Unconstitutional origins of the Endangered Species Act
By redefining Article 6 of the US Constitution, all globalists
now has to do is ratify international treaties that, in total, subvert the
Constitution and put all power into their hands. As a consequence, Americans
are systematically coming under the control of international law and the United
Nations, and flies and suckerfish have more legal rights than people.
To most American citizens the Endangered Species Act (ESA),
and many other environmental laws are a noble effort to save species from
extinction, and to protect the environment from reckless destruction by man.
The human tragedy caused by the ESA and other environmental laws is rarely
reported, hence most Americans also do not realize that hundreds of thousands
of their fellow citizens, primarily in rural areas, are needlessly being
stripped of their livelihoods and decimated economically by these laws as our
government uses them to nationalize their property.
The Endangered Species Act of 1973, the granddaddy of all
these anti-human US laws, derives its authority and power from five
international treaties, the most prominent being the Western Convention.
Section 2, paragraph (4) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 states;
"the United States has pledged itself as a sovereign state in the
international community to conserve to the extent practicable the various species
of fish or wildlife and plants facing extinction, pursuant to-
A. migratory bird
treaties with Canada and Mexico;
B. the Migratory and
Endangered Bird Treaty with Japan;
C. the Convention
on Nature Protection and Wildlife Preservation in the Western Hemisphere;
D. the International
Convention for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries;
E. the
International Convention for the High Seas Fisheries of the North Pacific
Ocean;
F. the Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; and
G. other
international agreements; and...
The ESA even extols the fact that it cedes sovereignty to
the international community by saying its purpose is to "develop and
maintain conservation programs which meet national and international
standards." These in turn are "key to meeting the Nation's
international commitments." (Bold and italics added for emphasis)
The Western Convention and the ESA
Even if they did not know of its existence, most Americans
who live in rural America will recognize with alarm some of the key language in
The Western Convention because they have witnessed it being applied in their
area through the ESA. The goal of The Western Convention is to "protect
and preserve in their natural habitat representatives of all species and genera
of their native flora and fauna...in sufficient numbers and over areas
extensive enough to assure them from becoming extinct through any agency within
man's control.... (Bolding and italics added for emphasis)
Some citizens have even experienced the ESA horror as it has
stripped them personally of their right to use their own land. Under the ESA,
private property can condemned by the federal government to create the habitat
needed, or possibly could be needed, by an endangered fly, sucker fish or
beetle, as well as more glamorous species like the bald eagle.
The Western Convention also provides for the establishment
and total protection of National Parks, National Reserves, Nature Monuments and
Wilderness Reserves. Within these protected areas, Section 4 of the Western
Convention requires the host nation, "to the maximum extent prudent and
determinable – shall... designate any habitat of such species which is then
considered to be critical habitat." Not surprisingly, in language
identical to the Western Convention, Section 4 of the ESA states, "to the
maximum extent prudent and determinable–shall...designate any habitat of such
species which is then considered to be critical habitat." (Bold and
italics added for emphasis)
According to Article VIII of the Western Convention, all
endangered species "shall be protected as completely as possible, and
their hunting, killing, capturing, or taking, shall be allowed only with the
permission of the appropriate government authorities in the country." Not
surprisingly, the concept of full protection, critical habitat and takings is
also found in the ESA. Under Section 9 of the ESA, it is unlawful to "take
any" endangered "species within the United States or the territorial
sea of States," or "take any such species upon the high seas."
If only National Parks, Reserves, Monuments and wilderness
areas received this kind of protection, the treaty would accomplish what most
Americans desire. But, it goes far beyond protecting these political
designations. Article V also includes " the protection and preservation of
flora and fauna within their (the nation's) national boundaries but not
included in the national parks, national reserves, nature monuments, or strict
wilderness reserves.... (bold and
italics added for emphasis)
Hence all land, public and private is under the jurisdiction
of this UN treaty through the ESA.
The usurpation of the US Constitution
The UN-administered Western Convention has provided the
hammer for denying landowners of their property rights in the US by superseding
the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution:
....No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for
public use, without just compensation. (bold and italics added for emphasis)
Most if not all of US environmental natural resource laws have
their authority derived from Article VI of the US Constitution, not Article I
that defines the eighteen enumerated powers of Congress. Article 1, Section 8
of the United States Constitution states:
Congress shall have power to:
Collect Taxes and Duties
Borrow Money
Regulate Commerce
Naturalize Citizens
Coin Money
Punishment of Counterfeiting
Build Post Offices & Post Roads
Promote Inventions
Constitute Lower Courts
Punish High Seas Offences
Declare War
Raise an Army
Provide a Navy
Make Rules for Military
Call Militia and Suppress Insurrections & Invasions
Organize and Arm Militia
District of Columbia
To Make All Laws for Above Powers, and Powers Vested by the
Constitution
According to the US Constitution, Congress has no power to
legislate anything other than in the eighteen areas listed above, and none of
those allow Congress to pass environmental law, except number 18, which is
defined in Article VI, Clause 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which
shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be
made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the
Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the
Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. (Bold and
italics added for emphasis)
As it was originally written, the Constitution was the
supreme law of the land. The laws of the United States had to be "in
pursuance thereof," or subservient to the Constitution. Likewise, treaties
could only be made "under the Authority of the United States." Since
the authority of the United States comes from the sovereign people who
delegated it to the US Constitution, treaties also had to be subservient to
it.
Although the founders thought it obvious and therefore did
not include it in the original US Constitution, the sovereignty of the people
was spelled out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution. For instance,
Amendment IX states, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the
people." Just to make sure future courts understood this, Amendment X
states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people. It was the people's ironclad contract that they
would never become serfs to the state. (Bold and italics added for emphasis)
Needless to say, the US Constitution stopped the globalists
from implementing their one-world plan dead in their tracts. They knew that
something had to be done to override the sovereignty of the individual. In the
case of property rights and natural resources, international treaties were
used. The Constitution began to be reinterpreted in the case Missouri vs.
Holland 252 U.S. 416, 40 S. Ct. 3822, 64 L.Ed 641 (1920). In that decision the
US Supreme Court held that the federal government may preempt state control
over wildlife under federal legislation implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty.
By putting liberal and corrupt judges into lower courts and the Supreme Court,
Article 6.2 of the Constitution was gradually reinterpreted to mean:
...all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land...
Such an interpretation fits perfectly within the globalist’s
agenda. By redefining Article 6 of the US Constitution, all globalists now has
to do is ratify international treaties that, in total, subvert the Constitution
and put all power into their hands. As a consequence, Americans are
systematically coming under the control of international law and the United
Nations, and flies and suckerfish have more legal rights than people.
"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the
glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and
animals and reptiles." (Romans 1:22-23)
