"I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive."
- Thomas Jefferson

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its issuance."
- James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution, 4th US President

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground; That "all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people."
To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition." Thomas Jefferson, February 15, 1791, quoting the 10th Amendment

"...And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-manager's to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers..."
Thomas Jefferson, in The making of America, p. 395

"Next to revenue (taxes) itself, the late extensions of the jurisdiction of the admiralty are our greatest grievance. The American Courts of Admiralty seem to be forming by degrees into a system that is to overturn our Constitution and to deprive us of our best inheritance, the laws of the land. It would be thought in England a dangerous innovation if the trial, of any matter on land was given to the admiralty." John Adams in Jackson v. Magnolia, 20 How. 296 315, 342 (U.S. 1852)

"How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it." Henry David Thoreau

"It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error." Justice Robert H. Jackson

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison

God has supplied each of us with the freedom of governance. There are infinite possibilities for governance, yet all but two are founded in fiction. Satan could only offer Christ all the Kingdoms of the world, because they are his to give. They exist only in the smoke and mirrors of the spiritual realm of ideas and imagiNations.

The real choice of governance is between God and Man. Whether man delegates his rule to another man, other men, a demon, or a demonocracy, the source of the God-given power of governance is the self-same self.

Union or separation; Heaven or hell: When we choose the path of service rather than wanting to be self-serving, we find the actualization and fulfillment of the self.

The moment we choose to offer our selves wholly to God's divine Will, we are beginning with acceptance of His divine Plan and the Truth of all that is, just as it is so at this very moment in His Time.
 
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it." - Thomas Paine

"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for independence." - Charles A. Beard

"The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no such duty [to submit his books and papers for an examination] to the State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law of the land [Common Law] long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the Constitution. Among his rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights." Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 at 47 (1905).

"...at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects... with none to govern but themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens, and as joint tenants in the sovereignty."
Chisholm v. Georgia (US) 2 Dall 419, 454, 1 L Ed 440, 455 @DALL 1793 pp471-472

Men and nations may refuse obedience to Christ, but they cannot withhold it from Him. They can violate His law, but they must fulfil His purposes. They all involuntarily serve Him. The Father hath said unto Him, "Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies" ( Ps. 110:2 ). "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet" (1 Cor. 15:25 ). The usurper and the warrior are His servants. The wicked is the rod of His indignation. With this He can punish and correct; afterwards He can burn it in the fire. Messiah, Governor of the Nations of the Earth
