Demonstration 'A' Why DC Has No Legitimacy

The pattern really got going with the "bailout" in 2008.

Buried in a monster bill that was waived the three day lockdown on votes was a provision that allowed Ben Bernanke to set bank reserves to zero. It was one line in a monstrosity that Hank Paulson insisted on being passed after his "one page" equivalent, which gave him sole authority on $700 billion dollars of public money, went down in defeat a day earlier. I caught it and reported on it but nobody in the Legislature said a single word about it at the time, likely because they didn't actually read the whole thing and thus other than the snake who put it in there didn't know it existed.

The came Obamacare, which I actually stayed up all night to read. It was another of those "ream of paper plus" bills that was to be voted on the next day, again under suspension of the rules. I have four monitors here on a "spider" stand arranged in a big rectangular and angled panel, which is necessary for such analysis because bills typically have language such as "in Section X of US code strike this paragraph and insert the following", so if you want to know what the bill does you must look up all the cross-references. This means you can't just read it; you must go through all those links as well, and read as much of the underlying legislation as is necessary to gain the contextual understanding so you know what's being proposed.

It took me all night fueled by my espresso machine.

This bill can't be read and comprehended overnight by any human. I am an extraordinarily fast reader and retain excellent comprehension when I exercise that skill; it is likely I'm in the 99th percentile in that regard. This bill is some five times the size, and thus physically impossible for a Congressperson or Senator to read prior to having to vote on it. It is therefore fraud by definition and, until and unless every person who has to vote on it can physically read it (should they choose to do so) it cannot be otherwise. For we, the people to permit such "laws" to be passed is an abomination; no government that does this is legitimate, ever, no matter what party is in power or for what purpose said things are put forward.

No Representative or Senator represents the people who elected said person when they vote for a bill under these circumstances. There is no excuse for it, ever, and there is particularly no excuse when this circumstance arises due to deliberate delay in the appropriations process that has been gutted and ginned up over the space of nearly two decades by both political parties. Were God to smote the Capitol with a meteor while the House is in session in response I'd have to offer a toast, and were the allegedly-represented people to choose a similar course of action I could no more than smirk. A man or woman who takes an oath under knowing false pretense, and to even contemplate such a bill and offer and allow it to come to the the floor, say much less vote for it, is sufficient evidence of willful false swearing as to their oath of office.

This is not a partisan issue and it matters not if you support whatever is purported to be in said legislation because by definition you cannot know that the effect of said legislation is in fact what is represented. For this reason the very premise of such a bill is fraudulent and fraud vitiates all agreements including any obligation of the citizens to follow any law whether that law constrains economic or physical acts.

It’s an obvious perversion of the congressional process. It allows a party in power to pass functionally unreviewed legislation.

More like preaching to the choir. Our protestations have no impact on DC.

There needs to be an immediate return to a defense bill, a farm bill, etc. etc. The omnibus process is corrupt to the very core.

I fear that it is beyond human capacity to 'fix' the cancer that is killing our Republic. That 'cancer' is corruption, and that corruption extends to personal behavior as well as greed for money and power.

I find myself praying that , like Ninevah, The Lord can bring broad repentance among those who still possess concern for their immortal souls. selah

God is the one that turns hearts. He alone grants and allows the will and desire to repent.
He also is the one that sends strong delusion so that people believe lies.
HE is the one who hardens hearts, takes away stony hearts and gives a heart of flesh... to a remnant.

He is also the one who has on occasion turned people over to satan for the destruction of their flesh.
He had a bear kill a bunch of children for making fun of the bald headed prophet.

its pretty apparent this republic like other governments in the past, has been abandoned to delusion for the purposes of pending judgement.
evil is called good and good is deemed evil...

its time. past time.
we cannot vote or legislate or judicially rule our way OUT of this present darkness...

Happy new year usa... God’s people here are safe in his protection... the nation... well it’s in God’s hands.

We cannot know the 'end' of the matter; G•d's prophets are saying that the Lord wants to intervene for 'His Christian nation'.

Eccl 12:13 - Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 😌
