 BRAIN WASHING

flagbanr

America has been brainwashed. The methods used are easily identified, and the success is obvious.  Hitler's mass appeal techniques have been studied and are used by government and the media.  Our schools, movies, and media have dumbed-down the populace to the point that real Americans who support limited government, limited taxation, gun ownership, etc. are considered the oddballs in America today.

During the American Revolution, the pro-big-government citizen was called as a Tory. In 1777, George Washington was told that several Tories had hanged themselves, and he replied,   "One or two have done what a great number ought to have done long ago - committed suicide. By all accounts there never existed a more miserable set of beings than these wretched creatures now are."  When the Patriotic Americans won the Revolutionary war, many thousands of Tories (liberals) were stripped of their property, and many tens-of-thousands fled the country.

American now has the biggest central government the world has ever seen.  Our military has over 700 bases in more than 100 countries.

Our national government has become the very same bloated bureaucratic democracy that once controlled us from England.

 NATURAL RIGHTS
ALL FROM FOUNDINGFATHERS.COM

The Declaration of Independence declares that "the laws of Nature and Nature's God" are the source of man's rights - not government. The natural rights listed and protected by the Bill of Rights existed before government, and in no way depend on government for their existence. The U.S. Supreme Court has declared this fact.

America was founded as a republic - a "nation of laws." In a republic the government is formed by - and constrained by - laws.  But America has decayed into a democracy.  In a democracy voters can pass any law they please, and government is virtually unlimited in its ability to make laws, interpret the laws as it sees fit, and apply the laws with increasing force - to control the citizens.

An individual must know his RIGHTS, and claim them, or they simply cease to exist.

 RIGHTS VS LAWS

flagbanr      
The Declaration of Independence declares that each man has natural rights that emanate from God.  Natural rights are declared in the Declaration of Independence to be "unalienable," meaning these rights cannot be separated from the individual.  By establishing a republic, our Founding Fathers declared "unalienable" rights for each individual that cannot be altered by civil laws.

The government of the United States was created by the Constitution, which transferred 17 limited powers to the national government of the new "Republic." The Founding Fathers added a common law attachment to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, which further clarified and limited the intended powers of government.

Man's laws are known as civil law, from the Latin root word civilus, meaning citizen. Bouvier's Law Dictionary states, "the civil law is what a people establishes for itself."  In a democracy there is no such thing as a natural right also know as God-given right, since laws can be passed to control, limit or eliminate anything.  In a democracy there are "civil rights" established by civil law which are, legally speaking, civil privileges granted by man's government.

Yet today government can and does pass laws as it pleases without limitation and control. The laws of government now clearly override the natural rights of American individuals.  America is no longer a republic - it is a democracy.

 THE MILITIA

America's freedom and liberty was established by anti-big government gun owners  with "unregistered assault rifles," the individual men of the local militias of the several states.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle proclaimed 2,300 years ago that the prevalence of privately owned weapons was the best indicator of whether a nation was free. It is still a true measure of freedom today.  Free men own guns, slaves do not.

The United States Code (the laws of Congress) states in 10 USC 311(a) that, "The Militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age..." The US Supreme Court ruled in US v. Miller that when called into action the militia was to show up "bearing arms supplied by themselves..." Black's Law Dictionary defines militia as, "The body of citizens in a state" and not the "regular troops of a standing army." The militia is distinctly different from the National Guard or the US military forces.    

Our Founding Fathers warned that the militia must never be replaced by a standing army.  Today, our nation has the world's most powerful military; 57 government agencies carry guns and most have their own SWAT teams; and local police are trained in para-military operations.

As our Founding Fathers warned - the demise of the militia and rise of a standing army would spell the end of freedom and liberty.

 INTENT of the FOUNDING DOCUMENTS

flagbanr      
America's founding concepts written down on paper are referred to as the founding documents.  Four of these documents are:

The Declaration of the Causes & Necessity of Taking Up Arms

The Continental Congress wrote the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms on June 6, 1775. It explains why Americans were at war with the legal, constitutional government of the American colonies. This occurred 13 months prior to the Declaration of Independence, a document possible only because the colonists did not submit their "unregistered assault weapons" to government control at Lexington and Concord.

In order to retain their natural rights, Americans were forced to take up arms.  25,000 American died carrying "unregistered assault rifles" in the 8 years of war that established American independence. The document states -   "The arms we have been compelled by our enemies to assume…We will…employ for the preservation of our liberties, being with one mind resolved to die freemen, rather than to live as slaves."

The Declaration of Independence

The war for independence was 13 months old when the Declaration of Independence was written. Independence was not the reason that the minutemen had fired on government troops at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The minutemen were defending their God-given right to have firearms, being fully aware that a heavily armed citizenry was the only source of freedom.  It had became clear to the Continental Congress that the British government would not stop its assault on the rights of the colonists - independence was the only option.

The 56 members of the Continental Congress that signed the Declaration of Independence could be hung for this treasonous anti-government act. These men pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor" in support of the Declaration. Some paid with their "Lives" and their "Fortunes," but none gave up their Sacred Honor.  The Declaration of Independence established "God" as the source of natural rights, and declared a "Duty" and "Right" of the people "to throw off such government" that abuses and usurps natural, God-given rights.

The Constitution for the United States of America

The Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution for the United States of America, primarily to give the federal government more power over taxation and commerce.   The "united STATES of AMERICA" (as it appears on the Declaration of Independence) authored both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America. Note that the STATES were "united," and the Constitution was written to establish a government for the union of the states, to be called the United States of America.

Only 39 of the 55 Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution.  Sixteen refused and warned that the powers being transferred to the new government could be used to take away the freedoms just established.  They were right - the power to tax and the power to control "commerce" are being used to override the Bill of Rights - to control Americans, their rights, and soon, their guns.  

The Constitution only limits government if citizens actively enforce government limitations.

The Bill of Rights

Since the Constitution only assigned 17 limited powers to the new government many of the Founding Fathers considered a bill of rights unnecessary. But the anti-Federalists feared the power being transferred by the Constitution and wanted no misunderstanding - government was severely limited, and natural rights were not to be "infringed.".

The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to clarify that "unalienable rights," which existed before government was formed, could not and would not be "infringed" by the federal government in any way - PERIOD!  But, as many of the Founding Fathers warned, the Bill of Rights has been trampled by the unchallenged power of the government of the United States.

The 2nd Amendment "right to keep and bear arms," the true source of America's freedom and liberty, is about to disappear at the hands of the once limited government formed to protect and defend the rights of all Americans. The Bill of Rights only limits government if Americans understand and claim their rights.
