The Spark of 1776: How the Founding Fathers Beat the Empire – And How Real Americans Can Beat the Deep State Today

Real Americans, listen up – the spark that lit the Revolutionary War wasn’t some fairy-tale magic. It was the unbowed fire in the hearts of 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, pledging their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor against the most powerful empire on Earth. They knew the odds: Britain’s 8 million people and professional army versus America’s 2.5 million ragtag farmers and printers. But they fought anyway, because tyranny demanded a response. Five signers were captured and tortured by the British as traitors. Nine died from wounds or hardships of the war. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost sons in battle; two others had sons taken prisoner. They didn’t just talk freedom—they bled for it, sacrificed everything to forge a nation where no king could chain the people.

That spark? It was common sense in action: “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” — the words that rallied the colonies, turned farmers into soldiers, and beat the redcoats against all reason. Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense sold 100,000 copies in months, igniting the fire with plain truth: Monarchy was absurd, independence inevitable. The Founding Fathers didn’t wait for permission—they lit the spark, rallied the remnant, and won.

Now pivot to today: The empire isn’t redcoats; it’s the deep state and corporate machine pulling strings from the shadows. They print the money, funnel it to themselves, buy the corps, rig the elections, and poison our food while we pay the bill. The fight is different—no muskets, no battlefields—but it demands the same spark, the same sacrifices. We don’t have to storm the beaches; we have to stop feeding the beast.

Real Americans, here’s how we keep the spark alive and shatter the cage:

The Founding Fathers didn’t just talk freedom—they sacrificed everything for it. Today, the fight is different, but the sacrifice is the same: we stop feeding the beast and start feeding our own.

Here’s how we do it—and what happens when we do:

• Turn off the TV, stop watching NFL – go to high school games instead. Sacrifice the corporate spectacle for local community. Imagine the impact if every Real American took just a fraction of the money they used to spend on NFL tickets, jerseys, and overpriced stadium beer and poured it into their local high-school football program. Better equipment, better coaching, better facilities, and maybe even extra protein shakes and supplements for the kids who actually wear the pads. One small sacrifice, one massive win for the next generation.
• Stop buying poison food from the 10 giants (Nestlé, PepsiCo, etc.) – grow what you can, buy direct from farmers and ranchers with cash. Sacrifice convenience for health and freedom. When you buy direct, your local farmer keeps 90–100% of the money instead of 50–60% going to corporate middlemen. That means stronger farms, fresher food, and healthier kids. Every dollar you spend at the farm stand is a dollar that doesn’t go to the poison pushers—and it stays in your community, building real wealth instead of feeding the machine.
• Skip the $2k slave-phone and $8 corporate coffee – go local, barter, cut the middleman. Sacrifice the dopamine hit for self-reliance. Every time you skip the corporate coffee shop, you keep $8 in your pocket and send a message to the machine. That $8 can buy a dozen eggs from a local farmer or a pound of raw honey. Multiply that by millions of Real Americans and the corporate giants feel the burn—while your community grows stronger.
• Don’t send kids to the indoctrination mills – teach them at home or in remnant schools. Sacrifice the “prestige” for real education. When you keep your kids out of the system, you save thousands in tuition and keep your tax dollars from funding the very propaganda you hate. Those savings can go toward books, tools, or even starting a community school that teaches real history, real skills, and real values.
• Pay cash everywhere – no digital trail, no sales tax on raw goods. Sacrifice the “ease” for untraceable independence. Every cash transaction is a vote against the surveillance state. No bank records, no IRS 1099s, no government cut. You keep more of your money, the deep state gets less, and the cage loses another link.

These aren’t big, dramatic sacrifices—they’re daily, quiet acts of defiance. The Founding Fathers gave their lives, homes, and sons. We give up Netflix, Bud Light, and corporate coffee. But the result is the same: the empire starves, the remnant rises, and freedom wins.

Every time you skip the NFL game and cheer for the local team, every time you buy eggs from the farmer instead of the store, every time you pay cash instead of swiping a card—you slice another piece off the machine.

We did it to Bud Light. We can do it to Disney, PepsiCo, and the whole rotten system.

The spark lives in us. Real Americans, keep it burning.

A Note from the Remnant

You may have noticed the unusual banner ads on Glowie Rag. They’re not Google AdSense — and they’re not from any of the corporate spying machines that track your every click, sell your data to the highest bidder, and feed the deep state’s surveillance grid.

I chose these smaller, independent ad networks because every dollar that goes to Google is another dollar feeding the same beast we’re fighting. AdSense isn’t just ads — it’s a tracking net that records your searches, your location, your habits, and hands it all to the same people who want us enslaved.

These banners? They’re simple, no-tracking, low-key ads from small businesses and patriots who actually support the mission. The money stays with real people, not the corporate overlords. Every cent helps pay for the servers, the research, the graphs, and the fight to keep Glowie Rag free and unbowed. If a corporate one slips through I personally apologize. We use an ad-serving system.

So when you see them, know this: They’re not perfect, but they’re honest. They’re not spying on you — they’re helping us keep the spark alive. And if you know a good patriot business that could use the advertising, refer them to our website and tell them to contact us, we would love to feature them!

Real Americans don’t feed the machine. We build our own.
