I believe the most important function of a country’s government is the monetary system. Operated honestly and efficiently it guarantees economic freedom and stability for the people. Unfortunately, most countries end up being enslaved because of manipulation by those in society who seek all power. Enter the International Bankers.
In the beginning when researching recorded history, I didn’t understand why our government would prop up Communists countries. Billions in foreign aid saved many but at the same time our money was making millionaires out of heads of states who kept their own people living in misery and starving. Why? I finally found one answer.
What little I learned about international affairs, I have often wondered why after World War 2 Churchill and Roosevelt sat down with Stalin and divided Europe. This happened in what was called the Yalta conference in the Ukraine – 1945. A big slice of Europe was given to Stalin (communism) and shortly thereafter, communism took over China. As a result, millions were enslaved, starved to death and murdered. When Castro was raising hell in Cuba the press (the lap-dog of the elite) in America was reporting that we had another George Washington in the making in Cuba. This was propaganda beneficial to the elite in their quest for world domination – spreading communism to enslave the world under a one-world government.
I discovered that in 1848 the International Bankers bankrolled and embraced radicals who invented and promoted communism. The agenda of bankers is to capture the monetary system of a country. The purpose? To control populations and to make money. First, population control is easy; rule by tyranny. Second, get governments to become socialistic thus becoming a huge voracious spending machine. It takes money to operate and governments turn to the bankers. This agenda was hidden from the American people because when you have money you control everything – enter the controlled press to keep us misinformed and academia to keep us stupid. Both were subverted – like most of our Constitution. Ditto, for the thieves in Congress.
Even though we have a Constitution people are ignorant of it and don’t know when political crimes are being committed. How can we have accountability? The politicians in government know this and do as they please. Type in “Corruption in Congress” on the internet – it’ll make you sick.
Another source is a book titled “Miracle on Main Street”. It has the Constitution in it and as you read, you can quickly flip to its pages to confirm what the author writes about the law. It’s fascinating reading. It’s a book you can’t stop reading.
Many years ago I was given a copy. The book explained everything there is to know of the U.S. monetary system. How it started, the battles that took place in Congress against those who represented the bankers; the meaning of money, the difference between U.S. Notes and Federal Reserve notes. Practically every bit of information in the book is never taught in all levels of schooling. In 1920, a professor at Harvard University (the bastion of socialism) Mr. Pound, introduced a new way of educating students about the Constitution. No more would schools teach the true meaning of the Constitution. They would teach “case” histories and “precedents.” The following is for high school dropouts like me:
Case Law: Law established by judicial decisions in particular cases, instead of by legislative action….(judicial activism)
Precedent: Any Act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations.
One fundamental axiom in law – not taught in law school – is an accepted principle that no Act or Statute can change anything in the Constitution. YOU are the only one who can change it. (5th Article – amendment process)
“An Act of Congress not authorized by the Constitution is not to be regarded as the supreme law of the land…and it is the DUTY of the federal courts to declare it unconstitutional.” (Ableman v. Booth, 16 L. Ed. 169)…in other words, an Act considered has to be in harmony with what the Constitution reads.
Many years ago I asked a law school graduate how many questions on the Constitution were asked in exams. He answered none. A bit later the discussion got heated and he snapped – “F….K the Constitution!” I would’ve whacked him but he weighed a good 75 lbs. more. I point this out because most in the field of law are ignorant of the Constitution. They learn the “establishment way.”
Example: Recently the Supreme Court reversed a ruling that prevented many of freedom of speech. Of course, this raised the ire of the communists in our society. Four judges voted against. Who is right? THE FIRST AMENDMENT! To think that four on the bench voted against free speech. Folks, President Pinocchio may have an opportunity to put more radicals on the court before he leaves office. YOU MUST STOP THE CONGRESS!
Another point: This decision by the court declared McCain-Feingold – some aspects of it unconstitutional. Think how deep-rooted the ignorance of the Constitution is – this is a glaring, stupid example how lawmakers legislate contrary to constitutional law.
Briefly, this is what the Court ruled 5-4 in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission :
The 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Finance Act, aka McCain-Feingold, banned corporations and unions from “electioneering communications” within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. Yesterday, the Justices rejected that limit on corporate spending as unconstitutional. Corporations are entitled to the same right that individuals have to spend money on political speech for or against a candidate. (Wall St. Journal – Jan. 22)
The following is excerpted from the web www.libertycoalition.net/culture-corruption-Congreess-John-W-Whitehead. From book written by Mr. Whitehead…italics are mine.
“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly Native American criminal class except Congress.” – Mark Twain.
The economy is in a tailspin. More than 860,000 people lost their homes in foreclosures in 2008, while more than three million foreclosure notices were sent out by mortgage lenders. Roughly 11 million Americans are out of work. And more than 37 million Americans, including 12% of our senior citizens, are living in poverty.
What are our representatives in Congress, many of whom are millionaires in their own right, doing about the toll this recession is taking on America’s lower and middle classes? For one thing, they’ve given themselves a $4,700 pay raise, which will cost the U.S. government (you) an additional $2.5 million this year.
That’s on top of their six-figure salaries and the millions in taxpayer dollars spent to maintain offices in their home state and in the nation’s capital, as well as other benefits such as free life insurance, a generous retirement plan for life, 32 fully reimbursed road trips home a year, and travel to foreign lands. (Speaker Pelosi gets a free government jet that costs $120,000 every trip home) Then there are the “extras,” including discounts in Capitol Hill tax-free shops and restaurants, $10 dollar haircuts, free reserved parking at Washington National Airport, use of the House gym or Senate baths for $100 a year, free fresh-cut flowers from the Botanic Gardens, and free assistance in the preparation of income taxes. And don’t get me started on the pitiful number of days they actually work, when they’re not off fundraising or campaigning for their next election.
I personally accompanied a union representative to a local U.S. Congressman’s office to deliver an envelope stuffed with money.
“…Yet even statesmen are not immune to the lure of power and money. Before long, the revolutionary ideal of “good government” led by public servants who act selflessly and promote the greater good, was overshadowed by a culture of corruption in Congress….
Today, many of our politicians live like kings (In the past, some elderly were eating dog food) Chauffeured around in limousines, flying in private jets (corporations) and eating gourmet meals all paid for by the American taxpayer, they are far removed from those they represent. Such a luxurious lifestyle makes it difficult to identify with the “little guy” – the roofers, plumbers and blue-collar workers who live from paycheck to paycheck and keep the country running with their hard-earned dollars and the sweat of their brows…one last excerpt…
Winston Churchill once said that “a politician thinks about the next election – the statesman thinks about the next generation.” It’s time for our elected representatives in Congress to stop acting like politicians and start remembering that they exist to serve the people, not themselves…end of excerpts…

Blatant corruption by the Congress goes back to the 1800s. I imagine if someone took all the ideas of reforming Congress and put it down on paper it would probably make a 50lb tome. Even honest public officials that tried reform were ousted or denigrated by the media. U.S. Representative Ron Paul is a fine example. He’s been trying for years to investigate the fed reserve but has always been demeaned as a crackpot by the communist in the media. Today, because of a more informed public, people are listening. He has legislation working its way in Congress to audit the fed for the first time. Don’t you think the owners of the fed are concerned?…we shall see…
“In America a new people had risen up without a king, or princes, or nobles, knowing nothing of tithes and little of landlords, the plough king for the most part in the hands of free holders of the soil. They were more sincerely religious, better educated, of serener minds, and of purer morals than the men of any former republic. By calm meditation and friendly councils they had prepared a constitution which, in the union of freedom with strength and order, excelled every one known before; and which secured itself against violence and revolution by providing a peaceful method for every needed reform. In the happy morning of their existence as one of the powers of the world, they had chosen justice for their guide.” – George Bancroft – History of the United States – 1886
In the previous article I touched upon something many before have advocated. But like hundreds of attempts to corral government nothing ever seems to work. Oh, once in a while some crumbs are thrown at us. Amnesty for one, but still alive. Cap n trade may go. A health bill in trouble. But to stop crimes and corruption that occurs in Congress every day? Very difficult – it may be too late. I cited repeal of the 17th Amendment. Return to the State Legislatures the right to select the two U.S. Senators. Most all corruption in the senate would cease. How do you bribe a State Legislature? No U.S. Senator would act on his own without the approval of the State. Just think, once again the State’s would have constitutional representation. The 9th and 10th Amendments would be revived…weren’t our Founding Fathers brilliant!
Type in the words 17th Amendment and inform yourselves if you haven’t already. You want to start raising hell? Call your state representative and ask for their thoughts; one quick way of learning how they feel about it. Don’t bother with your U.S. Congressional people – they’ll laugh at you. Should you not get a response from your state rep write a letter and say you are going to campaign against them next time around. They WILL respond. If not, get to work to oust them.
Type in the words “Repeal 17th Amendment” on the internet and you’ll get many articles concerning this subject.

Uncontrolled spending. Huge deficits. Bank Bailouts. Misinformation by the controlled press. Voter Fraud. Senatorial Bribes. Unconstitutional legislation. Subverted three Branches of Government. Criminals running Congress. Safety of our country in jeopardy. A president that ran on promises – not kept. Liberties curtailed…this is American government run by criminals today. Where does it end?
While We, the People, fight amongst ourselves as to which party of the two best represents the country, the sad truth is neither. It is no secret both are beholden to special interests, the military industrial complex, the media industrial complex, but above all – the International Bankers who own the Federal Reserve.
President Bush lied to the American people that he was a Conservative. His administration proved differently. In eight years he created huge deficits. When he started, the previous administration had left a $127 billion surplus. He spent and spent and created a deficit of $1.2 trillion dollars. He enhanced federalized education, a costly prescription program, wanted amnesty, submitted stimulus packages and delivered bailouts to his masters – the bankers. The Republican controlled Congress allowed this to happen. No matter who is president, Congress has the purse strings. At the time Republicans proved no difference between parties. They perpetuated big government. And to think that we treat these criminals with respect and ex-presidents like royalty. Most are despicable.
Now we have a person in the White House who has turned out to be incompetent. This guy is a taco with no stuffing – an empty shell. In three years as senator he was present only 150 days. The only experience he had was in the streets of Chicago. But he has a silver tongue. He tongued pretty close to 70 million people into voting for him. Even today, I saw a poll that 80% of the Democrats would still vote for him. But it doesn’t matter – both parties are criminal – and bankers don’t have to laugh all the way to the bank – they own it. When I refer to bankers it is the International Bankers.
How did all this happen? We’ve been kept ignorant by academia and the press. We were brainwashed into believing we were the most informed and educated people in the world. That was and is false. 90% of our people have never read the Constitution; 25% are illiterate. How are we supposed to know when government is lying? How are we to understand when crimes are being committed? We accepted, literally, what networks reported. All this is changing now. We are more informed and pay closer attention.
While asleep at the helm, “they” were changing our system to one that always fails – socialism! And if we’re not careful, we could become communistic. Sad part is that many in our country wouldn’t know what is happening because of state induced educational brainwashing. The takeover by government of private institutions should be a warning. Why do we allow presidents to administer contrary to law? How can one person (president) cause so much upheaval? Your Constitution doesn’t allow dictators. Why do we allow criminals to run Congress? The answer is NO ACCOUNTABILTY!
When our Founding Fathers brilliantly devised a Constitutional Republic based upon what’s considered the greatest document next to the Bible – your Constitution – they foresaw many potential problems in the future. They left the 9th and 10th Amendments for us as corrective tools. The monetary system and the Three Branches of government were of great concern. They made it a law that Congress was “… to coin money and regulate the value thereof…” and to make sure as a guarantee they also included “…no State shall make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts…” Second, the “separation of powers” better known as “checks and balances” was a great concern Founding Fathers feared would be altered. They knew scoundrels and thieves would exist but left it up to the people to be vigilant. All this has been subverted.
Through the years many voices against big government were silenced. I read that in the GOP Republican platform of the ‘30s was a call to abolish the Federal Reserve. The “tax-rebel” freedom movement was destroyed – many suffered injustices. Numerous States have attempted curtailing the Fed but failed. The third branch (judiciary) protects the bankers’ interest when threatened by legitimate grievances (1st Amendment) They don’t allow the suits to go forth. Although, there is legislation working its way to audit the Fed – for the first time ever! All this is happening because of talk radio, the Internet, and people more aware. More than before, people are onto the press. There is still hope. And to think shameless Democrats in Congress want to inflict political correctness on talk radio.
Another brilliant move by our Founding Fathers was to charge the States (legislatures) with the responsibility of selecting two representatives (senators) for representation in Washington to protect the rights of the States. This was eliminated by passing the 17th Amendment which gave the people the right to elect U.S. Senators. Oh, it sounded great. People felt like they belonged. But the agenda of the elite was to eventually control the senators and strip states of rights and then centralize government. With centralization came big government (socialism) – spend, spend, ala FDR. He was the one that started our country to more socialism. Revisionists in our country have made him a God. I find it coincidental that the 16th Amendment (Income tax) the 17th Amendment (people voting for senators) and the Federal Reserve Act (unconstitutional) all passed the same year – 1913. We were being set-up for communism as you shall soon see. The administration of our monetary system was changed into the 2nd, 4th and 5th plank of the communist manifesto.
The 17th Amendment was passed easily because “they” led the public to believe there were too many problems with the existing system – true or not – I don’t know. The same thing happened with the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. Because of many bank panics, the media (controlled press) convinced America that a central bank could do a better job. When in reality they were the ones that created the panics to further their agenda. Thanks to President Pinocchio being elected – people are beginning to see the worst of socialism and possibly a communist America. You think I’m kidding?
2nd Plank Communist Manifesto: A heavy progressive income tax
(the more you make the more they take – spread the wealth)
4th Plank Communist Manifesto: Confiscate all property ( emigrants and rebels – anyone who speaks against government)
5th Plank of Communist Manifesto: Centralization in the hands of the state. 1913 – Federal Reserve Act (unconstitutional) gave the monetary system to the International Bankers.
The International Bankers invented communism in 1848 to control and to make money. What does this mean? OUR MONETARY SYSTEM IS ADMINISTERED UNDER THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO!… we are economic bondage slaves!
The Federal Reserve Act won’t be repealed. The IRS won’t be eliminated. The “bums” will not be thrown out. Spending will not stop. Unconstitutional legislation will continue. Crimes in Congress will still happen…what to do?…what to do?
America was made great because of U.S. Constitution. Free market. Free enterprise. The greatest manufacturing industrial base in history, the sanctity of family and the belief in the Creator. All that is ending because government stifles everything. Government rules and regulation force many companies to abandon our country. The family is almost destroyed. Here is a recommendation for the tea party from an observer:
The “tea party”(As reported by Jeff Kuhner of the Washington Times) movement should demand that the GOP outline a detailed platform for the 2010 elections. To receive conservative-populist support, Republicans must promise to repeal Mr. Obama’s policies root and branch. This means Obamacare must be rescinded – immediately. The election should be turned into a referendum on government-run health care. Taxes must be slashed. Government spending must be scuttled – unilaterally, if necessary. A security wall must be built within 12 months all along our porous southern border. English must be made the official language and bilingualism prohibited.
To this I would add getting rid of the Dept. of Education and the Dept. of Energy. We would save billions to be used in worthy projects – like for our elderly. Those two departments are not necessary. It is part of the agenda to make government bigger, to spend more, so the bankers can make more profit in interest.
The rest of his comments suggest that if the GOP fails to listen then the “tea party” should consider a third party for the 2012 elections. I say it’s easier to change the GOP, than to run away from the problem. It would take too long. The Democratic Party is too radical to save. Take over the GOP – Tea Party! The GOP is organized and has the money. But they lack true dedication and commitment. That’s where you come in.
You want an interesting idea of long ago? You want something that will stop all the corruption? Stop the criminals in Congress and lobbyists? A balanced budget? Cutting out wasteful programs like pork? Corporate Welfare? Government jets for personal use? A solution to immigration? Supreme Court appointees that’ll obey the Constitution and not be “judicial activists”. No constitutional rights for terrorists – that behead our people. What is the idea? REPEAL THE 17th AMENDMENT! This would also take time but the people (States are ready) and it could happen quickly.
Think how much corruption – headaches – crime in Congress could be eliminated if, once again, State Legislatures appointed the U.S. Senators like before the 17th. No more campaigning and bribes. Elimination of all campaign laws for senators. No need for senatorial elections – no voter fraud. No more Court involvement. No more media making hundreds of millions and bias reporting during elections. No more becoming millionaires while in Congress. I read a Nov. 2009 issue of Time magazine that reported the pharmaceutical industry spent $609,000 per day the first 6 months of the year to influence the criminals. Thousands of Lobbyists are involved to a receptive criminal audience.
Just think, senators wouldn’t act on their own. They would answer to our legislatures. No more pork. No more reaching across the aisle. Less spending – States would have the say – whether to spend or not. No unauthorized wasteful junkets. More time spent at home by senators. No dozens and dozens of staff members. Whatever legislation passed affecting the people “they” would also come under – like the health plan. Term limits? Being so close to the process we could demand from the legislators to replace representatives if they fail in their job by being corrupt. We wouldn’t have to wait six years. The States have the right to recall. A repeal of the 17th Amendment is very difficult, highly improbable but not impossible – like making tamales.
In order to enjoy a home- made tamale you must use the proper ingredients. Once prepared you sit back and watch a kettle steam until the aroma is right. You invite others and enjoy something you made happen. The road to liberty and freedom are ingredients in the recipe called for in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. A recipe that guarantees citizens independence from big government, emitting an aroma of peace, security and prosperity. That is the aroma of freedom. The cooks (the people) need guidance. Here’s an opportunity the tea party, third parties, Independents, and all think-alike organization have – grab It Americans! Prepare a gourmet dinner for future Americans.
If there is one thing I’d like for you to understand besides what I advocate – is this: Liberalism became a bad word and liberals began calling themselves “Progressives.” You are beginning to see the word more often in a good light – like in commercials. Don’t be fooled. They are willing to destroy their own party for a health bill. It is rotten legislation full of bribes and government takeover of our lives. This type of behavior by liberals and progressives is a mental illness.
In dark hours when things look bleak, our country may be less than the Republic our Founding Fathers promised – but there is a ray of hope to straighten things out. Why? Because we are Americans. America has been good – let us give back for those who sacrificed with their lives preserving our liberty and freedoms. We shall fight and win. The future of our country is in your hands…I love you, America.

Previously posted articles reported the treatment citizens receive for exercising their beliefs and the right to free speech. I read many years ago that learning institutions were swamped with socialists and communists poisoning the minds of our young. The following identifies who the ADF is. They operate on contributions whereas the ACLU has hundreds of millions supported by those in our society who are anti-religion – especially those in Hollywood. The ACLU started out as a communist organization and many still believe it has never changed.
The Alliance Defense Fund is a legal alliance defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation. ADF strives to see an America whose laws affirm religious liberty, protect life from conception to natural death, defend the family, and preserve marriage as being between one man and one woman. Since its launch in 1994, ADF and its allies have attained a win ratio of more than 75 percent… achieving victory in hundreds of critical, precedent-setting cases at both state and federal levels.
The following excerpts I extract from a pamphlet sent to me. It gives you an idea what many students experience in the classroom everyday:
Did you know, for instance, that 77 percent of America’s taxpayer-funded public universities have speech codes that either restrict or prohibit constitutionally protected speech? Were you aware that Christian students are regularly called before boards of inquiry and other campus disciplinary bodies that attempt to force them to deny aspects of their faith and then punish them if they refuse! Did you know that literally dozens of winning lawsuits have been filed against public institutions on behalf of Christians students whose rights have been violated?
Parents teach morals, religion, basically all the good things in the Ten Commandments at home only to be refuted in the classrooms. Parents spend thousands supporting the education of their young only to have their minds molded into something different. A retired Congressman by the name of Tom Tancredo told the story about visiting hundreds of schools each year. This is what he related. The first thing he would ask of the assembly was for those that believed America was a great country raise their hand. He reported very few did. This happened at every school he went. The communists in our society have done a good job. (10th plank communist manifesto – government control education)
Mr. Alan Sears – president of the ADF relates the following story:
Emily was a student at Missouri State University when she experienced appalling harassment and intimidation because of her faith. A few weeks before graduation, Emily’s professor commissioned his students to write letters to the Missouri legislature advocating foster care and adoption “rights” for same-sex couples. Emily was caught off guard.
“It wasn’t just, ‘Look at this population and write about it.’ …It was, ‘You are going to put your name on something.’ It was like endorsing it, and I said, ‘No, I can’t do this. I do not want my name on any document that says I am going to support the homosexual agenda.’”
During a lull in the class, Emily respectfully approached the professor and told him she couldn’t do what he’d asked, offering to do another assignment instead or even everything involved in this one – just short of actually signing and sending the letter.
“It’s good to learn about different walks of life,” she said, “but for me to go out into the community and endorse something…I cannot do that if I don’t believe in it.” “Is it because you’re a Christian?” he demanded.
“I am a Christian,” Emily said, “and, yes, my Christian beliefs do guide where my life goes. But this is a right-and-wrong thing. I just cannot support this, and you cannot tell me where to stand on a political issue.” When it became clear that Emily wasn’t going to change her mind, the professor abruptly ended class and stormed out in a fury.
A few days later, Emily received a phone call informing her that the professor had filed a Level 3 grievance – the most serious complaint possible – against her. She would be required to meet with a faculty ethics committee immediately after finals. The “ethics committee” itself acted inappropriately in how it conducted its own affairs. The group didn’t put its request in writing, wouldn’t tell Emily what the complaint was, and gave her considerably less than 30 days’ notice – all university requirements.
The committee refused to let Emily bring an attorney, or even her parents, to the meeting. It also refused to let anyone record the proceedings. Instead, the panel devoted two-and-a-half hours to browbeating Emily about her Christian faith.
“Do you think homosexuals are sinners?” “Are you a sinner?” “What’s the difference between you and them?” “Are we sinners?” As the questions intensified, tears rolled down Emily’s face…but she held her ground. “You haven’t changed your mind?” one of the professors said at last. “No,” Emily said. “And I’m not going to.”
After telling Emily the steps she must take to “correct” the situation and threatening to withhold her diploma, the panel dismissed her. In just a moment, I will tell you how Emily’s case was finally resolved. But first, it is important for you to understand that what happened to Emily is not unusual. An increasing number of students are being subjected to harassment, intimidation, interrogation, and more, simply because of their deeply held Christian convictions. (terrorists are treated better)
Another example: On November 24, 2008, a Los Angeles City College speech professor interrupted and ended Jonathan Lopez’s presentation mid-speech, calling him a “fascist bastard” in front of the class for speaking about his faith, which included reading the dictionary definition of “marriage” and reciting two Bible verses. Instead of allowing Jonathan to finish, the professor told the other students they could leave if they were offended. When no one left, the professor dismissed the class. Refusing to grade the assigned speech, the professor wrote on Jonathan’s evaluation, “Ask God what your grade is.”
One week later after seeing Jonathan talking to the college’s dean of academic affairs, the professor told Jonathan that he would make sure Jonathan was expelled from school. The professor’s poor treatment of Jonathan during his speech followed an earlier incident in which the professor told his entire class after the November election, “If you voted yes on Proposition 8 (Calif. Referendum affirming marriage between man and woman), you are a fascist bastard.”
Enough! Its time to stop such blatant infringement on the rights of students protected by the Constitution to speak and exercise their faith. Institutions of higher learning are supposed to be places of free inquiry and intellectual openness. In reality, they’ve become rigid bastions of political correctness (communistic – thought control) - and Christians are bearing the brunt of the bias and discrimination.
Thankfully, the ADF Center for Academic Freedom has come to the rescue – but we need help of more people like you to defend students like Emily Brooker. ADF filed suit against Missouri State University on Emily’s behalf – and almost overnight, everything changed. When the university’s president received our lawsuit, he immediately launched an internal investigation, found the Emily’s claims were accurate and said so publicly, suspended the professor involved, and placed the entire department under external investigation. What came back was a report that the department had a “toxic environment” and recommended it be shut down…in closing, the ADF’S track record is impressive:
The ADF Center for Academic Freedom has not yet lost ONE of these cases. That’s right” We’ve taken 52 of them to conclusion, and by God’s grace, we’ve emerged victorious with policy changes in every single one of them! Fifty-two wins, zero defeats so far.

I don’t know if the following is true or not but several years ago I read how it came to be that government literally shut-up the clergy from discussing politics from the pulpit.
LBJ, another rotten Democrat, in one of his early campaigns in Texas was having strong opposition and discovered that those in religion were helping his competition. He supposedly influenced some in Congress to get the IRS involved – which it did – and from there on the pulpits were silenced. But it’s ok for black churches to spew hate against “white politicians” isn’t it. If Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton were white they wouldn’t be allowed to mix their religion with politics. The communists in the media would see to it.
I am disappointed with religion, of whatever denomination, to remain silent while the communists keep on burying our beliefs. Organized religion has failed us. This is why when asked about my faith I answer this way:
“ God is on my mind and Heaven is in my Heart. Organized religion is a disappointment.”

The following article I post, a result of a comment I made about government owning our children. As a constant listener of talk radio, many years ago I heard a bureaucrat on the radio make a statement that government owned our children. I was shocked. Since then, and you will agree, how many dreadful stories have we heard or read about CPS (child protective services) invading a home and taking children from parents? How many stories of school children being terrorized by faculty and parents intimidated?…it is endless. Fear is caused by ignorance. Once you learn the truth the fear goes away. This article will help parents allay that fear.
“State sponsored education is a mere contrivance for molding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mold in which it casts them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government, it establishes a despotism over the mind.”(John Stuart Mill on Liberty)
UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT “OWNS” ALL CHILDREN
By Frank Turano – a guest writer for the Justice Times – 1986
Many states still insist on prosecuting parents who choose to educate their children at home in preference to government sponsored public education. Many state bureaucrats feel that education is a state function and that parents must blindly obey the dictates of state compulsory attendance laws. NCBA (a freedom movement entity from Colorado. I don’t think it exist any longer) begs to differ with those states.
In 1974, a financial grant from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst was given to Stephen Aarons of the University for research into the validity of compulsory public education as opposed to the rights of parents and child. The results of the research by Aarons and six of his associates was presented before the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association and later published in the Harvard Law Review.
“The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this union repose excludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public school teachers only. The child is not a mere creature of the state; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for added obligations.” (Pierce v. Soc. of Sisters. 268 US 510)
Aaron and his associates discovered overwhelming evidence that the present-day government sponsored public educational system not only encroaches upon religious freedom but also denies other non-religious beliefs including the right to be free of state standardization.
“The Constitution protects the parent’s right to pass their values along to their children. Based on the First Amendment and the Pierce v. The Society of Sisters Supreme Court case, a child’s individual consciousness is preserved from government coercion. This principle indicates that parents have the right of educational choice where the inculcation of values or beliefs is concerned. Because of this principle, the present scheme of compulsory attendance and school financing may well be unconstitutional.” – Stephen Aarons U.M. at Amherst Study
“The right to educate one’s child as one chooses is made applicable to the states by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.” Griswold v. Conn. 381 US 479
“Without doubt, then, the Massachusetts compulsory attendance statute might well be Constitutionally infirm if it did not exempt students whose parents prefer alternative forms of education. Under our system the parents must be allowed to decide whether public school children education, including its socialization aspects, is desirable or undesirable for their children…” – Mass. Superior Court Judge Greany, in Perchlemides v. Frizzle (1979)
Aaron’s 30-page research report, concluded:
“In its fifty years life, Pierce has threaded its way through numerous cases involving the regulation of schooling, the compulsion of beliefs, challenges to compulsory schooling, religious liberties, and the establishment of the rights of privacy. This history and some recent thinking about the First Amendment suggest that present state schemes for financing public education and regulating private education may be invalid.
Because it protects against involuntary government intrusions upon individual consciousness, the First Amendment requires the separation of church and state. In view of this, compulsory education may have to be revised to eliminate its economically discriminatory nature and to preserve freedom of belief for families in search of adequate education.”
If indeed, home education is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution, one may wonder on what basis of law a state claims the authority to deprive a parent of that right.
“The claim and exercise on a Constitutional right cannot be construed into a crime.” Miller v. US 230 F2nd, 386
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States.” – 14th Amendment U.S. Constitution
“Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.” Miranda v. Arizona
Can home education of children by parents themselves be converted into a crime by the state? Does the state have the power to force parents to relinquish their children at age 5 for 12 years of government schooling. If these statements are so, then the state owns your children, there is no Constitution, and America is no longer a free country…end of article
Not having paid much attention perhaps things have gotten better in recent years. I do know that the NEA hates home schooling. I do know that government makes it tough for homeschoolers. And I do know that the 10th plank of the communist manifesto is control of education. I do know that many families experience horrible things with CPS. I do know that government allows teenage girls not to notify parents if they are pregnant and can get abortions…where does it end, folks?
The above quoted laws apply to ALL YOUR RIGHTS – not just having to do with education. Tax rebels used those laws against the IRS but the black-robed thugs would ignore them. That is not to say some were not victorious. A classic defense was not filling out a 1040 form because when signed you gave up your 5th Amendment right “…nor be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…” and you thought only the Mafia plead the 5th. Many tried using those laws but weren’t schooled enough and consequently judges and the IRS ate them up. There are attorneys that’ll turn the tables and make the IRS and judges feel inadequate in the courtroom.
Yes folks, the answers to most of our problems are in the Constitution – especially in the Bill of Rights. But who reads it. Government controlled education, administered by the NEA – makes sure that our people are kept ignorant. But in reality it is our fault.
How good it makes me feel of the recent election in Massachusetts. How simple it is to shake government just by organizing and making your voices heard. One election and the insidious health legislation was stopped – for awhile, anyway. Pay attention at what the Democrats in Congress are saying now…they want to work together…they want bi-partisanship…they are rotten liars! All that time they were lying to the public about the legislation they froze the Republicans out of the process.
And you know what? Should the GOP win control you’ll witness nerds like the McCains Grahams, Hatchs kissing ass again of their…”esteem colleagues across the aisles.” All these Republicans should be thrown out of office – they, along with the Democrats in Congress have just about destroyed our country. McCain is up for reelection and now he’s thumping his chest about all the bad things President Pinocchio represents – where was all that bullshit during the election – dump him Arizonans.
An interesting note: Growing up in Phoenix and a charter member of the first Boys Club, Ernesto Miranda of the above ruling was also a member. He was a loner and not liked much. He died in the street of a stab wound…”there but for the grace of God go I.”
How disappointing it is observing President Pinocchio barnstorming, reassuring people he will fight and fight for what is right. The audience will react with much fervor not realizing this pathological liar is telling whoppers. I say the difference between another bull shitter (Bill Clinton) and Pinocchio is that Clinton knows he is lying but Pinocchio believes his lies.
Fed Chairman Bernanke was part of the financial problem and is being made a scapegoat by some. He’s up for reelection and I say he’ll be confirmed. Why? He represents the owners of the Federal Reserve – your economic masters. They call the shots. Second, IT IS THE GOVERNMENT THAT CREATED THE PROBLEM! Not one criminal in Congress will pay. It is a corrupt system beyond belief.
We are stuck with a two-party system. This election in Nov. will be a defining moment in politics and could mean the survival of our Republic. IF, third-parties; tea-parties; Independents, and freedom loving Americans support the lesser of two evils (GOP) we may take control of the Congress and stop the communists in Washington D.C. But if people decide to buck the system by running in other parties they will certainly affect the outcome. Splitting the votes will most likely save Democrats from losing.
There are over a dozen States toying with a possibility of seceding from the Union. Hogwash! It won’t happen…they are wasting time and money. All they have to do is DEMAND that elected officials OBEY THE CONSTITUTION! Get after those that run the party in your state to follow through. Where is responsibility, citizens? It is YOUR government. Throw out the incumbents and elect people without experience. Experienced politicians running for higher office are too prone for corruption.

The following article appeared in the Justice Times in 1988. It gives an insight as to how anti-religious fanatics had been (and still do) attacking the First Amendment Right to worship…the author is Donald N. Sills
In 1771, Baptists Ministers John Young, Bartholomew Chewing, James Goodrich and Edward Herndon were arrested and imprisoned for preaching without a license. Accompanying them was John Burrus, the first pastor of the newly established Carmel Baptist Church of Ruther Glen, Va.
Later that same year, Burrus’ assistant pastor John Waller was arrested and publicly whipped for refusing to yield to colonial authority by agreeing to obtain a license to preach and teach. Through the able defense of Patrick Henry, the ministers were acquitted, establishing their right to preach and conduct church ministries free of government interference.
In 1791, these rights were federally guaranteed by the ratification of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Yet, almost 200 years later, this same church in Ruther Glen, Va., has faced fines of $250 per day for once again refusing to obtain a license from the state to operate its educational ministries. And what is happening to Carmel Baptist Church is not an isolated incident, but a telling example of how the religious liberties most Americans take for granted are under attack and in danger of being lost.
The last 15 years have seen more religious freedom cases than any time since the American Revolution. Bureaucracy at every level – federal, state, and local – is no longer hesitant about regulating church ministries, imposing stiff fines, and even padlocking church properties….communists hard at work.
Responsibility for this rapid erosion of First Amendment freedoms can be traced to two fundamental causes: the vast increase in bureaucratic regulation of American life and more importantly, the philosophically untenable notion that the First Amendment mandates a “high and impregnable” wall of separation between church and state. The revolutionary idea that protected the first pastors of Carmel Baptist Church was that civil government has no authority to regulate religious expression and belief.
Today, however, America’s historic tradition of freedom of religion has been eroded by the growing influence anti-religious concepts arising out of the French Revolution. Two hundred years ago, the primary threat to religious liberty was the intolerance of other religions. The metaphor of a “wall of separation” prevented the establishment of a state church and the accompanying persecution of individuals and organizations with differing beliefs.
Today, the primary threats to religious liberty come not from churches, but from the bureaucratic secular state (the belief that man doesn’t need God). The “wall of separation” metaphor is used to quarantine religion, isolating it from the vital processes of society. That the concept of absolute separation of church and state tends to manifest hostility toward religious individuals and organizations has been recognized by the Supreme Court on numerous occasions:
Lynch v. Donnelly, 465 U.S. 668 (1984) – - Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783 (1983) – - Mueller v. Allen, 463 U.S. 388 (1983) – - Zorach v. Clauson, 343 U.S. 306 (1952) – - Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947)
Rather than striking an equitable balance of government neutrality between “freedom of religion” and “freedom from religion,” absolute separations tends to favor the nonbeliever at the expense of believers. Nevertheless, the misguided notion that the Constitution mandates absolute separation of church and state continues to receive strong support….communists were working overtime.
As a result, traditional concepts of religious liberty, which for two hundred years have protected all faiths and denominations from government harassment, are now being threatened by a tidal wave of government interference. This threat to religious liberty is particularly evident in four areas: education, licensing, zoning and tort liability.
EDUCATION: As interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, the First Amendment prohibits public schools from forcing students to participate in activities that burden their religious beliefs or from indoctrinating students with the exclusive tenets of a particular worldview. Because education, by its very nature, involves the transmission of values and ideas, government schools are in the difficult position of being required to educate children without favoring or denigrating any particular worldview or belief system. The ability of public schools to accomplish this task in accordance with the dictates of the First Amendment and American principles of justice and equality is being challenged with increasing frequency.
In 1983, seven fundamentalist Christian families sued their local school board alleging that the Holt, Rhinehart and Winston reading series presented a systematic bias offensive to their religious beliefs. The parents filed suit after the school board denied requests to allow the use of alternative readers and instead forced the children to choose between reading the offensive texts or forfeiting their right to a free public education…it sounds good but public education is not free – it costs hundred of billions every year – that is your money not the government’s.
Federal District Court Judge Thomas G. Hull ruled in favor of the families, finding that forcing children to read books offensive to their religious beliefs served no compelling state interest and constituted a violation of the exercise clause of the First Amendment. After carefully documenting the promotion of secularist ideologies and the systematic exclusion of Judeo-Christian values in ore than 40 Alabama public school texts, Judge Brevard Hand ruled that the effect of the books was to establish the religion of secular humanism in violation of the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Regardless of the final outcome of the cases, the evidence shows that American public education has moved beyond neutrality to a position of hostility toward traditional religious expression and beliefs. Nor is this hostility limited to the content of textbooks. First grade students in Anniston, Alabama, were told to bring their favorite books to school for “show and tell.” But when six-year-old Eric Pearson brought in his favorite book, Jesus Loves Me, he was told to take it home because it was “against the law.”…. recently a young student was punished because he drew Jesus on the cross.
A northern Virginia college professor with 17 years of teaching experience was dismissed from his job in the middle of a five-year contract chiefly because of his refusal to “materially separate” himself from his religious beliefs. The reason given by university officials for his dismissal was “inadequate performance,” although the same documents that the school claimed were evidence of poor performance has been previously used to promote him from assistant to associate professor.
Education of children is central to every religious faith. At the time the Constitution was adopted, virtually all of the educational institutions in the U.S. were operated by churches. While the centrality of education to religion has not changed, bureaucratic self-interest and secularist philosophies have combined to harass and oppress churches and parents in their attempt to provide religious education and training for their children.
A Baptist minister in Nebraska defied a state Department of Education rule requiring church school teachers to be certified by the state. In response, a Nebraska court ordered the church school closed, and when the pastor and his congregation refused, the building was padlocked, fathers of the pupils were jailed, and the pastor imprisoned for criminal contempt.
This happens a lot against organized religion. The bureaucrats and activists in the courts who run the system have been subverting rights for many years. Slowly but surely they have been gutting our Bill of Rights. Overall, our people didn’t realize it was happening – they were too busy watching “Leave it To Beaver.” It has gotten worse. Many parents complain nowadays and are told to shut-up and go home. Why? Because they complain about children being taught in classrooms that lifestyles of homosexuals are an accepted way of life. Kids in early grades are taught how to use condoms. They are told it’s all right to have two mothers or two fathers…and parents are told to shut-up and go home?…we’ve got a cultural war on our hands, folks. We must stop the destruction of the family. And you PC communists crowd – GO TO HELL!
…the article continues…In Santa Monica, Calif., police officers (with gun holsters unbuttoned) were among the 30 state and local government officials who descended on the Lighthouse Foursquare Church to “investigate” the unlicensed “Weekday Sunday School.” The educational ministry had been operated by the church as an outreach to children of the community for over two-and-one-half years. The directors of the school and pastors of the church, Ron and Linda Norris, were charged with 31 violations of Title 22 of the California Child Care Act, an ambiguous law, which by broad language requires the licensing of all Sunday schools as child care facilities. Among the 30 charges were allegations of the use of sleeping mats of less than three-quarters of an inch thick. For this violation alone, the Norris family face six months in jail and fines of $1000 each…I tell people that government owns our children and they say I’m crazy. When you sign a marriage license, that is a privilege given to you by the State. Anything resulting from that privilege may be taken away. There are many ways you lose control. The most popular with kids – mad at parents – they call 911. Good luck getting them back and very costly.
Community Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, objected to state licensure of it’s boys’ home ministry, which required compliance with 240 “minimum standards,” many of which were openly at odds with the church’s Biblical beliefs. For refusing to submit the church’s ministry (primarily with young men having problems with alcohol and drug abuser) to state control, the pastor of the church was fined over $97,000 and the church property was scheduled to be sold at public auction.
In Idaho, a Christian boys’ ranch was shut down after state authorities launched a helicopter raid on the home. Although the operators of the ranch were legal guardians of the young men and had dutifully complied with all state health and safety requirements, the boys were removed because the facility was not licensed. Residents of the home, aged 7 to 14, were forcibly removed – some in handcuffs – and sent to a state mental hospital for “safekeeping.”…in the United States of America?
ZONING: Zoning laws often single out otherwise legal activities and subject them to burdensome regulations due to their religious content. In many neighborhoods, zoning officials allow regular gatherings for a bridge club or a football game, but try to require advance permission for a Bible study or prayer meeting.
The Faith Bible Fellowship of Colorado Springs, Colo., held services in their pastor’s home while saving money to purchase a church building. Consequently, the pastor, Rev. Richard Blanche, was cited seven times, fined $32,000 and ordered to perform 80 hours of community service by the city for alleged zoning violations.
William Nichols held regular prayer meetings at his house in Stratford, Conn., three times a week. The town informed him that further meetings would not be permitted unless a permit to license his home as a church building was obtained. A small Episcopal congregation in New Jersey met in the family room of their pastor’s home after high rents forced them out of the room they had been using for services at the local public school. The city forced an end to the meetings, citing violations of the local zoning code. In my home town, Phoenix, Arizona, a local church was told to stop feeding the homeless. Neighbors were complaining. What was used to force the church to stop? Zoning laws.
TORT LIABILITY: In March of 1980, the parents of Kenneth Nally, a seminary student who had committed suicide, brought the first “clergy malpractice” suit, alleging that Grace Community Church had improperly counseled the young man with Biblical teachings instead of sending him to a professional psychiatrist. There are now nearly two thousand suits pending in state courts against religious leaders of a variety of faiths. Although many of the suits are dismissed, the legal and emotional costs of such defensive litigation are exorbitant. In the past 18 months alone, over $100 million has been awarded by courts to plaintiffs who sued for clerical malpractice. Tort reform has been tried for many years but lawyers have deep pockets and Congress has no shame. It’s been said that health cost could be reduced by 50 to 60 percent if we had tort reform.
Former members of newer religious movements have been awarded millions by civil courts for complaining that the religions they voluntarily joined failed to deliver promised spiritual and temporal benefits and that being subjected to certain religious doctrines caused “serious emotional distress.” The precedents set by these cases are easily transferable to more traditional religions. For instance, if a pastor preaches that sinners will spend eternity in fire and brimstone, he could be sued in a multi-million dollar lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
These examples, and several thousand more like them, indicate that government has gone beyond its constitutional boundaries. The rights of religious individuals – whatever their belief or practice – to exercise their religion free of excessive and unnecessary entanglement are under direct attack. Under the guise of “separation of church and state,” religious individuals and organizations are prohibited from influencing public policy or receiving state aid, while government entities are given a free hand in regulating expression and activities of religious individuals and church ministries.
There is a growing recognition among those that value the rights of individual conscience and the role of religion in American society that separation of church and state is not an end to itself. Rather it is the means by which the free exercise of religion is secured. Concepts of religious liberty that seek to root out religious intolerance by rooting out religion generally are inimical to true religious liberty and a free society.
While most of the citizens of this nation have enjoyed the fruits of an unparalleled heritage of religious freedom, our history is not lacking in examples of the illegitimate use of state power to coerce and persecute unpopular sects or minority religions. However, government assaults on religious freedom are no longer confined to unpopular or minority religions. Now all religious groups, including traditional denominations, are encountering government entities that are increasingly uninformed and insensitive to the unique nature and role of churches and their time-honored ministries.
In the past, a major stumbling block in the effort to defend religious liberty has been the inability of religious people to embrace the cause of freedom of religion on behalf of those with whom they are not in total theological accord. After years of government assaults, it is now clear that to win the battle for religious liberty, men and women of diverse faiths must work together to guarantee the rights of religious exercise for themselves and for future generations of Americans…end of article
There is an organization – Alliance Defense Fund – the opposite of the communist organization the ACLU. They operate on donations whereas the ACLU is funded by many socialist/communist in our country. I’ve read their budget is in the hundreds of millions. The ADF has around 1600 lawyers on their team. Please go to the web and familiarize yourselves with this ADF. It is a defender of your 1st Amendment.
TENTH PLANK COMMUNIST MANIFESTO: Control ALL Education
Federal “aid” to education means we have government-controlled schools and curriculum – “learn the establishment way.” We supply the rope we’re being hung with. We’ve been lulled to sleep in a false sense of security believing that we are the most free, secured and smartest in the world. No wonder foreigners laugh at us. The communists have won the minds of many of our people. In a poll taken 80% of Democrats think President Pinocchio is doing a good job…I rest my case…I love you America

This article was written in 1987 reporting the case of Gordon Kahl who had raised questions about the unconstitutional taxes on wages and the heavy-hand of government. He was, and remains, one of the greats in the “Freedom Movement.” Bravely, he sacrificed his life for the belief.
Hippy President Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas when this tragedy occurred. The Hippy was also president when American citizens were murdered in Waco, Texas. Why is this despicable demagogue sexual pervert admired so much? Shame on you, ignorant citizens.
Little Rock, Arkansas - The anniversary passed, and it passed too quietly for me. But June 3, 1983 was a day in the life of America that probably has been forgotten when that date should never be forgotten. What happened that date changed the course of my life, and I think it will permanently change any person’s attitude towards government who finds out what happened that day.
Most people in the patriot movement don’t know me, although I hope that many at least know of my moment in the spotlight. On June 3, 1983, as was my habit those years, I got to the office of the Arkansas Democrat, one of the state’s two major morning newspapers, and read with excitement a story about a tax protester criminal from North Dakota being caught in northern Arkansas, and after a fight he was killed in a shootout with a local sheriff….our country was founded by tax rebels – remember your history?
I thought back several months with no regrets when I and another reporter had received a letter from that man, and the door was opened for us to interview him for his side of the story about what had happened in North Dakota when he was accused of killing two U.S. Marshalls. But, as most reporters who daily cover major stories for years, we didn’t get excited about the possibility of interviewing Gordon Kahl. His letter made him sound like a religious fanatic, and the public and my editors weren’t interested in religious fanatics.
This holds true even today – witness the attitude of the press towards many in the “tea-party” movement and comments by the communists in Congress. Incidentally, the communists dropped the word “liberal” and are now using the word “progressive.” In the Democrat debates of 2006, Hillary Clinton proudly announced she was a “progressive.” Is she a communist – I don’t know…she was the one that called herself a progressive.
I followed the stories of the shootout for several days, and like even local, exciting stories, it was then forgotten. Several months later some patriots (the media through the years has denigrated the word) in the Arkansas community came to me, telling me hair-raising stories about what they thought really took place that stormy, tragic night of June 3. It sounded incredible…even unbelievable. But being investigative reporters with almost 20 years experience, I knew that I could establish – or more likely disprove – their allegations if I decided to dig into the story.
All of the details of what happened during the next six months, I have never recorded; but still, I will never be able to forget them. Many of those details could have been read in the Democrat in late 1983 when the paper printed some of the articles I wrote, proving what really happened that night, compared to what law enforcement officers still claimed happened.
And many of the details were printed in the book Kahl, There Was A Man, which was co-authored by the publisher of this newspaper (Justice Times) I don’t want to cover those details, because I agree that they need to be covered in sufficient detail that only a book can cover. But basically, what I did find shook the roots of my faith in government and eventually renewed my faith in our heavenly Father.
When my extensive researched proved, without any doubt, the law enforcement officers murdered Gordon Kahl, I thought it was just a matter of time before justice would catch up with them, as it usually does public officials, and they would be exposed and punished. But as most patriots know, nobody was punished except some innocent persons in North Dakota and Arkansas.
Government (IRS) goes bananas whenever anyone threatens the monetary system. They MUST protect the owners of the Federal Reserve. They do this, regardless of your constitutional rights…by the following:
4th Plank of the Communist Manifesto – Confiscate all property of emigrants and rebels - (anyone who speaks out against government.)
There was no further expose: in fact,, I still read in such prominent papers as the New York Times (elite controlled) that what occurred on June 3, 1983 was a shootout, when what actually happened was that a law enforcement officer – and I think I know his name – walked into the home of Leonard Ginter and shot Gordon Kahl in the back of the head at a range of about three feet, using a .357 magnum revolver loaded with what gun-nuts would call a hot .38 bullet manufactured especially for federal agents.
There was no punishment of the guilty; not only is that murderer still on the government payroll, but he and other government officials who know the truth apparently do not care that this person has not been and won’t be punished for cold-bloodied murder.
The final thing that was a revelation to me was that my newspaper editors, who I always thought were willing to challenge established government and society, were not interested in following up on the story to make sure the guilty were punished. And I believe that anyone reading the full story about Kahl – not only what happened and what didn’t happen here in Arkansas, but what happened to his family in North Dakota – will permanently change their attitude towards government, society and the press…even today, many people in the news business don’t understand the connection between the elite that control everything – and their restrictive freedom to report the truth as they see fit.
I know that I can never view those government officials, and even the newspaper officials, with the confidence and respect I once did. Never again.
For myself, may the Lord forgive me if I’m wrong, but I think many of the newspaper and government leaders who knew what happened and also did nothing, are as guilty as the federal agent who pulled the trigger. For those who know their Bible the way we all should, you know that the Lord held King David responsible for the murder of Bethsheba’s husband even though David killed him indirectly by having him put in a situation where he would likely die in the front lines of battle.
I know those who violate His laws will be punished, for the Lord promises us that. And as well, I know that to this day there are still hundreds of people out there who have Gordon Kahl’s blood on their hands who have not been punished – yet. May the Lord have mercy on them, for they will be punished…end of article. This was written by Gene Nail an investigative reporter for the Arkansas Democrat for five years. The last report was that he was a free lance writer in Arkansas.
For further information on the life of Gordon Kahl search the internet – type in his name. And while at it type in the Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto and look at the similarities between that and how the U.S. Government is operated…hmmm…I love you, America.

The following article, written in 1988 by William Murchison (a syndicated columnist) appeared in The Justice Times. The reason many articles I post are stories of the past in the fight to restore honest government, is to give you an understanding of how our society was changing and the encroachment by government into our lives. Slowly, and not aware, people were being socialized further by socialists and communists, especially the ones in Congress…most in the Democratic Party.
Time was – may still be – when pro-secularist rallies rang with rhetoric about “Crimes done in the name of religion.” But the crimes nobody ever hears about, since few dare to talk about them, are those committed in the name of civil rights – which, come to think of it, is the new public religion. (political correctness)
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988, having passed Congress over President’s Reagan veto, is a crime against the Constitution and common sense. Such was its theme, even so, that there never was much doubt the Congress would ever override the veto. Nobody, during an election year, wanted to get caught “voting against civil rights.” In fact, nobody, by opposing this mischievous bill, would have voted against true civil rights – the fundamental rights of American citizenship.
The effect of the “restoration” act is not to buttress civil rights like voting, worship, free association, and so on. Its effect is to intrude the heavy hand of government into areas that are none of the government’s cotton-pickin’ business. To hear the advocates of the restoration act go on, this is legislation of unexampled sweetness and purity. The birds will warble more charmingly because the Supreme Court’s infamous Grove City decision has been overturned and then some.
In Grove City, which involved a small Pennsylvania college, the justices rejected arguments that educational institutions came under the civil rights laws whenever one student – one was quite enough – received federal scholarship aid. The court found such an argument to be constitutional piffle; only the administrations program was covered in such cases. Just because a botany student from Podunk got federal aid, the college didn’t have to render the totality of its programs for review by the federal civil rights brigade.
The civil rights brigadiers were predictably dismayed. Up went the cry for corrective legislation. The going at first was slow, but the lobby is nothing if not determined. Anew, amendable Democratic Congress at length gave the lobby what it wanted – more indeed, than it had possessed before Grove City.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act (the implication of the title is that civil rights had somehow had been taken away by the decision) brings under the civil rights laws almost every human activity you can imagine. Not just educational institutions are effected. Churches, too, are effected. Farmers and grocery stores are effected. We are not talking about affirmative action in tuition grants. We are talking about hiring policies and physical arrangements and anything else that effects the asserted rights of specially-protected categories, including minorities, women, and the handicapped.
Many Americans, seeing what was afoot, were properly alarmed. They wanted to know what would happen, for instance, in a case of a church whose day-care center received federal aid. If the church discharged or refused to hire an AIDS victim, could the victim file suit for illegal discrimination against the handicapped? You bet he could. AIDS is deemed by some courts to be a protected handicap. Or what about a mom-and-pop grocery store that takes food stamps? Could it be forced to install ramps for the handicapped? Just might – if someone wanted to press the case.
Civil rights lobbyists, smoother than peanut butter, explained that concerns like these were woefully misplaced. Why, no bureaucrat in his right mind would interfere in the worship of the Lord. Except that the smoothies never explained how in Jefferson’s name they could know this.
The language of the Civil Rights Restoration Act is the proverbial tip of the iceberg, jagged and menacing as it may be. The cold mass below the surface awaits a whole armada of unwary Titanics – colleges, churches, private clubs, you just can’t tell. Though Congress, two decades ago, thought it was prohibiting affirmative action, the federal judiciary today continues the civil rights laws as requiring affirmative action.
A federal district judge who thinks a day-care center needs to hire AIDS victims is going to find in the language of the legislation (activist judges never have to look far) whatever authorization he seeks. The judiciary, and nobody else, is going to say what the Civil Rights Restoration Act means. Wherefore, I propose a preemptive strike. Let’s attack the act in court before it can be widely enforced; maybe the Supreme Court can be induced to go along.
Various avenues of attack present themselves. How about some good Bible churches, unencumbered by liberal-chic bishops, sniffing out a case where one of their number is being pressed by the civil rights bureaucracy to do something it doesn’t want to do? The strategy: Hire some good lawyers, file suit, claim that the civil rights “restoration” act abridges religious freedom, which it does. The court’s agreement with that proposition wouldn’t necessarily bring the whole law crashing down, but it could force the bureaucracy and the lower courts to draw back.
We’re all for democratic liberties, aren’t we? Democratic liberty, unless I have been asleep, doesn’t mean using the power of the national government to bash private people trying to mind their own business. One way or another, this piece of legislation has to go. What a pity that better than two-thirds of our lawmakers, on the veto override vote, lacked the courage to show it the door….end of article
As long as we possess the will to live in freedom, to worship as we please, to seek peace and happiness, to live by a set of principles left to us by our founding fathers – WE SHALL REMAIN FREE! Our guaranty of protection from tyranny is embodied in the Bill of Rights. They are there to protect us from bad government. Never in history had such rights ever existed in one country.
We aren’t given rights by the Constitution or by government. People born in this great land of ours automatically inherit the seeds from God to cultivate the fruits of freedom and liberty. The source of that seed?:
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…” …case closed.
Through the years government has been chipping away at those rights. But now with the Internet and radio talk-shows people are beginning to wake up – it’s not too late. Don’t be lazy – go on the internet and peruse the U.S. Constitution – especially the Bill of Rights. Teach it to kids and prepare them for responsible citizenship and to be informed voters. Teach them the difference in ideologies. What is right and wrong in politics; in government and in academia? Government controlled education purposely indoctrinates our young to be socialists. Don’t raise one. Make them a model for others to follow. People respect informed citizenry – especially the young. Be a role model. The kids will do the same with your grand kids…its rewarding.

Italics are mine – Frank Trejo – yesterday’s News Today
The following commentary is by David Limbaugh. It appeared in the Washington Times in Dec. 2009. It’s good to see others call the communists (my word) in Congress criminals as I do. There is no accountability unless it’s a huge issue like today’s debate on the health bill. Consequently, the thieves in Congress do whatever they want.
At least common thieves don’t destroy an entire health care system and socialize the American economy when they commit their felonies. Too bad we can’t say the same for our illustrious Democratic senators who sold out the nation. In exchange for criminally unconstitutional favors for their respective states, they voted to pass the Senate health care bill just 38 hours after it had been made available to the public for review…all three branches have been subverted that’s why they do whatever they want.
Everyone knows about Sen. Mary Landrieu’s negotiating $300 million for her state in non-guaranteed Medicaid payouts. She was even cocky about her institutionalized larceny.
“But another […] holdout, Sen. Bernie Sanders,” Politico reports, “took credit for $10 billion in new funding for community health centers.” Millions of those earmarked greenbacks will go to his home state, Vermont, if the president signs the bill. Mr. Sanders denies it was a “sweetheart deal,” but he threw his support a behind a bill he had opposed vehemently just three days earlier. Mr. Sanders and Sen. Patrick Leahy secured additional Medicaid funding for Vermont while senators from Pennsylvania, New York and Florida achieved Medicare Advantage protections for their constituents even as benefits from this program are being cut nationwide.
And why not? The end always justifies the means for these liberals. And the end, in this case, is their long-held Utopian Marxist dream of socialized health care. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was not only unapologetic but also defiant about these bribes. “You’ll find a number of states that are treated differently than other states. That’s what legislating is all about. Its compromise,” said Mr. Reid. But this wasn’t compromise. It was blackmail. And the payoff was at the expense of our bankrupt heirs.
Congresses’ dirty linen is finally being witnessed more so by the public. I thank my lucky stars President Pinocchio is in the White House. His radicalism has finally been exposed and the dirty politics of Democratic Congressmen who support him.
Liberal politicians rationalize judicial rewriting of the Constitution on the basis that great things are accomplished that might not otherwise be possible through legitimate democratic processes. But what we are seeing now is the logical result of this callous disregard for our government charter.
If the Constitution had been treated with respect, this legislative monstrosity passed in the dead of the night with the discriminatory application of federal monies would have been invalid on its face. But these days, adhering to constitutional principles designed to separate government powers among the three branches has become arcane – and almost a lost cause….this is democracy in action – the worst form of government…
You have to wonder, though, when residents of our individual states who were recipients of these pernicious deals will rise up and reject this blood money flowing from the mortal wounds to the nation their senators have inflicted. After all, the bribe money their states are receiving won’t do them much good if the nation further disintegrates into bankruptcy. What’s worse is that the foregoing outrages don’t begin to address the disturbing provisions, such as the following, in this shameful Senate bill.
Mr. Obama brags that the Congressional Budget Office scores the bill as reducing the federal deficit over the next decade. But even if you accept this static analysis, you should be aware that according to The Heritage Foundation, the CBO bases its calculations only on the data the Senate provides. The Senate bill provides that Medicare fees for doctors would be cut by 20 percent beginning in 2011, but “nobody believes these cuts will be allowed to happen.” If they don’t, just this one change would result in Obamacare’s adding $196 billion to the deficit in the first 10 years and $765 billion in the following one.
Obamacare would fare even worse, accounting wise, if it didn’t force states to increase Medicaid obligations – another unfunded mandate that would bankrupt states further. Health care costs, say Heritage experts, would rise by $234 billion. They also tell us that though Mr. Obama promised that no one would be forced to change his health care plan, the CBO confirmed that 10 million Americans would be forced out of their current plans under Obamacare. And the $493 billion in Medicare cuts would force up to 20 percent of health care providers into insolvency. Finally, Heritage informs us that “Obamacare is funded with over $400 billion in new taxes at a time of double digit unemployment.” ..I’ve seen one report identifying 10 new taxes in the bill.
National Center for Policy Analysis health care expert John C. Goodman says: “This bill does not curb health care expenses, but it will increase taxes and cost jobs. The end result of this bill: most Americans will wait longer for poorer quality care.” Adding insult to injury, most pro-life groups believe the bill does not ensure that federal funding would not be available for abortions…included in the bill is a provision forcing employers to pay for health insurance of illegal alien workers…
After all the dust settles, millions will remain uninsured, which makes this entire bill a grotesque mockery of the American people. The clock is ticking toward 2110…end of article

Elderly people reading this, you must know that AARP is Socialist, has endorsed this bill. Many members are cancelling their memberships. Others that benefit greatly are Unions. The pro-union provisions in the health bill are despicable. It is pay-back time from Pinocchio for the union’s support.
This Obama must be thrown out of office in 2012. He is a menace, incompetent, and weak in foreign policy. If Anglo, the airwaves would be buzzing with the word “impeachment.” But because he isn’t, he’ll be allowed on his destructive path. Those that are wasting time in the attempt to impeach will never succeed – not with the criminal Democrats that control Congress… not even if the Court says so…the House impeaches and the Senate holds the trial…it will never happen… so easy to understand…so stop it!
CONGRESS DEALS – WE REPEAL!…I don’t buy into this crap that once “entitlements” become law it is hard to repeal. Why is it ok to pass insidious, criminal legislation and not be able to correct? It is a mindset, brain-washed into the American people – more work of the communists in our society. This is why Nov. elections of this year will be a defining moment in our history. Democrat voters at home – the Party is not what you think it is – it’s been radicalized, communized, and has become a den of thieves in the Congress. They do not represent you. YOU MUST VOTE OUT THE CRIMINALS IN YOUR PARTY!

In the same Washington Times issue of Dec. this guy buys a half-page advertisement with solutions to the health bill.
Yes, it seems as we have reached the last inning. The long game will be soon decided. My question to you is – have you played your part, have you protected yourself, your family, and your friends? Have your elected representatives acted in your best interest and that of their constituents? Have you blown your own horn? Recently, I asked my doctor, “What’s your position on Obama’s health care plan?” His answer, “It has nothing to do with health care; it has only to do with control.”
My friends, are Americans so weak and defenseless as to submit to a trillion dollar bankruptcy of this great nation? Will we give up the best health care system in the world? Will we grovel at the feet of reigning politicians who dole out health care in Washington? Will we surrender those precious freedoms given through generations from our founding fathers?…the author goes on to say “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over!” to quote Yogi Berra of the Yankees…I’ll cut it short and offer his solutions.
My friends, there is a positive answer to all of this. There are three health care reforms, which could easily ensure health care insurance for every single American citizen:
First, it has been proven that Tort reform would substantially reduce unnecessary health care cost by at least 60%. This is because doctors and hospitals fear unfounded lawsuits. To protect themselves they are forced to perform costly and unnecessary tests, examinations and procedures for their patients. Let us provide you with a good example of how Tort reform has in fact reduced health care costs. Years ago the State of Mississippi had few laws to protect its doctors and caregivers. Unprincipled lawyers (and judges) indiscriminately sued doctors and hospitals, and often won huge jury awards for undeserving clients. Burdened by high malpractice insurance costs, many doctors left the state and few moved in. Finally, the State instituted significant Tort law reforms.
Since then the cost of malpractice insurance has fallen by more than 50%. More important, new doctors and families are flowing into Mississippi and many previously uninsured persons can afford health insurance. Tort reform is the first and most important step in reducing health care costs. The Obama administration has taken no step in this direction
A second source for major savings can be achieved by eliminating or amending current laws which prohibit the sale of health insurance across State lines. These laws stifle lawful compensation among insurance companies, thereby causing higher than necessary health insurance premiums. Lower premiums would bring many presently uninsured people into the system.
Third, present laws caused severe inequalities in that they provide tax savings for employers who provide insurance for their employees. Individuals, including many of us, do not share in these tax benefits. It would “level the playing field” if all other health insurance premiums were equally tax deductible. This would again bring countless uninsured citizens in the fold.
We could go on, talk about the huge number of physicians who will throw in the towel, of hospitals closing, regulation of drug distribution, and enduring the pain that British and Canadian citizens endure with rationed health care. Enough is enough!
Barbarians are at our gates! Dear God, wait no longer! Arise with your fellow Americans, bring your friends, and warn those elected officials who operate only in their self-interest! Friends, stand with us and say, America will not surrender its traditions, its liberties, or above all, its sacred honor!…end of article.
Respectfully,

I can’t help but think that there is a hidden agenda in all this. Why is all this being done so blatantly criminally and unconstitutional? Are “they” willing to create such a crisis to give them the excuse of declaring more tightening of our freedoms? Look what happened in the latest airline fiasco. They are the ones to blame for incompetence and yet we are the ones that suffer. Now I won’t be able to use my suppositories for my piles before boarding…suppositories back guarantee???…if not, Janet Napolitano may keep them…”Humor is a laxative for a troubled mind.”( original quote)

Visit my other web www.trejobarrio.com and read my bio. It’s full of humor. Stories of my early youth on the “other side of the tracks” before suppositories.

JUDGE “OUTLAWS” BOOK ADVISING RIGHTS TO NULLIFY ANY LAW.
Italics are mine – Frank Trejo – Yesterday’s News Today – 1986
The following is from the Justice Times – Feb. 1986 by Godfrey Lehman.
A San Francisco area judge woke up after six years and ordered his staff to stop distributing booklet’s to the court’s jurors that informed the jurors of their rights to jury nullification. Marin County Superior Court Judge Richard Breiner ordered copies of the booklet “What You Need to Know for Jury Duty” that had been distributed for six years by his staff “removed and made into firewood.”
Judge Breiner’s order came a day after a local newspaper article explaining that the booklet – which encourages jurors to vote their conscience despite the evidence – had been handed out to members of civil and criminal juries by the court’s administrator, Howard Hanson. Immediately after the newspaper article, Judge Breiner ordered the books removed from the jury orientation, and a week later after meeting with the county’s other judges, ordered the booklet removed and destroyed. Click on the month of Oct and Dec.(2008) to read several articles regarding this issue. The 22-page booklet was written by San Francisco advertising man Godfrey Lehman and carried an introduction by retired San Francisco Superior Court Judge Leland J. Lazarus.
They had been given to the court six years earlier by the Independent Insurance Agents of Marin, Inc., and distributed without complaint until recently when an attorney served on the jury and brought the booklet to the judge’s attention…you’d think law school would have taught the attorney that basic fundamental right of a juror. But not in government controlled schools – second plank of the communist manifesto.
The booklet tells jurors that even though the court will instruct them to obey the law no matter how they feel about it, juries through the centuries have disregarded this instruction. In so doing, the booklet says, these juries brought about freedom of the press in the trial of John Peter Zenger and did away with the death penalty for forgery in England. While the booklet cautions jurors not to believe that these cases give them a “license to disregard un-wantonly any law against which you hold a petulant grudge,” it goes on to say that “you should determine, through thorough and soul-searching discussion., if the non-evidentiary factors are really important enough to deserve defiant action. You may decide that they are not.”
The booklet had been distributed routinely to jurors without raising concern from bench or bar until an attorney recently served on the jury and found a copy of the booklet on her chair…to think that these constitutionally ignorant go into politics or become “judicial activists.”
Carol Heymeyer, an attorney with the firm Bancroft, Avery, McAlister, said she first thought it was an official court document and grew concerned after she read the entire booklet…Betcha’ 1000 to one she never read the Constitution…Heymeyer said the publication “wasn’t an appropriate publication to be passed out in a jury room.” So she phoned the court and expressed her concerns. Court Administrator Hanson said it was the first and only complaint he had ever received about the booklet…you’d think one of them would’ve researched the Zenger case, but no, lawyers are officers of the court, a subverted system that protects the “powers” that rule our country.
Hanson said the booklet was one of hundreds of articles, magazines and other materials available for jurors to read while in the orientation room. “I’m not in the censorship business, “ he said. Judge Breiner said the booklet “doesn’t seem consistent with what we instruct the jury. (Of course not) “We do tell the jurors they must follow the law. The jury interprets the facts, (false – only what “facts” judges allow) but the judge has the obligation to tell them what the law is and the jury has the obligation to follow the law as stated.”
After the court’s judges ordered the pamphlet removed from the jury room, court Administrator Hanson said it was obvious to him that “there is erroneous information in the pamphlet.” The final pages, he said, gives the jurors information which is contrary to that given them by judges before the jury goes into deliberation.
Marin County Public Defender Frank Cox said that he was aware of the booklet’s existence , and “no one in the court system has ever complained that the pamphlet has encouraged jurors to disobey the law.” Cox said the pamphlet “merely points out the independence of the jury.” Lehman, the book’s author, said the action by the judges amounted to censorship. “They’re tyrants, “ he said.
The Soviet Union bans books, he said, and this is the United States. “I’ve challenged their autocracy. They pound themselves on the chest and say: “I am the law, the law must come from me…end of article…a reaction by Lehman follows in next article
After the assassination of JFK the socialists and communists began taking over the Democratic Party. They controlled the process up until the GOP took control. But by then the Democrats had done much harm to our Constitutional Republic. Unfortunately, many Republicans within 12 years allowed themselves to be prostituted by the Democrats and lost power. This led to the anointed one by the bankers, to win the presidency.
It WAS NOT the conservatives that lost it – it was the “moderates and liberals” Republicans in the party who allowed the one-world thinker – Bush – to spend like Democrats. The media poisoned the word “conservative” and the ignorant followed the Pied-Piper – presidential nominee U.S. Senator Pinocchio Obama. He is running HIS government communistically just as the inventors(International Bankers) of communism wanted….I love you America.
