Article V – Dynamic Federalism

This government influence, this outright control of government/media/culture to warp young minds isn’t new. Imagine the dynamic, revolutionary effect of suddenly pulling back the blinders that shade public eyes and minds; it would be as threatening to despotic government today as in any time in history. In the past, breaking the government/media education/culture monopoly made for out of proportion revolutionary outcomes.

Freedom’s future depends on the remaining non-Leftist dominated institutions, the Electoral College and a Article V COS. Having nearly perfected the art of vote fraud in which Hillary did indeed garner more nationwide votes than President Trump, a temporary federal institution, the Electoral College, stood in her way. Similarly, the only other federal institution, an Article V COS, stands at the ready as the last remaining tool to break the Left’s death grip on the rest of government.
