The TOP DOWN push for an Article V convention
By Publius Huldah
Ever since, some 60 years ago, the Ford Foundation produced the Constitution for the Newstates of America, it has always been the political elite and the big money who are behind the push for an Article V convention. Today, people and politicians who posture as men of virtue and “conservatives principles” are being paid to support an Article V convention – e.g. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas-legislature/2017/03/01/major-conservatives-piggy-banks-behind-texas-obsession-amending-constitution

Anyone who refuses to look into this is willfully blind and morally culpable.
The billionaires who are buying an Article V convention (Koch Brothers, George Soros), have no intention of limiting the power and jurisdiction of the government over us!
The propaganda put out by the con-con lobby is able to take root in those who don’t know what our Constitution already says; don’t understand our Founding Principles; and don’t know our History on throwing off governments and setting up new ones. We’ve already done it twice!
The enemies of our Constitution want to do it a third time. Since they know you wouldn’t agree to it; they are telling you things which aren’t true.
Listen up:
Our Declaration of Independence says at the 2nd paragraph that a People have the right to throw off their form of government and set up a new one. We invoked that Principle in 1776 to throw off British Rule. We invoked that Principle again in 1787 to throw off the Articles of Confederation and the government it created, and set up a new Constitution [the one we have now] which created a new government.
People who don’t know that are unable to understand that if there is an Article V convention today, the Delegates can do the same thing! Throw off the Constitution we have and set up a new one which creates a new government.
For heavens sake, People! New Constitutions are already written and waiting in the wings for an Article V convention! Here’s one of them – it’s ratified by a national Referendum. The States don’t vote on it. The States are dissolved and replaced by regional governments answerable to the new national government. http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/concon/newstates.htm#.WLrJEn98ExE
George Soros wants a Progressive Constitution in place by the year 2020. http://keywiki.org/Constitution_2020
George W. Bush, the Council on Foreign Relations, and others want to move the United States into the North American Union. Canada, the US, and Mexico are to merge and a Parliament set up over them. In order to do this, they need a new Constitution for the US to transform us from a sovereign nation to a member state in the NAU. How do they get a new Constitution? At an Article V convention. How do they get an Article V convention? Pay people who pose as conservatives to tell the American People that we need a convention to get amendments which will limit the power of the federal government.
And the people who don’t understand our Founding Principles, don’t know our History, and don’t know what our Constitution already says, fall for the subterfuge.
READ the Task Force Report on the NAU. Heidi Cruz was on the Task Force which wrote the Report: http://www.cfr.org/canada/building-north-american-community/p8102
Americans! Wake up! You are being scammed and tricked and lied to. And bought and paid for politicians and charlatans are selling you into slavery.
God gave you a brain. It is wicked for you to refuse to use it.
Update Jan. 12, 2018: All US Presidents since (and including) Ronald Regan have been advancing our movement into the NAU. Watch this excellent 15 minute video: https://youtu.be/lNhp9H3yCsI
This is a Revolution against us by the global elite. This push for an Article V convention is from the top down – it is how the Elite can impose their will on us.
Do not continue to unwittingly assist the global elite in enforcing their will on us!

PH, just read the Preamble of the New States document. It exposes the true intention of the traitors proposing this document to replace our existing Constitution as they say nothing about Liberty, but do say they intend to “create an adequate and self-repairing government…”
It is clear they want to form an all-powerful government where all power is centralized with them and their puppets. If this does not put terror into the hearts of Americans, then they will get what they deserve. For those of us who are aware of their true intentions, we must expose this treason so it can be stopped before an Art V convention is “authorized”. If we do not then we are part of the problem just as much as those who are willfully ignorant.
I pray God will support our efforts in this critical defense of our Liberty.

I hope it won’t do to you what it has done to me – I literally lie awake hours each night trying to figure out how to explain this so that everyone can understand how EASY it is to impose a new Constitution if there is an Article V convention. Any new Constitution which is subject to a National Referendum, such as the Newstates Constitution, will be “ratified” if the people who control the voting machines want it ratified.
The People with open minds can grasp this quickly. But the COS bots’ minds are slammed shut. And most Legislators have heard only the pro COS side, and without money to get their attention, it’s difficult to get through to them. Still, some of them do read their emails! Thank God.
I watched live the debates on this in the Texas Senate Committee which passed it. It was such a phony dog & pony show. The big money behind this push for an Art. V convention has BOUGHT Texas politicians. See this http://www.pseagles.com/KochPAC to see the members of the Senate Committee who were bought by the Kochs who are financially backing this push for an Art. V convention; and this to see additional sums paid to Birdwell, the chief sponsor: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas-legislature/2017/03/01/major-conservatives-piggy-banks-behind-texas-obsession-amending-constitution
And the Texas Lt. Governor – man! He’s making out like a Bandit! The Governor has also been bought.
TEXAS NEEDS TO GET RID OF POLITICIANS WHO HAVE THEIR HANDS OUT TO THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS.

That’s what Alexander Hamilton said at the end of Federalist No. 85, http://www.foundingfathers.info/federalistpapers/fed85.htm
To set the historical context (of which COS minions are ignorant) of Federalist No. 85: It was published during mid August 1788. The Constitution was ratified several months earlier on June 21, 1788. But the anti-Federalists hated the Constitution and wanted to get rid of it. So they were clamoring for an Article V convention saying the new Constitution wasn’t perfect and we needed a new one. And they also claimed that amendments to the new Constitution were too hard to get. So in Federalist No. 85, Hamilton addresses those arguments of the anti-federalists.
Hamilton “dreaded” an Article V convention because he knew that even then we had enemies who wanted to get rid of it. And the only lawful way to get rid of it is, of course, at an Article V convention.
Yes, they are our “enemies”.

Naturally Dunaway conveniently forgets the fact that it was COS’s own Mark Meckler who teamed up with progressive professor Lawrence Lessig to promote a Article V convention. And Lessig in turn supports the progressive Wolf-PAC which regurgitates the same erroneous talking points as COS.
Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

I can find no claims in the Federalist Papers addressing any fear of an Article V convention. I can see fears of a new Constitutional Convention, as they feared making a whole new Constitution was unlikely to be as good as the one they had. However, I only see positive stuff about Article V, including Hamilton suggesting that we use it if the federal government got out of hand.
BTW, Soros and the globalists are weakest at the state level (and generally even weaker at the local level, except in the big liberal cities). They are pretty strong at the federal level. Thus, an Article V convention is truly the only shot, other than actual shooting in a revolution, of saving America.

If you can’t find the objections to an Article V convention in The Federalist Papers, then you aren’t familiar with The Federalist Papers!
Read No. 49 – James Madison speaks at length as to why the federal convention of 1787 was safe; but why another convention would be dangerous.
Read No. 85 – especially the last para – and you will see why an Article V convention filled Alexander Hamilton with “dread”.
A horrible problem we have is that Americans have been so dumbed down by the government schools that they can no longer read writings on the level of The Federalist Papers with comprehension. They are ignorant of even the Basic Principles of how to read with comprehension.
I challenge you to identify the Federalist Paper (and paragraph) where Hamilton said we should use an Article V convention if the federal government got out of hand.
You obviously don’t know what the Federalist Papers say on this issue! I do. So don’t try any bs where you chant the lying pro-convention line on this. They exploit the ignorance and gullibility of people to get them to tell lies for them! Are you a mere tool in the hands of the unscrupulous?

COS was able to recruit you because you do not understand the Founding Principle that a People have the right to throw off their government and set up a new one; and you do not know that we have already done this twice in our history – as set forth in my post to which you have commented. The last time we threw off a Constitution was during 1787. The federal convention of 1787 was called by the Continental Congress on Feb 21, 1787 for “the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation”. But the delegates ignored their instructions and wrote a new Constitution which created a new government.
They were also able to recruit you because you don’t know that our Constitution already limits the federal government to a tiny handful of enumerated powers. Here’s the list of delegated powers over the Country at Large: https://publiushuldah.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/chart-showing-federal-structure-3-1-part-a2.pdf The problem is that The People don’t know the list of enumerated powers by heart; and so everyone ignores the existing constitutional limits on federal government power. So a person has to be an ignoramus and a total “non-thinker” to believe that Amendments can control governments which already ignore the Constitution.
And to continue to believe lies when one has been presented with the Truth is wicked – and blood will be on your head if you do not repent of refusing Truth and adhering to lies.

Good Morning, dear Abouna Gregori!
Yes, with public education, we opened the great gates to hell in this Land.
And it appears that the Clergy in America, since the early 1800s, when the Unitarians started pushing for public education, generally don’t seem to know that The Creator God who – as recognized by our Declaration of Independence – endowed us with unalienable Rights; also assigned to parents specific responsibilities to their children. Parents are to:
Provide for their children’s physical needs: 2 Corinthians 12:14; Proverbs 13:22; 1 Timothy 5:8; 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12.
Provide for the education & moral instruction of their children: Proverbs 1:8-9, 6:20-21, 13:1, 22:6 & 23:19-22; Genesis 18:19; Deuteronomy 4:9-10 & 6:1-7; Ephesians 6:1-4; 2 Timothy 1:5 & 3:15-17; & they are to
Discipline their children: Proverbs 13: 24, 15:5, 19:18, 22:15, 23:12-14, 29:15-17; Hebrews 12:5-11; Colossians 3:21.
I talked to a Friend who is a State Legislator about abolishing public education, and was told that the “education lobby” in this Country is so HUGE that dismantling the public schools would be difficult. People in the vast education bureaucracy and those teachers who – for the most part – corrupt the minds & morals of our children all want to keep their jobs.
I don’t accuse the teachers of knowingly corrupting the minds and morals of our children. But I do accuse them of blindly following orders and their Teachers’ manuals; of self-induced moral blindness; and of COWARDICE.
Of course, I expect there are some extremely fine teachers in the government schools. I actually had 3 of them!

When you use the word “we” in reciting the history of throwing off bad rulerships, you ought to get specific about the meaning. “We” doesn’t mean merely “the people.” It means delegates from and electors of the states. At the time, that meant the responsible free white adult (over 21) male citizen “propertied gentry,” and “aristocracy” not ordinary laborers, housewives, slaves, people of color. Those were generally community leaders of high esteem, good education, and demonstrable responsibility.
The so-called “people” of today includes the foregoing PLUS the abysmally ignorant, the stupid, housewives, the financially irresponsible, addicts, petty criminals, and anyone other than children under 18, felons, people adjudged mentally incompetent, and non-citizens. The founders never intended that such a motley lot have a say in government, either as electors or as delegates or as elected or appointed officials.
Remember that the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence starts with two lies: that all men are created equal and all have the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, irrespective of the extent of their individual responsibility. Democrats and leftist liberals have striven ever since to force our nation to include everyone possible in the electorate without regard to individual responsibility. That’s why a constitutional convention will spell disaster for the American Republic.

No. There is no lie. All men are equal before the Law. The Bible is clear that Justice is not to favor the rich or the poor, or highborn or lowborn. In that sense all men are EQUAL.

And the Stupid and the Wise are both accountable to God.
Please try not to be such an elitist who looks down on “housewives” and other such lowlifes! If I could do what I wanted, I would be a housewife.

Well, Barbara, let’s start with educating you!
Read Article V of our Constitution; then look at these Questions and Answers:
1. Does Article V provide for a convention for proposing amendments?
Answer: Yes.
2. What is this Convention called in Article V?
Answer: No specific name is given for it.
3. Since it’s provided for in Article V of our Constitution, would it reasonable to call it “an Article V convention”? or a “constitutional convention”?
Answer: Well, duh, yes. Either of those would be legally correct terms.
4. Always look up terms in reputable references! Black’s Law Dictionary defines “constitutional convention” as: “A duly constituted assembly of delegates or representatives of the people of a state or nation for the purpose of framing, revising, or amending its constitution.” http://thelawdictionary.org/constitutional-convention/
5. Who “calls” this Convention provided for in Article V?
Answer: That would be Congress.
6. What is the significance of the fact that the Constitution delegates to Congress alone the power to “call” a convention?
Answer: Since the power to “call” the convention is delegated to Congress; and because Art. I, Sec. 8, last clause, delegates power to Congress to make the laws necessary & proper to carry out the powers delegated in the Constitution; Congress has the power to organize and set up the convention it “calls” pursuant to Article V.
7. Where does Art. V delegate to the States the power to control the convention called by Congress?
Answer: It doesn’t. You have been lied to.
8. This chart shows who has the power to do what respecting an Article V convention: https://publiushuldah.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/myth-v-fact-chart-caavc1.pdf
Print out the chart and study it. It sets forth the Truth.
