Here is an immortal statement every independent thinking person should frame, hang on the wall, and re-read often—
Gerry Spence, American lawyer: “Everyone wants to argue. Everyone does. Everyone needs to.” “While birds can fly, only humans can argue. Argument is the affirmation of our being. It is the principal instrument of human intercourse. Without argument the species would perish. As a subtle suggestion, it is the means by which we aid another. As a warning, it steers us from danger. As exposition, it teaches. As an expression of creativity, it is the gift of ourselves. As a protest, it struggles for justice. As a reasoned dialogue, it resolves disputes. As an assertion of self, it engenders respect. As an entreaty of love, it expresses our devotion. As a plea, it generates mercy. As charismatic oration it moves multitudes and changes history. We must argue — to help, to warn, to lead, to love, to create, to learn, to enjoy justice — to be.”
VOTE FRAUD:
Contesting the election on the issue of vote fraud is not a violation of “playing fair” and “accepting results” and “remaining calm.” It is an argument being made. It is also a question of fact.
What is unhinged is demanding a smooth transition from one president to another, since it is the news networks who made the projection of a Biden victory, and it is those same networks who are featuring the need for that smooth transition “in a democracy.”
“We project Biden as the winner. Therefore it is a mathematical certainty. Therefore, do not resist. We are in charge.”
THAT’S the banana republic.
That’s the military busting in the door and taking over the radio station…except there is no need for the military, because the networks are the radio station.
Here are a few comments, based on my observation of a vote-count in the LA County Registrar building, when I ran for a seat in the US Congress in 1994.
EVERYTHING BECOMES ELECTRONIC.
Paper ballots, mail-in ballots, punch cards, touch-screen—it all goes into the hopper. It’s all translated into computer sub-totals and totals.
There are various stops along the way, where the numbers are transferred into other machines and systems.
Fraud can occur anywhere during this route.
As an observer standing there, in various rooms, staring at machines, you see nothing on that level of fraud. How could you?
Only real pros can tackle the job of discovering electronic/computer fraud, and I’m not even approaching the fraud that can occur earlier, inside touch-screens in voting booths.
I’m not trying to downgrade any of the discoveries people have made so far that point to vote fraud—which include software/electronic fiddling. Startling crimes have already come to light. And yes, as a close-up observer in a counting room, you can spot obvious felonies. But never ignore what you can’t see.
I don’t know how competent and skillful Trump’s lawyers are. I don’t know how determined they are. They need to be relentless. They need to be counting how many votes they’re trying to overturn. A few minor victories aren’t going to matter.
LAWYERS GROUP and COVID VACCINE:
Here is another group of lawyers; the New York Bar Association. On November 7, as the New York Law Journal reports: “The New York State Bar Association on Saturday passed a resolution urging the state to consider making it mandatory for all New Yorkers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination when a vaccine becomes available, even if people object to it for ‘religious, philosophical or personal reasons’.”
In case you think this resolution has anything to do with the law, think again. Yes, the Bar Association is criminally convinced the State has the Constitutional power to force a vaccine on the population, but their resolution is recommending the State should actually do it. That’s not law, that’s health policy, that’s medical policy, that’s “science.” That’s also Police State. What is a lawyers’ association doing recommending medical decisions?
It’s lining up with Joe Biden and his forthcoming “national plan to conquer the pandemic.” It’s signaling, “We’re on board with you, Joe. Don’t worry about us. We’re for sale, we’re for hire.” It’s old-fashioned partisan politics and deal-making masquerading as some sort of legal brief. It’s a message to card-carrying lawyers everywhere: Mandatory vaccination should be your bias in all cases.
The New York Bar Association is quite a bunch of bottom-feeders.
BIDEN PLAN:
Biden has already led with his first priority: appointing new people to the coronavirus task force. As I’ve warned, he and his handlers want to issue edicts from the federal level on testing, tracing, masks, distancing, lockdowns, and vaccination, in an effort to override any defections from state governments.
The devastating economic destruction which has already been forced on America is not enough. There must be more. Not only through enacting new COVID restrictions, but also through moving climate change back up to the top of the federal agenda. This means reducing overall energy-output from US industry.
That also translates into greater federal control of the economy. It’s even possible we could see price freezes on goods.
Dreamers will, of course, applaud all these actions, because dreamers believe jobs and money and security will come flowing magically from the White House. Joe is the great healer. Trump argued and insulted. Tsk, tsk. Joe placates. It’s nicer. It’s a sign of love.
Joe’s social justice agenda is an odds-on favorite to include defunding police departments and restructuring them as “community share-and-care projects.”
“We saw you rob that liquor store and shoot the manager. What do you think produced that level of anger in you? Let’s sit down and talk about it.”
COVID, as planned, accelerated tyrannical trends. COVID’s new preacher is Joe Biden.
Current revelations about his dealings with China and Ukraine aside, Biden is an old con artist from Delaware. In 1987, shortly after launching his campaign for the presidency, a few of his lies surfaced. He plagiarized a speech by a British politician. He plagiarized lines from a Robert Kennedy speech. He lied about his past academic record and law school student ranking.
Moreover, the mainstream press roasted him mercilessly for these lies. Some of the same big-time news people who excoriated him then as a fraud and a hustler, and drove him to withdraw from the presidential race, in 1987, took up a whole new position in 2020: Puff-o-fantastico; Joe was good, Joe was clean, Joe had no problems.
Perception may be reality, but when media perception is miraculously elastic, and can expand or contract at the drop of a hat or the drop of cash money, all bets are off.
POLICE POWERS, THE CONSTITUTION:
On the subject of lawyers, vaccines, police powers, the Constitution, and the elasticity of perception, get a load of this:
Guess what? There is now a BELIEF clause written into the Constitution. “If the right people THINK something is so, it IS so.”
Note: The full-on legal lunacy I’m going to cite is…
Defended by many lawyers and public health officials. They say the State’s police powers, during a pandemic…
Can’t be challenged.
Fortunately, lawyers like Tom Renz and Bob Kennedy disagree.
Buckle up.
In April of 2006, the AMA (American Medical Association) Journal of Ethics published an article, “Is Mandatory Vaccination Legal in Time of Epidemic?” by Sarah Fujiwara, MD.
Referencing prior US Supreme Court decisions, the article states: “The courts do not become involved in legislation formed under the state’s police power…”
If that sounds like the preface to a bad storm rising; if it sounds like courts abdicating their most basic duty to keep tyrants in check; it gets much, much worse:
“Furthermore, it is immaterial whether or not the vaccine is actually effective, so long as it is the belief of state authorities that the mandatory vaccine will promote common welfare and is a reasonable and proper exercise of the police power.”
WHAT?
It’s immaterial…?
It doesn’t matter whether the vaccine is effective?
It only matters whether politicians BELIEVE…?
Believe what?
That the vaccine will promote “general welfare?”
And also the politicians BELIEVE the mandatory vaccine is a proper exercise of their POLICE POWERS? That’s all that matters?
This is on the order of saying, “If public health officials believe the use of poisonous snake oil to treat the population is effective, mandated snake oil can be enforced by the police. The US Constitution was embedded with this meaning.”
Sure it was. Obviously, the Founders were struggling to create a new Republic based on random declarations of emergency, mass police raids by men holding needles and vials containing anything from aluminum to mercury, who would hold people down and inject them.
This is what the Revolutionary War was fought for. Anyone should be able to see that.
The basic meaning and spirit of the Constitution WAS ALL ABOUT forced medical treatment, wasn’t it? I seem to remember Ben Franklin and James Madison announcing that very thing as they strolled along the streets of Philadelphia and educated early Americans about the Law of the Land. Ben said, “Needles and vials, that’s what we’ve been fighting and dying for…”
And much later, a poem was engraved in a plaque on the Statue of Liberty: GIVE US YOUR HUDDLED MASSES, YEARNING TO BE VACCINATED.
“As long as it is the BELIEF of state authorities…” This opens the door to: “Well, the committee BELIEVES an army of underground porcupines holding shotguns has emerged from caves and is marching on New York. Therefore, the State must set fire to sixty million acres of land between Albany and NYC. Citizens should evacuate as soon as possible…”
“…it is immaterial whether or not the vaccine is actually effective, so long as it is the belief of state authorities…”
But listen, don’t worry, be happy, let’s cancel the Second Amendment, because we have nothing to fear from politicians and government. Back in the 18th century, the whole business about an armed citizenry was pushed, don’t you know, because of the dire threat of giant roaming Mastodons.
Or was it roaming lawyers and judges, who picked and nicked and scraped and sliced at the Constitution, developing all sorts of key cases that diverted freedom into dead-end alleys and gullies and landfills and empty lots surrounded by barbed wire?
—Let’s revert to sanity. When a State of Emergency is declared, public officials must justify it on the facts, and those facts are up for challenge.
“It’s Science” is not an acceptable generality for explaining why a population is put into house arrest or stuck with a mandatory needle and injected with a brew.
Millions upon millions of us have delved into the details of vaccination. We’ve come out with our conclusion.
NO.
And in our legal research on the Constitution, and the extent to which it favors wide-ranging police powers, based on BELIEF, we offer this highly technical ruling to government officials and their attorneys:
STOP BULLSHITTING.
And to the AMA Journal of Ethics, where such an illuminating confession was published, we say, “Thanks, boys and girls, for letting us know where you really stand. Now there can be no doubt. You’re out of your minds and your conception of ethics is straight out of the Soviet Union and China. You’re the Medical Police State. Message received.”
And listen, old Joe. You and Hunter can take the COVID vaccine first, and all the boosters. The real vaccine, not a saltwater placebo shot for the cameras. You know, the DNA vaccine that alters your genetic makeup permanently, or the RNA vaccine that starts a cascade of auto-immune reactions, as the body basically attacks itself. THOSE vaccines.

“In a democracy”??? America is a “Republic”, not a democracy.
” . . . and to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands . . . ”
But we won’t be one for long if we let Harris-Biden steal the show that EVERYONE knows Trump won. Trump supporters at his rallies numbered into the thousands, Biden got 6 or 7 people and half of those were reporters.
Is America really going to allow this?? And, personally, it doesn’t matter to me if it was Trump vs Biden or Humpty Dumpty vs Chicken Little. It still should never go unchallenged when there’s been obvious shenanigans.
Didn’t Plato create the term Republic as a society ruled by philosopher kings(The Elite)?
With his definition, the world is ruled by philosopher kings
Jon is a Philosophy Major & best to comment on this.
My guess, & that’s all it is, is that the “spirit” of “Philo. King’s” would be only for “good” counsel based on learning. And not “ruling” for power’s sake.
Regardless of “rank,” I think we all can benefit by good advice. Especially when said advice comes from a noble heart.
My best.
Agreed.
Democracy & Republic the same thing in Greek and in latin
“so long as it is the belief of state authorities”..be-LIE-f…so long as it’s the LIE of state authorities…it’s time to hold “authoriteh” to account when they trespass and make them personally liable and get their insurance revoked. Then take their house and belongings for the criminal trespass they’ve committed. Hit ‘em hard and don’t relent. “I was following orders” is no remedy for their illegal trespass. The medical inquisition ends now!

I like the hint towards Cartman of South Part notoriety.
Did you all get that?
Jon,
I (WE) most appreciate your Gerry Spence quote, most apropos.
Your Philosophical Studies never wane.
I’m holding a 3″ x 5″ device alone, but on your Site I always feel the white gleaming stone amphitheatre about me, as I listen to other voices.
“— to be.”
Thank you.
Again and again, you Jon and countless other internet fighters for truth make the same mistake since it all started in Feb 2020:
Writing or making youtube videos will not make any difference. The only opposition now is physical resistance on the streets. But for usa this means at least 30 million patriots coming together with sheer determination and fully knowing they risk life.
The rest of the world, europe , uk and esp australia have no balls. Only you in USA can do something about it.
But please, get out from the computer screens!
You are absolutely correct, Peter. And gun sales have soared into the millions for the past few months, so there’s hope. That fact alone is probably the reason that although the AP has named Biden the winner, most people are paying it no nevermind and Antifa has been cautious, not to mention the general press and denizens of DC have been hiding, afraid they might be staring into the working end of something. However Trump is still Potus and he has yet to step up to the plate in a meaningful way, like enforce the Constitution which is his right as Commander-in-Chief. We are leaderless. He could stop the Lockdown in a heartbeat and thus free people and put a little fear into the hearts of the opposition. Maybe a lot of fear. It’s a very big country and not everyone lives in an urban area. I believe stopping the lockdown and ENFORCING IT, meaning any govs who balk go to jail, might go a long way in avoiding armed confrontation – for awhile.
He’s doing what he has to. Without people like him, no one would even think about taking to the streets.
I’ll remind you that it was Sam Adams and Ben Franklin, two printers who were the underground media of the Colonies, that handed out flyers and pamphlets about the British Crown’s crimes and to garner support for the revolt.
Without people like that, like John, educating and informing the people, no one would even think about revolting in the streets.
The mistake you make is forgetting that key, crucial aspect. That’s why we have a first amendment, and why it is first, and why the second was put in there by Franklin to protect it.
The UK and Europe have been resisting. Just search for anti-mask and anti-lockdown protests across England, Italy, Spain, Germany.
The united States sits down and waits for an election to save itself from itself. The rest of the world has experienced tyranny in recent times. The rest of the world remembers when it was invaded, when the Popes ruled them, when tyrant monarchs exploited them. The united States doesn’t ….. except:
“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” (Patrick Henry).
The first indoor farmers’ market of our season ended and 90% of the mask wearing sellers took them off as they were packing up for the day while their compatriots around them walked up to them, maskless, carried on conversations, laughter, handshaking (without gloves), and general merriment. This from a house of mainly liberals.
If we just read blogs and their comments and make our own comments, search the internet diligently for contrary information and disseminate it over the internet, the opposition wins. Get off your backsides, people, and get to work. Do not be distracted by the election and the court filings — it has kept you asleep for too long.
What are you waiting for? crumbs that fall from the tables of your enemies, hoping it will feed you?
But there is hope:
1. One of my sisters and her husband have “seen the light” of this whole mess.
2. Three of my relations in the UK have changed their minds (they are all in their 80s) about this fiasco and are getting angry — they refuse to not gather, despite living in households far apart.
3. My father-in-law in the UK and his lady of 25 years (who is quite ill with a nerve-endings problem) have refused to believe the dogma since near the beginning.
4. A very liberal (absolutely hates Trump, loves Bernie and wants Biden to win) friend and fellow vendor at our market who was triumphant over the recent election’s current results believes now that the lockdowns are bad and “covid” is not as bad as being pushed (that took a long while with lots of facts to convince her as well as logic).
5. I am amassing information to create a file and fly sheets any customer can take. Several vendors are interested, too.
Perhaps the resistance will begin somewhere small — like Vermont — where we have been open to very “whacky” ideas and like to go against the norm (and the grain), very often to our own doom. But, if perhaps, gentle, liberal, progressive Vermont can be at the forefront of exposing this scam, the rest of the nation will listen.
So much of this is thanks to Jon and all you commenters. Your hard work will not go fruitless. Perhaps we shall all hang, but let us all hang together rather than separately. Face to face, regardless of the edicts being brought upon you, will be more effective than sitting at the computer. Organize protests of “covid” measures, not the election.
Trump wins. Trump loses. It does NOT matter. If you do nothing, YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING.
“What good is it if a man gains the whole world yet loses his soul?”

All right!
The passages you implicitly reference from Jacobson v Mass. about the belief of public officials being sufficient to mandate a vaccine is only half the story. According to Jacobson, the belief of public officials must be based on the common belief and knowledge of the People. Without that, any mandate is not constitutional.
Also note, the Jacobson mandate dealt wth a smallpox vaccine which had been around for 100 years- plenty of time for the People to form a reasonable belief. With Covid, there has been no long term safety studies and no vaccine for humans has ever been licensed based on these novel platforms. Any public official or Officer of the Court who claims a legal right to mandate an experimental vaccine is engaged in lawfare. http://www.vaccinelawfare.com
The smallpox vaccine was made from cow puss and caused more injuries and deaths than smallpox. See “Dissolving Illusions” by Humphries and Bystrianyk.
Much has changed in science and law since 1905 when the Supreme Court upheld Massachusetts’s mandate against an epidemic “that imperiled an entire population.” The fatality rate from smallpox was 20% to 30%; COVID-19’s is closer to 0.2%. Many politicians and lawyers misread the ruling imagining a blank check for states to impose mandates under police powers. The 1905 Jacobson vs. Massachusetts ruling was used by the eugenics movement to promote forced sterilization. See the book “Imbeciles: The Supreme Court, American Eugenices, and the Sterilization of Carrie Buck”, by Adam Cohen, who presents evidence that the 1905 Supreme Court was populated by eugenicists. The same court in a 1927 ruling in Buck v. Bell upheld forced sterilization, in which Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes simply wrote that the “principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.” This 1927 Supreme Court ruling was used by the Nazi doctors to defend their forced medical atrocities they committed at children’s hospitals and concentration camps during their trial at Nuremberg after WWII in 1946 -1949, which led to the development of proper informed consent in the Nuremberg Code which states in part:
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.
The informed consent concept has also been included in the UNESCO’s Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights issued in 2007 which states in part:
Article 6 – Consent
Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.
Now in fact states must meet criteria of necessity, proportionality, harm avoidance and non-discrimination. Precedents require courts to prevent arbitrary and oppressive mandates like the ones proposed by promoters of the non existing COVID19 vaccine, including the use of exemptions and fines to be paid by those refusing the vaccine, as long as the fines are neither excessive nor violations of the 8th amendment.
Excellent post B59Y! Would really appreciate your feedback on my site under development, given your substantive response to my post above re Jacobson. Also note, the criteria includes “real and substantial relationship” which is the most critical of all, since a novel biologic can’t meet this test. This sub-part requires common knowledge a “vaccine” is safe and effective and per Justice Harlan this knowledge and belief was fundamental to the Court’s holding.
In Jacobson, the Court was able to check this box because the smallpox vaccine had been around for 100 years, so the Court took judicial notice the People found it safe and effective. Tell me how this box gets checked with an experimental genetic vaccine that’s never been approved nor subjected to any long term testing? Marbury v Madison prescribes limits which are applicable here, and if the current Court adheres to the Constitution, no vaccine mandate should be permitted.

You forget (or didn’t know about) directed energy weapons – microwaves aimed at most of us now in myriad forms and locations. 3G,4G and 5G. How do you think so many homes and persons went poof so fast in Paradise, California? How do you think the concrete in the 2 towers dissappeared in a cloud?
“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.–
That 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 of 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 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 shewn, 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.”
Declaration of Independence
Four score and five years later those proclamations mattered not but to a few.
I just want to make this perfectly clear. I don’t care what any body of authoritarian control freaks decree; I’m not taking any vaccine. I’ve been done with those since I got out of the army in 1992. I really don’t care which one of the lunatics wins the title of the Big Kahuna either. It’s been a long time since I’ve accepted any man as my master. I rule myself far better than any of the people who claim they own me rule their own selves. And while I practice the principal of non-aggression, I also marry it with the right to defend myself. Count me out of any civil wars or revolutions; but that doesn’t mean I won’t make a stand.
No one has any right to initiate violence upon another; and that is exactly what a mandatory anything is. Violence.
I’ll end with a quote from Gore Vidal that I read in the early 80s. It’s powerful enough to have stuck with me all these years. And when you live by them, you will become fearlessly free.
“To be free, one must be willing to fight anyone,any where, any time, and for any reason”.
It may not be exact, but I haven’t read it since the early 80s. Most people today are horrified by such a sentiment. Instead, they keep begging others to carry their weight. Such people aren’t worth the effort. And that is why we are in the situation we are in now.
Amen, Jim!!
New Zealand and Australia prove they anticipate your and my feelings. They are declaring the vaccines are not mandatory. They just will not allow the unvaccinated to be in public, nor receive welfare, nor receive the tax breaks regular vaccinated citizens receive.
At the same time UK govt is searching contractors for someone with an AI robust enough to handle a surge of adverse reactions to the new vaccines that they are anticipating.
ARGUMENTS: Jon’s quote from GSpencer on arguments is interesting. Many I’ve engaged in conversation with this covid nonsense simply tell me to my face “I’m not going to argue” as if they’ve already been mind-control-brain-washed via some common borg-internet site to use that as a way to shut people down.
PAPER vs. ELECTRONIC: Jon wrote “Paper ballots, mail-in ballots, punch cards, touch-screen—it all goes into the hopper. It’s all translated into computer sub-totals and totals.” I agree to the extent that we’re in the electronic era however we’re still in the PAPER era too. I’m old enough to have worked for several companies that had LOTS of paper storage areas for their records. Ballots can be stored and double checked and cross checked. Tallies can be run again where questionable. There should not be a problem and there certainly is no conceptual problem. I emailed something called the “U.S. Election Assistance Commission” this morning, telling them I’m not happy with their election management and asked to be put on their mailing list so I can moniter them in coming days. https://www.eac.gov/form/contact-us/confirmation?token=WAaBC1XvmwFN_QztSXkkWszdP6o42yP49UfsBzCDEiw
RICK’S FORUM
https://rickpotvin63.boardhost.com/viewforum.php?id=1
“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
“There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preéstablishcd harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give hint no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
“If any of us knew what we were doing, or where we are going, then when we think we best know! We do not know to-day whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us. All our days are so unprofitable while they pass, that ’tis wonderful where or when we ever got anything of this which we call wisdom, poetry, virtue. We never got it on any dated calendar day. Some heavenly days must have been intercalated somewhere, like those that Hermes won with dice of the Moon, that Osiris might be born. It is said all martyrdoms looked mean when they were suffered. Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in. Embark, and the romance quits our vessel and hangs on every other sail in the horizon. Our life looks trivial, and we shun to record it. Men seem to have learned of the horizon the art of perpetual retreating and reference. ‘Yonder uplands are rich pasturage, and my neighbor has fertile meadow, but my field,’ says the querulous farmer, ‘only holds the world together.’ I quote another man’s saying; unluckily that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me. ‘Tis the trick of nature thus to degrade to-day; a good deal of buzz, and somewhere a result slipped magically in. Every roof is agreeable to the eye until it is lifted; then we find tragedy and moaning women and hard-eyed husbands and deluges of Lethe, and the men ask, ‘What’s the news?’ as if the old were so bad. How many individuals can we count in society? how many actions? how many opinions? So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the pith of each man’s genius contracts itself to a very few hours.”
~ Emerson, “Experience”
All lawyers are bottom-feeding scum-sucking maggots. They are like scabies under your skin. They will do ANYTHING for a buck, just like a prostitute. Believe me, if anyone knows this for a fact, I do. LOOOOONG story and probably not for publication.
BUT/or, worse yet, they’re like whores – – who will do anything at no charge, as long as it gets them to the end of their primary goal. Primary goal? Something no one can reach without the “law”, no matter how they obfuscate it.
But of course the gubmint is in on all of this, as well. FOR INSTANCE: My husband applied for his medicare benefits during the last week of August 2020. We are now into November and he STILL DOESN’T HAVE A NUMBER and no one at the Social Security offices will give him the number on the phone, they say they must do it through the mail. I hope they don’t seriously think the mail is any less pilfered these days than our phone calls. EVERYTHING is open to anyone who wants to snoop, NOTHING is private anymore. My husband has had to cancel a very important surgery because he NEEDS that number in order to complete the surgery or else it’s totally unaffordable.
If Biden becomes the president, I think they are going to eliminate both the Social Security and Medicare programs. So then WHY IN THE WORLD are there constant, constant, constant, all-day-long ads on tv for medicare?? Personally, I they are holding off giving him the information he needs about this medicare number because he’s just at the deadline where they can refuse to give it to him until they change the structure of the medical “payments” system.
That’s just a guess but it’s also a gut feeling and my gut feelings are rarely wrong.
Opie, you’re a Gem.
“You’re out of your minds and your conception of ethics is straight out of the Soviet Union and China.” Or, more accurately, the United States.
REPLY to: Peter’s thoughts.
I think you might be correct.
IMHO:
HOWEVER, people, unorganized, angry & upset, possessing desire for freedom (or at least initially, freedom FROM oppression), fueled by what they believe is righteous indignation, CANNOT take to the streets with firearms in hand.
It would result in blood bath.
“WE” almost need a 2nd Declaration. Well-written & Clearly-stated. This 2nd one aimed within Country.
WE need professional ex-military types to guide an organized resistance. (ex-military NOT in the form of FBI, etc. spies).
This resistance has to be OUT IN THE OPEN. NO HIDING. CALMLY STATED. REASONABLE. THOUGHTFUL & FULLY ARTICULATED. Agreed upon by those of assent.
We tell them “we don’t want killing, destruction, etc.”
But YOU have backed us into a corner & we see no other means. Our guns are holstered & prefer they remain so.

This is simply my argument, that Jon’s Article has Inspired.
2nd revolution? Why? So that it could be hijacked? No. Just stand like a real man/woman up to the authorian who gets in your face. I’ve been doing just that for the last 60 years and they don’t mess with me much at all.
The problem is all the spineless flesh bags that always cry on about how someone else needs to lead them. Well,cowards have reaped quite the harvest.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PG5eApIJeM Hope you can watch this video that came from beforeitsnews.com today. It states Trump has won, and people needs to see this to get your perspective out of the fear mode. Keep strong and demand that they stop this farce, and do not agree to their PLAN. Biden will disarm this country, etc. Hope this can stay for your review.
I don’t really care which one wins. I rule myself. But biden can’t disarm people that matter for they would shoot the people trying to disarm them. The rest don’t matter.
OK I am from Australia and so to say may have more balls then you have. After all I am preparing an almighty case to challenge the rubbish. I previously defeated the Commonwealth on constitutional issues, so proved to stand my ground. I do not promote violence as generally innocent people are getting to suffer. I prefer the might of the pen. And I am darn good in that. Again, I proved that in past litigation.
yes but when the shit hits the fan you will need guns for protection. unless you want to throw pens at them while they rape and kill your family.
Rome turned Jesus Messiah into a passive personality through the works of Flavius Jophesus, so people became submissive to Rome.
The Messiah in the Talmud is a Warrior king not a Passive bend over man. “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”
When our backs are against the wall Arms will be needed.
OH SHIT THAT RIGHT Governments already Rape and kill our Families sometimes slowly through mass medical slow slaughter mind control.
If anyone wants to contribute to a 2nd Declaration, I BEG THEE, BEG THEE, to do the OPPOSITE, of below:

From CNN:
Why Kamala Harris’ white suit speaks volumes
“But while the Vice President-elect’s acceptance speech will surely, and rightly, be remembered for the words of inspiration offered to women in America and around the world, the commentary on her wardrobe was not as trivial as it might seem. Because, rather than distracting from her words, the white pantsuit and pussy bow blouse served to reinforce her message of unity and emancipation.”

I think I’m from a wholly different planet from the above thinker.
But that’s just me…

Just a couple of quotes from one of my favourite books, Les Miserables. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a quote from this book which discusses how humanity was given the right to vote in order to stop it from revolting against the powers in charge. Anyone with better ability and time to search and find this for me?
“Before him he saw two roads, both equally straight; but he did see two; and that terrified him–he who had never in his life known anything but one straight line. And, bitter anguish, these two roads were contradictory.”
(Les Miserables by Victor Hugo on Jean Valjean and the beginning of his redemption).
“There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices; after philosophy there must be action; the strong hand finishes what the idea has sketched.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

THE PREZ TAKES OFFICE
ala SEINFELD
George Costanza applies for a job, which, he isn’t suited for.
The Employer, initially, is taken by Costanza’s campaign for employment.
The Employer tells Costanza that he will be busy for awhile & away from the office. He ends his interview with, “things look promising, but you are aware……..”
(…1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3)
Costanza desperately tells Jerry, “Look Jerry, I can’t be waiting around. If they look at my resume carefully, I’m out Jerry! Out!)
Jerry says, “Yeah… obviously. But what are you cooking up!?!”
George confidentially says, “I show up!”
Jerry questions disbelievingly, “YOU SHOW UP?!?!”
George assures, “That’s right Jerry…I SHOW UP.”
Great ending!!
Good post Jon. Too bad the 90% of America wearing masks, worshiping medicine and politicians don’t read your posts and believe the constitution a racist thing.
Civilization has just went back a thousand years when the medicine man ruled and was treated like a god.
Those of us that still have real cognitive ability are in for some serious problems dealing with the worshipers.
Haha, the medicine man of the old days may have had much better validity and efficacy than today’s scientism worshipping mindless and spineless minions

Maybe if the Republicans had supported a certain Hawaiian former Democrat presidential candidate’s Saving America’s Elections bill, we would not be here. Or maybe the Republicans don’t want election integrity any more than the Dems do.
I assume you speak of Tulsi Gabbard.
I don’t know all of Am. El. bill, so can’t comment.
However, IMHO, she clearly was strongest of Dem pack.
Interesting how MSM paid her short shrift.
I think you’re correct about election integrity.
yes but when the shit hits the fan you will need guns for protection. unless you want to throw pens at them while they rape and kill your family.

“Furthermore, it is immaterial whether or not the vaccine is actually effective, so long as it is the belief of state authorities that the mandatory vaccine will promote common welfare and is a reasonable and proper exercise of the police power.”

Hey, watch your language! Haha. Just kidding. There actually are no expletives that descend to the depth of depraved evil that that quote represents. I guess we’re going to see how low low can go eh?
For more on Vote Fraud, see Bev Harris’s website:
https://blackboxvoting.org
The essence of Bev Harris was “fractional voting”. I think it still works that way but there are more sophisticated ways of cheating now. I’m not an expert but from what I’m seeing on this current round of cheating, “fractional voting” is one of many new ways to cheat. Good to point to Bev Harris though.

TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AROUND THE GLOBE:
Here is a letter of intent from some on various Australian police forces (in particular in New South Wales). I URGE ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT (especially front line workers) to read the following letter by a New South Wales Australian highway patrolman (other police in Australia have signed this, too):
https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/australian-police-blow-whistle-spectacularly-on-coronavirus-deception/
You, our men in blue, are our current front line in this fiasco called “covid.” It is your responsibility to uphold your Constitutions respecting the rights (given by our Creator, I will add) of the citizens you are sworn to protect. Thank you for doing so.
Regards
AK in VT
Sorry, I meant to say the letter of intent is to protect us citizens and stop the government edicts; these police also refuse to participate in forcing anyone to take any vaccine.
The letter is addressed to the head of the police for the state of New South Wales, Australia. Thank you brave men in blue for taking a stance for us.

Almost 20 years ago : Officials stage fake pneumonic plague epidemic to test readiness :
https://news.stanford.edu/news/2003/november19/disaster-1119.html
Anyway,
Interesting that this year’s shenanigans (and there were MANY of them), has also been seen as 400 years after the initial beginnings of a radical dream – that of “self-determination”, and getting beyond the reach of unaccountable “authority”. – Yes, we are talking the great event of the Landing at Plymouth Rock of 1620, and the drafting of the Mayflower Compact.
It was a year later, 1621, that the Pierce Patent was drafted, and actually SIGNED by the “Crown of England” as a testament to a “Promise of Freedom, Liberty, and Self-Determination” had begun. The Pierce Patent, having the signature of so high a level of a foreign “head-of-state” lent great credibility to the endeavors of these brave, hardy souls – who made the lonely sail, across unfamiliar waters, into unfamiliar territory – in which to start a new life for themselves and their posterity.
ABC’s “1619 Project” was an attempt to underplay and demonize the brave efforts of those who suffered greatly on their first rough year upon the American Continent. These brave souls lost many lives during the sail, and within their first season here, but kept alive the fire of Life, and their faith in their God.
This year, 2020 – sees that promise, and the blessings and fruits of their labors and toils – become all-for-naught! Over 400 years, and “The Dream” dies now!
If We, The People (that’s both the Trump-worshippers, and Trump-haters) don’t a serious grip on reality now, especially after the obvious frauds (and there were MANY) which have perpetrated upon the People (much it also self-inflicted dissonance and ignored) – Then We, as a once-prosperous Nation can only conclude in one direction: That of destruction, dissolution, and a complete disappearance from the memory of humanity!
No government servant, no media man, no virtual reality tunnel, and NO self-proclaimed, self-appointed “expert” will save us. Mr. Trump openly betrayed America – as all of his predecessors did, and the “new team” will only continue what Mr. Trump has left behind for them, like: “Operation Warpspeed”, no funding for any institution who dares to criticize the one-sided relationship our nation has with a certain little “state”, and the opening of the doorway to more government-mandates upon the People, and a plethora of other “political time-bombs” that shall surely come back to haunt freedom-loving Americans – to the end of their days!
Our entire “(s)election system” has been an utter sham for many years, not just this one. No matter who was anointed to “lead” this nation, America’s institution of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness have lost ground. Individual Rights, Freedom, Liberty, and the Right of Self-Determination and Self-Governance have all but lost each and every battle, because too many of the People have fallen for the regular dog-and-pony-shit-show, time and time again!
Makes my time in the uniformed services seem like an utter waste of effort and time, not to mention the deterioration of my own physical well-being because of it, all seem futile and un-appreciated after all. Talk is cheap, when words are a “dime-a-dozen”, but action and deed are king!
If WE can’t find the intestinal fortitude to stand up for truth, backed by solid, evidenciary facts, and awaken from this long slumber of “everything’s okay” when it’s NOT, then We, as a Nation have no hope of survival!
It doesn’t matter who you voted for. It doesn’t matter what political party ye hail from. It doesn’t matter who or what you find to be your ideal “partner”. It doesn’t even matter what kind of life you were stuck with growing up. What matters, now and most of all, is will you stand up and fight when there is still something dear worth fighting for? ? ?
Talk, discussion, or any other non-activity is done and over with. The folks within the “system” don’t give two shit-pebbles out of a rats balding ass less what you think or want! That much should have been obvious before now. It’s time to really stand up, get to know who is really on your side, and who can be trusted to stand with you – as opposed to those whom you should stay clear of.
Anybody who has seen the “new party’s platform” should be astonished and worried beyond belief.
This new administration (if it gets successfully installed), will these united states transformed into an absolute hell-hole to the likes beyond most people’s dreams and wildest nightmares. The changes to this party’s platform, promises significant changes to the very make up and operation of these united states. First on their “hit list”, will be all who have ever opposed them (to especially include “whites”)!
If they are making their hit-lists known now (which has probably been in the making for years, already), you better believe they are going to make Lenin’s and Stalin’s purges seem like simpleton holiday pranks, compared to what THEY are looking to do, and as thoroughly they intend to do so.
You already heard that all from their lips, and from their “protestors-for-hire” cretins!
BEWARE AMERICA! BE VERY WARE!
WOW.
A Meal for Thought. Understand I understand the action-part. I try to be like the angels, when treading.
All Americans RESPECT YOUR SERVICE.
My dad (Navy) Ship re-fueler, guns for n` aft, target for Japanese kamikaze & subs. Unscathed.
My Uncle (dad’s bro`, Army) N. Africa up thru Sicily, took shrapnel to knee. Survived.
Both these men served as you did.
Thank you Sir.
Lotsa luck with those guns against the state. That’s playing in their home court. Use them to hunt your own food instead.
The way to defeat this tyranny is to remain firm in truth and wisdom, and keep the moral high ground. Cut them out, and do business with other lovers of freedom – which there are many. Perhaps not a majority – yet. But enough.
As we stay firm, the results will speak for themselves. Some Kent State incidents will ensure, tens of millions will be harmed by the vaccine, and public opinion WILL turn, just like the Vietnam. Like Gandhi’s India overcame British imperialism.
Violent revolutions have tended to replace one sort of tyranny with an equal and opposite (in terms of left/right orientation) tyranny. But imperialism has also consistently failed. The planetary imperialists are minions of the deep state.
If they can’t arrest a few thousand people having a beach party associated with anti-lockdown protests, what will they do when 100 million refuse their ridiculous edicts?
WE need to be the confident ones, like RFK, Jr., to protect our Liberty and Health. Repeat the mantra again and again: We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
100 million Americans, that is.

To Jon and commenters, thank you!
“This is what the Revolutionary War was fought for. Anyone should be able to see that.”
“The inability of the Colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war.”
“We began planning the Revolutionary War in order to issue our own money again.”
–Ben Franklin
Contrary to PubEd pablum, the American revolution wasn’t about freedom. That’s what the American “Elites” made sure the public thought it was all about.
Ben made the excuse to go to paper money years prior to the Revolution because they were running out of gold/silver coin. Yet over the previous century, several European countries had been pillaging American silver mines, boosting their economies. A very different problem besetting the Colonists than what Ben insinuated.
Oh yes, lets throw into the pot that nonsense affixed to the Statue of Liberty;
In 1886 the Statue of Liberty was erected on Bedloe’s island, it being the symbol of liberty commemorating a century of US independence. It wasn’t until 1903 that the Jewish poetess Emma Lazarus wrote the corruptive poem which was the final nail in the coffin of republicanism, and its institutionalizing the Old World values of plunder by riveting her words to the statue’s base. Instead of the Lady of the Lamp being the symbol of liberty by public virtue, it became the symbol of liberation by peculation. Since the Civil War, American republicanism has declined into tyranny as selfishness, greed, and totalitarianism wiped out the spirit of liberty through public vice. Emma’s poem enshrines the notion that the dregs of any culture may come to the US and become wealthy by expropriation and thus indolent, rather than an exponent of liberty by virtue.
Even my ancestors who immigrated to the US in the 1800s were not so much interested in LIBERTY as they were the availability of cheap land made available by Congress to the public at bargain basement prices, which the gov expropriated from the previous inhabitants. They came here to escape starvation, a poor economy, and miserable prospects for private ownership of land. LIBERTY was not what drew them here. OPPORTUNITY was. America has been the milch cow of the world since the 1400s.
WOW!
And my PubEd History download is expanded & deepened still.
Thank you!
On synchronicity’s side… I just took to re-reading Emma’s poem, ere your own Poetic Thoughts.
Thanx again.
