RTR HISTORY

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”   Frederick Douglass

What started as Defeat The Mandates, an historic idea to bring together the world’s leading COVID-19 dissidents in the early days of the vaccine mandates, and Rage Against The War Machine in the wake of the Ukrainian conflict, has now become today’s Rescue the Republic: Join The Resistance. 

The same team of visionary leaders who organized and rose up to send the strong message of “We will not comply” are raising voices once again to protest the ongoing dismantling and destruction of Western values across the globe.

On Sunday, September 29th we will come together on the sacred grounds between the WWII Memorial and the Washington Monument to rally again and say with one voice:

“We will NOT COMPLY with tyranny! We will RESCUE THE REPUBLIC!”

OVERVIEW

This is our moment to defend and celebrate the values and principles that have made America and the West the freest, fairest and most productive society the world has ever known. At its heart the West is an agreement to distribute opportunity as widely as possible, and to allow the market to reward those who produce wealth from which we collectively benefit. Our civilization today is in grave danger and every single principle on which the West is based is under simultaneous threat. This moment demands radical change and requires liberals, conservatives, and independents of every color and creed to unify to rescue the West.

RESCUING WESTERN VALUES

The West aims to level the playing field and distribute opportunity as widely as possible.

Today the West is in grave danger as every single principle upon which it is based is under simultaneous threat.

These principles include:
– Freedom of speech, assembly and religion
– Presumption of innocence
– The right to privacy
– The consent of the governed being the sole basis for governmental legitimacy
– Equal protection under the law
– A color-blind society
– Property rights
– The right to challenge evidence and confront witnesses
– The right to informed consent

INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ASSAULT

 Western values and democratic principles have been weakened, degraded and dismantled by expanding and increasingly entrenched industrial complexes, often led by radical ideologues.

Masquerading as the voice of the people, unholy alliances between big business, government and philanthropic organizations pose an existential threat to the West.
