  1. Demos Kratos the people's power to rule over themselves this comes from the ancient Greek text people. This is not about money or physical f**** wealth it's about all freedoms of all people as individuals not group

  2. Ide rather listen to Paine without the aid of a preacher. If I could not consider his writings with my own brain, then I would be joining a religion as opposed to considering the worth of his thoughts.

  3. I tried to post a comment, and it actually showed up for a few minutes; but dissapeared soon after? CENSORED by YouTube/Google, that's part and parcel in this 100% Corrupt, Oligarchical-Controlled, Inverted-Totalitarian, Police-State government, masquerading as a capitalistic-free-democratic governmental system that's never existed. A perfect example of Thomas Paine's admonitions. Organize into guerilla armies.

  4. Romans 13:3-4: "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil"

  5. 70% sociopaths and psychopaths – three university forensic psychiatric studies of top executives of all types of organizations, found 70% were sociopaths or psychopaths. How can that be possible? Lacking conscience, they will do anything and everything to anyone to get and retain and increase power – things you and I could never do to anyone. It's not just government.

  6. Roman civil law has been given authority by God in the governance of the heathens ,( In God we trust ) So therefore without God at the center of conscience of Roman civil law it becomes draconian and ridiculous, in ancient Roman times the Roman centurion guarded the child of God in public because that's where the Roman government got their wisdom from , the law is good , but must uphold their oath to God and 🧾 of office or it's a problem….. The God of this nation and it's constitution is the ( law of the land. )and the guidelines of how to live, Roman civil law are courts of admiralty and the international laws of the open sea, commercial law , globalist law, So therefore nullify it , any law that attempts to supersede the law of the land is null and void…. it's purpose is to control the heathens that know no better that don't follow God and his redemption plan Jesus Christ and him crucified,…… Roman civil law governs the heathen so God's people can some peace 🕊️ those who follow the constitution and the natural law and common law and the biblical interpretation of the Constitution …………. Freemasonry is only allowed to exist to destroy the wicked and Freemason judges have a limited jurisdiction, thou shall not judge but do justice ⚖️ , two jurisdictions why does a justice ⚖️ have authority over a judge? One court the state of Roman civil law Freemason judge renders judgment with his court and the justice ⚖️ with his court renders mercy a balance of power ⚖️ recognizing God and the constitution of this nation ( one nation under God 🇺🇸 )………rule thou in the midst of thine enemies!… A petition to God Almighty in prayer 🙏 is the highest court in the land period…,,………..over all men …………………………………………..he is God over all the saved and the heathens…….

  9. I took this book hunting with me just to sit and read to pass the time I ended up getting a nice little buck and left the book behind common sense right a year later I go right back to my same oak tree and sit down on my little ledge And there’s my book. The craziest thing is there was not one thing wrong with that book. It was as though I had gone back the next day and picked it up. I think Thomas Payne and the words in this book have been blessed by the one and only to be out there a whole year. I have the book now it’s in great shape as if it had never spent a year outside.

  10. He made the women’s corsets and he was a bridge builder. He was also well educated in the arts of Freemasonry when free masonry had a Christian value not so much today the further up go the more you know that you shouldn’t know, but you should know it’s better not to know because you know you know

  12. “But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.”

    ― Ron Paul

  13. Government is responsible for allowing bankers, insurance companies, oil companies, utility companies, and drug companies to run a muck in this country. Elections and laws are bought and paid for in advance by these industries through corporate lobbying and campaign contributions/bribes. According to John Swinton, there haven been an independent press in this country since before the 1900s.

  14. Simply put, the act of worship is to follow the commandments, Satan literally means adversary, for those who choose to follow commandments made by anyone other than God, fit the description of being a 'satanist'. Government give 'humans' rights but God gives 'people' rights. the maxim [paraphrase] The created can not be greater than the creator' as governments created the word 'human' but 'people' created the word 'government'. At its roots words have power from the beginning, as in the beginning was only the word.
