America: After the Coup

Wes Penre, Feb 20, 2005 -
It
must be thoroughly admitted that domestic and foreign enemies have
infiltrated the United States government. We see this in the blatant
assaults on our Constitution. Freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion;
the right to bear arms; posse comitatus; security of our property and
bodies; court misconduct; excessive bail and fines; State's rights; all
these have been infringed. From the War of Northern Aggression (misnamed
"Civil War") until the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, a steady barrage
of tyranny was dashed against our Sacred Document. From the creation of the
United Nations and through the preposterous and continuous wars, the New
Order committed egregious acts against the simple, good, and industrious
people of the nation. After finally taking the red pill and realizing this,
the next step is not so clear.
The following is a broad brushstroke design, and only meant for the
consumption of those who dream to be free. There will be many arguments,
which are always valuable. Perhaps if I can help guide our mindset in a
positive fashion, in the slightest way, I can do my little part for humanity
and for the formerly great United States of America. Can we become what I
describe below? I can imagine it. If enough people imagine, doesn't it
become reality?
Government - We must oust the
current regime. I won't try to say how this should be done. It really
doesn't matter. It must be done. Elected leaders must take an oath to
uphold the Bill of Rights. All persons acting against this document
will be automatically and without mercy tried for treason. The Supreme
Court provisions will be abolished in an act of sweeping Judicial Branch
reform. Federal judgeships will become elected offices. The same fate
awaits any judge who fails to adhere to the Bill of Rights that can be
expected for politicians doing the same - being tried as a traitor.
Political parties will be abolished. It will be the duty of each
candidate to publicly and on the record state what he or she will and
will not do in office. It should be the duty of each voter to study the
candidates, and thus make a decision based upon words or actions or
affiliations, not parties. A fourth branch of government, the elected
Civilian Branch, will be formed to oversee elections, debates, and other
necessarily objective functions of government. This breaks the conflict
of interest that occurs when politicians control their own debates, when
board members become the panelists of their own investigations, etc.
The Civilian Branch will furthermore provide a new check for the
balance. It will be the duty of the Civilian Branch to make known to
the public actions of politicians who diverge from campaign promises.
Listing the voting record of incumbents should be a part of election
debates. The Presidency itself will be abolished. The Congress and
Civilian Branch will choose five leaders from Congress to form the
Executive Leadership Council, a reformed Executive Branch. These five
leaders will rotate the nominal presidency annually, and serve only as a
humble figurehead. All Executive Cabinet positions will become elected
offices. All legislation will be subject to a referendum upon a
petition of a mere 1% of the population. Then, to a vote that will
decide the fate of the law. Citizens must participate in the full
process of legislating society. Only then can they secure a prolonged,
healthy, and steady standard of living.
Military - U.S. military units will
be withdrawn from every one of the 130+ countries we now hold as
military colonies. 75% of the military will be fired. This will cause
an economic problem, which we will address and adjust later.
Regardless, we cannot accept wealth gained by threat or use of a bomb.
America's new leaders will make a global announcement that we will no
longer meddle in foreign affairs. We will ask forgiveness for the
millions of dead innocents that were murdered by our reckless foreign
policies and actions. We will promise just compensation to the
countries and families affected. We will promise not to get involved
again. Our country will then warn that, anyone who meddles in our
affairs with force will be completely demolished. We will no longer
support Israel, nor any country, with money or weapons: although U.S.
citizens may volunteer to fight for any country that is not an enemy of
America, regardless of that country's position on the rest of the
world. Knowing that Israel will fall, we will allow any and all
Israelites passage to America before allowing the war to begin in
earnest there. We accept this responsibility as compensation for
conspiring and acting to force-migrate European Jewish and Palestinian
populations; and in the knowledge that without our help, Israel will
surely be utterly destroyed and Palestine reinstated. Every U.S. male
should be a soldier in the new American Army, although conscription is
not allowed. Service will only consist of two weeks training per year,
except for a small core of elected military professionals. Every man
will keep the most advanced pistol, rifle, and small explosives in a
strongbox in his house. Women will be allowed to participate if
desired. Americans will do this knowing that they will never have to
fight unless our shores are physically attacked. Intelligence
operations will dramatically decrease, and details fully open to
Congress. We elect our Congressmen trusting them to keep this
information secret, and to expose it if it is illegal. Both Congress
and intelligence agencies plan operations and keep state secrets with
the knowledge of a stringent penalty for traitors.
Immigration - Immigration will be
stopped completely for one to four years, as we gauge the effects of
past, present, and future policies. We will deport all illegal aliens.
Every citizen born in the country will have to take a pledge to live by
the Bill of Rights. Those who disagree will not be allowed to vote or
hold office. America will then reassess her situation. It should then
be decided what jobs absolutely cannot be filled by Americans. The U.S.
will again accept immigrants for those necessary positions, but only
from countries that support our right to govern as a sovereign nation.
Also, knowing the power of love and family, spouses and family members
from pro-American countries will be able to become citizens. Mexican
and Canadian friendships should be tended. Second, truly democratic
nations who accept our non-interventionism will be given preferential
treatment in immigration, as well as in trade. Any repeat immigration
violators will be put in prison for no more than one year. Prison space
will be utilized from the release of all prisoners convicted of
consensual crimes. The borders will remain open, for the free travel of
humanity; this must be in conjunction with fair and immediate adherence
to immigration protocols and laws.
Economics - Trade with anti-human
rights countries will cease. There will be a huge shortage of Chinese
products, notably (which will have the benefit of dealing a blow to that
violator's own economy). Manufacturing, production, and farming MUST
become the backbone of our country again, and the shortage of cheap
foreign products will become the basis for a resurgence. The Federal
Reserve will be abolished and we will again expect Congress to print
gold-backed money. With a vastly evacuated military and bureaucracy,
our expenditures will decrease by over 75%. A maximum 10% flat tax will
be instituted, and enforced fairly. There is no reprieve from taxation
for corporations, period. The Communistic graduated income tax will be
abolished once and for all. The IRS will be virtually defunct. We
will, however, confiscate all ill-gotten corporate gains, and
corporations will no longer be legally defined as individuals. Also,
50% or more of federal land will be sold off at wholesale to ecological
reserves of all types and sizes, individuals, and small businesses. The
land will not need preserving, because all ecological polluters WILL be
prosecuted harshly. All monies from formerly federal property will pay
back Veterans of War, Social Security donors, and others forced to enter
into the formerly illegal federal system, which will heretofore not be
covered by government entitlements. Charities, churches, and the vast
good will of Americans will take care of those in true need. Also, the
federal government will have no say in whether or not a State has social
welfare. That is up to the citizens of the individual States. Trade
with other countries will be conducted so as to give the U.S. the best
possible position without infringing on the rights of either country's
citizens.
Energy - Energy will be of
paramount importance. This will be the one area that the federal
government must regulate. All Americans should receive fair prices for
all energy. Polluters will be prosecuted. Co-ops should be endorsed.
Decentralization must be implemented. Upon stripping millions of
dollars from companies like Enron, Shell, Du Pont, and others, we will
use the funds to research and develop renewable energy. ONLY WHEN THE
U.S. HAS RENEWABLE ENERGY AS OUR BACKBONE WILL WE BE TRULY FREE AND
MAXIMUMLY PROTECTED FROM OUTSIDERS.
State's Rights - All laws not
enumerated in the Bill of Rights will devolve to the states, counties,
and cities. This means that we will have 50 petri dishes, each with a
unique culture. Some State's will legalize abortion, or drugs, or
speeding. Some will not. The counties and cities will make
infrastructure decisions based on their geographic area. One State may
have high taxes and social welfare. Another may have a medium amount.
Still another may have no extra taxes or public services. The voters
will decide. This will allow a diverse choice of living for Americans.
Education - Education starts at
home. How and what the State's decide it is necessary for children to
learn will be their lot, and parents should take the initiative in
forming in their children lifelong learning habits. A decentralized
school system will insure that our children are not completely
brainwashed by one infiltrating force. Education is not a right granted
by the federal government. Education cannot be enforced. Trade
apprenticeships should be constructed in lieu of some education. Trades
and crafts should become a societal commodity, equal to academia.
Foreign Governments - Only those
foreign governments that try to impose their will, or state an intent to
do so, upon the U.S. will be considered an enemy. We will withdraw from
all foreign governments, especially the United Nations. If the United
Nations states as a policy the will to disarm America, we will take
actions up to and including warfare to change that policy. The U.N.
will not be allowed to function within our borders. Apply this to NATO
and all other "coalition" or world governing bodies. This does not mean
that we will not participate in world government on an ad hoc basis.
When a coalition has the same goals as America, we will help. If not,
then we will withdraw. Foreign embassies will be abolished, as history
shows they have been used as launching grounds for covert operations
against the United States. Ambassadors of friendly nations will be
welcomed for short times to negotiate trade relations. A uniform trade
policy should be constructed, to further alleviate the tendency for
favoritism.
Media - Freedom of speech shall not
be infringed. No less than five national channels will be allotted for
public use. The fees will be no more than actual base cost of airtime.
Standard Access Channel rules will apply to these five-plus channels;
including no advertising. Lies and slander should be punished
accordingly. Freedom of speech should be extended to including all
ideas; limits should be abolished, and boundaries erased. The sphere
for ideas is the World, the Universe, and beyond.
Other factors - Any native citizen
who does not wish to contract with America will be able to stay in the
country as a "stateless person." That man or woman will pay no taxes
and receive no benefits from government, including police. They will be
left alone UNLESS they break one of our laws. Any State who does not
wish to bind into this contract may secede from the Union without
contention.
Friends of the Republic, I hope that this may
guide our thoughts into the future. We do NOT want to go back to the
original Constitution, because it has helped lead us here in the first
place. We should adjust it enough to disallow for divergence from the Bill
of Rights. It should be remembered that these God-given rights were granted
to every man and woman, regardless of their nationality. They were here
before America, and they will be here after America is no more. However, a
United States Government is only to secure these freedoms for America, not
the World. Foremost, America should never, as a people or government, be
the country that takes these God-given rights from others. These rights are
universal spiritual law. The Bill of Rights has always been and will always
be inviolable. If we find a way to stick to it, we will never need to make
these decisions again.
