We need a convention of the states, not to amend the Constitution but to have Nuremberg-style treason trials for the millions of traitors in D.C.

There would be nothing more motivating, for the lawless tyrants, than ritual public hangings on the national mall.

The “Oh sh!t, they’re serious” moment. The smirks and middle fingers to the American people would vanish overnight.

If the states don’t do it, it will be left to the people and that’s never pretty.

After the ‘pitchforks, torches, tar & feathers,’ then what?

We rebuild, WITHOUT the uni-party - the same uni-party that WILL sell us down the road in an Article V Convention.

You hit the nail on the head Art. No President can set the course for a country without the Legislators to pass the policy. Article V is the only way left to back President Trump in draining the swamp.

The outcome of our revolution was unique; that of the French revolution was not. No people ever met to cast themselves into slavery.

“You know, I’ve never really considered seriously watering the tree of liberty,. . I think about it when I’m upset. . but today, my pendulum is swinging in that direction. “

The problem is that the following group own over 90% of the Dems & Pubs in D.C.

American based multinational corporations

American based global banks

American based global investment banks

They have purchased the D.C. House and Senate members . Schumer is owned by the same people who own Ryan. Pelosi is owned by the same group that owns McConnell.McCain, Flake, Graham are owned by the same people who own Feinstein.The stakes are high....too many millions chasing just a few poiliticians. They are all becoming millionaires while still in office....right under our noses. Some of them don’t even try to hide the payoffs anymore Witness Pelosi who was handed free VISA stock right before their IPO. We either have a convention of states, or sharpen your pitchforks. French Revo 2.0

The consequence of the American based multinational corporations, American based global banks, American based global investment banks is the same end effect as happened in Nazi Germany, state control of the means of production, in this case the budget of Congress, the biggest money machine in America. (BTW, our Tax Money, Theft of We the People to be redistributed.) If they can bribe their way to special interest control and increase their power, then we are controlled by a shadow totalitarian state. The more power they have, the larger the bloated bureaucracy will become. The more power, the worse the corruption. We therefore cease to be a functional Constitutional Republic as intended by our Founders.

This is why I dubbed them the Axis of Evil. They are no different than any totalitarian government. They must be dealt with. The Federal Reserve needs to be dealt with. The 20 Trillion in debt and 220 Trillion in unfunded liabilities need to be dealt with. They are entrenched but it we are to have a truly representative Congress again, the status quo has to change. (Along with repealing the 17th).

Pray for our David, President Trump who is fighting Goliath, the deep state banksters, bloated bureaucracy, entrenched D.C., K-Street lobbyists, donors and special interest groups. Representation? Forget it, they work for Them and it has to stop!

We have Taxation without Representation. Hmm, when did that happen before?

The Electoral and Sovereign capacities of the people are not the same.

On July 10th last year I began a three part series on that distinction.

Here is the introduction.

I get what you are after with Article V. In my humblest of opinions, Article V is a great tool, IF we didn't live in the age of the uni-party. I've listened to Levin on many occasions discussing Article V. I've studied the history behind it. Every single thing I've studied, however, leads me to ask the very same question, each and every time: Are you telling me, beyond any shadow of doubt, that through this process - can you GUARANTEE me - that the GOP at the state levels will NOT, in any way, shape or form, kowtow to the leftist proposals - to the leftists in general - if they believe it can get their own proposals passed?

In plain words, are you telling me, after all I've experienced on my own (I've been a right wing activist for many, many years now, as well as a former leader in various Republican groups and a former candidate for State office myself), after all I've studied, after all I've watched with my very own eyes, that we can, in fact, TRUST THE GOP to do what is right and proper in this one instance?

I'm sorry, but history tells me the answer to that question, and the answer is NO.

Since you couldn’t bother to check out the link I provided, . . .

I guarantee scotus will continue to function as the out of control constitutional convention that Article V opponents fear.

I guarantee, once the next rat assumes the Presidency, the Administrative state will strangle the remains of liberty.

I've read your stuff throughout the past. What I'm asking is, under an Article V convention, can you absolutely, positively guarantee that the GOP WILL NOT, under any circumstances, sell us down the river at any stage of the process?

To reject Article V is to reject the American Revolution.

Thank YOU for your excellent post.

“Pray for our David, President Trump who is fighting Goliath, the deep state banksters, bloated bureaucracy, entrenched D.C., K-Street lobbyists”

You know, it was only a decade or so ago that a decent lobbyist could earn maybe 150-200,000 per year. Today, 2 to 5 MILLION is what the cream of the crop earn. Remember Trent Lott? (I always called him Trent NOT, because he caved to the Dems 100% of the time). Well, Lott owned a lobby firm. He sold it a few years ago to an even bigger existing firm for 12 million, plus an additional 5 million directly to Lott. This has got to be exposed, and shut down.

Wow, didn't know about Lott. They go to Washington D.C., see all that Taxpayer cash coming in, And see Trillions going out to the 'needy' and various bogus government boondoggle programs and say, "Hey, can I get a piece of that easy money." Maybe I can get a grant, or a bribe, or grease some skids somewhere and get a lobbying job when I'm done."

Constituents? What constituents. I have to talk to them every 2, 4 or 6 years, BS them so I can get back to the money machine. I keep coming back to the Axis of Evil thought.

It's as if our government has been taken over by an evil cabal and it truly has. They have no real say in their decisions. Their staffers, who probably deal with the various donors, lobbyists on K-Street and special interest groups that walk through the door - their staffers 'gather up' all this information and tell the Congressman the 'preferred' way to vote and there you have it.

Is this the representative government we voted for?

Taxation without Representation?

Pitchfork time or go to Water the Tree of Liberty?
