Thank God she responded to my question right away. It turns out one of my posts in our group did stink of hate. It was judgmental. But no one really caught it but her. It was in a post about the elderly being harassed by the BLM. My title was “ Children AND elderly couples harassed!!!!!! By “protestors”. If you’re blood isn’t boiling, then you’re luke warm and will be spit out.”

At the time of typing it, I was angry. Furious! I recently posted a riot near a children’s hospital where a father and his child was trying to get out of the way. The girl was crying and screaming – terrified! I was full of hate. I wanted to steamroll every rioter I could find. And I know I am not the only one.

All of us are angry. We are under attack. Our way of life and our freedoms have been compromised. Since March, the COVID-19 pandemic has riddled us with misinformation and opinion. No one can get a straight answer yet we rely on memes and disinformation to sift through and find the truth. Truth, it seems, is long lost in an abyss of greed, filth and empires. Where do we find comfort?

First, I apologize to my readers for wanting to spew you out of my mouth. That wasn’t my intentions or thoughts. Sometimes we run off of our emotions and that is not professional. But, I am glad it happened. If I didn’t make that mistake, you wouldn’t have come to my rescue. Since we started Take Oregon Back, we have been posting 90% negative and 10% positive when it comes to articles.

This negativity really gets to you. For me, since March, I have been speaking and working with attorneys, campaigners, recall efforts and even militias trying to figure out what is really going on and what I can do to protect me and my family. My efforts have achieved very little. Grassroots movements also take money and that is something I don’t have in large quantities.

To be honest, I didn’t want to do any of this. I didn’t expect the deep state to act on draconian measures so fast. It’s as if the elite have a deadline or something is standing in their way so they went all in with their chips exposing themselves in return. There has been an exodus of people leaving parties, states and even the country due to the overreach.

Because we see most of the information via the fake news agencies, all of the data is apocalyptic. And to make things worse, they are throwing swine flu and another Covid strain at us giving hints that shutdowns and masks are going to be the “new normal”. I don’t have any answers. I only have my research and opinions in which I came to a point of exhaustion.

The happiness and joyful side of me is fading. The peace and comfort that I had, even in a debt world, had been tucked away slowly as my fight or flight mode turned on. Having to stand in dedicated spots, hold in your allergies and put a mask on has brought out an anger I have never seen in me. It wasn’t a good anger.

I know I am not alone. Today I reflected on why I let a small group of thugs with money remove my peace. Last night as I was praying, I heard a still small voice tell me to stop posting all the bad stuff and find articles in Oregon about the good stuff. Then, the very next day, my friend confirmed that I was giving in to the enemy.

You see, whoever the enemy is, wants us to be angry. They want a civil war BEFORE the elections. They are trying to divide us and make us do stupid things without thinking it through. Hence the people driving through protests and the rioters destroying public and private property. And the media is encouraging it. Rooting for their victors as they apologize by offending any on the left.

$100 million dollars was recently given to BLM to continue their Marxist agenda. How long do we have to endure this takeover of our God given freedoms? November? Is that the date when I can have my peace back? My country back? my freedom back? I don’t think so. Trump getting re-elected will not stop this agenda.

The only thing that will stop this madness is war. Too many people on both sides buy into their own arguments. The day of debating is over. The progressive Marxist agenda is perfectly clear. People were indoctrinated and brainwashed far too long to ever get them back.

History will show a new birth of a nation this year. These are its birth pangs. Will it be the old United States and its constitution or will it be the perverted communist nation with more laws and draconian powers eliminating freedom altogether? There’s no in between. We lost that right when we allowed the enemy in.

As for my peace, it comes and goes. As for my anger, I will work on a more Godly anger. One that is angry at the real enemy and not the fools who fell prey to its deception and traps. I’m going to pray more and hold on to the promises of the Bible and what Jesus taught us and what we are to expect.

Do we listen to Henry Gruver, Ken Peters (both men can be found on YouTube by searching their name and the phrase ‘Prophecy Club’) or Dana Coverstone, all pastors who have had dreams of of Russia and China on American soil with eerily the same stories, or do we listen to Mark Taylor and Kim Clement who prophesied that Trump will be re-elected, the swamp will be drained, a debt jubilee, the media will be dead and a new money system called Nesara will happen?

Whatever the outcome, I know that my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will keep me and my family safe as I am highly favored, mighty and a blessed child of the most high. No plague shall come nigh my dwelling and live. I will put my trust in the Lord even with gritted teeth. I will sing to Him even when I am in prison. As Paul said, “This is but a light affliction.” When it comes to the pain and sorrow of the world.

I hope these past 4 months have shown you who the real enemy is. I hope I gave you enough information to draw your own conclusions and are preparing your house for the coming birth of a new nation. I desire that you find comfort in friends, family and truth as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death. For I will fear no evil. For He is with me. His rod and His staff, they comfort me. I hope you find the same during the uncertain times.

The post How I Found Comfort In Uncertainty appeared first on Take Oregon Back.

Under a “Stay” order forced by Brown earlier today, by Baker County Circuit Judge Matthew Shirtcliff, ruling the lockdown violated emergency powers that can last only 28 days without legislative approval. Approval that was never sought by Brown.

However, Brown’s administration had anticipated this ruling by issuing EO 20-25 on 5/14/20 and suspending 20-03 today. The State of Oregon appealed this to the Oregon Supreme Court arguing that the case be dismissed immediately due to EO 20-03 no longer being in effect as it was suspended already and holds no bearing anymore in the existing suit. The Oregon Supreme Court today put the ruling on hold which the “restrictions will remain in effect while the court hears arguments in the case.”

There is recent precedent here in the case of United States v. State of NY, whereby SCOTUS had originally agreed to hear a 2A case but instead pushed the case back to the appellate courts due to NY rescinding the law in question. SCOTUS said there was no case if the law didn’t exist.

https://www.voanews.com/usa/supreme-court-dismisses-challenge-new-york-gun-law

In a nutshell Brown’s administration is attempting to run out the clock until November and keep Oregon locked down under 20-25, which by the way, also criminalizes any non-compliance under the color of law. Well, it is not the law. EO 20-25 is executive governance by dictatorial fiat. If the existing suit is dismissed it could take weeks to put together another suit to put EO 20-25 into the dust bin of unconstitutionality as we see it. By then our economy will be completely devastated across the entire state with large swaths of small businesses never to return. Period.

Update: From a reader. “Hi James, I’ve seen your recent article, and I”m not sure it’s correct. Here’s my understanding: EO 20-03 was not rescinded and EO 20-25 was issued under the powers granted in 20-03. EO 20-25 was also ruled as null and void. “This court finds that when the Governor utilized the provisions of ORS 433.441 in her executive order, she triggered all the provisions of ORS 433.441 including the time restrictions,” the judge wrote. “By doing so, the executive order [Initial EO 20-03] became null and void beyond the maximum 28-day time period allowed by the statute. Moreover, by not complying with (the) timelines, the Governor’s subsequent Executive Orders 20-05 through 20-25 are also null and void.” Obviously, the courts are still deciding this, but she can’t issue EO 20-25 without having emergency powers, and EO 20-03 was the order that gave her those powers. EO 20-25 didn’t re-issue her emergency powers.

In fact, EO 20-25 specificially states that EO 20-07 through 20-12 are rescinded and replaced. It doesn’t not rescind 20-03. Look at page 12; https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/executive_orders/eo_20-25.pdf

The post Brown’s Next Move To Keep Lockdown Until November appeared first on Take Oregon Back.

But when you’re locked on a page/post of liberals and you are defenseless against their views, the situation presents a problem. Both parties are in the heat of the moment. Nothing really gets heard.

I am guilty of this. A friend of mine posted one of my articles on her wall and asked her friends what their thoughts were. The article and myself got attacked from every angle.

So, I got triggered and responded to every single person on that post which did a lot of harm rather than good. I didn’t use wisdom or judgment and in the end it just pissed them off more.

The following day, I called my cousin whom posted a message on her wall that aimed at conservatives and I felt that she was talking about me.

The call went for an hour as we took our walls down and listened to each other. She made some good and strong points about the lockdown while my view was heard too with the same mentality. The call ended in love and got me thinking.

Regardless of who is wrong or right is irrelevant in the age of information war. Both sides whether left or right are being used to play against each other. Half of America is open for business and the other half is not. This plays to anger at each other which does not help us in our current situation. Is it by design?

Are our elected leaders playing us against each other so that we fight each other instead of unite? On Saturday’s historic rally sponsored by Oregon Uniting For Liberty, a few Antifa members were there trying to disrupt our message. Is this the answer? Protestors, protesting the protestors?

I’ll close with this thought. A woman and her friend showed up to our Friday Rally sponsored by, Leanna Craine’s Facebook group “Take Oregon Back” who also is a writer for us.

I was casting live and passed them which I didn’t think nothing of, when suddenly the woman was upset that I was taking her picture. It got heated for a minute when I apparently diffused the situation by commenting on her glasses, which I adored!

In the end we became friends and I found out later she was far left and something changed her to be there. What was it? The one thing we all have in common and want to restore. Our freedom.

From now on I am going to put aside my opinion and try to post facts. I will try and engage all parties so that we can unite together against tyranny which seems to be playing in Oregon. I will try and not comment when I get triggered and open up my ears and heart instead of hate.

After all, our country was founded on freedom of religion, speech and rights that are being taken for granted. If we don’t unite, there could be civil unrest or worse civil war and that plays right into the hands of our common enemies.

The post Don’t Diss The Liberals appeared first on Take Oregon Back.

But the conclusion is self evident, “This means our liberties are restored by the Oregon Constitution already as of April 7.” And Brown knows this. She’s hoping you are stupid and ignorant to buy her more time to harm Trump and the economy because critical thinkers know this plandemic was a political stunt at the cost of Trump and small business.

Jed continues, “Over the past week, I have studied the Oregon Constitution and some of the relevant statutes, and conferring with an attorney concerning my learnings via email. Friday evening, I had a lengthly conversation with the attorney, confirming what I’ve been suggesting. From my understanding, here’s how the law applies regarding the Oregon Governor’s Executive Orders and emergency powers.

The Oregon Constitution and statutory law give the governor broad powers under an emergency declaration. The Governor’s Executive Orders have not necessarily been unconstitutional concerning their intent and restrictions, especially considering precedence set by case law. But there’s more…

The Governor declared an emergency through Executive Order 20-03 (https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/executive_orders/eo_20-03.pdf) on March 8, 2020, invoking her full emergency powers. The executive order states that the “emergency shall exist for sixty days” from that date. However, the Oregon Constitution Article 10-A Section 6 limits the length of time the Governor is allowed to have such broad emergency powers.

“Section 6. Termination of operation of this Article; extension by Legislative Assembly; transition provisions; limitation on power of Governor to invoke this Article.
(1) Except as provided in subsection(2) of this section, the provisions of sections 1 to 5 of this Article, once invoked, shall cease to be operative not later than 30 days following the date the Governor invoked the provisions of sections 1 to 5 of this Article, or on an earlier date recommended by the Governor and determined by the Legislative Assembly. The Governor may not recommend a date under this subsection unless the Governor finds and declares that the immediate response to the catastrophic disaster has ended.

(2) Prior to expiration of the 30-day limit established in subsection (1) of this section, the Legislative Assembly may extend the operation of sections 1 to 5 of this Article beyond the 30-day limit upon the approval of three-fifths of the members of each house who are able to attend a session described insubsection (3) of section 3 of this Article.” (https://sos.oregon.gov/blue-book/Documents/oregon-constitution.pdf)

I recommend reading all of Article 10-A for yourself, but to summarize the portion above, the Governor’s emergency powers are limited to a maximum of 30 days, unless the Legislative Assembly is convened prior to the expiration of that 30-day period and votes to extend those powers beyond 30 days. This is to protect the people from extended infringment of rights and limit the potential abuse of emergency powers. It requires these broad emergency powers to be temporary.

The 30-day clock started on March 8, 2020, with the declaration of emergency by Executive Order 20-03. All of the other Executive Orders concerning this emergency were under the authorization of emergency powers invoked by that first order. Therefore, these emergency powers, and all executive orders regarding this emergency, became null and void by April 7, 30 days from when she invoked the emergency powers, despite some of the orders having a stated effective period longer than 30 days. The Governor failed to convene the Legislative Assembly before April 7 to extend these powers beyond 30 days, rendering these orders unenforceable at this point. They most likely would not withstand judicial scrutiny.

This means our liberties are restored by the Oregon Constitution already as of April 7. We are free to gather for work, for education, for worship, to open our businesses, to peaceably assemble, and to petition our government for redress of grievances. While potentially bluffed in our ignorance, legally, under the Oregon Constitution, we cannot be cited or arrested for returning to our normal lives at this point. And if we are, we have legal grounds to challenge such action in court, and there are teams of attorneys aware of this and ready to defend against such action. Please note that I am not a legal expert and this should not be considered legal advice. I am sharing my best research and understanding based on my reading and discussion with an attorney. You assume the risk of any actions you take based on this information.

In conclusion, use precaution, and respect other’s rights and wishes to remain at home or in a protective environment, maintain physical distance, or keep their business closed. I know almost 25 people who have had, or likely had, this virus, and it is an ugly sickness. I don’t want to get it, and I don’t want anyone to get it. So I will be careful even though I believe the risk is drastically reduced now, and I will also avoid contact with higher risk people as much as possible. However, I will also resume some normalcy, gather in worship when our church opens, and do my part to help our economy recover. I hope to grow my business back and beyond the levels we were at prior to this virus. And I hope you will join me, respecting our fellow citizens, and proceeding with caution and responsible liberty as we return to work and some normalcy.”
