In medieval times it was not out of the ordinary for the Catholic Church to allow selected persons exemptions from moral law. Higher ranking members were allowed “privileges” that would never be tolerated when done by ordinary church subjects. These exemptions were issued at the sole, unaccountable discretion of the Catholic Church, regardless of any conflict with the founder of the Church, Jesus Christ. A monopoly on morality being very lucrative, Catholicism even created the market for moral exemptions, or Indulgences, for sins.
Today, we at the government have taken your sense of patriotism, and twisted it to grant ourselves the same moral authority possessed by the medieval Catholic Church. We’ve even got you people vigorously defending our right to do whatever we want to you. You never tolerate illegal kidnapping and torture when done by your next door neighbor; many parents live in fear of such happening to their children. You same people cheer us on as we, with no accountability whatsoever, extraordinarily rendition people to be tortured, or simply kill them. You go to great lengths to demonize the likes of Ted Bundy and others, but when the kidnappers have our Federal Blessing, you enthusiastically defend their actions. Your “patriotic” cries for “justice” against those we deem evil are not dampened in the slightest by your own knowledge of our disregard for our laws, Constitution, and moral principles. We have made our continued killing too important to you.
Consider our own drone strikes in Pakistan. The Brookings Institute has USA drone strikes killing an estimated 10 civilians for every one militant as the running average. Imagine if the Taliban was still at war with Russia, and Russia determined that Taliban members were hiding out in Florida. Consider your reaction if Russia, without permission, or even informing the USA, began bombing the Floridian neighborhoods in which these Taliban suspects reside with full knowledge of the resulting innocent casualties. This would be considered an atrocity and an act of war. We at the US government do the same to Pakistan every day, and lose no sleep over the lives of those innocent Pakistanis. We do such under our own Federal Blessing, so our actions cannot possibly be wrong on moral, ethical, or any other grounds. Our consciences are clear.
The American Indians defended themselves against an aggressive, invading force. They had been labeled “evil” by us in government, and our assaults against them labeled “good.” After exerting our moral authority to steal their land, the justice of the Indian cause became irrelevant. This is how we running the USA were able to pull off what is arguably the world’s greatest and most successful holocaust with no significant resistance on moral or humanitarian grounds.
We can even grant ourselves the moral authority to exempt ourselves, or remove our moral exemption retroactively. Consider the case of the Japanese American in the 40’s. Japanese Americans were kidnapped, had their homes confiscated, and placed in detention camps by us at the government. This would have been viewed as horrifically unjust if done by anyone acting without our Federal Blessing (imaging the public outcry if Boeing attempted this), but we met little resistance after exempting ourselves from moral law. To buy more of your loyalty we retroactively removed our Federal Blessing on this specific act. Today it is viewed as a horrible injustice because and only because we Feds removed our Blessing. You people view the treatment of Japanese Americans in the 40’s as an injustice entirely due to our removal of our Blessing.
We’ve begun to delegate Blessing authority to increasingly low levels. Here, Mr. Richard Barnes refused to allow one of our government employees to enter his home. Mr. Barnes reasoned that he had some mythical right to refuse entry to a government employee who did not have a warrant. When the government employee tried to force his way into Barnes’ home, Barnes demonstrated his extreme anti Americanism by going so far as to push the officer. The Indiana State Supreme Court, taking care of its own in government, said "We hold that there is -no right- to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers.” Regardless of that fact that Unlawful Entry is a crime, Barnes will be the one punished for his insubordination to the government.
Nazi Germany delegated such authority to its SS officers and Gestapo. We at the US Government are not far behind.
The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty

You People are the Government's Cattle
You people think you are free. You study American history and learn how your forefathers fought against an oppressive king and won their freedom. You may even read their warnings about guarding freedom, about how the domestic government can slowly erode liberty while the people don’t even notice. I have news for you; it has already happened. We at the government have already assumed ownership of your bodies, and, even better for us, we rent them back to you for quite a bit of cash.
Income tax. It’s the law, the law we made to claim a right to assume ownership of a percentage of your income forever. “How can there be a law that gives one person or organization the right to take money from other persons and organizations without their consent?” You may ask. Easy, we at the government exercise such a high degree of control over you that it is in effect a claim of ownership on you, much like a master / slave relationship. In terms of medicine, food and water, etc., we control what you put in your bodies, where and how you travel, what you learn and are taught to believe in our schools, what sorts of medical care you are allowed to access, etc etc. We publicly subject you to gross personal violations that would NEVER be tolerated if done by someone other than your owners. Our ownership of you is further evidenced by your acceptance of the high degree of control we exercise over you; you don’t ever think to assert that we have no right to treat you as we do. If we own you, without question we also own your earnings.
If you do not pay the tax debt we assign to you we will send our IRS agents to help you pay. They will help you by confiscating your money, income, property, and even future earnings. The proceeds will be credited to your tax liability. If this looting is not sufficient to collect the debt our laws assign to you, we will simply repossess “your” body by placing you in one of our prisons. If you do not pay whatever price we demand to rent and enjoy the use of “your” body, you cannot have it. You see, we really do own you. You belong to us. We have room for millions of you in our prisons.
If we assume a high degree of control over you, and can forcefully place you in our custody if you do not pay whatever price we demand, well, doesn’t that sound like an owner renting his property to a lessee? We at the government assumed ownership of your bodies and you were completely oblivious. We did the same thing to your homes, and, of course, you didn’t notice that either, much less stand up for yourselves.
Another view is that freedom is a commodity that we at the government monopolize, and rent to you people for profit. Take your pick, it’s a win win for us at the government.

TSA to America: “Shut Up and Spread Your Legs.”
This entry serves as an announcement to the American general public. We at the government, specifically TSA, are going to be conducting much more thorough checks of you people seeking commercial air transportation. Many of you will not like the more personal searches, but we don’t care. We at the government have decided to proceed without your consent. We have offered you a choice, you can choose between being viewed naked by us or having us give you a thorough pat down, necessarily including breast and genital fondling. You have no further say over how we search your bodies; your obligation is to comply and continue believing it is for your own good. We don’t expect much resistance from you people.
You should have made a few changes in preparation by now. Consider the lesson you used to teach your children. It went something like: “Nobody can touch or see your private area except for the family doctor we choose.” Now you should be responsible parents and prepare your children for exposure to our TSA employees. Consider a more fitting lesson: “Remember, only the doctor and government employees can touch or see your private area, and saying no to a government employee can get you, Mommy or Daddy thrown in jail.” If you don’t think your 8 year old son or 13 year old daughter needs to choose between being viewed naked by us or having one of us feel your child’s breasts and genitals, you are going to have to be a good little American and get over it. Just looked what we did to this man when he protested. He was very lucky. We might not have caught a terrorist yet, but we have caught thousands of you people not complying with us. It’s going to get much worse for you if you people resist.
You Americans would never allow anyone in a mall, sidewalk, or other public place to freely place others under duress in order to feel their breasts and genitals for any reason; you would immediately call on us at the government to remove that person. We have conditioned you to not only accept, but welcome that same sexual assault as long as it is carried out by us at the government. We have trained you to not only allow, but thank us as we take liberties with your bodies that many would consider offensive even to discuss, and you believe we do this for your own good. In fact, according to our in house poll most of you invite the oppression. The “men” of America will even surrender their wives and daughters to be viewed naked or fondled by us as we see fit with little to no resistance. Consider this disloyal woman's paraphrased statement: “For a sane person in a sane country, the following statement should be true ‘My freely chosen bedmates and doctors are the only ones allowed to see my naked body or touch my genitalia.’ Wrong. You people no longer have the right to such dignity and respect here in the USA. This woman might talk big and tough behind the internet, but I guarantee when we tell her to shut up and spread her legs, she’ll fall right in line with the rest of you good little Americans. You people always do, it’s the American way. I guess chivalry really is dead, thanks to us.
Here’s a question for you; what kind of a man knowingly surrenders his own daughter to one of us government workers to be molested, standing by passively even as her private parts are fondled while she screams “Daddy Daddy, please help me!” Punch line: an American man. I speak only to you men when I say you gutless cowards will be lining up to hand over your wives and daughters in our airports, it will happen hundreds of time each day across our USA. You had better start explaining to your children that we government employees are allowed to touch their private parts whenever we want; it will make the whole thing a lot less dramatic.
There is nothing wrong with us treating you as such because we are both immune and exempt from your morality and laws, even those laws intended to prevent sexual assault. Your bodies are in effect our bodies. It is you who have no right to not allow us to see you naked or fondle you. It does not matter if sexual molestation by our TSA employees causes psychological harm to your children lasting decades into adulthood. We are immune from any and all legal consequences and will not be deterred. If your child is damaged by our screening process, it is very likely because you poisoned your child’s mind against the United States government. In such a case we may have your states Child Protective Services consider whether or not you are fit to be parents.
It doesn’t matter to you if TSA background checks are not adequate or incomplete when employment begins. You do not care if those hands on your loved ones body could be those of a sex offender. We know it doesn’t matter to you because you will still choose to submit to our authority as government employees. What occupation could possibly be more appealing to a pedophile or sex offender?
Hear this warning; we will not tolerate any of you spouting off about your rights under the constitution. We are not interested in your rants about unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant. We do not care if you think allowing four ounces of unidentified fluid per traveler times four accomplices equates to one pound of explosives slipping right under our noses; WE are the professionals. Your idiocy does not deter us, and can get you fined or thrown in jail. Consider that the majority of Americans want us at the government to exercise our right to intimately search anyone and everyone we want. We took our oaths as federal employees to support and defend our constitution, not you, so you will leave the constitution to us.
Never before have there been a people more difficult to control, more resistant to tyranny than early Americans. Never before have a people been more easily submitted, controlled, and dominated than you modern Americans. This unprecedented change we’ve made in your minds over just 234 years is a testament to our amazing success at the government. And we did it all while convincing you that you’re still free!!
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The Constitution Says Whatever Our Judges Say It Says
The Constitution of the United States; it’s what “constitutes” the United States. It is America. It’s also ours. We have the authority and precedence to interpret the US Constitution however we want. There’s nothing you can do about it, our judges are on our side. Any defendant or juror who stands up to us may find himself fined or jailed for contempt of court.
Judges are our last and final safeguard against constitutional restrictions on our power such as jury nullification, and they are quite effective. Jurors will convict anyone we direct them to under threat of contempt, the accompanying indefinite confinement is a powerful motivating tool at our disposal. You cowardly people always cave under our threats, handing the accused over to us to save your own necks even though you know they do not deserve prison. Just look what we did to Irwin Schiff. Even if you are on our side of the Schiff trial, you can clearly see that Judge Kent Dawson did not allow Schiff a fair trial. Judge Dawson is one of us and working for us, not you. We at the government own the jurors. We just keep the jury system in place because you people fall for the illusion of the freedom and protection it offers. It keeps you compliant and in line, and, when we accuse you of a crime and disallow your defense, will keep the rest of your peers on our side. They will believe you deserve however many years of prison we dictate.
Through our judges we at the government are able to have our way with you people. Here is a judge who ordered a 15 year old girl by the name of Linda Kay Spitler to be sterilized like a dog without her knowledge or consent. The judge, Judge Harold D. Stump, enjoys complete and eternal immunity from any and all legal retribution for his act, as do all participating parties.
Do you really think we want you to own arms? Do you think we want you to act as constitutionally informed jurors and interfere with our conviction ambitions? Why on earth would we want you to be exempt from our surveillance? Do we really want to be held back by an obsolete piece of paper? Just give it some time and our steady erosion of what is left of your freedoms will finish off the aforementioned scrap of paper.
Your USA may once have been the “land of the free, home of the brave,” but now it is the land of the coerced, because of the cowardly. And it is now our USA, not yours. If you think you are free, take a look around you. We Feds control everything of consequence.
The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they may please. It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent, is absolute also; in theory only, at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice, as fast as that relaxes.
- Thomas Jefferson

We're Building An Economic Iron Curtain Around the USA
“No, this isn’t the USSR, we’re a free country, remember, it’s ‘the land of the free?’ Nobody can tell people in a free country what to do with their own money.” That’s right, we taught you in our schools that America is a free country, so, no matter what happens here, you will always be free if you are in America. Go on keep believing it. It doesn’t matter that in 2000 presidential candidate John Kerry ran on, among other things, setting up what was in effect an economic Iron Curtain. Now, our own Senator Carl Levin has taken it a step further and is pursuing individual Americans, that’s right, you people, for the same thing. And he’s leading our assault against your few remaining freedoms.
Here is what we have to say about you Americans who fail to tell us what you are doing with your own money by filling out our Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR):
Those required to file an FBAR who fail to properly file a complete and correct FBAR may be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000 per violation for nonwillful violations that are not due to reasonable cause. For willful violations, the penalty may be the greater of $100,000 or 50 percent of the balance in the account at the time of the violation, for each violation.
That’s right, we assigned ourselves the right to take $10,000 or more of your money EACH time you don’t report your foreign holdings to us on the form we dictate. No, it doesn’t matter if you simply didn’t know about our requirement. NO, you Mexican Americans who maintain a bank account in Mexico are NOT free to just quietly keep this money in Mexico. NO, you are not free to invest your money through a foreign brokerage without telling us about the funds. It doesn’t matter if the US dollar and economy are slowly collapsing and you feel a need to safeguard your earnings for the sake of your family, you must go down with the ship. You MUST disclose your holdings to us at the government as soon as the balance exceeds our threshold, otherwise we will come after you for breaking our laws. One more thing, between you and us, guess who gets to decide if your failure to file was willful or not???
We presume you guilty unless and until you can prove your innocence. Our laws assume each and every foreign asset you own is intended to launder crime proceeds or hide money from our IRS, and we treat you appropriately. "Innocent until proven guilty" may be in your constitution, but that's never stopped us before. Soon, we’ll be going after that timeshare in Mexico or the Bahamas.
We Feds have not yet implemented hard exchange controls in the USA, but we anticipate our latest step, FATCA, coming close to achieving the same effect. With FATCA implementation underway bringing you Americans under our greater control is not a far off goal. We are hard at work making this dream a reality.
No, it is not too late, you can still legally send money offshore. Many of you are stashing your money outside of the USA in more sound economies to escape the increasing currency and economic weakness here, but soon we’ll stop you. You should have no right to buy CDs denominated in stronger foreign currencies, or stocks in companies that earn their revenue in stronger currencies. We cannot monitor each and every transaction you make from your foreign accounts, so you should have no right. In Nazi Germany ownership of foreign accounts was punishable with death. Soon we’ll change the laws to prevent you from sending money offshore, but for now we are forced to tolerate the few of you with foresight. Doesn’t matter, we’ll trap enough of you in our net soon enough.

How We Ripped You Off With Inflation Part II
Saving up for a new car, home improvement, or college for your children? Have you noticed you’re not making much progress against rising prices? That’s because we tax those savings of yours. Heavily. No, not just the interest, but each and every individual dollar you own. Better rev up your savings plan.
When we at the government decide to print some money to spend we increase the total number of dollars that exist. Supply and demand dictate that when you increase the quantity of anything, its value goes down. Those new dollars that we print and spend get 100% of their value from demand for dollars that already exist, including your dollars. A little bit of the demand for the dollars in your savings migrates from your dollars to our new dollars, and with that demand goes value. Your dollars lose value, ours gain value. You’re none the wiser. If we print and spend enough money to increase the total number of dollars in circulation by 5%, your dollars will, in time, lose 5% of their value. You see this in the form of higher prices, or inflation, as businesses need 5% more dollars to pay their suppliers, rent, etc., and they pass on the higher costs to you. See the graph near the top of this page to see how much money our partners at the Federal Reserve have created for us to spend and add to circulation lately. Don’t worry, it can take a few years for our new dollars to work their way into circulation and erode the value of your cash. For us, the benefit is immediate!!
Now, if you have bonds, savings, certificates of deposits, money market accounts, tax lien certificates, or ANY other financial instrument with a fixed dollar value, it will lose value. Your annuity, pension, or other fixed income instrument may never fail to pay you the amount intended, but whether or not that monthly amount comfortably covers your monthly expenses or barely gets you through two weeks is another question. That is why counterfeiting (for anyone besides us) is illegal. Only we at the government are allowed to steal the value of your property. We at the government have printed quite a bit of money lately (see above link).
We sell our own treasury debt to you people, taking your money from you while you smile. Of course we’ll pay you back, but in the mean time we’ll print up some money. The dollars we pay you back with will be worth less, maybe much less than the dollars we took from you. This is usually true even after you add in the interest you collected. By the way, we may decide you owe us income tax on that interest.
We tax you heavily by printing money, or “quantitative easing,” as we have come to call it to hide what we are really doing. Jonny’s never going to college; you cannot save fast enough to keep up with the rising tuition costs we cause. You’re not going to beat our stealth taxation. We do, however, enjoy taking his tuition money, so by all means please keep trying. Can I offer you some risk free Treasury Bills??

When we at the government decide to print some money to spend we increase the total number of dollars that exist. Supply and demand dictate that when you increase the quantity of anything, its value goes down. Those new dollars that we print and spend get 100% of their value from demand for dollars that already exist, including your dollars. A little bit of the demand for the dollars in your savings migrates from your dollars to our new dollars, and with that demand goes value. Your dollars lose value, ours gain value. You’re none the wiser. If we print and spend enough money to increase the total number of dollars in circulation by 5%, your dollars will, in time, lose 5% of their value. You see this in the form of higher prices, or inflation, as businesses need 5% more dollars to pay their suppliers, rent, etc., and they pass on the higher costs to you. See the graph near the top of this page to see how much money our partners at the Federal Reserve have created for us to spend and add to circulation lately. Don’t worry, it can take a few years for our new dollars to work their way into circulation and erode the value of your cash. For us, the benefit is immediate!!
Now, if you have bonds, savings, certificates of deposits, money market accounts, tax lien certificates, or ANY other financial instrument with a fixed dollar value, it will lose value. Your annuity, pension, or other fixed income instrument may never fail to pay you the amount intended, but whether or not that monthly amount comfortably covers your monthly expenses or barely gets you through two weeks is another question.

How We Ripped You Off With Inflation Part I
Don’t worry; inflation over the last 10 years has been very low, according to our official government numbers. Yes, it is true; we have tinkered with the formula we use to come up with the ultra low inflation rate over the years. We actually started making small changes to our method of calculating inflation around 1980. We found that if we manipulated and substituted certain figures like the price increase in food and energy (including gasoline), we could produce a much lower inflation figure!!! Note the comparison between the inflation rates we at the government published vs. the inflation rates over the same time period using the original formula from 1980. It’s made us all kinds of your money.
Why would we do this? How do we make money doing this? Well, for one, all of you people on Social Security, your benefits are pegged to inflation. If we say inflation is 2%, but it is actually 6%, you only get one third of the raise you should be getting. We get away with giving you a smaller raise every year, and the cumulative effect of this since 1980 is that you should be getting at least double what you are getting now. Consider it a 50% tax paid to us on top of the tax we already subject you to. Are you on welfare, unemployment, or some other entitlement program? Same story, you get a smaller raise each year and we keep the difference.
Now consider those of you paying Social Security or income tax to us. The tax brackets are adjusted for inflation every year. If inflation is 4%, but we decide to figure it at 2%, guess what? We only adjust them upwards by 2%, and many more of you move up into higher tax brackets. The cumulative effect of this since 1980 is mountains of your money for us that we were never meant to have.
Do you have something to sell, a stock, or maybe a property that you have held onto for many years? Is it more valuable than when you bought it? Let’s say you bought it in 2000, and sold it in 2010 for a 20% capital “gain,’ or 20% more dollars than your purchase price. As shown at the site above, the true inflation rate was about 60% from 2000 to 2010, but our published inflation rate was roughly 30% for the same time period. Had the value of your asset not changed, it would be worth 60% more dollars, but its value actually dropped, it just didn’t drop as fast as money. Despite this real loss of value, we assign a capital gains tax you. Our law demands that you pay us tax on your “gain,” that is in reality a loss – a loss even when using our own phony inflation figures!! We don’t care if you are paying capital gains tax on your losses. We will still take our cut from you. It doesn’t matter if many other countries allow their citizens to subtract inflation from capital gains, we do not, and we will not. Imagine how much money we have made over the years!! Imagine how much we could make if we printed money even faster (causing higher inflation) while keeping the official inflation rate very low! See how much you thought you made but didn't!!
What we get is more of your money, and what you get is less of our money.
Yes, our partners at the Federal Reserve have printed us a lot of money lately. This is how we funded the recent bailouts. See the Federal Reserves own chart showing the monetary base over time near the top of this site. When this money works its way into circulation and manifests its extraordinary inflationary effects, think of us, and how much more of your money we’ll be making.
No, the Ron Paul types will not stop us. Too many of you don't even realize what we are doing, much less how to protect yourselves. The duping and fleecing of you Americans is laughably easy; it's become our hobby.
