A Republic…if we can keep it.

It’s time to admit that as great a concept as it may have been, the Constitution failed us. Or, We the People (WTP) failed to hold our elected officials to follow the Constitution, causing us to be where we are now – about to explode like the glutton “Mr. Cresote” in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Just one more trillion dollars for Ukraine’s borders…

What government did America have when we fought and Won the Revolutionary War? The Articles of the Confederation (AOC). And the main reasons that it proved difficult to maintain no longer exist: no common currency and no immediate way to connect with all the states so any ratification was a slow process.

Guess who was the biggest critic of the AOC? Alexander “A Bill of Rights is Not Necessary” Hamilton.

With 50 sovereign states not tied to a federal government and united for only a few important national issues (like borders/non-interventionist foreign policy), maybe we could even avoid a civil war!

With threats of another forever war, at what point do We the People say Enough?

So your bank looks around the social media and found that you made a comment against mainstream narratives? Your bank then fires you and tell other banks not to accept you as a customer? WTF? THAT IS TERRORISM!
