The State Stole Your Crown — And You Let It Happen

Let’s stop pretending this system is broken by accident.
It is working exactly as designed — just not for you.
The 10th Amendment is clear, even if the state hopes you never read it closely. Power was not granted exclusively to government. It was reserved to the states or to the people. That means the people were never meant to be beneath the state. The people were meant to be equal to it.
So how did we end up here?
Because the state didn’t take your power by force.
It tricked you into surrendering it.
No honest contract.
No clear explanation.
No signed agreement where you received a copy and retained your authority.
Instead, they buried it in paperwork, legal jargon, bureaucracy, and time. They let generations grow up believing obedience was citizenship and compliance was patriotism. Slowly, quietly, your crown was taken — and once it was gone, you were no longer treated as a sovereign participant in governance.
You became a subject.
After that, the state did what it always does: it redistributed your power to local governments and law enforcement agencies and told you they had authority over you. And now they do — not because they earned it, but because you were deceived into giving it away.
That is how citizens are reduced to peasants.
And let’s be clear: this is not a coincidence or a conspiracy theory. This is a historical pattern. Every state in this country used tactics that mirror what was done to Indigenous people — confusing paperwork, deceptive agreements, and systems designed to benefit the ruling body while stripping autonomy from the governed.
Different targets. Same strategy.
What they never want you to realize is this:
The people still retain the right to redefine or dissolve their political relationship with the state.
Power doesn’t vanish just because it’s ignored. It doesn’t belong to politicians just because they say it does. Power belongs to the people — and it always has.
Now let’s talk about the people standing in the way.
Senators.
Congress members.
Career politicians who smile for cameras and vote against your interests behind closed doors.
These people do not represent you. If they did, we wouldn’t be drowning in corruption, surveillance, over-policing, and economic exploitation while they enrich themselves and protect their own.
Stop believing they will fix a system that benefits them.
They won’t.
That’s why every one of them has to go.
Not replaced with new faces running on the same empty promises — but removed so the system itself can be rebuilt from the ground up, for the people, not above them.
And let’s kill the biggest lie of all: unity only during war.
Why do we only come together when a foreign enemy appears? Why is our unity always reactive, temporary, and rooted in fear?
Real unity isn’t forged in war.
It’s forged when the people wake up, reclaim their authority, and demand a government that serves them — not rules them.
This country does not need saving.
It needs reclaiming.
And that starts when the people remember who was supposed to wear the crown in the first place.
