Introduction
Without Wisdom, a person is dumb and blind to danger. Such a danger may be
both impending and catastrophic, but the person will not know it. History has
taught us that this same condition sometimes applies to entire societies. Such
is our society today.
To have discernment and Wisdom in our society, to understand our society and,
if need be, repair and improve it; we must first grasp the basis of its
accord, the Constitution;
why this came about; and where our society stands today.
Throughout history, people have banded together for their common interests of
protection, comfort, and prosperity: to insulate themselves from the ravages
of the wild, where only the law of the jungle prevails—that is, no law at
all.
As societies slowly formed, norms developed, enforced often by shame but
occasionally by ostracism or violence—which, in turn, was judged by
society’s
members. Good and honest people built what we call civilized society, where
peace and prosperity flourished. But criminals, evildoers, and oppressors
damaged civilized society by applying the law of the jungle as they so
desired: robbing, assaulting, and enslaving people.
Over time, mechanisms were developed to protect civilized society against
these plunderers and victimizers. People shared in the tasks and costs of its
defense. A public service was created, composed of public servants, who only
performed roles of protection and justice: these servants did not take nor
diminish the people’s power or authority—nor abridge their freedoms.
Criminals, evildoers, and oppressors, however, learned how gainful it could be
to secretly corrupt and infiltrate the public service. For example, the public
service in some societies assumed the power and authority to govern the
people, placing itself in a superior position. Those who corrupted and
infiltrated such governments, eventually took control of the entire civilized
society: only to systematically abuse it, subvert its internal defenses, and
then utterly ravage it. The death toll would sometimes reach into the tens of
millions of people…
By the time of our Declaration
of Independence and our Constitution, a new vision of civilized society
had come into focus: a vision of maximizing people’s individual Rights
and Freedoms, of creating equal Justice for all, and of circumscribing a
public service to be only just large enough to create and protect this
environment. Our constitutional Republic was born: the United States of
America.
But even with the additional protections guaranteed to
the People and enshrined in our Bill
of Rights, our public service has been slowly infiltrated and
corrupted.
For the following are historical truisms. The natural drive
of good and honest people is to be independent of the government, if they can
be. The natural drive of criminals, evildoers, and oppressors (including
foreign agents) is to secretly corrupt and infiltrate the government, for their
own advantages. The natural drive of bureaucracy is to grow in size, like a cancer.
The natural drive of government itself is to expand its power, like a control
freak. And the natural drive of the extremely rich and powerful is to get more
so, by any means, like oppressors.
This combination of social drives, over decades and
centuries, has led us back to a society secretly controlled by criminals, evildoers,
and oppressors. And worse, since the natural drive of the mainstream media is
to appease their paymasters—by selling any block of messages, as
effectively as possible—the vast majority of people now crucially lack
deep sociopolitical awareness.
Yet it is not entirely their fault. The government and
the mainstream media have become so powerful that they essentially create the lights
and shadows on the wall in a present-day implementation of Plato’s Cave, where
the larger sociopolitical context is artificially defined and the vast majority
of people have become amazingly obstinate to facts and reason that lie outside
of that misanthropically constructed world. In general, the mass of people has
been brought up in a diabolically engineered society that turns them into
docile dupes for powerful interests to control.
Alarmingly, this huge mass of sheepish people has now
linked all of our fates together. Our entire civilized society heads off a
cliff! We are, in fact, being driven off: so that our possessions and flesh may
be fully plundered by the criminals, evildoers, and oppressors that now control
our Nation.
With increasing transgressions against our Constitution
and Bill of Rights, our Nation is currently oppressed with innumerable engines
of corruption: money politics, needless public debt, private central banks,
replacement of local Militias with Standing Armies, foreign entanglements of
all sorts, imperialism, centralization of government power, unconscionable
government secrecy, privatized governmental functions, enforced monopolies and
cartels, royal and lordly perks for politicians, exceptions to Law, Immunities
to investigation, covert worldwide terrorism, pervasive election rigging,
domestic security agencies, militarized police forces, ubiquitous
surveillance, secret police and spies, domestic checkpoints, etc.
Many of these besetments are, in actual fact, tools of Tyranny.
They evince a clear design to render us under absolute Despotism—which is
exactly what confronted our Founding Fathers. Alas, it can only be prudent, at
this point, to look at their situation and to their example for hope,
instruction, and inspiration.
Facing their own increasingly tyrannical government, which
commanded the greatest military power the world had yet seen, our Founding
Fathers declared Independence from their own government, won the more than
eight-year War against it, and then created and implemented the greatest social
accord for Freedom yet humanly devised: the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Let us live up to the righteousness, fortitude, and Wisdom
of our Founding Fathers. We must right ourselves and fix the problems that
allowed our public service to get so corrupted.
Thankfully, we need not start from scratch nor necessarily
have to fight the government to do it—that is, if the government
isn’t
yet too overtaken by a treasonous desire for Despotism. We must demand that our
Constitution be repaired and improved: prudently, by amendment.
Our Future hangs in the balance. We either forfeit our Country
and our Lives to criminals, evildoers, and oppressors or we—with all needed
force—demand an end to the engines of corruption and the tools of Tyranny.
As the only reliable course of action, We the People
must—increasingly—stand
up, in force and in unity, to demand that the government return to being a public
service of public servants—not a Tyranny of criminals, evildoers, and
oppressors. We must unite to forcibly demand a true corrective.
It is a time for American righteousness and Wisdom. For
ourselves and our Posterity, it is time to awaken and enlighten our fellow
Citizens—despite
the efforts to the contrary by the mainstream media and the government. We must
take courage, take strength, and, most importantly—take Action! Let us be
bold and stalwart in our drive for Liberty: before the noose is tied around our
necks and our civilized society is driven off a cliff!
It is once again time to throw off the yoke of Tyranny!
This time, let us cast it asunder, forevermore…
Preamble
We the People created the State governments, the
Constitution, and the national government as our mere servants; we are both the
masters of and the superiors to these creations, these invented servants.
If one of our servant governments seeks to usurp
us—its
master—that would be Treason. That servant would be, and should be
treated as, an Enemy. Likewise, if a State or the national government assumes
powers that we did not clearly delegate to it, such powers are unauthoritative:
void and of no force. To judge such matters, the master’s judgment is, and according
to acumen must always be, superior to the servant’s.
Each Citizen, accordingly, should be knowledgeable about
the Constitution and the constitutional limits on our State and national
governments. When any of our servants overstep their constitutional or legal
bounds, it is the civic and altruistic duty of every Citizen to challenge and
halt such governmental encroachment. We the People must even maintain, as an
ultimate safeguard, the Right to—and Power for—Revolution over our
government. Indeed, such Revolution began our Nation: with our Declaration of
Independence.
Wisdom reveals the proper size and power limit of State
and national governments: the typical Citizen should neither significantly feel their
presence negatively nor be worried about them personally. And no government
should ever be oppressive to any of its Citizens. Regarding government’s
cacoëthes
for secrecy, Citizens should always be aware of the rough extent and actions of
their State and national governments. Each Citizen must further be able to freely
access virtually any governmental detail without too much time or trouble.
Since the People’s individual Rights and Freedoms form
the foundation of our Nation, let us remind ourselves of their nature. Rights
and Freedoms, as well as their free exercise, never need notification, permission,
insurance, or the like. In fact, they do not depend on public opinion, nor can they
be abridged by public complaint—or even by public action. Except by due
process of Law that abides by the Constitution, each Person’s Rights and Freedoms
are unconditional. They are never to be sacrificed in order to exercise or
retain other Rights, other Freedoms, or anything else.
Of course, Freedom is at times messy, offensive, and
costly, but history has taught us that there is no other secure or worthwhile way
for us to live—but as a free people. As our history exemplifies, we are boldly
and wisely willing to sacrifice—and even to die—for our Freedoms. It
is, equally, our moral duty to beware of those who seek to limit our Freedom or
to intimidate its exercise—and to stop these oppressors.
For ourselves and our Posterity, we must defend our Nation
against criminals, evildoers, and oppressors—especially when they corrupt
and infiltrate the government: to hide and protect their treachery, to steal
our public resources, and even to dominate and enslave us by taking away our Rights
and our Freedoms. We the People, for the above reasons, demand that our
Constitution be hereby amended with the following new Amendments, which shall replace
all of the previous amendments after our Bill of Rights.
Amendment XI
All government employees shall be bound by Oath or
Affirmation to abide, support, and defend our Constitution, to which they shall
receive their own personal copy of its text, including the text of all current
amendments as well as of our Declaration of Independence.
A government employee, in proportion to their position of
trust and power, must be held to greater scrutiny and to a higher standard of
professional and ethical conduct and be given more severe penalties for
criminal activities, than a Citizen.
No government employee may be exempt from or immune to any
Law or be protected from any lawsuit, except as explicitly provided for in the
Constitution. Further, no government employee shall have any legal rights,
freedoms, or privileges beyond those of a Citizen, except as explicitly
provided for in the Constitution. The President, additionally, may not grant
any Reprieve or Pardon to any current or previous government employee. [Note: This
last sentence modifies Article II, section 2, of the Constitution.]
Any government employee fully or partially responsible by
some action for violating the Constitution may hereby be personally sued in
criminal or civil Court by any appropriate Citizen: any local government
employee may be sued in that locale by any local Citizen; any Representative may
be sued in their district by any district Citizen; any Senator or State
government employee may be sued in that State by any State Citizen; otherwise,
any national government employee may be sued by any Citizen. However, no
current government employee may sue another government employee in this way.
Whistleblowers of governmental corruption by current
government employees must not only be thoroughly protected but also generously
rewarded by the government, and in proportion to the degree of governmental
corruption exposed.
If any member of the Executive Branch attempts to alter, unconstitutionally
create, or selectively enforce Laws to any significant extent, that member
shall be immediately and permanently removed from government employment—and
shall receive no further salary or benefits from it, including any retirement
benefits.
And if any government employee officially introduces significantly
unconstitutional legislation, except as a constitutional amendment, that member
shall immediately have his or her government employment terminated and that
legislation dropped from legislative consideration.
Amendment XII
Local, State, and national governments, and all of their Laws,
are inferior to the Constitution. Only the Laws that abide by the Constitution
and by constitutional due process have force; signing statements, executive
orders, and the like are unauthoritative: null and void. [Note: These last two
sentences replace previous amendment fourteen (partially).] Further, the three
branches of the national government may not delegate or combine
powers—even by Law, such as in regulatory agencies. Additionally, the Jurisdiction
of Treaties is only between Nations, not within our Nation: there is no
domestic application. No Treaty may diminish, prejudice, or change the
Constitution, the internal Laws of the United States, or the Rights and Freedoms
of the People. As an ultimate constitutional failsafe, each government, each government
employee, and each Citizen has the Right to reasonably judge and nullify
government Laws, powers, and actions as unconstitutional.
For the national government to do anything outside of the
Constitution, at minimum, a constitutional amendment would be required. The
preamble of the Constitution identifies principles and purposes, but does not
delegate any specific powers to the national government. In fact, there are no
implied powers of the Constitution; it is a document of strict construction. What
follows are some illustrations—from Article
I, section 8, of the
Constitution—that properly reveal the plain intent and meaning in which
the Constitution was understood and acceded to: and should be interpreted as.
First, Commerce within a State may not be regulated by
the national government, even if that Commerce affects interstate Commerce. The
only Commerce among the several States that the national government can
regulate is the Commerce going from one State to another. As a second example,
the phrase “to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general
Welfare of the United States” is merely a restrictive on the power “To lay and
collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” but is not a power in and of
itself. Next, the phrase “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper
for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested
by this Constitution” should be more clearly interpreted as “To make all Laws
which shall be absolutely necessary and proper for carrying into Execution only
the direct Powers enumerated in and vested by this Constitution.” The national
government, as a final example, may not create, define, or punish Crimes,
except as specifically described in the Constitution.
Amendment XIII
No Person shall have their Rights or Freedoms cancelled,
abridged, restrained, or modified without due process of Law that abides by the
Constitution. Furthermore, there shall be no Law abridging the Freedom of
religion, of speech, of reasonable expression, or of the press or abridging the
Right of the People peaceably to assemble, and to petition government for a
redress of grievances.
The final bulwark against Tyranny, the Right of the
People to keep, buy, sell, transport, and bear Arms, their implements, and
their accessories shall not be abridged. And no Citizen shall be debarred the reasonable
use of Arms on his or her own property.
Being necessary to the Freedom and security of society, a
well-regulated Militia, composed of local Citizens to each area, shall be well
funded by each State. States may not have any military force, except that of
their local Militias. And no military equipment or personnel, except that of
the local Militias, may be used domestically for Law enforcement.
However, in times of civil emergency where the peace
requires it, a State—by a vote of three-fourths of its Legislature, or until
this vote can be made, by the State’s Executive—may request the
employment within its State of another State’s Militia. Such employment, with
the Consent of both States as well as of the Militia, may occur: but only for a
period no longer than three months, within any twelve-month period.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, including
required military service, shall exist within the United States or any place
subject to their Jurisdiction. [Note: This last sentence supersedes a portion
of Article
IV, section 2, of the Constitution and replaces previous
amendment thirteen.]
Torture—including electric shock, water boarding, and “pain
compliance”—shall never be done on any Person. No experiment by
government shall ever be done on any Person without his or her informed and
expressed consent. Lastly, no Person may be imprisoned for debts, or debts
unpaid.
The Right of a Person to be secure in their Person and effects
includes the Right to informational and electronic Privacy as well as the Right
to not be tracked, listed, or monitored—whether individually or collectively
and whether through computer, abstraction, or otherwise—by any government
without the Person’s informed and expressed consent.
Private property taken for public use must always be
entirely allocated for general public ownership, development, and use, never
for private ownership, development, or use; or the property must be returned to
the original owners: for half of what the government paid for the property, and
with all of its original Rights intact.
Amendment XIV
Because the private Federal Reserve Banks have fleeced
our Nation through the fraud of fractional-reserve banking for about a hundred
years, they shall hereby be compulsorily liquidated—any net positive proceeds
of which shall be equally divided and given to each Citizen of the United
States. Any of those proceeds not claimed within seven years shall be apportioned
among the several States according to their respective Numbers, excluding
Indians not taxed. Permanently, the Federal Reserve is hereby abolished. The
United States shall never again have any sort of private central bank.
By one year from the ratification of this article, all banks
are required to increase their reserves on deposits to one hundred percent. The
Treasury, during this time, shall emit Bills of Credit as United States
Tender—the
new legal tender of the United States—sufficient in quantity to pay off
the entire national debt, and replace all Federal Reserve Notes.
Thereafter, fractional reserve lending and all other
forms of legal tender creation by private banks or by anything other than
the Treasury is strictly forbidden. The Treasury, furthermore, may only create
or destroy United States Tender in order to maintain its original unit
value—that
is, its original unit value from one year after the ratification of this
article—to prevent inflation and deflation of the currency.
There shall be no tax on gold or silver coins; Citizens
and governments may freely create and use gold or silver coins as a tender, but
the only legal tender shall be the United States Tender, besides Money coined
by the national government.
Amendment XV
The role of the judiciary is to determine the application
of the Law, not to help make or refine the Law. Furthermore, no Judge may
prejudice Justice or the Jury. All Judges must fully inform each Jury member,
at the beginning of each Trial, of his or her Right to Law nullification as
well as to return a verdict of “not guilty” for any reason. Likewise,
each Jury member shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support and defend
our Constitution during the Trial. Each Jury member shall then freely receive
their own personal copy of the text of the Constitution, including all current Amendments
as well as our Declaration of Independence.
Each supreme Court Judge must submit their own opinion in
each Court case that they hear. Each supreme Court Judge shall be limited to a
term of sixteen years, at which point he or she may be reconfirmed for another
term by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. All other national Judges shall
each be limited to a term of six years, at which point he or she may be
reconfirmed for another term with and by Consent of the Senate.
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. [Note: This paragraph modifies Article III,
section 2, of the Constitution and replaces previous amendment eleven.]
Amendment XVI
No President, Vice President, Senator, or Representative
may hold two consecutive terms, or any part thereof, or hold more than two
terms, or any part thereof, of that same position in total. [Note: This
paragraph replaces previous amendment twenty-two.]
No Law, varying the compensation for the services of the
Senators or the Representatives, shall ever have any benefit to those who voted
for it. [Note: This last sentence replaces previous amendment twenty-seven.]
Additionally, no government employee may have a salary and benefits package
that is worth more than quadruple that of the average of employed Citizens or
be given a retirement package worth more than quadruple that of the average of retiring
Citizens at that time.
If any current or previous government employee accepts or
claims any official title of nobility or honor, or any pension, office,
emolument, or significant present, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign
power, such employee shall be immediately and permanently removed from government
employment, shall receive no further salary or benefits from it, including any retirement
benefits, and shall, with the Consent of the House of Representatives, cease to
be a Citizen of the United States.
Since the combination of secrecy and power is an ever-present
threat to both our constitutional Republic and our democratic processes, each Senator
must be given immediate and total access to all governmental information and
locations upon request and may subpoena and question any government employee or
contractor, who shall be placed under penalty of perjury for intentionally lying,
misleading, or withholding of relevant information.
No government employee may be a member of or attend any
nonpublic meeting of a significantly secretive society, organization, or club.
Amendment XVII
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States according to their respective Numbers, excluding
Indians not taxed. [Note: This last sentence modifies Article
I, section 2, of
the Constitution and replaces previous amendments fourteen (partially) and
twenty-six.] The Number of Representatives shall not be less than one for every
sixty Thousand. And no intentional gerrymandering shall be allowed.
All Bills must originate in the House of Representatives.
Each Bill, if ready for a vote in the House of Representatives, must fully be
made public and then be publically scheduled for a vote in no sooner than four
working days, or than twenty-four hours if in a dire emergency. Once a Bill has
passed the House of Representatives, the Senate must schedule their vote on the
Bill as just described for the other House, but in no sooner than half of the
above stated time. If a Bill is ever changed, the entire process above must begin
again. The President, of course, may not change a Bill; he or she may only sign
it unconditionally as it is or return it.
The national government may only use military force in
declared Wars—unless the United States is actually invaded, or is in such
imminent and serious Danger as will not admit of any delay. Furthermore, War
may only be declared if approved by two thirds of both Houses of Congress. No
declaration of War, however, shall be valid for more than two years, at which
point it may be declared again, as above. The United States shall have no Standing
Army, except in times of declared War.
The public debt of the United States may only be incurred
or increased if approved by two thirds of both Houses of Congress.
Either two thirds of both Houses of Congress or the
Legislatures of two thirds of the several States may propose Amendments to this
Constitution, which shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this
Constitution, only when the same text of the proposed Amendment is ratified
within twenty years by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States;
Provided that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal
Suffrage in the Senate. [Note: This paragraph modifies Article
V of the Constitution.]
Amendment XVIII
A natural born Citizen is a Person born on United States
territory with at least one parent a United States Citizen at that time. Only
natural born Citizens and Citizens by way of Naturalization are Citizens of the
United States. [Note: This last sentence replaces previous amendment fourteen
(partially).]
The Right of Citizens, who are eighteen years of age or
older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged. [Note: This last sentence
replaces previous amendments fifteen,
nineteen,
and twenty-four.]
All voting by the People that is administered by
government must be done on paper ballots, and be entirely verifiable by the
People. Subverting an election shall be a Felony, and any government employee
guilty of it shall also be immediately and permanently removed from government
employment—and shall receive no further salary or benefits from it,
including any retirement benefits.
To help combat Money politics, no corporation nor foreign
individual or power may provide Money or significant physical resources to any
political campaign, including for or against any politician or any specific or
general legislation.
The Jury selection process and implementation must be entirely
open to and verifiable by the People.
No Law shall abridge the individual health Freedom of the
People; no food, plant, substance, or product that could be reasonably used for
health may be criminalized or repressively regulated or taxed. Each Person shall
have the Freedom of any health practice, therapy, or care that he or she
chooses. And no government shall physically, chemically, or genetically
adulterate the air, water, or food of the People.
No Law shall abridge a parent’s Freedom to educate or
discipline their children in whatever reasonably way that the parent chooses.
Amendment XIX
All police officers, “law enforcement” officers, and the
like shall hereby have, as a replacement, the title of peace officer.
No peace officer shall employ or wear paramilitary
equipment or clothing. All lawful orders, and only lawful orders, made by a peace
officer to a Citizen shall be preceded by or followed by the words “lawful
order.” No peace officer may intentionally deceive or intimidate a Citizen,
unless there is probable cause of a serious Crime, supported by Oath or
affirmation, to which such disrespectful action is reasonably deemed necessary
to determine the facts or motives of that Crime.
Finally, no government employee may endanger a Citizen or
use aggressive force against a Citizen except when there is no other reasonable
option: in self defense, in the direct defense of others, or in executing
constitutional due process of Law; otherwise, Citizens may use all due Force
against a government employee to defend themselves and their constitutional Rights.
Amendment XX
Since centralization of power makes the corruption of it
easier, each government power should only be, as a general rule, located at the
most local level practical. The national government, additionally, to prevent
the undue centralization of power or influence, shall not, except as provided
for in this Constitution, give Money, loans, or resources to any State or local
government conditionally.
Next, the State government may only own or control at
most five percent of the Land of each State; the national government at most one
percent; and foreign governments, corporations, and individuals collectively at
most one percent.
The Land of the United States, of course, ultimately belongs
to the Citizens of the United States—not to any government. Hence, no
government may take for itself any Tax on this Land. The Land, which for the
purposes of this and the next paragraph shall include the Rights to all of the
Land’s natural resources, belongs to each Citizen equally. Though it would be
absurd to attempt to sell or divide the Land of the United States and then give
the proceeds equally to each Citizen. We can address the above Facts to form a
reasonable and equitable resolution.
Every year, a Land Tax of one percent of the free market Value
of each owned Land parcel in the United States, except the portions of Land
that are freely available for general public use, shall be collected from each Land
Owner (including government Land Owner) by the national government and exclusively
distributed equally to each and every Citizen who is eighteen years of age or
older. The Land Values shall be assessed only through public Records and inspections
from public areas. Hence, in approximate terms, Citizens who own less than
their fair share of United States Land will get Money from those who own more:
proportionately. Any such Money not claimed within seven years shall be apportioned
among the several States according to their respective Numbers, excluding
Indians not taxed.
As a concluding note, here are some questions for
Citizens to consider regarding Law and bureaucracy. Why should any Law be
longer than five thousand words or be significantly incomprehensible to the typical
Citizen? When should a Legislature have in existence more than one thousand Laws?
Can a Law or government action be just if it impairs the Freedom of Contracts
or enables a monopoly or cartel? What can be the validity of a Law that creates
a criminal without a victim? Is a Law that seeks to proactively protect Citizens
from themselves compatible with Freedom—or with Tyranny?
