I thank you for puttin on your dancing shoes, combat boots, muck boots, or flippers and getting off the couch, putting the popcorn in the garbage and giving a fresh perspective for me to consider on something not well understood. I am a nurse, have lost job, family, friends, colleagues but luckily, I still have a brain and some skills that has helped me to deal. I realize there are more shock waves comin my way and am bracing myself for them. I have been in the middle of it all in whatever way I can be. TRUTH is something that has changed like my jeans, and I would never trust my blue jeans to get me through this. I have to do it!
Arent you a bit late??On this one. It’s really a moot point. The Fact is: For whatever reason Biden stole the 2020 election and was completely illegitimate. After that i could care less
Actions speak louder than words. It’s time to jump in and get things done. It will be easier now that we have better tools and resources such as AI. Also, I have a feeling things will get easier once we overcome some of the learning curves of how things really work and how to be more surgical in our efforts.
While I have no doubt that much manuevering, conniving, skulduggery, and backstabbing power manipulation occurs by politicians, bureaucrats, corporate heads, and the monied and power elitists, bottom line, it is done to try to control the " population ". They fear the power of the masses! I think that " We the People, in order to form a more perfect union " is THE formulative foundation of Jefferson's birthing of a nation script. You're thoughtful analysis of fact vs propaganda highlights the continuous need to remain informed and grounded as a community with OUR Constitution. Thank you for your leadership - another necessary element of community strength often in short supply. Fact over fiction, common sense over b.s., reason over emotion are winning educational elements ( except for the truly brain dead ideolog's ). Also, thks for your service and no nonsense commentary and responses! ( From retired LEO, RVN Vet, Grandfather, and all around ornery old guy)
Well done, Son of Liberty!…I grok what you are laying down here with this article…as an activist at the LOCAL level and one who performs/do concrete, positive and always Local actions…for instance, I speak up and provide my 3 minute input to my Local Board of Commissioners (how our county is ruled here in Georgia) when I am fired up their egregious actions…similarly, I publish a SubStack focused on Local issues and call out the B.S. of these “politicians” as they perform behind the scenes skullduggery…
My point here is as Tip O’Neill famously pointed out many moons ago, to wit:
I’ve never bought in to the devolution theory as Jon and Derek have touted because of working those plans prior to retirement.
There likely are some elements that might have been used in some fashion to assist with the awakening. I don’t watch videos. (Unless my awakening son-in-law sends me one).
I still consider, however, how many entities tasked in these plans are corrupt and treasonous…. Local is the way to actually make the change and we have to be engaged to do so!
Thank you for taking the time to explain this! God bless.
Local is where the power lies in a real constitutional republic. But ours was sacked over 160 years ago. They then slowly eroded all laws attached to the common law (land and soil jurisdiction) and placed you into the law of the sea (admiralty law). All law since 1933 statutes UCC law. Foreign to American organic law. American organic law allowed it’s presence in the proper venues not to be brought on shore and reduce the people to abject slaves with no agency to run their own affairs. And don’t think for one minute engaging with local governance is any different. They too are all following UCC. We need to understand where we are and how we got here.
Let me be crystal clear—this is exactly the kind of defeatist, couch-bound garbage that’s helped gut our Republic from the inside.
You want to talk about being sacked? We weren’t sacked 160 years ago—we’ve been bleeding out for the last 60, and the ones holding the knife aren't just globalists or bureaucrats… it's the people too busy chasing fake flags and maritime fantasies instead of showing up to fight for their communities.
“Law of the sea”? The only thing drowning here is common sense.
The U.S. Constitution didn’t vanish. It didn’t get “replaced by admiralty law.”
It’s still right there—Article by Article, Amendment by Amendment—waiting for Americans with backbone and clarity to invoke it, enforce it, and defend it.
You say local governance is no different?
Then you’ve clearly never walked into a school board meeting with a well-documented FOIA file.
You’ve never unearthed a CPS grant buried in your county’s budget.
You’ve never cornered a judge with their own conflict-of-interest disclosures.
You’ve never made a mayor sweat when you recite his own procurement policy back to him.
You sit there spinning wheels about fictional jurisdictions while others are out here fighting in real courtrooms, under real law, for real families and real futures.
You call it UCC? I call it the Uniform Coward’s Cop-out.
Because that’s what this is: a mental retreat from responsibility.
You want to escape the system instead of engaging, infiltrating, exposing, and correcting it.
You don’t reclaim this country with fantasy legalese.
You reclaim it by showing up to county meetings, combing through budgets, taking over precincts, auditing contracts, exposing corruption, and educating the people on how to enforce the law—not run from it.
You say we need to understand where we are and how we got here?
Damn right.
We got here because too many people chose TikTok truths and Telegram prophecies over hard work and civic action.
We got here because too many patriots were lured into watching a movie when they should’ve been writing affidavits, confronting boards, and building structures.
The war is here. The system is real. The law still stands.
But so must we.
You want agency? Earn it.
You want jurisdiction? Stand in it.
You want freedom? Fight for it—locally, relentlessly, and with purpose.
Because there’s no admiralty court more powerful than an American who knows the Constitution and walks into a room with the receipts.
A couple questions for you. What jurisdiction are you standing in when in front if the administrator of the UCC “court”?
And what exactly do the stack of receipts tell that administrator? Plenty of people have tried to use the Constitution and failed in front of these administrators. Because they weren’t standing in the proper jurisdiction.
Jon well documented the Powers of Trump’s pen & COG, but his conclusions are injected with guesswork…BUT, it is plausible that Trump retained ultimate power over USMil during Biden’s 4-year public education process, as he played his part in this wacky movie…Trump flipped The World!!!
“It is plausible Trump retained ultimate power over USMil during Biden’s 4-year public education process…”
FACT:
Let’s make this painfully clear:
The President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution— and only so long as they are lawfully serving their term.
Once Trump’s term ended on January 20, 2021 at noon, the chain of command transferred to Joe Biden, as mandated by:
The 20th Amendment
The Presidential Succession Act
The Inaugural Certification Process following the Electoral College vote
And confirmed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon, and every DoD chain-of-command update made public
No “secret continuity” overrides the explicit, public, constitutionally mandated transfer of power.
If Trump had tried to secretly retain control of the U.S. military after leaving office, that wouldn’t be continuity—it would be a military coup.
Even the Military Says No
After Jan. 6, 2021:
Gen. Mark Milley (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs) stated unequivocally:
“The military obeys lawful civilian authority.”
The DoD issued transition memos, orders, and updates showing full command transferred to Biden and his team.
If Trump had tried to issue any order after Jan 20, it would have been ignored. Period.
“Trump flipped the world!!!”
FACT:
Trump didn’t flip the world.
A delusional online fantasy community created a narrative where inaction and inattention are repackaged as strategy.
While you were waiting for the “flip”…
While you were watching “the movie”…
While you were decoding Jon Herold’s PowerPoints and Telegram drops…
Real-world power structures kept moving.
Your courts kept jailing parents.
Your CPS system kept breaking families.
Your county budgets kept getting looted.
You’re not in a movie.
You’re in a war.
And while you were watching the sky, the enemy walked right through your front door.
Trump didn’t flip the world—you just didn’t see the world get flipped on you because you were too busy following Patel Patriot’s script instead of reading the actual law.
Jon Herold’s theory is fan fiction with footnotes.
Trump didn’t secretly command the military after leaving office.
There was no continuity activation, no secret succession, no Executive Committee shadow ops.
What is real?
The Constitution.
The law.
The broken systems that need fixing at the ground level.
If you care about that, step out of fantasy.
The Republic needs operators—not spectators.
This entire devolution fantasy doesn’t just distract from real battles...
It straight-up disrespects the actual strength, discipline, and fight Donald J. Trump put on display— publicly, legally, and Constitutionally. THAT MANY OF YOU MISSED!
Trump Didn’t Need a Shadow Government. He Stood in the Fire Alone.
The people pushing these theories—Patel Patriot, Derek Johnson, sovereign LARPers—they’ve tried to make it sound like Trump needed a secret military backchannel, continuity directives, and a shadow committee to stay in control.
But here’s the reality:
Trump didn’t hide behind a continuity plan.
He stood up and took every blow head-on.
He was impeached—twice—and walked through the front door of the Senate chamber both times like a damn wrecking ball.
He went into the courts, not the shadows.
He let the public see the fight, not cloak it in fake operations and pretend tribunals.
The man stood alone at a podium in front of 87 million people with every global media outlet calling him a racist, a traitor, a fascist—and he still didn’t flinch.
Where the hell were these "devolution generals" then?
The Courtroom Was His Battlefield—Not Fantasy.
While Patel Patriot was Photoshopping flowcharts and Q grifters were quoting maritime law...
Trump filed actual lawsuits.
He faced real judges.
He worked through Constitutional channels.
He absorbed the entire U.S. legal and intelligence apparatus being thrown at him by entrenched systems—and he never once called on the military to bail him out.
That’s strength.
That’s what a real leader does.
Not hide behind secret operations. Not fantasize about special ops running government in the background.
These Theories Insult Trump’s Actual Record
Trump:
Took on the intelligence community.
Took on the Clinton machine.
Took on the RNC, the DNC, the DOJ, the IC, and foreign powers while being sabotaged by his own staff.
Walked into the 2020 election knowing it was going to be a rigged disaster—but still fought it in the light of day.
And yet these people diminish it all by saying,
“Well, it’s okay. Trump had the military secretly fix everything anyway!”
That’s not support.
That’s a fantasy that erases the grit, strategy, and pure American willpower it took to endure what no president has ever endured.
Real Patriots Know:
What Trump Did Was Constitutional and Courageous
He didn’t ask for special treatment.
He didn’t demand “trust the plan.”
He didn’t sit on a livestream selling hopium.
He stood in the breach, used every legal and constitutional mechanism available to him, and never once abandoned his post.
He trusted you—the American people.
He believed that this system, broken as it is, could be challenged and reformed lawfully.
That’s why he never activated martial law.
That’s why he never tried to cancel the transition.
That’s why he’s still fighting now—in public, in the courts, and in the arena.
Bottom Line:
These devolution myths don’t honor Trump—they insult him.
They strip away everything that made him formidable:
His defiance
His resilience
His belief in American law and the Constitution
And most of all—his willingness to take the punches directly.
He never needed a secret plan.
He needed Americans to stop looking for one and start fighting for their country the same way he did: openly, boldly, and without apology.
So if you want to honor what Trump actually did?
Don’t fantasize about secret ops.
Learn your local charter. Show up in courtrooms. Read the damn contracts. Audit the funding. Expose the rats.
Fight like he did—with nothing but your convictions, your spine, and your oath to the Constitution.
"For whatever reason..."
Thats the issue... People say, "no one will ever know" or "no one really knows".... Thats bull shit. And no, I'm not late.
