American Revolution Déjà Vu

A growing percentage of Americans support secession during a time when the federal government’s actions mirror those of the British Parliament 250 years ago.

American Revolution Déjà Vu

NOQ Report Is Moving to AmericaFirstReport.com

In polling conducted by Bright Line Watch and YouGov last month, Americans across the country were asked the following survey question: “Would you support or oppose [your state] seceding from the United States to join a new union with [list of states in new union]?”  Based upon respondents’ answers to this poll, somewhere between 32% and 44% of each geographic region’s population support secession in the United States.

In the South, 66% of Republicans and 50% of non-affiliated independents believe their region should break away from the federal government.  Similarly, 47% of Democrats in the Pacific region and 39% of Democrats in the Northeast support seceding from the Union.  Bright Line Watch attempts to frame these results with a warning: “[W]e caution that this survey item reflects initial reactions by respondents about an issue that they are very unlikely to have considered carefully.”  The Western Journal, which reported on the “staggering” numbers, suggests that, had the question of secession been put more bluntly — such as, “Do you want a Civil War?” — the “numbers would surely have been much lower.”

What if both Bright Line Watch and The Western Journal are being too optimistic?  Is it not entirely possible that in one of the most divisive eras in U.S. history, Americans have actually “considered carefully” the issue of secession?  Is it not also possible, given the daily bloodlust encouraged by blue-check authoritarians on Twitter against their political enemies, that the idea of violent war might sound even more appealing to some than an uneventful and peaceful parting of the ways among the states?  What if Joe Biden’s threat to use nuclear weapons and F-15s against American citizens to prevent pushback against the federal government only convinces more Americans that dissolution of the Union is not only inevitable but also necessary to save lives?

If Americans could be guaranteed a peaceful breakup, would those in favor of secession skyrocket past 90%, or have the bitter divisions separating Americans become so cancerous that the prospects for political amputation and bloodshed aren’t even blips on their radar anymore?  Whether Americans are salivating for Civil War or are willing to prevent one by preemptively separating into smaller political units, the growing national mood toward secession shouldn’t be discounted.

We’ve been here before.  Two hundred and fifty years ago, neither King George III nor the British Parliament anticipated that American colonists would engage in Civil War against their “Mother Country.”  In 1763, colonial militia and British regulars were still jointly engaged in combat against the French on the American frontier at the tail end of the Seven Years’ War.  By 1775, they would be fighting each other at the Battles of Lexington and Concord and then Bunker Hill.  What happened during those consequential twelve years that changed the course of history?  Probably the most succinct answer is this: ordinary Americans began seeing the Crown’s power over their lives as morally illegitimate.

The colonies had enjoyed a high degree of self-governance and autonomy since their inception, but the British Parliament determined that it was high time for the colonies to pay their “fair share” for maintaining the British Empire.  Instead of finding the end of the French and Indian War a financial boon, Americans found themselves on the receiving end of the Sugar Act in ’64, the Stamp Act of ’65, and the Townsend Acts of ’67, all of which insinuated the Crown into the normal course of colonial trade with unexpected tax demands and odious regulations.

When the British moved troops from Halifax to Boston in 1768 to assert control over “noisy patriots” in Massachusetts — an action that contemporary historian Mercy Otis Warren deemed would be “mark[ed] with infamy” nearly two centuries before FDR lifted her phrase — more and more Americans began to resent British authority.  Being taxed without proper representation in Parliament was bad enough, but enduring egregious violations of the Standing Army Act while British troops intimidated colonists through outright occupation caused many Americans to question the very foundations of the Crown’s jurisdiction over them.  The heavy-handedness of the British in response to colonial resistance led directly to the Boston Massacre in 1770.

After Parliament passed another tax in the form of the Tea Act in ’73 and the Sons of Liberty held a little Tea Party in its honor, Parliament threw down the gauntlet with the Intolerable Acts in ’74 — coercive laws that were meant primarily to punish Massachusetts for its rebelliousness but ended up galvanizing all thirteen colonies against a common tormentor.  A “shot heard round the world” a short time later, and the world order changed forever.

Now look at the last twenty years in the United States through a similar lens.  After a surprise attack by Islamic terrorists at the beginning of the millennium, Americans of all stripes united to fight a common foe.  National debt used to finance the effort spiraled out of control, and in order to maintain the government’s unsustainable budgets, the Federal Reserve began indirectly taxing poor and middle class Americans by engaging in the unprecedented use of quantitative easing to print dollars on demand.

Over time, the war against Islamic terrorism mutated into a war on generic “terrorism” which morphed into an asinine war on “extremism” abroad before inexplicably becoming a war on “extremism” here at home.  At the same time, the very tools created by Congress and President Bush to fight enemies abroad — the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, FISA Court surveillance — became tools used to spy on and target American citizens at home.  When Obama and the Democrats used the 2008 financial crisis to shove Obamacare down Americans’ throats against their will, Americans revolted by voting the bums out in 2010.

When that didn’t work, they sent a complete outsider to the White House to take on the federal government’s entrenched corruption in 2016.  Again, the permanent government in D.C. undermined the peoples’ vote first by engaging in a fraudulent disinformation campaign to frame the sitting president as a Russian agent and then engaging in a fraudulent election in 2020 by unconstitutionally injecting unverified mail-in ballots into the vote in violation of state law.  Finally, when Americans held another Tea Party to protest for “free and fair” representation, the federal government threw down the gauntlet by arresting and intimidating “noisy patriots” en masse.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, when the British Parliament lost legitimacy, Thomas Paine provided the framework for a new American legitimacy based on Natural Law, individual liberty, and the consent of those governed.  The Declaration of Independence and a new nation emerged from that framework.  One wonders whether history will repeat yet again.



American Patriots Uniting to Fight Tyranny from, Well, Everywhere

We’re building a new conservative news network. Based on responses from fellow patriots, we’re heading in the right direction.

It may be hard to believe based on what we’re seeing around the nation today, but there are many reasons to be hopeful. First and foremost, the false narrative that most of America hates traditional values or the foundations of our nation are finally being proven false. Despite the best efforts of globalists and Neo-Marxists, patriotic Americans are starting to unify in droves. Meanwhile, Joe Biden can barely muster a half-filled auditorium to deliver his message to the scant few watching CNN and the paid shills in the “crowd.”

The “silent majority” that drove Donald Trump to victory in 2016 and 2020 (yes, he won by a landslide but was robbed along with the American people) is finally starting to realize we cannot stay silent any longer. We used to win with our votes, but those are being stolen. We used to win with truth, but the radical left and their agents in mainstream media, Big Tech, and academia are building a post-truth society to drown out reality. Today, we are waking up to the realization that only through direct action and fearlessly spreading the truth can we overcome the nefarious forces working against us.

We are proud to be working our way up to the tip of the conservative media spear. Our network is growing. We’re establishing strong partnerships with like-minded news outlets and courageous journalists. Even as Big Tech suppresses us, the honest messages they’re trying to quash are finding their way to the eyes and ears of patriots across the nation. With the help of new content partners like The Epoch Times and The Liberty Daily, we’re starting to see a real impact.

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:

  • NOQ Report
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Truth. Based. Media.
  • Freedom First Network
  • Based Underground
  • Uncanceled News
  • American Conservative Movement
  • Conservative Playbook
  • Our Gold Guy

Some of our content is spread across all of these sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.

The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).

To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $2200-$7800 per month. May, 2021, for example, was amazing and we almost broke even. June, revenue was sluggish at best and we had to make up a big difference out of our pockets. But we’re not just trying to get out of the red. If and when we start getting enough contributions to expand, we will do just that. Very few get into journalism to try to get rich and we’re definitely not among those who do. Our success is driven by spreading the truth, profitable or not.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8

Time is short. As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down

Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.

For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.

Thank you and God bless!
