1980-2022 America has been robbed, divided, misinformed, persecuted by four groups of artificially privileged people: American oligarchs, media morons and internet idiots, reactionary religious zealots, gun zealots. The Super “Citizens’ above the law [or in some cases – beneficiaries of laws they funded and wrote].
These people have been aided and sometimes created by the 2005-2022 “supreme court.” The majority 6 have been illegally appointed by a “religious Test.” This site has called the McConnell/Trump/Roberts “court” the ‘Stupid Court>”. We are not alone. The President said it “didn’t have a clue.” A minority Justice said there was a “stench” about this “court.” After the infamous “Dobbs” rough draft was leaked, a law professor said it looked like it was written by “people on a mission.” AND – these people are not alone in questioning the sanity and competence of the majority 6.
At his Senate confirmation, “justice” Alito said: “A judge can’t have any agenda. And a judge certainly doesn’t have a client>. In a November, 2020, speech [to a right-wing group}, Alito stated that freedom of speech, religion and gun rights are in danger of “second tier” constitutional status. No agenda? No client?
The majority 6 often claim to be only supporting “original intent” [1787-1791] of the Founders. Chief Justice Marshall’s critique of this fabrication: “A Constitution, from its nature, deals in generals, not in detail. Its framers cannot perceive minute distinctions which arise in the progress of the nation, and therefore confine it to the establishment of broad and general principles.” Marshall, and 1789-1999 American “history and tradition” – versus Alito.
Given the 2005-2022 PATTERN, YOU decide: has the McConnell/Trump/Roberts Stupid court “establish[ed] Justice, insure{d} domestic Tranquility.. promote[d] the general Welfare..????? Is this “court” one of competence and wisdom – following “American history and tradition” – or – does it have a reactionary agenda [an agenda that is defended by use of R-W think tank manufactured “scholarship”, with a history of twisting facts and basic principles]???????
The Founding Father’s generation envisioned a “virtuous” America; led by “virtuous” leaders [George Washington], populated by “virtuous” citizens. They understood human frailties, tried to build a system that encouraged only “virtuous” leaders who would “do the right thing” for the entire nation [Washington]. they envisioned a “virtuous” populace that informed itself and discussed issues – NOT a populace that fell victim to media morons and internet idiots.
There have always been differences of “opinion.” The 1980-2022 American problem is differences of FACTS [the “alternative facts” of certain people]. When 35% of a population is trapped in a DELIBERATELY CREATED “echo chamber” of MEDIA MORONS AND INTERNET IDIOTS making $1-5-l0-20-25-30-50 million a year to deceive them – America cannot worked as designed.
Having a “discussion” of issues is NOT, CANNOT, be an exchange of bumper-sticker slogans: “freedom,” “Second Amendment rights,” “religious freedom,” “COVID is a hoax,” “global warming is a hoax,” “election integrity,” the “stolen election,” “states rights,” “tax and spend,” “crime is out of control,” “we’re the REAL Americans,” “not in the Constitution,””defund the police,” “America is over taxed,” etc, etc until the “right” election issue is found.
What are the REAL facts??? Is any of the above bumper-sticker election slogans true??? Have YOU done any REAL research [beyond the internet] to find out if what YOU believe true really is??? What do YOU know about what the Founding Fathers’ generation REALLY said, thought, wrote, on basic principles they put into 1776-1800 federal and state constitutions??? WARNING: there is a major industry of manufacturing and TWISTING what the Founders REALLY said and created – some of which has surfaced in dubious “supreme court” 2000-2022 decisions.
Vladimir Putin’s propaganda principle is flood Russia with various stories – so after hearing contradictory “information” – Russians don’t know what the truth is. “American’ MEDIA MORONS AND INTERNET IDIOTS are masters of this. They’ve been taught by “American’ big business – which lied about tobacco, fossil fuels, global warming, pesticides, taxes and regulations, outsourcing jobs. The consequences o these BIG LIES are now destroying America and the world.
Article I, Section 9: “No title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States..” This refers to nobility of royal birth and “achievement.” America does not grant FORMAL titles of “nobility” – but DOES have “nobility.” these privileged persons are sometimes referred to as “masters of the universe.” They are the top members of the top 1% – the AMERICAN OLIGARCHS.
American OLIGARCHS run parts of the economy. they been LUCKY to become rich – making obscene amounts of $10-20-30-50-100 million per year, often EVERY YEAR, and with that, immense political power to get American rules changed to benefit themselves. Spitting in the faces of less fortunate Americans, they routinely evade taxes by ANY means possible [often using tax laws they paid for, “campaign contributions,” future job offers, P>PO. box company “headquarters,” anonymous shell companies].
for comparison; if Joe Sixpack works 18-68, makes $50,000 every year, his LIFETIME earnings are $2.5 million. If Susie Sorority works 22-68, makes $100,000 every year, her LIFETIME earnings are $4.6 million. AND – they will pay a HIGHER PERCENTAGE of their incomes than Percy Moneybags, III is likely to pay in taxes. Spit in YOUR face.
One of the founding generation’s DOCUMENTED BIG FEARS was an “ESTABLISHED CHURCH.” Major Baptist ministers protested against this; evangelicals sent protesting petitions against it; James Madison’s famous “Memorial and Remonstrance” warned against it; many major Founders were Deists [watchmaker God]; Jefferson and Paine were routinely called atheists; the First Amendment prohibits it [“Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion..”]. Is there an “alternative; meaning to the word “NO”?????????
State constitutions prohibited it [North Carolina, 1776, Articles XXXIV: not “..on any pretense whatsoever..”]; eight 1776-1800 state constitutions banned an ACTIVE MINISTER from their government!!!!!; 11 states HAD an “established church” – ALL were gone by 1830. These are all DOCUMENTED facts.
“Separation of church and state” means a church YOU don’t attend cannot tax you, cannot force you to run YOUR life by their religious dogma. PERIOD. A state or nation that allows this is not a “democracy.” It it a THEOCRACY. the founders were very aware of European religious wars. The First Amendment was designed to avoid this.
Unfortunately, a dedicated group of “fundamentalist” churches has conducted a 50-year religious war on America. Some results have been murdered doctors, violence, and 2000-2020 Stupid Court rulings.
The Second Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free people, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
So – what does “Second Amendment rights” really mean??? that a STATE will have a “well regulated Militia – meaning a STATE has a National guard unit??? The “security of a free State” means what??? That the ENTIRE population of a STATE as one political unit feels secure from threats? Threats by whom??? What force could threaten an entire STATE??? Why do people have “arms”???
So – which of the THREE parts of the Second Amendment are “Second Amendment rights? The right to join a National guard unit??? The right of “the security of a free State”???
By the rules of English grammar – the FULL, CORRECT, meaning of the Second Amendment”. MUST include ALL parts of a sentence – the Second Amendment: state Militia, state security, people with guns – combined. ANY statement of “Second Amendment rights’ which does not do that is FALSE.
By the rules of the Constitution – “Militia”. appears in Article II, Section 8: “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States…”
Article III, Section 2: “The President shall be Commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into actual Service of the United States…”
SO – what part of Articles II and III allows for ordinary people, NOT in the National guard, to have guns to “protect their family”. when NOT. “called into actual Service of the United States”?????????
SO – what part of a “well regulated Militia” entitles ordinary civilians to be “good guys with guns”??????????
SO – what part of the U.S. Constitution allows civilians to carry in public military grade weapons on streets when NOT “called into actual Service of the United /states”?????????
Further, please read both parts of the “1792 Militia Acts [May 3, 8]”. REQUIRING every free able-bodied white male, age 18-45, to be enrolled in the militia, and, within 6 months, provide himself with a “good musket” and equipment.
REQUIRED, not asked, 18-45 males to Militia service for their local Militia. Tp provide communal security.
And – for you “strict constructionists,’ you constitutional literalists; the “arms” possible to you are ONLY single-shot, muzzle loading muskets – because that’s what existed then [see “not in the Constitution”]. Modern weapons did NOT exist – so – under YOUR rules – you can’t have them!!!!!!!!!!!!
1980-2022 America has been sliding into chaos BECAUSE it has accepted the BIG LIES of what the Constitution and the people who wrote it said, and DIDN’T say; because MEDIA MORONS AND INTERNET IDIOTS have spewed forth daily BIG LIES. o YOU would get angry [at the wrong people]; because “American” OLIGARCHS have so corrupted government and the economy that ordinary people – that’s YOU – struggle to survive – while the top 1% live i previously unimagined “nobility” and wealth.
Keep listening to their lies, voting for the politicians responsible for the PLANNED destruction of the American Dream – Republicans – and you’ll get what their announced, documented, goal is: a plutocratic theocracy. A system built on daily Putin-style BIG LIES and a total PERVERSION of what the Founders wrote and intended, of what 1789-1980 America WAS. Those alive in 1947-73 America KNOW what was achieved then – they lived the Dream.
“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of
government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally staked on the experiment
entrusted to the hands of the American people.” [George Washington; first inaugural
address; April 30, 1789]
******* “..the EXPERIMENT entrusted to the..American people.”
Are YOU. up to continuing that experiment? If so, YOU. have work cut out for
YOU – because OUR American “experiment” is under attack like never before –
by determined, very well funded, fanatics, bent on imposing THEIR values
and religious dogma on YOU. This evidence is all around you – by people
claiming to be “patriots” and following the Constitution. That is their first
and greatest BIG LIE.i
