The Two Trillion Dollars – The Real CO$T
by Dr. M. Sidney Wallace
President George
W. Bush is pushing with all his energy to modernize the current seventy
year-old Social Security System. He correctly thinks the old system
is in bad need of an overhaul and he intends to tackle the problem head
on.
The Social Democrat
Party has spent almost 100 years in establishing the communal philosophy
into the American society. They want to see only one change in the current
socialistic system and that change is more tax revenue flowing into
their control.
Lets look at some
basics.
• A portion
of each FICA tax revenue dollar is used to pay current Social Security
expenditures. This portion of current revenues is growing each year
as Americans live longer.
• If nothing
is changed, current revenue will be insufficient to meet the required
payout within 10 to 20 years.
• If nothing
is done, one of two options will come to pass. The country will have
to increase taxes or cut benefit payments.
When current Social
Security tax revenue is collected, the United States Treasury invests
the surplus cash in United States Bonds. The Congress uses the proceeds
of these bond sales to pay for their projects.
Those in opposition
to the President are actively advocating increasing taxes to maintain
the 70-year-old Socialistic-Communistic system. These "Socialists"
firmly believe that all dollars in the economy are the property of the
Federal Government and "they" can best decide how these dollars
should be spent from a communal pot for the good of all.
The President wants
to make a very small but fundamental change to the way that Social Security
revenue is accounted for. He is proposing that the Social Security Administration
expand their accounting to cover each individual with a designated account
for a small portion of their contribution. These funds would be identified
as belonging to the taxpayer, and not commingled with the rest of the
communal funds within the government system.
So where does the
two trillion dollar cost come in?
The socialists in
the Congress that enjoy spending other people's money fear that if the
President is successful in getting even a small portion of the Social
Security System’s assets segregated into individual accounts,
these funds could not be spent on their pet pork barrel projects like
the “Big Dig” in Boston. The two trillion dollar cost would
not be on the individuals of the nation but on the wasted governmental
spending of the Congress.
If Congress wants
to spend more of your money, then they should make their case and ask
for a tax increase. However, as we all know, that isn't going to happen
as long as the sun comes up in the East.

That's Not Constitutional!
by Thomas David Klusty
The Constitution
is not the proper forum to permit/deny any type of marriage or any other
activity. The Constitution is a set of rules for the government to follow.
It protects our rights. It does not grant them.
It gives powers
and authorities to the government that are to be strictly adhered
to; it does not restrict the people unless specifically spelled out. The
only time the Constitution can be amended is to either restrict the
government further or to spell out rights that are protected (although
that is the purpose of the 9th and 10th amendments).
The government has
no authority (their authority coming from the supreme law of the land,
the Constitution) to have a constitutional convention for such trivial
and frivolous alterations to the Constitution.
The government needs
our permission to do anything, within the confines of the Constitution,
not the other way around. I, for one, do not need my servants' permission
to exercise a right. Only if I abuse that right can the government intervene
on behalf of the whole people.
There are only two
tenets of law that are mandatory: offend nobody, and honor all contracts.
The other millions of "laws" on the books are needless and
only serve to indirectly tax the people by way of fines or other monetary
forfeiture. For example, whom do I offend by not wearing a seatbelt?
Nobody at all. Yet a fine will be levied against me for the so-called
"offense" (although if the fine is more than twenty dollars,
I am guaranteed a trial by jury according to the 7th Amendment. And
believe me, I will get a jury for something so ridiculous). Therefore
the seatbelt "law" is unjust and constitutionally invalid.
I do not need the government to "protect" me for my own good.
Everybody needs
to contact their servants (representatives and senators) and remind
them that trying to play around with the Constitution as a knee-jerk
reaction is not only a bad idea, but that they have no authority to
do so. If they think they do, ask them to show you that authority and
where they derive such authority, within the confines of the Constitution.
Thomas David
Klusty is a sovereign natural person who believes that "willful
refusal to acknowledge fact is utter folly."

Our Fears and Denials Will Enslave Us
by Sergei Borglum Hoff
Having beheld the
people's fears of righteous confrontation and sacrifice, their denials
of truth and accountability, and the widespread abandonment of liberty,
it is evident to this writer that the corruptibility of America has
become a demoralizing reality for our children.
These vital questions
must be addressed: Do we desire to be cradled, and then carried throughout
life to our graves by this partisan propelled bureaucratic monstrosity?
With two centuries behind us as individuals of sovereign dignity, are
we now so terrified, bewildered, and impotent that our main purpose
is to seek asylum from the potential hazards of freedom? Have we no
faith in our natural strengths and abilities? Do we not owe the same
constitutionally guaranteed freedoms to our children and theirs? Are
we no longer able to sense the invigorating American blood of liberty
rushing through our veins?
A few veteran patriots
have begun to ask; are we now an emasculated nation of cowards and unworthy
of retaining our liberties?
A number of readers
will ask—with a seemingly justified posture of indignation—by
what right does this meddlesome person reproach fellow Americans and renounce
a government that was established by the will of the people? Despite the
inevitable calls for censure, I now accept that it is my duty—a
responsibility of every loyal American—to contribute towards the
transformations of fear and denial into proficient patriotic activism.
On several occasions I have condemned the actions of politicians and other
government officials, but until last year, have never publicly rebuked
the irrational intent or the irresponsible detachment of the people. In
view of the unnecessary dangers that we must all now face as a result
of our childish behavior, I was remiss in my responsibility to this troubled
nation.
My conscience compels
me to venture out and publish this challenge along with a truthful and
sobering State of the Union address. I have never aspired to become
a White House speechwriter, politician, or mainstream political columnist.
Hence, the misinformed citizenry has the opportunity to learn something
of value, which would otherwise not be available through some bureaucratically
programmed toady. I can promise the minority of Americans who prefer
to function in a world of reality that my priorities, observations,
countermeasures, and predictions, are not in any manner similar to those
embraced by President George W. Bush, other lesser statesmen, or the
government-dominated Socialist media.
For the attainment
of this goal, every step will be taken to avoid the disorienting and
enfeebling amenities of political correctness. Be grateful for this
first and last tidbit of comforting news. Those Americans of brittle
disposition might console themselves by awaiting a ride on the next
emotionally indulgent transport; this one is scheduled nonstop over
rocky roads.
As a result of
our newfound government and media manipulated purpose for living, with
most everyone busily jostling to appear a wee bit more patriotic than
their neighbor, it is doubtful that this writing will stir national
support, or win many friendships. Even without government and media
praise for my patriotic worth, I remain confident that genuinely concerned
readers will be influenced. I can only chance that such influence does
not prompt the acquisition of tar and feathers. When it comes down to
the stability of our Republic, family welfare, and the defense of my
liberties, I am not the meek or apologetic little lad with a plan of
retreat. Here I stand!
Big brothers often
display loyalty and a benevolent nature, provide sound leadership, and
offer wisdom when most needed. And George Orwell's personification of
governmental powers as "Big Brother" appears to lack the intensity
of our perverse sibling. Indeed, our ethically challenged bureaucratic
boy has further degenerated into a treacherous Bully-Brother. It is
important that we all understand the seriousness of our problem. Regardless
of the labels used, the fact remains that we—a nation of sovereign
individuals—are in Big Trouble.
We wisely rebuff
conspiracy theories of a delusional nature. Yet our frequent denials
of reliable observable evidence are as detrimental as paranoia. As imperiled
citizens of a troubled nation, our fears and denials will lead us into
enslavement.
Government, which
was in fact established by the will of the people, is wantonly disregarding
the liberties of its masters, making it imperative that we all unite,
speak out loudly, and demand constitutional remedies. Under the misdirection
of rebellious politicians, this wayward government has the audacity
to challenge the Constitution and our authority.
This government
has perpetrated far more damaging assaults on human rights and national
dignity than Middle Eastern terrorists could ever hope to achieve. Truthfully,
this is a treacherous juncture for us all. We are now witnessing the
deaths of courage, human rights, and dignity within our nation. Sovereign
citizens are under attack by terrorists, the United Nations, Socialists,
gun-ban-zealots, federal police invasion forces, and a multitude of
faithless public servants. Have we a rational plan of defense for our
families? No! Instead, we hysterically scurry about in a mob, witlessly
waving Old Glory with one hand and tossing confetti from the other,
while cheering the lynching of Lady Liberty along with our children's
unalienable rights. All of which genuine American patriots by the hundreds
of thousands sacrificed their lives in order to preserve.
Yes! I am outraged
over the cowardly betrayals by our public servants but equally disgusted
with the escapist Mardi Gras revelry of my fellow Americans. Through
fear, denial, and escapism, if we permit this mighty land of the free
to wither into a dysfunctional home of the oppressed, our brave and
noble fathers will have fought and died in vain.
None of the powers
of the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, United States Constitution,
or the Bill of Rights include the authority to either confer or negate
human rights. Fundamental rights are inherent throughout humanity and
endowed by an omnipotent force, far superior in creativity and wisdom
than mankind. Concerning the treatment of lawful individuals, a legally
defensible authority to encroach upon the unalienable rights to life,
liberty, and the common pursuit of happiness, does not exist in the
United States. Whether or not foreign governments dishonor and violate
the unalienable rights of their citizens is a subject for discussion
elsewhere. We have enough on our own platter to digest. The intent of
the Bill of Rights is to protect human rights from the abuses of our
government, including the courts.
The constitutionally
decreed separation of powers, equally divided between three branches
of government, for the purposes of enforcing our founding intent and
uniform justice is nonexistent. The separation of these distinct and
well-defined powers remains as mere symbolism of the past, serving only
to deceptively reassure the unwitting masses.
Today, we seldom
hear of a Judicial branch ruling that is in opposition to the Executive
or Legislative branches, in accordance with the Constitution, and in
favor of the people. As a result of the three branches of government
refusing obedience to constitutional law, our system of checks and balances—originating
from the genius of the Founding Fathers—has been abolished.
Through the finalizing
machinations of George Bush, accelerated by the events of September
11th, the Executive branch is now the dominant force within government.
Consequently, the people are left without adequate protections from
abusive federal officials. Additionally: The Executive, Legislative,
and Judicial branches stand guard for one another against the people's
outcries for justice. For the most part, this conspiratorial usurpation
of our authority over government has been a silent and gradual process
yet ruthless and nearly complete.
The Constitution
(Supreme Law of the Land) is the founding and preserving law of the
Unites States; it supports the people and restricts government. If government
refuses to obey the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, its legitimacy
ceases. And the people are not obligated to be governed by an illegitimate
authority. Today—without hesitation—our government officials
subvert constitutional law. It is politically expedient for them to
do so.
As a minority of
informed and resolute individualists, it remains our patriotic duty
to prevent the destruction of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by
both the unenlightened masses and bureaucratic cowards. This is not
a call for the overthrow of government. In truth, the Socialists and
rebellious politicians have already done so. That is the problem. Our
crucial task is to restore constitutional government to the original
state intended by our Founding Fathers. Judiciously authored law is
necessary for the preservation of any nation. Our Constitution, united
with the Bill of Rights is such a law.
The President is
the elected chief executive and law enforcement official of this nation.
It is his duty to ensure that all constitutionally supported federal
laws are justly enforced. While his responsibilities are momentous and
may appear majestic, he is not a king, emperor, or some other monarch.
His powers are limited by the Constitution and granted only with the
authority of the people. He does not enjoy a divine right to rule. The
President is compelled to obey the same laws as we. And he is answerable
to the people. George Bush is an American public servant. One of his
primary duties in office is to defend the United States Constitution
and Bill of Rights. Lesser commitments are unacceptable to all thinking
Americans.
During the President's
inauguration—not unlike millions of other concerned citizens—I
enjoyed a brief moment of anticipation. Although my optimism lacked
a stable foundation, I envisioned that the integrity of our Constitutional
Republic would eventually be restored. Because it was my desire for
our next President to possess noble attributes, I foolishly accepted
him as a man of prudence and virtuous intent. I welcomed his apparent
contrast to the former Oval Office poll-jockey and searched for further
reasons to support his presidency. It quickly became evident that George
W. Bush has not stopped nor even impeded our gradual descent into the
cesspool of Socialism. He dropped us into a freefall!
It is especially
difficult for persons with sound constitutionalist principles to witness
fellow Americans mindlessly idolizing government. Expressing blind faith
in a divine intelligence might fulfill spiritual or a few emotional
needs. I shall immediately spare the reader from my ignorance of this
subject by assigning such possibilities to the clergy and psychologists
for debate. What I can state with absolute certainty is that honoring
government with the same intensity of devotion always leads to catastrophic
consequences (Nazi Germany, Communist China, and Soviet Russia).
The betrayals exposed
by the September 11th events have compounded tenfold with the subsequent
enactment of the "USA Patriot Act" and the establishment of
a "Department of Homeland Security." Unless state and local
community governments unite and adopt a stance of resistance, the grievous
effects of this unconstitutional "Act" and its predatory police
state "Department" will be endured by our children forever.
The strategies
and limitations of this "war on terrorism" remain unclear.
We do not know where it will end or when. Resulting from counterfactual
Cabinet advice and our misplaced trust, the President—not content
with dishonoring the rights of Americans—has invaded a third-world
nation and slaughtered innocent men, women, and children. The President's
atrocities proceed unabated while this writing progresses. According
to the President, there are "60 or more" nations that provide
sanctuary for their terrorist inhabitants. With dubious evidence being
adequate for the consoling rationalization of our government's imperialist
aggression, where will George Bush draw the line? This war is no more
limited to fighting terrorism than I am to eating turnip everyday for
my entire life.
This cleverly dramatized
"war on terrorism," truly a perpetual war of "New World
Order" Socialist domination, has further provided public servants—through
the "USA Patriot Act"—with the opportunity to molest
the unalienable rights of their trusting or browbeaten masters.
Each day, they
rape the Constitution and molest our unalienable rights. Our disingenuous
President, Attorney General, Legislators, and Supreme Court Justices
dishonor the memory, intent, and integrity of our Founding Fathers.
Citizens are quite capable of accurately interpreting the Constitution
and Bill of Rights. However, these self-perceived ethical scholars of
law have bastardized the Constitution with their convoluted and ambiguous
interpretations of our unequivocal Bill of Rights. Liberty by liberty,
virtue by virtue, they are eroding our cherished Constitutional Republic.
These very same servants of the people can be the most cunning and corrupting
of outlaws. As a result of their refusal to ethically interpret constitutional
law, we now have the following extreme threat to our freedoms.
Formerly a staunch
supporter of John Ashcroft, I must now denounce his demigod aspirations.
Never hesitating to let the people know of his outrage over this, or
about that, will he seek vengeance on those unrepentant souls who persist
in questioning his tactics? What lengths will he go to express his displeasure
under the preposterous claim of defending our freedoms?
Are his opponents
to be blacklisted as terrorist sympathizers or traitors? Will their
telephones and computers be wiretapped? Can we expect their bank accounts
to be forfeited, or homes ransacked without court ordered warrants supported
by probable cause and sworn affidavits? Are the harassment tactics of
IRS audits in the offing? Will it be a secretive home or office invasion,
a knock on the door, or the favored battering-ram incursion? Will false
evidence be planted? How many upright reputations and innocent lives
will be destroyed? Who will become his next "person of interest"?
Because of love for my country and standing in defense of human rights,
will I suffer the pain of his wrath? Or will you?
The Attorney General
has publicly advocated the use of detention camps for U.S. citizens
suspected as "enemy combatants" or of having terrorist associations.
If I am not mistaken, Heinrich Himmler originally intended his camps
to be used for political nonconformists, and others suspected as enemies
of the "Fatherland." Does it not gnaw on your sense of security
to know that the Attorney General and President can condemn, through
an unconstitutionally clandestine "committee," any citizen
as an "enemy combatant" of our "Homeland?"
This unfortunate
citizen, possibly you or a member of your family, could further be stripped
of citizenship and imprisoned for an indefinite period at an undisclosed
location. All of which will be accomplished without ethical judicial
oversight or Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment protections.
Except for declarations
of war, martial law, or insurrections, habeas corpus—the people's
protection against illegal imprisonment—cannot be suspended. And,
if government nullifies any of the twenty-six Amendments (18th repealed
by the 21st) or Articles of the Constitution, it has then lost its constitutional
foundations; consequently, bureaucratic legitimacy is ended, and all
governing authority forfeited. John Ashcroft's abuse of power is too
obvious to be denied. Please do not jeopardize family welfare by naively
assuming that such miscarriages of justice and acts of tyranny cannot
occur on U.S. soil. Like myself, awaken to reality. They have begun!
Unlike our government's
inability to connect the dots of evidence pertaining to the September
11th terrorist attacks, are these dots of tyrannical behavior beginning
to connect for you? Many loyal Americans are now vulnerable to all such
governmental abuses as a consequence of this deceptively labeled "USA
Patriot Act."
Are John Ashcroft's
assurances of protected human rights, enough for you? His unenforceable
personal promises bring me no relief, and certainly do not enhance my
confidence in his roguish or bumbling federal police force raiders.
If not held in check by the people, this contemptuous public servant
will have all the might of this bureaucracy—including its weaponry—to
bring only misery to those possessors of courage and dignity that hazard
to speak the unpopular and denied truth. Bravely dismissing their fear
of government, these concerned, informed, and outspoken patriots are
the unimpeachable champions of our nation. Not he!
In contrast to
George Bush and John Ashcroft, sincere patriots of America will never
infringe upon the unalienable rights of others for any reason. By what
constitutional or moral authority do they dare to do so? Is it their
contention that the destruction the Bill of Rights is acceptable collateral
damage in the government's war on terrorism?
Their breach of the
barriers set forth in the peremptory Bill of Rights has destroyed all
creditability as defenders of justice and the Constitution. They have
betrayed the principles of a free nation. Contrary to their nationally
applauded position, no situation (terrorism, world war, and natural disasters)
can ever be so grave as to justify any encroachments on the Bill of Rights.
A war that is focused on fighting terrorism, perpetrated within the borders
of this nation or against constitutionally supported United States interests,
is always justified but never the intentional or careless destruction
of our Constitution. Never!
Neither Osama bin
Laden nor Saddam Hussein ever had the power to destroy the Bill of Rights
or our American Dream. George W. Bush does! As an opportunistic response
to the September 11th attacks, you have heard the predictable dire warnings
calling for restricted liberties shouted from the Oval Office and Halls
of Congress. It is simply one more bureaucratic platter filled with
"compelling state interests" hysteria shoved down our throats.
At the time of
this writing, George Bush and John Ashcroft have legislatively secured
such egregious infringements on our liberties. President Bush and the
subversive congressional members have effectively suspended the Constitution
and Bill of Rights. Does anyone honestly believe that our rights will
ever be voluntarily restored? How many unaware bystanders will be sucked
into this propeller of injustice as a result of their outlaw legislation?
I will suggest that this "Act" provides convenient excuses
to further harass political nonconformists and other controversial individuals.
Owing to their
ineffectual assaults on the citizen defenders of this nation and futile
attempts to win the "war on drugs," such draconian legislation
was solicited by the Department of Justice years before our buckaroo
President wanted Osama bin Laden dead or alive. Because of the present
threat, accompanied by government and media reinforced mass hysteria,
federal agencies and law enforcement were given all that they demanded.
It is about people control, not the eradication of terrorism. It is
an insult to the intelligence of patriotic Americans that our President
would dare place the label "Patriot" on legislation that is
manifestly unconstitutional and particularly harmful to our Constitutional
Republic.
We are now on the
verge of encountering the most ruthless of enemies, the full-blown police
state. Under no conditions will a legitimate government, obedient to
the laws of our Founding Fathers, ever attempt to breach the barriers
set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Loyalty to George
Bush is certainly not evidence of American patriotism; it is an ugly
reflection of community ignorance, cowardice, and willing enslavement.
As an avowed response
to the September 11th terrorist attacks, President Bush added the noble
word "justice" to his public relations vocabulary. He was
probably unaware of its existence prior to this catastrophe, as he has
never mentioned "justice" in regards to clearing the terrorist
filth out of our federal police agencies. Without the reestablishment
of "justice" in government, the people can justifiably toss
the President's campaign promise of "compassionate conservatism"
into their bursting bin of political prattle.
People! George Bush
cannot deliver us from worldly evils, nor will he grant our American
Dream. We must get a grip on reason, and quickly detour from this perilous
"yellow brick road" of unreality. If we continue to deny the
unmistakable evidence of his results and further believe that blindly
following a leader or political party are the qualifying attributes
of an All-American Patriot, then our predicament is indeed dire. Our
homage to this presidential "Wizard of Oz" will result in
the losses of honor, integrity, liberty, and individualism.
The Republican
agenda has been corrupted. However, George Bush is not the only person
deserving of censure for creating their neoconservative platform. Furthermore,
every culprit that is responsible for the destruction of our Bill of
Rights must be unmasked. In varying degrees, politicians and citizens
are culpable for the decay of our freedoms and national virtues.
My disappointment
with our President's dangerous and unconstitutional stance must now
be apparent to the reader. Yet, I am surely guilty of both unreasoned
optimism and irresponsibly ignoring my guiding principles. My vision
for a revitalized constitutional America was an inspiring dream, but
reality always awakens me. By supporting politicians with inferior moral
standards, we devalue ourselves, the lives of our children, and the
heroes who died for our freedoms.
Our fears and denials
will never reward us with freedom. They will enslave us!

A Revolutionary Old Idea for Curbing Immigration
by
Lewis J. Goldberg
A
recent Chuck
Baldwin column highlights the fact that President Bush's mere mention
of an amnesty plan for millions of illegal Mexican immigrants in the
U.S. has caused a marked increase in unlawful penetrations of our southern
border. The very presence of such a poor country adjacent to such a
rich one demands a workable solution, for the desire to improve one's
condition - to eat well instead of go hungry - is not stanched by dry
desert nor armed troops.
I can remember as a kid in Southern California - back when INS pretty
much looked the other way and deportation busings were mainly for show
when the political climate demanded it - Mexican illegals were everywhere
doing all the jobs us Gringos refused to take. Janitors, farm laborers,
cooks, busboys, window washers, construction workers, housemaids, and
many other positions were filled by Mexicans - some legal, but many
not. Employers weren't checking documentation back then.
And then there was day labor. If anyone needed help, say to weed a large
garden or to dig a trench to install an in ground sprinkler system,
all one had to do was drive to town and look on the corners. If there
was a Mexican guy just standing there and not crossing the street, chances
were he was looking for work. "¿Trabajas, amigo?" [My Spanish
is rusty, forgive me if you know better!] "Si, Señor," would
come the eager reply, and he'd be in your passenger seat or in the back
of your truck in a heartbeat. As long as you gave him a twenty at the
end of the day he'd do anything you wanted.
I know all the reasons for slamming the border shut and not letting
one single migrant slip through, but that doesn't change the fact that
in the marketplace, there is a genuine need for what Mexico and Mexicans
have to offer. In this modern technological world, everyone thinks they
ought to be able to make $100,000 a year or more and drive a Hummer
- even if they have no marketable skills. Our strict employment laws
make filling so-called menial tasks impossible to fill. Minimum wage
laws cause jobs not worth $5.15 an hour to never be created, and many
American people - never mind Mexicans - who are, shall we say, low in
skills, are shut out of the possibility of productive labor and it's
opportunities for advancement with attendant increase in skills.
Focusing once more on the immigration issue, back in the beginnings
of migration to these shores, wealthy landed individuals often sponsored
folks from the old country to come over and work for them for a number
of years. After that time, they would be enough established in the ways
of their new land, and would be able to either remain in the employ
of their former master, or go out and seek new opportunities. It was
called indentured servitude.
Isn't there enough of a need for help in this land - help that could
be offered by an honest, hard-working soul looking to start a new life?
Aren't there folks who are overworked in their day jobs and could use
a hand keeping up with things around the house? Aren't there businesses
that could offer new perks of service if they could only afford to keep
someone for the tasks at an affordable rate? I'm not talking about displacing
American workers, but supplementing individuals and certain businesses
with the ability to create new avenues for self-improvement to those
who need it most.
If such a system were returned to service, many of the INS agents and
border patrol people presently being paid to police the borders and
checkpoints could be made into caseworkers to oversee the indentured
placements, to ensure that no abuse is taking place. Of course, this
opens up a whole new can of worms regarding abuses that go undetected
and the pains of instituting yet another government program. But, chances
are, the Mexico/U.S. border would become a very quiet place, which would
no doubt please the unfortunate people who live on that firing range
today.

Ten Steps To Freedom
by Harsha Sankar
Most
Americans are growing extremely weary of the malgovernance, ineptitude,
and legalized corruption perpetuated by the legal profession, bureaucracy,
and lobbyists. However, only a few are focused on the core problems
causing this sickness. Too many patriotic Americans concentrate on treating
particular symptoms rather than curing the disease. If the patient has
AIDS, he/she does not need to be treated for sores only. When the fascists,
monarchs, and communists ruled nations, the people had to make the removal
of its system of governance their number one priority. Yet the whole
nation is immersed in a maze of issues, however important, without addressing
these basic matters simply because everything has been unnecessarily
complicated.
Listed are probable solutions:
1.
America needs verifiable and traceable elections which are tabulated
on a grassroots level. Paper ballots should be used. Preferably, the
secret ballot process should be abolished.
2. The United States is not an unbridled democracy. Practicing judicial
advocates should not serve in legislative and executive branches due
to obvious conflict of interest. It is highly unconstitutional because
it flagrantly violates the Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances
concepts.
3. Non-attorneys should be eligible for judgeship at the state and local
level. Judges and prosecutors should banned from belonging to private
organizations comprised solely of advocates which purpose will obviously
be the advancement of its agenda.
4. All bar associations should be stripped of their authority to license
counsel. No permission from a private organization should be necessary
for a truly private sector citizen to assist another citizen in any
manner on any legal matter. Judicial advocacy organizations should be
excluded from the judge-selection process.
5. All regulatory agencies should be abolished and all regulations repealed.
Only lawmakers, or the people through direct referendum, should regulate
society with laws. Laws should be written in plain English and should
not be exclusively written by judicial advocates in "legalese".
All enforcement of laws should be borne by state and local police. The
only exception should be issues involving vital national security interests
which includes espionage.
6. All contributors and contributions to political campaigns should
be made public record. Only American citizens should be allowed to contribute.
While reasonable limits can be placed on direct contributions, any other
restrictions would be a blatant infringement on an individual's First
Amendment Right.
7.Repeal the Federal Reserve Act and abolish the Federal Reserve.
The printing and coining of currency should be the sole responsibility
of a U.S. government agency, the U.S. Treasury.
8.Allow the military to manage the military. Civilian legislators and
the Commander-In-Chief should only decide when to use the military and
how much funds it should recieve.
9.
America must protect its sovereignty by restricting the role of the
U.N. as a meeting place for all nations to voice their opinions. All
taxpayer funding of the IMF & World Bank must be stopped. If government
wishes to contribute foreign aid and loans, it must do so on an ad hoc
basis. No member of the three branches of government should belong to
any private organization with non-citizen members five years before
and five years after public service.
10. The United States Constitution must be reinstated as the supreme
law of the land. Portions of the 14th Amendment must be repealed along
with subsequent legislation, executive orders, and court decisions
which reaffirm the gold-fringe flag in all government (including the
courts).
The threat of instant bankruptcy and poverty due to outrageous healthcare,
education, and legal costs will erode civility/trust and have promoted
panic and social tensions. As more people are working two jobs and longer
hours just to make ends meet, the ability to earn an honest productive
living will decrease significantly. This has already adversely affected
the family structure. With recession, joblessness, and even war looming
on the horizon, it is imperative these proposals are implemented.
