<p align="left">After a week of intense committee deliberations, sometimes extending well into the early morning hours, the first formal resolutions of Continental Congress 2009 have begun to emerge.  On Tuesday, the Congress adopted resolutions aimed to ending the federal income tax fraud and terminating all state and federal firearms regulations as <em>de facto</em> violations of the plain language of the Second<br />
Amendment.</p>

<p>The Income Tax Instruction to the United States Congress adopted by the Continental Congress cites several essential facts in U.S. law, including irrefutable documentation establishing that the 16<sup>th</sup> Amendment is void, <em>ab initio</em>, due to its failure to be properly ratified, and that any direct, un-apportioned tax on the labor of any American is wholly unconstitutional.  The resolution cites the U.S. Supreme Court holding that labor (and the fruits thereof) are, “…the most sacred and inviolable” property of the citizens of the nation.  (Citing <em>Butcher’s Union Co. v. Crescent City Co</em>., 111 U.S. 746, 757)   </p>
<p>The tax resolution also calls for Congress to execute the immediate cessation of the (unlawful) imposition of the practice of withholding of earnings from the paychecks of American citizens and for the Congress to immediately release and restore all citizens wrongfully imprisoned as a result of the “unconstitutional application of the income tax” (laws). </p>
<p>The Civic Actions recommended by the Congress for the People to end the Income Tax fraud include for the People to contact their local sheriff and demand cooperation with the citizenry to provide protection from (unlawful) federal and state tax enforcement actions (including fraudulent, non-judicial “administrative” IRS liens and levys), that citizens prepare to replace or otherwise recall or impeach any sheriff who refuses to protect their local citizens from “…rogue federal agents acting under color of law,” and for citizens to prepare themselves to withhold their monies as a means to secure Redress. </p>
<p>As to the Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the resolution of the Continental Congress declares that all regulations, state and federal, which are repugnant to the express language of the Second Amendment are “…null and void – including but not limited to, illegal and unconstitutional restrictions on open and/or concealed carry.” </p>
<p>The arms resolution calls for the citizenry to coordinate with their local county Sheriff in establishing a Constitutional Militia, inherently separate from the state National Guard.  Such militia would be a constitutional defense force, “comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the states.” </p>
<p>Official copies of these resolutions and others will be released shortly for public inspection and distribution.  Committee and sub-committee work on “Remedial Instructions” for state and federal officials will by decree, end at midnight Wednesday (Nov. 18). </p>
<p>Starting tomorrow (Thursday) , the Congress begins two and a half days of intense deliberations, turning their sole attention to debating and adopting a comprehensive set of potent “Civic Actions” every American can implement, <em>en masse</em>, to effect a peaceful restoration of Constitutional Order.</p>
<p>These lawful, (non-violent) civic actions, (fully lawful and protected by the Right to <em>enforce</em> the First Amendment Right to Petition), will be designed to significantly affect the functioning of both state and federal institutions which have been complicit in enabling or otherwise aiding or allowing the destruction of the Constitution and/or the Fundamental Rights of the People.</p>
<p>On Saturday afternoon, the agenda plans for the Delegates set to move to adopt the full package consisting of First Amendment Petitions for Redress of Grievances, “Remedial Instructions” to be served upon state and federal officials, and the slate of “Civic Actions” designed for everyday Americans to implement to resist the tyrants and engage in the battle to restore Liberty. </p>
<p>The final package generated by the Congress will be formally known as the “Articles of Association” and signed (Saturday afternoon) by the Delegates of Continental Congress 2009.  Means are currently being developed for citizens everywhere across America to likewise sign the Articles of Association and join the battle to hold our government accountable to the Law.</p>
<p>The current intent for the Articles of Association is that when “x” million (tbd) Americans publicly commit to personally embrace and execute at least some portion of the (peaceful) plan of Civic resistance, the plan of “Civic Actions” will be fully activated and its full effects soon manifest against our errant institutions of government. More details will be announced following the conclusion of the CC2009 assembly on November 21.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee earlier this month, all eight wrote that they support the type of amendment now being introduced by Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.). Watt's approach purports to increase Fed transparency while it actually would tighten restrictions on any audits that could go forward.

The letter was sent around Wednesday by Watt's staff to members of the committee in advance of a vote scheduled for Thursday.

Watt's measure is in competition with an amendment cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), which would repeal the restrictions that Watt leaves in place.

But far from a broad cross-section, the "prominent economists" lobbying on behalf of the Watt bill are in fact deeply involved with the Federal Reserve. Seven of the eight are either currently on the Fed's payroll or have been in the past.

<p>As the debate over an audit of the Federal Reserve intensifies in the House, one camp is <a href="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/EconomistsLetter.pdf">trotting out eight academics </a>that it calls a &#8220;political cross section of prominent economists.&#8221;</p>
<p>A review of their backgrounds shows they are anything but.</p>
<p>In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee earlier this month, all eight wrote that they support the type of amendment<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/17/audit-the-fed-effort-unde_n_361389.html"> now being introduced </a>by Rep.

<p><!-- Subscribe user -->The letter was sent around Wednesday by Watt&#8217;s staff to members of the committee in advance of a vote scheduled for Thursday.</p>
<p>Watt&#8217;s measure is in competition with an amendment cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), which would repeal the restrictions that Watt leaves in place.</p>
<p>But far from a broad cross-section, the &#8220;prominent economists&#8221; lobbying on behalf of the Watt bill are in fact deeply involved with the Federal Reserve. Seven of the eight are either currently on the Fed&#8217;s payroll or have been in the past.</p>
<p>The Fed connections are not outlined in the letter sent around to committee members on Wednesday, but are publicly discernible through a review of their resumes, which are all posted online.</p>
<p>In September, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/07/priceless-how-the-federal_n_278805.html">Huffington Post reported</a> that the Federal Reserve has accomplished a soft form of effective control over the field of monetary economics simply by employing &#8212; and being the means for career advance &#8212; for an overwhelming proportion of the discipline.</p>
<p>Now that the Fed is locked in a legislative battle on the Hill, it can call on those economists to give their &#8220;unvarnished&#8221; opinions to lawmakers.</p>
<p>The connections that the seven economists lobbying Congress have to the Fed are not incidental and four of them maintain current positions.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s run the traps:</p>
<p>Frederic Mishkin is a former board member, having served from 2006-2008. His career at the Fed stretches back to 1977 and he currently holds two positions: one as a member of the Center for Latin American Economics at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, where he&#8217;s been since 1996; and another as an academic consultant to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he&#8217;s been since 1997.</p>
<p>Anil K. Kashyap is currently a consultant with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, a position he&#8217;s held since 1991. He&#8217;s also on the economic advisory panel of the New York branch and was a consultant there in 2003. He was a visiting scholar at the division of monetary affairs at the Board of Governors of in1994, 2001 and 2005 and at the division of international finance in 1997.</p>
<p>Pete Klenow was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1994-1999, 2003-2004, 2006 and again this year. From 2000-2003 he was also a senior economist at that branch. He&#8217;s currently a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, a position he&#8217;s held since 2005. He was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 2004-2006.</p>
<p>Ricardo J. Caballero was a visiting scholar at Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from 2004-2005 and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Board on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>Robert Hall was a research assistant at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 1982-1984 and an economist there from 1988-1991.</p>
<p>Thomas Sargent was an adviser to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1981 to 1987 and continues to write frequently for Fed-sponsored journals.</p>
<p>Micheal Woodford is currently on the Monetary Policy Advisory Committee of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a position he&#8217;s held since 2004. He&#8217;s also listed as a consultant to the research department there dating back to 2005. In the past, he&#8217;s been a visiting scholar at the Board of Governors and various regional branches in 1987, 1993-1998 and 2000-present, often at multiple banks in the same year.</p>
<p>Economists with Fed connections strongly reject the notion that being paid by the bank influences their thinking. But Robert Auerbach, who spent years investigating the institution and is the author of <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/auedec.html">&#8220;Deception and Abuse at the Fed&#8221;</a>, says that those economists are simply in denial. &#8220;If you&#8217;re on the Fed payroll there&#8217;s a conflict of interest,&#8221; says Auerbach.</p>
<p>The tie between the economists backing Watt&#8217;s amendment and the Fed doesn&#8217;t by itself mean that it&#8217;s bad policy, but it does make clear which amendment is favored by the Federal Reserve. If there&#8217;s still any doubt, the e-mail from Watt staff notes that former Fed chairs Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker also support a version of it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a broad coalition of liberal organizations is lining up behind the Paul-Grayson amendment, which also has the backing of most Republicans on the committee.</p>
<p>The AFL-CIO and other labor groups, as well as Americans for Financial Reform <a href="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/FedAuditLetter.pdf">signed on to a letter </a>posted Wednesday calling for committee members to back the Paul-Grayson approach.</p>
<p>&#8220;In creating the Federal Reserve nearly 100 years ago, the Congress envisioned a central bank free from political pressure. But the structure that may have once ensured independence now appears to put the Fed much closer to the financial industry than the American people, who deserve to know who the beneficiaries are,&#8221; reads the letter.</p>
<p>The Fed, in other words, is not presently independent of political pressure, but that pressure comes from Wall Street banks rather than from the American people through their elected representatives.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a distinction that the note from Watt&#8217;s staff on Wednesday subtly acknowledges, by focusing on legislative and executive branch pressure, rather than financial industry influence. The Paul-Grayson amendment, it warns, &#8220;would place the United States well outside of the mainstream of industrialized nations that shield their central banks from political interference by the Legislative and Executive branches of government, with potentially disastrous results to the U.S. economy.&#8221;</p>

<h3><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Commentary from The Liberty Tree Lantern:</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">C</span><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #0000ff">apt. Karl</span> is scratching his head on one part of this article.  The President of the AFL-CIO is a member of the private and exclusive club of megalomaniacs, founded by The Federal Reserve “System” called </span><a href="http://www.trilateral.org/"><span style="color: #0000ff">The Trilateral Commission</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff">.  According to their own website their primary directive is to create a One World Government / New World Order.  Such a One World Government would be at the end of the puppet strings of The Federal Reserve cartel of twelve privately owned banks, who created The Trilateral Commission in the first place.  So why is the AFL-CIO bucking the Watt Amendment?  Any comments or info on this readers?   This doesn’t fit any form of logic.  Additionally, as many people know from the 1984 Grace Commission Report, the US Government doesn’t get any income taxes from the American People.  After transfer payments to various Socialist programs, like Social Security and Medicare for example, all income taxes go DIRECTLY to The Federal Reserve “System” for payment on the “Public Debt”.  So EVERY SINGLE PENNY that the US Government spends comes from and is borrowed from The Federal Reserve.  So every single Government program, except a couple of transfer programs, comes from the bottomless money pit at the Federal Reserve, who are the programmers of “The MATRIX” which is our economy based on little pieces of green paper printed out of thin air called FEDERAL RESERVE “NOTES” that our minds have programmed in public schools, the main stream media, The Federal Reserve, and The US Government, to believe are worth 100 cents apiece when in the ‘real’ world, outside of “The MATRIX” which only exists in our minds, they are really only worth 2 – 3 cents now after TARP, Bank and Corporate Bailouts, Stimulus and Socialist spending programs and various Government sanctioned “Ponzi” schemes.  Before this recent accelerated monetary policy programs the Dollar has been worth only 4 cents apiece for decades, even though in our minds we believed that they were worth 100 cents as we have been programmed to believe.  Of course much of the world today is starting to revalue the Dollar to its ‘real’ value of 2 – 3 cents, which will result in “hyperinflation” and, thereby, the total collapse of ‘The MATRIX’ (our economy) that has only existed in our minds for many decades, since fractionalized banking started chipping away from the gold standard and until it completely was eliminated by the US Government, anyway.   The AFL-CIO greatly believes in Socialism and Democracy which is defined as 50% plus one steals the individual rights, liberty, earnings and property, by popular vote and &#8220;mob rule&#8221;  from the remaining population so that by definition “Democracy” is the purest form of Socialism and/or Communism.  The Constitution, in contrast, &#8220;guarantees&#8221; a Republican form of government in<a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A4Sec4"> Article 4 Section 4</a>, so as to protect everybody&#8217;s individual unalienable rights, earnings and property from the immoral that would rob and steal and from the mob rule of &#8220;The Masses&#8221;, as Stalin would advocate. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The AFL-CIO believes in “free stuff” Socialist type programs from the US Government, who gets every single nickel from The FED that they spend.  So the question becomes; Why is the AFL-CIO biting the hand that &#8220;ultimately&#8221; feeds them from a bottomless pit of printed out of thin air money and whose President is a major member of the Trilateral Commission?  Are they coming to the side of Jeffersonian Constitutionalists now?  And, what about this &#8220;broad coalition of liberal organizations that are lining up behind the Paul-Grayson amendment?  Don&#8217;t they understand that ALL GOVERNMENT MONEY comes from THE FEDERAL RESERVE and NOT from income taxes?  Haven&#8217;t they read the Grace Commission Report?  Without THE FED Socialism and Government &#8220;free stuff&#8221; couldn&#8217;t exist.  I don’t get it?  </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>
International climate treaty feared for impact on liberties</h4>
<hr size="1" />Posted: November 16, 2009<br />
8:56 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Bob Unruh<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A video explaining the dangers of a U.N. treaty proposal promoted by President Obama that critics say would lead to a world government has received more than 3.5 million views since <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113219">WND broke the story on the ominous possibilities,</a> and now there is word from the Obama <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">administration</a> the plan might not be going so smoothly.</p>
<p>In the video, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of <a href="http://en.cop15.dk/">the United Nations Climate Change Conference</a> in Copenhagen Dec. 7-18 is to use concern over &#8220;<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">global warming</a>&#8221; as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.</p>
<p>At the U.N. Climate Change <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">Conference</a> in Copenhagen &#8220;this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed,&#8221; Lord Christopher Monckton told <a href="http://mnfreemarketinstitute.org/2009/10/16/monckton-speaks-to-over-700-at-minnesota-free-market-institute-event/">a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul.</a></p>
<p>According to the Minnesota <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">Free Market</a> Institute, the video, as originally posted, has collected 2.2 million views and almost 700 pages of comments, but there also are more than 100 other cloned versions of Monckton&#8217;s comments on YouTube and the aggregate views exceed 3.5 million.</p>
<p>The video helped launch a national petition drive opposing the Copenhagen treaty at <a href="http://www.nocapandtrade.com/">NoCapAndTrade.com,</a> with its more than 135,000 messages to Congress opposing the plan. It&#8217;s been discussed by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham and Michelle Malkin, among others.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now there are indications the light of information being spread about the potential problems is casting shadows on the proposal.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more people learn about the supposed issue of &#8216;climate change&#8217; and how green extremists intend to control our lives, the more skeptical they become,&#8221; said Jeff Davis, president of the Minnesota Majority.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=92&amp;ITEM_ID=2142">Get &#8220;The Sky&#8217;s Not Falling! Why it&#8217;s OK to chill on global warming&#8221;</a></em></p>
<p>Further, Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, said in a Bloomberg report today the latest word on Copenhagen is an &#8220;assessment by the leaders that it was unrealistic to expect a full, internationally legally binding agreement to be negotiated between now and when Copenhagen starts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Davis said the impact of Monckton&#8217;s warning is becoming apparent in other ways. He cited a decision just days ago by key U.S. Senate Democrats who confirmed it is unlikely there will be any additional action on climate-change legislation this year. Obama had hoped to pass a cap-and-<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">trade</a> energy taxation plan before the Copenhagen conference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloomberg&#8217;s report confirmed leaders from Asia have admitted a binding global-warming <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">accord</a> isn&#8217;t likely next month.</p>
<p>Obama attended a <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">meeting </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top"></a></p>
<p>of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Singapore in which leaders proposed a two-stage approach to follow up the failed Kyoto Protocol, which sought to manage <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">emissions</a> worldwide but never earned the support of several of the world&#8217;s leading energy-consuming nations.</p>
<p>Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen told Bloomberg there may be no &#8220;legally binding instrument,&#8221; although a political agreement is possible.</p>
<p>The 1997 Kyoto plan is scheduled to expire in three more years, but years of talks already held have failed to produce agreement on energy restrictions.</p>
<p>Instead, Rasmussen has suggested an agreement to cut greenhouse gases, with an outline for a political agreement that would be the subject of further negotiations.</p>
<p>At the Examiner, a <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">blogger</a> concluded, &#8220;The credibility of global warming theories (and sanctimonious theorists) and any international climate controls are fading with each passing day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Monckton warned in the video that Obama supports the idea and is ready to sign on the dotted line.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they&#8217;re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber-stamp it. Virtually nobody won&#8217;t sign it,&#8221; <a href="http://bigironbegfish.blogspot.com/2009/10/just-wow.html">Monckton told the audience of some 700 attendees.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;I read that treaty and what it says is this: that a world government is going to be created. The word &#8216;government&#8217; actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity.&#8221;</p>
<p>He has warned the proposal would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for &#8220;<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">climate</a> debt&#8221; to Third World countries and create a new &#8220;world government&#8221; to enforce the treaty’s provisions.</p>
<p>Davis also warned that while the apparent uncertainty over the treaty has bought some time, it&#8217;s not enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;Green extremists will be back in force trying to advance both domestic cap-and-trade legislation and an international climate treaty that will rob us of our liberties and grant government more control over our lives,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Monckton&#8217;s lecture can be viewed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stij8sUybx0&amp;feature=player_embedded">online</a> and his slides also can be accessed <a href="http://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/monckton_2009.pdf">on the Internet.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend of Liberty,</p>
<p>Trillions of dollars are being stolen from the U.S. taxpayer.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Right now, you and I are seeing the worst plundering of a country&#8217;s wealth in the history of civilization, led by an out of control Federal Reserve</span>.</p>
<p>But together you and I CAN put a stop to it all.</p>
<p>With your help (including submitting the petition linked below to your Congressman and Senators) today, Representative Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint and Campaign for Liberty are ready to fight back, by taking the battle straight to the heart of the problem &#8211; the Federal Reserve itself.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Just think about the scope of the problem for a minute: The massive, outrageous amount of dollars committed to the economic bailouts in recent months totals</span>:</p>
<p>More than the socialist New Deal &#8230; More than the entire Iraq debacle &#8230; More than the 1980&#8217;s savings and loan mess &#8230; More than the Korean War &#8230;</p>
<p>COMBINED.</p>
<p>When will it all end?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time you and I put a stop to a renegade Federal Reserve by exposing the Fed&#8217;s out of control actions to the American people.  And Congressman Ron Paul and Senator Jim DeMint have a bill before Congress to do just that, known as the &#8220;Audit the Fed&#8221; Bill (HR 1207 and S 604).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s vital you click here to submit your &#8220;Audit the Fed&#8221; petition in support of Congressman Paul&#8217;s bill</a></span>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>You see, Audit the Fed already has almost 300 cosponsors!</p>
<p>Now is the time to make sure your Congressman and Senators feel the heat to support the Audit the Fed bill!</p>
<p>If you and I don&#8217;t act today, I&#8217;m afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman and child in America.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Today, nearly 13 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans has been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the out of control Fed</span>.</p>
<p>So is it really any wonder more and more folks are starting to realize the Washington, D.C. establishment is hurtling us toward complete economic disaster?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Whether it&#8217;s watching a phony &#8220;stimulus&#8221; package get rammed into law or watching Congress pass a $700 BILLION bank &#8220;bailout&#8221; under threat of martial law, the American people are agitated and increasingly angry</span>.</p>
<p>That means it&#8217;s a perfect time to unleash the pressure of MILLIONS of outraged Americans on the out of control Fed!</p>
<p><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">So please click here to sign the petition linked below urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes to pass the Audit the Fed Bill</a>!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>As I know you&#8217;re aware, the Federal Reserve is shrouded in secrecy.  Their meetings are off-limits to the public.  Their inner workings are off-limits to the public.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">And just recently, the Federal Reserve told Congress &#8220;NO WAY&#8221; when asked to account for $2 TRILLION in taxpayer-backed loans</span>!</p>
<p>Well, why do you think they refused?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they doled out that two TRILLION dollars would result in an anti-Fed firestorm</span>.</p>
<p>So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit? You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">Constant economic crises</span> &#8212; the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation;</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">The destruction of the middle class</span> &#8212; as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases;</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">Currency destruction</span> &#8212; history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize our money isn&#8217;t worth the paper it&#8217;s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.</p>
<p>And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we&#8217;d like to think to learning that history lesson firsthand &#8212; right here in our own streets.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">That&#8217;s why your commitment to helping pass the Audit the Fed Bill &#8212; and helping Campaign for Liberty fight this battle &#8212; is so vital</a></span>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>Just a few months ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like the Audit the Fed Bill.  So I guess there has been one &#8220;CHANGE.&#8221;</p>
<p>You see, with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control &#8220;bailouts&#8221; of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington want to show you they&#8217;re &#8220;being responsible.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers</span>?</p>
<p>More and more Congressmen are already feeling the pressure and are signing up to support this bill.  I&#8217;ve even received word this bill could move in the next few weeks in the U.S. House.</p>
<p>When that happens, you and I must be ready to fight.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">And, it&#8217;s both a bill we CAN pass, and one that is vital to exposing the massive corruption and dollar manipulation at the Federal Reserve</span>.</p>
<p>You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they&#8217;re working hard to &#8220;fix&#8221; our economic woes.  What is their solution?  You guessed it.  More of the same!</p>
<p>And even if the Audit the Fed Bill is defeated this time, just forcing a vote is a win/win situation.</p>
<p>Can you imagine how many politicians will pay the price at the ballot box in 2010 when you and I tell the American people their Congressman somehow lost trillions of taxpayer dollars and refused to even LOOK for it?</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>Now we just need to show Congress the American people demand action on the Audit the Fed Bill.  Here&#8217;s how we plan to do that.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">First, we&#8217;re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on Ron Paul&#8217;s Audit the Fed Bill</span>.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s just the beginning.  We&#8217;ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to ratchet up the pressure even further on Congress.</p>
<p>And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we&#8217;d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV and newspaper ads.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to Congress: Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job</span>.</p>
<p>But such a massive effort won&#8217;t be easy &#8212; or cheap.</p>
<p>So in addition to submitting your petition, I also hope you&#8217;ll agree to make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, or $100 to Campaign for Liberty.</p>
<p>If $100 is too much to ask right now, please make a contribution of $50 or even $25 today.  Every dollar will help, and every dollar will go to this vital fight.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">I know times are hard, but if we don&#8217;t take action, the America we see in just a few years could look far worse than even the one we see today</span>.</p>
<p>Can I count on you to join the fight to AUDIT THE FED by <a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">clicking here to sign the petition</a>, and by making a generous contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, $50 &#8212; or whatever you can afford &#8212; to Ron Paul&#8217;s Campaign for Liberty?</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>John F. Tate<br />
President</p>
<p>P.S. Please submit the petition urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on Rep. Ron Paul&#8217;s Audit the Fed Bill TODAY!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>With Congress spending like never before, and TRILLIONS of new dollars being created out of thin air, it&#8217;s never been more important the Federal Reserve&#8217;s abuses are exposed to the American people once and for all. And, along with submitting your petition, please make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, or $50 to Campaign for Liberty TODAY!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The final (as of October 26th) Wisconsin delegation for Continental Congress 2009 is, in order of number of votes:]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continental Congress Coordinators, Team Members, Volunteers, Supporters,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please circulate this message to your contacts in Wisconsin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The final (as of October 26th) Wisconsin delegation for Continental Congress 2009 is, in order of number of votes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Richard Church</li>
<li>Rudy Eckert</li>
<li>Michael Staudacher</li>
<li>Brent Arnold (Alternate)</li>
</ul>
<p>Other candidates that may have received more votes have since dropped out of consideration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Richard Church, as the leader of the delegation, has asked that the  people of Wisconsin use a website ( <a href="http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com/">http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com</a> ) he set up to submit suggestions, resolutions and comments to the delegation.  Here is how it works, in Richard&#8217;s words:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It allows people to make suggestions and to vote on the suggestions of others. Users can remain anonymous, or they can sign up for an account. The way it works is that you get 10 votes which you can distribute however you want among the suggestions. You can give a suggestion more than one vote if you feel very strongly about it. The more people that vote, the better picture we get of what the major priorities should be. The short address is: <a href="http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com/">http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please feel free to also contact the delegates directly.  The contact information is located on the Wisconsin webpage at <a href="http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi">http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi</a> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Continental Congress will have credibility in direct proportion to the support of the people.  It is up to you and me to restore our Constitutional Republic and reasert our unalienable rights.  The Constitution cannot defend itself.  The time to participate is now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please also consider giving a donation to fund the Continental Congress at:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cc2009.us/donate">http://www.cc2009.us/donate</a>  This web page has a chart of how the funds will be used.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With liberty for all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Marc Messina</p>
<p>Wisconsin State Coordinator</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>No &#8216;conspiracy theory,&#8217; scheme hatched by CFR was sold to Bush, now Obama<br />
<hr size="1" /></h4>
<p>Posted: October 23, 2009<br />
11:15 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Jerome R. Corsi<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p>NEW YORK – The integration of the United States with Canada and Mexico, long deemed by many as little more than a fanciful &#8220;conspiracy theory,&#8221; was actually an idea promoted by the Council on Foreign Relations and sold to President Bush as a means of increasing commerce and business interests throughout North America, according to a top Canadian businessman.</p>
<p>Thomas d’Aquino, CEO and president of the Canadian Council of Chief <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113913" target="_top">Executives</a> – the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – confirmed in an <a href="http://www.metrocorpcounsel.com/current.php?artType=view&amp;EntryNo=10209">interview</a> recently published in Canada the accuracy of what <a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50618">WND first reported over three years ago:</a> namely, that the Council on Foreign Relations was the prime <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113913" target="_top">mover</a> in establishing the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP.</p>
<p>Published by the Metropolitan Corporate Counsel Oct. 4, the d’Aquino interview verifies that the creation of the SPP was not a &#8220;conspiracy theory&#8221; but a well-thought-out North American integration plan launched by his organization, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, along with the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States.</p>
<p> According to d&#8217;Aquino, <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113913" target="_top">President Obama</a> wants to continue North American integration <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=109347">under the renamed North American Leaders Summit,</a> provided the North American Competitiveness Council can be recast to include more environmentalists and union leaders.</p>
<p>In the interview, d&#8217;Aquino traced the origin of SPP to his concerns, following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, that &#8220;there was a pressing need to keep the border open for commerce while simultaneously addressing the security needs of the United States and North America as a whole.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=20&amp;ITEM_ID=968">Get &#8220;America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty&#8221; at the WND Superstore now.</a></em></p>
<p>With this goal in mind, d&#8217;Aquino explained that the CCCE by 2003 had &#8220;launched an agenda that we called the North American Security and Prosperity Initiative, or NASPI.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56809">WND reported</a> in July 2007, the term &#8220;Security and Prosperity&#8221; was first used by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives in a January 23, 2003, report titled &#8220;Security and Prosperity: Toward a New Canada-United States Partnership in North America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, in 2003, d&#8217;Aquino brought the idea to Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations.</p>
<p>&#8220;I helped convince Richard Haass at the Council on Foreign Relations that we should put together a trilateral task force to look at the future of North America,&#8221; d&#8217;Aquino said. &#8220;We recruited John Manley on Canada&#8217;s side, along with William Weld, former governor of Massachusetts, and Pedro Aspe, the former Mexican economy minister, who had been so influential in promoting NAFTA.&#8221;</p>
<p>The result was a CFR Task Force on the Future of North America created on Oct. 15, 2004, and chaired by Manley, Weld and Aspe, precisely as d&#8217;Aquino had recommended to Haass.</p>
<p>The CFR Task Force on the Future of North America issued an executive summary, titled <a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/7912/creating_a_north_american_community.html">&#8220;Creating a North American Community,&#8221;</a> that was issued March 14, 2005, just days before the March 23, 2005, trilateral summit at Waco, Texas, in which President George W. Bush, then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and then-Mexican President Vicente Fox declared the Security and Prosperity Partnership on their own authority, without any approval from the U.S. Congress.</p>
<p>The final task force report, titled <a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/8102/building_a_north_american_community.html">&#8220;Building a North American Community,&#8221;</a> was issued in March 2005, immediately following the Waco summit. <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=37000">(Read highlights of the controversial 59-page CFR report – including calls for increased financial aid to Mexico, the creation of a security border perimeter around all of North America, a <em>reduction</em> in border security between the U.S. and Mexico, and the creation of a new North American tribunal to settle disputes.)</a></p>
<p>D&#8217;Aquino agrees that the Council on Foreign Relations task force was instrumental to the trilateral summit in Waco during which the SPP&#8217;s existence was declared, saying in the interview: &#8220;The result of all these efforts [by the CFR Task Force on the Future of North America] was that in 2005, Prime Minister Martin, President Bush and President Fox decided to sign what they called the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America – the SPP.&#8221;</p>
<p>WND has consistently reported that the two reports issued by the CFR Task Force on the Future of North America constituted the &#8220;blueprint&#8221; for the SPP unveiled at the Waco summit meeting.</p>
<p>The final CFR report included on page xvii a concise statement of purpose: &#8220;The Task Force&#8217;s central recommendation is establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter.&#8221;</p>
<p>D&#8217;Aquino also confirmed, as WND had previously reported, that the North American Competitiveness Council was hand-picked by the Chambers of Commerce in the three countries, without any legislative approval from any of the three nations.</p>
<p>&#8220;At their next summit meeting, in 2006, the three leaders invited leading members of the CEO communities in the three countries to provide private-sector input on issues related to competitiveness,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;From that idea, the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) was born, to be composed of 10 frontline CEOs from each of Canada, the United States and Mexico.&#8221; That plan was implemented.</p>
<p>&#8220;We produced 10 of our most senior CEOs while the Americans established an executive committee of 15 representing a broad range of large <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113913" target="_top">companies</a> with rotating memberships. The Mexicans produced some heavy-duty people – many names you know well.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=42703">WND reported at the time,</a> the North American Competitiveness Council dominated the third annual SPP summit meeting held in Montebello, Quebec, in Aug. 2007, a fact confirmed by the interview with d&#8217;Aquino.</p>
<p>&#8220;The first meeting of the NACC with the three leaders took place in Montebello, Quebec, in 2007,&#8221; d’Aquino acknowledged. &#8220;Our Mexican and American counterparts graciously asked us to write the first NACC report. It was very well received, albeit heavily criticized by unions on the left and others as elitist: &#8216;Why did these people have access to the national leaders while everyone else was left out?&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>The NACC continued to advise SPP leaders behind closed doors at the fourth annual SPP summit meeting held in New Orleans, in April 2008, as <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=62259">WND reported</a> and as d&#8217;Aquino now confirms: &#8220;The second meeting of the NACC with the three leaders took place at their summit in New Orleans in 2008 – we were in the room with the leaders for a full hour and a half.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whereas Bush was sold on the SPP initiative as a means of enhancing <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113913" target="_top">business</a> and commerce in North America, d&#8217;Aquino explained, Obama would continue with the SPP only if more environmentalists and union leaders were included in the private advisory group that had consisted entirely of business leaders under the aegis of the NACC.</p>
<p>&#8220;When President Obama came to power, he faced a lot of pressure to shelve the SPP and not follow through with the NACC because his advisers were looking for an institution that would also involve environmentalists, union leaders, et al.&#8221;</p>
<p>D&#8217;Aquino argued that the NACC should continue, and, as <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=109347">WND has reported,</a> the Obama administration is continuing the previous administration&#8217;s pursuit of North American integration.</p>
<p>&#8220;But at the North American Leaders Summit in Guadalajara this summer, President Calderon and Prime Minister Harper both told President Obama that the NACC was very useful,&#8221; d&#8217;Aquino said. &#8220;In fact, the Canadian NACC group met with our prime minister and his key ministers for an hour and a half on the eve of his departure for the Guadalajara summit. He said that, regardless of whether the NACC continues formally on a trilateral basis, he welcomes our advice on trilateral issues.&#8221;</p>
<p>WND has regularly reported that the unannounced goal of the SPP was to create a North American Union, similar to the European Union, by advancing the trade integration realized in NAFTA into continental political integration through the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50618">creation of some 20 trilateral bureaucratic working groups</a> and the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56809">North American Competitiveness Council,</a> composed of 30 North American business executives hand-picked, 10 each by the Chambers of Commerce of the three countries.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=109347">Obama administration is continuing the SPP initiative under the &#8220;rebranded&#8221; and &#8220;refocused&#8221; banner of the less controversially renamed North American Leaders Summit</a> that first met with Obama in Guadalajara, Mexico, last August.</p>

This “information” will come, or get populated from all key federal, state and newly created databases. The one critical element to manage the database is a “unique number” for each person in the database. (You want healthcare for “everyone” correct.) The nation will not have 100% physical coverage to answer issues that relate to a Pandemic, national disaster, civil disorder or other significant events unless all persons on US soil are implanted and TRACKED.

<h3>PURPOSE</h3>
<p>The following post, with supporting documentation and data, outlines why individuals must REFUSE the microchip and must be aware of RFID tags that have been placed in a vast number of clothing, boot and shoe products that are purchased today from any retail establishment.</p>
<p>Recent (9-21-09) patents by VeriChip to develop implantable virus detection microchips, cell phones with GPS and RFID capability, recent recommendations from the Secretary of Health and Human Services to add influenza viruses to the list of communicable diseases covered by the Center for Disease Control &amp; Prevention, are key indicators why a Universal Health Care System would lead to humans being <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">TOTALLY CONTROLLED BY THE US GOVERNMENT and soon there after,  <span style="color: #ff0000">A  ONE  WORLD  GOVERNMENT</span>.</span></strong></p>
<p>It is interesting that Daniel The Prophet in Chapter 7:25 (NIV) stated: … He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.</p>
<p>The BIG BROTHER System much ALREADY ON-LINE The Liberty Tree Lantern is going to try to inform you about – A combination of computer hardware, software, people, processes and procedures to achieve an end result.</p>
<p>You also have to understand, the U.S. Government has no choice but to somehow find a way to control and track each of us because &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221; our economy based on Monopoly money printed out of thin air, is not sustainable.  After a boom that this writer calls the &#8220;Supernova Effect&#8221;, just like what happened before Black Friday of 1929, that will last 6 months to a year and a half or so, the whole American economy will collapse as a result of &#8220;hyper-inflation&#8221; almost overnight.  The collapse of &#8220;The Matrix&#8221; named after the movie in that nothing that we can see, touch or smell has been actually purchased or paid for and so in a &#8220;financial sense&#8221; it doesn&#8217;t exist but in our minds that &#8216;think&#8217; all the things that surround us have been paid for or are being paid (but how can they really be paid for with dollars simply printed out of thin air which are worth 4 cents or less of actual supporting value?).  So you see, if the Government is to survive in it&#8217;s current unconstitutional form, they have to do what The Liberty Tree Lantern is going to expose to you below.  The US Government could survive if they would follow the law of the Constitution as per Article 1 Section 8 as further supported by the 9th and 10th Amendments in The Bill of Rights; but, obviously that means that the Government would collapse down to the size, scope and spending authorized in The Constitution, which the occupants of the Government consider impossible and will call it death of the Government.  We would call it FREEDOM, Liberty and wealth for individual common working Americans because we and our economy would get to keep almost everything we earn as individuals.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Connect the following sub-systems:</span></span></h2>
<h3>World Health Organization (WHO) H1N1 Pandemic</h3>
<h4>24 September 2009 | GENEVA</h4>
<p>Regulatory authorities have licensed pandemic vaccines in Australia, China and the United States of America, soon to be followed by Japan and several countries in Europe.  The length of the approval process depends on factors such as each country’s regulatory pathway, the type of vaccine being licensed, and the stage of manufacturers’ readiness to submit appropriate information to regulatory authorities.</p>
<h3>THE NEED</h3>
<p>The WHO currently estimates worldwide production capacity for pandemic vaccines at approximately 3 billion doses per year.  While this figure is lower than previously projected, early data from clinical trials suggest that a single dose of vaccine will be sufficient to confer protective immunity in healthy adults and older children, effectively doubling the number of people who can be protected with current supplies.</p>
<p>These supplies will still be inadequate to cover a world population of 6.8 billion people in which virtually everyone is susceptible to infection by a new and readily contagious virus. Global manufacturing capacity for influenza vaccines is limited, inadequate and not readily augmented.</p>
<h3>Centers for Disease Control And Prevention</h3>
<p>Title 42 United States Code Section 264 (Section 361 of the Public Health Service [PHS] Act) gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) responsibility for preventing the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and within the United States and its territories/possessions. This statute is implemented through regulations found at 42 CFR Parts 70 and 71. Under its delegated authority, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is empowered to detain, medically examine, or conditionally release individuals reasonably believed to be carrying a communicable disease.</p>
<p>Under the procedures required under the PHS Act, the list of diseases for which quarantine is authorized must first be specified in an Executive Order of the President, on recommendation of the HHS Secretary. By amending the list to include types of influenza that either cause or have the potential to cause a pandemic, HHS is simply taking the pragmatic step of readying all options as it monitors the emergence of these viruses and makes plans to prevent their spread.</p>
<p>In the event a passenger infected with a novel influenza strain were to arrive in the United States on board an international conveyance (e.g., boat, airplane), the Executive Order provides HHS with clear legal authority to isolate an ill passenger to prevent the passenger from infecting others. This authority would be used only if someone posed a threat to public health and refused to cooperate with a voluntary request.</p>
<p>In general, CDC defers to the state and local health authorities in their primary use of their own separate quarantine powers. Based upon long experience and collaborative working relationships with our state and local partners,  CDC continues to anticipate the need to use this federal authority to quarantine an exposed person only in rare situations, such as events at ports of entry or in similar time-sensitive settings.</p>
<p>…<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline"> <span style="color: #ff0000">HHS has recommended that influenza caused by new or re-emerging influenza viruses that are either 1.) causing a pandemic or 2.) are not in global circulation among humans and have the potential to cause pandemics should be added </span></span><span style="color: #ff0000">to the list of communicable diseases for which<span style="text-decoration: underline"> apprehension, isolation, detention, or conditional release are authorized. </span> This recommendation is based not on intent to impose any quarantine restrictions right now, but rather so that the United States is prepared to respond efficiently and effectively in case of an emergency outbreak situation caused by these influenza viruses, which pose a real threat of global pandemic.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">VeriChip shares Jump after H1N1 patent license win.</span></strong></p>
<p>(Reuters) – Shares of VeriChip Corp (CHIP.O) tripled after the company said it had been granted an exclusive license to two patents, which will help to develop <strong>implantable virus detection systems in humans.</strong></p>
<h4><span style="color: #800000">The technology will combine with VeriChip’s implantable Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) to develop virus triage detection systems.</span></h4>
<p>The triage system will provide multiple levels of identification – the first will identify the agent as virus or non-virus, the second level will classify the virus and alert the user to the presence of pandemic threat viruses and the third level will identify the precise pathogen, VeriChip said in a white paper published May 7, 2009.</p>

<p>VeriChip Corporation, headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, has developed the VeriMed Health Link System for rapidly and accurately identifying people who arrive in an emergency room and are unable to communicate. This system uses the first human-implantable passive RFID microchip and corresponding personal health record, cleared for medical use in October 2004 by the United States Food and Drug Administration.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>VeriChip</h3>
<p>On September 8, 2009, Steel Vault announced it agreed to be acquired by VeriChip Corporation to form <strong>PositiveID</strong> Corporation.</p>
<p>PositiveID will provide identification technologies and tools to protect consumers and businesses. The companies expect the merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>VeriChip Sub-System</h3>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip is inserted just under the skin and contains only a unique, 16-digit identifier</span></strong>. </span>The microchip itself does not contain any other data other than this <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">unique electronic ID</span></strong>, nor does it contain any Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capabilities. And unlike conventional forms of identification, the Health Link cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced, or counterfeited. It is safe, secure, reversible, and always with you.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>VeriChip Radio Frequency Identification</h3>
<p>Here we have a company that produces the human implanted microchip that contains a unique, 16 digit identifier. This 16 digit number is adequate to cover all the people on planet earth. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">VeriChip states that the chip does not contain any </span>GPS tracking capabilities; however what it does <span style="text-decoration: underline">contain is critical:</span></strong></p>
<h2>RFID FUNCTIONALITY</h2>
<h3>Gentag Sub-System</h3>
<h4>Gentag Announces New RFID Cell Phone Patent</h4>
<h4>Posted on February 18, 2009 @ 03:27 pm</h4>
<p>Gentag Inc. announced that Patent 7,492,254 “Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Based Sensor Networks”, covering the uses of cell phones to read remote disposable RFID wireless sensors for homeland security applications.</p>
<p>Patent 7,492,254 covers a number of transportation and homeland security markets for reading disposable wireless RFID sensors with cell phones, to allow government officials, DoD, police, the shipping industry, and consumers to immediately identify threats with their cell phones.  The patent specifically covers the screening of shipping boxes, containers, trains or aircraft with RFID cell phones.</p>
<p>“The issuance of this new patent is an important step toward our vision to create low <strong><span style="color: #800000">ubiquitous </span></strong>cell phone-sensor networks”, announced Dr. John P. Peters, the founder of Gentag.  “Our cell phone-sensor patents now cover both sensors on the cell phones or the ability to use cell phones to read remote RFID sensors for chemical, biological or radiological threats.”</p>

<p>Who is really behind all of this…..</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Gentag Sub-System</h3>
<p>Gentag’s issued patents cover the uses of cell phones as RFID sensor readers. The technology empowers consumers to detect virtually <strong>anything, anywhere, and for almost any application</strong>.  Korean companies were the first to start embedding RFID readers in their cell phones (see “Honing Its Digital Game”). More recently, major technology leaders, including Sony and Qualcomm have also announced integration of the technology into their cell phones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cell phones are perfect for consumer-based sensor networks because:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cell phones feature powerful processors for analyzing sensor data.</li>
<li>Cell phones are ubiquitous.</li>
<li>Cell phones are networked.</li>
<li>Cell phones can be geolocated, in real time, for emergency needs.</li>

<p> </p>
<p>Gentag’s goal is to redefine consumer-based diagnostic capabilities by enabling consumers’ cell phones to access and read any RFID tag or sensor tag, <strong>ANYWHERE!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3>Craftiness of Gentag Sub-System</h3>
<p>The craftiness of using cell phones, makes it capable of “passively” reading RFID tags from inches to 10 feet away.  Cell phones with GPS and RFID capability will be able to communicate to a centralized database. Your unique data can be read when you get in close proximity to someone with an enabled phone. (Yours or someone else.) Other RFID readers or sensors will be placed at key commercial locations: banks, hospitals, police stations/vehicles, airports and other retail establishments.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Cell Phone Data Stream Sub-System</h3>
<ul>
<li>Date / Time Stamp</li>
<li>ID of transmitting device</li>
<li>Unique identifier of the RFID read. (Either an active or passive read.)</li>
<li>Conditional data from biosensing elements determined by manufacturer of implanted device.</li>
<li>GPS position. Latitude and Longitude.</li>
<li>Altitude</li>
<li>Other data in stream as required.</li>
<li>Destination of Data Stream</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000">Universal Health Care – Where Does the Data Stream Go?</span></h3>
<h3>Chairman’s Mark – America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009</h3>
<p>Scheduled for Markup, By the Senate Committee on Finance on September 22, 2009  PG. 186</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000">“One PI” Integrated Data Repository (IDR).</span></h3>
<p> </p>
<h3>Universal Health Care Sub-System</h3>
<p>The Chairman’s Mark would require CMS to <span style="text-decoration: underline">complete development of the comprehensive</span> “One PI” Integrated Data Repository (IDR). The “One PI” IDR would expand existing program integrity data sources and expand data sharing and data matching across Federal health care claims and payment data (including HHS, SSA, the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA), Defense (DoD), and Justice (DoJ)).</p>
<p>The “One PI” IDR would enable existing and new data sources to be integrated, such as:</p>
<ol>
<li>Quality-of-care under fee for service, managed care, and waivers.</li>
<li>Medicaid encounters data.</li>
<li>Health plan performance.</li>
<li>Ownership, control and business relationships.</li>
<li>Survey and certification</li>
<li>Resident / patient neglect or abuse.</li>
<li>Adverse action (Isn’t that Special?  They mean adverse to Government “orders”.)</li>
<li>Site visits.</li>
<li>Penalties and settlements.</li>
<li>Data on results from other program monitoring.  (You can just about imagine the menagerie of “programs” the Government would monitor for compliance. )</li>
</ol>
<p>The creation of <strong><span style="color: #ff0000">ONE centralized</span></strong> database where vast amounts of data on US citizens will be located and maintained. This “information” will come, or get populated from all key federal, state and newly created databases. The one critical element to manage the database is a <strong><span style="color: #ff0000">“unique number”</span> </strong>for each person in the database. (You want healthcare for “everyone” correct.) The nation will not have 100% physical coverage to answer issues that relate to a Pandemic, national disaster, civil disorder or other significant events unless all persons on US soil are implanted and TRACKED. Health care must cover illegal aliens as well as all US citizens.</p>
<p>This “unique number” comes from the CHIP!</p>

<p>Geodan sells the computer software named Movida. It is one of Geodan’s solutions that offers a host of versatile wireless solutions based on various technologies, such as GSM, SMS, GPRS, UMTS, Wi-Fi, GPS, RFID, and ultra bandwidth location. All solutions are basically location and identification services that can be implemented into existing systems via the standardized location protocol OpenLS.Sevices built on both passive and active technologies that are capable of retrieving and sending location specific information according to specifications.</p>
<h3>Geodan Movida: award-winning platform for enterprise location and RFID solutions.</h3>
<p>Geodan Movida is the most sophisticated platform available on the market to create real-time location awareness applications for business and enterprise customers.</p>
<h3>With Geodan Movida, organizations can:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Identify and locate in real-time people or assets, seamlessly, wherever they are: on the road, in buildings or warehouses.<strong> </strong></li>
<li>Generate information and alert-based intelligence to support the most demanding mission-critical applications.<strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Provide rich visualization capabilities, including 3D, for coordination and supervision.</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Once position tracking begins, an individuals current location is maintained real-time in an active Integrated Data Repository (IDR). This will also generate a history of where the person has been, from which data analysis is available.</p>
<p>An outbreak in one area of the country will allow authorities to track a person’s travels and who they had contact with. (Don’t worry about how, the software will just do it.)</p>
<p>Create a 3 Dimensional (3D) view. To include not only ground level (Two Dimensional 2D), but 3D allows for a vertical placement which will include high-rise buildings, multi-floor structures, and aircraft.</p>
<p>Build a virtual picture of any place on Earth and in the sky; also known in some circles as the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> heavens.</p>
<p>Now determine hotspots and require response:</p>
<ul>
<li>Combined Federal Agencies</li>
<li>Social Security -  Retirement</li>
<li>Medicare  -  Medicaid</li>
<li>Veterans Affairs – Veterans Retirements</li>
<li>Federal Employees – Current and Retired</li>
<li>US Military – All current active duty</li>
<li>Banks controlled by the Government</li>
<li>Automakers controlled by the government</li>
<li>IRS</li>
<li>State Unemployment Benefits</li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone who refuses to get the implant voluntarily is in jeopardy of having all financial assets frozen, payments or wages cut off, and/or confined.</p>
<ul>
<li>No Social Security Check</li>
<li>No Healthcare</li>
<li>No Retirement Check</li>
<li>No Paycheck</li>

<p>So What Does This Really Mean?</p>
<h3>There’s More, “The Devil Is In The Details”</h3>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #ff0000">NO   UNIVERSAL   HEALTHCARE!</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">If approved…….</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Revelations 13:16-17 (NIV)</strong></p>
<p>He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>….  The undeniable fact is that this county, our Constitutional principles, our freedom, and our greatness were clearly predicated on Christian values.  See: The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States by Benjamin F. Morris which was originally published in 1864 with hardcore facts and historical accounts.   This time period of drafting and publication protected the information from any form of politically correct spin or legalize which allows for its historically accurate purity.  So with that in mind, old Capt. Karl would like to submit the following to sooth our souls:</p>
<h3>The Voice of Authority</h3>
<p>… The Lord will carry out his sentence on Earth with speed and finality. Romans 9:28  (NIV)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Isaiah 45:22, (NIV)</p>
<p>“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Revelation 22:12-13 (NIV)</p>
<p>“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”</p>
<p>The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.</p>
<p>Revelation 3:3 (NIV)</p>
<p>Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you 2will not know at what time I will come to you.</p>

<p><strong>Cell phone Jammer sales</strong> (Patriots…  When the U.S. Government declares martial law, for example using the “serious crisis” of Swine flu excuse or economic/systemic banking failure you better have a cell phone jammer or three at your disposal because the passive RFID chip in your clothing or shoes may be providing ID and tracking, in real time, your I.D., exact location and be able to bring up, via I.D. number encoded in the RFID, every single bit of your private information and exact location.  From that point the U.S. Government can remotely turn on a cell phone microphone anywhere in your vicinity and listen to your entire conversation, even if the cell phone is turned off.  What good will be our Second Amendment tyranny termination devises if the despots know our every step and hear every word in our meetings? The following link is one place to procure these BIG BROTHER prevention devises.  The Liberty Tree Lantern would advise that groups out there procure one or two of these for testing and then, upon successful results, start warehousing them for mass distribution to Patriot teams / I guess you could say Militia being necessary to a free State.  Remember time is getting <span style="text-decoration: underline">very short</span>.  Once the U.S. Government makes their move, all of these sources to purchase gear and equipment capable of protection from detection, spying, oppression and tyranny will be “obviously” completely shut down as surely as our Second Amendment rights: <a href="http://www.signalbuster.com/Scripts/default.asp">http://www.signalbuster.com/Scripts/default.asp</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama's incessant call for sacrifice by US citizens is an affront to the Constitution. Free individuals are not a resource to be called upon to serve at the behest of the President for the government's grand designs. Instead, it is the government, which has been instituted for the explicit purpose of serving the needs of its citizens in protecting their rights. By elevating the purpose and value of "government" or "society" above that of the the citizen, Obama perverts the fundamental principle of the Constitution, substituting collectivism in place of individualism.]]></description>

<li> 
<ul>&#8220;<em>We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we&#8217;ve set. We&#8217;ve got to have a <strong>civilian national security force</strong> that&#8217;s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.</em>&#8220;   [Emphasis added]</ul>
<ul>&#8220;<em>Citizenship is not an entitlement program. It comes with responsibilities&#8230;. Everybody—somewhere between the ages 18 and 25—will serve three months of basic training and understanding in a kind of civil defense. That <strong>universal sense of service</strong>—somewhere between the ages of 18 and 25—will give Americans, once again, a sense of what they are to be American and their contribution to a country and a common experience.</em>&#8220;   [Emphasis added]</ul>
</li>
<p>Starting in 1933 with FDR&#8217;s <em>Civilian Conservation Corps</em>, progressive Democrats have had a long history of promoting the idea of &#8220;<em>National Service</em>&#8221; in this country. Barack Obama continued that tradition during his campaign with proposals for one hundred hours of community service in exchange for a $4,000 college tuition tax credits coupled with fifty hours per year of <strong>mandatory service</strong> to be demanded from every middle and high school student. While this particular plan has yet to be implemented, on April 21, Obama did sign the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/18/house-readies-passage-volunteerism-critics-pricey-forced-service/"><strong><em>Serve America Act</em></strong></a> which transfers six billion dollars of taxpayer money to the government&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_for_national_and_community_service">Corporation for National and Community Service</a>, to be used to expand the existing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmeriCorps">AmeriCorps</a> organization, adding 175,000 additional people to the government payroll. He also signed a bill which takes the audacious step of redesignating September 11th as a &#8220;<a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/a-national-day-of-service-or-a-political-hijacking-of-911/"><strong><em>National Day of Service</em></strong></a>&#8220;!President Obama has <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s">stated</a>:</p>
<p>And Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/HtDSwyCPEsQ&amp;feature">said:</a></p>
<p>And notice that Emanuel&#8217;s plan is not just for <em>training</em>, but for <em>understanding</em>, which can only mean <strong><em>indoctrination</em></strong> into the government&#8217;s view of what it means to be a &#8220;good and useful citizen&#8221;!</p>
<p>These quotes, along with the actions of this administration, make it very clear that Barack Obama believes that the citizens of America owe a duty to their country, and that they should be compelled to meet this obligation through mandatory service. This is nothing less than a push to make every citizen and indentured servant to the state, which of course, inverts the proper relationship of the government and its citizenry while violating the Thirteenth Amendment.</ul>

<p>While working to push mandatory service legislation through Congress, the White House has created an organization called <a href="http://serve.gov/"><em>United We Serve</em></a>, which acts as a clearinghouse for initiatives all across the country where individuals can volunteer for public service in their communities.Now, if this were an activity undertaken by a private organization, there would be nothing wrong with publicizing such opportunities and allowing people to freely volunteer their time, effort or money to promote actions which they judged to be beneficial and were therefore eager to support. But the government is <strong>not</strong> like any other private organization. It is a repository and instrument of force. While we may freely choose whether or not to associate with any given private organization without fear of reprisal, the government operates through coercion, compelling us to follow its mandates under the threat of fines or incarceration, and it is this simple fact which renders the government&#8217;s involvement in promoting activities like these wholy inappropriate.</p>
<p>It might be argued that, in and of itself, <em>United We Serve</em> appears to be completely benign, without a hint of threat or coercion associated with any of the activities being promoted, — but this is not true. The <em>implication</em> of force <em>always</em> accompanies any governmental action. We already know from this administration&#8217;s own statements that it desires to make national service a requirement of citizenship, so an organization such as this, which uses public funds to register information on all &#8220;projects&#8221;, and aids in matching &#8220;volunteers&#8221; to those projects, can easily be seen as just a first step towards the ultimate goal of mandating participation from all citizens in the future.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t take my word for it. Many of Obama&#8217;s Hollywood supporters understand exactly what the President requires of them. For example, in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTQawLBC59g">video ad</a>, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore make it all explicit when they:</p>
<p>Now, some might argue that these are just a few actors who have completely misinterpreted the President&#8217;s meaning. So instead, let&#8217;s look at what the administration is proposings in its own words. In preparation for Obama&#8217;s September 8th speech to school children all across the country, the government originally made the following &#8220;<a href="http://tinyurl.com/knysc7"><em>suggestions</em></a>&#8221; to teachers of pre-K through sixth grade, to have the students:</p>
<p>In response to the public outcry at such blatant tactics of indoctrination, these guidelines were changed, but the intent and the message is clear. Students, too young to fully grasp the principles involved, are being subtly encouraged to see themselves as subservient to the President and to learn to place the government&#8217;s desires or society&#8217;s goals ahead of their own. With the release of the text of his speech to students, we see this mind-set in action:</p>
<p>So, the message to the students is that they should stay in school and study hard, not strictly for the benefits of creating more opportunities and achieving a better life for themselves, but principally so that they can become good, productive citizens and contribute to solving the countries myriad problems.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small">&#8220;<strong><em>Don&#8217;t let your country down!   Meet your obligation and commit to serving the common good.</em></strong>&#8221; </span>This is not the credo of freedom, but instead a call to slavery.</ul>

<span style="color: #71888f;font-size: large"><a name="INDIVIDUAL"></a><strong>Individualism versus Self-Sacrifice</strong> </span></p>
<ul>
<li> 
<ul>&#8220;<em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain <strong>unalienable Rights</strong>, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That <strong>to secure these rights, Governments are instituted</strong> among Men, <strong>deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed</strong> &#8230;</em>&#8220;   [Emphasis added]</ul>
<ul><span style="font-size: xx-small"><em>To create a society where free people may pursue their own individual goals and dreams—in other words, their happiness—while living in peace and harmony with others.</em> </span></ul>
</li>
<p>What is insidious about the push for National Service is how it so totally violates the concept of <strong>individualism,</strong> which is the bedrock principle underlying the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of the Constitution was to: (1) recognize the unalienable rights of each individual; (2) establish a governmental framework for protecting those rights; and (3) place strict limits on the power and scope of government so that it could not abuse its mandate and itself become an instrument for the violation of individuals&#8217; rights. As the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> states: </p>
<p>This statement very clearly established the hierarchical relationship between a citizen and their government. The existence of the <a href="http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ari_ayn_rand_man_rights">rights of the individual</a>, and the need to protect those rights, are the sole justification for the creation of <a href="http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ari_ayn_rand_the_nature_of_government">government</a>. A government is not a sovereign entity with any inherent rights or privileges of its own, but instead, only acquires it legitimacy from the voluntary consent of its citizens, and only insofar as it adheres to its constitutionally prescribed function of protecting its citizen&#8217;s rights. The existence of government is not an <strong>end</strong> we strive for, but simply a <strong>means</strong> to a different end:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Barack Obama&#8217;s incessant call for <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;num=100&amp;q=Barack+Obama+sacrifice&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;oq=&amp;fp=d9ca629f83f82f8a">sacrifice</a> by US citizens is an affront to the Constitution. Free individuals are not a resource to be called upon to serve at the behest of the President for the government&#8217;s grand designs. Instead, it is the government, which has been instituted for the explicit purpose of serving the needs of its citizens in protecting their rights. By elevating the purpose and value of &#8220;<em>government</em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>society</em>&#8221; above that of the the citizen, Obama perverts the fundamental principle of the Constitution, substituting <strong>collectivism</strong> in place of <strong>individualism</strong>.</p>

<span style="color: #71888f;font-size: large"><a name="ALTRUISM"></a><strong>The Morality of Altruism</strong> </span></p>
<ul>
<li> 
<ul><em>1: unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others<br />
2: behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species</em></ul>
<ul>&#8220;<em>Power, Petey. I want to rule.<br />
Whom&#8230;?You. The world. It&#8217;s only a matter of discovering the lever. If you learn how to rule one single man&#8217;s soul, you can get the rest of mankind. It&#8217;s the soul, Peter, the soul. Not whips or swords or fire or guns. That&#8217;s why the Caesars, the Attilas, the Napoleons were fools and did not last. We will. The soul, Peter, is that which can&#8217;t be ruled. It must be broken. Drive a wedge in, get your fingers on it—and the man is yours. You won&#8217;t need a whip—he&#8217;ll bring it to you and ask to be whipped. Set him in reverse—and his own mechanism will do your work for you. Use him against himself. Want to know how it&#8217;s done? See if I ever lied to you. See if you haven&#8217;t heard all this for years, but didn&#8217;t want to hear, and the fault is yours, not mine.There are many ways. Here&#8217;s one. Make man feel small. Make him feel guilty. Kill his aspiration and his integrity. &#8230; Kill man&#8217;s sense of values. Kill his capacity to recognize greatness or to achieve it. &#8230; Kill by laughter. &#8230;Here&#8217;s another way. This is most important. Don&#8217;t allow men to be happy. Happiness is self-contained and self-sufficient. Happy men have no time and no use for you. Happy men are free men. So kill their joy in living. Take away from them what they want. Make them think that the mere thought of a personal desire is evil. Bring them to a state where saying &#8216;I want&#8217; is no longer a natural right, but a shameful admission. Altruism is of great help in this. Unhappy men will come to you. They&#8217;ll need you. They&#8217;ll come for consolation, for support, for escape. Nature allows no vacuum. Empty man&#8217;s soul—and the space is yours to fill.I don&#8217;t see why you should look so shocked, Peter. This is the oldest one of all. Look back at history. Look at any great system of ethics, from the Orient up. Didn&#8217;t they all preach the sacrifice of personal joy? Under all the complications of verbiage, haven&#8217;t they all had a single leitmotif: sacrifice, renunciation, self-denial? Haven&#8217;t you been able to catch their theme song? &#8216;Give up, give up, give up, give up&#8217;? Look at the moral atmosphere of today. Everything enjoyable, from cigarettes to sex to ambition to the profit motive, is considered depraved or sinful. Just prove that a thing makes men happy and you&#8217;ve damned it. That&#8217;s how far we&#8217;ve come. We&#8217;ve tied happiness to guilt. And we&#8217;ve got mankind by the throat. &#8230;</p>
<p>The world of the future. The world I want. A world of obedience and of unity. A world where the thought of each man will not be his own, but an attempt to guess the thought of the next neighbor who&#8217;ll have no thought—and so on, Peter, around the globe. Since all must agree with all. A world where no man will hold a desire for himself, but will direct all his efforts to satisfy the desires of his neighbor who&#8217;ll have no desires except to satisfy the desires of the next neighbor, who&#8217;ll have no desires—around the globe, Peter. Since all must serve all. A world in which man will not work for so innocent an incentive as money, but for that headless monster—prestige. The approval of his fellows—their good opinion—the opinion of men who&#8217;ll be allowed to hold no opinion. An octopus, all tentacles and no brain.</p>

<p>Individuals are turned into sacrificial animals, only by accepting the moral code of altruism, which is <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/altruism">defined</a> as: </p>
<p>Only by first convincing someone that their personal hopes, dreams, desires, feelings, goals and lives are of less importance when compared to those of another person, group, or even possibly to an abstract ideal, do you prepare them for slavery and sacrifice. Growing up in Soviet Russia during the aftermath of its revolution, the philosopher, Ayn Rand, watched first hand as the morality of altruism played itself out, writ large across an entire country&#8217;s population. The lesson she learned was that altruistic dogma applied only to those destined to be ruled by an elite leadership that was not subject to the same standards. Or as the character Ellsworth Toohey from <em>The Fountainhead</em> puts it, when asked by Peter Keating as to what he is really after:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can you hear the voice of our politicians in these words?</p>
<p>When you read the phrase:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>isn&#8217;t it ominously suggestive of the video by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, pledging to be servants to the President and all mankind?</p>
<p>While the concept of <em>National Service</em> is particularly vicious, it is only one program of many that the government imposes, or attempts to impose, upon us under the justification of self-sacrifice and service to others. All social programs that declare that some individual or group is entitled to goods and services <em>by right</em>, also involve some other party that is then made responsible for <em>providing</em> those goods and services at <em>their</em> expense. Some of these include:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each recipient benefiting from these programs abdicates responsibility for their own life and casts themselves into the role of <strong><em>ward of the state</em></strong>. And, for each of these government programs to operate, other individuals are required to work, producing value in the marketplace, only to have the product of their labor taken from them by force and redistributed to &#8220;<em>the wards</em>&#8221; against their will, while receiving no direct benefit themselves. The proper term for this arrangement is <strong><em>slavery</em></strong>.</p>
<p>It is the morality of altruism that makes all of this possible, and it is altruism that must be stopped.</ul>

<li> 
<ul>&#8220;<em>Reason is man&#8217;s only proper judge of values and his only proper guide to action. The proper standard of ethics is: man&#8217;s survival qua man—i.e., that which is required by man&#8217;s nature for his survival as a rational being (not his momentary physical survival as a mindless brute). Rationality is man&#8217;s basic virtue, and his three fundamental values are: reason, purpose, self-esteem. Man—every man—is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others; he must live for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself; he must work for his rational self-interest, with the achievement of his own happiness as the highest moral purpose of his life.</em>&#8220;  — Any Rand   [From the <a href="http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=objectivism_essentials">Ayn Rand Institute</a>]</ul>
<ul>&#8220;<strong><em>I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.</em></strong>&#8220;</ul>

<strong>Click here to take <em>The John Galt Pledge</em></strong>  This country is at a crossroads. We can either continue the move towards the form of collectivism that is being actively pursued by the current administration, abdicating more and more responsibility for our own lives while placing ourselves in servitude to others and agreeing to be ruled by the elite in Washington D.C. — or we can change direction and move back towards the principles of freedom and individual rights embodied in <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/declar.html">The Declaration of Independence</a> and the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html">U.S. Constitution</a>. And as Ayn Rand identified it in the quotes above, <strong><em>this is a battle for nothing less than one&#8217;s very soul.</em></strong>The antidote is to adopt a morality of rational self-interest: </p>
<p>In the novel, <em>Atlas Shrugged</em>, the essence of this morality was encapsulated in the following pledge that was taken by every person who wished to reside in the haven of <em>Galt&#8217;s Gulch</em>:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This pledge, which one makes to oneself, is an expression of individualism, and a <strong><em>Personal Declaration of Independence</em></strong> from the shackles of both society and the state.</p>
<p>The first half of the pledge is a recognition that no others have a claim, by right, to your life, whether they be an individual, a group, or the government, and you assert your freedom and independence.</p>
<p>The second half of the pledge indicates a recognition that you are a self-sufficient adult, prepared to take responsibility for the conduct of your own life, and, respecting the rights of others, you have no intention of forcing them to fulfill that responsibility for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you agree with this, then you qualify to take the <strong>John Galt Pledge</strong>. Click on the image below and add your name to a growing list of individuals demanding that the government respect and defend their personal autonomy and restore their lost constitutional rights.</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><em>ACORN Funder JPMorgan Chase Doesn’t Look Good in New Madoff Book </em><br />
</strong></h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.nlpc.org/stories/2009/08/10/acorn-funder-jpmorgan-chase-doesn%E2%80%99t-look-good-new-madoff-book">NLPC</a></strong></p>
<div>A new book by <em>Barron’s</em> reporter Erin Arvedlund asserts that banking giant JPMorgan Chase became aware of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme months before his arrest, prompting the bank to liquidate its positions in a Madoff-related fund. Yet, the bank continued to accept deposits into Madoff’s main account at the bank from unsuspecting investors who were about to lose everything.NLPC is a critic of JPMorgan Chase’s support for political and social causes that are contrary to the bank’s interests and hostile to the capitalist system itself, such as ACORN. Although these new revelations are a separate controversy, both reflect an apparent willingness by the firm to work with shady enterprises if it is perceived to be in its own interest.The book is titled <em>Too Good to be True</em>. Excerpts appeared in <em>Barron’s</em> over the weekend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Arvedlund has a great deal of credibility on anything Madoff-related, having written a story in 2001 suggesting that Madoff’s consistent record of returns was suspect.</div>
<p>The only good thing that can be said about JPMorgan Chase is that, like Arvedlund, it was perceptive enough to smell the Madoff rat. But unlike Arvedlund, who tried to sound the alarm, JPMorgan Chase kept quiet and tried to protect itself.</p>
<p>Arvedlund explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2006, JPMorgan Chase developed a derivative product for its wealthy clients. It was linked to the Fairfield Sentry Fund offered by the Madoff feeder Fairfield Greenwich. The bank offered investors &#8212; mostly in Europe &#8212; a note that paid three times the earnings, or returns, of the Sentry Fund. The note matured in five years. To hedge its risk on the derivative product, the bank invested in the Sentry Fund itself. This way, if the Sentry Fund did well, the bank&#8217;s returns would offset its obligation on the notes.</p>
<p>By the summer of 2008, JPMorgan Chase had deposited $250 million with the Sentry Fund. With the financial meltdown on Wall Street and around the world in full swing, most of the markets were down 30% or more, and yet the Sentry Fund reported gains of 5%. JPMorgan Chase began to grow suspicious.</p></blockquote>
<p>As a result:</p>
<blockquote><p>In September 2008, JPMorgan Chase quietly liquidated its entire $250 million position in the Sentry Fund, even though it remained liable on the derivatives it had sold to the wealthy clients. At the time, the Fairfield Sentry investment notes were showing a 5% gain for the year. The bank had concluded Madoff was a phony, and the only way to protect itself was to liquidate anything connected with Madoff.</p></blockquote>
<p>When JPMorgan Chase bought what was left of Bear Stearns last year, it inherited a relationship with Madoff that is also sure to raise more questions about its ethics. According to Arvedlund:</p>
<blockquote><p>Brokers who traded at Bear Stearns used the firm&#8217;s automated equity order system to buy and sell stocks. A broker would enter the stock symbol and the number of shares he or she wanted to trade. The system was supposed to do the rest: work to find the best counterparty to trade with from among the many market makers that traded with Bear Stearns. However, for Nasdaq stocks, Bear Stearns had an unwritten code: the system automatically defaulted to trade with Madoff.</p>
<p>Madoff reportedly paid Bear Stearns substantial fees for this default setting on their equity order system, and he may have paid other customers to do the same as well. Between 2000 and 2008, Bear Stearns&#8217; 400 or so brokers all used this system, and all their Nasdaq trades defaulted to Madoff. It was a big source of revenue for Madoff, and it vaulted Bear Stearns to a position as the largest counterparty trading with Madoff. The arrangement was in place when Bear Stearns went under in early 2008, and it continued under JPMorgan Chase.</p></blockquote>
<p>JPMorgan Chase and/or the JPMorgan Chase Foundation are major funders of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and related organizations. ACORN is a network of as many as 360 organizations, structured to escape accountability, a network far more complicated than anything Madoff ever constructed.</p>
<p>ACORN has had its own embezzlement scandal. Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, stole nearly $1 million in 1999 and 2000. ACORN treated the crime as an internal matter and did not even notify its board. A whistle-blower made it public. Dale Rathke remained on ACORN’s payroll until June 2008.</p>
<p>According to its 2007 tax return (the most recent available), the JPMorgan Chase Foundation made a million-dollar gift to ACORN Housing, Inc. that year. This donation is likely the tip of the iceberg of the bank’s total support of ACORN. JPMorgan Chase is one of ACORN largest corporate backers, if not the largest. JPMorgan Chase can take a step toward accountability by disclosing the specifics of its support for ACORN.</p>
<p>Last fall, JPMorgan Chase accepted $25 billion in taxpayer TARP funds. In 2008, the top 200 bonus recipients at JPMorgan Chase received $1.12 billion. The firm had 1,144 employees who received a bonus of least $1 million last year, more than any other Wall Street firm.</p>
<p>You would think with all these millionaires walking around the company, there would be at least a passing acknowledgement of the wealth generation potential of a free economy. Not a chance.  CEO Jamie Dimon sneers at free market advocates. The firm funds a variety of anti-business activists, ACORN being just the most dramatic example.</p>
<p>Dimon is apparently not self-conscious either about ACORN’s role in the residential mortgage crisis, much of it driven by subprime lending. Starting in the Seventies, ACORN saw the big banks as shakedown targets. The weak-kneed executives at these institutions were pretty easy pickings.</p>
<p>ACORN screamed “racism.” It accused mortgage lenders of “redlining,” or denying credit to borrowers in certain areas. It picketed the homes of bank directors in leafy suburbs.<br />
A way out was offered to the banks. They could make contributions to ACORN and/or they could “invest” in ACORN Housing, which made loans to “underserved” borrowers.</p>
<p>They also could back off from opposition to a law called the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 that required banks and thrifts to lend more money from areas where they took deposits. It meant more loans to “underserved” communities, and a loosening of lending standards.</p>
<p>Of course, many of ACORN’s “deserving” borrowers were not deserving at all. Increasingly, the banks dumped the loans on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were under pressure by Congressmen like Barney Frank (D-MA) to make more loans to the “underserved.”</p>
<p>The result was the mortgage meltdown that nearly took down our entire financial system, providing the justification for the massive bailouts of the banks. But Dimon acts like JMorgan Chase has no culpability because of its “solid” balance sheet.</p>
<p>According to Arvedlund, there are already civil suits against JPMorgan Chase by investors whose funds were acccepted into Madoff’s account at the bank after it had concluded that Madoff was a fraud. Of course, this may also be criminal, but there is no word that the bank is the target of a criminal investigation.</p>
<p>During the campaign, Dimon was a vocal supporter of Barack Obama. On July 18, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/business/19dimon.html?_r=1&amp;src=sch">the <em>New York Times</em> called Dimon “Obama’s favorite banker.”</a> Dimon may hope that this relationship will insulate his firm from prosecution in the Madoff case. In any event, JPMorgan Chase’s culture must be questioned, along with Dimon’s credibility and leadership.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff">The Liberty Tree Lantern analysis and commentary on the above article: </span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong><span style="color: #800000">J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is one of the 12 Banking concerns that own The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221;.</span></strong>  See: <a title="Permanent Link to OWNERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE" rel="bookmark" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/07/ownership-of-the-federal-reserve/">OWNERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE</a>.  This bank is one of the programmers of The MATRIX, our economy that only exists in our minds because our minds have been programmed to believe that a small piece of paper with green ink on it is worth 100 cents, when in the real world, outside of The MATRIX, outside of our minds, they are really only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents each. So you have never been even close to fully paid for your labor and you have never paid for anything your mind believes you paid for.  In essence nothing,<span style="text-decoration: underline"> IN A FINANCIAL SENSE</span>, you can see, touch or smell really exists because it was paid for with almost worthless pieces of paper with ink on it.  How can you buy a car or a refrigerator with nothing more than  pieces of paper with almost nothing backing it up, that is printed out of thin air on glorified computer printers at a Federal Reserve office?  If this is possible then how come only these super rich bankers can print out this Monopoly money, you have a computer printer too, why can&#8217;t you print your own?  The Banking cartel of twelve privately owned banks, do it almost every single day.  Now the question that will really blow your mind is; if you didn&#8217;t really pay for anything you have, because you used dollars that in the real world was only worth about 4 cents or less each, than who really owns it?  Someday soon we may all find out and it isn&#8217;t going to be pretty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">In any case this MATRIX is going to collapse, by something known as</span> <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/07/14/the-matrix-our-economy-that-only-exists-in-our-minds-is-soon-to-collapse/">hyper-inflation</a>, <span style="color: #0000ff">which is actually the revaluation of the dollar to its true value by the entire world, in less than three years.  Welcome this nightmare folks, because without the total collapse of the MATRIX we will never be free or have liberty, or ever be individually wealthy.  The MATRIX was created to imprison our minds and enslave us for the power and wealth of the power hungry megalomaniacs of the world; the forty owners of The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; and their cronies in the U.S. Government and in &#8216;certain&#8217; BIG Corporations.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Pray for the <span style="text-decoration: underline">temporary</span> horror of the utter collapse of The MATRIX, our economy, because if we each INDIVIDUALLY BUT UNITED fight for and   PERSONALLY   ENFORCE  the rule of LAW that we wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution upon our U.S. Government, word for word, in spirit and intent, as it WAS meant on the day it was ratified, then the vast majority of our common average working men and women will, through very hard work and the blessings of God, become wealthy with REAL money from our creator.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">So pray people, pray for the end of our economy, THE MATRIX, our prison of the mind, which now uses each and every one of us as though we are utter slaves of &#8220;the system&#8221; being controlled and manipulated through usurpation, Constitutionally illegal legislation, tyranny, oppression, taxation and so-called tax credits where they first STEAL our earnings, before we even get them, in the form of Federal, FICA, and Medicare &#8221;withholding&#8221; and payroll taxes that we would have otherwise received from our employers on our paychecks, and then they say they will give us a &#8220;little fraction&#8221; of what they stole out of our paychecks IF we cow tow to their DEMANDS and mandates.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">What gives them the right to hold us in such utter contempt, when it was We The people who &#8216;borrowed&#8217; them SEVENTEEN <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">enumerated items</span></strong> in <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8</a> of The Constitution as further supported by the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9">9th and 10th Amendments </a>in The Bill of Rights, certain authorities that we individually received from our creator,  for the &#8216;privilege&#8217; of handling for us.    <strong><span style="color: #ff0000">How dare they?</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE   and the dovetail CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED (but independent and sovereign) STATES OF AMERICA, <strong>today</strong>, so you know what you must fight for.  Also read the numerous writings of our founding fathers.   And be sure to read</span> <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/08/19/the-light-of-the-liberty-tree-lantern-guided-by-these-principles/">The 5000 Year Leap</a> <span style="color: #0000ff">which will greatly facilitate the meaning, spirit and intent of the Declaration and the Constitution so that you understand both of them perspicuously.</span> </p>
