Please sir, may I have some more (freedom)? Part 3

Borrowing liberally from the Declaration of Independence (sometimes using its exact words) I want to make the case that the present US government is tyranical and must be altered or abolished.  Therefore its citizens, as is also verbalized in that document, should give serious consideration to the position that...

******************

...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.

Concerning the executive branch of the federal government:  The history of the present and most recent presidents of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states and their citizens. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

They have usurped power not granted by the Constitution and have exalted themselves above the Legislative and Judicial branches of government.

They have, in violation of the Constitution, ignored the legislative exclusivity of Congress, having created law through Executive Orders and Signing Statements.

They have wrongfully, whether through deliberate intent or negligence, allowed departments and agencies of the federal government to create regulation and law.

They have erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

They have created or allowed to exist unelected "Czars" to create despotic policies affecting all aspects of the daily lives of citizens.
They have continued to allow private bankers, acting in secret, to steal from the people the fruits of their labor through devaluation of the currency and increasing the money supply, creating price inflation.

Thus they have allowed the continued devaluation of the currency, creating money out of nothing, and fobidding the free exchange of goods and services between parties with any form of money which is not their fiat creation.

They have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdictions foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving their assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For funding a military-industrial complex that profits through undeclared, undefined, and open-ended wars against whatever enemy they wish to designate, even when that entity poses no threat to the security of the United States.

For stripping rights from anyone they desire by ascribing the label "enemy combatant" :

For depriving them, in many cases, the right to habeus corpus:

For depriving them in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting them beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For torturing them to extract information that may or may not have any validity:

For spying on the American people or entering their property without warrants:

For gathering information about Americans illegally:

For allowing the seizure of property without due process of law, often without any charges being filed, and then without returning or providing compensation for that property.

For militarizing and federalizing local police forces to enforce their tyranny and extract revenue from citizens:

For denying freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in many instances:

For continuing the process of making the 9th and 10th amendments to the constitution ineffectual:

For dictating to and procsecuting private citizens for how they transact business between themselves:

For dictating to and prosecuting citizens for what they do with their own physical bodies:

For forcing the people to pay for the sins and incompetency of others

Concerning the legislative branch of the federal government:  They have colluded with the executive branch to injure the people with all of the above.  They have ignored the enumerated consitutional limits on their authority and ability to make laws.  They have abdicated their responsibility to declare war.  They have abdicated their constitutional responsiblity to coin money from and control the weights and measures of gold and silver only as legal tender.  They have become entirely corrupt, enriching themselves and special interests with the plundered treasure of the people.

Concerning the judicial branch of the federal government:  They have colluded with the executive and legislative branches to injure the people with all of the above.  They have become a political body mirroring the two major political parties, often making decisions based upon their personal political  views rather than basing them on the original intent of the constitution.

All three branches have colluded to deny to the States the constitutional guarantee of a republican form of government.

And so much more!  The situation is intolerable and must change.  But sometimes our situation looks hopeless.  What is to be done?

To be continued...
