Opening Insights: Asylum for Liberty<\/h2>\n

There shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth, for civil and religious liberty...<\/em>
SAM ADAMS<\/p>\n

The way our constitution was designed allows for the states to override the federal government's power if necessary. In fact, it encourages them to do so. Across the nation conscientious communities are waking to this reality and taking steps to actively defend themselves and their neighbors against the tyranny of government overreach.<\/p>\n

Is it possible that the states of the American union are prepared to unite once again?<\/p>\n

The following article was published by The Blaze, \u201cone of the nation's largest independent media companies.\u201d It was presented by Daniel Horowitz<\/a>, a senior editor for The Blaze.<\/p>\n

Informational Insights: Can't Bully US<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Let us remember that if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom. It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers in the event.\"<\/em> ~Sam Adams, Oct. 14, 1771<\/a><\/p>\n

All politics is local. That is a principle patriots will have to use and maximize to its fullest extent in the coming weeks. As the federal government and many state governments violate the Constitution with COVID fascism and, likely soon, by clamping down on protected political speech, local law enforcement and elected officials will have to step up to the plate and defend our constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

Trump won 83% of the counties, in addition to roughly half the states. There is no reason why each one should not become a constitutional sanctuary. If the local sheriff, county commissioners, county executive, school board officials, and prosecutor are all in favor of declaring the county a sanctuary from civil liberties violations, then \"there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth, for civil and religious liberty,\" as Sam Adams predicted<\/a> when embarking in the struggle for independence.<\/p>\n

The constitutional sanctuary movement that started with the Second Amendment is gradually moving into COVID fascism and hopefully will be used to push back against any tyranny at the federal level in the coming months.<\/p>\n

On Monday night, the Monument Board of Trustees declared Monument, Colorado, to be a sanctuary from restrictions on businesses. This small town in El Paso County voted<\/a> 7-0 on \"A resolution reasserting the rights of the Town of Monument and its residents and condemning the unconstitutional limitations imposed upon their freedoms by the governor of Colorado.\"<\/p>\n

Specifically, the resolution announced the town will \"not abide by any executive orders limiting attendance of and free speech at public meetings within the town.<\/strong>\" The trustees called upon each individual business owner to assess his own risk level and willingness to butt heads with the state government.<\/p>\n

This is a good start, but county and town governments need to make it clear that they will unite and resist unconstitutional orders against state authorities. We must stop saying things are unconstitutional and then treat them as if they are constitutional. Either \"life, liberty, and property\" have meaning or not.<\/p>\n

To that end, all of the officials in Bargara County, Michigan, a rural area in the Upper Peninsula, united in a letter declaring Governor Whitmer's orders unconstitutional. The letter, which was posted on County Sheriff Joe Brogan's Facebook page<\/a>, noted how the people have not endured such tyranny since the settlement of this continent. \"Our citizens' rights to assemble, to freely practice their religion, to travel, to keep their property, businesses, and jobs, even to dress as they please have all been swept aside, and to what end?\" declared the letter, which was signed by the county commissioners, prosecutor, clerk, and treasurer.<\/p>\n

The sheriff notes that every state and local official swears an oath to the Constitution. If these measures are not unconstitutional, especially after 10 months of utter failure to even move the needle on taming the spread of the virus, then that document quite clearly has no meaning. \"We hereby put the state of Michigan on NOTICE that we have no intention of participating in the unconstitutional destruction of our citizens' economic security and Liberty,\" continued the letter. \"We further declare our intention to take no action whatsoever in furtherance of this terribly misguided agenda.\"<\/p>\n

Another Upper Peninsula county, Delta, passed a resolution<\/a> supporting the right of businesses to open their establishments. There are a number of cities and counties across the country now considering these resolutions in addition to the nearly one-third of counties that have already declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries. SanctuaryCounties.com<\/a> is keeping track of these developments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What ultimately needs to happen is that, pursuant to the doctrine of lesser magistrates, communities work together with all their local officials to actively<\/em> defend \u2013 both legally and morally \u2013 business owners who are attacked by state or potentially federal officials.<\/strong> Republicans control 31 state legislatures. They have an obligation to pass sanctuary resolutions statewide. In many of those states they have supermajorities to override the veto of a Democrat or RINO governor.<\/p>\n

Every county, state, and federal official swears an oath to uphold the Constitution \u2014 the same oath taken by federal judges \u2014 no more, no less. In justifying why federal courts should have concurrent (not exclusive, as some erroneously think) jurisdiction over constitutional interpretation instead of upholding even unconstitutional laws passed by the legislature, Justice John Marshall pointed to this very oath. \"How immoral to impose it on them if they were to be used as the instruments, and the knowing instruments, for violating what they swear to support!\" declared an indignant Marshall in his famous Marbury<\/em> opinion.<\/p>\n

In defense of judicial review, Marshall rhetorically asked, \"Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the Constitution of the United States if that Constitution forms no rule for his government? If it is closed upon him and cannot be inspected by him?\"<\/p>\n

Well, as state officials swear the same oath and wield even more robust power directly affecting the lives of citizens than judges do, don't they have the same obligation to use their powers to counter illegal executive edicts that impose the most unconstitutional social changes imaginable? Changes to our law and society that violate the foundation of natural law and nature's God, to whom that oath is directed?<\/p>\n

If California and New York were able to offer sanctuary to the most vile criminal aliens \u2013 and even criminalize the enforcement of duly passed immigration law \u2013 then most certainly red counties and states can and must be sanctuaries for American businessmen, schoolchildren, and the Bill of Rights from the clutches of evil and illegal executive power.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Possibilities for Consideration: United States of America<\/h2>\n

To stand against the immense power behind the technology, internet and financial organizations that are now in charge of our government, education institutions and most aspects of our daily lives, we must get smarter and do it together.<\/p>\n

SanctuaryCounties.com<\/a> is keeping track of the counties that are taking the constitutional protections for freedom seriously.<\/strong> AwareComm\u00ae offers a platform that provides the resources and the guidance for those looking to unite and take back their freedom and liberty. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that we need a solution, in this new environment nobody knows who\/what to trust, everybody is angry, nobody listens, commerce stops, efficiency diminishes, nobody cares.<\/p>\n

Our culture consists of perception, attitude, thinking and behavior and we have created a culture now rooted in distrust, fear and anger.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The following models illustrate the psychology of fear <\/strong>and control <\/strong>
being used to force America to its knees.<\/p>\n

Whatever we do, however we do it, this becomes the basis for how we will build relationships at home, work, worship and play. These models will permeate all dimensions of our lives and must be reversed if our communities and our country are to survive.<\/p>\n

The Real Solution: Founded in Spiritual Principles<\/h2>\n

A real solution, fully developed (tested, proven and paid for), is found in AwareComm's proprietary Adaptive Intelligence (AdI™) algorithm. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The AdI™ algorithm aligns with the intent of Pope Francis's call for a 'Good Algorithm,'<\/a> to reverse the damage done by the irresponsible use of technology.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rebuilding Community Commerce - - Rebuilding the Soul of a Community<\/strong><\/p>\n

AwareComm's AdI™ algorithm is available in a community Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Research and ePublishing Institute, where people learn to take charge of their communities by transcending adversity <\/strong>to diversity <\/strong>and solidarity <\/strong>through the application of responsible commerce<\/em>. Success is assured by applying the principles of Adaptive Intelligence to entrepreneurial thinking using socially responsible capitalism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

What comes from an established foundation of commerce rooted in spiritual principles and AdI™ is a new business model. This business model, for the application of Socially Responsible Capitalism, is our theme and driving inspiration.<\/p>\n

A Co-Lab™ is the implementation mechanism of the result of 30+ years of field research.<\/p>\n

Co-Labs™ create an environment conducive to learning, solidarity and change (old ideas are more quickly learned and new ideas are more quickly accepted and implemented).<\/p>\n

Our Next Step<\/h2>\n

The AwareComm\u00ae Team is attracting partners in order to awaken in the people a desire for peace and solidarity as a way to fulfill their personal needs.<\/p>\n

Through a careful blend of AI + BI + HI + SI the Co-Lab™ Research Institute has the correct balance of technology, methodology, human understanding, spiritual principles and data science to put us on the right track to individual social and cultural empowerment.<\/p>\n
