by Catherine Mortensen: Today marks 247 years since a group of Massachusetts patriots known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Indians and snuck aboard three tea ships docked in the Boston Harbor. Once aboard the ships the men dumped and destroyed every one of the 342 boxes of tea sent by the East India Company.
These actions were in defiance of Britain's new Tea Act, which set forth more rules and restrictions regarding the colonies ability to trade and carry tea. The British attempt to raise revenue by taxing tea and other things spurred the events of the Boston tea party which sparked the American Revolution and set the framework for gaining America's independence.
The colonists were rebelling less against taxation than they were the lack of representation in the matter. They had no voice in their governance. And that is exactly how millions of American patriots feel today. They believe they have been disenfranchised by widespread election fraud, and by key states braking election laws in direct violation of the Constitution.
Representation (or lack thereof) is the issue then and now.
And for anyone who fears that talk of a second Boston Tea Party sounds like embarking on a trip to Crazy Town, consider how crazy it would have been dressing up as a Mohawk Indian on a cold December night and dumping tea into the icy waters of the Boston harbor.
Clay Clark is an Oklahoma small business consultant and host of the conservative Thrive Time Radio Show who hears from listeners across the country every day who are frustrated and angry and looking for where to channel their outrage.
"Republicans and Democrats who reject the Deep State are coming together to form a new party," Clark said. "It doesn't have a name yet, but I am calling it the Patriot Party. It is made up of people who love God, our individual freedoms, and we believe that government should be instituted amongst men to ensure our individual liberties, whereas the Deep State mindset believes a big government is needed to limit our individual freedom."
To be clear, Clark is not calling for a second Boston Tea Party. Instead, he believes we are headed for a "civil war of information." He offers three key actions patriots can take now to fight for freedom.
1. Stop getting news from bad sources. Go to new conservative news outlets. Some of his favorites include:
Newsmax TV
One America News
Just the News
"Be careful about the news and information that you allow into your family's homes and hearts," Clark adds. He notes that his radio show, along with many other conservative news outlets, has seen a huge increase in listeners since the election. "Did I get that much better? No, I didn't. It's just that people have been lied to and they are discovering that the mainstream media is bought and paid for by large corporations with deep ties to the Communists."
