For 10 years now,
we have been writing a weekly column covering the thorny issues that Americans
are facing every day. We have included valuable information, opinion, a
little inspiration and have even made attempts to get people to act against
growing government abuses to our individual, unalienable rights. Our focus
has been on what is wrong in America and the dire problems she faces. We
have added our voice to the tens of thousands of other purveyors of the
conservative message. The problems we and other authors write about, are
worthy of constant attention since it is only through repetition that our
messages will finally sink into the general public where the power for true
change lies.
However, after 10 years of focusing on the negative and trying
to get people to respond to the negative with concrete action, it has become
abundantly apparent that our singular efforts are having little effect.
Consequently, we have decided to use our writing talents to focus on the
positive where our readers can see that some individual or a small group has
beaten our hopelessly corrupt and purposely complex systems and forced the
government to turn tail and run.
Just about every movie we see focuses on a single individual
that beats the odds and prevails against overwhelming forces. People love
stories of Mountain men, trail blazers, wagon train masters, honest sheriffs
that tame the town; pilots who defeat the enemy in the air with great flying
skills; the hero that turns the tide of battle by heroic efforts; the citizen
acting alone and at great personal risk exposes corruption; the mother who
protects her young with strengths she never knew she had; or a David that
vanquishes Goliath. We yearn to hear about the winner because wining is
rare and life is so full of those that lose.
When we are up against an intractable and seemingly unbeatable
enemy, we long to hear stories where the enemy has lost and the people have
won. Sadly, the American government, at all levels, has become that
enemy. These stories of victory give us hope and provide the motivation to
continue on with our fight. Constantly focusing on the negative without
solutions only makes us frustrated and robs us of our motivation and the will to
fight. We need to know that someone has won. We need to know that
someone went over the wall, or under the wall, or around the wall, or through
the wall, using their main strength and awkwardness, or some specific tool that
he or she discovered while working to right a wrong, or expose corruption, or to
reverse an injustice.
All across this great land we know there are men and women who
have challenged government abuses and unconstitutional law and came out the
winner. Yes, these events are far fewer than the stories of those who lost
their battle with government. Since government is now into every aspect of
our lives, these challenges grow by the day and people seem to be losing every
day to this onslaught. Nevertheless, a few are winning. The people
and the government have become mortal enemies and it was never supposed to
happen this way in a free and sovereign land. Government was supposed to
be the servant, not the master. Government has become the master and the
"servants" are growing restless ….. very restless! Some of the restless go
after government and win.
In order to give these positive stories a voice, we have
renamed our column "The NARLO Chronicles." It is to those stories of
victory over tyranny we devote this column. The column will contain true
stories of unsung heroes on the battlefield against government, their
sacrifices, their losses and their victories, as immortalized in "
The NARLO
Chronicles." It is our full
intent to inspire our readers rather than fill them with dread from all that has
gone wrong in America.
If you have a story where you prevailed over government, or if
you know of someone who took government on and won, we want to use our influence
as a seasoned author to share these stories with our national audience. If
you triumphed over the IRS, or the EPA, or the BLM, or a local or state
government agency, please contact us. We want to bring your story to
life.
To that end, we have created a "
CHRONCILES" web page on the NARLO website that provides the details of how
you, or someone you know, can share their victory with every day people
throughout America, using our column. We intend that these stories not
only provide a human-interest slant, but also share what tools or methods the
individual used to win. We are currently working on a story where an
individual poked his finger in the eye of the IRS and pulled out a stunning
victory. He studied the law and used it against them.
America needs these stories at this pivotal time in its
history. Help us bring these great stories of heroism and victory to a
wide national audience and start injecting real hope into the people of America,
instead of a daily barrage of negativity, doom and gloom. Please join with
us in breathing life into "
The NARLO
Chronicles." Forward this article to your list, or
put the word out on Facebook and Twitter. Let's get some positive energy
flowing through America again. The American people aren't losers they are
winners and it is way past time to start winning again.
Finally, we are pulling back on our weekly column and
publishing two articles per month, one covering the usual subjects we have been
hitting for the last 10 years and the second article will be taken from the
annals of "
The NARLO
Chronicles." An archives web
page has been created on the NARLO website HERE and each NARLO Chronicle article will be uploaded to that page,
referenced by title and date. An archive of previous articles we have
written under the "In Defense of Rural America" banner is still
available HERE.
None of this will detour us from continuing to be an advocate
for the American rural landowner, as delineated in our highly informational
website, the "
National Association of Rural
Landowners," (NARLO)
Life is a fight, ladies and gentlemen, a fight to stay alive
and a fight to keep others from taking your life, your possessions, or your
liberty from you. The fight is eternal and gets even harder when we let
apathy, indifference and ignorance replace awareness, knowledge and wisdom in
our lives. We can win this battle, but like all battles, it "ain't"
easy. We may even have to call upon the:
"Life Force Within Us"
"In all living things a life force
resides.
The will to survive is
paramount.
Living is a battle and you have to
take sides,
For to do otherwise, the soul that is
you will not count."
