I hope you are sticking with this subject, it is important to understand to make sense of the efforts of the patriots and the black hats response to them.
Root Of The Current Corruption
In my opinion the corruption that has resulted is primarily rooted in American law dating back to our founding since it is based on British law, which is prone to manipulation and corruption as history has clearly shown the entire world. British leadership have sometimes been brutal oppressors of other peoples for many centuries. To support their aggression they needed a legal system to support it. Many of our founding fathers along with other military, business and government leaders were educated in the UK. Some went to law school there. They were all subjects under the Crown/Parliament in the colonies and the British legal and governmental system applied. Many of the colonists were loyalists (Tories) who became Federalists post war and strongly supported the related laws. Many of our founding fathers became highly successful attorneys and judges in elevated roles throughout the Colonies. Some were initially appointed to their roles by the Crown/Parliament and their designated leaders in the colonies.
The Federalist movement/political party won the battle to change from the Articles of Confederation as well as over some of the content of the Constitution that replaced them. Again, that change in governing documents may or may not have been necessary. To us in this time of American history, it just is what it became. What transpired about 235 years ago is a product that was negotiated and implemented that may have needed more thought and work put into it; unless it was designed intentionally with legal and operational “flaws” that could be bent as needed. I do not know that the latter point was the case, just that there is evidence of flaws in the document and system that developed from it from the outset.
In my personal opinion, they should have paid closer attention in particular to Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and related patriots who were balanced by close associations with other nations and peoples as well as to the dangers of excessive centralized control of a nation.
There is just way too much wiggle room for those who seek advantages over others that was not intended in the document. In many areas there are no defined limitations and boundaries. The methods to address abuse are too convoluted to be quickly handled or even addressed at all. Strong fences make for good neighbors while not having borders makes for chaos and corruption both literally on the ground and figuratively within governing documents.
Throughout the national formation turmoil, there was a large segment of colonists who stayed tightly connected to Great Britain while the majority of commoners and true patriot leaders fought the war for independence. Some of our population denied their future citizenry and remained subjects. Many were aristocrats and other loyalists. They did not like their wealth and standing in society negatively impacted by the rebellion and war. Many were compelled to leave, abandon their personal and business holdings, and go back to the UK both during and after independence was achieved. Beginning with the year the Treaty of Paris was signed (1783), even many of our patriot founding fathers went back for periods of time on their own volition to improve their personal health, visit family and friends, as well as foster business and political connections. With some, it was like nothing had happened of deadly consequence between them. Life had moved on.
Carry that latter approach to national allegiance of some citizens today. In 1967 dual citizenship was permitted in this country for the first time. What could possibly go wrong with being a citizen of two different countries? 😂 🤪
We only need to look at Great Britain’s system of government along with its horrible ethics and corruption that oppresses its own native citizenry today to know the path. It has not materially changed, it is still fundamentally the same game. Throughout mankind’s history we can see how systems of powerful nations have been slowly and gradually destroyed from within via “infiltration” versus “invasion” as Q put it. Today, the once proud British commoner citizens have been beaten into submission by their corrupt leaders and the unrestrained immigration and infiltration into government and judiciary.
So let’s have a little fun. This linked story is a short historical summary of the law in England and Wales going back 1000 years.
Many MAGA patriots would be big time in favor of bringing back the carrying of a red hot iron bar or their version of waterboarding to determine guilt. 😂 The following is a more thorough historical summary as it applies to the colonies leading up to the Revolutionary War period.
One thing is clear from the latter summary, the diversity of the customs and society of the nations of origin of the immigrants along with national allegiance by territory of settlement led to improvisation in the establishment of American common law. The “industry” of that day would take British law and mingle it with that of other nations they felt appropriate. The law that developed after trial and error (pun intended), was used for order and rights as well as for community and social issues. This evolution of the law during the period was still ultimately controlled by the Crown and Parliament.
So do we think that maybe, just maybe, the Brits might have known the strengths and weaknesses as well as the levers of control through the rules, procedures and practices they put in place in the system in the colonies? Do we think that maybe, just maybe that historical knowledge is being used even today within America’s federal government and judicial systems by our own version of loyalists and Federalists? Do we think maybe, just maybe that system of government, law and judiciary responses might be taught in America’s law schools and collegiate curriculum by those trained by our own version of loyalists and Federalists today?
The results of the Revolutionary War and subsequent ratification of the Constitution changed the path of development, but did not fundamentally change the foundation of the legal and judicial systems that were rooted in The British Way. Now what was it John Adams said about liberty? “But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”
Rules, procedures and practices are subtle, less noticed, but very effective ways to change a Constitution of Government from Freedom. They can be used in similar fashion as framing an argument is done in a debate. They establish the boundaries and emphasis without having the stated authority to do so. As long as people go along with it, the abusers have the opportunity to dictate the way the game is played.
Folks, the Brits have always been masters of infiltration. It was going on back in those days of Adams and the founders just like it is today. It is not a new concept. As a result it is OK for me to state the following since the Constitution says I can do so. 😃 The Constitution as written and amended has been unable to successfully defend against significant manipulation, corruption and violence committed against We the People over the centuries that followed. Just as John Adams indicated would be a problem if not handled well – the loss of liberty – we have experienced to various degrees as a reality from the struggles within our own borders.
Doubt it? How about some mundane recent examples? Did you socially distance, wear a mask, follow edicts and orders from government leaders, avoid going to church, not go to a beach or park, use delivery services instead of going to the store, buy truckloads of toilet paper and Lysol, and so on during the early days of COVID?
None of any related guidelines and mandates pushed down on citizens had a legal basis for the authority that was exercised. The same was true of the get jabbed or lose your job, or, you will not receive surgery in a hospital type dictates. People went along with it due to being job scared, having serious health issues, or just being unwilling to challenge government or employer authority.
Did your kids wear masks at school or stay home and be taught on-line? More dictates placed on the public without legal authority.
If you did any of those things and many more you were being manipulated by the federal government and its minions to reduce your liberty and hand them more control and money.
It seems it was not just the development and implementation of a great Constitution that was needed. It was also operating under same within the spirit and intention it was ratified with We the People having legal triggers to use to defend against government oppression when abused or attacked. The use of the second amendment is vitally important as the final act of rebellion against oppressors, however, would it not be much better for its use to never be needed because We the People could bring abuse to an end effectively before it starts or reaches a point of violent conflict?
That insufficient triggers exist has given cause for rebellion in various forms by We the People at times in our history. There are multiple types of rebellion, it does not always have to result in violence (unless you are a Democrat). Just like the Tea Party, MAGA is a direct rebellion against the ways of the current day versions of the American Crown/Parliament and its loyalists. For example, most of us know we are currently in a pitched battle with a branch of government, the judicial. We cannot let up on the attack against corrupted judiciary and those that defend it. Chief Justice Roberts can stick his statements about impeachment of judges up his azz. His opinion on the matter is no more valuable than mine. The provision to do so already exists in the governing document and law. He and his kind know that and are deflecting to retain power. They feel their subversion of the Constitutional framework will be exposed and they will no longer be entitled to being king makers and determiners of the fate of the nation.
To cut to the chase, one leg (Judicial) of the three legged stool is being made larger and stronger than the other two by the Cabal. If you can get that image in your mind, what happens to the other two when the weight of the stool sitter (us – We the People) gets shifted more onto them (Executive/Legislative)? The weight gets heavier and their weaknesses are exposed. The stronger leg then has more control over the stool.
The SCOTUS of about 40 years ago gave us the Chevron Deference decision, which contributed to an explosion of regulations with corresponding rules, procedures and practices devised by agency bureaucrats and their legal staffs that has made life miserable for many citizens. In essence, for 40 years SCOTUS and the judicial branch said we really don’t want to work that hard on deciding cases in accordance with law, let the bureaucrats run things. So they gave our nation a system that facilitated a more flexible and responsive regulatory framework through what was known as the “Chevron Two-Step” process. The courts would determine if the intent of Congress on a matter was clear; if not, they would decide if the agency’s interpretation was reasonable.
Nah, nothing arbitrary and subjective about that at all. 🤪 Again, 40 years of it before the current SCOTUS ended it. The damage to our nation and We the People was far reaching and immeasurable. That it was allowed to exist created downstream opportunities for even more agency overreach through rules, procedures and practices. Ending their use even after the correction cannot be accomplished quickly. It takes hard work from dedicated reformers.
There are many excellent patriotic justices, judges and attorneys in this nation. They judge ethically and legally without making it all about themselves. Because they do their jobs well the media says nothing about them. The key for We the People is to empower and openly support their efforts, to do things legally as intended, and to kill the corruption using the Constitutionally supported law while having an America First Legislature codify the gains.
In every one of the federal agencies and sub-agencies there are rules, procedures and practices established by legal staffs and bureaucrats. Most are further supported by judicial bureaucracy (some say judicial tyranny). This is true in all 450+ of them. From those spring legitimate and criminal business, banking, and political connections that extend internationally like tentacles. So what was once supposed to be limited government (H/T Steve), has become the creature from the deep that is to be feared worldwide with central bankers and globalists in control. It seems the globalist cabal never really left American life, they just evolved their methodology to maintain power.
Let’s take a look at one of the most corrupt, embarrassing, and damaging federal government and judiciary scams of our times over eight years later. The horrible damage to our nation and citizens has already been done; so now it is going to be about retribution. Although satisfying, would it not have been far better to have never experienced Russiagate at all?
We have all seen POTUS Trump use his deep knowledge of history as a frame of reference for what he does on behalf of our nation. What other major world leader has a similar frame of reference and understanding of history related to the nation he leads?
Yup – Putin. Sort of explains the direction of diplomacy recently, doesn’t it?
All of the opposition who have been enjoying the rip off know that going back to original intent and cleaning up the deficiencies destroys their power base and money train. Original intent means that we exist and operate under the Providence of God in accordance with our founding documents as the Declaration of Independence directly states. Among many other noble activities the patriots are doing is removing the corrupted ties that bind relating to the oppressive rules, procedures and practices. That takes away the enemy’s access to our money, power, and LIBERTY.
Which is why we see the war raging around us. Any and all other methods to address our challenges will be fruitless. The vision and implementation must have pure motives in accordance with what We the People declared at our founding. The Declaration of Independence is still the vision and mission statement of America. Without question it is the world’s most successful national mission statement. All we need to do as patriots is remain true to the words contained within.
For many years this nation has been wandering between the wicked ways of the world provided by those that have oppressed for many centuries and those who support and reside in God’s kingdom. This is true in many other nations of the world as well. We cannot continue to serve the carnal desires of man instead of God and thrive. We are in a strong position of influence in the world if we can be successful in our efforts.
The Part 1 posts that started this subject reflect that struggle. We should always ascribe to the higher purpose. The Geddes post describes a modern day exercise in futility that the Pharisees and Sadducees with all of their scribes in Israel during the time of Jesus would be quite proud to have debated and delivered to the oppressed. In my Christian mind I see that The Talmud they constructed came into existence because the religious leaders who influenced and controlled the daily lives of the people as well as their supporting lawyers were not content that God’s Word had provided sufficient content. They wanted more authority and riches, so they added more rules, procedures and practices.
When these current day oppressors attempt to do the same, do not go along to get along.
Lord Mansfield
So who is this Lord Mansfield that Geddes references?
https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Murray-1st-Earl-of-Mansfield
How did he influence American law centuries after his death? Read this quote from that linked biography. I have left the links in should you decide to learn more about the referenced terms.
Mansfield’s permanent stamp upon Anglo-American law lies in commercial law. When he mounted the bench, at the start of the Seven Years’ War that was to fasten Britain’s grasp upon America, India, and international trade, English law was land-centred and landbound in outlook and entrenched in professional tradition. Reform was imperative. Mansfield’s vision and ambition reached beyond the continental model of a special body of rules for commerce and banking. He sought to make the international law of commerce not a separate branch but an integral part of the general law of England, both common law and equity, using the leverage thus gained to pry loose from feudalism whole blocks of other rules that had little or no direct commercial bearing. An important part of this brilliant venture succeeded.
Anglo-American Law is common law. This is the law in America that has evolved from the British system that is built on judicial precedents and case law that does not solely rely on statutory law. America was a new territory for the expansionist Crown/Parliament. Their subject colonists needed incentive to tame the wilds, so a degree of autonomy was given to do so. They wanted the colonies to become a feeder of wealth. So a colonies version of common law developed under the umbrella of the British system. Lord Mansfield was instrumental in its development in America in the area of common law and in particular, commercial law. I encourage you to read the following link if you are serious about understanding what you see playing out in the judiciary in front of your very eyes today. It is not a hard read.
The following two paragraphs from the above referenced link are huge. Think about them.
While the federal Constitution did not adopt the common law as a general rule of decision, many of its specific provisions were of common law origin. In its delineation of the separation of powers, the Constitution incorporated common law limitations upon the prerogative and Parliament which had been honored in England and disregarded in the colonies. The bill of rights, adopted in part because of doubts about the existence and efficacy of a federal common law, codified specific common law procedural rights accorded the criminally accused. It also incorporated common law protections of more fundamental interests, including that basic guarantee of reason and fairness in governmental action, the right to due process of law.
Most important, the common law process has enabled the federal judiciary to attain its intended position in the constitutional plan. Chief Justice John Marshall’s opinion in marbury v. madison (1803), asserting judicial power to review legislation and declare it unconstitutional, was founded on the common law obligation of courts to apply all the relevant law, including the Constitution, in deciding cases. A declaration of unconstitutionality in one case is effective in other similar situations because of the force of precedent. In refining Marbury ‘s principle, the Supreme Court more recently has developed the doctrine of justiciability, designed to establish in constitutional cases the existence of a truly adversary case or controversy, to which decision of a constitutional issue is necessary. Together, these rules, by proclaiming that the federal courts are confined to the traditional common law judicial role, provide both legitimacy and effectiveness to court enforcement of the Constitution’s limits upon the powers of the other branches and the states.

Fire alarm bells just went off!
We now enter into a different three legged stool discussion and illustration. Not only is our federal government designed as one, the Judicial branch in America has one for its system of operation and judgments. The legs are statutory, judicial precedents, and case law.
So what leg do they ignore or deemphasize if they can achieve desired responses from the other two? Yup, statutory. The other two deal with activities where rules, procedures and practices they institute can achieve desired results as long as statutory does not get in the way.
This shiz cannot keep happening and still have a viable, healthy country.
The Answer
Do you see any resemblance to the current SCOTUS or judiciary in the lofty statements made in those paragraphs in bold that were quoted from the last linked article? Truly, despite a few recent victories it is embarrassing how far removed the opinions and rulings have been for a very long time. Countless SCOTUS and federal judiciary decisions made along political party lines, cultural influences, social hot buttons and so on have been the rule rather than the exception for decades. As just one example, look at the timing of the initial Roe v. Wade decision and coordinated CIA orchestrated push to loosen social mores and values. Did it ultimately build a better society and bring people together? We now know the answer with certainty. When it came time to remove its impact it took a turn by the SCOTUS toward enumerated powers to change it. None of that would have happened without MAGA and POTUS Trump.
Today, we are watching it play out in real time with the removal of illegals. Something that a child could understand is being made into a major mess by the Judicial branch and corrupted federal government.
Those examples are more visible and macro in nature. What about the countless Martin Geddes type micro injustices here in America nationwide? Do we really want all of that on our consciences? As a result and in answer to the question of what can we do Constitutionally to stop the madness, in my opinion Wolf stated what our collective, MAGA, America First response should be perfectly.
“So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.“
🇺🇸 👊
If We the Patriots can DOGE the crap out of all government there is a declining ability to wage war against We the People via swamp critter bureaucracy, lawfare and propaganda. The money dries up as do the cases and precedents of two of the legs of the stool that the enemy can use to play the lawfare game and attempt to swing the balance in their direction. When the enemy is busy destroying themselves, let them. They have been using up quite a bit of their ammunition lately with very few wins. So let’s keep the pressure on and force their hands.
We the People should never disregard or ignore history in understanding the foundation of the same laws that are being abused. The spilled blood of patriots demands our full attention and response.
Stay tuned, we will continue to drill down on this and related subjects as we progress.
Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.
Be blessed and go make something good happen!
