Resolved, That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government . . . . and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force. . . . that the government created by this compact [the Constitution for the United States] was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; . . . . that this would be to surrender the form of government we have chosen, and live under one deriving its powers from its own will, and not from our authority; . . . and that the co-States, recurring to their natural right in cases not made federal, will concur in declaring these acts void, and of no force, and will each take measures of its own for providing that neither these acts, nor any others of the General Government not plainly and intentionally authorised by the Constitution, shall be exercised within their respective territories.

So wrote Thomas Jefferson, vice president of the United States, in a document drafted at the request of members of the Kentucky legislature in 1798. Kentucky passed Jefferson’s paper and broadcast it to the world as the definitive opinion and stand of the sovereign people of the State. The language drafted by James Madison for similar documents adopted by the Virginia legislature in 1799 and 1800 was similarly unequivocal in its constitutional position and forceful in expression.

The people, acting through their natural polities, the States, had created and given authority to the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution conferred powers on a general government to handle certain specified matters that were common to the “general welfare” of all the States. That government was an agent. It could not be the judge of its own powers. To allow it to be so would mean nothing less than a government of unlimited power, a tyranny. The partners to the Constitution, the sovereign peoples of the States, were the final judges of what they had intended the Constitution to mean. When the general government exceeded its power it was the right and duty of the State to interpose its authority and defend its people from federal acts of tyranny – yes, to render a federal law inoperative in the State’s jurisdiction…

I don’t sneer and point at everything Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) says — she clearly courts such a reaction every day — but Ed Morrissey’s video of Bachmann at an anti-health care reform rally in Minneapolis is pretty amazing for the quantity of smears she packs in. Democrats, she says, “considered holding up [Scott] Brown’s seating until public outrage forced them to back down.” In reality, Democrats pushed up the date of Brown’s seating up a week after he asked them to. President Obama, she says, offered Scott Matheson a judicial appointment right before his brother, Rep. Tim Matheson (D-Utah), arrived at the White House. But Scott Matheson was being evaluated for the post in January.

Bachmann’s juiciest accusation — and the one about which we know the least — concerns Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “The real story about Massa is that it appears that Speaker Pelosi might have known about these sexual harassment allegations in October,” says Bachmann. “I’m not saying this is what is, but I’m saying this is what it looks like.”

Well, here’s what Fox News has reported.

Fox News has learned that Pelosi’s aides learned last October that Massa was living with male staffers and asked Massa’s office to change that. According to The Wall Street Journal, Massa’s former chief of staff also told Pelosi’s staff that Massa’s language and conduct made some aides uncomfortable.

Based on that, Bachmann will inform a crowd that Nancy Pelosi covered up Massa’s behavior to twist his arm for a vote … that, well, she didn’t end up getting.

Jesse Ventura coming back for a second season on TruTV announcement.

Deadlocked jurors in the Hal Turner hate blogger case were excused late Wednesday after deliberating two days. It’s the second mistrial in the government’s case to prosecute the New Jersey man for allegedly threatening to kill judges.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hogan said a new trial was “highly likely.” A third trial was tentatively scheduled April 12 in New York federal court.

Turner, of New Jersey, blogged at turnerradionetwork.blogspot.com that the three judges of the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals should be “killed” for upholding a Chicago handgun ban in June.

Former Congressman Jim Traficant came home to freedom on September 2 after serving seven years in prison for crimes he did not commit. More than a thousand of his friends and admirers bought tickets to a banquet being held in his honor in Boardman, Ohio in his former congressional district surrounding Youngstown.

Although the major media is still smearing Traficant as a “crook,” those who know Traficant know his prison sentence was “a railroad job” from the beginning. The fact is that although there are probably dozens of members of Congress who could be indicted and convicted for major criminal offenses involving high-stakes bribery and influence peddling that is often quite open and never prosecuted, the Justice Department spent many years coming up with a handful of dubious charges against Traficant.

Ask anyone who knows how it works in official Washington and they’ll privately admit that the real reason Traficant was indicted on criminal charges was simply the fact that “the powers that be” didn’t like Traficant: he was just too honest and too outspoken.

Right up front, let’s lay it out. Here were some of Traficant’s real “crimes” in the eyes of the elite who railroaded him into federal prison in 2002:

That’s right. It’s over. Their guns are bigger. They control all the money. They control the energy. They control the land. They control the food and they control the water. Soon they will control our health care, down to the last detail on our electronic health care records being stored in a giant computer in Washington DC, from which they can determine if we are worthy of receiving health care. The older we get, the less worthy we become.

Just like the guy standing on the beach witnessing in horror, the onrushing tsunami wave and has no place to run, we might just as well bend over and kiss our behinds goodbye. Freedom and liberty are gone. The constitution and bill of rights are just so much toilet paper and American sovereignty is but a fading memory of a bunch of dead guys who thought they could create individual liberty and have it last.

This didn’t happen overnight, you know. It’s been coming on for about a hundred to a hundred and twenty years. First, the civil war gave us the 14th Amendment, and we now let illegal aliens born in the U. S., become U. S. Citizens, thus creating a magnet for millions more to come.

The NC LS Winter Conference last Saturday entitled “The Myth of the Conservative Republican Party” drew an enthusiastic audience of members and guests to the Allred Banquet Room in Burlington, North Carolina. A succession of speakers took aim at the topic with League of the South National Board member Michael C. Tuggle’s talk, “Mad About Sarah,” leading the way.

Tuggle asked the question “does anyone believe that Sara Palin is a “fighter for small government and a States’ Rights advocate like Ronald Reagan? Reagan was none of these things” Tuggle said. He further questioned her viability as a presidential candidate with “changing the name tag of the puppet in charge wont change a thing,” and that once in power, “they become the opposite of what they claim to be as a candidate.” On the topic of neo-con control of the Republican party, he asserted that the neo-cons have changed the meaning of conservatism from representing small and limited government, to a belief that big government is necessary to advance conservative goals.”

The idea of too big to fail will persist even after any deflationary collapse. Nothing will change unless the elitists want it to change – the concept is at the base of power in the financial world. This finance bubble can only be disrupted by the failure of national economies. There are 19 in that position presently, and what it boils down to is whether and when these elitists want to pull the plug on liquidity and seriously want to enter a deflationary era. For the time being, over the next 18 months, inflation and perhaps hyperinflation will prevail. Politicians are 90% in the pockets of these people, so unless we can unseat more than half of the incumbents in Congress, the elitist grip on our society will prevail. In the meantime it is inflation and or hyperinflation followed by deflation this year and next year.

The collapse of currencies and nations won’t happen overnight, because their demise has been planned, and a subtle collapse is in process. Our guess is that next year is when the collapse will finally take place followed by one of the greatest deflationary depressions of all time. During the last 2-1/2 years all the toxic investments have been and will continue to be transferred from the Illuminist banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies and transnational conglomerates to the public. The Federal Reserve is the repository for this junk, which includes Treasuries and Agencies. That means the public foots the bill. Every government and bank in the world will be affected. This magical game of 3-card-Monte will never work and the Illuminists know it won’t work. That is why they have war on demand to distract the public and to escape punishment for the devastating thing they have brought upon mankind.

Continental Congress 2009 was convened in St. Charles, Illinois, between November 11 and 22, 2009, to discuss fourteen violations of the Constitution for The United States of America, the Government’s refusal to listen or respond to the People’s First Amendment Petitions to Redress those Grievances for the past fourteen years, and to recommend a non-violent course of action for the Free People to put an end to those violations.

The conclusion of the work of Continental Congress 2009 is the sixty-one page, fourteen-article Document called ‘‘Articles of Freedom.’’

The detailed, factual record of the violations and the Government’s refusal to listen or respond to the People’s prior Petitions to Redress those violations is included in the Articles of Freedom. Also included are detailed, specific Instructions to the federal Government, and to each of the several states, designed to end the violations. Also included are recommendations for civic action by the People to ensure compliance with their Instructions.

Below is a summary of the contents of each of the fourteen articles of the ‘‘Articles of Freedom.’’

The pork lawsuit appeal will be argued in the Appellate Division in Albany on April 26th at 1pm.

There will be a tea party rally against corporate welfare at noon at the Capitol.

Save the date and stay tuned for details.

I expect to have another caravan from Depew leave at about 5:30am. This time, even larger.

This case involves $3,000,000,000.00 in illegal grants to corporations each year.

BTW, just so you know how important this governor’s race is–guess who appoints every appellate judge in the state?

More to the point, if Massa had been acting like a Blue Dog despite representing some liberal or at least safe Democratic district in which Democrats might replace him with a suitably loyal substitute, that would make sense in terms of expressing ire about his defections. But Massa won--barely and after two attempts--in a traditionally Republican district that is likely to flip back to the GOP now.

That said, and given that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer knew about Massa's odd behavior at least as early as the second week of February--and, presumably and by extension, so too did both Hoyer's boss Nancy Pelosi and Hoyer's former House leadership colleague Emanuel--it's not unreasonable to conclude that House Democrats and the White House (a) realized Massa could present a political problem for them later; and thus (b) wanted him out as soon as possible. In fact, the person who best understands the potential political-electoral implications of a ticking Massa timebomb exploding in autumn is none other than Emanuel; as Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair in 2006, he benefited most from the Foley story going national that September and has since been lionized as the man who delivered Democrats to the majority promise land.

Before the story began to unravel on him, Massa said he was resigning because he learned he had cancer. The fact is, he was fast becoming a cancer--or at least a potential electoral cancer for Democrats if he stayed in office and the story broke in the closing weeks of the autumn campaign.

The March 2nd Republican primary in Texas is now history. The showcase event was the gubernatorial contest, where Globalist par excellence and Israeli lobby asset, Rick Perry, otherwise known as Mr. NAFTA Superhighway, defeated fellow central banking icon Kay Bailey Hutchison. Populist, paleo insurgent Debra Medina received 18% of the ballots cast, cause for crowing among the remnant of the shrinking Paul-Buchanan wing of the GOP in the Lone Star State.

Two salient facts continue to underscore the ongoing ideological bankruptcy of the Republican Party in Texas, as well as nationally. First, Medina’s vote totals remind the perceptive that 82% of “conservatives“ in the Texas gubernatorial race placed their imprimatur on two candidates symbolizing the Neo-Conservative hijacking of the electoral process in the GOP. The Bush family, the Carlyle Group, and AIPAC are surely smiling in concert.

But more importantly, the 18% who voted for Debra Medina, are in many cases largely clueless as to who and what is really behind the demise of their country, and their Party.

This cluelessness apparently includes Mrs. Medina herself. Like 2008 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul, Mrs. Medina attempted to finesse the 911 Truth Movement question posed to her by Glenn Beck on Fox News, and to avoid an aggressive attack upon the Israel First Neo-Conservatives who have hijacked the Republican Party.
