A PHOENIX JOURNAL

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.

INTRODUCTION

REC #2 HATONN

WED., AUGUST 5, 1992 3:10 PM. YEAR 5, DAY 355

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 5. 1992

As we pen a foreword for this ongoing JOURNAL may I detour before we even begin to reference the JOURNAL in hand?

In the heat of revelation of ill-begotten acts of deceit and entan­glements from which there seems no escape, comes time for reminding of fundamentals which made a nation GREAT and remembering the foundation which served citizen instead of tore him asunder.

As I purvey information and scan the happenings of "just today" I am appalled at that which blasts my senses in behalf of you-­the-unknowing.

SATELLITES AND LIES

As example, the game goes on and on and on. While you have your babies landing on the beaches of Kuwait--they themselves tell you the truth of it. When interviewed, the young men sim­ply say "...I have to do what I am ordered to do by our Presi­dent" and "...this time let's get it finished!" Get it finished? Get WHAT finished? I believe you are being told "at home" that this is an already "planned exercise" and maneuvers of ordinary nature. So what would be "finished"? What is "It"? How many are sent? How many are already there? HOW DO YOU KNOW?

So, allow us to assume, as well, that the same type of "truth" is given to you about the "space project under way". Indeed, the lies are greater but so be it. The important thing to note this day is that "...it looks like the whole project will be called off". Billions of dollars simply dumped? Is it a misleading lie when actually a first strike is in the working within the next 24 to 48 hours? Does it mean that the opposition convinced your com­mand to stop the heinous exercise? What does it mean? It means that if I were you I would keep the goggles handy--just in case! It appears that things are not going well for your NASA project but you have other things afoot which are more clues of closer to home troubles.

FEMA INSIGNIAS

I am now efforting to give you publicly that which comes in as confirmation and information. When I have received at least FIVE sources with identical references--
I shall give them to you for your own consideration. I am denounced as "false prophet" (I am a messenger--not a prophet--and Dharma is a secre­tary/translator) and "...the greatest liar of all time"! At least we get recognized as being the "greatest" something or other. Your world didn't blow up, shake away and/or blow-out with photons (at least not so you could see it) but the individuals calling names are so busy calling names that they missed all the clues and all that which did happen! Can you not realize that the very thing which is being watched in space and "called" a NASA en­ergy project--is the very instigator of the so-called Photon blast!?! Are there so very few who care so little of civilization as to call names to the messengers instead of thanking God for more time to be "alive"? Oh indeed, mankind as your species has come to be is most depressing.

Now, for "insignias". In many places but confirmation has been verified for one in particular so I shall give it to your attention. At Hill Field in Utah (Ogden) the personnel have been ordered to remove all insignias of military reference and replace them with FEMA insignias. Is this true? For the disclaimers of my "truth", I decline to verify or qualify--I simply pass it along to you.

SEISMOLOGISTS ARRIVE

On this day, at least half a dozen "top-ranking" seismologists have arrived for a lengthy stay in this town--Tehachapi. They have come because this place has been declared off-limits for destruction by human hands and/or pulses and the safety factor causes them to be unable to remain closer to the disaster points than this location. They have come from several places along the West Coast. The reports have now gone forth to the "experts" that there is "some sort of electronic shield" around this particular area and they are sent to investigate it. The blasts against this shielding are constant and massive.

COMMITTEE OF 300 AND OUR ENEMIES

It isn't that the "enemies" are "ours"--it is that the Word is sup­posed to be stopped at all costs. Therefore, I wish to share with you some facts involved in the particular lawsuit brought by the University of Science and Philosophy concerning one Walter Russell. This particular "University", which is NOT, has come into something like a $125 million "gift". In addition, sitting on the Board of Directors is a direct member of the Committee of 300!! Does this make the assault just a bit more under­standable? I thought so. IT IS INTENDED TO STOP ALL INFORMATION OF TRUTH FROM REACHING YOU­-THE-PEOPLE!
At this time there has been an extension of the court date till August 17th (a very, very strong day indeed) in which span the JOURNALS in focus (see elsewhere in the paper for details) may still be acquired. The resource is totally separate from any America West participation as well as having no connection with this scribe who, at any rate, receives nothing from the pub­lication in point. I believe, however, that the very act in progress points out the TRUTH of the circumstance. These spiritual Truths as outlaid in that set of particular JOURNALS are the most important documents on your planet this day! I can only again urge you to take advantage of getting them if you can for with this type of "power" behind the "fixed" court sys­tem--it will probably be that the books shall be banned and de­stroyed. Further, with a payload backup of $125 million to fight this case--how much "justice" do you anticipate receiving for the side of God?

This is a prime example of the buying of an institution for the direct and prime effort of destroying and burying Truth to keep it from mankind. Oh, chelas, you are in such trouble and I know not how to help you except to cause you to open your eyes.

Already this one problem has caused America West to all but bankrupt and the Greens to relocate away from this source in order to salvage anything at all. Yes, they can countersue but as you can recall from other typical legal cases such as the one in which Dharma is involved already--it takes YEARS without set­tlement and/or worthy hearing of any kind. In addition, the point is to cause such legal fees to accrue that unbacked "people" cannot fight long enough to prevail.

In fact, a third lawyer has had to be acquired by these ones to simply face this assault. This now means three lawyers and the Constitutional Law Center involved--just to allow you-the-peo­ple to get information long since buried and never intended that you receive.

BO GRITZ

I ask that this entire upcoming LIBERATOR be dedicated to full informational outlay of "Bo Gritz" except for this "Introduction" regarding the Constitution and Federalist Papers. I further ask that abundant extra copies be printed to make available to all who would share. This is a MAN chosen of GOD to serve you and lead you and yet, he too, must prove himself on the field of honor just as does each and every ONE. Will you take the cup and allow God to fill it--or will you dance with the devil and throw slings and arrows at the very messengers sent to show you the path? It is up to you--for I promise you--this man and these ones do not need the exercise in trauma--THEY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE HEADED! Once again the enemy has seemingly left you with a pile of sour lemons after "Perot"--nay, nay--sweet lemonade! But YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

There are many truthbearers who would, with sufficient backing to allow for travel and interviews, carry the banner as speakers if but asked: Victor Marchetti, Ray Renick, John Stockwell, and on and on--but they have been battered and stripped at the hands of the conspirators--YOU MUST HELP THEM OR YOU SHALL NOT HEAR THEM FOR THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN ALL THEY HAVE--IT IS NOW UP TO YOU! YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN, AMERICA--IF YOU WANT TO!

A THOUGHT

From the point of Light within the Mind of God--Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth--would YOU come forth and bear the lamp?

If you are not pounding on the Perot groups and pressing for Gritz, then you err in action. We look not for perfection--we look for the brave man who will, like David, stand against the giant as the gnat and lead you to victory. If it be not this year then it must be that you have "someone" around to rally unto as this old world goes into a tailspin. I expect your year 1995 to be about as climactic and horrendous as you could expect. There­fore, time is indeed short for you to lay any foundation of net­work value in any manner. This does NOT mean that you have clear sailing until 1995; it means that you are in the throes of the beast right now. There will not be an election as you would recognize in 1996 so that which you do NOW is your last "performance"--which shall it be?

COMPUTER CHIP INJECTIONS

All your nice young soldiers going away to a foreign land and required to have inoculations, etc? Remember them? They have just had programming chips injected along with the serum. Worse, they are considered "expendable" just as are the PRISONERS OF WAR SITTING IN PRISON RIGHT UNDER HANOI! THAT MEANS RIGHT UNDER THE NOSES OF THE "INSPECTORS" AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS WHO HAVE LIED TO YOU.

TO WHOM DO YOU TURN FOR HELP?

GOD! GOD! GOD IS SUFFICIENT UNTO ALL NEEDS--BUT YOU MUST BE IN UNDERSTANDING AND IN PRESENCE. HE HAS GRACE ENOUGH FOR ALL BUT YOU MUST TURN UNTO HIM AND FORGIVE BOTH HIM AND SELF--FOR IN RELEASING ANGER AGAINST GOD AS PERCEIVED THROUGH YOUR EXPERIENCE YOU AUTOMATICALLY FORGIVE SELF FOR THE TRANSGRESSIONS WHICH BRING SUCH A BURDEN OF GUILT AND FURY AGAINST SELF. ONLY WHEN "SELF" CAN FUNCTION IN LIGHTED TRUTH CAN YOU CLEARLY SEE YOUR PATHWAY. TAKE THE SCALES FROM THINE EYES AND LOOK UPON THE LIGHT OF GOD THAT YOU MAY KNOW. I speak not of ANY religious order or group. I speak only of your spiritual tie directly unto God. This produces the ONLY energy frequency which nothing of MAN can TOUCH. Are my people "safe"? What mean you by such a question? My people are on haz­ardous duty among the walking dead of your place--indeed we care for them.

Well, but, "How can I know who and what, etc?" (??) Keep up--if with nothing more than the LIBERATOR and JOUR­NALS. If it appears to be without your ability to believe what we lay forth for you--wait and watch the confirmations begin to pile in upon your watchful eyes and ears--if you get them awake. Learn the "clues" for which to watch--and open your mind to possibilities.

CNN?

I KNOW that you get NO NEWS and what is presented is phony and prearranged as show and tell for you--especially now, the CNN network. Of course you can KNOW that this is so--Ted Turner has publicly come forth and made a statement that he accepts NOT GOD for he is angry at God and tells all that "GOD WILL NOT HELP YOU"! He, further, is invited as head table guest at the White House when ones such as Kissinger, Gor­bachev, etc., pay State visits. He did, in fact, cast aside (publicly) the "TEN COMMANDMENTS" and replace them with the "Turner Commandments". Does this not tell you enough? These things which I give unto your attention can be verified by your own seeking. If a man will tear down GOD and cast HIM aside--he will think nothing at all of the destruc­tion of a nation and its people! Heed my words!

I simply request that you ones keep your eyes on the "visitors" within the shield. Our enemies are now in the process of actu­ally "helping us" and so was it ever to be that way. I only re­mind you ones to be cautious, use discretion and STAY WITHIN THE LIGHTED ENERGY FIELD. GOD IS SUFFI­CIENT UNTO YOUR EVERY NEED. SALU.

LET US NOW REPRINT THE "INTRODUCTION" FROM A BOOK ENTITLED THE FEDERALIST PAPERS BY CLIN­TON ROSSITER FOR I THINK YOU MUST "REMEMBER"!

QUOTE:

A TRUE AMERICAN CLASSIC

The Federalist is the most important work in political science that has ever been written, or is likely ever to be written, in the United States. It is, indeed, the one product of the American mind that is rightly counted among the classics of political the­ory.

This work has always commanded widespread respect as the first and still most authoritative commentary on the Constitution of the United States. It has been searched minutely by lawyers for its analysis of the powers of Congress, quoted confidently by historians for its revelations of the hopes and fears of the framers of the Constitution, and cited magisterially by the Supreme Court for its arguments in behalf of judicial review, executive independence, and national supremacy. It would not be stretching the truth more than a few inches to say that The Federalist stands third only to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution itself among all the sacred writings of American political history. It has a quality of legitimacy, of authority and authenticity, that give it the high status of a public document, one to which, as Thomas Jefferson put it, "appeal is habitually made by all, and rarely declined or denied by any" as to the "genuine meaning" of the Constitution.

In recent years respect for The Federalist has blossomed into admiration. It is now valued not merely as a clever defense of a particular charter, but as an exposition of certain timeless truths about constitutional government. It has caught the fancy of po­litical scientists throughout the world, has been translated into a dozen languages, and--surely the most convincing evidence of its lofty status--has become one of the three or four staples of the American college curriculum in political science. General Washington, who was trying merely to be friendly, wrote some prophetic words to Alexander Hamilton in the summer of 1788: "When the transient circumstances and fugitive performances which attended this crisis shall have disappeared, that work will merit the notice of posterity, because in it are candidly and ably discussed the principles of freedom and the topics of govern­ment--which will be always interesting to mankind so long as they shall be connected in civil society". The "notice of posterity" for the stern yet hopeful message of The Federalist has never been more attentive than in these drawn-out years of peril for constitutional democracy.

The immense prestige of this work seems especially remark­able when viewed in the light of its origins. The Federalist is essentially a collection of eighty-five letters to the public over the pseudonym of Publius that appeared at short intervals in the newspapers of New York City beginning on October 27, 1787. These letters were still appearing in late March, 1788, when the first thirty-six were issued in a collected edition. Continuous publication was halted with number 77 on April 4, then resumed June 14, and concluded August 16. In the meantime, a second volume containing numbers 37-85 was published May 28.

Conceived in the pressure of a great crisis in human events, written with a haste that often bordered on the frantic, printed and published as if it were the most perishable kind of daily news, [H: I believe my people can relate to this.],
The Federalist bore few marks of immortality at birth. [H: I wonder if the enemy will call this plagiarism and require a banning of this material from this magazine in order to bury this truth also? If you-the-people allow great truth to be buried at the hands of man--you shall perish!] It was, in fact, only one of several hundred salvos in the loud war of words that accompa­nied the protracted struggle over ratification of the Constitution. That new charter of government, it will be remembered, had been agreed upon and signed at Philadelphia, September 17, 1787, transmitted to the Congress then existing under the Arti­cles of Confederation, and thereupon laid, with no great show of enthusiasm, before the people of the United States. The approval of ratifying conventions in nine of the thirteen states was to bring the Constitution into effect. Few of its authors and supporters imagined that it would be easy to win such a margin of approval in the chaotic political circumstances of the world's first experiment in popular government over an extended area; all recognized that a clear-cut vote against the Constitution in any one of four key states would be enough by itself to destroy their hopes for "a more perfect Union".

N.Y. GOV. CLINTON OPPOSED CONSTITUTION

One of these states was New York, among whose claims to a vital role in the affairs of the new republic were a growing pop­ulation, a lively commerce, a pivotal position on the Atlantic seaboard, and New York City, then the seat of the government of the United States. It was also the home of Governor George Clinton [!], a doughty politician whose principles and prejudices and skills made him the most formidable of opponents to the proposed Constitution. Plainly New York was a state that could easily be lost and yet had to be won; plainly it was a state in which arguments voiced in public debate or actions taken in the ratifying convention might influence the course of events in other states.

It was with such thoughts as these in mind that Alexander Hamilton, the recognized leader of the forces of ratification in New York, turned in the fall of 1787 to the task of winning his state to the cause of the new Constitution. The story of how Hamilton persuaded and plotted and bullied his way over the months to the narrowest of victories in the New York conven­tion is an epic of American politics that deserves to be better known. What is important to us about this amazing effort is that Hamilton found it both practically expedient and psychologically comforting to supplement his political activities with a contribu­tion to the literary war. Without his foresight, energy, and or­ganizational skill there would have been no Federalist to stiffen the friends of the Constitution and to instruct the minds of pos­terity. He conceived the idea of a series of thoughtful commu­nications that would explain and support the proposed Constitu­tion; he scrambled for worthy contributors and finally found them in John Jay and James Madison; he wrote almost two thirds of the total of 175,000 words: he carried on the project to its scheduled end long after the other two men had been forced to leave the field. While the Publius we know and cherish today is a composite of three men, one of these men, Alexander Hamilton, must ever be regarded as the political magician who brought Publius to life. [H: How very, very sad that you of the readership probably do not know what this means nor well remember the persons from history books and school--your children of today will never have heard of them nor do they care. What has happened to you, America? What has happened to your world? There are still great men but they are hidden from you and torn asunder while your very his­tory is tampered and buried--replaced by lies and greedy Elite conspirators.]

THINKERS AND DOERS NEEDED AGAIN NOW

The authors of The Federalist made up a first-class team of thinkers and doers. John Jay (1745-1829), the oldest and at that time most distinguished of the group, was a prosperous New York lawyer who had rendered three particularly eminent ser­vices to his state and country: authorship of the admirable New York Constitution of 1777, which was a prime source of ideas for the Convention at Philadelphia; negotiation, side-by-side with Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, of the Treaty of 1783 that gave America peace and final independence; and, as Secre­tary for Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation, direction of the diplomatic maneuverings of the almost friendless republic. James Madison (1751-1836), although he could hardly have known it at the time, had already won lasting fame as the most useful member of the Convention of 1787. The Constitu­tion was the joint work of a half dozen or more superior men, yet even today, in part because of the notes he kept of the pro­ceedings of the Convention, few historians begrudge Madison the title "Father of the Constitution". Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was another New York lawyer who had served his state and country well, notably as a youthful comrade-in-arms of General Washington and as a prime mover of the events that led to the Convention of 1787. He, like Madison, was a delegate to Philadelphia; unlike Madison, he was irregular in attendance and unpersuasive in argument. His principal services to the new Constitution came only after the Convention had adjourned.

All three authors of The Federalist went on after 1788 to even more splendid careers--Jay to the Chief Justiceship and to negotiation of the famous treaty that bears his name, Madison to a distinguished eight years as the leading figure in Congress and to somewhat less distinguished eight-year tenures as both Sec­retary of State and President of the United States, Hamilton to service under President Washington as the most influential of all Secretaries of the Treasury. For those who care about such things--and many readers of this introduction are sure to care--it should be recorded that both Hamilton and Jay were graduates of Columbia, Madison a son of Princeton.

Throughout the long months during which The Federalist was running in the New York newspapers, and indeed until several years after publication of the collected essays, the identity of Publius was a well-guarded secret. This mask of anonymity, put on by the authors for sound political purposes, made it pos­sible for Hamilton, in a note written just before his death and discovered just after, to lay claim to a full sixty-three numbers of The Federalist, some of which very plainly belonged to Madison. Just why this man of honor and sound memory should have engaged in this extraordinary action is impossible to explain. In any case, he touched off a tortuous dispute that went on for generations between his political heirs and those of Madison over the authorship of various papers, especially numbers 49-58, 62 and 63. [H: I guess it hasn't changed much after all, has it?] Thanks chiefly to the scholarly labors of Professor Douglass Adair, we can say with some confidence that Hamilton wrote fifty-one numbers (1,
6-9, 11-13, 15-17, 21-36, 59-61, 65-85), Madison twenty-six (10, 14, 37-58, and probably 62, 63), and Jay five (2-5, 64), while three (18-20) were the product of a joint effort by Madison and Hamilton. The skimpiness of Jay's contribution is explained by an illness that overtook him in the fall of 1787, the impressive bulk of Hamilton's by the inten­sity of his commitment. Madison's contribution, which is far more important for the present reputation of Publius than its modest size would indicate, was made possible in the first place only because the Virginian was in New York in the fall of 1787 as a delegate to Congress. His participation ended abruptly upon his departure for home in March, 1788.

The Federalist worked only a small influence upon the course of events during the struggle over ratification. Promises, threats, bargains, and face-to-face debates, not eloquent words in even the most widely circulated newspapers, won hard-earned victories for the Constitution in the crucial states of Mas­sachusetts, Virginia, and New York. Publius, by his own ad­mission, spoke to a select audience of reasonable, responsible, and established men, and most such men had already been con­vinced of the necessity of a change in the system of government. The chief usefulness of
The Federalist in the events of 1788 was as a kind of debater's handbook in Virginia and New York. Copies of the collected edition were rushed to Richmond at Hamilton's direction and used gratefully by advocates of the Constitution in the climactic debate over ratification.

INFLUENTIAL THROUGHOUT AMERICAN HISTORY

The fame of The Federalist derives, therefore, not from the events of a single decisive year, but from the whole course of American history. It is a sign, as it were, of the prodigious suc­cess of the Constitution, which, as it has endured and evolved over the generations, has called attention ever more insistently to the man who, having helped to write it, first explained it. Viewed from this perspective, which is the one we are privi­leged to take, The Federalist appears as four books in one: an explanation of the blessings of federal government; an indict­ment of the Articles of Confederation for their failure to provide such government, or indeed to provide much in the way of government at all; an analysis and defense of the new Constitution as an instrument of federalism and constitutionalism; and, light­ing up these more practical subjects with sudden bursts of bril­liance, an exposition of certain enduring truths that provide an understanding of both the dangers and the delights of free gov­ernment.

As an explanation of the federal form of government The Federalist comes closest to being an original piece of work. Other men, to be sure--most notably Althusius and "the cele­brated Montesquieu"--had discoursed intelligently on some of the problems of unity and disunity among states with close emo­tional and commercial ties, but it remained for Publius to make the first real stab at expounding the merits of genuine federal­ism, which is, after all, a full and tricky step beyond mere fed­eration in the direction of consolidation. The Federalist deserves lasting credit for the clarity with which it insists that both levels of government in a federal system must exercise direct authority over individuals, that the central government must en­joy unquestioned supremacy in its assigned fields, and that fed­eralism is to be cherished not alone for its contributions to peace within the land and security without, but for the firm foundation it provides for the enjoyment of individual freedom over a wide expanse of territory. The Federalist, it could be said, converted federalism from an expedient into an article of faith, from an occasional accident of history into an enduring expression of the principles of constitutionalism.

Those pages of The Federalist which catalogue the weak­nesses of the Articles of Confederation make much the least in­teresting reading today. In 1787-88, however, they made very interesting reading indeed, and many friends of the new Consti­tution valued The Federalist principally for its merciless indict­ment of the "palpable defects of the subsisting Confederation". Since the indictment was one that had to be made with force and in detail, one cannot begrudge Publius the joys he must have experienced in beating a horse that may look dead to us but was very much alive to him. [H: Dharma just put us into our "proper perspective" for I must tell you--she often thinks we ride and beat a very dead horse. No--remember--GOD WINS! Perhaps it is because she has hammered out thou­sands and thousands more pages than were The Federalist papers and, only now, a few begin to see the dawning. Can you not realize that there has always been need for "great" men if goodness and freedom were to hold?] And even in the muddiest parts of the hard going from numbers 15 to 22 there are solid observations on one of the major themes of
The Feder­alist: the dreadful circumstance of a weak government in a dis­ordered society.

Up to now, at least, The Federalist has worked its chief in­fluence on the course of events as a uniquely authoritative com­mentary on the Constitution. Today, as all through the history of American constitutional development, a particular interpreta­tion of some clause in that document can be given a special fla­vor of authenticity by a quotation from Publius. If he was un­derstandably wrong in his interpretation of some details in the Constitution--for example, in assigning the Senate a share in the power of removal and in giving a purely military cast to the President's authority as commander-in-chief--he was remarkably right about many more. Publius the constitution lawyer, in the bold person of Hamilton, reached the peak of intellectual power and of historical influence in the breathtaking assertion of judicial review in number 78.

POLITICAL THEORY UNIOUELY CRYSTALLIZED

Publius the political theorist, in the perceptive persons of both Hamilton and Madison, is the man who has brought fame and influence to The Federalist in recent years--this despite the fact that all the more or less speculative musings of
The Feder­alist make up at best a fragment on government. What Hamil­ton and Madison were capable of producing as political theorists in the closet of leisurely detachment and what they managed to produce as political strategists in the arena of zestful engagement were, alas, two quite different matters. The Federalist is a contribution to political theory only by accident--by the happy accident, one might say, that neither of its chief authors could ever make a point in the most earth-bound debate without paus­ing, if only for a moment, to put the point in a larger and more abstract perspective. Yet this, after all, is the familiar way in which some of the greatest contributions to political theory were brought into being, and one should not spend too much time re­gretting the startling omissions and uneven quality of The Fed­eralist, lest he be slow to pay the homage of painstaking study to such notable contributions as Madison's reflections on the plural society in numbers 10 and 51 and Hamilton's appraisal of exec­utive power as an agency of free government in number 70.

If he does pay such homage, and if he also keeps an earnest eye out for the nuggets of speculation strewn all through the pages, the student of The Federalist will in time amass a re­spectable treasure of political wisdom about the problems and possibilities of freedom. While The Federalist has important things to say about all governments in general, it is popular gov­ernment--in those days called "republican" government--with which Publius is principally concerned. His dislike of instability and downright fear of anarchy are writ large and often in the es­says, but he offers us other and better ways than that recom­mended by Thomas Bobbes to bring peace and security to the community. To find "republican remedies" for the "diseases most incident to republican government" is the constant purpose of the authors of The Federalist.

BALANCE OF INNER FORCES

In the course of their long search for these remedies, the chief of which turn out to be federalism, social pluralism, and constitutionalism (that is, divided, balanced, and limited gov­ernment), Hamilton and Madison give their own answers to some of the oldest questions of political theory; and it is safe to say that no more eloquent, tough-minded, and instructive an­swers have ever been given by an American pen. Whether dis­coursing on the universal urge of mankind toward weakness and wickedness, demonstrating the existence of the saving graces of human reason and decency, accounting for the diverse interests that arise in a progressive society, finding a formula for liberty in the very fact of these clashing interests, setting both static and dynamic limits to the rule of the majority, or working out the balance of forces within a complex structure of government, The Federalist sends out messages of universal validity to all stu­dents of political man, and especially to those who wish him well. It is, in particular, the cold-eyed yet ultimately hopeful view of mankind that lifts
The Federalist into the circle of clas­sics in political theory. No one can read the pages without be­ing reminded powerfully of both the light and dark sides of hu­man nature--of man's capacity for reason and justice that makes free government possible, of his capacity for passion and injus­tice that makes it necessary.

It is, to be sure, a great pity that the authors of The Federalist had neither time nor inclination to sort out and restate in or­derly, comprehensive fashion their many brilliant observations about the nature of political man, or indeed about liberty or society or the purposes and forms of government. It is a greater pity, a source of especially keen distress to students of political theory, and they apparently found it unnecessary to make more than a handful of explicit observations on private property as a right of man, a pillar of ordered society, and a force in politics. Nor is the occasional character of The Federalist as a tract in political theory its only fault. As a piece of very special plead­ing--some have called it a lawyer's brief--it says the same thing over and over in a half dozen ways, tiptoes delicately around many of the hard criticisms directed against the Constitution and slogs ponderously through some of the silliest, and makes at least a few arguments and appeals which its authors must have had trouble justifying to their own consciences. Hamilton, in particular, was hardly the enthusiast for the Constitution that he appeared to be in these pages.

In recent years a good deal has been made of the fact that Publius was a "split personality", speaking through Madison as a federalist and an exponent of limited government, through Hamilton as a nationalist and an admirer of energetic government. Yet Publius was, on any large view, at least as whole a personality as any reasonable man can be when he has to deal with the everlasting tensions of free government. His own ten­sions, it might be argued, are only an honest reflection of those built into the Constitution. The Federalist, like the Constitution it expounds and the polity it celebrates, is a "bundle of compro­mises". The wonder must always be, not that Publius spoke some of the great truths of politics in an offhand manner and with a hoarse voice, but that, in the circumstances of the case, he spoke as pointedly and coherently as he did. He managed to do this principally because the thoughts of his creators, while hastily written down, had not been lightly conceived. They were, indeed, the product of years of learned study and hard experience.

Not every great political theorist has cared much for free and popular government. Of those who have cared, not every one has been candid enough to expose its disease, or hopeful enough to counsel a broad scheme of prevention.
[H: Well, we finally got there didn't we? WE CARE ENOUGH TO BE CANDID ENOUGH TO EXPOSE ITS DISEASE AND KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT RECLAMATION CAN BE CLAIMED IF YOU WANT TO DO SO BADLY ENOUGH.] The Federalist is a famous work in political science
[H: Mutu­ally exclusive terms--if it be political it cannot be "science".] because it does just that, because it mixes candor and hope, re­alism and idealism, in a message to all friends of liberty wher­ever they ply their honorable trade. And the message of The Federalist reads: no happiness without liberty, no liberty without self-government, no self-government without constitutionalism, no constitutionalism without morality--and none of these great goods without stability and order.

END OF QUOTING

* * *

I have gone on at length to hopefully get your attention unto your task. We cannot do it for you--BUT IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE YOU--PERHAPS EVEN "BY" YOU.

When the students are ready--God sends the teacher. I wonder how many of you are READY?

Further, I wonder if it will be the same--that the words are locked away unattended for the most part--until centuries have passed and the authors gone--to be handled with appreciation?

A copy of this book which contains the papers can be easily ob­tained, I believe, through any book store. It is a "Mentor book and published in the United States by NAL PENGUIN INC., 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019. In Canada by The New American Library of Canada Limited, 81 Mack Av­enue, Scarborough, Ontario M 1L 1M8. This particular book is most valuable for it has a final section which collates The Fed­eralist Papers with The Constitution of the United States of America. Every teacher must have a copy of this material and USE IT--for your children have lost their heritage and all his­torical roots. Please be among the ones who are willing to step forth and change this path to oblivion.
