When we give birth to something, it's always a painful process.
Why should we expect the birth of a State Assembly to be different?
Created originally under the force of war, each State Assembly came to be under extraordinarily difficult conditions.
Only about 10% of the population was engaged in the political and economic and philosophical debates that precipitated The War of Independence, though nearly everyone suffered from the impositions and conditions discussed throughout The Unanimous Declaration of Independence.
Why is it that only 10% carried the brunt of the burden of the war?
Only 10% organized to oppose Britain. And only 10% truly knew the
causes that propelled men to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
You are part of that 10% now.
Don't expect that the 90% are going to undergo some miraculous and immediate awakening and that everyone will see the necessity of what you are doing or why. Stop a moment and think: how did I get here?
It probably started as a vague, irritating, itch-like, nagging sense that something wasn't right. Something wasn't adding up, but you probably ignored that for years.
Then something happened. Something that brought that vague irritation into focus. It could have been a bullying cop at a traffic stop. Or a CPS or IRS Agent showing up at your door unannounced.
Maybe it was something that happened to a family member or friend.
And suddenly, you couldn't ignore the itch anymore.
That's how you got here.
That's how nearly everyone gets here.
Initially, you feel disoriented, like you got socked in the gut and didn't see it coming. You don't quite know how to respond or what to expect.
As the shock of what you've learned sinks deeper, you sometimes don't know what to think or believe and can't tell what's solid -- and what's quicksand.
Confusion sets in.
And with confusion comes fear of the unknown.
You thought you were a "US Citizen". You thought America was a democracy.
Turns out that isn't so.
Instead, you have a whole new identity as an American State National, and your government is a grassroots affair without political parties at all.
Somewhere in the midst of all this, you feel an inexplicable rage.
You've been lied to. Abused. Your whole country has been abused.
Defrauded. Denigrated. Used. By people who owed you "good faith service".
You have been harassed and misrepresented and endangered, and so has your family, at the hands of your own public employees.
Most likely, you've been suckered into paying mortgages you don't owe, property taxes you don't owe, income taxes you don't owe.
Even your marriage has been "licensed" and turned into a privilege.
Next, in this painful birthing process, after the shock, confusion, fear, and anger, you may try to deny it all. It isn't real. You must be mistaken. It's just a conspiracy theory.
You try to run away and go back to your old life, but that's not possible. You've seen what you've seen, and now, finally, a calm and deadly acceptance sets in.
It is what it is, and it's up to you to change things. This may be terrifying, but it's true, and your hero's quest has begun, silently, without any fanfare.
You feel so utterly alone....but wait....
There are millions of other people going through this same process, the same awakening, all in different stages of it.
Learn to see and understand where people are in this process, and ease their way. Comfort them. Reassure them that they aren't alone. Understand their anger. Lead them onward.
We are assembling now, peaceably restoring our American Government to full form and function. It's the single most important thing we can do, to reclaim our rights, our assets, and our powers.
The only reason for a government to exist is to protect the people and their property. It is self-evident that the present excuse for a government has done the exact opposite, and has acted as a self-interested parasite, instead.
So, as our ancestors learned --- if you want something done right, you have to do it yourselves.
We are now engaged in the hurly-burly of self-government. It's not always going to be easy. There will be strife and disagreements, personalities at odds, confusions abounding.
Some people will find it very difficult to give up competition as a way of life. Some will try to commandeer and seize "power" out of habit, or because it's all they know or because they are afraid.
Yet, if we make the earnest and determined effort to communicate, if we turn our backs on fear and gossip, if we are each honest and patient and circumspect --- and take the time to recognize where other people are in this process, it can be done.
We can self-govern, beginning with ourselves and our own behavior, then step-by-step, engaging our families, our communities, our counties, our states, our country, and our world.
All of this belongs to each one of us, and is part of our inheritance; we share the equal duty to care for it, preserve it, and yes, rule over it.
