RESOLUTIONS

of
The United States,
1831
The Proceedings of the Second United States Anti-Masonic Convention, Held at Baltimore, September, 1831: […] Boston: Stereotyped at the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry: 1832 (Forgotten Books Edition, page 61).
September 28, 5 o’clock, P.M.
Met, pursuant to adjournment.
Mr. WARD, from the committee, reported resolutions, which were twice read. Messrs. FULLER, FOOTE, and HOPKINS, of New York, HALLETT, of Rhode Island, and STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, severally addressed the Convention in their support, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted:—
1st
Resolved, That the existence of secret and affiliated societies his hostile to one of the principal defenses of liberty,—free discussion,—and can subserve no purpose of utility in a free government.
2nd
Resolved, That we, as American citizens, will adopt the counsel given us by the illustrious Washington, “That all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of the fundamental principle of liberty, and of fatal tendency.”
3rd
Resolved, That the organization of the anti-masonic party is founded upon the most satisfactory and undeniable evidence, that the masonic institution is dangerous to the liberties, and subversive to the laws of the country.
4th
Resolved, That where evils of this nature are founds existing in a free government, holding, by means of a secret combination, a majority of the civil, judicial, and military offices in the country, there are but two modes of redressing the grievance—either by revolution, or by an appeal to the ballot boxes.
5th
Resolved, That the anti-masonic party, in choosing the latter remedy, have taken up the peaceful and legitimate weapons of freemen, and that they ought never to lay them down in this cause, until the liberty of the press, the liberty of speech, equal rights, and an entire overthrow of masonic usurpations, are fully and completely achieved.
6th
Resolved, That the direct object of freemasonry is to benefit the few, at the expense of the many, by creating a privileged class, in the midst of a community entitled to enjoy equal rights and privileges.
7th
Resolved, That we esteem it the plain duty of the members of that institution, as citizens of our common country, either collectively to abolish it, or individually to abandon it.
8th
Resolved, That we have witnessed with pleasure, the efforts on the part of some of the masonic fraternity to produce a voluntary abandonment of the order. While we regard these efforts as the manifestation of homage to public opinion, we should rejoice in their success, inasmuch as it would produce a more speedy accomplishment of the great object which the anti-masonic party, with singleness of purpose, are striving to effect.
9th
Resolved, That discussion, persuasion, and argument, in connection with the exercise of the right of suffrage, is a correct and speedy mode of diffusing information upon the subject of freemasonry, and is the best method to ensure the entire destruction of the institution.
10th
Resolved, That the oaths and obligations imposed upon persons when admitted to masonic lodges and chapters, deserve the unqualified reprobation and abhorrence of every Christian, and every friend of morality and justice.
11th
Resolved, That these oaths, being illegally administered, and designed to subserve fraudulent purposes, ought not to be regarded as binding in conscience, morality, or honor; but the higher obligations of religion and civil society require them to be explicitly renounced by every good citizen.
12th
Resolved, That the gigantic conspiracy in New York, against the life of William Morgan, was the natural result of the oaths and obligations of masonry, understood and acted upon according to their plain and obvious meaning.
13th
Resolved, That there is sufficient proof that the perpetrators of the abduction and murder of William Morgan, have, in several instances, been shielded from the punishment due their crimes, by the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter of New York, and by subordinate lodges and chapters, according to their masonic obligations, whereby those lodges and chapters have countenanced those outrages, and become accomplices in their guilt.
14th
Resolved, That those masons who became acquainted with and concealed the facts relative to the abduction of Capt. William Morgan, are accessary to that horrid transaction.
15th
Resolved, That, in applying the right of suffrage to effect the suppression of freemasonry, we not only exercise a right which is unalienably secured to us, but discharge a duty of the highest obligation, in thus endeavoring to abate a great political evil.
16th
Resolved, That there can be no proscription, where every freeman has a right—and exercises that right—to vote for a candidate of his own choice.
17th
Resolved, That anti-masonry has for its object the destruction of freemasonry; for its means, public opinion, manifested through the exercise of the elective franchise; that it acts upon the great principles of liberty, which made us a free people, and relies upon them to ensure the attainment of its high purpose.
18th
Resolved, That an actual adherence, by freemasons, to the principles contained in the obligations of the order, is inconsistent with paramount duties, which they owe to the state, and is a disqualification for offices of public trust.
19th
Resolved, That we find, in the unexampled growth of the anti-masonic party, the diffusion and prevalence of its principles, the continued approbation bestowed upon them by the enlightened and wise men of the nation, abundant cause for encouragement, and the perseverance with increased zeal and unabated determination, until the institution of freemasonry shall be overthrown or abandoned.
20th
Resolved, That much depends upon a thorough ORGANIZATION of each STATE and TERRITORY, of each CITY, TOWN, TOWNSHIP and VILLAGE, by active and vigilant committees, for the purpose of diffusing information on the subject of masonry and anti-masonry, over our whole country, and that the voice of patriotism calls upon all good citizens to organize and unite themselves with such committees accordingly.
From, Address of the National Anti-Masonic Convention, To the People of the United States.
On the Republic
(page 69)
“A republic acknowledges the rights of all, and seeks to avail itself of the wisdom and power of all, to promote their common welfare. Its theory is perfect. It is founded upon the proper basis, pursues the proper end, and employs the proper means. And by the principles of elective representation and accountability, it may be so extended as ultimately to combine all nations—if not into one family—into a friendly association of several peaceful, prosperous and numerous families. If right, duty, wisdom, and power can contribute to the real exaltation and happiness of man; and if government can combine and apply them most comprehensively and beneficially to the regulation of human conduct, then republicanism offers a more majestic and reverend image of substantial glory than can otherwise result from the labors, and sufferings, and virtues of our race. It is a practical scheme of universal benevolence, sure to be approved. embraced, and sustained, by all men, in proportion to the just prevalence, in their minds, of intelligence, truth, and philanthropy. Such a government is the one under which it is our privilege to live.”
On the Individual
(page 79)
“Individual rights are, separately considered, of immeasurable and indefinable worth. They partake of the infinitude of moral existence and responsibility. As contemplated by our government, a single individual, and one as much as another, is an august being, entitled to inviolable reverence, and bearing upon him the badges of a most majestic origin, and the stamp of most transcendent destinations. His safety, his liberty, his life, his improvement, his happiness, it designs, at all times and places, faithfully to protect, by the application of all its delegated means. The law is the beneficial instrument of this protection, and should be appreciated, by every reflecting man, as the sacred, living, and most venerable expression of the national mind and will. Break this, and the nation has but one right left which it can peaceably enforce—the right of suffrage.”
On Prince Hall
(page 81)
“There is a bearing of freemasonry, not yet embraced in this address, which is replete with the most distressing apprehensions. There is located, in Boston, a masonic body, denominated the African Grand Lodge, which dates its origin before the American revolution, and derived its existence from a Scottish duke. This body acknowledges no allegiance to any of the associations of American masonry. Its authority is co-extensive with our Union. It has already granted many charters to African lodges. We are afraid to intimate their location, to look in upon their proceedings, to count their inmates, or to specify their resources.”
On Suffrage
(page 83)
“Voting for our public servants is the highest exercise of sovereign power known in our land. It is the paramount, distinctive privilege of freemen. In countries where only a small minority of the people are authorized to vote, if oppressive measures are adopted by their rules, they must either submit or fight. In countries where all the citizens are authorized to vote, if they are oppressed, they can throw off the oppression by their votes. And if the frowns of power, or the calumnies of malefactors, have force to dissuade them from using their votes to throw it off, they are fit for slaves, and can be only slaves. The highest functionaries of the general and state governments are amenable to the people for the proper discharge of their duties. But a freeman, when he votes for a candidate, exercises the right of selecting, among those who are eligible, subject to no authority under heaven. For his choice he is accountable only to his conscience and his God. And why should he not, in the most sovereign act he can perform, do himself the great justice of giving expression to the honest conviction of his soul? If, baving the will, he cannot do it, he is a slave. If, having the power, he will not do it, he is corrupt.”

U.S. gearing up, world teeters on brink of WWIII
Many nations face ‘existential threat’, religiously-motivated ‘slaughter’ and a ‘battle against evil’ says Congress
by Antarah Crawley | Last Modified 2/7/2024 at 11:03 A.M.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, 6 February 2024, The United Stated House of Representatives (House) Foreign Affairs Committee convened a Markup on Various Measures. Mr. McCaul (R) of Texas presided as Chairman. Ms. Manning (D) of North Carolina presided as the Ranking Member until Mr. Meeks (D) of New York arrived, his flight being delayed. Mr. Crawley (AM) of United Scribes and Court Reporters United reported on the proceeding on behalf of the House Clerk’s Office of Official Reporters.
The sense of the Congress concerned ongoing U.S. statecraft against what Members characterize as a modern Axis of Evil comprised of Russia, China, Iran (Persia), and its alleged proxies including the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) of Palestine, The Party of Allah (Hezbollah or Hizballah) of Lebanon, The Supporters of God (Ansar Allah or Houthi) of Yemen, and The Students or Seekers (Taliban) of the Islamic Schools (Madaris) of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, among others. Meanwhile, the Representatives continued to emphasize their support for their allies, particularly Israel, Ukraine, and Christian populations across the world. This whole ordeal smacks of the Christian Crusades of the Middle Ages, to wit:
The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Christian Latin Church in the medieval period. The best known of these military expeditions are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to reconquer Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Muslim rule. Beginning with the First Crusade, which resulted in the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, dozens of military campaigns were organised, providing a focal point of European history for centuries. Crusading declined rapidly after the 15th century.

During the discussion of H.R. 6609, To Amend the Arms Export Control Act to increase the dollar amount thresholds under sections 3 and 36 of that Act relating to proposed transfers or sales of defense articles or services under that Act, and for other purposes, Members of Congress intimated toward abrogating the Constitution of the United States of America to create an authoritarian (read “executive”) dictatorship with a rubber-stamp (read “supreme”) court.
Ms. Titus (D) of Nevada remarked:
At a time when U.S. weapons sales are reaching record levels, for some reason the Republicans on this Committee have decided that instead of needing more oversight of arms sales, Congress should surrender its already emaciated role and conduct even less oversight. We in Congress and particularly on this committee have a critical role to play in matters of war and peace, and yet this bill is another example of the steady erosion of legislative oversight. This time, however, it’s self-inflicted.
Dina Titus (D-NV)
[…]
This bill will […] prevent Congressional scrutiny on defense side deals that may be used to evade anti-bribery laws or how this would complicate reviews of U.S. defense companies’ political contributions to foreign policies. […] For the Republicans on this Committee to hold a hearing this past September entitled ‘Reclaiming Congress’s Article 1 Powers’ to now surrender those powers in this markup seems to me totally contradictory and hypocritical and a bit on the nose.
Mr. Davidson (R) of Ohio remarked:
Frankly, since all we seem to do it cut the checks and provide no check on executive authority, particularly when it comes to war-making or spying on our citizens, why not just go ahead and dissolve Article 1. [The Chairman giggled to himself, his microphone on.] We could amend the constitution and simply have a chief executive who could be very efficient.
Mr. Mills (R) of Florida remarked:
If we want to talk about abdications, for God’s sake, let’s start talking about how we can repeal the AUMF which is an abdication of Article 1 Section 8 Clause 11 or even the ’73 War Powers Act that gives executive credence to Republican and Democratic presidents alike to do carte blanche warfare. The reality is […] we have mechanisms in place already and I think that continuing to try and over-regulate, which we say that we want limited government, we want fewer taxes in the Republican party, perhaps we should start acting that way.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Pub. L. 107–40, 115 Stat. 224) is a joint resolution of the United States Congress which became law on September 18, 2001, authorizing the use of the United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the September 11 attacks. The authorization granted the President the authority to use all “necessary and appropriate force” against those whom he determined “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the September 11 attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_of_2001
[…]
The 2001 AUMF has enabled the US President to unilaterally launch military operations across the world without any congressional oversight or transparency for more than two decades. Between 2018-20 alone, US forces initiated what it labelled “counter-terror” activities in 85 countries. Of these, the 2001 AUMF has been used to launch classified military campaigns in at least 22 countries.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the power to declare war, in the following wording:
“[The Congress shall have Power …] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water …”

During discussion of H.R. 7089, To authorize the Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State to investigate allegations of violations of conduct constituting offenses under chapter 77 of title 18, United States Code, and for other purposes, bill sponsor Mr. James (R) of Michigan preached the word of God, saying:
Human trafficking must be eradicated everywhere. Modern day slavery is a major stain on humanity and decency. It is a sin. […] According to the State Department, ‘there are about 27.6 million victims worldwide at any given time.’ […] God’s will is clear. Luke 4:18 and 19 says ‘The spirit of the LORD is upon [me] because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind. To set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor.’ We have a duty to all, particularly those being trafficked into slavery. My bill empowers our law enforcement to liberate the oppressed and the captive, and I beseech my colleagues to support my bill.
John James (R-MI)
During discussion of H.Con.Res. 27, Condemning Russia’s unjust and arbitrary detention of Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza who has stood up in defense of democracy, the rule of law, and free and fair elections in Russia, Ms. Manning (D) of North Carolina remarked:
Mr. Meeks and I […] must implore that we find a way to support Ukraine and their existential fight for freedom in their hour of need. Failing to support Ukraine, failing to act now, serves the Kremlin, serves Beijing, and hurts our standing in the world, our national security, and our collective prosperous and peaceful future.
Kathy Manning (D-NC)
During a discussion of H.Res.82, Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the need to designate Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, the need to appoint a Special Envoy for Nigeria and the Lake Chad region, and for other purposes, Mr. Smith (R) of New Jersey remarked:
Genocide Watch has called Nigeria a killing field of defenseless Christians. Open Doors reporter that there were 5,014 Christians murdered in 2022, nearly 90% of the total number of Christians killed worldwide. And Vatican News reported that over 52,250 Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria since 2009. I am convinced there is more the US can do to protect these believers, and that goes for Muslims as well and promote freedom of religion.
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
[…]
Pastor Alika Yusuf […] has talked about how in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria [Christians] face violence and are being slaughtered — this is his words — because of our religion. This bill is very important […] It will serve as legislation to hold our government … [the Nigerian government] … accountable for the millions of lives facing existential threat from the extremists.
The Democratic bloc opposed the resolution. Besides Mr. Smith, Mr. Self, Mr. Perry, and the Chairman, all Republicans vacated the hearing room during discussion of this matter. Present in the audience were Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi and Pastor Akila Yusuf representing a network of 200 pastors and leaders.
Mr. Smith later remarked that he’d “met with the Islamic leaders; they’re amazing people. They get along, they’re friends — like so many other moderate muslims in Nigeria — with the bishops and the clergy that are here today, and others. It is this radicalized group, whether it be ISIS-West Africa, whether it be Boko Haram, or the Fulani. You know, the Fulani have now become a major — in the Middle Belt area — a major major killer of Christians.” Mr. Smith closed his remarks by emphasizing his “outrage” toward the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Mr. Self (R) of Texas remarked:
The [Biden] Administration is not that interested in Nigeria. […] The Administration has turned a blind eye to the crisis. The State Department inexplicably removed Nigeria from its special watch list as a country of particular concern in 2021 […] The State Department needs to reverse their course and pressure the government of Nigeria to end the persecution of Christians, regardless of who is doing the persecution.
Mr. Connolly (D) of Virginia remarked that “if we [the Congress] are concerned about the violation of human rights and the right of human autonomy and freedom, and we should be, that has to be consistent. It can’t simply be one group but not anther. And I thank my friend and I hope his outrage will extend to other groups that need our consideration and protection.”
Mr. Perry (R) of Pennsylvania remarked that “the current Secretary of State under the Biden Administration stated in his first few months that this administration does not plan to prioritize religious freedom.”
The Committee discussed America’s commitment to the Pacific Theater in its discussion of H.R. 7159, To bolster United States engagement with the Pacific Islands region, and for other purposes. Mrs. Radewagen (R) of American Samoa remarked that “the U.S. is a pacific island nation.” The Ranking Member Mr. Meeks stated that H.R. 7159 strengthens U.S. “engagement with Pacific Islands by requiring future administrations to develop and update a strategy for U.S. engagement in the region.”
In its discussion of H.R. 6046, To designate Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization and impose certain sanctions on Ansarallah, and for other purposes, the Committee discussed the Houthi’s operations in the Red Sea.
The Houthi movement (Arabic: الحوثيون al-Ḥūthiyūn), officially known as Ansar Allah[a] (أنصار الله ʾAnṣār Allāh, lit. ’Supporters of God’), is a Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaidi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe.

The Chairman remarked that “since October 7th, the Houthis have launched over 40 attacks on U.S. war ships and commercial ships in the Red Sea. These attacks have threatened a wide array of regional security and international shipping interests. Crews have been taken hostage, ships have faced near misses, and our American sailors have been working overtime to protect and defend America’s interests in the Red Sea. International shipping companies have been forced to reroute their ships, disrupting the global supply chain and driving up shipping costs by 450%. This is negatively impacting supply chains and the global economy.” He went on to mention that “Iran is providing the Houthis an arsenal of weapons, and while Iran was building a Houthi proxy army, this Administration say idly by pursuing a policy of appeasement.”
Mr. Perry remarked:
Let’s just go through what Iran is. The Houthis are just a proxy for Iran like many other proxies for Iran. Iran’s got proxies in Gaza, they’ve got proxies in Lebanon, they’ve got proxies in Syria — the whole neighborhood, doing Iran’s bidding. But I will tell you […] the Biden Administration in particular is so desperate for a nuclear deal with Iran that they are on both sides of this war, and they are on both sides of this war […] Just follow the facts yourself. I mean, being on both sides of the war goes like this: we’re going to approve aid to some of our allies in the Middle East to fight the Iranian proxies […] at the very same time we’re going to allow Iran to receive billions, maybe hundreds of billions of dollars, either directly from the United States or from sanctioned money around the globe that has been unavailable to them because of their malign activities […and] they supply missiles to Hezbollah, they supply all kinds of armament to Hamas, and they do everything they can to kill the Great Satan and the people that represent the Great Satan, the poor service members caught in the middle of being on both sides of the war; and three of them just lost their lives because they’re on both sides of the war.
Scott Perry (R-PA)
By way of background:
Iran, also known as Persia and officially the Islamic Republic of Iran,[c] is a country in West Asia.
Wikipedia
[…]
Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. It was first unified by the Medes in the seventh century BC and reached its territorial height in the sixth century BC, when Cyrus the Great founded the Achaemenid Empire. Alexander the Great conquered the empire in the fourth century BC, and it was subsequently divided into several Hellenistic states. An Iranian rebellion established the Parthian Empire in the third century BC, which was succeeded in the third century AD by the Sasanian Empire. Arab Muslims conquered the empire in the seventh century AD, leading to its Islamization; Iran thereafter became a major center of Islamic culture and learning. Over the next two centuries, a series of native Iranian Muslim dynasties emerged before the Seljuk and the Mongols conquered the region. In the 16th century, the native Safavids re-established a unified Iranian state. Under the reign of Nader Shah in the 18th century, Iran presided over the most powerful military in the world, though by the 19th century, a series of conflicts with the Russian Empire led to significant territorial losses. The early 20th century saw the Persian Constitutional Revolution. Efforts to nationalise its fossil fuel supply led to an Anglo-American coup in 1953. After the Iranian Revolution, the current Islamic republic was established in 1979 by Ruhollah Khomeini, who became the country’s first supreme leader.
Mr. McCormick (R) of Georgia remarked:
This is a constant pattern with the Biden Administration, whether at the border, with the cartels, in Gaza, with Hamas, with UNRWA, or in Yemen with the Houthis, this Administration constantly uses short-term humanitarian concerns to justify decisions that in the long run further deteriorate humanitarian conditions and undermine the United States’ national security. This can even be seen in the manner that the Biden Administration chooses to support Ukraine. They are more interested in a feel-good solution than in winning a war against evil.
This debate highlighted a sharpening contradiction between the Congress’s assessment of the innocent civilians and children of Yemen and those of Palestine.
During the discussion of H.R. 7122, To prohibit aid that will benefit Hamas, and for other purposes, or, The Stop Support for UNRWA Act, Mr. Smith remarked that “UNRWA […] is a massive entity that wants Israel utterly destroyed […] and those refugees would then take their place in Jerusalem in a new Palestinian state and elsewhere that is currently Israel.”
Mr. Meeks remarked:
Prohibiting U.S. funding of UNRWA while the people of Gaza are suffering an acute humanitarian disaster undermines the united states and Israel’s interests, erodes the Unites States moral authority and further endangers the lives of more than 2 million Palestinians residing in Gaza.
Gregory Meeks (D-NY)
[…]
The government of Israel agrees, which is why a senior Israeli official announced just days ago […] ‘If UNRWA ceases operating on the ground this could cause a humanitarian catastrophe that will force Israel to halt its fighting against Hamas. This would not be in Israel’s interests. It would not be in the interests of Israel’s allies either.’ UNRWA’s collapse would further harm regional stability, including in the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria at a time when the United States and Israel are seeking to deescalate and contain spillover from the war in Gaza. It would be a gift to Iran and its allies, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Bashar al-Assad
Mr. Perry remarked:
The Biden Administration has given UNRWA $730 million during its term here […] hard earned tax dollars of good Americans […] We’re sending them money since 1949 […] here’s what their doing, they’re relieving Israel of their sovereignty and their working on destroying Israel and the United States of America […] the Administration is on both sides of the war, but $730 million is going to the people that attacked Israel. We’re going to give Israel billions of dollars to defend themselves, we’re going to give billions of dollars to Israel to attack Gaza, and essentially level most of it, and then we’re going to ask for more money to fix Gaza. […] Since 1949 our American tax dollars have funded the United Nations Relief and Works Agency […] this isn’t the United States going over there; maybe it’d be different. Hopefully it would be different, but it’s the United Nations […which] seems a little hostile to your friends in Israel […] and I wonder, since 1949 whose responsibility is this […] maybe Iran wants to fund UNRWA, or the money can go direct to Hamas and doesn’t have to go through UNRWA. […] People are asking for a two-state solution and the Administration is now asking for the recognition of a Palestinian state. What happened on October 7th is what you get with an UNRWA-provided two-state solution.
Scott Perry (R-PA)
Mr. Mast (R) of Florida remarked:
Israel is America’s ally […] Palestinians are not our ally […] Nobody in here is willing to say that Palestinians are our ally; nobody wants to refute that Israel is our ally. Our ally Israel is at war with our non-ally, and UNRWA exists […] to support our non-ally. […] If we support UNRWA […] we are paying literally the salaries of our non-ally that is at war with our ally.
During Mr. Mast’s statements, the Ranking Member departed, and only one Democrat, Mr. Schneider, remained in the hearing room. In response to Mr. Mast, Mr. Schneider (D) of Illinois responded:
I’ll agree with you; Israel is our ally, in fact Israel is our most important ally in the Middle East, perhaps one of our most important allies in the world. The United States has no better friend than Israel and Israel has no better friend than the United States. […] The Palestinians are neither an ally nor an enemy; the Palestinians are a population […] that have been failed by their leadership for more than 100 years.
Brad Schneider (D-IL)
Approximately 100 years ago, Lord Rothschild and the British Crown took it upon themselves to shepherd and settle Zionists into the state of Palestine, and the region has been unstable ever since, to the extent that the United Nations in 1949 had to implement and operate basic civil society infrastructure on behalf of the Palestinian people. It is clear that Israel does not want to accept the responsibility of running the civil society of the people against whom they are committing genocide. Furthermore, if it became incumbent upon Israel to remedy the humanitarian crisis which they caused then they would have to cease committing genocide against such people, which is not in the interest of Israel or its allies.
Later, Mr. Schneider remarked:
The government of Israel has been clear that it does not want UNRWA to implode as it was noted in the Wall Street Journal just yesterday. There is a fear that if the critical services provided by UNRWA are no longer provided by the organization, it will be left to Israel to step in, or as was noted earlier in the conversation today, that Israel would have to pause it operations to defeat Hamas.
Later, Mr. Sherman (D) of California later remarked that “Israel trusts the other agencies of the UN, UNICEF, the World Food Program, et cetera, which surprised me frankly because I’m aware of the UN General Assembly and as a Zionist I am not a fan.”
Mr. Smith remarked:
UNRWA has proven itself to be, not just a malign actor, but to cause unbelievable child abuse to these Palestinian children who are taught to hate and they believe it. Why do we have young people, 13 and 14 year olds, toting AK-47s and being willing — really trying to think, someday I’ll be a martyr for Hamas and for a radical Islamic view. That’s absurd. Teach them to want to coexist, to respect other people, including Jewish men, women, and children. Instead, they’re taught to kill them and to hate them. That’s why there’s almost no end to the number of volunteers and people that go into Hamas, because they have been taught from the earliest stages to do so.
Mr. Mills remarked:
For those of us who swore an oath to our constitution, let us not forget that it is based upon our Christian-Judeo beliefs. And I don’t think that our Constitutional obligation is to worry about supporting funding to an organization that continues to go against the very people who’s trying to destroy the people of Israel.
The discussion of H.R. 7152, To direct the Secretary of State to establish a national registry of Korean American divided families, and for other purposes, specifically concerned Korean families separated by the South Korea-North Korea border (itself a legacy of the Korean-American War) even though the U.S. is currently embroiled in a U.S.-Mexico border crisis regarding the mass separation of migrant families coming from the global south.
Although Members of Congress give much lip service to the ‘existential threat’ faced by their allies, they do not consider the Palestinians to be facing such a threat from the ongoing genocide committed by Israel.

The Sense of the Congress:
A Special Report
UNRWA’s Palestinian curriculum a primary concern of the U.S. Congress
By Antarah Crawley | Last Modified 1/31/24 at 12:35 PM
WASHINGTON, DC — On 19 October 2023 and 8 November 2023 this outlet published articles on the United States House of Representatives’ (House) response to the Israel-Hamas War and particularly their deeply serious concern with the curriculum and textbooks used by the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) to support their mission of educating students in the Palestinian Territory. UNRWA performs numerous civil society and traditionally-state-sponsored activities for the Palestinian population, and is responsible for the public education of civilian students.
On Tuesday, 30 January 2024, the House Foreign Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations and Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability jointly convened a hearing entitled “UNRWA Exposed: Examining the Agency’s Mission and Failures,” largely in response to news that 12 UNRWA employees had been fired for their participation in the October 7, 2023 “Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.” The gallery of the hearing room in House Visitors Center room 210 was filled to capacity.
The witnesses were:
- Richard Goldberg, Senior Advisor, Foundation for Defense of Democracies
- Marcus Sheff, Chief Executive Officer, IMPACT-se
- Hillel Neuer, Executive Director, UN Watch
- Mara Rudman, Schlesinger Professor, University of Virginia Miller Center
Mr. Mast (R) of Florida presided as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, etc.; Mr. Smith (R) of New Jersey presided as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Global Health, etc.; Mr. Crawley (AM) of United Scribes and Court Reporters United reported on the proceeding on behalf of the House Clerk’s Office of Official Reporters.
Present in the audience were at least 15 constituents of the Code Pink: Women for Peace (CODEPINK) organization. They wore pink shirts bearing the phrase “Let Gaza Live,” and during much of the hearing they displayed red paint on their palms while making what could be interpreted as the Master Mason’s Grand Hailing Sign of Distress (and certainly many a besieged Palestinian would be wont to cry out, ‘O Lord my God/Ya’Rabbi Ya’Illah, is there no help for the widow’s son?’). Also present in the audience was a constituency of pro-Israel women wearing black shirts that read “Stand with Israel”. One of them in particular (the one to the far left of the below photo [the one staring directly at me]) was particularly antagonistic against CODEPINK, repeatedly summoning Capitol Police officers to arrest those who spoke out.
The Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, Mr. Mast, remarked in his opening statement:
Wherever you see UNRWA facilities, including schools, in Gaza, you are almost guaranteed to find tunnels, rocket launchers and weapons storages. During Israel’s incursion into Gaza, Israel Defense Forces uncovered a variety of rifles and ammunition hidden under UNRWA institutions.
Brian Mast (R-FL)
Al Jazeera reported in a 20 November 2023 article entitled What Israel’s video of ‘Hamas tunnel’ under al-Shifa tells us; The structure of the tunnel raises questions about whether it is indeed a Hamas-built pathway:
Tunnels in Gaza were first built in 1980 at a time when the enclave was under Israeli occupation, and before the formation of Hamas in 1987. They were constructed under the Egyptian border for smuggling all sorts of goods, including weapons, fuel and black market goods.
Over time, Palestinians realised that tunnels could have a military use. The first sign of the military use of tunnels was in 2001 when an Israeli military post was blown up with an explosive from underground. The tunnels entered Israeli public consciousness when Palestinian fighters emerged from a tunnel shaft and kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006.
Israel placed a blockade on the Gaza Strip after Hamas gained control of it in 2007. Tunnels became the means to bypass the siege and to transport food, goods and weapons. Under Hamas, the tunnels expanded strategically.
Al Jazeera
The Chairman continued, “We have seen footage and evidence of UNRWA teachers and staff praising and celebrating the October 7 attack on social media, referring to the attack as an unforgettable glorious morning and a splendid site. We read reports that at least 12 UNRWA employees directly participated in the attack.”
During these remarks, an audience member representing CODEPINK proclaimed, “It’s 75 years of occupation that has caused all of this and now it’s the starving starving people, 2 million people starving right now.” The CODEPINK member was led away by the Capitol Police while advising the officers, “Okay, don’t hurt my arm … I am 77 years old. I am an Army colonel; I am a retired diplomat and what the U.S. is doing — the Biden Administration is doing is [tantamount] to genocide. It’s a genocide that the Biden Administration is complicit in. The Biden Administration … is killing people just as the Israelis are. It’s our weapons, it’s our money … that’s doing this. And the money for UNRWA is very important to keep people from starving to death after trying to kill them all.” Numerous members of CODEPINK were arrested by Capitol Police officers for acts of civil disobedience and free speech.
On 26 January 2023, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini reported from Amman, Jordan:
The Israeli Authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on 7 October.
To protect the Agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay. Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.
UNRWA reiterates its condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the abhorrent attacks of 7 October and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages and their safe return to their families.
These shocking allegations come as more than 2 million people in Gaza depend on lifesaving assistance that the Agency has been providing since the war began. Anyone who betrays the fundamental values of the United Nations also betrays those whom we serve in Gaza, across the region and elsewhere around the world.
Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General
On 26 January 2024, Al Jazeera reported:
The US Department of State said it was troubled by the allegations, which it said pertained to 12 UNRWA employees. It said it would provide no additional funding to the agency until the allegations were addressed.
The Department of State has temporarily paused additional funding for UNRWA while we review these allegations and the steps the United Nations is taking to address them,” spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
Al Jazeera
The Chairman continued his opening remarks, stating, “Make no mistake; the attacks on October 7 did not happen in a vacuum. The sickness on display from UNRWA is rooted in something deeper within its structure and mission. It’s rooted in the double standard the world applies for them, from their definition of refugee to the hatred they teach the Palestinian children –“
During these remarks, another audience member from CODEPINK rose to their feet to proclaim, “Please do not defund UNRWA. It was established in 1948 for the refugees of Palestine. If you unfund UNRWA, it’s a death sentence. They’re already starving. Please don’t defund UNRWA!…”
The Chairman of the Subcommittee on Global Health, etc., Mr. Smith, remarked in his opening statement:
Pubic pressure motivated by explosive new evidence that UNRWA employees were directly involved in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, the Biden Administration last Friday as we know announced that it was ‘temporarily paused’ additional funding for UNRWA while it reviews the evidence. With all due respect to the President this was a long overdue response. Going far beyond the revelations of last week, however, there has been a long list of massive and irrefutable evidence of UNRWA’s extensive complicity and cooperation in Hamas’s antisemitic genocidal hate campaign. Like the Nazi’s before them, Hamas and their chief terrorism sponsor, Iran, they are committing genocide against the Jews.
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
The Chairman continued:
…[T]hese children from the earliest days of their lives are trained in hate for Jews and for Americans. Now we’ve heard how UNRWA’s textbooks, curricula, summer camps and official media are all infamous incubators of hate. And we’ve seen the evidence of its teacher’s administration’s involvement in — with Hamas.
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
During these remarks a male audience member dressed in a military-style black jacket rose and proclaimed, “You have blood on your hands! Shame on you! This is a genocide! You are starving children and people to death. This is a genocide and you are responsible for it. Shame on you! … Ceasefire now! You are killing people; you are killing innocent people … We will never forgive you for this … Shame on all of you…”
The Chairman responded to the outburst:
They don’t make their case. As you can see, the hatred coming out of that particular man is so sad. UNWRA, the UN Relief Works Agency was set up as we know in 1949 to provide aid and relief to refugees. 75 years later it’s still going, which is absurd, in a way, since nearby Arab nations will not permit the former to integrate into their societies. UNRWA provided education in hatred of Jews for the vastly expanded number of children, grandchildren, and great grand-children of the original refugees. UNRWA’s textbooks — and I’ve had meeting after meeting on this, including hearings — where we’ve actually read through the text books, full to overflowing with antisemitic hatred.
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
Witness Mr. Goldberg remarked:
Now when you look at the incitement of violence that has gone on for decades, the internalization in generation after generation to rise up and believe that they are refugees waiting to come back to what is today Israel to drive the Jews into the sea, October 7th is the logical conclusion of UNRWA. It is of course what they have been training generations to do with the resources we have provided going to these terrorist organizations to help carry out that mission.
Richard Goldberg
Witness Mr. Sheff remarked, regarding the fired UNRWA employees:
These are not a few bad apples. Rather, the institutional barrel is rotten. How do we know? We know by researching UNRWA’s educational infrastructure. In it, textbooks teach that Jews are liars and fraudsters who spread corruption which will lead to their annihilation. Students are taught about cutting the necks of the enemy; that a fiery massacre of Jews on a bus is celebrated as a barbecue party; that Dalal Mughrabi, who murdered 38 people and 13 children, is a role model. UNRWA educated that dying is preferable to living; that becoming a martyr will be rewarded in heaven. First graders are taught the alphabet by learning the words for attack and martyr. And fourth graders are taught addition by counting martyrs. These are just a handful of examples of incitement which run like a thread, as strategy, throughout the Palestinian curriculum which is taught in UNRWA schools. And our research shows the same violent jihadi educational materials are created on a large institutional level by UNRWA staff. … IMPACT-se has warned for years about the consequences of this hate education, and I ask you, what can UNRWA possible offer the next generation of Palestinians? Poisonous textbooks taught too often by extremist teachers?
Marcus Sheff
Mr. Sheff later remarked:
Textbooks are uniquely authoritative, especially in the Manna region, in the Middle East, where you get one book, one grade, one subject; and they carry the values, the identities that leaders wish to pass down to the next generation, for good or for bad. This is how we create the societies of the future that we want to see, through these textbooks, through education. … We know that one of the first things that Hitler did when he came to power was change the textbooks.
Marcus Sheff
Mr. Goldman remarked, in response to a question my Mr. Moran (R) of Texas regarding any prior removals of UNRWA teachers, that he recalled “a case of a headmaster of an UNRWA school who was moonlighting as an Islamic jihad commander. He was removed by an Israeli air strike.” His remarks drew uproarious laughter from the pro-Israel audience members and representatives. Mr. Moran replied, “Well that’s one successful removal,” and went on to ask if there was “any part of the educational curriculum or programming that is overtly pro-American or pro-Israeli, that teaches the benefits for democracy?” (The present author has presented this question for rhetorical purposes.)
In one of his last remarks, Mr. Goldberg discussed the United Nations’ inherent systemic structural bias against Israel, which Mr. Hill (R) of Arkansas interpreted to mean that “the UN itself is the most antisemitic organization on the planet,” to which Mr. Goldberg replied “100% correct.”
It is notable that:
[I]n 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent the Balfour Declaration to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, stating Britain’s support for the creation of a Jewish “national home” in Palestine […and] that negotiations on the future of the country were to happen directly between Britain and the Jews, excluding Arab representation. His famous announcement at the Paris peace conference would reflect this interpretation, stating that the goal “[t]o make Palestine as Jewish as England is English.” The years that followed would see Jewish-Palestinian relations deteriorate dramatically.
In 1918, the Jewish Legion, a group primarily of Zionist volunteers, assisted in the British conquest of Palestine. In 1920, the territory was divided between Britain and France under the mandate system, and the British-administered area (including modern Israel) was named Mandatory Palestine. Arab opposition to British rule and Jewish immigration led to the 1920 Palestine riots and the formation of a Jewish militia known as the Haganah (“The Defense” in Hebrew) […] In 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain the Mandate for Palestine under terms which included the Balfour Declaration with its promise to the Jews, and with similar provisions regarding the Arab Palestinians.
[…]
Under the British Mandate placed by the League of Nations after World War I, Jewish immigration to the region [of Palestine] increased considerably leading to intercommunal conflict between Jews and the Arab majority. The UN-approved 1947 partition plan triggered a civil war between these groups which would see the expulsion or fleeing of most Palestinians from Mandatory Palestine. The British terminated the Mandate on 14 May 1948, and Israel declared independence on the same day.
Wikipedia: Israel (retrieved 30 January 2024)
On 15 May 1948, the armies of five neighboring Arab states invaded the area of the former Mandatory Palestine, starting the First Arab–Israeli War. An armistice in 1949 left Israel in control of more territory than the U.N. partition plan had called for; no new Arab state was created, as the rest of the former Mandate territory was divided between Egypt, which occupied the Gaza Strip, and Jordan, which annexed the West Bank. The 1967 Six-Day War ended with Israel occupying both the West Bank and Gaza alongside the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and the Syrian Golan Heights. Israel has since effectively annexed both East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, and has established settlements across the occupied territories, actions which are deemed illegal under international law.
Mr. Issa (R) of California closed out the questioning by stating “that the record of UN is poor and that we must change the teachers of the next generation of Palestinians,” a statement to which no witness disagreed (with the possible exception of Professor Rudman who was the only witness to present a balanced viewpoint during the entire hearing).
These developments in the Congress’s assessment and treatment of educational curricula abroad presents serious concerns about the future of public school curricula in the United States. It highlights the increasingly important role of NOVUS SYLLABUS L.L.C. (N∴S∴), Universitas Autodidactus (U∴A∴), and United Scribes (U∴S∴) in administering a worldwide Political Education Bureau (Politburo) and publishing curricula for the development of self-knowledge, self-mastery, and self-determination. In the words of the Moorish Science Temple of America and 5% Nation of Gods and Earths, ISLAM means “I Self Law Am Master“.

Notes on Jurisdiction
A famous, centuries-old map of the Chesapeake Bay region appears beautiful at first glance, but Anacostia Unmapped contributor John Johnson sees foreboding and destruction. The map, created by Capt. John Smith and first published in 1612, was heavily used by English settlers. It shows a Native American village, Nacotchtank, on the bank of a river. Variations on spelling and pronunciation eventually turned the name of the area — and the river — into Anacostia. The tribe is officially extinct, but a resident of Anacostia, Jason Anderson, tells Johnson about his deep links to it.
The village of Nacotchtank (from which the name Anacostia is derived) was the largest of the three American Indian villages located in the Washington area and is believed to have been a major trading center. The people of Nacotchtank, or Anacostans, were an Algonquian-speaking people that lived along the southeast side of the Anacostia River in the area between today’s Bolling Air Force Base and Anacostia Park, in the floodplain below the eastern-most section of today’s Fort Circle Parks. A second town, Nameroughquena, most likely stood on the Potomac’s west bank, opposite of what today is Theodore Roosevelt Island. Another village existed on a narrow bluff between today’s Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and MacArthur Boulevard in the northwest section of the city.
National Park Service (NPS), “Native Peoples of Washington, DC”
The Anacostans’ name is a Latin version of their original name, the Nacotchtanks. The name came from the Indian word “anaquashatanik,” which means “a town of traders.” They were known for trading throughout the Chesapeake area, even trading fur with the Iroquois of New York.
Museum officials [note] that the Anacostans are mentioned at an exhibit on Native Americans in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Ann McMullen, a supervisory museum curator, said exhibits are designed to “focus on living people and not on Anacostans who have been absorbed into other tribes.” She said the museum works with tribes in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Pamunkeys and Piscataways, who are “descendants of people who were once here.”
Dana Hedgpeth. “A Native American tribe once called D.C. home. It’s had no living members for centuries: As the number of Anacostans dwindled, they merged with larger tribes in the region.” The Washington Post: Retropolis. November 22, 2018

300,000 attend mass protest for Palestine in Washington; masjid al-maghrib established
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — Approximately 300,000 people from every corner of the United States converged for a “truly massive National March on Washington D.C.” on Saturday, November 4 at 12:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza. Co-organizer ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition writes on their website:
Israel, with the full backing of the U.S. government, is carrying out an unprecedented massacre in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians are being killed with bombs, bullets and missiles paid for by U.S. tax dollars. This is the latest bloody chapter in the colonial project of Israel, founded with the objective of dispossessing Palestinians from their land; Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns.
ANSWER Coalition
NOVUS SYLLABUS (N∴S∴) Executive Producer (EP) Antarah Crawley (@DCxInfinity) said of his coverage of the event:
This is a video of my favorite band performing some of my favorite songs. This band’s members are frequently changing, as does the reason for which they band together, and they often only perform in the nature of a direct action of civil disobedience or of expression of constitutional rights [in public spaces]. The band is called decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and on November 4th 2023 they performed to Free Palestine in a moving concert of 300,000 people in downtown Washington DC. A revolutionary, empowering, peaceful, spiritual, and historical time was had by all. The band performed such classics as #freefreepalestine #ceasefirenow #shutitdown #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike and #ourstreets
Antarah Crawley
The Center for Strategic and International Studies has reported on the escalating trend of mass protests:
Toward 7:00 p.m. on the evening of the fourth of November, as the march of the mass protest made its way to the White House grounds from 17th Street NW via Pennsylvania Avenue, to the right side of the Avenue in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a ways after the Secret Service guard post but before the inner barrier colonnade, muslims congregated to pray Maghrib, one of the five obligatory daily prayers, or salah. The Maghrib prayer begins when the sun sets, and lasts until the red light has left the sky in the west, according to Wikipedia. Masjid ar-Rahman provides this guide to praying daily salah, which are Fajr (dawn), Dhur (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (nightfall). See the complete source.
The EP was riding past on his trusty steed when he observed the congregation facing toward mecca in diagonal rows; so he backtracked and stood at end of one of the rows to participate spiritually, although he did not know the manner of making rakah nor salah. The EP did feel the presence of God, so he remained there in meditative prayer. Other muslims came to pray, so the EP extended the footprint of the masjid to make room for them in the prayer line while he continued to stand at attention in meditative prayer. Other protest aids assumed the position of the doors and walls around the masjid, guiding the onstreaming crowd around the congregation; together, the EP and these aids ensured that the worshippers were not unduly disturbed by the surrounding masses. This arrangement continued until evening redness in the west went out and the last muslim ended their salah; and the masjid disbanded. After the last protest aid left, the EP himself got onto his knees to better commune with God/Allah, and he supplicated himself to God/Allah like the muslims had done in that place. He felt in his heart that during those past moments a divine thing had transpired there.

Department of Labor notice of proposed rulemaking could upset labor-management relations
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — In September 2023, the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor (DOL) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to amend 29 CFR Part 541, to wit, Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees.
The Summary section of the proposed rulemaking reads:
In this proposal, the Department of Labor (Department) is updating and revising the regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act implementing the exemptions from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees. Significant proposed revisions include increasing the standard salary level to the 35th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region (currently the South)—$1,059 per week ($55,068 annually for a full-year worker)—and increasing the highly compensated employee total annual compensation threshold to the annualized weekly earnings of the 85th percentile of full-time salaried workers nationally ($143,988). The Department is also proposing to add to the regulations an automatic updating mechanism that would allow for the timely and efficient updating of all the earnings thresholds.
Summary
This means that employees of covered employers who make less that $55,068 will no longer be exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLRA) minimum wage and overtime regulations as “white-collar” or executive, administrative, or professional (EAP) employees. The NOPR Executive Summary reads:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or Act) requires covered employers to pay employees a minimum wage and, for employees who work more than 40 hours in a week, overtime premium pay of at least 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay. Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA, which was included in the original Act in 1938, exempts from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements “any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity.” [1] The exemption is commonly referred to as the “white-collar” or executive, administrative, or professional (EAP) exemption. The statute delegates to the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) the authority to define and delimit the terms of the exemption. Since 1940, the regulations implementing the EAP exemption have generally required that each of the following three tests must be met: (1) the employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed (the salary basis test); (2) the amount of salary paid must meet a minimum specified amount (the salary level test); and (3) the employee’s job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative, or professional duties as defined by the regulations (the duties test). The employer bears the burden of establishing the applicability of the exemption.[2] Job titles and job descriptions do not determine EAP exemption status, nor does merely paying an employee a salary.
Executive Summary
This proposed rulemaking is causing some employers to reclassify employees who have historically been salaried full-time employees (FTE) with “white collar” exemption to wage-hour employees.
These changes are agitating labor-management relations, creating sharper contradiction in the employer-employee dialectic (“struggle of opposites”). Some employers are electing not to raise the compensation of historically EAP employees above the 35th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region, even if those employees live in the most expensive regions of the country.
The sharpening of this historical and materialist dialectic is resulting in a proportional increase in union activity and may very well catalyze the decentralized autonomous organization of the Office of the Plebian Tribunes as well as shore up the 1st Memorandum of the College of the Ancient Mystery.

40th Anniversary of U.S. Army Intelligence analysis and assessment of Gateway Process
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — On 17 February 2021 the Daily Mail reported, “TikTokkers discover declassified 1983 CIA report investigating if people can leave their physical bodies to travel through space and time using Gateway Experience’s low frequency sounds and relaxation techniques.” The present author recalls that he researched the report and identified a PDF copy on the CIA’s website after seeing such a video being shared on Instagram sometime that year. This author first read the report on 30 October 2023.
The 9 June 1983 U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (USAINSCOM) report, Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, was declassified by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on 10 September 2003. It is therefore presently four decades since this report was penned in top secrecy by Army Intelligence officer LTC Wayne M. McDonnell, and two decades since it was quietly released into public domain.
The Gateway Process is a technique for applied consciousness expansion designed to better enable practitioners to achieve out-of-body experiences, among other objectives. It also appears to provide the theoretical foundations of interdimensional espionage and interdimensional counterintelligence using remote viewing and other techniques related to interdimensional time travel. It may also acclimate practitioners to encounters with “intelligent, non-corporeal energy forms” (pg. 27). This particular iteration of the practice was developed by Bob Monroe of the Monroe Institute.
It is notable that the official PDF, which is found on the CIA’s website, is missing page 25 (after PDF page 26), a page which may prove even more valuable than the declassified document as it currently exists.
The present author recommends that every free-thinker, truth-speaker, and light worker print a copy of this report and read it and reread it whenever necessary, as it presents a most accurate recitation of the very source information which informed the New Syllabus. This author is so stricken by the equivalence of research findings and information between the New Syllabus Curriculum Suite Repository (C.S.R.) that he is convinced that the Gateway Process was involved in the carrying out of the Novus Syllabus Seclorum through his body in this space-time continuum.
In hindsight, this author recalls his education in the Daoist (Taoist) philosophy while attending The George Washington University in 2010/2011, and his silence-filled sessions of deep, meditative thought in which he explored the elementary composition of “reality” and “nature.” These sessions led directly to his authorship of Origends: A Primer on Singularity and Space-Time Progression, which comes down to us at 1 C.S.R. 57-77.
Furthermore, this author has come to the understanding that the development of the fictional character of Walter Kogard as a (very) thinly veiled alter ego of the author in 1 C.S.R. and the mission undertaken by this character at 3 C.S.R. has caused the experiences of Walter Kogard to “quantum-leap” from fiction into the reality of its closest analogue, the author himself. However, the original ending at 3 C.S.R. (in which Kogard “decompresses” into a beam on light in the InterZone), while remaining the true and original conclusion to Kogard’s hero-myth, projected an alternative ending involving the “Secret School of Ancient Mystery” to 4 C.S.R. and beyond. This “alternate reality” is actually a transmission of the Kogard signal from the silent depths of the O-Zone back into the KnownZone as a hologram of himself to build new holograms in the main holographic matrix. Therefore, unbeknownst to this author at the time, the New Syllabus Mystery School was manifest into reality via decentralized Gateway Process after he moved back to “Federal City” (Washington, D.C.) from “Empire City” (Brooklyn, New York).
In addition to illuminating the operative mechanism in the Curriculum Suite Repository, the Army Intelligence report predicts the New Syllabus discovery and development of Mindsoft and the InterZone of 3 C.S.R. 27-28.
Regarding Mindsoft, LTC McDonnell reports at 15. Brain in Phase:
The consciousness process is most easily envisaged if we picture the holographic input [the appearance of physical reality] with a three dimensional grid system superimposed over it such that all of the energy patterns contained within can be described in terms of a three dimensional geometry using math[e]matics to reduce the data to two dimensional form. Bentov states that scientists suspect that the human mind operates on a simple binary “go/no go” system as do all digital computers. […] In states of expanded consciousness, the right hemisphere of the human brain in its holistic, nonlinear and nonverbal mode of functioning acts as the primary matrix or receptor for this holographic input while, by operating in phase or coherence with the right brain, the left hemisphere provides the secondary matrix through its binary, computer-like method of functioning to screen further the data by comparison and reduce it to a discreet, two-dimensional form.
LTC McDonnell, pg. 9 (emphasis added)
Regarding the InterZone, LTC McDonnell reports at 21. Dimensions In-between:
[…I]nside the dimension of space-time where both concepts apply in a generally uniform way there is a proportional relationship between them [time and space]. A certain space can be covered by energy moving in either particle or wave form in a certain time assuming a specific velocity virtually anywhere in the space-time universe. The relationship is neat and predictable. However, in the intermediate dimensions beyond time-space the limitations imposed on energy to put it into a state of oscillating motion are not uniform as they are in our physical universe. […A]ccess is opened to both the past and the future when the dimension of current time-space is left behind.
LTC McDonnell, pg. 14 (emphasis added)
The present author can no longer consider it a coincidence that in this time of all-pervasive “conspiracy theories” being advanced on both the far left and the far right of the political spectrum, a foreign social medial platform with a majority population of Generation Z youth is circulating a once-concealed U.S. government intelligence briefing which vindicates virtually every “fringe theory” pertaining to the existence of, and means of travel through, multiple concurrent (simultaneously occurring) dimensions of time and space.
This rise in the tide — this sea change — in what has been coined “the collective consciousness” appears to be the work of interdimensional agents the Third Wave of the Antimasonic Party of the decentralized autonomous organization of free-thinkers, truth-speakers, and light workers united, although Washington politicians assert that TikTok is a tool used by the Chinese Communist Party to surveil and control American citizens.

Article 2
Toeing the Party Line
By Antarah Crawley
NACOTCHTANK, OD — These positions (planks*) are hereby promulgated for acceptance to the general membership of the Third Wave Antimasonic Party of the United States, from the Village of Nacotchtank-on-Potomac, Ouachita District, which sits on the river bank east of the federal city of Washington:
Plank No. 1
The historical dialectic of Freemasonry is to be condemned, and individual freemasons should be invited to renounce their oaths and affiliations with the fraternity, but may otherwise be tolerated. Pan-Hellenism is to be likewise considered.
Plank No. 2
Everything which is concealed must be revealed.
Plank No. 3
Take no action unless sincerely moved by conscience and belief and such action is carried out in good faith. Therefore, unless there arises a compelling reason to take a certain action, no action should be taken.
Plank No. 4:
Party Boss System for Political Action Coalition
Individual natural people called regional and state bosses shall receive and disburse donations as trustees for the general membership (GM) of the party domiciled in a certain region or state. For example, if a party boss buys a building with donated funds then the building is held in trust for the benefit of the GM. The boss shall conduct the party’s finances on the advice and counsel of a majority of the GM. The GM shall also constitute the national nominating convention.
*Note
A “plank” is a main axiom of the party platform. See:

N∴S∴ establishes third wave of the Antimasonic Party in the United States
by Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — The First Anti-Masonic Party, established February 1828 in upstate New York, was the earliest third party in the fledgling United States of America. The party emerged as a strong opposition force to the Jacksonian Democrats and Van Buren’s Albany Regency during the House of Representatives election of 1828. Originally a single-issue party, Anti-Masonic sentiment in the American Northeast was spurred by the disappearance and alleged murder of William Morgan, a former Mason who became outspoken against, and voiced his intent to publish a book critical of, the fraternity. Following these statements Morgan was arrested on “trumped-up” charges, and his subsequent “disappearance” was believed to have been committed by Freemasons from Western New York.
In [September] 1831 the Anti-Masonic Party convened in Baltimore, Maryland to select a single presidential candidate agreeable to the whole party leadership in the 1832 presidential election. The National Republican and Democratic parties soon followed suit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_nominating_convention#History
The Anti-Masonic Party conducted the first presidential nominating convention in the United States history for the 1832 elections, nominating William Wirt (a former Mason) for President and Amos Ellmaker for Vice President in Baltimore. Wirt won 7.78 percent of the popular vote and the seven electoral votes of Vermont. Soon the Democrats and Whigs recognized the convention’s value in managing parties and campaigns and began to hold their own.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonic_Party#Conventions_and_elections
The major paradox and triumph of Antimasonry is that although it declined rapidly as an independent political entity after 1833, it achieved its major success as a social or reform movement in the nearly total, albeit temporary, destruction of Masonry in those states where it was an active force. Politically, Antimasonry’s greatest achievements were the introduction of the national nominating convention to American presidential politics and contributions to the formation and development of the Whig party.
Vaughn, William Preston. The Antimasonic Party in the United States 1826–1843. Lexington: University of Kentucky Press; 1983
The Second Anti-Masonic Party, of tenuous affiliation to the first, was active from 1872 until 1888. It is therefore in this tradition that we establish the Third Wave Antimasonic Party (TWAP) of the United Stated of America.
Anti-Masonry was deeply committed to conspiracy theories, primarily the claim that Masonic elites were trying to secretly control the government […although] opposition to Masonry was not the Anti-Masonic movement’s sole issue. […] The Anti-Masonic movement gave rise to or expanded the use of many innovations which became accepted practice among other parties, including nominating conventions and party newspapers. […T]hey made direct appeals to the people through gigantic rallies, parades, and rhetorical rabble-rousing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonic_Party#Legacy
Similarly, the revelation and denunciation of the international masonic conspiracy (and allied power systems) is the primary platform of the TWAP; however, a party member need not necessarily harbor ardently Antimasonic sentiments. “The fact that William Wirt, their choice for the presidency in 1832, not only was a former Mason, but also defended Freemasonry in a speech before the convention that nominated him indicates that opposition to Masonry was not the Anti-Masonic movement’s sole issue,” Wikipedia relates.
It is probably not a coincidence that the First Party Convention in Baltimore was held in an Odd Fellow stronghold. Whatever the reason for touting the Antimasonic platform, it provides a broad and adaptable alternative to the ostentatious and disingenuous displays of the present Democratic-Republican party system.
Party Platform
Freemasonry is an ancient international conspiracy manifest through a subversive organization whose members have deceived the public for over 300 years and which operates behind the curtain of the deep state. Through mercantilism and control of international commerce, they are the most organized crime syndicate in the history of the world — but they are only the hidden hand and avant-garde of an even more elitist and secretive cabal of temporal rulers.
Our foremost demand is the abolition of Freemasonry, and a federal interdiction against the gathering of any secret society in any state of the Union.
We seek to unite the far left and the far right 180 degrees from political center which is squarely within the sphere of international Masonic control. It is time for the working people to unite against the rulership (the archons), the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie, and the landed gentry, and receive the return of the disbursement of the accrued value of their labor power which has been stolen over the course of their life through usury.
A bastardizarion of Templar Knights, pirates, mystery schools, and merchants guilds, Freemasonry has become a bane of civilization, and a scourge upon the moral fabric of our society. This scourge pervades both political parties in our two party system, in addition to the whole cabal of Greek organizations, professional societies, bar associations, medical systems, and international insurance and business concerns. The deep state society of Freemasonry must be eradicated, its veil of evil unveiled, its associations dissolved, and its property conveyed to the People, so as to prevent it from exercising its convert and subversive control over the vital forces and mechanisms of our civilization.
