40 - The Most Important Number in Your Life
40 - The Most Important Number in Your Life
The Magic Number
Throughout my life, it seems that every decade there is a cultural consensus on what our most important number to focus on might be. When I was young, there was a campaign to get everyone to focus on the number 65 (retirement age). There were no 401Ks back then and everyone was encouraged to plan for that long-awaited moment when we could say goodbye to the workforce and start living as great a life as our retirement planning and Social Security would allow – and to have that great life we needed proper planning which required us to ‘know our numbers!’
Then, we went through the fitness decades, and (depending on which year it was) we were all told to know our (cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat, or Body mass) number because Americans were notoriously out-of-shape with high (cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat, or Body mass) - and we needed to get those numbers down!
Numbers are all around us… whether it is the number of Paid Time Off days you have left in the calendar year or the amazing percentage of savings you will receive if you will only buy these incredible bed sheets while supplies still last! Numbers scream at us to the point we tend to tune them out (how many months of warranty does the drivetrain on my new truck have?) …
So, being the uncanny student of human nature that I am (LOL), I am making this Public Service Announcement and urging everyone within the sound of my reach to give a heads-up. To put down the game-day chicken wings for just a moment and pay attention. Because I have a number for you that you’ll never want to forget. You don’t have to get a blood test to determine what it is and it won’t make you feel guilty for not exercising or having that extra piece of pie. As a matter of fact, knowing this number might just help you sleep a little better at night; it might just help you find an answer to a question you (and a whole lot of others) have been fretting over…
So, the number is…
Well, wait a moment. I just realized we need a little background first. I mean, think about it… if someone just handed you an old 24-cent stamp without any background you might just throw it into a drawer, use it to mail a letter, or even throw it away. With a little background, though, you might just realize that this Inverted Jenny stamp is worth $1.35 Million.
What I am about to tell you is worth far more than some rare stamp…
On what might at first blush seem like a tangent, I would like to comment on how uninformed many of our fellow Americans seem to be. I read a post today on the Gateway Pundit by Lawrence Sellin – here is a quote from it:
The U.S. government is a corrupt, one-party authoritarian state controlled by a Globalist Uniparty of Democrats and Republicans, who steal from the American people on behalf of rich and powerful multinational interests and use the federal bureaucracy, particularly the national security agencies, to suppress dissent and deny individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
I refer to the group he discusses as the anti-America-First Globalists or the Ruling Class, whereas he names them the Globalist Uniparty. You may refer to them as the powers that be or by some other name, but regardless of nomenclature, if you are following my newsletter, you are probably paying sufficient attention to the world around us to realize the absolute truth of that statement.
How can so few Americans understand this?
I understand the frustration. Just today, I read articles demonstrating how Arizona broke its own laws to subvert an election, watched video of an election official lying under oath, and witnessed an apparently corrupt judge confirming a corrupt election. I watched Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on CBS’s “Face the Nation” say the electoral college “has become a danger not just to democracy, but to the American people.” I read about Germany wanting to remotely control everyone’s home heating and electric car charging. I also read a report that Twitter was conspiring with multiple government agencies (including the CIA) to censor the speech of American citizens and how Elon Musk declares that all of the ‘conspiracy theories’ about Twitter have come true.
All of these things have been revealed within just the last 24 hours – and this is not even 20% of the astonishing things I see crossing my desk. Every. Single. Day.
We want so desperately for our fellow Americans to ‘Wake Up!’
Are we a lost cause? (sigh)…
Are a majority of Americans just stupid? Are there too many people out there that just don’t give a rat’s arse about anything except their child’s next soccer practice? Have we allowed our educational system to destroy patriotism? Have we turned into a people who can no longer think about – or comprehend – things bigger than just ourselves?
It is tempting to think so, but the truth is something different.
Polls, events, enemy response, cultural trends, and keen observation will tell you more Americans are waking up every day. “But,” you ask, “what good will it do?”
“All the good in the world,” comes the answer. That awakening will bring forth the wrath of the American people, a rebirth of liberty, and a renaissance unlike anything we’ve known before. “Why should I believe that?” you stubbornly ask again. “Because history shows it always does,” echoes the answer. We didn’t become the greatest nation on Earth by being stupid or timid. We didn’t free the slaves and stand against Nazi evil because we are easily scared. We like to enjoy the comforts we have created for ourselves, but heaven help the man or woman who tries to destroy the future of an American mother’s child. The American heritage of independence, self-reliance, and destiny has conquered nations, shaken the ground, left footprints in the heavens, and led mankind to an existence and prosperity that can only be envied by despots. When the American people unite behind a cause, heaven help our enemies.
When the American Giant awakens, our enemies tremble…
“But Bill,” you insist on arguing, “the Globalists own the media. They control our government, big business… they hold all the reins of power. We will never get our message out – we will never convince everyone of how evil they are.”
And before you finish your protest, your subconscious percolates the answer… “We don’t need to convince everyone.”
And the next question that immediately comes to your mind is, “How many do we need?”
So, you’re asking for a number?
The number you are looking for is not 90%. It is not 70%. It is not even a majority… Historians tell us that when 40% of a population becomes united in their opposition to their own government, change happens. This is especially true of the United States – when 40% of the American colonists were resolved the English Crown would no longer address their grievances, a whole bunch of tea got dumped in a harbor.
America needs a revolution – and hopefully, it will be a peaceful one. In our opinion (and in the opinion of those we respect), 25% - 30% of Americans are understanding the truth of this statement:
The U.S. government is a corrupt, one-party authoritarian state controlled by a Globalist Uniparty of Democrats and Republicans, who steal from the American people on behalf of rich and powerful multinational interests and use the federal bureaucracy, particularly the national security agencies, to suppress dissent and deny individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
We need to move the needle on another 10% - 15%. We cannot be timid; we will not be silenced. We don’t need the media; we will not settle for excuses. This is our duty; this is our crusade. The question most often uttered by patriots is, “What can I do?” Now, you have an answer. Now, you have a number. It is the most important number in the history of our country and you should treat it as such. Will you support organizations such as PRC? Will you help us get the word out? Will you get involved in local GOP committees? Will you speak out to school boards – will you write letters and make calls to elected officials?
When I was a child, I enjoyed reading a publication called Readers Digest. It had a section called, Laughter, the Best Medicine. Many times, these were true anecdotes. I have remembered one for over 50 years now. It goes like this…
In Nazi-occupied Paris, France a Stormtrooper rose from his seat and prepared to depart the bus he had been riding. As he walked down the aisle, he tripped over a woman’s umbrella and planted himself face-first on the floor. He rose angrily and whirled around only to find a scared little old lady muttering apology. Red-facedly he brushed at his uniform and stormed off the bus. After he left, the little old lady said to the astonished onlookers… “I know it’s not much, but he’s the fifth one I’ve bagged today.”
Your next-door neighbor, best friend, employee, or the person you share this newsletter with could be the last person needed to reach 40%. Or, they could be the person who talks to the guy who becomes just that. Will you do your part? How many will you bag today? This week?
The one promise I will make you is if you consistently do something to get us to 40%, you will sleep better at night.

NOTE: PRC Coffee Company’s coffees all have patriotic branding and make for great gifts and conversation, but make no mistake… these are among the finest coffees in the world and are roasted right here in the United States.
