<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>

<p> <br />
Dear C4L (Campaign for Liberty)  Member,</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, we sent out an alert that Representative Mel Watt was attempting to water down H.R. 1207 in the House Financial Services Committee.</p>
<p><strong>The latest reports we have received have informed us that a vote on the Watt amendment could come TODAY!</strong></p>
<p>There’s still time for us to stop this attack on Audit the Fed!  <a href="http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/3617452:5259055823:m:1:175336857:12D57505C1EDCF26E00D65FB7F9436C7">Click here to get a full list of Financial Services Committee members, along with their contact information</a>.</p>
<p>Financial Services leadership seems determined to include Audit the Fed as part of a regulatory reform package instead of passing it as a standalone bill.</p>
<p>While C4L will still do everything in its power to fight for a standalone vote on Audit the Fed on the House floor, it is critical we challenge Watt&#8217;s amendment in Committee.</p>
<p>It will become much easier for our representatives to claim they still support Audit the Fed on the House floor if the Watt version passes, when, in reality, Representative Watt&#8217;s amendment puts <em>restrictions</em> on Government Accountability Office audits of the Fed.</p>
<p>For example, Watt&#8217;s amendment prevents the GAO from auditing or reviewing decisions to authorize, modify, extend, or terminate loans or liquidity facilities.</p>
<p><strong>Congressman Paul will offer an amendment in Committee restoring an audit of the Fed’s entire $2 trillion balance sheet</strong>, but we have received word that some of the Democrat members may be waffling on their support for his amendment.</p>
<p>Help us turn up the pressure on these members!  Below is the list of Democrats on the committee who have cosponsored H.R. 1207.  <strong>Please call them and urge them to vote &#8220;Yes&#8221; on Ron Paul&#8217;s amendment.</strong>  Click on their names to get their web contact information.</p>

<p>We are continuing our work to achieve a standalone vote on H.R. 1207 on the House floor, but we must first stop the Watt amendment in the Financial Services Committee.</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>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Anybody please comment.  If you don&#8217;t see a comment box below, just click on the title of this post and one will be produced below for you.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>&#8216;Freedoms and liberties which we enjoy under the U.S. Constitution are under siege&#8217;</h4>
<hr size="1" />Posted: November 10, 2009<br />
8:28 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Bob Unruh<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p>A <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">Colorado</a> sheriff who made headlines for his deliberate non-compliance with the politically correct attitude of his county toward Christmas, today honored the U.S. Marine Corps on its 234th birthday, along with veterans and members of other military branches.</p>
<p>And he implored them to be vigilant now as ever, since their service is not over.</p>
<p>The comments come from <a href="http://www.larimersheriff.org/BullsEye">Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden,</a> who occasionally releases a personal column called the BullsEye.</p>
<p>He was in the news in recent Christmas seasons when he scoffed at county rules about using neutral themes such as penguins for Christmas decorations and staged the display of his own traditional Christmas tree and accompanying American themes and decorations at his department&#8217;s facility in Fort Collins, Colo.</p>
<p>Alderden also recently tackled the much-ballyhooed case of a balloon &#8220;accidentally&#8221; released by a family who reported they feared their child was aboard. The two-hour flight of the balloon captured the attention of networks coast-to-coast until it was discovered no child was aboard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The family later was investigated for allegedly falsely reporting the child was on the balloon.</p>
<p>Alderden spoke a few days ago at the local Marine Corps Ball and released his remarks in today&#8217;s column.</p>
<p>He cited bumper stickers seen on vehicles driven by members of the Marine Corps:</p>
<ul>
<li>U.S. Marines – Certified <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">Counselors</a> to the 72 Virgins Dating Club</li>
<li>U.S. Marines – Travel agents to Allah</li>
<li>The Marine Corps – When It Absolutely, Positively Has To Be Destroyed Overnight</li>
<li>Marine Sniper – You can run, but you&#8217;ll just die tired!</li>
</ul>
<p>Alderden told the Marines that when he was elected 11 years earlier, he decided he wanted his office to be the Marine Corps of law enforcement agencies.</p>
<p>He talked about freedom and liberty, asking the Marines to be ready, now more than ever.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t mean for this message to be overly political, certainly not partisan political, but the Marines have shed blood to defend the Constitution,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I fear what is happening in Washington, D.C., particularly with the over-reach of the federal government, intruding into areas beyond what is authorized in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The freedoms and liberties which we enjoy under the U.S. Constitution are under siege,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He said there has been:</p>
<ul>
<li>Legislation being proposed that &#8220;infringes&#8221; on the right to keep and bear arms.</li>
<li>Legislation being proposed that violates the people&#8217;s rights to be secure in their <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">homes</a>.</li>
<li>Legislation that authorizes the government to seize <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">businesses</a>.</li>
<li>Places in the country that are considering allowing Islamic <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">law</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;I look at the growth of Muslim extremism, even within our <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">borders</a>, most recently demonstrated just a few days ago at Fort Hood, and I fear for our country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;My message to you is simple: be vigilant. &#8216;Once a Marine always a Marine.&#8217; Your service is not over.&#8221;</p>
<p>He quoted from the Marine Corps oath: &#8220;I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Foreign – and domestic,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The United States military is the best in the world. We have the best <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">equipment</a>. We have the finest young men and women. If our country fails, it won&#8217;t be because our military is defeated. It will be due to the complacency of the politicians in Washington, D.C., and a failed educational system.&#8221;</p>
<p>He cited some of the early honors earned by the Marines, fighting Muslim pirates in the Barbary Wars in the early 1800s, through the War of 1812, <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=115662" target="_top">World Wars I</a> and II, and Korea and Vietnam.</p>
<p>&#8220;Panama. Grenada. Iran. Somalia. Lebanon. Liberia. Kuwait. Iraq. Afghanistan. Wherever Americans are in jeopardy, wherever freedoms and liberties are threatened &#8211; the Marines are there,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff">Marines, active and retired:  Do you still believe in your Oath and being Semper Fidelis?  If So See: <a href="http://oathkeepers.org/oath/">Oath Keepers</a></span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000">America and our fellow countrymen need you to protect The Constitution from ALL Enemies, Both Foreign and Domestic!</span></h2>

			<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>

<hr size="1" />Posted: October 31, 2009<br />
6:15 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Drew Zahn<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 201px"><img style="border: 0px" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/misc/paulmedium.jpg" border="0" alt="U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas" width="191" height="230" /><p class="wp-caption-text">U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas</p></div>
<p><span><br />
</span>Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, has complained that the bill he sponsored calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve has been &#8220;gutted&#8221; by congressional committee, pointing specifically to a legislator whose campaign coffers have been boosted by the banking <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">industry</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=90608">As WND reported</a>, Paul sponsored <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h1207:">H.R. 1207</a>, a bill requiring the Federal Reserve – an organization that&#8217;s independent from the U.S. government but nonetheless oversees U.S. monetary policy – be opened to oversight by Congress. <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=111812">The plan compiled over 300 co-sponsors in the House</a> before being sent to committee.</p>
<p>But in a telephone interview with a Bloomberg reporter, Paul said the teeth have been ripped out of the bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing left; it&#8217;s been gutted,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;This is not a partisan issue. People all over the country want to know what the Fed is up to, and this legislation was supposed to help them do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paul told Bloomberg the bill has been stripped of provisions that closed loopholes protecting the Fed, including exemption from audits of transactions with foreign central banks and protected <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">communications </a>between the Board, reserve banks and staff.</p>
<p> <em><a href="http://www.wnd.com/petition_fed">Demand the money managers come clean by signing the petition in support of an audit of the Federal Reserve now!</a></em></p>
<p>Paul blamed the chairman of the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">House </a>Financial Service Committee&#8217;s panel on domestic monetary policy, <a href="http://watt.house.gov/contactinfo.asp">Rep. Mel Watt</a>, D-N.C., for eliminating &#8220;just about everything&#8221; in preparation for the bill&#8217;s consideration on the floor of the House.</p>
<p> Watt, is has also been revealed, has significant connections to the banking industry.</p>
<p>It its report, Bloomberg mentioned that Watt&#8217;s congressional district includes Charlotte, headquarters of Bank of America Corp., the biggest U.S. lender.</p>
<p>Further investigation through <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;cid=N00002328&amp;type=I">OpenSecrets.org</a> reveals that the largest share of Watt&#8217;s campaign contributions in the 2008 election cycle came from the finance, <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">insurance</a> and real estate industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/091031wattcontributors.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="534" height="279" /><br />
<span>Breakdown of <a id="KonaLink4" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: xx-small;font-weight: 400"><span>industries</span></span></a> supporting Rep. Mel Watt&#8217;s 2008 campaign (graph from <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;cid=N00002328&amp;type=I">OpenSecrets.org</a>)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left">In fact, of $609,072 given to Watt, $217,109 – or 35.6 percent – came from the money sector, including over $187,000 – or nearly 31 percent of his total contributions – from political action committees within the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">finance </a>, insurance and real estate industry. The next highest industry supporting Watt was labor, which contributed only 14 percent of his total war chest.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the four largest contributors to Watt&#8217;s cause were Bank of America, Wachovia Corp., American Express and the American Bankers Association.</p>
<p>Keith Kelly, a spokesman for Watt, declined to comment and told Bloomberg Watt wasn&#8217;t immediately available for an interview.</p>
<p>Paul, however, told Bloomberg he intends to introduce an amendment that would restore the bill&#8217;s legislation to its original language when it comes to the House floor for a vote.</p>
<p>Paul long has been a critic of the secrecy of the Federal Reserve.</p>
<p>&#8220;Throughout its nearly 100-year history, the Federal Reserve has presided over the near-complete destruction of the United States dollar,&#8221; he said earlier. &#8220;Since 1913, the dollar has lost over 95 percent of its purchasing power, aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve&#8217;s loose monetary policy.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=20&amp;ITEM_ID=2691">You&#8217;ve never needed to understand money like you need to understand it now! &#8220;Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free&#8221; unravels the deception of the Federal Reserve and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading.</a></em></p>
<p>&#8220;Since its inception, the Federal Reserve has always operated in the shadows, without sufficient scrutiny or oversight of its <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">operations</a>,&#8221; Paul said when the plan to audit the Fed was introduced. &#8220;While the conventional excuse is that this is intended to reduce the Fed&#8217;s susceptibility to political pressures, the reality is that the Fed acts as a foil for the government. Whenever you question the Fed about the strength of the dollar, they will refer you to the Treasury, and vice versa. The Federal Reserve has, on the one hand, many of the privileges of government agencies, while retaining benefits of private organizations, such as being insulated from Freedom of Information Act requests.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=3271">Ron Paul&#8217;s &#8216;End the Fed&#8217;: What we need to do to fix America&#8217;s economic policy for future generations</a></em></p>
<p>Paul has warned, &#8220;The Federal Reserve can enter into agreements with foreign central banks and foreign governments, and the GAO is prohibited from <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">auditing</a> or even seeing these agreements. Why should a government-established agency, whose police force has federal <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">law enforcement</a> powers, and whose notes have legal tender status in this country, be allowed to enter into agreements with foreign powers and foreign banking institutions with no oversight? Particularly when hundreds of billions of dollars of currency swaps have been announced and implemented, the Fed&#8217;s negotiations with the European Central Bank, the Bank of International Settlements, and other institutions should face increased scrutiny, most especially because of their significant effect on foreign policy. If the State Department were able to do this, it would be characterized as a rogue agency and brought to heel, and if a private individual did this he might face prosecution under the Logan Act, yet the Fed avoids both fates.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=108262">WND previously reported that the Fed,</a> despite being ordered to disclose to whom it awarded some $2 trillion in discount &#8220;stimulus&#8221; <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">loans</a>, continues its fight for secrecy.</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>
