Patriots across America are more likely to resist government overreach than submit to a forced draft or globalist war plan. With record gun ownership among constitutional advocates, upholding civil liberties takes precedence over military conscription rhetoric from global elites preparing to create a war from thin air. 1 2 But what if no one wants to fight? What if patriotic Americans reject the draft and challenge totalitarian control by defying Biden administration mandates? 3 1

Millions are prepared to defend against government overreach while exposing the war plans of global elites like the WHO and WEF. From resisting vaccine passport enforcement to preventing a totalitarian U.S. state, patriots are ready for civil war over the draft rather than acquiesce to NDAA’s impact on automatic selective service registration. 1 2

Understanding the Historical Context of Conscription in the U.S.: A look back at the roots of conscription in the United States

The United States first instituted military conscription during the American Civil War. As the war entered its third season, Congress, needing more manpower for the Union Army, passed the Civil War Military Draft Act of 1863 [11]. 4 The act called for registration of all males between the ages of 20 and 45, yet the obligation fell mainly on the poor as wealthier men could afford to hire a substitute or pay $300 for a draft exemption—an enormous sum at the time [11]. 4 This controversial provision sparked civil unrest and draft riots, with the most destructive being the New York Draft Riots, where at least 119 people died [11]. 4 5

Overview of Past Drafts: Examining previous drafts and the resilient American response against them.

President Woodrow Wilson signed the Selective Services Act on May 18, 1917, in preparation for U.S. involvement in World War I, requiring all men between 21 and 30 to register [11]. 4 By the war’s end, roughly 24 million had registered, and 2.8 million were drafted, though the draft was dissolved after the war. 4 In September 1940, Congress passed the Burke-Wadsworth Act, imposing the first peacetime draft in U.S. history [11] [12]. 4

Draft resistance peaked during the Vietnam War as U.S. casualties mounted and disillusionment spread. 4 Each month, as many as 40,000 young men were drafted, while some evaded by failing to register or fleeing the country, with nearly 210,000 charged with draft evasion. 4 In 1977, President Carter pardoned all Vietnam War draft dodgers. 4

Public Sentiment During Draft Periods: Emphasizing the consistent anti-draft stance and the patriotic resistance throughout history.

The issue of compulsory military service has been contested in the U.S. since its founding, with tension between individual liberty and civic duty. 5 Before the 20th century, conscription occurred mainly through local militias. 5 The Civil War drafts were unpopular and largely ineffective in the North. 5 During World War I, over 1,900 criminal prosecutions involved anti-war or anti-draft speech, with conscientious objectors persecuted. 1

Conscription for the Civil War was so unpopular that Union “enrollment officers” were frequently murdered, with fewer than half of eligible men enrolling in some states. 1 In the Confederacy, armed refusers formed large groups throughout the South. 1 During World War II, tens of thousands refused military service through outright resistance or conscientious objection. 1 The Vietnam draft also faced widespread resistance through legal means, draft counseling, and civil disobedience. 1

Modern-Day Threats and Public Perspective

Current Globalist Agendas: Unveiling the global elites’ plans to create a war from thin air and enforce conscription

The issue of conscription has resurfaced in the U.S. political discourse, with some Republicans advocating for a form of national service to prepare for “great-power competition” and maintain America’s global leadership role. 6 7 Christopher Miller, a former Trump administration defense official, proposed that all high school students receiving federal funding should take aptitude tests for potential military positions, improving recruiters’ access. 6 7 This aligns with the conservative Heritage Foundation’s vision for a second Trump term, outlined in Project 25. 6 7

While Trump has denied plans to reinstate the draft, other Republicans like Senator J.D. Vance have voiced support for national service, arguing that more Americans should “put some skin in the game.” 6 7 The Republican-controlled House even passed a bill that would automatically enroll young men aged 18-24 for Selective Service, despite the draft ending in 1973. 6 7 However, this provision faced little Democrat support in the Senate. 6 7

Critics argue that these efforts are part of a broader agenda by global elites to manufacture a war “from thin air” and enforce conscription, disregarding public sentiment and civil liberties. 6 7 They contend that the draft is becoming a talking point to prepare for potential global conflicts amidst concerns over U.S. military recruitment challenges. 6 7

Public Surveys and Polls on Conscription: Recent polls indicate a strong public sentiment against forced conscription and government overreach

Recent public opinion polls and surveys suggest a solid opposition to the reinstatement of the draft and forced conscription in the United States. A 2022 Gallup poll found that 79% of Americans oppose reinstating the military draft, with only 19% in favor. 8 This sentiment cuts across party lines, with 82% of Democrats, 77% of Republicans, and 78% of independents expressing opposition to conscription. 8

Furthermore, a 2021 Pew Research Center survey revealed that 63% of Americans believe that using military force to maintain order in the country would go too far, indicating a reluctance to accept government overreach and potential martial law. 8 This aligns with the broader public sentiment against excessive government control and infringement on civil liberties.

These polls and surveys highlight the significant public resistance that attempts to reinstate the draft or enforce conscription would likely face. This resistance reflects the deeply rooted American values of freedom and limited government intervention in personal choices.

Militias and Civil Liberties Advocates

Role of Militias in Historical Context: A discussion on how militias have historically defended American freedoms and opposed government tyranny

Militias have played a significant role in defending American freedoms and opposing government overreach throughout history. In the aftermath of the American Revolution, many believed it was their constitutional duty as citizens to be heavily armed and prepared to defend themselves against threats, including potential tyranny from the government [13]. Militia members saw themselves as upholding the ideals of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution by limiting the overreaching actions of central authorities. This legacy of defending American freedoms empowers us to resist government overreach and forced conscription.

During the Civil War, conscription was highly unpopular, with Union “enrollment officers” frequently murdered and fewer than half of eligible men enrolling in some states. 1 In the Confederacy, armed groups of refusers formed throughout the South to resist the draft. 1 This resistance to forced conscription highlighted the deep-rooted American values of individual liberty and opposition to government overreach.

Current Advocates Against Forced Conscription: Highlighting modern militias and civil liberties advocates ready to resist forced conscription and globalist agendas.

In recent years, militia groups and civil liberties advocates have reorganized and ramped up recruitment efforts, often using social media platforms like Facebook to coordinate local activities and oppose perceived threats to American freedoms. 9 These groups view themselves as “true patriots” ready to defend the Constitution against government overreach, including potential attempts to reinstate the draft or enforce conscription. 9

Many militia members believe they must remain heavily armed and prepared for various scenarios, ranging from natural disasters to foreign invasion or even civil unrest. 10 They see their visible presence and exercise of Second Amendment rights as a deterrent against government tyranny. 10 With concerns over potential global conflicts and conscription rhetoric from some political figures, these groups are mobilizing to resist forced conscription and what they perceive as globalist agendas threatening American sovereignty. 9

Conclusion

The push for conscription and the rhetoric of impending global conflicts by elite groups like the WEF and WHO should be met with skepticism and resistance from patriotic Americans. While these globalist organizations may claim to be predicting wars, their actions suggest they are actively preparing to create conflicts from thin air to further their agendas. Public sentiment overwhelmingly opposes the reinstatement of the draft and excessive government overreach, reflecting the deep-rooted American values of individual liberty and limited state intervention.

What if no one wants to fight? What if Americans are more likely to go to war with the government than submit to the draft? The nationalist spirit that has fueled civil liberties advocates and militia movements throughout history remains strong, with many ready to defy forced conscription and reject elite factions’ creation of global wars. Ultimately, the defiance of patriotic Americans could be a significant roadblock to the globalist agendas of manufacturing conflicts and undermining national sovereignty.

FAQs

1. What are the Patriots’ priorities for this draft?

The Patriots urgently need a franchise quarterback. Suppose Jayden Daniels is chosen second overall by the Commanders, as anticipated. In that case, the Patriots will have the option to select either Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy.

2. How did the Patriots perform in the recent draft?

In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Patriots made eight picks over three days. Remarkably, for the first time since 1969, they chose offensive players with their first five selections. The team started with quarterback Drake Maye and then added wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk and offensive tackle Caedan Wallace on the second day.
