Remember the idea that our country was a shining gem in the middle of a sad history of humanity?  A country made from the backlash of colonials who wanted justice from their government?  To understand this, you only have to read the Declaration of Independence and read the word usage to get a feel for what these people were dealing with.

I recently read the Declaration.  The whole thing.  And I discovered something very interesting... I realized that as I was reading this great document that started the first country based on the preservation of rights, and the freedoms that we consider sacred, I was in agreement with the authors.... But in reference to our government today.

This document is a perfect template to hold the current governing authority of this great United States of America accountable for the obscene way they have violated the rights and liberties granted to us by God (whoever your God may be) and by the Constitution of the United States.

I wonder how many people will challenge this notion in their minds?  How many people are so deep into the brainwash cycle that they cannot see past the artificial world built for their amusement so that they do not pay attention to the systematic decay of their rights?

An interesting event happened recently before the election.  I wonder how much the media covered this event and how in depth and honestly they let the public know what happened?  On October 15th, 2008 at the Hofstra Presidential Debate in Hempstead, New York, a group of Iraq Veterans who are against the war went to protest.  The protest was video taped by participant of this event.

What you will see in shocking... but real.  The police systermatically break down the peaceful crowd, on horseback.  Despite the presence of elderly people in the crowd, the police with full riot gear crush the protest.  Click play to view the embedded video below.

This is nothing new people.  While you were asleep in the malls, your government has been taking away your rights.  While you the American public were sleeping at the wheel, the big boys stepped in an decided to take the very ideals of the Constitution and trash them.  Instead you have been handed laws like National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD 51) which give the President the power to execute procedures for continuity of the federal government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency". Such an emergency is construed as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

Now... is it just me, or were we taught that the United States government is special of the distinct balance of power built into it?  Remember the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of government? 

Videos like this should not shock you.  When you live in a world where your media source shuts off the truth, you shouldn’t be surprised.  Recently, Peter Schiff (President of Euro Pacific Capital, and advisor to Ron Paul) was being interviewed live on C.N.N.   In this interview, he really gave his opinion clearly without reservations.

He mentioned that he opposed the bailout, and would let failing corporations like AIG and CITI simply fail because "there´s a reason they failed".

"We should also not promote public spending or boost the economy, this is exactly why the U.S. economy failed in the first place. We have been spending way too much on credit and have had others pick up the bills we cannot possibly pay back".

He went on to say that Americans should create and save instead of spend.

On and on, hard truth after hard truth. The moment he started to make comments about the Federal Reserve system and why their policies have brought the U.S. where it is today, he was cutoff in mid-sentence (the screen went to colored bars) leaving the interviewer baffled for about five seconds after which she went on to mumble "Technical difficulties" and jumping right on the good news of todays market recovery.

So you can’t speak out against a war, and you can’t speak out against the bailout.  Ironic how this all works.  You work and pay taxes, that employ people who are in place to defend and stand up for your rights.  These people in turn legislate to give your hard earned money, to big banks that made bad business decisions based on a fictitious economic bubble created by a grumpy old bald man named Alan Greenspan.  These banks however, are getting this bailout on the backs of the American public, because the most interesting part of this story its this: the Federal Reserve is a privately held central bank that loans the money to the government, to give to the big banks.  Why? Because in 1913 the Federal Reserve Act gave power over the value of the US Dollar to the ancient money changers.

So not only has the Federal Reserve created the economic crisis you are suffering from right now, you paid them to do it. 

There is one more point that is so important, and then I can shut up... not only are you paying for these people to legislate this crap, but you are feeding on their system.  The idea of consumer confidence and credit is one of the greatest debaucheries of all time. 

If you analyze humanity and it’s history, you will see that every great empire was built on the backs of slaves.  From the Egyptians, to the Persians, to the Romans, to the Mayans.  Slavery has been part of the humanities disgusting past since the beginning.  Today is no different.  Except there is new way to keep slaves.  By their own will.  Their own inability to see what is real, and desire what is false, i.e. Consumerism.  The new kind of slavery.  Give them credit, and they will work willingly, forever. 

Please tell me that you listen to what they are actually saying to you when they tell you that the bailouts are necessary to stimulate the economy and get credit flowing again?

It all reminds me of a recent trailer I saw for an animated movie coming soon called Coraline.  The premise of this story is about a little girl who lives an unhappy life with boring parents, but finds a portal to a perfect world where anything she wants, she gets, with perfects parents and perfect everything.  With one minor detail... to stay she has to sew buttons over her eyes like everyone else in this imaginary perfect world.  The metaphor is beautiful. 

Click here for the trailer.

Sew the buttons over your eyes, don’t see or question whether this is okay, and you can have everything at your disposal.  Look with open eyes, and you will see the facade.

Loss of Rights.  8.4 Trillion Dollars in bailouts to banks.  Budget cuts in education.  Detroit Car Company Executives flying 20 million dollar jets to ask Congress for aid.  Am I missing something or this all just mad?

My only question is what do plan on doing about it?
