Dear Friends, Patriots and Warriors of Truth:

Sherman Skolnick has published the following comments, with which I wish to associate myself in agreement:

: With America more and more caused to be perceived as a broken
: window, the anger of Americans seems to be directed against the
: Central Government in Washington. This anguish is promoted and
: fomented by the British, like the North-South mess leading up
: to the American Civil War.

Mr. Skolnick is absolutely right. The thing to remember, though, is that fomenting the split in the union was a long-term project which was concocted by the scions of the British aristocracy, who were sorely punished when Andrew Jackson manuevered against them in the southwestern frontier territories during the War of 1812, and when his patchwork, "multi-cultural" army of frontier militia volunteers, Free Men of Color, Haitian refugees and Choctaw warriors repulsed and then slaughtered the British army in detail, during the campaign now known as the Battle of New Orleans (culminating on January 8th, 1815).

It is clear from the disposition of troop ships which carried the British regiments and rocket battalions that there was a plan to capture, occupy and claim New Orleans and southern Louisiana for the British crown. The Scottish commanders and the Highlanders, or 93rd Regiment, were prepared to establish a civil government.

Furthermore, many of the men of the 93rd were accompanied by their wives and a total of 104 children! This was to be the nucleus of the garrison of occupation, and it is thought that Sir Edward Pakenham was to be appointed Governor and awarded an "earldom," and that the ships and commodities of New Orleans were to be condemned by the Admiralty as prizes of war. This would have meant a windfall of some $20,000,000 for all of the soldiers and sailors and marines of the expedition.

The British armed forces which attacked Washington and burned its federal buildings in August of 1814 did exactly that, with the goods and ships seized at Alexandria, Virginia. Their planned assault on Baltimore was also designed to wreck American merchant shipping by destroying its most important middle-states port, and seizing its huge stores of tobacco, cotton, and other valuable commodities. Only the valiant defense of Baltimore by leaders like Senator Samuel Smith and Philip Reed (who had also served in the United States Senate), the Maryland militia and especially the flotillamen and sailors of Joshua Barney, acquitted the shame of having the Capitol destroyed.

Reed is known now as the principal author of the Titles of Nobility and Honour, or original Thirteenth Amendment, frequently referred to as the TONA. It was crafted in response to the continuous espionage and political chicanery of the British leaders in Parliament, and acting upon behalf of the Prince Regent (since George the III was by then, quite mad). It was, in its original form, considered with other proposals to create and secure liberty known as the Bill of Rights. However, it did not make the cutdown from the seventeen proposals to the twelve which were issued by the First Congress.

: A financial tailspin may be the trigger setting loose a
: smart-bomb to wreck ... Washington. In a more pedestrian
: analogy, some call it simply a horrendous foreign-created train : wreck. Stay tuned.

This is quite perceptive, and dove-tails precisely with the final ratification of the Titles of Nobility Amendment, which was conducted when the Legislature of Virginia voted, en bloc, to approve the Revised Code of 1819, which had been three or four years in preparation. The TONA had been considered as an enrolled bill by the Virginia legislature in 1811, where it was approved by the House of Delegates but tabled following a tie vote in the Senate. The legislation was "pretermitted" during the following years -- interrupted by the War of 1812 and its events -- but never dropped or rejected by a defeat. It, along with a comprehensive and meticulously edited new edition of all of Virginia's laws, were passed by the actions of their legislature and published, under bond, and at public expense.

Not six months after the date of ratification, or March 12th, 1819, Virginia and much of the country was swept up in a panic which apparently had its origins in faulty or crooked banking practices conducted by the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the United States. Many prominent men were ruined and some died from either 'worry' or what amounts to suicide by bankruptcy. Early in 1820, a joint resolution of the legislature of Pennsylvania was introduced to the Senate, calling for a constitutional amendment to prohibit national and branch banking in all parts of the country except for the District of Columbia. However, as the panic and the depression gradually subsided, the impetus for such a measure was lessened and the Bank of the U.S. lived on until Andrew Jackson was elected President. He vetoed its re-charter.

For the whole of the Jacksonian era, the sovereign States of this federal union enjoyed great freedom, and the central government was strong but limited. Following the death of Andrew Jackson, in 1845, with his Florida having just joined the union, and with him being secure in the knowledge that Sam Houston had saved the Republic of Texas from becoming a British colony on the Brazos, Philadelphia lawyers and judges allied to James Buchanan went to work to suppress the Titles of Nobility Amendment.

Buchanan and pro-slavery judicial titans like Roger Taney, and corrupt demagogues like Henry Clay, subsidized and endorsed the issuance of a comprehensive new edition of the Constitution. It was drawn up by one William Hickey, and it is important to note that its principal printings occurred while Buchanan was the Secretary of State, or our ambassador to Great Britain. In it, every aspect of the Bill of Rights was examined and explained, every word of the Constitution checked for spelling and for the proper punctuation and capitalization (two things that were somewhat notoriously bad in that era). Both the Eleventh and Twelfth Amendments are explicated in detail. But there is no mention WHATSOEVER of the original Thirteenth Amendment, despite the fact that it was published by Connecticut's legislature in their Statute Laws in 1839 (for at least the third time), and again by Ohio in 1848. Pro-slavery lawyers, operating with monies obtained from Spanish agents and from the illegal slave trade, conspired to simply exclude the amendment from their publications -- all privately printed.

However, one cannot underestimate the power of an endorsement by federal judges, current and former Senators, and the current Secretary of State -- a man who was designated by law (1818 and 1820), with the responsibility of keeping faithful and accurate records of all constitutional amendments, ratifications, etc. Again, it bears repeating: the various Hickey editions of the Constitution were marvelously well-researched, handsomely printed and bound, and made available by the printing firm F.G. Collins.

They did not change the Constitution, in toto, they simply omitted one crucial amendment -- prohibiting Titles of Honour and the acceptance of "presents, pensions" and "emoluments" from Kings or Princes, and "foreign Powers." That wording is crucial.

In the housing and redevelopment game, there is a long-standing 'scam' or officially-sanctioned policy known as "demolition by neglect." Simply by ignoring a building or a property, and allowing it to fall into disuse and disrepair, sharp operators can destroy its value and then obtain the permits necessary, later, to wreck it, salvage the good parts, and to build anew.

That is what is happening to these United States, right now, and Mr. Skolnick has been among the greatest of our reformers and patriots, for exposing so many crooked deals and corrupt practices. More than 150 years ago, pro-slavery lawyers were successful at getting new editions of the Constitution printed which allowed them to "ignore to death" the TONA. It took more than twenty years for them to accomplish their goals, and it is curious that they finally succeeded in this work in 1876, the year that Rutherford B. Hayes and his Republicans frustrated Samuel Tilden by stealing the presidency ... and in Florida.

That was the year that Colorado was admitted to the union, without the TONA on its books, when it had continuously published it as being valid in its Territorial Laws -- and even in a Spanish language translation! -- through 1868. That was the last time that the Territory of Wyoming issued its laws with the TONA published in its proper place, intact, and with the Anti-slavery Amendment of 1865 as Article XIV, and the civil rights amendment or Article XV also listed as proper and intact.

That mining and pioneering territory, where women had the right to vote, refused to sanction or publish the bogus and fraudulent 'citizenship amendment' which we now call the Fourteenth! In fact, from the early 1860s on through 1868, the Dakota Territory and Colorado and Nebraska published the TONA. The State of Kansas recognized it as being lawful, with the Anti-slavery amendment as being Article XIV, as late as 1868, as well.

The Titles of Nobility Amendment was created by men who had served in the Revolutionary War, and by their younger brothers and colleagues, to protect this union of sovereign States from the depredations and bullying tactics of the international bankers and aristocrats of that time and era -- Spanish grandees, British earls and French military dictators, Bonapartists. It was properly issued, properly ratified, and then later suppressed by a very clever subterfuge -- one that took an entire generation to accomplish its work -- and thus, completely forgotten after our bloody War of Rebellion and Reconstruction. Because of the Internet, it has been reinvestigated, its truths proved out, and the long and difficult work of research and discovery conducted by Tom Dunn and David Dodge, among others, validated. It is the last installment of the Bill of Rights: it exists to give this union of sovereign States a constitutional weapon to wield against the spies, the liars and the bankers of the New World Order. Take it out for a spin, and use it. It can work.
