FROM PHOENIX JOURNAL #67, "THE BEAST AT WORK',  PAGES 183-199.

Let us now take a look at the Constitution for the NEWSTATES OF AMERICA.

 

In 1964, the writing of a new constitution for America began, at a tax-exempt foundation with the misleading name, Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions.

 

The people who took it upon themselves to write this new constitution on your behalf were, of course, not elected representatives, or in any other way your representatives. As a tax-ex­empt foundation, they were able to do political work on what amounts to a subsidy taken from your taxes, but you were never asked if you wanted a new constitution written. Indeed, only a very tiny fraction of the people of the United States even know, today, that it exists; it has been made known to practically no one except a select category of influential Elitist people whose views and interest generally coincide with those of the people who wrote it. The American people as a whole are absolutely ignorant of its existence. This is deliberate. This is a "secret" constitution--but already in use AGAINST YOU-THE-PEOPLE.

 

It took some ten years to write this model constitution. A pre­liminary version was published in 1970 and some of you patriots who object to it will recognize the title and author: THE EMERGING CONSTITUTION by Rexford G. Tugwell, the man who directed the formulation of the new constitution. By the way, during the writing of this "secret" constitution that Center for the Study of Democratic Institution was very lavishly funded with over two and a half MILLION dollars a year.

 

To appreciate the document--we will effort to offer you some commentary and review and you will forgive me if I fail to al­ways at every paragraph mention the speakers. Tugwell's book, by the way, was published by Harper & Row and sells for about $20.

 

We will write on a section and then append comments and ob­servations.

 

A PROPOSED CONSTITUTION MODEL FOR THE

NEWSTATES OF AMERICA PREAMBLE

 

So that we may join in common endeavors, welcome the future in good order, and create an adequate and self-repairing gov­ernment--we, the people, do establish the Newstates of Amer­ica, herein provided to be ours, and do ordain this Constitution whose supreme law it shall be until the time prescribed for it shall have run.

 

COMMENTS: This new constitution would replace the present U.S. Constitution and would dissolve the States as you know them into Newstates, "each comprising no less than 5 percent of the whole population". This new constitution is, in itself, a ve­hicle for the transition from your proven, tried and true, di­vinely-ordained Constitution with its Bill of Rights Amend­ments, to the New World Order that man, in his own efforts, hopes to impose upon mankind--and basically has already accomplished at this writing.

 

The first eight words of the "preamble" clearly spell out all of the above. "so that we may join in common endeavors" as­sumes that everyone wants to support their endeavors to destroy America's sovereignty, states' rights and the individual's God-given liberty and freedom. Should this be accomplished, the states would be abolished in favor of regions known as "newstates". By their assumption, the initiative is taken and the momentum gained.

 

The "common endeavors" in this case is the destruction of your U.S. Constitution so as to replace it with a dictatorship. The new would have the form and appearance of the old but there the similarity ends. The Newstates of America Constitution is merely a form of the old in order to pacify those still remem­bering the liberty that it guaranteed. The New Constitution is a bridge, a part of the hopefully peaceful transition from a Con­stitutional Republic to an oligarchic world dictatorship. THE MERE FACT THAT THIS NEW CONSTITUTION IS TO BE IN EFFECT FOR ONLY 25 YEARS AND THAT MANY OP­PORTUNITIES ARE PROVIDED TO REVISE AND REWRITE IT IN THOSE YEARS--INDICATES THE ROLE OF TRANSITION.

 

Yes, you will find in Article XI, Section 2 it declares: "When this Constitution shall have been in effect for twenty-five years the Overseer shall ask, by referendum, whether a new Constitu­tion shall be prepared". And should those in power be defeated in the case of amending their new constitution, they won't take no for an answer. To quote Article XI, Section I: "If rejected (that which they proposed), it may be restudied and a new proposal submitted". So it is not possible for the people to totally reject that which the appointed Principal Justice and that which the appointed Senate proposes.

 

You will note that the word "emergency" will appear frequently in the proposed Constitution but is never mentioned in Your U.S. Constitution. Consequently, an "emergency" is used to impose new dictates--which could only be accomplished at the expense of the U.S. citizen's liberty. Keep your eyes open as we go along.

 

Read again the "preamble":

1. It welcomes the future "in good order". Just what does that actually mean?

2. "To create an adequate and self-repairing Government". If your present Government needs some minor repairing, why not carefully consider the matter for possible improvement? Why even consider a new form of Government that might be "self-repairing"--by command coming from a DICTATOR? Why change the entire form of a highly successful Government for free people to one controlled by iron-clad Dictatorship?

 

Note, "We, the people, do establish the Newstates of America, herein provided to be ours... " What would you have then? What, in contrast to that which you have, now? Today, you have a noble document, even if teetering on the edge of extinc­tion, far, far removed from a "Concensus for Collectivism"--a DANGEROUS PHRASE which you will hear from Internationally-influenced speakers in their efforts to further the aims of the super-rich Corporate Socialists and Bankers! The emphasis in the Preamble, and throughout, is to favor BIG GOVERNMENT and down-grade The People! This is the complete reverse of your own Constitution which you are selling out.

There is hardly enough time and space to adequately cover the comments applicable to these sections, but briefly:

 

[The comments which will be utilized are offered by Col. Curtis B. Dall. He speaks as an aroused layman who will emphasize "key points" for you who are unsuspecting, and, therefore, unalerted,--those who find it hard to believe that a few wealthy, politically-perverted-minded individuals, and their well-kept stooges, would stoop so low as to stick a knife in the back of their fellow-Americans and attempt to destroy the fruits of 200 years of struggle and great achievement! A struggle for the advancement and well-being of Free Men, in your enlightened, Constitutional Republic! I thank both Col. Dall for his observations and E. Stanley Rittenhouse who together offer this document. I would guess from the formatting that the original document can be obtained through Liberty Library without my cluttering rearrange­ment of sequence, etc. It simply seems to me that you need to attend a few comments AS YOU READ THE DOCU­MENT SEGMENTS. We shall then offer their "summary" in full.]

 

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Article I. "A": Rights.

            S.1. Note the glaring "exception". WHO is to define "the emergency"?

            S.2.      Another "exception!"          Also note the word,

"Privileged"!

            S.3. Very vague, but very carefully phrased.

            S.4. No comment.

            S.5. The Court of Rights and Responsibilities"? can decide whether or not YOU have been guilty of "discrimination"--THIS IS HARASSMENT IF NOTHING MORE.

            S.6. WHAT determines "eligibility"?

            S.7. No comment.

            S.8. "The practice of religion shall be privileged"--a very dangerous statement! This could totally deny your present Constitutional Right to the "free exercise thereof".

            S.9. No comment.

            S.10. Note "National Sharing Fund"(??) How about that for a good gimmick?

            S.11. WHO is to define the "appropriate tests of eligibility" FOR EDUCATION?

            S.12. In referring to "compensation", the word, "just", is flagrantly omitted.

A serious and very ominous omission!

            S.13 & 14: No comment.

            S.15. WHO is to declare the "emergency"?

            S.16. This appears quite "involved" in that it coddles crimi­nals while, I'm sure, restricts innocent parties.

 

Article I, "B": Responsibilities.

[C: Some sections will be left out and to save time we ask you to assume no special comment. There is no reason to go through this exercise for the obvious is so glaring that it needs no added attention, I would hope.]

            S.1. "A corresponding responsibility" is vague, and is obvi­ously quite dangerous as it corresponds to "what"?

            S.2. Contains obvious Socialistic overtones.

            S.4. Very vague! Also, note the word, "shall". "Shall" is a command!

            S.6. "Fairness to all"--sounds nice but has no offered foun­dation upon which to use the term.

            S.8. Citizens shall be deprived of their ARMS. This is the age-old "gag" of all tyrants; their favorite technique, to first deprive all law-abiding citizens of their means of protection for assault. This section is clever, slick and extremely dangerous!!*!*!

            S.11. Aimed to "muzzle" Retired Officers of the Armed Forces! Why would they want to do THAT? Ask any old HONEST retired officer!

 

ARTICLE II

THE NEWSTATES

 

            SECTION 1. There shall be Newstates, each comprising no less than 5 percent of the whole population. Existing states may continue and may have the status of Newstates if the Boundary Commission, hereinafter provided, shall so decide. The Com­mission shall be guided in its recommendations by the probability of accommodation to the conditions for effective govern­ment. States electing by referendum to continue if the Commis­sion recommends otherwise shall nevertheless accept all New-state obligations.

            SECTION 2. The Newstates shall have constitutions formu­lated and adopted by processes hereinafter prescribed.

            SECTION 3. They shall have Governors; legislatures, and planning, administrative and judicial systems.

            SECTION 5. The electoral apparatus of the Newstates of America shall be available to them, and they may be allotted funds under rules agreed to by the national Overseer; but ex­penditures may not be made by or for any candidate except they be approved by the Overseer; and requirements of residence in a voting district shall be no longer than thirty days.

            SECTION 6. They may charter subsidiary governments, ur­ban or rural, and may delegate to them powers appropriate to their responsibilities.

            SECTION 7. They may lay, or may delegate the laying of, taxes; but these shall conform to the restraints stated hereinafter for the Newstates of America; but the objects appropriate for taxation shall be clearly designated.

            SECTION 9. Taxes on land may be at higher rates than those on its improvements.

            SECTION 10. They shall be responsible for the administra­tion of public services not reserved to the government of the Newstates of America, such activities being concerted with those of corresponding national agencies, where these exist, under arrangements common to all.

            SECTION 11. The rights and responsibilities prescribed in this Constitution shall be effective in the Newstates and shall be suspended only in emergency when declared by Governors and not disapproved by the Senate of the Newstates of America.

            SECTION 12. Police powers of the Newstates shall extend to all matters not reserved to the Newstates of America; but pre­empted powers shall not be impaired.

            SECTION 13. Newstates may not enter into any treaty, al­liance, confederation, or agreement unless approved by the Boundary Commission hereinafter provided.

            They may not coin money, provide for the payment of debts in any but legal tender, or make any charge for inter-Newstate services. They may not enact ex post facto laws or ones im­pairing the obligation of contracts.

            SECTION 14. Newstates may not impose barriers to imports from other jurisdictions or impose any hindrance to citizens' freedom of movement.

            SECTION 15. If governments of the Newstates fail to carry out fully their constitutional duties, their officials shall be warned and may be required by the Senate, on the recommenda­tion of the Watchkeeper, to forfeit revenues from the Newstates of America.

 

[C: I hear you, readers, you think I'm giving you a "big whammy" JOKE. Oh don't I wish! THIS IS THE "REAL STUFF", CITIZENS! THIS IS ALREADY IN PRACTICAL APPLICATION AS THE SET OF  RULES UTILIZED RIGHT NOW (CALLED BY DIFFERENT NAMES TO FOOL YOU). This is THE Constitution to serve as interim management for the transition to the One World Order Dic­tatorship and integration into the Global Government through the United Nations top Elite. It is about as far from a JOKE as I can possibly imagine this afternoon.]

 

COMMENTS:

 

Article II. "The Newstates".

            S.1. "There shall be Newstates"--This is very subversive, inflammatory and Communistic! Note "The Boundary Commis­sion" and its extensive proposed powers "to decide". "This is complete Regimentation! Incredible!

            S.2. NO!

            S.3. NO! Too much "planning" (to submerge the individ­ual!)

            S.4. Note "electoral OVERSEER".

            S.8. Dangerous for American Labor; carries a strong politi­cal note to boost trade with communist countries, particularly the Soviet Union! Looks like a Corporate Socialist, such as Nelson Rockefeller, had a strong hand in shaping THIS one.

            S.11. So-called "States Rights" are subject to "Emergency" rulings by the Governors, with the approval of the Senate of the Newstates of America, so all States' Rights hang on a very slender thread! Hence, they are down-graded.

            S.12. Dangerous...Suggests a Police State!

            S.13. Again, "The Boundary Commission" appears, with firm control over the "Newstates".

            S.15. Looks very much like a Police State set up! A club over the "Newstates" wielded by the "Watchkeeper".

 

[C: If you aren't trembling in your boots--then you ARE NOT ALIVE! I repeat: "This is ALREADY being practiced as Martial law, "districts", IRS, etc. Let us go on through Article III and close this segment, please.]

[C: Is anyone nervous about WHO this "Overseer" might be? How about the "Watchkeeper"--and, how about that "President" but those plural "Vice-Presidents"? Sounds like to me you are moving right into the pit with the viper himself--maybe the Overseer is the "right hand of Satan" and the "Watchkeeper" the "left"?]

 

COMMENTS:

 

Article III. The Electoral Branch

            S.1. This is something new, for greater control over the people.

            S.2. Here comes the "Overseer"!

            S.4. Note, "Recognitions by the Overseer"!

            S.5. More "Overseer" stuff ... not overlooking the "Planning Branch"!

            S.7&8. MORE OF THE SAME.

            S.11. "Expenses of the Electoral Branch" to be met by an added 1% to the net taxable income of taxpayers ... for disposition by the OVERSEER. WHAT IS A POLICE STATE?

 

Secretary, enough, I see that you are exhausted as we put in these dawn to dark days without letup--but, chela--it is such a critical time for your nation and your freedom as citizens that I cannot bear not to offer that which we can. Hopefully, these past few editions of CONTACT can be presented at the Las Vegas meeting next week-end. We MUST reach the people or there is not hope.

 

Hayek: "I do not think the cause of liberty will prevail unless our emotions are aroused. But, though the strong instincts on which the struggle for liberty has always nourished itself are an indispensable support, they are neither a safe guide nor a certain protection against error. The same noble sentiments have been mobilized in the service of greatly perverted aims. Still more important, the arguments that have undermined liberty belong mainly to the intellectual sphere, and we must therefore counter them there.

 

AMERICA: IN THE NAME OF GOD--SAVE YOUR CONSTITUTION!!!

Ceres to lay down the pen that you might digest these writings as we move along. Good day.
