The State of Affairs:

While watching Schindler's List for the first time, a movie that I have wanted to see for quite a while, I am finding it difficult to stay positive as so many men, women, and children are executed by the SS. It makes me ponder the human condition; it appears the fact that approximately 262 million people were murdered by totalitarian governments in the 20th century has absolutely no place in mainstream American consciousness, or the world at large. How many lives will have to be taken away before the people of the world awaken to the fact that absolute power in the hands of a few individuals has, time after time, proven to be absolutely murderous to those not in power.

The terrible crimes of the regimes of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Tito, Hitler, etc., seem to have left few impressions in the minds of citizens worldwide. Granted, there are certainly many people aware of the horrors that have been perpetrated, and more and more are enlightened every day. But the vast majority of the people of the world are still slumbering, able to be manipulated by propaganda (mostly purely statist propaganda) at every turn. Even the majority of Americans, who are still able to experience more liberty than any other people in the world, have allowed themselves to be socially engineered into the confines of the "left-right paradigm," and elected yet another fascist/socialist to the presidency in 2008.



However, it is very important to understand that this decent into collectivism, and with it, totalitarianism, did not begin spontaneously with the election of Barack Obama to the White House. America began its spiral into collectivism many decades ago, and at the same time America has been centralizing power within the federal government on a scale the founders of our country would find inconceivable (even Alexander Hamilton). Jefferson and Madison's dream of a central government that had powers few and far between with a certain set of inalienable rights (the Bill of Rights, as it came to be) has been completely nullified over the past century, as America has endured war after war and recession after recession after depression. Congress has given up it's constitutional right to "coin money" and "regulate the value thereof" and given it to an all powerful, privately owned, central bank, which has the power to create money and credit out of thin air, as Marx called for in the 5th plank of his manifesto.


Congress has also ceded its authority to declare war, as it stipulates in the Constitution, to a unitary executive, the "decider" as George W. Bush dubbed it, who has the ability to send America's brave men to kill and be killed on behalf of the American empire and the United Nations, which was called "the last, best hope for peace," by its creators. But the United Nations is simply a system for international control, a global government. Granted, it only has power as long as the United States recognizes it and the American tax payer continues to subsidize it, but as long as this continues its power and influence will grow. Power, once gained, is rarely, if ever, relinquished.



This space will be dedicated to education. People must first be educated before they can fight; they must learn before they can begin to educate more people to oppose the power elite and their aspirations for control over the globe. They must have the wherewithal to question intently what they read in the newspaper, and what they hear the mainstream media recite on television. They must learn and understand the principles of limited government and personal liberty; that economic markets must be allowed to work and not be hindered by government controls, regulations, and taxes. Not to mention the deficit spending that crowds out private investment - and the Federal Reserves' vast increases in the money supply, which causes inflation, the hidden tax.


We must take the lessons that history has taught us and apply them to our times, for the record clearly shows that central planning and collectivism will not work, and people will only be able to prosper and thrive when they demand liberty and justice for all.
