I said recently that the "softest landing" I could envisage for the now-insolvent United States would be the dissolution of its federal government. Indeed there have been surprising moves by numerous states to consider and even pass "sovereignty" resolutions such as NH HCR 6, fundamentally warning the US govt, a "creature of the states", to cease and desist unconstitutional practices, such as warrantless wire-tapping. While I have learned that HCR 6 has now failed to be enacted in New Hampshire, California and (9?) others may have actually succeeded in similar efforts. Nevertheless, these are purely symbolic moves and I cannot imagine Washington ever allowing such defiance to pass. Not without a bloody struggle…
But meanwhile, Ron Paul has introduced HR1207 and its companion in the Senate, S604. HR1207 requires the secretive Federal Reserve — a power unto itself, wielding public obligations denominated in trillions of dollars — to submit to government audit. HR1207 looks set to pass and attention is turning to the Senate.
Financial interests around the world have recognized that the United States is now bankrupt and the causes are rooted in its disastrous monetary policy. The party is over. If you don't believe the fight for control of US monetary policy has been going on since the American colonies rebelled from the European Money Powers, then heed:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
—Thomas Jefferson, 1802
Here are two videos that I find are totally germane to the situation in the US today. I regard them as "The Hobbit" and the "The Lord of The Rings" of US economic history. I recommend you view Money As Debt (The Hobbit) to whet your appetite and understanding and then the 3½-hour The Money Masters (The Lord Of The Rings), if you care to comprehend the history of the struggle that continues to this day in US politics.
The Constitution of the United States does not by itself guarantee the welfare of the American people, nor does the supremacy of the US government in the world. Indeed, one writer contributing to The Anti-Federalist Papers opined that — the best effort having been made by the founders of the Union to most carefully frame the Constitution to limit the powers of the federal government, and knowing all-too-much about the tyrannical history and policies of monarchs and other despots in old Europe — it would not be thirty years before the American people had to once again set right their own government by efforts signed with their own blood. (As best as I can recollect, having read it long ago when I first entered the United States as an idealistic and hopeful immigrant.)
Therefore, if you are an American citizen, please email your Senator, (or all of them!), and simply request him or her to support the passage of S604. Thank you!
