A friendly Reminder

One of the most persistent and misleading assumptions in modern political discourse is that America is a democracy. But this was never the vision of our Founders.

By attorney Michael Peroutka  What is the recourse for a patriotic citizenry when those who are entrusted with upholding the law conspire together to use the law to break the law? The answer for our Founders – and for us – is the Doctrine of Interposition.  The Declaration of Independence is a document of interposition. Under that doctrine, the local magistrate is duty bound to defend against the oppression of the tyrant by interposing on behalf of the people he represents. T

(August, 2021) Last week, Larry Hogan announced that he will require employees in 48 different Maryland state facilities to be injected with an experimental gene therapy.  If they refuse, they will be subject to strict mask requirements and frequent invasive testing. Summarizing his tyrannical and treasonous policy, he blurted “Just get the damned vaccination!” This was a paraphrase of his earlier policy when he curtly ordered Marylanders to “Just wear the damned mask!” Sadly

by Michael Peroutka If your country was under attack in a “regular war”, there are some things you might expect your enemy to try to do.    For example, you would expect your enemy to try to destroy your cities; making them unsafe places to live and to work.    You would expect your enemy to commandeer your public information system; using it to disseminate their propaganda.    Your enemy would also try to disrupt your private communication systems; censoring ideas which oppo

by Michael Peroutka Mark twain wrote that it is “…easier to fool people than to convince people that they have been fooled.” I am now convinced that you and I have been fooled. Did you know that the number of Americans who died in 2020 did not increase from the prior year?  How can this be? How can a health emergency – a pandemic-- which government and media reported as so serious and so threatening that it necessitated the false imprisonment of the people; And, the economi

The Whole "Pandemic" is a Lie by Michael Peroutka Watch the video article  here. The World Health Organization has recently confirmed that the Covid-19 PCR test is a flawed procedure. This means that all the estimates of “Positive Cases”, which you have been hearing about incessantly for more than a year, are totally meaningless. This, in turn, means that the worldwide lockdown has no scientific basis. This also means that social distancing and mask wearing likewise have no s

by Michael Peroutka The Maryland Constitution is the supreme law of the state. Every elected official-every law enforcement officer - every judge- every civil servant- every citizen- everyone is subject to its terms.  No one is exempt. No circumstance - No emergency – No pandemic (real or invented) - provides justification for any public officer to set aside or suspend its application. But, apparently, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler and Assistant State’s Attorney Loga

by Michael Peroutka Watch the Commentary Here When the founders of America decided to secure the Blessings of liberty for themselves and for future generations, they took up arms and risked their lives and fortunes in that noble cause. They were willing to fight and die and otherwise suffer extreme deprivation for the benefit of those that came after them… That is to say… for you and me. Even though they never met you or me, they sacrificed immensely for us. Today, America is

Why the Carrot and the Stick? by Michael Peroutka Watch the Video Here Joe Biden, and those for whom he acts and speaks, want you to keep living in fear of a fake pandemic and to keep wearing a useless facemask as a sign of your submission to their will. They are so desperate about getting you to be a guinea pig in their experiment on humanity they are offering bribes, ranging from lottery tickets to free hunting licenses, to get you to submit to a human experiment that they

Using the Law to Break the Law by Michael Peroutka  In their struggle to preserve the Blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity, patriotic Americans have faced many difficulties, disruptions, and dilemmas over more than four hundred years. Not surprisingly, the current American dilemma is strikingly similar with those faced by American Founders like Adams, Jefferson, and Washington. It comes down to this: What is the recourse for a patriotic citizenry when tho

by Michael Peroutka In the course of my years on this earth, I have been blessed with a loving and caring family, as well as many friends whose opinions and judgment I rely upon. But I must admit that the events of this past year have placed a massive strain on many cherished relationships.  I am becoming more convinced that we are experiencing a mass hysteria—an act of war--which has been purposely and demonically inflicted by enemies of our Constitutional Republic and the B
