It Seems The Grass Roots Opposition To The Swamp Is Taking Hold

Let me share something I saw recently from The Tradesman on this subject;

" It seems the grass roots opposition to the swamp is taking hold despite everything the Establishment/Swamp/Deep State is trying to do to derail it. What I believe needs to happen now is for the public in every State to push for a State/People controlled Article V convention. The establishment is terrified that the people will do that and learn they are in complete control of the government when they unite together to block the self interests of the elites and special interest groups that have systematically stolen the power of the people over the Government. The establishment will do everything they can to stop the people from taking back their proper powers and turning the government back into their servant instead of their master.

The battle lines have been drawn, and now all that's necessary is for the people to keep them moving forward against the hidebound and corrupt establishment to take back what was stolen from us over the years.

 

As I see it there are three things necessary to block the special interest groups and corrupt politicians from derailing us.

1. We need to either repeal or severely modify the number one threat to our sovereignty; the 14th Amendment. It was originally created to insure the voting rights and citizenship of the Freed Slaves. However the three words "No State Shall" were the contentious words that flipped the intent of the Constitution from being the chains that reined in the power of the Federal Government into the chains the Federal Government placed on the States and the people.

2. We absolutely must repeal the 16th Amendment to reinstate financial control over Irresponsible Government spending, and choke off the technically unlimited money supply that the Federal Government seems to think is it's personal property. It will also put a limit on the ever expanding debt the Government creates with their refusal to create a budget and stick to it through always raising the debt ceiling at every turn.

3. We absolutely must repeal the 17th Amendment because the Senators were never intended to directly represent the people but were intended to represent their States exclusively as directed by their State Legislatures.  The fact they are now directly elected by the people is not now, and never was what the Founders and Framers of the Constitution meant for them to be. The people were bluffed into pushing through the 17th amendment, an amendment originated/promoted solely by Congress, as all the other amendments have been to date. This amendment gave the Senators the capability of ignoring the wishes of their respective States and promoting the agendas of their respective political parties.

All three of those amendments removed the checks and balances the Founders drew into the Constitution to prevent such an occurrence of Federal Superiority as we now have.with the Federal Government riding roughshod over the States and the People while only paying heed to the Elitist Special Interest Groups which are destroying the basic Freedoms and Liberties of the American People. I know there are other just as worthy amendments we need to put in place to restore our rightful power over the Government, and to keep SCOTUS from overruling Legislation like the Graham-Rudman-Hollings Act Congress enacted to control and force the Federal Government to balance the budget.

Excerpt from the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia; 

Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act,

 officially the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of1985, U.S. budget deficit reduction measure. The law provided for automatic spending cuts to take effect if the president and Congress failed to reach established targets; the U.S. comptroller general was given the right to order spending cuts.Because the automatic cuts were declared unconstitutional, a revised version of the act was passed in 1987; it failed to result in reduced deficits. A 1990 revision of the act changed its focus from deficit reduction to spending control.

 

What happened to the Graham-Rudman Act?

Part of the Act was declared unconstitutional in 1986. The law itself was reworded in 1987, but the Balanced Budget Act of 1990 effectively killed the law in its application. However, the original Gramm-Rudman Act sparked an initiative that did lead to somewhat balanced budgets during the latter part of the Clinton Administration. Even today, spending caps - one of the fundamental concepts of the original act are still in law today.

 

As you can see this act would have insured Fiscal Responsibility, however the SCOTUS declared this law the people of America wanted was declared Unconstitutional because there was nothing in the Amendments that authorized it. Many people say "What good does it do to make amendments since the Government ignores the Constitution any way" I'll tell you what good it does. The usual Legal Vehicle the Federal Government uses to usurp the intent of the Constitution is SCOTUS rulings, since SCOTUS is essentially part and parcel of the existing political establishment complete with the various agendas of the party in power when the Justices were appointed. 

 

The bastardization of the 14th Amendment from it's original intent into what is fueling the craziness of immigration laws today is directly the sole responsibility of SCOTUS rulings. Did you know that the original Income Tax law was declared Unconstitutional by the Then presiding SCOTUS? That ruling was almost immediately overturned by the 16th Amendment which Congress rammed through using scare tactics and there is some speculation that it was not properly ratified but simply declared ratified by then Secretary of State Knox. My point is; It has been CONGRESS proposing all the amendments, and doing so primarily for Congressional benefit instead of benefit to the people.

In my opinion it is the aforementioned pseudo dictators in Government that are the prime movers against the people taking back control. They use the very same Scare Tactics/Terrifying Rhetoric to try and dissuade the people from reestablishing their power through the Constitutional method the Founders supplied in Article V. Article V is basically the Constitutionally Legitimate and Legal way to  bloodlessly. overthrow a corrupt Government which is following it's own agenda and is not responding to the peoples wishes. The people are making themselves heard in State Elections where they are throwing out the Progressive hacks and replacing them with candidates who seem to be more in tune with mainstream America. Time will tell if these new players are what they seem to be. 

 

So, in the mean time, We The People, need to get together and construct the Constitutional bridge back to our rightful powers. That bridge can be secured only through the amendment process, and you know that Congress "WILL NOT" voluntarily cede the powers they have slowly stolen from us over the previous decades. It's up to us to decide if we want to resurrect the Actual Republic the Founders gave us, or if we want to become Sheep like subjects like we were under the King. 

 

Never Forget the FACT the powers that be want us to forget; Each State of the Union essentially is a Sovereign Nation unto itself, and that Sovereign Nation has voluntarily elected to form a Union of Sovereign States for Mutual Protection and Prosperity, as well as to secure the blessings of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for ALL of it's Citizens in perpetuity. It's now up to us, the Citizens of that Union, to secure the original intent along with the original checks and balances the Constitution was framed to protect.
