Until recently, I didn\u2019t know the exact nature of the secret weapon but was told by highly reliable sources that plans were already in place for Trump to defeat the Democrats and protect America from left-wing efforts to destroy this nation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-1 ai-viewport-2\">\n<div class=\"pi_122214 powerinbox\">\n<div class=\"pi_au\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now we\u2019ve been able to confirm the content of this \u201csecret weapon\u201d that will be invoked to save America. It\u2019s the\u00a0<em>Fourteenth Amendment<\/em>\u00a0to the Constitution of the United States of America.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Fourteenth Amendment grants Trump the power to strip power away from treasonous domestic enemies<\/h2>\n<p>The Fourteenth Amendment \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-14\/\">see the full text here<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 speaks directly to the powers of the federal government in dealing with officials, individuals and states that are engaged in \u201crebellion\u201d against the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the Fourteenth Amendment grants the U.S. President the power to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arrest and indefinitely hold all public officials \u2014 including mayors, governors, state legislators,\u00a0<strong>federal judges<\/strong>\u00a0and law enforcement officials \u2014 who support \u201crebellion\u201d against the United States or who have \u201cgiven aid or comfort\u201d to the enemies of America. (Section 3)<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate House of Representatives positions for California and other states which are engaged in supporting Big Tech censorship platforms that are supporting rebellion against the United States of America and \u201cabridging\u201d the right of voting-aged citizens to participate in elections (via censorship). This implies that Electoral College votes would also be proportionally reduced in these states. (Section 2) It would also apply to states like Oregon which are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-09-05-antifa-war-encampment-found-portland-agitators-chaos-tents.html\">reportedly funding \u201cwar encampment\u201d installations<\/a>\u00a0that house insurrectionists who are unleashed each night to attack federal buildings and federal law enforcement officers.<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate all federal financial support for cities and states which are engaged in \u201cinsurrection or rebellion\u201d against the United States. Section 3 specifically states that all such claims of federal money obligations to the states \u201cshall be held illegal and void.\u201d (Section 4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In essence, the Fourteenth Amendment grants American citizens \u201cequal protection\u201d under law, but for public officials or states which are engaged in \u201cinsurrection or rebellion\u201d against the United States, those equal protections are revoked.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats already know all this, which is why they are pursuing a plan of election chaos, hoping to throw the entire election process into mass confusion, from which they plan to attempt an illegal coup to eliminate Trump from office and claim political power over the nation.<\/p>\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.brighteon.com\/embed\/d18574a7-2da1-47a4-ae2c-6d05c0393fac\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<h2>Many Democrat-run states are already in open rebellion, aiding and comforting illegal insurrectionists who are attempting to overthrow the United States government<\/h2>\n<p>It should be rather obvious that at this very moment, California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois and many other states are engaged in open rebellion against the United States, and that thousands of public officials within those states \u2014 mayors, governors, state legislators, police chiefs, etc. \u2014 are granting \u201caid or comfort\u201d to the rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump merely needs to declare an insurrection, then he can have Mayor Lightfoot (Chicago), Mayor Wheeler (Portland), Mayor Durkan (Seattle) and even de Blasio (NYC) arrested and removed from office for violating their oaths of office. All those mayors (and many more) have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, but they have violated their oaths, and under the Fourteenth Amendment that means\u00a0<strong>they have nullified their own right to equal protection under the law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3 ai-viewport-1 ai-viewport-2\">\n<div class=\"pi_122212 powerinbox\">\n<div class=\"pi_au\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Because they violated the U.S. Constitution and actively engaged in rebellion against the United States, in other words, they no longer enjoy the benefits of protections under the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, President Trump can\u00a0<strong>eliminate congressional House seats for states that support rebellion<\/strong>, reducing their apportionment in the House. This means the states\u2019 Electoral College votes are also reduced, since those numbers are based on the number of House + Senate representatives for each state. This is based on the fact that these states are aiding the efforts of Big Teach to deny the rights of conservatives to participate in elections and voting, via politically-targeted censorship and voter suppression tactics now routinely used by Google, Facebook and other tech giants.<\/p>\n<p>Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment specifically addresses voter suppression. It says that states which support the suppression of the ability of citizens to participate in voting will lose a portion of their own seats in Congress as well as Electoral College representation. Right now, the most overt and obvious voter suppression is being carried out by Big Tech platforms such as Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube, but similar censorship is also being undertaken by Microsoft, Apple, Vimeo and other tech giants. These companies are granted aid and comfort by numerous left-wing cities and states which often grant these companies property tax deferments and legal protections against legitimate investigations or prosecutions. In other words, states like California are actively protecting the Big Tech platforms that are suppressing voter participation via politically-targeted censorship. And this puts California in violation of Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201c<em>Even if Trump declares the insurrection just one day before the election, this grants him a basis from which he may challenge the Electoral College votes from insurrectionist states like California\u201d.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Furthermore, President Trump can\u00a0<strong>arrest and imprison all state and federal judges<\/strong>who have granted \u201caid or comfort\u201d to insurrectionists by, for example, releasing them without charge after they were arrested for participating in riots or assaulting law enforcement officers. This means all Soros-funded District Attorneys and anti-America judges who have supported the insurrection can now be arrested and removed from office in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Democrat officials in Oregon, Washington, California, New York, Illinois and other states have overtly granted protections \u2014 and in some cases, actual funding \u2014 to Black Lives Matter terrorists. This means these officials are complicit in \u201crebellion\u201d against the United States. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment states that they cannot hold any public office, \u201ccivil or military.\u201d Here\u2019s the language: (emphasis added)<\/p>\n<p><em>No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States,\u00a0<strong>shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Finally, Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment says, \u201c\u2026neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.\u201d This means that cities and states which are suffering extreme economic losses due to their support for rioting and insurrection \u2014 such as Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc.) \u2014 cannot make any claim to federal money to reimburse them for their losses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their losses have been incurred as a result of their support for acts of insurrection and rebellion<\/strong> against the United States, and thus the United States has no obligation to reimburse them for such losses.\\<\/p>\n<p>All this explains why Nancy Pelosi recently declared President Trump and the GOP to be \u201cenemies of the state.\u201d This is the kind of language that would only be used by the Speaker of the House if they intend to attempt a violent coup followed by mass exterminations of their political opponents:<\/p>\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.brighteon.com\/embed\/9b4355cc-d173-485e-82bc-7f1814475868\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<h2>To initiate all this, Trump merely needs to officially declare an insurrection is under way<\/h2>\n<p>The reason Democrats went insane when Trump won the 2016 election is because holding the office of the presidency grants that person access to all the powers that the U.S. Constitution (and subsequent law) confers to the president.<\/p>\n<p>One of those powers is the power to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Insurrection_Act_of_1807\">declare an\u00a0<em>insurrection<\/em><\/a>\u00a0against the government. Such a declaration unleashes enormous powers of government which are then directed by the president against the domestic enemies which are waging war against the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It is now rather obvious that\u00a0<strong>we are already in that war<\/strong>, which is being waged by radical, extreme left-wing terrorists on a nightly basis. That war is\u00a0<strong>supported and aided by the tech giants<\/strong>\u00a0who censor all critics of the insurrectionists while aiding their acts of treason by allowing their platforms to be used to coordinate attacks against America.<\/p>\n<p>Left-wing mayors, governors, judges, state representatives and other oath-swearing officials are also openly engaged in insurrection against the United States, and Trump\u2019s declaration of an open insurrection will enable them all to be arrested and removed from power.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16411\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?resize=1450,725\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?resize=1536%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1450\" height=\"725\" data-attachment-id=\"16411\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.agenda21radio.news\/2020\/09\/07\/trumps-secret-weapon-the-14th-amendment-allows-the-president-to-strip-electoral-college-votes-from-states-supporting-censorship-against-voters-enables-mass-arrests-of-mayo\/trump-insurrection-act-1807\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?fit=1600%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trump-insurrection-act-1807\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?fit=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.agenda21radio.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/trump-insurrection-act-1807.jpg?fit=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Insurrection Act of 1807 and the 14th Amendment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is what Trump must do to save America. It is unlikely that he will declare an insurrection before the election, however. This action seems likely to occur\u00a0<em>after<\/em>\u00a0the election.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Trump should declare an insurrection the day before the election<\/h2>\n<p>Strategically speaking, we urge President Trump to declare the insurrection\u00a0<em>before<\/em>\u00a0the election, because this would allow him to challenge the Electoral College votes from states which are supporting open rebellion against the United States (for all the reasons noted above). Even if Trump declares the insurrection just one day before the election, this grants him a basis from which he may challenge the Electoral College votes from insurrectionist states like California.<\/p>\n<p>It also grants Trump the opportunity to arrest all the corrupt, left-wing officials the day\u00a0<em>after<\/em>the election, shutting down their criminal attempts to counterfeit ballots after the fact that try to \u201cwin\u201d by cheating in the weeks following the election itself. Trump can largely shut down that effort by simply declaring an insurrection and arresting all these treasonous actors the day after the election. They cannot counterfeit more ballots, after all, if they\u2019re sitting in jail.<\/p>\n<p>This action would, of course, cause the radical Left to ignite an attempted nationwide kinetic war against the government, but at that point Trump is free to issue escalated engagement orders for federal law enforcement while even bringing in the U.S. military to halt all domestic enemies of the United States who are engaged in acts of treason or warfare against America (deploying the military to defeat domestic enemies of America does not violate\u00a0<em>Posse Comitatus<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Remember when I told you a year ago that when martial law comes to America,\u00a0<strong>you will beg for it?<\/strong>\u00a0Now you understand why. When the radical Left unleashes yet more violence, arson, looting, property destruction and anarchy across America, most reasonable Americans will fully support temporarily martial law and even military action on the streets of America to clean out the insurrectionists and restore civility to this nation.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump also has the NDAA, signed into law by Obama to imprison Americans who opposed the Clinton regime<\/h2>\n<p>The Fourteenth Amendment is the key to all this. But alongside it, don\u2019t forget that Barack Obama signed into law the NDAA which was intended to be handed over to Hillary Clinton as a weapon against patriots and conservatives. Now, that government weapon is in the hands of Trump, and he can deploy it against communist sympathizers and treasonous insurrectionists.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some of the FEMA camp activity being widely reported now, I believe, is actually all about gearing up these camps to house left-wing traitors who are arrested\u00a0<em>en masse<\/em>\u00a0in the coming months. These irrational, insane, lawless lunatics cannot be rehabilitated to rejoin civil society. At best, the nation will have to warehouse them in prison camps for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way that you can\u2019t teach a pigeon to play chess, and you can\u2019t teach a pig to sing, you can\u2019t teach a Leftist how to function in civil society. They no longer operate in the realms of reason, civility, fairness or freedom. All they know us authoritarianism and violence, which explains why they will have to be isolated from society for the rest of their lives. This is what their parents, school teachers and college professors taught them, of course: How to be crybullies and terrorists, not how to function as reasonable citizens in a free society.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Democrats will fail to destroy America, but succeed in destroying their own cities and states<\/h2>\n<p>Despite their best efforts to bring this nation to its knees, Democrats are going to fail in their attempts to destroy America. They will succeed, however, in gutting their own cities and causing an economic implosion that will see most of America\u2019s left-wing cities plunged into Third World status over the next five years. California can barely even keep the lights on as it is. Just wait until they come up $100 billion short for this year\u2019s budget and can\u2019t force Trump to bail them out with federal money.\u00a0<strong>The mass government layoffs and pension slashing efforts are about to begin<\/strong>\u00a0in Democrat-run states like New York and California. It will be brutal, and any income earner who has the ability to flee such states is already in the process of bugging out, leaving behind ghost town cities filled with criminals, homeless people, left-wing terrorists and impoverished welfare recipients.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Democrats will end up imploding and destroying their own future. After the failed insurrection attempt, the Democrat party will be disbanded, and thousands of former Democrat officials will either be dead or imprisoned. This is the fate they have chosen, since they refuse to live in peace with people who have different political views.
