Subject: New victories against otherwise endless government corruption; the
reason we have a Second Amendment and what it really means; and a few words

LAST WEEK SENATOR RAND PAUL proposed a perfectly sensible-- indeed,
obviously appropriate-- amendment to a $40 billion giveaway to Ukraine,
which would have required oversight and accountability regarding the
disposition of what is, after all, OUR money. Among other things, such
oversight might expose how much of the giveaway is sent back in "campaign
contributions" and other forms to the pockets of those voting for the
handout <https://losthorizons.com/A/TFPML.htm>.
Paul's amendment was defeated, of course-- providing emphasis to the
importance of individual Americans being made aware of the liberating,
state-restraining truth about the income tax by which so much government
corruption and other mischief-- at both the federal and state levels-- are
made possible. See this <https://losthorizons.com/OnShrinkingLeviathan.pdf>
for a quick and easily-shareable summary of how that all works, and how
widespread knowledge of the legal realities of the income tax would fix
these dire problems.
After sending that linked piece, 'On Shrinking Leviathan
<https://losthorizons.com/OnShrinkingLeviathan.pdf>', as far and wide as
possible, join me in celebrating some recent additions to the hundreds of
thousands of victories <https://losthorizons.com/BulletinBoard.htm> won by
real American heroes acting to shut down the lunacy and corruption since
2003. These good folks, who have simply, but courageously, stood up and
withdrawn their support for it all after learning of their right to do so,
and how to do so, are liberty's true superstars:

FRANKLY, THE PARENTS BEING PREVENTED from rushing to the aid of their
children in Robb Elementary School the week before last, as we all saw
afterwards in horrifying cell-phone videos, should have shot or clubbed
their way through the cops who stood in their path. Every cop who
participated in that blockade should be tried as an accessory to murder,
having effectively helped the killer proceed with his crimes unimpeded.
Those are harsh words. But children are dead who needn't be, and as a
consequence of a grossly-corrupt distortion of the proper purpose and
legitimate authority of government.
Unsurprisingly, the assisted murders of those children and school staff in
Uvalde, Texas, are now being exploited by despicable enemies of the rule of
law in an effort to further leverage the widespread misunderstanding of the
proper purpose and legitimate authority of government that contributed to
last week's tragedy. The object is to use the Uvalde shootings as a
justification for a renewed assault on the Second Amendment.
If successful, this pernicious effort will eventually accomplish a tragedy
of far greater scope, as the ghosts of a few 100 million disarmed victims
of government murder during the 20th century
<https://reason.com/2014/05/15/be-antigovernment-and-proud/> will attest.
Let me offer a few points that might help rein in this madness...
I'LL START WITH THE FACT that Constitutions-- federal or state-- are not
entrusted for their implementation, interpretation or enforcement to
officials elected or appointed to the offices they authorize. Indeed, it is
quite the opposite.
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution (and corresponding provisions
in state Constitutions), for instance, says that the right of the people to
keep and bears arms shall not be infringed. There is no allowance within
the provision for legislative or judicial (much less executive)
determination of what this means and how, and to what degree, the
proscription of infringement is to be honored.
There CAN'T BE any such allowance, nor can one be assumed or implied. The
amendment's proscription, after all, is AGAINST government officials.
Constitutions are the law LAID UPON government officials. They are not
merely directives as to what government officials should do or should
refrain from doing.
*"In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but
bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution."*
-Thomas Jefferson
Those officials, singly or *en masse*, have no more authority or latitude
to determine the scope of their prescriptions or proscriptions than a guy
wanting to break into houses has to determine the scope of the burglary
laws established by his community.
After all, if government officials, singly or en masse, could determine the
meaning of "infringe" or "keep" or "bear" or "arms" or "the people", then
the right secured by the Second Amendment would be meaningless.
I guarantee that if I am given the latitude to define any one of those
terms, I can strip Americans of that right. And after implementing the
consequence of that change, I could then strip Americans of all other
rights, unconcerned about resistance.

* Monkeypoxmania*
by CJ Hopkins
Lock yourselves down inside your homes! Break out the masks and
prophylactic face-shields! Switch off what’s left of your critical
faculties and prepare yourselves to “follow the Science!”
Yes, that’s right, just as the survivors of The Simulated Apocalyptic
Plague of 2020-2021 were crawling up out of their Covid bunkers and
starting to “build the world back better,” another biblical pestilence has
apparently been unleashed on humanity!
This time it’s the dreaded monkeypox, a viral zoonotic disease endemic to
central and western Africa that circulates among giant pouched rats,
squirrels, dormice, and other rodents and has been infecting humans for
centuries, or millennia. Monkeypox causes fever, headaches, muscle aches,
and sometimes fluid-filled blisters, tends to resolve in two to four weeks,
and thus poses absolutely zero threat to human civilization generally.
The corporate media do not want to alarm us, but it is their duty as
professional journalists to report that THE MONKEYPOX IS SPREADING LIKE
WILDFIRE! OVER 100 CASES OF MONKEYPOX have been confirmed in countries
throughout the world! MONKEYPOX TASKFORCES are being convened! Close-up
photos of NASTY-LOOKING MONKEYPOX LESIONS are being disseminated! The
President of the United States says “EVERYBODY SHOULD BE CONCERNED!”
The WHO is calling it “a multi-country monkeypox outbreak!”
<https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON385>
Belgium has introduced a mandatory quarantine
<https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/belgium-introduces-mandatory-quarantine-for-monkeypox-cases/>.
The CDC has gone to “Alert Level 2!”
<https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/monkeypox> “Enhanced
precautions” are recommended! In New York City, the nexus of probably the
most paranoid, mask-wearing, quadruple-“vaccinated” New Normal fanatics on
the face of the planet, the Department of Health is instructing everyone to
wear the masks they are already wearing to protect them from both Covid and
monkeypox
<https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10839325/NYC-warns-residents-wear-mask-local-tests-positive-virus-related-monkeypox.html>,
and smallpox, and largepox, and airborne cancer, and God knows what other
horrors might be out there!
Here in the capital of New Normal Germany, Karl Lauterbach, who, despite
wasting hundreds of millions of Euros on superfluous “vaccines,” attempting
to compulsorily “vaccinate” every man, woman, and child in the country, and
otherwise behaving like a fascist lunatic, remains the official Minister of
Health, is excitedly hopping up and down and hooting like a Siamang gibbon
about “recommendations for isolation and quarantine,” and other “monkeypox
containment measures.”
<https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/affenpocken-117.html>
As Yogi Berra famously put it, “it’s like déjà vu all over again.”
Except that it isn’t … or it probably isn’t. Before I could even finish
this column, the United GloboCap Ministries of Truth started dialing down
the monkeypox panic. It appears they’re going with “it’s a gay pandemic,”
or an “LGBTQ pandemic,” or an “LGBTQIA+ pandemic,” or whatever the official
acronym is by the time I click the “publish” button, and making other
noises to the effect that it might not be absolutely necessary this time to
order a full-scale global lockdown, release the drones and robotic dogs,
inject everybody with experimental drugs, and start viciously persecuting
“monkeypox deniers.”
You didn’t really believe they were launching a shot-by-shot remake of
Covid, did you? The showrunners at GloboCap may be preternaturally evil,
but they aren’t stupid. Only the most hopelessly brainwashed New Normals
would go along with another “apocalyptic pandemic” before the current one
has even been officially cancelled. No, unfortunately, odds are, we’re just
getting a preview of what “life” is going to be like in the New Normal Reich
<https://consentfactory.org/2022/05/09/the-rise-of-the-new-normal-reich/>,
where the masses will be perpetually menaced by an inexhaustible assortment
of exotic pathogens and interchangeable pseudo-pathological threats.

*"I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves...too
wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the
selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of
mock patriotism: 'Our country, right or wrong!' They will not fail to
recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare
of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling
to the watchword of true patriotism: 'Our country--when right to be kept
right; when wrong to be put right.'"*
