If you dont know anything about LaVoy Finicum or the rancher movement you can look into it. He was a rancher and spokesman for the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom movement. A militia group with at least a few thousand subscribers and around a hundred or so people who were involved in the occupation of the wild life reserve in Oregon. He was murdered and the movement was eventually died. As Jesus said in Matthew 26:31 "All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."
Basically, what the LaVoy Finicum case was is a test conducted by socal psychologists to test how they could handle such a movement, and at the same time test public reaction to the atrocity, and their ability to manipulate public opinion with the media. These tests are offten conducted to measure certain public reactions the same way the food and gas prices would deliberately be spiked up in order to collect data on public spending patterns. The ultimate goal is to create a predictable and manageable population.
Today, LaVoy Finicum's family is struggling and the movement is ceased. It is very unlikely anyone can get anyone to do anything more than rabble behind a computer, which is by design as well. So to summarize, not only would civil war or revolutions fall into the social engineers' hands (read Part 1), but we also have a problem of a complacent, brainwashed society that is helpless without its system of control. This brings us back to my first point. We must unplug ourselves first, and then reach those around us. Surelly, we do not want to be just a building on a corner. We are social beeings and it is natural to want to make positive changes in society.
But, in order to achieve this, it is essential first to be teachable ourselves. The Bible is a solid foundation to build on. As the saying goes, "if you want to win a battle, you must study yourself and the enemy before you fight". Our battle is a spiritual one and the weapons are spiritual. We don't need a wordly leader to save us. We need Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to guide us. Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
The less our beliefs depend on a corporate manipulative controlled system, the more we will be able to put our trust in God and let Him direct our lives. Free will is God-given. Without God, we lose it. A worldly leader cannot save us. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 says "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
These people are like grandmasters of chess, they are very intelligent. They are on a completely different level, and their moves are calculated very precisely. I understand and recognize they are far more intelligent than myself. But yet, they are in pride and lust for power they have blinded themselves from the truth and the true light. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
But all intelligence is not wisdom. In fact, people who are very intelligent can be fools too. Romans 1:22-32 says "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools". This is why loving Jesus is the focal point of our lives and the only way to avoid sin. Sinners willingly bar themselves from true freedom, and they themselves become the purest slaves of sin. Romans 6:20 "For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness."
To wrap up, remember that what ever you do, you need to do it with the mindset of God's Presence with you. A solitary battle it certainly is, but happily, with Jesus's help you never feel alone.
May the Lord give you understanding, grace, mercy and peace be multiplied to you.

Very nice! Great advice! Praise God! "Whom the Lord sets free is free indeed" - John 8:36. If only the majority of Christians understood the profound depth of not only these words but the many more which Christ has given us in His Word; that such words, though spiritual, are inevitably literal as well; that anyone who is spiritually free, will undoubtedly manifest, in some degree, a freedom from this sinful world's system, if having power only to do so by an unanxious and unworrisome attitude.
We need to wean ourselves off of what we have been slowly weaned onto, and made dependent on, and live lives more in accordance with hard-working, hospitable, and "old-fashioned" values, as the Word advises, looking rather to God and the superior system of His Biblically-defined church for our help, where we have long grown accustomed or been raised to look, in our lack of faith, toward this ungodly world's highly esteemed "experts". "Let God Be true, and every man a liar!" - Romans 3:4.
