National Guard 1953 Postage Stamp

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong - December 11, 2024

The National Guard turned 100 years old in 2003, and Washington is seeking to usurp state’s rights and federalize the National Guard to circumvent the Constitution and to use them against the people of the United States in true tyrannical fashion. During the American Revolution, the troops were predominantly state militia. That is the origin of the National Guard, and the Second Amendment was actually intended to secure our liberty from federalism.

U.S. Senator Charles W. F. Dick, a Major General in the Ohio National Guard and the chair of the Committee on the Militia, sponsored the first attempt to control state militias. In 1903, he moved the 57th U.S. Congress to transform militias into the National Guard. Under this legislation, passed on January 21st, 1903, they transformed the organized state militias by giving them federal funding and requiring them to conform to the Regular Army organization within five years. The act also required National Guard units to attend twenty-four drills and five days of annual training per year for the first time. In return for the increased federal funding, the federal government took oversight control, subjecting them to inspection by Regular Army officers to verify they met federal standards.

However, the authority to call out the National Guard rested with the states. What is going on now is Washington’s attempt to usurp total control of the National Guard. They will use that status to send troops domestically against civilians, and the army is prohibited from acting domestically. This is a serious threat to the liberty of every citizen. The National Armed Services Committee is clearly preparing for the rise in civil unrest and wants to be able to send troops against the people. This is overthrowing the state’s rights and the separation of powers.

The Whiskey Rebellion was a violent tax protest in the United States in 1791 extending into 1794 during the presidency of George Washington. The “whiskey tax” was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. President Washington was confronted with what appeared to be an armed insurrection in western Pennsylvania. He was determined to establish the federal government as supreme authority. He understood that this would not be popular among the public. He called a cabinet meeting, and all but one said attack . . .
