World-renowned speaker Tony Robbins has devoted some time to discussing America’s gargantuan $16 trillion national debt. In this video, he shares figures inspired by blogger Iowahawk, where he uses visual aids to break down our unfathomable debt. It’s twenty minutes long and I urge you to spend every minute watching it.

At the end, Robbins asks viewers to write their Congressperson and president. Don’t waste your time, because they won’t listen. When has your government ever listened to you? The next step isn’t a phone call or letter, but bold actions. We’ve reached a critical point in our history that demands an outright replacement of a cancerous government overtaken by lobbyists, corrupt politicians and arithmetic-challenged planners who believe everything is fine.

Guess what? America is far from fine. We’re in deep trouble, and we won’t solve our problems by playing partisan politics. You can’t save your country as a conservative or liberal. These political ideologies serve no one and has done more harm than good. The time is now to think clearly and independently of your party and Washington.

Former Federal Reserve economist David Barker speaks to Fox Business’ John Stossel about central planning and monetary policy. Shockingly, he’s advocating the printing of your own money and ending of the Federal Reserve. He believes central planning is ineffective and cites examples in history to support his view.

Barker’s video left me speechless and supports everything Ron Paul, others and myself continue to advocate for: A society that’s free of centralized monetary manipulation and destruction. Kudos to Mr. Barker.

America is in dire straights. Our national debt will soon eclipse a massive and unsustainable $15 trillion. Republicans and democrats in Washington refuse to honor their oath by making the right choices. Our military is overworked, overextended and far too costly. The incapable, destructive and useless Federal Reserve continue to promote itself as America’s super hero – but it only worsens our standing domestically and globally.

Americans have long suffered from the policies of its government and central bank. From numerous and costly wars to showbiz politics that do little to help us, there’s now a growing outcry against the sponsored suits who believe they know best for 330 million citizens. Washington and the Federal Reserve have shown Americans and the world their lack of discipline, honesty and commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the people.

Elections have failed to produce any real results over the last few decades. Americans have consistently voted for polished suits, handsome faces and elaborate speeches that simply recycle the past. Some will argue that the benefits are plentiful, yet one look at the numbers (debt, wars, policies, liabilities) and it’s easy to see that America has failed in good monetary and government policy.

Washington’s appetite for endless wars, occupation of foreign lands and irreparable debt is never a good thing for our country. And as we watch the establishment struggle for survival and relevance, the timing couldn’t be better to reconsider what government and money should be going into 2012.

It is my belief that all Americans must now look and think beyond the failed political and monetary structure that has created our dismal reality. The people cannot accept more failure from a broken system that cannot be fixed. Perhaps the Internet is now America’s only hope to restoring our country, currency and social structure. The elite will fight and claw their way to maintaining their power, but in the end, America can do better without them.

I urge you to reconsider what government and money means to you. I urge you to demand a better government and currency for your country, family and friends. I urge you to speak out against the status quo for destroying America, our freedoms and way of life. I urge you to have conversations with your neighbors about the state of our nation and its future.

Current events demand Americans to think outside the box. Imagine the America we all deserve, then tell someone about it. Share your ideas and thoughts. But most important, please set aside partisan politics. Our reliance on party ideals is partly to blame for our problems.

I submitted the letter below to Governor Hickenlooper’s office on May 26 @ 9 am.

Mr. Hickenlooper,

If you stand for the US Constitution, I urge you to stand for the people and ban the TSA statewide for its blatant violation of the 4th amendment. This is America. We do not violate the people’s rights. We stand up for and protect them.

Do you stand with the people and the constitution, Mr. Hickenlooper? Isn’t that what public officials swear to, or is it simply theater with a little business thrown in?

Regards,

Ronald Lewis
Denver, Colorado

Dear Federal Reserve System: If you believe in what’s right, please stand with me, the US Constitution and others to make America better. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional. This is fact. Put your jobs on the line. Save the future of your friends and family. The American people are suffering from high energy and food costs. Our currency has lost more than ninety-percent of its purchasing power since 1913. This isn’t fair. It’s not right. It’s wrong. The American people are tired of being misled and lied to. The Federal Reserve will self-destruct at the heavy hand of Ben Bernanke’s policies. He does not have the power to right the destructive course we’re all on. Any hope for containing the damage caused by the Federal Reserve is beyond its control.

I urge you to do what’s right. For America. For your fellow citizen. For our future. Call for Bernanke’s immediate resignation. Be the change within. Be the solution to the problem. Stand up for the ideals of America. We can make our country whole again.

The US Government just breached its $14.3 trillion debt ceiling (translation: Washington is ‘officially’ broke). The US Dollar is at a three-year low (translation: fewer dollars to save, vacation, invest, shop, etc.). 90% of the Dollar’s purchasing power has evaporated since 1913. The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and others are calling for an increase to America’s debt ceiling. Just say NO!

Stop the Fed’s destructive monetary policy on the US Dollar. Support competing currencies in America under HR4248. Call 202-452-3000. Ask for Ben Bernanke’s office or public affairs. Tell them he’s fired. Demand accountability now! Time is running out for the Federal Reserve and the US Dollar. Both will self-destruct thanks to quantitative easing, the Fed’s $3 trillion balance sheet, and the many liabilities the Fed has no control over.

Hello Denver — Several years ago, I fought for people owning twenty-four million shares in a revolt against a multi-billion dollar corporation. Just recently, I inspired the closure of thousands of accounts at Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc. Today, I am calling on volunteers to sit-in at the Denver Federal Reserve.

Why do this?

Current events. Our future. We need to send a clear message to Bernanke that we’re fed up with his monetary policies. Kansas City Federal Reserve President Thomas Hoenig is speaking out on everything from quantitative easing to skyrocketing food prices. We will demand an end to the Fed’s destructive actions on the world economy and our purchasing power here at home. This is an opportunity to air our frustration in a peaceful way by demonstrating inside the heart of the beast.

Once I’ve received enough responses, I will announce a day for us to meet. It will be during the week — either in the morning (9a) or afternoon (11a-1p). I need cameras and live feeds to Justin.TV, Livestream.com & UStream.TV. If you care about your country, please join me in this effort. We can set the tone for Americans to follow — right here in Denver.

Let’s be the voice of change in the Mile High.

What further proof do we need that the Federal Reserve is magically creating money out of thin air (and siphoning money out of your pocket through inflation)? Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke nods in agreement to questioning by Congressman Ron Paul:

I.O.U.S.A., the critically acclaimed documentary about America’s economic crisis (a $9+ Trillion deficit), is being featured nationwide tonight at select theaters with a LIVE Q&A with Warren Buffet, Pete Peterson and Dave Walker. I purchased my ticket yesterday and I’m looking forward to this compelling piece along with commentary and insights from a respectable figure in the global markets (Buffet).

If you can attend, find a local theatre and purchase a ticket ASAP!

From the IOUSA website:

“Wake up, America! We’re on the brink of a financial meltdown. I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.

Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. Wielding candid interviews with both average American taxpayers and government officials, Sundance veteran Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) helps demystify the nation’s financial practices and policies. The film follows former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America’s unsustainable fiscal policies to its citizens.

With surgical precision, Creadon interweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarming profile of America’s current economic situation. The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can recreate a fiscally sound nation for future generations.

Creadon uses candid interviews and his featured subjects include Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Paul O’Neill, Robert Rubin, and Paul Volcker, along with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s own David Walker and Bob Bixby of the Concord Coalition, a Foundation grantee.

Pointedly topical and consummately nonpartisan, I.O.U.S.A. drives home the message that the only time for America’s financial future is now.”

The “Credit River Decision” of 1968 (I’ve blogged about it here) raises an important question today about bank loans and foreclosures: Are they illegal and without merit?

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 hasn’t changed much since its inception. Banks are still creating money from nothing. That’s right. Nothing. New money and credit is created by simply adding it to their books. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not.

Like all things in modern day life, when you dissect the meaning and fine print, you soon discover that many things are just a Monopoly game. They’re made up. Realistically, you don’t even need to research this stuff. If you think hard enough, you’ll see it all for yourself. For those who say otherwise about these things, they are either uninformed or are protecting the interests of those they serve.

The banking cartel are not in the business of being your friend. They are in the business of maintaining their monopoly over the people and society. It’s time to ask questions, America. Do you want freedom or slavery? It’s your choice.
