Though the Magna Charta has been with us for a long time, there is something better than Magna Charta! Read along with me…

Magna Charta, or Great Charter, celebrates 808 years June 15th along with liberties for British citizens. The Charter is a declaration of the liberties demanded by English Lords and Barons. Those liberties were won under threat of civil war and reissued, with alterations, in 1216, 1217, and 1225. The Charter declared the king to be subject to the rule of law and documented the liberties they held as “free men.” Magna Carta is a major document that underpins the British Constitution and the US Constitution.

In 1215, an assembly of Barons met at Runnymede. They had tired of king John’s tyranny and finally reeled him in, forcing him to recognize the rights and privileges they demanded. This is a very important document, but we have a vastly superior document in our hands than even the Magna Charta, it’s called the US Constitution.

The Constitution of these United States is a document which places the people in the superior position over their servant government! The Constitution doesn’t grant us any privileges or rights. The beauty of the Constitution is that it secures our God given rights that we claim and guarantees that we can use them whenever WE decide.

That’s why evil servants working in government want to get ignorant people spinning around with a myriad of “pretended laws”, so we are confused, bewildered and submissive. If you don’t know what the “rules” are then it is certain you will lose any game, and in this case it is not a game, it is our Liberty.

Most of WE THE PEOPLE need to read, or reread, and understand the rules! That would include the Constitution, Articles of Confederation, the Federalist papers, the Northwest Ordinance and rulings by the  Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

The SCOTUS has ruled WE have NO duty to comply with unConstitutional dictates that state legislatures and Congress want us to comply with, and certainly not Executive Orders which only apply to those who work in the executive office. See U.S. v Mersky (1960) 361 U.S. 431, which says,

“A statute that regulates without constitutional authority is a nullity even though it be published in the books, recognized by the police and lowers courts, and even though it be unchallenged for decades.”

— U.S. v Mersky (1960) 361 U.S. 431

 

It is imperative that we NOT rely on someone to hold our hand, that’s what got us in trouble to begin. WE THE PEOPLE need to realize the facts, recognize our collective responsibility and our DUTY as Masters—Sovereign Citizens—over our servant government.

America, which means Heavenly Kingdom, is our birthright! It is NOT the birthright of every third world enemy of our country, our people and our religious faith? History proves who formed this country called America, and why.

In 1783, Ezra Stiles, President of Yale College, stated regarding the founding of America: “It is certain that civil dominion was but the second motive, religion [Christianity] the primary one, with our [Celto-Saxon] ancestors, in coming hither [to America] and settling this land. It was not so much their design to establish religion for the benefit of the state, as civil government for the benefit of [the Christian] religion, and as subservient, and even necessary, towards the peaceable enjoyment and unmolested exercise of religion—of that religion [Christianity] for which they fled to these ends of the earth.”

 

“The State was developed out of the Church” — John Wingate Thornton

 

Pastor John Cotton was “more instrumental in the settlement of their [America’s] civil as well as ecclesiastical polity than any other man.”

Pastor Increase Mather is cited as being instrumental in the formation of the civil government of the American colonies.

John Wingate Thornton wrote in The Pulpit of the American Revolution: Political Sermons of the Period of 1776, 1860, “the clergy were often consulted by the civil authorities in the colonies, and not infrequently the suggestions from the pulpit, on election days and other special occasions, were enacted into laws. The statute-book, the reflex of the age, shows this influence. The State was developed out of the Church.”

Regarding the Constitution versus the Magna Charta:
FEDERALIST No. 84,
By Publius (Alexander Hamilton)

“It has been several times truly remarked that bills of rights are, in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgements of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was MAGNA CHARTA, obtained by the barons, sword in hand, from King John. Such were the subsequent confirmations of that charter by succeeding princes. Such was the PETITION OF RIGHT assented to by Charles I., in the beginning of his reign. Such, also, was the Declaration of Right presented by the Lords and Commons to the Prince of Orange in 1688, and afterwards thrown into the form of an act of parliament called the Bill of Rights. It is evident, therefore, that, according to their primitive signification, they have no application to constitutions professedly founded upon the power of the people, and executed by their immediate representatives and servants. Here, in strictness, the people surrender nothing; and as they retain every thing they have no need of particular reservations. “WE, THE PEOPLE of the United States, to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ORDAIN and ESTABLISH this Constitution for the United States of America.” Here is a better recognition of popular rights, than volumes of those aphorisms which make the principal figure in several of our State bills of rights, and which would sound much better in a treatise of ethics than in a constitution of government.”

The police state is rising in America and is swarming around all of us more frequently and in more volume than ever before. The question is posed, that if the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do? Before those foundations are completely destroyed, I ask, what will the righteous do?
