PRESIDENT BIDEN, THAT THING YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW

PRESIDENT BIDEN, THAT THING YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.  - Thomas Jefferson



Following, President Biden, is from 'The Declaration of Independence' - that thing you failed, miserably, to recite during your campaign.


" ... 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 the 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. ... "


Have you read it? 

Do note, Sir, governments are instituted and derive powers from "Consent of the Governed." 

With despotism, " ... it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government ... ". 

Clear enough.

Freedom is not subject to whim (constraining/restraining) caveat.

Shot heard 'round the world, as lore goes, birthed America - freedom.

Freedom is under attack; the unsettling puzzle taking shape looks like by foreign enemy with domestic proxy. 

Appearances reality. 

Descendants - tens and tens of millions - of the gunfighters who fired "the shot" are, for now, civilly voicing objection to government; their right, their duty.

And the Constitution sides with them - 'We the People.' 

On watch defenders sworn to Constitution, not government, and therefore the citizenry; their duty, and pledged allegiance. 

There's anger.

Growing.

Illegal orders and laws need not be formally fought.

The operative word "illegal" demands - by Declaration, by Constitution - the governed ignore, disobey; again, it is their right, it is their duty.

Chaos Theory - nonlinearity - germane.

'Spontaneous American Combustion' - from dream awakening me from sleep. 

What is it?

I don't know, exactly. 

But ...

BOOM! 

With simultaneous sympathetic booms.

Their right, their duty. 

In other words, courage, again, making for a second shot heard 'round the world - to preserve America. 

So new government laid to effect the Safety and Happiness of the governed.

Objectively, as history foretells coupled with reasoning and common sense, that seems a plausible way ahead.  

Though confounding pieces of the puzzle yet set.

The Rock of Lexington! On the monument is inscribed words attributed to the minuteman commander Captain John Parker – “Stand your ground, don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
Here is once again, now.
