“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. … God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” — Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787
We live in perilous times. Tyranny is rising in the ‘land of the free.’ We have children and grandchildren to protect. Caution and restraint are necessary for the moment. Vigilance is crucial. There are reasons to expect the most recent attempt at stripping our rights will be struck down.
Reason #1) Many laws will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The U.S. Supreme Court already has a track record of striking down the several key gun control laws that have been put in place by cities or states.
Reason #2) A Supreme Court decision would expose the illegitimacy of the court and reveal the outright criminality of the federal government.
If, somehow, the U.S. Supreme Court finds these new state gun restrictions laws to be “constitutional,” such a decision would be equivalent to a declaration that the court has openly abandoned its only real duty, which is to halt overreaching laws that violate the individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
If reasons 1 and 2 fail us, we will be left with only Mr. Jefferson’s admonition … watering the tree of liberty.
Reason #3) A civil war may be underway before any of this makes it to the courts.
DHS specifically defines “terrorists” in America as:
– Americans who believe their “way of life” is under attack
– Americans who are “fiercely nationalistic”
– People who consider themselves “anti-global”
– Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”
– Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty”
– People who “believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”
Thus, at least half the U.S. population has already been deemed “terrorists.” According to the White House, this means they have no right to due process.
