Our Current Government Is No Longer Constitutional

September 17 was Constitution Day, a day set aside for American patriots to commemorate the moment 237 years ago, when delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed that document. It’s all the day when a prominent Philadelphia matron, Elizabeth Willing Powel, ambushed Benjamin Franklin as he left Constitution Hall. Spying Franklin, she pounced with the interrogatory, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” This is the famous question to which Franklin uttered his famous response: “A republic, if you can keep it!”

Today’s patriots commemorate this brief colloquy precisely because of the chilling fact that we haven’t “kept” that republic. Since at least WWII, we have let the republic slip through our fingers with the exponential growth of the administrative state.

In Washington Goes to War, David Brinkley details how the DC bureaucracy exploded during the war, aided in no small part by FDR’s New Deal. Today, notwithstanding that the Constitution makes the federal government a republic and, in Article IV Section 4, guarantees that each of the 50 states is a republic, in all 51 jurisdictions, the republican form has been eclipsed by the administrative bureaucracy that dominates the federal and state governments.

These administrative bureaucracies are, in effect, a fourth branch of the government in all 51 jurisdictions. These fourth branches are wholly unelected, hence nullifying self-government. These fourth branches enact more laws than their corresponding legislative branches and exercise their own powers of prosecution, adjudication, and sentencing.

Because the personnel of these fourth branches are appointed by the corresponding executive branches and their superintendent deep states, these fourth branch personnel exhibit a distinct cyborg persona, which renders them adverse to the human citizens of the states.

For this reason, the 2024 presidential election is only superficially labeled “Trump versus Harris.” Matthew G. Andersson noted it would more correctly be labeled “Trump versus the Federal Borg.” And Eric Utter recently pointed out that the US federal government has become a criminal organization.

We have not had the Organic Constitution in force since the Act of 1871, 150 years ago.

That’s why there’s the “Declaration of Independence”.

Now you tell us.

At least, ya ain’t gonna get a smaller government with the gop and dems. Nobody gets elected promising less government and delivers on that. We will have more spending and more government going forward, regardless of who is in charge.

We all want an Organic Free Trade Sustainable Renewable Glutton Free Republic.

Because the voters don’t want smaller government. Oh sure they say they hate big government, until somebody proposes cutting their pet programs.

I’ve discussed this many times over the past 3 years, replies and posts

“At least, ya ain’t gonna get a smaller government with the gop and dems. Nobody gets elected promising less government and delivers on that.”

You have that exactly right. And it is not limited to the federal government. I’ve lived in Alaska for 46 years and every slob running for governor has vowed to reduce spending. None of them have done so. The only way to control government is to keep it broke.

The very first words of the constitution after the preamble are “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states.”

That means bureaucrats, judges, and presidents cannot write laws. But they do it all the time.

[Diversity Is Our Weakness]

The constitution was founded on states rights. That’s why the FF wrote the 10A. 99% of what the feds do is in violation of the 10A.

Article says the DC power grab started with FDR but it was actually lincoln.

[Paal Gulli]

Hullo? McFLy?

The Constitution has been in shreds since the 2020 election was stolen.

[Regulator]

“but it was actually lincoln”

Shhh...you can never criticize King Abe I, er, St. Lincoln.

Naked, unrestrained federal power is what our ancestors fought for in the Revolution, doncha know?

[Dick Bachert]

A HUGE part of that SOLUTION is THIS EASILY SOLVED PROBLEM!
QUESTION:
HOW DO WE HALT THE ONGOING DESTRUCTION OF THE CURRENT SO-CALLED MONETARY SYSTEM?
WHY THE HELL DON’T WE RETURN TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR A MORE STABLE & HONEST MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE CALLED FOR IN THE CONSTITUTION AT ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10??

VIDEOS EXPLAIN (BUT AN EDUCATED PERSON PROBABLY ALREADY KNEW THIS)...AND WHY OUR WOULD-BE MASTERS WILL FIGHT IT TO THE DEATH!

This SCAM started a looonnng time ago!
AND THIS TIME, THOSE “CHICKENS” THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO COME HOME TO ROOST? THEY’RE BUZZARDS!! BIG ONES!!!
