NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY

NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY

-
Emerging from the worded wisdom comprising the written text of the Constitution, the government of the United States of America was born.  As the creature of the States in compact, it was referred to as the “General Government”.  The union of the States itself, in terms of the People, became an entity on the world stage, and we call it “America”.
America is a sovereign nation-State Republic inside of which functions the Democratic principle. It is a Democracy within a Republic, with the Democracy being limited by the law of the Republic.

The General government’s authority derives its legitimacy from the bosom of the People in their respective sovereign nation-State Republics, referred to in abbreviated vernacular as “the States”.  The People won their sovereignty in war, defeating England, and bestowed some of that sovereignty through their respective States to, first, the Articles of Confederation and then shortly afterward to the General government. That is the source of empowerment for the General government. The States each gave of themselves a portion of their sovereignty, that it might empower that newly-created government for mutual advantage.

Many killed for it. Many died for it. But as it is even today, the majority of the people at that time did neither. British loyalists and Tories opposed our Revolution, while only a minority of the Colonists fought for our Revolution. Most  Colonists abstained from the actual fighting.


Eighteenth Century man’s view of war included the assumption that from any war must emerge a victor and a vanquished.  When they united to throw off British governance the Colonies defeated one of the most powerful military mechanisms of their day. In so doing they established American sovereignty.  They bequeathed that sovereignty to us through a written Constitution.

Therefore, as Americans we each share in a national sovereignty.  Our sovereignty as America has survived for over twenty-three decades, despite a War Between The States, two mechanized World Wars, and a trans-generational Cold War which spawned a half-century spate of winner-less, futile, and costly wars across the last half of the twentieth century.

But we’re still here, still singing about Old Glory, still keeping a somewhat opaque candle glowing in a dimming room, still breathing air as “America”.  To put it mildly the world knows we’re here and thinks we’re “real”.  America. “One Nation Under God, Indivisible….” And, sovereign.

The challenge is how to keep our sovereignty – how to retain American sovereignty in a world blindly morphing into global governance. Powerful forces exist, and are quite busy in a networking infrastructure comprised of men who manage the globe’s economic theater, who seek to control the policies of nation-States, and who fancy themselves somewhat divinely commissioned to save mankind from himself, at whatever the cost. The direction is toward an oligarchic collectivism undergirding a facist merger of the Corporate Dynasty with Government, based on amassed “laws” written to facilitate international trade and political ontology. It is backed by the assets of all of the nation-States on the roster of the United Nations. Those assets include national militaries and the corporate industries which supply militaries with the goods to do what militaries do.

The globalist collectivist oligarchy has ridden inside our Country’s government on trade agreements, treaties, and pacts. They come as economic methods, political methods, sociological methods, and ecclesiastical methods – and they all make demands for compromising our Constitution.

Right square in its path stands the United States Constitution. That is, in part, why our Constitution, and our sovereignty as a nation-State Republic, is under siege.

THE UNITED NATIONS (UN)

The United Nations (UN) is sitting right here on U.S. soil in New York City, on land donated to the UN by the Rockefeller family.  The United Nations would appreciate a little voluntary relinquishment of America’s sovereignty.  For one thing, the UN wants the authority vested in the World Court to supersede the authority in our U.S. Constitution.  In other words, if the World Court were to decide that our Constitution’s Second Amendment stood in the way of world crime reduction, the ‘superior authority’ of the World Court fully expects to over-ride our Second Amendment and use the U.S. government’s systems of force (enforcement power) to effect the collection of private firearms across America.

That is one example of an attack on American sovereignty, and its current face is that of the UN’s Small Arms Treaty.

How the World Court might think it plausible to do such a thing is indicative of the UN’s objective, which is to establish a higher sovereignty through world government, under which all nation-States, including America, must surrender some of their sovereignty in recognition of a higher external source of authority.

That is just what the Colonies did to form the United States of America. At the time of the American Revolution there were thirteen British Colonies here, and their subsequent union through their compact (the Constitution) engendered their sovereignty. Today, the UN wishes to play the role of the General government of the world, and its “Colonies” are the nearly two hundred nation-States on their membership roster. The hierarchy of authority is the same pattern for the UN’s control over the world’s nation-States as that pattern of our General government’s control over the Colonies, the several States.

We can see today how our own General government ignores its limitations as enumerated and granted at Article 1, Section 8. The massive scandals of May, 2013, show clearly how corruptible centralized power becomes once it converts its citizens to ‘subjects’. The States have been bullied out of their due sovereignty, and most States have forgotten their right to the act of nullification. Half the country thinks that the War Between The States locked the several States into the compact under all conditions. And in the midst of that argument the entire reality of the sovereignty of the individual is forgotten or overlooked or just ignored. The States now fear the General government in Washington D.C. more than they respect their own citizens, to whom they owe primary fealty.

Our General government itself is signed onto the roster of nation-State members in the United Nations, which would love to see Americans disarmed that it might better shape this nation into a more compliant resource to be shared by every other nation-State on earth, fairly and equally of course.

That has much to do with why national sovereignty is prerequisite to the experience of freedom of the
individual to own and manage his life without interference from his government.
