TUESDAY LESSONS IN CIVICS & THE CONSTITUTION - B








“Just Hitting Another

Brick Wall”
















Unconstitutional and Illegal Federal Laws

Tuesday, May 22nd

Today, I am going to start with Article I – Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution to show how the Federal Government is violating the SUPREME LAW of the LAND. I am not going to list all of the items in each Article, only the ones that are being violated by the government:

Section 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; (Here we have the first violation which I will be pointing out):

Please note that Section 8 states: Congress shall have Power to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations. . . .”, No where does it state that We the People have given Congress the RIGHT, POWER or DUTY to cede this Power to any other branch of Government, yet that is EXACTLY what Congress did when the Senate passed "fast track" legislation, forfeiting its right under the Constitution to set trade policy to the executive branch.

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

Here we see that Congress is to establish Naturalization rules, but they have been negligent in this duty by their failure to see that our Immigration Laws, which they have enacted, are enforced. This has led to the present immigration chaos facing our nation today.

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Once again, please note that the Constitution states: Congress shall have Power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof. . . .”, and as in all of the Powers established in the Constitution for each of the THREE Branches of GOVERNMENT, there was and is NO provision or clause that gives them the RIGHT or POWER to cede their powers to other branches of Government or to private (non-government) individuals, groups, organizations or entities. Yet, this is exactly what Congress did in 1913, under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson, when Congress unconstitutionally (thus illegally) ceded this POWER to a privately owned banking cartel and allowed them to set up the Federal Reserve Banking System along with the Federal Income Tax and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

According to the Constitution, in order for something to become an AMENDMENT to the Constitution, it REQUIRES ratification by TWO THIRDS of the States. Both the Federal Reserve System and the IRS along with the Federal Income Tax, were planned in secrecy (see the book Creature from Jekyll Island by Stephen Neitzke)* and they were voted into law in the middle of the night on December 23, 1913 when the majority of Congress had gone home for the Christmas holiday. Thus, this amendment was ratified by only THREE states. http://ddrevival.blogspot.com/2006/07/fed-jekyll-island-monster.html*

Here is a little background info on the Federal Reserve Banking System and the Federal Income Tax.

First, the Federal Reserve Bank IS NOT part of the Federal Government. If you look under the United States Government section of you telephone book, where it lists ALL of the Federal Departments, you will NOT find the Federal Reserve listed there. Why? The Federal Reserve Banking System is and always has been a PRIVATELY owned banking cartel.

Those sitting on the Board of Directors and the major shareholders (Class “A” stock) of the Federal Reserve Bank System are:

Members of the Rothschild family, both the London and Berlin branches of the family;

Family members of the Lazard Brothers of Paris;

Family of Israel Seiff of Italy;

Kuhn-Loeb Company of Germany;

Warburg Family of Hamburg and Amsterdam in The Netherlands;

Lehman Brothers of New York City;

Goldman and Sachs (Sachs Fifth Avenue) of New York City;

The Rockefeller Family.

Many of the above named are also on the Boards of every major national bank in Europe and Asia.

The only connection that the Federal Reserve has to our Federal Government is that by law, the President of the U.S. appoints the seven members of the Federal Reserve Board (this is the local Board, not the Board of the Federal Reserve System listed above) who serve a term of fourteen years each. Other then that, the Federal Reserve is NOT accountable to the Government.

The Fed receives well over a trillion dollars of income annually, yet Congress holds them exempt from paying any taxes on their illegally obtained income. The only taxes paid by the Federal Reserve is real estate taxes. In order to keep the American public in the dark, the Fed’s financial activities are never exposed to the light of day. In it’s ninety-four year history, the Fed has NEVER been audited by Congress or any other government agency.

“Neither Presidents, Congressmen, nor Secretaries of the Treasury direct the Federal Reserve. In matters of money, the Federal Reserve directs them.” None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Gary Allen

“In the United States we have, in effect, two governments…. We have the duly constituted Government…. Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution.” Congressman Wright Patman, former Chairman, House Banking and Currency Committee.

Now as to the Federal Income Tax and the Internal Revenue Service. Prior to 1913 there was NO Federal Income Tax. All of the money that the Federal Government needed to operate, was raised through Import and Export Taxes, and through the sale of war and military equipment. When, in 1913, Congress unconstitutionally and illegally ceded their Power to coin Money and regulate the Value thereof, to the Federal Reserve Banking System, this action created a national debt which WE the PEOPLE were then required to pay. This debt came about because the Fed was allowed to create money out of thin air. As collateral, Congress put up the labor and property of each American citizen to meet the newly created national debt. This was the purpose of instituting the Federal Income Tax, with the Internal Revenue Service as the “collection agency” for the Federal Reserve.

NEXT, Congress shall have the POWER

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

Once more, please note that the Constitution states Congress shall have the Power to declare War, not the President. No where, is there any clause that says the President has the RIGHT or the POWER to make an end run around Congress by going to the United Nations to procure a “MANDATE” to go to war. By the same token, there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the President or Congress to place our armed forces under the command of any foreign power and this includes the United Nations. When our sons and daughters enlist or are drafted into the armed forces of the United States, they each step forward and take the oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. They DO NOT take or swear any oath to defend or protect the constitution, or charter of any foreign nation and/or entity which includes the United Nations. Our military personnel have only ONE duty and obligation and that is defend, protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the defense of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. So why do our politicians insist on telling us that they cannot put our military on our borders to stop all of the illegal immigration because they are NOT trained for that, yet they will send them to foreign countries to protect their borders?

The Congress and the various presidents also use the U.S. Law of Posse Comitatus as a reason for not being able to place our military on our borders. They claim that this law forbids them from using the military to defend our borders. This is NOT TRUE! The law of Posse Comitatus only forbids the Government from using our military as a police force against American citizens.

According to this section of the Constitution, every war that we fought, since the end of World War II, has been Constitutionally ILLEGAL, since each of these wars were fought by the sitting President going to the U.N. to get a “mandate” to go to war instead of allowing Congress to do their Constitutional duty by declaring War.

Section 10:

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

The Constitution stated that only gold and silver was to constitute the currency of the United States. This was violated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he outlawed the private ownership of gold. Prior to his administration, all of our paper money stated across the top, either “UNITED STATES SILVER CERTIFICATE” or “UNITED STATES GOLD CERTIFICATE”. This meant that if you had a five dollar “silver certificate”, you could go to any bank in the U.S. and demand and receive five dollars worth of silver. If it was a five dollar “gold certificate” you could demand and receive five dollars worth of gold. There was enough gold and silver in Fort Knox to back up each of the notes that were printed.

Today’s paper money only says across the top: “FERDERAL RESERVE NOTE”, which means that our paper money today is nothing more than an I.O.U. with nothing to back it up. I shall get into more of this in a later posting.

Next week I shall cover Article III.
