| The American Constitution For the United States |
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.
This is a three-part series in which we dissect America's decent into perfidy by
1) Briefly examining our history leading to our Constitution/Bill of Rights
2) Recent history showing the corruption which has consumed our country
3) Suggested restructuring our country to eliminate the corruption and to
Make America Great Again!
[We would put it all into one blog post but recognized our readership's
time limitations; three segments will give you time to digest the material.]
The United States was formed in stages, evolving from colonial assemblies which governed the individual colonies for England as proxies to interface with the British Crown.
Within that context, Americans formed Militias to protect their farms and towns from marauding Indians, directed by the French against the British colonies.
[Although the British Stamp Tax was eventually repealed, it remains in existence today in a US form, imposed by local, state, and federal governments which place a tax on every transaction, from groceries to real estate. Essentially, once a tax is created in America by Congress, or by local governments, it becomes a permanent burden.]
As the Colonists had supported the British in the French and Indian War, Colonial Militias had been established with the Militiamen armed with their personal weapons which they retained to defend against marauding Indians and roaming criminals. When the British authorities decided to control the Colonists by forcing them to register gun ownership, followed by attempts to force Colonists to surrender their weapons, they met with considerable resistance and angry responses.
The Battle of Lexington consisted of 700 British soldiers firing upon only 70 Minutemen; casualties were few, but the impact then was the equivalent of the arrest of the 6-January Protestors, and is expected to create Citizen Rage when the Deep State democrats attempt to arrest President Trump.
[About 2,000 British infantry soldiers arrived in Charlestown village and found themselves under sniper fire from the village. In an attempt to clear out the snipers, British troops set fire to the town and burned it to the ground.
As luck would have it, the Brits took one more poke at the American Eagle and found itself in the War of 1812, learning that the Colonial guerrilla fighters were even more deadly than Washington's Army. It seems the Brits felt entitled to interfere with American international commerce, as well as seizing US commercial and military ships and forcing the US sailors to serve aboard British ships.
The South's commercial growth was not limited solely to agriculture, but extended to manufacturing and direct international exporting based on an extensive and sophisticated railroad network connected with numerous large seaports connecting with all the Southern States. This economy was draining revenue from the North, which feared the South might secede, becoming a separate country and a formidable commercial competitor. The objective of the Civil War was not freeing slaves, but rather, to destroy the South's commercial and industrial growth - thus the systematic destruction of railroads, ports, and urban centers by the Union Army.
As the hostilities between England and France increased in Europe, the cost of that warfare there was imposed as a burden on the Colonists upon whom the British government levied a series of heavy taxes - to include the "Stamp Tax" which required a tax be paid on all printed documents (e.g., Bills of Sale from a bags of beans to real estate properties).
[Although the British Stamp Tax was eventually repealed, it remains in existence today in a US form, imposed by local, state, and federal governments which place a tax on every transaction, from groceries to real estate. Essentially, once a tax is created in America by Congress, or by local governments, it becomes a permanent burden.]
As the rift between England and the Colonies grew, based on a broadening array of increasingly burdensome taxes, and without representation of the Colonists in governance; there was no benefit to the Colonists derived from these taxes - and worse, the Crown created a legal system by which assets or property could be seized from those who fell behind in their taxes.
Exacerbating this tension was an increasing number of abusive laws, regulations, and mandates over which Colonists had no control. Gradually, the totalitarian measures increased, to include the quartering of British soldiers in the homes of Colonists, random arrests, and even summary executions of Colonists who spoke against or resisted the Crown.
[In today's Media, current Militias are tagged as "terrorists" or crazed extremists, rather than the fail-safe Military mechanism secure from federal oversight or control.]
Hostile Colonial reactions grew from subtle protests, to newspaper editorials against the Crown, to outright uprisings and battles. Colonial leadership followed resistance movements in Europe which they wished to emulate - although, eventually, they decided to create their own government, i.e., a Republic which would provide Popular Sovereignty, a concept rooted in the Peace of Westphalia of 1648
i.e., a government
- OF THE PEOPLE
- BY THE PEOPLE
- FOR THE PEOPLE
Thus was established the preliminary elements of the evolving Bill of Rights.
- First Amendment [Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, Petition]
- Second Amendment [Right to Bear Arms]
- Third Amendment [Quartering of Troops]
- Fourth Amendment [Search and Seizure]
- Fifth Amendment [Grand Jury, Double Jeopardy, Self-Incrimination, Due Process]
- [No one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."
- [No person shall be held to answer for a crime, unless on indictment of a Grand Jury]
- Sixth Amendment [In Criminal Prosecutions: ]
- Seventh Amendment [Common Law Suits - Jury Trial]
- Eighth Amendment [No Excess Bail or Fines, Cruel and Unusual Punishment]
- Ninth Amendment [Non-Enumerated Rights]
- [The Ninth Amendment supports the belief that fundamental rights exist that are not expressly enumerated in the first eight amendments, and the intent that the list of rights included there not be deemed exhaustive.]
- Tenth Amendment [Rights Reserved to States or People]
- [The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.]
- This can be interpreted that, if the Constitution did not authorize the federal government to create new departments or agencies [e.g., the FBI, CIA, ], then such creations could be ruled unconstitutional and thereby dis-established.
[If you've followed the arrests of the 6-January Protestors, browse through the Bill of Rights to see how many of their Rights were violated by the Mayor of Washington, DC, and then
-- ask yourself why our Congress did absolutely NOTHING to protect the Rights of US Citizens
and, in fact, participated in this incredible charade characterizing a Citizen Protest as a Riot
(albeit led by FBI agents and Soros-sponsored Antifa fake demonstrators)].
Notably, the January 6, 2021 Assembly of Citizens outside the Capitol building to protest an unlawful election was categorized as a "riot" by Congress and the FBI, and therefore, an Unlawful Assembly.!
Participants were rounded up and jailed, without legal counsel, without warrants, without the Right to Confront their Accusers, without Trial by Jury, and incarcerated with excessive bail and fines, and lengthy imprisonment without Due Process. Several citizens died while incarcerated.
Worse, FBI agents were documented as infiltrating the demonstrators to incite violence and create an ENTRAPMENT mechanism by which to arrest and incarcerate the protestors who turned out for the demonstration.
And Congress DID NOTHING!
[If your political representatives/senators participated in this charade,
be merciless in your criticism of them - and voting them out of office]
Think back on our Colonial history; the Colonists challenged the British Government in much the same way as American Citizens are now challenging the over-reach of the elected US federal government, which has grown from simple representation to a mammoth and abusive bureaucratic leviathan, levying increasingly large direct and indirect taxes, and establishing "Law Enforcement" and "Intelligence Agencies" as curmudgeons to bully and destroy the Rights of Citizens.
This oppressive federal bureaucracy has now become the Deep State
- the Fourth Branch of Government.
Sad to say, the original Bill of Rights has been systematically eroded through authoritarian legislation to eliminate these Rights [it's been a gradual process, but 9/11 pushed us over the edge when Bush and company created the Patriot Act to shred the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to "protect" us from faux terrorists [created by the Bush cabal to Uniate a perpetual war in the MidEast - and to capitalize on the narcotics operations there]
[And 20+ years later, we confirmed that the Bush family engineered 9/11 with Mossad to demolish the WTC [no planes, neutering NORAD, faking the plane hijacking, and launching a Cruise Missile into the Pentagon]
But, we've digressed.
The abuses by the British Government on the American Colonists were abhorrent, causing the Colonists to rebel, with many who sacrificed wealth, family, and even their lives to replace rule by the Crown with the government they created with the Constitution. The Colonists had to fight not only the British Red Coats, but also their fellow Colonists who remained loyal to the Crown, spying on their neighbors, and eventually slinking across the border to become Canadian citizens.

| Battle of Lexington |
The Battle of Lexington consisted of 700 British soldiers firing upon only 70 Minutemen; casualties were few, but the impact then was the equivalent of the arrest of the 6-January Protestors, and is expected to create Citizen Rage when the Deep State democrats attempt to arrest President Trump.
Technically, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington but the Shot Heard Round the World was fired in Concord.

| This shot began the most famous Revolution in History |
[About 2,000 British infantry soldiers arrived in Charlestown village and found themselves under sniper fire from the village. In an attempt to clear out the snipers, British troops set fire to the town and burned it to the ground.
Although the British won the Battle of Bunker Hill, it was pyrrhic victory. Their heavy losses during the battle bolstered the Colonist’s confidence and actually encouraged them to continue fighting the war. The British were still trapped inside the city but were eventually forced to leave Boston the following year in March of 1776.
Over the ensuing years, via many battles and backroom negotiations, the Colonies emerged as an independent Republic, unhampered by the British.
Or, did we?
It seems the Redcoats remained on our soil until at least 1793 - somewhat beyond the formation of our new nation. A good deal of debt was incurred in the process of establishing our Nation - and much of that debt was in British hands.
The British troops fell prey to the decisive attacks and maneuvers of General Andrew Jackson, who led the Tennessee Militia in the Battle of New Orleans in January, 1815, ending the war - but not before they torched Washington.
The fact that the British government was also fully engaged with Napoleon's army was, of course, a major factor, causing them to withdraw troops from America to fight Napoleon.
But, the war of 1812 established the status of the States' Militia as a formidable base for the US Military composed of armed Patriots ready, willing and able to mobilize instantly to challenge an invading force. .
And, this war also set the stage for the Civil War only 38 years later, the basis of which was the economy of the Southern States [i.e., States' Rights], which were gradually gaining international commercial status in direct competition with the Northern Industrial States.
[To the consternation of Liberal historians, the Civil War had little to do with slavery and almost everything to do with the South's emerging commercial growth and economic power. Thus, Southern States rebelled against onerous commercial regulations imposed by politically powerful Northern States.]
Notably, after the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, most of the freed slaves remained on the plantations as Sharecroppers and Tenant Farmers.
The South's commercial growth was not limited solely to agriculture, but extended to manufacturing and direct international exporting based on an extensive and sophisticated railroad network connected with numerous large seaports connecting with all the Southern States. This economy was draining revenue from the North, which feared the South might secede, becoming a separate country and a formidable commercial competitor. The objective of the Civil War was not freeing slaves, but rather, to destroy the South's commercial and industrial growth - thus the systematic destruction of railroads, ports, and urban centers by the Union Army.

| I'll start building The Swamp in the South |
Following the Civil War, the Southern economy was further ravaged by "Carpet-Baggers"
who swarmed into the South, taking control of political positions at all levels, looting the treasuries, and lynching former slaves who insisted on staying on the plantations of their former "masters".
Liberal historians refer to these Carpet-Baggers as "Radical Republicans"; but, to be precise, these were to become the Southern Democrats - leading to The Swamp as they gradually gained control of Congress.

As we've learned in recent years, by studying economic and financial history, it would appear that the Deep State is managed by heavily cloaked British financiers who have technically owned the US since before the Civil War debt bankrupted America.
As we debate the issue of ownership of our American Republic, whether it be the British Crown or, by the American People, we can proceed with reforming the mess we call the US government/DEEP-STATE, drain THE SWAMP, and restart our country
Boom!
Why?
