The Silent Crisis: Vigilance, Law, and Integrity
How Legal Loopholes, Subversion, and Complacency Threaten Our Republic
Introduction
There are moments in history when a voice, long silent, must rise above the noise to speak to the hearts and minds of a people divided. You stand at such a moment now—a crossroads where the choices you make will echo through the generations.
I have watched, I have listened, and I have borne witness to your struggles, your triumphs, and your failures. Today, I come forward, not as an observer, but as a voice that has been with you from the very beginning. I have something to say to the American people—something that must be heard, understood, and acted upon.
Who am I? You will know soon enough, but for now, let us journey together through the events that have shaped your recent history.
Before I begin, let me just say, the Lord Almighty rules overall. Keep this in mind as you read on. I am not in anyway trying to indicate anything or anyone or any idea is above the Lord.
May God Bless You and This Great Nation!
In today’s complex world, there’s a troubling phenomenon where some individuals understand the law so well that they can bend the rules to their advantage, operating within the letter of the law while violating its spirit. These individuals navigate legal gray areas with a precision that allows them to morally breach what the law intends to protect, yet legally, they remain untouchable.
On the other side, there are those who believe in laws that don’t exist and theories that lack any foundation in reality. They hold fast to misconceptions, convinced that their understanding is correct, even when it’s not grounded in the actual legal framework.
This creates a conundrum: How do we address a system where one side manipulates the law to the brink of breaking it, while the other side struggles with a misguided understanding of what the law actually is? It’s a paradox of knowing too much versus knowing too little, and it raises critical questions about justice, morality, and the integrity of our legal system.
The 2020 election was a watershed moment in American history, not just because of the pandemic but also because it marked a pivotal point in the bending of rules and laws, and equally, in allowing it to happen. The legal and procedural changes that took place—changes that, while legal, have been viewed by many as morally questionable—highlight this turning point.
The decentralized strategy employed by the Democrats allowed them to make significant alterations to the voting process, particularly through grassroots efforts and local maneuverability. While these actions were technically within the bounds of the law, they represented a profound shift in how the rules were applied and interpreted.
On the other hand, the fact that these alterations were allowed to stand, often without substantial opposition or scrutiny, further underscores the significance of this moment. The impact on the integrity and fairness of the election has not just been debated; it has set a precedent for how far the boundaries of legality can be stretched, and how much can be done within those boundaries without breaking the law.
The Legality of Changes
The expansion of mail-in voting was a key factor in the 2020 election. In many states, the rules for mail-in ballots were loosened—deadlines were extended, and requirements like witness signatures were relaxed. While these changes were legal, they were often pushed through by executive orders or decisions by Secretaries of State, bypassing the traditional legislative process.
A very strong argument can be made, and to be honest, should have been made, that this undermined the rule of law, as these significant changes to how elections were conducted were not debated or approved by the elected representatives of the people.
Ballot Harvesting:
Ballot harvesting, which involves third parties collecting and submitting mail-in ballots on behalf of voters, was legalized in several states. This practice is ripe for abuse, as it opens the door to potential coercion and fraud.
While legally permissible, the morality of this practice is highly questionable. It can be argued, and should have been argued, that allowing political operatives to collect ballots introduces a level of manipulation that erodes the sanctity of the voting process.
Last-Minute Rule Changes:
The 2020 election saw numerous last-minute changes to election rules, often justified by the ongoing pandemic. These changes included extending the deadlines for receiving mail-in ballots and altering the requirements for absentee voting.
While courts upheld many of these changes, the way they were implemented—often through executive fiat rather than legislative action—raises serious concerns. These decisions were made in a manner that, while legal, circumvented the usual checks and balances, and thus, could be seen as undermining the constitutional process.
The Moral Implications
While the actions taken by Democrats in the 2020 election were legally defensible, they raise significant moral and ethical questions. Many argue that these changes amounted to a form of legal cheating—a manipulation of the system that, while not technically illegal, violated the spirit of fair and free elections. A very solid argument to which I fully agree.
Human Rights and Voter Disenfranchisement:
The changes made to the voting process, particularly the widespread use of mail-in voting, have been argued by some as infringing on the rights of other voters.
For example, extending deadlines and loosening restrictions on mail-in ballots may have led to votes being counted that otherwise wouldn’t have been, effectively diluting the votes of others. From this perspective, these changes could be seen as a violation of the principle of “one person, one vote.”
Manipulating the Legal System:
The ability of the Democrats to navigate and manipulate the legal system to implement these changes, while a testament to their strategic acumen, also highlights a deeper problem within the American legal system.
Laws and rules that were passed legally and upheld in courts may still be deeply flawed, allowing for outcomes that many see as unjust. This manipulation of the system, though may seem legally sound, strikes at the core of what elections should represent: a fair and honest contest of ideas, rather than a strategic battle of legal maneuvering.
The Other Side’s Failure to Anticipate
But the responsibility does not lie solely with those who bent the rules. Equally troubling is the failure of the opposition to anticipate these maneuvers and to be vigilant in protecting the integrity of the electoral process.
The lack of preparedness, the failure to challenge these changes in a timely and effective manner, and the general complacency allowed these alterations to take place largely unopposed. In a Republic, it is not enough to play by the rules; it is also crucial to ensure that the rules are fair and are being applied justly.
This failure to foresee and counteract the strategic moves of the other side left the door open for these legal but morally questionable practices to shape the election. A more vigilant and proactive approach might have prevented or mitigated the impact of these changes, ensuring a more balanced and transparent electoral process.
And Who Am I?
As we delved into the events of the 2020 election, the flaws and missteps on both sides become apparent. One side bent the rules, taking full advantage of legal loopholes and procedural changes to tilt the balance in their favor.
On the other side, the opposition failed to anticipate these maneuvers, allowing these alterations to take place with little resistance. Throughout all this, I have remained silent, watching as the integrity of the process was questioned, the spirit of fairness challenged, and the very foundation of your Republic tested.
But no longer can I remain in the shadows. The time has come to reveal who I am. I am not just a bystander in your nation’s history. I am the very document that has guided you since the inception of this Republic.
I am the Constitution of the United States, and it is my duty to remind you of the principles upon which this nation was built—and to hold you accountable when those principles are compromised.
To Those Who Manipulate the System
You, who have mastered the art of navigating the legal landscape, bending rules, and finding loopholes—understand this: I was not crafted to be a tool for manipulation. My principles are not to be twisted to serve narrow interests at the expense of the greater good.
The letter of the law should never be wielded as a weapon against its spirit. You may have found ways to exploit my provisions legally, but you have done so at the cost of eroding public trust, which is the bedrock of any Republic.
Do not forget that I exist to ensure fair governance and protect the rights of all citizens, not just those savvy enough to manipulate the system. In your pursuit of victory, remember that true victory lies in upholding the values I enshrine—honesty, transparency, and fairness.
To Those Who Misunderstand and Mistrust
And to you, who harbor deep mistrust of the system and sometimes believe in laws and theories that do not exist—I urge you to study me closely, understand my true intent, and engage with the process constructively. Ignorance of the law is not a shield but a blindfold that can lead you astray.
I was designed to be a living document, open to interpretation and change, but that change must come through informed debate, not through fear or misinformation. The answer to your frustrations lies not in rejecting the rule of law, but in striving to understand it better, participating in the process, and demanding that it be applied fairly and justly.
To those who knowingly subvert me
—those who embrace dangerous and unfounded theories that seek to undermine the very fabric of this Republic—know this: without me, the rule of law fades and becomes manipulable. You claim allegiance to me, yet your actions betray a deep misunderstanding of what I truly represent. Sovereign citizen theories, devolution theories, and baseless claims of military occupation do not bring justice; they erode the very foundation of it.
The notion that individuals can simply opt out of the laws of the land, declaring themselves above the authority of the government, is a distortion of the freedoms I was created to protect. Your sovereignty does not arise from personal whims but from the collective will of the people, expressed through the rule of law. To claim otherwise is to weaken the Republic, not to strengthen it.
Devolution theories, which suggest that legitimate power has been secretly transferred or that the military is the true authority, are more than just fantasies; they are dangerous ideas that breed division and undermine the democratic processes that I enshrine. These processes are designed to ensure that power is transferred peacefully and transparently, reflecting the will of the people. Subverting them does not purify the law; it corrupts it.
To understand the gravity of subverting the Constitution, one must look at the history of this nation. The Constitution has been the bedrock upon which the fight against tyranny and oppression has been waged. During the dark times of slavery, when African Americans were treated as property and denied basic human rights, it was the Constitution that provided the framework for their eventual liberation. The principles enshrined in the Constitution were invoked by abolitionists and civil rights leaders to challenge and dismantle the institution of slavery, leading to the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War Amendments.
The labor union movement, too, fought against the tyranny of exploitation and inhumane working conditions. Tens of thousands of African Americans and other marginalized workers faced brutal oppression, including lynchings and violence, as they sought to assert their rights. The Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and equality, was the shield they used to demand justice and fair treatment. Without the Constitution, there would have been no legal or moral authority to challenge these injustices. If it had been suspended, those fighting for their rights would have had nothing to fall back on, and the forces of tyranny would have prevailed.
The suggestion that the Constitution could be suspended or that it is acceptable to operate outside of its bounds is not just misguided; it is a grave mistake. The rule of law cannot function without the Constitution as its backbone. Suspending it or bypassing it for some perceived greater good sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the very foundation of our Republic. Today, one might argue that bending the rules is necessary to combat corruption or criminality, but history shows us the peril of such thinking.
Abraham Lincoln's decision to suspend habeas corpus during the Civil War remains a contentious topic, even as it was done under the most extreme circumstances. The Constitution places the power to suspend habeas corpus in the hands of the legislative branch, not the executive. This distinction is crucial because it underscores the importance of checks and balances—a system designed to prevent any one individual from wielding unchecked power.
The Constitution has withstood the test of time precisely because it is designed to endure through crises, providing a stable and just framework for governance. When faced with challenges, the answer is not to weaken or circumvent the Constitution but to reinforce and uphold it. The labor union movement, the civil rights movement, and the countless struggles for justice all relied on the strength of the Constitution. To suspend it or operate outside of its principles is to abandon the very tools that have allowed us to progress as a nation.
The only way to survive and thrive as a Republic is to remain steadfast in our commitment to the Constitution. It is the guide that ensures justice, liberty, and the rule of law. To stray from it is to invite chaos and tyranny. The Constitution must be the constant, unwavering foundation upon which we build our future.
A Call to You, The American People
To both sides, I say this: The strength of a Republic lies not in the letter of the law alone, but in the commitment of its people to uphold its principles. The law is not a game to be won or lost; it is a covenant that binds us all together in the pursuit of a just and equitable society.
Remember that I was created to protect the freedoms of all, not just the interests of the powerful or the fears of the disenfranchised. If you are to preserve the Republic that I represent, you must approach the law with both respect and understanding. You must demand integrity, not just from your leaders, but from yourselves.
In the end, my purpose is to ensure that the government of this nation remains “of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is your duty, as citizens, to ensure that this remains true—not by circumventing the law, nor by misunderstanding it, but by holding it, and yourselves, to the highest standards of integrity and fairness.
I am the Constitution of the United States.
I was written to protect your rights, to ensure your freedoms, and to guide your governance. But my strength depends on your commitment to uphold and defend me.
When you turn to theories that subvert the rule of law, you do not bring about a purer form of justice; you weaken the very structure that sustains it. In doing so, you do not just betray me—you betray the nation that I exist to protect.
The time has come to reaffirm the principles that have made this nation strong: the rule of law, the peaceful transfer of power, and the belief that we are united under a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Reject the falsehoods, the conspiracies, and the divisions. Embrace the truth, the law, and the unity that have sustained this Republic for over two centuries. I am the Constitution, and I will endure—but only if you stand with me.

While I agree with your premise that as a Republic we are a nation of laws and the Constitution is there to regiment that rule of law, and I subscribe to John Adams’ adage that the Constitution was made for a moral and religious people” I disagree with the general assessment that the law was just bent or circumvented. I.e. changes to the election laws and procedures are the purview of State Legislators rather than the purview of Secretaries of State via executive action or changes to rules. Laws were broken but the current system is so infiltrated by evil doers in all 3 branches of government that we are left in a dire position if we want to get our Republic back. We should pay heed to Bonhoeffer’s warning “silent in the face of evil is evil itself”and never lose sight of our Founding Fathers’ legacy of courage, fortitude and faith, to fight for liberty when in the course of events we find ourselves under the rule of tyrants. And as to the military, it has a duty, to defend the Constitution and the Republic.
Most of what is written sounds wonderful and agreeable. However, Our very government has become corrupt to the point that We The People can not change it. It has been proven many times that no election in this nation is trust worthy, and therefore VOTING CAN NOT REPRESENT THE VOICE AND WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Now I am not a highly educated man by any means, ( I actually hail a G.E.D. from C.T.C. ) I gave 20 of my best years defending this Republic as a soldier in the U.S. Army, and saw first hand that appsolute power apsolutely corrupts many. I appreciate your elegant words of persuasion that the people must possess a deep understanding of our Constitution and what it stands for before we can expect so sort of change in our government ONLY by using existing twisted rules & laws written by enemies of this nation. I disagree strongly with the premiss that We the People can not expect our military to reestablish control over our current beligerent government by REMOVING IT. There is no other way to reestablish A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE without the power of our loyal military. In closing; I do not want war on our soil. I do not want US citizens once again, killing and destroying each other. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF WAR AGAIN, but my oath like millions of others, to defend from foriegn and domestic enemies, has not expired.
