Member training from February 23rd 2026.
In tonight’s training, we covered essential strategies for building our knowledge and influence in the fight for liberty, emphasizing the importance of our reading list to deepen understanding of principles that have forged free nations while exposing the satanic conspiracy we face and organizing an effective resistance against it. We discussed the real revolution through four key actions, encouraging active participation to not just reveal threats but to counter them.

TRANSCRIPT
Heavenly Father, we’re grateful to meet once again tonight to discuss the things of liberty. We ask you to help us to understand, to increase our knowledge, and to increase our influence in spreading these things abroad so that we can have more people willing and able to participate in this discussion and in this fight. And we say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
So again, of course, everything that we do is to build our knowledge, and we are encouraging you to do different things. We have our reading list, and I hope you’re going through that every week and being able to build your understanding and your knowledge so that we can build understanding amongst ourselves as well as adherence to the principles that have built free nations, expose the satanic conspiracy that we face, and of course, build an effective resistance to that conspiracy. It doesn’t do us any good to expose them if we don’t organize to resist them.
Okay, so the real revolution I mentioned, these four things that we all need to be doing. We have the unity through division. We have understanding, morality, and defense. So I’ll go through all four of those in order. The first one, of course, being unity. And this going back to ancient Rome. And we all know that Rome, of course, was a pagan society.
polytheistic society, and they don’t have, of course, the same religious values that we do, but they understood, even with that, the importance, this is a true principle of what they’re, you know, of the unity amongst the people. Even if they’re not going to have the same religion as us, they recognized that unity in government and in values is important. He wrote that those who attempt to distort our religion
With strange rights you should abhor and punish not merely for the sake of the gods, for if a man despises these, he will not pay honor to any other being. But because such men, by bringing in new divinities in the place of old, persuade many to adopt foreign practices from which spring up conspiracies, factions, and cabals, which are not profitable to monarchy.
Do not therefore permit anyone to be an atheist or a sorcerer. So to me, there are several important things that we bring out, and I think it’s really interesting things. The atheist or the sorcerer. So no society, you don’t have to be a Christian society or a Bible-based society to recognize that being an atheist or a witch of some kind is not…
becoming of a society those are those are divisions that are um harmful to a society uh simon yes i just uh you know what year this was or about the first sentence okay if i remember correctly so also he talks about how you know those that uh bringing in new divinities and why that was so important you know you can just imagine how
just even in our own society right if you were to under when you undermine christianity you are undermining the values that our society is based on and the same thing there their their values their laws were based on the authority of their gods and so when you went into roman society with a different set of gods excuse me you had a different set of values where you were introducing a different set of values that undermined that society
And so a society to be stable needs to be based on a cohesive moral structure as well as political structure. We’ve talked about Huffendorf in the past where he talked about how the people that came together to form a government needed to be united because when you give government power, you have to be on the same page on what that power is used for. And we see here the same thing where…
in a society in a culture uh it’s it’s vital that there are basic uh foundations that everyone is united on otherwise you’re going to have the degradation of society where people come in with these different values they conspire together to undermine the current structure and which undermines the values and that leads to uh that chaos and the depravity that comes in into a society
under those conditions that wouldn’t happen if uh you were in a unified society the same thing the uh another roman historian tacitus in his book germania talked about why germany was so hard to overcome even though they were um not christian at this at this point in history uh the people in germany were united in the sense that you know in their government and in their religion
and did not allow outside sources to come in and didn’t even allow their people really to go out um and and then come back because they knew that they were going to bring in the strange influences of these foreign societies and because of that unity um it was very difficult for rome over hundreds of years to be able to have any sort of impact on taking over that society and so we see that in ancient
uh pagan societies as well as in throughout the scriptures in leviticus the lord says ye shall be holy unto me for i the lord am holy and have severed you from other people that ye should be mine okay he’s saying that he cut you off he separated them from egypt so that he so that the people would be his they wouldn’t have these intermingling uh value systems uh vying for power
In Ezra, we’re commanded to separate ourselves from the people of the land and from the strange wives. So not marrying women from different cultures and societies because they brought in their cultures, which they were going to raise the children. And of course, what is that going to do to the next generation? How that affects the next generation. It’s vital that these separations and these divisions.
occur. In Matthew, the Lord says, before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divided his sheep from the goats. So in the future time, there is going to be a point where those people that are living up to certain standards are going to be there, and he’s going to separate them from those that are not. Second Corinthians, same thing, wherefore come out from among them and be separate, saith the Lord.
And touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you. And then Brigham Young talked about this importance of unity. He says, you all know and have doubtless felt for years the necessity of a removal provided the government should not be sufficiently protective to allow us to worship God according to the dictates of our own consciences and of the omnipotent voice of eternal truth.
Two cannot walk together except they be agreed. So that’s an Old Testament and a New Testament concept. And clearly the United States at this point was not living up to the principles of the Constitution. And so he was saying if we cannot be on the same page, we have to separate ourselves. And so bringing up that scripture that Brigham Young alludes to in 2 Corinthians 6,
says, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Baal, Belil? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I dwell in them and walk in them.
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you. So we’re talking about the temple of God, doesn’t have idols in it, right? What kind of corruption would that be? And in the same sense, a society has to have that same thing. And I think, you know, as the Latter-day Saints, we’re not…
of the of the same culture as the people of the united states they had to separate themselves in that same context and you know that’s that is just a a principle that is uh universal where we can see that with the barbarian societies the pagan societies the christian societies and so on um it’s it’s just a a correct principle otherwise you have the clashing you have the undermining
You the the issues that arise are not something that is something to be avoided. You can avoid it to a certain extent for a certain amount of time. But eventually that ball that you throw up in the air is going to fall down. This is one of those natural law principles that no matter what society we’re talking about, that unity is necessary. This isn’t saying that. So if you know that.
We would attack every nation that was not of our faith. We’re not going to attack Rome because they’re pagan. We’re not going to attack Germania because they are pagan as well. We just say, okay, you Germans, you do your thing over in Germany. You Romans, you do your things in Germany. And our societies will be safe. And we will be able to be more friendly because we are not intermingling in those ways.
Mark, yes. Yes, it sounds like what you’re saying that we can’t do this at a national level in the world, with over 200 countries. We have to separate from the current nation states because we can’t support people throughout the nation to create this society. We have to separate first into the society and then deport from that society, that political religious society.
Am I seeing it kind of realistically? Yeah, I mean, that’s kind of where we have to separate because, you know, we’re not going to say, oh, you guys have to leave wherever you’re at. A people that are of one heart and one mind, they have to come together separate from those that are of different values. So we can go down the street and find every atheist and deport them from the country. Exactly. That’d be ridiculous and unfair and unreasonable.
And I think it’d be wicked, frankly. And so we ourselves have to be the ones that say, okay, we are of the same mindset of what government should be used for. We need to gather together and separate from people that believe that fascism, communism, et cetera, are good things. They can fight amongst themselves if they think that melting pot’s going to work. It’s not. It’s natural. It’s just, it is impossible. And everybody that’s studied civilizations knows that it’s impossible.
Let me ask one more question that makes what you just said. So you say they can fight among themselves. Well, your church knows all too well. They don’t limit it to fighting among themselves. They go after the people that separate it. And so once you separate, you have to defend yourself and you have to not allow those things to enter amongst you, for sure. That’s what we’re going to get into. So knowledge is the next vital ingredient in a society.
And Trencher and Gordon in Cato’s letters said that hence it is that we everywhere find tyranny and imposture, ignorance and slavery joined together. Wherever truth is dangerous, liberty is precarious. OK, so these are where you find these things together. If you’re ignorant, you’re a slave. Right. You have tyranny because an imposture. These things are joined together. And then, of course, where knowledge and understanding of the truth, that’s dangerous.
Liberty is not going to be able to survive. John Adams said that liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people. He understood that ignorance was not going to work with liberty. The prophet Isaiah says, therefore, my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. That’s what Amos said as well. Then Thomas Jefferson, he said, if a nation expects to be ignorant and free.
In a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves, nor can they be safe with them without information. So if we want to be free, it’s clear that we have to be willing to invest in our own education and knowledge. Yes, Carmen. Carmen? Okay, I’m sorry. I had to… You’re good.
Melting pot won’t work. It is impossible. Knowledge is vital. And then you said, if you’re ignorant, you’re a slave. And then this is the one I want clarification on. Ignorance does not work with liberty. Correct. Is that a question? Because I’m not getting it. Ignorance cannot work. So if you are going to remain uninformed.
on the principles of nature and of liberty and of righteousness and of how tyrants work, you are going to be a slave. You are going to be easily manipulated by those that want to enslave you because you are ignorant. And so an ignorant person is governed by their passions. And so they will manipulate you with your emotions.
And, you know, they’ll come up with slogans like, you know, it’s for the children. You know, you don’t want people to go hungry, do you? And so they will enact different things to be able to, or like, you know, with immigration, be like, you know, they’ll give you false dichotomies of these two choices that are false choices, and you’ll fall for it because you don’t understand history, you don’t understand nature, and so they will be able to enslave you. Okay. Simon.
Kind of reminds me of the quote from Joseph Smith who said that we can’t be saved in our ignorance. We cannot have liberty or the right to choose the right without some form of education or educating ourselves on what is actually liberty or what the right choice is. Yeah, absolutely. Marcus Aurelius, he wrote that,
a you know uh
is the number one investment that an individual should make. And that is in time and that is in money. Books aren’t free and they don’t read themselves and so they take time to read. Getting a tutor to work with you is not free. And so it takes the time to be with the tutor. It takes the money to be with the tutor. And so that investment in knowledge is an investment in liberty because you cannot have
liberty in your ignorance so that goes to the third one which is morality and i think this one really encompasses them all because if you’re immoral you’re not going to do the other things uh mark yes yes um i wanted to just the point you just made i wanted to mention that quote from thomas jefferson if you ever go to memorial it’s up up on the uh a wall that he has pledged um i don’t have it in front of me but
He has pled eternal hostility against the tyranny over the minds of men. Not tyranny over men, he said, over the minds of men. Oh, yeah, that’s good. And what he’s applying there, the importance of education, of liberty and tyranny. Yep. Thank you. Absolutely. So morality. Oh, before we get, sorry, I don’t mean to cut you guys off. Who got here? Simon, yes.
Sorry, I just think it’s interesting that tyranny happens. Like, I really like that quote from Mark. Tyranny happens before it gets physical and forceful. It is over. It is in the mind. It is a head game. Yep. Absolutely. Thank you. Okay, so morality. Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America says, liberty cannot be established without morality.
nor morality without faith. Now, I think this is a really interesting quote, too, because he’s this European historian, right, French historian, and he’s coming to America, and he’s writing this book, and he’s doing this research to find out why is America different than Europe, right? We are all, you know, at that point, basically Europeans. We all came from the same, essentially, background. Why was America different?
Why were we able to do something that the French couldn’t do, that the English couldn’t do? And one of the things that he understood and explained was morality, right? The French Revolution was satanic, not just because it was controlled by Lucifer and his conspiracy, but because it was run by an immoral people. So they had a…
You know, they had a ruling class over them that was tyrannical. And that’s, you know, and so they were able to use that, those, you know, those pain points to get people to go along with the revolution. But it did not work because the people themselves were not moral. And so an American, a current American revolution, which is going back to what I talked about last week.
America today is as immoral, if not more immoral than the French of the French Revolution timeframe. And so if we were to have a similar revolution to try and get rid of our corrupt and tyrannical leaders, we would have basically a French Revolution 2.0 because we are not a moral people. Adams again says public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private and public virtue.
is the only foundation of republics i don’t know if that’s it might i’ve talked to some people and that’s the way people talk back then might be a little bit uh hard to to understand so i’ll maybe break it down so you we will not see virtuous public officials if the people themselves are not virtuous okay so that comes the the people’s virtue comes before the virtue of those in office and public virtue is the only foundation of republics and so
You will not have a republic without virtuous leaders, but you won’t have virtuous leaders without a virtuous people. And so each, you know, there are some people that have postulated the idea that America, you know, that the people have to, you know, to be able to have liberty, we have to, in the 5,000-year leap specifically, says that we have to have moral leaders. And it leaves out the morality of the people. And the morality of the people is the foundation.
You will not have moral leaders without a moral people. And so building a culture of morality amongst the masses is essential for a society. Okay. Simon, yes. It’s just another interesting concept. You cannot have a moral society with just its leaders being moral. They will rebel against it. They will fight against it.
They will throw off the moral leadership if they themselves are not moral. Yeah, absolutely. They will rebel against it. They will vote against it. And also, even more foundational is where do the leaders come from? They come from the people. So they would have no moral people to choose from if they were not moral. And so we have all those dichotomies going on.
or those all those elements going on i should say for sure okay so uh benjamin franklin said only a virtuous people are capable of freedom as nations become more corrupt or become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters this is a pretty famous quote i’m sure we’ve all heard it probably a million times but that is a vital also thing that is just like we talked about the previous one it’s amazing how today people speak without saying anything
Whereas this generation, they spoke in principles. They spoke in ways that applied to every time. And this is just a simple, this is a principle. This is a law that is unbreakable, where if the people themselves are not moral, they will have to, because their immorality is not just, you know, it’s not limited to one thing. The immorality expands out to every aspect of society.
And so there is then a need to, because everybody else, even though they’re immoral, they still don’t want their stuff taken. They still don’t want to be hurt, right? They still don’t want to be assaulted or murdered or robbed. They still don’t want their wives cheating on them. They don’t want their wives raped. They don’t want their daughters raped. And so when you have a society that is completely immoral, you need a bigger government. You need a tyrannical government.
to be able to keep in check the people uh as a whole you know the more of them there are the more uh tyranny is needed to be able to keep them in check so that they’re not um and so that they can at least pretend that they’re trying to protect the people from the horrors of the immoral people which is everyone and so if everybody’s immoral then everybody’s
to need a master. Simon, yes. We see this in the Book of Mormon where the corruption throughout the land bred corrupt judges and conspiracies. And we’re seeing it now where wicked people are breeding corrupt government officials. Thank you. Absolutely.
And then in Discourses, Alderman Sidney says, where the body of the people is corrupted, good laws do no good. And so it’s that thing that goes along with what Franklin was saying, right? It’s this circular motion, this circular logic or these circular actions of I’m immoral, and so I need somebody to rule over me, but because I’m immoral, I’m not going to obey them.
and so i’m not going to obey them so i need more rules over me and i’m not going to obey those and so i need more rules and so if the people themselves there’s no laws that are going to hold them back it’s like gun laws you know all these different uh rules to try and uh you punish the innocent to go after the guilty well the guilty aren’t going to obey those things and so laws themselves that are good are not going to actually help the immoral people
And so what is actually going to stop the immoral people but force? They will need to come in there and go after the innocent. They will have to even, and then even the guilty will have to have a boot on them on the things they might not even be guilty of. But because of the general depravity of the people, the boot needs to be on everybody’s head. And so you cannot have the people themselves corrupted if you want.
a free society. It’s just not going to work. It’s just so clear how all of these are the same as gravity. There is nothing that can be done to change the result of a wicked society. And conversely, there is no tyranny that can take hold on a moral society. A moral society will identify it because they’re informed.
Right. A moral person will do the duty of informing themselves and they will be able to recognize the tyranny before it hits. If the tyranny continues on, a moral person will then take the physical steps to prevent the tyranny from expanding. And so a moral society is incapable of tyranny long term.
And an immoral society is incapable of liberty. Which brings us to the… Yeah, okay. Mark, yes. Mark? Here, I forgot to take off the mic. So if we see any tyranny in our culture, our society, then that’s an indication that there’s immorality of a major sort that must be eliminated. Exactly. Absolutely. Inseparable. So defense?
Joseph Smith said that here is one principle, which is eternal. It is the duty of all men to protect their lives and the lives of their household. And no power has a right to forbid it. Okay, so that is not only a right, but a duty that we have to protect our family, wives, children from.
someone else trying to harm them whether that’s an individual like a robber or if that’s a group of people uh or a tyrant and in a revelation to the prophet joseph the lord said verily i the lord say unto you if the church with one united effort perform their duties okay so and then if they so what are their duties right if they perform their duties their duties are from this time forth
Like Joseph in Egypt, laying up store against the time of famine, every man having his tent, his horses, his chariots, and his armory. Okay, so that’s their duty. Have food, tent, clothing, houses, and your ability to defend yourself, your armory, your guns, your weapons. That’s your duty as a man. If those things are not kept,
So if we don’t live up to our duty and our responsibility to have the ability to defend our families and our communities, then there is a scourge upon us from the Lord. St. George Tucker explains that wherever standing armies are kept up,
And the right of the people to keep and bear arms is under any color of pretext whatsoever. Prohibited liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. So if there’s any reason that the government uses to take away your weapons or prevent you from being able to own a weapon, to be able to buy a new weapon, any weapon, then your liberty is, if not already gone.
is on the brink of being destroyed. Again, these guys, they spoke in if this, then that’s. There is no like, oh, that’s just their opinion or that’s just an interesting idea or a thought. They were observing the natural consequence of history. Throughout time, no matter what kind of government they had, no matter what kind of religion they had, if they did this, this was the result.
It was just going to happen. And so that’s why being able to defend yourself, being able to against any power. So if a power has more armories than you, then that means you are in danger, if not already, under their thumb, under a tyranny from them. And so you need those things to be able to be a free people. And then Noah Webster.
explaining the constitution says before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be on any pretense raised in the United States.
A military force of the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceived to be just and constitutional, for they will possess the power and jealously will instantly inspire the inclination to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive. Okay, so he’s explaining the moral duty of what happens when a people that have the ability…
to defend themselves will the action that they will take because they cannot the military cannot execute the unnatural laws
unless the people feel that they are just inconstitutional. Because if you have the ability to defend yourself, you won’t just protest, right? You’re not going to just complain about it. You’re not going to just write a letter. You’re not going to wait until the election because then that action is already taking place. You can’t wait for an election to get a new ruler that will hopefully change the rules of the previous tyrant. He’s saying that you resist the execution of the law.
Through force. If you’re a moral person, that is what you will do. You will use physical force to make sure that an immoral law is not implemented, is not executed. Mark? Yeah, that kind of value is what gave us a concrete Lexington, isn’t it? Yeah, absolutely. I was hoping I could interject for a moment. Go ahead.
I was confused with these phone commands. I’m a little late. Back to the immoral people to give some examples of how these things can look. I think one of the most pointed examples in my personal experience was when we went to the Kuwahara. We were doing stuff with the Kuwahara thing where they had like a farmer’s market.
i don’t know what it’s called they grew they grew and sold vegetables and fruits and whatever yeah and like and as you notice a lot of these kind of mom and pop businesses so i’ve noticed a number of times it’s like it happened as well with the sage and plow or alpine food storage anyone’s aware like basically the conspiracy says oh you guys you’ve outgrown where you’re at so you can’t do business anymore which is what happened to kuahara they’re like you got too many people showing up so we got to shut you down
And so you got to leave, you got to go, you got to move to something else, something with more commercial liability. And, and so like they had a town meeting and it was on the agenda. And just like the, the Alex, Alex Kualhara did like a really good job, like networking and getting people to show up. It was very impressive. But what happened was, was like all, nobody talked about freedom.
There was well over 100 people there that showed up to a city council meeting for Kuala, which doesn’t happen. And nobody talked about the government being tyrannical, save myself and another person who I was connected with. Everyone was just about saying, like, oh, there’s such good people, we can’t do this to them. Like, oh, there’s like…
It was like, you know, it would be a shame, you know, if I had to go a little farther to get my fruit. Like, there was nothing. It was just like, even the people who showed up, who went so out of their way for this thing that was attacking their fellow neighbor, they were so immoral that they couldn’t even recognize that it was immoral what the government was doing. They were thinking that it was just some type of favor.
You know, make an exception because it’s a nice thing to do. Right. And when you look at it in that lens, you know, it’s very radical. Even the people who were positive for the guy, you know, were just so rotten and moral. Right. Yeah. And anyway, there’s my bit. Thank you. Yep. Agreed. So just like the ball that is dropped, it will fall, right? That is the natural what is going to happen.
A community that maintains these things will succeed. And a community that ignores and loses these things will collapse. And it’s not even like, hey, we got at least half of it. We’re going to be okay. No, you lose one of these things and you’re toast. The other things will collapse from underneath it. And so it is essential that if we are going to rebuild liberty, we must have this. And this is why I’ve talked about the things that we’ve talked about.
Why they’re so radical and why, you know, the hard work of what I’m talking about is something that hardly anybody is willing to do. That’s why we fall back to, oh, we better, you know, beg these Satanists for permission to, you know, do this or that. Oh, we better, you know, elect somebody else. Otherwise, somebody worse is going to get in there. We fall back to the things that don’t work.
Because what does work is hard. And I would never claim that it isn’t hard and that it won’t take sacrifice and that it’s not going to take an effort and that there isn’t risk. Because all of these things require risk, require work. And taking risk and work to do the right thing takes morality. It all comes together again.
And so it is a reflection of where we’re at as individuals as much as it is of society when we’re faltering in one way in any of these things. And so in a lot of these things that we need to all look at ourselves. I look at these things and I’m like, man, I need to do better at this. Oh, man, I need to do better at that. And so it’s something that I’m not saying that I’m perfect at all of these things. I’m saying that.
These are truths that we’ve recognized and that are eternal. And so let’s start getting to work on these things. Let’s do better on these things. Let’s ensure that we are making sure that these things are not something that we are neglecting. Simon. Sorry for the sporadic. I’m catching half of it, but I just got out of the canyon. But one of the things that comes to mind is an old, I think.
I think you shared it with me once, that there’s an old text from like a Germanic tribe or like journals or something where as the tyrant falls, the individual claims, out loud claims that he’s won his land back. And that is his right to the land because he has slain the tyrant.
I can’t remember the exact reference, but I remember something along the lines of him declaring his right to his homeland again because the tyrant has been slain. We’ve come a long way from that. That’s for sure. It’s a reflection, right? All righty. So it’s important for us to look at those things and make sure that we’re refreshing ourselves. We’re going through the member manual and we’re saying, okay, how can I do better at this? How can I implement this?
How can I help others apply these principles as well? How can we unify ourselves? Going back to that principle, right, is unity through division. And so we would need to be able to find people that we can unify with and so that we can defend ourselves. Because, again, how do you defend yourself?
You’ve got your shotgun and your AR-15 and you’ve got the SWAT team showing up because you’ve refused to get a permit for your garden, which shockingly, almost every city technically requires you to do, but nobody enforces it. But what if they started enforcing that law, right? And we all commit three felonies a day. What if they decided to start enforcing those and you’re by yourself and how are you going to defend that?
The unity through division and then building our understanding, our morality, and then defending those things, we can’t do without any of them. We have to have them all. And I hope that we will all rededicate ourselves to building our understanding on these things and then applying those things. We’ve got about six minutes left. Open it up to Q&A. Simon. When these Epstein files came out, there was a guy that…
uh posted something i can’t remember who it was but he said one of the things we do we you need to do i think he was a former fbi agent he basically just said i have no trust in the in this criminal justice system here’s what you need to do in order to to prepare because none of this is legitimate um he says you basically find four or five friends and you that you
you can make a vow or a promise to, to come to their aid when they’re in trouble and they would do the same for you. I found that pretty interesting, not coming from a former FBI agent who’s lost his, been disenchanted with him, what he belonged to. Yeah, that’s interesting. True principle. Mark. Yes, your number three and four requirements of liberty.
Number three is often referred to as values, the morality, ethics. So that’s your Judeo-Christian values. That’s God’s law. And then number four is virtues. So you have the quote from Ben Franklin, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. So the two go hand in hand. First, you really have to have the values. They have godly values. And that includes knowledge.
like the political ideology of liberty that the founding fathers founded this country on. And then number four, the defense, is where your virtue stands. Virtue means that you’re standing behind the values, whether you’re putting your life at risk, whether you’re going to lose years of labor, whatever is required to stand uncompromisingly and logically.
you know being discerning and and so forth behind those that that law behind that morality uh so that when people talk about values of virtue we need to clearly understand what they are one is the values you you support and then the other one is your action to uncompromisingly show your support for them yep absolutely thank you i did have one other thing i wanted to get that quote because
This quote’s one of the most important ones to me. Personally, I’ve done the same thing that Jefferson did, and I wanted to say it exactly as he said it.
