<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">On July 6, 1775, the Founders of the United States of America set forth the original Declaration of Causes. The American Colonists had previously made overtures to King George and the Parliament of England about various transgressions against the American Colonies. When those overtures failed to resolve the conflict, the American Colonists made one last attempt at peaceful remedy. Their Declaration of Causes was meant to document their final Petition for Redress of Grievances, fulfilling the requirement of Natural Law's Social Contract that all peaceful remedies be exhausted before alternative remedies be contemplated and/or implemented.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The first draft of said Declaration of Causes was penned by John Rutledge. (No copies of his draft survive). Thomas Jefferson then penned a second draft, which was challenged by John Dickinson. The final draft was penned by John Dickinson, keeping some or much of Jefferson's draft. The rest, as they say, is history. Nearly a year later, the American Colonists cast off the chains of tyranny on July 4, 1776. Yet, as was forewarned by America’s Founders, a group of people have once again attempted to exercise absolute power and dominion over WE THE PEOPLE.</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">WE THE PEOPLE begin this Declaration of Causes by incorporating the first two paragraphs of the original Declaration of Causes. The name(s) of the current violators of our Social Contract are substituted for those of the original Oppressors of the American Colonists, with some further parsing reflecting the manner and method of our current oppression and enslavement:</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4"><i>If it was possible for men who exercise their reason, to believe that the divine Author of our existence intended a part of the human race to hold an absolute property in, and an unbounded power over others, marked out by his infinite goodness and wisdom, as the objects of a legal domination never rightfully resistible, however severe and oppressive,</i> WE THE PEOPLE must <i>require from</i> our elected officials, their moneyed benefactors and our present government of the United States of America <i>some evidence, that this dreadful authority over them has been granted to</i> those people and that body<i>. But a reverence for our great Creator, principles of humanity, and the dictates of common sense, must convince all those who reflect upon the subject, that Government was instituted to promote the welfare of mankind,</i> <span style="font-style: normal;">to preserve the unalienable Natural Rights of the Individual,</span> <span style="font-style: normal;">to allow each individual to enjoy greater liberty than they would have in the chaos of the pre-government natural state</span><i>, and ought to be administered for the attainment of that end.</i></font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">WE THE PEOPLE assert our elected officials and Government are carrying out the agenda of their moneyed benefactors. An agenda whose objective is to reduce the condition of WE THE PEOPLE to one of absolute Despotism. As such, our Government officials and their moneyed benefactors have blurred the lines between themselves and became a “Tyrant Class”. A Tyrant Class that is violating our Social Contract, each of our Individual Unalienable Natural Rights, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, by working to forge a relationship between business and government that decreases or eliminates competition, and reduces WE THE PEOPLE to a state of absolute Despotism, in a manner similar to Fascism and/or Integral Nationalism(anti-individualism and pro-Statism). The individuals comprising this Tyrant Class are the current Oppressors of WE THE PEOPLE.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Yet, though this “Tyrant Class” consisting of government officials and moneyed private citizens and corporations is working together to advance this agenda of Injustice and Treason, <u>it is only our government officials who take oaths to represent WE THE PEOPLE, to preserve our rights, to uphold the Constitution, and advance the best interests of the WE THE PEOPLE</u>. Therefore, at the present time we address this Second Declaration of Causes to our Government and our Government's elected and unelected bureaucratic officials and civil servants (hereafter collectively referred to as “Government”); <u>For it is they whom WE THE PEOPLE presently have the best leverage, legal basis and Natural Right to hold accountable for violating their oaths of office</u> and using their offices to instead, advance the oppression of WE THE PEOPLE. In other words, our Government officials are most accountable by reason of the consequences of the punishments upon conviction for TREASON.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">To continue, WE THE PEOPLE observe that the Tyrant Class and our present oppressor Government have learned a great deal from the experiences and mistakes of King George and the Parliament of England. King George and the English Parliament were predisposed to arrogance and too often unilaterally commanded abrupt, overt changes in policy with little concern and/or regard for the reactions of the masses, often relying upon open displays of force and violence to force compliance. This style and manner of governance caused the colonists to be alert for policy changes adversely affecting them. Alertness that could quickly escalate to concern, alarm and calls for action. And, these calls for action could and often would rise to the level of heated, even violent resistance. Indeed, to actual Revolution. Our current Oppressor Government and Tyrant Class also learned from King George's loss to the American Colonists that the traditional strategy of the use of violence to retain power was vulnerable in the face of new ideas tending to invigorate the masses to revolt. (We will discuss later who our current Oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class later learned from the experiences and mistakes of the Marxists, and evolved new strategies to avoid those same mistakes)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Aware of the shortcomings of these methods, our present oppressor government has adopted new calculated, incremental, duplicitous and often covert methods which minimize awareness and/or adverse reactions of WE THE PEOPLE. This methodology reduces the chances of widespread organized concern, alarm and/or calls to action which may result in heated and/or violent resistance from WE THE PEOPLE. These incremental changes can and have taken place over years, decades,</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">generations and even a Century or more. These incremental changes are coldly calculated to implement adverse policy changes slowly enough over time to avoid raising tensions to that critical level that may lead to resistance, revolt and/or outright revolution. (A method utilizing the “Frogs in a Pot” analogy.) In this way, older generations with knowledge of “the way things used to be”, eventually die off before the full nature and effect of adverse policy changes are implemented and/or recognizable. Younger generations never know things were ever “another way”. Our Government augments its incremental implementation of policy changes with new propaganda and conditioning techniques made possible by advances in psychology and other sciences.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">And this puts WE THE PEOPLE at a distinct disadvantage relative to the circumstances of our Founders. The Founders clashes with the English Crown leading up to their Declaration of Causes were eventful, noteworthy, well publicized and occurred over a shorter period of time. The majority of the American Colonists inherently understood the basis of the Founder's Declaration of Causes. The majority of the American Colonists were simultaneously moved to alarm and action without much need for further explanation. In our present instance, our oppressors' very calculated and incremental methodology has resulted in our resistance to their trespasses being a series of far less spectacular confrontations attended by far fewer citizens over a much longer period of time with little or no coverage by our seemingly complicit Main Stream Media. Ergo, the vast majority of our fellow citizens are unaware, unsure and/or confused about what, if anything, untoward is transpiring at the direction of our Government and the Tyrant Class. For these and the following reasons, this Second Declaration of Causes will necessarily be substantially longer than the American Colonists' “first” Declaration of Causes:</font></font></p>

Amongst our oppressor Government's first moves has been to remove, skew and/or downplay the Foundational elements of our Representative, Constitutionally Limited Republic from the populace. Our oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class deem those already possession of the knowledge, vision, attitude, “Perspective of Reality” and metaphysical context of the Founders of our Republic as hopelessly “contaminated”.

We find it prudent and necessary to identify, and take remedial action to address some of the effects of our Government's calculated and incremental methods. WE THE PEOPLE have identified our Government's preferred method to remove what they term the “contamination” of the Founders' knowledge from the Public Sphere <a href="http://t.co/22u1aKV0ee">http://t.co/22u1aKV0ee</a>. That method is to prevent (or “spin”) the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context of the Founders from being instilled in our youth in our Public Schools. And then, to simply smugly wait for the older generations of Americans to die, simultaneously removing what our oppressors deem our/the “contaminating” influence of the Founders from the collective Public Sphere.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">To our consternation, our Government has been very successful at removing the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and the metaphysical context of the Founders from the American Public Sphere. Not only have Public Schools not been emphasizing the foundational elements of America's Founding to our youth, Education Programs such as Common Core, STEM and AVID, have also been conditioning “rugged individualism” and “creativity” out of our youth and indoctrinating them to become passive “sheople” who want to “conform”. The majority of our most recently matriculated generations of Americans (By our estimate, those 35 and under) lack the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context necessary to recognize and understand our current Causes and the reasons for our Alarm. (Those of you under 35, the blame for this circumstance does not rest upon you, it rests squarely on us older Americans who failed to hold our public schools accountable. However, so informed it falls upon you to “inform” yourselves.)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Our oppressor Government has further advanced its goal of removing the “contaminating knowledge and attitude” of the Founder's from the Public Sphere with recent, almost unchecked immigration. Quite simply, if immigrants have never known freedom and liberty, they are not likely notice it when the government takes it away. Further, many of the governments in the native countries of these immigrants use far harsher methods to condition their subjects to be passive and conform. Much harsher than our current Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the still remaining level of “contaminating knowledge and attitude of the Founders” in the Public Sphere, will allow in America.</font></font></p>

The majority of the public in our Founder's time shared their knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context. Ergo, those Americans aware of our Government's present trespassed do not enjoy the advantages our Founders did, in a innate and spontaneous public awareness of, and reaction to, the nature of their Causes, concerns and alarm.</font></font></p>

Popular discussions about the causes of the First American Revolution revolve around simple, straightforward issues like unfair taxes, lack of representation, other economic injustices, the Intolerable and Declaratory Acts, and the use of Admiralty Courts along with general lack of Due Process. In reality, the American Revolution can best be summed up as a metaphysical revolution against metaphysics of the Governance Doctrine known as the “Divine Right of Kings”. What follows is a summary of the aspects of the “Divine Right of Kings” most relevant to our Declaration of Causes:</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings” asserts that the King/Queen/Head of State (hereafter “King”) was a God or the representative of God here on earth. As such, no earthly-being had the right to challenge the King’s authority or decisions (As the King alleged himself to be a God or divinely inspired).</font></font></p>

No person could be on the King's land without the King’s permission. Subjects could be required to quarter the King's soldiers. No person on the King’s land had any rights. Instead they only had permissions and privileges, which could be revoked by the King for any reason. Disloyalty and criticizing the King/Aristocracy were very effectively stifled with the threat of revocation of your permissions and privileges weighing in the balance. What Free Speech? People in this circumstance are Subjects, not Citizens.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Further, the King was the final arbiter of Justice. Instead of the “Rule of Law” <a href="http://t.co/f6bNrP63Zj">http://t.co/f6bNrP63Zj</a>, Justice most often occurred in the fashion of the “Rule of Man” <a href="http://bit.ly/1EPjPkK">http://bit.ly/1EPjPkK</a>.

Individuals were expected to accept the Truth established by the King and/or the Church. One of the ways the King maintained his power was by controlling the Perception of Reality(metaphysical context) of his subjects. Most often, subjects were required to practice the religion of the King. Tradition,</font></font></p>

While the tradition of the class system kept most subjects “in their place”, the Church and its dogma commanded loyalty to the King by all subjects. Opposing, criticizing and/or disagreeing with the King was not just treason; it was heresy subject to eternal damnation.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">More extreme Conditioning (Reward and Punishment for “proper” behavior) such as seizure of property, exile, imprisonment, banishment, use of force and gruesome punishment completed the subjugation of the King’s subjects. The mildest criticism of the Kings and even the most reasoned departure from church dogma could result in extreme punishment. For example, the utterance of the belief that the earth was not the center of the universe resulted in more than one person being burned at the stake and/or other similarly horrific punishments.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The King allowed certain persons the privilege to manage portions of his land in exchange for pledges of loyalty to the King, payment of taxes & the supplying of soldiers, for the King’s Army.

Hobbes</span></font></font></font></span></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">, attempted to rationalize and justify the Rule by Kings with a Governance Doctrine of “Divine Right of Kings”. Hobbes posited that Man in the Natural State is not a social animal and is in a constant state of war. Therefore, society could not exist but by the power of the State. According to Hobbes, the Purpose of Government is to impose law and order by repressing the Natural State of war amongst Individuals. In this way, government advanced the best interests of the community. Necessarily, any consideration of the interests of the individual were subordinate to the will of Government, which the King purported to be “the best interests of the community”. And, Hobbes promoted the ideas the King was not accountable to the masses because of his alleged relationship with Divinity. This essentially is the metaphysical context for the Divine Right of Kings. Not surprisingly, many Kings adopted and used Hobbes' “Divine Right of Kings” as justification for their rule. However, as we have pointed out, Hobbes' attempt at his metaphysical explanation was written centuries after the fact. The reality was that the best interests of the Community always were, and/or soon defaulted to, being the same as the best interests of the King, his aristocrats and his moneyed friends.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">From this summary, it should be clear to all that under the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Rights of Kings” all people were subjects, except for an extremely select few individuals. And subjects were literally slaves (Manorial Feudalism <font color="#000080"><span xml:lang="zxx" lang="zxx"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/1zhTioq">http://bit.ly/1zhTioq</a></u></span></font>), or nearly slaves, to the King. Even England's Magna Carta of 1215AD, merely said the King still had, but would not exercise some of his rights and powers over certain subjects, namely aristocrats and the very small number of freemen residing in the country. The Magna Carta did not address the rights of the common folks (subjects) comprising the masses. The vast majority of the King's English subjects remained in the state of actual or virtual enslavement that had previously existed before the Magna Carta.</font></font></p>

Further recall, the famous example of Galileo (1564-1642)being forced to recant his observations to avoid a far harsher fate. Instead Galileo was punished with in-house arrest for almost the last decade of his life? This for noting his observations of the physical world did not comport with the Church’s position that the earth was the center of the universe. These examples are provided to evidence the risk and difficulty the individual encountered in challenging the prevailing metaphysical context of the time, as reflected in the King's (state) and church's “Established Truths”;</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Out of the Renaissance was born the “Age of Reason” aka “The Enlightenment”(circa 1650-1800). It was during The Enlightenment that the fundamental reasons for the American Revolution began developing. During The Enlightenment, the masses began applying their own reasoning to their observations of the world and questioning why things were the way things were. The King's subjects, among them the Men of Letters/Philosophes <a href="http://bit.ly/1JCcia7">http://bit.ly/1JCcia7</a>, began to examine and question the then commonly accepted beliefs of the physical and metaphysical world. It was Sir Isaac Newton's (1642-1726/7?) conception of the Universe based upon natural and rationally understandable laws that became one of the seeds for Enlightenment ideology. John Locke and Voltaire were amongst the Men of Letters/Philosophes during the Enlightenment who were inspired by Newton, and Newton's ability to describe the physical world in rational and mathematical terms. In this “Intellectual stew” of The Enlightenment, the Concepts of Natural Law, Unalienable Natural Rights, The Social Contract and Consent of the Governed were studied and reduced to writing. (The Men of Letters/Philosophes of The Enlightenment were quick to point out that Natural Law and Natural Rights had always existed, and they were merely reducing to writing that which always existed.)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">John Locke (1632-1704) both originated Natural Law concepts, as well as merged, collated and integrated the original thoughts of others, in compiling his Two Treatises of Civil Government(1689). Locke's assessment of man in the Natural State varied from Hobbes'. Locke characterized man in the Natural State as “a social animal having a tendency towards reason and tolerance, but who can be selfish.” In discussing the Social Contract, Locke asserted that that Nature of Man in the Natural State must be considered in constructing government. Locke’s First Treatise on Civil Government was essentially a repudiation of attempts at rationalizing and justifying the Rule by Kings with the concept of the Divine Rights of Kings. Locke’s Second Treatise of Civil Government went on to reduce to writing the concepts of Natural Law, Natural Rights, The Social Contract and Consent of the Governed.

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Great social turmoil arose when the metaphysics supporting Governance under the “Divine Right of Kings” could not be reconciled with new ideas, beliefs and metaphysical concepts which were evolving during “The Enlightenment”. The Kings underestimated the resolve of the masses to have their Unalienable Natural Rights recognized and acknowledged by their Kings. Among the Natural Rights the masses clamored for were Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of the Press, Due Process, Free Travel, Self-Ownership, Self –Determination and Private Property Rights, etc. Quite simply, most Kings insisted on continuing to rule in the same old manner, and with the same power and control, as before. This great metaphysical social upheaval could only be resolved either by compromise or violent revolution.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">As England's upper class became more educated, they were amongst the first to ask questions like, “Why is the King the King?” and “Why can't the King's decisions be challenged?” This resulted in the first fracture in the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings; the English Revolution of 1688. England's “Revolution of 1688” gave a very few, but important, basic Rights to the English masses (on paper). However, England's Revolution of 1688 was mostly about dividing the power, control and wealth the King held under “Divine Right of Kings” amongst more people. Those additional people being the Members in Parliament(MPs). While the English herald the Revolution of 1688 as the demise of the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings”, in practice it was not.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The “Divine Right of Kings” continued all over Europe for a hundred and/or more years. In England they simply began calling it “Indefeasible Hereditary Right” to reflect this new, shared power arrangement of the King with Members of Parliament. So we see that just as with the Magna Carta, the major benefit Revolution of 1688 didn't accrue to the masses but to a relatively few aristocrats. The overwhelming majority of rank and file English folks remained subjects with very few legal rights. Circa 70 years after the English Revolution of 1688, what the American Colonists were experiencing makes it clear that even the limited the reforms for the masses the English had reduced to writing did not match the reality; King George and the Parliament had continued to practice the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings”.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">As time passed, the rank and file subjects of the British Empire also became more educated and were exposed to the ideas of The Enlightenment. The masses also would also begin to Establish Truth for themselves. And the rank and file subjects of the British empire would come to ask the same questions England's upper classes did just before the English Revolution of 1688: “Why is the King the King?” and “Why can't the decisions of the King and Parliament be challenged?” Once again, the new ideas, beliefs and metaphysical concepts of The Enlightenment caused great social turmoil. Once more, the persons with power were reluctant to surrender any of it. And once again, this great metaphysical social upheaval could only be resolved by compromise and/or violent revolution.</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">In essence, the American Revolution was a “Metaphysical Revolution”, reflecting the change in the way the masses viewed their relationships with their Government. The American Colonists formalized their Revolution with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Violent Metaphysical Revolution, spurred by similar metaphysical social upheaval, followed in France in 1789, with the storming of the Bastille. Other European Governments resolved the situation with a combination of negotiation, recognition and accommodation (often in the face of violence by the masses) of the new ideas and metaphysical context spawned by The Enlightenment.</font></font></p>

Again, both “The Social Contract” and “Consent of the Governed” are concepts derived from Natural Law and Natural Rights.

The metaphysical beliefs of our Founders can best be summed up as, “Natural Law”. Maximum liberty of the Individual was the priority of the day. Self-Ownership, Self-Determination, Self-Preservation and Self-Sufficiency were the celebrated ideals of the day. The American Colonists rejoiced in their new found freedom which had resulted from casting off the tyrannical metaphysical basis of the Divine Right of Kings.(This seems like an opportune time to advise the reader, that while the Founder’s and Framer’s of the Constitution were overwhelmingly Christian people, in the interest of Religious Freedom which WE THE PEOPLE hold so dear, our preference is to allow the individual to</font></font></font></p>

This precipitated a Constitutional Convention in 1787 to address these issue, and the Constitution Convention led to a call to replace the the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were replaced with our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, which went into force in 1789 and 1791, respectively.</font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The Founder’s and Framers of the Constitution actually debated whether a Bill of Rights was necessary. <a href="https://t.co/4i1yEqkiY1">https://t.co/4i1yEqkiY1</a> The Declaration of Independence itself only refers to “certain unalienable Rights, amongst these life, liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. The Federalists opposed including a Bill of Rights while the Anti-Federalist demanded it as further protection of the masses from the power of a centralized government. Some of the Founders and Framers insisted a Bill of Rights was necessary to guarantee our Natural Rights. While other Founders and Framers argued that the metaphysical context of Natural Law and Natural Rights were so well known and understood by all, there was no need for the Bill of Rights. Other Founders and Framers were concerned that if only some Natural Rights were listed, persons in the future would deem those Unalienable Natural Rights not listed in the Bill of Rights, as not existing. The Anti-Federalist essentially forced the inclusion of a Bill of Rights as a condition to them agreeing to ratify the Constitution. A Bill of Rights comprised of 12 proposed Amendments to the Constitution was submitted to the States, 10 of which were soon ratified by the States(One of the originally proposed Bill of Rights was ratified more than 200 years later.)</font></font></font></p>

Despite having a Bill of Rights, our current Government has infringed upon both WE THE PEOPLE's Unalienable Natural Rights specifically lists in the Bill of Rights, and those Natural Rights do not appear in the Bill of Rights, but which nevertheless exist. It is chilling to consider what may have already have transpired without our Bill of Rights.</font></font></font></p>

The Founder’s agreed with Locke and others that government must be constructed with the “Nature of Man in the pre-government Natural State” in mind. [First Principles <a href="http://wp.me/p4Oxv6-a">http://wp.me/p4Oxv6-a</a> ] As we indicated earlier, Locke characterized the nature of man in the Natural State to be “tending toward reason and tolerance but who can be selfish”. However, the Founder’s found the characterization of the Nature of Man in the Cato Letters <a href="http://t.co/MR4EVm6mAg">http://t.co/MR4EVm6mAg</a> perhaps closer to their own:</font></font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Therefore, our government was constructed with Checks and Balances, Transparency and Accountability. [Federalist Paper 51 <a href="http://t.co/vzE9aOhgn4">http://t.co/vzE9aOhgn4</a>] The belief being diffusion of power, and the resultant jealousy of power, created by having three separate branches of government hold</font></font></font></p>

The requirement for Transparency is based on the human nature to not commit crime when others are watching to avoid punishment (accountability) for being caught . And Accountability came not from just the other branches of government, but also by the ultimate accountability to the sovereign citizens in casting their votes in elections.</font></font></font></p>

The issues of slavery and race must be addressed here and now, because they have so very often been used by our current Oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class to divide and conquer the American masses. If we do not address those issues here and now, our Government and the Tyrant Class will use them derail the goals of our Second Declaration of Causes. (And even though we do address them, our Government and the Tyrant Class will likely still try to use these issues to derail our present efforts to restore our liberty and curtail their power.)</font></font></font></p>

Modern Racism is an artificial construct promoted by our Government and the Tyrant Class as a means to divide and conquer the masses. When WE THE PEOPLE are fighting amongst ourselves, we cannot unite against our government and Tyrant Class and hold them accountable. And while we are so distracted by fighting amongst ourselves, the Government and Tyrant Class are expanding their power and robbing the masses blind. No matter how personally vested in racism you are, your every act and expression of racism further divides and weakens WE THE PEOPLE. In so doing, you further enslave not only yourself and your children, but every one of your fellow citizens, to our government and the Tyrant Class. Think about it; “Is your own racism so important to you that you are willing to allow the government and Tyrant Class dupe you, your children and future generations of Americans into further loss of your own liberties and property?”</font></font></font></p>

Amongst political activists however, there is much awareness of this movement. And there has been much debate and consternation regarding the merits of having an Article V Constitutional Convention. This writer is forced, for the current time, to come out against the Article V Constitutional Convention as the best method to address our nations current problems. So widely diverse is this writer's reasons for opposing an Article V Constitutional Convention at this time, that it will take some effort to distill them into coherent, digestible "sound bites".</p>
<p>Before we begin with that task, let us talk a little more about the nuts and bolts of the Article V Constitutional Convention Process. The proposed method of Article V Constitutional Convention being proposed requires that 2/3's (currently 34) of the State Legislatures must vote and submit applications to convene an <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/amendment" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Amendment</a>-Proposing Convention. And then, a 3/4's vote(currently 38) of the States would have to occur for the Proposed Amendment(s) to become part of the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/constitution" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Constitution</a>. You can learn more about Article V Constitutional Conventions <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_to_propose_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">and the Constitutional Convention process here</a>. During the 1970s & 1980s, calls for a Constitutional Convention to require a balanced budget gained 30 applications from the States, failed for need of 34. However, to date, an Article V Constitutional Convention has never been used to amend the Constitution.</p>
<p>There are many issues driving the desire for a Article V Constitutional Convention. This writer's short list includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Making what appears to be unaccountable elected officials, accountable. One means being Term Limits and another means being Campaign Finance Reform.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130416/08344222725/congress-quickly-quietly-rolls-back-insider-trading-rules-itself.shtml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Congressional Insider Trading</a></li>
<li>Systemic Corruption intertwined with Government and Business - Systemic Corruption means that the aspects of government that are supposed to prevent & punish corruption instead are complicit in & cover corruption up</li>
<li>Balanced Budget - While this issue is self evident on the Federal Level, this writer brings to bear the failure of Wright County Minnesota to produce Financial Records he has requested verbally since 2008 and in writing through various avenues since 2009. Despite the fact that all the financial records this writer requested are supposed to be public record, in response to this writer's Natural Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances without fear of retaliation or punishment as reduced to writing in the First Amendment, Wright County unleashed a devastating COINTERLPRO style operation of retribution and punishment against this writer. With that in mind, this writer demands that all Municipalities(Cities, Counties, Schools, Met Councils, Port Authorities and Airport Commissions, etc.) be required to post their actual check ledgers on the internet in layman's terms. Said check ledgers to be fully down loadable to fully functioning spreadsheets like MS Excel.</li>
<li>Erosion of controls the Founder's set in place to guard against the Nature of humankind to be non-virtuous - Amongst these being Checks and Balances, Transparency and Accountability - Glaring amongst these it arrogant and aristocratic denial of WE THE PEOPLE's Natural Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances without fear of reprisal or punishment, as reduced to writing in the First Amendment.</li>
<li>Restoration of the Rule of Law (Constitution) from the Rule of Man to......</li>

Progressive Professor Jonathan Gruber was caught on Video and Audio mocking the alleged ignorance of the American masses. (You review this here: <a href="http://t.co/gy7qp08EOo" target="_blank">We've been Grubered</a>). Essentially Progressive Jonathan Gruber openly and brazenly exposed our Progressive Government's belief system. That belief system being that "Progressive Educated Elites have the right and duty to lie to the American Public because rank and file Americans are allegedly too stupid to know what good for them." This writer exposed that Progressive belief system in this article (that some have suggested is worthy of a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize), "<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/engineering-consent" target="_top">Engineering Consent: Subverting the Democratic Process</a>", written months prior to Progressive Professor Jonathan Gruber's now famously exposed arrogant and evil thought processes of our government officials.</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves!</em>"</p>
<p>Edward Murrow</p>

<p>2014 also bore witness this writer's assertions over the past few years that; "There are not two major political parties, but rather one Tyrant Class pretending to be two parties." Rank and file conservatives reveling in a land side 2014 election victory, were abruptly slapped in the face by Progressive, Pro New World Order RINOs <a href="http://t.co/Pvo4u6vu8f" target="_blank">House Speaker John Boehner</a> and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Casting the Republican Party Platform and Principals to the wind, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell aided and abetted Progressive President Barack Obama in passing a $1.3 Trillion budget that included fully funding Obamacare (ACA) and President Obama's Immigration Amnesty Program from now until January 1, 2016.</p>
<p>And with that foreshadowing, it should come as no surprise that Progressive President Barack Obama, alleged Champion of the down-trodden, disenfranchised and disadvantage, produced the <a href="http://t.co/lueqAjKzQC" target="_blank">greatest wealth disparity in the past 30 years</a>. Can there be any doubt of what every American's number one New Year's Resolution should be about?</p>

<p>Parents, if your number one priority this year is not getting involved in politics and government to secure the economic welfare, freedoms and liberty of your children, your pronouncements of loving your children and being wililng to do anything for them, will henceforward ring hollow. And for you men of the old school belief of what it means to be a man, now is the time for you to come to the aid and comfort of those less able to protect and provide for themselves. This writer is ashamed to say so many of you who call yourself "Real Men", have complied on bent knee before our oppressors, rather than refusing to live on your knees before tyrants. It will disgust this writer if athletes who perform for nothing more than self-aggrandizement and money, fail to make and aggressively act upon meaningful resolutions to help rank and file America cast off this oppressions... yet lay claim to being manly and/or real men. And you bleeding heart Hollywood types who claim to care about your fans will lay bare the phony nature of your concern for the welfare of your fans if you do not lend the full weight of your celebrity and fortunes to rebelling against evil Progressive War against Natural Law, Natural Rights, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law and due Process. Be one and all so advised, those who do not support and act resolutely against those who trespass against rank and file Americans, as an enemy.</p>

Today, another <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/protest" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">protest</a> is occurring here, in Minnesota, at the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/mall-of-america" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Mall of America</a>. Mall of America officials have asked the "<a href="http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/27645210/black-lives-matter-protest-could-snarl-saturday-shopping-at-mall-of-america" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Black Lives Matter</a>" organizers of the protest to rally in the parking lot. Mal of America officials have also threatened arrests if the "<a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/black-lives-matter" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Black Lives Matter</a>" protesters go ahead with plans to demonstrate in the rotunda of the Mall of America. Perhaps <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/york-mayor-caught-between-protests-police-235711722.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">NYC Major Bill De Blasio's attempt</a> to straddle the both currently proffered sides of the argument best demonstrates the angst and political minefield this issue represents. However, as the title of this article foreshadows, this writer believes he is about to turn the current perspective of this issue on its head.</p>
<p>Before we go to the short segue to follow, in anticipation that some readers won't go much beyond this point, this writer want to give a bit of advise to all protesters in the US. That advise is: "Before you assert your right to revolt and/or withdraw your "Consent to be Governed" (engage in violent protest); <a href="http://t.co/rZswNupbeO" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Natural Law,</a> upon which our country is founded, prescribes that you must first "exhaust your peaceful remedies" before you revolt. Amongst the peaceful remedies is your Natural Right to "Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances without fear of punishment or reprisal" as reduced to writing in the First Amendment. And due to machinations of our corrupt government and judiciary, you must make sure your evidence and testimony get on the "OFFICIAL LEGISLATIVE RECORD", or it is as though you never voiced your dissent. (the exception being unless your protests achieves overwhelming critical mass and elected officials cannot ignore public opinion. Later in this article we will discuss ways for you to achieve critical mass - Later in this article we will discuss how to achieve the "critical mass" level of support.) For those of you who want truer explanation of what is driving these protests and some possible solutions to the problem, please continue reading.</p>
<p>WARNING! This writer is about to make you think. This writer is going to approach this matter in a manner he has yet to see others approach it. And as this writer has previously told his readers, "I'm no rocket scientist; why haven't the journalist "Talking Heads" getting the big bucks figured this out." Yet this time this writer is going to go one step further and assert that the "Talking Head" journalists have figured it out and decided to aid and abet our government in deceiving rank and file America. Essentially today's journalists are Modern Day "Uncle Toms"; willing to participate in injustice and trade the lives and liberty of their fellow man for their personal gain and creature comforts.</p>
<p>At the same time, in face of <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/donmashak/weve-been-grubered-apply-everything-gruber-said-ul1u" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Professor Jonathan Gruber's</a> revelations of the true nature or our government's attitude towards the masses (We are too stupid to know whats good for us, so they have the right and duty to lie to the masses) cause this writer to want to arm his fellow citizens with a means to defend themselves from the now admitted duplicity of our government. In the past this writer has advised his readers to <a href="http://www.chesscorner.com/tutorial/learn.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">learn to play chess</a>, learn Natural Law, read John Locke's <a href="http://bit.ly/1lW4cbB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Two Treatises of Civil Government</a>, learn about the <a href="http://shar.es/zh9ig" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">history, philosophy and foundational beliefs of Progressivism</a>, and the need to make government officials put their responses in writing. You may also find it useful to learn about "<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/engineering-consent">Engineering Consent</a>" And this writer has asserted to his readers that their are not two political parties, but rather one Tyrant Class pretending to be two political parties using issues to divide and conquer the masses. Issues and spectacles are also used by this Tyrant Class to distract us while they rob us blind. If you come to appreciate the insights and thought processes this article brings to light, this writer will remind you a major portion of this article are made possible and inspired by the perspectives he has thus acquired through those activities.</p>
<p>With those two paragraphs of prologue segue out out of the way, lets dive into the task at hand. Unfortunately, when a writer is exposing a false perception of reality held by a large group of people, it takes many more words than just writing within the parameters of the false perspective of reality. The brevity that buzzwords, sound bites and common perceptions of the false perception of reality are not as available to this writer in attempting to inform his reader of a "truer" perspective of reality. But to summarize where this writer's "truer" perspective of reality is heading, we will begin with this quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal</em>."</p>
<p>Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To begin allowing you the opportunity to consider a different, truer perspective of reality, this writer asks you to consider these historical facts as the more correct foundation of your perception of reality. These are things that should have been taught to you in your public school education, but our Progressive government has decided depriving you of this information is necessary for them to promote their agenda. There are five foundational elements this writer wishes you to understand and incorporate into the foundation of your perspective of reality(if you agree with them).</p>
<p>The first foundational plank is that our Country was founded on Natural Law. You can read more about that in this article: "<a href="http://t.co/rZswNupbeO" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Proof our Country was founded on Natural Law</a>."</p>
<p>The second foundational plank involves the Establishment of Truth. "Natural Law" aka "Consent of the Governed" (1650 - circa 2000) provides for the individual to establish truth for themselves using...</p>

<p></p>
<p>For the past several years, this writer has been trying to make sense out of what is going on in America. To this writer's mind, the events and political discourse simply do not seem rational nor logical. This writer has spent a lot of time researching Natural Law(<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/proof-our-country-and-the-us-constitution-is-founded-upon-natural-law">upon which our country is founded</a>). This writer has also spent extensive time researching and understanding the Governance Doctrines of the Divine Right of Kings and Consent of the Governed(derived from Natural Law's Social Contract). And finally this writer researched and explored the <a href="http://shar.es/zh9ig" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Progressive Movement</a>. Yet somehow, this writer was frustrated in understanding the disconnect between what he was taught about our government in Public Schools and the reality of our alleged Democratic Process.</p>
<p>Engineering Consent appears to be the missing piece of the puzzle. The featured video for this article (at bottom) rather laboriously explains the premise and concept of "Engineering Consent". But, in deference to shortage of time we all suffer from, this writer will attempt to succinctly explain the evil that is "Engineering Consent". (As this writer will often refer to the concept of "Engineering Consent" in his future writings, the writer urges the reader to learn and understand this concept so they may understand his future writings and the threat "Engineering Consent" represents to "free will, liberty and the Democratic Process.) Most importantly, this writer believes that this knowledge of "Engineering Consent" will help you better understand what is going on in America and give you the tools to resist being engineered by your government to give your consent to things which are detrimental to your own personal best interest. You can see a slightly different but corroborating perspective on Engineering Consent in these videos:</p>

</ol>
<p>The short version of Engineering Consent begins with some portion of the population believing they are smarter and more rational than the masses. These people who think and/or say they know better than the masses often refer to themselves as the Educated Elites. From this premise of alleged superiority, Educated Elites assert the conclusion that they have the right and duty to engineer the consent of the masses. That is to say, because Educated Elites assert that the masses are too stupid and irrational to know what best for them, Educated Elites assert they have the right and duty to manipulate the masses to accept whatever policy the Educated Elites deem to be in the best interests of the society.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.</em></p>
<p>Johanne Von Goethe</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Educated Elites believe they can Engineer Consent in a variety of ways, among them <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/indoctrination" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Indoctrination</a>, <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/education" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Education</a>, Conditioning and by exploiting base instinct and emotion(<a href="http://youtu.be/qiKMmrG1ZKU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Edward Bernays</a>) by creating Stress/Social Turmoil. Through these methods, Educated Elites believe they can remove from the masses the culture of "Rugged Individualism", "Competition", "Distrust of Government", "Limited Government", and "the Establishment of Truth by the individual using their own observations and reasoning". All of these being attributes that derive from Natural Law, Consent of the Governed and the Founding of our Country.</p>
<p align="center"><strong><u>ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUTH BY THE KING</u></strong></p>
<p>Before we talk further about Indoctrination, Education, Conditioning and exploiting base instinct and emotion(<a href="http://youtu.be/qiKMmrG1ZKU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Edward Bernays</a>) by creating Stress/Social Turmoil, lets briefly revisit the history of Establishing Truth in the Western World. Establishment of Truth refers to how a society determines truth from falsehood and forms its “Perspective of Reality”. Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476AD, the Governance Doctrine known as the Divine Right of Kings came to dominate the governments of the Western World. Divine Right of Kings asserted that the King/Queeen was a God or an emissary of God here on earth, and therefore no earthly-being could question his(her) authority or decisions. Under Divine Right of Kings, Truth was established by the King/Queen, often by simple declaration.(Think “World is flat” and “Earth center of Universe) And the King’s Established Truth was enforced through various social and economic sanctions and/or physical punishment(e.g. Home arrest of Galileo). The Divine Right of Kings Governance Doctrine prevailed in the Western World until near the end of the Enlightenment 1650AD-1800AD. (For the remainder of this article, the writer will refer to the supreme royal person as King, regardless of gender.)</p>

It became apparent to this writer that the Main Stream Media was trying to use this event to discredit a candidate for Minnesota <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/supreme-court" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Supreme Court</a> <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/justice" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Justice</a>. The Main Stream Media would have rank and file Minnesotans believe that this particular Republican Party Endorsed candidate for the Minnesota Supreme Court was being banned from the Republican Booth for legitimate reasons. And the police were called. Later that night, this writer got an email from a supporter of this candidate, dejectedly asking, "Can this really be happening?" And now, this writer is going to tell you the rest of the story.</p>
<p>Rank and file Americans across this country have been talking about taking back the country and restoring the Constitution. At the same time, conservatives across the country have been talking about the need to "take back the Republican Party". For the most part it has been nice rhetoric, but it hasn't happened. We first saw this "war" begin when the National GOP leaders like Progressive RINO House Speaker John Boehner and Progressive RINO Senator Mitch McConnell disrespected the TEA Party last year. Senator McConnell went on further in his own campaign to say the GOP would "crush the TEA Party everywhere".</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://joemiller.us/2014/03/going-crush-everywhere-care-guess-whos-behind-prediction-tea-party-midterm-elections/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">McConnell Wants No Nominees From #TeaParty: #GOP #Establishment “Going to Crush Them Everywhere”</a></li>
</ul>
<p>With the Progressive RINO Republican establishment pulling out all the stops in Mississippi to make sure a TEA Party upstart didn't win the primary, we know taking back the Republican Party in any state, let alone nationally, is going to be a hard, messy and ugly mission.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/chris-mcdaniel-vows-fight-after-thad-cochrans-comeback-win-n140031" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chris McDaniel Vows Fight After Thad Cochran's Comeback Win</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The irony is that everything TEA Party wants and stands for is already in GOP Platform. The GOP platform is the collaborative compilation of the rank and file membership. Ergo, the Progressive RINO Leadership of the National GOP really is at war with all rank and file Republicans, not just the subset known as the TEA Party.</p>
<p>Conservative Politics in Minnesota mirrors, to a large degree, the rift across the country between the rank and file Republican membership and the Republican Establishment. The Republican Establishment wants to follow a Progressive Agenda, while rank and file conservatives want the Republican Establishment to adhere to the Republican Platform.</p>
<p>Fellow Minnesotans, long before the rift between the Republican Establishment and rank and file conservatives appeared on the national stage last year, it was painfully obvious here in Minnesota. And this internal war raging in MNGOP has raged at least since 2005. Long before others.....</p>

This writer believes it is far more useful to illuminate the masses, especially those who presume "activism" to mean advancement of the Liberal Agenda. This illumination will occur by exposing the true nature of Progressive US AG Eric Holder and Progressive President Barrack Obama activism.</p>
<p>In the past few days, several articles regarding the large civil settlements with the “Too Big To Fail” banks have been published. Yet, before we begin our analysis of the treatment of banksters, let us establish some criteria that will be helpful in making our analysis. Those criteria come in the form of common viewpoints that mutually ground rank and file Americans (aka "average", "the masses", "WE THE PEOPLE") to each other.</p>
<p>Perhaps most relevant to our analysis is the average American's belief that unjust enrichment (theft of value produced only by labor), by anyone at the expense of another, is a violation of Natural Law and the Rule of Law. Simply, regardless of political stripe, most rank and file Americans regard such thefts as a crime that must be punished.</p>
<blockquote>"Truth knows no agenda nor loyalty to political party"<p>Don Mashak on <a href="http://twitter.com/dmashak" target="_blank">Twitter @DMashak</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p><br/> Further, most of us rank and file Americans consider it a personal embarrassment to let ourselves to be duped, played or fooled in areas of our personal affairs ranging from buying a car to more obscure social slights.</p>
<blockquote>"It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled"<p>Mark Twain</p>
</blockquote>
<p><br/> With those unifying beliefs established, let us talk a little about this writer's perceptions of the two major political parties. In this writer's assessment, the two main political parties in American deliberately and purposely paint two different "perspectives of reality" to their respective memberships. (Rank and file as used here meaning the respective membership of each political party that are not in the leadership, acting as political operatives and/or not selling their votes for salaries, corporate or personal government handouts and/or other forms of consideration)</p>
<p>This writer asserts that the leadership of the two major political parties indoctrinate their rank and files members with dogma creating these two different perspectives of reality for untoward purposes. This untoward purpose being to divide, conquer and distract the masses of America. By creating these widely disparate perceptions of reality, our government succeeds in preventing WE THE PEOPLE from unifying and holding our government, and government officials, accountable. Further, by pitting the rank and file of each party against each other, our Government succeeds in distracting WE THE PEOPLE from the various wrong-doings of our government's various officials and from holding them accountable for these wrong-doings.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/how-the-us-ruling-class-elite-beat-the-bell-curve" target="_blank">How the US Ruling Class Elite beat the bell curve</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> For the present matter at hand, there is a particular aspect of the perspectives of reality painted by Democrat and Republican leadership that is most relevant. This writer's observes that the Democrat Party Leadership's dogma and indoctrination of its rank and file members asserts:</p>
<ol start="1">
<li>That all Republicans are rich and have built their wealth through the theft of value (produced only by the labor of the masses) from the masses (unjust enrichment).</li>
<li>The Democrat Party is the defender and benefactor of the Americans who are not rich.</li>
<li>That the Republican Party is corrupt, gives preferential treatment to big business and fails to harshly punish the crimes committed by big business.</li>
<li>Rich Republicans, having acquired their wealth unjustly, must have some of their wealth taken from them and redistributed to the less fortunate.</li>
<li>Big Business must be vigorously regulated and severely punished when it is found committing crimes.</li>
<li>From the foregoing, it follows that anyone who is not rich must vote for Democrats to protect themselves from the rich Republicans.</li>
</ol>
<p><br/> The relevant aspect of Republican Dogma used in indoctrinating its rank and file membership into a different perspective of reality asserts:</p>
<ol start="1">
<li>The Democrat Party is the Party of unjust wealth redistribution which is unfair and reduces American productivity.</li>
<li>The Republican Party is the defender of individual liberty, property rights, the Constitution, Natural Rights, the Bill of Rights and tradition.</li>
<li>The Republican Party stands for law and order pursuant to the Rule of Law (1 set of laws for all citizens regardless of position, wealth or societal rank.)</li>
<li>What is good for business is good for all Americans - A rising tide lifts all boats.</li>
<li>Wealth is the reward for undertaking the risk of engaging in free markets.</li>
<li>Persons who believe in individualism, freedom and free markets should vote Republican</li>
</ol>
<p><br/> (If this writer has materially misstated either Democrat or Republican Dogma, the reader is welcome to point this out to this writer on <a href="http://twitter.com/dmashak" target="_blank">Twitter @DMashak</a>)</p>
<p>And with the foregoing boilerplate in place, the analysis of the differences in the treatment of Bankers by the two major parties proceeds very quickly.</p>
<p>Democrat dogma proclaims that Republicans let big business get away with massive unjust enrichment and crimes. And, that in the process rank and file America is victimized. And it is only the Democratic Party that is the protector of the American masses. But it is here the dogma of both major political parties begins to unravel.</p>
<p>Regardless of political stripe, we rank and file Americans believe crime should be punished pursuant to the Rule of Law. That means criminal prosecutions to not only punish but to deter future and repeat crimes. The reasonable expectation is that the Democrat Leadership would error on the side of criminal prosecutions in championing the best interests of its rank and file membership.</p>
<p>However, for all of the Democrats saying they are the champion of masses, Democrat President Barrack Obama and Democrat US Attorney General Eric Holder have been letting the rich banksters off with no criminal prosecutions. Instead, Progressive President Barrack Obama and Progressive activist US AG Eric Holder (head of the Department of Justice) have decided to give these bankers "wrist slaps" with civil penalties. This writer asserts these three points:</p>
<ol start="1">
<li>Civil Penalties are a far less deterrent and punishment than criminal prosecution and jail terms.</li>
<li>Civil Penalties do not cause bankers to shut down other criminal activities that were not discovered.</li>
<li>Civil Penalties amount to the Government just demanding its cut of the booty stolen from the masses (similar to how a Mob Boss wants a cut of the profits from crimes committed on their turf).</li>
</ol>
<p><br/> Here is a list of examples of civil, instead of criminal penalties being exacted against banks in America, under Progressive President Barrack Obama's Administration and Progressive US AG Eric Holder's Department of Justice:</p>

</ul>
<p><br/> From this list it appears that not only these banks too big to fail, they are so big that the banksters that run them are too big to jail. Or are there other forces at work in this equation. What is going on behind the scenes that is not being reported?</p>
<p>This writer has had his own experience with a Too Big To Fail bank now known as Wells Fargo Bank, NA 20+ years ago. Unlike like the foregoing summary articles, in the following two articles you can learn about the witness tampering, death threats and evidence destruction that goes on behind the scenes as Progressive Government Officials conspire with Too Big To Fail banksters in the process of covering up the criminal activities of these criminal banks:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/another-scam-the-minnesota-perverse-meritocracy-part-1-of-2" target="_blank">Another Scam in the Minnesota perverse Meritocracy. Part 1 of 2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/another-scam-the-minnesota-perverse-meritocracy-part-2-of-2" target="_blank">Another Scam in the Minnesota perverse Meritocracy. Part 2 of 2</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> One can only speculate about what witnesses were threatened and evidence destroyed in the more recent Too Big to Jail Bank cases. And, what advice, collusion, campaign contributions, bribes and or other consideration involving Government officials who are supposed to represent WE THE PEOPLE also remain in the realm of speculation.</p>
<p>Which causes off of us to ponder, exactly who is supposed to be making sure the victims of these unjust enrichment crimes are being made whole? Even when the civil settlement funds are distributed, there is great question as to whether the real victims of the crime are ever made whole. As is pointed out in the first example, a great portion of these settlement funds go to government agencies who have a very for track record for making sure the funds get distributed to the actual victims. Doesn't our common expectation expect the actual victims of the crime to be made whole?</p>
<p>Still, perhaps the most overlooked part of these folks in all these criminal bank scandals not being charged criminally, is they never acquire a criminal record with most often prevents them from being bank officers and victimizing the public in the future. In one case, the civil penalty included a requirement that one banker not serve on any bank board for 3 years. It’s this simple, criminal prosecution protects all rank and file Americans by preventing these bankers from being in the position to repeat the crime. First, if they are in prison their opportunities for repeating the crime are greatly limited while doing time. And second, as we have said criminal convictions most often preclude these convicted bankster's of later again securing a position to allow them to perpetrate and/or aid and abet in the perpetration of a same or similar crime again. (There are numerous allegations floating that "not being charged criminally" is most often a matter of making the write campaign contribution, bribe and/or other consideration to the right person.)</p>
<p>Still further, it is not as though this "unjust enrichment" these banksters and our government were complicit in was some minor market correction. These criminals diminished and/or destroyed the lives of almost all rank and file Americans from 2007 to present 2014. (And there is no end of misery in sight.)</p>
<p>Between 2007-2012 a wealth transfer of $24 Trillion to $45.1 Trillion (depending on whose numbers you believe) occurred in American.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/congressional-insider-trading-rocks-puppies-and-ostriches" target="_blank">Congressional Insider Trading – Rocks, Puppies and Ostriches</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> It is no mystery to this writer why the American economy is not recovering. This entire $24 Trillion to $45.1 Trillion wealth transfer went from persons who did not have insider knowledge of what was transpiring (rank and file Americans) to our elected officials and their friends. Rank and file Americans spend the money they have in order to live. Our elected officials and their friends can only have so many cars, boats, houses and trysting partners; their portion of this booty ends up savings and investments that do not stimulate the economy.</p>
<p>And record numbers of adult Americans don't have and/or have given up on finding jobs:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-10/people-not-labor-force-soar-record-918-million-participation-rate-plunges-1978-level" target="_blank">People Not In Labor Force Soar To Record 91.8 Million; Participation Rate Plunges To 1978 Levels</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> With the magnitude of the damage these banksters and their complicit government officials inflicted on the masses, this writer asserts that criminal sentences should be the rule rather than the exception and that the amount of the civil penalty should be the amount necessary to make the victims completely whole, not some arbitrary number negotiated (wink, wink - nudge, nudge) in smokey back rooms or in erased emails.</p>
<p>This writer asserts that the sheer magnitude of the damage inflicted on rank and file Americans should move the rank and file members of both major political parties to question the duplicity of their respective party leaders.</p>
<p>Where is the law and order pursuant to the Rule of Law and protection of property Rights espoused by the Republican Party Leadership? Oh, sure. The GOP excuse is that the Democrats have control of the executive branch. And, by extension, the Department of Justice, via President Barrack Obama and US AG Eric Holder. And in that the DOJ has control of the handling of these cases; the Republican Leadership passes the buck on the responsibility for these banksters not being charged criminally onto the Democrat Leadership.</p>
<p>With all these facts on the table, any critically thinking rank and file Democrat must acknowledge that they have been duped, played and/or fooled by Democrat Party. The Democrat Party tricked you into believing that Democrats were the champions of rank and file Americans, and their failure to prosecute these banksters evidences that is not the truth. From the examples of civil settlements this writer has provided, there can be no doubt that the Democrat Leadership coddled the bankster's, exactly as they have accused the Republican Party of doing.</p>
<p>While President Barrack Obama and the Democrats were giving you Obamacare with one hand, they were busy divvying up the $24 Trillion to $45.1 Trillion in booty stolen from the masses between 2007 and 2012 with the bankers, in exchange for letting the banksters get off with no criminal charges, etc., etc. Being truthful with yourselves, "How do you rank and file Democrats feel about that?"</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-uwGvx4V_A" target="_blank">Learn to play Chess, so you can think a few moves ahead. Your government is!</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> Now let’s do some more chess move analysis. How is it possible that even though the logic and substance of both major Party Platforms and Dogma require the victims of crime to be made whole, the banksters were not charged with a crime and the victims were not made whole?</p>
<p>And, lest the Democrats think this independent conservative is unfairly holding them out for criticism, let’s visit some Republican examples of departure from Republican Platform and Dogma. Does anyone remember Speaker Boehner, Senator McConnell and the Republican Leadership attacking the TEA Party though everything the TEA Party wants is already in the Republican Platform? Further, this writer personally attest to experiencing blow back and retaliation for bringing forward resolutions on Judicial Reform and Fiscal Transparency as a delegate, even though these resolutions were clearly consistent with the Platform and Dogma of the Republican Party and popular with the rank and file membership as evidence by passing successive votes before the resolutions were mysteriously "lost" by the GOP Leadership.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://video.foxnews.com/v/2762043958001/peter-schweizer-unveils-extortion/?playlist_id=2114913880001" target="_blank">Extortion</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> Using more Chess logic, there seems to be a parallel between the workings of both the Democrat and Republican Party. Clearly, platforms of each party reflect the will of the rank and file membership as they are created by the rank and file membership of both parties. Yet the leadership of both major political parties no longer feels obligated to follow their respective party platform.</p>
<p>This writer alleges that a group known as Progressives has taken over the leadership of both major political parties. First, they openly took control of the Democrat Party leadership. And more recently they have taken control of the Republican Party leadership. RINO is GOP Politically correct for Progressive Republican. (My regular readers and my followers on <a href="http://twitter.com/dmashak" target="_blank">Twitter @DMashak</a> already know this writer regularly labels and attacks the current Republican Leadership for being Progressive.)</p>
<p>Progressives believe that folks known as Educated Elites should run government. Progressives believe these Educated Elites should be free to make decisions without being accountable to the masses as they are smarter than the masses. Progressives resent the restrictions of our current Jeffersonian Constitution and want to replace it with one of their own design. Finally, if you dig deeper into the history, foundations and philosophy of Progressivism, you will find that Educated Elites are to be selected from the wealthy, leisure class. In other words, the very persons Democrat Dogma blames for the injustices to the masses are the persons Progressivism prescribes the Educated Elites be selected from among and allowed to run the government with even less accountability to the masses.</p>
<p>You can learn more about the Progressives by reading my previous articles on them:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shar.es/zh9ig" target="_blank">Is Progressive PC for the Divine Right of Kings?</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/is-progressive-pc-for-the-divine-right-of-kings-part-2-of-3" target="_blank">Is Progressive PC for the Divine Right of Kings? 2/3</a></li>

</ul>
<p><br/> But now to drive the point home;</p>
<p>"The Leadership of both parties ignoring the respective platform of each party is just the implementation of the Progressive belief that the Educated Elites know better than the ignorant masses and, therefore, don't have to listen to or be accountable to the masses."</p>
<p>Don Mashak</p>
<p>The control of the leadership of both major political parties by these arrogant, tyrannical Progressives has led this writer to frequently say and/or Tweet:</p>
<p>There are not two major political parties. There is one and only one tyrant class pretending to be two parties. They use issues to divide, conquer and distract WE THE PEOPLE.</p>
<p>Don Mashak on <a href="http://twitter.com/dmashak" target="_blank">Twitter @DMashak</a></p>
<p>With <strong>the leadership of both major political parties now controlled by the Progressives</strong>, we can deduce two facts:</p>
<ol start="1">
<li>As well as ignoring the will of rank and file Americans as expressed in the respective party platforms, Progressives have also determined they are not bound by the ethos and morality of rank and file party members. (Actions speak louder than words)</li>
<li>Progressives are the folks who decided that $24 Trillion to $45.1 Trillion could be stolen from the American Public from 2007-2012 and no banksters would go to jail.</li>
<li>Being led by Progressive leaders who will not abide by the will or morality of rank and file Americans is an unacceptable state of affairs.</li>
</ol>
<p><br/> And, this unacceptable state of affairs allows requires us to contemplate and anticipate some future political chess moves to resolve this unacceptable state of affairs. This writer suggests the following as the best courses of action to be considered:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rank and file members of each party need to start identifying and voting out all Progressives.</li>
<li>Center-left and Center-right Americans should consider forming a third alternative party together.</li>
<li>Perhaps we need to craft a Declaration of Causes similar to the one the Founder's drafted 7/6/1775 and give our government a one year deadline to comply. <a href="http://www.historycentral.com/documents/Causes.html" target="_blank">Historic Info>1775 Declaration of Causes - Knowledge is Power</a></li>
</ul>
<p><br/> In this writer's humble opinion no simple, status quo election will fix the problems WE THE PEOPLE face. I can say it no plainer.</p>
<blockquote>"Evil is not neutral, and there can be no neutrality exercised toward it. Anyone who is not against it is perforce in favor of it."<p>Haaretz</p>
</blockquote>
<p><br/> So what do you think of Progressive US Attorney General Eric Holder’s Activism now?</p>
<p>Those were my thoughts.</p>
<p>In Closing:</p>
<p>Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.</p>
<p>If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same “livestock management” techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.</p>
<p>And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.</p>

<blockquote><p style="margin-left: .5in;">“Facebook offered up an apology to its users on Sunday, after it came to light that the company had <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinkers-with-users-emotions-in-news-feed-experiment-stirring-outcry.html?_r=0">manipulated the news feeds of more than half a million people</a> so it could change the number of positive and negative posts that appear from their friends. Facebook’s in-house data science team carried out the project, it said, as a way to examine the “emotional impact of Facebook” on its users. Along with two university researchers, the team published the results of the study in an academic journal.”</p>
<p style="margin-left: .5in;">“Google, too, <a href="http://macography.net/the-list-of-google-apologies-google-apologizes/">is familiar</a> with issuing its own apologies, not the least of which includes an admission of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/15/business/15google.html">inadvertently grabbing personal user information</a> from unlocked wireless networks.”</p>

<p>This writer can only describe this activity of Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook as creepy, Orwellian and terrifying. And yet, as this more recent article reports, this appears to be just the tip of the “creepy” Progressive Eugenics iceberg:</p>

</ul>
<p>Yet this is not the only way Facebook, Google and the Main Stream Media (MSM) are complicit in advancing the Progressive Agenda. To being with, one must remember that Progressive Philosophy specifically maintains that Educated Elites have superior knowledge to the alleged ignorant masses and should be free to act because of their superior knowledge. However, in America they run smack into long standing traditions of individualism and the Democratic Process. And so the Progressives have to dance around this alleged intellectual superiority of the Educated Elites.</p>
<blockquote><p style="margin-left: .5in;"><em><u>The real mass media are basically trying to divert people. Let them do something else, but don’t bother us (us being the people who run the show).</u> Let them get interested in professional sports, for example. Let everybody be crazed about professional sports or sex scandals or the personalities and their problems or something like that. Anything, as long as it isn’t serious. <u>Of course, the serious stuff is for the big guys. "We" take care of that.</u></em></p>

<p>Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, also called for controlling the flow of information to the masses. Level 6 of his 8 <a href="http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/b0/db/b0dbc515171fa31726d7571ae9a1a08b.JPG?itok=c_PmWig1" target="_blank">Leverls of Control to transform a Society to Socialism</a> calls for:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>5) EDUCATION: Take control of what people read and listen to, take control of what children learn in school.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yet, news is not a priority to most Americans. Each of us rank and file Americans is preoccupied with our lives and a job that we need to sustain our life style. And therefore, we must prioritize activities with what is left of our limited free time. </p>
<blockquote><p style="margin-left: .5in;"><em>“It is also in the interests of the tyrant to make his subjects poor... the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting.”</em></p>
<p style="margin-left: .5in;">Aristotle</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As a result, for the vast majority of us, only the news that is easiest to find and/or stumble upon, is the information we receive. And, as we have seen, our government and MSM uses their control of the information WE THE PEOPLE, to our detriment:</p>
<p>To make matters worse, the Progressive President Barack Obama Administration began pressing for even tighter control of the flow of information to the Public in 2012 and earlier this year:</p>

</ul>
<p>From these three sources and this writer’s two recent articles that immediately follow, this writer asserts as fact that our government is trying to control the information the masses recieve:</p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/is-progressive-common-core-simply-pure-evil" target="_blank">Is Progressive Common Core simply pure evil?</a></li>

</ul>
<p>Before the Internet became well established, the elite MSM had pretty much perfected control of the flow of information to the masses.</p>
<blockquote><p style="margin-left: .5in;"><em>The elite media set a framework within which others operate. If you are watching the Associated Press, who grind out a constant flow of news, in the mid-afternoon it breaks and there is something that comes along every day that says "Notice to Editors: Tomorrow’s New York Times is going to have the following stories on the front page." The point of that is, if you’re an editor of a newspaper in Dayton, Ohio and you don’t have the resources to figure out what the news is, or you don’t want to think about it anyway, this tells you what the news is. These are the stories for the quarter page that you are going to devote to something other than local affairs or diverting your audience. These are the stories that you put there because that’s what the New York Times tells us is what you’re supposed to care about tomorrow. If you are an editor in Dayton, Ohio, you would sort of have to do that, because you don’t have much else in the way of resources. If you get off line, if you’re producing stories that the big press doesn’t like, you’ll hear about it pretty soon. In fact, what just happened at San Jose Mercury News is a dramatic example of this. So there are a lot of ways in which power plays can drive you right back into line if you move out. If you try to break the mold, you’re not going to last long. That framework works pretty well, and it is understandable that it is just a reflection of obvious power structures.</em></p>

<p></p>
<p>The net effect of this framework is that the elite at the top of the news and information pyramid control the flow of information to WE THE PEOPLE. In current parlance, the Elite MSM "Spammed" America's news distribution network. As a result, those of you with.....</p>

<p>In Closing:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same “livestock management” techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.</p>

<p>A few days ago this writer went to his first <a href="http://commoncoremn.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Minnesotans Against Common Core</a> meeting in Becker Minnesota. This writer was not surprised to hear various concerns the speakers mentioned during the course of this<br/> meeting.</p>
<ul>
<li>Establishing Child Career Pathways beginning in Second Grade;</li>
<li>Recording of "Biometrics" of Children in data bases for future Government use;</li>
<li>Dumbing Down of the masses;</li>
<li>Indoctrination children to make them more compliant to authority;</li>
<li>Conditioning Individuality out of Children;</li>
<li>Extending the Length of the <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/school">School</a> Year.</li>
</ul>
<p>Understandably, the parents in the audience were upset, agitated and angry over children having their career paths set for them in second grade by teachers (Progressives would classify teachers among the educated elite.) And the loss of privacy in teacher's recording things like their children's hair color, stressers, aptitudes, food consumption, exercise habits as well as things like their mother's maiden names, family recycling habits and the like, permanently on government computers just seems creepy. And there was general concern over the Dumbing Down of America and the conditioning of individuality out of children amongst the crowd. (Progressivism has much in common with Marxism, and in other writings this writer has even said, "Progressivism is Marxism 2.0 because anything called Marxism 1.0 could not be sold to freedom loving Americans")</p>
<p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XWaX1CN8NfI/U7NI3Fhm2PI/AAAAAAAAEdY/T7UGqTWvBjA/s1600/CommonCore1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XWaX1CN8NfI/U7NI3Fhm2PI/AAAAAAAAEdY/T7UGqTWvBjA/s1600/CommonCore1.jpg" border="0" height="291" width="320"/></a></p>
<p>However, while this writer was mortified at the ramifications of these <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/progressive">Progressive</a> <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/common-core">Common Core</a><br/> practices and goals, most in the audience saw Common Core as merely an unwelcome change in education that they intended to resist as parents. In this writer's humble opinion, the presenters failed to add a dimension to this conversation that needs to be addressed. This writer believes that when this aspect is exposed it will bring about the sense of urgency and action necessary from the resultant absolute fear and foreboding it will instill in those who fully understand the threat upon all of WE THE PEOPLE.<br/>
<br/>
Simply, Common Core is not a stand alone agenda item brought by well intended educators working independently to improve education for the good of America's Children.<br/>
<br/>
Common Core is just one aspect of the entire Progressive Agenda. A Progressive Agenda that identifies Individualism, Creativity, Competition and Free Markets as the root cause the exploitation of the masses and main source of conflict amongst WE THE PEOPLE in America. In fact, Progresses refers to anyone adhering to these fundamental planks of Americanism as "being contaminated with these evil institutions".</p>
<p><br/> Further, the Progressive Agenda finds our current Constitution too constraining. And, Progressive philosophy asserts that Educated Elites should be free to implement policy without answering to WE THE PEOPLE, because the Educated Elites "know better" than the masses.</p>

<p><br/> Perhaps a brief history of Governance Doctrines in the Western World is the easiest and best way to highlight they imminent tyranny upon us. Our Founder's revolted and died, casting off the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings circa 1776. A short overview of the Divine Right of Kings, which arose after the fall of the Western Roman Empire 476AD, follows:</p>
<blockquote>The King is a God or a representative of God here on earth and, therefore, no earthy can question the Kings decisions and/or authority. Subjects of the King have no rights only permissions and privileges. All Land belongs to the King. Any thing you do and/or land<br/> you are upon is only by the consent of the King. Under the Divine Right of Kings, all Truth was established by the King and the Church(Think "World is flat" & "Earth is center of universe".)</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LHpbz0IexoM/U7NHzD1Cw0I/AAAAAAAAEdA/A5rucXJyQ2I/s1600/CommonCore3.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LHpbz0IexoM/U7NHzD1Cw0I/AAAAAAAAEdA/A5rucXJyQ2I/s1600/CommonCore3.jpg" border="0" height="149" width="200"/></a>During The Enlightenment (1650-1800AD), <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/natural-law">Natural Law</a> and Consent of the Governed were reduced to writing by the "Men of Letters"(Scholars). And during this Enlightenment, people began to question by what authority the King was the King.<br/> <br/>
Our Founder's were inspired by Natural Law and Consent of the<br/>
Governed, and our Country is founded upon them.(Proof our Country was founded on Natural Law and Consent of the governed can be found by clicking <a href="http://t.co/rZswNupbeO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> )</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zsckaH6-7Ds/U7NHtirMKKI/AAAAAAAAEc4/gMPT_BA_wWg/s1600/CommonCore2.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zsckaH6-7Ds/U7NHtirMKKI/AAAAAAAAEc4/gMPT_BA_wWg/s1600/CommonCore2.jpg" border="0" height="320" width="320"/></a></div>
<p>What follows is this writer's extremely short syntheses of Natural Law and Consent of the Governed derived from various sources, including<br/> John Locke's Two Treatises of Civil Government.<br/>
Briefly summarizing Locke on Natural Law and Consent of the Governed:</p>
<ul>
<li>all men are endowed with certain rights among these are life, liberty and property (Jefferson used "certain unalienable rights, among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in Declaration of<br/> Independence);</li>
<li>governments are instituted among men to secure these rights;</li>
<li>government is legitimate only so long as it continues to enjoy the consent of the governed;</li>
<li>When government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right, it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish it and institute new government.</li>
</ul>
<p>For our purposes, this writer reduces the purpose of Government under Natural Law and Consent of the Governed to this oft posted Tweet:</p>
<blockquote>"Purpose of government is to give each of us more liberty than we would have in the chaos of pre-government state; not to force us to serve government or corporations."<br/> <br/>
Don Mashak via <a href="https://twitter.com/DMashak" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter @DMashak</a></blockquote>
<p>The far greater liberty and freedom the individual enjoys under our government constructed pursuant to Natural Law, Consent of the Governed and our Constitution is perhaps best expressed as follows in these two quotes:</p>
<blockquote>I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it "in no way interferes with any other men's rights."<br/> <br/>
Abraham Lincoln</blockquote>
<blockquote>"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences."<br/> <br/>
P.J. O'Rourke</blockquote>
<p>This writer has more fully described our Founder's revolt against the Divine Right of Kings and the implementation of Natural Law and Consent of the Governed here in this two part article:</p>

Quite simply, Common Core is but one aspect of the overall Progressive scheme to return the United States to essentially a governance style of the Divine Right of Kings.<br/>
<br/>
However, instead of Kings who have their authority via some relationship with religion, under Progressive ideology Educated Elites will have unquestioned ruling authority by virtue of their alleged superior education. (With further ironic duplicity, Progressivism calls for Educated Elites to be selected from among the wealthy, leisure class<br/>
- the modern aristocracy if you will). The concept of permissions and privileges is replaced with...<br/>

local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training<br/>
junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same “livestock management” techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.<br/>
<br/>
And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.<br/>

<p>For many years now, any time any location in the world experienced more than a few days of above 90F weather, the Meteorologists would ring their hands in worry. "Further proof of <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/global-warming">Global Warming</a>?", they would eventually posit. And the Main Stream Media would dutifully chant the global warming propaganda.<br/> <br/>
Yet, this writer has been often perplexed when the Meteorologists and Main Stream Media don't report that perhaps Global Warming isn't occurring when we experience colder weather below normal.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/25606084/twin-cities-hits-its-first-80#ixzz32l7TAC6G" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twin Cities hits 80 degrees, 236 days later (May 24, 2014)</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Lets think about that for a moment. For only 4 months of the past year, were temperatures in the <a class="inline_link omniture-click-processed" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/minnesota">Minnesota</a> Twin Cities region above 80F. The 2013 Spring in Minnesota was very late. The 2013-2014 winter was particularly harsh. And the 2014 Spring is running about 5-7 weeks late when we divine the blossoming of the dandelion and the build up of the greatly reduced honeybee population.<br/> Yet, to the best of his knowledge, again no Main Stream Media has ran a story indicating that this recent bout of colder than usual weather tends to disprove the existence of Global Warming.<br/>
Regular readers recall this writer has written previously about the Global Warming aka Climate Change hoax. The latest iteration of this writer's article follows here:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/global-warming-common-sense-vs-progressive-educated-elites">GLOBALWARMING: Common Sense vs Educated Elites</a></li>
</ul>
<p>And, therefore, to avoid appearing hypocritical, this writer has written this article and proclaims that this near 8 month absence of of temperatures about 80F in the Minnesota Twin Cities area further disproves the bogus Global Warming Scam.<br/> <br/>
But this writer would suggest to you that this one sided Global Warming Mantra of US Main Stream Media is something more sinister, rather than something simply quizzical.</p>

<div align="center"><b><u>GLOBAL WARMING AS CASE STUDY IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUTH IN THE US</u></b></div>
<p><br/> This writer asserts to you that this repetition of facts only favorable to the theory of Global Warming is a psychological tactic. The psychological tactic being to give you only information that supports the "truth" your government wants you to arrive at.<br/>
<br/>
Those of you who have read some of my earlier articles regarding Natural Law, Divine Right of Kings, Marxism and Progressivism know something of how Truth is established in pursuant to these various metaphysical/Government models.<br/>

Under the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings, Truth was established by...<br/>
