Of course, with Donald Trump's willingness to be a “birther” and not able to be silenced about it, there is his statement that “the birth certificate may show he[Obama] was Muslim.”

Now, I am not about to believe that would be on the certificate, but, to make sure all know Obama admits his Muslim upbringing, I would direct you here, http://www.barackobama.com/2007/03/06/obama_man_of_the_world.php [UPDATE 02-24-2013, suddenly remembered the Wayback Machine, archive from 2007 heh, http://web.archive.org/web/20070308125213/http://www.barackobama.com/2007/03/06/obama_man_of_the_world.php]. However with the 2012 campaign in full swing they've decided to remove that particular page. Luckily a copy of it is available here, http://greenpagan.blogspot.com/2007/03/obama-man-of-world.html and you don't have to log in to read it as you do at the New York Times, http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

In any event, paragraphs 3-7 are the admission most are looking for:

“In foreign policy as well, Mr. Obama would bring to the White House an important experience that most other candidates lack: he has actually lived abroad. He spent four years as a child in Indonesia and attended schools in the Indonesian language, which he still speaks.

“'I was a little Jakarta street kid,' he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

“Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

“Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)”


Now I'd like to make sure also that we're all aware of what the Muslim Call To Prayer is, and how it's done, thus a video [ATTENTION, THE VIDEO HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN. See 2nd video below of the Muslim Call to Prayer to see what Barack Obama recited with "a perfect accent"]:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAvlimEYEpQ

Pretty good to keep that perfect accent for 40 years now isn't it?

I must set forth that in order for a child to attend School in Indonesia at the time the child had to be an Indonesian citizen. In order to be an Indonesian citizen the father had to swear for the child as a Muslim and had to renounce any other citizenship. Thus, according to the law ruling Indonesia, Barack Obama had to be a Muslim to be in school there, and, as you can see, the school taught the Koran.

What puzzles me the most today is that I haven't heard of a “fatwa” being issued against Barack Obama by radical Islam or anyone. Their belief is that it is punishable by death to leave Islam, and the age by which you became Muslim doesn't matter either, if you leave you are subject to death. Now a high profile figure, even as U.S. Senator, and particularly anything having to do with the west, who was once Muslim would be an absolute target of such Islamic extremist radicals, if, for no other purpose, than the publicity and ability to use this as a recruiting tool.

Thus, I'll go out on a limb and say, based on the foregoing alone, I am convinced Barack Obama may still be a Muslim.

Issue: Taxation

Areas of relation:

-Portion of germane Article I, Section 2 and direct taxation:

“Representatives [1]and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”

-Portion of Article I, Section 8:

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, [2]to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
“To [3]borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
“[4]To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;”

-Portion of Article I, Section 10:
“No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; [5]coin Money; [6]emit Bills of Credit; [7]make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.”

1. Was omitted from Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, and appears to establish the State governments fund the National Government through direct taxation.

2. Taxes are intended to pay the debts and assure the national government is able to meet Article I, Section 8 obligations, and nothing else.

3. The capitalization of “Money” makes it a proper noun, and in relation to borrow, it appears this is a particular type of debt issued against the Credit of the United States, and is after establishment of a direct Tax on the States. Today the “Faith and Credit” clause of municipal and government bonds is known to mean the taxing power of the governmental entity issuing the bond.

4. Again capitalized, “Money” with statements of making the value regular (“regulate”) and setting forth that weights and measures need to be a certain, accurate, and unchanging (“fix”). It is obvious that there is no mention of gold nor silver in regard to the National Government and its issue of money. This stands to reason since the National Government's entire property holding is the District of Columbia, 10 miles square, and lacks the area for significant amounts of these resources.

5. Capitalized “Money” after the “coin” in use as a verb.

6. “Bills of Credit” is a proper instrument title, http://www.lectlaw.com/def/b099.htm, defined:
“It is provided by the Constitution of the United States, Art. I, Sec. X, that no state shall 'emit bills of credit, or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment or debts.' Such bills of credit are declared to mean promissory notes or bills issued exclusively on the credit of the state, and for the payment of which the faith of the state only is pledged. The prohibition, therefore, does not apply to the notes of a state bank drawn on the credit of a particular fund set apart for the purpose. Bills of credit may be defined to be paper issued and intended to circulate through the community for its ordinary purposes as money redeemable at a future day.” It is worth noting that the National Government is not prohibited from issuing “Bills of Credit” and that this context of “the faith of the state only is pledged,” I haven't, so far, found support for.”--Emphasis mine, http://www.lectlaw.com/def/b099.htm

7. “Thing” “Coin” “Tender” “Payment of Debts” are all proper nouns. Coin here is not being used as a verb, and it is rather interesting that this “gold and silver” requirement is a requirement placed upon the states.


Now for what I understand of all of this:

-The capitalized term “Money” is a specie of legal vehicle to be treated as an object, be it coin or paper.

-The Term “coin Money” means the relating of the paper to a tangible as it's guarantee.

-That this phrase “make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts” is a prohibition on the States from denying their gold and silver to be made available for redemption of “Money” issued by the United States.

-The term “Bill of Credit” as a prohibitive use of the States, is to assure that States do not issue currency that is backed by their gold and silver, (causing the tangible to be accounted for backing two different currency issues) that States do not “coin Money.”

Conclusion: The “gold and silver Coin” is specifically for use to pay the “direct Tax” of the National Government when imposed upon the States to afford the issue of “Money” as National “Bills of Credit.” That this system of money caused the National Government to be dependent upon the States for funding its activities. The States therefore were the top of the heap in the golden rule, “he with the gold rules.”

This caused an extreme jealousy of the National Government, indicated by the 1861-1865 currency acts to fund the Civil War, and which were the source of the entire central government run currency system that has reversed the flow of funds so all monies come from the National Government to the States. This has caused the States to be dependent on the National Government for their ability to fund themselves, and without using their own resources in a manner to assure funding of their State or the National Government as a whole.

That today, the $14,000,000,000,000 debt is due to this reversal of flow and lack of maintaining State Power as a check and balance to National Government trespass upon the States and Individual Liberty.

The $600 1099 small business reporting requirement is a perfect reason to visit that “you have to pass it to see what's in it” Pelosi-ism. The reality is in the House Rules and the fact that those rules were ignored by the Democrat Party. Below is a clause that explains why this provision was in the bill in the first place, that this $600 provision originated in the wrong house in order to meet the legal requirements that Newt Gingrich's Congress wanted to rein in government spending.

Note that if you wish to skip below the cited legalese mumbo jumbo to follow, I entirely understand.

Please do note that the following is being cited to help people understand the larger scope of government violation occurring here. The existence of this revenue generating provision in the healthcare “law” is direct evidence of the failure to follow the Written Constitutional process to be lawful and have any binding effect. There is no consent of the governed in the Healthcare “law,” that I'd rather call, “The Cloward and Piven Progressive Healthcare To Destroy America Act”:

Here's Rule XIII, clause 3, (d):

“Each report of a committee on a public bill or public joint resolution shall contain the following:
(1) A statement citing the specific powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the law proposed by the bill or joint resolution.”-- http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_house_rules_manual&docid=110hruletx-70.pdf

“This reporting requirement replaced former clause 2(l)(4) of rule XI, which became a part of the rules under the Committee Reform Amendments of 1974, effective January 3, 1975 (H. Res. 988, 93d Cong., Oct. 8, 1974, p. 34470). In its original form the provision required an analytical statement of inflationary impact, but in the 105th Congress it was converted to require a statement of constitutional authority (H. Res. 5, Jan. 7, 1997, p. 121). If a point of order were sustained under this subparagraph, the measure would be ‘‘recommitted’’ to await possible return to the Calendar by the filing of a supplemental report pursuant to clause 3(a)(2) correcting the technical error (Feb. 13, 1995, p. 4591)....

“The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (P.L. 104–4; 109 Stat. 48) added a new part B to title IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 658–658g) that imposes several requirements on committees with respect to measures effecting ‘‘Federal mandates’’ (secs. 423–424; 2 U.S.C. 658b–c)
and establishes points of order to permit separate votes on whether to enforce those requirements (sec. 425; 2 U.S.C. 658d). See § 1127, infra.”-- Emphasis mine, Ibid.

Not so funny how this Constitutional Authority is missing and admitted to be missing, at the date of this article, according to the United States Senate, http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3590.

And since they happened to mention “unfunded mandates” let's look at the United States Code, the law they passed “that imposes several requirements on committees with respect to measures effecting 'Federal mandates',” in pertinent part:

2 U.S.C. 658-658g, http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+2USC658:

“(6) Federal mandate

“ The term ``Federal mandate'' means a Federal intergovernmental mandate or a Federal private sector mandate, as defined in paragraphs (5) and (7).”-- Ibid.

Paragraph 7 goes this way (States should look at paragraph 5):

“(7) Federal private sector mandate

The term ``Federal private sector mandate'' means any provision in legislation, statute, or regulation that--
(A) would impose an enforceable duty upon the private sector
except--
(i) a condition of Federal assistance; or
(ii) a duty arising from participation in a voluntary
Federal program; or

“ (B) would reduce or eliminate the amount of authorization of appropriations for Federal financial assistance that will be provided to the private sector for the purposes of ensuring compliance with such duty.”-- Ibid


If you just skipped down to here, I don't blame you.

In summary, there are rules that must be complied with to assure there is no violation of the Constitution and its specific limits, as well as powers granted to each branch exclusive of each other. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first rules for the House and what we have today is based on his original rules.

Some of these rules base themselves on legislation, such at the legislation that ended up as part of the United States Code.

Once made a law, violations of that statute cause 2 things to happen, 1) it is a crime and 2) it has a prescribed Title 18 punishment. And this stands to all purpose and intent in the existence of the Constitution.

Also, it is worth noting, that where a power is specifically granted to a branch of government, unless otherwise specified, that power belongs to that branch alone.

Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices by the Senate is as exclusive, and limits the House, in the same way that Article I, Section 7, Clause 1, “all Bills for Raising Revenue shall originate in the House” excludes all other branches. There is no mention of “start” but instead “originate” meaning, the whole revenue generating idea must have origin in the House. This $600 1099 provision, as well as the entire “individual mandate” were concoctions of the Senate, that they ignore a previous House bill's content entirely—the bill used was entirely rewritten to excuse Senate illegal imposition in “origination” of a tax, as they admit in the blue web-link text (following link in next paragraph).

Of course, at current, according to these rules, the blue web-link text for the actual healthcare “law” that “passed” (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3590), and the Department Of Justice defensive pleading in the 26 state Healthcare lawsuit (http://21statelawsuit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/HCSM-DOJ-Reply-MTD-DE-74.pdf), it is clear the Constitution has been usurped by arguendo ad infinitum. And this makes it further certain that government does not take the Constitution to mean any more than something to argue about, to destroy the foundation of this nation by this instrument of settlement of the argument through its ratification by us. Our Founders set forth specific enumerated powers granted for specific intents and purposes, overall as directive upon government to assure it stays within Constitutional enumerated, and not general, powers. Police powers were not granted to the national government by the Constitution, as one example.

This leads to the paramount importance of attaining the original understanding of Our Founders and the Founding Generation. We are so far removed from what they went through that we do not understand these were a people who left heart-wrenching oppression. This oppression is best described by an officer's record from the time and published in Discipline & Punish by Michel Foucault at pages 3-6. The setting is March 1757 Feudal Europe, and I quote in part to help engender how heart-wrenching it was to be a subject of Feudal Government:

“After two or three attempts, the executioner Samson and he who had used the pincers each drew out a knife from his pocket and cut the body at the thighs instead of severing the legs at the joints; the four horses gave a tug and carried off the two thighs after them, namely, that of the right side first, the other following; then the same was done to the arms, the shoulders, the arm-pits and the four limbs; the flesh had to be cut almost to the bone, the horses pulling hard carried off the right arm first and the other afterwards.

“When the four limbs had been pulled away, the confessors came to speak with him; but his executioner told them that he was dead, though the truth was that I saw the man move, his lower jaw moving from side to side as if he were talking. One of the executioners even said shortly afterwards that when they had lifted the trunk to throw it on the stake, he was still alive. The four limbs were untied from the ropes and thrown on the stake set up in the enclosure in line with the scaffold, then the trunk and the rest were covered with logs and faggots, and fire was put to the straw mixed with the wood.....

“....In accordance with the decree, the whole was reduced to ashes. The last piece to be found in the embers was still burning at half past ten in the evening. The pieces of flesh and the trunk had taken about four hours to burn. The officers of whom I was one, as also was my son, and a detachment of archers remained in the square until nearly eleven o'clock.”-- Discipline and Punish, Ibid.

It is a fact that those people who left this type of subjection, meaning Our Founders and the Founding Generation, were rightly paranoid to protect their Individual Liberty. Their documents left for us, the unanimous Declaration of Independence, Constitution for the United States of America, and Bill of Rights, were not intended for micro meaning redefinition, but were intended for the macro purpose of defining that the People are over government, that this is our Divine Right according to Our Creator who endowed us with Unalienable Rights, that we in turn institute government to protect those rights, meaning most specifically: To assure the People are never treated as chattel property.

The government violations of our Constitution as set forth above may seem trivial in comparison to the ways of Feudal Europe in the 1750s. Yet it is the willing usurpation of Our Written Constitution that is the telltale signs that government, and those in it, have decided they no longer are the servant of, but the Master over, us.

Note the new FCC regulation of “net neutrality” that only helps generate an unspoken fear, rendering We The People with a new uncertainty of government exceeding its limit to interfere in our free speech and communications, to which government will then claim dominion when we assert public use, theirs a persistent abuse of “regular” as the means of “control,” while not giving a damn that we're unsure who we might offend in government.

Over and over from the Obama Administration and the Progressive Democrat Party there is the clear and unambiguous sign of government coming to conclude in perfect elitist fashion, and by the repeated cycle of all the various “welfare” programs, that We The People are to be treated as chattel property. We've heard it as a sort of joke now and then, on the assumption “it can never happen in America,” yet the continued allowance of expanding programs that only encourage dependency on government testify to an overt and abusive government that acts in abrogation of our consent, that government is pursuing to place us in subject servitude, in slavery, to government through this dependency.

In law it is the right and duty of a slave to escape their Master, a right and duty we seem to have ignored that those in government would pursue as our slave. We failed to understand that government will not fix and take care of itself in accordance with their role as servant to the Will of The People. Instead government has pursued, since the first 12 Amendments, to do all it can to destroy the Constitution, and using every ploy possible to redefine a document that by its own terms is directive language of a people to the government they institute, to now be construed as some sort of always arguable grantor of rights to the people. It is this multiplicitous understanding of the Constitution that protects Progressive activity in our government and allows it to continue, irrespective of undermining Individual Liberty, as that is the only net result of usurpation of Our Written Constitution.

P.S. Also please look at these articles regarding the healthcare “non-law” status, an abuse of process that occurred due to one party majority violating Our Written Constitution and subjecting us to Omnipotent British Democracy style government, instead of the Written Constitutional Republic intended, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.94, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.66, and http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.131.

A common curiosity, of the Tea Party and others, seems to be, “Why did this liberal Sheriff, Dupnik of Pima County, infuse his opinion of the psychology and motive of Loughner into a case when they have no evidence to support the opinion?” This question answers itself: Liberalism.

Liberalism is a stepping stone that, once hi-jacked by Progressivism, became a means to an end.

Classical liberalism is intended to aid in the emancipation of man. This emancipation is from an order of government over mankind that existed long before America: feudalism. Feudalism is rule by patronage and force, by intimidation and punishment, risk of life and limb, trial by ordeal, and public spectacle being applied to the governed as a demonstration of the means of order. Feudalism is an ancient model, no greater than a tribe and its elders, irrespective of race or being considered “civilization.”

The economic engine of feudalism is slavery through caste, a persistent caste for 95% of the population. This is how order was viewed, and maintained as mentioned above, all done in the name of God but without the inspiration of Christ and the Holy Spirit.

The Age of Enlightenment, in its purest form starting with the Renaissance, is where the epiphany of man's sentience begins. That every individual is sentient is true, along with the fact that this truth is a threat of disorder, a threat of “chaos,” to those who claim to have “ordered society”—those who made
society dependent upon them.

Liberalism is the means of stepping out of the ashes of our feudal past, spawned in America, and meant to achieve this goal worldwide. This is an initial phase of one attaining the knowledge and capacity for self-government. Those who were most dependent, or came from families whose history is feudal dependency, need this initial step to learn the importance of their Individual Liberty. Others would show the vast capabilities to produce and be self-sustaining at their fingertips, at their will without needing to ask anyone's permission. This was done to demonstrate the meaning of Freedom, however, often the dependent persist in their belief they must ask permission of someone. Christ takes on His rightful place through becoming the one that people are directed to. Yet, to these dependent ones, this means they must ask the church, must get permission from the church, never realizing each Individual is a Temple not made with hands.

Thus the source of Sheriff Dupnik's erroneous and baseless statements is Liberalism, where the assumption is made that “everyone else is dependent since I am,” because their entire reality and life experience is a life of dependency. This dependency is why the Progressive, a radical that takes on the Liberal cause as an end to justify the means, will argue ad infinitum that there is never any cost to Liberalism and only benefit. Yet, at the same time, Progressives, use charisma, force, and intimidation to get others to relinquish their Individual Liberty for the sake of the Liberal cause in their building a collective dependency coalition dependent upon them—better known as “patronage.” Of course the Progressive also claims the sole and exclusive authority to arrive at logical conclusions, and attacks anything to the contrary. This is the aggression of the radical tapping into the remnants of those feudal orders of rule mentioned above, and which easily reclaims the dependent in society as their minion.

This dependency assumption is necessary for the entire collective socialist, and actually tribal, government structure. And it is must be assumed by them in order to promote it. Sheriff Dupnik is a perfect example of this promotion of an assumed dependency.

In reason, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, where reason is lacking, the entire idea of cause and effect is lost. Yet, for those with an agenda, this time period when people are looking for answers to a tragedy and are vulnerable, is the perfect time to wrap their mind around dependency, and the lesson being taught is two-fold.

First, there is the hope of acceptance of Loughner’s dependency on input that opposes the Liberal agenda agenda, as this sends the anti-message that “Liberalism is against dependency.”

Second, is the reverse, the backside of that accepted position: “Those who accept a baseless assertion demonstrate an unthinking dependence on opinions outside of themselves as how they shape their reality, and, are therefore, easily led.”

I say dependency because this willingness to accept the opinion of an authority as “official,” without considering its content or the ability to prove what is said, is also a source of power for the Progressive. Once dependency is exploited, and any perceived benefit is observed, those beneficiaries become loyal, dedicated, and even militant in their actions to exploit others, to “spread the wealth around.”

Cold, cruel, callous, and abusive, most certainly Liberalism is. Yet, it is the way of Liberalism that has long since outlived its usefulness as the vast amount of the population has been well aided in their emancipation, most well aware of discipline and self-government, naturally recognizing their unalienable right to do so.

Progressivism wants to interfere and halt this natural process by a persistent series of agencies to interrupt the free action of the individual over their lifetime. This constant taking from the emancipated, who were slaves under feudalism, and reinstatement of dependence by the dynamic of permission from someone else, is purposefully being done after the peoples' exposure to information and their opportunity to exercise sentience. The pursuing and continuing control of the people asserted in this manner is being done to perfectly mock Individual Liberty, hoping to demoralize to the point of re-establishment of the feudal caste structure. Progressives long for the return of the day when government is over man entirely, the return to slavery. To the Progressive “liberty” is merely something to be leveraged, a resource to be bargained until exhausted, and nothing more.

As long as the basis for reason, and action on what is reasonable, derive conclusion by invocation of “what's the bottom line” in the form of a logic question, which is actually an accounting question of the expense involved, Liberalism and dependency will stay with us, as this misuse of reason demonstrates a lack of sentience, a lack of the capacity of self-government—irresponsibility regarding the price of Liberty in relation to dependency.

Litanous Littman – “Pay All Your Attention To
The Impeached President Behind The Microphone.”

Anyone think this was a Hillary Clinton “Oh Brother” moment?

But the man who we were told would be prosecuted after he left office, Former President William Jefferson Clinton, stood behind the mics once more at the behest of Barack Obama. I didn't say “President Barack Obama” because this was so he could get in some more unofficial time, personal time, with the family, and apparently was due to our illustrious leader being called by his wife—A Cleopatra & Mark Antony moment.

What an irony! A President who puts his wife before his office and chance to speak to the American People standing right next to a Former President who put his intern's need to do something to him, of which he testified no enjoyment, while arguing the meaning of the word “is,” before his wife Hillary Clinton and the United States of America, and was rightfully impeached for it as there are correlative dates and times of this “intern-al” activity to when he was in delicate decision-making discussions while on the phone with members of Congress or the Senate....I guess President Clinton felt he was truly thinking with a clear head....

But I clearly digress, it's a rather fascinating affair, to have all this talk of political deals to assure taxes don't go up while millions are unemployed and don't care, and all happening because those whose pretense of leading our government, just as clearly, lack any knowledge of the difference between public and private.

I illustrated well why tax cuts for the wealthy are a good $7 to $35 trillion 10 year economic expansion—a good thing—and not by my own reckoning, but by the mechanics of the little studied, and thereby assumed mysterious, Federal Reserve System. The following linked article features the tables from a book called Focus On The Bank Director by The American Bankers Association, that is detailing the net effect of the mechanics of the Federal Reserve System, and how the withheld reserve amount works as well, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.101.

And I bring this to your attention because it would seem Jim McDermott and a number of democrats are willing to lie to you no less than President Clinton's Famous lie:

I'd discuss Ron Brown, Vince Foster, and Whitewater, which remain unresolved due to the feigned care about these things by Progressive detractors such as Alex Jones, but that would be to digress once more.

Suffice to say that after looking at just the summary table of these that delineates the net effect of the Federal Reserve System, one can get a picture of what's possible when the government gets the hell out of the way, both in taxation and financial regulation:

Applying some simple mathematics using the numbers in the table, demonstrates that the economic activity of borrowing and lending generates more economic activity and reason to borrow and lend, to the extent of 10 times the value of the original deposit, while the sum of the reserve withheld at each deposit recapitalizes the original deposit. This means your deposit doesn't have to stay in the bank to be lent and keep all contracts true going forward, and will be re-capitalized when the regional federal reserve bank consolidates the reserve holdings from each of the member banks.

Where this gets tricky for people is lowering the reserve percentage.

At a 2% reserve, the multiplier is much higher, 50 times the amount of each deposit until there is nothing to lend, which takes longer, some 200+ transactions between banks and borrowers. The lower reserve amount is riskier than the 10% amount due to the number of transactions necessary to have full reserve for the original deposit. The 10% is much easier as it only takes 96 transactions.

It is important to now how this may also explain why banks used to ask for 25% down for you to borrow money to buy a home. The 25% was deposited, and generated the credit to loan to you 30 days later when escrow closes, and this would mean they didn't have to use their bank depositor's money to generate the credit.

Note that the only “government,” and therefore public, part of the Federal Reserve Mechanism is that it was made statute by the Federal Reserve Act, which brought about a National Standard of Operation.

The rest of the activity of borrowing and lending in these charts is purely private activity of individuals and businesses pursuing their dreams and aspirations, and demonstrates unequivocally that this activity is the economic engine of our nation.

As to why Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington State, along with the 50 democrats, whose position he is speaking for, are the William Jefferson Clintons of 2010. Mr. McDermott stated today, December 11th, 2010 on FoxNews, “If you have 5 million dollars, you don't need anymore, and you just let it sit in the bank. It isn't spent and doesn't create any jobs.”

As you can see based on the effect of a deposit of $10,000 in the bank, that Mr. McDermott is either entirely naïve of the banking system, which I will not say is not true, as I do not know him personally, or, that Mr. McDermott, is pulling another “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” and just not telling you the truth. The graphics above are how the system works, the mechanism of capital and its essential value to a thriving American Economy, and they help illustrate how it is the lack of lending that is killing our economy and continues due to either the Federal Government's continued incompetence in naiveté, or, need to lie to you about a system that makes the Federal Government's Treasury full regularly, and I'll state I am 99.9% certain that every Senator, Congressperson, and President who has served at least 1 year in their political office is well aware of this because it is a statutory portion of the Federal Reserve Act, amended annually at Title 12, 289 (b) subsections, 1, 2, & 3, viewable here, http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode12/usc_sec_12_00000289----000-.html:

During fiscal year 2000, no Federal reserve bank may replenish such bank’s surplus fund by the amount of any transfer by such bank under paragraph (1).”

Now it's more than obvious that when something is codified from statute with an exact dollar amount that this particular was reviewed, audited, discussed, etc. at length, particularly when the government is sticking its hands in someone's pocket.

And this gives you ample reason to believe the 50 democrats against this tax proposal that includes extending the Bush Tax Cuts, “for the wealthy” and arguing, as Mr. McDermott did, regarding the value of the wealthy's money “in a bank creates no jobs,” is an unequivocal bald-faced lie.

Thus the hysterical irony that President Obama had President Clinton handle questions for a ½ hour, the lying, cheating thieves needing their most honorable bald-faced liar, who got away with being impeached and nothing else, to stand before the podium in the stead of the Commander-in-Thief of the day.

I am not necessarily for whatever bill regarding the Bush Tax Cuts is about to come up, for I hear there's some 900 billion in new spending being attached. But, to allow these people to lie to our faces and get away with it, mostly due to those of us regular Americans who could see these things if not for being divided by Federal Reserve Conspiracy theories to be of any good, causes me to, of necessity, point out exactly how appropriate it is to have the Lord of Lords of Liars as a 30 minute stand-in for Barack Obama of Kenya.

Often people mention George Bush 41's “Read my lips moment,” and I tend to believe it's more of a Bill Clinton “I did not have sexual relations” moment that these outright liars are having, remember he's truly convinced he did not have sexual relations due to what “the meaning of the word 'is' is.”

Let's hope the republican House takes on this tax issue as straight shooters in January, as that's going to be the first chance to deal with this issue in a clear, complete, and unambiguous manner as our fiscally conservative Tea Party block achieves its opportunity to assert the Will Of The People instead of the political parties, their elites, and the consortium of collectivist wealth accumulations and their activist lobbies who are dead-set on destroying individual liberty and the United States of America.


Thank you for reading this Litanous Littman Rant,


Toddy Littman

This may seem out there,‭ ‬but,‭ ‬in light of the President’s continued pretentiousness regarding the economy--pretentious in that his actions have had little to do with the economy and more to do with‭ “‬regulation‭” (‬in the idea of‭ “‬control‭” ‬versus‭ “‬making regular‭”)‬--there is a clarity to reviewing the documents filed in the case he took when working with ACORN‭ (‬http://tinyurl.com/259rgpd‭)‬.

Let’s start with this wonderful statement that would lead you to believe President Obama actually had an idea of what is important to Americans,‭ ‬made on‭ ‬January‭ ‬1,‭ ‬2009‭ ‬at George Mason University to promote his Trillion Dollar stimulus‭ (‬See Litanous Littman I,‭ ‬http://www.projectshiningcity.org/fp567.php‭)‬:

‭“‬We start‭ ‬2009‭ ‬in the midst of a crisis unlike any we have seen in our lifetime‭ – ‬a crisis that has only deepened over the last few weeks.‭ ‬Nearly two million jobs have now been lost,‭ ‬and on Friday we are likely to learn that we lost more jobs last year than at any time since World War II.‭ ‬Just in the past year,‭ ‬another‭ ‬2.8‭ ‬million Americans who want and need full-time work have had to settle for part-time jobs.‭ ‬Manufacturing has hit a twenty-eight year low.‭ ‬Many businesses cannot borrow or make payroll.‭ ‬Many families cannot pay their bills or their mortgage.‭ ‬Many workers are watching their life savings disappear.‭ ‬And many,‭ ‬many Americans are both anxious and uncertain of what the future will hold.

‭“‬I don't believe it's too late to change course,‭ ‬but it will be if we don't take dramatic action as soon as possible.‭ ‬If nothing is done,‭ ‬this recession could linger for years.‭ ‬The unemployment rate could reach double digits.‭ ‬Our economy could fall‭ ‬$1‭ ‬trillion short of its full capacity,‭ ‬which translates into more than‭ ‬$12,000‭ ‬in lost income for a family of four.‭ ‬We could lose a generation of potential and promise,‭ ‬as more young Americans are forced to forgo dreams of college or the chance to train for the jobs of the future.‭ ‬And our nation could lose the competitive edge that has served as a foundation for our strength and standing in the world.

‭“‬In short,‭ ‬a bad situation could become dramatically worse.

‭“‬This crisis did not happen solely by some accident of history or normal turn of the business cycle,‭ ‬and we won't get out of it by simply waiting for a better day to come,‭ ‬or relying on the worn-out dogmas of the past.‭ ‬We arrived at this point due to an era of profound irresponsibility that stretched from corporate boardrooms to the halls of power in Washington,‭ ‬DC.‭ ‬For years,‭ ‬too many Wall Street executives made imprudent and dangerous decisions,‭ ‬seeking profits with too little regard for risk,‭ ‬too little regulatory scrutiny,‭ ‬and too little accountability.‭ ‬Banks made loans without concern for whether borrowers could repay them,‭ ‬and some borrowers took advantage of cheap credit to take on debt they couldn't afford.‭ ‬Politicians spent taxpayer money without wisdom or discipline,‭ ‬and too often focused on scoring political points instead of the problems they were sent here to solve.‭ ‬The result has been a devastating loss of trust and confidence in our economy,‭ ‬our financial markets,‭ ‬and our government.‭”‬--Transcript is linked at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/08/national/main4706778.shtml

Wow,‭ ‬so appealing to‭ ‬what we all want to blame,‭ ‬the villainous banks,‭ ‬isn’t it.

Now let’s read directly from the settlement agreement document of‭ ‬1998,‭ ‬the case Obama took as a Lawyer for ACORN,‭ ‬known as‭ ‬BUYCKS-ROBERSON v CITIBANK,‭ ‬filed in‭ ‬1994,‭ ‬in particular the express agreement portion,‭ ‬at page‭ ‬8,‭ ‬paragraph‭ ‬33,‭ ‬all emphasis mine:

‭“‬33.‭ ‬Settlement Terms.‭ ‬Subject to and conditional upon the entry of Final Approval
and Final Judgment approving this Settlement Agreement,‭ ‬Citibank agrees to the following:
‭“‬A.‭ ‬Non-Monetary Benefits for All Settlement Class Members.
‭(‬i‭) ‬Lending Consortium.‭ ‬Citibank will undertake efforts to organize a lending consortium‭ ‬consisting of Citibank and several other lenders in the Chicagoland area to assist low to‭ ‬moderate income loan applicants in obtaining mortgages.‭ ‬The program will be modeled after existing programs in other cities and will stay in effect for two years following the
date of the consortium's establislnnent‭ [‬as per original,‭ ‬likely‭ “‬establishment‭”]‬.

‭“‬The goal of the consortium will be to establish a review process whereby low to‭ ‬moderate income denied mortgage loan applicants‭ (‬as defined,‭ ‬infra,‭ ‬at‭ ‬P.‭ ‬10‭) ‬of a participating lender‭ ‬may be eligible to have their declined loan applications reviewed by
a loan committee established by the consortium.‭ ‬The loan committee would then‭ ‬reevaluate their loan application to determine if any of the other lending institutions participating in the consortium could approve the loan request under their particular loan policies and programs.‭ ‬Lending institutions participating in the consortium would not be
obligated by any terms previously quoted by the originating institution.

‭“‬If‭ ‬such a consortium is formed,‭ ‬eligible declined applicants would be provided with a brochure or other form of notice along with the adverse action letter advising them of the consortium and that they may be able to have their loan request reviewed by the consortium's loan committee to request a new evaluation of their mortgage application for potential‭' ‬fmancing‭ [‬as per original,‭ ‬likely‭ “‬financing‭”] ‬by one of the other lenders participating in the consortium.‭  ‬The loan committee would meet on a regular basis to review denied applications that were forwarded to the committee by eligible loan applicants.

‭“‬To be eligible to appeal to the committee,‭ ‬the following criteria‭ (‬or such other criteria as agreed to by the consortium members‭) ‬would have to be met:

‭“(‬a‭) ‬the applicant must have applied for either a purchase or refinance mortgage loan of a one or two unit owner occupied residence‭;

“(b‭) ‬the applicant intends to be a primary resident of the property for which financing is sought‭;

“(c‭) ‬the location of the property to be financed must be in the Illinois counties of either Cook,‭ ‬Lake,‭ ‬DuPage or McHenry‭;

“(d‭) ‬the amount of the loan applied for must not exceed the maximum amount‭ ‬permitted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under their conforming loan programs‭;

“(e‭) ‬the combined household income‭ ‬must not exceed‭ ‬80%‭ ‬of the median‭ ‬income for the county in which the applicant resides‭ (‬i.e.,‭ ‬the low to‭ ‬moderate income range‭)‬; and

‭“(‬f‭) ‬the lending institution that denied the applicant's loan request must be a‭ ‬participating member in the consortium.‭”‬--http://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-IL-0011-0008.pdf

A key line above is‭ “‬Lending institutions participating in the consortium‭ ‬would not be
obligated by any terms previously quoted by the originating institution.‭”

It is this very exemption that provides for the financial‭ “‬derivative-like‭” ‬instrument,‭ “‬Mortgage Backed Security,‭” ‬a legal‭ “‬vehicle‭” ‬constructed of words,‭ ‬and means of repackaging a loan as another type of bank asset,‭ ‬usually some form of legal fiction,‭ ‬to be sold to someone else.‭ 

The MBS derives from the Jimmy Carter Community Reinvestment Act, which requires that banks make loans to someone who cannot pay the money back if the borrower meets the government’s criteria‭ (‬so that Fannie and Freddie would buy the loan at a discount‭)‬.  Of course Obama has to couch this as the bank’s fault,‭ “‬For years,‭ ‬too many Wall Street executives made imprudent and dangerous decisions,‭ ‬seeking profits with too little regard for risk,‭ ‬too little regulatory scrutiny,‭ ‬and too little accountability.‭”

Apparently Mr.‭ ‬Obama loathes the idea of a bank making a profit,‭ ‬that there is a banking community at all,‭ ‬and how most of that profit goes back into re-investment in the bank when profits are high‭ (‬3-5%‭)‬.‭  ‬Instead banks are to lose money on the loan,‭ ‬have less capital to lend,‭ ‬less to invest,‭ ‬and carry on lending in accordance solely with the government’s lending criteria,‭ ‬which criteria assures the bank is to lose money on every loan.‭ 

Hopefully this explains the reason the Federal Reserve System is an autonomous agency separate from government,‭ ‬as the people of this country do not need Congress and the United States Treasury as their bank and banker.‭  ‬Yet,‭ ‬as you can see by the CRA,‭ ‬the government wishes to control the economy all the way down to the individual level,‭ ‬to claim this as public property,‭ ‬and not caring about the unintended consequence of liquidating private property rights‭ (‬...Or maybe this is intended‭?)‬.

In any event,‭ ‬it is this court case filed on the grounds of the plaintiff being denied Civil Rights based on their‭ “‬race‭” (‬filed in‭ ‬1994‭) ‬and many other cases at other times,‭ ‬that helped fuel the idea of this practice of low-income lending with a facility created by an organized group of banks,‭ ‬to spur a private,‭ ‬secondary market of financial obligations‭ ‬known as the MBS,‭ ‬with an estimated value of up to‭ ‬600‭ ‬trillion dollars in what are now considered‭ “‬toxic assets.‭”

This is a perfect demonstration of the fact that the financial crisis occurred because of government forcing banks to lend money that can’t be paid back,‭ ‬knowing full well that this is not in the best interest of the bank,‭ ‬those who save money in that bank,‭ ‬or its investors,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬all in the interest of‭ “‬Civil Rights,‭” ‬those statutory rights created by government and that they’ll recognize under law‭ (‬not to be confused with unalienable rights from God‭)‬.‭  ‬The complaint explains that this case brought on the terms of Civil Rights and race per paragraph‭ ‬1‭ ‬below:

‭“‬NATURE OF THE ACTION
1.‭  ‬This is a civil action brought by Selma S.‭ ‬Buycks-Roberson,‭ ‬formerly known as Selma S.‭ ‬BUYCKS,‭ ‬on behalf of herself and all other African-Americans who made home loan‭ ‬applications‭'‬ to CITIBANK,‭ ‬and whose applications were rejected because of their race or color,‭ ‬or because of the racial composition of the neighborhood in which their property was located.‭ ‬This action seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages for violations of‭ ‬42‭ ‬U.S.C.‭ ‬§§ 1981‭ ‬and‭ ‬1982‭; ‬42‭ ‬U.S.C.‭ ‬§ 3605‭ ‬and‭ ‬15‭ ‬U.S.C.‭ ‬§ 1691‭(‬a‭)‬.‭”‬--http://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-IL-0011-0001.pdf

Notice no mention of financial hardship‭?  ‬Interesting how the government remedy,‭ ‬by Carter’s CRA,‭ ‬and resulting in the settlement in this case,‭ ‬is‭ ‬redistribution of wealth from the banks,‭ ‬a redistribution of your wealth as a saver,‭ ‬investor,‭ ‬or a taxpayer covering the cost of bailouts.

I say to you in an affirmative and obvious‭ “‬Of course‭” ‬that this government mandate will force banks to find other means of recouping the money from these loans,‭ ‬and maybe make a meager profit through using the mortgage backed security as a financial instrument.‭  ‬Any bank’s management would be absolutely irresponsible in their commitments to bank customers,‭ ‬stockholders,‭ ‬and government if they do not find a way to collect some of the money lent out and minimize losses mandated by the government.‭  ‬The banks and their lawyers were ingenious to take a loan the government legally requires them to issue,‭ ‬but that is deficient or won’t be paid back by the person it was lent to and was also sold at a discount,‭ ‬and re-package it legally as another financial asset to then re-sell it to someone else for an entirely different purpose.‭  ‬This supplements the loss for selling the loan to Fannie and Freddie.

Government,‭ ‬through the courts or regulatory schemes,‭ ‬often forces private industry to be creative,‭ ‬inventive,‭ ‬and ingenious,‭ ‬in this way--and of course this is all consistent with the Progressive agenda to destroy the very simplicity of private industry,‭ ‬creativity according to one’s own ambition--destroying the very simplicity by which one can gain success.

For instance,‭ ‬instead of the bank investing in other aspects of banking,‭ ‬such as better customer service for credit card holders,‭ ‬or more free flights,‭ ‬etc.,‭ ‬the bank is busy lining another lawyer’s pocket to find a way to use some government regulation to the advantage of the bank,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬pass that cost on to government,‭ ‬that our irresponsible government passes on to us.‭  ‬It makes sense the banks want to use the regulation to their advantage and stick it to the very government that forced them into this‭ ‬mess,‭ ‬doesn’t it.

Government of course reacts perfectly according to the Oppressive Progressive model,‭ ‬and We The People end up financing the entire mess,‭ ‬particularly when reviewed with the Progressive agenda of central power consolidation,‭ ‬implementing socialism,‭ ‬and destroying individual liberty in mind.

This is a perversion of our legal system by presenting or couching a cause of action in the bogus robes of‭ “‬social justice‭” ‬and‭ “‬economic justice,‭” ‬as Civil Rights was never intended as a mechanism to reshape the nation’s economic policy.‭  ‬Instead Civil Rights were intended as a means to punish those who stubbornly refuse to treat all Americans equally.‭  ‬Statutory Civil Rights are a minimal guide,‭ ‬a benchmark.‭  ‬Statutory rights,‭ ‬as a legal institution,‭ ‬are the most minimal of rights one can have.

However,‭ ‬to file a lawsuit on the basis of Civil Rights,‭ ‬without actually reaching a trial,‭ ‬only to have a settlement that reaches no conclusions regarding Civil Rights or any of the allegations,‭ ‬and in particular not addressing the racial allegations of the plaintiff,‭ ‬nor require the defendant to admit guilt of anything,‭ ‬is‭ ‬a frivolous lawsuit intended to abuse the court’s authority and enforcement power as a leverage against the bank’s concern for legal risks to force the bank into carrying out much more complicated and complex operations of even greater risk in amounts that cannot be absorbed.‭  ‬This mechanism,‭ ‬again,‭ ‬created by government regulation,‭ ‬is also then available for abuse,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬with government’s blessing.‭  ‬Can you see how this Progressive‭ ‬Agenda Obama,‭ ‬Progressive Community Organizer Obama,‭ ‬and Progressive Lawyer Obama,‭ ‬according to his record by his acts and deeds in every station since his adulthood,‭ ‬is a documentary account of a radical Progressive who will do whatever it takes to force America into being the nation Saul‭ ‬Alinsky envisioned even before becoming President Obama‭?

Barack Hussein Obama was clearly an ideologue long before running for any elected office according to his acts,‭ ‬deeds and associations,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬of course,‭ ‬as with most members in‭ ‬Congress,‭ ‬being a lawyer.

More than‭ ‬90%‭ ‬of the members of Congress are lawyers.‭  ‬To me there appears to be a too close for comfort relationship of lawyer-to-politician and politician-to-legislator,‭ ‬to which being an ideologue is even more detrimental for the nation.‭  ‬I mean,‭ ‬it is as though We The People have an affinity for having members of a certain union or guild,‭ ‬in this case the BAR Association,‭ ‬to be those who draw up legislation,‭ ‬when,‭ ‬there is no such necessity or affinity,‭ ‬these BAR candidates just happen to be professionally trained to argue,‭ ‬persuade,‭ ‬and convince,‭ ‬they are experts at campaign rhetoric.‭  ‬We just got duped,‭ ‬as they mask their ideologue from public view.

Thus for me it is most refreshing to see that in November we are going to put an end to our abuse at the hands of a guild,‭ ‬the BAR,‭ ‬a guild that would even accept,‭ ‬support,‭ ‬and encourage those of Barack Obama’s character to become successful in the political machinery.‭  ‬I mean,‭ ‬we can never forget that convicted Tony Rezko,‭ ‬born in Syria,‭ ‬and who was a fundraiser for the Daley Machine,‭ ‬was also Obama’s client.

This article will likely challenge your knowledge and conventional wisdom of the Federal Reserve, a system that is in place primarily for the purpose of undermining State’s Rights to create their own currency, and why this institution is regularly blamed for controlling the economy.

This is more of a technical discussion initially. All tables presented are derived for the most part from Focus On The Bank Director a continuing education publication put out by the American Bankers Association, and my copy is copyright 1984. The mechanism described here has been in place across the nation since around 1917 and remains in place today as it is the basic mechanism of the Federal Reserve System.

Have you ever considered how the way the Federal Reserve System creates currency, how its reserves effect “elasticity,” and finally how the profits are distributed according to statute.

Depositors are the key to any bank. Deposits are recorded both as an asset and an liability. An asset for them to be able to manage the funds while also a liability as the amount deposited is owed back to the depositor (thus the need for a reserve, see below).

When one makes a deposit the following mechanism is applied to use the deposit to meet the needs of those in the community who need loans. The most important element to this system is the re-deposit of the funds lent.

The following table illustrates how the funds are handled in this mechanical using a 10% reserve requirement:

[Source website disappeared, please see, first 5 pages of book Focus on the Bank Director by American Bankers Association, guide to being a Bank Director explaining monetary mechanics of the Federal Reserve System.]



As you can see above that while the deposit are being made from bank to bank they keep accumulating a reserve. This goes on until there is nothing left to lend, which, happens to be the very exact point at which the reserves equal the amount of the initial deposit:

Now for $10,000 with a 10% reserve the amount available to loan equals 0 at around bank number 100. The amount of the reserve is key to regulating the expansion effect, compare the following first 10 banks at 2% reserve to the 10% reserve:

[Ibid.]




A very small reserve amount generated, and a much larger total of expansion:

[Ibid.]



And this total, the point of the lendable amount equaling 0, occurs around bank number 491.

So understand that if you make total deposits of $50,000 a year you are generating at least $500,000 for your community, and the reserves replace your deposited amount should you need to withdraw it for any reason. Consider that at a 2% reserve rate you are generating around $2.5 million for your community.

Now the Federal Government isn’t able to claim this effect. When they have money it is treasury accounts, not on deposit, but as a separate and segregated amount that cannot be lent out as it is already appropriated for a governmental purpose.

This means that Obama and the democrats are choosing to violate the 14th Amendment to assure a particular minority, based on the idea of their income, is prejudiced against, and thus not subject to “equal protection of the law.” Enacting any extention of the Bush Tax Cuts that excludes anyone is to treat those individuals different than the rest of the people. These tax cuts, should be applied to all Americans if government is acting within its primary authority to protect the smallest minority, the individual, which the national government assumed as their duty according to the 14th Amendment.

Thus in intentionally violating Our Written Constitution the nation is subjected to our economy being denied an opportunity to growth at least $7 trillion over the next 10 years, even if the money just sits in a bank. And should the economy pick up over the next 10 years, to where the demand for our currency is so great that the reserver requirements are low, we are being denied a potential growth of $35 trillion.

I suggest the government make a schedule to assure that charity is granted to those making minimum wage+10% so they have no income tax at all, while, the remainder is scaled down to a standard tax rate of 10%, to which the government must become accustomed to running itself with such a modest amount.

Imagine if you could have another 10% of the money you earned if even only just to save it for a rainy day, or a recession. That alone would create a greater availability of credit throughout the banking system.

Please take note that banks sitting on money right now have “toxic assets” they can finally depreciate over time, but to do that, they need to have enough in the vault to justify the offset in accounting, thereafter the amount can be reinvested it in the institution. This process will likely take 5 years for them to do.

Thus you can see our illustrious Commander-In-Thief assuring the demise of America by excluding a minority of people, and their economic impact, from renewal of the Bush Tax Cuts. Any legislation proposing to renew these tax cuts for “95% of Americans” lacks the neutrality required to be legitimate right on its face.

Republicans may not want to oppose this because it is bad politically, however, sacrificing the Constitution, and continuing the current government line of reason that it’s okay to trespass on individual liberty, is not a trade-off in the best interest of our country. We The People of the United States of America, who every day want to be better off than we were the day before, than the generation before, even should that lead to us being “rich,” would like to be certain the government is not getting us comfortable with them being our silent partner to gain an ever increasing benefit to the point it is greater than our own. I mean we work for ourselves and not the government. I personally don’t mind them getting something to assure security of the individual liberty of each of us along with the the security of our nation as these go hand in hand, but, a “progressive” and escalating tax amount, to where I am penalized for being more successful, is an act to oppress the industrious.

Note that I am not for the Federal Reserve Act as it is an act of atrocity against States’ Rights. However I admire the mechanics of the Federal Reserve System and wish this had been done using each State’s currency so as to assure a truly “Federal” reserve system, instead of another act of the National Government to liquidate another of State’s Rights with their agreement to do so.

And finally to the distribution of profits of the Federal Reserve is Title 12, Section 289 (b) (1), emphasis mine:

“(b)  1 Transfer for fiscal year 2000
(1) In general
The Federal reserve banks shall transfer from the surplus funds of such banks to
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for transfer to the Secretary
of the Treasury for deposit in the general fund of the Treasury, a total amount of
$3,752,000000 in fiscal year 2000.”--http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode12/usc_sec_12_00000289----000-.html

Congress Amends this section of the law every year to then transfer the profits of the Federal Reserve to the United States Treasury. The above section translates that the money borrowed costs us nothing, as the interest is the profit of the system, that goes right back into the United States Treasury that borrowed it.

When you consider the fact of healthcare’s underwhelming support http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3590/show by the people of this nation.‭ ‬There is a certain appreciation for the fact that the‭ ‬125‭ ‬Congresspersons,‭ ‬who claim that nationalizing healthcare will save money,‭ ‬represent around‭ ‬30%‭ ‬of the‭ ‬435‭ ‬members of the House.‭ ‬It is good to know just how many members of the House we need to remove this November for their lacking knowledge of and appreciation for the American Republic.

These Congresspersons would have to lack any knowledge of the meaning and creation of America’s government as a limited body intended to effectuate the will of the People.

They have no knowledge that their office,‭ ‬and the powers they have in such office,‭ ‬are entirely created through the Constitution which the People intentionally designed to limit the government to‭ “‬just powers‭” ‬according to the Declaration of‭ ‬Independence,‭ ‬knowing that unlimited government only leads to a government of tyranny to which the people are enslaved.‭ ‬Sustenance becomes the art of patronage and power instead of merely earning a living through sought after work.

Of course government,‭ ‬in the interest of growing government,‭ ‬and the necessity thereby to undermine private property ownership,‭ ‬interprets the General Welfare Clause,‭ ‬as identical to the Progressive meaning and intention of today’s welfare programs,‭ ‬while also interpreting the Commerce Clause as the means to afford destroying every incentive to those who create and produce.‭ ‬Progressivism purposefully does this in exchange only for the‭ ‬ever-growing body of people subject to additional misapplication of the General Welfare Clause in‭ “‬relief,‭” ‬and growth of government thereby.

Progressivism has‭ ‬once more,‭ ‬since The Great Depression,‭ ‬proudly reclaimed the ability to be the exclusive cause of a mass demoralization of We The People,‭ ‬as Progressivism carries on to‭ “‬eat out their substance‭” ‬while the people relinquish their Sovereignty to the same government the Progressives claim a majority of,‭ ‬a majority in the meaning of Great Britain’s House of Commons omnipotence,‭ ‬purposefully confusing the American‭ ‬form of democracy with the British‭ ‬type of democracy.

These are the very designs we endured at our nation’s founding,‭ ‬where the House of Commons and the King of England,‭ ‬in laying claim to this new land,‭ ‬saw each other with the opportunity to tax us to the point of dependence upon them for our every need,‭ ‬irrespective of the benefits of such dependence diminishing further and further,‭ ‬as the treasury had little to gain in such expenditure.‭ ‬This is the current grip of Totalitarian Progressivism upon America and We The People as the Progressive patronage machine takes full control of every facet of our lives,‭ ‬violates the first order and purpose of our founding this government to protect our unalienable right to‭ “‬Life,‭” ‬to freedom of choice and the right to be left alone because we have these rights from God,‭ ‬not given by government, or the lack of government‭ pursuit‬ to control these things, as though some sort of ‭“‬default rights‭”‬ due to a lack of government.‭

Please understand‭ “‬unalienable‭” ‬rights means they cannot be liened,‭ ‬cannot be wagered,‭ ‬bargained or otherwise,‭ ‬placed in jeopardy,‭ ‬either by government or We The People ourselves,‭ ‬who God gave these unalienable rights to.‭ ‬These are rights that cannot be claimed within the realm of rule by‭ ‬any government nor can we give them away as they are the essence of our being,‭ ‬that without‭ ‬them‭ ‬we lose all authority over our own self.‭ ‬These rights being unalienable is to remove them from the jurisdiction of any government,‭ ‬save God’s government,‭ ‬as God is why we have these rights in the first place.

This should explain why all of what Progressives do is of necessity to usurp the spirit,‭ ‬meaning,‭ ‬and intention of the Constitution,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬to gain our assent to claimed powers that were never granted.‭ ‬This model of oppression is a certain construct that is always brought with some other‭ ‬sleight of hand argument,‭ ‬as has been the case throughout the history of time,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬to which,‭ ‬the assent of the‭ ‬governed is gained.‭ ‬Force and exploitation are the components of use‭ when‬ the Constitution is usurped,‭ ‬or achievement of amendment to the Constitution occurs under the guise of what is best for the people,‭ ‬while,‭ ‬in fact,‭ ‬the amendment is only for the good of government and in direct dismissal of the Will of The People.‭ ‬No Amendment is able to provide for the government to fail to protect our unalienable rights,‭ ‬rights which cannot be liened,‭ ‬cannot be given away,‭ ‬cannot be unattached from any one of us because God gave them to us directly.

This statement from the unanimous Declaration of Independence is where we are now:

‭“‬Prudence,‭ ‬indeed,‭ ‬will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes‭; ‬and accordingly‭ ‬all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer,‭ ‬while evils are sufferable,‭ ‬than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.‭” ‬--‭ ‬Emphasis Mine.‭ ‬Declaration of Independence,‭ ‬July‭ ‬4,‭ ‬1776


It is America’s Lesson with the election of Obama and the democrats:‭ ‬Never grant control of America to Progressives,‭ ‬as they assume omnipotent majority rule in their personal and collective despotic desire for‭ ‬ever-growing power.

The reason this lesson is so important is that Our Founders wrote the Constitution to assure there would be no majority rule as this is always accompanied by a centralization of power that is achieved by trespass in diminution of Individual Liberty--destruction of the ultimate minority,‭ ‬the individual.‭

Thus the paramount necessity for Progressives to assume majority rule,‭ ‬assume the‭ ‬form of democracy in voting,‭ ‬is demonstrative of the‭ ‬type of government we have and the accompanying substance of power in authoritarian rule that comes with a democracy,‭ ‬such as compelling the purchase of health insurance.‭ ‬Keep in mind that every American Citizen is subjected to review by the most oppressive agency in the United States,‭ ‬the IRS as to their assent to this first time National Government Mandate to purchase something,‭ ‬irrespective of the direct violation of our unalienable and natural right to freedom of choice.‭ ‬This persistent confusing of the form and type,‭ ‬of form and substance,‭ ‬is done by Progressives in their interest to create a democracy through usurpation of the republic We The People established according to the Constitution.‭ “‬Form over substance‭” ‬is their consistent means of abuse and trickery,‭ ‬of mockery,‭ ‬to commit treachery against us,‭ ‬while gaining our unwitting permission.

To Progressives we are mushrooms,‭ ‬kept in the dark and fed whatever line of jargon will appeal to our self-interest,‭ ‬as this proves their case for how‭ ‬self-absorbed we are,‭ ‬irrespective of this narcissism being their creation in the first place.‭ ‬We are used as tools for their agenda,‭ ‬as they push us to think selfishly,‭ ‬to subscribe to personal interests that the Progressive seems acknowledging and identified with merely by mentioning the issue we hold valuable--a perfect manipulation to achieve our assent to their ascending the throne of Sovereignty over the United States of America in taking our acquiescence as agreement to their seizure of power and confiscation of our role.‭ ‬In this failure to carry out our duty and leave our nation to fend for itself without the voice of the people as its ruler,‭ ‬only by this can our rights be lost,‭ ‬as our government ceases to be the creature we created to protect them,‭ ‬and is instead by our failure,‭ ‬presumed a grant to those in power,‭ ‬whatever majority,‭ ‬as they claim they are our ruler -- a ruler who naturally no longer follows our will at all.

Time and time again we’ve lent credibility to their ideas and actions due solely to this exploitation of us by Progressives and their agenda--Our nation is being run by used car salespeople on steroids.‭ ‬Their goal is to sell the‭ ‬well-used,‭ ‬discarded,‭ ‬and proven to be oppressive,‭ ‬central government power structure to We The People,‭ ‬who history remarks over and over again are‭ “‬self-governing,‭” ‬by getting us to slowly but surely believe in government and the‭ ‬Progressives‭’‬ claimed statements of intention,‭ ‬statements appealing to our self interest,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬that have nothing to do with the historically known Progressive agenda of subservience,‭ ‬oppression,‭ ‬and slavery of the Sovereign to their will.

Thus,‭ ‬it is time We The People remember the Constitution’s purpose is to assure that there is no majority to rule over the individual’s Life,‭ ‬Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness,‭ ‬including the unalienable right to freedom of choice as to what we purchase with our own money,‭ ‬our private property.‭ ‬Anything else is the lead boot of‭ ‬“1984‭”‬ stomping on the face of mankind.‭ ‬When individual liberty is destroyed so too is the idea of freedom from Government-Over-Man.‭ ‬Americans are not subjects of their government,‭ ‬Our Government created by Our Constitution is subject to the American People,‭ ‬subservient and our footstool,‭ ‬and only sits at Our Pleasure.

From the Declaration of Independence in this regard:

‭“‬But 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,‭ ‬and to provide new guards for their future security.‭” ‬--‭ ‬Emphasis Mine,‭ ‬ibid.


So with the Constitution Amended in a manner that violates our unalienable rights,‭ ‬as well as the compound‭ ‬republic structure to assure checks and balances between state and national government‭ (‬federalism‭)‬,‭ ‬and the history of the legal instruments of our freedom is untaught for what the Founders meant and intended,‭ ‬then,‭ ‬there is a majority in the People being informed through myth,‭ ‬misinformation,‭ ‬and prejudice which is focused particularly in educating‭ “‬the middle class.‭” ‬The persistent claims of‭ “‬our democracy‭” ‬by Progressives such as President Obama,‭ ‬indicate their valuing the notion of an omnipotent majority,‭ ‬well indicated by the certain arrogance of power flaunted in solely one party, the Democratic Party, passing healthcare before the election of Ted Kennedy’s replacement,‭ ‬Scott Brown.‭ ‬It is sad to see recent legislation indicates that he and others of the republican party that was originally formed by Thomas Jefferson,‭ ‬are Progressives.‭ ‬Of course this all goes to the Progressives requirement of our lack of knowledge in promotion of their cause,‭ ‬or possibly due to pure ignorance of necessity ‬of the substance of America:‭ ‬Individual Liberty.

Note the unanimous Declaration of Independence:

‭“‬We hold these truths to be self-evident,‭ ‬that all men are created equal,‭ ‬that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,‭ ‬that‭ ‬among these are life,‭ ‬liberty and the pursuit of happiness.‭ ‬That to secure these rights,‭ ‬governments are instituted among men,‭ ‬deriving their‭ ‬just powers from the consent of the governed.‭ ‬That‭ ‬whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends,‭ ‬it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,‭ ‬and to institute new government,‭ ‬laying its foundation on such principles and‭ ‬organizing its powers in such form,‭ ‬as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.‭” ‬--‭ ‬Emphasis Mine,‭ ‬ibid.‭ “‬Among these‭” ‬is emphasized because Life,‭ ‬Liberty,‭ ‬and the Pursuit of Happiness,‭ ‬are only a subset of the entire of unalienable rights we are endowed with by our Creator.


Taking control of the most powerful aspect of our lives,‭ ‬our health,‭ ‬and rationing healthcare,‭ ‬something common to the British healthcare system,‭ ‬appears to be the extent of‭ “‬tough choices‭” ‬our Progressive Majority,‭ ‬operating as though this is the British Democracy,‭ ‬is willing to take.‭ ‬This‭ “‬answer‭” ‬to‭ ‬government’s idea of providing healthcare to everyone for free,‭ ‬the government deciding who is,‭ ‬and is not,‭ ‬to receive treatment based on the cost to government,‭ ‬is a grand power over the people far in excess of any power granted in the Constitution,‭ ‬and a power that is bestowed on bureaucrats who hide behind‭ “‬sovereign immunity,‭” ‬as officers of government,‭ ‬at every turn if ever challenged.

Obviously the best interest of the ultimate minority,‭ ‬the individual,‭ ‬and their liberties,‭ ‬is of no consequence in Britain,‭ ‬where people are subjects of a direct democracy,‭ ‬the House of Commons--an omnipotent centralized government action as a group of tyrants--the replacement of Britain’s original feudal centralized government tyranny rule who has shown no responsibility to the Will of The British People,‭ ‬and only arrogance.‭ ‬Americans and their government recognize the Will of every person based on every one of us being endowed with unalienable rights,‭ ‬and America had fought‭ ‬2‭ ‬World Wars to make this point,‭ ‬without taking any land,‭ ‬and being the nation to facilitate the rebuilding of those we defeated.

Please understand that Our Founders had no trouble with votes in the House and Senate being based on majorities,‭ ‬however they fought for the absolute necessity of,‭ ‬and persistent desire to,‭ ‬assure the minority,‭ ‬the individual liberty of‭ ‬1,‭ ‬would never be oppressed again.‭ ‬Thus‭ ‬why our government is founded upon the Constitution as a directive instrument of Our Will in a limited and revocable grant of powers,‭ ‬defined in‭ “‬type‭” ‬of government as a republic.

Democracy,‭ ‬whether direct‭ (‬as in Britain‭)‬ ‬or indirect,‭ ‬run on the idea that the majority is omnipotent,‭ ‬is‭ ‬all-powerful and can do no wrong.‭ ‬Sounds like what we’ve been watching for the last‭ ‬18‭ ‬months,‭ ‬passage of bank bailout,‭ ‬stimulus,‭ ‬and the new push to nationalize healthcare,‭ ‬along with the majority pursuit of cap‭ & ‬trade,‭ ‬etc.,‭ ‬all outcomes that result in greater unemployment and greater costs of American government,‭ ‬along with new taxes, and thereby,‭ ‬greater dependence on the National Government--Independence requires each of us to be secure in our unalienable rights,‭ ‬Life is what is being controlled by government with healthcare,‭ ‬and thereby,‭ ‬is no longer secure to us,‭ ‬as it is subjected to government’s will,‭ ‬and thus is rendered a‭ ‬privilege pursuant to government’s whim.

May Divine Providence deliver us from the tyranny manifesting over us before it solidifies into the only meaning of freedom,‭ “‬privilege granted by government as an the elite class,‭” ‬for future generations of mankind throughout the World.

Vigilance Requires A Sovereign

The Prohibition of Alcohol that took place under Theodore Roosevelt,‭ ‬the founder of the Progressive Party in‭ ‬1912,‭ ‬illustrates the necessity of vigilance by the Sovereign People of America in regularly asserting the limits of their national government.


Prohibition

“The Prohibition Era‭” ‬it is sometimes called,‭ ‬apparently with the interest of romanticizing a moment in history where the nation had been divided between the‭ “‬wets‭” ‬and the‭ “‬dries.‭” ‬Of course the idea‭ ‬that we amended our constitution to achieve this,‭ ‬only to undo‭ ‬such amendment almost‭ ‬15‭ ‬years later is rather unromantic,‭ ‬and a bit frightening.‭ ‬Consider that the national government sought to deem itself the dictator of what is and isn’t allowed of the Sovereign,‭ ‬the people.‭ ‬I’d dare say this is a very good example of Progressivism’s first experiment with rationing of a product or service.

The‭ ‬18th Amendment,‭ ‬which made alcohol illegal,‭ ‬irrespective of State laws,‭ ‬was obviously‭ ‬passed‭ ‬after the National Government‭ ‬had enacted‭ ‬the Federal Reserve Act,‭ ‬the‭ ‬16th Amendment,‭ ‬as well as the‭ ‬17th Amendment,‭ ‬meaning that State’s rights,‭ ‬and the State’s ability to assert them,‭ ‬were already marginalized if not liquidated entirely.

It took almost fifteen years to repeal‭ ‬Prohibition,‭ ‬and today the entire‭ ‬crowd of crusaders to‭ ‬legalize drugs and marijuana embrace the very same principle that legalized alcohol,‭ ‬the most abused power of government throughout time:‭ ‬taxation.‭ ‬Government,‭ ‬once it could have a means to tax alcohol for greater government revenues‭ (‬a payoff‭)‬,‭ ‬would then repeal its prohibition of certain activities by the American people.

Had you ever thought you’d ever read that taxation created freedom‭? ‬You still‭ ‬haven’t.

Taxation is a burden,‭ ‬and abuse of taxation is tyranny.‭ ‬With the act of Prohibition the government had unleashed the worst of our society.‭ ‬The organized crime families and their illegal activities soared to amass wealth outside‭ ‬our overall economy.‭ ‬Creation of profit centers of criminal activity appears to be the one area where the national government has any sort of business acumen.

Consider that Progressive Party‭ President‬ Theodore Roosevelt,‭ ‬wanted to see if the American People‭ ‬were ready to be servants to their new Progressive‭ ‬Master‭ ‬-‭ ‬Government.‭ ‬The fact that Prohibition was added as an Amendment to the Constitution and thereby‭ ‬showed the ease with which the national government could gain power over the unalienable right of freedom of choice without‭ ‬hearing‭ ‬an immediate‭ ‬outcry to repeal it as‭ ‬a mistake,‭ ‬was enough of‭ ‬an operational statement to suggest‭ ‬that‭ ‬the people of this country‭ ‬had and‭ ‬have lost touch with their independent and self-governing spirit,‭ ‬or the will to exercise their Sovereign Authority‭ ‬over their government.

Every time I hear someone suggest term limits all I see is the same abdication of responsibility,‭ ‬and thereby freedom,‭ ‬that led to Prohibition.

Self-control is‭ ‬one’s own responsibility.‭ ‬If you cannot control yourself from voting for the same person for‭ ‬6‭ ‬terms,‭ ‬just like drinking‭ ‬6‭ ‬whiskeys in‭ ‬5‭ ‬minutes,‭ ‬ask yourself why,‭ ‬and determine by reason if maybe,‭ ‬just maybe,‭ ‬that politician was a true public servant and had served everyone well,‭ ‬and maybe that’s why they had‭ ‬6‭ ‬terms.‭ ‬If the answer to your review of why you vote for them,‭ ‬is empty,‭ ‬then hold yourself accountable by voting for someone else,‭ ‬cease from accepting a habit for the sake of‭ ‬party,‭ ‬etc.‭ ‬Always remember‭ ‬that‭ ‬your actions are your decision,‭ ‬your individual right,‭ ‬it is not group-think,‭ ‬it is not something you must take to your Church‭ ‬or others for approval.‭ ‬Accept your unalienable rights and the responsibilities therewith to then use and live them,‭ ‬it is in this way you keep individual rights for yourself and everyone else.

Our Founders knew this is the only way we can protect ourselves from this abuse by our national government,‭ ‬an abuse whose root is in Progressive Presidents,‭ ‬one after the other after the other who are persistent in ignoring the restraints we placed on our national government.‭ ‬If freedom,‭ ‬and the only nation on Earth where the people are the Sovereign,‭ ‬is to continue to exist,‭ ‬then we must continue and always be,‭ ‬vigilant if we wish to re-establish this government under man.

Support Arizona: Boycott the Boycotters

Many think SEIU has power right? Let’s see what happens when millions of Tea Partiers stop buying products all over the United States of America until their city, county, and/or state butt’s out of protesting the State of Arizona who is fulfilling their job to protect their citizens. This never would have happened if Arizona didn’t have to act in lieu of the National Government’s “powers” that they fail to use for sake of politics.

Progressive run cities across America decided to boycott Arizona, while between 60-70% of Americans support Arizona. So we of the Arizona Tea Party figured it’s time for these cities to feel it in their business license revenues by boycotting the businesses they rely on, businesses who obviously haven’t spoken out against the actions of their city, and thus deserve to have this penalty of some 25 million Americans ceasing to buy products from them all across America. I am a firm believer in “spread the municipal debt abuse around” when it comes to one city, state, and/or county, penalizing another, as though there is some power granted by state and federal constitutions to do that.

Please post any significant businesses, with City and State, in other cities that have enacted measures to protest and boycott the Arizona Immigration Law here http://teapartyorg.ning.com/forum/topics/boycott-suggestions.

This is not the face of Americans, it is the face of an invasion:

Feel free to post this wherever you can, Arizona needs your support, but more importantly, America need to know the economic impact of “the Tea Party Effect.”

I know this list is long, all we’re asking is that you pick out 10 of these companies to boycott every month, some maybe permanently, others just to send the message. The Tea Party is a large enough block of this economy to make a difference, let’s do so!
