You are not getting both sides of this issue. Throughout the Country, those of us who are warning of the dangers of an Article V convention are marginalized, ridiculed, smeared, shut out of meetings, and barred from speaking in public forums. THIS short essay from the Principled Policy Blog describes what we face every day.
THIS article is an account by Donny Harwood, a citizen of Tennessee, describing how he was shut out of the public meeting which the Convention of States people held on October 19, 2015 at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. According to The Leaf-Chronicle, a number of Tennessee Legislators were at the meeting. A prominent Tennessee radio talk show host was also present.
And everyone at the meeting was prevented from hearing the other side of this issue.

The Left has been pushing for a convention for 50 years—ever since the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations produced the Constitution for the Newstates of America. They need a convention to get it imposed.
Several other Constitutions are already prepared and waiting for a convention.
If there is a convention, the only issues will be (1) whoseConstitution will be imposed by the Delegates; and (2) what new mode of ratification will be set forth in the new Constitution.
FK – I’ll agree to a con con only with a militia force encamped outside the front door to arrest, try and execute any commies that show up to participate.
FK – Without seeing I’m guessing it could be called iconography. Does it show a bearded hey zeus? Who was the photographer or the ‘artist’ or illustrator?
The Ten Commandments on the wall doesn’t bother me. But let’s not be silly, or mindless.
Now I’m actually watching it. Is that preacher carrying a gun so he could defend his would-be fellow cultists? Or does he prefer the unsaved be burned alive in fire forever because they said “No thanks” to his alter call?
I grew up in this crap. Now it disgusts me. What’s really disgusting is what mainstream christianity has become, if it wasn’t already intended to be from the beginning, a tool of the state. Think about it: Obey the magistrates; pay your taxes; be a good servant or slave cause you’ll have paradise in the next life; don’t commit suicide or risk hell fire no matter your condition or suffering; don’t kill unless god(his reps on Earth, the priests or kings) orders you to go over the hill and kill all the pagans and not bring back so much as a goat or a sack of grain; you’re gonna get beamed up soon(modern interpretation) so you don’t have be politically active…
What would they say if a copy of the Bill of Rights were being removed? That’s what truly makes this country exceptional, including the ‘no cruel and unusual punishment’ part. Not like the ancient tribal propaganda with its bronze age god that was patterned after the ancient tyrannical kings who looked down their noses at their subjects and said “Obey me or I’ll torture and/or kill you.”
God works around ‘the devil?’ God made the devil according to most interpretations of the ancient tribal propaganda so ‘the devil’ by whatever name or incarnation is his tool.
Not sure of this guy’s version, sub-version or subversion but 30 years in this world, even at that time period, two years or so preaching, 3 days of torture at the hands of the Romans at the behest of the Jews who most certainly would have killed him themselves if they could have, doesn’t equal billions being burned alive in fire forever. No way no how.
The First Amendment is about ‘freedom from religion,’ any imposition via the Federal govt. of any religion or version, sub-version or subversion. Simple fact. What would he be saying if the fundie ragheads were trying to establish Sharia law and playing the ‘call to prayer’ 5 times a day in every podunk town in this country?
The ‘devil beating god’ would be like a carved chess piece beating the carver. This guy is paraphrasing ancient esoterica with no understanding of it. But then how much does the average believer understand? Most of them only nod their heads on Sundays and if they read their version of the ancient tribal propaganda they clearly don’t understand it. Anyone who claims it’s ‘inerrant’ and ‘true’ is a child.
Will the human race ever grow up? I don’t expect to see it in my time in this realm. We are still a very primitive species and we still exist in a very dark age.
Sir, the commies have been here for decades. Our failure to call them what they are and to hunt them to extinction is why we are losing our country and our Liberty. Your religion has played a major part in that. Simple sad fact.
Who’s educating(indoctrinating) your pastors?
The reason for maryjane in the schools is we have a less sheltered culture than we once had, and of course the drug war, which isn’t about morality or protecting the children or saving society but about money. Like the war on terror if the drug war wasn’t profitable for all the ‘right’ people it wouldn’t exist.
When I went away to college in the early 80s it was easier to acquire marijuana because it was illicit and the liquor stores actually required I.D. most of the time vs. the liquor stores back home who would on occasion tell me “Come back next weekend, the ABC’s in town.” This was in central Kentucky, on the border of the ‘dry'(protestant) counties and the catholic counties.
I remember very well preachers pontificating on ‘dope’ when I was a teenager and when Nixon started the drug war and Reagan escalated it. So why are we here?
Some of the Founders insisted on a Bill of Rights because they saw the inherent dangers in the new constitution and in human nature, the same human nature that created the dominant(in the colonies) religion at that time and the same human nature that changes the cultural interpretation of the ancient tribal propaganda over time as human society evolves from god appointed monarchies to elected representatives.
Historically humanism often or always moves hand in hand with socialism. Atheism is not a religion. It is the lack of religion. Socialism stems from the same human nature as religion, the human desire, maybe genetic for a reason, to seek out a savior or king or whatever to wave its magic wand and solve all our problems for us. This is proven with every prez election cycle regardless of which tool gets to pretend to run the country for four years, often voted for because he uttered the word ‘jesus’ a few times or said “You can’t beat the bible.”
‘Jesus in the court house’ would mean the elected, hired and appointed public servants keeping his alleged commandments, ten or otherwise, the golden rule, etc. and holding a real love for their fellow ‘man’ in their hearts, not a childish rendition of what he probably didn’t look like even if he really existed.
We need a large and readable copy of the Bill of Rights in all the schools and a non commie ‘interpretation’ needs to be taught. But then we need to focus on getting the commies out of the schools and away from the children. This would do far more good than focusing on ‘artwork.’
I’ve read the Constitution a few times and the word ‘jesus’ isn’t in there neither is any mention of anyone’s ancient tribal propaganda.
When the Romans lost their republic after 80 years, as we did, was it because they failed to obey their pagan gods? When their empire finally did fall after hundreds of years what religion was becoming dominant, because of politics(which is human nature and vice versa)?
What will you all do when they come with the cattle cars? Humbly get on board? Is that what the Founders did? No, they killed their enemies. Do any of you have the courage to publicly say what will be required to save what Liberty we have left? Are you waiting on god’s army, which has never existed, to swoop down from heaven and save you? It’s a good thing the Founding generation didn’t have that attitude.
If god’s flock isn’t ready to hear such a message whose fault is that?
Love is a wonderful thing. But without real wisdom it’s at best wasted. Not everyone goes by the ‘golden rule’ and not everyone minds being a slave, whether to worldly or non worldly entities.
Which tax exempt church that Lyndon Johnson silenced politically(unless it’s a commie church fighting for ‘civil rights’) should they go to?
Congress actually praying is certainly one of the most hypocritical things I can imagine, no matter what rock they claim to be praying to.
The ‘tyranny of the majority’ is exactly what the Bill of Rights is about repressing. The same ideals that are supposed to protect the ‘atheists’ or whatever today should do the same for the future ‘christian’ minority. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
From reading the New Testament I think they’re already a minority. That ‘old time religion’ I used to hear the old folks singing about really is a thing of the past and if the big beam up happens so few will be taken that they’ll just be added to the missing person’s list and life will go on as if nothing happened.
But that’s how it works. Eventually they’ll re-write the ancient tribal propaganda to suit modern culture and pretend nothing ever happened. The average ignorant ‘believer’ won’t know the difference.
He’s right about a small group of people that want to control everything else. They’re on all sides. It’s human nature unfortunately, that ‘must control others’ gene that has been so prevalent for so long and goes hand in hand with the submissive who have been surviving to breed for such a long time.
I learned much from ‘christian patriots’ in my waking up years ago and have some respect for those who take a stand even for things I can’t agree with but they must learn to focus on what matters and on winning this war for real human Liberty not ancient misinterpreted mysticism. But they are a tiny minority of the religious population. The rest are like grass waiting to be mown down, rooted in mindlessness, modern pacifism and cowardice.
We’re at the bottom of a deep well. The light at top must be reason and logic, the real building blocks of our nation, not blind faith, or blind patriotism, or we will most certainly drown.
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. That’s the point.
Please note that you DO NOT have to be an Oath Keepers Member to attend this event. You just have to be a patriot who believes in the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the equal rights of all men regardless of race, religion or party. We also welcome leadership and teams from other groups, as well as families and individuals.
FK – Voting is one tiny middle step in an on-going process. The presidents are tools, appointed by the elites and allowed to run while the sheeple are told “Don’t vote for this guy, he can’t win,” and like the morons they are they vote for the approved candidates. The only real differences that can be made are sometimes in congress, the state legislatures and local offices.
What they say during a campaign means nothing. Their records and affiliations, past and present, are all that matter: Questions for your candidate
FK – Neat tune/vid but our Founders didn’t win their Liberty with feathers, cups and fiddles. When they said “Liberty or Death,” it didn’t mean they were going to blow their brains out if the British didn’t grant them their Liberty. It meant they were going to blow British brains out.
if we don’t develop the same mentality toward the modern day haters of human Liberty we are done, toast. Our tolerance of them and failure to hunt them to extinction is what will destroy us.
FK – The republicrat party was the original party of big govt. Read “The Real Lincoln.” Both parties are infiltrated by globalist, communist, elites and/or their tools. Nothing short of a real physical cleansing is gonna fix this mess if it can be fixed.
And they’re not ‘progressives.’ They’re communists. Please don’t call them ‘leftists,’ or ‘liberals’ or ‘progressives’ or any of the other cute names the commies dreamed up to hide their evil. Doing so only helps our domestic blood enemies wage war against Human Liberty and the Bill of Rights.
And we Americans haven’t turned in our guns to our govt. When they take the First Amendment we fall back on the Second. That’s what it’s for.
FK – What the common folk often don’t understand is how adept the elites are at ‘planning.’ Not that they’re perfect at it, but they have the time and resources and inclination for it that the average dumbass never will.
What must be done – A manifesto of the ‘isms.’ Barry Bright May 12, 2015
This is in response to a group I joined on Fakebook and their ‘manifesto‘ of sorts. I’ve seen many ‘manifestos’ over the years. Most are usually interesting, and strike at the heart of one ‘ism’ or another.
As I’ve noted in the past all the ‘isms’ ignore those aspects of human nature/behavior/history they find inconvenient. I’m far from being an expert on every issue I’ve endeavored to understand in 20 years of being a patriot activist and I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do know a few things.
I wouldn’t want to be called an expert anyway, or even a ‘constitutional scholar’ as someone once referred to me, as most experts I’ve seen on the weaponvision over the years were simply someone’s whore and most scholars are still beholden to one political ideology or another.
If I have to label myself I say I’m a pragmaticlibertarianpaleo-conservativepopulist. In other words I know what it’s like to yearn for the Liberty that was stolen from us before we were born and to be treated like a jackass while simply trying to ‘make a living'(loosely defined).
So here we go, from 30 years of attempting to pay attention and 20 years of waking up…
Eliminate the Federal Reserve system and all forms of income tax on every level. The income tax is the second plank of The Communist Manifesto. If they are stealing their money out of your paycheck before it even reaches your hands, you’re a slave.
Look at Wall Street and the inordinate/undeserved power it has gained over our legislative process and our economy. Find ways to limit such without destroying individual Liberty.
Cease wars for profit. Bring our troops home and let them hunt our real enemies, who have always been among us.
Repeal all gun laws on every level, federal, state and local. Prosecute for treason those who have passed them, attempted to create them or enforced them.
Set a definite deadline, within 10 years, of the end of all forms of socialism, including corporate socialism/welfare, within our governments. As the old saying goes, “If we can put a man on the moon…” then surely we can come up with a way to help those who truly need help without creating inter-generational parasites who are simply dependable constituents for those who constantly seek to destroy the Bill of Rights and control every aspect of our lives.
Establish basic rules for voting: All voters must prove citizenship via a ‘birth certificate’ or ‘certificate of live birth’ or proper immigration papers; prove literacy in English; pass a test that shows they have a basic understanding of the type of government we are supposed to have here: small and limited, with a focus on the Bill of Rights.
To further protect our ‘franchise’ and to prevent vote fraud all voters will receive a receipt with a number, or their voter number, upon voting that they can use to check their vote against a tally on the internet the next day. Election officials will publish election results at 6 am the next day but not before so all interested parties have an opportunity to check results online. This must be done to prevent the evil mainstream news media from ‘calling’ elections before the polls even close and thus affecting the outcomes.
Educate all law enforcement and military and elected, hired and appointed public servants that their first priority is the protection of the Bill of Rights and the expansion of Human Liberty. Hold them to their oaths at the cost of their very lives.
Since the First Amendment reads thusly, in part: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” No religious law will ever hold sway over the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights or over those who want freedom from any religion.
Since the internet is the single most important Liberty expanding technology after the printing press, as it allows anyone who can afford a computer, a smart phone or access to any such device to posses and use their own press as they see fit, all efforts to ‘mainstream’ the internet, whether by corporate or government entities, will end. This means neither Google nor any other internet search service shall use means to channel search results away from certain topics or information, real or imagined, factual or fictional.
End the ‘drug war’ and the ‘war on terror’ since neither would exist anyway if the ‘right’ people on all sides weren’t profiting from them. Let the governments pursue only real criminals who have actually harmed a person or their property.
Release no violent prisoners who cannot be trusted with weapons, as easy as weapons of whatever kind are to acquire in a free society. When felons are released from prison they get all their rights back since they have ‘paid their debt to society’ and thus deserve even their most basic right, that of self defense, whether from criminals in government or common criminals.
We must have basic, enforceable and enforced labor laws for the simple fact that many cannot or will not stand up for themselves against oppressive, abusive employers and will literally do or say anything to get or keep a job including degrading their health from lack of exercise, over work, repetitive injuries and on and on. The elites who run the corporations, from whatever country, have proven time and again they prefer desperate workers who will show up on time, do what they’re told and never ask inappropriate questions.
We must establish a basic easy to understand tariff system that will discourage American corporations from taking advantage of either foreign or domestic workers.
Since in reality there is no such thing as a ‘right’ to work to enslave others or restrict their liberties, deportation for communists(by whatever cute name they call themselves), fundamentalist religious extremists, statists and authoritarians of various stripes, corporate workaholic jerks…. shall be considered.
A recognition that corporations are not human beings and thus cannot enjoy the same rights as a human being. They may have certain rights as in speech, property, copyright etc. but they cannot put their rights or their desire for profit over the rights or well-being of human beings.
Establish real environmental laws that hold corporate executives and their workers personally responsible for the damage they do to our environment.
We must create a civilian militia force outside government intervention with the primary purpose of protecting the Bill of Rights from all government and corporate and/or other entities at all levels within our society.
Since so many in our society are mentally so far removed from reality and so physically unfit as to be useless in a national emergency, such as would be needed to counter domestic insurgency or foreign invasion by statist/authoritarian entities we need some kind of basic conscription and military training for all youth. In short, there are many millions who could use a drill instructor yelling in their face for a while and others who desperately need to be trained away from their mindless pacifism.
Reveal everything the governments know about the alien/inter-dimensional presence on our planet, in our skies, where ever they may be or not be. The yet simple-minded will scoff at this, but it could actually be the most important item on this list, especially if as some claim, our governments and corporations are privy to information and or technology that would change how we all live within and see the reality we exist in.
I’ll throw this last one in for fun, even though it’s not likely to happen, it’s nice to think about: We should shut the district of commie criminals down and turn it into a museum of tyranny. Move the capitol to the middle of Kansas. Allow them to meet only two weeks of the year – Jan. 1-15, during which time they must sleep in tents heated by cow dung. No hotels, airports, bars, NGOs, lobbyists, or any other assorted distractions allowed within 500 miles.
I don’t pretend the above is perfect or complete, not by any means. But it’s a fun start. The sad fact is that achieving such in any near future will most likely involve doing what will be required, as much as so many are loathe to even admit to themselves much less publicly.
