As the debate over an audit of the Federal Reserve intensifies in the House, one camp is trotting out eight academics that it calls a “political cross section of prominent economists.”

A review of their backgrounds shows they are anything but.

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.

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.

In September, Huffington Post reported that the Federal Reserve has accomplished a soft form of effective control over the field of monetary economics simply by employing — and being the means for career advance — for an overwhelming proportion of the discipline.

Now that the Fed is locked in a legislative battle on the Hill, it can call on those economists to give their “unvarnished” opinions to lawmakers.

The connections that the seven economists lobbying Congress have to the Fed are not incidental and four of them maintain current positions.

Let’s run the traps:

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’s been since 1996; and another as an academic consultant to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he’s been since 1997.

Anil K. Kashyap is currently a consultant with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, a position he’s held since 1991. He’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.

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’s currently a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, a position he’s held since 2005. He was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 2004-2006.

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.

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.

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.

Micheal Woodford is currently on the Monetary Policy Advisory Committee of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a position he’s held since 2004. He’s also listed as a consultant to the research department there dating back to 2005. In the past, he’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.

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 “Deception and Abuse at the Fed”, says that those economists are simply in denial. “If you’re on the Fed payroll there’s a conflict of interest,” says Auerbach.

The tie between the economists backing Watt’s amendment and the Fed doesn’t by itself mean that it’s bad policy, but it does make clear which amendment is favored by the Federal Reserve. If there’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.

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.

The AFL-CIO and other labor groups, as well as Americans for Financial Reform signed on to a letter posted Wednesday calling for committee members to back the Paul-Grayson approach.

“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,” reads the letter.

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.

It’s a distinction that the note from Watt’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, “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.”

Commentary from The Liberty Tree Lantern:

Capt. Karl 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 The Trilateral Commission.  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 “mob rule”  from the remaining population so that by definition “Democracy” is the purest form of Socialism and/or Communism.  The Constitution, in contrast, “guarantees” a Republican form of government in Article 4 Section 4, so as to protect everybody’s individual unalienable rights, earnings and property from the immoral that would rob and steal and from the mob rule of “The Masses”, as Stalin would advocate.

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 “ultimately” 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 “broad coalition of liberal organizations that are lining up behind the Paul-Grayson amendment?  Don’t they understand that ALL GOVERNMENT MONEY comes from THE FEDERAL RESERVE and NOT from income taxes?  Haven’t they read the Grace Commission Report?  Without THE FED Socialism and Government “free stuff” couldn’t exist.  I don’t get it?

Just 12 months after voting by a 53-47 margin to put Barack Obama in the White House, only 43 percent of voters today would re-elect him, according to a new Zogby Internaional–O’Leary Report Poll.

“Most voters don’t trust the president on the number one issue of the day: job creation. On top of that, a surprising plurality of voters, and Independent voters in particular, don’t side with President Obama on the number one issue to him: whether or not he should be president,” said Brad O’Leary, a former NBC Westwood One talk show host and publisher of the O’Leary Report.

He’s also written “Shut Up America: The End of Free Speech.”

The pollsters on Nov. 10-12 surveyed 2,879 Americans who had voted in the 2008 presidential election. The results have a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.9 percent.

The poll asked: If the presidential election were held next month, would you vote to re-elect President Obama or would it be time for someone new in the White House?

The poll showed only 43 percent of Americans who voted in the 2008 presidential election say they would vote to re-elect Obama – a reduction by 10 percent in the votes Obama received on election day last year.

Forty-five percent say they want someone new to be president. Eleven percent say that their vote for or against Obama would depend on who is running against him, and 1 percent are not sure.

Significantly, the poll revealed that only 37 percent of independent voters would vote to re-elect Obama. Forty-six percent say they would like to see someone new. Seventeen percent said they would want to know the opposition first.

Additionally, the poll asked: Please tell me how much you trust the Obama administration to pass federal legislation to create jobs in 2010?

“Not at all” was the response from 42 percent of the voters. Another 11 percent said they do not trust Obama “much.” Only about 1 voter in four said they trusted the president “very much,” and 18 percent admitted they trusted him “somewhat.”

“President Obama’s popularity with the voting public has been eroding for some time, but these numbers really drive home

the point,” O’Leary said.

WND reported only weeks ago a majority of Americans also are alarmed over attempts by the White House to stifle dissent or suppress free speech.

 STILL THINK THIS IS  FUNNY?   – - -   Not one of  these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our  nation was the most prosperous  in the world.  Prior to the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT OF 1913 and the NON-ratified ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, by the LIAR Secretary of State Philanderer Knox and President Woodrow Wilson, in the same despotic year, the average common working man was increasing wealth at an unbelievable rate and was the envy of the world.  We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids in a loving caring family where they talked and actually had most meals together as a family.    What has happened? Can you spell usurping U.S. Congress, The Federal Reserve “System”, President(s) and Constitutionally contemptuous Supreme Court “activists” legislating from the bench?  In other words, we didn’t take care of our individual responsibilities to enforce the rule of OUR laws.

People, WE THE FREE, have been given our individual authority and unalienable rights by our creator.  We ‘borrowed’ some of our authority to the U.S. Government for the ‘privilege’ of handling ONLY SEVENTEEN enumerated items in Article 1 Section 8 of the LAW as We The People wrote, established and ordained on our Government to protect our unalienable rights; rights and supreme authority that were given to us by God himself.  What mere government has the right to usurp authorities that we never gave them as our servants; who are to serve us at our pleasure and who are to follow and obey the rule of law that we ordained through our individual authority that we were given by God?

Although there is a conflicting constitutionally contemptuous case, the Supreme Court found that the Sixteenth Amendment confers no new taxes on anyone who wasn’t taxed before it, referring to the apportionment clause with regards to direct taxes in Article 1 Section 2.  So the fact is there IS NO LAW requiring the average common working American citizen to file or pay Income Taxes.  See: www.TruthAttack.org  AND, the fact is, that the IRS has NEVER, not once in even ONE SINGLE CASE, brought forth the law that compels the average working American citizen to file or pay Income Taxes into any courtroom or proved its existance to any jury in the history of American courts.

More information and video PROOF for your own eyes and ears about perjury by the IRS in court:

 If the U.S. Government was FORCED to obey the LAW that we wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution and were thereby as written in black and white under Article 1 Section 8 and as further supported by the 9th and 10th Amendments in The Bill of Rights, only allowed to handle, as ENFORCED BY OUR EXISTING SUPREME LAW, the SEVENTEEN enumerated items therein and as the natural obvious result would yield the collapsed of the U.S. Government to only 1/5^th of its current size, scope and spending level and we the people would get to keep our earnings and decide for ourselves how to spend it all, can you even possibly imagine how our economy would boom?  Can any human being have the mental capacity to even comprehend the speed of how fast our individual wealth would increase and thereby the prosperity of our country and our posterity?  HOLY STIMULUS (!) – -  Can you imagine the advances in Science and technology with the creative forces of freedom and liberty unbridled, being restored to the individual American citizen as per the Declaration of Independence and its dovetail corresponding document The Constitution of The United (but independent and sovereign) States of America?  We need only look to our American heritage to get a glimmer into the future of the VAST individual American potential bathed in the environment of true righteousness and LIBERTY under God.

The answer to most all of our problems is not found in the halls of Congress, the White House, EITHER political party, or even the Supreme Court of the United States, but rather in the 28 FREEDOM Principles <Click hotlink.  Using these principles the United States of America, meaning THE PEOPLE not the Government, leaped 5000 Years in ONLY 200 years of our country’s birth in terms of technology and general human advancement.

And, now because of the usurpation and tyranny of all three branches of  The United States Government I still have  to ‘press 1′ for English!?

Here is the real time result of this scofflaw criminal legislation by President Woodrow Wilson and a number of U.S. Congressional henchmen from both houses who voted on The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 during the Christmas break when the righteous Congressmen were home with their families on Christmas Eve or perhaps the day before: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

The “Debtors Revolt” are Americans trying to make a reasonable demand that banks, virtually cronies of The Federal Reserve “System”, treat them with fairness and dignity.  The Liberty Tree Lantern, despite our belief in freedom and free enterprise, has held that it is not right that banks revise a person’s interest rate up significantly, just at the time when a person, often due to no fault of his own, is hitting hard times.  Often this unscrupulous action results in keeping an otherwise good man or woman down.  Some people are never able to recover or get out from under the debt that many of these banks levy on them.  Isn’t it bad enough that the person has fallen on hard times, perhaps lost his or her job due to “sensible” downsizing and modernizing by his company or for recession reasons?  What right does a bank have to kick a dog that is already down and out on his or her luck?  This is just not right or Christian like, to say the least.  In addition The Liberty Tree Lantern also believes that such “forced” corruption of business practices, besides being unchristian and unrighteous, also negatively impacts the overall economy of our county.  Our fellow countrymen are having their financial resources unscrupulously and forcibly, without ’sensible’ mutual agreement (small print is not appropriate and is nothing more than an malevolence trick to legally rob good honest respectable individual Americans, when they are down to take advantage of them, AND YOU KNOW IT!) and results in harmful impacts on our overall economy for individual Americans and our nation at large (Click: Thomas Jefferson on Big Banks, Politics & Government).

Furthermore, it is true that these banks, cronies of The Fed, are getting the money they borrow to Americans, for little or NOTHING, but yet they are charging us individual Americans as much as 20 – 30% interest and this when our fellow countrymen are down on their luck.  And this rate is raised up from as little as 2, 7 , or perhaps 14%  to this sky-high levels?  What the hell is that?  Americans, this Capt. Karl totally believes in profits and “properly” and “appropriately” run businesses and companies.  But this is just NOT APPROPRIATE, Godly or American.  This atrocious practice by these bankers has to come to an END for us individually and for our country as a whole.

The Liberty Tree Lantern and Capt. Karl, therefore, fully supports the Debtors Revolt and is proud of Ann Minch for her effort to help our fellow countrymen in distress. 

A number of credit card issuers boosted rates and changed terms on their cardholders ahead of a federal law that reins in such acts.

Kudos and CONGRATULATIONS, Debtors Revolt and Ann Minch for your recent success against these oppressor banks who seek to enslave men and women; just as those in the U.S. Government with taxation of all sorts and especially Income Taxes, which according to the 1984 Grace Commission Report, goes DIRECTLY to The Federal Reserve to pay interest on the “public Debt”.  It appears self-evident that the honorable Thomas Jefferson on Big Banks, Politics & Government was 110% correct.

Last night from our Americans for Prosperity “Hands Off My Health Care” town hall meeting at the Raleigh fairgrounds, I watched along with 1,100 activists as the President declared he has basically saved our economy since coming into office in January.

By “saved,” the President means passing the $1-trillion “stimulus” bill in the spring that drove our debt through the roof while wasting money on boondoggles across the nation.

The President’s self-congratulatory rhetoric was stunning when our unemployment is creeping toward 10%, budget deficits are the biggest in American history and our national debt is through the roof.

Sadly, the President then went on to repeat many of the same falsehoods that he has used for months in the health care debate. First, he declared that the Washington health care takeover will not change in any way the health care coverage of the 85% of Americans who currently like their health care. Most Americans know better.

Then, he once again attacked the millions of Americans like you and me who have attended town hall meetings, rallies, and tea parties to defend their health care and oppose the Washington takeover.

AFP activists telling President Obama Hands Off My Health Care

Next, the President stated – with a straight face – that his health care takeover will not increase the budget deficit a single penny! The crowd in Raleigh literally roared with laughter at this line, and I suspect most Americans know the truth – that’s one reason we’re winning.

President Obama said businesses would be required to “chip in to help cover the cost of their workers,” a clever way of saying he supports a punitive payroll tax for health care.  Does that mean he supports the 8 percent payroll tax included in H.R. 3200?  That’s a huge job-killer at a time our economy can least afford it.

The President stated that his “public option” – aka the government-run insurance plan – will not harm the private insurance that literally tens of millions of Americans enjoy. But we have seen him on video giving speeches where he details his vision of everyone relying on government health insurance. Click HERE for video.

The President did acknowledge the need for tort reform to get rid of frivolous lawsuits. However instead of putting this reform in the health care bill President Obama placed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius – a former lobbyist for trial lawyers – in charge of such reforms.

There’s so much more, but you get the idea.

I’ve got a request for you. The President and his friends are counting on this speech being a game changer. It’s not. But TODAY, you need to tell your member of Congress that the President’s speech has not changed your mind. Act now.

The bottom line is this: despite a rousing summer when your grassroots activism captured the imagination of the American people and slowed the momentum for the Washington health care takeover, we face a September, October and potentially November where the future of our health care is in doubt.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and the entire big government side is counting on you and me losing interest or growing weary of the fight.

We can’t let that happen. This Saturday’s 9/12 “Taxpayer March on Washington” is crucial and I hope to see you there. We’ll have both our Patients First “Hands Off My Health Care” buses cruising the streets around the Capitol.

Then, we’ve got to keep the pressure on these Senators and Representatives throughout the fall.

At our rally in Goldsboro yesterday afternoon (just before the big town hall in Raleigh), a lady named Janet walked up to me. Her son is a special needs child and she told me their family’s story of struggle and achievement – it was inspiring. But, Janet knows what is at stake for her precious child if we lose this battle over health care, and that’s why she took time from a busy day to attend the rally and fight the good fight.

In the decisive weeks and months to come, let’s make the same commitment.

Sincerely,

Tim Phillips

PS: Please let your Senator or member of Congress know that President Obama’s speech has not changed your position one bit. Today please call or e-mail because it’s important for Washington to get the message–the President’s speech changes nothing.

According to the Weekly Standard, Markey Wednesday at a “Congress on Your Corner” event at Colorado State University ”gave credence to seniors’ worries” when she said:  ‘There’s going to be some people who are going to have to give up some things, honestly, for all of this to work.  But we have to do this because we’re Americans.’”

Britton added that when Markey returns to Washington in September, her constituents want her to vote against a government takeover of health care.
 
“According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama’s socialized medicine and rationing scheme will cost taxpayers trillions of dollars, more than the total annual taxes now collected by the IRS,” Britton said.  “This bill will ration healthcare, with long waiting periods and government bureaucrats deciding who is worth enough to society to get needed treatment.  It will force private insurers out of business, denying the people of Colorado freedom of choice in health care.”
 
“People are angry and want Representative Markey and Senators Bennet and Udall to listen,” said Britton.  “Colorado does not want Washington, D.C. telling us at what temperature to set our thermostats, what light bulbs to buy, and dictate who can receive medical treatment.”

Behold; American’s across the expanse of our UNION of FREE, INDEPENDENT and SOVEREIGN States Awaken to the clarion call to protect and defend Our Constitution that We The People wrote, established and ordained as a set of LAWS upon our Federal Government;  A set of LAWS that ‘ENUMERATES’ the written list of only SEVENTEEN powers that by our INDIVIDUAL but united authority, bestowed upon us by our creator, we borrowed to the Federal Government, meaning both houses of Congress, The Obama and all Administrations and The Supreme Court, for the ‘privilege’ of handling ONLY these things listed in Our Constitution.

Witness and behold, enemies and Constitutional scofflaws in Congress and King Obama, as We The People continue to rise up in ever greater and greater numbers to stop the usurpation, tyranny and corruption that you and y0ur enablers in The Federal Reserve and The Apollo Alliance with all its divisions, subdivisions and minion thugs in Unions and Corporations thrust against us common folk, for we shall stand to protect our INDIVIDUAL rights, earnings, personal property and our Constitution.

We know that you and your minions are as the Tories and Loyalists of old to the powers of the King, Obama, as was with King George of England years back;  And, your usurpations and injury to our way of life, freedom and liberties be just as heinous.  We await your continued strikes against us by way of healthcare “reform” and Cap-n-Tax legislation formulating into taxation through massive additional withholding on our paychecks and hidden taxation in our utility bills and inflationary costs on our sustenance and life needs.  We stand aware of your efforts to force us to accept a One World Currency and following a One World Government, so we have nowhere on Earth to run for sanctuary from you and the sunshine of  freedom, Godly righteousness and our individual unalienable rights and prosperity.

One day soon, you shall see the Glory of the coming of We and our God, who bestowed upon us our rights and authority of which you usurp.  The words enshrined in our Constitution shall be conversed amongst the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps.

After you have executed your utter Constitutional contempt through the passage of the healthcare bill and Cap-n-Tax and you then add insults to injury through the massive imminent increases in all manner of tyrannical taxation enforced through coercion of the IRS and its raiding SWAT teams on our common folk small businesses and personal residences, who have been so blessed by God, then shall rise from the fruited plain, the brave from the vintage of God where the grapes of wrath are stored.

Watch and behold, all you TRUE domestic enemies of OUR Constitution in the form of Socialists, Communists and Fascists within and out of the Federal Government and all of their enablers / “ TORIES “, , ,   the swelling ranks of millions of our fellow countrymen rising at the ceaseless Tea Parties, Town Halls and in gatherings under Liberty Trees all across our Union. 

Don’t push our backs against the wall.  Our God doesn’t like it.  And, it was by his hand and grace that OUR Declaration of Independence was drafted.

The Apollo Alliance is Socialist / Communist radical group that is being sponsored by many Big Corporate sponsors and, of course, huge Unions.  The Liberty Tree Lantern believes it is important for all of us “so far” free Americans to know who we are stacked up against in the “Fascist” Corporate world who have joined forces with the Socialists and Communists to form the “hybrid” leading to a One World Order and enslavement through near total taxation, in the form of withholding, payroll, fees and all sorts of taxes, on our common working man earnings.  Besides both houses of the U.S. Congress and The Obama Administration, who are domestic enemies of and directly usurp and infringe upon The Constitution, here is who We The People are up against in it’s defense and to protect our INDIVIDUAL freedom, unalienable rights, finances and property according to the Socialist / Communist Apollo Alliance’s own website.  Be warned people, these are enemies of The Constitution and our very FREEDOM.  May God help us!

Rise Up, People!  We must fight to save our RIGHTS, FREEDOM, LIBERTY through every single word, word for word, in spirit and intent of The Constitution as it WAS meant on the day of its ratification by the still INDEPENDENT and SOVEREIGN States that form the UNION that makes up the United (but Independent and Sovereign) States of America. 

Here are our Corporate, Union, and Socialist / Communist / Fascist Activist enemies and traitors, “Tories” and/or “Loyalists”, if you will, in lockstep with the forces and members in the U.S. Government who are tyrants, usurpers and traitors to We The People and The Constitution who are amongst us and seek to tear apart our Constitutional LAW, that we wrote, established and ordained ON our Government, and destroy our republic in favor of despotism and totalitarianism of One World Socialist / Communist / Fascist United Nations style ”hybrid” Government.

If the above enemies of The Constitution, who sold us out and down the road to Socialism, Communism, and Fascism get their way, all of us Americans that believe in unalienable individual rights, freedom, liberty and individual prosperity shall end up like this:

Gentlemen, , ,    HOIST THE COLORS!

 The Brethren will still be looking here to us, TO LEAD!

And What Will They see?  Frightened bilge rats floating on a derelict ship? 

No!  NO they will see FREE  MEN!  And FREEDOM!   

 And what the enemy will see is the thrash of our hands, they will hear the ring of our swords – - -

AND   THEY   WILL   KNOW   WHAT   WE CAN DO!  By the sweat of our brows and the strength of our backs and the courage of our hearts!    GENTLEMEN,  ,  ,  ,      

HOIST THE COLORS!
