In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century where the currents of change often erode the bedrock of our societal values, the call for patriotic activism rings out with renewed urgency.
"Empowered 2 ACT: Maintaining The Pillars of Patriotism," is not merely a response to this call—it is a clarion call of its own, a manifesto for those who stand on the front lines in defense of liberty, tradition, and the enduring principles that constitute the foundation of our society.

“In a landmark decision for the U.S workforce, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 3–2 to ban most non-compete agreements. These agreements prohibit employees from leaving to work for a competitor or launch a rival enterprise. The new rule automatically terminates most current contracts, forbidding businesses from using them in the future. The FTC says the ruling will encourage innovation.
‘Non-compete clauses keep wages low, suppress new ideas, and rob the American economy of dynamism, including from the more than 8,500 new startups that would be created a year once noncompetes are banned,’ FTC Chair Lina M. Khan said in a statement. ‘The FTC’s final rule to ban non-competes will ensure Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market.’
Following a 90-day public comment period, the FTC released a proposed rule in January 2023. Almost 25,000 of the more than 26,000 comments the FTC received on the proposed rule supported the agency’s ban on non-compete agreements. The comments informed the FTC’s final rulemaking process.
The FTC says it examined the comments and modified the proposed rule in response to public input. According to agency estimates, about 18 percent of the American workforce, or 30 million workers, are covered by a noncompete agreement.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
This is a very slick trojan horse move… and it worked to perfection.
The FTC, an agency of un-elected bureaucrats, created a strawman argument that the enemy of innovation exists, yet they failed to share that there is legal recourse for this, it’s a state issue, and that by making a “ruling” on it all, they now have more power to make other rulings…
You just got played.
Our co-publisher RC Williams made it make sense:
R.C. Williams, an economist and co-founder of Watchmen Action, has been subject to a non-compete agreement at a broadcast company. He speculates that companies use them because they can.
“I understand if there is a legitimate concern that an employee might take intellectual property, but you can’t stop someone from working, especially if they aren’t taking trade secrets,” said Mr. Williams.
Mr. Williams’s more considerable concern is the growing power of government agencies.
“These three letter agencies rule by fiat, said Williams. “They throw the baby out with the bathwater. It’s the epitome of government overreach.”

“Wounded and limping, doubting its own future, American journalism seems to be losing a quality that carried it through a century and a half of trials: its swagger.
Swagger is the conformity-killing practice of journalism, often done in defiance of authority and custom, to tell a true story in its completeness, no matter whom it might offend. It causes some people to subscribe and others to cancel their subscriptions, and gives journalists the necessary courage and direction to do their best work.
Swagger was once journalism’s calling card, but in recent decades it’s been sidelined. In some venues, reporters now do their work with all the passion of an accountant, and it shows in their guarded, couched and equivocating copy. Instead of relishing controversy, today’s newsrooms shy away from publishing true stories that someone might claim cause “harm” — that modern term that covers all emotional distress — or even worse, which could offend powerful interests.
Every aging generation of journalists must have complained, at one point or another, about swagger’s demise. But this time, the fall is demonstrable. A recent piece by Max Tani in Semafor attributed the new timidity to legal threats from subjects of news stories.
‘In 2024, it’s harder than ever to get a tough story out in the United States of America,’ Tani writes, citing the risk of lawsuits and increased insurance premiums. The new equation ‘has given public figures growing leverage over the journalists who now increasingly carry their water.’”
THINGS TO PONDER:
It’s all about the money, honey!
Most news outlets started to realize that:
Audiences had finally figured out they were being played by them;
That their ad masters held all the cards and could put them out of business;
And they had no choice but to bend to their money master’s will.
That’s the perfect storm for “fake news.”
But it’s deeper than that…
Here’s why: Operation Mocking Bird and the weakening of the Smith-Mundt Act were done by design so that this would happen… so that media could become polarized and controlled.

“Scientists have developed a new vaccine that could protect against a wide variety of coronaviruses, including some that haven’t been discovered yet, The Guardian reported. University of Cambridge researchers say this experimental vaccine is a step toward creating vaccines before a pandemic begins.
Experts from Oxford, Cambridge, and Caltech in California are collaborating to design a vaccine that can be developed ahead of the next pandemic threat, DailyMail reported. The experimental vaccine, which has so far only been tested on mice, works by teaching the immune system to recognize key components of various coronaviruses—a group of viruses including Covid, SARS, and MERS.
‘We’ve shown that a relatively simple vaccine can still provide a scattershot response across a range of different viruses,’ said Rory Hills, a graduate researcher at the University of Cambridge and first author of the report. ‘It takes us one step forward towards our goal of creating vaccines before a pandemic has even started.’
THINGS TO PONDER:
So we’re clear: Some of the same people who created a “gene therapy” that’s now proven to make people sick, including the acceleration of “turbo cancer,” are now telling you that they can cure things that haven’t been discovered yet…
WHAT?
Folks, don’t get played by these people. Based on the roll-out of the mRNA injection, you can’t be sure what you’d actually get.
