A
once free nation’s descent into tyranny occurs one of two ways: either through
sudden violent revolution or gradually over decades in fits and starts.
America’s has occurred gradually.
Government conquers its citizens
with gradualism because few understand it. Gradualism is imperceptible force.
America has evolved into a lawless
state. There has been a breakdown of law and order, but only a few can see it.
There are many layers of deception and those few who have become alerted see
and understand at different levels.
The first trigger of alert is when a
few people come to understand that government is organized crime and that
government is in all-out war with its own citizens. The central purpose of Personal
Liberty Digest™ is to raise the awareness of the people.
The U.S. Congress has, gradually,
ceded its authority to the President and to the alphabet soup agencies of
government that it created or allowed the President to create. Now the
President rewrites laws on a whim, or chooses to not enforce them on a whim.
This is the stuff of third-world banana republics. The imperial presidency
feared by the Founding Fathers is in full operation. Yet the feckless Congress
hardly whimpers about it and the people do little more than shrug their
collective shoulders.
Even worse are the regulatory and
quasi-military law enforcement agencies. These agencies, staffed by career
bureaucrats and headed by statists with “altruistic” motives that always
benefit either the cronies and well-connected or the growing government
apparatus, create new standards and new regulations and new rules without
regard to the Constitution and their effect on the American people.
Often the elites simply do not care how
their policies will affect average Americans so long as the fascist system is
rewarded or the State is made more powerful. Other times the detrimental
effects are simply chalked up as unintended consequences or collateral damage.
Almost any crime can be carried out
without overt force or resistance if it is done gradually. Somehow any process
of gradualism escapes detection. Gradualism extends false hope and the illusion
of reality.
One can poison himself and be dead
immediately. On the other hand, we can be poisoned over time with fluoride in
our drinking water, by vaccinations and inoculations, by toxins in our foods,
and so on ad infinitum.
Gradualism does something else. It
confuses cause and effect. As long as a process of currency depreciation is gradual,
the people cannot discern the cause nor place the blame on the money printers.
Currency debasement has throughout
history always been the method of choice of governments to steal and transfer
wealth from the people to the government in subtle and secret ways so that the
crowd never catches on.
This is going on now in our lifetime
more than at any time in history. Yet there is no revolution. There is no blood
in the streets. The propaganda still holds sway. The people still trust the
system. The people remain calm.
Not only are the peasants calm, they
have been deceived into believing that rising stock markets constitute a sign
of prosperity. They can’t conceive that the market is a bubble of fiat currency
(nominal dollars) that is in no way reflective of real dollars or real value.
This type of chicanery is a tribute
to modern and very sophisticated propaganda that is hiding the destruction of
the value of the currency and impoverishing all who hold U.S. dollars as
savings and retirement.
There is always a secret and hidden
agenda in government finance, now more than ever. The U.S. government has
become such a fiat money monster that it has lost control of normal channels of
finance. It cannot levy enough taxes for income nor negotiate loans.
The government can least afford to
reveal that it is engaged in grand theft by printing money. So it kills the
signs and symptoms by suppressing the price of gold and silver and engaging in
printing money to fund a government that is essentially out of control.
Time will have its way but at this
point it is vital that government mislead and deceive the public in order to
continue the present system that could not survive one minute if the people
really had a choice by understanding the truth here printed.
Note from the
Editor: Round two of the financial meltdown is predicted to reach global
proportions, already adversely affecting Greece, Spain and most of Europe. It
appears less severe in the states because our banks are printing useless fiat
currency. I’ve arranged for readers to get two free books—Surviving a Global
financial Crisis and Currency Collapse, plus How to Survive the Collapse of
Civilization—to help you prepare for the worst. Click here for your free copies.
The U.S. political system is on a
theft binge of consuming the assets of Americans by whatever method it can
contrive. It is financial war and the political system is winning, backed by
the police power of the State. Any thinking person can clearly see that the
U.S. system is collapsing. Better said, it is self destructing in many ways.
The USA Patriot Act was passed
without protest because of the people’s fear following the 9/11 attacks on
America. The law codified the electronic surveillance and snooping that Edward
Snowden’s revelations brought into public light. But the government was already
collecting data in a massive operation long before the act was passed.
Once passed, the law was twisted and
abused and this abuse sanctioned by the people in all levels of government to
the extent that there is no longer any private communication and any
communication that is contrary to the government’s message is now considered
hate speech or inappropriate speech to be regulated and or persecuted.
The State is currently pushing a
homosexual agenda and has the full force of the mainstream media behind it. The
message has become so radicalized and nonsensical that an NBC report on an American Olympic skier
claimed the athlete lived an “alternative lifestyle” because he had a wife and
child, attends church regularly, takes care of his family and goes home at
night rather that going partying with friends. In other words, the lifestyle of
the majority of Americans is now being cast by the propaganda machine as
“alternative” whereas the perverse immoral lifestyle of homosexuality is being
cast as the new normal.
The Department of Justice tapped the
phone lines and scoured the phone records of reporters and their family
members. The IRS stifled the free speech of Tea Party- and Christian-affiliated
groups by denying them 501(c)3 status and subjecting them to extra scrutiny not
required of other groups—going so far as to seek information on their family
members, associations, reading habits and group affiliations.
The Department of Homeland Security
has named Tea Party supporters, returning veterans, preppers, and supporters of
libertarian candidates as potential terrorists. These messages have trickled
down into State and local governments who are now increasingly tightening the
screws on American freedoms.
One example is in Campbell, Wis.,
where, after people across the country began hanging signs from highway
overpasses calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama in 2013, the
town passed an ordinance prohibiting signs, flags banners pennants and other
displays on or within 100 feet of vehicle and pedestrian overpasses.
A couple of weeks after the
ordinance was passed, Gregory Luce and a few others appeared on a pedestrian
overpass wearing T-shirts that collectively spelled “IMPEACH” on the front side
and “OBAMA” on the back. A town police officer ordered them to leave or receive
a citation. The group left. Three days later Nicholas Newman appeared on the
same overpass carrying an American flag. He was issued a citation for
displaying the flag in violation of the new ordinance and fined $139.
The Thomas More Law Center has sued
the town on behalf of Luce and Newman. Richard Thompson, President and Chief
Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “The Supreme Court has
repeatedly stated that a bedrock principle of the First Amendment is that
government cannot ban the expression of ideas just because some find it
offensive. In fact, the Supreme Court has allowed the burning of
the American Flag on the grounds that it is matter of free expression. So
I’m astonished that the Town of Campbell and the police department think it can
ban a citizen from displaying the American Flag.”
While nothing would please the
progressive and statist elites more than to see court rulings “legitimizing”
their efforts to shut off dissent, remove guns from American homes, relieve
Americans of any or all of their God-given rights guaranteed under the Bill of
Rights or place FCC “monitors” in newsrooms, many of these attacks are just
window dressing to conceal their ultimate agenda of destroying the American system
for the global elite.
Update: Yesterday I wrote about the growing number of bankers,
including three from JP Morgan Chase, who have died under mysterious
circumstances. Add one more to the list.
Last December, Jason Alan Salais, a
34-year-old information technology specialist with JP Morgan, was suddenly
stricken with illness outside a Walgreens pharmacy in Pearland, Texas. Salais
died later that evening of myocardial infarction. According to the National
Center for Health Statistics and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute,
myocardial infarction affects one half of 1 percent of the population aged
20-39. That makes three people with ties to JP Morgan’s IT department to die in
two months, and the fourth JP Morgan employee overall.

Comments:
I have been in this battle since
2011. It exists at all levels of government.
It’s a federal initiative that began in 1913 with the passage of the
Federal Reserve Act and the U.S. Income Tax.
It has been advanced by “Progressive” politicians incrementally
empowering the federal government ever since.
It parallels the goals set by the American Communist Party since 1920. The
latest push began with George H.W Bush’s approval of U.N. Agenda 21 in 1992 and
Bill Clinton’s Executive Order to implement Agenda 21. Since then, NAFTA and
GATT removed most U.S. manufacturing and off-shored it to other countries. It
has been “down hill” ever since.
Our current dilemma includes a $17
trillion debt and over $120 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Also, 38% of our
working age population are without jobs.
We can recover from our decline, but
it will require the “undoing” of bad laws and bad treaties. It will require that we replace most current
elected officials. It requires that we
educate ourselves and either fun for office or recruit others who will. It requires that we do this NOW.
