A reading and commentary on Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr’s By Tyranny Out of Necessity: The Bastardy of Martial Law, Chapter 4, Part 2.

Embrace the paradox and see through false appearances. Learn to discern deception and false hope while remaining hopeful of a better life and way of being. The Way is in training, and the path of personal discipline leads to enduring wealth, as well as commonwealth by first securing the blessings of liberty in a free state for yourself and posterity.

The arrogance of rogue public officials see We The People as tax cattle to be fleeced. Unconstitutional bureaucracies have plans for imposing martial governance in territory they already occupy.

What can We The People do in such a scenario?

What do the foundational charter documents say about constitutional order under a supreme law that is, contrary to democracy, specifically limited to things of a public nature?

How can We The People assert local self-governance amid rampant abuse by these arrogant occupiers?

The solution comes down to individual daily disciplines.

First, discipline your mind:

What narratives will the political caste employ to impose “martial governance” upon We The People?

How do these justifications square with legitimate legal principles and constitutional order?

How will rogue public officers label “the good people” that rightfully resist official corruption and criminality?

Can you imagine citizens being treated like belligerents under international laws of war with complete disregard for civil rights?

Do you see signs of a police-state being formed now?

What remedies could free people resort to in the face of tyranny?

What are you ready to do to reassert constitutional governance and secure the blessings of liberty?

Remember, We The People are “the government” and not just those holding public office. We The People have the right and duty to alter or abolish any government that is destructive of the ends for which it was formed. Martial governance under international laws of war is incompatible with the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The two cannot coexist.

Therefore, those seeking to impose “martial governance” are doing so not as government officials exercising constitutional delegated authority, but as criminals and tyrants.

Yet there is a constitutional remedy for reasserting constitutional order in the face of tyranny if only We The People would exercise the necessary disciplines.

Closing out the reading and commentary on Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr’s By Tyranny Out of Necessity: The Bastardy of Martial Law, Chapter 3.

Liberty requires discipline, both individually and communally. It’s not enough to speak of wanting an ideal, you have to do the work to achieve it. Yet there are always excuses and distractions to be overcome, and self-delusion is one of the greatest obstacles to effective action. Securing a Free State is a rather straightforward matter of following clearly spelled out constitutional provisions for money and security and justice functions.

The problem is with follow through. It requires an organized, armed, and disciplined population actively checking and arresting the corrupt ambitions of rogue public officials that abuse the political power entrusted to them. All of these problems flow from widespread apathy to the civic responsibility of executing the law, repelling invasions, and suppressing insurrections.

Self-government requires engagement, and personal discipline, just like a free market in arms, is the necessary pre-condition to enjoying the fruits of liberty. Actively seeking discomfort in mind, body, and spirit is part of the training. Being clear on a goal and noticing the gap from where you are to where you want to be can help motivate, so long as you don’t look away or seek distractions.

Personal discipline is the necessary ingredient in your own martial training, success in every area of life, as well as maintaining constitutional order among a federation of republics.

There is a way to right the ship of government. The Way is in training. It starts with your daily choices.
