What is our duty as Americans? What is our (natural) right? Concerning our natural rights, what are we enslaved to do concerning tyranny and its threat towards the people?

===================================================
===================================================

Concerning tyranny, our Founders made the following affirmation within the Declaration of Independence:


But then a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security ~ Declaration of Independence


The phrase, "But then a long train of abuses and usurpations, . . . " implies a willful and deliberate manufacturing of consent of the people -- to stumble them up so to speak.  The phrase "pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design . . . " implies a narrowing towards a clear agenda.  Finally, the phrase "to reduce them under absolute Despotism, . . ." implies a return to tyranny under the rule of a king vested with absolute power.    

Furthermore, the words, "it is their right, . . ." implies the kind of natural right spoken about by John Locke which is quite different from legal (civil) rights.  This inborn natural right needn't be granted or legislated and, so, it cannot be repealed.  Such a right reduces on the physical level to the extent of the soul.  According to this understanding of natural rights, we the people are enslaved "to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."  Our Founders then expound on this point further by the very next affirmation of "it is their (our) duty, . . .."  This type of duty our Founders speak of takes precedence over the value of our own lives.  

Doing our duty as Americans means fighting against the false dichotomies (lies), the enemy that is now poisoning our nation.  Beyond that, we also need to establish what is the one true dichotomy.  Metaphysically, once we understand reality as an eternal conflict which has been on going between a sovereign king and a worthless wretch, then we will see the false dichotomies for the nonsense they truly are and, from that time on, avoid all discussions of them.   

Again, to name just a few, these false dichotomies, or political conflicts, are male against female, black against white, rich against poor, and so on endlessly.  In the political spectrum presented above, the people stand at the moderate middle between these two political extremes.  The two inverse character symbols of a wretch and a king, or perverses if you will, should be considered equal as they were once declared to be so in the Declaration of Independence by our Founders.  While the King may appear greater than the wretch, she is more distracted within.  In the end, as our Founders affirmed:


all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness ~ Declaration of Independence


Ultimately, the philosophical foundation of our Founding Fathers and their age of Enlightenment reached all the way back to Socrates.  In Plato's dialogue entitled Meno, Socrates dared to believe that the supposed inferior minds of slaves could learn to improve their livelihoods if they were only served by a different type of teacher.  To accentuate his point, he reasoned, as only he knew how to do, that if, as the Greeks believed, every soul within human beings were part of a single perfect Soul.  If the latter of these two the perfect Soul is all-knowing, then why is each soul born so different?  Why would one soul grow up to sit as a king on a throne while another is born to live wretched on the street?  To answer this question, he developed a theory called "recollection."   As souls during their birthing process would suffer different amounts of trauma; so, each is going to forget different amounts of knowledge.

To help souls recollect the lost knowledge that they had lost at birth, Socrates likened himself as a serving mid-wife philosopher to the poor (His mother worked as a mid-wife helping poor women give birth).        

The very same poison Socrates once faced off against is once again trying to reestablish itself as tyranny.  Another poison destroying our nation today is change for the sake of change.  We must understand this nonsense as the worst kind of chaos.  After all, the greatest of benefits are those that are derived from the most precious of alterations.  As Americans, the lightening in a bottle we have today is the inheritance that was passed down to us both from the age of Enlightenment and from our Founding Fathers.

**Acting Supreme Court Justice   

*What a "widget" is to the hypothetical manufacturing and marketing of a product, so is the character "Fd. Uncle Emanuel Watkins" being utilized hypothetically here.  Indeed, Abraham Lincoln once said, he is a character developed of, by, and for the people.  He was created with the express purpose for advancing the people's Civil Purpose.  I am now playing the part of this character in order to keep the government -- the necessary tyranny our Founders established to be the lessor part of a more perfect Union -- from taking up council against and usurping the people.  The title Fd. which is at the beginning of his name literally means "Founder."  This title of Founder would be worn by any person skilled in a position of leadership other than those skilled as an attorney including such positions as law making, lawyering, and / or legal education.

**During this corrupt age of judicial corruption, Fd. Uncle Emanuel Watkins has stepped in temporarily to act as the most supreme of all courts.
