Delenda Est Cabal -- Part 4: Why Marry Latvia?
By Mary W Maxwell, PhD
6-25-11
 
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against marriage and nothing against Latvia. And as for the state of Michigan marrying Latvia, I personally, being a card-carrying states rights man, can only approve. A state can do what it wants without the feds, or the other 49 states having a say. Go, Michigan! I see that Kansas has tied the knot with Armenia. (Yes, it's true; and Arkansas is shacking up with Azerbaijan, California loves Ukraine, etc.; see below.)
 
Where is Armenia? Well, it's a lot of jet fuel away, so the taxpayers of Kansas may want to be sure they can afford these goodwill flights. The fact that Michigan recently gave a school bus, customized for disabled kids, to Latvia, raises the question: Which set of Michigan brains decided that the bus was a good gift? I mean, technically, did the policy issue forth from the education or health secretaries?
 
If Michigan were a nation, we might expect the decision to have come from diplomatic staff at that nation's State Department. Come to think of it, most of the 50 states have an office called 'Secretary of State.' Usually one thinks of that as the place that handles land titles, the registering of corporations, and the supervising of elections. Can a state's Secretary of State make deals, also, with foreign nations?
 
As far as the US Constitution is concerned, there are only a few specific restrictions on what a state can do. It does say, in Article IV, section 3, that if a state wants to divide into two states, permission of the Congress is required (presumably because that would add two senators to the total). And, as everyone knows, no state can vary the national rules of importation and customs, much less of immigration, much less of coinage.
 
All of that is covered by Article I, sec 8, which created federal responsibility for those affairs. Section 10 of that article expressly tells states not to grant titles of nobility (Gosh, who would have thought of it!) and says: "No state shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance or Confederation." Then, less restrictively, it says: "No State, shall, without the consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Contract with... a foreign Power."
 
Is it legal, then, for Michigan to have a trade agreement with Latvia?  Yes, if Congress permits. Since many states do business directly with foreign powers, I presume they have permission. Do you recall that Jimmy Carter had foreign deals going for his state of Georgia when he was governor? (Or that Sarah Palin lusted after one with Russia, in her heart? Nah, just kidding.) The only constitutional restriction on a Latvia-Michigan deal is that it not be a treaty, and that it not get around US import and tariff rules.
 
DELENDA EST CABAL AND THAT MEANS YOU, NATO!
 
All of that said, and before looking at the 'engagement notices' of many other states, let's recall the theme of this series of articles, to wit: "delenda est cabal!" A prescient man named Cato warned that Carthage must be destroyed by Rome, or else Rome will find itself a vassal of Carthage. For the word 'Carthage,' in Cato's slogan "Delenda est Carthago," I have substituted the word 'cabal.'   The cabal is the entity we want rid of before it conquers us.
 
As we might have put it in the 1960s, the cabal is a rat fink. In the parlance of today's young: the cabal sucks. Either we squelch the cabal soon, or there will be a shocking future for Americans. Rather like the shocking future we ourselves have delivered to the people of Iraq, Haiti, Somalia, and Cambodia. And others.
 
After all, if you were to ask why we were so mean to those countries, you'd soon discover that it was because the cabal was guiding our efforts! Many of those countries, having sharper talent than us in the political perception line, are aware of that, and accordingly they forgive us -- at least to some extent. (How's that for embarrassing: they know we are under the cabal's thumb, when we don't know it ourselves!)
 
Basically, the cabal, made up of very few individuals, wants World Government. The cabal works through the Bilderbergers and the Council on Foreign Relations. The cabal is a self-appointed elite (or bunch of bozos, whichever). They try to meld industry, media, academia, and -- needless to say -- the military. Daniel Etsulin, who has party-crashed some meeting of the Bilderbergers, or at least done some impressive eavesdropping, has said that all the top business leaders hope for is a 'World Company,' not a world state. They want their profits, with no challenges from below, he says.
 
Renato Ruggiero, a former head of the office of Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD, a group of affluent nations, said in the 1990s that no sort of world constitution was desired by that group. Rubbish! I disagree with Etsulin, an outsider, and with all the insiders. It is as plain as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face, that World Government needs and desires all the apparatus of government, not to mention the thrill of command. (Dominance, anyone?)
 
Remember when a main tenet of Marxism was that "the state would wither away," and then the Soviet Union went on to become the model of totalitarianism? The style of control that is planned for our own future may be a trifle more 'cyborg-ish' than that old stuff.  That is, HQ might be able to access your medulla oblongata directly, rather than having to intimidate you into doing its wishes, but government won't wither away. Control of the many by the few is hard yakka, as we say in Australia. It's not for the lazy!
 
Thus it is no surprise that a massive world military is already in place. NATO runs it. "Delenda est NATO!" Seriously. The cabal must be destroyed. And the sooner the better. This is a terrible situation. And the nice-sounding Latvian-Michigan meet-up is, I fear, a function of the world military run by NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Now let us return to the marriages.
 
MOST OF THE 50 STATES NOW HAVE EMBEDDED FOREIGN TROOPS
 
Ah, remember the third amendment in the Bill of Rights (oops, remember the Bill of Rights?). Number Three says "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war but in a manner to be prescribed by law." First of all, unlike any other amendment, that one is pretty worthless since it contains its own undoing. But at least it implied that billeting was undesirable.
 
Now we have states hosting large numbers of 'visitors.' The special-needs school bus mentioned earlier is just a public relations cover. What is really going on, is that the National Guard of most states have joined a NATO program. The title of the program should give everyone shivers. It is "Partnerships for Peace." If there is one thing that has never been in NATO's job description it is, of course, p-e-a-c-e.
 
In the other hand, NATO is big on p-a-r-t-n-e-r-s-h-i-p-s. Naturally, as the guns of World Government, it is mucho involved in taking over existing governments. Admittedly the cabal hasn't done much, so far, to change territorial borders. It goes about amalgamation through such methods as setting up the European Union and the planned North American Union. It does subtle things to the sovereignty of nations, sometimes by manipulating currency or arranging hopeless debt, and possibly by fomenting 'popular revolution.'
 
(If we were to look back a century, but we won't, we would see more of the opposite kind of effort, in which the cabal broke up larger agglomerations, such as the Ottoman empire, or knocked a 'too strong' industrial nation such as Germany. The latter was openly arranged by the US and was known as the Morgenthau Plan, named for US Treasurer, Henry Morgenthau. Etienne D'Avignon is rumored to be the dude assigned to destroy the industrial base of the US in the present decade. It's just "standard office procedure.")
 
Note: 'Transmigrasei' -- mixing ethnic groups by migration -- is another way to break up a strong force. Indeed the cabal is so worried about anyone's ability to spoil its fun that it does not even want us to have religions, professional associations (other than ones it controls) or, this is hard to believe families. Divorce, delay in marital age, and 'free love' are good.
 
WHAT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON THESE TROOPS ?
 
Surely the Constitution must have something to say about states making military arrangements with foreign powers. Reaching up to my shelf for a concise reference book, oh here it is: "Prosecution for Treason," by that user-friendly writer, Mary W Maxwell. (I've read it so many times I practically know it by heart.) Turn to List 9c for two quotes from the parchment:
 
Article I, section 8. "The Congress shall have the Power... To declare war... To raise and support Armies...To provide for calling forth the Militia..." ('Militia' in the context of 1787 means what we later formalized as the National Guard. The phrase "Congress shall have the Power to provide for..." means legislation may eventually be forthcoming on that.)
 
Article II, section 2: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States and of the Militia of the several States when called into the actual Service of the United States."
 
Note: I would have guessed that "when called' means "by Congress." However, SCOTUS (i.e., the Supreme Court Of The United States) ruled in Martin v Mott, in 1827, that the President can call up the Guard.  Decisions by SCOTUS are considered tantamount to altering Constitutional wording.
 
Marvin v Mott is ancient -- decided 184 years ago for Pete's sake -- and it dealt with a narrow issue. Therefore it does not, in my opinion, deserve to weaken the grant of power to Congress in Article I, section 8. However, we are stuck with it until a better case comes up, or until the folks demand a Constitutional amendment. (Or, maybe until the states get grizzly about handing over their men and women too often.)
 
It does appear that we have today a federal entity called The National Guard Bureau. What a strange animal! The militia (the guard) was traditionally under the control of each state's governor. Usage of those troops by the feds has been an emergency measure -- both with regard to overseas wars and domestic natural disasters. (I pass over the subject of riots, as I'm sure all riots are started by the cabal -- oh yes and many Internet flame wars are, too -- no job too big or too small for our cabal!)
 
Although at first blush it would seem unconstitutional for a state to join a partnership with another nation (recall Article I, section 10 prohibiting "Alliances"), there are two loopholes  -- not counting the semantic loophole of calling an 'alliance' a 'partnership'!  First, there is the fact that with Congress's permission, a state may "enter into any Agreement or Contract with... a foreign Power." Okay.
 
Second, at a stretch, the fact that the Guards are called up by the president on a big scale nowadays, could perhaps mean that the Pentagon is 'allowed' to make decisions for the use of the Guard in what otherwise appears to be a state-hosting arrangement. May God help us if that is so.
 
(Interruption: I just saw on Kansas' website that its guardsmen have just finished a one-year deployment to Dijbouti, Africa.  Huh? How could they be called up for that? The full quote from the Constitution's Article I, section 8, is that Congress can provide for calling forth the Militia"to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions." Didn't know we were undergoing an invasion from Africa. Did you?
 
Now we come to the alleged rationale for having so many South American and former Eastern Bloc's troops stationed on American soil. It is that we are helping those nations become democratic. (Gag, gag.) For example: CT-Uruguay; DE-Trinidad; KY-Ecuador; MD-Bosnia; VT-Macedonia.
 
The stated reason cannot by the wildest chance be the true reason for NATO to have created this elaborate 'exchange' program. Since when does NATO have a mandate to be a Grand Uncle? And, as hinted at above, are the taxpayers of each state being told that they have new jet fuel costs to pay? Also, as queried above, which segment of a state would oversee policy-making? Was it, in fact, the Education Department that advised about the school bus? Are locals even consulted about whether they want their state to do this modern-day billeting?
 
When I said, in the opening paragraph, "Go, Michigan!" I meant that a state that wants to get all touchy-feely with Latvia, or Malawi, or Uruguay, etc., is in its rights to start a friendship arrangement or a cultural connection. The giving of a school bus is a perfectly admirable thing to do -- honestly I am not knocking it.
 
Cultural connections, like "Sister Cities," are not unheard of. Those are mainly meant as trade connections, I suppose, but they do give citizens a chance to learn about another culture. This National Guard Bureau deal, however, that partners a state with a foreign nation is NOT what it is being presented as. It's a lie. Journalist Jim Keith tried to tell people about it as far back as 1995, but states were then denying outright that the program existed. That tells me all I need to know, thank you.
 
For a few years now, Michigan had admitted to its hosting of Latvian troops. That may be better than denial, but it's horrific that the public relations people are saying that its purpose is so Michiganders can show Latvians the ropes of democracy. If you believe that, could I please sell you the Sydney Harbor Bridge for a thousand dollars? And I'll throw in the Opera House for another five hundred.
 
No, the point is to plant World Government troops -- which is to say NATO-controlled troops, at every pillar and post.
 
Houston, please come in, Houston! We have a problem! Big problem, Houston. Help!
