The Only Thing that Matters
    The United States is not a national union, but an international association of separate sovereign nations via the individual states. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison made this clear in Resolutions-- where they also made clear that if the federal government ever gained national authority over the states, then the United States would become a permanent dictatorship, since the people did not choose it... the elite politicians would.
    This is exactly what happened during the Jackson and Lincoln administrations, where the federal government claimed national control over the states, via a coup of elite politicians claiming that the United States was a single nation, in denial of both law and history. And in following, they used their dictatorial authority in order to re-write history to impose this claim over the truth… and secured it via a military coup in which they ordered the murders of one quarter-million people who tried to defend their state's respective national sovereignty against this claim and coup… not to mention more than 360,000 others who died serving as their stooges in order to achieve it; however this regime now impudently calls this the "civil war," in clear totalitarian suppression of truth.
    In so doing, this coup established an oligarchy dominated by two political parties, under which the people were allowed the illusion of freedom and self-government by being permitted to vote; however they are constructively limited to voting for either of the two parties, via these parties holding absolute power via national authority. And as a result, policy is dictated by the commonalities between these two parties.
    Likewise, since this new national republic is an oligarchy rather than a democracy, the power is actually held by the 545 federal officials in Washington (i.e. Congress, the president and the Supreme Court)—rather than simply delegated to them: i.e. they do not represent the people, as they claim; but rather, they themselves, rather than the people, are the actual de facto ruling sovereigns; for the people cannot vote to overrule them—and therefore they do not "derive their just power by consent of the governed," as the Founders established was the basis of self-government: nor indeed can the people vote to "alter or abolish the government, and elect a new one,"
    Rather, this false history of "one national republic--" and the resultant illusion of "freedom—" which the elite political coup established as fact, maintains this oligarchy's power-base by indoctrinating the people that this is the system chosen by the people and the Founders in 1776 and following. And as the Founders foresaw as early as 1798, any suppression of these facts would be permanent, as well as the dictatorship resulting therefrom.
    Therefore there is only one issue of relevance for any libertarian effort: to liberate the truth from this suppression, and inform the people of the fact that each state is and was a popularly sovereign nation, and that the United States was an international association among such-- not a single nation of subordidinates states, ruled by elected sovereigns.
    Currently, libertarians face the dilemma, of laboring under this false belief, and insisting that it was simply run astray by some misguided and ill-intended politicians-- and that therefore this false nation can be salvaged by simply "tossing the bums out," and electing good people who respect the Constitution.
    The problem with this belief, is obvious: i.e. that it is based indeed on complete falsehood, since in reality this form of government was dictated to the people, not chosen by them-- and as the Founders foresaw, it created a dictatorship from which escape is impossible so long as it lasts.
    The only solution, therefore, is to embrace the truth of history, and expose the lies and falsehoods by which our dictated regime was established and maintained. Otherwise, libertarians will remain lost on their wild goose-chase of "restoring the nation's Constitution--" which never existed, and which ignores the written words and warnings of the Founders themselves.
    Rather, the people can never again be their own rulers, until they regain their original popular sovereignty among individual sovereign nations (i.e. the individual states)-- which is theirs by law, since the original law was never officially changed (and could not have been, since this coup derived its power under claim of the original law).
    Until the people learn the truth, they will be unable to act on it—and so will remain thus trapped by this false belief; therefore, the sole libertarian objective, should be to inform them of these facts: i.e. that their states are each sovereign nations unto themselves, not subordinate to a single nation-- and that they, not their elected officials, wield supreme power over these nations' respective policies. Until this is accomplished, all other efforts are in vain, and the people are locked on their doomed road to destruction. And therefore, this is truly the only thing that matters.
