For dissent, now is the time. As world attention to these treaties increases, legitimacy of this tyranny decreases.

I'm watching and just appreciated Reggie LIttlejohn's prayer appealing to heaven, which I had just looked up last night as one of the Supreme Court justices was said to have been flying the appeal to heaven flag.

The phrase "Appeal to Heaven" is a particular expression of the right of revolution used by British philosopher John Locke in his Second Treatise on Government. The work was published in 1690 and refuted the theory of the divine right of kings. In chapter 14:[8]

And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven.[9]

I think this is apropos since these rich people think they have the divine right of wealth.
