The previous three posts have covered some considerations for where we are today. The Federal Government has failed and become corrupt at all levels and Trump intentionally went about establishing the States as superior to the Federal Government during the Covid "scandemic".
But a question was posed in the last post that will lead into this one: What do we do when ALL branches of our government have turned against the very people they serve?
Are we really to believe the Feds are responsible for making sure the Feds play by the rules? Think about that for a moment. The Federal Government has convinced many Americans they are responsible for making sure they behave and don't violate law. But we've seen how that has turned out. In fact, this has become the primary source of frustration for most Americans that has resulted in our two-tier justice system.
Most of us understand that the Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment for this purpose. But that was meant to be the very last resort. Sure, it is still an option available to Americans but I believe it will not come to that.
Let's start with these important questions:
- Where does the Federal Government derive it's powers from?
- What permits the Federal Government to hold it's power?
Let's address the first question. Which brings us to an important part of this post - the Constitutional Compact. Today, this is referred to as Compact Theory - because just like conspiracy theory, the powers that be want to divert from the real truth.
Within the first twenty years of our nation, this had already reached the level of the Supreme Court. The Constitution was said to be a compact (i.e., contract) between the Federal Government and the States. However, the Supreme Court ruled and upheld on a few other occasions, that this was a contract between the citizens of the US and the Federal Government because of the phrase "We The People". They opined that because the states were representatives of the people, then it was the people that gave those powers to the Feds. In 1798, this became the first stone in the Feds seizing control.
Thomas Jefferson, one of the men who helped form and ratify the Constitution, infamously opposed this ruling as he was well aware of the intent of the Constitution. One has only look to the Tenth Amendment to see it conflicts with the Supreme Court ruling. In addition, many involved in the process (38 state representative delegates) noted the US Constitution was an improved version of the Articles of Confederation - which to that point treated the states as separate, sovereign nations.
It was not the People who ratified the US Constitution by vote, it was the States. The States wrote and drafted the US Constitution so all citizens would have the same basic rights and freedoms. Note that the Constitution does not say the powers not given to the Feds are given to the People. The tenth Amendment says the powers not given to the Feds are the sole authority of the States.
What would happen if you or I entered into a contract with someone and they didn't uphold their contractual duty. Would you be expected to uphold yours? We know the answer is no. What if they didn't and still decided to take you to court to uphold yours? You would expect the court to find the contract null and void. But what if the court happened to be in the employ of the party that violated the contract?
Isn't that what we have with the Federal Government today. Just since the beginning of 2020, we could all list dozens of Constitutional Violations and far-overstepping their delegated powers. They do this only because the courts are in their corner and they are free to violate their side of the contract while telling others they are held to it. This is how insane it has become.
But that leads us to the second question - What permits the Federal Government to hold it's power?
The very simple answer to this question is the States. Yes, we all feel like the government has all the power and that is why they can do what they want. But do they?
The Government of course will point to the anti-secession pact that Lincoln forced on the States after the war. All states except Texas are bound by this clause. However, to the earlier point, what happens when one party has continually violated their contract? Why are the States being told they are bound when the Feds feel they are not?
What happens when the States wake up and realize they actually hold all the power and the Federal Government has none? What happens when they realize what that truly means?
Why this all is important is you may have noticed after the Supreme Court refused to hear the Texas case regarding the election, the States began to take control again. For too long, they lazily seceded authority to the Federal Government that it did not have. You see, not only did Trump instill Patriotism and hope for our country back into many of it's citizens - he also began teaching the states that they, not the Feds, are the superior government in our nation.
It may be a coincidence, but do you find it unusual that Trump now lives in Florida and the Governor most standing up to the Federal tyranny today is Gov. DeSantis of Florida?
States are now passing laws that directly forbid certain Federal Laws from being upheld in their states. You are hearing about Second Amendment sanctuaries. You are seeing them passing laws forbidding abortion - because this was NEVER a power given to the Federal Government.
In Part V, we'll discuss the end game and why understanding all this was so important for it to happen. Our Founding Fathers were smart men who realized what it could do to a nation should it's government became so corrupt, and against the basic rights provided by our Creator, that it had to be cast off.
And they structured the US for just this moment that will be coming.
I will leave you with one final thought before posting Part V tomorrow. Going back to the excerpt posted in part one from the Declaration of Independence - Do Americans even believe they NEED a Federal Government anymore? What would America look like if the Federal Government didn't even exist and instead there existed a compact between the States? Most Importantly, how would you go about dissolving the ENTIRE Federal Government?

I agree with your questions and answers. I also believe that the Constitution and Bill of Rights were specifically set up to establish the states having most authority and the "federal" government to deal with other countries (defense and trade) and matters of national interest only. Even the original senate was set up to contain appointees from the states' elected congress, not people directly elected.
I am cheering on those in states with we-the-people governors and congresses, and believe they will lead the way in the resurrection of our great union. (Sadly, I am stuck in blue-Michigan with one of corrupt governors.) Remembering the fallen today, and grateful for the vision of our founding fathers.
First, the changes in Senators being elected was a huge turning point for the Feds gaining control over the States. The Constitution set up the House of Representatives to represent the people and The Senate to represent the States. This was to prevent the Feds from acting against the direct interests of the States. Changing this to elect Senators basically removed the state representation from the equation and gave it all to the people.
Which brings up another point. Does anyone believe that two-thirds of the States, as required for a Constitutional Amendment, would have voted to give up their power in Congress?
