We shall return to Publius Huldah's guiding light, today. We begin first with a fascinating analysis from a new thought leader I'd never heard of before yesterday. Check this out!
2) I just followed @Pouissant1 and I'm recommending you should too. Let's talk about her guidance. Fraud VITIATES. Joe Biden has attempted to defraud the 2020 election. He has been caught. That defaults to Trump's absolute victory. It's the law. This is what she's telling us.
3) I'll leave the term "vitiate" to her thread. In our terms, Biden lost, due to cheating. Cheaters, when caught, lose. That's how it works. Our nation is not only legal, it's logical. Cheaters lose. Hang with that. You cheat, you lose.
4) As we move forward, as a nation, and as our glorious MAGA Movement, it is absolutely critical that we claim the high ground. Morally. Ethically. Patriotically. We won this election in 2 ways. By the vote, it was a landslide. By the cheat, Biden is disqualified.
5) Before we pick up on Publius Huldah's critical guidance again, honor must be given again to @shestokas who brought her work to our attention. After he and I last spoke, this was the article he offered for our homework.
6) So, I take my first study pause. I have read this article twice before, and will now read it for my third time. I need this framework now, and I urge you, so do you.
Back in a bit, and this will happen several times today!
7) Half way through, and I'm already seeing a series of podcasts that @shestokas and I need to do. One series would just be this article. There would be others to follow. What do you say? Wanna see us tear this stuff to shreds and build it back up again? We'd rock it!
8) Naming idea: The Lawyer and the Layman Discuss the Law.
Again, what do you think?
Back to reading now...
9) And here I thought I hated International Law, before. Now, fie and tarnation, I learn the my very nation is merely a conglomeration of States conjoined by some strange form of International law...into a Nation. He always does this to me. Like...always.
10) This I knew already. I do NOT like regulations. I don't even like the idea. I am no New Deal kind of guy. FDR is NOT my hero. Okay, I support WWII. We won't talk about that now. I don't like bureaucracies. I get that we need them, but less not more, less power not more.
11) I quote, you decide:
"The granting of power to an executive agency to make law is called a delegation of legislative authority by the legislature. At one time, the power grant was thought unconstitutional as violating the separation of powers.
12) "As society became more complex and details regarding many things, such as the FDA’s rules for approving new drugs were thought beyond the capabilities of legislatures to deal with such detail courts began to accept this practice.
13) "Many still consider it to be unconstitutional, though the US Supreme Court has ruled that such delegations are an implied power of Congress."
14) Here's what led me to my question to @Shestokas. I didn't get the US Code, as vs Publius Huldah's framework of statutes. I still don't quite yet. I draw closer, but Dave will tell you, I'm not an easy student to guide. Thanks, Dave, for this article. It helps, greatly.
15) Before we turn back to PH and her roadmap, I owe her two documents of study: Federalist 10 & 78. Are you settled in for a long session? Federalist 10 comes next.
16) I just finished Madison's first, long paragraph in 10. I have to ask you, do you know how to read writings like this? I say flat out, I do not...other than to say repeatedly. There's a general Idea I'll share. But, the words themselves are sacred, and I am unworthy.
17) The first sentence:
"AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a wellconstructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction."
18) I'm going to read on, now...
19) I'm pausing my reading to comment. Why does Publius Huldah send us here? This is the very thinking that informs our nation itself. If we fail to read this, and think it through, we're not worthy citizens. It is that profound, that clear, that simple. You must read.
20) Property, as a right? This paragraph must be quoted:
"The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
21) "As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves.
22) "The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.
23) "From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results;
24) "and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties."
25) The word for all of this is "sober" thinking. Real thinking. Logical thought that articulates itself one step at a time, and that takes 20 times longer in the reading and understanding than it took in the writing. But, to write something like that paragraph takes a lifetime.
26) Back to reading...
27) "A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power;
28) "or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties,
29) "inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good."
30) This was published on Friday, November 23, 1787. We could easily emplace the year 2020 and find no loss of pertinence or relevance.
Wow.
31) "The inference to which we are brought is, that the CAUSES of faction cannot be removed, and that relief is only to be sought in the means of controlling its EFFECTS."
Emphasis in the original.
32) "If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote.
33) "It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution."
34) I have to stop reading now. I got it. A republic MUST be ready to clog the administration or convulse the society. But a faction CANNOT execute or mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution.
35) As Publius Huldah shows us, studying the Constitution and studying the Federalist Papers is the work of a lifetime. We won't get this done today. Not 10, and obviously not 78. Not today. So, after a coffee break, let's get back to her article itself. Yes?
36) Here's Publius Huldah's (PH) article yet again. In previous days, we've made it through the first part, to about #3. The Statutory Framework.
"Congress understood there would be fights in the States over the selection of the Electors. So they provided for the fights:"
27) Oh, here's the link to the article itself, again. I'm not sure yet, but this may be the most important article I've ever read relative to the Constitutional Republic in which we live.
28) So as @shestokas explains, we have natural law, the Constitution, Written laws as recorded in the USC, and a Statutory Framework that devolves therefrom.
29) PH tells us: "So we see that flexibility to deal with fights in the States over the selection of Electors is built into the US Code."
30) I hate doing this. I do. But I have to bring in another source now. Please be patient with me. Check out what @GenFlynn guides us toward, here:
A Historical, Constitutional, and Legal examination of Electoral College Deadlines and their implications for the 2020 Presidential Election
44) Skipping everything in between, here's the conclusion. But, please read the entire paper on your own.
"Because the laws governing the conduct of elections were flagrantly violated in numerous states during the 2020 presidential election...
45) "...there can be no determination of presidential Electors pursuant to state law. As such, the Constitution makes clear that the responsibility rests with state legislatures to appoint Electors.
46) "This should be done as expeditiously as possible, but the only deadline state lawmakers have an obligation to meet is the one deadline set forth in the Constitution -- noon on January 20, 2021."
47) After one more short break, we will then dive into Publius Huldah's article in hopes of finishing it. Right now. Right now, know this. We have already won. It was a massive landslide. We will NOT allow this to be stolen from us. We have plenty of time.
48) Now, we have to try to finish up with:
4. Congress has the power to determine whether the President elect and Vice President elect are qualified for office
5. Election Fraud is a federal crime
6. The Duty of the Supreme Court
And..
49)
7. The State Legislatures should appoint replacement Electors
8. Warning
50) "4. Congress has the power to determine whether the President elect and Vice President elect are qualified for office"
This is the greatest nation in the history of the world. Our founders get that credit. This item demonstrates why.
51) Imagine any other previous nation who's chamber of congress had the power to determine if the reigning power was qualified. This is why the rest of the world models its democracies upon ours.
52) Hear this: "Congress also has the power – and the duty – to disqualify Biden and Harris on the ground that the fraud bringing about their sham “election” was an attack on the States’ Right, guaranteed by Article IV, §4, to have a republican form of government."
53) I often speak about how our Constitutional Republic was stolen from us, dating back to 1913. In the years of my education, from 1967 - 1981, I never heard the term "a republican form of government."
Imagine that.
54) Let's go slowly again.
* Republicans are a Party.
* A republican form of government has nothing to do with political parties.
Who knew that? I sure didn't.
55) And...
* Democrats are a Party.
* Democracy has nothing to do with that political party.
On our side, we often say we're NOT a democracy, we're a republic. This is only partially true.
56) Democracy matters. It is the only way that Monarchy, or the Tyranny of the Rulers may be defeated. The rule of the majority is the answer to the rule of the minority. That's what democracy is, the majority rules.
57) Thing is, in reality, the majority is never merely just the majority. It is what the minority of those in power persuade the rest of their followers is in their own best interest. That's how it becomes a tyranny. Thus in America, for the 1st time in history, we overcame both.
58) We employed the majority to overcome the tyranny of the minority. We employed a republic to overcome the tyranny of the majority. Now that is pure genius. And within it we find the basis of our freedom from 1776 till now.
59) What does PH tell us is the way forward, today?
5. Election Fraud is a federal crime
Biden and Harris are criminals. No, certainly, AG Barr is NOT up to the task. Be clear on that point. But, that he is corrupt does NOT remove the burden from the DOJ. Alas.
60) No need to linger. How do we address the full corruption of our federal apparatus when such evil doers as of Barr run them?
PH tells us:
6. The Duty of the Supreme Court
61) SCOTUS rightly has NO enforcement capability. It's SOLE power is that of judgement. So: "the Supreme Court must issue an Opinion consistent with Article IV, §4, which, when enforced by the Executive Branch of the federal government, solves the present crisis."
62) Let's finish out our work for today by returning to the Constitution itself, as PH guides us.
Article I, Section 4:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;
63) ...but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Take that in. Work on it. We're at the heart of Congressional power and duty, here.
64) Can America be defrauded of a landslide election? The powers that oppose us within believe we can. Our enemies within have made their bet. You can fool a vast majority of Americans, they bet. I say we cannot be so fooled or defrauded.
65) So, following Mark Serrano's paper, I'm absolutely ready to wait until January 20. We'll see what happens. And with @Pouissant1, I'm ready to declare victory now.
How about you?
Thread ends at #65.
Not only do we have Federalist 78 to still consider, but I imagine we'll have some further PH thinking to finish up with tomorrow as well.
Till then...

Today's work will have even more moving parts than usual. But one part more important than any other is last night's @marklevinshow's historically transformational episode.
2) That Mark is a hero almost goes without saying. He is, but I had almost lost faith in him last week. Watched about 3 minutes and turned to other entertainment. Why? There is ONLY one story in America today. If you're not talking about election fraud you're not worth the time.
3) The MAGA Movement enters our story here. FOX's rating have hit lows that did more than stun the executives, it even inspired some real thinking. I don't know the editorial process. I do know, they cut Mark loose last night and he took the ball and ran all the way.
I'm going to practice a new skill right now. Without any further study for the moment, I'm going to expand the view, mark it up, and then comment. Join me! Do your own mark up too!
2) Before I get started, that's how today's work is going to go. That is, I will actually study together with you. I'm going to try to keep this coherent as we go, but - and I have to talk about this for a moment - it's taken us a long time to get here.
3) Not only do we NOT know our jobs as governmental power delegators, our hires, those fellow citizens we delegate the power of governance to ALSO do not know their jobs. Hell, I confess, I just learned yesterday that I delegate governance to the governors.
2) Dave told me that it's author, Publius Huldah, is one of his most trusted and respected authorities on all things constitutional. He encouraged me to go slowly with the article, contemplating each point carefully. That's what we're going to do together, here.
3) What's more, we're going to be build our Constitution reading skills while we're at it. As I started studying, I realized that I have never grown comfortable with the Constitution's format, in reading it. I get it, but I've not spent much time doing it.
The sleeping giant of America sleeps no more. We have awakened. We're nothing more than the same Common Sense Americans we were in 1776. We're feisty. Independent and self-sufficient. Hard working.
2) We dozed, we can admit it, for the past 100 years. We did. And sleeping, we allowed our Constitution to be subverted. We did. We didn't keep too much track of the great and the mighty, we just lived our lives, patriotically while they stole America out from under us.
3) But then came 2016 and everything changed. We emplaced a true patriot into the oval office and he very literally changed everything. Some say Kennedy was a true patriot, and most everyone says Reagan was. Few others in that office were. Trump is. We know that. All of us.
This Lou Dobbs segment is from 6 November. It seems an eternity ago, doesn't it? And how how many news cycles since? Yet its clarity helps right now, these weeks later.
2) Funny thing, it came up in a search for General Tom McInerney. I just completed my studies of his segment of the WTW interview this morning, and was doing some research prior to this thread.
3) We won't be following specifics or details today. For those, I refer you again to the two video links above. No, we're going to look directly into the face of reality right now. And the reality is not pretty. It's the worst of our lives, and the worst of many generations.
Yesterday, we got through the first half of the WTW Interview focusing solely on @GenFlynn's guidance. That conscripted 70 tweets' worth of work on our parts. Today's work will be MUCH briefer.
2) In this morning's study, I only made it through just about 6:45 minutes, from 31:00 - 37:45 (or so). Assuming breaking news doesn't change everything, I'll pick up right there, tomorrow. You'll want to watch these minutes.
3) To lead into today's thoughts, I first want to review an idea I've discussed many times. Question: in the year 2,000, were box cutters prohibited on airplanes? I've never looked up the exact law, but that's not what matters. Let's imagine they were. So what?
