America’ Pending Constitutional Crisis

            The exculpating national debt is frightening! It puts every aspect of American life at risk. Yet, the liberals in government keep spending irresponsibly.  The conservatives attempt cutting federal programs and bureaucracy. The two political parties are at loggerheads, leaving an impasse/ stalemate. 

Blog Update

About three weeks ago my satellite modem burnt out during an electrical storm and I lost internet access. Following that time I have been shopping for a new service and a used modem, which has kept me from posting here. I have a new one on the way and should be posting again by the first of July. Thanks for your support.

If there is a piece of news you may have come across that is important to the repeal effort please post it in the comments of this post.

Senate Gives More Power To Federal Reserve

Because who better to issue price controls for debit card access than the Federal Reserve? These people are insane.

Senators led by Richard Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who pushed to include the fee caps in the Dodd-Frank Act, turned back the proposed delay Wednesday in a 54-45 vote that left the amendment six short of the 60 needed for approval.


"We should let the Federal Reserve issue this rule," Durbin said before the vote. "If more needs to be done, I'm on board, but the notion that we can't even trust the Federal Reserve to come up for a rule on this is just plain unfair."

A few more frustrating details:

The provision requiring the Fed to set fair debit card fees was included in last year's financial overhaul law by a 64-33 Senate vote and was written by Durbin. There was no separate House vote on the issue.

There was no separate House vote because Dodd-Frank was passed by a process known as reconciliation, which means that a committee wrote the final bill that the President signed without either the House or Senate having to pass the actual legislation.

How can you fight against this kind of blatant corruption?

The effects of the bill were predictable. Price controls cause shortages:

San Francisco's Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc., the world's biggest payment networks, dropped the most since Dec. 16 after the vote. Visa fell 3.11 percent to $76.71 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, after falling as low as $74.37. MasterCard declined 1.53 percent to $270 after reaching a low of $258.34. Shares of U.S. banks also slipped.


The Fed now has until July 21 to implement the final rule on capping the fees, which accounted for more than $16 billion in 2009, according to the Fed.

Don't worry about our politicians, though. They'll always have access to the credit and banking system they want. They just want to prevent the people from having that access.

Giving yet more power to the Federal Reserve through a transparently corrupt process, yet another reason to repeal the 17th Amendment.

Remember this, "I did nothing 'inappropriate' in airport bathroom"

Do you remember this little quote, "I did nothing 'inappropriate' in airport bathroom." That was another sex scandal that rocked the media cycle back in 2007. Amazingly, these are the very people legislating us.

But the truth of the matter it's all part of the smoke and mirrors to keep us from focusing our attention on the real problems like taxpayer funded banker bailouts that lined the bankers pockets worldwide or unconstitutional wars or the thugs at "DAS" TSA. Wake up America, we need to take OUR government back. Repeal the 17th Amendment NOW!

Ban Circumcision, really?

          There is group in Santa Monica, CA want place banning circumcision on the state ballot.  “They” find this religious rite offensive, barbaric, and a criminal practice. This new item was reported in the New York Times by Jennifer Medina, 06/11/’11

            The two column article points out these activists plan to get a measure on a ballot; they are collecting signatures on anti-circumcision petitions.  Is this a pulled up issue as much as California’s overwhelming debt?  How can Californian’s quibble over snipping the foreskin of a male, while their housing market is shriveling and unemployment is so limp? Readers of this story know it is not a come-on.

             Is dicking around about medical practices, religious preferences, and parental choice a true government crisis? Makes a person wonder where these liberals have their heads is stuck.  First, President Obama jerks off the nation of Israel by telling the Jewish Nation to shrink and pull out of its strengthened position. Now his left-wing followers call for a circumcision ban, which effects both the Jewish belief plus the Muslim belief, in commandments by God.

            Sigmund Freud would have a field day in his psychoanalysis.  The most obvious diagnosis is “penis envy”, closely followed by “anal retentiveness”. However, many women could get their heads around it.

The Patriot Act is Not Conservative

For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty

The REAL political problem

Politics in America haven’t changed that much since the Constitutional Convention of 1787.  Virtually every problem emanates from the one knotty issue in that hot Phil aphelia secret meeting from may through September: BIG states v. small states. As evidenced in his book “Fundraising”, pg 6, Peter Edles noted, “Have you seen the map Saul Steinberg drew of a New Yorker’s view of the United States?  New York City is bounded on the east by the Atlantic and on the west by Los Angles. Nothing lies in between.”

            The United States Senate was an add-on, a necessary COMPROMISE! Senators were liked the the House of Lords in the British Parliament, advisors to the president.  Senators were first loyal to their particular state’s priorities, then assisted the president in foreign affairs.  In most cases, states had popular elections to decide which person would get appointed by their state legislature. (Article I, sect. 3).

             The Seventeenth Amendment bastardized the whole of America’s federal system. That awful document aborted the “separation of powers” as prescribed by James Madison, Governor Morris and Benjamin Franklin.  So heinous is it that the Tenth Amendment was neutered, leaving states subservient to national government, with all its weighty/ interfering bureaucracy.

            This fight between liberal and conservative or the arguments between capitalism and communism are smoke screens to manipulate and corrupt voters. Ideologies take on different perspectives when addressed locally.  Is the Republican Party less concerned about poor citizens than the Democratic Party? Are Democrats less concerned about national security than Republicans?...Every national issue is viewed from a local perspectives, and every individual state needs its guaranteed sovereignty restored. California has a whole different set of problems than does Arkansas; New Jersey’s problems reflect a different mind-set from Idaho.

            When Benjamin Franklin offered the “Great Compromise”, his intend was done in good faith, because he understood the value of viable, self-sustaining states within a single United States of America.

            Americans!  We must repeal the Seventeenth Amendment in order to solve so many national problems.

House Member Chaffetz Says He May Take On Hatch for U.S. Senate Nomination

House Member Chaffetz Says He May Take On Hatch for U.S. Senate Nomination; Bloomberg

U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah said he is considering challenging incumbent Orrin Hatch for their state’s Republican Senate nomination next year, adding that he is getting “increasing clarity” about a bid to unseat the six-term lawmaker.


“I’m potentially running for the Senate,” Chaffetz said in an interview yesterday. He said he believes Utah voters “are ready for a change,” and that he will announce a decision after Labor Day in early September.

Comment: Normally I don't comment upon state elections because the choice of US Senators is the prerogative of the people of that state. However in this case Orrin Hatch, who is one of the top oligarchs in the US Senate and has helped destroy the very foundations of our country, he needs to go!

There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says

There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says; Wired.com

You think you understand how the Patriot Act allows the government to spy on its citizens. Sen. Ron Wyden says it’s worse than you know.


Congress is set to reauthorize three controversial provisions of the surveillance law as early as Thursday. Wyden (D-Oregon) says that powers they grant the government on their face, the government applies a far broader legal interpretation — an interpretation that the government has conveniently classified, so it cannot be publicly assessed or challenged. But one prominent Patriot-watcher asserts that the secret interpretation empowers the government to deploy ”dragnets” for massive amounts of information on private citizens; the government portrays its data-collection efforts much differently.


“We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says,” Wyden told Danger Room in an interview in his Senate office. “When you’ve got that kind of a gap, you’re going to have a problem on your hands.”


What exactly does Wyden mean by that? As a member of the intelligence committee, he laments that he can’t precisely explain without disclosing classified information. But one component of the Patriot Act in particular gives him immense pause: the so-called “business-records provision,” which empowers the FBI to get businesses, medical offices, banks and other organizations to turn over any “tangible things” it deems relevant to a security investigation.


“It is fair to say that the business-records provision is a part of the Patriot Act that I am extremely interested in reforming,” Wyden says. “I know a fair amount about how it’s interpreted, and I am going to keep pushing, as I have, to get more information about how the Patriot Act is being interpreted declassified. I think the public has a right to public debate about it.”


That’s why Wyden and his colleague Sen. Mark Udall offered an amendment on Tuesday to the Patriot Act reauthorization.


The amendment, first reported by Marcy Wheeler, blasts the administration for “secretly reinterpret[ing] public laws and statutes.” It would compel the Attorney General to “publicly disclose the United States Government’s official interpretation of the USA Patriot Act.” And, intriguingly, it refers to “intelligence-collection authorities” embedded in the Patriot Act that the administration briefed the Senate about in February.

Comment: While I welcome Sen Wyden's concern I have to wonder if he has taken the time to actually read the entire bill that has been enacted for close to 10 years now; where as most liberty oriented Americans have known the full truth of this tyrannical law that attacks us, the people, not the terrorists, by destroying the Bill of Rights.

How EU spends £20m a year promoting left-wing causes in the U.S.

Brussels is pouring nearly £20million a year from its human rights budget on lecturing the Americans on left-wing causes.


The EU Human Rights Fund is intended to help promote Western values in the developing world. But a shock report has found at least £17million of cash – around £2million from British taxpayers’ – has been ploughed into promoting the pet causes of Eurocrats in the U.S.


It is being spent on promoting abolition of the death penalty, discussion of climate change, green energy, and the International Criminal Court – all controversial subjects in the U.S. ...

Woman Screams For Help After TSA Molestation

VIDEO: Woman Screams For Help After TSA Molestation; Steve Watson & Paul Joseph Watson; Prisonplanet.com

Video of an incident recorded over the memorial weekend at Sky Harbor International in Phoenix, AZ, documents how the TSA deal with people who are traumatized by grossly invasive enhanced pat downs.


After a woman refused to go through a full body scanner she was pulled aside and made to undergo the pat down procedure. When the TSA agent touched the woman’s breasts, she broke down into tears and screamed for a police officer.


When police officers arrived on the scene they led the woman away and told her that unless she would submit to the full pat down procedure she would not be able to fly.


“Why won’t you help me? You’re a police officer why won’t you help me?” the woman asks in the video.


All the while the woman’s son was filming the ordeal on his phone, having to constantly fend off threats from TSA agents falsely claiming he was breaking the law. The agents also threatened to confiscate the man’s luggage, even though he had been through the screening process.

Comment: Is this another unintended or intended consquence of the 17th Amendment? Well you have to wonder if the whole goal of the three serious constitutional amendments enacted in 1913 weren't meant for the eventual enslavement of the American people, so I have to believe at this time it was intended.

However the only way for us to defeat this tyranny is for the states to rise up and demand their rightful place in Congress, throw these oligarchs out of office who have instituted and continue to sustain the Department of Homeland Security, and then restore the Bill of Rights. But it going to take little effort from a very passive public.
