Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

The federal government "advertises" for contracts. Contracts have no exact form... (Principles of International Commercial Contracts - UNIDROIT) Can look like a... Letter Application Notice Deficiency Report etc. CAN BE A FEDERAL FORM WITH AN OMB NUMBER ON IT. Here are some examples of federal forms: IRS forms Military Forms Passport applications Etc. See the below titles. All laws must have 1. Enacting clause - must be proper - shows by what authority. For example; christians believe that God is the father of all mankind. God when he speaks to anyone states: "It is me God,..." So that is Gods enacting clause. All emperors, dictators, presidents, congress, kings, pops, queens, etc. ALL use enacting clauses. Without an enacting clause people have no idea by what authority someone compels them to act. 2. Positive law citation - a positive law citation WITHIN the enacting clause shows there is evidence of it having been properly made into law. WITHOUT a positive law citation there is no proof that the law IS in fact a law. Therefore the various regulatory enforcement agencies use ADVERTISEMENTS to get you to fill out their forms, they can lie, cheat and steal because their morality is not regulated. They can use any means necessary to get you to fill out the forms. Once you fill out the forms it becomes a contract. Once it is a contract it is THEN a law, whereas before it was only SAID to be law, but not an actual law. uscode.house.gov/browse/&edition=prelim

@@jersmith1486 it's actually a very interesting story. It started in the soldiers overseas after they were inoculated with 8 to 10 vaccines and started Fallen ill and dying by the droves... so scared the populace who are being told it was a Spanish flu, that they also wanted the vaccines, and then the populace started dying in droves as well.... hard truth, but it is truth. And hidden for over a century by the, you guessed it, pharmaceutical companies that caused all this. They could never take the blame for the soldiers dying in droves after their vaccines, and so they made up of scary and mysterious Spanish flu , and then make more money as the populist started getting vaccinated.

All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that through the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. President Thomas Jefferson; First Inaugural Address; March 4th, 1801.

[@thomascurtin9714]

Prof. Carrington cited Jacobson v Massachusetts (171 US 11 (1905)) to support his statement regarding a balance between governmental authority exercised for the ‘greater good’ in periods of emergency and individual liberty and right to private property, in the form of his/her person and related health choices. I would’ve appreciated his acknowledgement and discussion of SCOTUS (hereafter, “Court”) decisions handed down since that time that have shifted the proverbial pendulum favorable to individual/personal liberty over government intrusions. 
Since 1905, the Court has recognized: - Any emergency infringement of personal liberty and property rights must pass the standard of ‘strict scrutiny’ in judicial review (United States v Carolene Products Co (304 US 144 (1938)), though history has shown horrible abuse can still occur (Korematsu v United States (232 US 214 (1944)). - States cannot justify restricting personal liberty solely on moral grounds (Lawrence v Texas (539 US 558, 578 (2003))). Many of the arguments supporting Covid 19 related infringements are framed upon ‘it’s the moral thing to do’. - “Involuntary confinement of an individual for any reason, is a deprivation of liberty which the State cannot accomplish without due process of law” (O’Conner v Donaldson (422 US 563, 580 (1975), also Foucha v Louisiana (504 US 71 (1992)). - Individuals have the right to make personal medical decisions, including refusal of treatment (Cruzan v Director, Missouri Dept of Health (497 US 261, 279 (1990)). Insofar as many state laws, such as those in California, convey authority to public health officers (not governors) to take extraordinary measures, such as quarantine, to mitigate the spread of contagious disease, those statutes focus those efforts toward persons/animals/locations known or reasonably believed to be infected. Involuntary confinement for disinfection requires ‘clear and convincing evidence’ that the individual actually has, or has been exposed to, a contagious disease and is likely to transmit the disease to others if not confined. Similar evidence of infectiousness regarding forced vaccination would have to be necessarily high, reliant upon validated observational data (not inflated model predictions). I expect PHOs would need to show a validated high rate of transmissibility, a probability of mortality across a significant preponderance, if not majority, of the population, and the intended vaccine had a demonstrated efficacy rate. It would be interesting to hear a broader exploration of the legal aspects of police powers versus individual liberty from Constitutional scholars. For a moment, I thought Prof. Carrington was going to answer this issue in response to a question posed by Prof. Arnn… alas, he didn’t answer the question.

Simply put, no gov in America should ban gatherings just because people *might* get sick there or later from it. I say that because: one's right to peaceably assemble may not be restricted (1st Amendment). One's right to assemble may be restricted only when it is determined that an assembly would not be peaceable or that an assembly would otherwise somehow interfere with another's right. The above fact and above principle implies one's right to assemble may not be restricted only because it is believed that an assembly might be non-peaceable--for example, because an assembly might contribute to others not voluntarily in the assembly becoming ill. The above fact, principle and deduction imply one's right to assemble may be restricted because it is known that an assembly is non-peaceable because that assembly is causing illness to others not voluntarily in the assembly becoming. #overblownavirus

Megan, that is wishful thinking and would only work in a perfect world scenario. Unfortunately we live in a diversified country where the definition of freedoms has different meaning. We have two political parties that refuse to work together in the best interest of the people. One side believes in big government control the other side believes in less government. My advice? Leave Socialist Democrat controlled States or you will sink with them. If everyone left the state, who will they have to govern? Alternative: Get active in your local and state government and rally for those candidates that have the best interest of the American people. Unfortunately, big companies with deep pockets control who governs. The people get the feeling that their votes don't matter nor do they count for anything. As we move forward in the new millennium and technology gets more complicated for us regular people election tampering will be prevalent and we are witnessing that today in this election.

Thank you, men, for this relevant discussion. It is, of course, theoretical, based on the event of a REAL pandemic that is as dangerous as the narrative claims. But it is irrelevant in light of the fact that, contrary to the constitution, there are those who claim to have an easy and safe answer in the forms of safe medication that would make the infection a non-issue that have been censored. That, to me, is the real constitutional problem.

[@debraewing2859]

So now we understand more about whether the lockdown is constitutional. So if the people stand up for their rights and disobey the "orders" they've been given by these self-appointed "rulers," how do they defend themselves when their business licenses are revoked or when they are fined? How can the average Joe afford to legally defend himself? I believe fear is holding back the people even though we know our rights are being withheld. How do we take this knowledge and put it into action to stand up for and take back our rights?

Our rulers? I thought they're public servant or leadership not rulers.

Now in Sept, do another talk about dictatorial tendencies......

People have no ability to help ourselves anymore. The Constitution is gone. Pray hard, folks.

We are subjects in a social-engineering experiment. We have not been asked for permission to have this experiment conducted on us. For the first time in history our leaders have violated our right to take life-sustaining action, to work. We are told we may only sit on the couch and our input is not welcome.

I can't believe that a year later this video only has 38k views. I like the fact that it was pointed out that there are laws made that are in direct violation of the constitution...it's true. Penalizing someone for not having health insurance was one of those. Completely unconstitutional. Yet some reason congress said "ok". What incredible nonsense. And it's still happening.

Now that my "Contract" cannot be enforced, what can be done? Article 1 Section 10 "No State shall ... pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility." My "tenant" has simply decided to stop paying rent.

Boy, i wish that first 8 minutes was used more productively.

Just seeing this and where we have seen the U.S. Capitol that has what I feel needed to happen because our State Government and Federal Government has and no longer functions with the best interests of the People.

They said if we did everything right there would only 500k deaths as well.

…so, it’s Sep 2021 now, it’s my first time watching this video and idk whether to laugh or cry. Is civil war the next video topic?

[@misc.9422]

We hear of all of these arrests and citations of small business owners, pastors, and their clergymen women. Won’t the U. S. Constitution defend them in court?

[@rockstarofredondo]

It will be used in their defense as long as they fight it.

The special SHOPPING hour did not work because of the unreasonable fear that a few elderly would buy ALL of the groceries. The FEARFUL showed up at the designated hour and crowded in like a Black Friday Sale . For proof (if available) is a youTube video about AlDi's early opening for seniors.

I want to hear there opinion after they get the virus. Will it change? Will they even be able to have an opinion? 🧐🤔 I hope so ... Because I want to hear it.

Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Sovereignty rest in the People, not in a body of government. Therefore police powers rest in the People. Constitutionally it is the responsibility of the office of the Sheriff to implement that authority given to him by the People. Not the city police, FBI, BATFE, etc. add nauseum, the Sheriff, or his appointed deputies. His highest duty is to protect our rights.

[@ernestcook4285]

Something that was said "The theory of constitutional government". This doesn't sound right to me. I don't think the founding fathers would agree with you either. I am sure they were convinced of what they put together as being the best that a group of men could agree on. Remembering also that all colony and territories who joined the Union also agreed that it was a good idea. To bad the people at the beginning couldn't put there belief aside "that one man could own the other." To bad they also couldn't have fully adapted and embraced the very concept they all voted to adopt. That All Men (people) are created equal. I believe pure truth is better than a spin on words ( Theory of constitutional government). The Government right now is like a horse that has clinched its teeth onto the bit. The effect being you have no control over it. The folly does not exist with the "Original Constitution" The folly is in those who have sworn to uphold it, protect it and abide by it and they DO NOT. Instead they plot the next ploy to plunder the people and plunder each other. End the coronavirus control now.
