Enemies Both Foreign And Domestic Part 2

December 10, 2022 | 2nd Amendment, Founders, General, History, Sovereignty

I have learned that propaganda is a powerful tool. It is wielded by a select group of politicians, media organizations, and talking heads promoted as experts. No matter how many times judges make unlawful rulings, no matter how many times politicians lie, and no matter how many times the “corporate press” have been shown to be lying, the general public refuses to rebuke those at the forefront of the take-down of America.

Tina Peters was the County Clerk Recorder of Mesa County, Colorado. She was removed, unlawfully by a judge, when she stumbled across evidence of manipulation in a recent City Council election. Let me clarify. Tina Peters is an elected official who cannot be removed from office by any judge. Allow me to repeat. A sitting judge removed an elected official without any authority to do so.

Ms. Peters brought in a consultant to make a forensic copy of the Dominion Voting System in Mesa County. The programmers left evidence that there was election tampering in the code. Because she chose to investigate fraud in our elections, she is now being prosecuted for revealing the facts; https://selectioncode.com/.

We have now been treated to what is an obvious agenda to destroy the process used for the American people to “hire” a representative to enforce Our Laws. Once again, Maricopa County in Arizona, is a point of contention where both democratic and republican poll watchers and officials have come forward to point to discrepancies in the vote.

This is America today.

America today has been planned and fashioned in a manner constructed by social engineers, and subversive agitators for over One Hundred Years. Most people cannot fathom that an agenda is fostered and promoted with a long term plan. The ability to comprehend that evil-doers do not only act from day to day, but that in order to achieve their ultimate goal they must work on a broader scale from decade to decade so that the effects of their plans are dismissed as “conspiracy.”

I have noted that even when discussing firsthand knowledge of an event, the opposite side to the debate will ignore the evidence. There is just too much vested in being ignorant, and in trusting establishments promoted as truth givers. Years back, at an international conference, David Rockefeller thanked the New York Times for misleading the public as to what was taking place under their noses.

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

However, as a veteran, I go on undaunted by events, the deniers, the liars, and the fools who choose to believe the tripe they are fed. I do so with this warning to all the nay-sayers who can’t look past their ignorant stance on accepting that, which has been disproven time and again. The elite despise you and me. They have no love for you or your children. They would sacrifice the ones you have nurtured so that the ultimate goal of a totalitarian state is achieved.

For decades, the ability of America to hold the agenda of people like Klaus Schwab, and his disciples in check was predicated on this Republics principle that it is “We the People” who are the sovereign. As such, the power “to execute the Laws of the Union” was placed firmly in the original Constitution, and supported by a Bill of Rights, of which the most critical aspect was a nation of able-bodied men who were to be organized, armed, and disciplined. As Washington put it, a people with the “teeth” to protect all their rights from tyranny.

There is a group of people that hate you and I for doing nothing more than existing in their world. To them we are “deplorable’s” who have no right to do anything other than to serve their perversions. Your children are nothing more than fodder for their war on freedom.

This administration, members of congress, the judiciary, and the “corporate press” are all proponents of open borders. Fentanyl is being allowed to flow into our country at an alarming rate. Children, who are doing nothing more than taking a dose of what appears to be an aspirin, or more insidious, a piece of candy are being murdered. The number of deaths from this invasion of illegals and drugs is staggering, and yet a good portion of the public believes that Joe Biden is doing an outstanding job. I’m not sure how they can look at themselves in the mirror, and deny that they are complicit in those murders.

The road to the destruction of America has, to my sight, been fairly obvious.

In 1913, the federal government composed the destruction of the monetary system by implementing the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank. The same year, without any confirmation of legitimacy, both the 16^th and 17^th amendments were proclaimed as being ratified by the Secretary of State. Despite thousands of certified documents showing that the amendments were only ratified by a few states, neither the courts nor the legislature would review the fraud.

Following those unlawful acts, the government began the confiscation of gold, and then regulated weapons necessary for the proper function of the Militia as commanded at Article I, § 8, Cl. 15. Despite constitutional requirements, congress, along with their allies began the slow erosion of the Right of the People to contain the unlawful acts of public officials.

Where has this brought us? What are we seeing today? Look at the leaders of this nation. Those who are lauded as progressive thinkers pushing America forward into some Utopian State. In reality, those who seek office, those who attain positions of power, the “corporate press,” and the education system are all leading us into a totalitarian state, in which your children, my children, and our grandchildren will be subject to the most horrendous life. Genocide and torture, rather than being abhorrent aspects of life will be the norm.

Don’t take my word for the evil that is being promoted. Hilary Clinton called a large segment of American’s “deplorables.” Before her were the Obama’s who by their words can only be seen as people who detest America and its “clinger’s.” Subversives have corrupted our education system. This too has not been without warning. The Ford Foundation, along with Carnegie Endowments have been promoting and financing educators who hate America. You would  be hard pressed to find conservatives within our colleges and universities. Progressives have been teaching their students to destroy American freedom for the false narrative of a good and benevolent communist regime.

Not satisfied with the corruption in higher education, they have been promoting deviance in grades as low as kindergarten. Under the direction of people like Randi Weingarten, deviant behavior is being advocated, and school boards across the nation are validating the exploitation and destruction of young minds. Much of this has been through subversion. We are in a war for the very soul of Liberty, and the majority of American’s either can’t see it, or they embrace it. We are in “The Final War” designed to usurp any form of individual liberty.

Some of us see it, and work to sound the cry. Many could care less as long as they have their beer, and sporting events designed in the same manner as the old Roman strategy of bread and circus.

Then there are those who are working, ignorantly of course, to assist in their own demise. Once again, because of my commitment to revitalize our constitutional Militia, I must call out organizations such as “Moms Demand Action”, “Everytown”, and unfortunately many so-called pro-second groups who cannot see “the forest for the trees.” Organizations where ignorance abounds, and greed deflects morality.

This was a nation of free people’s working under a banner of unalienable rights, with the sovereign power to protect and defend that, which was bequeath to us by blood, and firm words meant as a sign post to the world that this unique experiment could remain intact as long as “We the People” enforced our own authority against those who would trample down upon our freedom.

Our government is corrupt beyond the wildest fears of those who created this Republic. We are now in “The Final War”, wherein members of congress, organizations, the “corporate press,” and education system are tied to the Chinese Communist Party. A Party that has chastised the American government for not disarming its citizens. Is there a wonder as to why Biden, clearly compromised, is pushing for a ban on weapons that the Constitution requires able-bodied men to own and maintain?

I am often guided to information that leads me to the points I make in these articles. On a wall, where the Dachau concentration camp stood are the words, in five different languages, NEVER AGAIN.

Enemies Both Foreign And Domestic

October 24, 2022 | 2nd Amendment, Civil Liberties, Constitution, Militia, Republic

by Nicholas Testaccio

The fear that a nation cannot survive the traitor has been in the back of the mind of many for centuries. Someone, at some time made the point because the traitor looks like us, talks like us, and lives among us. They may be a friend or relative. They may be someone we elect to represent us, or uphold the law. They could be the perceived do-gooder who uses a political, or social position to build an organization based on some need. That need to correct whatever the issue might come with flowers, tears, and is presented with all the fanfare of a greater good. It has never, to my knowledge, achieved anything more than wealth for the promoters, and hardship for the intended beneficiaries. The far greater harm is to those of us who seek to maintain liberty.

Perhaps I am wrong about those organizations, or even government programs, but I do not see where I have missed the outcome. We need only look at “The War on Poverty”, “The War on Drugs” as two of our most malicious governmental programs. A war on something is nothing more than an attack on freedom. Most conspicuously, with open borders, cartels running amok, and over One Hundred Thousand deaths this year alone from fentanyl, we are either failing, or the traitor is succeeding.

We can look all around us and find agenda’s that are foisted upon the unsuspecting so-called beneficiary pleas for more assistance. I, myself, was fooled for years by supposed pro-2^nd organizations fighting for my right to keep and bear arms. They took my money, and here it is over Forty years since I was first introduced to the NRA, and I am now looking at the possibility that this government will pass a total ban on all semi-automatic weapons. This even though the U.S. Constitution was designed to prevent such a blatant attack on the ability to deter and prosecute “public officials” much the same as we would common criminals. More importantly to the preservation of liberty, the protection of life, and the means, by which this nation cannot be turned from a Republic to a democracy.

Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famous Roman statesman is credited with saying “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?”

Our history has been under attack for some time now. While there are skeletons in just about everyone’s closet, the accomplishments of our Founders so far outweigh their faults that  the linking of the two can in no way deter what was past to posterity. A form of government, so unique that it is lost in today’s political landscape. It is not only a tragedy that most Americans are ignorant of this nation’s laws, but also a crime of immense proportions.

The general public is so ignorant of our rule of Law that they are jeopardizing the future to a point of no return. By that I mean to say there is a reading comprehension level, and a planned destruction of our founding documents.

I am often completely puzzled by those who are prolific readers, those who abhor racism, and bigotry, yet they will make perplexing statements such as “a great democracy.” I know what a democracy is, and what our Constitution commands, Article IV, Section 4 – “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”

Why the Framers placed that command in the Constitution could best be explained by the man who has been labeled the father of that document. James Madison stated “Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.”

I have spent considerable time studying our rule of Law. I label the Constitution as such because that is exactly what it is. It does not mention women. It does not mention any races, ethnicities, nor religions. It certainly does not mention men of any race, creed, or color. What it does contain are rules of delegated authorities, powers, and disabilities. It does “not mean to leave room for the play and action of purely personal and arbitrary power.” Not my words but that of Justice Stanley Mathews who delivered the opinion of the court in a case regarding “A municipal ordinance to regulate…”

I have chosen those few words from that case for a specific reason. This is a nation of laws, but the Laws, the foundation, and the principles of the Republic are being torn apart by the foolish, the evil, and the traitor.

Alex Jones is among other things, a purveyor of truth. While he has been demonized as a sensationalist and “conspiracy theorist,” he is none-the-less one who has brought forth facts that were dismissed, and then shown to be true. His record is long, and because he has a following who know his record he must be silenced.

For his record, Jones must be silenced so that others who might speak the truth and challenge the current descent into tyranny, will fear to voice their concerns. Much the same as the political prisoners of January 6^th, a cruel and unusual punishment must be made the norm. It must be obvious to anyone who is willing to see and hear that speaking out against the agenda will not be tolerated.

In the latest show of force, the Alex Jones trials, in both Connecticut and Texas are a harbinger of what is to come unless we start regaining our sovereignty.

I am going to take a turn here, to which most will disagree. So be it if I’ve crossed the line. Throughout history, treason has come for numerous reasons. Some for gain, some for power, and some for vengeance. General Benedict Arnold turned on the Colonists because he was passed over though his actions in the field during the Revolution were exemplary. He was bitter and, I have no doubt, felt some need for vengeance.

On December 14th, 2012, an horrific act took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Twenty Six children and teachers were murdered. Whatever the emotional cost to the nation, it had to be miniscule compared to those who suffered the loss of a loved one. It is impossible for me to comprehend what those who lost someone on that day felt.

For all the suffering of that day, it is difficult for me to say without any doubt, that we have been given all the facts. I say this because you do not hide a good deal of the evidence from the public when it is those of us who had nothing to do with those murders are called to task. You do not level an entire school to quell the anguish of a community. By doing those things you create questions. Why, in the name of any reason would you act in such a fashion? There are other instances that lend doubt, but it remains in my mind, at least, that in the Twentieth Century, genocide and ethnic cleansing was responsible for the murder of at least Two Hundred Sixty Million men, women, and children. We built monuments to those who were brutally treated. We did not destroy camps such as Auschwitz. We immortalized them so that we could remember.

Almost Twenty years later you do not bring suit against someone who questioned what took place, and then retracted those comments. You do not make it clear that your actions are done to silence someone in what many attorneys are calling a rigged trial, past the statute of limitations.

At some point we must reconcile that something is very, very wrong with the parents who took part in what we have seen over the last several months. Is it vengeance? Is their grief, to this day, so immense that they want to wreak havoc on the right to a fair trial, and then place your child and mine in jeopardy of suffering under the yoke of man’s most brutal enterprise? That being a government with the sole power to wield force against the people it is supposed to serve.

It might appear here that I have placed the Sandy Hook tragedy on the same level as the horrors of the last Century. That is not the case. What I am trying to do is create a narrative that highlights the title of this article.

In this nation, “We the People” created the Rule of Law in a fashion that provides for our sovereignty over the state. As I have noted in numerous articles, we do not simply have a Right to Keep and Bear Arms, we have a solemn Duty. If we rebuke that responsibility, we suffer the consequences of tragedies such as mass shootings, or a nation suffering from agendas that cast both emotional and physical harm.

Four years ago, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr. wrote an article “The President Can Suppress School Shootings.” He wrote it using facts. Facts about our Law, and our unique form of government that could not only prevent such shootings, but unfathomable atrocities such as the Holocaust.

Let us never forget that the genocide of the last century was not simply perpetrated by a fiction known as government. It was carried out by the hands of those who followed a few leaders into the depths of depravity so mindboggling that it defies any form of reason. Much of, if not all of it, was executed by those who thought they were doing something good and noble. I have no doubt that some did so for vengeance and power. Some were convinced that it was needed for whatever went through their minds at the time. Some could not have been thinking with any compassion. I will make a point here that all were traitors to their fellow citizens.

In Marbury v Madison, 5 U.S. 137, Justice John Marshall famously stated “The government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation, if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.”

In this nation we have a vested right, as Samuel Adams noted, “Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.”

“We the People” did not create this Republic with power vested in our hands so that it may be subject to the agenda of corrupt politicians; ignorant and abhorrent people and organizations; whims and fancies, nor tragic events. We formed it with the purpose of preventing what history has taught us to be the most violent and corrupt of institutions, government.

Logic and reason derived from facts. Many of those facts are taken from events that took place decades, even centuries ago. Do we dismiss them because we believe that it cannot happen here, when in fact it has? Do we say damn to our fellow citizen because we endured heartache? Are we of the mindset that no matter what history teaches, we will walk down that path to our own demise?

We cannot continually repeat the same mistakes of the past and expect that we will come to a different place. We are not compassionate because we have empathy for those who have suffered when we turn around and make everyone else an enemy. When the Founders of this nation created the Rule of Law, by which Freedom could survive, they placed that responsibility in the hands of everyone. Their hope was for “A Republic. If you can keep it.” It was not for a democracy, in which tragedies are used to undermine the Rights and safeguards of Liberty.

No matter what the future holds, we must understand that we are mortals with fears, aspirations, and emotions that often cloud our thought process. We must follow the Law, and the Law in this nation is for organized, armed, and disciplined men who are there, on the spot, bearing their own arms, so that they may “Execute the Laws of the Union…”

The safeguards that were established at the outset of the Republic are there for a reason. If we avoid our duty to enforce those rules, then we must ask who is ultimately responsible for the tragedies that we experience? We must also remember that the prescription for diminishing our rights has been to “Never allow a crisis to go to waste.”

Instead of persecuting those of us who chose to be free, and wary of government intervention, learn from mistakes of the past. Do not follow like sheep, those who would add to not only your grief, but also inflict that onto others by the heavy hand of government thugs. Those, who throughout history have shown their willingness to murder young, old, women, and children without remorse.

This has been made a complex issue by the power hungry, and the “useful idiot.” Do not inflict your lack of understanding on me. Realize that if we are to use our grief for the purpose of circumventing that, which was designed to keep us free, then who are we, but if not “An Enemy…?”

Why Are We Here?

August 12, 2022 | General

I am a city boy, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. A much different place than what it is today. As a teenager I could hop on a bus or city subway to parts unknown. Life was much simpler at a time when civility was commonplace.

Cities are bustling, complex places of diverse structures, ethnicities, and political bent, although when, in my younger days, differences were minor and the clash from one side of the spectrum to the other were small. For the most part, we lived in relative harmony. Mother, father, son, and daughter were the makeup of society predicated on peace, prosperity, and a family unit. Things have changed over the years, but I am not of the mindset that they change for the better although there was a time when the future looked much brighter. Today, from what I have learned and can see before me, the outcome looks bleak.

I now view the world from a different place, surrounded by fields of corn, mountains, and twisted roads bringing me from one point of origin to a final destination of need. I am given to relaxing under the overhang from the second floor of my home while viewing the landscape of trees, and mountains that are now part of my life. A far different view of the stark and energetic hustle and bustle of the Big City, where, as a young man I could stay out till all hours of the morning. Life changes, sometimes for the better, other times for the worse.

I was unsure as to where I was in life until this last evening. As I watched the clouds roll in, and the thunder roar, I decided to check my e-mail from my phone. I received an email from a reader of my articles. Over the years I have received complements, and controversy about that which I have written. This evening I, in my mind, was given a confirmation of why I am here. It may be circumspect, and only a means of self-validating the hours I have spent searching for truth, the point I have missed, or the subject I have misinterpreted.

The e-mail read as follows:

Hope you are well —  wanted to share some words by Abraham Lincoln in “The Civil War”” Volume 1, p.32 by Shelby Foote.  Lincoln was speaking about slavery — the opposing sides — one for and the other against.  But, I was struck by Lincoln’s logic — his logic addresses many modern issues I have read in RestoreTheRepublic.org.  I hope this quote will provide some inspiration for you —  it did for me (“Let us dare to do our duty”)

p.32

     Presently, however, the awkwardness was dropped …… He (Lincoln) spoke with calm authority ….. Slavery was the issue, North and South, he said, probing once more for the heart of the matter.

          “All they ask, we could readily grant, if we thought slavery right;  all we ask, they could as readily grant, if they thought it wrong.  Their thinking it right, and our thinking it wrong, is the fact upon which depends the whole controversy.  Thinking it right, as they do, they are not to blame for desiring its full recognition as being right;  but, thinking it wrong, as we do, can we yield to them?  Can we cast our votes with their view and against our own?  In view of our moral, social, and political responsibilities, can we do this?”  He thought not.  “If our sense of duty forbids this, then let us stand by our duty fearlessly and effectively ….. Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the government nor of dungeons to ourselves.  Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

After reading the e-mail I stepped out from under the overhang to take in the sky as if it were a messenger from the Heavens as it struck thunder around me, and the sky grew darker, although not foreboding. As I gazed upward at the rolling clouds, a bright and beautiful rainbow appeared, where I could not miss its resounding claim of peace and tranquility.

While I am often given to wonder, amusement, and thought by my own sometimes fanciful musings, I could not help myself to think that this was indeed a sign. Some believe in an Almighty Deity as the Creator of Heaven and Earth; others believe in pure happenstance. A notion that we are here by a fluke of nature, the coming together of some forces that were there before but have no explanation for their creation over the course of Trillions of Millenia except that they existed. The whole idea seems implausible, but it is none-the-less the explanation of scientists who will go with the notion that there is no proof that God exists.

Be that as it may, I am not one who has been deprived of warnings, spiritual in nature, or to quote Obi Wan Kenobi, “Use the Force.” To me, there is a connection to the Universe that we often ignore. Could it be a “déjà vu” as a glitch in the Matrix? I firmly believe that I have been given enough signs over the years to be a believer in a fact of this Universe. We are given a task before we come here.

That task may be a never ending journey from one life to the next. It may be a call to alert others of the dangers before us. For some it might be the heroism of the battle field. To that I note that the last of those Medal of Honor recipients from WWII died July of this year. I hope that they will be remembered for a task, a lesson, a journey that is beyond the scope of the words I pen from time to time.

Our journey through life may be as simple as a final exam to which we stand before our Creator and recite the lessons we set out to learn. I hope that I am learning my lessons well enough so that I might “dare to do [my] duty as [I] understand it.”

And with that I leave you with the solemn words of Dillon Thomas.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Deadly Sins

July 14, 2022 | General

by Nicholas Testaccio

When Matthew McConaughey stood at the podium to make his “impassioned speech” for gun control, reality came crashing down around me as if Winston Smith rose from the depths of “1984” to warn that the end is here.

From “Remember the Maine” to Pearl Harbor, to the Gulf of Tonkin, to “Fast and Furious,” to Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, to Parkland, to Buffalo, and now to Uvalde, I could see it all. I could recall my father’s words, from when I was just a boy, that this country was doomed. There were already too many in the halls of the legislatures and the school system who were plotting to destroy what was once a free nation composed of a sovereign People’s.

Let’s dispense with the ignorant remarks of not believing in conspiracies because they abound. The Captain of the Maine told us that it was a bunker fire, the third one that sunk the Maine, not the Spanish, but his report was ignored by those clamoring for war with Spain.

The Captains of the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor all knew that the Japanese were going to attack, and they were given orders to fire on sight, but those orders were constantly being rescinded by Washington.

Years later it came out that the Gulf of Tonkin incident did not take place. It was a story made up by Washington to bring us into the war, but again, most do not have that knowledge.

“Fast and Furious” was a plot by the Obama administration designed to infringe on the Second Amendment by selling guns to Mexican drug cartels. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered as a result of that conspiracy. Eric Holder lied, bold face, before congress and was never charged. However, Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon are both being charged with felonies for refusing to testify before congress.

According to the Secret Service, Eighty-One Percent of the shooters, whose intent was to perpetrate a mass shooting, was known to someone as planning the horror. We now know that the Uvalde shooter was on Discord and communicating with an undercover FBI agent. Every one of these incidents stink, and if we were allowed to investigate, and comb through the evidence, I can guarantee that we will find a government fingerprint somewhere in the rubble and carnage.

However, “We the People” are not allowed to investigate. Instead, we are fed whatever the media portrays as fact coming from “public officials” who cannot stop the lies and deceit from vomiting out of their mouths. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated almost Sixty years ago, and we still don’t know the truth of the matter, except for the fact that a nation buried one of its finer presidents. A man, while he had his own personal issues, was working to remove the stink of those who were destroying this nation.

I want to know exactly what took place at Sandy Hook? I want to know why we are not allowed to see all the details when it is being used as a tool to infringe on a right inestimable to the security of a nation hangs in the balance? I want to know why the parents of those poor children are given sway over an entire nation, when the path they have taken is in every-way-shape-or-form “A Case Of Treason”. Yes, that’s right. In this nation, although it has fallen on deaf ears, the original Constitution makes the bearing of arms a Duty. And if we were to adhere to those constitutional commands as the Framers installed them, I can guarantee that these mass shootings would never have occurred.

The Founders of this nation have been, as Thomas Sowell has documented, demonized and their attempts to make that, which “A Declaration” so eloquently states, a reality; “We hold these truths to be self-evident – That all men are created equal – That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights – That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…”  However, their efforts have been parsed to the waste bin of history by those in government, educators, and media in order to tear apart the soul of liberty.

We all have our faults. Some of us understand our shortcomings and work to improve ourselves. Others, such as those we elect to represent us, take our faults, and use them to undermine and destroy the things that we must hold sacred.

Some are so ignorant of what swirls all around them that they are easily swayed to be a tool of men such as Klaus Schwab, or Joe Biden, a consummate liar. The Clinton’s, the Obama’s, and a host of other’s growing out of the World Economic Forum who tell us what they have planned.

The forked tongue viper sways many a fool into becoming an instrument, by which atrocities can be committed. The Armenians, the Jews, the Ukrainians, the Chinese, the Cambodians, the stench of genocide permeated the air of the Twentieth Century, all documented in a study titled “Democide: Murder By Government”. Two-Hundred-Sixty Million plus murdered at the hands of government in the last century, and here we are in the Twenty-First Century with groups such as Moms Demand Action, and Everytown asking us to hand over to that same entity the tools the Founder’s bequeath to us to stave off the hands of government agents acting with false authority. In the words of Alexander Hamilton, “that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”

What I hear from the likes of these people is I have suffered, now its your turn. I will do whatever I can to bring you the same pain I have felt. While we must sympathize with those who have been through such a life shattering experience, the empathy must be held at bay once their revenge is brought forth upon those of us who had nothing at all to do with their tragedy. Their actions are a direct attack on the lives of myself, and my loved ones. They are attempting to hand over to that entity that Thomas Paine noted; “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”

They live by the illusion that “it can’t happen here,” and yet they are doing everything they possibly can to bring that about. First, they have no right whatsoever to engage government  to bring its heavy boot down on the necks of those who are innocent. Second, they are so blinded by their circumstance that they cannot recognize that they are the same people who loaded Jews onto freight cars destined for places like Auschwitz, slave labor camps in Siberia, or were the assassins of those who did nothing more than speak out, be an intellectual, or simply exist with different beliefs.

The facts are out there for all to see, and most have little desire to learn the truth. If you removed the Second Amendment today, it would have no effect on our Law. Article I, § 8, Cls. 15 & 16 contain more than any other statue on the numerous volumes of code that have been produced since this nation’s inception.

Article I, § 8, Cl. 15 delegates to Congress the authority “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions”. One sentence, one clause, but what does it say in its entirety?

The Colonial Militia existed long before “A Declaration” was ratified. For those who do not, or even reject the history of this country, on April 19, 1775, Seventy Militia, under the command of Captain John Parker, mustered on the Green in Lexington as a show of force against Seven-Hundred British Regulars who had come to disarm the militia. Militia mustered not as a voluntary force, but as able-bodied men, organized, armed, and disciplined in accordance with colonial statutes.

From Lexington all the way to Boston, colonial Militia engaged the retreating British Column. They were equipped with rifles and accoutrement prescribed in the militia statutes that had been in place for well over One-Hundred Years. The fact that those men acted in accordance with specific function and equipment as laid out in the statutes seems to have been lost to time, and more likely propaganda.

Although, throughout the war for Independence Militia did not fare that well, it was nevertheless what the Framers knew and understood when they penned Clause 15. Able-bodied men capable of bearing arms they themselves supplied for the purpose of fulfilling the constitutional commands.

Clause 15 also makes this very salient point. The Constitution, to which all our representatives must take an oath, not only states that body with the specific authority “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions”, by its enumeration, it prevents legislators from restricting, and disbanding that institution. It also places a barrier to the creation of any entity that might infringe on the powers commanded by the Constitution. Once again, the legal doctrine is “Expressio unius est exclusio alterius;” “Expression of one is the exclusion of another.”

In simplest terms, the creation of any institution, such as the FBI, violates the principle and the Law as it is set down in Article I, § 8, Cl. 15. None of the alphabet agencies can therefore claim any law enforcement powers. However, in this day-and-age, even those who claim to be patriots, or more perplexing still, attorney’s, who have supposedly studied law, are not willing to point out this glaring violation.

As I noted above, the fact that Eric Holder lied before congress, and more than likely should have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder went untouched, while some political opponents have been charged with serious crimes for doing much less. It is insidious and we are refusing to acknowledge that there is an obvious plan to overthrow our form of government. Why don’t the people act? They certainly have the legitimate tools to do so.

What is it about maintaining and employing the militia that appears to be repugnant to the public?

“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpations and arbitrary power of rulers…And yet, though this truth would seem so clear…among the American people, there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights.” – Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution.

Justice Story wrote the Commentaries in 1833. He notes, even back then, after having fought a war for Independence, and another to secure the nation just Eighteen Years later, the people were already abandoning their powers as if they were some great burdens to be arbitrarily discarded for convenience’s sake.

It is also important to note that Story understood the critical aspect of being “organized” in order that it be “practicable to keep the people duly armed.” In this, the public has lost a basic principle of strength. As part of  U.S. military training, the chain of command is explicitly stressed. This is and has always been critical to the American military. Unlike other nations, in which there was no chain of command, forces became disrupted as superiors fell. This is something that those in the so-called militia movement, and even the pro-2^nd community do not comprehend. There must be a structure, and that foundation must be rooted in the Rule of Law.

As the old expression goes, “I have talked myself blue in the face over this topic,” but undaunted by the fact that few seem to understand the gravity of the situation, I continue to reach out to anyone who will listen. We have enemies all around us, successful by the fact that the majority suffers from the most abhorrent of the Deadly Sins; Pride.

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Pride is considered the author of all the deadly sins in that it is what spawned the uprising of Lucifer and his followers in Heaven. Pride creates a hubris that prevents the lifting of the veil that is cast upon our eyes and blocks the truth from coming through. And because the truth will not be allowed we can rest our thoughts on the fact that all is well if I am fine. Nothing to be done if I stick to my own needs, thus casting the heinous sin of sloth. I can be ambivalent and the tide of terror so obvious will simply pass me by.

Every election we continue to vote into office those who have shown their “Lust” for power; their “Gluttony;” their “Greed.” Unabated, we go dutifully to the polls and vote for those who would share their sinful behavior by promising that which they never deliver except into their own pocketbooks.

I am equally as prideful in trying to educate others to the truth of the matter. I recently had a conversation with a friend who pointed out that there is not one person in any office who agrees with what I say about the Constitution. As I note, repeatedly, I am simply reciting the words that are plain as day scribed into that document; “for it is evident from the whole instrument, that no word was unnecessarily used, or needlessly added. The many discussions which have taken place upon the construction of the Constitution have proved the correctness of this proposition and shown the high talent, the caution, and the foresight of the illustrious men who framed it. Every word appears to have been weighed with the utmost deliberation, and its force and effect to have been fully understood.” – Williams v. United States, 289 U.S. 553

Am I just the fool to think that the character of man is ready to ascend beyond the errors and mistakes of the past? The pages of history are soaked with the blood of fools and tyrants. “Useful Idiots,” such as those who call for disarming the public are given the headlines rather than those of us who point to the past to remind others that given the choice between liberty and tyranny, the majority will always choose the latter.

Given the choice between closing my eyes to the truth, and assimilating the propaganda, I will error on the side of freedom. Freedom, as does all the components of this life, does hold risk. I am willing to accept the taunts, the accusations, and the condemnation of those who seek only to be secure in themselves at the danger of bequeathing to posterity a world, in which my children will have nothing, and they will be happy. A proposition that I contend is not the natural order of humanity.

So, to the fool and the astute alike, I repeat what is written into the Constitution as the Framers instituted as the People’s Teeth in Law; “A well regulated Militia” is the proper and only recognized authority “To execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions.”

Despite the cries of those who assume that feelings should be used to push unconstitutional acts that diminish the power of the People to stave off tyranny, I will continue to sound a truth. Not that which has been created by a subversive agenda designed to enslave us all. It’s not that we haven’t been warned; Former KGB Agent, Yuri Bezmenov, Warns America About Socialist Subversion.

We can hear and see his warnings playing out as cities are set on fire, and certain segments of the political spectrum are allowed to cut a swath of terror across the country.

The Left is in the streets causing chaos while the right condemns violence. The right is perfectly willing to accept violence from the left as it is unfolding. The Left is more than happy to apply that violence with encouragement from our “leaders.” It is clear that people in positions of power are not only condoning violent Leftists, but they are aiding and abetting that behavior. For those who are ignorant of the history of the last century, genocide promoted by “evil” authoritarians in government used the same tactics we see being employed today.

If Americans don’t wake up and stop espousing the ridiculous notion that conspiracies don’t exist, while informing the enemy that we are willing to accept any and all forms of violence for some high ideal, we will lose what is left of the Republic.

Violence is employed on a daily basis by government agents performing duties that are forbidden by the Constitution. Stop your ludicrous pandering to whatever it is you are supposedly trying to accomplish. We are in a fight for the Republic. If you don’t know how to maintain Liberty through enumerated powers that “We” enshrined in the Constitution, you are doing nothing more than condemning us and future generations to an onslaught of violence. Peace is wonderful, but at what cost? When you close your eyes for that last time, are you closing them to the horror that you have left to your children?

The Right Stuff

April 9, 2022 | 2nd Amendment, Civil Liberties, Constitution, Founders, General, Judicial, Militia

by Nicholas Testaccio

There are times when I become maudlin over the affairs of the Nation and the World. At those points in my life, I feel the need to lash out with a rant. I see, what to me is an obvious lack of spirit, desire, the absolute soul crunching failure to protect that, which is most precious to the human spirit. I want to run through the streets yelling at the top of my lungs – DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR AMBIVALENCE AND IGNORANCE?

I am very fortunate in that my grandparents saw fit to take that journey from Italy to a country over Three-Thousand miles away. I did not know my paternal grandfather as he passed away when my father was still a boy. He came with a skill and used it to set-up his business as a barber. I wish that I could have spent time with him as I did with my maternal grandfather Vincent. Unfortunately, I was just Ten years old when Grandpa Vincent passed away. In the short period of time I had to spend with him I learned about tools. I learned about the soil as he had quite a large garden in the middle of Brooklyn, New York. There was an apricot tree some thirty feet high that produced hundreds of its sweet fruit. Three peach trees from which we would snack. Strawberry’s, blackberry’s, figs, and nuts that often made breakfast a delight when I’d spend the summer days with my grandparents.

Grandpa was a veteran of WWI. He came to America, walked from the ship to the local recruiting station, and joined the army. Several years later he would warn the young men in the family that “War is a terrible thing.”. As far as I know all the men in my family served in WWII if they were able. I had the privilege of hearing about some of the events that took place at Pearl Harbor on that dark day from one of those men. He laughed as he noted “We didn’t know what was going on.”.

History is replete with stories from the men and women who survived the turmoil and the vicissitudes of turbulent, dark, and dangerous times. For some of those who survived it was a scar that would not heal. For others, the realization that they made it through made them stronger. They could laugh at the past, taking note of the actions they took, and be thankful for another day.

In Henry V, William Shakespeare wrote what would become a battle cry throughout the ages as commanders often took the time to read Henry’s speech. Generals read the words to rouse the spirits of their own men, some of whom would lay down their lives. As I think ahead to what might befall this nation, in the midst of strife, I would like to call together those who see that our country is under siege. We are facing an enemy unlike that, which Henry and his tired, hungry troops faced.

On October 25, 1415, Henry’s depleted force of some Five Thousand Men, were blocked from their return to England by an army of Twenty Thousand French. At Agincourt, Henry used everything he had in front of him to his advantage. The English Men-At-Arms slaughtered about one-third of the French army, while Henry suffered the loss of but a few hundred. Against tremendous odds King Henry V was able to defeat the French in what is marked as one of the great military victories throughout history.

In Shakespeare’s soliloquy of what Henry V might have spoken to his men, he calls forth that spirit that stirs all to victory. The battle was in front of a tired group of soldiers, stressed by the campaign they had fought. This battle was for all that was left within them, and the pages of history that would place the appropriate label upon their victory or loss.

“That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart. His passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse.
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.”

As you scroll through the pages of history, you may have a glimpse of what was, but more importantly, what may come. Patrick Henry tells us “I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.”. Yet, we are allowing our history to be destroyed by factions that I am convinced are part of a plan influenced by communist agitators and their promotors.

Henry went on to shout “Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!”. And now we come to the point of my rant, as I see a downfall aided by those who have no inkling of their complicity in our demise.

Let me repeat. “As a citizen, I know the government *** to be republican; and my short definition of such a government is one constructed on this principle — that the supreme power resides in the body of the people.”.– Chisholm v Georgia 2 U.S. 419, 457. If this be the case of a nation “of, by, and for the people”, then a method of retaining that sovereignty over a servant government should be enumerated in our founding documents. And if that means be so stated, then it must be employed for the purposes of which it was made law.

A Declaration made on July 4^th, 1776 explains the principles of this nation where that foundation created  government “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”.

Fifteen years later The United States Constitution was ratified as the “Supreme Law of the Land”, defining the delegated authorities, and restrictions for the operation of such a country, wherein the People retain sovereignty. In order for this document, and the application of “just powers from the consent of the governed” to function as desired, the Constitution must mean exactly what it says, or it means nothing at all.

For it to mean exactly what it says, certain rules of law, and indeed the English language must apply. Doctrines that were studied and employed by those who debated and ratified the Constitution were meant to be carried forward, not set aside for the deconstruction of the rule. Some of those doctrines include the fact, that throughout the World, the sovereign, “We the People”, have the ultimate authority to self-defense, the ability to prosecute, the sanctity of immunity by way of our sovereignty, and the means, by which we can protect those powers.

For it to mean exactly what it says, we must understand that if it says one thing, it does not mean to imply an alternative; “Expressio unius est exclusio alterius.”  The Constitution, to which every “public official” swears an oath, expressly recognizes one body, that is the body of the sovereign authority, “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions”. It can be no other way. It cannot be construed to allow “public officials” to create agencies such as the FBI, ATF, and other governmental enterprise with any authority “to execute the Laws of the Union…” To say other, or to enforce powers usurped by agencies of government makes the subscriber complicit in the destruction of liberty.

If the Constitution is not clear to you, then I suggest that you refer to the words of those who debated each word and understood its meaning. Those words do not grant an authority to interpret what the Framers explicitly wrote. If you are enamored of a judiciary who has torn apart the rule of law, may I suggest you consult the papers of Robert Yates, who feared that “The supreme court under this constitution would be exalted above all other power in the government, and subject to no control. *** I question whether the world ever saw, in any period of it, a court of justice invested with such immense powers, and yet placed in a situation so little responsible.”

And then those of Alexander Hamilton who wrote “If there are such things as political axioms, the propriety of the judicial power of a government being coextensive with its legislative, may be ranked among the number. The mere necessity of uniformity in the interpretation of the national laws, decides the question. Thirteen independent courts of final jurisdiction over the same causes, arising upon the same laws, is a hydra in government, from which nothing but contradiction and confusion can proceed.”. 

Yates wrote in opposition to the Constitution, while Hamilton wrote as a supporter. In reading Hamilton, I find that he presents reasoned conclusion based on the written word. Yates, on the other hand, has an insight as to what he perceived as the outcome. In opposition to the judiciary, he wrote;

“In my last, I shewed, that the judicial power of the United States *** would be authorized to explain the constitution, not only according to its letter, but according to its spirit and intention; and having this power, they would strongly incline to give it such a construction as to extend the powers of the general government, as much as possible, to the diminution, and finally to the destruction, of that of the respective states.”

“First. Let us enquire how the judicial power will effect an extension of the legislative authority.

“Perhaps the judicial power will not be able, by direct and positive decrees, ever to direct the legislature, because it is not easy to conceive how a question can be brought before them in a course of legal discussion, in which they can give a decision, declaring, that the legislature have certain powers which they have not exercise, and which, in consequence of the determination of the judges, they will be bound to exercise. But it is easy to see, that in their adjudications they may establish certain principles, which being received by the legislature, will enlarge the sphere of the power beyond all bounds.”

Article III, which details “The judicial Power”, is simple. If we are to take the written word for something other than what it meant at the time, and particularly in law, we place ourselves in peril, and this is where we stand today. We have either proved the “Anti-Federalists” to be at least prophetic, or the “Federalists” to be delusional. If those who opposed the Constitution were not wary enough to comprehend the human character, and demand a “Bill of Rights”, we might be in a far worse position than we have allowed.

As it stands now, we walk in the same path as did those who claimed that the Constitution would be enforced as it was written. In fact, those who have the loudest voice in the community that see themselves as constitutionalists are at best as delusional as those who could not see that, as Adams opined, if there were not evil in this world, governments would be unnecessary.

Today, as the field of battle is laid out before us, there is one side that operates under the principle that “all’s fair in love and war”. The other subscribes to an illogical notion that we must do it peacefully. I say illogical because to succeed peacefully you must have a working knowledge of how to obtain such a lofty goal. An ending, in which blood, tears, and destruction are not part of the road to victory. If the last two years have not proved otherwise I am speaking to the wall.

It should be noted that, aside from the fact that peacefully, at this point, is a matter of degree as to how much blood will shed before the one side wakes from whatever cloud in which they reside.

For a peaceful resolution to be attained, one must first understand “the Laws of the Union”, and by what methods have been established those Laws must be enforced. This is part of the prescription that appears to be lost on the conservative commentators constantly proclaiming peace as the methodology for rectifying the turmoil the other side created.

I have news for those who cannot reconcile that you will not attain any goal unless you comprehend the path to victory. There must be a strategy to success, but that plan should not include taking blow after blow from the opposition. You’ve already lost the battle. Wake up! You cannot achieve success if you ignore all the tools necessary for victory.

We have abdicated, even denied the proposition of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. We have turned a blind eye to the slow erosion of all our rights, including the critical right and Duty to maintain the Militia. We have, in the face of all the violations of the Constitution ignored the fundamental obligation “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”

How do we do this peacefully when all around, even those with law degrees, appear to have almost no comprehension of the rule of law? The principles of our form of government, the mere fact that this is a Constitutional Federal Republic, but we allow our representatives to subvert that foundation, and the sovereignty of the people places a question mark on everything that so-called patriots propose.

While the talking heads keep insisting on doing this “peacefully” and working local politics by placing people in office who are clueless as to how our system was designed to work is as inane as spitting into the wind.  

You can debate this all you would like but remember that you are doing it at the cost of your freedom, and unfortunately mine and my children. You can live by that which you have been indoctrinated, or you can act by what you’ve learned. You can argue points that are in direct opposition to the written word, or you can focus on what is there in plain text. You can continue to make statements based on a program of propaganda designed to destroy your independence, or you can take up the “Sword” in the form of the lawful tools bequeath to us.

We can start by asking questions of our representatives when we see our laws degenerating into agenda driven abominations. Perhaps we can ask the current Senate is there any chance that those who are sworn to uphold the Constitution might tell us why the hell are we ever considering people for the high court who have a political bent, or particular DNA?

Can we start nominating people who will read the Constitution and actually understand that it is composed of powers and disabilities? Changes to the Constitution do not enhance our freedom, but rather expand the reach of government. It is a rule book with specific authorities laid out for the operation of those we entrust with office. It is not a living document for whatever agenda might arise.

Recently, Congresswoman Boebert said that the Constitution was not evolving. She was blasted for that, but I did not hear anyone come to her defense. IS THE ENTIRE CONGRESS IGNORANT OF THE LAW, AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

The Constitution has evolved through the lawlessness of those we trust to uphold their oath of office. It was not designed to evolve. While it has a method for change, that is not the same as taking the words that those who debated and ratified understood, then perverting them to suit the needs of what has become a VERY DANGEROUS government. As a  point of law, “We know of no reason for holding otherwise than that the words *** on the one hand, and *** on the other, were used in the Constitution in their natural and obvious sense. Nor, in arriving at what those terms embrace, do we perceive any ground for enlarging them beyond, or narrowing them within, their natural and obvious import at the time the Constitution was framed and ratified.” Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, 158 U.S. 601 (1895)

There are no hidden meanings within the sections and clauses that outline the function of a government subservient to the People it serves. “[J]ust powers from the consent of the governed…” is not code for we can take what we wish to attain our goal. “[J]ust powers” are enumerated and limited to those exact words as were ratified. The delegated authorities, and disabilities so stated are not malleable phrases for our representatives to twist and turn into the destruction of our independence. They are roadblocks and bulwarks against the avarice, evil, and treachery of those who would sell out their constituents for some crumbs at the table of power.

The Framers of the Constitution institutionalized the “Militia of the several States” as the first line of defense against the convulsions of invasions and the turmoil of internal strife. Yet we here, even those who pretend to be patriotic, and those who strive for the illusion of a peaceful outcome are wanting to comprehend the magnitude of our denial of the one tool that the Founders deemed “necessary to the security of a free State…”

It is illogical to glance past the fact that Militia is the only institution that was cast as “necessary.” The fact that we deny the law and statutes surrounding the form and function of Militia speaks volumes to who we are, and what we are willing to ignore for the sake of our convenience.

In 1939, Justice McReynolds wrote these words in the Miller decision; “With obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of [Militia], the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted and applied with that end in view.

“The Militia which the States were expected to maintain and train is set in contrast with Troops which they were forbidden to keep without the consent of Congress. The sentiment of the time strongly disfavored standing armies; the common view was that adequate defense of country and laws could be secured through the Militia — civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion.”

We cannot continue to deny our birthright with arguments incongruent “the debates in the Convention, the history and legislation of Colonies and States, and the writings of approved commentators.” Those Founders who drafted, debated, and ratified the Constitution were succinct in their application of the ultimate power passed down to us. In order to maintain a free State, we hand to you the Duty to preserve a functioning, organized, armed, and disciplined Militia.

In days ahead, and hopefully with the flower of freedom fresh and revitalized by the will of good People, we might proclaim,

‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

The path to a peaceful outcome, in which “We the People” reclaim our sovereignty shrinks as the days go by, and we delude ourselves into thinking that we may accomplish that which has never been done before. That is to say, attain a peaceful solution while being both ignorant of the rule of law, and depending on others equally as ignorant of the truth.
