Why does Stewart have that flag with the "Gold Fringe" on it?
For God's sake IATL, do you see an ulterior motive behind everything? There are certainly enough conspiracies that ARE in fact true, we don't need to see something sinister in things that aren't.
There's no legitimate evidence which indicates the claims that the fringe means anything special are true.
We all live our lives based on falsehoods, myths and misunderstandings. Who knows the truth anyway about anything?
My latest wakeup call was a Larken Rose video clip about the Constitution. It was like being slapped while asleep and I am near 60. What have I been thinking all this time? Where exactly is the human refresh button? 'Want to see what I mean?
As fine of a dramatic exercise in futility that Larken Rose presents in the video you posted, it stinks to high heaven.
Larken makes the claim of "moral right to steal" between the basis of the US Constitution and himself granting the same to himself as a function of a piece of paper or script. If he had chosen "immoral right" Larken would have been closer to the truth but he didn't; in fact, he avoids the term altogether, yet "immoral right" is the underscore of his presentation.
The fact is, the US Constitution grants POWER to Congress to levy AND collect taxes ... the concept of morality is moot to any issues regarding POWER much less considering nonsensical considerations of moral equivalency; government has no conscience; government is power.

I was not addressing morality when I questioned your statement. How is it a "fact" that the Constitution grants power? What makes the grant of power, a fact?

Government (any government) is nothing more than raw, brutal POWER or FORCE of exercise in action. "POWER" is distinctive of "rights" although all too often some folks think the two concepts are the same.
That is because you are avoiding the basis of POWER for any government; for the US government the various state assemblies at the time of US Constitutional ratification did not represent each of their own entire constituency; those being represented were those already occupying positions of respective POWER in their own communities.
