New York – -(AmmoLand.com)-

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.” ~ attributed to George Orwell.

The central theme of our multi-series set of articles on “treason,” and the principal focus of our series, is that treason, as defined in the U.S. Constitution, has been operating at the highest levels of the Federal Government since the inception of the Harris-Biden Administration, on January 20, 2021.

Our discussion here is dedicated to laying out a case for the inference of treason in the legal sense of the word, and not in a mere colloquial, hyperbolic, or pejorative sense. This treason exists in and has infected the whole of the present Administration, and this infection extends to Congress.

The Government under the Harris-Biden Administration is rogue and renegade.

Our central thesis is that the extent of and expansiveness of infection is so pervasive [the Swamp], so dominant, so permeates the Administration that an inference of treason by Government against the Nation, Constitution, and People must be drawn.

Corruption of Government extends to the Pelosi-Schumer-controlled Legislative Branch of Government, working in lockstep with the Executive Branch.

Beyond the present policy decisions indicative of treasonous intent on the part of Joe Biden and other known and unknown individuals who control and manipulate him, the Administration intends to corrupt or control or neutralize the Third Branch of Government, the Judiciary.

The Three Branches of Government have, since the creation of the Federal Government, through ratification of the Constitution, operated as discrete independent bodies—Legislative, Executive, Judicial.

Each Branch is expected to perform its tasks within the confines of the limited powers and authority ascribed to it by the dictates of the U.S. Constitution, always operating in and remaining within its own orbit, its own sphere of influence and activity, as each was meant to.

This Governmental construct was meant not to be a stopgap measure for the Federal Government, but a permanent fixture in it.

The doctrines of “Separation of Powers” and “Co-Equal Branches,” that underlie the Federal Government construct for this Nation, were designed to discourage and forestall, if not prevent, the inception of tyranny in the Federal Government.

Having successfully defeated the tyranny of one regime through armed revolt, the framers had no wish to plant the seeds of tyranny for another through the Government they would create that would, ironically, come from their own hand. So, they gave scrupulous attention to the creation of a Government that would have the best chance of avoiding the tyranny that besets a monarchy—even a Constitutional Monarchy—that England ostensibly had. They sought to create a Government for a new Nation that would best secure for themselves, and for their fellow Americans, and for generations that followed, one conceived in liberty!

The Founders determined that a Republican form of Government would best serve the interests of the American people and would be least likely to turn against the people. They constructed a Federal Government that rejected a monopoly of powers in Government.

The first three Articles of the Constitution attest to the Framers’ intention to preclude the consolidation of legislative, executive, and judicial power in one body. And they hoped that clear division of authority and power would also prevent the accumulation of power in two or all three Branches of the Government.

That structure is now crumbling.

Two Branches of Government—one controlled by the Harris-Biden Administration and the other controlled by the Pelosi-Schumer Congress—are overlapping, embracing each other; converging and merging into each other; operating in unison as a single entity.

The intention of both the present Administration and the present Neo-Marxist-led and controlled Congress is to bring the Third Branch of Government, the Judiciary, the U.S. Supreme Court, into their fold.

And their actions to date demonstrate this maneuvering to consolidate power into one super organ of Government.

If this process continues, there is nothing to stop the Government from collapsing in upon itself, centralizing power of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches in one Branch even if the trappings of separate, co-equal Branches should continue. It would all be an illusion.

The aim of the present Administration and the Democrat Party-controlled Congress in orchestrating consolidation of power is, as is self-evident, to streamline and to steamroller execution of Neo-Marxist and Neoliberal Globalist policies. Thus, the Government avoids debate among the few dissenting voices in Government that would be able to stop the operations of a rogue Government and avoid accountability to the polity that would justifiably object to and reject those policies.

Further consolidation of all the power functions of Government, if left unchecked, would degenerate into Authoritarianism and eventually to outright Totalitarianism. The Federal Government would have long ceased to operate and function in accordance with Republicanism.

At that point even the vestige of a Federal Government ruled by law and not by men would be dropped, as there would no longer be any need for it.

The citizenry would live under perpetual surveillance: thoughts and behavior strictly controlled; dissent denied; the armed citizenry, disarmed.

The Executive and Legislative Branches of Government are being drained of vitality as they lose their respective independence of function.

The Federal Government is coalescing into autocratic rule.

But whatever the form of autocracy—Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism, Fascism—it all denotes TYRANNY. This Country is treading close to that. And we may already be there.

The legacy Press fails to acknowledge this even as the public recognizes it; is forced to come to grips with it; accept the disturbing, frightening reality of it.

Tyranny is rapidly coming to fruition because—

The Harris-Biden Administration and the Pelosi-Schumer-Controlled Congress do not perceive the Constitution as an essential framework within which they are to exercise their respective powers in a lawful manner. Rather, this Government perceives the Constitution merely as an obstacle, an obstacle to be overridden by Congressional statute and/or by Executive fiat, or simply ignored.

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778

Between this and the former quote, we are very clearly instructed as to how we shall act when confronted by tyranny within our government.

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” ~ John Locke (1690)

Locke is one of my favorites. It is embarrassing we do not even have any charismatic statesmen these days. All but 2 or 3 in Congress are criminal scum.

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted… The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

Henry Bowman

Tyranny is here. It is NOT going to go away. You will not wish it away. Only force of arms and violence of action will remove it. Most who own firearms, by way of cognitive dissonance, will refuse to take up arms until it is too late. No one wants to be the poor SOB who gets killed first, so no one’s willing to lead. Militia organizations are too busy squabbling amongst themselves and poaching one another’s members to provide patriots with a well-regulated militia worthy of the name.

Pretty sure it was in the 9/11 Whitewash Commission Report. Of course the Global W Bush/Cheney admn’s huge multipurpose smokescreens exploited the carnage & deflected attn from their own gross dereliction & subversion that made 9/11 possible in the first place (preemptive quagmires in Afghan-Iraq, “Patriot” Acts, “Homeland Security”, TSA etc).

Doing nothing is one end of the spectrum. Armed revolt against the various governments (all at the same time) is the other end of the spectrum. Since you will not declare violent armed revolt and take the leadership roll, yourself … then what is the plan?

Russn8r

Will you SAY THE NAMES of people murdered with impunity by enforcers, people like Daniel Shaver, Vicki Weaver, Tony Timpa, Donald Scott, the Branch Davidians, Ashli Babbitt? If not, why not?

What the hell does just saying someone’s name do? Armed rebellion, capturing betrayers, executing marxists deepstaters would do some good. But who will lead the rebellion? You, Russ? You, Henry?
The first one to assume the leadership roll will be in the US Marshalls lock up in four hours or less.
I have a better idea. Lets think up some new, ingenious, and legal ways to resist!

Point is, Agents & Enforcers won’t even SAY THE NAMES of their victims let alone agree to be accountable for Just Following Orders, enforcing unconstitutional-unconscionable laws & decrees, flat out murdering folks like Daniel Shaver.

“Qualified” Immunity. “N-word, please!”

You think that Agents and Enforcers, whomever they might be, won’t say the names of their victims? That is just silly. Did you get that by interviewing them?

We do have two Governments, the one you see operating in plane view which we see on the MSM & C-span, and the one actually running the country, a “Shadow Government” run by Globalists.
Rest assured, we have a militia, it may not be well regulated at this time, but when the time comes, the Patriots will step forward and defend the Republic. The majority of Veterans as well as current Service members will keep their oath.

I’m holding my breath. If we haven’t had the militias back in force and effect since 1905 with all the crap in between then and now, you are hoping for something that just isn’t happening. Sure we have a bunch of candidates for militia members, but there is no organization and their is no regulation. Without the leaders of the “states” getting off their duffs and getting one going, good luck. I understand that Texas is the only state that actually has a state militia that isn’t part of the unconstitutional standing army.

Texas has what is called the Texas State Guard. Even with their structure they are usually restrain to only administrative and medical duties to avoid any liabilities.

Bzzz. Agent who cries about assumptions fabs lots of ’em. The Constitution says ZIP about the senate running a COS; nor is it implied. That’d be arrogated power. Might get away with it, might not.

Still, COS is a stupid idea. There’s no constitutional limitation or “pre-pack” option. I don’t even trust state legislators to pick delegates & stick to the Mark Levin script, let alone Senators or “Reps”. Either way bet on a runaway convention.

Just like the fixing of the Articles of Confederation took on a new life.

Although they went beyond their authority to fix the Articles of Confederation, by writing a Constitution, that new Constitution was ratified by the states that existed at that time. But I know what you mean.

And you still think the US Senate runs a COS.

Wild Bill

Participation by the state legislatures is clearly limited, by Article V, to application for a convention and ratification of amendments, afterward. Article V gives the state legislatures no other roll.

Where does the Constitution give the Senate a “roll”, per your claim, Agent?

Wild Bill

I wrote Senate, I meant Congress. My bad.

Russn8r

Still not there.

Wild Bill

Actually Article V of the Constitution says a lot about a convention to propose amendments, but it begins with the very first two words, and gets obscured with clauses thereafter.

The way that Madisen, Mason, and Hamilton wrote back then make it difficult for modern readers. See also Federalist 85

Constitutional scholars and certainly Congress have historically
understood that Congress’ authority to call a convention, under Article V, is a broad mandate to establish procedures and limits, or lack of limits, for such a convention.

Russn8r

“Certainly.” “Modern scholars.”

Wild Bill

Madisen, Hamilton, and Mason, too.

Wow…and I was just hoping to introduce the idea of a COS. Just look at all the free press it has garnered. Some of it wrong, but it’s free!

Having met and worked with a number of senators and reps, I wouldn’t trust a single one to do me the simplest of favors. They lie and perform theater for a living, and will sell out to the highest bidder, sans morals or conscience.

Wild Bill

Nor would I.

Farmer

Perhaps a little more study on your part. You are misinforming the readers. Or perhaps, by design, you wish the status quo to remain.

Wild Bill

I don’t think that I am misinforming anyone. With what do you disagree?

Farmer

Read how a COS works first, then we can discuss.

Wild Bill

There is no guidance in Article V about how an Article V convention would work. All that we know is that two thirds of the state legislatures can call for a national convention for the purpose of proposing amendments or an amendment to the Constitution. What must a call by the state legislature consist of? Who gets to say? Is there a time limit on calls for an Article V convention? So who gets to count the number of calls by state legislatures? Congress does. (Congress has ignored every state legislature call for an Article V convention thus far made.)… Read more »

Bzzzz. The Constitution does not say:

“the Senate would be in charge of issues & voting” -WB

“Congress counts the calls by state legislatures” -WB

“States only vote to have a convention” -WB

Keep dancing, Agent.

The books and articles that I relied on for the answer to Farmer are: “Constitutional Interpretation” by Craig Ducat and Harold Chase; “The Living Constitution” by J. Lieberman; “The Heritage Guide to the Constitution” by David Forte and Matthew Spalding; and “The U.S. Constitution, Explained Clause by Clause For Every American Today, by Ray Raphael;articles by Michael Paulson, Robert Natelson, and M. Rapaport; the Federalist 43 and 85; and comments by Hamilton, Madisen, and Mason.

I upvoted you even though CoS is risky for the reasons I stated. The DVs are WB & his Enforcer/Agent pals & sock pups. He is indeed misinforming on CoS. The Constitution neither says nor implies that the senate runs it. States will select delegates that need not be senators. The senate may try to take it over, may even succeed given that all but 2 SupCt “Justices” voted for the 2020 coup d’etat, but that’d be extra-constitutional.

Congress, not Senate.

Nice try. Not congress either.

Wild Bill

Ooops, I wrote Senate, but I meant Congress. My bad

Remember that there was a time in history during the 1700’s, when the Democrats and Republicans were one entity against the federalist. They pushed the feds to the side and pubs and dems then split in 1824. They have been playing us like a harp ever since. Notice that when a member quits their party, they go to join the other. Rarely, do they join a completely different party say, the green or libertarian. They’ve been in bed with each other forever but behave as mortal enemies to throw off the scent. Look it up folks. We’ve been had!

That is why I post this quite regularly. And I know it is a bit of a read but it is WHY we are in the predicament we are in right now. There is a reason that “they” don’t listen to the people anymore. There is a reason they ignore the provisions of the 2nd amendment. The reason is that the lynch pins to the Constitution were removed in 1903 & 1913. In 1903 the blatantly UNconstitional Dick Act, which was a blatant act of TREASON, eviscerated states rights with the ending of STATE militias. Those first 13 words of the… Read more »

This gets added to the list of abuses we have suffered. Americans are largely ignorant of the 1913 treason, our monetary system, fractional banking and how inflation is tax by another name. Not enough space to get into militia.

100% true.

Spot on & 100% true.

Qui Bono?

Hyperbole, paranoia, and deliberate disinformation. You’re encouraging the demonization of fellow citizens with different views, and inciting calls for violence against elected officials?!? “…get a rope!” THAT’s Treason. Enough BS already! This is NOT the American Way. This is Fascism in disguise.

Since 9-11. The towers were symbolic representations of Masonic Pillars of Neo-Roman Empire being destroyed. Just incrementally getting worst & more obvious.

Seems you forgot which sock puppet you were using again, Agent.
