Authorities Intercept & Confiscate Israel's Shipment Of Illegal Military Equipment On
Added by guest_blog at 10:16am on February 22, 2014
not participate in journalism of appeasement, this article and headline will definitely not be picked up by the appeasers. The unfortunate truth that they don’t want to acknowledge is that Barack “Banana Republic Bankster Puppet” Obama has bowed to his masters yet again.
For the people still delusional enough to believe anything that the psychological operation known as Barack Obama says, this will just be more facts for you to ignore. So turn away now and go watch some “reality” TV - the economy is recovering, tax cuts for multi-millionaires will help everyone, exporting jobs to South Korea will be great for the middle class, the oil in the Gulf of Mexico is 75% cleaned up, seafood from there is perfectly healthy, health insurance rates are declining, the “situation” in Afghanistan is improving, non-combat troops are leaving Iraq, your civil liberties are just fine and a unicorn will soon give you a magical ride over the rainbow. Just click your heels together and the American dream will continue, after this message from our sponsors: (Ironically there's suppose to be a JP Morgan ad here, but it wont work properly)
If, on the other hand, you live in the real world, Obama’s latest cabinet appointments are yet another blatant sign that he is absolutely committed to destroying what is left of the middle class. Obama is doubling down on the side of the financial terrorists. Enter Bill Daley and Gene Sperling - a JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs one-two punch to send battered and bruised Americans to the canvas for a final ten-count.
The announcement of Bill Daley, JP Morgan Chase’s czar of “government affairs” (lobbying), as Obama’s new Chief of Staff may sound bad on the surface, but if you dig into Daley’s background, it gets, as George W would say, “downright evil.” Other than spending the past seven years serving Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan, Bill Daley was also a Chamber of Commerce chair. While at the Chamber, Daley “played a major role in opposing the regulation of derivatives” and signed the now infamous Chamber of Commerce manifesto to destroy middle class America.
And we’re just getting warmed up… Daley was Clinton’s NAFTA czar (job exporting specialist) and he even has deep ties to the organization responsible for creating the explosion in CEO pay, all-time record-breaking inequality of wealth and shipping millions more jobs overseas, The Business Roundtable. They just released the following statement:
“Business Roundtable has a strong relationship with Mr. Daley and has worked with him in the past on many issues important to both business and the broader economy, such as the successful ratification of NAFTA. Mr. Daley can continue to be an important partner in our fight…. We look forward to continuing our work with Mr. Daley in his new position.”
Let’s also mention that he played a pivotal role in creating the housing crisis, was on the board of Fannie Mae, opposed financial reform, supported health insurance companies, fought for Pharma interests, lobbied for telecommunications companies and adamantly opposed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He even railed against post-Enron accounting and auditing laws… P.O.P… that was the sound of the vein in my head bursting.
But wait… it gets even better! As a board member of the think tank “Third Way,” Daley took a strong interest in cutting “entitlements” like Social Security and Medicare. He is a proud member of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves on the Boards of Directors of Merck & Co., one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, and he is on the board of . . . wait for it . . . Boeing. Yes, the Pentagon-Wall Street-Pharma nexus is complete. You may now run the White House.
Boeing certainly does love Wall Street. For those of you out of the loop, you may not recall that the most powerful and destructive WMD that Boeing executives ever helped develop was the CDO, that’s a Collateralized Debt (Damage) Obligation. Do you remember that guy Edward Liddy? Liddy and Bill Daley were both Boeing board members, before Liddy temporarily moved to Goldman Sachs where he oversaw their Audit Committee. Liddy was the person who had the most knowledge of Goldman’s CDO exposure insured through, what was that company’s name?… Oh, AIG. Yeah, that was it. Then, Hank “Pentagon-Watergate-Goldman” Paulson unilaterally made Liddy the CEO of AIG, before teaming up with Tim “Kissinger-Rubin-Summers-IMF” Geithner to flush $183 billion tax dollars down the “too big to fail” drain. And then… after the government was finished pumping our tax dollars to financial terrorists through the AIG SPV, Liddy scurried back to the board of Boeing where he could have cocktails with his ole pal Billy-Boy Daley. Yep, Goldman, JP Morgan, Boeing and the destruction of the US economy, birds of a feather…
But I digress, this all happened so long ago, who even remembers this stuff? It all sounds too conspiracy theory for me anyway.
Seriously though, this appointment shows you how arrogant this criminal racket is in their power. Through Daley, JP Morgan and friends will now control Obama’s information flow and schedule. But don’t take my word for it, as you might have noticed, I’m completely biased against the people who are raping this country. When it comes to financial terrorists, my commitment to being fair and balanced goes right out the window. So let’s see what others are reporting…
To throw a little light on this deal with the dark side, Paul Blumenthal from the Sunlight Foundation focuses on the ever-spinning revolving door between Washington and Wall Street:
The revolving door shouldn’t spin again for William Daley
“A Daley selection, which has been hailed by banks, would plant an official emissary from Wall Street into one of the most important jobs in Washington.
The President once told a meeting of bankers that he was ‘the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks.’ That apparently wasn’t good enough. Picking Daley would send the message that the pitchforks–normal people–matter less than the continued flow of campaign donations from the uber-wealthy. Barack Obama raised $39 million from the finance, insurance and real estate sector in his 2008 bid for President, the most raised from this sector by anyone in one cycle seeking political office in the United States ever.
Even more problematic than the need to corral donors for 2012 is that Daley’s presence would allow him to control the time of the President. Daley could choose who the President sees and what information gets to the President. Based on the praise the financial sector has for the Daley selection, it is clear who those people are and what that information would be.”
That old-fashioned investigative reporting outlet ProPublica focuses on Daley’s Chamber days:
Obama’s New Chief of Staff a Top Banker With Strong Chamber Ties
Obama has named Bill Daley his new chief of staff… a current JPMorgan Chase executive…. Daley has strong ties to the Chamber of Commerce, which opposed the financial reform bill that was a cornerstone of the administration’s agenda last year. From Kevin Connor, co-director the Public Accountability Initiative, a nonprofit research organization:
‘From 2005 to 2007, he co-chaired a Chamber of Commerce committee on financial (de)regulation. The ‘Commission on the Regulation of Capital Markets in the 21st Century’ eventually became the Chamber’s Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness, which played a prominent role in attacking derivatives regulation and consumer protections last year. The Hill called the group one of the ‘loudest voices on financial legislation’ —and they weren’t exactly singing the praises of reform efforts.
Daley also signed on to a March 2009 Chamber manifesto on ‘Restoring Confidence in US Capital Markets,’ the Chamber’s opening PR move in the financial reform debate.’
The new chief of staff has publicly opposed the concept of an independent consumer financial protection agency….” [read more]
Those are some of the many financial ties, but let’s not forget the Boeing connection.
This just in:
Pentagon delays F-35, buys more Boeing fighters
“The Pentagon overhauled the Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter program for the second time in a year and said it would buy 41 Boeing Co F/A-18 warplanes over the next three years….” [read more]
Wow, that paid off real quick! Probably just a coincidence though. No conflicts of interest to see here, or anywhere else for that matter. Move along…
Now, for the icing on the cake, Obama’s pick to replace Larry Summers as his top economic advisor is Tim Geithner’s right-hand confidant, former Goldman executive and Rubin disciple Gene Sperling. Speriling was also a Clinton-Rubin-Summers compadre who held this same position under Clinton, playing a direct role in implementing the very policies that fueled our current crisis.
As Wikipedia succinctly states:
“As director of the NEC. Sperling was a principal negotiator with then-Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers of the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Gramm-Leach-Bliley repealed large portions of the depression-era Glass-Stegall Act allowing banks, securities firms and insurance companies to merge.”

Gramm-Leach-Bliley repealed large portions of the depression-era Glass-Stegall Act allowing banks, securities firms and insurance companies to merge.” [ read more]
Speriling is another Council on Foreign Relations member and has worked for the Brookings Institution. He even made some dough off of CIA Ponzi scheme mastermind Allen Stanford. I won’t even go down that rabbit hole, here’s William Alden’s recent take on him:
Gene Sperling Made Millions On Wall Street As Economy Tanked
“Gene Sperling, a leading contender for a top economic post in the White House, made millions on Wall Street even as the economy faltered. The adviser to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is near the top of President Barack Obama’s list of candidates to replace Larry Summers as director of the National Economic Council… By appointing Sperling, the president would fuel perceptions that his administration is overly close to Wall Street, installing a policymaker who has not only overseen monumental deregulation of the financial sector, but has also Sperling worked under Rubin in the early Clinton years, when Rubin was NEC director. In Clinton’s second term, during Sperling’s own tenure as NEC director, Congress repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, prompting a rule-easing that allowed Citigroup to become the world’s largest financial services company.
Citigroup later required a $45 billion taxpayer bailout.
‘He saw nothing at all wrong with the pattern of growth we had in place in the ’90s,’ Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, said of Sperling. ‘He was not thinking at all critically, seeing that there were even any issues here.’” [read more]
As for Sterling’s most recent achievement, he played a lead role in extending tax cuts to the richest 1%.
What a resume! Let’s put this guy in charge. You can’t even make this shit up. Could Obama have found any more corrupt and incompetent Wall Street thugs than this?
To end on a more positive note, albeit another sad development, at least these appointments have further exposed who the Democratic party partisan hacks are. Howard Dean, the man who is supposed to be the “Progressive left” challenger to Obama in 2012, adamantly supports Bill Daley as Chief of Staff, calling his appointment a “huge plus.” Ouch, that’s a bitter pill for Progressives to swallow. And Mother Jones’ David Corn has come out in support of Gene Sperling.
Dear Progressives, put the Kool-Aid down and step away from the two-party oligarchy.
It’s just another sad, sad day on the way down, as America burns.
Maybe I’ll go lay down and watch the Daily Show…
WTF?… Obama is Luke Skywalker?!? Oh Jonny, not you too?
Say it ain’t so! Perhaps I should have just taken the blue pill…

EDITOR'S NOTE: This document circulated some years ago, as the Clinton-era “Assault Weapon” ban was being debated in the Congress. There was no reason to doubt its authenticity at the time, and there is even less now: a careful look will show that many of these restrictions were actually enacted into law; and nearly all of them have in fact been proposed in Congress in the years since the memorandum was leaked. The first set of comments below are those I made at the time I first learned of its existence in the early 1990’s.
The list of signatories is a “Who’s Who” of the gun ban movement at that time: many of them are still actively working to achieve ALL the goals outlined in this document.
“Handgun Control Incorporated” was founded by Pete Shields: one if its early members was Sarah Brady. It has since morphed into “The Brady Center” and the “Violence Policy Center.” HCI was the most anti-gun organization of its day: and the leopard hasn’t changed its spots in 16 years. The VPC is even worse.
Remember: many of these proposals were in fact written into law, and ALL of them have been seriously proposed before and since. Don't think the current Administration is unaware of this document and its contents: they support everything in it, and are only waiting for the "right time" to make them reality.
The tone and wording of the documents reveals the Fascist and totalitarian mindset of these people: it goes far beyond guns, they are talking about restrictions on freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom from search and seizure, among many other violations of fundamental civil liberties.

ADDENDUM ADDED FEBRUARY 6, 2013
The aftermath of the Sandy hook shootings has inevitably led to a hysterical, emotion-driven cry for the government to "..do something about GUN VIOLENCE..." as if guns were the source of violence and not crazy people. All the horrible ideas outlined by HCI in 1994—and many that are even worse—have been put forward as "solutions" by the usual gaggle of suspects, most prominently Senator Diane Feinstein of California. President Obama, in a typically cynical exploitation of tragedy and a transparent attempt to misdirect the attention of the public from his corrupt, incompetent, and utterlay failed admministration, is championing this nonsense.
I have been in this fight for more than 46 years and am old enough to remember the days when guns were so "mainstream" that they were sold in MACY'S in Manhattan. The past decades have seen gun owners and shooters and hunters demonized and driven to the edge of society, using the same tactics as those used on smokers. The day is not far off when, if Feinstein and Obama get their way, we will all have to wear yellow stars on or clothing (or perhaps yellow silhouettes of guns), and/or ring a bell and cry "UNCLEAN!" when we go out in public.
As benjamin Franklin said, "We must all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang seperately." NOW IS THE TIME TO JOIN THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION if you're not a member. This is the flagship organization fighting for YOUR right to keep and bear arms. Other organizations are fine, and good; but ONLY the NRA has real political clout and can prevent disaster. JOIN NOW. There is real strength in numbers.
MY COMMENTS FROM 1994:
This is a transcript of two "confidential" documents from Handgun Control, Inc., outlining their plans for the next 5 to 15 years. The first document is the minutes from a meeting to develop new ideas; the second is a detailed memo regarding proposed license fees. The contents speak for themselves, and the hysterical tone of the rhetoric is typical HCI.
I have spoken with the NRA-ILA's Federal Legislative Affairs office, and the Virginia State Rifle and Revolver Association's Legislative Affairs division. These two documents have been out for about 2-1/2 months, and the pattern of anti-gun activity since the passage of the Brady Act seems to be in line with what has been outlined in them. NRA-ILA and VSRRA are familiar with this material, and indicated to me that their own investigators have decided that they are indeed genuine transcripts. I will only add that if you know ANYONE who still thinks that the anti-gun lobby isn't after HIS guns, you copy these transcripts for him. Then hand him an NRA application form. If necessary, pay for his first year of membership.

Notes and Minutes from Meeting of Friday, December 17 1993 Rough Draft Proposal for Internal Memo and Five Year Plan
White House Meetings:
It was decided to forward the following to the national office for reference. A series of brainstorming meetings will be held at the White House through Winter 1994. All suggestions should be collated and delivered to our policy team by them.
Fundraisers:
A series of fundraisers should be organized for local political allies through the spring of 1994, the details will be outlined in an attached memo. We should have a stronger presence at Anna Eshoo's fund raiser in early January.
Press Releases:
A subcommittee on media and public affairs assembled a list of press releases and studies which can be timed to one released to the media per day, in order to fully maintain the high profile of the gun control issue. We don't want to lose the momentum initiated by the massacre in Long Island, however, many local news organizations have been very active in keeping the gun control issue resolutely in view, without any assistance from us. Be sure to call the various station managers and news services to express your thanks.
[Editor's note: this passage refers to a shooting on a Long Island RR commuter train. One of the victims was Carolyn McCarthy's husband. She moved to the front ranks of the anti-gun movement by entering politics, using her husband's death as the basis of her campaign platform.]
D-Day is in January 1994:
This month will be crucial to swaying votes for Sen. Feinstein's Assault Weapon Ban. Once this passes, we will see the beginning of a landslide which the NRA thugs will not be able to stop, or their few pawns in Congress be able to filibuster.
Thanking our friends:
A subcommittee will draft a letter of support to Rep. Charles Schumer and offer additional materials that we have collated for his use in testimony and press conferences. A special press conference was proposed in order to thank various State politicians for their support for stricter gun control. The subcommittee urged HCI members to maintain the current high visibility of the gun control issue and remember to praise President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno for their political courage for standing up to the old boy network of the Gun Lobby. Special praise to Senator Diane Feinstein was mentioned for her courage in standing up to the ever diminishing number of gun crazy extremists who are actually pushing to make our society a killing field.
WHAT IS PENDING NOW AND CAN BE LAW IN 1994
Ban of all clips holding over 6 bullets
Ban on all semiautos which can fire more than 6 bullets without reloading
Ban of possession of parts to convert arms into military configuration
Ban on all pump shotguns capable of being converted to more than 5 shots without reloading
Banning of all machine guns, destructive devices, short shotguns/rifles assault weapons, Saturday Night Specials and Non-Sporting Ammunition
Arsenal Licensing (for possession of multiple guns and large amounts of ammunition)
Elimination of the Department of Civil Marksmanship, long considered a sacred cow and a dinosaur from the Cold War years (Thank you Mr. Clinton!!!)
Ban on possession of a firearm within a home located within 1000 feet of a schoolyard
Ban on all realistic replicas/toy guns or non-firearms capable of being rendered realistic
The right of victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers and dealers to be affirmed and perhaps, aided with money from government programs
Taxes on ammo, Dealers licenses & guns to offset the medical costs to society
and...
The eventual ban of all semi-automatics (regardless of when made or caliber).
WHAT WAS ONLY A DREAM TEN YEARS AGO CAN BE REALITY AS EARLY AS THIS YEAR! ! !
After the meeting, the following ideas were the result of a brainstorming session to guide the focus of gun control initiatives over the next five years. These may not be politically feasible ideas for 1994, but we are confident that with continued pressure we can achieve most if not all of these goals within the next five years. The following list is condensed from our meeting in which we considered the best ideas for public safety expansion. The time is right for action.
FIVE YEAR PLAN
LICENSES:
1. National Licensing of all Handgun purchases
This is at the top of our list, however, the political climate may be right to initiate this step immediately. Please refer to our memo outlining our ideas on how this should be executed.
2. License for Rifle and Shotguns
We should take our cues from Great Britain. Strict licensing should be mandatory for all firearms, whether handguns or not.
3. State Licenses for ownership of firearms
We want to take a workable idea from Great Britain, whereas, we should require the states to issue strict licenses for possession and require the licenses to be signed by at least three public officials—i.e. the police chief, the city attorney and the mayor, for example, to eliminate ownership by dangerous individuals. It is reasonable to require that all individuals must prove to the signers that they require a firearm. This should be attached to any legislation required purchasers to show a need for a firearm.
4. Reduction of the number of guns to require an Arsenal license
Right now the proposed Arsenal licenses which Senator Feinstein should be pushing for, requires an Arsenal License for those people who feel they need more than 20 guns and 1000 rounds of ammunition. We feel that number is too generous, due to the fact that any number of guns constitutes a grave threat to the safety of the community, we suggest strongly that this license limit be reduced to possession greater than 5 guns and 250 rounds of ammunition.
5. Arsenal License Fees
It is not unreasonable to require a yearly fee for an Arsenal license to be at least $300.00, with a cap of $1000.00. The money collected can be used to defray the immense medical costs directly attributed to these deadly weapons.
6. Limits on Arsenal Licensing
No Arsenal Licensing to be permitted in counties with populations of more than 200,000.
7. Requirement of Federally Approved Storage Safes for all guns
We should follow Great Britain's lead on this. All licensed gun owners should be required to have a storage safe which meets minimum federally mandated requirements. This step would reduce the tragic accidents which claim the lives of tens of thousands of children a year and make it more difficult for burglars to steal the guns.
8. Inspection License
Another good revenue source would be mandatory inspection licensing of all safes. Each safe would be registered with a specific serial number and the serial numbers and types of weapons stored should be on file with federal and state authorities. Since unannounced inspectors can insure that all declared weapons are being properly stored, all safe licenses should have an additional yearly fee to offset the cost of these spot inspections.
PUBLIC SAFETY REGULATIONS:
9. Ban on Manufacturing in counties with a population of more than 200,000
Guns are being built all the time and the number of licensed manufacturers are too great to justify the threat to public safety. This is a small step to reduce the number of these shops where anything, even machine guns, are being built every day.
10. Banning all military style firearms
The Pending National ban on all Assault Weapons, based on a point system can be expanded to eventually cover any firearm with a remotely military appearance. We feel that this aggressive appearance appeals to the type of dangerous individuals who are a definite threat to public safety. We hope that this point system can eventually he expanded to high powered air guns and "paint ball" weapons, which can inflict great damage, and with a little effort can be converted to real guns.
11. Banning of any Machine Gun Parts or parts which can be used in a Machine Gun
Periodicals such as The Shotgun News particularly cater to individuals which wish to build illegal machine guns. If Senator Feinstein's courageous section of the crime bill is successful in banning all machine guns, except for police and military, then there would be no legitimate need for Machine Gun parts except to build illegal weapons.
12. Banning the carrying a firearm anywhere but home or target range or in transit from one to the other
We should institute a federal mandate to the states to strictly regulate the carrying of a firearm.
13. Banning replacement parts (mfg, sale, possession, transfer, installation) except barrel, trigger group
Thousands of people are building illegal weapons every day. We can put a dent in this by banning parts and parts kits, except those items like the barrel and trigger group, which are most likely to wear out due to use.
14. Elimination of the Curio & Relic list
A gun is a gun. Even an old gun can kill people. This is a loop hole in the federal law which has allowed thousands of dangerous weapons to be distributed unchecked. This regulation, if enacted, would automatically eliminate the need for a Curio or Relic collector's license. All handguns, rifles and shotguns would fall into the same category as their modern counterparts.
15. Control of Ammunition belonging to Certain Surplus Firearms
Senator Moynihan has already proposed a tax or ban on .22 LR, 32 ACP, and 9mm ammo, however, it has been pointed out to us that there is an extreme proliferation of high powered surplus rifles (i.e. the Mosin-Nagant series and Enfield series) in which the wholesale prices are as low as $45-$75. We suggest that to control the proliferation of violence associated with the large numbers of these types of weapons entering this country that we ban the importation of their ammunition, 7.62x54R and .303 surplus ammunition.
16. Eventual Ban of Handgun Possession
This may be closer to reality than many of us think. Handguns are becoming increasingly unpopular and we think that within five years we can enact a total ban on possession at the federal level.
17. Banning of Any ammo that fits military guns (post 1945)
With the proliferation of high powered weapons, including semi-automatics and automatics from World War II, we suggest following the lead of Mexico, by prohibiting the sale, manufacture, possession or transfer of any caliber fitting a military firearm in service with a recognized military force after 1945.
AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES:
18. Banning of any quantity of smokeless powder or black powder which would constitute more than the equivalent of 100 rounds of ammunition
With the bombing of the World Trade Center, it has been made clear that we must reinforce the above proposed regulation with this additional notation. It is arguable that no one has any real need to have so much dangerous material on hand.
19. Ban on the possession of explosive powders of more than 1 kilogram at any one time
Gun nuts are notorious for circumventing the intent of the law, so we can reinforce the above proposed regulation with this additional notation. This additional language can be useful in preventing bombmaker and other dangerous individuals.
20. Banning of High Powered Ammo or Wounding ammo
In addition to the banning of military calibers there is a plethora of dangerous rounds which are too high powered for sporting use. This includes the highest calibers of pistol and rifle ammunition (of note are the monster calibers for rifles and pistols, like the .50 caliber Desert Eagle Bullet). We should not forget the lessons learned with the insidious Black Talon Ammo. Hollow points, Glaser killing rounds and other types of ammunition designed specifically for maiming should be prohibited.
21. A National License for Ammunition
This is an idea whose time has come. We should look at a Federal License for purchasing of ammunition of all kinds. A special form should be forwarded to a new federal office to track those who are purchasing too much ammunition. Remember that a gun is useless without ammunition.
22. Banning or strict licensing of all re-loading components
Ammunition regulation laws can be regularly bypassed by home loaders, creating an underground cottage industry of ammo manufacture. Possession or purchase of re-loading equipment and machines should be restricted and those who wish to use specially loaded ammunition can go to a federally licensed re-loader.
23. National Registration of ammunition or ammo buyers
Fees collected from the national licenses should go towards a nationwide database of ammo buyers, with a possible background check to eliminate the purchase of dangerous ammo by felons or mental Patients.
24. Requirement of special storage safe for ammunition and licensing
Like the storage safe for guns, there should be a national requirement for special safes to store ammo. These safes should be tamper proof and fireproof and be registered themselves so that on the spot inspections can be held. Again, the costs for these inspections can be absorbed by the license fees.
GUN RANGES:
25. Restricting Gun Ranges to counties with populations less than 200,000
The obvious threat to public safety of shooting ranges and stray bullets has been lost on many states and counties. We can initiate a federal mandate or incentives to get states to prohibit any kind of shooting range within a county with a population of more than 200,000.
26. Special Licensing of ranges
Those ranges which conform to the previous requirement should get special licensing above and beyond that which is required now. Additionally each existing or new shooting range must get in writing the permission of all property owners within a radius of seven miles.
27. Special Range Tax to visitors
Additional revenue can be a surtax on ranges, requiring the collection of a minimum of $85.00 per visit per person. This can be in addition to required membership fees, upon which the state and local governments get a sizable portion, to help defray the immense cost of gun violence.
28. Waiting period for rentals on pistol ranges
It has been suggested in the past that felons can acquire pistols and other automatic weapons without a background check by renting a gun on a target range. Deranged individuals are basically being given a license to practice hunting humans at these so called sporting ranges. We think that a national waiting period for gun rentals is yet another idea whose time has come.
ACTIVITIES WHICH PROMOTE GUN VIOLENCE:
29. Banning Gun Shows
Illegal transfers and the sales of assault weapons and submachine guns is a common event at these so called gun shows. A huge dent can be made in the illegal trafficking of weapons by banning these shows altogether.
30. Banning of military reenactments
The questionable "historical" value of these events has escaped public scrutiny for too long. Many of these so called historical events are mere excuses for gun nuts to blast the countryside with automatic weapons. What is to keep them from loading live bullets and having those stray bullets kill innocent children? What lives in the future will be lost due to this paramilitary training going on right under our noses? We propose the prohibition of Survivalist/paramilitary, World War I and World War II and Civil War Re-enactments on federal land, and hope to encourage the states to prohibit them from state and county lands as well.
31. Making unlawful the assembly of more than 4 armed individuals who are not peace officers or military
Since most hunting parties consist of four, we recognize the need to eliminate the currently legal assembly of shooters for paramilitary training on private lands. This is just one good suggestion for our elimination of the gun culture from the mainstream.
32. Begin to curb hunting on all public lands
Blood sports are an anathema to a civilized society, however, it has been a political reality that the hunters and their ilk have too strong of a strangle hold on Congress. We feel that the impending defeat of high tech assault killing machines will open the door to restrictions. With the diminishing number of hunters, we feel that perhaps in five years we can open up much more of our country to campers and hikers, and eliminate the threat to families out camping, by looking at much more restrictions as to what parcels of land will allow hunting. This will not infringe on sportsmen's right to hunt on private land.
33. Making Gun Owners Records and Photos matter of public record
We would have to assemble a legal team, in order to investigate the balance of the right to privacy and the right to safeguard public. We fully endorse the photographing and fingerprinting of all gun owners, however, these records are usually relegated to law enforcement only. We think that it would be a good idea to make these records public, so that the communities can have the knowledge of who poses a danger to their community before disaster strikes. We realize that this proposal would probably be controversial, thus a long public affairs campaign would have to be initiated in order to build public support and ease the transition of such an idea. We feel that this idea has merit, and can be justified via the past publication of the names of water wasters during the drought, customers for prostitution, and deadbeat parents who are delinquent on child support.
34. Random Police Checks for Weapons (like sobriety checkpoints)
This idea was floated before in California in 1989, where some thought it would be a great deterrent to gang related crimes for police to do sweeps for gang weapons. Right now this idea may have some resistance, however, the political climate can become right to initiate these random vehicle stop and checks at all levels and in all types of neighborhoods. If we continue to mainstream the pressure we can make this a reality.
THE NEXT FIFTEEN YEARS
With all that is going on, who knows what is possible in the next few years? With murders in the streets, and the public fed up, and the once mighty thugs of the Gun Lobby whimpering in impotence we have an opportunity to change the face of America for the better! Previously we thought that it would take at least a century to eliminate dangerous weapons and guns from the public hands, but now with allies in the White House and Congress, we can accelerate this trend, and make the barbaric NRA extinct!!! Here are some ideas to consider for the long term:
BANNING OF MILITARY ACCOUTREMENTS:
Essential to the Neanderthal gun culture are the typical military clothing, camouflage, pouches, and gear, boots and other combat gear. They euphemistically refer to this as militaria. Elimination of the future sale of these items will cripple the culture of violence well into the 21 st century.
STRICTER GUIDELINES FOR VIOLENCE IN TELVISION AND THE MOVIES:
We should look at the possibility of victims of violence by copying an act on television and the movie or video screen, suing the makers of such shows for compensation to their suffering. If the industry cannot regulate itself, we may have to eventually look at an independent branch of government, to determine which scenes cause more harm than good to the public and regulate the numbers of violent acts portrayed.
THE TOTAL ELIMINATION OF ARMS FROM SOCIETY:
We cannot survive into the 21st century unless we remember the need to expand our wave to new thinking to the total disarmament of America. With much of the public disarmed we can become more like Great Britain, where we can also eliminate the need for much of our police to be armed. This would take a long time, however, a concerted public relations campaign can pressure local law enforcement to give up their arms, when the time comes. Weapons, would be still available to special units like SWAT or the military.
CONTROL OF DANGEROUS LITERATURE (BOMB MAKING, MACHINE GUN CONVERSIONS, ETC.)
Too much irresponsible material is purportedly covered by the 1st Amendment, however, the time will come when our nation has to agree that some literature does not belong in a safe society, like instruction manuals on how to kill, or how to make homemade explosives or nuclear bombs. We must realize that there can be such a thing as too much freedom where such literature poses a serious threat to the public safety.
1994 sounds the death knell for the bully tactics of the NRA and the culture of violence in America!! We are pressing on all fronts and much of this can become reality sooner than we expect. With the loss of power and clout of the NRA and their various smaller crony organizations crumbling to dust, we can eliminate a 200 year old license to murder into history, and enter the 21st century a safer place for our children and our children's children.
HCI - Confidential Document
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE / NOT FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION
Attachment 1:
Stamped Received Stamped CONFIDENTIAL
Signed 1/16/94
Confidential Information for use by Lobbyists or Senior Officers ONLY!
1. Proposed License Fees, 1994-1995 Gun Control Proposals
Fees based on calculated costs of records maintenance, centralized computer system set up, cost of new computer and record keeping equipment, administrative costs of new federal and state offices cost of enforcement and inspection, and calculated cost of gun violence to society.
These listings and the documentation used to calculate these suggested fee schedules will be made available to Federal Law Enforcement Authorities and the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury for review, when the time is right. Additional material will be made available to key politicians when proposing any fee related legislation. These suggestions will be instrumental in determining the nature of future gun control legislation and proposals.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL!! DO NOT DISTRIBUTE BEYOND THE OFFICES OF HCI UNLESS HAND DELIVERED TO AN APPROVED STATE OR FEDERAL LEGISLATOR OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL.
a) Handgun License Fees
Year 1 to 2:
Program can begin at a relatively low cost to discourage non-compliance: Suggested Fee Schedule: $50 - $75 annual fee
Year 3 to 4: Fees would be raised to reflect the cost of enforcement and discourage new ownership: Suggested Fee Schedule: $150- S250 annual fee
Year 5 to 8: If private ownership has not been prohibited by this time then fees can be gradually increased to discourage private ownership: Suggested Fee Schedule $550- $625 annual fee
I. Suggested penalties for non-compliance with licensing:
(Penalties would have to be formally outlined by state and federal lawmakers)
(a) Failure to acquire license
$1,000 / 6 mos in jail and revocation of ability to own firearms
(b) Failure to maintain license
$5,000 / 12 mos in jail and revocation of ability to own firearms
(c) Failure to turn over guns for destruction after lapse of license
S15,000 /18 mos in jail and revocation of ability to own firearms
Failure to re-new license or notify issuing authority of change of status would be considered a felony. All firearms owned would be then considered contraband and could then be confiscated. State or local law enforcement authorities would be prohibited from retaining or re-selling any confiscated firearm. A record of destruction would have to be issued via common carrier to the federal government not later than 60 days after confiscation.
b) Rifle & Shotgun License: Program can begin at $30 or at a cost determined to maintain federal records on ownership and registration. Suggested Fee schedule: $30 - $148 annual fee
c) State Licensing of Firearms: The states can collect revenue by initiating state license requirements. The Dept. of Justice for each state will be responsible for initiating the programs at the state level. The licensing fees would be relatively equal with the federal fee requirements. Suggested Fee schedule: $74 - $150 annual fee
d) Local Licensing of Firearms: The U.S. Treasury Dept should look into any legal precedent which will allow the federal authorities to allow cities and towns to restrict ownership or initiate licensing requirements, with the cost of each annual license to reflect the cost of records maintenance and enforcement. Suggested Fee schedule: $48 - $113 annual fee.
e) Arsenal License: (currently at 20 guns or 1000 rds of ammo)
Suggested Fee schedule: $300- $1000 annual fee. Alternate Yearly Fee Schedule:
If guns owned exceed 20 - $200 per gun over the limit
If ammo qty exceeds 1000 - $100 per each 50 rounds over the limit (Fees are flexible due to requirements of local law enforcement)
f) Suggested Penalty for Non-Compliance of Arsenal Licensing Law: $5,000 / 8 mos in jail, confiscation of all firearms related property and the revocation of ability to own firearms. (Final Disposition would have to be determined by the Dept. of Justice and the state and federal legislatures)
g) Safe License: Suggested Fee schedule: $228- 392 annual fee (Fees based on calculations of set up of computerized records keeping system, enforcement and registration processing)
h) Ammunition Registration & License: Suggested Fee schedule: $55 - $117 fee for license to buy ammunition (fees based on calculations of set up of computerized records keeping system, enforcement and registration processing)
i) Federal license for Re-Loading (or possession of re-loading equipment)
Suggested fee schedule: $130 - $175 annual fee
j) Ammunition Safe license Fee:
Suggested Fee schedule: $55 - S75 annual fee
k) Range license (New Federal License on Target, outdoor/indoor ranges)
Suggested Fee schedule: $12,100- S15.500 annual fee
l) Range Tax Fee (imposed on Federally licensed gun ranges)
Suggested Fee schedule: $85 - S100 collected per person, per visit
m) Inspection License: (verifying the records of guns and storage) This would defray the cost of inspection of firearms safes in businesses or private homes) Suggested Fee schedule: $588 - $678 annual fee
II. Suggestions which can be made immediately available to Key Politicians and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury:
a) Increase Dealers License (Federal Firearms License 01 and 02):
Suggested Fee schedule: $600 - $750 annual fee
b) Increased Title 1 Manufacturing Fees:
Suggested Fee schedule: S6,200- $9,400 annual fee
c) Increased Title 2 Manufacturing Fees:
Suggested Fee schedule: $13,405 - $18,210 annual fee
III. An Estimate of the fiscal impact of the licensing of firearms ownership:
Worst Case: Best Case:
Federal Handgun License: $50 $625 Federal Rifle & Shotgun License: $30 $148 State Gun License Fee: $74 $150 Local Gun License Fee: $48 $113 Arsenal License Fee: $300 $1,000 Safe License Fee: $228 $392 Ammunition License Fee: $55 $117 Re-Loading License Fee: $130 $175 Ammo Safe License Fee: $55 $75 Ammo Inspection Fee: $588 $678
Total Annual Cost: $1,558 $3,473
This cost is not unreasonable, since it would offset considerably the estimated $60 Billion dollars in medical and social costs related to gun violence. If a gun enthusiast feels that he needs such firepower, it is not unreasonable to require him to provide the money necessary to offset the cost to society of such firepower.
Ultimately such action would take the glamour and attraction out of firearms ownership and decrease the numbers of gun owners in the U.S. to a manageable number.
IV. Reduction of Gun Owner Population and Potential Yearly Revenue
The Federal government estimates that around 65-75 Million Americans own guns. These fees and the licensing requirements would allow us to take guns out of the hands of an estimated 30 million unsuitable or ineligible individuals. The fees for the remaining qualifying individuals would additionally reduce the number to about 14 million gun owners. The estimated federal and state revenue from such fee schedules would constitute a minimum of S21.812 Billion Dollars (Worst Case) to an estimated $48,622 Billion (Best Case) annually.
Our eventual goal is to reduce the number of licensees to zero. The revenue itself can be utilized to achieve this goal.
V. Possible Uses for the Revenue:
(A) Institute a mandatory national and comprehensive educational campaign in the public schools (k-12) to de-glamorize guns and gun ownership and to tell the truth about the 2nd Amendment (that it does not address an individual right but a community right) and the years of NRA propaganda to the contrary
(B) A well funded and concerted campaign to add credence to the calls for eliminating the 2nd amendment entirely via constitutional amendment.
(C) Provide a revenue source for the cost of enforcement of the new laws by Federal and State Law enforcement officials
(D) Provide an offsetting monetary fund to provide medical services and legal services to victims of gun violence.
(E) Establish a nationwide system of toll free numbers for reporting violators of the new gun restrictions and non-licensees. A certain sum may be set aside for cash rewards for tips which result in conviction.
Additional Revenue sources listed:
Gun Related Activities:
Range License: $12,100.00 annual fee
Range Tax Fee: $85.00 collected per person, per visit
Gun Dealer License Fee: $600.00 annual fee
Title 1 Gun Mfg License Fee: $6,000.00 annual fee
Title 2 Gun Mfg License Fee: $13,400.00 annual fee
Revenue calculations concerning the above fees will depend on how the numbers of gun ranges, gun range visitors, gun dealers, and gun manufacturers are affected by the increased fees. It is not unreasonable to predict at least a 40% drop in these numbers by the end of the first year. And another 35% drop the year after that.
VI. Legal action and possible new revenue sources
Pending issues to be given at the appropriate time to the LCAV office for investigation as to feasibility, implementation and public reaction. At no time should these suggestions be made public before we can ascertain the current public reaction and provide the results of these studies to the LCAV attorneys. There are some ideas which are ahead of their time and would only be feasible through a concerted P.R. campaign over the period of several years.
A P.R. campaign includes press releases, press conferences, direct lobbying and constant pressure via the national media. We must change the way America thinks in regards to guns and gunowners in order to achieve a safe society for our children in the upcoming century. We realize that one cannot implement every good idea overnight, however the following proposals have been forwarded for investigation as to possible enaction within the next few years. A continued P.R. campaign with the general public as well as the legal and judicial community, will enable us to finally get ground breaking rulings which can change the violent face of the American landscape for years to come.
Legal Point 1:
Making possible the suing of owners of guns, as a group, for monetary compensation for victims of gun violence. Once gun-owners in America have been identified through a verifiable source, i.e. the pending national computer registry, it would be possible to seek further compensation for the victims of gun violence through legal means. As a group, the gun nuts would constitute an identifiable entity for class action suits and other legal actions for compensation to the victims of gun violence.
Legal Point 2:
Suing Gun Organizations under the RICO statute: It would be expected that gun groups and lobbying groups such as the NRA would encourage non-compliance. Thus nationally recognized groups will be technically organizing to break the law . Once this can be proven, these groups will be vulnerable to lawsuits based on the RICO statute and drained of their financial resources through repeated legal action.
Legal Point 3:
Suing the makers of toy/replica guns, toy weapons and violent entertainment: One of the purveyors of violence to society, companies which profit off of violence would eventually be identified and made legally responsible for the violent acts inspired by their products. A study would have to be created to link these companies to those actions taken as a result of their products. There is already current pressure for the makers of toy guns, realistic or not, to concentrate on safer toys which do not exploit violence. The threat of legal action would convince many manufacturers and distributors that other non-violence related toys would be more worthwhile to sell to the community. Lawsuits against the makers of violent entertainment and violence related recreational materials and toys, would make these companies and individuals fiscally accountable for the cost to society incurred as a result of their peddled merchandise. The items could include. Violent Video games, television shows, movies, video tapes, water guns, super soakers, electronic noise guns, replica guns, toy weapons like swords, batons, martial arts items.
Tort law as we know it may not have to under go a change in order the facilitate these actions. As many people know it is not necessary to actually win in order to effect change, since the constant threat of legal action will induce change in the way people do business. People all know that the real fiscal effect of repeated legal actions can bankrupt a peddler of violence just as well as winning a large settlement.
Any additional ideas or proposals should be directed at our Washington D.C. office for collation, investigation and discussion. Please maintain standard security procedures when distributing sensitive documents between offices. A routing slip should accompany each sealed document and the signature of all readers should be legible, dated and timed.
At this time documents of this nature will not be distributed to new field offices or allied political groups until their security measures can be confirmed.A Quick Guide to Arguing with the Gun Zealots
When you argue with the anti-gun control forces remember to press these key issues:
Strategic points to remember for public speaking:
Today's criminals and gangbangers outgun our cops.
Our children are being threatened, murdered and cut down in the street.
There is no sporting purpose for a semi-automatic firearm.
The 2nd Amendment does not protect the right to own military or semi-automatic arms.
With tens of millions of people owning guns, the potential for lawlessness and gun massacres increases ten fold each year.
The current crime wave can touch any community, and social strata.
Handguns have no purposes other than killing people.
Households with guns are 43 times more likely to have their guns used against a family member than those households without guns.
Self defense is no legitimate reason for owning a gun (see Above Point).
The vast majority of crime guns are bought legally.
Most Gun dealers sell thousands of guns illegally to gangs and criminals every day.
Repeat these facts over and over and eventually the public will begin to see the light. They cannot casually dismiss these devastating facts any more. They will be remembering our arguments long after the echoes of the NRA's arguments have vanished. Remember that they are defending the right to murder in our country. This alone makes them look brutish and Neanderthals. Offer our people another alternative. An alternative to violence and machismo. It is becoming less and less politically correct to own a gun. Ultimately society as a whole will look upon gun owners with dread and disdain.
Other Pressing Points:
Military Assault Weapons:
The confusion by the general public between semi-automatic weapons can work in our favor. Constantly dropping the words - submachine gun, fully automatic, machine gun, military weapon, high tech killing machine are good debater's tricks to instill a sense of dread over these weapons. Ultimately people will learn to dread these weapons just like chemical warfare weapons and toxic waste dumps.
Semi-Automatic Weapons:
Remember that there is no place for any kind of semi-auto weapon in a safe society regardless of how it looks, since many so called sport rifles can be easily converted to a military configuration. Thus all semi-automatic weapons are capable of being called assault weapons . Never let up on this fact.
Endangerment of Children:
It is difficult for the Gun groups to counter arguments which call attention to the endangerment of children. Making the opposition look callous creates an image of brutality and indifference to the audience. Keep this point in the fore front of any public argument.
Enough is enough:
Americans are sick and tired of the violence that is infecting our society. Press forth this point and other points of a related nature. It is time for action, to take back our streets from crime. If we don't take action now, this crimewave will engulf America. Again be sure to press the point that the Gun Lobby opposes action to counter this crime wave.
Assault Weapons the Choice of Criminals:
Assault weapons are the weapons of choice for gangs, mentally deficient individuals, and criminals across the board. The Gun Lobby argues that anyone at anytime should have the right to buy and own these weapons of mass destruction.
Too Many Guns in the U.S.:
There are over 200 million guns in America today. One for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Push the fact that each one of these killing machines poses a grave threat to our population.
Assault Ammunition:
The ammunition for military arms are more powerful and more devastating than normal ammunition. This type of ammo if not banned, should have the delivery systems (a.k.a. assault weapons) banned at least.
Points of Victory in the past ten years:
Defeating the NRA's attempt to gut the ban on interstate handgun sales.
Defeating the NRA s protection of Cop Killer Bullets.
Defeating the NRA's protection of Plastic, Undetectable handguns.
Winning a ban on Saturday Night Specials in Maryland.
Winning bans on Assault Weapons in states and cities throughout the U.S.
Also remember to make good use of HCI's prepared 10 and 20 minute sample speeches available in the future. These speeches can be modified to fit a variety of circumstances.
The Fraud of the Second Amendment and the Gun Lobby's Big Lie:
The following is our current flyer on the NRA's Fraud concerning and meaning and interpretation of the Second Amendment. Remember to read the arguments about the Second Amendment and our fact sheets on Children & Guns, Firearms & Youth Suicides, and our upcoming Fact Sheet on the Myth of using a Gun in Self Defense. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the S.T.A.R. program and push not only for its implementation but also of new materials which will address the Gun Lobby's Myth about the Second Amendment.
"A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The Second Amendment: Fraud and Fact
Four Basic Reasons Why The Second Amendment Permits Gun Control
1. FRAUD:
The Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees each individual the unlimited right to own and use guns for hunting, self-protection, target shooting or other individual pursuits.
1. FACT:
Although the gun lobby, led by the National Rifle Association, literally spends millions of dollars each year promoting this false claim, the truth is the federal courts have unanimously held that the right to keep and bear arms is limited to participation in an organized militia...that the Second Amendment does not guarantee the right of individuals to own and to carry arms.
2. FRAUD:
Because the Second Amendment guarantees Americans the right to bear arms, the government cannot forbid Americans to own firearms, such as handguns, or even assault weapons.
2. FACT:
No federal court in history has ever overturned a gun control law on Second Amendment grounds. To the contrary, the courts have held that this amendment does not prohibit Congress from regulating the interstate sale of weapons, nor does it prevent the states from regulating the use and sale of firearms as they see fit.
3. FRAUD:
Because it contains the phrase, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms," the Second Amendment obviously meant to confer an individual right to own and use firearms.
3. FACT:
During colonial days, Americans held a great distrust of standing armies and, in order to get the Constitution ratified, the framers had to include a Bill of Rights provision to protect state militias from federal encroachment. Thus "of the people" refers to the right of the people to participate in organized state militias, free from interference by the federal government.
4. FRAUD:
A "well-regulated militia" refers to those persons who live within the boundaries of any given state, and that's why each citizen of a state retains a fundamental right to keep and bear arms .
4. FACT:
The term "well-regulated militia" has been consistently viewed by the federal courts as the active, organized militia of each state. Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court has twice held that the National Guard is the modern day equivalent of a state militia. Of course, the National Guard does not use privately owned firearms at all.

Israeli Cartoon Depicts Netanyahu as 9-11 Pilot
October 31, 2014
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-ev
masse by transmitters regulating our state of consciousness, to how we are victims of electromagnetic waves disrupting the state of our health and finally how many of us will die, as decided by our global masters.
Earth is wrapped in a donut shaped magnetic field. Circular lines of flux continuously descend into the North Pole and emerge from the South Pole. The ionosphere, an electromagnetic-wave conductor, 100 kms above the earth, consists of a layer of electrically charged particles acting as a shield from solar winds. Natural waves are related to the electrical activity in the atmosphere and are thought to be caused by multiple lightning storms.
Collectively, these waves are called ”The Schumann Resonance,’ the current strongest at 7.8 Hz.
These are quasi-standing extremely low frequency (ELF) waves that naturally exist in the earth‘s ”electromagnetic" cavity, the space between the ground and the ionosphere. These ”earth brainwaves" are identical to the spectrum of our brainwaves. (1 hertz = 1 cycle per second, 1 Khz = 1000, 1 Mhz =1 million. A 1 Hertz wave is 186,000 miles long; 10 Hz is 18,600 miles. Radio waves move at the speed of light.)
The Creator designed living beings to resonate to this natural frequency pulsation in order to evolve harmoniously. The ionosphere is being manipulated by US government scientists using an Alaskan transmitter called HAARP, (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) which sends focused radiated power to heat up sections of the ionosphere, which bounces power down again.
ELF waves from HAARP, when targeted on certain areas, can engineer weather and create mood changes effecting millions of people.
The intended wattage is 1,700 billion watts of power. A former govt. insider deduced they want to flip the world upside down. Sixty-four (64) elements in the ground modulate, with variation, the geomagnetic waves naturally coming from the ground. The ”earth‘s natural brain rhythm" above is balanced with these.
These are the same minerals as the red blood corpuscles. There is a relation between the blood and geomagnetic waves. An imbalance between Schumann and geomagnetic waves disrupts biorhythms.
These natural geomagnetic waves are being replaced by artificially created very low frequency (VLF) ground waves coming from GWEN Towers.
WHAT ARE GWEN TOWERS?
GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network) transmitters, placed 200 miles apart across the USA, allow specific frequencies to be tailored to the geomagnetic-field strength in each area, allowing the magnetic field to be altered.
They operate in the VLF range, with transmissions between VLF 150 and 175 KHz. They also emit UHF waves of 225 - 400 MHz.
The VLF signals travel by waves that hug the ground rather than radiate into the atmosphere. A GWEN station transmits up to a 300-mile radius, the signal dropping off sharply over distance. The entire GWEN system consists of, (depending on source of data), from 58 to an intended 300 transmitters, spread across the USA, each with a tower 299-500 ft high.
Three hundred (300) ft. of copper wire fans out in a spoke like fashion from the base of the underground system, interacting with the earth like a thin shelled conductor, radiating radio wave energy for very long distances through the ground. The USA bathes in this magnetic field which rises to 500 ft, even going down to basements, so everyone is subject to mind control.
The whole artificial ground wave spreads out over USA like a web. It is easier to mind-control and hypnotize people who are bathed in an artificial electromagnetic wave.
Covering the entire floor with aluminum and buying a CET (Cosmic Energy Transformers ) cylinder from various places -one of them, Nordic Living Water Systems - can help.
GWEN transmitters have many different functions, including controlling the weather, mind, behavior and mood control of the populace.
They are also used to send synthetic telepathy disguised as infrasound to those victims of US government mind-control implants.
These towers work in conjunction with HAARP and the Russian Woodpecker transmitter, a system similar to HAARP. The Russians openly market a small version of their weather-engineering system called Elate, which can fine-tune weather patterns over a 200 mile area and have the same range as the GWEN unit. One such system operates at the Moscow airport.
The GWEN Towers shoot enormous bursts of energy into the atmosphere in conjunction with HAARP. The internet website: www.cuttingedge.org, published an expose on how the major floods of 1993 in the Mid-Western United States were instigated by these systems. How does this happen?
Invisible, enormous rivers of water, consisting of vapors that flow, move towards the poles in the lower atmosphere. They rival the flow of the Amazon River and are 420 to 480 miles wide and up to 4,800 miles long.
They are 1.9 miles above the earth and move 340 lbs of water per second. There are 5 atmospheric rivers in each Hemisphere. A massive flood can be created by damming up one of these massive vapor rivers, causing huge amounts of rainfall to be dumped. The GWEN Towers positioned along the areas north of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers were turned on for 40 days and 40 nights, probably mocking the Flood of Genesis. (This was in conjunction with HAARP).
The damming of the vapor rivers creates a river of electricity flowing thousands of miles through the sky and down to the polar ice-cap, manipulating the jet-stream. Again, these two major rivers flooded, causing agricultural losses of $12-15 billion. HAARP also produces earthquakes by focusing on the fault lines. GWEN Towers are positioned on the fault lines and volcanic areas of the Pacific Northwest.
In 1963, Dr. Robert Becker explored effects of external magnetic-fields on brainwaves, showing a relationship between psychiatric hospital admissions and solar magnetic storms. He exposed volunteers to pulsed magnetic-fields similar to magnetic storms, and found a similar response. In the United States, sixty (60) Hz electric-power ELF waves vibrate at the same frequency as the human brain. In the United Kingdom, fifty (50) Hz electricity emissions depress the thyroid.
Dr. Andrija Puharich (in the 1950 & 60s), found that a clairvoyant‘s brainwaves turned to 8 Hz when their psychic powers were operative. In 1956, he observed an Indian Yogi controlling his brainwaves, deliberately shifting his consciousness from one level to another. Puharich trained people via bio-feedback to do this consciously, that is, creating 8 Hz waves with the technique of bio-feedback. A psychic healer generated 8 Hz waves through a hands-on healing process, actually alleviating that patient‘s heart trouble; the healer‘s brain emitting 8 Hz.
One person, emitting a certain frequency, can make another also resonate to the same frequency. Our brains are extremely vulnerable to any technology that sends out ELF waves, because they immediately start resonating to the outside signal by a kind of tuning-fork effect.
Puharich further experimented, discovering that,
7.83 Hz (earth‘s pulse rate) made a person ”feel good," producing an altered-state
10.80 Hz causes riotous behavior
6.6 Hz causes depression.
Puharich made ELF waves change RNA and DNA in the body, breaking hydrogen bonds to make a person resonate at a higher vibratory rate.
He really wanted to go beyond the psychic 8 Hz brainwave and attract psi phenomena.
James Hurtak, who once worked for Puharich, also wrote in his book The Keys of Enoch that ultra-violet caused hydrogen bonds to break and this raised the vibratory rate.
Puharich presented the mental effects of ELF waves to military leaders, but they would not believe him. He then gave this information to certain dignitaries of other Western nations. The US Government burned down his home in New York to shut him up, whereas he then fled to Mexico. However, the Russians discovered which ELF frequencies affected what portion of the human brain; it was on July 4, 1976, that they began zapping the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with electromagnetic-waves, varying the signal, also focusing on 10 Hz. (10 Hz puts people into a hypnotic state).
Russians and North Koreans use this in portable mind-control machines to extract confessions. (This system can also be found in some American Churches to help the congregation believe!)
This Russian "Woodpecker“ signal was traveling across the world from a transmitter near Kiev. The US Air Force identified 5 different frequencies in this compound that the harmonic Woodpecker was sending through the earth and atmosphere.
In 1901, Nikola Tesla, Nobel prize winner in Physics (shared with Einstein) revealed that power could be transmitted through the ground using ELF waves. Nothing stops or weakens these signals. The Russians retrieved Tesla‘s papers when they were returned to Yugoslavia after his death.
In Mexico, Puharich continued to monitor the Russian ELF wave signal and the higher harmonics (5.340 MHz) in the MHz range. He was somehow induced to work for the CIA and he and Dr. Robert Becker designed equipment to measure these waves and their effect on the human brain. Puharich started his work by putting dogs to sleep.
By 1948/49, he had graduated to monkeys, deliberately destroying their eardrums to enable them to pick up sounds without the eardrum intact.
He discovered a nerve from the tongue could be used to facilitate hearing. He created the tooth implant that mind-control victims are now claiming was put in by their dentist, unbeknownst to them, and causing them to hear ”voices in their head.‘ These were placed under caps or lodged in the jaw.
Implants are now smaller than a hair‘s width and are injected with vaccine and flu shots. Millions have had this done unknowingly. These ”biochips‘ circulate in the bloodstream and lodge in the brain, enabling the victims to hear ”voices‘ via the implant. There are many kinds of implants now, and it is estimated that 1 in 40 people are recipients of these tiny implants due to alien abductions. However, others have suggested that one in 20 might just be a more accurate statistic.
The fake alien abduction - these revealed by many victims - are actually engineered by the U.S. military, using advanced technology to create holograms (4th dimensional pictures) or holographic spaceships outside.
This holographic, advanced technology can actually create a scenario whereas the person believes he/she is going into a spaceship. However, once inside, the aliens are in masquerade; they are actually military personnel outfitted in full costumes, masks et al..
Certainly real abductions occur, however, the ”alien abduction" scenario has been most useful to the military in confusing the over all issue. This clouding tends to halt any further investigation into a government participation and inevitably absolves them of any accountability. They are banking on the poor helpless victims feeling too intimidated to reveal such a shocking episode, lest ridicule be visited upon them.
Are the global masters forcing us to respond to an artificially induced vibratory rate?
Those power mongers who want this planet to have a sudden leap in evolution, populated only by the psychically aware and therefore superior class of human? What about the billions of people who are commonly referred to as ”useless eaters"; are they to be conveniently disposed of by electro-magnetically-induced cancers and diseases? It certainly causes one to stop and ponder this catastrophic situation.
The physics and engineering behind electromagnetic disease transmission are frightening. Diseases can be reproduced as ”disease signatures" in that the vibration of a disease can be manufactured and sent on to be artificially induced. (The brainwave pattern of hallucinogenic drugs can also be copied and sent by ELF waves to induce ”visions").
Once diseases are sprayed in the air, electromagnetic waves attune to the disease by using harmonics and sub-harmonics, which in turn make them even more lethal and infectious; actually a more apt description would be deadly, as in inducing death.
The skies are filled daily with chemtrails, those crisscrossed white patterns that are sprayed out across the heavens in the United States and other countries. Are these like contrails that jets emit behind them? Not exactly... contrails dissipate rather quickly, but the chemtrails - those feathery streaks that linger - are deliberately being sprayed and contain insidious chemicals (retrieved, analyzed and proven) which affect the state of consciousness, producing apathy.
This is only one "program“ that has been initiated to keep the populace in a continual apathetic state. Add to this, the fluoridation of the drinking water, aspartame nutri-sweet, etc., and other highly-questionable drugs.
Fluoride disables the willpower section of the brain, impairing the left occipital lobe. Both fluoride and selenium (in additional amounts) can produce strange effects; one common symptom is that of "hearing voices‘.
ELF waves create disturbances in the biological processes of the body, activated on a large scale once the body has been exposed to the aforementioned disease-causing chemtrails.
Some chemtrails have been analyzed under laboratory conditions, the elements shown to cause cleavages in spatial perceptions, blocking the interaction of various amino acids that relate to higher-consciousness. Some were also shown to increase dopamine in the brain thereby producing a listless, euphoric state of lower reactive mind.
This is done to basically create confusion, rendering a person unable to differentiate between the real and illusionary. In addition, some of these chemtrails could be connected with the many UFO abductions occurring on a global massive scale.
Many victims, some recalled under hypnotic regression, have witnessed other abductees laid out on tables (in a sort of assembly line operation) and in the process or being implanted.
Intelligence agencies are in league with each other, behind this disablement of the masses to such a degree where they can‘t even fight back. In order to implement their plans, that of total control of the populace, they need the overall ”frequency" of each victim to function at a specific rate, below the threshold of awareness.
Could this be part of a greater plan with mind-control transmitters covering the whole of USA and England, cleverly disguised as cell phone towers and trees? The power from microwave towers may be turned up to such a level that people will die.
A brain functioning at beta-level (above 13 Hz) is agitated and cannot change the perceptions if it is artificially stabilized to that frequency by technological methods. This frequency may also increase body electricity in others, giving them psychic powers. Is this linked to the new-agers claim of a 12-14 Hz Schumann Resonance, inching us towards the 4th dimension?
Stimulants ingested globally from higher-caffeine, genetically modified plants, may also make an impact on the ”global-brain" in the ionosphere that is collecting our brainwaves.
New-age channelers say we are going into a 4th dimensional frequency. They ”heard‘ the voice of some ”ET" who informed them of this.
However, some ”ETs" are just plain earthians in disguise. Using Tesla Technology, Prisoners in the Utah State Prison were bombarded with voices from a "purported“ ET, each prisoner receiving the same identical message. Curious, indeed. Today, it is relatively simple to produce these "voices in the head.“ Implants/microchips are no longer necessary.
In 1988, an inmate in Draper Prison, Utah by the name of David Fratus wrote:
"I began to receive or hear, high-frequency tones in my ears. When I plugged my ears, the tones were still inside and became amplified. It’s as if they had became electrified echo chambers with the sounds coming from the inside out.
I then began to hear voices, right in my inner ears and just as vividly as though I were listening to a set of stereo headphones. The end result is that I am now having my brain monitored by an omnipotent computerized mind reading or scanning machine of some sort.“
Hundreds of inmates at the Gunnison Facility of the Utah State Prison and the State Hospital were subjected to this brand of mind-control, used as test subjects like rats in a lab. In the early 1970s, this was revealed in the Utah U.S. District Court.
While incarcerated, these inmate test subjects, having been subjected to this Tesla-wave mind-control, tried to seek restitution in the courtroom. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.
The University of Utah researched how Tesla-waves could be used to manipulate the mind into hearing voices, overriding and implanting thoughts into the mind, in addition to reading thoughts. They also went about developing eye-implants. Cray (The Cadillac of computers, ultra sophisticated) computers, using artificial intelligence, monitor the victims of government produced implants, sending pre-recorded sound bytes or occasional live messages.
They are picked up by satellite and relayed to whatever large TV broadcasting antenna, GWEN tower or other antenna that is nearest the victim. It is believed that some types of implants pick up the signal and broadcast the correct Tesla-wave pattern to create voices within the victim.
The tracking implant keeps the staff and the satellite system informed every few minutes as to exactly where to send the voice signals. The master computer and central HQ for this is reported to be Boulder, CO. It is thought that transponders are being made there.
The central cellular computer is in the Boulder, CO National Bureau of Standards building. AT&T is also cooperating; several agencies work together on this.
Tim Rifat of UK wrote that "this inter-cerebral hearing“ is used to drive the victim mad, as no one else can hear the voices transmitted into the brain of the target. Transmission of auditory data directly into the target‘s brains using microwave carrier beams is now common practice. Instead of using excitation potentials, one uses a transducer to modify the spoken word into ELF audiograms that are then superimposed on the pulse modulated microwave beam.
On March 21, 1983, The Sydney Morning Herald published this by Dr. Nassim Abd El-Aziz Neweigy, Assistant Professor of Agriculture, Moshtohor Tukh-Kalubia, Egypt.
This article stated:
"Russian satellites, controlled by advanced computers, can send voices in one‘s own language, interwoven into natural thoughts. They can target the population of choice with this diffused artificial thought process. The chemistry and electricity of the human brain can be manipulated by satellite and even suicide can be induced.
Through ferocious, anti-humanitarian means, the extremist groups are fabricated, the troubles and bloody disturbances are instigated by advanced tele-means via Russian satellites in many countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.“
Another source says that these have been fed with the world‘s languages and synthetic telepathy will reach into people‘s heads making people believe God is speaking to them personally to enact the Second Coming, complete with holograms!
The Russians broke the genetic code of the human brain. They worked out 23 EEG band-wave lengths, 11 of which were totally independent. So if you can manipulate those 11 you can do anything. NSA‘s (U.S. National Security Agency) Cray computers can remotely track people just by knowing the specific EMF waves (evoked potentials from EEGs in the 30-50 Hz, 5 milliwatt range) of a person‘s bioelectric-field. Each person‘s emissions are unique and they can remotely track someone in public.
Now if this isn‘t a horrifically frightening thought, I don‘t know what is.
Evoked potentials officially do not exist in physics, but in 1873 a Scotsman, James Clerk Maxwell, discovered that electromagnetic waves have 3 components. He discovered waveforms that exist at a certain number of right-angled rotations away from the electromagnetic field. These are hyper-spacial components, not subject to constraints of time and space.
He claimed that electromagnetic radiation waves were carried by the ether and the ether was disturbed by magnetic lines of force. The hidden component is called only ”potential‘ now and not normally used except for covert hyper-dimensional physics and to manipulate consciousness itself via electromagnetic-waves covering vast areas of the planet.
Approximately one person in 3000 is sensitive to this magnetic waveform component, the telepathic types, (according to a writer called "Majix"), and we are all capable of tuning into this magnetic component by tuning our subconscious to it. Maxwell‘s successors thought potentials were akin to mysticism because they believed fields contain mass which cannot be created from nothing.
This is what potentials are - both literally and mathematically - an accumulation or reservoir of energy, consequently this hasn‘t been taught in mainstream physics.
Subliminal words (in the correct electromagnetic-field and attuned to the human brain) that express human consciousness can enter our minds at a subconscious level. Apparently, our brain activity patterns can be measured and stored on super-computers. If a victim needs to have subliminal thoughts implanted, all that is necessary is to capture that brain activity pattern, (saved on the mega computer) and target or match up that person’s pattern.
The targeted or specified person is then sent low frequency subliminal messages that they actually think are their own thoughts.
The researcher Majix says our brains are so sensitive, that they are like liquid crystal in response to the magnetic component of the earth. We are sensitive to earth’s magnetic changes, changes in the ionospheric cavity and resonate those frequencies ourselves. We are incredibly complex entities, beyond the layperson‘s comprehension. Our brains are indeed a type of bio-cosmic transducer.
Physicists in Russia have conducted in-depth studies on the effects of the mean annual magnetic-activity, electro-magnetic and electro-static fields on human behavior and the physical body. These electromagnetic and electro-static fields can be likened to what is popularly known as biorhythms. These magnetic frequencies can be manipulated from a very simple piece of equipment operated at extremely low power levels; our brain waves can mimic magnetic frequencies.
From half a second to 4 seconds later, the neurons and brain waves are driven exclusively by this device; power levels almost nonexistent.
All one needs is a circularly polarized antenna, aimed up at the ionospheric cavity and they can then manipulate the moods of everyone within a 75 sq. mile area. The body picks up these "new" manipulated waves and begins to correspond immediately. What is known as the "sleep" frequency will make everyone become tired and sleep.
In Let’s Talk MONTAUK, Joyce Murphy presented data that showed that experiments on the 410-420 MHz cycle have been done which could affect the "window frequency to the human consciousness" as a whole.
More info on this is available on the internet website.
Preston Nichols, previously mentioned herein, learned from his experimentation with his radio equipment that whenever a 410-420 MHz cycle appeared on the air, a psychic‘s mind would be "jammed," finally tracing the signal to Montauk Point and the red and white radar antenna on the AF Base there.“
In Encounter in the Pleiades by Peter Moon and Preston Nichols, Nichols wrote that,
"Dr. Nicholas Begich, an expert of HAARP, has picked up 435 MHz signals connected to HAARP and that a mind control function is currently being employed. He claims that 400-450 MHz is the window to human consciousness because it is our present day reality’s background frequency.
Tim Rifat wrote in his Microwave Mind Control in the UK article that cellular phones use 435 MHz.
The United Kingdom police use 450 MHz exclusively. Dr. Ross Adey used this frequency for CIA behavioral modification experiments. Police have a vast array of antennae to broadcast this frequency all over UK. Adey used 0.75mW/cm2 intensity of pulse modulate microwave at a frequency of 450 MHz, with an ELF modulation to control all aspects of human behavior. 450 MHZ radar modulated at 60 Hz greatly reduced T-lymphocyte activity to kill cultured cancer cells.
A study in the USA of their 60 Hz power lines repeated this.
Through much study and analysis on this varied topic, independent scientists have concluded that HAARP is slicing up the ionosphere --- the world-brain --- like a microwave knife, producing long tear incisions and destroying the membrane that holds the reservoir of data accumulated of all earth‘s history.
However, there can be hope if we are aware of all the possibilities that exist. A healer called Mr. A claimed to have received "Ancient Wisdom" from the earth‘s protective Magnetic-Ring of energy which stores within it all knowledge since time began. Ruth Montgomery wrote about this healer in Born To Heal.
He claimed that if our energy flow is cut off from this magnetic field, (the protective atmospheric magnetic-ring) then the Universal Supply is obstructed and we are no longer in tune with these advantageous frequencies, therefore we begin to get sick.
The Power from this travels in split-seconds around the world and is available to anyone who is capable of receiving and handling it.
The waves from The Ring were automatically translated into words in the healer‘s mind and interpreted as wisdom to diagnose and heal others; this ability coming from the storehouse of knowledge that has been present since the beginning of time. By tapping into this storehouse, he produced instant miracles, knitting broken bones and removing arthritis. A photo was produced that displayed forked lightning emitting from his fingers.
That which we term "reality“ - as understood mentally by our thinking processes - is being altered and changed into different expressions to allow complete control of our personal reality - a complete absolution of that which has been normally operative in a divinely ordained, natural frequency.
We must not allow them to succeed because of the global masses‘ ignorance of this very advanced technology.
These elevated scientific methods have been suppressed for many years and only those very few people in power have been privy to this information and obviously used it with no "good intention“ in mind.
Do you want to be turned into a zombie, a robotic, controlled entity walking around in an apathetic state, or do you want to live life as a vital, vibrant human being... as the Divine Creator intended for you? We, as united peoples, can turn the tide.
"Awareness is the Cure.“

nizations with the words “tea party” or “patriot” were singled out for harassment, such as requiring them to provide a list of donors, details about their internet postings on social networking websites, and information about their family members.
When this was first reported by the media in May 2013, Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that had conducted these illegal activities, claimed that only low level employees had known about it, and that no high level IRS officials had known about it. However, soon afterward, NPR reported that an Inspector General report showed that Lerner had been lying, and that she herself had actually been aware of it since June 29, 2011. Even worse, during March and April of 2012, Lerner herself had actually written such letters to fifteen different conservative groups. One of these letters can be read here.
While testifying in May 2013, Lerner said, “I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations. And I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee.” However, afterward, she invoked her fifth amendment right to remain silent. The Washington Post reported that there was disagreement as to whether or not Lerner’s statement constituted a waiving of her fifth amendment right to remain silent. Soon afterward, she was placed on paid administrative leave.
The Washington Post reported that IRS officials at the IRS headquarters in Washington D.C. had sent such letters to conservatives groups. Reuters reported that higher level IRS officials had taken part in discussions about it as early as August 2011. However, 21 months later, on May 10, 2013, the Washington Post reported that President Obama had not done anything to investigate or fire the IRS employees who had engaged in this illegal harassment. As of May 14, 2013, none of the IRS employees who engaged in any of this illegal behavior had been disciplined, despite the fact that higher level IRS officials had known about their illegal behavior at least since August 2011.
On May 15, 2013, it was reported that Steven Miller, the acting IRS commissioner, had resigned. However, it was also reported that his assignment would have ended in early June anyway. He resigned – Obama did not fire him.
The IRS gave out confidential information about conservative groups. ProPublica wrote:
“The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year.”
“In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved—meaning they were not supposed to be made public.”
“No unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica.”
President Obama either lied about when he first knew about this – or was too busy playing golf and attending fundraisers to read the memos that were sent to him. The Daily Caller wrote:
“White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a press conference Tuesday that the White House was notified about the IRS targeting tea party groups ‘several weeks ago.’ This comes a day after President Obama said he found out about it from news reports on Friday of last week.”
“During a press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday, President Obama was asked about the IRS scandal. He responded, ‘I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday.’ “
“However, Carney said Tuesday that first a report had to be compiled by the IRS’s inspector general and then when it was completed, it was passed on to the administration.”
“‘A notification is appropriate and routine and that is what happened and that happened several weeks ago,’ Carney said.”
When Media Trackers, a conservative organization, applied to the IRS for non-profit status, after waiting 16 months, it got no response. But when it reapplied with a liberal sounding name, it got approval in just three weeks. Yahoo wrote:
“In May 2011, Drew Ryun, a conservative activist and former Republican National Committee staffer, began filling out the Internal Revenue Service application to achieve nonprofit status for a new conservative watchdog group.”
“When September 2012 arrived with still no word from the IRS, Ryun determined that Media Trackers would likely never obtain standalone nonprofit status, and he tried a new approach: He applied for permanent nonprofit status for a separate group called Greenhouse Solutions, a pre-existing organization that was reaching the end of its determination period.”
“The IRS approved Greenhouse Solutions’ request for permanent nonprofit status in three weeks.”
Politico reported:
“The same Internal Revenue Service office that singled out Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny also challenged Israel-related organizations, at least one of which filed suit over the agency’s handling of its application for tax-exempt status.”
“The trouble for the Israel-focused groups seems to have had different origins than that experienced by conservative groups, but at times the effort seems to have been equally ham-handed.”
The IRS asked conservative groups what books they were reading.
Although the IRS went 18 months or longer without responding to conservative organizations’ applications, the IRS demanded that these same organizations answer the IRS’s intrusive questions within a few weeks.
After the Waco Tea Party sent an application to the IRS, the IRS waited 19 months to respond. In its response, the IRS asked for printouts of its web page and social networking sites, copies of all of its newsletters, bulletins and fliers, and copies of all stories written about it. The IRS also asked for transcripts of its radio interviews.
As one example of how the IRS treated conservative organizations differently from liberal ones, Politico reported:
“Chris Littleton, one of the co-founders of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, said the group got a grilling from the IRS when it submitted its application, in letters the group has posted on its website. The IRS also gave him so much grief when he tried to apply for tax-exempt status for another group, American Junto, that ‘we just gave up on it,’ he said.”
“But when he submitted an application for a third group — Ohioans for Health Care Freedom, now renamed Ohio Rising — ‘it went through just fine,’ Littleton said. ‘They never asked a single set of questions.’”
After the Greater Phoenix Tea Party Patriots sent in their application, it took two years for the IRS to respond. The IRS response included 35 questions. When the group’s cofounder called the IRS, the IRS agent claimed that he had their group’s file right in front of him. But when the group’s confounder asked the IRS agent a question, the IRS agent asked, “What’s your group’s name again?”
Tea Party groups who spoke with each other said they were all getting the same questions from the IRS.
The Washington Post reported that some IRS employees were “ignorant about tax laws, defiant of their supervisors, and blind to the appearance of impropriety.”
In 2012, the IRS leaked confidential information about Mitt Romney to the co-chairman of President Obama’s re-election committee.
For a 27 month period that began in February 2010, the IRS gave exactly zero approvals to Tea Party organizations that had sent in applications. During that same time period, numerous liberal organizations with names including words such as “progress” or “progressive” did get approval.
After True the Vote, a conservative organization which was founded by Catherine Engelbrecht, sent its application to the IRS, the IRS went three years without responding. During that three year period, Engelbrecht and her family’s small manufacturing business were audited by the IRS, and were investigated by OSHA, the ATF, and the FBI.
Democratic U.S. Senators pressured the IRS to target conservative groups. In May 2013, U.S. News & World Report wrote:
“Over the last three years, Democratic senators repeatedly and publicly pressured the IRS to engage in the very activities that they are only now condemning today. At the same time, Republicans repeatedly and publicly warned against this abuse of government power and pointed to a series of red flags that strongly suggested conservative political organizations were being targeted by the IRS. Those warnings were deliberately ignored by the Obama administration and Democratic leaders in Congress.”
“From Max Baucus to Chuck Schumer to Jeanne Shaheen, key Senate Democrats publicly pressured the IRS to target groups that held differing political views and who, in their view, had the temerity to engage in the political process. The IRS listened to them and acted.”
In order to get approval, the IRS required members of Coalition for Life of Iowa, a pro-life organization, to sign a promise to avoid protesting in front of Planned Parenthood.
The IRS asked Christian Voices for Life, a pro-life organization, questions about its prayer vigils.
According to the official White House visitor’s log, during Obama’s first four years as President, IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman made 157 visits to the White House. This is more visits to the White House – by a very large margin – than any other cabinet member during Obama’s first term. By comparison, during the four years that Mark Everson was IRS commissioner when Bush was president, Everson made only one visit to the White House.
Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in October 2004.
During Congressional testimony that had taken place in March 2012, Shulman falsely said that the IRS had not targeted conservative groups.
Shulman’s wife, Susan L. Anderson, is the senior program advisor for Public Campaign, a liberal organization. The Dailer Caller wrote of this group:
Public Campaign receives “major funding” from the pro-Obamacare alliance Health Care for America NOW!, which is comprised of the labor unions AFL-CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, and the progressive activist organization Move On, among others.
Public Campaign also receives funding from the liberal Ford Foundation, the Common Cause Education Fund, and Barbra Streisand’s The Streisand Foundation, among other foundations and private donors.
Stephen Seok was one of the IRS agents who wrote threatening letters to conservative groups. After doing so, he was given a promotion.
In June 2013, it was reported that two IRS employees had violated government ethics rules at a 2010 conference when they received $1,100 in free food and other items. One of them was Fred Schindler, the director of implementation oversight at the IRS Affordable Care Act office. The other was Donald Toda, a California-based employee. Obama did not fire them. Instead, he gave both of them paid leave. By comparison, in 1981, President Reagan fired 11,359 air-traffic controllers who had been illegally striking.
In June 2013, it was reported that The National Organization for Marriage, a conservative organization, had forensic evidence which proved that its donors’ private information had been illegally leaked by the IRS. The IRS employee(s) who illegally leaked this private information could get five years in prison.
In July 2013, it was reported that Obama had met with a key IRS official who was involved in the targeting just two days before the key official had told his colleagues how to target tea party groups. The Daily Caller reported:
The Obama appointee implicated in congressional testimony in the IRS targeting scandal met with President Obama in the White House two days before offering his colleagues a new set of advice on how to scrutinize tea party and conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.
IRS chief counsel William Wilkins, who was named in House Oversight testimony by retiring IRS agent Carter Hull as one of his supervisors in the improper targeting of conservative groups, met with Obama in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on April 23, 2012. Wilkins’ boss, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, visited the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on April 24, 2012, according to White House visitor logs.
On April 25, 2012, Wilkins’ office sent the exempt organizations determinations unit “additional comments on the draft guidance” for approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to the IRS inspector general’s report.
Jon Stewart said of this:
“Well, congratulations, President Barack Obama. Conspiracy theorists who generally can survive in anaerobic environments have just had an algae bloom dropped on their f***ing heads, thus removing the last arrow in your pro-governance quiver: skepticism about your opponents.”
Michael Macleod-Ball, chief of staff at the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office, said of this:
“Even the appearance of playing partisan politics with the tax code is about as constitutionally troubling as it gets. With the recent push to grant federal agencies broad new powers to mandate donor disclosure for advocacy groups on both the left and the right, there must be clear checks in place to prevent this from ever happening again.”
171) Spent $402,721 on underwear that detects the presence of cigarette smoke
In May 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $402,721 on underwear that detects the presence of cigarette smoke.
172) Rewarded one of his biggest campaign fundraisers by nominating him for the ambassadorship to Canada
In April 2013, it was reported that Obama had nominated Bruce Heyman to be the ambassador to Canada. During Obama’s election campaign, Heyman had raised more than $1 million for Obama.
173) Hired a retarded man to sell illegal drugs and guns, and then arrested him for doing so
In April 2013, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported:
“ATF agents running an undercover storefront in Milwaukee used a brain-damaged man with a low IQ to set up gun and drug deals, paying him in cigarettes, merchandise and money, according to federal documents obtained by the Journal Sentinel.”
“For more than six months, federal agents relied on Chauncey Wright to promote ‘Fearless Distributing’ by handing out fliers as he rode his bike around town recommending the store to friends, family and strangers, according to federal prosecutors and family members.”
“Wright, unaware that the store was an undercover operation being run by agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, also stocked shelves with shoes, clothing, drug paraphernalia and auto parts, according to his family.”
“Once authorities shut down the operation, they charged the 28-year-old man with federal gun and drug counts.”
“Wright’s IQ measures in the 50s, about half of a normal IQ, according to those familiar with him. Wright’s score is classified as mildly or moderately disabled, depending on the IQ scale used.”
174) Secretly obtained phone records from Associated Press reporters and editors
In May 2013, Associated Press reported:
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.
“There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,” Pruitt said.
Soon afterward, it was reported that obtaining these phone records had required approval from Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General.
This has had a very dangerous and harmful effect on the media’s ability to report the news. In June 2013, Gary Pruitt, the president and chief executive of Associated Press said:
“Some longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking with us… In some cases, government employees we once checked in with regularly will no longer speak to us by phone. Others are reluctant to meet in person … This chilling effect on newsgathering is not just limited to AP… Journalists from other news organizations have personally told me that it has intimidated both official and nonofficial sources from speaking to them as well.”
175) Asked contractors to disclose their political donations before bidding on government contracts
In April 2011, Obama asked contractors to disclose their political donations before bidding on government contracts.
176) Tried to deport German family that had fled Germany over Hitler’s ban on homeschooling
In Germany in 1938, Adolf Hitler outlawed homeschooling. He said “Give me a child when he’s seven and he’s mine forever.”
Hitler’s ban on homeschooling is still in effect today. In 2006, Katharina Plett was arrested for homeschooling her own children. Her husband and their children fled the country. In 2008, Juergen and Rosemary Dudek were sentenced to 90 days in jail for homeschooling their own children.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their homeschooled children fled Germany after the police showed up at their house to enforce Germany’s ban on homeschooling. They came to the United States in 2010 and were granted political asylum, which gave them legal permission to live in the U.S. as political refugees However, in March 2013, the Obama administration argued in federal court in favor of deporting them and sending them back to Germany. This means that Obama does not consider them to be political refugees, and that he does not consider Germany’s policy of jailing homeschooling parents to be a form of persecution.
177) Said, “We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends”
Obama said (the bolding is mine)
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it’s going to be harder. And that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd.”
This is a rare instance of a promise that Obama has actually kept instead of broken. A huge number of the things on this list can be explained by that one simple sentence that Obama said.
178) Falsely accused a law abiding news reporter of being “an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator” in a criminal investigation
James Rosen is a law abiding reporter for Fox News. However, the Obama administration falsely labeled him as “an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator” in a criminal investigation when it applied for a warrant to read his emails.
The New York Times wrote of this:
With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible “co-conspirator” in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news.
Leak investigations usually focus on the source, not the reporter. But, in this case, federal prosecutors also asked a federal judge for permission to examine Mr. Rosen’s personal e-mails, arguing that “there is probable cause to believe” Mr. Rosen is “an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator” in the leak.
Though Mr. Rosen was not charged, the F.B.I. request for his e-mail account was granted secretly in late May 2010. The government was allowed to rummage through Mr. Rosen’s e-mails for at least 30 days.
Michael Clemente, the executive vice president of Fox News, said on Monday that it was “downright chilling” that Mr. Rosen “was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter.” Bruce Brown, the executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, added on Tuesday that treating “routine news-gathering efforts as evidence of criminality is extremely troubling and corrodes time-honored understandings between the public and the government about the role of the free press.”
Obama administration officials often talk about the balance between protecting secrets and protecting the constitutional rights of a free press. Accusing a reporter of being a “co-conspirator”… shows a heavy tilt toward secrecy and insufficient concern about a free press.
The Washington Post wrote of this:
The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administration, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Richard Nixon could only have dreamed of.
To treat a reporter as a criminal for doing his job — seeking out information the government doesn’t want made public — deprives Americans of the First Amendment freedom on which all other constitutional rights are based. Guns? Privacy? Due process? Equal protection? If you can’t speak out, you can’t defend those rights, either.
Beyond that, the administration’s actions shatter the president’s credibility and discourage allies who would otherwise defend the administration against bogus accusations such as those involving the Benghazi “talking points.” If the administration is spying on reporters and accusing them of criminality just for asking questions — well, who knows what else this crowd is capable of doing?
My Post colleague Ann E. Marimow, who broke the Rosen story, obtained the affidavit by FBI agent Reginald Reyes seeking access to Rosen’s private e-mails. In the affidavit, Reyes stated that “there is probable cause to believe that the reporter has committed or is committing a violation” of the law against national security leaks. The affidavit detailed how the FBI had monitored Rosen’s comings and goings from the State Department and tracked his various phone calls with the suspected leaker, analyst Stephen Jin-Woo Kim.
Rosen’s supposed crime? Reyes got his evidence from an e-mail from the reporter: “I want to report authoritatively, and ahead of my competitors, on new initiatives or shifts in U.S. policy, events on the ground in [North Korea], what intelligence is picking up, etc. . . . I’d love to see some internal State Department analyses. . . . In short: Let’s break some news, and expose muddle-headed policy when we see it, or force the administration’s hand to go in the right direction, if possible.”
That is indeed compelling evidence — of good journalism.
Obama is establishing an ominous precedent.…
rious began in October 2009.
126) Is a “war criminal” who is “more aggressive, more illegal worldwide” than Bush, according to Ralph Nader
In September 2012, Ralph Nader said that Obama was a “war criminal” who was “more aggressive, more illegal worldwide” than George W. Bush.
127) Illegally refused to fire Kathleen Sebelius after she violated campaign finance laws
In February 2012, Kathleen Sebelius, Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, violated campaign finance laws. Although federal law required Obama to fire Sebelius for her illegal activity, he refused to do so.
128) Supports policies that hurt small businesses
In September 2012, a survery of small business owners showed that 69% of them said that Obama’s regulatory policies have hurt small businesses. 55% said that they would not start a business under the current environment.
129) Spent $102,000 per year of taxpayer money on a “dog handler”
In September 2012, it was reported that Obama spent $102,000 of taxpayer money each year on a “dog handler.”
130) Refused to fire federal employee who sent email to 17,000 people praising terrorist who wanted to destroy U.S.
In 2012, an employee of Obama’s administration sent an email to more than 17,000 federal employees which praised Che Guevara, a terrorist who had wanted to destroy the U.S. Obama refused to fire the employee.
131) Called Fort Hood shooting “workplace violence” instead of “Islamic terrorism”
After Nidal Malik Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar!” and murdered 13 people on U.S. soil, instead of referring to it as “Islamic terrorism,” Obama said that it was “workplace violence.”
132) Falsely said that switching to electronic medical records would make health care cheaper
Although Obama claimed that switching to electronic record keeping as part of Obamacare would make health care cheaper, it actually made it more expensive.
133) Spent $495,000 of “stimulus” money for ads on MSNBC
Obama spent $495,000 of “stimulus” money for commercials on MSNBC.
134) Lied about the cost of federal regulations
In September 2012, it was reported that the cost of federal regulations to citizens and business owners was more than 20 times as much as what Obama had said it was.
135) Broke his promise to pass immigration bill, and then lied about why he broke it
In 2008, Obama promised that he would pass an immigration bill during his first year in office. He broke that promise. He then blamed this on Republicans, even though both the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats during Obama’s first year.
136) Made it much harder for start ups to raise capital and create jobs
In July 2010, Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act. The Wall St. Journal wrote of this:
“Senator Chris Dodd’s 1,400-page financial reform bill contains many economic land mines, and here’s one of the worst: Provisions that would make it harder for business start-ups to raise seed capital.”
“Currently, wealthy individuals who want to invest directly in a new business can do so with minimum interference from regulators. The law requires only that the investor be “accredited” by meeting thresholds for net worth ($1 million) or income ($250,000). Entrepreneurs depend on these “angel” investors, since many new businesses lack the collateral for bank loans and are too small to interest venture capitalists. “
“Amazon, Yahoo, Google and Facebook all benefited from angel investors, who typically target companies under five years old. According to a 2009 Kaufman Foundation study, such firms are less than 1% of all companies yet generate about 10% of new jobs. Between 1980 and 2005, companies less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the U.S. In 2008, angels invested some $19 billion in more than 55,000 companies. “
“Mr. Dodd’s bill would change all this for the worse. Most preposterously, it would require that start-ups seeking angel investments file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and endure a 120-day review. Rare is the new company that doesn’t need immediate access to the capital it raises, and a four-month delay is the kind of rule popular in banana republics that create few new businesses. “
“The Dodd bill also raises the net worth and income thresholds to $2.3 million and $450,000, respectively. The Angel Capital Association, a trade group, estimates that these provisions would disqualify about 77% of current accredited investors.”
137) Paid six figure salaries to federal employees so they could watch pornography all day long
In April 2010, ABC News reported:
“On a day when President Obama argued for more government regulation over the financial industry, a new government report reveals that some high-level regulators have spent more time looking at porn than policing Wall Street. “
“The Securities and Exchange Commission is supposed to be the sheriff of the financial industry, looking for financial crimes like Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. But the new report, obtained by ABC News, says senior employees of the SEC spent hours on the commission’s computers looking at sites like naughty.com, skankwire, youporn, and others. “
“The investigation, which was conducted by the SEC’s internal watchdog at the request of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, found 31 serious offenders over the past two and a half years. Seventeen of the offenders were senior SEC officers with salaries ranging from $100,000 to $222,000 per year. “
“Eight Hours a Day Spent on Porn Sites”
“One senior attorney at SEC headquarters in Washington spent up to eight hours a day accessing Internet porn. When he filled all the space on his government computer with pornographic images, he downloaded more to CDs and DVDs that accumulated in boxes in his offices. “
“An SEC accountant attempted to access porn websites 1,800 times in a two-week period and had 600 pornographic images on her computer hard drive.”
“Another SEC accountant attempted to access porn sites 16,000 times in a single month.”
138) Spent tax dollars on a “mindreader”
Obama used taxpayer money to hire a “mindreader.”
139) Used tax dollars to build a million dollar bus stop
Obama spent federal tax dollars to pay for part of the cost of a million dollar bus stop which opened in Arlington, Virginia in March 2013. Despite its huge cost, the bus stop can only accommodate 15 people, and does not even protect them from the wind and rain.
140) Filed a lawsuit against a non-existent “monopoly” in the beer industry
Although the number of breweries in the U.S. increased from 89 to 2,336 between 1978 and 2013, the Obama administration sued Anheuser-Busch InBev, which already owned half of Mexico’s Grupo Modelo, to prevent if from buying the other half, despite the fact that there were no laws on the books against such a purchase. The Obama administration’s so-called justification for this lawsuit against a law abiding company was that the company might, possibly, maybe, break some unspecified law, at some unspecified, distant point in the future.
141) Falsely said the sequester would cause janitors to take a pay cut
In February 2013, while talking about the sequester, Obama said
“The folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol — now that Congress has left, somebody is going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage — they’re going to have less pay… The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they’ve got to figure out how to manage that. That’s real.”
CBS News reported that Obama’s statement was false.
142) Falsely said that he goes skeet shooting “all the time”
At the beginning of Obama’s second term, he said that he goes skeet shooting “all the time.” However, a witness said that when he saw Obama go skeet shooting, Obama acted as if he had never fired a gun before, that he appeared to be uncomfortable with a gun, and that he only stayed for five minutes. In addition, during his first term, the media had never reported on his alleged skeet shooting, although it never failed to cover the more than 100 rounds of golf that he played during his first term.
143) Gave special access to people who raised or donated $500,000
In February 2013, the New York Times reported that people who raised or donated at least $500,000 to Organizing for Action, a political group that supported Obama, would be given “the privilege of attending quarterly meetings with the president, along with other meetings at the White House.”
144) Said the deficit had gone down when it had actually gone up
In February 2013, Obama said that the federal deficit had gone down by $2.5 trillion since he had taken office. In reality, it had actually increased by $5.9 trillion during that time.
145) Refused to make available necessary tax forms to taxpayers
On February 21, 2013, CBS News reported that the Obama administration had not yet made available dozens of different tax forms that taxpayers would need in order to meet the legal deadline of April 15 for filing their taxes.
146) Nominated someone to be Secretary of the Treasury who had participated in “the biggest tax scam on record”
Obama nominated Jack Lew to be Secretary of the Treasury. Lew had previously invested in the Cayman Islands, which Obama had referred to as “the biggest tax scam on record.”
147) Adopted harmful new restrictions on prescription painkillers – even though the House had already voted against them
After the U.S. House voted against new restrictions on prescription painkillers, the Obama administration ignored the House’s vote, and adopted the new restrictions anyway. Dr. Lynn Webster, president-elect of the American Academy of Pain Medicine said of these new restrictions, “It will have an impact on a lot of patients who have been receiving them for some time for legitimate purposes.”
148) Rolled back union transparency rules
The Obama administration rolled back union transparency rules, which had been created so that union members could find out how their union was spending their union dues.
149) Tried to eliminate workers’ right to a secret ballot when voting on whether or not to unionize
Obama supported the elimination of workers’ right to a secret ballot when voting on whether or not to form a union
150) Gave “supervised release” to a convicted criminal who later went on to murder a nun
Obama gave “supervised release” to a convicted criminal, who then went on to murder a nun.
151) Falsely said that he did not propose the sequester
On October 22, 2012, Obama said, “The sequester is not something that I’ve proposed.” However, on February 22, 2013, the Washington Post reported that “the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House” and that “Obama personally approved of the plan.”
152) Illegally refused to submit a budget on time during four of his first five years
The President is legally required to submit a budget by the first Monday in February. Obama broke this law during four of his first five years in office. Since 1921, no President had missed this deadline more than once.
153) Canceled White House tours for thousands of people so he could use the money to play golf with Tiger Woods
During the sequester in early 2013, the Obama administration said it would save $18,000 per week by cancelling all White house tours, despite the fact that thousands of people had planned their vacations far in advance. However, Obama had no problem with spending more than $1 million in tax money so he could go golfing with Tiger Woods for one weekend.
154) Falsely said the Newton shooter used a “fully automatic weapon”
In April 2013, four months after Adam Lanza murdered 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Obama falsely stated that the shooter had used a “fully automatic weapon.”
155) Broke his own deadline for creating healthcare exchanges
Three years after Obama signed Obamacare, the New York Times reported that Obama would miss his own deadline for creating some of the insurance exchanges for small businesses.
156) Falsely said that surgeons get paid between $30,000 and $50,000 for amputating a leg
In August 2009, while trying to justify the passage of Obamacare, Obama stated
“Let’s take the example of something like diabetes, one of — a disease that’s skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it’s not treated as effectively as it could be. Right now if we paid a family — if a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they’re taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance. But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that’s $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 — immediately the surgeon is reimbursed. Well, why not make sure that we’re also reimbursing the care that prevents the amputation, right? That will save us money.”
The American College of Surgeons responded to this by saying
“President Obama got his facts completely wrong. He stated that a surgeon gets paid $50,000 for a leg amputation when, in fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a leg amputation. This payment also includes the evaluation of the patient on the day of the operation plus patient follow-up care that is provided for 90 days after the operation. Private insurers pay some variation of the Medicare reimbursement for this service.”
157) Falsely said that doctors perform unnecessary tonsillectomies to make more money In July 2009, Obama said
“Right now, doctors, a lot of times, are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that’s out there. So if … your child has a bad sore throat, or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, ‘You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out.’”
“Now, that may be the right thing to do. But I’d rather have that doctor making those decisions just based on whether you really need your kid’s tonsils out or whether it might make more sense just to change — maybe they have allergies. Maybe they have something else that would make a difference.”
The American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery responded by saying
“The AAO-HNS is disappointed by the President’s portrayal of the decision making processes by the physicians who perform these surgeries. In many cases, tonsillectomy may be a more effective treatment, and less costly, than prolonged or repeated treatments for an infected throat.”
158) Purchased 2,717 mine resistant armor protected vehicles for use on civilian streets in the U.S.
In March 2013 it was reported that the Obama administration had purchased 2,717 mine resistant armor protected vehicles for use on civilian streets in the U.S.
159) Spends $277,050 per year for three professional calligraphists
In March 2013, it was reported that Obama was spending $277,050 of tax money per year for three professional calligraphists. It was also reported that cheap computer software could produce the exact same calligraphy for a tiny fraction of that cost.
160) Allowed 311,566 federal employees and retirees to get away with $3.5 billion in unpaid federal taxes
In 2011, Obama allowed 311,566 federal employees and retirees to get away with $3.5 billion in unpaid federal taxes.
161) Spent $2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink responsibly on the job
Obama spent $2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink responsibly on the job.
162) Fined UPS $40 million because some of its customers had used UPS to ship illegal drugs
In March 2013, Obama forced UPS to pay $40 million because some of its customers had used UPS to ship illegal drugs.
163) Added 20,000 extra pages to Obamacare without Congressional approval
After Obamacare was passed, Obama added 20,000 extra pages to it, even though those extra 20,000 pages had not been voted on by Congress.
164 ) Signed health care reform law whose own authors called it a “huge train wreck” that was “beyond comprehension”
U.S. Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana), one of the authors of Obamacare, said of it, “I just see a huge train wreck coming down.”
U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia), another author of the law, said it was “beyond comprehension.”
165) Eliminated disclosure requirements for most federal employees in the executive and legislative branches
In April 2013, Obama eliminated the disclosure requirements for most federal employees in the executive and legislative branches.
166) Waited until after the 2012 election to release unpopular Obamacare rules
In April 2013, the New York Times reported:
… even fervent supporters of the law admit that things are going worse than expected.
… the Obama administration didn’t want to release unpopular rules before the election.
Everything is turning out to be more complicated than originally envisioned.
A law that was very confusing has become mind-boggling… Americans are just going to be overwhelmed and befuddled. Many are just going to stay away, even if they are eligible for benefits.
167) Made it easy for people to fraudulently collect $50,000 by falsely claiming to be “farmers”
In April 2013, the New York Times reported
the Obama administration’s political appointees at the Justice and Agriculture Departments engineered a stunning turnabout: they committed $1.33 billion to compensate…
The deal… was fashioned in White House meetings… the $50,000 payouts to black farmers had proved a magnet for fraud.
the claims process prompted allegations of widespread fraud and criticism that its very design encouraged people to lie… Agriculture Department reviewers found reams of suspicious claims, from nursery-school-age children and pockets of urban dwellers, sometimes in the same handwriting with nearly identical accounts of discrimination.
As a senator, Barack Obama supported expanding compensation for black farmers, and then as president he pressed for $1.15 billion to pay those new claims.
In 16 ZIP codes in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and North Carolina, the number of successful claimants exceeded the total number of farms operated by people of any race in 1997, the year the lawsuit was filed. Those applicants received nearly $100 million.
In Maple Hill, a struggling town in southeastern North Carolina, the number of people paid was nearly four times the total number of farms. More than one in nine African-American adults there received checks. In Little Rock, Ark., a confidential list of payments shows, 10 members of one extended family collected a total of $500,000, and dozens of other successful claimants shared addresses, phone numbers or close family connections.
In Arkansas, prosecutors rejected a test case against a Pine Bluff police officer who had admitted lying on his claim form.
in one ZIP code in Columbus, Ohio, nearly everyone in two adjoining apartment buildings had filed, according to the former high-ranking agency official.
She cinched the claim, he said to a ripple of laughter, by asserting that her father had whispered on his deathbed, “I was discriminated against by U.S.D.A.”
168) Tried to rig federal auctions of radio spectrum space
In April 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration was trying to rig federal auctions of radio spectrum space in a manner that would favor Sprint and T-Mobile, and make it harder for AT&T and Verizon.
169) Put someone in jail for making an anti-Muslim video
In May 2013, Politico reported:
“Nakoula Basseley Nakoula deserves a place in American history. He is the first person in this country jailed for violating Islamic anti-blasphemy laws.”
“You won’t find that anywhere in the charges against him, of course. As a practical matter, though, everyone knows that Nakoula wouldn’t be in jail today if he hadn’t produced a video crudely lampooning the prophet Muhammad.”
“In the weeks after the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, the Obama administration claimed the terrorist assault had been the outgrowth of a demonstration against the Nakoula video. The administration ran public service announcements in Pakistan featuring President Barack Obama saying the U.S. had nothing to do with it. In a speech at the United Nations around this time, the president declared — no doubt with Nakoula in mind — ‘The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.’”
“After Benghazi, the administration was evidently filled with a fierce resolve — to bring Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to justice. Charles Woods, the father of a Navy SEAL killed in Benghazi, said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told him when his son’s body returned to Andrews Air Force Base: ‘We will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.’”
“Lo and behold, Nakoula was brought in for questioning by five Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies at midnight, eventually arrested and held without bond, and finally thrown into jail for a year. He sits in La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Texas right now, even as the deceptive spin that blamed his video for the Benghazi attack looks more egregious by the day.”

PROPOSED SECOND DECLARATION OF CAUSES
PROLOGUE
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.
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.
“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
Thomas Jefferson
Before we continue, it should be noted that when the first Declaration of Causes was penned, the American Colonists had already taken up arms against King George and the Parliament of England. This is a circumstance WE THE PEOPLE hope to avoid now, and in the near future, in penning this Second Declaration of Causes.
This Second Declaration of Causes is intended as one last documented proof of WE THE PEOPLE having exhausted all of our peaceful remedies against this growing injustice and tyranny. This is in accordance with Natural Law's Social Contract and the road map the American Declaration of Independence provides WE THE PEOPLE for confronting our government's (and any other country's people, their government's), “long train of abuses, prevarications, artifices and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object evincing a design to reduce it citizens under absolute despotism”.
“The strength of the Constitution, lies in the will of the people to defend it.”
Thomas Edison

GENERAL STATEMENT OF CAUSE
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:
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, WE THE PEOPLE must require from our elected officials, their moneyed benefactors and our present government of the United States of America some evidence, that this dreadful authority over them has been granted to those people and that body. 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, to preserve the unalienable Natural Rights of the Individual, to allow each individual to enjoy greater liberty than they would have in the chaos of the pre-government natural state, and ought to be administered for the attainment of that end.
The three branches of our current Government of these United States of America, however, stimulated by an inordinate passion for a power, not only unjustifiable, but which they know to be peculiarly reprobated by every individual’s Unalienable Natural Rights, Natural Law's Social Contract and the very Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights of our country, and desperate of success in any mode of contest where regard should be had to truth, law, or right, have at length, deserting those, attempted to effect their cruel and impolitick purpose of enslaving WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America through calculated and incremental infringement of our Unalienable Natural Rights, Natural Law's Social Contract, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights by duplicity, misdirection, prevarications, pretext, propaganda, censorship, indoctrination, conditioning, evil application of advances in psychology and other sciences, the wrongfully resurrected “Rule of Man”, and actual traditional violence, and/or threat of, individual, local and/or widespread violence, and have thereby rendered it necessary for us to present one last attempt at peaceful remedy to our government’s LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES, PREVARICATIONS, ARTIFICIES AND USURPATIONS PURSUING INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCING A DESIGN TO REDUCE WE THE PEOPLE UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM, before we consider alternative remedies. Yet, however blinded our present government may be, by their intemperate rage for unlimited domination, so to slight justice and the opinion of mankind, we esteem ourselves bound, by obligations of respect to the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our cause.
With the general nature and Causes of our grievances now outlined, WE THE PEOPLE shall continue to delineate our causes and grievances in a manner reflecting Founder Thomas Jefferson’s explanation as to the need for, and the intent of, the Declaration of Independence:
“To place before mankind the common sense of the subject in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent.”
Thomas Jefferson
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.
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, 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. 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”); 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 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.
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)
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,
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.
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:
To document in detail our Causes to all of the American General Public, the World and for Posterity; A task which will make our Second Declaration of Causes necessarily longer than the First Declaration of Causes in that the Founder's did not delineate all of their Causes, instead asserting the following short passage in their Declaration of Causes:
“But why should we enumerate our injuries in detail? By one statute it is declared that Parliament can 'of right make laws to bind us in all cases whatsoever.'”;
Our Present Oppressor Government dare not make such bold and rash assertions, knowing they almost certainly would provoke and precipitate violent resistance;
To inform, educate and instill into the American generations less than 35 years old, the knowledge, vision, attitude, perspective of reality and metaphysical http://t.co/6NUfv258QI context of the Founders. Information and context which our Government and the Tyrant Class has been deliberately working to remove from new generations and the “Public Sphere”;
To inform, educate and instill into our largely unchecked influx of immigrants, the knowledge, vision, attitude, perspective of reality and metaphysical context of our Founders, which they were most often not exposed to in their native countries;
To provide continuity, by explaining to younger generations, and new immigrants, the source of our Causes, grievances and concerns that were implemented and/or initiated before they were born or arrived, and/or before they personally possessed sufficient cognition or
awareness of America, and the world, to be aware of them and thereby, document to these younger generations the LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES, PREVARICATIONS, ARTIFICIES AND USURPATIONS PURSUING INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCING A DESIGN TO REDUCE WE THE PEOPLE UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM that predate their own existence and/or awareness;
To explain and connect the numerous small, incremental and calculated trespasses by our Government, some of which stretch back 100 or more years, to all of our fellow citizens in order to reveal to all the LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES, PREVARICATIONS, ARTIFICIES AND USURPATIONS PURSUING INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCING A DESIGN TO REDUCE WE THE PEOPLE UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM committed by our Oppressors, which give rise to many of our various Causes within this Declaration;
To document and explain many of our past petitions and attempts to obtain peaceful remedy for our various legitimate Causes, grievances and Concerns from our Government, to establish to younger generations the requisite documentation of having EXHAUSTED ALL OF OUR PEACEFUL REMEDIES should this Declaration of Causes fail in its purpose of obtaining peaceful redress of our Causes, Grievances and Concerns;
To restore the General Public's Perspective of Reality, which has been deliberately and wrongfully skewed through censorship and propaganda by Main Stream Media(MSM) with the help of the Indoctrination of the masses in Public Schools (#1.1), Engineering of Consent (#1.9) and Conditioning(#1.16); all to aid and abet the government's and/or the Tyrant Class's expansion of tyranny and/or infringement of our Liberty;
To explain our current imperfect understanding of certain liberty and security affecting rumors which negatively impact our Natural Right(s), including our Natural Right to be “Secure in our Persons”. Our Government heretofore as failed to satisfactorily address and/or redress these rumors. And, we present them in this Declaration of Causes in a manner requiring our Government affirm or deny the truth of these rumors, and redress those affirmed rumors which adversely affect the unalienable Natural Rights, and/or the best interests, of WE THE PEOPLE;
To reveal the true purpose, intent, objectives and goals of a myriad of seemingly unrelated actions, activities, events, policies and programs by government which give rise to our Causes, grievances and Concerns. This is necessary as “non-disclosure” and “non-transparency” is part and parcel of our Government's strategy to not alarm the masses. Unlike almost all other groups of people and organizations (e.g. clubs, teams, unions, corporations, etc.) our Government has not truthfully and plainly laid out its Goals and Objectives, nor the activities necessary to achieve those goals and objectives. WE THE PEOPLE assert that our Government operates in this undisclosed, seemingly disjointed manner because its actual goals and objectives, being nefarious and unconstitutional, would raise alarm, resistance and revolt amongst WE THE PEOPLE;
To expose to the masses the false and/or contrived foundations and underpinnings of the metaphysical paradigm shift our Government and Tyrant Class are trying to inflict upon the
masses in trying to create a metaphysical revolution(paradigm shift) whose true intent is to cause the masses to “happily”(or, at least with less resistance) accept a degree of enslavement similar to that they “resentfully” endured under the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings”;
To address and calm the cynicism and distrust within the masses currently directed at each other. This division has deliberately inflicted upon WE THE PEOPLE by our Government and the Tyrant Class via their “Divide and Conquer, Distract and Misdirect” tactics and strategy. It is our intent to redirect that cynicism and distrust towards our Government and the Tyrant Class;
To reassure a skeptical and divided General Public of our intentions and integrity by delineating our Causes and intentions in detail now, especially as is necessary to put the General Public as ease, to attract new patriots and to retain, uplift and motivate supporters.
WE THE PEOPLE are confident our fellow citizens and the world will understand and appreciate the necessary length of this Declaration upon reading the details, facts, nuances, explanations, documentation unraveling our Government's and the Tyrant Class's prevarications explained and exposed herein. The reader having been so apprised, we shall proceed.

ENLIGHTENING RETROSPECTIVE
WE THE PEOPLE have mentioned that our Government and Tyrant Class have learned from errors of King George and the Parliament of England. WE THE PEOPLE assert that our present oppressor government and the Tyrant Class have been working to resurrect the former wealth, power, control and influence of Kings for themselves. 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”. Yet, under our current laws and level of “contamination”, there is little or nothing our Government and the Tyrant Class can do to erase what they wrongfully term “contaminating” knowledge from those already “contaminated” with it.
This “contaminating” knowledge poses a huge problem for the intent and design of our oppressor government and the Tyrant Class. This retained knowledge causes older generations of Americans to be naturally and innately alarmed and prepared to hear a call to action when they sense an encroachment of their liberty. An encroachment of our liberties we have already have seen and experienced. Let's take this opportunity to briefly depart from our “enlightening” discussion to remind our oppressors of the magnitude of the problem this “contaminating” knowledge represents to them. Armed with our awareness of their trespass,s and the knowledge and attitude of our Founders; Our Oppressors are, once again, hereby warned; “No matter how slowly, and/or stealthily, you try to enslave us, infringe upon our Unalienable Natural Rights and/or otherwise violate the Social Contract, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, it is still TREASON, subject to all the punishments and retributions pursuant to American Law and Natural Law, applicable therein!”
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
Thomas Jefferson
With that pent-up Founder's angst released and temporarily assuaged, let us return to the task at hand. 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 http://t.co/22u1aKV0ee. 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.
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.)
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.
As we already mentioned, those of us aware of our Government's increasing oppression, and who would resist it, find ourselves at great disadvantage relative to the Founders. 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.
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.”
Edmund Burke
For this reason we deduce our present attempts at peaceful remedy require we provide younger Americans, as well as the more recent American immigrants(both legal and illegal), and the world, with a summary review of America's history and the Foundational Elements of our Representative, Constitutionally Limited, Republic. We believe this background knowledge and metaphysical context is necessary to endow them with the insight necessary to understand why various of our Government's actions give rise to our causes, grievances and reasons for our alarm. Further, in so doing we will construct an effective, compelling and inspiring Second Declaration of Causes.
“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson
We find it easiest to begin educating the masses regarding the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and Metaphysical context of the Founders by summarizing the fundamental reasons for the First American Revolution. 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:
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).
The King owned all land. 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.
Further, the King was the final arbiter of Justice. Instead of the “Rule of Law” http://t.co/f6bNrP63Zj, Justice most often occurred in the fashion of the “Rule of Man” http://bit.ly/1EPjPkK. There is no Due Process. The Subject, their home and their work can be searched and/or seized anytime.
The King (and the Church) Established Truth for the masses. 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,
superstition and Religious dogma (Indoctrination) defined a King's subjects’ Perception of Reality. 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.
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.
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. These persons of privilege had many titles, among them Nobles, Lords and/or Aristocrats. In turn, the Aristocrats collected taxes from any person living and/or working upon the land they had been granted by the King.
After centuries of Rule by Kings in Western Europe, Thomas Hobbes(1588-1679) published his book The Leviathan (1660) http://bit.ly/1ymNhvq. Hobbes, 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.
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 http://bit.ly/1zhTioq), 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.
The scientific discoveries of the physical world during the Renaissance(circa 1300-1700), inspired the masses to begin thinking for themselves. This “self-thinking” often challenged church dogma.
Copernicus's (1473-1543) allegedly delayed publishing his book book challenging the Church supported Ptolemaic Solar System out of concern for Church retribution. It was not published until after his death. Recall the problems of with certain “truths” established by the Church and Spanish State that Christopher Columbus, faced before rediscovering the New World in 1492. 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”;
1632 - After his recantation that the earth moves around the sun:
"Eppur si muove." (But it does move.)
Galileo Galilei
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 http://bit.ly/1JCcia7, 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.)
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.

"The end of law is, not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom."
John Locke
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.
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.
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”.
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.
The American Colonists' Declaration of Causes evidenced their attempts to reconcile Natural Law and Natural Rights with the Divine Right of Kings Governance Doctrine. The refusal of King George and the Parliament of England to reach an accommodation with the American Colonists was the
cause of the First American Revolution. Evidence that the American Revolution was more about ridding themselves of the metaphysics of, and Governance under, the Divine Right of Kings, as opposed to a collection of unrelated grievances can be found in this passage:
“By one statute it is declared that Parliament can 'of right make laws to bind us in all cases whatsoever.'”
American Colonists', “first” Declaration of Causes
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.
Following the American Revolution, the Founders replaced the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings with the Governance Doctrine, now better referred to as “The Social Contract”, of “Consent of the Governed”. “Social Contract” better describes the individuals and the masses relationship with Government from the Metaphysical context of the Founders. Again, both “The Social Contract” and “Consent of the Governed” are concepts derived from Natural Law and Natural Rights. (Proof that our country was founded on Natural Law, Natural Rights, The Social Contract and Consent of the Governed may be found here http://t.co/rZswNupbeO )
“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” Americans, just as Turks, Russians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, or any other people, may assert their independence, “shake off the yoke of servitude,” and “model their government, upon the principles of civil liberty.”
Alexander Hamilton (1775)
The metaphysical beliefs of our Founder's are embodied in their Declaration of Causes, the Declaration of Independence, our American Constitution and our Bill of Rights. The Founder’s believed and asserted that the purpose of government was to protect the individual citizen's Unalienable Natural Rights and, in so doing, to allow the individual to enjoy more liberty than the Individual would have experienced in the chaos/anarchy of the pre-government Natural State. 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
Establish Truth for themselves as to whether Natural Law and Natural Rights are an innate quality of being human or bestowed upon humanity by a Deity.)
The many problems and impracticality of the Articles of Confederation (1781) http://bit.ly/1E4ds6b led the Founders to deem them to be unworkable. 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.
The Founder’s and Framers of the Constitution actually debated whether a Bill of Rights was necessary. https://t.co/4i1yEqkiY1 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.)
In light of our current circumstances, WE THE PEOPLE find it fortuitous that the Framers of our Constitution drafted and adopted the Bill of Rights. 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.
The Founder's included other elements of their metaphysical context in constructing our Government. 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 http://wp.me/p4Oxv6-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 http://t.co/MR4EVm6mAg perhaps closer to their own:
“All [people] have free will and are not virtuous by nature.”
Cato Letters
Therefore, our government was constructed with Checks and Balances, Transparency and Accountability. [Federalist Paper 51 http://t.co/vzE9aOhgn4] The belief being diffusion of power, and the resultant jealousy of power, created by having three separate branches of government hold
each other in check and in balance would occur out of a desire by each of the branches to not lose its equal share of the power. 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.
Before we go farther, We must directly address what in our Founders' time was the unresolved issues of slavery and race. 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.)
The issue of RACE is relatively easy to dispatch, so let us address it first. 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?”

And finally, the sentiments of the last line of the Declaration of Independence seem appropriate to close with:
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other out Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
