saying that taking up arms in self-defense – if it should seem like it’s coming to that – is the way to go. Not at all. Clear?
Instead, there is another way. Peaceful means. No paying into the Obamacare death tax. That will mean revenge by the Obamacare politbureau. Even imprisonment. But you can’t imprison everyone. And pretty much all religious denominations have called themselves Catholic concerning this issue of religious freedom. There’s no economy in the world, especially the U.S. economy right now, that can imprison so many people. I would call on people to just let themselves get imprisoned. As the economy goes down the tubes altogether, truly a threat to national security in a military sense, that is when it will be deemed by the military that enough is enough, and they will call Obama a traitor, as indeed he is, in every way. Political prisoners, martyrs of conscience, will be freed, and we will move on. I think that anything more than that on the part of any would be rebels would not be just. Why, again? Because there are viable peaceful means, that’s why.




Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






Great ideas Father. I have long argued that all we have left is civil disobedience and the witness of our lives as Catholics. If we just close schools, hospitals and adoption agencies just to name a few places, we are simply doing what Obama and his ilk want and betraying Christ in the process. What is needed is for Catholics and Catholic organizations to simply say “no” to unjust laws and then wait and see what, if anything Obama will do about it. He is a man like many others who does not want to be seen as a tyrant and so by disobeying by the thousands and refusing to do his bidding we put the ball back in his court so to speak so that if he really wants to enforce his unjust laws he will have to do so at the barrel of a gun—something he will hopefully be hesitant to do. And if he does use violent means at least his true colors come out for all the world to see.
We are living through a very important “turning point” in the history of this nation that hinges n far more than just an election. Let us pray that all of us Catholics are up to the task ahead of us even if it may mean we must pay with the ultimate sacrafice—our lives.
And just for the record I am also not advocating violence or violent revolutions, merely prayer and civil disobedience.
