Fundamentalism: Rigid Rectitude

                                        Revolutionaries

     Chief Inspector Dreyfus: “How can an idiot become a policeman? Answer me that!”
     Inspector Clouseau: “It’s very simple, sir. All he must do is enlist!”
     Chief Inspector Dreyfus: “Shut up!”

Recently I stumbled across a New Age augur, claiming to be a Revolutionary with prescient powers. Great exhalations of Feminist dogma, disguised as New Age mantras exuded from her lusty, loquacious lips. I’m behind the times, I know. I’d never heard of Teal Swan until the year 2019 had spent a third of itself. I was not the least impressed nor astonished at her “Message”, but in the response of the credulous comments appended to the Y.T. video. Revolutionaries are notoriously skilled story-tellers. They are always well informed on those topics uppermost in the minds of the masses, and skillful in weaving what sounds like a New Narrative, promising prosperity, whether financial, temporal, or spiritual. An ancient Jewish philosopher wrote about the phenomenon:

“Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.”—Ecclesiastes 1:10

All Revolutionaries have this one quality in common—they know how to get at the misfit’s unsatisfied itch:

“I must follow the people because I am their leader.”—Ledru-Rollin, French radical politician

As everyone knows who has been subjected to mosquito bites, or ivy rashes, the itch can become so intolerable that any means of relief, no matter how inane, will be tried. So it is with the spiritual quality of human life, and every generation manufactures its gurus and success philosophers to satisfy the restlessness or meaninglessness of their petty existence. Wrote America’s hobo philosopher, Eric Hoffer:

“A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it offers from the anxieties, barrenness and meaninglessness of an individual existence. It cures the poignantly frustrated not by conferring on them an absolute truth or by remedying the difficulties and abuses which made their lives miserable, but by freeing them from their ineffectual selves—and it does this by enfolding and absorbing them into a closely knit and exultant corporate whole.”

“When people revolt in a totalitarian society, they rise not against the wickedness of the regime but its weakness.”—p43 The True Believer

“There is apparently some connection between dissatisfaction with oneself and a proneness to credulity. The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic. There is no hope for the frustrated in the actual and the possible. Salvation can come to them only from the miraculous, which seeps through a crack in the iron wall of inexorable reality…. A peculiar side of credulity is that it is often joined with a proneness to imposture. The association of believing and lying is not characteristic solely of children. The inability or unwillingness to see things as they are promotes both gullibility and charlatanism.”—p59 The True Believer

“The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. He echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already ‘know.’’’—p105 The True Believer

In America, we heard such ideas before, with the founding of the Federal Republic by Revolutionaries who appended their names to its Constitution. Benjamin Franklin was one of the chief revolutionaries, a skillful and persuasive orator. He understood what was uppermost in people’s minds, and made this confession:

“We began planning the Revolutionary War in order to issue our own money again.”….“The inability of the Colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war.”

Often, such Revolutionaries create the very condition that germinates the revolutionary spirit. Franklin as a 23 year-old businessman (1729), persuaded the colonies to switch to paper money as the means of resolving the exit of gold and silver currency from the colonies. As informed persons of monetary theory know, this only works until someone decides to exploit its weakness. It was Franklin himself, who once again created that leverage point, when he shot off his mouth (age 45, 1751) about the Colonies’ success with paper money among agents of the British banking system. He remarked later in life the consequences of his actions, without actually confessing culpability (another quality of a Revolutionary):

“Paper money was in those times our universal currency. But, it being the instrument with which we combated our enemies, they resolved to deprive us of its use by depreciating it; and the most effectual means they could contrive was to counterfeit it. The artists they employed performed so well, that immense quantities of these counterfeits, which issued from the British government in New York, were circulated among the inhabitants of all the States [1779], before the fraud was detected. This operated considerably in depreciating the whole mass, first, by the vast additional quantity, and next by the uncertainty in distinguishing the true from the false; and the depreciation was a loss to all and the ruin of many.”

So he and his cohort businessmen planned and executed the Revolution, persuading the arch enemy of the British Empire to support their cause (for which they would receive exclusive trade rights, later reneged upon by presidents George and John), dragging the rest of the nation through an unwanted conflict with their British cousins. Knowing that without further safeguards the new nation would falter, they had to put in the hands of the propertied and businessmen the power to make and regulate money, as well as commerce. Reformation of abuses just wouldn’t do the job:

“A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.”—E.R. Bulwer-Lytton

What did they inscribe on the back of the new paper money? New Order of the Ages. Was there a new order? No. Not at all. Just a transfer of power, and a return to strict orthodoxy which is the objective of every totalitarian regime in fomenting a revolution. Every “new age” is nothing more than a repackaging of cultural beliefs, folklore, dogma, and amalgamations of ancient or obscure beliefs.

“New” religions are founded by revolutionaries who exploit the drifting liberalism that slowly wends its way through society. Such was the case with a backwoods con artist in the early 1800s, who ultimately was murdered for his extreme revolutionary practices. Shortly before his murder, having completely roped himself of his self-importance, he had himself crowned by his select priests as King over the whole earth, in the House of Israel.

This fellow even exalted himself above his ideological predecessor—the Essene who came within a gnats hair of being murder in their commune for blaspheming their beliefs. He escaped their clutches, the attempt to toss him off a cliff into the Sea of Galilee, and went about proselytizing his own brand of orthodoxism composed of modified Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Pythagoreanism, Mithraism, a soteriology all perpetrated by a priestly guard. The “new” commandment he gave to his disciples was not new, but merely contrasted with the vindictive one traditionally held by Jews for centuries:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?” Matthew 5:39-46

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-5

Teal Swan is an exception to the typical revolutionary in this regard; she hasn’t the slightest reservation in telling her marks exactly what she is up to, without actually using the term charlatan. That she is a fraud is indisputable. Those that argue this point, lose sight of the fact that it is never the ideology charlatans purvey that is the center of their fraud. Such people usually are the epitome of personal chaos.

“The men of words are of diverse types. They can be priests, scribes, prophets, writers, artists, professors, students and intellectuals in general….Whatever the type, there is a deep-seated craving common to almost all men of words which determines their attitude to the prevailing order. It is a craving for recognition; a craving for a clearly marked status above the common run of humanity…. There is apparently  an irremediable insecurity at the core of every intellectual, be he noncreative or creative. Even the most gifted and prolific seem to live a life of eternal self-doubting and have to prove their worth anew each day.”—pp132-3 The True Believer

A prophet’s shame is his failure at the mundane.  If the objective is impossible then their shame is concealed.  Universally, prophets are busy correcting acolytes while their own house is in disarray. This is the universal characteristic of the professional Do-Gooder. They want to change the world, out of frustration with the impotency to change their own lives. Their personal lives are often a wasteland of failed human relations.  If a person desires to improve their own life, the best choice is not to hearken to the person who has made uncounted mistakes. That is the equivalent of taking a journey and asking a fellow traveler what roads not to take. You may be warned of hazards, but it doesn't help you achieve your destination efficiently and safely. The traveler worthy of counseling with is the person who successfully arrived at their destination with a minimum of impediment. The Apache understood this principle well, and it made them a formidable obstacle for the US government. The Apache followed the person who was most successful. When one desires a role-model to success, it is the person who has the highest success record, not the petty philosopher who is saturated with personal failings.

Teal Swan’s personal life is a disaster, and no role-model for anyone. What she craves most is not personal redemption, or salvation from her alleged ritual abuse. It is the gratification of her vanity—being center stage to all within the sound of her voice and gaze of her eyes. I grew up with a sister just like this, and recognize the personality traits immediately. I also made friends with a neighbor girl in my youth who proved to be the same kind of personality. They manufactured all manner of abuse and victimage in order to manipulate persons of power and influence, and gratify their insatiable need for adulation. The neighbor told me stories years after our youth about all the torment, abuse, and disadvantages she endured as a child, continuing right up to the latest adult setback. The stories were fantastic in the extreme. They shared the same surreal quality of the abuse accusations of my sister against our father, supposedly suppressed memories brought to light through hypnotherapy and regressive cognitive therapy. Teal’s involvement with the well-publicized psychotherapist fraud of the child abuse scandals in 1980s Utah is known. Yet people are still taken in by persons of such blatant artificial rectitude. It used to be common knowledge that Utah was the scam capital of the United States—more businesses start and fail there than in any other State. The same area Teal moved to as a precocious, but ignored child in a small town. Teal Swan is the kind of person Voltaire exposed:

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities...."

What man or father, would recommend to his son or daughter the philosophical babble and turpitude of a woman who sells her ideology and role-modeling using provocative, scantily clad photos of herself? One who views Adolf Hitler and Jim Jones as admirable, misunderstood characters? A person who deftly disguises her Feminist injunctions upon masculinity in order for her feminine qualities to blossom and thrive (the irresponsibility of a child)?

Some years ago I grew weary of the media barrage driven by two-bit success philosophers and gurus. We all know them. Wayne Dyer, Stephen Covey, Norman Peale, Napolean Hill, Alan Watts, Steve Harvey, Jordan Peterson, Timothy Leary, a host of slicksters in the business motivational circuit, and every other common celebrity found on public television. These are the people who publish volumes of “How To” books, run talk shows on marriage, sex, and hetero relations. A quick peek into their personal lives nearly always reveals numerous failures, if not outright disaster. Such inspection nearly always also reveals an ideology and rigid adherence to it that cannot deal with common exceptions and life’s bewildering setbacks. I decided to write down in short pamphlet form the Octagonal Qualities of the Obnoxious Success Philosopher, or Blockhead Squared Syndrome. They are:

         1. Success Obsession
         2. Merchandize
         3. Gift of Gab
         4. Restate the Obvious
         5. Analyze, Systematize, Codify
         6. Mythologize
         7. Label & Hammer
         8. Play the Pipe

I am reminded of certain lyrics of the Moody Blues, a rock band well versed in Far-Eastern mysticism, who produced an entire album exposing the spiritual and philosophical impotency of such ideology:

Mystery spead it's cloak
Across the sky
We'd lost our way
Shadows fell from trees
They knew why
Then thru the leaves a light broke thru
A path lost for years lead us thru

House of four doors
I could live there forever
House of four doors
Would it be there forever?
Loneliness, the face of pilgrims eyes was known
As the door opened wide

Beauty they had found before my eyes to see
To the next door we came

Love of music showed in everything we heard
Thru the third door where are we?

Enter in all ye who seek to find within
As the plaque said on the last door

Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Along the coast you'll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear.
So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back on the ground.
He'll fly so high, he'll swoop so low.
Timothy Leary.

He'll fly his astral plane.
He'll take you trips around the bay.
He'll bring you back the same day.
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Walking through that door
Outside we came nowhere at all
Perhaps the answer’s here
Not there anymore
Then in our hearts the light broke through
A path lost for years is there in view
House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors
Rest of life's life forever
House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors

A few short years ago I asked my youngest sister why in the middle of her life she had taken to moving around so much. She replied that she was looking for her life’s purpose. She was doing the same things our father had done, going to and fro upon the face of the planet, searching for his Utopia in the form of Hacienda Honey. I told her one’s purpose is found in aspiring to accomplish that which one loves the most, and that life’s meaning becomes what we have spent our lives doing. I reminded her that our maternal grandparents were never dissatisfied with their long lives, because they had considered life to be an adventure, enjoying the richness of new experiences, and learning from their mistakes wherever possible. The point of it being we explore what we are made of, and live life according to our own intelligence, not crutching through life on the agenda of others. She's been conspicuously quiet on this matter ever since.

Mass Insanity

I can't remember the last time checking the headlines for the day when I could read a news article covering something positive and encouraging about the world. These days I have to dig into obscure posts by part-time writers covering developments in their chosen profession. Virtually everything in the mainstream channels indicates the leaders of nations are mad, and like a virus, is spreading throughout the population with people forcing others to do their bidding, sometimes at the end of a gun barrel.

One indicator of mass insanity is the state of medicine. The frequency of "false flag" diseases announced in the press has multiplied since the HIV scare of the 80s. Despite the mounting evidence to the contrary, the populace is being subjected to a barrage of PR campaign for vaccinations of every conceivable kind.

Another indicator is the forced imposition of medical treatments that have a high fatality rate. Cancer treatment tops the list, having become the most lucrative of medical procedures administered. Children suffering from cancer, and even some adults, are being forced into these expensive procedures which hardly have a success rate better than non-treatment. And the call for more donations to the cause continues, while the chief cause of cancer is nutrition--the consumption of refined sugar and HFCS known to feed the malignancy for over a half century packaged into virtually every product on the grocery shelves.

While nothing new in my lifetime, this forced medical treatment has come home to the family. A relative of my wife is 89 years old. A few years ago he developed diabetes and became incapable of driving himself around. Being a physically active person who loved working with his hands and being outdoors this development evacuated the rest of his life force. With nothing to look forward to but his imminent demise he tried accelerating the process by discontinuing his drugs. His kidneys shut down and hospice stepped in to manage regular dialysis. His wife who had been trying to care for him began exhibiting signs of dementia which has progressed almost to the point of non-recognition of family members. When he had a heart attack recently, the hospice nurse spent over fifteen minutes trying to revive him. Ultimately she succeeded, but he shows signs of having lost much of his brain functions. The couple now in an assisted living facility, he cannot recall much of his life, nor can he assert control of his daily activities. He is in pain constantly, connected to intravenous feeds and machines to keep him alive. But he has nothing to live for. Everyone is striving to make him "comfortable", including his children who thought this solution to his advantage.

But there is nowhere he can go in this modern world where he can simply lie down and expire. Knowing their deteriorating condition, a year ago we planned to visit them one last time this summer. At this point we both consider his departure from this massive, expensive effort to "make him comfortable" before we arrive to be his last gift. But he has no rights, no one will honor his desire to expire. They both no longer have the mental acuity to demand it. Meanwhile the $$$ keep rolling in to the medical coffers.

The Charade of Politcal Propaganda

The Hopi (among other tribes) have the tradition in their sacred lore that the world of Man has been destroyed and recreated several times. They say that another is coming soon. What better evidence have we that they are correct about the antiquity of Man than this: We have forgotten those calamities. I can think of no better allegory of it than the nature of man’s memory; at birth long-term memory is virtually non-existent, while short-term memory governs all our development. By the age of senility it is reversed, and we can’t remember who just farted, or where we put our dentures. So it is with humanity and what we seem capable of learning and retaining.

Reincarnationists propose that somehow, despite having no recollection of a former life, we figure out where we screwed up and eventually get our act together. Some of them however, think we come back because being here is fun—there is nothing better to do. Frankly, I find such an ideology the very expression of hubris and vanity. This observation aside, the One Thing (RIP, Jack) Man has never gotten through his head, much less retained over the years, is the principle of Divide and Conquer.

Just what do you think is the modus operandi of those movers and shakers behind partisan politics? For centuries, if not millennia, the ploy used to gain power is to divide the opinions of the masses into two groups, which is then managed so that at the very least, people will be in favor of the least evil. But choosing one evil over another is still empowering evil, and eventually the twain consolidate into one—Conquer.

Now do you understand what is going on between Trump and Hillary? Listen, there has not been a single presidential candidate since 1913 who was not also a darling of the Establishment. Every one has been a member of the CFR, or the cabal that was its predecessor. The Establishment is NOT worried about Trump taking office. Nobody of wealth ever gets to be affluent but what they have and do pay dues to these people who control the world’s money. How do you think Ross Perot got defeated? Why do you think only two political parties are covered in the corporate owned Media? Take a look sometime at the corporations whose top officers are members of the CFR. Look at who are officers of the Federal Reserve. It is so long a list you risk developing esotropia. Where do you suppose they come from? Anyone who has emerged as a financial tycoon has been favored and/or controlled through those at the top, grooming them as eventual replacements. Trump is no exception. As a negotiator he knows how to bullshit.

It happened before, but most people today not having direct experience with the rise of National Socialism cannot discern this strategy.  The supposed antipathy of the Establishment toward Trump is a pretext, an intrigue to disguise their hand behind his popularity. This is how they modulate the energy of dissent and still come out achieving their objectives.

But the memory capacity of most US citizens is like that of the toddler, or the cult dupe, who allow themselves to be swindled over and over again.

“A fool cannot be protected from his folly.  He will allow himself to be repeatedly swindled.”—Robert Heinlein

They never stop to think that other candidates far more capable also present themselves, because they’re too lazy to go look and discover they’ve been hornswoggled. But better yet, they don’t step back and fully grasp how the entire system of our present government is rigged by the employment of bribery. Money always talks, especially in a deflated or inflated economy.

Personally what I find so disgusting during political campaigns is not the supercilious speeches and media hype. It is my fellow Americans who repeatedly fall for this time-tested and threadbare ploy of manipulating their perceptions. When are you fellow citizens going to exit the Matrix?

Don’t you understand that creating situations that provoke your ire is precisely how they maintain control of your decisions? What the hell do you think the Brussels explosion was all about? The London bombing? The Spanish bombing? The European immigration problems? The American immigration problems? The mass murder of innocents in Norway? The Boston bombing? The Trade Towers debacle? The Oklahoma bombing? The Davidian massacre?

These are not unrelated events. They’re not caused by individuals going off the deep end because they can’t get social satisfaction. How naïve. Those people are patsies.

“The terrorist is one who lacks skill of persuasion, and seeks to extract on pain of death extreme fervor and faith from his prey. Terrorists arise when the people have lost their vision and self-respect.”—JB’s Book of Dictums

How do I know this? Patterns. A chief skill required in my engineering career was the recognition of patterns. Through that I was able to discern and quickly resolve problems at their root. That skill carried over into the study of history.

It doesn’t take long to recognize the same operations being conducted by the banksters from before the Revolutionary era to today. It was used by the Romans. Used by the moneyed Jews during their occupation. Used by all their national predecessors to earliest recorded history. It is implied in the Pyramid Texts. Pharaohs, Priests, money handlers. Oligarchs, Propagandists, Thieves.

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.…. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”—Hermann Goering, Nuremberg Diary

It is a well established fact openly disseminated to the world during the Iran Contra debacle (Oh thank you! Ollie.) that the CIA is actively involved in the trafficking of contraband drugs, money, weapons, explosives, and the exploitation and subordination of unstable True Believer personalities for the sole purpose of provoking, destabilizing, and/or overthrowing governments with their constitutions around the world. This IS what they do. (Why do you think cannabis, the most versatile plant ever, was made contraband during WWII? Corporations didn’t want their market dominance undercut by wartime shortages. Shortages = higher prices/profits.) The CIA has its roots in the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) of a century ago, as do all the other intelligence agencies established in foreign countries. And they cooperate together in orchestrating these provocations to inflame and terrorize people’s passions. They do this so that some Right or privilege the People will beg to have taken away in the name of security.

Joachim Hagopian’s essay on Global Research (Ruling Elite Grow Desperate), Patrick Buchanan’s article on the Oligarchs killing Trump and the like are obscuring the facts. When did you last hear of anyone motivated by pure altruism? Trump wants to do something about the condition of our country, said he. Oh really? Are we so credible that every previous president who has asserted essentially the same thing for more than a century doesn’t alarm us of a rat at the camera? Naïve and hopelessly gullible, sometimes I think of my fellow Americans. Especially the Millenials and quasi Millennials. The Oligarchs have them tethered by suture thread in their septum..

“When something is proposed for genuine ‘public good’ it will be proposed by the public. When it is proposed by a politician or wanna-be, run for the hills! It is being proposed to enhance their financial condition.”—JB’s Book of Dictums

I can’t help thinking I’m pontificating to the choir here. Those that need to ponder on these things the most are too busy on Facebook trying to impress one another with their regurgitation of hearsay, rather than bending their minds to the study of history. How important is that, you may ask?

JFK tried to do the same thing that Lincoln attempted: print interest free money by an act of Congress. His education in the most prestigious institutions did not alert him to the impending hazard. He met the same fate for the same reason by the same business interests. He was a bright fellow, but did not learn well how the system which propelled his family into wealth was the very system which blew his brains away.

There is no safety from collateral damage inflicted by shadow organizations, except learning the lessons buried in the past, and taking control of your Rights, perceptions, and guarding your privileges. Credulity in a child is sometimes amusing. In an adult it is an abomination.

The Rape and Pillage of Liberty

The Federal Republic of America

“We have but one ORDER in America, and that of the highest degree, the ORDER OF SOVEREIGNTY, and of this ORDER every citizen is  member of his own personal right. Why then have we descended to the base imitation of inferior things? By the event of the Revolution we were put in a condition of thinking originally. The history of past ages shows scarcely anything to us but instances of tyranny and antiquated absurdities. We have copied some of them and experienced the folly of them. . . .” Constitutional Reform (The Thomas Paine Reader P536)

The magnitude of Government Mandated Opiate in the form of propaganda distributed throughout the public school system is unparalleled in the history of Man. Nowhere do we find the production of ideology in social and educative media so extensive that it mimics stage 4 cancer, than is found throughout world civilizations of the last 200 years. We citizens have been served up a diet of misconceptions, distortions, propaganda, and outright lies concerning our country’s history and its political foundations.

Recently Chip Bok produced a cartoon lampooning Mitt Romney which exemplifies the disingenuousness of politicians, and the public’s gullibility: http:/bokbluster.com/category/politics/2016-presidential-campaign-politics-trump/

Of these two public phenomena Hannah Arendt wrote extensively, which I shall examine later.

It ought to be recalled when the creature entitled The United States of America came into being. I doubt that the vast majority of citizens in this country can accurately answer this question. Many will first think that it was when George Washington became President. This is an error. George was never president of the United States of America. George was the first president of The Federal Republic of America. John Hanson, the son of a Swedish immigrant, was the first president of the United States of America, and was followed by six more, until the form of the Union was dissolved. This is the locus of the first lie and its attendant propaganda fed to us in public education and media. Here I differ from the Founding Fathers  Edmund Randolph, who split hairs over the meaning of Federal vs National at the Convention, and James Madison who characterized the Constitution as both Federal and National.  Virtually everyone at the time, particularly among the Delegates, had a different concept of what form of government they were seeking. Franklin’s comment to Peter Collinson of 1754* about no one having an undistracted concept of Union was just as applicable during the Convention of 1787.

How do they get away with it?

First, people are credulous, tending to believe what they hear. If it weren’t for that, much of what exists in modern society would not function. Our money system would soon break down, as it so often nearly has.

Second, people are ordinarily so busy with the maintenance of their daily lives, and the pursuit of individual happiness, they do not take the time to verify what they hear and are taught. They do not stop to digest and analyze and ferret out the implications of what they are told.

Third, that Spirit of ’76, the one that inspired every soul who immigrated to this country to discover their own destiny, unchained from the tyrannies of the feudal systems of Europe, was subverted and systematically dismantled through a radical change in the form of government they had laboriously created.

They had spent their fortunes and their lives to wrest back control of personal and political destiny out of the hands of the British Parliament, King George, and the European bankers. No sooner than they narrowly accomplished this objective, they were sold out by designing men, from the inside, by a conspiracy and fraud, intended to mimic the old British form of government. The first government, the Confederation of the United States of America, was the grand experiment in self-government that sent shock waves around the world. It was this mystique, this bold declaration, this grand opportunity of personal liberty that uprooted people around the planet from their native homelands to the shores of North America.

That Spirit was broken in a matter of eleven years. How?

First, war always creates debt. The United States of America was financially broke. There is no surer path to envy, strife, and disunion than the want of financial solvency. Every newlywed couple meets this dilemma head on.

Second, war makes people physically and spiritually weary. The moment a threat disappears, that hostilities cease, the participants on both sides of the conflict want to return to peaceful pursuits and regain prosperity. It is at this moment they are most vulnerable to plunder. If someone comes along and promises to relieve them of burdens they are weary of they can be easily persuaded to yield up their liberties for comfort. ("If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government." –Dwight Eisenhower) Man, being of natural trust and goodwill in other men, find it easy to surrender their interest in preserving their liberty to someone else, appointed to the task of civic exigencies.

Third, war destroys property. Property is the foundation of wealth, which described differently, is the means by which Man is able to stave off starvation, exposure, disease, and early death. This is the fundamental meaning of the “pursuit of happiness.”

So what happened?

The United States of America, created under the Articles of Confederation, was unable to recompense the volunteer militia who had so valiantly sought to preserve the Union against British depredation. The United States was in debt to the French aristocracy for their assistance in throwing off the British destruction of Colonial money, homes, and property. Their only recourse to service those debts were tariffs, taxes, and printing paper money. All three failed. War destroys personal wealth. Always. The result was near instant insurrection, with the threat of its leaders to disband the Confederation and install George Washington as King.

At length, the Continental Congress deliberated over the causes of the economic situation, and commissioned delegates to address aspects of the Articles of Confederation which did not specify responsibilities in these matters unilaterally among the United States of America. These delegates were sent to Philadelphia to deliberate on how to justly apportion the various States an equitable course of remedy. Those delegates abandoned their directive and duty, and proceeded to usurp power invested in the Continental Congress to change the form of government. This is what took place in the years between the Declaration of Independence, the founding of the United States of America, and the Constitutional Convention. What happened at this convention is at the heart of all the subsequent lies taught the American public.

Not long into the study of the Federal Constitutional convention the investigator discovers the delegates appointed by the Continental Congress, commissioned to revise the Articles of Confederation, did no such thing. Instead they produced a document restructuring the Union of States into a National government, with powers over the States. This act, produced in secret, was a conspiracy, and what they did was commit fraud by conspiracy upon the Continental Congress, the States, and the citizenry. In English common law such fraudulent agreements and declarations are void and non-binding. But at the behest of George Washington in a letter to Congress, they rolled over and complied with it. In essence, this is what George told the Congress:

“Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstance, as on the object to be obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved; and on the present occasion this difficulty was encreased by a difference among the several states as to their situation, extent, habits, and particular interests.

In all our deliberations on this subject we kept steadily in our view, that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true American, the consolidation of our Union,…” Bold mine. (quoted in  Conspiracy in Philadelphia P xxv, Gary North.)

This is a most astounding and heinous lie. It is an odious and fallacious affectation. The Articles of Confederation were founded on the principle that no one must surrender a single right in order to defend and preserve their endowed Rights. The United States of America under the Articles of Confederation, though hard pressed, successfully threw off the British yoke without surrendering a single individual Right. This principle of Union was eloquently addressed by Frederic Bastiat nearly a hundred years later:

“Force has been given to us to defend our own individual rights. Who will dare to say that force has been given to us to destroy the equal rights of our brothers? Since no individual acting separately can lawfully use force to destroy the rights of others, does it not logically follow that the same principle also applies to the common force that is nothing more than the organized combination of the individual forces?

    If this is true, then nothing can be more evident than this: The law is the organization of natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; Maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all.” (The Law pp2-3)

Bastiat didn’t invent this principle, it was expressly written into the Articles of Confederation! The author of the selected draft for the Articles was Benjamin Franklin. In Franklin’s deliberations over what form of government best suited to bind the States in common cause, among the material he studied was the various governments of local Native American tribes. The form of Union was modeled after their separation of powers and function. It was a decentralized form of cooperation among common interests. This decentralized form of organization was had among several Indian tribes, such as the Apache, among modern terrorist cells, and is emulated in numerous business ventures today such as eBay, Amazon, and Toyota. It is a non feudal, non hierarchical organization where all individuals have equal voice and choose freely who they will follow. It is powered by a common vision and ideology, which forms the motive force supporting the organization.

It is Benjamin Franklin who is the Father of the United States of America, the form of government meant only to secure everyone’s safety and liberty. George Washington is the stooge who perpetrated the fraud of The Federal Republic of America, the form of government that acts by the power of coercion and positive law. This myth is propaganda and lie number two, the first being George’s mendacity with the Continental Congress. In fact, George had to pander favors among his Masonic friends (>90% of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention) in order to gain access. The condition of his presiding at the assembly was that he keep his mouth shut and remain a figurehead! (American Aurora, pp467-469, 476) It was this Masonic influence among the delegates that produced the oath of secrecy and locked doors during the deliberations that is the very definition of conspiracy.

What citizens today do not understand for deliberate obfuscation of the details in public education is, all debates, referendums, ratifications, and elections subsequent to an act of fraud are also void. It does not matter who supported it, nor how many, nor why. A fraud is not made null by its acceptance. The Federal Convention’s deliberations remain an infringement upon the Rights of Man as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, to wit:

 “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,…” Italics mine

James Madison in a letter to the Virginia General Assembly of 1785 over the matter of State sponsored religions excoriated them for attempting to legislate beyond their authority:

“The preservation of a free government requires not merely, that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power may be invariably maintained; but more especially, that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great Barrier which defends the rights of the people. The Rulers who are guilty of such an encroachment, exceed the commission from which they derive their authority, and are Tyrants. The People who submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves, nor by an authority derived from them, and are slaves.”  Bold mine (Quoted in The Mind of the Founder P7)

But who was it that was Father of the Federal Constitution two years later, and the recorder of the proceedings? Did he not engage in the same encroachment as the Virginia Assembly did on religion? Was not Madison the very Tyrant he condemned? Did not he design (and the delegates sanction) the foundation for slavery under the Federal Republic of America?

Eighty two years later Lysander Spooner at the close of the Civil War reiterated this concept of tyrannical majority:

"The North has thus virtually said to the world: It was all very well to prate of consent, so long as the objects to be accomplished were to liberate ourselves from our connexion with England, and also to coax a scattered and jealous people into a great national union; but now that those purposes have been accomplished, and the power of the North has become consolidated, it is sufficient for us—as for all governments—simply to say: Our power is our right." Italics mine (No Treason P4)

The Continental Congress failed in their duty to reject Washington’s letter and the Federal Constitution, as did the States, who all in collusion with the pseudo-Federalists from 1787 to 1789, proceeded to ratify a change in the form of government that was hierarchical and feudalistic in its intent. The Anti-Federalists attempted to warn the citizenry against the mendacity proposed in newspaper publications, since compiled into The Federalist Papers, and the response in The Anti-Federalist Papers. But it was to no avail.

Hannah Arendt, who was one of the few women who successfully exited a WWII German concentration camp before the borders were closed, spent the rest of her life studying the rise of National Socialism and its effects upon the populace and leaders. She became well known for her publications in the Western world throughout the Cold War period. In her widely heralded book The Origin of Totalitarianism she wrote about the nature of conspiratorial societies:

“The chief value, however, of the secret or conspiratory societies' organizational structure and moral standards for purposes of mass organization does not even lie in the inherent guarantees of unconditional belonging and loyalty, and organizational manifestation of unquestioned hostility to the outside world, but in their unsurpassed capacity to establish and safeguard the fictitious world through consistent lying. The whole hierarchical structure of totalitarian movements, from naive fellow-travelers to party members, elite formations, the intimate circle around the Leader, and the Leader himself, could be described in terms of a curiously varying mixture of gullibility and cynicism with which each member, depending upon his rank and standing in the movement, is expected to react to the changing lying statements of the leaders and the central unchanging ideological fiction of the movement.” (The Origin of Totalitarianism P369)

Continuing her examination she describes the very National Socialist environment in which the post Revloutionary Federalists operated:

“Without the organizational division of the movement into elite formations, membership, and sympathizers, the lies of the Leader would not work. The graduation of cynicism expressed in a hierarchy of contempt is at least as necessary in the face of constant refutation as plain gullibility. The point is that the sympathizers in front organizations despise their fellow-citizens' complete lack of initiation, the party members despise the fellow-travelers' gullibility and lack of radicalism, the elite formations despise for similar reasons the party membership, and within the elite formations a similar hierarchy of contempt accompanies every new foundation and development. The result of this system is that the gullibility of sympathizers makes lies credible to the outside world, while at the same time the graduated cynicism of membership and elite formations eliminates the danger that the Leader will ever be forced by the weight of his own propaganda to make good his own statements and feigned respectability.” (The Origin of Totalitarianism P371)

Today we have an overwhelming abundance of Hannah’s descriptions in the District of Columbia, just in the last two Presidential administrations alone. The CFR and the Trilateral Commission are some of the obvious "elite formations" which exude this contempt of the People. The tragedy of it is this feudalism extends all the way back to the very beginning, under the direction of George Washington, and before him the Constitutional Convention. The root of its ideology is the antithesis of self-preservation—the fallacious argument that a group of people have the right to enforce their will upon an individual or minority, simply because they out-number them. Or, that a minority of sufficient size and power, have the right to enforce their will upon the majority. This fallacious doctrine, concocted by men lusting for influence, eminence, and power was expressed again by Madison:

“According to Republican Theory, Right and power being both vested in the majority, are held to be synonimous. According to fact and experience a minority may in an appeal to force, be an over-match for the majority. 1. if the minority happen to include all such as possess the skill and habits of military life, & such as possess the great pecuniary resources, one-third only may conquer the remaining two-thirds. 2. one-third of those who participate in the choice of the rulers, may be rendered a majority by the accession of those whose poverty excludes them from a right of suffrage, and who for obvious reasons will be more likely to join the standard of sedition than that of the established Government. 3. where slavery exists the republican Theory becomes still more fallacious.” Bold mine. (Quoted in The Mind of the Founder P59)

What does have bearing here is the concept of government altogether—the very idea that people everywhere must be regulated in their activities beyond the simple expedient of preserving their mutual safety of persons, property, and privilege. The control of persons, property, and expression by coercion is a tyranny, and is the express cause of the failure of all governments in the history of Man, prior to the founding of the United States of America. But Madison argued before the Assembly that Republican power and right are the same—that might makes right, that those possessing martial skill sufficient to subdue, or financial acumen to effect the same, have right of coercion; that those who have not financial acumen or military skill have no voice at all, that such theory was a Tyranny, and then reversed his position by creating a government that did just that. These men all gave lip service to the hazards of encroachment, despotism, and ultimate revolution should the People rise up in indignation, but sloppily created a document whereby it was possible for ambitious men to obtain their desires. Contrary to Jefferson’s assertion that the Constitution was a “chain” with which to bind such men down, it was a bloodied red carpet by which none but a vigilant and jealous citizenry could remove. There are so many loopholes and vaguely written constraints in it that collectivism has been driven through as a freight train.

During the reign of the Alien and Sedition Acts, Jefferson was appalled at the seeming about face of John Adams, as others like Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. Jefferson was socially and politically naïve to have sat through the convention from France, discussing the various issues with James and other delegates, and not have realized that these men never changed their position, but had concealed their intent for converting the Union to a Democratic Republic, and distending it through positive interpretations to their own ambition. Franklin, however, readily recognized what Adams was after, and forestalled his exposure to monarchical operations during their ambassadorship to France. Their ambitions were exposed in The Philadelphia Aurora, initially owned and operated by Franklin’s grandson, Benjamin Bache. Bache died in prison from neglect of malaria, at the hands of John Adams and his Sedition Act. Adams had despised Franklin for many years, and carried on a vendetta because of Franklin’s interposition, preventing Adams from obtaining his ambition to convert the Constitutional Republic into a Constitutional Monarchy. It was Bache, exposing the malfeasance of Washington and Adams, that ultimately drove both from the Presidency. Both men had always supported hereditary claim to the Presidency of the Federal Republic of America. The ultimate intent of these men was to return the American government to the British form, with they themselves as the new aristocracy.

What many citizens do not know about Washington’s term in office is he refused to remunerate the French for their War assistance, as per agreements made by ambassador Franklin. (American Aurora pp34,408) Since those French funds spent on military hardware were made by way of loans from the Rothchild’s banking system and backed up by the property of the aristocracy, this action bankrupted the French government. Public education tells us Louis the XVI lost his head to the French Revolution. But this is misleading. He was guillotined because helping the American’s achieve independence bankrupted the country. (American Aurora pp509, 516) The economy collapsed and the people of France, having idolized the new system of American government expounded by ambassador Franklin, rioted against the aristocracy, precipitating the bloodiest (40,000 executed) of European Revolutions to that time. The backlash of Washington’s default began with a fiction of war with the French, and the Jacobin movement that spread to America.

Thomas Paine, returned to America in 1802, having spent eleven months in jail at the behest of Governor Morris, minister to France, wrote open letters to the American people. Paine as Bache, also took them to task, albeit after the fact:

“…a faction, acting in disguise, was rising in America; they had lost sight of first principles. They were beginning to contemplate government as a profitable monopoly, and the people as hereditary property. It is, therefore, no wonder that the Rights of Man was attacked by that faction, and its author continually abused. But let them go on; give them rope enough and they will put an end to their own insignificance. There is too much common sense and independence in America to be long the dupe of any faction, foreign or domestic.

But, in the midst of the freedom we enjoy, the licentiousness of the papers called Federal (and I know not why they are called so, for they are in their principles anti-federal and despotic), is a dishonour to the character of the country, and an injury to its reputation and importance abroad. They represent the whole people of America as destitute of public principle and private manners.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P504)

Unfortunately for us, the common sense permeating Colonial America has since dissipated. Our reputation has been disintegrating since the Convention of 1787. In the wake of the disastrous administrations of Washington, Adams, and a lesser degree Madison, The Federal Republic of America lost all its allies in Europe. When James Monroe took office, he had the odious task of rebuilding those relations. His first effort to that end was to institute a policy of non-intervention, which has been slandered as the policy of isolationism by the Government Mandated Opiate consortium. These malcontents are the mechanics who operate the world's Matrix machine.

In 1805 Paine published an open letter to the American citizenry outlining the Federal Constitution’s errors. I present here only portions more relevant:

“The Constitution formed by the Convention of 1776, of which Benjamin Franklin (the greatest and most useful man America has yet produced), was president, had many good points in it which were overthrown by the Convention of 1790, under the pretence of making the Constitution conformable to that of the United States; as if the forms and periods of election for a territory extensive as that of the United States is could become a rule for a single state.

The principal defect in the Constitution of 1776 was that it was subject, in practice, to too much precipitancy; but the groundwork of that Constitution was good. The present Constitution appears to me to be clogged with inconsistencies of a hazardous tendency, as a supposed remedy against a precipitancy that might not happen. Investing any individual, by whatever name or official title he may be called, with a negative over the formation of the laws, is copied from the English Government, without ever perceiving the inconsistency and absurdity of it, when applied to the representative system, or understanding the origin of it in England.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P526)

“This negativing power in the hands of an individual ought to be constitutionally abolished. It is a dangerous power. There is no prescribing rules for the use of it. It is discretionary and arbitrary; and the will and temper of the person at any time possessing it, is its only rule.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P527)

“We are not a conquered people; we know no conqueror; and the negativing power used by kings in England is for the defence of the personal and family prerogatives of the successors of the conqueror against the Parliament and the people. What is all this to us? We know no prerogatives but what belong to the sovereignty of ourselves.

At the time this Constitution was formed, there was a great departure from the principles of the Revolution, among those who then assumed the lead, and the country was grossly imposed upon. This accounts for some inconsistencies that are to be found in the present Constitution, among which is the negativing power inconsistently copied from England.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P528)

“Patronage has a natural tendency to increase the public expense by the temptation it leads to (unless in the hands of a wise man like Franklin) to multiply offices within the gift or appointment of that patronage. John Adams, in his Administration, went upon the plan of increasing offices and officers. He expected by thus increasing his patronage, and making numerous appointments, that he should attach a numerous train of adherents to him who would support his measures and his future election. He copied this from the corrupt system of England; and he closed his midnight labours by appointing sixteen new unnecessary judges, at an expense to the public of $32,000 annually. John counted only on one side of the case.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P530)

“The complaint respecting the Senate is the length of its duration, being four years. The sage Franklin has said, 'Where annual election ends, tyranny begins'; … When a man ceases to be accountable to those who elected him, and with whose public affairs he is entrusted, he ceases to be their representative, and is put in a condition of being their despot. He becomes the representative of nobody but himself.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P531)

“The Senate is an imitation of what is called the House of Lords in England, and which Chesterfield, who was a member of it, and therefore knew it, calls 'the Hospital of Incurables'. The Senate in Pennsylvania is not quite a hospital of incurables, but it took almost four years to bring it to a state of  convalescence….William (the Conqueror), having made the conquest, dispossessed the owners of their lands, and divided those lands among the chiefs of the plundering army he brought with him, and from hence arose what is called the House of Lords.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P532)

“This is consistent with the original establishment of the House of Lords, for it was originally composed of robbers. This is aristocracy. This is one of the pillars of John Adams's 'stupendous fabric of human invention'. A privilege for house-breaking, highwayrobbing, horse-stealing and robbing of churches! John Adams knew but little of the origin and practice of the Government of England.”(The Thomas Paine Reader p533)

“The Constitution of 1776 was conformable to the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Rights, which the present Constitution is not; for it makes artificial distinctions among men in the right of suffrage, which the principles of equity know nothing of; neither is it consistent with sound policy.” (The Thomas Paine Reader P534)

Those who declaim the contemporary departure from Constitutional government are ignorant of the Revolutionary history, the motives and actions of the Founders who produced the “worthless scrap of paper” Hamilton so disparaged. They do not realize that what they admire and esteem for being lost is the Union of States, the very form of government the South sought to maintain by the Civil War (which also was a prediction of the Anti-Federalist patriots) under the banner of the Confederate flag. This Federal Republic they created is still laboring under the ignominy and dishonor begun at the close of the Revolutionary War when the despotic government formed at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 changed forever the face of Liberty.

I commend to the reader’s review selections from the Anti-Federalist papers and their response to the Constitution’s adoption:

“But in a government consisting of but a few members, elected for long periods, and far removed from the observation of the people, but few changes in the ordinary course of elections take place among the members. They become in some measure a fixed body, and often inattentive to the public good, callous, selfish, and the fountain of corruption. To prevent these evils, and to force a principle of pure animation into the federal government, which will be formed much in this last manner mentioned, and to produce attention, activity, and a diffusion of knowledge in the community, we ought to establish among others the principle of rotation. Even good men in office, in time, imperceptibly lose sight of the people, and  gradually fall into measures prejudicial to them.” #63

“To the authority of Montesquieu, I shall add that of Mr. De Lolme, whose disquisition on government is allowed to be deep, solid, and ingenious . . . . 'It is not only necessary,' [says he] 'to take from the legislature the executive power which would exempt them from the laws; but they should not have even a hope of being ever able to arrogate to themselves that power.' To remove this hope from their expectation, it would have been proper, not only to have previously laid down, in a declaration of rights, that these powers should be forever separate and incommunicable; but the frame of the proposed constitution should have had that separation religiously in view, through all its parts. It is manifest this was not the object of its framers; but, that on the contrary there is a studied mixture of them in the senate as necessary to erect it into that potent aristocracy which it must infallibly produce.

In pursuit of this daring object, than which no greater calamity can be brought upon the people, another egregious error in constitutional principles is committed. I mean that of dividing the executive powers between the senate and president.” #64


“I revere the characters of some of the gentlemen that composed the convention at Philadelphia, yet I think they were human, and subject to imposition and error, as well as the rest of mankind. You lost eight or ten years of your lives and labor by the last war, and you were left at last with your debts and encumbrances on you, and numbers of you were soon after the close of it, sued and harassed for them. Your persons have been put into a loathsome prison, and others of you have had your property sold for taxes, and sometimes for one tenth of its former and actual value and you now pay very grievous and heavy taxes, double and treble what you paid before the war; and should you adopt this new government, your taxes will be great, increased to support their.., servants and retainers, who will be multiplied upon you to keep you in obedience, and collect their duties, taxes, impositions, and excises. Some of you may say the rich men were virtuous in the last war; yes, my countrymen, they had reason then to be so! Our liberty then was in dispute with a mighty and powerful tyrant, and it was for their interest to promote and carry on the opposition, as long as they could stay at home and send the common people into the field to fight their battles. After the war began, they could not with decency recede, for the sword and enemy were at the very entrance of their gates. The case is greatly altered now; you conquered the enemy, and the rich men now think to subdue you by their wiles and arts, or make you, or persuade you, to do it yourselves. Their aim, I perceive, is now to destroy that liberty which you set up as a reward for the blood and treasure you expended in the pursuit of and establishment of it. They well know that open force will not succeed at this time, and have chosen a safer method, by offering you a plan of a new Federal Government, contrived with great art, and shaded with obscurity, and recommended to you to adopt; which if you do, their scheme is completed, the yoke is fixed on your necks, and you will be undone, perhaps for ever, and your boasted liberty is but a sound, Farewell! Be wise, be watchful, guard yourselves against the dangers that are concealed in this plan of a new Federal Government.”#40

 The face of American politics that appears in the newspapers, journals, and archives of the post revolutionary period is identical to Washington politics of our time. It has never changed. The only change to this scene of blood, terror, and ruin will happen when the citizens of this country come together in common cause, as our forefathers did in 1775, and abolish the system of government in Washington and the models of constitutions, to voluntarily support the Union they devoted themselves to establish with the Revolution. Spooner in his disquisition was correct:

 “…all governments though the best on earth in other respects—are nevertheless tyrannies to that portion of the people—whether few or many—who are compelled to support them against their will.” (No Treason P17)

“…there is not the slightest probability that there is a single man in the country, who both understands what the Constitution really is, and sincerely supports it for what it really is. The ostensible supporters of the Constitution, like the ostensible supporters of most other governments, are made up of three classes, viz.:

1. Knaves, a numerous and active class, who see in the government an instrument which they can use for their own aggrandizement or wealth.

2. Dupes—a large class, no doubt—each of whom, because he is allowed one voice out of millions in deciding what he may do with his own person and his own property, and because he is permitted to have the same voice in robbing, enslaving, and murdering others, that others have in robbing, enslaving, and murdering himself, is stupid enough to imagine that he is a 'free man,' a 'sovereign'; that this is 'a free government'; 'a government of equal rights,' 'the best government on earth,' and such like absurdities.

3. A class who have some appreciation of the evils of government, but either do not see how to get rid of them, or do not choose to so far sacrifice their private interests as to give themselves seriously and earnestly to the work of making a change.” (No Treason P26)

It will never happen by working within the system now entrenched.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."—Buckminster Fuller

If by now you do not perceive the magnitude of our enmeshment in this Matrix called the Federal Republic of America, there is little hope past despotic slavery.

* “Every Body cries, a Union is absolutely necessary, but when they come to the Manner and Form of the Union, their weak Noddles are perfectly distracted.” Letter to Peter Collinson (29 December 1754)

The End of National Independence

“The congress having thus disentangled themselves from all popular checks and choices, and being supported by a well disciplined army and active militia, will certainly command dread and respect abroad, obedience and submission at home. They will then look down with awful dignity and tremendous majesty from the pinnacle of glory to which fortune has raised them upon the insignificant creatures, their subjects, whom they have reduced to that state of vassalage and servile submission, for which they were primarily destined by nature. America will then be great amongst the nations(3) and princess amongst the provinces. Her fleets will cover the deserts of the ocean and convert it into a popular city; and her invincible armies overturn the thrones of princes. The glory of Britain (4) shall fall like lightning before her puissant arm; when she ariseth to shake the nations, and take vengeance on all who dare oppose her. O! thou most venerable and august congress! with what astonishing ideas my mind is ravished! when I contemplate thy rising grandeur, and anticipate thy future glory! Happy thy servants! happy thy vassals! and happy thy slaves, which fit under the shade of thy omnipotent authority, and behold the glory of thy majesty! for such a state who would not part with ideal blessings of liberty? who would not cheerfully resign the nominal advantages of freedom? the dazzling splendor of Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian and Roman greatness will then be totally eclipsed by the radiant blaze of this glorious western luminary! These beautiful expressions, aristocracy, and oligarchy, upon which the popular odium hath fixed derision and contempt, will then resume their natural emphasis; their genuine signification will be perfectly understood, and no more perverted or abused.” ( ARISTOCROTIS Anti-Federalist #51)

Our nation is finished. We are waiting in the lull for the coup-de-grâce of national Hara-Kiri. The lull is the interim between presidential elections. No matter which candidate takes the White House in 2017, the inevitable demise is assured. History has spoken the edict, but there have been few, if any, who have heard the inquest and judgment.

Gore Vidal, who continuously poked Americans in the eye, especially the Elitists, once stated that the brightest men ever to appear in America were the men who founded the Federal government, and they have not been seen since. I beg to differ. These men of designing mien established a tradition that has rooted and flowered like Ragweed. They exist in every nook and cranny of the monolithic edifice, for from the moment the ink of the Federal Constitution was still drying (that marvel of a piece of double talk which mirrored oligarchic aristocracy), those crooks and nannies were busy going about mimicking the very aristocracy of their ideological sires. Gore asserted way back during the Vietnam era that we had become a National Security State, and indeed it is now bearing down on the largest nations on the planet that have evaded its hegemony. This summer, the nation in a state of heroin induced stupor, beheld the Chinese and American naval fleets tagging each other in the Pacific.  The Security State has followed the path to empire the likes of which the British envy, and they are determined to regain the helm and their lost status at any cost.

The greatest loophole built into that faux chastity belt document was the construction of the Senate. To them was given the key to the belt, the bag of gold, the military, the rights of perpetuity, the duty of impeachments, and a politician’s admonition to virtue. It was to them we were told, after their illegal convention, that we should rely on a just and proper government, one which would balance the rights of the majority against those of the minority, while preserving the sanctity of the individual against autocratic abuse. A formidable task indeed for a fledgling nation attempting to transcend the Republics of bygone eras. As we shall see, they were stumbling right out of the starting gate.

The American Senate is charged first with the duty of ensuring that the Constitution (with its Amendments, commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights) is adhered to in all legislative and executive matters. This is its primary purpose and function. (Federalist Papers 62 & 63) The Representatives were intended to restore the Constitutional governance to its primal state should the Senate corrupt it. Contrary to Madison’s beliefs and polemics, this has proved to be a scarecrow. The fatal flaw, well known and publicized among the Revolutionary States, was that the Senate was endowed with both the legislative and executive powers. Without the legislative, they could not restrain the popular rabble influencing the people’s Representatives. Without the executive, they could not over rule the President, nor declare the principles of Jurisprudence to the Judiciary. Conversely, they could bequeath to the President legislative and extend executive powers which are not expressly designated in the Constitution, and undermine the immunity of the Judiciary from partisan or ideological influence. Not but least, they could extend to themselves by fiat, the right to pseudo-hereditary election and emoluments. The very worst fatality Madison never covered was the patronage of “designing men.” Why would they cut their own throats on this momentous occasion? Everyone else was “designing”, only they were not! But with the very first administration of the reconstituted office of president (John Hanson was the first president of the United States in 1781 with the adoption of the Articles of Confederation), Washington changed all that. He took in his Free Mason buddy Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, a shill of the British Rothschild bank. (Hamilton’s Curse)

Politics may change its structure, but the consummation of malfeasance seldom does. In ancient Rome, the Senate soon became infested with oligarchic families (the Greeks founded their democracy by way of oligarchic families), a by-product of class struggle. Here again, astute Colonials recognized the deliberate exacerbation of class-struggle by the Constitution. (Anti-Federalist #37) The byproduct is the production of political parties—the debacle millionaire George Washington impotently and ignorantly warned against in his Farewell Address.  In American politics, our senators are often drawn from the more affluent and educated. But the result is always the same—corruption throughout and the fated dissolution of the government and the social institutions supporting it. If they aren’t of the affluent aristocratic class at appointment, they soon are once taking office. The vested interests of business see to that (~12,000 lobbyists in 2014). What Americans have failed to notice in their history lessons is that the national and state governments were composed by and for those who owned businesses and property. Accordingly, they were the only ones privileged to vote. Few, if any Congressmen have escaped the vice of financial favors. “Our form of democracy is bribery on the highest scale” wrote Gore Vidal, and it has been the modus operandi since the colonial charters. The Colonial Brutus wrote disparagingly:

“Men long in office are very apt to feel themselves independent; to form and pursue interests separate from those who appointed them. And this is more likely to be the case with the senate, as they will for the most part of the time be absent from the state they represent, and associate with such company as will possess very little of the feelings of the middling class of people. .… It is probable that senators once chosen for a state will, as the system now stands, continue in office for life. The office will be honorable if not lucrative. The persons who occupy it will probably wish to continue in it, and therefore use all their influence and that of their friends to continue in office. Their friends will be numerous and powerful, for they will have it in their power to confer great favors, besides it will before long be considered as disgraceful not to be reelected. It will therefore be considered as a matter of delicacy to the character of the senator not to return him again. Everybody acquainted with public affairs knows how difficult it is to remove from office a person who is long been in it. It is seldom done except in cases of gross misconduct.  (Anti-Federalist #62)

Malfeasance
By dereliction of duty to the laws and regulations of the Constitution, falsely touting the protection of the Individual, the Senate opens the gates to corruption of all branches of the Federal government;

• the consolidation of legislative, judicial, and executive powers; 
• the subjection of the Federal system to insolvency and monetary bondage in perpetuity; 
• the pandering and surreptitious tribute of moneyed interests; 
• the political influence of potentates; 
• the migration from Republicanism to Federalism to Monarchy or Dictatorship; 
• the provocation of civil insurrection; 
• the perpetuation and enlargement of standing armies and war (once limited to 6 years); 
• bias and influence of the supreme Judiciary; 
• the suspension of Habeas Corpus; 
• suspension of trial by jury and right to confront accusers; 
• incarceration without due process; 
• the confiscation of property and violation of persons; 
• military tribunals imposed on civilians; 
• all manner of Federal imposition and harassment under the guise of public health or welfare; 
• domestic and foreign intervention provoking minorities to insurrection by Federal Intelligence services; 
• the instigation of clandestine pacts, agreements, or treaties by the executive; 
• the debauching and ideological subversion of public education; 
• the regulation of social contracts of convention; 
• the codification and regulation of speech; 
• Presidential intelligence oversight negligence, ad nauseum infinitum. 

By degrees they have granted dictatorial powers to the President of this pseudo-Republic, and committed the same fatality which the German congress did with Adolf—they gave him sufficient power to have themselves dissolved—permanently. Dissidents forfeited their lives.

Prescient citizens of our then burgeoning Confederacy foresaw the weaknesses of the proffered Constitution with its inevitable production of a tyrant:

“…perhaps some weak heads may think that the constitution itself will be a check upon the new congress. But this I deny, for the convention has so happily worded themselves, that every part of this constitution either bears double meaning, or no meaning at all; and if any concessions are made to the people in one place, it is effectually cancelled in another—so that in fact this constitution is much better and gives more scope to the rulers than they durst safely take if there was no constitution at all. For then the people might contend that the power was inherent in them, and that they had made some implied reserves in the original grant. But now they cannot, for every thing is expressly given away to government in this plan. Perhaps some people may think that power which the house of representatives possesses, of impeaching the officers of government, will be a restraint upon them. But this entirely vanishes, when it is considered that the Senate hath the principal say in appointing these officers, and that they are the sole judges of all impeachments. Now it would be absurd to suppose that they would remove their own servants for performing their secret orders  ....  For the interest of rulers and the ruled will then be two distinct things.” ( ARISTOCROTIS Anti-Federalist #51)

Though there were weak-headed, profligate, and unscrupulous citizens seduced by its tenets, strong and sane minded citizens warned of the folly of an unrestrained Senate (as well as the Representatives) and its consequences. Unfortunately, the voice of the former is always more dominant in society than the latter. The Founding Fathers blatantly discussed this characteristic of former political constructions in the press, private communications and assemblies. But the common citizen paid as little attention then as they do today. We are so busy serving the exigencies of penury, we pay little attention to who is controlling its value and the production of market rules. We know it because shortly after Franklin shot off his mouth to his British colleagues that their prosperity and lack of poor was due to their issuance of their own paper specie, the British parliament passed legislation to revoke colonial specie and force them to trade in British coin. Within months the colonies went from a debt-free society to wide-spread losses and subsequent poverty. Franklin’s visit to England for financing included a visit with the London financiers. Finding no success there he journeyed to France, where he brokered a deal by way of his Masonry connections with Jacob Rothschild’s bank. The ultimate aim of the bankers then, as it was with the precipitation of the Civil War, and every war since, was the financial overthrow and subjection of the United States. They have always played both sides in the conflicts they generate for this purpose. (The Federal Reserve Cartel)

Follow the Money

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws.”(Mayer Anselm Rothschild) With the Senate so constituted to have sole political control of both debits and credits of the national purse, they have no care for how the laws protect the rights of the Individual. Laws will follow where the money flows, and by Constitutional design, the money flowed then at is does today, from the American aristocratic businessman to the Senator. The notion that a Bill of Rights would confine Congress, and the Senate in particular, to preservation and protection of individual Liberty among the States was a bone thrown to the Thomas Jefferson crowd. He erroneously believed that the Constitution, with its appended Rights bill, would bind the burgeoning class of business aristocrats to the object of freedom from despotism and financial ruin. ("In questions of power...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." —Thomas Jefferson: Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.) But the Federal Constitution was never written to preserve Liberty for all. It was written to facilitate obtaining control for themselves their own money system apart from king George:

“We began planning the Revolutionary War in order to issue our own money again…. The inability of the Colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war.” (Benjamin Franklin)

And yet, Franklin went to none other to purchase weapons through Baron von Steuben who was connected with the Rothschilds. (The ambassadorial feud and nervous break down that non-Mason John Adams had with Franklin was centered in Franklin’s Masonic network. He later wrote the Letters on the Masonic Institution exposing the Free Mason influence.)

There were a number of colonists who were savvy to the monetary motivation behind the convention and opposed it:

“Our governments have been new and unsettled; and several legislatures, by making tender, suspension, and paper money laws, have given just cause of uneasiness to creditors. By these and other causes, several orders of men in the community have been prepared, by degrees, for a change of government. And this very abuse of power in the legislatures, which in some cases has been charged upon the democratic part of the community, has furnished aristocratical men with those very weapons, and those very means, with which, in great measure, they are rapidly effecting their favorite object. And should an oppressive government be the consequence of the proposed change, posterity may reproach not only a few overbearing unprincipled men, but those parties in the states which have misused their powers.

The conduct of several legislatures, touching paper money, and tender laws, has prepared many honest men for changes in government, which otherwise they would not have thought of—when by the evils, on the one hand, and by the secret instigations of artful men, on the other, the minds of men were become sufficiently uneasy, a bold step was taken, which is usually followed by a revolution, or a civil war. A general convention for mere commercial purposes was moved for—the authors of this measure saw that the people's attention was turned solely to the amendment of the federal system; and that, had the idea of a total change been started, probably no state would have appointed members to the convention. The idea of destroying ultimately, the state government, and forming one consolidated system, could not have been admitted—a convention, therefore, merely for vesting in congress power to regulate trade was proposed.” (Anti-federalist # 37)

As soon as the British military was no immediate threat, the Constitutional convention was planned by a few delegates at Annapolis to cement their revolutionary enterprise. It is often thought that what Franklin meant when he admonished the convention delegates “if we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately” was not about regaining their native rights from the British, but about them hanging for insolvency. They had pledged their fortunes to pull off the Revolution, and some means had to be instituted for them to recoup their loses. Without the power to create their own money again they were vulnerable to re-subjugation). Voilá! The new Federal government is born with the power to tax, tariff, and regulate commerce for their own ends, irrespective of the powers of any and all States. (Anti-Federalist #40) Unlike the American pseudo-aristocrats who pledged their fortunes in the Declaration of Independence, the French who came to their rescue and kicked the British asses for sport, spent their fortunes, on Franklin’s promise we Americans would repay their expended wealth on their behalf. This was not done, for just as we reneg on virtually every international agreement we autograph, Washington refused to repay their debt to them, setting the stage for bankruptcy of the French aristocracy and their ensuing bloody revolution. A revolution in which the Rothschilds were intimately participating. A bloody demise that later happened in France’s aristocracy was what Franklin was warning the delegates about. Today, from decades of profligate spending by Congress, unrestrained by the Senate, the citizenry is on the verge of financial destitution. When it happens, we know who’s blood will be sought—demonstrations to that effect have already manifested to that end. Our political leaders have been militarizing the police forces, augmenting the weapons manufacturing, against that calamity.

“It must be recollected, that when this plan was first announced to the public, its supporters cried it up as the most perfect production of human wisdom. It was represented either as having no defects, or if it had, they were so trifling and inconsiderable, that they served only, as the shades in a fine picture, to set off the piece to the greater advantage. One gentleman in Philadelphia went so far in the ardor of his enthusiasm in its favor, as to pronounce, that the men who formed it were as really under the guidance of Divine Revelation, as was Moses, the Jewish lawgiver. Their language is now changed; the question has been discussed; the objections to the plan ably stated, and they are admitted to be unanswerable.” (Anti-Federalist Papers #85)

Foundations and Empires

In a Tom Woods interview early this year, a declaration by a Libertarian British subject, Sean Gabb, claimed that the British were the means of elevating the economy, culture, and welfare of those nations they “conquered”, thereby enlarging their Empire. Their military forays into Africa and India supposedly elevated those native peoples to more modern standards of living. The logic is faulty, the philanthropy false, the history propaganda, and the abstraction self-flattering; for no people are enticed to embrace the English system (or any other) of self-government except through dominance, racial oppression, or subjugation. And they are surely not persuaded through socio-economic collapse. It is an oxymoron, a paradox, an expression of cognitive dissonance, born of an arrogant and depraved, humiliated mind. (When the British invaded, India was producing one fourth of the world’s total products, as were the Chinese. When they left, in excess of 30 million Indians had died from plagues and famine induced by British mismanagement, with native life expectancy having dropped by 20%. The Kikuyu in Africa experienced similar depredations.)

Self-government derives from the self, as does culture, prosperity, and felicity. These attributes of a happy life are not bequeathed by the edicts of an administrator or a regime. The ultimate end of Empires throughout history has been the implosion from within by the very corruption that spawned it. The result has been the subsumption of the old regime by another virulent, burgeoning empire. Rome took the Anglo-Saxons, then the Normans, the Gauls. The Visigoths took Rome, the Spanish took central and South America, the Brits took India and Africa, the Americans deposed and aligned the Brits, and have been destabilizing, invading, and subsuming every vulnerable nation on the planet since the Creature from Jekyl Island was born. Soon America will be subsumed by the Sino-Socialist empire. They will want their money back we borrowed from them to finance our militaristic depredations. When they are unable to derive compensation, and we are unable to intimidate them any further, war is the inevitable result.

Chalmers Johnson observed in his book, Nemesis, that the submitted budget by President Bush soon after the invasion of Iraq, equaled the nation’s GDP that year. This is equivalent to the products produced by every working citizen going directly to the military and Congress. Nobody made a profit for themselves that year. That was over a decade ago. The cost of a single cruise missile then was $750,000, which is consistent with the annual budget for a city of 10,000 inhabitants. Thousands of those exorbitant bombs have been exploded upon a predominantly innocent populace. The cost to us by comparison is the total cessation of a small city’s operating expenses; fire, police, public works, etc. for thousands of cities across America. For a short period in the mid 80s I was employed in the telemetry testing of the cruise missile. The drone was a mere fourteen feet long, and could have been built for less than $3,000 in mass quantities by the commercial sector. The waste and stupidity of the entire operation caused me to give up the job and return to commercial business, and I’ve refused to be employed by the nonsensical military machine since.

Wars are not fought over scarce resources.  They're fought to consolidate power.  One or more nations/States/political authorities seek to impose their will upon another, first politically, then economically, then militarily.  This has ever been the case back into mythological history. (Anatomy of Doom, Encounter with the Future)  The consolidation of power has never brought peace, but extended warfare and the ultimate destruction of nations, empires, and civilization. Consolidation of power is fueled by consolidation of money control.  Consolidation of power is a cancer of the human species, born of an individual’s refusal to tend to their own responsibilities and destiny and leave that of their neighbor’s to themselves. This fact is at the heart of every empire to ever exist on this planet. We provoked Germany and Japan into declaring war because of our market-driven sanctions. We are again provoking nations world-wide, and err long will find ourselves paying the ultimate price. Our military medical system is already overwhelmed by the volume of military veterans. Many of them come home with no place to go after discharge, but to beg on the streets, and either ignored or disparaged and scorned by an ignorant, uncaring public.

“Democratic” Imperialism is a disease of the Anglo-Saxon. It is the legacy of ancient Rome, as it is the form of government bequeathed to the Anglos when the Romans retreated from England in its final Empire death-throws. Its legacy has been passed down to empires since before the Flood. It is cousin to the Aryan racial sentiments promoted by National Socialism (Hitler admired the British for their Darwinian subjugation of the Indians). Their descendants have brought to the world not only the craftiness of political intrigue, subterfuge, and the foundation of collectivism (Fabian society and ilk), but the intergenerational burden of perpetual debt, under the guise of the Red shield monetary debt system.

It was commonly known among the English colonial inhabitants of the Revolutionary period that “…no nation pays less regard to the faith of treaties than the British.” (Newport Man, Anti-Federalist Papers #20) Belligerence and Betrayal are the outstanding features of Anglo-Saxon politics. Americans have inherited, perpetuated, and sharpened these two instruments of destruction to a fine degree since king George III. No sooner have the Washington cadre boxed in the economic and political affairs of a foreign nation, they promptly violate the treaty terms of their newly acquired vassal. They impose their way of life with racial insolence and therewith dismantle the cultural and economic stability of whatever nation they intervene in. Presently Obama is forging an IT treaty with China which the government has no intention on abiding. We are committing greater internet espionage on China than they. Numerous IT businesses are opposed to this treaty and are being ignored by the administration.

Constitutionalists, in particular the Libertarians, complain a lot about how that document has been misinterpreted or corrupted. What they don’t understand (as I did not until I learned my history lessons) is that document was written expressly to facilitate how it is being “violated.” It was conceived by elitist businessmen who had their hands in politics precisely for the purpose of allowing them to control the course of government, markets, and the value of money. The Federalist government was intended to consolidate all civil power in a single body. The construction of opposing, self-interested powers, with a defrocked president, as well as the Bill of Rights, was a bone these men threw to the anti-Federalists in order to get the basic transformation of the Confederation instituted. It was consummated upon a usurpation of power from the get-go, composed in secret, by and for business interests who wanted to gain control of their own money, away from the hands of the British monarch and banks. The easiest way to do that was to implement the same form of government as their ideological progenitors, with businessmen forming the new aristocratic class. The only route to preventing the wide-scale corruption it has spawned is an amended form of the early Confederate government on a small scale. The anti-Federalists knew this and tried to inform the public, citing the Swiss Republics. But the public then, as they are today, were grossly uninformed and don’t care. People generally want to go about their own business and not concern themselves with functions of government (except those who, like the Federalists, cannot refrain from imposing on their neighbors, even if it so be by the threat of bodily harm or imprisonment).

But Republics cannot and have never operated in this manner. Solon understood this and attempted to instruct Greece’s quarreling patricians in the arts of impartiality. Students of Greek history know how they lost their Republic and today are bankrupt. Students today knowledgeable in world financial and economic affairs are familiar with the collapse of Third World countries through the operations of American business interests and the IMF. This is how the game is played. We’ve been set up, and the next great fall will be us. Cecil Rhodes’ (South African politician and mining magnate) last will and testament aspired, “to establish a trust, to and for the establishment and promotion and development of a secret society, the true aim and object whereof shall be the extension of British rule throughout the world…and the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire.” ( Dope Inc: The Book that Drove Kissinger Crazy. The Editors of Executive Intelligence Review. Washington, DC. 1992.)

The concept of separation of powers has failed. The Senate of the United States of America has failed to carry out its mission. With no one but the populace to police their virtue, they have been bribed, blackmailed, suborned, and duped into destroying the very fabric of the Constitution, the hard-won Bill of Rights, and the institution of financial slavery of the citizenry. Wrote Gore Vidal:

“Our form of democracy is bribery on the highest scale.” (The United States of Amnesia) Come January 2017 we will see the notes of our profligacy come due.
