A New American Republic

So, is there a reasonable case for peaceful secession? Is separation a reasonable means to an end, whereas that end is; the revival of freedom; a firm rejection of a tyrannical, corrupt and complex Federal system; a return to the founding principles and Constitution; and revival of the world’s most prosperous nation?

Does virtue in public service matter? I contend that it does. Freedom is a God-given right. What is of God, is good. Therefore, a country led by virtuous and moral men and women is the only way this nation will survive.

If we don’t have this conversation about secession, we don’t renew our understanding of freedom, nor do we understand how our republic will survive without adherence to the truth by the Word of God, nor law by virtue of the constitution. Both are intertwined, inseparable. At the risk of losing everything that is good, we must not avoid this conversation.

Be prepared for a fight. Simply opposing Washington on health care reform has stirred the ire of the elite political class. Americans exercising their freedom of speech and right to assemble, the most fundamental of American traditions, are being demonized. They are accused of false protest and berated as puppets of the political right.

THE OPPOSITION

Some will say secession is un-American. Some will say secession is illegal, treasonous. Some will argue that Louisiana couldn’t sustain itself as an independent nation. For most of us, as the president dubs us, “regular folk,” that part of our identity which is “American” is inseparable from the rest.

We are American’s patriots. We are committed to protecting a sacred right that many generations of Americans have worked for and died for to made this nation great.

Un-American is what has become of our government and their current views of freedom. Washington D.C. has toppled our Union of States in a coup and is systematically rebuilding a socialist system, removing power and freedoms from the people and the states.

Politicians and national leaders will balk, because secession strikes at the very foundation of their livelihood, their beliefs, that power does not rest in the people, but rather in government.

Some businesses and institutions, nicely nestled into Federal flocks are also likely to balk about leaving the comfort of their Federally feathered nests. Unions, insiders and benefactors will defend their lifeblood.

I challenge those of you who at first oppose secession; yield for just a moment. Look at what’s happening in Washington and try on secession for a few minutes. Really. It’s liberating.

Think through the idea of new Louisiana. If you had to adjust to an independent Republic of Louisiana, could you resolve to make changes, to make concessions in exchange for excessive and corrupt Federal infringements?

Such an exercise might serve well to reveal an alternate design, one likely to offer greater rewards for your business, your job, even provide for more control and liberties in your future. You might be surprised to find that not much would change.

A “tyrannical government” is un-American. Secession is not illegal or treasonous. It is wholly American, as the United States began with secession from the tyranny of the British Empire.

Louisiana has a rich trove of natural resources, including oil, gas and control of North America’s most important commercial waterway, the Mississippi River. Louisiana has a wealth of human capital as well, and would not suffer as an independent republic.

Read the Declaration of Independence again. Revisit the Constitution.

Take a close look at passed and proposed legislation in this Congress. You’ll find irresponsible spending, costly and expansive programs that threaten our freedoms. The current direction promises massive tax burdens for every American and future generations.

As the veil of deception falls away, more of us understand what’s actually happening in Washington. Our ranks are growing.

Yet, it won’t come without a fight from those in power.

The emerging political class, entrenched in their arrogance and greed, will defend their growing empire shamelessly. In fact, they already behave with belligerent arrogance. One only has to consider the Congressman Barbara Boxer’s dressing down of Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh.

[Read the Story: Sen. Boxer Offers No Apology for Rebuking Brigadier General Who Called Her 'Ma'am"]

Inspired by power and wealth and perhaps even more important, by their royal status on an international stage, the elite political class has launched a massive, aggressive, and expansive federal administration, intent on grabbing power, wealth and freedom in a whirlwind of unconstitutional legislation.

Forget consent of the people, for a moment. Complexity and expedience in legislation has left most people baffled by a deceitful shell game. Add to that how members of Congress distance themselves from constituents, and we find what appears to be an unstoppable force in Washington.

I am so proud of America at the moment. Constituents have become wise to these methods. The following videos demonstrate the shock and bewilderment of Congressmen, when confronted with Americans that are wise to their game, even shocked that they dissent.

Kathleen Sebelius & Arlen Specter called out!

Failure to read the text of bills. Failure to respect the opinions of their constituents. These are tactics that constitute a full federal assault on freedom.

I’m not a political analyst, but I found that with a little research and analysis of past and current events, along with experience as an entrepreneur and small business owner, I can see clearly we have a lawless, reckless and renegade Federal government on the loose. Much of what they do is criminal, unethical and downright tyranny.

DEFINING THE PROBLEM

I find it unproductive to distract the conversation about secession by assigning blame and attacking any man or woman…not Democrat nor Republican, not this president nor that one. Focusing on the sins of our governors, simply distracts from the broader, underlying offenses and the damage done to the foundation of our nation.

It’s not that I don’t feel crimes should go unpunished. Nor will I refrain from providing examples to support an argument.

However, I don’t feel a need to get caught up in the details. They provide no benefit to the conversation, and the debate is more likely to move away from the fundamentals of the argument.

For instance, if we’re going to prosecute a liar, why fret with the lies, until we set forth a foundation that telling a lie represents corruption and that it does great harm to society. Then, if the system that prosecutes crimes refuses to recognize the lie or dismisses the lie despite the law, the lie is the least of the problem, isn’t it? So where do we begin? With the liar or the failing system? When the system accommodates lawlessness, then there is no recourse until the law and justice are restored.

We begin with the system, naturally.

It is my position that a league of tyrants have crafted a system that represents an assault on the very nature of the law, a lost public virtue and morality in public service.

The Founders warned of this day. They could not know of any one man or woman, or any political device that would offend us. Yet they clearly recognized and warned of a greater threat to the Republic; mankind itself.

Ultimately, it was the nature of man that most concerned the Founders. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Samuel Adams wrote:

“I thank God that I have lived to see my country independent and free. She may long enjoy her independence and freedom if she will. It depends on her virtue.”

John Adams also believed virtue and morality was the key to a successful republic;

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

THREE WAVES OF ATTACK

To destroy freedom, to sink the Constitution, to uproot history’s wealthiest and most powerful nation, would it not require a smart strategy?

A very well organized, quite ingenious strategic attack on American’s freedom is entering the final stages. I submit, these are those battles that define an assault on freedom: Undermine the economy. Undermine the Constitution. Transition freedom and power from the people into the hands of the new  political class. Transition a sovereign United States to International Law.

These objectives are achieved through a strategy structured in three tiers or waves of attack. First are the skirmishes; the corruption and immorality of the political class. Next are attacks on the support system, infrastructure; the Constitution, laws and policy, the sources of our freedom and liberties. Finally, the death blow is delivered as tyrants surrender a helpless American nation unto an emerging international law and rule.

Conspiracy theory? Do the homework. Then, you make that call. In your study, if you look closely, there is plenty of evidence to support these arguments. Conspiracy theory or not, are you willing to write it off, at the risk of the consequences?

CORRUPTION – 1ST WAVE

The first wave of attacks arrive uniformed in corruption, and erupts in widespread skirmishes designed to daze and confuse the American public. Politicians line their pockets, and offend the public until we just surrender to the plunder and pillage, accepting it as the “nature of politics.”

In arrogance and lawlessness, they’ve redefined their position in government, promoting themselves to the political class, an elite status in society with an excessive and growing assumption of power, privilege and wealth.

Nothing says “elite political class” more than 8 new private jets!
“Congress Plans To Spend $550 Million On Private Jets” – 08/07/09

Politicians find little resistance in these battles. They cover for one another. Dismiss their crimes. And we have simply turned a blind eye to the offenses. We’ve surrendered in a sense of helplessness.

This corrupt political class has divorced themselves from the people, their consent, and have surely disposed of their roles as public servants.

In the process, they’ve achieved much. Transition of power from the people. Transition of wealth from the people. Disarmament, by removing or limiting the rights of people, and concealing the activities of government.

Further damaging freedom, partisan political machines have stripped power from the people by removing their consent. Politicians will contend the people provide consent through their vote. That might be true, but political parties control the candidates. Political machines determine the candidates and when elected, how they govern.

Once in office, subscribing to their elite political class status, they continue to set themselves above the laws they make and the programs they create.

Congressmen, left and right, are evading their tax responsibilities. Charlie Rangle’s tax evasion amounted to $75,000.00.

Oops. Chairman of House Ways and Means Committee Charles Rangle didn’t understand tax law, failed to pay $75,000 in taxes. Jay Leno weighs in on the issue.

Congressmen are profiting from insider stock trades, executed on insider information they have access to through congressional proceedings and other privileged relationships. Martha Stewart must be stewing!

Politicians, even President Obama himself, is engaged in blatant dismissal of oversight in government operations. Inspector General Gerald Walpin, the Inspector General at AmeriCorps was fired by President Obama while he was investigating one of the president’s friends and supporters, Mayor Kevin Johnson. The president fired Walpin without providing the 30-day notice or justification to congress, breaking a law he co-sponsored in while serving in Congress.

President Obama Fires Inspector General for “Doing My Job”

The Federal Reserve has absolutely no Congressional oversight and is involved in a bitter fight to keep it that way. Considering the failings and corruption surrounding other government organizations (Fannie Mae, Fannie Mac), there’s no telling what horrors are to be found behind the closed doors of the Federal Reserve.

Further separating politicians from oversight, the President has also sidestepped Constitutional checks by creating a cabinet of czar’s that operate outside of Congressional oversight and within the purview of the executive branch. In the case of GM, czars are ignoring the law and have undermined the free market, and violated individuals’ right to property.

The President’s Czars Violating the Constitution

These are visible testaments to a blossoming culture of corruption and Constitutional disregard. These assaults go on without contention, and often without any prosecution. One can’t help but wonder what lies beneath. If this is what we can see, what goes on shamelessly in plain sight, then what can we expect to find in the shadows?

Still, we do nothing. Where’s the outrage? Why do we stand by helplessly?

Consider, from the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson’s recognition of how people tend to tolerate abuses and corruption:

“…all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

ASSAULT ON FREEDOM – 2nd Wave

In a second wave of attacks, a larger assault is designed to undermine our defenses, to further weaken our will and diminish our capacity to reclaim lost territory.

With a disregard of the Constitution, and a disregard of the basic rights of the people, freedoms are inevitably eroded to a degree where we find ourselves indefensible. The Constitution is the only weapon we have to defend freedom.

Cap-and-Trade legislation for example, is an affront on private property, state sovereignty and a noose around the neck of domestic energy production. It’s also a tax dressed up as a fix for global warming. Most disturbing, the bill has been propped up and justified by a lie, a deception by politicians supporting the bill.

EPA Suppresses EPA Scientist Carlin’s Report About the Global Warming Nonsense and  Cap-and-Trade

If Cap-and-Trade is not about global warming, then what is it about?

Ultimately, whether intended or not, cap-and-trade will lead to; control over domestic production of energy and as a result control over pricing; a hostile government takeover of people’s homes; and an unjust burden on state and local governments with excessive regulatory duties.

Public health care legislation is nothing more than a sinister deception. While it promises health care for everyone, it’s nothing more than a smoke screen to a massive assault and takeover of the entire health care industry.

The plan will force the private insurance industry out of business, and lead to a government takeover of hospitals, from which the government would have control over all components of the health care industry, including the decisions we now make about our own health care.

Public Option is Single Player plan, disguised

There is also a full frontal attack on the free market. It started with Federal banking bailouts, or takeovers, establishing Federal control of the lifeblood of the free market, the banking industry.

The automobile industry was next to fall into Federal hands. Soon to follow will be health insurance, hospitals and ultimately health care.

The value of the dollar is crashing, arguably connected to Federal Reserve practices. We can’t be certain, since there is no transparency at the Federal Reserve.

Consider trends in the amount of U.S. currency in the marketplace and the value of the dollar. They trend in opposite directions, suggesting a direct cause and effect relationship.

Is the Federal Reserve printing money to cover the massive U.S. deficit and growing debt, further compounding problems with the dollar?

It’s difficult, aside from speculation, to know what the Federal Reserve is doing. There is absolutely no transparency or Congressional oversight. Many believe the Federal Reserve is printing too much money, often to buy our own treasury bonds, compounding the downward spiral of the dollar.

Add the housing market crash and subsequent recession to this equation, and one must wonder, could market problems be the result of government manipulation? After all, irresponsible lending policy and practices at Fannie and Freddie were encouraged, if not bullied, by Congress. Despite repeated warnings by the Bush administration, Alan Greenspan and others, ultimately lack of oversight, regulation and prudence, led to the housing crash.

Economic Demise, at the hands of Fannie and Freddie

Also, expect a gunfight on the Supreme Court, now that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has been approved by Congress to the Supreme Court. At some point there will be a showdown between the high court and the second amendment.

CNN’s Lou Dobbs: Sotomayor on the 2nd Amendment

Overlooked by the media, national security is a victim of an ailing U.S. economy and our massive debt problem. Consider that many politically influential nations own our debt. With current legislation and massive spending, more is expected and we hope our debtors will continue to buy our debt.

This situation weakens our position and our effectiveness in diplomatic efforts, as we to work to maintain favor with U.S. debt holders. For instance, handling national security threats such as North Korea using diplomacy, becomes more difficult for the U.S. where indirect pressure is necessary.

In the case of North Korea, the U.S. had hoped China would help squash North Korea’s nuclear program and outright defiance with its missile and nuclear tests. Could the U.S. persuade China to exert pressure with economic sanctions on North Korea? It seems U.S. diplomacy has had little influence over China (who owns the largest portion of our debt) and North Korea’s defiance still is menacing U.S. diplomatic efforts.

ONE WORLD ORDER – 3rd Wave

Entering into the territory of conspiracy theorists, we find the most insidious level, the third wave. It’s the surrender of the U.S. unto international rule and dominion. Before rejecting this, finish reading. Please. It’s not so far from reality, when you consider three things.

First, consider the turn from the constitution by lawmakers, in philosophy as well as in deed. Second, trans-nationalism or international law is being introduced into American rule of law, and takes an opposing position to the constitution. Third, America is more often operating under the influence of international authority, particularly in the proceedings of the G8 and United Nations.

Judge Sotomayor, soon to sit on the Supreme Court, and President Obama’s Senior State Department Lawyer Harold Koh, have embraced transnational jurisprudence, foreign rules of law introduced into that of American jurisprudence. If you do nothing else, watch this next video from the Center for Security Policy. If afterward, you’re not persuaded, not frightened, by the prospects of a new world order, nothing will persuade you.

Judging the Truth: Sotomayor & International Law

Such a transformation is most difficult to recognize by us “regular folk,” as it is subtle, mostly a matter of building a case on circumstantial evidence. It also requires following policy-makers around the world and watching the distant proceedings of international affairs.

Do a little homework on the International level. The EU, and others outside of the U.S. are calling for world governance, starting with international environmental governance. Global leaders are also are calling for one world currency. Energy, environment, commerce and stock exchanges have all gone global.

Even President Obama’s rhetoric overseas embraces one world order, sounding almost as if it were a campaign speech for President of the World.

President Obama’s Speech in Moscow

Consider the magnitude and speed of legislation passed in the past 6 months and those currently proposed; federal takeover of Fannie and Freddie, Economic Recovery Act (Stimulus), GM takeover, banking industry bailout, cap-and-trade and the health care plan. It’s only been 8 months.

The question begs; “Why, so much, so fast, and with such abandon and disregard? What is the motive? Is the elite political class so inept, clueless and hapless that they are just bumbling around in the dark trying to fix a faltering economy? Or, is there something much more ingenious, insidious happening?

Can we really be so far from one world order?

If legislation designed to submit the U.S. under an international body of government arrived in Congress today, could we stop it? Whether it’s happening or not, whether its conspiracy theory or not, that is the question that matters!

SOLUTION: RETURN TO SIMPLICITY

I do have keen ideas as to a solution, and it goes beyond the idea of simplicity. But I believe simplification is a good starting point. The process of government should not be so complicated. If in fact, the staffers of lawmakers are reading legislation and advising our Congressmen, is it beyond the reach of “regular folk?”

The Constitution is not complicated. You’ll find that lawmaking is a matter of creating rules and policy within the bounds of the Constitution and formed based on universal principles.

Watch law makers as they work in session. Listen to both sides of the mainstream media (Left and Right). Measure everything against the Constitution and you’ll recognize when laws exceed their authority. Use your instincts and intuition.

Sure, it may require a little work, but once you consider the basics of the Constitution, the fundamental principles of freedom, apply a standard of virtue and morality, you’ll soon peel away the deception presented by our politicians and bureaucrats.

A Constitutional Republic is not complicated. Government can and should be user-friendly and accessible by the people. Yet, if we cannot understand the basic premise of our laws and the process of our government, then how can we be sure our freedoms and liberties are secure? Simply by the complex nature of certain laws (1,100+ pages for Cap-and-Trade, 1,000+ pages for health care), suggests an unmanageable system.

How can we ensure lawmakers are working  in our best interest, particularly when they shamelessly lie, steal, deceive us and legislate law without reading the legislation?

Such corruption is exhibited in plain view, and yet fellow congressmen refuse to even investigate or police themselves. Lawmakers continue to defy the constitution and operate without oversight.

How do we, the people, recover our rights, freedoms, and fight these crimes?

One answer: We divorce ourselves from the federal system. Secession is the right of sovereign states.

The economy may be improving now, and some lawmakers are showing some restraint and even prudence. However, within the next 24 months, our demise will be far worse than the past 12 months, particularly if Cap-and-Trade or if the current health care reform legislation is passed.

Secession may be the only peaceful option to escape tyranny, corruption, decades of debt and socialism.

For me, the time is now. I sense we are dangerously close to a point of no return. For many of you, the day is quickly approaching on which you’ll discover what I have discovered.

We, the people, are still a free people, not by the laws of man, but the laws of the Creator. Freedom and liberty are unalienable rights provided by God. It’s no mistake the United States has grown to be the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world.

If you were to ask our Founding Fathers, they’d tell you it was nothing short of divine providence.

It’s time to take back our country. To simplify. To remove the complexity. To dismiss a culture of corruption and usher in public virtue and morality. To oppose tyranny.

It’s time to raise up a new generation of statesmen to lead this great nation. We must recognize and encourage men and women of virtue to pick up the mantle of governance.

It’s time we all stand up for God and Country.
