BILL OF RIGHTS
The first 10 Amendments known as the Bill of Rights were ratified in 1791.
The "majestic generalities" of the first 10 Amendments reserve to the people or to the states powers not delegated to the Federal Government. None of these rights would be considered absolute. For instance, Mormons cannot "lawfully" extend freedom of religion to practicing polygamy, which would be against the laws of the whole.
In 1962 and 1963 the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the practice of requiring children to say prayers and read the Bible in schools.
AMENDMENT 1
FREEDOM OF RELIGION, SPEECH, AND THE PRESS; RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. *[The 14th Amendment has been construed to extend to the states the prohibitions of the 1st Amendment.]
AMENDMENT 2
RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. *(Please consider this most carefully. You the people are on the edge of having this Constitutional right buried forever. Arms do not kill people--people kill people. More people die of auto accidents attributed to alcohol consumption than even think of dying of guns lying in the closet in case of defense. Or, why do you not ban the butcher's knife from the kitchen and slice your meat with a fork? More kitchen knives kill domestic families than do guns! If you as a people do not begin to think in perspective, you will be rendered helpless and only the conspirator slave-masters and hardened criminals will have the weapons. You will have set up your own demise in an effort to control an element which cannot be controlled by such means. I shall be giving quite a dissertation on each of these "Bills of Rights", lest you have forgotten what freedom IS!]
AMENDMENT 3
QUARTERING OF TROOPS.
No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. *[This Amendment was drawn because the British had forced colonists to take soldiers into their homes and board them. The first case to raise a real issue under this Amendment came in the early 1980s, in connection with the housing of riot-busting National Guardsmen in Sing Sing Prison, in the state of New York. That was not so long ago--how many remember it?]
AMENDMENT 4
LIMITING THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. *[The 4th Amendment protects people, not places; it does not outlaw searches. Privacy--"the right most valued by civilized men" has been implied by judicial decision. Herein is one of the most flagrantly interpreted laws of all. This is the way in which laws are "rewritten" without any realization on the part of the people; simply change a word here or there and act "as if' it were law. You have no privacy remaining and you are not safe from search and seizure in any present circumstance. I suggest that if you desire privacy that you get PRIVACY IN THE FISHBOWL and study it most carefully.]
AMENDMENT 5
GUARANTY OF TRIAL BY JURY; PRIVATE PROPERTY TO BE RESPECTED.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without Just compensation. *[A restraint on the Federal government; in the 14th Amendment, it is a restraint upon state governments. In addition, insistent demands for still more assurance of the jury over the judiciary led to the 6th and 7th Amendments. Well, chelas, you have allowed this entire Amendment to go by the wayside. There is practically NO JUSTICE IN YOUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. Ah, but you say, it is STILL the best in the world? No it is not; it is totally corrupted and there is no justice to be found. Even that which appears to be just--is “fixed”. This is the full intent of the Zionists and you have fallen into the entrapment and it will devour you. So be it.]
AMENDMENT 6
RIGHTS OF ACCUSED PERSONS.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which districts shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. * [Let me example the heinous and total disregard for this entire Amendment. You have practically no law of the "common" variety. All imposed upon you are but Admiralty execution at the hands of the Judge. Let us consider the case of Oberli's dwelling which has some more than $200,000 at stake. The entire story will be given when we get to the Judicial System, however, for reference this will suffice. Thus far it has required two years and over $80,000 in legal costs to these ones and they have not been able to even precipitate a hearing before the Judge (who is running for office again in two weeks) much less even be considered for a jury hearing. The full intent is to simply run the citizens out of funds and capture the property for the bank.
Oberli, please see to it that Dharma's letter to the paper be placed in this placement so that our readers are not completely without reference. I intend to detail this case later for it is something that could touch any of you. This activity will become more rampant as the S&Ls and Banks fold and then begin to rape the economy and “you the people".]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WHAT BECAME OF JUSTICE AND THE CONSTITUTION? Briefly: On May 24, 1988 there was to have been a public auction "for our property" due to foreclosure of prior owners (we have a land contract). Santa Barbara Savings carried the note and suggested we clear title by re-buying at the auction. Then began the nightmare. We went to the sale with money in hand and rapture in the heart for "today we would own our home"; THERE WAS NO SALE! Witnesses of the NO-SALE (at City Hall) were the Bakersfield City Clerk and the City Treasurer. Both attended three ensuing court sessions in the Mojave Court wherein the case was never "heard" because of "improper paper-work". That began two years and some eight court actions ago, plus over $80,000 to us in legal costs. (To re-offer the sale would have cost less than $500, but SBS refused.)
In court I asked, "How does a person obtain justice?" Mr. Brent politely explained that we should get a lawyer! (over the New Year's week-end!) In some five sessions we have never been allowed to speak nor have our witnesses been heard. We got attorneys--neither were they heard. At our last encounter Judge Brent came to the bench stating he had "made up his mind" and refused to hear our attorney's argument as he "didn't want any more facts". He said we were "dead-beats trying to rip-off SBS" and stated he wouldn't allow the case to go further because if SBS won "they wouldn't get a penny from Ekkers". Funny thing--the audio tape of the session in court has mysteriously disappeared; but the courtroom was full of people who witnessed the personal insults. A Superior court judge temporarily set aside Brent's ruling to allow us to rent the property by paying $1,500 per month plus taxes and insurance while we await appeal, which could take as long as two to four years in Superior Court.
Two weeks ago we attended a debate between Brent and John Quinlen, the opposing candidate for Municipal Court Judge. Brent looked directly at us and said he hadn't ever had a case overturned. I guess not if court records are consistently "lost". Where is justice? If we win the appeal of Brent's ruling we can expect at least 4 more sessions at some $5-$10,000 each! April's legal bill was $9,500. Once you are in "the system" you completely lose control of your costs.
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CONSTITUTION--OUR BILL OF RIGHTS? MENTION "CONSTITUTION" AND YOU ARE PRACTICALLY CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT! Even our own attorneys snicker at the word.
Judge Brent uses as campaign rhetoric that he was a member of Stallion Springs CSD and feeds the wild coons and foxes; offering that as proof of caring community participation. Well, Mr. Ekker is President of the Golden Hills POA and we have a wildlife sanctuary in our back area and also raise birds in a permanent aviary. Where do you put breeding birds when you are evicted? SBS is history--what do we do now? Does anyone actually believe we will get justice from a seized S&L who gave its top executives large raises just prior to seizure--in fact, precipitating seizure?
Our personal problem is not the point. THE CONSTITUTION IS THAT WHICH IS THE POINT. I am author of the internationally recognized PHOENIX JOURNALS and have published 13 books. I am now writing RAPE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND DEATH OF JUSTICE. Ones ask if I am not afraid to confront the system and "God" Brent? Yes, frankly I am terrified! But you see, I have EVERYTHING TO LOSE IF I DO NOT! IF WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE A STAND FOR OUR CONSTITUTION WE ARE DESTINED TO PERISH AS A FREE NATION. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS ALL BUT DEAD AND YOU, DEAR NEIGHBOR, MAY VERY WELL BE THE NEXT CAUGHT IN THE INVISIBLE TRAP. CONSIDER YOUR VOTE MOST CAREFULLY. IF WE ALLOW OUR FREEDOMS TO BE STOLEN FROM US THEN WE DESERVE THAT WHICH BEFALLS US.
"DHARMA" EKKER
AMENDMENT 7
RULES OF THE COMMON LAW
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of common law. *[“We the people" (back in those days) demanded assurance that the jury was stronger than the judiciary--wouldn't it be nice to return to that condition? You can, you know.]
AMENDMENT 8
EXCESSIVE BAIL, FINES AND PUNISHMENT PROHIBITED.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. *[I suppose you have come a ways, my friends, as in the 1780s they included quartering and burning at the stake. Interestingly enough, your first prison was established by the Quakers in Philadelphia. They believed a prison sentence could reform criminals. Unfortunately, the worst criminals of your day are right in your government and police.]
AMENDMENT 9
RIGHTS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE.
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. *[The Constitution did not pretend to have listed all the specific rights of the people. The 9th and 10th Amendments are a guarantee of federalism. Article 2 of the Articles of Confederation had provided: "Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence and every power, jurisdiction and right. . .not. . .expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled."]
AMENDMENT 10
POWERS RESERVED TO STATES AND PEOPLE.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
*[This Amendment, of paramount importance, limits the Federal government to certain powers. It was framed in order to allow states jurisdiction of citizens in its area. The unfortunate thing is that in the new interpretations the laws are manipulated to suit the interests of the controllers involved, i.e., IRS, Military, Judicial sessions, etc.]
THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY 16 AMENDMENTS
SINCE 1791
*[By the way, simply writing a new Amendment does not dissolve that which came before. To REPEAL that which comes prior to an Amendment, there MUST BE A SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENT STATING THE REPEAL THEREOF. THIS ONE FACTOR CAUSES YOUR INCOME TAX LAWS PRACTICED UPON YOU THE PEOPLE, TO BE TOTALLY AND UNERRINGLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UNLAWFUL. YES, I SHALL SPEAK AT LENGTH REGARDING THIS SUBJECT AND SHALL ENJOY IT WITH GREAT GUSTO. REMEMBER, "LAME DUCKS", IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP YOU ARE "DEAD DUCKS"'!]
AMENDMENT 11
LIMITING THE POWERS OF FEDERAL COURTS.
The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state. *[This is the only amendment that concerns the judicial branch of the Federal government; these cases are tried now only in state courts. The 11th modifies Article 3, Section 2, Paragraph 1. It was a purely political Amendment introduced the day after the Court had ruled that a citizen of one state had the right to sue another state.]
AMENDMENT 12
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
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 government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;--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;--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 make 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, *[The "lame duck" clause was superseded by Section 3 of the 20th Amendment.] then the Vice President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice President, shall be the Vice President, if such a 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.
AMENDMENT 13
SLAVERY ABOLISHED.
Section I. Abolition of Slavery.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Enforcement.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
AMENDMENT 14
CITIZENSHIP DEFINED
Section 1. Definition of Citizenship.
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; *[Pay attention here; this was originally intended for the protection of Negroes, THIS CLAUSE HAS BEEN USED BY CORPORATIONS TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY. A CORPORATION IS A "PERSON" IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. Unless the due process clause is construed to include the most important parts of the first eight Amendments, the states would be free, in theory, to establish an official church or to inflict cruel and unusual punishment. The Reagan Administration has argued that the 14th Amendment cannot be used to make the Bill of Rights binding on state governments.] nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Apportionment of Representatives.
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, *[This was never enforced, it became moot in the 1960s when the voting rights laws became effective.] 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 *[Only use of "male" in your Constitution.] citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. *[Changed by Section 1 of the 26th Amendment.]
Section 3. Disability Resulting from, Insurrection.
No person shall be a Senator of Representative in Congress, or Elector of President and Vice President, of 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. *[No voting requirement was established. The states set terms by which people became qualified to vote. Sections 3 and 4 of the 14th Amendment are now obsolete. Who said? How did that "just" happen?]
Section 4. Public Debt of the United States Valid; Confederate Debt Void.
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. *[How interesting--you do it all the time and every day, from one corner of your globe to the other. You go further in that you not only incur the debts but pay dearly and supply the very essential arms to be used against you!]
Section 5. Enforcement.
The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article.
AMENDMENT 15
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
Section 1. The Suffrage.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. Enforcement.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. *[Now let us look at the assumptions and critical beginnings of writing exactly what you want and ignoring intent. The 15th Amendment was necessary because the Supreme Court alone cannot always protect rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Blacks must not be deprived of the ballot because of their race or because they were slaves but some states very quickly found establishment of grounds to deny them the vote. From 1820, when Maine separated from Massachusetts and joined the Union as a free state to counter slave-state Missouri, until after the Civil War, every new state denied the vote to free blacks. Only the three Reconstruction Amendments (13, 14, and 15) had numbers assigned to them at the time of ratification. This is only important in that by simply referring to numbers, the public is too lazy to become informed and therefore, all manner of changes can be made without attention. It was not until 1879 that it was established that Native Americans were protected by the Constitution. Aren't humans nice beings?]
NOW FOR THE BIGGIE:
AMENDMENT 16
INCOME TAX. *[YOU HAD BETTER GET YOUR MAGNIFYING GLASS!)
*[This was the first new Amendment in over 40 years. It made the income tax legal, so they said. An individual subsequently would be taxed according to the size of his income rather than according to the population of the state in which he happened to live. Legal? Of course! Lawful? No! for there was never rescinding of anything written before and there were no legal ways to enforce the non-law. This is a prime example of law by assumption--"they" pronounce a law which neither fits Constitutionally nor does it have truth and yet you all flow alone like the sheep to the slaughter door and do so without question. I have previously written on this matter and shall again, at great in-depth perspective but the actions are up to you the people.]
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. *[Dear ones, there are at least four things right off the top which renders this Amendment unlawful. I will give you one herein that you can do some homework. The history books will tell you that on February 3, 1913 the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Three-fourths of the states--the number required by the Constitution--approved the proposed amendment, you are told, and the "progressive" individual "income tax" was set in place.
However, buried in the National Archives is an interesting document--hidden until recently, for lo these many years. This document shows, beyond question or argument, that, in fact, the income tax amendment was NEVER CONSTITUTIONALLY RATIFIED--THAT THE 16TH AMENDMENT IS WHAT SOME ARE NOW CALLING A "LAW THAT NEVER WAS". The IRS is/was a private corporation with no authority what-so-ever to collect anything and on and on and on--and even if it had been ratified there is no Amendment dissolving any Constitutional statement prior to the 16th. Is it possible that you as a nation full of sleepy people were HAD? Oh, you say, "Well, who would support the government if you didn't pay income taxes?" Do you like supporting the government which gives you all your nice freedoms? Further, are you aware that personal income taxes only go toward the "debt"? Also, may I remind you that you work almost half a year to pay your personal taxes, and nothing more? So be it! You shall have it exactly like you want it to be--robbed at the point of a gun in the hands of the 'justice" system and the law enforcers. Of course the government doesn't want you to know these things. It can be obtained from Liberty Library: THE INCOME TAX AMENDMENT IS NULL AND VOID.
300 Independence Ave. SE Washington D.C. 20003. Begin now to do your homework for I am going to lay a lot more on you.
AMENDMENT 17
DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS.
a. Election by the people. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
b. Vacancies. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided that the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
c. Not retroactive. This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.
AMENDMENT 18
NATIONAL PROHIBITION. *(Herein we can point out the proper way in which Amendments are passed and rescinded. The 18th Amendment was passed in 1919 and repealed by Amendment 21 in 1933. There is no such repeal of tax laws prior to Amendment 16 by comparison.]
Section 1. Prohibition of Intoxicating Liquors.
After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.*[Underlined because it was repealed by the 21st Amendment.]

Section 3. Sessions of Congress.
If at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of this term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
Section 4. Choice of President by the House.
The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President, whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.

But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

leave this portion as we have placed to document the Constitution and Amendments as written.
Our next thrust is to share with you readers the proposed redefinition of the United States into 10 segments, called Newstates, and the proposed Constitution which has already been largely placed into law by assumption without due process of anything except conspiratorial force and deception.
Salu,
Hatonn to clear, please.
