EXPLOSIVE BREAKING: IMF Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols Implementation Continues Relentlessly
Wednesday November 21, 2012
IMF Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols Implementation Continues Relentlessly 2 of 2
by Tom Heneghan International Intelligence Expert
P.P.P. S. At this hour, criminal brokerage firm Goldman Sachs, along with Marc Rich's Swiss-based Glencore Commodities, continue to manipulate crude oil and natural gas prices using co-mingled Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocol funds.
They are using cross-collateralized derivatives tied to undermargined U.S. dollar and Japanese yen cross rate manipulated valuation. In closing, folks, the problem still remains in the United States: a cancerous virus called the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate aka Bush and Bitch that control the U.S. media with their illegal use of Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocol funds.
The U.S. military needs to pivot, and PIVOT NOW !
One last note: It is important to remember that it was then Vice President, now year 2000 duly elected President Albert Gore Jr., and then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin that helped to release Ambassador Wanta from his illegal imprisonment in a Swiss dungeon. Netanyahu then conspired to have then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin assassinated before Rabin could have the Israeli Supreme Court indict Netanyahu for money laundry and enabling the illegal conversion of funds.
Israeli patriot and war hero Yitzhak Rabin would eventually be assassinated on Israeli soil with a plot to kill him directed by none other than the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate and then treasonous Israeli Cabinet official Benjamin Netanyahu.

With everything that is going on behind the scenes it is interesting to reflect back on history.
Victor Martinez is a writer/editor who runs a newsgroup and sometimes collects info on a topic and aggregates it.
He has done this recently with regard to the Kennedy assassination.
In a recent release he cites this quote, from Madeleine Duncan Brown's book, "Texas in the Morning" which highlights Kennedy's view on a future running mate just prior to his death:
Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln wrote that the day President Kennedy left for Dallas, they discussed the Bobby Baker scandal, LBJ's deep involvement in it, and the effects of the scandal on the campaign.
Kennedy told her: "I will need a running mate in '64, a man who believes as I do."
Lincoln wrote: "President Kennedy had talked and I had just listened, but I did venture one question.
Now I asked, "Who is your choice as a running mate?"
He looked straight ahead, and without hesitating, he replied:
'At this time, I am thinking about Governor Terry Sanford of N Carolina. BUT IT WILL NOT BE LYNDON.' "

Concerning the personal friendship between Lyndon B. Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover.
Statement by Bobby Baker. He says that Lyndon Johnson told him that J.Edgar Hoover had 'extensive files on President Kennedy's womanizing', and that he hated both brothers.
To many people it was surprising that Kennedy chose Johnson to be Vice President.
Evelyn Lincoln remembers parts of their conversation.
The conversation they vowed to never disclose the information within.
She is convinced they were blackmailed.
One thing was the claims of the President's womanizing, FED to Johnson by Hoover. "They were boxed in".
Lastly a couple of statements by Hoover and LBJ. Phone conversations included. Clip of JFK concerning Johnson as the new Vice President.

WHO IS BOBBY BAKER?
Robert (Bobby) Baker was born in Pickens, South Carolina in 1929. At the age of 14 Baker became a page at the Senate.
He was befriended by Lyndon B. Johnson and eventually became secretary to the Senate Majority Leader.
At this time he obtained the nickname Little Lyndon.
Harry McPherson, another Johnson aide, described Baker as:
"He was very smart, very quick, and indefatigable. Just worked all the time. He was always running someplace to make some kind of a deal."
Johnson also used Baker to obtain political information.
He told Jenkins that it was very important to "read" politicians.
He constantly told him: "Watch their hands, watch their eyes. Read eyes. No matter what a man is saying to you, it's not important as what you can read in his eyes.
The most important thing a man has to tell you is what he's not telling you.
The most important thing he has to say is what he's trying not to say." Robert A. Caro (Lyndon Johnson: Master of the Senate) quotes Baker as saying:
"He seemed to sense each man's individual price and the commodity he preferred as coin."
In the early 1950s Baker had also been involved in helping that Intercontinental Hotels Corporation establishing casinos in the Dominican Republic.
Baker arranged for Ed Levison, an associate of Meyer Lansky and Sam Giancana, to become involved in this deal.
When the first of these casinos were opened in 1955, Baker and Lyndon B. Johnson were invited as official guests.
In 1960 Johnson's was elected as vice president under John F. Kennedy.
Baker remained as Johnson's secretary and political adviser.
He continued to do business with Levison, Giancana and Ben Siegelbaum (an associate of Jimmy Hoffa) in the Dominican Republic.
Baker argued that Dominican Republic could be a Mafia replacement for Cuba.
However, these plans came to an end when the military dictator, Rafael Trujillo, was murdered on the orders of the CIA.
President Kennedy now gave his support to Juan Bosch when he was elected to office in December, 1962.
Bobby Baker, Senate Pageboy, with Leslie Biffle (c.1945)
Baker had already arranged another source of income.
In 1962 he had had established the Serve-U-Corporation with his friend, Fred Black, and mobsters Ed Levenson and Benny Sigelbaum.
The company was to provide vending machines for companies working on federally granted programs. The machines were manufactured by a company secretly owned by Sam Giancana and other mobsters based in Chicago.
The president of Serve-U-Corporation was Eugene A. Han#####, who was a business partner of Grant Stockdale and George Smathers at Automatic Vending Services.
Questions were asked about Stockdale's business involvement with Baker.
In an interview he insisted he was "absolutely not" a stockholder in Serve-U-Corporation.
He also pointed out that he had disposed of his holdings in Automatic Vending Services, more than a year earlier.
However, under pressure from President John F. Kennedy, he resigned as Ambassador to Ireland in July, 1962.
Rumours began circulating that Baker was involved in corrupt activities.
Although officially his only income was that of Secretary to the Majority in the Senate, he was clearly a very rich man.
Baker was investigated by Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
He discovered Baker had links to Clint Murchison and several Mafia bosses.
Evidence also emerged that Lyndon B. Johnson was also involved in political corruption.
This included the award of a $7 billion contract for a fighter plane, the F-111, to General Dynamics, a company based in Texas.
On 7th October, 1963, Baker was forced to resign his post.
Soon afterwards, Fred Korth, the Navy Secretary, was also forced to resign because of the F-111 contract.
According to Anthony Summers (Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover) Bill Thompson asked Baker if he would arrange a meeting between Ellen Rometsch and John F. Kennedy.
Baker later said that: "He (Kennedy) sent back word it was the best time he ever had in his life. That was not the only time. She saw him on other occasions. It went on for a while."
J. Edgar Hoover discovered that Kennedy was having a relationship with Ellen Rometsch.
In July 1963 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents questioned Romesch about her past.
They came to the conclusion that she was probably a Soviet spy.
Hoover actually leaked information to the journalist, Courtney Evans, that Romesch worked for Walter Ulbricht, the communist leader of East Germany.
When Robert Kennedy was told about this information, he ordered her to be deported.
The FBI had discovered that there were several women at the Quorum Club, run by Baker, who had been involved in relationships with leading politicians.
This included both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
It was particularly worrying that this included Mariella Novotny and Suzy Chang.
This was a problem because they had both initially came from communist countries and had been named as part of the spy ring that had trapped John Profumo, the British war minister, a few months earlier.
President Kennedy told J. Edgar Hoover that he "personally interested in having this story killed".
Hoover refused and leaked the information to Clark Mollenhoff.
On 26th October he wrote an article in the Des Moines Register claiming that the FBI had "established that the beautiful brunette had been attending parties with congressional leaders and some prominent New Frontiersmen from the executive branch of Government...
The possibility that her activity might be connected with espionage was of some concern, because of the high rank of her male companions".
Mollenhoff claimed that John Williams "had obtained an account" of Rometsch's activity and planned to pass this information to the Senate Rules Committee, the body investigating Baker.
The following day Robert Kennedy sent La Verne Duffy to West Germany to meet Ellen Rometsch.
In exchange for a great deal of money she agreed to sign a statement formally "denying intimacies with important people."
Kennedy now contacted Hoover and asked him to persuade the Senate leadership that the Senate Rules Committee investigation of this story was "contrary to the national interest".
He also warned on 28th October that other leading members of Congress would be drawn into this scandal and so was "contrary to the interests of Congress, too".
J. Edgar Hoover had a meeting with Mike Mansfield, the Democratic leader of the Senate and Everett Dirksen, the Republican counterpart.
What was said at this meeting has never been released.
However, as a result of the meeting that took place in Mansfield's home the Senate Rules Committee decided not to look into the Rometsch scandal.
According to the president's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, Kennedy had decided that because of this emerging scandal he was going to drop Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate in the 1964 election.
He told Lincoln that he was going to replace Johnson with Terry Sanford.
On 22nd November, 1963, a friend of Baker's, Don B. Reynolds told B. Everett Jordan and his Senate Rules Committee that Johnson had demanded that he provided kickbacks in return for this business.
This included a $585 Magnavox stereo. Reynolds also had to pay for $1,200 worth of advertising on KTBC, Johnson's television station in Austin. Reynolds had paperwork for this transaction including a delivery note that indicated the stereo had been sent to the home of Johnson.
Don B. Reynolds also told of seeing a suitcase full of money which Baker described as a "$100,000 payoff to Johnson for his role in securing the Fort Worth TFX contract".
His testimony came to an end when news arrived that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated.
Life Magazine (November, 1963)
As soon as Lyndon B. Johnson became president he contacted B. Everett Jordan to see if there was any chance of stopping this information being published.
Jordan replied that he would do what he could but warned Johnson that some members of the committee wanted Reynold's testimony to be released to the public.
On 6th December, 1963, Jordan spoke to Johnson on the telephone and said he was doing what he could to suppress the story because " it might spread (to) a place where we don't want it spread."
Abe Fortas, a lawyer who represented both Lyndon B. Johnson and Bobby Baker, worked behind the scenes in an effort to keep this information from the public.
Johnson also arranged for a smear campaign to be organized against Don B. Reynolds.
To help him do this J. Edgar Hoover passed to Johnson the FBI file on Reynolds.
Nancy Carole Tyler moved back to Tennessee but returned in 1965 to work with Baker as his bookkeeper at the Carousel Motel.
Tyler believed that Baker would leave his wife.
When he refused, she became very angry and according to Baker, made scenes. This included threats to commit suicide.
On 17th January, 1964, the Senate Rules Committee voted to release to the public Reynold's secret testimony.
Johnson responded by leaking information from Reynolds' FBI file to Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson.
On 5th February, 1964, the Washington Post reported that Reynolds had lied about his academic success at West Point.
The article also claimed that Reynolds had been a supporter of Joseph McCarthy and had accused business rivals of being secret members of the American Communist Party.
It was also revealed that Reynolds had made anti-Semitic remarks while in Berlin in 1953.
A few weeks later the New York Times reported that Lyndon B. Johnson had used information from secret government documents to smear Don B. Reynolds.
It also reported that Johnson's officials had been applying pressure on the editors of newspapers not to print information that had been disclosed by Reynolds in front of the Senate Rules Committee.
On 10th May, 1965, Baker's secretary, Nancy Carole Tyler, died in a plane crash, near Ocean City, Maryland,.
Her roommate, Mary Jo Kopechne, died in road accident when a passenger of a car driven by Edward Kennedy.
Despite the efforts of his lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams, in 1967 Baker was found guilty of seven counts of theft, fraud and income tax evasions.
This included accepting large sums in "campaign donations" intended to buy influence with various senators, but had kept the money for himself.
He was sentenced to three years in federal prison but served only sixteen months.
Baker later wrote about his experiences in the book Wheeling and Dealing: Confessions of a Capitol Hill Operator (1978).
Joachim Joesten, an investigative journalist, wrote:
"The Baker scandal then is truly the hidden key to the assassination, or more exact, the timing of the Baker affair crystallized the more or less vague plans to eliminate Kennedy which had already been in existence the threat of complete exposure which faced Johnson in the Baker scandal provided that final impulse he was forced to give the go-ahead signal to the plotters who had long been waiting for the right opportunity."

1966 US Government Document Outlines National Weather
Modification Programs And Implications
November 1, 2012
The document contained below is very damning.
It should be a stark wake up call for any that still deny the existence of massive covert weather modification programs which are coordinated by various governments around the world.
It outlines in great detail the existence of expanding US weather modification programs for at least a decade prior to the document in question. (Back to at least 1956).
A “special commission” is outlined in this document to coordinate the multiple governmental agencies involved with US weather modification programs as well as independent contractors and universities which the report also mentions.
It covers the “management” of international impacts, legal and social ramifications, species disruptions, biological consequences, etc.
A rapidly increasing mountain of data makes ever more clear that almost none of us alive today have known completely natural weather.
That massive covert government programs have been playing “God” with the biosphere for probably 60 years or more.
That in recent years, the scope and scale of these devastating weather modification programs has been ramped up so much that the entire climate system and biosphere is at stake.
The lethal nature of the ongoing “geoengineering” programs can not be overstated.
Life on our planet is quite literally in the balance. Geoengineering must be brought into the light of day and then to a halt.
All are needed to assist in this all important effort.

Lethal methane gas released by ice meltdown October 12, 2012
Below is some of the most recent data on the methane hydrate release that has been unleashed in the Arctic.
A point to consider is the articles mention of methane being 20 times more potent than Co2 as a greenhouse gas.
This figure is only accurate over a 100 year time horizon.
The immediate situation is much worse.
Methane is over 100 times more potent as a greenhouse gas over a ten year horizon.
Over a 5 year horizon, stronger still.
The methane expulsion is a global game changer on its own.
All available data indicates that this change will occur at blinding speed.
Indeed, the effects of the methane hydrate release is already manifesting itself.
As the planet rapidly warms, this in turn will trigger more methane hydrate and clathrate releases around the globe.
Events of this nature have been recorded in the past via paleoclimatic data, twice in the last 300 million years, the end of the Permian era (255 million years ago), and the Paleocene/Eocene (55 million years ago).
Both were mass extinction events.
The lethality of the methane release is not limited to the atmosphere, but extends to Earth’s oceans.
As the plumes of methane rise from the sea floor to the surface, much is absorbed into the sea water causing very destructive acidification of the ocean water.
The two previous events are believed to have caused a terrestrial extinction of over 70%, and an ocean extinction of over 90%.
Though groups of scientists like the “AMEG” group (Arctic Methane Emergency Group) are now repeatedly and frantically calling for “immediate wartime scale geoengineering”, to avert a “planetary catastrophe” clearly they are either completely in a bubble, or are providing cover for the ongoing geoengineering programs.
Data indicates that the global spraying has been going on at some level for as much as 60 years.
It would appear that this spraying is the primary cause of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere ozone holes.
Clearly the spraying is the cause of the ever worsening global droughts.
At this point, all available data would suggest that geoengineering is a “cure” that has only fueled things to the dire point they are now at.
The methane has been triggered, and there is no way to stop it.
Our best move at this point is to do everything possible to bring the spraying (and HAARP) to light, and to a halt.
Only then can the planet respond.
The poisoning of the air, soils and waters from the spraying would cease.
The hydrological cycle would resume.
The rain would return.
The mass die off of the boreal forests would be reversed, at least for a time. T
he ozone layer could begin the process of rejuvenation.
We are in uncharted water to be sure, but if the spraying continues, our fate is already carved in stone.

Lethal methane gas released by ice meltdown
Dramatic and unprecedented plumes of methane – a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide – have been seen bubbling to the surface of the Arctic Ocean by scientists undertaking an extensive survey of the region.
The scale and volume of the methane release has astonished the head of the Russian research team who has been surveying the seabed of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf off northern Russia for nearly 20 years.
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Igor Semiletov, of the Far Eastern branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that he has never before witnessed the scale and force of the methane being released from beneath the Arctic seabed. (click on image to enlarge)
“Earlier we found torch-like structures like this but they were only tens of metres in diameter.
This is the first time that we’ve found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1,000 metres in diameter. It’s amazing,” Dr Semiletov said.
“I was most impressed by the sheer scale and high density of the plumes. Over a relatively small area we found more than 100, but over a wider area there should be thousands of them.”
Scientists estimate that there are hundreds of millions of tonnes of methane gas locked away beneath the Arctic permafrost, which extends from the mainland into the seabed of the relatively shallow sea of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf.
One of the greatest fears is that with the disappearance of the Arctic sea-ice in summer, and rapidly rising temperatures across the entire region, which are already melting the Siberian permafrost, the trapped methane could be suddenly released into the atmosphere leading to rapid and severe climate change.
Dr Semiletov’s team published a study in 2010 estimating that the methane emissions from this region were about eight million tonnes a year, but the latest expedition suggests this is a significant underestimate of the phenomenon.
In late summer, the Russian research vessel Academician Lavrentiev conducted an extensive survey of about 10,000 square miles of sea off the East Siberian coast.
Scientists deployed four highly sensitive instruments, both seismic and acoustic, to monitor the “fountains” or plumes of methane bubbles rising to the sea surface from beneath the seabed.
“In a very small area, less than 10,000 square miles, we have counted more than 100 fountains, or torch-like structures, bubbling through the water column and injected directly into the atmosphere from the seabed,” Dr Semiletov said.
“We carried out checks at about 115 stationary points and discovered methane fields of a fantastic scale – I think on a scale not seen before.
Some plumes were a kilometre or more wide and the emissions went directly into the atmosphere – the concentration was a hundred times higher than normal.”
Dr Semiletov released his findings for the first time last week at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.

Check out principia-scientific.org for a paper by Brazilian climatologist Prof. Nasif Nahle on the repeatability of Prof. R.W. Wood’s 1909 experiment that disproved the theory of a “greenhouse gas effect.”
There is no physical or chemical principle, and no experimental demonstration, of any “greenhouse effect” caused by any atmospheric gas absorbing and emitting IR radiation.
CO2 or methane-caused global warming is a fake cover story for localized and regional weather manipulation by means of particulate and aerosol spraying, coupled with ionospheric heating systems related to HAARP.
Al Gore hornswoggled “progressive” and green activists by giving them a big stick – CO2 from burning fossil fuels acting like a greenhouse and causing catastrophic global warming – with which to beat the big, bad, greedy energy corporations.
Now those who want to save the Earth zealously defend the fake science of “greenhouse gas effect.”
They never notice the bait-and-switch in the term “Anthropogenic”, i.e. man-made global “climate change” (instead of “global warming”).
This new term precisely describes the effects of geo-engineering.
Global weather wierdness has nothing to do with the imaginary “greenhouse gas effect.”
The website Human Events
published an article by Jarret Stepman in which he attacks nullification
advocates. In his article, “Secessionists and Nullifiers won’t Succeed,”
Stepman agrees that citizens must resist federal power.
“There are far better options on the table, and more legal ways for citizens to
resist the power of the federal government.”
However, Stepman says that nullification is not the answer.
“Although there is a great temptation for conservatives, in light of the most
recent election, to attempt to nullify federal laws and even abandon the union,
it must be noted that these actions are unproductive, unconstitutional, have
led to the destruction of two national political parties and one bloody civil
war.”
Stepman begins his argument with a history lecture. He correctly explains the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 as the origins of
nullification, and points out that they were written by Thomas Jefferson,
and James Madison,
respectively.
“These resolutions were written in response to the Alien and Sedition
Acts passed by Federalist dominated Congress and President John
Adams…The resolutions, while fueling political movement that brought Thomas
Jefferson and his followers to power, was outright rejected by ten states.”
While it is true that the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions were rejected, the
author fails to mention why. First off, the Alien And Sedition Acts gave the
federal government the power to imprison anybody criticizing it. That certainly
created a chilling effect on public debate. Furthermore, Stepman ignores the
political realities of the time. The Federalist Party
controlled most state legislatures. The Federalist party also controlled
Congress and the presidency. So yes, these Federalist state legislatures failed
to oppose a doctrine meant to void a policy their own party created and
supported. Amazing! But it gets better –
and Stepman ignores this fact as well – these same states that
rejected nullification of the Alien and Sedition Acts drug the doctrine out
about 10 years later as a way to fight Jefferson’s blockade, and then again a
few years later to block federal conscription during the War of 1812. Daniel
Webster, whom Stepman uses as a citation in his opposition to nullification,
wrote:
“The operation of measures thus
unconstitutional and illegal ought to be prevented by a resort to other
measures which are both constitutional and legal. It will be the solemn duty of
the State governments to protect their own
authority over their own militia, and to interpose between their citizens and
arbitrary power. These are among the objects for which the State governments
exist” Clearly, the opposition
to Jefferson and Madison’s resolutions in 1798 was political, not principled.
Next, the article leads readers to
the conclusion that James Madison opposed nullification later in his life.
Stepman gives us a quote from Madison during the South Carolina Nullification Crisis.
“But it follows from no view of the
subject, that a nullification of a law of the U.S. can, as is now contended,
being rightfully to a single State, as one of the parties to the Constitution;
the State not ceasing to avow its adherence to the Constitution. A plainer
contradiction in terms, or a more fatal inlet to anarchy, cannot be imagined.”
However, this shows another false
contention. While these words did come from
Madison in his Notes on Nullification,
it was not the general principle of nullification he was opposing. Rather,
Madison was opposing the process established by the South Carolina legislature,
in which all other states must recognize the nullifying power of a single
state, unless ¾ of the states voted against it.
That the doctrine of nullification
may be clearly understood it
must be taken as laid down in the Report of a special committee of the House of
Representatives of S. C. in 1828. In that document it is
asserted, that a single State has a constitutional right to arrest the
execution of a law of the U. S. within its limits; that the arrest is to be
presumed right and valid, and is to remain in force unless ¾ of the States, in
a Convention, shall otherwise decide.
This is not the same nullification
or interposition that Madison referred to in his Virginia Resolutions, and is
clearly not the same as current nullification efforts. No current state is
trying to achieve this objective. With the words, “as is now contended,”
Madison is making the affirmation that no one geographical area has any power
over the rest of the states.
But in the same Notes on
Nullification, Madison reaffirmed a state’s authority to judge for itself when
the feds go beyond their authority and to take action within the borders of the
state. “She (Virginia in the 1798
Resolutions) asserted moreover & offered her proofs that the States had a
right in such cases, to interpose, first in their constituent character to
which the govt of the U. S. was responsible, and otherwise as specially
provided by the Constitution; and further, that the States, in their capacity
of parties to and creators of the Constitution, had an ulterior right to
interpose, notwithstanding any decision of a constituted authority; which,
however it might be the last resort under the forms of the Constitution in
cases falling within the scope of its functions, could not preclude an
interposition of the States as the parties which made the Constitution and, as
such, possessed an authority paramount to it.”
Madison was primarily concerned with
preserving the Union at this point in his life. It is also important to note
that he believed the tariff to be a bad policy, but not unconstitutional. While
he rejected South Carolina’s nullification efforts during the tariff battle,
and he made some statements that contradicted earlier contentions, (Madison
was, in fact, a political creature too.) he never abandoned the basic
principles he laid down in 1798. And Thomas Jefferson certainly didn’t either.
Finally, Stepman makes the statement that nullification “goes too far,” but
says there are better ways to resist federal power. Ways such as the Health
Care Freedom Act, for example, which states that, “No government entity can
force an individual to participate in the healthcare system or stop an
individual from purchasing treatment.”
The author continues to say that the “Governor can also refuse to set up health
care exchanges in their states.” Apparently, Stepman believes that refusing
federal laws is not nullification. However, no matter how you try to put it,
that is exactly what it is.
Stepman is opposing nullification and advocating it, all at the same time. By
rejecting nullification as legitimate resistance to federal power, yet
supporting it in practice, Stepman makes you wonder if he even knows what
nullification is. Nullification is any
act or set of acts which has as its end result a particular federal law being
rendered null, void, or just plain unenforceable in your state. It flows from
the basic principle that the federal government was created by an act of the
people of sovereign states. In fact, several of the state ratifying instruments
specifically assert that the states retain the power to reassume (i.e. take
back) those powers. Take New York’s ratifying document for instance.
That the powers of government may be
reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their
happiness; that every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by the said
Constitution clearly delegated to the Congress of the United States, or the
departments of the government thereof, remains to the people of the several
states, or to their respective state governments, to whom they may have granted
the same; and that those clauses in the said Constitution, which declare that
Congress shall not have or exercise certain powers, do not imply that Congress
is entitled to any powers not given by the said Constitution; but such clauses
are to be construed either as exceptions to certain specified powers, or as
inserted merely for greater caution.

It logically follows that the people of the states retain the final say on the
extent of the powers they have delegated. How can the people of the states have
the authority to “reassume” powers if they don’t have the authority to judge
the extent of the power in the first place? The people act through their
elected representatives at the state level. So nullification stands as
legitimate exercise of power within the structure of the system the framers
created.
As Madison stated in his Report on the Virginia Resolutions, “The states then,
being parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity it
follows of necessity, that there can be no tribunal above their authority, to
decide in the last resort, whether the compact made by them be violated; and,
consequently, that, as parties to it, they must themselves decide, in the last
resort, such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their
interposition.”
Stepman gives us a nice history lesson. And he does a fine job of pointing out
historical opposition to nullification. But he fails to ever get to heart of
the matter – the legitimacy of nullification within basic structure of the
Union.

Answer -- The primary goal of Nesaranews is to help all people become better truth-seekers in a real-time boots-on-the-ground fashion. This is for the purpose of learning to think critically, discovering the truth from within—not just believing things blindly because it came from an "authority" or credible source. Instead of telling you what the truth is, we share information from many sources so that you can discern it for yourself. We focus on teaching you the tools to become your own authority on the truth, gaining self-mastery, sovereignty, and freedom in the process. We want each of you to become your own leaders and masters of personal discernment, and as such, all information should be vetted, analyzed and discerned at a personal level. We also encourage you to discuss your thoughts in the comments section of this site to engage in a group discernment process.
