Propaganda and The Conspiracy Against Our Constitution
Please join us on January 28th for “Stop the Article V Con Con Outreach and Press Conference” in the building behind the Statehouse in Concord at 10:00 AM. We will meet in the lobby of the LOB and hand out information on the Article V Convention to legislators. At noon, Bill McNally, a veteran Constitutionalist, Dan McGonigle, author, and Hal Shurtleff, field rep for The John Birch Society will present the dangers of an Article V Convention, who is behind it, and why one must be opposed.
Please tune in to We Hold These Truths on Monday January 27th at 10:00 AM to hear a discussion on why the Article V Convention must be stopped with Hal Shurtleff and Karen Testerman.
Another great article on why a “convention of the states” or con-con is a dangerous proposition.
This new article from News With Views sums up pretty much how we feel about the con-con, as advised by three member groups who are considered constitutional experts. (JBS.org, NHCCS.org, and Tenth Amendment Center)
Contrary to what the conspirators say, there is no way to stop the convention from “running away”: All the delegates need do is come up with a new Constitution. It can provide for any method of ratification they want.
That is what happened in 1787 when the Continental Congress called a convention “for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation.”[4] The delegates ignored their instructions and wrote an entirely new Constitution with its own new method of ratification.
The Conspirators’ Campaign of Propaganda against The People
The conspirators’ claims spit in the Face of Facts and Reality. So how have they been able to convince people tobelieve their claims; and go along with their destructive scheme?
They are exploiting the ignorance and desperation of The People by manipulating them with propaganda. Their FAQ’s employ nine well known techniques of propaganda:[5]
• Assume the Major Premise
• Appeal to Desperation
• Claim there is a Panacea
• Repetition for Emphasis
• The Big Lie
• Fabricated Legal Principles & Precedent [“Imaginary Evidence”]
• Oversimplify
• Exploit Wishful Thinking
• The Self-sell.
Assume the Major Premises
Throughout the FAQs, it is assumed that:
1. The purpose of amendments is to control the federal government;
2. Our Constitution is defective;
3. That there is such a thing as a “convention of states” which States call and control;
4. States will protect us from the federal government; and
5. The federal government will obey amendments to the Constitution.
These are the five major assumptions upon which their scam is constructed. They don’t prove them – they know many will blindly accept them. Only thoughtful people examine assumptions.
But you can become a “thoughtful person” if you will start examining what you are told.
