FEDCON:
Death of the American Republic
Presented By F.A.C.T.S.
Other problems also plague this country just as much as drugs, and one of those problems is the failure of Federal government to allow the proper process in suits of law and equity.
Many States have no legal process available to the common people that allow them the right to sue, by jury trial, for amounts less than $250.00, and that is a violation of the 7th Article of the Bill of Rights.
In many States and places where this right is preserved the jury is the Judge and the costs associated with the suit are so prohibitive that most common people cannot afford the protection of a lawsuit to recover damages done to them. Common people that have experienced this first hand know that the odds are heavily stacked in favor of those that have the money and the power behind them.
Article VII for the most part is a well-intended protection for the common people, but really seems to protect those with money more than those who don't have any. As a result of that fact and of the massive "technical" reconstruction of this article by those in power, the masses of people have pretty well seen this basic human right taken away from them by those who have the money and make all of the rules.
Just how many more basic human rights of the people are to be lost before the people realize that they don't have that many rights left to be taken away from them? Laws are therefore used to protect the rich only and are to be used by the select few to benefit themselves and enslave the masses of people to the will of federalism.
A good example of class legislation aimed at enslaving the common people by the federalists and those with the money to do business, is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) enacted in 1938 by Congress, and updated within the last few years. When the act was originally passed it was done to prevent oppressive child labor and provide some standard of monetary means and regulation for the common worker. The recent revision of that act has entirely changed its obligation to the masses of people it is supposed to be protecting, and like income taxes has come to benefit and protect those that have the money. Once again it is the masses of common people that are the real losers.
For an individual to be given protection under FLSA rules the business must make at least $500,000 per year. This allows almost all businesses that make under that amount to use their employees as slaves if they so desire and there is nothing that the employee can do about it, because the Federal government is not going to help people who work for a business that makes under $500,000. This is a prime example of class legislation aimed at helping the first class while ignoring the plight of the masses of common people that work for those businesses.
In December 1997 the author of this book contacted the Albuquerque, New Mexico Federal Department of Labor, Hours and Wages, to file a complaint against an individual who had been working the author an average of 141 hours every two weeks on a commission basis. The individual the author had been working for decided to reduce the amount of commission being paid without telling him, which resulted in a wage per hour far less than the standard Federal minimum wage. The author was told by Federal authorities in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that he was not even entitled to the minimum wage let alone being entitled to any time and a half for hours worked over 40 hours per week, because his employer did not earn at least $500,000 per year. The authors former employer continues to buy expensive new equipment costing ten's of thousands of dollars and there is nothing the author can do to recover the money that is rightfully owed to him. Yes, slavery is alive and well in the United States and it is being promoted and encouraged by legislation and laws the Federal government enacts to further enslave the American people.
The current Fair Labor Standards Act is nothing more than a set of select laws created to protect and favor those in business, while ignoring protection to those working for those businesses. The current FLSA laws are promoting and allowing slavery to happen in violation of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, but this is nothing new for federalism and again serves to point out the fact that America has some very serious problems that need fixing - namely federalism!
The current FLSA Act is a good example of the types of legislation and laws that Congress passes to promote the control of the common people and shows that the majority of Congress is nothing more than a bunch of "yes men" for those with money and power. Congress in reality does very little to enact legislation and laws that benefit the masses of people in the United States or it would never have allowed the current FLSA laws to come into existence.
Sometimes even attempts are made to control the rich, either when they make to much money to fast, as with Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, or when they use their power of free speech to speak out against things that are wrong, as in the recent case with Oprah Winfrey. In both cases the Federal government continues to feel that these individuals are a threat to the structure of federalism and they must be made to comply and put under control.
Bill Gates continues to have problems with the Federal government over attempts to control the growth of his company Microsoft. The Federal government contends that Microsoft is gobbling up and dominating the computer software market, but the real issue revolves around the extreme and rapid financial growth of Bill Gates company, which threatens to destabilize federal control over how much money, an individual or corporation is allowed to make. Remember that federalists, through the Federal Reserve System, control the expansion of money and Microsoft has clearly expanded beyond what the federalists feel is a safe level.
If the Federal government feels that they have a problem with Microsoft taking over the computer market because of Microsoft's operating system dominance, then the government should address and fix that problem. The government could establish a Universal Computer Recognition and Addressing System that would basically solve the problem and once again open up the positive development of the computing industry. Bill Gates, on the other hand, should concern himself with the competition compatibility of his operating software programs, and with real customer support solutions to those of us that are poor and have to use his software programs.
The trial in February 1998 of Oprah Winfrey should never have been allowed to go to trial, but it was more important to the federalists to show her just who was in control. Fortunately for Oprah and for America she won her right to Freedom of Speech, but it came at an enormous financial and emotional drain to her. Had this been someone of a lesser standing it is very doubtful whether they would have won in court, as they probably would not have had the financial resources available to them to adequately defend their rights.
In the American system of justice, all of the people should be able to stand before the courts on an equal and fair basis, but it is those with the money are that are able to stand more equally before the courts. In a true "republic" this inequity of justice would not exist, as all would be equally represented before the courts.
When an individual like Oprah Winfrey is able to come under such an easy attack by the powers of federalism, over the issue of free speech, then just think what the Federal government is doing to the masses of people in America. Let the problems of Bill Gates and the legal case of Oprah Winfrey serve as a warning to all Americans, that the honeymoon between the Federal government and the people is over and has been over for a long time. The Federal government's job is to beat up and force all the people of America into submission, just like a cruel husband does to his wife. The Federal government does not care about the common people and it does not matter what the cost to the masses of people in America is, because all that matters is federalist domination.
For those looking for further proof that federalism is corrupt beyond all bounds of reason need to look no further than the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. In order for Congress to get this amendment ratified they had to throw out, by Federal military force, most of the members of State Legislatures in the Southern States and replace them with members that would ratify the 14th Amendment. The same thing happened for the 15th Amendment and there is also some speculation that the 13th Amendment also had to be ratified under force of military intervention by the Federal government. More information on this subject can be found by reading 439 Pacific Reporter 2nd Series, pages 266-276 of the Utah Supreme Court and another excellent source of information on this same subject can be found in 11 S.C.L.Q. 484 and 28 Tul. L. Rev.22.
There are members of Congress that will deny to the American people that they pass class legislation and other laws that are arbitrary, but they will not be able to deny this next action on their part as it is one of the most flagrant and arbitrary things ever done by Congress, and shows to the American people just how much disregard they have for the basic human rights of the people, and especially that of the rights of women.
Women need wonder no longer as to why they are treated the way they that they are in the United States, as women literally have no equal rights in the United States thanks to the actions of Congress and other "good old boys" in places of power.
In 1972 Congress approved a proposal to add an equal rights amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would have given women an equal footing compared to that of their male counterparts. This proposal was almost an exact duplicate of a proposition made by Congress in 1923, except this time the proposal made it through both houses of Congress and was presented to the states for their ratification. If ratified this proposal would have become the 27th Amendment to the Constitution and would have secured for women the equal rights that they are currently lacking and so badly in need of. It read as follows:
Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
By 1977 thirty-four of the necessary thirty-eight States had ratified the proposal, but Congress had thrown a silent clause into the proposed amendment in 1972 that would doom it to certain failure. The proposed amendment must be ratified within a seven-year time span or it would no longer be valid and would be removed from the States for ratification. Yet nowhere in the proposed amendment was there any language establishing the seven-year time limit for ratification as it was found in other proposed amendments.
The "good old boys" in control quickly went to work to see to it that no more States would ratify this proposed amendment to make women equal with men. After all, women had their place in society, and that was as third class citizens, and that position was not going to be improved upon, especially if it made women equal with men. Those familiar with the Bible know the place of women well, it is to be obedient to the will of men at all times, the same philosophy of the federalist "good old boys."
For whatever reasons, Congress extended the seven-year deadline for ratification to June 30, 1982, but this would still not be enough time, and the amendment would fail the ratification process in the several States that held out and would not ratify the proposed Women's Rights amendment. This seven-year time limit for ratification of a constitutional amendment was an act of Congress that was condoned by the Federal courts, but it serves as an excellent example of the arbitrary manner in which decisions are made by Congress that are not in the best interests of the masses of people in America. In this case it turned out to be an arbitrary decision that still holds women back from equality in the job place, especially in the area of promotions and pay.
Here is why the seven-year time limit to ratify an amendment is an arbitrary act of Congress. On September 25, 1789 Congress proposed to the 13 States at that time, the following amendment which was part of the original 12 amendments being proposed as the Bill of Rights.
Section 1. No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.
In early 1992 Congress underhandedly sent that long dead proposed amendment out to all of the 50 States to be ratified and on May 18, 1992 the Archivist of the United States declared that proposed and antiquated article to be the 27th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Since the amendment was originally proposed in 1789, the seven-year time limit earlier imposed by Congress had long since expired that amendment to its death, but through an arbitrary and illegal decision of Congress the amendment that had died 203 years earlier was brought back to life by them. Who said Congress couldn't resurrect things from the dead; after all, they are God's aren't they? At least that appears to be the manner in which they are acting and conducting themselves.
If equality and women's rights had really meant anything to Congress and those in power, they would have kept the ratification process open for women's rights by not putting an arbitrary and silent time limit on the proposed amendment. Since they were really never in favor of the proposed amendment giving women equal rights in the first place, Congress and those in power saw to it that the proposed women's rights amendment never made it through the ratification process. Women having an equal status as men would have severely damaged the federalist "Oligarchy" style of government, which is primarily a patriarchal (male-based) system of rulership within government.
Surrendering power to anyone or anything that they feel is beneath them has not been a trait of federalism, and if the common people were not going to be given any power then women most certainly were even lower on the list than the concerns of the common people.
Congress does whatever they arbitrarily want to do, and more often than not they disregard their own previous actions, rules, and laws that they themselves established. How can a President or any member of Congress or the Federal government say that America is a "republic," when they are themselves a total contradiction to what they are supposed to be?
America is supposedly a country of laws and justice that is unequaled in the world, but it appears that the present Federalist America is more of a contradiction of what it is supposed to be rather then what it is. Our country has become a place for the weak minded of the world to come to and escape their own cowardice to become part of the greater problem of what our real American ancestors had tried to prevent in the first place. This is perfect for the federalists, because they like stupid and weak-minded slave's as they are the best kind to have working for them. They don't complain and best of all they and their offspring don't get involved in government affairs because they were taught to fear government and above all, never to get involved and to question government!
The masses of people in America must either start making the correct choices with courage, which will start freeing them from their slavery, or be willing to accept their continued cowardice and/or avoidance of the truth and the facts, and start accepting their bondage to slavery gratefully. Time has just about run its course with the masses of people that do not want to get involved with straightening out their government, as the next type of America being planned for the people will be even more cruel and harsh then the current one. It was a joke some 50 years ago to carry on about the "big brother" notion of government, and many movies and writers did indeed poke fun at this notion, but in 1998 that notion is no longer a laughing matter, as "big brother" is indeed becoming a very scary reality.
Some recent news stories in the Spring of 1998, have suggested that some corporations and the Federal government have proposed the immigration of more people into this country with the required technical skills to fill technical job positions in America that are currently unfilled. What is wrong with not allowing more immigration and educating the people already here to fill those job positions? We should learn how to take care of our own first and then worry about the immigration of more blind and obedient slaves into America. Corrupt and one sided legislation and laws mostly benefiting the select few, like this immigration legislation, is ruining the economy and general welfare of the masses of people in this country.
Laws are necessary only when they are appropriate and used equally. When laws become unnecessary and inappropriate for the time, and when they are used to benefit only a select few, then any government imposing such laws are outside all boundaries of the common good of the masses of people they are supposed to be serving. When that happens, it is up to the people to bring their government back into the perspective of what the government is intended to be, and it is the people's duty to reestablish a government that will benefit all of the people. America needs only the laws that are necessary and appropriate to bring about the balance and harmony that is required of peace and tranquility for the rest of the world.
If America wants to lead the way for the rest of the world then America needs a true "republic" as its form of government, where even the least among the people can hold office, and where women and men share equally the duties of governing, and where there is no ethnic or religious division.
Ethnic, sexual, and religious division separates most of the world today and separates most people in America as well. When people from all walks of life start learning how to live together without those divisions of sex, religion and race, then we can say we are truly a country of the free with liberty for all. Until that time, the people of America and the world will remain the slaves of federalism and of their own desires to place material things above the worth of human social advancement.
Federalism promotes the social problems we as a people are having, because keeping the people separated by the lie of sex, religion and race allows federalists the opportunity they need to maintain control of the slaves they need to make the money and maintain the power they desire.
So just who benefits from the majority of laws passed by Federal government? It is the federalists and their rich and affluent friends who gain the benefits, and it is the common people that bear the weight of those unfair and unjust laws passed by Federal government.
America was in the midst of the Great Depression, which started in October 1929, when Herbert Hoover was starting his Presidency. The depression had been brought on by the federalist's overindulgence, both in England and the United States, for money and power. Over $40,000,000,000 (Billion) dollars in currency (paper money - notes) value was lost on that fateful day in October. The federalist money powers worldwide had been hard hit as well as the federalists in America, and although the American's were hit hard themselves they viewed the depression as only a minor setback. After all, the federalists had one of their own heading up the United States as President, Herbert C. Hoover, and that meant big money would remain in power and control.
The times immediately following the stock market crash were extremely cruel and harsh for the common people and starvation was the order of the day for many people. By 1930 six to seven million people were officially out of work and others that were working had their salaries and hourly wages severely cut in order in keep their measly jobs. As the depression worsened more and more bread lines started sprouting up, but it wasn't the Federal government or the big money people feeding them, it was the common people working together and the smaller businesses that were saving the day for the poor and starving of this country.
While the rich were still eating caviar and having dinner parties in fancy clothes the common people, in many cases wearing rags for clothes, were digging through the garbage and doing whatever else they could do to stay alive. Veterans of World War I were especially infuriated at the government and the rich over the depression and lack of concern that was being shown to them by the government. In 1932 ten's of thousands of ex-soldiers and others supporting them descended on Washington, DC and set up squatters camps on the public malls, and then they demanded their just rights from the Federal government.
Enter President Hoover, friend of federalism and no lover of the demands of the common people and especially those camped out in Washington, DC. President Hoover, in response to the protesters invading Washington, has General Douglas MacArthur brought to the White House and thereupon orders him to evict the squatters by military force. MacArthur orders out the Federal troops with bayonets fixed and attacks the squatters settlements, flinging tear gas into the masses of people within the camps as they advance. As a result of the attacks on the ex-soldiers by Federal troops, hundreds of people are injured and even some are killed.
Another place and another time brings about another chilling incident of federalist lawlessness, that will for a time etch itself into the memories of the people. The masses of people in America are not happy with the escalating war in Southeast Asia and are protesting the Vietnam war across the country, and this angers President Nixon and other federalists, especially those that are involved with the fast developing Military-Industrial Complex in the United States. On May 4, 1970 at Kent State University in Ohio, approximately 1,000 students had gathered to protest the war in Vietnam. As the protest grew and word hit Washington a call was made and Ohio National Guard troops were sent to Kent State to break up the protests. With their usual blind zeal for justice, the Federal troops loaded their rifles and opened fire on the crowd of young protesters, and twelve people were struck down by the barrage of wild and uncontrolled gunfire. Four people died as a result of the gunfire while eight others were wounded.
This is the type of law and justice that the common people can expect from the powers of federalism, and as long as federalism is allowed to remain in power, then this is the type of reaction to protest of wrongs done to the masses of people that can be expected from Federal government. Submission by violence and force is all that federalism knows, and those in power could care less if innocent people are maimed or killed in the process of bringing those people under control that disagree with them. This is just like the government that our forefathers fought to get rid of in 1776. If you don't believe this then you had best go back and research the Revolutionary time period a little more closely.
On August 8, 1974 President Richard M. Nixon resigned as President of the United States rather than face Impeachment, but the possibility of felony criminal prosecution against him was still lingering over his head. The following day, the 9th of August, Gerald R. Ford becomes the 38th President of the United States and shortly thereafter grants a full pardon to Richard M. Nixon for any crime that he may have ever committed. Nixon, a Republican, is able to escape any form of prosecution for his criminal behavior due to the actions of President Ford.
Gerald R. Ford had become the Vice-President to President Nixon after Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew resigned his position, rather than be tried and impeached by Congress for being found Guilty of Taking a Bribe. Gerald R. Ford will always be known as the President that let the potentially criminal President Nixon off the hook for crimes he should have been tried for. Facts are facts, and this shows the excellent manner in which the select few never oppress themselves, which is one of the trademark traits of federalism.
It is true that the select few never do oppress themselves and that federalism is clearly the most contributing factor into that equation. There is too much negative evidence mounting up against federalism and it is evidence that shows it is repeating itself time after time throughout the history of America. The closer that federalism is looked at in American government, and the more into focus that things become; the more Federal government is appearing to be greatly less than the government "We the People" were guaranteed, and are expected to have by virtue of the original intent of our forefathers and the Constitution and Bill of Rights, that they left in perpetuity to all the people of the United States of America.
As a nation and as a world community "We the People" need to become more of a part of our governments if we are to ever put Justice back into the Law. When the voices of the masses of people are not fairly and equally represented within government, as it is in America, there can be no "republic," there can only be the lawlessness of federalism and the oppression of the people by those in power.
