A Virtue Crusade
It's Time to Build a Nation Free of Government and All Outside Authorities
Throughout history, societies have risen and fallen based on the virtues or vices of their people. When righteousness prevails, civilization flourishes. When corruption spreads unchecked, decline is inevitable. Today, many good men and women find themselves searching for a way to change the world through peaceful and legal means, yet they are met with resistance at every turn. The culture, media, government, banks, and even religious institutions seem aligned against them. But history has shown that those who stand for virtue and truth must not remain silent.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
This is not a call to arms in the traditional sense. It is a call to build—to create a society where virtue is the foundation, where righteousness guides governance, and where evil has no refuge. It is time to move beyond mere resistance to corruption and instead forge something entirely new.
The Moral Imperative of Action
True virtue is not passive. It does not simply tolerate wrongdoing in the name of civility. The Archbishop Chaput reminds us:
"We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty — these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community, tolerance is an important working principle. But it’s never an end itself. In fact, tolerating grave evil within a society is itself a form of serious evil."
This means that true virtue requires discernment, wisdom, and action. It is not enough to identify moral decay—we must build a framework where virtue thrives and vice is expelled.
The Season for Building
There is a time for planning, a time for working, and a time for harvesting. The time for action has come.
The world must witness a new foundation where governance is no longer dictated by external authorities, but by those who live by principles of righteousness.
A system must be created where virtue, not political power, determines the course of society.
Evil and wickedness must have no place in this new order. Corruption, deception, and tyranny must be rejected completely.
A flourishing nation does not rise from idle hopes—it is built through dedication, unity, and perseverance. The time to lay this foundation is now.
Moving Forward with Strategy and Caution
Throughout history, great movements have been undermined not just by external enemies, but by premature exposure and infiltration. It is unwise to openly declare every plan before it is secured.
Sometimes it is unwise to tell your plans to the world, lest your enemies infiltrate your hearts, minds, and homes to undermine and deceive.
Strategic planning is key. The righteous must not only be bold but also shrewd, ensuring that their efforts to establish a virtuous society are not dismantled by those who wish to maintain the current broken system. Every great movement requires a phase of quiet preparation before it emerges into the light.
A Call to the Virtuous
You are not alone. There are countless others who seek truth, justice, and a way to build a life free from corruption. A new era is on the horizon—one where men and women of integrity will reclaim their lives and communities, forging a future where righteousness leads and deception is powerless.
When the time is right, the world will hear our voices. When virtue is the foundation, our actions will shape the course of history.
Let us be wise, righteous, and temperate—yet diligent. The time to begin is now.
