American politics revolve around three structures: the Federal Government, State Government, and the People. As we discussed in The Right to be Salty, the People are in authority over both the Federal and State governments. We now need to see the People as a government.
Over the years men greedy for power have altered our perception of the governments and their responsibilities. The People are believed to have no power except voting. With the corruption of 2020, even that is now being threatened. The State role has also been devalued and rights have been stripped away over the years. Now, most of the power is believed to be in the Federal government. Many people believe that they have to obey the government even it they are taking away liberties and doing physical harm.
We are witnessing mass corruption on every level of government, with the State and Federal governments doing an insurrection against the people. They are trying to replace our constitution with Marxism or Socialism, either way it’s a threat to the Constitution and our freedom.
To get the balance of power corrected, we need to return to the Constitution and We the People. To accomplish this with least blood shed, the State Legislature needs to act. The Militia Officer needs to be appointed and the governments held accountable. This position needs to be someone military trained to properly organize the militias across the state. The Militia Officer is structured like the County Sheriff. They govern under the Constitution and Common Law. He has the right to bring charges against elected and appointed officials that affect his constituents. The Militia is different than the Sheriff in that the Militia doesn’t police the citizens. They can stop riots, but not stop someone speeding. The difference is that a riot has become an illegal militia and is performing military threats.
The Militia has been divided into two groups, the organized and unorganized divisions. As I proved, this is unconstitutional. Instead the groups should be the National Guard and the Citizen Militia. The National Guard fulfills the Constitutional function of being called by Congress to assist the Federal Government. This is well organized and no changes are needed. The “unorganized” or Citizen Militia is charged with protecting the citizens from the government. In other words, the Militia polices the government.
When the Judicial is corrupt how can the Militia Officer bring charges in a fair court? We need to go back to the intent of the founders. At the founding, the states were small and independent. They understood their power to be along side the Federal Government and not under it. The Militia was made up of all the citizens and performed all the Constitutional policing and aided the Federal Government as needed.
If the State Governor conspired with the Federal Government to dominate the people, the Militia would have not only refuse to enforce the order but removed the governor. If the Judiciary refused to hear the case, they would have have formed a military trial and removed the governor. The states would then team together to confront the Federal government.
Today we have divided out all the parts of the Militia, so how it looks will be different than at the founding, but the functions are the same. We have to go back to the basics outlined in the Constitution. We have the founders words of intent and what we should do. Here are the basic facts we can work from:
- The People are the source of authority over the governments given by God. No law or action from any government can change that.
- The Constitution gives basic structures that direct and limit the Federal government, and to a lesser degree State governments.
- The Militia is a State level entity charged with protecting the people from the government. They have the right to ensure this even to the point to arms and rebellion if need be.
- The Federal Government has the right to request service of the Militia for only three reasons, enforce laws, insurrection, and invasion. These are not the only uses of the Militia, but only the uses the Federal government can use them for.
- The State Government is to appoint officers over the whole Militia. Currently there are only officers over the part of the Militia that the Federal Government accesses. The Citizen Militia Officer needs to be appointed. The State government can NOT recall the Appointed Officer, the discipline can be by the court of the whole Congress or by the People.
- The Militia Officers needs to organize the population in the state to help protect the Constitution and the liberties of the citizens. This is through arms of old and information warfare of new.
- The Judicial aspect is not spelled out and therefore left to the State. Since the Federal Constitution expects this to be defined, it can be done immediately. The State Legislature has the authority to add to the Militia’s in their Constitution but not limit it.
- The Federal Constitution states that Impeachment trials are not Jury trials.
Judicial Options:
- Make a law that states the Court can not refuse to hear a case from the Militia Officer.
- Militia Officer can form a military court to remove someone from office only. Criminal charges would go through regular courts. This is more of a compromise since the original Military Courts had martial law on treason.
- Militia Officer can appeal to existing Federal Military Court to remove someone from office or charged with treason.
