Thoughtful writings from Taylor Johnatakis – J6 Hostage and Author fromPeasants Perspective

 

Remember- 2/11/2024 

Engraved on the inside of my wedding band is the most powerful word of all, Lembre-Se, which is Portuguese (my wife and I met in Brazil) for REMEMBER.
 
It is upon the word remember that all knowledge is based. It is remembering what brought pain or pleasure that directs the instinct of man. Remembering takes lessons of the past, applies them to the present so that we can better choose our future.
 
Those who seek control, want to get you to forget. History repeats itself, to those who do not remember its lessons and patterns. Those whose fruit is bitter, want you to forget the awful taste and take another bite.
 
Remember why we fought for freedom, why we died for rights, remember what price was paid for truth and we will never go astray. If we forget, we must experience every pain again, every price paid twice or more, and truth will be forgotten.
 
Remember who, what, when, where, and why and the future CAN be smoother sailing.
Government is built on consent, do we REMEMBER what that means? We would be wise to remember the landmark Supreme Court Case Erie v. Tompkins (304 U.S. 64, 58 S. Ct. 817, 82 L.Ed 1188) which holds there is no Federal General Common Law, it’s all Commercial…REMEMBER.
=============================================
Taylor and many others swept away from their families, work, and friends for the exercise of their First Amendment rights on January 6, have shared amazing insight and wisdom with us. Whether in writing, a call into a vigil, or posted to a website through the efforts of spouses and friends, they’ve given us an education we didn’t expect along this journey.
With permission, we highlight and share many of the pearls we’ve picked up along the way. In the coming days and weeks, we’ll build a suitable showcase for their material and point you to their rightful home pages.
Stay tuned.
