This is a Republic, not a Democracy. Let's keep it that way!

What Can We Expect Going Forward?

leave a comment »


In trying to assess what we might expect going forward I have been familiarizing myself with some of the post civil war amendments. Why? It is clear that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has infiltrated our government. We need only look at the Hunter Biden Laptop for evidence. Social media is full of images of heads of state, military officers, state officials etc who have been cultivating relationships with the CCP. Add to that the CCP ownership in the electronic voting systems that we are using. How many state level officials were compromised during the process of installing these systems?

Pay close attention to the “red” text of the 14th amendment and consider the possibilities. My comments in [ ]. I draw no conclusion, nor do I suggest what may happen, however, these sections of the Constitution could come into play.

AMENDMENT XIV

Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

[Don’t the lock-downs fall into this provision? How about the election laws in PA which were actually color of law provisions?]

Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
[What does this do to PA Electors? MI, GA, WI, AZ, etc?]

Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
[Does this apply to Biden & Harris? How many others?]

Section 4.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
[Would this cover our entire national debt which was facilitated by a private central bank which has effectively conquered our nation?]

Section 5.

The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. *Changed by section 1 of the 26th amendment.
Also Consider: Article II Section 2 paragraph 3 The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
[ Are there Senators involved in insurrection? They recess on Dec 20, according to their calendar. ]

How To Constitutionally Elect A President

with 2 comments


Electing a President

If we hope to correct the obvious fraud and corruption which has occurred in the recent general elections it is important to separate the presidential election results from the remainder of the races.  There are deadlines that the media will remind the people about and they will argue that those dates are in stone. This is debatable. The remainder of the races can be settled independently of the presidential race. The US Constitution is key to determining the president and we must rely upon it in order to have confidence that our next president is duly elected. Article II tells us what role the state legislature plays and what role the Congress plays. Note: no other bodies have a role. Not the media, not the Courts, etc.

The role of the State Legislatures

Each state chooses their electors. In the modern era, the states have determined the manner of choosing electors via a general election (Nov 3, 2020), however, this is done via state statutes in each of the states. Some have codified these statutes into their Constitutions. We must remember, however, that the constitutions and laws of the states are subservient to the US Constitution (see Article VI). Therefore, the power of the State Legislature to determine the manner of choosing electors is superior to state Constitutions and state laws and may be reclaimed especially in cases of fraud or where their own laws establishing the manner of choosing electors has not been followed.

Article II Section 1

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The role of Congress

The congress, in order to fulfill their duty to establish a uniform time of choosing electors has established two federal statutes:

According to federal law (3 U.S. Code § 5) known as the safe harbor provision, a state must determine its electors six days before the Electoral College members meet in person. – [Dec. 8, 2020]

According to federal law (3 USC Code § 7) The electors of President and Vice President of each State shall meet and give their votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct. [Dec 14, 2020]

Unlike constitutional provisions, federal law can be altered in Congress. Therefore these dates are not in stone, if the Congress chooses to change them.

Article II Section 1

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

The Constitutional provisions above cannot change except via the amendment process spelled out in Article V. The above provisions have not changed, however certain other provisions of Article II are superseded by the 12th Amendment. Everything that happened during the general election with regard to the presidential race was an attempt to comply with states’ role in Article II Section I. If a state decides that the general election did not fulfill this provision, it is free to discard the results and fulfill the provision itself by simply choosing electors, which electors are free to cast votes for anyone they wish: Trump, Biden, Clinton, you, me, etc. as long as their president and vice presidential choice are not both residents of their home state. These electors vote independently from one another.

Amendment XII

The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

Determining the Election Result

At a time appointed by federal statute (another date that can move), a joint session of Congress reviews the results of the individual state electors’ lists and counts the votes. Currently, the total number of electors is 538. If some states fail to send electors or others are disqualified by the Congress, this number could drop, but it will not increase unless new states are admitted to the union in the future. The winner must have a majority of electors.

Amendment XII

 — The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

What if there is no Majority winner?

If the Electoral College votes are inconclusive, The House resolves the Presidential contest and the Senate resolves the Vice Presidential contest (remember: The VP is the president of the Senate). The top three vote-getters are considered for president and the top two vote-getters are considered for vice-president. The presidential candidate is determined in the House by one vote per state, and the vice president is determined by a vote of all the Senators. The president requires 26 votes, the vice president requires 51 votes. At least two-thirds of the states must be represented in the House and two-thirds of the Senators must be present to conduct the elections.

Amendment XII: The president determined in the House

— The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.

Amendment XII: The Vice President determined in the Senate

— The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

When the states, uniformly decided to allow for general election as “the manner of choosing electors” the Political Parties usurped much of their power. Political Parties created the Presidential ticket which tied the President and Vice President together. They also proposed the idea of dedicated electors, which initiated the idea of candidates receiving electoral votes in blocks by state. Prior to these inventions, it would have been very difficult for one person to receive, for example, all fifty-five votes from the California Electoral College. They also established the primary system and the convention process. All of these concepts are fine, in themselves, however, the states are not bound by the Constitution to any of these mechanisms. The media does a disservice to the American people when it frames all the arguments within these convenient, yet artificial mechanisms.

The office of the President was designed to act as the chief ambassador to the world on behalf of the several states which created the Constitution. As their chief representative, the state legislatures were granted the power to choose a president. The House of Representatives was designed to be the People’s House, the Senate was designed to be the States’ house and the President was the representative to the World for the several states. This is why the people were never intended to directly elect the Senate or the President. Imagine how much easier it would be to conduct fair and lawful elections if our only concern was focused at the Congressional district level. You can easily see, that there would be no need for computerized voting systems under those circumstances.

Early Record of Joe Biden

leave a comment »


Panama Canal.

On March 16, 1978, and April 18, 1978, Senator Biden voted (respectively) for the Panama Canal “neutrality” and “transfer” treaties which removed the strategic waterway from U.S. ownership and control. Both of these giveaway treaties were passed by two-vote margins.

On July 26, 1979, the Senator voted for legislation required to implement the treaties . Prior to the roll call, the Senate considered a number of important amendments intended to protect the interests of our country. One would have required congressional approval before any U.S.-owned Panama Canal property could be transferred to Panama. Two others would have (1) withheld payments to Panama from Canal revenues unless the U.S. had first been reimbursed for its costs of implementing the 1978 treaties, and (2) withheld such payments if either the President or Congress determined that Panama was directly or indirectly interfering in the affairs of another nation. A fourth proposal would have precluded treaty mandated payments to Panama from Canal revenues if either Congress or our President determined that Panama’s Marxist-oriented regime was directly or indirectly interfering in the affairs of another nation. And, yet another amendment would have authorized the President to take appropriate actions to assure that the Canal remained secure and open, even if it meant overriding actions of the Panama Canal Commission. Senator Biden voted against each of these protective amendments.

On September 25, 1979, the Senate considered the final conference report on the bill to implement the Panama Canal treaties . It was the last opportunity for Senators to vote against the Canal giveaway, but Senator Biden voted for the conference report.

Friends And Foes.

Senator Biden’s record regarding legislation which in various ways assists our nation’s Marxist enemies, while undermining friendly non- or anti-Communist regimes, is disturbing. For instance:

September 27, 1973: Voted to cut off military assistance to South Vietnam and Laos at a time when neither had yet fallen into Communist hands.

May 29, 1974: Voted to kill an amendment intended to deny Export-Import Bank loans or credits to any Communist country.

June 11, 1974: Voted to kill an amendment to authorize the Secretary of Defense (subject to congressional and Presidential review) to halt the export of goods and technology to the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc nations if he determined that such exports would significantly increase the military capability of those countries.

October 1, 1974: Backed an amendment barring funds for military assistance to pro-U.S., anti-Communist Chile.

March 15, 1977: Voted to repeal the Byrd Amendment which had allowed importation of chromium ore from Rhodesia, contrary to the unprecedented  (and unprincipled) United Nations trade sanctions against the anticommunist nation. Today, thanks in large part to those Biden-supported U. N. sanctions, once pro- Western Rhodesia is led by a former terrorist who has moved the country (now called Zimbabwe) into the Marxist camp.

June 14, 1977: Voted to kill an amendment requiring U.S. representatives to international lending · institutions (such as the World Bank) to vote against loans to nations violating human rights and to oppose by voice and vote all loans to .the brutal Marxist regimes presently occupying Cuba, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

July 26, 1978: Voted to kill  an .amendment which would. have reversed a provision adopted in 1977 which requires ·the Secretary of State automatically to approve any application for a non-immigrant visa by a member of a Communist organization seeking to enter the United States of America.

July 31, 1978 : Voted to kill an amendment instructing the U . S . executive director of a proposed new International Monetary Fund facility to oppose loans to nations which provide aid or assistance to international terrorists and aircraft hijackers .

August 10, 1978: Voted to prohibit economic assistance to anti-Communist South Korea under the Food for Peace program.

January ‘ 24, 1980: Voted to grant lucrative Most Favored Nation trading ‘ status to the tyrants of Red China.

January 29, 1980: Voted for a bill to provide $75 million in foreign .aid to the Communist dictatorship in Nicaragua.

November 17, 1981: Voted against an amendment to prohibit foreign aid to Zimbabwe after January 31, 1982,.unless all North Korean military personnel were first removed from that Marxist state.

February 10, 1982: Voted against an amendment which would have prohibited the Commodity Credit Corporation  from ‘ paying debts owed . by Poland to American banks unless the Communist country were first declared to be in default on its loans as required by C.C.C. rules. In consequence, American taxpayers paid $71 million of Poland’s debt so the Communist dictatorship there could go right on borrowing money.

September 23, 1983: Voted to kill an amendment to require the United States to oppose loans by the International Monetary Fund to Communist dictatorships.

April 4, 1984: Voted to delete $21 million in covert aid to the anti-Communist Nicaraguan rebels seeking to free their country from Marxist oppression.

Abortion.

On June 28, 1983, Senator Biden voted against the proposed Constitutional Amendment which sought to overturn the 1973 Supreme Court decision (Roe v. Wade) which legalized abortion in the United States. And, on November 14, 1983, he also voted to scuttle an amendment which sought to make permanent a ban on the federal funding of abortion bar federal insurance coverage to. pay abortionists, encourage states to approve new anti-abortion laws, and grant expedited Supreme Court .review for challenges to new antic abortion laws.

Energy.

On August 2, 1977, Senator Biden voted to establish the Department of Energy, a gargantuan bureaucracy which spends billions each year to stifle energy production through paperwork and regulation, ·yet produces not so much as a drop of oil.

On May 18, 1977, the Senator even voted to kill an amendment which would have at least allowed Congress to review regulations promulgated by the Department and veto those which stifle production.

On November 13, 1973, Senator Biden was one of only five Senators to vote against legislation authorizing immediate construction of the Alaskan pipeline. This in the face of that year’s energy “crisis.” And, one month later (December 14, 1973) , he voted to kill an amendment which would have authorized trucks operating in interstate commerce to transport any property on return trips rather than squander oil by returning empty.

Amnesty And Education For Illegal Aliens: In May of 1983 the Senate approved the controversial Immigration Reform And Control Act which includes, among other things, a potentially disruptive proposal to grant .amnesty to most of the millions of illegal aliens who have shown contempt for our nation’s laws and boundaries, thereby placing them on a path leading toward full Welfare benefits, employment in jobs which could otherwise be filled by unemployed Americans, and eventual citizenship with full voting rights. On May 18, 1983, the Senate debated an amendment which would have eliminated the amnesty provision from the bill. Senator Biden voted against the amendment.

An Easter Question Solved

leave a comment »


Upon receiving a book that referred to Christ suffering on the cross for 6 hours, I questioned the accuracy of that statement. I did a little research to see if the Gospels could validate that statement. On the surface it was not clear right away.

 

It was not until I realized that John had referred to the sentencing in the 6th hour, while Mark referred to the crucifixion in the third hour and Mathew had placed the darkness at the 6th hour that I realized we were dealing with two different clocks.

 

Gospel According to Saint Mark
Chapter 15:25
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

 

Gospel According to Saint John
Chapter 19:14-15
[14] And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.
[15] But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king?
The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.

 

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 27:45-50
[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani?
that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
[47] And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.
[48] And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
[49] And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.
[50] And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

 

Let’s Explain:
Mark and Matthew use the Hebrew Clock.
The Third hour (probably related to sunrise) was 9:00 AM
The Sixth Hour was noon.
The Ninth Hour was 3:00 PM.
John’s 6th hour was using the Roman Clock 6:00 AM
So once again John (being the last Gospel) adds new information.

 

Timeline of Events:
6:00 AM – Jesus is Sentenced
9:00 AM – Jesus is Crucified
12:00 PM – Darkness Covers The Earth
3:00 PM – Christ Delivers Himself

 

The Crucifixion took 6 hours.
Did he hang on the cross for the entire 6 hours?
He most likely hung on the cross for the greater part of 6 hours.
His Scourging most likely took place in the hours before 6:00 AM.
He was presented with the crown of thorns before he was sentenced.
They shuffled Christ back and forth between Pilot and Herod under the cover of darkness.

 

Additional Questions Unanswered
What is the explanation for the 3 hours of darkness?

 

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 27:45; 27:51-54
[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
[51] And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two pieces, from the top even to the
bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent.
[52] And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept, arose.
[53] And they going forth out of the graves after his resurrection, came into the holy city: and appeared to many.
[54] And the Centurion and they that were with him watching JESUS, having seen the
earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

 

Gospel According to Mark
Chapter 15:33; 15:38-39
[33] And when it was the sixth hour, there was made darkness upon the whole earth until the ninth hour.
[38] And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
[39] And the Centurion that stood over against him, seeing that so crying he had given up the ghost, said, In deed this man was the son of God.

 

Gospel According to Luke
Chapter 23:44-48
[44] And it was almost the first hour: and there was made darkness upon the whole earth
until the ninth hour. (Here Luke seems to use the Roman Clock followed by the Hebrew Clock. Very strange indeed.)
[45] And the sun was darkened: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
[46] And JESUS crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
[47] And the Centurion seeing that which was done, glorified God, saying, In deed this
man was just.
[48] And all the multitude of them that were present together at that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned knocking their breasts.

 

One might conclude a natural solar eclipse had occurred. There are problems with this explanation, however. July 16, 2186 is predicted to be the longest solar eclipse ever. It is projected to have a duration of 7 minutes and 29 seconds at one point on the earth. Here we are discussing an eclipse of several hours in length and we are celebrating a feast associated with a full moon. Solar eclipses occur during new moons, not full moons. In addition, the darkness is world wide as opposed to local. It is associated with a great earth quake.

 

This eclipse was seen and wondered at as a thing above nature, of Dionysius Areopagita at Thebes, when he was yet a Pagan. Dionys. ep. ad Polycarp. et. ep. ad Apollophane.

TPA Extension Disapproval Needed Now.

with 3 comments


Let’s Do Away With the TPA!

TPA-Kings-Legislate

Here are 6 reasons why either the House or Senate should pass a TPA extension disapproval resolution (based on William F. Jasper’s article entitled, “7 Reasons Why Trade Promotion Authority/Fast Track Must Be Defeated,” published on TheNewAmerican.com, on June 5, 2015, when the current TPA was being considered by Congress):

  1. TPA is essential to passage of a very dangerous updated NAFTA, the forerunner to an EU-like North American Union (NAU), as well as to the potential passage of other sovereignty-killing “free trade” agreements like TPP, which as of April 12 President Trump is considering rejoining.
  2. TPA is an unconscionable abdication of constitutional responsibility by Congress.
  3. TPA not only hands Trump unconstitutional powers given to Obama, it potentially gives them to his successor as well.
  4. TPA is another giant step in the unconstitutional transfer of congressional authority to the president.
  5. TPA also challenges the Constitution by violating the requirement that treaties be ratified by a super-majority vote of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate.
  6. The TPA will speed the transfer of immense power to federal and international judges to eviscerate the Constitution; to strike down federal, state, and local laws; and to legislate from the bench

Hal Shurtleff, of Camp Constitution, will hold a press conference at which time he will list reasons why every American should be on guard against this fraudulently sold “solution” to what ails America. It’s a solution alright – A final solution to the American problem for the international socialists.

Change It … or Obey It?

leave a comment »


con-con-flyer-2017Change It … or Obey It? Why the Constitution Is the Solution!
Constitutional Scholar Robert Brown will be in the Area during the last week of April 2017. He will examine the movement advancing an Article V “Constitutional” Convention. It’s amazing to see him illustrate how the changes being proposed by Con-Con advocates would actually do the opposite of what is claimed.  So, if you are new to the issue or if you support the Con-con movement, you will want to come out and hear common sense arguments on how to work within the Constitution to rein in a growing Federal Government. Click the Image or here for a 2 page pdf flyer. The flyer includes a hyperlink to the 3 tour locations, youtube intro, Stop A Con-Con Action Agenda Items, and the JBS homepage. Please share widely. Contact me for donations and advertising opportunities.

Here is a sneak peek of Constitutional Scholar Robert Brown Testimony in Montana before the House Judiciary Committee:
