To whom it may concern the following questions are among those frequently or occasionally asked by inquiring folks as well as applicants for C.S.A. Citizenship:
Don’t you realize that you are better off that you lost; for look at the great and wealthy nation we have become under the reunited United States of America.
This is a typical Yankee-ism we even hear among professors from Southern colleges as well as Yankees and Scallywags. It is the epitome of politically correct robotic thinking.
No, we do not realize that we are better off now under Federal Union occupation than we were while we were free under the Confederate States of America. What we realize is that we have suffered the pillaging of our homes and farms and from the economic, civil, religious and military oppression from the Federal Union under reconstruction and continued occupation for 145 years. We have all been made slaves, black and white alike to the unconstitutional and otherwise illegal I.R.S. and its personal income tax fraud against us. In this we take little solace from the knowledge that the folks up north who supported the Lincoln Marxist invasion of our southern Nation, although not having to suffer the same reconstruction as we did in the South, have become slaves to the I.R.S. as have we. But that knowledge buys no groceries for us.
We have had Washington, D.C. appoint our legislatures and governors for the State governments that they forced down our throats at bayonet point. At first we had Yankees ruling us in these Washington Satellite governments, but then they got Southerners to rule who were worse as Scallywags.
They have re-educated our kids with Federal Union half truths and outright false history with their Federal Department of Education. Our kids grow up to be welfare state minded with little or no concept of freedom and God given rights.
They have taught distorted science and humanism against our religious beliefs thereby undermining our families and confounding our children into accepting the State religion of Humanism/Darwinism. They do not allow our kids to pray nor have Bibles at school. They even are denying us the right to have the Ten Commandments. They teach that the State is the god that matters.
They send our Southern men (and women, now) disproportionately into battles all over the World which are none of our business thereby causing and fueling the hatred of the World against us.
They have given so many billions of dollars away to nations who hate us that the Federal Union is near or already in bankruptcy and we are seeing run away inflation making it impossible to maintain a reasonable standard of living, and for many, without even enough bread for their families.
You, of the Federal Union, have encouraged groups to try to hang the racist label on us when we get along much better with blacks in the South than you do in the North. The Confederacy was in the process of freeing all slaves in the South at the beginning of the 1861 Northern invasion of South Carolina well prior to Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation to allegedly free the slaves in the South while not freeing them in the North. Today we embrace all races to apply for C.S.A. Registered Citizenship and certainly oppose all forms of involuntary servitude (slavery).
We can be arrested for complaining against all of this as it might be classified as hate speech. We can’t even fly our own flags and our children are not allowed to wear Confederate flags on their shirts to school.
We are told that we must allow the United Nations to run our troops abroad and to house U.N. Troops in our domestic forests. We may soon be prosecuted by other nations for violating their laws here in the South.
We have been reduced to the status of mere serfs and slaves of the occupying nation and you think we should be grateful? Ha! Only dogs appear grateful to their masters who beat them.
In what way are we better off? Should we brag about being part of the New World Order run by the Fascist Federal Empire of the United States? No thanks!
Why are you Confederates so determined to restore the Confederate States of America to power and independence from the United States?
This question has largely been answered by our answers to the first question. However, the reasons why we want to Restore the Confederate States of America to power as a free and liberated nation are as follows:
We want to be free of the abuse, subjugation and slavery of the Federal Union and its Satellites over us, our families and our lives. A free Confederate States of America will be one of the wealthiest nations in the world and our money will be backed by black gold (oil).
Black gold converts easily into yellow gold and vice versa.
Today, our economy is highly industrialized with petrochemicals, oil and gas industries, etc., but includes all kinds of heavy manufacturing whereas 145 years ago we were mainly raising cotton and tobacco. Now, we also raise vast herds of cattle, have a large commercial fishing industry and grow all manner of food including grain, rice, wheat, vegetables and citrus fruits. Where is NASA located?
Our population is nearly equal to that of the North whereas 145 years ago we had only about 1/5th of the population of the North. Two thirds of the military of the Federal Union are Southern men today, mostly from State National Guard units in the South. Those units will, of course, no longer be available to the President of a foreign nation whether it might be Great Britain, Germany or the Federal Union of the United States, but instead will answer to their own State governors. Yet, when voluntarily put at the command of the General Government of the C.S.A. by those governors, they will compose the already equipped and trained National Guard units from some 15 Southern States and will make up a World class military force capable of heavy and effective defense of the Southland. (Much more so than 145 years ago.)
We will be a very viable nation as a Confederacy of cooperating and sovereign State Republics. These State Republics as member States of the Confederacy will largely control their own affairs. The C.S.A. General Government will not be an anarchy of States, but also will not be ruled by a highly centralized Government controlling its States. The Confederacy of State Republics will work together in cooperation. We will not be under the yoke of the United Nations nor will we have the I.R.S. And there will be no personal income tax for citizens and free enterprise will flourish. Of course we will not be part of the New World Order, but our natural resources make us essentially self sufficient. Even so, we shall encourage trade with other nations, but will also use tariffs for revenue for the government. The States will be billed by the General Government being taxed directly according to their apportionments for additional needed revenue, but most present National functions will be carried out by the States and Counties in true State’s Rights fashion. A dissatisfied State will be free to leave the Confederacy by Constitutional provision. We will keep our States through fairness and friendship. We will be far better off than under serfdom of Federal Union occupation.
I am a patriotic American. Why shouldn’t we work to try to save and reform the United States?
We are patriotic Confederate Americans. Reading the above reasons of why we want to restore the Confederate States of America should have given you some clues as to why we want to return to the principles of our founding fathers who wrote the Declaration of Independence. We don’t even want to bother the U. S. Government other than to request a Peace Treaty and regain our Liberty as a Nation no longer under occupation. Most of us have spent years and hundreds of dollars in futile efforts to reform the corruption gripping the Federal Union of the United States and we were finally driven to the firm knowledge and conclusion that it was a hopeless cause. However, we believe that regaining the values of our fore fathers in the South by re-staffing the Confederate States of America and working to gain our Liberation is well within reach. If you agree, apply for C.S.A. Registered Citizenship and work with us to gain our freedom. The successful restoration of the C.S.A. as a free and liberated Nation can also help the folks up North restore some freedom and justice in their country of the Federal Union, perhaps even regaining some State’s Rights that they also lost during the Lincoln reign and since. We wish them well.
We don’t want another horrible civil war or gone with the wind scenario. Isn’t that where you are leading your people?
Wonderful, neither do we want bloodshed. However, we will stand in military and economic strength, but will wish to negotiate a Peace Treaty overdue by 145 years with the Federal Union. Included in such a treaty would be beneficial trade and water way arrangements and debt settlements as well as agreements not to plunder northern owned industry operating in the South, for the stockholders thereof shall not be robbed by the Confederacy. We also, of course, will negotiate the complete withdrawal of Federal Union agents and troops from the Confederacy, but with peace and trade agreements why should they remain anyhow?
If arrogance raises its ugly head in Washington, they will be looking down the throat of extinction as sure as during the cold war against the U.S.S.R. Neither side could win for their people even if one side claimed victory over what might be left. This kind of standoff almost always results in negotiated settlements. We do not intend a repeat of “Gone with the Wind” for either nation. Today we have far more blood relationships, friends and business connections between the North and South than 145 years ago. That is almost certain to beg for negotiations instead of annihilation of both sides. However, he who is not willing to stand up for freedom choosing instead inferred security is destined to lose both.
You have literature pointing out that the Government of the Confederate States of America looks upon The League of the South with disfavor. Why is that?
Yes, our Confederate Intelligence Bureau (CIB) has investigated the League of the South for over five years and concluded the League is a subversive organization against the Confederacy. As a result, we determined it was in the best interest of the Confederacy to expose this organization by publishing the report entitled “C.S.A. INTELLIGENCE ALERT”.
The League of the South’s effort to push for a “New Nation” is a conspiracy of diversion and misdirection deliberately being perpetrated in a treasonous way against the true and still existing Confederate States of America.
Don’t you know that the Confederacy ended 145 years ago when Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Virginia? Get over it.
Since when does a General surrender for a Nation and its Government? Robert E. Lee surrendered his Northern Virginia Army because they were out of ammunition and were starving to death waiting to be overrun by Sherman’s well fed Yankee Army who had plenty of ammunition. Several other Confederate Generals were still in the field with troops elsewhere. Meanwhile, President Jefferson Davis was making an emergency relocation of the seat of the Confederate Government, along with most of the cabinet of the Confederate States of America, ultimately headed for Texas where it was believed that the remaining Generals could hold back the Yankee forces. President Davis, however, was captured and imprisoned, but Judah Benjamin, the Secretary of State, escaped to London, England. President Davis and Secretary of State Benjamin both refused to surrender the Government of the C.S.A. and thus no surrender ever occurred and no Peace Treaty was ever signed. Thus a state of war, declared upon the South by Abraham Lincoln, still persists resulting in continued occupation and reconstruction by the military, civil, economic and judicial powers of the Federal Union. Additionally, the Yankee Banking/Corporatist/Communist establishment behind the Federal Union (USA, Inc.) continues to press for more destructive educational and ecclesiastic restrictions towards the establishment of a State Religion of Secular Humanism. (The worship of flawed science and the State.)
Should Confederates be opposing Confederates? I can’t support that idea.
To that question and answer above we heartedly agree; No, Confederates should not be fighting or opposing Confederates. However, in opposing The League of the South we are not fighting true Confederates, but either false or misled Confederates who are enemies of our Country whether they recognize this or not. We should be opposing enemies such as these just as we oppose Yankees and Scallywags with their false ideas and understanding.
Your citizenship registration comes across as a joke to me. First of all I am a Confederate citizen. As your site states the Confederate Government never surrendered so therefor we are still a nation under occupation. I, therefor being born in the Confederate states, am a Confederate citizen.
That is because you lack understanding of the legality of a Constitutional Convention and of a series of such as an internationally recognized legal means of establishing a government such as in 1776 and because you do not understand the plan for restoration.
It is true that the government of the C.S.A. never surrendered and being born in the South would qualify you for natural C.S.A. citizenship. The Constitution of the C.S.A. prescribes that a person must be born in the South or have lived in the South 6 months.
However, anyone could claim that including tens of thousand of New Yorkers who might flood in at the last minute as they did under Lincoln in 1860 to throw our elections their way by fraud and theft.
To vote, whether in the United States or in the C.S.A., a person needs a valid Voter’s Registration Certificate. The Constitution of the C.S.A. requires that a person must be a citizen of the C.S.A. in order to vote or hold office. How are we to know who might be lying about this in order to vote? We must have a bonafide voter’s registration process to issue certificates of citizenship for voting purposes. That invokes certain expenses.
And charging $50 for registration is even more amusing.
Who is going to reimburse the hundreds of clerks needed to register folks to vote for their expenses in collecting the necessary proofs for certificates, postage, gasoline? Most of the Confederates working as Registrars cannot afford to pay out of their own pockets for these costs so others can have their Certificates free. The C.S.A. is not a welfare government and would be Confederate voters are not needed at this point who will not pay their own way. This is a one time fee for registration and a Citizenship Certificate. This shall be a dual citizenship of sorts and will not negate the existing U.S. Citizenship presently borne by Southerners as a result of the Fourteenth Amendment. Because the C.S.A. Citizenship is under the occupation and control of the Federal Union, U.S. Citizens can vote in their elections, but they may not vote in ours.
When the states decide to regain their sovereignty what will you have them do with the people that have not registered with you? Would you have them kicked out of the country or arrested?
Such folks who are not C.S.A. Registered Citizens would be classified as resident aliens and would continue to live where they are so long as they have not participated in seditious actions against the government of the Confederate States of America. Federal Union agents, Judges, Marshals, F.B.I., I.R.S., etc. may be granted amnesty from arrest so long as they depart in accordance with our requests. Otherwise, they will be arrested and deported regardless of where they were born, but those eligible may apply for immigration back into the C.S.A. after a Peace Treaty is signed and a waiting period of six months passes during which time they will not be living in the Confederacy.
Such an idea would cause an internal battle.
That is their choice and if they choose not to grant us our liberation, so be it, my friend. Remember, we are still in a state of war with the Federal Union which is their fault and choice. They declared the war against us, not we against them and they invaded our peaceful land and they still insist on this continued unlawful occupation of our nation. Thus this state of war still exists until a proper Peace Treaty is signed between the Federal Union of the United States and the Confederate States of America.
The people would rise up against the new Government before it gets started.
When you refer to the “New Government” you must be referring to the new monarchy being presented by the League of the South. Surely the people will and already are rising up against it for it is a highly centralized top down plan for a monarchal type government for the South and ignoring the continued existence of the Confederate States of America.
If, however, you intended to refer to the Confederate States of America as the “New government” you err for we are not a “New” government, but one which gained its independence 145 years ago and which was recognized by Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and even by the United States under President James Buchanan. Today, we are a government being re-staffed but still under occupation and we are still being unlawfully denied our freedom and sovereignty.
Did you know that after the 1776 Declaration of Independence some 200,000 monarchists moved to Canada voluntarily? It is likely that many confused monarchists of today may wish to move to the North and live in Canada or the Federal Union of the United States under Admiralty Law rather than in a Confederacy of State Representative Republics under Constitutional Law. Such folks prefer a top down highly centralized government rather than a bottom up government of the Citizens themselves in the C.S.A. That should be their choice.
I know if such a thing were to happen to me someone is going to have one hell of a fight on their hands.
So what? This is not a game, nor a membership organization or political party. If you were not a C.S.A. Registered Citizen at the time of Liberation you would still be allowed to live in the Confederacy as a resident alien or leave at your pleasure unless you had been an agent or judge of the Federal Union or another designated enemy of the C.S.A. In that case, after expulsion you would have to later apply for admission papers, resident alien status or citizenship.
I have come across many web sites stating that they were setting up the new Confederate Government. I laugh every time I see one.
If you laugh after reading and investigating the group you may be justified. Setting up a “New Confederate” government would be stupid since a Confederate Government already exists and secession has already occurred in most Southern States (145 years ago).
But here is a real problem. While organizations such as yours put together memberships and call it a Government, and that’s what you have is a membership not a Government, The League of the South is indeed setting up a”New” Government.
This statement indicates you have not done your homework and clearly do not know what you are talking about or are confused about which organization you are referring to.
With their membership growing at an alarming rate they are getting their members elected to state level offices of Government and as soon as they have enough members in position they will call for a vote to secede.
We recognize the League of the South as a misdirection organization which has fooled hundreds of good confederates into joining as members since they are dead set against re-staffing and liberating the Confederate States of America. However, they are losing members in the League rather than gaining and the so called “New Government” that they are directing and trying to set up has no history nor legal precedence for existence and we are not aware that they are bringing in “members” at an alarming rate. We agree that the so-called citizenship certificates that the League’s “New Government” is selling are fakes and really no more than nationally issued “novelty” membership certificates totally unlike the actual Registered C.S.A. Citizenship certificates being provided to eligible people by the real Government of the Confederate States of America by virtue of their State of Registry. See www.CSAgov.org .
This alleged “New Government”, of the League of the South which is top down centralized, is even selling “novelty” Fake CSA Passports for War Between the States Buffs for heirlooms and they state: “You’ll be amazed at how authentic your personalized Confederate States of America Passport looks.” These are mere circus fakes which will not be accepted by most other nations.
At best, this New Government is simply a political party competing with the SIP’s in the South. As for their plans to secede, they would be seceding from the Confederates States of America except in the case of such States as Maryland, Delaware, Kansas and Colorado. The League’s “New Government’s” secession from the Federal Union in those Southern States who already seceded in 1861 would prove their appeasing belief that the involuntary State governments forced upon the Southern people and their States during reconstruction were legal rather than mere forced satellites of Washington, D.C. Their actions of such appeasing beliefs including attempted secession of Southern States who already did that 145 years ago would be another example of treason against the C.S.A. by the League and their alleged “New Government”.
Then we will have to live under their ridiculous laws.
The League of the South has almost no chance of ever forming a new independent nation and thus we will not live under their ridiculous laws. By the way, we already are living under the ridiculous laws of the Federal Union and its Satellite States.
What should be done is that these small Confederate organizations ought to join forces and put together a voice that will shut out The League of the South and their program. Then we can help shape and mold the new laws for our future.
That is, of course, is a good and reasonable idea which we are already pursuing. While the Government of the Confederate States of America does not endorse any political party nor private Confederate organization, we are pleased to have beneficial support that might assist directly or indirectly in our Voter’s Registration Drive to sign up eligible folks not only for Certificates of Citizenship, but also the corresponding entitlement to vote in Confederate elections and regardless of which ever party such Citizens may align themselves with.
Those deciding to become Registered C.S.A. Citizens, like the rest of us have done, will become the basic units of government as Citizens. Together we will re-staff and liberate the C.S.A. As citizens, we all are equal and start at the bottom. Some of the citizens at the bottom will be elected by the others to serve in elected offices. That will be a State by State election, not directed from the top but rather developed out of State Constitutional Conventions.
Wouldn’t the U.S. Government charge you folks with Treason for re-staffing the C.S.A.?
The Lincoln Republicans wanted President Jefferson Davis of the C.S.A. whom they held in prison tried for Treason against the United States. The U. S. Supreme Court would not support the idea claiming that President Davis had not committed Treason since the States had a right to secede and since he was only defending his Southern Nation from invasion.
Since we are not trying to overthrow the U. S. Government by force, but simply re-staffing our existing Confederate Government so we can request a Peace Treaty ending the Lincoln war. We are not taking hostile actions, but justified legal and constitutional actions allowed under the Declaration of Independence and the Common Law rights of self determination through Constitutional Conventions. It would work to be an embarrassment in the World against the U. S. Government if they did try such blatant and hostile legal tactics against us. Yet, a Government that would send tanks and helicopter gun ships against a church full of women and children in Waco, Texas is capable of any abuse as long as there is no limit to their power to get away with it. Therefore, we must depend upon the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ and be not afraid for the Confederacy is a Christian Nation.
Why not have a state by state petition drive, and not some internet drive, but a real door to door drive to gain signatures to present to various levels of State government for support?
A petition drive would require hundreds of people and tens of thousands of dollars in each State but we could do just that if we had the funding. However, a petition drive would prove almost useless and can be expected to be ignored by the various levels of State (Satellite) Government. Such petitions might be useful for a political party to show politicians their vote power, but otherwise would accomplish nothing and would be a tangent from the main thrust to re-staff the State Confederate Governments and would be a political effort aimed at the Satellite State government which is not a proper action for a Government such as ours to be involved in. We are not a political party.
As it is, the Government of the C.S.A. is hiring State and County registrars who are contacting friends and likely Confederates selectively and we are also going from State to State meeting the folks and working with our Registrars and not just sitting in front of a computer. We now have contracted Registrars in 10 States and 4 Territories of the Confederacy.
We should have someone from each State to act as that State’s head. Then that person would recruit people from each county. Then each county’s rep would send the petition to their state head who would present it to the various levels of state Government.
First, who has authority to act as the head of a State absent an election by the Citizens in a Constitutional Convention of the State? So what we do is provide a State Registrar who coordinates county registrars in the Voter’s Registration Drive to gain Registered Citizens who will come together in a State Constitutional Convention and they, not us, will elect their head as a Governor of their Confederate State Government. Please note that these Registrars are contract employees of the Government of the Confederate States of America who are themselves citizens and who have no executive, legislative or judicial power or authority other than to serve like county clerks in the Voter’s Registration Drive.
This is all coordinated by a National Registrar who was appointed by the Constitutional Court which grew out of an earlier (in 2001) National Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional Court of the Confederacy ordered on November 1, 2004 the creation of a system of Registrars to conduct the Voter’s Registration Drive as an assistance to the necessary re-staffing of the State and National Governmental Offices which still exist but which are presently un-staffed by living people.
The one time Registration fee for a Registered Citizenship Certificate is sent to the national Registrar’s Office and banked in the Treasury of the Confederate States of America. Then, $10.00 is sent to the State Registrar involved and $10.00 to the County Registrar to help reimburse their expenses. The rest of the funds ($30.00) are used for printing the certificates, filing them and postage and most of it stays in the Treasury to help fund the planned National Convention and to provide a small income for elected National officers such as President, etc.
Isn’t it unrealistic to expect to gain a majority support for the Liberation of the Confederate States of America? Without a majority how could you expect to gain Liberation?
It does not require the majority of the people in the state to say anything. Only Registered C.S.A. Citizens may vote according to the 1861 Constitution of the C.S.A. (Only 3% - 6% of the Colonists supported the Declaration of Independence and the war for independence from Great Britain which grew from a few men meeting from several States and Colonies in a Constitutional Convention.) In any event, once the State Confederate Government is re-staffed and resurrected with an elected Governor, the Citizenship drive will expand creating a large Confederate Caucus who would be capable of electing large numbers of legislators and a Governor of the Satellite State government until the satellite State government can be politically merged into the corresponding Confederate State government.
The minority would not have to side with the majority as that would be the practice of communism called democracy, mob rule or dictatorship of the proletariat. In a republic the minority has protection under the laws from the whims of the majority. Many resident aliens could be expected to choose to live among the majority in such Southern State merged into the Confederate State Government.
The League of the South claims they are really setting up a “New Government” for the South and that sounds dangerous and needs to be addressed.
The League of the South claims to be trying to form a “New Government” patterned after a monarchal federalist pattern similar to Washington D.C. They do not seem to be making much headway beyond a group of specially appointed men by Dr. Michael Hill in top down fashion in what they call a National Congress.
The attempt by the League of the South to set up a “New Government” might be considered a seditious action by the Federal Union of the United States or possibly a terrorist organization under the Patriot Act. That would be dangerous for those involved. Also, this attempt by the League of the South to set up a “New (Non-Confederate) Government” is not only fraud against the innocent Confederates joining their movement while believing it is to restore a Confederate government for the South, it serves as a stab in the back for the Confederate Veterans who died preserving our Confederate Nation and a stab in the back for the tens of thousands of members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) who are trying to preserve the heritage of their forefathers.
According to the thinking of the Confederate Congress of 1864, the actions by Dr. Hill to set up a “New Southern Nation” is outright treason against the existing Confederate States of America which is still in a legal state of war absent a peace treaty with the Federal Union of the United States. It serves as a misdirection for loyal and real Confederates who may be dissuaded away from their own true C.S.A. Government. Misdirection organizations can be more damaging than clearly different opposing organizations to a movement recruiting people.
The Confederate Government of the C.S.A. already exists having never surrendered and is simply involved in a voter’s registration drive to expand the re-staffing of the various State Confederate government offices and the National Government offices by election and Constitutional Conventions.
ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What Court in the U.S. issued the Court Opinions - UNITED STATES CODE - CHAPTER 115 USC TREASON STATUES OF THE FEDERAL UNION (UNITED STATES) AND STATE NULLIFICATION OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONGRESSIONAL STATUES, EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND COURT ORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES?
What court rendered these opinions?
No Court of the United States issued the Court Opinions sent to you. The Constitutional Court of the Confederate States of America issued these opinions and they are for the main benefit of C.S.A. Registered Citizens, but also for regular folks in the South. The Constitutional Court has no jurisdiction over the United States or any other foreign nation, but does have jurisdiction over the Constitution of the CSA 1861. Conversely, the courts of the United States have no jurisdiction over the Constitutional Court of the Confederate States of America. Read about the Constitutional Court at www.CSAgov.org . What or who gave the Constitutional Court this authority to draw up its Court Opinions?
This question is more completely answered below on the summary of Constitutional Conventions, etc. because the authority was given to the Constitutional Court by the Citizens of the Confederacy via a series of Constitutional Conventions of such Citizens.
However, the Federal Courts of the United States had very questionable jurisdiction over the States prior to Lincoln (1789-1860).. After the secession of the Confederate States, the Federal (U. S.) Courts had no Jurisdiction and No power to enforce their dictates. As the war was finally lost by the CSA, Federal Union military occupation became a reality and still is a reality. However, raw power of an unlawful occupation does not gain jurisdiction and the U. S. Courts and Congress totally lack any Jurisdiction of the territory and property of the Confederate States of America. The U.S. and their robot supporters may try to claim that the many elections held since 1865 have granted them jurisdiction. Not so, since the satellite States that were set up in the South by the Federal Union were completely involuntary on the part of the Confederate Citizens as was their supposed rejoining of the Union and the new Constitution the Yankee appointees gave them. The fruits of a poisonous tree are usually also poisonous from a legal point of view, thus even today, the States in the South are mere satellites of Washington, D.C. and no real jurisdiction has been gained by the exercise of time and additional elections of mainly Washington appointees.What or who gave Authority to Create the Constitutional Court. The authority to create the Constitutional Court is a fundamental question often asked. The short answer is that the authority was that of the people in a Constitutional Convention delegates from 8 States. The authority of a Constitutional Convention is granted by the Declaration of Independence 1776 to wit:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Authority of men. Where do men in a group get their authority to meet in a Constitutional Convention and have jurisdiction (dominion) to do so? That authority is granted by GOD THE FATHER! See the authority in the King James Old Testament:
GEN 1:2 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The grant of "dominion" was the ultimate grant of jurisdiction by the LORD as the Creating King of the Universe to "man". He tempered this grant with restrictions found in the Ten Commandments so that one man would not execute unrighteous and involuntary dominion over another man.
Our forefathers, notably Adam, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas McKean, Patrick Henry and Jefferson Davis, all under the obedience to the LORD and His Son Jesus Christ, as shown to us in the Bible have established the rights of man and the jurisdiction thereof to govern themselves and their posterity along with their neighbors for their freedom and happiness as well as their reasonable welfare and security. We follow in this line of jurisdiction and rights of government by and for free men. We have not come to force any knee to bow, but to work together in a partnership of government for which we have contracted together to restore. Those not contracted with us are, of course, not bound in any way in this effort nor do they bear any responsibility for the administration of the Government of the Confederate States of America as now partially restored. Yet the door of invitation is open to those Constitutionally qualified who are willing to contract with us for Registered C.S.A. Citizenship.
NOTE: A Constitutional Convention held by a certain group of people has jurisdiction for that group of people, but not necessarily for another group of different opinions and goals. But through a representative republican form of government, the will of the people as a whole is established by their ratification of their Constitutions and authority is shown below:CONSTITUTION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATE OF TEXAS 1861
ARTICLE I., SECTION 1. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit’’ and they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their form of government, in such manner as they may think expedient; and, therefore, no government or authority can exist or exercise power within the State of Texas, without the consent of the people thereof previously given; nor after that consent be withdrawn.
CONSTITUTION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATE OF FLORIDA 1861
That the great and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established, we declare: ARTICLE 1, Section 1. That all freemen, when they form a social compact, are equal, and have certain inherent and indefeasible rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property and reputation; and of pursuing their own happiness.
ARTICLE 1, Section 2. That all political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and established for their benefit, and therefore, they have at all times an inalienable and indefeasible right to alter or abolish their form of government, in such manner as they may deem expedient.
CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF TEXAS 2006
ARTICLE 1, Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.
To explain in greater detail this fundamental area of questions by applicants we list the following:
In March of 2000 A.D. we had our first Constitution Convention in Texas as the Southern Party in New Braunfels. We soon had several other Constitutional Conventions aimed at truly doing something Confederate and not just something political. The Federation of States was established on July 4, 2000 between the State Chairmen of Texas and Arkansas.
The next Constitutional Convention in the summer of 2000 A.D. in Birmingham, Alabama where Mississippi and Florida joined in. At a Continental Convention in Jackson, Mississippi the summer of 2001, seven States participated as delegates and the Constitutional Court was created for the purpose of preparing updates for the 1861 CSA Constitution to be presented to the Senate of the yet to be resurrected CSA Government. The Court is authorized to have 3 - 9 Justices who were Chairmen, Registrars or Governors of the various States) with original jurisdiction over the CSA Constitution and the meaning of the passages therein. The various States elect these Justices who serve until their State service is over. The Court was also given the responsibility to lead the way into the resurrection of the Government by developing and initiating plans for that purpose also called the Restoration. Once the re-staffing occurs the Supreme Court Justices will be selected, sworn in and seated, but the Justices thereof will not serve beyond 17 years (Not for life) and the even after the organization of the CSA Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court will maintain original jurisdiction over the CSA Constitution.

On November 1, 2004, the Constitutional Court Ordered the Restoration of the governments of the Confederate States of America by the Creation of the Office of Registration, as a Committee of the Court, to be headed by Vance J. Beaudreau for the purpose of producing a Confederacy wide Voter’s Registration Drive to enlist C.S.A. Registered Citizens for the purpose of the Restoration of the Government of the Confederate States of America.
The same day, the Constitutional Court Ordered the Creation of the (CIB) Confederate Intelligence Bureau as a Committee of the Court, to be headed by J. R. Griffen, as Director.On September 8, 2005, the Constitutional Court Ordered the Creation of the C.S.A. Council as a voting committee made up on Registrars serving under the Office of Registration in order to establish policy Confederacy wide and to serve as a check on the Treasury in regards to funds to be authorized for expenses.On March 4, 2006, the Constitutional Court Ordered the re-staffing of the Treasury Department of the Confederate States of America pursuant to Act 25 passed by the C.S.A. Congress on February 21, 1861 and Ordered the establishment of a Debenture program authorizing a new issue of $300,000.00, #11200 series, of 36 month Debentures be established by the Treasury Department for sale only to C.S.A. Registered Citizens in accordance with
Act # 134 passed by the Confederate Congress on May 16, 1861.Note: First is the enlistment of C.S.A. Registered Citizens. Next is each Confederate State to hold Constitutional Conventions to re-staff the key dormant government offices and elect delegates for the planned National Constitutional Convention of Confederate States. This third step shall be to re-establish the C.S.A. Constitution of 1861. Then the State Delegates will be sworn in as Senators establishing the Legislative Branch and they will elect a President and Vice President forming the Executive Branch of Government.
We understand that the Courts are not to legislate as that is the job of the Legislature. It is agreed that Courts, including Supreme Courts, are not to legislate. However the Courts have and do legislate in the Federal Union using the fraud of building upon case law. Case law shall be banned in the Courts of the Confederacy and each case must be decided anew on the merits, evidence and law at the time by a true jury of peers. It is not the job for the Legislature of the United States to legislate anything in or for the territory of the Confederate States of America or involving Confederate Citizens living therein except perhaps a peace treaty. They otherwise lack jurisdiction.
The Constitutional Court is not legislating in preparing updating propositions for the Constitution of the Confederate States of America of 1861. Such proposals shall be presented to the Senate at the National Convention for their consideration for certification for the ratification process or for rejection or change. That is the job of the Legislature. Also, the Constitutional Court is not legislation when it appoints Court Committees to carry out certain functions of the Court or of the government previously approved in general by the Confederate Congress of 1861-1865 during the interim phase of re-staffing or in polling the C.S.A. Council for policy matters or for an interim oversight of the Treasury.
Note: The CSA Constitution of 1861 authorizes a Supreme Court. But, due to the war, time did not allow the nomination of Justices and the court never got organized, leaving the State Courts to carry the burden. In the future the CSA certainly shall organize its Supreme Court, but that Court will have only supportive jurisdiction over the Constitution of the C.S.A. since the Constitutional Court (the justices of which shall be by election by the C.S.A. Governors Council) and not the President nor the Congress. This is a new check and balance against centralization.
Court Committees. The Constitutional Court is operating an interim national government during the re-staffing restoration phase of this effort. Court Committees are not to legislate, but may enforce prior legislation or work to determine proposals for the legislature once it has been re-staffed. Most Court Committees will be dissolved once a cabinet is established in the Executive Branch and at least a Senate is seated. At that time, the Constitutional Court will retire from active direction and become simply the repository and guardian of the Constitution of the Confederate States of America and shall have jurisdiction to define the meaning of certain phrases if the questions should arise in a lower court.
However, the Constitutional Court will not actually try cases once the Supreme Court is seated along with a few inferior appellate circuits to solve interstate cases which are not otherwise handled by special tribunals of three State Supreme Court Justices worked out by the States with interstate questions. The Justices of the Constitutional Court shall themselves be Governors of States and are elected to serve on the Court by the Council of Governors which, at present, is the C.S.A. Council made up of State Chairmen, Registrars or Governors and eventually only Governors as the C.S.A. Council becomes 100% Governors instead of Registrars.
What does their (U.S.) Congress say about our Court’s Opinion? We are not aware that the Congress of the United States has said anything about the Opinions of the Constitutional Court concerning their lack of jurisdiction in the confederacy. We don’t expect them to agree nor do we care at this juncture. It is not yet time.
U.S. Congress today is Executive Branch Congress. When the several States seceded from the Union, it became impossible for the U. S. Congress to achieve a Constitutional Quorum, thus all they could do was adjourn which does not require a Quorum and they Adjourned, Sine Di which means without a date for their return. They were locked out from accomplishing anything without a quorum. Lincoln ordered them back into a special session and ordered them to adjust the quorum accordingly, a Constitutional Change done without ratification. Thus, the returning Congress were no longer a Constitutional Legislature, but an Executive Branch Congress. Nothing has changed to correct this loss of that separation of power. No wonder Congress does what the Administration wants while appearing to argue over the details.
The C.S.A. is not interested in overthrowing the Government of the U.S. or the Corporation thereof. We are not interested in invading, attacking or conquering any State of the U.S. or for that matter any other country like Canada, Mexico, or Cuba. We are only interested in that Territory that was claimed by the CSA 1861-1865 which includes much territory that was not yet partitioned as States at that time. We do claim most of that old territory and re-staffing the existing governmental offices of those Confederate States and Territories for liberation from occupation does not constitute an attack upon the United States (Federal Union), but is our right to be free from foreign occupation. We believe this can be done without bloodshed; there was certainly more than enough of that 145 - 140 years ago. We hope and plan for friendship with the United States as good trading neighbors.
Secession. The various States and Territories who seceded from the Union in 1860-1861 need not do that again since they have already seceded and have never themselves un-seceded nor did they voluntarily re-join the Union after 1865. If some Northern State decides to secede from the Union in our time and does so, then they could apply to our Congress once it is re-staffed for C.S.A. Statehood and that would not be an attack upon the United States because such seceding State would have severed their ties with the Federal Union on their own and without our involvement. Vermont is trying to secede now, but most of us would not care to accept them as a State of the Confederacy and the same goes for Alaska and Hawaii for geographic as well as governmental philosophies of the people in those states.
Jurisdiction. Legally, the United States has no jurisdiction in the Confederacy over our territory or our people and they know it. The people of the South have dominion (Jurisdiction) over their homes and territory. But the Federal Union doesn't care and ignores issue since they substitute raw power of guns, bayonets, handcuffs, their kangaroo courts and their prisons for their lack of jurisdiction. And since we have no peace treaty with them, a legal state of war technically still exists. The attack upon the Davidians in Waco, Texas by the Federal Union was an indication of the continuation of that executive order state of war of Lincoln ‘s Acclamation (Declaration).
What about Competing Governmental options for the South? Were this a mere political election option it would be expected to have other groups claiming to be the political movement of the South vying to run the government of the United States. In other words, if those other groups of Southern Heritage Confederates, including some Northerners, were offering a political party such as, for example, Confederacy of Southern States, and offering a slate of candidates in U. S. elections according to Federal Union laws, then that could be deemed acceptable. But, would not such an effort patronize the hopelessly corrupt system of the United States, which is considered by many to be a collapsing Empire, be futile? The American Party of George Wallace was a classic but failed attempt to repair the body politic Dixie style.
However, understanding that legally the Federal Union is still technically at war with the Confederate States of America whose government refused to surrender and who is still legally in existence and in interim operation today built upon the Constitution of the CSA of 1861 and the Statutes of the CSA Congress, it seems to us to be a treasonous step for a group to attempt to dislodge the true government of our Confederate Nation and turn their backs on the 200,000 Confederate veterans who were killed and well over 500,000 who were injured and disabled defending our State’s Rights Nation. To end the further re-staffing Restoration of the Confederate States of America and offer another top down centralized government to the South would be to turn our backs on the dream of our forefathers for a State’s Rights Confederacy of the United States of America and then later of the Confederate States of America.
Disregarding the opinions of Yankee antagonists, how is it not treason for people in the South who consider themselves to be Confederates, to involve themselves in seditionist movements against the restoration of their own beloved CSA Nation and government? It has been observed that such other groups have aims which are not really Confederate or State’s Rights in nature, but are rather Monarchal, as sort of a Corporatist/Socialist Centralized State from the top down with Southern heritage and even some racist overtones.
There are those who plead that we unite with these other groups to gain liberation using our combined power and then settle our internal differences. Ah, but we see the results of such thinking from the cold war with the U.S.S.R. who we should have fought rather than being allies with them. We see the results of such perversion of purpose to gain our goals of liberation by appeasement wherein the end justifies the means. We see the unhealthy combination of subversion that would result with such appeasement and perversion that would ultimately destroy us and the dream of our forefathers of 1776. We would gain for ourselves anarchy and a situation not unlike Palestine today (between Hamas and the Fatah Party) which would open the door for easy conquest of our disunified Nation by the banksters of the world and their armies.
More to the point, a struggle existed early in the history of the United States (1776-1781) between the Loyalists (to the King) and the Franklin/McKean/Jeffersonians seeking independence which then became, after 1781, a struggle between Federal Centralists (including former Loyalists and Tories) of Alexander Hamilton’s vintage and the Jeffersonian (anti-federalists) independence minded men seeking representative republics bound together in a Confederacy.
The Lincoln war of aggression against the CSA was classic Centralist Unionists versus Jeffersonian State’s Rights/Constitutional anti-Federalism. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels heavily supported Lincoln against the Confederacy. During reconstruction we found that the classic Unionist Yankees were really semi-monarchal centralists trying to stamp out the remaining vestiges of Confederate anti-federalists and that is still the battle today with the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England backing the Unionists of the Federal Union.
Suppose we were able to gain liberation from the Federal Union only to find ourselves establishing, perhaps in Birmingham or Montgomery, nearly the same thing as exists in Washington, D.C. only with a Southern fling. Are any of you willing to settle for that? Is that not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, thereby failing to achieve real freedom and State’s Rights for our posterity? Stick with the real thing, the true government anti-federalist State’s Rights government of the Confederate States of America. Learn more about Constitutional Convention authority under which we have authority to re-staff as we are doing.
We would rather simply let history take its course with the defunct United States and live and spend more time with our families rather than to spend our time, money, sweat and maybe blood in an effort to create another Washington, D.C. type government simply with a Southern style to it, but based upon top down centralization which is not Confederate at all.
As a final note on this, we have cooperated with several groups of Confederate minded organizations and have invited them and their members to become C.S.A. Registered Citizens so that they can vote and be a major part of the resurrection of a more completely re-staffed government of the Confederate States of America. Several such groups have done this and are in virtual control in their respective States, to our delight. In their own State’s Constitutional Conventions they will be able to largely shape their State Confederate government and its officers. In this fashion, we welcome assistance from other groups seeking the same type of government as we are.
Dictatorship. This is the hallmark of any dictatorship, and in the case of the Federal Union, they are a Fascistic (corporatist) government with strong dosages of Socialism for the people and the illusion that they are a Democracy (mobocracy), but we know that the so-called "Democracy" is ruled by a dictatorship of the Proletariat behind the thrown of the Executive Branch and the Executive Branch Congress and Supreme Court.
Revolution of Abraham Lincoln. Really, the Federal Union, established out of the Marxist assisted Revolution of Abraham Lincoln, is a National Socialist government absent the racial purity aspects and absent any anti-Jewish aspects and the only racial hatred that is allowed is against the White European Americans who are now a minority. (Lincoln was a strong supporter of Karl Marx in 1848 and supported his attempt to overthrow the German government.) To sum it up, the U. S. is a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations with socialism to control the people who think they elect the government and believe they have a constitution. The hapless American people have only privileges allowed by U.S.A. CORP. as controlled by the Bank of England. Ever notice has the Declaration of Independence of 1776 fit so well against the Federal Union today? The same British system of control is in effect via U.S.A. CORP.
Hitler. A man desiring C.S.A. Citizenship called from Fargo, N. Dakota (A Yankee Territory and now a Yankee State). This fellow mentioned that he had read in Mein Kampf some years ago that Hitler had attacked the provincial governments in Germany stripping them of their local control and power and centralizing that power in Berlin. Nazism is diametrically opposed to a Confederacy of State Republics being top down control rather than bottom up from the people in a State Republic.
The Fargo, N. Dakota applicant will have to come in by virtue of his residency for at least 6 months in the South. As long as the Fargo guy lives outside of the Confederacy he will have no place to vote as a citizen, but should he move to a Confederate State or Territory he msut then advise us of his new address and he will be able to vote in that State or Territory.
About words. Federalism in the late 1700's was the idea of a loose union of Sovereign State Republics or Commonwealths that maintained most of their State's rights. To the Hamiltonians, however, it meant Centralization at the expense of State's Rights, a typical political trick to claim to be for something to fool the populous only to betray them later. Today Federalism essentially equals Centralization in meaning and just the opposite of the position of Thomas Jefferson. When one thinks of Federalism today they think of the Federal government and its abuse of power.
National CSA Headquarters? That is a matter to be decided by the Senate of the C.S.A. I oppose Richmond as being too close to Washington, D.C. and being too far geographically from much of the territory of the Confederacy. Montgomery, Alabama was historically involved in the initial creation of the Confederate States of America out of a 7 State Constitutional Convention of States who had issued documents of secession which included Texas. But Birmingham, Alabama or Jackson, Mississippi or even Memphis, Tennessee would be contenders and better choices geographically as being more centrally located. Our National Constitutional Convention will be in Southaven, Mississippi and is projected for sometime in 2008 providing we have at least 7 States that have held their State Constitutional Conventions (of C.S.A. Registered Citizens voting with their portion of the Gideon number set as a quorum present).
Work for the Restoration of the CSA via the Voter’s Registration Drive to enlist new C.S.A. Registered Citizens to participate in the upcoming State Constitutional Conventions. This is from the bottom up and not from the top down organization in true Confederate fashion.
