LAW OF LOVE VS. LOVE OF LAW

By David A. McElroy

The global conflict we find invading our own hearts and minds can be reduced to this ancient struggle: The law of love versus the love of law. The first defines an attitude of respect volunteered by caring individuals. The latter term embraces corporate processes imposing fear of the state demanding respect. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes declared, “This is a court of law, not a court of justice.“ What is the role of law?

“The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state,” declared that old senator of the Roman Empire, Tacitus. The underlying foundation of American jurisprudence is Roman Law, filtered down through the Holy Roman Empire via the “crowned heads of Europe” and the British Accredited Registry licensing attorneys to practice law. Many members of Congress are lawyers, and legislating law is their constitutional role. They will never even question when “enough is enough” in the proliferation of laws. An empire always seeks more jurisdiction, more profits. Aristocrat Winston Churchill noted that “If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy respect for the law.”

Some say the legal principles of western jurisprudence are rooted in the basic laws God handed Moses so long ago, The Ten Commandments. These precepts are engraved quite prominently in the U.S. Supreme Court, which has fallen far from them. Recall Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore being unjustly sacked for righteously upholding them a few years ago, despite God being honored in his state‘s constitution.

The “Rule of Law” implies principles that are consistent, transparent, and equally applied to logically structure an honest justice system governing a society. We suffer an obvious plutocracy now, a lawless state where the arbitrary rule of men reigns. True principles of justice are ignored, even mocked. Look at the fraudulent mortgage foreclosure procedures and federal seizure of businesses, no-bid multi-billion dollar contracts and bail-outs, the shady accounting, congressmen not even reading the bills they vote on, Supreme Court justices stating they will consider foreign laws in court rulings, Barack Obama’s outright refusal to uphold his duty under the Constitution, or prove himself eligible for the Office of the President. Our Bill of Rights has become alienable. We are now under total surveillance. We suffer rampant corruption in an openly fascist dictatorship of deceit, a nation ruled by corporatists. Bankrupting oppressive regulations and taxation is killing us, as rationed “Obamacare” will. Our industries are destroyed, our people unemployed. The list goes on and on and on… yet many fools still think they are free and protected by law.

Thomas Jefferson stated “Laws are rules, made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for,” he said, “in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure.” The law has become “silly putty” at the pleasure of elitists citing the “General Welfare Clause” or the “Commerce Clause”, etc. Legalese is intended to deceive the common man summoned before the bench.

Jefferson also noted “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” Do you feel your rights are respected or violated?

The contest is whether Law is made for Man, or Man for Law, the State made for Man or Man made for the State. Will we be free people enjoying God-given rights as independent individuals in a government representing us by our consent, or merely wards of the state to be socially engineered en masse according to rules dictated by oligarchs via armies of corporate lobbyists? Are we to exist as citizens at liberty, or subjects of rulers? Will governments be operated by public servants or money masters? Are the nations properly comprised of human beings, or corporate entities? Will we have consistent Rule of Law or arbitrary Rule of Men? By what principles does human society progress in civilization?

It is a battle for minds, bodies, and souls. One side holds Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the Law of the Jungle, “survival of the fittest”, a Marxist materialistic quest for power over others joined by fascists, progressives, communitarians, corporatists, all socialists revering empirical sciences. My side heralds Jesus Christ, the great champion of liberty who truly embodied God’s Word. He summarized the basis of law for a lawyer by saying “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” See Matthew 22:35-40. He also stated “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” in John 8:32. A battle rages between Good and Evil. Sophisticated barbarians practicing slavery and bloodshed use temptation, deceit, and violence, warring against us believing they must“ do unto others before they do unto them, as he who dies with the most toys wins.” We prefer to practice peace and share love in a more spiritual worldview seeking a respectful, wholesome, joy among brothers and sisters transcending the material with an uplifting faith in our Creator. Death is but a door to eternal life.

Do we understand the difference between being civilized or barbarian? The difference is brotherly love, not clever schemes nor sophistication. Respect is integral with love, we all need it in some measure. The huge problem among us all, regardless of an ethnic culture, creed, or form of governance, is some people insist they must prevail over others with an arrogant air of superiority, and harness others in labor for monolithic dreams of grandeur. These are elitists, driven to satisfy insatiable egos. They habitually put others down and squash their dreams, robbing them of not only dignity, opportunity and wealth, but health and happiness, even life and liberty. They are simply incapable of love, being narcissistic psychopaths. These sociopaths are shielded by corporate facades to escape liability while they wield power and nurse their egos on public teats, making us bleed. Our fatal crisis is rooted in the evil “JUST US” system of deceitful legislation. Holding power by means fair or foul is often heralded as “a grasp for responsibility”. But it is all too often an elitist “responsibility for a grasp” trumpeted as public service for “your own good“. Freedom is not legislated. We will never obtain truth, justice, or liberty within Lucifer‘s system!

Prospects for selfishly obtaining evermore profits, perks, respect and status at large, more surveillance and data, more power and privilege to wield against us, only lures hordes of the worst personalities into the ranks of government. We must address this to formulate a just and secure basis from which to establish a state of freedom, rather than a state that is free and people are not. The flawed US Constitution had embodied some good biblical principles. But it obviously has failed to restrain government or maintain liberty for the people. Why? President John Adams does note “Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” America is no longer a moral people and government disrespects religion.

We have been sold “a bill of goods”, starting with naïve children being taught the virtues of the Division of Labor in public classrooms where the Holy Bible, prayer, and God are prohibited by law. Division of Labor conceals the division of people, severs dignity from those not afforded “superior” status, enslaves them in service to Mammon. The “public fool system” gave no warning of the extent that using the “coin of the realm”, or signing up for Social Security to join the work force, holds us liable to “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s…” as Christ said. The corporate empire deems itself as the “supreme being”, demanding we even give the state that which is due God. Proud corporatists, materialists all, reject any authority beyond their own, denying God exists. Did school kids hear even a suggestion of alternatives to the banking system of usury and taxation? Did the assuring Civics classes tell any truth of how American representative government really operates? Were the empowering principles of liberty ever taught?

We have been misled, deceived, about American history and the principles of liberty our patriot ancestors fought courageously to establish as our American Heritage. It is gone, squandered in confusion fomented by corporatists wielding carrots and sticks, fear and temptations. America was built upon principles of the Holy Bible, despite legal protests by the American Civil Liberties Union claiming a separation of church and state in law. The ACLU, founded by Marxists, deceitfully cites Jefferson in their war against God.

Would a Founding Father and president insisting upon a strict “separation of church and state” open the US Capitol and other federal buildings to host weekly church services? Jefferson did just that, and his diary noted his attending church services held in the US Treasury building. Pastor Roger Anghis wrote of this in part 7 of The Importance of History, at NewsWithViews.com. “A false history has been put in place,” Anghis said. The letter the ACLU cites is not completely revealed by them. “Our Founders saw it as it was meant by Jefferson’s statement in his response to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1801, and that was a total separation of any government control over religion. These two ideas are diametrically opposed to each other. The separation that Jefferson spoke of was an institutional separation, not an influential separation.” He says “U.S. Congressional Records (6/7 to 9/25 1789) clearly show the intent of the First Amendment. The federal government was not to allow a single denomination running the nation,” as European nations had permitted ecclesiastic authorities to rule them.

I also add that critics often claim Jefferson was a Deist who did not believe in a God who intervened in the affairs of men, or a redeeming messiah, Christ. It is true he practiced in some severe textual criticisms of scriptures. But he feared God’s retribution to the evils of this world, and referred to Christ as “Lord” frequently in signing letters.

The Bible cites boundaries between ecclesiastic and civil authorities. Anghis notes King Uzziah being struck instantly with leprosy in punishment for disobedience in usurping a priestly role in God’s Temple, as recorded in II Chronicles 26:16-21. When asked if paying tribute to Caesar was lawful, and shown a coin bearing Caesar’s image, Christ declared “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesars, and unto God the things which be God’s.” See Luke 20:22-25. Perhaps we should not use the coin of the realm, and not render tribute to the empire. Whose image do you worship? Perhaps that of Benjamin Franklin in your wallet?

The love of law exerted to coerce obedience to a multitude of rules was the realm of the Pharisees. In Revelation 2:9 Jesus said they were of “the synagogue of Satan.” Ancient scribes were what we would call the professionals, men of letters. Christ warned “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; which devour widow’s houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.” See Luke 20:46-47. Scribes used the rule of men to obscure the rule of law nature’s God had spelled out in stone. They burdened people for their own selfish profits, and privileges, seeking power. They held themselves to be superior, the “unwashed masses” as inferior people to be fleeced. Jesus blasted their “Laying aside the commandments of God,” in Mark 7:8, saying “ye hold the traditions of men,” speaking of the rabbinical Talmud. It rules us “goy” to be mere “cattle” intended to serve Jews. Where is the love?

Does pride go before a fall? America has fallen to scribes’ love of law. We must get beyond the letter of the law and recall that the spirit of the law is righteous judgment conducive to wholesome loving life. It is rooted in God’s Holy Spirit, the Spirit of ‘76. Do you choose to abide with the power of love… or the force of law in “legal” processes?

“It is the law of love that rules mankind,“ noted Mohandas Gandhi. “Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.” Gandhi stated “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrests for its’ breach is more so.” The US courts incarcerate more people than any other nation, deny natural law and Nature’s God. Our American Heritage, our liberty principles for a just governance, are documented in The Declaration of Independence penned by Jefferson, not THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, long suspended since 1933. FDR imposed Admiralty Law that year with the War Powers Act portfolio, deeming the public to be enemies of the state by law in the Trading With The Enemy Act. Where is the love?

Do I call for a Theocracy in America? NO! But our American Heritage of biblical Christian doctrines for truth, justice, and liberty for all made America great and strong.

“A Christian nation is not demanded in scripture,“ asserts James P. Harvey in part one of his eloquent Masters of Surreptitious Guile published in anationbeguiled.com. Christ is offering us salvation by faith, professed free of coercion. Harvey declares “No person should fear being forced into becoming a Christian, but to be ruled by an anti-Christian government is sure to follow in the foot-steps of all governments that have surreptitiously metamorphosed into an oligarchy.” He says “An atheist can live and prosper among us without being oppressed as long as he does not demand his philosophy be accepted by everyone or by law, and it is not the object of the new framers to demand allegiance to Christianity,” in speaking of forming a new state, “as that is clearly not the objective of scripture.” Yet such “Diversity must conform to certain standards or chaos will rule.” He notes “The astute Christian understands that diverse doctrine will only be tolerated as long as it is not forced on us, and therein lays the reason that our present Constitution is anti-Christian.”

This is why John Adams had said the original Constitution “was made for a moral and religious people,” as Christ’s tenets define a true libertarian, prohibiting fraud or force as “…faith worketh by love,” per Galatians 5:6 of the Holy Bible. America was known as a Christian nation by virtue of cultural influence, not by force of law imposed. Biblical principles were incorporated, but without citing chapter and verse in the US Constitution or statutes. As Samuel Adams remarked of the spirit, “…if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves.” Where is the love?

The Spirit of ’76 emanated from colonial churches where bold pastors laid God’s Word against the issues of the day, applying biblical principles to their world. They led patriots to cry “No king but Jesus!” in battling the British forces, insisting they live free or die! They knew Christ was the true liberator of the oppressed. Evil has engaged us by stealth, taken slaves, and “the wages of sin is death“! The battle is joined! Will you claim victory in Jesus? Where do you stand? Who do you serve? Live free or die!

Misinformation from the FED!

Make this available to every schoolteacher!

Teacher’s instructions: When reading each individual comic first read the critique so that you will have a realistic understanding of the topic.

Dr. A. H. Krieg CMFGE
Former 15 year DEC* member

Facts seem by the FED completely ignored. These comics are produced propaganda to influence those uneducated.

“The Federal Reserve Systems has issued a series of comic books on various separate issues, which cannot even be considered acceptable propaganda, because the manner in which the issues covered in these publications are economically, monetarily and historically incorrectly portrayed. We are sorry to subject you to slog through this, but it is important for you to be aware of the truth!”

A.H.K.

*District Export Council: advisors to USDC on issues of trade

#1) The Story of Foreign Trade and Exchange (issued FRS NYC 2008(1))

Foreign trade is addressed in a simplistic manner that has virtually no relationship with reality. Adam Smith is introduced in a manner of supporting the pushed theory of “Free Trade”. The fact that all trade since the second half of the 20th century is totally government controlled through a series of international treaties completely supported by the FED is omitted from the comic, as is the reality that Adam Smith thought free trade, not government or UN, controlled trade. Obviously if government or the international multinational cartels control trade it could hardly be considerd free trade! The fact that inequality of labor costs and benefits mandated by government adversely effect trade, are also omitted. Detail fact that all of these agreements were drawn up by multinational NGO’s is also omitted, as is the list of the treaties imposed, NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, GATT that control international trade. The theory put forth that some nations are better at producing some items and should concentrate their efforts on, while importing items that they are not so capable of producing, is the prime theory of the comic. It is wrong. International trade, that is trade between two different nations is regulated through the “free market” i.e. by the economic, political and social existing situation in the two trading partners. This issue is not even brought up in the comic. For example, in 2008 the average cost of blue-collar labor in America is $24.64 per hour (2), which consists of $ 19.55 labor and $9.11 benefits. Mexican labor costs for 2009 timeframe are $2.57.8 (3) while American minimum wage is $7.25. (2) Additionally Mexican workers do not have, workman’s compensation, mostly not unionized, no Social Security, no healthcare benefits, no insurance of any sort. So the basic Mexican labor cost in manufacturing is $ 2.58. That however is a small portion of the costs born by American manufacturing. OSHA, costs American manufacturing billions of dollars per year and has been shown to result in a 0.4% variance in industrial accidents, being total ineffective. Environmental regulations are in some cases so sever and so badly administered that they have caused scores of industries (foundries per example) to simply close up and move to the third world. The Americans with Disabilities Act causes ridiculous cost for industry that cannot be offset when compared to a foreign competitor, and are also totally ineffectual. What we are explaining here is that this is not a level playing field. If you as a manufacturer using the identical machinery were able to produce your widget in Mexico at total labor cost of $2.58 per hour while it costs you at least $34.50 per hour in America, where would you produce your widget? The end result is that prior to NAFTA America had a $ 5.7 billion annual trade surplus with Mexico and today we have a $ 67 billion trade deficit per annum. The productivity of labor is another bogus example provided in the comic. In factual terms an American plant would have to be fourteen times as productive to attain parity with a Mexican plant producing the same or similar items, something that is impossible.

Next is introduced the scenario of “comparative advantage,” explaining that if you placed your savings in a bank at 5% interest (good luck on that one) rather than another bank at 8%interest that you would be losing 3% per year which when compounded over 12 months with a $ 1,000.00 investment would earn you an additional $ 30.00 interest. If anyone knows of a bank offering 8% interest please let me know right away! The entire trade related comic is so fraught with mistakes, misinformation and false assumptions that a complete repudiation would take many more pages than you would care to read.

The, what I would call “Kicker”, is then introduced “ if all nations exploit their comparative advantage, all will be better off and the standard of living of each nation will rise”. OK, please provide just one example! Since the introduction of these fallacious theories the standard of living in terms of fixed 1950 dollars for American workers has fallen every single year since 1950. The dollar has fallen in value in the same timeframe by 97%. Free trade as construed at this time is not an economic advantage to anyone except international bankers, and multinational corporations, small and family business suffers under these policies, as do working people. On the employment side of the issue, America through these FRS pushed policies has lost 42,400 manufacturing plants and over ten million blue-collar jobs. With NAFTA and CAFTA alone we lost over 4,400 manufacturing plants to Mexico. (4). Unemployment contrary to the comics information has risen for five years and is today at over 18% (5) nationally

Government regulation in America is rampantly out of control and is a major factor in American competitiveness. In the last 19 months the progressives have been on a regulatory rampage, and with every new mandate, American industry becomes less competitive. The false notion that American exporters want to be paid in dollars, which in international trade is not even an issue is then trotted out. No manufacturer in the export and import business cares one iota what currency he is paid in so long as it is a convertible currency which is the case with the majority of our trade partners. Aside from that, the dollar is still the world reserve trade currency, so this is not even an issue. No international trader to my knowledge uses the FORX; most international trade is consummated in LC’s (6) that spell out exactly the terms of the contract and currencies used in the exchange. The loss of, or more exactly deficit in trade brought on by the enactment of these policies starting in 1995 has averaged over $40 billion per month, a stalwart result for these policies.

Then we learn about the great benefit of the large traders like Wal-Mart, K-mart and others which by their internally controlled trading eliminates exporters, importers, freight forwarders, shipping and even insurance carriers. That in the process they destroyed hundreds of thousands of family businesses turning former retailers into Wal-Mart clerks at one-fourth the pay is omitted. The FRS Story of Foreign Trade and Exchange may be one of the great fairy-tales of the 21st century.

#2 The Story of the Federal Reserve System (See #1 section 1)

The second cartoon of this comic states “I would like to deposit this in my savings account” Do you know anyone foolish enough to hold a savings account in a local bank in this century? You can make a better deal buying old cars! But let me start at the beginning, something that is totally omitted from this publication.

The Federal Reserve System, is not federal, because it is a private corporation (1) is not a reserve because it has no reserves, the only actual reserves of hard asset are at Fort Knox (2) and the FRS banks in NYC who have never since their founding been audited by anyone, and the FED is not a system because it is an incorporated corporation under the laws of NY state. The FRS was created by a group of bankers who met on Jekyll island Georgia in 1910 and had the FRS established by the 16th amendment to the Constituion on February 3 1913, during the Wilson administration. President Wilson’s closest confidant was Colonel House who was a Rothschild agent. The author of the Federal Reserve Act was Paul Wartburg also an agent of the Rothschild banking group in Europe. To simply omit these facts is unconscionable. We are then informed that the FED is “best known for its handling of monitory policy” the fact that the 16th amendment to the constitution usurped the power of Congress and the U.S. Constitution in transferring that power from congress to a private corporation is also not mentioned. The official lie from 1910 to 1913 was that the establishments of a private banking monopoly would stabilize markets and end the cycle of depressions and market swings that have always been part of free enterprise. The lie was exposed just seven year later with the depression of 1920, then with the Great Depression of 1929 to 1945. The FED’s purpose is the consolidation of banking under control of three or four multinational banks.

The FED through policies enacted by them cause market fluctuations and their incessant offer to loan congress money cause’s inflation through which bankers reap enormous profits. About one-third of our national collected taxes go toward interest to bankers. The fact of the matter is that contrary to what this comic claims, bankers do not walk a tightrope to balance money and credit, and they manipulate money credit and inflation to their advantage and their profit. The then introduced bogus claim that banks do not have money to lend has been popularized by the Obama administration and is nothing but a ruse. Banks in 2010 have more money available for loans than in any years of the pervious decade. The simplistic terms in which monitory policy is expanded upon in this comic is pitiful. The fact that inflation is caused by FED policy is ignored, while the issue that the viability of cash through bank loans is the cause of inflation and deflation is wrong. The issue of pay is correct in that inflation causes the consumers earnings to fall while his wages in most cases do not keep up with the rise in prices. The continuing scenario as presented is that the FED has only three options to control inflation, “Open Market Operations. Reserve Requirements, and Discount Rates”.

Open Market means the money supply. In this instance the FED has, beginning in March 2008 stopped reporting the M-3 money supply. This is the money issued by the FED to replace worn bills that are destroyed and the issuance of new bills. M-3 reported on the variance [increase of new fiat money] thus it was possible to gauge the value of existing money in circulation, something that is now impossible. We in fact have absolutely no idea how much paper the FED has issued since March 2008 and thus we do not know the value of existing money in circulation. None of this is mentioned in the comic.

Reserve Requirement relates to the amount of funds that banks must hold on deposited funds. This percentage has been gradually decreased for decades. It began with about 14% and has gradually through the years been decreased to about 10% (1992) and now 6%. This means that a bank may now loan out $94 on every $ 100. deposit, and when the $94 is repaid they will loan out another $ 88 and so forth. This is why so many banks are failing they have no cash reserve. The original $100 deposit is in normal banking operations expanded into loans exceeding $ 1,000.00. We are then instilled with the lie that the held funds of 6% represent a loss to the bank, which is another lie. The bank can simply purchase FED issued instruments at 3 to 4%, which are considered the same as cash by auditors.

Discount rates are the rate of interest that the central bank, i.e. the FED charges branch banks. This has gradually been decreased and now stands at the lowest rate ever charged, close to 0%.

Monitorysation is not covered at all because it is the most destructive practice of the FED. Every Friday the FED offers for sale T-bills and T-notes and other instruments. These instruments carry interest in some cases a guarantee to offset inflation. The present rate of interst hovers around 3.7%. These implements are offered on Friday after the capital markets have closed so that reporting on them will be minimal. Lately they have only been able to sell a smaller portion of these issued bills (3) and then over the weekend print sufficient fiat paper bills to purchase the remaining outstanding issued T-bills and T-notes etc. Every time this is done, the value of the dollar falls, the value of your savings fall and you are worse off. Oh, and just by the way, all these transactions are carried out with the major banking operations, you know, the ones we bailed out with our taxes in the last three years.

The comic then informs, “People get extra cash that they withdraw from their banks. The banks in turn, get it from the FED” This is not the case at all. Banks have their own funds that they operated their daily business with. Banks do not borrow funds from the FED when you withdraw a couple of thousand dollars. In the case of larger amounts say a mortgage, banks will sell them to bundlers that pay the banks cash for them and the FED is not involved at that level.

One really telling issue in this comic is the omission of any information regarding how money is backed, and what it is backed by. Obviously after the FDR administration and then Nixon the dollar [money] ceased to be supported by any hard asset [gold or silver] and was backed by debt after Nixon. What that means is that new dollars were issued based on the sale with interest of federally issued loan documents called T-bills and T-notes that are in fact issued debt. After March 2008 when the fed began the slippery slide to oblivion much of the issued money was backed by nothing and since the third month of the Obama administration, debt has ben monitorized and thus fiat dollars are produced out of thin air, being backed by absolutely nothing. Thus the public bases the actual value of our issued money solely on its acceptance by them.

We then are treated to trade and FOREX issues that was covered before except here we are told the FED actions relating to money is the cause of value changes in the dollar. This is rather simplistic and not at all accurate. The value of the dollar is part perception, part money supply, and part foreign trade. The perception is what people or governments will accept as the value of a currency, the money supply is how much more money is being issued by the FED above what was previously in circulation, (4) and Trade is the issue of, in our case the size of the monthly deficit, now running at about $ 40 to 50 billion per month. The FORX [Foreign Exchange Markets] have nothing to do with the actual valuation as the comic tries to indicate. The FOREX is simply an international marketplace for currency and is self-valuating of all traded currencies. In other words the value of the dollar on the FOREX market is simply a matter of what banks or people will bid for the dollar in terms of their own currencies. The comic correctly explains that as we purchses more foreign goods “than we export” [left out] that the dollar value falls making imports more expensive. {Also left out} reducing the value of the dollar.

The fact that the total trade imbalance, i.e. our trade deficit is the end result of government policies and the “Free Trade” incentive is also missing from the comic. It should also be pointed out that the S&P 500 stock index is totally bogus. If we convert the stock market index into gold instead of dollar valuation then from May 94 to September 2010 the value of stocks fell by 84%. Now you can appreciate why the market keeps rising in a faltering economy.

The general issue trying to be imposed by this comic is that the FED is working hard to “foster a healthy economic climate” Nothing could possibly be further from the truth. The policies of the FED in conjunction with the political directions fostered by these various government agencies are the producers of our continuous cycle of bust and growth, which allows the banksters and multinationals to optimize their profit margins.

The explanation of transfer payements between the FED and its member banks is also sadly wanting. The fact that in the case of all the bailouts no money was ever printed or transferred between any banking institutions is not mentioned, being in fact distorted to make you believe that actual printed species was transferred. All the FED did when they bailed out, per example, Citybank was to tell them that they could fudge their books and add a bunch of zeros at the credit side of their balance sheets. That’s may be called monitorizing on steroids.

The then provided fiction is that the FED issues Social Security payments and caries out the electronic transfer of SS payments to individual citizens. In fact the FED does not do any transactions with individuals and only deals with banks. The Social Security Administration issues Social Security checks or payments out of their fictional “Lock Box” account, which only contains IOU’s from the FED. The entire process relating to money the FED, SS and all such issue should be called the Disney World on the Potomac Smoke and Mirrors operation.

The last item we will cover is the absurdity that the FED audits its member banks. This is patently false because an agency that has never been audited, has no assets, is a private corporation, and refuses to answer questions even from congressional banking committees, and is not held in contempt for doing so cannot possible audit anyone else.

Appointees to the board of governors that manage the FRS are appointed by the president for 14-year terms. Unfortunately the comic does not inform that the president is given a short list of three names and that he must choose one of those to be appointed.

(1) See NY Times September 23, 1914
(2) Has not been audited since 1956
(3) Usually about $ 50 billion every Friday
(4) M-3 money supply

#3) The Story of Inflation (see # 1 Section 1)

This comic is the greatest lie of the so far covered publications. The attempt is made in the first two pages to induce the reader to believe that inflation is caused by rising prices. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prices rise because the value of the currency used to purchase items has fallen; any proposed views that evil producers are responsible for price increases are lies. This is simple to prove. In 1910 it was possible to purchses a suite of clothing, shoes, socks, a pocket watch, in other words an entire outfit for one ounce of gold that had a value of $ 32.00 in 1910. Today you can purchase all the exact same items for one ounce of gold or about $ 1.300.00. In 1958 I went to college, I had saved up $3,000 and asked my father for a loan of $ 400 in order to allow me to purchase a Chevrolet Corvette. Which cost $ 3,400. I already had a job to support myself and pay tuition. My father loaned me the money and I bought the corvette. Today gold is at $1,300. so the corvette costs about three ounces of gold which in 1958 was valued at $35.10 so in real terms a Corvette that today cost about $44,000 in fact costs based on today’s gold price but valued in 1959 valuation today’s price should be 111 x or $144,300. the real price of the car fell. Further falseness is then produced in the misconception that demand or the lack of it affects the cost of goods. Lets get this right first time. The cost of goods, and by that we mean all goods, is determined in a modern economy of the value of the means of exchange, i.e. the fiat species we use as money. Under the auspices of the FED the value of the dollar has fallen by 97% since 1913 when the FED came into being. This is called inflation and that particular fact seems to be missing in the FED’s story about inflation.

We are then instructed the banksters who loan out money are the greatest losers due to inflation. It just simply makes me feel sorry for these poor Ponzigonifs. Let’s look at this factually. The average bank mortgage is for 30 years. Statistically bankers know that most i.e. over 70% of all mortgages are turned over every 15 years. This is why they front end load all mortgages, whereby for the first half of the mortgage, the variance between interest and principal vary for the first 15 years, almost all of the interest is paid and in the second 15 years the principal is paid. So if you have a 30 year mortgage at 5% you will pay off most of the loan in the first 15 years and if you then decide to sell still own the bank most of the principal, this in turn costs you an accelerated interest of almost 18% not 5%.

Next we are informed that people don’t save in inflation-ravaged economies because they think that purchasing today will be cheaper than tomorrow. The reason people don’t save in our economy is because banks offer interest rates that are lower than the rate of inflation and the government then compounds this by taxing the meager 3% interest earned with capital gains taxes. (1) People are not stupid, as the FED seems to think. If the real inflation rate as of September 2010 is 10%, which it is, and bank savings accounts offer a 3% interest for a total 7% annual loss it is far smarter to purchses something you need that will cost double six months later, like antique cars.

The very next lie is that in order to protect you the government FRS began in 1997 selling inflation indexed bonds to protect your investment. There is one huge problem with this. The government determines what the rate of inflation is and they have consistently lied about that every quarter since 2002. Just this week they said there would be on SS COLA increase because there is no inflation. Every report on inflation omits all the commodities that demonstrate the highest rate of price increase. So, from 2003 to 2009 the cost of fuel, housing, and scores of other items were removed from the index. There are several reasons why government does this, 1) so that they don’t have to pay the indexed inflation penalties of the bonds they sell, 2) so they don’t have to pay federal employees the inflation indexed amount of their employment contracts, 3) so that they can withhold COLA indexed pay of Social Security, 4) because most private union contracts contain an inflation indexed automatic pay rise which they will then not see paid, thus reducing the inflationary pressure.

In simple terms this comic tries very hard to place the blame for inflation with everyone, anyone or anything not connected to banking or the FED, which is the real cause of inflation.

This entire comic is a disgrace no place in it does the FED accept responsibility for its actions and on every page another attempt to blame anything or anyone else but the FED for inflation. Inflation is caused by monitory policy, which was granted the FED by Congress in 1913 when they gave up the power to control coinage and currency as well as interest rates and turned it all over to the FED, which has used the process to enrich themselves at the expense of the American population. The reliance on government statistics like the CPI, etc. that is often used in the comic is all bogus. If the CPI were in fact reported by a private non-governmental body this might be workable, however all government statistic as have been published since the beginning of the Clinton administration are false and do not represent reality of the issues.

(1) Obama now wants to increase capital gains taxes from 15% to 20% to punish the rich!

#4 The Story of Monetary Policy (see # 1 first item)

We have sent the book “Money a primer” and “July 4th 2016 the Last Independence Day” to the NY FRS in hopes that they will at least gain a modicum of understanding on the issue.

The comic begins its story on page one with the 1979 farm protests in Disney World on the Potomac. Actually, money (coinage) begins in what are now Turkey and the Lydian city-state just a few thousand years before 1979. The introduced fallacy that government i.e. the FED can influence and control markets has been touted by the FED since before the FED’s establishment, in fact it was the prime argument used for the organization of the FED. Time and history has demonstrated that central banks are incapable of controlling the markets both capital as well as commercial. Every single attempt and there have been hundreds to do so by central banks, has failed miserably. The manipulations of credit, prices, interest rates, and since the beginning of the Clinton administration interference with the stock markets (1) have produced nothing but failure.

The perpetual growth scenario played in the comic is laughable, nothing goes perpetually up, these people should consider gravity and the laws of physics. For example the price of gold is going up now, the stock market in actual gold value is going down now, unemployment is rising, inflation is rising, prices are going up, in fact all economic issues are continuously in a state of motion that is not unidirectional. Again we see the blame for inflation placed on industry. Then we see the attempt by the FED to induce us to believe that they are the rider on the white horse, here to save every one of us.

The introduction of the myth that banks are not loaning money to industry because they don’t have it is ridiculous. Banks presently are able to borrow at prime rate 3.25 and better. The reason that they are restricting loans is because they have no idea where this goofy administration will go next and if their potential clients will still be able to be in business next year. This is the identical reason why small business is static. If you don’t know what your tax rate, income, raw material costs, and labor costs are going to be in two months you have only one option sit on your hands and wait.

The next issue is the presentation of the theory that it is the FED’s responsibility to see to “the growth of the money supply”. The money supply in realistic terms can only be expanded if the underlying support for it in either loan instruments or hard assets (2) is increased. Any increase in the money supply without backing results in inflation and is the only cause of inflation. The truth is then hidden because we are informed in the comic that the prime income of the FED is the interest payments it receives from the treasury for money congress borrowed. Now we are getting to the core of the problem. The fact is that congress spends money that it has not collected and has no prospect of collecting from taxes. This is called the deficit. There are two deficit and both are the cause of congressional action. The “Trade Deficit”, and the “Spend Deficit”. Congress which has instituted policies that caused this with the loud applause of the FED, which as you will recall, makes their money out of the interest of loans to the government, is the prime culprit but not without the able help of the FED. The FED’s income is totally 30% based on interest of money it loaned to the government.

So, we learn that seven members of the FRS board of Governors and the presidents of five of the FRS are the voting members of the FOMC. (3). In actual fact the president is always head of the FRS bank of NY and NY Banksters always control the committee.

The comic goes on and on, but nowhere dose it explain the process of monetization, which has become the primary issue in the last five years. The fact that the NY branch of the FRS issues instructions to the treasury that in turn instructs the mint to print more money that is backed by nothing is simply omitted from the text of the comic. The proper title for this comic aught to be the greatest magicians in the world.

Let us also interject that as of September 2010 for this year 341 FRS member banks of the FDIC (4) have failed and another 73 are anticipated to fail by December 2010. Interesting to note is that from 1934 to 1941 during the ‘Great Depression” a total of 370 banks went belly up. Looks like we will have about 414 fail in just one year and the FDIC says that 829are “endangered”. This is far worse than the Great Depression in which over a time span of seven years 44 fewer banks failed.

#5) Too Much Too Little (SE # 1 of # 1) This comic is fiction!

The basic tenant of this comic is that the FED is the agency that will protect you by implementing Keynesian economics (1) that has so ravaged the world’s banking systems. Keynesian economics in simple terms is the replacement of hard assets as backing for fiat currency by debt, or as of March 2008 by nothing. Students then tell their father or friend that they have to write a paper for their economics class (2) on the FRS, dad offers to help. They all travel back in time to 1690 and the barter system. By the way, barter has nothing to do with the establishment of the FRS. The then offered premise that the American colonies used tobacco as a principal agency of barter is also wrong it was buckskins (3) and to a large extent knives, gun powder and flints.

Amazingly they introduce the Bank of the United States that was chartered by congress in 1792. They then try to imply that the bank had problems because of the huge amounts of gold and silver mined. Then came the Second Bank of the United States of 1816 that the comic claims solved all the banking problems in America. Sorry, it was a banker called Biddle who president Andrew Jackson revealed had stolen over 13 million dollars from the bank and enriched himself and many of his friends. Also missing is the fact that Biddle then tried to bribe about half the congress and blackmailed the rest to force Jackson to reissue the charter, which Jackson refused to do. Just a little revisionist history is useful for all. The comic instead informs that the bank was a step in the right direction, that may be a matter of opinion but judging by the record of the FRS it in my opinion was a step in the wrong direction.

If you thought that the previously mentioned comics were bad this one tops them all. We now are instructed that the war of 1812 (4) caused the creation of scores of state banks that haphazardly issued paper currency not properly backed by gold or silver, you know exactly what the FRS is doing now! State banks in fact were the prime competition to a centralized private but federalized banking system as had already been set up in Germany, Holland, Belgium, England, France, Austria and Naples all controlled by the Rothschild banking empire. Rothschild agents Colonel House, president Wilson’s alter ego, and the German banker, whose brother remained in Europe to run their banks Paul Wartburg, also a Rothschild agent, had been dispatched by the Rothschild’s to set up the same sort of centralized banking system in private hands that they already controlled in almost all of Europe. All this history is sadly missing from the comic. The claim made in the comic that the second Bank of the United States failed due to political opposition is hogwash. A crook (5) managed the bank that had stolen millions from the government and taxpayers, (All conveniently missing) as conclusively proven by Andrew Jackson. Just so you know, the banksters attempted to assassinate Jackson with four attempts that were made on his life, something that has been repeated against every president who bucked the banking cartel. They assassinated Lincoln and most probably Kennedy. The reason that Lincoln was assassinated was his issuance of “Greenbacks” by the government without banking involvement and directly redeemable from the treasury. The NY central bankers then struck and got congress to tax state banks (a tax not paid by the central banks) and then revoked their charters and changed all of them into “National Banks” in essence nationalizing them.
There then developed two political factions. The “Greenback party” that were sponsored by and funded by the federal government, and the “Populist party” that demanded the return to the constitutionally mandated coin rather than treasury issued fiat (papaer) money. The Populists won. The totally bogus comic now informs that America was on the silver standard and then because of gold discoveries in America changed to the gold standard. All of the rest of the world where Rothschild operated was on the gold standard and that is why we changed to it. All fiat species remained convertible to coin.

The bankers then organized the 1907 depression whereupon they had their meeting on Jekyll Island GA, in 1910 to establish the FRS through the enactment of the 16th Amendment, and then the 17th amendment in the same year 1913, to insure that states would never again have the power to interfere with the FRS; all of which is missing in the comic. The claim that the enactment of this legislation an amendment to the constitution took partisan politics out of the money, loans, mortgages, and the issuance of loan instruments is untrue. Unless you perhaps think that Fannie May and Freddie Mac are not political animals, or that the government owning AIG, GM, and Chrysler is not political.

The totally bogus introduction in the final pages of this comic stating to the question, “Just what are reserves?” “They are cash in banks vaults and bank required balances at Federal banks” is another lie. As we learned in other comics the maximum required balances held by member banks is 10% of their total asset base, and all the “cash” held in banks is fiat species backed by nothing, while the 10% is also fiat species backed by nothing so there are no reserves. The last statement is not, “By constantly adjusting reserves [remember there are no reserves] the FRS strives to sustain a robust economy with full employment without inflation” Fine, in 2010 our rate of inflation is 10% our unemployment rate is M-3 10.1%, M-6 unemployment is 22.4% and the dollar has seen its value reduced by 97% in less than 100 years. These guys are doing a marvelous job!

#6) A penny Saved ( See 1 of #1)

(Why and how we save, and how saving helps the U. S. Economy)

This infantile comic appears to have been written with six-year-olds in mind. The jest of it is that it is wise to save money for future need. Which is a valid and sensible argument. But that unfortunately is where common sense ends. On page six we learn that placing your savings in a bank savings account is the proper way to save. Lets see, my local bank pays a compounded 3.4% interest on a savings account. Present inflation is at 10% so I lose a total of 6% on any money I place in the bank. If instead I were to purchase some gold coins I would earn about 7% above my original investment for just 2010. Not much different if I bought silver, platinum or palladium. The dollar is sadly due to FED policies falling in value every quarter, so hard asset are the way to go. (Obviously not mentioned in the comic) The statement that banks pay a 5% interest rate is somewhat misleading I think! If you know of one be sure to inform us right away. The fact that the IRS taxes earned interest is taxed is not mentioned and the fact that you can avoid paying capital gains taxes on held hard assets is also omitted. Mathematically if you invest $ 100 for 12 months as 3.4% you will earn a total of $3.40 on which you will pay a 15% and now proposed 20% capital gains tax, or $0.51 of tax reducing your income to $2.98 if you bought gold on Jan 1, 2010 you would have made just over $11. With no tax, and be totally insured against inflation or depreciation of value. (Also missing in the comic)

We are then informed that banks lend out money but that we are assured to get our money when we need it. Tell that to the 740 some banks that went belly up in 2010, (2) whose accounts were then covered by the FDIC (1) an agency that is at the verge of bankruptcy. “Banks don’t lend all the money they receive as deposits”. You bet they don’t” they keep about 10% and loan out 90% to another party. In fact they will loan out over $ 1,000 on a $ 100 deposit by continuously rolling the money over. The result is that if 10% of the depositors in a bank all came on the same day and demanded to get their deposited funds the bank (bank run) would have to close its doors and wait for the fed to print up more funny money for them. Then “the FDIC insures all deposits to $ 100,000,” hmm, we thought that they had upped that to $200,000 well, makes no difference since they also will go belly up shortly. That by the way, does not mean you won’t get your money, no indeed you will get your money, every last penny, the problem is what will it be worth after the next round of hyperinflation. (3)

Now comes the pitch for savings bonds, I have been waiting for with baited breath. This is the most losing proposition ever offered to the public. If a private company sold savings bonds under the identical terms as the FED they would go to jail for fraud. The listed benefit is “that you don’t have to pay taxes on the bond until you cash it in”. OK you buy a bond for $ 100 it’s term is 20 years. The rate of inflation is (we will be generous) 5% you paid $ 50 for the bond. When it comes due under the new Obama capital gains tax you will pay 20% capital gains on $ 50, or $10 reducing your margin to $ 40.00 The dollar has through inflation lost 5 x 20 or a total of 100% of the value of the $ 50 you spent originally which is $ 50. so $ 40 plus $ 10 = $60 you lost your entire original $ 50 investment to inflation and taxation, plus $10 of your assumed non-existent profit. What a wonderful investment! As a rebuttal we are informed that the stock market poses risk, which is not the case with Government Securites, inflation is not considerd a risk by the authors of the comic.

Other considerations all discounted as inferior to government bonds are, art, bonds, municipal bonds, real estate, commercial real estate, that’s why all the billionaires in America are purchasing savings bonds and T-bills, sure they are!

The reported in the comic issue, that “savings are important for the national economy” is well taken. However so long as the IRS taxes savings accounts (4) they actually discourage people from saving money and have been so successful in that endeavourer that we have the national lowest per capita savings in the industrialized world.

The very last item states that people tend not to save because they will get Social Security when they retire and will live on that. Good Luck! The average American SS recippiant gets $1,200 per month; just try living on that for a while.

(1) FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only to $200.000
(2) Almost the same number as went broke between 1934 and 1941
(3) Hyperinflation is inflation on steroids, of over 25%.
(4) We are the only nation in the world that to our knowledge taxes interst on savings.

#7) The Story of Banks. (See 1 of # 1)

The story of banks, you guessed it, begins with three teenagers that have started a pretzel business in SF on the left coast, how PC can you get? We then learn that it is unwise to keep money at home because it could get stolen, and it is unwise to carry it around because you could get robbed. The benefit of banking i.e. checking accounts is then explained as the solution for these problems.

It strikes us as peculiar that there is nothing of the history of banking, nothing of the Knights Templar and their banking system from the 10th to the 13th centuries, or the Jewish takeover of the banking systems of Europe in the 13th century. Well never mind.
A diatribe of several pages then explains the process of checking accounts and how they work, something I was under the impression of every sixth grader knew. Again we are told that the bank does not keep all the money it accepts as deposits but loans out all except the required by the FED “Reserves”. That only 10% of your deposit is held at your bank is never mentioned. And neither is the fact that the “Reserves” myth of the F[R]S is in fact a minuscule portion of the money in circulation, so small in fact as to be insignificant. The lie is then promoted that “the FED was created by congress in 1913 to ensure that there is enough money and credit in the country to provide for Economic Growth.” Economic growth has nothing to do with banking, it being a function of the farming, commercial and manufacturing enterprises of a society.

In truth banksters created the FED: Paul Wartburg, (Agent for Rothschild & partner on Kuhn & Loeb & co. also the author of the Federal Reserve Act) Abraham Piatt Andrew. (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury), Franck Vanderlip, (Pres. Nat. Bank of NY representing William Rockefeller) Henry P. Davidson, (Senior partner of J. P. Morgan & CO) Benjamin Strong, (Head of J. P. Morgan & Bankers Trust of NY) and Nelson Aldrich, son in law of Rockefeller and Senator and associate partner in J. P. Morgan) they created the FED 1910 at Jekyll Island GA that was at that time a private hunting preserve, belonging to Aldrich. They formed the FED because the Rothschild banking empire wanted control of American banking just as they did all over Europe. By 1913 they convinced a dead-beat brainless lame duck congress to pass the 16th amendment the rest is history. All banking in 1900 was already international as it is now. The tentacles of Rothschild control almost all banks in Western Europe and in North and South America. Banking has nothing whatever to do with the FED claimed desire to help their fellow man, no indeed the FED is an instrument of enormous profit for a very small and select group that grow continuously wealthier as the rest of us are deprived of any reasonable means of self preservation and income.

The portion of income of the FRS is debt services to the U.S. Government is nowhere listed in either government sites or by the FRS but certainly exceeds 30% of the total federal budget at $413,954,825,362.17 and this only covers. on line items. for a debt of $ 13 trillion 632 billion and 968 million dollars, which accounts to $ 44,677.00 for every living American. The national debt has grown 19% in the last eight years. Off book debt, the real number is $ 202 trillion. None of this is in the comic. The fact of greatest importance that we as a nation are living far beyond our means is also ignored, as is the fact that America is bankrupt.

Now things get silly. “With a deposit of only $ 5,000 and just three transactions, the banks got $13,550 in new deposits and made $ 12,195 in loans. Lots on money is created…” You bet and its is right out of thin air. If you as a businessman kept books like banks and were audited by the IRS, you’d be in jail. If you as a manufacturer valued you inventory (banks funds) in the same manner. You’d be in jail. If you as a retailer mangled you accounts the way banks do you’d be bankrupt in the first quarter of business establishment. And wouldn’t it be great if a business could be insured against any financial failure by a federal insurance scheme like the FDIC, effectively removing any sort of risk? Then the advice by the banker is that if you have any surplus funds you should open a 5% savings account in the bank. Right, at 3.7% interest with a 20% capital gains tax and a 10% inflation rate, you’d only be loosing about 7% per year. Then, “If we put $5,000 in the bank in a saving account at 5% we will, at compounded interest have $ 6,380”, sorry, no, 3,7% will yield about $ 5,500 less capital gains of 20% of $ 100 produces an income of $ 400 the inflation loss will be 10% of $ 5,000 invested or $ 500 for an end loss of $ 100.00. Great advice! Then we are advised to get a credit card because we could spread the payment of bills over a long time and through this still have cash on hand, OK that’s good advice because you will be paying the bank between 10% and 24% interest on the outstanding balance, well good advice for the bank, not so good for you.

This grossly oversimplified account of banking and the FED would appear to have been written with primary schools in mind, to bend their thinking and idolize bankers for thee swell fellows they are.

Corporatism, Slavery, & Death!

By David A. McElroy
McElchap@hotmail.com
LibertyDefenseLeague.com

In the struggle for a state of freedom, we should remember corporatism is antithetical to our liberties, prosperity, peace, health and happiness. The corporatist is a pathological beast that comes in two collectivist flavors, left and right, theoretically, and is present in virtually every form of government. But in actual practice, all corporatists are fascist.

A man known to make trains run on time, Italian tyrant Mussolini, said “Corporatism is fascism.” Both “right wing” Nazi Hitler and “left wing” Stalin, the Communist, were fascist psychopaths. Where does that leave “middle of the road” types? In a Warsaw ghetto? The elite created left vs right politics (Hegelian dialectic) for power. Don’t be fooled by the two wings of the one big bald raptor!

In the USA, Republicans appeal to small business and middle class voters because they appear to be “conservative”, preserving the national interests and our national identity against globalists (despite Henry Kissinger). But they are national socialists akin to Nazis like Sen. Prescott Bush and his progeny. Democrats offer us “benefits”, and will speedily sell out American interests to the global cabal. Democrats are international socialists, or communists. Both mislead us to believe we live in freedom in a capitalist society, while they tax and spend, regulate and enforce us cradle to grave, demanding ever more. The truth is that those who command the capital rule via corporate empires. They must NOT be allowed to dictate government in a free state. They seek expanding socialist powers to encroach upon our lives, enslave us, profit from life and death! We are human capital!

On the world stage, the puppet show before us has the destructive Marxist terrorists like Lenin, Mao, Che Guevara and Pol Pot, versus the seemingly “beneficent” socialists like Clinton, the Bushes, Merkel, Blair or Sarkozy. NeoCon elements play the aggressor role to destroy targeted peoples, taxing us into bankruptcy to profit from foreign wars, largely depleting our resources. Commies play defense and keep their troops at home, they draw the West into being overextended. Both factions will blend and profit in communitarian reconstruction. Bill Clinton refers to it as the Third Way, using things like WTO, NAFTA and GATT. East and West are now engaged in the New World Order, and both profits and privileges are privatized corporately, losses and liabilities are socialized upon the public. See where we are being driven by the televised political theatre? Forget the concessions stand… get out while you can! It is a slasher flick, and you are the victim!

The hard-core Marxist phase of government is intended by the global elite to destroy freedom and competition, one nation at a time, exterminate opponents, lock down the working classes, and set the stage for “reform”. This is Obamanation. The reform is socialism for the poor, capitalism for the elite. What little is left of the middle class will be the ranking military officers, scientists, engineers, and such. Do you see how Red China and Russia have incorporated limited capitalism, fascist style? How the non-aligned Yugoslavia was balkanized? Socialist government power is legally employed to divide and conquer, establish monopolies for elitists. Hitler and Stalin’s genocides were legal in their regimes, if not moral. Lawyers and liberty are often in opposition.

Do you see these things happening here from sea to shining sea? Do you recognize how they are causing the “Red Menace” to usurp America as a superpower? Why our many industries have vacated our states and our infrastructure is crumbling? Ours is the last major nation to be demolished in the global “urban renewal” plan! We are not seeing real investments or lending in America because we are red-lined for the bulldozer. They have done this many times, perfecting the practice on smaller countries, before they would dare to take on the American public. We are now the last hope for real freedom in the whole world. Many are unaware, many too afraid to face the danger. We must secede to survive!

The differences between classical capitalism, laissez faire competition in a free market, and de facto capitalism, or corporatism aka fascism, practiced by the “Captains of Industry” was highlighted in my last article, “SECEDE FROM CORPORATISM!” What we have been taught in the “public fool system” is “classical capitalism“, by which our human progress is moved by free market competition rewarding the providers of better goods and services, improving society with efficiency and lower costs for higher living standards and higher education in the practice of arts and sciences. Arrogant, obscenely wealthy oligarchs known as “capitalists” regard the competitive efforts in the markets, the arts and sciences, merely to be research and development for their empires. They sit and study the results of our efforts. When the winning product, service, or technique has been determined, the robber barons use it to strengthen their monopolies to extract profit from us. Once they decide upon the most efficient and effective means to their ends, they end the competition. “Competition is a sin,” John D. Rockefeller said.

Socialism seduces us to destroy a nation’s culture and economy, progressively break it down leading to a brutal Marxist conversion to feudalism structured by the “Capitalists“, international socialists, who seek a world with 90% fewer people in a global totalitarian monopoly system. In the age of computers and automation, they don’t need billions of workers and soldiers. We are overhead to be written off in various population reduction schemes, or genocide! National socialists, NeoCons, oppose the international socialists simply because they want a better deal. They too will sell us out, but demand a higher price for their corporates. Billionaires globally are moving in concert to destroy public freedom and middle classes everywhere, to return to a feudal system where the robber barons rule corporate fiefdoms with high-tech tools and all us “little people” yet surviving are kept ignorant as slaves subsisting on meager rations. See North Korea.

“Give me control of a nations’ money and I care not who makes the laws” said that icon of banking, 18th century patriarch Mayer Amschel Rothschild. The “crowned heads of Europe” came to him with hat in hand. James Madison, “Father of the Constitution”, stated that “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its’ issuance.” Lord Acton is famous for noting that “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” He also stated “The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the bankers,” when asked about Rothschild. He died in 1902. One great man of liberty, Lysander Spooner, blasted the bankster. “The Rothschilds, and that class of money-lenders of whom they are representatives and agents - men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest - stand ready at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved.” Rothschild molded the corporatist fascist paradigm, and could shame Attila the Hun or Ghengis Khan as clumsy amateurs. Banksters revere him!

The “Old Money” types, like Rothschilds, Windsors, et al, know how “New Money”, like Bill Gates and Sam Walton, got started in the middle class, and both groups globally are closing ranks to shut down possibilities for any further competition. As a big group, the middle class is competitive with, and challenges, billionaire elitists. Corporatism reigns antithetical to our liberties, prosperity, peace, health and happiness. Huge transnational corporations, ruled by billionaires, Illuminati, and the royal houses, rule the nations of the world. We the people are nothing to them but labor and consumers, management issues, headaches and costly overhead to write off. We are just taxpayers, targets of manipulative propaganda and surveillance needing policed, imprisoned, or reduced to cannon fodder. Terrorism, even nuclear threats, keep the public at bay, distracted and fearful. The elite will use military forces against us in “police actions” and not war against each other. This is the United Nations’ “global peace plan“, our “prison planet”!

The elitists ignore our protests and blogs, a letter to “your” congressman will rate no more than a mark on a tally sheet. As Mark Twain said, “We have the best Congress money can buy.” The oligarchs don’t care how we complain as long as we obey their laws, pay taxes and bills, and keep working to turn the wheels of industry and commerce until we get that pink slip. And yes, the unemployed can get that national healthcare. Hitler offered rather similar “rationed” healthcare, and work camps also. Stalin did also.

US federal government is a corporation by the Act of 1871, noted in my previous article. It altered the title of the Constitution, to make states mere franchises of a forced collective enforced with the 14th Amendment. Those opting to incorporate their activities under law are voluntary collective franchises of government. You are a corporatist, or a wage slave. This is the root of the tyranny feasting on our blood, sweat, and tears, stealing nest eggs.

Corporations are politically superior “citizens”, legally “fictitious persons” afforded most rights afforded humans, but protected as “community” assets. Us human beings suffer an inferior position unless we belong to Lucifer’s corporate club. (Lucifer actually has a chapel in the United Nations building in Manhattan.) This superior status arises because corporations command large facilities, assets, and cash flows while enjoying the rights of citizenship. They own most media. Many are deemed “too big to fail”. Government will gladly sacrifice a few million of us “little people” to bail out their billionaire masters. The corporations can fill a politician’s campaign chest, or the opponent’s. Obama’s campaign received over $1 billion dollars, largely from Wall Street firms like Goldman-Sachs. They have vast intelligence resources, can intimidate or blackmail anyone. They employ para-military security services, Wackenhut or Blackwater. Corporate espionage is common.

Even the states lost their Senate representation with the fraudulent 17th Amendment in 1913, the same year the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank was so slyly chartered. Devvy Kidd has done a lot of excellent research on this, personally visiting government archives to check state ratification documents. See www.devvy.com

Late Christmas Eve, 1913, in nearly empty halls, banksters like J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, Warburg, and Rothschild sold the Federal Reserve Bank to Congress with a long 99 year charter to “stabilize the currency”. The Fed’s largest shareholder is the Bank of England, and foreign banks own most shares. How well has the Fed “stabilized” our currency? At www.BusinessInsider.com ’s Oct. 6, 2010 edition we find that what $20 would purchase in 1913, would cost $440.23 today. What $20 purchased in 1970 now cost $112.36. It also reported that in 2009, 61% of American households lived from payday to payday. Things are worse this year. Us “consumers” are broke and foreclosures are rampant. Did you notice big banks bagged a bazillion dollars in a taxpayer-funded bail-out because of mortgage payments not coming in? They could have saved mortgage holders, taxpayers all, and the money would have still ended up in the banks if Congress had granted people vouchers for mortgage payments. Homeowners are paying twice! We’ve been robbed!

Former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan, said in his 1966 essay entitled Gold And Economic Freedom, “This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirade against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth… one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.” We are now seeing staggering deficit spending by Obama’s regime. Our public debt carried at interest by the Federal Reserve (private with no reserves) is the highest in the history of the world. Estimates of total public debt run as high as $200 TRILLION! Ruinous! The ruin is engineered, not coincidentally cyclical as the banksters and politicos present it.

The Fed creates “money” by simply printing paper bills, debt instruments called Federal Reserve Notes which are actually IOU’s requiring interest. Money in circulation is always less than the notes plus interest, so some people MUST come up short and be bankrupted, because cash in circulation is insufficient. So borrowing ensues, and the debt is locked in a cycle often referred to as a DEATH SPIRAL! The more cash is printed, the higher public debts climbs and the value of the dollar falls. We must pull out of it and reject currency fraud wielded against us, establish independence, in a free state with free markets, peace and prosperity. Corporatism and freedom are antithetical. Stop being wage slaves!

This does not mean a person should not work for wages, but self-employment is better. I do say only living human beings should be deemed citizens, that corporate “fictiticious entities” should never be in our legal system. As in Promethean Capitalism, all of our commercial enterprises would only be owned privately and not corporately. A personal owner is very concerned with pride and personal reputation as well profit and loss, thus often more responsible not only to customers, but the community. Private firms do tend to stay smaller and more accountable to society, more ethical and quality oriented. Soulless amoral corporate conglomerates shield their major stockholders, protecting them from any personal liability. Many privately owned companies, you may recall, were established and operated with great reputations, only to “go public” later and mushroom into a mediocre vendor of lesser goods and services popping up in every community. The fungus of corporatism grows in darkness in rotting manure! Don’t buy it!

Benjamin Franklin, on the $100 bill, said “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.“ Socialism corrupts. Thomas Jefferson said “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” God warned us about usury. America has fallen to usury. Christ said “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s…” So accept nothing from Caesar! John 2:13-16 records the only known act of violence by Jesus Christ, against merchants and “moneychangers” who defiled His Father’s Temple with greed, and theft.

The elitists ignore our pleas and protests. A letter to “your” congress critter will rate only a checkmark. As Mark Twain said, “We have the best Congress money can buy.” The oligarchs only care that we continue to work, obey, and pay - until we get a pink slip. The wheels of industry and commerce must crank cash flowing into their hands. Unemployed workers can get socialist “healthcare”. Hitler offered similar “rationed healthcare”, and those “work camps” as a social remedy. So did Stalin. I don’t want to go there. Do you?

Patriots need to get ahead of the curve established corporately, not let the public enemy set the time and place of beating us down. Masses of people in peaceful protests filling streets, general strikes in critical industries, tax rebellion and debt repudiation, officials confronted face to face, civil disobedience, all have impact. Speak only the words you wish recorded or broadcast in exploiting media. Beware provocateurs initiating violence to invoke riotous storm troopers. Let authority figures shame themselves. Be prepared.

Why do rioters so often loot and destroy neighbors’ property, injure and kill, even burn their own neighborhoods? If we are forced to violent conflicts, we must carry the battle to the enemy’s turf. Our enemies meet in corporate boardrooms, not the local stores. The enemy lives in Manhattan penthouses, big walled estates and gated communities, not your neighborhood! We the people are pitted against banksters controlling a global system of interlocking corporates masking the real bloodsuckers! The District of Criminals exists to serve them, not us! Billionaires send hordes of lobbyists to Congress bearing cash, keys to beachfront villas, jets, and yachts. They only PRETEND to serve us.

Any free state, regardless of form of governance, can not permit corporatism. Corporate citizens do overwhelm and enslave free people. The banksters must not rule. We must not worship the stock exchanges and moneychangers! Stand and repudiate all your fraudulent debts! We must secede to survive! No king but Jesus! Revolt! Live free or die!

Post-industrial America

Dr. A. H. Krieg CMFGE
Past member CT/RI DEC*

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”.
~Sir Winston Churchill

America is rapidly becoming the first post-industrialized nation in world history. Most developed nations go through stages of development; in Americas case we started as a Confederation, moved on to a more federalized Constitutional Republic, and then after Lincoln began our decent into a Democracy and after FDR, into a growing Empire. The real plan of the New World Order for America began with the Wilson administration and has grown exponentially ever since. There have been 19 socialist nations since the 1880’s of these all but one failed. Norway still socialist manages this with an 85% on citizens tax rate. The reality is that Norway has ceased to produce much of anything and survives mainly on its nationalized North Sea oil export income and outrageous taxes.

The first real de-industrialization began with the ultimate “Trojan Horse” as instituted by the progressive wing of the Democrat Party and then vigorously supported by the Republican Party; called “Free Trade”. Free trade is one of those political anachronisms that twist the truth and reality away from fact. Trade in the latter 20th and 21st centuries has been controlled by a series of treaties to which America has been signatory. These are WTO, GATT, NAFTA, and CAFTA; all these international agreements regulate all trade between all nations globally. All of these treatises were written by multinational NGO’s whose sole interests lie in improving their bottom line at the expense of Americans and American labor. The entire purpose of these agreements set into law as treaties is to destroy the prime competitors of multinational corporations, small business and family business, and labor unions, in order to up the profit margins of the multinationals.

The enactment of very high minimal wage laws then served to continually increase unemployment for youth and minorities. As of 2010, 18 to 24 year olds have an unemployment level of almost 50%. Minimum wage for 2009 is $ 7.25 per hour. Factually entry-level jobs in all industries are being eliminated by two factors. Firstly the illegal immigrants that work for cash under the table below minimum wage, and secondly most entry-level jobs can be disposed of through the use of advanced industrial equipment that does the job faster and better. The prospect of a $ 7.25 minimum wage also drives the continuous departure of industries to Mexico and beyond.

The espoused concept of the progressives that their free trade policies are good for American consumers based on the lower cost of goods imported from low labor cost third world nations, is totally bogus. When Americans lose their manufacturing based jobs and are forced to take employment in lower paying service sector positions, they can no longer afford goods and see their standard of living fall continuously. Since 1950 in real dollars of 1950 valuation, American labor has seen its standard of living decline every single year.

The then offered idea by the progressives was that we had surpassed industrial production and manufacturing; which we were informed was the preview of developing economies. America we were told has now moved into the “Information Age” and that we were now a “Service Sector” economy. Such childish invention came to us from the progressives and was joyfully disseminated by the progressive’s partner in crime, the media. Just exactly how you build a house, car, high-rise, or machine tool in such an economy they were reluctant to explain. To put it in Mr. Jefferson’s terms “nations that do not manufacture are the colonies of those that do”

What do those who employ people [The Rich] do when a nation attacks them with socialism? They let their feet do the walking and depart for places more friendly to their wealth, ask any over 50-year old Englishman. When the progressives, i.e. Labor party came to power some fifteen years before Lady Thatcher fixed the socialist catastrophe, England experienced what came to be called the ”Brain Drain”, my wife was a participant. Everyone who had a good education or had money, left, to Australia, New Zeeland, Canada, America, or South Africa. As of summer 1999 there were 298 billionaires in America as of summer 2001 that had declined to 266 a loss of over 200 billion in asset loss due to emigration of the rich. By 2010, 2,800 millionaires are walking out of the country every month due to tax policies, and uncertainty of the future direction of America. There is an old saying “you can rob Peter to pay Paul until Paul is also broke, that is unless he departs for other places before. Two more years of Barack, Harry and Nancy and no one with more than five million will be left and the entire burden of the socialist nightmare will be born by the rapidly disappearing “Middle Class”.

The people behind this effort are the seventy plus members of the progressive movement [Democratic Socialists of America] in congress that surprisingly has only one openly admitted socialist, Bernie Sanders (S, VT) The fact that president Obama while in the Senate was also a member and remains to this day a stalwart socialist, can not be denied. Of the 41 Czars appointed by Obama, all without Senate confirmation, all of them are either socialists or in some case communists or perverts. That people that surround the president are all on the far fridge of the political and social left is a fact not denied by anyone.

Through history great empires have seen their citizens become dependent upon government largess (socialism) creating a lazy indigent and uninformed population. Through the process of federalization of education by the progressives in the 1970’s by Carter (TC member) the population is being ‘Dumbed Down” at an amazing speed of decline. On the economic front our weakening from 2002 to 2010 is absolutely astonishing. Consider that in 1950 America was the largest manufacturing nation of the world, we were number one in Aircraft, Ship building, machine tool manufacture, home construction, skyscrapers, television, radio and automobiles, you name it we were number one, there was not even a close second. In education we were number one in secondary as well as university level. Today we are not even in the top twenty in education and who knows where we are in manufacturing. In 1950 American industry could out produce the entire combined world production annually, today Japan, and China can and do out-produce us. Guess what our largest by volume export is? Waste paper, I well remember when it was machine tools.

In economic terms America is bankrupt. We have a national debt of $ 202 trillion when all the off line and smoke and mirrors crap is scraped together. On the books we have an immediate debt of over $ 14 trillion, but that number is about as realistic as the labor department touted unemployment level of 9.8 percent. As in all government statistics the reality is in what is counted and what is left out or just simply removed. The national debt does not take into account all those IOU’s in the non-existent “Lock Box” of Social Security, the present and future shortfalls in Medicare and Medicaid, all the looted by congress funds from the Highway Trust Fund, Patent Office Fund, and so forth. With unemployment they use M-3 data based on a 3% sampling using only citizens getting cheques when in 1933 they used M-6 data that today results in an unemployment rate of over 18%, and which ShadowStats ® estimates to be 24.7% or 0,3% higher than at the height of the “Great Depression” of 1933.

Should our progressives retain power in 2010 mid term elections, reprieve for America will become impossible. Just think of it, in the week of September 26 Obama borrowed another 41 billion dollars to “increase lending by banks to small business” Not only is our president and his team of economic advisors clueless on matters of business and banking, because non of them have ever been employed in the private sector, but they are and have been instituting policy which is destructive of the private sector especially small business that employs about 70% of American labor. Banks have plenty of money to loan out. They are not loaning money for two distinct reasons. First banks under current FED policy are borrowing money from the FRS at 0% interest. They then purchase T-bills issued by the FED at 3.7% making a profit on a totally insured investment without one iota of risk of 3.7%. Secondly under the political social and business climate created by Obama and his troop of nihilists the uncertainty of future business is so bad that no one in business wants to borrow anything because they have no interest in expansion.

Great nations are great because of what they bring to world markets. When your largest export is last week’s newspapers and the cardboard boxes in which the imports arrive in from China you are in very serious trouble. Sadly, Americans due to a mindless media are not even aware of our situation. Every week we are witness to scores of pundits hyping the great benefits of free trade. The fact that our trade deficit is a stratospheric $42.8 billion just for June 2010 should rattle even the most liberal trade expert. The amount represents the variance between what we exported and what we imported in June. This has been an ongoing process for over ten years. How long could you survive bankruptcy if you spent more than you make every single month?

Since the introduction of NAFTA and the expansion of it, CAFTA America has lost 42,400 factories about three-quarters of which employed over 100 people. We have lost over 4,000 manufacturing plants to just Mexico. We should point out the manufacturing jobs are the highest paying available jobs for blue-collar labor and that we turned a $5.7 billion annual trade surplus into a $54.7 billion deficit with just Mexico in a short ten years. In total number America has due to progressive polices lost over ten million manufacturing and engineering jobs in ten years or about one million jobs per year. The only people happy about this are international bankers, multinational business, and of course government bureaucrats who could not care less.

You must understand that the New World Order is about making everyone equal, it is the socialist way. In order for us to be equal with say India our standard of living must be reduced by at least ten fold. Consider in our own hemisphere Haiti whose average annual income is under $400. less than what most Americans make in a week.

As of 2010 The People’s Communist Republic of China holds just under one trillion dollars of American debt. The Chinese are financing Americas demise. They will overtake us as the world’s largest economy in 2011. They are liquidation this debt by purchasing mineral and mining rights on the African continent, where they are now the single largest economic participants. That they have lost confidence in the dollar is common knowledge.

Cell-phones were an American invention, until 1985 all cell phones were made in America, in 2008 1.2 billion cell phones were sold on world markets not a single one of them was made in America, all the technology and manufacture was exported. Even well known American trade names have their cell-phones produced overseas and privately branded in order to optimize their profit margins. Why do they do this? Because they see the writing on the wall, our government does its very damn best to encourage manufacturing industries to depart our shores. America has lost 32% of its manufacturing base in the last ten years. Manufacturing in America in 2010 is lower than it was in 1975. This is the spiral of de-industrialization that progressives have subjected America to.

Let us provide an enlighten example of such polices. In 1982 Widder Corporation a New England manufacturing company that had been importing saw blades decided to manufacture saw blades in America in their Naugatuck, CT plant. Widder purchased or ordered all the necessary machine tools and then contacted all American steel mills to get quotes for the necessary tool-steel. Not one single American steel producer not Bethlehem, US Steel, not one of them was interested in our business. Mind you we were requesting quotes for volumes of over $25,000 per month. We contacted mills in Europe via telex and had quotes in hand within hours from over a dozen mills. We settled with an Austrian company and orderd the steel to commence shipment on a monthly basis for a 12-month contract of $300,000. That’s when the ITC (International Trade Commission) reared its ugly head and informed us that there were quotas for tool-steel imports that had already been exceeded and that Widder could not get on the list and we were not allowed to import any tool steels. When we provided evidence that no American mill wanted our business they told us sorry those are America’s laws as negotiated by the ITC under GATT. In order to get our required raw material to manufacture a previously imported product in America we had to farm out the stamping operation to an Austrian company and import the steel as produced material. Then we had to sell our 80-ton new stamping press, as we no longer needed it. Yes. That’s right our own government forced us to farm out the stamping portion of the manufacturing of saw blades to a foreign manufacturer.

In another case Widder was a prime contractor to the U.S. Navy, Underwater Sea Systems Command, and U. S. Air force, as well as numerous governmental organizations. In order to sell machine tools to the Navy we had to undergo a rigorous testing regimen called TPR (Tool Performance Report) These tests were expensive and time consuming but once a product was approved sales were made after product instruction to a Naval purchasing authority. We gradually over the years built that business to over $ 50,000 per month. All at once in 1981 our orders stopped coming and business fell off sharply. We contacted our Naval representatives and were informed that a change in federal purchasing policy allowed any NATO nation to sell the U S Navy and all American military, without a TPR. As some of our items were patentended the navy gave the importers a rider so that they could sell our knocked-off products that did not meet specifications to them. We bitterly complained to the Navy, our congressman as well as Senators. Noting happened. Then we were contacted by the Navy and informed that we could sell our products to all NATO military worldwide. Our Zurich “Panox office contacted the British Admiralty, The French, Belgium, Dutch, and German Navies not one of them allowed our sales personnel into their buildings.

The fact that our own ITC negotiators who are clueless about business and manufacturing are the very people destroying our domestic manufacturing base is commonly known by all manufacturers, and certainly by ITC personnel.

Dell computers have just announced that they will be closing their largest American based manufacturing plant in Winston Salem, North Carolina. 900 American manufacturing jobs will be lost. Dell is moving their manufacturing operation to China and is investing $100 million in their new Chinese operation. American job losses According to the Economic Policy Institute, just to China are now at about one half million per year, while our trade deficit with China has grown a whopping 18% in just 2010. In 1950 American employment in manufacturing was 31% in 2010 that has fallen to 11.5%.

In national defense America no longer has the wherewithal to produce even one defense related product domestically. Not electronics, not armor, not aircraft, not even a ship. The real problem with this is that should any war of global size commence the replacement parts may not be available especially if the producer of those products is the enemy. (Not really a far-fetched proposition)

The American economy today, is made up of 70% in consumption of consumer goods and about half of that is spent on services. The problem with this scenario is that over 85% of those consumer goods are imports. And while that is going on, we learn from “Tax Notes”, that American multinationals have increased their foreign employment by 30% by over 10 million workers, in the last ten years, while at the same time reducing American labor employment to 21.1 million an 8% reduction. Now, let us be clear, while the government claims this to be solely the cause of corporate greed the facts don’t support that opinion. The reality is that American producers are saddled by a plethora of laws, regulations and mandates, mostly enforced by a bunch of nihilistic bureaucrats that don’t have a clue as to what they are actually supposed to be accomplishing.

Two examples, while your author was installing a large Ring Former (cost over $250,000) in Philadelphia an OSHA inspector appeared on the doorstep. Nice lady in a dress wearing high heels to inspect a steel fabrication plant. When she came to the machine she saw me in the pit under the machine adjusting the hydraulic clamping system. I was on my back working overhead. She fined the plant because I was not wearing a safety helmet, something that is impossible when you are lying on your back and working above. In another instance I had just completed the architectural plans for one of our new plants. OSHA regulations are thousands of pages and while I wrote the regulations for welding safety for the AWS & ANSI that were adopted by OSHA I wanted someone to go over the plans to see if there were any possible violations before we built. OSHA in Hartford CT was emphatic when they said “We do not look at plans before hand we will inspect after construction and tell you what you must change and fine you for the violation”, if that’s not stupid I am left speechless.

Even in the so-called “Service Sector Economy” we are on the losing end of the proposition. In 2000 America was number one in “Broadband” Internet use, today in 2010 we are ranked as number 15.

Progressive LBJ our 36th president was the genius that came up with the ultimate system of creating government dependency by citizens. It was LBJ’s continuation of FDR’s socialist plans for us. He called it the “Great Society” also called the “War on Poverty” that he instituted on Jan 8th 1964. America has spent over four trillion dollars on this fiasco. According to the American Census Bureau, the War on Poverty has been such an outstanding success that we have 43.6 million American’s living below the poverty line in 2010, the highest number since record keeping on this issue in 1960 and about double the number in 1964.

There is solution to this in economic, social and governmental terms!

• Allow all manufacturing companies to write off the total expense of any new equipment made in America the first year of purchase.

• Eliminate capital gains taxes for the coming three years.

• Eliminate the 3.8% tax on housing sales as instituted in the new Obamacare plan. (Repeal Obamacare)

• Require all regulatory agencies to upon inspection of any issue to issue a warning in writing suggesting the remedy and allowing reasonable time to implement it for the company to comply. Fines may only be given if the suggestion is ignored.

• Make permanent the Bush tax cut.

• Begin a decentralization of all bureaucracies out of Washington DC which posts an average bureaucrat’s pay at over twice the national average income.

• Close down the Department of Energy

• Close down the Department of Education

• Close down the Department of Housing and Urban Development

• Close down the Department of Health and Human Services

• Disband the Department of Homeland Security and make the various agencies including the Coast Guard stand alone organizations

• Close the department of Agriculture

• Close the Department of Transportation

• Fire all the Czars

• Shut down all Wars including the War on Drugs, War on Poverty, and wars overseas. (Not one of them can be shown to have succeeded in their planned outcome)

• Bring all troops home from all EU nations. (They are more than capable of defending themselves)

• Bring all troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq.

• Close the IRS and institute a flat 14% sales tax that may not be increased without a three-quarter majority and both houses and presidential approval.

• Repeal the 16th amendment

• Repeal the 17th Amendment

• Repeal the 14th amendment that was never legally ratified by congress.

• Reduce all government employment by 10% per year for the coming five years.

• Eliminate all legislative and executive branch pensions.

• Enforce term limits for all elected offices to two terms and appointed positions to ten years.

• Eliminate all taxes of savings accounts.

• Produce a constitutional amendment requiring congress and the executive to only produce a balanced budget.

• Place sufficient troops on the Mexican border armed with loaded rifles to stop all illegal immigration. (Use those troops coming home from overseas)

• Repeal the American Patriot Act

These acts would begin a very rapid recovery and reestablish America to its former greatness.
