Where We Stand: America At A Crossroads
thebluestateconservative.com ^ | 8/13/2021 | David Robb

A coup d’état, usually shortened to coup, is the seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator. Wikipedia

America today stands at a crossroads like nothing before in its history. Sometime last year, a coup took place – quietly, stealthily, and without great bloodshed, but a coup nonetheless. Groundwork for the coup was laid over a period of decades, but the opportunity to act only came recently.

Under the cover of a widespread disease, mechanisms were put in place, including changes to laws, unconstitutional restrictions on movement, gatherings, and information exchange. Dissenting voices across the land were silenced, even that of a President. Election laws were changed or ignored to give the appearance that the coup was legitimate. Our cities were burned and looted to create fear and distraction. Our borders were cast open to an influx of the needy, the diseased, and to all manner of criminals. Our once vibrant economy that was creating new opportunities for all was brought to the brink of collapse by authoritarian edict in the name of saving us.

Consolidation of Power

As with such coups in history past, the perpetrators are working feverishly to consolidate their power before effective resistance can be mobilized to stop them. Numerous edicts have been issued by the presumptive leadership that have served only to further weaken our economy, establish government control over our businesses and livelihoods.

Just this week the administration created a Hobson’s choice situation where either more than ten million families could be rendered homeless, or a corresponding number of property owners would be bankrupted – all through government edict in direct violation of a Supreme Court ruling. It was even acknowledged that

After going through various scenarios, in which to right this fake admin’s wrong....beginning with impeachment of the fake Pres/VP and Speaker, to SCOTUS.....the author concludes with this possible solution....

....That provision resides in the 10th Amendment, the last of the Bill of Rights, which states:

” The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

This simple language empowers the States and the People to act to address unforeseen circumstances, such as a coup resulting from massive election fraud. It doesn’t matter if an election has been certified. The power of the 10th goes beyond the power of impeachment, beyond the power of legislative repeal, and even beyond the power of the Court. If we are truly to have a government of the people, then the people must hold ultimate power.

Remediation of fraud always involves restoration to the rightful parties that which was fraudulently obtained. Through a 10th Amendment action, the 2020 election could be declared null and void, all executive orders and signed legislation declared void, and the slate essentially wiped clean except for monies expended.

This approach is not without its own challenges, though. Not all states are likely to participate. It is probable that there would be a majority of states pursuing a 10th Amendment action, but only one would be sufficient as a sponsor. The principal value of a sponsor would be to make it difficult for the activities to be dismissed and “cancelled” by media actors. Arizona has demonstrated what a difference one courageous state can make. Florida and Texas are also doing their part.

The opposition would likely try to claim that remediation of fraud was somehow unconstitutional since the election is over and the results were certified. However, the Constitution only speaks to the conduct of elections by States, and removal of individual elected officials. It does not address removal of an entire administration that obtained power through fraud. That is clearly one of the unanticipated circumstances for which the 10th Amendment was written.

Undoubtedly, the fraudulent administration and its allies would attempt to put pressure on organizers of such a 10th Amendment effort. However, that would be of limited effectiveness since, unlike courts, leadership would be diffuse and spread across many States so there would be no single point of vulnerability. This is not to say that they would not fight with every tool at their disposal. We only need to look at what they stand to lose to know that it will be an epic struggle.

The 10th Amendment may be just what we need to save our country in its great hour of need. It is time to get the dialog started and to take action to preserve our Republic.

"Are you serious?"

I think he is serious. At the bars and restaurants in Ahwatukee people are betting on a revolution within 18 months.

Amazing how important the Constitution becomes when it serves their interests, and how obsolete and irrelevant it is otherwise.

The same can be said for Mr. Robb and his proposed solutions.

The real coup happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected and appointed swore in the Kenyan from Indonesia in direct violation of the Constitution.

Well, to paraphrase one commentator, If Kabul can fall so easily to a bunch of ragtag insurgents, why not Washington, DC? Does anybody believe the military rank and file will shoot Americans to protect this criminal and incompetent regime?

“Are you serious?“.

I see no problem with his logic. If you asked the founders to skip all the fluff about he Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. and just ask for a simple summary of our form of government by asking “who is ultimately in charge?” the government or the people?

The answer would be the people. The people always have the final say.

Many here will still argue.

Nope! Beg to differ. America made her decision and took the road she wanted to take when she acquiesced to the Coup that was executed and resulted with the Lying, Cheating, Thieving son of a bitch Joe Biden being ensconced in the White House in place of the Legitimate winner President Trump on January 20, 2021. America chose those who would All she has to do now is live with her choice. ravish her, rape, her, and in the end, destroy her. Rather than the one who build her up.

Mr. Robb is, IMO, not clear as to what the procedures and mechanisms would be for the implementation of "The power of the 10th" going beyond "the power of impeachment, beyond the power of legislative repeal, and even beyond the power of the Court."

The average American does not feel political pangs as do those of us who are to immersed in civic matters. They feel pain associated with curtailment of the lifestyles of the well-fed, dumb and happy. And it will take a whole bunch more of that to stop the current descent into socialist misery.

Some will, most won’t. Some are actually asked if they would, and following assignment depends on the answer.

We’re past the crossroads point, having already taken the wrong turn. It’s been a long time coming.
