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’ve enjoyed reading all of these and also some of the insightful comments, but I’d like to pose a question. If our federal government no longer existed then what would become of our military? Do we then have state militaries that would act in coordination if needed for national defense? Would we see completely militia style state militaries? State budgets alone couldn’t allow for continued advancement for high tech military machinery. Would states pool resources for a general military fund for continued research? Just a lot to consider.
I was going to elaborate on this more in Part V, but this is a great question.
There is no military that belongs to the Federal Government at all (and this was an ingenious part of our nation's design). The provide the coordination of the military that is all.
Let me explain further. If tomorrow, all of the States got together and said they had enough of the Federal abuses and were forming a new pact of states to protect the rights of the people - who would all the soldiers in those states suddenly belong to? If Texas were to leave the union, who is the CiC from these soldiers from Texas now?
You see, the Feds have their own little oasis free from state control. But they also have no military at all. The men and women of the military belong to their respective states and are "lent" to the Feds to be coordinated for the common defense as long as the State remains a part of the United States.
Bear in mind also that, prior to WWII, the US did not having an active and standing military - just a small contingent in case of invasion. This was the big warning Eisenhower gave us about the MIC with the change in direction following WWII.
To the second part of your question, look no further than the Civil War. The Confederate States left the union yet they were able to coordinate and fight just fine. In fact, in the earlier stages of the war, they were winning more battles than the union. Grant's military genius is what turned things around for the North. However, history lesson aside, the Confederation showed during this period that the States could work together WITHOUT the Federal Government just fine.
Even wondered why, over the last couple of years, the Feds have placed so much emphasis on removing any references to the Confederation.? It was a period in American History that proved a group of states could function together without the need for a Federal Government.
I get all that, but it still really doesn’t answer the logistics of equipment and innovation. Does each state now have nuclear weapons? Do they divvy up the existing number of battleships, aircraft, tanks, tactical vehicles, etc? Do they work independently for new innovation of advanced weaponry? The logistics just seem crazy to me.
Not to mention, now who controls space force and our military satellites and the weapons involved with those?
"Even wondered why, over the last couple of years, the Feds have placed so much emphasis on removing any references to the Confederation.? It was a period in American History that proved a group of states could function together without the need for a Federal Government."
This is an extremely interesting insight, Wayshuba and one that I had not considered. I always assumed that the eradication of all things confederate was the typical 1984-style erasure of history. And while I'm sure that's certainly one of the motivations, what you are positing is especially relevant now based on our very similar interpretations of the end game here. Bravo, sir.
