In Letter No. 13, Centinel reveals yet more Federalist tricks.  He calls out the Framers’ tools who are employing the newly instituted Post Office to further hijack Anti-Federalist mailings.  Centinel is astonished at this artful manipulation of smoke and mirrors. Passels of contrived correspondents, orchestrated by the nebulous Doctor Puff, are flooding the papers and journals with phony letters and missives “lauding” the new Constitution. Such subterfuge begs the question: Have we in America ever had a truly free press?  Some brave printers publish part of the real story. When they do, the people are resentful and disgusted when they learn the hard truth about the new system of government.  The Founders we applaud today practiced deception on a scale rarely seen in human affairs.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 - There is nothing new under the Sun. Censorship today…Censorship then. Our Framers were all too eager to lie to their citizenry. The Founders, inspired by avarice, stooped to the level of wielding Franklin’s creation, the Postal Services, to intercept and conceal research and communications skeptical of the new plan. News outlets conveying and/or endorsing the views of the Anti Federalists were discredited and defunded through dirty tactics and slander. Centinel, in hard-hitting letter No. 12, unmasks the deceptive Publius (Alexander Hamilton) as a tool of the designing. Centinel unveils the insidious methods of those we deify and lionize today.

In Letter No. 11, Centinel implores his fellow citizens not to fall for the scare tactics of the Founders. He expresses incredulity that such men of "education" could fall into the trap of such a contrived government. He claims that the Constitution is nefarious. He makes a cogent case that it will be so detrimental to the welfare of the young America that it is worth risking a States' separation, civil war and even anarchy for the time being. He entreats his fellow Colonialists to bide their time until a better plan can be worked out. He urges rejection of the hastily proffered government for what it is: a construction of shackles and chains. Read by Eric the Blacksmith.

In Letter no. 10, Centinel asserts that when the people are informed by an unfettered press about the system of government constructed by the new Constitution, they reject it out of hand.  He explains the skullduggery of the Framers and claims that they are the true enemy of the young America. He insists that America, under the Articles of Confederation (with warts and all) is a better plan for the nation.  Centinel avers that its issues can be resolved with persistence and deliberation.  Centinel is confident that his fellow citizens are not being fooled by the glitter put forth by the Federalists.

Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural.  It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial.  Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith.  Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."
