Revised: The Constitution of the New United States of America

We, the Ruling Class of the New United States of America, in order to form a more perfect home for corporations, establish Justice for some, insure occasional Domestic Tranquillity, provide for Defense and Offense, and secure the blessings of liberty only to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the New United States of America.

Article 1

Henceforth the power to declare war shall no longer reside in the Congress. Because the Congress has abdicated its duty, the power to declare war shall reside with the Commander-in-chief, or any member of the Cabinet who happens to be having a bad day.

Article 2

Henceforth, the right of Eminent Domain shall extend to corporations. Because corporations have shown an extraordinary level of charity and benevolence to the citizens of this sovereign nation, the rights and privileges of ownership of all privately held property shall now be automatically transferred to the nearest corporation. The right of private ownership of property by ordinary citizens is hereby abolished.

Article 3

The rights and privileges of personhood, having been granted to corporations by previous official edict, shall be expanded. Henceforth, only corporations shall be allowed to vote. Ordinary citizens are hereby stripped of their personhood. All rights and privileges formerly held by individual citizens are now rendered null and void.

Article 4

The Right of Sovereign Immunity, having been ordained by our Creator under the principle of the Divine Right of Kings, shall be expanded to include all who are in the Ruling Class.

Article 5

Henceforth, the Court system is closed to all except the moneyed elite. Since that is the way that it has been for a long time, this document will legitimize it.

Article 6

Henceforth, all crimes, felonies, misdemeanors, traffic violations etc. shall be punishable by death. It is in the interest of society to maintain order. Capital Punishment will insure adherence to the Rule of Law.

Article 7

Henceforth, the Right to Trial by Jury is abolished. Guilt or innocence will be determined by the judgment of the Commander-in-chief.

Article 8

Dissent contributes to disorder in society. Henceforth, all dissenters will be silenced and/or neutralized in the most efficient way.

Article 9

The word of the Commander-in-chief shall be the Supreme Law of this Land and all other Lands. All, in this country and everywhere on the planet, are hereby ordered to abide by it. Any violation shall be considered to be an Act of Treason, punishable by torture and death. Rights of citizens in other countries shall not be recognized. All on the planet are now subject to the Law of the Commander-in-chief. The sovereignty of other nations is no longer recognized.

Article 10

All rights and privileges not enumerated in this document shall revert to the Supreme Commander-in-chief.
