The American people have suffered a coup d’etat, but they are hesitant to acknowledge it. The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy. Americans are ruled by usurpers who claim that the executive branch is above the law and that the US Constitution is a mere “scrap of paper.”
An unconstitutional government is an illegitimate government. The oath of allegiance requires defense of the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” As the Founding Fathers made clear, the main enemy of the Constitution is the government itself. Power does not like to be bound and tied down and constantly works to free itself from constraints.
The basis of the regime in Washington is nothing but usurped power. The Obama Regime, like the Bush/Cheney Regime, has no legitimacy. Americans are oppressed by an illegitimate government ruling, not by law and the Constitution, but by lies and naked force. Those in government see the US Constitution as a “chain that binds our hands.”
The South African apartheid regime was more legitimate than the regime in Washington. The apartheid Israeli regime in Palestine is more legitimate. The Taliban are more legitimate. Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were more legitimate.
The only constitutional protection that the Bush/Obama regime has left standing is the Second Amendment, a meaningless amendment considering the disparity in arms between Washington and what is permitted to the citizenry. No citizen standing with a rifle can protect himself and his family from one of the Department of Homeland Security’s 2,700 tanks, or from a drone, or from a heavily armed SWAT force in body armor.
Like serfs in the dark ages, American citizens can be picked up on the authority of some unknown person in the executive branch and thrown in a dungeon, subject to torture, without any evidence ever being presented to a court or any information to the person’s relatives of his/her whereabouts. Or they can be placed on a list without explanation that curtails their right to travel by air. Every communication of every American, except face-to-face conversation in non-bugged environments, is intercepted and recorded by the National Stasi Agency from which phrases can be strung together to produce a “domestic extremist.”
If throwing an American citizen in a dungeon is too much trouble, the citizen can simply be blown up with a hellfire missile launched from a drone. No explanation is necessary.
For the Obama tyrant, the exterminated human being was just a name on a list.
The president of the united states has declared that he possesses these constitutionally forbidden rights, and his regime has used them to oppress and murder US citizens. The president’s claim that his will is higher than law and the Constitution is public knowledge. Yet, there is no demand for the usurper’s impeachment. Congress is supine. The serfs are obedient.
The people who helped transform a democratically accountable president into a Caesar include John Yoo, who was rewarded for his treason by being accepted as a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt school of law. Yoo’s colleague in treason, Jay Scott Bybee was rewarded by being appointed a federal judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We now have a Berkeley law professor teaching, and a federal circuit judge ruling, that the executive branch is above the law.
The executive branch coup against America has succeeded. The question is: will it stand? Today, the executive branch consists of liars, criminals, and traitors. . . . "

The saddest line in the entire article: The president’s claim that his will is higher than law and the Constitution is public knowledge. Yet, there is no demand for the usurper’s impeachment. Congress is supine. The serfs are obedient.
Becoming "disappeared" at some point in the future isn't my darkest worry.
My darkest worry is that we might already have a secretive court that can imprison me and then hide all of the evidence, or the government could manufacture enough evidence so that those closest to me would never doubt my guilt and know to fight on my behalf.
I believe our government is evil enough to do ANYTHING against the citizen.
Our power against it is an illusion.

Where did the Regime usurp power? They were duly elected. IRS scandal: Legal. NSA Spying: Legal. Zerocare: Constitutional.
Like it or not, this is the govt' we have because of the elected officials we have. Things were far worse in the 30's when FDR was running things. Look into it.
I also discredit anyone who is an open Jew hater and thinks 911 was an inside job. This asshole still thinks there were bombs placed in the Twin Towers before the planes hit.

I haven't studied anything about this guy so you know more about him, I'm sure. But...Obama is constantly usurping power and Congress is letting him get away with it. Giving employee's another year with Obamacare when it's already a written law, appointing cabinet positions when Congress was not in recess, saying his justice department would not enforce the DOMA even though it was the law...and on and on.... I call that a usurp of power...

Nope. Zero hasn't done that. He was legally elected. As for the issues you cite, that isn't a usurpation. That is just plain old illegalities allowed to continue because there is no opposition party.

First you are correct, just because officials were elected does not mean they can't usurp power.
For decades, slowly and steadily our freedoms have been usurped by the executive and judiciary at the federal level aided by the fourth branch of government, an ever expanding bureaucracy that has become institutionalized. Congress, both most dems and repubs, have either actively or passively aided and abetted these actions.
Both sides of the aisle have aided and abetted Jihadi terrorists, via political correctness, foreign aid, immigration policy. Look at the nonsense the Fort Hood terrorist has gotten away with.
Roberts describes an effective coup d'etat in very harsh terms, sparing no one. That can be difficult to digest.

Sorry to ruin your life, Frank, but I agree with everything you wrote.
Things have, indeed, been worse at various times in the past.
But our Founders devised a divinely inspired, self-correcting system.
By properly utilizing the framework they provided, we can and will fix whatever's wrong.
{Assuming, of course, that we render all power and allegiance unto Karl Rove.}

That in and of itself is a major assumption which I am addressing separately from the issue of taking power by force.
Unfortunately our electoral process has become corrupted. The progressives and statists resist any attempt to ensure that only citizens of the US vote in our elections. Electronic voting machines can be hacked by college students and any attempt to secure them is resisted. An increasing number of voting districts and the DoD have handed over the counting and verifying the results of our elections to Scytl, a company in Spain run by citizens of the world who oppose any transparency or audit trail.

Thanks for that post algernon. I was thinking exactly this myself. I am not entirely convinced Obama's election in '08 or '12 was legal. Voter fraud was prosecuted here in Indiana and the perpetrators were found guilty. Unfortunately the results of that '08 election went unchanged even though fraud was prosecuted and the perpetrators convicted and sent to prison. And I want to point out here that Indiana going Obama in '08 was literally less than a half of a percent. It was so close according to the SOS office that it was literally less than 1,000 votes that determined Obama gaining Indiana's electoral college votes. That 1,000 votes was well within the range of the fraud that was committed here. Now you may say that Indy's mere 15 or so (not sure the exact number) EC votes wouldn't have changed the outcome, blah blah, but -
How many other states did fraud occur in that went 'unchallenged' in the courts? Florida? Ohio? Pennsylvania? Until we tackle and fix the corruption that is ongoing in our election system I'm not entirely convinced that either one of Obama's 'victories' were legal at all. If I'm right - then yeah - he's a usurper and there was a coup.
We certainly can't trust a system where non-citizens are voting, and voters are voting more than once. Instead of fixing this problem, we are continuing to see Voter ID being challenged in the courts.
And I can't help but recall that Saddam Hussein always said he was 'fairly elected' and legally elected and so forth and we know that was far from the truth there as well. Ditto with Adolph Hitler. And when you consider foreign nations getting involved in our elections - yeah - its not in fringeville to think it may well have been a coup.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
