How Wearing a Mask Relates to Social Chaos

Posted on June 29, 2020January 23, 2021 by Carla Pittman

This sort of warfare has been going on insidiously in the background since before I was born. More than fifty years after the original paper, the Cloward-Piven strategy is finally coming to full fruition. Obeying the admonition of Obama staffer Rahm Emanuel that they should “never let a serious crisis go to waste,” the media wasted no time frightening us into submission when a novel coronavirus mysteriously appeared in Wuhan, China last year. Now we are all wearing masks and staying six feet away from each other while businesses go bankrupt and individuals whose jobs are deemed “nonessential” have no income. This gave the government an opportunity to ride to the rescue with stimulus checks for everyone. See how that works? Now welfare includes you and me.

The Preamble to the Constitution

Posted on June 18, 2020January 18, 2022 by Carla Pittman

This new nation was setting forth the idea that the authority came from below, from the consent of the governed. That had never been tried in the history of the world, and the delegates knew it. Let me introduce you to a few key players and their ideas. In this series I will explore the Preamble to the Constitution by finding out what its contributors thought about it.

Retain Your Rights!

If you don’t see it on the list, our founders did not intend it to be there. They wanted the people to have all the powers not given to the states or the central government.

The Seventh and Eighth Amendments to the US Constitution

Posted on June 14, 2020January 22, 2022 by Carla Pittman

Fines are viewed by the court as punishment for a misdeed and should be in accordance with the scope of the violation; a minor offense should not cause large fines that cripple the person charged. This is called proportionality. Courts must take into account the nature of the offense, the scope of the damage caused by the offense, and the character of the offender.

The Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution

Posted on June 12, 2020January 23, 2021 by Carla Pittman

Interpretation of the law develops as judges decide cases and write opinions explaining their reasoning. Gradually the right to obtain counsel on your own became the right to have it provided if you could not afford it. The complexity of the law and the judicial system make it so difficult to navigate that a person not specifically trained in legal matters is likely to fail to understand subtle points, and this could lead to an inadequate defense for a person who might be innocent of the stated charges.

The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution

Posted on June 4, 2020January 23, 2021 by Carla Pittman

“Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” This is the expectation for testifying in court: that you tell the truth without embellishment or omission. Failure to tell the truth in court is perjury, a punishable offense. There is an exception, however. You can plead the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, which states that you shall not be compelled in any criminal case to witness against yourself.

Are You Secure Against Unreasonable Search and Seizure?

The debate over privacy is ongoing. Unreasonable search and seizure includes information as well as physical property. Keep abreast of the actions of Congress. You never know what they are going to do next.

The Sanctity of Your Home

The Third Amendment to the Constitution is so well accepted that there has never been a Supreme Court Case about it. We can all agree that the government does not need your home to house its soldiers. But what else are we inviting into our homes today?

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Posted on May 27, 2020June 17, 2024 by Carla Pittman

If the government takes your property, or infringes your right to assemble peaceably, or denies your right to exercise your religious beliefs, don’t take it! File a lawsuit and make the courts deliberate on the issue.

My husband Chris and I are launching a new website today: https://doubleeaglegunworks.com. We have two purposes: he is starting a business called Double Eagle Gunworks to provide firearms training to our community.
