While today’s political dynamics spotlight our need to clean house, today’s situation also offers the latest in a series of gradual steps which, similar to the movement of the clock’s hands, continue unnoticeable.

At our beginning, our Founders all took into account the frailties of man and the adverse potential which human nature can offer; so much so that Madison acknowledged such tempting in Federalist #51 when stating, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary…”

Jefferson was more poignant when stating, “….In questions of power then let no more be heard of confidence in man; but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

The “mischief” that Jefferson mentions first became public over one hundred years ago with President Wilson’s declaration to “make the world safe for democracy.” Years later, in 1940, FDR doubled down that America “…must be the great arsenal of democracy.” One may wonder where did these fables come from without democracy being mentioned in “the law of the land,” our Constitution!

More unsettling was how this became echoed throughout America.

Since that time, while this false governing has become America’s standard, it doesn’t make it legal or correct! However, the manner and speed to which this was adopted makes one wonder, especially when every school child, in earlier days, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, which in part stated, “…and to the Republic for which it stands…”

Back in 1928, the War Department’s “Training Manual No. 2000-25 defined democracy in part as “A government of the masses…attitude toward property is communistic…” It also stated that our framers “made a very marked distinction between a republic and a democracy…” It also cited that the Founders “had formed a republic.”

Jefferson’s mischief re-emerged when, in 1936, Senator Homer Truett (D-WA) called for the Manual’s removal. By 1952, our Army praised democracy in it’s Manuel 21-13, The Soldier’s Guide; by falsely stating; “Because the United States is a democracy…” I emphasis this misunderstanding of democracy since it misaligns the public’s understanding and patriotic regard onto what America isn’t and because it represents a necessary and final step preceding socialist rule.

An indication of how near socialism is to taking effect is the heightening of the violence. Eventually it’s level will welcome any method for control. Democracy is only a temporary pause, or in our American situation, a conditioning prior to the main event. Whatever structure which a democracy claims, it’s majority rule alone, is self defeating and suicidal by nature. As Madison stated, “…as short in their lives as they are violent in their deaths.”

It stymies our thinking that in these highly developed and progressive times, what was crystal clear to our Founders is cloudy at best, especially within our band of intellects who disperse their foggy knowledge onto our young. Clearly, facts and histories of our past are available. However, as this democracy belief reveals, true understanding is not today’s objective.

Consider a few more of the Founder’s universal thoughts: Edmund Randolph’s understanding of democracy, “…in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and trials of democracy.”

Alexander Hamilton, “We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in the despotism or in the extremes of Democracy.”

Fisher Ames considered democracy, “a government by the passions of the multitude, or, no less correctly, according to the vices and ambitions of their leaders.”

These words reflect the general distaste and even fear of our Founders for such an unruly version of authority.

Hopefully, this will open eyes as to this drum beating of this indoctrination, which these weasels continue to douse upon all Americans. With the up coming elections, our prep needs to begin with the truth about our essential American being and governing substance; our Constitutional Republic.

Remember Benjamin Franklin’s answer to “..what have we got, a republic or a monarch?” Franklin’s reply, “A republic, if you can keep it.” First things first; our Republic needs to be realized and then, at that time, we must protect such an American Blessing!

Candidate-Ayotte in 2024 sounds just like candidate-Ayotte in 2010 on the issue of illegal immigration. From a Byron York article written in 2013:

Immigration wasn’t the main issue in the 2010 New Hampshire Senate race. But it was a topic of great interest for many Republican voters, and GOP candidate Kelly Ayotte took a pretty hard line. … “In the Senate, Kelly’s top immigration priority will be to secure our borders — no excuses,” said her campaign website. “Simultaneously, she will work to ensure that existing immigration laws are enforced, and is against amnesty.” … She wanted to make English the official language of the United States. … she said she might consider changing the Constitution to do away with the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship provision.

But all that tough talk turned out to be just that: TALK. By 2013, Ayotte was supporting “comprehensive immigration reform,” which is that lovely euphemism for AMNESTY. The bill Ayotte supported would have granted asylum to the then estimated ELEVEN MILLION illegals in the United States BEFORE any border security took effect.

Why the flip-flop? According to Byron York:

… the complex of business leaders, activists, lobbyists and politicos who are pushing the Gang of Eight bill is as active in Ayotte’s home state as elsewhere. But think back to 2010. To win votes, Ayotte had to take a hard-line position on immigration. Now, safely elected and making a place for herself in Washington, she has committed to the Gang of Eight. That’s a big change.

What would a “safely elected” Governor Ayotte do? History is pretty damn clear.

Democrats have shown that they are willing to go to the first step required for the State to take over private and religious schools. New Hampshire’s HB1610 requires all students in private, religious, and even home-school families to take the STATE standardized test.

Some have remarked, what’s the big deal? Those students should be able to do remarkably well on the State Standardized Assessment. They’ve received a non-public education and should do well.

One might believe that until they understand that the STATE assessments may be very different than an actual achievement test that is used in private schools and by home-school families.

Take a listen to this 15-minute video as Lisa Logan explains how government assessments measure much more than just academic knowledge. This is why it is important that all parents who have their children in a private, religious or who are home-schooled, need to fight against these kinds of state regulations.

Logan goes in-depth on the transformation of public education, which is why you want to make sure this never seeps into the private and religious schools.

This will explain why UNESCO is such a big supporter of School Choice in the U.S.  They know it’s the vehicle for government control.
