Time Text
White elf of the owl, lead the owl and the tar. White elf with a broken wing, the broken one, sing with tar.
Sing with tar.
I'm William Cooper.
You're listening to the Hour of the Time.
I'm William Cooper.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've got some good news tonight.
So stay tuned and we'll let you know what it is.
Well, why not let you know what it is now?
So that's what we'll do.
Let me go down to our page here and load it up.
By the way, if you want to get updates on what's going on here, you can access our web pages.
Harvest-Trust.com That's Harvest-Trust.org.
We received word on Sunday from sources within the local policing agencies that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been put on notice by several ranking local law enforcement personnel that, and I quote, we will absolutely not allow another Ruby Ridge or Waco to occur in Apache County, Arizona, end quote.
Glenn Jacobs, the owner and publisher of the Round Valley Papers, spoke personally last night to the Apache County Sheriff.
According to Glenn, the Sheriff told him, quote, I have put the FBI on notice that they are not welcome to come into this county and harass the Cooper family, end quote.
That's really good news around here.
Let me take you to our most recent Newsflash, this will be very interesting to some of you and hopefully to all of you who are just tired of the tyranny that's taking place in this country.
The latest on our ongoing investigation into the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City has uncovered the following.
Number one.
John Doe, number two, has been positively identified by the intelligence service.
He is currently in federal custody, which means being protected at this moment.
The federal government has protected and hidden the identity of this criminal because he is an agent or informant for the United States government.
The ethnic and religious background of John Doe, number two, is not known at this time.
Number two, John Doe number three has been positively identified as a West German intelligence operative, CIA controlled.
The ethnic and religious background of John Doe number three is not known at this time.
Number three, John Doe number four has been positively identified by the intelligence service.
He has never been questioned by any law enforcement agency in connection with the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
John Doe No.
4 was also involved with the Waco Massacre in 1993.
John Doe No.
4 is an informant of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, known as the BATF.
John Doe No.
4 masquerades as an American patriot.
We also do not know the ethnic and religious background of him at this time.
John Doe No.
5 has been positively identified by the Intelligence Service as a major fundraiser for the Oklahoma City bombing operation.
He is, at this time, in custody in the Netherlands.
John Doe No.
5 is Jewish.
He is most probably an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Mossad, and or the Anti-Defamation League.
Mike Vanderbilt of the so-called John Doe Times is an agent of the Anti-Defamation League masquerading as a patriot commander of the Alabama 1st Cavalry Militia.
The militia which he claims to command does not exist.
It is a fraud.
His purpose is to place the blame for the Oklahoma City bombing on patriots and the lawful militia attributing a motive of white supremacist anti-Semitism and racism.
The Branch Davidians, this is item number six, the Branch Davidians, ladies and gentlemen, were a racial mix of mostly black, Hispanic, and had even a couple of Jewish members.
Only a very small minority of that church was Caucasian, white.
Racist, white, supremacist, anti-Semites would rejoice at their death, ladies and gentlemen, not seek revenge.
Racist, white, supremacist, anti-Semites do not avenge the death of Blacks, Hispanics, Orientals, and Jews.
7.
The people who worked in the Alfred T. Murrah Federal Building were mostly Caucasian white people, and could not ever have been the target of racist white supremacist anti-Semites.
Racist white supremacist anti-Semites do not murder white people. 8.
The Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which the BATF and FBI were handling the situation in Waco, Texas, and actually called for an assault by the government to end the standoff.
A contingent of the Ku Klux Klan white supremacists traveled to Waco, Texas to offer their services to the BATF and FBI in order to affect the arrests of the Branch Davidians.
Number nine.
Prominent members of the Anti-Defamation League made public statements which were carried by the major news networks which we recorded and are keeping in a safe place.
These recordings disclosed that the ADL had the perpetrators under surveillance for two years.
That's their figure, not ours.
The spokesman for the ADL stated that they knew the bombing was going to happen well in advance.
Number 10.
The leader of Elohim City is a BATF FBI informant and has been such an informant for many years.
Number 11.
Carol Howe was a BATF informant and disclosed the plans of the bombing and those involved to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
After the bombing occurred, she made public statements that the BATF knew well beforehand that the building was going to be bombed, knew who was involved, and knew approximately exactly when it was going to happen.
The BATF attempted to imprison Carol Howe in order to silence her, but they lost their case and she's still talking.
Number 12, Governor Keating.
Governor Keating's brother, who wrote a book Supposedly a fiction years before the bombing occurred about a group of radical white-ring extremists who blow up a federal building.
The ringleader's name is McVeigh.
Representative Edward Ishtook, Democrat of Oklahoma, the Anti-Defamation League, the FBI, the BATF, the United States Marshal Service, Oklahoma City Fire Department, The Oklahoma City Police Department and the Oklahoma City Bomb Squad all knew the bombing would occur well in advance of April 19, 1995.
The American intelligence community knew of the plans to detonate a bomb in the heartland
of America as early as 1971, and wrote about it in a top-secret document called Majesty
Twelve, which contains the plan for the disarmament of the American people and the implementation
of a worldwide socialist totalitarian government.
14.
The Oklahoma City bombing was a joint operation involving intelligence operatives of the United
States, Germany, and Israel.
The purpose of the bombing was to strike terror into the heartland of America, destroying
the illusion that such things only happen in places like New York, Los Angeles, or foreign
capitals.
Those responsible believed the bombing could be blamed on patriots, militia, or religious fundamentalists to prepare American citizens to more readily accept personal disarmament in preparation for world socialist totalitarian government under the United Nations.
15.
The names of those John Doe's involved, the names of witnesses, the documentation of proof has been dispersed to our most trusted agents for safekeeping until constitutional Republican government is restored, at which time the guilty parties will be arrested for trial by a jury of their peers.
16.
William Cooper, Harvest Trust, and the Intelligence Service are not racists.
We are not white supremacists.
We are not anti-Semitic.
We are tired of seeing the American people manipulated with these terms and by special interest groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and many others.
They're not the only ones.
We are interested only in the truth.
A great man once said, some of you know who he is.
Those of you who don't, I suggest you seek him out.
He said, and I quote, Seek ye the truth, and the truth will make you free.
End quote.
Stay tuned now for some fantastic information that I gave to those who attended our conference
on May 25, 1998, at the Thunder Horse Ranch.
Stay tuned.
OK.
Thank you.
So...
Now, this afternoon, you've got B. You know what that means?
That means you're going to be taking copious notes and learning something.
And what I'm going to teach you is some incredible information that some of you may know, most of you don't know even exists probably.
And, if you pay attention, we'll set you free.
Now, I've had a personal policy in the past of never teaching anybody anything about law.
I am not a lawyer.
I am not going to teach you to be a lawyer.
What I am going to teach you today is not going to make you some kind of wizard that can go into court and solve all your problems.
I am not giving you legal advice.
I'm going to teach you what I know and what a lot of other people know.
Okay?
I studied for many, many years.
I work with people like Lawrence Becraft, who's one of the preeminent faith-lead attorneys in this country.
I work with a lot of other people across the country who are digging down that earth, for instance, who are digging to uncover the truth and the law, instead of the deception that we are used to dealing with.
And we share our information.
And if you watch Veritas, or if you've been reading Veritas for very long, you've seen some of it printed in there.
Some of it is so strange and so weird compared to the fantasy land that we've been taught to believe in that people find it just too fantastic to believe.
But the truth is, once you learn this stuff, people like me find the fantasy that all the rest of the people are living in too fantastic to believe.
It's as if the human race really doesn't have a brain, and is incapable of original thought,
or deductive reasoning, or any kind of investigative or research ability.
Or else they just don't give a damn, and if they don't give a damn, they're going to get
exactly what they deserve, which they're going to be—the end result of that is they're going
to be once again enslaved as they were for most of human history.
I'm going to get to turn this down again, because you can't hear me back.
Yeah.
This will, of course, continue tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
You're going to learn an awful lot.
I assure you take good notes.
Can you still hear me?
Hear feedback?
Okay.
The reason I'm going to give you this is to give you an understanding that what you thought about the law is wrong.
I'm going to teach you some things about the Internal Revenue Service also today.
And believe me, once you know this, what I'm going to tell you doesn't mean you can take it and run down and cure all your Internal Revenue Service woes.
If you get into that battle, it's a real battle, and you've got to be stubborn like me, and you've got to draw the line and be willing to fight and fight and die if you have to, for the right thing.
Because that's really what you've got to do.
Because those guys, when they come after you, they don't quit.
And it's just a forever battle.
I've been battling them for 12 years, so far and late.
They could drop out of the sky tomorrow and kill me.
That's the kind of battle it is that we live in in Serbia.
I happen to know from watching them that I'm safe for another year, because I'm a leader in the Patriot community.
If and when they ever come after me, it will be a few weeks before April 15th.
April 15th just went by, so I'm safe for another year.
The reason they would do that is to say, You were listening to this guy and you thought he had it, you know?
You better file and pay your income taxes because we took you in now and we'll take you down, too.
That's why they do that.
That's why they do it right before April 15th.
Okay?
So, this will give you a basis upon which you found a program of research and investigation through which, after a long time of study and work, You can stand toe-to-toe with them and fight the battle like me and many other people are.
And if you're really a principled individual who really believes in the principles and ideals which you all tell me that you believe in, sooner or later you must draw a line and say, enough is enough.
I'm going to fight the battle because it is the right thing to do and for no other reason.
Fear be damned.
Kill me, be damned.
Take all my possessions, be damned.
I must do this because it is the right thing to do.
And until people do that, you're in danger of going backwards in the evolutionary course of human history.
See, for most of the history of the human race, we were slaves.
We were owned by somebody.
Some king, some queen, some sultan, some emir, or some dude that just had a bigger ass, you
know?
When they created the United States of America, it was the first time in the history of the
entire human race that any people had ever been free.
And we're going to give it back.
I don't understand it.
It's the ultimate achievement, in my estimation, of humankind.
To give man freedom and wholly responsible possessions.
To go backwards into slavery.
Or in some kind of feudal system, or some system where we give up our rights in exchange for a promise of security and food on the table and all that kind of stuff, is an admission of absolute incompetence on the road of life.
It's an admission that we're not adults, we're children.
It's an admission that we can't use our brain, that we don't deserve to be free.
Complete capitulation is what it is.
Surrender to childhood.
I've said this many times, and I'll say it again.
Most people, here's what they do.
They spend the first 18 to 21 years of their life struggling against their parents to become free and responsible and strike out on their own.
Right, Melissa?
Melissa just graduated from high school.
So you can't wait to go to college and get out on your own.
Now, here's what happens to most people.
I'm not saying this is going to happen to you, Melissa.
I don't know.
You don't know yet either.
But you're going to find out real quick and so will everybody who's going to be watching you.
So you get out there and then you find out, hey, this ain't no easy life.
This ain't no pre-punk, man.
It's rough out here.
If I don't make these payments, they come and take this stuff.
My credit record's ruined.
I can't ever charge anything.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I can't even get a job.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
All there is is, you know, nobody wants to hire me because I'm too young, but I can get a job dishwashing, but I don't know how to dishwashing.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And so, after 10 or 15 years of this crap struggling against the system to make it, people say, screw this.
I want to be a little child again.
I want my daddy to take care of me.
That's why socialism is so attractive to most people.
It promises you a clean diaper.
It promises you a place to sleep.
It promises you a bottle of milk and you can suck on the nipple all you want to, and it will never go empty.
It promises you that a day won't give you a job or something to do, and if you don't want to work, they'll still feed you.
And take care of you, put you to bed, tell you what time you can get up, what time you can go to bed, if you can drive or if you can't drive, and you're going to be safe because they won't let the criminals come in and get you, and all that kind of stuff.
A lot of people give up struggling to be free, and we burn back to childhood and socialism then becomes the daddy.
That's what's so attractive about it.
Some people suck up socialism.
It lets you be the child again that you left behind the sun.
Way back there.
My hair pops here.
It's back there somewhere.
Right behind me.
Um...
But if you understand what that truly means, it means enslavement.
Thank you.
And if you love freedom like I do, it is the most distasteful, most terrible consequence
or end result that I could possibly imagine.
Because being a child of socialism is no different than being a child in a home where you couldn't
to your parents, and they may not be good parents.
And they can be good or bad at will.
And you have not responsibilities or rights, you have privileges.
And Daddy can give you privileges or take them away anytime he wants.
If Daddy's real mad at you, he can really abuse you, can't he?
He can really beat your butts into your room, kick your ass, and slam the door, and lock you in a bar, or whatever he wants to do.
Because Daddy's going to do that.
And by and large, all governmental systems, no matter what they start out to be, disintegrate into tyranny.
Because the governmental system will accumulate power as long as it can.
Until it becomes omnipotent and you become the worm that means nothing.
All governments will proceed in that direction until they're stopped, or they decay and disintegrate.
When the Mounting Fathers established the United States of America, they put in to place checks and balances, created a contract called the Constitution between the states and what they created, the federal government, That limited the powers of the federal government, protected the rights of the states and the people, and granted to government certain restricted, limited powers so that it could conduct its business for the general welfare and good of the states and of the people.
It wasn't supposed to ever be what it is today.
It has done what all governments do.
It began ignoring its limitations, conning the people into believing that it has powers limitations, grabbing and bringing to it powers that it
does not have, it has never had.
And I'm going to reveal some of that to you today, so that hopefully you will be brought
to a state of awareness and awakenness, and you can be a real people instead of what I
call a sheeple.
And if you go out the door, just to the left outside the door, you'll see there's a bench
or a couple of chairs there with some wool, sheep's hide on it.
That's from last year.
Some guys came there with sheep wool.
When they left, they left the wool behind and they became real people.
That's why it's on display for all to see.
Okay.
Now, we gave you the pad and we gave you a pen.
And the reason we gave you that is so you will use it.
So, I want to see.
Okay?
In the United States, this is federal jurisdiction, and this is going to blow your mind.
Everything I'm going to give you today is going to blow your mind, literally.
Federal jurisdiction.
By the way, this was written by Lawrence Becraft, a good friend of mine, and as I already told you, one of the preeminent patriot attorneys in this country.
In the United States, there are two separate and distinct jurisdictions, one being that of the states within their own territorial boundaries, and the other being the federal jurisdiction.
So, the two jurisdictions are the states within their own territorial boundaries and the federal jurisdiction.
Broadly speaking, state jurisdiction encompasses the legislative power to regulate, control, and govern real and personal property.
Individuals and enterprises within the territorial limits of any given state.
It's important to understand.
Legislative power to regulate, control, and govern real and personal property Individuals and enterprises within the territory limits of a given state.
In contrast, federal jurisdiction is extremely limited.
Anyone who's ever read the Constitution cannot but be aware of that fact.
With the same being exercised only in areas external to state legislative power and territory.
Now, what did I just say?
Federal government has no authority or jurisdiction within the territorial boundary of any of the several states of the Union.
Then what are they doing there?
They're exceeding their power.
They're exceeding their jurisdiction.
They are committing crimes.
They're behaving in a criminal manner, operating under the color of law.
They are outlaws.
And I tell them that when I see them.
You're an outlaw.
You're not from the gang, sir.
No, I'm just doing my job.
No, you're not.
You're an outlaw.
Read this again.
Copy the Constitution.
Go read it.
Then you come back and tell me what you are.
They never come back.
Never come back.
And they don't quit their job.
You know why?
Because they have a wife at home.
You can't quit your job.
You weren't getting a job for 10 years.
If you quit your job, we lose all the security and medical benefits and all this, and I don't want to sleep with you ever again.
Right?
It's the truth.
Part of the control mechanism is to teach women that men must provide them with security.
If men can't do that, they're worthless.
So they can't quit.
So they lose their family.
They lose their children.
They lose their wife.
They lose their lives.
I'm not saying anything against women.
Women are like the rest of us.
We have all been brainwashed to fit the role of manipulated or manipulator within a control system.
And we all function, for the most part, exactly like the little enemies that they want us to be.
Happens to be the truth.
Chapter 1 of my book, Behold the Pale Horse, which is, Silent Weapons Require Wars, talks about the family and
family structure and how it works to maintain the control mechanism of the state.
Notwithstanding the clarity of this simple principle, the line of demarcation between
these two jurisdictions and the extent and reach of each has become somewhat blurred
due to popular misconceptions and the efforts expended by the federal government to conceal
one of its major weaknesses.
Only by resorting to history and case law can this obfuscation be clarified and the two distinct jurisdictions be readily seen.
Obfuscation means hidden, The original thirteen colonies of America were each separated, or excuse me, each separately established by charters from the English Crown.
Outside of the common bond of each being a dependency and colony of the mother country, England, the colonies were not otherwise united.
Each had its own governor, legislated assembly and courts, and each was governed separately and independently by the English Parliament.
Now, don't get the crown confused with the queen.
Does anybody know the difference between the crown and the queen?
What is it?
The crown is the one mile square Masonic entity which controls the Bank of England, called the City of London.
The Queen is something entirely different.
So what does that tell you?
you The ruler of the colonies was the Bank of England, a messianic
control organization.
The political connections of the separate colonies to the English Crown and Parliament
descended into a rebellious state of affairs as the direct result of parliamentary acts
adopted in the late 1760s and early 1770s.
Due to the real and perceived dangers caused by these various acts, the First Continental
Congress was convened by representatives of the several colonies on October of 1970.
Thank you.
Due to the real and perceived dangers caused by these various acts, the First Continental Congress was convened by representatives of the several colonies on October of 1974.
in October of 1774, and his purpose was to submit a petition of grievances to the British
Parliament and Crown.
It really served quite a different purpose, though, didn't it?
Because what did it produce?
What did they produce from that?
Anybody ever hear of the Declaration of Independence?
By the Declaration and Resolves of the First Company of Congress, dated October 14, 1774,
the colonial representatives labeled these parliamentary acts of which they complained
as impolite, unjust, and cruel, as well as unconstitutional, and most dangerous and destructive
of American rights.
But further, they asserted that these acts manifested designs, schemes, and plans which
demonstrate a system formed to enslave America.
And that's what's happening now.
And with that emboldened appeal, presentation of that grievance to the Crown, they went
even further and declared their independence within just a short period of time.
I don't think that they hadn't done that particular exercise of trying to enumerate their grievances and petition the crown.
That there ever would have been a Declaration of Independence.
Because most people live in fear.
You take a step, and if your foot doesn't get chopped off, you tend to take another step, right?
Well, that's basically how it works.
Matters grew worse, and between October 1775 and the middle of 1776, each of the colonies separately severed their ties and relations with England, and several adopted constitutions for the newly formed states.
By July 1776, the exercise of British authority in all of the colonies was not recognized in any degree.
The capstone of this actual separation of the colonies from England was the more formal Declaration of Independence.
And then war.
Matters grew worse between October 1775 and the middle of 1776.
Each of the colonies separately, separate their ties and relations with England and
several adopted constitutions, excuse me, I just read that paragraph.
The legal effect of the Declaration of Independence was to make each new state a separate and
independent sovereign over which there was no other government of superior power or jurisdiction.
This was clearly shown in McIlvain v. Cox's, Cox's Lethe, Eighth United States, or Eighth
U.S. Supreme Court, Fort Branch, 209,212, 1808, where it was held by the court.
Quote, this opinion is predicated upon a principle which is believed to be undeniable, that the
service stage which composed this union, so far, at least as regarded their municipal
regulations, became entitled from the time when they declared themselves independent
to all the rights and powers of sovereign states, and that they did not derive them
from concessions made by the British king.
The Treaty of Peace contains a recognition of their independence, not a grant of it.
Thank you.
A recognition.
From hence it results that the laws of the several state governments were the laws of sovereign states, and as such were obligatory upon the people of such states from the time they were inactive."
The consequences of independence was again explained in Harcourt v. Gileard, 25, U.S.
Supreme Court, 12, Wheat, 523, 526, 527, 1827, where the Supreme Court stated, quote, There was no territory within the United States that was claimed in any other right than that of some one of the Confederated States.
There could be no acquisition of territory made by the United States distinct from or independent of some one of the states.
Each declared itself sovereign and independent according to the limits of its territory.
Notice that everything depends upon territorial boundaries and limits.
The soil and sovereignty within their acknowledged limits were as much theirs as the Declaration
of Independence as at this hour."
Thus, unequivocally, in July 1776, the new states possessed all sovereignty, power, and
jurisdiction over all the soil and persons in their respective territorial limits.
This condition of supreme sovereignty of each state over all property and persons within
the borders thereof continued notwithstanding the adoption of the Articles of Confederation.
Article Two of that document declared, quote, Article Two, each state retains its sovereignty,
freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right which is not by this
Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembles, end quote.
Thank you.
Do you know the difference between an act of Congress and an act in Congress assembled?
Anybody know the difference between an act of Congress and an act produced in Congress assembled?
Yes?
Well, it was one day, but that's not the real major difference, no.
An act of Congress does not apply to the states or the citizens of the states.
An act produced in Congress assembled applies to the states.
and to anybody engaged in any activity over which the federal government has been given
limited power by the Constitution of the United States of America.
And in the United States Attorney's Handbook, it clearly states, an act of Congress has
no authority within the states, or over the citizens of the states, does not apply to
But you'll never get a United States attorney to admit that.
As the history of the Confederation government demonstrated, each state was indeed sovereign and independent to such a degree that it made the central government created by the Confederation fairly ineffectual.
These defects of the Confederation government strained the relations between and among the states as a remedy became the calling of a Constitutional Convention.
But you see, even Larry can make mistakes because that's not the truth.
They did not call it a Constitutional Convention.
History clearly shows that the several states of the Confederation sent delegates To sit down and amend the Articles of Confederation in order to make the Confederation stronger, to make it work in manner that it was not running.
What did the Founding Fathers do when they got there?
They took a vote, and since they had a majority, and since they were sitting, they threw out what their states had sent them to do, and did something that they were not empowered to do.
They created a constitution and changed the government.
Will they authorize to do that?
No.
So, practically what they did was an outlaw thing.
They did something that they were not empowered to do.
Their states did not send them there.
The colonies didn't send them there to do that.
They had no power to do it whatsoever.
How many of you have heard of recently the attempt to create a conference of the states in the last several years?
What they were trying to do was the same thing the Founding Fathers did.
They wanted to get a majority of the states to send representatives to the conference of the states where they would, by majority vote, create a new government and throw the Constitution in the trash can.
That's what that was all about.
They were trying to duplicate what the Founding Fathers did when they created this country founded upon the Constitution.
Since they were not empowered to do that, and since the Constitution does not abrogate or destroy or amend or abolish the Articles of Confederation, the Articles of Confederation are still part of the law of this country.
How many of you knew that?
The representatives which assembled in Philadelphia in May 1787 to attend the Constitutional Convention
met, and it wasn't a Constitutional Convention.
It was a convention convened to find out remedies to amend the Articles of Confederation and
make the Confederation work and cure the problems which they perceived that it had.
They met with the primary purpose of improving the commercial relations among the states.
Although the product of the Convention was more than this, but no intention was demonstrated for the states to surrender in any degree the jurisdiction so possessed by them at that time, and indeed the Constitution is finally drafted, continued the same territorial jurisdiction of the states as existed under the Articles of Confederation, since they did not abolish the Articles of Confederation in their choice.
The essence of this retention of state jurisdiction was embodied in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution for the United States of America, which defined federal jurisdiction as follows, and get this, okay?
This is very important.
You know, the Founding Fathers, when they wrote the Constitution, they didn't write something that had to be interpreted.
These were geniuses.
They understood the English language better than anybody living today.
If you get an 1828 Webster's Dictionary, which basically was the same English language that they spoke and wrote, you can read their writing according to the meaning defined in that dictionary, and you can understand what it was they said without any Supreme Court or anybody else having to come along and tell you what they meant or what their intent was or what they wrote.
It's clear.
Quote, to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever.
Whoa!
That's pretty heavy, isn't it?
I mean, there's no limitations on that, is there?
But they can do anything they want, can't they?
No.
Because listen to this.
Over such district, not exceeding ten miles square.
Now listen to what I just said.
Not exceeding ten miles squared!
That's why an act of Congress does not apply to the states or the citizens of the states.
An act of Congress only has jurisdiction over, as made by section of a particular state and the acceptance of Congress to become the seat of government of the United States and to exercise life authority over all places purchased.
Are you listening carefully, folks?
Constitution is clear.
These people are way outside their bounds.
To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over such a district, not exceeding ten miles square, as they, by session of particular states and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places, purchase, By the consent of the legislature of the state, in which the same shall be for the erection of courts, magazines, arsenals, dark yards, and other needful buildings.
Period.
End quote.
That's it.
The reason for the inclusion of this clause in the Constitution is obvious.
Thank you.
of the Articles of Confederation, the states retained full and complete jurisdiction over
lands and persons within their borders. The Congress under the Articles of Confederation
was merely a body which represented and acted as agents of the separate states for external
affairs, and it had no jurisdiction within the states, period. This defect in the Articles
made the Confederation Congress totally dependent upon any given state for protection, and this
dependency did in fact cause embarrassment for that Congress, and for the Confederation
as a whole. During the Revolutionary War, while the Congress met in Philadelphia, a
body of mutineers from the Continental Army surrounded the Congress and chastised and
insulted its members. The governments of both Philadelphia and Pennsylvania proved themselves
powerless to remedy this situation, so Congress was forced to flee, first to Princeton, New
Jersey, and finally to Annapolis, Maryland.
Thus, this clause was inserted into the Constitution giving jurisdiction to Congress over its capital and such other places which Congress might purchase for forts, magazines, arsenals, and other naval buildings wherein the state ceded jurisdiction of such lands to the Federal Government.
Does that mean that Congress can send an agent into the state of Arizona and purchase a piece
of land and set up a building and have authority over that building and that land?
Not without the legislative body of the state of Arizona ceding the land to the federal
government.
you you
Now, how are they ignoring that?
should come immediately to all of your minds.
What happened in Obama's day recently?
A federal building blew up, didn't it?
Did the United States have authority or jurisdiction over that property?
Why not?
Because even today, they can't find any evidence that the legislature of the state of Oklahoma
ceded that property to the federal government.
In that case, does the federal government have jurisdiction to try Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols?
No.
It was a state matter, state jurisdiction, state venue from beginning to end.
They have succeeded in deceiving the limitations, lawful limitations, of the Constitution, haven't they?
What else did they do that was unconstitutional?
The venue.
What did they do?
They moved the trial to Colorado.
What does the Constitution say?
All trials for all crimes will be held in the state where the crime occurred.
It's in the Constitution.
It's the supreme law of the land.
You cannot move the trial to another state.
Isn't that incredible?
They do it every day.
And most Americans are so brainwashed they never question it.
You know why they never question it?
Because they never read the Constitution and those that did don't understand it.
They've been taught that it was written by a bunch of doddering old men over 200 years ago who don't understand the complexities of the modern age, and that, for some reason, they weren't writing in English, so what they wrote, we should not be able to understand, must be interpreted for us.
Bullshit.
Photo crap.
It's a lie.
Beginning to see?
Almost everybody who needingly challenges jurisdiction when they are arrested within the territorial boundaries of the state and hauled into a federal court are set free.
How many people do that?
Almost none.
Very few.
They have no jurisdiction.
Period.
Other than in these areas, the clause of the Constitution did not mention the use of the
word, but it did say that the Constitution did not operate to cede further jurisdiction
to the federal government and jurisdiction over those areas which had not been associated
remained within the states.
you And still to this day, without the legislative act of the
legislature of the state, they don't have it.
While there have been no real provisions in the articles which permitted the Confederation of Congress to acquire
property and possess exclusive jurisdiction over the property,
The above clause filled an essential need by permitting the federal government to acquire land for the sake of government and other purposes from certain of the states.
These lands were deemed essential to enable the United States to perform the powers delegated by the Constitution and a section of lands by any Perhaps the best explanations for this clause in the Constitution were set forth in Essay No.
43 of the Federalist.
Quote, The indispensable necessity of complete authority at the seat of government carries its own evidence with it.
It is a power exercised by every legislature of the Union.
I might save the world by virtue of its general supremacy.
Without it, not only the public authority might be insulted and its procedures interrupted with impunity, but the independence of the members of the general government on the state comprehending the seat of the government for protection and the exercise of their duty might bring on the national councils an imputation of awe, or influence equally dishonorable to the government in dissatisfaction to the other members of the Confederacy.
This consideration has the more weight as the gradual accumulation of public improvements at the stationary residence of the government would be both too great a public pledge to be left in the hands of a single state and would create so many obstacles to a removal of the government as still further to abridge its necessary independence.
The extent of this federal district is sufficiently circumscribed to satisfy every jealousy of an opposite nature.
And as it is to be appropriated to this use with the consent of the state seeking it,
as the state will no doubt provide the contact for the rights and the consent of the citizens
inhabiting it, as the inhabitants will find sufficient inducements of interest to become
willing parties to the session, as they will have had their voice in the election of the
government which is to exercise authority over them as a municipal legislature for local
purposes derived from their own suffrages will of course be allowed them, and as the
authority of the legislature of the state and of the inhabitants of the seat in front
of it to concur in the session will be derived from the whole people of the state in their
adoption of the Constitution.
Every imaginable objection seems to be obviated.
The necessity of a life authority, reports, magazines, etc.
established by the general government is not less evident.
The public money expended on such places and the public property deposited in them require that they should be exempt from the authority of the particular state, nor would it be proper for the places on which the security of the entire union may depend to be in any degree dependent on a particular authority.
All objections and scruples are here also obviated by requiring the concurrence of the
States concerned in every such establishment."
End quote.
We will continue with this same lecture tomorrow on the Hour of the Times.
Good night, folks.
God bless each and every single one of you, and may God save this great Republic.
