In order to Save America,
We Must Abolish the United States
|
What is "America?"
America's Founding Fathers saw America as place where everyone could dwell safely under his own "Vine
& Fig Tree."
Their home would be owned free and clear. It would not be taken from you for failure to pay taxes, nor confiscated by the government and given to a
developer who would build a mall and pay more in taxes than you do ("eminent domain").
When people in 2018 think of "the American Dream," they think of "owning" their own home. By "owning" they mean paying a
quarter of a million dollars in interest to the bankers on a "low-interest" "fixed-rate" 30-year mortgage.
This is actually a nightmare, not a dream. Deep down, Americans know something is really not right, but Americans are victims of educational malpractice, and
cannot diagnose the real problem, and take action on effective solutions. We are traumatized by tyranny.
Every single person who signed the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution would agree that the U.S Constitution should be repealed. It has permitted
the growth of the Bush-Obama regime, a dictatorship far worse than the "tyranny" complained of in the
Declaration of Independence. It is a cover for evil.
The Declaration of Independence -- the Founding Charter of America -- says this:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when
a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under , it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their future security. |

America's Founding Fathers used words like "tyranny" and "idolatry"
to describe the British government over the American Colonies.
By every conceivable measure, by every political standard, the current regime in Washington (which we have elsewhere called "the
Bush-Clinton regime") is a more anti-Christian tyranny than the government that was overthrown in the War
for Independence, 1775-1783. If America's Founding Fathers were justified in overthrowing a mild, Christian, comparatively libertarian government such
as existed in the colonies, then Americans today are remiss in their duty to overthrow the more tyrannical government we have today.
The "United States" is the Enemy of God and Mankind
Don't confuse "America" with "The United States"
Although we applaud America's Founding Fathers for acknowledging tyranny to be immoral and seeking to eradicate it, this
website opposes all violence and revolution. We believe the American Revolution
(1776) was unChristian.
It does no good for "Smith" to assassinate President Trump or President Clinton if a million people named "Jones"
immediately vote another tyrant back into office. Our goal is to persuade Americans to become true Americans.

"America" is an ideal: "Liberty Under God"
"The United States" is a tyrannical regime in Washington, D.C.
"America" (the ideal of "Liberty Under God") exists in the hearts of the American People, or it doesn't exist at all.
"America" will still exist -- if it exists at all -- long after we abolish the tyrannical regime in Washington D.C.
America's Founding Fathers abolished their government. We should follow their example.

Libertarians are sometimes criticized for wanting to abolish entire agencies of government, like the Department of Education,
the Department of Energy, Agriculture, Interior,
Transportation, and Veterans Affairs.
Does it seem like an outrageous thing to say: "Abolish all federal programs and agencies?" This is what you
would say if you were consistent with the principles of
People who are shocked by this proposal miss two important facts.
- The government created by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution no longer exists. Constitutional scholars admit a new form of government has been
substituted in its place. Rather than a "Constitutional Republic," we have an "Administrative State."
- The government of the United States is being abolished, and a new government which includes Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. is being put in its place: the "North
American Union."
But finally, if
we were consistent with the principles upon which the American Revolution was fought, we too would be working to abolish the entire federal government of the United
States, just as Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Hancock worked to abolish wholly the British government over the colonies.
If there were an "easy" button that would instantly abolish the federal government, without a shot being fired, I would push that button. The use of violence
against tax collectors -- muskets, cannons, or new weapons -- can never be justified. Our only weapon is persuasion. We must persuade
politicians to cease their acts of violence and resign. Use of muskets and cannons is unChristian.
The question is not whether some governments should be abolished; the question is how.
From a Christian perspective, governments are not to be overthrown by violence. In its attempt to
overthrow the government of Saddam Hussein, the U.S. Federal Government killed nearly two million innocent men, women, and children, many of whom did not like
Saddam Hussein any more than we did. In 1822, Thomas Jefferson wrote,
The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend all to the happiness of man:
1. That there is one only God, and He all perfect.
2. That there is a future state of rewards and punishments.
3. That to love God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself, is the sum of religion.…
Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christian. |
Killing two million people -- and more children than the total number killed by the Atomic Bomb in Hiroshima -- will probably not be one of the acts that will be
rewarded in a future state.
We have suggested that missionaries would have done a better job of bringing about the downfall of Saddam Hussein.
The government of the United States should be overthrown, but only non-violently, using persuasion, encouraging
government officials to repent of their tyranny and abolish their office.
Submission to Tyranny: A Christian-Libertarian Framework
The Biblical prohibition against overthrowing tyrants by force and violence is very clear and bold. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus was in conflict with
the Herodians (Jews who collaborated with the Roman military occupation of Israel) and the Zealots (Jews who wanted to resist the occupation using violence if
necessary). Jesus did not take the side of the popular uprising, though it was clear He viewed the occupying Empire as ethically illegitimate.
Christ's apostles spoke of the reigning empire as "the powers that be," using a word that everywhere refers to demonic
forces. But the teaching of the New Testament is that we are to overcome evil with good. That means overcoming statist
tyranny with good, not with violence.
Let's compare New Testament principles with the American Revolution. Pardon us for taking some liberties with the text, but we think the analogy is fair:
Romans 12-13 {1} I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
{2} And be not conformed to the world of the Scottish Enlightenment: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
{3} For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
{10} Be kindly affectioned one to the British with brotherly love; in honour
preferring one another;
{11} Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
{12} Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
{13} Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitable quartering of troops.
{14} Bless the "Red Coats" which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
{16} Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise
in your own conceits.
{17} Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
{18} If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with the British.
{19} Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance
is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
{20} Therefore if an enemy soldier hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
{21} Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
{13:1} Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are set in place by God.
{2} Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, throwing tea into the harbor, or firing
muskets upon them from behind trees, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
{3} For archist red
coats are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of
the same:
{4} For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth
not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath
upon him that doeth evil.
{5} Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
{6} For for this cause pay ye taxes without representation: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
{7} Render therefore to all their dues: taxes to whom taxes are due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear;
honour to whom honour.
{8} Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
{9} For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
{10} Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1 Peter 2:11-24 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
{12} Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they
may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
{13} Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to king George
III, as supreme;
{14} Or unto parliament, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of
evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
{15} For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
{16} As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
{17} Honour all the British. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
{18} Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
{19} For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
{20} For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do
well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
{21} For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should
follow His steps:
{22} Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:
{23} Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him
that judgeth righteously:
{24} Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed.
Matthew 5:38-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
{39} But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him
the other also.
{40} And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
{41} And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
{42} Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
{43} Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
{44} But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
{45} That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and
on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
{46} For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
{47} And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
{48} Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 17:7-10 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, "Come at once and sit
down to eat"?
{8} But will he not rather say to him, "Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I
have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink"?
{9} Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
{10} So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable
servants. We have done what was our duty to do."
2 Peter 2:10-12/Jude 8-10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and
despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
{9} Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring
against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
{12} But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they
understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the
ruin those two can bring?
Exodus 23:2 Thou shalt not follow a crowd to do evil.
Now, with these passages of Scripture ringing in our ears, let's ask some probing questions about the Declaration
of Independence. We'll find that the American Revolution was unChristian. No violent revolution against the State is ever justifiable.
We must speak the truth and depend upon the Holy Spirit to bring repentance to politicians, so that they peacefully resign and abolish the machinery of violence
and injustice.
Let's face it: The Constitution has ALREADY been abolished.
In no rational sense can we be said to be governed by the Constitution as intended by its Framers. The
Constitution is dead meat. It is only emotion and sentimentalism that leads anyone to conclude that the Constitution has not already been abolished.
If you think the Constitution is functioning in any meaningful sense, PLEASE,
read that link above. Here it is again: The Constitution is Dead Meat.
Since the Constitution has de facto been abolished, we must now work to abolish it de
jure.
The Constitution has been abolished, but people don't know about it; we must make sure everyone realizes it.
Since the Constitution has been abolished, those who have abolished it have replaced it with something else. None of the Framers of the Constitution would
recognize our current government as being anything close to what they intended to create. It doesn't matter what you call our present system -- soviet
socialism, "The Administrative State," "mixed economy," etc. -- it is not the system created by
the Framers of the U.S. Constitution. As long as people believe the Constitution has not been abolished, they will continue to believe that what exists is
constitutional. And as long as people believe the Constitution is in force, those who have abolished it and are establishing their own form of government will
continue to move us along the path that takes US where THEY want to go.
But can't we RESTORE the Constitution? Can't we use the Constitution to return to the kind of limited government envisioned by its Framers?
No. See Peter B. McCutchen, Mistakes, Precedent, and the Rise of the Administrative State: Toward a Constitutional Theory of the Second Best, 80 Cornell
L. Rev. 1 (1994).
But suppose we could. If we could restore America to the way things were in 1787, what would keep America from returning to the state we're in today? Obviously the
Constitution did not prevent the abolition of the Constitution in the name of the Constitution.
What was it that allowed the Constitution to be abolished?
What was it that allowed America to be abolished?
What was it that could destroy the idea of every man living peacefully under his "Vine & Fig Tree?"
The answer is: socialism.
The answer is: belief in the idea that it's OK to take from others by force.
The answer is: the widespread belief in the moral legitimacy of an institution called "the State." The idea of "the State" -- that an elite
group can wield the power of violence against their fellow man -- is more powerful than any Constitution, as history and the
nature of fallen man proves. We must abolish this whole idea if we want to preserve America.
This is the purpose of The
Christmas
Conspiracy!
We join America's Founding Fathers in pursuing the
vision of the Prophet Micah, working for a day when all Americans will live safely and peacefully under their Vine & Fig Tree.
But to accomplish this goal we believe we must reject two of the Founders' strategies:
- We reject armed revolution;
- We reject every constitution that creates a violent confiscatory socialist institution such as "the State."
James Madison initially opposed The Bill of Rights because he believed the Constitution was strong enough
to protect those rights. It was a document of "delegated powers," he said, and it delegated no powers to "the general government" in those areas
addressed by the Bill of Rights. But neither the idea of limited authority nor the Bill of Rights prevented the federal government from vastly exceeding the limits
established by the Founding Fathers.
If -- and it's a big "if" -- we could return government to the size it had in 1789, there is nothing in the Constitution or Bill of Rights to prevent
history from repeating itself. This is because every Constitution is self-contradictory. Every Constitution legitimizes the right of some people to live at the
expense of others. Every Constitution gives its moral approval to theft and murder.
The reason why returning government to the size and function intended by the Framers is such a big IF is that so many people are now accustomed to living at the
expense of others. There are so many "entitlements" and government programs that threaten one group of citizens with violence in order to confiscate their
wealth and give it to others, and so many people have become dependent on these programs, and consider them a "constitutional right," that it is utterly
futile and useless to tell them that these programs are "unconstitutional" -- contrary to the "original intent" of the Founding Fathers. The
Founding Fathers are all dead. Nobody cares about them. Nobody cares about their Constitution.
But God is not dead.
What we need to do is convince Americans that theft is against the Law of God.
All theft. All the time.
And that means an end to all constitutions.
This is the purpose of The
Christmas
Conspiracy!
We are trying to convince Americans that King Jesus prohibits ALL theft, all the time.
We are trying to convince America that "the government shall be upon HIS shoulders" (Isaiah
9:6).
This is the most radical agenda in the world.
