A few years ago one fellow loaned me some papers on the Constitutional Rangers and was hoping for my support and involvement. I looked over the heavily copied documents and found what looked like the markings from being filed in the Library of Congress on the self-styled Charter.

Somehow that got blown up to be an Act of Congress. I copied the filing of Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike in the same Library of Congress for my friend. I also went to a meeting at Village Inn but wolfed down a piece of pie and left after hearing that the FBI stole the Charter out of the Library of Congress.

That same friend had one of the main guys (about three Main Guys I think; about the same number as all the Constitutional Rangers in total) housesitting while out of State and his home was ransacked; totally ransacked. The Main Guy called somebody else I know and went to help him with some code officers up in Black Forest north of town. Somebody told Main Guy, "You are what is wrong with America - people like you!"

Well this elderly Main Guy retorts, "If I wasn't a peace officer I would be cleaning up the street with you right now!"

These days with so many revenue avenues that is assault; to say something like that, even in return for an insult. About ten minutes after Main Guy left my mutual acquaintance friend's home the deputy sheriff was pounding away at the front door.

Oh well. So when I get wind of this I told my friend that I am still waiting on the first fellow's request two years ago for some kind of detail about this 100% Congressional vote endorsing the Charter for the Constitutional Rangers and that I am still hoping these guys are more real than myth - but if they want to blab about Congressional authority they better come up with a citation.

I got a date - March 7, 1980. Cool.

So I got a look: attached

I photographed the page and took off. Then a couple hours later I read it a couple times from my camera display and recalled seeing no such entry in the Record ever. What is that when the Senate meets for two seconds?

I went back and discovered the order (which I somehow forgot to photograph, or maybe I failed to press the shutter button fully, I don't know why). But we see the House taking Friday and Monday off. We see for some bizarre formality that the Senate convened for two seconds.

I started thinking, "Is this what it looks like when the Congressional Record has a page deleted?" In conjunction with a wild rumor about the FBI undoing and removing an entry in the Library of Congress I could feel the excitement of conspiracy.

But as I left the repository today it struck me much more likely that the Constitutional Rangers simply called upon such an ambiguous day for a hearing in Congress that never occurred.

My friend is a bit entrenched and will convey any information he gets hold of. I really do hope there was some kind of delegation of authority to this Charter but really doubt it is true at the moment.

Maybe somebody here can give me some leads; well, even rumors and legends are welcome. I am just not buying anything about Acts of Congress until I can actually find Acts of Congress, allright?
