In 1791 the first ten amendments to the constitution of the United States of America were ratified. These amendments became known as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was passed with the intent to restrain the power of the government and to preserve the rights of the people by recognizing them. Today it is as important as ever to understand and know these amendments to keep the government in check and to exercise the rights God has granted you.
The first amendment is the foundation that the rest of the Bill of Rights is built upon so it vital to have a firm grasp of this amendment. Because the first amendment is such an important and crucial right it is often under attack and requires the most vigilance to keep it in tact and effective in our society. For this reason, each citizen should take the utmost care to hold the government accountable with this amendment. After all, it was put in writing and ratified to restrain the government not the people.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The first five words of this amendment are often overlooked but are incredibly crucial to understand, “Congress shall make no law”, may seem like legal jargon, but it holds great significance. In the constitution there is only one branch of government that was given the power to make laws and that was the legislative branch (Congress). The legislative branch is the closest representatives of the people therefore, the laws would reflect the values of the people or the people would vote in a new congress.
What does the first amendment specifically restrain congress (and in the process the entire government) from doing? Passing any law that would create a state ran church (respecting an establishment of religion) or any law that would prohibit the free exercise of religion. Many people point to this amendment as the creator of the phrase “separation of church and state” (this phrase would be coined later in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists).
As it comes to religious freedom, we can see there are two parts to it, the first part is the government is restrained from establishing a state wide church. It is important to understand that the amendment is not against a state wide church, it is only against the government establishing one. This means the government cannot tell you what church or religion to be a part of. The second part of religious freedom is interesting as it restrains the government from impeding the exercise of a religion. This means that the government cannot intervene in ecclesiastical law. The government is restrained from telling a church things like when they can meet, how they are to meet, or if they should meet. The religious freedom recognized in the first amendment does not keep religion out of politics, rather it keeps politics out of religion and guarantees the unimpeded exercise of religion even in the realm of politics.
The next area where Congress is specifically restrained is the area of free speech. Congress can make no law that curtails the speech of the citizens. This right is also recognized within the press. Our founding fathers were exceedingly wise when they put this in writing as many tyrants have risen and retained their power by stopping people from speaking and by telling the press what to say to the people. It is imperative for a free nation to spread ideas freely if it desires to maintain its status as free.
Our founding fathers went the extra mile in giving us the road map to freedom by restraining the government when they included “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” to the list of restraints on Congress. The right to peaceably assemble is vital to disseminating ideas and acting upon these ideas. The last part of this amendment is absolutely key for us to understand today. The first amendment restrains the government from stopping its citizens who wish to petition and disagree with the government itself. The establishing government recognized the need to be told they were wrong by the people. This also enabled and placed the responsibility upon the citizens to hold the government accountable for their actions and to be active in politics.
Hopefully this has helped you understand the first amendment of the Bill of Rights and has lit a fire under you to get involved by keeping an eye on our government and petitioning them when they have overstepped their bounds!

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, 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 and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
