* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org * US Launches Retaliatory Strikes In Middle East Following Drone Attack! * Terrible Tragedies Continue In Unjust War - Former Rep. John Duncan, Jr. * "Israel's bombing campaign has been so massive, so extensive, that it has now gone far beyond anything that could possibly be justified under any concept of just war." "The US Senate has been bought and paid for by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is a front organization. AIPAC should logically be registered as a foreign agent, a lobbying agent for foreign government." * 'Black Hawk Down' For Biden in the Red Sea - Daniel McAdams. * Biden Says The US ‘Does Not Seek Conflict In The Middle East' - Caitlin Johnstone. * The US "has already openly admitted that it has no evidence Iran was behind the drone attack." Yet the US is bombing dozens of Iranian and Shia militia targets. "From Gaza to Iraq to Syria to Iran to Yemen, conflict in the middle east is the US empire's bread and butter. "The most murderous power structure on the planet continually paints itself as a poor little victim of any backlash against its abuses and as an innocent passive witness to the suffering it orchestrates, but nobody who's involved in that many acts of violence has ever been interested in peace." * Ending The US Presence In the Middle East - Moon of Alabama. * Heading For the ‘Texit'? - Ron Paul. Texas responded by issuing a statement that "an invasion under Article I Section 10 Clause 3" of the US Constitution is underway, and that therefore Texas has the authority to defend and protect itself. * Ron Paul asked during his 1988 presidential run: "At what point do open borders and mass illegal immigration into the US become an “invasion,” which would grant governors the authority – and obligation – to take action?" * Many people estimate that more than six million illegal immigrants have crossed into the states during the three years of the Biden administration. That is two million each year, or 167,000 each month, or over 38,000 each week which is nearly 5500 a day. Ron Paul drives home the point with these words, "Nullification through the “power of the purse” is an important tool given to Congress in the US Constitution and it could be easily exercised in this case." * The Feds Are Buying Our Emails! - Judge Andrew Napolitano. * "Last week, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., revealed that the National Security Agency has been buying huge caches of Americans' text messages and emails from Big Tech and the FBI has been using this data to predict crime. Both of these undertakings are profoundly unconstitutional." * Napolitano reminds us what Edward Snowden revealed, "that since 2003, the NSA has captured not only the records of Americans held by third parties but also the records of every keystroke touched by every person in America and every telephone call transmitted over fiber-optic cable. That includes every email, text message and piece of data — even what was deleted. * Get Ready for the Planting Season - LewRockwell.com * The editors at Lew Rockwell (dot) com published a list of 15 books that remind us that Spring is right around the corner, and encourage us to get ready for the planting season. If you live in Utah, where Sam and I live, you will want the books written by Caleb Warnock, because the soil in Utah is not conducive to healthy gardens.
Review the origins and debate over the lawmaking provisions of Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution. Understand how bicameralism (the division of the federal legislature between the House of Representatives and the Senate) is essential for liberty and good governance for several reasons. It stops passion or corruption from running wild, which can much more easily happen in a single chamber legislative body. It also encourages a more careful and deliberate evaluation of proposed legislation, because each chamber is accountable for its work to the other chamber. It also ensures that each chamber can check the excesses and poor decision-making of the other chamber. Learn how to become law, the Constitution requires each chamber to pass precisely the same legislation. After the passage of a bill, within 10 days (excepting Sundays), the President can sign it or veto it. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law. If the President does not veto or sign the bill, it becomes law after the conclusion of the 10 day waiting period. However, if the congressional session runs out before the expiration of the 10 day period, and the President does not sign it, the bill dies with a pocket veto. Explore how the veto protects the power of the President, and it also allows the single person elected throughout the nation to address key policy issues from a national perspective. If the President vetoes the legislation, the President needs to explain to the Congress the reasons why it was vetoed. The bill is dead unless the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote in each chamber during the same legislative session. Proposals for an absolute veto and a three-quarters veto threshold were both rejected. The Constitutional Convention found that the two-thirds provision would allow the People's representatives to act if necessary. The same process applies to legislative resolutions, orders, and other matters requiring Congress to vote, except adjournments of Congress — which are exempt from a veto. For lawmaking and resolutions, the vote of each member of Congress and the reasons for a Presidential veto must be recorded in the journal of the respective chamber, which furthers good governance and accountability.

Topics covered: United States Constitution Article I, Section 6 addresses how members of the Congress (members of the House of Representatives and the US Senate) are compensated and paid, and who pays their salary. Learn about the debates over Congressional Pay - including who should pay (the federal or State governments?), how they should be paid (money or wheat?), whether compensation should be uniform across the country, and why some members of the Constitutional Convention, Federalists, and Anti-Federalists thought pay by the federal government was important to the integrity of the Congress, and why others fought against paying them (especially United States Senators) anything at all.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Forecasts on Moore v Harper from Samotsvety, published by gregjustice on March 20, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. [edited to include full text] Disclaimers The probabilities listed are contingent on SCOTUS issuing a ruling on this case. An updated numerical forecast on that happening, particularly in light of the NC Supreme Court's decision to rehear Harper v Hall, may be forthcoming. The author of this report, Greg Justice, is an excellent forecaster, not a lawyer. This post should not be interpreted as legal advice. This writeup is still in progress, and the author is looking for a good venue to publish it in. You can subscribe to these posts here. Introduction The Moore v. Harper case before SCOTUS asks to what degree state courts can interfere with state legislatures in the drawing of congressional district maps. Versions of the legal theory they're being asked to rule on were invoked as part of the attempts to overthrow the 2020 election, leading to widespread media coverage of the case. The ruling here will have implications for myriad state-level efforts to curb partisan gerrymandering. Below, we first discuss the Independent State Legislature theory and Moore v. Harper. We then offer a survey of how the justices have ruled in related cases, what some notable conservative sources have written, and what the justices said in oral arguments. Finally, we offer our own thoughts about some potential outcomes of this case and their consequences for the future. Background What is the independent state legislature theory? Independent State Legislature theory or doctrine (ISL) generally holds that state legislatures have unique power to determine the rules around elections. There are a range of views that fall under the term ISL, ranging from the idea that state courts' freedom to interpret legislation is more limited than it is with other laws, to the idea that state courts and other state bodies lack any authority on issues of federal election law altogether. However, “[t]hese possible corollaries of the doctrine are largely independent of each other, supported by somewhat different lines of reasoning and authority. Although these theories arise from the same constitutional principle, each may be assessed separately from the others; the doctrine need not be accepted or repudiated wholesale.”1 The doctrine is rooted in a narrow reading of Article I Section 4 Clause 1 (the Elections Clause) of the Constitution, which states, “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”2 According to the Brennan Center, this interpretation is at odds with a more traditional reading: The dispute hinges on how to understand the word “legislature.” The long-running understanding is that it refers to each state's general lawmaking processes, including all the normal procedures and limitations. So if a state constitution subjects legislation to being blocked by a governor's veto or citizen referendum, election laws can be blocked via the same means. And state courts must ensure that laws for federal elections, like all laws, comply with their state constitutions. Proponents of the independent state legislature theory reject this traditional reading, insisting that these clauses give state legislatures exclusive and near-absolute power to regulate federal elections. The result? When it comes to federal elections, legislators would be free to violate the state constitution and state courts couldn't stop them. Extreme versions of the theory would block legislatures from delegating their authority to officials like governors, secretaries of state, or election commissioners, who currently play important roles in administering elections.3 The doctrine, which governs the actions of state cou...

Hello friends,Sometimes I feel like screaming at the mainstream media for failing to alert people to crucial (although complicated) issues affecting our democracy coming from different parts of government simultaneously.Case in point: Moore vs. Harper, argued yesterday before the Supreme Court, and the Electoral Reform Act, which must be enacted before the end of this Congress because Republicans won't touch it once they control the House.The two are intimately connected but you wouldn't know that from the mainstream media, which is treating them as two separate stories. Let me make the connection. In Moore, North Carolina Republicans aim to restore a redistricting map drawn by the GOP-led legislature but rejected as violating the state constitution by North Carolina's supreme court.North Carolina bases its argument on the bonkers “independent state legislature” theory, which interprets Article I Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution (authorizing state legislatures to prescribe “the times, places and manner of holding elections") to give state legislatures sole authority over elections, without interference from state courts.The theory sprang from the head of Justice William Rehnquist in 2000, who wrote (in a concurring opinion in Bush v. Gore) that “the text of the election law itself, and not just its interpretation by the courts of the States, takes on independent significance.” Since then, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch have all endorsed aspects of the theory. Notably, they didn't disavow it in yesterday's oral argument.Not only would the theory open the door to extreme gerrymandering, allowing one party to virtually entrench itself in a state. It could also allow state legislatures to reject the results of a presidential election.Which is where the Electoral Reform Act, now before Congress, comes in.Article II of the Constitution requires states to appoint presidential electors “in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” And the Electoral Count Act of 1845 allows state legislatures to choose a new manner of appointing the state's electors if the vote for the presidency has “failed” in the state.But what does “failed” mean and who has the authority to declare a failure?This wasn't an issue until the 2020 election, when Donald Trump exploited the Act's vagueness to claim he could overturn the will of the voters.He pushed state legislatures to appoint electors for him regardless of the popular vote. (Fortunately, they refused.) He pressured congressional Republicans to object to Joe Biden's electors. (Trump partly succeeded, but not by enough to throw the election his way.) And he pushed Vice President Pence to illegally delay the electoral count so Trump could continue pressuring states. (Thankfully, Pence refused.)American democracy survived by a whisker. But add in a Supreme Court ruling affirming the independent state legislature theory, and what do you get if Trump (or any other anti-democracy candidate) tries the same thing again? A democratic disaster.This isn't wild conjecture. Just weeks ago, after Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake contested her loss based on absolutely nothing, the election board in GOP-controlled Cochise County refused to certify the results.Eventually Cochise came around. But in a future presidential election, a GOP-controlled state legislature -- armed with a broad "independent state legislature" theory from Moore v. Harper -- could seize on this kind of resistance to declare a “failed” election and appoint a slate of fake electors. And neither Congress nor a Vice President could stop them. This time, democracy wouldn't survive. Which is why the Electoral Reform Act – now before Congress – is so important. It would require state legislatures to appoint presidential electors exactly as they've been appointed before. So if a state's laws require that electors certify the person who has won the popular vote, a legislature can't use the “failed” election loophole to appoint electors for anyone else. Other provisions require that governors certify the correct electors by a hard deadline before Congress counts them, and allow an aggrieved candidate to trigger expedited judicial review.Where is the Electoral Reform Act at this point?Ten Republican senators tentatively support it but Trumpsters are pressuring them to withdraw their support. With so little time remaining in the lame-duck session, the measure may be attached to the end-of-year spending bill.But how many close calls like this can a system of self-government endure? And if the media doesn't adequately report on issues like this, how can a free people govern themselves to begin with? This is a public episode.

The Congress shall have power “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries” Article I Section 8 Clause 8 United States Constitution. These words are embodied in the United States Code, giving rights to inventors and authors alike for their writings and discoveries. As one can appreciate, a few more stipulations, criteria and interpretations have been associated with this one clause over the past 200+ years, but it stills forms the bedrock of patent and copyright protection.The History of Patents For a moment, let's focus on patents. Patents are not a new concept. The Parliament of England, in 1624, passed the Statute of Monopolies, endowing inventors with the sole right to their inventions for 14 years. And before that, the Senate of Venice passed a patent statute in 1474 providing protection against potential infringers, albeit mostly in the field of glassmaking. It is hard to believe that the framers of the Constitution predicted how valuable intangible rights embraced by patents and copyrights would become. But they clearly recognized that protecting these products gives their producers an incentive to create more and thus stimulates greater activity.The kings of industry have long understood the value of patents. Thomas Edison is affiliated with 1,093 patents. The Ford Motor company has 79,017 patents as of August 2022, making up some 28,000 patent families (related patents). And since 1920, IBM has received more than 150,000 patents. Clearly patents are valued by larger companies for many reasons. But what about a small business concern? Does the protection a patent offers justify the cost? The Power of Patent ProtectionPatents provide what is called a negative right. That means the inventor of a granted patent has right to stop others from making, using, selling or importing that which is described in the claims appending the end of the patent. They do not create any sort of positive right for the owner to make, use, sell or import the same patented technology. Indeed, to practice one's patent may require the inventor to license the patent of another. Let's consider that “right” from the perspective of a small business. The right to “stop” another means the right to sue. An inventor, or the assignee of the invention, can file a suit in federal court asserting infringement of a patent. The average cost of patent litigation through trial is in the area of $2 million according to the American Intellectual Property Law Association. Damages vary, but statistically, 48% of awards are less than the average cost of litigation. Interestingly, 43% of verdicts result in damages for more than double the average cost of litigation. Regardless, the risk is clearly apparent. For a small business, waging a court battle is often a bet-the-company proposition and most companies are not willing to roll those dice. Why Pursuing Patents MattersSo, if you accept that most small companies will not entertain the risk of filing a patent suit, why spend valuable resources to secure patent rights in an innovation? One reason is validation. Patents are a means by which an independent third party examines and confirms that the stated innovation in the patent application has utility (it is useful), is novel (new) and is non-obvious (not common sense). The patent office, despite all its challenges, examines the technical art to ascertain new and useful innovations and awards patents accordingly. That third-party validation translates to value—value that can be realized upon exit or a change of control. Company valuation is not a trivial topic, and it is certainly not centered on patent valuation or even intellectual property (IP) value generally. I

Voting Rights Suppression In this Episode of The GRID, host Chris Kuhlmann examines House Bill #4, known as John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. Chris compares and contrasts ID requirements for various commercial transactions vs those of the contested Texas ID requirements. Who is suppressing who? CREDITS Host: Chris Kuhlmann Written by: Chris Kuhlmann Produced by: Shaun Griffin Music composed by JD Kuhlmann Art: Shaun Griffin Sound: Chris Kuhlmann and Shaun Griffin Sponsor: F&M Painting Co. of Lancaster, PA Be sure to visit https://www.fmpainting.com Visit us at www.kingdompatriot.us and check out our Vision Video Voting Rights Suppression - SHOW NOTES We are going to focus particularly on House Bill #4 which is known as HR4 that is trying to create the federalization of voting rights. On August 17. 2021 speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi stated that, “the house today is taking a momentous step to secure the sacred right to vote for generations to come, with the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021.” One thing that I'm not going to do today is dive into the particulars of this legislation. To be honest with you I haven't dissected it completely quite yet. However I do want to make sure that you understand what the constitution says about voting rights and what this legislation attempts to do in principle. It is a clear move to have more federal influence one elections under the guise that we're protecting the sacred right to vote. And one of the reasons or I should say many of the reasons that this has become an issue is because of laws voting laws in places like Texas where they have placed extreme restrictions on people's ability to vote. Or at least that's what we are being told. But we are going to examine this restrictive nature of voting in places like Texas so that we can understand if the rancor has substance or if it's it just political fodder for a certain narrative. In the constitution, Article I Section 4, the responsibility of elections clearly rests on the state legislatures “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;” This is a very important issue, This is why there was such an uproar in the 2020 election when individual Secretary of States were changing the manner in which votes were cast, counted, absentee ballot processes, etc. Because the constitution is very clear that that cannot be done unilaterally in any given state but has to be done by the state Congress. I'm not sure why this did not gather more traction as we discussed the concerns of the 2020 election, but this is incredibly important. It doesn't really matter if you're a republican or a Democrat, you never want the process of elections being decided by the hands of a few people in the executive branch of government. There is always an inherent bias to enact laws that favor your party. This should be something voted on by the legislature and therefore enacted and executed by the executive branch. That's just the proper structure of our governments. The legislature writes the laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, the judicial branch interprets the laws . Or at least that was the original intent it seems today we have gone far from this. In Nancy Pelosi's comments, she further opined, “A brazen, partisan campaign of voter suppression silences voters of color across the nation and threatens to erode our democracy. Further, the Supreme Court's disastrous decision in Shelby v. Holder opened the floodgates of voter suppression, allowing states with dark histories of bigotry and discrimination to pass hundreds of laws designed to keep communities of color from the ballot box. This year alone, eighteen states have enacted thirty dangerous voter suppression laws, while the Court has continued its assault on the Voting Rights Act with its shameful decision in Brnovich v. DNC.” One key component in this line of thinking is that voter suppression is synonymous with having to prove who you are. For the life of me, I can't understand how that is voter suppression. Now Pelosi is likely to say that requiring a voter ID disproportionally impacts minorities and therefore it's racist, and if it's racist, it violates the Civil Rights Act. However, while I don't have the information right in front of me, I believe there is a principle in which the courts have ruled that just because a law has a disparate impact on minorities does not mean that it de facto violates the Civil Rights Act. In fact I believe there has to be intent shown in the preparation and passage of that law not just that it had an unequal impact on different groups of people. Keeping that in mind, Texas has been front and center as the poster child for voter suppression specifically in the requirement of identification. So I wanted to take a moment and separate fact from fiction, rhetoric versus reality, truth from lie. Other ID Requirements But the first understand just how suppressive the Texas voter ID law is, you must first understand other requirements both inside and outside the state in which identification is mandated. For example, To apply for unemployment benefits in Texas you need Texas Driver's license or Texas Identification Card Alien Registration number (If not a US Citizen) What about a bank account 2 Forms of government issued ID Social security number Utility Bill with current address To write a check in a store Government issued ID To collect welfare checks Various forms of ID Photo ID preferred School ID Health Benefits ID ID from other social services programs Birth certificate Voter Registration card To fly on an airplane Passport State Issued enhanced ID Military ID Texas ID Requirements So those are just a few examples of where identification is mandated to conduct yourself in certain activities. But what about the right to vote in Texas? What is actually required and how oppressive is it? In order to vote in Texas, you must have one of the following: Texas driver's license Texas Election identification certificate Texas Personal identification card Texas handgun license US Military ID US Citizenship certificate with your photograph US Passport If you don't have these ID's you can complete a declaration at the polls if you have Government document showing name & address including voter registration Current utility bill Bank statement Government check Paycheck Certified birth certificate Document certifying your birth admissible in a court of law Exemptions Voters w/ Disability can apply for permanent exemption Religious exemptions to being photographed Natural Disasters Suppressive? So, this let's get this straight, if you fly on an airplane you have three choices, if you're collecting welfare checks you have six choices, if you're opening a bank account you have three choices, but if you're going to vote you have seven choices of ID, and then I whole host of alternate methods of being able to vote including seven different alternatives, as well as three different exemptions altogether. Now I don't know about you, but if the Texas voter ID law is this oppressive and truly violates the Civil Rights Act, then it pretty much seems to me that normal business such as opening a bank account, traveling, collecting unemployment benefits, or collecting welfare all violates the Civil Rights Act for the said above reasons. That's why this conversation is not even reasonable. It's way more rhetoric than reality. So if that's true then what is the real driver behind this legislation? One can only conclude it is driven by the need to consolidate power. And I have a natural aversion anytime I see the federal government consolidating power in any area of life. So did our founding fathers, that's why they so feared a strong federal government. What I hope to do today was to educate you a little bit on this idea of voter suppression because we have two camps, we have the progressive camp that says that we absolutely need to protect the voting rights at all costs and then we have a conservative camp that says we must protect the integrity of our elections at all costs. They both are right in the principle, but in this legislation it is seeking to solve a problem that doesn't exist. There is no indication that voter suppression is occurring and when you enact a voter law that has less restrictive requirements than it takes to open a bank account, cash a check, or collect welfare, I think you have met that threshold of making accommodations. So when we hear this rhetoric being shared, let's make sure that we are educated and that we are calling out fact and fiction to help educate those around us so that they can make informed voting decisions, so they can vote for people who support the right types of legislation to protect our freedoms.

In today's show we discuss why anyone would even want to become a Secured Party. It is my contention that the entire Federal Reserve/Legislative Democracy is commercial in nature. I do not believe that it is illegal and unlawful as many say. The reason for this is because of the "plenary power doctrine" which gives each of the branches of government absolute power within their respective delegation of powers. Congress received their powers pursuant to Article I Section 8 Clause 3, Article I Section 8 Clause 9, and Article I Section 8 Clause 17. Those three clauses in the constitution comprise the jurisdiction elements that allow congress to seize In Personam Jurisdiction over U.S. citizens. Additionally, Minimum Contacts creates the implied contractual elements (Voluntary Consent) that allow U.S. citizens (Not Private Citizens) to be taken into administrative courts (Legislative Article I Courts).

In this episode, Jason wraps up the discussion on Article I finishing with Section 10 dealing with the limits to state powers. These limits are to protect individual rights as well as ensure that states do not undermine or work against the powers given to the central government.
In this episode, Jason closes out the discussion of Article I, Section 9 including clauses 4 through 8. Each of these final clauses limits Congress in some way: from preventing direct taxation and taxing exports to preventing the interference of commerce with the states, barring titles of nobility, and ensuring Congress constitutionally authorizes the spending of money BEFORE it is withdrawn from the treasury.
In this episode, Jason explains a few of the "terms of art" that are used in the Constitution in Article I, Section 9: Writ of Habeas Corpus, Bill of Attainder, & ex post facto laws. These terms are all authorities that are specifically denied to Congress with extremely limited exceptions. Tune in to find out why these are part of what Jason calls the Bill of Rights 1.0.
In this episode, Jason breaks down Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 which denied Congress the ability to prohibit the importation and migration of people into America until 1808. He discusses the reasons for this clause and the debates and considerations by opposing sides.
In this episode, Jason goes into great detail about the spending problem facing America and the clause in the Constitution that is being used to justify it. He goes into specific detail about the original intent of the general welfare clause and how the Framers made clear that it does not mean what the enemies of liberty claim it means.
In this episode, Jason discusses one of the most abused clauses in the U.S. Constitution: the Necessary & Proper clause. This clause ensures that Congress has the latitude to pass laws that support the limited authorities granted in the Constitution, but does not expand their authority in any way.
In this episode, Jason continues the discussion about the Enumerated Powers of Congress in Article I, Section 8. Specifically, this episode covers clauses 15 - 17: two of which deal with Congress' power to call forth and govern the state Militias while in service to the U.S. and the other deals with their authority to legislate in Washington D.C. and federal installations.

In the statements, the cyber-response team alleged that Russian state-sponsored actors (which they referred to as "Fancy Bear") were responsible for the breach.145 Apparently in response to that announcement, on June 15, 2016, GRU officers using the persona Guccifer 2.0 created a WordPress blog. In the hours leading up to the launch of that WordPress blog, GRU officers logged into a Moscow-based server used and managed by Unit 74455 and searched for a number of specific words and phrases in English, including "some hundred sheets," "illuminati," and "worldwide known." Approximately two hours after the last of those searches, Guccifer 2.0 published its first post, attributing the DNC server hack to a lone Romanian hacker and using several of the unique English words and phrases that the GRU officers had searched for that day.

ROBBY WELLS 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL BE JOINING US LIVE. Robby answers the Liberty Candidate questions below: I) Re. the U.S. Financial System: 1. What is your view of the monetary system in the U.S. today? The United States faces major challenges because of the Federal Reserve (FED). The Fed is a secret society that has devalued the face amount of the dollar by 95%. By printing money out of thin air, the FED has made the value of the dollar plummet and the prices for goods and services continue to climb. The FED does secret deals with top executives on Wall Street, loans money to foreign banks, manipulates interest rates, and has lined the pockets of those in political power. As President, I will push Congress for a full audit of the FED and have it shut down. According to Article I-Section 8 of the United States Constitution, “The Congress shall have Power To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.” The Constitution does not give the power to a central bank (FED). This will change under my watch.

Chuck Morse is joined by Chris Blystone in a talk about Operation American Spring set to commence May 16, 2014. Description Mission: PRIME DIRECTIVE: Restoration of OUR Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws which limit Republicans and Democrats in Congress and the Executive Branch to eighteen powers and spending itemized under Article I Section 8 of the Constitution in accordance with the Supremacy clause of Article VI clause 2. SECOND DIRECTIVE: Inform and ENCOURAGE all Americans and our home Countries, which form "a more perfect Union" of fifty free and sovereign States, to SPONSOR AND PASS "Joint State Sovereignty Resolutions with ARREST Provisions along with vital companion legislation which shall lead up to well contemplated, well deliberated, well organized, well orchestrated, incremental State NULLIFICATION of ALL Federal Spending, without prejudice, all Unlawful Acts and all usurpations by Congress and the Executive branch that exceed the eighteen limited powers and spending items granted them under Article I Section 8, of The Constitution, pursuant to our Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws on them and the supremacy clause of Article VI clause 2 as well. All other powers and spending, according to our Tenth Amendment law shall be handled by and/or paid for by the States or the people. THIRD DIRECTIVE: Restore the balance of OUR Bill of Rights and The Constitution. FOURTH DIRECTIVE: Along with the incremental State nullification of all spending not granted to Congress or the Executive branch, shall be incremental State nullification of all withholding taxes, all employment taxes, and all income taxes in obedience to the findings and rulings of The Supreme Court of The United States who ruled; "The Sixteenth Amendment confers NO NEW TAXES on anyone who wasn't taxable before it." This will nearly double the current size of all Middle Class American paychecks so that We and our home Countries can pay for whatever WE desire, want or need for ourselves. FIFTH DIRECTIVE: Replace a handful of the worst Republican and Democrat usurpers and despots, including President Barry Soetaro, with temporary replacements, pending an emergency election, with our replacements, as well as all remaining Republican and Democrat officials, all limited to the eighteen powers and spending enumerated under Article I Section 8 of The Constitution. Assumptions: Millions of Americans will participate. American veterans and patriots are energized to end the tyranny, lawlessness, and shredding of the US Constitution. Government is not the target, it is sound; corrupt and criminal leadership must be removed, and the balance must be limited to the powers and spending granted them, with all usurpations in power, spending and gross wages and salaries restored to the States and the people from whom they were stolen without a law to do so. Those in power will not hesitate to use force against unarmed, peaceful patriots exercising their constitutional rights. Patriots may be killed, wounded, incarcerated. There is no hope given today’s technology of secrecy for the effort nor do we want it secret. Concept of Operations: Phase 1 - Field millions, as many as ten million, patriots who will assemble in a peaceful, non-violent, physically unarmed (Spiritually/Constitutionally armed), display of unswerving loyalty to the Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws and the balance of the US Constitution and against the incumbent government leadership, in Washington, D.C., with the mission to bring down the existing leadership. Go full-bore, no looking back, steadfast in the mission. Phase 2 - One million or more of the assembled 10 million must be prepared to stay in D.C. as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office. Consistent with the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, The Declaration of Independence, our Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, as required, the U.S. Congress will take appropriate action, execute appropriate legislation, deal with vacancies, or U.S. States will appoint replacements for positions vacated consistent with established constitutional requirements. Phase 3 – Those with the principles of a Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Lee, DeMint, Sessions, Gowdy, Jordan, should comprise a tribunal and assume positions of authority to convene investigations, recommend appropriate charges against politicians and government employees to the new U.S. Attorney General appointed by the new President. *All actions in Phase 2 & 3 will be consistent with the U.S. Constitution. Date of Operation: “OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING – Beginning Of Tyranny Housecleaning, May 16, 2014, completion to be determined We are past the point of no return, thus must move forward with an effort to save our nation, as there is no other choice. We are asking, pleading with you, and any others that have resources, national voices, email lists, blogs, FB, Twitter, to call for a non-violent American Spring May 16 2014 in Washington D.C. We must appeal to ten million and more American patriots to come and stay in Washington, D.C. to stop the White House and Congress from total destruction of the United States. It’s now or never. God help us. .....the law of nature rules. A fluffy, cuddly lamb gets eaten by a mean old wolf is not an illegal or immoral event...the law of nature. When some greedy, self-serving occupant of the White House or Congress, or elements outside America, is threatening our existence, our freedom, our liberty, our Constitution, our life resources, our America, then we fight back to destroy the threat and there is nothing immoral or illegal about it. When the government becomes lawless, then "we the people" no longer are obligated to follow the government......there is no law when government picks and chooses for political purposes or personal agenda. At this time the government is performing as a lawless entity...... A duck cannot be turned into a fox; an elephant cannot be turned into a flea; the laws of nature will not permit. Likewise, a nation ordained and principled by the laws of nature, sovereign, free, with liberty for all cannot naturally become a nation guided by royalty, decrees, tyranny, elitist, self-serving criminals. The former has proven desirable, the latter has proven human pain. “We can become a nation guided by royalty IF "we the people" beguiled by the government in surrender to our lusts for that which we have not earned --for what is not natural --if we have become intoxicated by unbroken success" as Lincoln proclaimed in March 30 ,1863 call for fasting, humiliation, and prayer--we can very easily heap to ourselves leaders, and with itching ears, be turned from the Truth to become enslaved by the LIE.” The United States of America (elephant) while embracing the "LIE" is teetering on the abyss of becoming a sniveling, blood sucking, undesirable nation (flea). OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING will be a gigantic step in removing the flea infestation that is sucking the blood out of America. We see no reasonable, hopeful sign that indicates there are honorable, loyal, mature, critical thinking, experienced people in government that understands the chaos about to rain down on America, nor do they care....our only hope is that "we the people" call, organize, and draw a few million patriots to stay in D.C. for an "American Spring". It would be the catalyst to draw the line and bring to a conclusion a decision on the out of control government, one way or the other. America will rise up or surrender.........for me, I only go to my knees in the presence of God Almighty...........my knees will not touch the surface as a result of some piss ant occupant of the White House or a corrupt legislator, or outside element...I will fall to my death standing if necessary. http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/purging-senior-military-officers-ncos-martial-law-in-the-not?xg_source=activity http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/any-doubt-an-american-spring-is-needed http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/the-uber-presidency-by-general-paul-vallely There is not much time and the only planning necessary is to select a starting date, which we have done, and then show up in Washington, D.C. on that date, and plan to stay for the duration. The goal is restoring our Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws, The Declaration of Independence, our Bill of Rights and our US Constitution as the law of the land, removing the lawless, usurping, despotic leadership. Will this be a cake-walk? No, it will be painful, and some people may die because the government will not be non-violent; some of us will end up in a cell, and some may be injured. If that’s what it will take to save our nation, do we have any choice? Freedom loving Americans will say there is no choice, we must begin the second American Revolution. Not with guns, but with millions of Americans demanding a return to constitutional government and the resignation of Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Holder as a start...then the constitutional restoration process can begin UNDER the Rule of OUR Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws. An AMERICAN SPRING can be avoided only if the above mentioned officials resign and the balance of Congress and the Executive branch returns all powers and taxes usurped, which exceed that granted to them under Article I Section 8, pursuant to our Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws and the supremacy clause of Article VI clause 2, to the States and the people. Will our national patriot leaders step forward and declare, “send me”, I’ll lead? There are millions of veterans and patriots ready to follow and have said “I will go”. I urge all organizations, groups, particularly veterans and military retirees begin planning to visit Washington, D.C beginning May 16, 2014. Keep tuned to this facebook site and Constitutional Emergency/Patriots for America www.patriotsforamerica.ning.com for updates and guidance. Please bathe this effort in prayer as there is no personal agenda or gain save liberty, freedom, and restoration of constitutional government for "we the people".
