They also think that anyone who does not think like them is a disloyal moron who can\u2019t be trusted and should go live somewhere else. Their slogan:\u00a0<em>\u201cIf you don\u2019t like it here, leave!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, things are not quite that simple.\u00a0To most Americans, the notion of our government having been overthrown is the fodder of conspiracy nuts or the province of people out of touch with reality. However, not only do the vast majority of Americans have no clue the United States\u00a0government <a title=\"The Federal Reserve Bank \u2013 100 Years of Deception\" href=\"http:\/\/wakeup-world.com\/2015\/08\/02\/the-federal-reserve-bank-100-years-of-deception\/\" target=\"_blank\">was overthrown at the start of the 20th\u00a0century<\/a>, they also have no comprehension of the insane and exorbitant price we \u2013 the global community \u2013 are collectively paying\u00a0as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back in American history to the turn of the century when the nation was only 124 years old, and imagine that a coup occurred; that\u00a0Americans living at the time suddenly awoke one morning and found that the conspirators behind the coup had published a manifesto establishing a new government that all Americans would have to swear allegiance to.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine this manifesto is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>All departments and branches of the old government would remain in place and functional but the coup conspirators would retain behind-the-scenes dictatorial power over the actions and decisions of our government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The nation will go off the gold standard and Congress will no longer coin money and regulate its value. Instead, the dollar will be backed by nothing other than good faith and a private corporation controlled by the coup conspirators would print and control the money supply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Your new government intends to dominate and control the entire world. To help finance this goal there will be a new tax on the salaries and wages of all working Americans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>All political parties save two will be rendered dysfunctional and Americans will vote primarily for one of two candidates in the two approved parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The powers of the executive branch will be increase dramatically and the President will be able write laws, pass judgment upon laws, and ignore laws as he deems appropriate including those within our Constitution. He will also be able to make or ignore treaties, extend or withhold human rights including inalienable rights, and declare war when he deems appropriate including pre-emptive war.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>A sitting President, once elected, will be above the law and un-impeachable for both job-related and other crimes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>State governments will no longer appoint senatorial representatives and the new centralized federal government will retain supreme authority over the states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Government employees, for the most part, will be paid better and receive far more employee benefits than their counterparts in private industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Congress will no longer draft and write laws. Instead, they will be written by representatives from the industries affected by the laws being written.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Congress will no longer regulate trade with foreign nations. Instead the coup conspirators will perform this function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Citizens will only enjoy rights at the pleasure of the government and in no way will consideration of citizen\u2019s rights infringe upon the prerogatives of government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The Supreme Court will no longer intervene or interfere with anything that government does and the courts will not allow citizens to petition the government for the redress of grievances when these grievances concern government decisions, actions, and prerogatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Citizens will no longer retain an exclusive right to their property and possessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Citizens will no longer be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Citizens will no longer retain a right to privacy and can be spied upon without their knowledge whenever government deems appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The United States will no longer exist as a free and independent nation. Furthermore, its borders with Mexico and Canada will be dissolved and a common currency called the Amero will be established for the three economically united nations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I do not think that there is American alive today who would not agree that if a\u00a0coup occurred as described, most Americans at the turn of the 19th\u00a0century would rise up and do battle with its perpetrators. Furthermore, if any American living at the time sided with the coup conspirators by agreeing that such an absurd and despotic manifesto should govern the United States and its people, then that person would be considered a traitor in league with the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>All of the above is a forgone conclusion, but what should also be obvious is that if you could talk to any American living at the start of the 20th\u00a0century and ask them if they thought that all the provisions of the manifesto in question would eventually become operative and functional for the nation within the next 100 years, they would say such a thing is impossible and conclude they you were daft for even entertaining such a ridiculous notion.<\/p>\n<h2>Reality Check\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Well, as ridiculous as this notion is, in case you haven\u2019t been paying attention, the absurd manifesto described above is the unwritten, <em>but functional,<\/em> Constitution of the United States of America. The\u00a0old written Constitution, the one given to the U.S. people\u00a0by its\u00a0Founding Fathers, has been rendered dysfunctional such that it is now nothing more than a historical curiosity that has no bearing on how our government actually functions and operates. Therefore, the government we live under today, beyond question, is illegal, unconstitutional, and rules without the consent of the governed, with the exception, of course, of all those who are still proud to be an American.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27683\" style=\"width: 685px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/The-Curse-of-the-Proud-American.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-27683\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27683\" class=\"wp-image-27683 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/The-Curse-of-the-Proud-American.jpg\" alt=\"The-Curse-of-the-Proud-American\" width=\"675\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/The-Curse-of-the-Proud-American.jpg 675w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/The-Curse-of-the-Proud-American-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Modern day propaganda, complete with military salute, construes flag-waving zealotry as \u201cpatroitism\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many Americans living today, while they agree that most of the items in the manifesto are operational and undesirable, disagree that a coup has taken place and hold that we got to where we are today by a random accumulation of events, similar to evolution.
