The Constitution of We The People
Ok this is my first official blog. I am writing with the intention of having other people know something that I feel is somewhat important, and, once that information is available and familiar to people, having that information MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I shall use this forum as an avenue to express myself. What I forsee as typical topics would be politics, society, culture, fashion, fads, what have you, usually my commentary will be on what I percieve from all of the sensory overloading media outlets and observations from my own eyes on the Human Condition...I hope, I sincerely hope, no, I AUTHENTICALLY HOPE I can make a difference for the many...
Isnt it ironic how our society, once the cutting edge of everything, is not conducive to innovation, or progress in general? I remember how proud I was to be an American when I was young. Back in the day, when I was a young boy growing up in Long Island, New York, I remember with great clarity all that the schools taught me about the Original Thirteen Colonies and The Founding Fathers. They taught me ideals mostly, how they gave up so much for the greater good, the common cause. I know now that the history taught is a bit biased, it is slanted a little bit to make the F.F.'s look even greater than they actually were, but I still have this picture of Great Statesmen in my mind. I suppose that the truth is more like the simple picture I have in my mind, information assimilated by a child. These guys knew they had an opportunity to mold the greatest society Man has ever seen. They made a grand attempt, they even projected into the future and set checks and balances into the original documents that outlined how this great new society should be conducted. It didnt take long for the money changers to assert influence upon any and all who could not or would not resist the temptations to undermine the new country's government. Even before the infantile United States had concluded its Revolutionary War, it was in debt to the Central Banks. You see, the Constitution of The United States talks specifically about money and who gets to produce currency for all of us to use, among a great many other things that affect our daily lives.
What seems to be accepted as The Constitution today is far from what the Founding Fathers had envisioned for us. Let's take a quick look at the opening paragrapoh called The Preamble...
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Every elected official and apponted office holder employed by the government of the US takes an oath swearing to uphold The Constitution of The United States of America. On Inauguration Day the President and Vice President take that oath...Lets look at G.W.Bush and Dick Cheney and the state of the union during their tenure in office in which they swore to uphold the Constitution.
Establish Justice...hmmm...I need a definition here...
JUSTICE: 1c the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity, 2 a: the quality of being just, impartial, or fair b (1): the principle or ideal of just dealing or right action (2): conformity to this principle or ideal : righteousness c: the quality of conforming to law3: conformity to truth, fact, or reason : correctness
To me Justice means something about all people being treated fairly and considered as equal in the eyes of the Law, and Law Enforcement. Justice means that all people have the same clean slate and are innocent until proven guilty by a preponderance of the evidence used against them in court procedings, not speculation in the words of a newspaper...nor should people of color be "profiled" by law enforcement agencies...
I think Justice also means that EVERYONE is to abide by the SAME Laws that rule the country, not there should be an entirely different set of Laws, or that the Law of the Land should not apply, to the President and his "Boys". In my opinion, when the President says to Congress," I am above the Law", Congress and The Judicial Branch of Government have a responsibility to the People to remove the megalomaniac from office. I understand the position of the Pres, and I also understand Executive Priviledge, but there should be at least one or many oversight committies that he has to answer to. No Rogue Presidents!!!
Next in the Constitution, is "insure domestic tranquility"...I dont know exactly who is reading this or what your views are, your political affiliations, or loyalties, but I have done extensive research on the whole 9-11-2001 event, and there are many many unanswered questions and even more questions that have been answered with pure bullshit from the Bush Government. In short the Official Story does not add up. The totals are false. I dont wish to get into specifics just yet, but in this man's opinion, neither Bush nor Cheney did their part to help insure domestic tranquility. I could most likely expound on this in almost every single point in Bush's current governing policy, but I just mean letting the attacks happen, if they werent actually INVOLVED in the attacks in some way, which is what I think...We dont even need to talk about Hurricane Katrina, and the illegal wars since 9-11, the torture of detainees, the illegal domestic surveillence, the illegal Executive Orders, the illegal accords signed with foriegn governments...the list literally goes on and on...
"provide for the common defense" yeah at the expense of all social programs that benefit the common man...the government agencies both Constitutional and illegal that exist to part the average US Citizen with his or her hard earned cash, seem to never need for resources. When was the last time the IRS needed more money to confiscate someones property, or take them to Court for Tax Evasion. Evading paying taxes on your income, which according to the Constitution is not taxable. I SAID, 'WHICH ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION, IS NOT TAXABLE'!!! The Constitution defines income as "revenue derived from corporate activity", so, unless you have incorporated yourself, and if you arent worth in excess of $1,000,000 there really is no need to do so. Even if you own an incorporated business, you get paid a salary or a wage, your "income' still should not be taxed, but the corporation should be. Your wages are not income according to the Founding Fathers.
"promote the general welfare", LMFAO. OK here is why there is no promotion of general welfare in the USA...Privatized Healthcare. As long as the HMO's, Pharma Corps, and Insurance companies are in the busuness to make money for their stockholders and not in the business of saving every life thay can and making existence more comfortable and enjoyable for all afflicted with "whatever ails them" there shall be no general welfare, period. Healthcare should be about The Hippocratic Oath, not the bottom line...
'secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves', yeah, right! As I see it, when the President announces a new "War on _ _ _ _" as in the War on Terrorism, there will be no end to it, and whatever progress or regress is whatever he (the bullshitter, I mean The Presidents spin doctor) wishes to tell us it is. Usually if there is any progress, its because they are trying to boost the approval ratings for elections or to get support for yet another bullshit 'War on _ _ _ _" If there is regress, it's so the Pres or whoever is Czar of that particular War on _ _ _ _, can request more money or other resources. Either way the end result seems to always be We the People giving up some convieniences or priviledges. Rarely in this context are they referred to as Rights. Which is what they really are.
"and our posterity", Our posterity went out the proverbial window when the Federal Reserve Act was put into place. I say put into place, because The Federal Reserve Act was NEVER PROPERLY RATIFIED! I have no idea why there is assent to allow the Federal Reserve Bank a PRIVATELY HELD BANK, not under control of the Government of The USA, to have total control of production and distribution of our currency!!! When we have resessions and people lose houses, cars, cant get out of debt, that benefits the owners of the Federal Reserve! So do the Wars we are fighting. Bush finances the War efforts with money the Government borrows from the Federal Reserve! The security on the loans are the TAXATION of We The People!!! Once upon a time our Founding Fathers dressed up as Indians and went on the War Path and dumped all of the King's Tea into Boston Harbor, why did they do this? They were protesting that the King of England had put a hefty tax on the tea he shipped to the Colonies. Taxation Without Representaion! was the battle-cry. Before the Federal Reserve Act, Congress had to ask We The People to borrow money, and that was agaisnt gold reserves, and if We The People did not approve the request, Congress had to wait to ask again, or forget it. With the Federal Reserve Act, Congress only has to vote amongst themselves to borrow money and as I stated, the security is We The People being taxed without our approval. In fact since The Fed Res Act, Congress doesnt seem to give much of a shit about We The People's approval, or rather our DISAPPROVAL...
That was just my take on The Constitution, and the rather large amount of disrespect and indifference it seems to get from the very people who have taken a binding oath to uphold its Values, Standards, Laws, and its Ideals. What it means, what it stands for should never be diluted, exceptions should not be made. The Constitution in it's original context is not outdated. It is not contextually obsolete. It is the perfect guide to running a Republic. That is what we once had, A Republic, a government that existed for The People.
REPUBLIC: (2): a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government b (1): a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them (the body of citizens) and governing according to law (2): a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government c: a usually specified republican government of a political unit i.e: the French Fourth Republic
Im not too sure exactly when the Government stopped serving We The People, and placed We The People into servitude, but thats where we are now....I think that will be the next blog's topic, How We The People are in Servitude to The Government and The Ruling Class...But how do you like being a slave? I am serious, SO SERIOUS. If you wish to respond to this blog with a comment or opinion, please tell mne your feelings on being a slave to the system.
