We deal in realities, not wish lists. We don't
pull any punches and never will. We write what many others are afraid to
write. We say what others don’t have the courage to say, in a climate of fear
that has made "politically correct" a retreat for cowards. In the end, it is up
to the reader to determine for him or herself whether we have the best interests
of a free America and the individual rights of all Americans, at heart.
Each reader of what we write has the option to accept or reject our arguments,
premises, or opinions. If the reader is offended by what we write, it is
their issue to resolve, not ours. It is their right to make that judgment but it
is not up to us to care one way or another. Because, in a free society, it
is the fearless expression of ideas, whether benign or controversial, that stirs
the pot of free thought and gives it life, as well as advancing the principles
of liberty.
So let's face it ladies and gentlemen, freedom
is a facade, an illusion, a fantasy, a mirage. You have the perception and
the presumption of being free in America but the perception is a lie.
Freedom means having the freedom to choose and making decisions for your self
and those in your charge. Freedom also means taking responsibility for
your actions and respecting the rights of others.
But if you are so free, then why do you need a
Social Security number at birth? The reason is because government tracks
you from birth with that number. Why does the government need to track you
from birth in a free society? Because the government needs the money you
will earn to pay its debt to its borrowers, including the Federal Reserve.
You and your earnings during your lifetime are nothing but collateral for what
government borrows. How do you like the idea that your worth as a natural
born sovereign citizen is to collateralize the debt of your government?
That makes you just chattel, like a domestic animal grown for food, not a human
with unalienable rights, bestowed upon you by nature, not by man or
government.
Why do you need a license to get married?
Why do you need a driver's license? Why do you need a fishing and hunting
license? Why do you need a permit to build a home? Why are you being
forced to buy health insurance? Each question can be answered in one
sentence, "to charge you for the privilege granted to you by government to
do something you have the right to do anyway and to track you from birth to
death and control your behavior while alive and tax you even after
death." How people live with and accept this
knowledge is anyone's guess. The problem is, the people by in large, don't
even know they are being cajoled, manipulated and controlled and most of them
don't care.
The fact is that in America, you have freedom of
choice up until you bump into the millions of government laws, regulations,
restriction and ordinances. You don't have to go very far with free choice
before you hit the wall of government regulations. Just try starting a business
or figure out your income taxes. Government allows you to operate "freely"
within a bubble they have prescribed for you within the confines of a zillion
laws. But there is life outside government's imposed bubble that they
don't want you to see.
Why are your children being indoctrinated and
brainwashed in school? Their education is not to foster freedom and make
them ready for an adult life with a broad education in a free land. It is to
(teach) promote a specific agenda. The agenda is socialism, social
justice, multi-culturalism, environmentalism, collectivism and diversity and to
eliminate the idea of individualism and individual rights, not to mention
property rights. Your children are being "schooled" in the art of being
compliant little robots to a new world order collective. If you don't
think so, start reading their textbooks.
If you think No Child Left Behind and Common
Core State Standards are for improving the learning experience in K-12, you are
suffering from a grand illusion, planted there by government. Check out
this mother from Arkansas that takes real issues with Common Core. Her testimony
is compelling. http://amac.us/arkansas-mom-
Everything you believe about government is an
illusion and a lie. Government is not benevolent and it cheats, lies and
steals with abandon. It does not exist to protect your individual
rights. Government is about control of the masses by force of law and
force of violence. The longer government power goes unchallenged, the more
powerful it gets and boy is the American government, at all levels,
powerful.
If you are so free, why do you put up with
paying taxes to a government that wastes 20% of what you pay them and a
government tax collection agency that is wholly corrupt and acts more like the
Nazi Gestapo? Why do you allow government to run up $18 Trillion in debt
and run a $1 Trillion annual deficit well into the future? Why do you just
roll your eyes with a wide-open border and a flawed situation that allows
illegal aliens to get money from the government (your money) on the child
tax credit and the earned income tax credit by the billions of dollars when they
pay little or no taxes?
Did you know that Chinese women will pay $80,000
to come to America to have their "anchor babies" so that all their Chinese
relatives can come to America on visas and then overstay their visas and live
here in the shadows taking advantage of your tax dollars? That's
right! They are living off of you.
Why is it OK with you that your president grants
amnesty to 5,000,000 illegal aliens by changing the law with an executive
order? He has no authority to change the law under our Constitution. He
can only enforce the law. Only Congress can write new law or change old
law. Do you think Congress represents you under the Constitution?
Then why hasn't Congress or the U. S. Supreme Court stopped the
President?
Why do you sit back and watch as government
bureaucracies pass millions of laws to control your behavior when under the
Constitution only the Congress has the power to make law?
Why do you allow your tax money to be paid to
dictators, despots and our enemies under the guise of foreign aid?
Why do you let radical environmental laws,
lobbied by rich international environmental groups and passed by your
government, TAKE your property rights from you and not put up a fight? If
you don't have property rights, you have no rights.
And finally, why did you let the government take
over your health care? They nationalized one sixth of the American economy
without your permission and they did it for political and monetary reasons, not
because it benefited you.
Under our constitution, government has an
obligation and a duty to protect your individual rights but they haven't been
doing that since the ink was dry on the Constitution. They swear on oath
that they will do so and then they violate that oath every time they open their
mouth or pass a law.
But laws are only for the people. Politicians,
judges and bureaucrats are above the law and show a reckless disregard for the
law and a reckless disregard for your money.
What are the people going to do about it?
Mostly nothing. But only the people can reverse what is wrong with America
and the people are not in the mood! As long as "other people's money"
holds out and they can be entertained with mindless violence and debauchery,
they are just fine with the way things are going. Hey! Why try to
stop a good thing? Right?
It is all about power ladies and gentlemen, but
most people don't get it. These socialist policies we have described
above, promoted by government, buy votes and it is the votes that perpetuate
their power, especially in a Democracy, which America has become. A
Democracy is nothing more than mob rule as manipulated by government where the
mob is essentially a clueless herd and basically ignorant! Democrats have become
masters at manipulating mob rule for votes and dividing us so that we fight with
each other.
Socialism is a massive Ponzi scheme that plays
on the innate weakness of man. But it is doomed to fail, as it did for the
Romans and every other country that has tried it. Eventually, there is no
money to distribute and those providing the money revolt and those not getting
the money riot. Government then steps in and declares martial law, a
direct path to a dictatorship.
Once the socialism cycle begins, there is no
turning it off until it fails on its own accord, or the people arrest the system
before it fails. If socialism isn't arrested by the people history repeats
itself ….. AGAIN! It would appear that repeating history is in our
immediate future.
But this we can guarantee. The longer the
people wait to stop government and rein in its rising power, the greater the
chance that the only alternative left to the people will come out of the muzzle
of a gun, the outcome of which is totally unpredictable.
Based on the foregoing we have decided to drop
our idea of the "Exclosers" organization to expose government corruption.
After over a month of promoting the idea, the response was not just
underwhelming it was almost non-existent. By now we expected at least a
hundred people or more would join the effort. Only FOUR did!
The book we wrote on "How To Free America
in 5 Years" will go to the shredder and the website
has been taken down. After eight years of trying, this is our last
overture to get people involved in the effort to preserve their
freedom.
People love to talk or write about freedom, but
they don't have the will or the courage to do anything about it. Sure
there are a few, but way too few. Maybe sometime in the future the people
will rise up en masse but by then the government will really be all-powerful. We
wish those that try, God speed. However, victory will not be
assured. The forces that are pushing all people and all nations toward a
one-world-order are more powerful than the will of the people to challenge that
power.
A free nation like America will probably never
rise again. The planet will have been conquered by an elite few who
control the money, the land, the food, the water, the energy and health
care. The people will be subjugated and become nothing more than subjects
without rights. They will have done it without a shot being fired. This
was the dream of all megalomaniacs of the past, like Genghis Khan, Attila the
Hun, Alexander the Great, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and now Al Queda, the Muslim
Brother Hood, ISIS Putin and who knows, maybe even Obama. That dream is on
the verge of coming true. The American people could still stop it, but
right now most of them are apathetic, disengaged and too comfortable to lift a
finger. It's just easier to ignore reality and people are pre-programmed
to take the easy path.
And that is what we were "A-Fixin to
Esplain To You."
