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.

The Right of Self Defense

November 29, 2021 | 2nd Amendment, Civil Liberties, General, History, Militia, Sovereignty

by Nicholas Testaccio

On August 27^th of 2020, the online site Revolver wrote the following; “In a surprising turn of events, the New York Times has done some actual, real investigative reporting and confirmed Revolver’s conclusion that the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting is an open-and-shut case of self-defense. Shockingly, the evidence turned up by the New York Times actually strengthens the case for self-defense.”

Despite the protests, the propaganda, deceit, and the outright lies, a jury of his peers agreed that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. I am sure that there were many thoughts as to the ramifications of a not guilty verdict that played heavy on the minds of the jurors, but they delivered a verdict that should never have been in question. Instead, the propagandist in the media and government doubled-down on their lust for more blood and suffering. The congressman from New York, Jerald Nadler, has called for the DOJ to investigate the matter.

This is what our future will look like, a nation torn apart by those whose goal is to bring America to its knees. We have already seen the DOJ unleashed on parents concerned about the quality of education their children are receiving. In fact, Attorney General Merrick Garland has lied before congress on this matter, but the AG is part of the internal threat to American’s so he will not suffer any consequences. Hopefully, I am wrong with that assessment.

As I go about the business of learning what others think of such matters, I am constrained to conclude that because of the factors of ambivalence, ignorance of our law, and naivety we may fall to a civil war, or devolve into a tyrannical state. I have heard enough people, who perceive themselves as intelligent, make the outlandish statement that they do not believe in conspiracies. You need only read the words of our Founders and examine the Constitution to recognize that conspiracy is the norm, but not the aberration. The Constitution is clear, it is an instruction manual for limited delegated authority, with the power of the Sword placed firmly in the hands of the people. There are no hidden meanings as professed by self-proclaimed scholars, nor is it open to interpretations made by black robed administrators, and their lackeys, commonly known as lawyers.

As I have attempted to convey, on so many occasions, this is a nation of sovereigns. “We the People” set down the Law, and “We the People,” in order to preserve our sovereignty established that it is our Right and our Duty to protect and defend our freedom, and especially our lives above the protestations of the oligarch and ignorant alike. The rule is “innocent until proven guilty” and “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer..”

Bear in mind that in the Rittenhouse case, without any evidence that the young man was a racist or bigot he was labeled as such, and after the fact that he did not shoot anyone of African descent, the media is still playing the race card. More so disturbing is that there is still a large number of people who believe that young Rittenhouse killed Black men in his defense of himself, and therefore a murderer regardless of the facts.

Consider the fact that our government, I say “our” with a smirk because it no longer acts as our servant, has, for decades worked to disarm the public, and destroy the right of self-defense against this most pernicious enemy; the institution itself.

“We inquire, therefore, what, at the time the Constitution was framed and adopted, [was] recognized” as self-defense? The Constitution is not a difficult document to read, as are the unconstitutional, verbose, and often ambiguous acts of contemporary legislators. It came with a set of detailed instructions from the delegates and observers of the constitutional convention. The history of political and legal doctrine was no secret to the Framers, and they were religious in their reliance on the brilliant minds of politics and law that had gone before them, and fortunately, lived at that moment.

John Locke is referred to as the Father of Liberalism, a political and moral philosophy that underlines our form of government; “Consent of the governed.” His writings and principles helped guide our Founders to establish a government of, by, and for the people. It is no easy task to maintain that mindset when we have a legal system that has bastardized the law and usurped the authority of the people in order to centralize it to the ever growing threat that is government. Let us reflect on Locke’s explanation as it plays an important role with regard to the Kenosha affair and the push to disarm the American people.

John Locke described self-defense in this manner; “The defence of one’s self, or the mutual and reciprocal defence of such as stand in the relations of husband and wife, parent and child, master and servant.  In these cases, if the party himself, or any of these his relations, be forcibly attacked in his person or property.” Let’s pause here a moment. If you recall, during the Rittenhouse trial the prosecutor asserted that there is no right to protect property. In general, that is, of course, contrary to the instinct of man, and a violation of a natural right.

Locke goes on in his description to say, “it is lawful for him to repel force by force; and the breach of the peace, is chargeable upon him of the human mind; and (when external violence is offered to a man himself, or those to whom he bears a near connection) makes only who began the affray.  For the law, in this case, respects the passions it lawful in him to do himself that immediate justice, to which he is prompted by nature, and which no prudential motives are strong enough to restrain. It considers that the future process of law is by no means an adequate remedy for injuries accompanied with force; since it is impossible to say, to what wanton lengths of rapine or cruelty outrages of this sort might be carried, unless it were permitted a man immediately to oppose one violence with another. Self-defence, therefore, as it is justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the law of society. In the English law particularly it is held an excuse for breaches of the peace, nay even for homicide itself: but care must be taken, that the resistance does not exceed the bounds of mere defence and prevention; for then the defender would himself become an aggressor.”

On that night, in which Kyle Rittenhouse was compelled to employ deadly force to protect himself, the city of Kenosha was subjected to rioting, looting, and arson. All of those offences constitute a “breach of the peace,” for which any freedom loving, and reasonable man may, and for the purpose of “immediate justice”, “repel force by force” in order to maintain some semblance of peace for himself, and for those whose lives, their livelihood, and future may depend. However, in the context of the mayhem that swept our nation, prosecutor Binger, and indeed the State by its agent’s actions, dismissed and made lite of the suffering the people of Kenosha, and others across our country, should endure so that they might be turned to beg for mercy from this now subversive government and its myrmidons in the media.

This matter comes to mind as we watch our nation decline into an inexplicable state of confusion where those protecting themselves from a physical affront are prosecuted while all manner of aggressors are set free to continue their rampage of violence. We need only turn to the summer of 2020 that cast several cities on fire, a call for disbanding the police while looters, and rioters went along on the merry jaunt of destruction. It was clear to me that those subversives who had infiltrated our government were gaining momentum in the plan to destroy America. At every level was the mindset of people turned away from logic, reason, and comprehending clearly quantified words.

A young man stepped into the fray, only to be caught up in the insidious plot to take down America. Kyle Rittenhouse was labeled as a racist, bigot, and murderer by one side while the other side, failed to protect the young man who exhibited a level of competence in a situation in which most would have succumbed.

The lies, and propaganda continue unabated. Missing from this debate? The absolute inexcusable failure of those in so-called pro-second groups, conservative journalists, and others who claim to be supporters of the Constitution, to enumerate and enforce the rule of law.

This is a nation of, by, and for the people, and we act as if agents of government can interpret away our sovereignty. The Constitution does not enumerate, or even suggests that the courts may evaluate a rule to suit their own personal agenda. There is no delegated authority with which the courts may construe a clause to mean something other than the intended purpose that was debated and understood by those who wrote and ratified “the supreme Law of the Land.”

The Bill of Rights was appended to the original Constitution to highlight and reinforce that which was already expressed by enumeration or doctrine of law. The Bill of Rights does not grant nor protect rights. Its function was to elaborate the rights and restrictions declared as part and parcel of operating a nation where “sovereignty itself, remains with the people, by whom and for whom, government exists, and acts.”.

It is the original Constitution that enumerates and commands the authority that “We the People” hold in our possession as the ultimate power. Article I, § 8, Cl. 15 requires that the States maintain Militia as defined in the existing statutes. Militia must be kept in accordance with the standards and functionality as known from colonial America to the newly formed nation. It did not need an explanation because it was a pre-existing institution familiar to all. Those statutes required all able-bodied men, not exempt or forbidden to do so, to go armed with weapons they themselves purchased through the free market. Eventually, those statutes were changed as early as 1861 to remove any prohibitions based on race, creed, or color.

Why do we ignore this fundamental authority, and chatter on about an “individual rights theory” when the Founders specifically enumerated the institution, by which we could protect all our rights? There is obviously an element of evil that works to enslave the average person, and what is horrifying to me is that they enlist our neighbors in the destruction of the essence of freedom and liberty.

While destruction rained down upon the streets of Kenosha, a young man stepped into the fray. Not to riot, loot, and burn, but to lend aide to a city under attack from subversives working their plan to tear down America. Without knowing or understanding the constitutional duty “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions,” Kyle Rittenhouse walked in the footsteps of the men who mustered at Lexington and Concord to thwart the aspirations of the tyrants who infest our government.

I wonder if any of these so-called patriots have ever understood the Constitution? The Framers placed the power of the Sword and Sovereignty in the hands of the people. The enforcement of the law is clearly stated and is not debatable. The Constitution, to which every public official must swear an oath, restricts all of them, and recognizes the existing Militia  as the power of the people to supersede acts of this servant government. The problem is that we have abdicated that authority. Not only have we abdicated our power, but we disparage it for fear that a knock may come at the door asking why we promoted the requirements the Constitution set down.

Kyle Rittenhouse used the force of law bequeath to us by those who understood that their failure would see them hanging at the end of a rope. Those people of the Revolution stood in the breach without regard to their safety. The able-bodied men of that period took the arms that they purchased in the free market and mustered for the fight of their lives. It was a long tumultuous period, in which many battles were lost. There were men of steel such as Ethan Allen and Francis Marion who fought as guerillas to disrupt the British, but the war could not have been won without the assistance of the French who came to our aide.

Today there is no aide coming. The destruction of America is a global agenda. Therefore, a key to our failure is the corruption of the Republic into a democracy where democratic apparatchiks gather in large cities to promote crime and poverty. Under the banner of “we care” is the insidious plot to instill fear among the defenseless and ignorant who clamor for more of the intervention that brought them to their point of desperation. A pattern that has been used for decades stairs us in the face, but we cover our eyes for fear that we might have to take up the banner of the past and confront tyranny.  

While subversives in government, the media, and organizations such as Mothers Demand Action chip away at our rights, most Americans sit back and hope for the best, while never preparing for the worst. I ask myself, how in the name of reason does anyone aspire to disarm the general population? That is a level of madness that cannot be explained when we consider the history of the world. It is not the individual who wages wars, or genocide, but a small group who convince the people that those atrocities are good, or necessary.

Kyle Rittenhouse was performing a Duty that is enshrined in the Supreme Law of the Land as the People’s authority over “public officials” whose goal is more power. The old idiom “Give an inch and they’ll take a mile.” Law is not meant to be ambiguous. If there are inconsistencies in a rule or regulation, then the legislation is meaningless. If the act steps beyond the bounds “We the People” have established, then it is an attempt to usurp our freedom. If an act is designed to render the people defenseless against their servant government, it is an act of tyranny. It can only be concluded that the plot is for the subjugation, and, as in the past, the extermination of dissidents. Or as I would call them, liberty loving people.

The Rittenhouse incident has given public officials and their lackeys a talking point for more gun control while the so-called pro-second groups cling to a theory that expresses no force of law. There are so many lawful avenues by which we can defend all our rights, but we make no effort to walk down those path’s. Part of that, I suppose, rests with a judiciary so corrupt that they are blind to their own evil. It is inexcusable if we consider the concept of this unique form of government, or perhaps its uniqueness confuses the doctrine that “Governments are instituted among Men, 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…”  

Whatever the case may be, I am convinced that there is a sinister plot to destroy the concept of this nation and turn it to a totalitarian state. Other’s may laugh at the idea of conspiracies, but the record is available for anyone wishing to open their eyes. I can only pray that there is a turn in the mindset of the public, but human nature as it is does not leave me with much hope. We now operate as subjects to the State instead of its Master. Why would I believe that the majority will some how come to their senses, take it upon themselves to understand what our Founders did, and then recognize that we are teetering on the ledge of destruction?

“Who knows what evil”

September 12, 2021 | General

by Nicholas Testaccio

Lamont Cranston made his way into entertainment history back in the 1930’s. Cranston a dark and shadowy character known as “The Shadow” fought against evil. The show began with the question “Who knows what evils lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!”. The show ended each episode with “The weed of crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does not pay…The Shadow knows!”.

Ah, to have such a dark individual around today seeking out the evil doers and putting an end to their nefarious escapades would be a blessing. Unfortunately, the task would be too great for a single “Shadow”. The job would require a task force of many. Indeed, the city of Washington D.C. would require its own “Shadow” as would each state capitol. Another would have to right the immense evil cast out by the media.

I spend a good deal of my time reading articles, listening to news segments, and viewing  “YouTubers” making their way through the piles of information disseminated each day. A good deal of what I read and hear is nonsense based on deliberate lies, obvious collusion aimed at promoting misinformation, and an incredible misunderstanding of our rule of law. It is mind-boggling.

There is an evil that is flourishing in the World. To me it seems senseless, illogical, and in all accounts averse to the betterment of man. Indeed, whatever sinister entity, persons, or organizations that are behind what I see unfolding is far darker than the human mind can imagine.

Last year, cities around our nation were looted and burned while politicians and media promoted acts of violence. Rioters, thieves, and even murderers were given a pass. But, when it came to those who defended themselves and their property, those poor victims were made to be examples in a system that has all the earmarks of a 1930’s mental institution.

The courts and the legal profession have not helped in any manner. I read opinions from judges presiding over cases brought by attorneys who should be peddling on the streets instead of writing complaints that only promote bad case law. I am not sure what they are teaching law students, but I am certain that it has nothing to do with our Constitution and law.

Law is either law, or it is a worthless endeavor to promote confusion, and ultimately the demise of the nation. We cannot count on attorney’s who are going into court and presenting feelings, or statistics instead of actual, factual, constitutional laws. When it comes to our unalienable rights and our unique form of government, there is no room for statistical data, governmental interests, or supposed duties that the State has unlawfully seized from the people. All that nonsense conflicts with our rights as the State can always make the argument that it has some interest in keeping the people safe. The concept of a governmental entity ensuring safety is ridiculous on its face. We need only look at the long record of infringement, and the conduct of political hacks persecuting those who do not align with a certain mindset. Take a look at the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Even the New York Times wrote that it was an obvious case of self-defense. Yet, young Mr. Rittenhouse is facing the possibility of life in prison.

In the last several years I have witnessed, what to me, is an obvious attempt to overturn any sense of right and wrong for the purpose of destroying this country. There are those who will stop at nothing to convert this to a communist regime wherein the few have ultimate control over the vast majority. Open borders that allow thousands of illegals in to add to voter rolls. What I see as obvious fraud in our elections. When I say obvious, I am talking about state officials that violated the Constitution. Mark Levin pointed to four states that committed an evident fraud.

Sadly, there will always be those who adhere to such treachery by enforcing the dictates of despots against an unarmed and impotent populace. It has happened too many times throughout history to be denied. It happened in our courts, and it continues to take place unabated.

The nation was thrown into turmoil over the death of a felon who imbibed a lethal dosage of fentanyl. George Floyd was a despicable human being. His death caused more turmoil than I have seen in decades. There was no rhyme or reason to it, other than a means by which the country could be brought to the verge of total chaos.

Common sense went out the windows shattered by looters. During this, a jury convicted a police officer of murder because they were admittedly fearful that if they didn’t the rioters would show up to seek vengeance. It is another step towards a totalitarian state wherein we have “public officials” playing on the fears of the individual.

The individual can do little to nothing to save him or herself from a mob of crazed people who are given free rein to promote fear, and the destruction of sanity. When the mob comes for you, there might be the police, but ultimately, because of our ignorance of law, only ourselves to fight off the hordes of criminals who know that they will more than likely be exonerated for creating mayhem.

Amid the turmoil and violence, there were many calling for dismantling of police departments. In the same breath, those seeking a disarmed populous will make the arguments that the police are there to protect you. Now, speaking out of the other side of their mouth, they want to defund the police labeling the agencies as “systemically racist”.

The individual is on his own trying to defend himself, his family, and property. It should be obvious, even to the most unobservant, that law enforcement cannot be everywhere all the time. I am certain that when the Constitution was written, this simple observance of reality was in the minds of those who framed the law. More importantly, those who debated the attributes of the document had to be given to doubt whether or not future generations would uphold the tenets and keep control over public officials.

The conduct of Twentieth and Twenty First Century Americans tells me that any fears the Founders could have imagined surround us today like an ever growing cancer seeking to destroy the body of the people. For every rule the Founders designed to thwart tyranny, we have allowed One Hundred to be created out of whole-cloth to destroy liberty.

Our nation stands on the foundation of a sovereign people. We have abandoned any semblance of that structure. We argue assiduously against our own freedom and our right to hold public officials accountable by indicting, arresting, and prosecuting those who have no constitutional immunity.

Here we are today, proving that we have lost touch with our sovereignty, common sense, and perhaps even reality.

I am sure that most of you are familiar with the CDC’s jocular attempt to prepare us for emergencies when they warned of us what to do during a “Zombie Apocalypse”. Were they truly being facetious, or were they planting a subliminal message to create fear and panic?

Consider that Zombie is a colloquial term for those who are incapable of independent thought, or unable to act without reason and logic. Then consider the supposed COVID pandemic when the survival rate across all age groups averages to about 0.9975%, or a death rate of 0.0025%. Can we even trust those numbers? None-the-less, they are the numbers that are supposed to be “official”, and they are so insignificant that the amount of distress experienced should have been negligible.

Yet we have allowed governments around the world to enforce lockdowns and run the economic structure into the ground. On a more sinister note, the majority has fallen for an injection demand for an almost non-existent threat to humanity. Then consider the fact that there have been many doctors, and even those within the pharmaceutical industry that have warned that the substance we are being injected with is not actually a vaccine but something that can deplete our immune system and may have serious long term effects. Then also consider that those being injected are susceptible to another variant, and that more injections are being demanded. And then, consider the ingredients such as graphene.

Where was the logic and reason for the lockdowns? Where is the logic and reason of those who rushed to get the injection? Should we be asking, are those blindly following actually zombies that may turn on us in a few months or years?

It goes beyond the virus. The Biden administration made a colossal mistake in the plan to exit Afghanistan. We left behind approximately Eighty-Five Billion dollars’ worth of war making equipment. In doing so we gave the Taliban the tools to carry-on in their endeavor to promote their goals while telling the American people that they are going to be disarmed whether they like it or not.

I am somewhat confused, not by the motives and agenda of the progressives and leftists, but by what the American people think and see. Are they thinking at all, or is their mind a blank space that refuses to learn from history and correlate to what is taking place right in front of them?

At the beginning of this article the question was asked “Who knows what evils lurks in the hearts of men?”. We then queried as to whether much of the public were zombies. Should we be asking if people have become evil zombies with the uncontrollable urge to destroy the lives of, not only thinking people, but that of their children?

I am convinced of the evil zombie equation. Nothing adds up when you consider the whole picture. Evil comes in many forms. The most dangerous of which are those who believe that they are doing some good. They promote what they consider to be solutions to problems, when in fact they are misleading people with information that ignores our rule of law and substantiate no fundamental cure.

Are there zombies amongst us? As zombies feed on brains, I am certain that a large portion of the population satisfies itself by feeding on our liberty, prosperity, and our individualism. They love to feast on the meat of our freedom to survive their own ignorance, ambivalence, and weakness. For the most part we wish to be left alone, and in that mode we are willing to sacrifice and devour the essence of those who strive to maintain a free society.

Understanding the dichotomy of subject matter presented here might be summarized by considering the words of John Stuart Mills; “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

We cannot depend on the fictional “Shadow” who fights evil to resolve the woes that we are subject to on what seems to be a daily basis. The dark and mysterious Lamont Cranston is the invention of a vivid imagination, but the “deep state”, the bureaucracy, and the myrmidons that do the work of those who seek to control our lives are a very real problem. Add those “public officials” with the zombies who follow along, or enforce unlawful acts by the state, and we are looking at a serious threat to our Republic.

Brain eating zombie’s may not be real, but those who are mind-controlled “useful idiots” can and may very well eat out your freedom. The time for me to say this has long passed. We must be prepared to survive the worst of situations because we are unwilling to stave off the zombie’s by using that which was enumerated within our Constitution.
