Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement: Trade agreements are NOT constitutional treaty’s

3 Comments

______________________________________________________

The question continually asked is: Under what constitutional authority are the provisions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership being kept secret?

The answer: The TPP is NOT a constitutional treaty, but is instead a corporate government-to-government contractual agreement, and is being intentionally confused and mis-represented as a constitutional treaty. Its status as “secret” can only be defined as corporate contractual proprietary rights protection. 1

_________________________________________________________

1800193_730804716942054_2388486452391946819_nObama has asked congress for Fast Track approval for this corporate trade agreement. This is another tip-off that what is about to transpire has nothing to do with sovereignty, the constitution or the office of the president. Fast Track allows the president to step out of his position as “president of the Republic”, and assume his position as “chief executive” of the corporation and assorted corporate names constructed to facilitate the contracting for this trade agreement.

The TPP needs no ratification by the states as it has nothing to do with them. They are not privy to the contents, provisions, mandates or other instruments as the states are not party to the contract. The vote that will take place in congress will be an intentionally staged event. Every congress person out there knows that any vote they take regarding this trade agreement, violates the offices they were elected to hold.

With the public seemingly unaware that they are being duped, yet again, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will devastate the states. The recent efforts by several federal agencies to seize land, control food production, close public access roads to forests and national parks, along with the ongoing efforts to seize water from all sources whatsoever as owned and controlled by government, along with all other valued resources is most likely the composition of much of the content of the TPP.

The (TTP) is actually an international corporate agreement which voids sovereign jurisdiction in environmental protections, health, food, pharmaceuticals and virtually any other thing you can think of.
This agreement also allows for the sale of public lands here in the US so that foreign investors can access and profit from the resources. The coming all out sale of public lands to foreign investors will in effect, see major areas of the US, now held as scenic waterways, national forests and other high resource areas as owned and controlled by non-American corporations and possibly even governments. This agreement exposes the reasons for the federal government’s ongoing taking of lands from the states and claiming it as owned and controlled by them while also claiming they are taking the land to “protect” it……from us.

Trade agreements are constructed under international contract law and have no constitutional authority. In fact, these trade agreements generally tend to violate and void any constitutional protections, requirements or prohibitions. Even so, congress will continue to misrepresent this corporate agreement as a legally binding constitutional treaty, knowing full well that this is merely a ruse they participate in to cement in the public mind that they must adhere to this corporate contract.

Although you and I are not party to the contractual agreement, do not and are not allowed to know any of the provisions, much less all of the provisions, the federal corporation will contract with our state government corporations to put the provisions into force in our states. And every governor in every state will willingly throw the doors open to the in-state contracting that will facilitate the business plans of the trade agreement.

So I ask again…..How’s that global economy working for ya? Still think this is about free trade and capitalism? Your land is being stolen by the federal government, sold to foreign investors and other governments for exploitation as they pay for government protection and privilege. Do you still think that if corporations are regulated and limited it will somehow prevent you from getting rich?

These agreements are a constructed effort to put the rights of corporations above those of the individual and of any country included in the agreements. The group, Public Citizen, exposed and reported on the deleterious effects of what will become the investor-state and the accompanying enforcement system already at work under CAFTA, and other trade agreements, which will most likely be expanded and far more injurious under TPP.

From Public Citizen:

These firms have access under the deals to an “investor-state” enforcement system, which allows them to skirt national court systems and privately enforce their extraordinary new investor privileges by directly challenging national governments before extrajudicial tribunals.
These investor-state cases are litigated outside any domestic legal system in special international arbitration bodies of the World Bank and the United Nations. A panel composed of three private attorneys listens to arguments in the case, with the power to award an unlimited amount of taxpayer dollars to corporations for the “expected future profits” that the attorneys surmise the firms would have earned if not for the challenged measures. Because the mechanism elevates private firms to the same status as sovereign governments, it amounts to a privatization of the justice system. (emphasis, mine)

The TPP is nothing less than a corporate assault on national sovereignty and the rights of the people. Those courts will most likely be comprised of another group of private attorney’s who will decide how much of your money will be handed over to global corporations. Any rights you thought you might still have will be set aside in favor of global corporate privilege.

Our Constitution is being steadily eroded with the passing of each of these trade agreements. Agreements that exist for no other reason than to exploit and plunder nation after nation under the dubious banner of “free trade capitalism” and which will reduce every nation to third world status. There never has been free trade; only pay to play trade privatization for the few.

The Trans Pacific Partnership is just another brick in the New World Order wall.

We become silent: A 2005 documentary detailing the coming take over of food and Implementation of CODEX Alimentarius

Leave a comment

We Become SilentIf you thought it was because government is concerned about your health; if you thought it was anything other than a corporate take over of food and dietary supplements…you need to watch this documentary from 2005.  Michael Taylor, the new food Czar from Monsanto, and former FDA higher up….laying the groundwork for what was to come.  The threat of the World Trade Organization as well as the real reasons for NAFTA/CAFTA…….it has nothing to do with trade, only corporate business; a business which targets you.

International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller of Well TV announced the release of a new documentary about the threat to medical freedom of choice. We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies — in concert with the WTO, the WHO and others — to limit the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.

We Become Silent is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, the noted UK actress who has won multiple Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work, in addition to dozens of other honors throughout her prestigious career.

Equity of Trade Versus Free Trade

Live Link:  National Organization for Raw Materials

by Thayne Cozart
Director of Communications, National Organization for Raw Materials

The U.S. has a huge trade imbalance with most trading nations. The imbalance is not in agriculture, although many food products — both raw and processed — enter the U.S. at prices below those for comparable U.S.-grown foodstuffs.

To a large degree the imbalance is in manufactured goods. One reason is that many nations have lower costs of production — based upon a lower standard of living, cheap labor, inexpensive raw materials, protective government policy, etc. Multinationals who have moved their plants to foreign locations enjoy the best of both worlds — inexpensive manufacturing costs and unlimited access to the world’s biggest consumer market, the USA.

Our laissez-faire trade stance, when coupled with many nations’ protective trade stances and the inherent disparity of living standards around the world, is proving to be a recipe for ever-increasing trade deficits. Exacerbating the situation, GATT and NAFTA are proving difficult to implement when other nations improvise phony trade issues and drag their feet at every opportunity. Bottomline, the U.S. is having problems with free trade. More

CAFTA’s extreme guarantees on foreign investor rights

Leave a comment

 

This week in Washington, D.C., in a closed World Bank hearing, a multinational mining corporation is arguing the first CAFTA environmental attack case. Using the controversial CAFTA investor rights rules that allow private firms to directly sue governments for policies they claim undermine their expected future profit, Pacific Rim Mining Corp is demanding hundreds of millions of dollars from El Salvador.

That’s right. Because of CAFTA’s extreme guarantees on foreign investor rights, this Canadian mining multinational can demand massive compensation from this small impoverished country. President Obama can help end this nightmare by fulfilling his pledge to purge extreme investor rights from U.S. trade policy and future trade pacts like the Transpacific Partnership (TPP), Obama’s first prospective trade deal, which will be negotiated in San Francisco later this month.

Trans-Pacific Partnership: Another NAFTA or Obama’s New Trade Model?

Action Alert – Will the TPP be more of the same?
Trans-Pacific Partnership: Another NAFTA or Obama’s New Trade Model?

The TPP will be Obama's first trade agreement. Will he choose the disastrous NAFTA model or enact a new American Fair Tradel agenda?
Urge Congress to ensure any Obama trade deal moves away from the disastrous NAFTA model and toward a new American fair trade agenda


Candidate Obama promised to fix NAFTA and craft a new job-creating trade strategy going forward. He promised his trade agreements would put working people, the environment, family farms and consumers first. Now the moment of truth is upon us: the Obama administration has begun negotiations with seven Asian/Pacific countries on what could be its first trade agreement – known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

The usual suspects – Big Pharma, agribusiness giants and chronic offshoring multinationals – are hell-bent on more NAFTAs. And unfortunately, there are some in the administration happy to forget President Obama’s fair trade commitments.

Urge Congress to ensure that any Obama trade deal reflects his promises to ditch the NAFTA model and craft a new American trade agenda that works for us. More

From Campaign for Liberty/Liberty news online

Speech: A Gathering for Freedom and Liberty
06-17-2009 7:31 pm – Wallace
Text of Speech by John Wallace – delivered at the Albany Tea Party’s “March on Albany” Rally, at the State Capitol in Albany, New York on June 16, 2009

I want to thank the members of the Albany Tea Party for giving me the opportunity to say a few words at this great gathering for Freedom and Liberty. Our country’s Founders told us that Governments get their just powers from the consent of the governed and whenever the government becomes destructive of these ends, it is not only the people’s Right, but it is their Sacred Duty to change the government, and that includes the dysfunctional New York State Government.

My fellow citizens, although some foreign countries and terrorists groups do indeed pose serious threats to our country and our state, in 2009 the greatest threats to our freedoms and liberties are not coming from them, but rather, they are coming from within our own country; from our federal government and from our New York State government, because they no longer represent us. That is why we have come here today from all parts of the state, from all walks of life and from all political parties and views: TO RECLAIM OUR FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES.

The America people, including those of us who live here in New York State, are losing our freedoms and liberties because of corrupt politicians, political correctness, a lack of basic common sense by our leaders, as well as the negative influence of special interest groups who are pushing their questionable agendas upon New Yorkers and the rest of the American people from a hundred different directions at once.

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln, described our nation as “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I’m afraid that is no longer true. In 2009, we now have federal government and a New York State government of the special interest groups, by the special interests groups, and for the special interest groups.

To those New York State and federal elected officials who may be listening out there today, “We The People” have some demands to present to you today:

We demand FREEDOM FROM CORRUPT ELECTED OFFICIALS who accept millions of dollars in bribes from Special Interest groups every year. More

Vilsack will continue the assalt on independent farms and ranches

Leave a comment

The high standards of food production and quality are coming to end in the U.S..  The last eight years have seen the multi-national corporations overtaking small and independent producers, eradicating small farms and ranches.  The USDA and FDA have been willing accomplices in this contamination of our food production and supply and both now routinely forcibly break onto privately owned properties and seize personal possession without warrant or authority in an effort to frighten small producers out of business.    

Congress turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to the plight of small producers who cannot donate millions of dollars in campaign funds and panders to the corrupt corporations whose goals include the complete overrun of food production and processing.

“Any hopes I may have had for Obama saving the day began to fade when Tom   Vilsak, the former governor of Iowa and known Monsanto yes-man and promoter was named to the position of Secretary of Agriculture.  Any hope farmers and ranchers may have had that the new administration would end the nightmare of Frankenfood corporations contaminating the food supply with their toxic creations ended there.  Vilsak will at no time work to protect independent producers.  His record on this is clear.

Iowans also remember the rides on Monsanto’s corporate jet that Vilsack – the Biotech “Governor of the Year” – enjoyed during his time in office. He repayed Monsanto by working with the Republican floor manager in the House, promising to do everything he could to get a seed bill to pass. This bill took away county power to regulate GMOs within county borders.” http://www.opednews.com/articles/Ag-Secretary-Announced-To-by-Jill-Hamilton-and-081216-596.html

73% of all grains now grown in the U.S. are genetically modified and not fit for human consumption.  Although massive efforts have been expended to squelch any scientific reports linking gmo to organ damage or diseases such as Morgellen’s, word is getting out.  The effects of transgenic organisms, genetically altered seeds which require chemical applications to grow, the contaminating of ground water and lands from pesticides, herbicides and unnatural crops will become more apparent as time goes on.

Many of us are concerned about what we are eating and what’s in it.  Is it natural; where did it come from? 

With the reduction in food processing and production standards located in CAFTA and NAFTA agreements, food products are entering our food supply from countries who maintain only minimal standards as laid out in these agreements.  Rather than establishing high standards for food safety, NAFTA/CAFTA reduced the standards to more easily accommodate multi-national corporations and to remove any legal obstacles such as state, local and federal laws.

In self defense we must return to growing our own produce, free from chemicals and pesticides and other deadly poisons used to grow commercial crops which are so detrimental to our health.  We need to act quickly, as Monsanto is already mounting attacks on seed cleaners or those who save seeds from one year’s crop to use for the next.  Heirloom and heritage seeds will soon become outlawed as Monsanto and others attempt to totally control our access to food. 

Of course the Artic Seed Vault….containing only organic and natural seeds from hundreds of thousands of varieties of plants will be maintained at all costs.  This just begs the questions that if gmo is substantially no different than natural seed, and if it is in fact far better…..why would the Bill Gates of the world be maintaining the seed vault with nothing but natural seed in it?

I am beginning to compile a list of seed exchanges and savers.  Below are just a few of the services offered across the country.  I would advise getting your seeds now before they are outlawed.  These sights many times offer advice on how to clean and store your own seeds for future crops, how to grow without chemicals and pesticides and how to harvest and store your produce. 

Gardening is not only enjoyable and satisfying, it may also be the thing that saves your life.

The Curse of Capitalism

Leave a comment

 

by Alan Adaschik

 

Government is government and business is business and the two are very different from each other.  A business exists solely to earn profits for its owners.  On the other hand, a prime function of government is to keep the playing field level between citizens so that no one person or groups of people can take unfair advantage of others.  This being the case, it should be clear that the goals of government and corporations are at cross purposes with each other.  A business earns profits by exploiting its environment and seeking advantage in the market place.  In contrast, governments exist to ensure that a business does not wrongfully exploit the environment, take unfair advantage of their competitors or customers, and operates in a manner that is beneficial and positive for all concerned.

 

It should be obvious that a business will maximize profits if it is able to control the environment within which it operates.  Unfortunately, it is also obvious that the best ways of doing this is to influence and control the government which is supposed to be controlling it.  And there’s the rub.  When a corporation is able to control its government, corruption is the order of the day and instead of properly performing one of its prime functions, the government in question, instead, aids and abets the corporation so it can wrongfully have its way with us.  So it is in the United States today.  Corporations have such a lock upon our government and the other institutions of our society that they are free to plunder us and our national resources at will.  The situation has progressed to the point where capitalism, the goose that laid the golden egg for the people of this nation, has now become a curse upon us.  Capitalists are now our masters instead of being our servants and without any controls upon them they are self-serving masters at best.

 

Validation of the foregoing is clearly evident all around us.  These include a revolving door between corporations and their controlling governmental agencies, a Medicare Prescription Drug Program that benefits drug companies more that it does program participants, a government which is hostile to environmental concerns and global warming issues, multi-billion dollar corporate contracts awarded on a no bid basis without any semblance of control or accountability, a government which totally ignores over-population issues, a monetary system primarily beneficial to its owners that is bankrupting our Nation, a government that is flooding the nation with immigrants and only pays lip service to the issue of illegal immigration, a government that is dissolving our borders and which places trade issues before and above our sovereignty, energy policies that favor and enrich energy companies, a flagrant de-regulation of corporations in all sectors of our economy, the wonton and unbridled privitation of traditional governmental functions including those of our armed forces, and the creation of a New World Order where corporations rule and hold ultimate authority over our government and economic well being.

 

As a people, this is where we are today and this did not happen to us by accident.  We lost control of our lives and government in 1913 with passage of the Federal Reserve Act which created the Federal Reserve Bank, a privately owned corporation which was wrongfully given the power to earn profits by loaning us our own money at interest.  Because of this, Americans were forced to pay an income tax on the fruits of their labor which helped make the robber baron bankers rich beyond their wildest dreams.  This wrongfully acquired wealth gave rise to the New World Order and its stepchild, the World Trade Organization (WTO).  Incredibly, this criminal organization, by way of a simple unconstitutional legislative act, was given authority over and the power to overrule, our Congress, President, and our Supreme Court.

 

This last statement is not speculation or fantasy but, instead, a cold hard fact substantiated by the GATT accord which states that, “Each member (of the WTO) shall ensure the conformity of its laws, regulations, and administrative procedures with its obligations as provided (for) in the annexed Agreements”.  The annexed Agreements establish a procedure whereby the Ruling Panels of the WTO will be the final authority over all disputes between members.  At first glance, this seems innocent enough but the true power and reach of the WTO becomes evident when one realizes that almost everything that happens within the borders of a nation affects the costs of goods sold and traded in world markets.  And this includes environmental laws, laws concerning workers and their well being, laws affecting interstate commerce, etc, etc.  In short, the WTO is not just a world trade organization but instead, a World Government which over time, will grow in power and control such that national origin will have little meaning other than to describe the area of the world within which a person is born.  National differences and identity will become non-existent and meaningless.

 

The establishment of the WTO and other sovereignty busting treaties such as NAFTA and CAFTA opened up the world for American corporations and predictable, they moved their operations overseas in droves where they could take advantage of lax environmental laws and the cheap labor of third world countries.  Corporate flight progressed to such a degree that the United States is no longer an industrial nation and has now what is euphemistically called a consumer economy.  This is bad enough, but concurrent with the plunder of the industrial base of this nation, corporate influence brought on a wave deregulation which, unfortunately, included our financial and banking institutions.  Predictably, the loosening of financial controls brought on a housing boom as speculators kited the value of property and homes throughout the nation.  This largess eventually resulted in the mortgage meltdown and market crash we presently are in.  This is where America finds itself today; woefully in debt and going deeper in dept with each passing day, in a recession with no end or bottom in sight, fighting a debilitating two front war of imperialism to no ones benefit but the terrorists, and dragging the rest of the world down into the cesspool we created or more correctly, the cesspool created by the New World Order and the corporate moguls who foolishly and self-servingly thought that a return to the wild west days of the early industrial revolution was the best way to bring freedom and prosperity to the world.

 

Many years ago, we used to subscribe to the notion of enlightened self-interest as being the fundamental driving force behind our capitalist economic system.  However, of late we have forgotten the adage that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  We also forgot that man is essentially a greed driven animal and if given the power to control his own economic environment, greed will become dominant at the expense of what is right, moral, reasonable, correct, proper, and/or enlightened.  With the demise of unions, Government was the only remaining entity that could possibly moderate and control the excesses of corporations and the unfortunate truth of the matter is that corporations, through greed, petty self-interest, and the power of the almighty dollar have rendered our government useless and ineffectual for this purpose.  The situation has progressed to the point where our government is no longer our government.  Instead, it is a tool used by corporations and the New World Order to keep us docile and compliant while they have their way with us.

 

Now that the inevitable collapse has come, everyone, including the corporations who engineered this mess, is calling upon government to step in and save us.  How wonderful!  Our industrial base is gone, inflation and war has sapped our savings, retirement funds, and purchasing power and our government in a final act of stupidity and senselessness, elects to bail out our failed banking industry by buying up its bad debt.  Doesn’t anyone in government realize that it is using fiat money to buy up debt that was created by the banks with the stroke of a pen?  Unconscionable, borrowing and debt brought on this crisis and to address it, our government decides to borrow more and put us further into debt so financial institutions will once again begin to loan people money they do not have in the first place.  And then on top of all this, we are expected to spend more money we do not have to stimulate the economy when everything spent eventually ends up in the hands of foreign corporations.  Truly, confidence in our government and our financial institutions is what is needed to get us out of this mess, but under our present circumstances, any citizen who has confidence in our government and the financial institutions which rule us is so out of touch with reality that they are certifiably insane.

 

In 1913, our government, in violation of our Constitution, created the Federal Reserve Bank and gave corporations control of our government.  We are now experiencing the inevitable fruits of this New World Order; ineffectual and dysfunctional government, gross and flagrant corruption of all the institutions of our society, dissolution of our borders, collapse of our monetary system, the plundering of our wealth and resources, and the robbing of our rights, heritage, and freedom.  And now to save us, our government has been blackmailed into rewarding those who did this to us by using our money to buy up their mistakes.

 

We, as a people, must do everything possible to restore our Republic and once again become a free and independent nation.  To accomplish this, the first step we should take is to repeal the Federal Reserve Act and take back control of our money supply and economy.  In conjunction with this, GATT, NAFTA, and CAFTA should be repealed and all banks associated with the Federal Reserves System nationalized.  Our dept to the Federal Reserve Bank and foreign interests should be declared null and void and all foreign aid should immediately cease.  We should then close all our overseas military bases and bring our troops to help protect and rebuild this Nation.  Finally, criminal proceeding should be brought against those who engineered our financial collapse and turned our government into a criminal enterprise.

 

A new beginning as described above is the only thing that will restore confidence in our government and save us and the rest of the world from the horrible fate which a fractional reserve banking system has imposed upon us.  To those who decry this as being Socialism, I say that ridding the world of Fascism is not Socialism.  Furthermore, there is nothing Socialistic about our government running and controlling our banking and financial institutions in keeping with the Constitution as the Founding Fathers intended.

 

America, wake up!  It is already too late for an easy solution.  Soon, it will be too late for any solution.

The Law of Contracts: Government Agencies Existing as Corporations

The Law of Contracts: Government Agencies Existing as Corporations

 

While researching the incorporation of the federal government in 1871 I discovered that not only had the government been made over into a ruling corporation, but through extension so had multiple government agencies.  This came about over the years since the original coup of 1871 and has been incrementally extended to almost all government agencies and departments.

 

What does this mean to you?

 

It means that agencies such as, the Department of Agriculture for example, is a fully accredited corporation operating independent of the federal government with few exceptions.  Although the creation of this corporation came with certain caveats that allowed the fed to minimally instruct or legislate its activity, the DoA is no different than any other privately held corporation and subject to nothing except the law of contracts, administered by administrative “judges” who pin their decisions not on the common law of the United States, but rather, on the system of codes and statutes known as the Uniform Commercial Code.  The UCC is simply the US version of British Maritime Law.

 

This means that when dealing with this corporation (or any of the other hundreds of sub-corporations owned by THE UNITED STATES), especially in litigation, any correspondence from them will have your name fully capitalized as notice to you that you are a corporate trust with no human implication, and therefore not subject to common law.  Your interaction with this agency will be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code, and you have no right to use the constitution to defend yourself. 

 

So who owns the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies/corporations?

 

The DoA like many other corporately held agencies is owned by the parent corporation:

THE UNITED STATES (a corporation) a.k.a. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Because it is incorporated, THE UNITED STATES is governed by the law of contracts and not the constitution of the United States (the common law applied to citizens of the collective and formerly sovereign states before 1871)

 

This simple piece of knowledge explains why “agreements” (not treaties) are entered into which put the rights of the corporation above those of human beings. CAFTA is an ideal example here.  CAFTA explicitly puts the rights of the corporate interests above those of humanity, and profits, above any human right.  Any law currently on the books or under consideration for passage can be struck down immediately using the “trade illegal” provisions of CAFTA.  Any law which in the eyes of the corporate interest precludes them from making all the profits they believe they are entitled to, is deemed “trade illegal” and can be legally challenged, again using the UCC.

 

As a corporation, THE UNITED STATES has no obligation to abide by the constitutional provisions and requirements necessary to pass a treaty under the constitution or subject to common laws provided in it.  These provisions, if adhered to, make treaties the supreme law of the land.  This means that each and every state, after having thoroughly vetted and voted on the passage of the treaty is required to abide by its requirements.  No exceptions.  A corporate agreement is not subject to any of these provisions as it is ruled by administrative code and statute and not by common law. 

 

Because the trade agreements are not legal treaties, compliance cannot be forced upon the states….but none of your representatives or senators will tell you that.

 

“Agreements” are simply corporate agreements between the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES, and other corporate entities from other nations, all of them operating as governmental authorities.  

 

In the last few years, court decisions rendered in courtrooms in which administrative law is being administered, (meaning statutes and codes, and not the common law) decisions such as the one by “Judge” Barbadoro in New Hampshire.  In April of 2007 he handed down a decision that said,  “corporations, as legal persons, have “free speech rights” that would be infringed”. 

 

From http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org   ……..

 

 “But corporate lawyers (acting as both attorneys and judges) subverted our Bill of Rights in the late 1800’s by establishing the doctrine of “corporate personhood” — the claim that corporations were intended to fully enjoy the legal status and protections created for human beings.” (1) (end excerpt)

 

In the case of Guantanamo detainees, one judge declared that while some corporations have human rights, some humans do not. 

 

It is important to understand the creation of corporate personhood in the context of our government and its corporate agencies.  The judge in the above case referring to detainee’s was obviously referring to the corporate personhood of THE UNITED STATES as superior to the human rights of the detainee.  This kind of judicial and preferential treatment with regards to the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES is helping to establish the precedence which will be used in subsequent legal battles where the rights of the individual are cast aside in favor of the corporation.

 

These are some of the government agencies which have been recreated as corporations:

·   Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation                     Reconstruction Finance Corp.     

Add to this list the FDA, USDA, HHS, HSD, DoA, DoD, and every other government agency. Each and every one of them including the corporate federal government (THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) is listed on Dunn & Bradstreet and is issued a DUNS credit report.  Each and every one is a for-profit corporation.                     

 

Also included in the corporate recreation of our government is the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage.(2)

Before we can ever hope to clean up the corruption of our government, we first have to eliminate the incorporation of the government that took place in 1871.  Everything that has transpired since that year is a direct result of the corporate coup that overthrew the legitimate legal government of the United States. 

Once you understand that what you are fighting is not the government, but rather a, corporation acting as government, things begin to fall into place.   Understanding  that what you are dealing with is a collection of governmental corporations, the aberrations in our legal system, the trashing of our constitution and the loss of our civil rights all begins to make sense.

Government Independent and Detached from the Governed

1 Comment

Absent from any past debates by the presidential wannabe’s, and what will most likely never be mentioned by either McCain or Obama, is any reference to the illegal and unconstitutional laws that have been passed in the last seven years.  As long as these issues are never allowed to be brought up it prevents either of them from having to acknowledge that they voted for them or that they even know about them. 

 

What has passed for “debates” over the last months should have outraged even the most apathetic among us.  Tell-all MSM tabloid reporting should have had us all cutting off our dish and cable services.  Instead millions of us tuned in so we could see “democracy in action!”  And what a democracy it is!

 

Rather than allowing free and open questions, the debate sponsors…that would be huge corporations…..screened all the questions to determine which would be most important or appropriate.  Apparently, important and appropriate did not include questions about illegal trade agreements, unconstitutional laws, loss of civil liberties and rights or the gross expansion of power Bush has granted the office of the presidency.  Instead we were treated to carefully selected “questions” about national healthcare….the new divisive issue (we couldn’t really beat those anti-gay marriage and abortion horses again) and other soft issues that had no real relevance.

 

If we are to continue to allow the federal government to act as an agency that is independent of the American people (a dictatorship at the very least) we may as well skip all the phony debates and get right down to the issue of dispensing with elections altogether.  I suggest we just let one corrupt regime after another decide who or if there will be a successor and leave the rest of us out of it.  Oh…wait minute…..they’re already doing that.

 

We already know that whether Democrat or Republican it’s all the same.  We have no representation in the White House and we have none in congress.  Vice president Cheney has declared himself not to be part of the executive branch which makes me wonder “then what exactly is he vice president of ?” and if he in fact is not part of that branch “how can he claim executive privilege in any situation or when any demands are made for his cooperation?”  Now you’d have thought someone in congress might have asked those questions.

 

We have a House that passed (with only six “nays”) the HR 1955 legislation that makes domestic terrorists out of all of us for expressing our displeasure over the corruption of government and its agencies.  The Anti-Terrorism and Homegrown Radicalization Act” or whatever that piece of unconstitutional garbage is, will effectively silence every dissenter in this country and, it will also prevent you from using your email, fax or phone to call your senator or representative to express your thoughts!  Apparently to do so would mean that you are “terrorizing” that elected official.  Of course the vote in the House was not a roll call recorded vote, so we have no record of who voted and how which makes absolutely no difference because it passed overwhelmingly.  S 1595 is now in the Senate and Bush already has his handy-dandy pen ready to sign this legislation into public law.

Aside from these few things are the chronic attempts to pass or to attach amnesty legislation when the American public has expressed its disgust and opposition to this in monumental numbers. (This could be effectively ended with passage of S1959 and the Senate could then say they had no idea the public opposed it). 

 

There is no real interest in controlling oil cartel profits while Americans struggle with artificially high gas prices, or, any attempt to regain control of our markets and economy by ending CAFTA and NAFTA and implementing a free market based on fair trade and what are economically sound trade policies.  Nope!  Too much money to be made there and too many lobbyists with bags of it to spread around.

 

Just as an aside:  I wonder just how much money and what kind of perks it takes to get a senator or representative to betray the people who put them in office? 

 

Other than Rep. Ron Paul, I know of no senator or representative, much less any presidential candidate, who has expressed any knowledge of the Security & Prosperity Partnership or the intent to create a North American Union.  None but Rep. Paul that I know of, expressed any opposition to either of these and there sure hasn’t been any discussion of either issue in the House or Senate.  Nor has there been any admission of knowledge about the Public/Private Partnerships (PPP’s) that form the working groups that are facilitating this forfeiture of our sovereignty or who is getting paid and how that payment is made.  Of course we do know who is making the payments….we are.

 

As for the voting system, it is now so corrupt and controlled by global corporations that even paper ballots have become suspect.  I am still amazed by people who know that our computers are hacked into daily by various government agencies and all of our interaction while online is dutifully recorded and examined, but who also believe that somehow voting machines can’t be tampered with.  Or that they aren’t.  Maybe they weren’t around for the last two presidential elections. 

 

In the end, we are left with what has become an irrelevant and oppositional House and Senate, and a presidency that is well on its way to becoming a dictatorship if it is not in fact, already there.  Our right to vote is overshadowed by being presented with candidates who only promise to continue the dismantling of our Republic and who also have no intentions of reversing any presidential directives, executive orders or legislation that have diminished the premise of a free nation with limited government.

 

As we come to this end, we still insist on separating our selves from each other over this false idea that we are either, left or right, conservative or liberal.  This wedge that is so effectively driven into the public mindset is the most effective tool ever devised to keep the public from working together to control the government.  As long as it remains a weapon of mass division, we will never have a government of the people, by the people or for the people.  We will have only what we have now but more of it. More corruption, more malfeasance, more fascism and ultimately more betrayal.  My question to all of you is this:  Is it worth your life and liberty to let this continue?

How To Create a Fictional Threat And Lead the People to a Pre-Determined Solution

Leave a comment

I have found it is quite easy to predict what will be coming in the form intrusive and invasive legislation; laws that will rob us of more of our freedom, that will allow more government intrusion into our lives and our privacy.  I just make it a point to watch any of the MSM news shows (except anything on FOX) to hear what the latest “concerns” are by intelligence agencies or other people in the know.

For weeks now, newscasters have told of the serious threat of cybercrimes, and we all need to be shaking in our shoes over the threat of propaganda from “extremists” operating in cyberspace that are going to invade our home computers, take over our minds with clever brainwashing techniques and lead us all into the realm of terrorists.  Of course if you do watch FAUX news, this could be a distinct possibility!

Congress is now considering the Anti-Homegrown, Anti Radical, Anti-Dissident, Anti-Whatever you can come up with bill that has as its centerpiece the intent to control web access and content.  Unknown to the millions of us who are on the net daily, sometimes for hours at a time, there are radical extremists just lying in wait for the chance to expose us to their verison of propaganda.  Like we couldn’t spot that after being inundated by the junk dumped onto the net by our own government.  But I personally have never seen or been approached by any of these cyber radicals and I spend hours each and every day working online.  In fact, I can’t find even one person who has ever seen any of these radicals pop into their system.

So fearful is our congress that we will not only be exposed to radical propaganda (other than theirs) but, we are so stupid and so gullible that we will be immediately sucked into the world of radical extremism.  So, we need a new law!  One that will close off entire sections of the net, that will stifle any politcal, religious, or social efforts for change.  The truth is,  they need this law primarily to stop the activism, the flow of real information and to stop the growing movement in America to take back our country from a fatally corrupted government that is now controlled totally by multinational corporations, the global elite and those who are working towards a one world government.

George Tenent, head of the FBI recently testified to a sub-committee that the FBI needs total access to all internet and communications by any individual anywhere in the country.  Why?  Because spying on every one will undoubtedly produce at least one radical terrorist in the making.  Not one  of those people chairing that committee asked George the obvious question: How could overloading the surveillance systems with useless information from billions of sources produce anything but chaos and, how could you possibly thread through the mountains of useless information each day and think that you could possibly identify even one source of importance or interest?  The fact is you couldn’t, but that isn’t the real intent anyway.  Thats the created fictional threat.  Now….aren’t you scared?

The Clean Water Restoration Act is another of those created fictional problems dutifully reported by the MSM as a “growing threat” to the environment.  Why! polluters will run rampant if we don’t pass this “clean water” act.  They are running rampant anyway and this law will only make that problem worse.  By allowing the federal government to claim control over every water source of any kind, and even over dry lake beds, they can stop those polluters dead in their tracks!  NOT!  The fed has to claim authority over all the water in order to be able to privatize the entire water system by selling it off.  This would be to the same corporations in many cases that are doing the polluting and would now be able to sue the government under the trade illegal provisions of CAFTA.  Meaning any law, environmental or otherwise that prohibits their ability to make a profit even if they are the only enitity involved who thinks a profit is possible. 

What passes for news in this country is simply the promotion of state sponsored approved content.  What ever is in the works in D.C., will show up on MSM as headline news presented as a threat, as a great national concern which will preceed some poltical official making a statement about how terrible the problem is…….but he/she has a plan!  Something that will save us all from the current fictional threat.  A new law that will take more away from us in the form of freedom.

Of course, if headline news from the DoD, pentagon, or current administration isn’t to your liking, there is always the air time wasted on celebrity news and birthdays, the occasional crotch shot or mug shot.  My goodness, now there is news worth wasting your time on. 

For those interested in doing some research on who or what controls what you see on the “news”, search out Operation Mockingbird.

Nothing less than treason

Leave a comment

In what is nothing less than a step towards martial law and the North American Union, U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renaurt signed an agreement with Canadian Air Force Lt-Gen. Marc Dumais  which is nothing less than a treaty, called the Civil Assistance PlanThis so-called agreement (treaty) signals the intended use of the military of Canada on U.S. soil, against U.S. Citizens. 

The flowery language in the public announcement from United States Northern Command appears to imply that without the assistance of Canadian troops, our military might not be able to efficiently respond in the event of a national emergency.  Supposedly, if we have a flood, hurricane, forest fire, earthquake or another terrorist attack additional forces that are more flexible and adaptive are needed and these forces are, for some reason, not to be found within the 1.5 million in our own military.

Our military isn’t supposed to respond in the first place, much less with the assistance of foreign soldiers.  We have made similar agreements (treaty’s) with other nations including Germany and Mexico. 

It isn’t a national disaster or attack from terrorists that the two governments are preparing for.  It is the anticipated civil revolts resulting from the intent to merge the U.S, Canada and Mexico; and the intentional creation of a food shortage over this year along with the forced collapse of our economies that has them worried.  What if the peasants revolt?

What concerns me most in this treasonous pact are those terms, flexible and adaptive.  I can’t imagine any military more flexible and adaptive than our own….so what could this really mean?

In the context of the North American Union, it means soldiers who wouldn’t be firing on family and friends…on their countrymen.  The subconscious sense of national identity would allow Canadian soldiers to view us as an enemy.  That sense would not likely include natural inhibitions our own military might have about attacking U.S. citizens under a declaration of martial law.  The reverse would be likely for the U.S. military on Canadian soil.

We have a little known law called “The Logan Act”.  This act makes it a felony for any person to enter into agreements or treaty’s, or even conversations with foreign nations that in any way work to undermine the United States as a nation.  It is only with permission from those with the authority to do so, that any discussions or meetings can occur….and these still may not include anything that undermines the laws or sovereignty of the U.S..

I would like to know who gave Gen. Renaurt the permission to enter into this agreement with foreign nations?  Whomever, that person was, is guilty of a felony as is the General.

Our constitution says that treaty’s are the law of the land.  These must be adhered to.  But, treaty’s also must abide by the sovereign laws of the U.S.  They also must pass both houses of congress and be approved before being adopted.  Which is exactly why “treaty” is never used in these illegal pacts and the word “agreement” is substituted.  This bypasses congress altogether and allows unhindered assaults on our sovereignty. 

 These “agreements” are illegal and unconstitutional regardless of who initiated them.  There are no provisions in our Constitution for such agreements.  This would include the North American Free Trade Agreement.   The Central America Free Trade Agreement.  The Free Trade Area of the America’s Agreement, and a host of other agreements that are destroying our economy and forfeiting our sovereignty. 

This brings me back to a question that seems to run through my mind daily.  Where the hell is our congress?  Whether Democrat or Republican not one of them has made any effort to end this corruption of our laws and of our Constitution.  And, not one of these bloated politicians has spoken one word about this treasonous pact.  Dead silence.

Oh! Except for Ron Paul, he of course, has.  Well…. there’s one in a row.

 

Don’t think they are worried about this either.  If we protest too much they can always vote themselves retro-active immunity from any prosecution…..and then call on Canada’s military to silence us.
