Declaration of Independence 2.0: Restoring the Republic
Infowars
Radio host Alex Jones today called for a second American Revolution led by states who would secede from the federal government and reconstitute the Republic under the terms of the Declaration of Independence, bill of rights and constitution. (Read the transcript here).
The call for Americans to rally behind a restoration of the Republic and the bill of rights comes on the back of a burgeoning secessionist movement that has swept the country with residents from all 50 states submitting petitions to the White House calling for states to withdraw from the union and form their own independent governments. The petitions have received a combined number of signatures totaling over a million.
During his nationwide broadcast today, Jones laid out the battle plan for secession, emphasizing that states must first secede from the federal government, which has gone rogue, and then use the terms of the Declaration of Independence to restore the Republic, not create a new country.
Jones stressed that he was calling for a cultural restoration in the spirit of the bill of rights – a newly unified America under the Constitution – and not a violent overthrow, noting that it was the states that created the Constitution and the federal government in the first place.
Jones noted that the only course to restoring liberty was clear – “To follow the founding document of the Republic, the Declaration of Independence, wherein it is clearly stated that it is the right and the duty of the American people, when their government becomes destructive and tyrannical, to abolish and reconstitute it in a form that protects our liberties.”
“We are not calling for secession to form new separate countries, we are calling for secession because the states created the Constitution, bill of rights and federal government, and the federal government itself has been hijacked by foreign special interests – mainly banking cartels,” said Jones.
“I am calling for people to be educated about how we can secede to restore the Republic,” said Jones, warning that the media was attempting to characterize the entire movement as a plot to bring down America when in fact America has already been captured and taken over by the political and financial elite.
“This is the states putting their foot down and saying we are going to reconstitute the federal government under the bill of rights and constitution, we’re going to kick out the bureaucrats, the lobbyists, the foreign criminals, and the Federal Reserve who have taken over,” explained Jones.
The radio host also put the call out for Congressman Ron Paul to head up such a movement and utilize his vast network of grass roots liberty-loving activists to lead the charge, as well as using his contacts in each state to begin the process of secession in the legislature.
Harvard constitutional law scholar and adviser to Ron Paul, Edwin Viera, appeared on the syndicated radio broadcast and agreed with Alex Jones’ constitutional battle plan, with the declaration of independence as the centerpiece of legal authority.
Ron Paul’s former congressional chief of staff and founder of the Von Mises institute, Lew Rockwell, also appeared on the special broadcast and concurred with Jones’ strategy that now is the time to launch our offensive and restore the republic.
The right of the people to reconstitute their government if it becomes oppressive and onerous is clearly outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
“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.”
Preamble, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
In the aftermath of petitions from all 50 states to secede being posted on the White House website and signed by over a million Americans, the secessionist movement has been portrayed as anti-American, unpatriotic and even treasonous. In reality, as Ron Paul has emphasized, it is as American as apple pie and George Washington.
The most popular petition out of all 50 that have been posted on the White House website applies to Texas and reads as follows;
“The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.”
The call for states to secede from the union, one now backed by over a million Americans, is part of a wider disenfranchisement with how the country has been infested and hijacked by a crony political elite and the principles of the founders decimated.
As over a million Americans express their disenfranchisement with the federal government by supporting a secessionist movement that has spread like wildfire, it is time to call for a new declaration of independence and a new commitment to restore the Republic in the face of an enemy that has subverted America from within.
The United States government has been seized by domestic and foreign banking cartels. This fact is so transparently obvious that talking heads on CNBC now laugh about it.
While Americans are being told to brace for tax hikes, spending cuts and a myriad of other austerity measures, the Federal Reserve has been sending trillions of dollars to foreign banks.
The federal government is supposed to represent the states, but it doesn’t, it represents the interests of the political and banking elite who themselves have no allegiance whatsoever to America.
Infowars is calling on patriots to start a movement to draft Ron Paul as the head of a brand new effort to restore the Republic, restore the bill of rights and opt out of the counterfeit America the banking elite has subverted and fashioned to serve their own interests.
The establishment media is already demonizing the secessionist movement as a rag-tag group of fringe kooks and paranoid racists, when in reality as the Daily Caller uncovered, it is comprised of former Marines, parents, business owners and ordinary mechanics.
Meanwhile, Obama supporters and other statists have called on the government to punish those putting their signatures to the secession petitions by having them stripped of their citizenship, deported and exiled.
It’s time to re-assert the narrative on secession and put it in its proper context, which is not an infantile reaction to the fact that Barack Obama won the election, but an expression of extreme uneasiness at the direction in which the country is heading, a widespread discontent that has been ongoing for long before Obama even took office, and a new commitment calling on states to nullify unconstitutional laws and regulations and secede from the increasingly tyrannical federal government.
Watch Ron Paul’s farewell speech below in which he skewers authoritarianism in all its forms and captures the true spirit of liberty which should drive the movement to secede from the federal government and reconstitute America under the Declaration of Independence.
CORRECTION: Pardon my dyslexia, in my previous post, Left should be Right.
However, in these times the old Johnny Cash Song , THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS ON THE LEFT, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS ON THE RIGHT , THE ONE ON LEFT IS IN THE MIDDLE, & THE ONE IN THE REAR IS A METHODIST is never more fitting. It’s hard to determine any difference between the parties, Rhetoric iappears to be the only separation. Both sides feed at the same trough.
No matter which side’s ego is being stroked at any given moment we the people need to keep their feet properly warmed.
It appears to me that the same hard left construct that gives all the power to corporations and
has little if any concern for the people is behind this movement. What happens to Social Security and Medicare for those who secede? The people can bugger off and die. Destroy it at the Fed. level, we ALL go down. Privatization removes all constraint to corruption. Situational ethics and morality, rule the day. Only the elite have a voice, a right to live. You, ….not so much.
Contrary to popular thought, Soc. Sec.& Medicare are NOT entitlement programs and are not contributing to the fiscal deficit. Look it up.
And yes, the new medical program is flawed, why not a concerted effort to fix those flaws?
Divide and Conquer has always worked, why change the game plan now? All or Nothing???
IF you think the states or Libertarians have YOUR best interests at heart, THINK AGAIN . The Corporate agenda , at the State level, (A.L.E.C.) non judicial precedents, Gerrymandering,
is causing the problems and now attempting to swoop in under the guise of saviours, portraying themselves as the ONLY fix. Wrong, ….. there are many ways, to skin a cat.
Granted, there are many causes to fault Obama, number 1 on the list is bending over and taking it where the ‘sun don’t shine’ from the TEA PARTY led far left Republican Party. When the Libertarian KOCH BROS. funded groups get fired up, they no longer reason, they become Bible spouting reactionary vigilantes, led around by the nose until they outlive their usefullness, only in the end to be disposed of by the very elite they empowered. You can bet Kochs are funding both sides to keep everyone occupied as they busily further their controls.
WE need to en masse’ pressure Obama to comply with OUR wishes, not seek to cause further dissent or overthrow everything to fix a few problems. Use OUR brains, not succumb to corporate fed reactionary fear mongering propaganda. When cooler heads prevail, we can effect the needed changes.
Instead of this course, wouldn’t it be better to join together , hold govt. feet to the fire and institute REAL reforms? We need a multi party elective system, not a public auction for seats. To fall victim to the power of focused money is only going to end with the knife to your own throats, after you secure their total power FOR THEM. They bought you cheap, laugh at your ignorance, why would they then value your continued existence?
………Just a thought,
