Survival Heads-Up...

[jonas parker]

I'm going to post this here because the folks interested in survival are most likely to read it and pay attention. Things here in the US are headed downward at an alarming rate, both the economy and the political stability. There is a youtube video out there showing stock traders in Chicago jeering the current administration's economic policies while one of the TV networks was doing a live broadcast there this morning.

Even more interesting is that over ten different states have bills working their way through the state legislature on the way to the U.S. Federal Government, restating in not very subtle terms the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

These bills should be seen as both widespread discontent with the Federal Government and not-so-veiled threats of a growing succession movement. The State of Texas has, by the way, written into the State Constitution, the right to succeed from the United States.

The bill from Texas is fairly representative of the bills from the other States and I've posted it at the bottom of this thread.

What does all this mean? I'm not certain, but I would guess that things will get really bad here, fairly soon and probably very suddenly. I hope you all in the UK read and heed. I don't think we have a whole lot of time left.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people";
and

WHEREAS, The Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and

WHEREAS, Many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, The Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and

WHEREAS, Section 4, Article IV, of the Constitution says, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," and the Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people" and

WHEREAS, The United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and

RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate of the United States Congress, and to all the members of the Texas delegation to the congress with the request that this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
