Like what's happening to our nation? I don't either. It wasn't that many years ago when a million dollars was a lot of money. It's still a respectable sum but nothing compared to billions and trillions. Now we're talking serious money! It would really be nice if these mind boggling sums weren't debt, but they are and things don't appear to be getting any better. It's time for "We the people" to take informed action.
A youth group connected to the Campaign for Liberty has made up pocket size editions of the US Constitution to distribute to as many people as possible. Makes for good reading. As concerns money, this document clearly assigns the responsibility to Congress "to print and coin money, and to regulate the value thereof." In 1913 this nest of vipers created the Federal Reserve System. The Sixteenth Amendment was adopted by a small quorum of the Senate at Christmas time of that year, when many of their colleagues were at home with their families. Not only was this unconstitutional fraud imposed on the people but the amendment has never been properly ratified. In addition the Sixteenth Amendment specifically stated that it was not authorized to impose any new taxes.
The Federal Reserve prints fiat money out of thin air and lends it to the government at interest. It has never been audited, answers to no one, and has been looting the wealth of this nation for ninety-six years. We have had depressions, inflation, wild business cycles - all the things that the Fed was supposed to help us avoid. During the Great Depression the Fed reduced the money supply by one-third, at the very time when more money should have been made available. The Federal Reserve is a private corporation run by bankers, for bankers, with little regard for the well being of this nation and its people. But this power is only an illusion. Oh, the Fed doesn't have to answer to Congress, the President, or the Supreme Court, but it will ultimately be answerable to the people. And the time is now.
We the people can cancel all debt, personal and private, regardless the number of zeroes involved. It's a simple idea. Let's take it step by step.
The Federal Reserve is a corporation. It charges interest on the loans it makes to the government, therefore it is a for-profit corporation. As a profit making corporation it has never been legislated as immune from paying taxes. Corporations pay income taxes. As a corporation the Federal Reserve is liable for income taxes because it has never been declared exempt, and there is no reason why it should be. Has the Fed ever paid corporate income taxes? Do pigs fly?
The Attorney General of the United States can and will bring formal charges of Income Tax Evasion (remember Al Capone?) against the Federal Reserve if enough of the people stand up and demand it. Write to your Senators and Congressmen, demand that they restore their constitutional mandate and put this corrupt and criminal Central Bank out of business. The interest and penalties alone would be enough to wipe out all our national debt, which is in reality the people's debt.
Get busy.

Silver Lining - An Open Letter to Obama
Dear President Obama,
I hope that you will regard this letter in the spirit in which it is intended: true peace and justice for the people of this great nation. Your administration has come in for a fair amount of criticism over such things as your health care reforms, Check Card unionization, the National ID Card, implanted RDIF chips, the North American Union, and several other instances of increased government control of the lives of American citizens. As it turned out that protesters at one of your latest appearances were carrying rifles, it may be time to settle down and take a hard look at where we are.
Abraham Lincoln, without whose action in 1863 you would in all likelihood be sitting in the back of a bus instead of the oval office, said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." He also said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Our house, to which the voters gave you the keys in 2008 is sorely divided and this condition cannot remain unattended much longer.
One of your campaign promises was to end the war in Iraq, a war based on the lies and misrepresentations of the Bush regime, acts of treason that have so far gone unaddressed on your watch. We still don't have the truth about 911 and we the people are getting a bit hot under the collar on that issue. So, let's talk.
Firstly, I believe it would be well to formally introduce you to the people, we the people, whom you have been chosen to serve. Contrary to popular opinion we are an intelligent, honest, and decent people, and when roused to action we are capable of rising to great heights of industry and resourcefulness. We were the "arsenal of democracy" not so many years ago when we defeated totalitarianism abroad. Do you think we will tolerate totalitarianism here at home? Think again. Protesters carrying rifles suggest that we won't and that we are dangerously close to making that point in the most unambiguous of terms.
As to the war in Iraq, there is one sense in which it is not as wasteful as it may appear. Our troops are helping the cause of liberty, not for the Iraqis but for ourselves. A quote from another great leader in history, Tzar Peter the Great of Russia will help make the point.
Toward the end of the 17th century Russia was at war with Sweden under Charles XII and doing very poorly. Russia was sorely unprepared for the war and suffered a number of defeats. Peter's minsters approached the Tzar and asked what could be done to remedy the situation. Referring to the Swedes Peter replied, "Watch them, they are teaching us how to beat them."
You may recall the federal law enacted in 1878 called Posse Comitatus which prohibits the employment of federal troops against American citizens. How many troops does the Pentagon want to retain in this country for national emergencies and crowd control- 400,000? What does this have to do with the war in Iraq? Simple.The Iraqis have been teaching us how to beat an occupying military. Car bombs? IEDs? Guerrilla warfare? How do you think four hundred-thousand troops would do when set against fifty-million armed, and very pissed off Americans? Want to find out? Oh, and those foreign troops? Forget it; if we won't take shit from our own military, you can be damned sure we aren't going to take it from foreigners.
So, there you have it. The decision is yours. Stop trying to foist a Socialist agenda on the American people. Stop curtsying to the moneyed interests. Stop supporting Israel. Trash the North American Union, ID Cards, and RDIF chips. Get rid of the Federal Reserves as John Kennedy tried to do with Executive Order 11110. Disband Homeland Security and FEMA. And uphold the US Constitution as you took an oath to do.
In short, let's be friends.

Silver Lining - The Desperate Fear Mongers
I have been very busy the past month and have not had the time to post an entry in all that time. However in the course of my daily activities I have seen and heard things that make it seem that our media are trying evermore desperately to keep the American people fearful and confused. One real gem is a commercial for the Wine Experience that plays on my local classical music FM station. The spokesman opens with the question, "Does matching food and wine stress you out?" Valium, anyone?
A Newsmax email came in this morning and asked the burning question, "Is Jesus coming back?" I unsubscribed immediately. This is not news but the End Times crap that the lunatic fringe keep alive over the trouble in the Middle East. Nut cases like John Hagee of San Antonio are salivating over the possibility that the United States will go to war with Iran and kick off the Battle of Armageddon. Then Jesus comes back and the Jews convert to Christianity and all the fruitcakes get swirled up into Heaven in the "rapture". This is after Jesus ("Judge not lest ye be judged,") judges all the zombies that are supposed to rise from their graves. Somebody's been watching too many horror movies. But that is all part of the dumbing down of America, a campaign that has been going on for fifty years, ever since the book "Why Johnnie Can't Read" was published. Today Johnnie still can't read and his kids and grand kids are like wise intellectually challenged, but they don't have to worry because Johnnie and his equally clueless colleagues hold high positions in politics, science, and religion. No Johnnie and the kids don't worry because they think Jesus is coming back. As a measure of how bad it's become, there is a product on the market that helps people improve their brain function.
A radio commercial touting this "amazing breakthrough" claims to get your old gray matter humming along like a ten-speed blender. "You can read ten books in the time it takes most people to read one."
Why would I want to do that? I enjoy a well written book and take the time to enjoy reading. I don't think I would enjoy a Beethoven symphony played ten times faster, but speed is the thing these days. Like the commercial (forgot what it was for) which reminded people that after work "you have to pick up the kids, start dinner, run errands, and have little time to yourself." Things get especially hectic around the "holidays" when the whole population is envisioned as running around like chickens with their heads cut off; shopping, planning family get togethers, having the folks in from out of town, and adjusting to peoples' busy schedules.
People are cast as starving rats in a maze with a heavy scent of cheese in the air. It's the way the Real World wants us to be; scattered, off balance, with minds so clouded that one becomes easily confused when presented any concept more involved than coming in out of the rain.
Want to be happy? Then don't find time for yourself - MAKE time for yourself. Want to improve your brain function? Try thinking! Otherwise you can continue allowing others to do your thinking for you and sit quietly by waiting for Jesus to come back. It's only been two-thousand years.
