2. “The United States and the rest of the planet are in completely separate worlds”

   Around 1/3 of the adult population of the United States are.

3. This administration and their policies constitute a direct threat to the lives and freedoms of all Americans and Humanity in general.

   What would you do if someone had a gun to your child’s head? You’d do anything to protect them.

   Consider: we are their hostages.

   If Congress has effectively abdicated its powers – to levy taxes, to duly appropriate those revenues according to their own legislation, to declare and wage war – and if the Executive is undermining or outright ignoring the decisions of the Judiciary as it sees fit for its political agenda (having ostensibly been captured by private interests), and if the Judiciary is abandoning the faithful application of the Constitution and it’s intent, then *there are no laws to follow* and ***the Constitution is dead***. Null and void.

   Please tell me you understand.

   “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, ***Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.*** Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. ***But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.***”
