The Senate takes the same bill, votes, it passes. The Senate is simply performing a series of actions perfectly authorized by the Constitution.
The President signs the bill laid before him, and suddenly we have a law. School House Rock would be proud!
Our founding fathers, however... not so much.
This is a law that forces compliance to federal mandates, threatens fines of $10,000 and ten years in federal prison, and advances this nation further from a Government of and by the People into a Government Over the People.
The year is 1934, The law was the Gold Reserve Act. The federal government very literally seized, at gunpoint, the entire wealth of the people of the United States. The government acted as common criminals perfecting their weapons of choice - fear, intimidation, and brute force. It was made a federal crime to own more than 5 ounces of gold, and was severely criminal to use the metal as a source of monetary value for trade. The federal government made themselves very clear - hand over the cash and no one gets hurt.
Under a guise of national security, and with the authority of the Trading With The Enemy Act, FDR and his congress effectively labelled any merchant of gold an Enemy of the State - what would be considered and widely reported in today's media as a terrorist. Suddenly, any free American not declaring their gold and not surrendering it to federal authorities was a TERRORIST.
The year is 2009, the bill in question is the Affordable Health Care for America Act. The federal government is seizing, at gunpoint, the entire Health of the people of the United States. The government is acting as common criminals, forcing submission to their product under the threat of fear, intimidation, and brute force. It will be a federal crime to not purchase a US Government Product - Health Insurance. The federal government is making themselves very clear - hand over the cash and no one gets hurt... unless the end of life counselors determine, on your behalf, that it is in your best interest and the best interest of the country.
Under the guise of national security and economic stabilization, and with the authority of, well, its the Government - who's gonna stop them? Obama and his Democratic Congress will effectively label any free citizen exercising a Natural Right NOT to procure a product as an Enemy of the State, a terrorist.
One has to look at the History of the United States and ask, "How is it that we are considered a Free Society?"
What is the relationship between the People of the United States and their Government?
History would reveal a series of gross offenses by a tyrannical government over a free people. From the Indian Wars for US backed Gold Prospecting, to Japanese internment after Pearl Harbor; from the invasion of Southern States by Federal troops, to the invasion of foreign lands for Imperial resources; from the Gold Reserve Act to the Patriot Act... The list goes on and on, but the result is always the same: The People are absolutely powerless to stop the will of the Federal Government - any resistance will be met with fines, imprisonment, internment, or Death.
Blue Lyon even reported last week on a Washington Post piece finding that Federal Prosecutors are free from legal recourse for FRAMING individuals in order to win cases!
But here’s the twist: The prosecutors say that they can’t be sued for anything they do in their official capacities, even framing suspects.The federal government's corruption is extended across three branches, with power to suspend or ignore the Constitution and those blessed rights preserved by the people, for the people, as we granted limited powers to our government. There is no power to stop the government in their forceful rule of our daily lives or personal property - only fear and intimidation, powerful tools to keep subjects in line.
It is not an argument outside the legal mainstream. The federal government, a majority of states and thousands of prosecuting attorneys are supporting the proposition that prosecutors must receive absolute immunity for their actions at trial to do their jobs properly. And that extends, they say, to any investigative work they do before the suspect is charged.
[...]
There is no “free-standing due process right not to be framed,” Deputy Solicitor General Neal K. Katyal agreed. Having to worry about a potential lawsuit when deciding whether to introduce certain evidence, Katyal said, might cause prosecutors to “flinch” from their duties.
The relationship between the Government and We the People is no longer what it was intended to be. We find ourselves on this day, and for many days before, born into slavery to a government that is rabid with power, and brutal with enforcement of their laws.
To keep gold - a crime.
To refuse Government Healthcare - a crime.
To use force to obtain property belonging to another individual -
I ask you, my reader, my fellow citizen - what is the trigger... what is the catalyst... what is the offense that is so egregious that it will be THE ONE to make the citizenry rise up and demand that they simply STOP - that we want nothing more than to be left alone!
"...experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed..." - The Declaration of IndependenceWhen do we say "Enough". How do we stop these elected officials from further eroding our Natural Rights? How do we ensure that We the People are the keepers of the power, and that the Government should fear us - Not the other way around?
We support the most debilitating punishment for a government - the Right of the people to Opt Out... the right of the States to Opt Out... we support with the fullest power of our body and mind the freedom of a group of people to say "No More".
The United States applauded the secession of the Soviet Republics 20 years ago, when the Iron Curtain fell and with it the Berlin Wall, but in America the thought of secession is criminal. Scholars and paupers alike will tell you that the Right to Secession was lost when the South surrendered during their war for independence. Does the rule only apply to enemies of the US, or are we subject to the same rules of Natural Law? Is there any wonder why Obama downplayed the anniversary of the collapse of a Socialist Power and the secession of her states?
There is a very simple, very clear message being sent by the US government: Every Knee Shall Bow.
You ask a VERY good question, sir. I know where I stand on the issues; I wonder where the others will be?
ReplyDeleteWay to get me all upset - this "gunpoint" stuff is precisely what is happening. As for "what will it finally take" for us to rise up, all I can say is that we're rising up now. At what point do our governors take us into open rebellion, I cannot say - I just wish it'd hurry up. I've got a little secessionist blood in me...
ReplyDeleteIt is not simply a matter of having secessionist blood in you... rather it is realizing the importance of reclaiming the power from the federal government and affording the people and the states the power reserved for them by the tenth amendment to the Constitution... we all still remember what that is, right? That any power not granted to the Fed Gov. is reserved for the people and the states... that includes the right to tell the tyrannical fed to piss off!
ReplyDeleteTo say that they are doing it at gunpoint is the most accurate description. If you don't buy healthcare, they will send the IRS after you to garnish your wages and will likely send US Marshalls to your doorstep to haul you off to jail... We are servants to a tyrannical force much more powerful than King George... our founders would be ashamed of what we let slip away.
And I agree... it is going to have to be the governors and the state legislatures who make the stand... we need to start pressing them hard...
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS BOUGHT BY BIG CORPORATIONS DECADES AGO! IN A DEMOCRACY THE MAJORITY VOTES AND THE NEW LEADERS TRY TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE LITTLE GUY. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIES AND CRONYISMS WERE SHREDDING THE CONSTITUSION. LOOKING THE OTHER WAY WHEN REPUBLICAN FANATICS GREW GOVERNMENT AND RAISED TAXES, BY BORROWING NEXT YEARS TAXES FROM CHINA? THAT'S DOUBLING TAXES! CAN'T YOU EVEN ADD? FIGHTING RACISM, THEFT AND BIGOTRY WITH MORE LIES AND BIGOTRY WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. WE HAVE SEEN THE FAILURE OF YOUR IDEAS AND THEY ALMOST SENT AMERICA OVER A CLIFF. LISTEN TO STEVE IF YOU WILL, I ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE A MIND THAT WILL NOT LET ME COMMIT SUICIDE. STEVE IS AN IGNORAMUS ON EVERY ISSUE....HEY, MAYBE HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET?
ReplyDeleteBUYING HEALTH CARE IS NOT A FINE! DUMMY...YOU GET SOMETHING FOR THE MONEY....YOU GET HEALTH CARE! AND SO DO YOUR CHILDREN AND FRIENDS.TEA BAGGERS AT THE RALLYS WHO HAD HEART ATTACKS WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN SOCIALISED GOVERNMENT RUN FIRE EMERGENCY UNITS. IF THEY WERE OVER 65 THEY CHARGED THE LIFE AND DEATH HELP TO GOVERNMENT RUN MEDICARE. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALIZE THAT IT'S WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING THAT COUNTS...AND WHAT YOU GET FOR IT. RIGHT NOW YOU GET A KNIFE IN THE BACK FROM BIG BUSSINESS WHO WOULD GLADLY TRADE YOU OR YOUR CHILDRENS LIVES FOR A FEW MORE PROFIT DOLLARS. GROW UP AND START ACTING LIKE RATIONAL THINKING ADULTS INSTEAD OF SCARED KNEE JERKING IRRATIONAL 14 YR OLDS. MAKING LYING PUNK STATEMENTS, NO MATTER HOW LOUD DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE...IT'S STILL A LIE. STEVE DOEN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HE SPEAKS! I'LL DEBATE YOU ANYTIME. I'LL EVEN BET YOU MONEY AND GIVE YOU 10 TO 1 ODDS (100,000 MINIMUM) THAT OBAMA WAS BORN IN THE U.S. PUT UP OR SHUT UP (I'LL PROVE IT IN COURT). STOP FARTING THRU THE WRONG HOLE. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE PROVABLY WRONG ON 80% OF WHAT YOU SAY? GO AHEAD SAY SOME MORE BULL.
ReplyDeleteGML -
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, please turn off your Caps when commenting. It is a common courtesy.
Secondly, this country was founded as a REPUBLIC not a Democracy... So you miss the point with your inability to understand the true intent of this nation.
You called me a bigot - prove it. Otherwise your "words" mean nothing. You're just spewing hate on my blog.
You called me an ignoramous on every issue - prove it... again, you make claims and I can assure you that you have not read more than this article on my blog. Do a little research before you pretend to know my thoughts.
The fire and medic programs are State Run. This is Constitutional. A FEDERAL/NATIONAL healthcare system, however, is unconstitutional... I wouldn't expect you to understand the difference - you don't seem that intelligent in your comments and you resort to namecalling as a form of debate.
BTW - I'll debate you on any issue, any time.
