I Am So Weary
As of late I have felt an overwhelming sense of weariness. Even after a good nights sleep I awake feeling drained, as though all the life force has been sucked right out of me.
Part of the problem is that during the winter months I get somewhat depressed as I am a warm weather person. I remember times when, as a military contractor, I would get sent to the middle east. While most people stayed inside nice cozy air conditioned trailers, I would sit outside in the 120 degree sun just soaking up the rays. The heat from a hot summer day does something to energize and revitalize me, and during the winter months I lose that feeling of vitality.
However, there is more to it than just the cold dreary weather getting me down. Imagine for a moment someone you loved was diagnosed with an incurable terminal illness. Think about how painful, and depressing it would be as you watched this person whither away, knowing there was nothing you could do to stop it.
That is similar to how I feel, but it is not a person who is dying, it is my country, and I feel powerless to stop it. I have been told I am anal retentive because I constantly write about the same subject matter over and over again. But didn’t George W. Bush say that you have to keep repeating things for “…the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
I have to keep repeating myself because people just don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the subject matter I discuss. What bothers me the most is the depth of the apathy of the people I come into contact with on a daily basis.
It would be impossible for me to meet every single person in this country, so when I say that the people of this country are apathetic, and to a certain extent, ignorant, I am basing those comments the attitudes of the people I do come into contact with.
It is sort of like my own localized poll which gives me a overall idea of how the rest of the country feels regarding the issues I discuss. I know that it isn’t scientific, and probably isn’t very accurate either, yet the attitudes and opinions of those I do speak to on a daily basis is discomforting.
Even among those who read my articles there are those who remain unconvinced that the actions of their government are detrimental to their rights and their liberty. It seems almost as if the people who read my articles consider them works of fiction, without any basis in reality.
Can people really be too lazy, or preoccupied with whatever it is they do in their spare time, to take the time to do research about the damage their government is doing to their rights?
People care more about whether they will get laid this weekend, the outcome of their kids soccer match, what is on sale at the mall, or whether their favorite football team is going to win next Sunday.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how these things can be of such great importance that they would ignore the fact that their very freedom is slowly being taken from them by those who have sworn an oath to safeguard it. What I find even more astounding is that people actually support the actions of their government concerning these infringements of their rights. They believe their government when they are told it is necessary for their safety and security.
Daniel Webster once said, “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.”
Yet people still believe that the sole purpose of government is to do things to make their lives easier, safer, and more comfortable. It is a commonly held belief that people are entitled to a safe comfortable life, and if they cannot provide for it themselves then it is the job of the government to provide it for them.
It matters little to people that our government does not produce anything. Everything our government does comes at the expense of the taxpayer. Every project they fund, every subsidy they provide is paid for by someone whose wealth is confiscated to provide for those who are less fortunate, or too damn lazy to obtain it themselves.
That is plunder, pure and simple. Frederic Bastiat once said, “But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to the other persons to whom it doesn’t belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.” Bastiat also said that when such laws are found, they should be abolished without delay.
For instance, this whole belief that the government has the power to mandate that people purchase some form of health insurance, or that the government itself can provide it for them, is a huge assumption of power and authority nowhere to be found in the Constitution.
People are crying out for health insurance, but they refuse to take responsibility for their own health. They feed themselves junk, swill beer and sodas, smoke cigarettes, and sit on their asses watching television. Does that sound like people care about their health to you? No, they only want someone to fix the problems they themselves create.
Maybe that is why people don’t care if their freedom is being taken from them. Maybe it is because along with freedom comes the responsibility of accepting the consequences of their actions. Far too many people want all sort of benefits without the hassle of having to earn them themselves.
I see this daily at work, people clock in and think that their very presence is enough to earn them a pay check. Heaven forbid they be expected to do anything that would cause them to break a sweat. Just today I saw someone ask someone else to go get a box from a pallet because they were too damn lazy to get their fat ass off a stool and take two steps to get it themselves. I have nothing but contempt for people like that. It is people like that who think that the government, and society in general owe them something, that they are entitled to these benefits and subsidies.
Along the same lines, the same applies to watching over the actions of their government. They want someone else, someone like me, to do it for them. They claim not to have the time, when in reality they just don‘t have the inclination to do it themselves. Yet Thomas Paine once said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”
So, you can see how I might feel a bit stressed that I cannot get people to see the damage their government is doing to their liberty. But the issues I discuss are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
I am certain that many would like to see me placed into a padded cell if I dare discuss what is really going on in this country. If people cannot see the truth about something as simple as the infringement of their rights, how are they going to believe the extent of the conspiracy our elected representatives are participating in?
As former director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover once said, “The individual is handicapped by coming fact to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”
People, for the most part, still believe that it is the government which runs this country. That has not been true for a very long time. Those people we call our elected representatives are simply puppets to those who own and control them. Yet whenever someone brings this subject up, they are immediately dismissed as some sort of kook, a believer of far-fetched conspiracies.
However, former New York Mayor John Hylan understood the truth, and he explained it in no uncertain terms, “The Real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state, and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen. At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.”
This invisible government is comprised of the wealthiest of the wealthy. They sit atop fortunes that dwarf that of people like Bill Gates, and their desire is for world dominion.
One of these, James Paul Warburg, once said, “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”
For these people, taking control of nations is nothing more than a hostile takeover on a global scale. They can do this because they control the money in this country. Mayer Rothschild, of the Rothschild banking dynasty is quoted as saying, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.”
Josiah Stamp, former President of the Bank of England also stated, “Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back.”
Our Congress, back in 1913, gave away it’s right to coin our nation’s currency. They gave that right to a group of these bankers when they passed the Federal Reserve Act, creating the Federal Reserve Bank.
H. L. Birum once explained exactly what the Federal Reserve Bank is, “The Federal Reserve Bank is nothing but a banking fraud and an unlawful crime against civilization. Why? Because they “create” the money made out of nothing, and our Uncle Sap Government issues their “Federal Reserve Notes” and stamps our Government approval with NO obligation whatever from these Federal Reserve Banks, Individual Banks or National Banks, etc.”
The first step was to give these international bankers control of our money supply. The next step was to severe the ties that money held to anything substantial, such as gold.
Even former FED Chairman, Alan Greenspan admitted that by saying, “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. … This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process.”
You might ask, why does our government put up with this? It is simple. When our government only had the money it took in from taxes to fund its operations it was limited in what they could do because of financial constraints. They allowed it to happen because now they have the FED, which is more than willing to loan them billions of dollars to fund their operations.
What people don’t realize is that the payment for this debt, that is incurred by their government to fund all these programs, is the responsibility of the people of this country. Your Congressman, your Senator, and past and present Presidents are not the ones who are liable for the current $12 trillion national debt, you are.
These banking interests have created organizations whose job it is to ensure their plan for global domination move forward. One of these organizations is the Trilateral Commission. Barry Goldwater told us just what their function was to be, “The Trilateralist Commission is international…(and)…is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States.”
I am guessing that by now, many are thinking I have lost my marbles, that I am certifiably insane. I am sure you are thinking that if all this is true, why haven’t we heard about it on the news? It is because these people own the media as well.
On February 9, 1917, Congressman Oscar Calloway made the following statement, which is recorded in the Congressional Record, “In March 1915 the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary organizations got together twelve men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States. These twelve men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of twenty-five of the greatest newspapers. The twenty-five papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.”
In fact, David Rockefeller gave praise to the media at a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations, “We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
This conspiracy, and that is exactly what it is, has been in progress for a long time. Even former President Franklin Roosevelt knew it because he said, “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as the last truly honorable and incorruptible American president.”
Still you ask, why haven’t you heard about all this? Playwright Arthur S. Miller knew why, “Those who formally rule take their signals and commands not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men. This group will be called the Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied. It is one of the secrets of the American social order… A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed.”
I can just picture people sitting there, shaking their heads in disbelief after reading the preceding information. Yet the information is there, quote after quote, verifying everything I have said. And still I have barely begun to cover the monstrosity of this conspiracy against our rights, our liberty, and our nation’s very sovereignty. If I can’t get people to accept that the simplest acts of their government are unconstitutional, how do you expect me to get them to believe all this? But at least now you know why I feel so weary. I see what is in the works, and I am powerless to stop it. How would you feel if you were in my position?
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says “OH SHIT!!…. HE’S AWAKE!!“
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?“
