When we try to understand the proper role that government plays within thisRepublic then we should also gain knowledge about how government deviates from theConstitutional line of authority in its usurpations, and the effects deviationshave upon this Nation. When a government seeks to usurp power, it normally does sothrough a myriad of bureaucratic appointments, contrary to Constitutional Order.Within the bureaucratic labyrinth it can twist the law in a number of ways whichwill always follow a certain path of base confusion and within that confusion itrelies upon one thing to achieve its goals of sovereignty over the People and thatis the complacency of the People.Bureaucracy's intent is to always create a system that can be used to confound thePeople, one in which there is a "law" for every crime and that law is usuallyarbitrary, vague and complicated. The "law" becomes relative, hard and cold,without equality or justice, it becomes divisive to society and breaks People intoclassifications and groups for its administration.Such a government will always extort concessions from the People in increments sosmall that few realize they have lost a portion of their Liberty and Freedom, andit does so without the slightest regard to justice or the Common Rights of man.There comes a time, in such a system, when the People will always be compelled tosurrender some, and generally a large portion of their Freedom in order to live,day to day, within such a society.A government which declares its sovereignty over the People, one which, like ourpresent government, declares that the People's Rights are only grants from thegovernment will always resort to coercion in order to maintain its supremacy andkeep the People "in their place".As long as we continue to imagine ourselves subservient to the will of thegovernment, to live and function at the pleasure of the government, we will neversee the purpose Liberty and Freedom, nor shall we ever reap the benefits of thatLiberty and Freedom! We must realize that the Liberty we are entitled to enjoy isnot derived from this government, nor does this government create it. Governmentcannot create it, manage it, or export it, the only thing government can do isprotect it, nurture it or destroy it through its policies. Lest we forget, theBanner of Liberty does not rest within the bowels of government, but in the heartsand minds of the People. Ideas have, as always, been the most effective weapon forany revolution; the one we now face is no different.If men of disloyal inclinations, covetous and filled with avarice are allowed togovern with impunity, as they are now, they will naturally violate the Rights oftheir fellow Citizens, and under every pretense of good government they willincrease their holdings of power to the point that it will cease to regard theCitizen as anything more than a resource for their use.Men are often deluded into an opinion, that they must endure and thereforemaintain the present order as it now stands, that either no change is possible orthat to resist the present order will bring only suffering. Men have forgotten thepower that the Blessings of Liberty bring, not only to an individual, but also toa Nation.We have been taught the words of Liberty and Freedom, but have never enjoyed thefull meaning of the words, nor have we seen the prosperity that Liberty andFreedom bring to a People. We have only witnessed the afterglow of the Liberty andFreedom this Nation once enjoyed, a fading glory from days long past. For decades,the Liberty and Freedom of this Nation have been abridged, mangled in the workingsof the growing machinery of government.
