Since the days of the Indus Valley, Babylonians and Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago, people have struggled to be free from control of the ruling classes. But those who rule have most always had the weapons and resources to keep the masses from exercising their God-given rights to live free.

The Sumerian priests (5th to the 3rd millennia BC) forced the people to bring their grain crops to the church. The priests then distributed the grain to whomever they decide to, on whatever their whim was at the time. Most often the farmers of the grain were not the first to receive the grain they grew.

Stalin starved as many as 7,500,000 Ukrainians by taking away their food by force of arms, in what became known as the Ukraine terror famine of 1930 to 1933. He isn’t the first leader to kill millions of his own people. Mao’s Great Leap Forward killed 45 million people in four years. Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China, qualifies as the greatest mass murderer in world history, said an expert who had unprecedented access to official Communist Party archives. Hitler’s toll of dead is much more than the 6 million Jews he killed in the death camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka.

This pressure by the masses to be free and the rise of world conquerors, has led to the most brutal and vicious wars in all of human history, until the Twentieth Century when brutality and savagery reached its peak with always growing weapons of mass destruction. The truth is, the birth and ultimate survival of freedom has always been written in blood.

We are going to cut to the chase in this article. America has reached a point where the usual means of seeking redress from government under the Constitution or the law, have become largely ineffective. To move America towards freedom by voting each election cycle, when over half the population can vote to maintain their lifestyle on the backs of the taxpayer, has become a virtual impossibility. To change our political system by the usual political processes, a system that has evolved into corruption, nepotism and crony capitalism, is a mirage that no one person or group can reach, no matter how hard they try. Those people who long to be free are stuck in the ever-deepening quicksand of government-sponsored collectivism, multi-culturalism, one-world-government, political correctness, corruption, socialist indoctrination and propaganda and outright lies.

For the last 4 to 5 decades, attempts by thousands of well-meaning patriot individuals and groups to organize and coordinate a peaceful force to counteract the rise of Progressivism and socialism, have fallen into the wastebasket of forgotten dreams. The more they try, the more ineffective they become. Their efforts are always short of funds and short of committed bodies. Most of them fade away after running out of money with barely enough to keep the lights on. We know a man that has been trying since 1998 to lead a national organization to confront government tyranny. His ideas were sound and workable but he’s now in his mid eighties and his efforts have been fruitless. To his endless frustration, very few were or are listening.

America is no longer a Constitutional Republic. It has become a loose Democracy, ruled by a mob of people who demand the government to support them and this mob can vote to maintain that support. So at the risk of being insolent, we are going to tell you how to save America, even though very few will listen, or even act on the information. Each of the ways we describe would take huge sums of money for the specific efforts and an army (well over 1,000,000 for two of those methods) of “dedicated” people, both being in very short supply in America today. Oh, the bodies are there, just not the dedication and the commitment to be free. Most Americans don’t even think there is a problem.

THE COURT METHOD:

The first way is to use the courts, even though the courts are corrupt. There are still enough teeth in the Constitution and the law that a concentrated legal effort would yield positive results. It can be done because the other side has been doing it for years. If you don’t believe us, just ask the legal firms representing the hundreds of environmental groups who have filed lawsuit after lawsuit against the government and not only have taken in a bank vault full of money from the taxpayer, but have actually changed the law in their favor, to the detriment of a whole range of the people’s constitutional rights. It seems that environmentally brainwashed people and well-healed capitalists will donate to environmental issues in the hundreds of millions of dollars, but very few will donate to those groups trying to defend and preserve freedom. Environmental issues have been drummed down the people’s throats for so long by an avalanche of never-ending, unprecedented propaganda, like man-caused global warming, the brainwashed masses bunch up like sheep when the environmentalists make the money call.

The other side (the enemy of a free America) is dedicated, committed, driven, well funded and the darling of most politicians, the media and academia. Our side is divided, fractured, fragmented, ineffective and perpetually broke. The other side wins all the time. Is it any wonder that our side keeps losing?

However, if all the millions of people who talk about or even write about freedom and long for its return, would donate just $10.00 per month to an organization whose soul purpose was to challenge every law that is unconstitutional, the return to freedom could happen in as little as a decade. Sadly, so many in the legal profession that would lead this charge, are in the camp of the enemy. But lawyers are like prostitutes. Give them enough money and they will sue their own mothers.

Unfortunately, there is no large organization in which to funnel money to make the Court Method work, much less the millions of Americans who would donate $10.00 per month to the effort.

THE MILITIA METHOD:

The second way involves a well-regulated militia, a way that is written in the document that gave birth to American freedom, the Declaration of Independence and codified into law in the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. Note that in the Second Amendment, the term “being necessary to the security of a free State.” This phrase in the 2nd Amendment was not an accident. Its inclusion was based on the concept that only the people can assure that a government does not evolve into tyranny and can rise up, in violence, to stop it. But if the states or the federal government control the Militia, how then is a Militia able to protect the “security of a free state?” That security must be left to a national Militia, organized outside of state or federal control.

The original idea of the militia was an armed force of civilian men to preserve freedom and take on our foreign enemies. A well-led, well-funded, well-armed and well-trained militia of dedicated and mature men with an army of about 300,000 strong, could restore most of America’s freedoms in as little as a year. We have provided the details of the MILITIA METHOD on our website, together with a list of constitutional demands that are an integral part of this method.

Whether this method is implemented or not, it will eventually come to a head when the U. S. Military, or the National Guard are forced to confront a growing and heavily armed, organized militia presence in America. The militia is there, it just isn’t organized on a national scale.

But there are no strong leaders to lead a national militia of this size right now and there is no money to fund the militia’s efforts.

THE DECLARATION OF OPEN RESISTANCE METHOD:

The “Open Resistance” Method would probably yield the best results for the least amount of money and is doable from a funding standpoint and from the available number of bodies who would take a stand to declare open, peaceful resistance against government. We explained that method in our last two articles but the response to those articles was almost non-existent. There were three responses out of the thousands who read those articles.

So you see ladies and gentlemen, as it stands right now, there is no viable solution to saving America by those who claim they want to be free from government tyranny. There are no leaders, there is no money and there is no organization large enough, nor is there the will of a sufficient number of people. The organizations that do exist who purport to want to save America, are too little, too late and essentially impotent. The other side has all the votes and our side is a distinct minority with no direction, no leadership, no organization and no money. Anyone who believes that Trump can save America, even though he may try, is living in Alice in Wonderland, that is if he can even be elected president.

Perhaps Americans will just wait until they are all under the “gun” and in chains, where there is no chance for freedom and the only solution is revolution. Would Americans want to live like the people of Venezuela, or any number of Central and South American countries, because, make no mistake, that is where America is headed?

The people just don’t seem to want to “Really, Really, Really Save America” from the ravages of Progressivism, Socialism, radical environmentalism, or one-world government. They are either too afraid of government, or they like things just the way they are, or they are apathetic, or they don’t want to rock the boat, or they just plain don’t care. Those same people may want to talk and write about freedom but they don’t want to put up any money and they don’t want to get their hands dirty on a large enough scale.

You can’t fight an enemy with no leadership, no men, no weapons and no money. You might just as well run and hide and that’s what most Americans are doing right now. They talk a big game, but they don’t have the will or the courage to fight. Evidently, government tyranny isn’t quite bad enough yet but it will get bad enough. What will the people do then when they are under the “gun” or in chains, or both? Will they fight, or will they, like cattle, just put their hands up and get in the railroad cars?

After eleven years of writing a weekly column and trying to encourage people to get involved in saving their country, the question always lingers in the back of our minds. If no one is going to do anything, why then should we write articles hoping they will? Isn’t that Einstein’s definition of insanity? We have the energy, the commitment, the experience, the knowledge and the courage to lead, but what’s the point if there is no one who will join us?

Yes, America is a nation of heroes and Captain Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is one of our brave Americans pressed into service when radical Islamic pirates threatened his ship and the ship’s crew off the coast of Somalia. And yes, his heroism was punctuated by the highly trained heroes on board the USS Bainbridge who in an instant took advantage of a split-second opportunity and killed 3 of the pirates on board the little lifeboat. They captured the 4th. Let us not forget the courageous crew of the Maersk Alabama whose bravery thwarted a full takeover of the ship by the pirates. A happy ending to an all-too-often event that is dismally short of happy endings.

Yes, we are a nation of heroes and all American citizens are being called on today to be heroes once more, at time when a radical ideology is working diligently towards the ultimate destruction of the good ship America, her freedom and her way of life, a nation that has been the beacon of hope around the world for well over 200 years.

But will good Americans wait until it is too late to become heroes in order to save the USS America from sinking into the briny deep of abject socialism, or worse, fascism? Even though our domestic enemy is but an ideology, (Progressivism) our current situation is no less dire than the one that Captain Phillips faced on the little lifeboat. What is even more disturbing, this domestic enemy known as Progressivism has been knocking on freedom’s door for no less than 100 years and they have broken the door down and infected the people with their desease. But we don’t have the highly trained heroes of our proud U. S. Navy to take down our domestic enemy when a split-second opportunity presents itself. We will only have the courage, commitment and determination of tens of millions of proud, free and brave American individuals, working side by side, to thwart this enemy, this false idea of international socialism that threatens our liberty and our very sovereignty.

Each American must ask him or her self, would he or she offer them selves up as a captive to the enemy in order to save other Americans (his crew), as Captain Phillips did? Would we do as he did in the face of certain death, jump overboard? Would we, when called upon, pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor as did the Founding Fathers, who but almost to a man, lost all three to deliver unto all Americans, our cherished gift of freedom and liberty?

After the timid, almost non-existent response to our last article “An Open Letter to Patriots, Freedom Fighters and the Militia”, we ‘re not sure. Sadly, only those who appreciate where we are as a country and as a people get it. The rest will eventually end up like the Germans and the Soviets in the 20th Century if we let it happen. The one response we did receive was from someone who knows first hand what happens to the people in a government that is born in, or morphs into socialism, communism, or fascism. In his own words he expressed the experiences he and his immediate relatives endured in one Soviet Block nation.

“Again you have written a great, great piece. It is to the point, factual and extremely emotional for the people that understand. I know what it is to live under a totalitarian communist government, thankfully not from direct experience but rather from my wife and her parents. My wife was born in one of those Soviet Block nations and her mother is Russian. Her mother was high up in the communist party during the USSR. I have had long conversations with them regarding life at that time. The only ones who had anything were the high government officials. You had to wait in line for an apartment sometimes for 5 to 10 years—and only then you would have to live where the government wanted and in an apartment of the size the government dictated.”

“I have lived in the vestiges of the USSR and I can tell you that there are so many little things that Americans take for granted, things that severely lower your standard of living that most people do not comprehend unless they were taken away. Simple things like having the government control the heat or water supply to your apartment. It doesn’t matter if you are cold or thirsty, when the government decides to turn it off it is you who suffers. I have had to walk up and down 9 floors to get food and have watched mothers carrying their children up and down 9 stories and elderly grandmothers walking up with heavy packages. My wife owns one apartment where the elevator has been broken down for 3 years.”

“I cannot believe that Americans really want that kind of life. The only thing I can surmise is that they do not understand the consequences, or they do not believe it can happen in America. They are wrong of course.”

“Your ‘open letter’ is so right on and I cannot express it strongly enough. Unfortunately I think that America will need to experience some dramatic and visible consequences before they understand the potential danger.”

Will Americans wait until the roof caves in and become like the people of 20th-Century Germany, or present-day Russia, or China and many other third-world nations living under socialism, fascism, or a dictatorship?

Yes, we are a nation of heroes and it is almost two and one-half generations of heroes that have freed over a billion people from slavery, that whose creativity, industriousness and productivity have raised many nations out of the clutches of poverty and whose generosity is unequalled by any other country on Earth. We are a nation of hope for the entire world. We have given a good portion of the world the knowledge, technology and resources so that many smaller nations may join us under the umbrella of freedom and prosperity.

But at any time in our 240-year history, we are being called upon as never before, to be the hero that Captain Phillips was in the days of his ordeal. We are being called upon to save our freedom, our liberty and our sovereignty. The answer to that freedom does not rest with any one president. It rests entirely with the people, at any time and all the time. Should we not answer the call very soon, the good ship America will be lost at sea with all hands and the entire world will be the worse for it.

Yes, we are a nation of heroes and our courage and our sacrifice are needed now. Will you answer the call? We’re hoping that a Nation of Heroes will not let America down and future generations will be able to live under freedom, preserved by the courage of the ever-vigilant patriot, freedom fighter and the Militia.

Today, there are thousands of splinter groups fighting to preserve freedom in America. But their efforts are too small and fragmented. They have no hope of victory. Only the power of millions of united Americans of one mind, acting together at one time, will save American freedom. If one million Americans under our 18 Principles of Freedom took the time and effort, in unison, to exert their force on one of America’s problems, the problem would begin to evaporate virtually overnight. If one million Americans donated just $10.00 per month to a powerful organization that would confront government by education, legal challenges and political influence, American would begin to heal in less than a decade.

If one million Americans declared their open, peaceful, united resistance against one specific egregious, or unconstitutional government action, government would be forced to retreat. We know. We have seen it in action on a smaller, local level.

As we stated emphatically in our last article: Three groups of Americans, the silent patriot, the freedom fighter and the Militia must coalesce into a peaceful fighting force to blunt Progressivism and stop America from repeating history. That peaceful fighting force must forge a “Culture of Peaceful Resistance in America” that has never been seen before. We call on these three groups to join us in this effort. We have planted the seeds of that “Culture of Peaceful Resistance” with our new website “STUSA” is an abbreviation for: “Save The USA.” We do not intend to go quietly into the night. Hopefully, we will not have to stand alone in those efforts. After the lack of response to our last article, we are still standing alone. But martyrdom is for fools and we do not intend to become martyrs! Without significant support, eventually, we will just fade away.

Captain Phillips did not have to become a martyr. It was the combined efforts of many American heroes that saved him and his crew. They did not wait for the roof to cave in. They acted instantly in the face of danger with courage and commitment. It remains to be seen whether millions of Americans will act in the face of a domestic danger with the same courage and commitment. We cannot vanquish our foreign enemies if we can’t tame and render impotent, our domestic enemies.

“Progressivism makes strong people weak and weak people even weaker. It robs them of their pride, dignity, self-respect and their motivation to achieve something greater than the image they see in the mirror. It teaches them that dependency is OK and self-reliance and independence isn’t necessary. Progressives are predatory and prey upon the weakest among us. Progressivism was never about compassion, it was and is always about votes and power.” —Ron Ewart

5,000 years of human history have proven that free republics have a lifespan of a little over 200 years before they start eating themselves and morph into socialism or fascism. It’s three minutes after 11 PM and there are only 57 minutes on our 12-hour clock to save America from the fate of all other free republics. By the year 2040 nothing will remain of the Founders dream of liberty for all men under a Constitutional Republic, if America continues on its current path.

Sadly, the majority of Americans like it just the way it is, or don’t care one way or the other. This majority has the majority of the votes so they will do nothing to change the status quo. It is left to a minority of Americans to convince the majority that their days of free living off the sweat, blood and tears of productive Americans will eventually come to an end, either by running out of money, or outright civil war.

This minority is composed of three groups of Americans, the silent patriot, the freedom fighter and the militia, as depicted in the following image.

The silent patriot is fully aware of the degradation of freedom, but doesn’t have a solution, or is afraid to act. The freedom fighter is on the peaceful front lines trying to slow down that degradation. The Militia anxiously waits in the shadows, locked, loaded and training for when they may be needed. These three groups are the only ones that can SAVE THE USA from freedom-robbing Progressivism. They can’t do it with their votes, so there has to be another way and there is. What we do know is that one man or woman can’t save America. Only millions of united Americans can save America, even if they are in the minority.

Sure, we know, the world elite (ruling class) is controlling the global money supply and the world economy and trying to drive us all into a new world order against our will.

That’s right, the American government, at all levels, is trying to shove United Nations social justice, radical environmental protection and “climate change” down our throats.

And everyone knows that illegal immigration is out of control, our borders remain porous and the problem remains intractable, even though workable solutions are starring us in the face, like enforcing current law.

The politicians are incapable of getting a handle on government spending and the end result can only be bankruptcy and total financial collapse.

Government has crafted a tax code that is fitting for a dictatorship. It is designed to intimidate and entrap the taxpayer, as well as enslave him. A foreign enemy couldn’t have devised a more diabolical plot to subjugate the people.

The feds, states and local governments are brainwashing our kids with collectivism, environmentalism, multi-culturalism, political correctness and a whole bunch of other “isms” at which we can only guess. They are purposely trying to produce obedient robots, not clear thinking individuals with dreams of liberty and achievement in their heads.

It is undeniable that government is doing everything in its power to take over our money, our land, our energy, our food, our water and our health care and they are trashing the foundation of our liberty, the U. S. Constitution. Our courts have become hopelessly corrupt.

Our foreign policy is an international embarrassment and we have entered into police actions with smaller countries (better known as war) that either we shouldn’t have been there in the first place, or engaged in a losing strategy. We appease our enemies instead of showing them that we mean business and we will protect our interests and our citizens with every option at our disposal.

And let’s not forget that a radical element of Islam is doing everything within its power, both inside and outside of the United States, to destroy Western civilization and America’s way of life, a radical element so brutal that it uses stealth, trickery, propaganda, lies, savagery and the fear of death and murder itself, to intimidate all who will not convert to Islam. This radical element is not a small group. It could represent as many as 120,000,000 martyrs and homicide bombers throughout the world. This is a formidable enemy that wears no uniform or the colors of any country. If peaceful Muslims don’t want their religion sullied, profiled and dragged through the mud, they had better start cleaning up their own mess, or all Muslims will be tarnished for generations by the radical beliefs and violent actions of those 120,000,000.

So ladies and gentlemen, are all of these problems that we can’t seem to solve right now, a reason to give up? Are we to run and hide when obstacles lie in our path to freedom?

Think about it! America has lived through and survived a revolution from which our freedom was born and a civil war that nearly tore us apart. We have taken on the world in two devastating World Wars. We rebuilt Germany and Japan after those wars that cost American taxpayers billions. Our military might and the exceptional bravery of our well-trained men and women in uniform, have freed over 1 billion people from slavery and brutality. We are the saviors of the world in natural disasters. We are the consumers of the world’s goods, providing jobs and thriving economies in smaller and even larger countries. Our technology and medical discoveries have not only improved our own lot and our lifestyle, but they have saved and improved millions of lives around the globe. American inventors and entrepreneurs have created wealth and living standards unmatched anywhere in the world. We have sent men to the moon and the “eyes” of our scientific probes explore the Solar System.

And finally, there are no people on earth that are more generous than are Americans. We have much to be proud of and thankful for and we need not apologize to anyone, any person, any country, any flag, any religion, or any mealy-mouthed president.

However, through our inattention to what our government was doing for the last 100 years we have allowed the national and local problems to magnify to the point where they appear to be unsolvable.

But just because the task seems insurmountable, is our answer to quit and throw in the towel? Are we but pawns that we would allow others to pull our strings and do their bidding? Do we back down from bullies? Are we so cowardly that we would turn tail and retreat in the face of danger? Are our lives so comfortable that we fear a fight when a fight is our only alternative if freedom is to be preserved?

But we don’t have to get bloody to win this fight! The tools and weapons of freedom are ours to use that is if we have the courage to use them. We have the constitution and the law at our disposal. We have the mindset of freedom in millions of Americans that we can call on when needed.

Sure government and special interests have bastardized it, but our Constitution is still strong and it still has the power to prevail over those who would take away our liberties. We also have the American spirit, determination and perseverance in the very fiber of our souls, which we can enlist in our peaceful armies of freedom.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have allowed our government to divide us. We now fight with each other instead of focusing our attention on the perpetrators of our weakening condition. Government, in both political parties, has bought off millions of Americans with promises from the federal treasury ….. for their votes. Government continues to pass regulations that strangle the very fabric of our existence, our commerce, our economy, our growth, our wealth and our generosity.

The government engages in racketeering with national and international banks and Wall Street to further their control over our daily lives and to implement the one world order, as well as to enrich them selves in the process. They consort with our enemies and make backroom deals with the moneychangers and the power brokers that undermine American sovereignty and our freedom. International influences have infiltrated all levels of our government and they implement international law in such a way that it takes priority over American law. We have some U. S. Supreme Court Justices that believe they should consult the laws and constitutions of foreign countries when they adjudicate American law and legislation.

Sure, we can sit back and let the puppeteers pull the strings. We can watch as our freedom morphs into socialism. We can do nothing while our sovereignty is merged into a world government, run by those that control the money and the political power. We can even capitulate to the evils of a mob democracy where we are forced to abide by mob rule.

But if we do, all of the sacrifices of those that laid down their lives and gave their full measure of patriotism to their country for freedom will have been for naught. If we do, our children and grandchildren will be condemned to servitude to a planet oligarchy where those that oversee the money and the power will be an elevated ruling class and those outside of the money and power will be but puppets that feed the ruling class with their sweat and their labor, slavery by any other name. If we give up, our great experiment with freedom will have died and its death will have been totally preventable.

The ruling class doesn’t need a whip to make you bow down, they will only have to cut off your money, your energy, your food, your water and your health care that they now control. That is why the government passes laws to move rural Americans into big cities where they are easier to control. That is exactly what the Romanian dictator Nicolea Ceausescu did when he came to power in Romania. At gunpoint he moved all rural residents into big cities where he could control them. Nicolea and his brutal wife were caught and executed by insurgent army units in the 1989 Romanian Revolution. Could that be what Americans will be forced to do, as government moves us into high-dense urban cities where they can more easily control us?

If you don’t believe what we say is true, read about what Stalin did to the people of the Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 where 14 million people died of starvation. Their blood is on Stalin’s hands but it is also on the hands of the people who would not fight back. You say it can’t happen in America and yet we know that history continues to repeat itself with confounding regularity?

For God’s sake people, we are Americans! We bow down to no man or government. We are sovereign individuals of the universe and our rights come from our creator. Those rights are not the purview of government who can give or take away rights as they please.

We leave you with this statement of truth: “Winning is the key to empowerment and the confidence to forge ahead!” Let’s start a “Culture of Peaceful Resistance” that sweeps across the land like a wind-driven grass fire, by winning some small skirmishes at the local level and then move on to winning skirmishes at the state level, so that we have the confidence and power to take on Washington DC at the federal level.

Our three groups of Americans, the silent patriot, the freedom fighter and the Militia must coalesce into a peaceful fighting force to blunt Progressivism and stop America from repeating history. That peaceful fighting force must forge a “Culture of Peaceful Resistance in America” that has never been seen before. We call on these three groups to join us in this effort. We will plant the seeds of that “Culture of Peaceful Resistance” with our new website. “STUSA” is an abbreviation for: “Save The USA.” This effort will be in addition to our work under the “National Association of Rural Landowners.” We do not intend to go quietly into the night with our tale between our legs. Hopefully, we will not have to stand alone in those efforts. Martyrdom is for fools!

In the summer of 2014, Obama’s Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), started shipping tens of thousands of Mexican and Central American minor children in busloads into communities all over the U. S. On July 3, 2014, Murrieta, a little town in California, got wind of the impending hordes being dumped on their town and formed a blockade to stop the buses. The buses were forced to turn around and travel to processing centers in San Diego and El Centro. The town’s people were successful in stopping the “dump” of illegal aliens on their town and probably saved their city budget several million dollars. But other cities and towns across America were and are not so fortunate.

In January 2016, a meat processing plant in Kansas was forced to fire almost 200 Muslims over prayer issues. The Muslims wanted five breaks a day to pray. That request, or demand, was incompatible with the plant’s production schedule. Now the Muslims have no job and will quickly get on the welfare rolls, if they weren’t already.

Somali enclaves in Minnesota are sending some of their young men to fight with ISIS. Because they had somehow become American citizens, they had American passports, allowing them to come back into America without a visa or further screening. ISIS has now metastasized itself in America to conduct terrorist acts on innocent American citizens. And Somalis aren’t the only American Muslims going to Syria to fight and train with ISIS. On top of ISIS followers, some American Muslims are being radicalized right here in America, as we found out the hard way in San Bernardino and Orlando.

Some Muslim families in America are still practicing honor killings (Islam-sanctioned murder) and female mutilation, even though it is unlawful in the U. S.

Millions of illegal Mexicans, along with Central and South Americans are in America illegally. They do not speak English, they don’t try to learn English, they don’t try to assimilate into the American culture, they hide in the shadows and they suck up billions of taxpayer dollars in education, interpreters, housing, transportation, welfare, rent, medical care, child tax credits and earned income tax credits. Some say they are even getting free cell phones on your dime.

Announced Tuesday, August 30th, the Obama Administration has been and is dumping bus and plane loads of Syrian Muslim refugees in more towns and cities in America. According to the New York Times map, most of the Syrian refugees were settled east of the Mississippi River. It appears the lion’s share went into Illinois, Michigan, New York and the Northeastern States. More were re-settled in the big cities of Washington State, Oregon, California and Arizona.

But let’s take a look at the makeup of the tens of million refugees and illegal aliens in America today. Most come from very poor, impoverished, socialist, or dictator-run countries. They are poorly educated, lacking in basic hygiene, highly communicable diseases are more prevalent in the population, they have a socialist mindset built in from childhood and they were hopelessly dependent on their home governments, if their home governments had any money to redistribute. They are used to getting handouts from government.

But like all humans, the refugees and illegal aliens really long to be in their native countries but come here because America is so “rich” and offers so many “free” things. Most of the illegal immigrants and refugees from Central and South America are Catholic Christians. Muslims immigrants and refugees, on the other hand, are diabolically opposed to and intolerant of Christianity in any form, or any other religion for that matter.

Since the religious foundation of America is almost wholly Judeo-Christian, any hope of assimilation by Muslims is a pipe dream at best and a pending disaster at worst. It is in fact an unfixable multi-cultural mismatch that will doom Europe and probably America if allowed to continue.

The following statistics are not meant to be racist, but only observations of the facts.

White immigrants from Europe settled in America and made America what it was, but no longer is. They came to America with a strong work ethic, ambition and the drive to succeed in a free land. America became exceptional because of that work ethic, ambition and the drive to succeed in a free land. They also came from with a predominantly Judeo-Christian heritage. There were no government handouts in the early days of mass immigration to America. Immigrants failed or succeeded on their own which made them stronger and more self-reliant.

The White race has been the dominant race in America but that dominance is slowly slipping away on the shaky foundation of multi-culturalism, forced on America by Progressives.

Due to the slave trade the black population had risen to 9% of the total population by 1790. Most of the black population resided in the southern part of the U. S. until after the Civil War, when there was a great migration into the North.

Until the latter part of the Twentieth Century, there were very few Hispanics and Asians. By 2010, according to the Census Bureau, Non-Hispanic Whites were at 63.7%, Blacks at 12.6%, Hispanics at 16.3% and Asians were at 4.9%. The percentage of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Muslims continue to grow while the White population continues to shrink.

A very large percentage of inner city Blacks, since the Civil War, have been wards of government in one form or another and absorb a huge portion of the welfare pie, even though they only represent 12.6% of the population. They have the most out-of-wedlock babies (70%). They will continue to vote in a block for those politicians (Democrats) that allow them to continue to be wards of government. That is not true of all Blacks however. Some Blacks have escaped the cultural depravity and the cycle of poverty and have become educated and contributing members of society.

Hispanics, especially illegal immigrants, tend to take low-end jobs that don’t provide enough income to subsist and therefore are forced to find additional subsistence through government handouts. Because of that dependency, they too tend to vote as a block for Democrats, even if they are not U. S. citizens. The City of Seattle, a sanctuary city, was floating a proposal to let illegal aliens vote. Fortunately, the proposal was defeated. The courts would have shot it down anyway.

Muslim refugees from Middle Eastern countries come here with essentially nothing and become wards of the government and the taxpayer upon entry. Since most of them come from socialist or dictator-run countries, they would vote Democrat as well, once becoming American citizens.

Obviously, there are exceptions to the foregoing generalities.

But that is not the rest of the story. The White population in America is not reproducing at an effective rate to maintain their majority and by 2050 the White race will be in the minority. However, the Black and Hispanic populations are reproducing at a rate greater than what is required to maintain their populations. But what is even more alarming is that Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet and will outnumber the Christian population by the end of the Twenty First Century. Given that, between 5 to 10% of Islam is radicalized, this growing number of Muslims becomes of even greater concern to American security.

Since Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Muslims will eventually become the predominant races in America, the chances of America remaining a Constitutional Republic are slim to none. America will become a mob Democracy at best. The dreams of our Forefathers will be dashed on the rocky shores of multi-culturalism.

The let-’em-all-in, open-border crowd, mostly Democrats, have doomed a free America to the slow death of freedom into socialism and the potential of being conquered by a stronger power, like China or Russia. Europe could also succumb to a super power as its culture is decimated and has become culturally, morally and militarily weak by socialism, multi-culturalism and the Muslim hordes that have invaded Europe from Syria and Northern Africa.

A large majority of the American population has become weak and morally bankrupt. They don’t care about what government is doing. Way too many only care about 24/7-entertainment and the indulgence in pleasures of the flesh that can only be satisfied by money, drugs, alcohol and unrestrained sex. Our military readiness is in serious question, our economics are sinking into a bed of quick sand made up of endless grains of debt and we are so divided that coming together on the principles of freedom, or anything else for that matter, are slim to none.

But it doesn’t take a crystal ball to read the future. It only takes assessing historical trends and accurate data to project where America will be in a decade, a generation, or a century. In fact, predicting the future of a culture or a nation is much easier than predicting the climate. And changes in the climate, warming or cooling, will be the least of our troubles when compared to what happens to America as it slowly loses its heritage, its honor, its integrity, its honesty and its freedom to the scourge of multi-culturalism and rapidly growing government dependency.

Can we stop the inexorable slide towards socialism, the one-world-order, the damage done to a nation by the merging of irreconcilable cultures and the degradation of the principles upon which that nation was founded? Maybe! But that will only come about by a well-funded organization, run by charismatic leaders and millions of Americans determined, AT ANY COST, to preserve a nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”, under a Constitution which is judicially protected and defended as the “Supreme Law of the Land.”

Unfortunately, that Supreme Law has been so badly degraded that it has now become unrecognizable. That degradation was brought about by a certain party more interested in maintaining perpetual political power, than preserving the principles of freedom. Most of the population doesn’t know or understand the document or the importance of its words to freedom and liberty. Those in the population that are dependent on government and hopelessly loyal to that one party don’t care what is in the document containing the Supreme Law. That party’s ideology is now so imbedded in our institutions that to purge it from those institutions will be a gut wrenching, mind-numbing, violent event, if it is even possible.

What freedom-loving Americans fail to recognize is that we are at war with that one party’s ideology that has bankrupted America and robbed it of its freedom. The roots of the bankruptcy started over 100 years ago in 1913 when government devised a way to enslave the entire population under the guise of irrational compassion ….. in exchange for votes. They then invented a Gestapo-like collection agency called the Internal Revenue Service, to pay for the irrational compassion.

Sadly, when you are at war, constitutions or votes don’t have the power to stop the war. Only an overwhelming brute force can win a war and make the other side capitulate to that force. If history is any guide to the eventual outcome, we’re not holding our breath that such an overwhelming force can be assembled.

None of this is new and we are just regurgitating what wise men have known for decades, if not millennia. Albert J. Nook wrote a book in 1935 (81 years ago) entitled “Our Enemy, The State”. Our readers would be well advised to read at least the first Chapter of his book, to get a perspective at a time before Progressivism was fully institutionalized as it is today. We wrote a similar article in March of 2013 entitled “Why Government Is Your Enemy” where we say “You are only good for government if you can produce income upon which you pay taxes, so that government can redistribute your taxes to those who pay no taxes ….. for votes.”

Unfortunately, books or articles don’t have the power to alter a nation’s course. Only the people have that power. If the people won’t exercise that power, then what they are likely to get is a “third-world garbage dump.”

If you AGREE, let us know.

Let’s start out with some simple, undeniable truths:

1. Only the profits from private enterprise create income, which can be taxed by government.

2. Government can only create jobs, or pay for social services, using the money from the taxes on private income. Government does not create money. It is a net absorber of money, even if it prints it. Government only creates debt. Government-issued currency is evidence of that debt.

3. Government over-regulation inhibits, or in some cases, prohibits the creation of jobs, start-up businesses, or the expansion of businesses. With too much regulation there is less capitalism and thus less private income to tax and decreasing jobs, forcing government to print what it needs to pay for the irrational promises it has made ….. for votes.

4. If government takes too much in taxes on private income, capital becomes less and less available to create private jobs, or create new businesses, or expand existing ones.

5. If there is not enough capital in the markets for new business creation or expansion because government is taking too much of the capital for social services, coupled with massive government inefficiency, waste, fraud, abuse and corruption, freedom cannot survive and socialism takes its place.

6. History proves that eventually, this expanding socialist system runs out of private capital and it collapses into fascism, or an absolute socialist oligarchy, or a dictatorship, where the people become nothing but slaves to an almighty government. That’s what most of the nations in Europe have become today.

7. Democratic Progressivism is a direct path to national bankruptcy and irreversible socialism.

8. Freedom dies when there are more people in the wagon than there are pulling the wagon. The people pulling the wagon are indentured servants to the people in the wagon by the force of government, at the point of a gun.

The next graph explains it all. [Link]

In approximately 55 years, the national debt went from somewhere near $1 Trillion to $19 Trillion, or a 1900% increase. In 2008, after two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and before Obama took office, the national debt was 76% of America’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). But wars always create debt. However, by 2015, under Obama, a Democrat, the national debt shot up to over 104% of GDP. On its current path with an anemic GDP growth rate of less than 2%, the national debt will increase to 136% of GDP in 10 years, a financial death spiral, created by mostly Democrats and over 100 years of Progressivism.

Even after World War 2 was over, the national debt to GDP was a little over 100% but was whittled down to around 30% by 1975. That decrease in the national debt was due to a robust manufacturing base during that period. There were lots of private sector jobs and the real unemployment rate hovered around 5%. Women who were in the war-time work force, came home and raised their children to be productive and honorable Americans. Returning war veterans were able to fill the millions of manufacturing jobs. America was a manufacturing powerhouse for the rest of the world.

But then Congress ratified and Bill Clinton signed into law, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1992, which started the steady decline of manufacturing jobs in America. Without a significant manufacturing base, the national debt could not be decreased and by 2015, under Obama, a Democrat, the national debt breached $19,000,000,000,000 (that’s Trillion), headed for $33,000,000,000,000 by 2026, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). [see: Link]

Combined with the loss of manufacturing jobs came an explosion in social benefits, especially under Obama, a Democrat, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, euphemistically known as Obama Care. Obama Care is set to implode as more and more private insurance carriers abandon the program, which will rapidly accelerate the national debt, if something isn’t done to stop it.

As the jobs decreased and welfare benefits increased, government kept taking a larger and larger share of available capital from the profits of private industry for expanding social services. This government TAKING has been going on and accelerating since FDR created a massive increase in social welfare programs and subsidies, both personal and business. President Johnson exacerbated the TAKINGS with his Great Society. Obama and the Democrats further threatened America’s financial security with the passage of Obama Care. This is an inescapable path to national bankruptcy, socialism, or even fascism, brought on by Progressive policies based on buying votes to stay in power, under the guise of compassion.

As we have stated many times in past articles, there are now more people in the wagon than are pulling the wagon. Eventually, there became less and less capital available for new business starts, job increases and business expansion. The GDP slowed to less than 2% in 2016 and even though the unemployment rate allegedly decreased, most of the new jobs are on the low end of the pay scale.

On top of an exponential increase in social spending, came the inevitable increase in regulations, a natural outcome of a Democrat-driven, Progressive ideology. In spite of the picture they paint, Progressives abhor freedom. On the other hand Progressives love dependency (for votes) and control of the masses through ever-increasing social and environmental regulations.

Added to massive federal laws and rules from unaccountable bureaucracies, are the local and state laws and rules. There are literally millions of laws on the federal, state and local law books. Many of those laws are in direct conflict with each other, creating confusion and unequal application throughout the entire court system, assigned to enforce and prescribe punishment for violations of the laws and rules.

Laws and rules are meant to inhibit or prohibit human behavior, coupled with punishments for violations. However, every time legislators or bureaucrats write a new law, no matter at what level of government, they immediately trigger three very costly events: 1) Increase government employment to analyze, research and study not only the science to justify a new law, but to monitor the effects of the law; 2) Increase government employment to administer or defend the law; and 3) Increase government employment to enforce the law. Since new legislative bills are drafted by staff, with influence from special interests, the legislators seldom read the laws they pass. Therefore, each new law adds to government employment and government continuously grows, exponentially while sucking more dollars out of the private economy.

By just sheer numbers, the more laws that are written, the less likely the entire population will even know about the laws, or understand them, or know of their consequences or penalties for violation, much less be in compliance with them. The consequence of too many laws is that huge segments of the public are totally unaware of their existence. And yet, under the law, ignorance of the law is not a defense. Then, when the hapless individual comes face-to-face with the law, it results in anger and frustration for that individual and a spiraling degradation of freedom and liberty for all of us.

Many laws are written at the insistence of lobbying or special interest groups with very narrow and purposely hidden agendas. The public never has an opportunity for real input and society as a whole is not benefited. Partisan politics often compromises a new law into meaningless, often conflicting legislation, leaving loopholes over which lawyers can argue over for decades. Just ask the environmentalists. They have made an entire multi-million dollar industry out of suing government over government’s environmental laws.

But businesses must deal with tens of thousands of those laws and rules on a daily basis or face huge fines and penalties, or having their business shut down for persistent violations. Businesses create jobs. Individuals, especially poor ones, don’t. Thus, businesses are forced to deal with all the laws and rules and that burden comes at a huge price in lost profits, time and production. Those losses end up being added to the value of their product or services.

Many small businesses operate in the blind to the laws and rules until they get caught, when in fact there is no way they could possibly know of, or how to even comply with all the laws and rules, including the Internal Revenue Code. We acknowledge that some laws and rules are necessary, but there comes a point where too many laws and rules inhibit or stop businesses from starting up, or creating jobs, or expanding their business.

Sadly, this short course in economics, capital, regulations and freedom will reach only an infinitesimally small segment of the population. Those that do read the information are probably already aware of it. The over 60% of the population that should read it, will never see it and therefore will not know that what they are receiving from government in handouts and subsidies has an end to it. The end is when Democrat Progressive Socialism runs out of other people’s money to redistribute to the over 60% receiving it. When that happens is determined by politicians who are still bent on buying votes with a very limited supply of money and how rapidly they accelerate the draw down of that limited supply. With Democrats in control, the end will come much sooner, but the end will come nevertheless because America has gone past the point of no return.

Anyone who believes that somehow we can slow down this death train America is on, is delusional. Anyone who believes we can just continue spending money into oblivion and printing more money to make up the losses is living in the Land of Oz. There is always a day of reckoning to reckless behavior.

But long before the death train crashes, the revolution will begin. Too many Americans will not go quietly into the night without putting up a fight, a fight the outcome of which is impossible to predict. Americans are not docile Europeans who bend to the whip of the establishment order of the ruling class. There are millions of Americans who still believe in American freedom and are willing to pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in defense of that freedom. We’re not there yet, but it’s coming.

As further evidence of this outcome, we offer:

• “Millions of Americans Are Just Itching To Lock and Load”
• “Just How Are You Going To Unravel This Banana Republic?”
• “What is the Threshold At Which Americans Will Revolt?”
• “Just How Are You Going To Reverse Engineer History?”
• “Just How Are You Going To Overcome the Freeloader’s Vote?”

But don’t wait for the revolution. Start fighting back now. We have provided some of the tools to defend your self against all levels of government abuse and harassment, HERE. Either resist and fight back or become government’s slave.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” — John F. Kennedy

Put two people in a room and disagreement, at times, is a virtual certainty. Put 320,000,000 people in a nation and disagreement, sometimes violent, is a daily fact of life. Now add to the mix a heavy dose of multi-culturalism and the brew gets even more volatile. Then add 86,000,000 Americans being forced to pay for the livelihoods of 148,000,000 unproductive Americans and the brew becomes explosive. (Those 148,000,000 Americans think everything is just fine and they can vote to keep it that way.)

In that same nation, millions of illegal aliens are allowed to enter, almost unimpeded and encouraged by a liberal government. They get on the welfare rolls thus costing those 86,000,000 productive Americans billions of dollars in taxes for illegal-alien subsistence and millions of lost jobs, not to mention the drugs, rape, robbery and murder brought to America by the fairly large illegal-alien criminal element.

Let’s not forget the effects of radical environmentalism on the cost of goods and the loss of property rights, fueling rising distrust and anger in our rural communities all across America. We know a lot about that anger and discontent of rural landowners by the calls and e-mails we get every week from besieged landowners. We try to help them with the tools our organization (NARLO) provides, but it isn’t enough. The ability of the government, local, state, or federal, to harass and abuse landowners is greater than our ability to counter it. (See “Rural America In the Crosshairs”)

Add a Federal Reserve that is neither federal or a reserve and an exploding national debt to pay for over one hundred years of liberal, give-away policies, a debt that could lead to a devastating financial collapse and you have a recipe for not only anger and discontent, but the potential for rising violence.

Americans have had difficulty remaining united under any circumstances, except when it is threatened by a foreign enemy. But today, almost eight years of President Obama, it would seem the nation is coming apart at the seems. The great “Uniter” is in fact the great “Divider” and he has done so with malice afore thought to implement his twisted vision of America.

Obama’s Blacks think they are getting a raw deal and invented Black Lives Matter for non-existent injustices, with a giant boost from the nation’s wealthy liberals. They are stirring up trouble, chaos, violence and riots in every big city in America just for the Hell of it. Blacks voting in a block for Democrats is not because Blacks like liberal policies. It’s because they like the Democrats stealing from everyone else to give to the Blacks. It’s there form of reparations for past American sins.

Latinos are all upset because millions of legal Americans are finally saying enough is enough to illegal immigration, whether it is from Mexico, Central and South America, or the Middle East. The INS and ICE have lost control of the immigration process and are instead just throwing billions of our tax dollars at it, releasing tens of thousands of criminal aliens into the general population and failing to keep track of the millions of visas given out to foreigners.

The Indians are angry because of losing the war 150 years ago and are getting even with the White man by erecting casinos all over the place and confiscating land and water rights using ancient treaties, with the help of the government and radical environmentalists.

On top of that, radical Islam (ISIS and Al Qaeda) is threatening to annihilate our very way of life and our government, sworn to protect us from all enemies, foreign or domestic, is doing so little to crush the enemy that the enemy is free to come to America and kill Americans. Obama’s policies of appeasement and non-confrontation at any cost, are reaching out to bite us in a very big way, with the prospects of it only getting worse. Do you think twice now before going to the mall or the theater?

Then there are the laws. The America government, at every level, has passed so many laws against every human activity to the point that Americans have become lawbreakers every day of their lives, without knowing it …. that is until they get caught.

The wide-eyed, radical academic environmentalist Bill McKibben wants to give wartime powers to government against climate change, giving government the absolute power to do anything it deemed necessary, including confiscation of property, coercing businesses into supporting the effort, telling businesses what to do, when to do it and whom to hire, along with strict control over the economy. Bill has millions of groupies, academia and the news media on his side. But waging war, at any cost, including the loss of liberty, against a boogieman, backed up by unsettled or bad science, is the epitome of tyranny.

But worse, we have allowed growing secularity and worldly forces to rip out the cultural fabric of our Judeo-Christian heritage by allowing certain minorities rights that are in direct conflict with cultural norms and the natural order.

Our public schools and colleges have become institutions of liberal propaganda and indoctrination. Each generation learns less and less about America’s beginning and foundation of freedom. This is born out by millions of young Americans finding socialist Bernie Sanders a fitting presidential candidate. Then you have millions more Americans eager to put one of the most corrupt individuals in American politics, on the Clinton dynasty throne.

Soon the old ones will die off and their perspective of a free and prosperous America will be lost forever. With no heritage of liberty available from the seniors in our midst and no teachings of freedom in our schools, liberty will surely die.

We can’t imagine why proud, self-reliant, responsible Americans are so angry, frustrated and ready to do harm to someone or something. We can’t imagine why millions of those same Americans are listening to Donald Trump and liking what they hear. Or, can we?

Donald Trump, as flawed as he is, is channeling America’s anger, however imperfect his style and demeanor. For the millions of Americans that are sick and tired of business as usual and the institutional corruption, Donald Trump has given them a voice. But Trump is not a Superman that can leap tall buildings in a single bound. He cannot, with a wave of his extended hand, eradicate poverty, provide everyone with a job and kill our enemies. But most of all he cannot change the mindset of a “gimee!” national mentality that has become accustomed to sucking at the teat of mother government. Unfortunately, that “gimee!” mentality can vote to keep the “milk” flowing and they are in the majority.

But there is more to the problem than just an out-of-control government. We as individuals cannot just abdicate our responsibility to hold government accountable if we want to remain free. We cannot give a pass to our kids when they misbehave or act out. If we don’t set standards for them and demand they meet those standards, they end up derelicts on the street, criminals, or workers and businessmen without a moral compass …. or God forbid, Democrats.

John Scolinos, a famous baseball coach, gave a speech at a coach convention in Nashville, TN back in January of 1996. John stated that: “This is the problem in our homes today, with our marriages, with the way we parent our kid and with our lack of discipline. We don’t teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people.”

If our young people are not brought up with true knowledge, discipline, standards and moral underpinnings, they will be incapable of holding government accountable and will be easily manipulated by or become dependent on government.

We are running out of time. So just how long will self-reliant, independent, responsible Americans, worried about the loss of their freedoms and the collapse of the Republic, put up with:

The government erecting a multitude of new offices, and sending hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

The government has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving its assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For imposing huges taxes on us without our consent to pay for the unconstitutional promises they have made to millions of our citizens for their votes.

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:

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.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred. to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

Millions of Americans have not seen this language before, or know the vital importance of its words, because they have no knowledge of how America came into being and the fundamentals of liberty contained in its beginning documents. They are truly freedom ignorant. How can they defend or care about what they don’t know?

The first reaction to tyranny is resistance. The final reaction to tyranny is revolution. We are in the first stages in the reaction to tyranny and we strongly urge Americans to resist wherever they can before the second stage becomes unavoidable? All it takes is a flash point and the whole experiment with freedom could begin to unravel overnight, if it hasn’t already.

But then how can we peacefully stop a tyrannical government and the mob mentality it created, if we don’t have the votes? Short of revolution, there is only open and defiant resistance.

Ladies and gentlemen, the colonials broke with England in revolution for far less than what the American government has heaped upon its citizens in the quest for power, lust, greed and control over the masses. If government continues this abuse and usurpations upon its citizens, eventually they will make “peaceful revolution impossible and make violent revolution inevitable.”

America is about to boil over, especially if Hillary Clinton is elected President. That 86,000,000 minority that is paying for everything, the rich and middle class alike, may just decide to stop paying. Some of the wealthiest among us already have. If that 86,000,000 minority wants to be free from the yoke of liberal servitude they had better start resisting and they better start now because their vote means nothing against the liberal mob.

When the checks don’t show up at the welfare or unemployment office, or there is no food at the local Albertson’s store, we guarantee you there will be riots, mayhem and burnings in the street in every city in America. That leads to insurrection and civil war. In such an event, what is to stop the government from declaring martial law and suspending the constitution and all of the rights it promises? Absolutely nothing! Abraham Lincoln and Congress suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War. It’s only a small step to suspend the whole constitution, or to confiscate all your money you have in the bank, or in your retirement accounts.

The fate of America, freedom or tyranny, is in the hands of its people that is if the people have even the slightest concept of what freedom means or place any value on it. We’re not convinced they do because of several generations of Progressive and one-world-government brainwashing.

John Galt where are you when we need you?

“The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time the Congress meets.” -Will Rogers

Article I, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution

“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” Alexis de Tocquerville

Of the 435 House members and 100 Senate members of Congress, more than half are millionaires. Many Congressmen and Senators start out in political life with middle class incomes but leave Congress as millionaires. When they leave Congress they can command obscene speaking fees. Most of the rest of us do not have that kind of access to where the “money” flows.

The legal profession is also well represented in Congress. As of 2015, 160 House members and 53 Senate members are lawyers. Perhaps that explains why medical tort reform is so difficult to pass.

Then there are the very lucrative salaries. The Speaker of the House makes $223,500 per year. House majority and minority leaders make $193,400 per year. Your run-of-the mill House and Senate members take in $174,000. On top of that, throw in their healthy per diem and expense accounts and junkets to foreign lands, paid by the taxpayer. The best number we could find for total appropriations to pay for Congressional salaries and benefits was $4.1 Billion in 2014. Are they worth $4.1 Billion? We’ll let the reader decide.

Congressmen and Senators receive retirement benefits under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) through a formula depending on years of service and the last three year’s salary. A full pension is available to Members 62 years old and older with five years of service. It is also available to any Member at any age with 25 years of service. For 32 years of service a Member can earn a pension up to $139,000 per year. It is no wonder that Congressmen and Senators work so hard to get re-elected.

House and Senate Members do not participate in Obama Care. They have their own medical benefits through private insurance that also insures other federal workers, with little to no deductibles and small co-pays. The government, that’s you and me, pay 72% of their health insurance premiums.

In contrast, the middle class worker is subjected to rising premiums under Obama Care, along with high deductibles and significant co-pays. The out-of-pocket expenses under Obama Care are so high that the average individual essentially self-insures their health care, while their high premiums pay for everyone who can’t seem to afford health care. Today, there are too many people in the “wagon” and too few people pulling the “wagon.”

Senators and Congressmen and women don’t care about the debates they hold or the bills they pass, just so long as they can sit in their ivory towers of power, rule over the masses and suck up the unbelievable benefits that accrue to being a “politician.” They don’t really care if their party is in the majority as long as they can stand on the floor and put up the charade of acting like “representatives of the people.” They spend half of their time while in Congress going across the street to a phone bank center and dialing for dollars to cover the cost of their re-election. The majority and minority leaders demand this fund-raising activity. It is a “requirement of employment.” Would you pay a full day’s salary for a person who only worked half a day?

Even with their fund-raising efforts, Congressmen and Senators cannot get elected without the votes. They need the money for advertising and getting their message out, but they need something else to put them over the top. They have to buy votes using the public treasury. The Democrats discovered this over 100 years ago with the rise of the Progressive Movement and that has propelled the Democrats into having a virtual monopoly over the majority of votes in America.

The Democrats purposely engineered the one-man, one-vote concept that was upheld by a liberal U. S. Supreme Court. That decision turned America into a Democracy, ruled by the mob, rather than the Constitutional Republic the Founders intended it to be. The one-man, one-vote principle is also why the Democrats vehemently oppose voter ID laws.

Buying votes is why the U. S. debt has skyrocketed to almost $20,000,000,000,000. Obama, in his 8 years of expanding the welfare state, has nearly doubled the debt. If Hillary becomes President, watch the debt skyrocket even more. The General Accounting Office reported that no matter who becomes President in 2016, the debt will increase to $33,000,000,000,000 (that’s Trillion) by 2026 if America stays on its present course. That un-payable debt is a result of Congress, mostly Democrats, making promises of money and benefits to millions of Americans, paid for by a shrinking number of working Americans.

Then there is the lobbying of Congress. In 2014 it was reported that there were 12,281 registered lobbyists in DC. But some estimates put the number closer to 100,000 as lobbyists use increasingly sophisticated strategies to obscure their activities. Lobbying in the federal capitol is a $9 Billion dollar annual industry. $2.6 Billion of that $9 Billion is spent to influence what happens in Congress. Now there are strict rules and reporting procedures for lobbyists. But in a corrupt system there are many ways for the lobbyists to get around those rules, for the benefit of the politicians the lobbyists attempt to influence. Multi-national corporations are the biggest lobbyists and that is how America got trade deals that shoveled millions of American manufacturing jobs offshore.

Washington DC has the infamous distinction of being surrounded by the richest counties in America. It would be ludicrous to believe that those riches came from the politician’s salary.

As alleged representatives of the people, what do these ruling-class elite do for their salary and benefits? Very little and many of them are hopelessly corrupt.

Here is an example of the corruption that goes on in the U. S. Congress every day. That’s every day! Senator Rand Paul gets up on the Floor of the Senate and describes Senate corruption in detail. See his damning testimony at the following link. Then listen to former Senator Jim DeMint at this link, where he accuses the Senate of passing 94% of its bills in secret. 94% mind you ….. in secret! We can’t be a country controlled by the rule of law, if the lawmakers won’t follow the rules ….. much less the law, or pass laws that are so large and so complex that no one can understand or interpret them, except obscenely high paid lawyers. That is corruption on a grand scale and can only lead to enslavement of the people.

“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow.” -James Madison, Federalist No. 62, 1788

Political corruption is not a new phenomenon. It started when man invented politics, some 5,000 years ago. There always has been political corruption and there will always be political corruption because the propensity towards corruption is a human failing, especially for those who hold political power over the masses, or control over large sums of money. The only thing that holds corruption in check is the people. If the people don’t care and will not hold those that govern them accountable, political corruption grows and becomes institutionalized, just like it is now in America and has been in Europe for centuries. The inescapable truth is, freedom cannot co-exist with political corruption.

One of the protections against corruption was the fourth estate, or a free press, imbued with strong journalistic ethics and unbiased objectivity. It follows then that if the press is corrupt or biased in its reporting, as it is today, the people will not be properly informed of political corruption and the corruption will flourish in the darkness of ignorance that no light can penetrate.

The evidence of political corruption in the mainstream news media is not hidden any more. The bias towards and for anything Progressive or liberal is blatant and notorious. Every day we are drowned in Trump missteps but the coverage of Hillary’s corruption is glossed over, ignored, or under reported.

The same is true for the U. S. Congress. Congressional Democrats recently shot down sanctions for sanctuary cities and “Kate’s Law.’ Why? How can the Democrats be against punishing sanctuary cities for openly violating federal law and be against “Kate’s Law” that punishes deported criminal illegal aliens guilty of aggravated felonies with five-year mandatory sentences? Why hasn’t the press highlighted the duplicity of the Democrats in this open defiance of good and reasonable law? The answer is all too obvious.

Consequently, ladies and gentlemen, unless corruption can be controlled in politics, business, or the individual lives of the people, any peaceful attempts to preserve freedom will be fruitless. Only the people can control political corruption. If the people are corrupt, or are without honor, or don’t care, controlling corruption becomes impossible and thus freedom becomes a far-off shimmering mirage that can never be reached.

But then these are just words. Without action, the words are meaningless. Unfortunately, things aren’t bad enough in America for people to get active in trying to restore it. They don’t see what is happening behind the curtain and most don’t care. By the time they do care, it will be too late.

Right now, all there is out there is “talk” and “words” and lamenting on how bad it is. But no one will lift a finger to change it, even if they knew what to do. Perhaps it is just too big to change. What we are certain of is that the destruction of America is too far gone and has become too corrupt for peaceful means to alter its course. We have reached the point where the Colonials stood in 1776. Only violence will restore freedom, if freedom is to be preserved. All this stuff about presidential elections and representatives of the people are just a smoke screen to cover up the corruption and dupe the people into thinking we are still free and still living in a representative Democracy.

America has always been in a state of torment and turmoil from its beginnings. But the shift towards mob Democracy and socialism and away from a Constitutional Republic started in the early part of the 20th Century under the banner of Progressivism when: “Congress discovered it could bribe the public with the public’s money and tax them heavily using the IRS to pay for the bribes.” Now Congress not only bribes the people with the public money for their votes, but they lie to and deceive the public to cover up their corruption, leaving representative government lying dead and emaciated, face down on the ground.

In fact, the people of America are on a train gaining speed on a long, long straight track. Everything is comfortable on the train and the people are content and happy for the most part. But what the people on the train can’t see is the sharp curve at the end of the long straight stretch.

The “engineers” (Congress) know the sharp curve is there, but will do nothing to prevent the calamity. As it stands right now, no one is slowing down the train. There is no way the train can make it through the curve without crashing. At the crash, the American Republic will die and an Absolute Democrat Monarchy, or a dictatorship will take its place.

Bow to her majesty Queen Hillary, princess Chelsea, heir to the throne and the Duke of Debauchery, Prince William Jefferson Clinton!

A new royal kingdom under a Clinton Dynasty is a fitting end to a nation where most of the people became dependent on government and got to vote to maintain their dependency, rather than becoming independent, self-reliant, responsible individuals who cherished and preserved freedom.

In a recent article we wrote:

“It is a well-known fact that nothing happens in Washington DC by accident. There are no coincidences. It was not a coincidence that former president Bill Clinton suddenly appeared on the tarmac when U. S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s plane landed in Phoenix. It was no coincidence that he entered her plane and talked with her for 39 minutes without witnesses. It was no coincidence that the attending FBI agents wanted no pictures taken of the “chance” encounter. It was no coincidence that the FBI interviewed Hillary Clinton the following day. It was no coincidence that a few days later that FBI Director James Comey gave a fifteen minute statement absolving Hillary Clinton of any crime, because he said, there was no “criminal intent” even though she was carelessly negligent and the statutes didn’t require criminal intent. It was no coincidence that U. S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she would accept the FBI’s recommendation, without her own review of the investigation.” (Full article HERE.)

All those who believe that Hillary is innocent are corrupt or 10 cards short of a full deck. But there are way more “coincidences” than Hillary’s dubious and scandalous escape from jail time.

Of course it was just a coincidence that Obama and the State Department sent $400,000,000 in cash (not U. S. dollars) on an unmarked cargo plane to Iran on the very same day that four American hostages were released. Obama says it is just a coincidence. Iran says it was cash for hostages, a blatant violation of federal law. Iran just seized two more Americans. How much will the U. S. pay to get those two released, now that a precedent has been set ….. ransom for hostages?

It was no coincidence that a Muslim Gold Star Family, Khizr Muazzam Khan, a Pakistani American, who lost his son in Iraq in 2004, spoke at the Democrat National Convention. His son may be a war hero but Khan, the elder, is hardly a model American. He’s a lawyer, which is one strike against him. He specializes in international trade law in Saudi Arabia. What is he doing in America? He studied in Saudi Arabia and is a scholar and promoter of fundamentalist Sharia Law here in the U. S., which is a second strike. Finally, the third strike is that he appears to be an open advocate and associate of the Muslim Brotherhood. Khan acknowledges the contribution to one of his Sharia articles as Said Ramadan, head of the Islamic Center in Geneva and a major icon of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan Al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ramadan also has connections to Huma Abedin and Abedin’s parents, (all Muslims) a Hillary Clinton confident and aid. Abedin, raised in Saudi Arabia, is, or was, married to ex-congressman and sexual pervert, Anthony (take my naked picture) Weiner. (source: Click here)

So why are Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party attaching themselves to all kinds of Muslims, as well as members of the Muslim Brotherhood? It is not a coincidence. This has a “Muslim Trojan Horse” written all over it.

Do you think it is a coincidence that our borders are wide open and the Border Patrol’s website tells illegal aliens how to avoid being caught? That is a directive from higher up. Higher up leads all the way to the White House and Barack Obama.

Of course it is just a coincidence that Department of Home Land Security and ICE release tens of thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets of America to offend again ….. or kill. Allegedly it is cheaper to let them go than deporting them …. cheaper for whom? Don’t take our word for it. Check it out at the following links: [YouTube Video 1], [YouTube Video 2]

It’s no coincidence that the Democrats have done everything in their power to stop congressional sanctions on sanctuary cities and have blocked “Kate’s Law” providing mandatory prison sentences for aggravated illegal felons returning to America after being deported. What they are doing makes sense to Democrats. After all, illegal aliens, whether from Central, South America, or the Middle East, are future Democrat voters, especially if the Democrats are successful in granting them amnesty. So what if a few of the illegal aliens are violent criminals or terrorists?

It was just a coincidence that the ever-neutral DNC plotted against Bernie Sanders, in favor of Hillary Clinton. Sure it was!

But let’s not forget good ‘Ole U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder, a Democrat, who was saved from a Congressional Contempt-of-Court charge by Obama declaring executive privilege, over the gun running scandal called “Fast and Furious”. This wasn’t a coincidence it was a blatant cover up of government-sponsored criminal activity by Obama.

Do we dare call into question the fake investigation of the IRS by James Comey’s FBI, over the illegal targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. No one was fired, no one went to jail and Lois Lerner got a nice fat pension. Couldn’t be a coincidence there ….. could it? The IRS is still doing it! But that’s OK. We developed ways to beat the IRS and other federal agencies. Check it out HERE.

And it’s no coincidence that the environmentalists and the Federal Government have colluded with the American Indian to rob urban and rural landowners of their land and water rights. We have been tracking this issue since the Judge Boldt decision (1974) gave the Pacific Northwest Indians 50% of the Salmon harvest. Then came the Puyallup Indians (1990) who won a $162,000,000 settlement (taxpayer dollars) by clouding the title of thousands of acres in Pierce County, WA. The Puyallup Indian population at that time was about 1,200 Indians. Divide 1,200 into $162,000,000 and see how rich they became on the taxpayer. They opened a hugely successful casino with the money on the very land they clouded title. The Boldt decision and Puyallup Indian and the Alaska Native Corporation settlements set huge precedents for all other tribes to emulate or imitate.

The Coeur d’Alene Indians tried to take title to Coeur d’Alene Lake (1997) based on an old treaty, but thankfully, they lost. Today, with huge legal precedents and settlements on their side, the Flathead Indians in Montana have taken over the water rights in Western Montana, with the help of the State and Federal Government.

Then there is the Klamath Indians that have convinced the FEDS and the environmentalists that they have to remove four dams on the Klamath River for a two-inch fish …. for the Indians. A final settlement was reached this year to remove the dams. Removing four dams on the Klamath River decimates local agriculture and robs farmers and ranchers of irrigation, flood control and hydro electricity that have been there for 100 years. Indians 1 .…. Americans 0. Coincidence? Hardly!

If you care about the issue, view the video here.

California is in a severe drought. They need more dams, not less. America used to build dams, but not any more. The environmentalists have stopped all dam construction.

The story goes on and on and government and the environmentalists are helping the Indians do it based on ancient Indian Treaty rights. But we guarantee you ladies and gentlemen it is not about treaty rights. It’s about naked, radical, international environmentalism leveraging old American Indian treaties to further implement their radical agenda. Didn’t we win that war? Guess not.

Perhaps the reader thinks that pushing inefficient alternative energy sources (wind and solar) and man-caused global warming by government and the environmentalists are a coincidence? Hardly! Once again, it’s about control of the planet’s masses through strict environmental regulations on developed nations. It’s also about wealth re-distribution to third world countries because the West, including America, is bad and must be punished for their wanton ways. It is also just another step closer to creating the one-world-order.

Now some of you may think that the international trade deals like NAFTA, CAFTA, the North American Accord between the U. S., Canada and Mexico and the proposed Transpacific Partnership (TPP), are a good thing. Why would shipping American jobs offshore be a good thing? America started going down hill economically when it started losing its manufacturing base. It turned Americans into consumers, not producers. It also put a lot of Americans in the unemployment line.

Manufacturing was the source of our economic wealth and was a large percentage of our GDP. Manufacturing paid off the Second World War debt. But now the biggest percentage of our GDP comes from people buying products (70%). What should be readily apparent to everyone is you can’t buy a product if you don’t have a job.

But trade deals benefit mega corporations not the American worker. Mega corporations lobby Congress to get what they want and they usually get it. Even more than that, trade deals are just one more cog in the wheel of the one-world-order. Trump is promising to reverse this course. Hopefully, he will win and pursue that promise with vigor and determination.

Then there is the Black Lives Matter movement, which Hillary Clinton and Obama have endorsed. It is no coincidence. This anarchist group couldn’t have risen without money. The very liberal group known as the Democracy Alliance attracts liberal donors to the Black Lives Matter cause. The Alliance is described in a Politico article thusly:

“The Democracy Alliance was created in 2005 by a handful of major donors, including billionaire financier George Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay to build a permanent infrastructure to advance liberal ideas and causes. Donors are required to donate at least $200,000 a year to recommended groups, and their combined donations to those groups now total more than $500 million. Endorsed beneficiaries include the Center for American Progress think tank, the liberal attack dog Media Matters and the Democratic data firm Catalist, though members also give heavily to Democratic politicians and super PACs that are not part of the DA’s core portfolio. The Democracy Alliance last year voted to endorse a handful of groups focused on engaging African-Americans in politics ? some of which have helped facilitate the Black Lives movement.”

Other donators to Black Lives Matter include executives of Google, Netflix and Twitter. The entertainer Jay-Z donated $1,500,000. Google executives have donated over $2 Million. Why would liberals be donating to a movement that advocates violence, but worse, advocates violence against police? It is no coincidence. Blacks are huge voters for liberals and liberal causes (over 90%), especially those liberal programs that give handouts to blacks to buy their votes.

Gay marriage and the institution of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender individuals into the military are not a coincidence. The left is playing directly to the LGBT community for their votes. In addition, Democrats have bought off the Blacks, the Latinos, the elderly, the women, the poor and everyone else they can think of to maintain a virtual lock on political power.

The pattern here should be abundantly obvious to those with a lick of intellect. There are no coincidences. It’s all a well thought out plan by the Progressives and their plan has worked amazingly well. All of these events we have described are happening for three reasons: 1) the establishment of an Absolute Democrat Monarchy in America; 2) total control of the masses by buying them off for their votes, regulating them to death with socialist and environmentalist policies, taxing the Hell out of them and making millions of them dependent on government; and finally, 3) the implementation of the one-world-order.

The American people are being played for fools and they are acting like the fools they are, not the self-reliant and fiercely independent individuals that were born on the battlefields of freedom. If they elect Hillary as their president, they are even greater fools than is possible to imagine.

It is said the meek (fools) shall inherit the earth. It is also said they will get what they deserve. It appears that they are. Strong, stalwart, courageous men never let the bully win. One might ask, what happened to America’s strong, stalwart, courageous men who conquered a continent and built the strongest, most prosperous and free nation on earth?

Who among you STAND with the strong, stalwart, courageous men and women of America?

Do you want to stop HILLARY? Send us an e-mail HERE and request a copy of the copyrighted image in this article. We will e-mail you a JPG image so that you can print it up in color and circulate it all over America. A picture IS worth a thousand words. If this image, even by itself, was circulated nationally, it could expose Hillary and Obama as inseparable and two peas in a pod and it could significantly reduce her chances of becoming president. She must never set foot in the Oval Office as President, or you can kiss what’s left of a free and prosperous America goodbye.

Every four years we go through this aggravating and irritating charade called a presidential election. From the Primary to the General it becomes a year-and-a-half long, 24/7 barrage of “He said – She said”, pre-empting all other news. Wild promises are made on both sides, most of which will never come to pass. The only promises that usually come to pass are the ones that buy votes for a particular party. That is why the national debt is approaching $20 Trillion.

In reality, only 11 states will cinch an election for president. With the exception of California, Nevada and Colorado, the other 8 states determining the presidential election exist in the Eastern half of the United States. The people in the other 38 states might as well stay home.

The Eastern half of the United States, because of the density of population, has evolved into socialist states because of that density. The original thirteen colonies that started this experiment have all morphed into democratic socialist states, thus giving rise to a Bernie Sanders. High dense urban cities are hopeless centers of interminable dependency on government. Dependent people vote for the party that will allow them to remain dependent. Over 100 years ago, one party determined that its path to perpetual political power would be determined by how many votes they could buy with public dollars, without any regard to constitutional limitations. The vast number of dependent Americans that exist in America today, illustrate that party’s huge success.

The Heritage Foundation, in a November 2013 article, stated: “The great and calamitous fiscal trends of our time—dependence on government by an increasing portion of the American population, and soaring debt that threatens the financial integrity of the economy—worsened yet again in 2011 and 2012. This rise in government dependence happened despite the nation undergoing an economic recovery after the economic collapse of 2008 and 2009. The United States has reached the point at which it must reverse the direction of both trends or eventually face economic and social collapse.”

But this is hardly a new warning. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon wrote a book in 1980, 36 years ago, entitled “A Time For Action” and in that book he warned of what would happen if the welfare state were allowed to continue unabated. Even under Republican presidents, the welfare state has grown. Under Democrat presidents the welfare state has grown exponentially to the largest of all welfare programs, Obama Care. Democrats passed Obama Care in 2009 without a single Republican vote.

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders during the current presidential election cycle, their vision is to expand the welfare state even more, without regard to how to pay for it, except by increasing the national debt and taxing the rich and the middle class into oblivion. Do Democrats or socialists really care about the plight of the poor, disadvantaged, the disaffected and minority groups? YOU ARE delusional if you believe that. The votes from these constituency groups are only a path to Democrat political power.

According to the Census Bureau in 2012, 109,631,000 Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally funded “means-tested programs” — also known as welfare. That number represents 35.4% of the total population. Total benefit takers, including Social Security and Medicare amounts to 48.5% of the total population. With the addition of Obama Care, Americans wholly or partially dependent on government, together with illegal aliens and asylum seekers, are now well over 50% of the population. America has reached the point of no return, where there are not enough votes to restore it to the vision of the Founding Fathers no matter who becomes president.

Buried deep in the Census Bureau statistics you will find that 86,400,000 full-time private sector workers are supporting 148,000,000 benefit takers, an astounding and unsustainable imbalance. Benefit takers include government workers along with welfare, food stamp, Medicaid, social security and Medicare (veterans not included) recipients. Since income tax revenues can’t begin to cover these exploding costs, the government borrows the money against the income of future generations, thus creating a steadily rising, un-payable national debt.

Voters that are dependent on government will lobby heavily to maintain their benefits. Many well-funded, socialist, minority and immigrant organizations enhance that lobby. Any politician that even hints at undoing the welfare state or reforming Social Security starts losing votes by the tens of thousands immediately. President Bush the younger tried to tamper with social security in his last term. His initiatives were dead on arrival at Congress. Long-term Senator Slade Gorton of Washington State campaigned on reforming Social Security. He lost the election.

The unrelenting push by Progressives for the last 100 years to buy votes to stay in power has created a nation of takers. Nothing else could explain the huge popularity, especially among the younger set, of socialist Bernie Sanders who has promised the “moon” on the backs of the wealthy and middle class. Almost every American institution, including government offices, public schools, academia and the news media has been infected with this socialist mindset. Recent immigrants from foreign lands have added to this mindset because most of them come from impoverished, socialist countries.

The Democrat Party is and has been left of center for a very long time and the bar keeps moving left with every election cycle. In order to pander to the Bernie Sander’s supporters, the Democrat Party has moved even further left to the point that the Democrat Party platform is now the most “Progressive” in the history of America.

Democrats and the machine behind them are so obsessed with maintaining political power, they engage in voter fraud and other tricks to skew the popular vote in their favor. Between voter registration fraud and bussing the poor and minorities to the polls, that may or may not be registered voters, the Democrats have managed to control the entire election process for decades.

Even if conservative voters are successful in electing Donald Trump as president, it won’t change the Democrat/Socialist system that has been built up around the Progressive ideology. Democrats have wooed ethnic minorities for many decades, to the point that Blacks and Latinos owe their souls to the Democrat company store. Women, the elderly and the gay-transgender community have been bought off as well. Democrats have set their sights on destroying the Judeo-Christian ethic that built America and have systematically tried to tear it down from every conceivable angle.

Any constituency group that gets or wants something from government will ask the Democrats and they will get it. Their votes keep the Democrats in power to continue this unconstitutional sham. Each year, more Americans get or want something from government and their vote is aligned with what they are getting from government, or what they want from government. If every American that could vote did vote, the Republican Party would cease to exist virtually overnight.

In fact, the days of a conservative party in America dedicated to constitutional principles, less government, independence and self-reliance are numbered, that is until those 86 million workers supporting the other 148 million takers suddenly decide that enough is enough and put on the brakes. If there are more people in the cart than there are people pulling the cart, the cart will never make it up a hill.

So you can cast your vote for president this year but you are delusional if you think it will change anything. No matter who is elected, the SYSTEM will not change, except under Hillary Clinton it will just get more entrenched. The SYSTEM is bigger and more powerful than the power of the people to change it because the power of the people is fragmented, divided and scattered to the four winds. Until the people coalesce around the foundation of freedom as they did in 1776, the SYSTEM will continue to govern and get more powerful. Right now the Democrat-Progressive ideology is the blood in the SYSTEM. The SYSTEM is in dire need of a blood-of-freedom transfusion and just voting each election cycle isn’t enough. As in 1776, only the blood from conflict, peaceful or otherwise, will provide the needed blood-of-freedom to provide that transfusion. We are not holding our breath in anticipation of this happening.

If you AGREE, let us hear from you.

It is a well-known fact that nothing happens in Washington DC by accident. There are no coincidences. It was not a coincidence that former president Bill Clinton suddenly appeared on the tarmac when U. S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s plane landed in Phoenix. It was no coincidence that he entered her plane and talked with her for 39 minutes without witnesses. It was no coincidence that the attending FBI agents wanted no pictures taken of the “chance” encounter. It was no coincidence that the FBI interviewed Hillary Clinton the following day. It was no coincidence that a few days later that FBI Director James Comey gave a fifteen minute statement absolving Hillary Clinton of any crime, because he said, there was no “criminal intent” even though she was carelessly negligent and the statutes didn’t require criminal intent. It was no coincidence that U. S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she would accept the FBI’s recommendation, without her own review of the investigation. They call that a rubberstamp. When, in the history of our great Republic, did the FBI Director become defense counsel, judge and jury?

Was Comey bought off? We don’t know. But ladies and gentlemen it smells so bad as to remove all doubt that a “deal” was made at the highest level of government to save Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid. That is tyranny and corruption by any definition. Whatever respect we had for James Comey was dashed by his obviously political decision. He sacrificed honor for political expediency.

We ask you to view a nine-minute video in an under-oath exchange between U. S. Representative Jason Chaffetz and FBI Director James Comey about Hillary Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State with regard to her treatment of classified material. It will give you an idea of just how bad it smells and that it was no coincidence that the FBI and the DOJ let her off. Trump is right. The system is rigged and not in the little guy’s favor, especially if the little guy finds him or her self in the sights of a federal bureaucracy like the IRS, or the EPA, or the BLM, or the USFW, or OSHA, or the USDA, or DHS, or the FBI.

The IRS, doesn’t need for you to have criminal intent to be hounded, harassed, intimidated, or prosecuted by this rogue, out-of-control bureaucracy that has no master. All you have to do is to run afoul of the IRS’ interpretation of Title 26 of the United States Code (USC). Depending on the agent and the office location, their interpretation of Title 26 can be whatever they want it to be. You have two choices, comply or fight. Fighting can be an exhausting, time consuming, expensive and a highly emotional experience. Most taxpayers just capitulate to the almighty Goliath.

As we stated before in another article, the IRS hounds over 10,000,000 taxpayers every year for IRS mistakes. As we write this, we are in the sights of the IRS for one of their mistakes. That fight has been going on since November of last year. And that is only one of the fights we have had with the IRS that extends over 10 years. They are relentless. They pay no attention to your claims of innocence and ignore your legal defenses. They violate your right to due process and they trample all over your constitutional rights. They use threats of huge fines, penalties and even jail time if you resist. In the criminal world, their actions amount to coercion, extortion and blackmail. Congress won’t rein them in and they are free to operate as a shadow, ruthless government, with virtually unlimited power.

The IRS has gone after any conservative group who dares to ask for tax-exempt status. Their persecution of these groups was fodder for a giant scandal that ended in an FBI investigation. But like the Hillary Clinton FBI investigation, the FBI let the IRS off the hook. Once might be a coincidence, but twice it is collusion at the highest level and therefore an illegal conspiracy.

And God help you if the EPA comes along and charges you with a violation of the “Clean Water Act.” One Wyoming rancher was attacked by the EPA for creating some irrigation and stock watering ponds on his property, with full permits from the state. That wasn’t good enough for the EPA. They hit the rancher with a fine of $37,500 per day for a Clean Water Act violation. As the fines mounted to almost $20,000,000 he had to take the case to the U. S. Supreme Court to beat back their attack. He prevailed, with the help of the Pacific Legal Foundation who defended him at the high court. He got the fines lifted and the violation rescinded but he received nothing for his lost time, money and emotional distress. But how many ranchers and farmers have the resources to fight the federal government? While at the same time, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is free as a bird for multiple federal law violations.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is another federal law overseen by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency with drastic consequences for landowners. Tens of thousands of rural landowners, mostly West of the Mississippi, have become the target of radical environmental groups that sue the government over whether an animal or plant species should be listed as threatened or endangered. God help you if your land is the habitat for one of these species. On the backs of the taxpayer these environmental groups and their attorneys receive huge settlements from the government allowing them to continue their lawsuits to preserve species that should have been de-listed, based on fraudulent science. The ESA has become a cash cow for environmental groups and their attorneys while devastating rural landowners who lose the right of use of their land because of a threatened or endangered species. The landowners lose, but Hillary and others like her win.

Legitimate businesses are also targets of federal bureaucracies. Federal agents raided Gibson Guitar over some woods they were using in the manufacturing process. The government claimed the woods were banned. The charge had no merit in law. That raid cost Gibson several million dollars in fines, penalties and lost business. Gibson Guitar was a non-union company and the owner had donated fairly large sums to Republican candidates. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton gets a free pass.

Dairy farmers have been raided by federal agencies for daring to exchange their un-pasteurized milk with willing buyers. Thousands of farmers are having their irrigation water cutoff for a stupid two-inch fish. But Hillary can break the law with impunity and receives no punishment and is in fact rewarded for her criminal behavior. She could become the next president of the United States.

Illegal aliens flood into America by the millions, breaking our laws. Very little is done to stop the flood and many American cities are openly shielding them. Illegal aliens get rewarded for their law breaking with our tax dollars and Democrats continue to promise them amnesty through proposed immigration reform legislation. The federal government gives sanctuary cities a pass while these cities openly defy federal law. But Hillary can’t be prosecuted because she didn’t have criminal intent.

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement perpetrates violent protests all over America for an injustice that doesn’t exist. They are funded with millions of dollars from rich liberal businessmen and Hollywood actors. Very few of the BLM lawbreakers are prosecuted for their criminal activities. Obama and Hillary have endorsed and promoted this violent group, as they did the Wall Street protests.

There are federal-perpetrated injustices on private citizens every day, day in and day out. Americans are being prosecuted for the smallest infractions paying big penalties and sometimes jail time. But powerful, politically influential and wealthy individuals receive scant interest by prosecutors that are sworn to uphold the law.

After over 10 years of writing a weekly column about the decline of America into ruling-class chaos, where the politically anointed are shielded by the system from misdeeds and criminality, we stand aghast at the docility of the American people to accept this as “just the way it is.” That’s how dictatorships are born.

Millions of Americans naively believe that they can change the system with their votes. They further erroneously believe that one man can do the job for them. But that only works if the believers have the majority. To those who continue to exist in the Land of Oz and other wizards, the Democrats have the votes because they have been successful in the last 100 years buying off the majority of the American people with promises from the public treasury. This Democrat policy of buying votes had nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with maintaining perpetual political power.

If all of the people that could vote did vote, America would just be another European socialist country going broke. But the fact is ladies and gentlemen, America IS just another European socialist country going broke because the American people continue to let the government buy off the low information voter with the people’s money and give sanctuary and a free pass to the ruling class, like Hillary Clinton, that are above the law.

That is why this rogue, out-of-control bureaucracy called the IRS that has no master, doesn’t need criminal intent to hound, harass, intimidate and prosecute American citizens but shield and actually work for those in power. The axiom that says Americans are innocent until proven guilty under the law, does not apply at the IRS and probably doesn’t apply in the American court system if the truth be known.

What’s the solution? To those that have an ounce of intellect the solution is abundantly obvious but comes with high risks, huge costs and a monumental mind shift in the body politic. Sadly, we will never live long enough to see this shift, if it ever happens.

In a Heritage Foundation Daily Signal article it was reported that “Fifteen (15) Democrat Attorney Generals from as many states have threatened legal action and huge fines against certain industries, Exxon Mobile being one, to force them to open up their books and produce documents about their positions on climate change to see if they are lying and divulge which groups they have funded to research climate change.”

“One of the 15 AG’s, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said: ‘The bottom line is simple: Climate change is real.’ He went on to say that if companies are committing fraud by “lying” about the dangers of climate change, they will ‘pursue them to the fullest extent of the law.’ When pressed on the effect such investigations and prosecutions will have on free speech, Attorney General Schneiderman claimed that climate change dissenters are committing “fraud” and are not protected by the First Amendment.”

Really! Would someone please tell Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton that when she lies, which is most of the time, she is committing fraud and could be prosecuted, unless of course the FBI does the investigation? If lying were a crime, every politician would be in jail.

“Democrat U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch also weighed in, admitting that the Justice Department is discussing the possibility of pursing civil actions against climate change deniers, and that she has already ‘referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria’ for which federal law enforcement could take action.” Screw First Amendment free speech!

Let’s see. Wasn’t Attorney General Loretta Lynch the one that met with former President Bill Clinton on her jet in a blatant conflict of interest where they talked about golf and grand children and didn’t say a word about Bill’s wife Hillary up for indictment on illegal handling of classified materials while Secretary of State? Yeah, Ms. Lynch is believable, credible and objective, isn’t she ….. or did she lie?

But please Democrats, sue everyone who doesn’t agree with Obama’s Climate Change initiatives that 97% of 10 scientists agree is fact. The trials of the 20th Century were the Scopes and the O. J. Simpson Trials. Let’s make the Climate Change Trial the trial of the 21st Century. Let’s bear all the facts about alleged man-caused global warming so that even the dumbest American can understand it. And we say dumbest American because so many dumb Americans, mostly Democrats, have bought into this global fraud.

Every day there is a new article and new evidence from credible sources finding fault with and debunking the hopelessly flawed IPCC Climate Change models. And yet Obama, the Democrats, the radical environmentalists and the international elite are determined to shove this unmitigated, smelly, expensive excrement down our throats.

So by all means, lets get the facts in front of a jury, hopefully jurors that possess at least a double-digit IQ. Let a gaggle of scientists get up on the stand and plead their case that we are all going to drown, or prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this whole climate change propaganda is nothing more than an international agenda to put us all in environmental chains and transfer the wealth of industrially advanced countries into the hands of the mentally challenged, backward, third-world countries.

Ever since the United Nations was formed in 1945, third-world countries, (there are about 175 of them) have been trying to find a way to get their hands on the vast wealth of Western civilized nations and make the civilized nations pay for their alleged transgressions. There is no thought given to what the Western civilized countries have done to lift up the backward, un-educated, disease-ridden, impoverished countries. The third-world remains impoverished because they are content to live in aborigine squalor and filth, driven by ancient traditions, myths, legends and native jungle customs. All they want is our money and Climate Change, alias man-caused global warming, has given them the tool to get it, with the help of the UN and the national and international ruling class.

Most of the evidence to support man-caused global warming comes from computer models created by and through the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Any alert layman that has observed the weather knows instinctively that weather can change abruptly, without warning. They know you can’t make accurate long-range predictions of the weather when any local weather forecast is only good for about two hours. Any first-year science student knows that you can’t make accurate long-range predictions about a non-linear dynamic system and the weather is one of the most non-linear dynamic systems on the planet. There are just too many variables in the system to use computers to make long-range predictions from which to impute specific actions to limit temperature rise ….. or fall. Here is a list of just ten of those variables:

1. The effects of all of the green house gases on the planet’s temperature, including water vapor.
2. The effects of the changes in the Sun’s emissions on temperature over long periods of time, including the effects of the different types of Sun radiation on temperature.
3. The effects of shifting ocean currents and ocean temperatures on the planet’s temperature.
4. The effects of CO2 absorption by all the world’s vegetation and oceans.
5. The effects of cyclic and intermittent volcanic eruptions.
6. The effects of planetary wobble.
7. The effects of changes in the planetary orbit around the Sun.
8. The reflective effects of the world cloud cover on temperature.
9. The reflective effects of Arctic and anti-Arctic ice cover.
10. The effects of the changes in the planets inner temperature on atmospheric temperature.

These are only ten variables effecting average world temperature. There are many more variables not listed. The variation in each of these ten variables is huge, making any answer from the equations using these variables gibberish, no matter how powerful the computer. The long-range wide variations of each variable, is mostly unknown to science. So what do climate scientists do when they enter the variables into their computers to glean long-range temperature trends? They make guesses and assumptions. Guesses and assumptions are not science, if you wish to arrive at irrefutable conclusions but they are very useful if you want to con the masses.

Therefore, making long-range predictions of the Earth’s climate is a fool’s errand. Climate change is in fact, an unprecedented, monumental global hoax.

One of the most damning pieces of evidence against climate change appeared in a simple graph showing the world temperature over the last 500,000 years taken from the highly-regarded science of ice-core samples. 500,000 years ago the world temperature was approximately 6.5 degrees below today’s average temperature. However, at 400,000 years the world temperature peaked at slightly above today’s temperature. It peaked again at 340,000 years ago, then again at 240,000 years ago and then again at 120,000 years ago and then again at the present. Somehow, the climate alarmists expect us to believe that the current rise in temperature was caused by the emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere from industrialization. In their minds, Mother Nature, or an unknown natural cycle, didn’t have a thing to do with it. That defies credulity, not to mention basic logic and leads to the conclusion that climate alarmists are lying through their teeth to promote a political agenda.

If the 500,000-year historical ice-core temperature data was the only evidence against man-caused global warming, we might concede that not enough scientific research had been done. But the ice-core evidence is just the tip of the iceberg of known anti-climate change science. We have assembled an entire web page on the NARLO website HERE with links to article after article of credible science refuting the whole concept of man-caused global warming. Don’t believe us. Read the science. For a broader view read our guest editorial in the Seattle Times on global warming HERE.

Even though the evidence against climate change piles up across the planet, it is totally ignored by the media, liberal academia and Democrat politicians. Sadly, most Americans don’t care that they are being conned. Almost every newspaper in America prints articles claiming that man-caused global warming is a reality but never prints a counter argument. Their readers are forced to absorb only one side of the so-called climate science.

Endless climate change propaganda has made millions of Americans believe it is a real and imminent danger that will affect them in their lifetime. Of course, Democrats are more scared of this boogey man-without-a-science, than Republicans. Each newspaper, each environmentalist, each Democrat politician and each Democrat Attorney General that propagates and promotes this bilge and threatens to sue the deniers, is a co-conspirator in the climate change conspiracy. Each is a bald-faced liar.

Consequently, we invite every environmentalist, every climate scientist, every Democrat politician and every Democrat attorney general to sue us if they believe that man-caused global warming is settled science. Prove in a court of law that your science is the best available science and cannot be questioned or refuted by any other known science on climate. We make this challenge because we know that when the facts have been fully and accurately presented in a court of law, climate change will be exposed to be a fraud of the highest order, with the full intent to subjugate all citizens on the planet to rigid radical environmental regulations, dilute or eliminate national sovereignty, destroy constitutional property rights, rob us of the greatest energy source known to man and strip the western nations of their wealth, in a grand wealth redistribution scheme. And if you want this fraud to continue, then by all means, vote for the Liar-In-Chief Hillary Clinton.

So we say: Please! Please! Democrats! Sue to defend your cherished climate change. We’re ready for you with reams of powerful science that will gut your unsubstantiated climate theories to shreds. Let the “Trial of the 21st Century” begin.

In our recent article entitled, “What Was That 4th of July Freedom Again?” we described what happened to freedom since Patrick Henry uttered those immoral words, “Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death.” We laid out the details on the slow erosion of our freedoms. Oh yes, Americans have more liberties than the people in most countries, but is that the standard we are willing to accept? How much more degradation of our freedom will Americans tolerate? Will they suddenly find themselves in chains not knowing how they got there?

The enumerated powers of the Federal Government were described in the U. S. Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Clause’s 1 through 18. In point of fact there were only 17 powers, the 18th being an implementing power to the first 17. Allegedly, all other rights belonged to the states and the people, but do they?

The 10th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Today, what powers and what rights do the states and the people still retain? The Federal Government has greatly expanded the original 17 limited powers and in so doing has seriously diluted and degraded the powers of the states and the people. By bastardizing and twisting the “Commerce” and “Necessary and Proper” Clauses and supported by flawed decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court, they have blatantly usurped the sovereign powers and rights of the people. By virtue of this expansion of power, the Federal Government has become the Master of the people, one of the greatest fears expressed by many of the Founding Fathers in setting up a central government.

So lets take this expansion of powers by the Federal Government to its logical conclusion ….. “absolute power.” Absolute power is absolute tyranny. How far is America from absolute power by the Federal Government ….. a fortnight, a month, a year, a decade, a generation, a century? That depends on the people and how willing they are to defend freedom.

Local, state and federal government politicians mistakenly believe, at their own peril, that if they pass law after law against the citizens of America, especially if those laws fall outside of the expected freedoms most Americans believe are their unalienable rights, they are somehow immune from some of those Americans striking back with violence. First, it will be isolated incidents like the man near Denver, mad at local authorities over zoning issues, outfitted his large bulldozer with steel plates and small holes to see through, brought it to the planning department’s office and leveled the building before he committed suicide.

Then there is the case of a man somewhere in Arizona that couldn’t trim his own hedges himself and had to have it done by the contracted landscaper of the gated community he lived in, at his cost of course. He sued the community and lost. His next action was violence. He took a shotgun to the community meeting and killed two of the commissioners. He will be in jail for the rest of his life.

A disgruntled contractor in Kirkwood, MO, just south of St. Louis, with a history of acrimony against civic leaders, stormed City Hall during a council meeting, yelled “Shoot the mayor!” and opened fire, killing two police officers and three city officials before law enforcers fatally shot him. It seems that the man was frequently at odds with the zoning commission. He ran a contracting business from his home and was often cited for storing materials that didn’t meet code.

Does any of this sound familiar? It especially does to the American rural landowner who is assaulted every day by growing land use and environmental regulations.

As law after law is added to the already voluminous law books, law breaking will become the norm and the incidents we cited above will increase. Violence will follow the law breaking as government exerts more police power to enforce the growing number of insane and unenforceable laws. As government tyranny and enforcement rises and politicians and bureaucrats, at every level of government, continue to squeeze Americans with new and more draconian laws, violence will be the final arbiter, unless WE THE PEOPLE rise up en masse and peaceably take control of our government and bring it back to the principles of constitutional law that the Founding Fathers created for us, at great cost.

What we have now is a government run amok by special interests and politicians only too eager to pander to those special interests for the money and political influence they will need to win the next election. On the other side we have an electorate that is oblivious to the corruption that goes on at every level of government and doesn’t seem to care one whit. They don’t care at their own peril.

Nevertheless, having said this in the context of the Second Amendment, let us be clear:

“Under almost every circumstance we do not condone violence in any form.”

But some citizens, who are frustrated with the unreasonable and in some cases treasonable actions of government, will resort to violence to relieve their pent up anger and frustration. No matter how much the politicians shield themselves with a huge police presence at government meetings and conferences, or when they are alone out in the community, some Americans will resort to violence against those they think are responsible for their grief and frustration and will find a way to deliver that violence.

Being a politician will eventually become extremely hazardous, unless politicians wise up and return to the principles of freedom and liberty laid down for us and paid for by the blood of countless brave men and women that have gone before us. If you squeeze a ripe tomato too hard, it will ooze out between your fingers. If you squeeze Americans too hard, unintended and sometimes violent consequences will be the result. It is an inescapable fact, which way too many ignore.

So what is the solution to the evolution of government absolute power and absolute tyranny? The Founders gave us that solution in the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was not about hunting, or defending yourself against criminals, although worthwhile elements. The Second Amendment was about defending yourself and your loved ones against absolute government power and absolute government tyranny.

During the American Revolution, both sides had roughly the same weapons; swords, muskets, pistols, gunpowder and cannons. But today both sides do not have the same weapons. The government has the weapons that could easily annihilate the entire population of America and the power to totally enslave anyone that survives.

The imbalance in weapons and power between the government and the people is the difference between a cannon ball and a grain of sand. If the Second Amendment is to remain relevant in today’s world of super weapons, the people must be able to arm themselves to the point of at least giving them an edge, albeit a slight one. That edge is the assault rifle. If every American household had an assault weapon on the premises and was trained to use it, there would be a lot less crime and government wouldn’t be so quick to continue degrading our liberties by passing zillions of unconstitutional laws and turning America into a police state.

The question as to how much of an edge the people should have against government tyranny has raged for many decades. Should the people have hand grenades, bazookas, mortars, tanks, aircraft and other heavy weapons? The general consensus is that in an ordered and peaceful society such weapons in the hands of the general population would pose a serious risk to others in the population. That is a strong and logical argument.

So where does society draw the line and still be compatible with the roots of the Second Amendment? We have already seen that hand guns and rifles also pose a threat to the general population. Using that same argument, why then should people be allowed to own handguns and rifles? Again, using that argument, English and Australian governments outlawed the ownership of guns. Correspondingly, crime in both countries rose because the criminal, who is always able to obtain weapons on the black market, prey on a defenseless population. In contrast, the people of Switzerland are encouraged to own and train with guns. They don’t have a lot of crime in Switzerland.

Yes, in a free society, some deranged people or terrorists will take a handgun, a rifle, an assault weapon, or a bomb and turn it on other people, as happened in San Bernardino, Orlando, Aurora, Columbine, Sandy Hook and now Dallas. In each case an armed man or woman could have dispatched the shooter, with a lot less loss of life. But in all those cases we cite, only in Dallas did the victims of the shooter (the police) have guns.

Unfortunately, the news and social media play the tragic events endlessly for days at a time, stirring up gullible people into believing that the only solution is to ban assault rifles, bullets, or even take all weapons away from the private citizen. Democrats are the champions of these efforts and make no mistake, if the Democrats had their way, they would ban the ownership of handguns, rifles and assault weapons and even bullets, as did the liberals in England and Australia. On America’s present course, the Democrats could very well be successful in that goal.

But every time the Democrats call for more gun control in America, gun sales rise dramatically, virtually overnight. There are now more guns in America than there are people. One in three Americans own one or more guns. Since Obama took office in 2009, just to meet the growing demand, gun manufacturing rose from 5.5 million guns in 2009, to over 11 million guns in 2013 and gun manufacturing and gun sales are still on the rise in 2016. (Source: NPR)

Two people we know stated emphatically to us, they don’t know why anyone should own an assault weapon, the argument being you don’t need an assault weapon to go hunting. They ignore the fundamental purpose of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was never about types of weapons, or hunting, or even your personal safety. It was and is about defending freedom. It’s about holding government in check. It’s about stopping government tyranny. It’s about not allowing government to evolve into absolute power.

A Japanese admiral was purported to have said during World War II why he wouldn’t invade America. He said, “because there would be a gun behind every tree.” The admiral was right then and he is right today. In Wisconsin alone, there are over 600,000 people with hunting permits. It is easy to assume that a large portion of that 600,000 own guns. That’s just one state.

An armed society, whether handguns, rifles, or assault weapons, is a significant and necessary deterrent against government tyranny and absolute power. The question is, when do the people invoke the Second Amendment to derail a government bent on absolute power? If the American government, at all levels, continues this vicious and relentless assault on the American people and their liberties, on the guise of social justice, radical environmentalism, multi-culturalism, political correctness and the one-world-order, that question may be answered sooner than any of us think.

We want you to picture this. You are finally settled onto a lifeboat filled to the gunnels with shivering and petrified passengers, as you watch your ship sinking before you. You drift away from the sinking vessel and suddenly find your lifeboat drifting close to some flotsam upon which four large lions are perched. The captain yells from the sinking ship with his last words before the ship sinks, that the people in the lifeboats must take on the lions to save them. The flotsam is slowly sinking and the lions are looking for drier ground. Some of the people on the lifeboat are coaxing the lions to jump on board, while other passengers are horrified by the idea and object strenuously. All at once the four lions jump into your lifeboat to keep from drowning. Almost immediately, many of the passengers jump overboard because freezing or drowning is preferable to being mauled to death or eaten alive. Some passengers try to wrestle the lions overboard but get seriously injured or killed for their efforts. The situation is dire and the outcome is predictable. In the end, the lions will own the lifeboat. Lions and people are oil and water. Radical Islam is oil to the water of all other people and all other faiths.

America is a lifeboat of sorts, being one of the last bastions of freedom on the planet and everyone in the rest of the world would like to get onto our lifeboat. Fortunately, there is still some room in our “lifeboat” and we can take on a few more people who share some of the same cultures, habits and religious beliefs as most of the American people share.

America is by far a European culture sharing commonality with political systems, cultural heritages and religious beliefs of European countries. It was formed on the foundation of a Judeo-Christian platform. But even with these commonalities, we disagree with one another on many issues, even religious ones.

Everyone knows that oil and water don’t mix. For the American government to force Americans to take on the “lions of hot-blooded radical Islam” onto our financially unstable, precarious “lifeboat” and endanger the safety and financial security of those in the “lifeboat,” is tantamount to trying to force oil and water to mix and should be identified by what it is ….. TREASON, not compassion!

Islam was born in the hot deserts of Saudi Arabia. It split in two when its Founder and Prophet, one Muhammad Ibu Abdullah, died in the Fifth Century, on June 8, 632 AD. The schism as to who was to be the new leader of Islam created the Sunnis and the Shia who have hated and fought with each other for almost 1,400 years. Their civil war shows no signs of cooling down and that civil war is embedded in the genetic code and the hot desert blood of most Middle Eastern and North African Muslims.

The early Muslims were mostly Bedouins and Tuaregs that wondered the deserts on camels carrying goods between desert strongholds. Like the American Indians, Middle Eastern Muslims were and many still are, tribal and warlike. Being a warrior and dying in battle was and still is the ultimate glory for millions of Muslims. Taking as many people with them when they die is the ultimate glory, allowing them to ascend into Allah’s heaven where 72 virgins await them. Because of the teachings contained in the Qur’an, most of Middle Eastern and North Africa Islam are at war with the rest of the Earth’s people, no matter what the alleged peaceful Muslims say. Radical Islam is hopelessly locked in a 1,400-year time warp and shows no signs of exiting that time warp anytime soon.

Islam is not just a religion. It is a way of life containing the operation of government, punishment, military units, legal tenements, dress codes, the treatment of women and children and religious beliefs, all wrapped up in the law of Islam, known as Sharia. Muhammad states in the Qur’an that it is perfectly OK for Muslim men to take four wives. By the way, Muhammad had 10 wives. Under American and most European law, having more than one wife is classified as bigamy and is unlawful.

(more oil and water)

Islam was never intended to co-exist with other people, as all other people are infidels and must be killed, or conquered, according to the Qur’an. Islam did a damn good job of doing just that to Europe and North Africa in the latter quarter of the first millennium. But they were pushed back then by Charlemagne and they were pushed back again in the early Twentieth Century with the final collapse of the Islam based, Turkish Ottoman Empire. It now appears we will have to push them back again, in the Twenty First Century. That’s the oil ladies and gentlemen. The oil is on fire and we are all going to get burned if world governments don’t smash radical Islam once and for all.

Now contrast Islam with the European culture, which we will call water. Most of the peoples of Europe are descendants of the Christian or Jewish faiths. Most of the people of Europe are white. Their Christian and Jewish culture, once warlike, has evolved for the most part into peaceful co-existence with each other. Today, there is no splinter Christian or Jewish group that is actively trying to kill everyone who isn’t Christian or Jew. There is no group within the Christian or Jewish faiths that is intolerant of other faiths. Only radical Islam is intolerant of every other person on the planet that isn’t Muslim.

The European culture settled the North American continent, which gave birth to a new kind of freedom in America, individual freedom. But individual freedom, especially for women, is the antithesis of Islamic Law. Just look at the people streaming out of a Mosque some day and you will find the women covered with the mandatory headscarf (“hijab” – referenced in the Qur’an). In many Muslim countries, the women will be fully covered by a black or gray berka, whenever they leave their home.

Millions of women in Muslim countries are subjected to genital mutilation, also known as female circumcision. UNICEF estimates that at least 200,000,000 women had undergone the procedure in 27 African countries alone. The procedure can happen any where from birth to puberty. “The practice is rooted in gender inequality, attempts to control women’s sexuality, and ideas about purity, modesty and aesthetics. It is usually initiated and carried out by women, who see it as a source of honor, and who fear that failing to have their daughters and granddaughters cut will expose the girls to social exclusion. The health effects depend on the procedure. They can include recurrent infections, difficulty urinating and passing menstrual flow, chronic pain, the development of cysts, an inability to get pregnant, complications during childbirth, and fatal bleeding. There are no known health benefits.” (Wikipedia)

It is further estimated that at least 500,000 girls and women in the U. S. have either undergone the procedure, or are at risk of having it done. Congress has passed legislation to make female genital mutilation illegal in America, as well as making it a crime to take girls out of the country to have it performed. 24 states have followed suit.

(More oil and water)

Today with the civil war raging in Syria and the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, hot-blooded Muslim refugees have been pouring into Europe by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. It is estimated that Germany has taken in almost a million Syrian refugees alone. Tens of thousands more Muslims are streaming into every country in Europe, virtually every day, with devastating consequences. The hot blood of Islam with Sharia embedded in their minds (oil), is never going to mix with the warm, generally peaceful blood of Europeans or Americans (water).

Now your American government, under the Obama Administration, wants to force you to accept tens of thousands of these hot-blooded lions-of-the-desert Muslims in your towns and cities all across America. They say it is the compassionate thing to do and we must do our part. Democrats are great at shoving multi-culturalism down our throats and they don’t care about the cultural clashes that are sure to ensue, the terrorist threat, or the huge sums of taxpayer money needed to support the refugees. After all, to Democrats, a refugee, or an illegal alien, is a future voter.

But the cultural clashes and potential for ISIS infiltrators is only half the problem. Americans have to pay for these refugees and pay huge. Let’s just say that 77,000 Syrian refugees are allowed into America each year (government estimates from 2015). That equals almost 20,000 families with each family requiring a minimum of $50,000 annually just to exist. 20,000 families times $50,000 equals $1,000,000,000,000 each year. Now what if Obama allowed 1,000,000 Syrian refugees into America, as he wants to do. That’s 250,000 families at $50,000, or $12.5 Billion per year. This doesn’t even include the millions of illegal aliens that have already poured into America over our porous borders in the last three decades, living here on the backs of the taxpayer and also not assimilating into American culture.

Most of Syrian refugees do not speak English. Most do not have skills that translate into income- producing jobs. Most of them are steeped in the ancient religious, warlike culture of 5th Century Islam. Most of them will require huge subsidies just to survive, that includes but not limited to, education with translators, food, shelter, transportation, counseling and medical care. Most will end up in their own enclaves spread out across America with no thought of ever being Americans, just displaced Syrians longing to return to the hot desert home lands they left behind.

Look at the problems we are having with Somalis in Minnesota. Either their kids are leaving America to train with ISIS, or the parents use America for a staging area to champion for Somali independence. They don’t care one iota about the American culture, only how to use it for their own benefit.

None of this addresses the increasing threat to Europeans and Americans from Middle Eastern radical Islam through its many surrogates, including ISIS and Al Qeada. The greatest danger seems to be from the radicalized American-born children of recent Muslim immigrants, as were the San Bernardino and Orlando killers.

But ladies and gentlemen, you cannot destroy the snake’s venom (Islamic terrorism) until you cut off its head. The only way to eliminate the threat is to go after the brain from which all terror emanates. You must destroy the “brain’s” command and control. You must stop the signals from the brain reaching the other parts of the Islamic body. The only way to do that is to take the lifeblood away from the brain. The lifeblood is money and the radical Islam ideology. The final solution to stop Islamic terror is to crush the brain, cut off the head and dismember the body. If there is no brain, the rest of the body dies. At that time and not until then, the lone wolves of terror around the world will fade away.

Don’t just take our word for it. Listen to a 14-minute video by Paul Weston, a Brit, at a CPAC Conference on March 3, 2016. He describes what is happening in Europe and the UK. His warnings about Islam are chilling and dire in the extreme. Another Brit let Prime Minister Cameron have it over his irrational Islam immigration policy. He describes radical Islam in excruciating detail. It’s a must watch 6-minute video HERE.

Either our government heeds these admonitions or American civilians will pay the price in lives and money. But then Americans have already paid the price in New York, Paris, Brussels, San Bernardino, Orlando and now Bangladesh, not only in lost and shattered lives, but in billions of squandered taxpayer money throughout the U. S. That price will continue to grow with no action from the American or other world governments.

The only country to lead that effort to destroy radical Islam has to be America. Perhaps one day we will have a president and a congress that acknowledges the threat and does what is necessary to eliminate the threat, including all-out war. It better be soon or all American women will be wearing the hijab or berkas and undergoing genital mutilation. Like it or not, we are in world war III, with radical Islam, a rapidly spreading cancer, replacing the Germans and Japanese of World War II. If the American government doesn’t lead the way to defeat radical Islam, then Americans had better arm themselves to the teeth and learn how to FIGHT Islamic terrorists and government.

As Patrick Henry’s cry of freedom, “Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death” echoes across the passages of time, has it not become meaningless in the 241 years since it was uttered at the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, which ushered Virginia into the American Revolution? Future presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were at that convention but the freedom they fought for in 1776 and described in the Declaration of Independence and the new, fresh-off-the-press, U. S. Constitution, is not the freedom that exists in contemporary America today. It is so far from it as to be earth and fire.

There was no compromising or capitulating in 1776. There was only open defiance, dedicated resistance and the courage to risk it all and fight with cannons, guns, swords, knives, spies and lives, the rising tyranny of King George III. If you think that government in America, at every level, has not become tyrannical, you have been watching too much reality TV.

Once again, we celebrate the 4th of July but why do we celebrate it, if what we are celebrating no longer exists? We say our soldiers are fighting for our freedom, but what is the definition of the freedom for which they fight? Do they know? Does the general population know? Hell no!

Free you say? Freedom? My Aunt Fanny’s, fanny!

If July 4th is Independence Day, it is not the Independence that is defined in our American dictionary. It is not the freedom and independence that was crafted so carefully in our Declaration of Independence by men of vision, in a time of conflict, confusion and turmoil, over two centuries ago.

Freedom and independence means freedom of choice, freedom of movement, freedom of what to buy, freedom of what to wear, freedom of what to say, freedom of where to live, freedom to arm yourself, freedom to defend you and your family by violence if necessary, freedom of where to work, freedom to live on and use your land without undue government interference and freedom to roam freely throughout America without having to go through check points and body searches.

We are constantly subjected to the authority and jurisdiction of government. We are continuously being influenced by the dictates of government. We can’t move sideways without butting heads with an out-of-control, arrogant bureaucrat to get some permit or license. Way too many of us are dependent on government for our very existence. We are forever relying on government for aid and support. We, as a culture and as a nation, are no longer competent, self-sufficient, self-reliant and responsible. Some of us are, but nowhere near a majority. We have been bought, sold, conquered and enslaved with out a shot being fired, for a few pieces of silver. God, Americans are cheap to sell their freedom for so little.

If we were to tell you how un-free you are, it would take a book, not an article. There have been so many laws written that every American is a lawbreaker every day of their lives, but they don’t know it, that is until they get caught. And when they plead to the court that they didn’t know there was a law they had violated, the judge will say, “ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Guilty!” That’s enslavement.

Americans have become so conditioned to ever-increasing laws they shrug them off as “that’s just the way it is.” There are no constitutional challenges to the old laws or the new ones, just capitulation. There is no repeal of out-of-date, or conflicting laws. Every American should shudder in abject fear and terror when a state or federal legislature is in session, or when bureaucrats meet to propose new rules, or when a city or county council hold public hearings, or executive sessions behind closed doors.

Government taxes the Hell out of us to pay for social programs so that they can buy votes and stay in power. Government wastes our money like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Government lies to us so that we won’t know what they are doing behind our backs. Government tries to trick us by playing with our subconscious minds. Corruption is not the antithesis of government. Corruption is the very essence of government.

So just how can you be free when your government taxes you, what you buy and everything you own to death, taxes you after death, forces you to get a license or a permit for everything, or passes laws to stop you from doing anything. Do you believe that Obama Care has increased your freedom? Do you believe that allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter America illegally, without penalty and then rewarding them with “free” stuff paid for by you, is freedom? Do you think that you will be more free when the Democrats are finally successful in taking your guns away, as the liberals have already done in England and Australia? Of course it’s coming!

Did you see the Democrats stage a sit-in on the House floor and cry like babies because they didn’t get their way on more gun control legislation? It’s Democrats, liberals and unions that protest violently when they don’t get their way. Disgusting!

Are you free when your government allows a foreign enemy to grow and propagate worldwide and allowed to attack and kill American civilians at will, without a swift and overpowering response to those attacks? Are we so fearful of conflict that we will let the bullies win? Did we not learn anything from World War II?

Are you free when one anti-freedom ideology can be embedded in all of our institutions, as has Progressivism? Are you free when radical environmental law makes a human being a virus on the earth and restricts almost every human activity? Is it freedom when Google, Facebook and Twitter, Democrats all, can silence conservative speech with just a simple algorithm? Are you free when the IRS can drive you into poverty or put you in jail because of mistakes they make, target you because you might resist government, or God forbid, ask for tax-exempt status? Is freedom defined when the president can make a law simply by signing an Executive Order, in direct violation of his oath of office and Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution?

What we have described here is not freedom ladies and gentlemen, it is the very definition of tyranny. American government tyranny has surpassed King George’s tyranny by several orders of magnitude and the allegedly “free” people in America have let out not so much as a noticeable peep in opposition. In fact, the American people have been complicit in this tyranny.

Americans have been conditioned not to resist, at home, at work, in our public schools and our colleges. Compliancy with government and authority has become a virtue. The patriot’s cry of freedom, or believing in the Christian God, or defending your 2nd Amendment rights has become extreme, or dangerous. To call radical Islam, “radical Islam” is not politically correct, even though radical Islam’s plan is to kill us all.

It is OK to discriminate if you are a protected class. White men are not a protected class, but blacks, Latinos, gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, transgenders, women and the elderly are protected classes and are granted special privileges, in direct violation of the “equal protection” clause of the 14th Amendment. Affirmative Action, which is racial discrimination on its face, has just been upheld again by the U. S. Supreme Court.

The U. S. Supreme Court itself has become a wholly political body, not an impartial group of nine learned men and women to adjudicate the constitutionality of laws and legislation. The split decision over Obama’s Executive Order to stop illegal alien deportation is a glaring example. Four very liberal Supreme Court Justices thought Obama’s usurpation of executive power was perfectly OK. How can that be in a “free” America?

Judges in our federal and state courts have become unsanctioned affiliates of the legislative branch and legislate from the bench.

Freedom? Poppy cock! Alleged American freedom and the 4th of July, which celebrates that freedom, is an illusion, a mirage, a construct by the Progressives in our midst. The only people who are free are politicians, judges, attorneys and bureaucrats who have the power to tax us, regulate us, or throw us in jail.

Go ahead! Compromise! Capitulate! Be compliant to authority! Roll over! Go along to get along! Don’t rock the boat! You can, but like Hell we will. That’s how America got into this mess; Republicans forsaking their principles of liberty and unalienable rights and compromising with Democrats, as Democrats moved America ever so faster towards socialism.

Life is a constant struggle over competing interests. Either protect your interests, or the other guy’s interests prevail. Freedom and property rights are our interest and we intend to protect those interests with committed defiance.

But we don’t have to have another American Revolution to fight or resist government. In our long struggle with government over our adult lifetime, we have created effective tools and defenses against government’s interests. When they come calling, which they seem want to do these days, we go on the defensive, and sometimes on the offensive. We never compromise or capitulate. We never give in or roll over. We study the law and then question government’s authority and their laws, using existing laws already on the books. If you have the courage you can challenge them as well, using the tools we have developed, HERE. Urban or rural, the tools are effective.

Everyone wants world peace or national tranquility, but world peace or national tranquility won’t happen until all competing human interests have been neutralized. That won’t happen until the next big asteroid or comet strikes earth and causes a mass extinction of the human species.

All humans have a natural, animal, God-given right to protect themselves and their offspring from all forms of tyranny, foreign or domestic. To do otherwise is cowardice. Human bodies and minds were purposely designed for survival and to resist all forces jeopardizing that survival and freedom. If you want the 4th of July to mean something again you are going to have to fight for it, now more than ever. On June 23, 2016 the English declared their Independence from the ruling class, unelected EU bureaucrats and the central banks. It’s way past time for Americans to do the same. Maybe Trump can lead the way.

“Compromise! Capitulate! Be compliant! Not question government authority! Never, as long as there is breath in this body!

Who STANDS with us and freedom?

Moan, groan, puff out your chest, pull your hair, or gnash your teeth and the numbers won’t change. After over 100 years of buying votes, the Democrats have conquered the nation ….. with votes, using your money. Think of any constituency group and the Democrats have the plurality. Whether it is women, the elderly, gays, transgender, blacks, Latinos, or Jews, the Democrats have them and these groups aren’t going to “switch” any time soon ….. unless enough of them are broke or scared.

The entire Democrat ideology has been institutionalized at every level of government. Every single Democrat-sponsored program, from Social Security forward, is broke or going broke and sending America deeper into irrecoverable debt. The Democrat’s Obama Care just accelerated the path to insolvency.

With the tools of propaganda, hype, lies and distortions, the Democrats have been successful in painting conservatives as racists, misogynists, bigots, haters, extremists and anti-American, all the while promoting their own anti-freedom policies of the collective, dependency, multi-culturalism, political correctness, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order. Individual freedom is the farthest thing from their minds. Individual freedom doesn’t buy votes from the millions of Americans that have become wholly dependent on government, at the expense of those who work. Democrats have taken compassion to the irrational and carried it to the point of insanity, for votes, on the backs of the taxpayers.

Most of the news media has aided and abetted this century-long mindset shift in the body politic. Our public schools and colleges are infiltrated with this socialist dung. Parents of the last two to three generations have been immersed in it. Our children are being brainwashed in it at home and at school. When they grow up they get jobs in government or education, thereby perpetuating and propagating this radical, un-American image. The officers and employees of powerful corporations, like Google, Facebook and Twitter, are carriers of the Democrat disease that punctuates and influences everything they do, including censuring conservative speech using computer algorithms, or editorial boards.

Democrats won’t be happy until we are all in chains, dependent on and subservient to an ever-growing government, with them in control of the political power, as well as our land, our water, our food, our energy, the Internet, our communications, our health care and our money. Spying on us everywhere, will become ubiquitous and Orwellian, as they weed out the patriots, mavericks and malcontents among us. If you challenge their words or authority, you will just disappear.

The hard truth is, Democrats go after votes with promises of money or benefits and then deliver on those promises at the expense of America’s financial security. Republicans go after votes based on fundamental constitutional principles. The Republicans are right, but that won’t help them win the popular vote, much less the Electoral College, with millions of dependent Americans who believe the War of 1812 was fought against the Russians.

But if you are a Republican-Establishment-RINO and you want to get re-elected and are without honor, you are going to “go” where the votes reside. You don’t care about principle. You only care about your cushy government position and the power, money and perks that come with it. It makes no difference if you are in the minority, or the majority, just as long as you keep getting re-elected.

Why do you suppose that Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and the other RINO’s are scared to death of Trump? He has alienated large portions of the very constituency groups the RINO’s are trying to pander to, or win over. He’s shaking the timbers of the Republican Party and stirred up a hornet’s nest in the electorate. They are afraid that as Republican Establishment RINO’s they will suffer what they perceive to be a coattail-demise from a Donald Trump campaign for President. Instead of getting behind him with all their might, they trash him. The Democrats and the media are eating it up to the detriment of the Republican Party ….. and freedom.

Why do you think the term RINO came into being? Those Republicans still guided by conservative principles have split with the Establishment class who will do anything to get elected or re-elected, sans principle. In order to get elected or re-elected, they have had to sell their collective souls and move left, considerably left. They won’t do anything that might ruffle the feathers of Democrat constituency groups for fear of losing votes and that is why they give Obama everything he wants. They won’t chance a veto because they believe it will be turned around and used to denigrate Republicans ….. again, just like what happens when the Republicans shut down the government for all the right reasons. Republican Establishment RINO politicians are cowards and have become unbalanced and paranoid.

Republicans can’t win with any less than 50% of the women vote that is split between a woman’s right to choose and pro-life. They can’t win with any less than 40% of the Black and Latino vote that have been hypnotized, mesmerized and bought off by Democrats. Why do you suppose Democrats want open borders?

Republicans can’t win unless they get over 50% of the elderly vote who have been bought off by the Democrat-created programs of Social Security and Medicare. They won’t get the LGBT vote for sure because conservatives still believe in the sanctity of marriage and the nuclear family of one man, one woman and some well-balanced kids and the LGBT community doesn’t. Republicans can’t win even if they have 100% of the white male vote.

Is it any wonder that Republicans are split so badly? Is it any wonder that the gap grows wider by the day? Is it any wonder that Trump is so controversial and an antithesis to the Republican Establishment RINO class who don’t care if they destroy what is left of the Republican Party because Trump isn’t “one of them?” Democrats get behind their own, right or wrong. Republicans “eat” their own, for sport. Republicans had better ask why and fix it before America becomes a one-party nation, if it hasn’t already.

But wait! There is a wildcard in all of this. The electorate is driven almost entirely by emotion and is thereby fickle. Most of the electorate doesn’t give one whit about Constitutional principles. However, they do care about jobs and the economy and they do care about national security, especially after the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida and the threats of more attacks by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers. Trump plays heavily into the electorate with these two vote-rich issues.

It wouldn’t be the first time that the electorate shifted in a presidential cycle. After 4 years of Jimmy Carter, Americans went big-time for an actor that made people feel that America was still a shining city on the hill. Now Trump is no Reagan but nevertheless Trump exudes confidence, boldness, energy, power and the dedication to help America reach its full potential, while at the same time going after our enemies with a vengeance.

During the over 230 plus year history of America, presidents of all stripes, character, persona and flaws have served their country. Some have served with dignity and honor and others were lack luster or just plain not up to the job. Some were hopelessly corrupt. All have shaped America in one form or another. Depending on your perspective, the shaping was either good or bad. As the presidents have shaped America, so too has the Presidency shaped each president. They either have grown in the oval office, or have become diminished by the job.

Along comes a Trump. He constantly says, “I am going to make America great again.” He says his victories will just keep on coming, to the bewilderment of all Americans. He will make our military stronger than ever. He will build up our economy beyond our wildest dreams. He personally, will negotiate deals that will make our heads spin, because he is the great dealmaker. He will show our enemies, including Russia’s Putin, that when he draws a red line and it’s crossed, there will be severe consequences. Millions of Americans were eager to hear these kinds of words that Trump utters and rushed to support him.

Trump is a powerful, successful man. Unfortunately, his untamed mouth makes him prone to gaffs and stretches of the truth, if not outright fabrications. Like most men, he has flaws and is individually thin skinned. The flaws and the thin skin will either doom him or propel him to greatness.

Nevertheless, no matter what the general population thinks of him on either side of the aisle, he has managed to capture the adoration of millions of Americans. It remains to be seen whether he can keep the current momentum going all the way to winning the Presidency, or will open his mouth one too many times and choke off the votes he needs to win over that part of the electorate that wants more jobs and a better economy and wants America to stand up to its enemies and permanently defeat them.

The harsh reality is, Trump wins or loses on the electoral vote. Right now, as the Electoral College exists today and without a voter revolt, Trump loses and Hillary, or some other Democrat wins. It’s up to Trump and all other Republicans, RINO or conservative, to back him because he wins or loses on Republican votes and crossovers from Democrats and Independents. Sit out the election, or write in another candidate on your ballot and you give your vote to Hillary. It’s that simple. A vote for Hillary or any other Democrat is a vote to permanently destroy America and liberty.

A lot can happen in the next four months and what happens will shift the vote one way or another, because as we said, the electorate is emotional, fickle and hopelessly uninformed. Our political world in America rests atop the sharp point of the sword of fate and random probabilities. Sadly, emotion, not intellect, rules.

We have written a poem about these issues and have uploaded it to one of our websites. Now some of you may not like poems but they are nothing more than a different literary medium to convey a message. Some poems are witty and well thought out, while others are corny or hollow. You can view the poem HERE and make up your own mind.

Life is indeed complicated and stressful! There is so much to do and so little time to do it. What with jobs, commutes, kids, homes, vacations, entertainment and sports, it’s so hard to pay much attention to what our government is doing. But just because we look the other way does not diminish the affect of government’s actions on our daily lives, much less our bank accounts.

Many of government’s actions are hard to see. Federal, state and local governments pass law after law and somehow we think we are immune from the consequences of those laws. Government is like a mosquito. You don’t feel the actual penetration of your skin, only the itch after the mosquito has withdrawn its blood-sucking straw and buzzed away. Come to think of it, government is very much like a mosquito with its blood-sucking taxes and zillions of rules, regulations, restrictions and ordinances that control every aspect of our lives. (the rules are the “itch” after the government has employed its weapon of choice by raiding your wallet ….. taxes.)

So what has government really done for you? Where do we start? Why not start with illegal immigration?

Your federal government (that’s the 545 people who control almost everything in America – a president, 435 representatives, 100 Senators and 9 Supreme Court Justices) has seen fit to encourage (indeed provide a magnet) illegal immigration by not enforcing existing law and sealing our borders, as they are mandated to do. We are absolutely convinced they have done so on purpose. And for their skullduggery we get to pay for it all. The price tag for schools, language tutors, medical treatment, anchor babies, social services and lost jobs to legal Americans by illegal aliens, has been estimated at nearly $300 to $500 Billion per year. We had no say in this policy, as our representatives and senators know what is best for us. Well, don’t they? Besides the cost, comes the premeditated, unconscionable erosion of our American sovereignty. And speaking of American sovereignty, let’s not forget NAFTA, CAFTA, the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership (North American Union).

Now let’s look at what the collusion of the radical, international environmentalists and the U. S. government together, have done for us.

1- The purposeful and unconstitutional theft of our property rights with environmental law after environmental law.

2- Severely restricts development of new crude oil resources on American soil for 30 years.

3- Stopped all construction of new power generation and refineries on American soil for 30 years.

4- Trying to take control of every mud puddle in America (Clean Water Restoration Act) – EPA rules).

5- Instituting an ill-conceived and dastardly policy to turn “food” into fuel.

6- Brainwashing the entire American population (including our children in public schools and colleges) into believing that we are the cause of the destruction of our planet and must give up our cars and our lifestyle and pay for CO2 emissions. (wealth redistribution)

7- Along with all this brainwashing comes the propaganda and lies of man-caused global warming.

8- The mandated institution of a National Animal Index System (NAIS) to register every animal and every premise in America, that might be harboring livestock or other animals. It’s been shelved for now but it will be back.

9- But worst of all comes the treasonous degradation of the foundation of our laws, our constitution, by integrating UN and European social and environmental policies into law by presidential executive order and without the debate and ratification of such additions to our laws by the U. S. Congress, as required by the constitution. And what is the result of the government’s collusion with the radical, international environmentalists? Rapidly accelerating costs of everything and the direct and inexcusable loss of our freedom and liberty.

Then we have the government’s monetary policy under the Federal Reserve. But then the Federal Reserve isn’t a government entity, is it? It is run by a bunch of elite bankers who tweak the supply of money (money that essentially has no intrinsic value) by moving the interest rate they charge other banks, up or down, in response to perceived events that they, in their infinite wisdom have determined that such changes are required. Unfortunately, they are usually wrong or go too far and set off a chain of events that they then try to over-correct and end up acting like a teenager just learning to drive. The Feds have the power to send us into a recession, or rapid inflation, or stagflation and they do. Who pays the price for their tomfoolery and their inability to properly make adjustments to a dynamic system? We do!

And of course, let’s not forget the government’s social policies. From the New Deal in the 1930’s to President Johnson’s Great Society, the blood-sucking government has eaten up trillions of our tax dollars to solve a problem (or is it buy votes with our money) that shows no signs of getting any better. In so doing, they have robbed the pride, self-reliance, independence and a can-do spirit out of millions of Americans who have sold their souls and their freedom for a piece of the American hard-working producer’s sweat equity. Instead of growing in independence, they have grown totally dependent. These folks that drink at the “well” of the government’s largess, become unproductive and an increasing load on the rest of us.

Finally, the good ‘Ole Federal government passes law after law that then filters down to state and local governments. This then creates law-driven symptoms that have us all running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to stop the state and local governments from making our lives even more miserable than the Feds have already done. In our actions to thwart these government-manufactured “symptoms”, we take our collective “eyes” off of the ball that is the direct cause of all these local symptoms; the 545 people that control everything in America. Socialists and radical environmentalists camp at government’s door, vying for any favor they can get from government, in return for money, votes, or perks offered by the lobbyists. Our system of government has become so corrupt that only a revolution can ever bring sanity to what is now hopelessly insane and out of control.

There is so much more that government has done for (or is it TO) us but there isn’t enough space here to describe them all. So what HAS government done for you? They have taken our pride, our hard-earned money and our liberty, for policies that far exceed the limits of commons sense, much less the individual, inalienable rights, that are the irrevocable gift of our creator.

But then, what with jobs, commutes, kids, homes, vacations, entertainment and sports, it’s so hard to pay much attention to what our government is doing.

Wasn’t it President Ronald Reagan who said. “The most terrifying words in the English language are: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” He also said: “Government is not the solution. Government is the problem.”

If only government would just get out of the way and let the spirit of a free American people prosper and save themselves and the rest of the world, like some have said we were pre-ordained to do. The sad truth is that, government will not get out of the way unless the people force them.

We describe some of these conditions in our new video:

“AMERICA, LAND OF THE SLAVE AND HOME OF THE FREE ….. MEAL!”

“The job facing American voters… in the days and years to come, is to determine which hearts, minds and souls command those qualities best suited to unify a country rather than further divide it, to heal the wounds of a nation as opposed to aggravate its injuries, and to secure for the next generation a legacy of choices based on informed awareness rather than one of reactions based on unknowing fear.” Aberjhani, a contemporary historian, columnist, novelist, poet, and editor.

In a substantial departure from our usual subject matter of what is wrong with America and how to fix it, we are going to put on our political hat in this ridiculously silly presidential season. And yes, it seems to be even more silly than any previous presidential season and we have lived through 15 of them as an adult.

What makes this silly season stand out more is not necessarily because of the unique, if not unconventional style of one Donald Trump, although that is a factor, it is because of how far left America has become. There is no way to separate ”left” from liberal, progressive, or Democrat, or the ideology they have espoused for the last 100 plus years and the damage that ideology has done to a once-free and prosperous America.

On the Democrat side, there seems to be a contest between how far left Bernie or Hillary will go to pander to that huge segment of the American population that is either a “protected class”, whatever that is, and that segment that looks at government as a gravy train or a free ride. The Democrats look at that segment as the votes they need to stay in perpetual power in America. The tool is simple to get those votes. Just promise the people in that segment, money or benefits taken from the hard-earned money of productive Americans that ends up in the Public Treasury at the point of an IRS gun.

Why anyone would vote for Hillary, given her past and propensity for corruption, is directly tied to what she promises in return for votes. The same is true for Bernie but he doesn’t seem to be as corrupt as Hillary, just an idiot who believes in the socialist mantra as prescribed by one Karl Marx. Both passionately believe in “free” stuff for Americans in exchange for their votes, massive taxes to pay for the free stuff and massive regulations to control all of us. That’s what they do in Europe.

Take Denmark as one example. Income taxes are a straight 40% of income and sales taxes are 25% of retail sales. The tax on a car is 180%. Aw, but everything is free in Denmark, well sort of. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a true picture of a Hillary and Bernie socialist world.

The progressive ideological policies that Bernie and Hillary promote have weakened the human fabric of America by fostering and promoting dependency in exchange for votes. They have torn away and belittled America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. They have blurred the stark, undeniable differences between right and wrong. They have excused bad or criminal behavior as societal ills. They have broken the bank and led us into bankruptcy with little or no possibility of return to solvency. They have stifled the economy by sucking up trillions of taxpayer dollars to pay for the promises they have made in exchange for votes. They have turned our borders into sieves where millions can cross with impunity and then rewarded with more taxpayer dollars. They achieve peace with our enemies by appeasement rather than project strength. They reward and make deals with our enemies and deride our friends. We challenge anyone, black, white, Democrat or Republican, to refute these facts. But if this is what this large dependent segment of America wants, then they are not just blithering idiots, they are totally ignorant of history and have no knowledge of the importance of individual, unalienable rights.

But let’s get back to Hillary. We have turned our literary talents to political poetry to better describe Hillary and Bernie’s socialist utopia. We put the following poem on Youtube, set to the background music of “Pop Goes the Weasel”. Every time the music goes “Pop Goes the Weasel” an image of a weasel pops up on the screen with the head of Bill Clinton. Sure the poem and the video are a little corny, but then so is Hillary. All this would be laughable and silly if it weren’t so serious.

“A Crooked Little Woman”
– An Ode To Hillary Clinton –
© Copyright May 2016 By Ron Ewart
All Rights Reserved

There was a crooked woman
Who walked a crooked mile.

She found a secret document
In a crooked file,
Then put it on her private server
With a crooked smile.

She married a crooked cat
That strayed from their crooked house.
He was never very loyal
To his crooked little spouse.

One day the crooked woman
Ran for president in a crooked year,
Campaigning in a crooked style,
With a malicious crooked leer.

She cackled like a chicken
And barked like a dog.
Her words were always jerky
Her mind in a fog.

This crooked little woman
Walked a crooked path.
She couldn’t help herself
Because of her long crooked past.

Can this crooked woman
Make it to the top,
Or find herself in handcuffs
By a Federal Bureau Cop?

Now most of us who follow this “stuff” know that Bernie has had a lack luster career in the U. S. Senate, put and kept there by the socialists of the socialist state of Vermont. We find it ironic that all of the original thirteen colonies that started this experiment with freedom have morphed into socialist states. The reason is quite clear. Most of the people in the original thirteen colonies now live in high-dense urban cities. The people in cities are dependent on government for their very survival and thus become socialist because of that dependency.

Bernie is a special case. He was always an Independent Socialist who became a Democrat Socialist in order to run for president on the Democratic ticket. Bernie, like most politicians, lives life as a chameleon of expediency. One day a politician is a Democrat, the next day a Republican, or a Democrat Socialist, depending on which way the political wind is blowing. We describe Bernie’s run for president in another poem we just wrote. Remember, poetry is just a different form of expression, where opinion, political or otherwise, can be written in a metered style.

“The Hopeless Ride of Bernie Sanders”
© Copyright May 2016 By Ron Ewart

With his shocking white hair
On each side of his head,
He can’t be too many years
Before he’s quite dead.

There is very little doubt
A socialist flag he flies
He’s got Hillary on a route
And snookered the young with his lies.

He’s raised all kinds of money
When the truth he can’t win
But nevertheless
He’s knocked Hillary on the chin.

He’ll campaign till he drops
From sea to shining sea.
He doesn’t care if he flops
Just so long he can be ….

… a pain in the ass
to crooked little Hillary.

He is in it for the long haul
To stroke his giant ego.
He’ll take it to the convention,
Even if he’s a no show.

For all the money he has spent
On the socialist horse he does ride.
He’ll just make a small dent
In little crooked Hillary’s tide.

It is all such a waste
When you look back and see.
Bernie and Hillary are just a sour taste,
Of rising government tyranny.

Are these two the best Democrats can offer?
If such is the case then all we can proffer
Is America is dead or dying
And we are all in a pan
To death we are frying.

Bernie might very well win more delegates in the California Primary than Hillary. Nevertheless, he has no chance of catching up with Hillary’s delegate count but it will be one more poke in Hillary’s eye and the weakening of her presidential bid, not withstanding the potential of her being led off in handcuffs by the FBI. The Democrat convention could be lively indeed.

It’s quite possible that the split between Hillary and Bernie will cause supporters of one Democrat side or the other, to sit out this election from their respective couches, while they are watching “Dancing With The Stars” or some other liberal reality TV show. Because America is so divided the election will be close. Sadly, the “gimee free stuff” side has more votes than the “let my people go” side, that is if they all vote. Since so much depends on turnout, the party with the largest turnout wins. If the Bernie supporters sit it out, Trump wins. If the Hillary supporters stay home, Trump wins. If Republican voters decide Trump isn’t “conservative” enough and refrain from voting, or insert a write-in candidate on their ballot, Hillary wins. If the egotistical “Establishment” members of the Republican Party run a third-party candidate because they loathe Trump, Hillary wins.

If Hillary wins, with her nominees for the U. S. Supreme Court, freedom in America will be set back 75 to 100 years, if ever.

Boil it down anyway you wish,
It doesn’t get any more simple than this.

“Life is a struggle between competing interests. Protect your interests because the other guy will be protecting his and if he is more aggressive than you, his interests will prevail over yours. At this point in America’s history the interests of government and the Progressives are prevailing over yours. You have a choice, fight to win, or be content with losing and eventual slavery.” -Ron Ewart

“I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life’s illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on the other side, what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.” – Suzy Kassem, “Rise Up and Salute the Sun:”

Sure! Life is great in America. In fact, America today is probably a better place to live than any other nation on earth, relatively speaking. People are not flooding into Mexico from America. They are flooding into America from everywhere on the planet because of what we have and are able to do here. Some are even coming here to do us harm. But what appears on the surface as a paradise to others from other countries, masks the underlying problems that America faces that can and will destroy her from within.

Several years ago a close relative was suffering from esophageal cancer. He had all the normal cancer treatments of chemotherapy and radiation and appeared to be getting better. But what was going on, on the surface, masked what was going on inside his body. All of a sudden he started getting progressively worse and when normal treatments didn’t work and scans produced no evidence of cancer, the doctors were forced to conduct exploratory surgery on him to find the cause of his continuing deteriorating condition. When they opened him up, they found tiny pockets of cancer riddled throughout his body, but the pockets were so small, they did not appear on the usual scans. He died within a few days after the exploratory surgery as his organs shut down from the rapidly metastasizing disease.

On the surface, America still looks to be a great country and a good place to live, work and raise a family. Unfortunately, the average American has no clue to the rapidly metastasizing, multiple flesh-eating diseases that are eating away and dissolving the organs that make America a great place to live, work and raise a family in freedom.

Yes, there have been numerous minor exploratory surgeries done on America’s “organs” to determine the nature of the diseases that plague “her”, but so far any cure is politically, culturally, or financially improbable because of all those things that divide us.

One of the worst diseases facing America today is “Politicomialga Governmentitis.” People believing in the liberal ideology seem to be much more susceptible to the disease. “Politicomialga Governmentitus” is slow-acting and an always fatal disease and is caused by a cultural malaise known as “Indigenous Apathetico Neuronomiasis.” “Indigenous Apathetico Neuronomiasis” causes people to ignore what government is doing and motivates them to depend on government rather than depend on themselves or each other. People living in densely populated urban areas, where dependency becomes the norm rather than the exception, exacerbates the condition. The condition diminishes as the people are spread out and there are greater spaces between individual domiciles, where air-borne or direct contact infection of these diseases, are less likely.

But government doesn’t want you spread out. They want you crammed into big cities where you will be more easily controlled and become dependent on government, thereby influencing you to vote for those politicians “feeding” your dependency. Self-reliance and independence have become passé, frowned upon, penalized and taxed. Governments don’t like self-reliant, independent people because independent people tend to start revolutions when governments turn to tyranny.

Your entire life is being totally altered by the disease of “Politicomialga Governmentitus”. Here’s how. We attended a conference of real estate folks several years ago in which a bunch of big city, over-educated planners were extolling the virtues of their profession; namely intensely planned, high-dense urban cities with mass transit. At the end of their speeches we asked them if they were aware of the study of rats versus density and what happens to the rats as densities are increased. We knew that the studies showed that higher densities produced hostile behavior, infanticide, suicide and cannibalism in the rats. The greater the density of rats in the rat colony, the worse the behavior. One of the planners responded that he was aware of the studies but he said the studies were flawed. We asked him why and he responded with, “because they didn’t give the rats parks”. His answer was not designed to be flippant. He was dead serious.

The dream of owning a single-family home on a large lot in a suburban area where more space is available to move about and have a sense of ownership and freedom, has been dashed by the irrational mandates of radical environmentalism and the insanity of social justice. These two conditions are a sub disease of “Politicomialga Governmentitis.”

The next most fatal disease is “Multi-cultural, Tissue-dissolving, Meningitis.” This disease eats away at the cultural base of the original indigenous population and the culture that built up around that population. Cultural merging, where there are vast differences in the cultures, produces endless conflict and strife that leads to violence and eventually breaks down the fibers of that original harmonious culture to a condition known as “irreversible chaos.” Inner cities, like Chicago, and the Black Lives Matter movement are symptoms of this disease. Thrusting widely diverse cultures on the American population from the Middle East and Central and South America by the American government, will eventually lead to “irreversible chaos.”

Europe is facing “Multi-cultural, Tissue-dissolving, Meningitis” today and their European culture is evaporating before our eyes. Financial collapse, violence and eventually civil war, are surely to be the outcome. America will suffer the same fate if it follows in the path of Europe, which it seems determined to do with open borders and massive immigration of undesirables, not to mention Islamic terrorists. When illegal aliens from Mexico can raise a Mexican Flag at a Trump protest rally, the disease of “Multi-cultural, Tissue-dissolving, Meningitis” has already metastasized.

Then there is another offshoot of “Politicomialga Governmentitus” known as “Publicus Edu-irrational Propakandaphilia.” This sub disease eats away at the rational mind of children and replaces logic, reason, intellect and truth, making the children highly susceptible to a curriculum of myths, legends and lies. This purposely-distorted curriculum is designed to serve national or international governments, or special interest agendas, like radical environmentalism, man-caused global warming, multi-culturalism, social justice, political correctness, or the one-world-order. Allowing this disease to exist in the general population for generations without a cure, can lead to “Robotitis” and mind numbing, irrational compliancy to group or government demands. This disease kills the survival mandate of the will to resist, or the motivation to question authority. Hitler inserted the effective components of this disease into the German water supply, thereby rendering the entire German population numb to massive human genocide.

And let’s not forget that infamous but not fatal disease of “Entertainimous Retinalosis” which results in an obsessive desire to live vicariously in the exploits, questionable accomplishments and dirty and many times violent deeds of ner do wells, freeloaders and miscreants that appear on a two dimensional, inanimate screen, resulting in the absorption of many hours of brainwashing and mind numbing, nefarious triviality every single day. This debilitating disease can trigger that other malady we described earlier as “Indigenous Apathetico Neuronomiasis.”

We would be derelict if we did not mention the brain disease of “Voteranimous Ignoramous Stupideo, Mental Dimnorosous.” This disease causes people to believe that their vote for any political candidate, president or otherwise, will immediately cure the disease of “Politicomialga Governmentitis.”

So you can see ladies and gentlemen, as you sit around the dinner table at night, enjoying the fruits of your labor, in the company of family, harmonious or otherwise, your America is being eaten alive from the inside by diseases most people never thought of or heard of before, or even named. These diseases are attacking the vital organs of a free nation of individuals from within, where those who should be able to see those diseases can’t because they are blind to reality, or choose to ignore reality because they have been infected with the “Entertainimous Retinalosis” disease. That blindness renders them oblivious to the internal damage going on inside the “body” and one day, highly intrusive, possibly lethal, exploratory surgery will have to be conducted to see if it is possible to kill the thousands of little pockets of “Politicomialga Governmentitus” that are dissolving and devouring the very life blood of America,

The truth is, the disease of “Politicomialga Governmentitus” is sitting at your diner table right now. The disease is influencing what you eat, what you wear, how much you earn, where you live, where you work, how much electricity and water you use, what garbage you can throw out, what kind of energy you will have to use, where you keep your money, how much your money is worth and what you do with your money. It is governing your health care, controlling your land, brainwashing your children and it is wasting your money by the billions through waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. This infectious disease has become arrogant, abusive, dictatorial, and treats your individual, unalienable rights with impassionate, cold-blooded disdain.

Contrary to some optimists who still believe America’s best days are ahead of her, the body of America is slowly dying from internal, metastasizing diseases and without positive intervention, or a miraculous cure, she will die a horrible, gut-wrenching death in revolution, civil war, or abject slavery.

Sure! Life is great in America for now. That is if you don’t look too close and you aren’t “ready to see what really exists on the other side, what exists behind the blinds and under the skin, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.” You can’t cure a disease you can’t see, or refuse to acknowledge its existence.

There are many good things about America and yes there are agencies of the government that work tirelessly to protect us from foreign enemies. But all the good things of America will cease to have any meaning, substance, or effect if “her” vital organs are infected with fatal diseases.

Of course, all of what we have written here is satire. Sadly, most of the readers will toss this off as just another article by another one of the thousands of conservative authors who erroneously think they are making a difference in curing America’s multitude of mostly liberal-ideological-caused diseases. In contrast, at least we are actually doing something about coming up with a prescription to limit the effects of those diseases and not just “talking” about them.

For those of you who don’t toss this article off as more conservative fluff, and if you are one of those individuals that have no intention of giving up or giving in without a fight and have found yourself infected with the disease of “Politicomialga Governmentitus” and would like to entertain a prescription for that disease, you might consider checking out the prescription we have developed HERE.

“I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other committee.” —Lois Lerner, past director of the Internal Revenue Service’s Exempt Organizations Unit

That’s right! Lois Lerner didn’t do anything wrong, or broke any laws, or provided false information to any committee. No, she pleaded the Fifth instead. She, a practiced attorney, decided on her own to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status with volumes of intrusive, prying, intimidating requests for information that were purely designed to stop granting tax exempt status to conservative groups just prior to the 2012 presidential election. This is a well-known lawyerly trick, bury the opposition in tons of paper work, interrogatories and depositions to either run them out of money, discourage them from going forward, or stop them altogether. If that doesn’t work, then harass the hell out of conservative groups by calling in other federal agencies to inspect them, fine them, audit them, or put them in jail. The IRS did that very thing to many of the conservative groups that were or are seeking tax-exempt status.

Now if you believe that Lois Lerner did this on her own and was not directed to do what she did from well up the executive ladder and perhaps all the way to the President, then you believe in fairy tales, Alice-in-wonder land and leprechauns.

Of all of the federal agencies, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the most vicious, arrogant, abusive and corrupt and this is on top of their bloated bureaucracy, gross incompetence and antiquated computer systems. It is a criminal, racketeering enterprise by any definition. The IRS has virtually unlimited power to harass, intimidate, abuse, or incarcerate anyone it pleases and is subject to little if any legislative oversight, as evidenced by the fact that the Department of Justice refused to indict Lois Lerner and other officers of the IRS in the recent IRS scandal, in spite of overwhelming evidence of criminal activity and cover up. And the IRS inspector general, one J. Russell George, is a joke. He should be in jail, along with the IRS Commissioner Joseph Koskinen and its Chief Counsel, William Wilkens.

And if you are thinking that a new president or Congress is going to abolish the IRS, forget it. Congress will never abolish the IRS, as we wrote in a previous article entitled, “Why Congress Will Never Repeal the IRS.” Congress loves the IRS because it very effectively controls you and your behavior ….. on purpose. Americans are in an oxen’s yoke. They just don’t know it.

Sadly, government gets a free pass almost every time. In today’s world, government always protects government. That’s why the DOJ never went after the IRS. It will come as no surprise to this author if Hillary Clinton gets a free pass while a decorated general, with a long, celebrated career, is taken down for far less of a violation than what Hillary Clinton has committed. Hillary is as corrupt as the IRS.

As we stated, the IRS is arrogant, abusive and corrupt. Here are just three documented examples of IRS criminal abuse of taxpayers.

“In June, 1988 Kay Council of High Point, NC came home one night to find a note from her husband, Alex: ‘My dearest Kay – I have taken my life in order to provide capital for you. The IRS and its liens, which have been taken against our property illegally by a runaway agency of our government, have dried up all sources of credit for us. So I have made the only decision I can. It’s purely a business decision… You will find my body on the lot on the north side of the house.’ At the end of a nine-year battle over a disallowed tax shelter, the IRS claimed that the Councils owed $300,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties. When their financial resources were exhausted, Mr. Council committed suicide to provide Mrs. Council with $250,000 insurance money to continue the battle. Ironically, Mrs. Council eventually won a court ruling that she and her husband owed the IRS nothing – the IRS deficiency notice had been sent four months after the statute of limitations had expired. Mrs. Council, 48, said, ‘I was cheated of growing old with the man I love.'” —Excerpt from an article by Randy Fitzgerald, staff writer at Readers Digest, republished in the March 1991 Issue of Reason Magazine. Full story was republished by Devvy Kidd in 2003.

“On March 4, 1976, Clyde H. Allisan and Ralph W. Foster, two IRS agents, paid Smiley a “friendly visit” in the truck-camper he used as a business office in Salem, Virginia. Ten minutes later Robert Smiley was dead from a bullet wound in the head. The IRS men had departed. Behind Smiley’s corpse there was a bullet mark in the wall – but the bullet was never found. At the other end of the camper a gun with no fingerprints was found. $2,000, which Smiley had in his pockets, was gone. Local police reported the death as a suicide. No autopsy was performed. The IRS agents were neither interviewed nor interrogated. No hearing was held. The only IRS official permitted to discuss the matter said that he knew nothing about the incident. Smiley’s close friends declared that the suicide theory was contrary to the known facts and at variance with Smiley’s jovial and good-natured character. A week later five IRS agents seized all the vehicles comprising Smiley’s business inventory and sold them. The Treasury Department refused to answer any questions on the matter. They also refused that IRS agents Allisan and Foster, who were with Smiley when he died, be interviewed. Meanwhile, IRS agents continued to harass Smiley’s broken-hearted, destitute, ill widow to the point that she attempted suicide on October 23, 1976.” —Martin A. Larson from his book “Tax Revolt: The Battle for the Constitution”

In the parking lot was the VW with the Olivers, Stephen and Mona, surrounded by IRS agents and onlookers. The tow truck waited. An onlooker named Freeman was giving verbal abuse to the agents and pointing at them. Photographers and reporters were there, a story in the making. With billy clubs, the agents broke the glass on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle and dragged the Olivers out of the vehicle over the glass. Mrs. Oliver was screaming about her heart medication in the glove compartment. Through the struggle, pills were scattered with the glass. Freeman continued his barrage of screams, ‘Would you look at that? It’s the modern-day Gestapo.’ Photographers took it all in and it was reported in the national news.” —Donald W. MacPherson, tax attorney, from his book “Tax Fraud and Evasion: The War Stories”

These are three glaring cases. But they can’t hold a candle to the millions upon millions of lesser cases that terrorize American citizens every day and make them deathly afraid of the IRS. As we wrote in a previous article, it has been reported that the IRS harasses over 10,000,000 taxpayers each year for mistakes the IRS makes, forcing the taxpayer to spend many hours and lots of bucks trying to convince the IRS that they are wrong. We are in one of those situations right now. Some taxpayers, in disgust, just pay the taxes, penalties and interest rather than fight the IRS. We, on the other hand, are using our own tools to set them straight.

Now some authors will tell you that you don’t really owe income taxes under a strict interpretation of the tax code. They may be right, but many taxpayers have paid a huge price, or even sent to jail, by acting on this knowledge. For the purposes of this article, we are not going to buy into that argument. At this point, we are going to assume that each citizen that earns money from wages or other pursuits owes income taxes, right or wrong. But that doesn’t mean you are powerless to defend your self against the IRS.

It is not necessary to capitulate every time you receive a letter, notice, or demand from the IRS. There are actions you can take to put you back in the driver’s seat. The first thing you need to do is to request more time to consult with professionals who have knowledge in the issue raised by their letter, notice, or demand. You may or you may not consult with professionals, it is just a plausible reason for more time, time that you can put to good use.

Also, you need to tell them in your letter requesting more time that you consider their letter, notice, or demand to be an adversarial act by government and you must act accordingly “to defend all of your rights and interests in law or at equity.” This will put the IRS on notice that you intend to meet them head on and take nothing for granted.

The next thing you need to do within the time period of your request for more time is to challenge their assertions in their letter, notice, or demand. They could easily be wrong because they are wrong a good portion of the time.

Another defense is to question their legal authority and the legality of the law that they cite in their letter, notice, or demand. It is your absolute right to do so.

One other thing: Never, ever engage the IRS in any other form than in writing. Anything they say to you personally or over the telephone, they can and will deny. Anything you say verbally to them, they can and will use against you. The IRS has no honor, no conscience and virtually no continuity from one IRS office to the next. And always send all correspondence to an IRS agent or agency by Certified – Return Receipt Requested, U. S. Mail. That way you will have a record of them receiving your correspondence and you can use that record as a further defense, or in court, if it comes to that. Make sure you note on the Green Return Receipt Card the date your letter was mailed to the IRS. Many times the IRS will sign the Return Receipt but they won’t insert the date they receive your letter.

The date you send the letter then becomes important. Others suggest that any document you send to the IRS be recorded at the county recorder’s office, which requires a notary. It costs a little more time and money, but it is worth it if you have to defend yourself in court.

Whatever you do, don’t panic. Stop and think about your next move. Don’t act hastily, although it is wise to answer any notice from the IRS within three (3) business days. You are dealing with a vicious federal agency that has the absolute power to take everything you own and put you in jail, even if they are wrong. Research and study as many credible sources as you can. When you are sure of your facts, then act and act professionally to let the IRS know you know what you are doing. If you don’t feel you can handle the issue on your own, seek qualified professional help, if you can find help that won’t rob you blind. Stay out of court if you can. The courts are a stacked deck and they don’t always comply with the law, much less constitutional principles. Just ask Doreen Hendrickson.

Now you may not win every time with the IRS, but at least you can look in the mirror with respect and your head held high, knowing you fearlessly and unafraid, spit Goliath in the eye. And then again, by challenging them you just might get lucky and slow them down, hold them at bay, or stop them altogether. As they say, you can’t win the lottery if you don’t get in the game.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are not powerless against the IRS. Don’t get mad at them when they come calling. Get brave, get smart and then get even, “HERE” or “HERE.”

“No oppression is so heavy or long lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.” -Joseph Addison, (1672–1719) English essayist, poet, playwright, and politician

Hage, Hiatt, Webb, Kelo, Strouss, Miller, Amos, Sackett, Lakin and Kilpatrick are just a few of the names of the tens of thousands of Americans who have had to fight alone against government abuse, arrogance and irrational and draconian laws, passed by out-of-touch lawmakers that don’t read the bills they pass, or take the time to determine whether those new laws, or even all the old ones, are constitutional. Or, they had to fight against government agents working under the color of law with no legal authority, or in some cases, actually breaking the law. The government and special interests know that most Americans won’t or can’t fight back. They just go on their merry way as if the general population doesn’t exist and for the most part, it doesn’t.

And if you don’t think that government does whatever it pleases, view this “Fox News” segment on AIG, Goldman Sachs, Timothy Geithner, current Treasury Secretary under Obama and Hank Paulson, previous Treasury Secretary under Bush, during the financial meltdown in 2008. Talk about double dealing with the public treasury, someone or several someone’s should have gone to jail. Will Hillary?

So they just pick us off one by one. They have all the resources to fight us, including the law. They have high-paid lawyers to challenge us in court, paid for by your tax dollars. In other words, they use your money against you.

They have aggressive prosecutors anxious to make a political name for themselves in their pursuit of higher office. (Do your remember the Duke LaCrosse case?) They have aggressive law enforcement to intimidate you, fine you, or throw you in jail on the slightest provocation. The government has been given its head for so long that now nothing will stand in its way, unless people use common sense “tools” against government. Many believe we have gone past the point of no return and that going back is virtually impossible. They may be right. We emphasize the words “may be”.

The courts are essentially corrupt, so you are not apt to find justice there. Since 1938’s Erie vs. Thompkins U. S. Supreme Court decision, constitutional common law is no longer practiced in our courts. They are governed by admiralty/merchant, or precedent law and under the Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC. Lower trial courts are a crapshoot and appellate, U. S. District and Supreme Courts usually come with a significant left-leaning bias that supports what government is doing, or has done. Any redress for grievances, or recourse for justice in America’s legal system, is simply out of reach for most people. There are some exceptions and occasionally the people win, but wins are rare.

Attorney’s fees and court costs will exhaust even significant savings in short order. Way too many Americans have lost everything when they use the legal system to take on the government, at any level. And the thousands of court rules can leave justice buried in the dust, or open to endless appeals. Cases drag on forever while attorney’s fees and court costs mount. Constitutional justice is just an unreachable mirage on a distant horizon.

We know! We were sued for $1,800,000 by a silver spoon back in the early 90’s who thought we and some doctors had done him wrong over the sale of a medical building. It was a totally frivolous lawsuit that cost us $35,000 in attorney’s fees to defend against. Sure we won, but at what cost? We’re not wealthy so we had to mortgage our home to pay the damn attorney who was reaching into our back pocket with every telephone call he made, every motion or court document he submitted without our permission and a whole host of other actions he took which we had not approved. Justice in the American legal system comes at a severe cost, if at all, to anyone who finds them selves in court. But in our case, we hadn’t done anything wrong. That didn’t make any difference. The only “justice” we got from the experience was knowing that the “silver spoon” lost the medical building and over a half a million dollars by his own negligence.

That was our first encounter with the court system. From that costly experience, we were forewarned and forearmed. We were determined to not let that happen again. In fact, in another later case, where we were the plaintiff, we won against a multi-national corporation, pro se. In a third case, we challenged and won against a federal agency. We backed down an attorney who tried to black mail us over the telephone and reported him to the state bar association. He almost lost his license. We did this all on our own without an attorney because you see, we are not afraid to challenge “goliath” if he will not leave us alone and if his unwarranted advances are, illegal, unjust ….. or unconstitutional.

Ladies and gentlemen, the government knows you can’t fight back all alone effectively, unless you are very wealthy, or unless you have the “tools”. They tip toe around those that are wealthy for fear that some court case the rich guy might win, will set a broad precedent that the not-so-wealthy guy can use in his defense. Confidential high-end settlements are reached with the wealthy, without trial, to avoid setting such legal precedents.

We constantly receive e-mails from people who finally discovered what it meant to come up against an intractable, arrogant and fearless enemy ….. our American government, at any level. It might be an eminent domain case where the government is putting a foot on their neck to steal their property at the lowest possible cost, so that the government can sell or lease the land to a developer, to increase the tax revenue from the property. (Kelo vs. New London, CT) This happens all too frequently in spite of the clear intent of the Founding Fathers when drafting the 5th Amendment to the Constitution that requires a clear government purpose, due process and just compensation in eminent domain cases. Today, a clear government purpose, due process and just compensation are whatever a biased, liberal judge decides.

We’ve had calls or e-mails from domestic animal farmers that just had all of their animals confiscated by authorities because some neighbor called in an anonymous complaint that the animals were being abused, or were making too much noise. When the authorities arrived it made no difference that the animals were being cared for properly. They took the animals anyway and in some cases filed criminal charges against the animal owners, even though they hadn’t done anything wrong. In most cases, fighting the government was futile and the kennel or animal farmer exhausted everything they owned to defend them selves in court, or get their animals back. Most didn’t and most won’t get their animals back. Many have gone to jail. We know of one that is currently on the lamb. Perhaps if they had used the right “tools,” they could have prevailed.

We had a call from a lady a couple of years ago that had the misfortune of living on a river where salmon spawned each year. Under the Endangered Species Act, the Salmon Recovery Act and armed with millions of taxpayer dollars, two non-governmental environmental agencies and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife came on her property in the middle of the night and tore out the tide gates that protected her property and replaced them with 13-foot diameter culverts, all in the name of restoring salmon habitat. At the next high tide, her land and her home were flooded. When the tied went out, fish were flopping around in her fields. Her home was flooded eleven times. She tried to fight them but to no avail. She simply didn’t have the resources. The floods destroyed her home and she has now abandoned her property and moved to Idaho where she is trying to reclaim her life and her dignity. The government picked her off and they won. But she might have turned the tables on the government, if she had employed the right “tools.”

Stories like these are going on all across the country but you never hear about them. If all of these tens of thousands of stories were taken in total, made public and told all at once, the outcry would spark a revolution. This isn’t just a matter of a little injustice, this is outright intimidation, domination and condemnation under law, or color of law, one American at a time, by an out-of-control, narcissistic and cold-hearted government that has lost all allegiance to its solemn duty to protect our individual liberties and to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help them God!

Americans now stand at the threshold of running from or avoiding the law because every American has now become a lawbreaker. (See “I Must Keep Running”) But we cannot fight the government one at a time, without the proper “tools”.

In the natural world, the young are eventually weaned from mother’s milk and become self-reliant adults. But it is not so for humans in America and other socialist countries. The question for America is, how do you wean millions of fully grown children who have become totally dependent on mother’s milk (government) and have no intention of leaving “her” side, especially when they can vote to keep the “mother” alive and keep her udder full? And for those self-reliant folk who have been fully weaned from “mother’s milk”, they stand a good chance of being picked off by the “mother”, one-by-one, for daring to criticize her dependent children, or suggesting that those children take a course in becoming responsible adults!

In both cases of the dependent children and the self-reliant adults, each is a slave. The dependent child is a slave to and dependent on the government and the self-reliant adult is a slave to the dependent child whose vote enslaves the self-reliant adult to keep the dependent child in an ample supply of “mother’s milk.” Guess who the puppeteer is that is enslaving the dependent child and the self-reliant adult? If you don’t know the answer, well then, you are probably part of the problem.

This is what America has become and it will be up to the self-reliant, freedom-loving adult to save freedom ….. that is if there are enough of them. There probably are enough of them, if they could ever unite as one, on the true principles of freedom and quit squabbling over petty differences, as is happening in the Republican Party today between Trump and the “Establishment.”

Is this the America you want? Will you allow your government to pick you off, like it has so many other Americans, or will you draw a line in the sand and be fully committed to defend that line with the right “tools?” Your decision and the decision of millions of other Americans to hold firm, will determine her fate. The fight to preserve a free and prosperous America is going to get very ugly. Will most freedom-loving Americans just fade when confronted with the ugliness, the danger, the ridicule, the threats, or the intimidation, or will they stand tall in the face of the enemy ….. for freedom? Or, will they wait until it is too late?

If you have an ounce of self-respect left, we urge you not to capitulate to government aggression. If government comes calling, fight back. Question their authority and the legality of their laws. Show government you are not a push over. Don’t give in, “Get Even With Government, Legally.”

Or, you can learn a little more by viewing our “Getting Even” video HERE.

You could be the next victim. It’s not a matter of “if”, only “when.” Either defend yourself, or be resigned to remain the victim!

“There is no week, nor day, nor hour, when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.” -Walt Whitman American Poet and Journalist 1819 to 1892

Last week in our article entitled, “When Government Comes Calling, What Can You Do?”, we discussed how the American government, at every level, has evolved into a police state by passing millions of laws requiring massive enforcement of those laws, laws that the average citizen couldn’t possibly know in their life time. Everywhere you turn, there is a policeman, a sheriff, or a code enforcement officer looking at you as if you were a criminal, even if you haven’t done anything illegal. But not doing anything illegal has become almost virtually impossible because of too many laws. Many of those laws would never meet a constitutional challenge, but no one ever challenges them, allowing government to make thousands of unconstitutional laws every single day of the year.

In Washington State for example, the legislature, when in session, receives as many as 6,000 pieces of proposed legislation to consider each session in a very short period of time. Out of those 6,000, anywhere from 500 to 1,000 of them will become law. Now multiply 500 to 1,000 new laws in Washington State by 49 other states and the federal government, year, after year, after year and you will get an idea of how many laws have been passed in the last 100 years.

A law not enforced is a toothless law, so government goes to great lengths and great expense to enforce every single one of those laws, day in and day out, with you being the hapless victim. You will comply, or else the long and abusive arm of government will reach out and “get” you.

Unfortunately, the inescapable reality is, government makes mistakes all the time. Government bureaucracies are staffed with people who would find it difficult to get a job anywhere else. Incompetence is the rule, not the exception. Why do you suppose that the cost of Medicare waste, fraud and abuse is over 20% every year? 20% is a big number when applied to an annual Medicare budget of $605 Billion, and that’s just Medicare. There are hundreds of other government programs being run by government incompetents at every level. Waste, fraud, abuse and endless mistakes by government bureaucracies are caused by government negligence and an holeyer-than-though attitude. Bureaucratic negligence doesn’t even include collusion, corruption and crony capitalism.

It makes no difference whether it is a city, county, state, or the EPA, BLM, USFW, DOE or the IRS. It has been reported that the IRS harasses over 10,000,000 taxpayers, every year for mistakes the IRS makes, forcing each taxpayer to spend a lot of time and money to convince the IRS they are wrong. The IRS is very hard to convince because of its giant bureaucracy, incompetent people, ancient computer systems and its almost unlimited power to come after you and make your life miserable, or even throw you in jail.

In addition, government employees are predisposed to intimidating citizens and most people just lie down and roll over for government without questioning their authority, or the legality of their laws. Government does it all the time because they have ceased being the servant to the people and have become the masters of the people.

Government has become tyranny itself, but contrary to common knowledge, the people are not powerless to confront it. It is up to the citizen to tame government, provided the citizen isn’t cowering in a corner out of fear of government’s purposeful intimidation.

Nevertheless, there are ways to keep government in bounds when it comes to each individual’s personal situation. But first you must realize that you have the right to question the authority of any government agent that appears in person, or is sending you a written notice, or is demanding something of you, or is telling you that you are in violation of some law, ordinance, code, or regulation.

Aren’t you just a little tired of being pushed around by an out-of-control, rogue government that has no respect for the law, owns the court system and has become irritatingly arrogant? Do you want to regain your self-respect and feel like you are controlling your own destiny instead of capitulating to government fear and intimidation? Do you have the courage to push back against this vicious bully that has no master? If so, read on. But if you fear government, the rest of this article is not for you.

When confronted by government, many people hire an attorney. But an attorney and the court to which he is loyal, is part of the very “System” you are up against. Attorneys are very expensive ($250 to $600 per hour) and you owe them whether you win or lose. In just 10 hours of work on your behalf, an attorney can suck $2,500 out of your savings account at $250.00 per hour and that’s the low end. Ten hours is nothing when fighting government. How long do you have to work to make $2,500.00 after taxes? Attorneys are taught how to squeeze every dollar out of each billable minute. And because he is paid by the hour, an attorney has little incentive to resolve your issue quickly. From a recent poll, 47% of the people couldn’t even come up with $400.00 if they had to, much less $2,500.00. If you are an attorney reading this, you know everything we have said here is true.

After over 30 years of coming up against government intransigence and arrogance in business and on a personal level, we have developed effective methods to challenge them. Our challenges either slow them down, confuse them, hold them at bay, or stop them in their tracks. These challenges come in the form of four (4) defenses contained in our “Getting Even With Government” package.

These four defenses include our sample 30 (state & local) or 45-day letter (federal), sample affidavits and cover letters to challenge specific allegations or code violations against you, letters challenging government’s legal authority and a letter accusing government of fraud, extortion, violation of your civil rights and violation of state or federal laws and acts. The defenses are contained in a “city, county, state” directory for state and local issues and a “federal” directory for federal agencies.

Will you win against government using our four defenses? We cannot guarantee that you will win every time but you will have the distinct pleasure of poking them in the eye and forcing them to burn up more time, or stopping a specific action against you, or confusing the Hell out of them, or actually forcing them to prove their legal authority. Just think what would happen if a thousand citizens decided to “get even with government”, using one or more of the defenses in our “Getting Even With Government” package, or 10,000, or 100,000, or a million, or maybe even an avalanche of citizens. Since Congress or the state legislatures won’t rein in government and their grossly negligent bureaucracies, maybe a million angry “getting even” citizens will.

Don’t be fooled. One man or a president cannot stop government aggression and tyranny. Only the people can by one individual at a time, defending his or her unalienable, individual rights. Fighting for your rights is infectious and others will follow those with the courage to confront their enemies.

Each of the four defenses in the “Getting Even With Government” package is meant to be a sample only and can be adapted to each individual’s own personal situation, at their discretion. Instructions for the four defenses are included in the package. Once again, the four defenses are samples. They are not meant to be, or are they to be construed to be, legal documents in any manner whatsoever. But remember this: each person has the full right to represent him or her self as their own attorney in their own personal matters, provided they feel qualified to do so. If you do represent your self against government, some will say you have a fool for a client, but it was probably an attorney or a judge who came up with that phrase.

With millions of laws on the books and the explosion of code and law enforcement personnel, the chances of any American being contacted by government for the violation of one or more of those laws, grows greater by the day. If you are having trouble with government in this regard, or think you are about to have trouble with government, you may find some specific answers in our “Getting Even With Government” (GEWG) package. Or, if you know of someone that is having difficulty with government, forward this article to him or her. They will be glad you did. You or they can check out our GEWG package HERE.

But remember this ladies and gentlemen, if you fear government, in fact if you fear anything, they, or it, own you.

“When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, this you may not read, this you cannot say, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy or worthy the motives.” -Slightly revised from a quote by Robert A. Heinlein, a well-known science fiction author

The inviolate duty of the American federal government is to protect the American citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic and to preserve, protect and defend each citizen’s individual, unalienable rights, that is, if the American federal government complied with the mandates of the U. S. Constitution and the battle cry of the Declaration of Independence.

Well let’s just say that on protecting the American citizen from all foreign enemies the federal government has done a half-assed job of it in the last 60 years or so. The battle against the ugly rise of radical Islam has been half-hearted, half-baked and lacking any real commitment to defeat them.

We don’t win wars any more we putter at them. Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya are wars we did not win. We let Putin rub our collective noses in it while he laughs on the back of a horse with his shirt off, displaying his invincible pectorals. We’ve let Iran run all over us.

Radical Islam continues to be an imminent danger to every American and the federal government is derelict in its prime duty to protect us from that danger by crushing that danger at its source.

As far as preserving, protecting and defending the American citizen’s individual, unalienable rights, government has failed miserably. What’s even worse, the federal government and many state and local governments have become the ENEMY of the people. (See “Why Government Is Your Enemy”) Government has passed so many laws, local, state and federal, you can’t open a cupboard door without violating one or more of them.

It follows then, that if government passes a law, government has to have a means to enforce the law. This gives rise to an explosion of code and law enforcement personnel to enforce millions of laws, about which the average citizen knows nothing. These government-employed code enforcement people fan out across the land looking for violations of their precious codes, regulations, restrictions and ordinances. Besides local code enforcement personnel, we have OSHA, ATF, FBI, IRS, Fish and Wildlife, BLM, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers and a whole host of other local, state and federal bureaucracies all having a say in how you live and what you do. We have arrived at a police state.

With so many laws, the people have turned into snitches if their neighbor should be doing something they don’t like. Rather than approaching the neighbor and resolving the issue in person, they turn the neighbor into your favorite Heinz 57 variety code enforcement officer, state or federal, who then comes out and harasses you, even if the alleged infraction doesn’t exist.

These taxpayer-paid code enforcement officers show up un-announced, trespass on your land, question your kids to get free information, take pictures for their file and can generally make your life miserable. Fail to respond to their notices of violations and they will get a court order to force you to comply and then fine the hell out of you. It makes no difference how inane or insane the regulation or ordinance might be. But when they do visit you, they seem to always find an infraction for which to fine you in their never-ending quest for more of your money. You have to prove your innocence at great expense. And if you want to confront your accuser, which supposedly is every American’s right, code enforcement won’t reveal the snitch. We know because we have tried.

This has led to almost every American citizen being deathly afraid of their government. Rather than rising up and confronting the bully, like Americans used to do, they now either lay low, or hide in the shadows, hoping they won’t be the next victim of an abusive, all-powerful, government employee, who is itching to fine them or throw them in jail.

One of our Louisiana readers told us about an event that happened to him while he was restoring a couple of old cars in his carport. The local jurisdiction passed a law that no property owner could have an inoperable vehicle on his or her property. Our reader received a notice from that jurisdiction that he would have to get rid of his two in-operable cars. The complaint probably came from a neighborhood snitch. He thought that the notice was ridiculous and did not comply. The local jurisdiction sent out two tow trucks and hauled his two cars away, without a warrant, or a by your leave.

We get about one of these stories at least once a week from individuals from all over America who find themselves up against an intransigent, corrupt government.

So what would you do if one of your neighbors is “picked off” by the government and fined or sent to jail? Do you say to your self, “I should go help that guy and defend him against our common enemy?” Or, do you say to your self, “thank God it wasn’t me?” Most do the latter.

Government raided the Gibson guitar company with a fully armed swat team from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and forced them to pay up for a violation they say they didn’t commit. But paying up was cheaper than fighting the government in court. Nevertheless, paying up amounted to a $250,000 settlement, a $50,000 payoff to environmental groups, (what!!??) over $2,000,000 in legal fees, plus the cost of the factory shut down from the raid. Oh, did we forget to mention that Gibson is not a union shop but their competitors are? Did we also fail to mention that the owner of Gibson guitars has donated more heavily to Republicans than to Democrats? Who was president at the time of the raid, Barack Obama? Who was U. S. Attorney General at the time, Eric Holder? Gibson isn’t the first company that this pair has targeted, using a federal agency, you know, like the IRS. Gibson had the money to pay off the government ransom because Gibson is a profitable company. Do you have the money to pay a government ransom, or will you end up in the poor house, or in jail?

Very few American citizens have the resources to fight the all-powerful government through the administrative route at an appeals hearing, or in court. And further, the court system is rigged in favor of the government. Just ask those that find themselves in the sights of the IRS. It is no wonder that people lay low, or shake in their boots when government comes calling.

Government constantly conspires against citizens to get what they want, usually to placate a certain constituency group for their votes. Blacks, Latinos, Indians, Muslims, women, or the LGBT community, drive many new laws.

In fact, a battle is raging in several states right now over bathroom laws in legislative efforts by those states to stop any bio anatomical man claiming to be an LGBT from entering the women’s (or girl’s) bathroom or shower, an open invitation to male perverts and rapists. Hug your wives and daughters extra hard every single day for they are in danger. Can you protect them? Your government isn’t protecting them in order to placate 3.8% of the general population that claim to be one of the LGBT community. (Source: Gallup)

The general population mostly has no say in new laws or regulations, unless they show up in droves at public hearings demanding to be heard. Most citizens don’t show up. Federal bureaucracies pass regulations that no one ever hears about and Congress does nothing to oversee the bureaucracies.

Social justice, radical environmentalism, irrational compassion, special interest groups and international influences are the reasons behind most of these old and new laws. Then you have the collusion between government and business (crony capitalism) wherein they collude to pass laws in favor of the business that gives the government more tax revenue, or to promote a government agenda. The government uses propaganda, new regulations, zoning, or eminent domain to get their way. If the people object, they just wait the people out since government has nothing but time and your money to do whatever they want, when they want.

That government evolves into tyranny is not a new phenomenon. It comes about over time when the people are not paying attention to that evolution, or when the people decide that it is easier to be dependent on government rather than being dependent on their own resources. A society, or a nation built on dependency, is a society doomed to fail and doomed to slavery. Dependency obligates the dependent person on the giver. In the government’s case, the price is usually the dependent person’s vote.

But the people don’t have to lie down and play dead for government. We have found in our own experiences when the people strenuously object, the government tends to back down.

Government expects you to be docile and compliant. After all government has spent several decades and trillions of your dollars in producing docile, compliant, tolerant citizens through the public school system and our liberal colleges. Our institutions breed docility and compliancy. Don’t raise your voice. Be calm all the time, even if the other side is egregiously and maybe even criminally wrong. Don’t confront and get angry with the bully, debate him ….. or her, whether it is Iran, some minority group, or an insane person. Debating a bully is either ideological, or self-induced suicide.

Let’s face it. The government wants you to be afraid of them! You are easier to control and manage that way. But if you are afraid of government, they own you. You are a slave by any definition.

Good Lord ladies and gentlemen aren’t you just a little tired of being afraid of government? Is this the America we have become, cowering in the corner and uncontrollably shivering in fear like a scared rabbit? Aren’t you just a little tired of being pushed around by out-of-control, rogue government agencies that many times invent the law, owns the court system, is arrogant and has become the master, rather than the servant? Do you want to regain your self-respect and feel like you are controlling your own destiny instead of capitulating to government fear and intimidation?

Would you like to GET EVEN without hiring a high-paid lawyer that is part of the corrupt system you are up against? An attorney is an officer of the court. The court is just another part of the system that works against your individual, unalienable rights.

Do you have the courage our Founding Fathers had to push back against a vicious bully that has become the American government, at every level? If so, then you are going to find our next article very important, especially if government has knocked on your door. When government comes calling we will show you how to slow them down, hold them at bay, confuse the hell out of them, or stop them in their tracks, legally, local, state, or federal ….. without hiring an attorney who will take your savings and bleed you dry whether you win or lose.

Our last two articles, “An Establishment Always Evolves Into An All-powerful Oligarchy” and “Men In Dark Suits, Blue Smoke and Backroom Deals”, ripped the hide off of powerful, wealthy, ambitious men and for good reason. Still, having done so, it must be abundantly obvious to anyone with half an intellect that the huddled masses and the poor don’t build anything. So if it wasn’t for those same powerful, wealthy, ambitious men, steel wouldn’t have been made, skyscrapers, bridges, locomotives and ships would have not been built, oil would not have been refined into gasoline, fuel oil, paints, resins and nylon stockings, and a largely untamed land would have not been tamed. And if it weren’t for the bold financiers who took the huge risks to fund those ventures, none of it would have been possible.

The days of the railroad and land barons of the latter half of the 1800’s and into the early 1900’s was a picture of good and evil working together to build a nation. America grew at an unprecedented rate during this time under the flag of freedom. It seems that no matter what a man could dream up, he could bring it to fruition in this great land, if he was bold, brave, ambitious, a little greedy and sometimes ruthless.

Railroads crisscrossed the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific and to all points on the compass, built out of the steel Andrew Carnegie created in his smelters, smelters fired by the almost un-limited coal that lay under the ground for anyone with the courage to dig it up. The railroad and the “Iron Horse” became the conduit to passenger people and freight all over America, on a ribbon of steel rails and crossties. Nevertheless, it was no easy task. The railroad builders battled Indians, the weather, landowners and the land itself. Routes for the railroad right-of-way became political battles between states, towns and townships. If these powerful men didn’t border on ruthless, the railroad would have never been built.

John D. Rockefeller turned crude oil into the fuel to power our early cars, ships and light our lamps. Westinghouse gave us alternating current generators, created by the genius inventor, Nikola Tesla. Westinghouse and Tesla gave us light at night from light bulbs created by the prolific inventor, Thomas Edison. Charles Goodyear, a self-taught indigent chemist, gave us vulcanized rubber. Samuel Morse gave us the telegraph and his assistant, Alfred Vail, developed the Morse Code. Ford gave us the assembly line and the car and expanded our freedom to reach out across the land at faster and faster speeds. The horse and horse-drawn buggy, wagon and stagecoach became the victim of the railroad and the car. J. P. Morgan, as ruthless as he was, provided the funds for many of these risky ventures. At one point Morgan even bailed out the federal government.

America needed these powerful men to take it from a wilderness, agrarian society to a civilized nation, all the while increasing the standard of living of every American. Our wealth allowed us to become the most powerful nation on earth. Our wealth and our growing standard of living were the envy of every other nation on earth and still are today.

But with the good, came the evil. Workers were viciously exploited, leading to unions. Landowners were run over as if they weren’t there. Suppliers were ripped off. The land was raped. To stop the railroad and land barons, violence broke out in the form of land wars, riots, robbery and sabotage.

Miners and loggers took the resources from the land and left it scarred and ruined. Hydraulic mining tore the land to pieces and sluiced it down into streams, rivers and lakes, poisoning them. Loggers took the giant trees and left the forest floor littered with branches and smaller trees that were in the way when the big ones came crashing down. After a dry summer, the forest floor turned into tinder dry fuel for out-of-control, explosive forest fires.

To stem the tide of these no-rules, free-for-all industrial and land barons, mining companies and loggers, government was forced to pass laws. Now we are not a fan of laws and regulations but when a group of people harm other people and the land on a grand scale, laws become necessary. To slow the industrial barons down, anti-trust laws were passed and monopoly corporations were broken up. Even so, powerful, wealthy and ambitious men find ways around laws and nothing has changed. It has just gotten more subtle and secretive.

In one of our articles a while back we wrote: “When your vision is clouded by an irrational obsession, the first things to leave your soul are honor, morality and virtue.” If powerful, wealthy, ambitious men are obsessed with being powerful, wealthy and ambitious, in most cases their honor, morality and virtue are crowded out of their soul, if they had any in the first place.

And so it was with the railroad and land barons of yesteryear and so it is today with the men and women of the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, every politician and every powerful, wealthy and ambitious man or woman who seek only wealth and power for wealth and power’s sake. If nothing stands in their way, as was the case during the industrial revolution and just as much as it does today, then the powerful get their way. Our representatives can blunt the power of these three groups but only if the people put pressure on those representatives to do so. The problem arises from the fact that so many of our representatives are card-carrying members of these three groups.

The only thing with enough power to stop them is the people themselves. If the people fear the powerful and wealthy industrialist, banker, politician, or bureaucrat, or they don’t care what the powerful do, then the people can get kings, dictators, oligarchies, corruption and slavery in return. In that event, the people get what they deserve.

The hard truth is, without honor in the people, in businessmen and women, or in politicians, a nation is doomed to burn to the ground from the fuel of its own corruption. We stand on the precipice of that failure today.

What has happened to America and our Constitutional Republic? What catalyst or disease transformed politicians into men and women who have become ruthless and devoid of honor? No, not all men are devoid of honor, but way too many of them are. Why have the principles of freedom and liberty become passé, out-of-date, or just plain irrelevant? How is it we have morphed into the false loyalty of “my party, right or wrong, my party.” That’s Nazi stuff, not American. What on earth possessed us to “spit” on the foundation of our liberties, in favor of what …… Security? Comfort? Entertainment? Have we lost our collective minds?

Why do so many Americans think it is perfectly OK to cheat on auto, fire, or medical claims to insurance companies? And we wonder why insurance premiums are so high! Why do we lie on employment or loan applications? Why do we engage in the consumption of illegal drugs that get people killed on both sides of our southern border? It is Americans consuming illegal drugs that drive the violent drug wars, corruption and the killings in Mexico and America.

The reason for all these things is that many of us have lost our honor. A large segment of our American population has lost it by succumbing to the siren call of a “free” lunch from government, in exchange for their votes, when we all know the “lunch” isn’t free. The politicians have lost honor because, in a representative government, politicians are a reflection of the people who vote them into office.

If we do not value honor, integrity and honesty in ourselves, we will not value those very same qualities in our leaders. In today’s world, those men and women without honor, integrity and honesty continue to be elected to public office. Therefore, by our own choice, we allow dishonor and dishonesty to perpetuate itself. Along those same lines we allow powerful, wealthy and ambitious men to deceive us and run all over us and herd us into pens like cattle and sheep. We are cajoled and manipulated by the media, academia, the public schools and our institutions of government that collude with powerful, wealthy and ambitious men.

Have we become a nation of sheep that does not think for themselves and cannot recognize a wolf when they see it? Have we become so numb to reality by drowning in a glutinous diet of entertainment and self-gratification? Does liberty mean so little that we would sacrifice it out of fear and intimidation of those with power over us? Are we so afraid of the bully that we would let him rule us with deception, propaganda, distortions, lies and sometimes force?

Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot expect our politicians, businessmen, or union members to be free of corruption if the American people themselves are corrupt, or hopelessly apathetic. If the American people are without honor, it is quite likely that those they elect to office will also be without honor. It is folly, if not just plain stupid, to expect our representatives to be more perfect than those that put them in office.

Nevertheless, having said all that, a nation still needs powerful, wealthy and ambitious men and women to create, finance, invest, invent, market and build things. The trick is to keep their power, their wealth and their ambition in check. Laws can’t do that alone. Only honorable people who care about their freedom can do that. After over two centuries of trying, we are failing miserably. As a result, our identity as a free nation and a people and our very sovereignty are in grave peril.

Over the last 10 years we have written over 500 articles on freedom, liberty and property rights through our weekly column. Many of those articles touched on honor, morality and virtue and how they are irreplaceable elements to a free society and maintaining liberty, not in a religious context but from a purely pragmatic viewpoint. You can find those articles on our website by title and date HERE, that is of course, if you care about such things as freedom, liberty, property rights, honor, morality and virtue.

NOTE: The following article was designed to be Part 2 to our last article entitled “An ‘Establishment’ Always Evolves Into An All-Powerful Oligarchy.”

I had a dream the other night. I dreamt that, as a well-known writer, (I said it was a dream) I was invited to one of the secret meetings of the Bilderberg Group, (or Bilderberg Club as they are sometimes called)

In my rather vivid dream, as I was about to take my seat at the conference table where the future of the world was to be discussed, a very official looking fellow with white gloves came up to me and shoved an envelope in my hand. I started to open the envelope as I sat down. As I unfolded the paper, the heading at the top, in big bold, gold letters, read: “The Bilderberg Club”. The letter started out:

Dear Mr. Ewart:

“As you know, this group meets in secret every year. What is discussed here must never leave this room. Should you decide to publicly report on anything that takes place here, you will be discredited from the highest level of government, business and banking. Your books, articles and essays will be black listed in every single venue, worldwide, your family will be hounded, you will never be able to open a bank account or borrow money again and your life will be in constant danger for as long as you live.”

“As strict as these covenants are, we sincerely hope that your attending this conference will be enlightening and we wish to extend to you every courtesy. We trust your experience will be a memorable event in your life.”

Sincerely,

Bla-Bla-Bla,

A memorable event, indeed! I wondered in my dream, could they have this much power? Probably!

I suddenly awoke from the dream in a sweat and started to think about these events. Why would central bankers, defense experts, mass-media press barons, government ministers, prime ministers, royalty, international financiers and political leaders from Europe and North America want to meet in the first place? Why in secret? What would they be discussing?

It turns out that there are highly suspicious connections between these types of groups, like the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group and the Council on Foreign Relations. They have overlapping memberships and similar goals. Two of the groups, the Bilderberg and Council on Foreign Relations, have very strong ties to the Rockefeller Family. Remember. There was another secret meeting of the titans of finance and industry that met on Jekyll Island in 1907 that became the catalyst for the 16th Amendment (1913), ushering in the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service. The incestuous relationships in the banking industry, specifically Chase Bank and Goldman Sachs, is well documented. David D. Rockefeller, now over 100 years old, was chairman of J P. Morgan Chase Bank for many years. J. P. Morgan was so rich he helped bail out the U. S. Government in the crash of 1895.

NOTE: During Hoover’s Administration, at the request of the President, the Rockefeller Foundation funded a study by the University of Illinois and Harvard University on how to manipulate people through their subconscious minds. Why would government do this in a free nation?

THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS: Towards the end of World War I, a working fellowship of about 150 scholars called “The Inquiry” was tasked to brief President Woodrow Wilson about options for the postwar world when Germany was defeated. This academic band, including Wilson’s closest adviser and long-time friend “Colonel” Edward M. House, as well as noted journalist Walter Lippmann, met to assemble the strategy for the postwar world. “The Inquiry” group later became the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). In the late 1930s, the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation began contributing large amounts of money to the Council on Foreign Relations. CFR’s impact on U. S. foreign policy, for right or wrong, is legendary and has been and still is, almost immeasurable. Thousands of politicians, big-bank CEO’s and captains of industry are members of this elite club.

THE BILDERBER GROUP: The Group is an annual private conference of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, established in 1954. The group’s original goal was promoting Atlanticism, strengthening US-European relations and preventing another world war. (Wasn’t the UN supposed to do that?) Their theme is to “bolster a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe”. It all sounds so noble and worthy, except that in 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and, a CFR steering committee member for 30 years, said: “To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.”

Daniel Estulin’s 2006 book “The Secrets of the Bilderberg Club”, describes the Group as a “sinister clique, manipulating the public to install a world government that knows no borders and is not accountable to anyone but itself.”

THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION: The Trilateral Commission is purported to be a non-governmental, non-partisan discussion group founded by David Rockefeller in July 1973, to foster closer cooperation among North America, Western Europe, and Japan. Zbigniew Brzezinski, United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, a professor at Columbia University, and a Rockefeller advisor who was a specialist on international affairs, left his post to organize the group.

Please take note of the Rockefeller connection in these groups.

We happen to know a little bit about human nature and what We know about men of wealth and power does not bode well for anyone below the top of the food chain. As we mentioned in our previous article, the three vices of powerful men are lust, lust and lust; lust for sex, lust for money and lust for power, in no particular order, or gender identity. Examples of all three lusts have “painted” 5,000 years of our alleged civilized history, in living and sometimes unprintable color.

In most cases, once an individual has reached the pinnacle of immense wealth, they usually don’t want to stop there. They either want to increase their wealth even further, or they aspire to power, political power, power over people and power over the masses. It is true that some wealthy, powerful men do give back generously through philanthropy, probably to assuage their feelings of guilt for being so rich.

Nevertheless, wealth and power provide the opportunity to satisfy their lust for sex, which is also characterized by clandestine meetings where the participants are sworn to secrecy on threat of bodily harm.

Unfortunately, history is filled with rich, over-sexed, powerful and sometimes crazy men, exercising dictatorial power over groups, societies, cultures and nations. When men of wealth and political power meet, especially in secret, can the outcome be good for individual freedom, liberty, property rights, or sovereignty of any country? Using any means of inductive or deductive reasoning, the answer has to be a resounding NO!

The fact is, bigness, concentration of top-down power and out-of-control entities has buried WE THE PEOPLE in frustration, confusion and the feeling of helplessness, if not becoming abject debt slaves. America’s Founding Fathers were very concerned about who had control in the federal government and that is why they established the separation of powers doctrine between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Unfortunately, the separation of powers doctrine has been seriously blurred and now it is abundantly apparent that each branch of government supports the other two branches, against the consent of the governed.

From the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

But as government got “bigger,” Jefferson’s “consent of the governed” phrase became essentially meaningless, as our representatives and senators assumed more and more power and turned government service into a lifetime career. In response to government bigness and power, business and labor had to get bigger and more powerful in order to have influence with big government. World Central Banks merged into a colluding consortium to protect their own interests.

Then big government started handing off some of their power and authority to bureaucracies, who then got bigger and assumed more power and authority than was ever dreamed of by the Founding Fathers. Since the “consent of the governed” was perceived to be powerless, special interest groups (socialists. radical environmentalists and one-world-order types) began getting bigger and more powerful in order to have more influence on big government and government policy. As government, bureaucracies, business, unions and special interest groups got larger and more powerful, they began to lose control, became arrogant and careless with their processes, personnel and finances and careless with constitutional limits. They are so out of control now that we hear never-ending reports of ineptness, gross negligence, waste, fraud, abuse and corruption.

So when bankers, industrialists, the press, ministers, prime ministers, royalty, international financiers and politicians get together for a big secret meeting, what would a normal, reasonable and prudent person conclude about what would be discussed? Two specific items come instantly to mind: 1) concentration of their power and 2) manipulation of the masses for profit, behavioral control and for social and environmental agendas that run contrary to the idea of God-given, unalienable, individual freedom. Social justice, environmental protection and man-caused global warming studies, reports and policies are nothing more than smoke screens to the real agenda, control over the money, the property and the freedom of the world’s masses, for the benefit of the conference attendees. To look for altruistic motives in the secret meetings of these persons of influence, is an affront to a rational person’s intellect.

The point that we are trying very hard to make here is that the ultimate power and control is still inherent in WE THE PEOPLE, if the PEOPLE are of one mind and that one mind is based on a solid foundation of the fundamentals of liberty. But we are so fragmented. divided and diverse, becoming of one mind is problematic. Until we are of one mind, bigness, concentration of power in oligarchies and out-of-control entities will be our undoing and our enslavement.

Men in dark suits, blue smoke and backroom deals, as in members of the Bilderberg Club, the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations will, in the end, work against WE THE PEOPLE and eventually erode freedom and liberty, or erase it all together. The war we face in keeping wealthy, powerful and lustful men from dominating and controlling the lives of all individuals is eternal. It is WE THE PEOPLE who allowed bigness and the concentration of financial, political and economic power to become our enemy, by not paying attention and by not fully exercising our right and duty as “the consent of the governed”.

President Woodrow Wilson said in 1919: “We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” The small group of dominant men is called an oligarchy.

This small group of influential, lustful, dominant men will have their way with us, if we refuse to challenge them and dedicate our lives to keeping their three vices under reasonable control.

Here are two relevant quotes from groups of men who meet in secret and plot control of the free world, in their attempts to implement the new-world-order.

“The new world order will be built as an end run on national sovereignty. Eroding it, piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.” Council on Foreign Relations Journal 1974, pg. 558

“We will have world government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” Paul Warburg, CFR & Architect of the Federal Reserve System in an address to the U.S. Senate 2/17/1950

It’s coming unless WE THE PEOPLE stop it.

“When Sulla died in the year 676, the oligarchy, which he had restored, ruled with absolute sway over the Roman state; but, as it had been established by force, it still needed force to maintain its ground against its numerous secret and open foes.” —Theodor Mommsen, Rome Historian 1817 to 1903

It must be made clear from the start that we do not endorse or take sides in the current Republican Presidential race for the White House. We have been less than enchanted with the whole lot of the original 17 candidates who raised their heads above the water to seek the highest office in the land. Nevertheless, we hold a particular loathing of “The Establishment” in either party and fear them more than any one candidate. That “The Establishment” would do everything in its power to derail the will of the people is beyond contempt but quite representative of what politics in America has become today and maybe always was.

Powerful, rich men (and some women) have but one remaining goal in life before they die, seeking power over the masses. Political power is an elixir and is equally, if not more addictive than drugs, sex, or video games. In fact, many of man’s vices seem to appear together in powerful personalities who find themselves hopelessly in search of, or lust after, power, sex, drugs and money, not necessarily in that order. Alabama Governor, Robert Bentley, is up for a recall for an affair with his top advisor. Two recent Oregon governors have fallen to sexual affairs. General David Petraeus, with a long, celebrated career, fell from grace because of an affair and the mishandling of classified information. Bill Clinton lost his law license for lying about sex and was publicly humiliated over his sexual exploits. The list of these political miscreants that have trouble keeping their sexual emotions in check, grows longer by the day. God help some of them if the infamous Manhattan Madam’s (Kristin M. Davis) list of clients is ever made public.

Many politicians use their position of power to obtain sexual favors of one kind or another. Many more use their office in the quest for large sums of money. Politics seems to magnify all of the obsessions, addictions, proclivities and vices of the human male and probably the human female.

An oligarchy is “a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.” That powerful men band together in oligarchies is not a new phenomenon. It dates back to antiquity when the Sumerians invented money and learned they could loan it out at interest. The lender always rules over the borrower. The Sumerians were one of the earliest urban societies to emerge in the world in Southern Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago. Today it’s the Trilateral Commission, or the Bilderbergers, or maybe even the Council on Foreign Relations.

Since then, men have been banding together to form tight nit groups that wield political and monetary power over the people of every nation on earth, from the most backward tribes to the most advanced civilizations. There is only one other entity that is more dangerous than an oligarchy and that is a brutal King who invents his own law and administers it with fear, intimidation, hunger and the threat of death, or death itself. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, or Mao come to mind.

It is an axiom of political power that representative government always morphs into an oligarchy, where a group of men (and women) seek to control all power within their sphere of influence, while at the same time insulating themselves from any accountability. For the last 100 years or more, both dominate political parties in America have done just that. Notice how they always exempt themselves from the laws they pass.

The glue of money-for-favors holds “The Establishment” together and gives it immense power. But be an outsider, dare to be different, or step out of line and the oligarchy will come crashing down upon you like a pride of lions on a gazelle.

An oligarchy is no different than a violent street gang. It just uses different weapons but for the same reasons ….. control. The guns of the street gang are replaced with the political power the oligarch’s wield through the passing of laws and the enforcement of those laws. The laws they pass are in many cases tied directly to their drug of choice, money. The money and lots of it, comes from those who demand favors of the oligarchs. In short, the oligarchy eventually becomes just as corrupt as the street gang and can become just as violent, taking the oligarchy to the extreme of a Soviet Politburo.

“The Establishment”, of either party, is by any definition, an oligarchy. What “The Establishment” fears most is a potential or new politician rising from out of nowhere with the support of the people ….. a man or woman who has no master and cannot be bought. Trump, right or wrong, is just such a man.

With Trump’s rise in popularity, the fear in the ranks of “The Establishment” was so great it could be cut with a knife. They oozed with Trump loathing. “The Establishment” immediately began to close ranks around a plan to prevent Trump from ever getting anywhere near the nomination. The wagons circled and the pocket books opened up to the tune of millions of dollars for super pacs and national ad campaigns attacking Trump. Some in “The Establishment” even endorsed Ted Cruz just to stop Trump, while holding their collective noses.

Many in “The Establishment” are hoping that the Republican Convention in July will turn into a free for all, where Trump and Cruz will most likely lose on the first ballot. In the place of Trump and Cruz, they will advance a candidate that belongs to “The Establishment” and gerrymander the delegate votes to control the outcome. The millions of people who voted for Trump and Cruz in the primaries and caucuses will be thrown to the wolves. What’s left of the Republican Party after the Convention and the November election won’t be worth salvaging. It’s as if the Republican Party has a death wish, split between those oligarchs who want desperately to remain in power, no matter who wins the presidency and those who still believe in the principles for which the Republican Party used to stand.

The Democrats have been so successful in moving America to the left by buying votes that the Republicans felt they had no choice but to follow the trend. But by so doing, they were forced to forsake their principles. Sadly, a politician once in office cares not about principles. He or she only cares about preserving the power and percs of their alleged elected office. They feign concern for their constituents in order to secure votes, but it is all a ruse.

To maintain their lifestyle of the rich and famous, they band together in caucuses to support each other in the pursuit of perpetual power, no matter what the label might be next to their name on the ballot, or the color of their skin. They trade favors and money in that pursuit. “R”, “D”, “I”, “S”, or “C”, it makes no difference.

Those in “The Establishment” exclude and drive out those that won’t play ball. “The Establishment” quickly surrounds new politicians where the rules are explained to them. The explanation comes with a warning to never break the rules, or be banished from the “club.” Although a new politician may start out with an altruistic mindset for the good of the country, that mindset is quickly expelled once the “rules” have been explained to them and they have established their credentials as an “Establishment” club member.

The average voter is under the illusion that their vote counts. It is just that, an illusion. The oligarchy controls the outcome of any election. The Party controls the rules and maneuvers the delegates to get the outcome they want. Just ask Ron Paul. If a politician is a threat to the oligarchy, as they believe Trump is, (and Ron Paul was) he or she will be immediately shunned or tarnished beyond repair, never to seek public office again.

So why is Trump a threat to the Republican oligarchy? He is a monkey wrench in the smooth running gears of the oligarchy. He plays by his own rules, not the rigid rules designed to protect the party’s power. He says what he believes even though he says it like a truck driver in a beer hall. He is not afraid to pull the tiger’s tail and throws political correctness to the winds. He’s refreshing, even if he leans towards the crass and unrefined side. He stirs the pot and makes the party uneasy and worried that he will lose the election because he ticks off so many constituency groups ….. who vote.

Time will tell whether Trump is done in by the Republican oligarchy, shoots himself in the foot one too many times, or becomes President in spite of it all. But what Trump has done is to expose “The Establishment” for what it is, an all-powerful oligarchy that will do everything and anything to maintain its power and the status quo. “The Establishment” cares not one whit about who will be president, just so long as “The Establishment” survives in tack at the end of any election.

“The Establishment”, Democrat or Republican, is part of a corrupt system that has grown more corrupt over the last 100 years. They are the oligarchy. Can the “System” (the oligarchy) be taken apart and defeated? Yes! We describe the “System” and how to defeat it in one of our articles from late last year. In the article we wrote:

The “system” is an intertwined entanglement of interlocking national and international interests of commerce, finance and trade, accompanied by government enablers of the “system” in the executive, judicial and legislative branches. The tentacles of one interest are inextricably interwoven into the tentacles of all the other interests. Finding out what drives one, leads to a complex maze of closed doors, backrooms, deep subterranean caverns and secret meetings. All the sources are purposely hidden and camouflaged. Traces to find the truth go down dead end paths, or are blocked by impenetrable obstacles. Sources of the “system’s” power are elusive and they are anything but constitutional. The “system” exists because of citizen apathy and survives, thrives and grows on the people’s money and special interests.

The “system” can be defeated, just not all at once. It has to be taken apart in small chunks. A small group of dedicated individuals could take on a city hall or the county commissioners. A larger group of dedicated individuals could take on the state. These individuals would have to be prepared to unravel the system in their area through research and study, expose what is going on very publicly and get the people outraged enough to demand common sense changes. These individuals would have to fight to overcome media bias (the “system”), which means they would have to push their message until the media could no longer ignore the “story.”

You can read our full article at this link: “The ‘System’ – Impenetrable, Inflexible and Un-yielding.”

But don’t be fooled. No one man can defeat the “System.” The “System” will not just vanish in the night because some people will it so. It will take the combined efforts of millions of Americans who are of one mind and committed to restoring the true vision of America, no matter what it takes. The time for that to happen has not appeared on the horizon as yet but it will. We only hope it isn’t too late when it does appear.

The Internet has brought an explosion of information to the general public across the globe. Unfortunately, much of the information we get from the Internet, whether it be by websites, e-mail, or on social media, is un-vetted and much of it is misleading and simply not true. Finding the truth can be a real chore sometimes, requiring hours of research and even then the truth may be illusive. Yes, the information flowing unchecked in cyberspace can lead to disagreements from time to time, but thankfully you can’t throw a punch, or pull a trigger, on the Internet.

Nevertheless, the Internet, through all of its medium forms, has provided a conduit for individual expression like never before in the history of man. Opinions, thoughts, beliefs, ideas and images flow freely to tens of millions of individuals in microseconds, every minute, every hour, every day. People of like mind can hook up at the speed of light and organize forums around either specific or general subjects or issues at will. The free flow of ideas, however flawed, is the very epitome of freedom. But what if someone could tamper with this free flow of ideas for a political agenda, or any agenda?

The growth of the Internet has also led to the formation of corporate giants like AOL, Facebook, Google, Instagram, Dell, HP, Microsoft, IBM and thousands of smaller companies. The corporate profits generated by the Internet are in the tens of billions of dollars every year.

Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of corporate giants, awash in cash, is the wielding of great financial and political power to manipulate and exploit the people they allegedly serve. We ran into that manipulative power just recently when we discovered that some conservative authors, including us, are being silenced by a tricky Google tactic (yes, Google) through their web browser, “Google Chrome,” by attaching a Security Alert to any website that doesn’t fit the Google liberal narrative. On the NewsWithViews.com website (http://www.newswithviews.com) Google has attached a Security Alert to over half of the authors that write for this conservative, on-line publication. In further research, we found that other websites offering a conservative point of view have also been targeted by Google Chrome’s Security Alerts.

Google’s Security Alerts advise the reader that the particular website they have logged onto may contain Malware and advised to go back to a “safe” page. The Alert is clearly bogus and obviously done for political motives in a highly charged presidential campaign season. Ironically, these Security Alerts only happen with the Google Chrome browser. We could find no such tampering with other browsers. Who controls Google Chrome? Google of course.

Now, if you are thinking that this is just an isolated incident, or an accident, or a coincidence, or a quirk of the Google Chrome browser, think again. The Google Chrome Security Alert suddenly appeared on multiple conservative articles a week or so ago, right after Donald Trump held up an article from the Newswithviews website and the website received over 3,000,000 hits in one day. One might ask, why would Google do this? The answer is simple and glaring.

The political ties to the Democrat Party of Google founders, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, including thousands of Google employees, is well known: From one source we learned that:

“Few Silicon Valley companies have ever embraced a political party as passionately as Google has. Its executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, has been described as a “kind of guru” to President Obama’s campaign manager, and Google employees emerged as the No. 2 donor to the Democratic National Committee in the last election.”

We were incensed that a major U. S. Corporation would use its power to tamper with free speech and more specifically attempting to silence our conservative articles. So incensed in fact that we penned a terse message to the Google Board of Directors, e-mailing it to their Investor Relations department at the following e-mail address: investor-relations@abc.xyz. We have reprinted that message in its entirety below.

To Google’s Board of Directors:

Larry Page Sergey Brin Eric E. Schmidt L. John Doerr Diane B. Greene John L. Hennessy Ann Mather Alan R. Mulally Paul S. Otellini K. Ram Shriram Shirley M. Tilghman

I am a national author and president of a non-profit corporation that acts as advocates for the American rural landowner. I have been writing a conservative weekly column for 10 years. I have a significant following.

Just recently, I have found many of my articles and many other conservative articles are being tagged with a SECURITY ALERT, for those users using Google Chrome, driving people away from our right to free speech. With specificity, many of the authors that write for the on-line magazine www.newswithviews.com have been targeted for this Security Alert treatment. But Google is also targeting other on-line publications with this treatment as well.

Google’s Mission is, according to the Google website:

Focus on the user and all else will follow.

“Since the beginning, Google has focused on providing the best user experience possible. Whether we’re designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line. Our homepage interface is clear and simple, and pages load instantly. Placement in search results is never sold to anyone, and advertising is not only clearly marked as such, it offers relevant content and is not distracting. And when we build new tools and applications, we believe they should work so well you don’t have to consider how they might have been designed differently.”

Does focusing on the user mean censoring what he or she writes? Is that your mission Google Board of Directors?

If that is your mission, then you are un-American and show a perverse propensity for progressivism, socialism, or even communism. Or, you just want to shut up and silence any other debate except the liberal view you obviously hold.

Google has immense power. With power comes responsibility, or that power descends into absolute power.

Which is it Google?

Remove the SECURITY ALERTS now from your Google Chrome browser! Or lose your stellar reputation via the very medium you exploit to advance a political agenda and make huge profits.

We will be sharing this message with thousands of other Internet users.

Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
http://www.narlo.org

If you are as angry as we are that Google, a great provider of Internet information and services, would under handedly use its immense cyber power to silence opposing views to their own liberal views by electronic trickery, using the Google Chrome browser as its weapon, then perhaps it is time to shut down the Google Investor Relations e-mail address with messages of your displeasure to the Google Board.

It will cost you but a few minutes of your time and you can do it right from your own desktop, laptop, Ipad, or Iphone, using the very Internet that Google is abusing for political purposes. Get creative. Do it today. But keep it clean, pithy and professional. Expletives and pejoratives detract from any message.

Google is a huge corporation with unimaginable financial and political power with direct access to President Obama and his administration. To have any effect at all, this article must go viral. It takes millions of people to make a difference in America today. The Internet gives the people the power and the voices to coalesce around an idea or an issue and overcome the power of giant corporations and government. That is if the people aren’t totally distracted by drugs and entertainment and hopelessly apathetic, like we see on the O’Reilly Factor’s Water’s World.

Will you take action by sending your displeasure to the Google Board of Directors for trying to silence free speech? It is our firm wish that thousands of you will do so. Use your voice to make a difference!

If you did send an e-mail message to the Google Board, let us know HERE. Constructive comments are welcome.

Forgive us for entering into a subject that is best left in the bathroom, but without certain items of biological comfort we could be sent back to the dark days of outhouses and Sears catalogues. With the insanity that is radical environmentalism aside, our lifestyle and its comforts are a direct result of industrial ingenuity in turning trees (a renewable resource) into highly useful paper products from toilet and computer paper, to feminine napkins, Scot towels, packaging and grocery bags, etc., each product making our lives a little easier. Industry keeps coming up with new ideas to turn trees into paper, in all of its various forms. Of course, there are always the 22-year old brain-dead actresses telling us we can get along with one square per event. Obviously she never had a ………………………….., Never mind, we won’t go there.

But oh my God! When you make paper from trees it takes energy and in the process that evil CO2 is emitted. And of course we have to kill the trees to make the paper. That’s bad. But even worse is that we reduce the absorption of CO2 by removing the trees as well, except that we can re-plant trees. That’s why trees are a renewable resource.

Obviously, we must be killing the planet by our hedonistic lifestyle of greed and avarice, especially those rich Americans, and this practice must be brought to a halt immediately to save the planet. The environmentalists and the government tell us it is so and they have brainwashed millions of Americans (including our young school children) into believing it is true, except for a couple of little scientific “things” that the government and the radical environmentalists choose to ignore to promote their green agenda.

Two of these scientific “things” come to mind. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is heavier than air. CO2 sinks. It is a fact of physics. Yes, a small portion of CO2 that doesn’t sink to the ground to feed the trees, plants and plankton, ends up in the upper atmosphere due to churning, but a very tiny portion. Of all of the greenhouse gases, CO2 makes up 0.177%. But what is even more striking in these statistics is that the CO2, supposedly caused by man, is a small fraction of that 0.117%. In fact, the greatest greenhouse gas (95%), over which man has absolutely no control, is water vapor and obviously has the greatest effect on planet warming, or cooling as the case may be, if any, not withstanding the effects of that giant yellow orb in the sky.

So the government and the radical environmentalists would have us believe that a miniscule fraction of a gas, that is heavier than air, a gas that all living things on this planet could not survive without, is somehow heating our planet into a runaway global warming event and we are all going to die or drown, if we don’t repent to the God of Green! If you believe this poppy cock, we question your intellect.

The environmentalists and thus the government, don’t want us to drill for oil anywhere in the U. S., or won’t let us build any new pipelines, power plants, refineries, or dams. Meanwhile, other countries, like China and India are exploiting their sources of energy every day, in spite of their greenhouse gas emissions. But these same insane folks who run our asylum called a government, want to lock up as much of our land as possible from livestock (food), resource extraction (minerals, oil and trees) and people. They then implemented by law, the positively outrageous and questionable practice of turning our food into fuel, (ethanol from corn – Sorry Iowans) thereby driving up the price of almost every food group. Anyone with half a brain could see this coming 30 years ago. Some did and warned us, but the warnings went unheeded.

Let’s follow these events to their illogical and deleterious conclusion. Crude oil is the very foundation of the energy that powers our civilization in the western world. Just about everything is affected by the cost and availability of crude oil. A large fraction of crude goes into the production of fuel for cars, trucks, airplanes, ships and heating our homes and businesses. The rest goes into the production of plastics, paints and resins and many other products, you know, like nylons for women.

Transportation and the infrastructure that supports transportation, is absolutely vital to the distribution of every product we buy or sell, including food. If trucks and trains don’t roll and ships don’t ply the open seas, Albertson’s, Safeway, QFC, Costco, Fred Meyer and a host of other retailers and big box stores don’t get products to sell to you. Have you ever thought of where you will get your food, if your local grocery store’s shelves are empty? Perhaps from your neighbor at the point of a gun, if he has any food and if government hasn’t taken away your guns.

Food is kind of important to survival you know. Some think that if you can’t buy it, then you will have to take it by force. Now of course in such a scenario, your benevolent government would step in, declare martial law, nationalize all food production and distribution and ration it out as they see fit. Do you want to be at the end of the long line of how the government sees fit? How easy it is to control people when you own food and energy production. Could that be our future? Many think it is.

But this all fits a very evil pattern, driven by international environmentalists, one-world-order types, and the United Nations and Europe, in their eternal quest to bring the United States down to a third-world country by re-distribution of our wealth, our property rights and the destruction of our freedom. By driving up the price of everything, the thinking of governments and the radical environmentalists is that you will use less of things and move into cities where you won’t have to drive as far for your food or work and where you are much easier to control by government. And of course they are encouraging you to bicycle, walk, or take mass transit. It’s good for your health you know and the government and the radical environmentalists are very concerned about your health. Hardly!

If the environmentalists and the government succeed in taking away, or outlawing, crude oil and trees, we will be driven back into those days of outhouses, palm leaves and candles. We covered this possible outcome in our fiction story of Jeremy’s one day in the future. The article starts out:

“Jeremy huddled in a corner of the old log cabin, out of the wind, even though it blew through the cracks in the walls and whistled and moaned with a haunting, bone-chilling sound. The sky was dark, gray and menacing. The coming twilight filled him with dread. There would be no artificial light for the approaching darkness and he tried not to think of the long night ahead.”

“Our own oil, coal and natural gas resources had been shut off by the environmentalists and the Obama administration. The entire energy infrastructure had fallen into disrepair. Oil, gas and coal companies had shut their doors because of too many restrictions and exorbitant emission taxes. The wind and solar power that Obama promised would replace fossil fuels, was just one of his worthless, but very expensive pipe dreams, like so many other socialist and radical environmental policies he implemented. Power plants quit running for lack of transportation, energy resources and maintenance personnel. The power grid was ravaged by neglect, natural forces and frequent domestic and foreign terrorist attacks. But that was of no consequence. There was no power to distribute to the grid.”

Throughout history dictators have herded the people out of the countryside and into large cities where they can be controlled to a much higher degree. Remember the Nazi’s Warsaw ghetto? A dictator’s, or a liberal president’s worst enemy is a freethinking rural landowner, who just might start a revolution.

So the next time you have the opportunity to send a donation to an environmental group, or vote for a politician that will do whatever the environmentalists or socialists want them to do, think twice, or maybe four times. You could be funding and voting for your own demise, not to mention the high possibility of losing your freedom and control over life-sustaining food and toilet paper. Right now government controls your money, your land, your water, your food, your energy and your health care. What’s left?

WE THE PEOPLE have a choice, either become the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED again, or be slaves to the GOVERNMENT, where they take your money, your land, your health care and control the distribution of your food and energy.

Imagine what the world would be like if there were no toilet paper, or worse, no food at your local grocery store. A hungry belly has nothing to lose by stealing, looting, killing, or going to war. It is happening in many parts of the world right now. And don’t be fooled. It can happen here!

People who fail or refuse to confront and stop tyranny, are destined to be enslaved by it.

But then, who is going to lift a finger to stop the socialists, the environmentalists and the one-world-order types? Americans could stop this freedom-robbing madness within a few years if there were enough people willing to act and enough money to fund their efforts. Sadly, out of 320,000,000 people and the richest nation on earth, there is neither ….. at least not now. Evidently, things just aren’t bad enough yet, even though half the people are living off the sweat, blood and tears of the other half and the former half get to vote to force the latter half to pay. One hundred years ago, that egregious injustice would have ignited a revolution. But not today where we live in a cesspool of political correctness, irrational compassion, radical environmentalism, multi-culturalism and the liberty-starving ideology of social justice.

NOTE: For the last 10 years NARLO has been trying to get across to rural landowners that they can’t fight city hall alone. Finally, we found an example of where the people of a county decided to fight back against big money and crony capitalism to preserve their rural lifestyle. Their efforts paid off big time. These brave people slew the government-developer dragon. Linda Sheets of Tazewell County, VA provided most of the information for this article. We have added some background material to the article to fill in the story.

Whenever government and business get together and make deals, the public suffers. It’s what they call crony capitalism. Business is looking for profit and the government is looking for tax revenue. Such is the case in little Tazewell County, located in Southwestern Virginia, straddling the West Virginia state line. But crony capitalism and corruption are not isolated to a small county in Virginia. They are everywhere, throughout the political process, local, state and federal. Control this crony capitalism and corruption or it will control you. Right now, they do.

It seems that someone came up with the idea of building a giant industrial park (680 acres) along Virginia State Highway 460. The Park was named the Bluestone Regional Business and Technology Center (“Bluestone”). We haven’t been able to determine whom the individual or individuals are who came up with the plan, but what we have found is that the plan appears to have been the brainchild of Tazewell County Supervisors, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority. But you can bet that there is a developer in there somewhere.

According to the County Supervisor of the Eastern District of Tazewell County, one Charlie Stacy, “The concept of Bluestone is live, work and play,” he said, adding that, “the center will include upscale companies as well as restaurants, a hotel-conference center, a residential area, recreation facilities, hiking trails, and rental cabins and a lodge higher up on the mountain.”

According to Stacy, the county and the other two agencies used a $10,000,000 grant from the Tobacco Commission to build Bluestone. When we say build, it means that all of the infrastructure was installed (roads and utilities) and building pads were graded. That’s it. The park is just bare land with roads water and sewer. Nothing else.

Stacy said that Bluestone was a “wonderful vision for the board” and the grant was the county’s to lose. “You lose that opportunity for the funding if you don’t act,” he said. “Everybody is competing for it. That money would have been allocated somewhere else if Tazewell County had not worked for it.”

Grant funding was also used for much of the remaining $3 million, costing taxpayers relatively little, Stacy added, and the investment will eventually pay off as the economy changes and improves. The word “eventually” is a relative term and could mean anywhere from one year to 100 years.

Unfortunately, this “great vision” of the County Board of Tazewell County Supervisors has sat empty for six years with no takers. It appears that the county threw a party and no one came. This is what happens when government comes up with a commercial idea to raise its tax base. Consequently, county and state government have a costly red herring on their hands and they are working feverishly to cover their collective tales with ordinances to protect that red herring, to the detriment of the local landowners.

To add to the County’s “great vision”, Supervisor Stacy pushed for zoning in the county to allow Dominion Power to build an electricity generator Wind Farm on the ridgeline of East River Mountain, directly behind Bluestone. (Remember: Government is always looking for tax money to pay for their expensive promises in exchange for votes.)

However, the other supervisors on the Board objected to the Wind Farm and passed an ordinance to stop Dominion. Then the Board went farther with another ordinance to protect the “great vision” of their red herring.

The farmers of Tazewell County got wind of the Wind Farm (no pun intended) and started digging into the provisions of the two proposed ordinances. They were aghast at what they found in the second ordinance. Which brings us to what the county farmers did about the proposed ordinances, relayed to us by Linda Sheets, a Tazewell County farmer, in her own words.

Tazewell County is located in the southwestern part of Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. Most of the mountains are so steep that they are inhabited only by deer, turkey ….. and snakes.

In the valleys, beautiful farmland abounds. Some of the farm owners can trace their heritage to a time before Tazewell County existed.

Farming and coal mining had been the backbone of the county until the EPA regulations closed the coalmines. Since most businesses were coal related, there has been a major increase in unemployment rates in the area.

The farms are a major source of income to Tazewell County, and most farmers take great pride in their land. Since there is little employment opportunity, many people have started in-home businesses and several have been quite successful. Citizens are hardworking and resourceful.

Located between the towns of Bluefield and Tazewell on SR 460 is the 680 acres, $13,000,000 Bluestone Industrial Park that has been vacant for the six years since it was built. One business that showed interest in the Park was a dental school that could not procure funding.

Statements made by the purveyors of Bluestone inferred that only high-end companies would be accepted in the park. (Ladies and gentlemen, high-end companies are moving offshore due to lousy trade agreements that eliminate American jobs.) A housing development, recreation area, lodging and, cabins, an upscale restaurant and meeting center are also planned in part of the park. Obviously, if the County Supervisor’s (Charley Stacey) plans materialize, this park will be for the elite. It will have draw on an employment base that is mostly outside of Tazewell County.

Other businesses such as B.P. and Dominion Resources wanted to build a wind electric generation farm on the East River Mountain, but members of the Board of Supervisors led the charge to protect the beauty of the mountain and the home of the snake. The County turned down the $23 -25 million dollars offered by Dominion and passed a tall-structure ordinance to rid the county of an “undesirable” development.

A few months ago Board members announced that another ordinance was needed to protect the park from “undesirable” business, especially from the Wind Farm.

We thought that the tall-structure ordinance was all that was needed. Being skeptical however, some of us attended a planning committee meeting and were shocked to see that the zoning was on farms and that the plans for the farms were to phase some of them out and replace them with residential use.

In-home businesses were to limit the number of their customers. The farmers were told the hours that they could operate their business. UPS and FedEx would be limited to the number of packages delivered to homes. The number of cars parked in a driveway was limited, restricting large family gatherings. The size of trees and shrubbery was specified. Even restrictions were placed on churches. Owners of older homes that could not meet the code would be fined.

Thank goodness Bill Osborne, the president of the Farm Bureau Federation, and some of the Farm Bureau members were also present at the meeting. As word spread from farmer to farmer, people began to question the motives of the Supervisors and the need for the new zoning called for in the proposed ordinance. They began to feel betrayed and angry. Some called the action akin to communism.

As the time for the meeting approached, so did a blizzard. Many people had to remove snowdrifts before they could attend the meeting. They were determined as many of the farmers felt that they were going to lose everything that had been in the family for generations if they did not stand up.

It was estimated that six hundred people attended the meeting. Seventy spoke with only four or five in favor of the new zoning. Emotions were high. Although people acted with restraint they made their feelings clear. They were not going to give up their rights to use their land as they saw fit. They pointed out that the members of the Board and members of the Planning Commission would not be in office after the next election. It was democracy in the purest form. Informed people stood together, united in a common cause to fight for their freedom. The next day the headline in the newspaper read “Ordinance Scrapped.”

Is it over, I would like to think so, but I have my doubts. Farmland is being transformed into residential and commercial uses at an alarming rate all across America. When outside developers are involved, farmers suffer. We have learned from our ordeal that we must always be vigilant. We will make an effort to be informed; we will attend meetings to see for ourselves the topics of discussion. We have learned that there is power in numbers and that we must stand together to protect our freedom.

The landowners of Tazewell County found the formula to protect their interests and that formula was to find out what their government was doing and then stand up in large numbers in opposition to what government was doing when it conflicted with the people’s rights.

The landowners of Tazewell County did something. They acted. They didn’t just sit on their hands or pretend the enemy wasn’t there like most Americans do. And they even had to travel through a blizzard to punctuate their displeasure with government. What they did was to beat government at the local level and that is no small task. Because you see ladies and gentlemen the simple fact is, “life is a continual struggle against competing interests. Either protect your interests, or the other side wins.”

THE LANDOWNER’S FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE:

Ladies and gentlemen, the actions taken by the Tazewell County farmers are what all landowners in America need to do if they have any hope of protecting their Constitutional property rights. But rural landowners must also realize that their property line is their first line of defense. Government agents and law enforcement, at every level, believe they have the right to come on your property anytime they wish, for any pretense. They are wrong in that belief. The truth is, each landowner has the constitutional right to exclude anyone from their property, including government agents and law enforcement and that right is fully supported by law precedent. The language from that law precedent appears on NARLO’s new RIGHT-TO-EXCLUDE No Trespass sign. This new sign is a companion to our powerful, legally intimidating, constitutional 18” x 24” No Trespassing sign. Thousands of our signs have been installed on rural lands throughout America. The fact is, land that is not posted with No Trespassing signs is essentially open to all intruders, including government agents and law enforcement. There has to be constructive notice of the right to exclude and our signs provide that notice. To learn more about your first line of defense and NARLO’s valuable No Trespassing signs, click on the links in this paragraph.

“The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.” ~John C. Calhoun

Many years ago, as we entered the 20th Century, we were a different stock of people. We were defiant in our freedom and we rejected or purged what we considered infringements on that freedom. We didn’t let important things slide or look the other way like we do now. The truth is, had government instituted all the laws and restrictions it has now placed on the people of America, but they had done it 100 years ago all at once, there would have been a revolution that would have made the American Revolution and the Civil War pale in comparison. Has government become the enemy of the people in some ways? It would seem so.

But ladies and gentlemen, you cannot fight an enemy if you cannot see him. You have no defense if you are surrounded in darkness but your enemy controls the light. You have no options if you cannot pierce the veil of your enemy’s deceit. There is absolutely no defense if you cloak yourself in ignorance, or convince yourself that the enemy is not there. But rest assured, the enemy is lurking just outside your door and your door will not protect you or your children from government coming inside and destroying your blind tranquility that you thought was freedom. The American government is now all-powerful. They own the law and the capability to enforce it, by whatever means and they are determined to do it. You will be subjugated or you will be fined, or you will go to jail, or you may just disappear.

That enemy is knocking on your door right now but you don’t know it, or choose to ignore it. And if you don’t open it, the enemy will break the door down and come in anyway. They will take your children away and put them in government-run indoctrination and propaganda schools, just as Japanese Americans were locked up in internment camps at the start of World War II. But wait a minute! Your children are already in federal government-run indoctrination and propaganda schools, or didn’t you know that? What do you suppose Common Core State Standard education, or collectivism, or political correctness, or multi-culturalism, or the one-world-order represent?

The difference is, you have willingly given your children to the state and are exposing them to that indoctrination and propaganda without so much as a whimper in opposition. You have been doing it for decades. The government uses the public school system and colleges to institutionalize an agenda and that agenda has nothing to do with the three “R’s”, reading, “riting” and “rithmetic.” That agenda is to make all of our school children into compliant adults that won’t complain when they are oppressed, or will act as snitches to the government if a “maverick” reveals him or her self. Hitler would be proud.

Now, the people have allowed government to become so powerful, they fear its wrath. We have let frontier justice, wherein we did not fear government, morph into absolute power by government in a police state where we are deathly afraid of government. People are hesitant to raise their heads above the noise level for fear it could be chopped off, figuratively speaking of course. Our lives are comfortable and we are very reticent about upsetting our precarious apple cart. But those who fall afoul of the law through no fault of their own cannot escape the long hand of government by hiding in the shadows. They become sacrificial lambs to government’s power and those in close proximity to the victim scurry for cover, saying to themselves “….. thank God it wasn’t me”. This is equivalent to running from the battlefield while the real heroes hold the enemy at bay, or advance upon the enemy. The federal government is reading our articles and rifling through our website all the time. We have put ourselves in danger just for writing this.

Those that continue to say that America’s best days are ahead of us are delusional. Its best days can hardly be ahead of us, if the last three generations have been brainwashed in the public school system, a school system that has dumped out millions of dunderhead idiots that believe everything the government tells them, including the fraud that is man-caused global warming. Why else would millions of Americans vote for a Barack Obama, a Hillary Clinton, or a Bernie Sanders?

And you have to go through 100 or more colleges to find one that isn’t loaded with liberal professors that have consumed gallons of the socialist-laced Cool-Aid. Most of the press has gone liberal.

But hey, what’s the problem? Life is good in America. Most people aren’t going hungry and the poor do better in America than anywhere on the planet. Only 93,000,000 people don’t have jobs and have given up looking. But that’s OK, they are just living at the expense of the dumbed-down compliant taxpayer that is afraid to open his or her mouth for fear the government might raise taxes even more.

So what if the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other federal agencies are coming down hard on the rural landowner. What does the urban dweller care if a few ranchers and farmers lose their land or their way of life to abusive government agencies that don’t recognize or ignore the law.

So what if the national debt is at $19 Trillion and headed to $33 Trillion in 10 years? America’s rich. It can pay the debt back by just raising taxes, or printing more money. Can’t it?

So what if ISIS is sending terrorists into the U. S. to do us harm. We’ve got the FBI. They’ll get ‘em. Won’t they?

So what if the government has been decimating our military readiness to the point where we may become vulnerable to attack by another super power, or some Islamic splinter group like ISIS or Al Qeada that don’t fear us any more.

So what if illegal aliens are flooding across the border and filling up the welfare rolls and getting “free” money from the government for children living in Central or South America? So what if some of the thousands of those illegal aliens have evil intent in their hearts, or will vote Democrat?

So what if Obama Care is going broke and is on its way to bankrupting America. No big deal! America is a rich country. We can afford it. Can’t we?

So what if all of our jobs are being shipped offshore in international trade deals that provide better benefits to foreign countries than they do to American workers and American interests? It’s OK if we reduce America to a third-world nation. We deserve it. After all, America is bad ….. in the Liberal’s mind.

So what if the student loan debt is over $1.2 Trillion and could be the next bubble that drives America back into recession, or depression, or bankruptcy. You can’t pay the loan if you don’t have a job.

So what if millions of Americans live on food stamps and are getting many kinds of aid from the government, paid by the ever-shrinking taxpayer? Pretty soon there will be more people in the wagon than those pulling the wagon and those pulling the wagon will join those in the wagon. Then the wagon will stop and the people in the wagon won’t know what to do, especially if the wagon is rolling backwards and picking up speed.

So what if every government agency, at every level, is systemically corrupt, where Constitutional fundamentals are purposely ignored. The people aren’t watching. They don’t care what the government does.

Sure, millions of Americans know of these different problems, but then what can any of them do about it? The problems are just too big to try to solve them, aren’t they? It’s hopeless, so why even expend the effort? Why indeed! Because if the effort is not expended, there will be no more free America where life is good and everything is just peachy. We will just become another third-world nation where everyone is scratching to stay alive except the very rich and government becomes a dictatorship, declares martial law, suspends the constitution (if it wasn’t suspended already) and rations everything, you know, like food, gasoline, tires and toilet paper.

So many people are looking for a cheap way to reclaim freedom. Or, they are wishing for a savior that will sweep the bad guys out of the way and open the door to freedom so they don’t have to lift a finger. That’s why so many people are looking at Trump because they think he is that savior. They are delusional. One man can’t save America from committing suicide.

The hard truth is, there is no John Galt, or a Ronald Reagan, showing up on the scene to set America right again and restore her values, her strength and her liberty. The people are going to have to reclaim America all by them selves, that is, if they aren’t totally brainwashed by the public school system and the liberal colleges. And if they do decide to take the plunge, it’s going to take millions of them to do it. Unfortunately, most people just like to talk or write about freedom. Very few ever get in the game, or pick up a sword. Thomas Paine called these people “Sunshine Patriots.”

In spite of what Americans are up against, they don’t have to resort to frontier justice “…. to set the country right.” The tools to win were handed down to us from our Founding Fathers in the form of a Constitution that took our natural, God-given, individual rights and codified them into the law of man. All we need is the courage to fearlessly proceed under those essential tools of freedom and restore the vision of those great men for our time and our children and grandchildren’s time, unless we cower in fear, or refuse to challenge authority because of that fear. In a Constitutional Republic, the people have the power but only if they choose to exercise that power.

The sad reality is, you can’t take on a powerful government without a large group of smart people and lots of money, just like an army can’t take on an enemy without soldiers, weapons and money ….. lots of money. Government has the law, the attorneys, the courts, the police and your tax money to fight you. They won’t go quietly into the night.

It is abundantly clear that Americans can’t restore America at the ballot box. Knowing that, we have come up with a Plan containing three viable components to get around government’s power and the vexing problems we all face. We have uploaded a brief description of this Copyrighted Plan to our website HERE. Our solution is not dependent on which party controls Congress, or who sits in the White House. But our Plan and its viable components won’t happen without the people and it is certain that: “There will be No People, There will be No Organization and There is No Solution ….. Without the Money!”

Of course, you won’t be looking for a solution if you can’t see or won’t admit to your self that there is a problem, or if you fear government, or if you don’t care.

We do care, but it isn’t enough just to write weekly articles, which we have done for the last 10 years. We have tried for five of those years to get people to “get in the game” and make a difference and even take up the sword if need be. We are “in the game.” What about you?

“A person whose house is only open on the west can’t see the Sun rise at dawn. It’s only seen when the Sun sets at dusk. If one tries to compare the color and appearance of the two, one will go on arguing forever. The fault lies not with the vision but with the closed windows. If you look out of only one opening till the day you die, you’ll never see anything new.” -Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay

Now most of our readers don’t know Robert Berger. However a few conservative authors have felt the sting of his acrimonious criticism. He is a died-in-the-wool, set-in-stone, rabid Democrat New Yorker that takes a perverted pleasure in critiquing conservative articles from his distorted, socialist, Democrat point of view. Over the years we have saved several of his rants just to get an idea of where the other side stands on the issues, even though where they stand is one of the reasons that America is in so much trouble on so many different fronts. Here is just one response to one of our articles from Mr. Berger:

“Sir: You are a complete and utter imbecile! Barack Obama is NOT a “fraud and a phony!” In fact he is probably the best thing ever to happen to America, the greatest president in US history and the man who has saved America from near destruction at the hands of the GOP, the imbecile George W. Bush and the de facto former president, the monstrously evil Dick Cheney, who makes Benedict Arnold look like a saint!

“Donald ‘Chump’ is a crude, vulgar, loud-mouthed POS who has no more business being president than Kim Kardashian.”

“He is a lousy businessman whose businesses have consistently gone bankrupt. Anyone who thinks he would be a good president is an idiot! Not one of the GOP candidates is even remotely fit to be president and each one would be absolutely catastrophic for this country and the world!”

“Hillary Clinton is America’s only hope – we cannot afford to elect another GOP imbecile president next year.”

“You are more full of it than all the sewers of the world combined! The GOP has been hijacked by the Christian lunatics of the religious right and has become the most evil, corrupt and dangerous organization on the planet. Who needs Iran, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS to destroy America now that we have our own Christian Taliban in our own back yard? Wake up, dude!”

We do not know Mr. Berger’s age, ethnicity, or where he grew up, so we do not know what has shaped his opinions and beliefs. Mostly what Robert Berger wrote in his other rants was not fit for print and was a transparent window into his soul. Rather than logically debating the issues we raised in an article, he resorted to generalities, coupled with ample vitriol, invectives and expletives not deleted. It fits well with the Democrat MO of demean, berate, or silence the critic if you can’t debate the issue.

It would be pointless to cover those issues in the above rant that are factually challenged. Suffice to say, Robert Berger represents the mindset of the millions of people on the Democrat/Socialist side of the American political divide that would vote for a corrupt Hillary, or socialist Bernie.

That there is an ideological divide in America is abundantly obvious to anyone that is paying attention.

The contrast between the two opposing sides is stark indeed and growing wider. The Democrat/Socialist wants the government to control, manage, regulate, take your money to buy votes and enslave you. The Conservative wants to be left alone by his or her government to create, work hard, prosper and be generous when he or she does prosper. The Conservative wants government to confine itself to the limited powers contained in the Constitution. It isn’t.

But that’s not the point. The point is, when one ideological point of view takes hold in the American mindset, the nation is shifted in that direction. Today, the Democrat/Socialist controls the national mindset and has the majority votes. That they have the majority votes is no accident. It was part of the plan when the Progressive Movement took hold in America over 100 years ago that led to the 16th Amendment, the New Deal, Social Security, farm subsidies, the War on Poverty, Medicare, Medicaid, radical environmentalism, massive regulations and now Obama Care.

President Wilson, a Democrat, and the bankers gave us the 16th Amendment that appears to violate three sections of the Constitution. FDR, also a Democrat, took advantage of the Great Depression and the people’s vulnerability during difficult times, to ram through as many unconstitutional socialist policies that he could in his three terms in office, under the Democrat banner. President Johnson gave us the War on Poverty, which has obviously not been won.

Obama has done much the same with equal fervor and for the same reasons. Obama Care is one of Obama’s most cherished achievements that he accomplished with the help of all the Democrats, without a single Republican vote.

The question we raise in the title more broadly approached is “how do we convince over 100,000,000 Robert Berger’s, that have the majority vote, that the side they are on has done more to harm America than it has to done to help it.” That is no small task because once an idea is planted in a person’s “Little Black Box”, it takes an act of God to undo that idea, especially if they have grown up with it, or are profiting from it, as are millions of Americans. It’s even worse when a political party promotes that idea through propaganda, lies, distortions, myths and unconstitutional legislation to maintain political power, with the aid of the media, academia, the public school system and the public treasury.

We covered our “Little Black Box” theory in an article dated October 28, 2012, wherein we wrote:

“The ‘Little Black Box’ theory explains many facets of normal and abnormal behavior in the vast majority of humans. It explains radical Islam. It explains a Hitler, a Stalin, a Mao, a Mussolini, a Saddam Hussein, a Gaddafi and a Bashar Al-Asad (current brutal dictator of Syria) and it even explains an Obama. a Putin, or a Trump. But it also explains why we are Democrats, Republicans, Baptists, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Mormons, communists, socialists, Marxists and a whole host of other belief systems. We are who we are because we have been “shaped” that way by genetics and by our immediate environmental influences at an early age. Unfortunately, none of this content in the ‘Little Black Box’ is as a result of our own personal adult choices.”

In the “Little Black Box” theory, it makes no difference what the idea is, or which political party the idea is aligned.

At some point it becomes necessary to look closely at the two sides and determine which side has provided the greatest benefit to society, in keeping with the principles upon which America was founded. Any analysis of the two sides will prove beyond a doubt that the Democrat/Socialist side has done more to damage America’s core foundation, its financial stability, its human fiber and done more to reduce liberty, than the conservative side. It was the Democrats in Congress that tried to block Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 14h Amendment and it was the Democrats that founded the Klu Klux Klan. Why the Black race has aligned itself with the Democrat Party is unfathomable. It is the Democrat/Socialists that have written and passed every piece of social legislation, including the Internal Revenue Code, a Gestapo-style collection agency.

But even logical arguments will not sway someone who is emotionally, illogically, or genetically locked in a particular mindset, like Robert Berger. What’s in their “Little Black Box” is a closed subject and will only be changed under extreme circumstances.

Since logical arguments won’t change what’s in the “Little Black Box”, it obviously follows that it will take extreme circumstances to alter their convictions. What circumstances can we envision that would make that change? A financial collapse of America would have a tremendous impact on the American socialist mindset, since the government largess that is propping up socialism and the votes to maintain it could vanish. A major violent conflict with one or more nations could have a similar effect, although less so. We have been through wars before and it has not altered the trajectory of the Democrat/Socialist movement in America that the Robert Berger’s of the world so freely espouse.

There have been many attempts by well-meaning individuals and groups to stop the slide into socialism. Many of these individuals and groups are still active. But it is readily apparent, that slide has not been arrested from those attempts. Rush Limbaugh, a powerful and influential conservative radio talk show host, has been on the air for going on 27 years and nothing has changed, except Limbaugh getting richer.

America hasn’t reached the point of a civil war or a revolution yet, so what else could peacefully return America to the rock hard principles of a Constitutional Republic that preserves, protects and defends our liberty? The votes aren’t there, so it simply can’t be done at the ballot box, no matter who is president.

There is really only one peaceful way and it has to be done by the people themselves. The people have to begin to unravel the corrupt, good-old-boy, entrenched, legislative, judicial-political “system” that has brought America 100 plus years of growing socialism, declining freedom and perpetual Democrat/Socialist strangling control. We covered some of this in our article entitled, “The System – Impenetrable, Inflexible and Unyielding.”

Those people that are voting for Democrat/Socialists certainly aren’t going to do it. It is left then, to those who are fully aware of what is at stake and will give their all, in large numbers, to start breaking the “system” down.

It is almost impossible to start breaking down the federal “system” in that it is too powerful, at least for now. The effort to dismantle the “system” must begin at the county and city level (with one notable exception) and then grow to the state and federal level as victories are celebrated in local jurisdictions,.

We first announced a three-prong plan to dismantle the “system” at the local level in our last article. We had a little over 150 visits to the web page we created for it, but only one person decided that the Plan was worthy of a response. If people don’t finally realize you can’t buy freedom on the cheap, or for nothing, the “system” will remain in tack and growing more corrupt by the day. Our Plan, fully implemented, will begin to tear away at the corrupt fabric of the “system” and it makes no difference who is President, or what party is in control of Congress.

We encourage you to take a look at what we are proposing by clicking HERE. We are serious about defending freedom. Are you? We can guarantee you, Robert Berger and his 100,000,000 plus Democrat/Socialist compatriots, who are in the majority, have no interest whatsoever in maintaining and preserving individual freedom. Their only interest is in preserving their political power that maintains the conduit to their “free” stuff, by the same means that Robert Berger employs ….. demean, berate, or silence their critics.

The Democrat/Socialist Party of America believes in and promotes the collective, not the individual. That belief is in direct conflict with individual, unalienable, natural rights as written in blood in the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. That false belief is the antithesis of liberty.

Preserving freedom is up to the millions of those who will put everything on the line with courage and conviction, as did those brave men who founded America at great cost, in revolution, over 200 years ago. Hopefully, freedom-loving Americans will not have to repeat that act to save America from committing intentional, national suicide. Unfortunately, very few people ever see tyranny coming until they are fully enveloped by it, when it is too late to do anything about it but fight and die.

“In Paris, I found myself surrounded by Germans; they were all over the place. They played music, and people would go and listen to them! All along rue de Rivoli, as far as you could see from place de la Concorde, there were enormous swastika banners five or six floors high. I just thought, this is impossible. Imagine that someone comes into your home—someone you don’t like—he settles down, gives orders: ‘Here we are, we’re at home now; you must obey.’ To me that was unbearable.” —Pearl Witherington Cornioley, Code Name Pauline: Memoirs of a World War II Special Agent

The French found themselves occupied by German forces that spawned the French Resistance. Many of those in the Resistance paid with their lives in fighting a guerilla war against the Nazis. They would have lost that war, to a man, had the U. S. not stepped in to defeat Germany and Italy in World War II.

Now, many farmers and ranchers in America are discovering that there is someone they don’t like settling down in their “home” and giving orders they must obey. That this event would spawn a resistance, especially in the West, was not too hard to predict. This semi-silent resistance, starting with the Sage Rebellion in the 1970’s, culminated in an armed standoff at the Bundy Ranch in Southeastern Nevada on April 12, 2014 where at least 400 civilians, some of them armed, confronted around 200 heavily armed Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agents over rancher, Cliven Bundy, continuing to graze his cattle on federal land without paying the fees and in violation of two court orders.

The Nevada standoff, which resulted in an unexpected BLM stand down, was the kindling and the spark that lighted a fire for further open resistance against rising government intransigence in the management of federal lands that spilled over onto adjoining private ranch lands and the century-old tradition of raising cattle in America.

When Steven and Dwight Hammond, Oregon ranchers, were accused of arson and sent to jail for five years on trumped up terrorist charges by the BLM, another spark hit the tinder dry desert that resulted in the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Reserve in Oregon by none other than Cliven Bundy’s two sons, Ammon and Ryan Bundy. The two sons were accompanied by a couple of dozen other armed militia and ranchers that had had enough of BLM bullies and decided to punctuate their displeasure with the display of guns in an open challenge to the FEDS.

One of those ranchers was Lavoy Finicum who was gunned down by law enforcement at a roadblock on a rural Oregon highway. Some say Finicum was murdered to silence him because of his open defiance of government on his own ranch. The rest of the Bundy crew that occupied the Malheur Wildlife Preserve have been arrested and charged with multiple federal violations. They are now in jail facing trial.

When Cliven Bundy flew to Portland to be with his two sons who were in jail from the Malheur Wildlife Preserve standoff, the FBI arrested Cliven at the Portland Airport and charged him with multiple federal violations connected with the armed standoff in Nevada in April 2014. Why they waited so long to arrest Bundy has yet to be disclosed by the FBI.

All of the Bundy men are now in jail. A Federal judge has ordered the Bundy’s to be extradited to Nevada to face 16 federal charges in connection with the 2014 event. This will be on top of the charges brought against the younger Bundy’s and others from the Oregon event. Cliven Bundy was denied bail by an Oregon federal judge, stating that the elder Bundy was a flight risk.

U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden expectedly said, “Persons who use force and violence against federal law enforcement officers who are enforcing court orders, and nearly causing catastrophic loss of life or injury to others, will be brought to justice.” [Link]

The Bundy’s and the other participants in the Oregon standoff, will no doubt go to jail for a very long time.

We will set aside for the moment that what the Bundy’s did in either event was a direct violation of law and court orders. Nevertheless, what most can’t seem to grasp, except maybe rural landowners, is that the Bundy-led events in Nevada and then in Oregon, are bigger than the sum of those events. They were and are a totally predictable equal and opposite reaction to the rise of government tyranny, driven and motivated by national and international radical environmentalism, ala Agenda 21. The name “Bundy” has become synonymous with an almost totally Western mindset that epitomizes a national resistance movement against environmentally motivated tyrants.

But the FEDS are determined to silence the Bundy movement and nip any spot fires from it, in the bud. They will, through the courts, make an example out of the Bundy’s for all those who might consider taking on the big bad vicious wolf, known as the federal government. The trials for these men will be closed to the public. News of the trials and the verdicts could be buried on page 23, if they appear at all. Or, maybe the opposite will be true in the FEDS attempts to scare off any would-be Bundy wannabes, you know, like Waco and Ruby Ridge. The Bundy’s, for all intent and purposes, will be silent martyrs of an American resistance movement that the FEDS hope will fade into obscurity.

No, America has not morphed into the German Third Reich. There are not Socialist Banners hanging on the side of buildings anywhere in America, or giant images of Obama. The Nazi SS, or storm troopers, do not occupy the streets of America ….. yet! We fully acknowledge that. But tyranny comes in many forms and rises at different rates. In Germany, the straw man was the infallibility of the superior Arian race as perceived by Hitler. All other races were inferior and it was the mission of the Germans to conquer and rule over all inferior races, by any means, or kill them outright. And kill them they did, by the millions. How is this any different than the current batch of insane Islamic Jihadists?

But today the straw man has become the infallibility of the environment. It supersedes and takes priority over unalienable individual rights, by almost any means, including enforcement by the law and guns. That this environmental infallibility would come in conflict with individual unalienable rights, especially here in America, was not only not hard to predict, it was pre-ordained. We now live in worldwide environmental fascism. The international climate initiatives to limit CO2 to allegedly protect the planet from MAN-CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING, that came out of the Paris Climate Summit last December, is just another tentacle of that fascism. It is not about the environment ladies and gentlemen. It is about control of the masses and the transfer of America’s wealth and so is this land battle raging in the West. How dare we challenge government’s orders and their vast“ wisdom!” Of course, they are never wrong and they never make mistakes. In a pig’s eye!

Environmentalists, foreign interests, (yes foreign interests) the Indians and government have conspired together to drive man out of the rural areas of America, in preference to plants and animals. The following quote is an example of the environmentalist’s mentality:

“I put animals over peoples feelings ANYDAY. I would gladly step over a dying human to get to an injured animal. That’s how I am.” —Posted by AminalTales

The environmentalists, the Indians and the government, are using the law and Kangaroo courts to accomplish their means. Constitutional property rights are overridden by judicial decrees. The EPA, by fiat, is taking over all waters of America and thumbing its nose at Congress and the U. S. Supreme Court. The EPA has become a fascist power unto itself, virtually without accountability. Who got fired, or went to jail, in the Gold Mine spill in Utah? No one! Meanwhile, the Congress appears impotent, or reluctant, to stop them.

Indians are expanding their ancient treaty rights well beyond their reservations and are gobbling up more land, water and resources, with the help of foreign interests, environmentalists and the courts. Powerful environmental groups lobby congress and sue the government to accomplish their goals and at the same time reap large profits from court settlements, paid by taxpayer dollars. Much of what is taking place is described by an article in the Land and Water USA website at this link.

The article includes a video by attorney Larry Kogan, describing how the “dirty” work has been and is being done by your government.

As more of this information sinks into the rural population, the Bundy Movement will only grow in size and force. No matter what the government does to the Bundy’s, conflicts between rural landowners and the government will increase. If the government’s hope was to silence the Bundy Movement by punitive actions and incarceration, they will be disappointed. The actions by the Bundy’s, however ill advised, have exposed a government that no longer preserves, protects and defends the unalienable rights of its citizens and instead is taking those rights away by force, under the guise of radical environmentalism, just a different type of fascism.

So the question remains, at the present rate of the loss of liberty, how long will it be before an American version of the SS and storm troopers are patrolling our cities, towns, villages and the country side, as they did in Germany? It won’t be very long, (as we keep repeating) if “a critical mass of dedicated and courageous Americans don’t decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary, or by some other effective legal means.”

We could turn America around in one or two presidential election cycles with our three-part “legal” plan, provided there were enough dedicated souls and the funds necessary to implement the plan. It’s taken the last 5 years to perfect that plan and we could accomplish it with an organization of much less than a “Critical Mass” ….. and enough money. Like many patriots who want to see something positive occur in their lifetime, we grow weary of waiting. It’s long past time to act.

“All of the problems we’re facing with debt are manmade problems. We created them. It’s called fantasy economics. Fantasy economics only works in a fantasy world. It doesn’t work in reality.” ~Michelle Bachman

To all the men of America: If you knew that there was an event about to happen that presented a grave danger to your wife and children, or your mom or dad, or your brothers and sisters, would you throw up your hands and say there is nothing you can do? Would you look deep into your wife’s eyes and tell her you can’t save her? If she was in danger of becoming a debt slave, an involuntary part of a rich man’s concubine, or be killed, would you tell her you just can’t do anything about it because the problem is bigger than you are able to handle? Well, that is what the men of America have been doing.

Men have an animal mandate to protect their women and children. They don’t have a license or authority to endanger them, enslave them, maim them, or kill them. And that is what the powerful men of politics and banking have done to the men, women and children of America, and the world.

We ask you to take a good hard look at the image that accompanies this article. The image depicts the explosive rise in the national debt, the reasons what caused it to rise so precipitously in such a short period of time and the extreme danger it poses to every American citizen, as shown by a bullet on its way to your wives’ and children’s head. This isn’t just a fantasy, or some TV story. This is reality in the form of an imminent and grave danger to your loved ones that the representatives of the people have chosen to ignore, or kick down the road for the last three decades. Your politicians have known of the problem for at least that long and have done nothing, except make it worse.

It took over 206 years for the national debt to reach $1 Trillion. It took just another 22 years to increase it $18 Trillion more. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) predicts the national debt will increase to $33 Trillion in just 10 more years. Every man, woman, child and the unborn are on the hook for that $33 Trillion and rising debt. It is totally unsustainable and it is why we predicted in a recent article that: “America’s Collapse is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.”

Let’s see if we can explain it to you with a little kitchen-table economics.

A family of four, husband, wife and two kids, earns $100,000 per year. But they want the good life, you know, the really GOOD life, so they borrow another $42,000, such that 42 cents of every dollar earned, is borrowed. (That 42 cents is germane to this discussion) The family has managed its money fairly well and has stacked up some significant assets in savings, rental property and stocks. So the husband goes to the bank and says I want to borrow $42,000. The banker looks at their financial statements and says the borrowers have the income and assets to pay back the loan and grants it to them.

Because they are living the GOOD life, the family is beginning to feel guilty about the good life they are living and they decide to help some needy families with their extra income and borrowings. They find four needy families to help and begin to draw down their loan. The word gets out that these generous people are helping others and a few more needy families show up at the door and ask for assistance.

Being truly generous people, they can’t turn down the new needy families and start to draw down their loan even more. Upon assessing their finances at the end of the year, they realize that in order to support all the needy families they have taken on, they are going to have to borrow more money.

So they go to the bank again and ask the banker for another $42,000. The banker scratches his head a little but since the generous family has made their payments regularly and on time and their assets are still in tack, he agrees to lend them another $42,000, over and above their income of $100,000 and on top of the previous $42,000 loan.

As you might expect, more families learn of this grand generosity and show up on the doorstep to ask for assistance. Hearing their sad luck stories, our generous family doesn’t have the heart to turn the new families down.

By the end of the second year however, they realize they don’t have the money to help all of the families they have taken on and must go back to the bank for another $42,000 loan. But during the second year, the generous family is not so timely with their payments.

Now in the real world, the banker looks at the total outstanding loan amount, the irregular payments, the declining assets and tells the generous family, the bank can’t lend them any more money. That would be the end of the story and the generous family would have to start cutting back on the families they are helping. Eventually, without a new loan of $42,000, there is no way they can help the poor families, pay their normal expenses and pay down the $84,000 loan they have previously borrowed. Without a massive cut back in providing assistance to needy families, they will go bankrupt. In fact, their hearts couldn’t deny the needy families they were helping and our generous family did go bankrupt. Irrational compassion bankrupted them. While in bankruptcy court, they lament to the judge that if they just could print their own money, there would be no end to the families they could help.

But ladies and gentlemen, our generous family must live in the real world. Government doesn’t live in the real world. They live in the fantasy world of buying votes to stay in power with your money. Government isn’t a family dictated by kitchen-table economics. Government can print money and the borrower who gets to pay the loans back, is every American citizen. The so-called “good faith and credit” of the nation is predicated upon its citizens earning money that can be taxed by government.

The people are the collateral for the loans taken out by government to buy the people’s votes so the government can rule the people. Each individual’s Social Security number is their loan number for the national debt. The American people have become debt slaves to their own money that is used against them and to divide them.

Who led us down this path to destruction? The lust for power led us here and it was the lust for power that found the “key” to staying in power. The “key” was buying votes. However, in order to buy more votes to stay in power, the politicians realized they couldn’t help all those needy families without borrowing money. But government doesn’t have to borrow money. It just prints it.

So government creates programs to help the people with direct cash, rent, food, telephone, education, college and medical expenses. The government has created at least 80 such programs. One person gets on one of the programs and finds it’s a smooth deal. They don’t have to work for it. The one person tells 10 more people and those 10 apply for the assistance. The program rapidly runs out of money. So the politicians raise the budget, not wanting to lose those new votes coming onto the assistance program and appropriate more money. Where did the politicians get the money? Part of it came from taxes and part of it came from borrowing the money from the Federal Reserve and other nations, like Japan and China. 42 cents of every dollar spent is borrowed. Where did the Federal Reserve get the money? They printed it with government authority. It’s legal under law but financial collapse becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy under this law. Some have called it a death spiral. The Constitution, freedom, liberty, or property rights will mean nothing when the nation collapses.

Then along came another concept in the 1930’s that aggravated the situation even more, Keynesian economics! Keynesian economics says it is OK for the government to smooth out the bad times by adding more money to the financial system, no matter where they have to get the money. Where did the government get the new money? The Federal Reserve printed it of course and handed it over to the government as a loan, at interest for which the people get to pay.

It gets even worse from there. The banks, central banks and affiliates, engage in the practice of what is called fractional reserve lending. This is a great high-profit scheme that allows the banks to lend out 10 times more money than is contained in bank deposits. The reserves to cover for bad loans are a minute fraction of the amounts at risk. This works OK for a while, that is until there is a bank run, or a “dot com” or “housing bubble”, where the housing loans are riddled with bad loans that cannot be paid off by the miniscule bank reserves. The big banks get caught up in the scheme and when the bubble bursts, they become too big to fail. Who bails them out, the American citizen of course, because every man, woman, child and the unborn are on the hook for the bad loans.

The central banks are tanking all over the world. There are hard rumors that Deutsche Bank could be on the verge of collapse and if it fails, Barclays and Citi Bank could follow like dominoes. There are strong signs of a “flight” to gold. The stock market is headed down into bear territory. The price of crude oil is trending down as the market responds to an oil glut. Why? The markets are just responding to the affects of worldwide socialism, multi-culturalism, never-ending wars and crushing regulations. One only need look at the countries of Greece and Venezuela to see the cost of socialism.

Who came up with these fantastic schemes to make large profits for the banks and stay in political power using your money? The Progressives, the liberals, the socialists, the Democrats and the bankers came up with the scheme starting in 1913 with the passing of the 16th Amendment, then FDR’s New Deal and Social Security that is now bankrupt, on top of President Johnson’s Great Society, along with Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid and Obama Care. This doesn’t even take into account the continual passage of strangling regulations.

Meanwhile, your government allows millions of illegal aliens to pour into America, looking for a better life, which comes on the backs of the American citizen who gets to pay for everything the illegal alien consumes, while taking the jobs legal Americans need and deserve. The Democrats hail the illegal hordes as future voters of America, who just happen to vote Democrat because the illegals come from socialist countries. No wonder Trump is so popular.

So legal men of America, if you take your animal mandate seriously to protect your women and children from harm, whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or an Independent, (or a woman) think long and hard whom you are going to vote for in 2016. Your decision could either accelerate the demise of America because of what we have written here, or set her on a slow path to solvency. The current path only leads to national bankruptcy and the further loss of liberty, where the people become debt slaves, no better than the infamous sweatshops of the emerging Industrial age.

Government won’t be your savior in this world awash in debt. Government will be a very aggressive debt collector. Everything you own will be collateral for the national debt and it won’t be safe from the government’s prying eyes, as they confiscate America’s wealth to pay back the debt they put on you to buy your vote.

The only other thing that will stop this slide into the financial abyss is if “a critical mass of dedicated and courageous American MEN finally decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary.” Otherwise your women and children, and you, will become debt slaves to the government and the bankers.

If you see the danger we describe, tell us how you would reverse the course we are on, HERE.

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

When rational environmentalism became radical environmentalism in the 1970’s, the aggression AGAINT the rural landowner has grown to an all out war ON the rural landowner, enforced by ever-growing, ever-expanding federal agencies that have morphed into a Nazi-like, heavily-armed police force. A way of life on the range that grew out of the American West and raised the protein that Americans consume, has been determined by the environmentalists and the government to be an anachronism and passé, in favor of the creatures and the plants. Legal grazing and water right allotments, with the force of law, have been unilaterally overturned by federal agencies, irrespective of the law of allotments, protected by U. S. Supreme Court decisions. Allotment fees have been raised by several factors and grazing and water permits have been reduced, or eliminated. Private lands have been saddled with massive buffers and conservation easements, or outright confiscation. Due process is a mirage as many landowners have found out the hard way.

We depict this ongoing assault on rural landowners in our video entitled, “Rural America in the Crosshairs.”

The government, at the behest of the radical environmentalists, has decided to turn the American West into a private reserve for flora and fauna where no human can go. Much of America has become off limits to any human activity. Ranches and farms are being seized and raided by government, or are being forced out of business by government actions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are the tools that government, the environmentalists and lawyers use to do their dirty work. The individual landowner is helpless when the all-powerful government sets its sights on a rancher or farmer.

In a recent article in the Independent Sentinel they wrote this:

“The land grabs began more than two decades ago.”

“Thanks to the extremists involved in The Wildlands Project of 1992 and their cozy relationship with greedy government bureaucrats, ranchers throughout the West are being squeezed off their land. The extremists work in conjunction with liberal Federal judges who aid and abet the theft.”

“Ranchers are having their cattle seized and being refused water and grazing rights so the government can take over Western land and declare it “open spaces.”

“The Wildlands Project, now called the Wildlands Network, works in coordination with the government and other extremist groups. They have “set aside the goal of preserving 50% of the North American continent as ‘wild land’ for the preservation of biological diversity, according to their own stated goals on their website. It conforms to the UN plan.”

“The Wildlands plan is to create larger public lands by acquiring private lands adjoining public lands. Re-wilding the land that they have set aside for nature, requires moving humans into human settlements.”

That’s right. The environmentalist’s stated goal is to move “man” out of the rural areas and into big cities with mass transportation, where they can walk or ride their bicycle to work. No cars. Cars are bad. National and international environmentalists have seduced the U. S. Government to pass legislation to further that goal and they are well on their way to achieving it.

Those that live in big cities and are dependent on government for just about everything, are all for shoving “man” off the land to join them in their dependent cities. Thanks to endless government and environmental propaganda on the airways, in newspapers, in our public schools and our liberal colleges, the general, un-informed public, thinks it’s a great idea.

People always say that times change and they do, but not so when you are raising America’s food and protein. It takes a lot of rangeland and water to raise cattle and sheep. It takes a lot of flat land to raise crops. If we give the land all away to the plants and animals and drive the ranchers and farmers out of business, what will American’s eat?

All across the West, resistance to government oppression, driven by radical environmentalism and Agenda 21, is on the rise. The government is restricting access to known water rights and cutting off access to private lands that must go through public lands, even though the access is granted by deed or allotment. The reaction by one landowner was swift and succinct. “Our fight was about our land. They wanted me to put a fence 180 feet from my creek and keep my livestock from using it. I paid for that land, and I’ll be damned if the feds are going to tell me I can’t use even a sliver of it.”

In the West, range wars were fought over water and grazing rights and fencing off the open range. Many people died in those wars. Then, it was private landowner at war with other private landowners or settlers who were fencing off the land for farming. Now the war is private landowners against the government.

But what the GOVERNMENT giveth, the GOVERNMENT can taketh away.

From the middle of the 1800’s to 1934, the government allowed virtually unrestricted cattle and sheep grazing on unreserved public lands. These grazing “rights” were called allotments. Then in 1934, it was determined that the government should better manage unreserved public lands and passed the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 that provided for the regulation of grazing and water rights. Currently, there are some 182,000,000 acres of public land under grazing allotments. 182,000,000 acres is larger than the State of Texas.

As we said, it takes a lot of land to raise cattle and sheep. The government allotments allowed ranchers to expand their herds on other than private land holdings. Those allotments came with water rights because you can’t raise cattle and sheep without water. Under the Taylor Grazing Act, the allotments were actual contracts with ranchers and were good for 10 years, but renewable. The ranchers had to pay grazing fees during the life of the allotment contract. Grazing cattle and sheep on public lands became a necessary and vital component of feeding a growing and hungry nation.

Along came environmentalism in the 1970’s and grazing cattle and sheep on the “public’s” land just wouldn’t do. Environmental laws were passed that mandated the government to take back the grazing and water rights on public land from the ranchers, in the interest of “protecting” the environment and the protection of endangered or threatened species. The environmentalists were intent, with government’s help, to re-wild America and they didn’t care that it was eliminating one of the vital components of feeding this hungry nation, land and water. To facilitate their goal, the government started dramatically raising allotment fees, or canceling allotment contracts at the end of the 10-year term. Unreserved public land for grazing and water rights was evaporating right under the ranchers’ noses.

Many ranchers have tried to fight back in the courts, only to find the courts were rigged in favor of the government and the environmentalists. The Wayne Hage family, Nevada ranchers, found out the hard way about just how powerful the federal government really is. The Hage story and others that have come up against an intransigent, dictatorial government, was chronicled in a Fox News Special entitled, “Enemies of the State.” That special can be viewed at the video below.

Over the last several decades, small, local skirmishes, sometimes violent, started erupting in different parts of the West, in response to the government and environmental land grab, which led to the Sagebrush Rebellion in the 1970’s. The skirmishes started to grow in size which culminated in the Bundy Ranch standoff in 2014 between 200 heavily-armed BLM agents and a couple of hundred private citizens carrying guns. A shooting war where private citizens would start dying in the desert for all to see at the hands of federal agents, wouldn’t play well with public opinion. The event was widely covered by the news media and the government wisely stood down.

Emboldened by the success of the Bundy Ranch standoff, Ammon Bundy, son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, with the help of a bunch of rag tag armed militia, took over the Malheur Wildlife Preserve in Southeastern Oregon. They came there in defense of Oregon ranchers’ Dwight and Steven Hammond, who ended up in jail on a trumped up arson charge at the hands of the BLM. The Hammond’s had continuous run-ins with the BLM over grazing, water rights and back-burn wildfires. The arson charged appeared to be a way for the BLM to get even.

By now, most of the public knows how the Oregon armed standoff ended. One man was shot dead by law enforcement and the rest have been or will be arrested. Those arrested will probably spend some considerable time in jail. The federal court in which they will be tried, will not be sympathetic, nor will any jury of their peers. It was a lose-lose proposition unless their martyrdom triggers more rural Americans to stand up and be counted. We have described the Hammond ranch events in Oregon on the NARLO website on a dedicated web page HERE.

A story out of Okanogan County, Washington further illustrates the divide between ranchers, farmers, government management of public lands and wildfires. That story can be read here.

But this isn’t the end of the story in the West. The government may have won this battle in Oregon, but they have only incited greater anger in Western landowners. Where that goes is anyone’s guess, but from our perspective and the reading of the tealeaves, it does not appear to end peacefully.

Many will ask, is the fight against government by rural landowners a righteous fight? After all, the government allegedly owns the land upon which the ranchers’ cattle and sheep are grazing. But isn’t the better question, does the government under the U. S. Constitution, have the right to own, control and manage the land in the first place? In Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, the federal government is only supposed to own and control such lands as follows:

“To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings.”

If the literal translation of Clause 17 is true, then Ammon Bnndy, Wayne Hage and all other Western ranchers are right in their demand for the federal government to cede the public land back to the states and cease and desist government’s attack on the ranchers and farmers.

The issue is far from settled and this is what has given rise to the current conflict. When the government was reasonable in managing the unreserved federal lands, everything went fairly smoothly. But when government started clamping down on the ranchers’ legal contract rights to government allotments in the name of environmentalism, the smooth-running relationship between rancher and government evaporated and a land war has ensued.

When in a war, and we are in a war with the government, there are going to be all kinds of twists and turns and skirmishes in that war. The Oregon standoff was just one of the twists and turns. There will be many more to come as the wall between government and the citizens gets higher and higher. It has to come to a head eventually. We can only hope the outcome will be in favor of freedom and the Republic, but it is not a sure thing.

There are millions of Americans that still believe in individual, unalienable rights and want the government to stay the Hell out of their lives. Unfortunately, the government has shoved its ugly head in every “tent” and some of the people are beginning to balk, a totally predictable reaction to rising government oppression. The Oregon armed standoff was a symptom of the people’s resistance to that oppression, not a cause.

As advocates for the American rural landowner, (NARLO) we have great empathy for what landowners are having to endure at the hands of a heavy-handed government, the environmentalists that have infiltrated every nick and cranny of government and the Indians that are finding creative ways to seek revenge against the White Man with sympathetic courts, high-paid lawyers and ancient Indian treaties. The fact that the anger is rising in the landowners of the American West is as predictable as the Sun rising in the East.

There have been many confrontations between landowners and the government, environmentalists and the Indians and those confrontations are only going to grow. That rising anger has led to the Jarbidge Shovel Brigade in Northern Nevada near Elko, the Klamath Bucket Brigade in Southern Oregon, the infamous Wayne Hage lawsuit against the government and the Bundy standoff against heavily armed BLM agents in Southeastern Nevada and now the standoff at the Malheur Nature Preserve in Southeastern Oregon.

On the Indian front, besides Indian Casinos, little has been said or is known about the Boldt decision that gave the Indians 50% of the Salmon harvest every year, or the giant monetary award to the Puyallup Indians in Washington State ($162,000,000) over a land claim, or the Coeur d’Alene Indians trying to claim for the tribe all of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, or the Flathead Indians taking control of all land, water and electricity rights in Western Montana, with the help of the federal and Montana State governments.

Then there is the dictatorial control and abuse by the Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency in the management of federal lands that have spilled over into private land holdings with a vengeance.

All of these events directly affect the rural landowners of the Western United States and has lit a match to what could become a raging land war in the West.

The Western landowners have found themselves in the unrelenting grip of a giant bully known as the U. S. Federal Government. They have tried in numerous legal ways to fight that government, but with courts leaning in favor of the government and the radical environmental movement, the rural landowner has found little redress going the legal route. The hard truth is, you can’t fight the power of the federal government alone, which way too many landowners try.

A blaring case in point is the Wayne Hage family ranchers in Southeastern Nevada. They actually had won a court decree from the U. S. Court of Claims to the tune of $14,000,000 after fighting horrendous attempts by the federal government to thwart their every legal move. The elder Hage’s have since died and their son has had to pick up the fight. Some reports indicate that the Hage Family has spent over $2,000,000 in lawyers, court costs and expert witnesses. In over 20 years of that court case and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel by a favorable court award, the family’s hopes were dashed when the federal government took the case to the 9th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals that reversed the lower court’s award and remanded the case back to the lower court with a new judge.

The younger Hage said in a telephone interview Monday that an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court would be difficult. “I don’t know what the future has in store for us.” We have been dealt a lot of ugly over the years. I’m not sure where it’s going to go. It is a big disappointment, not just for my family but for the entire industry. They felt relief at the Jones decision. Ranchers’ rights had been upheld but now it has all been overturned. It looks to me like the 9th Circuit just swelled the ranks of the militias.” Hage said he is not involved with the militias but that he understands their frustrations with the federal government.”

The 9th Circuit overturned the lower court’s ruling because the lower court judge allegedly harbored “animus” towards the federal agencies. Imagine that! Since the courts most always lean in favor of the government and against the citizens, that’s OK in the minds of the FEDS, but woe be to the judge who dares to lean in favor of citizen’s rights and the constitution.

Given this backdrop and the frustration of the landowners trying to fight an intransigent government, it is no wonder that some landowners decided to take matters into their own hands and confront the government with guns at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada where a blood bath was averted by cooler heads.

The Bundy standoff in 2014 has led to the current Oregon standoff where trigger happy Oregon State Patrol and FBI agents couldn’t wait to shoot one of the landowners at a traffic stop in what has been reported by eyewitness Victoria Sharps, who was in the white SUV, as, “red laser lights everywhere, shined on all of the occupants of the rancher’s car, and a hail of bullets from the FBI agents fired into our car where Ryan Bundy was wounded. It’s a wonder we weren’t all killed.”

See eyewitness video/audio here

The apparent summary execution of Lavoy Finicum at the traffic stop was murder according to Ms. Sharps. She stated that Lavoy. 54, a Mormon and father of 11 children and 19 grandchildren, had his hands up when the FBI agents shot him several times and while he was laying on the ground, they shot him three more times. But let’s not forget that Lavoy Finicum tried to run a roadblock.

The FBI calls Ms. Sharps’ testimony false and has released a video of the event. The FBI claims Lavoy was reaching for a gun when they shot him. Couldn’t they have at least waited to see the gun before they shot him? The FBI video doesn’t mention or show the bullet-riddled SUV. Any investigation into the shooting will likely be a whitewash.

But this begs the question of why would a father of 11 children be at a place where he could be killed? That’s irresponsible. Who will take care of the children and his ranch now that he is gone ….. the government?

By the time this article is published, the Malheur Nature Preserve occupation will probably be over. The apparent leader of the ranchers, Ammon Bundy, from his jail cell, has strongly urged the other remaining ranchers to go home, if they can get out of there without being arrested, or shot. Hopefully, they will leave peacefully and no more blood shed will occur.

There were only two possible outcomes from the Oregon standoff. The first outcome is all of the ranchers would all be shot dead by government agents. The other outcome was that they would be arrested for breaking the law. Only one was shot dead and the rest have been, or probably will be, arrested. They could serve many years in jail.

What did the ranchers hope to accomplish? Yes, they obtained national news coverage, but that coverage labeled the ranchers as thugs and terrorists. What the ranchers wanted was the Hammond Father and Son Oregon ranchers to be released from prison for a trumped up arson charge by the government giving them a five-year sentence as terrorists. That sentence was obviously over-kill by the government and was and is a travesty of justice. Nevertheless, even after the standoff is over, the Hammonds will still be in prison. So there was no win on this demand.

The ranchers’ second demand was for the federal government to cede all federal lands to the states. That demand was never going to happen in the short term but several states are attempting to regain control of federal lands in their states. We see movement along these lines in Utah, Nevada and Idaho.

Even though we sympathize with the ranchers and their cause, the occupation was futility by any other name, driven by irrational anger and frustration. The news of the occupation will be dead in a week or two, drowned out by the Presidential race. The trials of those arrested might be covered but it won’t be front-page news. The press will crucify the ranchers and when the ranchers go to jail, no one will care. The ranchers will become nameless martyrs in a long war against rising government tyranny, even though the ranchers’ honorable goal was to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

What are the lessons learned from the Oregon occupation event? The first lesson is, you have to be smarter than the government and that shouldn’t be too hard given that government employees are intellectually challenged at best. What the ranchers did was not being smarter than the government.

The second lesson is that you don’t go up against a superior force with a handful of disorganized armed citizens. That’s not only folly it can be deadly and is in direct violation of the art of war. If Americans decide they want to challenge the military power of the federal government, they had better have no less than 10,000 heavily armed, dedicated citizens with a tight organization, strong leadership, adequately supplied and funded, a detailed plan and the commitment and courage to confront government no matter what the cost. Any outright war with the 10,000 would be perceived by the public as heavy handed and dictatorial and the mask of government tyranny would finally be removed for all to see. That is probably why the government backed down at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada in 2014 because of the adverse public opinion if civilian Americans started dying in the desert at the hands of BLM agents.

Anyone should know that the government can easily over power a smaller force as they did in Oregon and the smaller force will have gained nothing out of the confrontation. But a force of 10,000 or more raises the stakes to a whole new level where the government will think twice about a war where Americans are killing other Americans, albeit that didn’t stop them in the civil war.

Government could not ignore the demands of an army of 10,000 armed and dedicated civilians who intended to punctuate their demands with guns. However, as far as we know, there is no force of an organized group of 10,000 heavily armed citizens lurking in the shadows of America right now.

Consequently, the only other way is to legally challenge the government by using the courts, like the environmentalists do, even knowing that the courts and brainwashed juries lean in favor of the government and especially the environmentalists. Such a strategy requires a non-beatable legal team and tens of millions of dollars to fund the legal battle. Yes, we can take back America in the courts, with enough money.

If the 50,000,000 or so voters that voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 election donated $10.00 per month for a year, a war chest of $500,000,000 would be raised each month (that’s $6 Billion Dollars in a year) to fight a legal battle. Even if 10% of that 50 million would donate $10.00, that would be enough. The giant legal firms would fall all over themselves to represent this group in that they would sue their own mother if there were enough money in it for them.

But until such a legal strategy is mounted and the funds raised, nothing will change in America. As we said in our last article entitled, “America’s Collapse Is A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy – UNLESS”, “….. a critical mass of dedicated American citizens finally decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary.” A Boston style tea party, or even a million-man march on Washington DC, or an armed occupation at a nature preserve in Oregon to seek a redress of grievances, just doesn’t cut it in today’s America. The corrupt “system” will just swallow them up and spit them out.

But we wonder who gets it, or even whose listening, or worse, who cares?

If you care, let us know HERE.

“There is only one social system that reflects the sovereignty of the individual, the free market, capitalist system.” -William E. Simon, Treasury Secretary.

Over 34 years ago, in October of 1981 William E. Simon, Secretary of the Treasury, said this at the start of the Reagan reformation. “In the first 10 months in office, President Reagan has made great strides toward restoring America’s economic vitality. Major cuts in federal spending, substantial tax reductions and long overdue business deregulation have been achieved against great odds. But much more remains to be done – and can only be done with the full support of the American people.”

In Simon’s short book, “A Time For Action”, (ISBN: 0-425-05732-1 1980) he describes what the liberal progressive policies have done to the country over the last several decades. He derides the exploding debt, the lack of capital for business expansion and rising taxes and regulations. If only Mr. Simon could see where we are today. Unfortunately, there is no Reagan around, or the support of the American people, to “fix” it. The masses have gone daft and for all we know, they always were.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) just released its fiscal predictions for 2016 to 2026. The report is dismal if not apocryphal. Now the CBO hasn’t been the best predictor of future trends. But if they are even half right, America, without intervention of some kind, is doomed as a sovereign nation. That statement is so important, we are going to repeat it:

“America, without intervention of some kind, is doomed as a sovereign nation.”

If no changes are made to the trajectory of government spending, the CBO predicts that annual spending will rise from $3.7 Trillion to $6.4 Trillion in 2026, or 23% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The growth in government spending in those 10 years will exceed the growth in GDP by several percentage points. The drivers of rising government spending, according to the CBO are, Medicare, Medicaid, Obama Care and Social Security.

But what is even more alarming is the increase in the interest on the national debt, which could exceed what is spent on national defense and other government priorities combined. The CBO predicts that the interest on the national debt will double in the next 10 years. And the national debt itself is predicted to rise 82% over the next decade. If true, the national debt will exceed $33 Trillion by 2026. $33 Trillion IN DEBT!

See: [This Link]

Even 34 years ago, William Simon predicted what would happen if America stayed on the same course. Reagan came along and blunted the growth in federal spending, jump-started the economy and reduced taxes and regulations. The results of his efforts were seen in the economy for at least the next 15 years. Even President Clinton finally gave in to reforming the welfare system and that helped some.

But along came Obama, a liberal, progressive, socialist, who unilaterally removed the work requirement in the Welfare laws, re-igniting the Welfare Queens and Kings of years passed. Then, with the help of a Democrat-controlled Congress, passed money-sucking, freedom-robbing Obama Care, without a single Republican vote. There was no reaching across the aisle for Obama.

Here is the simple truth for those who have difficulty understanding the Progressive mentality that has led America to the precipice of national bankruptcy. Progressives, liberals, Democrats, or socialists, whatever you want to call them, 100 years or more ago, knew that if they could use the public treasury to buy votes, or pass laws to pander to different constituency groups, they could remain in power forever. They did not and do not care that their plans would grow exponentially due to human weakness and that entitlements used to buy votes were and are unsustainable. They did not and do not care that those plans have sent America on a path from which it cannot recover because of the very human weakness of the masses that fell into the Democrat trap of government dependency ….. in exchange for their votes. The Democrats purposely exploited that human weakness for their own gain, all the while promoting that they were the compassionate ones.

Hungry, totally dependent chicks in the nest, with their beaks wide open, will continue to scream to be fed by their feathered mother. Dependent humans, with their hands out stretched, will scream to the top of their lungs if someone tries to take away their government subsistence, whether earned or not. America is doomed by the welfare queen’s and king’s vote and those dependent on government.

If the Republicans pounded the current, dire predictions of the CBO message every day for the next year on every TV and radio channel, those living off the backs of the taxpayer wouldn’t care and they would vote out anyone who proposed cutting, or passed legislation to cut entitlements. This is illuminated very well with the rise of Bernie Sanders, a socialist, who wants to increase entitlements exponentially, while drowning American businesses and the middle class in massive tax increases. The difference between a Bernie Sanders socialist and the rest of the Democrat crowd, is a hair’s breadth.

The Democrats purposely set up the “GIMEE” generations over the last 80 years or more using Progressive policies, from the New Deal and Social Security, on to President Johnson’s War on Poverty, to Medicaid, Medicare and now Obama Care For the “CBO prediction of financial doom” message to have any wide spread effect, the Democrats would have to align themselves with Republicans. Since Democrats are addicted to power (they have had it for so long) they are never going to join the Republicans for the good of the country.

The Progressive, collective mindset is so imbedded in government institutions and the body politic, it will take several generations to change that mindset, if at all. This mindset is so pervasive it is said that there are 10 liberal professors for every one conservative professor in our colleges. Teachers in our public schools probably follow the same pattern since they are taught in our liberal colleges, teachers from whom our kids learn.

But that’s not all. This liberal mindset gives greater priority to the collective than it does to the individual, thanks to endless Progressive propaganda. In contrast, America was founded on individual, unalienable rights. It was not founded on the collective. The collective is only found in the writings of Karl Marx and in the freedom-robbing policies of socialism and communism.

In fact, it is even worse than this. The Republicans, in order to remain a viable political party, have been moving left to join the Democrats since the days of FDR. Smaller government, individual freedom, capitalism, free markets, less taxes and less regulations are only campaign slogans for the Republican Party. Even when Republicans control Congress they constantly side with Progressive policies like social justice and radical environmentalism, along with budget deals to fund those policies. A Republican-controlled Congress just passed an Omnibus Spending Bill that must have sent Obama into fits of euphoria. Many Republicans will side and have sided with Democrats to continue increasing CO2 emission limits to “feed” the insanity of Climate Change, alias man-caused global warming. Republicans and the Democrats don’t seem to care about the cost to the economy, or even that their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions WILL NOT have any effect whatsoever on the climate.

Republicans will do nothing, while they control Congress, to rein in government agencies, like the EPA, the Bureau of Land Management, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and the Forest Service, from those agencies running rough shod over private landowners and ignoring long settled law of allotments, in furtherance of the government’s aggressive policy to shove radical environmentalism down the throats of those same landowners. As a result, a war is brewing in the West. (See: “The Makings of An American West Rebellion.”)

The American economy became wealthy and strong, financially and militarily because the American people were free to create, innovate and work their little behinds off in search of a better mouse trap and the rewards that came from bringing the better mouse trap to an anxious buying public. The major ingredient that funded that creativity and innovation came from available capital. As long as Americans were creating and innovating and as long as there was capital to fund that creativity and innovation, America and Americans prospered. But when government started “sucking” the capital out of the markets to fund entitlements, there was less and less capital to fund creativity and innovation. Then the government added more restrictive legislation and taxes to creativity and innovation, which inhibited them even further. As a result, new business formation and job creation are at an all-time low.

But one of the more serious aspects of the entitlement mentality was the stripping away the individual’s self-worth, personal pride, and incentive to be a productive, proud human being. Now they are just “birds” in a nest, with their “beaks” wide open, crowing to the government for their dinner, on the backs of the taxpayer. If these “birds” couldn’t vote, America wouldn’t be going broke today. The Progressive policy of irrational compassion has severely weakened the human fabric of America.

Unfortunately ladies and gentlemen, there is no Reagan on our horizon and it remains to be seen whether the current gaggle of Republican presidential candidates can do what Reagan did, that is if a Republican president can even be elected. And even if a Republican is elected president and the Congress remains in Republican control, if they try to rein in entitlements to save America from going bankrupt, they will be thrown out of office at the next election.

The only things that will change the course we are on is an economic collapse, or a revolution, or the Democrat Party finally seeing the light for the good of the country, or all the welfare Queens and Kings die off all at once, along with their offspring ….. bringing the obliteration of their votes.

Since none of that will happen, the only other event that will change it is when “a critical mass of dedicated American citizens finally decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary.” The recent event at the Malheur Nature Preserve in Southeastern Oregon is a very small example of that civil disobedience. We discussed this civil disobedience in a recent article entitled, “There is Only One Solution, Force Government’s Hand!” The Bundy militia is doing just that, in the true spirit of American civil disobedience.

But the peaceful protest style of civil disobedience seldom works. Several times a million men and women have descended on Washington DC to seek redress of grievances, but nothing has changed. Protests, even million-man marches, do not have the power to undo the corrupt system that has grown unchecked, in federal, state and local governments.

Because there have been so many years of government dependency, starting with the days of FDR during the Great Depression, a depression precipitated by the Federal Reserve, the votes to preserve, maintain and defend government dependency far exceeds the votes to preserve, maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. For this reason “The collapse of America is a self-fulfilling prophecy.” In simple terms, you can’t stop an avalanche.

For those not familiar with the phrase ….. “a self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.”

Therefore, we predict that by the year 2038, 250 years after the ink started drying on the ratified U. S. Constitution in 1788, the economic collapse of America will be complete. At that point America will either be merged into the one-world-order, or become a third-world banana republic, or a dictatorship, or an absolute democrat monarchy ….. unless a critical mass of dedicated American citizens finally decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary. Bullies will always be in charge unless confronted by a greater force. A critical mass of dedicated Americans is that greater force.

THE COWBOY’S PROMISE: ”If you push me once, I’ll ask you what your problem is. If you push me again be prepared to defend your life! -Ron Ewart

Well ladies and gentlemen the fact is, the government has pushed the cowboy, the rancher, the farmer and the rural landowner way more than once. What happened in Southeastern Nevada in 2014 at the Bundy Ranch and what is now happening at the Malheur Nature Preserve near the Hammond Ranch in Southeastern Oregon is because government has been pushing and pushing and pushing until the Western “Cowboy” had no other choice but to challenge government authority ….. again! The Sage Brush Rebellion of the 1970’s is being reborn.

In our last article entitled, “Enviro-Wacos Wont Be Happy Until the Bundy Militia is Dead” we explained why this Gestapo-like pressure is being exerted on the American West landowner by agencies of the federal government. The reason is out-of-control, unchecked, irrational national and international radical environmentalism in the form of the UN’s Agenda 21, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), with government as the enforcer, lobbied and sued constantly by radical environmentalists. To give you a flavor of how much environmentalists hate the rancher, farmer and rural landowner, read the following response to the Oregon standoff by Seattle area, city-born and raised birdwatcher, Peggy Garber: (www.garbers.com) and (peggy@garbers.com)

“Just a friendly warning from the birding and wildlife photography community to the Oregon terrorists. We are watching your every move, and we have been watching you for a long time. And yes absolutely you are domestic terrorists of the worst kind, and the truth about your decades of constant poaching of protected wildlife around Malheur and other wildlife refuges, national parks, national forests and BLM lands has been well-documented. For years those of us who are wildlife photographers, birdwatchers and careers of wildlife, have been documenting the activities of you poachers and criminals around many of our nation’s wildlife refuges. With our powerful cameras, and ability to move unseen in the wilderness, we have found and documented your illegal hunts, your illegal traps and all sorts of illicit activities, and are constantly feeding that information to law enforcement, and we have finally got many of you poachers on the run and into jails. And I for one am a westerner sick to death of you welfare queens and cheats living off of BLM land, illegally gutting our wilderness and our wildlife. Wildlife photographers and wildlife/bird watchers now number some 40 million people in the USA, and feed many rural western economies with our tourism dollars, and we will not stand for your sedition.

As Oregon’s Congressman Earl Blumenauer just stated, “Armed insurrection is terrorism. The situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge shouldn’t be allowed to fester but should be dealt with firmly, swiftly and fairly. The continued disruption to the community of Burns and occupation of a federal facility is unacceptable. Those involved should be arrested and prosecuted”

And for those of us who are also lawyers (I for example just happen to have a law degree of U of Oregon), whether the Feds prosecute you or not (and we will do all in our power to ensure they do), we will put every civil suit against you and God knows you have given us plenty to work with, so you will know once and for all that your odious actions have real consequences.

We stand now and forever with wildlife, and you seditionists and terrorists are about to find out that’s there is a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out and poach innocent animals, will never be able to outrun or hide from.

Peggy is hardly alone in her beliefs as she so states. But Peggy has a law degree, so watch out! Note that she stands rabid-like with wildlife but she makes no mention of constitutionally protected property rights, or legal allotment rights that run with deeds to the land. Environmentally-saturated government agencies (BLM, USFW, Forest Service) have overturned, ignored, or illegally rolled over these allotments.

Peggy won’t be happy until the entire West is gobbled up by the federal government and turned into her own personal wildlife refuge so she can watch birds and take pictures. It makes no difference to her that well over half the protein Americans and a good portion of non-Americans consume, is raised in the Western United States that she would like to see locked up.

And it’s not just birds these radical environmentalists want to protect. We have to have carnivores, (people eaters) like wolves and grizzly bears, re-entered into the wilderness as well. It doesn’t make any difference that wolves and grizzly bears decimate cattle, sheep and wild deer and elk herds, kill domestic animals and sometimes little kids. Oh, and let’s not forget that these wolves and grizzly bears have to have protected habitat, millions of acres of protected habitat that infringe on private property with insanely wide buffers and no public access. If you shoot one of these meat eaters to protect yourself, you go to jail.

Then we have to save every river, stream, creek, lake, dry wash and riverbed for salmon that the Indians harvest 50% of the catch each year because of the 1974 Federal Judge Boldt decision. The government has spent and is spending billions of your tax dollars restoring fish habitat and in so doing they have violated constitutionally protected property rights with reckless abandon.

Just ask Raven Webb of Southwestern Washington State on what salmon habitat restoration of the Grays River did to her property. They flooded her land and her home and literally drove her off of it. But after they flooded her land, the offending environmental NGO’s offered her 10 cents on the dollar for it. There was no eminent domain, no legal condemnation and no just compensation for her. There was just inundation and confiscation. Confiscation, by any other name, is stealing. Read her story HERE.

In addition, private landowners and other taxpayers get to pay for brand new, very expensive habitat culverts under every road in the Western States so the little fishies and furry creatures can travel up or downstream, unimpeded by the White man’s arrogance and his damnable roads. Can you imagine how many streams and rivers our public roads cross? The number of crossings is in the tens of thousands. Can you then imagine how much it is going to cost to replace every stream crossing with expensive habitat culverts? Nevertheless, the “law” demands it and the taxpayer gets to pay for it.

It doesn’t end there. Because of a supposedly endangered two-inch fish in Southern Oregon and Northern California Rivers, the Indians, environmentalists and the government have shut off irrigation waters to one of the most fertile agricultural areas in America and put over 40,000 farmers and field hands out of work, not to mention the loss of crops and millions of dollars in lost revenue.

Now, the Indians, environmentalists and the government want to destroy dams on rivers for fish habitat and in so doing remove electricity production, flood control and irrigation that farmers, ranchers and even city folk have benefited from for over 100 years. That’s not just nuts, it’s criminal. Had California been building more dams for electricity production, flood control and irrigation they wouldn’t be having a water shortage right now. But environmentalists won’t let them build dams.

When there is no food to eat or meat to consume, or the price is so high only the rich can eat, blame the Indians, the environmentalists and the government.

But you see ladies and gentlemen, long before we run out of food and rangeland to grow protein for our very survival, or the prices get too high, there will be a rebellion in the West, as “Cowboys” punctuate their promise of “push me again and prepare to defend your life.” These non-city-bred souls are rugged, trained to the forces of nature and prepared to give their lives to protect their rights if you push them too far. They have already been pushed too far and their patience wears very thin. The itching to push back is becoming irresistible. The occupation at the Malheur Nature Preserve in Oregon is a manifestation of the itch to push back.

Several times we have written that major changes to a nation, a culture, a financial system, or commerce are triggered by a “Flash Point.” Wars, revolutions, rising government tyranny, cultural, financial and political upheaval and major national disasters are examples of those flash points. Starve the people and they will rise up because they have nothing to lose. Take away rights the masses perceive to be theirs by nature or by God and the people will rise up. Over-regulate or strangle the people’s lifestyle, as government is doing to rural landowners across America and the people will rise up as they are doing in Oregon. The Oregon standoff could be one of those flash points that trigger’s a Western land war between landowners, the government, the Indians and radical environmentalists.

Lie to the people about important events and the people will rise up when they discover the lie. Today’s government lie is radical environmentalism that includes millions of locked-up acreage, purposely manipulated climate change science and endangered species laws.

But America is wholly different than any other country. In America when the people rise up against government they have weapons ala the Second Amendment. Most in the West take the Second Amendment very seriously and are heavily armed.

Already another armed group from Idaho has told the FBI that they are going to take up armed positions around the Malheur Nature Preserve compound. Although the Bundy militia occupiers don’t want them there, the fact that more armed citizens are coming to Oregon is an indication of the “brush fire” about to erupt in the West. The previous standoffs at the Jarbidge River in Northern Nevada and the Klamath Bucket Brigade event in Southern Oregon against federal government agencies are further examples of a growing “brush fire.”

Besides the organized militias in America, there are the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters that have their eyes and ears wide open to what government is doing. They are following the Bundy and Hammond events very closely.

We warn those who would light that “brush fire”, be it government, environmentalists, Indians, bird watchers, carnivore lovers, or socialists alike, you are literally playing with fire. Push too hard and you will set off a land war that will sweep across the West like a wind-driven grass fire. People must understand that when a forest fire is lit, there is no telling which way it will go. The question is, what (or who) will set it off? Could it be the takeover of Western private and public lands by the government the Indians and the environmentalists? Could it be Obama Care, illegal aliens getting amnesty, Syrian refugees, Cap and Trade, gun control, foreign terrorism, the one-world-order, radical environmentalism, endangered species law, the fraud that is climate change, the brainwashing of our kids in our public schools, or trashing the Constitution by politicians? Was Jefferson right? Does a society need a revolution every hundred years? Messy, but could it be necessary if freedom is to be defended, maintained and preserved?

Because Americans have lived under the umbrella of freedom for over 230 years, the pilot light of liberty burns in the hearts of most of us. Although slow to ignite after years of in-attention, freedom’s flame is rising out of the ashes of neglect and apathy. Spot fires of freedom are erupting all over the nation. Obama has lit many of those spot fires. After years of neglect, America is coming alive like never before. Trump is playing into those spot fires with great success.

It would be wise for the forces of evil who would attempt to drag us where we don’t want to go, to take a step back before the raw fury of armed American power is unleashed on those without honor, who have betrayed our trust, ripped up our blue print of liberty, attempted to destroy our American heritage and are working to tear our institutions of freedom asunder. We do not advocate or condone violence but there comes a point, as Winston Churchill so aptly stated and so often repeated:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

The cowboys, ranchers, farmers and landowners of America, whether West or East, are right in their fight to preserve constitutional property rights. Because without property rights, no other rights are possible. The National Association of Rural Landowners (NARLO) are staunch advocates for the American rural landowner. We are celebrating our 10th year.

“If you own rural land, the government and the environmentalists want it and intend to take it, regardless of your property rights engraved in the U. S. Constitution.” -Ron Ewart

In our recent article entitled “Secession or War – American West Against the East”, we described what was going on with those that run this country in the East being in direct conflict with those who live in the West. This festering conflict has led to the Bundy Ranch armed standoff in Nevada in 2014 and now the Hammond Ranch armed standoff in Southeastern Oregon by the Bundy-led militia. The reader might wonder how did we get to this point where guns became necessary to protect property rights?

Since the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969, the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 (EPA) and finally the Endangered Species Act in 1973 (ESA), a radical environmental mindset has invaded America like a rapidly metastasizing disease. This environmental disease has become so pervasive you can find it in all of government, in our public schools, our colleges, the courts, the news media and even corporate America has become a victim. Elements of this environmental disease are woven subtly into commercial advertising. The EPA, the BLM, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife, the U. S. National Forest and the U. S. Interior agencies became the unrelenting, Gestapo-like enforcement arm for NEPA and the ESA.

One year prior to the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1972, the United Nations held an “Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro from which Agenda 21 was born. Most of the world nations signed off on Agenda 21, including that great conservative president, George H. W. Bush, on behalf of the American people. In reality, Agenda 21 was and is nothing more than an outright, open declaration of war on American constitutionally protected private property rights, driven by radical environmentalism and social justice.

Then in 1976 the United Nations held a “Declaration of Human Settlements” conference in Vancouver, Canada where international environmental, land use and socialist policies where laid out and established as permanent guidelines. The following paragraph was taken directly from the policy paper coming out of the Vancouver conference.

Preamble:

Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.

The UN preamble flies in the face of American property rights and the U. S. Constitution. The UN is not America’s friend but it maybe too late to do anything about it. The U. S. Government and all state and local governments have adopted this preamble and Agenda 21 either in part or in whole and they have passed laws to implement them. States, counties and cities have even adopted international building, utility and environmental codes. The one-world-order was institutionalized into American law years ago, right under our collective noses.

President Clinton established the Council on Sustainable Development in June of 1993 to further integrate Agenda 21 policies into American law. The American Planning Association has adopted many of the tenets of Agenda 21. Those tenets end up in city and county land use comprehensive plans all over America. This disease of radical environmentalism has propagated rapidly and is now completely institutionalized into the American system of law. Were you ever asked to offer an opinion on these environmental changes to law, or attend a public hearing? Hardly! Your “representatives” just did it, unilaterally. Only environmentalists and government employees came to the public hearings.

What is the result of all this environmental national and international gerrymandering? Powerful and very wealthy environmental groups have sprouted up all over America. NEPA, ESA and the EPA rules have given these environmental groups a feeding ground of federal law allowing them to sue the government every time the government violates its own laws. The government violates its own laws all the time. The environmentalists win most of the time and with each win they reap multi-million dollar awards of your tax dollars and become even wealthier. In addition, wealthy philanthropists donate millions to environmental groups. Meanwhile, freedom and property rights groups like NARLO are starved of the funds necessary to keep up their fight to preserve the Republic.

One such radical environmental group is the Center for Biological Diversity (CFBD). They have become filthy rich suing the government over the Endangered Species Act (ESA). First, they research species to find if any species are threatened or endangered according to “their” science. Then they send a list of what species they think that may be threatened or endangered to the ESA and demand they be listed. If the government doesn’t list the species within the ESA regulations, CFBD sues the government. CFBD wins all the time because the courts have an environmental bias.

We have seen this bias first hand in a court case against a private property owner near Tacoma. WA. The judge openly displayed his environmental bias in the court transcripts. The man was sent to jail for 6 months and fined $20,000 for cleaning out a ditch on his own property. When he cleaned out the ditch the ditch wasn’t in a wetland. The land use authorities declared it a wetland after the fact and charged him with a crime that did not exist. The judge was intent upon making an environmental example out of this hapless landowner who had done nothing wrong.

But let’s get back to the Center for Biological Diversity and the armed stand off by the Bundy militia at the Hammond Ranch in Southeastern Oregon. Shortly after the Bundy standoff commenced, the CFBD issued the following statement in their newsletter.

“The armed men who took over a federal building in southeastern Oregon are part of a long-running campaign of violence, intimidation and extremist paranoia that has festered for decades in the West over the issue of public lands — the previous standoff made in 2014 by Cliven Bundy in Nevada. Among the demands at the latest standoff is to shut down Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which provides crucial protections for wildlife — especially birds that migrate through the area.

Members of the men’s group have said they’re willing to kill and be killed if necessary.

“This is the latest in a long string of armed, right-wing thugs attempting to seize America’s public lands and enact their paranoid, anti-government dream bought by guns and intimidation,” said the Center for Biological Diversity’s Kierán Suckling. “What’s happening in Oregon is a logical outgrowth of right-wing rhetoric that demonizes even the concept of federal land — places like national parks and forests — and villainizes those who believe that publicly owned land should be more than just a source of profit for ranchers and corporations.”

Examining these statements by CFBD reflects an extreme environmental bias and total ignorance of private property rights. Their use of “campaign of violence, intimidation and extremist paranoia” and “thugs” rhetoric subverts the principles upon which these armed patriots stand. They are constitutional principles, not some fly-by-night trivia.

Since the mid 1960’s national and international (UN) radical environmental policies have come in direct conflict with American constitutional principles. Environmental policies have won. The EPA, BLM and the US Fish and Wildlife are owned and operated, lock, stock and barrel, by environmental zealots. Local and state governments are staffed by environmentally brainwashed educated idiots from liberal colleges.

The Bundy Ranch armed standoff in 2014 and the current Hammond Ranch standoff in Oregon have been triggered by the freedom-robbing disease of radical environmentalism. Contrary to what the news is reporting, the current Bundy militia in Oregon DO NOT want to overthrow the government. They want constitutional justice for all rural landowners. Listen to what the Bundy standoff is really all about from KrisAnne Hall, a constitutional attorney, at this link.

These men and women and millions of rural Americans have seen the steady, unconscionable and unconstitutional erosion of the basic rights of property ownership in America and they have had enough. There is no alternative left for them but to draw a line in the sand.

We ask all of our readers to say what they would do if the government reached in without legal authority and took your home and your livelihood away from you, or burned your home down? What if they charged you with a trumped up crime and threw you in jail for five years? Would you just stand by and do nothing? It is way past time for rural landowners to stand up and lay it on the line. The Bundy militia has done just that. They are the catalyst to light one big giant “brush fire” across the West. We hope they do.

The Bundy Ranch militia in Nevada in 2014 and now the armed standoff in Oregon is a direct threat to radical environmentalists and they know that if the rural landowner movement catches on, the “cat is out of the bag” and their political and financial power will start drying up, literally at the point of a gun. The Founding Fathers did not insert the Second Amendment into the Bill of Rights for hunting.

Although we do not support lawless acts, nevertheless, as a national advocate for rural landowners (NARLO) for the last 10 years, we applaud and support the Bundy militia standoff because they and we speak for rural landowners everywhere. We urge all Americans who believe in the principle causes of these brave men to send them well wishes. They need to know the people are behind them so that they can endure what is certain to come their way at the hands of the federal government, egged on by environmentalists like the CFBD. Send your well wishes addressed to Ammon Bundy, Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, 36391 Sodhouse Lane, Princeton, OR 97721. Do it today.

But the longer the Bundy militia occupy the federal building on the nature preserve in Oregon, the urgency rises for an armed engagement by an overwhelming federal military force against a puny militia. They may be “hit” before this article is in print. There are indications of a Special Ops Force headed to Oregon. Who will win is already pre-ordained. The potential for another Ruby Ridge or Waco to take place on American soil is possible, where the people, standing up for constitutional principles, are taken down by the government that is criminally, morally and constitutionally in the wrong.

If you really want to know the truth about the BLM vs. Hammond Ranch story, we strongly recommend that you listen to Greg Walden’s impassioned testimony on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives. Walden is an Oregon Republican U. S. Congressman that represents the district where the Hammond’s live and he personally knows the Hammond’s. Watch the Video.

Now the reader might get the idea that we are anti-environment. Just the opposite is true. The National Association of Rural Landowners’ (NARLO) motto is:

“Protecting the environment is laudable.
Trashing the Constitution to do it, is treasonous!”

The truth is, rural landowners are far better stewards of the land than ineffective, hopelessly corrupt government agencies that collude with national and international radical environmentalists to steal constitutionally protected property rights. The stories of government mis-management of federal lands are legendary and have caused billions of dollars in property and environmental damage. Need we mention EPA’s release of toxic substances into a Utah river from a mine they were managing? That release polluted an entire river drainage area all the way to the Colorado River. Did anyone get fired or go to jail? Of course not. It’s government.

Ladies and gentlemen, the brutal reality is that only a ground swell of national rural outrage, like the Bundy militia, will reverse the course of socialism and environmental extremism in America and return us to a Constitutional Republic. Farmers, ranchers and rural landowners can and should be the catalyst to incite that outrage because they are being required to bear the entire burden of environmental protection, while city folk get off scot-free. Rural landowners own the ‘land’ and the ‘land’ is their power, if they will use that power ……. before they lose it.

The NARLO website is a treasure trove of information for rural landowners. If you are a rural landowner, you owe it to yourself to investigate the hundreds of articles, valuable information and tools that exist there. Tell us your story and we will devote our weekly column to it. We even have developed a sample petition to help citizens in counties and cities to demand their city or county cancel the contracts with the United Nations International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). The petition is contained in Section “A”, Chapter A3 of NARLO’S Rural Landowner Handbook.

ICLEI consults with American cities and counties on how to plan for sustainable development and smart growth under the guidelines of Agenda 21 (1972 & 2012) and the Conference on Human Settlements, established in Vancouver in 1976. ICLEI is a Trojan Horse for international environmentalism and is an enemy of freedom and American constitutional property rights. Either fight this radical environmental monster or watch America slide into third world status where freedom and property rights are dictated by a King, or an Absolute Democrat Monarchy.

Every time a gun is used in an accidental shooting, a crime, a murder, or terrorist attack in the United States, whether it be a handgun, rifle, AK-47, M-15, or machine pistol, the Democrats and especially President Obama, immediately call for more gun control, magazine limits, or outright confiscation of guns from lawful Americans, in spite of an all-powerful constitutional amendment and U. S. Supreme Court decisions that give authority to all legal citizens to own firearms. Each single event becomes a news story that runs for days, if not weeks or months. The liberal news media gleefully promotes and champions the Democrat’s plea. It makes no difference to the Democrats that most of the crimes, lone wolf, or terrorist attacks would not have been stopped by more gun control.

Humans, by their very nature, tend to be violent in certain circumstances. So let’s put gun violence in perspective with other forms of human violence.

Just recently, a homeless black woman in her twenties, with an infant in the back seat of her car, took to the sidewalk in Las Vegas and killed one person and seriously injured over 30 other people. Apparently, she did it on purpose. So she used her car as a weapon to kill.

Not too long before the Las Vegas incident, there was another similar case at a University of Oklahoma Homecoming parade where a woman purposely drove her car into the crowds of people watching the parade. Four people were killed, including an infant and at least 33 people were injured, some quite seriously.

Then there is the case of the drunk teenager who wiped out, no killed, four people and the corrupt court came up with a new legal term “affluenza” to get rich people off from heinous crimes. How many people are killed by cars operated by drunk drivers? According to the CDC, 10,076 people were killed in 2014 by alcohol-impaired drivers. Alcohol related deaths with cars account for almost one third of all traffic deaths. God knows how many are killed by the now legalized marijuana in four states.

These are just recent cases that rapidly disappeared from the news cycle. There are many more we could relate where a car is accidently or purposely used to kill people.

Terrorists have not only used airplanes to kill people in America and other parts of the world, but they have also used cars, knives and explosives. Just ask an Israeli.

In the United States cars are heavily regulated in their manufacture and operation and people require licenses to drive them. Road signage and traffic controls are everywhere. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that cars are deadly weapons and kill people. From the Democrat’s rationale, there should be more car control and maybe even there should be a new law to confiscate cars from dangerous people, or maybe cars should be taken away from everyone because they are so deadly. But alas, the Democrats are and have been silent on the issue of deaths by car. Only deaths by guns activate their adrenalin.

According to the FBI for homicides in 2011, 8,583 people died by firearms. In 2013 32,719 people died from car crashes and over 2,000,000 were injured. In that same year of 2013, 1,694 people died by knife stab wounds and 496 people died by blunt objects like baseball bats and hammers. 728 people died by the use of hands and feet. If deaths or injuries were the rationale to pass laws, it is obvious that government should pass laws outlawing guns, cars, baseball bats, knives, hands, feet and even swimming pools.

But there is a much larger issue here that transcends outlawing knives, guns and cars. From the observations of this author and many others who use their intellect instead of their emotions, it is clear that Democrats are the party of excessive controls, regulation and “TAKE AWAYS.” Democrats want to take away our guns. They want to take away our money for welfare, social justice, environmental protection, legal and illegal immigration and climate change to control us, regulate us and buy votes. But they don’t want to spend any money on maintaining a strong military. There are so few votes in the military industrial complex.

Democrats now control or excessively regulate our land, our food, our water, our money, our energy, our cars, our guns, our businesses, our schools, our health care and every other aspect of our lives. Except for a few instances in the last 100 years, Democrats have unilaterally controlled the American political process, along with the help of the unions, public schools, academia and the news media. Democrats have taken over America like the Communist Party tried to take over the movie industry in the mid 1940’s. But the Democrats managed to take over the movie industry instead. One man’s Democrat is another man’s Communist or Socialist. The movie industry is a powerful tool for propaganda, mind control and political money for Democrats and have been used extensively for such Democrat purposes.

Apparently, Democrats don’t think that Americans are smart enough to take care of themselves and yet the Democrats have shown us that they aren’t even capable of managing anything they touch, including domestic and foreign policy. Under Democrat control, states and cities have, or are going broke. Under Democrats, the national debt has risen exponentially to the point that it may be virtually impossible to ever pay back. Under Democrats, the economy is barely functioning, with tepid growth at best due to Democrat-sponsored massive regulations.

Under this Democrat President, the national debt has almost doubled since he took office seven years ago. Think about it. Obama, a Democrat, has doubled the national debt in seven years that it took over 200 years to build. Under Democrats and especially this Obama Democrat President, our position in the world has dropped precipitously. Our enemies don’t fear us and our friends don’t trust us.

Of course, the only reason that people would vote for a Democrat is because Democrats TAKE AWAY money from everyone else, money Democrats have no right to, and unconstitutionally hand it over to those who vote for Democrats. Those voters are now in the majority and by keeping the Democrats in power, they allow Democrats to control us, regulate us and TAKE AWAY our money and other things from us, you know, like our freedom. The hard truth is, Democrats want you to pay for their compassion so that Democrats can buy votes to stay in power.

The Democrats have been so successful over the last 100 years they even have the Republicans joining them so that Republicans can remain a viable political party but devoid of principle and honor. The current Republican House and Senate leaders are no different than the Democrats and in fact are aiding and abetting the Democrats and this President.

The single answer to this Democrat-Republican control dilemma can only come from the people themselves and the people show no signs of wanting to change anything. Except for a few million of us, most of the people like it just the way it is with their hands deep in the public till.

One day they will be forced to pay a horrendous price and that price might very well come in the form of mass starvation, slavery, or may be even conquered by a foreign power. The Biblical phrase that says the meek shall inherit the earth is a myth. The meek are nothing but collateral, slaves and conscripts for the powerful and always have been. Only the courageous and the strong, in mind, spirit and body, will prevail in the long run. The strong always carry the weak on their backs, either out of compassion, or out of necessity.

Outlawing knives, baseball bats and cars, as we suggested in the title of this article, will not change anything, whether the Democrats do it, or the Republicans do it. Nor will more gun controls change anything. Americans will still be heavily regulated and controlled by an Absolute Democrat Monarchy and American sovereignty and freedom are, have been and will continue to be the losers.
