The $800 billion bailout bill will likely be approved by the Congress later this week despite heavy opposition. In a recent Rasmussen Poll, only seven percent of those polled supported the bailout!!! Such a robbing of the American people for the super-rich is utterly wrong and the greatest act in the past century to lean the country ever so closely to tyranny.
One sentence in the proposal tells it all, "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
Few seem to realize the immensity of the proposal.

End of Posse Comitatus
With the signing into law of the 2006 John Warner Defense Authorization Act, the century old Posse Comitatus vanished overnight, leaving Americans no longer secure in their homes and on the streets of their cities. Now, federal soldiers can patrol American neighborhoods and essentially control the movement of people in their hometowns simply by arbitrary orders given from above.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 strongly limits the Executive Branch. Its enumerations limit the President from sending in federal troops to restore order in event of lawlessness, insurrection, or rebellion. Now, the President is held to no bounds. His power is ever increasing and with it, the loss of the republic lays at stake.
It is time to forget phony debates about race and vacation homes, celebrities and celebrity preachers. The Executive is continually getting stronger and in no way does restraint appear on the horizon.

Paulson, Secretary of Treasury - The New Executive
Over the weekend. the executive branch came up with a stunning proposal to the nation's current economic crisis. As the US Treasury advocates the $800 billion dollar plan to Congress, many questions about the plan simple have not been asked or even considered by the mainstream media, especially with the sum making up the cost of what would be three more wars of Iraq-scale. With the proposed bill, the Paulson would become the decision maker for all appropriations delivered through Congress, essentially giving him the key to all of the money the federal government operates on. Paulson would practically become a second Executive Branch of himself without any accountability to the federal courts or Congress. With such a great power grab, Paulson would become America's new dictator.
Even more alarming, if the Fed prints $1 trillion out of thin air to pay for the painful mortgage crisis, just imagine the effect such an action would have on the US dollar. Already slipping from gold ($780/oz two weeks ago to $900/oz today), the US dollar is in serious danger of witnessing a major devaluation of the currency. Much like Central European nations in the 1950s when the Communist Party devalued currencies across the continent, the US citizens would be hit hard and all their assets once deemed untouchable would become in serious danger.
Such a serious and sweeping power of the legislation proves its deeply flawed and opportunist mold. In a plan to devalue the currency and send the American middle class scrambling for survival, the Treasury has now threatened our nation into financial crisis far behind what could have been even imaginable months ago. Paulson and his sadistic band of thieves must be stopped, before the strike decisively for the ultimate last grab.

Chuck Baldwin Speaks
Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Chuck Baldwin claims that if the two-One Party system continues, Americans face more loss of liberty and potentially a loss of their Republic.
Fed Pulls Money Out of Thin Air
Yesterday, Congressman Ron Paul (R) of Texas warned against the impending financial doom facing the nation. In an address hammering the nation's fiat currency based on debt, Paul slammed the Federal Reserve and the US Congress for their nationalization of the mortgage industry and clueless understanding of the current crisis.
Claiming that "we are in the middle of something very big," Paul warns against the secrecy behind the recent takeovers of Freddie, Fannie, and AIG. In a scheme where there is no congressional oversight and a deliberately destructive policy toward the US dollar, Dr. Ron Paul fears that further printing of greenbacks out of thin air will cause higher inflation and ultimately hurt the average American citizen.
Paul went on to say,
“The reason this is so important is that if you care about people in a humanitarian sense, what you want to do is protect the value of the money. Just think of the third world nations when they have total run away inflation, the middle class gets wiped out. And what we are seeing today is the middle class being jeopardized by this type of system that we have, unlimited spending, unlimited debt, unlimited creation of new credit.”
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada claims that simply "no one knows what to do." The level of incompetence echoes volumes.

The Stupidity of Celebrity
As America gears up for the insane but often inane rush of the 2008 elections season, most of the buzz on the streets completely misses the point. Instead of focusing of real issues that will deeply affect Americans for generations to come, like the US military empire and our current economic crisis, the candidates have unfortunately chosen to focus on the rather benign issues of gender, race, "leadership", and pop icon imagery to move the electorate.
Obama's campaign turned from a somewhat respectable young leader's bid for disarmament and a more liberal social environment in 2007, to a mess of war threats against Iran, tacit support for internationalist NAFTA and nationalization of the banking sector, and a continued support for the USA PATRIOT Act.
McCain, in his ever abysmal naive retrograde, has gone from a kind-hearted moderate who strongly opposes torture, to a hardline neo-conservative with an insatiable greed to tax, take away greater personal liberties, and center his campaign on the cultural divide and strife which has divided our nation since the end of Reagan's term. Far from the social liberal he once professed to be, he is a strong supporter of the underachieving and ineffective drug war, and a fear monger whose spiritual advisor mixes evangelical Christianity with Muslim-hating diatribes. Also, McCain's untenable policies of perpetual war certainly put the country at the crossroads on an ever dark road to the next decade.
As for the charade known as the Vice Presidential selections, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin are equally ashamedly slithering chameleon-types, with a propensity for changing attitudes, policies, and even images. Neither Biden, one of the main pursuants of the Iraq War or Palin, a neophyte self-ascribed "hockey mom" whose experience in economic and defense issues is a glaring red light of danger as McCain reaches his 73rd year, plan to give Americans any new slack. Palin's social policies are all the same despicable, and her utter disregard for the Constitution and innately secured rights of citizens is a scary trend for the future.
But, perhaps most disappointing this election season, the campaigns have put off talking about the real issues since the Party debates ended in late February, and have worked hard to distract Americans for the true problems staring each one in the face. McCain now associates with Paris Hilton, and Obama being no better, just raised over $10 million in the shallow and sticky pit of Hollywood. Even Hillary Clinton's extended alluding to Saturday Night Live skits during the debates got more attention the both Parties' stasi-state health care plan.
It is time the American people start asking the questions the media refuses to comprise in the national debate of the ages. Unfortunately, each side is more confused than ever on their own positions and philosophical beliefs, and ever more disinterested in genuinely helping our nation. It's time to leave the carnival circus that is the two party system behind and endear ahead for a new era of Enlightenment.
