The 2015 Declaration of Independence
By Thomas Jefferson and Russell D. Longcore
(Editor's Note: I wrote this in 2009.)
I have long contemplated the imminent collapse of the US Federal Government. In light of the insane, unconstitutional spending of the Congress and Presidents (ALL will spend the same ways), the recession/depression that the nation is presently experiencing, and the simultaneous devaluation and inflation of the nation's currency, collapse is the only consequence that makes sense.
Ask the Soviet Union. Oh…excuse me…they're gone! The USSR collapsed from identical causes in 1991, and the Soviet states once again became sovereign nations.
So, what will individuals and states do? Will they preemptively forsake the Union, or wait to react once the Federal Government collapses? Common sense should dictate the serious debate of secession prior to collapse. However, I do remember that the legislatures of the States are filled with politicians. Reaction seems more likely than forward planning, especially from those who have long suckled at the Federal teat.
I took the original Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, and added wording to customize it for the present day. Please read it carefully and contemplate its meaning and its ramifications. My new version still needs more work, but it is a place to start.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to dissolve the political and governmental institutions under which they have governed themselves, and institute new government deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the institution of the new form of government.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their liberty, safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these free citizens and sovereign states; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present United States Federal Government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these free citizens and sovereign states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
In 1861, the United States declared war upon the Confederate States of America, a confederation of sovereign states that lawfully seceded from the Union and formed a government to provide new guards for their future security. The CSA was defeated in that war by the armies of the United States and the Union was unlawfully maintained:
The US Federal Government has enacted unconstitutional laws and authorized unconstitutional spending and the creation and funding of unconstitutional Federal agencies. It has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. It has imposed taxes on us without our consent:
The US Federal Government has borrowed so many trillions of dollars that the amount can never be repaid.
The US Federal Government created the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Security Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Homeland Security Administration, which are unconstitutional usurpations of the powers of the people and the states guaranteed in the 10th Amendment:
The US Federal Government created the Transportation Security Administration, which is a clear violation of the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. The actions of the TSA violate the 4th Amendment, which protects citizens from illegal search and seizure without warrant based upon probable cause:
The US Federal Government created the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the gigantic Federal Income Tax Code, violating Article I of the Constitution:
The US Federal Government has violated Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution in which Congress may raise and support an army, but no appropriation to that use shall be more than two years. The US Federal Government has established hundreds of military bases on American soil, quartering large bodies of armed troops among us, violating the 3rd Amendment. Additionally, it has established over one hundred military bases in other sovereign nations around the world:
The US Federal Government is at this time retaining large armies of domestic and foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the lawful government of a civilized nation:
The US Federal Government has deprived certain individuals of the benefits of trial by jury by transporting certain individuals beyond seas to be jailed and tortured for pretended offenses, violating the principle of Habeas Corpus and the 5th Amendment of the Constitution:
The US Federal Government has enacted laws infringing upon the right of the people to keep and bear arms, an overt violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution:
The US Federal Government, through enacting the Patriot Act of 2001, has violated the 4th Amendment's strictures on privacy and protection against illegal search and seizure. It has violated the 5th Amendment guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law:
The US Federal Government, through enacting the Patriot Act of 2001, has violated the 6th Amendment guarantees that in criminal prosecutions, the accused shall the right to a speedy and public trial, be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, and be confronted by the witnesses against him:
The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007, places all governmental power in the hands of the President and effectively abolishes the checks and balances in the Constitution:
The US Federal Government established the Federal Reserve, a consortium of private banks, to manage and manipulate the currency of the United States. This violates Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution which provides Congress authority to coin money and regulate its value. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional:
The Federal Reserve has created massive inflation since its inception in 1913 by issuing paper money that has no underlying value in gold and silver. Because of the attempts of the Federal Reserve to manipulate the American economy, it created an abnormal cycle of boom and recession:
In 2008, the US Federal Government approved trillion-dollar financial bailouts to financial institutions and private companies, a clear violation of Article I, Section 8 and the 10th Amendment of the Constitution:
The US Federal Government has prosecuted unlawful and unconstitutional wars, including wars in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Bosnia, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, violating Article I, Section 8, which grants the power to declare war only to Congress:
The US Federal Government created the Social Security Administration in 1935, a clear violation of the Article I, Section 8, and the 10th Amendment:
The US Federal Government, though its Judicial Branch, has altered legislation and created law, in violation of Article III of the Constitution:
The US Federal Government has obligated the United States to membership in the United Nations, and combined with other nations to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and superior by treaty to our laws; giving its assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
The US Federal Government has usurped the powers reserved to the States in the 10th Amendment as it relates to immigration and naturalization. It has obstructed the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and altered the conditions of lawful immigration of foreign persons:
The US Federal Government has altered fundamentally the forms of our government guaranteed to the free citizens and states by the Constitution of the united States of America. The Constitution guarantees a republic form of government, but the US Federal Government is a fascist mercantilist police state.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. An institution of government, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define tyranny, is unfit to be the designated and chosen government of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of the United States Federal Government. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their actions to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common citizenship to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt the quiet enjoyment of our citizenship and liberty. They have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the free citizens of the several, sovereign and united States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do solemnly publish and declare, that these States are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the presently established United States Federal Government, and that all political connection between them and the United States Federal Government, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. The free citizens of the several, sovereign states reject and absolve themselves from any and all bonds between themselves and any other sovereign state under the Constitution of the United States. Those free citizens and their representatives in the sovereign States do now and should immediately cease collecting and forwarding all Federal taxes, tariffs or fees of any and every kind to the United States Federal Government.
And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

FRONA Protects Human Life
(Editor's Note: FRONA is The Free Republic Of North America, that mythical land of liberty, borne of secession of one of the US States. I always envision FRONA as a seceded Texas. The author is the creator of FRONA. There is a link in this article that will start you on your adventure learning about FRONA and why it is the freest place on Planet Earth.)
If you learned 20th Century history in school, you likely learned that the Nazis did medical experiments on Jews and Gypsies. You likely were taught that the US Federal Government did medical experimentation on black men. Well, here is a story that makes those tales seem in comparison like a trip to a candy store.
The news is full of stories these days about Planned Parenthood (PP), the so-called "family planning" organization. The Center for Medical Progress* has been recording perfectly legal videos of PP staffers…discussing how PP is harvesting body parts from aborted fetuses (real human babies) and selling those parts to research labs. Apparently, it is a profitable revenue source for PP. And Planned Parenthood is largely funded by Congress…and you. PP receives over $500 million in funds each year from Congress.
This horrifying story is the blowback…the unintended consequences…of a government gone morally bankrupt. The Supreme Court of the USA decided in 1973 that abortion was a Constitutionally-protected right. Since that date, over 57.5 MILLION babies have been murdered in the womb, according to The Guttmacker Institute. And Congress has essentially done NOTHING in the ensuing 42 YEARS to protect the natural rights of the unborn. But also, the American people have callously turned their backs on their own babies and allowed Congress and the Court to get away with this.
There are 56 world nations with populations of less than 57.5 million. Topping the list is South Korea, with about 50 million. So the number of murdered babies in the USA is larger than the entire population of South Korea in 2015. A sobering thought, isn't it?
In the Free Republic of North America (FRONA), the Charter, which is FRONA's Constitution, is written specifically to protect human life…ALL human life. The entire raison d'être of FRONA is to protect individual liberty, property rights, and the unalienable rights of human beings.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote of "certain Unalienable Rights" in the Declaration of Independence, he placed them in the proper order, with Life being the first and most basic of all. This is the right to simply exist as a sentient being…one able to perceive sensations, a consciousness. Unalienable rights come into being at the moment that a human becomes a human. I do not mean when the individual becomes a viable human, capable of life outside the womb. Both sides of the abortion issue agree that a zygote…a human female egg fertilized by a male sperm…is human, and that every day after it becomes an embryo for about 270 days it is human. Our right to life means our right to express our humanness and to simply be alive. The opposite is the death of a human being. The right to life gets very complicated, since none of us were able to leave the womb and live without assistance, sustenance and support. An argument about embryonic and fetal viability here entirely and intentionally misses the point, since even post-birth humans need daily care until at least age 10 or they will likely die. So along with our own innate right to life, we acknowledge our responsibility to assist other human life to exist and express itself.
Abraham Maslow, in his Hierarchy of Needs, pointed to the need of breathing, food, water, sleep, sex, homeostasis and excretion. They are all part of maintaining life, and without any one of those needs, life would eventually stop. Note here that the right of life is seldom exercised individually, but is inextricably tied to the lives of others.
So in FRONA, abortion is expressly prohibited except to save the mother from death. And the act of abortion, except for that one exception, is written into the criminal code of the Charter as first degree murder, punishable by death.
FRONA citizens who desire an abortion must leave the country to get one. But don't worry. The rest of America is abortion-friendly. Go kill your children there.
DumpDC. Six Letters That Will Change History.
*The Center for Medical Progress, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is a group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances. They are concerned about contemporary bioethical issues that impact human dignity, and they oppose any interventions, procedures, and experiments that exploit the unequal legal status of any class of human beings. They envision a world in which medical practice and biotechnology ally with and serve the goods of human nature and do not destroy, disfigure, or work against them. (quotation from their website.)

DumpDC Endorses Hillary Clinton For President
Yep. You read it right. DumpDC is endorsing Hillary for President.
Our Next President?
Now, let me lay out my argument so you can see the genius of this position.
Remember that the overarching reason for the existence of DumpDC is to promote state secession from the United States of America. So if you are reading this article, expecting me to promote the health and wellness of the USA, stop reading right now. You will not find that here.
The accepted premise for the every-four-year presidential dance is to find the best person to be President. Isn't it? But out of 320 million people, there are usually only about 20 or less that take it seriously enough to commit to becoming a potential candidate. Most assuredly, these candidates cannot be the best the nation has to offer.
Are these few people TRULY the best, most qualified candidates to become President of the United States? How do Americans determine who is best? How does each political party determine who is best?
There seems to be a separation here between perception and reality. Most VOTERS think that the President is the leader of the entire Washington government, the embodiment of the Executive branch of the Constitutional government, the leader of the political party from which he/she springs, and the leader of the nation. And who would be the best person to occupy this Oval Office chair? Wouldn't it be the person who sticks most closely to the Constitution, our founding document?
Let's not bullshit each other here. Let's acknowledge the reality of how DC works. The elected officeholders in Congress and in the White House all take an oath of office in which they swear to "protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." Then they spend most of their time violating that Constitution.
They vote to spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually that are authorized nowhere in the Constitution. They enact unconstitutional laws. They created gigantic bureaucracies that over time have mushroomed into the liberty-stealing, money-wasting, entitlement-growing leviathans we have all come to despise. They foment wars and conflict all over the globe as an extension of Washington's foreign policy. And finally, they work in concert to spread inflation around the planet by borrowing and spending more and more and more.
So, if we are going to be intellectually honest about the workings of Washington DC, and the kind of person who makes it work the way it actually works…we need to stop seeking candidates who SAY they support the Constitution. We need to look at those candidates' experience…not what they SAY, but what they have actually done in their political careers. And therefore, we need to find the candidate or candidates whose experience most closely matches HOW WASHINGTON ACTUALLY WORKS.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present for your consideration, the most qualified candidate for the Presidency of the United States in the past 50 years…
Hillary Clinton.
Just look at this resume.
Hillary grew up in the home of a politically active Republican, her father Hugh Rodham. She was also a volunteer in the campaigns of Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. So she has been on both sides of the political landscape.
Wellesley College feminist – got a BA in Political Science. Her senior thesis was a critique of the writings of Socialist political activist Saul Alinsky, who wrote the book "Rules For Radicals" in 1971. Hillary begins her migration into being a government "policy wonk."
Yale law degree – by 1972, she had moved philosophically to the Democratic Party, and she and her fiancé Bill Clinton worked on the campaign staff for Presidential candidate George McGovern. She and Bill married in 1975.
Partner in Rose Law Firm – by 1975 Bill was Arkansas Attorney General, and she joined the prestigious Rose Law Firm. She worked mostly on intellectual property law and patent infringement. So she has a smattering of experience of actually owning a business.
Governor's wife – Bill becomes Governor of Arkansas in 1978. She was First Lady of Arkansas for twelve years. Governors are the CEO of a state, much like a President, and during those twelve years, she was an insider to running state government.
First Lady of the United States – Bill became president in 1993, and for eight years, Hillary is First Lady. Once again, a cunning lawyer is at the apex of power…without having to get elected. But by now, she is an old hand at statewide and national campaigning, having campaigned with Bill for decades.
New York Senator – Another campaign, this time for herself, which she wins handily in 2000. She keeps her Senate seat until 2008.
Presidential Candidate – Hillary campaigns for the Democratic Presidential candidacy in 2008. Barack Obama wins, she loses. She tastes defeat.
Secretary of State – In a brilliant political move, Obama picks her as his Secretary of State. Obama neuters a political enemy and she becomes the face of US foreign policy all over the planet. No other candidate has this kind of diplomatic experience.
Immune to Scandal – Remember all the "bimbo eruptions" of Bill's presidential candidacy? Remember Gennifer Flowers? Remember the murder of Vince Foster? Remember Benghazi? Remember Monica Lewinski and Bill's blow jobs in the Oval Office? Remember the email hard drive that she had wiped clean to destroy any evidence against her unlawful use of an email account other than the State Department account? There is no scandal so low or tawdry that it will divert Hillary from what she wants. In a government in which most of what you do is unlawful, a conscience is a bother.
Unencumbered by Conscience – refer back to the last paragraph. Scandals like Benghazi and the murder of Vince Foster point to a political sociopath of world-class proportion. And remember… ALL politicians are sociopaths. Read this link. link Politician Personality Disorder aka Sociopathy If the perfect Presidential candidate is an advanced sociopath, Hillary is your girl.
Let's Look At Hillary's Competition.
I will not go though the individual candidates, but let's consider them as a group. There will be a couple Governors, which will be OK, since each of them was a state CEO. There might be a Vice President. There are a few Senators, have not been in the Senate very long. There may arise a Congressman or two. And there might even be a doctor who thinks he wants to be President, and has absolutely no experience whatsoever.
NOT ONE of the Republican candidates is serious about radically transforming Washington into a place that honors the Constitution. If even ONE of the candidates pledged to return DC to only spending money authorized by the Constitution, he might be worth support. But you and I know that every one of the Republican candidates wants to attain the Presidency of the US…just as it is, without much change. And even if one of the candidates DID make Constitutionality his cause, 535 members of Congress would fight it, along with every lobbyist who makes his living from unconstitutional spending.
Any Democratic Party candidates will flog the same issues that Hillary does, so then the Dem race becomes a popularity contest.
The Conclusions
1.	The Federal Government in Washington is going to collapse when the US Dollar is replaced as the world reserve currency.
2.	State secession is the highest and best solution to end statism and re-institute individual liberty and property rights.
3.	Bringing DC to collapse as soon as possible will cause secession.
4.	In order to accelerate the collapse, the best president will be the person who is the most pro-government and most anti-liberty.
Hillary Clinton is the obviously superior candidate to accelerate and preside over the end of the United States Of America.
DumpDC enthusiastically supports Hillary Clinton For President.

Promoting The Power Of The Sword
Secessionist movements are found in many states. But with the exception of the groups in the state of Texas, most groups are not getting much traction with the populace. Organizations such as Freedom Texas, The Republic of Texas and The Texas Nationalist Movement have been very successful in promoting Texas statehood, and are well known for their effectiveness. But petition drives, printed flyers and radio spots may not be the best way to promote secession.
Today, I would like to offer an idea to help ALL the secessionist organizations promote state secession as well as to promote The Power of the Sword.
As I wrote in Secession and the Power of the Sword 2015, openly promoting militias during the death throes of the United States government in Washington DC could be considered domestic terrorism. But the states need to begin training militias NOW.
How might that be done in a low-key way?
What is the one common denominator of militias? At its most fundamental level, self defense relies upon firearms. At its most fundamental level, the militia relies upon every militia member being trained to be a rifleman. Look at what Switzerland has done with their militias. Citizens keep battle rifles at their homes, and are required to be qualified rifleman.
I recommend that each secessionist movement take upon itself the holy calling of training people in the use of firearms.
~ Sponsor pistol and rifle shooting events far and wide.
~ Become sponsors of shooting events that are being held by groups such as the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
~ Work with every gun shop and sporting goods retailer in the state that sells firearms and supplies. ~ Make sure you are a sponsor…not just an exhibitor…at every gun show that happens in your state.
~ Sponsor firearm training classes at very indoor and outdoor shooting range in your state. Pay the fee for people that want to take the class but cannot afford the fee.
Then, at every event, talk about state secession.
People talk to their friends about their experiences, both enjoyable and not. Make the use of firearms enjoyable and people will talk. Now, they have both a good memory and a good new idea. You now have a new friend of firearms and possibly a new friend of the ideas of militia and secession.
And you have added all those names and addresses to your database.
Between now and the collapse of DC, the secessionist movements of America can make tremendous inroads with the people who will be most directly affected by that very collapse.
Don't wait another day, Secessionists. Find a gun shop, a gun show, or shooting organization and get DEEPLY INVOLVED. Control your own destiny. Get moving.

Secession And The Power of the Sword 2015
by Russell D. Longcore, Owner and Editor of DumpDC, president of Abigail Morgan Austin Publishing Company
(Editor's Note: I wrote this article in February 2010 for the first time. It was WAY ahead of its time then. But we are now five years down the road toward the collapse of the Washington power structure and rogue government. So this updated article is a bit of new perspective along with some of the original article.)
Few people, even patriots…truly understand how close America is to an economic collapse. And when it comes…not IF it comes…every person will be affected in some way. A tiny minority will be prepared, and everyone else will suffer…many will die and die ugly.
I see my friends and fellow travelers in the Liberty movements and the Secession movements vigorously promoting State Secession. But there seems to be an elephant in the room at every gathering…an elephant that few are willing to acknowledge or talk about.
The elephant in the room is military preparedness for a state on the brink of secession, or a newly seceded state/nation. I have heard some of the leaders in state nationalist movements shy away from talking about militias and military preparedness. I have heard speeches where those leaders distance themselves from any notion that the secessionists might have to take up arms and fight. And I certainly understand the sense of self-preservation that motivates those leaders. If the DC regime labels you a "domestic terrorist" or an "enemy of the state," your life can be drastically altered or ended. And when the label "terrorist" has no real meaning, and can mean anything that DC wants it to mean, it's best to stay off their drone radar screens.
But at some point, the militia MUST be discussed. And at some point, the militia MUST be created and military preparedness MUST be addressed.
My friends at the website Western Rifle Shooters Association talk about preparedness all the time. But is their talk getting down to the real nitty gritty? I believe it is. I believe that the leaders there are quietly preparing the militia leaders that will be needed when the shyt hits the fan.
There is an absolute requirement of a seceding state to wield the Power of the Sword.
The Power of the Sword I speak of here is the State Militia. A seceding state MUST FIRST establish its own military, and the best form of a military for a new nation is a citizen militia.¹
Over the past 20-30 years, the only stories you might have seen in the media about militias were slanted toward gun-toting, camo-wearing crazies who preach white power, or overthrow of Washington, or some other nutty philosophy. But you will be hard pressed to find a serious treatment of the function of a state militia anywhere in the media. So, the very word "militia" has been tainted and associated with kooks. Believe me, that was their very intent.
Anyone who believes in big government cannot abide the idea that each state should have a "well-regulated militia." The two entities…big government and state sovereignty exhibited through military resistance…are forever at enmity with each other. Brute force wins every time, and big government is the personification of brute force.
The militia of today will not look like the standing armies of the nations of the world. They will be guerrilla fighters. Look at what the Afghans did to the American armies. Look at what the non-state ISIS fighters are doing all over the Arab world. Look at what the Chechens have done to Russia over the past 30 years. Look at what the Irish Republican Army did to the British occupiers in Ireland. 4th Generation Warfare has made standing armies anachronistic. Tanks won't win a secession firefight, but IEDs probably will.
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution was supposed to guarantee the existence of state militias. Instead, Washington has inundated Americans with the very laws and regulations that violated the Amendment and purposely infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms. But Washington has always been much less concerned with citizens' rights to carry concealed weapons than they are committed to stripping the states of their militias. It's simply that they pulled a Harry Houdini sleight-of-hand ploy. They diverted the attention of the masses over weapons bans, assault rifle restrictions and concealed carry laws…and all the while, militias disappeared in all 50 states.
And as I said, the secessionists are deathly afraid of the topic of militias as armed resistance. Serious, substantive discussion about the re-formation and revitalization of the state militia is off-limits in most circles of the secessionist movement. I have likened this fear to posting a "No Guns In Our House" sign in your front lawn. You may be committed to non-violence, but the criminals aren't.
It is not reasonable to believe that Washington will simply benignly accept the secession of ANY state. It is not reasonable to believe that DC's lawyers and bureaucrats will negotiate with ANY seceding state in good faith to accomplish a peaceful separation. It is not reasonable to believe that Federal courts will uphold any legal effort at secession. It is whistling past the graveyard.
By the secessionists assuming the kneeling, cowering position of non-resistance, DC already knows that talk about state secession is an example of "big hat, no cattle." This is also the main reason that Washington is not threatened by the "Tea Party" rallies. When Washington calls the bluff of the secessionists and says "put up or shut up," all you will hear is crickets chirping from the state secession movements.
That is, secession movements in states without well-regulated militias.
The Founders of the United States, those men who signed the Declaration of Independence, knew that by affixing their signatures to that sacred document, they had signed their own death warrants. They knew that they would be hung for treason if captured. In this present-day environment in which Washington sees a terrorist lurking in every shadow, and each terrorist perceived as a threat to Washington's very existence, secessionist leaders in every state will have a bulls-eye on their chests.
I've said time and time again that the timing of secession is everything. I've said that the best time for secession is after the coming economic meltdown. True enough. But no matter what happens with the dollar, no matter how bad the economy gets, Washington will still have a core of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine personnel that will obey orders. They will still own tanks and helicopter gunships and jet fighters and warships. There will be a core of law enforcement personnel in every state that are willing to enforce Federal law with deadly force.
Washington's going to take secession efforts very personally. Remember…the Washington government is staffed with CRIMINALS that have been shaking down the states and We The People for 150 years. Even in the face of a worthless Dollar, they will not go away quietly. The wildest of the wild cards is the Dollar. If DC's currency collapses, all bets about Washington's ability to crush secession are off. They may be unable to fend off a challenge to their ownership of the states. But none of us knows what will happen on that day.
In the past, I have focused your attention on the secession of 1989, when the Soviet Union dissolved and the 15 republics of the USSR became sovereign nations once again. I have held hope that such a relatively non-violent separation could occur here in the United States. But that faint hope is fast ebbing in me. I fear that the criminal government class in Washington is staffed with much more desperate criminals than the ones that held together the Soviet Union.
I do not believe that there is a chance in Hell that secession from the United States of America can succeed without any seceding state FIRST revitalizing its citizen militia. Brute force only respects the resistance of an equal or superior brute force. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be blood spilled for liberty again.
If you disagree with me, I invite you to write with your arguments.
Then the future will show us which of us is right.
Secession is the Hope for Mankind. Who will be first…and wisest?
¹Vieira also wrote compellingly about militias. Find his articles at: News With Views. There are a bunch of them.
