The National Archives published a story titled “Revealed: Paler’s New CEO Wants to Hold a Convention That Would Let George Soros Rewrite the Constitution
Paler’s new CEO is the public face of the Convention of States, which would rewrite the U.S. Constitution. Soros is a big supporter.
Reports say that Mark Meckler, the new interim CEO of Parler, now supports a “Convention of States” that would give George Soros and other interest groups the power to rewrite the Constitution.
Meckler, who was named interim CEO of Paller after the removal of founder John Matze, now heads the State Convention Project, a so-called “grassroots” organization that is pushing for a convention under Article V of the Constitution.
The project initially sounded attractive, describing itself as “a national effort to convene a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, limited to proposing amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officers and members of Congress.
However, a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities argues that such restrictions on Article V conventions are impossible because the states have no control over what can and cannot be discussed at conventions, and no one else has explicit constitutional control over them.
Former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger wrote in 1988, “There is no way to effectively limit or suppress the actions of a constitutional convention. The Constitutional Convention can make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress may try to restrict an amendment or an issue of the Constitutional Convention, but there is no way to guarantee that the Convention will comply. After the Constitutional Convention convenes, if we don’t like the agenda of the Convention, it will be too late to stop the Convention.
Conservative Justice Antonin Scalia (D-CA) expressed this same view in 2014.” I certainly don’t want a constitutional convention,” Scalia said.” Wow! Who knows what will come out of it?”
It’s no surprise, then, that the Convention of States project, along with George Soros and other leftist advocacy groups, is pushing for a convention, and once it happens, they’ll likely push to put all the constitutional amendments on the table.
The New Republic noted in 2014 that “George Soros, the financier of global fascism, is pumping millions of dollars into the Article V movement promoted by “top conservative voices, including Mark Levin. “
A spokesman for the John Birch Society, a pro-Anti-Communist conservative group, told the National Archives that Meckler is the “propaganda face” of the Constitutional Convention movement, noting that he seems “at odds with his wording about the Article V convention and his own description of the ‘convention of states.
“He advocated a ‘single-issue constitutional convention’ in his 2012 book, but he has declared under oath that an Article V convention is not a constitutional convention,” a John Birch Society spokesman told the National Archives.” As well, he moderated the Constitutional Convention seminar with Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig. He again swore that the Article V Convention was not a constitutional convention.”
Numerous grassroots Republican activists confirmed to The National Archives that no way could be imagined to limit the scope of an Article V convention.
Many fear that the convention will result in Soros-sponsored cuts to existing constitutional protections, including freedom of speech and religion, the right to privacy and the right to bare arms.
A spokesman for the John Birch Society also noted that while Meckler has “maintained that the ‘State Convention’ is a grassroots-funded operation, with his wife as the sole development officer, and that they operate out of their house,” available tax documents show that the organization pays its staff a high salary, and that it has been involved in “advocacy services,” “fundraising” and “fundraising. fundraising” and “paying influential lobbyists (including former senators)” for thousands of dollars.
“This seems disproportionate to a grassroots operation,” the spokesman said.
It’s unclear why Paller, which is funded and partially owned by powerful Republican donor Rebekah Mercer, chose Mercer as their interim CEO. on Twitter, Mercer still doesn’t mention Paller in his bio section, noting instead that he is “president of the State Convention Project.
