Path to Liberty

Only Congress has the power to “declare war.” But how it’s used today has almost no resemblance to the original, legal meaning in the Constitution.

The structure and power for a totalitarian nightmare is all around us - overcriminalization, overregulation, surveillance, and so much more, including the ability to fund all their unconstitutional programs.

Bad news, even where it might feel like good news - federal gun control enforcement went down some in 2020, but they actually tried to do much more. And, even after a reduction from record levels in 2019, they’re still much higher in almost every metric than they were just a few years ago.

Supporters of the monster state want you to believe that it’s never enough. Spending, taxing, debt - and the like. President Madison and President Jefferson both saw things much differently - two examples on infrastructure and debt we never see today.

The Declaration of Independence was not an effort to “find out new principles,” according to Thomas Jefferson. Instead, it was intended as “an expression of the American mind,” which was based on the principles of the greats like Locke, Cicero - and a guy named Algernon Sidney - whose book was owned by Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Franklin and many others.

Continuing his theme of warning against consolidation, or centralization of power, Brutus looks at the taxing power and general welfare, warning that politicians would use ambiguities to expand central power and eventually “swallow up the state governments.” He also takes Alexander Hamilton (in Federalist 23) to task.

A growing number of states and cities are claiming that they’re now a “sanctuary” on one issue or another. But since these are politicians making the claims, are they telling the truth? Learn what qualifies as a sanctuary and you’ll easily spot the liars.

A totalitarian state needs to keep a close eye on people to ensure compliance and control. With USPS and even the National Park Service joining the surveillance-state fray, if we’re not already there, it’s pretty close - and getting worse.

One side claims the other is trying to “defund” or “abolish” police, while the other is actively trying to double federal funding - which, of course, comes with federal strings and federal priorities. But they’re all full of it - the feds shouldn’t be involved in local policing in the first place.

Federal, state, local - internet, cell phones, social, acoustics, and more - tracking the top ways they track whatever you do.
