Thieves, Liars and Frog Soup
http://amerexile.blogspot.com/
If I needed medical care, food, housing or an education but could not afford it; I robbed you and then used the money to obtain my needs, would I be a criminal?
We both know that the answer is, “Yes.”
If however, I asked someone else to rob people and bought what I needed with the money they stole; does that make me a criminal? Under any rational moral or legal code in history, the answer is still, “Yes.” The confiscation of other’s property by force is a crime. The receipt of stolen property is a crime. Participating in the discussion of a plan to steal from others is conspiracy. Knowledge of the theft, before, during or after, makes one an accessory to the crime. So, if I steal, receive stolen property, know of the theft, or discuss the theft with the thief at any time, I am a criminal.
Evil’s most powerful tool is deception. When evil is presented in such a manner as to make itself seem good, and those who know better choose to be willingly deceived, they are also evil. When people are repeatedly robbed, yet take no action to protect their property or defend themselves, they deserve to be victimized. This is all that is required for evil to triumph.
I have just described the situation in America. Before the ink was dry on the Constitution that established a government obligated to guarantee equal protection under law, evil was at work to destroy equality. A frontal attack was hopeless. Blatant aggression inspires action by those who would otherwise do nothing. So, the evil men who are destroying America act in small incremental deceptions and minor usurpations, all ultimately adding up to total enslavement.
They employ a method that has sometimes been called “Frog Soup.” Place a frog in boiling water and it will quickly jump out. But place a frog in cool water, then increase the temperature slowly, it will allow itself to be cooked alive. This recipe might just as accurately be called, “American Soup,” for this is the strategy by which we have passively surrendered every right we once had.
What are the ingredients in this recipe?
• They add a pinch of class envy.
• They throw in a cup of irrationality, claiming that inequality of outcomes is the result of injustice rather than the simple fact of differing degrees of ability.
• They cloak the distasteful crime of theft in the seasoning of guilt, charity and compassion.
• They subdue the bitterness of lost liberty under the watery broth of illusory safety.
The whole purpose of this recipe is to expand the power of an elite group of chefs by claiming their right to abuse one group of people to the seeming benefit of another. Yet their cauldron of slavery cooks all until they are dead.
They are liars. Those who unwittingly believe them are fools. Those who know better, but passively accept their lies are accessories. Those who know they are liars, and that they are using their lies to destroy America and do nothing to resist them are cowards. All these ingredients simmer together to make American Frog Soup.
The primary crime to which America is now being victimized is the control of our money supply by a secret, privately owned and operated “bank” called the Federal Reserve System.
• This system robs every person of their wealth by destroying the value of every dollar they hold through inflation.
• It further robs us all through a calculated system of expanding and contracting lending.
• When interest rates are low, lending becomes easy resulting in an unnatural economic bubble making everyone believe that we are prosperous and our investments are secure.
• When lending is tightened, the bubble collapses, creating bank failures, falling stock prices, unemployment and the destruction of life’s savings invested in the market.
• Those at the top of the financial food chain – that is those on friendly terms with the Federal Reserve – make huge profits during the boom, quickly sell their holdings prior to the bust, then use their ill-gotten wealth to buy up failed banks and businesses after the crash.
• When the dust settles, they are immeasurably more wealthy and powerful. Their increased wealth and power are the result of the transfer of wealth and power from their victims – just as if they had robbed millions of people at gun point, yet they never need leave their lavish offices or penthouses.
• The Federal Reserve System is the first “wealth redistribution scheme” perpetrated in America. It redistributes the wealth of those who actually work, produce and create value (honest hard-working people)to those who do not (bankers and politicians).
The second crime by which America is victimized includes any method of taxation based upon ownership of property or production of wealth. Every person who has income forcibly removed from them, whether through income taxes, capital gains taxes, gift taxes, inheritance taxes or property taxes, are victims to a crime just as if they had been held up by a common street thug.
• This system of taxation punishes those who actually create the economic prosperity upon which all of us rely.
• It destroys the incentive to improve one’s economic station in life by taking a larger percentage from those who produce more and a lower percentage from those who produce less. The natural and logical response to this situation is to produce as little as possible.
• When this system of theft is coupled with inflation, it discourages savings because money sitting in savings accounts is devalued by inflation, and what paltry interest the money earns is taxed as a capital gain.
• Even if these effects were non-existent, this method of theft is immoral and impractical because it destroys property rights. Without property rights, the incentive to do anything productive with one’s wealth or real property is destroyed, because it is subject to theft. No rational person invests in maintaining or improving something that is likely to be stolen at any moment.
The linchpin in this criminal conspiracy is the concept of entitlement.
• The men and women who live at the pinnacle of this vast pyramid scheme believe they are entitled to manipulate the policies and laws of any nation to accommodate their desire to acquire unearned wealth through the corruption of our money supply and investment processes.
• The men and women in politics believe they are entitled to the power and personal prestige associated with their position without having to earn that power and prestige by honoring their oaths of office or by protecting the rights of citizens who elected them. They also believe they deserve the privilege of advancing their pet projects and impractical agendas without being bound by the laws of economics or morality.
• Their willing dupes in the electorate who clamor to the polling booths to vote for the candidate who offers the most delectable assortment of “free” benefits, unearned handouts, gratuitous entitlements and preferential regulation, believe they are entitled to whatever they can obtain through the manipulation of the whole process of institutionalized, legalized looting.
What all of these dimwits ignore, from the luxuriant offices of bank executives, to the subhuman squalor of welfare dependency; is that the whole house of cards is dependent upon one fragile keystone: the acquiescence and sanction of those who actually produce all the wealth they are stealing. While silence implies consent, this burden cannot be born much longer before the tolerant victims revoke it.
Under this conspiracy, resistance is the only option for honest people. Those with the knowledge of the crime are honor-bound to call the crime what it is; to denounce it in absolute terms; to refuse to submit to it; to destroy the means by which it is perpetrated and to bring the criminals to justice.
Today, America’s hope lies, neither in the hallowed halls of Congress, nor the palatial residence of the Chief Executive, nor the sacred chambers of the Supreme Court. All of these are corrupted beyond repair.
The only real hope for America resides in her people. The average, honest, hardworking, self-sufficient, compassionate, fair people of this once great land are the final defense and the last vestige of hope for the restoration of her dignity, justice, equality, prosperity and liberty.
If you are reading this, and you have the intelligence, the integrity and the honesty to admit its truth, YOU are the only hope America has. We are at the point where open, blatant resistance is the only thing that will dispel the illusion of implied consent. The “consent of the governed” must be revoked in undeniable terms.
If you await a savior to do it for you, like our parents, grandparents and great grandparents did, your children will likely be the first generation of Americans to live in an age of neo-barbarism. It is time to gird up our loins, muster our resolve and lay siege to the palisades of evil. In his play, “King Henry V,” William Shakespeare wrote the words that are appropriate to these times:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our...dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage...
It is time to put aside our gentleness and humility, and assume a countenance of ruthless justice. We must act to revoke our sanction while we have the means to do so. We must conquer evil with the pitiless vengeance it deserves. We must restore the truth of Thomas Jefferson’s words when he said, “When the government fears the people, you have liberty.” We must renew American Justice, confronting its enemies just as our founders stood against tyranny with confidence; born not of strength of arms, but the strength of moral conviction and their personal commitment to “Live free or die.”
