Report of Eagle Forum of California’s 25th Annual Constitution Day Celebration, for the 238th Birthday of the Constitution

The program began with a welcome by CEO Orlean Koehle.  The opening prayer was given by Father Jeffrey Keyes of St. Eugene’s Church.  Singers Jason Lowry and Terry Lee Crandall gave beautiful renditions of God Bless the USA and Amazing Grace. 

As a tribute to honor Charlie Kirk’s remarkable life, a short video was shown that was created by Turning Point USA. Our MC Captain Phil Graf was introduced who announced the rest of the program. 

Lunch prayer and blessing on the food was given by Frauka Kozar, a member of the SCEF board, and the closing prayer was given by Gloria Pruyne, the President of the Orange County Eagle Forum Chapter.

The first speaker was Debbie Bacigalupi, a rancher’s daughter from Siskiyou County, CA  and former candidate for Congress. She told of the many ways our rural property owners are under attack with the destruction of dams that happened in 2023-24 with 4 dams on the Klamath River being destroyed that affects the steady flow of water that used to come to the ranchers and farmers. No longer are there any reservoirs to hold the water for emergencies such as putting out fires, plus, the cleanest form of producing energy – hydraulic is now gone. Debbie showed slides of wolves being introduced into Northern California.  Some ranchers are losing hundreds or their sheep and calves.  The wolves don’t kill and eat their prey.  They just love to kill, so most of the animals are left to slowly bleed to death with parts of their bodies missing. Since these wolves are on the endangered species list, any rancher who would dare to shoot one could face years in prison and enormous fines.

The second speaker was Patrick Wood, economist from Mesa, Arizona, and author of several books on Technocracy.  He told us of what he believes is the greatest threat to our Constitution and to our freedoms and way of life today is Technocracy and AI.  The Technocrats have been planning since back in the 1930s to take over controlling our nation and the world.  We are so much closer now with AI.  Patrickfigures we have maybe three years before AI will have taken over everything, including running governments throughout the world.  What can we do?  First of all, get informed and get prepared.  Go to Patrick Wood’s website TechnocracyNews.com.

We then had a trivia contest under the direction of Jennifer Gunderson, our young adult eagle leader, and her sister Julie Cooney.  It was a competition among tables with ten questions to answer about the Constitution.  The winning table got prizes and got to go to the lunch line first.                                                                                                             

After lunch, we had a play – A Scenario of a Possible Article V Convention – 17 people took part, playing various parts acting out what could happen if an Article V Convention actually took place.  We had audience participation with Capt. Phil as our stage manager and showing them applause signs or to say Yay or Nay, etc.  It started out as a normal convention, with the Speaker of the House welcoming everyone and calling for a pledge of allegiance to the flag, that was led by Mark Herr Sr. an airforce vet.  But there was no opening prayer.

    It was easy to see how in the course of one day, it became a run-away convention.  Liberal delegates voted to change the rules, so it would no longer be necessary to send any amendments or changes to the Constitution out to the States to be ratified. The delegates would just vote for their ratification or any changes right there at the convention.  It was then proposed by two liberal professors, who do not like our Constitution and consider it outmoded and not relevant today, to do away with it and bring in a new one called the New States Constitution, so that is what happened.  There were not enough votes from those who considered themselves conservative and supporters of the Constitution to counter the many liberals at the Convention who wanted to do away with the Constitution. 

Soon, the delegates were stunned to watch as their precious US Constitution was thrown out and a new.one brought in.  Our entire form of government was changed.  Congressmen were shocked to find out that they were now unemployed, no longer part of Congress, since Congress was dissolved, the same with the Supreme Court, and the Executive branch, and all of the various departments under the Executive, including the FBI and the military.  They were now without jobs. It was also the same with all state legislators who thought this was a good idea.  They were now unemployed as well. The New States Constitution puts the entire nation under ten large regions, no more 50 states.  

The play ends with the Secretary General of the UN replacing the Speaker of the House.  He takes over the lectern and explains what life will be like for the nation now under their new Constitution.  The UN will be in charge until the parliamentary system is formed, and the new states are up and running.  All elections will be canceled, and new leaders will be appointed by either the UN Secretary General, or the ten governors of the new regions who had already been selected by Obama years earlier.  The Secretary General also explains that one of the first things that will happen, following an amendment that was earlier passed in the convention, all guns would be gathered up at people's homes across the nation and confiscated. 

As the stunned, distraught delegates file out of the convention hall, many of them are in tears.  They realize that they have just participated in the end of the greatest Constitution that was ever upon the face of the earth.  Thinking they were going to make it better by adding more amendments to it, they instead were duped into being part of a plan that had obviously been in the works for years.  It easily became a run-away convention and there was no holding back what happened next.  The precious US Constitution was voted to be thrown out, and a new Constitution was voted in. 

As the delegates file out, they are met by armed UN Peacekeepers who have replaced the local police.  Mary and Richard Brown, delegates from Arizona and their friend Diane Turley, who were interviewed by FOX news reporters that morning when they first arrived and were so excited for this day to finally come, are stopped by the same reporters as they file out.  They are asked how they feel now about what happened at the convention.  Mary answers, “This is the saddest day of my life. I am so sorry that I was ever a part of this.”  Richard says, "We are so embarrassed and ashamed to think that we were duped into being here— that we took part in helping to destroy the greatest nation and form of government and the greatest Constitution that has ever existed on the face of the earth."  Diane answers, "We now realize that this convention was the globalists’ plan from the beginning, and much stealth and deception has gone into the preparation for this day. If only this day had never been allowed to take place!"  Glenn Beck, who had tried to prevent this run-away convention from happening, replies to the reporters, "I am in a state of shock.  It all seems like a very bad dream.  Everything is now going to be turned upside down in this new UN Communist regime.  I also don’t expect my television show will be allowed, nor will FOX news continue on. There will just be one news outlet – owned, controlled and operated by the new government."  

It was shortly after that interview, that Melanie, the main reporter, received word from FOX news that this was their last broadcast.  She states, "What Glen Beck predicted just happened.  FOX news studios have just been seized by the new “interim” government, and we will no longer be broadcasting. It looks like the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech and freedom of the press have just disappeared along with our US Constitution. Her companion reporter Angie states, "Farewell, our beloved FOX news audience. We wish you well in this 'brave new world.'”    

Our Keynote Speaker, Mark Herr Sr. from the state of Washington spoke after the play.  He is the founder and president of the Center for Self Governance, and the author of Speaking the Language of Liberty.  He teaches classes on self governance and equips people with the tools they need to navigate government and society.  He gave us many innovative ideas and knowledge about the Roman vs the Greek systems of government. One can go onto his website and attend the classes he teaches through zoom.  His website is centxerforselfgovernance.com.

After a few closing remarks by Orlean Koehle about having courage and putting on the full armor of God, the meeting ended with a raffle and auction. 

We received wonderful comments by those in attendance, and Mark Herr Sr. asked if he could put our play into some format with AI units acting out the parts.  We will let you know when that comes out.
