History That Must Be Told!

By David J. Smith, Editor

The OBJECTIVE of the War For Independence was to institute and perpetuate a system of government that would CONDEMN tyranny and LIMIT THE POWER that man could exercise over his fellow man. The crowning glory was the creation of the 1789 Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Its survival depends solely upon the people. [God has blessed this endeavor]!

_________________________________________________

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judicial, in the SAME hands, whether of one, a few, or many ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” - James Madison, Publius, 1788 Federalist

“When all governments, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington, as the CENTER of ALL POWER, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venial and OPPRESSIVE as the government from which we separated.” - Thomas Jefferson

“See to the government. See that the government does not acquire TOO MUCH POWER. Keep a check upon your rulers. Do this and liberty is safe.” - William Henry Harrison, 1840

“The consolidation of the States into one vast Republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be certain precursor of that RUIN which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded.” - Robert E. Lee, 1866

“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.” - John Adams

“On every question of construction (of the Constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” - Thomas Jefferson

“The provision in the Constitution granting the right to all persons to bear arms is a limitation upon the power of the legislator to enact ANY LAW TO THE CONTRARY.” - Michigan Supreme Court, 1922

Being Moved From Our Heritage

By viewing the huge amount of evidence available, it proves there has existed a long-standing effort by the “presidential brotherhood,” starting with the Roosevelts, to move the people of the United States away from their heritage of LIMITED government under the United States Constitution, and to transfer them over, on a gradual basis, to a system of unlimited MILITARIZED COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT. Thus, our proper Constitutional form of government would be destroyed.

The “presidential brotherhood” took over the Oval Office during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s time and has been changing our laws and unwinding the Constitutional system ever since. The alliance of change threads through each and every president’s administration, moving the principles of Constitutional government, and instituting in its place a socialistic, militarized, global “democracy” (world communism)! The “New World Order” is UNLIMITED government.

Once President Nixon laid the international regional lines over the states, every president kept this socialist global management system advancing. By installing regional “agencies,” the internationalists were able to CHANGE and usurp sovereign power belonging to the people and to the States, and transferred them under the control of the international government they have been building for world rulership - the UNITED NATIONS!!! President Harry Truman should have seen that the United Nations Charter was going to supersede [promoted by the Council on Foreign Relations, but it is not true] our Constitution and damage the sovereignty of the United States. He must have read the U.N. Charter before he approved of Secretary Stettinius signing it on behalf of our nation! But maybe not, since he was a 33rd degree Freemason hand selected to know the program for a world government. The U.N. wanted our military, and its territory for its world army from the beginning. Before President John F. Kennedy signed the General and Complete Disarmament law, he should have been aware that a country that gives up its armed forces, and disarms its own citizens [which is next], is rendered DEFENSELESS!!! Any American citizen who consents for our States to be abolished must know that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights will no longer have a basis for its existence.

By use of executive orders, treaties, presidential decision directives, federal laws with deceiving titles placed on them, and co-operating governors, the “presidential brotherhood” has ratified the militarized international system, and have it on standby! THEY HAVE WEAKENED OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM TO THE DEGREE THAT WE ARE NOW EASILY SUBJECT TO FALL UNDER A TOTAL COLLAPSE!!! They have BOTH republican and democratic parties offering GLOBALIST candidates for us to choose from at the ballot box! They intend to create a CATASTROPHIC CONDITION big enough to force us to move under the international system that is on standby. IT WILL BE AN ENGINEERED CATASTROPHE!!! They have used many techniques and ways to pull the wool over the eyes of an unsuspecting U.S. people in order to eliminate proper understanding and resistance to their goal. We have been moved under “agencies,” etc., so that the people will have no power and no rights left!

Rejecting Socialism in 1943! Has It Reappeared?

In 1943, there were some congressmen and a governor who repudiated the plan of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s National Resources Planning Board; and yet today, all that FDR was trying to get installed is now almost completely operative. The United States is almost totally within the clutches of the New Deal or New World Order! Some of these men’s statements were:

Congressman Frederick C. Smith:

“To me, it is truly alarming that such a destructive force as this could grow to its present size and power, without the Congress and the country becoming more aware of its dangers than it apparently has ... There is not the remotest possibility of reading into that law (the Economic Stabilization Act of 1931, used as the authority for this program) any authority whatsoever for performance of the whole range of functions that are now being carried out ... There is nothing in the Act which gives this federal agency any authority to plan a new economic and social order, as its activities clearly indicate it is undertaking to do...”

Congressman John Rankin:

“If this program, proposed by our so-called National Resources Planning Board, were put into effect, it would WRECK THIS REPUBLIC, WIPE OUT THE CONSTITUTION, DESTROY OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT, SET UP A TOTALITARIAN REGIME, eliminate private enterprise, regiment our people, and pile on our backs a burden of EXPENDITURES THAT NO NATION ON EARTH COULD BEAR. ...”

What do we see with Barack Obama’s “bailouts?” Is it burden on our backs that we cannot bear? It is the destruction of the “free enterprise” system by government interference. How can a president fire the CEO of a private corporation? Socialism is state run businesses!!! America is being Socialized under our noses, and we have not even recognized it!!!

Congressman Clare Hoffman:

“That horde of bureaucrats which promulgates the multiplicity of orders, rules, regulations, and directives ... have presumed to take solely unto themselves the prerogative of INTERPRETING the intentions of the Congress, of reading into its enactments MEANINGS NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF BY THE Congress ...”

Congressman Gerald W. Landis:

“... It is a sugar-coated proposal, to be directed by bureaucrats in Washington. The social planners propose to build this program on a FOUNDATION OF DEBT ...”

What did Barack Hussein Obama do? He borrowed money AT INTEREST to keep the United States from going bankrupt BECAUSE of former borrowing from an illegal, private Federal Reserve System!!!

Congressman Noah M. Mason:

“... It is a SCHEME to give the federal government control of every activity of the Nation, with the States pushed back into a position of impotence, if not entirely OBLITERATED. ... any State that does not cooperate with the program is to be policed from Washington UNTIL it sees the light. ...”

Ralph Carr, Governor of Colorado:

“(This plan) to commence the remodeling of the lives of American freemen (is) on a basis so dictatorial, so monarchistic, so bureaucratic, that its very exposition PROVES ITS HOSTILITY TO OUR AMERICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT ...”

These men rejected the Socialism of President Roosevelt in the 1930s and 40s! Why does our Congress embrace it today?

Assault on America!

The Elites of BOTH the Democratic and Republican parties consider themselves to be citizens of the world – not of the United States. To the Elites, the United States of America is an outdated idea. According to them, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be tossed away as a relic of forgotten history. To these people, the U.S. is NO longer a sovereign nation governed by the consent of its citizens, but is instead nothing more than a spoke in their global village. These international power brokers created the European Union to make their global wheel of fortune turn. Now they are working to create the North American Union to make their wheel of fortune spin even faster.

Remember, the European Union started as a simple trade agreement among various independent nations throughout Europe. From those “innocent” beginnings, the E.U. has grown to become a supra-regional government. Of course, that’s what the Elites wanted all along! That is the same goal that they have for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox stated that this was their long-term goal on the CNN Larry King Live show. First trade, then the political merging into one big happy family, called the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.” The blueprints are finished and construction has begun.

The Elites want to pick your pockets, America. The governing class wants you to shut up, pay your taxes, and believe what they tell you. They believe they know what’s best for you, your family, our country, and the world itself! The move to impose a direct tax on U.S. citizens by the United Nations has been underway for decades, and gets closer to reality every day. Such a direct tax on Americans (such as tax on airline tickets, currency transactions, or on every barrel of imported oil) would fill U.N. coffers to overflowing. Congressman Ron Paul (TX) entered an amendment to protect Americans from being taxed by the U.N., and it was accepted.

In addressing the importance of this legislative victory, Paul explained:

“The U.N. continues to build the foundation for global government, and a worldwide tax is the key to their agenda. This is not hyperbole – in fact, the U.N.’s own website is quite open about the organization’s ambitions. The U.N. has established a system of international laws and international courts; now it needs an ENFORCEMENT mechanism in the form of an INTERNATIONAL ARMY. If bureaucrats succeed in creating a worldwide tax, they will become totally unaccountable to national governments and their citizens.”

Another major threat America faces in Congress is immigration reform. We had better know what they mean when they mention “reform.” According to the Washington Times, the Senate immigration “reform” bill would grant amnesty to illegal aliens; accelerate “family chain migration;” forgive illegal aliens two years of back taxes; and grant in-state college tuition to illegal aliens. That’s not all!

What is wrong with these current immigration reform proposals? Senate bill 2611 would give amnesty to 85% of the 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. and provide for supposed “temporary” guest workers. The Heritage Foundation estimates this would legally admit at least 60 million people over the next 20 years. The Senate bill would also allow chain-migration by families of newly legalized aliens and would automatically provide them with many benefits, such as Social Security of elderly parents.

So why don’t the powers in Washington pass effective legislation to correct the problem of illegal immigration? BECAUSE the Elites of BOTH parties want amnesty for the illegal aliens, and they want the North America Union! There is no question the Elites want to erase the borders between the United States, Mexico, and Canada; and they want to do this soon! The Mexican ambassador to the United Nations, Enrique Berruga, recently stated that unification of North America should occur within eight years. His statement was made in 2006. We are now living with NAFTA, and we might soon be living with a NAFTA Superhighway – 4,000 miles long and 12 lanes wide, connecting Mexico to Canada.

That’s not all! Obama’s choice to head the Labor Department has close ties to U.S. Communist and Socialist organizations, and has sent representatives to functions organized by national parties for BOTH ideologies.

The pick of Representative Hilda L. Solis, D-Calif., a Congressional Hispanic Caucus leader considered to be one of the most reliable pro-union voices in the House, was hailed as a victory by Communist and Socialist leaders!

An article in the Communist Party USA’s People’s Weekly World Newspaper welcomed Solis and quoted known socialist leaders calling her a “great choice” and an “outstanding” selection with “a life-long commitment to working people.”

Among other personalities, the Communist paper quoted former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., a top economic adviser to Obama, calling Solis a “terrific leader who I know first-hand will work tirelessly on behald of America’s working families” (WorldNetDaily).

Bonior is listed as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization DEDICATED TO TRANSFORMING AMERICA INTO A SOCIALIST SOCIETY! Greg Sargent, a writer for the radical left-leaning Talking Points Memo blog quoted Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, stating the person who best knows Solis is Vice Chair of the DSA Harold Meyerson. Meyerson said Solis had guts and could become a star of American LIBERALISM. Meyerson continued by saying that Solis was championing labor causes, immigrants’s rights, women health, and environmental protections.

Trever Loudon, a Communist researcher based in New Zealand, found that in November 2005 Solis addressed the DSA National Convention in Los Angeles, entitled, “The New Capital of Progressive Politics?”

By appointing a Progressive Socialist, Obama sent the signal that he has not abandoned his roots firmly grounded in Socialism.

Sonia Sotomayor, Obama’s Newly Appointed Judge to the

U.S. Supreme Court

In addition to her work on the bench, Judge Sotomayor is on the board of the National Council of LaRaza. The word La Raza means The Race - a term used by Latino and Hispanic extremists to imply they are the “chosen race.”

One of the main goals of La Raza is to abolish the border between the United States and Mexico. MEChA members refer to themselves as “La Raza.” These various groups that make up MEChA or “La Raza” want self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of “liberating Aztlan.” “Liberation” is an old Socialist/Communist term. The most visible of these groups have radical to extremely radical Socialist/Communist leaders. No wonder Obama selected her - a fellow Socialist

What should, say – TEXANS – do? Or what should any other State do? We must recall our Senators and Representatives on the Federal level because of their failing to abide by their oath to up-hold and protect the Constitution!!! Only the State Congress can pursue this action!!!

U.S. Government Is Preparing a Military

Response to Coming Social Chaos!

The threat of a social meltdown into chaos is so large, a domestic law-enforcement arm of the U.S. military, referred to by The Army Times as the “Consequence Management Response Force,” has been created to deal with what U.S. officials believe to be coming – an unprecedented wave of massive social chaos!

Those who have been working for world government have long used the phrase, “Order out of chaos!” They stated in the Protocols, discovered by Russian Professor Nilus in 1904, that they would CREATE or ENGINEER social chaos and a collapse of the stock markets, which were based upon speculation. This would throw millions out of jobs and cause people to panic. People would accept their man as a “savior” to lead them out of chaos. These things were to be orchestrated as they were approaching their world government. They were to accumulate all the gold and silver into their own hands. They would merge large corporations, so they could survive the economic meltdown. What have we witnessed since 1995? We have seen billion dollar mergers that defied the imagination.

Outgoing Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson told Senator Inhofe and Representative Brad Sherman that so much financial mayhem lay ahead that U.S. troops might have to impose martial law to deal with the social unrest!

A new report by the Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute states flatly the U.S. military must prepare for “a violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States” that could be provoked by “unforeseen economic collapse” or “loss of functioning political and legal order.” Could this be caused by the people finding out that we have an Indonesian citizen, not an American citizen as the Constitution stipulates, sitting in the Oval office passing illegal executive orders and running the country as a dictator?

Notice a revealing report by WorldNet Daily’s Joseph Farah: “On March 6, 1991, President George Herbert Walker Bush, at the conclusion of the Persian Gulf War, uttered some words that shivered down the spines of Americans who appreciated their country as an independent, sovereign experiment in constitutional self-government.

“‘Now, we can see a NEW WORLD coming into view - a world in which there is a real prospect of a NEW WORLD ORDER,’ Bush said.

“He went on to expand on this idea, explaining that he envisioned the United Nations freed ‘to fulfill the historic vision of its founders (Communists).’

“In 1991, that was scary talk. It sounded like Bush had forgotten what America represented in the world - a nation founded on the principles of independence, the rule of law, and accountability to the people, rather than just one of many states responsible to a global community that didn’t share its ideals.

“On April 4, 2009, speaking in Prague, Barack Obama took the New World Order rhetoric to soaring new heights. ‘ALL nations must come together to build a stronger, GLOBAL REGIME,’ he said.

While Bush’s earlier phrase set off alarms in some circles, it was ambiguous enough to all for plausible deniability that he actually intended to work toward some sort of ‘world government.’ Obama’s choice of words leaves little doubt about what he means.

“Let’s consult the Random House dictionary for the definition of REGIME.

“1. A mode or system of rule or government: a dictatorial regime.

“2. A ruling or prevailing system.

“3. A government in power.

“4. The period during which a particular government or ruling system is in power.

“How about the American Heritage dictionary?

“1. A form of government: a fascist regime.

“2. A government in power; administration: suffered under the new regime.

“3. The period during which a particular administration or system prevails.

“Not only are the definitions clear, so are the connotations. They are uniformly negative for those who support liberty, accountability, limited government, and the will of the people operating under the rule of law. Few freedom-minded people would chose to live under any kind of ‘regime.’ In America, we are supposed to live under a decentralized form of government in which most powers are RESERVED TO THE STATES. We are supposed to be a self-governing people, not only free from the shackles of government oppression and dictates, but actually the masters of our own government. We are supposed to be sovereign individuals, with OUR interest protected by the rule of law - the Constitution. We are to be independent of foreign interests and rules!!!

“Why would any American seek to be part of building ‘a stronger, global regime?’ The very idea should be anathema to all of us. Yet, the notion is being championed by none other than the [illegal] President of the United States. Do we not recognize what has made America great and different from all other nations in the world - God and the Constitution? Are we really ready to give up liberty so easily?”

In 2008, The Washington Post noted the incoming Obama Administration was going to “earmark” at least 20,000 troops returning from Iraq to deal with “domestic emergencies.” Since then, the Army Times has broken the story that the domestic emergency army unit has been increased to 80,000 troops, who are being trained right now in Georgia!

It is interesting to note that President John F. Kennedy sent, to the United Nations, the United States’ plan to begin to reduce our military while increasing INTERNAL military forces. This would handle riots when the U.S. surrenders its final sovereignty to the United Nations as a world government!!!

U.S. officials expect big trouble ahead, but they are not warning the general public about the danger. Why? Because their long range plan for America is reaching a climax!!!

A rare critic of the government’s “keep-the-public-in-the-dark” policy is former head of the U.S. Commission on National Security, Stephen Flynn. He noted in a recent Wall Street Journal editorial: “Too many officials believe telling the truth to Americans about the risk would set off a nationwide panic. Thus, they keep US SHEEP in the dark for our own good.” Or do they keep us in the dark because they know the American people will not tolerate a Socialist/Communist World Government that is being forced upon them?!?!

Why would Washington, D.C. expect to use military troops against its own citizens, in total disregard of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which forbids it? The CEO of General Electric, Jeff Immelt, recently con-ceded the U.S. might be descending into a depression.

Until a few months ago, Washington officials weren’t even using the word “recession.” The “experts” are finally confessing to what the rest of us have already seen: Ghost malls springing up from coast to coast, with an estimated 148,000 store closures projected for 2009 – including Steve and Barrys, Sharper Image, Wicks, Lev-itz, CompUSA, Circuit City, Linens and Things, KB Toys, Whitehall Jewelers, and Shoe Pavilion.

Those U.S. policy-makers not “in the know” of the plan for America and the world economic destruction to usher in World Government are frightened at the prospects of other huge chain stores on the brink of bankruptcy in 2009. A few are: Philip Van Heusen (IZOD & Calvin Klein), Macys, Office Depot, Pacific Sunware, Pep Boys, Sprint-Nextel service stores, Ethan Allen, Ann Taylor, Lane Bryant, Dillards, Starbucks, the Gap, Footlocker, and Home Depot.

John Williams, of the authoritative Shadow Government Statistics, notes that un-manipulated government statistics suggest a whopping civilian unemployment rate of 17% - with a projected total to exceed 30%. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, unemployment approached an historic 25%.

In a Wall Street Journal article dated January 28, 2009, it warned: “One troubling sign is that states that were first into recession … are getting worse, not better …”
