constitutional (15)

In today’s hearing, the Democrats' shameless effort to deliberately and wholly distract attention from Hillary’s felonious behavior with respect to emailgate and AG Lynch’s consistently stonewalling relevant emailgate queries were on full display. It was sickening..

The primary purpose of the Republican committee members’ questions to the AG was to determine whether or not there is a difference between “extreme carelessness” and “gross negligence”, and whether or not “intent” is necessary to prove that US Code Section 793 was violated.  Asked again and again what the legal distinction was, AG Lynch routinely deferred to Comey and her “team “ of career Justice Department attorneys. After all, she’s only the Attorney General. Why would she be expected to answer such a legal question?

Committee Democrats' deflecting attention from Hillary’s “extreme carelessness” by pretentiously asserting their caring about “more important” issues like the death of black victims in Louisiana and Minnesota as well as the assassination of five Dallas police officers was their painfully self-serving way of dodging the burning issue of Hillary's lawlessness and electability--the Rule of Law obviously of considerably less concern to them.

Once again, the ideological lines have been drawn, and there is zero interest on the part of the Democrats to uphold their oath of office and to honestly, objectively address Hillary’s lawlessness. 

Who suffers by this charade and gross irresponsibility: nothing less than the Rule of Law and the Constitution of the United States.  And without either, there can be no equal justice under the law, no Liberty, no republic, and, most certainly, no chance for restoring public trust in government.  

In short, we, once citizens of America but now subjects of Leviathan, have again been duped, dismissed and utterly ignored.  

Get this through your heads: this is no longer a constitutional republic; this is now very clearly a country where the rule of Man, not of Law, is preeminent.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America—clearly NOT the country for which  I and my veteran friends fought and died, and certainly not the country for which those thousands of patriots who preceded us were maimed and died in her defense.

We must now look to our Founders for solace, yes, but also for their wise counsel and remedies. Those Founder-sanctioned and inherently rightful remedies are Civil Disobedience to express our unwillingness to submit to intolerable acts of government, State Nullification of unconstitutional federal acts in order to restore the State-Federal balance of power, Secession to defend constitutional order on at least the State level, or Rebellion in the face of tyranny. 

The choice before us couldn't be more stark: to restore our constitutional republic--while we are still able to do so--or to accept submission to Leviathan.

What will YOU choose?

"If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify." Alexander Hamilton

WE NEED A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!

I have been conducting research on our U.S. Constitution, along with the supporting Constitutions of the 50 States of the Union.  

What I have discovered so far, is that a Constitutional Convention might be called for, along with a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the Elections of 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, and of course, the 9/11 Coup Conspiracy, including the attacks on New York City and the Pentagon, which could have been orchestrated by the CIA.

The Special Prosecutor and subsequent Congressional Reports and Investigation could clear-up a lot of the mysterious allegations of wrong-doing by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and others, including Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama.

And, the proposed Constitutional Convention could allow us to fix what's wrong with our government.  Direct Democracy is an exciting new idea, that could modernize our government, and return the power to the people, by modernizing our democratic republic.  And, 27 of the states already have it.  If the federal government had it, we would have been able to Recall both Bush and Obama, when they became insensitive to the needs and will of the people of the United States.  

One of the best parts of this idea is that there are several dynamic new subject areas for newly proposed Constitutional Amendments, including: Election Reform, Judicial and Prison Reform, Land Reform, BLM Reform, Marijuana Reform, Budget Reform, Tax Reform, Medical Reform, establishing Women's Rights to Safe Housing and increasing the powers of the Civil Rights Movement, which would include establishing protections from overly zealous police and government agents, and establishing additional protections against racism, while empowering the existing Civil Rights Act, to enable a new, higher level of government interaction with its citizens.  Currently, the Civil Rights Act is almost useless, because the rich and unethical have created too many loopholes within the law created by Congress in the 1960s.  And, this is also true of our entire legal system, where both the individual states and the federal government have thousands of obsolete and conflicting laws which need to be reviewed, updated, and innovated with creative new ideas, in order to modernize our existing legal system.

For this reason, I would like your feedback.

Who would be interested in petitioning the 50 States of the Union, for a Constitutional Convention, that could be combined to operate concurrently with a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the mysterious allegations surrounding the George W. Bush Administration, including the elections of 2000, and 2004, and a possible Coup by the CIA, along with Bush and Cheney, which could explain what happened following 9/11/2001?

Therefore, there are two types of responses to this Blog.  One, the Constitutional Convention and its subject ares for future Constitutional  Amendments, and Two, the request for a Special Prosecutor and a Full Congressional Investigation into the possible illegal involvement of the CIA into the elections of 2000 and 2004, along with the allegations of hoax, as far as the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.

Could this help the citizens of the United States solve our problems with corruption and illegal activities by high-level government officials?

The Shredding of the United States Constitution by the Office of the President and the NSA

        Since the 1950’s and the end of the cold war, the United States has had listening posts that trapped and recorded phone conversations of people and governments around the world. My brother worked at a facility outside of Miami, Florida on an island doing just that for RCA under a military contract in the 1980’s.

          He once told me that they intercepted every phone call made in the Western Hemisphere north of a certain geographic location. He also said that he believed that this violated the United States Constitution. After many phone conversations, I convinced him to follow his conscience and find another job. He took my advice.

          The listening post still collects internet and phone traffic from the Western Hemisphere.

           In direct violation of the Fourth Amendment of the United States, the president has continued to wage an imaginary war against Al Qeda which is a creation of the CIA.

           Having viewed over 180 videos of 9/11 and read hundreds of pages of data, some of which were highly classified, I have constructed the following scenario of events that I believe are very accurate.

           Wanting to take control of the Iraqi oil fields and to carve them up under various contracts, George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and members of a secret NSA staff organization developed a plan to stage an invasion of the United States and blame that staged invasion on a rogue element of a Muslim CIA operation that had assisted them in fighting in Afghanistan.

           Enter Al Qeda as the figmented and imaginary terrorist organization. Osama Bin Laden was a CIA operative and was funded by the NSA until he became a liability and threatened to expose 9/11 and its inside actors.

           Claiming that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)’s was easy. It was well known that Russia, China, and Iran had been supplying Iraq with weapons, including chemical weapons for years. Iraq never had nuclear weapons with the exception of those sold to it by these countries.

           The connection between Iraq and the imaginary “Al Qeda” needed to be made to implement stage two of Cheney and Bush’s plan to invade Iraq and carve up the oil fields.

            The WMD’s however were never found as three weeks before the invasion of Iraq, the WMD’s were moved by truck into Russia where they still sit. How do I know this? I have over the years had long conversations with many high level personnel, and have done due diligence research.

             The coverup began when the discovery was made that there was no connection between Iraq and the imaginary Al Qeda. The “invasion” of the World Trade Center was an inside job and Thomas Hayden authorized it. He is still covering it up today.

            Now, we have an imaginary enemy which might strike us from anywhere, the question must be asked (if you don’t know that the enemy is imaginary) “How do we defend ourselves?” How do we protect ourselves from being found out as traitors to the United States of America that started an illegal war, that killed thousands of our own citizens, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens, and instituted an illegal, unconstitutional program of surveillance of every person on the entire planet?” “How do we get away with this?”

           Dick Cheney and Addington, his attorney drafted a document that  improperly applied the president’s war powers, in a war that he himself and Dick Cheney and the NSA had begun against the imaginary Al Qeda, giving the president unlimited power to violate the First and Fourth Amendmen rights of every citizen of the United States of America.

           We know that the attack on the Pentagon was a US Navy missile. We know that similar US Navy missiles hit both towers of the World Trade Center. The video evidence of these facts exists despite the attempts and efforts of the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA to seize them.

          We know that George Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney had Gen. Hayden lie to numerous people and illegally conduct illegal wiretaps without warrants of millions of United States citizens for the past (14) fourteen years.

          We know that there were numerous attempts to stop the illegal acts by many people in the NSA, but do the the greed of power, Hayden, Cheney, the Council on Foreign Relations and others needed this information to continue to provide a smokescreen for their illegal acts of the past and of the present.

          We know that the illegal seizure/collection of internet traffic and telephone calls continues even today. As an international consultant, every time I post on one of my many blogs, I immediately begin to receive a Denial of Service targeted at my computer and internet service.

         My email accounts have been hacked by the NSA a, the Secret Service, and the CIA. In fact, the NSA and its divisions read everything that I write and post. I could post a list of my laundry and a things to do list and it would be read and reposted throughout the NSA servers.

        When I challenged Obama’s fake birth certificate (he really was born in Africa, not the United States), I received several rude emails from White House staff, US Secret Service, and NSA personnel who said that they had indeed seen the forged and fake birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama aka “Barry”. I know a fake document when I see one, and Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate that was presented was indeed a fake.

        The fake birth certificate just proved that Obama was just as big of a liar as George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and Thomas Hayden was.  Their acts of TREASON against the people of the United States will go down in history as the greatest invasion and attempted destruction of the United States Constitution in all of time immortal.

         So, the Patriot Act was introduced and downsized somewhat. Then came the unconstitutional FISA re-authorization which permits the collection and assembling of “meta-data” of every conversation that any person in the world has, in the interest of fighting imaginary terrorists.

         In the wake of the illegal activities by the NSA, many other countries, including England has begun collecting internet and telephone conversations as well.

         As an international consultant to the UN, the UN Economic Council, the IMF, the European Union, the European Union Human Rights Council, and thirty-four plus governments,  on human rights, economy issues, environmental, financial, and constitutional issues, I am abhorred at the outright abuse of the NSA, the CIA, JSOC, the UN Peacekeepers, and other terrorist organizations that are supposed to be defending the rights, freedoms, and liberties of citizens around the world.

         Instead of being a governments of the people, by the people, and for the people, the world’s governments have become governments that have set aside the basic human rights and natural rights of every citizen of the world in the vague attempt to protect us from ourselves and imaginary enemies.

          In February of last 2012, I wrote a New Constitution of the United States and a Proposed Constitution of the United European Union. the latter was banned in Germany on You Tube.

           If you want your world back, if you want your rights, liberties, and freedoms back, these documents give them back to you and take them away from corporations and spy agencies around the world.

           I will post them every opportunity that I can get in the attempt to thwart the illegal taking of our rights of free speech and other natural rights given to us by God Almighty.

The Proposed Constitution of the United States and the Proposed Constitution of the United European Union are also at winklepublishing.blogspot.com, realmoneyfrompocketchange.blogspot.com, and on both of my Tumblr blogs.

Here is the United States version, below it is the European Union version: take them, and implement them. Make them into law to protect yourself and your citizens from tyranny.

I ASK EACH ONE OF YOU TO DEMAND A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION THIS YEAR to adopt

The New Constitution of the United States of America
(Proposed Amended Version)
We, the citizens of the United States of America, assemble ourselves to create a new democracy, a true democracy that protects the individual rights of every citizen of the nation. In this time of mankind, that we find ourselves in, we see that it is more profitable to our spirits and to those of our neighbors, to work hand in hand with one another, for the benefit of all creation.

Furthermore, no citizen shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without indictment by a Grand Jury of their peers including members of the armed forces. All members of the armed forces shall be subject to a criminal trial of local jurisprudence if the crime was not committed on government property. No person shall be tried for the same offense, or be forced to provide oral or written evidence against themselves by any means including writing samples or be deprived of their liberty, life, or any kind of property without due process of the laws of this nation. No property may be taken by the state by any means without double compensation of the “fair price of that property.” No proceeding for eminent domain shall be held without the presence of a jury of the peers of the property holder who will be the sole judges of the value of the property.

In lawsuits involving amounts in excess of $1,000 US Dollars, the right to a trial by jury shall be preserved. Every fact tried by a jury may be appealed to a higher court if any of the rights mentioned in this document have been abused by the court.
Said higher court must then retry the case as an original case before the court if prejudice or a violation of the aforementioned rights is found to have taken place.

The judicial powers of the United States of America shall not obstruct any citizen from commencing litigation against any state or citizen of any state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign country.

There shall be no involuntary servitude, even for criminals, as our nation’s moral laws are held to a higher standard, that every person shall be free from tyranny, and excessive punishment by the courts. The punishment issued by the court shall fit the crime. Leniency of the sentence or fine shall not be predetermined by the prosecutor in any prior arrangement with the judicial authority of the court.
All Federal Laws, Federal Court Rulings, and Executive Orders enacted from July 4, 1996 forward shall be null and void upon the ratification of this document and shall not be reinstated without a majority vote of the citizens of the United States of America. The ratification of this document serves to  give back to the citizens of these United States of America their rights, liberties, and freedoms that have been stolen from them by previous actions of various bodies of the government.
No state shall make or enforce any law which would interfere with any of the rights provided to the citizens by this document, or deny any person the right of equal protection under the laws and rights afforded by this document.

The required resignation shall not be stayed by an appeal to any court in the nation, excepting the Supreme Court, who shall issue a finding within ten days of the appeal. Said appeal will not extend the thirty day requirement for resignation if a finding of guilt is upheld by the court. The President and the Vice President may be removed from office by a majority recall vote of the citizens of the nation or by a majority vote of the legislature whichever is most expedient. Said removal from office will occur thirty days from the date of the recall vote by the citizens of the nation or of the legislature.
The President may not declare war on any nation or its citizens without the approval of Congress, for such is an impeachable offense of treason which unduly causes harm to the nation and places the nation in the precarious possibility of being retaliated against.
The president and Vice- president shall both take an oath of office that they will execute their respective offices to the best of their ability, and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
The office of President and Vice President shall be filled by separate ballots to avoid corruption of the office of the presidency.
If the president dies in term, he shall be replaced by the Vice President, who shall be replaced by the president of the Congress.

If the vice president dies in office, the president of the Congress shall fulfill their term of office.

The president shall have authority, by and with the advice and consent of the Congress, to make treaties, provided a majority of the representatives present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Congress, shall appoint ambassadors, other ministers and consuls judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States of America, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. Said appointments and treaties shall require a majority vote of the Congress. The president shall have no right to executive powers to make laws. The president shall not have the right to declare war upon any nation without an act of congress, for such declaration is a high crime against the citizens of the nation and would require the immediate forfeiture of the office of the presidency. In the event of impeachment of the president of the vice-president the person being impeached may not be granted a pardon if the impeached person has committed a criminal act for which they are being impeached. In these matters, the nation must have justice rendered in its fullness.
Article V. Judicial Branch.
There shall be a system of courts wherein The Supreme Court may decide issues of constitutional matters and appeals from lower courts. The courts are not afforded the right to create or make law by their decisions as such is the exclusive right of the Representatives of the people of the nation. Each justice of the Supreme Court and any Federal Court of Appeals or of any United States of America District shall have a set term of twelve years in totality during their lifetime in order to prevent corruption of the bench.
The Courts of Appeals and District Courts may also hear constitutional cases, appeals from other courts, and original cases involving rights, liberties, and property. Each justice and Federal court judge and magistrate will resign their respective office thirty days after a finding of guilt of a felony offense in any court. The required resignation shall not be stayed by an appeal to any court in the nation, excepting the Supreme Court, who shall issue a finding within ten days of the appeal. Said appeal will not extend the thirty day requirement for resignation if a finding of guilt is upheld by the court.
The judicial authority shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States of America, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;—to all cases affecting ambassadors and representatives of other nations, to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to any controversy to which the United States of America shall be a party; to controversies between two or more states; between a state and citizens of another state, between citizens of different states, between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, or citizens.
The judicial authority of the United States of America shall be granted to one Supreme Court, as well as regional federal courts and state located throughout the nation as Congress shall require. The number of said courts shall be based on the increase or decrease in a region’s population, but shall not be less than one regional federal court in every state. The judges shall be compensated during the tenure of impartial adjudication of cases.
In all cases affecting ambassadors from other countries, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
No member of any legislative body, administrative office, cabinet office, or judicial office may accept gifts, contributions, or amenities of any kind from any legal person or their representatives by any means, whether directly or indirectly. The acceptance of said payment shall subject said person to an immediate recall election by the populous of their respective citizens who voted them into office. Such is necessary to prevent the corruption of these high offices which are privileges granted to them by their fellow citizens. No government official or their employees shall be excluded from any of these rights and liberties or from any part of the enforcement of the rights or from any laws of the nation may be passed in the future. Representatives of Congress, and every member of the state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States of America and of the states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution of the United States of America.

All debts contracted by any states of the United States of America, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States of America as consolidated debts of the nation and shall be assumed by the United States of America The public debt must be paid in a timely manner to afford for the “Economic Stability of the nation.” No member state shall have a deficit in excess of their respective income to their state in excess of one year.

The Tea Party-Real Hope for America!

Greetings Neighbors,

I have so much to say in this day, so I’ll just cut to the chase and lay it right out there, for you. I am a Bible Believing, Born Again, Evangelical, Christian and a Conservative, Constitutional and TEA Party, supporting, American. Whew!  For those of you whom are still with me, please, continue reading.

I'm writing, out of love, to and for my fellow countrymen and brothers and sisters, in Christ. I bring to you my deep concern, for which I hope you will receive with respectful consideration. This is one man’s plea, for awareness of what I have to share, as a possible and even plausible summary of our state of communal affairs. For the sake of our future freedom, as we've known it to be, I make my case. I believe that it has been in more serious jeopardy, since the turn of this century, than prior to that milestone and is increasing in intensity, with each passing day.

American soldiers, of old and many of the latter days, whom have given their lives and those who serve, have served and still enjoy the freedom that they helped to preserve, wouldn't stand for what we are experiencing, today. Arguably, it is an expedient erosion of our constitutional rights. The intruders clothe themselves with the fabric of evolutionary, nonsensical, political correctness and wear boots that march to the beat of a deceptive, utopian, drum that pounds out the agenda of the liberal mindset. Whether it’s metastasizing, like the societal cancer that it is, intentionally, or circumstantially, which is another topic for discussion, it doesn't negate the reality of the damage that it’s producing. Capitalism, exchanged for a proven failure known as "Socialism," seems to have a growing tendency toward the condolence of such, in our communities. Socialism, a term I use to describe it, because of the “If it walks and talks like a duck,” analogy that many of us use as a gauge for authenticity, is now being packaged and sold as “progressive-ism, liberalism, hope and change-ism,” or what ever “ism” you choose to tag it with. Regardless of the names that are used, for referring to this type of governing system, their campaign platforms, though re-branded, are nearly identical.

To those of you, who know me, I'm confident that you also know, that my actions do not, and my character does not, even slightly, reflect the liberal media's portrayal of TEA Party members. If you think that I'm mistaken, then I encourage you to pick your fruit from another tree and examine it carefully, before ingesting it. I attended the first TEA Party gathering, in the immediate area, where I reside. It looked and felt like I was at a family fair, on a sunny, Sunday, afternoon. I proudly witnessed a parade of average, respectful and concerned, citizens, displaying their love for our country and it's flag, in a legal and respectably cordial manor.

Taxed Enough Already (TEA) a grass roots movement, is a party that has, no kinship to the media's unjustifiable and viciously, slanderous, portrayal of them. That depiction of us, as practicing extreme radicalism, bigotry, hatred, racism and intolerance, is all offensive and outrageous, to me. It is a lie that stems from the pit of hell. Of course, there will always be exceptions in any organization, but those are rare to nonexistent occurrences, within the TEA Party, according to my knowledge and experiences, associated with them. I should have made a video recording of the peaceful, respectful and sincere behavior that I witnessed, at that first demonstration. I was unaware of the, soon to come, villainous accusations. Extreme-ism seems to be a very relative term, to some, but to me, it accurately describes the political left wing's agenda.

If you know me, you know that I am, also, an average American, trying to make an honest living and to preserve the integrity of the moral codes that have been established in our communities, through history. One nation, under God. I believe that's the key to our historical, world, super power, status and success. I've grown very fond of America’s founding principals. If only we would return to them, with the intended spirit intact, then the King of kings will heal our land and we will flourish, once again.  

The TEA Party is our brave, political, watchdog, soldiers and leaders, but have been and continue to be the victims of extreme, slanderous, assaults by the liberal media and by an elite establishment. I've read reports that claim the “establishment” controls all major media networks and the decisions made concerning the governing policies, in the USA and abroad. With the big media bosses, in the administration’s back pocket, I am very proud of the Tea Party’s dedication, in their uphill battle, to halt further abuses and try to reverse course. I thank the Lord for them. They are hero's and they are the only group willing to stand up against our deeply corrupted government. At this time, second to God, the Tea Party is our greatest hope to fight against Washington's bullies and their madness. These politicians, are either drunk on the fruit of their power, or extremely intimidated by the drunkards. It's probably both. It's time for rehabilitation, after we fire the whole rotten lot of them. Just to be clear, I'm suggesting it for both parties, Republican and Democratic, alike. Start with a clean slate. I want organizations and politicians to start representing the agenda of the people that support their mission as described by the people, with integrity and stop making your supporters look bad, by misrepresenting what the majority of us want for our country. There are a lot of peaceful people on both sides, I know it from experience. It just seems like they all reside apart from the politicians and many organizations. 

Folks, I don't believe we need to change to another system, especially one that has had a poor track record. On the contrary, we need only to honor the one that we have, without the mass corruption that we've endured for decades.

Corruption will ruin the best of societies, as is being witnessed by many Americans, in their own backyards. Most of their accounts go unreported by the, left-wing biased, news networks. I hope that we will all make a concerted effort to investigate other sources, for news, particularly when very important issues surface. Especially, when pertaining to methods that we choose to govern ourselves with, now and for future generations. To accomplish this, we must repent of the direction to where this nation is being relentlessly pulled and that direction is toward total Godlessness. The sign at the end of their journey, reads “WARNING! One Way -Entering Eternal Desolation- The Village of Proud Fools - REPENT, or REGRET!”

Constitutional Law - It is overrated

The purpose of this article is to encourage the discussion of an alternative perspective regarding the true intent and underlying framework of the U.S. Constitution and the resulting correct and proper interpretative process thereof.  In order to protect all relevant parties the correct perspective that should be utilized when attempting to properly interpret the U.S. Constitution is to consider Constitutional Law as merely a body of knowledge that is a special and unique subset of Contract Law. 

Our position is that the U.S. Constitution is actually a tri-lateral contract between the various branches, departments, agencies and officials of the Federal government, the group of 50 states and various territories, and the totality of all U.S. citizens and legal residents.  All three of these groups of aggregated parties have mutually negotiated, either directly or indirectly through their representatives, the original provisions, together with multiple added or amended provisions, while citizens and resident aliens have simultaneously, temporarily and partially surrendered or subordinated a portion of their individual inalienable and common law rights based solely upon their mutual and collective reliance upon the negotiated protections contractually agreed upon, promised, and therefore guaranteed, by their respective State governments, and subsequently the Federal government. 

Because many of the rights of the citizens and legal residents are inalienable rights, and the rights of the Federal government and the various States are not inalienable, but merely delegated, there must be a hierarchical interpretive process that maintains the superiority of the inalienable rights of the citizens and legal residents above the delegated rights of the various States and the Federal government.  In addition, because the rights of the citizens were first partially delegated and partially subordinated to the rights of the States, and then subsequently to the Federal government, the rights of the States are, by rule of law, contract, common law, natural law, and common decency, superior to the rights of the Federal government. 

When any parties agree to the existence, or establish the existence, of any right or set of rights in any contractual relationship they must always recognize that an appropriate set of naturally corresponding responsibilities also mandatorily coexists.  If during the life of the contract there ever appears to be an actual or alleged imbalance between these negotiated, common law, and/or inalienable rights, then there exists the possibility that this imbalance presumptively demonstrates that one party to this special and unique contract is presumably in material breach of the contract through a potentially illegal and/or abusive set of actions, and in order for the contract to remain valid there must exist a set of remedies that will allow the aggrieved party, or parties, to be made whole and restored to an appropriate position and experiential level of inalienable rights. 

A set of imbalances can be created by one party in an attempt to impose their will upon the other parties to an agreement.  It appears that, during the last 100 years, that the Federal government has gradually, and is currently at an exponential rate, successfully and unilaterally amending the terms of this special and unique contract and has reduced, modified, and/or stolen significant inalienable rights from citizens and legal residents in their attempt to increasingly gain an imbalanced level of superior rights and powers while reducing the inalienable rights of the citizens and legal residents and promoting mere privileges to the level of alienable rights to persons who are unconcerned with the rule of law and therefore will, unwittingly, assist the Federal government in their pursuit of additional power. 

All three branches of the Federal government are guilty of this attempted, and significantly successful, power grab of rights without a corresponding set of increased responsibilities, including the failure to insure the protection of the inalienable rights of the citizens and legal residents. 

The Supreme Court has done so by misinterpreting the true intent and underlying framework of the U.S. Constitution and the resulting correct and proper interpretative process.  As a result their opinions have misaligned the natural political order and the original constitutionally created balance of legitimate rights and responsibilities and have therefore, whether intentionally or unintentionally, assisted and enabled the Legislative and Executive Branches in their own attempts to further unilaterally modify the tri-lateral contract by further shifting man created rights to the Federal Executive Branch while unilaterally, illegally and deceitfully modifying and reducing inalienable rights. 

Many citizens of the various states inherently understand that something is not right with the Federal government and the manner that it is operating while others are now beginning to understand exactly what constitutional principles are being violated by the various branches.  In order for the contractually agreed upon U.S. Constitution to continue to be a valid agreement between the parties it must be interpreted in a manner that allows all parties to have the necessary level and types of remedies that correspond to their specific level of rights inherent in this special and unique contract.  Below is listed a summary of certain contract law principles that should be the basis for interpreting the U.S. Constitution and protecting the rights of the citizens and legal residents. 

Fiduciary Duty - Because States have partially delegated various rights of their citizens and legal residents to the Federal government they therefore have the fiduciary duty to protect these persons and proactively insure that the Federal government is not allowed to operate in a manner that unilaterally breaches the tri-lateral contract through the usurpation or eliminate of the various inherent rights of their citizens. 

Adhesion Contract  - Whenever a Federal law or regulation can not be interpreted in a manner that protects the inalienable, natural, or common law rights of a citizen or legal resident of the various states or territories in a manner that maintains their rights at a level that is superior to the inferior rights of a Federal or State government then that law or regulation is invalid and void.  Otherwise the U.S. Constitution is invalidated and voidable. 

Material mistake of fact - Whenever the basis of a law or regulation is based upon an alleged fact that is incorrect, or later is proven or becomes untrue, then that adopted law or regulation is void, not merely voidable, and the Supreme Court, and all inferior courts, are without the authority to refrain from holding that said law or regulation is void. 

Fraud in the inducement - Whenever a Federal legislative act or agency promulgated regulation is publically presented, whether verbally or in writing, by an elected or appointed official, in a manner that is untrue or misleading and is subsequently proven to be untrue, then that adopted law or regulation is void, not merely voidable, and the Supreme Court, and all inferior courts, are without the authority to refrain from holding that said law or regulation is void.

An open letterChairman, House Judicial CommitteeThe Honorable Bob GoodlatteCongressman Goodlatte,I will grant, I am not one of your constituents - yet you are the Chairman of the House Judicial Committee and to this position do I write.The other day I discovered Senate Resolution 511 dated April 10, 2008. The official document is here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/sres511/textIt appears (then) Senator's Clinton and Obama signed as submission a resolution to the Senate Judiciary Committee; the resolution Senator McCain was #1. Born on US Soil and #2. Born of two (2) parents who were US Citizens, resolving the controversy of his bid for the Presidency in the 2008 elections...I cannot find a similar resolution determining Barack Hussein Obama meets the same Constitutional requirement of "Natural Born Citizen" and I defer to Supreme Court case 88 U.S. 162, Minor v. Happersett, 1875; for Supreme Justice Waite's definition of the term - which landmark reference is not found in the White Paper the House Judicial Committee wrote on the topic...Sir, I charge you, as the Chairman of the House Judicial Committee, to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the rules of the House of Representatives, the Rule of Law and US Code and remove Barack Hussein Obama and this administration as quickly as possible.I need not cite all of the evidence from Congressional inquiries, Investigations and intelligence Congress has already gathered documenting the lawlessness of this entire administration - the simple fact Mr. Obama does not meet Constitutional eligibility requirements for the office of President is sufficient to remove him and this administration.Yes Sir, it is just as simple as that.I and millions of Americans - Democrats and Republicans - understand the implications of this - the requirement of overturning every law he has signed, the requirement of removing every person he has appointed - and we are good with that.As a Nation, we can work through that. I strongly suspect that you will discover millions of Americans who - like me - will willingly devote their time and skills to this effort at the direction of Congress - without pay.The House and Senate need to uphold the Constitution and Rule of Law - else, what are we as a Nation? This goes far beyond party bounds - this is the freedom of the People of this Nation at stake, our National Security at stake.This is not something that can be neglected nor simply swept under the rug to be forgotten later - this is the Rule of Law and a requirement of the Constitution this Nation was founded upon - the same document our Nation is supposed to be run by.Here, you have a Senate document validating the exact issue of Constitutional eligibility for Senator McCain in his bid for Presidency in 2008 and President Obama, in the long form Birth Certificate presented on the White House website, affirms his Father was a Kenyan - a British subject - not an American Citizen as required under the Constitution of the United States for the position of President.I find no Senate resolution verifying Barack Hussein Obama is a "Natural Born Citizen" of the United States!To wit; Barack Hussein Obama was not eligible for the office of President in 2008 and he and his administration must be immediately removed in its entirety.Congressman Boehner must be appointed interim President until such a time as lawful elections can be arranged and we as a Nation need to return our Federal Government to the grounds this Nation was founded upon.

Unfortunately,  the Rev William Barber is, himself, a ‘racist troublemaker’ who seems to erroneously intent on opening up the election process so as he and his ‘left-wing’ followers are able to violate the laws at will by voting ‘often and many times repeatedly’ to elect whomever they choose; leaving free, open, and honest elections into ‘anarchy’.

 

Rev William Barber speaks for a small group of those who continue and demand total political control by using a ‘one-sided voice’ of ‘racism’ as a problem, at all costs.

 

Inasmuch as Rev William Barber seems to be interested only in his version of ‘racial equality’ of ‘civil rights’, should it be ‘equitable’ for NAACP President Barber to ‘demand more racial equality’ in the college as well as professional sports of basketball and football.

 

On this issue, NAACP President Barber apparently wants anyone and everyone to walk into any and all political ‘polls’ at any and all times and he wishes the ‘polls’ to remain open almost endlessly, and vote as often and freely as he chooses; no checks for preventing ‘Voter fraud’.

 

Is President Barber’s position related only to enhance African Americans?  If and when will President Barber, many others in the NAACP, and all others elsewhere, ever get over ‘racism’?  Why do ‘bigoted’ individuals continue to practice ‘racism equality’ rather than ‘true equality’?

 

It appears NAACP President Barber continues to lead and practice his support of ‘Socialism’; all governments to provide all wants and needs to all the people, and all the time at taxpayers’ expense.

 

President Barber fails to understand the ‘facts’ under a Republic system of government that as the ‘Iron Lady’, Margaret Thatcher once said, ‘The problem with Socialism you eventually run out of other people’s money.’

 

North Carolinians make up a state where there is very, very little of racism; a majority of my State of North Carolina’s racism being displayed by NAACP’s President, the Rev. William Barber, himself.

 

Rev. William Barber, ‘bury’ your own ‘racism’.  Get over it.  You are an embarrassment to civilization.  Upwards of near 80% of (y)our North Carolinians support Voter ID.

I have told many people, "One doesn't have to have a friend in order to be one.". 

Too bad Pres. Obama doesn't understand this.  He definitely has not been a friend to this nation.

Have you ever heard of "Constitutional Convention"?  Most people haven't but most people have heard about "Prohibition" and that it was over turned.  "Constitutional Convention" was responsible for this and it was the only and last time "Constitutional Convention" has ever been used.

One method the U.S. Congress uses to pass laws is through  "Joint Resolution" .

This joint resolution "must" be submitted to the floor of the "Senate" or the "House", from a committee "or" through"Constitutional Convention".

Constitutional Convention is a direct path that, "We The People" rarely use to influence the laws or over turn Laws made on Capital Hill by amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  For example, as mentioned before, the last time Constitutional Convention was used was to over turn "prohibition".  Though the U.S. congress takes credit for over turning Prohibition, it was actually the collective efforts of the people that did it. This power of the people is a well kept secret for a reason and I know you can guess why.

Constitution Convention is the authority platform of the people in which "We The People" can require and force U.S. Congress to put forth a joint resolution for a vote and amend the U.S. Constitution to enact or overturn any law of the land and the President is powerless to "Veto" it.

Even as you read this email, a propositon for a "joint resolution" to amend the U.S. constitution to define marriage to be the union of one man and one woman has remained stagnated, unrecognized and unapproved by the House Judicial Committee for over a year and half.  It was submitted approximately April of 2010 and in November 2010 the first indications of over turning the Defense of Marriage Act(DOMA) was announced.  The House Judiciary Committee is controlled by Liberal Democrats.

A Constitutional Convention, which is the collective proclamation and efforts of two thirds of all state legislatures, would force the "House Judicial Committee" to put forth a joint resolution concerning an amendment to the U.S. constitution to be voted on defining marriage as between one man and one woman.  This is just one example of the untold scope of authority "We The People" actually do have and must find a way to excericse if this country is to prevent a continual decline of morality,traditional values,true equality and prosperity for "all" people

With your help of forwarding this to your friends and a collective effort from the Tea Party grass roots, "We The People" can once again,declare freedom from tryranny.

Please forward this to all regions Tea Party Commanders for consideration.

Thank you.

Mission Statement[i]
Create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community.

American diplomacy in the 21st century is based on fundamental beliefs: our freedom is best protected by ensuring that others are free; our prosperity depends on the prosperity of others; and our security relies on a global effort to secure the rights of all. The history of the American people is the chronicle of our efforts to live up to our ideals. In this moment in history, we recognize that the United States has an immense responsibility to use its power constructively to advance security, democracy, and prosperity around the globe. We will pursue these interests and remain faithful to our beliefs.


FY 2004-2009 Department of State and USAID Strategic Plan

 

According to the U.S. State Department, for the fiscal years 2004-2009, the United States mission is to createsecurity, democracy and prosperity throughout the world not only for U.S. citizens, but the people of the world as a whole. While I find this statement to be extremely generous and altruistic, I can’t help but wonder why the U.S. State Departments mission statement is a contradiction rather than an axiom. The premise is fraught with controversy which necessitates discussion.  Typically, actions speak louder than words; I shall endeavor to discuss both the actions and the words of the U.S. State Department.

I suggest we take a look at this mission statement which was taken directly from the U.S. Department of State website and fully examine its meaning. Let’s start with the statement: the creation of a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community. While I would agree the United States has acted in an honorable fashion in the past, such as, the sacrifices made by the American people to end Hitler’s reign of terror. This effort, of course, was not just an American effort; it was an effort by many people of many nations who worked together for a common and righteous goal. I believe the end result was in fact, a more secure, just, and prosperous world. But let’s fast forward to the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty first century and examine our actions.

Iraq is a good example of the U.S. State Departments mission. How many bombs and bullets does it take to create security, democracy or prosperity in Iraq? From January 1991 to December 2011 the expenditure of munitions by the United States and its allies in Iraq hasn’t actually created security, democracy or prosperity; it has created instability, inequality and poverty. I’m not suggesting Saddam Hussein wasn’t a ruthless dictator, I am suggesting he was an ally and protégé of the CIA and the U.S. State Department. So how did this war that basically lasted 20 years (I include the years between Operation Desert Storm and the 2003 Iraq War, when the U.S. military maintained a no-fly zone by bombing Iraq), create a secure, democratic and prosperous Iraq as a result of our CIA protégé Saddam Hussein and the U.S. State Department mission?

Iraq had one of the highest standards of living in the Middle East after the Ba’ath party stepped away from the CIA following the coup in 1968. This increased standard of living happened over the next 22 years, basically through the nationalization of the Iraqi oil industry[ii]. Now that the U.S. military has left Iraq, after 20 years of war, the Iraqi standard of living is improving somewhat, yet in 2008 the World Food Programme[iii] estimated “3.1% of Iraqi households were described as “food insecure” and living with hunger and fearing starvation.” This is a sad but “considerable improvement to the 15.4% figure from the survey in 2005.” In 2010 the BBC reported, “23% of Iraqis live below the poverty line[iv].” However, I find it hard to believe Iraqi’s are more secure as a result of its people fearing starvation or because of the 20 year killing spree in their country by the west, or the 8 years of war with Iran for certain favors by Saddam’s mentor, the CIA and the U.S. State Department. Figures for documented civilian deaths from violence in the 2nd Persian Gulf War, also known as the 2003 Iraq War, alone are between 107,055 and 116,979 people according to IBC (Iraq Body Count) [v].

 

“…In the case of Iraq, the question that emerges from this consideration is,

“Was there any other way to remove Saddam?” In this case, the answer, as

described above, is yes, but the U.S. government is not sufficiently dexterous

or focused to accomplish lower cost, longer-term solutions.

 

The conclusion is that American leaders and the American people must assume

that a foreign policy objective must be so important that it is worth doing very

badly--because it is probable that the U.S. government will, in the event, do

it very badly.Good intentions are not enough. Our good intentions, when

acted upon, have done much damage.”

 

Charles Duelfer[vi]

Excerpt from, Hide and Seek: The Search for Truth in Iraq

 

 

I can only wonder how 20 years of war with the U.S. from 1991 to 2011, along with the decades of meddling by the CIA and the U.S. State Department has created a more secure, democratic and prosperous Iraq? If you look at Iraq today you will find a country besieged by violence; the daily Al Jazeera reports of violence in Iraq are all similar, “Iraq: A country still in shambles[vii],” “Scores killed in Iraq attacks[viii],” and “Has sectarian violence returned to Iraq[ix].” Daily reports from the BBC are almost mirror images, “Deadly blasts hit Baghdad, Kirkuk and other Iraq cities[x],” “Iraq violence: Eight killed in Baquba café bomb attacks[xi],” and “Bomb attack in Iraq kills three Lebanese Shia pilgrims[xii].”

Should the United States aggressively fight and act as the policemen of the world? I would argue our Navy should and does protect international waters to keep open all shipping lanes as well as protect mariners on the high seas, but this is just as much a duty and responsibility of other nations Navies as it is ours. But why should the U.S. military actually be required (other than to simply follow orders), or if it is even legal, to act in other nations at the behest of the U.S. State Department as their minions to further a misguided U.S. State Department foreign policy agenda? I’m not certain within how many countries a combative role is played by the U.S. military, or if it is even possible to know the true number, but reports indicate “direct action has been taken by the U.S. military in Yemen and Somalia[xiii].” In 1980, “The Reagan-Bush administration begins funding the Contra War[xiv],” according to Stanford.edu, “This ten-year war is fought at the cost of 60,000 lives, 178 billion dollars, and the Nicaraguan infrastructure and economy.” Other reports state, “The U.S. funded the rebels, illegally mined a harbor, taught the rebels terror tactics, and destroyed the elected government’s infrastructure. Nicaragua lost approximately a quarter of its population and the rest were terrorized[xv].” Or the U.S. involvement in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990’s as stated in a report, “Croatian troops were being trained by…Military Professional Resources, which was licensed by the U.S. State Department. Some believe the U.S. actually instructed Croatia when to proceed with their attack and promised to reward them[xvi].”  Further evidence the U.S. acts as the policemen of the world, are U.S. military operations in Africa as reported by Al Jazeera in, “Timeline; US military activity in Africa…from 1993 to 2011[xvii].” I do believe the Congress should act solely based upon what is best for the people of our nation when we are attacked. I must also note; many of the operations in Africa during that time were security and evacuation operations of U.S. citizens, U.S. government personnel at U.S. embassies and third nation citizens which are acceptable under the U.S. Constitution. But the true purpose of the U.S. military is for the common defence as stated in the U.S. Constitution. However, without express consent from another sovereign nation asking for our assistance, we have no authority to act within those borders and we should not be compelled to act within those borders as the world’s policemen. Unless the United States has been attacked byanother nation or our citizens in those nations have been attacked, where is our obligation?

While our fundamental beliefs may be to ensure that others are free, prosperous and secure in their rights; our beliefs, as set forth in the U.S. Constitution[xviii], undeniably are intended for the citizens of this great nation; the United States of America. Can we actually defend policies of the U.S. State Department which bring our economy and the economies of other nations to the brink of ruin[xix]? The U.S. State Department must believe the power of the United States, whether wielded constructively or destructively is a responsible way to advance their form of security, democracy and prosperity around the globe. Reuters reports approximately 250,000 deaths, 365,000 wounded and 7.8 million people displaced in Iraq alone and a possible dollar cost of 3.7 to 4.4 trillion for Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan according to Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies[xx]. The report also noted even with the deaths of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, “Iraq and Afghanistan are far from stable democracies.” The National Priorities Project breaks down the costs of the 2003 Iraq War and the Afghanistan War in Cost of War to the United States, which clearly shows, ‘prosperity’ is definitely not part of the U.S. State Department equation[xxi]. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter recently accused the Obama administration of sanctioning the widespread abuse of human rights[xxii] and violating 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights[xxiii]with regard to drone attacks. How do these violations of individual human rights ‘secure the rights of all’ as described in the U.S. State Departments mission statement?

Should the U.S. engage in activities which cause massive death and destruction in other sovereign nations, such as Iraq[xxiv], without just cause? Chief inspector for the U.S.-led Iraq Survey Group, Charles A. Duelfer stated to a Senate panel, “We were almost all wrong” on Iraq. If Mr. Hans Blix[xxv], head of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) from March 2000 to June 2003, stated the war was illegal, and Dr. David Kay[xxvi]chief inspector of the U.S.-led ISG (who resigned 23 January 2004) and his successor Mr. Charles A. Duelfer, all stated there were no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq, then where was the just cause for the invasion?

Perhaps as a Republic, we should demand the Congress of the United States act in a manner as set forth in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution with concern to the Declaration of War and not hand that power over to the Executive Branch of government, which has the power to Make War, but not declare war. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit didn’t see it that way[xxvii]. The U.S Constitution also states in Article II, Section 1 with regard to the duties of the President, “Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”” If the U.S. President and the U.S. Congress fail to act in a manner as set forth in the U.S. Constitution, then haven’t they violated the U.S. Constitution?

We should act if possible, to provide freedom, prosperity and human rights to everyone on the planet through diplomacy. Unfortunately, the U.S. State Departments attempts in this area are generally at gunpoint or through bribery. But first and foremost, the Constitution of the United States of America was and is intended to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and to our Posterity.”

An example of the U.S. State Departments policy of diplomacy at gunpoint is the invasion of Iraq in March of 2003. Prior to the invasion, the UN Security Council was advised by Mr. Blix the lead weapons inspector, that Iraq was cooperating and had given access, but no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) were found. After the invasion, the U.S.-led Iraq Survey Group didn’t find one WMD[xxviii]. The transcript from an interview with Margaret Warner of PBS and chief inspector for the U.S.-led ISG, Mr. Duelfer, states there were no WMD in Iraq[xxix]. An example of the U.S. State Departments policy of diplomacy through bribery is a $7.5 billion dollar aid package to Pakistan. The U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated the money would mainly go to seven signature  projects[xxx]. The New York Times report further stated, “Pakistanis see the aid as a crude attempt to buy friendship and an effort to alleviate antipathy toward United States drone attacks against militants in the tribal areas.”

The founding fathers of this nation created a Constitutional Republic, they never intended to create a democracy[xxxi], nor did they intend to export such ideals around the globe. I would unequivocally state, the chronicle of American efforts throughout the history of this great nation have been to uphold such lofty ideals as stated in the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence; which among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness[xxxii]. U.S. citizens have historically been a generous people, who are concerned with the general welfare of others; within the United States as well as outside of her borders. Yet nowhere within the U.S. Constitution does it state, “We the People of the United Stateswill provide these ideals to the entire globe, whether they like it or not.”

Perhaps the U.S. State Departments desire for democracy around the globe should be examined as well as the word itself. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary[xxxiii] defines democracy as “a government by the people; especially: rule of the majority” and “a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.” However, if we look at the etymology of democracy, I believe we find something entirely different. According to The Olin Revelation[xxxiv], typically, the traditional viewpoint is “democracy is derived from two Greek words: demos, meaning the common people, and kratos, meaning rule.” Other ancient Greek words also “meant or are related to” common people, such as “idiotes” meaning “unskilled person” (“people who didn’t participate in public life”), or “laos” which is where “we get the words laymen and laity” it also means “people of the same community.” However, kratos“appears to be closely associated with acts of strength, courage and/or violence.” So one could easily say and define democracy as “governance by force,” which seems to fit in with the U.S. State Departments mission statement as well as its actions.

 

                       “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety,

                                                      deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

                                                              Benjamin Franklin[xxxv]

 

Assume the U.S State Department is concerned with democracy and freedom for the U.S. and others around the globe. Why do their actions point away from so-called democracy and freedom? Under Section 411 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Secretary of State has the power to designate groups, whether foreign or domestic, as terrorists[xxxvi]. Terrorist activity is defined and states, “…’engage in terrorist activity’ means, in an individual capacity or as a member of an organization--to commit or incite to commit, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily injury, a terrorist activity.” By definition, the Secretary of State could label a home-owner a terrorist for killing an intruder within the home in the middle of the night as well as label members of the military or law enforcement agencies who act within the scope of their duties, as such. Another example, is the U.S. State Departments desire to have their own drones as reported by Nextgov, “The procurement…marks the start of a project to provide…UAV assets that could be deployed anywhere in the world[xxxvii].” Of course this is proffered under the guise of security for diplomats, which is undoubtedly a euphemism for spying.

The New York Times reported on 9 December 2011 about a formal complaint to the UN Security Council by Iran, “The hostile and aggressive behavior of the United States in sending a sophisticated radar-evading spy drone over Iranian territory[xxxviii].” Congress has not made a Declaration of War with regard to Iran, yet we violate their airspace with a surveillance drone. I’m certain the U.S. Department of State considers this to be security for the American and Iranian people, just as their desire for a worldwide fleet of drones is for the protection of the world. However, the U.S. State Department is not alone in this endeavor. The U.S. Congress has passed a bill which requires the FAA to open American airspace to drones by 2015. PRESSTV[xxxix] reports, “There are serious policy questions on the horizon about privacy and surveillance, by both government agencies and commercial entities” according to, Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Project on Government Secrecy[xl]. I can only wonder how this possibly furthers a more secure, democratic and prosperous world. However, I do believe the definition of democracy as “governance by force”applies.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is building a new massive complex in Bluffdale Utah. According to Reader Supported News (RSN) as well as The Extinction Protocol, “near-bottomless databases” will collect and store “all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases and other digital “pocket litter[xli].”” This is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated[xlii].” The upshot according to a senior intelligence official, “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.” I believe this is a perfect example of the U.S. government’s desire to control peoples every move; to do away with Justice, to discard domestic Tranquility, to completely forget about the general Welfare, and to remove peoples Blessings of Liberty not only for themselves, but for their Posterity as well. None of what is happening is about security, democracy or prosperity; this is all about governance by force. Invasive government tactics such as these, whether domestic or international, are a threat to our Freedom, our Liberty and our way of life.

I freely state without reservation, the President of the United States, the U.S. Congress and Judiciary as well as the U.S. State Department have nothing but utter contempt and disdain for the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our Republic has been decimated by those who wish to do the same on a global level. I cannot believe we have been using our power constructively over the last number of decades, or we would have been trying to form a more perfect Union, as our founding fathers envisioned, rather than foisting the U.S. governments and the U.S. State Departments depraved policies on ourselves and on other peoples. By allowing these “Nabobs of Obfuscation and Deceit” the unfettered power to destroy people and nations, “We the People” of the United States are, in fact, also guilty of violating the U.S. Constitution by allowing Hypocrites and Prevaricatorsthe absolute power which they so desperately crave. We have neither advanced security in the U.S. nor abroad. We have not advanced Liberty or prosperity around the globe, and we certainly have not advanced Liberty or prosperity right here in the United States of America.

                                                                  Thomas Jefferson[xliii]

 

 

God Bless this Great Republic, the United States of America. Completed on this 2ndday of July, in the year of our Lord 2012.

To the People of the Republic of Texas:

April 30, 2011 in the Year of Our Lord

It is with little hope of publication that I sit to record these, my thoughts on the current state of affairs affecting our Republic of Texas. Many are the ills confronting us as a people of this proud state, indeed, too many to commiserate here in a limited missive.

I have been awakened on occasion the last few years by a loud thumping noise. The noise vexed me greatly for I could discern no ready source of the chaotic din. After long hours of intense contemplation, and some investigation, I have discovered the source. It is the sound of the past patriots of the Texas soul spinning in their graves. Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, William Travis, Jim Bowie, Ben Milam, and a host of others have indeed polished the insides of their coffins. The despicable levels we have allowed this once great and noble example of liberty to descend to are unconscionable. The Lone Star no longer waves proudly for all to see. Instead it hangs limply in shame for want of a patriotic spirit in its peoples.

There is no question, at least in my admittedly limited intellect, that we are in the closing stages of a long, protracted agenda intended to strip the peoples of the United States of all that freedom and liberty once meant. We are being morphed from free citizens with rights reserved to subjects with no such rights as are not allowed to us by our masters. The usurpations and transgressions are too many to list, yet a few of the most onerous must indeed  be addressed.

The problem as I see it is we are being attacked from so many directions that we lose focus on what is important to us as citizens of Texas. To be sure, the national issues must be confronted; however, it is apparent to my poor cognizance that we should perhaps get our own house in order before cleaning up the neighborhood. Perchance, if the citizens of the greatest state in the union can stand up and loudly proclaim “Cease!  No More!”  then the other more timid will find their wits and courage and follow the example. Texas and Texicans have a moral imperative to be leaders in the defense of our rights and liberties. The spirit of Goliad, the Alamo and San Jacinto courses hotly through our veins. The honor and sacrifice of those Texicans who rose and defended the union in World Wars one and two deserve no less. The countless brave souls who have spent their lives and honor to protect us in undeclared “wars” and “police actions” deserve no less. And finally, we who have been graced by the almighty to have been born in this great state must rise to our rightful height of dignity and honor and lead where no other will advance. If our current state leadership is not up to the task, we must cast them aside and find those who will lead. We can no longer sit and listen to the mindless drivel being spewed by our leaders. Mediocrity and compliance are no longer possible or desired. We need leaders who will protect and defend most vigorously our rights and interests as Texicans.

Much is being said about the process of State nullification. Many brush it aside as wishful thinking and others merely shrug out of ignorance of the process. Rest assured fellow Texicans, nullification is a real, viable reply to the transgressions of the mighty. It is a remedy that we should be pursuing with boldness and intent. Alas, the only alternatives are secession or, worse, submission.  Dissolution of the union is not an option in my opinion.  Forcefully returning it to its enumerated scope of powers is an option and in these times, a vital necessity.

The uncertainty of will would seem to me to be a serious lack of education. Our children are no longer taught to be citizens. They are instead taught to do whatever makes them feel good. It would appear that self-esteem is thought to be more important than intellect and integrity.  There is no right or wrong, only that which pleases us. Our churches, schools and most definitely our parents have instilled no sense of patriotism or civic mindedness in our youngsters. How then are they to defend themselves against those who would harm them? Would you have them become a herd of mindless, obedient slaves to the moneyed elite? Would you condemn them to an eternity of abject servitude to a powerful nanny state that forbids individuality and independent thought?  Is this really what you and we wish for our children and their children? God Forbid! I would rather they grow up with the chance to be anything they desire. I would wish them the success that all should be free to attain.

So, who will take up the burden? Who will lead and who will follow? Do we Texicans no longer have the will and honor to lead? I wonder… and I fear.

Upon this missive rests the likelihood of others. I feel the need to address the nullification issue. And I should like to point out how I see it as a deterrent to the various usurpations cast upon us. Perhaps I shall offer my thoughts in a future letter. It all depends.

Tea Party Loses Way, Forgets King-making
Embraces Third-Party Status??
It’s beginning to look like many in the TEA Party have decided that acting in “its” perceived best interest and not in the nation’s best interest is the way to go . . . ho hum, ho hum just another political party that doesn’t understand the difference between winning and vainglory. Truly a sad state of affairs given the TEA (Taxed enough already) Party’s tremendous initial integrity and promise. Rajjpuut believes that thanks to the inclusion of the TEA Party in the affairs of the nation this November, the chances of the Democrats to maintain, or even advance their majorities in the House and Senate have dramatically increased. That is, the once great hope for America, for winning back the country, is proving to be just another short-sighted third party effort.
TEA Party candidates running in primaries, trying to get elected? Sounds like an enormous waste of time and money. Sounds like a sure way to become part of the corrupt system rather than to actually reform it. Rajjpuut would point all TEA Party folks toward the thoughtful example of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican statehood . . . no, no, we're NOT talking about Obama . . . .
The ultra-cynical Barack Obama would like to make Puerto Rico into the 51st State. If he succeeds, he will actually have created real jobs for flagmakers, wow, the very first success of his misguided regime. Mr. Obama, however, is clearly NOT thinking about jobs for flagmakers or for anyone else. He has embarked on a desperate gamble. He needs to add about fifteen million Hispanics to the voting rolls, keep them in a riled up “revolutionary fever-pitch” and use their votes (expecting to win a split of about 80-20 or 85-15 for the Democrats at the ballot boxes) to dominate the elections of 2012 and 2014 and enshrine the progressive-wing of the Democratic Party as the permanent holder of the White House and both chambers of Congress. If you thought he’d brought us hell on earth in 2009 and 2010 . . . consider the specter of “President-for-life” Barack Obama – doesn’t that just thrill you?
Mr. Obama, passing his desired Immigration “Reform” bill into law and once he becomes “el dictador” (the dictator) here could than impose statehood on Puerto Rico from outside if he chooses to, but that’s the only way Puerto Rico would be dragged into the USA. You see, Mr. Obama doesn’t understand PR politics and the model of PR politics is also the model the TEA Party leadership does NOT understand either. The survival of the TEA Party and the utter defeat of the Obama regime depends upon the TEA Party wising up . . . QUICKLY and adopting the PR model. Let Ol’ Rajjpuut make this perfectly clear in case you're not aware of what goes in Puerto Rico . . . .
The single-most burning issue in PR politics for the last sixty years has been American Statehood. Like Hamlet’s vacillation, it’s a major question of “To be or not to be . . . .” In 1952, the Puerto Rican people made a huge deal of demanding (and getting) PR recognized legally with commonwealth status (in Spanish “un estado libre associado” or 'a free but associated state'). Puerto Rico is by law thus a free territory associated with the United States. This single issue has so dominated political thinking for the last six decades that three separate political parties arguing this issue more than any other, have risen up to dominate PR politics. These three sides have been arguing this issue and controlling the country until recently when another seemingly-intelligent fourth side has emerged. We’ll ignore the arising fourth party, its influence is not yet clear, except to say they have chosen perhaps the wisest ground of all, they refuse to get involved in statehood at all which could prove to be a very popular stand and devote themselves to more mundane matters in island life . . . oh, by the way, to be fully accurate there are nineteen political parties in PR but up till now on the most important question of all and on other very important questions only three of these parties have mattered. Understanding that the situation is very fluid in PR and that influence from one party flows easily to other parties within their nineteen parties, here’s what’s going on:
A. The right-wing organization los “Estadistas” believes that the future of Puerto Rico should be aligned with the United State, better yet within the United States. They say that everything good now going on will be amplified a hundredfold and all miseries would be reduced tenfold if PR becomes the 51st state. Their strength from year to year varies from 30-37% with 33-34% of the people agreeing with them on statehood at a given vote. They're somewhat like our Republican Party.
B. There is a left-wing organzation los “Independentistas” that wants Puerto Rico to become a free nation. The most progressive among them actually hate the United States and paint the United States as an empire that dominates and exploits them. Think of them as our revolutionary-progressive Democrats here seeking to fundamentally transform their island. Depending upon economic conditions, their popularity oscillates between 32-38% with 35% of voters typically voting with them on the statehood issue.
C. The third major party when it comes to the big question of statehood is actually not so much a third party but a third way of thinking. They are officially the Commonwealth Party. Every time the issue of statehood comes up for a ballot (Puerto Ricans love voting on this issue far more than any other) their utterly INexpensive and utterly effective campaigning features a lot of volunteers parading around with a few signs emphasizing the beauty of “el estatus quo” or keeping things just the way they are. The Commonwealth Party membership varies from 27-34% with 30% being typical support on the issue of Statehood. While they are not always effective on other issues, the Commonwealth Party always wins the statehood vote because they stake out and dominate the middle ground and the other two positions are mutually exclusive. The common wealth party also does tend to enjoy a far greater domination in issues other than statehood despite their low numbers as they almost universally stake out the middle ground and later when a coalition government is formed, the commonwealth party is one of the few almost always invited to the table by the other parties. In so far as any nation with 19 parties can be dominated by one political party the Commonwealth Party dominates Puerto Rican politics . . . most importantly they exercise this domination by only winning on one issue: statehood.
Rajjpuut would suggest to TEA Party leadership that WINNING (and thus saving our nation) is far more important than just looking good. What does that mean?
For one possible example of the probable wrong course, Rand Paul, a nominal libertarian^^ just won a state primary over a heavily backed Republican candidate. Rand might win in November, but then again he might not. He’s not a Republican and will not have the fund-raising of the Republicans behind him -- NOR SHOULD HE, they've got their own troubles and their own candidates. Those in the know say it’s 50-50 Paul wins in November; Rajjpuut says its fairly unlikely he’ll win . . . votes follow money, unfortunately. While Rajjpuut would clearly prefer Rand Paul over 94% of Democrats and over 100% of progressive Republicans and/or progressive Democrats . . . politics is a profession built upon hard work and practicality which means "MONEY." And that is the dilemma of all third parties in America and all grass-roots movements everywhere: Piling up money and doing the hard work while never being tempted to make shortcuts to get that all-too-crucial monetary backing is essential but -- just as cleanliness is next to Godliness in politics, it's also next to impossible.
Why is the TEA Party even considering nominating candidates? Our early successes have gone to our heads. And the early successes have impressed Republicans and shocked and angered a few Democrats. The TEA Party integrity has also been a refreshing new addition to the American political scene – in fact, Rajjpuut would say the TEA Party integrity and winning . . . highlight the most favorable path ahead: like the Commonwealth Party in Puerto Rico let's be real conservatives on fiscal matters and the Constitution and possibly a few more associated matters (such as the TEA Party “Contract FROM America” perhaps the single-greatest political document since the Magana Carta and TEA Party leadership is letting it languish on the sidelines instead of relentlessly educating Americans (“This, this ‘Contract FROM America’ is what we are all about.”) Let’s say the TEA Party’s effectiveness in winning is right about 67-68%. That’s amazing for not having any money. But this figure needs to be tempted by reality and practicality: Scott Brown, of Massachusetts, for example, has done some minor good but sided with Obama on three critical issues so where does that leave us when Brown comes up for a vote? Rajjpuut suggests, it leaves us right where we should be . . . holding Brown's feet to the fire while comparing him to other candidates.
Imagine this lovely scenario: by staying a low-budget, deeply patriotic non-violent group who’s integrity comes to be admired by even the mainstream media (that's not appearing likely yet, eh?) that concentrates on conservative fiscal and constitutional matters (such as repealing Obamacare as a violation of the Constitution, especially the 10th Amendment; and amending the Constitution so that all bills must delineate why and where they are justified within the Constitution) say we set as a goal: expanding our power and influence so that the TEA Party supported candidates and issues win 75% . . . the TEA Party becomes the nation’s kingmakers here in America just as the Commonwealth Party dominates in Puerto Rico. That’s an easily achievable and far more noble goal than becoming** another political party.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
^^ Rajjpuut is a Libertarian and Rand Paul truly does NOT FULLY understand the political thinking of libertarianism as seen by his comments on the civil rights law -- where he argued about angels on the heads of pins rather than just being "Libertarian practical" and saying (to himself) "it's the law of the land and I agree with 99% of it, so I'll keep my mouth shut." For all practical purposes the Civil Rights Law of '64 is as perfect as its ever going to be, shut up and move on to Fiscal Conservativism and Constitutional Conservativism as the only subjects you talk to reporters about. See Rajjpuut's critique of this issue here:
similarly when abortion is brought up: "It's the law of the land" move on to talka about Fiscal Conservativism and Constitutional Conservativism, AMEN!
**This could change for the TEA Party in say, six or eight years as they gain America's esteem . . . and it might become desirable to become a vote-seeking party. But ask yourself this, if winning and advancing the two major conservative issues is all that matters (Rajjpuut says it is NOW and for the foreseeable future) than how much more effective can a political party be than 75%??? Not to mention that political parties and politicians tend to get corrupted. It’s more difficult at first, but after awhile they all lose their integrity. Isn’t it better to be the one holding feet to the fire, than being the one whose “vision slips”???? Better to strategically control the fray while staying apart from it and maintaining one's objectivity and integrity, NO?

The short term Tea Party goals are important. We must remove irresponsible politicians from Washington DC and try to regain some measure of control over our government. This is only a stopgap measure, however, since the legal loopholes that allowed this gargantuan government to evolve are still in place.

We can argue about what we consider Constitutional until we are blue in the face, but as long as the Supreme Court rules in favor of big government with vague interpretations, the Republic will always be at risk.

The first time I saw a map with 38 states taking action to legally oppose Obamacare, it suddenly dawned on me: 38! Just the number of states needed to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution! We have the momentum and now support from the several states.

THE TIME IS RIGHT TO FOCUS THE TEA PARTY ON A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO ELIMINATE THE GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE AND MODIFY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE FOREVER
