This country went under the War Powers for the last time on March 9, 1933, and we have been under emergency rule ever since.

This information is going to turn many of you on your ear. Its going to make you mad, as it should — as I hope it does.
Let me ask you a question. Why do you think our president, the Congress, the courts and the federal government as a whole are descending into unlawful dictatorial usurpation of power with no hint of accountability or recompense? Why is the Executive office of a man of lawlessness able to fundamentally change our nation from a Constitutional Republic into a Marxist/Communist dictatorship? Why can he and his handlers transform our once just nation under the Rule of Law into a nation of lawlessness and rebellion, unrestrained?
I'll tell you why. And no, it assuredly didn't start with the current Obama regime, or even the Bush, Clinton or Reagan regimes. No, it started way, way before.
It started with the War Powers.
Let's take a trip down the memory hole of history to discover — some of you for the very first time — the foundational pieces set in place in a giant game of chess in order to checkmate the American people and subject us and our future posterity to a life of indentured servitude. In this article I will attempt to lay out the actions taken by our government which define all American citizens as enemy combatants under the federal system known as the UNITED STATES CORPORATION.
Our nation has been bankrupt since 1867 with the Reconstruction Acts, and the bankruptcy has been renewed ever since. Following that, the Organic Act of 1871, "an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia," effectively made our federal government into a corporation, and that was the first sweeping violation of the Constitution of the United States of America, and an open act of treason by our federal government against the People. However, we're going to focus on more recent events, and connect the dots of the present to the past.
Emergency Powers Statutes
Senate Report 93-549, entitled EMERGENCY POWERS STATUTES: Provisions of Federal Law Now In Effect Delegating To The Executive Extraordinary Authority In Time of National Emergency, was issued on November 19, 1973, by the Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency pursuant to Senate Resolution No. 9 — 93rd Congress, 1st Session.
From the foreword of Senate Report 93-549:
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971. These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners."From the introduction of Senate Report 93-549, Section A - A BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE ORIGINS OF EMERGENCY POWERS NOW IN FORCE:
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency . . . in the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crises have — from, at least, the Civil War — in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency."Again from the Foreword:
"This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes. Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."These treasonous words, which levy war upon the American people, come directly from our government's own document. James Madison said that, "War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits." Where did we go wrong? I'll tell you where.
Dr. Eugene Schroder, the preeminent expert on this subject, found the key to why our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights are violated on a daily basis with no adherence to the law. It is the insidious use of "Emergency Powers" meant to be used only in time of invasion or rebellion. His landmark research is documented in three books: Constitution: Fact or Fiction; War and Emergency Powers Special Report; and War, Central Planning and Corporations - The Corporate State.
Watch Dr. Eugene Schroeder's speech on the War and Emergency Powers Act before the Wallace Institute at Santa Clara, California, in June of 1998: Part 1, and Part 2; also, his unforgettable May 3, 1995 broadcast on The Hour of the Time regarding the War Powers of Government.
Dr. Schroder proved with the government's own documents that the Constitution has been set aside since 1933, and thereby effectively nullified. Eleven presidents, both Democrat and Republican, have used emergency powers for the last 81 years — through Executive Orders, Presidential Proclamations, or through their many federal agencies — to regulate our daily lives without the inconvenience of Congressional approval. The definition of "emergencies" has been stretched to include economic problems, social imbalances, and perceived threats to the United States by any foreign nation's actions, even those on other continents far removed from our own.
American People Declared Enemies of the State
The cited report began on March 9, 1933, when our country was placed under a declared state of national emergency by the United States Congress. All 48 states approved the War and Emergency Powers Act based on a financial crisis. In order to do that, the Congress amended an Act of October 6, 1917, called the Trading With the Enemy Act.
Upon the amending of that act, the American people and all of their financial transactions were declared to effectively be enemy transactions. And under this act the office of the President of the United States was granted total authoritarian control over every aspect of our economy.
Simply put, this act illegally transformed the presidency into a dictatorship.
It is critically important that we all understand this. What is even more critical to understand is to go back in history and find out specifically where the Trading With the Enemy Act came from.
Alien and Sedition Acts
The Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, originated in an act of 1798. That act was called the Alien and Sedition Acts, which was the product of the northern Federalist industrialists (who were allied with Great Britain) declaring economic warfare on the Anti-Federalist agrarian southerners (who were allied with France).
This Act said amongst other things that the French were enemies of the United States, and declared that any Frenchman who was doing business within the United States was an enemy of the State, and that the president would assume legal control over those transactions.
It also went so far as to say that any person who gave aid and support to a Frenchman was also an enemy of the United States. So it was due to the passing of the Alien and Sedition Acts that many of the Anti-Federalist agrarian southerners were retroactively made to fall under the parameters of enemies of the United States, and were placed under the executive war powers that were under the pretense of the war between France and Great Britain.
So you see, very early on in the United States, even shortly after the signing of the Constitution, these Acts were implemented which — at the stroke of a pen — criminalized otherwise law-abiding American citizens by association, and forfeit their private property for federal seizure by illegitimate retroactive legalization. It is extremely perilous when a governing body can declare an ethos, race, or nationality an enemy of the State with no due process of law.
The U.S. Supreme Court did this in the 1857 case, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, when it declared that negroes were not human beings. And its even worse when the same governing body levies war upon its own citizens who have done business with whatever group it deems to be dangerous to its foreign and domestic policy.
It is dangerous when a president acting under executive War Powers can execute total authoritarian control over a people, and write criminal statutes defining what they can and can't do financially, and if they have violated these statutes whatsoever, punish them criminally under those acts.
And it was because of this treason that our country nearly went into a civil war directly following these Acts which were installed right after the passage of the Constitution.
The Kentucky Resolutions
Thomas Jefferson's writings in the Kentucky Resolutions, which were written in November of 1798, dealt specifically with the emergency War Powers that were implemented for the very first time in this country via the Alien and Sedition Acts.
The following excerpt of the Resolutions were proposed to the Kentucky Legislature, and this version was adopted on November 10, 1798, as a protest against the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by Congress. Thomas Jefferson did not make known to the public the fact that he authored them until years later.
This represents one of the clearest expressions of his views on how the Constitution was supposed to be interpreted.
Resolutions 1 and 2:
1. Resolved, That the several States composing, the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes — delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral part, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.
2. Resolved, That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations, and no other crimes, whatsoever; and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” therefore the act of Congress, passed on the 14th day of July, 1798, and intituled “An Act in addition to the act intituled An Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States,” as also the act passed by them on the — day of June, 1798, intituled “An Act to punish frauds committed on the bank of the United States,” (and all their other acts which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution,) are altogether void, and of no force; and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and, of right, appertains solely and exclusively to the respective States, each within its own territory.
Read the full text here.Analyzing what Jefferson was saying on behalf of the state of Kentucky in these resolutions was that the fundamental basis for the federal government passing the Alien and Sedition Acts was the defining of crimes against the United States, punished by the executive branch of the federal government. These crimes identified by the federal government were not included in the four crimes in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. Because, you see, every single criminal power over which is granted to the federal government is defined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
As a further check and balance, the Tenth Amendment clarifies: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The Tenth Amendment, the great high wall built around a central government, was known to the Constitutional Convention as the "Quarantine Amendment." The state of Massachusetts, whose delegates felt that the restraint of the federal government was paramount, would not join the United States unless the Tenth Amendment was accepted as part of the Bill of Rights.
Legal Federal Criminal Powers
This is precisely what Jefferson and the state of Kentucky were talking about when they issued these Resolutions. They enumerated that the federal government can only legally preside over four criminal powers. And those are:
1. The power to punish treason.
2. Counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.
3. Piracies and felonies committed on the high seas.
4. Offenses against the laws of nations.And they have no other criminal power whatsoever under the Constitution. So therefore, when the federal government implemented these acts and granted itself new jurisdictional powers over other actions it declared to thenceforth be illegal, was essentially the initiation of a dictatorship at the highest office of the federal government of the United States: the Executive office.
It goes without saying, then, that any federal crime that is outside the scope of the four enumerated powers listed above, which are the ONLY crimes granted the federal government to preside over — Article I, Section 8, which has never been amended nor repealed — are totally outside the authority of the Constitution and are being implemented under the Trading With the Enemy Act of March the 9th of 1933.
And that law is now permanently codified in 12 U.S. Code § 95b - Ratification of acts of President and Secretary of the Treasury, under which the president was granted the power to issue any executive order he wished, and those executive orders would be automatically approved and confirmed by the Congress.
So, with the amending of the Trading With the Enemy Act, the president was given broad executive power to wage war on the American people, and that brings us to May the 18th, 1934. On that date, the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, issued a message to the Senate on the perceived menace of the uncontrolled manufacture of arms and munitions. And in this message, Roosevelt told the Senate that they had to have the power to create crimes against certain predetermined federal organizations and agencies as a pretext for what he did next.
Theft of the Legal Money System
Also on March 9, 1933, FDR presided over the introduction of the treasonous Emergency Banking Relief Act, which declared a four-day bank holiday that shut down the banking system of the nation using economic stabilization as a ruse to steal America's wealth through fraud. Passed during the fallout of the Great Depression — which was engineered by the Federal Reserve's private shareholders — the Act broadened the powers of the President and greatly expanded presidential authority during just about any cobceivable crisis.
Not even one month later, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933, which retroactively criminalized the possession of monetary gold by any individual, partnership, association or corporation, "forbidding the Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States," and "Requiring Gold Coin, Gold Bullion and Gold Certificates to Be Delivered to the Government." Remember that whoever owns the gold makes the rules.
Contrary to this illegal act, the Constitution, in Article I, Section 10, states explicitly that, "No state shall . . . emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts."
On May 18, 1934, the same day on which he wrote the Senate, Roosevelt also issued Statement 88 on Signing the Crime Bill, which the need to sign a bill that would empower the federal government to wage a war on organized crime and gangsters.
The War on Crime
That's right, on May 18, 1934, under the newly-granted executive power of the war powers, the president declared war on crime. And it was under this war on crime that the federal statutes began to infiltrate the states, identifying sweeping new lists of federal crimes.
Here are a few:
1. An amendment to the federal kidnapping statute to provide for the death penalty in the event of the injury of the victim.
2. A statute punishing the transmission of extortion threats in any form of interstate communications.
3. A statute making it a federal offense for a person to flee from one state to another to avoid prosecution of certain felonies.
4. A statute punishing the receipt of stolen goods.
5. An Act punishing the robbery of national banks, which is among the crimes written about in the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts.
6. A statute requiring registration of all rifles, machine guns, and sawed-off shotguns. Here we see that it was now declared a federal crime unless law-abiding American citizens registered their firearms.Recall the Ruby Ridge incident at the Weaver family's home. That siege and subsequent murder of Randy Weaver's 13-year-old son Sammy and wife Vicki, who was holding their 10-month-old baby daughter Elisheba, began with an alleged sawed-off shotgun that was supposedly one quarter of an inch too short to fall under federal regulations and federal criminal statutes.
Also, if we recall the Waco massacre, we remember that the Branch Davidians were initially being investigated because they allegedly had machine guns and machine guns parts on the premises that were not registered, even though their county sheriff had personally inspected and verified that no illegal weapons were on the premises.
Both of those federal violations originated from the war on crime under the War Powers of 1933, and were implemented in May of 1934.
7. A statute and an Act making it a federal offense to assault a federal officer.
8. An Act authorizing agents of the Department of Justice to carry firearms.Here we see the state criminal police power relinquishing to the federal criminal police power, all under the war on crime.
9. An Act to protect certain types of trade and commerce against intimidation and racketeering.
10. Various statutes for improving the outworn and archaic federal criminal procedures.Here we see the statutes being passed, which allow for the federal criminal jurisdiction to come within the states. But also very important is a statute, "...granting congressional consent to any two or more states that enter into agreements or compacts for the prevention of crime."
This whole war on crime and this whole federal criminal jurisdiction is critically important under the War Powers, because most of the citizens across the country are beginning to realize that the People and the states are being treated as if they were regions or territories of the federal government. Its almost as though they were corporations of the District of Columbia, and the federal government is using its declared executive War Powers to restrict the liberties of the people within the states, criminalizing natural human behavior with hundreds — if not thousands — of new criminal federal statutes.
And just as Jefferson reminded everyone in the Kentucky Resolutions, there were — and currently are — only FOUR criminal actions that the federal government can legally punish.
Yet, today we see that under the so-called "war on crime" and the War Powers, the beginning of a long list that defines many, many new federal crimes, and making it now possible for the federal agents who act as the federal police force to carry firearms and ammunition, in order to enforce these new criminal statutes.
I'm going to tie this whole thing together now.
The Pretext for Implementation
In speaking of the three key points, the War Powers, the war on crime, and the federal criminal jurisdiction, it is imperative to acknowledge what the federal government used as a pretext to bring it all in.
It is now important to understand the interstate compact agreements and the interstate compact acts. If we go to those acts, we have to go to June 6, 1934. We also have to go to our Constitution at Article I, Section 10, which is the prohibition against the states:
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything 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.
No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.
No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
The exceptionary clause would come into effect only if we were invaded, or if we were in imminent dangers as would not admit of delay. We also must realize that on March the 4th of 1933, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated as President of the United States, in his inaugural address he said he would ask for the War Powers that would be given to him, which would be just as great as if our nation were in fact invaded by a foreign enemy. And, as requested, on March the 9th of 1933 — only five days after FDR's inauguration — via Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 48, Statute 1, Congress delegated those powers to him under the Trading with the Enemy Act, or what was known earlier as the Alien and Sedition Acts.
Section 48, Statute 1 of this Act of March 9, 1933 is the exact same wording as Title 12, USC 95(b) quoted earlier, proving that we are still under emergency rule in a declared state of national emergency.
Sovereign States Become Federal Corporations
With this wartime decree, states could now enter into compacts with other states. And if we go back now to this war on crime, one of the federal statutes that was granted to do this was the authority from Congress for the states to enter into compacts for the prevention of crime, and for other purposes. As a result, the states began to enter into interstate compacts, all under the authority of the federal government. Once that happened — first to prevent crime, then later to do anything and everything, down to and including the uniform motor vehicle safety codes, environmental river basin water agreements, and every other code and compact that completely permeates the federal and state governments — they were now no longer individual sovereign states. They were now regions comprised of compacts of states that fell under the authority of federal statutes.
They were in essence federal corporations. And once they entered into the federal corporate status, then immediately the federal criminal statutes came over those states, and the jurisdiction of the federal police power was installed within the states. The exact same thing happened in 1798 when the Alien and Sedition Acts were imposed by the federal government and all those federal criminal statutes were passed onto the states in exactly the same condition.
As Mark Twain rightly observed, history may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
The reason that all of this is so critically important is because it is these very issues that caused in this country the Revolutionary War. It was this very same issue that caused the Civil War. It was this very same issue that caused the war levied against the People in 1933, which imposed this War Power government over us, and has ruled over us ever since.
And if We the People cannot ultimately resolve these issues — the issues which spark wars and revolutions — then we ultimately do not deserve to be under any other system.
That is why it is so important that all of us and our children acknowledge and understand these critical concepts as to how this federal government truly operates and what we the American people specifically must do to begin to overcome it.
In closing, as Jefferson stated so vividly in the Kentucky Resolves:
Redress of Grievances?
Up until now the states have done nothing in terms of answering these questions or reconciling the grievances of the people. The people have time and time again petitioned the President; they have petitioned the Congress; they have petitioned the Courts — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — to answer these questions, to answer for their actions outside of law, and to redress the grievances we have regarding this form of wartime government that was imposed upon us without our contract or consent.
But so far, none of those institutions have done anything to publicly come forth to even attempt to answer or redress the grievances, or to resolve the crisis that we have in this country.
With that in mind, there is only one party left that can now make the judgement, and that is We the People ourselves, for all other institutions of government are dysfunctional, rogue, lawless, and have granted themselves a monopoly on fear, intimidation, rulership and violence, via gross usurpations under assumed War Powers that were not delegated to it by the authority of the Constitution, nor by the People or the States respectively.
So now you know why the federal government can operate as an effective dictatorship outside of law, ignore your unalienable rights, steal your wealth and prosperity, establish corporate monopolies, engage in fraud and racketeering, illegally invade sovereign nations, seize privately-owned property, land and resources, and murder with impunity, all with little to no consequences, and sometimes even even rewards.
And it's nothing new. For instance, 18 Congressional Medals of Honor for bravery were awarded to the U.S. Army soldiers of the 7th Cavalry who participated in the heinous murder of 300 unarmed men, women, and children of the Lacota Nation at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, on December 29, 1890.
This is from a letter to the White House from Chief Wahweve Black Eagle, leader of the Walpapi Paiute, who is known for being the head war chief in the final Indian War of the North-West, known as the Sheepeater War in America:
Even More Proof
You want more proof? Go into any civilian court house, state house, police station, military command headquarters, or even the lobby of the Walt Disney Corporation. Look at the American flag on display. Is it wreathed in gold fringe? Then that institution is under the jurisdiction of Maritime/Admiralty law, and is therefore not subject to the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution for the United States of America.
It’s not to make the flag look more regal, but to make sure that those who are governed by the law of that institution are NOT governed by the Constitution, but by the bylaws of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION.
Speaking of the Constitution, I recently got back from a family trip up to Washington, D.C. for Memorial Day weekend. We visited the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Guess what I saw? The original documents of the "Charters of Freedom" are flanked by two Maritime Admiralty flags, signifying that the federal government is not operating under the only legally recognized law of the nation. It is operating under a foreign power.
See for yourself:
Not only that, but to deface or desecrate our national flag is a crime under U.S. Department of Justice Official Opinions of the Attorneys General, Volume 34, (1926, pp. 483-487) - Military Flags; U.S. Code Title 4, Chapter 1 - THE FLAG; and U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 33, § 700 - Desecration of the flag of the United States; penalties.
This is even more undeniable proof that our country has been under martial law — a state of national emergency declared by the president — probably since the Civil War, but unquestionably since 1933.
Are you sure your flag is still there? Is this really still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Is it?
So now you know the true reasons behind why the president can rule as a Pharaoh with impunity; why the federal government can install openly communist ideology as the majority of its foreign and domestic policy in accordance with the promise and vision of the UN's founders [Look up Alger Hiss, the convicted communist agent and Soviet spy who penned the United Nations Charter, a document which mirrored nearly word-for-word the constitution of the Soviet Union]; why the Bureau of Land Management (which is funded by a private foreign trust) can aim sniper rifles at unarmed civilians in Nevada in a standoff over the illegal federal seizure of public state lands to be handed over to the ENN Group, a Chinese energy corporation; why the president can arrange for the release of one U.S. military deserter in exchange for five top Taliban terror operatives who are collectively responsible for the deaths of thousands of Shiite Muslims; why 42 Democratic "so-called" representatives of the people have just signed on to repeal the First Amendment of the Constitution, which is our power of the pen.
For a more in-depth study of this and more information, watch the following documentary by James Rink of supersoldiertalk.com, entitled, Change is on the Horizon - Dawn of the Golden Age (2:56:46)
For those who can see the writing on the wall, it’s all starting to make sense. All signs point to the fact that We the People, through creeping incrementalism, have become enemies of the State.
I still have hope, however, that the sleeping giant will soon awaken. If you do not wake up soon to the realities of which we face, then our children and grandchildren will surely live as slaves to a system of world-wide totalitarian socialist government, from cradle to grave, and they will never know the blessings of peace.
What is it going to take for the American citizenry to awaken from our long slumber and to embrace Thomas Paine's requirement for the freedom of our future posterity, that "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace?"
They are depending on us. May God have mercy on us if we fail them.
Sovereign States Become Federal Corporations
With this wartime decree, states could now enter into compacts with other states. And if we go back now to this war on crime, one of the federal statutes that was granted to do this was the authority from Congress for the states to enter into compacts for the prevention of crime, and for other purposes.

That is why it is so important that all of us and our children acknowledge and understand these critical concepts as to how this federal government truly operates and what we the American people specifically must do to begin to overcome it.
In closing, as Jefferson stated so vividly in the Kentucky Resolves:
"...the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress."So you see, under the law of nations, each party has the right to judge for itself what the right and wrong of the situation is. With that in mind, the people if this United States have for decades petitioned the states to begin to answer these questions and to begin to restore the Constitution of the United States to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the Land.
Redress of Grievances?
Up until now the states have done nothing in terms of answering these questions or reconciling the grievances of the people. The people have time and time again petitioned the President; they have petitioned the Congress; they have petitioned the Courts — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — to answer these questions, to answer for their actions outside of law, and to redress the grievances we have regarding this form of wartime government that was imposed upon us without our contract or consent.

This is from a letter to the White House from Chief Wahweve Black Eagle, leader of the Walpapi Paiute, who is known for being the head war chief in the final Indian War of the North-West, known as the Sheepeater War in America:
"The Massacre of Wounded Knee became a symbol for my people, the Lakota Nation, of the lies and deceit of the 'Great White Father in Washington' and the U.S. Government. Their words of encouragement and promises of help and peace were seen for the malevolent intent hidden behind the facade. As more and more land promised to us forever was taken away on the whims of Congress, our place to live became smaller and our pain and confusion grew. The mass graves at Wounded Knee became a symbol to us to never forget and never to trust again. The voices of our slain relatives can still be heard, crying out from soil, the waters, the air, and we vow time and time again to never forget, to be strong, to help our nation heal and live well again."
Tell me, what has changed?
None of this treason was committed in secret. None of it is a conspiracy. No, it was all done out in the open, perpetrated in the halls of the House and Senate, introduced and voted for on the congressional floor, read into the congressional record, and is documented in the law, the congressional record and the federal register. The perpetrators are hiding their crimes in plain sight, but it is all only hidden from those who are too busy, apathetic and indifferent to spend the time to understand what edicts have been declared on their behalf without their knowledge and consent.
However, apathy and ignorance are no defense of Liberty, nor are they any hint of deterrent against the onslaught of tyranny.
German Lutheran pastor and theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism, said:

German Lutheran pastor and theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism, said:
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."President Abraham Lincoln said:
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
And Thomas Jefferson, our third President, wrote in his Resolutions Relative to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798:
"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."American broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow was correct in his assumption that:
"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."And indeed it has.
Even More Proof
You want more proof? Go into any civilian court house, state house, police station, military command headquarters, or even the lobby of the Walt Disney Corporation. Look at the American flag on display. Is it wreathed in gold fringe? Then that institution is under the jurisdiction of Maritime/Admiralty law, and is therefore not subject to the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution for the United States of America.
Speaking of the Constitution, I recently got back from a family trip up to Washington, D.C. for Memorial Day weekend. We visited the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Guess what I saw? The original documents of the "Charters of Freedom" are flanked by two Maritime Admiralty flags, signifying that the federal government is not operating under the only legally recognized law of the nation. It is operating under a foreign power.
See for yourself:
Not only that, but to deface or desecrate our national flag is a crime under U.S. Department of Justice Official Opinions of the Attorneys General, Volume 34, (1926, pp. 483-487) - Military Flags; U.S. Code Title 4, Chapter 1 - THE FLAG; and U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 33, § 700 - Desecration of the flag of the United States; penalties.
This is even more undeniable proof that our country has been under martial law — a state of national emergency declared by the president — probably since the Civil War, but unquestionably since 1933.
Are you sure your flag is still there? Is this really still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Is it?
So now you know the true reasons behind why the president can rule as a Pharaoh with impunity; why the federal government can install openly communist ideology as the majority of its foreign and domestic policy in accordance with the promise and vision of the UN's founders [Look up Alger Hiss, the convicted communist agent and Soviet spy who penned the United Nations Charter, a document which mirrored nearly word-for-word the constitution of the Soviet Union]; why the Bureau of Land Management (which is funded by a private foreign trust) can aim sniper rifles at unarmed civilians in Nevada in a standoff over the illegal federal seizure of public state lands to be handed over to the ENN Group, a Chinese energy corporation; why the president can arrange for the release of one U.S. military deserter in exchange for five top Taliban terror operatives who are collectively responsible for the deaths of thousands of Shiite Muslims; why 42 Democratic "so-called" representatives of the people have just signed on to repeal the First Amendment of the Constitution, which is our power of the pen.

This is an excerpt from The Counselor, January 4, 1974, p. 243:
Senator declared that people would have acted if truth known.
(Washington) Senator George Malone, Republican of Nevada, was a thorn in the side of United States leftists, and they despised him. According to research by Omni Publications, Malone once commented:
"I believe — I actually believe this — that if the people of this nation suddenly, fully understood what the Congress has done to them over the years, they would move on Washington. They would not wait for an election. It all adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States."For those of you who can't see the writing on the wall, nor discern the signs and the times, then I fear that it may be too late for you. And if you are still putting your hopes in our fallen political system to turn this around in the next election, then you are living in the land of OZ and haven't yet seen the man behind the curtain who is really pulling the levers of power. It is time to remove the scales from your eyes and from your heart.
I still have hope, however, that the sleeping giant will soon awaken. If you do not wake up soon to the realities of which we face, then our children and grandchildren will surely live as slaves to a system of world-wide totalitarian socialist government, from cradle to grave, and they will never know the blessings of peace.
What is it going to take for the American citizenry to awaken from our long slumber and to embrace Thomas Paine's requirement for the freedom of our future posterity, that "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace?"
They are depending on us. May God have mercy on us if we fail them.

ReplyDeleteOUR DEAR LORD,says YOUR GOVERNMENT IS "ROTTEN TO THE CORE,TOP TO BOTTOM ,INSIDE AND OUT"..and if the LORD doen't know who does...america you been duped,the government is filled with commies and traitors,QUIT KISSING THEIR BUTT.........................
ReplyDeleteYou really think we kiss their butts? No, we try to raise our families, work for little pay, try to enjoy what little bit there is to enjoy. The problem with Americans is that nobody can agree on anything. When people finally agree on something, something else happens to divide them again. Because America has become lazy and people think they are owed everything while hard working people get nothing. It's gone on too long and the people are fat, riddled with disease, cancer, tumors, etc. Americans want things now. Nothing good comes from that. People complain when it takes 5 minutes. No one can relax, yet they aren't doing anything. There are people who are involved, trying to change, yet they are stopped at every turn. Please don't accuse, or blame all Americans. One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch
Deletethis makes me sick
ReplyDeletethe players change, but the game remains the same
ReplyDeleteDuring the 4 day National Banking "Holiday", the people's gold coin(private property) was confiscated/stolen by the govt in total violation of the 5th amendment. There was NO just compensaton.
ReplyDelete"The War Powers Act of 1973 was approved by Congress over President Richard Nixon’s veto. The law limits the authority of the President to sent troops without Congressional approval into combat. Since 1933, the United states had been in a state of declared emergency. Past Presidents had the power to declare emergency status.However, most of the war powers issued before the War Powers Act of 1973 were drafted without congressional review or oversight." http://www.loc.gov/law/help/war-powers.php

Executive Order 6102 did not require gold to be given to the government.
ReplyDeleteIt required gold to be given to a “Federal Reserve Bank or a branch or agency thereof or to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System”. Member banks were then to deliver all gold coin owned or received by them to the Federal Reserve Banks of their respective districts.
- To the privately owned federal reserve banks.
Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), ruled that national security concerns trumped the individual rights of thousands of Japanese Americans.
