Our famed Boston Tea Party was certainly a case of criminal trespass, and felony destruction of property. But we have to remember a critical difference between “then”and “now”. Then, the only “law” we had was the whim of a king and of a parliament in which we had no representation. That meant we were subject…

I run a weekly open online discussion for anyone interested in Constitutional militia. One of our very welcome regulars is the commander of a numerous and very well-regarded group in central Virginia. This group is a few years old, now, and was started by the simple expedient of widely-circulated flyers announcing a public Militia Muster..…

One of the controversies within the ranks of Tactical Civics supporters is, whether local militia should be built immediately, or whether that process should wait until some arbitrary level of public awareness, or TC Chapter planting, has been reached. First I have to discuss the word, “immediately”. Anyone who has read my book An American…

This is a debate begun by my son Abram, who has graciously allowed me to publish it here. Hello Fellow Men, My name is Abram Leyzorek, middle-son of John Leyzorek, the man I am going to have to disagree with today. Disagreement is how we all move closer to the Truth, so let’s embrace it.…

I just read an essay (https://www.hoover.org/research/thoughts-your-penny?utm_campaign=9856693-MKT%20%7C%20Defining%20Ideas%20%7C%202025&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8tNmgrAZSjCgPaSERowd2W2mK9PpntKK38VjdoySt-HHYnIML9AsxZQA1jI1Tw713jBWTqpKSH-8n5dvEJxjwgwKY1Vg&_hsmi=351990653&utm_content=351990653&utm_source=hs_email) advocating elimination of American 1-cent coins (often miscalled pennies), and 5-cent pieces as well, because the cost to produce them exceeds their value….therefore the government makes no profit on their manufacture. But wait, is the purpose of government to make a profit? Surely not! We do not want its…

Many people ponder how to defend themselves and their families against bad people, or general disorder. Some approach this by moving to places where they believe there will be less need to do so, or by preparing to go to such a place, if things look bad. This is sometimes called “bugging out”. It requires…

We make no secret of these two model ordinances. One, briefly called “The Constitution Enforcement and Militia Ordinance”, formally recognizes the militia unit in your County as Constitutional militia with its Constitutional law-enforcement authority. It commits your County to enforcement of the Constitution, and also sets up the relationship of mutual oversight and support between…

I host a weekly live online discussion group, usually on the Telegram platform, that I call, “Friday Night Militia Talk”. For some reason, Telegram is not working for me tonight (12 September, 2025).So, I sent this out to the mailing list for the group, and perhaps it is worth preserving here.“Looks like FNMT will not…

I host a weekly discussion group on the Telegram platform that I call, “Friday Night Militia Talk”. The purpose is to share and troubleshoot local militia development questions, triumphs, and troubles. (If you are interested in participating, send me an e-mail to securetheserights@protonmail.com, and I will send you an invitation link, and put you on…

Many people post the latest news about treaties that our elected servants want to pass, treaties about globalist control of our health care, or initiatives to ban private gun ownership worldwide (does not apply to criminals, of course!). They are terrified, and invite us to be, also, that such treaties will destroy our rights. After…

A good friend and eager acolyte of the Tactical Civics plan for Constitutional law-enforcement, sent me a link to a speech about “Election Integrity”. I think it is probably a good one. Here is the link, and passcode, in case you have more time to watch it than I do. But maybe you should read…

Ever since the failure of Schickelgruber’s little experiment, many people feel uneasy about being seen hating Jews. But that may be changing. Some of them who want to, anyway, take refuge in a story about a kingdom in Central Asia a thousand years ago, called Khazaria, that did not want to ally itself with, and…

Here is a link to a story about breakdown of rule-of-law. https://noticethenews.com/todaysnews/vigilantes-force-squatters-from-nyc-home-after-police-arrested-homeowner-mob-law-is-back/ In case the link goes bad, the story refers to a NYC homeowner who was arrested for changing the locks on a house she owned, after police once removed a squatter who had been occupying it. There are lots of problems with the…

Our Constitution guarantees that indictments for serious crimes must come from a Grand Jury, which is a random drawing of we-the-people.  This process is intended to protect both against wrongful persecution by a vengeful self-appointed mob, and against corrupt officials or other powerful people protecting each other. A judge or prosecutor can choose to empanel…

Our civil society, our Republic, stands on the rule of law, not on the changing and arbitrary whims of men. And the Law stands on three legs. First is, well, The Law. We get the concept of Law from God. The universe runs on physical law, and cannot run without it. It cannot be broken.…

Many people have brought to our attention a document titled,“Fact Sheet on Unlawful Militias in Virginia” (or other State),purportedly prepared by the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) at Georgetown University Law . We have seen very similar versions for many of the States, and articles with similar messages are easy to find.Below, I…

Constitutional Militia? We hear the word, “Militia”, and we hear the phrase “Constitutional Militia”.Are they different? Is this a useful distinction, or is it only a way to sound bigger and better? “Militia”, at its most basic, just means people that have organized themselves under arms, but not a paid army under a national command.…

I participated recently in a long and thoughtful online discussion on a forum frequented by people interested or involved in the “militia movement”. My contributions and positions are clearly identified. The other participants only by initials, which may not be their own. We can clearly see the broad divide between the notion that our institutional…

I was very glad to be getting acquainted with a brother in the movement today, who brought up a point, versions of which I hear often, and want to address. That is the idea that our Constitution is somehow no longer in force, having been supplanted by some act in 1871 that altered our form…

Does “Dillon” Rule? The Tactical Civics plan to recognize, regulate, and support Militia by Ordinance on the County or municipal level, is objected to by some on the ground that localities do not have the lawful power to do it, because it violates a principle called, “Dillon’s Rule”. In 1868, Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice…

I am no preacher. I have more questions than answers. But I am grateful beyond expressing to God, for all He has given me. Many of those gifts are simply things to delight in. The morning sunlight, or the life-restoring rain. The taste of food. The beauty of flowers. The companionship of those I love.…

Do You Want it the Hard Way? We have been saying over and over, for years now, in slightly different forms, that the restoration of our Republic is law enforcement. Law enforcement. You know, what we grew up thinking was exclusively the cops’ job, and no business of ours. Has everyone noticed that all over…

The name, as most of you know, comes from what I consider one of the great documents of human history, a true watershed, in which our forefathers asserted, and soon after established by force of arms, fundamental principles of Divine Law that underlie the great experiment in freedom under God that we call the United…

The Great Inversion Where does it come from, anyway, this pervasive, persistent thing we call government, this thing that seems to many as essential as air, the solution of every problem, the problem in every solution, that regulates, confabulates, supports, deports, redresses, oppresses, wheels, deals, and steals? One may imagine that a very long time…

The following essay I wrote and delivered on one of Tactical Civics’s Sunday conference calls. They always open with a prayer, which I include here. Dear God, we are gathered in your sight..of course we are never out of your sight, nor do we wish to be. Maybe I should say, we ask Your special…

International Day of Brotherhood, Protest, and Boycott Someone posted a lengthy and bountifully-illustrated announcement of a globally-coordinated event, intended to straighten it all out. Protests all around the world, a five-day boycott of, well, everything, since it all comes from those wicked global corporationsI That’ll show ’em, by Golly! I hate to piss on anyone’s…

 Contra Con-con I strongly oppose the proposed “Convention of States”, “Con-Con”,  or any wholesale revision of our federal Constitution, for a number of reasons. First, our Constitution already contains numerous important restrictions on the power and reach of government, and guarantees of our rights.  They are being ignored.  If existing restrictions and guarantees are ignored…

Brief Intro to TACTICAL CIVICS™ Please note, although I held the title of “co-founder” of the TC mission for several years, in February of 2022 David Zuniga the founder excommunicated me from his organization because of a disagreement about how and when to build Constitutional militia. Nothing I say should be construed as representing the…
