Socialism, communism, facism, corporateism, any -ism or tyranny term (all originally unconstitutional) one wishes to use, are merely tools of the economic elite, with the central bankers at the pinacle. They control the monetary systems and thus control the economies and governments of most of the world already. The NWO has been here for some time now, just tightening its grip. Anyone receiving a government check or government benefit, and anyone paying Social Security and income taxes, are aiding and abetting this beast.
I portend then, that therein lays the solution to slaying the beast. A monumental task of persuading unity in the masses to pull off. A sacrifice most seem willing to undertake at this juncture. Perhaps when misery becomes more unbearable unity will congeal? Of course the more time that passes, the higher the price.

Might that solution then JPorch, require re-establishing the bodies politic in the several republics of the Union? Whereby Americans would regain constitutional "standing" and constitutional protection of their unalienable Rights? Thus essentially abandoning federal citizenship and binding once again the federal government to the original constitutional limits to its powers? Certainly the founders wrote the constitution to be understood by laymen. But why do laymen not seem to understand that by accepting "privileges or immunities" from the federal government, they are exacting its "penalties" upon their fellow federal citizens and neighbors, violating their unalienable Rights? This gives the "unconstitutional" actions of the federal government legitimacy. My point being, perhaps Americans must search their own souls, before attempting any revolt they perceive the federal government is due.

You and I are not that far apart here, bill wald.
Of which US Constitution do you speak? The one (1787) prior to the so-called "Civil War", the "Reconstruction", and the 14th Amendment. Or the (1868) "reconstructed" US Constitution, post 14th Amendment?
Have those "50 sovereign nation's" constitutions been repealed?
I would answer, no.
It is my contention then, that those 50 republics still in fact do exist.
They are merely vacant (for my lack of a better word) due to the nationality and citizenship of todays Americans. No longer nationals of their respective republics. But since the 14th Amendment, nationals and citizens of "one nation", "indivisible", the "United States" federal government.

Americans, it seems to me, need to inform themselves (as they certainly were not informed by the US federal government controlled education monopoly, due to its conflict of interest to teaching about limited government) to just what exactly was America and the several separate and independent sovereign constitutional republic nation States of the confederation, these united States of America. And exactly how and when Americans became citizens of the "United States" federal government, in direct opposition to their republics as they were founded.

Were the people of the several separate and independent republics (nation States) subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government when the States created the confederation "United States"?
Like the European Union as it sits today, where the citizens of each separate nation in the EU are not citizens or subjects of the entity or government calling itself the "European Union", they remain citizens of their respective nation State. (Although there are many of high status calling for a "European Union" (federalized) citizenship to be instituted, "The United States of Europe". The NWO?) Is it not safe to assume that, at least initially, Americans in their republic nation States were not citizens of, and subject to its jurisdiction, the federal government "United States"?
So what gives? Why are Americans today "citizens of the United States" federal government, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"? (Please refer to the US Constitution, 14th Amendment). --cont.--

I cannot help but wonder why so many Americans have not asked how it came to pass, that the federal government has (unconstitutional?) jurisdiction over the American people in the first place. In law, could it be that Americans (unknowingly?) give their consent? Understanding that "governments are instituted by the consent of the governed"?
Another question I wonder why Americans are not asking; Why is it, no American seems to have "standing" in law when it comes to constitutional issues presented in court?
Americans alive today have seen federal jurisdiction over them their entire lives. But has that always been the case in America? --cont.--

If a church is incorporated with an federal Employee Identification Number (EIN) and /or 501c3 federal tax exempt status, it may want to remove itself from that situation. These churches have placed themselves under federal jurisdiction, knowingly or not.

Is anyone still taking the Federal Reserve, as an economy manipulator for the people of America's well being, seriously? Wasn't one of the reasons the Fed was instituted was to "control inflation"? No lie there, as the dollar has lost 98% of its value due to Fed controlled inflation since the Feds inception in 1913. However, if one believes the Fed is not stealing American people's wealth, I got some ocean front property in Oklahoma for sale. Very reasonably priced too.

You're saying it is in the Constitution, authorization to suspend the Constitution? Show me.
What Law then, does the military follow during Martial Law, if not the Constitution?
Sounds lawless, doesn't it?
The US Constitution is the Law the federal government is to abide. Not what issues from the mouth of the Commander and Chief of the military. Martial Law is unconstitutional, unlawful, a military coup.

Indeed, our system of self-governance was carefully crafted as a Constitutional Representative Republic, which is much different than Democracy. But we must understand that a Democracy was also "carefully crafted" and instituted about 1868 to replace the Republic, and enslave the American people.
There is our problem. And without understanding the problem, there can be no effective solution.
The constitutional republic cannot be restored through the antithesis of republic, democracy.

I recommend reading "The Red Amendment" by LB Bork for more clarification, understanding.
