Timothy Baldwin – Be it Known to You, O King

BE IT KNOWN TO YOU, O KING

Evident intents and purposes, a long train of federal government abuses, and my utter disgust
with (what is even hard to consider) my country anymore, among other reasons, compels me
to be as frank and candid as I can possibly be, without fear of being labeled and marginalized
by those who cannot seem to grasp the concepts and principles I am about to unfold, or by
those who simply disagree. Anyone with an ear, who is able to hear; and with eyes, who is able
to read; and a brain, who is able to think, should know about the Copenhagen Conference
to take place from December 7 – 18, 2009
(http://en.cop15.dk/news/view%2Bnews?newsid=2599), in which President Obama is to
meet with other heads of state to address global governance concerns of the supposed global
warming crisis and its impact on the nations of the world. Openly admitted, this meeting is to
produce at the very least a politically (as compared to legally) binding agreement as a spring
board for future agreements, whereby the governments of the world can create global
regulations, controls and laws in response to global warming.

Now, it is no surprise that the President of the United States, Obama, is considering entering
into a partnership-type agreement with other nations of the world. This model of foreign
policy has been going on in the United States since the creation of the League of Nations
under the Woodrow Wilson administration. G.W. Bush was no different as he entered into the
Security and Prosperity Partnership (http://www.judicialwatch.org/SPP.shtml)
agreement with Canada and Mexico during his administration. Likewise, John McCain, if he
had become president, had plans on executing his League of Democracies idea
(http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/26/819810.aspx), whereby more than
100 democracies around the world would enter into a political compact of what George
Washington would have described as entangling alliances. The latest international alliance
and compact under Obama comes as no shock as he continues the empire-building and
global-unification legacy of the United States presidents for over 100 years.

Is the Copenhagen Conference to bring to fruition the goal of global unification, which
previous presidents have attempted but have yet to completely succeed? Many have
speculated that the Copenhagen designs would in fact create a global government
(http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=113219). The result of this would
in effect bind the citizens of the United States to a jurisdiction and authority it has never
consented to, formed or authorized.

Please understand: the most fundamental and basic natural rights expressed by our
forefathers is the right to be governed only by our consent, by a government we have created
for our interests; by agents who act in trust of our freedoms, rights and liberties, who are
accountable directly to their principals (the people who authorized their power); and by those
who have non-conflicting interests to those they represent. It is philosophically, physically
and politically impossible that the people of these states could retain their natural right of
self-government under any type of global government under the circumstances posed in the
Copenhagen Conference or under any other circumstances. Global governance, in any form, is
unnatural, unbiblical and un-American.

Now, whether or not the Copenhagen Conference produces a global government, or whether
it will be another attempt in the future, time will tell. But let us get something very clear and
straight right now. As soon as our government attempts to subject the citizens of these states
to the authority, jurisdiction, control and regulation of any so-called government not
contained in our state and federal constitutions, at that exact point and time, our government
has expressly declared itself to be at open war with the people of the states of America. Allow
philosophical forefather, John Locke, to describe it his own way:

“[U]sing force upon the people without authority, and contrary to the trust put
in him that does so, is a state of war with the people…[and] the people have a
right to remove [such a force] by force. The use of force without authority,
always puts him that uses it into a state of war, as the aggressor, and renders
him liable to be treated accordingly.” John Locke and C. B. Macpherson, ed.,
“Second Treatise of Government,” (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing
Company, Inc., 1980), 80-81.

If the federal government, through the executive branch, tries to use the treaty power of the
United States Constitution to override and circumvent the natural laws and principles as
expressed in our Declaration of Independence, upon which the constitution was predicated,
then that person and all those who comply with his orders to enforce such an act have
undoubtedly placed us in a state of nature and a state of war, whereby each person of these
states has a natural right to declare to the world that he is no longer willingly subject to the
authority of the federal government; that he declares his independence from this totalitarian,
despotic and tyrannical regime; that he invokes his God-given right to defend his natural
rights to be governed by his consent only; that any and all attempts made by these despots to
subjugate our natural rights will be resisted--with force if necessary; and in similar order,
each state in the union has the natural right to dissolve all ties in the union created by the
Constitution of the United States of America and to defend the powers granted to them by the
sovereigns (the people) of the state constitution.

You slave-lovers can try to justify this (illegitimate) federal government’s “right” and
“authority” to enter into such agreements (as well as all of the other myriad of
unconstitutional actions forced upon us) with other nations all you want. I, along with
millions of other Americans, will never accept your barbaric, brute-beast concepts of politics,
where your conclusions of government power and citizen submission equate to a king-peasant
relationship or worse. You can postulate all you want about the constitutionality or legality of
any treaty made by the president as being the supreme law of the land. You can cite U.S.
Supreme Court cases, legal articles, law professors, and politicians all you want. Go on: knock
yourselves out.

But know where freedom-lovers stand now and forever. My forefathers rejected those notions
as blatantly unjust, and so I must. My forefathers fought bloody wars to defeat the efforts of
would-be despots so that freedom may thrive, and so will I. My forefathers insisted on
creating a government that best reflects the evil tendency of human nature, to protect their
posterity from the Nimrods of this world, and I will too.

If you find my beliefs to contain fallacy and error, well then, we will just have to agree to
disagree, and I will let God be the judge of my actions and yours, if not here on earth, then in
the places hereafter. And I will let future generations curse your name or mine for the beliefs

and actions we hold and advance today. “But be it known to you, O king, that we will not
serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." (Daniel 3:18)
