Harnessing the Power of the Majority - Guest Post by Cheval
It will take years to undo the damage that has been caused by those who put their ideals, personal ambitions, prosperity, and passions ahead of the good of the nation and its citizens.
Tyrannous exaction brings on servile concealment; and that again calls forth tyrannous coercion. They move in a circle, mutually producing and produced; till at length nothing of humanity is left in the government, no trace of integrity, spirit, or manliness in the people, who drag out a precarious and degraded existence under this system of outrage upon human nature.”
Edmund Burke, Speech on the Nabob of Arcot’s Debt. 1785
Harnessing the Power of the Majority
The Inverted Paradigm
Guest post by Cheval
The urgency to address the Left’s totalitarian advance has never been more acute. We did not arrive at this point overnight. It took years and decades to arrive at our current destination.
Therefore, it will take years to undo the damage that has been caused by those who put their ideals, personal ambitions, prosperity, and passions ahead of the good of the nation and its citizens.
Over the past century, in a macro sense, the Left has been pulling the Right in a leftward direction year after year, issue by issue, with the Right constantly giving in or compromising to the point that with each change comes a “new normal,” resulting in a steady shift to the left across-the-board. What was considered at one point the historical center is now deemed far-right by those on the Left. The Left’s incessant pull is finally causing backlash and a great awakening amongst the slumbering who are being rudely jolted to the reality of storm raging around them.
Today’s extreme jerk to the left is resulting in unprecedented government overreach, overstepping constitutional limits and boundaries that have never been crossed before, and pushing a majority to finally reach a breaking point, concluding that enough is enough.
Unfortunately, those with wealth, power, influence, and decisional authority have bought into the Left’s vision of a Great Reset mostly because they selfishly believe they will derive great personal benefit or enrichment. It is important to understand that the Great Reset intends to supplant the world order and existence as we know it today and do so with impunity and in totality. It is not some fictional conspiracy theory, but a no-kidding reality.
Unlike past new normals, the ultimate objective of this reset is the establishment of a global government, run by the global elites of course, and the invention of a new global citizen living under medical, economic, and social subjugation within the new power structure. The notion of world domination is no longer the matter of bad sci-fi movies. Implementation of the Great Reset is being carried out before our very eyes.
There are multiple means by which the reset is being conducted, but primarily via two paths. The first is by institutional and corporate infiltration, most impactfully through stolen elections worldwide and here at home to install the leaders to control policies aimed at accomplishing the reset.
The second is via the creation of a fabricated global pandemic to implement controlling policies, push inoculations to cull the world’s populations, particularly in the West where the greatest defiance would be anticipated, quell inevitable uprisings, and use fear, social division, isolation, and lockdowns to restrain pushback. The unfathomable policies and mandates we are experiencing are direct results of, up until now, successfully implementing these two means, gaining control over the levers of local, state, and national institutions and corporations.
The timing of all this is not coincidental. It has been in planning for decades, brought to a head and accelerated because of Trump’s election, temporarily tripping up globalist plans and schedules. Their aims have consequently intensified and become more assertive, becoming downright devious and underhanded, spurred on by successes achieved to date.
To the globalists, now is their moment in history. The die has been cast. There is no turning back.
It is also the moment in history that the world stands up to forever end this scourge; otherwise, future generations will never experience the freedoms with which today’s and past generations have been blessed.
Given where we are, it is vital to reestablish fundamental thinking for Americans. The original paradigm on which our country was founded is that people have inalienable rights that are conferred by the Creator. Man was provided dominion and authority to create societies. To bring about those societies, men then create laws through representation, thus creating government to secure and protect those rights and enforce laws. In short, the dominion and authority flows from the Creator to man, to society, to government. This model is the basis for Americanism and the great American experiment.
What the Left has done over time has been to cleverly invert this paradigm in the minds of several generations, flipping the paradigm altogether, preventing the majority from recognizing and exercising its true power. The Left represented as the globalists, politicians, academics, corporatists, and those steering our news, entertainment, and culture, has promoted an alternate paradigm that the dominion and authority flows from government to society, to man. The increasingly secular Left, especially the die-hard socialists and communists, promote erasure of the Creator from the equation altogether in recognition that government cannot assert its preeminence and authority if the populace believes in a higher power. Eliminate the Creator, enable control of society, subjugate the people, thus making government the ultimate referee of everyone’s lives. Without a higher power, the void is replaced by government.
A surprising number of Americans today believe that our rights confer from the government as the ultimate authority and arbiter. Another misunderstanding is that many Americans do not fully understand that we are a republic based on democratic principles, not a democracy. Our nation is comprised of sovereign states, bound together under a ratified contract: the Constitution. As contractual parties, all states abide by the Constitution, and the federal government, until recently, accedes to states’ independence and sovereignty. By invoking the Creator, man, society (states), government paradigm, the people come before the states, and the states come before the federal government. The contract even states that all powers not enumerated to the federal government, meaning specifically granted, reside with the states. Similarly, people also often misunderstand the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution to believe that the federal government has greater authority than the states. This is not the case. It means where federal and state laws conflict, federal laws prevail. Not mandates; laws.
Many Americans are largely unaware that their state can reject and cast off federal entities from their state. This is why state law and governors have the ultimate authority in their states, authority that may not be infringed even in times of catastrophes or emergencies. This is why federal disaster funds, for example, are not provided until the governor declares an emergency and requests those funds. So too can a governor override a federal executive order mask mandate; a power not enumerated.
Often overlooked is the authority of local sheriffs, who take an oath to their State constitutions and are elected and charged with enforcing State law in their county. Sheriffs have authority and jurisdiction above Federal authorities, including the president, in their county. This was by founders’ design, to disburse power and prevent tyranny at the local level. A sheriff’s authority was upheld by the Supreme Court in Printz v. US in 1997. In the Creator, man, society, government paradigm, sheriffs are bound to enforce and execute state lawful aims, not federal law, lest they face replacement next election cycle. No other individuals in America possess this type of authority.
Americans have become accustomed to their State’s complying with federal executive orders and mandates for decades, primarily because if States fail to comply, federal funds are at risk, creating an accepted form of federal coercion. We participate in national and local elections, electing representatives with the hope that they theoretically represent our best interests, although this is now rarely the case. Throughout our lives and education, we have been conditioned to believe that the federal government possesses ultimate authority. It is paramount to understand that the States possess the ultimate authority through your consent, not that of the federal government.
Understanding the true flow of authority is critical to understanding how to harness the power of the majority. When you understand that governmental authorities in our country stem from the represented via our consent, it enables action we may not have considered.
I cannot take credit for this notion, but I agree with those who contend that the US is a Red country, with Blue cities. A state is not Blue or Red solely because of the characterization of its governor or legislature. This is even more true as we continue to reveal that elections have been manipulated down to the local levels for years. If honest elections can be restored, my contention would bear out, and the true majority would become even more evident.
The implications of a Red majority are numerous; most significant is that a Red majority living in a nation ruled by consent has the power to drive the nation, and as a majority, we need to start acting like a majority. We all know that the governance of our society was established based on the system of checks and balances by the three branches of government. However, the people are the fourth and ultimate check and balance on government power.
Whether galvanizing the power of the majority through peaceful marches, protests, non-compliance, and boycotts, the key to harnessing the power of the majority is to rise above the fear of and the paradigm of federal omnipotence. The current regime only possesses the power and authority we allow.
As we witness a great awakening amongst our fellow citizens, it is now time for the majority’s call to action. Understanding the true flow of authority, and remembering the Creator, to man, to society, to government model of Americanism should provide us the courage to face the trials that lie ahead.
