No F***ing Kings. No Tyrants. No Silence.

Authoritarian wannabes have not… and will not… crush the will of those who abide by the U.S. Constitution. We will have NO Kings.

No F***ing Kings. No Tyrants. No Silence.

The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #599: Tuesday, October 14th, 2025.

That’s not rhetoric. It’s a vow.
It’s a line drawn in the sand.
It’s the only stance worth taking right now.

Because make no mistake: the long knives are being sharpened.
The power grabs are being laid.
The bets are being placed.

They want obedience…not justice.
They want silence…not truth.
They want your compliance…your quiet…your acquiescence.

But you…yes, you…are the ones who refuse that bargain.
You are the ones who will not kneel.
You are the ones who know that freedom demanded is the only kind worth having.

1. The Anatomy of a Power Grab

Let me tell you a truth no one else wants to name: tyrants don’t announce themselves as tyrants.

They wrap themselves in legalisms…they crow about “emergency powers,” they whisper “just for your safety.”
Then they inch you closer to a cage you never saw being built.

That’s how it always starts:

• “This is temporary … just until we restore order.”

• “Trust us…it’s for the common good.”

• “You’ll thank us later when the chaos is gone.”

These are lies.
Dangerous lies.
The cost is your liberty.

But there’s a crucial fact they don’t count on:

You already anchor to something stronger than fear.

You anchor to a founding:
One nation under law.
One document that declares every human has rights…none are subject to a king.

They don’t own that.
They don’t get to rewrite it just because they have the microphone.

Not now. Not ever.

2. The Flame Inside You

You didn’t arrive here by accident.
You didn’t stumble into this fight.
You were forged by wake-ups.

Maybe it was watching freedoms drop in your lifetime.
Maybe it was the stench of censorship, corruption…or lies.
Maybe it was the moment you said, “Enough.”

That flame inside you…the one that refuses domination…it’s no whim.
It’s the line your soul drew when it recognized that you are not a subject.

That’s why “just get along” feels wrong.
That’s why passive acceptance tastes of betrayal.
Because something in you knows: you’re built for freedom.
You’re wired to resist.

3. Why the Timid Perish

You think you need perfect argument…perfect timing… perfect cloak of safety to speak?
Wrong.

The timid perish while the bold make history.

History is never carved by the voices that stay quiet.
It is carved by the voices that dared…at cost…to speak.

You don’t wait for the room to be safe.
You build the room with your courage.
You lean into the fracture in the crowd.
You plant the seed of dissent.
You shine light where darkness wants cover.

That’s what Jack Hopkins Now is:

A home for voices that will not fold.
A sanctuary for the people who recognize power must be fought…in words…in votes… in standing up.

If every decent person shrinks away…
Then only brave voices remain.
Be one of them.

4. The Three Pillars of Unbowed Resistance

Here’s your tactical framework. You don’t need grand illusions…you need clarity.

Pillar 1: Mind

Your thinking is your frontline.
Tyranny begins by capturing perception.

Guard what you read.
Guard what you consume.
Ask: who benefits from your silence?
Ask: who profits from your confusion?

Let clarity…logic…and principle be your filter.
When others are gaslit…you are your own referee.

Pillar 2: Voice

Your voice is not just your right…it’s your weapon.

Speak where silence is expected.
Say what others fear.
Don’t whisper. Don’t mince.
Say it true. Say it loud enough to bother them.

Voice can’t be taxed…silenced…or quarantined…unless you allow it.
Let them try. They’ll reveal themselves.

Pillar 3: Skin in the Game

Words are worth nothing without risk.
If you won’t invest…time…money…attention…you become another spectator.
They count on spectators.

Become someone who pays.
Someone who stands.
Someone who is the cost they think they can intimidate.

That’s why a paid subscription matters.
It’s not loyalty to me…it’s loyalty to resistance itself.
It says: I am not neutral.
I will not be silenced by price…by fear…by shutdowns.

5. Lessons from History…And Why We Are Not Expendable

Power never surrenders. It exacts.
Every tyrant wants emission control over society…the discourse…the dissent…the domain.

But history also teaches something else:
Tyrants always miscalculate.
They always overreach.
They always underestimate conviction.

They misjudge that the people who see the bait will not bite.
They misjudge that souls tethered to principle will not bow.

Freedom doesn’t end because someone with a crown demands it.
It only ends when the free stop believing they deserve it.

America was forged by stubborn people…people who looked lunacy in the face and said, “Better to die free than live muted.”
That lineage is your heritage.
It’s your inheritance.

6. What Will You Do Now?

You can shrug. You can doubt. You can get busy.
That’s what most will do.
That’s how tyranny extends its shadow — by dulling the courageous.

But you can do something else. You should do something else.

Decide yourself:

I will not bow.
Say it until your mind stops questioning.

Engage your voice:

Write that post.
Share that essay.
Forward that link.
Speak in public.
Let your neighbors hear you.

Invest what you can:

If you can’t give thousands, give ten.
If you can’t stand up publicly today…subscribe…financially underwrite…support.
The strength of resistance lies in commitment.

Grow a tribe:

Bring others with you.
The movement of one is fragile.
The movement of many is harder to extinguish.

Stay relentless:

This is not a weekend sprint.
It’s a long war.
Some days you win. Some you lose.
But you do not stop.

7. The Storm Will Speak Names

When the roof begins to buckle…the lightning cracks, the wind howls…the storm will speak names.
It will demand submission.
It will call for bowing.

You will be named.
Your loyalty will be tested.
Your silence will be purchased…for cheap.

What will you say?
What will you stand for?

You will say: Not me. Not now. Not ever.

You will stand for a nation where no man is king.
Where power is accountable.
Where rights are inherent…not granted by whim.

You will stand for a Republic that honors its name.
For those who came before and those who will follow.

8. Hell Is Not Silent; Freedom Screams

They think they can crawl through the cracks.
They think they can suffocate dissent under rules…fines…fear.

They forget: Freedom screams.
You will scream in your letters.
You will scream in your posts.
You will scream in your subscriptions.
You will scream in your vote.

You are the scream they forgot to silence.

9. Why This Matters to the Readers of JHN

You didn’t show up here to be passive.
You came because you sense the fight…the cost…the urgency.

Jack Hopkins Now is more than a newsletter.

It’s a covenant…between me and you…that truth won’t be bought…fear won’t win… independence will be defended.

Your subscription is not about content…it’s about believing in the fight.
It’s about being on the correct side of history…not the safe side of silence.

If you read here…think here…hesitate here…someone else hears you.
Be loud. Be firm. Be counted.

Be the Kind of Person Tyrants Fear

They fear courage more than weapons.
They fear conviction more than protests.
They fear a people who refuse to obey without question.

So become that.

Be the kind of person a would-be king fears.
One who stands when others cave.
One who speaks when others hush.
One who pays when others profit from silence.

Join the battleground of mind and will.
Let this newsletter be the sharpening stone for every righteous heart here.
If you’re not yet a paid subscriber…make the choice:
You aren’t a spectator. You are resistance.

We will have NO kings.
We will not bow.
We will rise.

BONUS: The Line We Will Not Cross

You can feel it…the tension between madness and awakening.
The loudest mouths in politics think if they shout long enough…the rest of us will go quiet.

That’s their first mistake.

Because what they’re really doing…every time they threaten…purge…or sneer at the Constitution…is reminding the rest of us exactly who we are.

We are the descendants of people who crossed oceans with nothing but conviction.
The grandchildren of men who stormed beaches and women who welded liberty together in factories.

The heirs of farmers…builders…soldiers…teachers..citizens who swore an oath not to a man, but to an idea.

And that oath didn’t expire when the news cycle moved on.
It still stands, signed in the same ink: blood…belief…and backbone.

1. They Can’t Fire the Spirit of a Free People

Fire every bureaucrat…shutter every office…strip every seal from the wall…and you still haven’t conquered America.
Because America isn’t an agency.
It’s a mindset.

The paperwork of power can be rewritten.
But the principle of freedom is carved into the national psyche like granite:

We will have no kings.

Try to erase it, and the carving just cuts deeper.

2. The Quiet Majority Isn’t Sleeping…It’s Loading

Not guns.
Not violence.
Resolve.

Every headline meant to demoralize is waking another citizen up.
Every attempt to suppress truth is recruiting new defenders of it.
They think they’re breaking us.
They’re forging us.

The founding fathers would laugh at the idea that Americans could be tamed by hashtags or executive orders.

They knew the only power tyrants have is the obedience of the fearful.
Take that obedience away…and you pull the plug on the whole show.

3. Courage Is the Only Currency That Matters Now

Money can be frozen.
Speech can be throttled.
Accounts can be banned.
But courage?

Courage compounds.

One person stands up…another sees it…and suddenly the whole room remembers their spine.

That’s how revolutions of conscience begin…not with permission…but with example.

If you doubt your impact, remember this:

Every dictator in history has feared the sound of a single unafraid voice.
Be that sound.
Be the disruption they can’t budget for.

4. The Blueprint for the Unbreakable

1. Refuse the script. When they say “hopeless,” you answer “not even close.”

2. Get local. Democracy begins on your street before it ever hits D.C.

3. Stay loud. Silence is surrender. Volume is verification that freedom still breathes.

4. Support the fighters. Independent voices…investigative reporters…truth-tellers…fund them like your future depends on it…because it does.

5. Build memory. They erase history to repeat it. You remember to stop it.

5. Our Answer to Authoritarianism

When they say “Obey,” we answer “Over my dead democracy.”
When they say “You can’t,” we reply “Watch us.”
When they say “This is inevitable,” we grin and whisper “So was 1776.”

Because the American experiment isn’t a relic…it’s a relay.
And right now…the baton is in our hands.

We don’t get to drop it.
We get to run with it…through noise…through fear…through every cheap imitation of a crown.

6. The Call

Here’s the truth, straight up:
No savior’s coming.
No institution’s going to rescue us.
The rescue is us.

If you’ve read this far…you’re part of the answer.
And if you’re part of the answer…you can’t sit this out.

So subscribe…share, speak…and stand.
Not for me…for the idea that refuses to die: self-government…owned by the governed.

Because when the day comes…and it’s coming…when history asks, “Where were the Americans who would not kneel?”
the readers of Jack Hopkins Now will be able to say:

“Right here.
Standing.
Loud.
Unafraid.”

I’m more focused, energetic, and driven at 59 years old than I have ever been in my life. That’s no shit. Bring it. I was built for this. So were you…even if you’re just now starting to wake up to that fact.

Stay fired up…and cool as a cumcumber.

Back soon…with even more piss and vinegar…guaranteed,

-Jack
