to De-Centralize American Power

I apologize up front for the length
of this column. But trust me; this one must be read and absorbed in
total!
Drastic situations demand drastic
measures. Democratic Socialists running Washington DC have the American people
on their heels as they launch a continuous barrage of attacks on all
fundamental American principles, values and rights. Their strategy of
attacking on every front all at once makes it impossible for the average
American to keep up, much less defend against the daily attacks on an issue by
issue basis.
Democratic Socialists are working at
a fever pace to dismantle the United States of America before the people can
mount a viable defense, and they are taking no prisoners. They are well
organized and well funded and American patriots will not stop them one bill at
a time.
In the year of our 233rd
birthday, the United States of America has officially reached the moment in
history when the centralized power vested in 546 career politicians no longer
serves the best interests of more than 300 million legal American
citizens.
The federal government no longer
exists at the pleasure of the states and their people, but rather as a
dysfunctional global dictatorship, an oligarchy of 546 career political thugs
ruling with an iron fist over 300 million dissenting
subjects.
Whether discussing the House, the
Senate, the Oval Office or the Supreme Court, the story is the same. Combined,
they make up 546 national leaders who fit in to one of two equally
unacceptable categories. Either leftists who don't care at all about the
people or their Constitution, or spineless faux conservatives who don't care
enough to stop the leftists.
The Founding Fathers knew that this
day would come and they prepared
accordingly.
“whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, [life, liberty and the individual freedom
to define and pursue happiness] it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new Government” – Declaration of
Independence
546 politicians are ignoring the
fact that the American people and the states do not exist or serve at the
pleasure of the Fed.
Unlike any other nation on earth,
our unalienable rights are not arbitrarily distributed or redistributed
by some centralized cast of elitist Ivy League lawyers interested only in
feathering their own nests at the expense of the people. Our rights are
endowed by our Creator and they are unalienable by men,
including all false messiahs.
In America, every man is free to
govern his own life. Only God is trusted with dominion over the affairs of
others. The Founders never entrusted freedom to 546 self-absorbed career
panderers. They entrusted freedom to the people and as a result, the power as
well.
But over 232 years, specifically the
last 100 years or so, the people have neglected their duty to keep a tight
reign on politicians driven only by greed and an unquenchable lust for power.
As a result, Americans are waking up in a country they barely recognize today
and they don't like what they see.
Destructive of These
Ends
“Destructive of these ends” is a
gross understatement today!
As Americans awaken from their deep
slumber, they find that the federal government has become so destructive of
these ends that life has been replaced with a right to kill -- individual
liberty replaced by a false promise of some greater communal good, --
and happiness is defined by 546 career politicians rather than 300 million
citizens.
Americans have not only lost their
unalienable right to life, liberty and happiness, they don't even have a right
to a constitutional president anymore and not one member of the House, Senate
or Supreme Court gives a damn.
Ideally, the time to have saved our
free-market economy would have been before 546 politicians bankrupted it. The
time to have saved the private banking and auto industries would have been
before the Fed bankrupted them and confiscated control. The time to have
defended freedom would have been before we traded it in for a false promise of
free-stuff. The time to worry about constitutional qualifications for
president was before Obama became an unconstitutional president. And at this
late date, the time to protect our Second Amendment rights is before they
register and confiscate our guns.
The time for serious action has
arrived.
The People Must Alter or
Abolish
Too much is too far gone now. It
took politicians seventy years to put the most prosperous nation on earth a
trillion dollars in debt. It took our nations least productive citizens less
than four months to increase that to more the TEN TRILLION in debt. At that
rate, six months is more than we can afford of this illegitimate
regime.
Before we have no choice but to
abolish it all and start over again from a state of complete anarchy, the
people must take the necessary steps to alter that which has gone wrong and
right this ship before 546 career criminals finish sinking it and we don't
have a moment to waste...
The People are the
Answer
Washington DC must be stripped of
the power it uses to abuse the states and the people. The federal government
was contracted to function at the pleasure and benefit of the people and their
states. They have breached that contract and broken that trust. They now
expect the people and the states to exist and function at the pleasure and
benefit of the Fed.
Don't waste another phone call or
email on one of the 546 elitists in DC - all of whom are part of the problem.
The people are the ONLY solution and they don't need the approval of career
political criminals to retake control of their
country.
They only need their silver bullet
and the will to use it!
Over 60% of the federal budget is
now nothing more than unconstitutional waste. It will end the minute the
people take back control of the money used to fund it.
The 16th Amendment is the
silver bullet, but do we have the will to use
it?
The Single Shot
Solution
Complex problems require a simple
solution! Complex solutions are never successfully implemented. The clock
usually runs out before you can get everyone on the same
page.
I refer to the single shot solution
as the Donald Trump solution. Trump is a well known successful American
business man. His true claim to fame is the fact that he has perfected the art
of selective bankruptcy.
Non-productive entities are saddled
with unwanted debt and liability, while productive assets are shifted to
“keeper” entities worth saving. Then the debt and liability loaded entity is
bankrupted, leaving Trump's personal wealth intact. It's brilliant! Our Fed is
doing it with Chrysler and GM as we
speak.
The same plan must be implemented to
save our country. In order to save our union, we will have to dump some
liabilities and some non-producing
assets.
It's now clear even to many Obama
supporters, that the leftist Fed is going to bankrupt every American unless
the people bankrupt the Fed first. The tide is shifting... As of this morning,
only 33% of Americans polled still “strongly approve” of Obama's leftist leap.
35%, a small majority now “strongly disapprove.”
( see
trends)
The people have no choice but to
bankrupt the Fed before the Fed finishes bankrupting every American with a
laundry list of unfunded leftist spending
bills.
De-Centralize the
Power
97% of the federal budget is funded
by unconstitutional income taxes made possible by the 16th
Amendment of 1913. Repealing the 16th Amendment means instantly
removing 97% of federal funding and eliminating the Feds means of directly
confiscating personal earnings and assets to fund their Marxist
agenda.
Prior to the passage of the
16th in 1913, the Fed operated at the pleasure of the states. The
states collected and donated funds to the Fed for initiatives approved and
assigned by the states. After passage of the 16th, the Fed no
longer needed to serve the states or the people in order to receive funding.
With or without the people's approval, the Fed was free to confiscate whatever
it wanted from the states and the people.
That hasn't worked out in the best
interest of the people or the states.
To reverse it all, we simply reverse
the 16th which made it all possible. Without 97% of its funding and
no means to confiscate any more private wealth, the Fed is instantly out of
business.
The Power is Returned to the States
and the People
Less than 10 states are in so much
fiscal trouble that they cannot survive without federal funding. All of them
are bastions of leftist leadership, rotten with leftist policies that have
bankrupted their local and state governments, leaving them dependents of the
Fed, or more accurately, the other 40
states.
The other 40 states will be far
better off without heavy handed federal intrusions. Saving the 40 states is as
easy as letting the Fed and the other 10 states that have already bankrupted
themselves with leftist policies. Belly up! It's the Trump
Solution.
As the Constitution will be
reinstated by this move, the states will once again hold the power and the Fed
will once again be forced to operate at the pleasure and benefit of the
individual states. They have no money, no power, to do
otherwise.
The REAL Power of the
People
The real power of the people is not
in their vote or even the money they send politicians at election time. It's
in their ability to use their local state legislators to force the Fed back
into compliance with the contract between the states and the central power in
Washington DC, the Constitution. Read Obama Re-Unites the
States!
The Founders opposed
unbridled centralized power, and now modern Americans can see why with their
own eyes. So, it's time to de-centralize American power. To remove all power
from the runaway federal ape and place it back into the hands of the people at
the state level.
He who controls the money controls
the power. The Fed's ability to tyrannize the people and the states is only
possible under the 16th Amendment, which gives the Fed the power to
confiscate private wealth at will. Without that amendment, without unfettered
access to the earnings of others, the Fed is powerless and the people are back
in charge.
Do We the People have the
Will?
Sooner or later, the people will
muster the backbone to do what our nation's Founders would have already done.
The open question is - must every American be bankrupted by the Fed before
they will get in the mood to let the Fed belly
up?
The people have known for some time
that defunding the Fed would force the Fed into constitutional compliance, or
put them out business. But fearful of their government and its IRS, they dare
not defund it directly and risk tax debtor's prison. It's no secret that the
IRS has more statutory tyrannical power than the FBI, CIA, ATF and DOD
combined. That's because without robbing the people of their money, none of it
can exist.
But working behind their state
legislators, who have also grown sick and tired of the federal abuses of
power, there are no such risks for the people.

What Difference Can
One TRUE Patriot Make?
The People MUST work
through State Legislatures
The people only have to move their
state legislatures into action. They don't have to deal directly with the
runaway Fed at all. Just cut them off like a child addicted to
self-destructive behavior. Stop enabling... If the people move their state
legislators to action, the states will take care of the
Fed.
More than 40 states are already
working on reclaiming state sovereignty and rights. The next logical step is
to cut off Fed power at the state lines. The most complete and immediate means
of cutting off Fed power is cutting off their funding by repealing the
16th Amendment, state by state if we have
to.
Repealing the 17th
Amendment would be the next natural order of business, re-establishing a
Senate that represents States rights again. Passage of the 17th -
also in 1913, ended state representation in Washington DC. To regain state
representation, state legislatures must reclaim their representative house,
the Senate.
The states could then revamp their
tax codes to manage their states without federal intrusions and the people
will be much better off with local governments solving local challenges.
At the moment, the Fed is operating
as a dysfunctional dictatorship running roughshod over the states and the
people with the “strong support” of only 33% of the population. How long did
546 career political fools think 300 million Americans were going to sit
quietly on their hands and fund this
nonsense?
Obama's Fed is wasting trillions in
taxpayer funds that they don't have, to bailout (buy up) private industry, all
to benefit their union buddies and international socialist friends. They are
able to get away with it only so long as the American taxpayer is willing to
bailout the Fed via punitive taxation.
No! - The time to de-centralize
American power and eliminate DC dictatorship over the people has arrived. The
people and the states are fed up and there isn't time to defend this country
one ill-conceived bill at a time, being rushed through congress before anyone
can even read the bill.
The people don't have to stand alone
against this federal gorilla run wild in DC. They can stand together behind
their state legislatures. It's the constitutional thing to do! It's the single
shot solution to a runaway Fed.
And once the people have control of
the government again, we can institute a new federal government that exists
and serves at the pleasure of the people and the states once
again.
It is the peaceful solution to an
otherwise dangerous situation that will only grow more violent as the people
are pushed against the wall. The time for serious peaceful action has arrived,
before only violent solutions remain!
Contact your state legislatures
TODAY and begin to work towards saving this nation while we still can! It's up
to the people to make it happen at the state level. If you want your country
back, you will have to take it back. The left will never give it
back!
