In Part 2 of this article, I established that attempting to restore freedom within the current system and union is ineffectual. Freedom’s studier should know the circumstances in which the American colonies seceded from Great Britain in comparison to the circumstances of the States’ plight today. The results should lead concerned persons to conclude that the people of the States have long lived in submission beyond what the founders deemed in conformity to our duty to man and God. America’s comfort, unprincipled character and unwillingness to pledge our lives, fortunes and sacred honor have, in part, created the infatuation to “restore freedom” within the debauched system of the federal government. To restore freedom, the people must act outside the system, just as America’s founding generation did.
Attorney Jonathon Edmond wrote an article entitled, A Blueprint For Resurrecting Our Republic, which accurately and diplomatically describes the reasons why, in fact, the people of the States are living in slavery to the federal government and which illustrates that federal bureaucracy operates as the rule of law and not the consent of the governed. Indeed, the title of his article, and ones like it, acknowledges that the Republic has been destroyed. Why else would it need to be “resurrected” if it were not dead? Why else would freedom need to be restored or reclaimed if it were not destroyed?
Erroneously, however, Edmund concludes that the answer to this destruction is voting into federal office new politicians, as if even the best carpenters can use rotten wood, rusty nails and disintegrated foundations to rebuild a lasting empire. Not only does this proven-failed solution not comport to the sense and seriousness of our times, but also it does not comport to the manner in which freedom was secured in the first place in the American states. Additionally, it makes a lot of unfounded assumptions concerning the assurances of freedom in the future, the ability of all of American society to be governed under one general government system, the effectiveness of new politicians in the federal government and the timeliness in which freedom can be restored.
Out of the list of six crucially-fundamental encroachments which Edmond enumerates, the one which should protrude out of the subconscious of our minds and out of the roots of our spirit is number 3 on his list, “No Taxation Without Representation,” where Edmond states:
“Because almost all laws are created by unelected heads of bureaucratic agencies, WE ARE TAXED BUT ARE NOT REPRESENTED IN THE CREATION OF ALMOST ALL FEDERAL LAWS THAT GOVERN US. That taxation without representation violates a primary precept on which the government is based, i.e., that the people are sovereign and that just governments are based on the consent of the governed.”
