“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.”

Multiple times here I've written what "liberty" is, the principles thereof, and the laws of nature and of nature's God that define it. That general knowledge (or even a minimal cognitive understanding) of "liberty" is no longer among the helots, serfs, slaves and otherwise sheeple patrons of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land. In the de jure States - united sovereigns, with their indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, and Divine rights were to select and otherwise hire servants with a moral character for administrative purposes, - not to choose or vote for rulers.

Ultimately, life and freedom reside in right discernment, that which is underlied by true understanding.

Knowledge, uninformed by understanding, is insufficient, in itself.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

It is the basic reason for the condition of our country. Our citizen don't know, care or under stand their responsibility and opportunity.

Do not expect "that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge" to be offered willingly or discovered without effort. 'Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...' will ever be their warning.

You mean watch our ruler 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You mean watching his every breath through every decade, keeping close tabs in successive generations.  I feel the poor fellow is going to earn a considerably amount of well earned  expletives and deservingly so. God-damn right.
