The whole world is watching Switzerland and Thailand!

It’s been a long line of shots, none of which the masses have responded effectually to. The first shot was the usurpation by the Eurobankster mafia of the Articles of Confederation at Philadelphia in May 1787. A few more historical shots, which did not arouse sufficient rebellious ire of the purportedly free people of the voluntarily-united States of America, have been:

Threatening the Providence Plantations (the future Rhode Island) with armed invasion, when 90% of the residents declined to join the proposed nascent united States, before it was even formed

President Thomas Jefferson’s illegal, immoral, Louisiana Purchase

1798 Alien and Sedition Act

President Chester Alan Arthur’s creation of the Civil Service, creating an army of unelected bureaucrats

Lincoln’s war to prevent lawful secession

“Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighbourhood? Each block? Each house? Each person?” ― Murray N. Rothbard

The IRS

Prohibition

The Federal Reserve Act

FDR’s theft of Americans’ gold, plus the Emergency Banking Act, plus welfare

The 19th Amendment

Entry into both World Wars, and Korea and Viet Nam

The whole LBJ Great Society and Immigration acts

JFK’s assassination and coverup, plus RFK, Malcolm X, and MLK, whatever your views of these men

9/11 and all related acts and coverups

Coronahoax

This list is hardly meant to be exhaustive, but only a suggestive pattern of endless state power grabs, with never a sufficient response by the subject serfs. We simply must abolish our belief in the beneficence and necessity of having a coercive power structure. It is not a question of who, but what. It never has been and never will be in our control, and if it were, it would still be immoral to force anything on anyone.

“A man’s natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime; whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, or by millions calling themselves a government.”

Government is undeniably a bad thing, and not a valid answer to humanity’s issues. Its track record is inefficient expensive incompetence at best, and dumb-striking murderous, torturous horror at worst.

“The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster.” ― Ludwig von Mises

Joe Sobran, reluctant anarchist:

EXCERPT:
Murray [Rothbard] died a few years ago without quite having made an anarchist of me. It was left to his brilliant disciple, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, to finish my conversion. Hans argued that no constitution could restrain the state. Once its monopoly of force was granted legitimacy, constitutional limits became mere fictions it could disregard; nobody could have the legal standing to enforce those limits. The state itself would decide, by force, what the constitution “meant,” steadily ruling in its own favor and increasing its own power. This was true a priori, and American history bore it out.

What if the Federal Government grossly violated the Constitution? Could states withdraw from the Union? Lincoln said no. The Union was “indissoluble” unless all the states agreed to dissolve it. As a practical matter, the Civil War settled that. The United States, plural, were really a single enormous state, as witness the new habit of speaking of “it” rather than “them.”

So the people are bound to obey the government even when the rulers betray their oath to uphold the Constitution. The door to escape is barred. Lincoln in effect claimed that it is not our rights but the state that is “unalienable.” And he made it stick by force of arms. No transgression of the Constitution can impair the Union’s inherited legitimacy. Once established on specific and limited terms, the U.S. Government is forever, even if it refuses to abide by those terms.

As Hoppe argues, this is the flaw in thinking the state can be controlled by a constitution. Once granted, state power naturally becomes absolute. Obedience is a one-way street. Notionally, “We the People” create a government and specify the powers it is allowed to exercise over us; our rulers swear before God that they will respect the limits we impose on them; but when they trample down those limits, our duty to obey them remains.

“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.” ― Lysander Spooner
