The War Powers of Government: America is Under Emergency Rule

This country went under the War Powers for the last time on March 9, 1933, and we have been under emergency rule ever since.

This information is going to turn many of you on your ear. Its going to make you mad, as it should — as I hope it does.

Let me ask you a question. Why do you think our president, the Congress, the courts and the federal government as a whole are descending into unlawful dictatorial usurpation of power with no hint of accountability or recompense? Why is the Executive office of a man of lawlessness able to fundamentally change our nation from a Constitutional Republic into a Marxist/Communist dictatorship? Why can he and his handlers transform our once just nation under the Rule of Law into a nation of lawlessness and rebellion, unrestrained?

I'll tell you why. And no, it assuredly didn't start with the current Obama regime, or even the Bush, Clinton or Reagan regimes. No, it started way, way before.

It started with the War Powers.

Let's take a trip down the memory hole of history to discover — some of you for the very first time — the foundational pieces set in place in a giant game of chess in order to checkmate the American people and subject us and our future posterity to a life of indentured servitude. In this article I will attempt to lay out the actions taken by our government which define all American citizens as enemy combatants under the federal system known as the UNITED STATES CORPORATION.

Our nation has been bankrupt since 1867 with the Reconstruction Acts, and the bankruptcy has been renewed ever since. Following that, the Organic Act of 1871, "an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia," effectively made our federal government into a corporation, and that was the first sweeping violation of the Constitution of the United States of America, and an open act of treason by our federal government against the People. However, we're going to focus on more recent events, and connect the dots of the present to the past.

Emergency Powers Statutes

Senate Report 93-549, entitled EMERGENCY POWERS STATUTES: Provisions of Federal Law Now In Effect Delegating To The Executive Extraordinary Authority In Time of National Emergency, was issued on November 19, 1973, by the Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency pursuant to Senate Resolution No. 9 — 93rd Congress, 1st Session.

From the foreword of Senate Report 93-549:

"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971. These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners."

From the introduction of Senate Report 93-549, Section A - A BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE ORIGINS OF EMERGENCY POWERS NOW IN FORCE:

"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency . . . in the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crises have — from, at least, the Civil War — in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency."

Again from the Foreword:

"This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes. Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."

These treasonous words, which levy war upon the American people, come directly from our government's own document. James Madison said that, "War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits." Where did we go wrong? I'll tell you where.

Dr. Eugene Schroder, the preeminent expert on this subject, found the key to why our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights are violated on a daily basis with no adherence to the law. It is the insidious use of "Emergency Powers" meant to be used only in time of invasion or rebellion. His landmark research is documented in three books: Constitution: Fact or Fiction; War and Emergency Powers Special Report; and War, Central Planning and Corporations - The Corporate State.

Watch Dr. Eugene Schroeder's speech on the War and Emergency Powers Act before the Wallace Institute at Santa Clara, California, in June of 1998: Part 1, and Part 2; also, his unforgettable May 3, 1995 broadcast on The Hour of the Time regarding the War Powers of Government.

Dr. Schroder proved with the government's own documents that the Constitution has been set aside since 1933, and thereby effectively nullified. Eleven presidents, both Democrat and Republican, have used emergency powers for the last 81 years — through Executive Orders, Presidential Proclamations, or through their many federal agencies — to regulate our daily lives without the inconvenience of Congressional approval. The definition of "emergencies" has been stretched to include economic problems, social imbalances, and perceived threats to the United States by any foreign nation's actions, even those on other continents far removed from our own.

American People Declared Enemies of the State

The cited report began on March 9, 1933, when our country was placed under a declared state of national emergency by the United States Congress. All 48 states approved the War and Emergency Powers Act based on a financial crisis. In order to do that, the Congress amended an Act of October 6, 1917, called the Trading With the Enemy Act.

Upon the amending of that act, the American people and all of their financial transactions were declared to effectively be enemy transactions. And under this act the office of the President of the United States was granted total authoritarian control over every aspect of our economy.

Simply put, this act illegally transformed the presidency into a dictatorship.

It is critically important that we all understand this. What is even more critical to understand is to go back in history and find out specifically where the Trading With the Enemy Act came from.

Alien and Sedition Acts

The Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, originated in an act of 1798. That act was called the Alien and Sedition Acts, which was the product of the northern Federalist industrialists (who were allied with Great Britain) declaring economic warfare on the Anti-Federalist agrarian southerners (who were allied with France).

This Act said amongst other things that the French were enemies of the United States, and declared that any Frenchman who was doing business within the United States was an enemy of the State, and that the president would assume legal control over those transactions.

It also went so far as to say that any person who gave aid and support to a Frenchman was also an enemy of the United States. So it was due to the passing of the Alien and Sedition Acts that many of the Anti-Federalist agrarian southerners were retroactively made to fall under the parameters of enemies of the United States, and were placed under the executive war powers that were under the pretense of the war between France and Great Britain.

So you see, very early on in the United States, even shortly after the signing of the Constitution, these Acts were implemented which — at the stroke of a pen — criminalized otherwise law-abiding American citizens by association, and forfeit their private property for federal seizure by illegitimate retroactive legalization. It is extremely perilous when a governing body can declare an ethos, race, or nationality an enemy of the State with no due process of law.

The U.S. Supreme Court did this in the 1857 case, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, when it declared that negroes were not human beings. And its even worse when the same governing body levies war upon its own citizens who have done business with whatever group it deems to be dangerous to its foreign and domestic policy.

It is dangerous when a president acting under executive War Powers can execute total authoritarian control over a people, and write criminal statutes defining what they can and can't do financially, and if they have violated these statutes whatsoever, punish them criminally under those acts.

And it was because of this treason that our country nearly went into a civil war directly following these Acts which were installed right after the passage of the Constitution.

The Kentucky Resolutions

Thomas Jefferson's writings in the Kentucky Resolutions, which were written in November of 1798, dealt specifically with the emergency War Powers that were implemented for the very first time in this country via the Alien and Sedition Acts.

The following excerpt of the Resolutions were proposed to the Kentucky Legislature, and this version was adopted on November 10, 1798, as a protest against the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by Congress. Thomas Jefferson did not make known to the public the fact that he authored them until years later.

This represents one of the clearest expressions of his views on how the Constitution was supposed to be interpreted.

Resolutions 1 and 2:

1. Resolved, That the several States composing, the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes — delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral part, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.

2. Resolved, That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations, and no other crimes, whatsoever; and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” therefore the act of Congress, passed on the 14th day of July, 1798, and intituled “An Act in addition to the act intituled An Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States,” as also the act passed by them on the — day of June, 1798, intituled “An Act to punish frauds committed on the bank of the United States,” (and all their other acts which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution,) are altogether void, and of no force; and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and, of right, appertains solely and exclusively to the respective States, each within its own territory.  

Read the full text here.

Analyzing what Jefferson was saying on behalf of the state of Kentucky in these resolutions was that the fundamental basis for the federal government passing the Alien and Sedition Acts was the defining of crimes against the United States, punished by the executive branch of the federal government. These crimes identified by the federal government were not included in the four crimes in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. Because, you see, every single criminal power over which is granted to the federal government is defined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.

As a further check and balance, the Tenth Amendment clarifies: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The Tenth Amendment, the great high wall built around a central government, was known to the Constitutional Convention as the "Quarantine Amendment." The state of Massachusetts, whose delegates felt that the restraint of the federal government was paramount, would not join the United States unless the Tenth Amendment was accepted as part of the Bill of Rights.

Legal Federal Criminal Powers

This is precisely what Jefferson and the state of Kentucky were talking about when they issued these Resolutions. They enumerated that the federal government can only legally preside over four criminal powers. And those are:

1. The power to punish treason. 

2. Counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States. 

3. Piracies and felonies committed on the high seas. 

4. Offenses against the laws of nations.

And they have no other criminal power whatsoever under the Constitution. So therefore, when the federal government implemented these acts and granted itself new jurisdictional powers over other actions it declared to thenceforth be illegal, was essentially the initiation of a dictatorship at the highest office of the federal government of the United States: the Executive office.

It goes without saying, then, that any federal crime that is outside the scope of the four enumerated powers listed above, which are the ONLY crimes granted the federal government to preside over — Article I, Section 8, which has never been amended nor repealed — are totally outside the authority of the Constitution and are being implemented under the Trading With the Enemy Act of March the 9th of 1933.

And that law is now permanently codified in 12 U.S. Code § 95b - Ratification of acts of President and Secretary of the Treasury, under which the president was granted the power to issue any executive order he wished, and those executive orders would be automatically approved and confirmed by the Congress.

So, with the amending of the Trading With the Enemy Act, the president was given broad executive power to wage war on the American people, and that brings us to May the 18th, 1934. On that date, the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, issued a message to the Senate on the perceived menace of the uncontrolled manufacture of arms and munitions. And in this message, Roosevelt told the Senate that they had to have the power to create crimes against certain predetermined federal organizations and agencies as a pretext for what he did next.

Theft of the Legal Money System

Also on March 9, 1933, FDR presided over the introduction of the treasonous Emergency Banking Relief Act, which declared a four-day bank holiday that shut down the banking system of the nation using economic stabilization as a ruse to steal America's wealth through fraud. Passed during the fallout of the Great Depression — which was engineered by the Federal Reserve's private shareholders — the Act broadened the powers of the President and greatly expanded presidential authority during just about any cobceivable crisis.

Not even one month later, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933, which retroactively criminalized the possession of monetary gold by any individual, partnership, association or corporation, "forbidding the Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States," and "Requiring Gold Coin, Gold Bullion and Gold Certificates to Be Delivered to the Government." Remember that whoever owns the gold makes the rules.

Contrary to this illegal act, the Constitution, in Article I, Section 10, states explicitly that, "No state shall . . . emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts."

On May 18, 1934, the same day on which he wrote the Senate, Roosevelt also issued Statement 88 on Signing the Crime Bill, which the need to sign a bill that would empower the federal government to wage a war on organized crime and gangsters.

The War on Crime

That's right, on May 18, 1934, under the newly-granted executive power of the war powers, the president declared war on crime. And it was under this war on crime that the federal statutes began to infiltrate the states, identifying sweeping new lists of federal crimes.

Here are a few:

1. An amendment to the federal kidnapping statute to provide for the death penalty in the event of the injury of the victim.

2. A statute punishing the transmission of extortion threats in any form of interstate communications.

3. A statute making it a federal offense for a person to flee from one state to another to avoid prosecution of certain felonies.

4. A statute punishing the receipt of stolen goods.

5. An Act punishing the robbery of national banks, which is among the crimes written about in the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts.

6. A statute requiring registration of all rifles, machine guns, and sawed-off shotguns. Here we see that it was now declared a federal crime unless law-abiding American citizens registered their firearms.

Recall the Ruby Ridge incident at the Weaver family's home. That siege and subsequent murder of Randy Weaver's 13-year-old son Sammy and wife Vicki, who was holding their 10-month-old baby daughter Elisheba, began with an alleged sawed-off shotgun that was supposedly one quarter of an inch too short to fall under federal regulations and federal criminal statutes.

Also, if we recall the Waco massacre, we remember that the Branch Davidians were initially being investigated because they allegedly had machine guns and machine guns parts on the premises that were not registered, even though their county sheriff had personally inspected and verified that no illegal weapons were on the premises.

Both of those federal violations originated from the war on crime under the War Powers of 1933, and were implemented in May of 1934.

7. A statute and an Act making it a federal offense to assault a federal officer. 

8. An Act authorizing agents of the Department of Justice to carry firearms.

Here we see the state criminal police power relinquishing to the federal criminal police power, all under the war on crime.

9. An Act to protect certain types of trade and commerce against intimidation and racketeering. 

10. Various statutes for improving the outworn and archaic federal criminal procedures.

Here we see the statutes being passed, which allow for the federal criminal jurisdiction to come within the states. But also very important is a statute, "...granting congressional consent to any two or more states that enter into agreements or compacts for the prevention of crime."

This whole war on crime and this whole federal criminal jurisdiction is critically important under the War Powers, because most of the citizens across the country are beginning to realize that the People and the states are being treated as if they were regions or territories of the federal government. Its almost as though they were corporations of the District of Columbia, and the federal government is using its declared executive War Powers to restrict the liberties of the people within the states, criminalizing natural human behavior with hundreds — if not thousands — of new criminal federal statutes.

And just as Jefferson reminded everyone in the Kentucky Resolutions, there were — and currently are — only FOUR criminal actions that the federal government can legally punish.

Yet, today we see that under the so-called "war on crime" and the War Powers, the beginning of a long list that defines many, many new federal crimes, and making it now possible for the federal agents who act as the federal police force to carry firearms and ammunition, in order to enforce these new criminal statutes.

I'm going to tie this whole thing together now.

The Pretext for Implementation

In speaking of the three key points, the War Powers, the war on crime, and the federal criminal jurisdiction, it is imperative to acknowledge what the federal government used as a pretext to bring it all in.

It is now important to understand the interstate compact agreements and the interstate compact acts. If we go to those acts, we have to go to June 6, 1934. We also have to go to our Constitution at Article I, Section 10, which is the prohibition against the states:

No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything 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.

No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.

No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.

The exceptionary clause would come into effect only if we were invaded, or if we were in imminent dangers as would not admit of delay. We also must realize that on March the 4th of 1933, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated as President of the United States, in his inaugural address he said he would ask for the War Powers that would be given to him, which would be just as great as if our nation were in fact invaded by a foreign enemy. And, as requested, on March the 9th of 1933 — only five days after FDR's inauguration — via Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 48, Statute 1, Congress delegated those powers to him under the Trading with the Enemy Act, or what was known earlier as the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Section 48, Statute 1 of this Act of March 9, 1933 is the exact same wording as Title 12, USC 95(b) quoted earlier, proving that we are still under emergency rule in a declared state of national emergency.

Sovereign States Become Federal Corporations

With this wartime decree, states could now enter into compacts with other states. And if we go back now to this war on crime, one of the federal statutes that was granted to do this was the authority from Congress for the states to enter into compacts for the prevention of crime, and for other purposes. As a result, the states began to enter into interstate compacts, all under the authority of the federal government. Once that happened — first to prevent crime, then later to do anything and everything, down to and including the uniform motor vehicle safety codes, environmental river basin water agreements, and every other code and compact that completely permeates the federal and state governments — they were now no longer individual sovereign states. They were now regions comprised of compacts of states that fell under the authority of federal statutes.

They were in essence federal corporations. And once they entered into the federal corporate status, then immediately the federal criminal statutes came over those states, and the jurisdiction of the federal police power was installed within the states. The exact same thing happened in 1798 when the Alien and Sedition Acts were imposed by the federal government and all those federal criminal statutes were passed onto the states in exactly the same condition.

As Mark Twain rightly observed, history may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

The reason that all of this is so critically important is because it is these very issues that caused in this country the Revolutionary War. It was this very same issue that caused the Civil War. It was this very same issue that caused the war levied against the People in 1933, which imposed this War Power government over us, and has ruled over us ever since.

And if We the People cannot ultimately resolve these issues — the issues which spark wars and revolutions — then we ultimately do not deserve to be under any other system.

That is why it is so important that all of us and our children acknowledge and understand these critical concepts as to how this federal government truly operates and what we the American people specifically must do to begin to overcome it.

In closing, as Jefferson stated so vividly in the Kentucky Resolves:

"...the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress."

So you see, under the law of nations, each party has the right to judge for itself what the right and wrong of the situation is. With that in mind, the people if this United States have for decades petitioned the states to begin to answer these questions and to begin to restore the Constitution of the United States to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the Land.

Redress of Grievances?

Up until now the states have done nothing in terms of answering these questions or reconciling the grievances of the people. The people have time and time again petitioned the President; they have petitioned the Congress; they have petitioned the Courts — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — to answer these questions, to answer for their actions outside of law, and to redress the grievances we have regarding this form of wartime government that was imposed upon us without our contract or consent.

But so far, none of those institutions have done anything to publicly come forth to even attempt to answer or redress the grievances, or to resolve the crisis that we have in this country.

With that in mind, there is only one party left that can now make the judgement, and that is We the People ourselves, for all other institutions of government are dysfunctional, rogue, lawless, and have granted themselves a monopoly on fear, intimidation, rulership and violence, via gross usurpations under assumed War Powers that were not delegated to it by the authority of the Constitution, nor by the People or the States respectively.

So now you know why the federal government can operate as an effective dictatorship outside of law, ignore your unalienable rights, steal your wealth and prosperity, establish corporate monopolies, engage in fraud and racketeering, illegally invade sovereign nations, seize privately-owned property, land and resources, and murder with impunity, all with little to no consequences, and sometimes even even rewards.

And it's nothing new. For instance, 18 Congressional Medals of Honor for bravery were awarded to the U.S. Army soldiers of the 7th Cavalry who participated in the heinous murder of 300 unarmed men, women, and children of the Lacota Nation at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, on December 29, 1890.

This is from a letter to the White House from Chief Wahweve Black Eagle, leader of the Walpapi Paiute, who is known for being the head war chief in the final Indian War of the North-West, known as the Sheepeater War in America:

"The Massacre of Wounded Knee became a symbol for my people, the Lakota Nation, of the lies and deceit of the 'Great White Father in Washington' and the U.S. Government. Their words of encouragement and promises of help and peace were seen for the malevolent intent hidden behind the facade. As more and more land promised to us forever was taken away on the whims of Congress, our place to live became smaller and our pain and confusion grew. The mass graves at Wounded Knee became a symbol to us to never forget and never to trust again. The voices of our slain relatives can still be heard, crying out from soil, the waters, the air, and we vow time and time again to never forget, to be strong, to help our nation heal and live well again."

Tell me, what has changed?

None of this treason was committed in secret. None of it is a conspiracy. No, it was all done out in the open, perpetrated in the halls of the House and Senate, introduced and voted for on the congressional floor, read into the congressional record, and is documented in the law, the congressional record and the federal register. The perpetrators are hiding their crimes in plain sight, but it is all only hidden from those who are too busy, apathetic and indifferent to spend the time to understand what edicts have been declared on their behalf without their knowledge and consent.

However, apathy and ignorance are no defense of Liberty, nor are they any hint of deterrent against the onslaught of tyranny.

German Lutheran pastor and theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism, said:

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

President Abraham Lincoln said:

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

And Thomas Jefferson, our third President, wrote in his Resolutions Relative to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798:

"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

American broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow was correct in his assumption that:

"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."

And indeed it has.

Even More Proof

You want more proof? Go into any civilian court house, state house, police station, military command headquarters, or even the lobby of the Walt Disney Corporation. Look at the American flag on display. Is it wreathed in gold fringe? Then that institution is under the jurisdiction of Maritime/Admiralty law, and is therefore not subject to the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution for the United States of America.

It’s not to make the flag look more regal, but to make sure that those who are governed by the law of that institution are NOT governed by the Constitution, but by the bylaws of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION.

Speaking of the Constitution, I recently got back from a family trip up to Washington, D.C. for Memorial Day weekend. We visited the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Guess what I saw? The original documents of the "Charters of Freedom" are flanked by two Maritime Admiralty flags, signifying that the federal government is not operating under the only legally recognized law of the nation. It is operating under a foreign power.

See for yourself:

Not only that, but to deface or desecrate our national flag is a crime under U.S. Department of Justice Official Opinions of the Attorneys General, Volume 34, (1926, pp. 483-487) - Military Flags; U.S. Code Title 4, Chapter 1 - THE FLAG; and U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 33, § 700 - Desecration of the flag of the United States; penalties.

This is even more undeniable proof that our country has been under martial law — a state of national emergency declared by the president — probably since the Civil War, but unquestionably since 1933.

Are you sure your flag is still there? Is this really still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Is it?

So now you know the true reasons behind why the president can rule as a Pharaoh with impunity; why the federal government can install openly communist ideology as the majority of its foreign and domestic policy in accordance with the promise and vision of the UN's founders [Look up Alger Hiss, the convicted communist agent and Soviet spy who penned the United Nations Charter, a document which mirrored nearly word-for-word the constitution of the Soviet Union]; why the Bureau of Land Management (which is funded by a private foreign trust) can aim sniper rifles at unarmed civilians in Nevada in a standoff over the illegal federal seizure of public state lands to be handed over to the ENN Group, a Chinese energy corporation; why the president can arrange for the release of one U.S. military deserter in exchange for five top Taliban terror operatives who are collectively responsible for the deaths of thousands of Shiite Muslims; why 42 Democratic "so-called" representatives of the people have just signed on to repeal the First Amendment of the Constitution, which is our power of the pen.

For those who can see the writing on the wall, it’s all starting to make sense. All signs point to the fact that We the People, through creeping incrementalism, have become enemies of the State.

This is an excerpt from The Counselor, January 4, 1974, p. 243:

Senator declared that people would have acted if truth known.

(Washington) Senator George Malone, Republican of Nevada, was a thorn in the side of United States leftists, and they despised him. According to research by Omni Publications, Malone once commented: 

"I believe — I actually believe this — that if the people of this nation suddenly, fully understood what the Congress has done to them over the years, they would move on Washington. They would not wait for an election. It all adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States."

For those of you who can't see the writing on the wall, nor discern the signs and the times, then I fear that it may be too late for you. And if you are still putting your hopes in our fallen political system to turn this around in the next election, then you are living in the land of OZ and haven't yet seen the man behind the curtain who is really pulling the levers of power. It is time to remove the scales from your eyes and from your heart.

I still have hope, however, that the sleeping giant will soon awaken. If you do not wake up soon to the realities of which we face, then our children and grandchildren will surely live as slaves to a system of world-wide totalitarian socialist government, from cradle to grave, and they will never know the blessings of peace.

What is it going to take for the American citizenry to awaken from our long slumber and to embrace Thomas Paine's requirement for the freedom of our future posterity, that "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace?"

They are depending on us. May God have mercy on us if we fail them.

U.S. Congress vs. The Department of Injustice

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

America the Battlefield
by Timothy A. Pope
April 10, 2014

Un-indicted Attorney General Eric Holder was questioned Tuesday in a House Judiciary Oversight Committee hearing on the Department of Justice.

United States Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX 1st District) brought up Fast and Furious, the federal government's illegal international gun-running operation which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican civilians and at least two U.S. Border Patrol agents; the denial of documentary evidence on the Holy Land Foundation, concerning their 2008 conviction of providing financial assistance to the Sunni terror organization, Hamas, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood; and Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress for obstruction of justice.

What was Attorney General Eric Holder's response to the Congressman who dared mention criminal activity by our nations' highest-ranking law enforcement official during the Congressional hearing?

"You don't want to go there, buddy!"

That's right. Holder said not to go there. His response reeks of the kind of untouchable attitude with which the current presidential regime's operatives and financiers employ on a now daily basis.

Here is the video of the explosive and despicable interchange:

Then there was Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX 27th District), who refused to dignify Eric Holder’s appearance with any questions whatsoever, implying that the Attorney General should be where any American citizen would be if failing to comply with Congressional subpoenas: behind bars.

Here's the video of Rep. Farenthold's public display of disgust for the abuse of the office of the head of the Justice Department:

Also, when being grilled by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC 4th District) on the mandatory minimums, AG Holder actually said that in his position he has the discretion of whether or not to follow the law:

Rep. Gowdy continues questions to AG Holder about Mandatory Minimums (4:41)

Rep. Gowdy also questioned Holder on why he thinks he can trump a law by issuing a department memo:

Rep. Gowdy Questions AG Holder About Duty to Faithfully Execute the Law (7:35)

Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in the age of deception, subversion, rebellion and lawlessness, when our so-called "public servants" openly lie, cheat, steal, kill, and destroy with pride, arrogance and hubris. And no one ever challenges them enough to make any real change whatsoever or to bring them to justice. The gears of the machine keep cranking forward on this runaway train of corruption.

Eric Holder's involvement in Fast and Furious alone should have put him in prison for the rest of his life. That is IF our legal and lawful government was actually in operation. But it isn't. It has been infiltrated and usurped by a powerful group of international authoritarians.

With that said, there is an ever-growing number of crimes by our chief executive in the White House, any one of which should have led to his impeachment, arrest, prosecution and conviction of multiple felonies, including treason. Namely, the Benghazi cover-up, Fast and Furious, Extortion 17, his crusade to disarm law-abiding American gun owners, seizing control of the private healthcare industry by force, ordering the IRS to target constitutionally-protected American citizens, the gutting of our national defense and firing of over 200 high-ranking military flag officers who won't go along with his Marxist agenda, the signing of the NDAA with its provisions for the indefinite imprisonment and rendition of American citizens with no due process of law, and the sanctioned murder of Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, both of them American citizens born in Denver, Colorado.

To say nothing of the current regime's ongoing mission to change the times and laws of God, and to stamp out His name entirely from our society.

And the desperate attempts of the likes of Representatives Gohmert, Farenthold, and even the stalwart and outspoken Trey Gowdy, are simply too little too late.

The beast system these usurpers have erected for themselves, financed by the globalist money-changers who acknowledge no national sovereignty, legislated by the sold-out plutocracy, signed into action by the CEO of the United States corporation sitting in the White House, and enforced by the military-industrial complex, is a protective shield against real justice and is but a taste of what is to come.

Our Lord warned us that these are the beginnings of sorrows, that in the latter days iniquity will abound, for the love of many will wax cold; and that evil men and impostors will wax worse and worse, deceiving many, and being deceived.

Deception is the name of the game, the number one tool of the enemy. For the original lie of Satan was the foundation of the fall of man: "Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Put simply, these people effectively see themselves as gods, and are nearly at the point of acting like them out in the open for all the world to see. And they will then fall back on the comprehensive national security police state apparatus and prison-industrial complex they have constructed to protect them from the rest of us who don't look too kindly on being enslaved.

Noah and the Last Days: Biblical Truth vs. Hollywood's Fiction

Watch the real Noah, not the fake Hollywood fiction produced to generate more revenue for the God-hating money-changers, forked-tongue devils, and social engineers in Tinsel Town.

America the Battlefield
March 28, 2014
by Timothy A. Pope


Hollywood's first big-budget Bible-based film in 50 years, which debuts today, has drawn a seriously mixed reaction from both those who have screened the movie and from those who only know what we have read about it.

Paramount Pictures' Noah, with a budget of $130 million, the first big-budget biblical Hollywood blockbuster since the 1960's, has generated a heated debate regarding its flagrant departure from sound doctrine and from what the Bible actually says happened in the days of Noah. It will most certainly rile some for the complete omission of the name "God" from the dialogue, others for its numerous dramatic fabrications and still more for its heavy-handed ecological doomsday messages, which unmistakably mark it as a product of its time. In stark contrast, many will remember Mel Gibson's surprise blockbuster, The Passion of the Christ, which has since become the yard-stick of biblical movie success. With only a budget of $30 million, it grossed $612 million world-wide, unquestionably due to its attempts to be true to the Gospel.

You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. ― Deuteronomy 4:2

It basically comes down to this: Hollywood’s Noah vs. what the Bible says about the Great Flood.

Those who are throwing their support behind the film are the same religious institutions who are declaring that Christians worship the same god as Islam, namely the Vatican, western emergent churches, and other religious institutions of the apostate Ecumenical Movement.

This raises serious questions, considering that the film takes deceptive liberties with the Bible account. First of all, it never mentions sin as the cause for divine judgment. Secondly, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie doesn’t mention God. In its entire 139-minute runtime, there is not one single mention of God. Thirdly, one critic who saw a screening of the film said that it erroneously portrays Noah as a "drunken psychopath." And last but certainly not least, another segment of movie goers are upset that the movie apparently has heavy environmental overtones, suggesting that the earth was flooded to destroy man who was destroying the earth with pollution and overpopulation.

The growing environmentalism phenomenon is not new to Hollywood, nor to governments and think tanks across the world. Agenda 21, Sustainable Development and Smart Growth―the products of the eugenics race hygiene pseudoscience―are all terms that are generating not only more focus, but more money in the hands of the few who stand to gain from such draconian measures.

"Sustainable Development has continued to evolve as that of protecting the world’s resources while its true agenda is to control the world’s resources." ― Joan Veon, Sustainable Development, Agenda 21 and Prince Charles, (August 13, 2004)

The Council of the Club of Rome put it more bluntly in its 1991 report, The First Global Revolution, in which it stated:

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

This satanic philosophy is in stark contrast to the true reason God wiped the slate clean in the ancient world. All you have to do is read the Word of God. Genesis chapter 6 clearly defines the reason that God beheld the entire earth as corrupt, "for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth."

The Sons of God [b'nai Elohim] saw the daughters of men were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose . . . There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ― Genesis 6:2,4-5

Yes, the divinely-inspired biblical account, written down by Moses in the Torah [the first 5 books of the Old Testament], is very clear and easy to understand. There can be no misinterpretation when one acknowledges that the Sons of God were the fallen angels who kept not their first estate, who were seduced by Satan to rebel against God and were ultimately banished to earth to test all of mankind and to make them evil.

It was they and their abominable offspring. the Nephilim, who were the mighty men which were of old, men of renown; the god-men of the ancient world who seduced mankind into all manner of sinfulness and wickedness; the angelic beings who are recorded in the manuscripts, hieroglyphs, mythologies and legends of every ancient culture as coming down from the stars and teaching men the secrets of sorcery, the magical arts, drugs, alchemy, science, astrology, idolatry, and sexual perversion.

Not only that, Noah was, according to Genesis 6:9 "perfect in his generations." Some modern translations have falsely interpreted this to mean that he was "blameless." No, the original Paleo-Hebrew text clarified the genetic purity of Noah and his family in this passage. And in their vengeance for being cast out of God's grace, the fallen ones were attempting to breed-out the perfect genetic creation of God, who made man in His image. Noah and his family had not intermarried with the fallen ones, and were thus pure and "perfect in their generations."

That is why Genesis chapter 6 is among the most misunderstood passages in Scripture, which has spawned major doctrinal error. In this author's opinion, if you don't understand what Genesis chapter 6 is really saying, then you can't possibly understand 90% of the rest of the Bible.

That is the real reason why God had to destroy the entire world with a flood, in order to save his direct creation from Satan's attempt to corrupt the line of men. If he was successful at breeding-out God's most beloved creation, then the prophesied Messiah couldn't possibly be born of the seed of Adam.

We also saw this house-cleaning taking place elsewhere, when God commanded the Isralites to go and completely destroy everything and everyone, sparing no man and woman or child, not even the oxen, sheep, camels or donkeys. Their bloodline had been corrupted and couldn't possibly be redeemed. The key word here is: Genetic Manipulation.

But this was after the flood, you say? "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that..." Yes, their spirits remained upon the earth in order to test mankind again in order to fulfill His will. The term used in reference to their spirits was Rephaim (root wood Rapha: Strong's Hebrew 7496) the spirits of the dead. And today we see the onslaught of Transhumanism, the merging of man with machine, in order to achieve the original lie of Satan, where he appeared to Eve as a serpent and promised her:

"Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

With these and other deviations from Scripture, many in the faith-based community have been proclaiming a refusal to spend any money on Hollywood’s Noah fallacy over these and other inaccuracies, and its directed focus on parts of the story that depict Noah in a negative way, instead of the good. The film has even been banned in some Middle Eastern countries, including Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, who are refusing to release it. Muslims revere Noah as a prophet and some consider using images of sacred figures sacrilegious, especially in such a contemptible manner.

Actor Russell Crowe appeared on Good Morning America, calling the criticism of religious groups "absolute stupidity." Russell is clearly proud of his latest role, as he said his portrayal of the pre-Flood Patriarch will go against the grain of common belief. Here is what he had to say in another recent interview:

"The funny thing with people, they consider Noah to be a benevolent figure because he looked after the animals: 'Awww, Noah. Noah and the animals.'" Crowe said. "It's like, are you kidding me? This is the dude that stood by and watched the entire population of the planet perish. He's not benevolent. He's not even nice. At one point in the story his son says, 'I thought you were chosen because you were good?' And he goes, 'I was chosen because I can get the job done, mate.' So, I think people are going to be―judging from where their questions come from―I think they're going to be quite surprised what Noah actually really means; what it means to be in that position." ― Russell Crowe

I think Russell Crowe, if he is going to portray one of the greatest patriarchs of the Bible―a man chosen by God to fulfill His will―needs to be reminded of what the Word of God actually says, that "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."

Darren Aronofsky, the director of Noah, called the film "the least biblical film ever made." This statement comes from the man who is behind such horrendous, demonic filth as Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, and Black Swan. To The New Yorker, via Digital Spy, director Darren Aronofsky said of his most recent film:

"'Noah' is the least biblical film ever made. I don't give a f**k about the test scores. My films are outside the scores." ― Darren Aronofsky

The test scores Aronofsky refers to come from screenings held for various demographics amid the conflict between Paramount and the director on which version to release. After the test screenings, Paramount elected to use Aronofsky's cut anyway.

Matthew 7:16 alerts us that we shall know them by their fruits. What kind of fruit is this film and the people associated with it bearing?

Glenn Beck is encouraging church groups to shun the movie, which he called "dangerous," and said that he hopes the film is a "massive failure."

"I haven’t seen it nor will I, because it’s a slap in the face," Beck said. He read lengthy portions of The Hollywood Reporter’s film review then pronounced his opinion that the movie was "hostile to God" and it teaches "planet over man."

An Alternative:

Produced by evangelist and Christian filmmaker, Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries, who created the award-winning films 180 and Evolution vs. God, there is another movie out called Noah and the Last Days, and it is free to watch online. 

In noting that their Noah movies are very different, Comfort explains why Hollywood's version may be bigger but believes his version is better.

"Hollywood's is listed as 'fantasy,'" Comfort states, "while ours is based on the truth. Theirs is entertainment that will cost you. Ours is life-changing and will be freely available on YouTube." ― Ray Comfort

Rather than tell the story of Noah and the ark, Comfort's Noah looks at the parallels between Noah's day and ours and gives 10 biblical signs of the last days.

You can also order a DVD copy of the film here. Mine only cost $5.00! It is a great tool for ministry and evangelism, and you can feel confident in your support of Living Waters Ministries.

Also be sure to listen to Rick Wiles' TruNews interview of Ray Comfort in this 1-hour broadcast from Thursday, March 20, 2014, which centers on the upcoming release of the Hollywood motion picture, Noah.

In the first half of the broadcast, Ray Comfort shares why he strongly opposes the film and why he believes that the movie’s vast acceptance among Christians is just another sign of the end times―a topic covered in his film, Noah and the Last Days. Later in the program, media consultant and Christian film producer, Phil Cooke, presents his case as to why he believes Christians should embrace the film and Hollywood in general. In my opinion, Mr. Cooke makes a very poor case as a Hollywood apologist.

Make up your own mind, but the fallen Babylonian system of entertainment―which has become a cheap substitute for real joy in Christ Jesus―won't get one more cent of my money. I will no longer pay them to blaspheme God's name and to distort the true intent of His divinely-inspired Word, He who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

Because as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in those days. We are on borrowed time, and save for God's grace and mercy alone, judgment is held off but a moment longer. Repent and be saved. This may be your final warning.

If you were to die tonight, do you know where you will spend eternity? What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul?

The Ark is still open, and waiting for you to enter in...
