Martial Law in Disguise: How FDR Hijacked the Constitution [and Every POTUS Since Then Made It Worse]

Excerpt:
"The Constitution wasn’t suspended—it was sidelined, buried under emergency powers, executive orders, and fear, while Americans barely noticed the quiet coup.
...
The story begins with a “banking emergency.” On March 6, 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 2039, effectively closing the banks. This wasn’t a request—it was a national lockdown of the financial system. Within days, Congress passed the Emergency Banking Relief Act, which amended the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 to allow the president to seize private property and control commerce even in peacetime. You read that right. The original act was intended for use against foreign enemies during wartime. Roosevelt’s administration simply redefined the term “enemy” to include American citizens. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s a matter of historical record.
...
Then came House Joint Resolution 192 in June of that same year. This little piece of legal sorcery declared that debts could no longer be paid in gold. Instead, all gold was to be surrendered to the Federal Reserve, and the American public would now transact in fiat currency—Federal Reserve Notes. In one move, Roosevelt erased the gold standard domestically, outlawed the most stable form of lawful money, and replaced it with an I.O.U. The people didn’t protest. They complied. It was all for the good of the nation, they were told. "
==============================
Stop blaming "boomers" for socialist policies.
The Constitution was shat on long before they were born.
Blame isn't on any generation of honest people.
It's on the banking cartel and their pocketed corrupt politicians.
D.C. NIFO
and let NYC bury itself in its own sewage by cutting off the "free money" of the banksters' Federal Reserve Act.

Good article. Thanks for posting, FFA!
"But the Constitution doesn’t give you rights. It recognizes the rights you already have. The paper is not the source. You are."

I think, therefore I am?
Nope. I am, therefore I think.
