American Politics and Government: An Utter Disappointment
Barack Obama and John McCain have proven the failure of American politics. Between the two of these puppets, they’ve spent more time clubbing each other over their past associations than anything else. No one is addressing the Federal Reserve and the validity of the IRS. No one is talking about a sound monetary policy that isn’t controlled by private banks. No one is talking about anything innovative to restructure America for future growth and prosperity. What the American people ARE hearing from these candidates and the mainstream media is a lot of noise and drama. They are distractions (but great money makers for the mainstream media).
However, there’s a lot of talk about energy policy. There’s a lot of talk about tax cuts for the middle class. There’s a lot of talk about education. I would agree that all of these things are important, but the first point of business should be the restructuring of America’s core foundation. This is the real change America truly needs.
Real change can be summed up in the following points:
1. The immediate withdrawal of troops from the Middle East. This isn’t a war of winning. It’s a war of greed, oil and power. We’re spending $10 Billion per month in Iraq. It’s pointless. We have no business there other than to protect our interests in the Middle East’s vast natural resources. The puppeteers are not happy that THEY are not in control of those resources and they will stop at nothing to seize such control.
2. The immediate firing of the Federal Reserve board. Ben Bernanke and the rest of his puppets should be sent on a permanent vacation. Soon after, the Fed should be dissolved and forgotten about forever. However, prior to such dissolution of a worthless and fraudulent entity (which was created and ratified in secret), we need to identify a new method for money creation and distribution that is free of the influence of private bankers, corrupt politicians and other decision makers.
3. The immediate dissolution of the IRS. Year after year, time after time, the IRS cannot produce substantial evidence that its gargantuan tax code explicitly states the American people are required to pay taxes. What is the IRS tax code, anyway? It’s a lot of fluff filled with legalese to scare and torture free Americans into giving away their hard earned wages to a fraudulent entity.
While I am not a fan of any form of taxation, a flat-rate national sales tax would do more for the American people than a worthless and fiscally irresponsible entity such as the IRS.
4. The immediate end of race-based policies, programs and classifications in favor of a merit-based society. Race is a hideous concept which has divided America since its beginning. The solution to race is for it not to exist in the first place. Unfortunately, few Americans are willing to consider the validity of race and its origins. This is a grave challenge to overcome and will require years of education to have any real progress toward realizing a difference. A merit-based America will remove quotas, preferences and discrimination from the heart of our society.
5. The immediate implementation of a citizen oversight committee in Washington. Washington politicians have proven hundreds of times that they do not listen to their constituents. The mammoth $700 Billion bailout package (”Investor Insurance”) is a perfect example. This committee should have the authority to overrule decisions which are deemed ‘harmful, impractical and ill-sighted’ by America’s government and representatives. This country can no longer afford to be ‘represented’ by reckless decision making in Washington.
6. The dissolution of a two-party system. Americans deserve a greater choice in politics. We need to encourage the adoption of a multi-party system which is designed to thwart preferential treatment and corruption in Washington, the media, etc.
7. A restructuring of American government. A multi-party system is a great start, but we must also consider the current structure of our government and how it has failed the people. We must break through the facade of our current government and work toward revamping what government should be in America. We need to rethink governing, regulation, laws and more.
Frankly, we should wipe the slate clean and start over with something new and fresh for the 21st century. It is this point of change that could truly become a defining for not only America, but the entire world.
8. Give lobbyists and special interests the boot in Washington. Lobbyists are responsible for some of the most crooked policies coming out of Washington. They’ve had their fun, made their millions, and gotten away with bloody murder (literally). They should be booed and pushed aside to make room for a citizen renaissance in Washington and America.
In the end, the new America should really be about the people. If I were old enough to run for President, I’d be running a campaign that’s built around the idea of a citizen renaissance. That’s real change. Thanks for reading and please share your comments below.
$700 Billion Isn’t Enough To Stop The Bleeding
For some reason, people believe the recently passed bailout package (let’s call it ‘Investors Insurance’) is the end all solution to our country’s financial crisis. The reality? It’s just beginning. The markets are no more sound today than before the bill’s passing.
Within the next two weeks, I expect there to be another bank failure. We should anticipate further consolidation on Wall Street as well. As I’ve mentioned before, what’s occurring here are two things:
1. The mass consolidation of banking power (and ultimately, greater control of the nation’s money supply, which is already steered by private banks via the Federal Reserve)
2. Americans are being robbed of their freedom and financial security — In plain sight!
No one should have voted for this bill, especially when considering the number of provisions which are NOT related to rescuing Wall Street. It was the perfect time for greedy politicians to push through their own interests at the expense of the American people.
When will Americans stop accepting the status quo and actually challenge it? When will Americans become ’sick and tired’ and stand up for great change in their homeland? When will Americans stop waiting for puppets (sorry, they call these guys ‘presidents’ and ‘presidential candidates’) to shift the course of America’s future?
Protest. Blog. Call people. Speak up. Be heard.
Is the IRS Unconstitutional? Jeff Dickstein Thinks So!
I received the following e-mail via a Ron Paul Meetup group I’m subscribed to. I’ve always had my doubts about the validity of the IRS and I thought I’d pass along the word about one man’s battle to prove that the IRS is unconstitutional:
This is the case that will prove that the 16th Amendment was never ratified. He and Red Beckman have been working for years trying to get this through. This is the Achilles heel for the IRS. If the 16th Amendment wasn’t ratified CONSTITUTIONALLY than the IRS goes bye bye!
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has set oral argument on Benson’s appeal for October 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m in the main courtroom, Rm. 2721, at 219 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL.
I have previously spoken with several of you about helping to arrange a mass demonstration and notifying the press regarding this historical case. I have also issued a Call to Arms on my website with a list of actions that could be taken. To date, not much has happened. Now there is just about 30 days.
This is the last chance. We can either put political pressure on the 7th Cir, Congress and notify the press or not. Its up to you.
We can do a mass press release for about $2,000 by hiring a PR firm that specializes in that type of work. I already have the contact. If you want that to happen, you need to send the money, now.
If you want to organize a protest and mass get together outside the 7th Cir, you need to do that, now. You will need permits and figure out how to get people to show up.

More Bailout Malarkey: Congress Threatened with ‘Martial Law’
In another turn of events in the ongoing battle to pass the outrageous $700 Billion bailout bill, Rep. Brad Sherman is shown in the video below discussing the fear mongering of the U.S. Government, including the threat of ‘Martial Law’ on all American citizens.
It is my hope that Congress will stand strong, listen to the American people and reject this bill for a second and final time. Major banks and other financial institutions should NOT be rewarded with taxpayer money to replenish the coffers depleted by their bad investments and decisions. If this measure doesn’t wake up the American people, I’m not sure what will.
Here’s a question to answer: When was the last time you were offered a ‘bailout’ as an individual for YOUR bad financial decisions? What happens to those who gamble their life savings away? What happens to the unemployed? Is there someone to bail these people out in time of distress? No!
Let’s also be reminded that both John McCain and Barack Obama are in favor of this bailout package. What does this tell you about these two men? They’re both unfit to make decisions which are healthy for the American people and the future of this country. Our national debt has exceeded $10 Trillion. How much longer can our country function under such burden?
Bailout: Consolidation of Power in Plain Sight
The $700 Billion bailout package for Wall Street isn’t exactly small news. It’s on the lips and minds of millions of Americans. Sometime today, Congress could push through — Behind closed doors — America’s largest taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout in decades.
This bailout package is simply a band-aid. What most Americans don’t realize is the consolidation of power on Wall Street. Major banks are being acquired for pennies on the dollar. It harkens back to the early days of the Federal Reserve, where puppeteers forced the market to the brink of collapse to acquire assets on the cheap.
J.P. Morgan recently acquired Washington Mutual for $1.9 Billion through a government-brokered deal. The acquisition adds more than 5,400 branches, thousands of ATMs, $300+ Billion in assets and more than $109 Billion in deposits. What a bargain, eh?
There is a lot more going on behind the scenes in this bailout than many would think. It’s part of a global strategy to cherry pick, consolidate and expand one’s global power in an effort to achieve world domination. The New World Order is real and is behind a well-strategized movement to bankrupt Americans so that they can offer a better solution: World Government.
It’s not over, folks. It’s just beginning.
