The Cult of the Flag

pa·tri·ot·ism

   [pey-tree-uh-tiz-uhm] noun

devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.

Beware, Americans, of becoming a member of the Cult of the Flag.

The US government has brainwashed the ignorant of America to justify all manner of atrocities by veiling those sins in a cloak of "patriotism".  People have not only stood by while we have committed grievous acts, they have cheered resoundingly as citizens of other countries are devastated and killed by us.  Leaders have manipulated the masses through patriot propaganda to support a corrupt government, validate unfair foreign policy and agree to the mistreatment of countless citizens of our own country.

• 1947: After the attack on Pearl Harbor, over 110,00 innocent Americans of Japanese descent were rounded up and placed in internment camps.  62% of those people were American citizens, but the vile act was justified in Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt because "the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national  defense material, national defense premises, and national defense utilities."  Few Americans protested, because they had been convinced that it was necessary to keep the country safe from traitors and espionage.
• 1950:  Senator Joseph McCarthy, an anti-Communist zealot, spent his 10 year career as a senator accusing innocent Americans of Communist ties.  Despite the fact that the cases were unproven, careers were destroyed, people were blacklist and families were shattered.  One vocal opponent, Senator Millard Tydings, was said to have committed "the most brazen whitewash of treasonable conspiracy in our history."
• 2001:  After the 9/11 attacks, the war drums began to pound furiously.  According to President George Bush, "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."  It didn't matter that this war would kill, to date, nearly 1.5 million men, women and children.  All good patriots had to support the war, support our troops and support our blood-thirsty quest for control over the Middle East's oil supply  vengeance.  Flags waved furiously across the United States, with every flat surface belonging to good Americans plastered with a red-white-and-blue decal.
• Vietnam, Korea, Grenada, Lebanon, Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Cuba, South America:  pick a destination on the globe and we've been told that it is our civic duty as Americans to blow it up.
• The Present: Over the past 10 years many laws have been passed that negate freedom in the name of Americanism.  The unPatriot Act, the establishment of the TSA, the NDAA, the American Expatriation Act, the anti-protest Trespass Bill - all of these have combined to make a mockery of the Constitutional principles that our country was founded on.  They've been presented in a way that an unquestioning general populace can feel snug and secure against domestic and foreign threats, when in fact the real threat to America is within the buildings of Washington DC.

Loving one's country doesn't mean blindly accepting the actions of the leaders.  When the leaders of the country abandon the Constitution, human conscience and morality, the act of a true Patriot is to question that and question it loudly.

The US government knows that the Cult of the Flag is the most powerful tool in the brainwashing arsenal.  By propagandizing through the special-interest-owned media, they intend to convince every American that it is his or her patriotic duty to support the President, right or wrong.  They intend to distribute the red-white-and-blue Kool-aid to persuade us to ignore our values and morals and blindly wave the flag.

Our patriotic duty is not to the government.  The act of a patriot is to question the acts of the government and to not be diverted from that call for accountability by a war-mongering, go-team rhetoric.  Our duty is to think critically and dissent when necessary.  You can love your country without loving your government.  We must be willing to defend our country from within, and that means risking discomfort, persecution and potentially, our lives.

BE A REAL PATRIOT.

LEARN.

QUESTION.

SPEAK UP.

CAMPAIGN.

MAKE A SCENE.

RESIST.

What Does It Mean When They Don't Try to Hide the Election Fraud?

Apparently, election fraud is only an outrage when it happens in other countries.

In 1985, the US invaded Panama in outrage over a fixed election in favor of Noriega.

Bush threatened Egypt with sanctions over Election Fraud in 2005.

In 2009, the US and NATO reached a consensus to sanction the rigged elections in Afghanistan.

Thousands of citizens took to the streets in Russia in protest of rigged elections in 2011.  The European Parliament  threatened financial sanctions over that same fraudulent election.

However, when this happens in the United States, no one bats an eye.

The rampant fraud in the 2012 GOP primary has all but escaped mention by the media.   Statements by Dr. Ron Paul's campaign, the primary target of the crime,  go unpublished with the exception of alternative media sites.  Small local newspapers carry stories about hundreds of dead people casting votes, but the large media conglomerates don't pick them up. 

Other countries have turned a blind eye - nobody is sending in troops to the United States to keep things honest.  No economic sanctions have been threatened.

There are no large mobs taking to the streets in irate protest. Paul supporters who protest or comment are marginalized by the media and all claims of fraudulence are written off as "sour grapes."

Where is our revolution?
Where is our outrage?
How can intelligent men and women watch this happen and do nothing about it?

Every single state that has participated thus far in the Republican primary has had accusations of impropriety, ranging from miscounts, to dead voters, to secret meetings and lost votes.  Not one voting has been unquestioned.

And yet, the American people have done nothing but sit idly by in their Lazyboys, flipping the channel to something less mentally taxing, like Jersey Shore.

Dr. Paul has intrepidly persevered through what must be terrible frustration.  He isn't giving up despite the fact that he has been cheated in EVERY SINGLE STATE.  He has continued on his mission despite being either ignored or ridiculed by the mainstream media.  His supporters are loud and active and by all rights, his grass roots campaign should be the one in the lead.

Even more alarmingly, little effort is being taken to hide the criminal activity in this election.  What does it mean when the leaders of our society blatantly ignore the laws our country was built on?  When democratic elections are so clearly and obviously rigged?  When election fraud is utterly ignored by the "justice" system?

It means that our opinion no longer matters.  It means that We, the People, have ceased to be a threat in the eyes of the Powers That Be.   Our power to govern ourselves and choose our leaders has been eliminated.  We are being condescendingly humored by the "pretend election" that is going on in an America that has already been quietly overthrown.

The unbelievable apathy of the American citizens regarding this criminal behaviour leaves us, as citizens, even more at fault than the perpetrators of the crimes.  We are allowing it to happen.

If you do not say "NO" you are giving tacit permission for the behavior.  You are allowing this fraud to continue.  You are allowing this sham of an electoral process to eliminate your voice. 

It's late in the game, readers, but it is not too late to resist this.  Don't let the efforts and perseverance of the Paul campaign go to waste.  Don't allow your constitutional rights as an American citizen to be removed while you stand idly by and ignore the debacle. We ARE the last line of opposition to the loss of our freedom!

Say no, and say no loudly, to this fraudulent election. 

Take action. 

RESIST.

Show the criminals in charge that they have dangerously underestimated the American people. 

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

COWARDS NEED NOT APPLY to the MONTANA STATE SENATE

 Please take the time to add your own message to this post and forward it as a constituent to your local government officials.  A Patriot Activist, my friend NinaO has taken this post and sent it to his Montana senator, Bruce Tutvedt, as a call to action against the trampling of the Constitution and the oppression of the American people.  You can find his message to the Senator at the end of the post.

They Will Come for You and Your Family



This excellent post comes from the blog TL in Exile.  You can find it HERE

It is not the people who wish for their lives to come to an end. It is not the wish of the people to see their comfort disturbed, to be forced out into the streets to try desperately to save those things of value to a great nation. There would be nothing better in life than to recline with a laptop and browse the Internet with nothing on one's mind but leisure and entertainment. For those without conscience, this is still possible...for now. But no level of disengagement will survive the insatiable demand of government for control.

One might think themselves safe with their Sunday church service, bible class, flat screen tv, video games, porn and progressive lifestyle. Just Wait. They will come for you, when they are finished with us.

Liberty is the item on the agenda, it is the one thing the government cannot abide. Liberty is the limitation of power, it is the forestalling of their dream of control.

Those in government today do not have the will of their convictions, they do not have the ability to stand before the withering gaze of others and do what is right. They do not stand for the Constitution they have sworn to defend. They are incapable of principle. If so, where are they?

Give us allies among the police, the military, we will take them, we will work with them to secure our rights, everyone's rights. Liberty is not worth dying for if it is mine alone that I seek. It is insane to die for one's own liberty, which must be forfeit at the dying. Don't you see? Liberty is only worth dying for if it benefits others. Does an officer of the law venture out into the night with a sidearm to confront criminals in order to stay safe? Why not stay in the squad car? Do you expect us to act any differently when we see corruption and criminals everywhere in government?

Who will do it? Who will protect the people from government? Is it the ten-year veteran police officer owing allegiance to the government department, his/her union, his/her family? Will they be the ones to step out of line and acknowledge the un-Constitutional nature of their duties? We have been waiting.

Where do these liberty groups come from? What purpose does the Tea Party serve? One cannot exist in America today and not see the angst of the people in all these different manifestations. What do they ask? Do these groups ask for power or prestige? Do they seek rights from others? No, they ask only for their rights to be acknowledged and respected and for government to cease violations of those rights so clearly identified in the Bill of Rights. No, it is not muddied and unclear, these rights are not vague and in need of clarification by the government, they are plain and in simple language so that all can see their purpose.

Phrases such as "Congress shall make no law" are not difficult to understand, yet it has made such laws and has been supported by the government justices. No surprise. The few things government is supposed to do, it refuses to do. It does not declare war anymore; it does not defend the borders anymore; it does not protect the votes of citizens anymore. It does sell guns to Mexican cartels who then turn around and violate the borders of the nation and kill American citizens. All for a political gamble to further restrict the Second Amendment.

Government cannot tolerate the rights of the people, because it limits their ability to exert control. Nothing else. Look no further than that. Rights of search and seizure are there for a reason, to keep the government out of the people's lives, out of their papers, out of their private matters, yet it is violated at the drop of a hat in order to exert control. There are ways to obtain evidence of a crime without making criminals of everyone to allow random inspection. Upon oath and describing the particular things to be searched for and seized. That's not a tough hill to climb where crimes have been committed and a suspect is identified.

On down the line it goes, from Religious freedom, freedom of the press, the right to possess a weapon, the right to be free from random searches and seizures, the right to confront one's witnesses against them, all of these things are under assault because it makes it easier for the government to exert control.

We in the liberty movement have seen the progression over the span of our lives. We have watched as every crisis takes from us another liberty, violates another right. The government continues to create enemies from which the people need to be safe, like Anti-Government Extremists. We are not extreme, we are righteously against a corrupt and criminal government that has refused its limitations. We can read the Bill of Rights and know when it is government itself that is in violation of the law.

Had we seen a stopping point, a barrier that the government will not cross our purpose would cease. We might then become advocates of certain violations, but we would be able to legally walk back these excesses within a justice system that could acknowledge excess. Were the Supreme Court to act as defenders of the Constitution rather than creators of a "civil society" we could place our fates in their hands.

Nothing would be better than to know that we were safe from the abuses of government via some benefactor who would have the power to take up our case and let justice prevail. But, it is the power of government itself that precludes this possibility. It has corrupted all avenues of justice within its structure.

So, we have been led to this place, this desperation by the actions of the government seeking power over us. The government that seeks to be free of the bondage placed on it by the Constitution. It does so with the complicity of those sworn to defend the Constitution, who are also paid by the government and supported in retirement by the government. Who are we to appeal to?

Even a house cat is dangerous when left no avenue of escape and fears for its life. The government has gotten its wish, it has bound us up, left us nowhere to seek redress, no one to appeal to for help...except each other. It is with no pleasure that we take the next step.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Media Propagandizes a "New Terror Threat": Beware of Sovereign Citizens

There's a new boogie man in town, according to the mainstream media.  They are dutifully following the lead of the FBI and the Gestapo DHS in characterizing "Sovereign Citizens" as the newest terrorist threat to the well-being of the United States.

What exactly is a Sovereign Citizen?  According to the Sovereign Education and Defense Ministry it is merely a person who has chosen to govern themselves in accordance to God's laws or "natural laws".

Watch this Flash Video to see the concept of Sovereign Citizenship laid out in the simplest possible form.

All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.

~ The Declaration of Independence ~

Most SCs are dedicated to the legal, non-violent rejection of the United States government as a ruling authority.  They believe that their rights as individuals are guaranteed by God, the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution.  You will far more often find the SCs in court, legally fighting against the oppression of the current regime and burying them in a blizzard of paperwork, than you will find them with guns blazing against the "authorities."

Despite their generally peaceful ways, they are being vilified by the government, cast in the role of "domestic terrorists" simply because they strongly disagree with the way things are being run.  They disagree with what they consider illegal taxation, the definition of rights vs. privileges, and government intrusion on family and faith.

A government that does not protect PRIVATE RIGHTS is a de facto government.

(de facto:  existing, but not legally ordained)

The current Regime, predictably,  seems to strongly oppose this classification as a de facto governement and is making it's opposition known to the SC's through a media propaganda attack of immense proportions.  The various government agencies have deemed them terrorists for having the audacity to disagree and resist the authority of the Regime.

The DHS released an article last May about the threat to the United States from the SCs.

... many sovereign citizens do not pay their taxes. They hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police officers. They clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits and liens against public officials to harass them. They also use fake money orders, personal checks, and the like at government agencies, banks, and businesses.  In addition ... sovereign citizens:

• Commit murder and physical assault
• Threaten judges, law enforcement professionals, and government personnel
• Impersonate police officers and diplomats
• Use fake currency, passports, license plates, and driver’s licenses
• Engineer various white-collar scams, including mortgage fraud and so-called “redemption schemes"

In September, the FBI released a bulletin from their counter-terrorism division containing this statement:


The sovereign-citizen threat likely will grow as the nationwide movement is fueled by the Internet, the economic downturn, and seminars held across the country that spread their ideology and show people how they can tap into funds and eliminate debt through fraudulent methods. As sovereign citizens’ numbers grow, so do the chances of contact with law enforcement and, thus, the risks that incidents will end in violence. Law enforcement and judicial officials must understand the sovereign-citizen movement, be able to identify indicators, and know how to protect themselves from the group’s threatening tactics.

 The mainstream media has obediently jumped on the bandwagon, going to air and print with salacious stories about SCs gone bad.  The owners of the mainstream media, particular the government and "elite" special interest groups, have guided the biased coverage in accordance with a statement by the Anti-Defamation League (which by it's own description is a special interest group "founded in 1913 "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people ")

The ADL website defines the Sovereign Citizens movement as a "hate group":

The "sovereign citizen" movement is a loosely organized collection of groups and individuals who have adopted a right-wing anarchist ideology originating in the theories of a group called the Posse Comitatus in the 1970s. Its adherents believe that virtually all existing government in the United States is illegitimate and they seek to "restore" an idealized, minimalist government that never actually existed. To this end, sovereign citizens wage war against the government and other forms of authority using "paper terrorism" harassment and intimidation tactics, and occasionally resorting to violence.

This view has negatively colored any coverage of actions by the SC movement.  The media has aired multiple reports of violent interactions and illegal behaviors, despite the fact that violence, fraud and theft go completely against the principles of  Sovereign Citizenship.

CBS's 60 Minutes: A Look at the "Sovereign Citizen" Movement

Huffington Post:  Sovereign Citizens are "Extremists" Watched by the FBI

Memphis Commercial Appeal:  Sovereign Nation: Deadly Clash in West Memphis

MSNBC:  Sovereign Citizens: The New Counter Culture

As with any threat to the Regime, the government and all of it's cronies in the media are quick to demonize all who disagree.

The recent media blast against the Sovereign Citizen's movement should serve to underline the fact that the movement is indeed a legitimate argument against the Regime.

And thus, like all measures of resistance, it must be vilified, marginalized and silenced.

Famous Last Words

For me to analyze the history of violent silencing of rebellion against the Powers That Be would be redundant. 

The Establishment has the power and intends to keep it by any means necessary.

The following information speaks for itself.


“Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”
~ Andrew Breitbart, who died hours before releasing damning video evidence about President Obama.


"There exists in this country a plot to enslave every man woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." 

~  President John F. Kennedy - 7 days before he was assassinated.

"We have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence."

~ Dr. Martin Luther King - the night before he was assassinated

Are we like the God of the Old Testament, that we in Washington can decide which cities, towns, and hamlets in Vietnam will be destroyed? Do we have to accept that? I don't think we do. I think we can do something about it.

~ Robert Kennedy, in his last speech to the US Senate before he was assassinated

When you begin to start thinking for yourself, you frighten them, and they try and block your getting to the public, for fear that if the public listens to you, then the public won't listen to them anymore.

~ Malcolm X, the day after an attempted firebomb assassination and 7 days before he was successfully assassinated


The death toll continues with ordinary people who had the extraordinary courage to speak out...

Nine everyday people who spoke out about the Gulf Oil Spill:  Chitra Chaunhan, Dr. Thomas B. Manton, Gregory Stone, John P. Wheeler III, James Patrick Black, Dr. Geoffrey Gardner, Roger Grooters, Senator Ted Stevens, Matthew Simmons, Joseph Morrisey, and Tucker Mendoza

Dr. David Graham, 9/11 whistleblower

Christopher Story, journalist covering President George Bush's financial terrorism

Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., a witness for the prosecution in the passport case against President Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain

There are many, many more...there is no disrespect intended towards those whose names are not mentioned.  Please feel free to honor them in the comments below.

Finally, one more quote from Malcolm X, which is especially relevant to the topic....

Brothers and sisters, if you and I would just realize that once we learn to talk the language that they understand, they will then get the point. You can't ever reach a man if you don't speak his language. If a man speaks the language of brute force, you can't come to him with peace. Why, good night! He'll break you in two, as he has been doing all along. If a man speaks French, you can't speak to him in German. If he speaks Swahili, you can't communicate with him in Chinese. You have to find out what does this man speak. And once you know his language, learn how to speak his language, and he'll get the point. There'll be some dialogue, some communication, and some understanding will be developed.

It's pretty clear what language is being spoken to us.  It's time for us to communicate.  What language will you choose?

Protect Your PC on March 8th

The countdown is on for the FBI's "planned interruption" of the internet on March 8th.

The European Union Times  reports concerns by the Kremlin that this is a move by the United States government to further crack down on "dissidents".  Russian computer security experts claim to have provided the FBI with a simple fix to disable the DNSchanger Trojan without interrupting internet service, but say that the repair was rejected as the FBI proceeds with plans to make the internet go dark.

So....

On March 8th, the FBI and friends are going to be effectively going in to your computer to allegedly seek out and destroy this virus. 

If the virus is affecting your computer you will no longer be able to access the internet with that machine, lest your personal computer become the typhoid Mary of the internet.

This brings many questions to my admittedly less-than-technical mind.

Could this be a big coverup for a warrantless peek inside the computers of America?
Could this be a way to install government spyware via their own trojan - into our computers?
Could the internet going dark be a giant "reboot" to activate whatever was installed in our computers?
Could this be a way to diffuse information during a false flag event planned by our own government?
Could this be a way to limit communication as patriots are rounded up under the NDAA?

There are a few ways we can try to protect ourselves from these potential attacks on our privacy and communications.

1.)  BACK UP all of your information.  Back up your systems, print hard copies and save your files to disc or USB drive.  This will save your work and information in the event of a crash or a system wipe from outside sources.

2.)  Not only is the internet a way out - it's a way in.  Consider shutting down your home internet connection for a couple of days to protect your system during this sweep.  Turn off and unplug all devices.  Disconnect your router and/or modem.

3.)  Educate yourself on the potential of Trojan Horse Warrants and government-sanctioned cyber-snooping.

4.)  Change your settings to disable some or all cookies, which are tracking devices that websites install on your computer for "marketing" purposes.  Note that some functions of your computer will become inoperable without cookies.  Certain pages require the use of cookies to operate correctly.

5.)  Clean up your computer.  Run a defrag, clear your caches and histories, delete any temporary files and empty your recycle bins.

6.)  Install firewalls and antivirus software.  There are many of these on the market, and some are free downloads.  Find a trusted brand and install it on your computer immediately.  Turn the protection all the way up to the highest settings.  These programs will help keep out "intruders" whether they are government cyberthugs or general malicious hackers.

7.) Always log out of anything that requires registration.  Being logged in to your email, Facebook or Google accounts open a doorway.  Anything that you do on your computer can be tracked when you are logged in to any program or website that deposits a cookie.  It's the equivalent of going to the bathroom with the door open.

March 8th could be the end of the internet as we know it today or just a temporary lull in service.  Either way, using this as impetus to protect your system is a good idea.  The intrusions will continue to be more bold as time goes on and more people wake up to the threats of the current regime. 

If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav'd. This will be their great Security.

~ Samuel Adams, 1779

The Systematic Destruction of the Bill of Rights

When the United States Constitution was first drafted, some states were reluctant to ratify it.  Why?  According to a speech to Congress in 1789 by James Madison, the people demanded that the language be more specific, laying out precise guidelines to which all forthcoming laws must adhere.

I believe that the great mass of the people who opposed [the Constitution], disliked it because it did not contain effectual provision against encroachments on particular rights, and those safeguards which they have been long accustomed to have interposed between them and the magistrate who exercised the sovereign power: nor ought we to consider them safe, while a great number of our fellow citizens think these securities necessary.

So was born the Bill of Rights, a supplemental document to the blueprint for government, the Constitution.

For over 200 years, the Bill of Rights has been akin to a sacred text, largely unquestioned and relied upon for the decision-making of laws and justice.

Fast forward to 2012 - the current regime. Five articles of the Bill of Rights are under constant, sustained attack.  Madison and the other founding fathers are certainly rolling in their graves, shouting "WE WARNED YOU ABOUT THIS!!!"

1st Amendment:
guarantees the freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are seriously threatened by ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), a multinational treaty that presents itself as a ban on pirating, but is in all actuality a legal loophole to shut down any website at any time.

Freedom of assembly took a serious hit on Feb. 29 with the passing of the Federally Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act.  This bill states that protesting is illegal on restricted property, defined as " a posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area of: (1) the White House or its grounds or the Vice President’s official residence or its grounds, (2) a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting, or (3) a building or grounds so restricted due to a special event of national significance. "  So if someone "important" is present or something "significant" is occurring, you aren't allowed to protest.  Later wording in the bill informs us that it doesn't matter if we know the person is present or the event is occurring - it's just flat out illegal and trespassers and offenders will be imprisoned.

2nd Amendment
guarantees the right to bear arms

The second amendment has been suffering a series of sneak attacks, state by state.  Instead of going after the guns (because that, of course, would be unconstitutional) they are going after ammunition.  Recently the New Jersey state congress made a failed attempt to ban all handgun ammunition and some rifle ammunition.  Illinois currently has a bill on the table to add a surtax to ammunition.  Expect to see more states following suit.  Gun registries and more licensing requirements are also imminent.

4th Amendment
guarantees freedom against unreasonable search and seizure

This amendment was trashed by the un Patriot Act, passed in 2001 by Bush and extended in 2011 by Obama.  The act extended the definition of domestic terrorism, allowing search, seizure and surveillance without the formalities of a warrant.  The

5th and 6th Amendments
5th guarantees due process (habeas corpus)
6th guarantees the right to an attorney as well as the right to a speedy and public trial

According to the 5th amendment a person shall not be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law".  According to the National Defense Authorization Act that right no longer applies if the accused can be painted as a terrorist by any stroke of the brush.  An American can now be indefinitely detained without trial, the right to an attorney or actual evidence.  All that is required to implement this treasonous act is the suspicion of "belligerence".

The Bill of Rights is our protection against the government.  This document is a summation of the lessons learned by our founding fathers in our original fight for independence from an oppressive government. 

As the current regime encroaches more and more on the freedom this country was based on, we get ever-closer to the need for a Second American Revolution.  The sad thing is, this revolution is against other Americans, not some sovereign entity across the sea.  The very people who have been elected to represent us and protect our rights have turned against us, voting behind the safety of closed Congress doors to enslave us, disarm us and imprison us. 

We are called traitors, terrorists and extremists for supporting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as our basis for law.  Constitutionalism is methodically being outlawed.

However, I submit this question for your reflection:

The rule of law in the United States is the legal standard that all government decisions must be measured by applying the known legal principles of the Constitution.

If all laws must be based on the Constitution...

and our government officials

(members of Congress, the President, etc.)

are passing laws in opposition to this foundational theory...

...who are the real traitors?
