Perseverance is the trait of a person or group that continues to make an effort despite difficulty or the difficulty of the task. A powerful desire to keep doing something challenging or to keep trying to achieve something tough. It may be a person with an extreme desire to keep doing something and a focus on achieving a specific goal. It is a force of will.

We believe every voice matters in shaping the future of our nation. Guided by the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice, our joint mission is to empower and engage citizens to take an active role in restoring America to its founding ideals. Through education, advocacy, and community action, we at the Stand Up America US Foundation provide tools, books, articles, radio/TV interviews, information, and opportunities to help you make a difference. Together, we can restore the values of freedom and liberty, which ensure a brighter, freer future for all.

Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth. This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light. Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed. Rather than fostering unity and a deeper understanding of our shared past, the widespread effort to rewrite history deepens societal divides. It promotes a sense of national shame, disregarding the progress America has made and the ideals that continue to inspire millions around the globe.

It is no wonder that talk of revolution is in the air. It’s been going on for some time, and most Americans are only just now starting to realize it.

Anarcho-tyranny is a concept in which the state is argued to be more interested in controlling citizens so they do not oppose the managerial class (tyranny) than in controlling real criminals (causing anarchy). Laws are argued to be enforced only selectively, depending on what is perceived to be beneficial for the ruling elite. The concept was successfully exploited during the Russian Revolution by Trotsky (1905), who became President of the Soviet a few months later. Full Communism later replaced it under Stalin. Trotsky fled, but he was hunted down and assassinated in Mexico in 1940.

It is Socialism. Marxism, or Communism that we are facing in our society. Our dangerously chaotic, selectively oppressive predicament is more accurately described as “anarcho-tyranny.” The late conservative columnist Sam Francis first coined the term in 1992 to diagnose a condition of “both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny — the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes.” This, and the toxic combination of “pandemic panic” and “George Floyd derangement syndrome” has thoroughly destroyed the home of the brave. America has become a paradise for the depraved and dictatorial.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Sir Winston Churchill

America and its future are greatly dependent on you the People and its persistence. America’s Founders established the United States on a foundation of rock-solid principles that allowed our country to become the strongest and most prosperous bastion of freedom and liberty in the world. These principles included the limited republican government of, by, and for the people, private property, a written Constitution, equality of man before God and the law, and individual rights that come from God, not the government. Those rights include freedom of speech, religion, and assembly as well as due process of law.

These founding principles led to the development of a set of values unique to America and Americans. These values include individualism, personal responsibility, equal opportunity, looking to the future, learning from the past, achievement, a positive work ethic, efficiency, practicality, informality, upward mobility, success, humanitarianism, and patriotism. The founding principles coupled with these traditional American values set our country apart from all others in ways that benefitted not just our citizens but the entire world and made the United States the destination of choice for immigrants worldwide.

Patriotic Americans are saying, “enough is enough.” When LTG McInerney and I wrote America’s End Game for the 21st Century: A Blueprint for Saving Our Country it was to provide a gameplan for patriotic Americans who reject the Marxist left-wing idealogues. Our blueprint for saving America contains seven critical strategies for defeating leftist ideologues and restoring our country to the principles and values that made it great. These strategies include:

  • Achieving an American spiritual revival
  • Preserving the Constitution and Bill of Rights
  • Reject historical revisionism and refute the big lies of the secular left
  • Preserve capitalism and reject socialism
  • Restore patriotism and love of country
  • Overcome specific domestic threats to America
  • Overcome specific foreign threats to America
