The Constitution of the American Federal Republic

“The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.”—John Locke

If a committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain, what is a Convention composed of 55 indebted and aristocratically biased delegates (and 34 absentees)?  A dominion orgy. The war of insurrection/secession from Britain was primarily about the money problem, and even more so in generating the push for a Convention revising the Articles of Confederation. For 245 years it has always been in this country the money question; who makes it, who controls it, who profits by its manipulation.

The motive force behind the Constitution of 1787 was not a politically imperiled country. This is a propagandized myth built on deliberate obfuscation. It was an economically imperiled one until it recovered in 1785. After the “Revolution” concluded in 1783 American manufacturing exploded. In some areas it nearly doubled from pre-war levels. Once the restrictions on trade and money—banking, by Britain were lifted prosperity rapidly turned to a glut and then depression. Inevitably this led to lobbying of governments for trade protection, political privilege, and price supports (taxes and tariffs) in order to prevent business collapse. The Articles of Confederation were blamed for being “too weak” to force the issue of finance and economic exclusivity, but not because of foreign political threat.

“The want of some authority which should procure justice to the public creditors, and an observance of treaties with foreign nations, produced the call of a convention of the states at Annapolis.—Thomas Jefferson

“the movement for the Constitution originated with and was pushed through by ‘a small and active group of men immediately interested through their personal possessions in the outcome of their labors . . . . The propertyless masses were . . . excluded at the outset from participation (through representatives) in the work of framing the Constitution. The members of the Philadelphia Convention which drafted the Constitution were, with a few exceptions, immediately, directly, and personally interested in, and derived economic advantage from, the establishment of the new system.’"  Professor Charles Beard quoted in We the People p5

It has been so ever since unto this day of national bankruptcy and personal indebtedness. The entire motive force for creation of the Constitution was from the merchant class who sought exclusive control of business and money by political means. The merchants and businessmen of the mid 1700’s were so jealous of their profits they divested religions from feeding at the trough of government taxation so they could do it themselves. Those men actually wrote this into the Constitution for all to see, and the ratification process crammed it down the throats of three million inhabitants. The “Revolutionary” War, like the Civil War, was never about general liberty for all. The liberation of slaves was a distraction from what was really happening—the establishment of complete and supreme power of the Federal government. Wars have been and always will be about greed with the more wealthy seizing and maintaining economic control of government for their own maintenance and profit. It was just as true of the Roman Empire’s expansion (plundering to pay for Rome’s profligacy) as it has been of every empire before them and since.

“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.” Chapterhouse: Dune

“…force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels.” Astronomer Erwin Finlay-Freundlich quoted in The Farce of Physics

The Constitution of 1787 was written to consolidate control of the country’s latent wealth into the hands of a few financial oligarchs. As soon as it was ratified (by limited plebiscite vote, not legislative) these men competed and still compete with each other for that control. The Federal Republic, a new Merchant State, was founded on the idea of government bailout to resolve the insolvency and profligacy of business. Many Christian sects including Mormonism, consider the production of the Federal Constitution an inspired document, “men raised up to that purpose” in the case of Mormonism. How they can hold Liberty congruent with democratic equality is the epitome of Orwell’s Double Think. The nonsense of the Constitution’s preamble has been amply exposed in previous blogs. We then should examine for what purpose all the chicanery of offices and respective duties itemized therein were invented. What is obvious to the student of English history is that the Constitution’s intent and purpose was rooted in the Norman invasion and subjugation of the common English man. He who possesses the gold makes the rules.

Effectively, with the advent of Washington’s administration, the Constitution’s Bill of Rights (proposed 3-4-1789, ratified 12-15-1791) was honored in name only. The first thing the Federal Congress did after its election was set up economic controls, with the time honored thievery brought to England by the Norman invaders, to facilitate legal larceny. They first imposed tariffs, which are costs always covered by the consumer, not the supplier. This action is not as visible as the second act of robbery, taxes. This form of tax that threatened to rip the fragile republic asunder was Hamilton’s excise tax on all liquor production, the most odious of taxes among the Colonial union and its parent country. It was his intention to use that theft (a modern sheriff of Notingham), to cover the borrowed funds he obtained from the Rothschild bankers to fund the first National bank. And like every other banker of the time, leverage those proceeds through loans beyond available assets. Among other “investments” the purchasing of all the war debt certificates held by the common poor who spent their meager savings supporting the costs thereof. That Hamilton and his associates were buying them up at a fraction of their face value was not known among their holders until considerable extraction of wealth had been achieved. Is it any wonder those freedom-loving pioneers in the Western lands rebelled against a tax they had no direct control of in its enactment? It wasn’t taxation by representation, but taxation by fiat, enacted by “representatives” who inherently by appointment engaged in a conflict of interest.

This process, characteristic of the Federal Government, has always been the modis operandi since the beginning of America as a Nation. Who were they who concocted this scheme of back-door thievery?

Public Creditors; 80%
Land Speculators & Lenders; 30%
Industrialists/Traders & Shippers (15)/Lawyers (34); 20%
Investors/Speculators in public funds (at least 60% fictitious); >50%
Military veterans; 75%
Cincinnati members (27) among veterans (>41); 20%
Delegates in deep debt; >50% (debt suits brought by both British and American merchants were like weeds after rain)

    
The list could be more definitive, but the essence of what is written in the Constitution appeared there for the express purpose of resolving their money problems. The whole of it brings into sharp focus Franklin’s admonition that if they did not hang together in the Convention process, they would all surely hang separately. Just like today, they exploited the American economic system to their own advantage, with the typical solution of leaving the lowest on the economic rung holding the bag of worthless currency. Whether it is the codification of this practice in the Constitution, in business or trade, or Just in Time manufacturing, or government bailouts, there is always that group at the bottom who end up paying the most severely for the profligacy of these shysters.

“No attempt or pretence, that was ever carried into practical operation amongst civilized men—unless possibly the pretence of a ‘Divine Right,’ on the part of some, to govern and enslave others embodied so much of shameless absurdity, falsehood, impudence, robbery, usurpation, tyranny, and villainy of every kind, as the attempt or pretence of establishing a government by consent, and getting the actual consent of only so many as may be necessary to keep the rest in subjection by force. Such a government is a mere conspiracy of the strong against the weak. It no more rests on consent than does the worst government on earth.” Lysander Spooner p18 The Constitution of No Authority

“…there is not the slightest probability that there is a single man in the country, who both understands what the Constitution really is, and sincerely supports it for what it really is. The ostensible supporters of the Constitution, like the ostensible supporters of most other governments, are made up of three classes, viz.:
 
1. Knaves, a numerous and active class, who see in the government an instrument which they can use for their own aggrandizement or wealth.
 
2. Dupes—a large class, no doubt—each of whom, because he is allowed one voice out of millions in deciding what he may do with his own person and his own property, and because he is permitted to have the same voice in robbing, enslaving, and murdering others, that others have in robbing, enslaving, and murdering himself, is stupid enough to imagine that he is a ‘free man,’ a ‘sovereign’; that this is ‘a free government’; ‘a government of equal rights,’ ‘the best government on earth,’ and such like absurdities.

3. A class who have some appreciation of the evils of government, but either do not see how to get rid of them, or do not choose to so far sacrifice their private interests as to give themselves seriously and earnestly to the work of making a change.” p26 The Constitution of No Authority

This is what the Congress of the Federal Republic had power to do or not, prior to the fixing of Amendments. It is an Hobbesian concoction. Does this look like the establishment of Justice (Law is not justice) and securing the blessings of Liberty? Do the citizens or the States require paternalistic intervention to promote their general welfare? What the Federal Constitution does is itemize the extent of its authority and control over all other governments within its jurisdiction, and what the citizens thereof may not have power to do. That courts and their officers administer justice under these provisions is a burlesque, and the assertion of these powers and privileges does not secure Liberty, but restricts it, all under the guise of Congress, the President, and the Federal Judiciary upholding them by oath.

Justice exists to the extent that injustice is prevented. Likewise, Liberty exists to the extent that control, authority, or dominion is prevented. The Constitution as formed is largely a positive declaration of reserved privileges and cannot accomplish the objectives specified in its preamble. A person’s general welfare is a direct consequence of their own sovereignty. No person or Agency may interfere with that objective, even if by foolish consent. It was upon that principle, that concept, that the Articles of Confederation were composed. This is a metaphor of Gresham’s law: “Bad money drives out good.” Bad government quickly drives out good.

The Anglo-Saxon-Normans never cease to congratulate themselves on their sagacity at inventing various democratic feudalisms. They like to call it Liberty, and the first thing they did was compose an organizational plan of legal plunder, coercion, and subjugation, with limits thereof on paper which they then ignore. The seeds of a war of secession were planted within it, which came to fruition seventy-four years later.

“A strict constitutionalist might indeed say that the constitution died in 1861, and one would have to scratch one's head pretty diligently to refute him.” p86 Our Enemy, the State

Such abhorrence to abiding their own rules and edicts derive from a long history of feudalistic plunder and privilege. The only liberty in it at all is the opportunity granted to themselves by possession of collective power to enforce their collective Will, and they do this in league with lenders of fraudulent money. The tragedy is they do not grasp that collective consent, that is, representative government, is the very basis of collectivism of property and tyranny. Collective consent is the very basis of collectivism of property and tyranny.

One of the most fallacious doctrines to arise in Anglo-Saxon-Norman political science is that Rights inherent in each man can be conferred or extended to another man or bodies of men. They cannot if they are indeed inalienable. At best, only the subordinate authority to act in one’s interests can do so, and that only by the consent of all others to honor such an agreement. It’s foundation extends before that of Greece or Rome, to the very notion of incompetence—that certain persons are incapable of making moral decisions, thus needing an Agent or Force to act in their stead, thereby usurping such individuals of their autonomy and sovereignty over their own lives.

Not long into the study of the Federal Constitutional convention the investigator discovers the appointed delegates by the Continental Congress, commissioned to revise the Articles of Confederation, did no such thing. Three times the issue was brought before the assembly, and each time it was rejected. Instead they produced a document restructuring the Union of States into a National government, with powers over the States. This act, produced in secret, was a conspiracy, and what they did was commit fraud by conspiracy upon the Continental Congress, the States, and the citizenry. In English common law such fraudulent agreements and declarations are void and non-binding. But at the behest of George Washington (President of the Convention), in a letter to Congress, they rolled over and complied with it. What citizens today do not understand for deliberate obfuscation of the details in public education is, all debates, referendums, ratifications, and elections subsequent to an act of fraud are also void. They seem to comprehend this with the 2020 election cycle, but have yet to connect the dots in regard to creation of the Federal Constitution. It does not matter who supported it, nor how many, nor why. A fraud is still a fraud, and the Federal Convention’s deliberations remain an infringement upon the Rights of Man as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, to wit: ‘when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,…’” With the ratification of the Constitution, all predicatory principle outlined in the Declaration was trashed.

We have those “delegates” to the US Constitutional Convention to thank for the rise of the Trust magnates and Megacorporations that followed in their wake over the ensuing centuries. It was they who set the precedent for the special privileges of the rich and political favoritism that ensured it, by political design. Through tariffs, taxes, and discriminatory legislation these men assured for themselves and their posterity, wealth and power in a never-ending dynasty of Fascism. We have them to thank for the plundering of the common folk until not is left but a few rich and a surfeit of poor, existing as feudal slaves. The “Federal” government they created was expressly written for this purpose; to give them sole control over those elemental powers of prosperity.

The US of A has not become fascist. It was declared fascist in principle on foolscap, and given the label of Republic in an attempt to conceal the impending extortion, plunder, and oppression imposed by those who had and never have since relented in their intent to rule. Today we behold the mature face the Constitution sculpted with the tyranny of Corporative alliances (the Bilderberg Group, etc) inflicted by the Medical Establishment. Totalitarianism has always and forever been fueled by corporate greed.

“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.” Chapterhouse: Dune

“…force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels.” Astronomer Erwin Finlay-Freundlich quoted in The Farce of Physics

The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was written in 1892 by socialist minister Francis Bellamy, in order to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus discovering the New World, though Columbus never set foot on the Continental mass of the now forty-eight States. It was officially recognized by Congress June 22, 1942, when it was formally included in the U.S. Flag Code. Originally, it was executed in conjunction with a hand salute adopted by the Nazi military. From the day I was first introduced to pledging this loyalty oath in grammar school, standing on the grounds before a hoisted flag, I experienced the cognitive dissonance that disturbed my thoughts every time it was uttered: Why should I pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth? The excuse proffered by my public indoctrinators was that the flag represented the original Colonies, its war for independence, and the union that was born from it. But of those details I knew very little, and of loyalty and allegiance nothing. Since that distant day, I came to understand that sovereignty was the basis of human rights, called Natural Rights, and the foundation of Natural Law. Therefore, if I was sovereign in these affairs, then that inherent power supercedes government power, for government power composed of voluntary association is subservient to individual power. Instead of my pledging allegiance to a State represented by its flag, that State should avow its submission and complicity with my sovereign power in Natural Rights and Law. To perform such a pledge to the State is surrendering personal sovereignty to it, and acceding to its whims as a vassal, below that of a squire, if not a slave.

I have never legally sworn allegiance to the Federal Republic of America, nor to sustain or uphold its Constitution, save for the brief period I served in its Air Force (or for that matter any other so-called government), which oath was of no efficacy. Informally, as a duped citizen I pledged allegiance to its flag, until I realized that I had never legally consented to the terms and conditions specified in State or National charters. Therefore, all assertions by their representatives are baseless and without efficacy with regard to my person, property, association, conscience, or futurity. As a citizen such allegiance is assenting to forced fraternity, unity, organization, and association. This is of exceeding significance, for the Constitution of the Federal Republic which it created, and which superseded the Confederacy of States preceding it, not only dissolved that “United States” to be then incorporated into a Republic, but it specifically REMOVES by edict several individual powers presumed to be inalienable by Declaration! These two facts escape the cognition of virtually every citizen. Joe Biden and Anthony Fouci in similitude of George Washington, have all asserted that every American citizen must surrender a portion of their Sovereign Rights for the good of the Federal Republic. Bolshevism 2.0.

Liberty requires no ideology. It requires no system. It only requires a simple moral code: get permission to be involved in the affairs of others. If the citizens of the American Federation want to live by the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence, they will have to abandon the experiment of the Federal Constitution, and create a Union founded on preserving individual Rights integral to such Union. It must be a Union of strict negatives declaring what no person nor group of persons in any form may do to infringe upon inalienable Rights. Simple laws to that effect, and the punishment for their transgression while maintaining the Rights of the transgressor are all that is necessary to secure Liberty, remove Injustice, and allow all to flourish therein.

“The practical difficulty with our government has been, that most of those who have administered it, have taken it for granted that the Constitution, as it is written, was a thing of no importance; that it neither said what it meant, nor meant what it said; that it was gotten up by swindlers, (as many of its authors doubtless were,) who said a great many good things, which they did not mean, and meant a great many bad things, which they dared not say; that these men, under the false pretence of a government resting on the consent of the whole people, designed to entrap them into a government of a part; who should be powerful and fraudulent enough to cheat the weaker portion out of all the good things that were said, but not meant, and subject them to all the bad things that were meant, but not said. And most of those who have administered the government, have assumed that all these swindling intentions were to be carried into effect, in the place of the written Constitution.”

“These classes [industrialist/trader vs farmer/debtor] aimed at bringing in the British system of economics, politics and judicial control, on a nation-wide scale; and the interests grouped in the second division saw that what this would really come to was a shifting of the incidence of economic exploitation upon themselves. They had an impressive object-lesson in the immediate shift that took place in Massachusetts after the adoption of John Adams's local constitution of 1780. They naturally did not care to see this sort of thing put into operation on a nation-wide scale, and they therefore looked with extreme disfavour upon any bait put forth for amending the Articles out of existence. When Hamilton, in 1780, objected to the Articles in the form in which they were proposed for adoption, and proposed the calling of a constitutional convention instead, they turned the cold shoulder; as they did again to Washington's letter to the local governors three years later, in which he adverted to the need of a strong coercive central authority.” p77 Our Enemy, the State

“The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all.” p3 The Law

By “stupid greed and false philanthropy….the law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.” P4 The Law

“It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.” P6 The Law

“The aim of an arbitrary system is to destroy the civil rights of the whole population, who ultimately become just as outlawed in their own country as the stateless and homeless. The destruction of a man’s rights, the killing of the juridical person in him, is a prerequisite for dominating him entirely. And this applies not only to special categories such as criminals, political opponents, Jews, homosexuals, on whom the early experiments were made, but to every inhabitant of a totalitarian state.” P422 Origin of Totalitarianism


“After murder of the moral person and annihilation of the juridical person, the destruction of the individuality is almost always successful. Conceivably some laws of mass psychology may be found to explain why millions of human beings allowed themselves to be marched unresistingly into the gas chambers, although these laws would explain nothing else but the destruction of individuality. It is more significant that those individually condemned to death very seldom attempted to take one of their executioners with them, that there were scarcely any serious revolts, and that even in the moment of liberation there were very few spontaneous massacres of SS men. For to destroy individuality is to destroy spontaneity, man's power to begin something new out of his own resources, something that cannot be explained on the basis of reactions to environment and events. Nothing then remains
but ghastly marionettes with human faces, which all behave like the dog tion, are reliably dominated in every aspect of their life. In the realm of foreign affairs new neutral territories must constantly be subjugated, while at home ever-new human groups must be mastered in expanding concentration
camps, or, when circumstances require, liquidated to make room for others. The question of opposition is unimportant both in foreign and domestic affairs. Any neutrality, indeed any spontaneously given friendship, is from the standpoint of totalitarian domination just as dangerous as open hostility, precisely because spontaneity as such, with its incalculability, is the greatest of all obstacles to total domination over man.” Pp427-428 Origin of Totalitarianism
