Con-Con is very very risky
Dr Malone's substack is a must read.
John Birch..American Christian Missionary to China. War Hero!
Dr Malone has a superb article posted about John Birch society — Know that I am not now nor ever have been a member of JBS.. but have friends who have been in it. I always have thought they were spot on target with their beliefs and politics. And most people don’t know much if anything about them. In the 1970s I had a family member say she didn’t like John Birch because of how he acted in the Senate hearings. Well, poor lady was confused. she really meant Senator McCarthy and the anti-American Communism hearings. Most Americans don’t have a clue.
Even Dr Malone just mentioned John Birch missionary work but didn’t mention he was instrumental in the rescue of General Jimmy Doolittle in the Tokyo raid as well as many of the Doolittle raiders. One needs only google his name and WWII pilot rescue in google and it is all spelled out. Indeed he did end up being murdered by the Communists.
Back to Dr Malone’s article - it is outstanding and I suggest a full read! As you read it, know that Phyllis Schlafly and her Eagle Forum was and continues to be against the concept of a Constitutional Convention… Yes it has been approved already by Texas. But like then Senator Barry Goldwater from Arizona.. I am opposed to the Con Con..Incidentally —Senator Goldwater, was amateur radio operator K7UGA and in the distant past, I did make a contact with him. Phyllis was a close friend of our family as well.
Here is Malone’s substack….
Here's a dissenting view by Prof. Rob Natelson. The main contention as I understand it is that an Article V Convention is NOT a Constitutional Convention. It is an interstate convention of States who, under their sovereignty and through appointed or elected committees by their legislatures, propose and adopt constitutional amendments in specific subject areas agreed upon by the committee(s) under agreed upon procedures, to be ratified or not by 38 of the states through the existing constitutional process. And here's the kicker, all of it is done within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution.
