The States are already reasserting their sovereignty and it's happening a lot faster than anyone would believe.
The alleged POTUS Joe Biden has stated that lockdowns and mask mandates will continue into next year. Several states are (belatedly) ignoring this dictate and reopening their states.
What this suggests is that they are finally realizing that there's not a damn thing DC can do to enforce its will and usurpation of the country.
At the risk of triggering some, IT'S HAPPENING!
This domino effect of states asserting Federalism is a healthy thing for our country, telling the massive centralized "federal" government that it is not welcome. The U.S. Constitution/Declaration of Independence/Bill of Rights are there specifically to LIMIT what the central government can do, to limit its powers, to prevent it becoming what it has in fact become. Most of the powers were reserved to the states. States are finally assuming their proper role in governance...which means more independence, more reliance on self--at last. ...........05 Mar 2021 Friday
Good info on Federalism here, for anyone who wants to read up.
https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/learning-material/federalism
Great link. Thank you.
Thank you. It's good to have a reference like that...we're going to need it to "encourage" the nesters in our local governments to get off their eggs and show some courage.
Go look up "Devolution" and then reassess Trump's "exit" from the White House.
He will be back. I believe him when he says there is a plan.
Yep, already have. Have also read the COG plan. It all makes perfect sense. And I'm past the point of trying to explain it to the MAGA who don't get it/refuse to see it. They'll get it at some point. Right now I'm just enjoying the show. (And doing everything I can as an individual to chip away at the DS from where I am.)
I love the statement, but what do we do about all the unelected federal officials that ACTUALLY control everything?
Great question.
When the States take back their sovereignty, the federal government shrinks and those people are out of a job.
That does present some serious economic problems. You've got millions of bureaucrats, used to making 6 figures, who have no skills the free market values. They've now gone from the ruling class to paupers.
Also, there's a good chunk of people who worked for 20 years to get a guaranteed 100 years of cushy retirement benefits (I exaggerate). Do we pay for those "promised" benefits? I suggest it gets reduced significantly.
But do you now see why gov't employees are so dedicated to protect the corrupt politicians?
I don't think there's a way out of this that doesn't break the financial system.
But does it shrink when they plunder literally trillions of dollars, practically printing all money they want? I think we're neck-deep in a decades' old agenda at this point. I see only one constitutional fail-safe to defend itself as a way out.
Save your bullets. Let’s the states flex their power and go from there. Don’t be trigger happy because that ain’t the way patriots roll. Remember the Boston Tea Party.
Except this time we dress up in communist chinese get up and dump billions of dollars worth of nikes, t.v.s, and iPhones into highways, courthouse lawns, and governor's driveways? Half serious here
If it doesn't shrink, then we haven't won.
But yes, this goes back at least 108 years and I suggest much further.
Your fail-safe remains on the table. I still see other alternatives.
Stop funding them. Starve them out.
Start firing them and wiping out the civil service unions that keep them in their nests where they are free to wreak havoc on the country and any officials they don't like. They do a lot of damage. They must be limited to the same terms as the Representatives, then buh-bye! No more long term nest-building and hell raising.
You have been doing your homework.
A+
They have one big card they can play. The purse strings. The real test will be if the States still refuse when DC threatens to freeze all money/subsidies/aid/grants/etc. Only then can they truly be free.
Congrats. You just hit on a YUGE topic.
Let's game this out.
DC threatens to cut off Federal funding to TX .
In response, TX legally nullifies federal tax withholding for its residents and businesses. TX is the 2nd biggest economy in the US, representing 10-15% of all GDP and 40% of energy production.
So the bond market looks at this and thinks maybe the US debt isn't as secure as it once was. Interest rates go up.
And the oil market looks at this and says, global supply is going to go down. Oil prices go up, driving up all prices (that's called inflation).
So now you have rising borrowing costs and lower production, all with a dollar that is deteriorating due the the ongoing money printing from the Fed.
Interest rates will explode because nobody who sees the above paragraph will lend money to a shaky nation.
There are over $800 trillion in gross derivatives that we know about. About 1/3 of that are interest rate swaps. When one side of a swap breaks out to unexpected levels, capital calls are triggered and all asset markets are impacted by the selling pressure.
This is known as a real market crash. The emperor has no clothes.
Now, circling back to your point; would the establishment do this?
Only if they had a replacement system ready to go. These people like their wealth and power and are not going to crash the system.
This is what the Great Rest is all about. Everyone should read up on this. It matters.
So how do we avoid this? I suggest the crash is inevitable. So the only option is to have a reset that is benign to oppose the plans of the Globalists.
One without the Globalist Central Banks.
And now you know why the establishment went fulll retard. Everything is at stake.
Very interesting thoughts—a crash is inevitable. Having lived through 2008, which was a banking led credit crunch (different from manufacturing recession), i too believe crashes are inevitable. I also don’t see people relinquishing power unless they are forced to (by whatever means legal or illegal doesn’t matter). So in one sense I agree with you and in another sense i believe that this nightmare dystopia can get a lot worse before the system crumbles. I don’t see humans fixing our way out of this, it has to collapse.
The question really comes down to how much we can and should preserve?
Change is coming.
I agree. trump started putting power back to the States at the git-go. And now, the passage of HR1 is going to accelerate this even more. States are going to be fighting everything. It's GLORIOUS.
It is glorious.
But I have to caution you about thinking this is Trumpism.
There was a huge debate between Jefferson and Madison on whether we should become a Federalist nation (States rights which Jefferson supported) or a Nationalist nation (Stronger central gov't which Maidson favored).
Many people don't remember that it was Madison who actually wrote the Constitution, but considering he wrote a document that gave us Federalism, it really points to how powerful Jefferson's arguments were.
Federalism and small government is the way to go.
It's definitely not "Trumpism." It's the genius of our Founding Fathers writ large. The Federalist Papers are well worth reading.
Cheers fellow traveler. May our paths cross again soon.
That's my way of saying we very much agree.
Tbf, based on the original Constitution, I would agree, but the US federal government is so massive and over reaching at this point, that Trump is no centralist. Trump's agenda was using the federal government to the benefit of people and not interests, not necessarily empowering it. Imo, his message is more "you have a federal government who doesn't give a shit about you, I'll use it's lawful powers to your actual benefit and so it does the job it's supposed to" vs the democrats, whose message is "give the government more power so we can keep screwing you". He wasn't necessarily a federalist before Covid much either though. I just think his message was more "get the government to do the job it should" rather than calling to centralize and empower it.
Also, to understand Federalism, it's important to understand the fundamental principle of "subsidiarity."
https://lawliberty.org/subsidiarity-federalism-and-the-role-of-the-state/
HR1 only passed the house, right?
It's still a warning shot across the bow.
Yep. And it hasn't been added to the Senate calendar yet.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1/text
Federalism even extends down to the County & City level too. Nobody has to do shit if they don't want to.
Very much true.
What power does Nacy Pelosi actually have over you?
None.
Yet she acts like she does.
The States will continue to be little more than administrative districts of the Federal Government until the elected State governments are added back to the balance of power equation our founders established.
Repeal the 17th amendment.
If you've been planning to move to a state that's more free, you're probably going to want to do it sooner versus later.
Bonus happening: I see even individual counties doing their own thing compared to state governments.
In b4 people who have been advocating local food for a decade because "fuck companies" tell me I'm racist for wanting local governing.
It is happening! Just not the Q "It"
To be fair, what is happening is that people are waking up.
Is that not a Great Awakening?
I've always kept an open mind about Q. I'm just hoping we actually know the answers some day.
In the meantime, I'll join the grind and assume we've got to do this ourselves.
You're right, and it's great! I still can't help wanting arrests
And we can both make a case that arrests will happen tomorrow.
Heck, I can even see a really whacked theory that arrests have already happened as being true.
I don't believe either, but if they happen my head won't explode.
The problem is we don't know, so we proceed as if it's up to us.
We win either way.
You’re very optimistic. I like that. I was hooked on that hopeium pretty hard back before January 6th. Now, not so much, but your post has really opened my eyes to a non-violent way out of this. I now find myself being cautiously optimistic again. Thanks for your post and info. I’ll do some more looking at federalism myself (been a while since I’ve been in school) and probably write some of my reps and get them to look into Missouri taking extra steps to distance themselves from the fed.
"An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist fears this is true"
I'm somewhere in between. I'm a realist, but always working towards the good outcome.
I'm glad my words had an impact and Missouri certainly needs your help. You've given us one seemingly great Senator, but there's still work to do there.
I’d prefer the violent way in Minecraft, but this will do for now.
Loads of human traffickers have already been arrested to this day, big media's just not reporting on it. Arrests of high profile targets are ones that MSM can't hope to ignore.
MSM is complicit in human trafficking
We know what we're up against and MSM has been putting as much attention attacking "QAnon" as they have been with denying voter fraud.
Rather telling, isn't it? They attack what they fear, but it also serves their goal of demoralizing some.
I can't be demoralized because I don't believe any narratives until I have seen hard evidence with my own eyes. Just as I thought Q was plausible, I also recognize that it's possible he was a LARP. I simply don't know at this point.
I think salty cracker was right that fuckin Potatus was going to open up in two months and take credit. This fucks him over, my fear is that chicom is waiting to unleash covid 2.0, we all know they have it. With a death rate of 2%, we are all doomed since no one will nuke them for their biological attacks on the world.
It’s the perfect plan really. Release a flu like virus that’s kills the elderly so the sheep panic and the few rational people like us go un-effected. Then once the real one is released, both the sheep and the aware die.
Considering how incompetently they handled the first pandemic, I'm not too worried about them trying to incompetently round us up and exterminate us.
Its going to go well for about 30 minutes until the first patriots overwhelm the raiding parties and start fighting back using military/police grade weapons.
30 minutes later you'll see politicians begging for help as they're escorted out of their homes and educated on the sidewalk. in minecraft
If we learned one thing in the last 4 years, the one running around calling everyone a faggot ALWAYS turns out to be the biggest faggot of them all.
looks at your post history
That would be you.
So, what would that make you? 🤣 lOgiC
They do not have it. They never had anything, covid 1 was fake (it was the flu, plus weaponized propaganda, and that's it).
Better parties than the Chinese communists have tried. For instance, the Soviets tried to create a deadly virus that spreads rapidly and failed. And the Pedo Pope has been trying to weaponize Marburg and Ebola since forever.
Thank God. Such a thing is probably impossible.
They will punish states for this. They will block federal funding, try to force immigrants into those states, etc.
Imagine you have a household with 50+ kids.
But you selective punish only those kids who are doing their chores, have a part time job, donate income to the family, cook the meals, do the dishes etc etc..
the other 45 kids who do fuck all have impunity as long as they brown nose and suck up to the parentals...
This is sort of the situation we're in... those 5 or so kid who do everything are going to move out and the household can go on with its disfunctional self.
They'll all be estranged coke addicted losers in a few years and they'll resent those who moved out and on with their healthy lives.
The country is a Macro of the family unit. This family is disfunctional and unhealthy. The dad is a pedophile, racist abuser and the mom is a whore dominatrix.
Turns out the 5 good kids were adopted.
It's a good analogy, but I question the ratio of good:bad kids.
That goes both ways. States can also withhold "tax" funds from the federal government.
Yes, that's possible, but already addressed elsewhere on this thread.
HR1
Also happening.
HR1 won't happen.
The fact that they're trying to push something this insidious through is somewhat telling. They know we've got the numbers and it isn't even close.
we're also learning HR1 is a piece of paper.
Just like the constitution or your visa bill.
They don't realize if you ignore laws long enough, it doesn't matter any more what laws they write. Fuck them. They're going to get the Flynn/Sullivan treatment, we're going to change genders on the fly just to frustrate them, and in the end we're not going to comply with a damn thing.
The best thing that could happen is they send 10000 of us to a single location and just TRY to lock us up/reeducate us. Gathering 10000 conservatives in one location is going to be their biggest epic failure, when we jump the first two guards and the entire shitshow is flipped on its head.
Democrats don't know how to secure a weapon cache/ammo dump and they certainly won't be able to keep it from the hands of patriots willing to fight for it.
I was going to suggest we keep this type of talk muted, but f*ck it, I want them to know that we'd be the most unpleasant prisoners imaginable.
Its going to be SO MUCH FUN when our backs are against the wall and there's nothing to lose.
Rock Bottom is when shit gets done. It's a necessary step. Most losers never start to better their lives until they're allowed to hit it and stay there for a bit.
Then they learn to appreciate Having and Doing and Earning and responsibility etc etc.. it's a huge learning curve.
When the school bus is parked on your street and the door bell rings at 4am, you look out the window and see neighbors being escorted to the waiting buses and their personal belongings being thrown into an MLVW...
you'll know its time to go full honk
A year too late! Where were these states in November?
That said it is good to see. The people need to reassert their power.
If I have to sacrifice a Trump 2nd term for a federalist nation, then so be it. Whatever it takes.
They are gonna play the long game, even if it means increasing the FBI size ten fold.
The feds are gonna become the brownshirts on every street corner and make sure everyone complies with the plan.
Not unless we do something about it. I can already see congress panicking, they’ve never been interrupted like this before. They thought we were going to just let them steal the election and get away with it. Hell no, they are going to pay via blood to the tree of liberty in Minecraft.
Still loving how some people taking selfies inside a building made them collectively shit their pants. Paper tigers
Possible. But that's what we're trying to avoid.
Fag Bois Incorporated
They can hire as many as they want, but we're NEVER going to stop making fun of them.
It's more respectable to be a common democrat campaigner than it is to willingly put FBI merch on your body.
its the proper response and what i have advocated for as long as i can remember. of all power is concentrated at top, there are no options and there is no recourse for things done wrong.
Agreed.
I'm pleased that this post has gotten as much traction as it has. Tells me there are a lot of us who see this path forward as being the right way.
I'll be posting more on this topic.
This is correct.
But I think President Trump fucked up their plans for the Great Reset. Maybe he accelerated the crash? Because it's coming and the Great Rest isn't ready.
Buy gold and silver, people. You have been warned.
Spot on.
Unlike spot price, which is perennially off
I always figured spot price was exactly where the bankers want it to be?
Quite. Which, these days, is very distinct from market price!
I used to work for Wall Street banks and can confirm that your fringe conspiracy theory is 100% correct.
Congrats on getting out. Many people in my orbit are real deep into the banking world. They’re true believers though...
Thanks. It was the defining moment in my life. I left a lot of money on the table to do the right thing.
I was facing one of life's toughest choices, and I passed the test.
I will die happy knowing I am a good man and will never be one of them. The moral clarity things like that bring are life-altering.
Exactly, Trump was the federalist president
Maybe. An argument could be made that Trump was a pure Nationalist like Hamilton wanted. Trump shrunk the government in some ways, but there was some inconsistency.
That argument allows that a Nationalist President is effective in war time, but we'd want to shift to a Federalist President afterwards. That's where DeSantis comes in.
potatus said they're going to keep this shit up for another 12 months? the fuck?
Do you honestly believe Dementia Joe or Kamala Toe will still be in power in 12 months?
They have zero political capital at this point and are just being propped up by an increasingly unpopular MSM and Big Tech. Something is going to give well before the year is out.
Ok but explain to me what will remove them. Because they cheated in broad daylight and no one did shit and SCOTUS cucked out while the nat guard surrounded the capital.
As you say, they are illegitimate. Most of America agrees.
There are a handful of possible paths to rectifying this, and we are pushing back on all fronts.
Personally, I think State Nullification and/or a Convention of States are the most likely paths, but I could make a case for several other avenues having a chance.
Also, the election challenges aren't done yet.
You’re an idiot if you don’t think this is coordinated with the Biden admin and there will be another lockdown again in 2022.
