And meanwhile – most important of all – what was supposed to be a temporary suspension of constitutional government became a “new normal”; the law, or what had always been the law, turned out to be as obsolete as the idea of dealing with an infectious disease by giving medical treatment to the genuinely sick.
In the world of the “new normal,” anyone who mentioned “civil rights” was hustled off social media and into First Amendment limbo. Democracy was mocked as a reactionary’s pipe dream – when it was mentioned at all.
That’s the record, in brief, of the past two years. And if we have learned anything from this cavalcade of deceit, it is, or should be, that the COVID coup is fundamentally not about medicine or science. It is not about inflated “case” rates or jiggered statistics or fake news or the pseudo-studies circulated by propaganda outfits like the World Health Organization or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Yes, all those things have figured in the derangement of constitutional democracy that has characterized the COVID coup. But at bottom it’s not about any of them.
The real nature of the campaign is at once simpler and far more dangerous. What we’re experiencing is an attack on the very foundation of ordered liberty, an assault that is already in the process of submerging democracies beneath what the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has called a “permanent ‘state of exception.’”
To put it bluntly: our ruling classes, in one country after another, have effectively switched off their nations’ constitutions and the whole set of civil liberties that are supposed to accompany them – not by formally abolishing them, mind you, but by adopting the extra-legal mechanisms of a “state of emergency” in place of normal constitutional procedures, with the result that the ordinary rules of democracy and the rights of individuals have, for most practical purposes, been indefinitely suspended.
The supranational, globally-hegemonic, post-ideological system of power that runs our world — whatever you need to call it — has answers to those questions. It has a story. It is a story about a beneficent global empire governed by authoritative scientific experts who are trying to save the world from Whatever and protect everyone from “disinformation” and “harmful” speech, ideas, and so on. Like every good story, it has an antagonist. Us. We are the official enemy. Right, Left, libertarian, anarchist, Islamic fundamentalist, Christian fundamentalist … it does not make one iota of difference. There is only the Empire, and those who oppose it. The Empire does not give a shit why. It is conducting a global “Clear-and-Hold” operation, wiping out internal resistance and establishing ideological uniformity. It could not care less what you think you believe in. All it wants is mindless obedience and rote repetition of its propaganda. That’s how totalitarianism works.
I think it's important to have a credible chain of transmission for legitimate governing authority across time. If and when the current US federal government collapses due to loss of constitutional legitimacy and public trust, governing authority can revert to lower levels: state and county lawmakers, judges, prosecutors and executives.
To the extent those state and county leaders understand what's happening, retain public trust by demonstrating strong, trustworthy leadership, and position themselves to stabilize their own political jurisdictions during the collapse, they will also be prepared to 1) eventually reconstitute a legitimate federal government that conforms to the US Constitution, natural law and divine law and 2) organize public criminal trials for the traitors who have orchestrated the covert, public-health-predicated, treason and sedition campaign known as "Covid-19" since January 2020.
Many individuals and organizations have been working throughout the Covid-19 constitutional crisis1 to educate county and state legislators, law enforcement officers, judges and governors about their constitutional authority to step in and protect life, liberty and property when federal government officials (Congress, President, federal judges, cabinet secretaries) are demonstrably unable or unwilling to do so.
WeThePeople50 is one of those organizations.

There are a lot of useful ways for good men and women to engage in the war to restore Constitutional republican government on American soil, and I’ve written and talked about those approaches a lot.
