From the February 2009 Idaho Observer:

——————————————————————————–

By Ron Cole

I spent the hot summer of 1993 in the crosshairs of a riflescope living just outside Waco, Texas, in a small single story home. Occupying every available space in that house lived those few who had survived the terrible atrocity of earlier that year when federal authorities had attacked our Christian community, known to the outside world as the “Branch Davidian cult compound.”

Rather than assent to a warrantless raid on our home, we had decided to defend ourselves from the violent and lawless military-style assault on our community and, after a 51-day standoff, we were exterminated—almost to the last man, woman and child—in a horrid conflagration.

I was 24-years-old then, thrust by circumstance and passion onto a collision course with those forces responsible for all of that death. I channeled my anger into writing and publishing a book about what had happened (”Sinister Twilight” [1993]). While wielding my pen as if it were mightier than the sword, I was hoping to bring about positive change in America and spare others from experiencing the kind of violence that befell my brethren at Mount Carmel.

That idealism died hard and the persecution I’d hoped to avoid would all but consume my life over the next 15 years.

In the spring of 1994 I acquired a secluded ranch in the mountains of Colorado to serve as a safe retreat for the survivors of our church. We were immediately subjected to terror tactics, overt surveillance, government agents bullying our neighbors and, ultimately, signs of an impending assault. When Americans learned of the government’s ongoing aggression, however, many rallied to our defense—in person, on the radio and through direct pressure against the FBI. Attorney General Janet Reno later referred to our terrifying experience as “almost another ‘Waco standoff’” and, for awhile, the threats subsided. But our intended retreat had by then become an epicenter, so we returned to Waco.

The incident fueled my determination and that fall I embarked on a national speaking tour with one of the Waco fire survivors. We also filed a billion-dollar civil lawsuit against the federal government for their handling of the ‘93 standoff.

In late 1994 the by-then-expected pressure tactics were again escalating with the disturbing addition of local police visiting our home almost every day with their guns drawn, allegedly responding to 911 calls we never made.

Then all hell broke loose. Gunfire erupted outside our house in the dead of night.

A car wrecked, intruders in the yard; shouted warnings were ignored and shots were fired. A fully-equipped SWAT team suddenly appeared. By some miracle nobody was hurt and very mysteriously nobody was arrested. A retired Waco police detective later explained,

“This was a ‘soft raid,’ [The police] tried to lure you outside where they could have shot you down and made-up whatever story they wanted.”

I was thunderstruck by the attempt and we again left Waco for Colorado where at least we’d had good relations with local law enforcement.

We were living in Boulder when, on the 2nd anniversary of the Waco fire, the federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed. A young man, Timothy McVeigh, was arrested for the act and a copy of my book Sinister Twilight was recovered from his getaway car. Federal authorities claimed publicly that my words were a “motivating factor” behind the bombing, a clear attempt to bloody my hands. I was mortified by both the act and the government’s response.

Under the broad justification of counter-terrorism, the FBI declared war against anyone remotely connected to “antigovernment” activity which, by extension, included just about everyone who’d been supportive of us since the fire. Those who could be tied to petty violations of federal law and who, under any other circumstances would never be prosecuted, were the first to fall victim.

I could have retired from public view at that point and maybe I should have. But the fallout after the OKC bombing had turned the spotlight again upon our plight; upon the government’s violence that had been the source of so much rage. I did Nightline and Maury Povich - I racheted up my public rhetoric as the federal authorities escalated theirs.

On May 1, 1997, our home in Colorado was raided by the FBI in an operation that dwarfed the original ‘93 Waco assault.

The crime: Unregistered firearms - technically a tax offense.

I was told that prison was a foregone conclusion and was allowed no bail—all in spite of a previously spotless record.

Prison was a nightmare - but thanks to outside support I was able to maintain my websites and continued to publish articles highly critical of the government’s abuse of its powers.

In 1999 I was released on probation after serving a 27-month sentence. I was then 30 years old and my first priority was to marry my fiance’. I never expected the government to be so petty as to stand in the way, but my “supervised release” officer did, refusing to authorize a legal union under threat of a probation violation and a return to prison.

I couldn’t accept that outrage, as I’m sure they knew I wouldn’t and I fled the country with my new wife.

As the FBI and U.S. Marshals beat the bushes from New York to Texas, my wife and I had an improvised honeymoon in a safehouse thousands of miles away—all made possible by some very generous supporters. But we ultimately required a real life, and when we learned we’d soon be parents, we returned to the United States and I turned myself in.

I served another 18 months in federal prison, during which time our son was born. All in all it was a small price to pay for my beautiful family, but one had to spend.

Over the next few years I focused on being a good husband and father, while establishing myself as a successful industrial designer.

In late 2005 an employee of mine found a drivers’ license in my office with a different name under my picture - a relic from the old days. He called the police; the police uncovered my history and called the FBI. A federal “anti-terrorist unit” ransacked my home, car and office and took all of my computers. Then nothing happened.

On November 20, 2007—two years later—I was picking my son up from school. A SWAT team forced my car off the road and violently pulled me into the street; they were screaming and pointing their guns. The FBI placed me under arrest. The crime: Possession of an altered drivers’ license; I was sentenced to another 27 months in prison. My wife was expelled from her masters’ degree program and physically banned from campus. Her crime: Being married to me.

These experiences spanning 15 years are extreme but not unique. Many Americans who run afoul of the government—due to their religious or political beliefs and outspoken determination—are enduring similar experiences right now and it’s getting worse.

“Government is a living organism. Like every living thing its prime characteristic is a blind, unreasoned instinct to survive. You hit it, it will fight back,” wrote Robert Heinlein in his classic epic “Stranger in a Strange Land.”

I hope that through sharing some of my story I can help reveal the sinister methods our government uses to fight against its own people. That it has happened to me, means that it can happen to you.

Prodigal–a person who spends, or has spent, his or her money or substance with wasteful extravagance; spendthrift.

Did you see this? Food costs are rising faster in America than anytime in the last two decades. Is it any wonder?

We are burning our food. It is the last sign of foolishness in the mind of secular man. We live in a society today where God and the things of God are deemed foolish. It is right out of Romans 1.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…”

The American ship is being steered by fools. The official policy of the American government is the worship of nature. (“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened…..Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,)

The captains of the “ship of fools” have turned to worship of the creation rather than the worship of the “Creator.”

It’s global warming I am talking about. Environmentalism, rain forests (Tarzan called them jungles), no drilling in ANWR and “going green” are nothing more than re-worked paganism endorsed by our government and proselytized in our government schools.

The official policy of the United States government is “Earth Worship.” Gaia is Eastern Mysticism dress up as “Environmentalism.” We have exchanged the Truth of God for a lie.

The Bible is out and Global Warming is in. Even some churches are buying in to the “new religion.”

The reprobate mind is leading America.

I am sure that you have noticed the steady rise of food prices at the grocery. It has been going on for several years now. A few years ago a friend of mine who is a dairy farmer shared with me that he was on the verge of bankruptcy. His costs for producing a gallon of milk did not equal the price he was receiving in the market. But all of that changed about sixteen months ago. In our latest conversation he shared with me that in all his years in the milk business prices had never been higher. He was actually turning a profit.

“Why is that John?” I asked. His answer made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. “The price of grain is going through the roof because the ethanol producers are buying it all to try and turn it into alternative fuels. There is a big fight going on in the markets. Should the grain be used for fuel or food?”

We are burning our food while huge new deposits of oil are being discovered on American soil.

As I was thinking about this yesterday it reminded me of the story of the Prodigal Son. Take time to read it, only replace “son” with “nation.” “And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat:

If we continue down this road, America we will end up “eating the husks.”

What has become of wise men? What has become of common sense? What has become of wisdom?

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”…… “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…”

What type of leadership burns our food?

The American Church is paralyzed by what Gary DeMar calls “Last-Days Madness.” In a nutshell, the modern American Church has become so obsessed with End-Time prophecy that Christians have ceased to be the “salt and light” that Christ has commanded us to be. Convinced that things are “only going to get worse” Christians have neglected Jesus’ mandate to “Occupy until I return and have instead turned the gates of authority over to the enemies of the cross.

“Worse is better!” I heard one Christian-radio pundit say. “As things get worse that means the return of the Lord is near.”

What hogwash! Is the Lord glorified by the multiplication of evil? “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth…” Did Jesus pray against His own will?

I don’t want to turn this into a theological discussion and get us all wrapped in the minutia of fig trees and famines. For the Lord’s sake, man, STAND UP AND FIGHT!

I have often wondered what America would look like if the Church believed in revival as much as it believed in the rapture. What would happen to this land if the churches turned their eyes towards heaven and bombarded the gates with cries of repentance? What would happen if we begged the Lord to send us true spiritual revival?

Every time I read the story of the Prodigal I am struck by a verse hidden in the parable. “And when he came to himself…”

Isn’t it time that we “came to ourselves” and returned to the Father?

In 1970, Hal Lindsay wrote a book “The Late, Great Planet Earth” where he suggested that the rapture would occur within forty years of the formation of the nation of Israel in 1948. When the end didn’t come in 1988, he and a few others changed the date to forty years after the capturing of Jerusalem in 1967. Lindsay and his fellow prognosticators are working on borrowed time.

But let’s say Lindsay is right. Let’s assume that the return of Christ occurs next March. Will our efforts to restore Jehovah as King over this Nation have been in vain? Doesn’t it make more sense that the closer we get the harder we should fight?

On the other hand, what if the rapture doesn’t occur in the next few years? What if the “prophets” have been wrong and time marches on? What if it is another forty years? What will this nation look like if Christians continue to allow this nation to wallow in the pig-pen?

If your house was on fire would you watch it burn….or grab a hose?

America must return to God. If God-fearing men and women rise above the insanity and call the nation to a return to the Father we have His Word that He will “heal our land.”

I don’t know what the future holds. But I look in the eyes of my children and envision a future beyond description. As the Church has yielded all authority to the “government” the flood of evil is rising like a tidal wave. Thinking that the wave is to be ridden to heaven, Christians will be shocked as they are slammed head-first onto the rock.

Could this be the final sign from the Lord? Could He be pleading with us to return home? The eating of the husks brought the Prodigal to his senses. Will it take starvation to turn us around?

Is America a prodigal nation? We are lost but can we still be found? If so, we must pull ourselves out of the moral muck.

We are burning our food in a sacrificial ritual to the environment. I can see that God is turning up the heat. It gives new meaning to “global warming.”

“I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,” Our choice is clear. America must come to her senses.

“Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” - William Penn

Then & Now

Steven E. Moran, Jr.

February 21, 2008

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”-from the U.S. Declaration of Independence

THEN: ”My ardent desire is, and my aim has been…to comply strictly with all our engagements foreign and domestic; but to keep the United States free from political connections with every other Country.  To see that they may be independent of all, and under the influence of none. In a word, I want an American character, that the powers of Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves and not for others; this, in my judgment, is the only way to be respected abroad and happy at home.”– George Washington (letter to Partick Henry, 9 October 1775)

NOW: “I will send you a proposal to double the budget of the National Endowment for Democracy, and to focus its new work on the development of free elections, and free markets, free press, and free labor unions in the Middle East. And above all, we will finish the historic work of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq, so those nations can light the way for others, and help transform a troubled part of the world.”– George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, January 2006THEN:  “The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.” –George Washington

NOW:  “The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant. America’s domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve and America’s foreign policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund [IMF].” And, “…when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress.”– Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, January 7, 1999

THEN:  “I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty”

THEN: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence. To secure peace, securely and happiness, the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.”  –George Washington

NOW:  “Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.” –U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden Associated Press 11/18/93
“Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe.”
–U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein Associated Press 11/18/93

THEN:  “No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”–Thomas Jefferson

NOW:  “If it was up to me, no one but law enforcement officers would own hand guns…” - Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, in Washington, D.C., November 13, 1998.

THEN: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure [without] a conviction… that these liberties are a gift from God?”  –Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independence

NOW:  “When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans …… And so a lot of people say there’s too much personal freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.”– U.S. President Bill Clinton, on MTV 3-22-94 

THEN:  “America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy; she is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all.  She is the champion and vindicator only of her own” –John Adams

NOW:  “The story of America is the story of expanding liberty: an ever-widening circle, constantly growing to reach further and include more. Our nation’s founding commitment is still our deepest commitment: In our world, and here at home, we will extend the frontiers of freedom.” -George W. Bush

THEN:  “[O]ur fathers were men—they were heroes and patriots—they fought—they conquered—and they bequeathed to us a rich inheritance of liberty and empire which we have no right to surrender.  —Noah Webster

NOW: “It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance.”  -George H.W. Bush, 19921 speech to UN General Assembly

THEN: “Democracy is the most vile form of government… democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” -James Madison, Father of the U.S. Constitution

NOW:  “We are Americans, trustees of a vision and a heritage that commit us to the values of democracy and the universal cause of human rights.”

NOW:  “Our aim is nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands to dominate the political system of each country, and the world economy as a whole. Freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives…”  -Carrol Quigley, CFR (1966), U.S. President Bill Clinton named Quigley as an important influence during his acceptance speech to the 1992 Democratic National Cnvention

THEN:  “The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. –James Madison

NOW:  “we will finish the historic work of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq, so those nations can light the way for others, and help transform a troubled part of the world.”– George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, January 19, 2006

NOW:  “The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety…” -Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States

THEN:  “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, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802),3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

NOW: “…the nation-state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.”⁷

Zbigniew Brzezinski, In 1971,Former National Security Advisor during Carter Administration (Note) David Rockefeller recognized the shortcomings of the CFR when he founded the Trilateral Commission in 1973 with Zbigniew Brzezinski. Rockefeller represented Corporate and Brzezinski represented Academic.

(Note) Through its powerful membership, the Trilateral Commission dominates the executive branch of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve System, and is closely aligned with the Bank for International Settlements, which controls the world’s currencies and money supply. This is seen even without analyzing the remaining two-thirds of Commission membership that resides outside of the U.S.

THEN: ”Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” -Benjamin Franklin

NOW:  “…The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”Henry Kissinger in an address to the Bilderberger meeting at Evian, France on May 21, 1992.

THEN: “Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands.”  - Thomas Jefferson

NOW: “The taxpayer; that´s someone who works for the federal government, but doesn´t have to take a civil service examination.”–Ronald Reagan , 40th US President

THEN:  “What students would learn in American (public) schools above all is the religion of Jesus.”-George Washington

NOW:  “”By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God…” -Gloria Steinem, radical feminist in 2/10/1973 edition of Saturday Review of Education

THEN:  “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, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802),3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

NOW:  “Mr. Chairman, we have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a government board, has cheated the government of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt”. -Congressman Louis T. McFadden, speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives on June 10,1932

THEN:  “Independence Forever!” -John Adams, final public proclamation during celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Indepe ndence

 NOW:  “The U.S. must strive to build a new international order… including states labeling themselves as ’socialist’… to maintain and gradually increase the authority of the United Nations.” -Statement from Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1959

THEN:  “Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.” -John Adams, 2nd President of the United States

NOW:  “Capital must protect itself in every way… Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers…” J.P. Morgan, Family involved in the 1913 secret meeting on Jekyll Island that formed the private banking cartel Federal Reserve

Greetings All:

Merriam Webster dictionary defines ‘treason’ as follows, 1: the betrayal of a trust :treachery. It is an understatement to say our government has betrayed our trust.  Their daily usurping of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is treasonous and should be a call to action for all Patriotic Americans who love Fredom, and Cherish our National Sovereignty.

As I begin to work on my Federal Income Tax filing. You know, that un-constitutional government extortion of ‘personal property’ i.e. wages (not income) from We the People, I thought it would be a good time to send out my annual re-circulation of a commentary of mine titled, “Money Trail To Socialism” attached below.  Hopefully it helps in getting you in the festive mood of complying with one of the biggest “ponzi schemes” in the history of this once “Great Republic.”

If you happen to be one who believes communism was defeated, think again.  We have American Presidents, Presidential Candidates, Media ‘puppets’, and ignorant Americans refering to our country as a ‘Democracy’, Karl Marx (Mr. Communism himself) said, “Democracy is the road to socialism” ,  Comrade Vladimir Lenin, former dictator of the Communist U.S.S.R. said, “The goal of socialism is communism.”

The dots are being connected folks!  With the current choices in the 2008 Presidential election, we should be on track to make Lenin’s ‘goal’ reality.

Yours In Liberty,
Steve

Money Trail to Socialism

By Steven E. Moran, Jr.

January 5, 2007

It’s Income Tax filing season again; the time when we willingly put our signature of approval to the year long extortion of wages that has been perpetrated against us despite the fact the federal government refuses to identify the tax law that authorizes them to confiscate such wages.  Fact is, you can’t identify law that doesn’t exist! Former IRS Commissioner T. Coleman Andrews once said, “The income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest way to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated taxes on income and heavy levies upon the estates of people when they die. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what’s happening to him.” For those who may not know, the Communist Manifesto is the work of none other than Karl Marx, also known as the Father of Communism.  Marxism believes in the abolition of private property, denial of family inheritance, centralization of the banks by means of a national bank with an exclusive monopoly, and free education for all children in public schools. There is more, but I think you can get the picture.  If some of this sounds familiar, it ‘s because it is happening at varying levels right here in the good ole USA .  Look at the number of eminent domain cases recently.  In most cases, the government is misusing this law to remove Americans from their private property for use by other private enterprise. It doesn’t get much more un-American than denying a person the right to unfettered ownership of private property.  The current inheritance tax is unconstitutional, and just short of the Marxist dogma of denying survivors of the deceased it’s family inheritance.  Today, our free public schools would be more accurately described as government indoctrination centers.  Our public schools denounce prayer in a country founded on Judeo–Christian principles.  Despite what the secularist would like us to believe, our heritage is undeniable.  George Washington once said; “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.” During a speech in 1779 he said; “What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus.”  This is certainly not the emphasis of our public schools today.  As a matter of fact it is totally forbidden; instead the Marxist agenda of moral relativism now corrupts the minds of children in public schools throughout the country.  Marx’s call for centralization of the banks as it relates to America is a clear reference to the Federal Reserve; this private banking cartel is indeed a monopoly to say the least.   I talked about this in my previous essay, “Oatmeal, Potatoes, and the Federal Reserve. It is my hope that this essay can serve as Part 2, and continue connecting the dots in tracking the Money Trail To Socialism.

The ingenious part of this insidious plan is the fact that it is being done with our money.  Dr Laurence J. Peter,  Canadian born educator, and best known for his formulation of the “Peter Principle”, once said, “ America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.” Americans now surrender approximately 50% of gross earnings to this system of government extortion, and other forms of taxation.  It is estimated that the average American taxpayer must work from January thru May just to meet their alleged tax obligations for the year.  First, the government taxes our wages before we see a dime. The same money is taxed again upon the purchase of most goods and services.   Stop to fill up your car at a gas station… government taxes you.  Drive the interstate…government taxes you.  Buy some tickets for a ball game…government taxes you.  Pop open a cold one…government taxes you.  Book an airline flight for a family vacation…government taxes you.  Reserve a hotel room for that vacation…government taxes you.  Achieve the American dream and buy a home for your family…government taxes you.  Make a home improvement on your private property…government taxes you.  Make a phone call…government taxes you.  Turn on a light in your home…government taxes you.  Adjust your heat thermostat…government taxes you.  Flush the toilet…government taxes you.  Turn on your television…government taxes you.  Exercise your 2^nd Amendment right and purchase a firearm…government taxes you.  Stressed out over all this taxation, take a moment to enjoy a relaxing cigar…oops…government taxes you.  After a fleecing like this, one would think the taxman is content; Wrong! Eventually we succumb to the second necessary evil of life, and pass on. The federal government then has the audacity to extend its condolences to the family of the deceased in the form of the “Death Tax”.

This is Marxism at work folks!  When the government is allowed to invent ways to steal the “fruits of the people’s labor”, economic freedom is sure to suffer, and the inevitable result at best, will lead to Socialism.  Vladimir I.

Lenin, the first Russian dictator of the Soviet Union, a student of Karl Marx, and remembered as the man who put Marx’s ideas to practical use once said; “The way to crush the bourgeoisie (middle class) is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”  That grind has certainly taken its toll on Americans.  It’s been ninety-four years of unlawful taxation and still one has to wonder if Americans realize what is happening to them.  Perhaps former IRS Commissioner Andrew’s suggestion, to include a copy of the Communist Manifesto with our tax returns will awaken us from our apathetic state, and allow us to see what is happening to us.  Of course, we’ll probably be taxed for it!

Super Tuesday is behind us, and for many there were no surprises.

The GOP presidential candidates who stood for the Constitution, individual liberty, and a sound economy, were marginalized by the national media and the party machine.

But the machine no longer has a monopoly, and the countless millions who share our passion for liberty and limited government don’t need to play by its rules and choose between supporting John McCain or staying home on Election Day.

There is a party that embraces their vision and whose presidential candidate will be on the ballot in November. That party is the Constitution Party.

Ron Paul’s message to his supporters on Friday, February 8 confirms that the likelihood of a brokered convention is greatly diminished, that he will NOT run a Third Party campaign in 2008 and that he will remain in the GOP to focus on his re-election to Congress.

We owe Dr. Paul a very great debt of gratitude for all he has done to revive and energize interest in freedom and our US Constitution, and also for making clear his plans for the remainder of 2008.

For those who put their heart and soul into supporting Ron Paul’s presidential campaign we all have the challenge to make sure that there is a constitutional choice for president on the ballot in all 50 states this November!

The results of the primaries make it clear that the Republican Party really stands for big government, less freedom and an end to national sovereignty.

No wonder they pulled out all the stops to marginalize Ron Paul. But there was something they didn’t count on and couldn’t control – his supporters could not be silenced. From coast to coast they shook the foundations of the main stream media and conventional wisdom.

Dr. Paul woke a sleeping giant in the form of millions of Americans, whose passion, energy and determination is simply too strong to go silent. The principles expressed by Dr. Paul and embraced by his supporters are the bedrock of what made America great, and those principles are embodied in the Constitution Party platform.

A party dedicated to securing our borders, eliminating the IRS, and a return to a sound monetary system. A party committed to stopping the national ID card, protecting privacy and liberty, preserving gun rights and protecting the unborn. A party opposed to unconstitutional trade agreements and undeclared wars.

Unlike the Republican Party which rejected Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, the Constitution Party embraces much of the philosophy and principles that they articulated. Any candidate of their stature and history would be welcomed in the Constitution Party.

We are confident that many hardworking Americans, like those who made the Ron Paul Revolution the phenomenon it is, recognize that the battle has just started and the place to continue those heroic efforts is with millions of likeminded people in the Constitution Party.

We invite you to Join Now and work with us to Restore the American Dream.

Yours for Liberty,

James N. Clymer
Constitution Party National Chairman
