It really does all tie together.
Some of you ask, "How does this fit into the "Plan"?"
Some wonder if there is a plan.
Some worry about the RKBA, others about education. Many are concerned about fiscal policy the destruction of the middle class and populist sentiment morphing into outrught class warfare.Some worry about multiculturalism being force-fed down our throats. Others are concerned about socialized medicine or rampant Imperialism and Democracy-building.
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!
This essay puts the pieces together better than any I've ever read.........

A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
J Matschke 12-Feb-09
The following views of our current political climate are virtually never represented in the
mainstream media and partially represented in a few radio talk shows. A few are wholly
my own. However, I believe the following conclusions are held by a very significant
portion of a largely unrepresented demographic of our citizenry. The paper is long, but
may alert some less informed citizens of the perils we are facing. Please forward this to
anyone you know of that could benefit from hearing this perspective. This may include
your legislators.
It has become clear that the only plausible explanations for the actions of the political
body of the United States include objectives which are contrary to both the laws of our
Constitution and the will of the people. These objectives include the elimination of the
Bill of Rights and the subjection of the American people to a central governing body with
absolute control over the citizenry. The ultimate goals of both political parties include
the establishment of a permanent ruling class and the elimination of the middle and
upper-middle classes, as is typical of Marxist regimes. The need to eliminate the barriers
of the American middle class and the Constitution may be driven by personal greed and
quest for power, the ideological belief that a central governing body is necessary in
today’s global economy, or a related desire to establish a central, global governing power.
The rapid erosion of the rights of the middle class through legislation and the economic
juggernaut being applied by our legislators indicate that a very narrow time frame
remains in which there is any opportunity for substantial resistance to this change in our
form of government. The American people must respond effectively, quickly, and need
to employ methods outside of the traditional means used in recent decades.
The political leaders of our day, from both major political parties, no longer serve the
interests of the nation or the will of the people. Our elected officials believe they are
serving their own interests by complying with the wishes of a small handful of corporate
leaders who themselves have extraordinary economic and political resources. These
same cloaked powers control most major American media outlets, many domestic
industries, and key positions in every agency of the federal government. Almost without
exception, our political leaders are fully aware of the illegal and immoral nature of their
objectives and willingly compromise the rule of law and rights of the people without
remorse. These officials are traitors who have turned their backs on the American
people.
The power block constituted by a few global corporate leaders, our elected officials, and
the mainstream media (controlled by the same corporate leaders) is systematically forcing
all but the wealthiest segment of our citizenry into some form of dependency on both
federal and state governments. This dependence can take the form of medical care, food
subsidies, housing, and employment, and can be utilized to control the behavior of each
citizen as deemed necessary by a new, and largely self-appointed ruling class. Through
2
deliberately flawed legislation and over-taxation, the rulers of our day are leaving the
American people no choice but to eventually turn to dependency on the very government
that destroyed our individual prosperity and independent liberty.
The erosion of the individual rights of the American people, most importantly the right to
keep and bear arms, will allow totalitarian control of the citizenry. To achieve this
without a violent public response, our elected officials are utilizing methods outlined by
Aristotle and applying them in a methodical, systematic fashion. These powers are
making every effort to divide the citizenry over social issues, display awesome military
and counterintelligence capabilities to instill fear in the citizenry, and diminish the
significance and relativity of religious beliefs and cultural traditions to break the spirit of
the citizenry.
Hate crime and equal opportunity legislation, our nationalized and politicized educational
system, the forced redistribution of wealth, in conjunction with a compliant media, are
being used to fractionalize the general population. By augmenting differences and
forcing inflexible legislation to establish bias, animosity between men and women in the
workplace, blacks, whites, and Hispanics, different segments of the Christian faith and
between differing religions, contempt between rich and poor, friction between political
affiliations (Republicans and Democrats), and other juxtaposed segments of our society,
the government and the mainstream media divert the resources and attention of the
populace from one of the fundamental causes of these divisions; the government itself.
The two political parties routinely reverse roles, each time implying that better legislation
could have been had if only they had had more support or more representatives in the
chamber. They are, in fact, working in tandem to achieve the same vicious goals.
The federal government consistently promotes every opportunity to demonstrate its
awesome military powers. Information is readily released to the media on new weapons
that cannot be matched in the private sector. In “reality” police shows, police use
overwhelming force to apprehend suspects regardless of the level of resistance shown.
Reports are released of uncanny surveillance and information gathering capabilities,
including the ability to monitor every major form of communication throughout the
domestic population without detection. The burning of the Branch Dravidian compound
and the recent raids on the Mormon compound demonstrate the overwhelming force that
the government is willing to use to establish control. A complex and financially
prohibitive legal system assures that any dissent from the government will have
disastrous effects on the private citizen. A loosely controlled, corrupt and violent prison
system further instills fear in the general populace.
The diminishing of the role of religion in our society is being implemented through the
constant preaching of tolerance in our schools and by our public officials. This tolerance
includes the requirement that the general population no longer revere the Judeo-Christian
beliefs that were predominant in our nation for its first two hundred years, including the
theological emphasis on the nuclear family and self-reliance. The removal of religious
artifacts and phrases from public buildings, schools and public ceremonies, and the
forced acceptance of “alternative” lifestyles, other “religions” (or cults, such as the Wicca
3
cult), foreign cultural practices that interfere with work or public procedures, and
language that is contrary to Christian and Jewish beliefs, all propagate this diminishing
effect. For the Christian, even expounding these beliefs with regard to some fringe
elements of our society, such as the homosexuals, is contrary to the rule of law. Mature
Christians are wise enough to understand that each man’s path is different, and that
persecution is a grave injustice.
Consider the recent actions of the federal and state governments. They have refused to
close our borders to the influx of 20 to 30 million illegal aliens, in spite of the widely
accept statistic that more than 80% of the domestic population wants immigration
restricted to the existing legal methods and current immigrant employment laws enforced.
Only small, token efforts to enforce the laws have been provided as needed to assure the
complacency of the general population. States with the highest numbers of illegal aliens
are going bankrupt because of the costs of providing education, food, housing and
medical care for these criminals. Ultimately, the costs must be passed on to the general
population by the government, just as the housing and lending entitlement laws have
created the collapse of the housing market, which is now being subsidized directly with
tax dollars. The gangs and crime associated with the illegal aliens has become a national
crisis, and illegal aliens represent more than 30 percent of our prison population (another
unwarranted expense). Approximately 60 percent of the illegal alien population is not
employed and lives solely on government subsidies. The image portrayed by the media
is that illegal immigration keeps the cost of food down. Only two percent of illegal
immigrants work in agriculture. Though the domestic unemployment rates are at record
levels, and in spite of millions of emails, letters and faxes from their constituents,
regardless of very real terrorists threats from Muslim extremists, our legislators refuse to
control our borders or enforce immigrant employment laws. By allowing the problem to
continue the social fabric of the populace is further fragmented while the economic
independence of the middle class is further eroded. In addition, the general population is
being saturated with individuals who do not understand the principles of our Constitution,
are largely unskilled or semi-skilled and without higher education, and are eager to
subjugate themselves to a central government in return for basic necessities. Further
divisions of the populace occur as legal (and welcomed) immigrants are erroneously
grouped with those who have ignored our laws. Work visas, including the 1.2 million
work visas for foreign engineers currently approved by our legislators, have many of the
same effects.
The federal government created a housing bubble by forcing the banking industry to
make home loans to people who could not afford them (based on the demographics of
race and income in the area serviced by the lending institutions), through tax incentives
that further encourage over-spending (interest deductions), and by artificially inflating the
market with economic controls (the Federal Reserve). The federal government is now
using forcibly obtained tax dollars from working Americans to buy the mortgages for
these homes. Since the mortgages have been bundled in securities with other less risky
mortgages, the government is essentially taking title to the property of the middle class en
mass, including the mortgages of those who are still able to pay their bills in spite of the
burden of over-taxation.
4
Our legislators have refused to re-write our tax codes, which have become so complex
that an entire industry has been developed around deciphering them. Though seventy
percent of manufacturing operations nation wide have been moved off shore or to Central
and South America in the last 20 years, our legislators still maintain that our corporate tax
rate, the highest in the industrialized world, is justified. At 39 percent, the taxes on a
manufacturing entity in the United States are significantly higher than the flat tax of 33
percent for manufacturing firms in communist China. When added to the costs of tax
code compliance, regulation (such as OSHA and the EPA), and liability expenses,
manufacturing industry leaders estimate that the differential in manufacturing costs
increases to 18 percent. This does not include the cost of labor in the US. Still, because
of the higher productivity of the American worker, these same leaders believe that a
small decrease in corporate taxes of eight to ten percent would make domestic
manufacturing more appealing than most foreign markets. Part of this cost reduction
could be achieved with a simplified tax code.
Legislators have increased the stringency of bankruptcy laws for the individual, allowing
the courts to use disposable income formulas developed by the Internal Revenue Service
to confiscate all disposable income from the bankrupt individual for years to come; a
form of economic slavery. At the same time, legislators loosened the rules of lending for
the credit card companies, allowing them to change interest rates without justification
after loaning money at a much lower rate, increase interest rates well above the previous
draconian limit of 25%, impose crushing penalties, and even modify payment dates to fall
on holidays.
The United States government spends more on every student in our public schools than
any other industrialized nation while the quality of the education provided is lower than
every other industrialized nation and some third-world nations. Yet our legislators refuse
to usurp the stronghold of the teachers union (a union in a government-controlled entity is
a travesty in itself) and prohibit privatization of the system through such means as school
vouchers or tax incentives. Instead, the tax laws provide a mortgage interest deduction
for the family that buys a home they can’t afford while giving no allowance whatsoever
for the expense of a private lower education. In reality, education, not the home building
industry, will do the most for the long-term prosperity of the nation.
Our legislators and the executive branch have exempted themselves from many of the
laws they force upon the citizenry, including paying into our mandatory social security
fund. Congress refuses to comply with the will of the people when it comes to any
corrective action; such as term limits. On a local level, cities that maintain a mandatory
one-year jail sentence for possession of a handgun make exception for the mayor, his
staff, and city alderman, who are deputized specifically to allow them to carry a firearm.
Even the capitol building itself has been exempted from handicapped accessibility laws,
which leave extra empty handicapped parking spaces in front of every business in
America.
5
Appointed (not elected) regulators, under pressure from the President and Congress, have
refused to reign in energy futures trading, which has caused wild variation in energy costs
since they deregulated the industry a few years ago by allowing the purchase of US oil
futures by foreign entities, increasing the maximum number of futures available, and
allowing their trade in foreign markets. Similar deregulation has occurred with mortgage
instruments. With each fluctuation of oil prices or mortgage interest rates billions of
dollars in profits are being taken out of our economy by foreign investors and a few
extraordinarily wealthy domestic businessmen (who also control Congress and the
Federal Reserve). George Soros took $2 billion dollars out of the mortgage futures
market in 2006. His media and corporate network are large enough to impact public
policy and Wall Street. He can literally make his speculations happen after he places his
bets. Because of his network of firms around the globe, he paid almost nothing in taxes
on this income. He also contributed millions of dollars to hundreds of political
campaigns and provided immeasurable assistance to these same politicians with his
media empire.
NAFTA and similar trade agreements have crippled the citrus industry in the US and
have had a lasting negative effect on many other industrial sectors. While it was common
knowledge throughout the 1900’s that any American who drank water or ate fresh
vegetables while in Mexico would get sick, now the majority of our fruits and vegetables
are coming from Mexico. The public is suffering from a huge array of intestinal and
respiratory ailments on a nation-wide basis, yet the government is focusing on a single
domestic peanut manufacturer for causing a limited portion of just one of these maladies.
The object of this display of concern is the justification of more government jobs and
greater government control of domestic industry. Diseases such as small pox and
tuberculosis were all but eliminated in the US only ten years ago, but swarms of
impoverished illegal aliens and contaminated food sources have caused a major
resurgence of these and other low-level diseases. Our food processing plants are
crawling with government inspectors that have free reign of the facility, while there is
only one inspector for every 100 facilities in China that is manufacturing food for export
to the US. Simultaneously, product labeling laws have been changed to make it harder to
determine where a product is from.
In recent months, the federal government has begun to nationalize key industries,
including the insurance industry, banking industry and the securities industry. Even more
troublesome is the intent to “invest” in small business operations across the nation (under
the guise of buying bad loans). No independent private business will survive in an
industry that is owned in part by the federal government. Once the government owns a
significant portion of any industry, fair competition cannot exist. The opportunities for
corruption here are almost endless. All of this is being done with tax dollars that will be
forcibly confiscated from working Americans. Because the money is not actually in the
treasury and is instead being printed, it is highly likely that the citizenry will experience
runaway inflation as investors in the dollar loose confidence or refuse to loan the US
more money. At the same time the middle class will experience radical tax increases and
loss of services to repay this debt.
6
In 2008, our elected officials removed $340 billion dollars from the treasury without
defining what the funds will be used for (which is against our own constitutional law, and
was done without a constitutional amendment or super-majority). The federal
government claims to have put the money under the control of the Federal Reserve, and
to date refuses to disclose to the public specifically where or how the funds were
allocated. This, quite simply, is theft.
The American people have witnessed executive orders from the White House and acts of
Congress that contain vague language and compromise our right to privacy, our right to a
jury by our peers, and our right to legal counsel (ironically called the “patriot act”). Any
dissident citizen can be labeled a domestic terrorist, as defined solely by the federal
government, and thus loose all rights to due course of law.
During the twelve years it took to completely ban all privately owned firearms in Great
Britain violent crime increased 300%. In Australia, where all guns were banned more
recently, violent crime has risen 400% in just a few years. Miami has changed from one
of the most violent cities in the nation to one of the safest since right-to-carry laws were
enacted four years ago. Every repressive regime in modern history has banned firearm
ownership before eliminating the most basic rights of the populace. The current efforts
of our lawmakers to eliminate private firearm ownership demonstrates their blatant
disregard for the well being of the people and their desire to force the citizenry into
complete submission to their every whim. Once all firearms have been removed from the
populace or made inaccessible to the vast majority of the population, all of the other
individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution will be rapidly eliminated. The
efforts of state, federal and local officials to completely remove the right of the people to
bear arms are contrary to the will of more than 80 percent of the population. By parsing
the process into small increments rational can be provided by the government and media
to sway a slightly larger segment of the civilian population into agreement with the
government. The ultimate objective of the government remains unchanged; complete
submission of the general population.
The refusal of our elected officials to comply with their own laws, close our borders,
support moral and ethical lending practices, reduce the costs of manufacturing by
reducing corporate taxes and renegotiating trade agreements, simplify the tax code,
reduce the number of work visas during record unemployment, or even to comply with
our own constitutional law, is clear evidence of their treason. The erosion of our rights,
and continued attempts to confiscate our arms, even to silence dissenting opinions
(“fairness in broadcasting” legislation) further clarify the immoral and treacherous
intentions of the government. No other explanation can justify their actions; we are
witnessing an orchestrated attempt to dissolve the Bill of Rights, reduce the middle class
to a property of the state, and establish a permanent ruling class.
During the last major congressional debate of 2008 on immigration reform, the White
House and Congress deliberately shut down communications with the general population.
Phone systems and web sites were reduced to ten percent operating capacity or
completely disabled. Congressional leaders claimed that this was done because specific
7
radio talk show hosts were causing their listeners to saturate congressional
communication lines. The shutting off of the voice of the people by the government
during this crucial debate is a clear example of a complete disregard for the will of the
people and disdain for the rights of the middle class by our legislators. Tens of millions
of faxes, emails, letters and phone calls have had little or no effect on the ultimate
objectives of the government. Instead, this information is being used to gauge the anger
level of the populace, pace the removal of our individual freedoms, locate concentrations
of dissenting opinion, target specific dissidents, and prevent or prepare for a violent
insurgence. Clearly, the traditional methods of contacting government representation are
ineffective and may be counterproductive.
Those in control of our government understand that some portion of the population will
never accept this new regime and know that it is highly probable that this change in
government will generate some loss of life among the citizenry. The government also
understands that the more depressed the economy and destitute the middle class becomes,
the more willing the populace will be to accept any help that can be obtained, even at the
expense of their freedom. Outspoken communists living in the United States estimate
that about twenty million souls will refuse another form of government and must be
removed from the social fabric of the nation to secure a police state. The loss of life that
accompanies changes from a less to much more restrictive form of government may
occur by a variety of means, including famine, exposure, disease, warfare, captivity and
extermination. Extermination has been used to silence resistance in every Marxist
regime.
A significant portion of the people who constitute the U.S. federal and state governments
are true patriots and are undoubtedly frustrated by the actions of their superiors and peers.
This subgroup within the government has been placed in a precarious position: they find
themselves juxtaposed to the will of the American people. Local police, Internal
Revenue Service employees, federal law enforcement officials, statesmen, and other
government officials have been forced to decide if they will continue to support an overbearing
and corrupt government or interrupt their career path, possibly through noncompliance
with the government or insubordination. Those who discontinue or have
already discontinued their service may have placed themselves in a very precarious
financial position for the well being of the nation, and deserve to be treated accordingly,
particularly if these career changes are made during unstable economic conditions.
Others will continue serving the current power structure, be it for selfish or ideological
reasons. Given the repeated outcries of the public for obvious reforms and the blatant
corruption, ignorance or incompetence can hardly be considered a valid excuse for
participating in the demise of America. For decades, politicians have been winning the
support of police and fire unions by promising lavish retirement and benefit packages
knowing that the real cost of these promises will not be felt for many years. Government
retirement packages outpace private industry by almost 2:1 in dollar value. In New York
City, 60 percent of firemen that have retired in the last five years have done so on
disability. After one year of service, the disability benefit is 85% of their last year’s
income every year for life, with full medical coverage. The result is a billion dollar
8
annual expense to New York tax payers. This is not to say that these men have done
anything wrong (certainly some are true hero’s), but the numbers are suspect.
The men and women of the US military are in a particularly brutal position. While they
are fighting dutifully and honorably their own freedoms are being extinguished. They
should be lauded, since they do not have the option of discontinuing their service for the
government and have risked their lives in defense of what little freedom has been left
remaining.
Consider the ease with which our government officials have corrupted our democratic
republic. While they extinguish the freedoms of the American people their personal
security is assured by armed guards, a full inflation-adjusted salary for life and medical
coverage for life. Even if they die, their spouses receive the same benefits for life. Their
staff, ardent supporters and close associates also seem to take advantage of the public
trust with impunity, or at the very least support others who abuse the public office. It
appears that corruption is so prevalent that the judicial branch of government is no longer
capable of enforcing justice or the laws within its own government.
One commonly held misconception is that a large, organized effort must be in place
before any significant resistance to a corrupt and overbearing government can be
successful. To the contrary, small, loosely connected groups or even individual citizens
are much more difficult to predict, suppress or control than large, established
organizations. The terrorist cell is a modern demonstration of such a demographic. Their
targeting of civilian casualties has been condemned by the world and resulted in a
multinational response to their actions. It is a barbaric practice and increased resistance
against their cause. However, loosely affiliated groups that have assimilated with the
populace have completed inexpensive and effective attacks that have changed the policies
of every major world government. It is the convictions of the individual that will
determine his or her effectiveness, not the number of the resistance. When combined
with prudence, planning, and caution, resistance to government by widely dispersed and
fragmented clusters of patriots is the only plausible method of confronting the
government of a modern industrialized nation.
The window of opportunity for the citizenry of the United States is closing on any
opportunity for significant dissidence. Once the right of the people to bear arms is
abolished, be it by congressional resolution, Supreme Court ruling, local ordinance, state
law, confiscation or over-taxation of guns and ammunition, no other individual liberty
can be protected. Any form of resistance will be futile and can result in disastrous and
widespread oppression. One recently introduced bill in congress allocates $340 billion to
F.E.M.A. This expenditure and others like it (Homeland Security, for example) allow the
federal government to continue to bolster domestic security forces, which are still in the
early stages of development. The very slow response of F.E.M.A. and other federal
agencies to hurricane Katrina and the recent ice storms on the East Coast are evidence of
their limited domestic resources. Congress is moving very quickly to change this
condition and is not restraining itself with prudent fiscal policy; in a matter of months
domestic security forces can and probably will be doubled, and continued expansion into
9
the foreseeable future is already planned. Legislation has been passed giving F.E.M.A.
“authority” to confiscate weapons, food, supplies, fuel and other private property during
an “emergency” as defined by the government. The response of the private citizen to
these F.E.M.A. actions during a natural disaster should be contemplated in advance.
The failure of our elected officials to implement common-sense legislation that represents
the will of the vast majority of the populace can no longer be blamed on incompetence,
ignorance or partisanship. Their refusal to comply with the will of the people or the rule
of law can no longer be concealed. They have become blatant and arrogant in their
security as their intentions have become clear. The time to make them understand that
the people will not comply willingly, and that among the masses are true patriots, men
and women of conviction and valor, is before individual liberty is eliminated. Without
mobility, weapons, or financial resources, resistance is impossible. Indeed, armed
dissidence is a last resort, but it is better than being a slave to the wicked.
Any violent or threatening dissidence aimed at public officials or their supporters will be
framed as an act of terrorism and a heinous crime by the government and media. Even
this document can be parsed and framed in the necessary context to portray something
other than what it is, identify its writer as a domestic terrorist, and remove the writer from
society without due course of law. In fact, this document represents the sobering reality
of our current political landscape. The conclusions reached herein, particularly with
respect the concept that current methods of voicing opinion in government are completely
ineffective and probably counterproductive, should not be a crime. After all, there is
little new thought contained herein. Thomas Jefferson saw this day when he wrote the
following:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the
banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the
people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Some of you ask, "How does this fit into the "Plan"?"
Some wonder if there is a plan.
Some worry about the RKBA, others about education. Many are concerned about fiscal policy the destruction of the middle class and populist sentiment morphing into outrught class warfare.Some worry about multiculturalism being force-fed down our throats. Others are concerned about socialized medicine or rampant Imperialism and Democracy-building.
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!

tax dollars. The gangs and crime associated with the illegal aliens has become a national
crisis, and illegal aliens represent more than 30 percent of our prison population (another
unwarranted expense). Approximately 60 percent of the illegal alien population is not
employed and lives solely on government subsidies. The image portrayed by the media
is that illegal immigration keeps the cost of food down. Only two percent of illegal
immigrants work in agriculture. Though the domestic unemployment rates are at record
levels, and in spite of millions of emails, letters and faxes from their constituents,
regardless of very real terrorists threats from Muslim extremists, our legislators refuse to
control our borders or enforce immigrant employment laws. By allowing the problem to
continue the social fabric of the populace is further fragmented while the economic
independence of the middle class is further eroded. In addition, the general population is
being saturated with individuals who do not understand the principles of our Constitution,
are largely unskilled or semi-skilled and without higher education, and are eager to
subjugate themselves to a central government in return for basic necessities. Further
divisions of the populace occur as legal (and welcomed) immigrants are erroneously
grouped with those who have ignored our laws. Work visas, including the 1.2 million
work visas for foreign engineers currently approved by our legislators, have many of the
same effects.
The federal government created a housing bubble by forcing the banking industry to
make home loans to people who could not afford them (based on the demographics of
race and income in the area serviced by the lending institutions), through tax incentives
that further encourage over-spending (interest deductions), and by artificially inflating the
market with economic controls (the Federal Reserve). The federal government is now
using forcibly obtained tax dollars from working Americans to buy the mortgages for
these homes. Since the mortgages have been bundled in securities with other less risky
mortgages, the government is essentially taking title to the property of the middle class en
mass, including the mortgages of those who are still able to pay their bills in spite of the
burden of over-taxation.

Our legislators have refused to re-write our tax codes, which have become so complex
that an entire industry has been developed around deciphering them. Though seventy
percent of manufacturing operations nation wide have been moved off shore or to Central
and South America in the last 20 years, our legislators still maintain that our corporate tax
rate, the highest in the industrialized world, is justified. At 39 percent, the taxes on a
manufacturing entity in the United States are significantly higher than the flat tax of 33
percent for manufacturing firms in communist China. When added to the costs of tax
code compliance, regulation (such as OSHA and the EPA), and liability expenses,
manufacturing industry leaders estimate that the differential in manufacturing costs
increases to 18 percent. This does not include the cost of labor in the US. Still, because
of the higher productivity of the American worker, these same leaders believe that a
small decrease in corporate taxes of eight to ten percent would make domestic
manufacturing more appealing than most foreign markets. Part of this cost reduction
could be achieved with a simplified tax code.
Legislators have increased the stringency of bankruptcy laws for the individual, allowing
the courts to use disposable income formulas developed by the Internal Revenue Service
to confiscate all disposable income from the bankrupt individual for years to come; a
form of economic slavery. At the same time, legislators loosened the rules of lending for
the credit card companies, allowing them to change interest rates without justification
after loaning money at a much lower rate, increase interest rates well above the previous
draconian limit of 25%, impose crushing penalties, and even modify payment dates to fall
on holidays.
The United States government spends more on every student in our public schools than
any other industrialized nation while the quality of the education provided is lower than
every other industrialized nation and some third-world nations. Yet our legislators refuse
to usurp the stronghold of the teachers union (a union in a government-controlled entity is
a travesty in itself) and prohibit privatization of the system through such means as school
vouchers or tax incentives. Instead, the tax laws provide a mortgage interest deduction
for the family that buys a home they can’t afford while giving no allowance whatsoever
for the expense of a private lower education. In reality, education, not the home building
industry, will do the most for the long-term prosperity of the nation.
Our legislators and the executive branch have exempted themselves from many of the
laws they force upon the citizenry, including paying into our mandatory social security
fund. Congress refuses to comply with the will of the people when it comes to any
corrective action; such as term limits. On a local level, cities that maintain a mandatory
one-year jail sentence for possession of a handgun make exception for the mayor, his
staff, and city alderman, who are deputized specifically to allow them to carry a firearm.
Even the capitol building itself has been exempted from handicapped accessibility laws,
which leave extra empty handicapped parking spaces in front of every business in
America.

Appointed (not elected) regulators, under pressure from the President and Congress, have
refused to reign in energy futures trading, which has caused wild variation in energy costs
since they deregulated the industry a few years ago by allowing the purchase of US oil
futures by foreign entities, increasing the maximum number of futures available, and
allowing their trade in foreign markets. Similar deregulation has occurred with mortgage
instruments. With each fluctuation of oil prices or mortgage interest rates billions of
dollars in profits are being taken out of our economy by foreign investors and a few
extraordinarily wealthy domestic businessmen (who also control Congress and the
Federal Reserve). George Soros took $2 billion dollars out of the mortgage futures
market in 2006. His media and corporate network are large enough to impact public
policy and Wall Street. He can literally make his speculations happen after he places his
bets. Because of his network of firms around the globe, he paid almost nothing in taxes
on this income. He also contributed millions of dollars to hundreds of political
campaigns and provided immeasurable assistance to these same politicians with his
media empire.
NAFTA and similar trade agreements have crippled the citrus industry in the US and
have had a lasting negative effect on many other industrial sectors. While it was common
knowledge throughout the 1900’s that any American who drank water or ate fresh
vegetables while in Mexico would get sick, now the majority of our fruits and vegetables
are coming from Mexico. The public is suffering from a huge array of intestinal and
respiratory ailments on a nation-wide basis, yet the government is focusing on a single
domestic peanut manufacturer for causing a limited portion of just one of these maladies.
The object of this display of concern is the justification of more government jobs and
greater government control of domestic industry. Diseases such as small pox and
tuberculosis were all but eliminated in the US only ten years ago, but swarms of
impoverished illegal aliens and contaminated food sources have caused a major
resurgence of these and other low-level diseases. Our food processing plants are
crawling with government inspectors that have free reign of the facility, while there is
only one inspector for every 100 facilities in China that is manufacturing food for export
to the US. Simultaneously, product labeling laws have been changed to make it harder to
determine where a product is from.
In recent months, the federal government has begun to nationalize key industries,
including the insurance industry, banking industry and the securities industry. Even more
troublesome is the intent to “invest” in small business operations across the nation (under
the guise of buying bad loans). No independent private business will survive in an
industry that is owned in part by the federal government. Once the government owns a
significant portion of any industry, fair competition cannot exist. The opportunities for
corruption here are almost endless. All of this is being done with tax dollars that will be
forcibly confiscated from working Americans. Because the money is not actually in the
treasury and is instead being printed, it is highly likely that the citizenry will experience
runaway inflation as investors in the dollar loose confidence or refuse to loan the US
more money. At the same time the middle class will experience radical tax increases and
loss of services to repay this debt.

In 2008, our elected officials removed $340 billion dollars from the treasury without
defining what the funds will be used for (which is against our own constitutional law, and
was done without a constitutional amendment or super-majority). The federal
government claims to have put the money under the control of the Federal Reserve, and
to date refuses to disclose to the public specifically where or how the funds were
allocated. This, quite simply, is theft.
The American people have witnessed executive orders from the White House and acts of
Congress that contain vague language and compromise our right to privacy, our right to a
jury by our peers, and our right to legal counsel (ironically called the “patriot act”). Any
dissident citizen can be labeled a domestic terrorist, as defined solely by the federal
government, and thus loose all rights to due course of law.
During the twelve years it took to completely ban all privately owned firearms in Great
Britain violent crime increased 300%. In Australia, where all guns were banned more
recently, violent crime has risen 400% in just a few years. Miami has changed from one
of the most violent cities in the nation to one of the safest since right-to-carry laws were
enacted four years ago. Every repressive regime in modern history has banned firearm
ownership before eliminating the most basic rights of the populace. The current efforts
of our lawmakers to eliminate private firearm ownership demonstrates their blatant
disregard for the well being of the people and their desire to force the citizenry into
complete submission to their every whim. Once all firearms have been removed from the
populace or made inaccessible to the vast majority of the population, all of the other
individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution will be rapidly eliminated. The
efforts of state, federal and local officials to completely remove the right of the people to
bear arms are contrary to the will of more than 80 percent of the population. By parsing
the process into small increments rational can be provided by the government and media
to sway a slightly larger segment of the civilian population into agreement with the
government. The ultimate objective of the government remains unchanged; complete
submission of the general population.
The refusal of our elected officials to comply with their own laws, close our borders,
support moral and ethical lending practices, reduce the costs of manufacturing by
reducing corporate taxes and renegotiating trade agreements, simplify the tax code,
reduce the number of work visas during record unemployment, or even to comply with
our own constitutional law, is clear evidence of their treason. The erosion of our rights,
and continued attempts to confiscate our arms, even to silence dissenting opinions
(“fairness in broadcasting” legislation) further clarify the immoral and treacherous
intentions of the government. No other explanation can justify their actions; we are
witnessing an orchestrated attempt to dissolve the Bill of Rights, reduce the middle class
to a property of the state, and establish a permanent ruling class.
During the last major congressional debate of 2008 on immigration reform, the White
House and Congress deliberately shut down communications with the general population.
Phone systems and web sites were reduced to ten percent operating capacity or
completely disabled. Congressional leaders claimed that this was done because specific
7
radio talk show hosts were causing their listeners to saturate congressional
communication lines. The shutting off of the voice of the people by the government
during this crucial debate is a clear example of a complete disregard for the will of the
people and disdain for the rights of the middle class by our legislators. Tens of millions
of faxes, emails, letters and phone calls have had little or no effect on the ultimate
objectives of the government. Instead, this information is being used to gauge the anger
level of the populace, pace the removal of our individual freedoms, locate concentrations
of dissenting opinion, target specific dissidents, and prevent or prepare for a violent
insurgence. Clearly, the traditional methods of contacting government representation are
ineffective and may be counterproductive.
Those in control of our government understand that some portion of the population will
never accept this new regime and know that it is highly probable that this change in
government will generate some loss of life among the citizenry. The government also
understands that the more depressed the economy and destitute the middle class becomes,
the more willing the populace will be to accept any help that can be obtained, even at the
expense of their freedom. Outspoken communists living in the United States estimate
that about twenty million souls will refuse another form of government and must be
removed from the social fabric of the nation to secure a police state. The loss of life that
accompanies changes from a less to much more restrictive form of government may
occur by a variety of means, including famine, exposure, disease, warfare, captivity and
extermination. Extermination has been used to silence resistance in every Marxist
regime.
A significant portion of the people who constitute the U.S. federal and state governments
are true patriots and are undoubtedly frustrated by the actions of their superiors and peers.
This subgroup within the government has been placed in a precarious position: they find
themselves juxtaposed to the will of the American people. Local police, Internal
Revenue Service employees, federal law enforcement officials, statesmen, and other
government officials have been forced to decide if they will continue to support an overbearing
and corrupt government or interrupt their career path, possibly through noncompliance
with the government or insubordination. Those who discontinue or have
already discontinued their service may have placed themselves in a very precarious
financial position for the well being of the nation, and deserve to be treated accordingly,
particularly if these career changes are made during unstable economic conditions.
Others will continue serving the current power structure, be it for selfish or ideological
reasons. Given the repeated outcries of the public for obvious reforms and the blatant
corruption, ignorance or incompetence can hardly be considered a valid excuse for
participating in the demise of America. For decades, politicians have been winning the
support of police and fire unions by promising lavish retirement and benefit packages
knowing that the real cost of these promises will not be felt for many years. Government
retirement packages outpace private industry by almost 2:1 in dollar value. In New York
City, 60 percent of firemen that have retired in the last five years have done so on
disability. After one year of service, the disability benefit is 85% of their last year’s
income every year for life, with full medical coverage. The result is a billion dollar
8
annual expense to New York tax payers. This is not to say that these men have done
anything wrong (certainly some are true hero’s), but the numbers are suspect.
The men and women of the US military are in a particularly brutal position. While they
are fighting dutifully and honorably their own freedoms are being extinguished. They
should be lauded, since they do not have the option of discontinuing their service for the
government and have risked their lives in defense of what little freedom has been left
remaining.
Consider the ease with which our government officials have corrupted our democratic
republic. While they extinguish the freedoms of the American people their personal
security is assured by armed guards, a full inflation-adjusted salary for life and medical
coverage for life. Even if they die, their spouses receive the same benefits for life. Their
staff, ardent supporters and close associates also seem to take advantage of the public
trust with impunity, or at the very least support others who abuse the public office. It
appears that corruption is so prevalent that the judicial branch of government is no longer
capable of enforcing justice or the laws within its own government.
One commonly held misconception is that a large, organized effort must be in place
before any significant resistance to a corrupt and overbearing government can be
successful. To the contrary, small, loosely connected groups or even individual citizens
are much more difficult to predict, suppress or control than large, established
organizations. The terrorist cell is a modern demonstration of such a demographic. Their
targeting of civilian casualties has been condemned by the world and resulted in a
multinational response to their actions. It is a barbaric practice and increased resistance
against their cause. However, loosely affiliated groups that have assimilated with the
populace have completed inexpensive and effective attacks that have changed the policies
of every major world government. It is the convictions of the individual that will
determine his or her effectiveness, not the number of the resistance. When combined
with prudence, planning, and caution, resistance to government by widely dispersed and
fragmented clusters of patriots is the only plausible method of confronting the
government of a modern industrialized nation.
The window of opportunity for the citizenry of the United States is closing on any
opportunity for significant dissidence. Once the right of the people to bear arms is
abolished, be it by congressional resolution, Supreme Court ruling, local ordinance, state
law, confiscation or over-taxation of guns and ammunition, no other individual liberty
can be protected. Any form of resistance will be futile and can result in disastrous and
widespread oppression. One recently introduced bill in congress allocates $340 billion to
F.E.M.A. This expenditure and others like it (Homeland Security, for example) allow the
federal government to continue to bolster domestic security forces, which are still in the
early stages of development. The very slow response of F.E.M.A. and other federal
agencies to hurricane Katrina and the recent ice storms on the East Coast are evidence of
their limited domestic resources. Congress is moving very quickly to change this
condition and is not restraining itself with prudent fiscal policy; in a matter of months
domestic security forces can and probably will be doubled, and continued expansion into
9
the foreseeable future is already planned. Legislation has been passed giving F.E.M.A.
“authority” to confiscate weapons, food, supplies, fuel and other private property during
an “emergency” as defined by the government. The response of the private citizen to
these F.E.M.A. actions during a natural disaster should be contemplated in advance.
The failure of our elected officials to implement common-sense legislation that represents
the will of the vast majority of the populace can no longer be blamed on incompetence,
ignorance or partisanship. Their refusal to comply with the will of the people or the rule
of law can no longer be concealed. They have become blatant and arrogant in their
security as their intentions have become clear. The time to make them understand that
the people will not comply willingly, and that among the masses are true patriots, men
and women of conviction and valor, is before individual liberty is eliminated. Without
mobility, weapons, or financial resources, resistance is impossible. Indeed, armed
dissidence is a last resort, but it is better than being a slave to the wicked.
Any violent or threatening dissidence aimed at public officials or their supporters will be
framed as an act of terrorism and a heinous crime by the government and media. Even
this document can be parsed and framed in the necessary context to portray something
other than what it is, identify its writer as a domestic terrorist, and remove the writer from
society without due course of law. In fact, this document represents the sobering reality
of our current political landscape. The conclusions reached herein, particularly with
respect the concept that current methods of voicing opinion in government are completely
ineffective and probably counterproductive, should not be a crime. After all, there is
little new thought contained herein. Thomas Jefferson saw this day when he wrote the
following:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the
banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the
people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
