Are Kentucky Republicans Rigging Senate Race Against Rand Paul?

On March 19, the Associated Press reported that Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat against Rand Paul, will be allowed to oversee the election race. Grayson is Kentucky’s chief elections official. Paul is currently the frontrunner in the Senate primary.

Rand Paul questioned whether Grayson should recuse himself from oversight of the race. Paul sent a letter to Grayson’s Capitol office in January asking for a recusal.

The Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics Commission apparent does not see a conflict of interest. “There’s nothing on the face of it that requires abstention,” said John Steffen, head of the commission.

The Commission reached a unanimous opinion that it is “highly unlikely” that a secretary of state in Kentucky could influence the results of a statewide election “without having the universal cooperation of election officials across the state.” In Kentucky, the secretary of state also serves as chairman of the Kentucky Board of Elections.

“He quite simply, under normal circumstances, lacks the ability to affect the election’s outcome,” the commission concluded in a six-page opinion. Members also said “it seems unlikely that his participation would affect the public’s confidence in the integrity of the executive branch,” according to the Associated Press.

Rand Paul’s political views are at odds with those of the establishment Republican party. He is an ardent critic of the Federal Reserve, the USA PATRIOT Act, the bailout of Wall Street, and the erosion of civil liberties and the Bill of Rights under the contrived global war on terror. Paul opposes the Department of Education, the war in Iraq, and the federal income tax.

Paul believes his political philosophy “resonates in the Republican primary. I think what we’re finding is as we get our message out — is that the message is actually popular,” he told Judge Andrew Napolitano last November. “I think there is a disconnect between the Republican primary voter who does believe, like myself, in limited constitutional government, in our leaders who have sometimes let us down. It is like the bank bailout. I said I have yet to meet a Republican primary voter who would have voted for it.”

Establishment Republicans, however, vehemently oppose the Libertarian faction of their party. In October, Lindsay Graham told a town hall meeting he would not allow Ron Paul to “hijack” the Republican party. Graham also said the GOP will not be “the party of angry white guys,” a reference to the Tea Party and patriot movements.

In February, Republican and former presidential hopeful and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee criticized the CPAC event for its support of Ron Paul and the Tea Party movement. “CPAC has becoming increasingly more libertarian and less Republican over the last years, one of the reasons I didn’t go this year,” Huckabee said in an interview with Fox News, where he is a paid analyst and has his own show.

Guns Save Lives – Again!

Friday, February 12, 2010

NAGRbanner

I am reprinting this message I recieved this morning. It illustrates the importance of preserving our right to protect ourselves.

College student shoots home invader, saves 10 lives

Yet another reason to keep a gun in the house . . .

Several months ago, in the notoriously dangerous neighborhood of College Park in Atlanta, Georgia, two armed criminals broke into a house party of students.

After confiscating the group’s valuables, the invaders split the men and women up into different rooms.

Witnesses say the perpetrators then counted their rounds and discussed if they had “enough” ammunition.

The students believe the gunmen were going to rape and murder the entire group of students, who were celebrating a birthday at the end of the semester.

However, one male student, whose identity is being protected by police and local media, retrieved a handgun from his backpack and fired at the thug who was detaining the men.

(That is: One smart student had prepared for a night in College Park, Atlanta.)

The criminal fled the apartment under the threat of injury and never returned.

The student, continuing on into the girls’ room, found the other thug, 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, preparing to rape his first victim.

The student exchanged gunfire with Lavant, lethally wounding him in the process.  Lavant fled through a window and died in front of his apartment, only one building away.

One of the female students was injured during the exchange, but doctors expect a full and complete recovery.

So what’s the point

A student saved the girls from rape, and saved the whole group of 10 people (including himself) from murder . . . and he did it with a handgun.

This is a perfect example of how ludicrous “big city gun laws” are.  What if this had happened in New York, Chicago, or any of the other big cities that criminalize their citizens’ self defense?

Yes, we would be reading an entirely different story — one so horrendous that we would shudder at the very words.

Either this whole group of friends would have been raped and murdered by these two sorry excuses for human beings . . . or the hero of this story would be facing prison time for firearm possession and murder.

Thankfully, however, Atlanta hasn’t outlawed self-defense yet.  And since someone had a gun and was willing to use it, innocent life was preserved.

Congratulations to the unnamed hero of this story.  You saved your friends’ lives.

The False Left-Right Paradigm

Sunday, January 17, 2010

From the years 2000-2008, I held the following beliefs:

1. Opposition to the Patriot Act, FISA, and every other piece of legislation that derailed and disregarded the Rights of the American people as stated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

2. Opposition to the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars.

3. Opposition to the Bush Banker Bailout

4. Opposition to lobbyist for corporate interests dictating policy through sellout politicians

From 2000-2008, many accused me of being a flaming Liberal due to my positions.

From 2008-today, I still hold those beliefs, only these days I’m accused of being a Right-Wing Extremist! What a difference an election makes!

It seems that today, we are divided by political allegiance rather than ideology. We are divided among party lines, and this makes us very useful to our current political system. Before I get too far along in this article, let’s examine the similarities among “liberals” and “conservatives”.

1. I don’t know a single liberal or conservative who supports lobbyists or corporate interests dictating gov’t policy

2. The majority of liberals and conservatives I know do not enjoy having their rights taken in the name of “fighting terror”

3. I know of no one who agrees with “their party” 100% of the time (other than many politicians, who consistently vote along party lines for political reasons)

4. I know of no one on either side of the political spectrum who believes that the majority of our politicians have our best interest at heart

5. Both conservatives and liberals vote for the “lesser of two evils” – a candidate who doesn’t really represent their views, but who talks a better game than the alternative!

I realize that this comparison paints with a wide brush, but for the most part, it is accurate – and very interesting!

What do liberals and  conservatives disagree on? It depends on who is in office… but for the sake of generalities, let’s see:

1. Abortion. Although hopefully none among us believes abortion is a wonderful thing… it seems the L and R disagree on how to deal with unwanted pregnancies. It is interesting to note the amount of red tape one must go through in order to adopt, and the complete absence of bureaucracy involved in attaining an abortion…

2. Gay Marriage. A complete non-issue and political football. There is NO REASON a homosexual person should not be allowed to do as they see fit with their private lives. Gov’t ought to have no place in matters of marriage. Interesting to note that the  ”marriage license”  laws were put into effect initially for recently freed slaves!)

3. Gun Rights. Again, the gov’t has no right to keep the American people from the right to protect themselves and their families from would-be assault/robbery/murder/etc. The right to bear arms protects us from intruders and from government tyranny. There is a reason the Germans, Chinese, Russians didn’t revolt when their governments became fascist/communist – because they couldn’t! They were disarmed. (Just like marriage “laws”, gun “laws” were first introduced to govern black folks – recently freed slaves! Funny how, over time, we’ve not emancipated slaves from these laws, but we’ve all allowed ourselves to be subject to these unjust laws, and in effect, to be ruled like slaves.)

4. Taxes/Government legislation. While the majority of us just wants what’s best for ourselves and our families, we don’t often see eye to eye on how to accomplish these ends. Many believe that the government can and should dictate policy for the lives of Americans, and institute taxes to fund these changes. These same people cry bloody murder when the government doesn’t do their will. On the other hand, there are those who claim to want individual sovereignty, yet willingly support BILLION dollar wars that our progeny will be beholden to.

In the end, these issues don’t separate us as much as we’d like to think –  except for issue #4. While I firmly believe that both Liberals and Conservatives want what’s best for themselves and their neighbors, it appears that until we can assuage our differences in how to attain these goals, we will remain locked in political purgatory where the only constant is the growing gov’t and dissatisfaction of the American people.

For those who believe government should run things, I ask this question: how’s that working out for you? Where was the government when you were laid off due to a failing economy? Where was your benevolent government when you were evicted from your foreclosed home? Where will government be when  your unemployment benefits run out? I’ll tell you what the government will do then (and it’s what government has done in America for a very long time) – it will abandon you and continue to support it’s corporate masters while telling you and the rest of your fellow Americans that it is doing so in your best interest!

For the “conservatives” I ask: where were you when Bush was blatantly violating Constitutional law? Where were you when Bush spent 4x more than Clinton? Where were you when Bush stole our money to hand over to private corporate banks, war contractors, oil companies, etc? Where were you then? You were waiving plastic American flags that were made in China, tearing up at your own pseudo-patriotism!

While we remain divided, our politicians remain very much on the same page. Obama’s policies are no different than Bush’s. Bush tripled the size of government and quadrupled gov’t spending. Obama has surpassed that in one year. Meanwhile the more gov’t grows, the worse the economy becomes, the more wars we enter, the more corporate handouts we give to banks, insurance companies, etc.

US politics today is like a Don King boxing match or a WWE wrestling bout. It is all for show, with the endgame being predetermined. You don’t agree? Did you know that the majority of our politicians are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, whose main goal is global governance and dissolution of national sovereignty. Here’s an interesting exercise. Pick out two random politicians and google their name + Council on Foreign Relations. For instance: Dick Cheney + CFR. Dick Cheney was once the Director of the CFR! Whoa. Ok. Now let’s try another politician… one on the Left: Barack Obama + Council on Foreign Relations. Hillary Clinton + CFR! Now back to the “Right”: George Bush + CFR… And back to the Left: Michelle Obama + CFR… Are you starting to get the picture?

When we are divided among party lines, things rarely change in government. It is only after we shake off the binds of a two-party system that we will achieve any real results in government reform. How do we do this?

1. Vote on the issues, not along party lines!

2. Demand paper ballots – e-voting is a fraud and we can’t expect to be duly represented by those we voted in power if we cannot KNOW that our vote is being represented!

3.  We need to get lobbyists out of politics for good. We do this by forcing our will on those who “represent” us. Make it an issue! Believe me, if you don’t, your representative, who’s got a handful of lobbyists fattening his/her pockets certainly won’t!

4. We need to start talking to our neighbors and coworkers again. We’ve become segregated, divided, and at war with one another while the real enemy is on the Hill, taking shots at us, picking us off one by one until there is no one left to stand up for what is right.

5. Don’t vote for a “D” or an “R” just because they have more chance to win. This kind of concession is what keeps us in bondage. Vote for a Libertarian, Constitutionalist or Green candidate – vote for Ross Perot or Ralph Nader! Vote for the third party so long as they truly represent you. Don’t vote for the guy who stands for 25-50% of your beliefs, vote for the one who stands for 80-99% of your values! Support these candidates with your vote, your time, and your wallet.

6. Talk to anyone you can about the false “L-R” paradigm.

The Rise & Reich of The Federal Reserve

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

 

 

What is The Federal Reserve?

People are surprised to learn that the Federal Reserve is a private bank that has nothing to do with the Federal gov’t. The Federal Reserve is as Federal as Federal Express!

Origins

Since America’s inception, private bankers have attempted to institute a private, central bank that would coin money and regulate the value of the currency. This power is expressly delegated to the United States Congress in the Constitution – Article 1, Section 8.

The private bankers succeeded in instituting a private central bank a few times before the big score of 1913.

When asked what his greatest accomplishment had been during his two terms as President, Andrew Jackson replied “I killed the Bank.” He was talking about the “Second Bank of the United States”, which was our country’s second central bank.

There seemed to be an ongoing struggle between those who represented the People and those who sold out to the Private Banks. Eventually, through stealth and collusion, those who desired a Central Bank won the most recent battle.

The Meeting at Jekyll Island in 1910

(From: The Creature from Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin) The secret meeting on Jekyll Island in Georgia at which the Federal Reserve was conceived; the birth of a banking cartel to protect its members from competition; the strategy of how to convince Congress and the public that this cartel was an agency of the United States government.– Attending were were seven men who represented an estimated one-forth of the total wealth of the entire world.

1. Nelson W. Aldrich, Republican “whip” in the Senate, Chairman of the National Monetary Commission, business associate of J.P. Morgan, father-in-law to John D. Rockefeller, Jr.;

2. Abraham Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury;

3. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, the most powerful of the banks at that time,representing William Rockefeller and the international investment banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Company;

4. Henry P. Davison, senior partner of the J.P Morgan Company;

5. Charles D. Norton, president of J.P. Morgan’s First National Bank ofNew York;

6. Benjamin Strong, head of J.P. Morgan’s Bankers Trust Company;and

7. Paul M. Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Company, a representative of the Rothschild banking dynasty in England and France, and brother to Max Warburg who was head of the Warburg banking consortium in Germany and the Netherlands.

In 1913, Congress voted The Federal Reserve Act into law on Christmas Eve, when many Congressmen were gone for Christmas Recess. The Federal Reserve Act gave the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof to a private bank.

In 1930, Paul Warburg wrote a massive book – 1750 pages in all – entitled “The Federal Reserve System, Its Origin and Growth”…. “The results of the conference were entirely confidential. Even the fact there had been a meeting was not permitted to become public.” Then in a footnote he added: “Though eighteen years have since gone by, I do not feel free to give a description of this most interesting conference concerning which Senator Aldrich pledged all participants to secrecy.”

It is a Federal Crime for sitting Politicians to meet in private to discuss matters of government.

Barton Hepburn of Chase National Bank was even more candid. He said: “The measure recognizes and adopts the principles of a central bank. Indeed, if all works out as the sponsers of the law hope, it will make all incorporated banks together joint owners of a central dominating power.”

Why is the Federal Reserve problematic?

The Federal Reserve prints paper money out of nothing (not backed by gold, silver, etc) and then loans the money to the US gov’t WITH INTEREST. So the gov’t has to pay interest for money that they could’ve printed themselves for free!! But it’s not the gov’t paying the interest – it’s the people who pay this interest with their personal income!!

For Example:

1. Government wants to have 1 billion dollars in circulation to aid commerce within the nation.

2. Government goes to private bank and asks for 1 billion dollars.

3. Private bank, usurping authority of government, creates 1 billion dollars from nothing.

4. Private bank loans bank created money AT INTEREST to government.

5. Government issues 1 billion dollars into circulation.

6. Government now owes 1 billion dollars PLUS INTEREST to private bank.

7. Private bank demands ” collateral ” for ” loan.”

8. ” Collateral ” for ” loan ” comes from the pockets of the American people.

9. Personal income tax is imposed upon the American people to pay for the INTEREST AND NOT THE PRINCIPLE OF THE ” LOAN.”

(For the great majority of the history of the nation THERE WAS NO INCOME TAX.)

Given this system, the government is perpetually in debt, which means that the people of the country are perpetual debt slaves. The Income Tax was enacted to tax every citizen’s income to help pay down the debt owed to the Private Central Bank for printing our money.

Ronald Reagan spearheaded a commission do a study on the Federal Reserve, and they found that 100% of the Federal Income Tax goes directly to paying off the debt owed to the Federal Reserve for printing our money! (1984 Grace Commission)

Remember that for many years the gov’t printed their own money at 0% interest to the people, and there was no income tax on the labor of the people. In fact, no law exists even today that says we must pay our Federal Income Tax!! There is no law! Furthermore, the IRS – the private enforcement arm for the Federal Reserve – similarly has NOTHING to do with the Federal Government!! Yet the IRS has more power than the FBI to prosecute and imprison American citizens!!

Two Presidents in history have attempted to print currencies for the people (at no interest) that would compete with the Central Banks of their time: Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy.

Hmm… What else do these two men have in common?

“Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws.” — Mayer Amsched Rothschild

The House of Rothschild is perhaps the most wealthy in the world – owning the majority of Europe since the mid 1800’s and much of the wealth throughout the world since.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.  The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” – Thomas Jefferson

Today we (those who have eyes to see things for what they are) are seeing the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson’s words while our banks and corporations have grown up around us like weeds and are choking the very life out of the people of the United States of America.

Obama Grants Interpol God-like Immunity

Monday, December 28, 2009

Executive Order — Amending Executive Order 12425

EXECUTIVE ORDER
- – - – - – -
AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,
December 16, 2009.

—

From the Beaufort Observer: Generally, foreign military and police organizations are restricted from operating in the United States without oversight by the CIA, FBI, Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security or though some other arrangement that makes such operations subject to U. S. authority. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12425 that allowed the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to operate in the United States but generally subject to the same laws that restrict CIA, FBI and other Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Specifically, INTERPOL agents were not immune from being prosecuted for violating American laws.

One of those laws is 42 U.S.C. § 1983 which prohibits law enforcement authorities from violating an American’s constitutionally protected rights. Presumably, that does not apply to INTERPOL as a result of this Executive Order President Obama has just signed.

The effect of Obama’s amendment is to give them immunity from violating any American law. Agents of INTERPOL will now presumably have the same protection that foreign diplomats have while in this country. It is that immunity that has been used by other countries to spy on the United States. This arrangement, for example, now would make it possible for an American citizen being seized by INTERPOL agents and taken out of the country outside the reach of American courts and the rights they would enforce, most notably habeas corpus or the right for a judge to review a person’s detention. The extent to which INTERPOL would be exempt from American extradition laws now becomes questionable.

Likewise, INTERPOL agents could seize property, including firearms, without search warrants and conduct other warrantless searches. They could break into homes and businesses to search and seize records without fear of prosecution, either criminally or civilly. In short, the powers that INTERPOL would have by being immune to U. S. law is virtually the same as martial law provides.

Moreover, INTERPOL’s files and records are immune from U. S. court orders, including search warrants and civil subpoenas. And INTERPOL is protected from Freedom Of Information inquires from American media.

—

The international policing agency known as Interpol now has more power than the FBI, CIA, local/federal police, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution & Bill of Rights!

Is this what our Forefathers fought and died for – so that our treasonous President(s) can hand over America’s sovereignty to foreign governing agencies?  

Why has Obama allowed this? Who is behind this recent move to expand the powers of Interpol – a foreign agency who has no right to conduct business on American soil whatsoever – to allow them absolute power over the American people, their personal property, their right to a fair and just trial before a jury of their peers, their right to be governed under the Constitution and Bill of Rights?

How long will we stand for this?

Health Care Revisited

Sunday, December 27, 2009

I’ve recieved a wide and varied response to my opposition to gov’t run healthcare recently.

Much of the negative response comes from folks who are calling themselves “Socialists”. This is not a term I’d apply to these people, nor to our gov’t healthcare reform. If the reasons why aren’t clear to you already, I’ll explain later in this installment.

First, let’s clear up some misunderstandings many have when discussing our new nationalized healthcare plan.

1. We will now have free healthcare for everyone in America.

Not true. In fact, everyone will now be REQUIRED to purchase healthcare from insurance corporations. If you refuse to take part in mandatory health care, you will be subject to fines (and a possible jail term – if the house version becomes law!).

The civil penalties are laid out in various sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that would be modified by the terms of the new law. For example, Section 6662(a) would assess a penalty of 20% of the amount of the underpayment of the tax. Section 6663 of the IRC would raise the penalty to 75% if the government can prove an attempt by the taxpayer to avoid paying the tax. If you make an underpayment that is “substantially incorrect,” then the penalty is a set $5,000.00. The government is a ruthless debt collector, as well, for it will charge a .5% interest rate compounded monthly for every month the tax is underpaid.

Not content with robbing you of your money, however, under the Pelosi plan, the IRS will rob you of your liberty, as well. Criminal prosecution is provided under the IRC (as amended by the terms of HR 3962) for failure to comply. There is a misdemeanor level of disobedience and a felony level. The punishment for a minor violation is set forth in Section 7203. “Misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year.” For those really hardcore healthcare criminals, the punishment is a fine up to $250,000 and/or five years in jail. You’ve read it right. If the Health Care Commissioner decides your policy isn’t Pelosi-friendly and you don’t make the appropriate changes to it, then you may do time.

Those of us who don’t pay our health insurance bill in full will be subsidized by the rest of us who do.

2. I’m now going to recieve care that I was previously denied!

Sounds good! I wonder where people got this notion?

As currently written, the Senate Democratic health care bill would permit insurance companies to place annual limits on the dollar value of medical care, as long as those limits are not “unreasonable.” The bill does not define what level of limits would be allowable, delegating that task to administration officials.

This loophole alone allows for large scale denial of services.

3. I’m now going to be covered for pre-existing conditions!

Please refer to #2. You are covered so long as the gov’t says so! Fortunately, we all know that the gov’t would never go back on it’s word…

4. Every American deserves healthcare!
Let me ask you a question: When our gov’t and private corporations team up to create laws, who benefits 99.9% of the time?

This healthcare “reform” offers insurance companies damn near total legal immunity! So if the insurance company screws you over (as they’ve been known to do in the past) you now have NO legal recourse whatsoever, whereas before Obamacare, you could put your legal rights into action and sue for damages.

5. This is socialism.

Both sides have claimed this new healthcare reform is socialism. Nothing could be further from the truth.

so⋅cial⋅ism

1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

What is happening with our current healthcare reform is clearly not socialism. In fact, it is something quite different altogether - this is a merger of government and corporate interests, a consolidation of power and wealth known as corporatism, or fascism.

Let’s recap: The healthcare reform that is taking place is not Constitutional (but then again, what does our gov’t do these days that is?) We are now forced to buy insurance from the same companies who’ve screwed us since their inception. We are forced to pay for services not rendered – potentially for years – by a government who has countlessly sold the American people out for the good of its corporate backers. This isn’t mandatory healthcare – it’s blatant thievery - and it will benefit the insurance corporations and our government well before it benefits us.

I’ve barely scratched the surface here. I haven’t gotten into patient’s rights, the right to choose alternatives therapies (that aren’t covered by gov’t healthcare), the right to refuse treatment, the right to refute insurance claims on your cash, the right to refuse mandatory doctor visits, mandatory vaccines, mandatory “death-care” consultation, etc.

If you are still excited about our healthcare reform, I hope time proves you right. As for me, I’m saving up for my upcoming fines…

There is no free lunch. Someone always has to pay! (Hint: It’s you.)

“The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. … Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers.” – Dr. Benjamin Rush

Merry Christmas America!

Thursday, December 24, 2009

We’re killing again!! Not only in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but now in Yemen!

But that’s not why we should feel blessed to live in America…

You see, we’ve got a loving government who cares for us and wants to keep us save and healthy.

Obama has spent more than any president in history, and he’s only been in office for a year! If that doesn’t spell “loving kindness” I don’t know what does!

But the nurturing doesn’t stop there! Our great leader is seeking to expand the Patriot Act! He’s going to keep us safe from all those “terrorists” who seem to be under every rock in America, on every Americans’ phone line, in every Americans’ email account, and library account, lurking… waiting for their moment to pounce! Thank you for keeping us safe from our freedoms Mr. Obama!

Does it get any better than this? Can Team Obama possibly bestow greater blessing upon the American people? “Yes, they can!”

Just in time for Christmas… Americans get to sit down at the hearth of oppression and unwrap the most wonderful gift of all! What could this be? “Free healthcare“!! Well, it’s not really free – it will cost you one your most personal rights – the right to govern your health as you see fit.

The Obamacare bill has been passed!! Both versions – the House and Senate – and all that’s left now is to sort of the sordid details. Dennis Kucinich (D – Ohio) has declared this healthcare bill a “Bailout for the Insurance Companies“. Is it any surprise that our government has yet again colluded with private industry to sell the People down the river?!

For those among us who believe that everyone deserves health care, I can understand your altruistic stance. My question to you is this: at what cost? The healthcare bills contain some very disturbing information regarding a severe loss of personal freedom, economic freedom, and freedom of choice. Are you willing to give up many of your personal medical rights, as well as sacrificing your financial freedom so that others will be obligated to live under these inhumane laws?

The government has no Constitutional right to impose mandated healthcare on society.

This guy says it better than I: I love being told that what someone else decides for me is in my “best interest”. I believe the last time that was an acceptable terminology in my life was prior to my 18th birthday, and I will no more allow some stranger to get away with strangling me with my own purse-strings than I would allow my own parents to do so now. My “best interest” is determined by me, and my market preferences, as I make my choices on a day to day basis. It is certainly not my responsibility to bow to the will of others, nor is it my responsibility to bear shackles for the “common man”.

Message from the US Government: “Merry Christmas America! We own you.”

Time for Non-Compliance

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

“Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.” –Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798

How do political climates change?

Someone among the People steps up in resistance. Others soon follow.

It is time we resist the fascist, corporate-coddling, dehumanizing, and unConstitutional rules and edicts handed down to us from our “public servants” on the hill.

Our forefathers fought and died for our right to a free society, wherein the People are endowed by our Creator with the right to live as we see fit so long as we do no harm to our neighbors or their property.

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.” –Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782

We have slowly allowed ourselves to drift away from the founding principles that molded our republic, allowing men who have no allegiance to the People to take over and dictate our day to day lives more and more with each bill they pass into law. The time to sit idly by as this degradation of our nation continues is passed! The time for resistance is now!

Americans have freedom of speech. We’ve got hate speech laws, “free-speech zones”, and corporate controlled press that gives us tiny shreds of the truth mixed with outright lies directly from the government.

Americans have the right to the pursuit of happiness.  We have the right to apply for permits to speak our minds in public (so long as we don’t say anything offensive to anyone on the planet), to get married, to build onto your house, to raise animals, to farm your land, to fish, to hunt, to broadcast, to drive a car, to publicly assemble, and probably 100 other things I’ve not named. Our children cannot pray in school.

Americans have the right to keep and bear arms.  Americans must keep their guns concealed, permitted, logged, and under lock and key at all times. We must beg permission from our government to allow us to keep certain firearms, ammunition, and to be able to use them under very strictly controlled conditions. Now, if a thief breaks into your home and you protect your family and possessions using force, you are liable!!

“The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that… it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.

We have the right to be secure in our home and our effects without unreasonable searches and seizures, which required a ruling by a judge, based upon an oath or affirmation of probable cause. Now, we’ve got “knock and talk”, loss of habeas corpus, we’ve got the Patriot Act, and FISA, which allows government unrestricted access to nearly every detail of our lives – without your knowledge! We’ve got programs encouraging neighbors to turn in one another for alleged crimes, or even for suspicious activity!! They’ve turned us against ourselves! We no longer trust our neighbors. Due to this mistrust, we no longer know our neighbors! Neighborhoods aren’t what they used to be, eh?

“Freedom of the person under the protection of the habeas corpus I deem [one of the] essential principles of our government.” –Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801

We have the right to a fair and just trial by a jury of our peers, yet we can be jailed under suspicion of nearly any activity, held indefinitely without legal representation, and tried by a tribunal. President Obama is even considering jailing pre-crime suspects!!

“The legitimate powers of government reach actions only and not opinions.” –Thomas Jefferson to Danbury Baptists, 1802.

Our educational system no longer instills the values of the Constitution and Bill of Rights into our children. The result is a compounding generational loss of understanding of what it means to be truly free. We have lost our basis for judging right from wrong, opting instead for the musings of politicians, who rarely if ever base their actions on the Constitution or Bill of Rights. 

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” –Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816

We’ve been robbed. Our tax dollars for future generations to come have been spoken for by the current government – to save the bankers who never needed/deserved saving in the first place, to take over private industry and run it into the ground, to pass more and more legislation to further enslave the people of this nation and of the world.

“I consider the foundation of the [Federal] Constitution as laid on this ground: That “all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.” [10th Amendment] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” –Thomas Jefferson: Opinion on National Bank, 1791

Read the new health care bill. Read the FISA Act, the Patriot Act, the dissolution of the Glass-Steagall Act, the blatant ignoring of the Posse Comitatus Act, the Banker bailout(s) or damn-near any Act passed in the last 50 years, and tell me honestly if we are living in a free country that is of the People, by the People, and for the People?

“The authority of the people is a necessary foundation for a constitution.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Hampden Pleasants, 1824

It is time for peaceful resistance. Unplug from the corrupt Left-Right paradigm that has kept us enslaved for over 100 years! Read the Constitution and Bill of Rights – get a thorough understanding of the founding principles of our republic. Vote out any and all politicians who refuse to vote with the Constitution/Bill of Rights, and get out in the streets and tell people the good news – we won’t take this anymore!!!!   

“I sincerely wish… we could see our government so secured as to depend less on the character of the person in whose hands it is trusted. Bad men will sometimes get in and with such an immense patronage may make great progress in corrupting the public mind and principles. This is a subject with which wisdom and patriotism should be occupied.” –Thomas Jefferson to Moses Robinson, 1801

Interview with Congressional Candidate Rachel Grubb

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Rachel Grubb is running for Indiana’s 3rd District Congressional Seat this election year. In preparation for this interview, Back in the USSA read up on Grubb’s positions and was happy to find that they are very much in line with Constitutional, Ron Paul-esque, pale0-conservative values. What follows is a recent interview we conducted with Mrs. Grubb:

BackintheUSSA: You are running to unseat current incumbent in Indiana’s 3rd District, Mark Souder. What made you decide to do this?

Grubb: As a lifelong Republican, I have noticed the way the political climate has changed over the last several years. What were once considered basic Republican values; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, have been corrupted with special interests and Non-government organizations running the show. Congress has abdicated several of their responsibilities outlined in the Constitution i.e the Federal Reserve coining money, the UN setting precedence over Congress relating to foreign policy, family rights, etc. This is something that needs to be addressed by our representatives and corrected. If our current congressman is voting 95% with party lines, how can he be trusted to stand up for the constitution? This, and the theft of the fruits of my labor to fund programs that I don’t support motivated me to stop being an armchair patriot and become an active participant in the political machine.

BackintheUSSA: If one were to add up the amount of money spent in congress via various bills in the last 6 years that Mark Souder has voted for, the total would be roughly around $3 Trillion. A good majority of these funds were allocated for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Banker Bailouts, and numerous Defense Appropriations, not to mention $5.7B for HR1388, the GIVE ACT. Looking at the sheer volume of money being spent, and where this money has been allocated, would you consider this a conservative approach to government spending? If not, what would you do differently from Souder should you be elected to represent the 3 rd District?

Grubb: I would not consider Mr. Souder’s voting record conservative in the least. If I am elected as Indiana’s 3rd District Representative, I would work to cease all foreign aid spending, to reduce and eventually eliminate entitlement programs (medicare, medicaid, etc.) to reduce military spending to eliminate private contractors from receiving any federal funds (they don’t conform to the rules of the military, why should they receive funds?) I would also work to return our monetary system to a “sound money” system , as envisioned by our founders. We can NOT spend our way out of debt. They only way to reduce debt is to reduce spending. Congress is spending like drunken sailors and need to be given an “intervention” so to speak.

BackintheUSSA: You are associated with the group “Retake Congress”. What can you tell us about that organization and why you chose to become involved?

Grubb: Retake Congress has the goal to eliminate all 535 seats in the House and Senate and replace them with statesmen who uphold the rule of law and guard the constitution against all enemies. They endorse a sound money policy, non-interventionist foreign policy and return to constitutional values.

BackintheUSSA: Many in the US are smitten with Ron Paul for his Constitutional basis, his willingness to buck the system, and his never-ending quest to END THE FED. If you were elected to congress, would it be fair to say that Ron Paul will have another ally in Congress? Why or why not?

Grubb: It is completely fair to say that I would be standing right with Ron Paul on his quest to End the Fed. For too long this private banking cartel has stolen the fruits of The People’s labor and inflated the monetary supply, and devalued the dollar to the point that the world banking associations are looking to dump the dollar as the standard measure of monetary exchange. A central bank was tried twice before the institution of the Federal Reserve and didn’t work then, so why would we think it would work now? The booms and busts that the Federal Reserve claimed they could prevent have not come to fruition. They have failed miserably in stabilizing the monetary supply and need to be fired.

BackintheUSSA: In early 2003, America invaded Iraq and engaged that nation in war. Now, nearly 7 years later, the US is still very much militarily involved in Iraq. Many politicians claim that Iraq is still unstable, and that we must stay there for many years to come to ensure the safety of the Iraqi people. What do you think of the initial invasion of American troops on sovereign Iraqi soil and what do you make of the argument that the world’s most powerful military has been unable to contain Iraq after nearly 7 years of occupying their land?

Grubb: One reason we have not been able to “win” the occupation in Iraq is because we have military personnel stationed in 142 countries in the world, they are stretched too thin and this has rendered them ineffectual.  Iraq is a “sovereign” nation and therefore we have no business being involved in setting their policy or enforcing “democracy” through the barrel of a gun. The founders stated that our Republic should have a non-interventionist foreign policy. We trade and talk with other nations, but we don’t get involved in their private affairs. Iraq is perfectly capable of running their own country and should be allowed to do so.

BackintheUSSA: President Obama has pledged to ramp up military efforts in Afghanistan. If you were in congress today, what would you have to say to the President about the ongoing war in Afghanistan?

Grubb: Endless wars promote debt. If we continue to poke a stick at other nations, eventually that behavior will come back to haunt us. It is called “blow-back”. The military uses this term to relate to unintended consequences of military action. We will rue the day that we decided to become the policeman of the world.

BackintheUSSA: It seems that more and more, our country has gotten away from its Constitutional Roots. Do you have any personal feelings about this?

Grubb: Yes, the Constitution is an almost perfect document. We are fast becoming a null country, and that is disturbing to me personally. I want to live the American dream and want future generations to have the opportunity to live the American dream also. This can only be accomplished by a return to the original intent of the Constitution – A nation by the peoplek, for the people and ruled by the people.

BackintheUSSA: Congressman Souder has been in the news from time to time concerning his lobbyist ties. Do you plan on having ties to lobbies at any time during your service to the 3rd District?

Grubb: No. We have become a country ruled by corporations. This has been accomplished, in large part, by lobbyists. To state I am a Constitutionalist that will use lobbyists is contradictory in nature and goes against what I stand for.

BackintheUSSA: What would you say is the role of Congress? Is it defined by the Constitution, or by those who inhabit the halls of Congress, who seem to pick and choose their morals and rhetoric based on gaining votes/making money for themselves and the cronies who back them?

Grubb: The main role of congress is to protect the liberties of the general public.  Congress has not only become the policeman of the world but also the policeman of the public. We no longer have the freedom to express dissent against the government(with or without merit) without fearing we will be locked up for that very speech. We no longer are allowed to carry firearms in public without fear of being illegally forced into submission. These core innate freedoms are GOD GIVEN – not man given, and certainly not allocated by Congress – and therefore cannot be taken away by men or by  congress.

BackintheUSSA: Judging by your previous answers, it is safe to assume you support auditing the Federal Reserve?

Grubb: Yes, this private banking cartel is not audited by the public. They handle all money to and from the government, therefore MUST be held accountable for how they procure those funds and how they are allocated. Once audited, and the truth of how the Federal Reserve has handed over our trillions of our dollars to foreign banks, I am fairly certain, the general public will call for an end to this unconstitutional organization.

BackintheUSSA: What do you say to women who claim it is a right to abort, or kill, their unborn child? What of the poorer classes who cannot afford to raise their children?

Grubb: I believe in the sanctity of life personally, but believe the abortion issue should be given to the states to decide as outlined in 10th amendment to the United States constitution.

BackintheUSSA: What makes you qualified to represent Indiana’s 3rd District?

Grubb: I am a strong conservative, I believe in the rule of law and understand the importance of following the constitution to protect the liberties of all Americans. I have had first hand experience of the consequences of unconstitutional bills i.e NAFTA, the stimulus etc.

BackintheUSSA: When Souder took office in the 90’s he claimed that he’d only serve up to 12 years. Since then, he’s gone back on that promise. There are many liberals and conservatives who feel that Souder has gone back on many more promises than this! What makes you different? How can we know you’re not just another politician who will roll over as soon as you set foot in Washington?

Grubb: I am not a politician and therefore will not act like one. I am a regular person and being fresh on the political scene, I’m  not subject to the frailties of spending too much time in Washington.

BackintheUSSA: What would you say to swing voters who are on the fence about Souder, Hayhurst, and the other candidates? Why should these folks vote for you?

Grubb: For too long we have allowed politicians and lawyers to set policy that doesn’t promote liberty and protect those God given rights set forth in the Constitution. Why continue to vote for more of the same? I believe the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result” It is time to end the insanity.

BackintheUSSA: News reports indicate that unemployment in the 3rd District is rising. What would you point to as the main causative forces behind this and how would you go about assuaging them as our Congresswoman?

Grubb: NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, WTO are all implicit in allowing jobs to flow from the US at a rate akin to water through a sieve. These international agreements are detrimental to the idea of a free market. A truly free market will regulate itself. We have no need to micro manage something that will monitor itself. In order to stop the free flow of jobs from the US we have to first get the US out of the UN, then get the UN out of the US. We also need to withdraw from all NGO’s and repeal all legislation related to those NGO’s. This is a good first step. We also need to make it appealing to corporations to keep their organizations in the US. This is accomplished by tax breaks and other means.

BackintheUSSA: Is there any point that hasn’t been covered that you’d like to address?

Grubb: The government is put in place to protect our liberties, not to manage, enact laws or set policy to strip us of those liberties. It is high time  the Congress and Senate remember their oath of office and protect those rights endowed by our Creator.

BackintheUSSA: Where can folks go to get involved with the campaign?

Grubb: www.rachel4congress.info. There are also strategy meetings every Thursday evening at 7pm located at Golden Corral on Lima Road. There is a glassed in meeting room in the back left corner of the main dining room.

Note: Indiana’s primary is April 05, 2010. Mark  your calendars!
