“And
yet we have what purports, or professes, or is claimed, to be a contract—the
Constitution—made eighty years ago, by men who are now all dead, and who never
had any power to bind us, but which (it is claimed) has nevertheless bound
three generations of men, consisting of many millions, and which (it is
claimed) will be binding upon all the millions that are to come; but which
nobody ever signed, sealed, delivered, witnessed, or acknowledged; and which
few persons, compared with the whole number that are claimed to be bound by it,
have ever read, or even seen, or ever will read or see.”
~
Lysander Spooner (1971). “The collected works of Lysander Spooner”
Spooner wrote this quote in the 19th century, and since then, six more generations have been bound by
this bogus document, all without any consent. It is not possible for men to
consent without contract, and even so, as Spooner pointed out, it is also
impossible for any to make a binding contract that allows any surrender to any
other, whether individual or government, of his natural rights. Horrendous
things due to government dictatorial coercion are going on today, and this is
of vital importance, but I feel
it necessary to once again remind people that they are individuals with
inherent rights, and looking to government to understand or validate your
rights guarantees that you will have none.
Some
things irritate me more than others, but the screaming out that something the
government does is unconstitutional is at the top of the list. This
is not only an empty statement, but is one that expresses a lack of intellect,
and that exposes someone with little or no understanding of what rights entail.
The Constitution is simply a government document drafted by
politicians that were bent on creating a massively powerful central government
with little restriction. It has accomplished that mission many times over, and
given the totalitarian nature of this government during this flu season, any
that cling to such nonsense today deserve no sympathy for they have built their
own prisons.
Human
rights are natural, and cannot be defined, contracted, explained, or ruled on
by any men claiming to be the arbiters of natural rights. Sometimes I wonder
just how ignorant and gullible the general population has become, and if
critical thought has completely disappeared from view by all but the tiny
minority. How can so many believe that a piece of paper drafted by the
political class long, long ago can give rights to citizens? All government is
corrupt, all government is tyrannical, no government represents anything but
itself, and all government seeks power over others, so why do so many buy into
this idea that a piece of paper giving unlimited power to the most evil entity
on earth, could have anything whatsoever to do with rights or freedom?
The Constitution
was written and made “law of the land” by politicians who gained greatly due to
its passage. It is supposedly upheld by Congress, another bunch of criminal
politicians, it is sworn upon by all government enforcers, and interpreted and
arbitrated by a Supreme Court appointed by federal politicians for life. These
corrupt judges are part of the federal government, and beholding to it. They
have the final word, and they are simply politicians in government. In
other words, the federal government drafted and owns the Constitution, and it
has absolutely nothing to do with the natural rights of Americans, it is only a
tool used by government to oppress those that have been fooled into believing
that this piece of parchment is the basis for rights. Nothing could be more
asinine than this backward thinking.
As Americans cower in their self-made
prisons, as they are ordered to wear harmful masks, are not allowed to gather
together, are not allowed to work or do business, are forced in many cases to
be physically violated by “healthcare” goons, are not allowed to travel, are
monitored by drones, harassed by pathetic criminal cops, spied upon at every
level, or tattled on and “shamed’ by moronic and worthless citizens, do they
feel good about the fact that they have a constitution? Do any actually think
that they are protected by such fakery?
Until Americans can regain the small
amount of brain power necessary to understand basic rights, until they can
understand that they have no obligation whatsoever to comply with government
mandates, until they look around and see that they have become slaves, then
this coronavirus fraud will continue to worsen until breaking away from this
totalitarian abuse will be nearly impossible.
As I
wrote many years ago:
“I
think it necessary to discuss the real essence of freedom and liberty, and the
source of our rights. One would assume that this knowledge would be universal
and embedded in the hearts of men, but sadly that seems not to be the case. Our
natural rights are inherent because we are endowed with these rights due to our
own humanity. All natural human rights predate men, and include the right to
life, liberty and property, which encompass all our other rights. Therefore,
real freedom relies on the premise that so long as one does not harm or aggress
against another or his property, and does not infringe on another’s natural
rights, then he should be left alone to do as he sees fit.
In
order to be truly free, one has to have complete and total control of his life
and property. That means of course that none have a right to aggress against or
control any other. If freedom is evident, coercion and force are absent. That
means that real freedom cannot exist if involuntary restrictions are imposed on
the individual by any governing body.”
It is
time to completely stop being obedient to the state. It is time to say no to
all government mandates. It is time to open every business without any
restriction. It is time to fight back to regain any semblance of freedom, and
to spit in the face of government and it criminal enforcers.
