Phase Three, Part 1

It is very difficult to tell the "white hats" from the "black hats" if you have no vision. If you are blind, you are going to have to sharpen up to energy signals and learn of "direc­tions" and "players". Citizen "mankind" is basically but a pawn in the Elite game of who gets to run things. You must learn to play the game BETTER than the script writ­ers for until YOU WRITE THE SCRIPT--you are destined to be caught in "their" play.

COPYRIGHT POSITION STATEMENT AND DISCLAIMER

The Phoenix Journals are intended as a "real time" commentary on current events, how current events relate to past events and the relationships of both to the physical and spiritual destinies of mankind.

All of history, as we now know it, has been revised, rewritten, twisted and tweaked by selfishly motivated men to achieve and maintain control over other men. When one can understand that everything is comprised of "energy" and that even physical matter is "coalesced" energy, and that all energy emanates from God's thought, one can accept the idea that the successful focusing of millions of minds on one expected happening will cause it to happen.

If the many prophecies made over thousands of years are accepted, these are the "end times" (specifically the year 2000, the second millennium, etc.). That would put us in the "sorting" period and only a few short years from the finish line. God has said that in the end-times would come the WORD--to the four corners of the world--so that each could decide his/her own course toward, or away from, divinity--based upon TRUTH.

So, God sends His Hosts--Messengers--to present that TRUTH. This is the way in which He chooses to present it, through the Phoenix Journals. Thus, these journals are Truth, which cannot be copyrighted; they are compilations of information already available on Earth, researched and compiled by others (some, no doubt, for this purpose) which should not be copyrighted. Therefore, these journals are not copyrighted (except SIPAPU ODYSSEY which is "fiction").

The first sixty or so journals were published by America West Publishing which elected to indicate that a copyright had been applied for on the theory that the ISBN number (so necessary for booksellers) was dependent upon the copyright. Commander Hatonn, the primary author and compiler, insisted that no copyrights be applied for and, to our knowledge, none were.

If the Truth is to reach the four corners of the world, it must be freely passed on. It is hoped that each reader will feel free to do that, keeping it in context, of course.

SHARKS HAVE NO BONES

How many of you realize that sharks HAVE NO BONES? NOT ONE! How many of you know there is a reddish worm that lives deep under the surface of the seas that ranges up to 25 feet long, ingests its food, but has no organs that correspond to a mouth or intestines? These creatures are nourished by bacteria that live inside their cells. further, they have an entire phylum of their own. How many of you know what the word "phylum" means? Well, it simply means "a major division of the plant or animal kingdom". How many of you realize that there are al­most as many creatures with exoskeletons as endoskeletons? Back to "phylum": How many of you know what "phyla" is your own category? Are you a chordate or a subphylum verte­brate? Do you give a damn?

With all the wondrous things about you that you do not know--why can you not function without having to know if Pleiadians have sex like humans or no sex at all. Can you not find impor­tant things upon which to dwell and expand your minds? No? Then what hope is there for your world?

BUT SHARKS DO HAVE TEETH!

Since this is the third book of the "HEAVE" series and will rep­resent "Phase III", let's consider things briefly. This will be called, of course, HEAVE 'EM OUT. However, since this vol­ume will split at least three ongoing subjects we will have to continue the volume numbering someway for identification purposes. How about "Vol. III, Part I"? This will allow us as many "parts" as necessary--but I especially want the connections made for 'good old Kissinger' as well as some ongoing discus­sion regarding the Russian, Zhirinovsky. The CONSTITU­TION-FEDERALIST PAPERS will be so ongoing that we will ultimately set an entire volume or two in separation with "just" that information. Our purpose is to offer variety as with any good journalized magazine so we thank you readers for bearing along with us.

We do not claim to be publishers, knowledgeable or even very good at format or how to handle content. If we were better in­formed personally (as we thought George Green as publisher, was) we would not have handled any of our early documents as we did. It still strikes me as interesting that no-one claims as plagiarism an article of news, true, etc., in the New York Times which may well have run somewhere else, say, the London Times. This is not considered plagiarism (especially when credit is given to original sources) and is not the original publi­cation conduit. But we run the smallest thing a scientist says, proclaiming that to be truth and suddenly "ALL" our work is somehow plagiarized

Well, we are a newspaper and news magazine; I don't know how else to run the "news"! I do note that to be a human doing anything--you have to be prepared for every heinous attack there is and, furthermore, be prepared to LOSE EVERYTHING UNDER THE POINT OF A GUN AND THE LEGAL CABAL.. Funny thing--I believe that even the National Enquirer can run anything about anyone, no matter how poor is the taste, and if it is truth--it is considered "journalism". Worse, it and other tabloids can print outright lies and still it is considered journalism if "source" is offered as "being told".

FACTS IS FACTS

Readers, I hereby go on record as telling you that there are "aliens" among you, under the ground, around you, and work­ing with some of the elders of every government you serve. Whose side are "they" on? Well, it depends on which side YOU are on as to whom you consider a friend or enemy. I hope you will read right through this journal
--or go to the last portion about the "Blue Beam" project--and see if my writings seem quite so false and amusing to you--it is YOUR CHARAC­TERS WHO PLAN THESE CUTE GAMES AT YOUR EX­PENSE AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS--I ONLY TELL YOU ABOUT THEM.

Here is why the heading above regarding shark's teeth. It is remarkable that sharks do not have bones--that is scientifically proven--BUT THEY CERTAINLY DO HAVE "TEETH" AND THAT, TOO, IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN. Well, good friends, you can bet the sharks out there among you who want to enslave you--will use those teeth every chance--every chance!

NEWS ITEMS ABOUT "US"

Since the nit-wit write-up in a Las Vegas ad-sheet I am asked about it and if it hurts my feelings? Feelings? I find it pathetic and some things even more interesting than others. Here is THE state with guardianship laws for men and businesses and the people doing that paper in point, out of Las Vegas--knew nothing about the laws they listen to George Green BLAST. Why would this Mr. Cohen go speak to Cort Christie about in­corporation in Nevada? Because he, even working IN NEVADA--had no idea there were coverages and protections under their laws. He went to find out about it--because his very own business is incorporated in Arizona.

Further, I enjoy the way he quotes George Green as telling the world that the Phoenix Institute and Ekker are just working a Pyramid-Ponzi scam. (???) Mr. Green established the very plan and got all the money up front and then took off--to cover his assets in Nevada (which now he also knocks) along with gold coins he took from the Institute. He was an officer AND a di­rector. Would this not seem to absolutely incriminate himself as to INTENT if nothing more?

No one here claims to have known anything about either pub­lishing or running a ponzi scheme of some kind. That may not be an admission of super-intelligence but, as a publisher
--I note that he even lied about copyrights! He had a good argument, I suppose, in blaming me for everything except that he still has the books under such label all stashed away AND also refuses to honor his "note" with the Institute. If others who owe the In­stitute fail to pay their notes and obligations--is that not like a bank? How can any business honor one set of notes above those of another? The point was to have business to meet obligations. ALL limited requests for obligations could easily be met if Mr. Green would simply pay his own note and return the gold taken and buried in his back yard for safe hiding!

Perhaps the most amusing accusation is that of shouting about the Institute using money to defend itself--legally. Well, some­one tell me how a corporation can NOT
do same??? If it were YOUR funds in jeopardy--wouldn't YOU want your interests served? Mr. Green even told one party he planned to get her money out (someway) and then use it against her to pay his legal bills! Is this honor? Now that we have been offered both legal reference and over $2 million in a loan to defend ourselves--that too is pounced on like choice blood-feast. That money will come from one we all know, but that "side" seems to say does not exist: Ronn Jackson. It is his money and I would think he could support anyone or anything he wishes. In exchange, the paper will basically be turned over to him for his further in­forming the public of ongoing operations in your enemy gov­ernment and help organize some unification of outlying players. There is no intent of fighting, unlawful behavior or anything of the kind
--just simple truth and information flow. Further, THAT loan will be covered by "gold" waiting a rise in pricing. Which is now SCHEDULED to be set at $1,200 to $2,000 per ounce very shortly. I think it plain to see that if you purchase an ounce of gold at $383 and its value is straight across at $2,000/oz that there is ample coverage in security--with a note against it. Or, is there something WRONG with my arithmetic. There was never anything else presented to anyone--even by Mr. Green who was going to start his own program within the past few months.

The funds WERE BORROWED to cover costs of getting information out to you and other projects--as is PROVEN by the very notes Mr. Green refuses to pay. He said he "borrowed" the money for publication expenses. Well, good readers, those books published were not even all ours--as agreed upon! Besides, he has both the money, now, and the books--all nicely and untruthfully marked "copyrighted by America West". So be it.

My people find it hard to believe that this kind of a thrust would be publicly made--about the Institute defending itself for protec­tion of participants. THAT IS THE LAW, READERS! AND, FURTHER MORE--A LAWYER IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO HANDLE THE CASE--BY LAW!

BILL CLINTON

Now, tell me where you are on this observation: "YOU PAY FOR BILL'S DEFENSE". "President Bill Clinton is using taxpayer dollars to defend himself against a personal morals charge (Paula Jones)". You bash people for following the law and defending against destruction of an Institute and yet--this other garbage is ongoing just like the Eveready rabbit. In fact, let's look at this Clinton "morals" case. Thank you, SPOT­LIGHT, for this insight. This is by Mike Blair--one of the best investigative journalists anywhere!

QUOTING:

President Bill Clinton is using lawyers from the Justice De­partment, funded by U.S. taxpayers, to help his private attor­neys prepare his defense against sexual discrimination charges filed against him by Paula Jones.

She is claiming Clinton made extremely crude sexual ad­vances to her while he was governor of Arkansas. Although the statute of limitations on sexual harassment has run out, she claims she suffered in her state job for rejecting Clinton by be­ing ostracized and denied promotions, and so has filed sex dis­crimination charges.

At the request of the White House, the Justice Department is studying whether Clinton can be protected from Jones' sex dis­crimination suit while he remains in office as president.

In 1982 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that presidents cannot be sued for acts committed while in office, [H: I didn't read that in your Constitution!] but the charges Clinton is facing oc­curred some 20 months before he took office as president.

NOT EXEMPT

Many legal scholars contend that since he was not president at the time, he must face the charges just as any other citizen.

It is this contention that the Justice Department lawyers are studying to assist the president's attorneys, led by high-powered Washington lawyer Robert Bennett, brother of former Educa­tion Secretary William Bennett.

Bennett is also currently counsel for Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (D-IL), powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who is fighting charges of misuse of public funds in a scandal involving the House post office. [H: Yes but it is costing
Mr. Rostenkowski right through his OWN prover­bial nose!]

It is believed that Clinton's legal expenses could cost millions (of dollars). The work being done on his behalf by Justice De­partment personnel, presumably with the guidance of Attorney General Janet Reno, could ultimately cost the taxpayers addi­tional millions.

Jones is one of several individuals including Arkansas state troopers assigned to protect Clinton while he was governor and a number of other women, who have come forward with similar accusations against the president.

The charges faced by the president in the Jones case are the worst ever leveled at a sitting president.

Jones charges that after having a member of his state police staff entice her to his room at the hotel, Clinton made several sexual advances, then dropped his pants and asked her to per­form a sexual act.

Regarding Clinton's questionable use of Justice Department attorneys to help in his defense, one of Jones' attorneys, Gilbert Davis, said he feels "a bit outgunned".

"But David won his battle with a slingshot, and we feel con­fident we have a pretty good case," the attorney added.

* * * *

Now, as to my refusing interviews and other confrontations with writers, radio talk-show hosts, etc., I think the next will show you a good example of WHY. There is little truth or even sim­ilarity of content with what is offered, published or construed with truth or the original statements. Here is an excellent ex­ample:

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT YO READ
IN AN ESTABLISHMENT NEWSPAPER,
AS A U.N. ENVOY DISCOVERED RECENTLY.

by Warren Hough

The Washington Times has "misquoted me and utterly mis­represented my views", U.N. diplomat Patti Londono Jaramillo told the SPOTLIGHT on May 24.

Only hours earlier, a report in the Washington Times, a daily newspaper published in the nation's capital and financed by mysterious Korean cult leader and ex-convict Sun Myung Moon, blamed the U.N.s growing preoccupation with gun con­trol on the "freewheeling U.S. small-arms business".

To support the claim that smaller nations feel threatened by the Constitutional right of American citizens to own guns, the Washington Times invoked an alleged statement made by Ms. Londono, the respected counselor of Colombia's U.N. delega­tion.

According to the Times, Ms. Londono asserted, "Colombia's problem is that in the U.S. you can legally buy and sell arms, and those arms are transferred illegally out of the country. But in Colombia any purchase of arms is illegal".

STORY REPUDIATED

"I never said anything like that, and the Times knows it," Ms. Londono told this populist newspaper. "To declare that in Colombia 'any purchase of firearms is illegal', is ridiculous. And the U.N. study of international gun controls is not driven by the 'freewheeling U.S. small-arms business', as the Times put it. It was triggered by a series of extraordinary crimes com­mitted, often in paramilitary fashion, by drug gangsters and ter­rorist hit squads whose illicit weapons and tactics came not from the U.S. BUT FROM ISRAEL", she added.


In a written repudiation to the Washington Times, Ms. Lon­dono stated that "For the sake of clarity and justice, I would ap­preciate it if you do not attribute to me concepts and relations that I have not mentioned or made".

* * * *

I find the more important statement in the above being the statement regarding Israel. Why? Because I am a bigot? No, readers, because of the way everything is handled in the Establishment media--especially anything regarding Jews or Israel. Am I against Israel? No, in fact it is a nice little piece of terri­ble land mass called PALESTINE. The United Nations decided that Palestine was of no value and gave it to the Zionists--not even the Judeans--but rather the Zionist Khazarian Bolsheviks. They have NEVER kept a single promise nor peace overture. A "Jew"(s) massacred a whole big bunch of Palestinians in a Mosque and yet now that things aren't so great on the "peace treaty" front--it "is all Yassir Arafat's fault". Mideast PEACE? The Jewish Israelis have NEVER WANTED PEACE. In fact, the very LAST THING they want is PEACE! Most specially in the places around the "Holy" lands, Jerusalem, etc. How else can they excuse the tearing down of the Mosque and putting up their own temple on the same spot--so you hoodwinked people can have your Rapture? Will you NEVER wake up?

Let's look at this article in U.S. News, an editorial by the Edi­tor-in-Chief, Mortimer B. Zuckerman. This is, after all, one of "their" publications (the controlled media).

QUOTING:

THE END OF 'A PATCHED-UP AFFAIR'?

The first few days of Palestinian control over Gaza and Jeri­cho do not augur well for the Mideast peace process. Two Is­raeli soldiers were killed by Gazans who melted into the Pales­tinian population without Arab police pursuit; three Israelis were arrested by the Palestinian police in breach of the agreement; without legal authority; Yassir Arafat canceled most regulations and orders for Gaza and Jericho that Israel had enacted for the occupied territories.

Worst of all, on May 10, the chairman of the Palestine Lib­eration Organization let the mask slip in a speech in Johannes­burg. Arafat was secretly recorded when he told a mosque au­dience: "You have to come and fight a jihad [holy war] to liber­ate Jerusalem, your precious shrine". Then he likened the Oslo and Cairo agreements with Israel to the prophet Muhammad's agreement with the Quraysh tribe in A.D. 628. Unable to con­quer Holy Mecca with his army, Muhammad adopted the stratagem of agreeing to a 10-year peace to lull the Meccans into a false sense of security while building up his own forces. He had no intention of keeping this agreement, and two years later he fell on the city when he felt strong enough to conquer it. Arafat's implication was clear: If Muhammad could violate such a pact with the Meccans, as Arafat described it, so could Arafat violate his pact with the Jews.


There is no possible camouflage for Arafat's hint of treach­ery. He had no political need, in a South African mosque, to assert his revolutionary credentials. It is all of a piece with his past references to the so-called phased plan of 1974, in which PLO policy became: We will take whatever part of Israel we can get now, and the rest later. It is all of a piece with the PLO's return to pre-Oslo terrorism. Arafat has disregarded the public letter he signed in September, renouncing and denouncing all terrorist activities and promising to discipline those engaged in them. Instead, he has continued to finance and support the killers, even within his own Fatah faction. More Israelis were murdered in the six months following the September handshake than in the six months before.

Now the Israeli public is in an uproar. Many leading com­mentators conclude that Arafat is not serious about peace, that the decisive view in the Arab world is not one of reconciliation but of "only a cease-fire until the next stage", as Abbas Zaki of the PLO Central Committee put it. The seeming unwillingness of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres to hold Arafat's feet to the fire is a profound disillusion­ment for the long-suffering Israelis. They regard the Rabin-Peres rationalization of PLO actions as craven, confirming in their minds that most Arabs still believe unremitting hostility, violence, pressure and betrayal can extract more concessions and force the Jews out.

The Israelis began this process with goodwill. [H: The Is­raelis have never started ANYTHING with "goodwill"!] They hoped that the Arabs were as exhausted as they were, that they had moved away from ideological hatred and had pragmati­cally opted to share the land with the Jewish state in peace. But Arafat's words come on top of a menacing poll taken by an Arab academic. It showed that none of the 1,000 Arabs and Palestinians polled wants to make genuine peace. Respondents saw the agreements only as a stopgap, pending resumption of the conflict when the Palestinians would be stronger and Israel weaker. The Israelis now fear there will never be a "last con­cession", that terrorism will never end--or, as T.S. Elliot wrote:

Is it war or peace?
Peace, but not the kiss of peace.
A patched-up affair, if you ask my opinion
...I think that this peace
Is nothing like an end, or like a beginning.

The Israelis now have confirmation of what they suspected: that Arafat is not a man of his word. They would be well ad­vised to hold back further withdrawals. They should have the support of all nations seeking peace if they insist that they will yield no more until they are sure the PLO is really honoring its commitments and surer still that their security cannot be threatened. [H: The Israelis NEVER FOR ONE MINUTE EVEN "THOUGHT" OF GIVING UP ANY LAND! This is simply the useful thorn to present to the world and whine, scream and point fingers--the atrocities against the Palestinians have been so terrible as to not even bear relationship. AND, THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG IN AMERICA (ISRAEL HOMELAND--NOT OF GOD'S CHOSEN BUT OF THE KHAZARIAN ZIONISTS).]

Arafat invites the world's censure. He should be made to understand that the Israelis must have an agreement that is self-regulating and self-sustaining, one that does not depend on the goodwill of a PLO seemingly bent on destroying any atmosphere of optimism. As Francis Bacon said, hope is a good breakfast but a poor supper.

END OF QUOTING

And just how unbiased do you think the other articles are in that magazine? This is from the June 6 issue. It has Oliver North pictured on the front. There is reference to Hillary Clinton AND Oliver North--I hope you each have an opportunity to wit­ness the different slants on each. I remind you people--if you cannot get some freedoms and unbiased information back into the media and publications--what chance do you have for re­claiming freedom?

Yes I realize that you are rather forced to expect me to be against the ones who blatantly call themselves "Anti-Christ", being as I am an immediate compatriot WITH the "Christ". However, readers, attitudes nor allegations present facts as such--only historic evidence IN TRUTH. I repeat for all to hear and see: ZIONISM IS NOT JUDAISM! Perhaps we need to again offer a document by an American rabbi on the subject and then, perhaps, you will consider possibilities of truth in that which we have offered unto you.

This is not a NEW conjured statement of some kind--this was is­sued all the way back in December of 1975. The facts are that the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and innumerable PAC groups and all manner of subtle takeovers by these Zionist groups are evident, public--even if not shown in any media, and are prevalent everywhere you look. What of the "Jews" who actually mistakenly call themselves "Jews"? What recourse do THEY have to claim their rightful heritage according to the old Hebrew laws? The Zionists are Talmudic people who base ev­ery action on the Zionist Protocols of the Elders, whether or not even the followers realize as much.

ZIONISM ISN'T JUDAISM
RABBI ELMER BERGER

QUOTING:

An American rabbi, Elmer Berger, wrote the Saudi Ambas­sador to the U.N. recently (about. Nov.-Dec. 1975). As presi­dent of Jewish Alternatives to Zionism, Inc., he reprinted his letter as a full page ad in the Washington Post and other papers. Because the U.N. is now being excoriated in the press on its vote that Zionism is racist, the ad did much to explain the dif­ference between Zionism and Judaism.

Rabbi Berger's letter begins, "As an American Jew, and a long-time anti-Zionist, I welcome your invitation to attempt to clarify the meaning of Zionism in the context of the recent United Nations debate. It is, in my opinion, unfortunate that the problem was not addressed more precisely in the course of the debate.


"It should be made clear that there are a number of varieties of Zionism. There is Messianic Zionism, held as a tenet of faith by many Christian faiths as well as by Judaism. And then there is Israeli Zionism, oriented, predicated on Israel's Declaration of Independence in 1948, which said, 'Israel will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of Exiles'.

"The Declaration of Establishment also states, 'The mission of gathering in the exiles is the central task of the State of Israel and the Zionist movement in our days and requires constant ef­forts by the Jewish people in the Diaspora' ".

Berger then goes on, "It is clear that the process of building up a state for the Jewish people, identified either by religion or birth by a Jewish mother, continues within the framework of a 'democracy' of privileging Jews in Israel. This affects the structure of the economy, educational opportunities, rights of political organizations, public subsidies for activities such as agriculture, provisions of public services such as roads, utilities and housing, among others".

"Israel is a state, therefore, in which if apartheid is not as blatant or as territorially viable as South Africa, Jews are nev­ertheless more equal than others. The application of Zionist laws make discrimination a matter of national politics. This being so, it is an abandonment of democratic principle to accuse those who oppose these public policies of malevolent or 'obscene' motivations".

Rabbi Berger adds: "I am unsure of what racism may mean to all of those who participated in the U.N. debate or have been witness to it or some of its side shows. But if racism is a form of government or a structure of society in which national rights and responsibilities are officially legislated upon the basis of creed, color or ethnic derivation, then the Zionist character of much basic Israel law qualifies".

Recently a Jew named Alvin Levine wrote an article for the Jewish periodical Jewish Weekly American Examiner. He said: "The cause of anti-Semitism in the U.S. is not the Ku Klux Klan or Liberty Lobby or the Minute Men. The main cause is our Jewish leaders, who are becoming more and more short-sighted, dogmatic, inflexible and arrogant. In this country the Jewish people are treated better than in any other country in the world, including Israel. This mood may soon disappear unless sensible reason prevails".

Well, that was in 1975--almost two decades ago. Where are you now? Let me suggest that you had better start to pay atten­tion because, little ones, with Project Blue Beam you are going to get "raptured" by those nice Zionists--right out into ever-lov­ing never-never land and it "ain't" into HEAVEN! Salu.

MESSAGES FROM GOD

GOD SPEAKS TO US IN OUR JOY--BUT SHOUTS
TO US IN OUR PAIN!
DO YOU HEAR?

ILLUSIONS AND DELUSIONS

You witness a beauteous sunrise with promise of a day of glory--IF YOU NEED NOT RAIN OR ULTRAVIOLET RAYS! Which, then, is your perception? Disappointment in another cloudless, rainless day of DNA transference to an already weak­ened body? OR, glory that you have more lessons to learn? Come on, chelas, get with this program --even if BOTH are illu­sion, it is your responsibility to act in appropriate response lest you walk through this play with no life at all... But, do you blame--or do you "thank" God? Why? Is the sunrise within or without your control? Is not ALL but a perception? If you are filled you are not hungry and food has little meaning if a feast be laid before you--but if you are starving just the smell of food will ignite a fire of want within.

Ones continue to shout at me, "...you are a narrow being..."! Ah, but as I speak with you--I am but a participant in a play well under way and actually nearing its change.
If I say, "God places conditions..." then I am, again, a rotten and false god of some sort! When I write of Wicca and influences of evil even though the "intent" is thought to be grand--I am pounced upon as if I be the devil in disguise. So be it. If you wish to eat the chaff and leave the wheat it is your pleasure and your choice. I ask that all "rebuttals" be made available but I have been asked to take no more space in the paper for such. Since the paper is the focus of a separate team, I honor that, even though there be only one such note to offer.

JOHN S.

John's brother, James, asks that John be allowed to remain in Sacramento in the new housing place in which he now resides until his own wife's recent surgery heals a bit. Then he will ar­range for conservatorship so that John might be where he would ask to be.


When John arrived at his new place from the Alzheimer's center in Bakersfield he was found to bear an infection and was in­fested with vermin. He is doing well now even though no one is told where he is located nor are friends allowed to visit. He IS being cared for according to his brother and we thank Jim for continued updates. But what of John? Is it not sad to have a man still incarcerated and virtually held in isolation so that an­other might gain his property? He is hundreds of miles away from his home and his friends but still the parties involved de­mand it to be so. And how is YOUR life going? This is going to become the "norm", my friends, and I wonder who will come and get you out? Families are ripped asunder in this day--how does yours feel about you? Will YOU have a visitor once every couple of weeks while you are disallowed to participate in that which you have spent your life in preparation to attain? It bears pondering for this is an example of how it will be.

GUNTHER RUSSBACHER

No report update as to status.

RONN JACKSON

We are told that ones have investigated Ronn Jackson and he does not exist. So be it.
I guess I don't know who all you peo­ple are writing to, getting responses from, and visiting. I sup­pose it is assumed it is "...just another of Hatonn's famous lies and disinformation..."! Is Ronn Jackson everything unto everyone? No--he was certainly a most negative impacting person on some he has met around the globe. However, he worked for some very important people who impact your lives EVERY DAY OF EXISTENCE and they KNOW ME AND THEY KNOW THE SCORE...!

I wish to go on record here, however, that "I" never suggested anyone "tweak"
Mr. Fort's neck. I believe that Dharma has thought about a Chiropractic adjustment
in "tweaking" for Mr. Green and even that was done in total fun and frustration. In the same tone of fun I offered that perhaps Mr. Green should eat all that gold to which he claims gifting--and go for a bit of R&R at the old swimming hole.

So, what is wrong? NOTHING! Think, please. On Tuesday there is a closing of your Congressional sitting (setting, if you prefer). It is known that when Ronn Jackson goes into motion and the CONTACT continues to carry the ball--it is a BAD, BAD, BAD game ahead for the Congressmen and criminal politicians. Why is Rostenkowski playing games of delay and detain? UNTIL, OF COURSE, FOCUS IS ELSEWHERE AND CONGRESS IS IN SUMMER RECESS!! HOLD TO YOUR PATIENCE--A LOT OF POLITICAL LIVES ARE ON THE LINE HERE AND BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN MORE LIKE "PUT IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE" THAN, "SURE, JOE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHUT UP....". In addition, how many banks have you noted to be open and in operation through the Memorial Day weekend? Patience has nothing to do with it--these are the FACTS of liv­ing.


What do you people believe? Do you actually think that angels are going to come sprinkle stardust on your pillow and perfec­tion will come sweeping over the world? Is THAT the way your world seems to be headed? Even the tooth-fairy, at best, through very human hands, leaves a dime, a quarter or what­ever. How many elves and fairy feather dusters have come in their own true form and done your work for you? Perhaps a good neighbor or a loved one has hopped in and helped bail the boat--but no fairies, my good friends.

CHILDHOOD'S END

You are to the end of childhood, nappers. I suggest all of you make Arthur Clarke a bit more wealthy--and go get a small book called CHILDHOOD'S END. It is written as fiction, just as we wrote Sipapu Odyssey. However, it is time you FACE the consequences of your actions on Earth, confront WHO might be the brethren--and What and Who might be "GOD" in this play!

There are major REASONS that we present in the manner in which we come. There are more important things in this world than your opinions on any selective basis if you are considering the massive impact of what is going on--on the world.

There is a VERY POWERFUL "COMMITTEE" and it may well function right through your United Nations at some point along here--actually, it already does so.
It is more powerful than the Committee of 300 and if nothing else--recognizes our participation, our mission and our purpose.

ORION

There are jests and fun over the possibility of space aliens being among you--there are well over 2,000,000 from Orion alone. They integrate with you and look like you. They are NOT lizards nor serpents. Some are thin and some are chubs. There is an effort to secure, intact, the globe--it is no good to anyone, good or evil, blown to smithereens.

What is it you people WANT? More lies? More false teachings that tell you anything and everything is "OK" and it won't mat­ter? It matters! Indeed there are "conditions"
--why would God have otherwise given you rules by which to live and interact? Even the one that says, "Do unto others that which you would have them do unto you"? Is this not a SUPREME "commandment"? However, to call my people robbers and thieves is an interesting concept after a whole entity has been destroyed by one of its own! So be it for it shall be in the "eating" of the pudding as to whether or not the cook placed sugar or alum!?!

SHIFTING

It is a time for some to readjust, relocate and redefine needs of the present. As this takes place there is great appreciation for friendships made and allowance for representatives at other ends of network chains. As the work becomes more focused in lead­ership through the national reclamation of your foundation laws in an attempt to regain your Constitution, we hope ones will consider becoming a hub or information focus. This can be done from anyplace wherein there is computer and phone ser­vice. These things can be spoken of later and certainly it is a most human physical need and responsibility. Find your place wherein you are happy and feel most content--and THEN, only then, can you open to your calling. As the network grows in the human expression about your nation--so too will be the need for such management centers so that the flow is allowed to every corner. This has nothing to do with religion--THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR NATIONAL RECOVERY. One or two fax networks, for instance, may be sufficient--but the life-blood for these centers must come from the support centers. Do not be surprised at who may well be your ally in the international media snatch-up game! A rebel "with a cause" is sometimes not noted at onset of the rebellion. A Fox opening up the hen-house from the clutches of the wolves may be a most remarkable change in events--perhaps the wolf-pack is in a bit of trouble? Is a "fox" a good master for the hen­house? No, but one on your side is better than that which IS in the disguised wolf world.

There are a couple of things I ask to share with you from the "network". The first two come from the Center for Action, Citi­zens for A Constitutional Washington, John R. Prukop, Ex. Dir:. 11910-C Meridian East, #142, Puyallup, Washington, P.Zone 98373/TDC.

QUOTING:

THE GREAT ELECTION FRAUD OF 1994

A great legal fraud has come to light which must be re­solved in 1994 or the elections normally held to fill all public offices may have to be cancelled, nationwide, based on the statutes of fraud. Here are the facts to be considered.

On March 9, 1933, the U.S. Congress delegated to Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) the WAR POWERS--emergency rule by Executive Order--(which temporarily SUSPENDED THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, hereinafter referred to as CBR) in order to deal with the monetary crisis then existing. Much of the bureaucracy with us today was cre­ated during the first one hundred days of the FDR Administra­tion when most official acts were, deliberately, unconstitutional, but nobody cared because of the so-called monetary crisis. This unconstitutional "bureaucracy" created in 1933 could only exist and operate WHILE EMERGENCY RULE REMAINED IN FORCE AND THE CBR REMAINED SUSPENDED! Keep this in mind.

However, it soon became apparent to those in the seats of power that a permanent state of "emergency" was deemed nec­essary if the unconstitutional (fully socialist) bureaucracy cre­ated in 1933, were to remain functional and given some form of accepted legality. To accomplish this without alerting the peo­ple, a practice was developed [National Emergencies Act., Sec. 202(d)] whereby the President transmits to the Congress (quietly) a notice to extend the "emergency" for another year. President Clinton did his part on May 25, 1993 when he "extended" the national emergency created by George Bush the year before [Executive Order #12808] using the crisis in Bosnia for the excuse. Clinton will have to repeat that "extension" again in 1994, using the same, or some other contrived "emergency" to keep his fully socialist and unconstitu­tional bureaucracy alive and well one more year.

But there is a far more sinister side to these yearly "extensions" we need to examine here and now. When the President "extends" the Emergency, he also fully SUSPENDS AND NULLIFIES THE CBR WITH THE FULL COOPER­ATION AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONGRESS BUT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PEOPLE. It is NOT a media event. These are deliberate and premeditated acts of TREASON and SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY TO OVER­THROW the CBR by the Federal Government. It has resulted in 61-years of governing where the CBR has been "OFFICIALLY", BUT SECRETLY, SHELVED. Now we know how and WHY unconstitutional bills get legislated. (NAFTA, Brady Bill, etc.).

This "OFFICIAL" SUSPENSION OF THE CBR--see Title 12 USC Sec. 95(a) & (b)--the current law of today--needs to be­come the chief issue for any one running for public office, ex­cept those who are Democrats or Republicans, as they are re­sponsible for the above crimes. Candidates winning an election could never promise, or give their constituents any REPRE­SENTATION whatsoever and COULD NOT BE SWORN-IN, by law, to support and defend the CBR when IT HAS BEEN, AND STILL IS, "OFFICIALLY" SUSPENDED, BY STATUTE.

THE ENTIRE ELECTION PROCESS IN 1994, for reasons above, is only for fools and knaves for it is total FRAUD as long as "EMERGENCY RULE" REMAINS IN EFFECT.

As a candidate, you can become a prime mover TO END EMERGENCY RULE and restore the CBR to its rightful place in the affairs of government. Get yourself informed on this is­sue (see below) and may God guide you and bless you in this pursuit!

NEWS RELEASE
MAY 26, 1994

CONSTITUTIONAL TREASON

(Puyallup, Washington) Just in case you missed it, on February 1, 1994, CBS Radio News announced that Senate Re­publican leader Bob Dole of Kansas had been "enlisted" to fight the so-called "WAR ON CRIME". The "sound bite" containing Senator Dole's own words stated he had become a "convert" and that he would now support a "thirty-million-dollar FED­ERAL GUN BUY-BACK program", similar to ones that have been utilized with mixed success at the State and local levels. Dole admitted, however, that with 200-million guns on the streets, the program won't do much to stop crime. [H: Dear ones, don't you see what is more important HERE? A 'WAR' is the same as announcing an "emergency". By declaring the ongoing "war on crime" you have JUST EX­TENDED THE STATE OF EMERGENCY...!]

Under the disguise of "crime prevention" and "health care reform", a massive effort is under way to disarm America, be­ing promoted under various pretenses at all levels of govern­ment. Here in Washington State alone a total of 65 or more anti-gun measures had been impressed upon the legislature, some under the heading of "youth violence reduction". This anti-gun feeding-frenzy threatens honest law-abiding Citizens and their unalienable right to keep and bear arms to self de­fense. But why is it that those who are most in favor of "gun control" are the ones softest on the criminal? Why is it that collectivist methods are the only solutions they propose? The answer should put you into a state of fear.

Little is known about an obscure yet dramatic piece of legis­lation that was enacted into law by the Congress in 1961. At the behest of then Senator Prescott Bush of Connecticut, yes the father of George Bush, President John F. Kennedy signed into law Public Law 87-297 on September I, 1961. This law can be located in the United States Code, Title 22, and beginning at Section 2551. This law set the stage for the creation of the "United States Disarmament Agency" and set in place the po­litical machinery to DESTROY our nation's sovereignty. No­tice the word "disarmament" in the title of this agency. Every Congress and every President since 1961 has worked, methodi­cally, and craftily, to implement various provisions of Public Law 87-297. It is all part and parcel of the march to merge America into the "New World Order". All public policy is a re­sult of the "emergency" OF 1933. WHAT "EMERGENCY"...you say? Read on.

With the foregoing in mind, are we now to believe that all of a sudden Senator Bob Dole has had a "change of heart" from his previously stated position, that he was now a "convert" and would support the WAR ON CRIME, and that he will now support the filibuster of the Schumer/Feinstein Amendment, the so-called "Assault Weapon Ban" contained in H.R. 42967 which let the first salvo of the Brady Bill pass with only THREE SENA­TORS ON THE FLOOR. In January, he urged the President
--on national television--TO SUPPORT THE SENATE VERSION OF THE CRIME BILL containing the FEINSTEIN GUN BAN. This is the same Senator Bob Dole who also introduced a reso­lution SUPPORTING CLINTON's POSITION ON THE CHICAGO GUN SWEEPS--WITHOUT WARRANTS--TO SEARCH FOR AND SEIZE GUNS.

And remember well, with the suspension of the Constitution FOR the United States OF America on March 6, 1933, and its continuation for the past 61-years by various Presidential Exec­utive Orders, including those recent Executive Orders of Presi­dent William J. Clinton, the American people are under the awesome power of a Constitutional Dictatorship, under the War Posers and the Trading with the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917. Since 1933, the American people have not had the often quoted and misheralded 2nd Amendment Right to "keep and bear arms". It is only through "license" by the "statutorily cre­ated right" that you presently have the ability of firearms owner­ship. One must understand the legal meanings of the words: "owner" and "transfer" as used in the law as it pertains to the Federal Firearms--under license--as a result of the Constitutional Treason and the Acts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 73rd Congress of 1933.

The remedy? First things first. Because the American peo­ple are unaware of being unaware, they must first be made aware. Therefore, we strongly recommend: that Americans be made aware of the treason and seditious conspiracy, and the "emergency" we've all been under for the past 61-years, by ob­taining the material presented in the prior writing . The materials are not copyrighted, therefore once you obtain a master set, you may duplicate and distribute them at will. But remem­ber, the messengers have paid dearly to bring you the research to put all of the pieces together, starting at a single focal point, from which all the rest of America's problems originate. Once the American people understand what the problem is, we can then begin to correct the misdeeds of the past 61-years of the "emergency". Once the American people understand the per­fidy, greed and avarice that have held them in bondage all these years, there will be no need to run in circles from one Patriot meeting to the next in search of that elusive and magic "silver bullet".

Thank you. Please support these people, readers. They have no magic to attend them and if their voices are silenced--it will be YOUR loss for they mostly have nothing more to lose.

ALERT--ALERT--ALERT

This comes from three directions so we will run the next mes­sage. I will not make comment.


TO: Ken Vardon, APFN:

5/25/94

All kinds of rumors are flying tonight and I need to know if you have heard any of them. First it came in from Gary Hunt that all the large cities have put their police and rescue people on alert. Dallas & Houston are two definite. Also the National Guard troops in Wyoming have been moved out to make room for a large number of Soviet troops (300,000) who are being flown into the country... We talked with a man in the Navy who said they are moving all the weapons from the Navy Re­serves and shipping them to Va. The Army National Guard is doing the same. (THE FEDS CAN'T ORDER THE GUARD TO DO THAT). SO IT MUST BE THE ARMY RESERVES.

Also there is a comet which has entered the area around Jupiter and it looks like it may hit Jupiter and ignite it and to ex­pect this between July 18-24. Also Cape Canaveral has been put on alert and the firemen in that area have been issued guns (or ordered to arm themselves). Engineers of NASA have been told to move north of Cape Canaveral.

Also they plan on introducing the new money July 1 and it may be exchanged as high as 1 - 10 on our old bills.

Have you heard any of this? If so please let us know.

shadows

Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadows--even unto the shadow called 'death'--I shall be sustained...! Aren't sure? Dharma made thirteen typing errors in that one sentence above--and I am as near as her mind itself--kick not yourselves for the pondering upon doubts and faith--ye are not to be blind, deaf and dumb. You are birthed to CREATE, BREATHE LIFE INTO THAT WHICH APPEARS UNSUSTAINABLE AND SHOW THE WAY--NOT ROLL INTO THINE OWN COFFIN AND COP OUT. So, with this in mind she goes forth to ignore me and promptly drops a brick on her foot. Now she sits in hurt, doubt AND misery. BUT, GLORY BE, WE FINALLY GET "THERE". She finally says to me, "Father, get it done--I release this burden to you for I can do no more this day save write. I cannot specifically or individually cause the feds to do anything. I cannot measure nor cause any other to do anything against their will--I can't even water a flowerpot without break­ing my toe--it's yours and I'll do what you want me to do, Sir, but you'll have to show me the way and attend that which I cannot. Thank you"!

You KNEW that our mission would be like no other. You KNEW that when action would REALLY BEGIN and get under way it would be like no other. YOU ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE TEACHER IS PRE­SENT AND WHEN THE NEEDS ARE AT HAND THE WAY WILL OPEN...IF YOU ALLOW IT! You will only get off the revolving wheel of "circumstance control" when you have jour­ney important enough to plot pathway and direction, needs and creation--enough to DO IT. YOU ARE NOT HELPLESS, YOU ARE CREATORS
--SO GET THEE FORTH AND CRE­ATE! And, take MY HAND and I'll take you there--for ye need not walk alone--YE CANNOT WALK ALONE! My dear ones, each day is a "trial" of one kind or another--if ye "have" how will ye use of it? If ye have "not"--what will ye do? What IS your journey and, at present, your service?

In this place, Dharma, the task is to present truth, direction, the various written lessons and to bring the principles of life, yea the Christ "way" (not a man by a label of some kind--but rather a "way" to strength and freedom) and all else is but distraction in the daily attention fragmentation. You are responsible only for YOUR part--others, theirs. But some cannot do theirs until you do yours and thus and so....

Remember the words of Benjamin Franklin, who said: "He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of Christ--will change the face of the world". I want to remind you of some­thing, readers; on the tip of the highest mountain it may appear that you can see far, however, if ye would be sustained, ye must go into the valley wherein you can grow, abide, and EXPERI­ENCE. Seeing is NOT ENOUGH--IT IS ONLY THE BEGIN­NING SO THAT ALL THAT COMES AFTER THE SEEING IS WELL-DONE, "MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL...." HEAR ALL, SEE ALL AND THEN--ACT IN WISDOM! For it is within reason and WISDOM of actions which shall allow us to prevail--not "just" survive--but prevail!

Let us return to our task of the Federalist Papers for in them comes the definition and reasoning, the logic and the MEAN­ING of your Constitution which you freedom-seekers CLAIM TO DESIRE TO RETAIN. To accomplish the task--YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IS MEANT AND INTENDED--GUESSING WILL NOT CUT-IT THIS TIME.

CONSTITUTION: ARTICLE 1
SECTION 3, PARAGRAPH 7

Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend fur­ther than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.

Federalist Papers, Excerpts:

No. 84, Par. 4, Alexander Hamilton:

Independent of those which relate to the structure of the gov­ernment, we find the following: Article 1, section 3, clause 7--"Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States; but the party convicted shall, nevertheless, be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to law". Section 9, of the same article, clause 2--"The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it". Clause 3--"No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed". Clause 7--"No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States; and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state". Article 3, section 2, clause 3--"The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeach­ment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed". Section 3, of the same article--"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be con­victed of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court".
And clause 3, of the same section--"The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason; but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture, except during the life of the person attained".

CONSTITUTION: ARTICLE 1
SECTION 4, PARAGRAPH 1

The times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the place of choosing senators.

Federalist Papers, Excerpts:

No. 59, Par. 1, Alexander Hamilton:

The natural order of the subject leads us to consider, in this place, that provision of the Constitution which authorizes the national legislature to regulate, in the last resort, the election of its own members. It is in these words: "The times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may, at any time, by law, make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing senators". (1st clause, 4th section, of the 1st article.) This provision has not only been declaimed against by those who condemn the Consti­tution in the gross; but it has been censured by those who have objected with less latitude and greater moderation; and, in one instance, it has been thought exceptionable by a gentleman who had declared himself the advocate of every other part of the system.

I am greatly mistaken, notwithstanding, if there be any article in the whole plan more completely defensible than this. Its pro­priety rests upon the evidence of this plain proposition, that every government ought to contain in itself the means of its own preservation. Every just reasoner will, at first sight, approve an adherence to this rule, in the work of the convention; and will disapprove every deviation from it which may not appear to have been dictated by the necessity of incorporating into the work some particular ingredient with which a rigid conformity to the rule was incompatible. Even in this case, though he may acquiesce in the necessity, yet he will not cease to regard a de­parture from so fundamental a principle as a portion of imper­fection in the system which may prove the seed of future weak­ness, and perhaps anarchy.

It will not be alleged that an election law could have been framed and inserted in the Constitution which would have been applicable to every probable change in the situation of the coun­try, and it will therefore not be denied that a discretionary power over elections ought to exist somewhere. It will, I pre­sume, be as readily conceded that there were only three ways in which this power could have been reasonably modified and dis­posed; that it must either have been lodged wholly in the na­tional legislature, or wholly in the state legislatures; or primarily in the latter and ultimately in the former. The last mode has, with reason, been preferred by the convention. They have submitted the regulation of elections for the federal government, in the first instance, to the local administrations; which, in ordi­nary cases, and when no improper views prevail, may be both more convenient and more satisfactory; but they may have reserved to the national authority a right to interpose, whenever extraordinary circumstances might render that interposition nec­essary to its safety.

Nothing can be more evident than that an exclusive power of regulating elections for the national government, in the hands of the State legislatures, would leave the existence of the Union entirely at their mercy. They could at any moment annihilate it by neglecting to provide for the choice of persons to administer its affairs. It is to little purpose to say that a neglect or omission of this kind would not be likely to take place. The constitutional possibility of the thing, without an equivalent for the risk, is an unanswerable objection. Nor has any satisfactory reason been yet assigned for incurring that risk. The extravagant surmises of a distempered jealousy can never be dignified with that charac­ter. If we are in a humor to presume abuses of power, it is as fair to presume them on the part of the State governments as on the part of the general government. And as it is more consonant to the rules of a just theory to trust the Union with the care of its own existence than to transfer that care to any other hands, if abuses of power are to be hazarded on the one side or on the other, it is more rational to hazard them where the power would naturally be placed than where it would unnaturally be placed.

Suppose an article had been introduced into the Constitution empowering the United States to regulate the elections for the particular States, would any man have hesitated to condemn it, both as an unwarrantable transposition of power and as a premeditated engine for the destruction of the State governments? The violation of principle, in this case, would have required no comment and, to an unbiased observer, it will not be less appar­ent in the project of subjecting the existence of the national government, into similar respect, to the pleasure of the State gov­ernments. An impartial view of the matter cannot fail to result in a conviction that each, as far as possible, ought to depend on itself for its own preservation.

As an objection to this position, it may be remarked that the constitution of the national Senate would involve, in its full ex­tent, the danger which it is suggested might flow from an exclu­sive power in the State legislatures to regulate the federal elec­tions. It may be alleged that by declining the appointment of senators they might at any time give a fatal blow to the Union; and from this it may be inferred that as its existence would be thus rendered dependent upon them in so essential a point, there can be no objection to intrusting them with it in the particular case under consideration. The interest of each State, it may be added, to maintain its representation in the national councils, would be a complete security against an abuse of the trust.

This argument, though specious, will not, upon examination, be found solid. It is certainly true that the State legislatures, by forbearing the appointment of senators, may destroy the national government. But it will not follow that, because they have the power to do this in one instance, they ought to have it in every other. There are cases in which the pernicious tendency of such a power may be far more decisive, without any motive equally cogent with that which must have regulated the conduct of the convention in respect to the construction of the Senate to rec­ommend their admission into the system. So far as that con­struction may expose the Union to the possibility of injury from the State legislatures, it is an evil; but it is an evil which could not have been avoided without excluding the States, in their po­litical capacities, wholly from a place in the organization of the national government. If this had been done it would doubtless have been interpreted into an entire dereliction of the federal principle, and would certainly have deprived the State govern­ments of that absolute safeguard which they will enjoy under this provision. But, however wise it may have been to have submitted in this instance to an inconvenience, for the attainment of a necessary advantage or a greater good, no inference can be drawn from thence to favor an accumulation of the evil, where no necessity urges, nor any greater good invites.

It may easily be discerned also that the national government would run a much greater risk from a power in the State legis­lature over the elections of its House of Representatives than from their power of appointing the members of its Senate. The senators are to be chosen for the period of six years; there is to be a rotation, by which the seats of a third part of them are to be vacated and replenished every two years; and no State is to be entitled to more than two senators; a quorum of the body is to consist of sixteen members. The joint result of these cir­cumstances would be that a temporary combination of a few States to intermit the appointment of senators could neither annul the existence nor impair the activity of the body; and it is not from a general or permanent combination of the States that we can have anything to fear. The first might proceed from sinister designs in the leading members of a few of the State legisla­tures; the last would suppose a fixed and rooted disaffection in the great body of the people which will either never exist at all, or will, in all probability, proceed from an experience of the in­aptitude of the general government to the advancement of their happiness--in which event no good citizen could desire its con­tinuance.

But with regard to the federal House of Representatives, there is intended to be a general election of members once in two years. If the State legislatures were to be invested with an exclusive power of regulating these elections, every period of making them would be a delicate crisis in the national situation, which might issue in a dissolution of the Union, if the leaders of a few of the most important States should have entered into a previous conspiracy to prevent an election.

I shall not deny that there is a degree of weight in the obser­vation that the interests of each State, to be represented in the federal councils, will be a security against the abuse of a power over its elections in the hands of the State legislatures. But the security will not be considered as complete by those who attend to the force of an obvious distinction between the interests of the people in the public felicity and the interest of their local rulers in the power and consequence of their offices. The people of America may be warmly attached to the government of the Union, at times when the particular rulers of particular States, stimulated by the natural rivalship of power and by the hopes of personal aggrandizement and supported by a strong faction in each of those States, may be in a very opposite temper. This diversity of sentiment between a majority of the people and the individuals who have the greatest credit in their councils is ex­emplified in some of the States at the present moment, on the present question. The scheme of separate confederacies, which will always multiply the chances of ambition, will be a never-failing bait to all such influential characters in the State admin­istrations as are capable of preferring their own emolument and advancement to the public weal. With so effectual a weapon in their hands as the exclusive power of regulating elections for the national government, a combination of a few such men, in a few of the most considerable States, where the temptation will always be the strongest, might accomplish the destruction of the Union by seizing the opportunity of some casual dissatisfaction among the people (and which perhaps they may themselves have excited) to discontinue the choice of members of the federal House of Representatives. It ought never to be forgotten that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will some­times originate in the intrigues of foreign powers and will sel­dom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore, ought, in no case that can be avoided, be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situa­tion will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust. PUBLIUS

No. 60, Par. 1, Alexander Hamilton:

We have seen that an uncontrollable power over the elections to the federal government could not, without hazard, be com­mitted to the State legislatures. Let us now see what would be the danger on the other side; that is, from confiding the ultimate right of regulating its own elections to the Union itself. It is not pretended that this right would ever be used for the exclusion of any State from its share in the representation. The interest of all would, in this respect at least, be the security of all. But it is alleged that it might be employed in such a manner as to pro­mote the election of some favorite class of men in exclusion of others by confining the places of election to particular districts and rendering it impracticable to the citizens at large to partake in the choice. Of all chimerical suppositions, this seems to be the most chimerical. On the one hand, no rational calculation of probabilities would lead us to imagine that the disposition which a conduct so violent and extraordinary would imply could ever find its way into the national councils; and on the other it may be concluded with certainty that if so improper a spirit should ever gain admittance into them, it would display itself in a form altogether different and far more decisive.

The improbability of the attempt may be satisfactorily in­ferred from this single reflection, that it could never be made without causing an immediate revolt of the great body of the people, headed and directed by the State governments. It is not difficult to conceive that this characteristic right of freedom may, in certain turbulent and factious seasons, be violated, in respect to a particular class of citizens, by a victorious majority; but that so fundamental a privilege, in a country so situated and enlightened, should be invaded to the prejudice of the great mass of the people by the deliberate policy of the government without occasioning a popular revolution, is altogether inconceivable and incredible.

In addition to this general reflection, there are considerations of a more precise nature which forbid all apprehension on the subject. The dissimilarity in the ingredients which will compose the national government, and still more in the manner in which they will be brought into action in its various branches, must form a powerful obstacle to a concert of views in any partial scheme of elections. There is sufficient diversity in the state of property, in the genius, manners, and habits of the people of the different parts of the Union to occasion a material diversity of disposition in their representatives towards the different ranks and conditions in society. And though an intimate intercourse under the same government will promote a gradual assimilation of temper and sentiments, yet there are causes, as well physical as moral, which may, in a greater or less degree, permanently nourish different propensities and inclinations in this particular. But the circumstance which will be likely to have the greatest influence in the matter will be the dissimilar modes of constituting the several component parts of the government. The House of Representatives' being to be elected immediately by the people, the Senate by the State legislatures, the President by electors chosen for that purpose by the people, there would be little probability of a common interest to cement these different branches in a predilection for any particular class of electors.

As to the Senate, it is impossible that any regulation of "time and manner", which is all that is proposed to be submitted to the national government in respect to that body, can affect the spirit which will direct the choice of its members. The collective sense of the State legislatures can never be influenced by extra­neous circumstances of that sort; a consideration which alone ought to satisfy us that the discrimination apprehended would never be attempted. For what inducement could the Senate have to concur in a preference in which itself would not be included? Or to what purpose would it be established, in reference to one branch of the legislature, if it could not be extended to the other? The composition of the one would in this case counteract that of the other. And we can never suppose that it would em­brace the appointments to the Senate unless we can at the same time suppose the voluntary co-operation of the State legislatures. If we make the latter supposition, it then becomes immaterial where the power in question is placed--whether in their hands or in those of the Union.

But what is to be the object of this capricious partiality in the national councils? Is it to be exercised in a discrimination be­tween the different departments of industry, or between the dif­ferent kinds of property, or between the different degrees of property? Will it lean in favor of the landed interest, or the moneyed interest, or the mercantile interest, or the manufactur­ing interest? Or, to speak in the fashionable language of the adversaries to the Constitution, will it court the elevation of the "wealthy and the well-born", to the exclusion and debasement of all the rest of the society?

If this partiality is to be exerted in favor of those who are concerned in any particular description of industry or property, I presume it will readily be admitted that the competition for it will lie between landed men and merchants. And I scruple not to affirm that it is infinitely less likely that either of them should gain an ascendant in the national councils, than that the one or the other of them should predominate in all the local councils. The inference will be that a conduct tending to give an undue preference to either is much less to be dreaded from the former than from the latter.

The several States are in various degrees addicted to agricul­ture and commerce. In most, if not all of them, agriculture is predominant. In a few of them, however, commerce nearly di­vides its empire, and in most of them has a considerable share of influence. In proportion as either prevails, it will be conveyed into the national representation; and for the very reason that this will be an emanation from a greater variety of interests and in much more various proportions than are to be found in any single State, it will be much less apt to espouse either of them with a decided partiality than the representation of any single State.

In a country consisting chiefly of the cultivators of land, where the rules of an equal representation obtain, the landed in­terest must, upon the whole, preponderate in the government. As long as this interest prevails in most of the State legislatures, so long it must maintain a correspondent superiority in the na­tional Senate, which will generally be a faithful copy of the ma­jorities of those assemblies. It cannot therefore be presumed that a sacrifice of the landed to the mercantile class will ever be a favorite object of this branch of the federal legislature. In ap­plying thus particularly to the Senate a general observation sug­gested by the situation of the country, I am governed by the con­sideration that the credulous votaries of State power cannot, upon their own principles, suspect that the State legislatures would be warped from their duty by any external influence. But in reality the same situation must have the same effect, in the primitive composition at least of the federal House of Repre­sentatives: an improper bias towards the mercantile class is as little to be expected from this quarter as from the other.

In order, perhaps, to give countenance to the objection, at any rate, it may be asked, is there not danger of an opposite bias in the national government, which may dispose it to endeavor to secure a monopoly of the federal administration to the landed class? As there is little likelihood that the supposition of such a bias will have any terrors for those who would be immediately injured by it, a labored answer to this question will be dispensed with. It will be sufficient to remark, first, that for the reasons elsewhere assigned it is less likely that any decided partiality should prevail in the councils of the Union than in those of any of its members. Secondly, that there would be no temptation to violate the Constitution in favor of the landed class, because that class would, in the natural course of things, enjoy as great a preponderancy as itself could desire. And thirdly, that men ac­customed to investigate the sources of public prosperity upon a large scale must be too well convinced of the utility of commerce to be inclined to inflict upon it so deep a wound as would be occasioned by the entire exclusion of those who would best understand its interest from a share in the management of them. The importance of commerce, in the view of revenue alone, must effectually guard it against the enmity of a body which would be continually importuned in its favor by the urgent calls of public necessity.

I rather consult brevity in discussing the probability of a pref­erence founded upon a discrimination between the different kinds of industry and property, because, as far as I understand the meaning of the objectors, they contemplate a discrimination of another kind. They appear to have in view, as the objects of the preference with which they endeavor to alarm us, those whom they designate by the description of the "wealthy and the well-born". These, it seems, are to be exalted to an odious preeminence over the rest of their fellow-citizens. At one time, however, their elevation is to be a necessary consequence of the smallness of the representative body; at another time it is to be effected by depriving the people at large of the opportunity of exercising their right of suffrage in the choice of that body.

But upon what principle is the discrimination of the places of election to be made, in order to answer the purpose of the medi­ated preference? Are the wealthy and the well-born, as they are called, confined to particular spots in the several States? Have they, by some miraculous instinct or foresight, set apart in each of them a common place of residence? Are they only to be met with in the towns or cities? Or are they, on the contrary, scat­tered over the face of the country as avarice or chance may have happened to cast their own lot or that of their predecessors? If the latter is the case (as every intelligent man knows it to be [Particularly in the Southern States and in this State]), is it not evident that the policy of confining the places of elections to particular districts would be as subversive of its own aim as it would be exceptionable on every other account? The truth is that there is no method of securing to the rich the preference ap­prehended but by prescribing qualifications of property either for those who may elect or be elected. But this forms no part of the power to be conferred upon the national government. Its authority would be expressly restricted to the regulation of the times, the places, and the manner of elections. The qualifications of the persons who may choose or be chosen, as has been remarked upon other occasions, are defined and fixed in the Constitution, and are unalterable by the legislature.

Let it, however, be admitted, for argument sake, that the ex­pedient suggested might be successful; and let it at the same time be equally taken for granted that all the scruples which a sense of duty or an apprehension of the danger of the experi­ment might inspire were overcome in the breasts of the national rulers, still I imagine it will hardly be pretended that they could ever hope to carry such an enterprise into execution without the aid of a military force sufficient to subdue the resistance of the great body of the people. The improbability of the existence of a force equal to that object has been discussed and demonstrated in different parts of these papers; but that the futility of the ob­jection under consideration may appear in the strongest light, it shall be conceded for a moment that such a force might exist and the national government shall be supposed to be in the actual possession of it. What will be the conclusion? With a disposi­tion to invade the essential rights of the community and with the means of gratifying that disposition, is it presumable that the persons who were actuated by it would amuse themselves in the ridiculous task of fabricating election laws for securing a prefer­ence to a favorite class of men? Would they not be likely to prefer a conduct better adapted to their own immediate aggran­dizement? Would they not rather boldly resolve to perpetuate themselves in office by one decisive act of usurpation, than to trust to precarious expedients which, in spite of all the precau­tions that might accompany them, might terminate in the dismis­sion, disgrace, and ruin of their authors? Would they not fear that citizens, not less tenacious than conscious of their rights, would flock from the remotest extremes of their respective States to the places of election, to overthrow their tyrants and to substitute men who would be disposed to avenge the violated majesty of the people? PUBLIUS

No. 61, Par. 1, Alexander Hamilton:

The more candid opposers of the provisions respecting elec­tions contained in the plan of the convention, when pressed in argument, will sometimes concede the propriety of that provi­sion; with this qualification, however, that it ought to have been accompanied with a declaration that all elections should be had in the counties where the electors resided. This, say they, was a necessary precaution against an abuse of the power. A declaration of this nature would certainly have been harmless, so far as it might not have been undesirable. But it would, in fact, have afforded little or no additional security against the danger appre­hended; and the want of it will never be considered by an im­partial and judicious examiner as a serious, still less as an insuperable, objection to the plan. The different views taken of the subject in the two preceding papers must be sufficient to satisfy all dispassionate and discerning men, that if the public liberty should ever be the victim of the ambition of the national rulers, the power under examination, at least, will be guiltless of the sacrifice.

If those who are inclined to consult their jealousy only would exercise it in a careful inspection of the several State constitu­tions, they would find little less room for disquietude and alarm from the latitude which most of them allow in respect to elections than from the latitude which is proposed to be allowed to the national government in the same respect. A review of their situation, in this particular, would tend greatly to remove any ill impressions which may remain in regard to this matter. But as that view would lead into long and tedious details, I shall content myself with the single example of the State in which I write. The constitution of New York makes no other provision for lo­cality of elections than that the members of the Assembly shall be elected in the counties; those of the Senate, in the great dis­tricts into which the State is or may be divided: these at present are four in number and comprehend each from two to six coun­ties. It may readily be perceived that it would not be more difficult to the legislature of New York to defeat the suffrages of the citizens of New York by confining elections to particular places than for the legislature of the United States to defeat the suffrages of the citizens of the Union by the like expedient. Suppose, for instance, the city of Albany was to be appointed the sole place of election for the country and district of which it is a part, would not the inhabitants of that city speedily become the only electors of the members both of the Senate and Assem­bly for that county and district? Can we imagine that the elec­tors who reside in the remote subdivisions of the counties of Al­bany, Saratoga, Cambridge, etc., or in any part of the county of Montgomery, would take the trouble to come to the city of Al­bany to give their votes for members of the Assembly or Senate sooner than they would repair to the city of New York to par­ticipate in the choice of the members of the federal House of Representatives? The alarming indifference discoverable in the exercise of so invaluable a privilege under the existing laws, which afford every facility to it, furnishes a ready answer to this question. And, abstracted from any experience on the subject, we can be at no loss to determine that when the place of election is at an inconvenient distance from the elector, the effect upon his conduct will be the same whether that distance be twenty miles or twenty thousand miles. Hence it must appear that ob­jections to the particular modification of the federal power of regulating elections will, in substance, apply with equal force to the modification of the like power in the constitution of this State; and for this reason it will be impossible to acquit the one and to condemn the other. A similar comparison would lead to the same conclusion in respect to the constitutions of most of the other States.

If it should be said that defects in the State constitutions fur­nish no apology for those which are to be found in the plan pro­posed, I answer that as the former have never been thought chargeable with inattention to the security of liberty, where the imputations thrown on the latter can be shown to be applicable to them also, the presumption is that they are rather the cavilling refinements of a predetermined opposition than the well-founded inferences of a candid research after truth. To those who are disposed to consider, as innocent omissions in the State consti­tutions, what they regard as unpardonable blemishes in the plan of the convention, nothing can be said; or at most, they can only be asked to assign some substantial reason why the representa­tives of the people in a single State should be more impregnable to the lust of power, or other sinister motives, than the representatives of the people of the United States? If they cannot do this, they ought at least to prove to us that it is easier to subvert the liberties of three millions of people, with the advantage of local governments to head their opposition, than of two hundred thousand people who are destitute of that advantage. And in relation to the point immediately under consideration, they ought to convince us that it is less probable that a predominant faction in a single State should, in order to maintain its superiority, in­cline to a preference of a particular class of electors, than that a similar spirit should take possession of the representatives of thirteen States, spread over a vast region, and in several respects distinguishable from each other by a diversity of local circum­stances, prejudices and interests.

Hitherto my observations have only aimed at a vindication of the provision in question on the ground of theoretic propriety, on that of the danger of placing the power elsewhere, and on that of the safety of placing it in the manner proposed. But there remains to be mentioned a positive advantage which will result from this disposition and which could not as well have been obtained from any other: I allude to the circumstance to uniformity in the time of elections for the federal House of Representatives. It is more than possible that this uniformity may be found by experience to be of great importance to the public wel­fare, both as a security against the perpetuation of the same spirit in the body, and as a cure for the disease of faction. If each State may choose its own time of election it is possible there may be at least as many different periods as there are months in the year. The times of election in the several States, as they are now established for local purposes, vary between extremes as wide as March and November. The consequence of this diversity would be that there could never happen a total dis­solution of renovation of the body at one time. If an improper spirit of any kind should happen to prevail in it, that spirit would be apt to infuse itself into the new members, as they come for­ward in succession. The mass would likely to remain nearly the same, assimilating constantly to itself its gradual accretions. There is a contagion in example which few men have sufficient force of mind to resist. I am inclined to think that treble the du­ration in office, with the condition of a total dissolution of the body at the same time, might be less formidable to liberty than one third of that duration subject to gradual and successive alter­ations.

Uniformity in the time of elections seems not less requisite for executing the idea of a regular rotation in the Senate, and for conveniently assembling the legislature at a stated period in each year.

It may be asked, "Why, then, could not a time have been fixed in the Constitution?" As the most zealous adversaries of the plan of the convention in this State are, in general, not less zealous admirers of the constitution of the State, the question may be retorted, and it may be asked, Why was not a time for the like purpose fixed in the constitution of this State? No better answer can be given than that it was a matter which might safely be intrusted to legislative discretion; and that if a time had been appointed, it might, upon experiment, have been found less con­venient than some other time. The same answer may be given to the question put on the other side. And it may be added that the supposed anger of a gradual change being merely specula­tive, it would have been hardly advisable upon that speculation to establish, as a fundamental point, what would deprive several States of the convenience of having the elections for their own governments and for the national government at the same epoch.
