“The British parliament has no right to exercise authority over us.” 

At all.

This was the bold conclusion Thomas Jefferson came to in his powerful pamphlet A Summary View of the Rights of British America. 

Written nearly two years before the Declaration of Independence, the pamphlet foreshadowed ideas Jefferson would later develop further. He asserted several fundamental principles that underpin the American constitutional system, including the sovereignty of states within a broader union, and the view that usurpations of power are void. 

Taxation and interference with the colonial economies were significant factors in the American Revolution, but it was fundamentally a constitutional crisis. The American colonists believed the British king and Parliament were violating their rights as Englishmen and the limits of power under the unwritten British constitution. 

Jefferson wrote the pamphlet hoping to influence the Virginia delegation to the First Continental Congress, which met from September 5 to October 26, 1774, to take an aggressive stand against British actions. In it, he outlined colonial grievances, naming specific acts and actions taken by the British government, ultimately declaring them a “nullity” and “void.”

In many ways, A Summary View was a precursor to the Declaration of Independence. Many of the “unwarrantable encroachments and usurpations” Jefferson outlined reappear in the Declaration.

Jefferson laid out his argument in a very logical fashion, starting with the fact that the American colonists were “free inhabitants of the British dominions in Europe, and possessed a right which nature has given to all men.” He pointed out that the original settlers of North America set up societies “under such laws and regulations as to them shall seem most likely to promote public happiness.”

Jefferson was arguing that under the British Constitution, the colonists effectively had the right to local, self-government.

He went on to concede that “Parliament was pleased to lend them assistance against an enemy (France)” because the colonies had “become valuable to Great Britain for her commercial purposes,” but Jefferson insisted that “these states never supposed, that by calling in her aid, they thereby submitted themselves to her sovereignty.”

Jefferson then laid out the colonial understanding of their relationship with the mother country.

“That settlements having been thus effected in the wilds of America, the emigrants thought proper to adopt that system of laws under which they had hitherto lived in the mother country, and to continue their union with her by submitting themselves to the same common sovereign, who was thereby made the central link connecting the several parts of the empire.” [Emphasis added.]

James Madison argued that the best way to limit the number of wars would be to make the people pay the full cost immediately instead of financing them with debt and putting the onus on future generations to bear the cost.

This would force politicians, and the population at large, to count the cost of war before rushing headlong into hostilities.

Madison reasoned that if the people knew the actual cost of war and had to pony up the funds, it would reduce the number of wars. People would make a more concerted effort to resolve conflict peacefully.

Our view of the Militia is informed by the same sources presented in the repost of the article from The Tenth Amendment Center that was sent out yesterday.

We obviously consider homosexuality a private matter that should never become an object of concern in public administration; lamentably, the practice of sodomy in the military has increased to the point that it has not only adversely impacted the military, but has spread out into the general population so as to promote a political movement.

We felt it was important to warn the public that this "sudden" LGBTQ Movement is not the product of Liberalism, but is rather being promoted by Roman/Nazi elements that have become entrenched in the military. These are not men that we would consider to be "liberal" in any sense but their sexual proclivities. Otherwise, they are often doctrinaire conservatives, control junkies, and misogynists.

This has become a real problem for the military and for our civilian culture as well, but we can hardly hope to address it, if we ignorantly assume that the LGBTQ effort is coming from liberal civilian sources, when in fact, it's leaking out of conservative military circles, instead.

That is the "alert" that I am spreading here, so that people are not blind-sided and amazed when all of a sudden they realize that this "tradition" has been encapsulated and carried forward over the course of more than 2,000 years and is making a bid to come into fruition again.

As I noted in other correspondence, it goes back all the way to Babylon, and is well-represented in Greek Epic Poetry and by Lesser Greek Poets -- Achilles and Alexander the Great were both homosexuals; there is little doubt that the Spartan heroes celebrated as "the 300" who held back the Persians at Thermopylae were bisexuals or dedicated homosexuals indoctrinated into military sodomy at an early age, the feared Black Eagle Legion of Rome was entirely staffed by homosexuals; and the Nazis, patterning themselves after Rome, openly practiced sodomy in the ranks--- and only used it as a hypocritical excuse to get rid of political rivals and for associated blackmail in other venues when it suited them.

The military needs to be put on Notice that despite this long association of homosexuality and sodomite submission associated with the military tradition, this is an issue that has gotten out of hand and been inappropriately justified and politicized, while the American Public needs to be aware that the LGBTQ "Agenda" is largely coming from an unexpected place: the military.

The mindless and misplaced belief that our planet is overpopulated when it once supported 500 billion people --- roughly 60 times the present population--- has been used to promote a cynical and hateful agenda to murder billions of innocent people rather than give up petty investments in antiquated infrastructure, energy sources that cause pollution, and Nineteenth Century monopolies that should have never existed in the first place.

The men charged with carrying out this murder and genocide of the species agenda have been following along in the deluded expectation that they were fighting a political enemy -- "the Americans" or "the Communists" -- when in fact that have been committing suicide and setting up their own demise and the demise of their families and kith and kind.

The Higher Ups in this Lemming-like insanity have been deluded by beliefs in "Higher Dimensions" and fairytale nonsense, while ignoring the wisdom of more than 13.8 billion years of organic experience and evolution represented by the DNA coding found in each one of us and also in the 250,000 year-old mitochondrial DNA that makes up our 47th chromosome.

Those who do not know or who do not remember the past are doomed to relive it, but we are now at the point where we do remember, and upon remembering, must be set free.

Life as a Senior NCO for a Head of Household that can't Provide.

No...... Brainer.

Now, settle the term "ill-gotten" in its power to claw back.

If you can't, you still have the power as a U.S. Citizen to relinquish your assets to a Fiduciary Institution.

Otherwise, you need to be aware of what people are responsible for when they make the calls that guide our economy.

But, you balk. And that's clear enough for me.

Despite being little known today, Tench Coxe was an influential founding father, and in early 1788, he provided what was possibly the most comprehensive list of examples to explain the division of state and federal powers under the proposed Constitution.

In his three essays of A Freeman published by the Pennsylvania Gazette,  Coxe argued that federal powers would be limited to those delegated to it in the Constitution.

He outlined this argument early in the first essay.

“I shall endeavour to exhibit clear and permanent marks and lines of separate sovereignty, which must ever distinguish and circumscribe each of the several states, and prevent their annihilation by the federal government, or any of its operations.”

Anti-federalist opponents of the Constitution argued that the proposed general government would be so powerful it would swallow up the states, leading to “consolidation” – the centralization of power in a single government. Coxe argued that separation of powers and the ultimate sovereignty of the states would prevent this. 

“The matter will be better understood by proceeding to those points which shew, that, as under the old so under the new federal constitution, the thirteen United States were not intended to be, and really are not consolidated, in such manner as to absorb or destroy the sovereignties of the several states.” 

He went on to assert that not only do the state governments maintain their sovereignty and independence in the constitutional system, but they are indispensable in its operation. 

“It will be found, on a careful examination, that many things, which are indispensibly necessary to the existence and good order of society, cannot be performed by the fœderal government, but will require the agency and powers of the state legislatures or sovereignties, with their various appurtenances and appendages.”

He fleshed out this argument by contrasting all of the things sovereign states can do with the small number of enumerated powers delegated to the federal government.

Using a secretive process known as “parallel construction,” police build cases on illegally obtained, warrantless data collected by the NSA and other federal agencies without anybody ever knowing.

These investigations take place in complete secrecy with no judicial oversight. Oftentimes, suspects and defense attorneys have no idea how police obtained information.

C. DELORES TUCKER (1927-2005)

C. Delores Tucker is best remembered as a civil rights trailblazer who fought for women of color, and toward the end of her life against profane and misogynist lyrics in hip-hop/ rap music. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 4, 1927, to Bahamian parents Whitfield and Captilda Nottage. Her father was a Baptist minister, and the couple operated a grocery store, an employment agency, and a real estate business in Philadelphia.

Cynthia Delores Nottage, the tenth of eleven children, attended Philadelphia High School for Girls, graduating in 1946. She then attended Temple University, where she studied finance and real estate. She dropped out however, to open an employment agency for southern blacks, who had just arrived in Philadelphia.  In 1951 she married businessman William Tucker, a construction company owner, who grew wealthy in Philadelphia real estate.

A successful realtor herself, by the 1960s she served as an officer in the Philadelphia NAACP. She worked closely with the local branch president Cecil Moore, to end racist practices in the city’s post offices and construction trades.  Tucker gained national prominence, when she led a Philadelphia delegation on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  By the decade’s end, Tucker’s expertise as a fundraiser for the NAACP, coupled with her Democratic Party affiliation, enabled her to be appointed chair of the Pennsylvania Black Democratic Committee.

Her selection by Philadelphia Mayor James H.J. Tate to serve on the city’s Zoning Commission in 1968, was the first of several prestigious political appointments, including vice chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party (1970). In 1971, Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp appointed her Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under Tucker’s leadership, Pennsylvania became one of the first states to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, promote voter registration by mail, and to lower the voting age from 21 to 18.

In 1984 Tucker and New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, founded the National Political Congress of Black Women. In 1990, she and 15 other women and men, founded African American Women for Reproductive Freedom. Tucker however, failed to win elective office.  She ran, and lost, in her bid for lieutenant governor in 1978, the U.S. Senate in 1980, and the U.S. House in 1992.

By the 1990s Tucker became a highly vocal opponent of the salacious lyrics and sexual innuendos associated with “gangsta rap,” calling the lyrics of many of these songs “sleazy pornographic smut,” She joined conservative Republican Bill Bennett, in launching a national campaign against major music companies, for supporting and sustaining artists profiting from rap music. Tucker picketed stores that sold rap music. She bought stock in Sony, Time Warner, and other major corporations to protest obnoxious lyrics at their shareholder meetings. In response, she often faced the wrath of these artists including Tupac Shakur, KRS-One, Lil Wayne, and Lil’ Kim, who attacked her in their songs. Tucker filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against the estate of Tupac Shakur, for the lyrics he used in his album All Eyez on Me.

Cynthia Delores Tucker died on October 12, 2005 at a rehabilitation center in Norristown, Pennsylvania. She was 78, and was survived by her husband, William Tucker. The couple had no children.

Many otherwise perfectly good and serious Autochthonous Brothas and Sisthas remain confused about the Constitutions and the fact that we, Autochthonous Black Americans, don't live under them.

One of the groups that seems closest to getting that straight is The Tenth Amendment Center, which clearly knows that the Tenth Amendment preserved undelegated "Powers" to the Autochthonous people {WE THE PEOPLE} and the Nation-States-- an important exclusionary limit on the presumed powers of the Federal Government.

They often come up with very worthy articles and actions that sometimes seem providential.

Here we are grappling with setting up the de jure Nation-State Assembly Militias, a task and a subject that many people fear and misunderstand --- and here is The Tenth Amendment Center with an excellent article explaining the history, context and importance of our de jure Nation State Assembly Militias within the Autochthonous American Government.

I am reposting it here in its entirety for educational purposes to wake you mofos up:

Strong Militia Over Standing Armies Important lessons from the Founders on the right to keep and bear arms.

One of the primary reasons the founders wanted a strong militia system with a well-armed general public was to minimize or even eliminate the need for a large, permanent standing army, even in times of peace.

Most people in the founding generation were extremely wary of standing armies. They were often referred to as “the bane of liberty.”

They knew this from experience. From the standing armies that led to the massacre in Boston, to the gun control scheme that kicked off the war for independence – they lived it firsthand. As colonial resistance to taxes and other policies grew in 1774, the British responded by attempting to disarm the colonists.

Noah Webster understood this danger well, saying, “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed.”

George Mason also minced no words.

“I abominate and detest the idea of a government, where there is a standing army.”

St George Tucker warned what would happen if there was a standing army and the people were disarmed:

“This may be considered the true palladium of liberty. … The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.”

This is why so many in the founding generation favored a strong militia system.

Patrick Henry summed it up during the Virginia ratifying convention.

“The militia, sir, is our ultimate safety. We can have no security without it.”

Why did the founders trust the militia and not a standing army? Because as George Mason said, the militia consists of “the whole people, except a few public officers.”

In other words, the people ultimately maintain control over the militia. In fact, they are the militia. But the government controls a standing army. It effectively serves as an extension of the government.

Henry Knox served as the first secretary of war in the U.S., and he recognized this distinction. In a letter to George Washington sharing his plan for organizing the militia dated 18 Jan. 1790, he emphasized that the militia should provide the primary defense and a standing army was distinct from the people at large.

“An energetic national militia is to be regarded as the Capital security of a free republic; and not a standing army, forming a distinct class in the community.”

He went on to say that “whatever may be the efficacy of a standing army in war, it cannot in peace be considered as friendly to the rights of human nature.” [Emphasis added]

Knox reflected a broadly-held view in the founding generation. People generally acknowledged the need for a standing army during times of war. Some even recognized the utility of a small standing army in times of peace. But virtually everybody understood standing armies posed a danger in peacetime. The militia served as an alternative – a first line of defense.

This view shaped the drafting of the militia clause at the Philadelphia Convention.

George Mason brought up the subject of federal regulation of the militia, saying he “hoped there would be no standing army in time of peace unless it might be for a few garrisons.”

“The militia ought therefore to be the more effectually prepared for public defence.”

Mason conceded that “an absolute prohibition of standing armies in times of peace might be unsafe.” So, desiring to point out and guard against their danger, he moved to preface the militia clause by adding the words “And that the liberties of the people may be better secured against the danger of standing armies in times of peace.”

This language wasn’t ultimately included in the Constitution, but it shows the thinking of the framers as they were drafting the Constitution, and underscores their widely-held worries about a standing army.

Even Alexander Hamilton acknowledged this point in Federalist #29, writing, “If standing armies are dangerous to liberty, an efficacious power over the militia, in the body to whose care the protection of the state is committed, ought, as far as possible, to take away the inducement and the pretext to such an unfriendly situation.”

“To render an army unnecessary, will be a more certain method of preventing its existence than a thousand prohibitions upon paper.”

During the Philadelphia Convention, James Madison also argued that a good militia would minimize or even prevent the need for standing armies.

“As the greatest danger to liberty is from large standing armies, it is best to prevent them by an effectual provision for a good militia.”

This drives home the point that the reason for having a well-armed populace isn’t just for shooting deer, or for personal defense, or even for defending against foreign enemies. The founding generation believed it was necessary to reduce the need for a standing army.

When Thomas Jefferson first read a copy of the proposed Constitution, he urged James Madison to provide for “the substitution of militia for a standing army.”

1) "Blacks were toting guns or other weapons and going about armed in the service of wealthy landowners at the same time that tens of thousands of enslaved White men were forbidden arms, In 1678 one thousand Negroes were armed by the planters and formed into a fighting militia for the protection against the French".

2) "In Carolina in 1704, 1707, 1712, 1738 and 1741 a bill was passed authorizing armed Negro militias in the service of the planters. 1742 certificates were presented to Black militiamen for services rendered".

3) "The colonial powers were not adverse to call on unlikely POLICEMEN to suppress white slave revolts: Blacks. Blacks were permitted to the colonial militia responsible for policing white slaves.

The aristocratic planters had felt the necessity to arm part of their black men to assist in suppressing white slave revolts.

4) Armed Black militias patrolled the Carolinas from the end of the 17th century to at least to 1710 when Thomas Nairne reported that Black's continued to be members of armed colonial militias organized by local governments". 1-9 taken from "They were White and they were slaves" (T.W.S.) by Michael A. Hoffman.

The term "colonial militia" in the preceding quotes must be clearly understood, as well as the words "Negro" and "Black" in the following pages, in order to get a truer picture of [the Moorish Troops [>Blacks and Negroes] who were soldiers of the "Continental Congress" or "Confederation Congress", i.e., "The United States in Congress Assembled" established shortly after 1776 and authorized by the United States of America Government domestically governed by the Articles of Confederation and internationally in agreement with the "Law of Nations" of the "Family of Nations" headed by the North America Moorish Empire a.k.a. Ottoman Empire.

In conclusion, you Brothas and Sisthas are the Posterity Sovereign Nation-States [> Title 5, U.S.C.S. 1501(1)], having original jurisdiction over any and all Partisan Political States and State of States.
