Do we have the same complaints the Founding Fathers had when they felt drove to rebel against England? No. We have MORE!

TRANSCRIPT
So what were some key points that were laid out in the Declaration of Independence about why they dissolved their union with the colonies of Great Britain? Because in the Declaration of Independence, they said that these things shouldn’t be done for light and transient purposes. That you can’t just be like, “Oh, you’re mean to me.” It’s got to be something serious. It’s got to be something that—not just because you’re angry—but there’s a real legitimate principled reason for the dissolving.
So they said that the king has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. So now, is that something that we see today? Pulling up new offices, sending out the officers of those offices to harass the people and to take away—to bother the people—and then to take away the things that they have, their substance. I mean, not just going in there and grabbing their food out of their plate, but their ability to be able to provide for their families. This is absolutely—we see the same thing going on today.
Right now, there are at least 345 agencies, government corporations, quasi-official agencies, boards, commissions, etc., which claim authority to write rules for individuals and businesses. None of these people are elected. None of these people are accountable. And in fact, the government doesn’t even know how many employees are a part of this system. They don’t even know. And so we have the same thing here—maybe even more so. I don’t know if the king had 345 different of these agencies out there. We’ve been able to find new ways to harass people.
And then we have examples of this. The feds come in and they arrest a family using the Commerce Clause of the vile… of the Constitution, saying, “Hey, you’re not allowed to sell raw milk.” So the federal government came into a local community and threw them in prison—just simply because—and ruined their ability to feed their families simply because they had the audacity to sell milk that still has vitamins in it.
We have OSHA. This is just last year—or this year, I’m sorry, January of this year—is fining workplaces over $13,500 for every infraction to accommodate President Biden’s vaccine mandate. So that never came to fruition, but that was something that they were prepared and ready to do. And it’s something that there’s a version of that’s happening all of the time to different businesses throughout the country. So yeah, they are—just like—they are eating out our substance.
Four companies accused of violating COVID-19 health protocols are fined by OSHA. So because they didn’t enforce mask mandates, they were fined by OSHA. So they’re eating out our substance. We’re seeing the same thing.
So another one: the king has affected to render the military independent and superior to the civil power. Okay, so meaning—he took it away from the Parliament even—and their ability to be able to dispatch the military—and took it to himself, as an individual, to be able to decide when the military is used.
So in the Constitution, the military is supposed to be under the civil power—meaning you have a Congress that has to declare war for the executive branch to be able to direct the military for a space of two years. And beyond—even closer to the civil power—the local people, you have the National Guard, and it should be the militias (that don’t exist right now, unconstitutionally). Your local governors were the ones that were supposed to be the ones that sent them out. And they could nullify—they could say, “No, this is an unjust war. This is improper,” and they wouldn’t send them out. So that’s what we have now.
But just like the king did during the 1700s, we have the president sending out 10,000 troops to Afghanistan as Taliban forces… So instead of Congress doing this, we have the executive branch doing it. He says Biden is boosting U.S. troops in Europe because of Russia’s war in Ukraine. So instead of Congress declaring a war and our local leaders sending out the local militia to fight these foreign battles, the president is rendering the military independent and superior to the civil power. This has happened over and over again. You have other presidents—they called up the National Guard and directed them to the Middle East under the direction of the presidency and the United Nations, and not under the civil power.
Our military has been sent up to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Bosnia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Nicaragua—tons and tons of different places. Our military has been sent out under the direction of what would be the equivalent of the king or president, instead of the civil power.
So: “He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.” So now our government has signed us up to over—almost—90 different foreign institutions, subjecting us to their laws—making it… well, their pretend legislation—making us obey, making us assent to the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the G20, the NAFTA, the new version, USMCA, NATO, and dozens upon dozens of other international bodies that are telling us what to do and making rules for individual businesses and families to obey.
So the family would obey it—but not directly. They’re not realizing that they’re getting a directive from the United Nations or the World Bank. But their loaning system, the regulations on why their house was built, for example—these are all done under international regulations. And so we are being forced to assent to these organizations’ pretend legislation.
So now, another thing that was a claim against the crown was transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. So we have U.S. citizens who are being held prisoner in Guantanamo Bay and other foreign prisons without due process. And there are other prisons that we have and we’ll be talking about.
So Christie asked, when was the last time our country went to war legally? That was during World War II—it was the last time war was declared by Congress. So it’s been a while.
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us.” Just the most recent example of this—this has happened throughout the years though—is: I did a video, I did a report exposing how I could prove that the government was behind the riots that we had in 2020. They are exciting—the government is stirring up and directing and organizing insurrections among those terrorist attacks amongst us.
So how do we come to a dissolving again? Amongst those which join together to form a government in a country, it is absolutely requisite that there be a perfect consent and agreement concerning the use of the means of government. If they do not agree, they will clash. Right? This is what we’re seeing today. This is a clear parallel that we see going on, that we can see. You don’t have to be a prophet. You don’t have to be able to see into the future. You just have these things that people have noticed. Right? Isaac Newton didn’t invent prophecy—gravity—he discovered it. He was able to explain it.
And so the same thing here. What we’re saying is that, well, you know, it’s come to a point in the United States that it’s not even like, “Hey, this is going to happen.” This is happening right now. Everything that we’re seeing is happening. It’s leading to these clashes that were talked about.
And so John Adams—it was something that they understood. And so what did he say when he saw these things happening? We had all of those things that the Founding Fathers listed as their grievances against the crown, listed in the Declaration of Independence. I encourage everyone to go back and read that if they haven’t.
He gave a talk—and this was what’s interesting—this was before the Declaration of Independence. Okay, a lot of times people think that the war started after the Declaration of Independence. But the Founding Fathers recognized that even though a war hadn’t been declared, that the crown had declared war on them through his actions.
And I mentioned this before, just the last couple of weeks—we need to start to realize that the war on us has already begun. We just have to recognize it. It’s already started.
“If we postpone independence, do we mean to carry on or to give up the war? Do we mean to submit to the measures of Parliament, Boston Port Bill and all?” Are we going to postpone? Are we going to give this up? Are we going to say, “Oh, we’re going to get hopium and say that this is going to get better later on?” “Do we mean to submit and consent that we ourselves shall be ground to powder and our country and its rights trodden down in the dust?”
“The war, then, must go on.” Because they’re not going to do that. “We must fight it through. And if the war must go on, why put off longer the Declaration of Independence?” That measure will strengthen us.
So he was selling the idea of having a Declaration of Independence. And he says, this isn’t going to cause more problems for us. These problems are already here. And that’s what we see a lot of times today is, “Hey, you calling out the conspirators, you saying what they’re doing is bad, is going to cause more problems.” No, the problems are already here. We need to stop the gaslighting of saying, “Hey, we’re just going to try to make nice with these people.” They’ve already declared war on us. Calling it for what it is—it’s only going to strengthen us.
“It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment: Independence now and independence forever.”
And it was this talk—amongst others—that was able to help build support for what needed to happen. There was no reconciliation. There was nothing that could be done to bring the colonies back under British rule. The people had recognized what was going on, and the king was just getting more and more tyrannical. And the only thing to do was to be trodden down or to leave.
