“An Act Against the Constitution is Void”

The American Revolution kicked off in 1761 with a single principle from James Otis Jr.: an unconstitutional law is NO LAW AT ALL.

Any government act exceeding its legitimate authority is void the moment it is passed. It has no more legal power than a law passed by a foreign government.

Call it what it is: usurpation, a theft of power. And stolen power is not to be obeyed, it is to be resisted.

HIERARCHY OF POWER

Government possesses no inherent power. It is a created agent, and as George Mason explained, any authority it holds comes from its boss: the people.

“All power was originally lodged in, and consequently is derived from, the people.”

The people didn’t just hand government a blank check. As John Jay made clear, they gave it the Constitution: a strict, enumerated list of what it is authorized to do.

“The proposed government is to be the government of the people; all its officers are to be their officers, and to exercise no rights but such as the people commit to them.”

This was so essential to the structure of the constitution they made it explicit with the Tenth Amendment, which Thomas Jefferson called the foundation of the entire system.

“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.’”

James Wilson then locked in this hierarchy of power: the people at the top, the Constitution as their instructions, and the government at the bottom.

“As our constitutions are superior to our legislatures; so the people are superior to our constitutions.”

USURPATION

That hierarchy reveals the crime. Thomas Paine distinguished legitimate, delegated authority from theft.

“All delegated power is trust. All assumed power is usurpation.”

Usurpation, by definition, is an exercise of unauthorized power. In essence, stealing power from those who rightly hold it, the people. A common dictionary definition of the era came from Thomas Sheridan’s 1789 A Complete Dictionary of the English Language:

“Forcible, unjust, illegal seizure or possession.” 

A usurper is “One who seizes or possesses that to which he has no right.”

The Declaration of Independence demonstrates this view. Most people today refer to the list of charges against the king as “grievances.” But that word isn’t even in the document.

Instead, the founders used phrases like “A long train of abuses and usurpations” and “a history of repeated injuries and usurpations” to define their opposition to unconstitutional powers like the Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, the Coercive Acts and so much more.

VOID

Usurpation justified a revolution, secession, and a long war for Independence. But the Founders knew any government could be just as dangerous. James Iredell issued the same warning against their own.

“Any law not warranted by the Constitution is a barefaced usurpation.”

St. George Tucker broadened it beyond just legislation to any exercise of power beyond constitutional limits.

“Every extension of the administrative authority beyond its just constitutional limits, is absolutely an act of usurpation.”

This is the legal doctrine of void ab initio. It’s a legal nullity from the beginning, and never rises to the level of law, and 3rd Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth applied that principle to the constitution.

“If they make a law which the Constitution does not authorize, it is void.”

As James Wilson made clear, this means government has no legal authority to enforce such acts.

“That a void act can confer no authority upon those, who proceed under colour of it, is a self evident proposition.”

In the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, Thomas Jefferson took no prisoners. A usurpation of power – an unconstitutional law – is no law at all.

“Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

Even Alexander Hamilton took this position on the supremacy clause. Only acts in pursuance of delegated constitutional powers are supreme.

“But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are NOT PURSUANT to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land.”

PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE

The obvious objection to all this: government doesn’t care about theory or constitutional principles. They’ll do what they want anyway.

Hamilton continued with the practical application – acts beyond the limits of the constitution don’t stop themselves.

“These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.”

Complying with stolen power just encourages more theft. That’s why James Iredell explained that a free people would resist any such acts.

“The people will resist if government usurps power not delegated to it.”

Roger Sherman explained how that works in a union of states under the Constitution.

When the people refuse to comply, and the states back them up, there’s not much the feds can do to shove their so-called “laws,” regulations and orders down our throats.

“All acts of the Congress not warranted by the constitution would be void. Nor could they be enforced contrary to the sense of a majority of the States.”

That’s constitutional enforcement in action: people refuse, states end enforcement, federal overreach fails.

James Otis helped launch the Revolution on one foundational principle: unconstitutional acts do not rise to the level of “law.” The fiery Anti-Federalist Luther Martin tied it all together: When government steals unauthorized power, resistance is duty.

“By the principles of the American revolution, arbitrary power may and ought to be resisted.”

Benito Mussolini

1932

From Michael J. Oakeshott:

The Social and Political Doctrines of Contemporary Europe, pp. 164-8.

Copyright 1939

by Cambridge University Press.

Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Duce of fascist Italy from 1922 to 1945, needs no introduction. The following selections are from his article entitled “The Doctrine of Fascism” which appeared in the Italian Encyclopedia of 1932.

 THERE IS no concept of the State which is not fundamentally a concept of life: philosophy or intuition, a system of ideas which develops logically or is gathered up into a vision or into a faith, but which is always, at least virtually, an organic conception of the world.

1. Thus fascism could not be understood in many of its practical manifestations as a party organization, as a system of education, as a discipline, if it were not always looked at in the light of its whole way of conceiving life, a spiritualized way. The world seen through Fascism is not this material world which appears on the surface, in which man is an individual separated from all others and standing by himself, and in which he is governed by a natural law that makes him instinctively live a life of selfish and momentary pleasure. The man of Fascism is an individual who is nation and fatherland, which is a moral law, binding together individuals and the generations into a tradition and a mission, suppressing the instinct for a life enclosed within the brief round of pleasure in order to restore within duty a higher life free from the limits of time and space: a life in which the individual, through the denial of himself, through the sacrifice of his own private interests, through death itself, realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies.

…

 3. Therefore it is a spiritualized conception, itself the result of the general reaction of modem times against the flabby materialistic positivism of the nineteenth century. Anti-positivistic, but positive: not skeptical, nor agnostic, nor pessimistic, nor passively optimistic, as arc, in general, the doctrines (all negative) that put the centric of life outside man, who with his free will can and must create his own world. Fascism desires an active man, one engaged in activity with all his energies: it desires a man virilely conscious of the difficulties that exist in action and ready to face them. It conceives of life as a struggle, considering that it behooves man to conquer for himself that life truly worthy of him, creating first of all in himself the instrument (physical, moral, intellectual) in order to construct it. Thus for the single individual, thus for the nation, thus for humanity. Hence the high value of culture in all its forms (art, religion, science), and the enormous importance of education. Hence also the essential value of work, with which man conquers nature and creates the human world (economic, political, moral, intellectual).

4. This positive conception of life is clearly an ethical conception. It covers the whole of reality, not merely the human activity which controls it. No action can be divorced from moral judgment; there is nothing in the world which can be deprived of the value which belongs to everything in its relation to moral ends. Life, therefore, as conceived by the Fascist, is serious, austere, religious: the whole of it is poised in a world supported by the moral and responsible forces of the spirit. The Fascist disdains the “comfortable” life.

5. Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual and raises him to conscious membership of a spiritual society. Whoever has seen in the religious politics of the Fascist regime nothing but mere opportunism has not understood that Fascism besides being a system of government is also, and above all, a system of thought.

6. Fascism is an historical conception in which man is what he is only in so far as he works with the spiritual process in which he finds himself, in the family or social group, in the nation and in the history in which all nations collaborate. From this follows the great value of tradition, in memories, in language, in customs, in the standards of social life. Outside history man is nothing. consequently Fascism is opposed to all the individualistic abstractions of a materialistic nature like those of the eighteenth century; and it is opposed to all Jacobin utopias and innovations. It does not consider that “happiness” is possible upon earth, as it appeared to be in the desire of the economic literature of the eighteenth century, and hence it rejects all teleological theories according to which mankind would reach a definitive stabilized condition at a certain period in history. This implies putting oneself outside history and life, which is a continual change and coming to be. Politically, Fascism wishes to be a realistic doctrine; practically, it aspires to solve only the problems which arise historically of themselves and that of themselves find or suggest their own solution. To act among men, as to act in the natural world, it is necessary to enter into the process of reality and to master the already operating forces.

7. Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State; and it is for the individual in so far as he coincides with the State, which is the conscience and universal will of man in his historical existence. It is opposed to classical Liberalism, which arose from the necessity of reacting against absolutism, and which brought its historical purpose to an end when the State was transformed into the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the interests of the particular individual; Fascism reaffirms the State as the true reality of the individual. And if liberty is to be the attribute of the real man, and not of that abstract puppet envisaged by individualistic Liberalism, Fascism is for liberty. And for the only liberty which can be a real thing, the liberty of the State and of the individual within the State. Therefore, for the Fascist, everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value,-outside the State. In this sense Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State, the synthesis and unity of all values, interprets, develops and gives strength to the whole life of the people.

8. Outside the State there can be neither individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, syndicates, classes). Therefore Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which confines the movement of history within the class struggle and ignores the unity of classes established in one economic and moral reality in the State; . . .

9. Individuals form classes according to the similarity of their interests, they form syndicates according to differentiated economic activities within these interests; but they form first, and above all, the State, which is not to be thought of numerically as the sum-total of individuals forming the majority of a nation. And consequently Fascism is opposed to Democracy, which equates the nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of that majority; nevertheless it is the purest form of democracy if the nation is conceived, as it should be, qualitatively and not quantitatively, as the most powerful idea (most powerful because most moral, most coherent, most true) which acts within the nation as the conscience and the will of a few, even of One, which ideal tends to become active within the conscience and the will of all — that is to say, of all those who rightly constitute a nation by reason of nature, history or race, and have set out upon the same line of development and spiritual formation as one conscience and one sole will. Not a race, nor a geographically determined region, but as a community historically perpetuating itself a multitude unified by a single idea, which is the will to existence and to power: consciousness of itself, personality.

10. This higher personality is truly the nation in so far as it is the State. It k not the nation that generates the State, as according to the old naturalistic concept which served as the basis of the political theories of the national States of the nineteenth century. Rather the nation is created by the State, which gives to the people, conscious of its own moral unity, a will and therefore an effective existence. The right of a nation to independence derives not from a literary and ideal consciousness of its own being, still less from a more or less unconscious and inert acceptance of a de facto situation, but from an active consciousness, from a political will in action and ready to demonstrate its own rights: that is to say, from a state already coming into being. The State, in fact, as the universal ethical will, is the creator of right.

11. The nation as the State is an ethical reality which exists and lives in so far as it develops. To arrest its development is to kill it. Therefore the State is not only the authority which governs and gives the form of laws and the value of spiritual life to the wills of individuals, but it is also a power that makes its will felt abroad, making it known and respected, in other words demonstrating the fact of its universality in all the necessary directions of its development. It is consequently organization and expansion, at least virtually. Thus it can be likened to the human will which knows no limits to its development and realizes itself in testing its own limitlessness.

12. The Fascist State, the highest and most powerful form of personality, is a force, but a spiritual force, which takes over all the forms of the moral and intellectual life of man. It cannot therefore confine itself simply to the functions of order and supervision as Liberalism desired. It is not simply a mechanism which limits the sphere of the supposed liberties of the individual. It is the form, the inner standard and the discipline of the whole person; it saturates the will as well as the intelligence. Its principle, the central inspiration of the human personality living in the civil community, pierces into the depths and makes its home in the heart of the man of action as well as of the thinker, of the artist as well as of the scientist: it is the soul of the soul.

13. Fascism, in short, is not only the giver of laws and the founder of institutions, but the educator and promoter of spiritual life. It wants to remake, not the forms of human life, but its content, man, character, faith. And to this end it requires discipline and authority that can enter into the spirits of men and there govern unopposed. Its sign, therefore, is the Lictors’ rods, the symbol of unity, of strength and justice.

On Myth

The following statement is embedded in a speech delivered by Mussolini at Naples, October 24, 1912:

WE HAVE created our myth. The myth is a faith, it is passion. It is not necessary that it shall be a reality. It is a reality by the fact that it is a good, a hope, a faith, that it is courage. Our myth is the Nation, our myth is the greatness of the Nation! And to this myth, to this grandeur, that we wish to translate into a complete reality, we subordinate all the rest.

The history and clout of AIPAC is quite interesting as it acts as an umbrella organization for all Zionist NGO’s.

Formed in 1953, AIPAC was introduced by Isaiah Kenen, as the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs within the lobbying division of American Zionist Council.  Because the Council was Israeli, in 1962 JFK and Bobby Kennedy forced them to register as a foreign agent – baring them from making US political contributions.  In 1966, The American Zionist Councilwas dissolved after regulatory changes revoked tax exemption for foreign agents. Its former subsidiary AIPAC continued to operate, albeit illegally having never registered as a foreign agent…

Kenen came from a Russian Bolshevik family that moved to Canada where Kenen worked before establishing himself in the US.  During the 1940’s, Kenen worked for the Jewish Agency of Palestine formed in 1929, the largest Jewish nonprofit in the world.  This Agency was founded by Arthur Ruppin, a proponent of pseudoscience race theory – ie, Zions are the superior race.  He was called to Palestine in 1908 – when Edmond Rothschild was busily transforming Palestine into Israel.  Ruppin believed that Jews were nonSemitic and intermarriage with Semitic Arabs weakened their racial superiority.  It was Ruppin whose fascination with the concept of a superior race, decided the Ashkenazis had the largest skulls and were thus – the most racially pure nonSemitics.  Jews that were not Ashkenazi were thus assured the role of manual laborers.

After the Yom Kippur War of 1973, AIPAC’s power exponentiated and they began to control ‘political opinion’ – ie, US Congress.   Still operating outside of the US Laws regarding registration of a Foreign Agent.   During the 1980’s AIPAC members were given similar free rein authority to act outside the Laws and member wealth escalated rapidly.  An Elite Class of Jews were born to expand the Banking Jew domination.

One such member became AIPAC’s president, Larry Weinberg, who infiltrated Reagan’s cabinet. Weinberg’s stated goal was to sculpt Washington into an Israeli controlled foundation.  As in corporate America.

In AIPAC’s world, if you do our bidding in supporting Israel no matter what, your reward will be money.   IF you are ‘critical’ of Israel, you will suffer the consequences.

Having raised $49 million so far out of a planned $100 million to skew the American election, AIPAC’s largest funder is the conservative Ukrainian American billionaire who co-founded WhatsApp, Jan Koum, $5m. Koum also donated to the Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s Super Pac.  Another major AIPAC donor is John Jacobsen, Democrat Rep in New York whose first win in 2018 was available as he ran unopposed due to the death of his democrat primary challenger – who also attained office due to the death of his challenger…

In other words, AIPAC is not affiliated with a party, it is affiliated with Zionism and promoting anyone and everyone who aligns with Zionist ideologies – as in do NOT ever be critical of Israel or we will destroy your career – and more.

When discussing Zionists the conversation is rarely allowed to venture into the Bolshevik Revolution wherein Lenin and Stalin murdered millions;  Lenin – 14-27 million.  Stalin – 9-20 million.  Why are these Holocausts not Holocausts?  Because they were a direct result of secular Ashkenazi Jews violently over-throwing King Nicholas II of Soviet Russia.  Some records estimate the number murdered is closer to 60 million.

The country these Bolsheviks created was called a communist party statehood.   The same communists that Hitler wrote about in Mein Kampf wherein Germany was next on the list after the USSR.  Hitler was convinced that unless he expelled all communists from Germany, they would rise and do to Germany what they did to Soviet Russia.  ‘That is what Hitler believed’.

These Holocausts are rarely allowed to be discussed in the censorship of media – owned by the Zionists.   Because creating history voids a crippling reality.

All of this supports Ashkenazi Soros in his quest with Rothschild to control the last remaining visages of anti-communist nations;  Russia and America.  The means?   Controlling the governments.  America’s politicians fell like elephants being chased by Mickey Mouse.  Russia nearly fell into the sweet talking ideology – but in 2015, Putin subsequently expelled Soros and Rothschild as the MkUltra brain hypnosis was broken.

AIPAC is ratcheting up its 2024 election picking – to expand Israeli control over America for they feel they are losing the battle as Netanyahu has brought desolation upon them.   Ashkenazis have many shared attributes that distinguish them from all other Jews – they are secular, they actively promote their superiority, and they are racist to extreme.  This zeal is embedded in the Military Industrial Complex in their ridding the world of the evils of inferiority so as to create a homogenous elite class.

Ben Shapiro is an example of this conscious awareness of purity.  Blindly, Secularly, advocating for Israel as a supreme power over the world.

But we ignore the real Jews, the ones who Ruppin declares are the real Jews of antiquity – representing 33% to 45% –  comprised of Sephardic and Mizrahi (Eastern, or oriental Jews) who follow Old Testament Biblical writings and protest against the genocide of Palestinians.   The ones who do not blackmail or demand world control.  The ones who align with Christianity, albeit not Jesus.

The largest Christian populations across the globe include:  US, Brazil, Mexico, RUSSIA, and the Philippines.  It is the secular Zionists that desire to destroy Russia and America – Milei has been installed in Argentina, Lula in Brazil and in June Mexico’s election will likely install – Claudia Sheinbaum – a Soros positioned Ashkenazi Jewess.

One country at a time – politicians are installed that meet the approval of AIPAC.  Even millennials understand that we are not fighting republicans or democrats – we are fighting the Zionist colonization of America as their puppet to do the barbaric on their behalf within 45 active battles across the globe.  PR is NOT working.

If you haven't read an earlier piece that I wrote titled The Fog Acronym go ahead and do so, this follows right behind it.

 FATE

 1. F - Focus

This refers to attention and concentration. Human behavior is fundamentally shaped by what we choose to pay attention to and what we are consciously aware of.

Influence: By controlling or guiding a person's focus (often through novelty, surprise, or carefully placed distractions), you control the data they process and the context they use to make decisions.

2. A - Authority

This refers to the inherent human tendency to obey and defer to perceived power, competence, or leadership.

Influence: Activating the authority lever means establishing your credibility and command through your appearance, discipline, competence, and demeanor (as detailed in the previous answer). When authority is established, resistance is naturally lowered.

3. T - Tribe

This refers to the deep, primal human need for **belonging, social connection, and group acceptance.

Influence: This lever is activated by linking the desired behavior or decision to group identity. 

People are heavily influenced by the norms, expectations, and behaviors of the group they belong to or aspire to belong to. Creating an "in-group" feeling accelerates trust and compliance.

4. E - Emotion

This refers to the understanding that emotions, fears, and feelings drive decisions much more powerfully than logic or rational thought.

Influence: To persuade someone, you must identify and strategically activate their key emotional drivers (fear of loss, desire for status, need for security). 

Once the appropriate emotional state is triggered, the subject becomes far more susceptible to the suggested action or outcome.

 FEAR

Novelty (Focus): Introducing unusual, unexpected, or brand-new elements to capture and maintain attention.

How they do it: This taps into the brain's dopamine reward system and its natural tendency to seek conclusions (the Zygarnic effect). 

Cults achieve this by promising access to secret knowledge, new ceremonies, or higher "levels" that the member is not yet privy to, constantly creating an anticipation of what's next and keeping the brain engaged.

Emotional Triggering (FEAR formula - E): Deliberately eliciting strong emotional responses. 

How they do it: As part of the FEAR (Focus, Emotion, Agitation, Repetition) formula for conditioning, if an individual is being triggered emotionally in various conversations or through content, it's a significant warning sign of conditioning.

Agitation (FEAR formula - A): Disrupting a person's emotional state or environment to prevent predictability and keep their brain constantly stimulated. 

How they do it: This is applied in cults and can even be used on oneself. By introducing disruptive elements or constantly changing the environment (like rearranging furniture), the mammalian brain is signaled that "something's different," forcing it to pay attention and remain in a state of heightened awareness, which aids in conditioning .

Repetition (FEAR formula - R): The consistent and repeated application of the focus, emotion, and agitation elements over time. 

How they do it: This is crucial for long-term conditioning. By repeatedly exposing the individual to novelty, emotional fluctuations, and agitation, the influence becomes ingrained.

Emotion Loops (Tension and Release): A conversational or psychological pattern that alternates between creating tension (e.g., fear, instability) and then releasing it (e.g., safety, comfort). 

How they do it: Similar to the "good cop, bad cop" dynamic. By cycling through these emotional states, the brain experiences decreasing cortisol (stress) and increasing GABA (safety chemical).

Each "release" goes a bit deeper, leading to increased feelings of safety and a higher degree of suggestibility towards the influencer's goals, whether it's recruitment or a sale.

Identity Agreements: A subtle persuasion method where the influencer focuses on getting the target to agree to small statements about their self-identity rather than their beliefs.

How they do it: Cult recruiters, for instance, don't focus on abstract ideas. Instead, they ask questions that lead to agreements about who the person is (e.g., "Are you the kind of person who supports healthy things?"). 

These tiny, consistent agreements about one's self-concept create a "foot in the door" that makes it harder to deviate later, as it would conflict with their self-perception.

WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT LIKES IT OR NOT

John Dickinson understood what schools don’t teach – the people are the ones to enforce their own constitution.

“IT IS THEIR DUTY TO WATCH, AND THEIR RIGHT TO TAKE CARE, THAT THE CONSTITUTION BE PRESERVED; or in the Roman phrase on perilous occasions – To PROVIDE, THAT THE REPUBLIC RECEIVE NO DAMAGE.”

Dickinson wasn’t a radical by temperament. He was careful, deliberate. But he knew even the best Constitution would mean nothing if the people didn’t step up to enforce it themselves.

That warning rings louder than ever today. Politicians in both parties burn through trillions, spy without warrants, and hand out permission slips for your natural right of self-defense. They want obedience – not vigilance.

The Constitution can’t enforce itself.
Never did and never will.

That’s a big part of the reason why the Tenth Amendment Center exists. For nearly 20 years we’ve reminded the people of their duty – a duty to protect and defend their own Constitution and their own liberty, whether the government likes it, or not.

But TAC runs only on your support. No government funds. No billionaire strings. Just people like you who understand Dickinson’s call: when the constitution is violated, the answer is to “be instantly found … before the supreme sovereignty of the people” 

And Dickinson was far from alone. Samuel Adams, for example, also reminded us that defending our constitution and liberty isn’t just a good idea – but a moral imperative – a duty.

“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.”

That’s not a summary for a book report. It’s a warning for us right today – and every single day.

Power always grows. Governments will never restrain themselves – and relying on them to do so – has given us the largest government in history.

The only way to turn things around is get back to the foundation. That’s why we take it right back to the founders and the old revolutionaries: The duty to keep government in check belongs to us.
