Finance by Drake Finance Many people follow finance, markets, and other investment reports. Most are oblivious (unaware) of plots, plans, and agendas. Those who are in control and high level, do NOT want anyone other than the chosen few to benefit from their efforts. And yet, information does seem to have a way of escaping. Anyone who does not live in a cave has seen the rise of 'equities' and the fall of precious commodities. If not, you need to take a look... I offer a very short history of a financial takeover : One of Rothschild's couriers was a man named Rothworth. When the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo was won by the British, Rothworth took off for the Channel and was able to deliver this news to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, a full 24 hours before Wellington's own courier. At that time British bonds were called consuls and they were traded on the floor of the stock exchange. Nathan Mayer Rothschild instructed all his workers on the floor to start selling consuls. That made all the other traders believe that the British had lost the war so they started selling frantically. (add rumors to that effect) Therefore the consuls plummeted in value which was when Nathan Mayer Rothschild discreetly instructed his workers to purchase all the consuls they could lay their hands on. (credits were used when cash ran low) When news came through that the British had actually won the war, the consuls went up to a level even higher than before the war ended leaving Nathan Mayer Rothschild with a return of approximately 20 to 1 on his investment. This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British economy, now the financial center of the world following Napoleon's defeat, and forced England to set up a new Bank of England, which Nathan Mayer Rothschild controlled. (owned)Today we are seeing another 'shift', a market 'fall, and the fact that the 'End Game' Although this was information about a major battle in a war, notice the tactics used to bring about the intended shift in power, the exact actions taken. Today we are seeing another 'shift', a market 'fall, and the fact that the 'End Game' is being played out. This is the 'final' financial move... We are witnessing a bubble being built in all paper markets, stocks, bonds, etc. At the same time an intended crushing of the value of 'real' value commodities. The 'paper' at that time were the 'warrant' (control) of government bonds. These were directly tied to the financial basis in ownership of the Crown Bank known as The Bank of England. Today we have exactly the same situation, only this time it goes into ALL holdings, both great and small. Most investors are being set up to be caught in this new trap. How? Selling Gold to invest in a moving 'paper' market. Destroying the value of Gold/Silver market values in order to be able to buy in at very reduced levels. The two additional parts of this effort, go to that 'end game' and the fact that the real intent is a 'full' trap for everyone. As 'precious commodities' devalue, the support for currencies also drops, as this is The Currency 'support'. Further, the stock/bond (all paper) value follows along, slowly, almost as an afterthought. Suddenly, the bottom drops out!!! This is the first time that ALL value has been attended in such a direct manner. In the past it was one or the other, not all... In the near future you will see the beginning of the devaluation of 'currencies'. The idea is to remove any and all value other than the 'control factor'. The central banking system has been put on notice that they will receive an order of 'mandamus' (acting according to the letter of the law) in respect to their 'charter' to exist. Those in high levels have decided to try to make a counter move away from all 'equity' to one of direct control. Everything of value is to be reduced to 0... As society collapses from civil unrest, it is believed that the people of the world will start clamoring, hollering, and crying out for any kind of 'relief' they can get. Enter, The New World Order. Anyone who does NOT know what that means needs to look it up. Following this wonderful news, we find the fly in the ointment... The Collateral Accounts, from which all collateral has been being drawn for hundreds of years. Neil Keenan has been working towards garnering legal/lawful representation of these accounts. To date, the agreements are in place, and the finalizing and release of these accounts is imminent. As some of the associated lawsuits are filed, it will become obvious to anyone, why the financial entities, people in control, and vested interests tried to subvert everything. Most of this is known and/or common knowledge for those who are awake and aware. This post is to give those who do not know or are unaware of what is going on and the intentions of those behind such a large effort. I have attempted to inform as many as would listen, to prepare for some interruption in their lives. I have stated to buy out of 'paper' into real value equivalents of Gold and Silver. You will need some form of 'money' in order to survive, part cash, part Gold/Silver. Everyone will need to keep food and goods on hand, Especially those specialty items of meds, supplements, and the non-essential survival items that may become hard to get. IF anyone has been paying attention, you have heard about what happened in Cyprus. I call this 'The Cyprus Effect'. Shortly after that I posted how The Department of Homeland Security could seize your bank account, safety deposit box, and any other property they chose to...the objections to that were such that those in power decided not to risk that here. Around the same time, The International Monetary Fund suggested a $1.40 per gallon gas tax! An attempt to resurrect the international Carbon Tax. The protest again stopped it. The 'plan' is to buy at reduced costs and loan out at 20 - 25% interest...from all equities. I have advised that everyone should take their money out of ALL financial institutions. Anything of 'value' should be possessed by its owner, a hold it in your hand situation. Divest all paper commodities, stocks, bonds, and cash ( limited amounts held). Be sure you have two weeks supplies at the least, more is better. We will all get to see exactly what happens and how this all unfolds.    ~ Drake Drake | April 15, 2013 at 10:12 am | Categories: News | URL: http://wp.me/s2tRr3-finance

WHO IS THIS OBAMA???

WHO IS THIS OBAMA???

Maureen Scott is an ardent American patriot who was born in Pittsburgh , PA , and retired to Richmond , VA , in 2000. Free from the nine-to-five grind of writing for employers and clients, she began writing political commentary to please herself and express her convictions.

The accomplishment of which she is most proud is her volunteer work at an Army base where she looked into the eyes and hearts of the service members who protect our country.

Our Pledge of Allegiance, a military band playing the National Anthem, and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, inspire her passion and views. Her life is guided by a firm belief that truth is the most important virtue, and that God knows what He is doing with her.

THE ARCHITECT OF DESTRUCTION!....

By Maureen Scott

"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it's us against them. But that's not who we are. And that's not the position the leader of our Nation should take." Dr. Benjamin Carson

Obama appears to be a tormented man who is filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That was instilled in him by his family and mentors. It seems to have never left him.

It is not the color of his skin that is a problem for anyone in America . Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.

Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. Or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America , penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.

Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the gravesites of fallen and beloved American heroes.

Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.

He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who oppose his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.

Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissention, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America , rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter". He is anything but. He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.

Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

* Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
* Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.
* Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people on a daily basis!

Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America , and the epitome of a Demagogue.

Six Boys And Thirteen Hands...

Six Boys And Thirteen Hands... Each year I am hired to go to Washington , DC , with the eighth grade class from Clinton , WI where I grew up, to videotape their trip. I greatly enjoy visiting our nation's capitol, and each year I take some special memories back with me. This fall's trip was especially memorable. On the last night of our trip, we stopped at the Iwo Jima memorial. This memorial is the largest bronze statue in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in history -- that of the six brave soldiers raising the American Flag at the top of a rocky hill on the island of Iwo Jima , Japan , during WW II. Over one hundred students and chaperones piled off the buses and headed towards the memorial. I noticed a solitary figure at the base of the statue, and as I got closer he asked, 'Where are you guys from?' I told him that we were from Wisconsin . 'Hey, I'm a cheese head, too! Come gather around, Cheese heads, and I will tell you a story.' (It was James Bradley who just happened to be in Washington , DC , to speak at the memorial the following day. He was there that night to say good night to his dad, who had passed away. He was just about to leave when he saw the buses pull up. I videotaped him as he spoke to us, and received his permission to share what he said from my videotape. It is one thing to tour the incredible monuments filled with history in Washington , DC , but it is quite another to get the kind of insight we received that night.) When all had gathered around, he reverently began to speak. (Here are his words that night.) 'My name is James Bradley and I'm from Antigo, Wisconsin . My dad is on that statue, and I just wrote a book called 'Flags of Our Fathers' which is #5 on the New York Times Best Seller list right now. It is the story of the six boys you see behind me. 'Six boys raised the flag. The first guy putting the pole in the ground is Harlon Block. Harlon was an all-state football player. He enlisted in the Marine Corps with all the senior members of his football team. They were off to play another type of game. A game called 'War.' But it didn't turn out to be a game. Harlon, at the age of 21, died with his intestines in his hands. I don't say that to gross you out, I say that because there are people who stand in front of this statue and talk about the glory of war. You guys need to know that most of the boys in Iwo Jima were 17, 18, and 19 years old - and it was so hard that the ones who did make it home never even would talk to their families about it. (He pointed to the statue) 'You see this next guy? That's Rene Gagnon from New Hamfont-size: 10pt;"> 'The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Iwo Jima . Boys. Not old men. 'The next guy here, the third guy in this tableau, was Sergeant Mike Strank.. Mike is my hero. He was the hero of all these guys. They called him the 'old man' because he was so old. He was already 24. When Mike would motivate his boys in training camp, he didn't say, 'Let's go kill some Japanese' or 'Let's die for our country.' He knew he was talking to little boys.. Instead he would say, 'You do what I say, and I'll get you home to your mothers.' 'The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona .. Ira Hayes was one of them who lived to walk off Iwo Jima . He went into the White House with my dad. President Truman told him, 'You're a hero' He told reporters, 'How can I feel like a hero when 250 of my buddies hit the island with me and only 27 of us walked off alive?' So you take your class at school, 250 of you spending a year together having fun, doing everything together. Then all 250 of you hit the beach, but only 27 of your classmates walk off alive. That was Ira Hayes. He had images of horror in his mind. Ira Hayes carried the pain home with him and eventually died dead drunk, face down, drowned in a very shallow puddle, at the age of 32 (ten years after this picture was taken). 'The next guy, going around the statue, is Franklin Sousley from Hilltop, Kentucky . A fun-lovin' hillbilly boy. His best friend, who is now 70, told me, 'Yeah, you know, we took two cows up on the porch of the Hilltop General Store. Then we strung wire across the stairs so the cows couldn't get down. Then we fed them Epsom salts. Those cows crapped all night.' Yes, he was a fun-lovin' hillbilly boy. Franklin died on Iwo Jima at the age of 19. When the telegram came to tell his mother that he was dead, it went to the Hilltop General Store. A barefoot boy ran that telegram up to his mother's farm. The neighbors could hear her scream all night and into the morning Those neighbors lived a quarter of a mile away. 'The next guy, as we continue to go around the statue, is my dad, John Bradley , from Antigo, Wisconsin , where I was raised. My dad lived until 1994, but he would never give interviews. When Walter Cronkite's producers or the New York Times would call, we were trained as little kids to say 'No, I'm sorry, sir, my dad's not here. He is in Canada fishing. No, there is no phone there, sir. No, we don't know when he is coming back.' My dad never fished or even went to Canada . Usually, he was sitting there right at the table eating his Campbell 's soup. But we had to tell the press that he was out fishing. He didn't want to talk to the press. 'You see, like Ira Hayes, my dad didn't see himself as a hero. Everyone thinks these guys are heroes, 'cause they are in a photo and on a monument. My dad knew better. He was a medic. John Bradley from Wisconsin was a combat caregiver. On Iwo Jima he probably held over 200 boys as they died. And when boys died on Iwo Jima , they writhed and screamed, without any medication or help with the pain. 'When I was a little boy, my third grade teacher told me that my dad was a hero. When I went home and told my dad that, he looked at me and said, 'I want you always to remember that the heroes of Iwo Jima are the guys who did not come back. Did NOT come back.' 'So that's the story about six nice young boys. Three died on Iwo Jima , and three came back as national heroes. Overall, 7,000 boys died on Iwo Jima in the worst battle in the history of the Marine Corps. My voice is giving out, so I will end here. Thank you for your time.' Suddenly, the monument wasn't just a big old piece of metal with a flag sticking out of the top. It came to life before our eyes with the heartfelt words of a son who did indeed have a father who was a hero. Maybe not a hero for the reasons most people would believe, but a hero nonetheless. We need to remember that God created this vast and glorious world for us to live in, freely, but also at great sacrifice Let us never forget from the Revolutionary War to the current War on Terrorism and all the wars in-between that sacrifice was made for our freedom...please pray for our troops. Remember to pray praises for this great country of ours and also ...please pray for our troops still in murderous places around the world. STOP and thank God for being alive and being free due to someone else's sacrifice. God Bless You and God Bless America .. REMINDER: Everyday that you can wake up free, it's going to be a great day. One thing I learned while on tour with my 8th grade students in DC that is not mentioned here is . . that if you look at the statue very closely and count the number of 'hands' raising the flag, there are 13. When the man who made the statue was asked why there were 13, he simply said the 13th hand was the hand of God. Great story - worth your time - worth every American's time. Please pass it on.

Child porn “epidemic” among Pentagon officials and US government employees, by Lori Handrahan

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Montecristo

SOURCE
Last week the IRS decided to award Bradley Birkenfeld his $104 million dollar share for helping bust UBS bank. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and his staff were instrumental. Senator Grassley vowed to delay pending Department of Treasury nominations if the IRS Whistleblower Program, he wrote the legislation in 2006, continued to be mismanaged.

This powerful voice from Iowa has been a beacon in the storm during an Obama Administration that has targeted whistleblowers and prevented accountability as never before. The Pentagon is also under Senator Grassley’s fire for failing to examine 1,700 of the 5,200 reports of employees doing child porn. The Pentagon claimed it “wasn’t a priority.” Senator Grassley and his staff have made it one. The closed investigation into wide-spread use of child porn at the Pentagon is now re-opened.
There is a national crisis of federal employees engaged in the child porn industry and a related epidemic at the state level. I’ve documented two states, Vermont and Maine, that appear to be running state protected child trafficking rings with evidence of cops, judges, lawyers, clergy and government employees covering for each other. This kind of racketeering creates powerful, and extremely profitable, pedophile rings.

Money drives the crime. It is estimated that a criminal willing to molest a child in front of a live webcam can earn $1,000 a night. In Kittery Maine, at the “Danish Health Club,” one bust yielded $6.1 million in “door fees” over a five year period with “prostitutes” earning $12 million. Pimps’ earnings were not reported. The “door man” was a retired police officer whose wife worked in back. This bust happened because of one hard-working IRS agent, Rod Giguere.
An estimated $1.4 billion has been collected by the IRS’s Whistleblower program since 2006; $464 million collected in 2010 but only $48 million in 2011. Half of all global child porn is produced in America. Ten new images of children are posted daily. Estimates of the global profits from child porn range from $3-20 billion. Imagine what the IRS Whistleblower program could collect if they focused on child trafficking as Agent Rod Giguere did in Maine.

The Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Child Exploitation and Obscenities unit has been, by many accounts, totally disabled under US Attorney General Eric Holder. Mr. Holder even refused to prosecute his own Assistant United States Attorney caught doing child porn on DOJ computers. The IRS wants 4,000 new agents and a $300 million budget to enforce ObamaCare. Instead, these resources should be allocated, entirely, for an IRS Child Exploitation & Trafficking Unit.

With so many police, judges, clergy, state and federal employees across America involved in the child porn industry, Americans should be able to turn to the IRS’s Whistleblower program. Richard Weber, Chief of IRS’s Criminal Division in Washington DC, is one point of contact. Apparently, the IRS cares about trafficked children. That’s good news because America’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, does not.

Child trafficking and porn are the fastest growing crimes in America. With billions being laundered in black money it makes solid economic sense for the IRS to focus on the child porn industry. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice has demonstrated they have no interest in prosecuting pedophiles, not even their own. The IRS should be given substantial resources to compensate for DOJ’s disgraceful failure. American tax-payers, not to mention America’s children, will reap huge rewards.

Perhaps Senator Grassley will raise his powerful voice in support.

National Day Of Prayer

The idea began as a column suggestion three days ago. Today it becomes a national movement.
9/11/13: A National Day of Prayer and Fasting.
Last Friday, WND founder Joseph Farah floated the idea – not really anticipating significant reaction.
“Was I ever shocked,” he said. “By 8 a.m. Friday, by email inbox was running over with enthusiastic support for the idea, with about 1,000 people letting me know they would be participating by enlisting friends, family members, church groups, Bible studies and neighbors. They were marking the date on their calendar. Their only reservation was that the date was nearly five months away. They wanted to do something sooner.”
Because of the overall response by email now from thousands of Americans, Farah is asking supporters of the idea to register their intent to participate and to help spread the plan virally.
Farah’s original column pointed out that when “America’s founders faced challenges, they often had the wisdom and insight to call for a national day of prayer and fasting. America is facing challenges today that, in many ways, rival anything we’ve seen since the start of World War II.”
He has written a followup column on the idea published today. Farah laid out some of the reasons for the idea:

• There’s a concerted effort to redefine marriage as any union between people, regardless of sex, possibly regardless even of the number of participants in that union and possibly even regardless of the status of blood relationship between them;
• America continues to abort unborn babies by the millions and has now moved further in the direction of euthanasia on both ends of the life spectrum – possibly even making it a matter of national, state-controlled health-care mandates;
• American foreign policy seems directionless, no longer with the primary concern being national security, but in fostering and fomenting change for the sake of change and breaking down the barriers of national sovereignty;
• Government seems determined to enforce a monopoly on force by making it more difficult for Americans to exercise their constitutionally protected right to procure and bear firearms;
• Government and cultural institutions are breaking down the pillars and principles upon which self-government has been built;
• Government is building up its authority and diminishing the role God plays as the supreme authority in the lives of free people.

“The people are responding, predictably, by doing what’s right in their own eyes, as the people of ancient Israel did before their judgment,” he write. “These are just some of the overwhelming problems our nation faces.”
Can a day of fasting and prayer really make a difference?
Farah thinks so.
See the stunning DVD “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment”, and the book on which it is based, “The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret for America’s Future.”
“His word tells us in 2 Chronicles 7:14: ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’ We’ve got our instructions. God is waiting on us to act – His people. He’s not waiting on the whole world to act. He’s not waiting on a majority of Americans to act. He’s waiting on us.”
Government, Farah believes, is hopelessly is broken.
“No longer does Washington see itself as a servant of the people but rather as their master,” he wrote. “So where do we turn? How can we save America? What would our founders do faced with such predicaments? Those of us who understand the challenges we face for the very survival of America as we have known it throughout most of its history – a shining city on a hill, one nation under God – must start planning now to do something radical.”
Something radical in 2013 is a nationwide day of prayer, fasting and humility, he says.
“Imagine thousands of churches opening their doors to millions of worshippers who heartily confess their sins, seek forgiveness and pray for salvation and redemption and the restoration of our country,” says Farah.
His action plan includes the following:

• Make a note on your calendar now to join in the commitment to participate;
• Help spread the word to the remnant of Americans who understand what we’re up against on Facebook and Twitter and by word of mouth;
• Talk to pastors and Bible study leaders and get them on board;
• Sign up to register your expression of support and your intention to participate.

“This is a matter between God and His people,” Farah says. “Will we follow His command and accept His promise to forgive our sin and heal our land?”

Pope Francis supports crackdown on US Nuns

By NICOLE WINFIELD | Associated Press

VATICAN CITY (AP) —

The Vatican said Monday that Pope Francis supports the Holy See's

crackdown on the largest umbrella group of U.S. nuns, dimming hopes

that a Jesuit pope whose emphasis on the poor mirrored the nuns' own

social outreach would take a different approach than his predecessor.

The Vatican last year imposed an overhaul of the Leadership Conference

of Women Religious after determining the sisters took positions that undermined

Catholic teaching on the priesthood and homosexuality while promoting "radical

feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith." Investigators praised the

nuns' humanitarian work, but accused them of ignoring critical issues, including

fighting abortion.

On Monday, the heads of the conference met with the prefect of the

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard Mueller,

who is in charge of the crackdown. It was their first meeting since Mueller

was appointed in July.

In a statement, Mueller's office said he told the sisters that he had discussed

the matter recently with Francis and that the pope had "reaffirmed the findings

of the assessment and the program of reform."

The conference, for its part, said the talks were "open and frank," and noted

that Mueller had informed them of Francis' decision.

"We pray that these conversations may bear fruit for the good of the Church,"

the conference said on its website.

The Vatican crackdown unleashed a wave of popular support for the sisters,

including parish vigils, protests outside the Vatican's embassy in Washington,

D.C., and a U.S. Congressional resolution commending the sisters for their

service to the country.

Following Francis' election, several sisters had expressed hope that a Jesuit

pope devoted to the poor and stressing a message of mercy rather than

condemnation would take a gentler approach than his predecessor, Benedict

XVI. Francis has called for a more "tender" church and one that serves society's

poorest — precisely a message American sisters have stressed in their ministry

in hospitals, hospices, soup kitchens and schools that serve some of the most marginalized in the U.S.

As part of the reform, the Vatican appointed Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain

and two other bishops to oversee a rewriting of the conference's statutes, to

review its plans and programs, approve speakers and ensure the group properly

follows Catholic prayer and ritual. The conference represents about 57,000 sisters,

or 80 percent of U.S. nuns.

The Leadership Conference has argued that the Vatican reached "flawed"

conclusions based on "unsubstantiated accusations." The group's officers

have said they would participate in discussions with Sartain "as long as possible"

but vowed they would not compromise their group's mission.

Dwell in possibility.  ~ Emily Dickinson

GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A "GPS" ON OUR LEGISLATIVE, REPRESENTATIVE AND EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT

author: V.K.Durham/Multiple Authors Past and Present

Bye the way.. they moved the original 13th Amendment over, put it in Article 1 of the Constitution for the united States of America.. Of course our Representatives, Legislatures, Executive Branch were only taught one 'sentence' from the LAW OF THE LAND/Constitution.. but! By Gollies, By Jimminies, and a couple of GEE WHIZ'S... they actively engage in passing laws when the House and Senate are out of session, by a few men and women who take over the floor..video taping themselves.. as they subvert the Constitution for the united States of America!? Go figure! =======================================================================

By: V.K. Durham How you going to find your way back home.. if you do not know where you began on this "pathway" to destruction of Constitutional Rights, Civil Rights and Liberties.. to protect yourself from US [corporate] House and Senate Members who took an Oath to "Uphold, Protect and Defend".. but... sadly.. they don't have the slightest idea as to exactly WHAT they are SWORN to uphold, protect and defend.. They themselves lost their way.. by not knowing the proper path.. There are many founding documents which can be read at http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DocOfAmeriHist/DocOfAmeriHistIndex.html Another excellent site http://www.constitution.org/cs_found.htm The Powers That Be would have you to believe this Northwest Ordinance has been set aside and is no longer valid or in effect. THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE July 13, 1787 http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DocOfAmeriHist2/DocOfAmeriHistIndex2.html Considering a direct parallel in events concerning Rights of We the People.. it was thought a wee bit of documentation would help those who 'believe' the Constituion and Bill of Rights should be done away with. To which I strongly disagree for if in the event we did.. we would be forced back into the Old Patroon System which the Colonist strongly objected to including their objecting to the forced "Slavery" by the PATROONS.. CHARTER OF FREEDOMS AND EXEMPTIONS TO PATROONS June 7, 1629 which you can read here link to www.theantechamber.net This being the reason the Colonist set forth for resolution of their Rights as Human Beings.. with the Rights to Make and Sell Goods, the Rights to Own Property, the Rights to Equal Law under the Law of the Land as set forth in the Constitution.. It's the dates which you have in all probability ignored... but check the dates of the documents which set forth the ground work/foundation of these Republics of the united States of America.. Check out Article IV. Sec. IV. Section. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence. Durham Trust Library provides a work in progress in regards to the Original Constitution.. DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1786 -1870 DERIVED FROM THE RECORDS, MANUSCRIPTS, AND ROLLS DEPOSITED IN THE BUREAU OF ROLLS AND LIBRARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE Number 31579. Volume I. Seven Thousand Books were authorized to be printed. We are very fortunate to have one of the Original Seven Thousand Books. http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/dhc/dhcII.gif WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF STATE 1894 which can be read at http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/dhc/dhcIndex.htm It's true; The Constitution originally was put into place as a commercial trade instrument. The Constitution for the united States goes ever further.. as she lays her foundations of International Good Faith and Credit by including: Article VI All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. [Lets take a moment of "discovery" as to exactly what the Confederation is being referred to in this ARTICLE VI. Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts-bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article I. The Stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article II. Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every Power, Jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article III. The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. Article III. The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. QUESTION! Do you know that the GENERAL WELFARE clause is, or what brought it into existence.. Well! The PATROON SYSTEM brought it into existence when the Colonist were forbidden to make, sell or trade the goods they made.. THEY WERE FORCED TO IMPORT FROM THE EUROPEAN CORPORATIONS everything they needed or that was necessary for their survivial. Once the 'dust settled'.. THE GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE became a very important thing to these American Colonist.. Whereas; No goods could be imported into the united states of lesser quality, made by cheap labor which could be sold at a lesser price than American Producers and Manufacturers could produce themselves. The purpose being "Not to discourage the American Producers and Manufacturers." go ahead, read the rest http://www.usconstitution.net/articles.html there is more http://www.usconstitution.net/articles.html#Preamble ] Are you tracking this? This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. Constitution for the United States of America done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America [September 17t, 1787]. September 25, 1789. During the debates on the adoption of the Constitution, its opponents repeatedly charged that the Constitution as drafted would open the way to tyranny by the central government. Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a "bill of rights" that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens. Several state conventions in their formal ratification of the Constitution asked for such amendments; others ratified the Constitution with the understanding that the amendments would be offered. Any idea what was being referred to? It was the Declaration of Independence. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE June 4, 1776 http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DocOfAmeriHist/DocOfAmeriHist24.html , http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DocOfAmeriHist/DocOfAmeriHist24.html , link to www.theantechamber.net Ask yourseves. What went on that was so horrible in the lives of WE the People in those days? Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States therefore proposed to the state legislatures 12 amendments to the Constitution that met arguments most frequently advanced against it. The first two proposed amendments, which concerned the number of constituents for each Representative and the compensation of Congressmen, were not ratified. Articles 3 to 12, however, ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, constitute the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. Now think about this. After that long hot summer and the bickering too and fro.. over what was the Just, Honorable and Right thing to do to protect the People from those Acts described in The Declaration of Independence by setting up A LAW called "CONSTITUTION" for the united States which would govern those EMPLOYED by the People to conduct International Trade in the BEHALF of THE PEOPLE.. Well! Lots of thought went into this one.. The founding fathers came to the conclusion if the People did not have a BILL OF RIGHTS to protect them from such from which they had fought the American Revolution.. They, themselves would become no better than the Omnipitent Corporations which represented the Kings and Queens who had a stranglehold using a SLAVE SYSTEM called THE PATROONS. Not wanting to become a shadow image of the former, you will find their intention set forth in The Preamble to The Bill of Rights to wit; Congress of the United States begun and held at the City of New-York, on Wednesday the fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine. THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
