~The Time of All Things~

What the Heck is a Republic?

I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I am a Conservative and closer to a Constitutionalist!

This piece by Steven Maikoski is what I believe in.

What the Heck is a Republic?

You are being fooled. Fooled by the media, fooled by most of the politicians and fooled by many of the educators. Their constant drone tells us that we are a Democracy, but we are not a Democracy of any kind. We are a Republic. The difference is distinct and very important to all of us, all the Democrats, all the Republicans and all the teenagers and all the children.

A Democracy is a form of government that is designed and managed by the majority. Political philosophers have identified its weakness and dangers over the last 2,000 years, it is a government that is bound to fail.

The men who wrote our Constitution took a great effort to keep us away from a democracy; if you study the journals of the convention, you will find several times that they purposefully designed against our being a democracy.

A democracy is dangerous for any nation because it gives as much power to the poor as it does to the rich. The poor have always outnumbered the rich, so the poor eventually use their numbers to take the homes, money and assets from the rich and the society eventually collapses. This isn’t opinion, it is recorded by history.

The “father of the Constitution,” James Madison, addressed the problems of democracy, which he called governments of the popular form, in Federalist #10, which may be the most important of all the Federalist papers written. I’ll cite a little of it here:

“Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

Our Constitutional Republic is different. We have a foundation of government set by our Constitution. All laws created by the government must be in consonance with its constitutional design. The Constitution is purposefully difficult to change, because an amendment requires the approval of two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives, plus the ratification of three-fourths of the state legislatures to succeed.

The philosophy of our Constitution was to bind the states together in a very limited measure, with the federal government having little control over the internal operations of each state, but it would represent them in a national scope and international affairs.

Within our original Constitution we do find an area of popular input: the House of Representatives. Its members are elected to short, two-year terms to reflect the popular pressures of the people. But the Senate was far different in its design. Its members were originally appointed by the State Legislatures, so the States officially had influence in the legislative and the appointment processes of the Federal Government. (I have long maintained that the state-appointed senators were the guardians of the Tenth Amendment) But those senators disappeared when the 17th Amendment was ratified in 1913, which changed the senators to ones who were elected by a popular vote.

Now we have political party senators instead of state-appointed senators.

That change set some forces in motion which took a while before they gained enough power to vandalize our republic. All presidential appointments, all nominations for the judiciary, all treaties and all legislation must receive Senate approval. With the new amendment, party politics had become more important than our Constitution. Because of this, we now have SCOTUS justices who ignore the Tenth Amendment, despite their swearing an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” our Constitution.

The 17th Amendment was a strong hit against our republican form of government.

But there is still one substantial element left in our Republican form of government: The Electoral College. That system was designed to have our States decide the president, not the popular vote. Again, this was to avoid the power of the mob. But the leftist masses have been eroding that foundation as well.

If we lose the Electoral College, it will empower the SWAMP, which is composed of the current government bureaus across the nation, the politicians, attorneys, educators and other “services” that have prospered with the incredible growth of our government, to become more powerful.

When doing the research for my book (“The Real Constitution and its real enemies” - available on Amazon) I found a quote by Richard Hofstadter that best describes the designs of the men who wrote our Constitution:

" The men who drew up the Constitution in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787 had a vivid Calvinistic sense of human evil and damnation and believed with Hobbes that men are selfish and contentious. They [the delegates] were men of affairs, merchants, lawyers, planter-businessmen, speculators, investors. Having seen human nature on display in the marketplace, the courtroom, the legislative chamber, and in every secret path and alleyway where wealth and power are courted, they felt they knew it in all its frailty. To them a human being was an atom of self-interest. They did not believe in man, but they did believe in the power of a good political Constitution to guide him.”

So that brings us to the bottom line: the Founding Fathers designed a republic that makes it difficult to change and difficult for corruption to take hold. But, as their government takes on more features of a democracy and submits itself to the power by the mob, it encourages change and encourages corruption.

Now you can understand why their political faction pushes for a democracy and how the politicians and their partners in big government become wealthy as they work us into that system. We must stop that push to a democracy if our nation is to survive.

“Political correctness cripples' discourse, creates ugly language and is generally stupid.”

Some good information here.... Little different from what you hear on TV!!

How many coal-fired power plants are there in the world today?

The EU has 468 - building 27 more... Total of 495

Turkey has 56 - building 93 more... Total 149

South Africa has 79 - building 24 more... Total 103

India has 589 - building 446 more... Total 1035

The Philippines has 19 - building 60 more... Total 79

South Korea has 58 - building 26 more... Total of 84

Japan has 90 - building 45 more... Total 135

China has 2,363 - building 1,171 more... Total = 3,534

That’s 5,615 projected coal-powered plants in just 8 countries.

USA has 15 - building 0 more...Total = 15

And Democrat politicians with their "green new deal” want to brainwash us and shut down those 15 plants in

order to "save” the planet.

This is EXCELLENT!! I knew the rough idea about the number of coal plants but had not yet seen actual

numbers until now.

This makes the point. Whatever the USA does or doesn’t do won’t make a Tinker’s Damn regarding CO2 unless

the rest of the world, especially China and India reduce their coal-fired power plants as well.

The whole “global warming” and “climate change” gambits by Democrats are to create a *supposedly* sound,

scientific basis to justify a federal government power-grab and the passage of MORE laws to increase taxes and

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! We are being played …. again!!!increased control of the privately-owned power industry and its distribution. Never forget the *main* motivation they have!

“Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!”

" A sobering article to reflect on."

Another scary issue to worry about. While the Chinese are way behind with human rights and pollution control, they are light years ahead of us with education.

China

Four reasons why China is fast becoming the dominant power in the world....

1. They have a very low tolerance for crime. The death sentence is swiftly and routinely used for terrorists, murderers, and drug traffickers.

2. Very low tolerance for Religion. They do not believe there is a magic man in the sky. No such thing as a God. Almost no religious killings and getting rid of the Indigenous Chinese Muslim population as fast as they can.

3. They have not been involved in any expensive wars or invaded any country for the last seventy years.

4. Their primary weapon of choice to conquer the world is Finance, and countries around the world are falling fast.

Not just the USA but all the world is in trouble?

In the near future, China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese acquisition of US businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.

The Smithfield Foods acquisition is a great example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 US states, and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with about 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.

Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise their economic muscle.

It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between "the Chinese government" and "the Chinese corporations". In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest.

Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6B to purchase AMC entertainment, one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Chinese companies control more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.

But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.

"Economic beachheads" are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100M plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on Communist China.

And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? DETROIT.

Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers.

If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers in the United States.

China is very interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.

For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee.

At the time, that acquisition really didn't make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.

And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now, China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Are you starting to get the picture yet? China is on the rise and has been for a long time while America plays political games.

If you doubt this, just read the following:

When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.

# Overall, the US has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 23 trillion dollars.

# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.

# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.

# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as does the United States.

# After being bailed out by US taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.

# China is the number one gold producer in the world.

# The uniforms for the US Olympic team were made in China (not since 2008)

# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.

# The new World Trade Center tower in New York includes glass imported from China.

# China now consumes more energy than does the United States.

# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.

# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.

# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.

# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.

# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.

# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.


# In published scientific research articles, China will become number one in the world very shortly. And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.

Subject: JD Electric Combines - A little food for thought don't you know!!!!!

For those of you that think electric vehicles are the answer, this is a true story from a farmer in the Midwest, and I’m re-
posting it.

A close friend farms over 10,000 acres of corn in the mid-west. The property is spread out over 3 counties. His operation is a
"Partnership farm" with John Deere. They use the larger farm operations as demonstration projects for promotion and development of
new equipment. He recently received a phone call from his John Deere representative, and they want the farm to go to electric
tractors and combines in 2023. He currently has 5 diesel combines that cost $900,000 each that are traded in every 3 years. Also, over
10 really BIG tractors.

JD wants him to go all electric soon.
He said: "Ok, I have some questions. How do I charge these combines when they are 3 counties away from the shop in the middle of a
cornfield, in the middle of nowhere?" "How do I run them 24 hours a day for 10 or 12 days straight when the harvest is ready, and the
weather is coming in?" "How do I get a 50,000+ lb. combine that takes up the width of an entire road back to the shop 20 miles away
when the battery goes dead?"
There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.

When the corn is ready to harvest, it has to have the proper sugar and moisture content. If it is too wet, it has to be put in giant dryers
that burn natural or propane gas, and lots of it. Harvest time is critical because if it degrades in sugar content or quality, it can drop
the value of his crop by half a million dollars or more. It is analyzed at time of sale. It is standard procedure to run these machines
10 to 12 days straight, 24 hours a day at peak harvest time. When they need fuel, a tanker truck delivers it, and the machines keep
going. John Deere's only answer is "we're working on it." They are being pushed by the lefty Dems in the government to force these
electric machines on the American farmer. These people are out of control. They are messing with the production of food crops that
feed people and livestock... all in the name of their "green dream."
Look for the cost of your box of cornflakes to triple in the next 24 months...”

Wake up! Stand up! Speak up!

Let's return sanity to our nation. because there is nothing wrong with wanting to get to an alternate energy source but when you have it rammed down you throats then you might want to take a second look.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States. “Why are Americans sleeping" he asked?...

"We aren't sleeping, we are spending our time teaching and assisting little boys how to become little girls!!! And, if we aren't busy doing that, we have the Secretary of Defense, responding to an order from the 'commander'-in-chief, designing stylish new uniforms for ‘pregnant soldiers.’

You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are such silly people. And Americans all now seem to be silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote.

"Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight. ”,
Maher then wryly acknowledged that China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong.

But, he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do when, and a representative government that can't do anything at all.”

"In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.

He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America has none. ... We've been having Infrastructure Week, every week since 2009, but we never get anything done!

Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a dick, and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies. We are such “silly people”.

Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it with each other, endlessly litigate it, sunset-clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a half- assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher explained. "Then the half-assed bill gets forgotten."

"China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it.”

The HBO star cited how it took 10 years for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review and how it took 16 years to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in 19 days and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in 43 hours.

We binge-watch, they binge-build. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days--and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home surfing the dark web for black-market Charmin.

We're not losing to China; we’ve LOST. The returns just haven't all come in yet.

They made robots that check a kid's temperature and got the kids back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok, and their brain cells commit ritual suicide.

Our teachers' unions are finding every single way to keep themselves on the payroll but keep students out of the classrooms.

WAKE UP AMERICANS!! That means ALL of YOU."

Maher then blasted former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners.

"Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do you think Chinese colleges and universities are offering courses in 'The Philosophy of StarTrek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse'? Can this be real? Well, let me tell you, China is real. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again."

I would add that the rot being developed internally by groups such as BLM, extreme left-wing groups, along with the free-loaders and a hundred other groups are perhaps a far greater threat than China, because they are all around us, and we tax-paying, country-loving, hard-working individuals just sit back and watch it take place.

That people like Omar and AOC and others can be elected, should just make you vomit.

That a statue of George Floyd could be put up in Minneapolis and some historical statues taken down should tell you that it's off the rails, way off the rails, and unless it is stopped by the people who care about the matter, I fear that we are not going to get back on the track heading in the right direction.

The Independent Treasury Act of 1920 suspended the de jure (meaning "by right of legal establishment") Treasury Department of
the United States government. Our Congress turned the treasury department over to a private corporation, which when seen in its
true light, is a fascist monopolistic cartel, the Federal Reserve and their agents. The bulk of the ownership of the Federal Reserve
System, a very well-kept secret from the American Citizen, is held by these banking interests, and NONE is held by the United

States Treasury:

Rothschild Bank of London
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Lehman Brothers of New York
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York

The Federal Reserve is at the root of most of our present statutory regulations, "laws", in the control and regulation of virtually all
aspects of human activity in the United States, through successively socialistic constructions laid upon the Commerce clause of
the Constitution. Basically, the Federal Reserve is the "STATE" of the United States.
(Why did the IRS buy 5,000,000 rounds of ammo? - New York State Firearms Association!)

See "Our Enemy, The STATE" by Albert J. Nock - 1935, his Classic Critique Distinguishing "Government" from the "STATE."

See Also Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins.

Thomas Jefferson once said:

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow
up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their
fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

-- Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)

Jefferson's prophesy has come true.

Here is what is going to very quickly happen internationally. All of the governments around the world are going to unite. They
will create one big giant credit union for collecting the debt for the International Bankers. We have allowed ourselves do get into
this very sad situation, but THAT IS THE WAY IT IS.

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. -- "State Tampering's with Money
Banks" -- Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)

A Special Report on the National Emergency in the United States of America
The Rape of We The People and
The Constitution For The United States

CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD

"Constructive fraud: A contract or act, which, not originating in evil design and contrivance to perpetuate a positive fraud or injury upon other persons, yet, by its necessary tendency to deceive or mislead them, or to violate a public or private confidence, or to impair or injure public interest, is deemed equally reprehensible with positive fraud, and therefore is prohibited by law, ... " Bovier's Law Dictionary - 1856 Edition
"Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgments." i.e. Documents, Constitutions, Court Decisions….. U.S. vs. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61

1. The United States went "Bankrupt" in 1933 and was declared so by President Roosevelt by Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260, (See: Senate Report 93-549, pages 187 & 594) under the "Trading With The Enemy Act" (Sixty-Fifth Congress, Sess. I, Chs. 105, 106, October 6, 1917), and as codified at 12 U.S.C.A. 95a.

2. The several States of the Union then pledged the faith and credit thereof to the aid of the National Government, and formed numerous committees, such as the "Council of State Governments", "Social Security Administration", etc., to purportedly deal with the contrived economic "Emergency" caused by the bankruptcy. These Organizations operated under the "Declaration of Interdependence" of January 22, 1937, and published some of their activities in " Book Of The States."

NOTE: The Council of State Governments has now been absorbed into such things as the "National Conference Of Commissioners On Uniform State Laws", whose Headquarters Office is located at 676 North St. Clair Street, Suite 1700, Chicago, Illinois 60611, and "all" being "members of the Bar", and operating under a different "Constitution and by-laws" has promulgated, lobbied for, passed, adjudicated and ordered the implementation and execution of their purported statutory provisions, to "help implement international treaties of the United States or where world uniformity would be desirable." (See: 1990/1991 Reference Book, National Council of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, pg. 2)
This is apparently what Robert Bork meant when he wrote "we are governed not by law or elected representatives but by an unelected, unrepresentative, unaccountable committee of lawyers applying no will but their own." (See: The Tempting Of America, Robert H. Bork, pg. 130)

Out of Order
Arrogance, Corruption and Incompetence on the Bench

In the words of Thomas Jefferson, the present state of the unconstitutionality of legislation, the usurpation of law in constitutional
matters, the almost total usurpation of the powers and rights of state government by the federal government, the decline in the
morality and ethics of the nation, runaway injustice, and the rise of the criminal and corrupt factions of society, can be laid on one
doorstep, that of the Judiciary.

"The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the
foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a coordination of a general and special
government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet . . . If they do, then . . . I will say, that "against
this every man should raise his voice," and more, should uplift his arm."

-- Thomas Jefferson To T. Ritchie, 1820 --
A book was published in 1998, Out of Order - Arrogance, Corruption and Incompetence on the Bench, by Max Boot, from which the
title and content of this page are derived. It is a book which has been so little noticed by the public that this January 2000, a year
later, I purchased a new hard-bound copy in a discount bookstore a copy for one tenth the original price.

"It is sad comment that the public is so uneducated, unconcerned and blinded to the TRUTH by the media, and that the Judiciary of
our once great Nation has been allowed to sink to these depths. And while I say that the conditions that exist today can be laid at
one doorstep, that of the Judiciary, I must ultimately say that the fault really lies at our feet, We the People, for it is We the People
who have allowed the foxes to guard the henhouse."

With regard to this, hear then the words of James Madison . . .
"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or
perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves
with the power which knowledge gives."

-- James Madison to W. T. Barry, August 4, 1822 --
And again, these of Thomas Jefferson . . .

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

-- Thomas Jefferson to Col. Yancey, 1816 --
Here, therefore, I present the foreword to the book, by the pre-eminent Constitutional Scholar and Jurist in the United States in the
closing decades of the 20th century, and the beginning of the 21st, Robert H. Bork, Judge, Supreme Court Nominee and Professor
of Law.

Don't worry, they are planning to use AI to go through the internet to censor words like xxxxxxxx xxxxx and xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx. The hope is this will protect the eyes and ears of those Americans who don't want to be uneducated.

There are a lot of sites who are reporting stories too quickly for the Deep State to get their story straight. This is why we hear the DOJ had nothing to do with the raid polite execution of a warrant on Trump, then we hear that Merrick Garland ordered it but can't say anything more, and now we hear that DJT is a bond villain with nuclear secrets in his attempt to blow up the world.

I think you can see how important it is to censor everything so that we have one official narrative that no one can poke a hole in.

What is accomplished in open warfare, destroying a nation's infrastructure, has been accomplished today in America, without
firing a shot.

Walls In Our Minds

Mankind was created with a capacity to learn, think, reason and create. We are born with a brain which begins to accumulate
information within a few weeks after birth. From age five, most children are exposed to a politician-controlled government school
system that continues for 13 years. The child's brain is a captive of mankind's worst enemy on planet earth. Governments have
destroyed more property, confiscated more wealth and ordered the murder of more men, woman and children than any other enemy.

Government cannot be trusted with the minds of our children.

When we consider how the mind of a five-year-old is so vulnerable to manipulation, it should cause parents and grandparents great
concern. Some third world countries still hear the chant of the witch doctor as he manipulates the minds of his fellow tribesmen.

We think we are too intelligent to be manipulated. Mind manipulation is alive and well in educated America. At no time in our
government schools or government churches do we find lessons being taught on the difference between knowing and believing. Our
teachers teach what they believed when they went to school.

We have thousands of religious creeds, cults and denominations, all competing for believers. Preachers have become salesmen of
religion. The quality of the product is not as important as the dollars collected and the number of followers. Our churches should
recognize the danger of being manipulated by believing false information. When government began its takeover of the education
system, the church should have opposed the idea. The church has not been a separate power acting as a check against evil
government.

If someone complains about how our government is conducting its business, most Americans will agree that something must be
done. However, if you refuse to pay federal income tax, you will be accused of being unpatriotic. People will complain about
government, but they don't want anyone to cut off government's income. The basic reason for this is mind control. Walls have been
built in the minds of the American people that limits the ability to think and reason. The government school did not teach that
government is man's worst enemy. That is a fact that any free mind can comprehend.

During World War II, we were taught how our government was better than the German or Japanese governments. After the war, we
were taught how our government was better than what the Russians had. The Russian government controls the schools in Russia.

The teachers in Russian schools are teaching children that the Russian government is better than the United States government. It
would appear that teachers in the USSR and teachers in the USA have a real problem. Somebody is teaching false information and
that somebody is teachers on both sides.
Government schools in the USSR and in the USA are both in error. An argument as to which government is the best is like comparing AIDS and cancer. You might prefer cancer over AIDS, but you really don't want either one. If you have two rotten oranges, you will throw both of them into the garbage. Logic tells us not to trust government with the education of our children.

We have been going to the polls on election day as good little brainwashed Americans and usually voted against someone, rather
than for someone. You tried to decide which one was AIDS and which one was cancer. You tried to determine which orange was
more rotten than the other. You went away from the polls frustrated. The lesser of two evils may be elected, but the changes you
would like to see are not going to happen. Every law that is created will be designed to give politicians and government more of your
money, power, liberty and freedom. ~ M.J. & Red Beckman

A lie and the liar are not dangerous until the lie is believed.
The walls in our minds and a nation of government regulators "just doing their job," are powerful forces that have allowed tyrants to
conquer this great nation.

A VERY GOOD READ.

This is worth your time! A different perspective. Doesn't matter what side you are on this is an interesting comment on our country today. And written by a lawyer.

Lawyers

As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered to be an indictment against my profession. But I believe there is much truth to the article below. Very thought provoking. Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs. It may work in litigation but does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate.

Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate. Joe Biden (no surprise) was at the bottom of his class. Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. President Trump was a businessman. Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen. Vice President Cheney was a businessman. President Eisenhower was a 5 star General. The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And so, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official enemies grow. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, which, in this case should be the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.

When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the world's lawyers! Tort or legal reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.

These are the conditions which are painfully self-evident today.

• Appointed dictatorial bureaucracies serving the interests of the Cartel and not responsible or accountable to the will of the people.
• Taxation without representation slowly starving the people to death or submission.
• A Gutless Media whose interest in making money providing illusion to serve the interests of the Cartel is more important than the truth.
• Professionals --- system compliant doctors, lawyers, cpa's, etc. amongst others.
• Morally Bankrupt Religions preaching myth instead of truth to the gullible and ignorant.
• People in all walks of life devoid of decent morality and ethics as a result of the above.

Social and Philosophic changes.

America has not only changed technologically in the past hundred years, but our social attitudes and personal philosophies have
changed as well. We have less respect for life and less love for liberty. We are obsessed with material things, along with rowdy and
raucous entertainment. Needs and wants have become rights for both rich and poor. The idea of instant gratification too often
guides our actions, and when satisfaction is not forthcoming anger and violence break out. Road rage and airline passenger rage
are seen more frequently. Regardless of fault, a bad outcome in almost anything, even if beyond human control will prompt a
lawsuit. Too many believe they deserve to win the lottery, and a lawsuit helps the odds. Unfortunately, the only winners too often are
the lawyers hyping the litigation.

Few Americans are convinced anymore that productive effort is the most important factor in economic success and personal
satisfaction. One did not get rich in the 1990s investing in companies that had significant or modest earnings. The most successful
investors bought companies that had no earnings and the gambling paid off big. This attitude cannot create perpetual wealth and
must someday end.

Today financial gurus are obsessed with speculation in the next initial public offering (IPO) and express no interest in the cause of
liberty, without which markets cannot exist.
Lying and cheating are now acceptable by the majority. This was not true a hundred years ago when moral standards were higher.
The October 1999 issue of US News and World Report reveals that 84% of college students believe cheating is necessary to get
ahead in today's world, and 90% are convinced there's no price to pay for cheating. Not surprisingly, 90% of college students
believe politicians often cheat. An equal percentage believe the media cheats as well. There's no way to know if the problem is this
bad in the general population, but these statistics indicate our young people do not trust our politicians or media. Trust has been
replaced with a satisfaction in the materialism that a speculative stock market, borrowing money, and a spendthrift government can
generate. But what happens to our society if the material abundance, which we enjoy, is ephemeral and human trust is lost?

Social disorder will surely result and there will be a clamor for a more authoritarian government. This scenario may indeed
threaten the stability of our social order and significantly undermine all our constitutional protections. But there is no law or ethics
committee that will solve this problem of diminishing trust and honesty-that is a problem of the heart, mind, and character to be
dealt with by each individual citizen. The importance of the family unit today has been greatly diminished compared to the close of
the 19th Century. Now, fewer people get married, more divorces occur, and the number of children born out of wedlock continues to
rise. Tax penalties are placed on married couples; illegitimacy and single parenthood are rewarded by government subsidies, and
we find many authoritarians arguing that the definition of marriage should change in order to allow non-husband and wife
couples to qualify for welfare handouts. The welfare system has mocked the concept of marriage in the name of political
correctness, economic egalitarianism, and hetero-phobia.

Freedom of speech is still cherished in America, but the political correctness movement has seriously undermined dissent on our
university campuses. A conservative or libertarian black intellectual is clearly not treated with the same respect afforded an
authoritarian black spokesman. We now hear of individuals being sent to psychiatrists when personal and social views are rude or
out of the ordinary. It was commonplace in the Soviet system to incarcerate political dissenters in "mental" institutions. Those who
received a Soviet government designation of "socially undesirable elements" were stripped of their rights. Will this be the way we treat political dissent in the future? We hear of people losing their jobs because of "socially undesirable" thoughts or for telling off-color
jokes. Today sensitivity courses are routinely required in America to mold social thinking for the simplest of infractions. The
thought-police are all around us. It's a bad sign.

Any academic discussion questioning the wisdom of our policies surrounding World War II is met with shrill accusations of anti-
Semitism and Nazi lover. No one is even permitted without derision by the media, the university intellectuals, and the politicians to
ask why the United States allied itself with the murdering Soviets and then turned over Eastern Europe to them while ushering in a
45-year saber-rattling dangerous cold war period. "Free speech" is permitted in our universities for those who do not threaten the
status quo of welfarism, globalism, corporatism, and a financial system that provides great benefits to powerful special interests. If
a university professor does not follow the party line, he does not receive tenure.

We find ourselves at the close of this century realizing all our standards have been undermined. A monetary standard for our money
is gone; the dollar is whatever the government tells us it is. There is no definition, and no promise to pay anything for the notes
issued ad infinitum by the government.
Standards for education are continually lowered, de-emphasizing excellence. Relative ethics are promoted, and moral absolutes are
ridiculed. The influence of religion on our standards is frowned upon and replaced by secular humanistic standards.
The work ethic has been replaced by a welfare ethic, based on need not effort. Strict standards required for an elite military force
are gone, and our lack of readiness reflects this.

Standards of behavior of our professional athletes seem to reflect the rules followed in the ring by the professional wrestlers where
anything goes.
Managed medical care, driven by government decrees, has reduced its quality and virtually ruined the doctor-patient relationship.
Movie and TV standards are so low that our young people's senses are totally numbed by them.
Standards of courtesy on highways, airplanes, and shops are seriously compromised and at time lead to senseless violence.
With the acceptance of abortion, our standards for life have become totally arbitrary as they have become for liberty. Endorsing the
arbitrary use of force by our government morally justifies the direct use of force by disgruntled groups not satisfied with the slower
government process.

The standards for honesty and truth have certainly deteriorated during the past hundred years.
Property ownership has been undermined through environmental regulations and excessive taxation. True ownership of property
no longer exists.
There has been a systematic undermining of legal and constitutional principles once respected and followed for the protection of
individual liberty.

A society cannot continue in a state of moral anarchy. Moral anarchy will lead to political anarchy. A society without clearly
understood standards of conduct cannot remain stable any more than an architect can design and build a sturdy skyscraper with
measuring instruments that change in value each day. We recently lost a NASA space probe because someone failed to convert
inches to centimeters-a simple but deadly mistake in measuring physical standards. If we as a people debase our moral standards,
the American Republic will meet a similar fate.

I work hard on this page, (not as hard as I could, perhaps, but pretty hard), to avoid the politics of the moment, and comment only on topics that impact the foundation I’m proud to run – a foundation that awards work-ethic scholarships to individuals who choose to forego an expensive, four-year education in favor of a skilled trade. When I do weigh in, I try to acknowledge both sides of the argument, and make my points with as much respect as I can muster. Today, however, I can see only one side. Today, I can find nothing to respect in the President’s decision to transfer billions of dollars in outstanding student loans onto the backs of those people my foundation tries to assist - the same people I’ve spent the last twenty years profiling on Dirty Jobs.

With that in mind, I’m not going to write the piece I just sat down to write. Instead, I’m going to share the attached article from Charlie Cooke, who writes better than I do, and shares my disdain for what just happened. If you share our disdain, then please, share this post as well. This decision is without question, the biggest pre-Labor Day slap in the face to working people I've ever seen. - Mike Rowe

BIDEN'S STUDENT-DEBT BONFIRE IS A CLASSIST MESSAGE TO THE UNCREDENTIALED: SCREW 'EM

By Charlie Cooke

A few moments before I sat down to write this piece, I opened the door to six guys in blue shirts who had come to my house to replace our air-conditioning units. The Florida weather being what it is, I’ve seen some of these guys work on our air conditioners before, and they’re as skilled and knowledgeable and conscientious and hard-working as you might expect. The company they work for, which is local to North Florida, was started by a guy who chose to forgo college in favor of taking out a small-business loan to strike out on his own. Most of the technicians who work for him didn’t go to college, either. They took a different path. And, well . . . what absolute chumps the president has just made of them for that!

Squirm if you like, but that’s the truth of the matter: As of today, the six air-conditioning technicians in my house are on the hook for college loans that were signed for, spent, and enjoyed by other people. Confirming the measure today, President Biden announced that any American who has both college debt they vowed to repay and an individual yearly income under $125,000 (or a family yearly income under $250,000) will be given up to $20,000 by the Treasury — which means by you, and by me, and by everyone else who pays taxes in America.

Why? Well, that’s the question.

The answer can’t be, “because that’s what the relevant law anticipates or requires.” As of yet, Congress has provided no authorization for the executive branch to arbitrarily write off some of the money that borrowers owe to taxpayers. As of yet, Congress has passed no rules that allow down-on-their-luck presidents to throw money at people for political gain. As of yet, Congress has given no instruction that if the president’s friends might like a little more cash, he can raid the Treasury to give it to them. Certainly, Congress has set up a loan program. But the deal there is rather simple, all told: First you borrow, and then you pay back what you borrowed. There is no mention of “forgiveness” days or of “help” or of rolling Chekhovian jubilees, and by pretending otherwise, President Biden is making a mockery of his oath to uphold the Constitution.

Another answer that won’t fly is, “To lower the cost of education.” As President Biden made clear today, this is a one-time deal, a lottery, a lightning strike. People who paid off their loans last week aren’t covered. People who will take out new loans after the policy has run its course aren’t covered. The problems in the system aren’t addressed. The colleges, and their endowments, are left unmolested. American culture’s increasingly credentialism presumptions aren’t altered. Within four years, overall debt will return to its present level. With the stroke of a pen, the already-fake deficit savings within the Inflation Reduction Act will be wiped out. This isn’t a reform. It’s not even pretending to be reform. It’s a contemptuous, abusive, unbelievably expensive shot in the dark — the net effect of which will be that fewer people correctly calibrate whether college is worth it, fewer colleges change their offerings to meet market demand, and, because this sort of executive giveaway will now loom large as a possibility, fewer people feel the need to save for college.

It seems so arbitrary. Why does Biden not want to do the same thing for loans on trucks owned by plumbers? Why not for mortgages — which, given how heavily it subsidizes them, the federal government clearly thinks are worthwhile? Why not for credit cards or auto payments or mom-and-pop credit lines? The answer, I’m afraid to say, is disgustingly classist: Because Joe Biden and his party believe that college students are better than everyone else. Because Joe Biden and his party believe that college students are of a finer cut. Because Joe Biden and his party prefer college students to you, and they think that those students ought to be rewarded for that by being handed enormous gobs of your money.

Electricians, store managers, deli workers, landscapers, waitresses, mechanics, entrepreneurs? Screw ’em. Sure, college graduates make more money than non-graduates, and their unemployment rate is lower, too. But non-graduates don’t have access to the president, so they don’t matter. They’re tradesmen, the riffraff, the great unwashed. They’re background noise, dirty-handed types, second classers. They don’t deserve $10,000 in debt reduction. What would they even do with it? Go hunting? Give it to their church? Their role is to subsidize the superior people, and the superior people go to college.

Why did Joe Biden do all this? That’s why. Why was this what Joe Biden chose to break his oath to achieve? That’s why. When it came down to it, good ol’ Scranton Joe sent cash from the sort of people he cynically pretends to care about to the sort of people he actually cares about: the privileged, accredited, self-dealing clerisy that his ever-dwindling political party now calls its base.

"Capital must protect itself in every way...Debts must be collected, and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When
through a process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the
strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their
leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world.

By dividing the people, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as
teachers of the common herd." -- Taken from the Civil Servants' Yearbook, "The Organizer" January 1934.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a
monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks
and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.

"If Congress has the right [it doesn't] to issue paper money [currency], it was given to them to be used by...[the government] and

their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance." -- James Madison

"Should government refrain from regulation (taxation), the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the FRAUD can
no longer be concealed." -- British Lord John Maynard Keynes (the father of 'Keynesian Economics' which our nation now
endures) in his book "THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE PEACE" (1920).

"But if in the pursuit of the means we should unfortunately stumble again on unfunded paper money or any similar species of
fraud, we shall assuredly give a fatal stab to our national credit in its infancy. Paper money will invariably operate in the body of
politics as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and ultimately destroy them. Paper money has had the effect
in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and
injustice." -- George Washington in a letter to Jabez Bowen, Rhode Island, Jan. 9, 1787

The economic Crash of '29 and the Great Depression were caused by the money vultures and foreign swindlers of the Federal
Reserve withholding currency from circulation and raising interest rates after an inflationary easy money policy in the early
1920s. The Federal Reserve's fear of excessive speculation led it into a far too deflationary policy in the late 1920s, "destroying
the village in order to save it."

When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve

"There is a distinction between a 'debt discharged' and a debt 'paid'. When discharged, the debt still exists though divested of it's
charter as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge, something of the original vitality of the debt continues to
exist, which may be transfered, even though the transferee takes it subject to it's disability incident to the discharge." -- Stanek vs.

The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts.

Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years. and the constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them. They had no natural power or right to make it obligatory upon their children. It is not only plainly impossible, in the nature of things, that they could bind their posterity, but they did not even attempt to bind them. That is to say, the instrument does not purport to be an agreement between anybody but "the people" THEN existing; nor does it, either expressly or impliedly, assert any right, power, or disposition, on their part, to bind anybody but themselves.
Let us see. Its language is:

We, the people of the United States (that is, the people THEN EXISTING in the United States), in order to form a more perfect
union, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It is plain, in the first place, that this language, AS AN AGREEMENT, purports to be only what it at most really was, viz., a
contract between the people then existing; and, of necessity, binding, as a contract, only upon those then existing. In the second place, the language neither expresses nor implies that they had any right or power, to bind their "posterity" to live under it. It does say that their "posterity" will, shall, or must live under it. It only says, in effect, that their hopes and motives in adopting it were that it might prove useful to their posterity, as well as to themselves, by promoting their union, safety, tranquility, liberty, etc.

To Effect this Maxim in Jurisprudence, the Proper Maxim of the Law should be "Where the Constitution is silent on a subject, the Courts should likewise remain silent."

And now that the would-be legislators and do-gooders of the courts have so futilely inflicted so many unconstitutional systems and injustices upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun:
May they reject all systems and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works.
