The National Guard turned 100 years old in 2003, and Washington is seeking to usurp state’s rights and federalize the National Guard to circumvent the Constitution and to use them against the people of the United States in true tyrannical fashion. During the American Revolution, the troops were predominantly state militia. That is the origin of the National Guard, and the Second Amendment was actually intended to secure our liberty from federalism.
U.S. Senator Charles W. F. Dick, a Major General in the Ohio National Guard and the chair of the Committee on the Militia, sponsored the first attempt to control state militias. In 1903, he moved the 57th U.S. Congress to transform militias into the National Guard. Under this legislation, passed on January 21st, 1903, they transformed the organized state militias by giving them federal funding and requiring them to conform to the Regular Army organization within five years. The act also required National Guard units to attend twenty-four drills and five days of annual training per year for the first time. In return for the increased federal funding, the federal government took oversight control, subjecting them to inspection by Regular Army officers to verify they met federal standards.
However, the authority to call out the National Guard rested with the states. What is going on now is Washington’s attempt to usurp total control of the National Guard. They will use that status to send troops domestically against civilians, and the army is prohibited from acting domestically. This is a serious threat to the liberty of every citizen. The National Armed Services Committee is clearly preparing for the rise in civil unrest and wants to be able to send troops against the people. This is overthrowing the state’s rights and the separation of powers.
The Whiskey Rebellion was a violent tax protest in the United States in 1791 extending into 1794 during the presidency of George Washington. The “whiskey tax” was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. President Washington was confronted with what appeared to be an armed insurrection in western Pennsylvania. He was determined to establish the federal government as supreme authority. He understood that this would not be popular among the public. He called a cabinet meeting, and all but one said attack.
Before troops could be raised, the Militia Act of 1792 required a justice of the United States Supreme Court to certify that law enforcement was beyond the control of local authorities. On August 4, 1794, Justice James Wilson (1742-1798) was appointed to the Supreme Court. Wilson’s most noted case was Chisholm v. Georgia, which found that the Court could hear a lawsuit against a state by a citizen of another state. (The Eleventh Amendment soon superseded this decision.) Wilson delivered his opinion on August 4th, 1794, that western Pennsylvania was in a state of rebellion and allowed Washington to attack American citizens.
Washington had been concerned that such a show of force would support the deep division, reinforcing the growing Anti-Federalist fears of government overreach. Pennsylvania Governor Thomas Mifflin agreed and even wrote to Washington on August 5th, 1794, that he “feared that a military force brought into the region would also alienate the peaceable citizens of the region and cause more discontent there.”A staunch Federalist judge, John Wilkins, remarked, “The people engaged in the present opposition to government were not an inconsiderable mob.Rather, they are a respectable and powerful combination…of some of the most respectable people in the country.”
There was a fight for the supremacy of the Federalist movement against state’s rights. This is what the Democrats have adopted – federalism dictating policies to the states in this one-size-fits-all approach. Washington himself commanded insurgents in western Pennsylvania to disperse by September 1st. This is what we are witnessing with this covert move by the National Armed Services Committee. This is all about seizing federal control and effectively disarming the states directly, no different than outlawing guns individually.
I must report that unity is forming among the 55 governors of all states and territories who have joined together to urge Congress to reject Legislative Proposal 480, which would allow specified Air National Guard units to be reassigned to the U.S. Space Force without the governors’ legally required approval. This is a usurpation of power, and it will allow the Federal Government to wage war against the citizens of the United States directly. Some have argued that Biden was trying to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. This usurpation of the National Guard is to completely circumvent this act, pretending that the National Guard is not the federal military, yet they seek to seize control from the state governors and order them, like Washington in the Whiskey Rebellion, to attack Americans on the streets. HELLO – this is civil war!
ANY POLITICIAN WHO SUPPORTS THIS ACTION SHOULD BE STRIPPED OF ALL AUTHORITY AND REMOVED FROM OFFICE

DEI application practices have failed. We are equal in rights but not talent. Who would have thought that excluding the majority of the population from the workforce and universities could backfire? The University of Michigan is one of the latest schools to question this discriminatory policy.
“The University of Michigan will no longer solicit diversity statements as part of faculty hiring, promotion and tenure,” the school announced. The school claims it conducted a 2,000-person faculty survey that found staff felt pressured to express specific (i.e., WOKE) political and social views that they did not necessarily agree with, thereby eliminating diversity in thought. “Critics of diversity statements perceive them as expressions of personal identity traits, support of specific ideology or opinions on socially-relevant issues, and serve as a ‘litmus test’ of whether a faculty member’s views are politically acceptable,” the working group wrote in its report. “Thus, as currently enacted, diversity statements have the potential to limit viewpoints and reduce diversity of thought among faculty members.”
However, the university has not fully committed to removing its DEI program. Members declined to vote on whether or not they would continue funding these initiatives that have cost upward of $250 million since 2016. “There are no plans to make any cuts to these programs,” board member Michael Behm said. Basically, they are aware that these programs stifle innovation and thought among faculty and students, but they’re not willing to let go of the control.
The real purpose of this Diversity Equality Inclusion global marketing plan has NOTHING to do with human rights. I think the racist label has greatly died down, for in our own company, we have every religion and race working together. Even this LGBQT movement disrespects others and demands we change our pronouns and abandon any core religious beliefs that do not permit same-sex relations.
Communism failed in part because it prevented independent thought and punished those who thought outside the box. Innovation was no longer possible. Some of the greatest minds like Kondratieff were killed by their government for proposing new ideas that went against the status-quo put forth by the establishment. The Biden Administration has put forth this WOKE ideology under the guidelines of globalist entities like the World Economic Forum and Open Foundation Societies who have championed CEI woke credit scores for the private sector.
Again, my company has always been composed of the most qualified employees. We have staff across the world from all walks of life. They were hired due to their TALENT. I could not imagine finding an excellent applicant who is qualified for the job and saying, “Oh, sorry, we have too many straight white men here already.” But again, we obviously would never need to report a CEI score and bend a knee to any globalist entity attempting to stifle the private sector.
What made the United States the great melting pot and the largest economy in the world was DISCRIMINATION. It was fair, for whoever was the last off the boat was discriminated against until they learned English to get a job. In other words, ASSIMILATION was necessary for immigrants who then also identified as AMERICAN.
DEI operates on exclusivity and not inclusivity, as it champions the notion of entitlement for a select few and is simply unethical. It has become a political weapon that the left will not allow to be questioned. If we want society to advance, we must accept that those who work hard and are born with natural talent and intelligence will excel. Identity politics use tools like DEI initiatives to divide the people when our neighbor is not the enemy.
