The Toothless Tiger

Lysander Spooner observed that the Constitution either created the government that we now have or was powerless to prevent it. 

The reason the Constitution has become a toothless tiger is because it has failed to protect us from the abuse of power by the ruling class. It has failed because we let it.

The Constitution is only as strong as the people's determination to be free. If the people want to be free they must take the responsibility to hold elected officials accountable. If they fail to do so the elected officials will continue  to violate the Constitution without consequences. It is not the Constitution that needs to be held responsible, it is the people. Unless we insist that the rulebook is followed we will continue being slaves in the land of the free. As long as we allow it they will continue passing legislation which will benefit their friends at the expense of the people.

Only a moral and virtuous people are capable of freedom and due to apathy, ignorance and neglect we gave squandered the gift of liberty which was purchased with the blood of our ancestors; American and otherwise.

The problem is that whenever government is created, the vast majority of the people become subject/slaves to a ruling class. In any society where the people do not posess equal rights and treatment under the law, there will always be masters and slaves. Today the representatives of the financial elite write the laws and the rest of us are expected to comply and when we do we our giving our consent.

When God gave us liberty he also required that we govern ourselves or be ruled by tyrants. George Washington once said "Government is like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

He realized that if a government was not confined to its proper role it would become a tyrannical force which would destroy rather than defend the rights of the people.

Keith, finally something from you with which I whole-heartedly agree. You stated, "It is not the Constitution that needs to be amended it is the people."

This seems to be a change in thinking from some of your previous posts, but a welcome change.

If the Constitution is a toothless tiger, then it is the states and the people who are responsible to put teeth into it. We must learn the Constitution, then demand adherence to it.

This is why I say the Constitution is the Solution.

The Constitution is not the solution, it is the people standing behind it that give it the capacity to protect us. The Constitution can only be the solution if the people are willing to take the responsibility to hold the elected officials accountable.

As long as Irresponsible voters continue to elect unethical men and women to Congress, the Constitution will continue to be powerless.

Whether the Constitution supports liberty or tyranny depends entirely upon who is charge. If the bankers and the financial elite are in control it will promote tyranny, but if the people are calling the shots it can be the solution.

The Constitution has not been the solution past and never will be unless the people rally around it. Amending the Constitution will not fix the problem. The ruling class will continue to violate any new amendments just as they have in the past.

Responsible individuals were created by God to rule themselves not to be subjects of a ruling class.

Two things must be done:

  1. The Magistrates need to understand the doctrine of the lesser magistrates so their consciences can be strengthened to stand.
  2. The people need to understand the doctrine so they rally around the magistrates who do stand.

 "The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine teaches that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes immoral/unjust laws or policies, the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both a right and duty to refuse obedience to that superior authority. If necessary, the lesser authorities may even actively resist the higher authority."

Get the book and read The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate ! Also available at this site is The Magedeburg Confession   "...an important historical work that became the first in the history of mankind to set forth in a doctrinal format what only later came to be known as the Lesser Magistrate Doctrine."

Thanks for the links and the information. The "just following (criminal) orders" falsehood (deception) is precisely what it is each time someone, somewhere, offers that lie as a cover-up for their willful crimes.

In that link are similar messages concerning an obvious demarcation line (no grey area) between right and wrong.

Lori, I opened the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate. I agree. I wonder what came first the doctrine or Thomas Jefferson's quote "Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God".

Do you have a list of Bible scriptures that direct us to the 4 realms of government authority? 

Thanks

PS I learned about the Doctrine of Chances from the Ohio Attorney General this summer in a case they were prosecuting against a lawyer for criminal charges. Applying that every civilization has roughly a 200 yr existence throughout history. What makes us think our "Chances" are any different?

Rosanna, the Magdeburg Confession was written in 1550, waaay before T. Jefferson :)

I am rather new to reading the Bible, both Old and New Testament daily.  Not sure if I know or have marked specific references to the 4 realms of government authority, but i have certainly heard it in the IOTC Constitution Course and at church, that government is Individual, Family, Church and Civil.  

There is good reading at www.TheAmericanView.com.  

Lori,

Yea, I am familiar with the 4 realms of government I just haven't had time to get cross reference versus. I am over my head in judicial corruption. I have decided to start using Natural Law, Maxims and Doctrines in my pleadings because they don't even respect their own case opinions that support the laws. None of us can figure out how to get them to act civil in that third branch.  

The IOTC is great. I actually have the instruction manual but haven't started any classes yet. I also have the jury instruction set and would like to head that up since I am working with NLA. 

I have quite a few American View cd's. Thanks for posting the links.

Rosanna, the IOTC is giving their full Constitution Course over 2 Saturdays in January, and they livestream it, so you can participate from home.  I highly recommend you participate in the live class, you can ask questions etc. 

In the class you will learn HOW the Judicial turned from judging the law to using precedent to rule on cases.  If you have the manual, look at Lecture XI From Biblical Absolutes to Humanistic Relativism If you also have the video, watch it.

Do you know that it is written in the Constitution that Judges serve 'during good behavior'?  Nowhere does it say they serve for life.  

I found some Biblical reference to the 4 realms, https://bradmelton.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/biblical-jurisdictions-...

Yes Lori I do have the course and have taken it. In fact I am supposed to be teaching it with another fellow patriot but I am in over my head with legal wrangling trying to save my Dad from them murdering him on drugs for the profit of  my parents estate after Mom's murder that is still ongoing. http://eldermurderabuseandexploitation.blogspot.com/2014/02/1-elder...

The problem is people teach the constitution but nobody wants to enforce it or do anything. I showed the instructors I found a judge who doesn't have and oath of office and they did nothing. They are very THICK with the Ohio representatives and could have said something. I was shocked. I thought they would speak out. What good does it do to know and look the other way? I have learned most people are about "show".

BTW I checked out some of those videos on the lesser magistrate and thought they were great... You would be a great one to be involved in NLA for the common law grand juries. http://www.nationallibertyalliance.org/

Peroutka was at a meeting I went to a month ago talking about the 4 realms. He said YEA get the jury course started and was interested in NLA as I had ask him about it.

Thanks for you input and I will look at the bradmelton link.

Lori,

I stumbled over this video recently and when you mentioned you were reading the Bible I thought about you.

New World Order Bible Versions (Full Movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFtI_mVOXbQ

I got so engrossed in this video I was determined to finish it. (in sections) Great history in the writing of the Bible in this video and learned a lot about "them" altering it for the NWO. 

Perhaps others would like to watch it too.

The constitution of 1776 (Declaration of Independence) was written in defense of Liberty by people forced to do so under extreme victimization by organized criminals who called themselves The British.

Under that idea (American Dream) a number of people also wrote State Constitutions.

The authorities who became authorities under extreme victimization by organized criminals calling themselves The British also wrote a Statute that governed a Federal Union of Independent States and that was called The Articles of Confederation.

So...the Federal government existed before 1776 proven by the Declaration of Independence that was written by those authorities who proved their authority as those authorities drove out The British criminal armies from the Independent States.

People speaking of "The Constitution" of 1787 appear to be either ignorant of the facts or intentionally misleading the facts.

Which is it?
