In June of 1979, Pope John Paul II visited his native Poland-- a restive nation under the seemingly iron grip of Soviet Communism. Ten years later communism-- and Soviet rule-- ended in Poland. Much happened in the ten years between these two dates to bring this about.

However, it was the Pope's initial visit that set these events into motion. The ruling Communist regime, suspicious of the visit, required that the Pope make no statements that were of a political nature-- or could even be implied to be so. The Pope agreed. He complied. All that he did was to say mass at his public events.

However, what happened was that the Polish people assembled in their millions at his multiple masses. Communism was officially atheistic. It maintained mass and individual surveillance over the entire population. No one could trust anyone except, possibly, close family members.

So, when the people assembled in their millions; for the first time they could all see that THEY were the vast majority. The ruling regime was in fact an isolated minority. The downfall of the regime became inevitable at that moment.

What does this have to do with contemporary America?

On April 5th, 2025, about 5.5 million Americans assembled across the length and breadth of America. Unlike past national demonstrations, these assemblies were not concentrated in just a few large cities-- they were everywhere.

From small rural villages in the reddest of red states, to the very largest cities in the bluest of blue states, Americans poured out into the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the increasingly oppressive Trump regime.

Everywhere, they saw that they were not alone in their opposition to the ruling regime. They were individuals, and they were multitudes! In my own city of Oceanside California, possessing a population of about 180,000, several thousand people turned out! To our south at least 25,000 turned out in San Diego!

These turnouts were repeated across my county, state, region, nation! We all, collectively, beheld that we were not just isolated, dissatisfied individuals, but that we were multitudes!

This realization along with its geographic dispersion will prove to be critically important for America's future because on January 29th, 2025, Donald Trump issued an Executive order entitled "Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border." [click here]

Section 6b of this order states:

"(b) Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report to the President about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807."

90 days means by April 20; though since this is a Sunday and Trump is likely to be busy golfing that day, so April 21st may be the actual date the Insurrection Act is invoked.

Invoking the Insurrection Act won't be limited to just the southern border, geographically. It will apply to the entire United States. This will be, in effect, a declaration of national martial law! Invocation of the Act will allow Trump to deploy military forces across the nation. [See: Click Here for details.]

The date of April 20th is significant for two reasons: 1) The next national demonstrations against the Trump regime are scheduled for the day before-- April 19th. See www.fiftyfifty.one for details as to where your local event will be located. 2) April 20th is, among other things, Adolf Hitler's birthday.
