Czars: Unconstitutional, Unelected, Unofficial, And Unwanted!


There has been a lot of talk about the appointing of and use of Czars in the current Obama administration. Quite frankly, I had no idea what the connotation of this word was, nor what the historical power of that title really meant throughout history and today.

And so, being the ever-curious soul that I am, I did a bit of research.

I’d like to share that with you now:

(Emphasis mine throughout!)

What is a Czar?

According to the 1984 Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition – the term Czar is defined as:

Czar:

  1. An emperor: title of any of the former emperors of Russia, and at various times, the sovereigns of other Slavic nations.
  2. Any person having great or unlimited power over others; autocrat

Czarism:

  1. The Russian government under the Czars.
  2. Absolute rule; despotism

Hmmm… I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound very good to me. It certainly doesn’t sound like a Democracy or a Republic, where leaders are voted upon before entering office. And I refuse to believe that America has fallen so far as to be so ignorant of the past that their jaws don’t drop at the mere mention of the appointment of multiple “Czars” into their government.

Since this was a hard cover traditional dictionary from 1984 (a fitting year for this information, if you ask me) I thought this might be a biased, older, or out of date description of the word used to describe the people who are now advising our president.

So, I checked the Internet.

Here’s what I found there…

I went to Wikipedia, a site I would never use as a source of accurate information, but one none the less that many people do, despite it’s ability to be changed by even the most moronic of its users. But I figure that at least this is the going public opinion of what a Czar might be. Never the less, after some fact-checking… here’s what it said:

Tzar or Czar (Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian): Term with Bulgarian origins used to designate certain monarchs. The first ruler to adopt the title tsar was Simeon I of Bulgaria.

Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch).

Occasionally, the word could be used to designate other, non-Christian, supreme rulers. In Russia and Bulgaria the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time and, by the 19th century, it had come to be viewed as an equivalent of King.

“Tsar” was the official title of the supreme ruler in the following states:

  • Bulgaria in 913–1018, in 1185–1422 and in 1908–1946
  • Serbia in 1346–1371
  • Russia from about 1547 until 1721 (replaced in 1721 by imperator, but remained in common usage until 1917).

Under the heading “Metaphorical Uses” Wiki-Pedia states:

Like many lofty titles, e.g. Mogul, Tsar or Czar has been used as a metaphor for positions of high authority, in English since 1866 (referring to U.S. President Andrew Johnson), with a connotation of dictatorial powers and style, fitting since “Autocrat” was an official title of the Russian Emperor (informally referred to as ‘the Tsar’). Similarly, Speaker of the House Thomas Brackett Reed was called “Czar Reed” for his dictatorial control of the House of Representatives in the 1880s and 1890s.

In the United States the title “czar” is a slang term for certain high-level civil servants, such as the “drug czar” for the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, “terrorism czar” for a Presidential advisor on terrorism policy, “cybersecurity czar” for the highest-ranking Department of Homeland Security official on computer security and information security policy, and “war czar” to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More specifically, a czar refers to a sub-cabinet level advisor within the executive branch of the U.S. government.

Under the political term explanation page, WikiPedia states the following:

Rationale:

Advantages cited for the creation of czar type posts are the ability to go outside of formal channels and find creative solutions for ad hoc problems, the ability to involve a lot of government players in big issue decision-making, and the ability to get a huge bureaucracy moving in the right direction. Problems can occur with getting all the parties to work together and with managing competing power centers.

One explanation for use of the term is that while the American public rebels at terms like “king” and “dictator”, associating them with King George III or fascist figures of World War II, the term “czar” is foreign, distant, and exotic enough to be acceptable. And the fact that czar positions are often created in times of perceived public crisis makes the public eager to see a strong figure making hard decisions that the existing political structure is unable to do.[6] Another is that Americans of the era adopted exotic Asian words to denote those with great, and perhaps unchecked, power, with “mogul” and “tycoon” being other instances.

The increase in czar positions over time may be because as the size and role of the federal government has grown, so too has the difficulty of coordinating policy across multiple organizational jurisdictions. Indeed, czar positions sometimes become important enough that they become permanent executive offices, such as the Office of National Drug Control Policy or the United States Trade Representative.

Wow! So how many Czars do we have now?

Well, buckle your seatbelts… for in July of 2009, The Daily Citizen reported that:

“It has taken President Barack Obama less than eight months to do what imperial Russia could not do in 400 years.

“Taxpayers for Common Sense reports that: Obama has appointed 31 “czars.” That’s more than ruled Russia during its entire imperial history.


“Obama has appointed a California water czar, a Mideast peace czar and a Mideast policy czar, a pay czar (to determine how much the private sector should pay, not the government), a health care czar, an energy czar and a green jobs czar, a Sudan czar, a climate change czar and numerous others, with the promise of more to come. And, if you can’t keep track of all the czars, don’t worry. Obama has also appointed an information czar.

“… Few of these czars require any congressional approval, but Obama has given many of them power over cabinet-level officials who are subject to confirmation.

(Source: The Daily Citizen –  http://www.northwestgeorgia.com/opinion/local_story_189163602.html?keyword=topstory)

Steve Forbes is quoted while speaking about Czars:

“It underscores the inefficiency of government that you keep … having people, hoping that maybe they will get something done that the massive government bureaucracy cannot.”

(Source: “Questions Raised Over Influence of Obama ‘Czars'”. Fox News. July 13, 2009. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/13/questions-raised-influence-obama-czars/)

So who is paying these “Czars” salaries?

Why the taxpayers of course!

How much power do these Czars actually have?

Good question… As stated by the Daily Citizen above:

Few of these czars require any congressional approval, but Obama has given many of them power over cabinet-level officials who are subject to confirmation.

So much apparent power do these Czars have, that Rep. Jack Kingston [Republican-GA] introduced a bill – H.R. 3226: Czar Accountability and Reform (CZAR) Act of 2009 – on July 15, 2009. Apparently this bill is so important to the members of the House of Representatives that it currently has 116 co-sponsors, all of them Republican. The one co-sponsor that was a Democrat was withdrawn at some point. When the whole of the Republican Party, including my personal hero Ron Paul supports a bill, which would reign in the Democratic President and party, one should not take such legislation lightly. The same would be true in opposite party circumstances. See the contents of the bill here:

(http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-3226)

The main concern here, one that is generally lost on the American people, is that these Czars are appointed without Congressional or Senate approval by one person: the President Of The United States. This alone should be enough to warrant extreme caution about the man who is for all intents and purposes in charge of our country (or more correctly: the man who signs the legislation and corrupt laws in the stead of lobbyists and wealthy elite bankers and corporations who funded his campaign and are incrementally taking control of our country). For the appointment of these men and women, of whom many have considerably tarnished and controversial political, economic, populist, and global oriented views, is a violation of the governmental and constitutional values we once held so dear to our hearts.

President Obama continues to keep in place and head the advice of such Czars as Paul Holdren – the “science czar” who co-wrote the book Ecoscience – “which proposed and supported such ideals as “compulsory sterilization,” and the creation of a “Planetary Regime” that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet.” (infowars.com). Strangely, these ideals were not brought to light in Holdren’s Senate confirmation hearings. Unfortunately, this begs the assumption that the Senate is equally complicate in the appointment and support of these Czars, whether they are approved or not.

In conclusion, Obama appears to be out of control! While the gullible masses who support him are still admonishing him as the Savior of America, his empty promises of “hope and change” continue to ring – like a false Liberty Bell, whose crack is ever-widening and is about to break in half, along with this now condemned and nearly broken country. These Czars are the specters of false prophets; ghouls who resemble the character portrayal of Worm-tongue from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And I for one am sickened by the ill-boded direction our electorate has taken towards the support of these tyrannical and unconstitutional, unelected rulers.

Quite frankly, the words of a fictional but oh so relevant news anchor perhaps best suit the stance we should all be taking towards the president and these unelected psychopaths who advise him…

I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!

The Not So New Declaration of Independence


I was reading the Declaration of Independence the other day (an act every one of you should do while it is still relevant and applicable) and I came upon the following section. It is the charges brought against King George, the King of Great Britain in 1776, by the 13 colonies as grounds for the Declaration of Independence.

What struck me the most was that of these charges: if but a few words, names, and institutions were replaced by current ones, including the United Nations, the followingwould be as extremely relevant today as they were in those tyrannical times.

Here are those charges:

——-†——-
(From: The Declairation of Independence, 1776)

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity, which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

  • He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
  • He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
  • He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
  • He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
  • He has refused for a long time, after such disolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
  • He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
  • He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  • He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
  • He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
  • For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
  • For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
  • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
  • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
  • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fitinstrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
  • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
  • For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
  • He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
  • He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
  • He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
  • He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
  • He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

——-†——-

Now, I don’t know about you… but I was taken aback by the similarities between these “grievances” and the same ones I have for our current administration.

Perhaps it is time that, like many states that have reasserted their sovereignty from the federal government, “We The People” should restate our grievances once more.

It wouldn’t take much, for sitting in a museum nearby is a brilliant document that is already written, and which we could just dust off and re-use for our quite similar purpose.

  • Replace King with “President”,
  • Great Britain with the “United Nations “and the“Federal Reserve”,
  • and the Colonies with the “United States”.

Suddenly, we have a document which cries for attention, which needs redistribution, and which holds the key to our liberty.

Just a thought…

Chicago’s Olympic Dreams Dashed? Well Of Course They Were!


Yippee! The 2016 Olympics are going to be in Rio!

Good for Brazil…

Yahoo! The corrupt president of America didn’t get the Olympics for the lobby in his most corrupt town of Chicago, where such anti-Christ candidates as Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Henry Kissinger bred him to be president!

Good for Earth…

But let’s look at this reasonably.

Why aren’t the Olympics going to be in America in 2016?

The same reason, I would imagine, that the World Trade Center isn’t being rebuilt in a hurry. The global powers that be know there won’t be a United States standing by 2016. Why waste the money building stadiums, aquatic centers, malls, city centers, and other temporary and extraordinarily expensive landmarks for one event that only lasts around three weeks. Nobody will want to travel half way around the world to enter a horrific police state in a 2nd or 3rd world, completely indebted country as the future America will no doubt be, whatever its name by then or how many parts it gets split into.

The Olympics lost any appeal it might have had for me when it was instituted many years ago that professional athletes could compete in lieu of amateurs. This dashing of Olympic hopefuls who work their whole lives to get onto the teams that go to the games really angered me. I was extremely happy when the Dream Team got beat. The ideal of the Olympic Games has been swallowed up by pomp and circumstance, corporate advertising, and something other than dreams.

And as for Rio… well, I imagine a wall will be built to hide the slums from public view – similar to China’s Olympics – but not high enough to obscure the mountaintop art deco statue of Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: O Cristo Redentor) as he no doubt frowns upon the corporately sponsored games. And in 2020, after the wall is removed, and as the once grand, now abandoned and unused structures are decaying in the humid ocean air, the beautifully downtrodden and hungry people of the Morro da Babilônia favela (Rio slums) will no doubt wonder at how much that billions of dollars in Olympic funding could have helped the real economy of that country on a more permanent basis.

And O Cristo Redentor will no doubt continue to hold out his hopeful but empty hands over the Rio slums… in a permanent state of false hope.

Will Independence Day Have A Sequel? How Long Can America Last Without One?


The basic premise of the 1st amendment is the predicate of free speech. It is the freedom of religious speech. It is the freedom of speaking in groups and in public forums. And most importantly, it is the freedom of dissenting speech considering government tyranny.

There is only one thing given to us – as we are referred to in the constitution as “We The People” – to ensure that these 1st amendment rights are not trampled upon. That wondrous and glorious thing is the 2nd amendment.

This “Bill of Rights” should be read as a list, in order of importance from 1 to 10.

If the 1st amendment fails – see the 2nd amendment.

If the 2nd amendment fails – there is no need to read any further, for they to will then soon cease to exist if they haven’t already. This is how vital the 2nd amendment truly is to the health and freedom of this republic and for its free people.

The 2nd amendment gives us (We The People) the power to own firearms, for the very purpose of quelling a foreign or domestic threat. This not only includes, but was intended to mean the very government of the United States, in the extraordinary state of affairs in which the sovereignty of America and it’s individual states, the freedom of it’s people from dictatorial and governmental tyranny, the use of a standing army is imposed on its citizens, unfair and unapportioned taxes, or if a foreign country, group or body (like the United Nations) assumes control over any part of its independence from such things.

At the time of the Constitutions writing America’s threat was England’s Monarchy. “We the People” fought with their blood, sweat and tears to detach themselves from England’s rule and “Taxation without Representation” and win its independence from the rule of a far away king or queen.

Today, even as most high officials of the U.S government and all previous presidents, including Obama, have bowed before the Queen and been honored or knighted (a wholly illegal and unconstitutional act which calls for their immediate impeachment form office and expulsion from the country, according to Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution), these traitors are passing legislation to take away our 1st Amendment, while passing legislation which will retract our defense against this treachery, the 2nd Amendment. In fact the very Bill of Rights, which protects us all from these foreign and domestic threats, has almost been completely legislated away by these honorary knights and nobles of the crown of England. It has been a long, incremental process with many stages – and the final stage is upon us. Demonstrators are being harassed and arrested, and guns and bullets are being confiscated. Both of these events mark the end of America as we know it, and are ushering in the police state no one seems to want to talk out loud about.

I write this even as four of my neighbors within three blocks have recently lost their properties to eminent domain; properties which had been in their families for over 100 years.

So what gives these presidents, legislators, and high class citizens of the United States the right to ignore the constitution of the United States of America and become honorary nobels and knights to the crown of Great Britain without being disbarred, impeached, and thrown out of America on their perspective butts by We the People?

I wish I knew.

And perhaps it’s time we do so.

The United States Senate has kept a journal of its proceedings since its inaugural session, as was conditioned by Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution, which states:

Each House shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the members of either House, on any question, shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered on the journal.

The Journal itself is essentially the minutes of each legislative session. It states most official matters considered by the Senate, their votes, and other actions taken.

Here is an excerpt from the “Journal Of The Senate” from 1810 referring to Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution (See full page below):

If any citizen of the United States shall except, claim, receive, or retain, any title of nobility, or honor, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept any present, pension, office, or emolument, of any kind whatsoever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.

—————————————————————————–

(Page #503 from senate in 1810)

Notice that legislation passed 26 to 1 in favor of the new law.

—————————————————————————–

There are many who would argue against this amendment, saying that it is only an honorary title of nobility, and that the recipients only bow from the neck, and not from the waist, or that a sword is not used, or that it doesn’t really mean anything.

So I must ask: If it doesn’t mean anything… why do it. Why cause the controversy over absolutely nothing? Why mock our most honorable national document we so cherish and go against your oath to protect and follow it? And why not publicly proclaim your allegiance to the United States and denounce publically any loyalty or ties to crown?

Sound ridiculous? Think I’m being an alarmist? Think I’m going overboard?

Well then, let’s put this into terms we can all relate to…

Let’s say you’re a player or the coach for a basketball team in a league of basketball teams. You naturally expect a fair game from the other team (countries). And you expect the referee (government) to be impartial and fair in his judgments and penalties, for he is present to ensure that these rules be followed and enforced, and even to asses penalties for violations of these rules. However, before the game begins you find out that the referee was accepted as an honorary member of the other team in a secret ceremony, and held in the highest regards by that team, given gifts by that team, and that in doing so, pled his honorary, undying allegiance to that team. Would you continue to allow that referee to arbitrate your match, knowing his allegience was biased against your team, or would you have that referee excused in lieu of an impartial and noncommittal one? In fact, would you not go out of your way to ensure that this referee never served over another game again by kicking him out of the league, to spare other teams the same unfair treatment?

If I am but an honorary member of a known anti-American terrorist group, may I live freely in America without your fear of my bombing your car, or would you take acception to my being your neighbor?

If I then kill or assassinate someone honorably, do I assume innocence from the law and escape punishment?

*** The following is a partial list of men and women who have accepted these honors of knighthood from the queen, some while serving in office, and some still serving:

George Herbert Walker Bush – (12/20/93) – As he kneeled before the queen in a ceremony of allegence, he was knighted by the Queen of England as a “Knight Grand Cross with the most honorable Order of the Bath”

Ronald Reagan – Knighted “Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath” by H.M. Queen Elizabeth

General Colin Powell – (1993) – Appointed “Knights Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath” by H.M. Queen Elizabeth


General Norman Schwarzkop

Alan Greenspan
(former Federal Reserve Chief) – (08/06/02) – Knighted “Knight Commander of the British Empire” (KBE) at a time when Mr. Greenspan was often referred to as “the second most powerful man in the world.”

*** Also interesting to note: the title of “Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire” is an honor that dates back to 1917, around the same time the Federal Reserve gained power over the United States and its money system, which has put us all in unrecoverable debt and enacted the Federal income tax which was never approved, but is still illegally enforced. Mr. Greenspan was the fourth head of that corrupt private international bank with power not under the government, but over it.

Rudy Guiliani – (2002) – “Knight Commander of the British Empire” (KBE)


Charleton Heston
– (03/16/97) – Commander, Order of Arts and Letters (France). The French Order of Arts and Letters is France’s highest civilian honor for those in the performing arts.

Note: The NRA is bunk!


Admiral Leighton W Smith Jr.
(retired) – 03/05/97) – Appointed by Queen Elizabeth II as an “Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire” (Military Division) (KBE)

Roy Disney and Mrs. Disney – (01/04/98) – “Knight, Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great”

Bob and Delores Hope – (01/04/98) – “Knight, Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great” – Bob Hope was actually born in England, but was a U.S. citizen.

Caspar Weinberger – (former U.S. Secretary of Defense) – appointed “Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire” by H.M. Queen Elizabeth


Tom Foley

– J Edgar Hoover (first director of the FBI, who formalized the CoIntelPro (illegal spying)
– Henry Kissinger (German eugenic political advisor to many presidents including Obama)
– Steven Spielberg (writer/director/producer of film – propaganda master)
– Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (beloved actor and highly decorated navel officer)

The Tytler Cycle

†———————————-†———————————-†

The Scottish historian Alexander Tytler composed the following theory:

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

“From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:


From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage.”


Consider now that the following empires all lasted just a bit over 200 years:

Assyria (859-612 B.C.): a 247-year reign.
Persia (538-330 B.C.): a 208-year reign.
Greece (331-100 B.C.): a 231-year reign.
The Roman Republic (260-27 B.C.): a 233-year reign.
The Roman Empire (27 B.C.-180 A.D.): a 207-year reign.
The Arab Empire (634-880 A.D.): a 246-year reign.
The Mameluke Empire (1250-1517 A.D.): a 267-year reign.
The Ottoman Empire (1320-1570 A.D.): a 250-year reign.
Spain (1500-1750 A.D.): a 250-year reign.
Romanov Russia (1682-1916 A.D.): a 234-year reign.
Great Britain (1700-1950 A.D.): a 250-year reign.
The United States (1790-2009 A.D.): 219 years and counting.

***List compiled by Chuck Baldwin – Constitutional Party presidential candidate in 2008 that most voters never even knew was on the ballot untill election day, due to a media blackout on “alternative” and “third party” candidates.

•    Now consider that the United States has been around – since winning it’s war for independence and becoming a nation – for 219 years.

•    Or depending on your historical perspective, since 1776 – the unofficial humble beginnings of our country through the Declaration of Independence – for 233 years (Coincidentally the exact years of the Roman Republic listed above).

So, my fellow Americans… at what point do we call foul?

Who will stand up before we fall down… the next domino in a continuously falling line of banker destroyed civilizations?

Who will kick these traitors out of office and out of the country before they are the ruin of us?

The Protection Of The Sanctity Of Marriage Act


“The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” is a proposal for a new bill to be voted on as a proposition for future elections in California.

Its basic clause is that divorce be banned from the law books and become illegal. This is to apply to all marriage contracts that are currently legal in California, as well as to all future marriage contracts. There will be a four month grace period before this law takes effect in order to allow for current divorce proceedings to be completed, as well as to allow for people currently in said contracts to opt out of these marriages (to be titled: The Opt-Out Period). This grace period will allow for divorce proceedings until this to-be-determined effective date. However, all divorce cases must be settled in court by this date or: they will become invalid, the marriage contract will remain intact, and the contractually bound “husband and wife” will continue to be happily married until the stated condition of “death” is met by one or more of the married parties in question. This act will also make out-of-state divorces non-recognizable in California, unless the original marriage contract was made in another state. The citizenry of the great state of California should not and will no longer tolerate the “Las Vegas” divorce.

We sincerely hope that this bill will inspire other states in the union to ratify similar laws in order to protect all of our children, and make the act of marriage wholesome once more. We believe that marriage is an act of love, and that love can only be guided through the heart when accompanied through state contract. Marriage is a contractual pledge of eternal love, which cannot and should not be allowed to be relinquished by the state. It is not a choice: It is forever.

Who would support this bill?

  • A. The church – How can the church possibly condone divorce? Marriage is a holy religious tradition with deep roots in the church itself. The ceremony is wrought with scripture and references to God of how the commitment is a holy and sanctimonious bond. For the church to come out in opposition of this act would essentially amount to blasphemy.
  • B. Gay men and women – Simply said, if the act of marriage is so extremely sanctimonious that it was made to exclude a group which is barely even referred to in the bible, then it should be protected against such subservient and deviant laws such as divorce and alimony. Simply put: homosexual couples cannot be married, and so heterosexual couples cannot be divorced. One must ask which if any minority group would fail to see this as a fair and equitable trade-off for the blatant persecution of their individual and group rights?
  • C. Mothers and children – This is really a bill for the children. It would protect and enforce the family structure, making it illegal for the father to leave the mother, therefore permanently preserving the family unit. After all, the vow says “Till death do us part”. No longer will children have to be torn between parents in psychologically damaging custody battles. Children should above all be protected from the horrible ordeal of divorce. Abusive spouses will of course be given the benefit of the doubt. We believe that a good spanking builds character. And a beating is good for the soul. After all, bruises heal eventually… don’t they?
  • D. Fathers – In an unjust court system the father always seems to get stuck with the child support, even if he wants the kids for himself. But he never seems to get custody of the kids. This will no longer be an issue – there will be no more drawn out custody battles. Also since no legal divorce would be allowed, no longer will men be treated as money machines, paying unfairly half of their estate to a woman who really only married him for that money in the first place. Gold-diggers will be a thing of the past. Pre-nuptials will no longer be needed. It’s wonderful, really!
  • E. Immigration – The easiest way for an immigrant to gain citizenship in this country is to get married to an American. Typically, there is a lot of money involved, usually given to the legal citizen. And more often than not there is a divorce proceeding once the minimum period of time by law for that marriage is reached in order to retain citizenship or green card status. “The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” would make Americans think twice about unlawfully marrying for money or citizenship, as the commitment would be binding for the rest of their lives. This would also mean they were responsible for that aliens well being and medical expenses for ever and ever and ever. This might slow or even stop what is actually considered illegal immigration into this country; meaning that getting married solely for the act of obtaining citizenship, and not out of love, is a crime.
  • F. The courts – This bill will potentially eliminate thousands of alimony and divorce cases each and every year, and would clear the courts and give them more time for other important litigation, while saving taxpayers millions of dollars. Just think of all the pending murder, theft, and other important cases that would actually have a speedy trial granted by the courts, as is supposed to be afforded according to the U.S. Constitution. Courts are no place for children. Parents, no matter how overbearing and abusive should certainly have custody of their children no matter what the circumstances.
  • G. Married and single people (everyone) – Essentially, it would be hypocritical for anyone in this country to vote no on this bill. Marriage is a contract which should not be nullified or destroyed simply because two people disagree about a few things or a little blood is spilled. It is a binding contract, meaning two people are bound in love whether they like it or not. They signed a contract! It’s time we bring civics back into this country. Imagine what Mrs. Smith would think of her husband if Mr. Smith voted against this bill… Would that mean that he wants the option of divorce to be on the table? Would it mean he didn’t love her anymore, or planned not to in the future? Could he be thinking of reneging on his part of the contract? You see… there is just no need for a divorce option. The aforementioned four-month grace period would all but take care of any reluctant marriages that exist today. And single (unmarried) people certainly wouldn’t be getting married if they weren’t in love, knowing that divorce is not an option anymore. So divorce would obviously not be needed in the future either.

Who would rightfully oppose this bill?

  • A. Divorce Lawyers.
  • B. Non-U.S. Citizens without voting rights.
  • C. Gold-diggers.
  • D. Con artists.

And so in conclusion, the passing of “The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” would ensure marriage to be a life-long commitment as it was always meant to be. Monetarily, we’ve shown that the savings would be substantial to the government, the judicial system, and the taxpayers, while only displacing an extremely small minority in the law profession, with the possibility of hurting or canceling some daytime television court shows. The pros far outweigh any cons. Also, we believe that the happiness that mandatory contractual marriage would bring to spouses and their children is incalculable. Happiness by rule of law is surely preferable to the auto determination of individuals being allowed the choice or right to shatter the holy, binding contract of marriage for reasons unworthy of such a separation.

We hope that you will see it in your hearts to make this idea come to fruition, bringing on its tails the love and happiness associated with mandatorily binding marriage. To any who might oppose this bill, we can only assume that your deviance must be far too ingrained into your psyche to possibly be qualified for a state granted marriage license in the first place. We believe that makes you un-American, and that the no-fly and terrorist watch lists should include people like you. We believe that you are purposely looking for love in all the wrong places, and we will not stand for the types of malicious anti-marriage activities listed here: dating, kissing, hand-holding in public, scary movies and chick-flicks, singles bars, dance halls, internet chatting, hay rides, and just plain unlicensed lollygagging.

May we all find it in our hearts to be spouses and parents. Thank you for your support.

End The Fed Through Organized Graffiti


I was thinking… what is the best way to get the message out to ordinary uninformed people who will never otherwise be exposed to activism and the truth about the federal government and other things that affect everyone in this country? What is the best, most inexpensve advertising media we could use?
I came to only one conclusion…

Since our dollar is worthless paper anyway, what if we all write or get stamps that say something political on our money? If we each say something that will make people who spend these backed-by-nothing fiat currency notes think, maybe it would make them stop and realize what it is they are holding – IOU’s that have no real value unless they are agreed upon as payment for services or products between two people!

Since everyone in America uses these Monopoly Money – Federal Reserve Notes, everybody would be exposed to the reality of this debt cycle we are tyrannically living under. We could place website names exposing the Fed for what it is: an illegitimate, unconstitutional, mafia-like crime syndicate whose time for exposure and ratification has come.

I suppose we should do this before we are forced into a cashless society, eh?

Of course, since the federal government still exercises it’s illegitimate power over the supposed freedom of speech by Americans, we the people should only write or stamp on the perimeter area (white border) of these funny money notes, thus doing no harm to the illuminist artwork they paint these dollars with. If we all (all who know) do this small chore on the money we each use on a daily basis, eventually (statistically) that money will get around to someone who is open enough to investigate the truth. And eventually, it will be hard to spend money that hasn’t been labeled by us.

Repetition would only spark curiosity.

It would be like organized tagging – graffiti with a cause.

It doesn’t matter what you write or stamp, as long as it has to do with exposing the truth. If it is your own website which explains the truth and exposes corruption, and it gets more hits because of it – so be it. This is not for profit, but for exposure.

Here are some ideas for short but sweet things we could write or stamp on these bills:

(Disclaimer: These are all just ideas, and I of course would never condone such things.)

Don’t Rock The Vote – Boycott It!


The most detrimental psy-op (physiological operation) perpetrated on the American people is this:

  • that they only fight tyranny through peaceful means, and-
  • that they must fight within the constraints of the law – the very laws, in fact, that the tyrannical and corrupt ones we are fighting against legislate, and once passed, work completely outside of and unrestricted by the very laws they set into place.

The truth is that “calling and writing” your congress and senate is useless, as they are bought and paid for by the same elites who have already ruined this country, and assigned the real power of it over to the United Nations.

The reality is, all of your emails take up no space; only virtual space. And they are filed and discarded with the simple ease of the stroke of a key and the click of the mouse.

You must understand that, once elected, the president appoints elites who funded or are funded by other more powerful elites into positions of power. Chief of Staff, Secretaries of Defense, Treasury, Education, and State, Foreign Affairs Officials, Ambassadors, Judges, Tsars, and even the CEO of PBS! Hundreds of appointed officials. When you elect one man as president, you get instead a whole plethora of corrupt men and women who control the country. The few choices you see in elections are the puppets that the men with real power choose for you.

This is why people like me stopped calling, and for that matter voting for our supposedly elected officials (through electronic voting machines which have been proven to be easily hacked, and vote tallies changed easily) – who then appoint unelected elitists into power once they themselves are elected fraudulently.

This is why I cringe at activist groups who don’t understand that the only way to take back what is rightfully the peoples land and property must be by the same actions that it was won by in the first place. When you begin to understand this, then we may actually have a chance to overcome what can only be called true evil.

Now stop voting damn it!

And if you do vote, remember that you are the one that is legitimizing a corrupt system and keeping it in place through your foolish actions with a false sense of freedom and democracy, in what is, according to the Constitution, supposed to be a republic. And quit blaming the people who don’t vote for the problems of this country, for we didn’t cast an uneducated vote on a fraudulent ballot to usher in 4 more years of the same old crap by the best looking or most popular candidate! If you want to vote, go watch American Idol!

I am calling for a boycott of the voting system. This revolutionary form of dissent is the one and only thing that can make illegitimate the elitist agendas that these men in power are forcing upon us all. By voting for Obama or any other Democrats or Republicans (save a very minute select few), you are voting for everyone he puts into power as well, and everyone who funded his campaign – including the banks that received all of that bail-out money that is bankrupting for the third time in history this great country of ours, this time with no way out.

If everyone boycotted the elections and didn’t vote, it would frighten the ruling elite to the extreme. They would then either have to change their ways, or knowing that their time was coming to an end, get out while the getting is good. An elected official, who is brought into power by only 2% of the American people at the voting booth, would indeed have no justification to accept that political position with any modicum of honor, and his actions would be illegitimate in lieu of his lack of support. But if we keep voting for these crooks, they have that justification. And they will continue to strip away our rights and our Constitution, and pass horrendously tyrannical bills like the Patriot Act and the new Health Care Reform bill, which will kill half of our Bill of rights.

So, let me know when a sufficient number of you face reality and are ready to fight for your rights, instead of hiding behind phones, computer screens, and homemade signs in designated free-speech zones.

I once again leave you with historical quotes from past patriots, leaders, elected officials, appointed officials, and dictators:

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” – Joseph Stalin

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” – Lysander Spooner

Not as tyrants have we come, but as liberators.” – Adolph Hitler

We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” – Dick Cheney

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.” – Carroll Quigley

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” – Noam Chomsky

There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties.” – George Wallace – Governor of Alabama and 1968 Republican Presidential candidate

Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.” – Herbert Marcuse

Only fools mistake politicians for messiahs.” – Kevin Barrett

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.” – Gore Vidal

The governments of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which….pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.” – British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” – Voltaire

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” – Sinclair Lewis

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.” – Aristotle

No protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country.” – Alexis de Tocqueville

No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” – James Madison

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.” – Julius Caesar

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – H. L. Mencken

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.” – Adolph Hitler

Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” – Hermann Goerring

The easiest way to gain control of the population is to carry out acts of terror. The public will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened.” – Joseph Stalin

The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear and a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.” – Douglas MacArthur

Powerful dictatorships that make their leaders powerful need to stage wars to get ordinary people to march in lockstep like mindless Nazi robots. That is the road to Greatness.” – Michael Ledeen, Special Advisor to Reagan’s Secretary of State Alexander Haig

Paradoxically, preserving liberty may require the rule of a single leader—a dictator—willing to use those dreaded ‘extraordinary measures, which few know how, or are willing, to employ.’” – Michael Ledeen

We need a common enemy to unite us.” – Condoleezza Rice, 2000

We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” – David Rockefeller

It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event.” – General Tommy Franks 2003

The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaeda. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity…. The country behind this propaganda is the US.” – Robin Cook – Former British Foreign Secretary

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” – James Madison

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home.” – James Madison

A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.” – James Madison

There are now 17,000 local American police forces that are armed with rocket launchers, bazookas, heavy machine guns, all kinds of chemical sprays, in fact some of them have tanks. You now have local police departments that are equipped beyond the standard of American heavy infantry.” – Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during Reagan Administration

“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.” – FA Hayek

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Author Unknown

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other—instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.” – Edward Abbey

War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.” – Ron Paul

America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad. If we want to be worthy of their legacy, we must resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our society. Otherwise, our own government will become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist.” – Ron Paul

If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” – Gutle Schnaper, wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” – George Washington

Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbors those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.” – Dick Cheney

War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.” – Ron Paul

In Haig’s presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as ‘dumb, stupid animals to be used’ as pawns for foreign policy.” – Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein in their book The Final Days

I will begin to remove our troops from Iraq immediately.” – Barack Obama – Promise made during 2008 campaign speech

As far as President Obama – an old saying comes to mind of which I don’t know the coiner – “If you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig!
