A Review of the Proposed Constitutional Model for the Newstates of America By Col. Curtis B. Dall Opening Comments This document was "hatched" in the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, California, under the direction of Rexford Tugwell, working with scores of collaborators for about ten years. It is largely the distillation of a book written by him, entitled, "The Emerging Constitution," published in 1974 by Harper and Row, for a small, select group of readers. It contains twelve Articles and is offered as a substitute for our time-honored, magnificent Constitution. Tugwell's document would foist upon unalerted Americans a new, deceitfully worded "Constitution" tooled up for a Police State under a Dictator! Rex Tugwell, I can readily recall, was a well-known, Far-Out Liberal of the New Deal Era, a friend of Nelson Rockefeller who, reportedly, is also much interested in the promotion of this subversive new "Constitutional Model" with its varied overtones for a Dictatorship. Just why should any group of Americans take it upon themselves to gratuitously present to the American people a NEW Constitution to replace the one which as served the country so outstandingly over the years? Why attempt to tear down and overthrow our form of government by setting up, in its place, a Soviet-type, Godless Dictatorship, depriving the Individual American of Free Enterprise and personal Liberty? Evidently, it is because a few super-rich men, devoid of loyalty to country, expect, along with some of their Satellite Corporations, to profit greatly by assisting in the development of a One-World, Socialist State which they expect to control. Their subversive planning will ultimately fail, once loyal Americans understand their monstrous plan. I have read Dr. Peter Beter's very penetrating, brilliant analysis of this proposed new Constitution, which he wrote as an aroused lawyer. This review of mine will represent the point of view of an aroused layman, emphasizing certain "key points" for those 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 here. A struggle for the advancement and well-being of Free Men, in our enlightened, Constitutional Republic. This abortive "New Constitution" pretends to follow the language of our own Constitution. Lying just beneath some sweet- sounding, misleading words, however, are potential Subversion, Malfeasance, and perhaps, Treason. Tugwell, the individual, and all sponsors of this Plan should be tried by the Courts and punished for their adjudged crimes against their country and their fellow-citizens, and the charters of all sponsoring and contributing Foundations voided. For those who, with intent, have arrogantly attempted to turn back the clock and aim to plunge us all into miserable servitude, just what punishment is adequate? These comments are made to provide a preface for my review, which follows: Preamble (a) It welcomes the future "in good order." Just what does that really mean? (b) "To create an adequate and self-repairing Government." If our 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--" Well, what would we have then? What, in contrast to that which we have now? Today, we have a noble document, far, far removed from a "concensus for Collectivism"--a dangerous phrase which we occasionally hear from Internationally-influenced speakers in their efforts to further the aims of the super-rich Corporate Socialists. The emphasis in the Preamble, and throughout, is to favor BIG Government and down-grade The People. This is the complete reverse of our own Constitution. Rights and Responsibilities Article 1. "A" Rights. Section 1. Note the "exception." Who is to define "the emergency?" Section 2. Another "exception." Also note the word, "Privileged." Section 3. This is vague, but carefully phrased. Section 5. "The Court of Rights and Responsibilities" can decide whether or not you have been guilty of "discrimination"-- This is harassment. Section 6. What determines "eligibility?" Section 8. "The practice of religion shall be privileged"-- a very dangerous statement. This could deny our present Constitutional Right to the "free exercise thereof." Section 10. Note "National Sharing Fund"--Quite a "gimmick." Section 11. Who is to define the "appropriate tests of eligibility" for education? Section 12. In referring to "compensation," the word, "just," is flagrantly omitted. A serious and ominous omission. Section 15. Who is to declare the "emergency?" Article 1 "B" Responsibilities. Section 1. "A corresponding responsibility" is vague, and could be quite dangerous. is a command. Section 6. "Fairness to all"--sounds nice, but very vague. Section 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 from assault. Section 11. Aimed to "muzzle" Retired Officers of the Armed Forces. Why. Article II. "The Newstates" Section 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. Section 2. NO. Section 3. NO. Too much "planning" (to submerge the individual.) Section 4. Note "electoral Overseer." Section 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. Section 12. Suggests a Police State. Section 13. Again, "The Boundary Commission" appears, with firm control over the "Newstates." Section 15. Looks very much like a Police State set up. A club over the "Newstates" wielded by the "Watchkeeper." Article III. The Electoral Branch Section 1. This is something new for greater control over the people. Section 4. Note, "Recognition by the Overseer." Section 5-8. "The Overseer shall promulgate rules for party conduct..." Section 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." Sounds, again, like a Police State. Article IV. The Planning Branch Section 1. "There shall be a Planning Branch to formulate and administer plans and to prepare budgets..." Evidently, the individual is not expected to do any planning on his own account. His "day" is supposed to be over. Section 2. "National Planning Board of 15 members appointed by the President for terms of one to 15 years...the president shall appoint a Chairman to serve for 15 years." Quite an important appointment. Section 5. "...(these plans) to represent national intentions tempered by the appraisal of possibilities." This is intentionally vague; a form of "Soviet-type" Regimentation, pointing to a loss of Freedom for the Individual. "National life," is a reference to a "Super State." Section 8. More Regimentation. Section 9. "There shall be submissions..." This is to control, or actually kill Free Enterprise: the destruction of personal liberty. Section 10. "Violations...shall be at the risk of the venturer, and there shall be no recourse..." This is a pure Police State set-up.. Section 14. This is intended to be far-reaching and is very dangerous. It is a well-concealed "Give-Away" to help promote "International Agencies." It amounts to a "Blank Check" for Foreign Aid. Article V. The Presidency. Chancellor of Financial Affairs... Here is great power, not spelled out, but a sort of "Blank Check." Emphasis is on foreign nations, but no reference as to how we can improve our present bankers' system of privileged thievery of national assets. No mention at all. Very dangerous and quite unacceptable, to even contemplate. Chancelor of Military Affairs...very dangerous: "emergency" appears, again. Section 10. "Treaties or agreements with other nations, negotiated under the President's authority, shall be in effect unless objected to by a majority of the senate within ninety days." Too much power in the hands of the President. He is to be the strong man. Section 11. This means complete control--so necessary for a Dictator. Section 13. "There shall be a Public Custodian, appointed by the President, who shall have charge of properties belonging to the government...building, construction and rentals..." (and may have other duties). The familiar "blank check" treatment, again. Section 14. There "Shall be an Intendant" to supervise Offices for Intelligence and Investigation also "an Office of Emergency Organization." The "Intendant will also "charter non- profit Corporations or Foundations" for useful public purposes" ... "exempt from taxation." Useful to whom? Why exempt from taxation? Firm Regimentation. Section 15. "The Intendant shall ... be a counselor for the coordination of scientific and cultural experiments and for studies within the government and elsewhere." Note that word, "elsewhere." Article VI. The Legislative Branch. "A" The Senate Section 1. Note "if they so desire"...Who are "they?" All hand picked from a top group around the President. Section 2. Retirement can be voluntary. Life membership. Section 3. "...elect as presiding officer a Convener" "for two years" Section 4. A quorum will be 60% or more. Section 6. "The Senate may ask advice from the Principal Justice concerning the constitutionality of measures before it." Section 8. "In time of present or prospective danger caused by cataclysm, by attack, or by insurrection, the Senate may declare a national emergency" "and may authorize the President to take appropriate action. If the Senate be dispersed, and no quorum available, the President may proclaim the emergency..." When the Senate is dispersed would be a good time for the President to declare an "emergency." Section 10. Note the word, "abroad." This is more veiled international meddling in other nations' affairs to further the financial interests of the wealthy International Political Capitalists and their large industrial satellites. Section 11. "The Senate shall elect, or may remove, a National Watchkeeper (who)...shall gather and organize information concerning the...competence and integrity of governmental agencies and their personnel, as well as their continued usefulness...and suggest the need for new and expanded services...The Convener shall present the Watchkeeper's findings to the Senate." Very fancy! Article VI. The legislative Branch. "B" The House of Representatives. Section 1. "The House of Representatives shall be the original law-making body of the Newstates of America." Section 2. "It shall be a duty to implement the provisions of this constitution..." d. "To assist in the maintenance of economic stability, the President may be authorized to alter rates by executive order." This clearly bears the mark of a contemplated Dictatorship. 5. Very wide-sweeping and vague, but all-encompassing. 8. This is also very "fancy" and far-reaching. What is "world order" and who determines it? Here again, the benefit is for a wealthy few who are to be groomed to be our appointed World Policemen. The people are to bear the great expense of this treasonous policy aimed at the destruction of the freedom- loving people of this country. 10. This is clearly meddling in other nations' affairs so that some Super Capitalists can thereby extract a profit. This is sheer, self-serving socialist nonsense on an international level to help the international-type Rockefeller- Group-controlled corporations. 11. Vague, of course, and dangerous. Who defines "adequate" and "equal?" 13. Notice how quietly the word, "archives," appears? Yes, keep the public in the dark. Police State technique. We want none of it. 15. "To conserve natural resources by purchase...or by regulation. 16. This is very dangerous and could readily become confiscatory in character. 18. What is "adequate?" 19. "To provide for the maintenance of armed forces." This most important matter is covered in only eight words. No mention of "adequate" armed forces. No indication as to what way the forces are to be organized and developed. This is a deliberate, crafty, "brush-off" for hidden, deceitful reasons. Article VII The Regulatory Branch Section 3. Note that the "Big Boys" will be immune on account of size. This is the planned "apparatus" of a Dictator. Does the "guiding hand" of Rex Tugwell's friend, Nelson Rockefeller show here? Section 7. It will be necessary to "play ball" with "The Regulator." Section 8. A labyrinth of Rules. Section 9. What about the interest of the citizens, which appears to be deliberately over-looked? Section 10. This means FOOD--and don't forget that very effective "tool," called "Rationing." Section 11. More and More Rules. Section 12. Still more Rules! Article VIII. The Judicial Branch Section 1. Quite a galaxy of Courts on the National level. Pity an abused citizen--he could readily become a "non- person," as in Soviet jargon. Section 14. "The Supreme Court may decide: c. Whether international law...has been ignored or violated." Here, the Principal Justice is the real boss, along with the Judiciary Council. Article IX General Provisions Section 1. Apparently the Congress will define the qualifications of Citizenship. Mr. Tugwell has wandered much too far. Section 2. Here, again, the emphasis is in Government, not the Individual. Section 3. "The President may negotiate for the acquisition of areas outside..." What say the People? Section 4. This is indeed fancy Dictator stuff. Section 5. They must be afraid of the people's reaction to insist on a "blank check" to say what-ever they desire to say, true or otherwise. Section 7. This the mark of Big, central government. Article X Governmental Arrangements Section 2. These are the "top dogs" in a Centralized Socialist State set-up, far removed and different from what we now have. Section 6. Who is "protecting" the People from them? Article XI Amendments Section 1. It is admitted here, by "Tugwell and Company," that there may be "deficiencies" in this constitution, but any unfavorable "interpretations" of it are precluded. A Dictator will, naturally, institute all "changes." Section 2. Twenty-five years, in this case, would be a very long time. The People--not the "Judicial Council" should suggest new amendments. This is a slick, deceitful section, made to "read good" but to enhance so-called "managerial competence"--a tricky phrase. Also, it is a slap at our own Constitution, in referring to the word "interpretation." I wonder, why do we need a New Constitution and New Amendments to correct "deficiencies?" If our own Constitution needs any trimming, let the People reflect their considered views concerning it--and not, as in Tugwell's "monstrocity," have a Tyrannical, Godless Dictatorship foisted upon us to further establish and enrich the One World Corporate Socialists. Article XII Transition Section 1. Referendum, in itself, if conducted honestly, is a reasonable procedure, but it can readily become the "tool" of deceitful sponsors for their self-serving purposes. Section 4. "The President"--so-called, to hide a more frank title. Section 5. Note the words, "adjustments" and "disputes." We know that our forebears gave much time and great thought to this identical matter between 1778 and 1789. Could it be that the observations provided by Mr. Tugwell and his numerous colleagues in the mis-named "Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions" does not go back that far? Section 6. Here "the cart" is deliberately placed before "the horse"--meaning that Freedom and Liberty should properly start with the People. Be alerted, Fellow Citizens. Section 7. This is a very dangerous situation which could occur in the area of so-called "Transition" because it could be deliberately "bogged down." An aspiring Dictator could create a chaotic situation in this country which would play directly into his hand. Ponder this. Section 8. Here we go again. Hurry, hurry, hurry--to fool the people. Section 10. This is a clear picture of "Strong-Arm" Dictatorial methods. Comply--or else! Section 11. In this the President is given a free hand to delete appropriate parts of this Article by mere proclamation. Just what does "appropriate" mean? Who determines this? Historically, this whole Tugwell promotion is not new at all. It points to the oldest kind of government in the world's history--One Man Rule--but on a world-wide scale. Informed sources have stated that talented scholars, who look for avenues of power, are often "acquired" by the sons of billionaires to show them how their immense wealth can be directed so that they can rule the world. In this instance, let's give Rex Tugwell due credit. This program has been made possible by deliberate and successful attacks made on our time-honored Constitution by Dictator-minded "One Worlders" to confuse bemused citizens and purported "Representatives" on Capitol Hill and in our various State Governments. Many feel that the most appropriate and effective way to confront Tugwell and the leading collaborators of this proposed subversive "Constitution" would be via the scaffold. It is high time to "clean house" and reset our belabored Ship of State on a sound, constructive course. Let the "chips" fall where they may. CONCLUDING COMMENTS I have said before, this subversive "New Constitution" is not new at all. History's pages portray the oldest form of government known to man as "One Man Rule." The main thrust of Tugwell's deceitful document makes one realize that a few, ruthless, misguided men of great wealth have lost all social and civic balance due to their possessing a vast call upon real wealth, through the medium of exchange called "money." They should be hauled before the courts and punished for subversion, possible malfeasance, and even treason. Fellow Citizens, if your American Citizenship, and thus, your sovereignty, is not worth defending, at all costs--as something of great value; a shining heritage handed down to you by the bold efforts of your enlightened ancestors--then you and I, with our families, will continue our rapid descent on the internationalist-constructed toboggan slide to obscurity. We have been unsuspectingly placed on this slippery slide by cunning One-World-Order Forces. Today, in our Nation's Bi-Centennial Year, you and I should ponder this deeply. I say it is high time to "clean house," in and out of government; to clean out, by all legal means, the subversive elements of One-World-Order ideology, brought here from abroad; the, build anew. We can do it, and we must. However, to survive as Free Men, as the masters of our individual destiny, we should adhere, strictly, to the Articles of our matchless Constitution. Let's get started. Although many Americans have been brainwashed via the intensive down-grading mis-education program foisted upon us by a few wealthy Corporate Socialists to alter our form of government for their profit, by control of monetary policies, vast raw materials, and even peoples' lives, we must boldly confront this sinister threat and ACT. Repulse this secretive, well-financed wave of Subversion before it becomes too late to act. I recall that my Father-in-Law, Franklin Roosevelt, once stated, "Nothing happens in Politics by chance. If it happens, it was planned that way." Hence, looking closely at this Tugwell Constitution "Thing," it did not just "happen" overnight. Far from it. What individuals secretly planned and financed it for their Dictatorial Objectives? Dare we ignore such a subversive ideological onslaught coming from a non-elected, self-appointed group? Certainly not. Are we to listen, abjectly, to the honeyed words of "Front Man" Tugwell, the leading "Monday morning Quarter-Back" on "The Center's" team for civic planning, as we observe his efforts to pick purported "holes" in our revered Constitution? Certainly not. We must draw the battle lines, today. In so doing, let us recall that, in San Antonio, during the historic battle of the Alamo, Colonel Travis lay on a pallet, severely wounded, after days of sustained attack by vastly superior enemy forces. Drawing a line with his saber on the dirt floor of the Alamo, he said to his small force of heroic defenders, gathered about him, "All those who wish to stay with me and continue to fight, step this side of the line. Those who wish to depart, may do so now." Texas history proudly states that all of the Alamo's defenders stepped to Col. Travis' side of the line--to fight for Liberty. Americans can take great pride in recalling that famous war cry, "Remember the Alamo!" They can also say, referring to Greek history, "Thermopylae had its messenger of defeat; the Alamo had none." Let us keep that faith. Let us confront and put to route these Misguided Imposters. Today, every American should "step this side of the line" to defend and restore their splendid heritage now being eroded by subversive Parasites and International Financiers. Fellow Citizens, "Remember the Alamo! Step this side of the Line!" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION FOR THE 'NEWSTATES OF AMERICA' An analysis by E. Stanley Rittenhouse This new constitution would replace the present U.S. Constitution and would dissolve the States as we know them into Newstates, "each comprising no less than 5 percent of the whole population." This new constitution with its regional government would bring about an oligarchy at the expense of our Constitutional Republic. This form of dictatorship that is planned for America would bring into even more prominence and power the crowd who wants a "New World Order." This proposed constitution is, in itself, a vehicle for the transition from our proven, tried and true, divinely-ordained Constitution to the New World Order that man, in his own efforts, hopes to impose upon mankind. 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 our 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 would end. The Newstates of America Constitution is merely a form of the old in order to pacify those still remembering the liberty that is 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 only 25 years and that many opportunities are provided to revise and rewrite it in those years, indicates the role of transition. Article XI, Section 2 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 1: "If rejected (that which they proposed), it may be restudied and a new proposal submitted." So evidently, it is not possible for the people to totally reject that which the appointed Principal Justice and that which the appointed Senate proposes. The word "emergency" appears frequently in the proposed Constitution but is never mentioned in our 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. Much of the language is vague leaving it wide open to various interpretations--and of course the ones in power would control the courts as our judicial system would be restructured to favor the continuance of power. This would be accomplished by eliminating the present checks and balances so established within the present Constitution. The legislative, judicial and executive branches would be replaced with six branches, all designed and structured to perpetuate those in power. Article XII spells out clearly the awesome dictatorial power that will be put into the hands of a few. Section 1 states: "The President is authorized to assume such powers, make such appointments, and use such funds as are necessary to make this Constitution effective as soon as possible after acceptance by a referendum he may initiate." Section 4 says, "the president shall cause to be constituted an appropriate commission to designate existing laws inconsistent with this Constitution, and they shall be void." The new order would bring about land use--the federal control or "use" of private property. (And we all know there can be no human rights without property rights!) The Newstates Constitution declares: "No property shall be taken without compensation." By leaving the word "just" out, the compensation becomes very arbitrary and the final decision would rest with the government. Article VI, B, Section 16, states: "To acquire property and improvements for public use at costs to be fixed, if necessary, by the Court of Claims." The Court of Claims will be made up of appointees. In order for the One-Worlders to maintain themselves in power, the key positions would be filled by appointees with the authority as well as the power being given to these unelected bureaucrats. Such officials as the Overseer, the Watchkeeper, the National Regulator, the Intendant, the Principal Justice and his appointed members of all national courts, the Public Custodian, the chairman of the National Planning Board, Chancellors of External, Financial, Legal & Military Affairs and the appointed Senate, to name a few will be the unelected. This approach would tend to continually bring to power only those of like mind. This is completely contrary to the attitude and approach our Founding Fathers had back in 1789 when writing the U.S. Constitution. Their concern was with the individual, his life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; certainly not with an obsession of bringing more power to themselves and perpetuating themselves in power. The fact that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely still applies today as it did then and should make us eternally vigilant against such a trend ever developing toward absolute power. Article I, Section 1, states: "Freedom of expression of communication, of movement, of assembly or of petition shall not be abridged except in declared emergency." In other words, all freedom is dependent upon whether the government would declare an emergency or not. But freedom is a right not to be revoked; they make it a privilege and at the mercy of their whim. This would be government by men, not by law. As this constitution states throughout, so much is dependent on certain conditions which can be determined at a later date, "Except in declared emergency;" "except in the interest of national security;" "Existing states may continue and may have the status of Newstates if the Boundary Commission, hereinafter provided, shall so decide;" "except they be approved;" "unless authorized;" "shall conform to his regulation;" etc., all point out that the form of government proposed by this document would be very arbitrary and dictatorial with the individual being forced to yield to his government. The result would be very little individual liberty. Article I, B, Section 8 would establish federal gun control and at the same time the dissolution of our 2nd Amendment which guarantees the citizen the right to bear arms. This proposed new government would control the elections. Political parties would need the approval of the Overseer and elections would be controlled by controlling the spending; this, in turn, would control the legislature. The club of Revenue Sharing would also be in effect. "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 recommendations of the Watchkeeper, to forfeit revenues for the Newstates of America." (Art II, Sec 15). This new constitution establishes the President with a term of nine years. This would make the government still less accountable to the people. There no longer would be a competitive, free-enterprise system but a "planned economy." And the planners would be appointed by the President. This constitution would seek to dictate that the interests of America not be put first. Article IV, Section 13 & 14 declares: "In making plans, there shall be due regard to the interests of other nations and such cooperation with their intentions as may be approved by the Board. "There may also be cooperation with international agencies and such contributions to their work as are not disapproved by the President." In regard to taxes, the President would be the tax czar, a virtual dictator. "To assist in the maintenance of economic stability, the President may be authorized to alter rates by executive order." Article VI, B, Section 9d. The economic dictatorship is also promoted in Article VII, the Regulatory Branch, Section 1 declares that the "National Regulator...shall make and administer rules for the conduct of all economic enterprises." But "they" always look out for their own. Section 3 states: "Under procedures approved by the Board, the Regulator shall charter all corporations or enterprises except those exempted because of size or other characteristics, or those supervised by the Chancellor of Financial affairs, or the intendant..." One wonders what characteristics would be sufficient to escape the hand of the Regulator? Section 10: "The Regulator shall make rules for and shall supervise marketplaces for goods and services." The law of supply and demand would come under the heel of the bureaucrat. The free-enterprise system that has provided the prosperity and level of living that is the envy and standard of the world would be abandoned by these international-socialists promoting the scheme and conspiracy of a socialistic, dictatorial economic system that has proven throughout the history of mankind, to be disfunctional, non-workable and a total failure. Why, you may ask? This whole document and what it represents is a move toward a centralization of power so that the few may control the many. "The President may make agreements with OTHER ORGANIZED PEOPLES for a relation OTHER THAN FULL MEMBERSHIP in the Newstates of America. They may become citizens and may PARTICIPATE IN THE SELECTION OF OFFICIALS. They may RECEIVE ASSISTANCE for their development or or from the National Sharing Fund if they conform to its requirements; and they may serve in civilian or military services, BUT ONLY AS VOLUNTEERS. They shall be REPRESENTED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY MEMBERS ELECTED AT LARGE, their number proportional to their constituencies; but each shall have at least one; and each shall in the same way choose one permanent member of the Senate." The [capitalized] emphases are added and they speak for themselves. This document would put America at the mercy of the United Nations by recognizing U.N. agreements on par with our treaties (Article VIII, Section 14c). This would open the door to the Genocide Treaty with evils too numerous to list here. When a government is highly centralized, it is also highly vulnerable. It is an efficient structure for takeover by a determined minority. When there is decentralization and the power of the government truly rests with its citizens, to capture a part only provides a threat to the whole but does not necessarily mean a total loss. This system of checks and balances which we enjoy under the U.S. Constitution provides the opportunity of correcting the wrong, throwing the rascals out and preserving the Union. The name itself says it all, the United States of America, not a collection of federal regions controlled and run by the unelected elite. In diversification of authority and power, there is security. States' rights themselves provide that service and when united in a Union provide a formidable structure against attack from without and subversion from within. To weaken that structure, the states and their rights must be dissolved. The Newstates (regions) and this infamous constitution would weaken the Union and make us vulnerable to these vultures who want America for their own. Certain powerful forces hope to replace the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution by their own dictatorship--a cleverly disguised dictatorship. It has been planned to resemble superficially the government we have now, so that we will not recognize it for what it is--until too late. They are using every propaganda trick at their command to make us lower our guard. For years they have been working through groups too numerous to list, orchestrating their efforts to force a "New Constitution" on us while the people of America slumber, unaware of what is happening. In 1964 a tax-exempt foundation, the far left, internationalist "Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions," an offshoot of the multibillion dollar Ford Foundation, began writing a "New Constitution." It took ten years and hundreds of thousands of tax-free dollars to write. The final version was prepared under the leadership of Rexford G. Tugwell, well-known in the 1930's as one of FDR's "brain- trusters." The "Newstates Constitution" is a blueprint for the slavery of the American people. It is a document you should know and understand to comprehend the conspiracy that powerful forces in America have entered into in order to snap the manacles of an international dictatorship on the arms and legs of America. This 32-page document contains, in addition to the complete text of the "Newstates Constitution," a review by Col. Curtis B. Dall, Chairman of Liberty Lobby, and a commentary by E. Stanley Rittenhouse, Liberty Lobby's Legislative Aide. Colonel Dall is a former investment banker who has been connected with the federal banking-political complex at the highest levels. He is also a well-known author and lecturer. ================================================================= L I B E R T Y L O B B Y (202) 546-5611 300 Independence Ave., S.E. Washington, D.C. 20003
