The new case of Brunson v Adams contains the hottest balance-of-power issue I have ever seen. It is a case by an ordinary citizen. He thinks his right-to-elect was violated by the various frauds going on at the polls in the 2020 election.
Mr Brunson has made me rethink my position. He has made me shift my emphasis from the balance among the three branches of government — legislative, executive, and judicial, and the balance between the states and the feds. Brunson has puffed up — way, way up — the place of The People in the Constitution.
Let’s quickly review the old balance-of-power theory. The US Constitution was written in 1787. Its authors, known as The Framers, were influenced by the work of Frenchman Baron de Montesquieu and Englishman John Locke (writing in Holland). You can credit Locke with the idea that the government’s basis of authority is the consent of the governed. No small deal!
Montesquieu directly influenced the structuring of our federal government into the three branches. Naturally, any government would need to hand assignments to specific offices. But Montesquieu meant the arrangement to be a check on government’s power. He expected each branch to be jealous of its turf, such that none could become dictatorial.
For instance, once the Framers had determined that war declarations should be in the hands of Congress, not the President, any takeover of that task by a president should be fought against by Congress. Indeed Congress’s prerogative of impeaching a president is pure checks-and-balances. A recalcitrant president could find himself “out the door.” Note: three US presidents have been impeached by the House, though none of them were convicted by the Senate.
There is also a fixed balance of states’ power versus federal power in the parchment. Who attended the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 to write the Constitution? Fifty-five delegates from the 13 states. And they did not give away the kitchen sink. They allowed the feds to have enumerated powers, such as the power to coin money, and to build a Navy — things that a nation can do but a state can’t do. These enumerated powers are listed in plain English in Article I, section 8, of the parchment.
Again, this balancing may be dead. States do not fight against usurpation of their prerogatives. (Makes you wonder who gets elected as governor these days.)
Very often the Legislature offers money to the states to accept encroachment on its turf. My favorite example is Education. The feds have no grant of power to involve themselves in the schooling of children. Yet, as we know, most states have agreed to participate in such federal things as the Core Curriculum.
There is also a balance of people versus government in the Constitution. It consists of Article V’s provision for the people to amend the Constitution (38 of the 50 states have to want it). And there is the whole of the Bill of Rights by which every person gets to have a say. There is also a mention, in the Fifth Amendment, of the grand jury as an entity. It belongs to The People. Grand Juries can bring to the attention of government the need for prosecutions.
Again, it’s not working, Folks. The feds, and perhaps each state, use a method of judicial or executive control over local grand juries.
Long story short, the design conjured up by Baron de Montesquieu helped this nation for a while, but today the landscape has changed and the Constitution is not up to it. Sorry.
Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau
Now let’s look at John Locke’s “Second Treatise on Government.” He wrote it in 1690, well before Charles Darwin wrote “The Descent of Man” in 1871. Locke incorrectly described a state of nature in which we had all been in a condition of freedom and natural rights. This was never the case, we are not hermits — we live in societies. And the very existence of a “right” depends on a society to give protection to such rights. The real state of nature is one in which a bully has plenty of potential to dominate others.
Locke was preceded by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) who had pictured a human’s lot in the state of nature as “nasty, brutish, and short.” He, too, was incorrect, but from his incorrect view he came up with the useful idea of people ceding some of their sovereignty to a ruler in exchange for peaceable social relations. He honored a Leviathan, a very strong ruling power.
And don’t forget Frenchman Jean-Jacques Rousseau who wrote The Social Contract in 1762. He posited a “volunte generale” — the will of the people. I think this can be used in two ways. The bad way is that it can be an excuse for authoritarian government; the “greater good” should make people succumb to harsh laws — think China or the Australian state of Victoria today.
The good way is that a general will supports majority rule as against the tiny minority of wealthy overlords.
Of the three thinkers, Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau, it is Locke’s treatise on government that underpins the US Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. Locke influenced Madison by his valuing of tolerance. This had to do with religious tolerance, but in general it’s reflected in America’s value of pluralism in government (a pluralism hugely reduced by the monolith of media).
It’s High Time We Updated the Governing Theory
The new court case by Raland Brunson — delivered pro se, no less — is about the behavior of specific persons who occupy the various roles of the US government. Brunson said they are failing in their duty. I hope we will someday date American political theory as being pre-Brunson and post-Brunson. His case will be considered in January for “cert” at SCOTUS.
Because our Constitution contains the vital protections of the Bill of Rights, and has enjoyed great authority, we should not want to pitch the parchment. So please don’t take my ideas here to mean that we should start from scratch — that would be disastrous. Let’s just imitate Raland Brunson in his attempt to make the Constitution work by making all individuals live up to their oath to that funding document.
But first I want to update the 17th, 18th, and 19th theories outlined above. They were all written when the population of the world was under 2 billion — it is now 8 billion. They were written when the strongest physical force you could use against an enemy was gunpowder. (No planes, no bombs, no bioweapons, no geo-engineering, no mind control, no WEF, etc.)
Thus, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau could hardly be expected, in their recommendations for designing a government, to understand the issue of globalist control, much less to provide for our current complicated circumstance.
Being a sociobiologist myself, I have to try to correct their ontologies. Humans are mammals and thus each person has to look out for himself — we have many instincts that underwrite a healthy selfishness. Homo sapiens is, nevertheless, a social species. We need our group and we need some persons within the group to set the pace, to give us a belief system and means of disciplining deviants. It takes both culture and government to carry out these big tasks.
So we need theorists who can analyze the pressures that are operating today. To put it crudely, I see a hidden group of individuals running the whole species for its hidden purposes — which may be simple selfish purposes. They have twisted everything, including our thought processes, to suit their maintenance of control. Poor jerks.
And they have a huge bevy of servants, maybe even the guy in the apartment next to yours, a nice guy, who is trained to thwart the good of all. And he may not even realize he is doing that! Poor mixed-up soul.
Can Brunson Make the Constitution Work?
Instead of running two arguments here — pro and con Brunson, I will limit the present article to a claim that, yes, Brunson can make the US Constitution, and therefore the US government, a thing of beauty and a joy forever — as someone once said.
Brunson rails against the fact that members of Congress voted to say No to a request by one congressperson that they carry out a certain investigation of a rigged election, as specified in federal law for times when (as in 1877) an election is thought by many observers to be invalid.
There is no question that Congress can override its own past work. There was never an Amendment to make that law stick. Congress must obey the Constitution; it does not have to obey federal law insofar as it is free to change that law by simple majority in both chambers. (If the president vetoes it, they need 2/3 vote to overcome that.)
Brunson is going beyond that technical point. He is saying (I paraphrase liberally): “Hey, you guys in Congress, I know that you know that the 2020 election was fraudulent in about 5 states, and it’s your duty, which you recognized years ago, to cease running toward Inauguration and hold a 10-day investigation. If you don’t do so, you are traitors, given that you took an oath to defend the Constitution. So get the hell out of here. Begone, Satan. I want my country back.”
During the Jan 6 melee, and before it and after it, i published my opinion that Biden was legally elected, based on the fact that Amendment XX provides for congressional interference if there is no other way to produce a president with sufficient electoral college votes (these day, 269). The amendment lays out the way a vice president (in 2021, Pence) presides over the opening of the ballots in a joint session of Congress and must accept challenges from the floor.
Pence did accept two challenges, regarding Arizona and Pennsylvania, and correctly sent each house to debate and vote on these. Both came back with insufficient votes to reject the state’s count. So I, Mary Maxwell, being a sort of parchmentary prude, said “That’s the end of it. Even if five states stink, the law shows the way for elected persons to fix that and they (basically the Democrat majority) refused to do that, so we’ve gotta live with it. Sad, but what can you do?” Etc.
Brunson, God love him, said “Wait a minute. Hold your horses, Maxwell. [He did not really address me, OK?] It’s not for you, Maxwell, to say ‘Let’s accept sin.’ I, Brunson, say DON”T accept it. Kick the sinners out of the temple. [There’s precedent for that!]. Throw their tables over and let ’em know who’s in charge here. WE THE PEOPLE ARE IN CHARGE.”
The new balance-of-power issue therefore has to do with the role of THE PEOPLE in the Constitution. I can see today that we underrated it. We who established our polity by a declaration of independence in 1776 that said “King George, amscray” should not do a Maxwell and say “When our elected leaders do the wrong thing the only hope is to replace them at the next [fraudulent?] election.”
I concede the field to Brunson. I say “Corrupt politicians, amscray — and make it fast cuz we have worse than ‘retirement’ in store for you.”
Yay, Locke’s consent of the governed. Yay, Rousseau’s will of the people. Yay, Hobbes’ Leviathan — us!
Calling on all Leviathan staff members — you know who you are — to protect our society! I quote New Hampshire’s 1784 state constitution, Article 10, still in force:
“Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.”
Yay, New Hampshire! Yay, republicanism! Yay, Brunson! Yay, Everybody!

Mary,
Now you are cooking with gas⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
I have the Brunson pleadings and from memory I think you have erred slightly re number of objectors (100…. Bring those who did not vote too certify) but of no great significance for me to go locate the pleadings in my office mess.
Whilst all the political theories are for a student, the point for the layman, being the important audience, it could have been explained in a few points.
The certifiers refused to carry out the required investigation in the ten days provided to carry out due diligence.
Thus the alleged certification is null and void, is the basis of the claim.
The respondents named, about 388 ( plus P and VP) have declined to do so per the solicitor General.
(Has she seen the writing on the wall and has ducked for cover, not wishing to have her neck stretched?)
5 lines does it.
And the BRUNSON V ADAMS CASE IS SET DOWN FOR SC CONFERENCE ON 6th January 2023.
Error in previous comment. ‘bring’ should be, ‘being those……’
It pays to actually research and listen to one of the Brunson brothers💁🏼
The SC clerk contacted them and told them to get their paperwork in asap.
Would that be normal procedure MARY?
Would it indicate anything?
Any opinion on that?
Counsel who actually practice before a court soon learn to pick up salient signals from the bench and return likewise.
An extremly happy interpretation, Ned, would be that the Justices are [pardon me] salivating at the prospect of reclaiming thir [pardon me] dignity.
You might start at 6 minutes and go thru to 9 minutes. I’m not sure which of the 4 bros is the Plaintiff.
I am not going to look at it further for you because I would not need to.
Mary there are two proceedings, the first was bogged down in a state court, so they filed another in the SC as an another brother as plaintiff.
You did not answer a coupe of simple questions that suggest you are not with the flow nor researched adequately,
Had the time to revisit Mary’s comment and looked at the video.
Dear Mary, one would have to conclude that there was an attempt to do a CIA HATCHET JOB ON THE TRUMPETERS TO DISTRACT READERS FROM THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CASES THAT THEY ARE RUNNING.
It is not a game.
Hey, I read the posts and comments all the time, but never comment. You guys are a bit above my political comprehension. So please don’t attack me for posting the first time here . . . LOL and Thank you! I found this Website and I thought it was pertinent. We can all participate in this endeavor and I intend to do the little part that I am asked to do, and so happy to be able to help! Here’s the LINK: https://theoriginalmarkz.com/brunson-letter-instructions/
Excellent premise Mary, ur indeed cooking with gas
22122022 is nowish, longest day of the year, 2023’s start
I reckon when God said we all heve equal rights, He meant we all have an equal right to be a Leviathan.
CANNOT WAIT.
me either, been enough pomp and ceremony, this ours for the taking(warned you about 440hz-@ a guess wait till the 16gig brown note – I’m just saying things are going faster and if not for you, we are all screwed in all senses ov the word
the price of freedom is ever vigilance, just be this and God willing this all goes away like a bad dream
segway Elspeth or 767 56 = awesome
Hopefully the Supreme Court can fix this mess in short time or I will have to re-evaluate everything.
Here’s the last Brunson brothers story which is hard to find on search because Brunson was spelled the Swedish way.
https://gumshoenews.com/brunsen-v-adams-us-supreme-court-election-case-continues-uncontested/
The ABC hasn’t discovered it yet, ignorance is bliss, they are doing Zelenskyy meets Pelosi, and they are ecstatic that he is hoping to scrounge more billions from the AMerican public for YET ANOTHER DEATH ORGY, this time every frozen babooshka costing about $1m. Could the “authorities” not have had another election and disputed that instead of going straight to the military option? NO !!! Evidently.
ABC also covering for Queensland police who have come up with an Official Story after only a week: “Queensland police reveal officers were following up warrant for Nathaniel Train as counter terrorism teams assist investigation”, yes they have the whole thing baked in a pie now, only took them a week.
Meanwhile Dr Norman Swan, “Australia’s Most Trusted Doctor” or was it “Favourite”, can’t remember, I saw his book in the discount section of a K-mart type of shop. Norman has got everyone to shut up about va666inosis and push more injections.
They are pushing the line you get heart attacks from an airborne virus.
You won’t find the story if you search the site for Kerryn Phelps using the default filter “Relevance”, they have hidden it. While I was looking I checked out the story “Who can access your ‘My Health Record’ only to find that had been replaced with a smear piece on crypto currency. Here’s the Phelps report but I wouldn’t recommend it.
I don’t need to listen to ABC anymore, I already know what they’re going to say. I am satisfied they buried the Kerry Phelps va666inosis info under a pile of bullshit.

Thanks for the reminder demonstrating how trite some are, when one would expect more interest and analysis with some competent research and are all gas but no heat,

Young lives are ruined as the pedophile parade goes on and on. If details of these acts are ever revealed, what then?
The guns are being taken away cause that’s the plan for all 5 eyes and Euro nations.
We are seeing an international police force, a union of all continents with a supreme global legal system.
The end of national sovereignty.
As a result, our cities have become playgrounds for prostitution, pedophiles and child pornography.
Oz has become the iron boot of Rothschilds central banking, running a national debt where every man woman and child owes them $200.000 compounding.
Sending our young women and men off to banksters wars since 1914, no matter how many innocents die on all sides, our military keep on defending Oz in overseas wars of occupation.
Average Aussies are unrepresented in government because their pockets fleeced are empty to bribe politicians with.
We live in a two class system where the people who built this nation are ignored and replaced.
“If something is the truth, why would any government need to pass a law making it a crime to deny it.”
My comment for JB seems to be delayed somewhat. I do not have time to stuff around.
Thankyou for reminding readers of the recent article at gumshoe on the Brunson case.
At the time I was most disappointed that as a professional LL.B Mary only managed 7 minutes into the 107 commentary on the Brunson case and was only curious about a B.
Some comments/articles indicate too much gas and no heat.
The old Latins had a saying: “What Caesar giveth, Caesar can taketh”.
Which “Bill of Rights” anywhere in the World is not concocted by an “illuminated elite” and which “Bill of Rights” does not imply that this is granted by some Caesar gang and that the “rights” granted preclude anything not mentioned as a “right”?
I think it is no accident that the Christian Church has never tried to define “rights” as anything that can be separated from duties and obligations.
Haven’t you noticed that the contemporary version of idolised Caesar called “democracy” has given us what we have? Didn’t anyone notice that “democracy” being pushed all over the World by a Satanic, plutocratic, Sanhedrin is a necessary precursor to an unassailable tyranny; a tyranny that protects itself as being the representative of the people even though the people represented is not the commonwealth of the despised “profane”?
In the olden days even an ambitious, greedy, licentious monarch or governor was ultimately and personally responsible for his errors. In a “democracy”, nah! no ONE is responsible for the good order of the commonwealth.
These days, instead of having any kind of moral authority, either innate or institutional, that accords with the nature and purpose of human existence we have a plethora of sociobiologists who insist that there is no transcendental nature and purpose for human existence but it is a “becoming” out of essential Nothing to be “owned” by whoever can. My guess is that the likes of Yuval Noah Harari is a sociobiologist that agrees with the notorious eugenicist (sociobiologist) Julian Huxley that it’s time the “products of Evolution took over the process of Evolution”.
I’m guessing that the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah had a fairly similar idea that translated to “You piss off, Mr Lott, and take your God with you. We’re running this show and good and true are whatever we say and because we say so”.
In my opinion, the definition of insanity is not JUST repeating past errors and expecting a different result; it’s pretending, or assuming, to be “smarter than God”.
O D,
Ok, but do you have any thoughts on the Brunson case, the subject of Mary’s article and following the comments with its significance?
Good one, Ned,
Of course, I don’t suppose that you’d be involved in any “pilpul”.
https://www.winterwatch.net/2022/12/the-use-of-pilpul-to-cloud-and-obscure-issues-and-discussions/
Anyhow, I wish the Brunson brothers all the best but I won’t hold my breath because they’re hoping that Caesar will defy his vice-masters and deliver according to some abstract, transcendental, notions of good and true that is entirely inimical to the convenience and ideology of sociobiologists etc.
It was a simple Question.
The Brunson case is also simple.
No idea what pileup is and no doubt irrelevant to me, but maybe not for you.
We can’t fight an enemy if we don’t know who the enemy is. The enemy has made us slaves, polluted our minds bodies souls and wiped hamlet heritage inheritance.
WHO are terrorists. Msm and big internet is government propaganda controlled by banksters. They always want more power,
with AI the most oppressive system ever concocted, CCP the role model for all eyes.
No jab, no job!
We are not criminals, we are commonwealth. Their actions the most repressive forms of krown kabal komunizm enforced.
Who benefits?
Nobody can believe such evol exists, thinking everybody has some good in them, now we can clearly see some are born that way. Scientific academia dance like puppets to commands of benefactors, the demonic global tyranny. Deep state criminals and the money sucking military pharma industrial complex. A few become billionaires as we get shafted.
Nothing good can come of this, for them.
Almighty is and always will be.
Ant,
As with OD, any thoughts on the Brunson case and it’s significance?
Leviathan is in the title.
As mentioned earlier, been to court a few times, won both, never saw the money, still had to pay legal costs.
95% of time in court taken up by precedents that occurred a century earlier.
System is skewed that way.
So that is your considered reply?💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼
BS,
If I didn’t pay, they would have sold house.
Had to borrow much, to cover crimes of criminals, judiciary included.
Pardon error, judiciary including barrister and lawyer. Seventy thousand dollars on top of one hundred and forty thousand stolen from manufacture and installation.
Plus interest waiting a decade for second court case.
I’m still paying !
Dear, Mary, OD and Ant, et.al.
You are hereby on record to be informed.
Perhaps Mary might invest more than Seven minutes and hold back on all the time spent on serial thesis and just listen to today’s X22Report.com
Episode 2965.
Amazing what results happen when one puts aside an ego for a few minutes and see outside their mindset.
Takes more than seven minutes.
Correction. EPISODE….. lost it, just look at today’s episode.
I AM CURIOS Mary, have you EVER SPENT ANY TIME RESEARCHING AND CONSIDERING, listening to A X22Report.com?
I suspect not, if not why not when I recommend it.
Do you judge me to be a uninformed idiot?
The TV and M$M has been pumping out Trump Derangement Syndrome at maximum pressure since mid 2016 and Trump himself has (at least) psy-opped us with his WarpSpeed stuff. Even I am only 80% of the way with Trump but the truth is, there is no potential alternative between now and January 2025. It’s as simple and clear as an on-off switch.
Is this the link?
(Click on the video, then find the embed)
That’s it.
Takes more than 7 minutes Mary.
TRUTH BEING REVEALED.
Cope with it Mary.
Dee and Ned,
Thank you. Can’t access rumble on pad, used better half’s iPhone.

Strangely, everyone in Bangkok had Covid-19™ when I went there in Oct / Nov and it was just a little cough-cough, nobody dying. I do recall one Chinese medicine shop in Yaowarat where the owner was so paranoid that the shop was open and the front door was locked with big signs (in Chinese), you had to do your transaction through the glass, when the guy saw me, a foreigner, trying to buy something he nearly had a hernia, hiding up the back and sent some youngster out to deal with me. Nobody else was stressed that I can remember. In other cities around Thailand and Malaysia nobody even had the little cough-cough.
