In a recent article we wrote this: "The power of the
Progressives has grown to the point that more Americans find a sleazy,
hopelessly corrupt, power hungry, insanely ambitious, half man,
'What-Difference-Does-It-Make' Hillary Clinton, a better candidate for president
than any one of the 20 or so declared or undeclared Republican candidates.
That's not Hillary's fault! It is a testament to how successful the
Progressives have been over the last 100 years in buying off the public for
votes …. with your money."
Since President Johnson's Great Society (a
Liberal Progressive Democrat) in the mid 1960's, the American
government has extracted from the economy and the taxpayer by force, an
estimated $22,000,000,000,000 (that's trillion) to
allegedly lift millions of Americans out of poverty. To put
22,000,000,000,000 into perspective, that many one dollar bills, laid end to
end, would reach a point from Earth, to about half way between the planets of
Uranus and Neptune, or 2,118,055,555 miles, or three quarters of the way across
the solar system.
This extraction out of the economy of such a massive amount of
money has had two negative impacts on America and Americans but has done little
to stem the tide of the poor and weak among us. In fact, it has only aggravated
and perpetuated the life of the poor and weak.
1. The severe loss of liquidity to the
economy, whose lifeblood is after all money, has inhibited job growth,
entrepreneurs, new products and world trade of goods and services. The
loss of this revenue has also put crimps in the services government is supposed
to provide, such as roads, bridges, infrastructure and our military readiness.
Added to this loss of liquidity is the massive increase in regulations passed by
politicians who never read the laws they pass.
2. But even worse than that, it has robbed
over two generations of Americans of their personal pride, their self-reliance,
their independence, their potential accomplishments and their self-worth and has
relegated millions of American families to generational poverty.
Nevertheless, we acknowledge that some in our society are in need of society's
help. However, when there are more people "needing" help than those who are
funding that help, it is unsustainable.
Instead, what has been created is a huge mass (tens of millions) of bought off American freeloaders,
miscreants, ner do wells and criminals, literally sucking the economic life out
of productive Americans, aided and abetted by the federal government, riding a
white horse called Robin Hood, with a saddle named Progressive and reins and
bridal called Liberal. Robin Hood rides around in circles always being
pulled to the "left" by reins that only go one way, the Progressive way.
Millions of blacks have been bought off. That many and
more, Latinos have been bought off. Uneducated and even some educated
whites have been bought off. Illegal aliens are being bought off.
Union members have been bought off. The seniors have been bought
off. Food stamp recipients have been bought off. The
environmentalists have been bought off. Academia has been bought
off. Wall Street has been bought off. The news media has been bought
off. Government employees have been bought off. They have all been bought
off with your tax money to the tune of trillions of wasted dollars, all for the
purpose of one political party maintaining perpetual power by a majority of
bought off voters. Being bought off has become institutionalized in
America and it is totally and unequivocally unconstitutional.
All these bought off voters have their teeth firmly embedded in
your hide and their hands deep in your wallets. They have a
government-mandated contract on your earnings, enforced at the point of a gun,
pointed at your head. You are their slave by the simple
operation of a plurality of votes.
We guarantee you that this was not an accident, nor was the
Federal Reserve, the IRS, social security, the New Deal, the Great Society,
Medicare, Medicaid, 80 welfare programs….. and now Obama Care. This was
and is all part of a long-hatched plan by the Progressives over a span of 100
plus years, to be the only viable political party in America. The
conservative party, in reality, has no chance to overcome the power of the
majority of bought off voters, if they insist on sticking to conservative
principles. Therein lies the rub. The conservative party, just as
anxious to grab the reins of power, dumps its principles of liberty to pander to
the bought off voters in order to remain even remotely viable. By their
actions they just become another chapter of the Democrat party. The
current cadre of Republican candidates is falling all over themselves to do just
that, except maybe the "Donald." Has anyone paid close attention to the
Speaker of the House or the Senate Majority Leader lately, both Republicans, in
name only? They have been supporting Obama since the Republicans took control of
Congress in 2014. As a result, each year, the number of bought off voters
rises as they jump on the government-enforced, Robin Hood gravy train, aided and
abetted by both political parties.
A country that rose to such riches and power on the foundation
of freedom and capitalism, has now become weak, less powerful, rudderless and
essentially impotent, especially under such a feckless, incompetent leader with
a name right out of the tribes of Bedouins riding around the Arabian desert on
spitting camels.
The country is broke and the states are broke! Ex-Federal
Reserve Chairman Paul Volker just warned in the last few days that the
states have built up unsustainable long-term pension liabilities that the states
aren’t adequately funding. He suggested that a bunch of governors should
be fired. This is just another government-created bubble, at the state
level, that will burst in time.
Our economic, domestic, financial and foreign policies have
become a joke. Education has become indoctrination. We are a
laughing stock around the world as we sink ever lower into hegemony, debauchery
and decadence. America is a shadow of its former, formidable self.
Why? Because the Progressives, using the power of government and the
majority votes that keep them in power, has been and still is successful in
exploiting man's weakness for getting something for free, in exchange for their
vote. What continues to remain a great mystery to this author is why the
Hell those providing "the something for free" haven't risen up in
revolution and arrested this long march into national oblivion.
Greek is broke because of Progressive (socialist) policies. Most of the western countries
including America, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia are deep in debt, to the
tune of multiples of their Gross National Product. Australia is now toying
with "taxing" (yes we said taxing) savings accounts
deposited in banks. Watch for the run on banks if that happens.
There has even been "quiet" talk of the U. S. Government confiscating America's
private pension funds to pay down the debt and make the Federal Reserve whole.
The hidden debt bubble created by those policies and the
run-away printing of currency by the central banks to fund those policies, have
put every citizen, in every developed country, on an accelerating death train
headed for a sharp curve where derailment is a certainty. If you think
John Galt (Atlas Shrugged), or some American freedom
or militia group, is going to suddenly appear on the scene and save this death
train from derailment, you are delusional. Derailment has already been
decided for you and you had no vote in the matter. All you did was look
the other way while it was happening.
But the central bankers and the governments have a plan to
avoid derailment, developed at top-secret meetings of the G7, the G20, the
Trilaterals and the Bilderbergs. In order to save the central banks,
government and big business from a worldwide melt down, resulting from insane
socialist policies and the folly of Keynesian economics, drastic measures will
have to be instituted among men of planet Earth ….. for their salvation of
course. Here are a few of those measures.
1. The merging of all nations into
world government and the dissolution of national
sovereignty.
2. The repealing of all national
constitutions, to be replaced by world mandates.
3. The confiscation of all weapons
from the population.
4. A one-world army where the
conscripts wear blue berets.
5. Drastic reductions of green house
gases, driven by crushing tax penalties.
6. Elimination of all fossil fuels
to be replaced by alternative energy sources.
7. A massive reduction in the
standard of living as compared to the U. S. standard of
living.
8. Individual rights subjugated to
the collective, as dictated by the world elite.
9. Elimination of property rights
and the institution of absolute environmental rights.
10. The destruction of capitalism as
we know it, to be replaced by some form of communism.
11. Finally, massive tax increases in every
developed country.
If you don't think so, then you haven't been following the
debates in Congress and the Administration over trade agreements. It is
all about merging America into the one-world-order and it is being driven by
world special interests and giant corporations as well as the central
banks. It is not about what is in the best interests of America,
Americans, American sovereignty, or unalienable, individual rights. It is about
the best interests of the central banks, the continued survival of giant
corporations and the elite who wield political power.
If the Founding Fathers were here in the flesh, there would
be a wave of revolution talk (rebellion)
moving across
America like a wind driven grass fire. Well-armed militias would be
popping up everywhere. Insurrection would become the rallying cry for freedom
and Americans, by the millions, would be clamoring to sign our "Declaration of Open
Resistance."
Yes, there are peaceful solutions to America's great problems
but only if the voices of reason and freedom, are louder and stronger than the
freeloader's vote and only if those voices are willing to take the "hits" that
will surely come their way from those who wish to maintain the status quo.
We aren't holding our breath in anticipation of that happening.
Finally, "just how are you going to
overcome a fully politicized U. S. Supreme Court that invents the law for
political reasons?"
For those who still have fight left within them, urban or
rural alike, our NARLO
website
provides volumes of information, descriptions of the problems and the details of
many solutions to those problems, including IRS issues. It could take
weeks to digest all of the valuable information residing on this powerful
10-year old website, at least it would for those who have a deep desire to see
that the freeloaders don't win by a plurality of their votes.
