Harry Reid: Paying income tax in America is Voluntary

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid maintains that paying income tax is voluntary in the U.S.
He's obviously playing with words. But then again... he is a politician.
Exit Question: Is our tax system really a voluntary system or does the IRS rely on "voluntary compliance"?

U.S. Two States Away from Constitutional Convention

The American Policy Institute has issued an urgent alert stating that we are only two states away from a Constitutional Convention.

This political meeting is for the purpose of revising our exisitng constitution and probably to include amendments for the separation of church and state, the 'right' to abortion and euthanasia, and much more destructive laws, which would impact our way of life.

It's time to take action!

Republic vs. Democracy

There is a great deal of reference by the mass media and sadly, even by many of our elected officials to 'our democracy' or 'this democracy' when referring to our government. The Founding Fathers of our nation wisely established a Republic, not a Democracy, and there are many important differences.

The differences can be debated and argued in many ways but the best and simplest definition was printed in The Soldiers Training Manual issued by the United States War Department, November 30, 1928. These definitions were published by the authority of the United States Government and are accepted as authentic in any court of proper jurisdiction. These precise and scholarly definitions of a Democracy and a Republic were carefully considered as a proper guide for U.S. soldiers and U.S. citizens by the Chief of Staff of the United States Army.

Shortly after in the 1930's, orders from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration suddenly demanded that all copies of this book (Training Manual 2000-25) be withdrawn from the Government Printing Office and the Army posts, to be suppressed and destroyed without explanation.

Here are two definitions included in it:

TM 2000-25: 118-120
Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority is derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic, negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the people shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation, or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagoguery , license, agitation, discontent, and anarch.

TM 2000-25:120-121
Republic: Authority is derived through election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles, and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.

With this little look into the facts', re-read Romans 13 and you'll see the biggest problem in the minds of most Americans - believers and non-believers alike: The only authority above we, the people, is God. Beneath us is the Consitution which is to protect us from our public servants.

Many of F.D.R.'s policies were suggested by his right hand man, Harry Hopkins, who said,
"Tax and Tax, Spend and Spend, Elect and Elect, because the people are too damn dumb to know the difference".

Are we a Constitutional Republic or a Democracy?

By Walter Williams

We often hear the claim that our nation is a democracy. That wasn't the vision of the founders. They saw democracy as another form of tyranny. If we've become a democracy, I guarantee you that the founders would be deeply disappointed by our betrayal of their vision. The founders intended, and laid out the ground rules, for our nation to be a republic.

The word "democracy" appears nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution – two most fundamental documents of our nation. Instead of a democracy, the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4, guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Moreover, let's ask ourselves: Does our pledge of allegiance to the flag say to "the democracy for which it stands," or does it say to "the republic for which it stands"? Or do we sing "The Battle Hymn of the Democracy" or "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"?

So what's the difference between republican and democratic forms of government? John Adams captured the essence of the difference when he said, "You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe." Nothing in our Constitution suggests that government is a grantor of rights. Instead, government is a protector of rights.

In recognition that it's Congress that poses the greatest threat to our liberties, the framers used negative phrases against Congress throughout the Constitution such as: shall not abridge, infringe, deny, disparage, and shall not be violated, nor be denied. In a republican form of government, there is rule of law. All citizens, including government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government power is limited and decentralized through a system of checks and balances. Government intervenes in civil society to protect its citizens against force and fraud but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange.

Contrast the framers' vision of a republic with that of a democracy. In a democracy, the majority rules either directly or through its elected representatives. As in a monarchy, the law is whatever the government determines it to be. Laws do not represent reason. They represent power. The restraint is upon the individual instead of government. Unlike that envisioned under a republican form of government, rights are seen as privileges and permissions that are granted by government and can be rescinded by government.

How about a few quotations demonstrating the disdain our founders held for democracy?

• James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 10: In a pure democracy, "there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual."
  
• At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said, " ... that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy."
  
• John Adams said, "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
  
• Chief Justice John Marshall observed, "Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos."

In a word or two, the founders knew that a democracy would lead to the same kind of tyranny the colonies suffered under King George III.

The framers gave us a Constitution that is replete with undemocratic mechanisms. One that has come in for recent criticism and calls for its elimination is the Electoral College. In their wisdom, the framers gave us the Electoral College so that in

presidential elections large, heavily populated states couldn't democratically run roughshod over small, sparsely populated states.

Here's my question: Do Americans share the republican values laid out by our founders, and is it simply a matter of our being unschooled about the differences between a republic and a democracy? Or is it a matter of preference and we now want the kind of tyranny feared by the founders where Congress can do anything it can muster a majority vote to do? I fear it's the latter.

The 4 stages of Ideological Subversion

1985 Video Presentation of Marxist Ideological Subversion in U.S. (video embed–very interesting)

The interviewee is Mr. Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent who has an insiders knowledge of the manner in which Marxist/Communist/Socialist ideology is established in a country–that is, by slowly deconstructing values, creating crises, both financial and social, and propagandizing an unsuspecting public.

Ideological Subversion (a.k.a. active measures, or psychological warfare) is a slow and progressive brainwashing process, which can be divided in 4 stages:

Stage 1 — Demoralization:
It takes 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing. Even if that person is showered with information and authentic proof, he or she will refuse to beleive it. Not until the military boot comes crashing in, the person will then understand.

Stage 2 — Destabilization:
It takes 2 to 5 years to destabilize a nation. What matters most is the economy, foreign relations & defense systems.

Stage 3 — Crisis:
It may take only up to 6 weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. And after crisis, with a violent change of power, structure and economy, you would have a so-called period of normalization. It may last indefinitely.

Stage 4 — Normalization:
Normalization is a cynical expression, borrowed from Soviet propaganda. To promise people all kinds of goodies and a paradise on Earth, to destabilize the economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition and to put a Big Brother government in Washington DC with benevolent dictators who will promise lots of things, never mind whether the promises are fulfilled or not.
The creation of false illusions that the situation is under control where most of American politicians, media, and the educational system would train another generation of people to think that they are living in a time of peace. But on the contrary, we would be in a state of war. Undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system.

Recommendation to the American people:

• There must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism.
• Teach the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government.
• If people fail to grasp the impending danger; nothing will ever help the United States.
• We may kiss our freedoms goodbye, including our precious lives.
• At the moment, at least part of the U.S. population is convinced that the danger is real.
• We have to FORCE our government, not by sending letters, or signing petitions, or all other so-called noble activity, but by FORCING the U.S. government to stop aiding Communism.
