My Christmas Gift

I don't think many of our true loves are waiting with bated breath for a partridge in a pear tree this year. but I do know a one-size-fits-all gift that would be absolutely thrilling for EVERYONE on your list: the gift of yourself. Unfortunately, this most PERSONAL "gift" is very expensive, for it requires large expenditures of our precious, but dwindling, natural resources. TIME. CREATIVE ENERGY. EMOTION. It would be far easier to give everyone two turtle doves and be done with it. Christmas list finished!

This doesn't mean that we don't want to give of ourselves during the holidays. Actually, that's what we're desperately trying to "DO" (but fall so short of accomplishing "IT"). Obviously, we're not doing it very well. This is why many of us end up feeling depressed, overwhelmed, discouraged as we pack away the ornaments. How did Christmas slip out of our grasp, AGAIN "this" YEAR!

Because we were holding too many "things" at once: obligations, promises, should-dos, conflicting commitments. "Oh, sure, no problem" is the first indication of th discombobulated mind. First thing: excuse yourself from every evening meeting and supposed "important phone call" which are all time robbers. Only accept social events you REALLY want to attend, not ones out of "obligation" for "business appearance sake"...(you know the ones with fake friendly smiles).Your absence might be noticed any other time of the year, but trust me not during the holidays. Everybody's focus is as scattered as yours. You'll NOT be missed.

Now about those gifts. All those bright, pretty baubles blowing your budget are only "symbols" of the gifts you really long to give. So this year why don't you try to give them THE RIGHT STUFF... INSTEAD OF JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS?



ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, I gave my true loves:
the GIFT of MY Undivided Attention.

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS, I gave my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Enthusiasm.

ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of all "my" Creative and Loving energy.

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Simple Seasonal Pleasures.

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Tenderness.

ON THE SIXTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Good Cheer.

ON THE SEVENTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT OF "my" Honor.

ON THE EIGHTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Attentive Communication.

ON THE NINTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Heartfelt Listening.

ON THE TENTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" Awareness.

ON THE ELEVENTH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT in "my" Peaceful Surroundings.

ON THE TWELVETH Day OF CHRISTMAS, I gave to my true loves:
the GIFT of "my" expressed Joy .

Be ready at all times for the GIFTS OF GOD, and always for new ones.
Be ready at all times to give those you love the SIMPLE ABUNDANT GIFTS
OF SPIRIT.
If you do, they'll give you gifts you never forget, happy
smiles, and contented hearts. And you won't have to exchange them.

Reminiscing back over the best Christmas Stories I've been blessed to
partake in, I come to realize this morning the REAL role of "gifts" in
all the Christmas Stories. those "gifts" were wrapped in miracles, which
is probably why we can't find them at malls, or on-line Cyber Monday sales.

One of the fist gifts was of Spirit: unconditional love. Then, a smile crept on my face as I remembered Christ, His gift was selflessness, the complete surrender of ego and will needed to bring down Heaven to earth. Another smile, as I remembered my "foster" son Ryan back years ago, His gift was trust and faith, and as I stare at this Angel he somehow scrounged up money and bought for me...Its an Seraphim's Angel Of Mercy...I still have some 15 years later. This child brought forth forgiveness. Wholeness. Second Chances. the angel gift reminded me of tidings of comfort, joy and peace, the reassurance that there was nothing to fear, so rejoice. Over the years, many gifts have been presented to me: "generosity": which resulted in lumps in my throat and tears in me eyes. Gifts of compassion and charity: a warm, dry, safe place for a homeless one to stay, my best Tommy Hilfilger Jeans given to cloth her until after Christmas shopping can come, a shared meal on Christmas day filled with cheer.

Now, thinking back 2000 years ago, 3 kings from the east traveled many hot, dusty miles following a bright star in search of a Royal Birth. The sage's divination foretold the coming of The KING of KINGS; on their camels backs were treasures with which to honor his arrival. but when they arrived in Bethlehem, they found the newborn prince in a cow stall instead of a palace. The shocked Wise Men unwrapped gold, frankincense and myrrh, But their REAL "gifts" were wonder, acceptance, faith, and courage. they offered wonder by surrendering logic, reason, and common sense. Accepting th possibility, they suspended skepticism long enough to double cross the insane King Herod, frantically searching for the child who would change the World, and time. With courage, at the risk of their own lives, The Wise Men helped the young family escape to a safe haven in Egypt.

Oh yes, Christmas is all about GIFTS. Nothing but GIFTS. But such "gifts"! Gifts tied with heartstrings. Gifts that surprise and delight. Gifts that transform the mundane into the miraculous. Gifts that nurture the souls of both the giver and the given. Perfect "gifts". Authentic "gifts". The gifts of SPIRIT, a frightened girl, a bewildered sweetheart, The Child, the angels, the shepherd boy, the inn keepers wife...The gifts of the Magi.

Unconditional love. Selflessness. Joy. Peace. Reassurance. Rejoicing. Trust. Faith. Forgiveness. Wholeness. Compassion. Mercy. Second Chances.Comfort. Generosity. charity. Wonder. Acceptance. Courage. Grace. Honor. Love. Hope.

To give such "gifts" to TRULY "open our Hearts" to receive such gifts gratefully. And to think that Christmas just won't be Christmas without any presents under the tree...

DECEPTION: The Years Before Columbus...not just 500 years prior but America 325 B.C

Contrary to popular belief, Christopher Columbus was NOT the first European to discover North America. Almost 500 years before Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola, the Norsemen had already established settlements on Iceland, Greenland, and even North America itself. Although the settlements did not last for long, their memory reminds us of the indefatigable spirit of the Norsemen who braved uncertainty and cold to discover a New World. How different world history could have been if their settlements had survived!

The Norsemen (or Vikings) were a seafaring Scandinavian people who rose to power in Europe between the 9th and 11th centuries (and DID NOT wear helmets with horns). They were an extremely mobile and usually worked as pirates, mercenaries, or traders. No port from Ireland to Russia from Scandinavia to North Africa was safe from their raids. For many years, the Viking longboat was perhaps the most dreaded sight a European could have seen.

The Norsemen were more than just pirates, however. They often settled and farmed the territory they encountered. This was especially true in the North Atlantic where they were the first and only Europeans to colonize. They began colonizing the North Atlantic in 894 AD when Ingólfur Arnarson became the first person (with the possible exception of a few Irish monks) to take up permanent residence on Iceland. Iceland soon became a flourishing colony and has been populated ever since.

Beginning in 984AD, some Vikings, including Erik the Red, established settlements on Greenland. This land was a little harder to tame than was Iceland. In addition to being further away from European civilization, it was already populated by Inuit natives. Although the Vikings and the Inuit got along well for many years, conflict was inevitable. The settlements managed to survive the threat of Inuit attacks, famine, disease, the great distance from European civilization, and the bitter cold for almost 500 years. The "Little Ice Age" which began in the 13th century made life in Greenland almost impossible, however. Close to the time that Columbus reached the New World, the Greenland colony failed and was abandoned for over two hundred years.

In a time before accurate maps and when much of the world was unknown exploration was a dangerous business. Further, the Vikings had little incentive to take risks. They were not, for example, interested in finding a new route to China like the Portuguese would be many years later. Therefore, most of their discoveries were actually accidents. They did not have access to modern navigational equipment, or even the compass. Understandably, they often got lost at sea. In the process of trying to find their way home, they sometimes encountered new territory. If they did make it back to civilization, they told others what they had seen. This, in turn, motivated adventurous Norsemen to try to find this new land. It was the search for known landmasses, not the charting of the unknown, which motivated most of the Nordic exploration efforts.

This is how Leif Erikson discovered Newfoundland. About 985AD, a merchant named Bjarni Herjólfsson got lost while sailing from Iceland to Greenland. While trying to find his way to Greenland, he accidentally discovered North America. Realizing that this was not his destination and hoping to get to Greenland before the winter, he did not land. A few years later, he told his story to Leif Erikson. Erikson bought Herjólfsson's ship and set out in search of this new land.

Leif Erikson (also Ericson & Erikkson) was born about 970AD. He was the son of the famous "Erik the Red" who had founded two settlements on Greenland. Little is certain about Leif Erricson's life, but is generally believed that he grew up in Greenland and visited Norway where he converted to Christianity about 999AD. Soon after returning home, Leif set out to find the land Bjarni had claimed to see. The land was reputed to be well forested and Leif knew that it would probably make valuable farm land.

After making two landfalls along the North American coast, Leif Erikson arrived at a place he called "Vinland". It's exact location is now known. Archaeologists have found the remains of a Norse settlement in Newfoundland, but some still maintain that Vinland was further south, perhaps around Massachusetts. According to this view, the Newfoundland settlement was the result of an undocumented expedition, which is certainly possible. Perhaps we have simply lost the records of the northern expedition. On the other hand, there is no evidence to believe that the northern settlement is NOT the Vinland of the Nordic sagas.

It is not known how many expeditions were made to Vinland. There were apparently at least two or three including as least one made by Leif's brother Thorvald. The colony seems to have prospered for a time with the inhabitants importing animals and even families to live there. The natives, however, were a problem. They were hostile and in the 11th century, the Vikings would not have had much of a technological advantage of them. The Vikings had iron weapons, but flint weapons killed just as easily as do iron ones. In fact, Thorvald himself died during a skirmish with the locals. The Vikings also had large animals. As North America has no native beasts of burden, the natives were unfamiliar with cattle and were even frightened by them. Lastly, the Vikings had the advantage of being skilled seafarers. If a battle went against them, they could just get in their longboats and go home or try to recruit some reinforcements.

These advantages were not enough for the Vikings to defeat the natives of Vinland, however. Ultimately, any settlers who were not killed were forced to return to Greenland. In time, even the settlers of Greenland were forced to retreat to Iceland or even Scandinavia itself. Without a steady stream of inhabitants to populate the areas the Norse tried to settle, the colonies were doomed to failure.

For many years, Leif Erikson and Vinland were thought to be legends, nothing more. Their stories were recorded in conflicting sagas during the 13th century, but scholars did not take these sagas seriously until recently when archaeological evidence of the Norse colonization of North America was uncovered in Newfoundland. Archaeologists have also found evidence of Viking coins and writing as far inland as the Great Lakes and as far south as Massachusetts. While some believe this is a sign that Vikings actually explored this far, others say it is only a sign that they were in North America. Their coins could have been traded south by the Indians they traded with or scavengers who searched the ruins of the Vinland settlement after it was abandoned.

However it happened, there can be little doubt that Vikings lived in North America for at least a brief time. They were not, however, there long enough to have much of a significant impact on the cultures they encountered. North America remained essentially unchanged until Columbus found it in 1492. Still, it is worth noting that the Norsemen, not the Spanish were the first to reach the New World. But to understand a bit more of exactly what was taking place in 1492 and The Spanish rule, a reference to Queen Isabella is necessary.

Isabella of Castile was a powerful queen as Europe passed from the Late Middle Ages to the Renaissance. When she was eighteen she already favored jewels and beautiful gowns which she wore throughout her life. Isabella was queen of Castile from 1474 to 1505, and she had to fight a civil war to secure her throne. Her marriage to Ferdinand II of Aragon began a thirty five year joint rule of a unified Spain by the Catholic Monarchs. Ferdinand and Isabella succeeded as joint sovereigns to the throne of Castile on the death of Isabella's half brother Henry IV in December of 1474. From 1481 the "Catholic Kings," as Ferdinand and Isabella were known, ruled both kingdoms jointly, but it was a union of crowns not countries. The two kingdoms maintained their separate laws, institutions and governments. In 1478, they established the Spanish Inquisition as a royal council under royal control. In 1492 The Inquisition persuaded the Catholic Kings to expel the Jews whose conversion to Christianity was doubtful.

It was typical of Isabella's political vision that she agreed to finance the expedition of Christopher Columbus which brought the New World and wealth to Spain. If it weren't for Queen Isabella of Spain, Christopher Columbus would never been able to set sail. Isabella took an interest in the Native Americans of the new lands and when some of them were brought back to Spain as slaves she had them returned and freed, she wanted the Indians to be treated fairly.

So, the question remains that as a young child in public school being taught American History and the whole" Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue~ Columbus discovered America in 1492 that I asked and no-one could answer me THEN. If there were people ALREADY here in America, where did "they" come from and how did "they" travel here? As "they" didn't have "their" voyage "financed" like Columbus by a Queen seeing new land and wealth to add to her treasury. Men and women of Amerindian descent, either of dual descent or full-blooded Native American Indians know the teachings of their grandparents of the ancient tribal traditions of how their ancestors crossed the great ocean that lies to the east of America, to reach this continent; of how they are bewildered and confused by the conflict between tribal traditions and what they were obliged to learn in public school-namely of an "alleged" ancestry back to the Bering Strait to Asia.

So theres a bit more to America's past than appears upon the surface, a bit more than George III losing his domain with the birth of the 13 original Colonies. How would you ascribe inscriptions strewn across The United States, Canada, and Latin America written in various European and Mediterranean languages in alphabets that date from 2500 YEARS AGO which give testimony not just about ancients ships visiting these shores, but also PERMANENT COLONIES OF CELTS, BASQUES, LIBYANS, and yes...even EGYPTIANS. Celtic Ogam, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Iberian-Punic script, Libyan script, Basque script circa 800BC (Before Christ and yes that means Before Columbus too) are written on gravestones, and on cliff faces which bear witness that the colonists intermarried with the Amerindians, and so their descendants still live here today!

These remarkable facts just recently coming to light in the late 70's while the world's attention was on Watergate scandal, and all the while discoveries of over 3000 years ago bands of roving Celtic mariners crossed the North Atlantic to discover, and then colonize, North America. They came from Spain and Portugal, by way of the Canary Islands, sailing the trade winds as Columbus also was to do LONG AFTERWARD. As one historian Professor Norman Totten, has pointed out, it means that 2500 YEARS of American pre-history must now be transferred to history; for if history begins when "writing" begins, and there have been unearthed the oldest written documents of our nation and the names thereof is on record. As a matter of fact, right here my own home state of Georgia about 1 hour north from me in Rising Fawn, Georgia was discovered similar ancient Ogam writings on the Chimney of an old home where the bricks of the chimney had been cut from the cliff faces.

I would like to pay homage to the late Dr. Barry Fell for his work on ancient languages which shines the light of America's TRUE HISTORY as well as Gloria Farley cliff explorer whose discoveries showed that Celts had followed a southern route and that Libyans and Punic speaking Iberians, and even on Basque King had ventured into the Heartland of America.

Yes, God scattered His Sheep the 10 tribes of Israel...but He didn't lose them...we lost themselves, our heritage, our identity for we the people in deception believing fairy-tales sold us in public school spoon fed by the government as to our History, and "traditions of men" sold us in most churches today such as Eve ate an apple hogwash, Easter (Ishtar) instead of Passover, False Rapture Doctrines instead of preparing America and The Church for the Hour of Temptation all but at the door. Can't blame anyone but yourself...for each of you "bought"it...so take personal responsibility for your OWN WOEFUL IGNORANCE...and start today and study. Pastor Arnold Murray at www.shepherdschapel.com is a great place to begin with live daily teachings line by line in the Bible. Currently at this writing (Oct 11th, 2010) we are currently studying the book of Ezekiel chapter by chapter and line on line so that God can tell The Truth and you can hear it!

Did you know that our Heavenly Father first came to this Earth in what most call UFOs and spoke with Ezekiel face to face to warn us what would be taking place especially in these end-times? Did you know this book tells everything abut Gods People, their captivity, their deliverance, Satan's high "office" he once held with The Father, and his "demotion" to the "office" of Antichrist? Did you know America has A DESTINY AND A PURPOSE? Ever wonder why it seems there is so much untruth in the political arena, the education system, and how it is almost impossible to get to the REAL TRUTH about anything?

Ever wonder exactly what is DECEPTION? We breathe "in" misinformation and untruths-not because we are "bad" people;rather it's like the air...just there and we are EXPOSED to "it"-and we simply breathe "it". In the search for Truth, it is necessary to have been once lied to, "deceived"- or else one can not "KNOW" The Truth, for in EXPERIENCE only can one KNOW a things as "Fact" or else the the thing is " is not a fact" - thus "BEING" and "UNTRUTH". Event he Truth when moved slightly to the left or ever so slightly to the right BECOMES a lie.The TRUTH MUST BE TOLD!! There are powerful special interests who spend millions of dollars to keep the truth and keep hidden from us just so 'they' can make more money. FACE IT! That is a cold hard fact. That is "the system" and how it works, and it works because the average person doesn't know any better. Most believe the so-called "experts", the TV ads, the media (who is that actually owns the media?), and self-serving institutions like the Federal Reserve who through Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac have bundled our mortgages and sold "them" to our enemy and in all EFFECT have sold us into "slavery" to foreigners who HATE and despise The United States and the freedoms we possess.

Want to know where America fits into all this? America B.C. and Saga America by Dr. Barry Fell are 2 excellent works which break down in much deeper details what I have barely scratched the surface on here. Dr. Arnold Murray will break down God's Word and not "traditions passed down which in the end are alot of untruths.

While Titus in 70 A.D was destroying Jerusalem, there were Jews who had escaped taking refuge in America settling Kentucky and Tennessee...and then a second wave of Hebrew refugees came about 132 B.C. And in the very near future, God Himself is going to destroy Jerusalem in His wrath AFTER Satan "defacto" sits there "pretending to be Christ" and everybody runs up to him as if he is Jesus. It is getting very late in the season...please begin a serious study of Truth...let this note be the poker which nudges you into a better understanding of America, her Destiny...and YOURS!

I would like to thank Dr. Arnold Murray for his love and faith and scholarship in the original manuscripts of The Bible which shine the light of God's Word brightly for those who seek The Truth of God's word and provides a proper HISTORY...for America or any other country, that ignores God is NOT TRUE HISTORY. He is sovereign over His creation and "His Story". Therefore a proper understanding of Gods plan and purpose for man from the beginning of creation is a must or you will not be able to understand how America fits into His overall plan.

The question I should end with...What is going to be YOUR-Story?

What, exactly, is The American Dream and to be a Christian Nation

For decades, the United States has been moving away from freedom and free markets and, at an increasingly accelerating pace, toward socialism With Washington DC growing bigger and bigger by the day and distancing itself further and further from our precious Constitution and founding principles. Finally, in 2008, the decades-long dream of arrogant, power-hungry progressives came true: control of the House, Senate, and executive branches of the federal government.

Progressives have perverted the meaning of the term American Dream in an effort to transform the America of our Founding Fathers. They would have you believe that the American Dream is about increased government benefits and government-created rights.

But the American Dream that our grandparents knew was about people, not government. It was about people declaring they were above government - that politicians are the employees of those who vote them into office, not the other way around. The survival of a democratic republic is possible only through a strong people and a weak government - a government so weak that the average person would rarely even think about its existence.

Simply put, the American Dream meant that each individual possessed the God-given right to his life, his liberty, and the pursuit of his own happiness - without interference from others, especially those in government.

Unfortunately, government's number-one function today is redistribution of wealth. Through generations of brainwashing, those who have become addicted to government benefits do not understand that no cause, no matter how worthy some people may believe it to be, justifies the violation of any individual's right to his own life and property.

The time has come to reject the progressives serpent-like notion that the American Dream is about receiving benefits and cradle-to-grave security from politicians. The American Dream is about liberty, and the keystone of the American Dream is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives.

The government's job is to protect the natural rights that all human beings inherit at birth. Never did the Founding Fathers suggest that the government had the authority to grant rights to anyone. Their only objective was to throw out the government. They wanted to be free. That is what gave birth to the American Dream and our Christian form of government.

All laws that legalize the taking of property from people without their consent, no matter in what terms such laws may be couched and no matter what the purported justifications of such laws may be, are anti-constitutional and immoral (in "spiritual effect": Anti-Christian)

The American Revolutionists were well aware of this, which is why there were no provisions in the Constitution providing for government to fulfill the needs and desires of individual citizens.

What makes America a Christian nation? Many Christians erroneously believe it depends on whether our not our Founders were Christians. Others believe it depends on if a vast majority of Americans are Christians. The problems with these "criteria" is when one or more of our Founders are found not to be Christians; does that negate the rest?

Who determines the arbitrary percentage of a population that must be Christian to qualify? 100%? 51%? What about when even our Christian Founding Fathers came short of the glory of God and sinned against the Indians (incidentally 1/2 of my heritage Creek Indian ~ the other 1/2 is Irish) or in other ways against the blacks.

Does the fallibility of Christians in a Christian nation negate the claim? OF COURSE NOT!!!!! Even as an individual Christian fails morally now and then, he or she still can claim the name of Christ without reservation.

A Christian nation is determined by its form of government, not who formed it. If the form of a nation's government is shaped by Biblical ideas of man and government, in contrast to pagan or man centered ideas, the the nation is a Christian nation. Thusly, the American government and Constitution is the ...political expression of Christian ideas.

The Preamble to the Constitution provides evidence that it is the product of Christianity and its ideas of man and government. In the Preamble is found a summary of the purpose of civil government. These five basic functions are revealed in Scripture as legitimate.

The first is "to establish justice." This is the first purpose of civil government. The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:14 that civil rulers exist "for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right." Even back in Genesis 9:6, God told Noah that "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed." This is justice!

The second purpose of civil government is "to insure domestic tranquility." This is found in Scripture in 1 Timothy 2:1,2 where Paul urges Christians to pray for civil rulers "in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity." Let US Pray as we never have before to heal our land!

The third is government is "to provide for the common defense." The protection of innocent human life is at the base of not only capital punishment, and domestic police force, but also in this third provision of army for protection from external threats. In Romans 13:4, it is affirmed that civil government "does not bear the sword for nothing."The "sword" in Scripture is equivalent to any military weapon used today, even nuclear weapons. The only thing that would make any weapons "immoral" is if there is not a sufficient amount to bring "wrath upon one who practices evil."

In an Christian nation if "external threats" have a huge arsenal, there must be at least equal amounts to deter aggression upon innocent human beings. Even Jesus Christ taught his disciples the legitimacy of being armed militarily, saying in Luke 22:36, "Now...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one." This is protective provision.

The fourth is government should "promote the general welfare." Romans 13:4 says civil rulers are servants "to you for good." The common good of all classes of citizens must be promoted by government passage of laws guaranteeing equal opportunity. Notice, our Framers choice of words here: promote, not provide. Scripture makes it clear that God is the provider, not the state or federal government, and that needy individuals are to be cared for by private acts of charity. A Biblical "free-enterprise system" must promote compassionate use of wealth, but socialism or communism is contrary to Biblical definitions of civil government.

Lastly, civil government exists to "secure blessings of liberty." "Blessings" are a gift of one's Creator, not a privilege granted by government. The most basic of these Creator-endowed blessings were defined in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution which mentions, "life, liberty, pursuit of happiness...and private property." Scripture shows God as the source of life in Genesis 1:27, "And God created man in His own image." He is the author of liberty as well--2 Corinthians 3:17 says, "Where the Spirit of The Lord is, there is liberty;" and Leviticus 25:10 says, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants." Scripture also defines God as the source of private property and "the pursuit of happiness" as expresses in the Declaration of Independence. Ecclesiastes 5:19 states, "For every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them...and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God."

When our Founders declared independence from England, they were well aware that great oppression was possible, not only when power is concentrated in a "monarchy", but also in the hands of "an elite"(such as The Federal Reserve Board who banks are owned by Rothschild and Rockerfeller etc.). Parliament was a national legislature with supreme authority. When our Founders drafted the Articles of Confederation in 1777, a National Congress was established but with very little power. The confederation placed supreme authority in the 13 state legislatures. The Continental Congress was mere a "committee of the 13 SOVEREIGN STATES" and its "President" was simply a "chairman" elected annually. Our Founders wanted to keep power decentralized.

In contrast to today these who want to centralize the authority in our nation, Our Founders, after they had apportioned most of the powers of government to the states, went even further, due to their mistrust of sinful men, and separated the few and limited powers of the NATIONAL government into three branches that would check each other. James Madison wrote: "The accumulation of all powers, legislature, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands whether of one, a few, or many...may justly be pronounced the very definition of TYRANNY." Thusly, the government was broken into these three divisions because that is how the Bible defined God's government of the universe in Isiah 33:22--"For The Lord is our judge (Chief Justice), the Lord is our lawgiver (Legislature), the Lord is our King (Chief Executive); He will save us". Since God is perfect and infallible, He can possess all three powers and still be just and fair, but not sinful man.

Our government therefore---specifically the first three Articles of The Constitution--- is reflection of The Church's government. God providentially shaped the colonization of America in such a way that democracy, aristocracy and monarchy would be blended together in a balanced Christian Republic---the first in history!

Besides bringing internal liberty to man, the introductions of Christianity in a nation will also manifest itself externally in political freedom. Also a government acting on Biblical principles is needed for a Christian economy. Government is the House in which the economy lives." It's policies must promote and protect economic freedom of that nation.

Economic freedom will then flow from personal and governmental freedom. This freedom includes a peoples freedom to own their own property...to choose their own occupation...to keep the fruits of there labors...to buy and sell in a free market, where wages and prices are determined not by government mandate or some Federal Reserve Board Chairman jerking the interest rates around, but by voluntary exchanges of FREE men and women with the "price" thereof being determined by need and supply and demand..

In a Christian society, men and women will be inspired by God to work. In addition, in a nation of economic freedom, men and women will be able to partake of the fruit of their labors which will encourage them to exert more energy. As men and women exert more energy and works harder, their material welfare and that of its nation) will increase.

A secular society will lack faith in God's Providence and consequently they will find fewer natural resources. The secular or socialist society has a limited resource mentality and views the world as a pie (there is only so much) that needs to be cut up so that everyone can get a piece. In contrast, the Christian knows the potential in God is unlimited and that there is no shortage of resources in God's earth. The resources are waiting to be tapped.

A far cry from todays standards. While application of Christian principles have caused the material welfare to increase greatly, this came at the expense of a greater life and liberty in other areas.The pressure to succeed is so great today, that many literally "sold-out" to their jobs and work so much that have no time for anything else. In a Christian economy people will earn more with less work which means: People will have more free-time for worship of God, Home Schooling and instruction, recreation, and service to others. People will have more money to give to Churches, charities, and foreign missionary efforts.

While America has in recent years abandoned some of the principles that produced our prosperity, we are still the most prosperous nation in the world. The best way to compare the real wealth of the people of one country with the wealth of the people of another is how many hours of work it takes a factory worker to earn the money needed to buy the same basic commodities in retail stores in that particular country. To purchase a loaf of bread, a "factory worker' must work 18 minutes in Moscow, 12 minutes in London, and 7 minutes in Washington DC. Lets look at an average car like a Ford, that work time is 35 months in Moscow, 8.5 months in London, and 4.1 months in Washington DC.

On the contrary, the primary reason that nations are in poverty is lack of spiritual resources and truth and a secular world-view. No offense intended here, but India is a good example of how a people's religion DIRECTLY AFFECTS its economic prosperity. Today, India has widespread hunger problems, yet those are not due to lack of food, but are a result of the peoples religious beliefs. The majority of India's people are Hindus.

The Hindu religion teaches that people who die are reincarnated as animals; therefore, their laws and religions prohibit the people from killing rats, mice, cows or other animals. There are 200 million "sacred cows" in India. Each cow eats enough to feed seven people. The feed from these cows alone would feed 1.4 billion people which incidentally is over 1/4 the world's population. The rice and rats, which they will not kill, eat much of their grains well. This grain, not to mention the meat from the cows, would supply plenty of food for all the starving people of India. The economic state of a Nation depends upon its religion!!!

So, my point is material welfare increases in a Christian Society because Christian "faith and character" help enlarge production. But the "profit motive" (aka our Capitalist American Society) or the economic incentives of "freedom" are also important. The profit motive provides individuals the NEEDED INCENTIVE in a Christian free economy based on individual enterprise." History shows that in a Christian free economy...men and women tend to invent more and better tools, invest more in producing those tools more efficiently than in a secular society with limited economic freedom.

For example, in recent years many nations that have operated on communistic economic principles, which eliminate the "profit motive", have been allowing more individual enterprise because it CAUSES people to be more productive. Two such nations are Russian and China (Rous and Gog & Magog).

Russia has allowed "each farming family 2-3 acres of ground to operate privately and sell its produce in the local market. These tiny private farm plots produce more meat, vegetables, and fruit than all of the huge government farms combined."

Communal farming with no individual incentive does not even work with Christian who have common vision, goals, and purposes. The Pilgrims gave us this valuable lesson from history in their first 2 years in America. Compelled by the contract with their financial backers, the Pilgrims farmed the land communally. the lack of incentive to work resulted in such a poor crop that the Pilgrims almost starved to death during their first two winters.

To alleviate this problem, the leaders shifted to an individual enterprise system where every family farmed their own parcel of land, and ate the fruit of their own labor. This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious...The women now went WILLINGLY into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn, which before would allege one had a weakness, and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression. They produced an abundant crop and never lacked for food again. Their example shows that the "taking away of property, and brining in community into a common wealth does not make people happy or CAUSE them to flourish as it would seem modern mankind, such as Marx, have espoused!

And finally, I wish to touch on Honest Money. A biblical Christian economy will have a honest money system. A honest citizen will not steal from another citizen whether in marketplace or as neighbor; and a honest civil government will not steal from its citizens by use of FIAT MONEY!!! Leviticus 19:35-37 states " You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight,or capacity. You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am the Lord Your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. You shall thus observe all MY statutes, and all MY ordinances, and DO them: I am the Lord."

Money is a commodity. It is something of GENUINE value in the marketplace, whether cattle, fur skins, spices, coconuts, shells, silver or gold-- all of which have in history been used as "money". Historically, "exchange" began with barter. Money simply makes "exchange" easier and more efficient as people can trade their "goods" for "money" and use the "money" to buy other things they want or need. In the Bible money was silver or gold, a precious metal. This is money based on principle.

Paper money initially is not money. It is a SUBSTITUTE for money, and is useful because it is difficult to fold coins into a wallet. But if paper money is"honest" it will always be BACKED by a specific amount of real, "hard" money, and is redeemable at any time.

America was on a gold standard through-out most of our history. In 1933, we shifted to a silver standard. In 1968, our silver certificates were "replaced" (my word here stolen) by Federal Reserve Notes thus eliminating HONEST MONEY from our nation. When we had HONEST MONEY there was never any prolonged inflation in this nation. Today paper money is not backed by anything except the government's promise that it is good. Compared to a 1932 dollar, the dollar today is worth about 5 cents...did you catch that.. a mere 5 pennies? It is interesting to note that an ounce of gold today will purchase about the same amount of goods that an ounce of gold bought 60 years ago.

Money with no precious metal backing, fiat money, allows the CENTRAL GOVERNMENT to spend more than it collects in taxes, because the FED (FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD) can print new "money" (increase the money supply) anytime there is a need. This is inflationary. Inflation is THEFT. Biblical law, thou shall not Steal!

One of the Biblical signs of a nation backsliding is the condition of its currency and the degree of honesty in its weights and measures. When nations began backsliding in history, dross (common-based metal) began to appear in their coinage. In rebuking Israel of old from turning from God, Isaiah points out how "your silver has become dross". (Isaiah 1:22).

To the average American today, inflation means an increase in prices. This, however, is simply the SYMPTOM of the National Government increasing the money supply to pay for their budget deficits. When the money supply is increased, either through printing more money or credit-expansion, the PURCHASING POWER of each dollar fails, and businesses must increase the prices they charge to keep up with their own higher costs. In effect, raising the "COST of living" and lowering the "STANDARD of Living". The only one to benefit from inflation is the first to spend money, (ie. the government). It is a HIDDEN form of tyrannical taxation because as the government spends more and more money created from thin air, the purchasing power of the citizens bank account goes down and down.

INFLATION IS OUTRIGHT THEFT! As I stated earlier remember the Bible declares, "thou shalt not steal" (Exodus 20:15). If a private citizen decides to set up a printing press and make some money, he is called a criminal (counterfeiting) and thrown into jail; if the government does the same thing it is called "monetizing the debt" or "stimulating the economy". What is the difference?

Inflation discourages savings by promoting a "spend now" attitude. It encourages "debt", DECEIVES PEOPLE about pay increases and future wealth accumulations, is a hidden theft tax, and decreases capital available for investment.

To get rid of inflation we should abolish the central bank (Federal Reserve), repeal all tender laws, and return to a gold warehouse receipt standard. In addition, we must also end fractional reserve banking...and do it now!


Banks were places for the safe keeping of money. People who used this service paid a fee for it. Gradually, banks began to act not only as warehouses to store money, but as intermediaries between savers who were willing to lend, and others who wanted to borrow. Banks could only loan out what they had in "reserve". If a bank was lending your money for you, you could not get it back until the borrower repaid it. You earned interest for your investment.

Today, American banks,International banks, and most banks in other nations have a fractional reserve banking system. Banks only need to keep a small percentage of "cash" in their vaults (around 10%), and can loan the rest. This is "inflationary" because "money" is created through the loaning process.

A persons property is what ever he has exclusive right to possess and control. Property is FIRST "internal" A persons conscience is his most precious aspect of property because it tells him what is right and wrong in his actions. Each person in a free government must be a good steward of his conscience and keep it clear. By doing so, he will know what is right and wrong from "within" and, therefore, he will be able to live his life in a right manner. How one takes care of his internal property will determine how he takes care of his external property. Governments exist to protect property of every sort, most importantly, liberty of conscience.

Before any property can be taken from us, we must give our consent. If our property can be taken without our consent, then we really have no property. This is why any taxes imposed by government on its citizens must be done by Elected Representatives of The People. We give our consent to taxes or laws affecting our property rights through our representatives. If they do not represent our views, we should work to replace them in a LAWFUL MANNER!


Congress refuses to balance its budget as a routine practice.. there has been only one balanced budget in the last 47 years. How do they get away with what every state government and private business and individual would be put in jail for? The answer is that they just print up more money. More FIAT Money. More DISHONEST money!!!!

The Constitution says in Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 5 that CONGRESS only has power "to coin money". In James Madison's notes of the Constitutional Convention he sys that originally the delegates considered allowing the Congress to "emit bills of credit" or (paper money), but Madison records that the phrase was struck out in order "to shut and bar the door against paper money." Later in Section 10, Paragraph 1, it states that only "gold and silver coin" would be legal "tender in the payment of debts." Andrew Jackson said: " It is apparent from the whole context of the Constitution as well as the history of the time which gave birth to it, that it was the purpose of the Convention to establish a currency consisting of the precious metals."

For about 80 years we had just that. But during the emergency of the Civil War, we began using paper money and never stopped. At least it was redeemable in gold or silver upon demand until 1933 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt used economic "emergency" powers to abolish the gold standard. Then, in 1968, the silver standard was suspended and our currency became completely unredeemable--merely "fiat" money. Now every time Congress wishes to pay off some of its excessive spending, instead of facing the public with higher taxes, it simply orders more money to be printed by the Federal Reserve and then it borrows it. When this happens everyone's money is automatically devalued in its purchasing power. It is a hidden tax; a "form" of theft.

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's."

"In the United States the Constitution is our Caesar. We are bound to pay what it stipulates is our due. BUT, neither citizens nor civil representatives must assume that Jesus gave rulers a blank check in the area of taxation...Paul informs citizens to pay taxes due to civil authorities (Romans 13:7). Notice that Paul does not say "WHAT THEY WANT." The state must limit taxing authority to those areas specified by God's Word. For the most part, our original Federal Constitution (prior to the 1913 passage of the 16th Amendment) has been faithful to the biblical mandate of limited taxation for a specific limited function....The tax limiting effects of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8), seemingly were nullified with the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913 with the introduction of the Federal Reserve Banking System. This amendment effectively gave The Federal Government unlimited taxing power.

This amendment also gave us the progressive income tax, which is an NON-BIBLICAL means of taxation that destroys personal property rights. These oppressive "forms" of taxation have come upon our nation as we have refused to govern and provide for ourselves as God intended us to do. When Israel stopped wanting to be self-governed and asked for a king to rule over them, they got a king with greater centralization of power. One consequence of this was the confiscation of their property through taxes (see 1 Samuel 8).

In conclusion, in America there are 3 types of Tyranny Taxes:


1: Income Tax- Another word for taxes is tribute. If God requires only 10% (tithe), to give civil government more would indicate the giving of greater "allegiance". This is Idolatry!



2: Property Tax- "Civil government in the United States, in direct violation of biblical law, owns all the land in the country, and rents some it to its citizens. If you do not pay the property tax (rent) you will be evicted irregardless as to whether the bank loan or mortgage on your home and/ or land is paid on time or even paid off! THIS IS THEFT! The government has no right whatsoever to tax property, and the principle of eminent domain is a claim to deity. It is specifically forbidden in Scripture (1 Samuel 8:14; 1 Kings 21; Ezekiel 46:18).

3: Inheritance Tax - "Nowhere does the Bible allow the fruit of a man's labor to be taken from him after he dies and before his children receive it. This is one way that they kingdom is continued and built. Godly children should not have to start at the bottom when they begin. This increases the wealth in the Kingdom of God.

In a Christian economy the children will be wealthier than their parents because the estate will continue to grow and be built up with each generation.

In the America of our Founders and the Bible mentions two kinds of taxes:

1: HEAD TAX or POLL TAX (Ezekiel 30:11-16) -- This tax supported the state in it's duties. It was an uniform tax that each male over 20 paid. It was of necessity small so the poor would not be oppressed in paying it.

2: TITHE-- A tenth of each person's increase was given to the priest and Levites for them to meet the necessary ecclesiastical and societal functions of society. It supports the church and the aspects of welfare, education, and other Godly social needs. We could say the tithe is a "tax" on people income. If citizens would tithe, the amount of money the civil government would need to collect would be drastically less.

"Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christian for their rulers".

A Cliff-Notes version of What The American Dream is and what a Christian Nation is:



* It is about having a strong people and a weak government.

* It is about the right of every citizen to keep the fruits of his labor.

* It is about the sanctity of each individual's natural right to maintain sole dominion over his own life.

* It is about true prosperity - not false prosperity generated through government schemes.

* It is about every individual's natural right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

* It is about self responsibility and self-reliance.

* It is about the opportunity to succeed or fail according to one's own abilities and efforts.

* It is about the freedom to openly criticize the government.

* It is about people being above government.

* ABOVE ALL, the foundational premise of the American Dream is that liberty MUST BE given a higher priority than all other objectives.

Unforgiven and Forgotten

dedicated to all those who have ever felt pain or sorrow

Unforgiven and Forgotten-
by sanctimonious parents
full of condemnation
void of grace,
knelt an unwed pregnant teen...
next to a make-shift altar,
painfully praying for acceptance.

Unforgiven and Forgotten-
by children of accomplishment
overflowing with pampered vanity
meager in generosity,
stood a scorned, poverty-stricken mother...
in front of a picture of Jesus,
painfully praying for acceptance.

In a hospital
where the voice of compassion speaks
and unadulterated humility reigns,
gathered a mercenary family of strangers...
some worked saving the preemie Baby Grace,
the others ambition a pauper stroke victim.
Each hitching a ride on angels wings
no longer

Unforgiven and Forgotten



Author's Note:

This is a "flashback" sequel to my poem Fragile and Alone set in an old apartment building. Baby Grace neglected and always left alone in her cradle lived on the second floor(laying on her back she was always looking up), and the elderly pauper lady who lived on the top floor (abandoned by her rich & pampered children too busy with their careers) who sits in here rocking chair dejected and always looking down at the floor (which is the ceiling of Baby Grace: catch the image here). Anyway...in that poem some have asked me how did they get to the point of being alone in the dire circumstances they did. I thought long and hard about how I envisioned then when I wrote the first poem Fragile and Alone set to this same tempo. This was my take on how they ended up there. Sadly this is true in our society; although, to some of us it is hard to understand. We can't change families. Yet we can help to change the world one person at at time when we allow ourselves to see these things and make the conscious choice to get involved and do "what we can". Hope you enjoy this one as much as Fragile and Alone. Blessings!!!

The Experience of Solitude : The SELAH

Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is "within" you. Only you should "surrender" to Him and you will "rise above" happiness and unhappiness. When we LEARN the true "gift" of taking one day at a time (often one moment at a time), our "fears" melt into stepping stones: our "hopes" grow into rainbows. The "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow is "the sacredness" of living "in the moment" instead of yesterday or tomorrow!

This paragraph began as just my "status" on Facebook today. Last week I started a new job. Needless to say it was quite a hectic week. I felt my mind arrested while training for all that is expected of me in my new position. Yet, this morning as I sat in solitude allowing my thoughts to filter and file themselves away into their appropriate places (some went to the trash, others on a shelf for "deeper processing later"), I found myself contemplating the "experience" of Solitude in my life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote: "There are voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint as we enter into the world".

Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. The artist knows she must be alone to create; the writer, to work out her thoughts; the musician, to compose; the saint, to pray; the engineer, to design; the pastor, to listen to God's voice and prepare her sermon.

Yes, I have used the feminine here. Being a woman, I truly understand that women NEED solitude in order to find "again" the true essence of themselves. Men have their "man-caves"...that den with the TV where the boys can come over and watch the game etc. For women, the challenge is not entirely in finding "the room" of one's own, the time alone, as difficult and necessary as this is. The true challenge is more how to still the soul in the midst of its activities in order to "feed" her soul. Greta Garbo never declared that she wanted to be "alone". She said: "I want to be LEFT alone." There is a significant difference.

I don't own a cell phone any more. It is precisely this very reason that I gave it up. After losing my Corporate job last December, the "necessity" of a cell phone went away. What I found was everyone used it for "their" convenience of calling "at a moments" notice. What I found more revealing was the "effect" it had on my "being". My "solitude" became invaded. I have a home phone, leave me a message and I will get back to you when it is convenient for me.

Over the years as I have gradually tried to HONOR Spirit's unfolding in my life by not neglecting the gifts WITHIN me, I have meditated long and hard about this inner directive, this CRAVING for "solitude". I love the company of my mate; I adore and love spending QUALITY time with my close friends and family; I get so excited when "masterminding and brainstorming" with a professional team of people. But what I have discovered that brings me the most delight is The SELAH. While living my most authentic self and composing the symphony of my life, I have found that in order to "share" the music of my soul in the most beneficial way that some of the notes require "pauses". In the Psalms...how often is there written something profound only to have the word Selah mark its finish.

I yearn for those moments of Selah "my time, with no obligations except toward that most inner world and what is going on inside there, and the communion and time spent with self and God." Maya Angelou once said "A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her."

I believe this should be true not only that a man has to seek Him just to find her, but "our children", and "our friends"...for then we are truly "sharing" our time together unabated, without regret, and without competition. To maintain inner harmony it is ESSENTIAL for me to "set-aside" a couple of hours worth of "solitude" out of EVERY 24 hours to defend "the essence of me" against all intruders and distractions. There are times when a friend will call impromptu and want to "get together", and I will say "Not today". My saying "not today" is not saying NO to "that individual" but saying YES "to my self".

Deliberately SEEKING solitude "and by that I mean QUALITY time spent AWAY from family and friends may "appear" SELFISH but hear me loud and clear....IT IS NOT BEING SELFISH! No Ma'am! Solitude is as necessary for our "creative spirits" to develop and flourish as are sleep and food for our "bodies to survive". Living in America and this fast paced western culture today, this is a difficult lesson to learn to literally LEAVE one's friends and family and DELIBERATELY practice the "art of solitude" minimally for an hour a day. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a QUALITY to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, RICHER, more VIVID, fuller than before.

It's impossible to "experience solitude" regularly for any extended length of time without personal passions and authentic longings surging to the surface of your awareness. You soon learn to follow the wisdom of your own heart and have the results begin to blossom in your life. When you make the conscious choice to RISK YOUR SIGNIFICANCE, and live so that all the information that comes your way as a "seed" goes on to the next waiting soul as "blossom"...then The Garden of God will truly come to life for that which came as blossom goes on as "fruit". We must learn to navigate our lives FROM THE INSIDE OUT (where God dwells) so that rather being at the mercy of lifes changes, we are able to offer the world the gifts that are yours alone to give. Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.Chose your dance carefully! It is my hope that in sharing my message of solitude today, that you will never again be FORCED to move to the rhythm of others.

Let me reassure you that there is a better path. When you learn to respect yourselves and cherish your need for solitude, you realize that solitude cracks open the door to LIVING LIFE...versus just mundanely "going through the motions" unfulfilled, drained and exhausted, and barely crawling into bed at night only to toss and turn waking unrested.

Those of you who don't take time out for solitude are at risk of a serious toll on your health and are likely to suffer from "privacy deprivation syndrome". Yes, this is just as serious as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Most have heard of PTSD and know its effect on family, and relationships. But not many know of "privacy deprivation syndrome". Symptoms include increasing resentment, mood swings, chronic fatigue, as well as depression.

Sound familiar? Sound alarming? IT IS!

I was once a sufferer myself struggling through the day in a vacuum of unfulfilled exasperation, only to drop into bed too emotionally depleted to sleep well at night. I wanted to blame my mate...but the truth is it was my own doing by not saying NO...I NEED time for ME...instead I pushed forward checking off the list prepared for me. The smallest thing set me off, bringing tears and tantrums. Soon my work and personal relationship began to suffer. Why? Because the never refreshed are no fun to be around. The cycle may continue unabated until physical illness sets in. I found myself suddenly sick with the flu that lasted for over a month (and I hadn't been sick in 10 years). When I finally got rid of the flu, I kept a sinus infection that I couldn't shake the whole fall last year.

I share my personal story here with you to send the message loud and clear that you don't have to make yourselves sick in order to get a time-out. Unfortunately for so many women especially, this is the ONLY time you allow yourselves "down-time" and time alone or "solitude" (with no expectations placed on us). This may be how real life is for many of you reading this today. I urge you to carve out "soul-caring time". Everyone can all find ways to regenerate once the realization of just how ESSENTIAL solitude is to your "experience" of inner harmony.

Begin slowly but with RESOLVE and take comfort in knowing this can add up to a lifetime of SERENITY. Be patient. And yes there are going to be "those days" ( and I just came off a week of "those days") when you don't have a moment to yourself, take to heart the advice of photographer Minor White who discovered that "No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen."

Lastly, I want to end with a few quotes from one of my many mentors from whom I have learned much.

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." -Maya Angelou

"Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman"— Maya Angelou

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. "— Maya Angelou

"A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing.
She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination
prepared to be herself and only herself
"— Maya Angelou

"Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' Have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avoiding you because, they, too, have knees that pain them and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you."— Maya Angelou

"The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart."— Maya Angelou

In conclusion, I pray that with each stroke of the keyboard, every time my mind shifts and cracks like molten lava, and a stirring happens within me compelling me to share with you, that the music of my heart reaches out and not only touches yours...but moves you.

How To Restore The Constitution & Abolish The ILLEGAL Federal Reserve Banking System

“The high office of the President has been used to foment a
plot to destroy the American’s freedom and before I leave office, I
must inform the citizens of this plight.”
—- President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
-- Columbia University, Nov. 12, 1963,
ten days before his assassination.


Our country, (as do I) likes to thank our forefathers for the Constitution.

I wish to "additionally" thank Mr. Lou Gamboa for his research of the Constitution and our banking system. Lou Gamboa is a national speaker on the subject, and has spoken on numerous radio programs in an effort to educate the public. Lou is a Republican Committeeman and Treasurer of Taxpayers of Illinois.

I also want to thank Bob Corcoran for his research and encouragement.

I applaud the thousands of patriotic Americans who are spreading the word so we can live in economic prosperity and uphold our Constitutional rights.

ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8 OF THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT CONGRESS SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO COIN (CREATE) MONEY AND REGULATE THE VALUE THEREOF.

IN 1935 THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT CONGRESS CANNOT CONSTITUTIONALLY DELEGATE ITS POWER TO ANOTHER GROUP. (Reference 22, P. 168)


Rothschild, a London Banker, wrote a letter saying “It (Central Bank ) gives the National Bank almost complete control of national finance. The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class… The great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical (contrary) to their interests.” [The bankers created the legislation for the FED]

In 1913, before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, Mr. Alexander stated:

But the whole scheme of a Federal Reserve Bank with its commercial-paper basis is an impractical, cumbersome machinery, is simply a cover, to find a way to secure the privilege of issuing money and to evade payment of as much tax upon circulation as possible, and then control the issue and maintain, instead of reduce, interest rates. It is a system that, if inaugurated, will prove to the advantage of the few and the detriment of the people of the United States. It will mean continued shortage of actual money and further extension of credits; for when there is a lack of real money people have to borrow credit to their cost.

Dear American:

Pursuant to your request, I will attempt to clear up questions you have about the Federal Reserve Bank (FED). I spent much time researching the FED and these are the shocking and revealing conclusions.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof. Today however, the FED, which is a privately owned company, controls and profits by printing money through the Treasury, and regulating its value.

The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners (stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share – the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison (Reference 1, 14). The FED banking system collects billions of dollars (Reference 8, 17) in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money (through the Treasury) at no interest to the FED. The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud (Reference 1,2,3,5,17).

Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed:

1. Rothschild Bank of London
2. Warburg Bank of Hamburg
3. Rothschild Bank of Berlin
4. Lehman Brothers of New York
5. Lazard Brothers of Paris
6. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
7. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
8. Goldman, Sachs of New York
9. Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
10. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
11. (Reference 14, P. 13, Reference 12, P. 152)

These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America (our forefathers were fighting their own government), they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt (Reference 4, 22).

The individuals listed below owned banks which in turn owned shares in the FED. The banks listed below have significant control over the New York FED District, which controls the other 11 FED Districts. These banks also are partly foreign owned and control the New York FED District Bank.
(Reference 22)

* First National Bank of New York
* James Stillman
* National City Bank, New York
* Mary W. Harnman
* National Bank of Commerce, New York
* A.D. Jiullard
* Hanover National Bank, New York
* Jacob Schiff
* Chase National Bank, New York
* Thomas F. Ryan
* Paul Warburg
* William Rockefeller
* Levi P. Morton
* M.T. Pyne
* George F. Baker
* Percy Pyne
* Mrs. G.F. St. George
* J.W. Sterling
* Katherine St. George
* H.P. Davidson
* J.P. Morgan (Equitable Life/Mutual Life)
* Edith Brevour T. Baker
* (Reference 4 for above, Reference 22 has details, P. 92, 93, 96, 179)

How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson’s campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation (Reference 3, 4, 5). When elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied (referring to the FED), “I have unwittingly ruined my country” (Reference 17, P. 31). Now the banks financially back sympathetic candidates. Not surprisingly, most of these candidates are elected (Reference 1, P. 208-210, Reference 12, P. 235, Reference 14, P. 36). The bankers employ members of the Congress on weekends (nickname T&T club -out Thursday…-in Tuesday) with lucrative salaries (Reference 1, P. 209). Additionally, the FED started buying up the media in the 1930’s and now owns or significantly influences most of it
(Reference 3, 10, 11, P. 145).

Presidents Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy tried to stop this family of bankers by printing U.S. dollars without charging the taxpayers interest (Reference 4). Today, if the government runs a deficit, the FED prints dollars through the U.S. Treasury, buys the debt, and the dollars are circulated into the economy. In 1992, taxpayers paid the FED banking system $286 billion in interest on debt the FED purchased by printing money virtually cost free (Reference 12, P. 265). Forty percent of our personal federal income taxes goes to pay this interest. The FED’s books are not open to the public. Congress has yet to audit it.

Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913. Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduces legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 nearly every year. It’s always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress (Reference 12, P. 155-163, Reference 22, P. 158, 159, 166). THE FED FEARS THE POPULATION WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS FRAUD AND DEMAND CHANGE. We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue.

Rep. Louis T. McFadden (R. Pa.) rose from office boy to become cashier and then President of the First National Bank in Canton Ohio. For 12 years he served as Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, making him one of the foremost financial authorities in America. He fought continuously for fiscal integrity and a return to constitutional government (Reference 1). The following are portions of Rep. McFadden’s speech, quoted from the Congressional Record, pages 12595-12603:

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, A GOVERNMENT BOARD, HAS CHEATED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OUT OF ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT SEVERAL TIMES OVER.”

About the Federal Reserve banks, Rep. McFadden said, “They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; the rich and predatory money lenders. This is an era of economic misery and for the reasons that caused that misery, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable.”

On the subject of media control he state, “Half a million dollars was spent on one part of the propaganda organized by those same European bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion in regard to it.”

Rep. McFadden continued, “Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has USURPED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT CONTROLS EVERYTHING HERE AND IT CONTROLS ALL OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. IT MAKES AND BREAKS GOVERNMENTS AT WILL. No man and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. These evil-doers have robbed this country of more than enough money to pay the national debt. What the Government has permitted the Federal Reserve Board to steal from the people should now be restored to the people.”

“Our people’s money to the extent of $1,200,000,000 has within the last few months been shipped abroad to redeem Federal Reserve Notes and to pay other gambling debts of the traitorous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. The greater part of our monetary stock has been shipped to foreigners. Why should we promise to pay the debts of foreigners to foreigners? Why should American Farmers and wage earners add millions of foreigners to the number of their dependents? Why should the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks be permitted to finance our competitors in all parts of the world?” Rep. McFadden asked.

“The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. FAITHLESS GOVERNMENT OFFICERS WHO HAVE VIOLATED THEIR OATHS SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND BROUGHT TO TRIAL”, Rep. McFadden concluded (Reference 1, contains an entire chapter on Rep. McFadden’s speech).

If the media is unbiased, independent and completely thorough, why haven’t they discussed the FED? Currently, half the states have at least a grass roots movement in action to abolish the FED, but there’s no press coverage. In July, 1968, the House Banking Subcommittee reported that Rockefeller, through Chase Manhattan Bank, controlled 5.9% of the stock in CBS. Furthermore, the bank had gained interlocking directorates with ABC. In 1974, Congress issued a report stating that the Chase Manhattan Bank’s stake in CBS rose to 14.1% and NBC to 4.5% (through RCA, the parent company of NBC). The same report said that the Chase Manhattan Bank held stock in 28 broadcasting firms. After this report, the Chase Manhattan Bank obtained 6.7% of ABC, and today the percentage could be much greater. It only requires 5% ownership to significantly influence the media (Reference 14, P. 56-57). This is only one of 300 wealthy shareholders of the FED. It is believed other FED owners have similar holdings in the media. To control the media, FED bankers call in their loans if the media disagrees with them (Reference 25, P. 134-137).

Rockefeller also controls the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the sole purpose of which is to aid in stimulating greater interest in foreign affairs and in a one world government. Nearly every major newscaster belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations. The Council on Foreign Relations controls many major newspapers and magazines. Additionally, major corporations owned by FED shareholders are the source of huge advertising revenues which surely would influence the media (Reference 14, P. 56-59). It can be no wonder why groups such as FED-UP(tm) receive minimal, if any, press attention.

How do taxpayers stop financing those whose purpose it is to destroy us? First, expose their activity, then demand change.

THE SOLUTION:

Currently all we do is exchange FED money (interest attached) for real U.S. money (interest-free) dollar for dollar as Kennedy tried to do. We should not be required to pay interest on our own currency. According to Benjamin Franklin, this was one of the primary reasons we fought the Revolutionary War. Today we are still fighting the same family of bankers (Reference 4, Reference 1, P. 211, 212).

The U.S. Government can buy back the FED at any time for $450 million (per Congressional record). The U.S. Treasury could then collect all the profit on our money instead of the 300 original shareholders of the FED. The $4 trillion of U.S. debt could be exchanged dollar for dollar with U.S. non- interest bearing currency when the debt becomes due. There would be no inflation because there would be no additional currency in circulation. Personal income tax could be cut if we bought back the FED and therefore, the economy would expand. According to the Constitution, Congress is to control the creation of money, keeping the amount of inflation or deflation in check. If Congress isn’t doing their job, they should be voted out of office. Unfortunately, voters can’t vote the FED or its Chairman out of office.

If the government has a deficit, we could handle it as Lincoln and Kennedy did. Print money and circulate it into the economy, but this time interest-free. Today the FED, through foreign banks, owns much of our debt and therefore controls us. The FED will cease to exist as taxpayers become informed and tell other taxpayers. The news media and Congress will have no choice but to meet the demands of grass roots America. (Reference 1, P. 17, 22)

AMERICA DECEIVED

By law (check the Congressional record), we can buy back the FED for the original investment of the FED’s 300 shareholders, which is $450 million (Reference 1, P. 227, Reference 17, P. 36). If each taxpayer paid $25, we could buy back the FED and all the profit would flow into the U.S. Treasury. In other words, by Congress allowing the constitutionally illegal FED to continue, much of your taxes go to the shareholders of the FED and their bankers. Note: The people who enacted the FED started the IRS, within months of the FED’s inception. The FED buys U.S. debt with money they printed from nothing, then charges the U.S. taxpayers interest. The government had to create income tax to pay the interest expense to the FED’s shareholders, but the income tax was never legally passed (Reference 20 shows details, state-by-state why it was not legally passed). The FED is illegal, per Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. Not one state legally ratified the 16th Amendment making income tax legal. Currently, fewer and fewer Americans are being convicted for refusal to pay income taxes. In IRS jury trials, the jury, by law, must decide if the law is just. If taxpayers do not believe the law is just, the jury may declare the accused innocent. Judges are legally bound to inform juries of their right to determine the fairness of a law. Judges often do not disclose this information so they can control the court outcome. Luckily, more and more citizens are becoming informed. If one juror feels the law is unfair, they can find the defendant innocent (Reference 19). In Utah, the IRS quit prosecuting taxpayers because jurors verdict is not guilty. Please tell your friends and sit in the next jury.

If we eliminate the FED and uphold the Constitution, we could balance the budget and cut personal income tax to almost nothing. In Congressional hearings on September 30, 1941, FED Chairman Eccles admitted that the FED creates new money from thin air (printing press), and loans it back to us at interest (Reference 17, P. 93). On June 6, 1960, FED President Mr. Allen admitted essentially the same thing (Reference 22, P. 164). If you or I did this we would go to jail.

It is time to abolish the FED! Tell your friends the truth and win America back. We don’t even need to buy back the FED. We only need to print money the way the Constitution requires, not the new proposed international money. We want to keep our sovereignty and print real U.S. money. Why has Congress allowed the FED to continue? If a Congressperson tries to abolish the FED, the banks fund the Congressperson’s opponent in the next election (Reference 17, P. 35). The new Congressperson will obviously support the FED. When Congresspeople retire, political campaign funds are not taxed. Get elected and be a millionaire if you vote right. By the way, the profit of the FED is not taxed either (Reference 1, 9). Once America understands, and takes action, Congresspeople will then gladly abolish the FED. In 1992, Illinois Congressman Crane introduced a bill, co-sponsored by 40 other Congressman, to audit the FED. This is a step in the right direction.

America is a great nation. As “We the People” become informed, the media and Congress will be forced to buy back the FED, balance the budget, significantly cut taxes, and stop allowing bribes to determine voting strategies. I have already heard from politicians who claim they will change their platform to include abolishing the FED if enough people become informed. IT IS UP TO YOU TO INFORM THE PEOPLE.

The FED hopes you will be passive and not act on this information. We believe in grass roots America – we are waking up America. Ultimately, the battle plan is to inform all Americans and demand change in the media and Congress. True Americans should run for office and throw out the politicians who allow this fraud to continue. Congress may refuse to deal with this issue. That’s why each person needs to go to their local county/state government with the proper paperwork and ask them to abolish the FED. With the proper documents, they are legally obligated to do it. WE NEED LEADERS TO BEGIN THIS ACTION. WILL YOU HELP?

Consider this fact. Most of the given sources in this booklet show how the blood line of family bankers who own the FED funded both sides of all major wars. They created fake colonial money to destroy the Americans during the Revolutionary War and tried to finance both sides in the American Civil War. Abraham Lincoln refused and the South accepted. Many publications show that these bankers financed World War I, World War II, and the Russian Revolutionary War, which helped Napoleon, Lenin, and Hitler come to power. They financed both sides from money created from nothing and profited greatly. These same bankers created a number of American depressions to change the U.S. legislation and seize our wealth. Read the sources for details. This is why our forefathers wrote in the Constitution that only Congress can issue money – not private banks (Reference 18). More wars create more debt which means more profit to the bankers (Reference 1, 21). These bankers planned three world wars so people would welcome United Nations intervention to govern the world in peace, not war. (Reference 22 gives specific details on World War I and World War II, showing exactly how the bankers were responsible for the beginning and continuation of these wars for their profit).

The banks have publicly announced they will force us to a cashless society. Furthermore, they plan to create a one world government through the United Nations headed by the FED, Trilaterals, and the Council on Foreign Relations (Reference 3). By the definition of treason, they have committed treason! This means you lose your rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Does this sound far fetched? Twenty-four U.S. Senators (two of them presidential candidates, Harkin & Tsongas) and 80 Representatives have signed a “Declaration of Interdependence.” This Declaration, designed to make a one world government, is treason to the oath of office they took. The media remained silent. The FED announced publicly that their first objective was to get nationalism out of the American people’s heads because patriotism to a country would not be of value in the future. The media makes us think the U.N. has all the answers, and to “think globally.” Congress passed a law stopping certain individuals from being tried for this treason (Reference 6, Reference 1, P. 191-198). Why pass this law if no treason was committed? State Department document 7277 calls for the disarming of America, thus turning our sovereignty over to a one-world government. Again, the media is pushing to eliminate guns. Our forefathers believed that the right to bear arms would prevent a takeover of our government. History shows that before any government took over, they disarmed the citizens. Hitler did it, and before our Revolutionary War, King George told us to disarm – good thing we didn’t!

Under the Federal Reserve Bank Act, the bankers control our economy. The FED controls interest rates and the amount of money in the economy. These factors determine either economic prosperity or the lack thereof. Bankers are now pushing for a one world government and a cashless society. Why cashless? No cash means no money for drugs, no theft, and the ability to collect taxes on the underground economy. Anyone who wouldn’t support a cashless society must be a drug dealer, thief, or tax evader, right? What a cashless society really means is the banks can now control you. Today you fear the IRS. In a cashless society, if you disagree with the bankers’ political goals, you’ll find your money gone via computer error. (For additional information on a cashless society, read Reference 13, P. 174; Reference 3; Reference 14, P. 9-12; Reference 15, P. 136; Reference 25, P. 216).

If you could accurately predict future interest rates, inflation and deflation, you would know when to buy or sell stocks and make a bundle of money. The FED has secret meetings (per Congressional Record) to determine future interest rates and the amount of money to be printed. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) by law, stops insiders from profiting by privileged information. Congressional records prove that FED bankers routinely hold secret meetings to profit by manipulating the stock market via interest rates and the amount of money they create. FED bankers also profit greatly from economic disasters like the Depression (Reference 22, P. 56). The bankers create inflation, sell their stocks before the market crashes, then buy up stocks at cheaper prices. Bankers admitted this to Congress. This violates the law, yet Congress does not act because these bankers are large political contributors (Reference 17, P. 96-98; Reference 1, P. 162-163; Reference 22, P. 114-170 & P. 136). Thomas Jefferson predicted this scenario if we ever allowed a private bank, like the FED, to create our currency (Reference 1, P. 247).

FED Chairman Burns states “Killing can be made simply by knowing the next few months newspapers ahead of time.” Congressman Patman said “The FED officials own more than 100 million dollars (of stocks) while making decisions influencing these stock prices…” (Reference 24, P. 123). History proves that banks profit from bankrupting a nation (Reference 22, P. 56).

Congress consistently defeats balanced budget amendments. In the past 30 years, Congress has raised our taxes 56 times and balanced the budget only once. We need the sound banking system our forefathers wanted us to have. History proves that banking systems like the FED don’t work. Major world powers have been destroyed over similar banking systems (Reference 1). If we don’t change this system NOW, in five years the only thing our taxes will pay is the interest on the national debt.

Section 7 of the Federal Reserve Act, passed December 23, 1913, states that much of the profit of the FED should flow into the U.S. Treasury. In 1959, new legislation allowed the FED to transfer bonds to commercial banks at no cost to the bank. Now the FED receives less interest income and less profit for the U.S. Treasury because the money is diverted to other banks through an accounting entry (Reference 17, P. 115-130). Congress and the IRS do not have access to the financial records of the FED. Every year Congress introduces legislation to audit the FED, and every year it is defeated. The FED banking system could easily be netting 100s of billions in profit each year. Through “creative accounting” profit can easily be reclassified as expense (Reference 14, P. 20, Reference 17, P. 239). Within the first few years, the shareholders of the FED received their initial investment back with no risk. All the income is tax-free, except for property tax, according to the Federal Reserve Act. When are the profits of the FED going to start flowing into the Treasury so that average Americans are no longer burdened with excessive, unnecessary taxes? Clearly, Congress cannot or will not control the FED. IT IS TIME TO ABOLISH IT!

3 WAYS TO ABOLISH THE FED AND ISSUE MONEY PER THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8:

* Buy back the FED and have the U.S. Government collect all profits.

* Abolish the FED by printing real U.S. dollars as President Kennedy attempted (Executive Order 11.110, 1963) (Reference 4).

* Request your county/state to use their Constitutional powers to abolish the FED. This is the BEST SOLUTION. Nearly half the states are attempting or considering this action (Reference 5). Congress has had 80 years to follow the Constitution, and has refused to abolish the illegal FED. The state/county effort is working faster than any other method. We need your support to start a local chapter of FED-UP(tm) Inc. and petition your county.

THE WRONG SOLUTION THAT HAS FAILED FOR 80 YEARS:

Congress and the media may want to require the FED to return the required profits into the U.S. Treasury (per the Federal Reserve Act, 1913). The problem is that with “creative accounting” techniques, profit can be easily masked as expense. The FED has expensed items illegally to lower profit (Reference 17).

“We the People” have pushed the following states to pass or introduce legislation calling for an end to the FED: Arizona, Washington, Arkansas, Idaho, Oregon, Indiana, and Texas. We still need your signatures on petitions, even if you live in these states. Many other states are considering such action due to your petitions. These states and a few honest Congresspeople are powerless until all Americans become informed and demand change. Please pass out the petition. Once we demand change, the media will have to report the whole truth and not just push their own agenda. FED-UP(tm) challenges the media to expose the facts on prime time talk shows or news programs.

By abolishing the FED, we would not pay interest on Federal Reserve Notes. Until it is abolished, the FED has a monopoly on profit on our currency and whether our money supply will be increased or decreased, inflation or depression. The banks are capable of controlling business by controlling who can or cannot obtain a loan.

WE’VE DONE OUR PART – NOW IT IS UP TO YOU TO SPREAD THE WORD. Please take the brochure (Cutting taxes $6,000 per family per year) to VFW, Moose/Elk Lodges, Bars, Union Halls, Churches, and Association groups. Make copies of the “single-page” brochure for everyone at work and ask your friends to do the same. Ask small business owners in your community to tell other business owners and spread the brochure and petition through the local Chamber of Commerce. CPAs should be interested in saving their clients taxes. Ask your CPA to mail the brochure and petition out to his/her clients. Upon receiving this petition, many presidents of large corporations made this brochure and petition available to all employees. Once people are informed, we can force a change. People will have more money to spend, the economy will be strong, and we can keep our Constitutional rights, liberties, and freedoms.

Contact your library for the names and addresses of your local and federal Congresspeople. MAIL THEM AN ENVELOPE WITHOUT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ATTACHED. In the envelope, say “FED-UP(tm) Inc. Abolish the FED.” Also enclose one teabag (Boston Tea Party). Ask your friends to do the same (give them the addresses). Politicians are aware of the “Teabag Protest.” If you don’t mail it in, they’re going to believe that we’re not organized or we just don’t care. IF YOU DON’T DO IT NO ONE ELSE WILL! Many Congresspeople want to make this change, but can’t without the support of the people.
WHY OUR FOREFATHERS FOUGHT THE FED

“Allow me to control the issue and the nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws!” The above quote has long been attributed to the 18th century banker Amshell Rothschild (his blood line controls the FED). For if one unscrupulous group is allowed to print a nation’s money – it can eventually use that money to gain control of the press AND the politicians – and thus gain control of making the nation’s laws – and finally – control of the nation itself. (Reference 4)

If you will take the time to read the reference material listed which has been researched by Professors of Universities, Congresspeople, etc, you will turn up information that might frighten you. For instance, in 1921 the stockholders of the Federal Reserve financed an organization called the “Council on Foreign Relations” (CFR). Harpers magazine called this the most powerful organization in the United States. Ninety percent of the people in the State Department and key positions in the Executive Branch are members of the CFR. The CFR publishes a magazine called “Foreign Affairs.” Read it if you want to know what is going to happen in coming years. The CFR is in favor of a New World Order (Reference 3).

Congressman Patman re-quoted Thomas Jefferson showing that our founding fathers knew this banking principle very well. “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies….” “Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money),” he said, “should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” The American Revolution was a struggle to wrest control of wealth from the Bank of England and to restore the centers of power to the People where it “properly belongs.” The Constitution is specific about the authority of the People, through their elected officials, to control the money, and thus, the affairs of their government. (Reference 5, P. 32).

Ben Franklin said in his autobiography that the inability of the colonists to get the power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was [one of] the PRIME reason[s] for the Revolutionary War. (Quoted in Reference 4)

Thomas Jefferson stated, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” (Reference 1, P. 247) (Look around at all the FORECLOSURES this past year 2009 alone...must-less the number of previous homeless)

Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh of Minnesota said: “This [Federal Reserve] Act establishes the most gigantic trust on Earth. When the President [Wilson] signs this bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalized… the worst legislative crime of the ages, perpetuated by this banking and currency bill.” (Reference 5, P. 33)

Robert H. Hemphill (Credit Manager, Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta): “We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash, or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It [the banking problem] is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects are remedied very soon.” (Reference 1, P. 247)

Napoleon, a sympathizer for the international bankers, turned against them in the last years of his rule. He said: “When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” (Reference 4)

Congresspeople have referred to Federal Reserve Notes as “FIAT” (no- backing) money. (Reference 1, P. 128, 169)

In 1879 the Supreme Court declared that the U.S. Government can legally issue United States Notes, debt and interest-free, just as Lincoln and Kennedy attempted. (Reference 1, P. 233)

A bank that attempted to repossess property on the basis of default faced Judge Mahoney in a jury trial. Jerome Daly was found innocent. The bank could not foreclose on the property because it created the loan money from thin air, as many banks do. Use this as a precedent the next time any bank tries to foreclose on your house. (Reference 17, P. 82, 83 for court records)

The FED violates Security & Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. (Reference 17, P. 96-98)

California 9th Circuit Court declared FED banks are private, not government. (Reference 17, P. 273)

Mr. Marriner Eccles, who was Chairman of the board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System longer than any other man, testified before the Joint Economic Committee in August 1962. When Chairman Rep. Wright Patman asked whether it was not a fact that the Federal Reserve System has more power than either the Congress or the President, Eccles replied: “In the field of money and credit, yes.” (Reference 1, P. 206)

Dr. Hans F. Sennholz, Chairman of the Department of Economics at Grove City (PA) College stated: “The Federal Reserve System facilitates the government’s own inflationary financing in “periods of emergency.” It makes easy the inflationary financing of budget deficits and the inflationary refunding of government loans. It stabilizes the government bond market through inflationary methods and manipulates this market to the advantage of the government. It does all this by wrecking the purchasing power of the dollar; by subtly stealing from the people of this country what it thus provides for the government, through a process exactly on par with the coin-clipping of ancient kings – but much more diabolical because it’s so much less visible.” (Reference 1, P. 250, 251)

Source: Banking Act of 1935, Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Banking and Currency Committee, U.S. Senate, 74th Congress, 1st Session, on S.1715, May 1935, pp 871-2. “The Federal Reserve System is in the wrong hands. No Constitutional republic can function when the government’s money powers are in the hands of the financial oligarchy such as New York financiers.

A Republican Senator, who preferred to remain unnamed, stated: “Congress is too much motivated by fears and anxieties concerning pressure groups and the “non election.” (Reference 1, P. 210)

By controlling Congress, the FED has been able to control the nominating conventions of both political parties. In this way, it has been able to hand-pick the presidential nominees so that no matter which party wins, their nominee for President is under definite obligations to the FED… (Reference 1, P. 210; Reference 22)

In 1975, the Rockefeller Foundation Report discussed the “Interdependence” of the countries of the world on each other. It stated we are one world and America shall become a nation-state under one government. They also say we must reach a zero state population growth. The Rockefeller Foundation stated that they have in excess of 747 million dollars to achieve this with. (Reference 3)

Congressman John R. Rarick states that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is dedicated to a one world government. The media remains conspicuously quiet. The CFR wants to convert the U.S. from a sovereign, constitutional republic into a servile member state of a one world dictatorship. On February 17, 1950, CFR member James Warburg (banker, and architect of the Federal Reserve System) stated before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “We shall have one world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.” Again, the media remained silent. In the April 1974 issue of the CFR journal, “Foreign Affairs”, page 558, Richard Gardener states that the new world order “will be built… but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.” Congressman McDonald, Heinz and Tower stated that this is a conspiracy. Again, the media remained silent. (Reference 14, P. 17, 18, 32, 33). THE CFR WANTS TO ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION. (Reference 14) WE MUST STOP THEM!!

In a letter to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams wrote: “All the perplexities, confusions, and distresses in America arise, not from defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, as much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation”. Responding, Thomas Jefferson wrote:… “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by prosperity, under the same name of funding is swindling futurity on a large scale.” (Reference 1, P. 199)

British bankers have stated “Those that create and issue money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people”. (Reference 1, P. 200-214)

Adams, Jefferson, and Lincoln believed that banker capitalism was more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. In a republic, banks would lend money but could not create or manufacture it. (Reference 1, P. 215)

Later, Jefferson used stronger language and denounced the institution as “one of the most deadly hostilities against the principles and form of our Constitution.” Some have said that Jefferson did not favor a strong central bank. What he did not favor was the delivery of our monetary system into private hands to be run for private profit. (Reference 1, P. 230)

President James A. Garfield said: “Whoever controls the money in any country is absolute master of industry [legislation] and commerce”. (Reference 1, P. 247, Reference 4)

Without the Federal Reserve System, there can be no continuing march towards socialism, and with it there can be no free economy. (Reference 1, P. 251)

By controlling our own money, Thomas Jefferson expected that the government would incur no debt, as had occurred in the European system. (Reference 1, P. 243) European banks are like the FED.

The FED system is the death of our Constitution. (Reference 1, P. 250)

THE PLAN TO REDUCE PERSONAL INCOME TAX BY 75% AND BALANCE THE BUDGET BY ABOLISHING THE FED CAN BE PROVEN BY AMERICAN HISTORY.

THE FACTS:


* England lost the Revolutionary War.
* England nearly destroyed the Colonies by creating fake Colonial money hyper-inflation.
* Rothschilds who control the Bank of England (Like our FED) said that by controlling the issue of money (printing it) you can control the government.
* The authors of the Constitution understood private banks’ control over governments. The Constitution gives only Congress the right to print money.
* From the beginning of the United States to present there have been two ways to issue new currency:

The first way is to have the government print the money, debt and interest- free, and circulate it through the economy for use as a medium of exchange. There is no tax levied to pay interest on the currency in circulation because it is debt and interest-free. This is the system Lincoln used with his “greenbacks”, a system Kennedy desired, and Jefferson demanded.

The second method is: The Citizens allow the bank to print $500 billion in currency (cash). The bank pays for printing costs, ink, and paper. The Citizens do not charge the bank any interest for use of the $500 billion in printed currency. The bank uses the $500 billion cash to buy a $500 billion government bond which pays the bankers interest. The bank keeps some of the bonds and sells, for a fee (10%), some of the bonds to the public. The bank can buy back the bonds from the public simply by printing more money. The bankers can create inflation and depressions by manipulating the amount of currency in circulation. The FED operates exactly like this today. It also prints money (through the U.S. Treasury) and uses this printed money to buy loans from other banks. This money has created our inflation. We give the bank cash interest-free, then they charge us interest on our own currency.

Take a look at our history in view of the two banking systems:
BEN FRANKLIN – THE TWO BANKING SYSTEMS

From the autobiography of Ben Franklin as reported by Gertrude Coogan in “Money Creators”:

…the inability of the colonists to get the power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War. (Reference 4).

Ben Franklin answering a question about the booming economy of the young colonies: “That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportions to the demands of trade and industry.” (Colonial Scrip had no debt or interest attached.) (Reference 4)


BANK OF AMERICA

International bankers saw that interest-free scrip would keep America free of their influence, so by 1781 banker-backed Alexander Hamilton succeeded in starting the Bank of America. After a few years of “bank money”, the prosperity of “Colonial Scrip” was gone. Benjamin Franklin said, “Conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity had ended and a depression set in to such an extent that the streets of the Colonies were filled with the unemployed!” Bank money was like our FED money. It had debt and interest attached. By 1790 Hamilton and his bankers had created a privately owned central bank and converted the public debt (interest-free) into interest bearing bonds, payable to the bankers. When Hamilton’s bank charter expired in 1811, the international bankers started the war of 1812. By 1816, another privately-owned U.S. bank was started with $35 million in assets – only $7 million of that was owned by the government. This bank lasted for 20 years. U.S. history shows that currency with debt and interest attached created a depression. (Reference 4)
ANDREW JACKSON – A GREAT PRESIDENT!

When the 1816 charter expired in 1836, Andrew Jackson vetoed its renewal. It was then that he made two famous statements: “The Bank is trying to kill me – but I will kill it!” Later he said “If the American people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system – there would be a revolution before morning…” (Reference 4)

ABRAHAM LINCOLN – ANOTHER GREAT PRESIDENT!

President Lincoln needed money to finance the Civil War, and the international bankers offered him loans at 24-36% interest. Lincoln balked at their demands because he didn’t want to plunge the nation into such a huge debt. Lincoln approached Congress about passing a law to authorize the printing of U.S. Treasury Notes. Lincoln said “We gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they ever had – their own paper money to pay their debts…” Lincoln printed over 400 million “Greenbacks” (debt and interest-free) and paid the soldiers, U.S. government employees, and bought war supplies. The international bankers didn’t like it and wanted Lincoln to borrow the money from them so that the American people would owe tremendous interest on the loan. Lincoln’s solution made this seem ridiculous. (Reference 1, P. 46, 47; Reference 4)

Shortly after Lincoln’s death, the government revoked the Greenback law which ended Lincoln’s debt-free, interest-free money. A new national banking act was enacted and all money became interest bearing again. (Reference 4)

The late Thomas A Edison explained the matter of issuing currency this way: “If our nation can issue a dollar bond (interest bearing) it can issue a dollar bill (interest-free). The element that makes the bond good makes a bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20 percent, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay: But one promise fattens the usurers (interest collectors) and the other helps the people.” (Reference 1, P. 46)

The FED is owned largely by foreign banks that control our economy and Congress through the power of money and the media which they bought with profits generated with profits generated by artificial debt.

If we can convert U.S. dollars that are debt and interest-free to interest bearing currency, we can change it back just as easily. Both the media and the banking system will probably claim that such a change will cause hyper- inflation. The answer however, can be found in history. Lincoln printed debt and interest-free Greenbacks (cash) to finance an entire war. With added production you can add currency without having hyper-inflation. Lincoln proved it. John F. Kennedy – a President with vision! On June 4, 1964, President Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110. This Executive Order called for the issuance of new currency – the United States Note. At the time, $4,292,893 of this currency was put into circulation. This new currency was to be distributed through the U.S. Treasury and not the Federal Reserve System. Furthermore, it was to be issued debt and interest-free. Upon Kennedy’s assassination, this currency was withdrawn from circulation, never to be issued again. The media remained silent on how Kennedy would have eliminated the debt and interest payments, and therefore eliminated the FED. Interest-free United States Notes do not result in hyper-inflation. By issuing United States Notes, interest-free, we have less interest expense, and less taxes. With less taxes people spend more and buy more. This result is added production, and therefore, you can add dollars without inflation. Either Rockefeller and his people will spend your tax money into the economy or you get to spend your own money by paying less taxes. The bankers want you to think you’ll have mass inflation by changing the system. This is only true if you add dollars to the economy without added production. For example, look what happened in post World War I Germany. They merely printed money without increasing production. The result was hyper-inflation. Another example: In the entire economy, if you have only 10 loaves of bread and only $10, each loaf would sell for $1. If you print an extra $10, now you have $20 and the 10 loaves which would sell for $2 each. This is only true if we don’t have added production. By cutting taxes, people will spend more and buy more bread. If we print more money and bake more bread, we have $50 and 50 loaves, so each loaf still sells for $1. As long as you monitor production with increased cash, inflation will not occur. Under the FED system, the price of bread has dramatically increased since 1913. If we cut taxes and YOU spend your money instead of the BANKERS spending it, you will have more bread, cars, and wealth than the bankers. SOMEONE will spend your money – it might as well be YOU!

A FED-like banking system has destroyed other governments. In five years the only thing taxes will pay is the interest on the debt. Clearly, the FED must be abolished before we’re demolished! Already laws are set up to have a dictatorship when we have the economic crisis (Federal Emergency Management Act, or FEMA).

Under the FED system, when a new dollar is issued, we pay taxes to pay for the dollar as the principal (debt) plus interest on the dollar. We pay for each new dollar twice, and who gets most of the money? The bankers, who control this money. Taxpayers should only pay taxes for the paper, ink, and printing costs of new money. Why should we give bankers the right to print money on a printing press, charge them no interest on this money, and then let them exchange their “free” money for a government bond that pays them interest??

England never gave up on owning the United States. They are still silently fighting the same Revolutionary War. The Bank of England, through the Rothschilds, owns and controls the FED (Reference 22).

We have been robbed of our wealth, and in five years we will be bankrupt if there is no change. The FED bankers will LEGALLY OWN OUR NATION; OUR HOUSES, OUR CARS, OUR BUSINESSES, just as Thomas Jefferson predicted.



SPECIFIC PLAN: HOW TO GET OUT OF DEBT

U.S. history proves that issuing debt and interest-free currency allows our economy to prosper, as long as Congress controls the amount of money created. You can add printed dollars into the economy as you add production, and there will be no inflation. With today’s sophisticated computers, we can easily monitor the printing of money and inflation.

Congress needs to buy back the FED and/or abolish it. Any government debt they own would be automatically eliminated. All remaining debt could be paid as needed with the same type of currency Kennedy issued (debt and interest-free United States Notes). United States Notes are backed by the full faith of the best government in the world – The United States of America. This is no different than the backing of today’s Federal Reserve Notes. U.S. citizens collect only a small fraction of the interest income on Federal Bonds and Bills. Foreigners benefit from this interest, but we pay the tax so that they collect interest on our currency. This makes sense to bankers and Congresspeople who receive money from bankers and foreign lobbyists.

As we pay less interest, government spending will decrease and so will taxes. Less taxes mean that people buy more goods and services and our economy expands. An expanded economy means more jobs and higher profits for businesses. More profit means increased state/federal business taxes. Businesses continue to pay taxes while personal taxes decrease. People will have more money to spend, will buy more, and therefore pay increased state sales tax. This allows the states to balance their budgets without raising real estate taxes. As history proves, we will prosper.

For 80 years the FED has destroyed our economy. It will take years to undo this damage. Just as Congress appoints a Postal Service, we will have Congress appoint an agency to monitor inflation as we exchange our retiring government debt for debt and interest-free United States Notes (cash). We need to break up all Central Banks created by the FED and return to the Constitution of the United States. We have to return the power of the citizens’ money back to the people.



THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMPLE WAYS TO ABOLISH THE FED:

* Inform all Americans of this report and collect signatures on the petition.
* Demand that Congress and the media support “We the People’s” rights to uphold the Constitution and abolish the illegal FED.
* Write to your local newspaper, show them this report and ask them to keep freedom of the press alive, support the Constitution and abolish the FED. Freedom of the press should not be limited to those who own it.
* Write to CNN and other media. Tell them you want to see FED-UP(tm) on their programs.
* Ask your State/County Representatives to use their Constitutional powers to enforce your rights under the Constitution to have the FED abolished. Write to Reference 5 for detailed paperwork to be given to your local government.
* Call in on TV and radio talk shows and discuss why the FED should be abolished.
* Support businesses who distribute the petition and display the sign “FED-UP”. If they don’t, please ask them to.
* Ask candidates if they plan to introduce legislation to abolish the FED and uphold the Constitution which they are obligated to defend. Make candidates take a stand! Have the politician sign a contract with “We the People” enacting legislation to abolish the FED by a certain date or the politician must resign from office. The Democratic Congress and President promised the people “no FED” before the election. Thirteen months later, they passed the FED.
* Display your bumper sticker to show support and inform people.
* If 5,000 people distribute 2-3 brochures daily, we can inform half a million Americans monthly. Roughly 10% of these half a million people will make copies and inform others. Our goal is to inform 70 million adult Americans. Public opinion will soon be on our side. Once 10% of the population know, the other 90% will follow.
* Pray and ask God to return us to “One nation under God.” The Church has been given authority to shape history. If our Nation is in an awful condition, God holds us responsible. In 2 Chronicles 7:14 He says:

If My People who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray, seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (not "maybe"...WILL!)



It is our recommendation that you research the references listed, support all organizations that are trying to stop this OUTRIGHT FRAUD and help us in our goal to get every American to sign this petition.

MEDIA BLACKS OUT THE FACTS

Here’s one terrific example. John Swinton, the former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, was one of New York’s best loved newspapermen. Called by his peers “The Dean of his Profession”, John was asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club, and in so doing, made a monumentally important and revealing statement. He is quoted as follows:

“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”

RICHARD M. COHAN, Senior Producer of CBS political news said: “We are going to impose OUR AGENDA on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that WE choose to deal with.”

RICHARD SALANT, former President of CBS News stated: “Our job is to give people not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have.”

And what is “their” agenda? What do they believe we, the American people, – THE COMMON HERD, “…ought to have?” Here is the answer:

NORMAN THOMAS – For many years the U.S. Socialist Presidential candidate proclaimed: “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing what happened.”

HERMAN DISMORE, foreign editor of the New York Times from 1950 to 1960: “The New York Times is deliberately pitched to the liberal (socialist) point of view.”

WALTER CRONKITE: “News reporters are certainly liberal (socialists) and left of center.”

BARBARA WALTERS: “The news media in general are liberals (socialists).”

Reference for everything above – Operation Vampire Killer, P.O. Box 8712, Phoenix, AZ 85066

The world, finally including even the balky American public, is “being rapidly educated into overcoming limited patriotism” and accepting “United Nations solutions to common global problems,” said Henry Kissinger.

Bilderberg participants expressed satisfaction with progress toward world government on two fronts:

* Establishing a UN tax to not only finance new global programs, but to condition “citizens of the world” to paying tribute.
* Conditioning the public — again, especially “those stubborn Americans” — to accept the idea of a UN army that could, by force, impose its will on the internal affairs of any nation.

“Today, Americans would be outraged if UN forces entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow, they will be grateful,” Kissinger said (of the 1992 Los Angeles riot).

Kissinger reported on a shocking speech made by UN Secretary General Butrous Ghali to the American Association of Newspaper Publishers at UN headquarters in New York in early May. The publishers’ newspapers covered up the story.

The UN Security Council must have a permanent force that can be deployed anywhere in the world, instantly, to “protect the peace” and “ensure human rights” the secretary-general told the newspaper publishers.

UN TO INVADE U.S.

This force must be allowed to intervene “at the local and community levels,” the UN leader told the American publishers.

What is “especially gratifying,” Kissinger said, “is that the publishers showed no reservations about the prospects of UN forces landing in the United States and imposing the UN’s will.”

QUICK FACTS FROM TOM SCHAUF:

First, we must uphold the Constitution. Please call the Hotline (217-854- 7504) weekly for new information. When a state considers a Constitutional Convention, concerned Americans call the Hotline and it gives us the names and telephone numbers of the legislators involved. It tells us exactly what to say, and to whom. The Hotline helps us to fight and win!

Secondly, we must change the opinions of the masses with information. The brochure has been a big help, and once 10% of the population agrees to abolish the FED, the rest will follow.

It is obvious the media (radio and newspapers) have lied about the FED and the efforts of FED-UP(tm) to educate people with the truth. This will not stop us – we will persist! Decide for yourself if you want to win America back. If 10,000 patriotic Americans each distribute 1,000 brochures, 10 million Americans will become informed. It would be almost impossible to stop people from talking about abolishing the FED if that many Americans were informed. Another way you can participate is to put a bumper sticker on your car. Over 1,000 people every month will see that bumper sticker about abolishing the FED.

If you think our goal is impossible, remember this; only 3% of Americans supported the Revolutionary War, and we won that war. We can win this war too, but only with your help.


IN CLOSING

For the secret owners of the FED to control the volume of money and become our absolute masters, they had to get the Gold away from our grandparents. This was accomplished in 1933 with the threats of fines and imprisonments by their President Franklin D. Roosevelt with aide Harry Hopkins, who said… “Elect, elect, elect, tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend, for the people are too damned stupid to understand”. By the way, Roosevelt was an international Banker. See “Fool’s Gold is Green” by Winston Smith.


THE FED IS SLOWLY DESTROYING AMERICA

THERE ARE MANY MORE CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONIALS

IS THERE BIAS IN THE MEDIA REGARDING THE FED?

DURING THE TV PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, CLINTON WAS ASKED SHOULD THERE BE RESTRICTIONS ON THE FED? THE NEXT DAY, MAJOR NEWSPAPERS SAID THEY COVERED THE WHOLE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TEXT, BUT MANY NEWSPAPERS ELIMINATED THIS ONE QUESTION. CHECK YOUR LIBRARY!

The Revolutionary War was fought and the Constitution was written to prevent other nations and private banks from issuing (printing) money and controlling our currency.

In 1913, members of Congress committed treason and violated their oath of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic by voting in the Federal Reserve Bank.

For the New World Order to create a one world government, they must control a central bank, eliminate the Constitution, end Christian values, disarm America, and control the media. The Council on Foreign Relations has openly said they will take us over in favor of a one world government. The American people must be warned or we may lose our freedom forever. If we do not demand our rights and uphold the Constitution, the CFR and bankers will continue their march toward socialism. If we allow them to continue, they will abolish our rights and put an end to our present government. I urge all Americans to distribute the “main” FED-UP brochure (“saving $6000 in taxes per year, per person & balancing the budget) and collect signatures on the petition (see order form in the main brochure). Then all informed Americans can take action and hold their politicians accountable. The bankers control the media, but can not stop patriotic Americans from using copy machines to distribute information and inform America. Once informed, people will demand an explanation why Congress allowed this fraud as the media appeared to be independent and investigative, but remained silent on this important issue.

The ones who scream the loudest to keep the Federal Reserve Bank probably profit the most.
