2nd Amendment..."Gone With the Wind"

Slightly over 100 years ago, the major architect of the new Empire, Elihu Root, serving in the capacities under TR of both Sec.State and Sec. War, one after the other, used the so-called"Militia Act" to effectively eliminate same, replacing it with the Nat'l Guard. That the Congress was threatened with Martial Law if it did not pass the Bailout Bill, demonstrates our Rubicon was actually crossed years ago. The recent discussion and case on the 2nd Amend., arguing that you could have a gun is almost irrelevant. A bunch of individuals having guns is not what the Amend. was all about, and not the same as a"well-regulated Militia."

The Centralization is fundamental to the overall Empire scenario in everything from finance and economics to so-called Defense, with, of course, other items such as Health and Education (Schooling) thrown in for good measure. A truly bipartisan effort by the two Parties! Several years ago when I spoke to staff members of the NSC in the old Exec. Office Building next to the White House about"decentralized war," they could hardly be bothered. The NeoCon mentality was already alive and well, and little has changed since 1981. They clearly wanted Imperial Strike Forces, essential for any variant of the various"Doctrines" enunciated by every Prez since Harry T.

Now they have made it clear, they will use the troops at Home as well. Too bad we don't have a"No Standing Armies Act" like the Brits passed in 1694.
