On January 15, at 6:30 PM, Investigator Mike Zullo of the Cold Case Posse has been scheduled to give a presentation to a joint meeting of the Surprise Tea Party and the Sun City West Tea Party. Zullo will, according to the Sun City West Tea Party website, be speaking about issues from the 1950s that have a striking similarity to current events such as Agenda 21, World Government, etc. Specifically, he will be speaking about the Bricker Amendment and the Connally Reservation.
Prior to my being sworn into the Cold Case Posse by Sheriff Arpaio on April 17, 2012, I provided information regarding the Connally Reservation and the Bricker Amendment and the abuse of treaty laws to Investigator Zullo in February and early March of 2012. In addition, I provided the name of Frank E. Holman, former President of the American Bar Association from 1948-1949, and the location of Mr. Holman’s personal papers currently warehoused at the former Sandpoint Naval Air Station in Seattle, WA. Mr. Holman was a Member of the Special Committee for the Organization of the Nations for Peace and Law in 1944 and 1945. Mr. Holman was also a member of the Special Committee for Peace and Law Through United Nations in 1946 and 1947. Mr. Holman was a Rhodes Scholar and the Senior Partner in the Seattle law firm of Holman, Mickelwait, Marion, Black & Perkins. The firm in 2006 became Perkins Coie and now represents President Barack Hussein Obama II.
Originally a supporter of the United Nations, Mr. Holman soon became an outspoken opponent of the United Nations and worked tirelessly at his own expense for 10 years to expose the socialist and internationalist agenda to transform America into a socialist state through international agreements, conventions, and treaties associated with the United Nations. The agenda to transform America through treaty law was best expressed by the Communist Party USA in the April 1945 issue of their official journal, Political Affairs:
Great popular support and enthusiasm for the [creation of the United Nations and] United Nations policies should be built up, well organized and fully articulate. But it is also necessary to do more than that. The opposition must be rendered so impotent that it will be unable to gather any significant support in the Senate against the U.N. Charter and the treaties which will follow. (my emphasis)
In 1952, in an address to the American Bar Association, Mr. John Foster Dulles, before he became Secretary of State, issued the following warning to the delegates:
The treaty-making power is an extraordinary power liable to abuse. Treaties make international law and also make domestic law. Under our Constitution treaties become the supreme law of the land. They are indeed more supreme than ordinary laws for congressional laws are invalid if they do not conform to the Constitution, whereas treaty laws can override the Constitution. Treaties for example, can take powers away from the Congress and give them to the President: they can take powers from the State and give them to the Federal government or to some international body and they can cut across the rights given the people by the constitutional Bill of Rights.
As a result of these warnings, Mr. Holman pushed forward with the need for a Constitutional Amendment which would, at a minimum, prevent a treaty or other international agreement that conflicts with any provision of the Constitution from being of any force or effect. Mr. Holman’s efforts, with the help of the American Bar Association, lead to the proposed Bricker Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was submitted by Senator John Bricker along with sixty-three other Senators, as Senate Joint Resolution 1, in the 83rd Congress, 1st Session. The text of the Article is as follows:
1.) A provision of a treaty which conflicts with this Constitution shall not be of any force or effect.
2.) A treaty shall become effective as internal law in the United States only through legislation which would be valid in the absence of treaty.
3.) Congress shall have power to regulate all executive and other agreements with any foreign power or international organization. All such agreements shall be subject to the limitations imposed on treaties by this article.
4.) The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
5.) this article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.
The Eisenhower administration (Republican Party) and the previous Truman administration (Democrat Party) worked feverishly to defeat the Bricker Amendment. As a result, the Bricker Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was defeated by 1 vote.
As a result of this vote, America, nearly six decades later, is now facing the prospect of a U.N. Small Arms Treaty that may lead to civilian disarmament in America. We also have President Obama, who under the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 21, is considered eligible to be President. Have you ever wondered why no court in the land has ever allowed discovery regarding President Obama’s eligibility? Look to treaty laws and other international conventions and agreements that the United States is obligated to follow with the United Nations. Agenda 21? Look no further than the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights from December 1948. Everyone has the right to national healthcare; a clean, green environment; and the ability to freely migrate from country to country. Yes, even illegal immigrants from Mexico have the human right to come to the United States if they feel they are being persecuted in their homeland. Open borders are a direct result of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
All of the sovereignty-robbing treaty encroachments on our domestic law that the United States currently faces can be traced back to our entry into the United Nations treaty of 1945.
Some would argue that international treaties can’t override the Constitution. In fact, in 1957, the Supreme Court in Reid v. Covert stated it has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. That being said, it becomes clear that our elected officials are not following the rule of law and are imposing international treaties on America, and changing domestic law, all contrary to our Constitution. United Nations Agenda 21 is a glaring example of how the Constitution is being ignored by elected officials and trumped by an international agreement.
With the United Nations came the formation of the World Court. According to Mr. Holman, in a 1961 speech to the Suffolk Law School Alumni Association he stated:
The World Court is in no way bound or guided by any definite rules or principles of law. It is entirely free to make up its own rules and render any judgment it members can agree on, as influenced by each judge’s own particular legal concepts, and one may add, as influenced by his national pride or interest — and there is no appeal. It is against this heterogeneous court, largely made up of foreigners– a lawless court, because there are no established rules to govern its deliberations–that the Connally Reservation is designed to protect our American freedoms, both as individuals and as a nation.
The Connally Reservation was introduced in the Senate by Senator Connally of Texas and was passed by the Senate by a vote of 51 to 12 on August 2, 1946. In essence, it avoided the absolute adherence of the United States to the compulsory jurisdiction of the World Court. The United States was free to determine whether a matter was domestic and not under the jurisdiction of the World Court. The Connally Reservation is the key to keeping the World Court out of American affairs. Look for continued efforts to seek the repeal of the Connally Reservation by socialists and internationalists.
I provided much of the preceding information to Mike Zullo and the Cold Case Posse in late February and early March of 2012. Since then, I have done what I could to get the information about the dangers of treaty laws and our sovereignty-robbing entanglement with the United Nations disseminated to the public. On one occasion, on March 17, 2012, I had the rare opportunity to interview Mr. John Stormer on radio KFNX, thanks to A Call to Rights host Mr. Steve Kates. Mr. Stormer wrote the now famous 1964 book None Dare Call it Treason. On the air, Mr. Stormer confirmed my observations that I now offer here in this article. For those who have a copy of the DVD Agenda, Grinding America Down, Mr. Stormer is featured in the film making several observations about the socialist plan for America.
My question for Investigator Mike Zullo and the Cold Case Posse is this:
Why didn’t you prominently publicize the Holman information about the Connally Reservation, the Bricker Amendment, and Treaty Law abuse prior to the November 6, 2012 election?
In my opinion, you were in a prime position to expose this information with major impact prior to the election. You had the opportunity to show how America is being transformed into a socialist nation through international agreements and treaties. You had the very key to the process that socialists and internationalists are using to transform America. The public has for decades questioned the unseen mechanism that is transforming America. The abuse of Article VI of the Constitution and the unlawful utilization of international treaty laws by officials in government is the answer. Following the rule of man, instead of the rule of law, has altered our Constitutional Republic.
While I applaud Investigator Zullo for now bringing this information forward, and I would encourage people to attend the presentation on January 15, in my opinion, this information should have been prominently presented on a continual basis many months prior to the November 6, 2012 election. The Certificate of Live Birth investigation findings, along with Mr. Holman’s information about the dangers of treaty laws, the Connally Reservation, and the Bricker Amendment, should have been presented together. Had there been a sense of urgency to expose this additional information, it could have possibly saved us from an extension of the ongoing national crisis of the past four years.
I have always given credit to the good Lord for the idea to request Sheriff Joe Arpaio to criminally investigate the Obama Certificate of Live Birth. The good Lord also provided me with a 58 year old book I discovered on a dusty shelf that contained the name of Frank Holman on two pages within the book. Until the book was discovered, I had never heard of Mr. Holman. It didn’t happen by accident.
Frank E. Holman was a defender of the U.S. Constitution and American sovereignty. He continuously warned America about the dangers of treaty laws and the United Nations. He was a true American Patriot, and he believed in the following words of Thomas Jefferson:
In questions of power, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.

I’d like to know the answer to that question myself…………………
They would have cleverly covered up or discredited it. It is far more useful as a secret weapon. We just need to get are ducks in row and take action. Hopefully, we’ll be as wise as our founding fathers.
PLEASE EVERYONE READ THIS AND PASS IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN !!!
It’s even worse that we previously thought. A retired four-star admiral is now claiming that Barack Obama intentionally conspired with America’s enemies to stage a bogus attack and the kidnapping of an American ambassador so he could “negotiate” the release of a “hostage” and bolster his mediocre approval ratings just prior to the election?
The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “[T]he attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… [that] would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”
But something went horribly wrong with Obama’s “October Surprise.” Although the Obama Regime intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers…and the attackers, believing that the Obama Regime had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets.
So what is stopping anyone from re-introducing the Bricker Amendment as a state’s referendum to amend the constitution?? The best way to amend the Constitution is this method. We don’t need permission from Congress to reinforce the Law of the Land!!
Where do we go to begin a Petition?
BTW, I suggest this one also; the 28th Amendment;
Amendment 28:
“Congress shall not be exempt from any law that it passes: Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to Senators or Representatives; and Congress shall make no law that applies to Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States. It is henceforth established retroactively to all laws previously
passed by the Congress and signed by the Executive or passed by lawful majority if vetoed by the Executive.”
“It shall be Unlawful for any government official: appointed, elected, or hired, to use the power of their Office for personal gain.”
“Congressmen and Senators MUST FORFEIT all remaining funds in their Campaign Chests to the U.S. Treasury for Public Use at the end of any political campaign.”
“Congress shall write no law that does not meet Constitutional Muster: It must first be established that it is within the Scope of Authority clearly stated in Article I of the United States Constitution before the Congress can write Law. All Laws not listed in the Federal Registry are immediately repealed, null and void. All Laws found to be outside the Scope of Authority of the Congress are immediately repealed, null and void. Any law or regulation written by any Governmental Agency shall be immediately null and void, as only the Congress has any authority to write Laws or Regulations, except for agencies that may write regulations for strict use within their own departments, and have no context for any persons outside those departments.”
“All Elected and Appointed Officials in their capacity for office must maintain high ethical standards in their personal life. Any infractions shall be cause for removal and dismissal from said office. This includes, but is not limited to: Drunken driving, drug use, personal indiscretions, philandering, bad checks and fiscal irresponsibility in their personal lives; and pursuant to the laws and standards of the communities in which they live and serve. All Elected and Appointed Officials shall be given mandatory drug tests 3 times yearly and shall consist of blood, urine, and hair analysis.”
“A Citizens Group shall be established to oversee and enforce the rules of this Amendment. They shall be selected from their separate states and shall be comprised of 5 members from each State. They shall meet regularly in their home State and review the activities and actions of their elected and appointed officials and receive remuneration in the form of Exempt Tax Status and a 5% share of the campaign chests, at their highest balance, of serving officials, during their selected terms. They shall have the power to review and recommend impeachment and removal from office any elected or appointed official that fail to meet the standards of conduct established by this Amendment.”
This Amendment reserves and reaffirms the first 10 Amendments in their original intent, meaning and scope, as clear prohibitions against Government Powers and not prohibitions against the States or the People.
Mr. Reilly,
Thank you for the information you have provided in this article re: the Bricker Amendment and the Connally Reservation.
(BTW: Repeal of the Connally Reservation is the 46th goal for Communist infiltration and indoctrination of America as listed in “The Naked Communist” (1958) by W. Cleon Skousen.
“Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from
seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over
nations and individuals alike.”
The list of communist goals contained in the book was read into the Congressional Record by U.S. Congressman Albert S. Herlong, Jr. of Florida, on January 10, 1963.)
Your question to investigator Mike Zullo of the Cold Case Posse may be rhetorical, but deserves an answer in his defense. It is my understanding Sheriff Arpaio was asked (and agreed) to investigate Obama’s eligibility for the U.S. Presidency based on his alleged and fraudulent Hawaiian BC. Although that investigation was expanded to include other additional fraudulent documents relating to Obama’s identity, I don’t see how it could have included the abuse of the constitutional Rule of Law by Obama, Congress and the federal Courts, especially including SCOTUS. Asking the Cold Case Posse to add discussions of Obama’s and Congress’ treason to their legal investigation of his identity and eligibility would only muddy the waters of the official identity/eligibility investigation.
That said, I am not minimizing the importance of the information you have provided and discussed, although I respectfully disagree with your conclusions, as well as those expressed decades ago by Frank E. Holman and John Foster Dulles.
Although Article II, Section 2 gives a President “…Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties…,” Article VI clearly states “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…” As you stated above, “the Supreme Court in Reid v. Covert stated it has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty.” As affirmed by SCOTUS, the Constitution does not give Congress, the President, or the Judiciary the Authority or Power to supercede the constitutional Rule of Law by any means other than by constitutional Amendment, ratified by the majorities of three-fourths of the 50 States.
You state “…it becomes clear that our elected officials are not following the rule of law and are imposing international treaties on America, and changing domestic law, all contrary to our Constitution.” True. Probably 90% of the federal laws currently on the books are unconstitutional, beginning at least 100 years ago with the administration of Woodrow Wilson, the first real (Marxist) Progressive President.
We have a constitutional crisis! We have a conspiracy by the three Branches of Federal Government, and supported by a fair number of elected officials in many of our State governments, to overthrow the Constitution by usurpation of the sovereignty of the people through manipulation of the consent of the governed. However, regardless of the treason committed by our elected officials and the tyranny imposed on us, the Constitution remains the Rule of Law until a majority of the people in three-fourths of the States ratifies its end. This means it CAN be restored by the actions of the sovereign people.
The responsibility for relating your information to the people belongs to us. WE are the sovereign authority of the United States and it is OUR responsibility for restoring our constitutional federal republic by removing our current corrupt politicians and electing “new Guards for (our) future security.” It is OUR responsibility to refuse the unconstitutional laws enacted by Congress, to refuse the Executive Orders issued by the Manchurian Usurper, and to refuse the Court Decisions issued by activist Justices/Judges that violate our own understanding of the Constitution. It is OUR responsibility to refuse all regulations issued by unelected bureaucrats who have no constitutional authority to impose their rules on any American. It is also OUR responsibility to rein in our State and local governments that have subscribed to unlimited government and feeding at the trough of federal tyranny and thievery.
All elections are State elections and, except for the President, all elected representatives at every level of government (supposedly) serve the citizens of each State. Clearly this is area in which we must work to effect change—and we need to start now in order to prepare for the election of 2014.
In Arizona, we amended our Constitution to institute term limits for all elected officials. This was supposed to include our federal Congressional Representatives and Senators, but the supreme Court denied its application on the federal level. Why shouldn’t the citizens of Arizona be able to limit the terms of ALL of our representatives? There is no reason why we should have complied with the court’s Decision. It is OUR right to decide how long we will allow a representative to “serve” in any elected capacity. We are the sovereign people and Arizona (used to be) a sovereign State.
We have a governor who not only vetoed a nullification of the unconstitutional provisions of NDAA 2012, (co-written by our own Senator John McCain who deliberately removed the guaranteed rights of all individuals under constitutional Amendments IV, V, VI and VIII,) but Governor Brewer has indicated she will pursue re-election in direct contradiction of Arizona’s Constitution and Revised Statutes. Neither Brewer, SOS Ken Bennett, nor State Attorney General Tom Horne bothered to protect the citizens of Arizona in the last election. Clearly none of them supports the Constitution.
As a political activist and previous board member of the Surprise and Sun City West Tea Parties, you are in a prime position to lead the discussions and education of Arizona citizens. Will you?
Thank you for replying to my article.

Sheriff Arpaio was requested to investigate the authenticity of the alleged Obama Certificate of Live Birth that was posted on the White House website, April 27, 2011, and it’s relationship to Mr. Obama’s eligibility to hold the Office of President. The possible criminality of the Certificate of Live Birth according to Arizona statutes was the focal point of the request.

Very simply, when international agreements, such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNUDHR) of 1948, conflicts with Article II, Section 1′s definition of the eligibility of one running for the Office of the President, it becomes germane to the dicussion of “eligibility.” It can be argued that under Article 21 of the UNUDHR President Obama was and is eligible for the Office. According to the document, “Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.” Article 2 of the UNUDHR makes it clear that “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind….” Again, international treaties, conventions and agreements are germane to the discussion when they negate the U.S. Constitution as related to Presidential “eligibility.”
