Why Ryan McMaken of the Mises Institute gets it entirely wrong about Republics by promoting Anarchy.

Ryan McMaken’s argument here is against the Constitution and for Anarchy. Anarchy, the system under which we live, and have lived for 150+ years…sucks. The U.S. Constitution was usurped in 1868 with the 14th Amendment.

The owners of the Federal Reserve System of elastic currency are corporate anarchists in direct violation of the Constitution … meaning that they have ‘no rulers’ over them. King Charles III, chief of the Anglo empire, is a corporate anarchist promoting the “Terra Carta” not the “Magna Carta.” Corporate rule authorizes limited personal liability which means corporate owners are personally above the law while the plain people have to obey their rule of law.

McMaken downplays the fact that corporate anarchy is the chaos we live today, yet people either respect the laws of the land or they don’t. Corporate anarchists don’t. Since, the laws of land have not been respected since 1868 when the Constitution was usurped by the 14th Amendment then America has been living under corporate anarchist rule ever since. We live in chaos and we need to get our freedom back by forcing elected officials to obey the laws of the land as written in the American Constitution.

McMaken gets it wrong … Hamilton got it right. Since the ‘Bill of Rights’ were the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, then that left the door open for corporate anarchists to limit free speech, repeal the 2nd Amendment, ignore the 4th and 5th Amendments, and violate individual rights all the time. The police imprison “the people” without due process of law because police are the enforcement arm of corporate anarchists …. that’s who pays them. Police “Protect and Serve” the Owners… The Big Club not “the people”. Alexander Hamilton told us this would be the result but McMaken tries to pull the wool over our eyes.

McMaken gets the dates wrong too. War was waged in 1861, but the Constitution was left unchanged until it was usurped by the 13th in 1865 and the 14th Amendment of Corporate rule in 1868. ProveItsReal.com

McMaken says,
“As to the matter of republican longevity overall, Madison’s more centralized constitution failed to impress. The republic he and Hamilton hammered together required less than a century to descend into a failed state and bloody civil war in 1861.”

McMaken gets it wrong again.
Madison & Hamilton’s “American System” did not fail to impress as McMaken claims… quite the opposite… it offered the greatness of America to free people the liberty, peace and prosperity for “the people’ … you.

Lord Acton… On the “American System” - 1866
“It is in conformity with the theory of equality to check the causes which disturb it, and to give as near as possible to every youth an equal start in life. Every American is a self-made man, and they are unwilling that any should be deprived in childhood of the means of competition. Therefore in several states a system of instruction was introduced which enabled a pupil to advance from the first rudiments of knowledge to the end of a university course, and to prepare himself for the learned professions, without payment of a single shilling.”

“Taxation was scarcely felt; there was no standing army; a navy that weighed lightly in the budget, an inconsiderable public debt. No neighboring power threatened the safety of the country. No internal disaffection disturbed the peaceful reign of law. And this material progress, though checked by serious drawbacks, was not obtained at the expense of the higher elements of civilization."

"In literature at least I entirely dissent from the opinion which denies to Americans an honorable place beside European nations. It may be said that they have had no first-rate poet or painter, and that they have done little for scholarship and antiquities. But it appears to me impossible with justice to deny that they are our equals in political eloquence and philosophy, or that they surpass us as writers on the history of the continent and on the art of government.”

“In practical politics they had solved with astonishing and unexampled success two problems which had hitherto baffled the capacity of the most enlightened nations: they had contrived a system of federal government which prodigiously increased the national power and yet respected local liberties and authorities; and they had founded it on the principle of equality, without surrendering the securities for property and freedom. I call their success unexampled, not because it is a forcible term, but because it exactly indicates the peculiar character of the history of the American Constitution, and its special signicance for ourselves.”

In other words, according to the great liberty historian Lord Acton … America’s greatness came from Constitutional government of “the people”, by “the people”, for “the people” not from the anarchy of mob rule professed by Ryan McMaken of the Mises Institute.

Wrong again. McMaken ’the secessionist” writes,
“After that, the US was based no longer on the same alleged social contract that had been the basis of the 1787 constitution. The old constitution endures today in a de jure sense only. The post-1861 de facto republic has always been based on military conquest and newly invented “law” by federal judges declaring the federal state to no longer be a voluntary union of republics.”

The 14th Amendment put “the people” in debt at birth “subject to” the crown. It was the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which brought perpetual wars… starting with WWI in 1914 and military conquest ever since.

Note: The above statement is a dead giveaway for the astute as to who is the gatekeeper.

Why Madison and Hamilton Were Wrong About Republics

The debate between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists in the late eighteenth century was fundamentally a debate over whether or not Americans wanted or needed a large national state. Thus, in their effort to push ratification of the new constitution, the Federalists employed a wide variety of arguments designed primarily to convince the public that the United States, as it stood in 1787, was not politically centralized enough. We often find words like “licentiousness” and “anarchy” used by the Federalists to describe what will afflict the United States if it does not embrace a larger and stronger national government. The Federalists often … Continue reading →
