The House Special Committee on Immigration Reform commissioned to study the current status of legal and illegal immigration in Missouri will remain unprepared to effectively comprehend and intelligently act on immigration issues affecting Missouri and our nation if it fails to consider the globalist worldview. The United Nations’ manifold bodies, organs, actors and stakeholders continuously promulgate programmes of action that imperil the sovereignty of nations and advance their brotherhood of man. These global initiatives require for implementation the voluntary compliance of states, and, contrary to the best interests of the people of our nation, the federal government is consistently a signatory to the UN agenda. Acquisition by The House Special Committee on Immigration Reform of the most comprehensive understanding of the issues before them can be obtained by the study of two documents prepared for and available from the UN. These are:
Agenda 21: Programme of Action for Sustainable Development, The final text of agreements negotiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) 3-14 June 1992, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. United Nations Publications: Sales No. E.93.I.11 [available at unp.un.org], ISBN 92-1-100509-4.
Compendium
of Recommendations on International Migration and Development: The
United Nations Development Agenda and the Global Commission on International
Migration Compared, United Nations 2006. United Nations Publications:
Sales No. E.06.XII.7 [available at unp.un.org], ISBN 92-1-151422-3.
Additional information on international
migration promulgated by the UN can be accessed on the world wide web
site of the Population Division at www.unpoulation.org . The House Special Committee
on Immigration Reform would be well advised to consider the Council
of Foreign Relations’ publication, Building a North American Community,
by Robert Pastor, by visiting http://www.cfr.org/publication
The House Special Committee on Immigration Reform fails to represent Missourians when it assumes “that legislating immigration is largely a federal issue.” There is no issue that can legitimately be considered “a federal issue” that does not rise from the people, then county, then state, and lastly, the union of states. Any action taken by the federal government that is not in harmony with the states must be challenged, and when deemed necessary for the good of the union, withdrawn. Our founders wrote well when they stated that governments are instituted among men to secure life, liberty and property, and warned that when such government abuses its constitutionally authorized power, the people shall retain the right to throw off the chains of tyranny and begin anew.

There can only be one form
of immigration, and that is legal immigration. This must
be the Committee’s scope of consideration. Any individual found
present on the land or waters of the states and/or within the boundaries
of the jurisdiction of the United States, whose presence is not in compliance
with law, is violating law, and subject to arrest, prosecution, imprisonment
or deportation. Would it not be consistent to specify that any
individual or legal person, whether public or private, that aids, abets
or encourages aliens to violate our immigration law may expect no better
consideration?
Let me here answer your two first 2007 Legislative Survey questions:
Regarding question No.1:
Words have meanings and their meanings are important. One has
either become enrolled in our lawful immigration process, or has not.
There can be no “illegal immigrant.” This implied individual is
engaged in unlawful activity and can best be described as one acting
with criminal intent, or perhaps, one alleged to be in violation of
our immigration law. What is good for the goose is good for the
gander. Certainly businesses that aid and abet these criminal
activities merit prosecution, but let us broaden the scope to include
the federal government that refuses to secure our borders and ports
of entry; state and local governments that continue to encourage illegal
aliens to violate immigration policy, rewarding the criminal with aid
doled out from public coffers; and public education institutions that
harbor minors engaged in the criminal violation of immigration law—where
shall one stop?
Regarding question No.2:
The greater question that must be asked is “How can we in Missouri,
and in general the Union, discern between individuals lawfully present
and those violating our immigration laws?” Also, why divide
the question between those above or below 19 years of age? Address
question No.1 aggressively, enforce the legislative outcome and question
No. 2 becomes moot, unless the esoteric aim is simply the implementation
of an international human identification and tracking system.
Identification requirements proposed to deal with our thirty million
illegal aliens impact the liberty of the 390 million We the People,
and that unjustly imposed. Are we simply applying thesis
> antithesis > synthesis, playing with Hegel’s
dialectic?
Unless, and until, the House Special Committee on Immigration Reform commissioned to study the current status of “legal and illegal immigration” in Missouri addresses the global agenda as defined by the United Nations systemme, its proposed reforms will appear to all knowledgeable of the topic as little more than Band-Aids applied to a sucking chest wound as the body politic collapses first to its knees, and finally flat upon it’s face—the triumph of collectivism over the individual.
National Animal Identification
System—State Participation. See question No. 2 above.
First you chip the animals and then you chip the people. Was it
Henry Kissinger that stated that our military personnel were “stupid,
dumb animals fit for slaughter?” A petition circulated by the
Ozark Property Rights Congress Far Southwest Chapter during 2006 gathered
over 700 signatures opposing state participation in the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS). On the ground, those opposed to NAIS outnumbered
those in favor by far more than a 2/3 majority. Again, failing
to comprehend the United Nations global initiatives enumerated in
Agenda 21, inter alia, and ascribing NAIS to the federal
government belies the larger agenda.
Let me here answer your third 2007 Legislative Survey question:
Not only should this measure have been enacted during the 2006 legislative session, it’s subsequent delay should prompt a 2007 House investigation to expose those in its number that have personally received cash contributions and other consideration from governmental and non-governmental sources to impede the prohibition of the NAIS in the face of overwhelming public and scientific testimony opposing the system.
Offering Students in Failing
School Districts a Choice. The survey acknowledges that “failing
school districts” exist, what it fails to recognize is the triumphant
success of the “public fool” system in its deliberate dumbing down
of not only students in Missouri, but throughout America.
Article IX, Section 1(a)
of the 1945 CONSTITUTION (Revised 1999) of the STATE OF MISSOURI, states
“A general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence being essential
to the preservation of the rights and liberties of the people, the general
assembly shall establish and maintain free public schools for the gratuitous
instruction of all persons in this state within ages not in excess of
twenty-one years as prescribed by law.”
Vladimir I. Lenin could not have phrased this bit of Orwellian double-speak any finer. Public education is the single largest piece of the Missourian tax-pie. Free public schools—NOT! “A general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence?” Webster’s defines diffuse by saying: to pour in different directions, to spread out; not concentrated; hence, using more words than are needed; long winded; wordy. And, continues by defining diffusion as a diffusing or being diffused; spreading; dissemination: as, the diffusion of cultural patterns; the intermingling of the molecules of two or more substances; a reflection, as of light, from an irregular substance. To the electrical engineer a diffuser is any device that serves to break up a concentrated source of light. In heating and ventilating systems diffusers break and redirect the flow of air. Physics demands that the diffuser diminish both the brilliance of the light and the velocity of air moved in these examples. We may expect similar diminution when considering the “general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence.”
Page 4
At the risk of diffusing the
topic, Webster defines gratuitous this way: “given or received
without charge or payment; without obligation; free.” And, continues:
“without cause or justification; uncalled for.” Whosoever
then among you that is without sin, cast the first stone. Having
begun upon a faulty premise, logic requires a false conclusion.
Let me here answer your fourth and fifth 2007 Legislative Survey questions:
The issue is the existence
of “failing public school districts.” A greater work is required
to solve the problem. If one fails to grasp and correctly state
the problem, how can one expect to find the appropriate solution?
To twist a phrase made by Bill Clinton, let me say that the problem
“is” curriculum, not bricks and mortar, “stupid.”
Again, to fully comprehend the magnitude of the problem one must return
to the United Nations and its organ: the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization—UNESCO.
Perhaps the most rapid track
to come to the knowledge of the truth of this issue would be to require
the state Board of Education, all members of the Missouri general assembly,
together with all superintendents of schools, all sitting school board
members and all school principals to read the Deliberate Dumbing
Down of America, http://deliberatedumbingdown
Any and all school districts failing in the minds of its patrons (those tax paying persons residing within school district bounds) to deliver a general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence to its enrolled students should cease to receive public funds. Education is a big business, sometimes businesses fail and must be reorganized, or simply cease to exist.
Tax Deductions for Long-Term
Health Insurance. Here, the survey text neither supports nor
leads to the questions posed as they may relate to “Tax Deductions
for Long-Term Health Insurance”.
I answer your sixth, seventh and eighth 2007 Legislative Survey questions:
Page 5
Socialism is much like pregnancy. One can’t be a little bit pregnant. Socialized health care is a recipe for disaster. Billions for doctors, big-pharma and administrators, result only in the diminishing quality of health care for those in need, and escalating debt for the people. This is a lose-lose situation and must end.
Eliminate pension and retirement
taxes. The survey text continues, stating: “Seniors face
a serious challenge of providing for their own needs as the money they
spent many years earning is being taxed away from them. This challenge
is multiplied by the rising cost of living and inflation, etc.”
The challenge facing all Americans,
including Missourians, when providing for their needs is the combination
of heavy progressive income taxes, taxes on land and property, and the
fractional reserve banking system used by the Federal Reserve Bank,
which is neither federal nor has any reserve. Inflation is a function
of the quantity of money in circulation at any given time, which can
be seen by a rising cost of living, yet must be understood as a decline
in the money’s value. In a fiat monetary system where the unit
of measure is a dollar backed by thin air such as we have in
America since Richard Nixon took the US off the gold standard in the
1970’s, and where, as today, the Federal Reserve has concealed the
amount of money in circulation (M3) from the generally dumbed down
sheeple, no action step is available to Missouri’s general assembly
to relieve the burden of the falling value of the dollar as it loses
its status as the world’s reserve currency.
Consider these planks of the Communist Manifesto in light of current events:
Now I answer your ninth, 2007 Legislative Survey question:
The above referenced 1945 Constitution was amended November 5, 1968 to include “Section 4(d). Income tax laws, may incorporate federal laws by reference—rates, how set.—In enacting any law imposing a tax on or measured by income, the general assembly may define income by reference to provisions of the laws of the United States as they may be or become effective at any time or from time to time, whether retrospective or prospective in their
Page 6
operation.” This begs the question, where in the laws of the United States are pensioners and retirees, or anyone, required to file and pay a tax on the product of their labor?—or as we Missourians say—show me the law!
Right to Work.
No one has a “right to work.” A “right” implies a “duty.”
It is no one’s “duty” to work. In The Second Epistle
of Paul to the Thessalonians we read at 3:10 “For even when we
were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither
should he eat.” And, from the Communist Manifesto, the eighth
plank: “Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of Industrial
armies, especially for agriculture.”
Similarly, no one is forced
to either join a union or abstain from union affiliation. Without
getting mired in the law of contracts suffice it to say that if an employer
contracts with a union to provide labor, the discussion resides with
employer and union. Without further belaboring the Positivist,
Socialist, Communist and Capitalist origins of trade unions, or engaging
in a lengthy discussion of Feudalism and the dissolution of monarchies
following the Reformation, let us here simply recall the Marxist slogan,
“Workers of the World, Unite!”
The answer to your tenth, 2007 Legislative Survey question:
A man’s home, it is said, is his castle. In his castle, his is the first word sought and last word heard. If you don’t like the rules, don’t dine in the castle, go on your way and live in peace.
Remove the $500 Loss Limit.
Gambling is the occupation of fools and losers. “There is a
sucker born every minute,” said P.T. Barnum. That gambling and
lotteries is not only permitted, but also participated in by the State
of Missouri makes a mockery of our state motto: salus populi suprema
lex esto! That the state could look forward to increased revenue
by removing the loss limit within its regulated gaming houses is both
an abomination and disgrace.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that their liberties are the gift of God? Are they not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

And, the answer to your eleventh, 2007 Legislative Survey question:
May the Creator of the Universe forgive this once moral, Protestant nation for having turned its feet from the narrow way and the straight gate, to go a-whoring on the broad path, which leads to destruction.
Voter ID. Once
again the true issue is occulted, hidden below the surface of this issue.
The true issue is the implementation of an international human identification
and tracking system as discussed previously and in this instance disguised
as a Voter ID.
In each county of Missouri
the County Clerk is the election authority tasked with registering all
people offering to vote in elections, the ongoing maintenance and verification
of voter registration lists, canvassing said list(s) periodically, and
mailing voter registration cards, sample ballots, absentee ballots,
among other duties.
The above referenced 1945 Constitution
amended the Constitution of 1875, Art. II, Section 9, and reads at Art.
I, “Section 25. Elections and right of suffrage.—That
all elections shall be free and open; and no power, civil or military,
shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right
of suffrage.” It should be immediately obvious that no provision
is made to restrict suffrage to only those possessing a “government-issued”
form of identification.
In Art. VIII, Suffrage and
Elections, here as amended, we read at “Section 2. Qualification
of voters—disqualification.—All citizens of the United States,
including occupants of soldiers’ and sailors’ homes, over the age
of eighteen who are residents of this state and of the political subdivision
in which they offer to vote are entitled to vote at all elections by
the people, if the election is one for which registration is required,
if they are registered within the time prescribed by law, or if the
election is one for which registration is not required, if they have
been residents of the political subdivision in which they offer to vote
for thirty days next preceding the election for which they offer to
vote: Provided however, no person who has a guardian of his or her estate
. . . and no person who is involuntarily confined in a mental institution
. . . shall be entitled to vote, and persons convicted of felony, or
crime connected with the exercise of the right of suffrage may be excluded
by law from voting.” Once again we find no provision to allow
or deny suffrage in Missouri to possessors of a “government-issued”
form of identification.
If the general assembly desires
to deny suffrage to any not in possession of a specified form of identification,
would it not be appropriate to present the program in the form of a
constitutional amendment?
And, while the general assembly is thus occupied, would it not also be appropriate to amend
Page 10
Article VIII, which reads at
“Section 3. Methods of voting—secrecy of ballot—exceptions.—All
elections by the people shall be by ballot or by mechanical means prescribed
by law.” It took a constitutional amendment in 1945 to add the
words “or by mechanical means” to allow the use of voting machines,
should it not then require a constitutional amendment to add the words
“or by electronic means” to allow the use of electronic scanners
and touch screen voting equipment when implementing the provisions of
the Help America Vote Act of 2000 in Missouri?
Finally, the people of Missouri
and the several states are once again being asked to pay the expense
and sacrifice yet another liberty to accommodate in our lands the presence
of some thirty million illegal aliens. Any of these criminals
caught voting or attempting to vote would be subject to Art. VIII, Section
2. “. . . persons convicted of felony, or crime connected with
the exercise of the right of suffrage may be excluded from voting.”
The answer to your twelfth and final, 2007 Legislative Survey question:
As globalism transitions from
global to local, We the People must become Vocal Local,
blocking the collectivist dream for a New World Order and a New World
Religion.
