“When”, indeed. That Document further states, in part [with emphasis mine]:
“That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness], it is THE RIGHT of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
. . . .
“But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is THEIR RIGHT, it is THEIR DUTY, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
We were so fortunate that the Founders were the well-read geniuses they were, that their creation lasted as long as it has… that spirit still exists, but we gotta say “when”….
[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

The time is long past when a Convention of States should have been convened- – – – -not to amend or replace the current Constitution, but to reaffirm the allegiance of “We The People” to the existing one. If that must be done by “refreshing the tree of Liberty”- – – – -so be it!
I recently shared a video from April, 2009, of the Tea Party rally my late wife had, for the most part, organized herself. (She’d located and contacted about a dozen likeminded people through various online groups at the time. We met in March and had the rally five or six weeks later).
It was comprised of about 2000 people who showed up at the Louisiana State Capitol around noon on a Wednesday.
The Tea Party’s across the country sprang up from the people, for the most part, due to fears they had what the election of Barak Obama might bring.
Now the party of Brandon is fulfilling those fears and far more/worse.
Where the fuck is the Tea Party now?
It willl be more like the Second Revolution rather than Civil War 2. There were lots of Royalists against “rebellion” all over the country, not so much now but they are pretty much city folk…cut their power, water, internet comm towers and….
“and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men;”
We need to take these words to heart. For too long we have watched public “servants” to become millionaires on a salary that comes nowhere near that level. And the sources of their income need a close scrutiny followed by a relentless prosecution. Political dynasties need to be ended, as does the practice of filling positions vacated by death with the wife or other family members of the late official.
I read it and forgot to save it. Maybe some one else has it. One man bought one hundred thousand covid test kits for a dollar a piece. The US Govt., bought 4-5 hundred million covid test kits from the same Chinese company and spent 1.3 Billion dollars. Most people get a much lower price for larger quantities.
There’s No Telling Where The Money Went.
It was probably redirected into the coffers of the Democrat Party.

Don’t forget the 10% for the ‘big guy’.
The most assured method to turn a huge profit for any company consists of only two words ‘government contract’

In any sales contract for quantities of 100,000 or more, the price is negotiable. One buyer was negotiating for himself. The other didn’t give a s$&* because he was spending other people’s money.

To quote Montgomery, “The capacity is no use, if you lack the will to use it.”
Apparently, to overthrow the government all you need is for some unarmed people to be escorted by federal officers on an impromptu tour of a publicly owned building.

The “when” was 1/6/21.
But as the few real Patriots like Ms Babbit called for the attack on the Swamp of Pigs they thought she said Bay of Pigs, and abandoned them.
Perfect
I’ve long liked Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday in Tombstone calling out Johnny Ringo with “Say when” …
A most Happy and Blessed 4th of July Independence Day to all.

Bring back dueling!
Our founding fathers would be considered terrorists in there own country now…. The true ( Enemies Domestic ) work to enslave us in D.C.
Including the retarded sock puppet in the White House.
I give us less than 5 years and it’s gonna hit the fan, when it does…. It’s gonna make the first civil war look like childs play.
I do not want this but it has become necessary. will our nation survive it, I have my doubts.

Blockade the roads exiting the big blue Schiff holes.
Brilliant piece today. Yes, “when”

We are long past the time Heinlein spoke of when he had Lazarus Long say that in a mature society Public Servant became Public Master.

Those causing the problem have been doing it for a long time. They continue to do so without consequence.They have homes and families.

The Tea Party rallys from 2009 would be considered ‘insurrections’ today.
When? But, but that would be destroying their “My Precious Democracy”.
