It's Elementary – The Constitution Should Be!

Elementary Catechism on the Constitution

Arthur Stansbury’s original 1828 text with Introduction and Conclusion, including 332 Questions/Answers on the Constitution with step by step commentary on all of the important features of “a government of law and not of men”, is one of the fundamental text that we will be using for leadership development and Constitutional reasoning at the Samuel Adams Center for Political Science.  

I firmly believe if we had continued to use this Catechism on the Constitution to this very day we would not have the UN, we would not have obumer-care, we would not be dealing with much of what we are.  So just as a slight introduction I want to share the summary of what Stansbury wrote to the children of the day.

Deception in Health Care

The critical mass of what we are seeing played out in the present Paul Ryan Health Bill debacle is absolutely easy to understand if…. One has paid any remote attention to ‘treaties’ and UN requirements. Now this commentary is not conspiracy theory junk. In my seminar “From Covenant to The Present Constitution: The Tale of Two Constitutions[1]” I show in detail from the State Department web site that we are entangled to the tune of about 10,000 treaties and ‘executive agreements.’  George Washington, in his Farewell Address warned us not to get captured and enslaved this way.
I’m going to keep this commentary short. Those that know me are rolling on the floor laughing! The simple analysis on why we ended up with what I call Congress Care (obama-care) in the first place begins in 2001. Yes, 2001 with a UN report by none other than – “the UN committee that monitors compliance with the Race Convention (CERD).” Continue reading

Does Anyone Know How to Govern?

With all that we have seen occur at the national level over the last, let’s say “50 years,” it became obvious to me that the nation is not being governed by Foundational Principles. I came to this conclusion a long time ago but could not put my finger on it other then what I’ve discussed in my presentation “From Covenant to the Present Constitution (The Tale of Two Constitutions).” Yet that is a complex answer to what I think many are looking for in a simple rational.
With how the national government is acting one has to wonder if anyone knows how to govern? My conclusion is ‘NO’ because they are not functioning as intended under Federalism. As I mention next, we have been functioning as a national constitutional fascist system since 1913. That sounds harsh but, when you look at the discussions of the Federalists and Anti-federalists in comparison to early 20th Century amendments and institutionalization of government. Well, the result is what the Anti-federalist predicted in No. 3, 7 and 9.
Ok, so I’m going to attempt to keep this simple and not the 20,000 words that I could write on this topic. In Particular I’m going to let Madison and several of the other Founders give the details with my, hopefully, slight interjection. Let’s just for a moment look at the turn of events after the Civil War amendment debacle. I’m not going to go retroactive to that point but I will take us back just over 100 years and what I’ve been discussing on my radio program regarding Edward House and his pseudo auto-biography “Philip Dru: Administrator.” Continue reading

Educating the Press and Civil Servants

The Press:

John Sargent 1921 (Wikipedia)

John Sargent 1921 (Wikipedia)


Imagine having to walk out into a pit of vipers every day – the mixture of colors before you blending into a kaleidoscope that is highlighted by the sun like spots in the room. The hissing of the venomous hypnotic mixture working every sound of soothsaying to bring you closer, closer for them to wrap a coil or two around you and inflict you with a rapid bite of insidiousness. A quick response and one of heads of this emerged Hydra falls to floor with immediate screeches that cause the head to reproduce two fold. Yes, this is the environment that Sean Spicer walks into daily. What causes this den to slither and shriek now when it was tamely at rest for as many as eight to fifteen years?
The complex answer has to do with the advances that those who do not respect or desire our Constitutional Republic have made in the seats of bureaucratic operations. I know, you lift your eyebrow at that answer. The reality is that for almost two generations we have not educated our children in any actual concepts of what a Constitutional Republic is let alone how it should operate. Worse, the den of vipers and their litters are the direct products of the national academic milieu of antithesis imbued with Hegelian Dialectics. In other words, they don’t know, understand or desire to know Founders Constitutional Intent. Therefore when the slightest semblance of Constitutionalism enters the field, the vipers’ nests are threatened and respond with all that is seen in every Spicer press briefing.
How to clean out this crowd of venomous creatures. My simplest solution is to have them take a Constitutional seminar to temper some of the deep seated disdain for what the United States is. The reality that most so called journalist schools are managed and controlled by socialists if not out right Marxists in known by all who honestly investigate. My answer to those wanting to participate in briefings need to understand that the Administration has a Constitutional duty to perform and they need to get educated with Founders Intent for the operation of the Republic. I’m not sure if Spicer could do this but, I’d tell those wanting into the den that seating will be arranged according to proof of those holding a certificate proving they completed 60 hours of Constitutional education from the perspective of Founders Intent.
I will list my recommendations for this training at the end of this statement. By the Way, Samuel Adams understood the corruption of the mainstream press such that he started his own newspaper.
Civil Servants:
The treachery at every turn in the various bureaucratic departments reporting to the President has a very simple answer: Loyalty to the Constitution.
In doing some simple research, it is made very evident that ‘All Federal Civil Servants Shall swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution.’ The following is from the Federal Employee Data information:
“As Federal civil servants, we take an oath of office by which we swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution not only establishes our system of government, it actually defines the work role for Federal employees – “to establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.”
The history of the Oath for Federal employees can be traced to the Constitution, where Article II includes the specific oath the President takes – to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Article VI requires an oath by all other government officials from all three branches, the military, and the States. It simply states that they “shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” The very first law passed by the very first Congress implemented Article VI by setting out this simple oath in law: “I do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may be) that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”
The wording we use today as Executive Branch employees is now set out in chapter 33 of title 5, United States Code.
TITLE 5, PART III, Subpart B, CHAPTER 33, SUBCHAPTER II, § 3331
Oath of office
An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, ———-, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
My point here is that each Federal employee should be required to re-swear or affirm this oath. In conjunction with this and because we have not properly taught the Constitution since the mid 1800’s, the employees shall attend the 60 hours training. If an employee refuses either, then they are not eligible to remain employed.
The common answer for much of what is going on in the US today is that we have not properly taught our Foundational Truths. Heck, a 5th grader in 1829 was smarter on the full function of the Constitution then the judges on the 9th Circuit Court. Arthur Stansbury, in 1828 compiled the “Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States for the use of Schools.” I am updating the comprehensive text that I have given to Legislators and lawyers to see if they could answer all the questions. Nope, most missed more than 50%.
Now, after exhaustive research and review of Constitutional education my list is as follows:
Number 3: Hillsdale College online studies. They are free but they don’t have the quality student to instructor interaction I believe necessary to comprehend our Constitutional Republic.
Number 2: The Institute on The Constitution. They have a Great DVD series that can be facilitated well by knowledgeable person.
Number 1: Thomas Jefferson Center for Constitutional Studies. “Healing of America Series.” This is the best well-rounded and fully historically correct program that I’ve seen or participated in.
Now, let’s Make America Great Again by having a society that understands what the Founders Intended for a Great Constitutional Republic.

Pledge of Allegiance

It took me 30 seconds to determine that Texas State Rep. Molly White was absolutely correct in her request that Muslims, and I may add any group not born in the US, pledge their Allegiance the the US and to Texas (PERIOD)!

The flack that Rep. White is getting is from those that either have no Allegiance to the US Constitution or the Texas State Constitution or they are ignorant of the Oath of Citizenship or worse, they are subversives working to undermine the that which our Founders demanded of any person emigrating to this Country.

There has been a lot written on ‘naturalizing foreigners’ from our Founders perspective so I’ll keep it short and simple with this:

Alexander Hamilton, a contributor to the Federalist Papers and who I often criticize got this one correct when he wrote concerning naturalization of immigrants:
“Part of what makes a community a community is its expectation of cultural continuity over time. That continuity is achieved by the acculturation of new members, whether they enter at birth or at later ages. The same is true, if to a more limited extent, of the “imagined community” that is a nation. Acculturation of the native-born is taken for granted; assimilation of immigrants is less assured. Immigration is typically tolerated, and sometimes welcomed, by the recipient population provided that the numbers of entrants and their pace of assimilation do not seriously challenge existing perceptions of national identity. Present-day immigration in some European countries many see as posing a challenge in this sense, prefiguring, in one appraisal, a cultural transformation amounting to a third demographic transition. Even in the United States, which often calls itself a nation of immigrants (I have to mention here that Hamilton was an immigrant), a comparatively liberal entry policy encounters populist resistance. “Naturalization” — acquisition of formal citizenship, and hence suffrage (meaning voting) — is a further step along, conditioned on a prescribed period of residence and some minimal knowledge of the Constitution.
“These issues are perennial ones, dating back, in the United States, to the earliest years of the republic. Thomas Jefferson, in his Notes on the State of Virginia, written in 1781/82, cautioned against “great importations of foreigners” — carrying with them, he feared, their monarchist views. For population growth he preferred reliance on the country’s then very high rate of natural increase.”

Tim Woods in Human Events writes, “Hamilton was likewise unconvinced that diversity was a strength. The safety of a republic, according to him, depended “essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment, on a uniformity of principles and habits, on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice, and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family.” He then drew out the implications of this point: “The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to change and corrupt the national spirit; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all-important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency.”

This takes me to the fact that most don’t understand what the Oath of Citizenship says!
Here it is:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”

With this all that want to be US Citizens all applicants shall take an oath that incorporates the substance of the following:

1. Support the Constitution;
2. Renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;
3. Support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
4. Bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and
A. Bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; or
B. Perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; or
C. Perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law.

So what’s the beef here?  Well anyone who has any perspective of Sharia knows that it is a theocratic form of government that demands absolute allegiance.  So the trouble here is, that if anyone, Muslim, Mexican or anyone, wants to be a US Citizen they must go through the process and swear allegiance to the Constitution and the US renouncing all other attachments to other governments.

I fully support Rep. White wanting to know if she was dealing with a foreigner or a citizen since each should be treated differently since one is a foreign visitor and the other is a constituent.

Here is an example of a “Lesser Magistrate” doing the correct action.

Radio Program Now Has Two Time Slots

We just received fantastic news for the Radio Program “Samuel Adams Returns – The Anti-federalists Got It Right” hosted at Liberty Works Radio Network.  We now have Two Time Slots every Saturday – 9 AM Eastern and 7 PM Eastern.
Join me this Saturday On “Samuel Adams Returns – The Anti-federalists Got It Right”  –  Discussing  –  The 114th Congress:  What is it?
– at 9 AM Eastern and again at 7 PM Eastern adjust the time according to your time zone.

Listen on www.lwrn.net to understand from a participant in the 1787 Convention why the 114th Congress will be what it is and that in fact, you are not represented as the then proposed Constitution expected that you would be.

With that, think of all that our Founders reacted against in respect to the English Parliament and in reality, we have it all with us again – including: legislative and bureaucratic tyranny, executive despotism and judicial tyranny too! All managed by the international banking and business interests.

Listen to the program and Hear what Robert Yates predicted about the House of Representatives.

The "Plan" – Will the Elections Matter

Over the last two weeks I have been commenting on the elections, especially the Senate, during the at least one segment of my Radio Program “Samuel Adams Returns – The Anti-Federalist Got it Right.”  I’ll mention the elections again tomorrow night but….  Right NOW, I have to comment about the continuing usurpation and despotism that is accelerating in the administration.  And you know what, The new Senate or the combined Republican majority of the Congress is not going to do a single thing about it!!

I want to comment on two areas that are in the forefront: the first – Amnesty and second climate change.

Unilateral action on Amnesty is nothing more than tyrannical despotism and usurpation of the Constitutional Authority of Congress (PERIOD)  It is clear that it is only Congressional authority that can establish any rules or laws regarding immigration as noted in Article I. Section 8. Clause 3 (PERIOD)  I’m not going to belabor this one since there are enough opinionated pundits yapping their jaws and not sticking to the rule of Constitutional Law.  Well, maybe there are few out there but the reality is that the Repudiacins** that are the leadership in the House and the new Senate majority are ready to again give up their authority – but for what?  I’ll let this dead horse lie and move on for others to continue to beat it since the lawless usurper is going to act unilaterally.

Now, climate insanity:  This we know began with Bush #1 and got into full swing with ‘no cigar’ Clinton.  The point is that the Goremeister has continued to have direct influence in this globalist administration with the full push of destroying the US economy and deepening the enslavement of the Citizenry through “climate change,” sustainability and EPA regulations.  I appreciate this short clip from Varney & Company regarding the destructive deal the usurper made this week with his communist comrades.  Remember, that the despot promised to raise energy rates when he was initially running for president.  Oh, I will comment that the despot is not concerned about his legacy but he is concerned about executing the agenda of his globalist/communist masters.

Which leads me to a quick note on communism in the United States.  Well, it has been here as socialism since the mid-1800’s and has had full fledged marxist/gramsci-ites since the 1920 deeply imbedded in our various federal departments, especially the State Department and so on.  So here is a lesson for you to read, if you have the courage to do so, learn what happened as a strategy that is in full implementation and force from the takeover of Czechoslovaki.  In the booklet, “And Not a Shot is Fired” by Jan Kozak (Member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia), you learn of the strategy that was key in Gramsci’s process of world communist take-over.  In the forward to the John Howland Snow, Introduction to “And Not a Shot Is Fired” (New Caanan, CT: The Long House, Inc., 1972; “Snow tries to warn everyone as early as 1962 about the dangers of “agencies” the intent of which is to take power and authority away from elected officials and place it under “agencies” who’s personnel is “NON-elected.”  This formula on how to convert representative government into a socialist government, altering the governmental processes of the bvicimized country inot regional agencies, is detailed by communist Jan Kozak.  Quite obviously, this method is being used on state and federal levels all over the U.S. A., whick is the reason why we have not been able to stop communist advancements.  We CANNOT vote out personnel in non-elected agencies! Agencies now have more power over the personal lives of the people than was ever delegated to elected representatives!”

And the new “majority Congress” will be gutless to use the power of the purse to stop the tyranny! 

I’ll be discussing a proposed strategy next week on the radio program.  It will follow the Samuel Adams model to a great extent.

**Repudiacin is the establishment republican that fulfills the following definition of “Repudiate” from the dictionary:  a) refuse to accept or be associated with Constitutional original intent or those who are of that understanding and mindset.  b) deny the truth or validity of the Biblical Reformation Sovereign of the universe as the Founders did and the original intent of the US Constitutional Republic.  c)  chiefly Law refusal to fulfill or discharge (an agreement, obligation, or debt) in relation to the fundamentals of Constitutionalism in the united states as originally intended under the Founders understanding of ‘federalism.’

November 1, 2014 – Senate, Treaties and International Executive Agreements

On this broadcast of Samuel Adams Returns – The Anti-federalist Got It Right,  I continue the discussion of how the Senate is now a part of democracy and not the Republic to which it was intended. Then I get into a real sore spot, Treaties and International Executive Agreements. De Tocqueville wrote that if tyranny would engross America, it would a ‘soft despotism” that arose through elected administrators. For over 100 years we have been electing administrators over statesmen, socialism entered into this nation since the early 1800’s and infiltrated the core principles of We the People so that most do not have the concept of what Foundational Liberty is about.
Hence we have had since the 1930’s International Executive Agreements at a ratio of almost 20:1 over treaties that have established that ‘soft despotism’ and stripped us of our individual and national sovereignty, making us serfs in the globalist dream.

October 25, 2014 S. Adams – Christian Culpability in the 17th Amendment

This topic is in the archives of the radio program, Samuel Adams Returns – The Anti-Federalist Got it Right for October 25, 2014.
This is an interesting and difficult topic.  This digs deep into the way that progressivism, socialism and yes, even communism embedded itself into the Christian denominations of the 19th and early 20th Century.  This topic brings to light the move away from what the Federalist had hoped for – a Christian Reformation Gospel that would maintain a religious and moral people such that electing moral, virtuous and wise men would keep the Republic and Liberty secure.  And this fulfills what the Anti-federalist more clearly understood – That mankind was sinful and that all sort of attack would ensue even within the context of the churches without individuals holding to the Reformation Gospel Principles and Truths.
This radio program takes on the challenge of bringing to light what happened in a parallel course of events – The rise of socialism and communism in America: the parallel influence in the political arena and at the same time in the Protestant denominations.
Samuel Adams Returns with insights to stir the minds of men today as Samuel Adams set the brush-fires of the mind aflame during the rise of the battle for Liberty!
