Looking back the last few weeks: war on some religions

As I take a break from the constant hammer of the news on my eyes and brain, I’m looking back at a few things. One is the war on some religions – a front in the Lockdown Rebellion.

Just in case you missed them, here are just a few of the many examples of this war. It is easy to see how the Lockdown has targeted certain religious groups: various Christian and selected Jewish congregations, across the Fifty States.  Despite claims (even from judges, so-called conservatives, libertarians, and various “religious leaders”) that the decrees of the Lockdown did NOT target religion, it is pretty obvious that it has done so.

How we view police

cs lewis worst tyranny - Google Search | Graphic quotes ...

One of the recurring problems many lovers of liberty – especially we “more radical” free-market anarchists have is how we view police officers. Cops. In the light of the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota, let us look more generally at them.

Coins of liberty – history of freedom

Publisher’s note: With conditions as they are in the Fifty States right now, I am taking a “semi-break” from all the bad news, and publishing a few more general or even lighthearted commentaries that I hope readers will still find useful and encouraging. At the same time, there IS a tie between this subject (coins – money) and the current roiling of society. Read on, please!

Chaos pushed by multiple groups

Memorial Day is the start of Summer for Americans. It is already a hot summer, as cities burn and violence explodes. On top of the pandemic Lockdown, and the mostly-peaceful Lockdown Rebellion, we now have a seeming effort to recreate the insanity of 1968. Fifty-two years ago, a combination of the Southeast Asian War, racial tensions, urban problems, and seven years of increasingly liberal/progressive control of governments led to a series of assassinations, protests, riots, and fighting which scarred the Fifty States for decades.

It now appears that is being repeated. That goal – and more – is shared by multiple groups working together. Not just a repetition of “the Barbecue” (as 1968 was called in DC for years after), but a greater social upheaval. Already being called a revolt, pushed to become rebellion and revolution.

Really? Media twisting

A friend shared this with me, from a Pew Research Center posting.

Put not your trust in princes…

For those people who constantly claim, “if we just get to the Supreme Court…,” well, now you know the truth.

Black Mourning Ribbons: Mourning Streamers for Flags

The Supreme Court of the United States has stamped “CANCELLED FOR PANDEMICS” all over the First Amendment. And by doing so, the Nazgul have demonstrated, 5-4, that they have nothing but contempt for human rights, for freedom, for liberty, and for the Bill of Rights.

These five people have refused to declare the prohibition and restrictions on religious assembly decreed by Governor Gavin Newsom, dictator of California, to be unconstitutional – a violation of the First Amendment. They are traitors, they are oathbreakers, they are enemies of the very Constitution they swore to uphold.

The ink of that stamp bleeds through every page, every article, every paragraph and sentence of the United States Constitution. Those who have claimed it is a dead letter know now they were right.

The Roberts Court, and especially the traitor John Roberts himself, have not even the pitiful excuse of the Taney Court in support of slavery, or the Warren Court in favor of murdering babies.

I made a pledge some readers may recall:

I, Nathan Alan Barton, do solemnly affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Can ANYONE explain to me how I can NOT consider John Roberts, Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayer, and Kagan as domestic enemies? No matter WHAT their justification?

This (the cartoon) did NOT happen either in Philadelphia at the Constitution or the Congress that forwarded the Bill of Rights to the States for their approval.

If THIS part – the First Article of Amendment of the Constitution of the United States can be declared null and void by a governor who has made himself the tyrant and dictator of the State of California AND the cowardly, traitorous act of FIVE men and women in black robes, ALL of them breaking their oaths to defend and protect the Constitution, there is NOTHING in that document which has ANY force.

ANY right, ANY power, ANY limit on power, of the Federal Government, a State government, a Tribal government, or a LOCAL government, can be taken away through the declaration of a state of emergency or a public health excuse. If some jurisdictions do NOT do so, it is not because they are restrained by any sort of law of man. No, it is entirely dependent on the “goodness of their heart” – the magnanimity of the tyrant, the mercy of an all-powerful man or woman.

This cannot stand. If the Constitution is now declared null and void, the only recourse is ALL who still honor their commitment to defend and protect, and anyone else who believes that God or nature made us free men and women.

It is NOT rebellion against government – not LEGITIMATE government. It is NOT repudiating any oaths to the Constititions, federal or local. It is NOT disobeying lawful orders – or indeed, ANY law. It is NOT a refusal to “bear true faith and allegiance” to the Constitution.

Strictly speaking, an unconstitutional statute is not a “law”, and should not be called a “law”, even if it is sustained by a court, for a finding that a statute or other official act is constitutional does not make it so, or confer any authority to anyone to enforce it.

– https://constitution.org/uslaw/16amjur2nd.htm

Yes I know that this doesn’t strictly apply: the Dictator of California is NOT trying to enforce a “statute” or a “law” – he is enforcing a DECREE, an “Executive Order” that is not even legally AND morally applicable to individuals, whether they are a religious assembly or anything else.

So we seem, at this point, to be left with one recourse: armed resistance and the threat of arms, and as necessary, armed action, to remove these traitors, these tyrants and supporters of tyranny, from power.

I do not see any other choice. Do you?

War bulletin?

The Fifty States – at least the urban areas – seem to be descending into chaos the last weekend of May, 2020.

Not triggered by the Lockdown, but certainly heightened by it, I find reports from at least these cities:

Blue cities burn, blue States crash

It was on Wednesday morning that I posted comments regarding the decline and fall of the massive urban areas. Increasingly uninhabitable, “ungovernable” (at least for those who believe in a totalitarian nanny-state system of rule over the masses), and economically and socially unsustainable.

It seems that I was unintentionally and unknowingly prefacing the storm. The Battle of Minneapolis is now raging, and battles have and are developing across the Fifty States in city after city. Meanwhile people on all sides are whipping up fury and escalating the threats, demands, AND violence. But the source? The police and the politicians: not just but especially the regressivists that control the blue states and cities.

Decline and fall of the great urban areas?

I admit it has been predicted more than once, that the “great urban areas” (whether they had a “mere” 50,000 people in the Middle Ages or the 5-20 million of the huge urban complexes of the 21st Century) are going to collapse and die. But maybe, just maybe, this time – with the Pandemic Panic and the accelerating withdrawal of the Fifty States from the world order of the last 75 years – it is going to happen?
