TABLE OF CONTENTS


The purpose of this TOC is to make it easier to get to posts that might be of particular interest to the visitors. To this end, I've added a brief description of what can be found in each post. To get to the post, just click the title in the TOC. No need to use the archives. To return just click the "Return to TOC" label at the end of each post.

When I created this TOC I just followed the order entry, but this just leaves what I feel are the most important posts under the pile. These were the reason I started the blog. It was my intention to make available information not as well known nor so readily available on the internet. What I am doing now is bringing those posts to the front of the TOC. Chronological order is still maintained in the archives. For now, as I decide what is the best order. I’m also thinking of just adding the links to the related posts in the description of the main topic. This will be a work in progress.

I'd appreciate it if you'd drop me a comment if you find this useful.

Also, I've added a translator 01/21/11. I've had bad luck with them in the past and doubt their effectiveness. I would appreciate it if anyone with a fair working knowledge of English who translates any part of this blog would let me know if the meaning is badly distorted. Thanks.

New World Order - Death of America 1940's map of the world showing the globalists' plans for placing the sheeples of the world into regional superstates as a first step toward world government. The plan accompanying the map is given separately. That is followed by my take on the map plan as it is still evolving today. A long list of quotes about a “New World Order” or world government shows that this idea has a long history and was not an invention of George H.W. Bush as some still think. NOTE: Newer graphics programs may be able to handle jpeg 2000. If you have one that does, the download of the map from the Library of Congress is now easy and worth it.

Regionalism – The Death of the American System The federal program to eliminate our States and local governments or to render them provinces of the Washingtonian Empire. A number of maps include the 1930's plan to consolidate the States into federal regions, the “Crime of '54”, Nixon's follow up on the 30's plan and others.

OBITUARY
Announcing and mourning the tragic death of America.

AMNESTY IS TREASON
Why those supporting amnesty for illegal aliens are traitors.

Surprise! Surprise!
Obamacare moving toward its inevitable collapse.  What more can they take from us to save the Obamanation?

ALPHA & OMEGA and the Left vs. Right Myth
The Left vs. Right dog & pony show exposed as a control mechanism.

America and Islamophobia
The Islamic countries have stood in the way of the Bankers for years.  America has been assigned the dirty work of destroying them.

Then and Now
A campaign pamphlet I published when I ran for State Assembly some 30 years ago.  My stance has changed little since then.

Pizza Registration
One of the two stories here is an absurd fiction and the other the truth.  Can you tell which is which?

Merry Christmas
A few things to ponder this Christmas Day.

Myths, Misconceptions, and Misdirections
A few thoughts and concepts I've developed or adopted over the years about some popular but questionable ideas.  Some of those ideas can have serious consequences if widely accepted.

Jury Nullification
Trial by Jury - When used properly is the ultimate check against tyranny.

Earth Day - A Failed Conservation Attempt

The fate of the Liberty Tree?

Dream? Or Nightmare of Reality?

Were the sacrifices of so many all in vain?

Unique Terrorists

Our enemy, the Department of (in)Justice, continues to catagorize Americans who don't Goosestep to the government's marching music as terrorists and extremists. In this case it's Bernard von NotHaus, developer of the "Liberty Dollar" and any who speak the truth about our fraudulent monetary system.

A Retraction

After further reading, I lost hope of Canada being a beacon of freedom.

Canadian Liberty...Lost...Regained...Lost Again

Brief email exchange shows how Canada freed itself from the economic yoke placed on it by the bankers and how the yoke was once more put in place with disastrous consequences.

Go Ahead. Tread On Me

Following the shootings in Arizona, we are likely to be faced with another drive to leave us defenseless in the face of an ever more aggressive and oppressive government. Those who prefer to deal with obedient servants rather than free men will attempt to further disarm us. This is a timely reminder from the annals of Paul Harvey of what happens to disarmed people.

Some Old Thoughts My responses to a 1996 survey mailed by the Republican National Convention and titled "Mandate for Leadership. I just found it in files I'd taken from an old computer. I think the answers are just as valid today.

PLEASE HELP!!!

UK Times article shedding light on the plight of the poor investment bankers and my personal appeal for help for them.

Regulation, Reform, and My Uncle Remus

Some interesting information from the UK's Financial Times and some words of wisdom from my Uncle Remus on the use of regulation and reform by big business to destroy competition.

Still Working The Plan

Update On Fulfillment of the 1941-42 Plan for China.

Platform of the Maine Republican Party

This is the current platform of the Maine Republican Party. If sincere, it represents a solid step toward restoring the Constitution, State sovereignty, and saving our national sovereignty. It should be adopted and adhered to by more State parties.

Obamacare Simplified

Contains a link to a roadmap of Obamacare. Makes understanding the plan simple. Download the PDF to explain the plan to your friends and family and gain their respect.

North American Union

A Canadian view of the North American Union in an article posted by the Canadian Action Party. It's a great start on understanding what the NAU is all about. You can also see the future of the NAU by following the machinations of the European Union which is the same idea but has a headstart. Refer also to the post "New World Order -- Death of America."

Government of Money, by Money, and for Money

Lysander Spooner's assessment of the link between money and government.

Boycott Seattle

Seattle and a couple of other U.S. cities have had the audacity to attack Arizona for its defence of our borders and sovereignty.

A Pairadocs

I sent a copy of Hardy Wright's AllVoices post to an internet doctor friend and received this inside view of the health care situation.

Ugly Face of ObamaCare Revealed

Government publication reveals that the opponents of ObamaCare who were accused of lying, fear mongering, partisan politics, and even racism were telling the truth in the face of the Obama Mob lies.

Truth Has Fallen and Taken Liberty with It

I don't know how, in his career, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts could have written anything more important than this excellent analysis of the sorry state of our union. If I were to try to sum it up, I couldn't do better than these two sentences that comprise his second paragraph and the two paragraphs that close the article:

"Today Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it."

"With over 21 per cent unemployment as measured by the methodology of 1980, with American jobs, GDP, and technology having been given to China and India, with war being Washington’s greatest commitment, with the dollar over-burdened with debt, with civil liberty sacrificed to the “war on terror,” the liberty and prosperity of the American people have been thrown into the trash bin of history.

The militarism of the U.S. and Israeli states, and Wall Street and corporate greed, will now run their course. As the pen is censored and its might extinguished, I am signing off."

The Lies Won't Stop

An email from 8th Congressional District Gauleiter Patrick Murphy continuing the lies and demagoguery used by proponents throughout the campaign, together with my comments and a letter I'd written to the local paper.

Healthcare Obamanation

This monstrosity will kill healthcare in America. I predict that if it goes through, two things will happen. Firstly, a huge bureaucracy will be created that will allow Obama to claim jobs creation. In reality it will be institutionalized unemployment. Secondly, ten years from now there will be a steady stream of wetbacks crossing the Rio Grande at night seeking healthcare--in Mexico.

Hen House Safe - Fox in Charge of Security

"Our" government has appointed one of the principle architects of the derivatives scheme to a key position in AIG management. Management of "risks" will be one of his functions.

Regionalism - Death of the French System

Regionalism, the cancer that is eating State, local, and national governments is seen in France in this report from the UK Financial Times. Some of the points made by Times reporter Hollinger closely parallel the scheme being foisted on America.

A Small Victory - Maybe!

The people of NJ defeat globalist Corzine who wanted to lower cost of NJ government by eliminating the towns and boroughs. This was just a continuation of the scheme outlined in the "Regionalism - Death of the American System" post in this blog.

A report from 1977 shows how the regionalists are working to make their crimes legal by changing the Constitution, either by a convention or by Supreme Court perversions.

A Prophecy From England

An Englishman talks of the losses to British sovereignty and rights under the European Union and thereby gives us a preview of what to expect when our national sovereignty fades into the murky depths of the North American Union.

The Revolution Was

An excerpt from Garet Garret's treatise on the “New Deal.” Stop looking for a revolution that will destroy the American system. It already happened.

Good Summary of Our Current Condition

Taken verbatim from the propagandawerks blog, this gives an all too real evaluation of the State of the Union....maybe of the world.

Resistance - Continues

Resistance to usurpation of the rights of the States is growing. We can only hope it's not too late. The ohiorepublic blogspot is tracking progress. Follow the link in the post.

Regionalism - Resistance

Resistance to federal encroachment in Oklahoma has been spurred by a federal injunction against one of the most sensible illegal aliens law in the States. A resolution by OK representative Charles Key stalled at a 24-24 vote, but at least there are 24 Americans in the Oklahoma legislature. The text of the resolution is here.

New Voice

The prestigious Financial Times, British counterpart of the Wall Street Journal, now sees the coming of a world government, in fact, reporter Gideon Rachman practically gloats over it. There are some interesting revelations in the article, but perhaps the most revealing is the fact that European Union measures are obtained more easily when they are “pushed through” without reference to the people. The globalists preach democracy when they can sucker the people into following their plans, but when they can't, then we get “leadership,” you know, “Das Fuehrer Prinzip.”

Jury Nullification

The little known power of the jury.

In London in 1670, Quakers Penn and Meade were tried on charges of unlawful assembly. The evidence was against the Quakers, so the jury was instructed to find them guilty. Apparently the jury believed the Quakers had the right to assemble and acquitted them. For ignoring the instructions of the judge, the jury members were fined. A juror, Bushell, refused to pay and was imprisoned. He sued his writ of habeas corpus from the court of common pleas. Chief-justice Vaughn found that a jury could not be fined for acquitting a defendant against both the weight of evidence and instructions of the judge. In effect, this decision acknowledged the right of the jury members to vote their conscience and acquit those accused of violating an unjust law. It was clear that the jury could judge not only the facts, but the law itself.

This is how the jury trial entered America through the British Common Law. It was, at the founding of this nation, a recognized power of the jury to nullify unjust laws by refusing to convict. This was affirmed by several Supreme Court justices.

"The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy."
John Jay, 1st Chief Justice of the United States supreme Court, 1789

"The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts."
Samuel Chase, U.S. supreme Court Justice, 1796, Signer of the unanimous Declaration

"the jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, U.S. supreme Court Justice, 1902

"The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided."
Harlan F. Stone, 12th Chief Justice U.S. supreme Court, 1941

The opinion of these Justices makes it clear that the intent of the Jury Trial went beyond mere unbiased determination of the facts. The Jury was one of the checks and balances against tyrannical laws, whether emanating from the Federal or the State and local governments. We, the people, were empowered to nullify unjust laws by making them unenforceable.

The rulings of Holmes and Stone, as recently as the last century, might suggest that the concept of Jury Nullification is still strong. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Since the victory of the forces favoring a strong central government in the Civil War, the federal government has been chipping away at that right and duty of the jury. At one point, the courts, while admitting we had the right as jurors to effectively nullify unjust laws, said a judge does not have to inform the jury of that right. That happened in the late 1800's. Since then it has gotten worse. Today, if a judge thinks a juror is finding for a not guilty verdict on the basis of injustice or unconstitutionality of the law, he/she will likely remove the juror. So a word to the wise. If your “not guilty” vote is based on your right to nullify a law, don't let it be known that that is the case. Try to find a subtle way to clue your fellow jurors. No matter what, be an American. Stick to your guns regardless of what the other jurors might think.

A growing number of people are beginning to realize that the majority of laws now enacted by the federal government are unconstitutional, that they act in areas reserved to the States and/or infringe on the rights of the people. The Supreme Court of the United States has given its blessings to these crimes against the Constitution and the people. Jury Nullification can override this sanctioning of crime by the SCOTUS and make the people the Ultimate Supreme Court. That is how it should be. For my part, I would never find anyone guilty in a federal court. The federal government has violated virtually every significant clause of the Constitution. That alone makes it the biggest crime syndicate in the United States – possibly in the world. In addition to aiding its banker masters in the theft of the wealth of the American people, it has become a global Murder, Inc. through the waging of unconstitutional wars and political assassinations. I will be damned to Hell before I will help big crooks put little crooks, if, in fact, they are crooks, in jail.

For an example of how the Department of (in)Justice, the federal agency in charge of administering justice in this country, has not only proven itself an enemy of America, constitutional government, and the American people, but has also shown itself to be an uncommon criminal, see:
