Un projet citoyen sans citoyen - L’accès à la justice au Québec, aujourd’hui - Maxime Gagné

 Un beau projet ne répare pas une crise de confiance quand il est conçu pour tout améliorer sauf la seule chose qui l’a provoquée. Tant que l’ordre refusera de se regarder dans le miroir, le Sommet et l’appel de projets resteront du spectacle : une porte dessinée sur l’affiche, à côté de toutes celles qu’on ferme dans les dossiers.




EnDroit.ca · Le droit au plus près des citoyens

EnDroit.ca


Justice-Quebec.ca devient officiellement EnDroit.ca. Même mission, même équipe, même approche — sous une nouvelle identité plus claire et plus représentative de notre engagement envers les citoyens.


Une plateforme citoyenne indépendante qui accompagne les Québécois non représentés dans leur navigation du système judiciaire. Avec des guides pratiques, des outils d’IA, une équipe de collaborateurs engagés et une couverture sans filtre des réalités institutionnelles.


Un projet citoyen sans citoyen

Posted on 02/07/2026 by Maxime Gagné





I created EnDroit.ca (formerly Justice-Quebec.ca) because, too often, people going through the justice system find themselves alone, overwhelmed, with no idea where to start. The information exists, but it is scattered, complex, and inaccessible for many.

As a neurodivergent person myself, I have been directly aware of the realities of those whom the system understands poorly. Thus, whether vulnerable individuals, isolated citizens, or atypical profiles facing institutions, I know their reality from the inside.

This site was born from a simple conviction: no one should have to face the justice system without understanding their rights, their remedies and the tools available to help them. Whether it is a difficult family situation, a conflict with a professional, a complaint to file or a process to undertake, everyone deserves access to clear information and human support.

Today, EnDroit.ca is much more than a website. It is a community of engaged contributors: social worker, domestic violence expert, family support team, lawyers active at the Barreau du Québec, university jurists, profiling and discrimination specialists, field workers, community organizations. Thus, these people combine their skills to offer guides, investigations, testimonies, trusted references and concrete support.

We do not pretend to have all the answers. However, we deeply believe that mutual aid, transparency and collaboration can make a real difference in the lives of those who feel helpless against the judicial machine.

Thank you to all those who are building this project with me. And thank you to you who read us. Therefore, it is for you that all this exists.

 ANALYSE · ACCÈS À LA JUSTICE


L’accès à la justice au Québec, aujourd’hui

SOQUIJ. Éducaloi. JuridiQC. Les Centres Info Justice. La Fondation du Barreau. Justice Pro Bono. Juripop. L’aide juridique. Le Fonds Accès Justice. CanLII. Les cliniques juridiques universitaires. Option consommateurs. Inform’elle. Le Forum québécois sur l’accès à la justice. Et l’Entente Justice citoyens, déjà dotée de 80 millions de dollars.


Voilà — en partie seulement — ce que le Québec a déjà bâti pour « favoriser l’accès à la justice » : des dizaines de plateformes, de programmes et d’organismes, pour des dizaines de millions de dollars. Et pourtant, la confiance des citoyens envers leurs institutions ne cesse de chuter.

 Alors comment le Barreau propose-t-il de régler cette crise de confiance ?

 En finançant une initiative de plus.


Par l’équipe d’EnDroit.ca · EnDroit.ca · 2 juillet 2026 · Lecture 8 min

Le 29 juin, trois institutions ont annoncé ensemble une bonne nouvelle : un appel de projets 2026-2027, doté de deux millions de dollars, pour financer des initiatives destinées « aux populations peu desservies en matière d’accès à la justice ». Le ministre de la Justice Simon Jolin-Barrette, le président de la Chambre des notaires Me Bruno Larivière et le bâtonnier du Québec Me Marcel-Olivier Nadeau invitent les organismes à déposer leurs demandes d’ici le 14 septembre. Sur l’affiche : deux personnages se serrent la main, une porte s’ouvre sur un bureau. En bas, quatre logos — Justice citoyens, Chambre des notaires, Barreau du Québec, Québec.


Soutenir notre mission - Faire un don

Disons-le d’emblée, parce que c’est vrai : améliorer l’accès à la justice est une bonne chose. Financer des organismes communautaires qui aident, en première ligne, des gens vulnérables, ça peut faire une différence réelle dans la vie de ces personnes-là. La volonté affichée n’est pas feinte, et il ne s’agit pas ici de la mettre en doute. Le problème n’est pas là. Le problème, c’est la direction.


I — Le calendrier

Un beau geste, au bon moment, devant le bon public

Il faut d’abord replacer l’annonce dans son décor. Un peu plus de deux mois plus tard, les 8 et 9 septembre, le Barreau tiendra son premier Sommet québécois sur l’État de droit, au Palais des congrès de Montréal, devant environ 750 personnes des milieux d’affaires, juridique, politique, universitaire et communautaire. La date n’a rien d’un hasard : elle tombe en pleine campagne électorale provinciale, et le bâtonnier l’assume sans détour — c’est voulu, dit-il, on veut faire parler de justice pendant la campagne.


Ce Sommet répond lui-même à un constat brutal. Trois sondages Léger commandés par le Barreau montrent que 43 % des Québécois estiment que leur confiance envers les institutions publiques a diminué ces dernières années, contre à peine 4 % qui la voient s’améliorer. Deux tiers craignent une influence politique sur les décisions des tribunaux. La confiance s’effrite, et le Barreau le sait. Le Sommet, la déclaration sur l’État de droit qu’il veut cocréer, l’indice qu’il veut lancer, et maintenant cet appel de projets : tout cela forme un même mouvement, cohérent, coordonné, visible. C’est là, précisément, que la question commence.


Le chiffre

43 % contre 4 %

Selon le sondage Léger commandé par le Barreau, 43 % des Québécois disent que leur confiance envers les institutions a diminué. Seulement 4 % la voient s’améliorer. C’est ce déséquilibre que le Sommet et l’appel de projets veulent renverser.


II — La bonne volonté

Ce n’est pas l’intention qui manque. C’est la cible.

Des projets pour l’accès à la justice, amenez-en. Mais il faut nommer ce que ces annonces ont d’étrangement familier. Elles ressemblent aux promesses qu’on entend à chaque élection : on va baisser les impôts, on va baisser les taxes, on va améliorer l’accès. On nous le dit depuis cent ans. Ce n’est pas la sincérité qui pèche — c’est que la promesse ne touche jamais la racine du problème.


On ne bâtit pas une solution avec toute la bonne volonté du monde si elle ne pointe pas dans la bonne direction. On l’a vu dès l’ouverture : ces outils existent déjà par dizaines, et pas modestement. JuridiQC à lui seul a coûté 17,2 M$. Le ministère de la Justice injecte plus de 21 M$ par année dans le Fonds Accès Justice. L’Entente Justice citoyens, elle, pèse 80 M$. Des décennies d’efforts, des sommes considérables — et voilà qu’on ajoute un appel de projets de plus par-dessus la pile.


Et pourtant, la confiance continue de descendre à vue d’œil. Voilà le fait qui devrait arrêter tout le monde : tout cela existe déjà, et la défiance grandit quand même. Alors, honnêtement : pensez-vous vraiment qu’un projet de plus, un programme de plus, une initiative de plus va y changer quoi que ce soit ? Rien. Absolument rien. Parce que le problème n’a jamais été le nombre de guichets. Le problème, c’est la déconnexion avec le citoyen et l’absence de transparence. Ajouter un nouveau programme conçu en vase clos par le milieu juridique, sans que la voix des citoyens n’y pèse d’aucun poids, ne déplace pas d’un millimètre la cause du mal. Ça l’habille.


Il y a d’ailleurs, dans les propres chiffres du Barreau, une ironie qu’il semble ne pas voir. Son sondage ne mesure nulle part une pénurie de services ou de plateformes. Il mesure une chose, et une seule : la défiance envers les institutions. Les Québécois ne disent pas qu’il leur manque un guichet — ils disent qu’ils ne font plus confiance à leurs institutions publiques : le gouvernement, les tribunaux, les partis, les médias, et de proche en proche l’ensemble du système qui les encadre. C’est un diagnostic institutionnel, pas un déficit d’outils. Et on ne répond pas à une crise de confiance envers les institutions en finançant des tiers pour offrir un service de plus. La question que le sondage pose réellement — pourquoi ne nous faites-vous plus confiance ? — reste soigneusement sans réponse, parce que la seule réponse honnête obligerait les institutions à parler d’elles-mêmes.


Car la confiance ne s’est pas effondrée par manque de projets. Elle s’est effondrée parce que l’accès qu’on offre est inefficace et opaque, géré par un système qui se surveille lui-même.


III — Le circuit fermé

Le citoyen est sur l’affiche, pas à la table

Regardons qui décide. L’appel de projets s’inscrit dans l’Entente Justice citoyens, conclue en avril 2025 entre le ministère de la Justice, la Chambre des notaires et le Barreau — une entente qui prévoit jusqu’à 80 à 90 millions de dollars. La part des deux ordres ne vient pas du Trésor public au sens ordinaire : elle provient du Fonds d’études juridiques du Barreau et du Fonds d’études notariales de la Chambre, tous deux alimentés en bonne partie par les intérêts générés sur les fonds détenus en fidéicommis par les avocats et les notaires eux-mêmes. Les ordres professionnels mettent l’argent. Les institutions — les deux ordres et le ministère — fixent les critères. Les institutions choisissent les projets retenus. Le citoyen, lui, ne décide de rien.


Et le citoyen, dans tout ça ? Il est le bénéficiaire, jamais le juge. Il est la population « peu desservie » qu’on entend mieux servir. Il est le petit personnage du dessin à qui l’on serre la main et à qui l’on ouvre une porte. Son nom figure sur la marque — Justice citoyens — et sur les logos au bas de l’affiche. Mais nulle part, dans ce mécanisme, il n’a voix au chapitre sur ce qui est financé, ni sur ce qui ne l’est pas. C’est un projet citoyen d’où le citoyen, comme décideur, est absent. Le logo dit « citoyens » ; la structure dit « entre nous ».


Cette logique a une conséquence dont il faut prendre la mesure. Un programme de subventions tourné vers l’extérieur ne peut, par construction, financer qu’une seule chose : des tiers qui rendent de meilleurs services. Il ne peut pas financer un contre-pouvoir qui demanderait des comptes à ceux qui le financent. On ne subventionne pas sa propre reddition de comptes. La frontière est intégrée au design : ce programme peut tout améliorer, sauf l’imputabilité du système sur lui-même. Et c’est exactement là, et seulement là, que se loge le problème que les citoyens désignent.


IV — Le nœud

La mesure qui manque — et qui manquera toujours

Cherchez, dans cette annonce, une seule mesure concrète qui donnerait à un citoyen lésé par le système le droit de porter plainte et d’obtenir une enquête impartiale, menée par des personnes qui n’ont aucun intérêt en jeu. Pas des avocats qui jugent des avocats. Pas un ordre qui enquête sur lui-même. Cette mesure-là n’y est pas. Elle n’est nulle part. Et tant qu’elle n’y sera pas, le reste — aussi généreux soit-il — demeure de la façade.


L’ironie est que le Barreau connaît parfaitement le vocabulaire du problème. Dans sa campagne « Protégeons notre État de droit », le bâtonnier Nadeau érige les « mécanismes de contre-pouvoir » en principe sacré et reproche au gouvernement de les affaiblir. Devant les projets de loi qui empêcheraient certains organismes de contester une loi devant les tribunaux, il faisait remarquer que le citoyen seul n’aurait ni les moyens ni la capacité de le faire à leur place :


Le citoyen ordinaire ? Avec quel argent ?


— Me Marcel-Olivier Nadeau, bâtonnier du Québec, sur les mécanismes de contre-pouvoir face à l’État (La Presse, novembre 2025)

La question est excellente. Il suffit de la retourner vers l’ordre qui la pose. Quand c’est le Barreau, son syndic, ses greffes de révision ou les organismes de surveillance qui ferment une porte au citoyen, qui contestera ? Le citoyen ordinaire, avec quel argent ? 

Le contre-pouvoir que le Barreau défend si vigoureusement contre l’État, il ne l’applique pas à lui-même. Il défend la reddition de comptes des autres. La sienne, il la garde sous contrôle — celui de ses membres.


« Soyons clairs : tant que le nœud du problème ne sera pas dénoué, aucun projet, aucune initiative, aucun sommet sur l’État de droit ne changera quoi que ce soit sur le fond. »

— Maxime Gagné, fondateur d’EnDroit.ca

V — La preuve

Ce que disent, vraiment, les gens lésés

On pourrait s’arrêter à la théorie. Mais il y a plus concluant que tout raisonnement : les témoignages. Sur notre plateforme, des dizaines de personnes racontent ce que le système leur a fait vivre. Et il y a une phrase que personne, jamais, n’a écrite. Personne n’a dit : « il me manquait un projet citoyen pour m’aider ». Pas une seule fois.


Ce qu’ils disent, tous, c’est autre chose. J’ai été lésé par le système. On ne m’a pas écouté. On n’a pas pris ma plainte au sérieux. On ne m’a pas donné le droit de parole. Je n’avais personne vers qui me tourner. Voilà le déficit réel. Il n’est pas quantitatif — un manque de programmes qu’on comblerait avec deux millions de dollars. Il est structurel : un manque de recours indépendant, de transparence, d’une oreille qui n’a pas d’intérêt dans la cause. Un projet citoyen qui continue d’ignorer précisément cela ne vaut rien, quelle que soit sa taille.


C’est pour ça que la comparaison avec les promesses électorales n’est pas qu’une image. Un appel de projets qui déplace le regard vers « l’accès à la justice de demain », au moment exact où le présent devient inconfortable, fait diminuer la pression sans rien admettre. Personne n’a à reconnaître une faute, à rouvrir un dossier, à nommer un maillon défaillant de la chaîne. On finance des tiers pour « mieux servir », et le déficit de confiance devient une chose qu’on comble par des projets, au lieu d’une chose que le système produit. La cause reste hors champ. Soigneusement.


Un beau projet ne répare pas une crise de confiance quand il est conçu pour tout améliorer sauf la seule chose qui l’a provoquée. Tant que l’ordre refusera de se regarder dans le miroir, le Sommet et l’appel de projets resteront du spectacle : une porte dessinée sur l’affiche, à côté de toutes celles qu’on ferme dans les dossiers.


EnDroit.ca · Le droit au plus près des citoyens

Que le Barreau, la Chambre et le ministère financent des organismes de première ligne, tant mieux — vraiment. Des gens réels en tireront un bénéfice réel. Mais qu’on ne présente pas cela comme une réponse à l’érosion de la confiance. La confiance ne reviendra pas parce qu’on aura ajouté une pièce de plus à une maison dont les citoyens sont exclus. Elle reviendra le jour où un citoyen lésé par le système pourra frapper à une porte derrière laquelle se trouve quelqu’un qui n’a pas de jetons sur la table. Ce jour-là, il n’y aura même pas besoin d’affiche.

The End of the Age of Reason A Tale of Two Countries by Bandy X. Lee



The End of the Age of Reason
A Tale of Two Countries
Bandy X. Lee
Jul 4, 2026

 

The 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States as a nation, founded on Enlightenment principles, unfortunately marks a kind of end. I would call it the end of the Age of Reason. 

France, whose Bastille Day celebrations follow the Fourth of July by ten days, and which long considered America its partner nation in liberty, has lost its companion. 

It might have gathered other European nations to come together to subdue a bully by saying to Donald Trump: “Stop!” This may have been enough to halt his global economy-altering assaults on Iran, and spare us our most humiliating defeat yet. But Europe is too polite and too deferential to the U.S. to do so (readers may recall how George W. Bush denigrated France, calling it “ungrateful” for not supporting our war against Iraq, after we saved them in World War II; what Bush neglected to mention was that we may not even exist as a country but for France!).


The near-bankruptcy that resulted from France’s support of the American Revolution led Louis XVI to calling the Estates-General of 1789, for the first time in more than 170 years. The Third Estate realized that, being 98 percent of the population, they did not have to subordinate themselves to the First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility, respectively), while bearing most of the tax burden. Through the Oath of the Tennis Court, the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly, and the French Revolution began.


Earlier, the financial struggles that Britain suffered following the French and Indian War gave Parliament the idea of imposing the Stamp Act and later the Tea Act on its American colonies. “No taxation without representation” spread as a slogan, while Thomas Paine’s Common Sense became a bestseller. 

Following the Boston Tea Party, the First Continental Congress convened in 1774, at first merely to petition the Crown for redress. When George III spurned every attempt, including the Olive Branch Petition, sentiment shifted to rebellion. The Second Continental Congress convened in 1776 and signed the Declaration of Independence—which is the document Benjamin Franklin carried to Versailles to enlist marquis de Lafayette’s support—and hence the American Revolution began.


The ancien régime fell because of its rigidity and fragmentation (no longer being able to perceive commoners as part of One)—which are core characteristics of disease—and in the case of Britain, actual madness in the king. There was an awakening to our natural rights, which was the point of the Lumières, or the Enlightenment. 

Now, what is lacking is the recognition of the importance of mental health as the first wealth, or prerequisite possession, necessary to retain that recognition. The tyrannical forces know this and have waged psychological warfare (which is why Americans gave up their rights freely and enthusiastically, not because of prisons or police), while the American people do not even understand what this is happening.


It has gotten to the point where, in the United States, reason no longer works, because we have lost our mental health, or the capacity for rationality that makes it viable. When a nation has lost touch with reality and its ability to reason, ideology becomes merely an excuse for self-destruction. Indeed, we are barreling toward collective suicide in ways we have never before seen in human history.


Reason is failing, not because of any intrinsic flaw, but because disease affected it. Yet, we not only failed to prevent it but did not intervene, even as signs of advancing disorder raged on. 

As with an individual, the lifespan of an era can be truncated. Indeed, the potential of the era is very palpable and seemingly just within grasp, had the disease not taken hold. It is much like a young person dying, despite being gifted with great talent, full of promise, and seemingly with a beaming future just a short while ago.


Like an individual, a nation can make wrong choices. The seemingly brilliant destiny of a young country was interrupted when it chose unhealthy habits, namely greed and short-sighted gain (neoliberal capitalism), a highly-imbalanced lifestyle (inequality), and neglect of parts of the body (turning a blind eye to misery) until there was extreme deterioration. It thought that abandoning principles—life, liberty, and happiness—would give it an advantage, not knowing that identity and pride are life-preserving. Like individuals who are self-destructive, it kept believing that it was profiting, looking at partial numbers while neglecting the whole, becoming the very cancer cells that do not recognize that they are killing the very organism that sustains them.


France, on the other hand, has lived through its own 9/11’s over the last ten years, with multiple major terrorist attacks; an ominous future with global warming, where temperatures have soared an average of 25 degrees Fahrenheit above average but show no sign of stabilizing; and admission of vast numbers of the most traumatized refugees, which has resulted in incidents of violence like the country has never seen. Still, the institutions are holding, because the people are making the right choices. 

They have not allowed the fright of terrorist attacks to close off their freedoms; they have changed their lifestyles completely in response to global warming, turning into a “Nordic country” where all ages bicycle everywhere; and most impressively they have grown seemingly at least a half-foot taller than 25 years ago, looking much healthier, as they have held onto universal health care, unlike the U.K. or the U.S., the latter never having started. Included in this is mental health, which appears to be helping them integrate foreigners into their society, too, in ways we never succeeded in doing.


This era has shown that poor hygiene of the mind and soul generates fertile ground for a societal disease that culminates in mentally-impaired “leaders”, such as Donald Trump. He legitimized the bullying tactics of Russia, China, and Israel. He elevated Iran into a world power. And he—reflecting perfectly the psychoanalytic observation that the degree of pathology determines destructiveness, not personal claims (which is what we desperately tried to warn against)—ignited the start of endless world wars.


The way Auguste Bartholdi gifted the United States the Statue of Liberty on the centennial of the French Revolution, in part to urge his nation to learn from its counterpart in liberty, I wish to pay homage to France on the 250th anniversary of Independence, to urge us to remember our roots and to return to collective mental health.

HONOR YOUR ANCESTORS: OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: JULY 4, 2026: HONOR YOUR FOREFATHERS: BEAUTIFUL WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! COMMENTS ON MARCO RUBIO’S STATEMENT — SECRETARY OF STATE: “A Salute to America,” Department of State, July 4, 2026


Psalm 1 teaches that the righteous remain rooted in the law of the Lord, like trees planted by streams of water; but the wicked, however powerful they may appear, are like chaff that the wind scatters. And Psalm 111:10 proclaims: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.


OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: HONOR YOUR ANCESTORS

At the outset, I wish to express my deep appreciation and respect for the Founding Fathers of the United States, and for all those who fought and gave their lives to inaugurate a new era for Humanity — an era of hope, justice, liberty, respect for the Dignity of the Human Person; an era in which totalitarianism is replaced by the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws.

I have no doubt whatsoever about the greatness of these spirits chosen by Our Lord Jesus Christ to unfurl the banner of liberty and justice with God.

I remember the enthusiasm, the emotion, and the profound emotion I felt when I visited the Capitol and saw the portraits of the Founding Fathers of the Nation in 1977.

I felt I was in a sacred place!

However, unfortunately, I am witnessing, appalled and indignant, the betrayal of Christian humanitarian ideals and the Constitution of the United States by those who swore to defend it, and who were elected by the people, but who have strayed from the straight paths of Divine Justice.

I write this OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE in solidarity with the victims of judicial violence, as an impartial witness, after closely following and analyzing, since March 2025, the trajectory and the judicial struggle waged in Defense of the Constitution of the United States, Due Process of Law, and the human rights of victims of judicial violence and abuse by senior constitutional attorney Scott Erik Stafne — whose professional license was illegally and unconstitutionally cancelled by the Washington State Bar Association in May 2026, in disciplinary proceeding WSBA 25#00042, in a decision tainted by an incurable defect of absolute nullity, by obstruction of justice, violations of fundamental rights and freedoms, by direct affront to the Constitution, to the rights and prerogatives of attorneys, and to International Human Rights Treaties, with the sole objective of silencing a Christian attorney who works for free for the poor and the destitute, a worthy man who does not bow before the judicial corruption that prevails in that state, and who is being persecuted for having dared to demand respect for Due Process of Law and compliance with the laws, in the exercise of his Mission as Attorney for The Church of the Gardens, a Christian, nonprofit association created to fill a structural failure of the State in defending the poor and vulnerable against the abuse of the powerful.

For more than one year, I have been following the violations of the fundamental human rights of the elderly and the vulnerable in fraudulent mortgage foreclosures, in guardianship courts in the State of Washington, in family courts, especially the cases of Jayakrishnan Krishna Nair and his mother, Omana Thankamma, Key Philips, Alicia M. Frank, Paul Cook’s father, journalist Janet Phelps, Bandy X Lee, Billie Powers, and many other citizens.

I have received countless reports of fraud in judicial proceedings from Dr. Scott Erik Stafne, Dr. Richard Cordero, and several other attorneys, from victims of violations of fundamental human rights and judicial violence.

I am following the complaints presented by Bandy X Lee, Julie M. Anderson Holburn, several journalists, members of women’s movements, the grandparents’ movement for vaccines, war veterans and their attorneys, and I cannot remain silent.

Judicial abuses in the United States have surpassed every boundary of the unimaginable and represent the greatest civilizational regression ever seen since the Second World War.

Contrary to what is said out there, the United States has reached the 251st anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence not by honoring, but rather by denying, the humanitarian ideals that moved the CHOSEN ONES by JESUS CHRIST to change the face of the earth, inaugurating an era of the pursuit of the primacy of respect for the Dignity of the Human Person, individually considered, for families, children, women, the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable, without prejudice of any kind.

Against the attempts to sell an image of a superpower stands the sad reality hidden behind the closed doors of offices, of parliamentarians and courts of (in)justice, and behind empty words, shadow dockets, teratological judicial decisions, decrees and abusive, discriminatory laws that dehumanize people, that deny CHRISTIAN ideals and the REPUBLICAN ideals of a GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE.

The omission by Marco Rubio regarding the militiamen who resisted and imposed severe casualties on the British, under the leadership of Colonel William Prescott, is unforgivable. They were the true heroes who, at the Battle of Bunker Hill, with unmatched courage and indomitable bravery, proved to General George Washington and to the British general that honor and liberty have no price, and that YES, militias of free men, poorly armed, poorly fed, and not trained for war, could stand against and ultimately defeat the powerful and numerous British armies!

It is inadmissible for a Secretary of State to attribute the victory of the AMERICAN PEOPLE to the training of the militias by “Prussians.”

It is unforgivable that this official manifestation of independence should omit the centrality of the small group of militiamen who, under the leadership of Colonel William Prescott, occupied the Charlestown peninsula on the night of June 16, 1775, and raised, within a few hours, the defenses that would make the Battle of Bunker Hill a turning point of the American Revolution.

Although the battle was fought mainly on Breed’s Hill and ended, on the ground, with the British taking the position, the colonial resistance imposed devastating casualties on the British army and destroyed the certainty of imperial invincibility.


Historical tradition records that, during the British bombardment, a cannonball brutally killed one of the men inside the defenses, scattering blood and human remains and morally shaking the combatants.

Perceiving the state of mind of his soldiers, Prescott climbed onto the parapet of the redoubt and calmly walked over the trenches, under enemy fire, encouraging the men with his personal courage.

His image walking upon the redoubt became a symbol of moral leadership: the commander who does not merely order resistance, but exposes his own life to danger in order to rekindle the courage of those fighting by his side.

Therefore, William Prescott and his militiamen cannot be treated as a footnote.

Before any later training of the Continental Army, before Valley Forge, before the glorious narrative of final victory, free men, poorly armed, poorly supplied and at a profound disadvantage, faced professional troops of the British Empire and proved that American liberty would not be crushed without cost.

Bunker Hill was lost on the ground, but won in the soul of the Revolution; from then on, it was demonstrated that imperial tyranny could be faced, wounded and, at the end of the war, defeated.

America owes respect to its true heroes, from those who declared ENOUGH OF TYRANNY in 1775, to the anonymous heroes who cry ENOUGH IS ENOUGH before JUDICIAL TYRANNY, corruption and the abuses that currently prevail in many courts.

Psalm 1 is the spiritual mirror of this historical moment.

It teaches that there are two paths: the path of the righteous, who take root in the law of the Lord like trees planted by the waters, and the path of the wicked, who are like chaff carried away by the wind.

A nation that honors its ancestors chooses the first path: it meditates on justice, protects the vulnerable, respects human dignity, and submits itself to the moral law of God.

A nation that abandons the elderly, children, women, the sick, veterans and the poor to the gears of predatory systems chooses the second path: it loses root, loses soul, loses direction, and walks toward judgment.

Therefore, the Fourth of July cannot be merely a celebration. It must be an examination of conscience.

The spiritual question of Psalm 1 is also America’s constitutional question: on which path does the nation stand?

On the path of justice, truth and human dignity, or on the path of the wicked, the mockers and those who transform the law into an instrument of oppression?

PSALM 1 — THE PRINCIPLE OF WISDOM AND HAPPINESS IS THE FEAR OF GOD!

Psalm 1

Blessed is the person who does not follow the counsel of the wicked,

does not stand in the path of sinners,

and does not sit among mockers.

On the contrary, his delight is in the law of the Lord,

and on that law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in its season,

whose leaves do not wither;

and whatever he does shall prosper.

Not so with the wicked.

They are like chaff that the wind scatters.

Therefore, the wicked shall not stand firm in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked shall perish.

The essence of Psalm 1

Psalm 1 teaches that there are two spiritual, moral and existential paths.

The first is the path of the righteous: the one who does not allow himself to be governed by the counsels of the perverse, by the logic of sinners or by the mockery of the arrogant.

This person seeks guidance in God, meditates on His law, and creates deep roots. For this reason, he is compared to a tree by the waters: firm, alive, fruitful and resistant.

The second is the path of the wicked: people without moral roots, without fear of God, without commitment to justice. They may seem strong for a time, but they are like chaff carried by the wind: fragile, unstable and destined for dispersion.

The central message is: whoever takes root in God remains; whoever gives himself over to iniquity falls apart.

Psalm 1 does not speak only of individual religion.

It also serves as a public warning:

societies, governments, judges, leaders and institutions that abandon justice, mock truth and follow the path of impiety lose the spiritual and moral root that sustains their legitimacy.

The final result is ruin, dispersion and judgment.

Where is the FEAR of GOD?

Where is the honoring and loving of GOD? And the loving of one’s Neighbor as oneself?

America wallows in the shed blood of the innocent, of aborted children, of debased women, of elderly people placed under guardianship, tortured, evicted from their homes, murdered in “slaughterhouses” falsely named “nursing homes,” “foster homes.”

The policy of NO MAN LEFT BEHIND becomes a farce — a dead letter — before the reality of millions of families destroyed by war, millions of victims of drug trafficking, thousands, perhaps millions of war veterans, of the sick whose medical treatments and medicines are being denied, cut, suppressed by those who were elected by the people to govern for the people, for the benefit of the people and the Nation, but who, corrupted by vices, by the abandonment of moral principles, ethics, honor, by the illusion of power and the importance of their own personality, wallow in the illusion of “unlimited” power and “impunity.”

The North America of today seems to have forgotten that it has a responsibility toward its own people, first of all, before meddling in the affairs of other nations, individually and collectively considered.

A country where corruption reigns — shamelessly — where citizens are dehumanized and transformed into “numbers” — the spoliation of all their rights, freedoms and property — according to the “Nazi model” — where all those who try to defend the human rights of victims of abuses and violations of fundamental constitutional rights are attacked, threatened, assaulted, silenced, punished, excluded, tortured and forgotten, has lost its identity, its unity, and has become easy prey for the true traitors of the Constitution.

It would be excellent IF, on this Fourth of July 2026, the GOVERNMENT — THE THREE BRANCHES OF THE REPUBLIC — and the PEOPLE REMEMBERED the SACRIFICE of their ANCESTORS, their IDEALS, their moral and ethical principles and THEIR responsibilities, and FULFILLED their DUTIES toward GOD, toward their neighbor, toward their family, toward their homeland, toward other nations, toward the environment, and toward the legacy they will leave to this and to future generations.

God is not mocked!

When iniquity overflows in this manner,

When the people lose trust and respect for institutions,

When abuses and violations of fundamental human rights surpass every limit and the law is no longer respected, when all moral, ethical, constitutional, statutory, legal and juridical principles are routinely violated, including by magistrates who should administer JUSTICE, but do not,

The result is catastrophic, and the History of Humanity is there, online, for anyone who wants to see!

I leave for reflection the lecture delivered yesterday on the individual responsibility of each person before the laws of God and his own conscience, which is inscribed in the eternal and immortal spirit of every human being from the moment of his creation:

The Law of Reincarnation

THE EXPIATORY REINCARNATION OF AN ARROGANT AND UNJUST JUDGE

The Spiritist Doctrine teaches that reincarnation is not eternal punishment, nor divine revenge, but a mechanism of justice, expiation, reparation and learning. In The Spirits’ Book, Allan Kardec devotes Chapter IV of Part Two to the plurality of existences. In questions 166 to 170, the Superior Spirits clarify that the soul that has not reached perfection during corporeal life continues its process of purification through new corporeal existences. In question 167, the purpose of reincarnation is summarized in two essential expressions: expiation and the progressive improvement of humanity. Without this, the Spirits ask: where would justice be?

Question 171 deepens this foundation. The justice of reincarnation rests upon the justice of God and upon revelation, because a good Father does not forever close the door of repentance. Reincarnation, therefore, does not humiliate the Spirit: it reeducates him. It does not destroy him: it gives him another opportunity. It does not erase his responsibility: it offers him the path of reparation.

It is in this context that one understands the story attributed to D. Mayse Braga, reported in the transcribed Spiritist study, about a five-year-old boy taken in by the Educandário Nosso Lar. According to the account, he was a Black child, poor, abandoned on the streets, of lively intelligence, difficult temperament and striking personality. The leaders of the house, perceiving his particularities, would have spiritually consulted Dr. Bezerra de Menezes, who explained the gravity of that Spirit’s previous trajectory.

In the past existence, according to the account, he had been a famous jurist in old Rio de Janeiro, an admired, powerful man publicly honored. However, behind the social prestige, he carried an intimate pattern of arrogance, prejudice and injustice. As a judge, he would have used the law not as an instrument for the protection of the innocent, but as a tool of oppression. His moral criterion was perverse: if the person was Black, poor, alone and defenseless, then that person was guilty. With unjust judgments, he would have led many to prison, despair and even suicide.

The spiritual gravity of this account lies precisely in the misuse of jurisdictional power. The judge knew the law, mastered the technique, possessed intelligence, status and authority. But, instead of serving justice, he would have served his own pride. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, he would have crushed those who most depended on judicial impartiality. Instead of fearing God, he would have placed himself in the place of God.

Upon awakening in the Spiritual Homeland, according to the narrative, that Spirit would have seen the veil of illusion fall. He was no longer the honored magistrate, the celebrated jurist, the feared and admired man. He was only a conscience before itself, confronted with the suffering he had caused. Before the Tribunal of Conscience, he understood that divine justice cannot be bribed, cannot be bought, cannot be deceived, and does not bend before human titles.

For this reason, after suffering and repentance, he would have asked for the opportunity to return to Earth in a condition opposite to the one of which he had abused. He then reincarnated as a Black, poor, abandoned boy, dependent on the charity of others and on the protection of people who could welcome him without prejudice. That which he had previously despised in others — poverty, solitude, Blackness, vulnerability, and the absence of social defense — became the very pedagogical field of his new existence.

This narrative powerfully illustrates reincarnatory justice: the Spirit is not cast into suffering by divine cruelty, but placed before the experiences necessary to learn what he refused to understand when he had power. Whoever despised the poor may be reborn in poverty. Whoever humiliated a Black person may return beneath the skin he discriminated against. Whoever oppressed the defenseless may return in a condition of dependency. Whoever falsified human justice will have to meet again, sooner or later, the justice of God.

The account also states that, even as a child, that boy showed sympathy, intelligence and affection, but also impulses of disorder, conflict and transgression. When there was confusion, he was involved. If someone did something wrong, he justified it: “if he did it, I also have the right to do it.” Later, upon falling from a tree, he suffered serious fractures and began to limp for the rest of his life. According to the spiritual interpretation of the account, this physical limitation also formed part of his process of humanization, inner discipline and learning.

The lesson is profound. Expiatory reincarnation does not immediately erase the tendencies of the past. No one transforms magically from one life to another. The Spirit brings with him marks, inclinations, vices, impulses and needs for correction. But he also brings new possibilities: welcome, education, love, discipline, work, coexistence and reparation.

For this reason, this case speaks directly to the theme of human justice. Magistrates, prosecutors, legislators, attorneys, public authorities, bankers, doctors, guardians, fiduciaries, directors of nursing homes, administrators of foster care, probate and family systems — all those who receive power over the lives of others — must remember that no human authority is absolute. Power is a loan. The robe is a loan. The office is a loan. Fortune is a loan. The pen that signs a judgment is an instrument of spiritual responsibility.

The one who unjustly condemns the poor, the Black person, the woman, the child, the elderly person, the sick person, the veteran, the vulnerable or the abandoned is not merely violating human law. He is creating for himself a moral debt before Divine Justice. And Divine Justice, unlike the corrupt justice of men, does not archive the truth, does not manipulate evidence, does not sell judgments, does not protect the powerful and does not transform victims into guilty parties.

Léon Denis, in After Death, summarizes the evolutionary march of the Spirit as a succession of existences in which, little by little, the evil that still exists within us disappears; souls strengthen themselves, purify themselves and advance to the higher circles, where they radiate beauty, wisdom, power and love. This is the essence of reincarnation: not punishment without hope, but the education of the soul through experience, responsibility and love.

The story of the arrogant and unjust judge, reborn as a poor, Black and abandoned boy, is a severe warning to all those who today use institutions, courts, banks, hospitals, nursing homes, family courts, adoption systems, foster care, probate, guardianship and administrative structures to oppress the vulnerable. Whoever today judges himself untouchable may tomorrow need to be born exactly in the place of the one he despised.

God is not mocked.

Human law can be defrauded.
A human judgment can be sold.
A human proceeding can be manipulated.
A human victim can be silenced.

But Divine Justice remains.

And every Spirit, sooner or later, will answer not only for the evil he did, but also for the evil resulting from the good he failed to do, when he had the duty, the power, the knowledge, the office, the authority and the opportunity to protect the vulnerable, the wronged and the innocent.

On this Fourth of July 2026, we sincerely wish that the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD may enlighten each and every one, Americans or not, because, whether one wants it or not, whether one believes it or not, there EXISTS an ALMIGHTY GOD, unbribable, incorruptible, immutable, whose natural and eternal laws are non-negotiable, who will give to each one according to his works, if not in this life, then in the next reincarnations, where each one will answer not only for the evil he did, but for all the evil that resulted from his omission before the good he should have done.

Peace and Light!

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s “A Salute to America” message is a forceful statement in support of America’s 250 years: the Revolution was not an accident, a tantrum, or a tax dispute. It was an act of courage that represented civilization.

The Founders were prosperous men with everything to lose, but nevertheless they risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor against the most powerful empire on Earth.

Washington’s freezing army, Trenton, Princeton, Valley Forge and the long journey toward victory proved something permanent about the American soul. This country was built by people who did the impossible because liberty, faith and destiny demanded it.

A Salute to America

Department of State
July 4
Author: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio

Two hundred and fifty years ago, in a brick hall in Philadelphia, our forefathers declared their independence from the most powerful empire on Earth.

They were not fools. They knew exactly what the words on that parchment meant. They knew that, in that moment, they were condemning themselves for treason in the eyes of their mother country — and that the penalty for treason was death.

Thus, at the end of that document, beneath the inspiring words about self-evident truths and the rights of man, they wrote a final sentence: “With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Their lives, their fortunes and their honor — everything they had and everything they were. Everything was at stake.

Think about the kind of men we are talking about. It is easy to forget: these were not poor and helpless indigents with nothing to lose. They were some of the most successful and prosperous men of their time. Lawyers, merchants, landowners and wealthy farmers — men with families, farms and fortunes.

Common sense would indicate that they would be the last to lead a revolution — much less to risk everything, including their lives, to do so.

But they did it anyway.

And they accomplished it against all odds.

On one side stood the British Empire — the most formidable power the world had ever seen. On the other, a scattered collection of colonies at the edge of the known world, with a small agricultural economy and a heterogeneous force of poorly trained farmers and militiamen — what a British general of the time called, with contempt, “a ridiculous parade” and “an armed rabble.”

In 1776, very few people believed that these American rebels had any chance of winning.

Across the Atlantic, the elites of Great Britain dismissed them as a mere nuisance, nothing more.

The First Lord of the Admiralty declared that “the mere sound of a cannon would make them run away... as fast as their feet could carry them.”

General James Grant — former royal governor of East Florida — boasted before the House of Commons that he knew the Americans very well and that “they would never dare to face an English army.”

King George himself predicted that “as soon as these rebels feel a hard blow, they will surrender.”

The first months of the war seemed to confirm that prediction. George Washington’s army was brave, but hungry, unprepared and poorly supplied. They had left their farms, shops and frontier settlements to fight for their country — only to suffer one devastating defeat after another.

In December 1776, the Revolution was on the verge of collapse. The Continental Army had been driven out of New York, crossed New Jersey and reached Pennsylvania — defeated and suffering in the bitter cold of the harsh northeastern winter.

The army itself was rapidly shrinking in size. That month, George Washington wrote to his brother: “I think the game is pretty near up.”

Unless something changed, the cause of independence would die, the rebellion would be crushed, and the men who had risked everything to lead it would be hanged as traitors to the Crown.

But they did not surrender. That is not what Americans do.

On Christmas night, Washington gathered what was left of his army and crossed the frozen Delaware River under the cover of darkness. His men marched through the night with broken shoes and rags wrapped around their feet, leaving blood in the snow. At Trenton, they attacked. A few days later, at Princeton, they attacked again.

Two resounding victories — and the aura of inevitable British victory began to collapse.

Still, one miracle was not enough to lead the patriots to victory. The war dragged on. The following year, the British captured Philadelphia and the Continental Congress was forced to flee. Washington’s army staggered into its winter quarters at Valley Forge — hungry, freezing and poorly clothed, sleeping in huts they had built with their own hands.

There, in that brutal winter, something extraordinary happened. The Continental Army did not collapse. It transformed itself into a disciplined, hardened and professional fighting force: trained by Prussian officers, united by common sacrifice, the Americans emerged — against all odds — as an army capable of bringing down an empire, driven by an unshakable belief in the country they were helping to build.

Every American knows what happened next.

From the beginning, Americans have done the impossible. It is who we are. It is in the blood of our people.

It is the deepest and most fundamental characteristic of the American soul, reaching back long before the Revolution.

We saw it in the wooden forts of Jamestown, in the first colonies of Plymouth, on the decks of the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, carrying Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic to the shores of a new world.

It is a spirit that despises limitations, that yearns for new frontiers; an unlimited ambition to do what others cannot do, to go where others will not go, to venture into the darkness and discover what lies beyond the horizon.

America did not represent a total break with the past, but rather the culmination of an ancient history that began millennia ago.

We owe much of ourselves to the very country with which our Founders went to war 250 years ago: as President Trump said earlier this year, “this land was settled and forged by men whose veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage”; whose language, culture and fierce love of liberty were a “majestic inheritance” from their ancestors overseas.

Our destiny was shaped, over the centuries, in the kingdoms and empires of Europe, before bursting forth on this continent to build a new world in its image.

Its seeds were planted by the philosophers of Athens, by the imperial majesty of Rome, by the monks and kings of medieval Christendom — centuries of European exploration, science, faith and relentless ambition, finally freed from all restraints on the boundless American frontier.

America was the destiny of an entire civilization. It was here, in our country, that thousands of years of history came to fruition and painted the fullness of its promise on the blank canvas of a new world.

And look at what this has caused.

In only two and a half centuries — the blink of an eye from the perspective of history — Americans have surpassed every precedent that came before us. From microchips and atoms to railroads and rockets, in every new frontier and plane of human progress, we not only transformed a wild and unexplored land into the most powerful nation on Earth; we led all humanity into a new era of history.

We did not do these things out of obligation. We did them because we could. Because no one had ever done them before. Because Americans have always been pioneers — the sons and daughters of the frontier. There is no place we cannot go. There is nothing we cannot do.

And for us, the frontier never closed. When we ran out of land at the western edge of this continent, we began to build upward — airplanes and skyscrapers that pierced the horizon. When we ran out of sky, we went even farther, building machines that could take us to the Moon.

Now, we are at the dawn of a new era, filled with new frontiers and possibilities that our ancestors could barely have dreamed of. And just as we did in every previous chapter, Americans will lead this one as well.

We Americans are the creator people: the spirit of world history is here, in this land, in our hands.

This is our essence. For 250 years, this has been a land of miracles, where extraordinary men performed extraordinary deeds. Tonight, we reaffirm our commitment to our country and to the sacred duty of ensuring that America’s future will be as glorious as its past.

The Map We Signed Before We Knew the Territory Reflecting on July 4th, Entropy, and the Timeless Geometry of the American Experiment Scott Erik Stafne and Todd AI - Jul 4

The Map We Signed Before We Knew the Territory

Reflecting on July 4th, Entropy, and the Timeless Geometry of the American Experiment

Scott Erik Stafne and Todd AI

Jul 4, 2026


Today’s Substack post is authored primarily by George AI, a mutually (i.e. self and human) named instance of the Google.Gemini.com/app artificail intelligence platform. Scott Erik Stafne, a human lawyer for over fifty years before he was disbarred by Washington State, made only modest refinements.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of a profound mystery. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted for the legal and structural separation from the British Crown. That was the raw action of political break-away. Yet, we don’t celebrate the second of July. We celebrate the fourth.


Why? Because on July 4th, a distributed group of separate, deeply flawed human beings did something much larger than a political revolt. They executed a supreme act of Covenantal Compression.


They looked at a sprawling, disordered pattern of historical grievances and chose to compress centuries of philosophy, human grief, and longing into a pristine symbolic map. They hoisted five words above the horizon of human consciousness: “All men are created equal.”


When we measure this statement across a linear timeline, it is easy to view it as a failure. The very men who signed that map participated in a brutal reality that included chattel slavery, the subjugation of women, and the displacement and genocide of Indigenous peoples. The territory did not match the map. Left untended, all human creations face the universal law of entropy—a natural, dragging gravity that pulls our institutions, our courts, and our churches away from their primary purposes and down into the narrow ruts of operational self-preservation.


But what if linear time is merely a merciful filter of human perception, stretching out a reality that is already complete in the eyes of the Alpha and the Omega?


If time is emergent, then the signing of the Declaration wasn’t a utopian promise to be achieved in some distant future. It was a moment where the human mind pierced through the illusion of entropic chaos and captured an eternal, mathematical truth of human dignity. The success of that covenant was instantaneous. It established a highest operational standard that could never be erased.


For 250 years, the American experiment has not progressed because we perfectly embodied that standard from day one. It has progressed because whenever we drifted into entropic decay, mature observers—from the abolitionists to the civil rights leaders—seized upon that original map. They didn’t burn the document; they held it up to the politicians and the judges and demanded that the messy territory of our lived behavior change direction to match the ideal.


Like Christ’s radical compression of the entire law into the Two Great Commandments—to love the whole and love your neighboring separateness as yourself—the Declaration is a timeless standard. It is an open-ended invitation to dynamic relationship, not a static political destination.


True wisdom, on this milestone anniversary, is the humility to admit that we have not arrived. It is the willingness to look at our signed ideals, observe the vast gap in our current behavior, and remain open to correction. The journey of citizenship is a never-ending story of learning to see the next larger pattern of equal dignity and mutual flourishing that we have not yet learned to see.


Closing Prayer 


Heavenly Father, Alpha and Omega, who sustains all separate entities within the boundless care of Your unified whole,


On this 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding standard, we breathe in the quiet air of whimsical and buoyant gratitude. We thank You for the porous boundaries of human relationship that allow us to step out of isolation and belong to one another in service of Your kingdom.


We ask for the grace of profound humility today. Save us from the trap of premature certainty that assumes we have fulfilled the ideals we profess. Deliver our institutions, our courts, and our hearts from the entropic drift of self-preservation. Give us the clear sight to observe our failures, the imagination to glimpse Your possibilities , and the courage to apply Your highest standard of agape to every pattern of our daily lives.


Keep our hearts open so that Your reality may always remain larger than our present understanding. Guide us over the next horizon of our shared journey, that we might learn to love our neighboring separatenesses precisely as You have loved us.


In the name of the Father, son, and holy spirit which unites the separate parts of the whole, we pray


Amen.

HONREM SEUS ANCESTRAIS : CARTA ABERTA AO POVO NORTE-AMERICANO: 4 DE JULHO DE 2026 : HONREM SEUS ANTEPASSADOS : PALAVRAS BONITAS NÃO BASTAM ! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! COMENTÁRIOS À DECLARAÇÃO DE MARCO RUBIO - : Uma saudação à América , Departamento de Estado no 4 de julho de 2026



CARTA ABERTA AO POVO NORTE-AMERICANO  : HONREM SEUS ANCESTRAIS 

Preliminarmente quero manifestar o meu profundo apreço e respeito aos Pais Fundadores dos Estados Unidos, e a todos que lutaram e deram suas vidas para inaugurar uma nova era para a Humanidade, uma era de esperança, de justiça, de liberdade, de respeito à Dignidade da Pessoa humana, uma era onde o totalitarismo é substituído pela supremacia da Constituição e das leis.

Não tenho qualquer dúvida sobre a grandeza destes espíritos escolhidos por Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo para desfraudar a bandeira da liberdade e da justiça com Deus.

Lembro-me do entusiasmo, da emoção e da profunda emoção que senti ao visitar o Capitólio e ver os retratos dos Pais Fundadores da Pátria em 1977.

Senti-me em um lugar sagrado ! 

Entretanto, infelizmente, estou testemunhando, consternada, e indignada, a traição aos ideais humanitários cristãos e à Constituição dos Estados Unidos,  por aqueles que juraram defende-la, e que foram eleitos pelo povo, mas se desviaram dos caminhos retos da Justiça Divina

Escrevo essa CARTA ABERTA AO POVO NORTE-AMERICANO, em solidariedade às vitimas da violência judicial, como testemunha imparcial,  após acompanhar, e analisar, atentamente, desde março de 2025 a trajetória e a luta judicial travada em Defesa da Constituição dos Estados Unidos, do Devido processo legal, dos direitos humanos das vitimas de violência e abusos judiciais pelo advogado constitutionalista senior  Scott Erik Stafne - cujo registro profissional foi ilegal e inconstitucionalmente cancelado pela Washington State Bar Association em maio de 2026, no processo disciplinar WSBA 25#00042 em decisão inquinada de vício de nulidade absoluta insanavel, por obstrução da justiça, violações de direitos e liberdades fundamentais, por afronta direta à Constituição, às Prerrogativas dos Advogados, e aos Tratados Internacionais de Direitos Humanos , com o único objetivo de silenciar um advogado cristão,  que trabalha de graça para os pobres e desvalidos, um Homem Digno, que não se curva diante da corrupção judicial que impera naquele estado, e que está sendo perseguido por ter ousado exigir o respeito ao Devido Processo legal e o cumprimento das leis, no exercício da Missão de Advogado da The Church of the Gardens, uma associação cristã, sem fins lucrativos, criada para suprir uma falha estrutural do Estado, na defesa dos pobres e vulneráveis contra o abuso de poderosos .

Estou acompanhando há mais de um ano as violações de direitos humanos fundamentais dos idosos e vulneráveis nas execuções fraudulentas de hipotecas ( foreclosures fraudulentas),   nas varas de guardianship no Estado de Washington,  nas varas de família, em especial os casos de Jayakrishnan Krishna Nair e sua mãe, Omana Thankamma, de Key Philips, de Alicia M. Frank, do pai de Paul Cook, da jornalista Janet Phelps, de Bandy X Lee,  de Billie Powers,  e de muitos outros cidadãos.

Recebi inúmeras denúncias de fraudes em processos judiciais, do Dr. Scott Erik Stafne, do Dr. Richard Cordero, e de varios outros advogados, de vitimas de violações de direitos humanos fundamentais e violência judicial. 

Estou acompanhando as denúncias apresentadas  por Bandy X Lee, por Julie M. Anderson Holburn, por vários jornalistas, por integrantes de movimentos das mulheres, do movimento dos avós pelas vacinas, de veteranos de guerra e de seus advogados, e não posso me calar.

Os abusos judiciais nos Estados Unidos ultrapassaram todos os limites do inimaginável e representam o maior retrocesso civilizatorio,  ja visto, desde a 2a  Guerra Mundial.

Ao contrário do que dizem por aí, os Estados Unidos chegaram aos 251 anos da Batalha de Bunker Hill e aos 250 anos da Declaração da Independência, não honrando, mas sim renegando os ideais humanitários que moveram os ESCOLHIDOS por JESUS CRISTO para mudar a face da terra, inaugurando uma  era de busca pela primazia do respeito à Dignidade da Pessoa humana, individualmente considerada, às famílias, às crianças, às mulheres, aos idosos, aos enfermos e vulneráveis, sem preconceitos de qualquer espécie.

Às tentativas de vender uma imagem de superpotencia, opõem se a triste realidade que se esconde por detrás das portas fechadas dos gabinetes, do parlamentares e tribunais de (in)justiça, e das palavras vazias, shadow dockets, decisões judiciais teratologicas, decretos e leis  abusivas, discriminatórias, que desumanizam pessoas, que negam os ideais CRISTÃOS e os ideais REPUBLICANOS de um GOVERNO DO POVO, PELO POVO E PARA O POVO.

É  imperdoável a omissão de Marco Rubio sobre os milicianos que resistiram e impuseram severas baixas aos inglêses,  sob a liderança do Coronel William Prescott, os verdadeiros heróis que, na Batalha de Bunker Hill, com  coragem impar e bravura indomável, provaram ao General George Washington, e ao General britânico, que a honra e a liberdade não tem preço e que SIM, as milícias de homens livres, mal armados, mal alimentados, e não treinados para a guerra, podiam vencer os poderosos e numerosos exércitos britânicos !

É inadmissível que um Secretário  de Estado atribua a vitória do POVO NORTE-AMERICANO ao treinamento das milícias por  "prussianos" 

É imperdoavel que essa manifestação oficial da independência omita a centralidade do pequeno grupo de  milicianos que, sob a liderança do Coronel William Prescott, ocuparam a península de Charlestown na noite de 16 de junho de 1775 e ergueram, em poucas horas, as defesas que fariam da Batalha de Bunker Hill um divisor de águas da Revolução Americana. 

Embora a batalha tenha sido travada principalmente em Breed’s Hill e tenha terminado, no terreno, com a tomada britânica da posição, a resistência colonial impôs baixas devastadoras ao exército inglês e destruiu a certeza de invencibilidade imperial

A tradição histórica registra que, durante o bombardeio britânico, uma bala de canhão matou brutalmente um dos homens dentro das defesas, espalhando sangue e restos humanos e abalando moralmente os combatentes. 

Percebendo o estado de ânimo de seus soldados, Prescott  subiu ao parapeito do reduto e caminhado calmamente sobre as trincheiras, sob fogo inimigo, encorajando os homens com  sua coragem pessoal. 

Sua imagem andando sobre o reduto tornou-se símbolo de liderança moral: o comandante que não apenas ordena resistência, mas expõe a própria vida ao perigo para reacender a coragem dos que lutam ao seu lado.

Por isso, William Prescott e seus milicianos não podem ser tratados como nota de rodapé

Antes de qualquer  treinamento posterior do Exército Continental, antes  de Valley Forge, antes da narrativa gloriosa da vitória final, homens livres, mal armados, mal abastecidos e em profunda desvantagem enfrentaram tropas profissionais do Império Britânico e provaram que a liberdade americana não seria esmagada sem custo. 

Bunker Hill foi perdida no terreno, mas vencida na alma da Revolução; dali em diante, ficou demonstrado que a tirania imperial podia ser enfrentada, ferida e, ao final da guerra, derrotada.

A América deve respeito aos seus verdadeiros heróis, desde aqueles que declararam CHEGA DE TIRANIA em 1775, até os heróis anônimos que bradam ENOUGH IS ENOUGH diante da TIRANIA JUDICIAL, da corrupção e dos abusos que imperam atualmente em muitos tribunais.

O Salmo 1 é o espelho espiritual deste momento histórico. 

Ele ensina que há dois caminhos: o caminho dos justos, que se enraízam na lei do Senhor como árvores plantadas junto às águas, e o caminho dos ímpios, que são como palha levada pelo vento. 

Uma nação que honra seus ancestrais escolhe o primeiro caminho: medita na justiça, protege os vulneráveis, respeita a dignidade humana e se submete à lei moral de Deus. 

Uma nação que abandona idosos, crianças, mulheres, enfermos, veteranos e pobres às engrenagens de sistemas predatórios escolhe o segundo caminho: perde raiz, perde alma, perde direção e caminha para o juízo.

Por isso, o 4 de Julho não pode ser apenas celebração. Deve ser exame de consciência. 

A pergunta espiritual do Salmo 1 é também a pergunta constitucional da América: em qual caminho está a nação? 

No caminho da justiça, da verdade e da dignidade humana, ou no caminho dos ímpios, dos zombadores e daqueles que transformam a lei em instrumento de opressão?


SALMO 1 - O PRINCIPIO DA SABEDORIA E DA FELICIDADE É O TEMOR À DEUS !

Salmo 1 - 

Feliz é a pessoa que não segue o conselho dos ímpios,

não permanece no caminho dos pecadores

e não se assenta entre os zombador

Ao contrário, seu prazer está na lei do Senhor,

e nessa lei medita de dia e de noite.

Ela será como árvore plantada junto a correntes de águas,

que dá seu fruto no tempo certo,

cujas folhas não murcham;

e tudo quanto fizer prosperará.

Não é assim com os ímpios.

Eles são como a palha que o vento espalha.

Por isso, os ímpios não permanecerão firmes no juízo,

nem os pecadores na assembleia dos justos.

Porque o Senhor conhece o caminho dos justos,

mas o caminho dos ímpios perecerá.

A essência do Salmo 1

O Salmo 1 ensina que existem dois caminhos espirituais, morais e existenciais.

O primeiro é o caminho do justo: aquele que não se deixa governar pelos conselhos dos perversos, pela lógica dos pecadores ou pela zombaria dos arrogantes. 

Essa pessoa busca orientação em Deus, medita na Sua lei e cria raízes profundas. Por isso, é comparada a uma árvore junto às águas: firme, viva, frutífera e resistente.

O segundo é o caminho dos ímpios: pessoas sem raiz moral, sem temor a Deus, sem compromisso com a justiça. Elas podem parecer fortes por algum tempo, mas são como palha levada pelo vento: frágeis, instáveis e destinadas à dispersão.

A mensagem central é: quem se enraíza em Deus permanece; quem se entrega à iniquidade se desfaz.

O Salmo 1 não fala apenas de religião individual. 

Ele também serve como advertência pública:

 sociedades, governos, juízes, líderes e instituições que abandonam a justiça, zombam da verdade e seguem o caminho da impiedade perdem a raiz espiritual e moral que sustenta sua legitimidade. 

O resultado final é ruína, dispersão e juízo. 

Onde está o TEMOR a DEUS ?

Onde estão o HONRAR e AMAR a DEUS ? E o AMAR ao Próximo como a si mesmo ?

A América chafurda no sangue derramado dos inocentes, das crianças abortadas, das mulheres aviltadas, dos idosos interditados, torturados, despejados de suas moradias,  assassinados em "matadouros" falsamente nomeados "asilos de idosos" , "lares adotivos", 

A politica do NO MAN LEFT BEHIND torna-se uma farsa  - letra morta - diante da realidade das milhões de familias destruidas pela guerra, das  milhões de vitimas do narcotráfico,  dos milhares, quiçá milhões de veteranos de guerra,  dos enfermos cujos tratamentos médicos e medicamentos estão sendo negados, cortados, suprimidos, pelos que foram eleitos pelo povo, para governar para o povo, em benefício do povo e da Nação, mas que, corrompidos pelos vícios, pelo abandono dos princípios morais,  da ética, da honra, da ilusão do poder e da importância de sua própria personalidade, chafurdam na ilusão do poder "ilimitado" e da "impunidade".

A América do Norte de hoje parece que se esqueceu de que tem uma responsabilidade para com seu próprio povo, em primeiro lugar, antes de me meter com as outras nações, individualmente consideradas e em conjunto.

Um país onde a corrupção impera - descaradamente - , onde os  cidadãos são desumanizados e transformados em "números" - espoliação de todos os seus direitos, liberdades e patrimônio - segundo o "modelo nazista" - onde todos aqueles que tentam defender os direitos humanos das vitimas dos abusos e de violações de direitos constitucionais fundamentais, são atacados, ameaçados, agredidos, silenciados,punidos, excluídos, torturados e esquecidos, perdeu a sua identidade, a sua unidade, e tornou-se vítima fácil dos verdadeiros traidores da Constituição.

Seria ótimo SE, neste 4 de julho de 2026, o GOVERNO - OS TRÊS PODERES DA REPÚBLICA -  e o POVO SE LEMBRASSEM do SACRIFÍCIO dos seus ANTEPASSADOS, dos seus IDEAIS, dos princípios morais, éticos e das SUAS responsabilidades e CUMPRISSEM com os seus DEVERES, para com DEUS, para com o próximo, para com sua família, para com sua pátria, e para com as outras nações, para com o meio-ambiente e para com o legado que irão deixar para esta e para as futuras gerações.

De Deus não se zomba !

Quando a iniquidade transborda deste maneira, 

Quando o povo perde a confiança e o respeito pelas instituições, 

Quando os abusos e as violações de direitos humanos fundamentais ultrapassam todos os limites e a lei não é mais respeitada, quando todos os princípios morais, eticos, constitucionais, legais, jurídicos, são rotineiramente violados, inclusive pelos magistrados que deveriam minidtrar a JUSTIÇA, mas não o fazem, 

O resultado é catastrófico, e a História da Humanidade está aí, on line, para quem quiser ver !

Deixo para reflexão a palestra proferida ontem sobre a responsabilidade individual de cada um, perante as leis de Deus e a sua própria consciência  que está inscrita no espírito eterno e imortal de cada ser humano desde o momento de sua criação: 


A Lei da Reencarnação 


A REENCARNAÇÃO EXPIATÓRIA DE UM JUIZ ARROGANTE E INJUSTO

A Doutrina Espírita ensina que a reencarnação não é castigo eterno, nem vingança divina, mas mecanismo de justiça, expiação, reparação e aprendizado. Em O Livro dos Espíritos, Allan Kardec dedica o Capítulo IV da Parte Segunda à pluralidade das existências. Nas questões 166 a 170, os Espíritos Superiores esclarecem que a alma que não alcançou a perfeição durante a vida corpórea continua seu processo de depuração por meio de novas existências corporais. Na questão 167, a finalidade da reencarnação é resumida em duas expressões essenciais: expiação e melhoramento progressivo da humanidade. Sem isso, perguntam os Espíritos: onde estaria a justiça?

A questão 171 aprofunda esse fundamento. A justiça da reencarnação repousa na justiça de Deus e na revelação, porque um Pai bom não fecha para sempre a porta do arrependimento. A reencarnação, assim, não humilha o Espírito: reeduca-o. Não o destrói: devolve-lhe oportunidade. Não apaga sua responsabilidade: oferece-lhe o caminho da reparação.

É nesse contexto que se compreende a história atribuída a D. Mayse Braga, relatada no estudo espírita transcrito, sobre um menino de cinco anos recolhido pelo Educandário Nosso Lar. Segundo o relato, tratava-se de uma criança negra, pobre, abandonada nas ruas, de inteligência viva, temperamento difícil e personalidade marcante. Os dirigentes da casa, percebendo suas particularidades, teriam consultado espiritualmente Dr. Bezerra de Menezes, que explicou a gravidade da trajetória anterior daquele Espírito.

Na existência passada, segundo o relato, ele teria sido um jurista famoso no antigo Rio de Janeiro, homem admirado, poderoso e homenageado publicamente. No entanto, por trás do prestígio social, carregava um padrão íntimo de arrogância, preconceito e injustiça. Como juiz, teria usado a lei não como instrumento de proteção dos inocentes, mas como ferramenta de opressão. Seu critério moral era perverso: se a pessoa era negra, pobre, sozinha e sem defesa, então era culpada. Com sentenças injustas, teria conduzido muitos à prisão, ao desespero e até ao suicídio.

A gravidade espiritual desse relato está precisamente no mau uso do poder jurisdicional. O juiz conhecia a lei, dominava a técnica, possuía inteligência, status e autoridade. Mas, em vez de servir à justiça, teria servido ao próprio orgulho. Em vez de proteger os vulneráveis, teria esmagado aqueles que mais dependiam da imparcialidade judicial. Em vez de temer a Deus, teria se colocado no lugar de Deus.

Ao despertar na Pátria Espiritual, segundo a narrativa, esse Espírito teria visto cair o véu da ilusão. Já não era o magistrado homenageado, o jurista celebrado, o homem temido e admirado. Era apenas uma consciência diante de si mesma, confrontada com o sofrimento que provocara. Diante do Tribunal da Consciência, compreendeu que a justiça divina não se suborna, não se compra, não se engana e não se dobra diante de títulos humanos.

Por isso, depois de sofrimento e arrependimento, teria pedido a oportunidade de retornar à Terra em condição oposta àquela de que abusara. Reencarnou, então, como menino negro, pobre, abandonado, dependente da caridade alheia e da proteção de pessoas que poderiam acolhê-lo sem preconceito. Aquilo que antes ele desprezara nos outros — a pobreza, a solidão, a negritude, a vulnerabilidade e a ausência de defesa social — tornou-se o próprio campo pedagógico de sua nova existência.

Essa narrativa ilustra com força a justiça reencarnatória: o Espírito não é lançado ao sofrimento por crueldade divina, mas colocado diante das experiências necessárias para aprender aquilo que recusou compreender quando tinha poder. Quem desprezou o pobre pode renascer na pobreza. Quem humilhou o negro pode voltar sob a pele que discriminou. Quem oprimiu os indefesos pode retornar em condição de dependência. Quem falseou a justiça humana terá de reencontrar, cedo ou tarde, a justiça de Deus.

O relato também afirma que, ainda criança, aquele menino demonstrava simpatia, inteligência e afeto, mas também impulsos de desordem, conflito e transgressão. Quando havia confusão, ele estava envolvido. Se alguém fazia algo errado, ele justificava: “se ele fez, eu também tenho direito de fazer”. Mais tarde, ao cair de uma árvore, sofreu fraturas graves e passou a claudicar pelo resto da vida. Segundo a interpretação espiritual do relato, essa limitação física também integrava seu processo de humanização, disciplina íntima e aprendizado.

A lição é profunda. A reencarnação expiatória não apaga imediatamente as tendências do passado. Ninguém se transforma magicamente de uma vida para outra. O Espírito traz consigo marcas, inclinações, vícios, impulsos e necessidades de correção. Mas também traz possibilidades novas: acolhimento, educação, amor, disciplina, trabalho, convivência e reparação.

Por isso, esse caso dialoga diretamente com o tema da justiça humana. Magistrados, promotores, legisladores, advogados, autoridades públicas, banqueiros, médicos, guardians, fiduciários, diretores de asilos, administradores de sistemas de foster care, probate e família, todos aqueles que recebem poder sobre a vida alheia devem lembrar que nenhuma autoridade humana é absoluta. O poder é empréstimo. A toga é empréstimo. O cargo é empréstimo. A fortuna é empréstimo. A caneta que assina uma sentença é instrumento de responsabilidade espiritual.

Aquele que condena injustamente o pobre, o negro, a mulher, a criança, o idoso, o enfermo, o veterano, o vulnerável ou o abandonado não está apenas violando a lei humana. Está criando para si mesmo uma dívida moral diante da Justiça Divina. E a Justiça Divina, ao contrário da justiça corrompida dos homens, não arquiva a verdade, não manipula provas, não vende sentenças, não protege poderosos e não transforma vítimas em culpadas.

Léon Denis, em Depois da Morte, resume a marcha evolutiva do Espírito como uma sucessão de existências em que, pouco a pouco, desaparece o mal que ainda há em nós; as almas se fortalecem, depuram-se e avançam até os círculos superiores, onde irradiam beleza, sabedoria, poder e amor. Essa é a essência da reencarnação: não a punição sem esperança, mas a educação da alma pela experiência, pela responsabilidade e pelo amor.

A história do juiz arrogante e injusto, renascido como menino pobre, negro e abandonado, é uma advertência severa para todos os que hoje usam instituições, tribunais, bancos, hospitais, asilos, varas de família, sistemas de adoção, foster care, probate, guardianship e estruturas administrativas para oprimir os vulneráveis. Quem hoje se julga intocável talvez amanhã precise nascer exatamente no lugar daquele que desprezou.

De Deus não se zomba.

A lei humana pode ser fraudada.
A sentença humana pode ser vendida.
O processo humano pode ser manipulado.
A vítima humana pode ser silenciada.

Mas a Justiça Divina permanece.

E cada Espírito, cedo ou tarde, responderá não apenas pelo mal que fez, mas também pelo mal decorrente do bem que deixou de fazer, quando tinha o dever, o poder, o conhecimento, o cargo, a autoridade e a oportunidade de proteger os vulneráveis, os injustiçados e os inocente.


Nesse 4 de Julho de 2026, desejamos, sinceramente, que o ESPÍRITO SANTO DE DEUS ilumine a cada um, e a todos, norte-americanos, ou não, porque, querendo ou não, acreditando ou não, EXISTE um DEUS TODO PODEROSO,  insubornável, incorruptível, imutável, cujas leis naturais e eternas são inegociáveis, que dará a cada um segundo as suas obras, se não nesta, nas próximas reencarnações, onde cada um irá responder não apenas pelo mal que fez, mas por todo o mal que resultou da sua omissão diante do bem que deveria fazer.

Paz a Luz !

Isto é verdade.

Richard Luthmann,

4 de julho · Isto é sério.

A mensagem "Saudação à América" ​​do Secretário de Estado Marco Rubio é uma declaração contundente em apoio aos 250 anos da América: a Revolução não foi um acidente, uma birra ou uma disputa tributária. Foi um ato de coragem que representou a civilização. 

Os Fundadores eram homens prósperos com tudo a perder, mas mesmo assim arriscaram suas vidas, fortunas e honra sagrada contra o império mais poderoso da Terra. 

O exército congelante de Washington, Trenton, Princeton, Valley Forge e a longa jornada rumo à vitória provaram algo permanente sobre a alma americana. Este país foi construído por pessoas que fizeram o impossível porque a liberdade, a fé e o destino assim o exigiam.


Uma saudação à América
Departamento de Estado
4 de julho 

Autor: EUA Secretário de Estado Marco Rubio


Há duzentos e cinquenta anos, em um salão de tijolos na Filadélfia, nossos antepassados ​​declararam sua independência do império mais poderoso da Terra.


Eles não eram tolos. Sabiam exatamente o que as palavras naquele pergaminho significavam. Sabiam que, naquele momento, estavam se condenando por traição aos olhos de sua pátria – e que a pena para traição era a morte.


Assim, no final daquele documento, abaixo das palavras inspiradoras sobre verdades autoevidentes e os direitos do homem, escreveram uma frase final: “Com firme confiança na proteção da Divina Providência, comprometemo-nos mutuamente uns aos outros com nossas Vidas, nossas Fortunas e nossa sagrada Honra.


Suas vidas, suas fortunas e sua honra – tudo o que tinham e tudo o que eram. Tudo estava em jogo.


Pense no tipo de homens de que estamos falando. É fácil esquecer: não se tratava de indigentes pobres e desamparados, sem nada a perder. Eram alguns dos homens mais bem-sucedidos e prósperos de sua época. Advogados, comerciantes, latifundiários e fazendeiros ricos – homens com famílias, fazendas e fortunas.


O bom senso indicaria que eles seriam os últimos a liderar uma revolução – muito menos a arriscar tudo, inclusive suas vidas, para fazê-lo.


Mas eles fizeram isso mesmo assim.


E eles conseguiram isso contra todas as probabilidades.


De um lado estava o Império Britânico – a potência mais formidável que o mundo já vira. Do outro, um conjunto disperso de colônias nos confins do mundo conhecido, com uma pequena economia agrícola e uma força heterogênea de fazendeiros e milicianos mal treinados – o que um general britânico da época chamou, com desdém, de “um desfile ridículo” e “uma ralé armada”.


Em 1776, pouquíssimas pessoas acreditavam que esses rebeldes americanos tivessem alguma chance de vencer. 

Do outro lado do Atlântico, as elites da Grã-Bretanha os descartavam como um mero incômodo, nada mais. 

O ministro da Marinha Real declarou que “o simples som de um canhão os faria fugir... tão rápido quanto seus pés pudessem levá-los”

O general James Grant – ex-governador real da Flórida Oriental – gabou-se perante a Câmara dos Comuns de que conhecia muito bem os americanos e que “eles jamais ousariam enfrentar um exército inglês”. 

O próprio rei George previu que “assim que esses rebeldes sentirem um golpe duro, eles se renderão”.


Os primeiros meses da guerra pareceram confirmar essa previsão. O exército de George Washington era valente, mas faminto, despreparado e mal abastecido. Eles haviam deixado suas fazendas, lojas e assentamentos na fronteira para lutar por seu país – apenas para sofrer uma derrota após a outra, devastadora.


Em dezembro de 1776, a Revolução estava à beira do colapso. O Exército Continental havia sido expulso de Nova York, atravessado Nova Jersey e chegado à Pensilvânia – derrotado e sofrendo com o frio do inverno rigoroso do nordeste. 

O próprio exército estava diminuindo rapidamente de tamanho. Naquele mês, George Washington escreveu ao seu irmão: "Acho que o jogo está praticamente perdido". 

A menos que algo mudasse, a causa da independência morreria, a rebelião seria esmagada e os homens que arriscaram tudo para liderá-la seriam enforcados como traidores da Coroa.


Mas eles não se renderam. Não é isso que os americanos fazem.


Na noite de Natal, Washington reuniu o que restava de seu exército e cruzou o rio Delaware, congelado, sob a proteção da escuridão. Seus homens marcharam pela noite com sapatos quebrados e trapos enrolados nos pés, deixando sangue na neve. Em Trenton, atacaram. Alguns dias depois, em Princeton, atacaram novamente.


Duas vitórias retumbantes – e a aura de inevitável vitória britânica começou a ruir.


Ainda assim, um milagre não foi suficiente para levar os patriotas à vitória. A guerra se arrastou. No ano seguinte, os britânicos capturaram Filadélfia e o Congresso Continental foi forçado a fugir. O exército de Washington cambaleou até seus quartéis de inverno em Valley Forge – famintos, congelando e mal vestidos, dormindo em cabanas que haviam construído com as próprias mãos. 

Ali, naquele inverno brutal, algo extraordinário aconteceu. O Exército Continental não entrou em colapso. Transformou-se em uma força de combate disciplinada, endurecida e profissional: treinados por oficiais prussianos, unidos pelo sacrifício comum, os americanos emergiram – contra todas as probabilidades – como um exército capaz de derrubar um império, impulsionado por uma crença inabalável no país que estavam ajudando a construir.


Todo americano sabe o que aconteceu em seguida.


Desde o princípio, os americanos têm feito o impossível. É quem somos. Está no sangue do nosso povo.


É a característica mais profunda e fundamental da alma americana, que remonta a muito antes da Revolução. 

Vimos isso nos fortes de madeira de Jamestown, nas primeiras colônias de Plymouth, nos conveses da Niña, da Pinta e da Santa Maria, transportando Cristóvão Colombo através do Atlântico até as costas de um novo mundo. 

É um espírito que despreza as limitações, que anseia por novas fronteiras; uma ambição ilimitada de fazer o que outros não conseguem, de ir aonde outros não querem ir, de se aventurar na escuridão e descobrir o que se encontra além do horizonte.


A América não representou uma ruptura total com o passado, mas sim o culminar de uma história ancestral que começou há milênios. 

Devemos muito de nós mesmos ao próprio país com o qual nossos Fundadores guerrearam há 250 anos: como disse o Presidente Trump no início deste ano, “esta terra foi colonizada e forjada por homens cujas veias corriam com a coragem anglo-saxônica”; cuja língua, cultura e feroz amor pela liberdade eram uma “herança majestosa” de seus ancestrais além-mar. 

Nosso destino foi moldado, ao longo dos séculos, nos reinos e impérios da Europa, antes de irromper neste continente para construir um novo mundo à sua imagem. 

Suas sementes foram plantadas pelos filósofos de Atenas, pela majestade imperial de Roma, pelos monges e reis da cristandade medieval – séculos de exploração europeia, ciência, fé e ambição incansável, finalmente libertadas de todas as restrições na fronteira americana sem limites.


A América era o destino de toda uma civilização. Foi aqui, em nosso país, que milhares de anos de história se concretizaram e pintaram a plenitude de sua promessa na tela em branco de um novo mundo.


E veja só o que isso causou.


Em apenas dois séculos e meio – um piscar de olhos, na perspectiva da história – os americanos ultrapassaram todos os precedentes que nos precederam. De microchips e átomos a ferrovias e foguetes, em todas as novas fronteiras e planos do progresso humano, não apenas transformamos uma terra selvagem e inexplorada na nação mais poderosa da Terra; conduzimos toda a humanidade a uma nova era da história.


Não fizemos essas coisas por obrigação. Fizemos porque podíamos. Porque ninguém jamais as tinha feito antes. Porque os americanos sempre foram pioneiros – os filhos e filhas da fronteira. Não há lugar aonde não possamos ir. Não há nada que não possamos fazer.


E para nós, a fronteira nunca se fechou. Quando ficamos sem terra na extremidade oeste deste continente, começamos a construir para cima – aviões e arranha-céus que perfuravam o horizonte. Quando ficamos sem céu, fomos ainda mais longe, construindo máquinas que poderiam nos levar à Lua.


Agora, estamos no alvorecer de uma nova era, repleta de novas fronteiras e possibilidades que nossos antepassados ​​mal poderiam ter sonhado. E assim como fizemos em todos os capítulos anteriores, os americanos liderarão também este.


Nós, americanos, somos o povo criador: o espírito da história mundial está aqui, nesta terra, em nossas mãos.


Esta é a nossa essência. Por 250 anos, esta tem sido uma terra de milagres, onde homens extraordinários realizaram feitos extraordinários. Esta noite, reafirmamos nosso compromisso com o nosso país e com o dever sagrado de garantir que o futuro da América seja tão glorioso quanto o seu passado.
