After last week’s letter, I received many inquiries from Citizens willing to take the bitter pill of our own responsibility in the poor state of our beloved Republic. Most asked how we as Citizens, and as a Society, could and should proceed to elect good representatives and what must be done to recoup the loss of our leading position in this world.
Space precludes me from answering these questions completely in one post, but I will attempt to address, in general terms, what we should do as the first small steps to take back our government from the pernicious and surreptitious forces which have taken over it from the smoky back rooms of corporate, union and political party machines.
First, reject every mental bias and subconscious sense of loyalty to any political party; these are nothing but mafias that will tear our country apart to achieve their own power.
Both Thomas Jefferson and, especially, George Washington were adamantly opposed to the development of organized political parties and the derision that they create. We must vote for people who are willing to break the stranglehold that the two major parties have on political discourse in this country. Every election law they have ever written has insured their advantage over all other parties, persons and ideas at the polls; these laws must be removed from the books to allow the People free access to all alternatives.
We need Representatives with good ideas, not politicians with “good” connections.
Vote only for great statesmen who will not promise to give you something for nothing.
Reject the pandering promises of professional politicians, and the lies they tell:
If any candidate ever refers to our “Democracy”, or “our two party system”; DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM! That candidate is either a cunning liar or knows absolutely nothing about our Constitution. There is not one reference to Democracy or political parties in our Constitution. The Founding Fathers never created, nor ever intended that we should have, a Democracy; they gave us a more stable and sustainable Representative Republic.
All Democracies end shortly in the same tragic way – in bloody civil war! Thomas Jefferson said, “Democracy is 51% of the people oppressing 49%.”, and Benjamin Franklin said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner. Liberty is a very well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
When we have Statesmen elected, we must insist that they:
1. Restore the entire world’s confidence in the US Dollar by restoring the Constitutional Gold Standard; remove the Dollar from the control of a freshly audited Federal Reserve.
2. Remove collection of direct taxation from the IRS and return it to the townships, as the Founding Fathers intended it should be when they said, “We should never put the guns and the purse strings in the hands of the same people.”
3. Reform our tax codes to severely penalize speculators in the marketplace, establish Reciprocity as the ultimate standard in the application of import duties on foreign trade, encourage Americans to save and invest in their own country and Gold-backed currency, encourage primary production, prohibit sales taxes on any basic necessity, and treat all legal entities (private or corporate persons) equally with a Flat Rate Gross Income Tax.
4. Reform Social Security to stop the legalized theft by this Ponzi scheme, and attach to:
5. Reform of our Farm policy to store up food to conform to the Biblical principles of the Tithe system, as prescribed for the proper care of Society’s less fortunate.
I will further elaborate on the particulars of these reforms in later posts.
