Since Texas *is* being actually invaded, then Texas can do all those things it is otherwise precluded from doing:

Texas can Lay duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, ships of war, enter into Agreement or Compact with other States, or with a foreign Power, or engage in war.

It has to be able to do these things, as a matter of course, as a matter of self-preservation, in the event that the federal government is either derelict or defunct or subverted, and an easy argument could be made for all three.

That is PERFECT!!! 😂🤣😂

A perfect threat to cut off access to power from the people who need that access for their influence peddling and affluence.

It’s beautiful.

No other candidate would ever do it or even threaten it, because they’re always selected and paid by the same criminals who launder money through the ‘donors’.

But Trump isn’t owned by them, so he can threaten to cut them off, and mean it, and actually do it.

It’s just beautiful… 😍😂

“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp.”

_____________

Contribution could mean anything — money, time, advice, consultation, security services, transportation, food, essentially any money or in kind service.

If the donor-class has a brain in their wicked evil heads, Mikki’s phone won’t even ring tomorrow.

And no one will answer her calls.

As a matter of self-preservation, anyone who wants access to the money trough during the next 4 years will treat Birdbrain like a political leper.

Persona non grata.

“3. Totally reform FISA courts.”

___________

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
1978 US Congress Act

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 is a United States federal law that establishes procedures for the surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence on domestic soil. FISA was enacted in response to revelations of widespread privacy violations by the federal government under U.S. president Richard Nixon. Wikipedia

___________

So he intends to reform something that is doing the very thing it was created to prevent?

And he doesn’t recognize the obvious problem, or understand that like every agency of government vested with power in human history, its very existence guarantees the abuse of whatever power it is given.

It can never be otherwise, and as total and absolute proof, it has never been otherwise, in all of human history.

Certainly he knows these things.

So the question becomes, if he does not reform it (which is, in fact, impossible), if he instead manages to get Congress to eliminate the FISA Act, then what is there to stop the federal government from violating the privacy rights of Americans?

First, it is irrational to think that a criminal organization, like the federal government, would ever police itself, even if it could, which it can’t. No criminal organization in history has ever held itself accountable to the rule of Law, because humans.

So the answer is not to create or empower a new unit of an inherently criminal and abusive organization (government) to police itself.

The answer is to eliminate the ability for the government to break the law in the first place.

That means radically downsizing government to essential services only, which means those things which are authorized by the Constitution.

Decentralize power to the greatest extent possible.

And then create a Citizen Oversight program for whatever essential government agencies remain. A Citizen Oversight could be something as simple as 9 people who can pass a security clearance and who are paid to serve a term of 30 or 60 or 90 days at most, on a constantly rotating basis — 3 people to an 8 hour shift, three shifts per 24 hours.

Direct Citizen Oversight of every agency of government, at the highest level, every day, around the clock. See-I-A, FIB, IRS, DoJ, every last one (if any of those agencies were specifically authorized by the Constitution, which they’re not). By definition, a government that is created by, of and for the People cannot have anything to hide from the People it was created to serve.

It would be practically impossible to corrupt EVERYONE who serves in a Citizen Oversight position, because by design, no one would be in the inherently corrupt system long enough to be lured into corruption slowly, they would have to be bribed blatantly and quickly, which puts any would-be bribe-offerers at considerable risk.

None of this will happen of course, because we don’t have a Republic or even a Republican form of democracy.

What we have is a de facto dictatorship, and what we are really trying to get, for all practical purposes, is a benevolent dictator.

“4. Establish a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” to declassify and publish all documents on the deep state’s spying, censorship, and corruption.”

___________

If that commission is run by politicians, by the criminals within the system, then it’s just more of the fox guarding the hen house.

We don’t need another commission, what we need is a presidential order executed by men with guns marching into the headquarters of every agency that refuses to release documents immediately.

“5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with “fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and subvert our government and democracy.””

_________

It would be easier and more effective to expose the fake news industry. Show the American people how all mainstream news media is owned by approximately 6 corporations.

Show how those corporations are all working together, pushing the same political narratives and hiding the same real news from the People.

Classify it as a monopoly and break up the ownership from 6 companies to hundreds of individual companies competing against each other.

Prosecute everyone in fake news under the RICO Act and for Treason.
