What Happened-NO

Unpublished

This is not about politics.

This is about restoring what was lost.

When our Founding Fathers separated from the tyranny of the British Crown, they drafted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring that our rights came not from kings or governments, but from God.

A few short years later, after fighting to secure those rights, our Founding Fathers created the Constitution for the United States of America, signed September 17, 1787. This document didn’t establish a government “of” the United States, like a corporation. It created a union of sovereign states, governed by the people, under God’s law, a republic.

Why This Matters

 

  • Because your rights come from God — not government.
  • Because real government must have the consent of the governed.
  • Because what we have now operates like a corporation, not a republic.
  • Because your children deserve to inherit freedom — not servitude.

What Happened?

 

In 1861, as tensions arose between North and South, several Southern states walked out of Congress. This broke quorum, meaning Congress could no longer lawfully conduct business. But instead of adjourning properly, they left the session in limbo. The constitutional government effectively went dark.

In the vacuum, military rule quietly stepped in, codified in The Lieber Code (General Orders 100) in 1863. This military rule was supposed to be temporary, lasting only until the people reestablished lawful civil government. But that never happened.

Then came the Organic Act of 1871, which incorporated the District of Columbia and laid the groundwork for municipalities and government structures to be treated like corporate entities, not sovereign republics.

The Organic Act, along with international banking interests and legal manipulation, allowed foreign influence, particularly through the Crown, to regain control from within.
