You often hear the phrase from morons and idiots, "Ignorance of the Law is Know Excuse!" and those are usually the people that probably break more of them than you would care to know. That is not an unfounded statement. Since the year 2000, the congress has added an extra 452 laws that they deem to be criminal.
"On the federal level, there are an estimated 4,452 laws..."
If you were to add all of the state laws, federal laws, tax laws etc. you would have a very large number. I say that because know body knows the exact number of laws there are. As a matter of fact, on the federal level, there are an estimated 4,452 laws. So my answer to the statement "Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse!" is: "Well, since you are not ignorant of the law, Sir or Madam, how many laws are there? " I would probably follow that up with "Well, since you don't know that number, Sir or Madam, how many categories of laws are there?" and you could easily follow that up with, "I thought you said ignorance of the law is no excuse? Aren't you ignorant of it? You don't even know how many laws there are probably much less what they say or mean."
But we are slaves in America today and the government knows it and loves it. They know that they can take our lives, homes and anything else they so desire in a moments notice.
It is so sad to see what we have become. In practically one generation, we have gone from a noble freedom loving country to a hypnotically addicted pack of whiners, whose only response to an obviously oppressive government is "What can I do??? I don't have the time to get involved!!!"
If resources ever get tight in America, you could expect that the government will take massive action to seize whatever resources they can to preserve the ultra-wealthy and privileged in America. As a matter of fact, I would say that the government would have a much easier time slapping down law-abiding citizens that just want to go to work and come home to their families every day, rather than criminals. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is the way it has been in America for quite some time now. Slowly but surely, the underworld has become the over-world and you don't have to look very far across one of our borders to see that happen.
Slowly but surely, the underworld has become the over-world...
For example, in Mexico, the people of that country are not allowed to own guns to protect themselves but the criminals have all the guns they want. They have bought out the politicians, with either money or threats in the people of that country know who is in charge. Drug lords and gangs are so powerful that they actually get their own burial places where people come and lay flowers on their graves. They are considered to be something to aspire to be, since they are at the top of the food chain. As a matter of fact, many of the drug lords that are the most famous in that country, actually get small icons of themselves made in small shops that sell them just like you would put the Virgin Mary on your dashboard if you were Catholic.
If you think the local police are going to protect you from rampaging criminals even now, then you are living in a fantasy world
Don't think that it can't happen here. If you think the local police are going to protect you from rampaging criminals even now, then you are living in a fantasy world. Back in the 1970s, when I was a kid there was a Mafia person in my neighborhood that just about killed four or five neighbors. One of the neighbors he hated the worst was a policeman, and he constantly threatened this man with guns and violence. The policeman was just as helpless as the rest of us, because the law protects criminals and the police even know it.
Currently, in the state of Kentucky, people that steal copper wiring out of just about everything they can get their hands on so they can buy illegal drugs, are running rampant. When they are caught ripping out somebody's heater or air conditioner from their homes, they get a two-year probationary period and they are back on the streets again the next day. I know of one man that sells trailers and every single one of the mobile home units that he sells has had the heating and cooling units ripped right out from under the new trailers.
As a matter of fact, he has caught the individuals, and they were back on the streets the next day. Now, they sit across the street from his place of business and wait to see when the new trailers are arriving, so they can rip them off the next night.
This is justice in America, fore criminals run everything...
However, if the common citizen who worked hard and paid their taxes all their lives went out and did the same act, they would probably get slapped in jail for 10 years. This is justice in America, fore criminals run everything and you don't have to look any farther than Washington DC to see it happen all the time.
When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the federal government had no problem with going in and confiscating all of the innocent people's guns so they could not even protect themselves or their property. Authorities went door-to-door, in some cases brutalizing and threatening old people, while taking guns away from everybody they could.
You don't believe me? Watch this :
Of course, criminals are not going to give up their guns and try to treat the law with respect. But even if the law is telling you to turn over your guns they are jumping over your second amendment rights to own a gun. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, as stated in amendment six. Therefore, you can't just create laws and rules around that, because it is a part of our Bill of Rights. As a matter of fact, our second amendment in the Constitution quite implicitly states:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
So, based on what I have just told you, you can see that the government has broken the law. We no longer have a nation that follows the supreme law of the land, therefore, we don't have much of a nation to begin with. In countries such as Russia, and even North Korea, the government has a constitution very similar to ours, however it is just a facade that nobody in government would dare to follow because they would lose all of their power. It is just there to make themselves feel better, but what good is a Constitution if nobody follows it?
God help us if we have a national emergency because this government will not hesitate to go door-to-door and take guns, food, gold or silver
Based on the evidence, that is where we are at in the United States today. God help us if we have a national emergency because this government will not hesitate to go door-to-door and take guns, food, gold or silver or anything else that they need to include your house, and as I see it, nobody will put a stop to it.
I get a lot of criticism that this is a sort of negative blog; I guess it doesn't help that the title of it is "Doomed Republic". Actually, I feel very fortunate to live in America for the last 55 years. Unlike most of the current world, God has had the kindness of placing me into the freest country that the planet has ever seen. If I had been born one generation earlier in America, I would have probably been seen the Great Depression, and been involved in WWII. So, considering the time and place that I have been blessed to live in, I would say that I really have no complaints. I have never gone hungry, had the lack of employment or been told that I could not pursue happiness. Thanks to America, I have had the opportunity to become a professional musician and literally play all over the world. I have had businesses, acquire my Masters degree, and own several houses. In most countries around the world, this type of life would be a fantasy. So, once again, thank you God for blessing me.
Our Government Was Never Designed to Take Care of Itself
Now that I am heading toward the later period of my life, I want to do the right thing and give something back to society. I can easily see that all of these freedoms that we enjoy in America will soon be gone. You see, our government was never designed to take care of itself. It was created in a manner that gave responsibility to the people that it was created for to maintain. Our forefathers were not "recliner whiners" that watched 200 channels of television and felt that if they watched FOX News or CNN they were taking part in our government. These were people that suffered under the boot of tyranny, and when they finally won their freedom after a bloody revolution which they almost lost, knew that they had to guard and defend it passionately. That is not to say that they trusted the people in power, fore they knew that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even after our beloved Constitution was drafted and sent out for all of the new states to read and debate, many freedom loving Americans didn't trust it because they felt it gave too much power to a centralized government. Many Americans felt an extreme distrust and disdain for the Congress and Senate, and some people even felt the Presidency was too much like a monarchy.
The British are Coming ! The British are Coming!
So, keeping a wary eye on our elected officials is very American. It is the way we keep our elected officials accountable and ensure that we remain a free republic. If you are even mildly aware of what is going on in America today, you will come to the obvious conclusion that something is going very wrong. We are not in Mayberry anymore, Toto, and John Wayne is really dead. The falcon cannot hear the falconer and Americans need to wake up and face reality. The people in power have been seduced and they do not care one wit about our republic or its people. It doesn't matter which party or President that is in power, you are not on their "A" list. Currently, we have an administration in Washington that is more concerned with rescuing the extreme rich while claiming to be a party of the people. On the other hand, you have the Republican party that claims to be conservative while attempting to dump another load of taxes on us. Do we really have a choice in America, or are we just fooling ourselves?
A Noble People Deserve a Noble Government
We can't just blame politicians either. If you think for one second that a drug and alcohol induced, sports and sex fascinated, Godless country is going to remain free, you better think again. When people have no moral base, it is going to be dog - eat - dog out here in America and whatever sort of government that we have will be gone along with all of our creature comforts. When the Dark Ages hit Europe and the roman Empire fell it was the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Conquest struck the roman empire, then all sorts of wars ravaged the countryside as well as famine and death (disease). Each event feeding on the other.
Don't think it can't happen here. Everyday the U.S. Dollar is getting trashed by an unseen hand called the Federal Reserve. When China or some other government finally tells us that our money is no good and they will not accept it, chances are that the people that sell us oil won't want it either. When that happens, God help us! Food won't be delivered to Walmart, and police won't show up on your street to protect you. The bad part about this is that it is being done by design. It is really no mistake, these international banking entities are deliberately moving us toward a totalitarian world government, and Americans had better wake up to that fact.
Your life depends on two things right now. One, you need to know what is going wrong. If your car started acting strange, you would take the first step and try to find out what is wrong with it. The next thing you would do is try to fix it. That's what this blog is all about. Knowing what is wrong so you can fix it. If you take no action, then you can expect to get the government you deserve.
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Ft. Bliss Troops in preparation for desert warfare
President Barack Obama has made good on another campaign promise that he would get troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan during his tenure. I find it very interesting that the timing of the removal of American forces from those areas comes directly before the next presidential election almost one year to the date.
Fort Bliss, Texas is under massive growth in troop strength and in construction...
But the question is, will American troops stay out of any wars in the Middle East? I believe that Pres. Obama will win reelection and he will enter into another series of wars in the middle east after the deal is done. I have several reasons for believing this. First of all, you need to take a look at the type of training military troops are currently acquiring. One of the largest military bases for training in desert warfare in the United States is Fort Bliss, Texas. Currently, Fort Bliss, Texas is under massive growth in troop strength and in construction that people are referring to the newly built parts of Fort Bliss as "the second Fort Bliss".
As you probably already know, Fort Bliss is next to El Paso, Texas where there a large desert environment for troops to train in. Why would they not be building up troops to train in mountainous and snowy terrain? Why aren't they expanding Fort Wainwright or Fort Richardson and Alaska? The answer is obvious, we are expecting more conflict in the Middle East where there are desert environments.
...we are also strategically placing troops in the Mediterranean region for possible inclusion if a war should break out.
Not only are we training troops for desert like environments, but we are also strategically placing troops in the Mediterranean region for possible inclusion if a war should break out. As a matter of fact, Russian intelligence has detected that American troops are being built up along the borders of Iran, and there is still talk that there will be a possible stationing of permanent troops in Iraq to help stabilize the government. ( http://en.rian.ru/russia/20070327/62697703.html )
Not only that, but there are true buildups and movements within the Mediterranean region to include Italy, Syria, Egypt and several other countries that are "conveniently located" in the region. Let us not forget that during President Clinton's tenure, he pledged that we would only have troops temporarily in Bosnia but as he was making that pledge, the troops were building permanent encampments there and there are still United States troops stationed in Bosnia. Let us also not forget that President George Bush, during his reelection, conveniently pulled out troops from Iraq but was quietly placing them in Afghanistan at the same time.
Yesterday on Fox News, news pundit Juan Williams admitted to the hosts of the show that President Obama had to override the Congress and Senate and use executive orders to "get anything through the Republican Congress or Senate." Apparently, Mr. Williams does not understand the intention of executive orders, because he would see that these specific orders are to be used in a time of national emergency. A clear example of this in recent history would have been possibly been 911 when America was under attack by terrorist forces. Executive orders are not to be used as a political tool to ram through more legislation but as an authority in a time of national crisis.
Executive Orders Are Dangerous as a Political Tool
Once you go down the road of using executive orders in this fashion, there is no end to the dictatorial powers a president would have. Below is a partial list of Presidential Executive Orders that could be invoked by a seated president:
Executive Orders (EO)s are decrees that are issued by the President of the United States and which carry the force of law when activated by a president. All EOs are printed in the U.S. Federal Register. The following are a few examples of some EOs and their purposes that relate to a State of national emergency. [1] (http://www.aero-vision.com/~rayj/no02003.htm)
10995--Federal seizure of all communications media in the United States;
10997--Federal seizure of all electric power, fuels, minerals, public and private;
10998--Federal seizure of all food supplies and resources, public and private and all farms and equipment;
10999--Federal seizure of all means of transportation, including cars, trucks, or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports and water ways;
11000--Federal seizure of American people for work forces under federal supervision, including the splitting up of families if the government so desires;
11001--Federal seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, both public and private;
11002--Empowers the Postmaster General to register all men, women and children in the United States of America;
11003--Federal seizure of all airports and aircraft;
11004--Federal seizure of all housing and finances and authority to establish Forced Relocation. Authority to designate areas to be abandoned as "unsafe," establish new locations for the populations, relocate communities, build new housing with public funds;
11005--Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, both public and private;
11051--Provides FEMA complete authorization to put above orders into effect in times of increased international tension of economic or financial crisis (FEMA will be in control in case of "National Emergency").
The Loss of All Civil Rights
Basically, Americans under a president using this type of power at will would be in a police state, wherein all civil rights would easily be revoked. America would enter into a tyranny that it could not easily get out of. Because most Americans have been so dumbed-down, they don't even know or understand how much blood was shed in the establishment of our federal republic. They are unaware of how much torture, death and suffering our freedom loving ancestors had to pay fighting a British tyrant. Now, we have people within our free press calling for the President of the United States to act like King George III and seize total control.
If Americans don't wake up very soon, we will see an America much like the one depicted in this Discovery Channel Video:
America is desperately grasping at straws while trying to become a part of a new world government. While handing over billions and trillions of dollars to just about everyone on the planet, the Congress and Senate are cutting more Americans out of jobs. Yes, it is OK for Hillary to show up in Libya this week and pledge another 11 million dollars to an unstable government, after all, we already gave them 135 million over the last couple of years. (Not to mention the billions we gave to Pakistan.)and now we are now going to tell our military men to "take a hike."
Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta today announced that the Pentagon is now going to slash its military budget by 260 billion! That's right troops, not only will you be out of a job (and by the way, you can forget postal jobs, and any other government jobs, because they are all getting cut and gutted) but you can also get in line behind the millions upon millions of immigrants that are flooding our country for any assistance, because after all, charity begins in foreign lands.
And let's make no mistake about this, the people that are currently in the Congress and Senate are not on your side, no matter what they tell you in this upcoming election season. Yeah, Obama isn't the economy President, that's for sure, but neither are the Democrats or the Republicans that are in charge. Both parties hate your guts behind closed doors and are raking in foreign money to fuel their political machines. Too hard to believe, let's take a look at the evidence:
If you are from another country, and want food stamps, you don't have to even speak the language and you will have food stamps in your hands within 3 working days. If you are a veteran, forget it.
If you are from a foreign country in California or Texas (doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal) you get in - state tuition for college. Everybody else from different states can pay out of state tuition.
If you want to be a teacher in America, come on in the water's fine. However, if you want to go to most foreign countries and teach, get in the back of the line.
We are handing millions upon millions of dollars to foreign countries every time there is a disaster, yet we barely get assistance from our own government when disaster strikes.
I guess we could go on and on, but why kill a gnat with a bazooka? If you think our elected officials are for the United States of America and its people, think again.
I swear, sometimes I think I am in a science fiction movie. Reading and watching today's news is akin to watching the movie The Omen about the introduction of a global government and a charismatic world leader. Let's just take some recent events. for example, I don't ever recall a time in my life when about half the countries in the Middle East are leaderless and in some cases in a state of anarchy. Currently, Libya, Iraq, are leaderless and Syria is in political upheaval as well as Egypt. Wouldn't it be interesting to see an unknown leader emerge that could lead all of them at once?
Vatican Calls for a Global Currency
Just this week, the Vatican released a 18 page document stating that there should be a global currency and a supranational entity ( global government) to control it. You can read the rest of this here: http://doomedrepublic.blogspot.com/2011/10/666-get-ready-for-global-banking-system.html
So, it comes as no surprise that there are other quickly developing events that are very similar occurring in the world that would leave you to believe we are nearing an end of Biblical proportions.
The EU Bails Out Greece and Then Goes to China with Hat in Hand
Just yesterday, the European Union (EU) bailed Greece out of total financial collapse, even though the Union is totally bankrupt and manufacturing digital money that is not worth the paper it is not written on. Today the leaders of the EU are asking China for money, but the Chinese who are obviously a little smarter than the rest of the bankrupt world, are sitting back and telling the EU, "We'll take it into consideration."
You can read it here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-26/euro-rescue-fund-chief-goes-to-china-as-europe-seeks-investors.html
What's next? It is hard to tell exactly what will happen, but you can almost guarantee that more horrible economic news is on the horizon as the U.S. makes more financial mistakes, like handing out money to the rest of the world while its own economy flounders. If the U.S totally collapses, then where will the rest of the world get its funding and ammunition? You only have to look to the Chinese to find that answer.
