How to become the Healthiest State in the Union: REALLY!!!

How to become the Healthiest State in the Union: REALLY!!!



Yes, you can reach the Healthiest State personally and live in the Healthiest State of the Union.
This does not involve giving-in to this seriously stupid idea of building a bigger and more 'deadly' health care system as exists today and Obama Care envisions in your future.
And deadly it is.
I did not use that word incorrectly or inappropriately, heath care today is not about healing, but disease management at best and ever more slow and costly death to a growing number of Americans, sooner than under any other model out there.
I will present for you some ideas and hopefully provocative information that will make you fight tooth and nail for living healthier with less government interference into how and what you do to be healthy. I will offer strategies for individuals and within your State to defeat these 'killing institutions' and abominable regulations from taking your life or your loved ones, avoiding the killing fields of existing halls and beds, offices of the false prophets of health called MD's.
MD's have a role but it has nothing to do with wellness or your health, but emergencies, trauma and a few other non health areas, but not living a healthy and energized life; nope, they have little to provide in that arena. The very idea of drugging you for any and everything really should put more MD's behind bars than people into walking drug addicted zombies. Allowing doctors and schools to drug our children should be reason enough to tar and feather such idiots turn them loose in the wild.
And your state can help you by nullifying Obama Care and all such health related programs, blocking CODEX alimentarius and other anti health and, in general allowing you to live your life in freedom, not in servitude.
Read on, please.
Listen and listen well. Madness has befallen us, something is amiss, strongly wrong, run amok …
The healthcare system as exists in America today maims and kills more people than any single institution today, bacteria, virus or disease, damaging more bodies of innocent children, adults and elder folk than even war. It is not disease that is killing up, it is not illness killing our vitality for life, but the healthcare system itself, Crony Healthcarism!!
You don't believe me? Physician-caused and hospital caused deaths NOW total 785,000 a year! (See chart below). Crony healthcarism via iatrogenesis. is by far the greatest cause of death, bar none. Iatrogenesis is defined as death or injury resulting from the activity of a health care provider or institution; said of any adverse condition in a patient resulting from treatment by a physician, nurse, or allied health professional.

===Notes for chart: 1Full Life Extension report from Death by Doctor here;  (I threw in some death by firearms for comparison. Article for another time...)



Something is wrong here, drastically wrong.  Death by doctor, Death by an institution is now the leading cause of death? 
In most of Africa, hospitals are called "A place to die."  they realized early that going into one, you often did not come out!  Truth is with death at the hand of the existing health establishment, including hospitals and MD's in general, from unnecessary procedures, to prescribed drug issues, catching a deadly virus while in the hospital, unnecessary surgeries, what more can go wrong?
Yes, it is more dangerous to you to go to see a doctor than drive a car, being killed by a terrorist, being gunned down in the streets in the worst part of town, struck by lightening, attacked by a mad dog. Yep, going to a hospital or to see a doctor leads to death in greater numbers for more people than any known activity, including drug addiction, getting caught in a drug-gang bust, shot in a bank robbery!
AND-D-D-D, because we depend on 'their' judgments and knowledge to “save us” and protect our health, the #2-10 major diseases killings us are at least TWICE what they would be IF we practiced wellness and DID NOT LISTEN TO OUR DOCTORS AND GO TO HOSPITALS for the vast majority of the reasons we do.
Ladies and gentlemen, please read on for I hope to make it totally clear that you can take steps NOW to live better and with a higher quality of life if you do everything in your power to stop the extension of Obama Care into our lives.
Imagine, the leading cause of death, the Crony Healthcarism model and they want to give you move of it, tax you more for it and kill you faster and with greater impunity using it. ARE WE CRAZY?!?!?!?!?! Death by doctor, by Crony Healthcarism is growing faster than any other category of death for humans.
It should be renamed Health Roach Hotels¹ – you go in and never get out. Analogous to African idea 'hospitals are a place to die.”
Read on if you believe in personal sovereignty, State sovereignty and the importance of stopping this lunacy of actual allowing Crony Healthcarism to happen to you or your State, actually be taxed for it. If it is true that they want to make you pay $5,000 per person that does not participate each year, that the same amount of money spent on buying organic food and nutritional supplementation would support a family of four. Yep, if you spent that money on real food and supplementation for missing essential nutrients no longer available in your foods, you would NOT be going to doctors for colds, flu, acid reflux, indigestion, and too many ailments to list here, and instead would be healthy, thinner and more energized that could ever by by taking the drugs prescribed by doctors!
There is good news with Obama Care: Knowing the reality behind the scam will lead to its demise: fewer services for fewer individuals, death panels, outlandish increases in cost per tax paying individuals, government regulation and lowered quality across the board; statism, rob Peter to give to Paul run amok.
Those few who can see past the fog of government lies and deceptions, will begin to take action to nullify these mad folk behind this catastrophic Iatrogenic idea.
People are being brought out of the darkness and into the light of health and wellness consciousness. Whether good or bad times ahead, moving toward State, country and personal nullification of statist health care will be for your betterment, assuming we can get ahead of this beast in time.
The need is for nullification of Obama Care, more so, the State creating Health Free Zones and allowing alternative health and wellness services and ideas to flourish in the State. Equally important, to allow the ideas of sound diet options and medical nutrition principles and concepts and consumption to be left as an individual action. I will discuss these in more detail below, but give a little background and hopefully spark some discussion given the fact that physician-caused death is now number one killer in America today! This alone should make many step back and take your health and that of their family into their own hands.
Why? It is cheaper than medical care, especially as defined and TAXED under Obama Care. It will lead to living a higher quality of life, living longer and, as discussed below health and wealth are two faces of success whether a carpenter, waiter or entrepreneur: clarity of mind, body and soul will take you towards wealth and a good life faster than any serfdom or enslavement model from DC gangsters.
If the DC gangsters get their way, if the ruling elites and special interests of the AMA, Big Pharma get their way, we could be in deep kimshee. Especially if the economy goes into serious depression or crash mode, and we are dependent on government and THEN health care falters as overloaded and without money and resources. Those who learned to feed themselves, improve their own health via sound foods, organic home or community grown foods and nutritional supplementation will survive with greater likelihood, have off spring that make it through the Dark Winter of Trying times.
I am reminded of how Adam Fergusson bleakly put it in his moving account of Weimar Inflation in 'When Money Dies':
"In hyperinflation, a kilo of potatoes was worth, to some, more than the family silver; a side of pork more than the grand piano. A prostitute in the family was better than an infant corpse; theft was preferable to starvation; warmth was finer than honour, clothing more essential than democracy, food more needed than freedom."
But the arrogance of the puppet masters and the Healthcare cronies including AMA, Big Pharma and FDA behind them, their thinking that Americas are too dumbed down and without these sycophants could not live their own lives. The sheer boldness of weaving together this plan, 'making' you live under THEIR singular model for healthcare, MAKING you PAY a fee or TAX if you do not do as you are told, making you get vaccines, making you...
They are killing you slowly, killing you over time and often before you can leave the hospital from virus picked up while there! Hell, one in five who enter get MERSA and 20% die from it! That is not even included in the chart below...
More people, like TAC and its followers, are aware that alternatives exist and they would like the freedom of choice to decide their own health, their own lives and not be forced into a single model or plan, especially one decided by a clear cabal of insiders seeking political gain, greed and power, treated as special interests groups, without competition.
People are aware that health is a personal decision, not a public interest. It is this confusion that leads to people being treated as cattle or sheep, not as a farmer would treat them, but as a slaughter house getting rid of diseased animals.
==Health Roach Hotels² – you go in and never get out. Analogous to African idea 'hospitals are a place to die.”
They treat humans as animals and linking it all together, your birth, shots, vaccines and then TAXING you and if you do not obey, you can't go to school, work or play, you can not even try to live outside their matrix of control, as they force you to eat GMO foods that literally are altering your genes.
WHAT IS GOING ON? Something sinister, but the good news is people are waking up and realizing that things are not right now.
It is not really Obama, but the insidious intrusion of government and special interests in the health care industry, the pharmaceutical companies, the AMA and FDA control freaks who are defining the model.
dragged literally into the reality that government mandated health care is about being 'allowed' to live only under the guidelines of disease management, dying slowing, living shorter lives, killed slowly and all at the hand of government whims, physician assisted living from cradle to grave and death by appointment!



Doctor/Hospital caused (Iatrogenic) death is now the leading cause of death in America.  And Obama Care wants to make it officially the 'only way to die.'  
Cradle to grave, the monopoly by government and collusion with AMA, FDA and all in between will cut you, burn you and kill you in increasing numbers, according to rules and regulations and medical practices as primitive today as bloodletting 100 years ago. Most doctors do not belong to AMA, but AMA controls as a member within the inner circle, what health care is defined as, including licensing, etc. The Freeman magazine represents free-market philosophy and has many good articles, including on this topic. This article by Dr. Pruitt reviews Flexner Report and the history of the takeover by health care by AMA and collusion with government leading to classic monopoly issues: less quality for less consumers and at a higher cost!  It is inherent to the model, but serves the economic needs of the providers: more money for their work, less competition and creates 'company owned town' syndrome. It is but another Elitist domination of the people in a sector, but following the work book of the Ancient Ruling Regime, the Rule of Oligarchy:  dominate, command and control. 
Economically speaking, the health care delivery model used in America is based on mercantilism, a group of special interests monopolizing products and services to the benefit of themselves.  They assume the client or patient is either too stupid or needs 'their' oversight on how to live, die and be treated in between. 
Ever since that infamous Flexnor Report, funded by Rockefeller was as insidiously applied by a cabal of insiders to take control of health in America is only exceeded by the dark and dirty central banking cartel taking over America's money and banking.  And the two operate like two secret laws of a dark and sinister plot to enslave, dominate and subjugate a peoples, making them like cattle or sheep on a farm.  Sadly, farm animals are treated better than humans, since they suffer disease and illness rates at magnitudes lower rates per 100,000 than do humans. Why?  Well, farmers and live stock breeders know the value of their animals, whereas humans are treated like live stock, but less humanely, oh yea...



Government mandated health care, hospitals and doctors (MD's) are killing us with treatments as primitive today, as bloodletting, was only 100 years ago.  Healthcare has become a beast of monopolize collusion between taking money from everyone, passing it through insurance companies and paying doctors and the hospitals outrageous amounts to treat disease and illness. And it is an abysmal failure of a money, here and abroad, causing unnecessary pain and killing us slowly, rapidly and constantly.
Obama care will lead to more suffering and deaths, at greater cost, more centralization and loss of real health and well being.  Allowing this centralization of health via the existing disease-care system is currently a failure and will be more of a failure when government gets ever more intimately involved as planned.  It will be a disaster.
Catherine Austin Fitts recently commented on this. Health and wealth are directly related and wealth without health is of little value as you can not live a vibrant life to enjoy it.
I again implore everyone to view State level interposition as noted by Tom Woods, by the State into allowing competition to any and all forms of health care will demonstrate immediately and without confusion. The value of health, wealth and prosperity are directly related and positively correlated with individual responsibility and economic freedom, things the state can protect.
Herman Hans Hope, a leading economist of the Austrian School has written on how any monopoly leads to lower quantity, quality and higher costs.   This is already happening and Obama Care is not in place yet.  It however, is leading to increased awareness of the poor model and bad economics behind it and people are increasingly awakening to its terrible implications for health and well being for all.
I am suggesting a three prong approach to State sovereignty, purse, sword and health.  this article is about health as not only important to individual well being and less costly overall for the individual and society, but how health can be a driving force to a State's economic resilience and avoid being impacted by the DC collapse of the dollar and economic chaos that will follow for years if not decades.
It has been said that America could return to 3rd world status with the effects of what DC has done to our economy.  This three prong approach could lessen if not avoid such a dark scenario in any State that moves rapidly to strengthen their acceptance of real money, real defense and real health.
I have written on the importance of State Sovereignty and the necessity of becoming self reliant via the Purse and the Sword. I suggest here that improving the health and well being of the  people within your state, via competitive models, could be the linchpin, the key to economic prosperity.
TAC advocates taking back any if not all non delegated powers originally requested of the federal government, now run amok. With the 'dumbing-down' of the people in government schools, we have become sheeple, being fleeced financially, health-wise and in too many ways that literally forced TAC to come into existence!



Dr Saul from website and peer reviewed work, notes in his newsletter,         " Our national disease-care system (for it is certainly not a HEALTH care system) depends on sickness. This is neither a new problem nor an uniquely American problem, for even the ancient Vedas say that "the carpenter desires timber; the physician, disease."
He further mentions "...More recent critics come from within the medical profession itself. One is Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin (formerly Chairman of the Department of Oral Medicine, University of Alabama Medical once said, "Health is the biggest failing business in America."
Healthy living is not the goal of the mainstream, MD and health establishment now operational in America. It is disease management, corrupted by Big Pharma profits, and sadly, social engineering by government elitist.
This is especially valid during any economic difficult times, economic chaos or other reactions to the DC gangsters and their Wall Street and European Banksters behind any pending monetary or economic crash.  Read Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente, Ron Paul or any of the Austrian School of Economics including such icons as Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard and Hermann Hans Hoppe or any of the writers on Lew Rockwell website or Mises.org; they all make it known,  the idea of what these gangsters are doing to America and the World via big government and big business colluding together against the people for self aggrandizement, power and the propensity to control, control, control.
We need to return health to the individual, support health freedom at the State level and act as the Tom Woods from history, as interpositional for the people of the State in leading their lives without interference.  I would go so far as to paraphrase Richard Maybury of Early Warning Report and his two rules for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: 1)honor your contracts and  2)do not encroach on the property or lives of others.  He states that these rules are found in all major philosophies and religions throughout history.  The current move towards nation state collectivism the singular exception and the major cause of poverty in health and living in prosperity today.
Dr. Vieira is the lead intellectual, insightful proponent of this idea, returning States Rights back to the States with REAL money and REAL defense. Adding a Health Freedom Zone by Mike Adams, the Health Warrior of naturalnews.com, to any economic prosperity approach will change the game for the better and provide an environment of business development and an expanding economy, but a healthier population of individuals, drawing talent and skills to make the State a Haven for Success.
The TAC follows legislation in 14 areas, several taken together leading to actions behind or supporting one or more of this three prong approach: Purse, Sword and health. Dr Vieira's work defines the principles and actions for the Purse and Sword, and Mile Adams writings work provides a platform for moving forward with Health Freedom Zone.
Dr. Vieira has written how the Purse would or could be commodity-based, using gold or silver per the constitution. His ideas have been implemented in Utah and is under consideration elsewhere. He has sample legislation as does TAC.
He has written about electronic models that would allow rapid implementation within 3-6 months.
I suggest one more consideration: consider using Bitcoin as another competitive currency and money that represents freedom, non government controlled currency and avoids any centralized money inflationary actions.
The Sword is all about returning the militia as an actuality to the State and making it a reality.
The Health Freedom Zone by Mike Adams is the third leg of this stool. It is a major stimulation of a sector that would be part of a natural economic wealth and prosperity plan. Under such a plan would be the encouragement of medicinal nutrition and personal responsibility and awareness of the value of such in improved health and well-being.
NOW that would be a State on the edge of freedom and liberty, allowing competition within and among the money options, allowing economic growth and innovation within the State.
But there are two sides to wealth. As previously mentioned, Catherine Austin Fitts recently commented on this. She stated that health and wealth are directly related and wealth without health is of little value as you can not live a vibrant life to enjoy it!
Promoting health and well-being is key to a people living well, being of a mind and body to be dynamic, creative and living life with fullness.  Ms. Fitts said:

"'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' (video out now) ... in essence shows how 80 percent of America can solve most of their health care problems at very low cost because the thing that is driving health care expenses up is you have a highly controlled, highly governmentalized system – tremendous profits to corporations, tremendous profits to pharmaceutical companies. And the thing that's driving the costs up is the fact that nobody's healthy."

That is why I promote Mike Adams idea of Health Freedom Zone and allowing all health providers, from chiropractors, naturopaths and every alternative health professional to practice in the State. Doing this along side of any prevailing health care via MDs and hospitals, will be living proof of what works and I would bet dollars to donuts, we would see hospitals closing, MDs downsizing, health care costs drop dramatically and the people living healthier and with levels of the quality of life heretofore only dreamed about.  This would be a real time experiment across time and with fairly immediate results since real treatment, reversal and prevention would be self-evident in weeks and months and the trends in disease and illness dropping dramatically as a personal and societal phenomenon.
Bye Bye, Big Pharma, drop in mass shootings from kids on drugs, pharmacies turning to other services as services no longer needed, hospital staff getting new jobs in real health fields, government expenditures drop off in the now fastest growing field of MD/hospital establishment arena.
Look, the current industry of healthcare is the major killer and is behind the major killers of cancer and heart related deaths.  MDs and the healthcare system treat disease, manage treatments.  I am suggesting that there are proven and practical ways, low cost and more effective  ways for health and well being to be self determined and reflect self responsible behavior.  I am suggesting that this model would improve well being, optimize and create a healthier population, living longer and healthier and working smarter versus being perceived and treated by the existing health care establishment as too dumb to known better.  The prevailing model treats diabetes II as a $300,000 flow of income, cancer as a $350,000 multi-year income and other illness and disease as income flows from a broad market to the doctors for patients who go into the system. (Number illustrative, but in ball park.)
The alternative is, for one, medical supplementation and sound diet, pennies on the dollar in cost, savings beyond belief, and re-focusing the existing health establishment on what they do best: trauma, emergency, surgery, etc.
Look at the chart below. The healthcare system in America has become the leading cause of death in America. Physician-caused death and dying from being in a hospital today kills more people, 786,000 annually, and this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
So, a State creating a Health Freedom Zone mentality, allowing competing health and wellness services, will either have more deaths or fewer death; healthier and more energized folk or less.  And if this is done, not as a government service, but as something individuals do on their own, THEN the State is moving toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Health and happiness are closely related; wealth and happiness are totally health dependent.  The State constitutions are based on insuring this, allowing this to happen, so get back to doing interpositioning and blocking the federal government health initiatives and allowing people to seek health and wellness options that make them healthier!!
More so, healthcare system and focus on disease management fails to reduce the other leading causes of death.  It is now evident that the other causes #2 through 10 could be reduced by allowing competition in health services and especially by individual sound eating habits and nutritional supplementation since foods no longer can provide the full spectrum of the necessary nutrients, especially minerals.
Oh and the health industry is the leading cause of bankruptcy!  More people not only go bankrupt, but lose their financial assets for end-of-life treatments, with 90% or more of all expenses over a life time occurring in the last 6 months of a person's life and then they die.
So with almost 800,000 death by doctors and the health system annually, then the major cause of bankruptcy, there is more.  The doctors perform over 2,500,000 unnecessary surgical operations annually! 
The four major areas where patients undergo surgery unnecessarily every year are

• Knee arthroscopy
• Hysterectomy
• Spinal surgery
• Angioplasty
  

 Sadly, if people were not so enamored with doctors, and just the simple strategy of seeking a second opinion, would have saved the system 125-200 BILLION dollars in medical cost, endless suffering and health damage.  (The 30,000-50,000 deaths may already be in the data on deaths above.)
Sadly many of the underlying issues were not resolved, only mechanically fixed.  Many of the conditions would have resolved themselves through time.  But more importantly, it is now increasingly understood that the vast majority of the root causes behind symptoms addressed by the surgery were the result of degeneration, not disease, nutritional deficiencies of many years, if not a lifetime. 
Again, look at the top four and note the comments:

• Knee arthroscopy - 650,000 surgeries performed yearly; increasingly understood as medically nutritionally addressable  in matter of months; loss weight via mineral supplementation often resolves root issue.
  
• Hysterectomy -
  
  • About 600,000 hysterectomies are performed here each year. A 2000 study revealed that around 70 per cent unnecessary
    
  • Ernst Bartsich, M.D., a gynecological surgeon at Weill-Cornell Medical Center in New York. "I'm not proud of that. It may be an acceptable procedure, but it isn't necessary in so many cases." In fact, he adds, of the 617,000 hysterectomies performed annually, "from 76 to 85 percent" may be unnecessary.
    
• Spinal surgery - 1 million patients a year; Even pain caused by a bulging or herniated disc "resolves on its own within a year in some 60 percent of cases," orthopedists claim.  Medical nutritional program to address deficiencies in bone matrix issues and giving body ability to rebuilt tissue has been found effective.
  
• Angioplasty - 1.2 million angioplasties; a completely nonsurgical method -- heart medication -- was just as beneficial as angioplasty and stints in keeping arteries open in many patients. Again, medical nutrition, even folic acid or B complex in medicinal dosages can resolve this in matter of weeks or months.
  

The solution to improving one's health is not a public policy or action that improves the health of a community, but action taken by individuals to live healthier via diet and nutritional supplementation. Once the people in America realize that living healthier, having a higher quality of life via mental clarity, physical prowess and with energy levels at their peak, but that going to the doctor, having to go to a hospital will drop dramatically and allow these providers to become what they really should do: emergency, trauma and accident centers, some surgery and some antibiotic services. More like mall and shopping center outlets, but nothing like they are today or envisioned under any State designed health care system, especially the horrific, costly and literal death panels of the Obama Care model now being pushed as a creature of total domination of the economy.
So, I am a strong advocate of encouraging not only competitive health and well being services, but medical nutrition. This means recognizing that living healthy is a personal choice and decision under a free society, not a societal cost as practiced in a collectivist society. This means becoming aware, if necessary research and study, but realize that recent studies show that literally the major illness and disease facing us today is not genetic, but a result of degeneration. More so, the degeneration of any organ or root cause behind the 800, 900 or top 1200 illness and diseases today are a result of long term nutritional deficiencies!
Yep. The body is an awesome thing, able to repair and rebuild, heal and guard against environmental and consumed pathogens behind most illness or disease, but to do that, it needs the full compliment of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Sadly, most fruits and vegetables, even meats today are adulterated, and contain less and less nutrients compared to even 10 years ago, no longer literally capable of providing the minimum nutrients necessary to live a long and healthy life.
Look, Recognize that the existing healthcare system is based on treatment of disease versus healing via treatment, reversal of underlying cause and prevention as possible under a medical nutritional model. Your MD should really be identified as a drug doctor or trauma doctor or something to do with what the medical system as exists today: use for emergencies, trauma, surgery, maybe conditions needing antibiotics, but not for flu's, colds, gall stones, fibromyalgia, etc.
As for GMO foods, vaccines and other truly questionable DC mandates via a bureaucracy of agencies, FDA, etc. have become dangerous to our health, especially not allowing individuals to live and consume, determine what and how to live health and free. The scam being perpetuated by FDA, AMA and the insurance companies, robbing all the Peter's, Paul's and Mary's to fund the Helen's, Jane's and Billies who are lacking personal responsibility and enriching the pharmaceutical, bureaucratic game-players mentioned above along the way.
Current actions, raids and other outlandish actions, arresting folk buying or using raw milk, growing gardens, forced health care under current model that kills more people annually than wars, verges on insane, if not anti human.
One can look back at history and see the impact of the Flexner Report on health practices and universities doing medical studies and see the turning point of monopolistic control under the AMA and related bureaucracies like the FDA.  Then there is the soil depletion of key minerals and our crops no longer able to provide the full range of mineral nutrients, increasingly noted since 1930's.
The medical practitioners of Dr, Saul (doctoryourself.com), Dr Glidden (fireyourmdnow.com), Dr. Mercola, Dr Wallach (deaddoctorsdontlie.com), Dr. Dennis Miller, Dr. Blylock and pharmacist Ben Fuchs represent a leading edge of NDs and MDs that promote clinically verified treatment, reversal and prevention of the vast majority of illness and disease destroying  people's health and well being today.
I reference here the work of Dr. Miller, a surgeon who has researched and found that three nutrients in key dosages (selenium, D3 and iodine) have been shown to reduce breast and other female cancers by 70-86% compared to any group not taking these nutrients. And given that over 80% of population in America is deficient in all of these nutrients, it is no wonder.  Like scurvy among British sailors, recognizing the root cause changes everything.  So, societies promoting mainstream mammograms, surgery and mastectomies shown be ashamed.  The funds collected given to women alone to buy these nutrients would cost 10 cents on the dollar collected!!!
Other known solutions for MS, CF, IBS and other digestive conditions, heart disease, strokes, and actually all of the major killers can be addressed with a sound medical nutrition program.  Dr Wallach has done excellent work here and been a linchpin in fighting FDA regarding nutrients.  Dr. Saul has a peer reviewed website that includes many studies and nutritional solutions for common illness and disease.
Since MDs do not practice health and well being. After 8 years at university take on average one course on nutrition, and since they practice reductionist medicine, seeing the body as a machine and not a dynamic self healing awesome self regulating creation of the Creator. Dr Saul says " Many doctors have NEVER had even one good course in nutrition. There are some dietitians who are actually opposed to citizens taking food supplements."  Many MDs have forgotten the first principle of Hippocratic Oath: heal the patient first, without drugs or bodily intervention. The expression, 'Fire your doctor' is too kind; they should quit and become monks!
The vast majority of illness and disease can be addressed in weeks or a couple months, with symptoms or the actual condition reversed or improved. This includes diabetes II, for prostate cancer and many more illness and diseases, many having shown increases from 100 to 10,000% in recent years.
Most can be traced to root causes of one or more minerals, vitamins or essential fatty acids and ameliorated or corrected via supplementation and moving to a sound diet of fruits and vegetables and other natural sources of the essential nutrients.
You do not need radiation and chemo therapy, slash and burn mainstream treatments for cancer, proven to have only a 3% survival rate in recent studies,  or surveyed oncologist, cancer doctors, who the majority said they would NOT undergo their own treatments if they were to have cancer, knowing that there are more effective treatments not promoted via FDA and AMA.
An aware population allowed to practice one or more medical nutritional supplementation approaches, Primal diets or other Mediterranean diet models or universal cancer food diets, and other approaches to health and well being, along side any mainstream hospital and MD drug pushing model and let the truth be self evident in a free market of health.
Call MDs what they really are: drug doctors or pharmaceutical doctors or surgical doctors, but not medical doctors.  There are NDs, MDs, ODs, Chiropractic doctors and the like; they all practice one or more medical approaches that are equal to or better than the prevailing model advocated by the health establishment.  Call medical hospitals, Trauma Centers or Emergency hospitals, but do not imply that medical is defined by the limits of services practiced there now.
Give me my sword, give me my purse, and give me my natural right to health and well-being under the simple idea of a Health Freedom Zone!
Allow health freedom practiced and your state could be the mecca of health and well being, a dynamic population of  alert,  clear minded people working within society and creating opportunities and wealth for all; that is:

• Stopping Obama Care and CODEX Alimentaris: Crony Healthcarism
• Saving Healthcare in America by healing Yourself!!
• Live longer and healthier through diet and medical nutritional supplementation
• Re-framing health from disease management to competive providers and to Living free and healthy!!
  

Now that is living free and healthy, and TAC is on the right path to reaching these goals, attitudes and a new paradigm for liberty and freedom.

My personal journey toward freedom

Reflecting on recent changes, in my life and the world around me.

The actions by the growing and ever darker creation known as government---not only here in the USA, but world wide---has turned ever more tyrannical, and collectivism grows everywhere, often under the guise of democracy,

I realize that change is coming. And not good change; necessary, and painful.

In my own non mainstream view, I am aiming to find a way to survive the economic turmoil coming, coming to America and elsewhere, with a vengeance. The dollar's demise, when it suddenly fall off the proverbial cliff without warning one day soon, there will be chaos in the streets and international markets. And the (non) fun will begin, the cow dung will hit the fan.

Over recent years, I have suffered 'familial distancing', and economic turmoil.

Now, I find myself in a new place, body, mind and relationally, as I work with an ever increasing like-minded, self-determining, often eccentric, but mostly independent-minded group of souls who see the political farce for what it is. I am lucky to be working in a new field, life giving, hope supporting and dedicated to improving the quality of life of anyone with whom we work.

It is new to me, the level of compassion necessary in this field of endeavor, but also magically stimulating, deep within me. And the very people that seek the services we provide, are mostly like-minded, independent thinkers, have seen behind the veil and aware of the growing menace of government intrusion into our lives at every turn.

I was not aware that these individuals, clients or patients, were such independent thinkers, equally self determining and self reliant as they are, but they are. Whether a farmer, writer, teacher, federal agent (ex), housewife, computer software programmer, carpenter, musician, professor, chemist, blogger; whether 26, 45 or 71, they are self determining, done their homework and research and came to our facility to fight the Big C that entered their lives, changed their lives and they have taken up arms to fight it.

But, more so, I have met like minded and very good people at work and among those who seek out services. I am living a most comfortable life, among good and like-minded folk, and exploring weekly the idea of living outside the U.S. as a Plan B. We are working on living freer by living more as free world travelers, establishing one or more facilities for fighting major health conditions via entrepreneurship, dynamic marketing to those affected and aware that the mainstream treatments are an abysmal failure.

I am pleased to be working with medical professionals from all levels, bringing good minds and high energy to addressing the issues involved. I am meeting people from around the country and the world that are like minded.

Now, may I find ways to strengthen my personal relationships with equal facility! There is a most desired goal over this holiday season.

Regardless, I am traveling South at the first of the year to move forward with a new operation for making a difference in physical and mental health afflicting so many. My work, this opportunity, could not be more timely for this gentleman who has found "Lodging for Wayfaring Men..." here and, in 2010, broad.

May you do as well, for I am happy, smile more easily and yes, can have a cappuccino each day again...

Martial Law: It is Unconstitutional!!!!!

Let's be very, VERY clear:

The U.S. Constitution and the state constitutions do not authorize martial law. No way, en nunca forma, absolutely not. Congress and for sure, the President cannot declare martial law. That means, 

“...no public official, and no officer of the Armed Forces, can invoke, enforce, or act under color of it without thereby violating his “Oath or Affirmation” of office.”

More so, if they were to do so, violate their oath, they are committing an act of treason.

Military officers; please, please, please realize that any order to move onto the streets of America by any superior officer, by any politician, is unconstitutional, null and void. YOU, should decline and, if necessary, arrest that person!

That means that FEMA and other actions taken during Katrina were illegal; they can administer help, but the use of force, the taking of weapons, was totally an impeachable and treasonable acts.

View the video and/or read the attached article. Under the constitution we had a model for emergencies and protecting ourselves, a history of over 150 years of locally organized militia, as a viable and proven way to involve local people when needed to defend, assist in an emergency.

Thought the Statist, based on UN modeling, based on collectivist model for governance that dominates around the world, the ideas, principles and concepts as found in the U.S. Constitution and the state Constitution's is unique, recognizes individual rights, voluntary association and solutions solved by those affected, not by external groups. This was demonstrated in the Chilean earthquake, in Japan during the nuclear fiasco and other known situations where cultures are self reliant. However, in the USA, there has been an overt effort to take control via Stalisk, Hitlarian if not Maoian models, all shown to have failed repeatedly, inefficient and ineffective causing millions and millions of lives to be lost to the stupidity behind the top down FEMA or DHA approach to 'helping.'

A Primer on Martial Law by Edwin Vieira; video on Vieira on executive orders. From Constitutional perspective, congress rules President and military depends on orders. Order through force could be army, if civilian govt gone; then army would act like police power. Gave

Civilian law superior to military law.

Constitutional sheriffs (Vieira) does not appear in Constitution. Sheriffs not on same plain as federal or states as they are mentioned in the Constitution. But the general assembly does give them power. However, militia does is on the same plain; and only time referenced in 2^nd amendment; posse comitatus is under their power, calling out the any able body under emergency. Could be self organized around the sheriff's office. (Insert sheriff article...)

“...Security of a Free State” ---2^nd amendment--- and role of militia, complements local control.

The people keeping and bearing arms keeps a free state, self government. Mao said political power grows out the barrel of a gun; 2^nd amendment allows a people to maintain a free state via militia. Constitutional structure is from the bottom up, not the model now being used from DC, top down. Dc creating a 1^st class police state; given the coming economic collapse and they do see this; DC is dong a top down planning model and it will not work.

Organizing from a local perspective WILL work. The main support pillar is the militia is necessary to the security of a free state.

Keys

• The Constitution mandates that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government” [Article IV, § 4]. By definition, “martial law” is not “a Republican Form of Government”. For the “definition of * * * a [republican] government is—one constructed on this principle, that the supreme power resides in the body of the people”. [Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dallas) 419, 457 (1793) (Wilson, J.)] And “martial law” derives its powers purely and simply from military force, not from the people. For that very reason, “martial law” is not any form of “Government[ ]” that “deriv[es its] just powers from the consent of the governed”—the only form of “Government[ ]” which the Declaration of Independence allows in America. Thus, perforce of this constitutional provision alone, “martial law” cannot be imposed by the United States on any State. And if any State attempts to set up “martial law” on her own, the United States must put it down forthwith.
• (i) Congress cannot authorize “martial law” by dint of any of its express powers, because no such express power can be found in the Constitution. Congress cannot do it by dint of an implied power, either. For, although Congress does have the power “[t]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” its enumerated powers [Article I, § 8, cl. 18], none of its enumerated powers relates to “martial law”—and therefore no implied power can be exercised in relation to that subject. In any event, Congress can enact only “Laws” pursuant to both its express and its implied powers; and no mere “Law[ ]” can override the Constitution.
• (ii) Neither can the President authorize “martial law”. Although the President is “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States” [Article II, § 2, cl. 1], in that capacity or any other he has no authority to make any “Laws of the United States”, or to set aside or suspend any of the “Laws” then in existence (unless perhaps those “Laws” themselves so provide). Rather, his constitutional duty is to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” [Article II, § 3]. So, if no “Law[ ]” allowing “martial law” exists, the duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” requires the President to refrain from any involvement whatsoever with “martial law”, except to prevent anyone else from attempting to impose it.
• (iii) The President enjoys no greater power to impose “martial law” by combining with the Senate “to make Treaties” [Article II, § 2, cl. 2]. For, as noted above, “Treaties” cannot set aside or suspend the Constitution.
• So, unless “martial law” is authorized by the Constitution itself, or by some constitutional “Laws of the United States” or constitutional “Treaties”, precisely to set aside or suspend the Constitution, then no public official, and no officer of the Armed Forces, can invoke, enforce, or act under color of it without thereby violating his “Oath or Affirmation” of office.
• Such an action by the President, et al, it would be treasonable.

A PRIMER ON “MARTIAL LAW”

By Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D.
August 31, 2009

NewsWithViews.com

It is difficult these days not to come upon some pessimistic patriotic commentator expressing the fear that something called “martial law” may soon be imposed on this country, as the General Government’s response to a new “terrorist attack”, or to the economic and social chaos arising out of a collapse of the monetary and banking systems, or to some other dire event that frightens hapless Americans into trading a sure and certain loss of their liberties for a dollop of conjectural safety.

An optimistic patriot might scoff at such fears. But both pessimists and optimists typically share the same implicit first premise: namely, that the form of “martial law” they have in mind is legitimate. Most of the time, this is a rather glaring and dangerous error.

In legal analysis, definitions of terms make all the difference. And “martial law” can be defined in at least four ways:

·First, the term could denote the law that Congress may enact for governance of the Armed Forces and “the Militia of the several States”. This kind of “martial law” is plainly legitimate, because the Constitution delegates to Congress the powers “[t]o make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces” and “[t]o provide * * * for governing such Part of the[ Militia of the several States] as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States, respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress”. [U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cls. 14 and 16.] With respect to “the land and naval Forces” such “martial law” applies at all times. With respect to the Militia, it applies only when the latter have been “call[ed] forth * * * to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions”. [U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 15.] With respect to everyone else, though, it applies not at all. This absolute separation the Fifth Amendment confirms: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger”. “Martial law” (in this first sense), which may (but need not necessarily) dispense with “Grand Jur[ies]”, applies only to “the land and naval forces” and to the Militia in time of “War” (“repel[ling] Invasions”) or “public danger” (“execut[ing] the Laws of the Union” and “suppress[ing] Insurrections”), and to no one else.

It would be clearer, though, not to describe these matters as involving “martial law, but instead to refer to them with particularity (as the Constitution does) as, say, “rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” and “rules for governing part of the Militia under certain conditions”. Then their application only to individuals in the Armed Forces (at all times and everywhere) and in the Militia (when “call[ed] forth” for the three constitutional purposes)—and their inapplicability to anyone else at any time, anywhere, for any reason—would immediately and always be beyond cavil.

·Second, the term “martial law” may denote the direct control of civilians by military personnel operating in those territories where civilians are present, but no effective (or even any) civilian government exists. For example, during a war, in the front lines and rear echelons, as well as in places in the immediate vicinity where no actual fighting with the enemy may be going on, but the civilian authorities have been destroyed or driven out as a consequence of previous fighting. Or, after some huge natural disaster, mammoth industrial accident, or “terrorists’ strike”, across a wide area in which every important civilian administration has been rendered inoperative. The justification for “martial law” in these cases is that, if the enforcement of civilian law is well-nigh impossible, some other form of order must be set up for the benefit of the civilians themselves who cannot be evacuated. To be sure, in a zone of military operations, crimes such as espionage, sabotage, banditry, looting, and otherwise terrorizing civilians have to be detected, tried, and punished as quickly as possible. But in the case of many (and probably most) other crimes, civilian suspects could simply be arrested and be held for later trial in civilian courts, under civilian law. And military personnel could perform the essentially “police” functions of detection, apprehension, and detention in keeping with the procedures and safeguards of civilian law, too.

·Third, the term “martial law” may denote outright military control of some area in which military personnel simply suppress the local civilian authorities and dictate to civilians under the threat of main force. Whether or not the military personnel are following some specific “code of military law”, “martial law” in this sense purports to set aside the Constitution and all of the other “Laws of the Union” and to substitute therefore the orders of officers in the Armed Forces. And any civilian who violates these orders—even if he is acting pursuant to the Constitution and other “Laws of the Union”—may be punished, perhaps unto death itself. Although many Americans might acquiesce in “martial law” of this variety if it were the only available and unavoidable response to an actual natural disaster, economic crisis, or other political or social upheaval of severe magnitude, many other Americans fear that public officials bent on usurpation and tyranny, on the pretext of some phony “emergency” that they themselves have created, will deploy the Armed Forces, along with various para-militarized State and local police and sheriffs’ departments, throughout the United States for the purpose, not of protecting, but of oppressing common Americans. Obviously, neither public officials nor officers of the Armed Forces can rationalize their imposition of “martial law” in some geographical area by themselves destroying, driving out, or otherwise suppressing the civilian authorities on the claim of an “emergency” that does not really exist. Once “martial law” has been imposed, however, a real “emergency” will exist—not least of all in the inability of civilian authorities and local residents to resist the oppressive forces occupying their territory. So “martial law” in this sense can amount to a self-fulfilling prophecy: Aspiring usurpers and tyrants in public office claim that an “emergency” exists. They declare “martial law” and deploy troops and para-militarized police forces. The imposition of “martial law” creates a real “emergency” of which average Americans have had no experience and for which they are totally unprepared. The resulting destruction of popular self-government rationalizes the maintenance of “martial law”.

The question, though, remains: Is “martial law” of this third variety legal in America? The answer demands painstaking analysis of the Constitution, which requires putting one’s self in the position of Americans in the late 1700s so as to understand what they understood. At that time, William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England was the most satisfactory exposition of the law available to Americans. “[M]ore copies of the work had been sold in this country than in England, so * * * undoubtedly the framers of the Constitution were familiar with it.” [Schick v. United States, 195 U.S. 65, 69 (1904).] Blackstone was highly critical and deeply suspicious of “martial law”:

WHEN the nation [i.e., England] was engaged in war, more veteran troops and more regular discipline were esteemed to be necessary, than could be expected from a mere militia. And therefore at such times more rigorous methods were put in use of the raising of armies and the due regulation and discipline of the soldiery: which are to be looked upon only as temporary excrescences bred out of the distemper of the state, and not as any part of the permanent and perpetual laws of the kingdom. For martial law, which is based upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in it’s decisions, is * * * in truth and reality no law, but something indulged, rather than allowed as a law: the necessity of order and discipline in an army is the only thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land. * * * And it is laid down, that if a lieutenant, doth in time of peace hang or otherwise execute any man by colour of martial law, this is murder; for it is against magna carta. And the petition of right enacts * * * that no commission shall issue to proceed within this land, according to martial law. [American Edition (1771), Volume 1, at 412 (footnotes omitted).]

Patriotic Americans in the late 1700s thought no better of “martial law”. Here, the Declaration of Independence provides compelling evidence. As the Declaration recounted:

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.—
* * * * *
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.—
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:—
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:—
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States[.]

In this litany of the most egregious aspects of “martial law”, the worst is that “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power”—for , if that can be done, then all the rest (and even more) will inevitably follow, inasmuch as no one will have any legal recourse against whatever the executors of “martial law” may choose to do.

No American alive today can believe that the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, who acted upon it to separate the Colonies from and to conduct a long and sanguinary war against Great Britain, and who upon the strength of the Declaration then enacted constitutions for their States and the United States ever imagined that the powers to behave in the fashion of George III—powers that he had used to bring about “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object [that] evince[d] a design to reduce [Americans] under absolute Despotism”; and powers the very use of which justified the invocation and exercise of “the[ people’s] right, * * * their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”—were among the “just powers” that “Governments * * * instituted among Men, deriv[e] * * * from the consent of the governed”. And no American alive today can believe that WE THE PEOPLE in that era authorized the States and then the United States in their constitutions to do what the Declaration of Independence had just condemned as “abuses”, “injuries[,] and usurpations” aiming at nothing less than “absolute Despotism” and “absolute Tyranny”. Moreover, what Americans believed and incorporated into their fundamental law then retains operative force today. For if the Declaration of Independence did not state the necessary and sufficient legal principles upon which the Colonies became independent States, then everything the States and their people did thereafter is devoid of legal basis.

Perusal of the Constitution easily proves the illegitimacy of “martial law” in the third sense. “Martial law” of this type purports to set aside or suspend the Constitution and potentially all other “Laws of the Union”, upon the mere say-so of military officers (or of rogue civilian public officials colluding with military officers). Thus, “martial law” proceeds on the premise that it is the “supreme law” in this country. The Constitution, however, declares that “[t]his Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land”. [Article VI, cl. 2.] And all public officials, including officers of the Armed Forces, “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”. [Article VI, cl. 3.] So, unless “martial law” is authorized by the Constitution itself, or by some constitutional “Laws of the United States” or constitutional “Treaties”, precisely to set aside or suspend the Constitution, then no public official, and no officer of the Armed Forces, can invoke, enforce, or act under color of it without thereby violating his “Oath or Affirmation” of office.

Even if “martial law” (in this third sense) were itself a “Law[ ] of the United States”, it could not set aside or suspend the Constitution of its own force, because no mere “Law[ ] of the United States” can have that effect. Any such purported “Law[ ]” would not be “in Pursuance [of the Constitution]” but in derogation and destruction of it. [See, e.g., Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 173-180 (1803); Miranda v. Arizona,384 U.S. 436, 491 (1966); United States v. Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. 873, 877-878 (1975).] The same would be true were “martial law” purportedly allowed under one or more “Treaties”. For no “Treaties” can set aside or suspend the Constitution, either. [See, e.g., United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 701 (1898); Doe v. Braden, 57 U.S. (16 Howard) 635, 657 (1863); The Cherokee Tobacco, 78 U.S. (11 Wallace) 616, 620-621 (1871); Holden v. Joy, 84 U.S. (17 Wallace) 211, 243 (1872); Geofroy v. Riggs, 133 U.S. 258, 267 (1890); Asakura v. City of Seattle, 265 U.S. 332, 341 (1924); United States v. Minnesota, 270 U.S. 181, 208 (1926); Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1, 16-18 (1957) (Black, J., announcing the judgment of the Court).] Therefore, unless within the Constitution itself lurks some power to set aside or suspend it, with no guarantee of its ever being reestablished, “martial law” is utterly impossible, as a direct contradiction of the Constitution’s legal supremacy. And no such power exists. For example—

(i) Congress cannot authorize “martial law” by dint of any of its express powers, because no such express power can be found in the Constitution. Congress cannot do it by dint of an implied power, either. For, although Congress does have the power “[t]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” its enumerated powers [Article I, § 8, cl. 18], none of its enumerated powers relates to “martial law”—and therefore no implied power can be exercised in relation to that subject. In any event, Congress can enact only “Laws” pursuant to both its express and its implied powers; and no mere “Law[ ]” can override the Constitution.

(ii) Neither can the President authorize “martial law”. Although the President is “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States” [Article II, § 2, cl. 1], in that capacity or any other he has no authority to make any “Laws of the United States”, or to set aside or suspend any of the “Laws” then in existence (unless perhaps those “Laws” themselves so provide). Rather, his constitutional duty is to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” [Article II, § 3]. So, if no “Law[ ]” allowing “martial law” exists, the duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” requires the President to refrain from any involvement whatsoever with “martial law”, except to prevent anyone else from attempting to impose it.

(iii) The President enjoys no greater power to impose “martial law” by combining with the Senate “to make Treaties” [Article II, § 2, cl. 2]. For, as noted above, “Treaties” cannot set aside or suspend the Constitution.

(iv) The Constitution does allow for “[t]he Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus * * * [to] be suspended, * * * when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it” [Article I, § 9, cl. 2]. But this does not amount to a power to invoke or execute “martial law”, because suspension of the writ has no necessary connection with “martial law”, howsoever defined. Suspension of the writ addresses merely one part of the civilian law, licensing civilian authorities to hold a suspect without bail, pending his trial. Although that part of the civilian law is temporarily suspended, no form of military law is, or need be, thereby substituted for it. Indeed, the Armed Forces play no part in the process at all. Importantly, the conditions precedent for suspension of the writ—i.e., “Rebellion or Invasion” sufficient to endanger “the public Safety”—involve situations which advocates of “martial law” claim justify it. Yet, even under in those situations, the Constitution does not suggest the propriety of, let alone call for, “martial law”, suspension of the writ alone being deemed sufficient to protect “the public Safety”.

(v) The Constitution mandates that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government” [Article IV, § 4]. By definition, “martial law” is not “a Republican Form of Government”. For the “definition of * * * a [republican] government is—one constructed on this principle, that the supreme power resides in the body of the people”. [Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dallas) 419, 457 (1793) (Wilson, J.)] And “martial law” derives its powers purely and simply from military force, not from the people. For that very reason, “martial law” is not any form of “Government[ ]” that “deriv[es its] just powers from the consent of the governed”—the only form of “Government[ ]” which the Declaration of Independence allows in America. Thus, perforce of this constitutional provision alone, “martial law” cannot be imposed by the United States on any State. And if any State attempts to set up “martial law” on her own, the United States must put it down forthwith.

(vi) Inasmuch as the United States cannot impose the third variety of “martial law” in any State, and no State can impose such “martial law” within her own territory, where in America could “martial law” ever exist? Not even in the District of Columbia and in “all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be”, over which “Places” the Constitution empowers Congress “[t]o exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever” [Article I, § 8, cl. 17]. For, even in those “Places”, Congress may not enact arbitrary legislation. As Blackstone pointed out, “martial law, which is based upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in it’s decisions, is * * * in truth and reality no law, but something indulged, rather than allowed as a law”. The very essence of “martial law” is vagueness, because no one can predict what orders military officers may pronounce on the spur of the moment, or how they may interpret or enforce them. Indeed, this very “flexibility” of “martial law” its advocates typically commend most highly. “[A] statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application”, however, “violates the first essential of due process of law”. [Connally v. General Construction Company, 269 U.S. 385, 391 (1926).] So, even if “martial law” were explicitly enacted into some supposed statute, it would “violate[ ] the first essential of due process of law”, and therefore be unconstitutional—hardly a surprising result, though, given that “martial law * * * is * * * in truth and reality no law” at all.

(vii) The essence of “martial law” in this third sense may be vague, but its constitutional effect is pellucid: Any attempt to impose “martial law” by force is nothing less than “Treason”. The Constitution declares that “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort” [Article III, § 3, cl. 1]. And “if [‘War’] be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled, for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable purpose, all those who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors”. [Ex parte Bollman, 8 U.S. (4 Cranch) 75, 126 (1807).] In operation, “martial law” proceeds by arraying men under arms in order to set aside or suspend the Constitution of the United States, in whole or in part, and to employ those arms against anyone who resists—without any constitutional or other lawful authority for doing so. Therefore, inasmuch as “the United States” exists only perforce and through application of the Constitution, “martial law” amounts to “levying War against the[ United States]”. And inasmuch as WE THE PEOPLE are the authors and beneficiaries of the Constitution, “martial law” amounts as well to “levying War against” THE PEOPLE themselves. It would be immaterial that those who attempted to impose “martial law” wore uniforms (even with United States flags as shoulder patches), or held military commissions, or acted pursuant to orders from supposed superiors. Even someone who commits “Treason” under a claim of “good faith” is entitled to no immunity. This principle is part of the modern Law of Nations: “[T]hat the [officer] acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior shall not free him from responsibility”. [Charter of the International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg, Germany, 1945), art. 8.] And it subsists in American law of a far longer heritage. [E.g., Mitchell v. Harmony, 54 U.S. (13 Howard) 115, 137 (1851).]

In sum, “martial law” in the third sense of that term cannot exist in this country. It is a legal impossibility. Participation in it would constitute the most serious of all crimes. And it would supply just grounds for mass resistance among the citizenry aimed at overthrowing whatever purported governmental apparatus attempted to impose it. For, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, under such circumstances “it is the[ people’s] right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”. And the Declaration of Independence is still very good law in America.

All that being so, who in his right mind would ever attempt to impose such a form of “martial law” on America? Perhaps no one. Yet Americans must be prepared for the possibility that individuals not in their right minds may somehow insinuate themselves into high public offices and the upper echelons of the officer corps of the Armed Forces, and from those points d’appui seek to transmogrify this country from a constitutional republic into a “national-security state”, a “garrison state”, or a “para-military police state”. It is not sufficient to contend that, insofar as responsible people with well-balanced minds presumably outnumber political psychopaths by many orders of magnitude, America has nothing to fear. For that would be true only if such right-thinking Americans were properly organized to meet the danger in the “well regulated Militia” which the Second Amendment to the Constitution itself tells them are “necessary to the security of a free State”.

·Thus, analysis arrives at the fourth definition of “martial law”—namely, when “the Militia of the several States” are “call[ed] forth * * * to execute the Laws of the Union, [or] suppress Insurrections” [Article I, § 8, cl. 15]. This would be “martial law” in the sense that the Militia would be performing a “police” function in a para-military fashion, according to their training and discipline. Nonetheless, it would be the exact opposite of “martial law” in the third sense described above, because, in application to civilians, the Militia would execute civilian law (“the Laws of the Union”). Moreover, as the Constitution plainly mandates in the generality of its language, when so “call[ed] forth” the Militia would be required to execute all of “the Laws of the Union”, including the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, both substantively and procedurally.

Besides being undoubtedly valid, because the Constitution provides for it in so many words, this form of “martial law” would never become politically dangerous. For unlike “martial law” of the third type, under color of which members of the Armed Forces would be deployed to repress people they did not know in localities in which they had never lived or worked, “martial law” centered on the Militia would always involve in the forefront of operations local Militiamen who could never be expected to oppress their own families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Indeed, if the territory being policed contained civilians, and least some of them would be members of the Militia—and therefore to a large extent the Militia would be policing themselves.

Unfortunately, “[a] well regulated Militia” of the constitutional pattern does not exist in a single State today. And none will exist until enough Americans who want this country to avoid having to relive the perilous circumstances that justified the Declaration of Independence come forward to correct this deficiency.

Daily Bell: We've noticed the tribal areas that remain the freest – or at least unengaged from global government – are the ones where people are armed, like Yemen and Afghanistan. Is this coincidence?
Edwin Vieira, Jr: Hardly. As Mao Tse-tung wrote, "'[p]olitical power grows out the barrel of a gun'." Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-tung (Peking, China: Foreign Languages Press, First Edition, 1966), at 61. The Second Amendment makes the same point, albeit more idealistically: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Daily Bell: Are the elites worried about sparking a guerilla war in the West? Is this the reason for gun control?
Edwin Vieira, Jr: The reason for gun control is to deny common Americans the ability, and thereby the right, to live in "a free State," because the Second Amendment tells us that "the security of a free State" depends upon "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms." You can't have the former without the latter. And you can't attack the latter without attacking the former.
Obviously, the "elitists" must be extremely concerned with the level of armament among average Americans, and how ill it bodes for their schemes. If they push too hard, too fast, and too openly, some hard-bitten Americans are likely to start asking their oppressors point-blank: "Is enforcing the latest bit of bureaucratic stupidity and insolence worth anyone's life?" And once the shooting starts, all bets are off. Indeed, a betting man would probably not give odds against 100 million or more angry Americans armed with 200 to 300 million firearms and who knows how much ammunition. (Especially if a sizeable part of the Armed Forces sided with the insurgents.) Thinking about that possibility must keep the "elitists" in a cold sweat at night. Of course, no rational person wants any shooting to start. And the "elitists," if they were rational, would want it less than everyone else. But how rational are they?
Daily Bell: Is it rational to believe that if martial law came to America, that the country could be easily subdued?
Edwin Vieira, Jr: Martial law" – which is not "law" at all, but simply military force applied without limit to the populace – will not "come to America" until the country has been subdued. A "declaration of martial law" is nothing but that, until it is enforced. That's where the admonition "the Devil is in the details" will be proven true in spades.
Daily Bell: Best case – where is the US and the world headed? Worst case? Are you hopeful? Do you foresee a freer civil society to hand your children?
Edwin Vieira, Jr: I foresee a great deal of trouble before this country and the world exit the dark tunnel into which the "elitists" have led us. Do you imagine that the Federal Reserve System's monetary Ponzi scheme and the U.S. Treasury's gargantuan burden of debt, utterly unpayable in real terms, will not be dealt with by, or lead inexorably to, hyperinflation in the near term? And do you imagine that hyperinflation will not result in economic collapse, political upheavals, and massive civil unrest?
Out of all this a free society may emerge. But, first, a lot of teeth will have to be pulled from the vampires now parasitizing this country and the world. And they will not sit still in the dentists' chairs for the operations, I warrant. So I hope that my children turn out to be as tough customers as the Finns were not so long ago. They fought Stalin to a standstill twice, and walked away still in control of their own country. That proves it can be done, if one wants it enough.
