The Turn of We the People: Women

9/29/2026

PictureExpectations


​

​
​10/13

Women Reb.
Yes.
Our day ain't like today.
Expectations in both Gus.
Varina was expected to have babies.
It took several years. 
Jeff worrying of course.
Mary Chesnut felt the pressure too.
You said she was anti-slavery and anti-Black.
Mary never had children.
Oh-oh.
Her father-in-law wrote his will against her for it.
Punished.
Wrote that if no male heirs were produced, his property would revert to a male descendant.
Mercy.
None given to Mary.
Men did that to women.
Women were mostly a rightless class.
Much like the enslaved.
Correct. 

PictureUnderrepresented



​



​
Women today Johnny.
Right.
That's not much of an answer.
Right.
Maybe women today should speak for themselves.
Perhaps in a new house for We the People.
Represented according to numbers.
In a coalition of the constitutionally willing.
What is their number Reb?
Women are more than 50 percent Yank.
And how much representation in the usurpation do women have Johnny?
About 20 percent.
Whoa. 
Women are the largest underrepresented group in America. 
So they stand to gain with the thirty Thousand. 
The most.
Exciting Reb. 

PictureWomen are the key to America's greatness





Women are the key Gus.
The key to America’s greatness. 
The turn of We the People is the turning of the key.
The key is representation.
The lock is Article 1.
Section 2.
Clause 3.
Of the US Constitution Reb.
Turn the great key America. 
Open the door.
Become We the People.
Become who we are.
World leaders of republican representation. 
Unlike any other in the world.
Unique even.
It is what makes us great Johnny. 
It is America's foundation Gus.
It is America.
First order.

The Turn of We the People: Think of (All) the Children

Picture700,000



​

​9/13

Never seen a light like this Reb.
Special.
It has a tube attached.
Charlie said it was a gas.
Davis smoked. 
Children running around too Yank.
Kind of a small Knights of the Round Table.
Jeff was a late nighter.
Quiet time.
Plan your destruction time Gus.
And yours Johnny. 
War touches all. 
How many of us died?
Something like 700,000.
In 48 months Johnny. 
Nearly 15,000 a month.
All those sons.
Fathers.
Brothers.
Someone's child Gus.
Everyone had a momma.

​

PictureEqual in light




​


Jeff sits here by the fire.
Varina asleep next door.
Their children sleeping in the other room.
Jeff sits here by the light.
While holding the keys of war Gus.
Hard to understand Jeff ignoring the Constitution. 
Jeff was against the self-made man.
Lincoln.
Against the idea that a child is its own light.
Couldn't see Betsey and James as equal in light. 
Thought Betsey and James inferior Yank.
Damn it Reb.
Jeff?
The whole damn slavery thing. 
Slavery economics Gus.
Are economics of oppression.
Usurpers don't think of all the children.
This room tires.
Next.



PictureAbsence presence



The 700,000 are missing.
Absence has a presence. 
Remember Kenny Reb?
Kennedy Grogan.
Buried in Berryville.
Killed on his 20th birthday.
Assaulting a house of Jesus.
Turned into a fort.
Amen Johnny. 
What chance did Kenny have Gus?
Caught up in a world.
Set on fire by Jeff and his ilk.
A treasonous ilk.
One is to think of the children.
When one thinks of the thirty Thousand.
We the People includes all American children.
We can't leave them this anti-American usurpation.
We the People need to be adults about representation. 
Think of the American legacy Reb.
And what we are leaving the children.

PictureConstitution Day 2026




​
8/13

Den of traitors.
Treason happened here Gus.
It's a small room compared to the others.
Secrets don't like a crowd.
Too many eyes.
And ears.
Indeed.
Which is why anti-republic forces always want We the People asleep.
Eyes closed.
Can't see a thing that way Yank.
Sleep right through the usurpation.
It's Constitution Day.
Smudge Day.
The day We the People need to remember. 
A republic for which we stand.
And we stand wide-awake Yank.
Not asleep like before.
Correct.

PictureAsleep to the rule of law







Johnny, does that door lead to the upstairs landing?
Does.
So all the prominent traitors walked through that door.
To meet with Jeff, the chief contemner.
Lee.
Beauregard. 
Bragg.
Hood.
All asleep to the rule of law Reb.
Jeff Davis was anti-woke to America’s founding.
Just like the 435 are today. 
Jeff would be impressed by today's anti-wokeness. 
Admire it even I imagine.
Keep ‘em asleep Jeff would argue.
Don't wake up and read the US Constitution Johnny. 
Just be like before.
Trust the liars.
And be the greatest generation to never read the founders.
Asleep at the wheel We the People are.
Asleep.

PictureJesus was woke





​
Reb, is that all America has today?
Can't read?
Can't wake up?
Maybe likes being asleep?
Seems so Johnny. 
Maybe being anti-woke is a new virtue?
Shame on the anti-woke.
Honor to the woke.
Jesus was woke.
Maybe We the People need to look at our reflection.
Look at ourselves, see ourselves. 
Eyes open Gus. 
Wake up from the usurpation. 
Wake up from the thievery of our rights.
And see again.
Ever higher.

The Turn of We the People: Not Yet Named

8/25/2026

PictureRiley Kingen and John Brown


​



​5/13

Was I the only casualty on 11 August?
Book says Rebs killed Augustus Kotka.
We saw that.
And two others wounded during a night of skirmishing.
Names?
Riley Kingen and John Brown.
John Brown?
Imagine that.
Quite the name after 1859.
You Yanks had a Jefferson C. Davis.
From Indiana.
Infamous too.
Shot and killed a fellow officer Johnny.
Did.
Because of an insult.
A lot like our Jeff.
Unless you deferred. 
Jeff was always quick to fight.
Go figure.

PictureA Higher Power






​
It was an issue.
For all of us Johnny. 
During our times people spoke of a higher power.
Got caned in the Senate for it. 
And murdered in Kansas for it.
That's why it was bleeding. 
We didn't turn our problems over to the constitutional higher power.
The thirty Thousand. 
Our not yet named Gus.
And already is.
The not yet named is the answer.
To every political question.
Taxes.
War.
Debt. 
Justice.
Homelessness. 
Immigration.
Not In the name of the Usurped States of America.

PictureWindows



Rather Reb.
Rather in the name of We the People.
Represented as the founders taught.
Which would then be the United States of America.
Teach.
United and not Usurped States.
Like looking out an old window.
And seeing things new.
Name the thirty Thousand Johnny.
Say it.
And begin to solve problems.
Like who are We?
And what are We gonna do?
Doesn't matter who wins an election if it is a usurpation election. 
One usurper replacing a usurper.
Is still a usurper.
We the People, represented as the Constitution dictates, that is our is.
First order Yank.
Our not yet named.

PictureCarolina Gamecock

​




2/13

Where were the Chestnuts from Johnny?
South Carolina, and it is Ches-nuts.
Chesnuts? 
Right.
Is that a South Carolina thing?
French.
Didn't Elbridge mention Thomas Sumpter was Sumter.
Correct Yank.
The Carolina Gamecock.
A Spirit of ‘76.
Who defended the Constitution on 9 April 1792.
Usurpation Day.
The Congressional Record, according to Elbridge, lists Representative Thomas Sumpter as voting against the usurpation.
It says that Yank.
So Kotka becomes Koka.
If ya want Koka.
The goddesses said Keep Moving.
Just move.

​


PictureAdvice






They know us Reb.
All those empty chairs.
We never had it so fancy.
We stay in cemeteries mostly.
There and battlefields.
Which are basically cemeteries.
Comedy and Tragedy are like Snake and Turkey.
Morgan gave us a starting point Gus.
Berryville, Virginia. 
And now Comedy and Tragedy gave us advice.
A sign.
Keep Moving. 
Why did the Carolina Gamecock lose his p Johnny?
Could be the name meant too much.
Like how?
Could be the name was greater than Calhoun.
So misdirect from Sumpter's support of the thirty Thousand.
And away from Calhoun's treason.
The Chesnuts?
Yes.

​

PictureWords


​
Start somewhere Johnny.
The Chesnuts were close to the Davises.
Trusted.
James Chesnut was loyal to Jeff.
How loyal?
James Chesnut was a person who deferred.
Okay.
Jeff needed people who deferred. 
So they fit temperamentally.
Right on.
What of Mary Chesnut Johnny?
Mary had wit like Varina.
Compatible.
Was a writer like Varina.
Words.
Anti-slavery.
What!?
Anti-Black too.
I see why the Chestnuts are hard to explain.
Chesnuts.
Is that the entryway? 
Careful Gus …

The Return of We the People: Madness

6/29/2026

0 Comments

 
PictureContemnation


​



11/13

Aloha!
Madness Yank.
Let it out Reb.
Jeff and the rebellion and George.
You and I give George a negative for being a slaver.
Jeff hailed it.
We hail 1776 Independence George.
Jeff too.
We hail thirty Thousand George.
Jeff showed contemnation.
Which turned into treason.
Correct Gus.
That makes George a plus one for us and Jeff.
Just a different plus one.
Part of the madness Reb?
Well, I mean old-fashioned smoke coming-out-my-ears madness Yank.
Not insane madness?

PictureHubbard v. Lowe (1915)



​



​Mad like George the Mason would be.
Just count We the People.
And divide by thirty Thousand.
Or less Johnny.
Or less Gus, as the Constitution says shall not exceed.
How simple.
Make a machine do it Yank.
Very 21st century.
The thirty Thousand has the same meaning in all parts of the United States.
Sacred Johnny.
It cannot give way to the spirit of contemnation in the Supreme Court any more than it can yield to the sin of usurpation and treason in the Legislative and Executive.
We the People. 
And the rule of law.
A law made outside the law is never a law at all.
According to America's founders and the Supreme Court.
Can you name a legal precedent Johnny?
Hubbard v. Lowe (1915).

​

PictureSee Something, Say Something



This room is bigger than most cabins we grew up in.
It's one of many on the tour.
Reb, the thirty Thousand falls under the timeless rule of See Something, Say Something.
The thirty Thousand precedes the Bill of Rights.
So it made things like the Second Amendment.
Celebrate.
See that door stain.
Do.
Betsey and James would have been See Something, Say Something on that.
Efficient like a soldier.
The door too.
Say more Gus.
The way we become who we think we should be passing from one room to another.
We hail ourselves.
Betsey and James would be thinking something.
Then pause before opening this door.
Who am I?
Inside, free thoughts Yank.
Outside, Jeff's servant slave thoughts.
Madness.

The Return of We the People: Emancipate Yourself

PictureHobbes

4 of 13

… Whoa Reb?!
What?
That.
It’s a ship shaft.
No, that side door.
For servants - it’s part of the tour Gus.
Is a servant a slave?
Getting precise.
The two words get slid together.
They do.
What is the distinction Johnny?
A servant slave gives up the right to kill a master.
And a slave never does.
According to Hobbes.
Calvin N. Hobbes?
Thomas Hobbes Gus, in a book called Leviathan.
Sounds Biblical.
Secular tome.
What does the servant get for not killing?
What do you think?

PictureSomeday


​







Something.
Like?
It would vary Johnny.
It did.
Humanness. 
More liberty, more security, less violence.
Something.
Wouldn't work otherwise Yank.
Did servants run from here?
Yes.
From that door?
I suppose - I'm Johnny remember?
Duh.
One can say for sure people thought about it.
Start to imagine it.
Lincoln declared it.
So a Someday door.
Someday.

PictureNumbers




​


Who did?
James and Betsey to name two Gus.
Ran from here?
January 8th in that year of your's.
“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.”
“None but ourselves can free our minds.”
James and Betsey had to free themselves inside.
Like Bob sings of Yank.
What We the People need. 
A free mind begins within.
None but ourselves.
Can end the Usurpation.
We got the numbers Johnny.
Napoleon said that was essential.
Nearly 350 million of us.
Against 435 of them.
Thus The Return.
Of We the People.
Let's continue.
This way Yank …

Stop!
Sure.
Is this Richmond Reb?
It is.
And it’s Usurpation Day 2026?
April 9th Yank.
Elbridge would love this.
Marley too.
Bob.
Right.
This gray building doesn't look like the other ones.
Stingray is the color.
Stingray?
Yeah.
It’s gray Johnny.
Charlie said it’s called Stingray, rolled eyes included.
Who's Charlie?

​
​
Tour guide.
Of what?
The Stingray building.
When did you tour this Johnny?
Last Usurpation Day.
We spent that in DC.
With Bob and Elbridge.
On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Bob sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Unforgettable.
Elbridge told us an eyewitness account of 9 April 1792.
The chief contemner himself.
That's when.
You just went poof without saying so?
After we smoked.
Bob's smoke.
Right … and I poofed.
To recon.
Richmond.
And thus Charlie.
And another chief contemner.
Charlie?

Picture





​
Jefferson Davis.
Jeffy?!
This is where he lived during the war.
Stunned Reb.
Okay.
That the backdoor?
Front, the back is collonaded, to the right.
Odd.
Garden area, privacy.
Makes sense.
Street smells too Gus.
Horse manure.
All kinds.
Clean today.
Let's cross the clean Richmond street Yank.
On Usurpation Day 2026 Reb.
“So the world shall be His footstool,”
“And the soul of Time His slave,”
[In unison] “Our God is marching on.”

It is a creation of The Usurpation.
The Usurpers, Yank, they get it now.

They get the necessity.
Of a constitutional Republic.

Where to now Yank?

A law made outside the law is never a law (at all).
