Lawmakers embrace ‘Thirteenther’ conspiracy theory
A trio of New Hampshire lawmakers believe “what appears to the public as the United States Constitution is not the complete document” and have introduced legislation in which the state of New Hampshire would declare their version to be the law of the land.
In 1810, Congress approved a proposed constitutional amendment known as the Titles of Nobility Amendment. It stated that anyone who receives a title of nobility or honor from a foreign nation, without congressional approval, would lose U.S. citizenship. The amendment was never ratified by two thirds of the states as required by the Constitution.
“Thirteenthers” believe the proposed amendment actually was ratified and became part of the U.S. Constitution – but was later swept under the rug in a vast governmental conspiracy. They also believe that because American lawyers are referred to as “esquire” by the British Bar, a title of nobility has been conferred upon them, making them ineligible to serve in the U.S. government under the amendment.
House Bill 638, sponsored by Reps. Stella Tremblay (R-Auburn), Al Baldasaro (R-Londonderry) and Lars Christiansen (R-Hudson), would expose this conspiracy:
The purpose of this act is to recognize that the original Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits titles of nobility, is properly included in the United States Constitution and is the law of the land.
The act is also intended to end the infiltration of the Bar Association and the judicial branch into the executive and legislative branches of government and the unlawful usurpation of the people’s right, guaranteed by the New Hampshire constitution, to elect county attorneys who are not members of the bar.
This unlawful usurpation gives the judicial branch control over all government and the people in the grand juries. As long as the original Thirteenth Amendment is concealed from the people, there shall never be justice or a legitimate constitutional form of government.
Zandra Rice Hawkins, executive director of Granite State Progress, was on hand when Tremblay introduced the bill before the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee.
“Rep. Tremblay’s version of history is so laughable you’d think she was starring in a Mel Brooks film,“ said Hawkins. "Unfortunately, she actually gets to vote on public policy.”
