"“. . . the selection of state rulers by means of popular elections makes it essentially impossible for harmless or decent persons to ever rise to the top."
Yes, the problem is that when you elect politicians, politicians are the ones who get elected.
What we need is a system similar that was described of Israel of old. Sort of a drafting of sort. The people in a locality that know you, decide they want you in a position to represent them because of your knowledge and ability to articulate your thoughts to others. If you can agree then you take the position of a Judge. There would be no politics. Everything has to be predicated on the non aggression principle. It's easy enough to understand that you wouldn't need 8 years of college.
"What we need is a system similar that was described of Israel of old."
Yes, like in the book of Samuel. Great idea. Positions of public officials are created by a need for such an official. And the positions are filled with people who are selected by the people who need them. All done from the ground up, not the top down.
I think Alexander Tytler’s cycle of democracy, where dependency is the last stage of a democracy is very accurate. It makes sense because once people are dependent on the government, they are well…dependent on the government for everything. It falls in line with what Alexis de Toqueville said, “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” The cycle is in my first post- https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/coming-soon?r=76q58
So, my thought is let’s skip over dependency (end welfare) and skip bondage and get right back into spirituality which gives us the courage for liberty!
Damn Substack, hit the wrong key and POOF there goes 10 minutes of writing. Oh well...such is life. Liz, we are a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. We aren't just one of these words. The four words describes what we are SUPPOSED to be. Why is this so hard for so many to understand? We have "representatives" that are voted in with the democratic process. 51% vote for Joe Dumbass and 49% vote for the smart guy. The dumb ass gets in to "represent" all 100%. He in turn joins with 51% of the other dumb ass senators to vote for sending money to the Man on the Moon instead of going along with 49% that want to use it to fix roads. The dumb ass group wins. We have a Constitution they are supposed to be following. We have "three" branches of government thus a "republic" and yet all FOUR words describe succinctly as I said what we are SUPPOSED to be. What we are is a CORPOROCRACY if there is such a word, run by CORPORATIONS, such as the military industrial complex and BuRATcracy of unelected dumb asses that make rules we have to follow or end up in prison for not doing so if not shot like Bryan Malinowski was recently because he didn't pay $200 for a license to sell firearms. VERDICT. DEATH PENALTY. Judge Dredd in real life.
My take is that we were set up as a Constitutional Republic that allowed limited democratic representation (that was supposed to be the House of Representatives and not the Senate – who were appointed by the state legislatures that were voted by the people, thus being limited democracy (until 17th Amendment), to follow the Constitution, including the electoral college which protected us from direct democracy of 51% to 49% since the big states (and big cities) would dominate if we didn’t have that.
But, agreed, we are not anything close to that anymore (human nature is corrupt, so guess it was bound to happen) and are something like a corporatocracy/oligarchy steamrolling into a fascist state -lawfare is rolling us over!
Years ago, long before covid, I stumbled on the Deagle website showing the US and Western Europe losing like 75% of its population in 2025. It was all very strange, but, it sure does make me wonder if another “plandemic” is coming our way, but the real mcoy this time, along with mayhem after the 2024 election. IDK…but can’t live in fear, that’s for sure.
... well said - and it needed to be said. To legitimately have a reason to "complain" about the current state of the State is always met with some offense by those in the majority. "Why don't you join a political action committee Sonny Boy - we live in a Democracy."... the statist in power's typical rebuttal. For longer than I've been alive Parents (good parents) who are shocked by street violence comitted by "kids these days!" generation after generation nothing but disgust for the younger generation - their poor decisions/behaviors, but the real problem is never addressed - the poor parenting that produced the child and the poor behavior in the first place. It's a strange thing to see someone chastise a parent for their child's poor/destructive behavior... how often does a "good" parent intervene with another parent when they are not practicing proper parenting??? That discussion is always off-limit. We see the obvious results within society of poor parenting - as we do with democratic systems of government, yet we don't have or know the answers of why we are sufferning and why youths rage . Instead we chug-along in life and see the results without any intervention - and society suffers no guilt/shame for any of it.
A combination of poor parenting along with the bad influence the government school has on the child which of course comes back around to poor parenting. They could have decided to make an effort to shelter their child from the INSANITY being "taught" in government schools.
... not when children are the main commodity that statists (authoritarians) pleasure themselves with... no higher claim over life and property than they'd have us believe of course - the kind of fiction only the general public would allow. Yep, sometimes the dream is so compelling that none dare wake-up from it... so as that they benefit most from the pleasures and gains of the inversion/mental illness. The sleeping mob swaying to the lullaby... protecting its self-interests.
There is no component of government that exists in a vacuum and all of government is a corruption of the Liberty of Man.
Democracy is the Great Lie of modern governments across the globe, but especially in the west. What a joke it is at any time and under any circumstance to surrender your inherant Rights to a foreign entity, but to surrender your Rights to a group of hundreds (government) or millions (random population voting) is beyond stupid.
It is more reasonable to surrender to a king than to a democratic government and society, where psychopaths and mobs rule.
This is a very well put article. Cross posted on Liberty Uncensored. Continue the good work. Blessings!
I agree but with the distinction that our wise founding fathers set up a Constitutional Republic, not a democratic republic, and there is a difference. It’s all tied to the unique US Constitution – if followed, and of course, we have decimated that idea. The intent was to have a LIMITED Federal government (10th Amendment) – because humankind is self-serving and corrupt, always. The idea was to keep the government close to the people.
Then, in 1913, the 16th Amendment ended that idea so the federal government would grow to the point where it is now with all that taxpayer money, and then with the 17th Amendment we now have (ignorant and dumb) people voting for the Senate (which was supposed to be comprised of smart, experienced and educated people, and not stupid people like Kamala Harris.) Add in the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 and 1913 should be considered a most disastrous year for freedom-loving Americans and the Constitution.
We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/
Liz, No matter how you look at it, the word DEMOCRACY comes into play. The fact that 51% of the voters can vote in an idiot like Harris proves that is the case. You can call it what you like, but reality shows it to be maybe a Democratic Constitutional Republic. Don't you think? I have a problem with feeling I should be forced to pay for the government indoctrination centers. So I was willing to take my time to go and vote AGAINST a rent increase on my home to support an unnecessary use of tax money. But since so many have children to send off to the baby sitting system so they can work to send them off to the baby sitting system that is ruining their minds so that they come home as dumb as their parents, 51% ( actually it was more) voted the 49% down and I had an increase in my yearly rent to the county. IE PROPERTY TAXES.
The 17th amendment was an attack on states rights which previously appointed senators. By having the average idiot vote for the seat, we get to have 51% vote for Harris vs 49% against. Again the tyranny of the majority AKA DEMOCRACTIC voting.
As for your miss understanding of the "taxpayer money" consider taking the time to read this:
"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."
~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8
ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?
Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.
I agree and we are on the same team, so splitting hares is probably not a great way to go. I think people lose sight that the Constitution could be our saving grace, if only we would follow it, since it was intended to restrain the government, not the people, because as you know, democracy Always leads to tyranny because human nature is corrupt and self-serving and who runs the government? Corrupt, self-serving people.
I read a great book on the creation of the Federal Reserve – G. Edward Griffin’s Creature From Jekyll Island, so I’m well aware of the creation of the money supply as not taxpayer money. It’s a scary road leading to the WEF.
Nevertheless, We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance!
G. Edward Griffin’s Creature From Jekyll Island is on my living room coffee table.
I'm not trying to split hares...errrr...hairs because we ARE a DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTONAL REPUBLIC. It simply needs to be understood in the correct way that the definition is used. ANY system that has a voting mechanism tied into it where 51% can force their will on the other 49% is a "democratic" system. The worse part is that ours is a so called representative system and THEY vote on what they want to shove down our throats without any way for us to object outside of voting then out two, four or six years later. So in the meanwhile they shove UNCONSTITUITONAL garbage down our throats with a vote of 51% to 49%.
Sorry, I was referring to myself as splitting hairs (hares- mea culpa - haha). Yes, this crap has been going on before we were born, and I’m thinking both you and I care very much about our country, and I’m making the assumption that you, like me, produce and don’t take from the “shytstem” (not being dependent) so maybe not us particularly, but I’m saying collectively, We the People, did, have and are squandering our American Inheritance and if we could reduce the federal government “bigly” then maybe…maybe…we could have a chance for the next generations. I am sick thinking about the country we are leaving to our children, although my son cherishes the Constitution as much as I do.
No need to be sorry. We all make speeling errors. We The People are actually dealing with the apathy and laziness of previous generations. The people should have raised holy hell when the Federal Reserve act was passed. They should have raised holy hell when they shoved a tax on our wages down our throats. They should have raised holy hell when the Miltias were disbanded and a standing army that the founding fathers abhorred was started to replace it.
And yes, some times at the age of 70 which I will be in June, I get a bit emotional when I think of my only two grandsons growing up in this CURRENTLY demented country ran by total lunatics. When I think of my one son who won't have any children due to the current state of affairs and how he allowed himself to be manipulated by his cougar live in sex doll to the point he hasn't talked to me in over two years. When I think of my other two sons who are having to struggle to make it one in an apartment and the other at least has the capabilities to own a house. And he may be getting married soon. I hope.
Yeah, I get what you are saying but OUR generation is the least culpable.
Sure, the lost generation dropped the ball, but I think all generations are responsible for the decline. Allen Bloom discussed the “soft” generation of college students in the ‘80s (I fall under) in The Closing of the American Mind, indoctrinated by the feminists, etc. and I think he was right. I’m sorry I was insecure enough to fall for it.
"Believing in the idea of the American dream is what fuels so many people from
around the world to leave their home for America today, right this very minute" WRONG...the ILLEGALS are coming here because of the big fat tit that Auntie Samantha has laid out for them. FREE everything. Food, shelter, school, medical.. you name it. THAT'S why this flood is taking place. And the DEMONcrats want to give them all voting rights so that they can keep control of the country. I read your post and let's put it this way...IF the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC is to be saved it will take a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY that is willing to only vote for CONSTITUTIONAL laws and principles. PERIOD. So 51% will have to vote AGAINST the thieves on the other side of the isle. The problem lies is not understanding law.
As for getting back? We are this far away Liz... outside of a VIOLENT revolution or civil war, I'd be very surprised if the crap for brains psychopaths in CONTROL are going to relinquish their reigns peacefully. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
Mis information; dis information and lies!!! April 16, 2024
“Governments are instituted among People, deriving their Just powers from the consent of the governed.” Exactly who are those that are governed? Only United States citizens. Where are they found? Washington District of Columbia, forts, ports and needful buildings and employees and dependents such as those in the military, civil service, elected, appointed and the like. The de facto States are subdivisions of the de facto United States. There is zero law only color of law. Except on Oregon.
Not all of us, as men and women, with our progeny on the land and soil of the several states, commonwealths and territories are US citizens. All of us that are not on the property of the United States of Washington District of Columbia [Inc] or employed by it or not with a proper oath that has not been discharged, we are not United States citizens. Those in that group are U.S. citizens. When they have their bona fides in order. When they make the claim and cannot support the claim, in the case of the elected or appointed, with oath, bond and other qualifications, they are outlaw.
In a lawful state, such as de jure not the current de facto, people can and do choose to expatriate from their sovereign state of being to enter another jurisdiction. As an example stepping down from sovereign to citizen, when elected or appointed, commissioned, warranted, or enlisted. There may be additional options. Consent is required and it must be accompanied by the proper bona fides for the position. It is said, that one of us can verbally consent to being a United States citizen. I deny that verbal option. Such as in a courtroom, when asked “are you a U.S. citizen.” Under the admiralty law form, “he who can be deceived let him,” an affirmative answer can change your jurisdiction from that of a sovereign to citizen. That is fraud as the totality of the situation was not explained and the affirmation could be in ignorance of the reality. I declare ignorance of that law by a sovereign, in this case, is totally excusable until there is a complete and common understanding in written form. Consider this, 12 to 15 % of the adult population is not smart enough to join the military, but they vote, drive and stand trial.
There has not been a lawful state among the several states or the United States since March 1861. Oregon is the single known exception. The same route taken by the people on Oregon is available to the other 32 states and 17 territories. Basically, in the history of our earth, the provenance of a sovereign man or woman begins with the “unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America 1776; followed by the 1777 Confederation and perpetual Union’s Articles followed by The United States of America’s Constitution, it is our last article, and its final lawful iteration is dated 1859 with Oregon as the final lawful state among the several states.”
To become the single exception to martial law of the United States of Washington District of Columbia Inc. [in some form] circa post 1861, a process was taken step by step. This was done by the now, provisional government on Oregon aka Oregon Statewide Jural Assembly. First we Assembled as in Amendment I, then we formed a social compact as in ARTICLE I Section 1 of Oregon’s Constitution. Then we formed a Civilian common law Court of record and implemented ex parte Milligan (SCOTUS) thereby nullifying martial law / Lieber code / FEMA.
We then formed a Jury Pool of men and women, sovereigns, with their bona fides in order. Grand Juries was called and appeared and found presentments and true bills. The Presentments were served to 38 Prosecutors on Oregon and the true bills went to our Article III Amendment VII court. Our court brought forth verdicts without appeal in fact and provided them to the USDOJ, USMS, FBI, USMC, State of Oregon aka STATE OF OREGON’s executive, legislative and judiciary, 36 Sheriff and 38 prosecutors on Oregon. They all acquiesced an defaulted. What took www.orsja.org 4.5 years to do can be accomplished on paper, by the other 32 states and 17 territories in 30 days. Signed, sealed, stamped, witnessed with proof of service. You will find all of this and instructions at no fee www.orsja.org.
OK as I've asked you over and over. (I'm extending this one though) Do you pay property tax on your home? Do you pay personal property tax? Do you unless retired pay "income" tax, state or federal? Do you "drive" or "Travel" without insurance and a license plate and drivers license? Do you follow all of the rules of driving? Do you drive over the speed limit without fearing a large fine or getting caged? Do you posses a machine gun, short barrel shotgun, short barrel rifle without asking permission and paying a tax on any of them? Do you have a pistol that you carry all the time without a permit? Anywhere you wish? WELL???? Please answer. We are all interested in finding out if all you claim to have done is given a shit even a tiny bit by the psychos in control.

With full faith and credit governing law is established in this document at this time to be: Declaration of Independence; Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union; Oregon’s Original Constitutions circa 1859, and The United States of America’s Constitution circa 1859. And ORCP 20A; Clearfield Doctrine; Accardi Doctrine; ex parte Young; ex parte Milligan; McCarran Walters Act 1952; Judiciary Act 1789-Sec 32; Judgment Nihil Dicit are all specifically called into this document. They are all governing law, which must be accepted. The current 13th and 14th amendments are bogus and must be rejected. Take Heed of the Blackstone Commentaries. The DOJ is agent to the entity responsible for the enumerated requirements of Article III, the one supreme Court that must claim original jurisdiction to be a court I would consider to have jurisdiction when found in conjunction with Amendment VII Court… The DOJ has failed miserably in their responsibility. ..We must do it ourselves.

On Oregon, without the State of Oregon aka STATE OF OREGON, within The United States of America the Constitutional Republican form of government.//s//
"Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and [destroys] itself. . ."
I think Adams was arguing against democracy disingenuously, because he and Hamilton wanted a more centralized and less representative form of government than the anti-Federalists did, and Adams got what he wanted.
On the other hand, Athens was a democracy for longer (180 years) than the U.S. was a republic with a representative form of government, which ended in the FDR regime when the Administrative Practices Act created the unelected, unaccountable deep state, if not sooner. Maybe the Civil War ended the US republic.
Maybe this will help. We are SUPPOSED to be according to the way the Founding Fathers set it up a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Do I have to spell out each section? We ARE currently a country run by CORPORATIONS and 439 Federal Agencies based on a convoluted interpretation of the commerce clause.
Did you read the post? We haven't ever been anything but a Representative DEMOCRATIC Constitutional Republic. Whenever there is voting going on where 51% can vote the rights away of the other 49% , you have democracy involved. The USA has been that way since day one. We are a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. it isn't just one word. It's all four. To restore it we need to get back the two provisions that kept it that way for a long time. ONE do away with anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debt as DEMANDED by the Constitution. TWO, get back our State militias.
Referred to in modern times as an individual’s right to carry and use arms for self-defense, the Second Amendment was envisioned by the framers of the Constitution, according to College of William and Mary law professor and future U.S. District Court judge St. George Tucker in 1803 in his great work Blackstone’s Commentaries:
With Notes of Reference to the Constitution and Laws of the Federal Government of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the “true palladium of liberty.” In addition to checking federal power, the Second Amendment also provided state governments with what Luther Martin (1744/48–1826) described as the “last coup de grace” that would enable the states “to thwart and oppose the general government.” Last, it enshrined the ancient Florentine and Roman constitutional principle of civil and military virtue by making every citizen a soldier and every soldier a citizen.
According to your skewed understanding, a republic must fail too. Or maybe you can explain to me at what point our nation turned from a republic to a democracy? The amount of ignorance of the subject floating around this subject is mind numbing. IF THERE IS A VOTING PROCESS where 51% of the REPRESENTATIVES or 51% of the PEOPLE can vote against the other 49% it is a DEMOCRACY. And if you think that a "Democratic Republic is an oxymoron, you don't know what the two words mean. Go look up the original GREEK etymology. Geezzzzz...
It's ALWAYS been a Democratic Republic. I watched it and she is right about the CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD that's been perpetuated by turning everything into a corporation but the remedy is WHAT? Give me a break. Claim this, fill this out, refuse that... What a crock of bullshit. At this time we need the state militias back to have a remedy.
Become a state national...yeah, OK. CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD is FRAUD.
We have passed the point of no return.
Let me ask this...if Democracy is "mob rule" isn't 51% VOTING to piss on the 49% a MOB RULE? If the "representatives" in Congress or the Senate vote and 51% of the MOB decides against the other 49% isn't it MOB RULE? You believe what you want, I'm done with this debate.
We went from being a Representative Democratic Constitutional Republic to a Corporate and BeuRATcracy. The Corporations run the country with the help of the unelected control freaks in those 429 federal agencies.
"“. . . the selection of state rulers by means of popular elections makes it essentially impossible for harmless or decent persons to ever rise to the top."
Yes, the problem is that when you elect politicians, politicians are the ones who get elected.
What we need is a system similar that was described of Israel of old. Sort of a drafting of sort.

Yes, like in the book of Samuel. Great idea. Positions of public officials are created by a need for such an official. And the positions are filled with people who are selected by the people who need them. All done from the ground up, not the top down.
I think Alexander Tytler’s cycle of democracy, where dependency is the last stage of a democracy is very accurate. It makes sense because once people are dependent on the government, they are well…dependent on the government for everything.

Damn Substack, hit the wrong key and POOF there goes 10 minutes of writing. Oh well...such is life. Liz, we are a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. We aren't just one of these words.

I agree but with the distinction that our wise founding fathers set up a Constitutional Republic, not a democratic republic, and there is a difference. It’s all tied to the unique US Constitution – if followed, and of course, we have decimated that idea. The intent was to have a LIMITED Federal government (10th Amendment) – because humankind is self-serving and corrupt, always. The idea was to keep the government close to the people.
Then, in 1913, the 16th Amendment ended that idea so the federal government would grow to the point where it is now with all that taxpayer money, and then with the 17th Amendment we now have (ignorant and dumb) people voting for the Senate (which was supposed to be comprised of smart, experienced and educated people, and not stupid people like Kamala Harris.) Add in the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 and 1913 should be considered a most disastrous year for freedom-loving Americans and the Constitution.
We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/
Liz, No matter how you look at it, the word DEMOCRACY comes into play. The fact that 51% of the voters can vote in an idiot like Harris proves that is the case. You can call it what you like, but reality shows it to be maybe a Democratic Constitutional Republic. Don't you think? I have a problem with feeling I should be forced to pay for the government indoctrination centers. So I was willing to take my time to go and vote AGAINST a rent increase on my home to support an unnecessary use of tax money. But since so many have children to send off to the baby sitting system so they can work to send them off to the baby sitting system that is ruining their minds so that they come home as dumb as their parents, 51% ( actually it was more) voted the 49% down and I had an increase in my yearly rent to the county. IE PROPERTY TAXES.
The 17th amendment was an attack on states rights which previously appointed senators. By having the average idiot vote for the seat, we get to have 51% vote for Harris vs 49% against. Again the tyranny of the majority AKA DEMOCRACTIC voting.
As for your miss understanding of the "taxpayer money" consider taking the time to read this:
https://www.courageouslion.us/p/a-dirty-little-secret-about-federal On the FEDERAL level taxes are there to make you "think" they need them. THEY DON'T.
"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."
~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8
ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?
Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.
I agree and we are on the same team, so splitting hares is probably not a great way to go. I think people lose sight that the Constitution could be our saving grace, if only we would follow it, since it was intended to restrain the government, not the people, because as you know, democracy Always leads to tyranny because human nature is corrupt and self-serving and who runs the government? Corrupt, self-serving people.
I read a great book on the creation of the Federal Reserve – G. Edward Griffin’s Creature From Jekyll Island, so I’m well aware of the creation of the money supply as not taxpayer money. It’s a scary road leading to the WEF.
Nevertheless, We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance!
G. Edward Griffin’s Creature From Jekyll Island is on my living room coffee table.
I'm not trying to split hares...errrr...hairs because we ARE a DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTONAL REPUBLIC. It simply needs to be understood in the correct way that the definition is used. ANY system that has a voting mechanism tied into it where 51% can force their will on the other 49% is a "democratic" system. The worse part is that ours is a so called representative system and THEY vote on what they want to shove down our throats without any way for us to object outside of voting then out two, four or six years later. So in the meanwhile they shove UNCONSTITUITONAL garbage down our throats with a vote of 51% to 49%.
It really isn't that difficult to understand.
The SYSTEM was stolen from us way before we were born. We didn't squander it. Our forefathers did. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/there-is-a-reason-they-dont-listen
Sorry, I was referring to myself as splitting hairs (hares- mea culpa - haha). Yes, this crap has been going on before we were born, and I’m thinking both you and I care very much about our country, and I’m making the assumption that you, like me, produce and don’t take from the “shytstem” (not being dependent) so maybe not us particularly, but I’m saying collectively, We the People, did, have and are squandering our American Inheritance and if we could reduce the federal government “bigly” then maybe…maybe…we could have a chance for the next generations. I am sick thinking about the country we are leaving to our children, although my son cherishes the Constitution as much as I do.
No need to be sorry. We all make speeling errors. We The People are actually dealing with the apathy and laziness of previous generations. The people should have raised holy hell when the Federal Reserve act was passed. They should have raised holy hell when they shoved a tax on our wages down our throats. They should have raised holy hell when the Miltias were disbanded and a standing army that the founding fathers abhorred was started to replace it.
And yes, some times at the age of 70 which I will be in June, I get a bit emotional when I think of my only two grandsons growing up in this CURRENTLY demented country ran by total lunatics. When I think of my one son who won't have any children due to the current state of affairs and how he allowed himself to be manipulated by his cougar live in sex doll to the point he hasn't talked to me in over two years. When I think of my other two sons who are having to struggle to make it one in an apartment and the other at least has the capabilities to own a house. And he may be getting married soon. I hope.
Yeah, I get what you are saying but OUR generation is the least culpable.
Sure, the lost generation dropped the ball, but I think all generations are responsible for the decline. Allen Bloom discussed the “soft” generation of college students in the ‘80s (I fall under) in The Closing of the American Mind, indoctrinated by the feminists, etc. and I think he was right. I’m sorry I was insecure enough to fall for it.
"Believing in the idea of the American dream is what fuels so many people from
around the world to leave their home for America today, right this very minute" WRONG...the ILLEGALS are coming here because of the big fat tit that Auntie Samantha has laid out for them. FREE everything. Food, shelter, school, medical.. you name it. THAT'S why this flood is taking place. And the DEMONcrats want to give them all voting rights so that they can keep control of the country. I read your post and let's put it this way...IF the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC is to be saved it will take a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY that is willing to only vote for CONSTITUTIONAL laws and principles. PERIOD. So 51% will have to vote AGAINST the thieves on the other side of the isle. The problem lies is not understanding law.

As for getting back? We are this far away Liz... outside of a VIOLENT revolution or civil war, I'd be very surprised if the crap for brains psychopaths in CONTROL are going to relinquish their reigns peacefully. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style

Mis information; dis information and lies!!! April 16, 2024
“Governments are instituted among People, deriving their Just powers from the consent of the governed.” Exactly who are those that are governed? Only United States citizens. Where are they found? Washington District of Columbia, forts, ports and needful buildings and employees and dependents such as those in the military, civil service, elected, appointed and the like. The de facto States are subdivisions of the de facto United States. There is zero law only color of law. Except on Oregon.
Not all of us, as men and women, with our progeny on the land and soil of the several states, commonwealths and territories are US citizens. All of us that are not on the property of the United States of Washington District of Columbia [Inc] or employed by it or not with a proper oath that has not been discharged, we are not United States citizens. Those in that group are U.S. citizens. When they have their bona fides in order. When they make the claim and cannot support the claim, in the case of the elected or appointed, with oath, bond and other qualifications, they are outlaw.
In a lawful state, such as de jure not the current de facto, people can and do choose to expatriate from their sovereign state of being to enter another jurisdiction. As an example stepping down from sovereign to citizen, when elected or appointed, commissioned, warranted, or enlisted. There may be additional options. Consent is required and it must be accompanied by the proper bona fides for the position. It is said, that one of us can verbally consent to being a United States citizen. I deny that verbal option. Such as in a courtroom, when asked “are you a U.S. citizen.” Under the admiralty law form, “he who can be deceived let him,” an affirmative answer can change your jurisdiction from that of a sovereign to citizen. That is fraud as the totality of the situation was not explained and the affirmation could be in ignorance of the reality. I declare ignorance of that law by a sovereign, in this case, is totally excusable until there is a complete and common understanding in written form. Consider this, 12 to 15 % of the adult population is not smart enough to join the military, but they vote, drive and stand trial.
There has not been a lawful state among the several states or the United States since March 1861. Oregon is the single known exception. The same route taken by the people on Oregon is available to the other 32 states and 17 territories. Basically, in the history of our earth, the provenance of a sovereign man or woman begins with the “unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America 1776; followed by the 1777 Confederation and perpetual Union’s Articles followed by The United States of America’s Constitution, it is our last article, and its final lawful iteration is dated 1859 with Oregon as the final lawful state among the several states.”
To become the single exception to martial law of the United States of Washington District of Columbia Inc. [in some form] circa post 1861, a process was taken step by step. This was done by the now, provisional government on Oregon aka Oregon Statewide Jural Assembly. First we Assembled as in Amendment I, then we formed a social compact as in ARTICLE I Section 1 of Oregon’s Constitution. Then we formed a Civilian common law Court of record and implemented ex parte Milligan (SCOTUS) thereby nullifying martial law / Lieber code / FEMA.
We then formed a Jury Pool of men and women, sovereigns, with their bona fides in order. Grand Juries was called and appeared and found presentments and true bills. The Presentments were served to 38 Prosecutors on Oregon and the true bills went to our Article III Amendment VII court. Our court brought forth verdicts without appeal in fact and provided them to the USDOJ, USMS, FBI, USMC, State of Oregon aka STATE OF OREGON’s executive, legislative and judiciary, 36 Sheriff and 38 prosecutors on Oregon. They all acquiesced an defaulted. What took www.orsja.org 4.5 years to do can be accomplished on paper, by the other 32 states and 17 territories in 30 days. Signed, sealed, stamped, witnessed with proof of service. You will find all of this and instructions at no fee www.orsja.org.
OK as I've asked you over and over. (I'm extending this one though) Do you pay property tax on your home? Do you pay personal property tax? Do you unless retired pay "income" tax, state or federal? Do you "drive" or "Travel" without insurance and a license plate and drivers license? Do you follow all of the rules of driving? Do you drive over the speed limit without fearing a large fine or getting caged? Do you posses a machine gun, short barrel shotgun, short barrel rifle without asking permission and paying a tax on any of them? Do you have a pistol that you carry all the time without a permit? Anywhere you wish? WELL???? Please answer. We are all interested in finding out if all you claim to have done is given a shit even a tiny bit by the psychos in control.

With full faith and credit governing law is established in this document at this time to be: Declaration of Independence; Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union; Oregon’s Original Constitutions circa 1859, and The United States of America’s Constitution circa 1859. And ORCP 20A; Clearfield Doctrine; Accardi Doctrine; ex parte Young; ex parte Milligan; McCarran Walters Act 1952; Judiciary Act 1789-Sec 32; Judgment Nihil Dicit are all specifically called into this document. They are all governing law, which must be accepted. The current 13th and 14th amendments are bogus and must be rejected. Take Heed of the Blackstone Commentaries. The DOJ is agent to the entity responsible for the enumerated requirements of Article III, the one supreme Court that must claim original jurisdiction to be a court I would consider to have jurisdiction when found in conjunction with Amendment VII Court… The DOJ has failed miserably in their responsibility. ..We must do it ourselves. We define the words we use. We decide our method of communication.
This communiqué is not intended to mislead, defraud, deceive or threaten in any way and is submitted in “good faith and with clean hands.” I do lawful not legal and this is my best effort.
I close with Love, peace, harmony and a prayer. A US Marshal has determined my prayer is not a threat. He then reneged on his word, which is only good one time. "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."
On Oregon, without the State of Oregon aka STATE OF OREGON, within The United States of America the Constitutional Republican form of government.//s//
"Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and [destroys] itself. . ."
I think Adams was arguing against democracy disingenuously, because he and Hamilton wanted a more centralized and less representative form of government than the anti-Federalists did, and Adams got what he wanted.
On the other hand, Athens was a democracy for longer (180 years) than the U.S. was a republic with a representative form of government, which ended in the FDR regime when the Administrative Practices Act created the unelected, unaccountable deep state, if not sooner. Maybe the Civil War ended the US republic.
Maybe this will help. We are SUPPOSED to be according to the way the Founding Fathers set it up a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Do I have to spell out each section? We ARE currently a country run by CORPORATIONS and 439 Federal Agencies based on a convoluted interpretation of the commerce clause.
Did you read the post? We haven't ever been anything but a Representative DEMOCRATIC Constitutional Republic. Whenever there is voting going on where 51% can vote the rights away of the other 49% , you have democracy involved. The USA has been that way since day one. We are a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. it isn't just one word. It's all four. To restore it we need to get back the two provisions that kept it that way for a long time. ONE do away with anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debt as DEMANDED by the Constitution. TWO, get back our State militias.
https://www.courageouslion.us/p/those-forgotten-and-ignored-13-words
Referred to in modern times as an individual’s right to carry and use arms for self-defense, the Second Amendment was envisioned by the framers of the Constitution, according to College of William and Mary law professor and future U.S. District Court judge St. George Tucker in 1803 in his great work Blackstone’s Commentaries:
With Notes of Reference to the Constitution and Laws of the Federal Government of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the “true palladium of liberty.” In addition to checking federal power, the Second Amendment also provided state governments with what Luther Martin (1744/48–1826) described as the “last coup de grace” that would enable the states “to thwart and oppose the general government.” Last, it enshrined the ancient Florentine and Roman constitutional principle of civil and military virtue by making every citizen a soldier and every soldier a citizen.
John Adams OBVIOUSLY didn't know what the hell he was talking about because they set up a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.
According to your skewed understanding, a republic must fail too. Or maybe you can explain to me at what point our nation turned from a republic to a democracy? The amount of ignorance of the subject floating around this subject is mind numbing. IF THERE IS A VOTING PROCESS where 51% of the REPRESENTATIVES or 51% of the PEOPLE can vote against the other 49% it is a DEMOCRACY. And if you think that a "Democratic Republic is an oxymoron, you don't know what the two words mean. Go look up the original GREEK etymology. Geezzzzz...
It's ALWAYS been a Democratic Republic. I watched it and she is right about the CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD that's been perpetuated by turning everything into a corporation but the remedy is WHAT? Give me a break. Claim this, fill this out, refuse that... What a crock of bullshit. At this time we need the state militias back to have a remedy.
Become a state national...yeah, OK. CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD is FRAUD.
We have passed the point of no return.
Let me ask this...if Democracy is "mob rule" isn't 51% VOTING to piss on the 49% a MOB RULE? If the "representatives" in Congress or the Senate vote and 51% of the MOB decides against the other 49% isn't it MOB RULE? You believe what you want, I'm done with this debate.
We went from being a Representative Democratic Constitutional Republic to a Corporate and BeuRATcracy. The Corporations run the country with the help of the unelected control freaks in those 429 federal agencies.
