A STORM IS COMING

A storm is coming because We, the prudent people of the United States of America, forgot rightful authority in this nation. Just flat let it slip our mind. When we forgot rightful authority, we lost the only viable self-image available to citizens of the United States of America.

Today virtually no citizen in this nation understands exactly where the government of the United States of America gets its authority from. Because we the people do not understand where the government ordained and established by we the people gets its authority from, the present government of the United States has slipped into a vacuum of authority that is being filled by the governors themselves. Since the governors have no more insight into the rightful authority for the government of the United States than the people, there is no mechanism available to hold the governors accountable to authority. The governors are becoming subject themselves, not to the demands of authority, but to the demands of power. And power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Whoa! Hold it there, pard. What gives you the authority to talk about these things? What are your credentials? Who is this guy anyway? Is he going to try to finesse us into agreeing with his opinion about authority so that when we agree we'll be subject to HIS authority? Fat chance!

Actually, if I have any authority, it comes from understanding where the real authority for the government of the United States of America comes from. And it sure doesn't come from me. And it doesn't come from we, the people of the United States. And it doesn't come from the elected Representatives of we, the people. And it doesn't come from the Constitution of the United States of America. And it doesn't come from the Bill of Rights. It comes from the Truth. If I have any authority, it comes from the fact that I am presenting to you the Truth about the government of the United States of America.

The Truth, you say! What you call "The Truth" is nothing more and nothing less than your opinion! Who do you think you are calling your opinion the Truth? God?!

Well, no; I'm not. I've already told you who I am. Now I know it might be shocking to find out that a nobody like me could actually find out the truth about the government of the United States of America, what with so many people around who have given up on finding out the truth about anything in reality. But I've never suffered from that particular malady. I've always believed the truth was available to us. If we looked hard enough.

The truth is nothing more than a statement in words that accurately illustrates the way objective reality is organized. It's an extremely helpful concept, the truth. In fact, without it, people become hopelessly lost: they lose their identity. Without the truth to guide them, people have no access to a map that shows them the way around in this somewhat complex and potentially confusing place we call the world. In other words, without the truth, people have no viable self-image. Because I figured out the truth about the government of the United States of America, I discovered the viable self-image of the United States of America and that discovery authorized me to send this message to the citizens of the United States.

*************************************

This is the Truth about authority in the United States of America: The nation called the United States of America was created by its Founders to embody a definition of the Truth about government on this planet. From the day the government of the United States of America was born, the government itself was nothing more and nothing less than words designed by the Founders of this nation to define precisely the Truth about the thing called government. And that definition of Truth was meant by the Founders of the United States of America to be understood by every citizen of this nation to be Law. All the authority of the government of the United States of America was a product of the accuracy of this definition of the Truth about government on this planet. Our self-image as a nation was precisely defined by this definition of Truth. We got amnesia when we forgot the Truth about the government of the United States.

Now this is not my opinion. It is a matter of historical fact that can be evident to any person who takes the time and expends the effort to gaze back into the past and there review the documentary evidence that proves without a shadow of a doubt that the authority of the government of the United States of America is composed of nothing more and nothing less than a definition of Truth about government on this planet.

The storm is coming because we, the people of the United States, have forgotten where the authority of this government comes from. When we, the people of the United States of America, forgot this Truth, the government of the United States of America lost every shred of authority it possesses on this planet. All that was left was power. Raw, brute force. It is that raw, brute force that threatens us over the horizon.

We can keep the storm at bay if we will but remember where the authority of the government of the United States is couched. I will take you to the documentary evidence that defines precisely how the government of the United States received authority. I expect you to follow me now because the return of this nation to its rightful authority is the duty of every citizen of the United States of America; and if I've learned anything at all about this nation, it is that there are citizens here who will do their duty.

THE LAW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Revolution that has occurred in this nation cannot be seen until we understand that the foundation for Law in the United States of America has been destroyed. Let me explain: certain words summarize the foundation for the Law that is to have authority over every citizen of the United States of America. Unless these words are understood to be Law, the self-image cannot exist that was intended by the Founders of the United States of America to be the foundation upon which this nation rested.

Few thinking people in this nation would argue with the point I have just made. All legal authorities are quick to agree that the United States of America is "a nation of Laws". People do not rule the United States, political theorists tell us, this nation is ruled by Laws. And all across the nation, all the prudent people nod agreement as if their agreement to the formula proves there is substantial unity in this nation.

That unity is an illusion. Even when people agree with the formula that equates government authority with the law, there is nothing of substance agreed upon. The substance of such a formula is seen when we examine the laws that allegedly rule the nation. Only when we agree on which "laws" actually rule the nation can we be said to be in substantial agreement. Let's see if we can find such agreement by taking a close look at the concept itself, the concept called "law."

We all tend to relate to "law" as if it was made up of nothing but words. While it is obvious that law cannot be seen outside the context of words, real law is more, much more, than words. A real law is a picture drawn in the consciousness of people by words, a picture that illustrates what reality actually looks like. In other words, real law is a subjective illustration that accurately represents objective reality. Notice I said "real" law. Words can be called law that do not draw an accurate picture of what objective reality looks like. Those words, even though some may call them law, are not real Law; words like that are more accurately described as lies.

A viable self-image is found only in people who have the ability to tell the difference between real law and lies. The United States of America was once composed of people who had the ability to tell the difference between a law and a lie. As a matter of historical fact, this nation was created by such people.

The people who founded this nation understood that a law was nothing more, and nothing less, than a word that describes the process through which our consciousness judges the way reality is organized. Which takes us back to the definition of law I stated earlier: A law is a subjective illustration that accurately represents objective reality. There are other words in the English language that describe exactly the same process described by the word "law." These words are "fact" and "truth." Truth, Law, and Fact are synonymous terms that refer to exactly the same object in reality: the process through which our subjective consciousness grasps objective reality. In other words, when we think (or to be more accurate, when we believe) we have perceived the actual way certain aspects of objective reality are organized, we label that perception "truth" or "law" or "fact". Either term will suffice because all three point to precisely the same activity: a mind that has become convinced it has accurately grasped objective reality.

The foundation of a viable self-image is composed of two articles of faith: (1) the belief that the person is actually in contact with objective reality, and (2) the belief that such contact will allow the person to find a way of life. Without this foundation a person has no hope that can sustain them, and no certainty that can provide them the power to act. But these articles of faith do not comprise the complete foundation for a viable self-image. Intertwined within these articles of faith like the concrete poured into the structure of the foundation of a house, are certain laws, or facts, or--as the Founder's of the United States of America called them--self-evident truths.

Earlier I contended that a nation's self-image is composed the same way an individual's self-image is composed. The things the individual holds to be true about him/her self creates that individual's self-image. A nation's self-image is composed of the things the citizens in that nation agree are true about the nation.

The fact that virtually no citizen of this nation recognizes as Law the self-evident truths the Founders intended every citizen in this nation to believe as fact is conclusive evidence that a Revolution has occurred in this nation. Without treating the self-evident truths expounded by the Founders as truth, fact, and Law, the viable self-image designed by the Founders for the United States of America simply cannot exist. To cease to treat as Law the definition of reality, the self-evident truth, the laws, defined by the Founders is Revolution.

The Restoration of the duly authorized government of the United States of America will come when we, the people of the United States, once again recognize these words to have the rightful authority of Law in this nation. On that day, the viable self-image of the United States of America will be restored.

As the first step toward Restoration, I will remind you of the words that were understood by the Founders of the government of the United States to provide the viable self-image of the United States of America:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation--

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 affect 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 shewn, 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..."(what follows is a list of grievances against the King of England which concludes with the following words:) "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

If you want to understand how truly mixed up our nation has become, think about the fact that every citizen of this nation from fourth grade up knows that those words were uttered by the people who founded the United States of America, yet virtually nobody understands that those words define the foundation for the Law that is to have authority over every citizen in this nation. Fourth graders don't know it, you don't know it, the President of the United States doesn't know it, the Supreme Court of the United States doesn't know it, but every person who participated in founding the United States of America knew it! And I can prove it.
