Constitution – The Conservative-Patriot Christian Right

Terminate Uniparty Big Government

© September 18, 2022

The Off-Guardian Saturday (9/17) picked up a John & Nisha Whitehead post on The Rutherford Institute originally dated September 14. The Rutherford post has a bit more expanded and direct than Off-Guardian which reads, “Overthrow the Government: All the Ways in Which Our Rights Have Been Usurped.” The Off-Guardian remove d “Overthrow the Government.”

And to be fair to Off-Guardian, Whitehead does not offer a clarion call to overthrow the Dem-Marxist tyranny in the U.S. Government but concludes with the power to change is in the hands of WE THE PEOPLE without offering advice on how WE THE PEOPLE can effect change.

That which Whitehead does very effectively is itemize just how a Big Centralized Government has eradicated the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution, especially the first Ten Amendments known as The Bill of Rights.

One thing I’d like to mention that Whitehead does not is Political Parties did not exist at the beginning of the Constitution. However, the process of National (well… 13 newly independent sovereign states) debate to accept or reject the U.S. Constitution quickly developed two political factions: The Federalist faction promoting constitutional ratification and the Anti-Federalist faction rejecting ratification in favor of preserving a Confederation of loosely aligned independent states.

As the Constitution was ratified, the Federalist faction became a really not at all well-organized Federalist Party while the Anti-Federalists began to emerge into today’s Democratic Party. Thomas Jefferson (3^rd President) led the early Democratic-Republicans. George Washington and John Adams became attached to the Federalists but my sense is no political party authority was ever enforced among Federalists.

Today’s two dominant Political Parties (Democrats and Republicans) are both culprits in eradicating the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution so that Big Government rules beyond the authority provided by the Constitution. If WE THE PEOPLE continue to support the status quo of a uniparty Two Party System we deserve the tyranny WE THE PEOPLE experience.

John and Nisha Whitehead how the uniparty Big Government has decimated the Bill of Rights. I like Rutherford’s title better, but I like Off-Guardian’s article organization better. Ergo I am cross posting the latter.

10 Ways in Which Our Rights Have Been Usurped

5th Amendment

WE THE PEOPLE

By John and Nisha Whitehead

September 17, 2022

Off-Guardian

We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Abraham Lincoln

It’s easy to become discouraged about the state of our nation.

We’re drowning under the weight of too much debt, too many wars, too much power in the hands of a centralized government, too many militarized police, too many laws, too many lobbyists, and generally too much bad news.

It’s harder to believe that change is possible, that the system can be reformed, that politicians can be principled, that courts can be just, that good can overcome evil, and that freedom will prevail.

So where does that leave us?

Benjamin Franklin provided the answer. As the delegates to the Constitutional Convention trudged out of Independence Hall on September 17, 1787, an anxious woman in the crowd waiting at the entrance inquired of Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic,” Franklin replied, “if you can keep it.”

What Franklin meant, of course, is that when all is said and done, we get the government we deserve.

Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.

Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.

“We the people” have been terrorized, traumatized, and tricked into a semi-permanent state of compliance by a government that cares nothing for our lives or our liberties.

The bogeyman’s names and faces have changed over time (terrorism, the war on drugs, illegal immigration, a viral pandemic, and more to come), but the end result remains the same: in the so-called name of national security, the Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded with the support of Congress, the White House, and the courts.

A recitation of the Bill of Rights—set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and the like (all sanctioned by Congress, the White House, and the courts)—would understandably sound more like a eulogy to freedoms lost than an affirmation of rights we truly possess.

What we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago. Sadly, most of the damage has been inflicted upon the Bill of Rights.

Here is what it means to live under the Constitution, twenty-plus years after 9/11 and with the nation just emerging from two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates.

The First Amendment is supposed to protect the freedom to speak your mind, assemble and protest nonviolently without being bridled by the government. It also protects the freedom of the media, as well as the right to worship and pray without interference. In other words, Americans should not be silenced by the government. To the founders, all of America was a free speech zone.

Despite the clear protections found in the First Amendment, the freedoms described therein are under constant assault. Increasingly, Americans are being persecuted for exercising their First Amendment rights and speaking out against government corruption.

Activists are being arrested and charged for daring to film police officers engaged in harassment or abusive practices. Journalists are being prosecuted for reporting on whistleblowers.

States are passing legislation to muzzle reporting on cruel and abusive corporate practices. Religious ministries are being fined for attempting to feed and house the homeless. Protesters are being tear-gassed, beaten, arrested and forced into “free speech zones.”

And under the guise of “government speech,” the courts have reasoned that the government can discriminate freely against any First Amendment activity that takes place within a so-called government forum.

The Second Amendment was intended to guarantee “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Essentially, this amendment was intended to give the citizenry the means to resist tyrannical government. Yet while gun ownership has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an individual citizen right, Americans remain powerless to defend themselves against red flag gun laws, militarized police, SWAT team raids, and government agencies armed to the teeth with military weapons better suited to the battlefield.

The Third Amendment reinforces the principle that civilian-elected officials are superior to the military by prohibiting the military from entering any citizen’s home without “the consent of the owner.” With the police increasingly training like the military, acting like the military, and posing as military forces—complete with heavily armed SWAT teams, military weapons, assault vehicles, etc.—it is clear that we now have what the founders feared most—a standing army on American soil.

The Fourth Amendment prohibits government agents from conducting surveillance on you or touching you or encroaching on your private property unless they have evidence that you’re up to something criminal. In other words, the Fourth Amendment ensures privacy and bodily integrity.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Amendment has suffered the greatest damage in recent years and has been all but eviscerated by an unwarranted expansion of governmental police powers that include strip searches and even anal and vaginal searches of citizens, surveillance (corporate and otherwise), and intrusions justified in the name of fighting terrorism, as well as the outsourcing of otherwise illegal activities to private contractors.

The Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment work in tandem. These amendments supposedly ensure that you are innocent until proven guilty, and government authorities cannot deprive you of your life, your liberty or your property without the right to an attorney and a fair trial before a civilian judge.

However, in the new suspect society in which we live, where surveillance is the norm, these fundamental principles have been upended. Certainly, if the government can arbitrarily freeze, seize or lay claim to your property (money, land or possessions) under government asset forfeiture schemes, you have no true rights.

The Seventh Amendment guarantees citizens the right to a jury trial. Yet when the populace has no idea of what’s in the Constitution—civic education has virtually disappeared from most school curriculums—that inevitably translates to an ignorant jury incapable of distinguishing justice and the law from their own preconceived notions and fears.

However, as a growing number of citizens are coming to realize, the power of the jury to nullify the government’s actions—and thereby help balance the scales of justice—is not to be underestimated. Jury nullification reminds the government that “we the people” retain the power to ultimately determine what laws are just.

The Eighth Amendment is similar to the Sixth in that it is supposed to protect the rights of the accused and forbid the use of cruel and unusual punishment. However, the Supreme Court’s determination that what constitutes “cruel and unusual” should be dependent on the “evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” leaves us with little protection in the face of a society lacking in morals altogether.

The Ninth Amendment provides that other rights not enumerated in the Constitution are nonetheless retained by the people. Popular sovereignty—the belief that the power to govern flows upward from the people rather than downward from the rulers—is clearly evident in this amendment.

However, it has since been turned on its head by a centralized federal government that sees itself as supreme and which continues to pass more and more laws that restrict our freedoms under the pretext that it has an “important government interest” in doing so.

As for the Tenth Amendment’s reminder that the people and the states retain every authority that is not otherwise mentioned in the Constitution, that assurance of a system of government in which power is divided among local, state and national entities has long since been rendered moot by the centralized Washington, DC, power elite—the president, Congress and the courts.

Thus, if there is any sense to be made from this recitation of freedoms lost, it is simply this: our individual freedoms have been eviscerated so that the government’s powers could be expanded.

It was no idle happenstance that the Constitution opens with these three powerful words: “We the people.” As the Preamble proclaims:

We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.

In other words, it’s our job to make the government play by the rules of the Constitution.

We are supposed to be the masters and they—the government and its agents—are the servants.

We the American people—the citizenry—are supposed to be the arbiters and ultimate guardians of America’s welfare, defense, liberty, laws and prosperity.

Still, it’s hard to be a good citizen if you don’t know anything about your rights or how the government is supposed to operate.

As the National Review rightly asks, “How can Americans possibly make intelligent and informed political choices if they don’t understand the fundamental structure of their government? American citizens have the right to self-government, but it seems that we increasingly lack the capacity for it.”

Americans are constitutionally illiterate.

Most citizens have little, if any, knowledge about their basic rights. And our educational system does a poor job of teaching the basic freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For instance, a survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that a little more than one-third of respondents (36 percent) could name all three branches of the U.S. government, while another one-third (35 percent) could not name a single one.

A survey by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that only one out of a thousand adults could identify the five rights protected by the First Amendment. On the other hand, more than half (52%) of the respondents could name at least two of the characters in the animated Simpsons television family, and 20% could name all five. And although half could name none of the freedoms in the First Amendment, a majority (54%) could name at least one of the three judges on the TV program American Idol, 41% could name two and one-fourth could name all three.

It gets worse.

Many who responded to the survey had a strange conception of what was in the First Amendment. For example, a startling number of respondents believed that the “right to own a pet” and the “right to drive a car” were part of the First Amendment. Another 38% believed that “taking the Fifth” was part of the First Amendment.

Teachers and school administrators do not fare much better. A study conducted by the Center for Survey Research and Analysis found that one educator in five was unable to name any of the freedoms in the First Amendment.

Government leaders and politicians are also ill-informed. Although they take an oath to uphold, support and defend the Constitution against “enemies foreign and domestic,” their lack of education about our fundamental rights often causes them to be enemies of the Bill of Rights.

So what’s the solution?

Thomas Jefferson recognized that a citizenry educated on “their rights, interests, and duties” is the only real assurance that freedom will survive.

As Jefferson wrote in 1820:

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of our society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”

From the President on down, anyone taking public office should have a working knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and should be held accountable for upholding their precepts. One way to ensure this would be to require government leaders to take a course on the Constitution and pass a thorough examination thereof before being allowed to take office.

Some critics are advocating that students pass the United States citizenship exam in order to graduate from high school. Others recommend that it must be a prerequisite for attending college. I’d go so far as to argue that students should have to pass the citizenship exam before graduating from grade school.

Here’s an idea to get educated and take a stand for freedom: anyone who signs up to become a member of The Rutherford Institute gets a wallet-sized Bill of Rights card and a Know Your Rights card. Use this card to teach your children the freedoms found in the Bill of Rights.

A healthy, representative government is hard work. It takes a citizenry that is informed about the issues, educated about how the government operates, and willing to do more than grouse and complain.

As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, “we the people” have the power to make and break the government.

The powers-that-be want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own. They also want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day.

Yet there are 330 million of us in this country. Imagine what we could accomplish if we actually worked together, presented a united front, and spoke with one voice.

Tyranny wouldn’t stand a chance.

Rumble VIDEO: 303 – Nuremberg Code and the COVID-19 “Vaccines”

Posted by The Constitution Study

Published February 7, 2022

Many of you may be wondering what medical ethics has to do with the Constitution. Many who’ve been following what’s been going on with the COVID-19 “vaccine” and related mandates have asked me about the Nuremberg Codes. While this set of medical ethics is not law in the United States, it does support the rights protected by the Constitution. Understanding this code, and how the Constitution protects your rights is paramount if liberty and freedom are to survive the attack they are under by enemies both governmental and societal.

2021: The Invasion of America

With COVID despotism, an election coup and Dem-Marxist totalitarianism on the rise; unbridled illegal immigration festering on America’s southern border has nearly become an after-thought. Americans need to awaken that the ILLEGALS invasion and distribution is a long standing part of the fundamental transformation of American culture. Justin Smith lays the groundwork.

2021: The Invasion of America

America Must Secure Her Borders Soon

By Justin O. Smith

Sent 6/18/2021 10:42 PM

Americans have the absolute right to defend themselves, America Herself, their states and their communities from the detrimental effects of illegal immigration and the illegal aliens, who are currently flooding across the border in record numbers. Those of us who love this country have the right and the duty to determine who enters under existing immigration law found in 8 USC 1151, that is currently being mocked and broken by the Biden regime, and as such, Governor Gregg Abbott is one-hundred percent within the purview of federal and state law in [JOS] his recent declaration that he will build a wall along the border to halt the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens – [JOS] 180,034 in May alone — who do not have any virtuous right to enter America just because they arrive at the border, especially in light of the Biden regime’s malfeasance on the U.S. Southern Border.

During his recent Border Security Summit Meeting in Del Rio on June 10th, Governor Abbott stated:

“President Biden’s open-border policies have led to a humanitarian crisis at our southern border as record levels of immigrants, drugs, and contraband pour into Texas. While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows. The state is working collaboratively with communities impacted by the crisis to arrest and detain individuals coming into Texas illegally.
Our efforts will only be effective if we work together to secure the border, make criminal arrests, protect landowners, rid our communities of dangerous drugs, and provide Texans with the support they need and deserve. This is an unprecedented crisis, and Texas is responding with the most robust and comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen.”

This same statement should be issued by every Governor in the nation who opposes this Open Border Policy of the Biden regime. It is their absolute right as governors of Sovereign States and as understood through the prism of our Tenth Amendment Rights***. To date, America has only seen a weak and futile response from [JOS] twenty GOP Governors in a May 11th 2021 letter to Biden that only “urged” him “to end the humanitarian crisis and secure our southern border immediately”.

***[Blog Editor: In looking at “Tenth Amendment Rights” it appears to me those Rights of late are dependent upon SCOTUS interpretations that seem to ebb and flow according to the dominant legal doctrine of the day. That concerns me since I am convinced the power of SCOTUS has been corrupted. Here are some posts for your consideration:

Reported by Fox News on June 17^th [Blog Editor: I found Governor Abbot on Fox News 5/14/21 corroborated by Leftist Newsweek 5/25/21], the State of Texas has documented an eight-hundred percent increase in the quantity of fentanyl confiscated at the border, from January through May. That’s more than enough of the deadly drug to kill over twenty-one million Americans.

Just prior to the election, all the media and all America heard the promises from Biden and Harris both that they would stop Trump’s wall, suspend deportations for 100 days and provide a way for all illegal aliens currently living in America to receive citizenship, and it didn’t take a genius to understand that a Biden or Harris administration would pursue an open border policy. All of Central America was listening too, and the message was heard loud and clear.

Recently, in a meeting with Kamala Harris, America’s new border expert, Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei noted that almost immediately after Biden took office, U.S. immigration policy did a complete turnaround from President Trump’s firm stance on the border. Giammattei stated:

“The message changed to ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children’. The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”

This makes it all the more difficult for good, decent law-abiding Americans to accept Kamala Harris, the Biden regime’s “Border Czar”, and her words at face value or consider them to be honestly spoken, when she recently stood next to Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei, on June 7th, and abandoned her previously held assertion in 2017 that “an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal”, as she stated:

“If you come to our border, you will be turned back. … Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.”

Please note that on February 1, 2021; eleven Iranian citizens were caught at the border, and almost every week the Border Patrol catches a drug cartel member or members, a pedophile or rapist, murderers and even people known to have terrorist ties, along with a large array of Other Than Mexicans, from countries such as Romania, China, Nigeria, Ghana, Yemen and elsewhere.

If a state cannot defend itself and its people against foreign violence, just what can it do and what good is it?

Although states and States’ Rights bring a certain amount of decentralization to the federation, the Founders and most Americans, until recent times, understood we had to share a common cause and goals regarding our national security and borders, and that not everybody could be welcomed into our domain with open arms, for any number of reasons centered on crime and subversion from within and abroad. As such, it has been incumbent upon every U.S. president to faithfully execute and uphold U.S. law, as noted in Article 2, Section 3 [Full Text], Clause 5 of the Constitution that states the president “shall take care that the Laws be carefully executed”, along with Article 4, Section 4 that supposedly ensures the president and our government will protect us “against Invasion” and “against domestic Violence“.

The devious criminal deception of the Biden regime becomes all the more clear, once one discovers that Biden’s administration is now actually flying [and bussing] illegal aliens all across America to major population hubs, where they depart and board buses for parts unknown. We recently saw some of this play out right here in Tennessee, as four planes loaded with [JOS] illegal aliens arrived at Chattanooga’s Wilson Air Center between May 14th and May 19th 2021.

How does any of this make sense to anybody of sound mind? This is the policy of an idiot, a walking, mumbling imbecile, who simply wants to be remembered as the anti-Trump. Nobody other than the Biden regime and the Democratic Party Communists is going around saying, “Hey … let’s bring in plane loads of Romanians, Guatemalans, Yemenis, and Iranians”.

America is not morally bound to take everyone into the country for permanent settlement, and the entire world isn’t entitled to live in America.

In despicable fashion, the Biden regime is refusing to enforce immigration laws as written, taking a page from the Obama administration, leaving States’ borders unprotected against illegal aliens that should not be granted entry at all. And no matter what anyone says or tries to spin the issue, the sovereign States are not at the mercy of the Biden regime’s refusal to enforce United States immigration law. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact.

In 1833, Justice Joseph Story wrote:

“If aliens might be admitted indiscriminately to enjoy all the rights of citizens at the will of a single state, the Union might itself be endangered by an influx of foreigners, hostile to its institutions, ignorant of its powers, and incapable of a due estimate of its privileges.” [Scope of the Story quote: Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 3:§§ 1098—99]

This is the exact current modus operandi of the traitors and criminals in the top echelons of California’s state government, who seek to increase the numbers of those desirous of greater socialist programs while increasing their representation at the expense of the rest of the country; and, in the meantime, these illegals are also left free to travel state to state at will and making Americans suffer from coast to coast.

Many Democrats and other radicals are now trying to say that only the federal government has the right or authority to act in any regard on the border situation, because it is in their interests and aligned with their agenda to grow their voter base and power, to do nothing to stop the current invasion of illegal aliens. Nothing is further from the truth, and many of America’s earliest leaders addressed any conflict between a state’s authority and the federal government’s authority in some great specificity.

During the Virginia State Convention in 1788, John Marshall, who would become the fourth Chief Justice of the United States in 1801, stated the following in regards to the constitutional prohibition on State power, although Alexander Hamilton had previously stated it months earlier in a much lengthier manner in the Federalist Essay #32:

“The truth is, that when power is given to the general legislature, if it was in the state legislatures before, both shall exercise it, unless there be an incompatibility in the exercise by one to that of the other, or negative words precluding the state governments from it … All the restraints intended to be laid on the state governments (besides where an exclusive power is express given to Congress) are contained in the 10th section of the 1st article.”

The Constitution recognizes the sovereignty of the States and their authority and power to police their own borders. Sovereignty includes the authority to fiercely defend one’s own borders absent any valid federal prohibition; and once one reviews all the constitutional prohibitions on State power in Article 1, Section 10, it is readily apparent that there are absolutely no restraints on States that prevent them from acting decisively to halt illegal aliens from crossing the Southern Border into their State.

Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 (also often referred to as the Compact Clause) states:

“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, … engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

If a State has the power to engage in war through independent action when the danger is deemed “imminent”, it should stand to reason that the States also have the civil authority to protect their borders.

The Founders acknowledged the necessity of prohibitions on the States’ ability to wage war, but much like Justice Joseph Story, they also recognized that exceptions certainly needed to be noted, when the safety of all the States were involved and those exceptions were “not justly open to the objection of being dangerous to the Union.” In his commentary on the Compact Clause, Story wrote [(JOS) § 1398]:

“Still, a state may be so situated, that it may become indispensable to possess forces, to resist an expected invasion, or insurrection. The danger may be too imminent for delay; and under such circumstances, a state will have a right to raise troops, for its own safety, even without the consent of Congress.”

Bearing this very thing in mind, I wrote the following, in an article on June 6th:

“If the Federal Government and the Biden regime are not going to secure our borders, pray tell, just what is wrong with armed America militias within the border states stopping the illegal alien hordes at the border and forcing them back towards Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo or wherever from whence they came?“

Whether these folks have rifles or duffel bags of drugs or toddlers and babies in their arms, if hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border each month and on track to hit a total of two million by year’s end doesn’t constitute an invasion, I don’t know what does. Samuel Huntington, chair of Harvard Academy of International and Area Studies (1996-2004), wrote much the same in The Clash of Civilizations in 1996.

If able, every American, who loves this country and all it has traditionally represented across the ages, should be reaching deep within their pockets to send funds for the construction of the Texas border wall. And if that’s not an option, abled-body men seeking honest employment should be placing their names on the list of candidates for all jobs available in the construction of the Abbott Wall.

Far from a crisis in any normal sense of the word, no one should mistake the situation on America’s southern border for anything other than Biden’s Open Border policy and manufactured “crisis” that is a part of the Democratic Party’s Marxist agenda to complete the “fundamental transformation of America” through aliens who hold no real loyalty to America and Her traditions, to be used to erode and subvert the fabric of democratic mechanisms in local communities, while drawing checks from taxpayer funded welfare programs.

If America doesn’t soon secure Her borders in a sane, logical manner, we won’t have a nation any longer, because, regardless of Joe Biden’s attempt to purge our language of words such as “illegal” and “assimilation”, without a common language and common cultural norms brought forth through picking and choosing good candidates for U.S. citizenship, who will assimilate and uphold and defend America and Her principles, America will be torn apart by increasing tribalism and balkanization, while the nation’s traitors and imbeciles grow in power, and She will fall into ruin and shambles. Biden’s Open Border Policy and unrestrained illegal immigration will change America from the Shining City on the Hill that holds forth a river of hope into a sewer of despair.

Pence Card -OR- GOP No Longer Relevant

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© December 27, 2020

On January 6, 2021Vice President Mike Pence apparently can unilaterally save the Republic by invalidating criminally acquired Electoral votes or do nothing insuring the destruction of the Republican Party. Unless President Trump has an alternative plan to overrule a criminal election coup, Pence inaction on 1/6 solidified a Biden/Harris path to a 1/20 Dem-Marxist Inauguration. It is my opinion – my hope – such a 1/20 travesty will lead to an armed rebellion making the Antifa/BLM Marxist paramilitary look like an amateur hour.

If the Republic miraculously survives a Biden/Harris Inauguration, a new Patriot-friendly political will emerge to replace Deep State infected Republicans. Just as the national landscape of the Whig Party disintegrated over the issue of slavery, the Republican Party will disappear because American Patriots want nothing to do with a corrupt government ran by criminals and do-nothing Republicans.

So, Pence, do we prolong a Republican Party under a Trump second term or do Patriots start looking for name options for a new relevant Political Party?

It’s for Mike Pence to Judge whether a Presidential Election Was Held at All

By Ted Noel

December 26, 2020

American Thinker

On January 6, a joint session of Congress will open with Vice President Pence presiding as president of the Senate. His power will be plenary and unappealable. You heard that right. As president of the Senate, every objection comes directly to him, and he can rule any objection “out of order” or “denied.” His task will be to fulfill his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to ensure that the laws be faithfully executed. This is a high standard of performance, and V.P. Pence will have two choices. He can roll over on “certified” electors, or he can uphold the law.

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution gives state legislatures “plenary authority” as enunciated in Bush v. Gore. This is key, since the counting of votes is discussed in Article II, the 12th Amendment, and 3 USC 15. To this we must add the history of counting and objections recounted by Alexander Macris (here and here). Put bluntly, it’s as clear as mud. Add to that the fact that the contested states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have sent dueling slates of electors to D.C. This means that the V.P. has to decide how he will handle the situation when two sealed envelopes are handed to him from any of those states.

Macris points out that in 1800, even with constitutional deficiencies in Georgia, Thomas Jefferson blithely counted defective electoral votes from Georgia, effectively voting himself into the presidency. This demonstrates that the president of the Senate is the final authority on any motions or objections during the vote-counting. There is no appeal. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any outrage. Whatever Pence does, people will be angry. But what does the law demand?

Seven contested states clearly violated their own laws. Rather than list the facts, which have been detailed in multiple articles, we must consider the following:

An election is a process of counting votes for candidates. Only valid, lawful votes may be counted. A valid lawful vote is:

Cast by an eligible, properly registered elector as prescribed by laws enacted by the state Legislature.

Cast in a timely manner, as prescribed by laws enacted by the state Legislature.

Cast in a proper form as prescribed by laws enacted by the state Legislature.

Any process that does not follow these rules is not an election. Anything that proceeds from it cannot be regarded as having any lawful import.

Most commentators suggest that a process of collecting pieces of paper with marks on them is an election regardless of errors, omissions, and even deliberate malfeasance. This is a mistake. Imagine a golf tournament where every bad shot by one player gets a do-over, but the competing player has to follow USGA rules in detail. One player gets to drop freely out of hazards, but the other has to tackle every embedded ball as it lies. The result is a travesty.

The same thing applies to elections. If there are a handful of improper votes, we can suggest that there was in fact an election, perhaps tainted, but the election wasn’t materially harmed. But when the people charged with managing the election decide to ignore the law, whatever process they supervise is not the process defined by the law. Therefore, it is not an election.

This leaves V.P. Pence with a dilemma. He is a gentleman who regards our governmental traditions with a degree of reverence, so he will be reluctant to take any bold action. But as an honorable man, faced with massive illegality, he must act to protect the law. Consider how things might go down as the two closed envelopes from Georgia are handed to the V.P. Rather than opening them, he says:

In my hand are envelopes purporting to contain electoral votes from Georgia. They are competing for consideration, so it is essential that I consider the law that governs this. That law, according to the Legislature of Georgia and Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution is the Georgia statute that includes procedures for signature-matching on absentee ballots, a requirement that all absentee ballots be first requested by a legitimate voter, and that election monitors be meaningfully present at all times while votes were counted.

The Georgia secretary of state, who is not empowered by the U.S. Constitution to make changes to election law, entered into a Consent Decree that gutted these protections enacted by the Georgia Legislature. The processes that he prescribed and were ultimately followed were manifestly contrary to that law. Further, the State of Georgia, in unprecedented concert with other states, suspended counting of ballots in the middle of the night, covering its conspiracy with a false claim of a “water main break.” We now know from surveillance video that many thousands of “ballots” were counted unlawfully in the absence of legally required observers.

Finally, the State of Georgia, under the authority of secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, a non-legislative actor, used fatally flawed Dominion voting machines that have been demonstrated to be unreliable. In testing, the error rate of Dominion machines has exceeded 60%, far in excess of legal limits. They are designed to facilitate fraud without creating the legally required paper trail. This alone is far more than enough to swing an election.

Since the state of Georgia has failed to follow the election law established by its legislature under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, it has not conducted a presidential election. Therefore, no “presidential electors” were appointed in Georgia. Further, “electors” “certified” by non-legislative actors pursuant to this process are in fact not “presidential electors.” The competing slate of “electors” is similarly deficient, having not been elected through a presidential election.

Therefore, the chair rules that Georgia has not transmitted the votes of any presidential electors to this body. Georgia presents zero votes for Donald Trump and zero votes for Joseph Biden.

The central point is that the VP, as the presiding officer and final authority, has the unquestionable authority to declare that the states in question have not conducted presidential elections. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, but no one has the authority to override his decision.

The statement says nothing about who might or might not have “won” the contested states. Rather, by not following their own laws, as enacted by their own legislatures, they have violated Article II, Section 1. Thus, they have not conducted an election, and their results are void.

If the votes of all seven contested states are registered as zero, President Trump will have 232 votes, and Joe Biden will have 222. The 12th Amendment says, “[T]he votes shall then be counted[.] … The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President[.]”

In plain language, Donald Trump will be re-elected since he has a majority of the actual electoral votes. There will be no need to involve the House of Representatives to resolve a contingent election.

Richard Nixon chose not to contest the 1960 election because he felt that winning that way would lead to an ungovernable country. If V.P. Pence does this, that same argument might be made. But is the country governable even now? Blue states such as California, Oregon, Washington, New York, New Jersey, and Michigan are already operating in an openly lawless manner with their “emergency” “COVID-related” restrictions. Their denial of the civil rights of law-abiding citizens is horrific. Their refusal to do basic policing and law enforcement is a recipe for open war. How much worse would things be if the V.P. lived up to his oath and upheld the law?

Patriotism means awareness means Dem-Marxists are in the process of an election coup utilizing COVID-fearmongering to make America a One-Party Marxist State intent on controlling YOUR thinking and actions. Following the videos is a cross post of a National File article on how Vice President Pence as the President of the Senate Constitutionally can nullify disputed (i.e., criminally fraudulent) elections in five or is it six States.

STAND AND DELIVER, ANTI-LOCKDOWN SONG WRITTEN BY VAN MORRISON AND PERFORMED BY ERIC CLAPTON

Posted by TruthVideos1984

Van Morrison (75) recently shared three anti-lockdown protest songs, in which he accused the government of being “fascist bullies”. ‘No More Lockdown’, ‘Born to Be Free’ and ‘As I Walked Out’ were written in opposition to the government’s coronavirus restrictions.

Now, he and Clapton (75) have shared ‘Stand and Deliver’ that continues Morrison’s protest against the lockdowns.

All proceeds from the song will go to Morrison’s Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund, which helps musicians facing financial insecurity as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

Clapton said: ““We must stand up and be counted because we need to find a way out of this mess. The alternative is not worth thinking about. Live music might never recover.”

EXCLUSIVE: White House Memo Details How ‘Pence Card’ Can Save Trump’s Presidency On Dec 23

A White House memo that details how Vice President Mike Pence is legally required to reject Electoral College votes from contested states.

By TOM PAPPERT

December 22, 2020

National File

Sources in the Trump administration confirmed to National File that President Donald Trump’s most vocal advocates within the White House have determined that both U.S. Code and the Constitution contain language that requires Vice President Mike Pence to reject unlawful Electoral College certificates, but Pence must act by no later than Wednesday, December 23.

The drafters of this White House memo believe that the federal check to the states’ elections resides with Vice President Mike Pence in his role as President of the Senate. Additionally, Pence has the sole power determine whether to reject impermissible states of electors. However, Pence is legally required to do this on the fourth Wednesday in December, which this year falls on December 23.

National File’s sources in the White House indicated that the memo was requested by those in the President’s circle who are most keen to see the 2020 election, and the ensuing fallout, administered in as transparent of a manner as possible. They also indicate that the push to find a path to verify the 2020 election’s integrity is not coming solely from the White House, but also comes from across numerous agencies in the administration.

The emergence of the memo could mark a decided shift in roles for Pence, our sources explain. Since the days immediately following the election, Pence has remained relatively silent compared to President Trump and his legal team.

The revelation that Pence alone can reject allegedly fraudulent Electoral College certificates shifts the spotlight from President Trump and Congressional leaders significantly by putting President Trump’s electoral destiny squarely on Pence’s shoulders.

This memo will likely interfere with Pence’s travel plans, as the vice president recently announced his intention to travel to Israel for two weeks after January 6, when he will preside over a joint session of Congress, according to the Times of Israel.

What’s Inside The Memo

Pence can deny Electoral College certificates from states with widespread election fraud.

FROM THE MEMO:

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution requires that “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.” Therefore, the papers (or “slates”) the states attempted to submit to the President of the Senate and Archivist of the United States are not legal, permissible certificates of votes and lists by Electors as recited in Title 3, U.S.C., sections 9 and 11. Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin violated the U.S. Constitution’s Art. 2, S.1, Cl.2 and 14th Amendment, Section 1, Equal Protection Clause in administering their elections, therefore rendering their slates impermissible.

On Dec. 14, the States consummated a fraudulent and Constitutionally deficient certification of their electors as required by 3 USC 7. State and federal authorities have discovered Overwhelming evidence of election fraud and irregularities since Nov. 4, likely rising to the level of criminal election fraud and public corruption. Civil courts dismissed these claims procedurally, rather than on substance.

Pence must then notify the Secretary of State in each contested state that they have until January 6 to send a legal Electoral College certificate.

FROM THE MEMO:

The President of the Senate, as the Vice President, statutorily sits on the National Security Council and is privy to information no other individual in the Presidential electoral process has — not the States, not the SCOTUS, not U.S. Congress. This specifically includes any classified evidence and assessments which emanate from EO 13848 regarding foreign interference with US elections. Therefore, the President of the Senate is uniquely qualified to issue judgement on impermissible electors.

This is not an option for Pence. If he intends to follow the law from December 23 until January 6, he must instruct these states to remedy their Electoral College certificates.

FROM THE MEMO:

JUDGMENT: All of these factors above inform and contribute to the Vice President’s analysis in deciding that he, as the representative of the Federal Seat of Government did not “receive” a constitutionally permissible slate of electors. For that reason, he is not only duty-bound to request that the States send certificates and lists as required by Title 3, U.S.C., sections 9 and 11 from Electors that were appointed in the manner that the State Legislatures directed as soon as possible, he is also the sole plenary power that has the authority to make this determination.

The drafters of the memo also tell National File that, assuming the six contested states – Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada – do not remedy their Electoral College certificates by either selecting them in the Legislature or holding another election, President Trump will prevail in the Electoral College.

As there will no longer be 538 possible electoral votes, with several states having having disqualified themselves by refusing to comply, President Trump will have accrued 232 electors to Joe Biden’s 227.

‘Pence Card’ not Played, Amistad Lawsuit Goes into Effect Names Pence, Others say Date Not Important

By Kari Donovan

December 23, 2020

DJHJ MEDIA

President Trump retweeted a copy of a Memo, starting online conversations between people outlining authorities and powers that Vice President Mike Pence could have used by Midnight Wednesday night to stop the certification of electors in troubled states where there was suspected voter fraud, and it appears that Pence chose to ignore those powers, which, according to some posters result in him being named in a lawsuit by the Amistad Project.

That is one version of the story which many people are following. There is another version of the Constitutional duties Pence has that says Wednesday is not an important date in the process at all, and January 6th is the important date.

Deadline for @VP to act is not tonight. It is January 6.

— ArtOfWar (@ArtOfWarNews) December 24, 2020

If the “Pence card” theory is true, this is how it unfolds:

The idea was that Pence had until Midnight Wednesday to “pull the Pence Card” which was described as Pence sending demand letters to contested states, whose voter tallies were suspect.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the matter and said,” Many experts believe that Vice President Mike Pence has the duty to throw out electoral college recommendations in the 2020 election that are based on fraud.

This will then force these states to have their legislatures choose the set of delegates they believe will best represent the state’s election results.“

One reporter said, “President Trump has retweeted the #PenceCard memo, which details an argument set out by @Raiklin, showing how Vice President Pence has until midnight tonight to deny Electoral College votes from states with rampant voter fraud”

This is the Memo Trump tweeted Wednesday evening:

America, @VP @Mike_Pence MUST do this, tomorrow!

According to the Amistad lawsuit:

“The above-named Plaintiffs Wisconsin Voters Alliance, Pennsylvania Voters Alliance, Georgia Voters Alliance, Election Integrity Fund, Arizona Election Integrity Alliance, Lynie Stone, Baron Benham, Debi Haas, Brenda Savage, Matthew Dadich, Leah Hoopes, Ron Heuer, Richard W. Kucksdorf, Debbie Jacques, John Wood, Sonny Borrelli, Warren Peterson, Matthew Maddock Daire Rendon, David Steffen, Jeff L. Mursau, William T. Ligon and Brandon Beach, for their complaint, allege as follows:

Vice President Michael Richard Pence is a Defendant sued in his official capacity as President of the United States Senate. As such, Pence is identified as having legal obligations under the Constitution and federal law regarding opening and counting the ballots of Presidential electors for President and Vice President.

INTRODUCTION

State Legislatures are Prohibited from Fulfilling Their Constitutional Responsibility.

This lawsuit seeks protection of voters’ rights in Presidential elections. Voters in Presidential elections have a constitutional right to have their respective state legislatures meet after the election and certify their votes and, based on the votes, certify the Presidential electors whose votes are counted in Congress to elect the President and Vice President.

In drafting Article II, the Framers of the Constitution reasoned state legislatures should select Presidential electors so as “to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder” and to place “every practicable obstacle [to] cabal, intrigue, and corruption,” including “foreign” powers” that might try to insinuate themselves into our elections.

Article II limited Congress’s role in selecting the President and provided no constitutional role for Governors. Yet, at present state legislatures should select Presidential electors so as “to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder” and to place “every practicable obstacle [to] cabal, intrigue, and corruption,” including “foreign powers” that might try to insinuate themselves into our elections.

STANDING

As voters, the Plaintiffs have legal standing to bring these constitutional claims to ensure that Presidential elections are constitutionally conducted by Defendants.27

The Plaintiffs claim that Article II of the U.S. Constitution provides a voter a constitutional right to the voter’s Presidential vote being certified as part of the state legislature’s post-election certification of Presidential electors. Absence such certification, the Presidential electors’ votes from that state cannot be counted by the federal Defendants toward the election of President and Vice President. Because the Plaintiffs’ votes are not counted as part of the constitutionally-required state legislative post-election certification of Presidential electors, the Defendants are causing the Plaintiffs to be disenfranchised. See Baten v. McMaster, 967 F.3d 345, 352–53 (4th Cir. 2020) (voters who vote in Presidential elections have standing on claims of government causing disenfranchisement).

When Defendants violate the Constitution as it relates to Presidential elections in the Defendant, all voters in Presidential elections suffer an injury-in-fact caused by the Defendants.

Voters in a Presidential election, in this instance, have an injury-in-fact different than the public because when they voted and they had an interest that the election in which they voted is constitutionally-conducted. The same is true of future elections. Finally, the Court can redress the Plaintiffs’ injuries by issuing a declaratory judgment and accompanying injunction to enjoin the Defendants’ unconstitutional conduct.

As voters, each Plaintiff has a fundamental right to vote.28 Thus, each Plaintiff has a recognized protectable interest. As the U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized, a person’s right to […]

Suspiciously, the Lincoln project, a group of failed Republican consultants with ties to foreign interests, who hate Trump, took credit for starting the idea that Pence would betray Trump with the “PenceCard”, which then led to an article in Axios that allowed leftist media to attack Trump, and dehumanize him.

The Lincoln Project bragging:

— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) December 24, 2020

THis Axios article is the result of the Lincoln Project braggart mythology:

As we reported yesterday morning .. President Trump was unaware until very recently of the role Pence plays on Jan 6. A Lincoln Project ad that ran in the DC market – called “Pence” – put it on his radar. Trump has mentioned the ad repeatedly in private. https://t.co/T4YKkpYem1

At this point it is unclear what Pence’s thoughts are on the “Pence Card” play. His latest post was:

As of 3:12 PM 12/9/20; The Gateway Pundit reports SEVENTEEN States joined Texas in suing Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania over Election UNCONSTITUTIONAL issues directly to SCOTUS. (My opinion: Nevada and Arizona should be included as culprits.)

I am cross posting three articles beginning with the article by TGP. This will be followed by an Epoch Times article touching on President Trump’s perspective. Which will be followed by a Just The News article examining a Constitutional application of the Texas-Plus lawsuit.

Hopefully more States demand SCOTUS end this Dem-Marxist Election criminality AND a bunch of Patriots swamp the SCOTUS building in peaceful (UNLESS the Dem-Marxist paramilitary Antifa/BLM show up) protest.

Trump Says He Will Intervene in Texas’ SCOTUS Election Case

An American flag waves in front of the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill in Washington on Nov. 2, 2020. (Patrick Semansky/AP Photo)

By TOM OZIMEK

December 9, 2020 Updated: December 9, 2020

The Epoch Times

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he and/or members of his legal team would join, as intervenors, the lawsuit brought by Texas’ Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton to the U.S. Supreme Court against four battleground states.

“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” Trump said in a tweet.

An intervention, in legal terms, is a procedure that lets a nonparty join ongoing litigation if the case affects the rights of that party. The court considering an application to intervene, in this case the U.S. Supreme Court, has the discretion to allow or deny such a request.

In the lawsuit, Texas is alleging that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin introduced last-minute unconstitutional changes to election laws, treated voters unequally, and triggered significant voting irregularities by relaxing ballot-integrity measures. The lawsuit is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that the four battleground states conducted the 2020 election in violation of the Constitution.

The suit, filed on Dec. 7 and docketed the next day, is also seeking to prohibit the count of the Electoral College votes cast by the four states. For the defendant states that have already appointed electors, it asks the court to direct the state legislatures to appoint new electors in line with the Constitution.

Trump’s remarks about joining the suit as an intervenor came after several states expressed their support for the lawsuit. Attorneys general for Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri, and Louisiana have issued statements in support of Paxton’s motion.

On Tuesday, the president wondered if lawmakers or judges have the courage to help him challenge election results in key battleground states.

“Let’s see whether or not somebody has the courage—whether it’s a legislator or legislatures, or whether it’s a justice of the Supreme Court or a number of justices of the Supreme Court. Let’s see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right,” Trump told a press conference in Washington during a summit on COVID-19 vaccines.

In the complaint to the Supreme Court, Paxton argues that the four battleground states had acted in a way that violated their own election laws and thereby breached the Constitution through enacting and implementing new measures, rules, and procedures right before the Nov. 3 election.

In some instances, the defendant states enacted such measures through the use of so-called friendly lawsuits, in which the plaintiff and the defendant collude to procure a court order, the lawsuit alleges. In other instances, a variety of state election officials allegedly exceeded their authority to promulgate rules and procedures that should have been enacted by each state’s legislature, as required by the Constitution’s Elections and Electors clause.

“The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,” Paxton said in a statement.

Attorneys general from the defendant states have disputed the allegations in the lawsuit.

Paxton argued that the actions he outlined in his complaint “constitute non-legislative changes to State election law by executive-branch State election officials, or by judicial officials” and, as such, votes cast by Electoral College electors pursuant to these actions should not be considered constitutionally valid.

Texas is also asking the Supreme Court (pdf) to grant a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order to block the four states from taking action to certify their election results or to prevent the state’s presidential electors from taking any official action. The presidential electors are scheduled to meet on Dec. 14.

The court has ordered the defendant states to respond to Texas’s motions by 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10.

Texas files lawsuit directly to Supreme Court challenging election results in four states

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argues WI, MI, PA and GA made changes to election rules without legislative consent, violating the U.S. Constitution

By John Solomon and Carrie Sheffield

Updated: December 8, 2020 – 3:49pm

Just The News

In a novel legal strike, the state of Texas has asked the Supreme Court to invalidate the election results in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, arguing officials in those four battleground states violated the Constitution by making changes to how ballots were cast and counted without legislative approval.

The lawsuit filed late Monday night by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the justices to issue a temporary restraining order preventing the states “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”

The suit argues that changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.”

“I’m worried about the credibility of elections, not just right now, but I’m worried about the credibility of elections going forward,” Paxton told Just the News on Tuesday afternoon in a phone interview. “I’m not making a fraud argument, I’m making an argument based on the Constitution. And what we know happened, which was that we know state law was changed by people other than the state legislature, which is the only constitutionally authorized changes that are allowed … My argument is that the law was violated, the constitution was violated. I’m not addressing whether there was 2 million fraudulent ballots cast in Pennsylvania. I don’t know, and there’s no way to know, the way the system got set up, the way the rules got changed.”

States are allowed in certain circumstances to appeal directly to the Supreme Court, bypassing lower federal courts, in disputes involving other states. Paxton argued the state of Texas was wrongly harmed by the unconstitutional acts of the other states.

“These non-legislative changes … facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution,” the suit stated. “By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.”

You can read the full lawsuit here:

Texas Lawsuit 12 – 8- 20.pdf

Paxton said the defendant states may have had good intentions in making changes to the elections to address COVID-19 but nonetheless violated the Constitution, requiring a dramatic remedy.

“Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting,” the suit argued. “The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect they made the 2020
election less secure in the Defendant States.”

The lawsuit was backed by the Thomas More Society’s Amistad Project, a conservative group that has taken the national lead in challenging election irregularities in 2020. “The lawless nature of the 2020 election is on full display in the suit filed by Texas,” Amistad director Phill Kline said. “There was a coordinated and unprecedented effort of private interests improperly joining with leftist government officials to illegally support the democrat ticket in this election. This involved the sharing of sensitive citizen information with the private sector and the flow of more than $500 million from the private sector to targeted government officials and local governments.”

Paxton told Just the News he did not rely on research from the Amistad Project in his lawsuit and as of Tuesday afternoon had not spoken with other states about the issue but anticipated he could when he arrives in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Paxton’s scheduled to meet with President Trump on a pre-arranged meeting.

Paxton rejected interpretations of stare decisis arguments saying that some states have wrongly trying to redefine who has constitutional authority over running elections in order to sow chaos and delay a clear presidential election result.

“I know what the Constitution requires, and it’s always required that,” Paxton said. “It’s the Constitution, so if case law says that the Constitution shouldn’t be the Constitution, well, I think that case law’s wrong.”

However, Paxton said he is hopeful the U.S. Supreme Court — including with the newly-sworn Justice Amy Coney Barrett to possibly tip the balance — will ultimately restore Constitutional order under a strict textualist reading that prohibits what Paxton said was last-minute judicial usurpation of the prerogatives of state legislatures to make election rules.

“I’m always for reading based on what the Framers meant, otherwise we don’t really have a Constitution if it’s just nine judges up there and they can make up whatever they want,” Paxton said. “We don’t really have a Constitution, we just have a ruling oligarchy of nine judges. And I’m in favor of judges who aren’t making the law for us and telling us what to do. I’m in favor of judges who are put there, they look at the law as it was written, whether by a legislature by the Founders, and they follow it. That’s their job.”

Some Stood for Freedom

The Solution Requires Americans With Backbones and Strong Hearts

Mac’s Public House Supportive Protesters

By Justin O. Smith

Sent December 5, 2020 9:54 PM

There comes a day where one stops laughing to keep from crying, long after one has exhausted all peaceful means to rectify a severe and egregious wrong committed against all Americans. A day arrives that bears witness to the bulk of the American population rising to say it will not tolerate the growing and ever emerging and advancing tyranny from the respective states involved, the majority of U.S. States, or the federal government; but, that day is not today, unfortunately, because only a few hundreds and sometimes thousands have gathered in any real protest against the mask mandates and the lockdowns that are once more being implemented nationwide, on the advice of unelected technocrats, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, as a weakness runs through the nation that, by and large, is crying through masked and muffled mewings, “give us lockdowns and keep us safe” rather than demanding after the fashion of Patrick Henry, “give me liberty or give me death“.

For at least nine months now, America has witnessed governors and mayors across the nation shut down virtually all small businesses, especially those deemed “nonessential”, forcing them to their demise, while the big corporate businesses are deemed “essential” and raking in billions of dollars, from customers and the federal government “stimulus” Bail Outs for Everybody. And at the same time, these smug elitists issue stay at home orders, we see them in public too often at their own favorite eatery, maskless and thoroughly enjoying the company of many at a single table. And yet, these governors appear on newscasts speaking only of supposed Covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths, while never once making mention of all the businesses forced into extinction and the newly unemployed as a result of their policies, as if such results are inconsequential and do not matter at all.

Incredibly, we see pockets of radicalism rear their heads in even my home state of Tennessee, typically considered a fairly conservative state. Several of our larger cities have decided to impose the same tyrannical measures one might expect to see in California, where Southern California has just been locked down. Nashville Mayor John Cooper arbitrarily ordered that no more than eight people could gather together in the city, even their home, as Thanksgiving Day approached, and in Shelby County (Memphis), health department “officials” declared that masks shall be worn at all times while eating, except between bites.

And now, we have to listen to the dancing clown, Dr. Anthony Fauci tell various newscasters, as recently as December 1st, that the country should be kept locked down until the fall or such time as 75 to 85 percent of the U.S. population has received the “new vaccine” rushed through to completion, to be held suspect at best, for many reasons I’ve previously noted in past articles.

Dr. Ramin Oskoui told Laura Ingraham, Fox News host, on December 4th, that it doesn’t make sense to require children to be vaccinated, when the CDC’s own research and statistics prove that 99.64 percent of all children under the age of 18, who become infected by “the Virus” survive it without any ill effects. Dr. Oskoui further explained that the same phenomena that occurred with the Dengue Virus Vaccine, which actually worsened the virus in children rather than saving them, could quite conceivably occur with the Covid 19 virus vaccine, since it was produced on such an accelerated timeline, and it has yet to meet the real test through this proposed mass inoculation.

The more one researches what has transpired, since September 2019 the more it becomes apparent America, and the rest of the world too, is not dealing with a first-class medical emergency, but rather a sinister plan to roll out a vaccine that carries a microchip implant for the purpose of tracking anybody who receives it. This is not so fantastic a claim, since it’s already been developed, by MIT, through massive donations by Bill and Melinda Gates, one month before the announcement of the Covid-19 outbreak.

[Blog Editor: In full disclosure I am not an anti-vaxxer. BUT I don’t care how effective a vaccine is, IF there is any kind tracking/tracing component in the vaccine I will NOT voluntarily receive an injection. Now if you are foolish enough to believe Left-Wing fact checkers that vaccine-tracking is a Conspiracy Theory falsehood, KEEP IN MIND these are the same lying traitors telling Americans Election Fraud did not happen – nothing to see here, don’t believe your eyes or eyewitnesses. So here is the data Leftist fact checkers don’t want you to believe:

Remember – Leftists lie, particularly when a Leftie calls truth a lie.]

In a sick, twisted, delusional, despicable tyrannical statement earlier this week, Eric Garcetti, LA’s despotic mayor, prohibited “all travel, including, without limitation, travel on foot, bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, automobile, or public transit” with very few exceptions made, in Paragraph V. Some exceptions include people working in the healthcare and news industry, while residents of LA have been ordered “to remain in their homes”, as the order even attempts to bar household gatherings and require non-essential businesses to either close or conduct business from home, if applicable.

It’s past time for all American patriots to reclaim our Constitutional rights.

Periodically, we see the lone bar or restaurant pushing back against some illegitimate and illegal executive order, as local supporters stand nearby with television cameras running. We’ve seen it in New Jersey where a gym owner stood up to the Governor and state and local police, and most recently we have seen pockets of resistance pop up again on Staten Island, New York and in Los Angeles, California. These should be taken as symbols for freedom and become the rule of the day rather than the exception.

The [JOS] owner of the Pineapple Bar and Grill on Van Nuys Boulevard took to social media to plead her case, as her restaurant’s outdoor dining area was closed down by LA’s powers-that-be at the same time a movie production company was setting up an outdoors dining area for employees, just feet across the way from her business. The movie people have since removed their tented site, and although the owner of PB & G has taken her fight to social media, she should have filed an injunction against the county and city to halt their actions, and she should have remained open in defiance of these illegal, unconstitutional executive orders.

The owner of Mac’s Public House, Keith McAlarney, did everything he could to comply with Governor Coumo’s and Mayor DeBlasio’s far-reaching and extremely tyrannical diktats and executive orders, until it became a matter of survival and his business staying open or closing its doors forever. McAlarney made the only choice he could possibly have made. He chose freedom and business as usual, in order to be able to feed his family and keep a roof over their head, and as a result, he was threatened with many thousands of dollars in fines and even jail time.

Mac’s Public House, Keith McAlarney Surrounded by Cops

It’s impossible to cogently and logically argue with McAlarney’s objections, as he asked: “Why is everybody allowed to cram themselves into a Target or a Best Buy or into the mall or any other large company, big corporation companies, and they’re running shoulder to shoulder with each other … but my establishment all of a sudden somehow seems to be the only place that somebody is able to contract corona?”

His lawyer has advised him that his choice to remain open and conduct regular business was in line with the law and that he would be standing with his client until the end, come what may.

As hundreds of protesters rallied around him and his business as he defied the illegal Covid orders, [JOS] they chanted “Open Up”, even as Danny Presti, co-owner, was led away in handcuffs like some sort of hardened criminal. Presti stated: “I have nothing to lose.” And later, both owners made note that only a block away, other businesses were being allowed to function without any restrictions, which was one of the main reasons they decided to take the path they chose, rather than watch everything they had worked so hard to build destroyed in a matter of weeks.

Mike Coughlin, owner of the Village Tavern and Grill in Carol Stream, Illinois, has found himself placed in the same predicament, after he followed every new arbitrary “rule” for new limited capacity seating by Governor J.B. Pritzker and staff. However, in early November, Pritzker once again arbitrarily and illegally changed the rules and moved the goal posts, demolished them really, by suspending indoor dining. Seeing no other recourse, Coughlin chose to defy the Governor and the State of Illinois, as he declared: “I’m not going to be the guy with the boarded-up building because I follow somebody else’s science.”

It’s a flawed science at best.

Well before the end of August 2020, the facts made it clear. Covid is dangerous for select segments of any population center, but it has an infinitesimal and low death rate among the young and healthy.

Arlene’s Grocery, an iconic spot on the Lower East Side of New York City that helped budding young artists and musicians get their start, is now in danger of closing its doors, and it made the following appeal over the Thanksgiving Day holiday:

“Hit hard like many, the Covid pandemic has devastated our industry. After 25 years of serving the Lower East Side and giving a platform for musicians and artists alike, Arlene’s Grocery is on life support. Without any aid, we will not be able to continue to serve our community and will be closing our doors on February 1st (2021). The owners and staff members are absolutely heartbroken. Arlene’s has become home to so many over the years and we are in desperate need of your help.”

Arlene’s Grocery Might Close on 2/1/21

YES. Arlene’s needs YOUR help, the help of everyday Americans, not “stimulus” after “stimulus” that creates more troubles for the nation on down the road. if all businesses had taken this same action sooner and prodded our people from their homes, the situation would not be so dire at the moment. Blind obedience to a faulty, misleading and deceptive presentation of “the science” has driven us to this appointment with destiny, but it’s not too late to make a course correction.

How can we even still be at this point given all we now know, regarding Covid’s relative non-lethal results for the biggest portion of the population? We know for certain that 99.64 percent of everybody under the age of 18 survives Covid without any ill effects, and yet, we still have many asinine ongoing measures keeping schools closed in most states.

According to the Associated Press in November, five of the six U.S. states with the lowest unemployment rates have the fewest Covid-19 restrictions.

The Covid 19 measures are nothing less than a massive, corrupt, criminal overreach of power. They have no real basis in “the science” that is so often breathlessly touted by the petty tyrants, elected and unelected, who would be king and care not one wit for the Bill of Rights.

And while Governors, such as Andrew Cuomo of New York, ignore Supreme Court rulings calling their actions “UNCONSTITUTIONAL”, the upper-crust of society, those “elites” who cannot be trouble by the “Great Unwashed” of the madding masses, go about unaffected by any lockdowns, since they can comfortably work from home, most of the working and middle class Americans must actually show up to work, or they don’t receive a dime, and they certainly cannot work and care for their families under such restrictive and arbitrary rules and insane, suicidal lockdowns.

The solution for all of this is really pretty simple, but it requires all Americans to exhibit some backbone and a strong heart and will to do more than simply survive, by holding one’s hands out to the government, in pitiful hopes of receiving some small stimulus check that is a temporary and poor fix considering all that is at stake and the consequences if we stay the current course, without pushing back on these illegitimate, illegal executive orders, in the name of taking back our liberty, freedom and our lives.

The petty despots and tyrants of America have brought us a new virus, as they pretend to battle Covid-19. They’ve infected the nation with the virus of tyranny for which there isn’t any cure other than a righteous stand for freedom and liberty by America’s fine, good and decent patriots, moving in unison along any path necessary to prevent a communist takeover of America and the destruction of our Republic. This tyranny virus cannot be defeated through moderation or denying its existence. Extreme measures are friends of all who love America and liberty, in this war to remain free.

Americans must not be overwhelmed by their sadness over the situation, and they must not allow the Marxists, globalists and statists of both parties across the nation enforce a “new normal” that is anything but normal. This is a time to shake one’s self hard, slap one’s face in the mirror, and get damned good and angry over the dead and dying businesses in our communities. This is the time to open everything up and make the authorities move to arrest us, if they really see that as their “Constitutional duty”, in spite of the fact there is nothing Constitutional in such actions. It’s time to return to a true normal by getting angry as all hell and engaging in civil disobedience, in order to make a righteous stand against a dark and growing tyranny in the halls of our governments and in our lands.

The United States Constitution guarantees that all Americans in all fifty states will live under representative self-government in a republic and not under fascistic despots, wearing Nikes and shirts with Antifa, BLM and Che Guevara logos and carrying syringes in their neo-fascist toolkits. It’s time for any and all resistance against any government entity and any government agent, elected and unelected, that have shown so little regard for the lives of all Americans, so negatively impacted by their unscientific demands over the course of this so-called “pandemic”, even up to and including picking up one’s rifle and placing the fear of God in them, sending a few homes to their maker, if they insist on suppressing our Inalienable God-Given Rights.

An Argument for Filling Ginsburg’s Seat Immediately

An ACT for America email shares a Frank Salvato Post (without crediting source) that is very effective in support of the Constitution showing it is President Trump’s duty to submit a nomination to SCOTUS to replace unborn baby-killing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who is deceased.

An Argument for Filling Ginsburg’s Seat Immediately

By Frank Salvato

Sent 9/21/2020 6:19 AM

Sent from ACT for America (info@act4america.org)

In the aftermath of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tensions on both sides of the aisle are high. With a hotly contested General Election just weeks away, some in the pundit/activist spheres, conditioned by the acceptance of civil unrest in our urban areas, are calling for acts of violence should President Trump nominate his pick to fill the vacancy on the bench.

The problem with this, besides the obvious, is that Mr. Trump has no choice but to deliver his nomination to the Senate for confirmation unless he is to be irresponsible to the nation’s needs and the Constitution’s mandates.

In an array of tweets, several self-important personalities issued violent threats against the country should the President and the Senate actually do their constitutional duties:

“If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f—–g thing down” and “Over our dead bodies. Literally,” tweeted Reza Aslan, an Iranian-born CNN host, born-again Islamist, and author.

“F–k no. Burn it all down,” tweeted Aaron Gouveia, author of Raising Boys To Be Good Men: A Parent’s Guide to Bringing Up Happy Sons in a World Filled with Toxic Masculinity and Father who defended his 5-year old son’s right to wear fingernail polish.

“We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election,” tweeted Beau Willimon, a former aid[e] to John Dean’s failed Senate bid and screenwriter who pilfered the idea for House of Cards from the British version.

“Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS,” tweeted Emmett Macfarlane, a Canadian professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.

If you are disturbed by the level of hatred, aggression, and complete disregard to the rule of law and the US Constitution then you haven’t been paying attention to what has been going on in the whole of America’s urban centers for the past six months.

But what both the foreign nationals and the US citizens noted above do not understand, for their constitutional illiteracy, is that there are two pressing reasons why Justice Ginsburg’s seat needs to be filled before the November election.

First and foremost, the country needs a full complement on the US Supreme Court should there be any contest to the election results this November the likes of Bush v. Gore in 2000. A deadlocked 4-to-4 decision regarding the election of a president would send a fireball of violence into the streets of our nation, not to mention dismantle continuity of government. With our nation as divided as it is, we would almost assuredly devolve into a Second US Civil War.

But more important is that the President and the US Senate are mandated by the US Constitution to execute the workings of government. The moment a vacancy is created it is mandated that the process of filling that vacancy begin. The bad precedent that politicians have set in elongating this process is just that: bad precedent.

Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution states, in part:

“[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law…”

As you can see, nowhere in this Article, or anywhere else in the US Constitution, does it call for a period of mourning, an exception in an election year, or a hiatus due to an impending election. The US Constitution simple vests the authority and mandates its execution.

Just as when the vice president is immediately sworn in as president when a president is tragically taken from us, so too is it necessary to immediately begin the process of filling vacancies in every other constitutional branch of office and especially in the face of a critical national election. The execution of these constitutional duties is not a sign of disrespect for the recently passed, it’s a mandated exercise in continuity of government, and that is government’s obligation to its people.

Politicians would love to drag out the filling of Justice Ginsburg’s seat on the bench for political reasons; to suit their political agendas. Activists, Marxists revolutionaries, and ideologues would relish the elongation of the process in hopes that Mr. Trump loses his re-election bid so that Biden (or Harris) might nominate someone approved by the group-think, oligarchic elite of the Marxist-Progressive Left, the cabal that controls all things Democrat.

But politics is not government. Let me say that again. Politics is not government. We all have gotten so used to mistaking political acts for acts of government that we have become accepting of the falsehood that the political parties have any legitimacy in the execution of government. We have been duped into believing that politics is government, but politics is not — and never should have been — a component of government.

The shrieks of the political class who threaten retribution are the sounds of ideologues threatening the US Constitution. Politics and political operatives hold no sway over the mandates of the US Constitution. And while the Sen. Schumers and Speaker Pelosis of the Left talk about a period of mourning, that mourning must happen simultaneously with the execution of government, which means the seating of a ninth US Supreme Court justice prior to a national election.

President Washington warned us in his farewell address that politics would be the ruin of the Republic. So far, his warning has been both spot on and ignored. Where some would say the enemy is inside the gates, I put it to you that the enemy is, in fact, elected to office.

Treason: Undermining the Constitution and the President

I ran into Dr. Garrow’s post on Facebook while posting one of my own threads. The post is relatively brief yet inspiring. As the Editor of my blog I added embedded links which I believe makes the post a richer read. Thus in full disclosure the links reflect my thought and Dr. Garrow may or may not agree or appreciate my thinking.

What Dr. Garrow is implying in a nice way, the Marxist riots ravaging America and actually receiving verbal support from Dems and the Mainstream Media undermines the Founders’ vision of a Republic dedicated to Law abiding Americans rather than a government Marxist principles.

Treason: Undermining the Constitution and the President

By James Garrow

June 3, 2020 9:12 AM

Facebook Group – Paul E. Vallely – The General’s Group

Putting aside the kinds of differences in world view that have been obvious since the first Socialists took office in America, it would seem that the shoe banging on his desk and threat to “bury” America was as real as it could get. Since those days in the 60’s when the United Nations played host to the Russian leadership flexing muscles that put fear into the entire world’s hearts, a new and different subtlety has permeated the efforts to undo the Capitalist agenda and lay waste to actual history versus speechifying and flights of fantasy.

By replacing real history with an imagined path that led from the rise of the proletariat into the suborning of the dictates of the elites and the notion that the common man was best served by replacing the order of things with Communist/Socialist principles the group think mentality replaced the responsibility of the individual. America’s national psyche answered to a set of morals and mores that reflected the desires of a Supreme Being as outlined in the Ten Commandments. Love and forgiveness completed the evolution of the relationship between the created and the creator. Obedience to His Law and commands was empowered by the assistance of God’s Spirit and the renewing of a sinful nature with a clean beginning. Recognition of God as Supreme was clear from America’s beginnings and formed the foundations of the Declaration of Independence and the development of a Constitution [Blog Editor: See HERE, HERE & HERE] amid hearty debate and thoughtful growth over time.

We have reached a place in time where what is being tested is whether mob rule would or could replace the Law of the Land and the social contract entered into by the Founding Fathers and continued for over 300 years successfully. The expectation that orderliness can rise from chaos or that wrongs can be righted through violence and reprisal goes against common sense and the foundations of the Republic itself. Those who would overthrow these foundations to be replaced by a notion that has failed to secure freedom and security in every nation that bought its bitter answer to repression have no answer but authoritarian rule by a new elite that has never proven itself worthy of our fielty [Blog Editor: I suspect the author meant fealty for there is a difference. Fealty vs Fielty – I’ll let you decide]. To overthrow the peace that is brought about by the social contract that has been the envy of the world is to place our bets for the future on a flimsy ghost of an idea. Let’s not do that.

Americans! REMEMBER the Declaration and Constitution

John R. Houk

The Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic thrust on America and the world by a totalitarian Chinese Communist government is a real fact even if Globalists, Dem-Marxists and the Leftist MSM propaganda machines spout a contrary lie.

That Chinese pandemic has had a chilling effect on the American way of life. For Americans willing to open their eyes a fortunate effect is the full display of how a Dem Party dominated U.S. government will literally rule with despotism ignoring the U.S. Constitution.

Then there is President Trump. A man who has trusted bureaucrats way too much from the very beginning of his first term in Office. Trump has been proven to me a man of good intentions for Americans yet duped by RINOs, GOP Globalists and government bureaucrats intent on Globalist agendas more than American Liberty and Patriotism.

I have no idea how Trump will pull a team of Americans to correct past badly placed trust. BUT I DO KNOW Trump is at least a stall stop gap if reelected to another 4 years as President. A Dem President will run America despotically just as Dem Governors have operated during this Chinese perpetrated Pandemic virus exploited toward American ruination and potential submission to a ChiCom dominated New World Order.

I FOR ONE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO A ChiCom NWO in my AMERICA!

Justin Smith has two recent submissions to this Blog reflecting growing American frustration with the Federal and State government ignoring the U.S. Constitution and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence that freed Americans from past foreign despotism.

Conscience Asks ‘Is It Right’?

The Darkest Time In American History

By Justin O. Smith

Sent 5/22/2020 11:20 PM

“And on some positions, Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But Conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.” ~ Martin Luther King, January 14th 1968, Santa Rita, CA

When will Americans stop supporting those very men and women in Congress, from both sides of the political aisle, and this administration that are America’s very Destroyers?

Charles Montesquieu, famous philosopher and theorist, noted in 1748 that for a despotism to survive and thrive, fear must be present. A despot must not allow his subjects to sense him loosening his grip on power, or they will pounce and take him down, so he must keep them in fear of his power and previously displayed tendency to use force, for his power over them to last.

Why is America currently allowing despotic governments their way, by and large? As I see many protesters in many states demanding the states reopen, I can only hope this rejuvenates the population to once again create a majority of liberty-loving, responsible, courageous “give me liberty or give me death” people.

It is past time for America’s patriots to spill the blood of her tyrant’s on the Tree of Liberty and to nullify the very governments that have nullified our rights.

Of late, I have had a great bit of time to consider many things about this nation, this exceptional country called “America”, that has given me so many fond memories from my childhood, such as trips the family made to Monticello and Mt Vernon, the homes of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. I could probably regale many with tales of the culture of rugged people who founded this America we love so well, but somewhere along the way, my appetite for storytelling has disappeared during the post-TARP journey most of us have made through this American Oblivion after 2008, as the mindless, soulless economic vampires mandate that no one is too big to fail and the Federal Reserve acts like the florist in the Little Shop of Horrors, cooperating with career liars and moneychangers.

America is being destroyed by men and women in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, and the Trump administration, in front of the reopen calls and a hard push for more stimulus and in the wake of the COVID event. Casting aside any pretense, the Republican Party, under the Trump Brand, has completely abandoned any once held conservative values and any semblance of advocating for fiscally responsible government. And Trump and his New Republican Party are now the new face of Democratic Socialism and a new “conservatism” that holds no price is too high to pay, just as long as Big Government grows bigger and Individual Liberty shrinks.

Fearing what a damaged economy will do to his presidency and his re-election chances, Trump has spent rivers of money, bleeding the U.S. Treasury and the American people for trillions of dollars that pushes an unsustainable national debt — currently hitting $25 trillion and charging warp speed to $40 trillion in the near future — off onto the next generations, in an attempt to stave off the Greater Depression and save his chances for another term in the Oval Office.

Don’t believe me? What would one call the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, priced at $350 billion, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, sucking away $2.2 trillion and the CARES Act intervention for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program, at a cost of $500 billion, if not more Big Government Democratic Socialism, the sort that would make FDR grin ear to ear?

Adding insult to injury, immediately after signing the CARES Act into law, President Trump began advocating a ‘Very Big & Bold” $2 trillion infrastructure plan, and that can only lead any reasonably cogent thinking individual to also conclude President Trump full well intends to sign Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, despite his and Senator Mitch McConnell’s protestations. The Republicans will make a show of tweaking and reshaping this 1800 page monstrosity, loaded with giveaways to special interest groups, while leaving it largely intact, and they will cave to the Democrats, once again, as sure as the sun sets in the west.

Far too many Americans are allowing individual liberty to be damaged and suffer harm, as they look at each issue through the prism of Trump’s personality, hating or loving him depending on their party affiliation. It’s a shame that they can’t see, that by and large, regardless of who presents the case, Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other, the legislation all seems to be prepared in the offices of Wall Street.

Well before the 2008 economic collapse, the U.S. economy was teetering in a precarious position, and our economy never fully or properly recovered from those days to the present, exacerbated by many economic bubbles and zero interest rates, and when interest rates were raised, liquidity was virtually nonexistent and repo markets became unstable. Still, the Federal Reserve ignored the declining economic conditions and the historic levels of national, corporate and consumer debt, as they continuously promulgated the fiction that the U.S. economy was “strong” and “in recovery” from December 2018 to the present, knowing they were lying and that the economy was on the brink of a breakdown.

And in the meantime, the federal government and the state governments both delivered terrible blows to individual liberty from the onset of this virus event, that was used by the Federal Reserve Bank, certain complicit Congressmen, corporate CEOs, lobbyists and Wall Street to provide cover for the economic crash they created. The fact that the central banks set this collapse in motion has largely been ignored by the mainstream media and the statists, globalists and communists of America who are anxiously and gleefully blaming the pandemic for everything that followed, during the shutdown, including the “selfish” American patriots who have stood firm for their individual liberty and defied the lockdowns.

Although President Trump is currently stating that “we’re not closing our country”, if it’s hit with a second wave of COVID-19, from the outset, Trump has stood on the side of those despots, who seem to misunderstand government’s role in society, such as Dr Anthony Fauci of the CDC, as he initially went along with many of the draconian guidelines that soon were enforced as “law”, across the states, only to later come out and champion people in various states defying shutdown “orders”. Even as Trump flip-flopped from saying America can beat the virus without a vaccine to announcing the U.S. military will be administering it, his Enablers cheer, as they largely demand the country open again.

On May 21st, Trump exuded confidence as he noted the following, regarding any resurgence of COVID:

“We’re going to put out the fires. We’re not going to close the country. … Whether it is an ember or a flame, we’re going to put it out. But we are not closing our country.”

It’s too bad that Trump didn’t advocate this same position from the start of the COVID-19 event that led to catastrophe for America, when even then a great number of Americans, real experts, were loudly exclaiming that never before in history had America ever completely shut down its economy as a measure to combat a virus.

Gates and his criminal cronies have engaged in intense agitation and propaganda of late, as they advocate a continuance of this disastrous shutdown until everyone has been vaccinated, and in mind-boggling fashion, Americans now see many Democrat Governors trying to keep the shutdown going within their states, regardless of the wishes and pleas of the people. And so too have we witnessed the despotic attitudes in the wild-eyed communist Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose arrogant statements go beyond the pale and sound as if a foreigner spoke them, the transsexual Secretary of Health in Pennsylvania and the Health Director of Los Angeles.

It appears that the current plan across the board, from the federal level on down to the local, regardless of what is opened, is to continue to mandate the anti-Freedom of Assembly “social distancing” and masks, as a bit of false protection against the minimal threat of COVID, in order to continue to force everyone to comply with illegitimate, unconstitutional government “orders” and stop any dissent. Also, the flawed tests will continue, and contact tracing of individuals will start, as tracking technology is implemented nationwide. And all of this culminates with the ultimate goal of forced mass vaccinations, despite Trump’s assurances to the contrary.

Lost jobs and thousands of destroyed small businesses are just collateral damage for those who would be kings, and it has all been achieved through phony science and its proponents who have corrupted their own data, doctoring the death count by calling any death a COVID death, if the deceased exhibited any of its associated symptoms. Hospitals too have helped perpetrate the fraud on the American people, for financial gain, since they receive $13,000 from Medicare for each COVID patient and $39,000 for each one placed on a ventilator.

Some obvious questions need answering: Why are thousands of businesses being forced to remain shutdown, with their owners threatened with fines and jail, while corporate giants like Walmart and Home Depot have been allowed to remain open the entire time? Why are abortions deemed “essential” but orthopedic surgery is not? Why are liquor sales “essential” but religious liberty is not?

Ironically, only moments after I started this piece, on Friday May 22nd, President Trump announced a long overdue order for Governors to allow houses of worship to reopen immediately as “essential”. He stated: “The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now — for this weekend. If they don’t, I will override the governors.”

This is something that should have gone without saying and should have been a given, from day one, just as it was with Walmart. Why was Trump so slow to arrive to this decision?

This tyranny that was rushed upon the people has nothing to do with medicine, our health, or actual science, and everything to do with forcing the ultimate inversion whereby the government is attempting to overreach and take unauthorized powers, as if it can now do anything it pleases and the American people must beg its permission to leave their homes, hold a job, assemble with their fellow Countrymen, worship in their churches, visit parks or beaches or patronize certain businesses. The American people are witnessing all pretense cast aside as an astounding number of elected officials across the land rush to enforce complete illegitimate totalitarianism.

The despots of the American states and within the bureaucracy of the federal government issued their diktats, and all those who advocated for their individual rights or actually exercised them by defying the decrees were denounced, shamed, censored and arrested in so many instances, that one finds it hard to believe we are still living in America. Anyone who disagreed or was seen as unwilling to sacrifice for the common good was denounced as “selfish”.

However, just to set things straight, it isn’t selfish to fight for one’s rights and to want to work and be productive. It isn’t selfish to be more concerned with one’s own welfare and the welfare of one’s family and friends than the welfare of strangers, the public or the government that supposedly represents us all. One’s desire to live free and with one’s right to liberty completely honored is not selfish.

America is in the midst of the largest psychological operation in the history of mankind, and one cannot help but observe how fast so many have completely submitted to this overreach and abuse of power during this national lockdown. Even though a large number of Americans say they don’t trust politicians or the media, one could not tell from their initial obedience, and now, having witnessed tens of millions bow to their power, these politicians are emboldened, and no matter what transpires in the near future, the long-term cost to freedom and liberty has been tragic in comparison to any loss of life to the virus.

All of this brings to mind a great quote by Joe Sobran, a constitutional scholar and journalist for the National Review: “By today’s standards King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial. he had arbitrary power over them in law and in principle but in fact it was seldom exercised. If you compare his rule with that of today’s U.S. Government you have to wonder why we celebrate our independence.”

Americans must awaken to the fact that all risk in life cannot possibly be eliminated, and it is delusional to try to accomplish such a feat; edicts in pursuit of such are tyrannical and to comply with them suicidal. And any betrayal of one’s own conscience and the surrender of individual rights to the collective for safety’s sake, always ends in misery, destruction, despair, terror and death, a lesson all will learn as our society moves through the darkest time in American history.

Americans will remain free, so long as they do not succumb to an immobilizing fear. It will require fighting for our rights, our freedom and our lives by way of word and deed, our passion and diligence to the cause of the same, in order to assure all these rights to ourselves and our families and countrymen. Our rights and the pursuit of life and liberty can only be assured and ensured through our refusal to conform, our disobedience and our refusal to comply with any tyrannical order that tramples on our God-Given Rights, while we also see such tyranny destroyed and replaced with true freedom and liberty protected and defended by a government truly of, by and for the people.

NO: We’re Not All In This Together

Even If It Means Hell On Earth

Even though many Americans recognize most of the “orders” handed down from on high, by federal and state governments, from the very start of this COVID event were illegal and illegitimate, they still ask those of us who oppose the government diktats, “Why can’t you do as I did and come along with us for fellowship?”

They love their catch phrases such as “We’re all in this together” and “Alone together”.

And say we die, and they are sent to Heaven for doing as their conscience implored and demanded, and I and my Fellow American Patriots are sent to Hell for turning away from that which our own conscience implored and demanded. Will they come along with me and my Countrymen for the same convenient fellowship they now demand?

So many Americans have lost their way and are willing to go to Hell — and consign the rest of their Countrymen to that same Hell — for the sake of not rocking the boat, adopting the age old “go along to get along” mentality.

For fellowship.

They want to keep peace with their wives, not lose their jobs — are desperate to open their businesses, even at half capacity and under tortured restrictions that all but assure they will go out of business, if they haven’t already.

They want to be able to actually attend church in person, in a most engaged manner, to eat inside a restaurant, and get a haircut. And to those ends, many are far too willing to give up more liberty than they know and to … come along. To sigh and don the Mask of Fear and walk between the painted lines, like herded cattle, as if they had just been arrested for something. They are far too willing to accept the “new normal”, that expects us to behave and accept less than the same treatment any free person should rightfully see daily, as if they and each human on the planet is a COVID-dripping Typhoid Mary … all for the sake of fellowship and being “Alone Together”.

They suggest in an insane manner that all of this is reasonable, even necessary; or, at the very least, that it’s something we just have to go along with.

For fellowship.

Even if it means Hell on Earth.
