I am pleased that you enjoy The Liberty Tree Lantern. 

 As you are aware, if you are reading my blog, I stated that our economy is experiencing a Supernova Effect where the market skyrockets up to at least 11500 and perhaps even as high as 16,000 over the next few months.  I was forecasting that in January of this year based on the multiple TRILLIONS of printed out of thin air monopoly money that The Fed has and is continuing to inject into The MATRIX (our “perceived” economy).

 Nobody seems to fully understand “why” the market is going up so far and so fast.  Banks are not lending their money out to business or the public in general.  So what’s going on?  No banker is so stupid as to let good money just sit there, doing nothing, even though they are wise enough to not lend it out in the middle of The Great Recession.  Therefore, the Trillions are “seeping” into the markets.  This process will eventually lead to super heated economic growth and millions of people getting re-employed and some even making more than ever before.  When this happens, over the course of the next 9 – 18 months, this is when you know that the end, a new BLACK FRIDAY, is close at hand.  This is a very close facsimile as to what happened in 1929 and we all know what happened on a particular Friday “after” the weeks when most everybody in America thought that everything economically was on the mend and slept well and awoke to almost everything being lost.

  So, if you know what you are doing, go dancing in the market, have fun making a killing, BUT BE OUT before BLACK FRIDAY of 2011 probably Q2 or Q3 when the U.S. Government admits that they have to start collecting MASSIVE additional taxes from the working classes to pay for Social Security, Medicare, Socialized medicine (public option) and all manner of Constitutionally contemptuous legislation in the form of UNCONSTITUTIONAL Socialism passed by scofflaws since 1913 which has led us down that path to the valley of darkness known as a green “hybrid” of Socialism, Communism and Fascism in the form of a U.N. style one world despotic BIG BROTHER welfare police state.  A new world where there is nowhere on Earth to run from tyranny and oppression or the IRS Agents of The MATRIX.  In the new world that is coming, should We The People become cowards and not fight hopefully peacefully but in any case anyway necessary to protect our way of life, INDIVIDUAL liberty, freedom, rights and property, we Americans will realize that government “free stuff” leads only to the equal distribution of misery, poverty and ultimately slavery via Socialism.

 The MATRIX, our economy based on our minds being led through Mass Behavior Modification that a dollar is worth 100 cents, when in the “real world” it is actually worth 2 – 3 cents, will come to an end, just as it almost did in the last quarter of 2008, due to the natural forces of the universe; the inescapable physics of “natural law” (God’s Law of which under the Universe was created).  Gravity, for example, is a “natural law” of the universe which cannot be avoided forever.  In this case, for example, only God and the labor of man can create wealth.  Printing TRILLIONS of dollars of nearly worthless paper and ink, supported by almost nothing, with almost no collateral to speak of, and being able to take those pieces of paper with ink on them and buy homes, cars, trucks, boats, skyscrapers, pay labor, refrigerators, furniture, etc, etc, etc, with nothing more than pieces of paper printed from a glorified computer printer at the office of the cartel of twelve privately held banks called THE FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM”,  is shear madness.

 The Fed has thrown the financial ball of doom up into the air, it is being propelled by fuel we call monetary supply, but there is no way to reach escape velocity; soon the “Natural Law” of gravity (God’s Law) will start to pull down The MATRIX (our economy) that only exists in our minds and the dollar will be revalued by the world, in panic selling, down to its true value outside of The MATRIX (outside of our minds in the real global world) to 2 – 3 cents.  When this process starts to happen, I would estimate in Q2 or Q3 2011 coinciding with MASSIVE income tax increases on the middle class; Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, because Kansas, , ,   is going bye, bye! 

The result of all of this:  ………………..   ”Hyper-Inflation”.  What does that mean?  What if a single gallon of gasoline cost $80.00?  What if your MONTHLY utility bill went up to $5,323.00?  What would happen if a loaf of bread costs $80.00?  What if a gallon of milk cost $150.00?   -  -  -  -  -    Total “System” failure.  The MATRIX, this economy that we live in, because we have been programmed – “mass behavior modified” to believe that a dollar is worth 100 cents – when in reality it is worth only 2 – 3 cents, will be shut down, that is what it means.  And mark the words of ol’Capt. Karl, Obama is just waiting for this Crisis to implement the means to his ends of a one world government with totalitarian control over every living soul in the world and nowhere to run for rights or freedom: 

 (Liberty Tree Lantern readers should also be advised that The China Syndrome might cause the imminent collapse of The Matrix, financial core meltdown, even sooner than forecasted; should they decide to sell out American debt and dollars to protect themselves from the imminent collapse of the programming of our minds, known as our economy based on Monopoly Money that we call The MATRIX.  Unfortunately ol’Capt. Karl cannot read the Chinese minds so I cannot predict if or when this might happen.  But it is important that we all keep our ear on the rail to listen for signs that the Chinese are selling out of our debt so we don’t get caught with our financial pants down and our assets in the middle of a total market collapse.) 

Obama and his Communist / Socialist / Fascist cohorts knows this.  And this is why he is building a National Civilian Defense Force of conscripts made up of our 18 – 25 year old sons and daughters who are now “required” by law to undergo basic training (which includes “behavior modification and adjustment”) “that is as strong, powerful and well funded as the military”.

 I’ve taken a look at your website and find it of value.  I would be pleased to exchange links with you.

 Very truly yours in FREEDOM,

 Capt. Karl

How is Barack Obama going to sell the one world currency and later the one world government, (I call it “The Final Ultimatum”).  See the following video as a glimpse into the future, when the “merciful” Obama gives us “The Final Ultimatum” to “temporarily give up the Constitution”:

1.      in favor of a one world currency so that financial and monetary markets can be stabilized.

2.     So he and the Government can provide shelter, food and a job for us in these “desperate financial times”. 

3.     The U.S. combines with other so called “free western nations” to work together as a World Wide Union to restore our financial viability for not only people in America but to work together with people from around the world, for the common good of all.  (A green “hybrid” of World Socialism / Communism / Fascism where there is nowhere on Earth to run for individual freedom, rights or prosperity.  Total Control under a U.N. style government.)

DON’T FALL FOR IT, PEOPLE!  It is a trick to further their interests of TOTAL POWER and WORLD domination that, through INCOME TAXES that they have been using against us and OUR LAWS in The Constitution since 1913, in favor of Socialism, Communism and Fascist “hybrid” where there are no INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS and NO God. 

God, individual freedom and individual rights are unreservedly connected.

It is going to get hard when The MATRIX collapses, but we must endure it to restore our individual freedom, our individual rights, and our individual prosperity.  We must restore our right to work, earn and KEEP for ourselves whatever we aspire to keep and earn.  We must also have the RIGHT and the dignity to give from our earnings, freely, as WE decide and as we feel right in our own situations.  Government must never take that dignity and right away from us.  But we must all realize that freedom is going to cost us the hardship of the collapse of The MATRIX (our “perceived” economy).  We are going to have to be hungry and work and survive on our own without a lot of services.  If we are to ever restore our freedom, liberty and individual prosperity it is something we are just going to have to deal with; because we must REJECT OBAMA’S ‘Final Ultimatum’ in favor of Freedom and individual prosperity IN THE LONG RUN. 

How long must we endure hardship and hunger (and perhaps a Re-Revolutionary War if it comes down to that) until WE The People restore our individual prosperity and have an unbelievably great economy with the Federal Government out of our lives (which is the MEANING OF FREEDOM as defined by our Founding Fathers) and our individual sovereign States taking care of all the things that are not authorized in the ‘enumerated’ list of SEVENTEEN things, by the Constitution (See: 9th and 10th Amendments and also THE enumerated list of SEVENTEEN powers: Section 8 – Powers of Congress), for the Federal Government to handle?  I would speculate it would take about five years.  The first two will really be tough as so many of us Americans have become wimps.  But we will be all the better AND individually prosperous for it.

After The MATRIX  collapses we will learn to help each other and to give of our own free will to help and love our neighbors.  We will learn to pray to God for our blessings and NOT get down on our knees to pray to our Government, nor to THE FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM” to print paper “blessings” out of thin air from which to buy food, shelter and clothing. 

How did we ever get so far from our roots?  (Public Schools that are “Government” sponsored.  That has got to come to an end.  That and Main Stream Media owned by the Trilateral Commission (www.trilateral.org) who are a creature founded by THE FEDERAL RESERVE banking companies, is what programmed our minds to be so perverted  away from freedom, the prosperity that only it can produce and our God who blessed us with it.)

Can you be brave enough to suffer for five short years, after the collapse of our economy, for the Godly glory of individual freedom, liberty, and prosperity?  If not, , ,  than all Americans, our children and their children’s children will suffer a thousand years of darkness under a worldwide Socialist, Communist, Fascist “hybrid” U.N. style welfare BIG BROTHER, IRS Agent police state with nowhere to run;  Where there is no hope to get out from under the EQUAL DISTRIBUTION of misery in poverty and individual slavery for “The Masses”. 

Benjamin Franklin said; “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

How could you be so cruel as to choose Obama’s “Final Ultimatum” that is coming in the near future, rather than suffer only five years of hardship, for freedom?  How could you live with yourself choosing to place your own children and grandchildren in a slavery as horrendous as that under the Pharos?

And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!

Here is your glimpse into the future of how Obama is going to sell his ‘final ultimatum’:

God help us if we choose to give up on freedom and OUR Constitution in favor of Obama’s promise of shelter, food and a job.  It will soon come to that, in less than three years, folks.  Watch for ‘The Final Ultimatum’ and remember that ol’Capt. Karl told you that this was coming; but more importantly have the fortitude to reject it, so that the vast majority of average common Americans can become wealthy once again through courage, their own hard work, risk, freedom, liberty and the blessings of our creator; in a world where all of us get to prosper and keep, save and invest our earnings from our own labor, live and make our own daily decisions to live and do as WE the average working class, and all classes see fit as FREE Americans.

“GIVE ME A COUNTRY, A FREE COUNTRY!”   …. John Adams

Obama and his minions of Socialist / Communist / Fascist cohorts have the answers to DESTROY our country! 

Here are the answers to rebuild it:

The Internet’s buzzing about a bill in Congress its sponsor and supporters say is vital for protecting consumers from food-borne illnesses, but critics claim would place all U.S. food production “from farm to fork” under control of federal bureaucrats, effectively destroying family farms and farmers markets in the process and hijacking the burgeoning organic food movement.

“This bill will not just sweep up commercial food operations,” warns Tom DeWeese, who heads the American Policy Center in Virginia, in a Sledgehammer Alert, “[It] will subject hobby gardeners, home canners, anyone with a few chickens, or anyone who ‘holds, stores, or transports food’ … to registration, extensive management, and inspection by a huge new bureaucracy, the Food Safety Administration, even if the food items will only be consumed personally.”

“The truly chilling language lays out civil and criminal penalties of up to $1 million per day, per infraction, and imprisonment of five or 10 years, or both, depending how serious the violation(s),” De Weese adds, characterizing the bill as “over-the-top in its overreach.”

Particularly attention grabbing: the bill would bring in the National Animal ID System through the back door, opponents claim.

Introduced Feb. 4 by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), in the middle of the peanut-product recall, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (HR 875) was assigned to both the House Committee on Agriculture and the Energy and Commerce Committee. It has 41 co-sponsors. Although not yet scheduled for a hearing, proponents have been forced into damage control mode because of public outrage coming from a politically diverse opposition.

Spokesperson in DeLauro’s office offer assurances: “The bill does not apply to vendors at farmers markets, and therefore will not change the way this business runs. It is meant to address food sold in supermarkets.”

The non-profit Food and Water Watch weighs in: “There is no language in the bill that would result in farmers markets being regulated, penalized by any fines or shut down. Farmers markets would be able to continue to flourish under the bill. In fact, the bill would insist that unsafe imported foods are not competing with locally grown foods.”

A “Major Threat” to Local Food

But in an extensive analysis the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund – a DC-based advocacy group that champions locally grown and organic food production – foresees HR 875 fueling “a tremendous expansion of federal power, particularly the power to regulate intrastate commerce” and warns:

“While the proposed legislation tries to address the many problems of the industrial food system, the impact on small farms if the bill becomes law would be substantial and not for the better HR 875 is a major threat to sustainable farming and the local food movement.” [Emphasis added]

If enacted, there would be a reshuffling within the Department of Health and Human Services. The Food and Drug Administration, a division of HHS, would be split into two agencies – one to deal with food, the other with drugs and medical devices. This second agency would be titled the Federal Drug and Device Administration and keep the acronym FDA.

Food-safety functions would be transferred to a new Food Safety Administration, headed by a food tsar (Administrator of Food Safety) appointed by the President for a five-year term, with Senate approval. The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) and the Center for Veterinary Medicine – both presently part of the FDA — would move into the new Food Safety Administration, along with the National Marine Fisheries Service from the Department of Commerce.

That’s for starters.

The shakeup at Health and Human Services would be accompanied by tremendous expansion of federal regulatory power over the nation’s food producers, with mandated surveillance and monitoring of all farming, processing, transporting, and selling operations. The new agency is to “modernize and strengthen Federal food safety law,” making certain that food establishments are able to guarantee “that all stages of production, processing, and distribution of their products under their control satisfy the requirements of this law.”

The food tsar is tasked with developing and implementing a national food safety program, one that can ensure “that persons who produce, process, or distribute food meet their responsibility to prevent or minimize food safety hazards related to their products.”

This nationwide program is to be based on a “comprehensive analysis” of “hazards” – including identification of “the sources of potentially hazardous contamination or practices extending from the farm or ranch to the consumer that may increase the risk of food-borne illness.” The Administrator will also set up a national system for the registration of food establishments and foreign food establishments.

Defenders of H.R. 875 insist it wouldn’t overburden small farming operations; that the law is aimed at “Food establishments” – facilities where food is actually processed and packaged, where food-borne illnesses begin. Indeed, there’s a subsection under “Definitions” (Section 3) that at first reading appears would exclude farms from the onerous regulatory provisions of the law. Specifically:

“(13) FOOD ESTABLISHMENT (A) The term ‘food establishment’ means a slaughterhouse (except those regulated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act), factory, warehouse, or facility owned or operated by a person located in any State that processes food or a facility that holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients.

“(B) EXCLUSIONS: For the purposes of registration, the term ‘food establishment’ does not include a food production facility as defined in paragraph (14), other retail food establishments, …

“(14) FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY – The term “food production facility” means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation.”

The devil’s in the details, and these are in Section 206 which deals with Food Production Facilities. According to FTCLDF, the only thing farms and the other food production facilities don’t have to do is register with the FSA as food establishments must. The agency has sweeping powers to regulate farming practices, and is directed to issue regulations establishing “minimum standards related to fertilizer use, nutrients, hygiene, packaging, temperature controls, animal encroachment, and water.”

“The Feds would control to a much greater degree the inputs farmers can use as well as the products farmers can produce (raw milk). Unannounced federal inspections of small farms will be the order of the day, reducing the level of protection provided by the Fourth Amendment.”

Here’s a taste of what farmers and other food producers can expect from H.R. 875 if it becomes law:

• Each food production facility – no matter how small – would have to have a written food-safety plan describing “the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards.”

• Farmers selling directors to consumers would have to make their customer list available to federal inspectors.

Federal inspectors would be authorized to:

• inspect food production facilities to make sure the producer is “operating in compliance with the requirements of the food safety law;”

• conduct “monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate;”

• access and copy all records to determine if food is “contaminated, adulterated, or otherwise not in compliance with the food safety law or to track the food in commerce.”

FTCLDF stresses that these regulations and requirements apply even if the farm is engaged in only intrastate commerce – that is, within state boundaries. Under the existing Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, the FDA can only inspect farms that produce food destined for commerce across state lines. HR 875 changes this – all production and commerce becomes “interstate.” Section 406 provides: “In any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction shall be presumed to exist.”

“Traceability” and the National Animal ID System

Under Section 210 – “Traceback Requirements” – the Food Safety Administration is charged with setting up a national traceability system requiring farmers to keep extensive records that would enable inspectors to track “the history, use, and location of an item of food.”

This system is to be “Consistent with existing statutes and regulations that require record-keeping or labeling for identifying the origin or history of food or food animals,” including “The National Animal Identification system (NAIS) as authorized by the Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (AHPA).”

The problem is that NAIS was not authorized by the AHPA; it’s never been authorized by congressional legislation.

Jim Babka, editor of DownsizeDC.org, a political action website, regards this as a “bureaucratic initiative,” a “de facto authorization” of NAIS.

“This false assumption gives NAIS the aura of congressional approval,” he writes. “Instead, this is another step on the road to converting NAIS from a voluntary program to a mandatory one. This is exactly what we predicted three years ago when we launched our anti-NAIS campaign.”

Could “Raw” Milk Take a Hit?

Many critics are wondering whether they’ll be able to buy “raw” milk if HR 875 becomes law. According to the FTCLDF it’ll depend on the regulations, but the future doesn’t look good. Right now it’s illegal to sell unpasteurized milk across state lines, but some states allow its sale within their boundaries, albeit grudgingly and with heavy restrictions. HR 875 puts even this limited market in jeopardy.

FTCLDF explains:

“FDA has long wanted a complete ban on the sale of raw milk. The agency’s mantra is that raw milk should not be consumed by anyone at any time for any reason. The agency does not consider this subject to be debatable…Under HR 875, FSA is given statutory authority to unilaterally impose a ban.” [Emphasis added]

“Under HR 875, FSA has the power to adopt “preventative process controls to reduce adulteration of food” [Section 203], and to issue regulations that “limit the presence and growth of contaminants in food prepared in a food establishment using the best reasonably available techniques and technologies” [Section 203(b)(1)(D)]. FDA has long made it clear that in its opinion the best available technology to limit contamination in milk is pasteurization.”

Even if the FSA doesn’t issue an outright ban, raw milk producers could be harassed out of business instead. HR 875 designates dairies and farms processing milk as Category 2 Food Establishments – and these are to be “randomly inspected at least weekly.”

$1 Million-a-Day Fines for the Food Police

On March 14, during his weekly radio broadcast, President Barack Obama accused the Bush administration of having created a “hazard to public health” by not solving food contamination problems, adding he planned to set up set up a “Food Safety Working Group” to “upgrade our food safety laws for the 21st century.”

That’s going to cost money, and Obama said he’d ask Congress for $1 billion to pay for added inspectors and new laboratories.

If $1 billion isn’t enough, HR 875 has its own built-in money generator to make up any deficit. Fines can be assessed at up to $1 million a day per violation – and each day a violation continues is considered a separate offense. That’s for civil offenses. Criminal offenses – those causing illness or death — mandate lengthy jail terms for those deemed responsible.

Fines collected by the agency are to be deposited in an account in the Treasury, and the agency “may use the funds in the account without further appropriation or fiscal year limitation . . . to carry out enforcement activities under the food safety law.” The agency may also use the funds “to provide assistance to States to inspect retail commercial food establishments or other food or firms under the jurisdiction of State food safety programs.

As FTCLDF see it: “This would give the States reason to support the bill despite the fact that it dilutes much of what is left of their Tenth Amendment police power to regulate food.”

“Great for Factory Farming”

“How did they get this far with such a scheme to apply insane industrial standards to every farm in the country?” asks Linn Cohen-Cole. “Through fear of diseases and of outbreaks of food borne illnesses, both of which they [the multi-national food corporations] cause themselves.” Cole-Cohen, self-described “leftist” and Democrat, isn’t alone in linking the food industry to food control bills like HR 875.

HR 875 would be “Devastating for everyday folks but great for factory farming ops like Monsanto, ADM, Sodexo and Tyson to name a few,” writes Lydia Scott at Campaign for Liberty. “I have no doubt that this legislation was heavily influenced by lobbyists from huge food producers. … It will literally put all independent farmers and food producers out of business due to the huge amounts of money it will take to conform to factory farming methods.”

The role of agribusiness in actually writing HR 875 is a valid question. The fact that DeLauro’s husband Stanley Greenberg, a powerful Democratic political strategist and consultant, counts pesticide and biotech giant Monsanto among his many clients has helped fuel a growing bipartisan opposition to the bill itself, as has the revelation that DeLauro received over $186,000 from agribusiness for her recent re-election campaign.

Critics like Cohen-Cole, Scott and DeWeese say HR 875 has little or nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with government and corporate control of the food supply, and ultimately over the population. As former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger famously observed: “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”

Swearing Allegiance to the Green Fringe

By William Warren

Environmentalists, global warming fanatics and Al Gore disciples are rejoicing this week upon hearing the news that Democrats have selected a new chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. In a 136 to 122 vote among House Democrats, California representative Henry Waxman of California narrowly beat out John Dingell of Michigan to take over his 28-year-held post on the ever-influential energy committee.

The following quote from the Christian Science Monitor explains the importance of Mr. Waxman’s new role:

“The vote places Waxman in charge of a panel with one of the broadest jurisdictions of any congressional committee, responsible for legislative oversight relating to consumer protection, food and drug safety, air quality, energy supply and transmission, telecommunications, and a host of other matters relating to interstate and foreign commerce.”

As the former Clinton energy adviser Joseph Romm giddily proclaimed:

“Heck, it’s the second best piece of news on global warming this month!”

Unfortunately for the American people—much more the entirety of American industry—the news of Mr. Waxman’s ascension is anything but reassuring. In fact, it’s equally as foreboding for businesses as Barack Obama’s election has been for the U.S. stock market.

Consider for a moment, Mr. Dingell, the man Mr. Waxman has replaced. As the Wall Street Journal describes:

“He was first elected in 1955 and has always tried to protect his hometown Detroit auto makers from the eco-mandates that ultimately helped to land them in their present predicament…He knows that carbon regulation and taxes will fall most heavily on domestic manufacturing and Midwest states that rely on coal-fired power. His sympathies lie with the people who work near (or in) factories and drive Fords or Chevys.”

The Dingell defenestration aptly symbolizes the Democrats’ freshly sworn allegiance to the radical, anti-business, green fringe of America. This is the same fringe which values “eco” over economy and plants over people—all, of course, under the pseudo-religious banner of “global warming.”

Under Mr. Waxman’s watch, we can expect a high priority to be placed on the kind of eco-regulations and carbon emissions caps that make businesses shudder and industries wane—without the waxing. This is especially troubling considering the significant number of individuals losing their jobs in the face of a struggling economy.
Moreover, Mr. Waxman comes from the most peripheral outlier state when it comes to downright absurd environmentalist legislation: California. These include the mandated “global warming score” sticker of shame to be slapped on every car produced and San Francisco’s blanket ban on fireplaces. Apparently, California would rather humans freeze than the earth to warm.

While we’re at it, why not put the military in the hands of Berkeley or Washington, D.C. in charge of education?

Nevertheless, America’s energy henhouse is now in the hands of the environmentalist fox. Meanwhile, the greens are hatching eggs of jubilee.

It won’t be soon, however, until the egg is on the Democrats’ faces whilst more and more Americans suffer under the rotten economy.

Why we are going to lose in the end

The real danger facing Americans is not radical Islam per se; its danger is only indirect. What Americans today suffer from is a deep dowse of relativism where there is no objective truth and if there is, we have no way of finding it. Each person is therefore left to find his or her truth and one truth is as good as another.

Consequently, there is nothing valuable in America to struggle or fight for, since you do not fight and die for something that could be wrong. You fight for values that are true and solid.

This is where the danger of Islam enters the picture. Islam believes in itself as true – in fact, as the only truth. Muslims are willing to die for this truth. Americans no longer are. Infected by relativism, Americans are unsure of the objective truth of America and its values and therefore are really unwilling to sacrifice and die for it. It is multiculturalism gone wild where everything is challenged. Having lost confidence in the truth of what America stands for, it is already defeated. The stronger culture of Islam will sooner or later replace the weaker American one.

I personally do not know any way back from this dilemma.

The Liberty Tree Lantern certainly agrees and supports the entire perspicuous insightful premise outlined in Mr. Riga’s writing.  We would also add, however, what about our fellow countrymen’s 2^nd enemy of which we find ourselves pray to economically today and in the gun sights of raiding our homes and businesses tomorrow?  Are we Americans so mired in relativism that we have lost the truth as to the meaning, purpose and the individual prosperity producing results of true freedom and The Constitution that protects it? 

Are we are unwilling to fight for freedom, individual property rights, the protection of individual prosperity, and The Constitution against its dire enemy that is the direct and, ultimately, the sole cause of our financial and economic catastrophe through mass behavior modification of the American mind, the beguilement of “The Matrix” like world, we find collapsing all around ourselves in today?  That second enemy and battlefront, that has and is causing the collapse of our freedom and prosperity is the U.S. Government.  Are we so mired in such relativism that we are not willing to fight for whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves?

Did our patriots of the Revolutionary War, who fired the first shot against our government’s “peace” officers at the Concord Bridge at Lexington, heard around the world and all the wars since die in vain?  Are we next going to hear “Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters, the Big Bankers who own The Federal Reserve company who control the U.S. Government.” Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.

Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy “accommodation.” And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer–not an easy answer–but simple.

If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom, or our individual prosperity from the threat of economic collapse or Government oppression and tyranny by committing an immorality so great as saying to 300 million Americans now in slavery, prison of the mind and taxation in “The Matrix”, “Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters.” Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.

Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum. And what then?

When Barack Obama has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the financial crisis, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery in a Socialist world where all that is left is the equal distribution of misery and no hope of The American Dream. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase “peace through strength.” Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits–not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

You and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.

Have we been so programmed by “The Matrix” and its relativism that we are unwilling to fight and die for Freedom? 

What will you do without freedom?  To live without freedom is to live without any measure of individual prosperity, dismal health and no life worth the aggravation. Accommodate and appease and you’ll live, at least for awhile. But lying in your beds, many years from now, when you see your children slaving away while the vast majority of their paychecks go to “the masses” with barely enough for food and shelter left, for them and their little children, after “withholding” from their earnings to survive on, would you be will’n to give all the days from this day to that, to come back here and tell are enemies, they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!

If you think that Big Government isn’t going to tax you and your children and your children’s children, in the near future for all the Trillions of “taxpayer” dollars they are giving to their Big Banker friends of The Federal Reserve company, or Big Business like AIG and The Automakers, you are nothing more than a complete imbecile.  Whose side do you think the Federal Government is on, the Banks and Big Corporations or yours?  All you have to do is ask who the tax money is coming from and to whom it is going.

And those Trillions of your money that Big Government is taking away from you and your family for the bailouts is nothing but chump change compared to NINTY TRILLION DOLLARS of UNFUNDED liabilities, over the infinite horizon as reported by The Washington Times and The Comptroller General of The United States, David Walker, who quit the position so that he could warn the American public of the plans of the U.S. Government to take your paycheck away from you to pay for these “entitlement” obligations.  Where the heck do you think that money is going to come from people?  The only question is, what are you going to do about it?

Relativism isn’t going to put anything but gruel on the table from the Socialist soup lines and your family either sitting out on the curb or in some massive “public” apartment complex that would give you the same feel to it as the huge edifice that holds millions of human beings in vats of slime in “The Matrix”, where they suck out taxes, through the IRS (Agents) umbilical cords and feed our minds with programming and propaganda.  Resistance will be futile then, when it’s too late, because they will send IRS “Agents” with dark sunglasses and guns to get you.  And nobody beats an Agent.  If you see one, do what we do, RUN!

As we have been telling you readers for a very long time, buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye, bye.  If you can’t see that now, after this economic and financial collapse that this blog has been warning you about since its inception, you might as well start walking to your nearest “Matrix” vat and jump in.  You’re a Government / Federal Reserve company taxation slave, your brain is hopelessly lost in its own prison, and you are history and destined for perpetual poverty and misery; unless enough of us brave and “free” pick up your sorry victimhood, give-me – give-me “free stuff” from Government, “what can we do about it anyway” whining butts and pull them out of the vats so that you can enjoy the individual prosperity and freedom that we, the free and the brave, fight for.

Mark my words, people; everything is going to change, in the near future, in ways that you are going to say you never would have believed.  We here at The Liberty Tree Lantern have been writing about this for years now, if not on this blog in forums and sites all around the Internet.  The Matrix is collapsing and the Agents are coming.  Socialism and/or Communism is coming to greet us at our doors at the end of a gun.  And some are foolish enough to think that is what they want.

If you want to stop the U.S. Government, the owners of The Federal Reserve and “The Matrix” itself from keeping you in the equal distribution of poverty and misery through Socialism, Communism, taxation, oppression, tyranny and despotism, you have to read and understand The Constitution.  And you must FIGHT for it, to the very word, word for word, to its very meaning, spirit and intent as it was meant on the day it was drafted, Amendments included. NO Changes.  Everything in The Constitution is in there to protect us from the Federal Government and the Bankers that control them, causing the economic and financial crisis we have today, for only freedom can generate the prosperity that we “thought” we had and would have had if The Federal Government, particularly both houses of Congress, would have obeyed the law, the entire law.

SWAT TEAM CONDUCTS FOOD RAIDS IN RURAL OHIO

By Andy and Berit Kjos

December 21, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

Note: The report below was not written by me (Berit), but I did add these 3 quotes:

“Over the past 20 years Congress has encouraged the U.S. military to supply intelligence, equipment, and training to civilian police. That encouragement has spawned a culture of paramilitarism in American law enforcement. The 1980s and 1990s have seen marked changes in the number of state and local paramilitary units, in their mission and deployment, and in their tactical armament.” –Cato Institute (more information below)

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” –Barack Obama, “Obama’s Civilian National Security Force“

“At the World Food Programme we have recognized what a valuable tool food aid can be in changing behaviour. In so many poorer countries food is money, food is power…..” –Catherine Bertini, Executive Director of the World Food Program, “The UN Plan for Food and Land“

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to 8 PM. The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were quite traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was relieved by another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend the family. The Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food cooperative called Manna Storehouse on the western side of the greater Cleveland area for many years.

There were agents from the Department of Agriculture present, one of them identified as Bill Lesho. The search warrant is reportedly suspicious-looking. Agents began rifling through all of the family’s possessions, a task that lasted hours and resulted in a complete upheaval of every private area in the home. Many items were taken that were not listed on the search warrant. The family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not told what crime they were being charged with. They were not read their rights. Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. All of their computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone and contact records. The food cooperative was virtually shut down. There was no rational explanation, nor justification, for this extreme violation of Constitutional rights.

Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be charged with running a retail establishment without a license. Why then the Gestapo-type interrogation for a 3rd degree misdemeanor charge? This incident has raised the ominous specter of a restrictive new era in State regulation and enforcement over the nation’s private food supply.

This same type of abusive search and seizure was reported by those innocents who fell victim to oppressive federal drug laws passed in the 1990s. The present circumstance raises the obvious question: is there some rabid new interpretation of an existing drug law that considers food a controlled substance worthy of a nasty SWAT operation? Or worse, is there a previously unrecognized provision(s) pertaining to food in the Homeland Security measures? Some have suggested that it was merely an out-of-control, hot-to-trot ODA agent, and, if so, this would be a best-case scenario. Anything else might spell the beginning of the end for the freedom to eat unregulated and unmonitored food.

One blogger familiar with the Ohio situation has reported that:

“Interestingly, I believe they [Manna Storehouse said a month or so ago, an undercover ODA official came to their little store and claimed to have a sick father wanting to join the co-op. Both the owner and her daughter-in-law had a horrible feeling about the man, and decided not to allow him into the co-op and notified him by certified mail. He came back to the co-op demanding to be part of it. They refused and gave him names of other businesses and health food stores closer to his home. Not coincidentally, this man was there yesterday as part of the raid.”

The same blog also noted that the Ohio Department of Agriculture has been chastised by the courts in several previous instances for its aggression, including trying to entrap an Amish man in a raw milk “sale,” which backfired when it became known that the Amish believe in a literal interpretation of “give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” (Matthew 5:42)

The issue appears to be the discovery of a bit of non-institutional beef in an Oberlin College food service freezer a year ago that was tracked down by a county sanitation official to Manna Storehouse. Oberlin College’s student food coop is widely known for its strident ideological stance about eating organic foods. It seems that the Oberlin student food cooperative had joined the Manna Storehouse food cooperative in order to buy organic foods in bulk from the national organic food distributor United, which services buying clubs across the nation. The sanitation official, James Boddy, evidently contacted the Ohio Department of Agriculture. After the first contact by state ODA officials, Manna Storehouse reportedly wrote them a letter requesting assistance and guidelines for complying with the law. This letter was never answered. Rather, the ODA agent tried several times to infiltrate the coop, as described above. When his attempts failed, the SWAT team showed up!

Food cooperatives and buying clubs have been an active part of the American landscape for over a generation. In the 1970s, with the rise of the organic food industry (a direct outgrowth of the hippie back-to-nature movement) food coops started up all over the country. These were groups of people who freely associated for the purpose of combining their buying power so that they could order organic food items in bulk and case lots. Anyone who was part of these coops in the early era will remember the messy breakdown of 35 pounds of peanut butter and 5 gallon drums of honey!

These buying clubs have persisted and flourished over the years due to their ability to purchase high quality organic foods at reduced prices in bulk quantities. Most cooperatives have participated greatly in the local agrarian economies, supporting neighborhood organic farmers with purchases of produce, eggs, chickens, etc. The groups also purchase food from a number of different local, regional and national distributors, many of them family-based businesses who truck the food themselves. Some of these food cooperatives have become large enough to set up mini-storefront operations where members can drop in and purchase items leftover from case lot sales. Manna Storehouse had established itself in such a manner, using a small enclosed breezeway attached to their home. It was a folksy place with old wooden floors where coop members stopped by to chat and snack on bags of organic corn chips.

The state of Ohio boasts the second largest Amish population in the country. Many of the Amish live on acreages where they raise their own food, not unlike Manna Storehouse, and sell off the extras to neighbors and church members. There is a sense of foreboding that this state crackdown on a longstanding, reputable food cooperative operation could adversely impact the peaceful agrarian way of life not only for the Amish, but homeschoolers and those families living off the land on rural acreages. It raises the disturbing possibility that it could become a crime to raise your own food, buy eggs from the farmer down the road, or butcher your own chickens for family and friends – bustling activities that routinely take place in backwater America.

The freedom to purchase food directly from the source is increasingly under attack. For those who have food allergies and chemical intolerances, or who are on special medical diets, this is becoming a serious health issue. Will Americans retain the right to purchase food that is uncontaminated by pesticides, herbicides, allergens, additives, dyes, preservatives, MSG, GMOs, radiation, etc.? The melamine scare from China underscores the increasingly inferior and suspect quality of modern processed institutional foods. One blog, commenting on the bizarre and troubling Manna Storehouse situation, observed that:

“No one is saying exactly why. At the same time the FDA says it is safe to eat the 40% of tainted beef found in Costco's and Sam's all over the nation. These farm raids are very common now. Every farmer needs to be fully equipped [sic] for the possibility of it happening to them. The Farmer To Consumer Legal Defense Fund was created just for this purpose. The USDA just released their plans to put a law into action that will put all small farmers out of business. Animals for the sale of meat or milk will only be allowed in commercial farms, even the organic ones.” December 3, 2008 7:09 PM

Berit’s notes:

“The police paramilitary units also conduct training exercises with active duty Army Rangers and Navy SEALs. State and local police departments are increasingly accepting the military as a model for their behavior and outlook…. The problem is that the mindset of the soldier is simply not appropriate for the civilian police officer. Police officers confront not an ‘enemy’ but individuals who are protected by the Bill of Rights. Confusing the police function with the military function can lead to dangerous and unintended consequences….” (Diane Cecilia Weber, Cato Institute, “Warrior Cops: The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism in Police Departments“)

Since globalist leaders plan to control food and supplements, water, physical and mental health, energy, and “human settlements” – and as the unthinkable global standards and surveillance system are being implemented — they will obviously need paramilitary forces to control the unhappy masses.

The Stowers family has been financially devastated by this atrocity. They have not broken any law — no charges have been filed — yet they have lost all of their own personal food for the coming year. If you would like to help the family, the contact information is posted on their website.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? …

Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident.” Psalm 27:1-2

I was, for years, for a flat tax.  I felt that income taxes, as devised, were detrimental to our economy and each individual American.

Last year, minding my own business so-to-speak, I was doing research for tax preparation.  An article caught my eye which has led me on an investigation for over 1 ½ years now.  I have been trying to prove that The Constitution does not require that taxes are to be apportioned and that the Supreme Court did not find that the Constitution was not changed by the Sixteenth Amendment.  I have been just about pulling out my hair, because everywhere I turn, despite all manner of spin, twists and turns by the U.S. Government and many “Liberal” / Socialist types my findings have been and still are that the Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, remains unchanged with regards to the apportionment clause.

I am utterly convinced that Thomas Jefferson won; that the Federal Government is to have only “enumerated powers” and that it is supposed to be an agent of the free and “INDEPENDENT” States and be a very small office relative to it’s current “ILLEGAL” size and scope.  Further I have found multitudes of reasons WRITTEN by the founding fathers as to why this is so and how the “apportionment” clause was to see to it that the U.S. Government never would be able to develop the financial assets required to gain power over the States or any involvement over the daily lives of Americans who live in the States.  That each State was to have its own army and “militias”  to further ensure against a Federal Government take over of the lives and daily freedoms of individual Americans or the individual free States.

I have further found out that in every court case that I have personally read the transcripts, where so-called, tax protesters have lost, the judge SPECIFICALLY stated that he would not allow the law to be used in the court and that he would “direct” the jury as to what the law was.   Additionally I have found it extraordinary how many cases have been won by “so-called” tax protesters that go un-reported by any major media source.  In one case there were 161 counts of various tax evasion counts against a business and several individuals.  The IRS lost each and every count ZERO out of 161 counts.  That has happened as recently as with in the year.  Several individuals have also won where the jury “demanded” to see the law for themselves.  Neither the judge nor the IRS could produce any law that called for taxes on the average American citizen.  This is because there is no law, including the Sixteenth Amendment, that has reversed the apportionment clause according to The Supreme Court.

I personally believe that we can not afford to pick and choose which laws that the Federal Government has to obey, of The Constitution, and which ones the scofflaws can thwart.  I know for a fact, from all my research that our founding fathers wrote each and every law in The Constitution for a very specific well thought out reason, because I have read and still read almost every day about these matters.  I believe that our country is about to undergo nightmarishly hard times because We The People have not taken care of our responsibility to police the Federal Government and many of the State Governments for that matter.  Social Security and Medicare ALONE, for example, will be $90,000,000,000,000.00 (NINTY TRILLION DOLLARS) in debt, over the infinite horizon, by the time the new President and Congress takes over in January.  There is only one place to find that much money; and that is from the payroll withholding taxes of the hundreds of millions of working men and women of this country.  David Walker, the past Comptroller General of The United States of America for almost Ten years figures that we are talking about withholding payroll taxes of 70 – 80 percent of every paycheck unless something is done and done soon.

There is no choice but to engage the full scope of THE LAW on the Federal Government.  So in my opinion, sir, taxes must be apportioned.  Obviously that is not politically possible, which is exactly the intent as written by the founding fathers, which means that the Federal Government has to collapse down to handling only the ENUMERATED powers and responsibilities allowed by the law that We The People did ordain and establish on the Federal Government.  It is that or pure Socialism under a one world Government headed up by the largest private company on Earth that collects every penny of our Income Taxes in the form of interest – The Federal Reserve, who also created and “leads” the Trilateral Commission www.trilateral.org .  The IRS does not work for the U.S. Government as, according to the publically available Grace Commission Report to President Reagan in 1983, every penny collected goes directly to this private closely held by forty mega-powerful stock holders and which not a penny goes into the U.S. Treasury for even a New York minute.  Congress has to beg The Federal Reserve for each and every penny they spend in the form of a loan, of which we pay even more interest on top of the interest.

If that weren’t bad enough, the real icing on the cake is that the dollar is only backed by about 4 cents of various bullion reserves and assets.  That means that eventually, at least in a realistic world, a $1,000.00 mortgage should really be $25,000.00, but in reality we have never received pay for our hard work and we, nor anyone has ever paid for anything.  In effect and in a true reality we live in a form of “The Matrix” just like the movie because nothing exists in the way we perceive in our minds, as programmed by The Federal Reserve System, in that nothing that we can see, touch, smell or taste has been paid for by anybody.  So in a realistic sense we only perceive in our minds that we or anybody else owns anything.  Another reason for this is printed on all Dollar bills.  Printed on them is the following: “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE”.  Do you know what a NOTE is?  It is nothing more than the “promise” to pay with “real” money sometime in the future.  In this case, it is a future that will never arrive.  Therefore, in a very realistic sense, nothing exists as we perceive it with our senses, in terms of ownership or having been secured by way of purchase.  The cost to run this “Matrix” is too much even for the forty owners of The Federal Reserve System which is as “Federal” as Federal Express.  And they, being a “private” company have the right to say no to any loan request by Congress.  So Congress has to “keep the bank happy”.  And, the bank likes to “advise” the top Government officials and keep them informed of the “best course of action and legislation” behind closed doors.  If The Constitution were to be obeyed by the Federal Government none of this stuff would have happened to us.  The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Taxes, any taxes, if you knew the reality of our present situation you wouldn’t talk so foolish as to require any such illegality.  According to the law there isn’t supposed to be any taxes unless they are apportioned (PERIOD!).  There will come a time where people will have to decide between the Constitution and Socialism, or more precisely freedom or the chains and bondage of the Socialist Welfare Police State.  It has come to that.  Unfortunately the Government did not see fit to educate our population, meaning you and me, in school so that we understood our great American heritage, freedom, liberty and the wealth that generates forth from it.  Instead our Government deemed it more important for us to learn liberal arts and so that is our children’s curriculum.  So here we sit with freedom (which means FREEDOM from Government) slipping from our grasp, day by day, by day, as The Federal Reserve System programs our minds to believe what isn’t while they steal our money, our property and our rights just as surely as The Matrix in the movie sucked out power out of the cerebral cortexes of millions upon millions of humans housed in multi-levels of vats and replace that energy with programming to make us think things that just don’t exist in the real world because the Dollar, as we think of it, does not exist; as proven by the fact that they are “NOTES” and the fact that they are only supported by about 4 cents per dollar.  This is the reason the dollar has been collapsing over the last year and why it will continue to collapse over time.  – - Unless The Federal Reserve is successful in creating and passing the North American Union, where they can add hundreds of millions of Canadian and Mexican taxpayers to the socialist slavery vats of the Matrix to pay for the cost of running and programming The Matrix.  With out the NAU The Matrix will not be able to even handle the weight and pressure of trying to control every single American and The Federal Government and this is the very reason why “The Matrix” is oscillating right now as I write this e-mail to you.  It is on the verge of collapse because it is under such stress trying to control our entire country and every living soul there in.  That is the factual and true reason for the collapse of Bear Stearns, multiple banks and perhaps Freddy Mac and Freddy May.  If they do not pass the NAU soon The Matrix and The Federal Reserve System will collapse.  This, in the longgggg run will provide once again our individual freedom and eventually the return of individual prosperity.  The worst thing that could happen would be if The Federal Reserve succeeds in their attempt to force the NAU down our “collective” throats; because that will be the end of our unique American culture, our freedom and the American dream.

Forget taxes, go for enforcement of the Constitution to the very meaning, spirit and intent as meant on the day of its drafting.  For without that we and our posterity will suffer a fate far too horrible to comprehend.  To ignore these facts is to welcome and exacerbate the imminent result.

Yes I will put your request in my blog, because it is a miniscule step in the right direction, but you need to realize the full scope of this vast problem and you need to realize that we are going to have to fight, hopefully peacefully, for our freedom by way of The Constitution which is the only thing standing in the way of the megalomaniacal Socialist / Communist members and “One World Government” of The Federal Reserve and the Trilateral Commission of which they are the leaders.

The Matrix is a system, Mr. Culling. The Federal Reserve System.  That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.  The Matrix, the belief that the Dollar has paid for everything in your existence including your wages and/or salary, is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.  The Federal Reserve is in control of every single thing. What could a private company that collects every single nickel of our income taxes do with those assets created by the hard work of the American people and small businesses?  That is the reason why income taxes, unless apportioned, are illegal as written by our founding fathers.  They foresaw all of this.

Mr. Cullen, I am trying to free your mind, but you are the one that has to walk through the door.  Have you ever had a dream, Mr. Cullen, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?  Welcome to the real world.  We all, every one of us, owns nothing.  And nothing, in our lifetimes, has been paid for, with the minor exception of those who used “Silver Certificates” which were backed by real Silver Bullion in an attempt by the courageous President John F. Kennedy to rid our country of its Federal Reserve Masters.  And you know what happened to him, only five months after signing the Executive order for Congress to obey The Constitution and mint and coin money in the form of Silver Certificates which would have eventually spelled the end of The Federal Reserve System, “The Matrix”, BIG Government, and the Social Security and Medicare problem because it would have been “stepped down” in an orderly fashion at the best time possible, resulting in posterity, us, being able to avoid the imminent combination Civil / RE-Revolutionary War to restore The Constitution to full force and effect as intended in spirit and affect as it was on the day of its drafting by a committee of our Founding Fathers, God bless them.  For it will become, thank God, a choice between true freedom from the Federal Government for all, or 70 – 80% payroll withholding taxes and massive energy cost due to The Federal Reserve controlling Congress to prevent us from drilling and harvesting our own vast volumes of energy resources so that we will become so financially and spiritually weakened they “think” we will succumb to the Final Demand.  And what then?

  If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of Socialism by committing an immorality so great as saying to Three Hundred Million now in slavery in “The Matrix” program of The Federal Reserve System, “Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters.” Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.

Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum. And what then? When Barack Obama has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of high energy costs and taxation that he and his cohorts such as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Steve Kagen, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Herbert Kohl and the majority of the Democrats have chained us with, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of “peace through individual strength.” Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces, like the privately held Federal Reserve Corporation, are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits–not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

We will keep in mind and remember that divine providence and faith in the creator who has bestowed us with certain unalienable rights stands with us in defiance of those who would rob us of what we have been bequeathed.

Is this the type of representation that we want here in Wisconsin?  The silence over the phone from Feingold’s office is deafening folks.  Now you know their position with regards to the price of gas, diesel, electricity, fuel, and even food.  They want it up high.  And, if that wasn’t bad enough, they don’t even feel the responsibility to listen to what I have to say with regards to how important it is to lower our gasoline and utility bill costs.

Senator Russ Feingold just does not care about us.  I wonder what he and/or his staff would have done if somebody new, conservative and CONSTITUTIONAL was running against him this election period?

Well done Countrymen!  We have won the “FIRST” of many battles we have before us against the U.S. Congress.  Take a break, grab some champaign, have a party!  But be prepared for the next battle in our War against Congress in the imparative need to lower our cost of living and have a better life, not only for us but for our posterity.  In the meantime I raise a toast to all of you who fought so hard, made calls, sent e-mails and letters to your so-called Representatives.

I would suggest that many of you fire your representatives.  We still need to watch these Socialistic tyrannts.  Watch them closely over the next year and most importantly keep up your demands for them to clear the way for the leases to be provided so that we have the freedom we need for our oil companies to drill.  We MUST also fight to open ANWR to drilling.  THESE THINGS ARE VITAL!  So don’t stop now.  Also you must insist that States get apart of the royalty.  This is also vital.  If we can be successful in this, the price of oil and gas will drop like a rock!

And now the News of your successful campaign “for now”:

Off-shore oil-ban lifted, for now maybe

So the Congressional incumbent Steve Kagen from Green Bay, Wisconsin, from the 8^th district has voted to raise our price of Gasoline, heat, light, electricity and food even higher.  And, what’s worse he did it by passing legislation designed to make a fool out of us, in a way that he can at the same time say that he opened up millions of square miles of offshore areas for oil exploration and drilling.  How stupid does Mr. Kagen think we are?  Mr. Kagen is not only an enemy to our pocketbooks and our way of life, he is a pure insult to our intelligence!

 I don’t know about you but this ol’Capt is mad as hell at this insult and the financial harm that Mr. Kagen is trying to deal us.  I am not going to take it anymore and I hope you will not either.

Here are all the Aye votes who are against you financially and the Nay votes that are trying to help you financially by lowering the price of energy and everything you need to live, by allowing us the freedom (from Government) to supply our energy from our own domestic resources:
