A friendly Reminder

The Most Lethal Weapon (April, 2021) by Michael Peroutka   Dear Friends of the American Constitutional Republic: 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 h

Ignorance is not Bliss (Continued by Michael Peroutka by Michael Peroutka   Dear Friends  of the Constitutional Republic:   Our friend, Paul Engel, has recently posted an article on the American View website entitled “Ignorance is not Bliss”.    In that article Mr. Engel argues that even though face mask orders by governors or other government officials are unlawful, private business owners are nonetheless acting within their rights to require their business invitees to compl

Which Law Do I Follow? by Michael Anthony Peroutka   IOTC Co-Founder, Michael Anthony Peroutka presents a lecture at the Spring 2021 Conference of the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association, titled, "Which Law Do I Follow?"

Ignorance is Not Bliss by Paul Engel   Summary  ·         Defiance of mask mandate ends poorly for a woman in Galveston, TX. ·         The difference between private and public property a deciding factor for a woman’s arrest. ·         Everyone needs to understand not only how to assert their rights, but how to do it properly.   I recently saw the  body cam video  of a Galveston, TX police officer arresting a woman for not wearing a mask in a local bank. While many seem app

What To Do With This Election C&E Interview with Michael Peroutka Following Michael Peroutka's previous Facebook live, the Casey and Elliot radio show decided to feature Michael and speak about the steps President Trump can take to resolve the unconstitutional occurrences of this past election. A suggestion Michael once again makes is the possibility of military action against these unlawful tyrants... Listen here!

Training Up Nazis by Michael Peroutka There are many who are calling for the public schools to reopen.  I am not among them.  Here is why. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, the atrocities of the Nazi regime were fresh in the minds of the generation that preceded mine. I recall quite clearly my parents and grandparents discussing and wondering how the German people could have countenanced the brutal and inhuman treatment of fellow human beings. They were also

Questions to Ask a Candidate by Michael Peroutka What do you say when someone running for office asks for your vote? Let’s say someone knocks at your door and they smile and tell you that they are running for State Delegate or State Representative or State Senate, or maybe for some County office like County Council or Sheriff. Maybe they are running for Congress or the US Senate.Let’s say you know little about them except that they are polite and make a nice appearance. They

FACE MASK LAWS ARE PRETENDED LEGISLATION by Michael Peroutka There is no law that requires you to wear a facemask. Likewise, there is no law that requires a place of business to require you to wear a facemask while visiting their property.    If there was such a law in Maryland, it would be the result of a constitutional legislative process whereby both houses of the Maryland General Assembly voted on it favorably. *1   If it then received the Governor’s signature it would be

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT  by Michael Peroutka                                       Sometimes the simple, straightforward truth is hard to recognize.  Sometimes the answer is so patently clear that we just cannot see it. For the past eleven weeks the churches in America have been ordered to remain closed under the threat of fines and punishments by civil government officials. Some church services have been interrupted and some pastors have even been arrested for disobeying what

DEAR GOVERNOR, WHY DO WE NEED ALL THIS TESTING? by Michael Peroutka Dear Governor, I am just a little confused.  If the covid-19 recovery rates among the vast majority of the populace are beyond the 99 th percentile, then why do we need to be testing and tracking and mapping and spending resources (we have long ago depleted) on finding out who has already had it? Just what are we trying to accomplish by this? If the testing reveals that more people have been exposed (than w

GOVERNMENT MUST DRIVE CAREFULLY   by Michael Peroutka   During a recent vacation in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains I was driving on a long and winding downgrade at about 70 miles per hour when a very unusual and disturbing thing happened.    Suddenly, the striped white lines which had divided the lanes of traffic --disappeared.  With the lane dividers gone, I suddenly became much more aware of the road – and the huge trucks which were hurtling down the steep grade alo

PENNSYLVANIA POLICE CHIEF NULLIFIES GUN CONTROL IN HIS JURISDICTION by Michael  Peroutka  At a recent convention of The Constitutional Sheriffs and Police officers Association (CSPOA) in St. Louis, more than 200 law enforcement officers, state lawmakers, county officials and concerned citizens gathered to discuss strategies to resist and to nullify the lawless actions of the federal government, and of many state governments, particularly in the area of gun control. The rema

FREE PHONES by Michael Peroutka   Look, I know you don’t need one more example of out of control government, but have you heard about what’s being called the “Obamaphone”?   Did you realize that state and federal governments are using your tax dollars to give free phones and phone service to welfare recipients?   We are 14 trillion dollars in debt, and your government rolling out yet another unconstitutional - that is to say unlawful - that is to say criminal - scheme to buy

SENATOR RAND PAUL IS RIGHT ABOUT THE NSA BUT WRONG ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT by Michael Peroutka   United States Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is outraged about the surveillance activities of the National Security Agency which has been caught red-handed collecting vast troves of data on American citizens in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. In fact, information has come to light showing that the NSA violated even its own privacy standards upwards of thousa

THE FUNCTIONS OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT by Michael Peroutka There is a God.  Our rights come from Him. The purpose of civil government is to protect and secure God given rights. This is the American View of Law and Government.  It is also the Christian View.  It is set forth very concisely and precisely in our Declaration of Independence.  Under this Christian, American view, civil government is charged with two principle functions. First, civil government is responsible for prote

TO BE CONSERVATIVE MEANS NOTHING by Michael Peroutka   Are You a Conservative?  Do you consider yourself a liberal?  If you find yourself either of these terms when discussing your political worldview, you may have fallen into a trap.   Let me explain.   When the President or any elected or appointed official takes his oath of office, he invokes the wrath of God against him if he acts unfaithfully to that oath.  This is a serious thing and so a specific standard is pronounce

OBAMACARE AND THE CONSTITUTION: MORE THAN JUST A BAD IDEA by Michael Peroutka Many Americans are angry about the health care takeover that Congress and the Obama White House have tried to ram down their throats. This is not surprising. Many claim that the Obama scheme is a disaster and a very bad idea for America’s future.  They say it will bring much suffering and sickness and death for you and for your family. We agree that it is a bad plan and an unconstitutional plan. Bu

WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A HERO by Michael Peroutka What makes someone a hero? Is it just the fact that they died while trying to accomplish a task? I don’t think so.   If someone was killed in the process of kidnapping your little girl, I don’t think you’d label him as a hero. If someone dies while in military uniform and following the orders of his commanding officers, does that make him a hero? Again, I don’t think so.  The Nazi officers and soldiers who slaughtered 6 million J

WHO IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN by Michael Peroutka On April 27, 2011, the White House released the long form of Barak Obama’s birth certificate.  According to Barak Obama himself, this was supposed to settle the issue of his birthplace and end what he termed a major distraction to the more important issues facing the country. As if on cue, three days later, Barak Obama stepped to the same microphone and announced that he had ordered the killing of a non US citizen in Pakistan

ROMNEY IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE TO OBAMA by Michael Peroutka Most Americans who care about their country know that there is something very wrong with its civil government.  Many would agree that we are losing the rule of law. No matter whether we elect Democrats or Republicans, the steady march away from lawful government continues. In recent commentaries, I have pointed out that if we elect Romney and Ryan, their voting records and their statements indicate that they will cont
