City Council approves engineer study for sewer treatment plant “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell ***** All crooked roads lead to the CFR. ***** “If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” - Thomas Jefferson.

Unfortunately, the bank control Jefferson warned us about happened several times throughout our history and the latest being the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 which is just as much a federal agency as Federal Express.

That led to this quote from Woodrow Wilson in 1919: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A

The City Council of Howe met Tuesday, June 29, to discuss the matter of the sewer contract with the City of Sherman. The contract originally dates back to 1968, but the two cities have a long history of lawsuits and renegotiations over the years. On Tuesday, the council met behind closed doors in executive session for a short period of time and came out with a clear and direct roadmap. The

council authorized the city administrator to execute a professional services agreement with EST, an engineering firm, for services related to the site, planning for a new wastewater treatment plant.

There was no discussion of where the plant could eventually be constructed, however, due to gravitational flow, the northwest side of Howe near FM 902 makes

Members of the Howe City Council voted unanimously to approve an engineer study for a city-owned wastewater treatment plant. the most logical sense.

The City of Howe last owned their own wastewater treatment plant in the late 1960s which was located at the current site of Bicentennial Park located at what is now “North Field”, the 1214U baseball field.

One can envision a bond package that could include a treatment plant returned to that location with a baseball/softball complex as part of the same bond to be constructed at Jones Park, a 46-acre city-owned area that is currently unused. However, a plant in 2021 or 2031

would most likely need to be much larger than the current Bicentennial Park grounds.

Currently, the City of Howe has room for approximately 200300 homes to be added to the current sewer system under contract with Sherman.

Former SOSU hurler will guide Howe 8U comes the Bulldogs baseball program up short in finals The Howe Bulldogs will have a new head baseball coach for the 2022 season and Cody Nitson has been hired to replace Ryan Moreau who left for an assistant coach position for the Sherman Bearcat.

Nitson, a 25-year-old coach’s kid is originally of Wills Point, Texas, but graduated from Caddo Mills in 2014 where his dad was a coach.

In coaching and in most professions, it can be “who you

know” that can propel you into your next opportunity and his dad Gene Nitson has most recently been an assistant coach under Zack Hudson at Mabank. It was Hudson, the former Howe athletic director that got the interview for Cody Nitson with now Athletic Director Bill Jehling.

In high school, Nitson was a 3-year starting pitcher and was a workhorse in his final two seasons by throwing the most pitches of anyone in the district. He was named

Cody Nitson first team cooffensive player of the year in 2014 and first team all-district pitcher in 2013.

as they fell behind big early, however, they did finally get their bats going but lost 27-12.

Game two took place on Sunday, June 27 against Nacogdoches, and the Bulldogs came to play. They received a big RBI from Silas Garibay with the bases loaded to get things going. Every batter in the lineup contributed with big hits. The game was close from start to finish and was won by Howe in walk-off fashion, 18-17, in the bottom of the sixth inning on a base hit by Hayes Carter to drive in Keegan Crosson from first base.

The Bulldogs played game 3 later that Sunday and it was a nail-biter against Sulphur Springs. The game was tied 7-7 in the fifth inning when Sulphur Springs, with runners on, hit a line drive to the outfield. The ball was thrown in quickly to shortstop Jase Kane on the relay and he proceeded to throw a laser from right-center to the catcher Keegan Crosson to gun out the runner attempting to score. In the sixth inning, the Bulldogs bats got hot, and they scored four runs thanks to the bats of Asa Kane, Cam Fair, Jase Kane, and a line drive to right smoked by Wren Bunch. Anders Bjorn continued to carry a big stick to drive in Bunch. The Bulldogs went to the sixth inning up 11-7, however, the Tigers began to rally. After getting the first out on a ground out

to Bennett Allison, Sulphur Springs scored two runs to make it 11-9 but the Bulldogs locked it down to secure the 11-9 win. This advanced the ‘Dogs to the semifinal game on Monday morning for the chance to play in the Championship game.

Game four took place on Monday morning June 28. The Bulldogs faced off again with the team that beat them badly earlier that weekend in Huffman, however, the outcome would be different this time. Huffman struck early with four runs in the first inning, but the Bulldogs defense settled down to shut them out for the next four innings. In the meantime, Howe began to climb back with two big hits in the gap by Jaxon Windon and another by Bennett Allison to make it 5-4 Huffman in the top of the sixth inning. With the Bulldogs down to their final out Paxton Murphy roped a line drive to right-center to drive in Anders Bjorn to tie the game. The Bulldogs went to the bottom of the sixth inning needing a stop to force extra innings, but it was not meant to be, as Huffman started the inning with a triple from their first batter, and with the infield in, a ground ball up the middle was able to get through to score the runner as the Bulldogs lost 6-5 to end their run in the tournament.

Coaches for the Howe 8U AllStars were Chris Kane, Josh Murphy, Chad Fair, and Kevin Crosson.

Nitson

Cody Nitson pitching for Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

Photo by SOSU. (Continued from page 1)

From Caddo Mills, Nitson played baseball at Tarleton for two seasons before transferring to Southeastern Oklahoma State University. It was at Southeastern where he met the love of his life Hunter Offil, a former softball player for the Van Alstyne Panthers.

Southeastern baseball coach Zach Crabtree said, "Cody was a good college pitcher. I would like to have about four of him. He's a hard worker and I knew when I sent him to the mound we would have a chance to win. Cody is a competitor, a true staff ace and as good as any pitcher in the Great American Conference his last two years."

The staff leader in starts, innings, and strikeouts in 2019, Nitson once said at SOSU, "I'm as normal as normal gets. My life's not exciting and I like it that way."

After college, his plan was to be a physical therapist, but began to think more about coaching while at SOSU. Hardly ever does anyone land a head coaching job as their first job out of college, but it was “who you know” that landed him just that opportunity at Dalhart. His sister is an English teacher there and helped him get the interview with the athletic director.

“To get the actual interview, it’s all about who you know,” said Nitson.

With his wife Hunter being from Van Alstyne, Nitson wanted to get closer to home which led him to look at Howe for his next opportunity.

“After talking with Coach Jehling, it all just made sense and this is as close as we can possibly be to Van Alstyne without actually being in Van Alstyne,” said Nitson.

Nitson will inherit a good group of baseball players with Parker Pecina and Austin Haley at the very top as they return as first team all-district selections. Ryan Hough, along with Luke and Ethan Lopez will also return as all -district selections. A fully healthy Carson Daniels should anchor the meat of the Dogs lineup for the next two seasons also. The development of Matt Hayes as a pitcher should also play a big role in the future. Underclassmen Cooper Jones could very well make the leap to varsity in 2022 with good JV talent in Luciano Vazquez, Kolin Murphy, and Mahlon Walker to name a few.

Nitson said in a SOSU spotlight that he wanted to be coaching baseball at 94 years old.

“I want to win and I’m a very competitive person, but at the end of the year, if I’ve made an impact on a kid’s life and baseball career, I’ll feel accomplished,” said Nitson.

16th Amendment: Fraud not new to controlling Americans In 1913 America was a free country. Then a band of powerful bankers achieved their fathers’ and great grandfathers’ goal.

America has never been the same.

Soon the world will not be the same.

With Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States, powerful bankers such as JP Morgan, Paul Warburg, and John D. Rockefeller achieved their long-term goal of taking control of the American government. They convinced Secretary of State Philander Knox to lie to the American people and tell them that the 16th Amendment (the income tax law) had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. Then bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

Because of this fraud, the American people were led to believe that there was now a tax on their labor. Congress and the President were completely aware of the fraud, and it was even cited in a 2003 court case.

“If you…examined (The 16th Amendment) carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment.” – U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox 2003.

That same year, the bankers committed their second and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people by bribing Senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act without the required Constitutional Amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation when many Senators were home celebrating the holidays with their families.

The bankers understood that whoever issued the money for America would control the government.

The bankers won and the American people lost because most politicians will sell their soul for a dollar.

“Give me control of a nation’s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” – Mayer Roth-

schild, Private Banker.

With the creation of the Federal Reserve, the government now had to borrow money from them and pay interest to finance the government. This forced the American people to lower their standard of living and pay a graduated income tax to the government just so the governments could give the bankers more profits. President Wilson later regretted signing into law the Federal Reserve Act as it turned a great industrial nation into a system of credit.

Bill Benson's findings, published in "The Law That Never Was," make a convincing case that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified, and that Secretary of State Philander Knox was not merely in error, but committed fraud when he declared it ratified in February 1913. What follows is a summary of some of the major findings for many of the states, showing that their ratifications were not legal and should not have been counted.

The 16th amendment had been sent out in 1909 to the state governors for ratification by the state legislatures after having been passed by Congress. There were 48 states at that time, and threefourths, or 36, of them were required to give their approval in order for it to be ratified. The process took almost the whole term of the Taft administration, from 1909 to 1913.

Knox had received responses from 42 states when he declared the 16th amendment ratified on February 25, 1913, just a few days before leaving office to make way for the administration of Woodrow Wilson. Knox acknowledged that four of those states (Utah, Conn, R.I. and N.H.) had rejected it, and he counted 38 states as having approved it. We will now examine some of the key evidence Bill Benson found regarding the approval of the amendment in many of those states.

16th Amendment (Continued from page 6)

In Kentucky, the legislature acted on the amendment without even having received it from the governor (the governor of each state was to transmit the proposed amendment to the state legislature). The version of the amendment that the Kentucky legislature made up and acted upon omitted the words "on income" from the text, so they weren't even voting on an income tax.

When they straightened that out (with the help of the governor), the Kentucky senate rejected the amendment. Yet Philander Knox counted Kentucky as approving it.

In Oklahoma, the legislature changed the wording of the amendment so that its meaning was virtually the opposite of what was intended by Congress, and this was the version they sent back to Knox. Yet Knox counted Oklahoma as approving it, despite a memo from his chief legal counsel, Reuben Clark, that states were not allowed to change it in any way.

Attorneys who have studied the subject have agreed that Kentucky and Oklahoma should not have been counted as approvals

by Philander Knox, and, moreover, if any state could be shown to have violated its own state consti-

tution or laws in its approval process, then that state's approval would have to be thrown out.

That gets us past the "presumptive conclusion" argument, which says that the actions of an executive official cannot be judged by a court and admits that Knox could be wrong.

If we subtract Kentucky and Oklahoma from the 38 approvals above, the count of valid approvals falls to 36, the exact number needed for ratification. If any more states can be shown to have had invalid approvals, the 16th amendment must be regarded as null and void.

The state constitution of Tennessee prohibited the state legislature from acting on any proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution sent by Congress until after the next election of state legislators. The intent, of course, is to give the proposed amendment a chance to become an issue in the state legislative elections so that the people can have a voice in determining the outcome. It also provides a cooling off period to reduce the tendency to approve an idea just because it happens to be the moment's trend. You've probably already guessed that the Tennessee legislature did not hold off on voting for the amendment until after the next election, and you'd

Hannah Dwyer has committed to Midwestern State University and will be a member of the cheerleading squad.

Dwyer, a Howe High School 2021 graduate, was a varsity cheerleader and volleyball player for HHS. She was named Football Sweetheart during the 2020 season and was a Homecoming Queen nominee.

She’s been cheerleading since the age of three including competition cheer.

“It’s an honor to be a cheerleader because we get to go out there and support the boys,” said Dwyer during an October interview.

Howe athletes get new weight room equipment

Howe Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Bill Jehling was all smiles on Tuesday as the new weight room racks were delivered and installed at Howe High School. The racks are customed with “Howe” and “Bulldogs” and “HHS” stamped on each rack.

The Howe Bulldogs logo was placed on the new mat on the flooring and the logo was placed on the weight benches.

Miss Joyce read with her Wee Readers, and they enjoyed donut holes provided by Steve Conn.

Chill Out provided some yummy, shaved ice and Lil Bitty’s Rancho’s animals had fun with the Howe kids.

Children enjoyed crafting and hanging out with Angel from Grayson County Crisis Center.

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications.

This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices).

Texas History Minute Henry B. Gonzalez had a long and controversial career as a Texas politician.

He was the first Hispanic elected Ken Bridges to Congress from Texas and was never afraid to speak his mind on the issues.

Gonzalez was born to immigrant parents in San Antonio in 1916.

His parents arrived in Texas, fleeing the violence of the Mexican Revolution. His father rose to become an editor of a local Spanish -language newspaper and started a successful translation service.

Gonzalez graduated from San Antonio Junior College in 1937 and briefly attended the University of Texas. While he attended college, he married Bertha Cuellar, and the two had eight children together. He completed his bachelors degree at St. Mary’s University in Austin where he also earned a law degree by 1943.

After graduation, he briefly worked as a probation officer, quickly rising to lead the Bexar County office. He also worked as a teacher for a short period. In 1952, he was elected to the San Antonio city council where he pushed to end segregation at city parks and swimming pools.

He soon aimed for higher office.

In 1956, he was elected to the state senate. While a state senator, he became an outspoken defender of civil rights as he filibustered a bill that would have al-

lowed the state to close schools that faced any disturbances related to racial integration and defeated other bills attempting to enforce segregation. In 1958, Gonzalez ran for governor, losing the primary but winning reelection to the state senate in 1960. In 1961, after Lyndon B. Johnson became vice-president, Gonzalez ran for his open U. S. Senate seat. In a field of fifty candidates, he placed sixth statewide with 9% of the vote, carrying Bexar County.

Later that year, San Antonio’s longtime congressman, Paul Kilday, resigned in order to take a position on the Court of Military Appeals. Gonzalez quickly jumped into the race to fill the remainder of the term. In a hardfought election, Gonzalez prevailed with 55% of the vote.

An official portrait of Henry B. Gonzalez

He went to work immediately.

On the same day he was sworn into office, he filed a bill banning the poll tax, through which many states required citizens to pay to exercise their right to vote. The poll tax was banned by the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, which was ratified in 1964. He continued to be an outspoken advocate of the civil rights acts of the 1960s as well as federal funding for education and anti-poverty programs.

dy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Behind the scenes, the committee quickly erupted into acrimony over disputes stemming from investigative techniques, committee procedures, and even the budget.

Gonzalez himself had been in the motorcade in Dallas in 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated. He resigned from the committee within a few months, while the committee ultimately concluded that no conspiracy was apparent with the murders.

One of his most well-publicized actions was his service as chairman of the Select Committee on Assassination in 1977. This committee was pushed by Gonzalez in 1976 to study the assassinations of President John F. Kenne-

His harsh criticisms of political opponents did not win him many allies at the Capitol, but he eventually became the chairman of the House Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs Committee in 1989.

Here, he advocated banking re-

forms to make it easier for the working poor to afford their own homes. He criticized deregulation attempts that resulted in the collapse of the savings and loan industry in the late 1980s which ultimately cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion. He chaired the committee until 1994.

In 1998, as his health failed, he announced his retirement. His son, Charlie Gonzalez, won the race to succeed him. He died on November 8, 2000, but has since been widely honored for his service to Texas and the nation as the convention center in San Antonio was named for him in addition to four different elementary schools across the state, including in Dallas and Eagle Pass.

How much does God love you?

As our spiritual values become more centered on God, it’s normal to start looking forward to our eternal existence. For those who are Dr. Billy in Christ, how Holland exciting it is to know that our heavenly Father and His Son Jesus, our loved ones, our new name, our glorified body, inheritance, citizenship, and crowns and rewards are all a part of our glorious future. We are briefly passing through this world and the only thing we will take with us when we depart is an account of how we lived and loved. How wonderful to know that heaven will be filled with endless praise, everlasting joy, perfect peace, and contentment without darkness, suffering, worries, or sorrow. It’s true that God loves everyone, but we will not enter heaven just because we are good or deserve it. We are given eternal life when we repent, confess, believe, and accept by faith that within God’s grace, the blood of Jesus is the only price that can pay the ransom for our sins. Redemption is all about God’s plan that was accomplished on the cross. Listen to these lyrics from the song, East to the West by Casting Crowns, “In the arms of your mercy, I find rest... You know just how far the east is from the west... from one scarred hand to the other.”

I cannot imagine a more optimistic and exciting thought than going to heaven and spending an eternity in God’s presence. For the Christian, this promise should be a wellspring of joy reminding us that our trials cannot be compared to the glory that awaits us.

May we tape this to our bathroom mirror to remind us every morning of how God’s amazing grace provided a way for us to live with Him forever. The fundamentals of our salvation can be basically described as God’s love intervened as a rescue mission of mercy in order to save those who were hopelessly lost. I Peter 1:3-4 promises, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born-again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus

Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.”

Our busy schedule is filled with distractions and for most of us, it’s exhausting to keep up. As our daily routines weigh us down with stress and frustration, it’s important to be aware of a much higher reality. If we only consider eternity when we attend funerals, we are missing a vital component of our relationship with God that can keep us excited and rejuvenated with His joy and hope. I’m giving the eulogy for my Aunt this week, and it’s truly going to be a celebration as we rejoice that her eternal life is just beginning.

She loved the Lord and always said that spending time alone with Him was never intended to be a last resort but rather a daily privilege. She was always happy and loved to laugh. She had her share of struggles, but we can live in a positive state of mind and stand strong in our faith no matter what trials we are going through as Titus 2:13 reminds us, “Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.”

Do you have a happy place when facing a crisis? In Psalm chapter 91, there is actually a secret place under the shadow of the Almighty where we can be filled with His peace and safety. This awareness of His presence is a state of mind that can be attained for those who enjoy having a personal relationship with Him. God desires to abide in the conscience of His children and this, in turn, allows Him to be our Lord and King. Being attentive to His voice will not come without serious determination. He must be our highest priority or the distractions of this life will slowly turn our eyes away from His promises. Many do not realize that as Christians our allegiance is to King Jesus and our citizenship has been transferred from this world to the spiritual reality of His glorious eternal kingdom. The concept of abandoning our independence has everything to do with trusting His plans for our lives. How much does God love you? How far is the East from the West?

Are CDs a good investment?

Hey Taylor: What are your thoughts on buying CDs? I know a couple of people who Taylor recommend Kovar them, but one of them is my father and I sometimes wonder if his strategies are of this time.

What do you think? — Stan Hey Stan: Someday my kids will be saying the same things about my advice. Your father isn’t entirely off base, though I will say CDs aren’t my top choice for earning returns. Their usefulness somewhat depends on the other assets you have and what you’re looking to do with your money.

Certificates of deposit are really safe, so they’re worth looking at if the goal is to diversify your portfolio with low-risk holdings.

They’re usually insured up to $250,000 and you don’t have to deal with big market fluctuations or rate changes since the investment is relatively short term.

If we’re talking about making more money over time, I think you’re better off putting your funds into a solid, dividendpaying stock. If you stack the two up next to each other, the dividends will likely equal or exceed the interest payments from a CD, and your stock value goes up as the company’s value increases.

As long as you don’t panic and let the shares ride, you’ll have a better shot of beating inflation in the market.

Of course, stock prices go up and down with market volatility.

Your CDs are on firmer ground and should also edge out inflation as long as you’re willing to go with terms upwards of three years. If you don’t have much in the way of liquidity, CDs become

15

July 5, 2021

a little scarier once you start thinking about what terms will get you the best rate. CDs usually give you a better rate than you’ll get with a standard savings account, but you won’t have access to that money for a stretch.

Some people combat the liquidity problem by “laddering” their CDs—buying a one-year term, a two-year term, a three-year term, and on through five years. As each deposit matures, the money then gets rolled into a new fiveyear CD. Eventually, you have multiple longer-term CDs with one maturing each year. It’s a bit of a process, but it does help with accessibility. As long as you have enough available cash, there’s nothing wrong with putting some of it into a CD at a good rate.

While CDs may not be the best cash investing option for some people, it may work well for others. They're not a terrible route by any means! It's all about finding what fits into your financial plan, making sure you're 100% comfortable with your investment opportunities, and understanding where you're putting your money.

Happy investing!

Living with children Will my profession, psychology, ever get it?

Beginning in the 1960s, the psychological mainstream asserted John that nearly all Rosemond child mental health problems were caused by parents who did not allow children to express their feelings freely. The claim was snatched out of the thin air of speculation, as usual. Nonetheless, good parenting became defined as striving always to understand and properly respond to a child’s emotional expressions, also referred to as “helping children get in touch with their feelings.”

We are now more than fifty years into this progressive parenting experiment and child mental health is a train wreck. The evidence strongly suggests that when it comes to parenting matters, most psychologists don’t know what they are talking about. How, otherwise, to explain that (a) the more parents have consumed psychological parenting advice and (b) the more child psychologists, per capita, university graduate school programs have churned out, (c) the worse child mental health has become?

Children are inclined, by nature, to soap opera, meaning their emotional responses to events are generally disproportionate to the actual significance, present or future, of those events. Gaining the ability to think straight – the essence of good mental health – requires restraining the natural inclination toward allowing one’s emotions to drive one’s behavior.

That restraint requires proper training. For a child, it requires parents who are willing to tell him that he’s making emotional mountains out of molehills, that his feelings are not going to dictate their decisions, and even that his preoccupation with his feelings is immature and counterproductive.

But all too many of today’s parents are intimidated by and even

afraid of their children’s emotions. They host never-ending parent-child conversations about feelings. They allow their children’s feelings to determine their decisions. And in the process of all this supposedly good parenting, their children become increasingly captive to unbridled emotion. Many of these same kids end up in the offices of people who represent the source of the problem, talking about – yep, you guessed it – their feelings.

The Children’s Book Association has released a list of books psychologists recommend for children. They include one that helps children deal with stress and anxiety by “uncovering their emotions,” another that teaches kids how to get in touch with being scared, sad, and angry, and yet another that helps young readers become more mindful, whatever that means.

In reading the top ten psychologist-recommended books for children, I got back in touch with my unresolved yearning for the sort of books I read as a child and that my mother read to me: books that featured heroes battling dragons and children getting the best of witches and other variations on the universal struggle between good and evil. Instead of inspiring self-absorption, the books of my childhood inspired flights of imagination. Instead of putting me in touch with my feelings, these books taught me that when all is said and done, a life well led is all about the strength of one’s character.

Notwithstanding the alluring myths of progressivism, some things never change, nor should they.

Howe’s That (Continued from page 1)

great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” *** “Paper is poverty...it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.” - Thomas Jefferson. *** “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls energy can control continents; who controls money controls the world.” - Henry Kissinger. *** “I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.” - Thomas Jefferson. *** “The Federal Reserve is a cartel made up of the major banks in America and they are the ones that are running the show. Not the federal government.” - G. Edward Griffin. *** The government claims the power to seize all financial instruments: currency, gold, silver, and everything else if they deem an emergency exists.—Treasury Department Letter, August 12, 2005. *** “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world

government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.” - David Rockefeller. *** “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” - Henry Ford. *** And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.—Revelations 13:1617. *** “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” - From the Declaration of Independence. Are we there yet? America 2.0? 1776 Again?

Force Congress to use their legal authority to shut down the Federal Reserve and stop the theft of the American people’s labor and wealth. Do not support any political candidate unless they sign an affidavit agreeing to close down the Federal Reserve and stop world government. Members of the military and law enforcement swore an oath to defend the American Constitution, not to promote world government. Honor thy oath. Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being good Democrats. Stop being good Republicans. Start being good Americans. And when the media starts telling you the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. The Federal Reserve System is trying to save itself. Squash it. It’s time to either evolve or perish.

be right - they didn't; hence, they acted upon it illegally before they were authorized to do so. They also violated their own state constitution by failing to read the resolution on three different days as prescribed by Article II, Section 18. These state constitutional violations make their approval of the amendment null and void. Their approval is and was invalid, and it brings the number of approving states down to 35, one less than required for ratification.

Texas and Louisiana violated provisions in their state constitutions prohibiting the legislatures from empowering the federal government with any additional taxing authority. Now the number is down to 33.

Twelve other states, besides Tennessee, violated provisions in their constitutions requiring that a bill be read on three different days before voting on it. This is not a trivial requirement. It allows for a cooling off period; it enables members who may be absent one day to be present on another; it allows for a better familiarity with, and understanding of, the measure under consideration, since some members may not always read a bill or resolution before voting on it (believe it or not.). States violating this procedure were: Mississippi, Ohio, Arkansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, West Virginia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Colorado, and Illinois. Now the number is reduced to 21 states legally ratifying the amendment.

When Secretary Knox transmitted the proposed amendment to the states, official certified and sealed copies were sent. Likewise, when state results were returned to Knox, it was required that the documents, including the resolution that was actually approved, be properly certified, signed, and sealed by the appropriate official (s). This is no more than any ordinary citizen has to do in filing any legal document, so that its authenticity is assured; otherwise, it is not acceptable and is meaningless. How much more important it is to authenticate a constitutional amendment. Yet a number of states did not do this, returning The People's Liberation Army of China is building more than 100 new mines for intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Gansu Desert as part of a significant expansion of Beijing's nuclear capabilities. *** Federal law enforcement agencies are secretly monitoring thousands of US citizens with the help of Microsoft, according to congressional testimony given on Wednesday by a senior executive of the technology company. *** Thursday it became known that

uncertified, unsigned, and/or unsealed copies, and did not rectify their negligence even after being reminded and warned by Knox.

The most egregious offenders were Ohio, California, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Minnesota which did not send any copy at all, so Knox could not have known what they even voted on.

Since four of these states were already disqualified above, California is now subtracted from the list of valid approvals, reducing it to 20.

These last five states, along with Kentucky and Oklahoma, have particularly strong implications with regard to the fraud charge against Knox, in that he cannot be excused for not knowing they shouldn't have been counted. Why was he in such a hurry? Why did he not demand that they send proper documentation? They never did.

Further review would make the list dwindle down much more, but with the number down to 20, sixteen fewer than required, this is a suitable place to rest, without getting into the matter of several states whose constitutions limited the taxing authority of their legislatures, which could not give to the federal govern authority they did not have.

The results from the six states Knox had not heard from at the time he made his proclamation do not affect the conclusion that the amendment was not legally ratified. Of those six: two (Virginia and Pennsylvania) he never did hear from, because they ignored the proposed amendment; Florida rejected it; two others (Vermont and Massachusetts) had rejected it much earlier by recorded votes, but, strangely, submitted to the Secretary within a few days of his ratification proclamation that they had passed it (without recorded votes); West Virginia had purportedly approved it at the end of January 1913, but its notification had not yet been received (remember that West Virginia had violated its own constitution, as noted above).

According to CNN, the teams will consist of representatives of the CDC, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Officials will focus on communities with low vaccination rates, since Biden's goal of 70% vaccination by July 4 is not being met. At the moment, only 47.2% of Americans are fully vaccinat-
