The ultimate hypocrisy: The U.S. government that claims they can use the [illegal] Standing Military with lethal force to suppress dissident demonstrations to protect the continuity of the -- lawful – government. *** The Oath of Office to which each bureaucrat has sworn to support, and authorizes their jurisdiction, contains the provision that the existing government does not have the power of a Standing Military. The lawful military power is vested in the militia of each independent State and must be activated by Congress to become a national body for two years. After activation by Congress, the Officers, as Commanders of the authorized military, are to be appointed by the States. [These provisions have been abrogated since 1947.] Ref: Art I, Sec 8, clauses 12-16.
