Restore the Republic

Is This The Final Stage Of The Overthrow?

At a time when people were born to serve kings, American colonists were clashing with British troops, and Thomas Jefferson penned a unique doctrine on the relationship between “Governments instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”.

American Militia, “civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion”, mustered on Lexington Green, and engaged British regulars all the way back to Boston.

From the time the Declaration of Independence was made the first law of a new nation, until hostilities ended in 1783, the People fought a grueling and costly war for independence, not only from Britain, but also from the old collective of monarchs.

A new nation, “conceived in liberty”, was about to form under a concept that was unique to all the peoples of the world; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”

The concept of rights is not something unique to our form of government, nor was it a novel idea at the time of the revolution. When Henry I ascended the throne in 1100 A.D., he set to doctrine the Charter of Liberties of King Henry I.

More than one hundred years later, on June 15, 1215, King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta to avert a Civil War when confronted by a host of rebellious barons. Ten weeks later, Pope Innocent III nullified the agreement, and the English countryside was plunged into war.

The history of rights acknowledged, and then revoked is long, and often painted with “the blood of patriots, and tyrants”. While the words in the Declaration may ring as a statement of liberty from birth to death, it is a concept that must be enforced by men and women of courage and fortitude. They must be true to their neighbors, and they must be true in their heart that, above all, freedom is our province, and our responsibility.

Jefferson did not write, nor did the signers of the Declaration recognize “that all men are created equal” and they remain so for the rest of their lives. The concept of equality is a notion of status across a spectrum of laws, abilities, consciousness, determination, and a love of liberty. Obviously, the doctrine laid out in the Declaration can only work when the People understand that freedom does not come lightly. It comes at the cost of diligence and duty. It must be ever protected from the tyrant, the ignorant, the ambivalent, the foolish, and the “useful idiots” that help to destroy a nation.

We are amid, what has been labeled, a pandemic; “an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population.” Whether or not COVID-19 lives up to its label becomes more and more questionable by the day, we are nonetheless acting as if it has the blessings of the Grim Reaper. We have been forced to shelter in place. Schools are closed, only businesses that have been deemed necessary are open, social gatherings of any type are considered inappropriate, and hoarding has become an issue. Many essentials have become scarce. Chicken is often missing from stores, the price of eggs has doubled, milk products will be next as I have noticed scarcity of some brands. Canned goods are in short supply, and prices have risen. I can see the price of pork products rising as Smithfield has closed three plants, and Tyson recently closed a plant.

Political bantering, and a lack of information has made the situation worse. By this time, every year we could have thousands of deaths from some flu in this nation alone. I have not heard anything at all about a flu problem this year, and certainly the numbers from this dreaded COVID-19 don’t reflect any greater stress on society if we actually count those who died because of the virus, but not with the virus.

I have heard different stories from different doctors. A few, the high profile type that the media loves to use to sell an agenda, claim that “the sky is falling”. Others are saying the opposite, but you will not see them on the mainstream media. Recently, I’ve watched YouTube video’s featuring dissenting views by those who call out Dr. Fauci for being a fraud, a tool of big pharma, and essentially a deep- stater.

Once again, with the help of a dishonest and despicable media, we, the common folk, are in the dark as to what is real, and what is fiction. How are we to overcome when we are given only some facts, and half-truths? More importantly, how are we to survive when we allow government to command us into intolerable positions.

Recently, there have been protests against the lockdown. With typical derision, many in governmental positions, and their tools in the media, these protests have been mocked for one reason or another.

There is nothing to say about the propaganda spewed out by the leftists and the corporate media bent on selling us down the path to socialism other than what more would we expect. What I would focus on is the incredible ignorance regarding protests, and civil disobedience.

Once again I must point to the fact that the Declaration of Independence lays out the relationship between “governments … instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”, wherein all power stems from the People. Later, after a long and arduous rebellion, the Founders proclaimed that “We the People *** establish Justice *** and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” and set down the rule of Law under the U.S. Constitution.

The Framers did not simply make lame proclamations to be interpreted to suit public officials, but rather recognized, and institutionalized, the fact that the one true force for liberty and freedom could only be the body of the People exercising the power written into the Constitution. A power so distinct that it was accompanied by statutes defining its organization, armament, and discipline. A power so well established as to have it roots dating back to the beginning of English common law.

It is the epitome of power as it exists by the fact of universal enrollment for all able-bodied men 18 – 45, organized as a body with the ultimate authority “to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions”.

Article I, § 8, Cls. 15 & 16 enumerate what should be obvious to even those with limited mental capacity. Those two clauses define power that cannot be usurped by any act of a public official, or any branch of government. The two clauses accomplish crucial provisions that place sovereignty in the hands of the People, prevent the creation of any agency other than a defined part of “the Militia of the several States”, which thereby protects all our rights.

Confusion, misinformation, and violations of the rule of law abound in this COVID-19 pandemic. It is perfect for instituting government control over every aspect of our lives. We receive instruction from on high telling us what we can or cannot do. It is the cover that every would-be tyrant dreams of, and in that light, we have certainly seen those who have taken every advantage.

But, despite the claims of conspiracy theory by blue state politicians and their accomplices in the media, one glaring fact has come from this outbreak. We are dependent on an enemy that seeks to dominate our country and pull it under the umbrella of communism.

The Chinese control our pharmaceutical, technological, manufacturing, and food industries. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the largest producer of pork products, Smithfield, is owned by the Chinese. In fact, we have allowed the Chinese to buy strategic ports, and land right here in America. It should also come as no surprise that the Clinton administration allowed sensitive technologies to be sold to the Chinese.

Couple all of the questionable, and certainly illegal acts of our government, with the fact that we do not have the manufacturing facilities necessary to engage in any war that is certain to take an enormous toll on equipment within the first few weeks. How would we replace vital pieces of equipment that we have outsourced, and who, with the rank of general or admiral would allow such treachery?

Put that all together with the obsession of leftists in this nation with the disarmament of the public, and an obvious conspiracy, be it wittingly or otherwise on the part of some, comes to light.

The Chinese have had a one child policy for decades in order to stem the growth of their population. With forced abortions came a prejudice to end the female fetus and keep the male. That produced a certain outcome that should be frightening to anyone with a background in, or knowledge of historical fact.

The Chinese have created an imbalance in nature. Throughout the history of this Earth, the female population has always surpassed that of the male population. At some points, the ratio was quite high, and not that far in the distant past. During the 1970’s, the Australian government promoted a program to entice males to come and settle with the guarantee of a job, and the inducement of meeting some extremely attractive women. At that time females outnumbered males by a ratio of 7 to 1. A nation could certainly survive and prosper under that condition, but there would be many unhappy women competing for few men.

With China’s one child policy, they have created an extremely dangerous condition that may lead, and has in the past, to open warfare. The Chinese can muster an army of over Thirty Million men more than willing to invade any nation in the hope of claiming a female partner. The Chinese have mitigated part of that by expanding into both third world, and industrialized nations where Chinese men could find a bride. It is certainly most efficacious in third world countries where women would understand that, for themselves and any children, they might have a much better life marrying a man with financial potential beyond that of the local population.

And the tell all of the global agenda of communism, and the suppression of all rights comes from the fact that Chinese State Media Demands That U.S. Citizens Be Disarmed.

Even with the size of the military that the Chinese could muster, they would have to contend with several issues.

  1. Support of an army is critical, and China is thousands of miles from the U.S.. They have mitigated some of this by establishing ports, and land for supply basis.
  2. Transportation over such a long distance would leave Chinese support vessels and plains open to devastating losses. This has been mitigated to some extend by our governments supply of military technology to the Chinese.
  3. An invasion of such magnitude would lead to considerable loss of infrastructure that would require significant effort to reconstruct.
  4. Once here, the Chinese military would have to contend with an armed populace, and even if we consider historical fact that most citizens will simply lay down, there will be a contingent that will not. Of course the U.S. government is attempting to mitigate this by disarming its population and attempting to ban “weapons of war”.
  5. To their South Western border lies India, a nation with a population about the same size as China. The two countries have engaged in border conflicts for decades. India might take advantage of a large scale move by the Chinese.
  6. Russia, and some of the European nations might counterattack China when it senses a weakness.

I am sure that I could come up with other issues, but I imagine that such an attack by China has been war gamed to death by military strategists around the globe. I am simply putting into perspective what I see as part of the action taken by both governments. I would be amazed if pentagon officials had not sat down with the president, the Speaker of the House, and other top public officials to, at least, warn of the dangerous actions in which we have participated over the years.

Am I off the track? Have I missed the mark? Is an invasion of America unfeasible, one way or the other?

Consider the condition of America as I previously laid out in relation to our self-destruction by the elimination of our manufacturing sector. During WWII we produced ships, planes, arms, and ammunition at staggering levels. Just in the year 1943, the U.S. built 94,000 aircraft. Total output for the war was over 300,000. We built over 1,200 capital ships such as battleships, cruises, and destroyers. We built thousands more support vessels. The output was on a scale that was well beyond what the Axis could produce.

During WWII, there was a segment of the population that was opposed to our effort, and that is understandable. No one wants war, but when it came the vast majority chipped in, one way or another.

Today, we face a far greater enemy in the form of subversives, traitors, and leftists. Communists have taken hold of a major party, the media, and our education system. In my mind, the overthrow of America is on the table. The COVID-19 lockdown has simply made it clear to me that the “game is afoot”, and we sleep while the wheels of despotism turn at every opportunity.
