Dear Senators,
I know that you are deliberating this week the "resolution" for military action against Iraq. I also know that you are in the midst of deliberating the "Homeland Security" bill before the Senate. I also know that your body has come under much condemnation because of your desire to debate both items fully. I want to commend you for your insistence upon the execution of your duties to the American people as the sole depository of the will of the people.
It is my observation that the "resolution" for war against Iraq is presented to you in a similar manner as the "Homeland Security" bill. Let me assure you the source of both are a cancer upon the united States of America, but the latter much more disturbing to Liberty. I have already written you concerning the present dissolution of the united States and why and how any resolution giving your power to make war to the Executive is a further and solely sufficient means of dissolving the obedience of any citizen or inhabitant of the 50 sovereign States to the authority of the federal government.
My opinion is that you are not in Washington this week to bury a dissolved union of States on the North American Continent but to resurrect a people on the brink of total impotence against the forces of tyranny in the world. This brings me to the issue of the North American Command acting as a military force stationed in Colorado to aid the local and national police in the maintenance of the peace as an agent of the President of the united States.
Let me establish the intent of this North American Command as stated by the man in charge, GENERAL RALPH EBERHART
"GENERAL RALPH EBERHART: This command will be one-stop shopping in terms of providing military support to other federal agencies and to local responders."
"GENERAL RALPH EBERHART: I'd like to get information in terms of that they've seen something suspicious, so if we're starting to see a lot of suspicious things or there's a pattern across the country, or if it's all at dams, per se, or all at hydroelectric plants, that, to me, starts to paint a picture of where we might be vulnerable or what the enemy is considering doing."
"TIMOTHY EDGAR: Well, it raises a lot of questions. There was a program during the '50s and '60s where the Pentagon was involved in receiving intelligence information about protesters. It was called Continental United States based on some of our exaggerated fears of leftist movements in the US That's not the kind of thing we would want our military to be involved in. They obviously need to have access to the information which is important for them to do their job. But we don't want the military, certainly, to be spying on Americans for their political activities.
GENERAL RALPH EBERHART: We are not going to be out there spying on people. We get information from people who do."
"GENERAL RALPH EBERHART: There may be situations if we ever got into a major chemical biological nuclear attack problem where we may, in fact, be in charge. And the only way I can see that happening is one of two ways: First, it's become so bad that the lead federal agency in working with the state governors say, you know, "we give up. We do not have the wherewithal to deal with this. We need not only federal support and federal help here, but we need the federal forces to take the lead." And then the president and the Secretary of Defense would have to decide, "yes, that is appropriate."
"KWAME HOLMAN: As of next week, the Northern Command, with an eventual staff of 500 and a $70 million budget, officially begins a new era in the military's role in homeland security."
The Constitution of the united States already provides for "homeland security." What in the world else was it written for other than homeland security? But the Constitution’s genius is not based solely upon security from foreign attack but also from tyranny from within.
What is the General Ralph Eberhart really alluding to in his last statement above? Is it not that things under such a condition of disarray that would exist under a nuclear attack or chemical or biological attack be so bad that the people themselves would conclude that their own government had abandoned them and had not protected them. And could not these same people rightly conclude that their own federal government, in a continual state of breach under the Constitution involving them in illegal foreign wars, brought them to this condition?
The natural and God given right of these people of the united States will be to attempt to get out from under the yoke of this illegal beast they have allowed to grow beyond the law of the land and beyond their own control. Who and what will help them? Then let us hear from Federalist Paper 29 by Alexander Hamilton regarding real homeland security:
"But though the scheme of disciplining the whole nation must be abandoned as mischievous or impracticable; yet it is a matter of the utmost importance that a well-digested plan should, as soon as possible, be adopted for the proper establishment of the militia. The attention of the government ought particularly to be directed to the formation of a select corps of moderate size, upon such principles as will really fit it for service in case of need. By thus circumscribing the plan, it will be possible to have an excellent body of well-trained militia ready to take the field whenever the defense of the State shall require it. This will not only lessen the call for military establishments, but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist." (Emphasis added)
Are not the circumstances before you this week those such that the Executive is asking you to approve the creation of a homeland army to assist local and national government in maintaining a breakdown of civil order? And who are they talking about that are a threat to civil order? Is it not the people of the united States of America? If not, who? What foreign nation has said, of late, that they are raising armies to attack the mainland of America? It isn’t Iraq! We all know that the subject of this growing fear in Washington is the American People who are growing very dissatisfied with the continual breach of the law of the land by mere unruly men in Washington D.C.
I am an optimist for good and sound reason. Why would Christ Jesus be born into the world when our forefathers were at the mercy of death and totally enslaved to the fear of the same? Because God so loved the world! Why would Christ permit his disciples to establish the fundamentals of civil government over a 2000 year period only to bring the crown of Christendom, the united States, to a ruin exceeding that of the Roman Empire? Many just throw up their hands and say, "well it’s just the end of time, bless Israel and God will bless you and Christ will come and rule for a thousand years." These are lazy fleshly men that believe that the existence of Israel, and our support of them, will save them from all calamities. The existence of Israel and our support of them cannot overrule 2000 years of the advance of the fundamentals of civil government discovered by the disciples of Christ Jesus, the King of Kings and Supreme Civil Magistrate of the cosmos and all therein.
Yes, God does intervene in the world by men. For Christ was also fully a man. Yet Christ was also fully God and he has redeemed the entire world forever. Now, we are also men. But we too have become the adopted sons of God by the operation of Christ’s death, Resurrection and Ascension thereby having like powers as that of Christ himself. Therefore I humble ask that you now appropriate those powers which your forefathers have established for you and all men of the world.
There is indeed a force today more sinister and diabolical than "terrorism," "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Closed Markets." It is the force against the Life, Liberty and Possessions of the people of the united States, threatened by men who have grown drunk on the obsession for power in America. These men are like you and me who without the restriction of law begin to exercise power they do not have. When they taste it they cannot stop. Therefore, we have the saying of old, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Is anyone in America really afraid of Saddam Hussein? Is anyone in America afraid of George Bush with unlimited power? What can an army of men do against a "suitcase dirty bomb?" We all know that an army is useless against this type of activity. There are no real defenses against suicidal desperation other than wise and fair foreign policy that all men the world over will respect and admire including the so called "radical Muslim."
The Federal government has not only abandoned fair and equitable foreign policy espoused by George Washington and the forefathers but has abandoned the law of the land and the protections of the people against homeland usurpation and tyranny. Yet the Bush Administration says that we should go to war with Saddam Hussein because he lied to the UN. Let me remind all men everywhere. No nation on earth owes anything to the UN for it is not a body with authority that any human being agreed to. Bush himself has said that the UN has no jurisdiction over the united States. This is true also for all nations! It is obvious that Bush uses the UN only for his own agenda needs.
It is with this sense of optimism for what we as a united people under the Constitution can do for the world and ourselves and the disgust with what some hungry for power could do to the people of north America that I ask my Senators, as it is the party of tenure and stability, that they stand firm upon the Constitution, even if they have to reverse many years of precedence of violation. Would it not be better to reverse criminal violation of the Constitution then to reverse the Constitution?
Therefore, I ask the Supreme Depository of the will of the people to resist the President’s bill to make him the despot over the lives, liberties and possessions of all in North America and return the people of this land to the law of the land. This body of Senators can both provide for the protection of the people from foreign enemies and domestic enemies of their property by this week calling forth of the Militias of every State in the union and arming them with the weapons of the illegal standing federal army and placing them under the command of the respective States and their local commanders. This is the only protection against a growing dictatorship in America. Why fight a dictator in Iraq with a dictator in America? Who do we stand the more to lose from?
The calling forth of the Militia is your right and your right only. This action is not one of late development by some newly elected party, but a solution to an age old problem with the agreement of the people of the united States of America. It does not have hidden agenda of party or special interest which we here so much of today. The calling forth of the State Militias is the only solution to the illegal standing federal army maintained against the Constitution for more than 50 years.
Something wants America to change as is evident of the breach of the peace in New York. But how it changes is up to you and you alone will be accountable. Will you respond with usurpation and tyranny or with the restitution of the Constitution against all violators, great or small, foreign or domestic?
I now pray that God in Christ be with you all and that he stand by you in this most historic of times to assume the role that was established for you to show the light of nations to the rest of the world this week. May God bless you with all his power and might.
Sincerely,
Ronald F. Avery
