For decades I read in my college classes messages smuggled out of socialist / communist prisons in Romania, Cuba, North Vietnam, the USSR, Communist China, North Korea and etc. some no worse than now coming out of the District of Columbia Department of Corrections in the United States. American citizens have been thrown into cells, denied family visits, fed horrible food, and imprisoned in essentially solitary confinement for up to 24 hours daily.
Approximately 650 January 6 Rally participants were “later charged and arrested in raids that involved armored military vehicles and SWAT teams.” Many of these thereafter were detained for most of a year without trial on Nancy Pelosi’s and the Democrat Party media outlets’ supposition of insurrection. Still, not one has been charged with insurrection!! Evidence of insurrection does not exist or this would have been charged. Confinement and tortuous treatment is largely punishment for their support of Trump in the Electoral College vote count.
They are instead American political prisoners. Those able to get messages “out to the public tell of their long-term solitary confinement without cause, sleep deprivation techniques, beatings at the hands of guards while in restraints, and threats of harsher treatment for speaking to the media (“Ignore the Dissidents of Our Time at Your Peril,” by Sarah Corridor, Homefront Crusade, October 13, 2021). All, dissident punishment techniques of communist countries cited above.
I had never supposed that I would see the same in the United States—political prisoners. But I also never supposed that socialists would take over this country implementing censorship, lock-downs, and mandates as in communist regimes. Washington D.C. is governed by the House of Representatives, presently led by Nancy Pelosi as speaker. None of this could happen without her knowledge and consent.
What follows is one of those letters smuggled out. Its author Nathan Degraves has no unlawful or violent history. He did not break anything nor hurt anyone.
Nathan Degraves.
“Dear fellow Americans, I never thought I’d write a letter like this but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help. My name is Nathan Degraves. And as a non violent participate at the January 6 Rally I’ve spent the last nine months detained as a political prisoner in pod C at the DC Department of Corrections, otherwise known as DC’s Gitmo.
“The conditions here for January Sixers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to Guantanamo Bay, where they have more acceptable standards. Class action lawsuits are being filed against this prison and even the ACLU has gotten involved.
“So let me tell you about me and many others who are January Sixers and what we’ve been experiencing in DC’s Gitmo, our conditions for the last 120 days. For DC’s Gitmo January Sixers experienced daily lockdowns for 23 to 24 hours before being allowed to leave our small 120 square foot cell. The physical and mental anguish that results from this kind of severe isolation has caused many people to go on a rapid mental decline. As a result, a large percentage of us are heavily medicated with anti anxiety and anti depressant drugs, which helps to cope with the psychological and mental abuse we endure. Many times the little recreation we do receive is stripped away if our cell isn’t up to standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day.
“January Sixers have lost recreation time, and out of cell activity time, for any news interviews about the jail when they are aired on TV, when people speak up about our conditions or rallies are held in our name. We’ll probably have a lock-down upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance.
“I suffer headaches and nausea. I have already lost 15 pounds since I’ve been detained and I was quite thin and fit to begin with. After in person visits, legal or otherwise we are forced to undergo humiliating strip searches despite all visitors being thoroughly checked for contraband. If it’s an illegal visit we are placed in a 14 day quarantine with no out of cell time even if your attorney is vaccinated and tests negative for COVID. Visits with friends or family members for unvaccinated inmates are never allowed.
“I am being unfairly prosecuted and definitely overcharged. I never assaulted anyone destroyed property or stolen anything. Please don’t be fooled by the media. I am a loving and peaceful person with no history of violence.
“Please share this letter with everyone you know friends and family, senators, representatives, political organizations, organizers, civil rights groups and media outlets. The truth has to get out and the jail must pay for what they are doing to this country’s citizens. The government has essentially cancelled me.”
My publisher, LibertyUnderFire.com, publishes stories and / or information heavily censored by the controlled press in America. This letter was read by Greg Kelly of Newsmax on November 1, 2021. As far as we know Kelly is the only outlet for this story, besides you.
All America must unite in condemning censorship and tyranny. If the government can do this to one philosophy, political party, or person it can do it to anyone. The government has nothing on Nathaniel Degrave or they would have produced it long ago. They must assume his legal fees, pay compensation for his incarceration, and set him free immediately. Until then he remains a political prisoner in America.

As a college professor for forty years, I instructed the Constitution and Current Events and still teach both in LibertyUnderFire.com columns on line such as this one. I know the Constitution worked well for every situation this nation confronted in those 40 years. My current events classes began. “You are not Democrats or Republicans, you are constitutionalists.” “Every issue presented here will be debated and resolved with this document.” When applied as written it has never failed us and students learned how to use and love it.
The following parts of the Constitution when followed, demonstrate why tyranny can never gain hold in the United States and why the Constitution remains its principle antidote. Follow along with your own copy of the Constitution.
Every single law must be initiated and passed by elected members of Congress—the Legislature. After signed into law the executive and judicial branches were given power only to act on existing law, one to administer the other to adjudicate.
Lawmakers initially had limited time to make law. Congress assembled on the first Monday in December (Article I, Section 4 ) and our Christian founders wanted to be home for Christmas, December 25. Getting home in time, in a horse and buggy day, gave them less than three weeks to make law. Such limited time was practiced until changed by the 20th Amendment ratified Jan. 23, 1933, when Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted the federal government to meet continually.
Lawmakers must adhere to a list in making law, not just make it up (Article I, Section 8). Today neither political party pay any attention to this list. The list gives them only four areas from which to make law: taxes, paying debts, provide for the common defense, and general welfare of the United States. The remainder of this, originally one long sentence of 17 paragraphs, were qualifiers on these last two powers, common defense and general welfare so that these were further restricted. The Founders had no intention of leaving these broad phrases unspecified.
The Federal government was limited in the amount of property it could hold to just 10 square miles for a capital and only land for military purposes which must be purchased and approved by the state legislatures from which taken (Article I, Section 8, Clause 17). Today federal land encompasses about a third of the U.S., this without any approval other than their own.
Presidents must adhere to a list of areas where they can execute the law found in Article II, Sections 2 and 3. There never was, nor is there today, constitutional language authorizing presidents to make law, executive orders, decrees or mandates. Nor can they combine ancient pieces of law to create a new law. Initially executive orders were interdepartmental directives.
The Supreme Court must adhere to a list of areas where they can adjudicate the law and be in compliance with two types of adjudication—original and appellate (Article III, Section 2). There exists no constitutional language authorizing ruling in such a way as to create new law as that belongs to the legislative branch alone. Nor does any language exist enabling them to undermine or destroy federalism. Remember the states created the Constitution. Housed permanently within it is shared government or federalism (See Article V and Amendment 10).
The Constitution allows change to it but only through 3/4ths vote consent of the states (federalism)—no exceptions (Article V). This is why enemies of the Republic despise it. They can’t go through it, around it, or over it. They tried. The Constitution also has no language allowing any authority to be passed to a higher government than itself such as the United Nations. Globalists have wanted world government since Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations.
States would not ratify the Constitution without a specific list of things the government could not do to them, a Bill of Rights, arranged in order of their preference—“thou shalt nots.” These include Amendment I the expression rights: religion, speech, press, and assembly specifically were denied governmental control. Amendment II was especially important as it included the right of revolution, the same authority they used to revolt against British tyranny. This could not be denied their posterity should government tyranny again prevail. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms,” was made nonnegotiable, by “shall not be infringed.”
The first three words of the Constitution were “We the People,” Amendment 9 wanted it understood that any “enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,” of the people could never mean that these alone were their rights. It would always be “We the People.”
But Amendment 10 is today probably the most important sentence in the Bill of Rights and in the Constitution as it places the states between the individual and the federal government to protect him/her from federal tyranny. It established federalism as the heart and protector of the Constitution. It defined how the entire Constitution is to be interpreted. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” But today it is one of the least applied sentences.
Finally, every office holder federal, state and local is required to give an oath of allegiance to the Constitution. From the president down to every person employed in the armed services it is in substance similar to the following for the president: “I do solemnly swear … that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United State.”
For these reasons tyranny can never prevail in America with the Constitution as written. But when it is shredded, as is happening, tyranny will reap through American like a whirlwind.

These are unprecedented times. No president has intentionally failed to protect this country from invasion until now. Previous to this time all political parties, would have supported impeachment to rid themselves of this major threat to national security.
The Joe Biden Administration pretend there is no border crisis as a million and a half unvetted invaders coming from at least 150 countries have illegally crossed into the United States during his time in office. America has no southern border. Biden has never been on the border and shows no interest in upholding any of the long established laws regarding it while narcotics and sex traffickers flow freely through. Presently Florida is suing Biden for human trafficking as his administration purposely flies or buses illegals into our cities nation wide.
All this on a border that was more secure under the Trump Administration, largely by building a wall, than at any time in our history. Even now we know of 60,000 illegals, mostly Haitians, approaching our border to overwhelm our border patrol and invade our states, counties, and cities. This would be the second Haitian invasion in six weeks and the Biden Administration has no announced plans to deter them, and in fact by negligence, he encourages their coming.
Does the Constitution allow this? No!! Article IV, Section 4 specifically guarantees each state protection “against invasion.” When taking office the president swears by oath “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” (Article II, Section I, Clause 8). His primary function is to execute the laws passed by Congress: “He shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section III). He refuses! His administration is the greatest threat to the Constitution in U.S. History.
What is the countries recourse when its chief executor openly defies established immigration laws, engages in human trafficking of illegals into the interior, and refuses the primary duty of his office to protect the nation? An unsecured border is America’s biggest national threat. The answer is not to wait three plus years for another “fraudulent” election, there will be no America left to save. Nor is it the 25th Amendment as Kamala Harris appears no more fit for the office than Biden—especially on the subject of illegal immigration. Nor is it Impeachment as the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, constitutionally charged with initiating this process will defy this part of the Constitution as well.
Until one of these options is activated removing him, the only remaining constitutional option and answer is that the states must secure their own borders. Remember, under federalism, implemented with the Constitution, we operate under two co-equal governments federal and state; the federal to govern primarily foreign policy, the state entirely internal interests. Should the federal government refuse to protect the border, an open border translates into a state issue one foot inside.
Arguably a state, with Biden opposition, cannot order federal agencies to protect it from an invasion, but it can use the state militia without his authority. The militia is not the army. It is the people, the citizens, and in the 2nd Continental Congress, even before the Constitution, the militia was defined as every able bodied male 17 years of age and older.
In 1903 the Dick Act clarified the 2nd Amendment definition of militia by dividing it into Part A, the unorganized militia, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed,” and Part B, “a well regulated Militia,” the National Guard. Both “being necessary to the security of a free State.” The organized militia was to remain a separate body from the army and navy and retain its distinct internal function and control under the state legislatures and governors (when they could not be convened) “against domestic violence” (Article IV Section 4). Notice the wording in the Constitution authorizing Congress, “to provide for calling for the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions”—all internal functions (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15). Congress and state legislatures can call it forth.
Unlike the army the militia is allowed to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections including, with state authorization, domestic violence . The Posse Comitatus Act forbids the military these internal functions.
The National Guard was never to be thought of as merely a pool of reserve troops for the army. Impeachment proceedings should have been threatened against President George W. Bush when he treated them as such deploying 100,000 of them in 2005 to Iraq and Afghanistan, when enlistments were not enough, rather than asking Congress to restore the draft. This alteration of the Constitution by blatant ignorance is serious. The National Guard was simply an easy target and no one from either party objected. But it cannot perform its constitutional duty outside the United States. President Barack Obama ordered one-year deployments of Guardsmen in Afghanistan in 2014. Both parties have violated this part of the Constitution.
The rational for a militia separate from the army is very simple. The first line of defense from unwanted aggression is oneself (2nd Amendment), followed by local law enforcement agents, followed by the National Guard guarding the nation from within (2nd Amendment), followed by the military. Biden, by unconstitutionally flying or busing illegals into the interior rather than vetting them fully in Mexico, should motivate all state legislatures to send their Guardsmen to the border immediately. Placing them on the border to repel the coming Haitian invasion would be entirely constitutional. It would also help discourage future invasions.

Vaccine mandates, passports, masks, social distancing, and everything associated with COVID-19 is unconstitutional and therefore unlawful and unenforceable at the federal level. It is also at the state level because of the Bill of Rights, but that requires a future column. Joe Biden’s decree, affecting 80 million Americans, mandating that all employers with more than 100 employees, be vaccinated, or weekly tested for the virus, or their businesses will be fined. This mandate, said to have originated as an OSHA regulation, did not. Nancy Pelosi knows it is not law and thus has included the mandate in the Infrastructural Bill now before Congress.
Even if OSHA had originated the regulation, or Congress succeeds in passing it, states can still nullify the decree or law within its state, according to the 10th Amendment. It reads, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This protects federalism.
The Tenth Amendment restricts the federal government, (the executive, legislative and judicial branches) to the enumeration clause of Section I, Clause 8, which lists the areas in which the federal government can legislate, execute, and adjudicate? All powers not specifically listed, or added later to the Constitution by way of the amendment process outlined in Article V, are left to the states.
This clause divides all federal power into the four following areas: Congress has power to tax, pay debt, provide for the general welfare and common defense. So as to restrict the federal government from enlarging its power, which is its natural tendency to do, the last two grants of power of the four each had an additional eight clauses giving clarity to what was meant by general welfare and national defense.
Even with this clarification, states, fearing that the federal government might still grow at their expense, refused to ratify the Constitution without additional restrictions harnessing it more fully to the enumerated powers, hence the Bill of Rights. These ended with Amendment 10 and the deliberate handcuffs on federal power.
The proper constitutional response is to refuse to recognize it in their state and boldly so declare. It is quick and final. No branch of government was empowered to override federalism. The solution is definitely not to sue the federal government as this only places the decision in another branch of the same federal government, which almost always rules to increase federal power. Once rendered in court, it only makes it more difficult to refuse compliance later. The solution is not to rescind an executive decree or mandate, because such asks a federal entity to do what the executive branch never had power to do in the first place. If Congress has stepped outside the listed powers making a new law, it is not to ask Congress for a law less restrictive, as that implies that they had the power to create law outside listed powers in the first place.
None of these actions preserve separation of power. What does is to honor the Constitution as written and declare boldly that the federal government has no constitutional jurisdiction as the power exercised is not listed in Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 1-18 and has not been added to the Constitution by amendment. Until this, all unlisted power remains with the states.
Founding Fathers James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were each especially vocal with respect to states having the authority to “Just Say No!” to federal law not enumerated. This was the original view of the Constitution. Such was used in 1798 in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolves, in 1832 in the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, and more successfully with the northern states, especially Wisconsin, in 1854 over the highly unconstitutional Fugitive Slave Act. Without a new amendment to the Constitution dealing with health, vaccine mandates, abortion, and many more issues, remain entirely state issues.
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, wrote in The Federalist Papers #46. “Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, … the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union, the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State;” would provide “very serious impediments;” more so if states stood together. This “would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”
Thomas Jefferson wrote in agreement in the Alien and Sedition Acts, “where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy” and “that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits: that without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them.” And, Alexander Hamilton shared, “…the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority” (Federalist Papers #28).
Remember, the states created the federal government in the first place establishing a system called federalism which recognized the principle of dual sovereignty, neither is master or slave to the other. Each viewed state nullification as an important check on unacceptable federal assumption of state powers. No branch of the federal government, not even the Supreme Court, has the constitutional authority to destroy this check. The Constitution will recover confiscated state authority if governors have the fortitude to reject immediately any decree, mandate or law not tied directly to enumerated powers. It is time they do it again. Long term delay give opponents supposed past practice legitimacy which in time can destroy precious parts of the Constitution if not brought back in line.

September has been designated preparedness month. Anyone the least bit observant can see gigantic storms on the horizon. The nation is divided as in 1860, the year before the Civil War. Few families can discuss politics around the dinner table, when everyone comes home, without someone getting angry. Few adults have not chosen one side or the other—there is no middle. There are no nonpartisan elected leaders, college professors, or even religious leaders, although this group mostly try to keep their biases silent and focus on loving one another and Christ, so that congregations do not divide and donations do not dry up.
One side condemns the riots of the summer of 2020 where burning, pillaging, and violence occurred. The other called them “mostly peaceful demonstrations” and focus on the “insurrection” in the Capital building, January 6, although the supposed insurrectionists broke nothing nor hurt anyone. No guns were found in their possession but unarmed Air Force veteran Ashly Babbitt was killed by capital police. Films show them escorted into the building by capital police. Eight months later some arrested, for essentially trespassing, remain in prison without trial. Twice since, fences have been erected around the capital to protect it from phantom insurrectionists.
One side indoctrinates themselves with primarily MSNBC and NBC, the other with Fox News and NewsMax. Today essentially all news is propaganda news. The only break in this is when a hurricane comes through strong enough for the sides to lay down their weapons to barricade their communities from wind and flood.
One side believes COVID-19 was generated in part by American scientists including Anthony Fauci, in the Wuhan laboratory in China, and used to encourage shutdowns and thus mail-in ballots to elect Joe Biden. That much surrounding the pandemic was used by the opposing political party, in conjunction with Big Tech and Big Pharma, to undermined the Constitution and freedom. The other siide view the above as disinformation and censor it all.
One side, convinced that the other cheated in the election of 2020 and every election since, (two Georgia U.S. Senators and governor in California), insists on forensic 2020 audits in all battleground states. They maintain that Donald Trump was rightfully elected president. They also maintain that the Space Force recorded every vote in every county in the nation and are proof positive that China electronically switched Trump votes to Biden. If so, this brings treason into play. The other side censors all such information and refuses all attempts to access ballots or Dominion voting machines to prove otherwise.
The long-awaited Arizona forensic audit, to come out September 24, is expected to produce fireworks when it discloses the above. False flags (staged news events to fill the news cycle to bury this news) are expected; anything: a death of a prominent political leader, an attack by China on Taiwan, hostage taking of Americans left by Biden in Afghanistan, a mass shooting or bombing, anything, to keep the audit off the front page—even a news blackout to keep this story submerged.
When it does come to light expect cities to burn as in the summer of 2020 led by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and not just downtown. Expect travel and commerce restrictions and delays. Expect food prices to escalate further. Since Biden has been in office meat prices have soared: beef 59.2%, pork 34.1%, chicken 32%, fish 18%, and turkey 41.4%. Eggs are now up by 31.7% and grain prices 98% (X22 Reports Episode 2574A Sept. 12, 2021). When the George Soros funded riots move into the suburbs look for truckers to cease deliveries to affected areas and skyrocketing price increases. Factory items, already backed up, could become unavailable. Consider a red October and November and Marshall law in some cities in coming weeks.
Gather a few weeks or months supply of food and essentials for your families now, before preparing is called hoarding and made unlawful, also toilet paper and commonly used medications. Store some water and warm clothing or blankets, should electricity be cut off for more than a few days or weeks. Stock up on all those things that were scarce in the pandemic of 2020. Silly! Extreme! Yes, but eventually if I am wrong, and I pray that I am, you will use these items anyway, so what do you have to lose?
If China was an accomplice intentionally bringing COVID to America and/or electing Joe Biden, both are acts of war and there will be repercussions to them which could escalate to more than just the information war we are now in. As difficult as it is to think this way, consider enduring an EMP or nuclear exchange.
If these people risked treason by stealing the election they are not going to give it back without force. And if we let them get away with it they will do it forever in the future. When free elections vanish so do the Constitution and liberty. The military, under devolution, will have to restore order and freedom. When this is proved Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not likely to be in power long thereafter.
Collusion with an enemy country (China) is treason and those involved will have to be tried in military courts as enemy combatants under devaluation as outlined in two LibertyUnderFire previous columns.
