Oh we noticed. nostr:note1hapqtsww92vq4e685xk9xwljrnzsfwte467su22rekjrqv5ypyyq4pw6r6

When you serve government you are literally casting pearls before swine.

1 Samuel 8:11-18

[11] He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. [12] And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. [13] He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. [14] He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. [15] He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. [16] He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work. [17] He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. [18] And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”

Look to the anti roe campaign “well-capitalized” = a war chest to fund campaigns, vet justices/judges, legal researchers, lawyers, outreach on college campuses and ultimately to sway by public opinion.

Was nice to be outside with all the neighbors and kiddos.

Ok, the solar eclipse hysteria/hype in Dallas is unbelievable this week. Businesses/schools closing, media warnings of traffic and fuel shortages.

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

I would tend to agree with the camp that says the constitution allows for the political process to occur. The outcome of which has the potential to become the largest empire in history. That outcome is certainly limited be the resources available to the governments.

The constitution, as amendment, is explicit in some matters and silent in others. As long as the meaning and intent of the constitution is debated then it has relevance has not failed. When tyranny prevails, I would again argue that the whole of the people has failed.

The constitution is just an inanimate object. It has no agency, no power to cause.

The 245 y/o document doesn’t bind you nor does it protect you, it only outlines the political mechanism to administrate the territory.

The bill of rights was added to address concerns that precedent for common law would be lost under the new government. Which is sadly true. The civil courts are not powerful enough to protect private property and natural rights.

The legislative process gives governments carte blanche to enact any new law on the citizens. Then courts are restricted to only hearing cases where single individuals are harmed. That Asymmetry that undermines the co-equal branch theory. (imho)

The people engaging in the political process failed to keep government limited chose instead to use the power against their fellow citizens. By the time the cases get to court, you have a single individual against the most powerful government in human history.

As far as legality, that’s the problem with government. It has to power to disconnect legality form virtue.

That’s because the US constitution was intended to define/restrict the activity of the Federal government and enumerate the limits of its authority. All other rights are reserved for the states/people.

We were born into a culture that had already surrendered. It was the responsibility of citizens to hold government accountable and earlier generations didn’t.

Fed government and the State now enumerate and specify the limits/conditions of our privileges.

“Progressives” always push for more government control and “Conservatives” just offer compromise to the expansion as cover for special interest.

Individually everyone is so busy trying to stay alive in the inflationary death trap. No one has time/resources to coordinate the effort to hold tyranny at bay.

#Bitcoin might fix the coordination problem by helping to align incentives. Self-preservation is a virtue on a Bitcoin standard.

“Not Much” he says. El Salvador paid off it’s debt and has a sovereign wealth fund in bitcoin. The USA has a $34 Trillion in debt.
