Cosmic Laws by Triaka

Cosmic Laws are powerful energies of unknown quantity perceived byhumans through direct observation, meditation/contemplation, or revelation. While the Law of Gravity is dense, measureable, and readily understood, by contrast the great Law of Love is subtle and in a broad sense surpasses all understanding. In any case, the Laws of the cosmos provide a guidance system for an optimum human experience. There are several things to be aware of about the cosmos and its Laws;

Energy is the basis of all existence and is knowing of all things in the universe.

Energy includes portions that are experiencing different levels or dimensions of consciousness.

All portions of consciousness are in continuous interaction in the oneness of energy.

The "soul" is a portion that chooses to experience the density of human embodiment.

Soul consciousness often encounters difficulty in shifting the human intellect from its primary focus on the five survival senses of physical life in order to integrate its wisdom.

Once integrated by the soul, human consciousness recognizes how energy in the form of Cosmic Laws works to create "Heaven on Earth".

Awakened humans understand their energy connectedness with all things,material and non-material, animate and inanimate, and the desireabilityof being in harmony with all life. It's the wisdom of their soul.

The bottom line is, human institutions, as well as individuals, will betruly effective in a positive way only when they are in harmony with the Cosmic Laws. It is for this reason an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION is being brought forward for awakened government.

Cosmic Law - Attraction

This Law is a primary tool for the Soul to master physical life on the Earth plane. It ensures that all conditions and situations that the Soul desires for eventually mastering material reality are drawn to the attention of the human intellect by virtue of the oneness of universe energy.

The Law of Attraction is not understood by a five-sensory intellect unintegrated by the wisdom of the Soul, and this has been reflected in shortcomings in the principles, policies and practices of human institutions such as government, slowing the evolution of human consciousness and achievement.

Experiences perceived as "bad" by the survival-focused intellect are viewed by the multi-dimensional Soul Mind as "lessons to be learned". While the unintegrated intellect believes humans are "victims" of negative situations in the material world, the Soul knows that humans are co creators of material reality and negative situations fuel positive solutions.

Human government attempts to "rescue" those who, at the Soul level of awareness, understand the negative-positive lessons of worldly existence under Cosmic Laws and would choose not to be interfered with. A stubborn intellect may require exceptionally negative and repeated lessons to break onto positive levels to overcome self-defeat. This has been witnessed particularly in "miraculous" recoveries from some physical disorders.

It's a major lesson to understand that putting a negative, rather than a positive interpretation on any situation, causes disorders in the physical body. Just as a blood clot can block the flow of the vital fluid and cause a heart attack, so can a blockage of negative thought cause disorder in muscles, tissues, and cells. Energy needs to flow freely. Whether a situation is personal, local, regional, national, worldwide or extraterrestrial, negative interpretation can cause a physical disruption of energy in some way.

Such is the Law of Attraction to the power of mind energy. A decision to let go of negativity and "let God" is a handy release valve until one accepts personal responsibility for the co-creating of conditions, and knows that in the long term, "every experience is positive".

What is true of the microcosm, is true of the macrocosm. Negative interpretation of any event can cause physical disorders from personalto planetary, and beyond. Potency of the Law of Attraction throughout the universe energy is such that all life is affected.

An unintegrated intellect will attract repeated lessons until it understands that the material brain is to integrate the universal mind of the Soul for an optimum human experience. It's the Law.

Mastering the power of co-creating material reality for positive ends means consciously utilizing the Soul Mind to influence matter, and the Law produces sometimes harsh lessons needed to accomplish the feat. Souls that experience impairment or loss of the human body, for example, have attracted to the human intellect the lesson of overcoming such conditions with what is simply termed "mind over matter". It may require more than one lifetime, but the power to influence all material things, even Earth changes and weather conditions, has always been available.

By the Law of Attraction, the human intellect eventually listens to the wisdom of the Soul and, hence, everything from physical wellness and abundance, to planetary harmony and Heaven on Earth is mastered.

The bottom line is, Cosmic Law is the supreme law of the universe, and a government absent of this Soul wisdom attracts lessons as evidenced here by the advancement of an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals.

Cosmic Law - Balance

This Law suggests that the historic human government structure based on superior-inferior classes of people will ultimately fail as a result of its imbalance, and as individuals awaken to the timeless wisdom of their soul;

"Slavery, serfdom, and all forms of bondage are to disappear."

As shown in other Cosmic Laws, the call of the soul is freedom, but at the start of the 21st century, enslavement to a ruling class of money controllers and manipulators by means of government force was common everywhere. In both democratic majority and oligarchical or otherwise minority governments, economic enslavement occured as most people remained uninformed about how money and central banking worked. The result was unbalanced some-win-and-some-lose government.

Cosmic Law suggests that government is to provide a system for balance in which the individual differences of free souls may be adjudicated fairly and equally, not for just the "greatest good", which is yet another ruling class, but for the "highest good of ALL".

Importantly, the Law of Balance also suggests that all individuals share equally in the lawmaking process of government;

"Truly civilized government is that which is balanced by individual franchise."

Each person is thus a legislator, and the government is a balanced direct democracy.

The fact that some people may not be well informed on proposed legislation is not a disqualifier under Cosmic Law. At the founding of the U.S., Thomas Jefferson touched on the matter of informing the people at-large;

"...if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome direction, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion."

The bottom line is, unbalanced governing power has historically spelled dissent and rebellion, and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, will bring true equity, and provide full information.

Cosmic Law - Cause & Effect

The most important lesson involving human conduct and interaction, from individuals to governments, is seen in the Cosmic Law of Cause & Effect, or karma. Knowing how the Law works helps to understand the means to achieve inner and outer peace, and why governments need to be "reconstituted".

The lesson begins with the understanding that the universe is a SEA OF ENERGY that can be either calm or stormy, depending on how it's used. And science has shown how this field of energy works;

"For every action there is equal and opposite reaction."

It's the law, and it was expressed in spiritual teachings long ago;

"Be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

A modern addendum is "don't get even, get smart".

Governments have continued from antiquity the practice of initiating physical force to control people, contrary to timeless wisdom;

"You must not seek to promugate truth nor to establish righteousness by the power of civil governments or by the enaction of secular laws. You must always labor to PERSUADE human minds but you must never dare to compel them."

For government, the Cosmic Law of Cause & Effect, or karma, means whatsoever the collective group would have others do to them, the group should do to others, commonly known as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". The Cause of Initiating physical force produces in-kind Effects, or karma, at some point in time. It could be immediate or far in the future.

Every human thought, word and deed is a Cause that sets off a wave of energy throughout the universe, creating calm and desireable, or stormy and undesireable Effects. Every Cause, whether individual or collectively by government, results in an Effect, from the microcosm to the macrocosm.

In the 1997 edition of his book "Rising Out of Chaos", spiritual leader Simon Peter Fuller emphasized the importance of living in harmony with the Law;

"We are totally responsible for our every thought, word and deed while on Earth, and karma, both positive and negative, ensures that we re- balance all the energy or matter (so- called sin) we have ever disturbed."

Deepak Chopra, a leader in mind-body medicine, identified the issue in his 1993 book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success";

"...no debt in the universe ever goes unpaid. There is a perfect accounting system in this universe, and everything is a constant `to and fro' exchange of energy."

It's the Law for all human action in government, business, labor, education, etc., as well as individually.

Pain may be the Effect of a Cause and a karmic lesson to learn. Undesireable Effects are karmic reminders that at some time and some place, there was a thought, word or deed that Caused a wave of undesireable energy. To re-balance and calm the energy requires thoughts, words and deeds of a positive nature, the most powerful of which are unconditional love, forgiveness and compassion.

The Cosmic Law of Cause & Effect requires that governments holding to the karmically-incorrect practice of initiating physical force, or violence of any kind, be RECONSTITUTED with positive principles, policies and practices in harmony with the higher Law, a new way of looking at government. Important among them is "voluntary subscripton" to government services, an essential aspect for peace on Earth.

Being consciously unaware of having Caused negative energies that must be re-balanced, humans generally regard themselves as "victims" of some undesireable Effect, but somewhere in the individual or collective history there was a Cause, possibly during past incarnations. This may be better understood by reversing the words of the Law;

"For every Effect, there is a Cause."

There are only Effects of Causes and Causes with Effects.

Karmic debt does not die when the physical body expires. The eternal soul learns from its short human experience and seeks further opportunity to return in accordance with the Cosmic Law of Reincarnation, revealed in the restored text of Revelation III;

"All will come upon the earth a hundred, hundred times, and still will the spirit be raised by the Father." (Ch.6:11)

The text had been eliminated from Christian teachings several centuries after Jesus' time, but reappeared with other hidden revelations in 1990, and was later published in Simon Peter Fuller's book.

Learning the Causes of negative Effects may require examining experiences of prior times. The soul knows of these times and can bring them forward to human consciousness when the five-sensory intellect allows integration by the soul. However, many individuals intellectually block the process, and some even deny the soul's existence. An egocentric attitude seriously slows human progress.

Humans discover that consciously, or unconsiously, they have been the Cause of their own negative Effects, but as the karmic debt is paid with positive thoughts, words and deeds, and the disturbed universe energy field is calmed, the world stage is set for the ultimate experience - Heaven on Earth,

With regard to government, the bottom line is every thought to be projected in government Principles, every word to be carried out in government Policies, and every deed to be carried out in government Practices, must be assessed for its karmic implications. And this requires an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Emotion

While the mind is the engine for creating reality, its fuel is emotion-energy.

As the mind becomes focused on an objective, emotion is the energy that gets it there at a speed determined by its strength. Low intensity emotion brings slower and unrefined results, while high intensity emotion produces quicker and more definitive results. It's the Law.

It's an important Law in terms of awakening people and changing earthly institutions such as government, which has been the physical force behind wars, genocide, torture, tyranny, and hundreds of other negative scenarios over many centuries for a literal hell on Earth for hundreds-of-millions of people.

Emotion is that part of the physiological makeup of humans that involves feeling or sensibility. If an emotion is negative, such as anger, hate, or revenge, it manifests in physical disturbances internally to the body and externally to the environment through the oneness of all life in the Universe Energy Field. Conversely, positive emotion-energy is healing to all.

Offering unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness intellectually, with an absence of emotional fuel to drive it as if only mouthing the words, has little effect, but genuinely strong emotion for such feelings, can quickly transform the external world, as well as an individuals internal world.

Governments rise and fall on emotion-energy. Wars have been won or lost on the basis of how much emotional fuel either side could gather. The materially inferior force of North Vietnam, for example, overcame the world's nuclear giant in the 1970's as American emotional energy ebbed like an ocean tide.

National anthems, pledges of allegiance, patriotic speeches, flags, parades, and various other techniques have been used historically by governments to stir emotional support for even destructive policies, but now with the focus of millions of positive minds united by new technology, as well as by nonmaterial means, strong emotion-energy facilitates dramatic governmental changes in the new millennium.

The bottom line is, enlightened government has strong and long-lasting emotional support by standing on High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, and it is for these reasons that an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe is being advanced.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Godlikeness

Divine Presence and Power indwells all humans in the form of the spirit-born soul, and human institutions such as government are to reflect this reality.

Godlikeness has been told in countless sacred teachings of both East and West, with the Bible among the most prominent;

"And God created man in his own image." (Genesis 1:27)

"The kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21)

"I said you are gods." (John 10:34)

"There is one body and one Spirit... one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all." (Ephesians 4:4-6)

"He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do..." (John 14:12)

"You therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

Human Godlikeness calls for integration of a survival-dominated intellect with the universe wisdom of the soul. The integrated intellect then balances its five-sensory information with the multi dimensional "knowing" of the soul.

An unfailing evolutionary unveiling process guarantees that humans "shall be perfect" in this manner. An immediate benefit is in giving unconditional love, forgiveness and compassion for all life which is then returned in-kind under the Cosmic Law of Cause & Effect, or karma.

The bottom line is, the Law of Godlikeness suggests individual empowerment in terms of external government by means of an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION.

Cosmic Law - Guidance

Throughout recorded history, most humans have been focused on the material world, developing means of mass physical comfort on one hand, and mass physical destruction on the other. These objectives, of course, produced governmental, educational, social and even religious institutions that enhanced, or at least acquiesced to the mass consciousness.

The learned lessons of external world history are now helping to fuel a balance with the eternal "knowing" of the internal world. In other words, human maturity is occuring as the materially-focused intellect is being integrated by the wisdom of the multi-dimensional Spirit-born soul.

Unification of the nonmaterial soul and material body finally creates a "whole" human being, and this, in turn, leads to establishing holistic institutions, including government, that move beyond the darkness of the past. The new consciousness sees truth in a sacred teaching; (Humans) "cannot live by bread alone."

The human intellect, without sustenance and wisdom from the soul, is devoid of purpose aside from a mundane world of material existence that ends in "death".

As the shifting material world consciousnes is infused with nonmaterial reality, the maturing intellect becomes aware of Cosmic Laws and reflects "cosmic consciousness". Primarily, this is the realization that the soul-incarnate is immortal with Godlike powers in the endless "Frontier of Infinity".

In the soul's journey into the density of the human experience, the Cosmic Law of Guidance is followed to reach its goal of creating "Heaven on Earth", utilizing some empowering resources;

Meditation - contact with the Source-Of All-That-Is can be instantaneous, with relaxed focus determining receptivity and understanding.

Prayer - assistance from Angelic realms, Spirit Beings of Light, Ascended Masters, and the Source-Of-All-That-Is may be requested (see Law of Petition).

Heart - the love center where conscience, the faculty of determining right and wrong, are connected to all things for direction.

Intuition - being aware of immediate cognition, or "knowing" without rational processes, that includes soul wisdom and all levels of universe consciousness.

The bottom line is, harmony with the Cosmic Law of Guidance makes feasible peace and goodwill on Earth, and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION for government helps facilitate it.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Individuality

The collective whole of humanity is comprised of individuals distinct from one another by such obvious and easily measured characteristics as fingerprints and voiceprints. Each presents something unique to earthly society, and the whole of creation, by virtue of the oneness of universe energy.

Springing from the Cosmic Law of Individuality is the important Philosophy of Individuality with its timeless wisdom;

"The original Spirit endowment of individual minds, souls and bodies is to be fully recognized and upheld."

The Philosophy holds that each soul has its own rational mind purpose for being in the human body and, as such, has "inherent rights of individualized expression‎" in relation to external human governing principles, policies, programs and practices.

Attempts to force diverse souls into act-alike restrictive human government molds, standardized and dogmatized, including socialism, communism, fascism and capitalism, is contrary to the Law. Individuals may freely choose to adhere to groupings of their liking, but to impose act-alike systems on unwilling subjects is to enslave and deprive the soul of its individual uniqueness and free choice.

For a system to be stable over the long term it must accomodate individuality, including even the right to be a non-participant. Laws of "protective/reactive" force replace "initiation" of force, leaving those participating in the collective system still intact.

Individual "thought prints" are denied in existing top-down governental molds, resulting in ongoing dissension, confrontation and struggle for material emergence, self-expression‎, and power. Throughout recorded history, individuality has slowly gained a degree of constitutional expression‎ in the form of "unalienable rights" and "bill of rights", but even "representative" governments still lack in fully honoring individual thought prints, and such governments will either experience evolutionary change of some kind or collapse. It's the Law.

Unalienable rights honoring the Cosmic Law of Individuality extend beyond any currently practiced;

The right to vote on all matters governing oneself,

The right to designate one's tax percentage to specific programs. This translates to (1) individuals voting directly on the laws of a government, and (2) individuals determining government programs they choose to support with their taxes. The end product is a "service form of government", from bottom up, in harmony with the Cosmic Law.

The Philosophy of Individuality recognizes that an individual "owns" oneself, and may do to or for oneself what one chooses, so long as it does not infringe on the equal rights of others. By extension, an individual owns that which has been justly acquired, with timeless wisdom setting forth the means of determining what is "just";

"The prime purpose of government is the fair balancing and adjudicating of individual differences."

Government's role in a cosmically-correct society is not to forcefully impose the will of either a majority or minority of people, but to provide equal justice for all.

Ultimately, the Philosophy of Individuality suggests the unveiling of one's "I AM" presence, and becoming self-governing;

"He who rules his own Self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of an individuals moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development."

The bottom line is, individuals are empowered by the Cosmic Law of Individuality to be singularly important, and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION is to help manifest this reality.

Cosmic Law - Light

Space is not empty. The universe provides crucial Light particles from the sun, a real substance with weight and pressure, for the growth of living things. But Light is also much more. Light energy provides humans with the means of eliminating all "darkness in the world" by way of the oneness of the Universe Energy Field.

Light will always defeat darkness by revealing information not previously seen, and it's this force that empowers humans. It's the Law.

What is known as the Technology of Light is the intentional and strong focus of this powerful energy to specific targets. It may be directed anywhere that a negative situation is perceived to advance enLIGHTenment. The Light of information may be focused on "dark" minds in important positions of earthly power who may then "change" their minds. The technology is often used to assist open minds for personal wellness and other benefits. Application of Light can infuse all consciousness for change.

Timeless wisdom provides background;

"Darkness is a lack of information that results in enslavement to fear, and fear manifests in disharmony in the physical world."

In terms of human government, fearful uninformed minds are dependent and sometimes even addicted to earthly power, while minds in harmony with the information revealed by Light, such as the Cosmic Laws, are self-empowered, self-sufficient, and self-governing. Illumination "frees the slaves".

The fear of "dark forces" and "evil" spirits has led many into personal disempowerment, but the restored text of Revelation III, the Third Book of the Apocalypse, sheds the Light of logic on the subject;

"If you know not the darkness, how can you understand the light? If there was only light, how could you choose that which is sacred, for only in the darkness can you see the sacred light."

The information contained in Chapter 3, Verses 9-10, was brought to Light in "Rising Out of Chaos" (1997) by Simon Peter Fuller.

With such information, and understanding the human power contained in the Technology of Light under Cosmic Law, fear is baseless.

The bottom line is, as surely as the dark of night is followed by the Light of day, so the darkness of past ages will be succeeded by the beauty of enLIGHTened ages, and governments on the planet will work with the Technology of Light for peace. It's for these reasons that an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION, in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, is being advanced.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Living Truth

Truth is defined in the dictionary as "conformity to fact", but earth-bound science continually changes its old facts upon discovery of new ones. Further complicating scientific "truth", dictionary editors refer to a "kind of drift in language that produces new forms and new meangings", so the fact of a word definition may be changed over time, eliminating the previous "fact". Only "change" seems to remain a fact and, therefore, a "living" truth.

Facts are gathered by the intellect to gain at least limited knowledge, while truth is a living experience which transcends time and material levels. Timeless wisdom explains the distinction;

"Knowledge deals with temporary facts, truth deals with reality values."

Just as scientific "truth" changed when the microscope and telescope were developed, so the five-sensory intellectual "truth" changes when it discovers its Spirit-born soul and allows integration with the soul's multi-dimensional wisdom. From the moment of soul unification, the path is made clear;

"The Spirit of truth guides you into all truth, surviving all challenges along the way."

An unintegrated intellect may believe it can know static "absolute" truth, but the wisdom of the soul says that all truth is changeable by the power of the Source-Of-All-That-Is and, therefore, there is Lliving Truth subject to the Source. Change is thus a spiritual as well as scientific Law of the cosmos.

Over time, Living Truth may render written words and final conclusions invalid, since they are frozen in the time of offering. Even if later translations and retranslations are free of misinterpretation and other human error, to say nothing of deliberate distortion, they may not stand.

Christ Jesus wisely taught that nothing which human nature touched can be assumed to be infallible, and He left nothing for the written record - not even creeds or theological laws. Instead, He urged people to each receive the Spirit of Truth from within themselves, and therein discover the "kingdom of heaven" with unadulterated truth.

Living Truth is a dynamic individual experience, forever unfolding, always growing, expanding, and being differently perceived by each intellect. To command it, a person need only "call up the universe"; "The truth will make you free."

What is revealed and discovered will be the Living Truth as best individuals can understand at the time. In any case, harmony with this and all other Cosmic Laws is important in human affairs, particularly the foundation documents of major institutions which are to be open to new understandings.

The bottom line is, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the unverse, accomodates change through initiatve by the people at-large.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Love

Love is the greatest of all human powers. Originating from the Source-Of-All-That-Is and flowing through the heart, the energy of Love produces both internal and external harmony for physical healing and growth for all forms of life. Focused Love power is to manifest peace and goodwill on Earth facilitated by enlightened government. It's the Law.

As the opposite of hate, which is negative and destructive of life forms, Love is the magnetic force that attracts and reproduces life, and the "glue" that holds together couple's, families, friends, communities, nation's and humanity. All life forms respond positively to Love at their own level of consciousness. even predators, human and animal. It's the greatest reservoir of power to unite all things.

Love is most often"felt" in the heart for something close, which is to include oneself, but it also is to be projected throughout the world by directing the energy in specific thought forms. Like all other thought, it is most effective when driven by a strong desire, or emotion, enhanced by affirmation and prayer.

"Practicing unconditional Love for all life is the pinnacle of human power, purpose and performance."

Love is also the Chief Liberator of humans, freeing them of their chief enslaver, fear. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once cautioned the nation against fear;

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

A mirror of insecurity, the negativity of fear contains no hope for the future, manifesting itself in self-defeating ways. Recorded history bears witness to fearful thought dominating the mass consciousness, creating fear-based governments, and causing wars and other disharmony.

The nature of Love is such that an immature child may experience fear when it hears orgasmic screams of loving adults, but grows to understand and appreciate them. Similarly, without understanding, adults may experience fear when nature forces produce volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and powerful storms in the interaction of creative energies. Comets smashing into Earth and "black holes" in space may be feared by immature humans who lack understanding of the cosmic order of things, much less a greater or divine order, beyond limited human science. But scienee has demonsrated it eventually discovers order, if not faith.

As humans mature, they recognize the Cosmic Laws that give guidance for the earthly experience with the Law of Love providing the highest positive vibration, or creative frequency, the ancestor of all goodness that the world has expienced. It was the foremost Law taught by Christ Jesus who said after God, humans are to love themselves, their neighbors, and even their "enemies". Love can disarm warring opponents.

Hate, anger and revenge reflect immaturity and ignorance of not only the Cosmic Law of Love, but the Law of Cause & Effect, or karma. In sharp contrast, Love is the supreme human relationship and the basic building block for Heaven on Earth.

The bottom line is, institutions such as government that reflect Love in their principles, policies and programs attract in-kind responses and voluntary support. For these reasons and more, An AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe is being proposed to further empower such results.

* * * * * * *
Mind Over Matter

To understand this Law and its relationship to human activities such as government, one should know that the Earth experience is an outgrowth of events in the nonmaterial realms, and in a particular order of occurrence;

Spirit origin, Mind faculty, Soul identity, Body vehicle. Spirit energy, the vital or animating force of all life in the universe, gives birth to the universe mind faculty, which then creates soul identity to incarnate in a material body.

The Mind born of Spirit, as distinguished from the body's survival-oriented material brain, is without bounds, possesses all knowledge in the universe, and dominates all matter universally. Its empowering value to humans is known to the soul;

"When humans wish to modify material reality, they succeed tothe extent that they discover the ways and means of directing energy."

Such an event only awaits the human intellect to accept the even greater Spirit reality of Mind;

"Whatsoever humans can conceive and believe, they can achieve."

For eons, people who witnessed healers and others exercising the power of Mind over matter thought they were seeing "miracles", but as the 20th century came to an end, many scientists, including five astrophysicists from different universities, agreed that they were on the brink of proving that consciousness effects matter, supporting mathematical findings in the subtle energy field research of quantum physics.

Barriers to the reality of universe powers erected by the limited five-sensory brain-based human intellect are subject to fall one way or another. The Cosmic Law that Mind is always dominant over matter, and that Spirit is ever correlated with its own creations throughout the Universe Energy Field, permeates all levels of consciousness, if not awareness, sooner or later.

Technically, mind controls energy through manipulation of the metamorphic potentials inherent in the mathematical level of the Causes & Effects of material things. With Spirit directive, Mind co-ordinate, and material subordinate, humans can co-create Heaven on Earth.

The bottom line is, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION authorizes government programs that apply this powerful Law in material ways, as well as in facilitating peace and goodwill throughout the world.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Morality

This Law guarantees that supreme virtues will ultimately prevail for Heaven on Earth.

Defined as the standard of "rightness or wrongness of an action", morality is reflected through the human conscience. Conscience is the inner reservoir into which the Soul pours timeless wisdom born of Spirit, whether or not the intellect is aware of it.

An individuals conscience recognizes the difference between right and wrong with regard to one's conduct, coupled with a sense that one should act accordingly. It is an important inner sense for human survival and advancement beyond the five physical senses.

When individuals and governments fall short of conscience-based interaction, it's usually the consequence of intellectual considerations over-ruling conscience in favor of practical, observable results. The unintegrated intellect may argue that "the end justifies the means", and it is by such misbased reasoning that wars, genocide, dictatorships, and all other forms of physical force and violence, are often defended although doomed to fail under Cosmic Laws.

When honoring one's own conscience, the sense of right comes clear for universal application;

"Moral means to moral ends."

In the book "Ends and Means", author Aldous Huxley noted that wrong means tend to become a part of, and corrupt good intentions;

"The end cannot justify the means for the simple reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced."

Doing wrong to try to correct wrongdoing only compounds the problem in trying to achieve moral ends as the hypocrisy conflicts with the principle of moral means. Might never made "right".

Moral human laws are enacted to provide a foundation for justice, not to try to force moral conduct. Timeless wisdom explains that the initiation of force by government will never achieve righteous goals, desireable as they may be, because it goes against several Cosmic Laws besides Morality, including Cause & Effect, or karma;

"Morality can never be advanced by law or by force. Always labor to persuade minds, but never dare to compel them."

Human laws cannot advance morality since the unintegrated intellect schemes to avoid them. By contrast, persuasion power is effective through personal contact and example that touches the heart. "Love and let love" is a means in full harmony with the Law of Morality and all others as well.

Despite cyclical setbacks, humans forever evolve to more virtuous choices as incarnated Souls, with multi-dimensional wisdom, integrate the five-sensory survival-focused intellect. Barbarism gives way to less primitive practices, enslavement gives way to equality, cruelty gives way to more humane treatment.

Conscience works against killing as the non-combat status of "Conscientious objector" is honored in times of war, less violent means of applying the death penalty for crimes are sought, and the penalty itself is challenged by moral reasoning;

"Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?"

Under Cosmic Laws, elimination of a Soul's physical body by force creates a new wave of negative karma for those involved in the act, and creates a debt that sooner or later must be settled.

In the context of the Law of Morality, "sin" is a deliberate violation, and "evil" is an unconscious violation by the unintegrated intellect. The idea of "original sin" was a controlling and manipulative teaching with no basis in Cosmic Law, tending to dismiss an individuals inner powers, including conscience, to rise above it . But self-empowering acts of displaying unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness, and efforts to anchor supreme values in the foundation of human endeavors, slowly triumph with time over their opposites.

Outstanding institutional moral progress has been seen throughout recorded history in such things as England's Magna Carta and America's Bill of Rights, as well as great humanitarian efforts undertaken by various private organizations, and growth of spiritual awareness around the world. Of special importance was a message from Spirit on October 20, 1996 to all Souls in human embodiment;

"Do not give support to that which is evil or sinful."

As with earlier "commandments", the admonishment was a reminder that causing death, injury or pain to others was not only a moral issue for the individual conscience, but the collective conscience as well in relation to government. Immoral policies and actions by government would lose funding as taxpayers claimed the right of conscience to direct their money according to the "golden rule" of morality;

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

A most blatant and common contradiction of the Law of Morality by government is the initiation of physical force to achieve control over people who threaten no physical harm to others. Humans appropriately enact laws against using it amongst themselves, but governments have been permitted to initiate unlimited force, even to nuclear devastation. The Soul rebels at a human "lawful order" that conflicts with its wisdom.

History and economics Professor Kenneth Schoolland made the moral point in his book "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible" (1995);

"The initiation of force to take life is murder, to take liberty is slavery, and to take property is theft. It is the same whether these actions are done by one person acting alone, by the many acting against a few, or even by officials with fine hats."

What is "wrong" for an individual is also wrong for a collection of individuals calling themselves the "government". Involuntary payment of money to an institution, like involuntary payment to robbers, is not a policy born of the Law of Morality, but rather the "law of the jungle".

Under Cosmic Laws, groups identified as syndicates, mobs and gangs are appropriately held responsible for wrongful acts. The forced association of many people under government does not relieve them, karmically speaking, of the same responsibility.

The bottom line is, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, replaces negative coercive, forceful ways of government with moral means to moral ends, positive persuasion and voluntary support.

Cosmic Law - Petition

The first thing to understand under this Law is that energy, which is the basis of all existence, is manipulated by thought. Thought in the form of a solemn request, or prayer, influences energy and is "received" throughout the universe, reaching all entities as well as the Source-Of-All-That-Is.

Ascended Masters, Spirit Beings of Light, Archangels, Angelic Hosts, personal Guides, and nature spirits, are among the unseen entities that one may petition. Author Joseph J. Weed, in his book "Wisdom of the Mystic Masters" (1988), said it's wise to focus a petition where it's most beneficial;

"...when we turn our attention to entities of a higher vibratory rate, we receive energy."

Positive petitioning to higher vibrations of "Light" consciousness is commonly known as prayer, or reverent request for assistance all the way to the Source, and results in positive benefits as told in sacred writings;

"Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find."

The focus and intensity of a petition may make a difference in the measure of its benefits, but it should be understood that even the request that a person believes has "not been answered" has been answered by the fact of "no response". Higher consciousness of Light does not give assistance which is inappropriate.

An individuals trust in "faith" undergoes a major test here, since the process of receiving assistance may also involve a delay in time, or it may come in some form other than what was requested or anticipated. A petition for material assistance may be answered with information.

Meditation, or quieting the intellect, is the most direct means of "hearing" the answer to a petition, but it may also come through a "knowing", if it doesn't appear in a very obvious material way.

The bottom line is, assistance from the highest realms of Light awaits humanity's solemn request to manifest Heaven on Earth. And one of the most important aspects of this effort is establishing an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with all Cosmic Laws.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Principle

This is the Law that gives humans the perception of basic rules of the cosmos. For example, all life forms are commonly observed protecting themselves against harm, the principle of inherent self-preservation. Humans regard the principle as a "moral value" defining right from wrong for themselves at least, and they in turn make "murder" illegal. Such is a measure of integration of the five-sensory intellect by the wisdom of the soul, and the conscience it supplies.

Similarly, the Law of Principle has seen humanity rule out the initiation of physical force by one human on another, as in rape and robbery, but the collective group known as "government" was still not held to the same moral value by the end of the 20th century. Such was the slowness of soul integration.

Governmental systems still rested on using coercion backed by physical force for their creation and survival, little different in principle from practices of organized crime to achieve goals. The essential difference was that one was called robbery, while the other was called involuntary taxation.

Cosmic Laws work together to overcome the idea that wrong action is acceptable so long as there are good results. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis once warned against government violating even earthly laws in pursuit of "good" ends;

"If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law."

Beyond this, government not reflecting the highest principles is faced with a situation of far greater magnitude, according to the wisdom of the soul;

"If government is in disharmony with Cosmic Laws, it breeds its own collapse."

The idea that moral ends justify forceful means, a pragmatic approach, is an ill-fated position of five-sensory intellects unintegrated by the principled wisdom of the soul, but the evolution of human consciousness, and conscience, guarantees change.

The bottom line is, the Law of Principle ensures moral means to moral ends, a voluntary association in governing practices, and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION is being advanced to this end.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Soul Mind

The immortal Soul, which is a body of energy located just above the crown chakra, literally has a mind of its own. This is the Higher Consciousness, or Self, that the human intellect is to integrate for greater understanding of Spirit reality.

The Soul mind knows of the natural subtle Cosmic Laws of the universe and the oneness of all things, as well as the great diversity of Creation. It's what makes human beings a co-creative part of All-That-Is and the Source.

Just as a human being is an individualized aspect of Earth parents, the Soul is an individualized aspect of the Source-Of-All That-Is, a "child of God". While a human being gains knowledge of material reality on Earth through the five physical senses, the Soul mind has "knowing" of nonmaterial reality by means of its oneness with what may be termed the Cosmic Consciousness. Humans have described this awareness as "intuition" , or the knowing of something without rational processes, but in any case it is wisdom. Attunement with it is made through focused desire and meditation.

The overall purpose of the Soul that incarnates with a physical body is to ground its wisdom on the planet and thereby create Heaven on Earth, which is "peace and goodwill" springing from the truth of the unity of all diversity.

The Souls who wrote the U.S. Constitution in the late 1700's were an important part of this process, especially in terms of the Bill of Rights which was their best effort toward attunement with Cosmic Laws. But the Soul knows much more is to be done.

The bottom line is, with the electronic age, the opportunity is at hand to upgrade ALL institutions and bring them into FULL harmony with the Higher Laws. For these reasons, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, is being advanced.

* * * * * * *
Cosmic Law - Soul Rights

This powerful Law is constantly at work in behalf of the Soul to be self-governing in the physical body. In striving to fulfill its Spirit-born purpose in the human experience, Soul wisdom with autonomy is "Heaven on Earth".

The author of all Rights is the Source-Of-All That-Is, which resides within humans as the Soul-Self. Writers of the U.S. Constitution identified some of these Rights and set them forth in the first ten Amendments that demonstrated in its Preamble concern over governments' intended beneficent ends;

"...further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added."

Human government was a long history of abusive power by fear-based intellects focused on the five survival senses, unintegrated by the multidimensional wisdom of the Soul, and without application of the superior Laws of the cosmos. Fear-based survival-driven government did not allow the Soul Rights of even Christ Jesus or Mahatma Gandhi. To the extent that at least limited justice and morality was enumerated in the U.S. Bill of Rights, some progress was noted in principle, if not always in practice.

The Soul-integrated intellect pursues clarity in all human laws to enhance harmony with Cosmic Laws. Rights of the Soul in human embodiment are to be specific, and include basic protective and mobility considerations;

The Right to govern one's personal body.

The Right to defend against personal harm.

The Right to freely travel and associate with others.

The Right to speak freely.

Soul Rights also extend to the collective whole of human government in specific ways;

The Right to participate directly and equally in lawmaking.

The Right to designate one's percentage of taxes to specific programs.

The Right to require "Karmic Impact Statements" for others' proposed actions.

The Right to exercise peaceful self-governance. Discerning Soul Rights is a process of Individuals freely negotiating with each other for mutual agreement, in contrast to past history as viewed by timeless wisdom;

"There is no greater error than the self-deception which leads intelligent beings to crave the exercise of power over other beings for the purpose of depriving these persons of their natural liberties. Fairness cries out against all such fraud, unfairness, selfishness and unrighteousness."

Moreover, the Law of Rights works in harmony with other Cosmic Laws to free all people from the yoke of those who employ any kind of control, manipulation or enslavement. The Soul seeks to be free, and no Soul is free as long as it is governed by others against its free choice. The Law may be subtle and slow, but it's immutable.

In no sense is Soul autonomy anarchistic or chaotic. No political disorder or confusion exists as one's Soul-integrated intellect abides by the Laws of the cosmos.

The bottom line is, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, ensures that Soul Rights are fully honored.This powerful Law is constantly at work in behalf of the Soul to be self governing in the physical body. In striving to fulfill its Spirit-born purpose in the human experience, Soul wisdom with autonomy is "Heaven on Earth".

Cosmic Law - Unity & Diversity

Humanity, for all its claims of material progress, has created a jigsaw puzzle world of fear-based armed camps, for internal as well as external control, that denies true political freedom by physical force, in violation of this Cosmic Law;

"The whole of creation is made up of its individual parts."

In the human picture puzzle, the individual pieces fit in particular places and no amount of force can make them fit elsewhere to make the picture whole. For Unity, Diversity must be honored.

The diversity of humanity is ignored in governmental structures of top-down power. A dictatorship is obvious rejection of diversity, but even a "representative" form of government does not fully honor and empower its individual parts. It produces a structure in which there are "winners" and "losers".

Opposing factions in constant confrontation for control of a government to forcefully impose their own programs on the whole, in disrespect for diverse or opposite ideas, is not a government in harmony with the Law of Unity and Diversity. Rather, it is a government that relies on the initiation of physical force to maintain its hold on power, with people facing guns and jails for not giving their tax support and allegiance to it.

Involuntary submission to the holders of government power does not produce a peaceful win-win society, and even acquiesance to such power causes subtle unrest for its lack of harmony with the natural cosmic reality.

Where diverse choices are denied, freedom is denied, and where freedom is denied, disharmonious energies are set off that reverberate throughout the world, as shown in the Cosmic Law of Cause & Effect, or karma.

The bottom line is, full Unity of the Diversity of humanity is achieved with government policies and programs that attract voluntary individual "subscription", and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, creates such "bottom up" government without force.

56 Grievances by Triaka

Grievance 1 - Imbalance

The U.S. Constitution established a form of government that gave direct governing power to a small minority over the American people at-large. Power was structured from top-down, as opposed to the taxpayers who financed it from the bottom-up, an oligarchical system that favored influential money interests and leaned toward elitism.

This, despite the words of one of the nation's most quoted founders, Thomas Jefferson; "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves." And further... "...if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome direction, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion." But the power to enact or repeal the laws of American society was not vested in the people. Rather, it was constitutionally reserved to powerholders, and secrecy in government became commonplace for lack of specific constraint.

The general population was disempowered from directly initiating and voting for change in the Constitution by Article V, which placed the determination of Amendments in the hands of federal and state politicians only; "The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments." Neither could Americans at-large initiate a direct popular vote on proposed laws. By contrast, Californians could directly initiate general voting on statutes as well as their State Constitution; Section 8. (b) "An initiative may be proposed to the Secretary of State that sets forth the text of the proposed statute or amend- ment to the Constitution and is certified to have been signed by electors..." Americans were further disempowered by having no provision in the U.S. Constitution that provided for Congress to submit proposed statutes to a vote of the people at-large as by referendums.

The imbalance of national power resulted in an imbalance in U.S. principles, policies and programs, domestic and international. Rather than reflecting the majority of Americans at-large, they most frequently carried out the desires of minority money interests, which often were not the popular will, as these Grievances show to a candid world; "The chance of baking a good cake in a faulty oven is slim." Dollars & cents held greater power than common sense. Americans at-large had no direct voice in the U.S. liberal-conservative insiders aliignment referred to in Bill Kauffman's book "America First" (1995); "Henceforth, the armed forces...are to plant, with trowel and bayonet, the seeds of capitalist democracy in all the countries of the world, even those whose native customs are inimical to Western Democracy." Nor did Americans at-large have a balance of power regarding such huge expenditures of their tax dollars as $4.5 billion for a single nuclear-powered Navy aircraft carrier, that common sense said had more to do with profiting defense industries than in defending the nation.

By the end of the 20th century, lawmaking for 260 million Americans, and influence over much of the world, was in the hands of 535 politicians in Congress, and defacto lawmaking, with powers of life and death over much of the world, was in the hands of a single politician, the President. All were easy centralized targets for controllers and manipulators of government power through elections and lobbying.

Due to constitutional vagueness and ambiguity, the power of the President slowly grew to the point where social commentator Dr. Laura Schlessinger, reacting to sexual improprieties of Bill Clinton, called for a role model in the office; "How naive not to imagine or realize that the quality of a persons character is, in addition to his intellect and exper- ience, necessary for the proper fulfill- ment for those tasks." A federal judge found Clinton "in contempt of court for intentionally false" testimony, but there was no constitutional means for the people at-large to directly remove him short of a four-year term. There was no constitutional provision for a "recall" election.

By extension of unbalanced power, the U.S. government was instrumental in creating such powerful unelected bodies as the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization, non of which offered even a pretense of democratic processes in decision-making.

Centralization of power in the U.S. government represented the opposite philosophy of Individuality; "The truly civilized government is that which is balanced by individual franchise." George Mason University Professor and newspaper columnist Walter E. Williams noted a practical consideration; "The bulk of knowledge and information to conduct our lives is held locally among millions of individuals, not centrally among bureaucrats." Top-down governing power by a relatively small number of politicians and money interests was tantamount to bondage for everybody else, and the Constitution locked out Americans at-large from correcting the injustice directly.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, equal opportunity of all individuals to vote directly on U.S. government principles, policies and programs is guaranteed for a balance of power.

********************************************
Grievance 2 - Secret Government

The U.S. Constitution failed to prevent the rise of a large and powerful secret government mechanism over which the people at-large had no direct control, resulting in "taxation without representation", the same grievance lodged by American revolutionaries in 1776.

Secret Government is defined here as unelected persons holding powers of the United States that directly or indirectly affected millions of people, and who operated in ways intentionally kept hidden from the people paying for it. The mechanism included a far-flung labyrinth of tens-of-thousands of secret people operating in unknown numbers of secret places under many secret programs through numerous cooperating secret agencies both domestic and foreign. It included the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, Naval Intelligence, Air Force Intelligence, State Department Intelligence, and National Security Council in the U.S., with cooperation from British Intelligence, Israeli Mossad, and Russian KGB "moles" among others. Its power to control and manipulate conditions around the world was fully documented.

Secret Government worked to extend, consolidate and centralize economic, political and military power appropriate to a World Empire of controllers and manipulators, as shown in this and other grievances to a candid world.

The U.S. Congress funded Secret Government with a virtual blank check, and could only estimate in the mid-1990's that American taxpayers paid for it at the rate of about $1 trillion over 20 years. So far reaching and free spending was it that the NSA gathered l,056 pages of information about Britain's Princess Diana and refused to disclose why the information was obtained, or why it was kept secret long after her death in a car crash in 1997.

The nearest thing to being a public figure representing Secret Government in the Washington administration was the appointed "National Security Adviser" to the President. But the position was more than advisory as observed by Edward N. Luttwak, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in a report October 11, 1998:

"President Clinton's national security adviser, Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, last week issued an utimatum to President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia by giving a background briefing to reporters."

The President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and Chairman of the Joint Military Chiefs of Staff normally followed plans provided by Secret Government.

Secret Government operated outside the "rule of law" of the United Nations Charter and international agreements. With Presdential approval, missile "sneak attacks" were launched by the Navy September 20, 1998, on what Secret Government alleged were "terrorist" sites in the sovereign nations of Sudan and Afghanistan. Congress was caught by surprise, and insiders said even most Chiefs of the armed forces were not informed;

"The planning cell was very small."

The names of those in the conspiratorial group were kept hidden from the American taxpayers, who spent $1 million for each of the 75 missiles used in the military aggression.

What was learned about Secret Government and its army of operatives came largely from "insider" leaks and some who resigned to become "whistleblowers". Mainstream mass media, once claiming itself as a "watchdog" of government, grew impotent as Secret Government held up a shield of "national security" to protect itself from exposure. An important defense tactic of Secret Government was to label its critics and challengers as "conspiracy kooks".

Major media feared loss of advertising income if it probed too deeply into Secret Government and was never creatively bold enough to develop alternative financial resources such as listener sponsorship and advertisers opposed to the secrecy.

Vanderbilt University political science professor Harry Howe Ransom wrote a classic understatement in his 1988 book "The Intelligence Establishment";

"As a source of great influence, intelligence and covert operational systems demand the close attention of students of government and politics..."

Secret Government was the greatest challenge that Americans ever had to their Constitution and "representative democracy".

Secret Government was directly involved with most means of mass communication, including broadcasters, reporters, newspapers, publishing houses, writers, magazines, news services, think tanks, researchers, political activities, labor unions, and financial and educational institutions. It infiltrated and subverted groups exercising constitutional rights for peaceful change

In foreign lands, Secret Government distributed false information, instigated unrest and was involved in warmaking, all documented by former participants. It was instrumental in dividing Korea and Vietnam into north-south warring nations. It helped overthrow popularly-supported governments including Greece, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Brazi, Uraguay, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, and supported repressive military regimes in Indonesia, Turkey, Haiti, Kuwait, Morocco, Chad and Zaire. It trained Afghanistan forces fighting Soviet communism and who later turned against the U.S. Former Assistant Secretary of State and Council on Foreign Relations member Richard Murphy acknowledged "we did spawn a monster in Afghanistan".

American taxpayers paid over $200 billion to train, equip, and subsidize over 200 million foreign troops and Secret Government "security" forces in over 80 countries in the last half of the 20th century.

Congressional committees obtained minimal information about Secret Governments' worldwide activities but made no challenge. In 1998, a secret memo was declassified revealing that in 1975 Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told President Gerald Ford that the CIA was threatened by a "scandal" that was "just the tip of the iceberg" and could wreck the agency.

Among the earliest published insiders who quit after feeling remorse was Victor Marchetti who was with the CIA for 14 years and rose to be Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director. Together with John D. Marks, who was analyst and staff assistant to the Intelligence Director of the State Department, they wrote "The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence" which was published in 1974;

"The cult of intelligence is a secret fraternity of the American political aristocracy...to foster a world order in which America would reign supreme."

A World Empire of controllers and manipulators could come into existence by means that most people would regard as wrong, the authors said...

"...overthrowing foreign governments, subverting elections, bribing officials, and waging `secret' wars."

In reviewing the book, Walter Clemons of Newsweek Magazine said it was "devastating", but Secret Government was never slowed. It employed an array of control tactics that included "pre-emptive surgical strikes" by military, paramilitary or special forces, terrorism, assassination/murder, bombngs, riots, torture, robbery, abduction, and street crime and violence, creating fear in the populace and setting the stage for martial law.

Another former insider was Colonel Fletcher Prouty who had worked in White House national security operations. Publishing "The Secret Team" in 1973, Prouty pointed to the reality of its power;

"The CIA and its allies (are) in control of the U.S. and the world."

The Secret Government option of assassination was publicly advocated by some members of Congress in 1998 expressing frustration with some uncooperative foreign leaders. Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Slobodan Milosovic of Yugoslavia were mentioned, with Senator Arlen Specter declaring Saddam had to be "eliminated...one way or another we're going to have to topple him."

No public accounting of Secret Governments estimated $50 billion in yearly expenditures was ever given, although the Constitution required it;

Article 1, Section 9 - "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law, and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."

The lack of Secret Government agency accountability suggested it was above the "law of the land" and untouchable.

Newspaper columnist Anthony Lewis summed up the feeling of constitutionalists;

"...the whole idea constructed at the Philadelphia (constitutional) convention in 1787, rests on the premise of an informed electorate, holding its rulers accountable and thus preventing the corruption of power."

But the Constitution failed to provide automatic correction of violators, and unelected, unresponsive and uncontrolled Secret Government did whatever it decided. It far exceeded anything the Mafia, Cosa Nostra, or other criminal-like organization ever did, and it did so on a worldwide scale, but no U.S., U.N. or other authority challenged it.

Former Mossad insider Victor Ostrovsky said in his 1995 book "By Way of Deception", that the organization, which cooperated with U.S. Secret Government agencies, was "out of control...(and) often ruthless". In order to finance some of its "frightening" operations with the CIA, weapons were delivered to "friends" in Central America and Afghanistan with drugs as payment in return. The Mossad operated with no government oversight, a blank check budget, and even the name of its director was secret.

Conspiracy by the CIA in drug smuggling was made public by numerous reliable sources, including University of Wisconsin Professor Alfred McCoy. His "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia" published in 1972 was followed by expanded research in 1991 titled "The Politics of Heroin---CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade".

In 1993, former Navy and airline pilot, and investigator for the Federal Aeronautics Administration, Rodney Stich, added the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration to Secret Government arms-for-drugs operations. In his book "Defrauding America", the author named several DEA pilots who "acted under orders" to fly drugs from Latin America into the U.S. where they were sold. Both arms and drugs served to destabilize society for ultimate control and was a specialty of Secret Government.

While Secret Government was running drugs, the public government declared a "war on drugs", which served to divert public attention from the mounting evidence of illegal activity.

Secret Government interfered with various congressional investigators trying to probe alleged wrongdoing, including the transfer of space technology from Hughes Electronic Corporation to China.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, taxpayers have the right to designate their percentage of taxation to specific legal programs, cutting off tax funds from illegal government activities.

***********************************************

Grievance 3 -Domination

The U.S. Constitution failed to provide sufficient checks and balances by American taxpayers against government actions that went beyond their wishes. Opinion polls of the people at-large consistently indicated intrusive policies, including "policing the world", were not favored. Nevertheless, the government expanded and extended both overt and covert penetration and domination of other nations.

Among leading money-oriented private groups working to advance U.S. domination of the world was the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Senior Associate Robert Kaganis expressed fear of losing control in the Washington Post;

"Perhaps the most profound threat is that Americans will...forget just how important continued U.S. domination is to the preservation of a reasonable level of international security and prosperity."

But security for U.S. money interests did not translate into security for the diversity of nations, nor did it reflect a policy of respect for sovereignty. Instead, it demonstrated a policy fitting of a World Empire of controllers and manipulators.

As the 20th century drew to a close, the U.S. was the most dominating force in the world with 1,150 military installations in 144 of the 185 nations on the planet. With no hot or cold war in 1992, U.S. active-duty military strength was 2,115,773, and six years later in the Persian Gulf alone, there were 23 warships, 173 warplanes, and 23,500 troops.

What was reported as a "historic shift" in U.S. policy emerged in February,1997, at Charleston, South Carolina, as hundreds of Army trucks, bulldozers and tankers were loaded aboard the first of 19 giant Navy cargo ships to be moored around the world. While closing some military bases on American soil to "save money", the government added to its military budget for floating warehouses which could hold half of all traditionally land-based Army equipment ready for launching from a nearby anchorage. The change in policy from one of professed "defense" to obvious offense was given little attention by major mass media, leaving most Americans uninformed.

In tonnage and firepower, the U.S. Navy was greater than all other navies combined, surveilling every ocean and making port on every continent and island of importance. There were 6,230 ballistic-missile nuclear warheads on U.S. submarines and bombers capable of devastating every important target in the world and causing massive death.

Chemical, biological and other weapons, many secret, were also ready for use. Even without using maximum U.S. firepower in the opening days of the six-weeks Gulf War in 1991, 100,000 Iraqi's, mostly civilians, were killed.

Despite its own proliferation of nuclear weapons, the U.S. warned communist North Korea in 1998 it would "not tolerate" that nations development of such a weapon, and demanded the right to inspect suspected underground development facilities.

By the late 1990's, the U.S. was orbiting "hundreds" of military satellites around the planet providing the means to obliterate most life on the Earth's surface with pinpoint accuracy. Secret Government's National Reconnaissance Office planned to add another $1 billion spy satellite but it exploded shortly after launch. The Los Angeles Times reported that China, as a defensive measure, could be developing an anti-satellite laser weapon.

The U.S. government planned to spend $53 billion in fiscal 2000, $61 billion in 2001, and $75 billion by 2005 for added military weapons, aircraft, ships, vehicles, missiles, electronics, and other hardware, and the major political parties fought over the amount of increases. Democratic President Bill Clinton asked for an overall military budget increase of $12 billion begnning in 1999, and an additional $112 billion over the following five years while Republicans complained it was not enough.

U.S. military spending reached $1,000 per person per year in 1995. Retired senior U.S. military officers with the Center for Defense Information in Washington, D.C. declared their opposition;

"...there are no military threats... (spending) is out of control...to the detriment of the average American."

he CDI said the "military, industrial, intelligence complex" sought to expand U.S. armed forces and spending for world domination;

"They comprise perhaps the worlds most powerful special interest group."

Retired Navy Vice Admiral John J. Shanahan came out of retirement to become director of the Center;

"What is happening in Washington today is truly frightening."

In an assessment based on military capabilities and defense spending of 169 nations, London's International Institute for Strategic Studies said in "The Military Balance 1997-98" that the U.S. was unchallenged militarily. U.S. spending was 17 times greater than that of the combined spending of all potential threats, and increasing faster than the rate of money inflation.

The U.S. assumed a dominating role in expanding the 16-member North Atlantic Treaty Organization to include some former East European communist nations, and moved troops into a civil war in Bosnia that had been fought with weapons supplied by the U.S. and Russia. It moved troops into Macedonia, Albania and Yugoslavia's Kosovo Province after bombing the province and killing 2,000 inhabitants in a war alleged to be "humanitarian" to end centuries of ethnic civil war.

Decisions to place and keep military forces in sovereign nations were based on various claims, and were often announced as temporary, but extensions and expansions were common. In the World War II battleground of Okinawa, the local government wanted the 47,000 U.S. troops still occupying the land more than 50 years later to move out, but the U.S. refused. U.S. troops likewise remained in Japan and Germany. In 1994, U.S. troops entered Haiti to force a change in the government and control Haitian resources, but four years and millions of tax dollars later said it would remain there for "humanitarian" reasons. U.S. domination also took the form of forcing foreign ships to stop on the open seas to seize cargo it determined to be "illegal". It used its helicopters and troops from the "Caribbean Regional Security Service" to invade the independent nations of Trinidad, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Dominica, Antigua and St. Vincent to destroy marijuana plants, rejecting strong protests in the region. In Columbia, as in Vietnam 35 years earlier, it trained government troops with U.S. weapons and equipment to fight forces opposed to the prevailing rulers.

As chronicled in other grievances, Secret Government, such as the CIA, used an estimated $50 billion per year of taxpayers funds to pay for an army of tens-of-thousands of civilians worldwide to carry out covert operations that greatly assisted the U.S. policy of domination.

Domination also came in subtle forms. The government refused to discuss circumstances behind bringing Palestinian Mohammed Rashid to the U.S. in 1998 on charges of planting a bomb aboard a jetliner 16 years earlier, charges on which he had been previously tried in Greece.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government is prohibited from uninvited domination of other nations.

Grievance 4 - Espionage

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government from conducting espionage in behalf of commercial interests on taxpayers time and money.

The CIA, originally established as an intelligence gathering agency for defense, conducted both covert and overt operations to obtain information that would benefit favored businesses. The agency ran an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal openly recruiting business and professional people to serve as "non-official cover" officers through a "front" agency;

"Direct your efforts to Selwyn, Bryant and Brooke Associates, an international search firm representing clients who wish to attract enthusiastic and ex- periencd professionals for positions around the world."

The ad was handled for the CIA by Stackig, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, where the secret agency's major operations were based.

One espionage case was exposed in 1995 in France where an American woman was accused of attempting to recruit and bribe French corporate and government officials to give technology secrets to the CIA. The case involved communication switching technology developed by France Telecom from which American Telephone & Telegraph could benefit.

The CIA helped defense contractor Raytheon win a major contract in Brazil after spying on a competitor, and other favored commercial interests benefitted from similar assistance. Investors, both inside and outside the agency, stood to profit by obtaining secret information regarding company's that were to receive the agency's help. Competing companies were at a major disadvantage in not having tax-supported agents working in their behalf.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral values and Democratic Ideals, espionage by government employees is prohibited.

*************************************

Grievance 5 - Aggression

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit U.S. military aggression against other nations, and was not specific in its language that would require the people's elected representatives in Congress to authorize the initiation of hostile military action. While it reserved to Congress the power to "declare war", it failed to directly ban the President, as "Commander in Chief" of the armed forces, or any other official, from initiating force without such declaration.

There appeared a pattern of aggression that seemed to be aimed at control or great influence over much of the world for economic gain. Prior to World War II, the U.S. militarily invaded such sovereign nations as Russia, China, Nicaragua, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Mexico, Hawai`i and the Philippines. Aggression continued after World War II with troop invasions and/or air attacks on the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cambodia, Lebanon, Granada, Panama, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia.

Without direct formal congressional authorization, U.S. officials announced in February 1999 a "war on terrorism" with a policy to attack alleged terrorist facilities found anywhere in the world. Its first missile assaults struck Sudan and Afghanistan, and the Sudan site was later confirmed to have been wrongly targeted by the CIA. A month later, the government went beyond terrorist targets and, under the banner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, launched a "humanitarian" bombing and missile war on Yugoslavia's Serbs who had been engaged in periodic civil war with ethnic Albanians for centuries.

NATO, comprised of unelected ambassadors from several mostly-European governments, circumvented its own Charter as a "defense" organization, and violated the United Nations Charter as well in the aggression on Yugoslavia. Casualty figures were estimated at 2,000 dead in less than six weeks of the undeclared war. Historically, such aggression was popularly regarded as the "law of the jungle".

The U.S. took military control of Haiti with 20,000 troops in 1994. Five years and billions of taxpayer dollars later, General Charles Wilhelm of the Southern Command recommended military withdrawal due to failure to establish a permanent internal peace on the island, but U.S. political figures rejected the idea. Some Haitian resources, natural and human, were economically valuable.

In secret operations, the US participated in mercenary attacks in such places of rich resources as Angola, Mozambique, East Timor, South Yemen, Western Sahara, Cambodia and Cuba. Fighting in Angola took an estimated l.5 million lives.

Michael Kronenwetter, author of "The Military Power of the President" (1988), said the U.S. was involved in several hundred wars and other military operations up to the time he published his book, and that only five had been declared "war" by Congress.

Richard Shenkman, author of "I Love Paul Revere Whether He Rode or Not" (1991), said the historical record showed Americans were sharply divided or opposed to U.S. military actions;

"The War of 1812 was so controversial that New Englanders seriously considered seceding from the Union to avoid supporting it. The Mexican-American War aroused such passion that Abraham Lincoln gave a stirring speech in Congress against it."

The Spanish-American War provoked a national debate about imperialistic aggression, and World War I in Europe divided the U.S. government to the extent that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan resigned his office in protect. Almost as many people were opposed to the Korean War as ultimately condemned the Vietnam War, forcing its end.

Foreign interventions took on the appearance of imperialistic aggression by a government under control of its manipulators rather than the American people at-large.

U.S. aggression against North Vietnam became a major undeclared war on the basis of a "battle" that never occurred, according to Medal of Honor winner Navy Admiral James B. Stockdale. He stated in his book "In Love and War" that President Lyndon Johnson ordered air strikes and troop buildup in 1964 after a false report was made that U.S. ships were under attack in the Gulf of Tonkin. Stockdale commanded a squadron of Navy fighter planes from the aircraft carrier Ticonderoga in the area of the alleged incident;

"No boats, no boat wakes, no ricochets off boats, no torpedo wakes...nothing but black sea and American firepower."

Stockdale was shot down a year later and spent more than seven years as a prisoner in North Vietnam, while 55,000 American troops died in losing the war. No congressional investigation was held to determine the source of the Tonkin Gulf lie.

Within the war itself, aggression was so ingrained in U.S. troops that they massacred 500 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai before three of the troops stopped the slaughter by pointing their weapons at their fellow Americans. Thirty three years later, the trio were officially proclaimed Army heroes.

The same war saw additional U.S. aggression with 3,630 bombing missions on alleged Viet Cong bases in neutral Cambodia. This helped swing Cambodian sentiment in favor of the fledgling Khmer Rouge movement under Pol Pot, who soon sparked the murder of an estimated two-million of his fellow Cambodians.

In 1989, U.S. troops were ordered by President George Bush to invade Panama, again with no congressional declaration of war. Hundreds of civilians were killed in addition to military defenders. Panama "strongman" Manuel Noriega, who had boasted that he had Bush "by the balls" in connection with CIA drug operations, was taken captive and convicted in a U.S. court for alleged drug trafficking and drug money laundering. While an international court of justice would have been an impartial setting, it would also serve to expose Secret Government drug operations, and the U.S. strongly opposed such a court.

On the excuse of defending tiny Kuwait against Iraqi aggression in 1991, the U.S. spearheaded the mobilization of a multi-national military force of 200,000 that killed thousands of Iraqi's in the oil-rich region. It ended with the U.S. taking control of northern and southern Iraqi air space and an ongoing policy of air attacks on Iraqi air defense sites. U.S.-led trade sanctions were also imposed on Iraq through the small but powerful U.N. Security Council.

U.S. aggression was officially honored when President Bill Clinton proclaimed as a "hero" an Air Force pilot who had been shot down after violating Bosnian air space.

Throughout the years, the government rolled out propaganda machinery, mobilized public relations forces, purchased advertising, spread misinformation and disinformation, and took free television and radio time to defend aggressive acts around the world, while secretly plotting other possible actions, such as a nuclear attack on China's nuclear test facilities in the 1960's.

With an Authentic Constitution in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the act of "initiating" forceful or hostile action against human beings is prohibited.

**************************************

Grievance 6 - Imperialism

Expansion of U.S. power and influence around the world was most evident beginning in the 1800's. At first, imperialistic policies were declared to be the nation's "manifest destiny". Later, they were explained as a matter of "national security", followed by a more open ended claim of "national interest".

An important example of the U.S. extending "back door" authority over an independent nation came with its military support of the overthrow of the government of Hawai`i in 1893. President Grover Cleveland, after looking into details of unauthorized U.S. military involvement, told Congress several months later that it showed no regard for accepted standards of behavior;

"As I look back upon the first steps in this miserable business, and as I contemplate the means used to complete the outrage, I am ashamed of the whole affair."

U.S. forces were landed in Honolulu from the USS Boston in violation of diplomatic agreements between Hawai`i and the U.S., giving support to a "provisional" government representing mostly American economic and religious missionary interests that wanted to make the islands a U.S. possession. At the same time, the military had interest in making Pearl Harbor a permanent Navy base for influence throughout the Pacific Ocean region.

The Hawaiian head of government, Queen Lili'uokalani, was held prisoner for nine months, yielding what she hoped would be only temporary authority;

"...Now, to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life, I do, under this protest, and impelled by said force, yield my authority until such time as the Govern- ment of the United States shall, upon the facts presented to it, undo the action of its representatives..."

But it wasn't until a century later that the U.S. officially apologized for the action and, even then, refused to restore control of the islands to legal authority.

In 1994, international law professors Francis Boyle, of the University of Illinois, and Richard Falk, of Princeton University, said a Hawaiian movement to restore the proper government would be justified, and would take precedence over the Hawai`i vote for statehood which came 66 years after the overthrow.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all forms of imperialism and control over independence movements are prohibited.

*******************************************

Grievance 7 - Lawlessness

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically prohibit and penalize the government for violating its international lawful agreements.

On August 21, 1998, the U.S. launched bombing attacks on alleged "terrorist" targets in Sudan and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Madeline Albright said it was a "war on terrorism";

"This is unfortunately the war of the future, and we have to understand the importance of sustained operations here."

International law and courts of justice were cast aside, along with the United Nations Charter which the U.S. had helped write;

Chapter 1, Article 1 - "To maintain international peace and security, and to that end, to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of inter- national disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace..."

Without U.N. sanction, military assaults, and the declared "war" itself, went against the intent of the Charter to seek "peaceful settlement" of the terrorist problem.

The attacks came less than two weeks after anti-U.S. bombings at its embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that the U.S. said were linked to a millionaire sponsor in Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden. The suspect had been known to U.S. authorities six years earlier when he reportedly admitted bombing U.S. troops in Yemen, but no effort was made to bring him to an international court of justice in the manner of war-crimes suspects from Bosnia in the 1990's.

While the U.S. offered $2.2 million for Mexican fugitive Vasquez Mendoza in a drug-related killing of a U.S. agent, and paid $1.9 million in taxpayers money to the family of a teenager killed by a Marine while herding goats, it offered no reward for the capture of Osama bin Laden in the years following his alleged confession.

Sudan charged that President Bill Clinton was a "war criminal" for the bombing attack on its sovereign territory, and U.S. leaders seemed vulnerable under the U.N. Charter and world precedents, but U.S. power and influence made an international trial almost impossible. At the same time, the U.S. strongly opposed establishment of a "permanent" international court of justice that was overwhelmingly approved by most other nations in 1998.

In March, 1985, Secret Government (Grievance 2) hatched a terrorist bomb plot that impacted the entire Islamic religion, detailed in the book "Veil" by Bob Woodward. With help from a British agent and operatives from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, a bomb was exploded at the Imam Rida mosque in Beirut, Lebanon that killed 80 people and wounded 256. Violent fringe elements called for revenge, and three years later a Pan American passenger plane was blown out of the sky over Scotland, killing 270, followed by bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993, killing six and injuring hundreds.

U.S. policies gave the appearance of the "law of the jungle", ensuring like-response from violent fringe groups among elements protesting against intrusive and dominating U.S. influences. Without a shift in policy to international peace machinery and adjudication of differences, an endless cycle seemed guaranteed.

Ever-tightening security measures were leading to borderline police-state conditions and potential marshal law, threatening basic American freedoms.

Over many years preceding these events, Secret Government used terrorist tactics in foreign countries, including guerrilla and paramilitary operations directed by the CIA. Violent elimination of leaders of opposing governments was successful in Chile, and attempted in Cuba, Libya, Jordan and Afghanistan.

Prior to 1975, the U.S. had no prohibition against terroristic murdering of foreign government leaders, and in 1998 it was openly debating wheher to restore the practice and extend it to persons who were not heads of state.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, killing humans by any other name is unlawful for government, as well as for individuals.

****************************************

Grievance 8 - Militarism

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit the government from extending its armed forces worldwide with no threat of war on the nation. As the 20th century came to a close, there were 1,150 U.S. military installations around the world, and a fleet of warships and floating warehouses on the seas.

Military academies, colleges, and bases trained not only Americans, but foreigners in physical force and violence. The idea of "peace academies" for training people in proven methods of conflict resolution was diminished by the government's militaristic policy.

Each year since 1946, some 2,000 foreign military personnel were brought to the government's "School of the America's" at Fort Benning, Georgia, to train in "low-intensity" combat, which was said to be a code word for brutalization and terror. The Army admitted that some of its graduates abused their power. Critics said it was a training ground for assassins, dictators, and their henchmen. Some of its graduates were linked to the murder of six Jesuit priests and two women in El Salvador. A congressional study found that 10 graduates had taken over Latin American countries through military coups or other undemocratic means over a 30-year period.

The U.S. ambassador to Indonesia said at the height of that country's economic and political destabilization in 1998, in which 1,200 Indonesians were killed, a U.S.-trained secret military force was involved in abducting and torturing political dissidents.

The government required 18-year olds to register for possible involuntary induction into military service, and advertised enlistment with the slogan "Be all that you can be". Training 6,000 individuals to operate a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, as an example, raised a question whether this was all they could be.

The U.S. "federalized" state National Guard troops in the early 1990's, bringing them more directly under control of centralized power. Congress militarized many law-enforcement agencies in giving the military an increased role in fighting civilian crime.

Research and development of new weapons was ongoing with no lid on spending. Besides nuclear, chemical and biological means of death and destruction, the arsenal contained weapons for sound, color, symbolism, psychological, and other methods of control and manipulation of people. The military researched high-tech weapons to use on large populations, including powerful transmitters, microwaves and infra-red radar.

The U.S. was a one-stop supermarket for other nations to purchase miliary hardware, profiting arms makers and their favored politicians each in their own way. The Defense Security Assistance Agency sold $33 billion worth in 1993 alone. In 1998, 80 new fighter planes were sold to the tiny United Arab Emirates for $7 billion, and other major arms sales were made to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in the Middle East "tinder box". The government sent $3.2 billion in "subsidized arms sales" to Egypt in 1999. Technology to produce weapons was sold along with the weapons themselves, resulting in many smaller nations producing a variety of modern weapons and becoming new arms sellers.

The government encouraged South Africa to develop a chemical and biological warfare program in the early 1980's when that country's apartheid policy was being seriously challenged.

Americans were surprised in the 1990's to see former "enemy" troops in some parts of the country. Russian and East European forces wearing United Nations emblems appeared for exercises with their own helicopters and vehicles, raising questions regarding national sovereignty.

The U.S. was itself an armed camp with satellite armed camps throughout the world, under an unannounced and subtle program of world militarism at a high cost to American taxpayers.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, an adequate defense is seen as far less expensive and imposing on the world than militarism.

**************************************

Grievance 9 - Warmanship

U.S. military spending was misleadingly termed "defense" spending when, accurately, a very high percentage supported "offensive" operations around the world, as these grievances document to a candid world.

The War Department was renamed the Defense Department following World War II, but military spending remained on an upward swing. The Korea and Vietnam hot wars, and the Cold War with the Soviet bloc nations provided temporary excuses for spiraling budgets, but spending in the years following, in inflation-adjusted dollars, remained at the same level in the mid-1990's, for example, as in the early 1980's.

By 1998, the 12-month military budget ballooned to $270 billion of taxpayers funds, with a single F-117 bomber of the type shot down over Yugoslavia in 1999, costing $45 million. Costly research and development of secret weapons went unabated, and plans were advanced for a "Star Wars" system of missile defense/offense.

The government was a virtual automated war-spending machine. The House of Representatives approved one year's entire military budget in 22 minutes, with no "war" of any type, and no debate as to its need. Politicians of the major political parties indicated the war machine was good for their political future, and even added funds on top of military requests.

Large excess inventories of military equipment and supplies were piled up. Some military experts argued in vain that many weapons were not outmoded simply because of age, and that their life could be extended for less money than what was being spent on new equipment.

But the "military-industrial" complex, about which President Dwight Eisenhower warned in his Farewell Address in 1961, held immense power over the government as the war industry operators, investors, and other money interests reaped great profits from the taxpaying people at-large.

Retired Navy Vice Admiral John J. Shanahan said in 1995 that military power, or warmanship, should not be the centerpiece of U.S. policy in the world;

"Excessive reliance on military power undermines our world influence, diverts attention from important economic and social issues, and wastes our resources."

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals have the right to designate their tax percentage to programs of their choice.

****************************************

Grievance 10 - Warmakin

g The U.S. Constitution failed to place specific qualifications for mental fitness of a President, while giving him almost unlimited authority of life or death over people everywhere.

Author/researcher Ferdinand Lundberg, in "The Rich and the Super Rich", published in 1968, noted regrettably the President had unlimited constitutional power to raise armies, domestic or foreign, and to wage war;

"He could order an overnight assault against any country, thereby precipi- tating general war. He could, in full constitutionality, order all of the armed forces into the depths of the Congo and nobody coud legally halt the operation."

As if to make Lundberg's findings an actual legislated fact, Congress approved The War Powers Resolution of 1973 that said, in essence, that the President could engage the armed forces in warmaking and delay informing Congress for 48 hours before Congress could halt the action. Modern weapons, of course, could leave massive death and destruction in a fraction of the time allotted.

Intelligence researcher and author John Prados, in his 1986 book "Presidents' Secret Wars", told of covert, clandestine, paramilitary, and special operations, all euphemisms for secret warfare. The New York Times Book Review described the information as "important", and the Washington Post Book World said it was "worthy and informative", but Presidential warmaking powers remained in force.

A person could qualify for the office and powers of President more easily than obtaining a drivers license. No examination was required for holding this unprecedented power of a dictator, power that even top military chiefs who had to pass qualifying examinations for lesser positions did not have. A President had only to pass a popularity contest in votes.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the powers of government are decided by all individuals equally, and those who are given positions of responsibility are examined first for their mental fitness.

***************************************

Grievance 11 - Illegal Power

The U.S. Constitution failed to require the government to initiate amendment procedures when it wanted to change fundamental constitutional provisions.

A standout issue came to light in 1998 when "national security" documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that certain military commanders had been given power to engage in nuclear war without specific authority, or power of succession, in the Constitution.

From the time of President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950's, it was secret policy that some military commanders could become a "stand-in President" if there was a nuclear attack on the U.S., and the President, Vice President, and others in the constitutional line of succession could not be reached. Under such circumstancs, the commanders could respond with nuclear weapons on targets of their choice.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, constitutional provisions and procedures for change are powers reserved to the people, inviolable, and enforced.

*************************************

Grievance 12 - Subversion

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit the government from subverting other countries for the purpose of control and manipulation. Occurances of subversion took many forms in many lands as this and other grievences show to a candid world.

In the 1994 Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary, the definition of "subvert" includes a quote from former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger;

"...economic assistance...must subvert the existing...feudal or tribal order."

Economic subversion took place under a policy of assistance to "poor" nations. To do this, billions of American taxpayer dollars were given in "loans", including through the International Monetary Fund, making those nations subservient to economic manipulators with the power of debt write-off and currency control.

U.S. and other government finance officials of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations, plus Russia, met regularly to decide on subserving actions throughout the world, including involving gold prices and supplies. For all practical purposes, immense economic power was in the hands of a World Empire of money controllers and manipulators.

In violation of the United Nations Charter and international protocols, various sovereign nations were subverted by U.S. Secret Government led by the CIA with violent intent. Between 1960-65, there were eight conspiracies against Cuban President Fidel Castro under U.S. Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, the latter admitting to an aide, Leo Janos, that U.S. policy was deadly subversive;

"We had been operating a damned Murder, Inc. in the Caribbean."

President John F. Kennedy told Tad Szulc of the New York Times in November 1961 that he rejected repeated suggestions to authorize the murder of Castro. Some Secret Government operatives were upset with his refusal to give the go-ahead and plans were put into motion anyway, one of which was broken up in Havana by Cuban Intelligence.

Secret Government used guerrilla tactics to subvert Cuba, smuggling men, arms, equipment, and money onto the island by sea and air in numerous operations from U.S. bases. It also had the lead role in the failed 1961 "Bay of Pigs" invasion of Cuba from American soil, another incident in which Kennedy refused to cooperate. Kennedy, of course, was later assassinated and some alleged there was evidence of CIA complicity and subversion within the U.S. government.

In the 1990's, the U.S. committed American taxpayers to almost $100 million in one year to give direct military aid to at least three factions in Iraq to try to oust President Saddam Hussein. One plan called for the U.S. to train 10,000 Iraqi troops for a war against Saddam. U.S. warplanes were already attacking "air defense" sites inside Iraq in violaton of the UN Charter and international protocols.

In 1998, two U.S. "military advisers" were detained in Mexico's rebellious Chiapas state and accused of being there illegally. The government of Mexico said it disapproved of subversive "meddling" in its internal affairs.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, subversion of other nations is prohibited.

****************************************

Grievance 13 - Misrule

The U.S. Constitution failed to provide a true balance in government power for all individuals equally. As a result, oligarchical control and manipulation of the governent was made possible.

President Dwight Eisenhower, in his Farewell Address in 1961, warned of the conjunction of an "immense" military establishment and a large arms industry that could cause a serious imbalance of government power. While recognizing the need for an adequate defense, he said its potential was dangerous;

"In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military- industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

As these grievances show to a candid world, the rise of oligarchical power was evident as politicians approved huge budgets for the military-industrial complex and billions more for Secret Government, such as the CIA, creating what was eventually recognized by the Center for Defense Information and others as a three-pronged power center including "intelligence" agencies.

Ten years after Eisenhower's warning, Senator William Proxmire concluded Congressional hearings into the "military-industrial" aspect with a book, "Report from Wasteland", which was followed by many books including "Pentagon Capitalism" by Melman, and "The Military-Industrial Complex" by Koistenen, but the rise of misplaced power was never rectified for lack of a balanced constitutional foundation.

As the military-industrial-intelligence complex expanded its power and extended its influence beyond the U.S. with tax revenues and investor funds, it became the major player in creating an oligarchical World Empire .

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government power is balanced among all individuals equally by the right to vote on all principles, policies, and practices of government, as in a "direct democracy".

******************************************

Grievance 14 - Subjugation

The U.S. Constitution failed to protect the American people at-large from being subservient, and potentially enslaved, by international treaties;

Article VI - "This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land."

Former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in a speech before the American Bar Association in 1952, put it plainly;

"Treaty law can override the Constitution ...and can cut across the rights given the people by the constitutional Bill of Rights."

Presidential treaty-making power, even with "advice and consent" of a majority of the 100-member Senate, was disempowering of the people at-large whose government policies and constitutional guarantees could be in question in the hands of a little more than fifty individuals.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the people at-large are empowered to initiate and vote directly on all governmental questions, including treaties that may impinge on the constitution.

****************************************

Grievance 15 - Deception

The U.S. Constitution failed to provide for independent investigation and prosecution of government perpetrators of wrongdoing. The chief "law enforcement officer", the Attorney General, was appointed by the President and normally had close political ties to the same partisan interests, who could ignore serious allegations against people in government.

A prominent case of alleged government deception, with no Attorney General probe at the time, arose in 1941. Officials in Washington, D.C. were accused by two highly placed military leaders of withholding information that could possibly have at least reduced the death and destruction in the Japanese attack on U.S. military facilities in Hawai`i.

Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who was the commander at Pearl Harbor, learned that information known in Washington prior to the assault, was not given to him until long after, and he suggested a conspiracy behind it;

"To utilize the Pacific Fleet and the Army forces of Pearl Harbor as a lure for a Japanese attack without advising the Commander in Chief of the fleet and the commander of the Army base of Hawai`i is something I am wholly unable to comprehend."

The attack was the primary reason given by then-President Franklin Roosevelt for the U.S. to also engage in World War II in Europe.

Admiral William F. Halsey, who was in command of an aircraft carrier group returning at the time to Pearl Harbor from Wake Island, supported Kimmel in a personal letter;

"I have always felt that you were left holding the bag for something you did not know and could not control... had we been in possession of the 'magic` messages...the fleet would not have been in Pearl Harbor on that date."

The messages referred to were Japanese code transmissions which had been intercepted, showing that the Japanese military was being continually informed of U.S. warships in the harbor, and that the Japanese were particularly interested in the date of Sunday, December 7th, which was planned as the day of the attack.

More than 3,500 individuals were killed in the attack, but the alleged deception by government officials was never investigated for its legal implications by the Attorney General, or brought into a court of justice where guilt or innocence could be determined. Families of the deceased were powerless for recourse.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the U.S. Attorney General is elected, and removed, by a vote of the people at-large, with power to investigate and prosecute all alleged federal law violators inside as well as outside government.

***************************************

Grievance 16 - Defeasances

The U.S. Constitution failed to provide persons deprived of their legal rights with immediate and automatic recourse. The 1st Amendment provision for "redress of grievances" required a deprived party to "petition" the government that caused the annulment, and even then a case could be ignored without penalty against the individuals in government responsible for the action.

The most flagrant case of U.S. citizens being stripped of all of their constitutional "Bill of Rights" occured at the outset of World War II. About 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were arrested, taken from their homes and held under guard in "concentration camps" for several years as alleged "security risks". The right to a "speedy and public trial" was, in effect, nullified.

Almost 55 years after the war, it was learned that 2,200 Japanese citizens of Latin American countries were similarly interned in the U.S. at taxpayers expense, but the government never disclosed the reason for it.

American taxpayers were held responsible for "reparations" to all of the invalidated prisoners. $20,000 was paid to each American internee and $5,000 to each of the foreign internees who applied, for a total of $1.6 billion.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals in government are held directly liable for violating constitutional provisions, and complainants are guaranteed immediate processing of grievances by the Judiciary Branch.

*****************************************

Grievance 17 - Torture

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically provide that the government abide by its official agreements and hold violators in government legally responsible.

There were numerous violations of treaties throughout U.S. history beginning with American Indians, but few people were aware that their taxes paid for the torture of prisoners during World War II. Government records uncovered after the war disclosed that prisoners were tortured at a top secret facility in Byron Hot Springs, California, in violation of an International Agreement against such acts.

Army Provost Major General Allen W. Gullion, who had helped negotiate the treaty in 1929, protested the torture, which included experimental drugs, sleep deprivation, denial of medical treatment, and a swinging iron bar.

Under an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, cruel and inhumane treatment of anybody is unlawful, and an elected U.S. Attorney General is designated to investigate and prosecute alleged violators inside as well as outside government.

Grievance 18 - Concealment

The U.S. Constitution failed to require the government to obtain an independent judicial order before concealing information from the taxpaying public who paid for the salaries, the material and the time of government employees.

Administrative secrecy became so widespread that Congress approved the Freedom of Information Act to meet growing protests in the 1960's. It allowed public access to some records, but still only "on request" if applicants were fortunate enough to know exactly what they wanted to uncover. The Attorney General at the time, Ramsey Clark, made clear the challenge;

"If government is to be truly of, by and for the people, the people must know in detail the activities of govern- ment. Nothing so diminishes democracy as secrecy."

While Public Government information became somewhat more accessible, Secret Government (Grievance 2) continued to hide ALL information it desired behind such labels as "confidential", "sensitive", "secret", "top secret" and "cosmic top secret", which had no clear definitions by law and no time limitations.

Americans didn't learn until 34 years after the fact that the government plotted a lawless bombing of China's nuclear test facilities in 1964 to prevent China from becoming a nuclear power. Secret Government's National Security Adviser to President Lyndon Johnson, McGeorge Bundy, argued in favor of the attack, but other administration officials successfully opposed it after considerable debate.

Henry Kissinger, while holding the posts of National Security Adviser and Secretary of State at various times in the 1970's, met secretly with Chinese officials to give strategic U.S. intelligence information to China about military forces of the Soviet Union. Public disclosure of it came in 1999 only after a request was filed for the information, and long after the Soviet Union ceased to exist.

The government withheld documents for 30 years showing the CIA provided the Tibetan exile movement with $1.7 million yearly for operations against China, which had taken control of Tibet more than a decade earlier. It included payment of $180,000 for the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, all at taxpayers expense.

Many years after U.S.-backed Nicaraguan Contras were reported involved in drug trafficking in the 1980's, CIA Inspector General I. Britt Snider admitted the agency did not fully inform "oversight" committees of Congress;

"...CIA did not inform Congress of all allegations."

CIA complicity in drug trafficking, shown in other grievances, has remained officially hidden from American taxpayers, and Congress has not been required to review government withholding policies on an ongoing basis.

A Presidential directive in 1995 to declassify many "old" secrets exempted not only millions of documents withheld by Secret Government agencies, but ALL Federal Bureau of Investigation files.

President Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded the assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963, admitted later that he never believed the Warren Commission report that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing, and in 1979, a House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that there were two gunmen, and a conspiracy was involved, but concealment of much information continued.

Thirty years after the Kennedy assassination, Congress created the Assassination Records Review Board to identify and release documents that could provide more information. Four years later, the Board disclosed new testimony that a second set of autopsy photos existed that were never made public and still had not been located;

"One of the main tragedies of the assassination...has been the in- completeness of the autopsy record and the suspicion caused by the shroud of secrecy that has surrounded the records that do exist."

The review panel said the government had withheld "millions" of documents "needlessly and wastefully". Suspicion remained that a CIA-Mafia alliance was involved in the killing, and the Kennedy Library was still working 35 years after his death to have various government agencies release Kennedy's own files on the Mafia.

A half-century after World War II, Congress approved legislation to force open tens of thousands of documents concerning U.S. government use of Nazi war criminals in the Cold War against communism, but it was long after the American people at-large could take informed action on it.

Such examples of government concealment seemed far removed from ideals expressed by founders of the U.S., such as John Adams, the nations second President (1797-1801);

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people."

Government withholding of information is tantamount to keeping the people who pay for it in ignorance.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and upholding High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all government information is public information unless qualified otherwise by an independent court of justice.

***************************************

Grievance 19 - Extortion

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government from practicing extortion. While made illegal for private individuals, extortion became government policy in 1913 with "taxes on incomes" under the 16th Amendment..

Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter described the resulting government threats and intimidation as "enforced extortions".

The Constitution set no limit on how much the politicians in Congress could extort from the people at-large.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals act collectively in setting non-coercive and non-discriminatory tax policies.

**************************************

Grievance 20 - Lying

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit and penalize people on the taxpayers government payroll for lying.

Secret Government, such as the CIA, spent untold millions of dollars in spreading lies through mass media to control and manipulate public opnion and actions. Former CIA operatives disclosed that the agency paid money to people in the broadcast and print media to tell untruths and half-truths, and gave direct subsidies to certain magazine and book publishers to print them. Forged documents were commonly used to convince unaware media people of something Secret Government wanted the masses to believe.

In 1961, CIA Deputy Director Richard Helms deliberately lied to Congress in denying that the agency secretly supplied arms to Indonesia rebels who overthrew President Sukarno in a bloody revolution. Victor Marchetti, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director, later quit the agency over such practices; "Helms' testimony was released to the public with the approval of the CIA which was, in effect, targeting a propaganda operation against the American people."

From the founding of the U.S., there was evidence that numerous Presidents lied and intentionally misled the people at-large, leaving them disempowered to the extent of their deceptive statements. While providing impeachment "for treason, bribery, or other high crimes", the Constitution did not specifically require removal from office, censure, or other alternative penalty, for the damaging act of lying.

Government powerholders used taxpayers funds to hire defense attorneys and public relations aides, or "spin doctors", to help condition the mass consciousness for an unopposing attitude to lies.

A government attempt to make the 1950-53 north-south Korean war appear as a United Nations "police action" faded only after historians viewed casualty figures of 53,000 Americans dead, and thousands more physically or psychologically wounded. A "truce", but no peace treaty was signed which would admit to the conflict being a "war", and this served also as an excuse to station tens-of- thousands of American troops on the Korean peninsula indefinitely.

What was clearly "hostile military action", "international aggression" and "killing" in the U.S.-NATO air bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, was mislabeled by U.S. officials as an "air campaign to end ethnic cleansing" in Kosovo Province. The lie was in the avoidance of the term "war" to soften opposition.

Lies by government authorities regarding the Vietnam War, including the alleged Tonkin Gulf incident that was used as an excuse for U.S. aggression, are detailed elsewhere in these grievances to a candid world.

With an Authentic Constititution in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, people on the taxpayers payroll at all levels of government are held legally responsible for lying regarding government activities.

************************************

Grievance 21 - Brain Control

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit involuntary secret experiments to control and manipulate the human brain.

Through leaked information, it was learned that Secret Government experimented with brain control in top secret tests, including those known as MK-Ultra, MK-Delta, and MK-Chaos. The CIA admitted using 35,000 individuals, many unsuspecting, for hypnosis and trauma-based programming, drug alteration, electronic inhibition, and other experiments. Participaing in conducting the tests were former Nazi phsychiatrists who had worked in German concentration camps during World War II and who were brought to the U.S. under the governments Project Paper Clip.

The author of "Operation Mind Control", Walter Boward, said trauma-based programming worked on individuals who experienced a shock to the brain, and which could lead to abnormal behavior. A traumatized compartmentalized brain was regarded in psychoanalysis as a multiple-personality, or multiple disassociative disorder; "There are four different levels of personality, each with its own codes and triggers. And each level...can be assigned a different identity, such as smuggler, assassin, sex slave, etc."

To create an assassin, a traumatied brain could be programmed to act on command of a specific word, and then to forget the action. Hence, programming assassinations of political and religious leaders was possible, but verifying information regarding this was hidden behind "national security" labels.

With taxpayers funds, the CIA paid prostitutes to slip the psychoactive brain-altering drug LSD into drinks of their customers. Agents watched "wild" hallucinations from behind two-way mirrors, and one agent jumped to his death from a window after ingesting it.

Other brain control exriements included the use of powerful sound waves that could affect all life forms and whole populations at once.

With an Authentic Constitution in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals are protected from unwanted brain control and manipulation.

*****************************************

Grievance 22 - Brainwashing

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically protect Americans from indoctrination in a fixed set of beliefs by governmental agencies known as "public" schools and institutions.

The system produced a nation knowing little or nothing about its true behavior, as this and other grievances show to a candid world. As Michael Parenti noted in his book "Against Empire; Democracy for the Few", the educational system was brainwashing at worst, and a failure to develop an informed electorate at best;

"I graduated with a Ph.D. in political science from Yale University and was never told what my country was doing in the world."

The educational system lent itself to molding minds rather than opening them to the full spectrum of human reality and assisting each individual to develop fully in the manner of one's choosing. More emphasis was placed on the U.S. "wheel" than on the spokes that empowered it, creating a one-sided view of the world.

Individuals were denied the right to choose from diverse subjects most appropriate to their natural diverse propensity, desires and needs, as may be decided by themselves, or in free association with parents and advisers.

Curriculums were set from the top-down by governing boards, with students required to study certain subjects for "graduation", and only from textbooks written by authors approved by system operators. Subject matter that was not within the range of "normal" experience or scientifically explainable phenomena, was most often not a choice, a subtle form of brainwashing.

Academic research, education exchange programs, conferences and symposia were used for disinformation and misinformation purposes by such Secret Government agencies as the CIA. Special targets for covert education penetration included the National Student Association, the Asia Foundation, and the East-West Center.

The extent to which Secret Government pursued even indirect brainwashing tactics was evidenced in the spending of taxpayers funds to make thousands of subscriptions to the New York communist newspaper Daily Worker for several years in order to make it appear stronger than it was in fact.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government is barred from brainwashing tactics and individuals are empowered with free choice in education.

****************************************

Grievance 23 - Propaganda

Following World War II, the U.S. government deliberately set out to convince the people at-large that Soviet communism posed a threat to take control of the world. At the same time, it minimzed the fact that the communist system failed to provide the people under its dictatorial control, and who would supposedly conquer for it, with adequate food and other basic survival needs. The inaccurate and misleading U.S. doctrine served money controllers and manipulators.

Propaganda instilling fear was unrelenting in the 1950's, prompting many people to build underground shelters. School children were rehearsed in hiding under their desks, and the public practiced taking cover upon hearing monthly blasts of attack-warning sirens. Soviet bombast added to the fear with statements like "we will bury you", but went without basis in fact unless they wished to be buried also.

The "cold war" launched between the "free" west and communist east ensured large profits for war industries, the creation of a military-industrial-intelligence complex, about which President Dwight Eisenhower warned in his Farewell Address in 1961 as posing a great danger to American freedom, and greater taxpayer indebtedness to bankers who collected huge interest payments on loans for all the government spending.

Earlier, U.S. propaganda was clearly the concern of Army General Douglas McArthur;

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear, kept us in a continual stampede of patriotic fervor, with the cry of a grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been real."

Public Government propaganda was the opposite of fair and balanced presentation of facts. Even when labeled as "public relations" and "public information", it was intended to control and manipulate the people at-large in favor of its doctrine.

Secret Government, such as the CIA, engaged in disinformation and misinformation, a special type of propaganda requiring conspiratorial cover-ups by those on the taxpayers payroll who originated and disseminated false information through mainstream media.

One example was at the height of the Cold War in 1961 when Americans were told that the Solviet Union had many more missiles aimed at the U.S. than vice versa, only to learn decades later that the actual count was 98 to 35 in favor of the U.S.

Americans were propagandized by the government into believing Soviet military ground forces were large and growing after World War II, when in fact they were declining. Russian analyst Pavel Felgengauer said the Soviets focused instead on tactical nuclear weapons;

"The great Red Army was a myth created in the west.."

After communism failed in the Soviet and East European states at the beginning of the 1990's, an attempt to resurrect a new danger from Russia fell flat in 1995 when its ground forces were defeated by Chechen independence fighters. Knight-Ridder News Service reported from the Chechnya capitol of Grozny that dozens of Russian tanks were destroyed;

"The myth of Russia's military invincibility died in that catastrophic battle, weakened by internal dissent, poor morale, obsolete equipment and a near total lack of pre- paredness."

U.S. propaganda was ongoing to convince Americans of some new threat. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and China became targets, despite having far less combined military budgets than the U.S. and no aggressive alliance. Dire warnings that the U.S. needed to prepare for possible war with North Korea were followed by independent news reports that millions of North Koreans were dying of starvation in a "full scale famine", an internal condition unsupportive of the idea that its military forces would have the morale to fight for a fatally-flawed communist regime that produced such disaster, even if it had an adequate supply of food for itself, which was never shown.

Pushing "terrorist" propaganda openly in the 1990's, the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State attempted to instill fear of widespread attacks, even proclaiming a "war on terrorism" and launching missile attacks on alleged targets in sovereign countries, such as Sudan and Afghanistan, with no attempt to halt their alleged activities by lawful international procedures and institutions of justice.

For the people at-large, propaganda-for-profit was the true enemy.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, complete and objective reporting by government is a requirement.

*************************************

Grievance 24 - Coverup

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government secrecy and thereby disempowering the people at-large.

An unprecedented coverup began in 1947. Some Air Force officers at Roswell, New Mexico, reported that a "flying saucer" had crashed and physical evidence recovered. The story was reported by the United Press news service, but within hours the officers were told by their superiors in Washington, D.C. to say they had been mistaken, and that what they saw must have been something else. This became a coverup theme applied to many thousands of other sightings of unidentified flyng objects over ensuing years.

Behind the label of government "top secret", a covert control group in Washington was said to be managing the coverup of one of the world's most important and far-reaching stories of all time.

Fifty years after Roswell, and after decades of government investigations into personal experiences by responsible individuals in all walks of life and all around the world, many government files on the subject remained secret. Independent efforts to have them opened were blocked by courts that ruled the information would "jeopardize national security", and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hold a hearing on the denial.

U.S. Senator and reserve Air Force General Barry Goldwater attempted to verify reports that remains of extraterrestrials from the Roswell case were being held in Hangar 18, Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, but he was refused entry. Later, he said of the coverup;

"It was a damned mistake then and it's a damned mistake now."

U.S. warplanes were reported over the years to have encountered UFO's and tried to attack them, but without success, while engineers at the highly secret military "Area 51" in Nevada were reportedly engaged in back-engineering of spacecraft somehow obtained from extraterrestrials.

Britain's former Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, wrote in the foreword to Timothy Good's 1988 book "Above Top Secret" that the UFO coverup was real. He rejected the idea that all the sightings and personal encounters with ET's around the world were paranoramal experiences or attempts at publicity. If this was true, he said, why wouldn't all government files be open? And he rejected the idea that the objects were human creations;

"I am certain that were such technology in actual use anywhere on earth it would have surfaced either in war, or perhaps more likely in industry."

The Admiral said there was no reason why government would not simply acknowledge the technology exists if it was of human origin;

"There have been major investigations lasting thirty or forty years by the governments of the USA, Russia and France for certain, and probably Britain and other countries. At the end of it all today, we had no hard OFFICIAL infor- mation to weigh against some hundreds of books on the subject by private indi- viduals or groups of individuals. I claim the charge that there is a coverup is thereby proved."

U.S. Army Command Sergeant-Major Robert Dean, who had Cosmic Top Secret clearance and studied the UFO files of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the 1960's before retiring, reported the study came to some basic conclusions;

1. UFO's are real. 2. UFO's come from several highly advanced civilizations. 3. UFO's pose no threat.

A well-respected medical doctor, Steven Greer, who headed the non-governmental Committee for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, told government leaders of several nations in 1998 that the group had made direct contact with ET's, and he asked Congress to hold open hearings for testimony to show that earth's visitors had only peaceful intentions, even regarding "abductions".

There were references to strange airborne objects dating back centuries. In about 1710, the Flemish painter Aert de Gelder depicted a disc-shaped airborne object emitting beams of light on a scene he titled "The Baptism of Christ", a work still being displayed in 1993 at the Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge, England.

Some Christian Bible scholars interpreted the Prophet Ezekiel as referring to extraterrestrials and spacecraft in his writings;

"...and the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God...And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire unfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man."

The only mystery about UFO's was why government continued to deny their existence unless, as some alleged, there was collusion between some powerful human elements and some extraterrestrials for mutual benefits involving control.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government secrecy is prohibited.

*******************************************

Grievance 25 - Dictatorship

In early American history, the power of the U.S. President and Executive Branch was viewed as constitutionally balanced by legislative and judicial branches. As the Constitution stated, for example, Congress had the power to "declare war" and the President was "Commander in Chief" of the armed forces. Since the Constitution did not specify that the President became Commander in Chief only AFTER war was declared, it became evident the President could act independent of the people's representatives in Congress in the manner of a dictatorship.

The President could even suspend the Constitution, impose martial law, and effectively become an absolute ruler. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln assumed autocratic power to suspend the Constitution's Bill of Rights and, backed by military force, curbed riots against military induction. Articles 1 and 2 of the Constitution granted presidential power to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution", and to see that the laws were "faithfully executed", and it was on this implied authority that Lincoln acted.

During President Franklin D. Roosevelt's early years in office, autocratic "executive orders" were used to prevent private depositors from withdrawing their money from banks to save the institutions from losses during an economic depression. With dictatorial power he also suspended the constitution to imprison Americans of Japanese descent and other foreigners during World War II, denying them fair trial.

With prompting by "national security advisers" who normally were connected with "Secret Government" (see Grievance 2), various Presidents issued and published in the Federal Register powers of a dictatorship for possible future use;

1. Takeover of communications media. 2. Takeover of electric power, petroleum, gas, fuels and minerals. 3. Takeover of food resources and farms. 4. Takeover of all modes of transportation, highways, seaports, etc. 5. Mobilize civilians for work brigades. 6. Takeover of health, education and welfare functions. 7. Registration of all individuals by the Postmaster General. 8. Takeover of airports and aircraft. 9. Relocation of populations. 10. Takeover of railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

President Jimmy Carter combined such powers in Executive Order 12148, under the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In 1998, President Bill Clinton issued a "Presidential Decision Directive" that created an office of National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure and Counter-terrorism that was never clearly justified constitutionally in view of Justice Department responsibilities of the Judiciary Branch.

In the absence of specific constitutional prohibitions, Presidential power was seldom questioned in Congress and rarely challenged at the Supreme Court level.

With an Authentic Constitution in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government Principles, Powers, Practices and Penalties are in the hands of all individuals equally, working collectively.

*****************************************

Grievance 26 - Disempowerment

The U. S. Constitution gave no power to the American people at-large to initiate constitutional changes directly. Such power was reserved to federal and state politicians under Article V; "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the States, shall call a convention for proposing Amendments."

Nor could the people at-large initiate and decide legislation, or vote by referendum on issues submitted to them by Congress.

The people at-large were also disempowered by failure of the Constitution to specifically limit the President's power to enact defacto law by Executive Orders, Directives, and Sanctions, that usurped the constitutional power of Congress as set forth in Article 1, Section 1;

"All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

The people at-large had no constitutional power to remove the President from office prior to expiration of a constitutionally mandated four-year term. Such authority was reserved to politicians in Congress "on impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and misdemeanors", but not for lack of confidence, trust, or other considerations.

Powerful government positions were relatively insulated from the people at-large by the length of elective terms; President & Vice President - four years, Senator - six years, Representative - two years, with office holders removable at mid-term only by a costly and cumbersome process of "recall" elections. By contrast, the U.S. Supreme Court decided critical constitutional issue in less time, and Criminal Court juries often spent less time in deciding questions of life and death.

The Constitution further disempowered the people at-large under Article II, whereby state-appointed "presidential electors" could over-ride the popular vote and install somebody else in the highest office in the land.

The "representative form" of government favored an oligarchical element of power controllers and manipulators and served to disempower the people at-large from the lawmaking and governing process of government.

The percentage of voting-age Americans who cast ballots for President fell from 69.3 percent in 1984 to 54.2 percent in 1998 when the vote-winning candidate assumed office with about 25 percent of the eligible vote.

In 1992, fifty-six politicians quit Congress, prompting Representative Vin Weber, of Minnesota, to observe;

"We are in a decaying spiral of public confidence. The public does not trust the institutions, they do not trust the political parties."

All Americans could be totally disempowered by elimination of the Constitution altogether. Such a thing was possible through a process involving a mere handful of politicians, including the President and some Senators, under Article VI;

"...all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States shall be the Supreme Law of the land..."

And under Article II Section 2;

(The President) "shall have power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur..."

The American people at-large had no direct power to approve or reject treaties that literally could eliminate what they had been led to believe was a great democratic document protecting their "rights".

With an Authentic Constitution in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all individuals are empowered equally to vote on the Principles, Policies and Programs of their government.

***************************************

Grievance 27 - Abuse

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically require government agencies to show cause in an independent Court of Justice for (1) being armed, and (2) INITIATING physical force.

Among armed agencies that had caused wrongful death, injury, destruction of property, violation of civil rights, and confiscation of property, were the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco and Firearms, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Government abuses were blamed on mistaken identity, unreliable informants, overzealous agents, poor judgement and training, and violation of administrative procedures, or of law.

In 1993, the FBI mandate of investigative police work seemed to be surpassed when it attacked with military-type tanks and other weapons the Branch Davidian residential complex at Waco, Texas, killing all 85 men, women and children inside.

The FBI assault came after the BATF had gone to the complex to search for "illegal" weapons and began a shootout with the Davidians that killed six of the residents and four agents. No attempt had been made to detain or question Davidian leader David Koresh on his many walks to the food market prior to the violence.

In 1992, the BATF accused anti-government activist Randy Weaver, of Ruby Ridge, Idaho, of selling an illegal sawed-off shotgun, and when he refused to answer a court summons, sent 100 agents to his cabin. His wife, baby daughter, 14-year old son and a federal marshal were shot to death in an ensuing seige that was later determined to be a wrongful act by the agency.

Thirty years after the fact, the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the FBI wrongfully acted in a political manner when it tried to have University of California-Berkeley President Clark Kerr fired during a rebellious 1960's student free-speech movement.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary confirmed that government scientists exposed inmates of infirmaries to long periods of radiation to test the effects. The government said it obtained the victim's consent, but O'Leary admitted nearly all were mentally retarded, illiterate, or aged and unable to grasp what was happening.

A Times/CNN poll in the mid-1990's found 52 percent of Americans questioned were deeply concerned about these and many other abuses of government power;

"The federal government has become so powerful that it poses a threat to the rights and freedoms of its citizens."

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all government employees, particularly armed agents, are held personally responsible for conduct that violates the Principles, Policies and Practices as the people at-large may set forth in Law.

*************************************

Grievance 28 - Harrassment

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically prohibit all government interference and direct involvement with non-violent civilian political activity.

The First Amendment prohibited Congress from making any "law" that would interfere with freedom of the people to speak and assemble, but it did not preclude "administrative" actions by government agencies that could interfere, nor did it stipulate that individuals in government were to be held liable for acts contrary to it. Consequently, government agencies were sometimes reprimanded for unconstitutional acts, but individuals perpetrating them in most cases escaped criminal prosecution.

The FBI admitted in 1967 that it had a counter intelligence program known as "Cointelpro" designed to offensively halt political activism for change, in apparent disregard for its mandate of investigative police work involving interstate or federal crimes. The self-assigned political involvement of Cointelpro was clear;

"...to disrupt, misdirect, isolate and neutralize..."

There were numerous FBI targets, among which were such non-violent groups as Earth First, an environmental organization. The agency compiled the names, addresses, places of employment, physical descriptions and political relationships of hundreds of people who had merely received phone calls from the group.

In 1990, Earth First members Judi Bari and Daryl Cherney were driving through Oakland, California, enroute to recruit people for a campaign to save the Redwood Forests, when a pipe bomb exploded in their car, inflicting serious injuries on them. FBI agents told police at the scene that the couple was dangerous;

"...the types of people who would be involved in carrying a bomb...these people in fact qualified as terrorists."

Bari and Cherney claimed the bomb had been planted in their car. Just one month before the incident, the FBI had conducted a "bomb school" for law enforcement personnel on the forested land where Earth First members had earlier chained themselves to trees. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous ruling;

",,,the FBI agents intended to interfere with Bari and Cherney's First Amendment rights to demonstate and communicate their message about the environment."

But the physical injury and constitutional violation had already occured, and there was no serious investigation by the FBI into the origin of the bomb, or whether law enforcement agents were involved in planting it. Compensation for damages is unlikely when law enforcement agencies don't cooperate in gathering evidence of wrongdoing.

An AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, prohibits harassment or infringement of non-violent civilian political activity, and provides for possible prosecution and personal liability of violators inside government as well as outside.

***************************************

Grievance 29 - Spying

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically restrict government agencies from unlawful activities, and to hold violators personally responsible for their actions, as was the case in the private sector.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, established within the U.S. Justice Department in 1924, was initially restricted to investigate violations of Federal Laws, but in 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt verbally authorized the FBI to spy on political activitists who were within their legal rights. In the ensuing years, it engaged in illegal wiretaps, mail openings, and break-ins, and infiltrated numerous groups having opposing views from prevailing U.S. doctrine. Nobody in the agency was ever brought to justice.

Maquette University history professor Athan Theoharis stated in his 1978 book "Spying on Americans" that the problem worsened after World War II with the start of the Cold War;

"Obsessed over the possibility of foreign-directed espionage and subversion, increasingly after 1945 congressional and public opinion leaders accepted the expansion of the FBI's, CIA's and NSA's surveillance role."

Internal memo's indicated illegal activites by the agencies, but they were overlooked by the Presidentially-appointed head of the Justice Department, the Attorney General, and more than one President used the agencies for personal political gain. Reform was unlikely, and prosecution by the AG was most remote.

Boston University historian Robert Dailek said President Lyndon Johnson had the FBI wiretap his Vice President, Hubert Humphrey, in 1968, to obtain his private views on the Vietnam War.

Former FBI Associate Director William Sullivan confessed upon reviewing the record in 1975 that fundamental questions of right and wrong were never raised in regard to spying;

"During the ten years I was on the (internal security) board, never once did I hear anybody, including myself, raise the question `is this course of action which we have agreed upon lawful, is it legal, is it ethical, is it moral?"

In the 1990's, the FBI, like Secret Government agencies before it, established operations in foreign countries, including Russia, in a self-expanding role that fit into President George Bush's description of a "new world order", and added another spy agency to the foundation of a World Empire.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government agents are prosecuted for illegal activity.

Grievance 30 - Land Confiscation

The U.S. Constitution provided no automatic specific means to guarantee Americans equal treatment under the law.

In communities across the country, various government agencies forcefully took land from lawful owners and awarded its use to others for "redevelopment", including residential and commercial property.

In some instances, uncooperative residents were removed from their homes by armed agents, and structures they had lived in for many years were demolished by bulldozer.

In a typical commercial case, a government agency took legal steps to force the owners of a small long-established cafe to sell to the agency at a "fair price" in order that it, in turn, could sell to other interests for construction of a pizza restaurant and gasoline station.

Playing on the emotion of "civic pride" and promoted by media, redevelopment programs were a boon to commercial interests that forced improvements for their own benefit through the corrupted power of government agencies.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all individuals are guaranteed equal treatment under the laws enacted by the people at-large, and government is barred from giving favor to one commercial interest over another.

*****************************************

Grievance 31 - Intrusion

The U.S. Constitution failed to secifically require agents of government to show in a Court of Justice "Probable Cause" in stopping, questioning, investigating, keeping records, or otherwise intruding on an individuals personal behavior.

The right of an individual to control one's own body was not specifically protected. Human laws of various kinds were enacted that impinged on private conduct that in any case was governed by higher laws, such as Cause & Effect, or karma. Without judgement as to right or wrong, public laws against ingestion of substances deemed "harmful", suicide, and mother-induced expulsion of a fetus from the womb (abortion), were intrusive to personal actions affecting no separate individual.

Legally-required wearing of seat belts and safety helmets to save public costs incurred by possible injury, was a common intrusion into personal conduct that could be covered by licensing fees.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals have an unalienable right to govern their own bodies, so long as the rights of other individuals are not infringed.

*******************************************

Grievance 32 - Collusion

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government agencies from joint operations and agreements that deceived the American taxpayers of illegal activity, and to specifically protect disclosurers on the inside.

While the government issued denials, numerous newspapers, magazines and independent researchers reported on arms and drug operations that involved both U.S. and Israeli agents. On December 14, 1987, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that a CIA pilot, Barry Seal, had used the Mena, Arkansas airport as a drop-off point for drugs flown from Central America. The newspaper said the Internal Revenue Service had seized Seal's assets after he disclosed the truth, and that he was later found slain. The report said federal officials interfered in local law enforcement investigation of the drug operation. Six months later, the newspaper reported that a former military investigator gave a sworn deposition claiming that he engaged in drug-smuggling and gun-running with the consent of both the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In a 1994 book titled "Compromised; Clinton, Bush and the CIA", Terry Reed gave an eye-witness account of the Mena operation.

On October 18, 1994, the Wall Street Journal reported that an IRS investigator documented drug profits and money "laundering" in Arkansas. The agent also said the U.S. Justice Department wanted him to lie to a grand jury.

Time Magazine reported that CIA facilities in Venezuela were used to store l,000 kilos of cocaine headed for the U.S., and Nation Magazine reported the CIA helped put drug cartel leaders in power in Bolivia in 1980.

Former U.S. Navy pilot, veteran commercial airline pilot, and Federal Aeronautics Administration investigator, Rodney Stich, published a detailed expose' of government collusion in "Defrauding America" in 1993. Former "deep cover" CIA and DEA operatives came forward to Stich after he earlier published government coverups that he had officially investigated involving airline crashes caused by equipment failure, but blamed on "pilot error";

"Federal officials covered up...serious violations of important federal air safety requirements by (the airline) management, and the record-falsification associated with the practice."

Stich detailed the "October surprise" coverup which altered the 1980 Presidential election, the Iran-Contra arms for drugs deal, and collusion with the Israeli Mossad.

Stich's attempts to bring documented evidence of collusion to the attention of the judicial, executive and legislative branches of government were rejected, often under mysterious circumstances.

Government disclosurers, or "whistleblowers", often had their lives, or the lives of their families threatened for making public disclosure of wrongdoing.

In the 1992 Presidential election, Third Party candidate Ross Perot promised not to use the drugs and arms smuggling issues in his campaign against Clinton and Bush, forestalling complete nationwide disclosure of the truth and any possible complicity. Clinton was Arkansas Governor and Bush, a former CIA Director, was Vice President at the time of the Mena drug operation.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, disclosurers of alleged collusion or other wrongdoing in government are fully protected, and investigation and prosecution is ongoing.

*****************************************

Grievance 33 - Unequal Treatment

The U.S. Constitution failed to set down in constitutional Law the principle of equal rights for all individuals. Even the Declaration of Independence, as the forerunner to the Constitution, was flawed; "We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal..."

"Women" were, therefore, unequal. Moreover, the founding Constitution was absent of guaranteeing the equality of females of all races, and both males and females of the black race, which translated in common practice to "ownership", or enslavement, by white men. American history books were replete with details of much inhumanity, and the tribulation that finally resulted in enactment of federal laws attempting to correct the constitutional flaw.

Reverse inequality was later seen in governmental policies that gave preferential, or unequal, treatment to racial groups that were still discriminated against, but the reverse discrimination was an ongoing political issue for lack of constitutional finality.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the legal rights of all individuals are protected equally.

*****************************************

Grievance 34 - Killing

The U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights set forth an imprecise provision on the matter of the death penalty for crimes;

Article VIII - "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

Punishment by death, then made legal by federal and some state governments for certain crimes, was not regarded as excessive even to religionists who, while declaring the nation's roots were in the Bible, evaded the clear contradiction and violation of the precise Commandment "Thou shalt not kill".

Great debates occurred over whether the threat of taking a criminals life was a deterrent against crime by others, but it was never proven statistically. Most often, the act of murder was an emotional outburst of the moment, and many prominent people such as The Dalai Lama argued against it;

",,,it is always possible for criminals to improve and that by its very finality, the death penalty contradicts this."

A fundamental contradiction of the death penalty, the act of a collective group calling itself "government" taking a human life, was that the same group made it illegal for an individual to do so, even as punishment, which was an illogical double-standard from the perspective of conscience.

Entering the 21st century, growing numbers of people regarded killing of human beings under any circumstances as a mark of an unsophisticated, revengeful, spiritually-dead and negative society, with no hope for human correction and, therefore, unworthy of calling itself civilized.

Historically, a government ban on the death penalty would have saved such leaders as Jesus and Socrates, as well as many common individuals over the centuries who were later found to be innocent of the crime for which they were killed.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the life of all separately-functioning human beings is protected, and criminals are confined until corrected.

**************************************

Grievance 35 - Health Threats

The U.S. Constitution failed to provide specific standards for clean air, water and soil to protect life. As a result, the entire environment, from space to subsurface, deteriorated from widespread government and private development and discharge of harmful substances.

Tons of debris from various government space programs, ranging in size fom a head of lettuce to refrigerators, orbited the planet in whirling junkyards that threatened collision with space shuttles, satellites, and other useful technology. Re-entry into Earth's atmosphere posed a problem to the point space-trash pickup service was considered after just 40 years of launchings.

Surface air pollution could be seen everywhere by orbiting astronauts, and official studies found the worst was in Los Angeles, Mexico City, Jakarta, Moscow, Beijing, Cairo and Sao Paulo. Surface air quality worsened with rising levels of gases, mostly carbon dioxide, caused mainly from burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal, but also including such things as burning used rubber tires. CO2 was known to stay in the atmosphere from 50 to 200 years. U.S carbon dioxide emissions rose eight percent between 1989-95, and more than 3 1/2 percent in 1996 alone. Industry that depended on traditional energy sources waged expensive political battles against stronger emission controls.

Health-damaging chemicals were in everyday use and entering the human food chain through plants, animals, and water. While acknowledging that food was contaminated with toxins that kill insects and can cause human problems, government agencies argued that the economic well-being of farmers was of equal concern. Farmers using antibiotics in chickens, cattle and fruit orchards created drug-resistant germs that showed up in common foods.

Chemicals sprayed on farm crops remained trapped in the atmsphere, posing a health threat to millions of people even miles away. The government sprayed marijuana crops with chemicals intended to kill plants, and the airborne toxins spread over wide areas on the wind affecting the health of unknown numbers.

Dairy waste was illegally polluting water resources, gasoline fuel additives poisoned drinking water and were blamed for cancer, and once crystalline fishing waters harbored deadly PCB's, waste oils, and diesel-fuel additives that contaminated sea food.

Navy sources spilled thousands of gallons of fuel, lubricating oil, and other pollutants in American waters on the average of every two days between 1990-97 while being exempt from restrictions imposed on commercial vessels.

The advent of nuclear weapons and nuclear power created new environmental hazards. Author Stephen I. Schwartz disclosed in his 1998 book "Atomic Audit" that eleven U.S. nuclear bombs which could not be retrieved after air crashes over 50 years posed a long-term danger of radiation leaks.

Government nuclear test explosions released deadly radiation both above and below ground surface. There were 925 nuclear weapons tests by the U.S. from the beginning of the nuclear age in the 1940's to 1990, including on humans, and 204 were secret. Newsweek Magazine reported the testing in its December 27, 1993 issue; "For years the Pentagon and the Atomic Energy Commission were conducting all manner of secret tests--from releasing clouds of radiation into the atmosphere in a determined attempt to build bigger and better bombs, to irradiating the testicles of prison inmates in order to find out how much would cause sterility."

Cleaning up nuclear sites was an additional burden on taxpayers. For Oakridge, Tennessee alone, the estimate was up to $3 billion and many years.

While expressing concern about nuclear proliferation, the U.S. hosted scientists from other nations at its development facilities, including 814 from India and 30 from Pakistan between 1994-96, two years before those countries began their own test explosions. Not all governments in possession of nuclear weapons were willing to sign treaties banning tests and proliferation.

The threat of nuclear radioactivity also came from peaceful uses. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union exploded sending at least eight tons of poison around the world on the planetary jetstream, assuring illness, disfigurement and possible death for unknown numbers of all life forms. The radiation was blamed for ill effects ten years after the explosion, and fuel rods containing uranium were stolen from the site posing an additional threat.

Impending meltdowns at hundreds of nuclear power plants, and the dumping of tons of radioactive waste that could contaminate food, water and air, was a constant health threat. Dangerous nuclear waste piled up at the rate of 2,000 tons per year at 72 power plants in the U.S., and the nuclear power industry sued the government for taxpayers funds to pay for maintenance of their highly dangerous dumps.

Nuclear-powered U.S. warships were dubbed "floating Chernobyl's" in the wake of several serious accidents aboard some vessels.

Seventy two pounds of plutonium, the toxic radioactive metal used as the nuclear explosive in warheads, was launched by the U.S. aboard the Cassini space probe to Saturn in 1998. Medical research told of plutoniums danger;

"Plutonium lives for 500,000 years and is so toxic that one-millionth of a gram is carcinogenic."

More than 30 years after plutonium from the government laboratory at Livermore, California, ended up in a soil additive, health investigators tried to locate the hot spots. Soil given away in 1967 to city parks and private property owners contained radioactive sewage from the lab.

The birthplace of plutonium, a government facility in Berkeley, California, drew strong opposition to its ongoing research. Among the opposition leaders was Dale Nesbitt, who was employed as an engineer at the governments Lawrence National Laboratory;

"Since we have created this absolute monstrosity which can still destroy all life on this planet, Berkeley also ought to be a place where we stop it."

Scientists tried to make radioactive waste harmless by using nuclear accelerators to change the atom and, thus, not have to "send it into space", or bury it five miles below the Earth's surface with no relief from health threats or unending dumping costs.

The U.S. operated an "Atoms for Peace" program in which some nations were provided with highly enriched uranium, and their waste was brought back for storage in the U.S. The shipments were highly secret.

Trash at the Hanford, Washington city dump was found to be radioactive from contact with ants, flies, gnats and rodents from the 560 square mile Hanford nuclear complex that produced plutonium for 40 years. The complex became highly radioactive, requiring billions of taxpayers dollars for cleanup.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the people at-large vote on standards for clean air, water and soil.

************************************

Grievance 36 - Vote Fraud

The U.S, Constitution, while posing a "representative form" of government, failed to establish specific procedures to ensure integrity of the voting system and protect the nation against fraudulent powerholders.

Charges of election-stealing were frequent throughout the nation's history, including the first election in which Lyndon B. Johnson became a member of Congress from Texas, a position that launched him on the road to the Presidency. The contest was reported close enough for a recount, but the ballots were allegedly destroyed in a deliberately set fire.

In 1996, the non-governmental Virginia-based Voting Integrity Project investigated an election in Louisiana in which the U.S. Senate seat was decided by a vote margin of 5,788 out of 1.7 million cast;

"Probable cause exists to believe that large scale violations of federal and state law have occured. The most serious include the purchasing of votes, multiple voting, and the casting of fraudulent votes."

The "losing" candidate was ahead by 95,000 votes outside New Orleans when the polls closed, but 70 of the city's 474 voting precincts had not reported their tallies even two hours after closing, When they finally reported, they gave the opposing candidate 100,000 votes to win.

Under Louisiana law, computer voting machines were to be opened later for election "observers" and the totals verified, but the machines had been opened before they were allowed to view them. Independent investigators learned that 1,380 votes were cast by "residents" of a public housing project regarded officially as vacant.

U.S. law required states to allow people to sign as voters by mail or at various unsupervised locations. An investigative reporter tested the system with 25 bogus voter applications containing false names, addresses and dates of birth, to government registrars and 20 were accepted. A common complaint everywhere was that deceased voters names were being used by imposters. With introduction of computer voting machines, there were numerous challenges regarding possible pre-programming for desired results.

In the heat of politcally partisan elections and with great power to be gained, fraudulent scenarios were reported throughout the nation from time to time. Enforcement of federal laws against vote fraud was in the hands of partisan political interests. The U.S. Attorney General and regional U.S. Attorneys who were designated to prosecute federal law violations, were themselves appointed to the posts by the winners of potentially fraudulent elections.

The integrity of a voting system is paramount to the integrity of a government "of the people, by the people, for the people". Essential backup for verification of computer machines, for example, would include hand-ballots with fingerprints and telephones with voiceprint technology. but none was in place as the 20th century passed into history.

Under an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, specific procedures are set forth to ensure the integrity of each persons vote on all governmental principles, policies and practices, and prosecution of law violations is the responsibility of a verifiably elected U.S. Attorney General.

*************************************

Grievance 37 - Controlling

The U.S. Constitution failed to protect Americans from the government being controlled by "special interests", a news media euphemism for forces that capitalized on the political system to gain self-serving benefits. The forces became an oligarchy of controllers and manipulators of government power in the U.S. and beyond.

The nation had a long history of domestic and foreign actions carrying out primarily the desires of organized money and labor elements, that were widely researched, documented and reported on almost a daily basis, and brought forward among these Grievances to a candid world.

Most prominent among the money elements in the 20th century was the Rockefeller family empire. From its oil roots in the 1800's, it also mastered banking and finance, and placed its representatives in influential government appointive positions, as well as in elective offices.

The best illustration of the money element coming together to control power was evidenced in New York banker David Rockefeller's formation and funding in 1973 of the "Trilateral Commission". He selected some 200 financially powerful like-thinkers from North America, Western Europe and Japan to solidify economic and political activities of the three regions, setting precedent for a World Empire of controllers and manipulators.

Among the first to be invited to join the Trilateral organization were top executives of Exxon, Shell, Caterpillar Tractor, Texas Instruments, Sony, Hitachi, Toyota and Fiat. Bankers included representatives from Barclay's Bank, Harriman and Company, Bank of Tokyo, Continental Illinois National Bank, and Bank of America. To support the money interests publicly, media representatives were invited from the most powerful publications in the U.S., the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times and Time Magazine.

Among the aims of some money interests was elimination of democratic processes for international trade agreements. They sought to get around normal Senate debate with "fast track" lawmaking by Presidential directive. Such control, of course, would hand power to a single person to profit political supporters and punish enemies.

Also facilitating control by money interests internationally were such treaties as the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was not free trade in fact, but fixed trade for certain beneficiary's. Free trade, whereby people buy and sell whatever, whenever and wherever they choose, is absent of government authority or qualification in any way, a most natural activity barred by government.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, control of government is in the hands of all individuals equally by the democratic process of one-person, one-vote on all policies and programs.

*************************************

Grievance 38 - Oppression

The U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights failed to clearly define boundaries for private property leading to charges of unjust use of government power.

Besides grievances of personal privacy invasion posted elsewhere to a candid world, emotional debate revolved around the U.S. flag with demands that an Amendment to the Constitution be ratified that would ban burning the emblem as a protest against the government. The question of whether individuals had the right to destroy their private property on privately-owned land was lost in the dispute over what the flag was intended to represent.

Restaurant and bar owners complained that government banning of smoking on their premises was another form of oppression, especially in those cases where patrons had no complaint and even defied the ban.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Anti- Cigarette League of America lobbied some city and state politicians to outlaw the private use of "coffin nails", which became private property at purchase, and the laws were later repealed as unworkable. Prohibition of liquor was likewise a failure, as noted elsewhere.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals rights, including what comprises private property, are clearly defined.

*************************************

Grievance 39 - Criminalizing

The U.S. Constitution failed to protect Americans from government's criminalizing and discriminatory laws regarding toxic products, and their freedom to ingest them, even if harmful.

The government waged "war" against alcohol in the early part of the 20th century, and then against marijuana after losing the first. Alcohol "prohibition" beginning in 1920 resulted in a widespread illegal industry operated by people who garnered huge profits by secretly manufacturing and selling alcohol products to consumers who did not secretly produce their own. Many city streets became unsafe as "gangs" battled for control of territory to sell it. When the ban was repealed in 1933, there were self-made millionaires ready to do legitimate business, and politicians came under their influence to decriminalize it.

A few years later, the government began a propaganda war against a competitor of alcohol, marijuana. The government film "Reefer Madness" attacked the smoking of the drug and it was made illegal with no evidence that it was physically harmful or a danger to others. Alcohol, on the other hand, was known to be harmful not only to users, but also to other people. It was a factor in 75 percent of personal abuse cases, and a contributor to high percentages in incest, rape, murder, robbery and auto accidents.

By the 1980's, the "war on drugs" included the use of military units in attacking marijuana fields, sometimes with toxic sprays, and raids on methamphetamine laboratories in homes and cars. Streets were again unsafe as gangs battled over territory to sell drugs of all kinds at inflated blackmarket prices, and Secret Government (Grievance 2) complicity in the multi-billion dollar illegal drug operations was disclosed by CIA and other informers. Some drug users were lured into becoming criminal suppliers in order to locate and arrest more suspects. $97 million of taxpayers funds was paid to informers in 1993 alone.

A Cato Institute study found that criminalized drug users with no prior record were sentenced to one year longer in jail, on average, than violent criminals. A Federal Judicial Center report in 1994 said 70 percent of prison population growth over the previous nine years was attributable to lengthy drug sentences. Jails overflowed and prison construction became a major taxpayers expense.

Repeat drunk driving offenders, meantime, were still driving, as in the case of a five-time loser who struck and killed a four year old child. A U.N. meeting on drugs in 1998, involving about 150 countries, was assessed by Ethan Nadelmann, director of the Lindesmith Center, a private drug policy research institute;

"The U.N. drug summit is perhaps the biggest pep rally ever in the failed war on drugs."

Mike Gray, author of "Drug Crazy; How We Got Into This Mess and How We Can Get Out", said the drug war resulted in trampling American rights;

"To break up what is essentially a private transaction, they inevitably have to resort to some subterfuge that will trample the Constitution, whether it's turning your kid into a junkie or splintering your front door without bothering to knock, or forcing you to the pavement because you happen to be an African-American male."

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, an individuals free choice is protected to ingest even harmful products, while others have the right to protect themselves from all offensive behavior.

***************************************

Grievance 40 - Intimidation

The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically protect Americans from government operating by secret, illegal or improper means, including to fund itself. Senate hearings in 1997 revealed how the Internal Revenue Service intimidated and caused anguish and injury to many Americans innocent of any criminal act, while operating on a policy contrary to American jurisprudence that instilled widespread fear.

Beginning in 1913, under Article XVI of the Constitution, that some claim was never legally approved, the government imposed a small tax on personal income that was raised over ensuing years to as much as 45 percent in some cases, with the IRS designated as the collection agency. By 1996, the agency was collecting $7.3 billion to finance itself for one year, plus $1.7 trillion for the remainder of government, and abuse of taxpayers was common. Senate Finance Committee Chairman William Roth said the system was not healthy;

"The income tax is losing the confidence of the American people."

Roth noted that even internal audits found serious fault with its operations;

"...a stunning confession of the sins of the IRS."

The IRS Operators Manual, a secret document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act in the 1970's, was highly censored. The many deleted sections raised suspicion of tactics that could bring strong criticism and force changes. In 1997 alone, the agency admitted to 10,000 property seizures with one in four conducted improperly.

Income tax laws grew complicated with tax breaks, and IRS answers to taxpayer inquiries were often inconsistent. Many taxpayers felt it necessary to hire professional help out of fear that the agency would impose fines, plus interest, even for honest errors.

Politicians added deception to the IRS process. Through added fines and interest totalling $18.3 billion in 1996, Congress avoided directly raising taxes on income for added revenue.

In Senate hearings, IRS agent and "whistleblower" Jennifer Long disclosed some of the internal operations;

"I have actually witnessed IRS manage- ment manipulate income tax return figures just to increase their office or division collection statistics...(they) extract unfairly assessed taxes from taxpayers, literally ruining families, lives and businesses...all unnecessarily and sometimes illegally."

Delaware construction contractor Tom Savage testified that he paid $50,000 to the agency when it disputed his tax payments;

"...when the resources of the government are unleashed on you, you are in trouble no matter how good your case."

Savage paid $51,000 for a defense attorney.

Low and middle income taxpayers with no money to hire a professional tax filer or hire an attorney in disputes with the IRS, were often targets for auditing while, at the same time, agents were told not to audit friends of the agency's management.

Senate testimony revealed that citizen complaints sent to the IRS' inspection division were routinely ignored, and agency employees who reported internal problems became targets of retaliation. Fear of the agency's power was widespread.

Abuse was alleged by a small business couple who claimed they had been singled out because they had become strong competitors of some influential business interests that had political connections;

"The IRS seized our financial records and placed a lien on our bank account for taxes we did not owe, preventing us from using the records and money to defend ourselves. We think our com- petitors were behind the agency's action."

The IRS operated on a policy opposite of the standard of American jurisprudence that a person is "innocent until proven guilty" until 1998, when the burden of proof was placed accordingly on the agency.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government services are provided through non-intimidating and non-intrusive subscription and enlistment.

**************************************

Grievance 41 - Tampering

Due to the lack of a penalty provision in the U.S. Constitution, judicial court judges often failed to fully inform jurors of their power to nullify the law in the case being heard. Instead, judges told jurors that they must decide the case on the "facts" presented, a form of jury tampering.

The freedom of jurors to ignore the facts and even disregard the law was a safeguard against over-zealous government prosecutors, politically-appointed judges, and bad law, which was the earlier experience in England in the case of William Penn.

In 1789, the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay;

"The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy."

In 1796, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase;

"The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts."

In 1902, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes;

"The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact."

In 1941, Supreme Court Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone;

"The law itself is on trial as much as the cause which is to be decided."

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, judges are automatically removed from office for failing to fully inform jurors of the right to nullify laws in the case being heard.

****************************************

Grievance 42 - Injustice

The U.S. Constitution was flawed in creating a Judiciary Branch of government in which officers were selected by a political process. The system resulted in frequent protests over alleged partisanship, unfair and unequal treatment.

The Constitution authorized the President, a person who was the product of partisan politics, to appoint friends and allies to positions of exceptional power upon Senate confirmation;

Article II, Section 2: ...(shall appoint) "Judges of the supreme Court. and all other Officers of the United States..."

The nation's top politician could name federal court judges, U.S. prosecuting attorneys in districts throughout the country, the Attorney General as top federal law enforcement officer, the Director of the FBI, and other law officers.

Democrat Presidents were accused of "stacking" the system with appointees having a liberal bias, while Republican Presidents were accused of naming people with a conservative bias. The Supreme Court was itself judged by the media as being composed mostly of people with leanings one way or the other, and it was a serious consideration for many people in voting for President.

A showcase example of the Constitution politicizing justice was the power of the President to pardon persons accused or convicted of crimes, and to commute sentences single-handedly. President Richard Nixon (1969-74), accused of "high crimes" in office, escaped justice by appointing his personally- selected Vice President, Gerald Ford, to succeed him as President, with Ford issuing a pardon.

The system invited political paybacks, tributes, partisanship and other corrupt practices. One President named a person to a federal Appeals Court bench where the individuals mother was also a sitting judge. People who charged prejudicial treatment were caught in a web of politically-connected officers with partisan considerations.

The federal politicized system was mimicked in state constitutions. After 16 years of Republican governors, California's 1,500 member judicial branch weighed heavily with former prosecutors and business lawyers, but had little representation from consumer, labor, environmental or low income backgrounds.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, selection of Judicial Branch officers is based solely on merit.

***************************************

Grievance 43 - Indebtedness

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit politicians from placing the American people at-large into unlimited taxation and debt ;

"Article 1 Section 8" - The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes (including on income under Article XVI)....(and) to borrow Money on the credit of the United States."

Congress set its own debt ceiling and raised it periodically on a continuing upward swing, while also determining tax levels in connection with government budgeting, with no referendum required for submission to the taxpayers at-large.

In 1998, while approving a $520 billion spending bill, the government claimed a $60 billion "surplus" which was strongly disputed by a number of economics specialists, including Professor Walter E. Williams, of George Mason University, who said it was a hoax;

"The federal government uses accounting practices that, if used by private companies, would land the CEO and the board of trustees in jail."

Williams said the government credited itself with a surplus by including money that was actually committed to future payments in such trust programs as Social Security, leaving a $200 billion budger deficit.

Over the years, deficit spending threw American taxpayers into a debt of $5.42 trillion, with interest payments on the debt of $24 billion per month, and heading toward $1 billion per day.

World-renowned political economist David P. Calleo devoted his 1992 book "The Bankruptcy of America" to show how government deficits lead to ruin;

"Debt has to be serviced. All other things remaining equal, servicing a bigger debt means less income for public needs in the future."

Calleo argued the debt problem cannot be cured by spending less or even raising taxes. Among other things, wasteful and unproductive spending must end, and ways must be found to improve American productivity, the Gross National Product.

In the book "Common Cents" with co-author Major Garrett, U.S. Representative Timothy Penny charged that there was a conspiracy among his colleagues to protect the indebtedness system that was sinking taxpayers into a bottomless pit;

"We will spend more on these interest payments alone than we will spend on education, job training, social services, law enforcement, science and technology, agriculture, foreign aid, environmental protection, and veterans programs combined."

One proposed solution to interest on borrowed money was for government to issue its own interest-free money to pay its own bills, but entrenched powers opposed the change.

American taxpayers were committed by politicians to pay $12 billion annually in "foreign aid", including $3 billion each to Israel and Egypt, and were committed to additional billions for other governments around the world which the International Monetary Fund and World Bank controlled.

The Constitution also permitted politicians to grant relief from private indebtedness. While politicians claimed a "good" economy in the U.S., Americans were deep in unpaid personal credit card debt amounting to an estimated $40 billion in 1997 alone when 1.4 million of them took relief through bankruptcy laws. This represented a 300 percent increase in 17 years. Many businesses encouraged personal indebtedness to balloon their "sales" figures.

Failure to repay credit card debt under bankruptcy laws forced higher consumer costs for goods and services. Likewise, hundreds of business operators were granted legal escape from debt repayment every year, resulting in creditors balancing the loss by increasing charges.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Law of the universe, and producing High Moral Value and Democratic Ideals, individuals are free to choose whether to be indebted to others, public or private, and are personally responsible for "settlement" of debt.

Grievance 43 - Indebtedness

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit politicians from placing the American people at-large into unlimited taxation and debt ;

"Article 1 Section 8" - The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes (including on income under Article XVI)....(and) to borrow Money on the credit of the United States."

Congress set its own debt ceiling and raised it periodically on a continuing upward swing, while also determining tax levels in connection with government budgeting, with no referendum required for submission to the taxpayers at-large.

In 1998, while approving a $520 billion spending bill, the government claimed a $60 billion "surplus" which was strongly disputed by a number of economics specialists, including Professor Walter E. Williams, of George Mason University, who said it was a hoax;

"The federal government uses accounting practices that, if used by private companies, would land the CEO and the board of trustees in jail."

Williams said the government credited itself with a surplus by including money that was actually committed to future payments in such trust programs as Social Security, leaving a $200 billion budger deficit.

Over the years, deficit spending threw American taxpayers into a debt of $5.42 trillion, with interest payments on the debt of $24 billion per month, and heading toward $1 billion per day.

World-renowned political economist David P. Calleo devoted his 1992 book "The Bankruptcy of America" to show how government deficits lead to ruin;

"Debt has to be serviced. All other things remaining equal, servicing a bigger debt means less income for public needs in the future."

Calleo argued the debt problem cannot be cured by spending less or even raising taxes. Among other things, wasteful and unproductive spending must end, and ways must be found to improve American productivity, the Gross National Product.

In the book "Common Cents" with co-author Major Garrett, U.S. Representative Timothy Penny charged that there was a conspiracy among his colleagues to protect the indebtedness system that was sinking taxpayers into a bottomless pit;

"We will spend more on these interest payments alone than we will spend on education, job training, social services, law enforcement, science and technology, agriculture, foreign aid, environmental protection, and veterans programs combined."

One proposed solution to interest on borrowed money was for government to issue its own interest-free money to pay its own bills, but entrenched powers opposed the change.

American taxpayers were committed by politicians to pay $12 billion annually in "foreign aid", including $3 billion each to Israel and Egypt, and were committed to additional billions for other governments around the world which the International Monetary Fund and World Bank controlled.

Grievance 45 - Debasing Money

The U.S. Constitution allowed money interests to take control of the nation's money supply and manipulate it, resulting in a loss of purchasing power for Americans at-large.

John Maynard Keynes, prominent British economist of the early 1900's, said there was a process by which the forces of economic law could destroy a society, and few people were informed enough to diagnose it; "There is no subtler, no surer way of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency."

U.S. money was slowly corupted as if Keynes' idea was put into practice against the better judgment of many prominent people, including President Thomas Jefferson (1801-09);

"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, then by de- flation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will de- prive the people of all their property..."

But in 1913, the government authorized some powerful banks under the Federal Reserve Act to "control the issuance", and over time the nations paper currency was made non-redeemable in silver, or "hard" money, as formerly guaranteed on the face of it. The words "silver certificate" and "payable to the bearer on demand" were removed and, instead, the valueless words "Federal Reserve Note" appeared.

"Inflation" became a matter of ongoing concern for the American people as the purchasing power of one-dollar fell to about ten cents in the last half of the 20th century.

Economists agreed that unsupported "note" value set by mere fiat, or arbitrary decree, would be worthless if the economy collapsed, forcing people to surrender all their property to holders of liens in payment of their debts. There would be no backup of silver previously promised.

The banking system itself is protested in greater detail in a separate grievance to a candid world.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, money and barter systems are established by willing exchange of a free people.

**************************************

Grievance 46 - Power Peddling

The U.S. Constitution allowed the creation of an immensely powerful central government that attracted influence-buyers from throughout the nation and around the world. By 1994, there were an estimated 90,000 buyers, or "lobbyists", in what was regarded as the U.S. Capitol's most powerful and unregulated free-for-all industry, with a long history of bribes, kickbacks and payoffs involving the holders of power who could peddle it.

Influence-buyers spent $100 million every month in the mid-1990's to sway in one way or another 535 politicians in Congress, plus officials in the Executive Branch, bureaucrats, and other people with decision-making power. Some politicians retired from office to become buyers of power themselves, including for foreign governments, knowing the inside means to winning favors. Over a period of 18 months, 304 poliicians and government officials became well-paid lobbyists for industries they formerly oversaw.

"The Economist", a British publication, described the U.S. picture this way; "America has the most advanced influence-peddling industry in the world. Washington's culture of influence-for-hire is uniquely open to all buyers, foreign and domestic... its lawful ways of corrupting public policy remain unrivaled."

The publication "Japan Economic Journal" was blunt in its assessment of the U.S. Capitol;

"Influence n Washington is just like in Indonesia. It's for sale.

"The American publication, "The New Republic", emphasized the legal question;

"The real scandal in Washington is not what is done illegally, but what is done legally."

Public policy was up for legal sale by politicians who could benefit by campaign contributions. One example was the founder of a company that sold information about individuals and who contributed $100,000 to a political party to try to defeat right-to-privacy proposals.

At the height of a 1998 debate on raising ceilings on political campaign financing, Senator John McCain predicted more people would go to jail for violations of the limits already established;

"...there is probably some scandal going on now as we speak, because the system has become so badly corrupted."

Government investigators intercepted communications that China planned to spend at least $2 million to influence U.S. elections in 1996 by channeling money through corporations into political campaigns, an illegal act. A political party fundraiser said he received $300,000 from a high ranking Chinese Army officer who was also an executive in that governments rocket-manufacturing company.

Regardless of political party or persuasion, influence buying and power peddling abounded throughout the system, even to seemingly incidental levels. Researchers published books showing close connections between prominent big business operators such as Democrat Edwin Pauley, and Republicans George Bush, and brothers Allen and John Foster Dulles, working together through such agencies as the CIA.

One study showed corporations, trade groups and other influence buyers spent $6.4 million in one year to provide free travel for members of Congress. Aspen Institute spent the most money, $437,000 to pay for trips to various conferences. A Taiwan business group provided free travel amounting to $328,000 and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee paid for 58 trips to Israel.

Money spent to influence lawmaking, legally or illegally, may be expected under any form of government, but when all government power resides in the hands of a relative handful of politicians representing tens of millions of people, such a system is unbalanced and undemocratic at best, and unjust at the very least.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, power peddling is at its lowest ebb, as lawmaking is in the hands of all individuals equally, a direct democracy.

*************************************

Grievance 47 - Corruption

The U.S. Constitution created a political system readily corruptible. The "representative form" of government invited crimes of corruption, and many people were convicted both inside and outside government from the time of its founding.

At any given moment, some kind of corruption of governing power was reported at the federal, state or local level, giving rise to widespread acquiesence and the attitude "it's just the way things are". A poll by Time Magazine in 1992 showed that four out of five Americans believed the government was corrupt.

Every level of elective office and many government agencies, were constant targets of corrupting forces for special favors, while some powerholders created their own corruption by offering favors in return for money, gifts, and other benefits. A single investigation of corruption surrounding the California Legislature resulted in convictions of 13 people.

But there was another form of corruption built into the representative form of government, as George Mason University economics Professor Walter Williams noted; "If Archer Daniels Midland's CEO used goons and violence against competitors, he'd risk a jail sentence. He accomplishes the same outcome by paying congressmen to pass re- strictive laws... (and) the bottom line enforcement mechanism is the same; intimidation, threats and coercion."

The power of a relatively small number of "represenatives" to interfere with the naturally free and peaceful interaction of millions of Americans was a jealously guarded power by politicians and the people who used them. Business, labor, and professional people pumped money into political candidates and parties who most likely would favor their own money interests. Election costs increased steadily and campaign contrbutions often had the effect of legalized bribery.

In 1994, U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd, a Democrat seeking re-election, received almost $1 million from banking, finance, real estate and insurance money interests, while Senator Alfonse D'Amato, a Republican, topped the figure by $143,000 from the same group of influence buyers. Both were members of the powerful Senate Banking Committee which, like all other legislative committees, could enact laws to favor money interests.

Seven months before the 1998 elections, U.S. Senate candidates had already raised $140.3 million in campaign contributions. One Representative raised $11 million trying to unseat an incumbent Senator. Several Senators were themselves millionaires and had the advantage over political opponents of being in the public eye, and outsider millionaires became more frequent in campaigning for the insider seats of power. Nobody became a viable candidate for a moderate-to-major office without an amount of money well beyond the average persons holdings.

Ways to attempt to overcome the money influence in politics, such as requiring taxpayers to finance candidates, were discussed, but only diverted the public mind from dealing with the far more critical and fundamental issue of where the "power" of government should reside; among an elected few, or among all equally.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, corrupting influence of the system is negligible with each person qualified to vote on all government principles, policies and programs.

**************************************

Grievance 48 - Forfeiture

The U.S. Constitution failed to require the government to convict an American of a crime before seizing the citizens property. Federal statutes allowed seizure of property without filing a charge, and even when an individual was judged not guilty.

"Civil asset forfeiture" became a common occurrence as law enforcement agencies sought to crack down on crime. In a case that went to the U.S. Supreme Court, a woman was deprived of the car which she owned with her husband after he was convicted of being in it with a prostitute. The Court ruled 5-4 that she could be deprived of her part ownership even though she was innocent of any crime.

Most forfeitures were not challenged in court because the owners felt the value of the property was not worth a lawyer's fee to present the case.

After years of injustice, politicians sought to correct the problem by enacting legislation that should have been a part of the Constitution's Bill of Rights, and by such definition that no court of justice could dismiss a rightful owners part of legal property, no matter how small its dollar value.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government is constitutionally bound to prove "cause" for seizure of private property, instead of owners to prove innocence.

********************************************

Grievance 49 - Unresponsiveness

The U.S. Constitution created a government that, while made possible by payment of taxes to it, disallowed the payees from rightful claim to "surpluses", or any direct determination in what programs their money would fund.

Unlike responsive businesses that refunded customers who overcharged, government was not held to the same principle. With no clear constitutional definition and respect for the source of revenue, politicians spent surplus funds as they chose, including $70 billion in the mid-1990's from a tax increase imposed in 1993. Pleas for a refund were rejected.

While businesses survived on providing products and services that customers voluntarily purchased, government was not constitutionally bound to responsiveness, surviving on funds gained by the force of law, and dictating what programs the money would purchase.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals are empowered to direct their percentage of taxes to programs of their choice, and are entitled to refunds for overcharges.

******************************************

Grievance 50 - Diminishing Truth

The U.S. Constitution, in creating Legislative, Executive and Judiciary branches of government, failed to provide the American people with an independent investigative news agency with legal authority and responsibility to expose and report continuously and thoroughly on all activities of all the branches. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects something that cannot be."

The words of Thomas Jefferson recognized that lack of information about the government was a serious threat to freedom, but the Founders relied heavily on Private Enterprise and its publications to fill the need. This placed the people at-large in a position of dependence on government agencies to come forth voluntarily with information about their operations, which were seldom self-critical, and on commercial media that were seldom free from the influence of advertisers and profit pressures.

Media competition in the field of reporting Public Government was energetic, but the same media largely steered away from probing Secret Government and other powerful inside activities, as noted elsewhere in these Grievances.

As the government grew larger, the American people were increasingly less informed about its sprawling worldwide operations, even before the government began assuming "cosmic top secret", "deep cover" and many other ominus labels of diversion to avoid disclosing all information. The Constitution failed to require the swearing of all people on the government payroll to tell the "whole truth and nothing but the truth", holding them personally legally responsible for all information.

Ignorance of the truth made a massive mockery of the American claim to be a "free people", since the people at-large could not know what hidden things the government was doing that could make them unfree. At the very least, they were not free to gain the whole truth about "their" government, whch became one of the greatest travesties of The American Dream.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, an independent Public News Agency is deemed essential: "Personnel selected by merit examination shall investigate and report continually to the People at-large regarding all proposed Laws, and all other governmental issues and activities, via its own Mass Media facilities. Management Personnel shall be subject to removal by a Vote of the People at-large."

******************************************

Grievance 51 - Bureaucracy

The U.S. Constitution failed to prohibit government from extending regulatory power in areas neither specifically authorized by the "law of the land", nor justified by rational discourse with the American people,

The freedom to freely choose dietary supplements, for example, was denied by the Food and Drug Administration, a government bureau in which there was no elected representation, and which set consumer choices without limit of law. The bureau claimed authority over food from which natural health products were derived, and could impose bans on supplements which, by its own admission, were not shown to be harmful.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, all policies and authority of government agencies is set by laws enacted by the people, one-person one-vote.

******************************************

Grievance 52 - Mismanagement

American taxpayers sent $1.6 trillion to the U.S. government in 1997, and the government could not account for hundreds of billions of dollars in property, equipment and supplies, nor accurately report major portions of the net costs of operations. This was part of a finding of the General Accounting Office, an arm of Congress, the first time the federal government ever prepared financial statements for independent audit. The GAO said there was continuous waste and fraud in various operations of government,

Such findings in a private corporation would likely result in a loss of stock value, the Federal Security and Exchange Commission would likely investigate, corporate heads would likely face dismissal, and the story would be major news, but government waste and fraud was so massive it was too much for media to handle under its own time and money constraints.

The National Medicare health program was conducted with virtually no control over fraud, and saw a 500 percent increase from 1990-96 to $18 billion. The government screened very few claims before paying bills.

The Department of Defense, operating under the Executive Branch and independent of GAO oversight in contracting for military equipment, came under criticism from its own Inspector General. Waste included purchase of items at prices thousands of percent higher than normal retail costs, including toilet seats at $640 each, 108 electrical bells at $714 each, 1,844 screw thread inserts at $5.41 each, 31.108 springs at $1.14 each and 187 setscrews for $75 each. The Inspector General blamed DOD errors for the excessive costs;

"We found considerable evidence that the Department of Defense had not yet learned how to be an astute buyer in the commercial marketplace."

DOD spending was in the hands of military officers.

Military waste included maintaining over 230 of its own golf courses around the world, which experts said could be financially independent if operated for combined military and public use.

Senator Chuck Grassley said military waste cost taxpayers millions of dollars every year, inviting fraud and embezzlement. Reform was always promised to Congress, which funded the DOD but, he said, it never happened due to the military-industrial complex;

"...the defense industry is constantly watering down the reforms."

The independent Project on Government Oversight also criticized the military's buying practices;

"...acquisitions reform was really a deal for defense contractors and not for taxpayers."

Despite mismanagement, the military said in 1998 it wanted yearly budget increases of $10 billion which would greatly profit war industries.

Taxpayers also spent some $12 billion in foreign aid every year for which there was no accounting required as to whether it was going to peaceful and humane purposes.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, the people at-large vote on the principles and policies of their government, and individuals have the right to designate their percentage of taxes to programs of their choice.

******************************************

Grievance 53 - Welfarism

The U.S. Constitution, and the government that grew up under it, failed to protect the financial resources of Americans from political opportunists and greedy recipients, both corporate and individual. Timeless wisdom made the point from a politicians perspective; "Spending other peoples' money is easy."

Payment of funds to "for-profit" corporations, including financial institutions, were a particularly heavy drain on taxpayers. Subsidies and bail-outs became common as lawmakers stood to gain politically from influential investors and powerful labor unions involved with them.

Consumer-advocate Ralph Nader's report on "Aid to Dependent Corporations" of 1994, said taxpayers spent more than $100 billion yearly on subsidies and tax breaks for influence-buyers. At the same time, taxpayers were required to put out $75 billon in Aid to Families with Dependent Children, food stamps, housing subsidies, and other welfare programs to 14.3 million people identified as "low income", many with "dependency addiction".

Subsidies to families included moving recipients into upper and middle-income homes at one-tenth of the monthly mortgage payment. Under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program, home builders and bankers were assured of a profitable return paid by taxpayers, even in cases of over-building.

Fraud and waste were commonplace in all weflare programs. One county in Calfornia reported a 45 percent fraud rate in 1995. State Health and Welfare Secretary Sandra Smoley was outraged over its implication;

"...it is beyond belief to think that $590 million in taxpayer dollars that could have been spent on services for the truly needy went to greedy people out to defraud the system."

Some people lied to obtain welfare benefits, others lied to increase them. Penalties were seldom severe enough to slow the fraud. An example was seen in the case of a 28 year old woman and her 48 year old Mother who were convicted of claiming $11,000 in payments for two children that never existed. The women were ordered to pay restitution and the youngest was given 30 days in jail, but a newspaper editorial correctly pinpointed a common travesty of justice in the courts;

"If $11,000 had been embezzled from a bank or private business (she) would probably be behind bars for much longer than a mere month. But isn't the offense really much worse when the robbery victims are the taxpayers...?"

Unorganized taxpayers had no direct control over any welfare programs, corporate or individual, or the judicial process that pretended to administer justice in their behalf.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producuing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, government programs and penalties are established by the people at-large, one-person one-vote, and taxpayers may designate their percentage of taxes to specific programs.

*****************************************

Grievance 54 - Competence

The U.S. Constitution failed to set mental and physical health standards for President that would avoid potential aberrant behavior affecting the course of the nation and millions of lives.

Requirements for many private and government jobs with relatively minor authority included medical and drug-free examinations, but people were elected President and "Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces", with enough firepower to launch mass death and destruction, with no periodic examination for mental health, or alcohol or other drug and chemical imbalance, that could pose public danger.

An individual could become Chief Executive Officer of the trillion dollar government while having mental disorders or even "temporary insanity", with no checks and balances in law for stability in behavior.

There was no requirement that candidates for President make public their medical records, or that the office-holder undergo regular medical examination for brain tumors, heart ailments or other health threats, in order that the American people would be informed of any problems that could result in succession of the Vice President to the highest office in the land.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, individuals selected to hold exceptional governing authority, are required to meet mental and physical health standards determined by a vote of the people at-large.

******************************************

Grievance 55 - Immorality

The U.S. Constitution gave unequal standing to government policy makers and agencies which was contrary to commonly accepted moral standards in society.

While it was popularly made illegal for private individuals, corporations and gangs to threaten, intimidate, coerce and extort from others, politicians could approve legislation empowering government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, to do so. Individuals in government were not held legally responsible for these acts.

In another double-standard, while holding a monopoly on coercive taxing power, government prosecuted private business for having a monopoly in the free and voluntary consumer marketplace.

Politicians determined their own salary, benefits, and retirement income with no direct authorization for increases by the taxpayers at-large, many of whom were coerced to provide the funding.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, commonly accepted legal principles and policies apply to all individuals equally, inside as well as outside government.

******************************************

Grievance 56 - Disarming

The U.S. Constitution was absent of moral direction in matters of weapons of death and destruction. It authorized the government to use taxpayers funds for its own unlimited killing power, and was ambiguous in terms of non-governmental ownership of deadly weapons.

The popular view at the time of the American revolution was expressed by one of its leaders, George Mason; "To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

Writers of the Constitution's Bill of Rights sought to avoid such a fate in Article II;

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

The dictionary definition of militia, "a military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency", implied that a call for service would come from some agency of State government, and that the weapons were intended for such use. This left questions over private ownership of handguns, assault weapons and even hunting rifles.

Domestic and street crimes committed with mostly handguns produced heated public debate over "gun control", but this was a misrepresentation of reality;

"Those who control the guns, control the people, criminals and government included".

A forceful argument was made for disarming all factions;

"Only when there is universal disarmament is it safe for anybody to disarm."

An AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and Democratic Ideals, establishes the principle of banning deadly weapons universally, all governments included.
