Passages through the Shadows

In Volume I, we took an historical journey, discovering the traits of tyranny and freedom ending in the why and how behind a miracle in Philadelphia which became the unprecedented, still unparalleled, United States Constitution: which turned tyranny on its head, making the individual the sovereign and government the servant for the first time in history, establishing our freedom.In Volume II, our nation crossed another doorway in time, giving birth to governance of another kind. It is a chronicle of the creation and growth of the constitutionally unenumerated power of the Administrative State, which has become a tyrannical force; not just dissimilar to our founding, but diametrically opposed to the ideals and constitutional design of our freedom.In Volume III of this Democracy Series, we ask a simple question Socrates asked when examining distinct kinds of government: "Who rules who?" This book is a battleground chronicle of a war that has begun over the American anatomy of government and over the American soul. This work witnesses the battles between America's founding ideals and the forces that have driven a wedge into our system of governance and into the depths of the American Constitutional idea.
