Practical Freedom - The "Constitution" Delusion

[Note: Edited and translated into F-Prime by Frederick Mann. One of the most basic elements of NSPIC = Neuro-Semantic Political Illusion Complex is the illusion or delusion of "constitution." The pretended "constitution" is one of the primary fraudulent concepts/words on which the power of terrocrats depends. In order to collapse the power of terrocrats, a critical mass of individuals need to cure themselves from the debilitating mental disease I call NSPIC. The false notion of "constitution" is one of the main elements of NSPIC. See Martin Lindstedt's original.

The pretended "US Constitution" was supposedly "ratified" over 200 years ago. It was nothing more than a piece of paper then, and it is an even more worthless piece of paper now. It promises to define the structure of a "republican form of government." It guarantees nothing, especially now when the people who are supposed to live by and under it are incapable of living together in peace. All the falsely-called "constitution" has ever been used for is to serve as cover for political criminals (terrocrats) to convert socially common resources to their own good and as a paper idol for the foolish. [emphasis added]

The Terrocrat Fathers violated the pretended "constitution" every single time when its expressed limitations proved inconvenient. George Washington established an unauthorized national central bank to pay off Revolutionary War debts. Abraham Lincoln read into it a demand for a unity which did not exist in order to enslave free men and to free the enslaved. Franklin Delano Roosevelt ignored every single pretended "constitutional" paper protection preventing the socialistic transformation of this pretended "country" into a "welfare-warfare state." Presently we live in an Anarcho- Fascistic condition where cowardly bureaucratic terrocrats impose petty rules which they enforce mainly on naive and gullible victims. Pretty soon it will be every man for himself. So-called "constitutional scholarship" will go by the boards during the clawing for survival.

Don't believe this? Let me prove my point by going over some of the flaws that Lysander Spooner pointed out in 1870 in 'No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority,' and then show a number of other flaws which have turned out since. I'll show that throughout its history, terrocrats have seldom obeyed the silly "constitutional paper."

Inherent "Constitutional" Design Flaws
Lysander Spooner pointed out that only a few men signed the falsely-called "constitution," and that this document did not in any way bind either its signers or future generations. The first outrageous and fraudulent falsehood of the signers was calling themselves ""We, the People of the United States." James Hazel pointed out some other falsehoods in Part 1.

Since the falsely-called "constitution" pretends to set up a so-called "government" based upon the consent of "the governed," then how can it be held to apply to people presently living who never were consulted on the matter, or, if they were consulted on the matter, would probably not bother to sign it now?

Every generation must determine how to organize and structure their institutions. Right now it is doubtful that many people would agree to the so-called "Bill of Rights" if they understood its implications. The people who matter, the ones who decide the type of terrocrat system, are the ones who are the most ruthless or most willing to dominate, oppress, and exploit their victims. The power of every single tyranny or despotism depends on the support of a majority of collaborators. When a majority of the people who matter decide to overthrow the tyranny no matter what, then that tyranny is doomed. Right now we live during a period where sides are being taken in advance of the struggle to come.

In Section II of 'No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority,' Spooner shows how the payment of taxes and voting binds nobody. Paying taxes or voting for terrocrat candidates to a tyranny "established" by a false "constitution" in reality subjects nobody to a pretended "government" because the basis of terrocrat voting or taxes is brainwashing and force and this duress establishes nothing except a duty of rebellion when the force becomes sufficiently weakened. The heaviest chains are those we impose upon ourselves.

Also covered in Section II are the people who end up supporting terrocrats in general and the falsely-called "constitution" in particular: Knaves, Dupes, and Cowards. Knaves, because they see ways in which to use the terrocrats to advance their own interests, common every-day fools who because they get one vote to rob someone else out of millions cast, think they live in "the greatest country on earth," and lastly, people who know something is wrong, but are too cowardly or lazy to summon up the effort to change it.

Going on through Spooner's essay, you note that the falsely-called "constitution" pretends to give unlimited, despotic power without responsibility to falsely-called "members of Congress" to pass any pretended "legislation" they please without being held to account for it.

It is said that in the early democracies of Ancient Greece that if any do-gooder wanted to pass a so-called "law" or other infringement upon the liberties of other individuals that he had to stand on a stone block with a noose around his neck. If the so-called "law" passed, then the noose was removed. If the new item of so-called "legislation" failed, the stone block was removed. This kind of safeguard does not appear in the falsely-called "US Constitution," which supposedly grants absolute immunity from responsibility to terrocrats for their so-called "legislation" in Article 1 Section 6.

Every single pretended "lawgiver" of the Judeo-Christian heritage posted a set of so-called "laws" that were relatively easy for men of good will to obey. Moses allegedly brought down from the mountain "10 Commandments," which "Jesus Christ" is said to have simplified down to two: "Obey God by keeping his commandments and love your neighbor as much as you love yourself." These "obligations" are relatively easy and the yoke is light. So how have any terrocrats improved upon the above-mentioned "Godly legislation?" Particularly when it is observed that all the pretended "legislation" created today is for the express purpose of rewarding special interests at the expense of the rest of the population, eating out what little remains of a civilization or social fabric which took centuries to weave.

By Sections VII, VIII, and IX, Spooner is pointing out that the reason for the secret ballot is to render comfortable and secure a den of assassins and thieves. Nobody wants to be held responsible for the crimes terrocrats commit under color of their pretended "legislation." The secret ballot works to diffuse responsibility away from the voters for the "elected" terrocrats. Thus the tripod of power, responsibility and accountability is limited to one long leg of power, which can be wielded like a club, without care by the corrupt.

[The pretended "legislation" or "law" serves as the club or sword of the terrocrats; the falsely-called "constitution," as their shield.]

A sole tyrant or despot, by reason of the absolute power he holds, is held absolutely responsible for the crimes he commits and therefore can be constrained through fear of the consequences of his actions. In a pretended "democracy," the equivalent of putting all the terrocrat Charles Is and Adolf Hitlers to death for their acts of tyranny, would involve finishing off all the worthless people who "elected" or "appointed" the terrocrats to their posts. In a pretended "democracy," it is not only one head you have to chop off, but rather millions of necks must be severed in self-defense when another Charles I or Adolf Hitler is spawned by the degenerate masses who have the advantage of numbers, enabling them to out-vote the productive.

In Sections XI-XV, Spooner demolishes the notion that the pretended "oaths" of terrocrats to "uphold the constitution" are worth anything -- they might as well be "blown to the winds" -- because they are not sworn to anyone (remember the secret ballots) and nobody and nothing holds the oath-breaker to account. In the case of Southerners who had to swear a "loyalty oath," it was also because of duress; in the case of soldiers, it is an unconscionable "oath" to swear to kill or rob others based upon what terrocrat politicians say the falsely-called "constitution" says.

Sections XVI-XX covered what Spooner considered the "New World Order" of his day: international bankers and their relationship to terrocrats. The bankers get a monopoly from the terrocrats and the terrocrats get the money to buy soldiers to terrorize their victims into paying the taxes or tributes and to obey their whims. The productive efforts of the surviving "citizens," terrorized by the murder of the resistors, are used to support parasitic bankers and terrocrats. Thus the cycle continues. Money buys soldiers, soldiers extort money. Spooner considered the "American Civil War" as a tentacle of the European system of plunder to the New World, with the North taking the part of the European "aristocracy."

Of course, this view of Lysander Spooner should play well to those patriots who believe in a NWO/ZOG connection between the "federal" terrocrats and the "Federal Reserve System." However, I submit that it would be best to read the entire Spooner essay, not just the parts of it you may like. The part which should be studied most thoroughly is the portion designed to cure "constitutional" idolatry. If you care to dwell on the last part, remember that the same influences which seem to dominate today were the ones which held true yesterday; human nature hasn't changed.

"Constitutional" Promises NEVER Kept
The guarantees promised by the falsely-called "constitution" have never been kept. Not even by the drafters or Terrocrat Fathers. They broke the pretended "constitution" every single time it proved inconvenient to their nefarious intentions.

During the pretended "ratification" process, the "federalist" terrocrats used just about every dirty trick in the book to attain so-called "ratification." In so-called "Pennsylvania," they kidnapped delegates from the rural western "counties" in order to gain a "legislative quorum." In so-called "Massachusetts" and "New Hampshire the "federalist" terrocrats delayed the "ratification" process when it became apparent that the current delegates would deny "ratification." George Washington was "inaugurated" as impostor "President" in 1789 without "ratification" of so-called "North Carolina" and "Rhode Island," well before the pretended "Bill of Rights," the supposed price of "ratification," had been paid.

Alexander Hamilton, who wrote most of the 'Federalist Papers' in an effort to get the so-called "colonies" to "ratify" the falsely-called "constitution," didn't wait very long in George Washington's "administration" before establishing a "national" bank, although establishing such a bank wasn't enumerated in the stated powers of the terrocrats, nor mentioned in his 'Federalist Papers' as part of the necessary and proper functions of terrocrats. Anything to get the suckers to "ratify" the falsely-called "constitution" first, then put up with it later. Bait and switch strategies have been with us since Washington's first "term."

John Adams wasn't in "office" a year when he and his "federalist" faction dealt with criticism by passing the so-called "Alien and Sedition Acts," which directly violated the pretended "First Amendment" provisions to the falsely-called "constitution" -- "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech or of the press..."

Thomas Jefferson made the "Louisiana Purchase" on "executive," not falsely-called "constitutional authority." He was the only impostor "president" of the lot who admitted the discrepancy -- afterwards. He went ahead anyway and bought the lands from Napoleon.

Jefferson's cousin, John Marshall, the longest-serving impostor "Supreme Court chief justice," was one of the "midnight judges" "appointed" to a position by the outgoing impostor "president" John Adams. Marshall is the impostor "judge" most responsible for the truism, "The Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is." In Marbury v. Madison (1803), by a legal trick, Marshall created a power denied the falsely-called "Supreme Court" by establishing "judicial review" concerning the "constitutionality" of pretended "congressional legislation" and of "executive action." In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) this usurped power was used by Marshall to ignore the pretended "9th Amendment" and negate the pretended "10th Amendment" in favor of the Article I Section 8, "necessary and proper" phrase, thus destroying all constraints to the growth of "federal" terrocrat power. A "national" bank could be "chartered" for the care and feeding of special interests. Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) brought forth the "regulation of commerce between states" Art. I Section 8 clause which effectively destroyed all so-called "state sovereignty" under the pretext of regulating so-called "interstate commerce." John Marshall set the stage for the "interpretation" of the falsely-called "constitution" to say whatever the "Supreme Court judge-terrocrats" say it means. The terrocrats can do whatever they want if some terrocrats say it's OK -- the 'de-facto' "constitution": "Anything goes... that we can get away with."

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all." [emphasis added]

-- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

Not bad for an "officeholder" [John Marshall] under John Adams who found nothing wrong with the so-called "Alien and Sedition Acts." Doubtless, Jefferson was talking about his cousin John Marshall as the chief of a "subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric... working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day and a little to-morrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one."

Every single one of the impostor "Chief Executives," "Congresskritters" and "federal judiciary" ever since have been violating their fake "oaths of office" with impunity. The process speeded up with the tenure of the greatest (Lincoln setting up a virtual dictatorship over dissent in order to wage a so-called "Civil War" to bring back insurgents who had had enough of "federal authority"; FDR abrogating what little remained of the original "federalism" to foment socialism) and latest (some rascal popularly known as 'Slick Willy' -- a known liar and thief, a suspected rapist and murderer.)

Tear Up this Paper Idol
As long as freedom activists continue to worship the paper idol of the falsely-called "constitution," little progress can be made. Worship negates critical thought. Critical thought negates worship of the falsely-called "constitution."

What kept the falsely-called "constitution" apparently in force for so long was not the quality of that particular piece of paper, but the naivet� and gullibility of those hypnotized by it. The mental and moral composition of so-called "America" has changed and is changing dramatically -- but not for the better. So-called "America" did not have a perpetual underclass without hope for the future in 1789 or 1870. People who could not live within the framework of the pretended "constitution" had an escape valve further West, where they could escape from the pretended "law" and kill each other without collateral social damage. There is no longer a West to act as a frontier and dumping ground where both pioneer and psychotic can battle to the death to settle the issues of freedom vs. dependence, justice vs. order, good vs. evil. Now this war, this struggle, this "Kulturkampf" [culture war] must take place within the very mind of each individual, every man for himself waging a war of each against all and all against each.

1913 was a pivotal year during which the composition of the pretended "constitutional government" was twisted irrevocably. An unratified "income tax amendment" enabled terrocrat power to grow well beyond pretended "constitutional bounds" by taxing the productive to subsidize the parasite. Another pretended "amendment" stripped the pretended "states" of their responsibility of choosing their pretended "senators," opening up the floodgates to "democratic rule," as opposed to "republican representation." And the re-establishment of a centralized banking system (after a 77-year closure of such by Andrew Jackson) misnomered the "Federal Reserve," placed into the hands of special interests the power of unaccountable currency speculation and fiscal mismanagement. After 1913, wealth and privilege would be determined not by production, but by politics.

Since then, the parasitic forces destroying this "civilization" have increased. An unnecessary World War I created W.W.II, which led to an interventionist mentality on the part of upper-caste terrocrats, sending the sons of the poor as cannon-fodder to so-called "Korea," "Vietnam" and "Iraq," where they were betrayed as POWs and poisoned by the toxins of "Korporate Amerika." "New Deal" led to "Square Deal" to "Great Society" as the taxation burden was deliberately shifted from corporations to the middle classes. The pretended "Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights" to keep silent about your business by not generating records to furnish to taxtortionists were disallowed in favor of allowing shadows from the so-called "14th Amendment" to define a new right to "privacy" -- a euphemism for abortion. The ratio of mentally ill as opposed to mentally normal shot up from one in ten, to one in six, to one in four. A 1918 high school degree is now superior to an undergraduate college degree. Over one percent of the population is imprisoned, but we do not have enough prison space to jail all of the criminals, the most rapacious and predatory of which are "law-enforcement" and other terrocrats.

All this (because?) in spite of the fact that so-called "America" has more lawyers than the rest of the world combined. The terrocrats admit that average taxation for the remaining workers approaches 42%, which means the actual figure is higher. The terrocrats also admit that the fraudulent "national debt" [which the falsely-called "constitution" decrees may not be questioned] is around 6 trillion dollars, when it is actually over 30 trillion when all the terrocrats' unfunded liabilities are counted.

How has the falsely-called "US Constitution" prevented any of this? Has it not served as a screen for terrocrat wickedness, instead?

Worshipping the "constitutional" paper-god distracts you from reality. The "constitution" and "government" delusions, together with the rest of NSPIC, create the apparency of survival by idolizing unreality. However, how long can such "unreal survival" continue without an economic and social collapse?

The day may come when your survival will depend on knowing "what is," rather than wishing for "what ought to be." If you cannot and will not cultivate a frame of mind necessary to survival, then you may not survive very well. You may not even deserve survival.

So give up your worship of the paper-god of "constitutionality." What has it done for you, except allow some smarmy looters to rule over you in its name, much like the high priests of some cannibal god?

Do you really think that pagans worshipped idols of metal and stone because they were so stupid they believed the work of their hands, their creations, were greater than themselves? Of course not. Every single one of them would tell you that they were not worshipping inanimate statuary. No! The statutes represented the great god "Dagon" or "Baal" or "Molech" or "Christ," in much the same way that a piece of paper called "The Constitution" represents "Truth," or "Justice" or "The American Way."

Would it not be better for you simply to destroy the statuary and tear up the papers that bind your mind? [Cure yourself from NSPIC.] It would certainly be cheaper to not obey or support any of these impostors, whether they bear the name of "High Priest," "Reverend" or "Governor." They might not like the cessation of tribute from those who wake up to their game, but what can they do if you avoid and evade them skillfully?

So tear up in your mind the paper god known as "The Constitution" -- one of the most important words/concepts/idols on which the power of terrocrats depends.
