Palm Republic Independence Day

Friday, May 13th, 2022

Why did we choose Friday the 13th as our day to declare independence? It’s all about the history of tyranny!! We are not the first people to suffer at the hands of tyrants, but if we stand together against the abuses of power, maybe we will be the last!

On Friday, October 13th, 1307, the King of France along with the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, arrested and subsequently killed all the Knights Templar throughout Europe. The reasons why these tyrants unjustly attacked and extinguished this order of noble knights is the subject of much speculation. Lies were created by the King and the Pope about the Templars actions in an attempt to hide the simple truth that the Templars success challenged these medieval politicians.

The success of the Isle of Palms challenges the power of our State politicians. They demand that we bend to their will and forsake our constitutionally guaranteed right of Home Rule. They illegally removed our emergency lane to demonstrate their power and passed “statutes” that violate our Constitution. They perpetrated lies about our actions to justify their sanctions. Yes, history will repeat itself until the people rise up against the tyranny and shine light on the abuse of power by those that rule.

It is now the Roman Catholic Church's position that the medieval persecution of the Knights Templar was unjust; that there was nothing inherently wrong with the Order or its Rule; and that Pope Clement was pressured into his actions by the magnitude of the public scandal and the dominating influence of King Philip IV. Sound familiar? Lies after lies to cover their tracks! Only time will let which of our “rulers” will be given the role as “King” of this saga and which will claim the role of “Pope”.

Until that time comes, we will remember the day that Tyrants killed the Knights Templar with our own Day of Independence from the tyranny of the “rulers” of the State of South Carolina that turned their backs on our Constitution and the Rule of Law for their own selfish motives of retaining their power over the peoples of South Carolina.

Viva la Palm Republic!!
