We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events. Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.

Such acts are natural, being just what society formed for, and being just as little calculated to destroy, or, in any wise impair, the "moral person," i.e. the body-politic, as the functional action of the brain, heart, lungs, or stomach is to do so to the natural living being. A republican commonwealth's acts of self-government, whether in making constitutions of government, or acting under them, are entirely functional, and not self-destructive or revoluntionary, and the mistake of supposing the states were resolved into a new state, by the voluntary and separate action of the thirteen, is alike pitiable and pernicious. If the "public conviction" that was done, was as Mr. George T. Curtis claims, brough about by Daniel Webster, that great man is to be credited with having produced our "abomination of desolation,"the war against statehood, resulting in the destruction of our glorious commonwealths! The same mental organism now exists in working order, with complete individuality, and separate mind and will. The states are not nationalized or consolidated into one. Nor are they in any respect changed in either form or substance. They still are the "union of states,"[1] <../../../../citizensoftheUSofA/post?referer=/group/citizensoftheUSofA/m\ essages%3fo%3d1%26yguid%3d208120019&use_rte=1#_ftn1> or "united states:" but it remains to be seen whether their wills are enslaveddeprived of volition!whether the union, once voluntaryis not overthrown and constrained! Whether the once "free, sovereign and independent states" are shackled!pinned together once again by the most powerful standing army, and bayonets!whether, in fine, the once proud and free commonwealths of America are remanded to their provincialism! and brought under the most heartless and unconscionable of all depotismsa corporate monarchy! "CONTINUED" NEW YORK TESTIFIES IDEM SONANSIn 1776, she, as a provincial body-politic, joined twelve others, in declaring their independence. Each was represented by her own deputies, and they were thus able to co-act in congress. Whatever was done, was by a concurrence of individual wills. In 1777, her first constitution was established, containing the following absolute declarations of sovereign rightprinciples essential to liberty, and the same yesterday, to-day and FOREVER! Considering herself to be the supplanter of British sovereignty, she declared as follows: "All powers whatever therein [i.e. in the state of New York] hath reverted to the people thereof; and this convention hath, by their suffrages and free choice, been appointed and authorized to institute and establish a government, calculated to secure the rights and liberties of the good people of this state .. "1st. This convention, therefore, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of this state, doth ordain, determine, and declare: that "no authority shall, on any pretense, whatever, be exercised over the people or members of this state, but shall as shall be derived from or granted by them." She began the century recently closed, with this declaration; and though her fundamental law has been several times reconstructed, the declaration stands now! and it will forever stand! For no authority but hers is ever to exercised on her soil! She further declares, in her present organic law of government, that "the sovereignty and jurisdiction of this state extend to all places within the boundary thereof, but the extent of such jurisdiction, over places that have been or may be ceded to the united states, shall be qualified by the terms of such cession.." [Const. of N.Y.][2] <../../../../citizensoftheUSofA/post?referer=/group/citizensoftheUSofA/m\ essages%3fo%3d1%26yguid%3d208120019&use_rte=1#_ftn2> She also declares it to be "the duty of the Governor, and all subordinate officers, to maintain and defend her sovereignty and jurisdiction." [N.Y. Rev. Stat., Ch. I., Tit. 2.] "The people of this state, in their right of sovereignty, are deemed to possess the original and ultimate property in, and to, all lands within the jurisdiction of this state; and all lands, the title of which shall fail from a defect of heirs, shall revert or escheat to the people." [Const. N.Y., Art. I., Sect. 2.] Virginia expresses it as follows: "All escheats, penalties, and forfeitures, heretofore going to the king, shall go to the commonwealth" [Const. Va.]; and Judge Kent states the American doctrine to be, that, "the state steps in place of the feudal lord, by virtue of its sovereignty, as the original and ultimate proprietor of all the lands within its jurisdiction." [All the italics and bold above are mine.] FEDERAL SITES The treatment of Uncle Sam by these high and mighty potentates, is quite consistent with their imperial words. Massachusetts and New York united states (no to the nation or government, but to the said states) sites for arsenals, forts, navy-yards, light-houses, post-offices, etc., relying on their solemnly plighted faith, not only to guaranty and secure the states, in being and acting as republics, or absolute self-governing peoples, but to use the said sites solely for the defence "and welfare" of said states. grant to the The sites of forts Warren, Lafayette, Delaware, Monroe, Moultrie, and others, are acquired and held by the united states, from the respective states in which they are situated, on conditions such as the following, in the act ceding the use and jurisdiction of the site of the Brooklyn Navy-yard: "the united states are to retain such use and jurisdiction, so long as said tract shall be applied to the defence and safety of the city and port of New York, and no longer ["defence and safety of the said state, and no longer," are the words in the Watervleit arsenal cession] . But the jurisdiction hereby ceded, and the exemption of taxation herein granted, shall continue, in respect to said property, and to each portion thereof, so long as the same shall remain property of the united states, and be used for the purposes aforesaid, and no longer" [see also statutes of Mass., June 17, 1800; June 20, 1816; April 23, 1847; April 21, 1848; May 4, 1853; Stat. Pa., April 18, 1795; Feb. 1. 1796; Stat. Va. March 1, 1821; and Stat. S.C., Dec. 19, 1805.] There are over 50 of these acts in the statutes of Massachusetts, and over 150 in those of New York. SUMMING UP THE TESTIMONY Let us now analyze and reduce the averments of fact, the statement of these august witnesses. They show conclusively: 1. That "all power is inherent in the people" of the state; and that the phrases, the "sovereign and independent body-politic," "the commonwealth," "the state," and "the people," are all used in one and the same declaration as synonymous. And, to preclude doubt, Massachusetts redeclares her sovereignty with still greater emphasis, as follows: the people of this commonwealth have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, SOVEREIGN, and INDEPENDENT state." 2. That no power ever goes out of the state, except by delegation; that all power belongs to the state as much as after delegation as before; and that delegated powers must necessarily be used, for the state, by her "substitutes and agents." 3. That all the powers in the general government are delegated by, and derived from, the "sovereign and independent bodies-politic,"that is to say, "the commonwealths" or "the states'"the people" having no political existence, or capacity for political action, except as such "bodies-politic," or "states." Said DANIEL WEBSTER: "No such thing as sovereignty of government," "is known in North America." "With us, all power is in the people." [Speech of 1833.] 4. That the said "people," "body-politic," "commonwealth," or "state" have an "inalienable and indefeasible right to institute, reform, alter, or totally change government," whenever they think proper. 5. That no authority can be existed in the state but that derived from the people thereof, i.e., from the "sovereign body-politic," "the commonwealth, "the state." The Constitution is Law in a state by her Will It follows, as will be shown more fully hereafter, that the general government or its functionaries enter Massachusetts or New York solely by her permission; that they command or control living souls or things in her territory solely for her, and by virture of her authority; and that "the united states" (not the government, except as agent or instrument of the united states) hold use and jurisdiction of sites for forts, navy-yards, etc. from her, for the sole purpose of her and her sisters' defence and safety, under her grant and subject to her conditions. The fact of state supremacy will be more plain, if we note and weigh the only act which makes the federal constitution law in Massachusetts. These are the ordaining words: "The convention, in behalf of the people of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, do assent to, and ratify the constitution." New York, and all the other original states, ordained the supreme law in the same way. The truth is, the states are sovereign, and all the institutions and rulers of the union are subordinate. The states are, as Hamilton said, the "essential component parts of the union" of states, or "the united states;" and the federal government is merely the creation, the instrument, and the subject of the states,--declaration of the Philadelphia Convention of 1866, that "the Government" has "absolute supremacy," and that both people and states alike allegiant to it, being hardly entitled to respect or refutation. Still less worthy of noticethough of far higher originis that queer figmnet or fanciful notion of Webster, Story, Curtis and Lincoln, as to the social compact united states into a state. forming the people of the Exposure of the Fallacy of New Social Compact Nay, more, this theory is so egregious a mistake, that ridicule is only disarmed by pity, while argument turns away with scorn. The very object of forming men into society, and giving them a collective capacity to act, is government. Hence, in sending in deputies to devise, in holding conventions to consider and ratify, and in electing agents and functionaries to administer, the general constitution, the states were exercising the God-given right of self-government, and doin only natural and funcitonal actsl; and were not dissolving themselves or yielding their sovereignty. Accordingly, we find no hint in ALL of American history, tending to show that the people, or the states, were in 1787 and 1788, forming society; while ALL history, and ALL the records of the country show that the were establishing government for pre-formed and pre-existent societies. So much for the Curtis, Webster, Story and Lincoln social compact, and involuntary union! Again, these pre-existent societies had, by successful revolt changed themselves from provinces to "free, SOVEREIGN, and independent states;" that is to say, they had gained the God-given right of self-government, that peculiar thing that alone distinguishes a state from a province and county. These states had this right in 1787, and then voluntarily acted with and according to it, each with her own separate will, in her own separate time, and through her own separate convention, ratifying, and as to herself, ordaining the constitution. TO BE CONTINUED . The legitimate conclusion, is obvious then, that the highest of all political obligations in a REPUBLIC, true to the social compact, allegiance, patriotism as well as the instinct of self-preservation, that if in our current climate of coercion against the states, any traitors appear, they must be those who, being citizens and subjects of states, using and implementing federal force and coercion in "levying war against THEM," or adhered to THEIR enemies, "giving them aid and comfort." Then those waging this war against the states must be "their enemies," and the citizens of states, who ASSIST such enemies, then must be Traitors???

[Art. I. § 2.] "New states may be admitted into this union." [Art. IV. § 2.] "Citizens of another state." [Art. III. § 2.] "Citizens of different states." [Ibid.] "Citizens of the same state." [Ibid.] "A state or the citizens thereof." [Ibid.] "Citizens of another state." [Amend. XI.] [2] <../../../../citizensoftheUSofA/messages%3fo%3d1%26yguid%3d208120019&use\ _rte=1#_ftnref2> On this subject, Massachusetts declares the following: "The sovereignty and jurisdiction of the commonwealth, extend to all places within the boundaries thereof; subject only to such rights of concurrent jurisdiction, as have been, or may be granted over any places ceded by the commonwealth to the united states." [See. Rev. Stat. of Mass., ed. 1836, p.56.] In Service, Gabriel Paul http://www.dayspringgatheringscircle.org <http://www.dayspringgatheringscircle.org/dayspring_library.html> Fear knocked at the door.....Faith Answered........There was no one there. Truth cannot be bought and sold, only temporarily obfuscated by falsehood.Yet all falsehood and illusion will themselves ultimately be crucified upon the cross of the omnipotent Sword of Truth when it pierces the heart in purification. There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity. Nikola Tesla I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know; the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. "History is nothing but a procession of false absolutes, a series of temples raised to pretexts, a degradation of the mind before the improbable." "War is the best way to remold society. War! Shatter society to bits. Break it apart. Then we can remold it nearer to the heart's desire. And what is our heart's desire? Collectivism." Men with great knowledge are easily enslaved if they do nothing to defend their freedom. Knowledge by itself is not power, but it holds the potential for power if we have the courage to use it as such, and therein lies our hope for the future. If we act upon this knowledge, it is an opportunity, not just to know about history, but actually to change its course. "Remember when it was give me freedom or give me death? Now it is save me from death and take my freedom, please." NOTICE : This non commercial no tender for access or use private research resource contains unpublished protected work product.
