We Are The History Makers

Amidst the tragic occurrences taking place during the economic and political turmoil of our present day, there are sources of inspiration to be found. They’re not found in the hollow rhetoric that we hear daily from our national leaders calling for “change” and counterfeit government sponsored movements. Instead, look to your ancestry, the struggles they overcame, realize that we can make a difference, and re-discover what truly matters.



The level of awareness among the general population of Constitutional law and civil liberties made a lasting impact on Tocqueville.

We face a time of great trial, but also a time of great opportunity in our personal lives and as a nation. Hard times present us with an opportunity for introspection, both individually and collectively. We have the opportunity to re-discover the America that our ancestors knew and work to bring it back. John Taylor Gatto, writing in his recently released book, Weapons of Mass Instruction, describes the character that attracted freedom-seeking people the world over to America. Gatto describes the original American dream, contrary to the modern concept,
“Colonial and early federal America held the idea of self-sufficiency as the very pinnacle of achievement. The ideal household aimed to produce its own food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, transportation, medical care, education, child care, and social security. A large fraction of the population never got there, but as a City on the Hill to strive for it was an ennobling vision which some families, especially on the frontier, succeeded in making happen. It was this idea of being personally empowered, in contrast to the servile states of Europe and Asia, which acted as a magnet for the world’s peoples - not the prospect of two cars, a house in the suburbs, and the latest computer junk.”
Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) was a French Historian and political thinker. His seminal 1835 book, Democracy in America is an important book that can be used as a guide to measure change that has taken place since its writing. When reading through this book it is difficult not to see parallels between American society in the 1800’s and the America of today. However, there are glaring differences as well. The level of awareness among the general population of Constitutional law and civil liberties made a lasting impact on Tocqueville,
“Nothing makes me admire the common sense and practical intelligence of the Americans more than the way in which they avoid the countless difficulties arising from their federal constitution. Seldom have I met an ordinary American who could not distinguish with surprising ease between obligations stemming from laws passed by Congress and obligations originating in the laws of his state…”

Increasing federal government intervention in states affairs is re-kindling the independent spirit and vigor of early America. As of February, 20 states have introduced resolutions to re-affirm state sovereignty and rebuke over extension of federal government power. The truth is that we can make a difference. We’ve been conditioned to place our personal identity and power in our national leaders - and in turn personalizing any attacks placed upon them - but historically, it is the people that have the true power and moral authority. Too many of us have been conditioned to believe that ordinary people are secondary to the important people of society, taking a back seat as opposed to making history. Good people need to be engaged, because as Tocqueville observed even in early America, political careers did not (though there were and are exceptions) tend to attract distinguished men and women.
“While the natural instincts of democracy lead the people to banish distinguished men from power, an instinct no less powerful leads distinguished men to shun careers in politics, in which it is so very difficult to remain entirely true to oneself or to advance without self-abasement.”
In the words of Edmund Burke, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one…” If everyone bought into the idea that one person couldn’t effect change, there would be no history to speak of. The actions of individuals, whether good or bad, have steered the ebb and flow of history since the beginning of time. This present time is no different. Let’s not forget that our time on earth is finite, and that we all serve a purpose. We need to have respect for ourselves, an appreciation of what our ancestors fought for, and a realization that we too have a place in history, as our posterity does in the future. As Tocqueville found in his studies of human history and governance, rulers have always sought to repress the human spirit that threatens their domination. He writes,
“He [The sovereign] does not break men’s wills but softens, bends, and guides them. He seldom forces anyone to act but consistently opposes action. He does not destroy things but prevents them from coming into being. Rather than tyrannize, he inhibits, represses, saps, stifles, and stultifies, and in the end he reduces each nation to nothing but a flock of timid and industrious animals, with the government as its shepherd.”
Out of the hard times that we face, let this be a new time of engagement and re-discovery of history, freedom and individual power.

U.S. Officials Admitted that Boys Were Sodomized In Iraq Prison

Washington’s Blog
May 21, 20099
Many people have heard Pulitzer prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh’s claim that boys were sodomized at Abu Ghraib and that the Pentagon has video of the rapes.
Many people think that they’ll believe it when and if they ever see the video. But we don’t need to wait for the military to release the videos. There is already proof that Hersh is right.
For example, the Guardian wrote in 2004:
The October 12 memorandum, reported in the Washington Post…came to light as more details emerged of the extent of detainee abuse. Formal statements by inmates published yesterday describe horrific treatment at the hands of guards, including the rape of a teenage Iraqi boy by an army translator…
According to the leaked memorandum … it also called for military intelligence officials to work more closely with the military police guards at the prison to “manipulate an internee’s emotions and weaknesses”…
In the Washington Post report, one detainee, Kasim Hilas, describes the rape of an Iraqi boy by a man in uniform, whose name has been blacked out of the statement, but who appears to be a translator working for the army.
“I saw [name blacked out] fucking a kid, his age would be about 15-18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard the screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasn’t covered and I saw [blacked out], who was wearing the military uniform putting his dick in the little kid’s ass,” Mr Hilas told military investigators. “I couldn’t see the face of the kid because his face wasn’t in front of the door. And the female soldier was taking pictures.”
It is not clear from the testimony whether the rapist described by Mr Hilas was working for a private contractor or was a US soldier…
Another inmate, Thaar Dawod, describes more abuse of teenage Iraqis. “They came with two boys naked and they were cuffed together face to face and Grainer [Corporal Charles Graner, one of the military policemen facing court martial] was beating them and a group of guards were watching and taking pictures from top and bottom and there was three female soldiers laughing at the prisoners,” he said.
More convincingly, the Telegraph wrote in 2004:
America was braced last night for new allegations of torture in Iraq after military officials said that photographs apparently showing US soldiers beating an Iraqi prisoner nearly to death and having sex with a female PoW were about to be released.
The officials told the US television network NBC that other images showed soldiers “acting inappropriately with a dead body”. A videotape, apparently made by US personnel, is said to show Iraqi guards raping young boys.
(If that link becomes broken, see this).
There you have it: the Telegraph implied in 2004 that U.S. officials admitted that there was a video of guards raping boys. Even if the Telegraph’s implication is wrong, there is strong evidence that such rapes did in fact occur as Hersh said.
And whether or not any of the rapists were U.S. soldiers or contractors, at the very least, American soldiers aided and abetted the rape by standing around and taking videos and photographs.
Whether or not Obama releases the photographic evidence, he must prosecute all of those who committed such atrocities, stood around and watched, ordered them to be committed, or created an environment in which they could occur.

Obama’s Health Care Fascism

Posted by sakerfa on May 19, 2009

In October 1939, Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler issued an order, written in his own hand, ordering the extermination of those who were considered “unworthy of life.” The order, entitled “The Destruction of Lives Unworthy of Life,” stated that patients “considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, be accorded a mercy death.”Hitler’s murder spree started with the mentally ill, the terminally ill, invalids, and the disabled, and eventually spread to millions of Jews, Gypsies, and other “undesirables”—worked to death or exterminated in concentration camps.
This monstrous program was initially sold as an economic measure: “The economic burden represented by people suffering from hereditary diseases is a danger for the State and society,” Nazi Dr. Gerhard Wagner said at the Nazi party congress in 1934. The Nazis required all state institutions to report on patients who were chronically ill, and used those reports as the basis to decide which patients should be killed.
Today, the Obama Administration is beginning to descend down that same road, promising to make the “tough choices” to cut entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security to save money—at precisely the time in which an increasing number of Americans are forced to depend on them as the economy slides deeper into Depression. Obama is willing to spend trillions of dollars to bail out the financial markets, and pay for it by slashing programs which keep ordinary Americans alive.
Think we’re exaggerating? Take the case of a paper entitled “What Are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?” It sounds like something that might have been written by Jeremy Bentham, or Aldous Huxley, or maybe Nazi doctor Karl Brandt, but it was actually co-authored in 1998 by “bio-ethicist” Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a leading advisor to Obama’s budget director Peter Orszag, and a member of the 15-person Federal Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, the group which has been designated to prepare the list of which medical procedures will henceforth be permitted, and which will not. Emanuel’s co-author, Margaret Battin, has written other papers promoting suicide and selective refusal of medical treatment. The pair are really just echoing Karl Brandt’s defense of euthanasia at Nuremberg: “Death can mean deliverance. Death is life—just as much as birth. It was never meant to be murder.” But it was.
“The Hitler program has been revived by the Obama Administration,” warned Lyndon LaRouche. “This is straight Nazi stuff. It’s not a quibble; it’s not an interpretation. This is a direct copy of the philosophy of the Nazis. You cannot duck that issue. This is Nazi stuff, and it’s explicit. We know all this stuff from Hermann Goering and so forth in the 1920s, and after that with their international connections, like certain Wall Street firms. We have been warned, and we act accordingly. People who condone this are criminals, because they either knew, or should have known, what they are doing. They either knew, or should have known.”
“This is mass murder,” LaRouche said. “Obama has adopted Hitler’s program. There is no reason to hold one’s tongue. When the President of the United States has adopted Hitler’s program, that’s the time to unleash. This is exactly what I warned about on April 11th in my webcast. Obama has a Nero complex. Obama is the new Nero. This is exactly what is happening. This is Hitler’s policy now being echoed by Obama. Let’s not allow any compromise. You have to attack this directly. He has adopted Hitler’s genocidal health policy.”
Outlaw the HMOs
One instrumentality of this Nazi policy is the health insurance sector, led by the pharmaceutical companies and the Health Maintenance Organization companies. HMOs, which were started during the Nixon Administration, are the health-care equivalent of an Enron, a vehicle inserting a financial middleman between doctor and patient, for the purposes of jacking up the costs while reducing the quality of health-care delivered. The main role of the HMO sector is to break the control of doctors over health care, and transfer control to corporate cartels.
HMOs make their profits by siphoning off some of the cash flow intended for treatment of patients, and thus reducing the amount of money available for health care. The more they cut the care, the more left for them. But the money is only part of it. The real goal of this health system is to increase the death rate by depriving citizens of proper health care measures. Ultimately, the HMOs are part of the Anglo-Dutch financial empire’s genocide machine.
The first step in restoring proper health care in this nation is to repeal the law which allowed HMOs to be created. Only after that, can the solutions be implemented. “Don’t accept any discussion or dialogue on Social Security and such issues,” LaRouche advised. “First we have to reduce the costly mismanagement of health care by these insurance companies, by eliminating the HMOs. This will eliminate the biggest factor of waste in the health care system. The HMOs just took over and replaced Hill-Burton. There’s no way of compromising on that; you have to be absolutely ruthless. The HMO is a parasite; there’s no question about it. This is all criminal, and we have to deal with it as a crime.
“Either we get these guys out now, or there’s no chance: mass death occurs,” LaRouche continued. “That’s what happened with Hitler. There were Jewish communities that also said: ‘Look, don’t fight it; it will go away.’ It’s the same thing today.”
That view also applies to the menagerie of fascist “behavioral economists” surrounding Obama, LaRouche said. “These guys have to go. Because either these guys are going to go, or the President is going to go. And the President has to think through that choice, because the American people are not going to put up with this crap. These guys are going to find that the American people are going to say to the President: ‘You get rid of these guys, or we get rid of you.’”
Imperial Fascism
This open push for Nazi-style fascism should not be a surprise, since the Nazis and the other fascist movements of the 1920s and 1930s were created by the financiers of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal empire for the express purpose of breaking the power of the nation-states, and taking the world back to a modernized variation of medieval feudalism. Though the fascist movements suffered defeat in World War II (thanks largely to FDR and America’s industrial might), the financier interests behind Hitler and Mussolini remain, and, as the current bailout travesty shows, they still hold enormous power.
Under Obama, just as under Bush, the government is spending huge amounts of money to try to save the values of the fictitious assets which dominate the global financial system. So far, some $13 trillion has been given, lent, promised, or guaranteed, in what has been repeatedly shown to be an open-ended process. Despite the Federal government’s budget deficit, the money keeps on flowing, ever faster.
When it comes to the welfare of the population, however, the tune changes dramatically, to “cut, cut, cut.” We’re going to have to slash Social Security, slash Medicare, slash all sorts of other spending to bring our budget under control, we are told. Money for the bailout, money for the wars, but nothing for the people—who are the nation.
This is pure fascism. We are headed down the road to Hell, led by a Pied Piper of a President who, whatever he may think, will destroy us all unless we force him to change course.

Obama’s “United Fascist States of America”

Posted by sakerfa on May 18, 2009

If Adolph Hitler was elected President of the United States and the Nazi Party took control of the US Congress the Nazis would bring CHANGE, right? What would Hitler and the Nazi Party do if they came to power in America?

1) Hitler and the Nazis would immediately take away Americans right to bear arms.

2) Hitler and the Nazis would shut down free speech and silence conservative talk radio.

3) Hitler would establish an armed militia like the ”Brown Shirts” independent of the U.S. Armed Forces loyal solely to him.

4) Hitler would set up a mandatory youth group for indoctrination — “The Hitler youth.”

5) Hitler would take over and nationalize any U.S. companies he wanted to.

6) Hitler would eliminate any and all opposition political parties.

7) Hitler would replace the American flag and would CHANGE traditional American symbols with the swastika.

You want to see scary? What do Obama and the Democrats want to do?

1) Take away Americans’ Constitutional rights to bear arms.

2) Shut down conservative talk radio with the “Fairness Doctrine.”

3) Obama’s Storm Troopers: In a speech on 7/02/08 in Colorado Springs Obama said, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a ‘Civilian National Security Force’ that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” What???A national civilian security force as powerful and well funded as the US Army, air Force, Navy and Marines? Obama’s CNSF sure sounds like Hitler’s Brown shirts to me.

4) Obama wants to create a mandatory Youth Organization that would make compulsory public service requirements for all American youth, fulfilling a campaign promise. The bill, HR 1388: The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, otherwise known as the “GIVE Act.”

5) Obama wants to nationalize and seize US companies at will. Benyahim Applebaum of the Washington Post writes:

“The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document.”
6) Obama wants to marginalize and silence all conservative voices, destroy the Republican Party and turn America a one party nation by giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and by census bureau manipulation.
7) Obama took the American flag OFF his campaign jet and replaced the US flag with his own New Age Obama cult symbol.

Feels like you’re in Nazi Germany in 1933, doesn’t it? Welcome to Obama’s: “United Fascist States of America.”

The Cult like, fanatical Obama supporters worshipping in a delirious frenzy!

In comparison to Obama’s followers, Hitler’s Nazi supporters seem subdued, much more composed and a little less fanatical than Obamamaniacs. Nazis are definitely not quite as scary looking as the Obamanites, are they?

Does Obama, like Adolph Hitler suffer from (NPD) Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Is the person with his finger on the button functionally insane?

Israeli psychologist Dr. Sam Vaknin, the world’s leading expert on narcissism and the author of the “Malignant Self Love,” has written, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”

“Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana.

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke.

Obama’s Hate America Tour:

Obama, went to Germany (the nation of the Holocaust) and apologized to Germans (the Nazis) for America’s imperfections. Obama traveled to France and apologized to the French (the snobbiest people on earth) for American arrogance. In Turkey, on Holy Week, Obama kowtowed to Islam and tried to ingratiate himself with Muslims by denying American heritage. In yet one more example of Obama’s betrayal of our nation, Obama spinelessly, like the worm that he is, said to the Ottomans, “America is not a Christian nation.” His wife would not courtesy before her Royal Highness Elizabeth, the Christian Queen of England but Obama bowed and genuflected before the Saudi Muslim king.

Obama is a disgrace to our great nation and our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves!

Barack Obama is not a black gentleman like Bill Cosby.

Obama is low rent and ghetto!

"Yo Queenie how’d you like that iPod I gotya?”

“How about those 25 DVD’s I gave your Prime Minister?”

Obama lacks personal dignity. He is being mocked and ridiculed by world leaders like Chavez and Noriega. Obama does not belong in the White House and he has got go!

Obama’s Racism and Anti-Americanism

The future of the United States and America’s national survival are dependant upon Obama’s immediate removal from the Oval office. Obama will destroy America if given four years in the White House; and the destruction of America may be Obama’s either conscious or subconscious desire. In his recent speeches abroad, Obama has revealed his thinly disguised loathing and uncovered his lightly veiled antipathy for America. Obama is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an anti-white racist. In his book “Dreams from My Father” on page 145 Obama exposes his intense animosity and deep seated hatred for white people. Obama’s blatant racism is communicated by him on page 145 where he recalls a visit to a museum in Chicago. In the museum Obama recollects his feelings upon seeing a display of the shrunken heads of white people.” Obama’s disturbing words expressing his demented feelings are frightening and his admission sounds more like the confession of a twisted psychopath rather than that of a head of state. Obama in recalling his experience writes: “At the Field Museum. I saw two shrunken heads that were on display….They appeared to be European extraction. The man had a small goatee, like a conquistador; the woman had flowing red hair. I stared at them for a long time (until my mother pulled me away), feeling – with the MORBID GLEE of a young boy—as if I stumbled across some sort of cosmic joke.” Seeing the shrunken heads of dead white people gives Barack Obama “morbid glee.” No sane person can deny Obama’s thoughts are deranged and clearly come from a man who is emotionally unstable. Hearing Obama’s sick words you might think they came from the mouth of a psychopath like Jeffrey Dahlmer.


Above is a picture of the shrunken head of a white person. This is what gave Barrack Obama a feeling of, “morbid glee.” And this mental case Obama is in the White House. Barack Obama is a radical Black militant who has “suppressed black rage.” He has channeled his anger and hatred of white people into politics. Obama’s ascension to the Presidency is his way of conquering what he hates, America – and those whom he loathes and despises, white ethnic Americans.


Question: Can you imagine the outcry from the Left if George W. Bush ever wrote in a book that he saw the shrunken heads of black people and the sight of dead black people gave him, “morbid glee?” Liberals would hang Bush.


Congress Uphold the US Constitution


If Obama cannot produce his US birth certificate proving that he is a natural born American citizen, his Presidency is unconstitutional and he is in the White House illegally. America is a nation of laws and the US Congress is ethically and morally obliged to enforce the laws of our land. Bound by oath, Congressional leaders have been entrusted by the people with a sacred obligation. This sacred obligation now imposes upon Congress a mandate that requires them at this vital and crucial moment in American history to act without hesitation, swiftly, boldly and decisively. We the people, petition Congress to ensure that our US Constitution is upheld and to immediately, without further delay move with powerful and irresistible FORCE to order Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate. No one in this country is above the law. The “United States Justice Foundation” has charged that Obama did knowingly commit perjury when he filed his nomination papers. Thus, Obama has opened himself to criminal charges. Obama could very possibly be going from the White House to the jailhouse! END


Taking Action: I have written a couple of highly explosive commercials calling on Obama to produce his birth certificate. These ads will ignite a firestorm of protest and spark a national outcry from outraged and infuriated patriotic Americans demanding that Obama complies with our US Constitution. If you are as horrified by the catastrophic and fatal direction Obama is taking our nation, I invite you to join me in getting these commercials broadcast across the USA. America will not survive four years of Obama.

Police: Man said 30,000 bullets were for target practice He is held on $500,000 bail

By Paul Tennant
ptennant@eagletribune.com

HAVERHILL — Keni Garcia told police he intended to use the 30,000 bullets they found in his car and home for target practice.

That is hard to believe, the prosecutor at Garcia's arraignment said, because if he were to fire a gun for eight hours a day, it would take weeks for him to use all of it.

Garcia, who allegedly bought thousands of rounds of ammunition and had 10,000 bullets in his car when he was stopped by police Thursday, was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail yesterday.

Attorney Socrates de la Cruz of Lawrence, who represented Garcia, 32, of 12 Freeman St., at his arraignment in Haverhill District Court, said he will appeal the high bail in Superior Court.

Garcia is charged with three counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and illegal storage of a firearm. His case was continued until June 12.

Assistant District Attorney Christopher Holland asked Judge Patricia Dowling to impose $750,000 cash bail.

"He has no reason to stay here," Holland said.

The judge ordered Garcia to surrender his passport, and said that if he makes bail he is not to leave Massachusetts.

Garcia is a native of the Dominican Republic who was expected to become a U.S. citizen yesterday, but then he was arrested, authorities said.

Police arrested Garcia after he had left Interstate 495 at Exit 49 Thursday. They said they found 10,000 rounds of ammunition in his car. His two young daughters also were in the car, police said.

Holland said at Garcia's arraignment that a "joint effort" by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and state police found that Garcia had previously bought 20,000 rounds of ammunition in New Hampshire.

Garcia told police he only intended to use the bullets for target practice at a rifle range, Holland said, disputing Garcia's explanation. His common law wife, Elizabeth Reynoso, consented to a search and police found another 20,000 rounds, Holland said. They also found one .38-caliber and two 9 mm handguns, and $25,000 in cash, Holland said.

The prosecutor said all of the bullets seized from Garcia were for .38-caliber, 9 mm and .22-caliber firearms. Such ammunition is "like gold in the Dominican Republic," he said.

Holland said Reynoso told police he had "a shipping type of business" and that the $25,000 in cash must have come from Garcia cashing a business check.

"Where is the crime?" de la Cruz asked. The lawyer said Garcia had lived in New Hampshire for three years before recently moving to Haverhill.

"He bought the guns legally," de la Cruz said. "He never hid the fact that he had them."

Furthermore, de la Cruz said that when Garcia moved to Haverhill, he had a 60-day grace period to obtain a Massachusetts firearms card.

"There is no crime committed," he argued, saying there was no evidence that Garcia was shipping guns or ammunition to the Dominican Republic.

He asked the judge to allow his client "to go back to his job." He said Garcia has worked at a local bakery for three years.

Yesterday, Freeman Street residents interviewed by The Eagle-Tribune said they did not know anything about Garcia or guns and ammunition being stored at or shipped from his home.

Medline Abiles, of 43 Freeman St., who resides across the street from Garcia's house, said that in the two months she has lived in the neighborhood, she has not observed any weapons or ammunition and had no reason to be suspicious. Her sister, Carmen Reyes, who visits frequently, said she also had never noticed anything suspicious at the two-family house at 12 Freeman St.

The System is designed to exert Total Control over the Lives of Individuals

Posted by sakerfa on May 18, 2009

What impresses me in the current financial crisis is the near-total failure of so-called progressives to appreciate the magnitude of what is going on or the level of intelligence behind it. How many will say, for instance, that the crash was deliberately engineered by the creation, then destruction, of the investment bubbles of the last decade?

“The development of a sophisticated form of slavery may be an absolute prerequisite for social control.”



When the financial system creates bubbles it drives up the cost of assets far beyond their true value in producing or storing wealth. When the bubbles burst the value of the assets plummets. Those with ready cash then buy them up on the cheap. When the dust settles more wealth has been concentrated in fewer hands. The rich get richer, and ordinary people are left in a deeper condition of indebtedness, poverty, and pressure to perform to the liking of the financial masters.
Progressives think the system needs to be “reformed.” Maybe the banking system needs to be re-regulated or even nationalized. Maybe it should be possible for families facing loss of their homes to get a lower monthly payment from a bankruptcy court. Maybe the government instead of the private sector should administer student loans.
What we fail to acknowledge is that the system itself is totalitarian. This means that it is designed to exert total control over the lives of individuals. We are accustomed to use this label when thinking of anachronisms of history like communism or fascism. We do not understand that globalist finance capitalism and the government which protects, enables, or even regulates it are also totalitarian.
What has happened in the last year as the financial system has seemingly gone belly-up, and is coming back only through massive government bailouts, is part of a pattern that has been around for decades if not centuries. How the controllers work was laid out in 1967 when Dial Press published a leaked copy of The Report from Iron Mountain. This was a study put together by a team of academics and analysts who met at the underground facility in New York that was home to the Hudson Institute.
The report began by identifying war as the central organizing principle of society. It stated, “War itself is the basic social system, within which other secondary modes of social organization conflict or conspire. It is the system which has governed most human societies of record, as it is today.”
The report said that, “The basic authority of a modern state over its people resides in its war powers.” It said that any failure of will by the ruling class could lead to “actual disestablishment of military institutions.” The effect on the system would be, the report said, “catastrophic.”
The appearance of the report caused a sensation when it came out at the onset of the Vietnam War. Officials within the government had no comment, and the report faded into history. But certain of its sections fit the situation in 2009 precisely.
This is because the report outlined the ways the civilian population of a developed nation could be controlled even in the absence of a large-scale war that disrupted their daily lives. One of these ways was defined as follows: “A…possible surrogate for the control of potential enemies of society is the reintroduction, in some form consistent with modern technology and political process, of slavery….The development of a sophisticated form of slavery may be an absolute prerequisite for social control….” (Cited in Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs, 2000.)
We see the development of such a “sophisticated form of slavery” today. What else can a system be called that subjects the population to skyrocketing personal and household debt, a widening gap between the rich and everyone else, constant warfare justified as necessary to fight “terrorism,” erosion of personal freedoms, constantly expanding power allocated to the military and police, pervasive electronic eavesdropping, complete lack of accountability by politicians for their dishonesty and crimes, a mass media devoted solely to establishment propaganda, etc.
None of this seems to be diminishing under the Barack Obama administration. Even the economic recovery Obama is attempting to engineer through massive Keynesian deficit spending is expected by economists to be another “jobless” one like that of 2002-2005. Of course the unemployed or those who fear unemployment are easy to control. And the permanent series of Asian land wars George W. Bush instigated for control of resources and geopolitical leverage against Russia and China continue unabated.
None of this is accidental. As The Report from Iron Mountain made clear four decades ago, it’s what has been planned all along.

The Corporate ‘Person’

Posted by sakerfa on May 17, 2009

Nowhere are corporations mentioned in The Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution was 32 years old before the Supreme Court even dealt with its first case regarding a private, for-profit corporation (Dartmouth College vs. Woodward, 1819) under the contracts clause of Article I, Section 10 (“No State shall… pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.”). It was the conservatively activist court of the period following the War Between the States which changed the landscape of corporate law in the United States with a dictum by Chief Justice Morrison Waite in his opinion on Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific Railroad (1886) stating that corporations were ‘persons’ as meant by the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment (… nor shall any State deprive any ‘person’ of life liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any ‘person’ within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.)
Between 1890 and 1937, VERY activist courts that were VERY conservative and pro-business weakened the ability of employees, customers, state legislatures and labor unions to challenge the power of corporations in the United States. Even under more liberal courts, corporations have been given additional rights of ‘persons’, such as with 1978’s National Bank vs. Bellotti decision which protected corporate ‘political speech’ under the 1st Amendment. In all ways, corporations in the United States are legal ‘persons’ under The Constitution which means that, in The United States, certain stacks of signed documents are the same as, and have the same rights under the law as any living, breathing flesh and blood ‘person’ does. Isn’t it time to challenge the legal and logical fallacies of this position?
A human ‘person’ is born. You can say that a corporation is born, also, but a corporation does not go through a childhood or minority in which it is raised and educated before it is given rights and powers of equal standing with an adult. There is no consideration of childhood for a corporation and yet for a human person, the importance of childhood cannot be minimized. Children can be required to attend school and be subjected to curfews that do not apply to adults. Children are restricted in purchasing or using things with which they might harm themselves or others through restrictions which do not apply to adults (alcohol, tobacco, guns, etc.). Children cannot legally gamble or enter into contracts. Children can be restricted from accessing information which other adults can freely access (pornography and restricted movies are two examples of this). Children cannot vote and their rights of assembly can be limited. Children cannot work or earn their own money except as specifically provided for by law. Childhood places very real restrictions and limitations on human ‘persons’ before they are given all of the rights and privileges of an adult. In addition, under The Constitution, there are even further restrictions on age… no ‘person’ can be elected to a Constitutional office until they have the achieved the age of 25, 30 or 35 (depending on the particular office). Corporations have no equal burdens placed upon them; rather they enter the world as full adults, like Venus rising out of the sea in a shell or Athena springing from the head of Zeus.
A human ‘person’ is responsible for their own actions. A human ‘person’ who breaks a law and is brought before a court to answer to justice will be the one who pays a fine or goes to jail. Felons also have restrictions placed upon them for the rest of their lives. A corporate ‘person’ cannot be jailed. A corporate ‘person’ can also just make changes in their management or their Board of Directors and make a claim for leniency or exception which a human ‘person’ who is sane cannot make… “It wasn’t us, it was others, and they aren’t here now”. Such a claim made by a human ‘person’ would be considered proof of very real and very serious mental illnesses. While individuals who work for a corporation can be held accountable for some of their actions (keep in mind, the purpose of incorporation is to shield individuals from personal liability or accountability to the public), a corporation itself cannot be imprisoned. Further, while a corporation might be fined or otherwise punished by a court, the people who made decisions can go elsewhere and continue as they have. Like a coach of a team which is sanctioned by the NCAA, if the coach can just get a job elsewhere, the sanctions don’t follow him. Corporations can further shield themselves by creating other corporations which they own and control but which protect the greater corporation from financial or legal liability.
A human ‘person’ has duties to perform in their society. A human ‘person’ can be called to serve on a jury as provided for in The Constitution. A human ‘person’ can enlist in, or even be conscripted into a military service and sent to die for their country. A human ‘person’ can run for political office to help fulfill the needs of leadership of their governments at all levels. No corporate ‘person’ is capable of fulfilling the obligations or duty of service to their country of an individual.
A human ‘person’ dies. How long can a human ‘person’ be part of the workforce? How long can they provide for themselves and make their own decisions? How long can a human ‘person’ keep death at bay? While a corporation might go belly up, or be bought or just end by a decision of those at the top, a corporation, a corporate ‘person’, has no natural lifespan and can, in principle, go on living forever… maybe a restructuring here and there or a name change but, none-the-less, the same legal ‘person’.
The logical case against considering corporations to be ‘persons’ could fill a book, however, there is also a legal flaw which should be addressed within the Constitutional framework of accepting corporations as ‘persons’… a ‘person’ can’t be owned in the United States.
The idea of corporations as ‘persons’ was ‘found’ by the Court in the 14th Amendment. If the 14th Amendment makes them ‘persons’ under The Constitution, doesn’t the 13th Amendment also apply to them? (“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”) Now, go to any dictionary you can find and look up, in order, slavery and slave. I’ll wait.
No ‘person’ can own another ‘person’ in the United States. Therefore, if a corporation IS a legal ‘person’ under the protection and jurisdiction of The Constitution, doesn’t that mean that they can’t be owned, and that they cannot own other ‘persons’ (i.e. – other corporations). If The Constitution applies to the Corporate ‘person’, doesn’t that mean that the WHOLE Constitution applies to them?
