A Special Forces Medic treats tuberculous patients in Southeast Asia


But it is said that the laws of the Union are to be the supreme law of the land. But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme? It is evident they would amount to nothing. A LAW, by the very meaning of the term, includes supremacy. It is a rule which those to whom it is prescribed are bound to observe. This results from every political association. If individuals enter into a state of society, the laws of that society must be the supreme regulator of their conduct. If a number of political societies enter into a larger political society, the laws which the latter may enact, pursuant to the powers entrusted to it by its constitution, must necessarily be supreme over those societies, and the individuals of whom they are composed. It would otherwise be a mere treaty, dependent on the good faith of the parties, and not a government, which is only another word for POLITCAL POWER AND SUPREMACY. But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society which are not pursuant to it constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such. Hence we perceive that the clause which declares the supremacy of the law of the Union, like the one we have just before considered, only declares a truth, which flow immediately and necessarily from the institution of a federal government. It will not, I presume, have escaped observation, that it expressly confines this supremacy to laws made pursuant to the Constitution; which I mention merely as an instance of caution in the convention; since that limitation would have been to be understood, though it had not been expressed. Publius, Article 13, Federalist Papers

USURPATION

The Federal and States Governments are the largest employers in the U.S. Pelosi has designated 111 new bureaucratic departments to run healthcare and its spinoffs. Each is estimated to require upwards of 6000 employees across the nation. That adds 666,000 new employees to the Federal Government’s roles. It will, as well, force the addition of more State’s employees.

Apart from that, a great many people are without jobs. America’s economic basis will now become incumbent on 30 percent of the rest of the nation to provide tax dollars through productive work to support the remaining 70 percent. That 30 percent will, of course, slowly begin to deteriorate. It is said that this cost will be transferred to our children and grandchildren. We know better. Our children will not be able to pay.

America will be comprised of three classes: the super rich, the impoverished, and the government. Since the government will not have the funds to continue operating, they will begin to nationalize the corporations. The super rich will relocate to escape this action and to remain alive. Some will find refuge amidst the American socialist oligarchy. The march toward total socialism will escalate.

America will no longer be the world’s superpower or the last great hope for the oppressed. The Constitution will be manipulated, overridden, and finally become mere dust in the archives of some forgotten, underground cave.

Greece will fall, once again, into ruin. The Israelis will be forced to bomb Iran, Socialist America will partner with Venezuela, Mexico will fail as a nation, Germany will once again go to war with the EU in an effort to protect their geographical vulnerability. The currency exchange will be foiled by China who will enslave us all. Russia and China will side with Iran to save their oil interests and eventually go to war over it. The tyrants in North Korea will bomb California and Alaska because they can. The Islamic fundamentalists will take advantage of world chaos.

Illegal immigrants will be provided with amnesty. Those 12 million will bring their families to the US, raising their numbers to 30 million. The ratio of the illiterate and uneducated will skyrocket. This will slowly ebb as they realize they can no longer plunder the wealth of a nation also in economic collapse, all while Obama throws worthless money at those who deserve it least.

The socialists and liberal progressives will wonder what happened. The super rich entertainers will lose their jobs and their fortunes, something that is already becoming apparent. The ridiculously overpaid athletes will scream as their fans realize food and shelter are more important than watching tattooed men kick or throw air entrained leather around.

In the midst of all this, the Tea Party movement will transform themselves into an underground organization planning revolution or giving up in defeat.

Governments will nationalize the food industry. America, the great consumer, will be forced from technology to agriculture to feed themselves.

Are these predictions as good as anyone else’s? If one reads STRATFOR and the international intelligence community’s analysis, one realizes they are not that far fetched.

If Obama can snub and insult the Prime Minister of Israel and Castro can laud the signing into law of Obamacare, how can any prediction be that far fetched?

Obamacare is taking from those that have and giving it to those who have not. Even the Senator from Montana calls this chasm “maldistribution.” Welcome to Marxism folks!

When Hamilton wrote Article 13 of the Federalist papers, did he have any inclination that Nancy Peloci, Harry Reid, and 220 of their comrades would so blatantly disregard every word?
