There are those today who would claim that the lifeblood of a nation is dependent upon the graces of its government. That government is the focal point of cultural growth, and that we as citizens should respect it as such. I would be more inclined to agree if the public did not so easily confuse the ideals of leadership with the actions of criminals. That is to say, regardless of what we wish our government to be, bureaucracies rarely, if ever, embody the spirit of the common man (a necessity for any system that purports to defend the citizenry). Instead, bureaucracies almost inevitably deteriorate into vehicles for the perpetuation of tyranny driven by the very worst of all stewards; elitist minorities with delusions of godhood.
Unfortunately, despite this fact, the masses often treat these industrious vermin and the plagues of society that they build with the same reverence as they would a sincere and honorable body politic.
Government is not nor has it ever been a foregone conclusion. Government is not concrete. It is not tangible. It is not the foundation of society. Instead, government is an abstraction; a fantastic dream of collectivist paternity in the face of individual hardship. Those who fear to wander the world on their own courage, strength, and merit, seek to elevate and empower “decision makers” to provide the comfort of limited liability. Through this process, governments are created out of thin air. All governmental authority is, thus, HANDED to those in positions of leadership. What makes one man a “king” and another man a “peasant”? Only the people of a country, and where they choose to place their personal control; in their own hands, or the hands of others.
To put it simply, there is no power over us but that which we give away, and no freedom lost, that cannot be regained.
Until this reality is understood, consecutive generations of human beings will be left to wonder astonished at the endless atrocities of governments they thought they could trust. The truth is, no government, no matter how seemingly noble, deserves our full faith. All governments must be treated like storehouses of aging dynamite; with extreme vigilance, care, and suspicion, because, it is in the very nature of centralized power to sink towards destabilization and disaster.
The American dynamic was meant to be different. For the first time in history, a group of people organized an administrative body which was predicated upon the will of the general populace and not the will of the incorporated elite. The Constitution was the first legal document designed to LIMIT the power of government, not endlessly exonerate it. Though many in our modern age have become completely ignorant of its original intent, the Constitution and its written protections allowed for the first decentralized government of the Western world, if not the entire world. A government which was specifically tasked with shielding the rights of the individual beyond the desires of the mindless “majority”, or the normally influential aristocracy.
Obviously, we have strayed far and away beyond the schematics set forth by the founding fathers.
Let us finally be honest with ourselves and say it out loud; our government is not Constitutional! It has become a mutation. A monstrosity. A malformed creature given birth by the oozing genetic material of mad social scientists hell bent on dominating the building blocks of our political life. It is a thing to be abhorred, not admired, and certainly not to be trusted.
The statement above may be confusing to those who have relegated their concerns to the immediate. If one is free to walk about the streets, keep a job, have a drink, and settle in front of his television for hours on end, then what is there to be worried about? If he is not directly affected by the ill notions of men in far off banks and capitols, then why care at all? If the pain of government criminality only strikes people from “other” cultures, or other walks of life, why be concerned? For those who actually suffer from this brand of idiocy, I can only relate the unwarranted role that our government has assumed within our society and hope that they begin to realize how extraordinarily unsafe they really are. The injustices visited upon the few are invariably visited upon the many in time, especially where a rogue government resides.
The kind of intrusion by government allowed by the American people today is utterly astounding. Bank records, medical records, political viewpoints, phone conversations, emails, child rearing practices, food eating habits, health pursuits, social networking habits, biometric data, travel; nothing is safe from the prying eyes of government anymore.
At what point did we as a nation decide that the government’s opinion of the domestic ideal should become the precedent? At what point did we decide that a faceless bureaucracy knows better than we do what is best for us? When did our lives become an open book to be read at the government’s leisure?
I say “we decided”, because we must bear a large part of the blame. From the institution of the Patriot Acts, to the utilization of the FISA domestic spying bill, to the latest monitoring and cataloging by the DHS and the Federal Reserve of private internet activity, we have stood by and done little to nothing in response.
The argument put forth by establishment proponents has always been that the government’s task is to keep us safe. In order to do this, they say, there can be nowhere for “evil doers” to hide. Therefore, the privacy of every individual must be sacrificed for the greater good of the greater number. This argument is unabashed nonsense.
Governments do not keep people safe. Governments are historically predisposed to ending far more lives than they protect, especially when they have strayed from their original mandates. When a government goes rogue, or has been honed as a tool for control rather than defense, its directives lean towards self preservation, not the preservation of the public. That is to say, the government and those who directly benefit from its manipulation set policies that ensure their own safety, and no one else’s.
Without a doubt, all the anti-4th Amendment legislation that has been passed over the course of last decade is focused not on some sinister force, foreign or domestic. Instead, it has been focused on average American citizens, because, whether we want to admit it or not, the government sees US as their greatest enemy.
There was a time when even I would have considered this view as a bit “extreme”. However, I would now have to point out the introduction of bills and executive orders like the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which essentially erases Posse Comitatus and allows for Martial Law to be instituted with extreme prejudice under executive authority:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:H.R.5122:
http://www.towardfreedom.com/home/content/view/911/
As well as the attempted passage of the Enemy Belligerents Act, which would allow for the capture, torture, and indefinite incarceration of American citizens as “enemy combatants:
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s3081/show
Not to mention the National Emergency Centers Act which allows for the detention of civilians in military and FEMA run facilities:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645
Or the Obama Administration’s continuance of Bush doctrine which allows for the assassination of U.S. citizens designated as “enemy combatants”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/world/middleeast/07yemen.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/26/AR2010012604239_2.html?hpid=topnews&sid=ST2010012700394
And most recently, the National Defense Authorization Act, a defense spending action which is being used to coattail legislation which decimates all Constitutional checks and balances and leaves the door open for the government to declare any region they wish a “combat zone”. These provisions are just a rewritten combination of the Enemy Belligerents Act (both bills were fostered by the hand of John McCain) and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, giving government free reign to designate any person, even an American citizen, as an enemy combatant. This means that anyone, including you, could one day be detained without Habeas Corpus, without fair trial, without due process, without legal representation, forever. Period.
You think rendition only occurs in Middle Eastern hellholes? Think again. With these bills and others like them, the American public is now fair game.
Rationalizations for the above actions abound. Some of the most common naïve positions include the following:
1) Assassinations Against Al Qaeda Agents, Even If They Are American Citizens, Is Justifiable
The nature of the target is irrelevant to the principle underlying the situation. I don’t care if Anwar al-Awlaki was an agent of Hades, the conscience of a country must take precedence over the short term threats that country faces. If a society is unable to maintain its conscience and its principles in the face of hardship, then perhaps that society is not worthy of survival. There are, indeed, many more important things than national security.
This is how all tyranny begins; with a small group or element of a culture singled out for the loss of human rights, while the rest of the people look on and cheer. Eventually, the exception to the rule becomes the rule, and everyone suffers. Under no circumstances should our government be allowed to rewrite Constitutional protections or our moral compass, even if it means giving so called “terrorists” fair treatment under the law. Never forget, the term “terrorist” is as arbitrary as any nowadays, and could be used against you as easily as it could be used against anyone else.
2) The Domestic Realm Is A Haven For “Homegrown Terrorists”
Again, “homegrown terrorism” is a highly arbitrary label. If one looks at statements and white papers coming from the Department Of Homeland Security, or the Department Of Justice, anyone from Constitutionalists, to Ron Paul supporters, to militia members, to barter networkers and sound money proponents, or anyone who even expresses an interest in any of these subjects, is considered a potential domestic terrorist threat.
Where is this headed? Think about it. If these types of people are already being categorized as extremists, what’s to stop the government form categorizing them as enemy combatants?
3) Rendition And Torture Could Save Lives
Okay. Let’s say for the sake of argument that rendition and torture actually could save some lives, though I have never heard of any of these Jack Bauer moments taking place in the real world. Let’s say my life and those I love could be spared. Frankly, I would rather die than be a party to behavior as reprehensible as kidnapping and torture. I couldn’t care less about the theoretical benefits of the activity. As stated earlier, a nation hanging by the poisonous framework of moral relativism is doomed to failure and decay. Despite the propaganda often spread by elitist elements within our government, our military, and our local law enforcement, you DO NOT need to become the monster in order to defeat the monster. This lie should not be allowed to stand…
4) You Are “Overreacting” To The Legislation, And Americans Will Not Be Targeted
Senator Lindsay Graham, a backer of the National Defense Authorization Act, specifically outlined the bill’s jurisdiction over American citizens and even admitted it makes the U.S. itself a “combat zone” under the international laws of war (while at the same time presenting the lie that Federal due process would somehow be enforced for those who are captured). We who oppose the bill could do a lot more without being rightfully accused of “overreaction”. If Americans are not to be targeted, then why create the bill in the first place? Traditional laws of war would be more than sufficient to handle foreign threats, and domestic response agencies like the FBI could easily continue doing whatever it is they supposedly do to safeguard our country. The ONLY reason to introduce a bill which frees the U.S. Government and the DHS to act militarily within the borders of our own nation would be to target U.S. citizens, and to undermine normal Constitutional processes.
The legislation is self-incriminating. Only a complete dullard would argue otherwise.
5) The Government Is A Body Elected By The People, Therefore They Are One And The Same
The only practical explanation I can think of for someone to actually believe this argument is overmedication. Despite what we’re all taught in middle school, our government as it exists today and has for many decades does not represent the will of the people. Two dominant political parties with cosmetic differences in rhetoric but nearly identical legislative platforms and voting records is not an expression of a legitimately free republic. The system revolves around corporate ideologies of globalization, not elections. Its beneficiaries are a limited and powerful fringe of society, not the masses. It is a rigged game. A fake battle between two gladiators owned by the same Caesar. To say that the people and the government are one-in-the-same is a gross error in judgment.
After researching and acknowledging the course our government has taken, the question then arises; what is the ultimate end result? Barring multiple miracles of a complete economic turnaround, full third party inclusion in our political structure, the deconstruction of the Federal Reserve, the decentralization of financial influence, the reintroduction of Constitutional insulation degraded since 2001, and the complete pullback of troops involved in ongoing wars in the Middle East, there can be only one outcome: total conflict.
We did not create this division. The American people did not ask to be targeted. Though we certainly have not done enough to fend off the numerous attacks upon our general liberties, the root of the problem still lay within the core of our government, the puppet leaders who abuse it, and the corporate elitists who use it as a staging ground for personal agendas. We have become two separate groups that cannot and will not be reconciled. The government is openly admitting this through legislation like the National Defense Authorization Act. Its time we did the same.
When two forces diametrically opposed exist upon the same ground at the same time with the same force of will, war erupts. A war of philosophies, a war of dissent, and sometimes, a war of weapons. As unsettling as that might sound, we must take solace in the fact that we at least fight for what is honest. If every American must conform to the twisted path our government has chosen, or be branded an ‘enemy combatant”, then may we all become domestic threats in our own backyard.

The author is partially right, and partially wrong. Here’s where he went wrong:
“We did not create this division. The American people did not ask to be targeted.

The truth is that the American people have deliberately CHOSEN a path of evil.
The 1st proof is that the people of the U.S. had the option to vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries of 2008. Only a small minority of the population chose to vote for this honorable man.
The 2nd proof is that the people of the U.S. currently have the option (once again) to vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries of 2012. Still, only a small minority (10% – 20% at the most) will support Ron Paul. In fact, the majority of Republicans hate and vilify Ron Paul on a daily basis. They impale him with invectives such as “kook”, “nut”, “traitor”, “loon”. They refer to lovers of freedom as “Paultards”. This can be seen on the web site FreeRepublic.com
No, the American people have chosen a path of evil. They will suffer the consequences of their own choices, not the choices of some mythical “elite” power brokers.

So, the American people are evil because our election process is rigged in favor of globalist candidates? I think your argument is lacking in some of the finer complexities...
written by Brent Hanson , December 01, 2011
Brandon, no one has "rigged" the vote, or if they have, it has had a negligible effect. While it is true that corporations offer up a menu of corrupt candidates, it is the voters who have voluntarily select the corrupt candidates. The corporations can no more force voters to accept their menu of corruption, than they can force consumers to purchase pornography, cocaine, heroin, and abortion.
Examples of how the average Republican American thinks can be found on FreeRepublic.com. Here's the header title on the site
"Welcome to Free Republic, America's exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives!"
Let's see how the "God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives" treat Ron Paul". Ah, here's a thread titled: "Why Do So Many Lunatics Support Ron Paul?" http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...3456/posts
Are the people that write posts like this, paid stooges of globalists corporations? Or, do they represent the average Republican voter?
The answer is that average Republican voters that think like this. I know this to be true because I once volunteered to work at a phone bank for the Ron Paul campaign and was calling registered voters to gather polling data.
I heard nothing but scorn for Ron Paul.
So, yes, it is the average Republican American voter that chooses evil. The Democrats are even worse.

@Hanson
You are still operating on faulty logic. You claim that there is no vote rigging, but at the same time acknowledge that the odds are stacked in the favor of the establishment. If the elections are stacked with corrupt candidates, and Ron Paul is consistently marginalized by the MSM, how is this the fault of the American public?
I fault the citizenry for not listening to the facts when they are presented, but I do not fault them for the crimes of the elites. Also, using one website as a litmus test for the political positions of all Americans is hardly scientific. Ron Paul consistently wins or ranks very high in straw polls, yet you seem to be completely overlooking that bit of evidence.
If you live in a high crime neighborhood and you leave your door unlocked, then you are partly to blame if your home gets ransacked. However, that does not mean you are to blame for the trespasses of the criminals who did the ransacking.
Your extreme scattershot viewpoint is silly. Just because someone does not vote for Ron Paul, even if they are informed of his policies, does not necessarily make them "evil". Lets grow up a little bit and examine the deeper problem at hand, which is the manipuilation of the system by a select few, who are the root cause of the misinformation that leads to the public's confused actions.

The Republic began it's slow death a century or more ago. Many blame (Republican) Lincoln and his crowd of federal centralists; I'd give equal weight to Brother Woodrow (Democrat), who inflicted the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax - both integral to the financing of a permanent Welfare-Warfare State - and stuck us with a World War as well...nothing grows government like war. So these latest legislative atrocities simply represent the Oligarchy, now Zionist-globalist, positioning itself for a final assault on the People. Nor am I greatly disturbed by them. All failing regimes gold-grab, gun-grab, and attempt to utilize Mainforce military units to cling to power. It is precisely the latter that splits the military - some units will stand by the regime, others (National Guard) will come over to our side quickly; some, immediately, via state secessions. Empirically, if Ron Paul goes Third Party, a 3-way 2012 election may well see Obama winning a narrow victory in the EC while losing >55% of the popular vote. Combine this existential political crisis with a collapsing dollar/economy (via the Iran War), and we have critical mass for Civil War II. First Tuesday in November, 2012. Then: 60 days to Fort Sumter.

All that has happened is that one set of people, the American citizens, used their tax dollars to pay politicians, another set of people, to do community jobs that should have been done as a whole to prevent abuse, excess, and waste.
But people got greedy and began to admire those people that got the perks and benefits while not doing their jobs or performing their jobs in illegal ways. The government workers got paid to do nothing and other people wanted to do the same.
The problems in this country snowballed while we enjoyed looking away.
We made excuses while others lost their homes,rights, and jobs.
Now it seems people are "just noticing" how corrupt our politicians are.
People knew. They just didn't care because it didn't affect them.
Americans were fine when it was the brown,red, and yellow people being abused. Americans were fine when it was women, gays, children, foreigners, poor folk, or the elderly being abused.
Americans are fine as long as it is "someone elses" problem.
But if the politicians and their friends the bankers for one second take the "good" jobs or perks from us or take "our" rights THEN we pay attention.
Then,we still do nothing as citizens on a large-scale political basis.
If OUR money starts being taken THEN we become "good" religious socially involved folk and pay attention-for as long as we can in order to take from everyone else; or until we get OUR stuff back. Then we go back to not paying attention to the leaders we have selected, Or avoiding the people we dislike for whatever reasons.
Separatist American citizen behaviors failed in the past and they will fail now. America is in a great deal of trouble and American arrogance has rendered people delusional.
American citizens you'd better wake up and participate before you learn about what every other country understands-internment,poverty,ill heath, and slavery.

Sue the criminals for millions using commercial law forcing default, forgive a large portion issuing a 1099c and have the IRS strip them of their stuff to get the taxes owed.

For one, aliens don't exist, they are a deception, with a demonic hand. I've heard a few Bible scholars who subscribe to a pre-trib rapture (the rapture will happen, it's just a matter of when that is debated), that say when the rapture occurs, they will give credit to aliens doing it instead of God, and this will be THE 'great deception'.
Do you even realize what you are saying? You are saying exactly what these scholars say the unbelievers will claim! Wow neat.

It is a proven fact that our election process is totally rigged from re-districting and finding dead people casting ballots to hacking electronic voting machines. Not to mention blocking certain candidates from media access and public debate in favor of the "machine" choices. Rev. Soaries, who was appointed by President George Bush to the Federal Election Commission, resigned in disgust after a few months, stating in a news conference that the whole election system was rigged for fraud and political manipulation. The news media, of course, did not air his criticisms.
A snowball in Hell has only slightly less hope than we do in changing things through the system.

As far as people bashing Israel, when people say they want to annihilate you and have attacked you before or supplied those attacking you, you may want to believe them! Why would you be preparing ( if you are) for trouble here at home and blame Israel for doing the same?
As far as Ron Paul is concerned, he has chastised those who add pork barrel spending and voted against earmarks, but when the chips are down he will add his to te bill. That is hypocritical. Don't tell me he is a virtuous politician!

Hi Brandon, here is a list .
25000.00 for Brazoria County Sherrif to establish a Children's Identification and Location Database.
8 mil for marketing of wild American shrimp
10 mil to repair the Galveston railway causeway
1.8 mil for Personalized Medicine in Asthma
1.4 mil for busses for the Golden Cresent Regional Commision
2 mil for busses for Galveston
2 mil to repair the Galveston trolley
30 mil to the Texas Maritime Academy to repair a ship
He probably voted against the spending bill because he knew it would pass. He would then be on record voting against it. Nice to have it both ways.
I'm not anti Ron Paul, if he gets the nomination for the Republicrats I'll vote for him. I think it's all a matter of "to little, too late" to be honest. The die has been cast. We, as the watchmen of freedom in the world, have been weighed and found wanting. We can and must 'reset' if possible.
If I robbed a bank and went on a wild spending spree( which I did not do, nor would I ever do), I would be guilty and go to jail. If I had no part in the robbery but say my coworkers gave me $50,000 to spend from their robbery and I spent it, I would be just as guilty. I can't justify my spending the loot by saying ' if I don't spend it, someone else will and my community of local businesses will be the poorer for it'. In my opinion, Ron Paul is at least equal to the latter. Just saying.

"By standing against Zionism, you are missing God's purposes..."
Scofield bible-based nonsense. Jews were promised the "promised land?" Okay, let's see the contract!
Most of those "Jews" illegally ensconced in occupied Palestine are not bona fide Jews. In fact, many of them are ethnic Russians who emmigrated to Israel claiming to be Jews just to escape the poor economic conditions in Russia.
In 1976 Arthur Koestler published a book titled THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE* in which he proves that these Eastern European "Jews" are neither Israelites nor "Semites," but are the descendants of instead Khazars, Mongols, and Huns.
"The Thirteenth Tribe (1976) is a book by Arthur Koestler, which advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people. Koestler's hypothesis is that the Khazars converted to Judaism in the 8th century, and migrated westwards into Eastern Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing."
You can find the book online if you do a Google search. Read it. You might learn something.

Some in posts above have pointed to various leaders and times in history as the turning point in our nation. Like it or not, this country and the principles it was founded on came from a Judeo-Christian tradition. The historical reviosionists have attempted to wipe out this history but if you search, the information is still there and easily found. In fact, the Library of Congress has a nice section devoted to this. http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel06.html
The real turning point came in 1859 with the release of The Origin of the Species. This book single handedly killed God in this nation and set us on the path of moral relativism that we have traveled so far down. You can label me a finatic, but the ethical and moral implications of natural selection have played out time and again. Self is the driving factor for most people. More for me at the expense of others... survival of the fittest.

Elections aren't RIGGED, huh?
They're rigged EASIER and by LESS PEOPLE with the advent of electronic voting machines:
Computer Programmer testifies he was commissioned by house rep to write program to hack electronic voting machines and make "your guy" win 51%-49%

You seriously have to be naive to think elections aren't rigged, courts aren't rigged, and law enforcement aren't rigged. There's plenty of evidence, PLENTY. Naive people who believe these things aren't rigged say things like "it's the American peoples' fault, they voted for these guys", "they must not be guilty, otherwise they'd be in jail", etc...all naive comments by people who STILL believe our system is on the up-and-up.

I do not trust the elections they are run by the Republican elite and I do not believe Ron Paul has a chance I will support him because of his backing of the constitution but I think the electorial process has been co-opted just like the government in this country it is sad to say. Iowa has gone computerized I do not think a written ballot would be accepted but that is what I will try to do when it comes time to vote I will write-in Ron Paul.
