Summary:
This article by Miles Mathis, first published on July 11, 2020, offers advice on how to engage with individuals who unquestioningly accept authority, particularly in contrast to those who question it. For aggressive individuals, the author recommends carrying pepper spray and stating that engagement is not required, nor is justification, and that assault is illegal. For less aggressive individuals, the author suggests presenting persuasive facts to try and educate them. The core argument is that making laws via executive orders is illegal and unconstitutional, even during a declared emergency, as legislatures are designated to pass laws. Presidents and Governors are meant to execute laws, not create them. This practice of ruling by executive fiat is seen as a move towards monarchy, away from the US’s foundational principles enshrined in the Constitution, which was created to prevent rule by Kings. The author notes that many people, including college-educated individuals, seem to have forgotten this fundamental understanding of government. The article highlights that several judges have indeed ruled against executive orders, with the Supreme Court of Wisconsin and a Circuit Court in Illinois striking them down as unconstitutional. Although a Supreme Court in Oregon initially reversed a similar decision, the author points to these rulings as evidence that courts are challenging executive overreach. The media is accused of burying these stories because it is owned by wealthy families who benefit from ruling by executive orders. The author also mentions that lawsuits filed by entities like churches, gun shops, and other businesses and individuals have often resulted in rulings favoring plaintiffs, indicating that governors are exceeding their authority by closing businesses, imposing lockdowns, and infringing on constitutional rights to assembly and trade. Furthermore, sheriff’s departments and police departments across the country are refusing to enforce unconstitutional gubernatorial orders, while State Police, being more closely linked to the FBI and CIA, are more likely to comply. The article also claims that many doctors and nurses are publicly stating that facemasks are unnecessary or harmful, and that Covid numbers are being manipulated. Finally, the author suggests that if someone claims ignorance of these facts, it’s due to their failure to perform basic internet searches and critical thinking, implying they have an implanted “bug” rather than a genuine opinion.
