This day, long-dreaded by conservatives across the United States, is here and nearly over. It’s Inauguration Day as I write this but the ideas we’re about to discuss should be evergreen for the next four years. If you’re a patriot who opposes the Neo-Marxist ideology that was spreading before Joe Biden became president, an ideology that is already showing signs of strengthening in the first few hours of his administration, then you’re probably loaded with emotion right now.
The time is now to channel it, and “now” means today regardless of what day it is. Whatever your emotion is, whether anger or fear or a resolute hope that we can fight what is coming and what is already here, we need to channel it into action. The left laid down a roadmap for how to be the “resistance” against President Trump. We need to take that roadmap and toss it out the window.

From Macbeth:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time.
It’s nihilism that drove both Shakespeare’s titular character and the radical progressives who established the left’s narrative throughout President Trump’s time in office. They operated from an unhealthy perspective that drained the nation and themselves. But it didn’t work. President Trump didn’t lose because of their resistance. His administration was hampered by it, certainly, but the election was lost in spite of the “resistance” and their unhinged tactics.
Now, we’re seeing many on social media claiming to be ready to become the same type of “resistance” to a Biden administration that we saw from the left during the Trump administration. Please stop. Please do not look at the results of this election and think they were effective. They failed miserably on most levels and were little more than a nuisance. Without COVID-19 and massive voter fraud, the “resistance” would have been viewed in retrospect as a complete failure following a Trump landslide. So why would conservatives now want to start a variation of the same losing effort?
The answer is a combination of low discernment, emotional responses to the finalized results of the stolen election, and the id-factor. On that last note, let’s face it. Playing the role of “resistance” fighter attacking everything the Biden administration puts forward sounds like fun. We watched four years of conniving, scheming, and foot-stomping from the left and now we get our turn at it. But we MUST avoid this and similar tactics. Unless we’re ready to launch another virus into the wild, cheat massively in future elections, and destroy this nation the way the left tried to do, then we need to focus on being aggressive while still taking the high road.
The reason the “resistance” had to act out the way they did is because reality never matched their narrative. Things were good, so they had to pretend like things were bad in order to justify their opposition to President Trump and his policies. We have a much easier path to resistance because the proposed policies from the Biden administration are nearly all disastrous. The left had to manufacture Trump failures. Biden’s administration will manufacture their own failures without our help.
So, what do we do? How do we save this country without forming a right-wing version of Antifa or planting moles in the White House? We do so by watching and reporting. We will have the truth on our side, so there’s no need to manufacture failure. The economy is going to stagnate, and then tank. The military is going to be hampered, then decimated by cuts. Wars are likely to break out and the Biden administration is going to insert our troops into them. Abortion “rights” will be expanded while the valid rights of pre-born humans will be extinguished. The Second Amendment is going to take a beating from multiple fronts.
All of these things are going to happen, not because we do anything to force them but because the left’s ideology driving policies are bound to fail. We’re not talking about the many bad policies under the Obama administration. Those were terrible with the obvious pinnacle of failure being Obamacare. But the Biden administration is tripling down on everything bad the Obama administration wanted and they’re adding more failure to the mix.
Be aggressive, but be patient. Let things play out. And as they fail, get more aggressive. Mainstream media and Big Tech will do everything they can to cover up Biden administration failures just as they did everything they could to manufacture failures from the Trump administration. We must be the provocateurs of truth in the same way the “resistance” to President Trump were the provocateurs of lies.
For four years we watched the left lie about all of the “failures” of the Trump administration. Patriots moving forward must watch for the real-world failures of the Biden administration, then get the word out to the sheep.
‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us
Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.
For the last few months, NOQ Report, Conservative Playbook, and the American Conservative Movement have appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.
It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. Both of our YouTube accounts were banned. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Medium canceled us. Apple canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.
The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancellation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.
The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects, including death. One of our stories about the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” causing blood clots was “fact-checked” and removed one day before the government hit the brakes on it. These questions and news items are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting canceled.
There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ, CP, and ACM readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are pacing to be short by about $3700 per month in order to maintain operations.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.
During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.

Excellent perspective. Fight their falsities with Truth & Facts…not emotions. Manage the fight from our side to erode the weak fringe supporters of their side. Beguile them with reason, not confrontation. Coax them with subtleties. Persevere over time…
…PLAY THE LONG GAME, PLAY THE SMART GAME.
I’d like to encourage our side also to DOCUMENT TODAY’S CURRENT status, stats, and markers (along with the info sources), so we’ll be able to show how their side’s actions, decisions and policies are causing continual decline and detriment over time.
Document as many official economical and sociological measurements as possible, to use later to show the accumulating adverse effects.
Let’s outsmart the “best and brightest”. And plan to take no prisoners in this war…this battle is for everything. P.S.: Harden your Faith Armor daily.
I voted for George H.W. Bush twice for president. His no new taxes statement was blatant prevarication.
I voted for George W. Bush twice for president. Even though he wouldn’t fight back when he was viscously attacked by his “good friends” in the other party. And he left office with a 27% approval rating.
I voted for JEB! twice for Governor of Florida. The Bush family just assumed that we were bound to keep the Bush dynasty going because we owed it to them.
I voted for John McCain and Mitt Romney for president and both were flat out losers.
I’ve watched the republican leadership squander the majority that was handed to them in 2016.
Yet, here you are writing about subtleties and the long game. How would those results be different from the losing results of 2016. Your approach is nothing more than the same old game plan that worships the process rather than results. It says that we should learn how to lose with grace and honor.
The fact is that we are engaged in a street fight and the Republicans are losing badly. Yet you want conservatives to use subtleties on an opposition that eats their lunch every time subtleties are tried.
A total change of leadership and a new philosophy is the only “long game” that will save the GOP. And believe me, I speak for a lot of disillusioned party members that will no longer tolerate the policies of incremental surrender to the opposition.
I don’t suggest that we form our version of BLM or Antifa, but taking the “high road” has gotten us nowhere for the last 50 years. We need to adapt some of the tactics of the left if we are to win.
Demagoguery is definitely in order. We should never concede anything. Surrender is off of the table forever more.
Foremost on my list of things to do is to defeat every freaking RINO possible in their next primary. Donald Trump smoked them out. The least we can do is defeat them at the ballot box.
Justice is a dish best served cold. Logic and reason are our virture. Insanity and chaos are theirs. The left must be soundly defeated. God bless America …
How do we channel our emotions into a long-term strategy of positive resistance?
We start by refusing to accept the lies of the left whose acolytes constantly challenge conservatives in media hit pieces to deny there was any election fraud. We stop using the convenient terminology of the left that relabels semi-automatic rifles as “assault weapons” and other egregious creations such as “social justice” which are nebulous and have no bearing in reality.
We pressure our state legislatures to create meaningful election reform so that the radical socialist Democrats can’t steal the next election like they did this one. We also demand an end to abortion and other egregious assaults on the country such as infringement of our Second Amendment rights.
We primary RINOs, period! We follow President Trump’s endorsements and work to get those people elected.
Most of all, we subscribe to the famous challenge of Winston Churchill to the British in WWII to “never, ever give up!”
