Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 09:23:23 -0800 From: "Gregory" ekklesi-@presys.com I posted Claire's statement. The Bilderbergers and CFR are not traitors, they are very loyal to the Bilderbergers and CFR. I may step on some toes here but Jesus said call no man on earth Father but my Father in heaven. If the Burgers and the CFR are traitors then the signers of the Constitution for the United States are also traitors to the Republics of America. Then everyone who leaves the freedom of the Republic for the security of the US federal democracy is also a traitor. The United States was never free the men who created it knew that. "Just as the revolutionary Adams opposed the Constitution in Massachusetts, so did Patrick Henry in Virginia, and the contest in that most important State of all was prolonged and bitter. He who in Stamp Act days had proclaimed that there should be no Virginians or New Yorkers, but only Americans, now declaimed as violently against the preamble of the Constitution because it began, `We the people of the United States' instead of `We, the State.' Like many, he feared a `consolidated' government, and the loss of states rights. Not only Henry but much abler men, such as Mason, Benjamin Harrison, Munroe, R.H. Lee were also opposed and debated...others in what was the most acute discussion carried on anywhere..." "Owing to the way in which the conventions were held, the great opposition manifested everywhere, and the management required to secure the barest majorities for ratification, it seems impossible to avoid the conclusion that the greater part of the people were opposed to the Constitution." "It was not submitted to the people directly, and in those days of generally limited suffrage, even those who voted for delegates to the State conventions were mostly of a propertied class, although the amount of property called for may have been slight." History of the U.S. by James Truslow Adams V.1. pp. 258-259. Was the Constitution of the United States ever ratified and what is its true source of authority? There has been serious questions raised and continuous arguments made about the lawful passing of certain amendments. The fact is the Constitution of the United States was never ratified according to the law at the time. "If a constitution expressly provides that it may be amended only in a certain way and another way followed, such and attempted amendment is illegal; but if it is acquiesced in it becomes effective as a peaceful revolution such as took place when the United States Constitution took effect upon the ratification by nine states in spite of the fact that the old Articles of Confederation provided that they should not be amended without unanimous consent of the states." (Clark's Sum. of American Law, Constitutional Law Chapt 1, §1 p. 462) Ignorance and vanity tempered with apathy and avarice are the greatest allies to tyranny. So what is the authority that makes the Constitution of the United States and its Amendments the law of the land and the authority in our lives? Because of constructive and direct waivers by the states it has become common today to hear the once sovereign states referred to as only "quasi sovereign." Citizenship is, "The status of being a citizen" and may include a, "Membership in a political society, implying a duty of allegiance on the part of the member and a duty of protection on the part of society." (Luria v. U.S., 231 U.S.9,34 S.Ct.10,13,58 l.ed.101.(Black's3rd.p.330)) Whether a citizen is still a natural inhabitant or has obtained membership in a political society he has certain rights, although, those rights may differ. The natural inhabitant may be a member of a society or civitas(Any body of people living under the same laws. Black's 3rd.) but he remains an individual with civil rights within that general body. The United States is not a Republic "I believe in the United States of America as a government...whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed: a democracy in a republic." April 3, 1918, the new American creed was read in Congress http://presys.com/~ekklesia/rvd.htm http://presys.com/~ekklesia/dvd.htm If you go into the democracy, rights may become priviledges. "Civil rights are such as belong to every citizen of the state or country, or, in a wider sense to all its inhabitants, and are not connected with the organization or the administration of government. They include the rights of property, marriage, protection by laws, freedom of contract, trial by jury, etc." An individual who becomes a member or person in a political society also has civil rights. But the origin of those rights being political are rights "pertaining or relating to the policy or administration of government.." So, "as otherwise defined, civil rights are rights appertaining to a person in virtue of his citizenship in a state or community. Rights capable of being enforced or redressed in civil action. Also a term applied to certain rights secured to citizens of the United States by the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution, and by various acts of congress made in pursuance thereof." Black's 3rd p. 1559. http://presys.com/~ekklesia/cvc.htm What are you a member of? The United States wars against the freedom of the republic. Those who remain in the republic are considered enemy aliens. It is not safe being free in America that is why I have opted to be a slave of Christ. David was anointed of God but he never had to killed Saul. Saul fell on his own sword. The burger guys and the rest of the powers that would be will make the ultimate blunder and will be destroyed by an army they are building. The enemies of the Lord turned on themselves time and again. There are many things people do not understand in the governments and systems they build for themselves. Nation, country and government are not synonymous terms. If you consent under the United States government and it agrees with the Burgers then what is your complaint. A democracy is a common purse of rights where according to Jefferson fifty one percent of the people can take away the rights of the other fourty nine. Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. PR 1:14... The United States government is designed after the empire of Rome. The three offices delivered after election, solemnized by oath, to Caesar Augustus and other subsequent rulers of that day and this day were Emperor (translated in Collin's latin dictionary, Comander in chief, the head of the army and navy), 'Principas Civitas' (first citizen, chief executive officer of Rome a municipality, his wife would have been the first lady) and its Apo Theos (Originator of gods, ruling magistrate, appointer of justices). The Apo theos apointed all the federal or empirical judges throughout the empire. God has said, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."Exodus 20:3 The words "gods" and "God" are translated from the single word 'elohiym in the plural. 'Elohiym is defined "rulers, judges" and "occasionally applied as deference to magistrates"(Strong's Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary) while in the New Testament the word God is translated from the Greek word theos which figuratively means "a magistrate."(Strong's Greek Dictionary of the New Testament.) Bill Clinton is The commander in chief of the army, navy and air force. The United States is like the beast but it can make fire come down out of the heavens in the site of men. Bill is the chief executive officer of Washington DD a municipality. And Bill is the apo theos or originator of gods for the United States Federal Democracy. Welcome to Rome. Judges 10:14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. If you want to save the nation get out of Rome get out of Egypt. If you want to save your soul get Rome and Egypt out of your hearts and minds. Gregory at the ekklesia
