IDPVA

This week the topics have centered around international investing. Today's topic will incorporate a common financial vehicle, an annuity, but get into the special benefits of having an International Deferred Private Variable Annuity (IDPVA). The best advantage of this vehicle is that it is 100% tax compliant with the United States.

When looking at financial vehicles, investing in insurance contracts and annuities may seem to be very common and boring. The returns are generally lower, the flexibility may be limited or offer no flexibility, and they typically have some high maintenance fees and costs included. (For more information on the advantages and disadvantages, you can see posts in this blog the week of November 5, 2007.) However, they do offer deferred taxes on investment gains, and tax exempt proceeds as the death benefit to your beneficiaries.

These are the commonly known benefits. Another one that may not be well known is protecting your assets. Almost every state protects the death benefit of a life insurance policy or payments from an annuity from creditors or in civil case disputes. However, the cash value of a life insurance policy may or may not be exempt. With the annuity, for distributions to be protected, they must be payable to someone other than the contract owner; e.g., your spouse or partner. Once the payments begin, creditors may be able to attack the payments.

The big advantage of purchasing an international variable annuity or life insurance contract is that foreign law governs the contract. By selecting the appropriate jurisdiction, you can achieve a much higher degree of asset protection. This can give you privacy that simply is not available with their domestic counterparts. Indeed, in a suitable jurisdiction such as Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or Nevis, an international variable annuity or life insurance contract can offer asset protection comparable or better than that of an international trust.

International private variable annuities and life insurance contracts provide numerous other advantages:

• Significantly increased privacy in comparison to domestic annuities
• Tax-deferred access to offshore securities markets, including hedge funds and other international funds, real estate, and other alternative investments
  
• Avoidance of possible foreign exchange controls
• Tax planning for U.S. citizens or long-term residents considering expatriation.

This is the ultimate advantage. If you have a significant amount of wealth to protect, you can create your own private international variable annuity and life insurance company. One way to accomplish this is through a structure called an "International Deferred Private Variable Annuity" (IDPVA).

Your IPDVA is custom tailored to your needs. It can stand alone to accumulate tax-deferred income, and provide asset protection and financial privacy for years or decades to come. It can also capitalize an insurance company that, properly configured, can insure that the assets in the structure pass to your beneficiaries free of estate tax.

Also, an IDPVA can also serve as the centerpiece of a tax-deferred international structure. For example, it can purchase your domestic or foreign business. Once properly structured, formerly taxable assets grow tax-deferred, for years, if not decades.

Your IDPVA can also capitalize an international intellectual property and critical information (IPCI) company. The IPCI company purchases intellectual property and licenses it back out. This structure can handle international licenses for copyrights, trademarks, patents, public appearances, etc. This is a cost-effective solution for licensing intellectual property abroad and deferring tax on the income.

An IDPVA can be cost effective if you have US$250,000 or more to protect. Costs start around US$50,000, including all supporting structures, agreements, and contracts. Operating costs are 1%-3% of the funds under management annually, including compliance with IRS reporting requirements, structure fees, and investment management fees.

There will be much more on international investing this week. Stay tuned ...

I wish to give special thanks to Mark Nestmann for much of the information presented.

However, there should be no poor among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today. For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.

Second Passports/Citizenships

Yesterday, I started delving into the world of international investing. For a number or reasons listed, many foreign banks will be biased against doing business with US citizens. One solution to that, getting a second passport in a Commonwealth country, can alleviate those issues. Today, we will explore that option more thoroughly. The advantages that citizenship in a Commonwealth country offers travel and other benefits to all Commonwealth countries throughout the world.

Thoughtful consideration should be given to the acquisition of more than one passport. The acquisition of multiple passports of course presupposes that you are willing to accept multiple citizenship - and this is not at all a bad idea for many people. The first reason was listed yesterday. Because foreign banks do not want to do business with US citizens, having a second passport/citizenship can open the door to roughly 80% more of the investment options in mutual funds alone. The prospect of diversity, higher returns, and additional tax advantages can make the option very prudent.

Financial advantages of dual citizenship include the ability to purchase otherwise restricted shares in emerging foreign companies. Many foreign stocks and mutual funds are only available to local citizens. Issuers will require affidavits from potential buyers. Present the appropriate second passport as proof of citizenship and the door can be opened to you that would otherwise be closed.

Dual citizenship does have several advantages in other areas such as real estate. Many nations have laws which restrict the purchase of real estate properties. Typically, coastal properties and those in large desirable metropolitan areas are off-limits to foreigners. Such practices have been widespread throughout Europe, Asia, South America-even in Mexico. Thus, some of the available properties have remained unsold for long periods of time, not because they are outrageously priced but rather because locals could not afford to purchase them.

Employment is yet another issue. Foreigners are largely banned from working anywhere outside their own borders. Citizenship in another country can change all of that quickly. In fact many of the world's largest multinational corporations favor employment candidates with dual passports. If you set out to open your own business overseas, the same advantages will apply. Finally, dual nationality could open all kinds of doors overseas including participation in foreign social security programs, national health programs, even university tuition reimbursement programs.

A second passport may also give you access to travel in countries where your own passport might not be used because temporary or permanent travel restrictions. An example of this is the fishing rights dispute between Spain and Canada in 1995. Canadians were refused permission to land in Spain during the dispute.

Also, there is the terrorism issue. With the threat of terrorism on the rise, international travel can be particularly hazardous to citizens of certain countries. Hostage-takers and kidnappers who have commandeered planes and boats have often looked at passports in deciding who shall live and who shall die.

The specific benefits naturally depend on the country you choose. In most instances, governments only extend citizenship to individuals who have resided within their boundaries for minimum periods ranging from three to five years. These provisions can of course be waived. Few nations are begging for immigrants and those which encourage immigration are selectively looking for individuals who can provide specific services-like physicians, agricultural experts, entrepreneurs likely to create new jobs, and science teachers. Consider this: what possible benefit can a nation derive from carelessly issuing passports to outsiders with no purpose other than to skirt another nation's laws or to protect the privacy of individuals it hardly knows?

If you choose to pursue dual nationality through legitimate channels, you can probably obtain a valid second passport in a reasonably short time. Be sure to consider any adverse consequences, however. If your are a naturalized American citizen, you risk losing your American citizenship by swearing allegiance to another flag, voting in a foreign election, or deliberately renouncing your American citizenship at a U.S. embassy abroad. Native-born Americans will find that their U.S. citizenship is virtually cemented in stone.

It is possible that you already qualify for a new passport by virtue of your ethnic background. If you are of Germany, Italian, Irish, French, or Jewish ancestry, it is likely that you are eligible. In fact, if you have an Irish ancestry, you may even be eligible for a free second passport. Other countries, however, are eager to naturalize those who do not automatically qualify especially if they can bring professional talent or expertise to their nations. If you have a distinguished career in teaching, engineering, general management, administration, or medicine, you have a decided advantage. Several international firms claim to have connections which enable them to expedite the passport issuance process, obtaining dual nationalities for their clients in as little as two weeks. Sometimes this can be effected by bribing government bureaucrats, a common and accepted practice in many developing countries. You may be charged $5000 or more for these services with money passing through Swiss banks. Drivers licenses and other documents useful for identification can be obtained in the same fashion.

In some cases, completely new identities can be established. This should be very carefully considered because the numerous scams and swindles in this arena on documents that are never issued. Stories also abound suggesting that some passport acquisition services have simply issued bogus credentials to their clients. If you find yourself in possession of forged travel documents, you could of course end up in prison for many years. Furthermore, if the sole purpose of obtaining such documentation is to conceal your identity so that you can commit fraud or some other crime, or to hide a prior criminal record or divorce, you have merely compounded your troubles.

Another drawback is that you may be conscripted into the armed services of another nation if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Much of this is dependent on age and health condition.

If you have determined that you want to pursue the ever changing world of countries that offer nearly instant citizenship to investors, be aware that this will generally cost from $75,000 on up, although a portion of that is usually an investment in government bonds. The countries offering such programs change frequently.

I want to give special thanks to Adam Starchild for much of this information.

By justice a king gives a country stability,
but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down. Proverbs 29:4 (NIV)

Investing Internationally

Over the past several weeks, I've mentioned various tidbits on how to improve you investment returns or reduce your tax liability or both. Investing internationally can do both, but there are also some laws and rules that you need to be familiar with before you can determine the best course of action for you.

First of all, since 9/11, the world has become a different place. This is also true with respect to the banking and tax laws in regards to the Patriot Act of 2001 and others. The Patriot Act permits U.S. courts to confiscate the U.S. assets of foreign banks, without convicting, much less accusing, the bank or any of its depositors of a crime. This is sad, but true. For this reason, foreign banks are much more reluctant to do business with US customers, or at least impose increasingly stringent restrictions on their ability to trade foreign securities and require "full disclosure" to the IRS.

Also, another problem is that the IRS impose a draconian 30-31% withholding tax on both income and gross sales proceeds on U.S. securities owned by foreign banks. This tax can only be avoided if the foreign banks enter into a one-sided "qualified intermediary" agreements with the IRS to enforce U.S. tax laws. The IRS requires that taxpayers report their worldwide income.

Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prohibit unregistered securities from being marketed in the United States. This means that many international banks are reluctant to permit U.S. citizens from buying U.S. securities, even if the orders are unsolicited. For example, there are over 55,000 mutual funds available for investing around the world; however, only about 11,500 mutual funds are available for marketing in the United States.

Thus, there are considerable reasons why foreign banks are biased against doing business with US customers. Fortunately, there are a number of ways US citizens can avoid these restrictions.

• You can invest through a U.S. tax compliant insurance or annuity policy formed outside the United States, or through an international entity such as a international business corporation (IBC), an international limited liability company (ILLC), or an international trust or private interest foundation (PIF).
  
• You could have a legal residence outside the United States.
  
• You could arrange for correspondence and trading instructions to be sent from outside the United States.
  
• You could consent to having the bank or another third party outside the United States to manage the investments in the account.

So, despite the fact that there are obstacles for US investors to obtain much higher returns through international investments, there are solutions. To obtain a legally structured international entity or a second passport and citizenship in another country will require preparation and a substantial cost on your part, but the increased returns and other benefits are likely to be very well worth it.

With the erosion of the value of the US dollar and some of the globalists' plans mentioned last week in this blog, if you don't take positive steps to protect what you have, you will likely lose most of your assets in the coming years. As always, the choice is yours.

There will be more on these topics this week. Stay tuned ...

Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his steps. Psalm 85:13 (NIV)

Control Theory

All this week, I've covered elements of the true power brokers that are steering events, not only in this country, but around the world as well. The North American Union is only one step in their ultimate plan. As some of the quotes cited this week, these plans have existed for decades and in some cases for centuries. Therefore, it is hard to comprehend many recent events if you do not have the historical significance that it relates to, to see where the piece of the puzzle fits into the overall big picture.

This is why they can be patient in achieving their goals. They have the benefit of history to learn from on what tactics work and don't work. The element of force has been tried over and over again throughout history, with limited success at controlling the world. Even the world empires over the centuries have died over time. This is why they are attempting to gain control by consent rather than conquest.

However, this poses a rather tricky theory to implement. How to you create the environment where the masses want to be dominated and controlled? In mathematics and engineering, there is 'control theory' which deals with the behavior of dynamic systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain reference over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system.

Now substitute the public in as the reference. How can the reference be influenced to maximize profit and ultimate dominance? To really understand this you need experience in marketing or psychology as to what motivates a person to action? The simple answer is emotion. How can emotion of the public be manipulated to achieve the desired results?

You should take some time to ponder that question for yourself. History has many lessons and examples as to how previous dictators attempted to do this. Many used a singular event to galvanize emotion into total resolve. Take Hitler and the Reichstag fire as an example. Hitler set the German parliament building on fire and blamed communists as the arsonists. Now take the 9/11 event to galvanize the public against terrorists. Fear, intimidation, apathy, hate, propaganda, misinformation, isolation, brainwashing, etc. are all effective tools in controlling the response of the public. This is much easier to do when you have people in key positions of power to steer things, discredit whistleblowers, bury information, etc.

Financial markets are no different. They can be manipulated as well because they are made up of human traders. Start the appropriate rumor at the calculated time, the rumor causes a market reaction that gathers strength as traders are drawn to the movement.

So, now many of the pieces are in place for their plan. You have heard many of these topics discussed in this blog over the last several months - government, politics, business leaders, markets, judicial system, military, the media, entertainment, etc. As long as they have a few key people in every major area listed, they are able to steer the public and policy to favorable terms for their goals. However, because most people do not like being deceived, their plans must be made in secret. That is why you don't hear much about groups like the Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg group. Furthermore, they have quasi government agencies to carry out many of their directives such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve, the IRS, etc.

Is total control such a far fetched idea now?

As with each Saturday, I will recap key financial variables that provide insight in the movement of the financial markets, and of the overall plans. Gold, silver, and other precious metals lost value this week as the dollar strengthened a bit. Gold went lower from last week closing on Friday at $886.80 per ounce. Silver also went down from last week closing at $16.94 per ounce. However, the price of oil continued setting new record levels closing at $118.91 per barrel. The US dollar index rose slightly to 72.67 against the other major world currencies. It should be noted that the Euro, set a all time record against the dollar this week hitting $1.60 USD for one euro before retreating.

Take heed of the information and warnings this week. If you don't believe the information presented, do your own research and prove this material wrong. I dare you.

The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.

All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you. Deuteronomy 28:43-48 (NIV)

The Power Brokers

This week the focus has been centered around the plan to form the North American Union, a blueprint that was originally sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR membership is really a listing of "who's who" within the high ranking officials of the executive branch and elite members of the business world who are US citizens.

Today, we are going to take things up a notch. It's one thing to control and direct US policies through a shadow government, but in a global environment, that is not enough. David Rockefeller formed the Trilateral Commission in 1973, as a more elite and exclusive organization that the CFR, and containing statesmen, businessmen, and intellectuals from the North America, Western Europe, and Japan. The Commission's purpose is to engineer an enduring partnership among the ruling classes of North America, Western Europe, and Japan (hence the term 'Trilateral') in order to safeguard the interests of Western capitalism in an explosive world. The private commission is attempting to mold public policy and construct a framework for international stability in the coming decades.

To put it simply, Trilateralists are saying: The people, governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations. It is the current attempt by ruling elites to manage both dependence and democracy -- at home and abroad. Or, in other words, it was necessary for the international upper class to band together to protect its interests, and to ensure, in the developed nations, that political leaders were brought to power who would ensure that the global financial interests (of the Rockefellers and the other ruling elites) would be protected over those of the masses.

This kind of sounds like the definition for megalomaniacs!

However, if you go to the website for The Trilateral Commission (www.trilateral.org), it says it "was formed by 'private citizens' ... to foster closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system". This all sounds so empowering. What B.S.!

There is also another elite group. The Bilderberg group is similar to the Trilateral Commission in that it is funded and heavily influenced by the Rockefeller empire, and composed of international financiers, industrialists, media magnates, union bosses, academics and political figures. However, the much older (formed in 1954) Bilderberg group's membership is strictly limited to participants from the United States, Canada and Western Europe (i.e. the NATO alliance). The Trilateral Commission was unique, though, in that it brought the Japanese ruling elite into the inner councils of the global power brokers, a recognition of Japan's growing influence in the world economic and political arena.

So, you might ask why all of these power brokers routinely get together to 'discuss' things. Consider this warning from former Congressman John R. Rarick: "The CFR, dedicated to one-world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education and mass communication media, should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution and our free-enterprise system. Yet, the nation's right to know machinery – the news media – usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities.

The CFR is the establishment. Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high-level decisions for converting the United States from a sovereign constitutional republic into a servile member of a one-world dictatorship."

And if the CFR is the less exclusive group, imagine what the real powerful and more exclusive groups discuss. This treasonous operation is another one of the tentacles birthed by the elitists out to destroy our constitutional republic, and eventually merge all nations into a 'one world government'. Start doing some research on the effects of disastrous laws passed such as GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement), the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and others.

GATT was first passed in 1947 as an international treaty to reduce barriers of international trade. It was updated in 1994 to found the World Trade Organization. Only one person, Senator Hank Brown, in the entire congress read the 28,000 page treaty and emphatically said he would never vote for it. Yet, the rest of the senate ratified it without reading it. The late French financier, Sir James Goldsmith was quoted in The Washington Times, Dec. 6, 1993,

"Global free trade will force the poor of the rich countries to subsidize the rich in poor countries. What GATT means is that our national wealth, accumulated over centuries, will be transferred from a developed country like Britain to developing countries like Communist China, now building its first oceangoing navy in 500 years. China, with its 1.2 billion people, three Indochinese states with 900 million, the former Soviet republics with some 300 million, and many more can supply skilled labor for a fraction of Western costs. Five dollars in Communist China is the equivalent of a $100 wage in Europe.

---

It is quite amazing that GATT is sowing the seeds for global social upheaval and that it is not even the subject of debate in America ... If the masses understood the truth about GATT, there would be blood in the streets of many capitals. A healthy national economy has to produce a large part of its own needs. It cannot simply import what it needs and use its labor force to provide services for other countries. We have to rethink from top to bottom why we have elevated global free trade to the status of sacred cow, or moral dogma. It is a fatally flawed concept that will impoverish and destabilize the industrialized world while cruelly ravaging the Third World.

This was 15 years ago! These events are planned and carried out - just like the North American Union plan will also be carried out according to the blueprint.

Senator Barry Goldwater (R, AZ from 1953–1965, 1969–87), warned what is really on the agenda for The Trilateral Commission. "The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical."

These elitists are out for total control. They already have money and power, why would they want more? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

So let me ask you, "What will you do without freedom"? As always, the choice is yours.

God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires, but God does not enable him to enjoy them, and a stranger enjoys them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. Ecclesiastes 6:2 (NIV)

America For Sale

Yesterday, I discussed how intricately connected the shadow government is to our government, specifically with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). To get back to the subject of the North American Union, they are following their blueprint to the letter. The shadow government has begun their 'race to the finish' and have become ever more arrogant and bold. They have concluded that they are so close to complete conquest and control that they are ever more blatantly flouting contempt to our Constitution and law than you can ever imagine in your worse nightmare.

Have you ever pondered what is really going on when:
Our borders are still wide open to immigrants and illegal aliens?
Our immigration laws are not enforced?
US Border Patrol personnel are prosecuted for doing their jobs?
Who is the CFIUS and what gives them the right to approve the Dubai ports deal?
Why an Australian-Spanish partnership is allowed to lease US public infrastructures such as an Indiana Toll Road for 75 years and the Chicago Skyway for 99 years(Macquarie Infrastructure Group of Sydney, Australia and Cintra Concessiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte of Madrid, Spain)?

As usual, this is just the tip of the iceberg and we happen to be on the Titanic!

What the shadow government is really doing is selling off our public assets to private international corporations and 'non-profit' foundations for huge profits. This is allowing the North American Union to be implemented from the bottom up, piece by piece as mentioned yesterday. They are using all manner of federal tax dollars to fund some of the 'non-profit' projects that are already in place. Take taxpayer dollars, make huge profits, and pay no taxes in return because they are outside the US tax jurisdiction; while America, by default and usurpation becomes the North American Union. These are all road and infrastructure projects that are planned under 'NAFTA on steroids' or the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) that the 3 heads of state from the US, Canada, & Mexico (Bush, Martin, & Fox) signed in 2005.

The CFIUS is the 'Committee on Foreign Investment in the US' which falls under the direction of the U.S. Treasury Department. The CFIUS was established in 1975 by Gerald Ford's Executive Order 11858. In 1988, Ronald Reagan amended this order delegating his oversight to CFIUS in Executive Order 12661. This required CFIUS "to submit a report and recommendation to the President at the conclusion of an investigation".

The CFIUS insanely approved the Dubai Ports World deal even after several federal agencies objected to it on security grounds. This committee works in secret and makes decisions in secret. Never mind that the "the United States already prohibits foreign direct investment in such industries as maritime, aircraft, banking, resources, and power. Generally, these sectors were closed to foreign investors to prevent public services and public interest activities from falling under foreign control, but again primarily for national defense purposes." This comes from the Exon-Florio law under which CFIUS operates was written so that it "gives the President broad powers to block certain types of foreign investment" especially those involving issues of national security.

After there was a public outcry on the Dubai ports deal where they now control 6 major US seaports, President Bush professed 'no knowledge' of the deal even though CFIUS is required to submit a report to the President. After this, CFIUS decided to sell a US military parts manufacturing facility to Dubai, another anti-security deal. It seems as though the new Mall of America is not in Minneapolis, but it is America itself.

It is a fact that the direct selling of our infrastructure to foreign countries is in violation of the Constitution, Article I, Section 10, Clause 3. As already mentioned, it is a direct contravention of the Exon Florio law.

So why is this occurring more and more frequently, mostly to foreign investors at the highest bid? For this answer, we must go back to the senior President George H. W. Bush and the Executive Order 12803 signed April 30, 1992. This order states in Section 1 under 'Definitions' - "For the purpose of this order :
(a) 'Privatization' means the disposition of or transfer of an infrastructure asset, such as by sale or by long-term lease, from State or local government to a private party.

(b) 'Infrastructure asset' means any asset financed in whole or in part by the Federal Government and needed for the functioning of the economy. Examples of such assets include, but are not limited to: roads, tunnels, bridges, electricity supply facilities, mass transit, rail transportation, airports, ports, waterways, water supply facilities, recycling and wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste disposal facilities, housing, schools, prisons and hospitals."

Sounds kind a like a fire sale of tax payer funded and owned assets. But considering James Traficant's 1993 congressional speech (Monday, April 7, 2008 post in this blog) that the government is in bankruptcy, this begins to make more sense. Sell assets off piece by piece to foreign private parties, and soon the SPP and UCC laws really makes sense that commercial interests are controlling the country by default. Therefore the North American Union does not have to have an actual physical presence, it will exist by private ownership and enforced by a shadow government, legislature, and judicial systems.

Do you still believe that we live in a sovereign nation?

There will be more tomorrow. Stay tuned ...

You sold your people for a pittance,
gaining nothing from their sale. Psalm 44:12 (NIV)

Shadow Government

Yesterday, I gave an introduction to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR, www.cfr.org). Today, we will delve deeper into their influence. It's kind of ironic that the CFR claims that is has no affiliation with the US government when a good portion of their membership are or were high ranking officials of the US government. This is typical double talk for politicians, why should we be surprised?

Consider some of the following quotes from these officials who were members.

Rear Admiral Chester Ward, USN (Ret.), a member of the CFR for sixteen years, wrote in his 1975 book "Kissinger On The Couch", "The most powerful cliques in these elitist groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and national independence of the United States."

Felix Franfurter, Justice of the Supreme Court (1939-1962) said, "The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes".

In a speech given on February 23, 1954, Senator William Jenner gave this warning to America, "Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded."

There are those that believe the Constitution is far more than 'outmoded' including President Bush. He rebuffed the GOP leader's request to soften some parts of the Patriot Act by saying, "I don't give a goddamn ... I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way." Then, responding to an aide who stated, "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution." Bush screamed back, "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face ... It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" December 5, 2005

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, while still White House counsel, wrote that the "Constitution is an outdated document."

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says he cringes when someone calls the Constitution a "living document". Scalia also warned, "We can take away rights just as we can grant new ones. Don't think that it's a one-way street."

As for the 'bureaucratic elite' of wealthy globalists who function as the 'shadow government', their ultimate goal is a 'New World Order'. To that idea, Franklin D. Roosevelt managed to condemn their monopolistic lust from the grave in a message found enshrined on a FDR memorial, "They (who) seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers call this a new [world] order. It is not new and it is not order."

Some interpret that FDR was speaking about Hitler and Mussolini; however, I think he was referring to the global elitists.

So what do they want? What is their goal in all this shadowy and sinister intrigue? Anthony Sutton, a research fellow for the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University, said, "While monopoly control of industries was one of the objectives of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to 'go political' and make society go to work for the monopolists -- under the name of public good and the public interest."

This is confirmed by Frederick C. Howe in a 1906 book "Confessions of a Monopolist", "These are the rules of big business ... Get a monopoly; let society work for you; and remember that the best business is politics..."

As corporations went international, national monopolies could no longer protect their interests. What was needed was a one world system of government controlled from behind the scenes. This had been the plan since the time of Colonel House, and to implement it, it was necessary to weaken the U.S. politically and economically.

So it all comes back to politics and the policy makers. This is why the CFR members are all Washington heavy hitters. I already mentioned yesterday that all but one of the Secretary of States are or were members. During the FDR years, the Council on Foreign Relations captured the political life of the U.S. Besides Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, other CFR members included Secretary of State Edward Stettinus, War Secretary Henry Stimson, and Assistant Secretary of State Sumner Welles.

The CIA has been under CFR control almost continuously since its creation, starting with Allen Dulles, founding member of the CFR and brother of Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, John Foster Dulles. Allen Dulles had been at the Paris Peace Conference, joined the CFR in 1926, and later became its president. John Foster Dulles had been one of Woodrow Wilson's young proteges at the Paris Peace Conference. A founding member of the CFR...he was an in-law of the Rockefellers, Chairman of the Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Board Chairman of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Since that time nearly ALL presidential candidates have been CFR members. President Truman, who was not a member, was advised by a group of 'wise men', all six of whom were CFR members, according to author Gary Allen.

They have all promoted the "New World Order," controlled by the United Nations. The problem is that "... the present United Nations organization is actually the creation of the CFR and is housed on land in Manhattan donated to it by the family of current CFR chairman David Rockefeller," as Pat Robertson describes it.

Most members are one-world-government ideologists whose long-term goals were officially summed up in September 1961 State Department Document 7277, adopted by the Nixon Administration: "...elimination of all armed forces and armaments except those needed to maintain internal order within states and to furnish the United Nations with peace forces...by the time it (UN global government) would be so strong no nation could challenge it."

Within the CFR there exists a "much smaller group but more powerful...made up of Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in control of the global government ...This CFR faction is headed by the Rockefeller brothers," according to Rear Admiral Ward.

What must be remembered is that this is not some lunatic-fringe group. These are members of one of the most powerful private organizations in the world: the people who determine and control American economic, social, political, and military policy. Members' influence and control extends to "leaders in academia, public service, business, and the media," according to the CFR 1993 "Annual Report."

So much for the statement 'They are not AFFILIATED with the US government', they ARE the government, in effect.

James Warburg, son of CFR founder Paul Warburg, and a member of FDR's "brain trust," testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17, 1950, "We shall have world government whether or not you like it--by conquest or consent."

CFR members in the mass media, education, and entertainment push their propaganda of "humanism" and world brotherhood. We should all live in peace under a world government, and forget about such selfish things as nationalities and patriotism. We can solve our own problems. We don't need God, or morals, or values: it's all relative, anyway, right?...Because if we actually had some moral character and values, we might be able to discern that these people are actually EVIL.

The Bible says that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil (1 Tim. 6:10). These people are evil because they love money and power, and greed drives them to do anything to achieve their goals. They have lost all morality and conscience, and believe such concepts, as well as our Constitution, are 'outdated'.

How is this not found out and routed out? Elementary, my dear Watson. Distraction, misdirection, and misinformation in the media. That is why they constantly pit us one against the other, with 'Diversity', Affirmative Action, alternative lifestyles, sports, "American Idol", and other programs,...black against white, men against women, rural against urban, ranchers against environmentalists, and on and on...least we look in their direction.

Remember when I quoted Thomas Jefferson, "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

Do we have liberty or tyranny? You decide. As always, the choice is yours.

Have I said, 'Give me something,'
Or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,'
Or, 'Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,'
Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants'?
"Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
"How painful are honest words!
But what does your argument prove?
"Do you intend to reprove my words,
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind? Job 6:22-26 (NASB)

Council on Foreign Relations

Yesterday, I mentioned that President Bush was using a blueprint created by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) to create the North American Union. Many have probably never heard of this organization or its purpose.

The CFR was incorporated in New York on July 29, 1921, as the American branch of the Institute of International Affairs while the British branch was called the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA). The original membership included Colonel House, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, and Jacob Schiff who had previously engineered the creation of the Federal Reserve System.

The RIIA leadership was comprised of member of the Round Table which was started by Cecil Rhodes in the 1800's which was designed to "federate the English speaking peoples of the world, and bring it under their rule".

The purpose of the CFR was to do research and make recommendations for the department without formal assignment or responsibility, particularly in four areas - security armaments, economic and financial problems, political problems, and territorial problems. The Rockefeller Foundation agreed to finance the operation of this plan. From then on, the puppetmasters (or manipulators as I have referred to them) had all the financing they needed to do whatever they needed to do without the approval or review of the government.

From the inception of the CFR, this organization has placed its members in policy-making positions with the State Department and other federal agencies. Every Secretary of State since 1944, with the exception of James F. Byrnes, has been a member of the CFR council. The trend continues today as both Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell are members.

David Rockefeller, chairman of the CFR for 15 years (1970-1985), also founded and is the honorary chairman of the Trilateral Commission. His father John D. Rockefeller and brother Nelson purchased and then donated the land beneath the United Nations for $8.5 million dollars, then claimed it as as charitable deduction.

You might ask why so little is known about the organization or its purpose since it is made up of so many high ranking and high profile people. In 1991 in Baden-Baden, Germany, David Rockefeller boldly stated, "We're grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publication whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government."

David Rockefeller has also brazenly commented on the work he and his family has done over the past century. "For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interest of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Another insight into the CFR's purpose comes from member Richard N. Gardner, who in 1974 wrote a "Foreign Affairs" article title: "The Hard Road to World Order". His said in the article, "In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion' ... an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, [which] will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."

If you have read my "History of Money" series beginning January 28, 2008, you will see another piece of the puzzle is put into place on how the international bankers and the global elites control the governments of the world. These powerful groups are serving their own interests and that of their masters. This governmental cabal are bent on destroying our sovereignty in order to create a North American Union. The more research you do, the more aghast you will be at the nearly complete destruction of our sovereignty, Bill of Rights, Constitution, laws, our republic, and other freedoms that they have already achieved. These draconian measures are included in the Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act, and many others. The heinous ongoing treason has been engineered by the entrenched cabal of legislators, courts, military brass, and government employees in this and prior administrations. The tyranny is being facilitated by hundreds of people embedded at all levels of the executive branch constituting a so called 'Shadow Government' who are working in concert to dismantle this country in plain sight.

This is only one small piece of their overall goal to create a one world government where they are in control of all buying and selling. If you don't comply, they will just eliminate your opportunity to buy and sell. (This is beginning to sound like the evil galactic empire from "Star Wars". Art imitates life all the time.)

Take a look at what Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in a letter to an associate dated November 21, 1933. "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

Is this still the land of the free and the home of the brave? How much more will it take before the public awakens?

There is a lot more to come. Stay tuned ...

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:11-16 (NIV)

The North American Union

Many people have never heard of the North American Union. However, it does exist and not just in the theoretical context as wikipedia suggests as the union among Canada, the United States, and Mexico. In fact, it has existed ever since delegates from the three countries signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America agreement on March 23, 2005. The Partnership was founded in Waco, Texas by Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada, Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, and George W. Bush, President of the United States. The stated goals of the SPP are cooperation and information sharing, improving productivity, reducing the costs of trade, enhancing the joint stewardship of the environment, facilitating agricultural trade while creating a safer and more reliable food supply, and protecting people from disease.

As usual, this sounds pretty benign. However, the true intent of this agreement is the physical creation of this North American Union, with the working similar to the European Union (EU). Likewise, with the EU having its own currency the Euro, the North American Union will also have its own currency, the Amero. (I have mentioned this currency before in this blog many times.)

President Bush is using the SPP agreement to enact a blueprint laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR, www.cfr.org). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The report called for "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America."

President Bush is pursuing the elite globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

What does all this mean for the United States and our citizens? It effectively means that the sovereign US does not exist anymore (as if it ever did). It is wiping out completely the idea that our nation is run by Congress, our laws, and the constitution. In its place are the trade laws like NAFTA and the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). Money and credit is already controlled by the privately owned Federal Reserve who is now asking for greater and broader powers.

By the way, the Council on Foreign Relations, by their own admission, takes no institutional position on policy issues and has no affiliation with the U.S. government. This is the manipulators' direction on how their idea of a one world government will come about by taking steps one at a time over the years.

Don't you feel comfortable that our president is taking direction (a puppet) from the global elite? Read up on the CFR on their website and take a look at who the members are.

If you doubt any of this information, go to Google and type in "Lou Dobbs North American Union". YouTube has a number of videos stored first reported by the well known CNN reporter Lou Dobbs. The videos are about 3-5 minutes in length.

There will be more on this topic this week. Stay tuned ...

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV)

A Short History Lesson

The last month has seen some volatile action in the financial markets. Just as a child slaps the water in a kiddie pool to make some waves, that is what the manipulators are doing to set the stage for some of their bigger moves this fall. I expect some of the really big moves to be made by President Bush before he leaves office in January. Many presidents are concerned with leaving a positive legacy as they leave, but President Bush's approval rating is so dismal, that I don't believe he really cares. He has implemented many plans already that are on the docket for the global elite.

When the Bear Stearns investment bank ran into financial solvency issues last month, and JP Morgan Chase offered to buy them out with a deal backed by the Federal Reserve, this move was a major sign that the markets movers are attempting to consolidate the power base. Ultimately, there are too many individual players out there to make many of their plans a reality. As I indicated then, Bear Stearns would just be the first casualty of the economic tsunami heading this way.

I read an interesting article from the Associated Press today. Every now and then, the mainstream media lets a little insight slip through among all the other nonsense that is usually there. Most of this information mentioned below came from many points I made over the last month, but it is always interesting to have points reaffirmed by others. This came from Tom Raum commenting that the government will respond to the current housing crisis and weakened dollar with increased federal regulation.

Tom Raum states in these excerpts from his article.
If history is a guide, Congresses and presidents don't just tackle problems. They turn them into programs, departments and new regulatory regimes. Huge buildings stand around the nation's capital as monuments to past crisis-management efforts.

-- The energy crisis of the 1970s following the Arab oil boycott resulted in the creation of the Department of Energy.

-- The Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks gave birth to the Department of Homeland Security.

-- The Great Depression led to a slew of New Deal federal social programs. Many of their successors remain today.

-- The Federal Reserve was a response to bank runs in the early 1990s, the Pentagon was a crash construction project to put services fighting World War II under one roof, the Department of Housing and Urban Development owes its 1960s origins to President Johnson's war on poverty and concern about growing inner-city crime.

Conservative economists argue that free markets do tend to be self-correcting, and government intervention often makes things worse.

Boy, that is an understatement! I wonder if the same kind of comments were made in the Roman senate as Rome watched it's downfall. I'm sure many still denied that Rome was in any trouble while the German tribes were occupying land left deserted by the Roman legions.

All of the current moves are designed to increase federal control and minimize the rights of the citizens. With the future plans of the manipulators, the population must be docile and controlled. Remember when I described during the History of Money series the Hegelian dialect of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. An event is created to cause a problem, resources are made available to combat or correct the conditions of the problem, and then a solution is created that they always wanted that would not have been possible if the problem didn't exist. This formula is used over and over again in history.

Well, the current plan that Tom Raum refers to is to have the Federal Reserve to have more and much broader power and eliminate the "smaller" agencies currently in charge of financial regulation like the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Again, they are trying to consolidate the power base. Fewer players and more power make is easier to implement their plans. Beware of the changes coming later this year!

As with all Saturdays, I will recap key financial indicators that provide a lot of insight into what is really going on in the financial markets. All of these indicators bounced around again this week, consolidating a bit more from last month's wild ride. Gold closed slightly down on Friday from last week closing at $917.00 per ounce. Silver rose slightly from last week closing on Friday at $17.87 per ounce. The price of oil hit a new record high closing at $116.97 per barrel. The US dollar index strengthened slightly closing at 71.93 against the other major world currencies.

The price of oil will likely really shoot up the next month as the travel industry prepares for the upcoming vacation season in the United States. The price at the gas pump always spikes right before Memorial Day so that early vacationers of the summer season are hit with the increased prices. This makes for some huge profits for the oil companies. By the way, during these volatile financial times, do you hear that any oil companies are having problems? No. They are reporting record profits. Exxon Mobil reported a US corporate record $11.7 billion quarterly profit on February 1, 2008. Shell Oil reported a European corporate record £13.9billion pounds or $27.5 billion dollars for the same quarter on January 31, 2008. This is $75 million per day in profit. Do you still think that prices are not manipulated?

Do you still want to sit back and see what happens? If you do, you will lose most of your assets. As always, the choice is yours.

Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. The sights you see will drive you mad. Deuteronomy 28:32-34 (NIV)

The Beach

This week the theme has revolved around income tax, due to the timing of the annual nightmare when income tax filing is due in the United States. This nightmare is a dread to many Americans, regardless if they have to pay additional taxes or are due a refund. The anxiety of the deadline is enough headache for some, the circular and confusing forms are a sore spot for others.

The point of today's post is the question for the future - will you ever get to a point where you don't have to go through the annual nightmare or at least are not concerned about it? For some people, this may seem to be impossible. But as I have pointed out on numerous occasions in this blog, there are many options available. However, these options will not likely fall into your lap. They must be sought, effort and knowledge must be applied.

To ultimately achieve your dreams, whatever they are, you must be able to find a lawful way to significantly reduce your tax liability. If more than 30% of your income is going toward paying the global elite's International Monetary Fund through the IRS, your financial goals will never, I repeat never, be obtainable. Do some research on the Grace Commission in 1982 sponsored by President Reagan if you doubt this fact.

So if you have a dream of one day lying in a hammock in a tropical paradise on a white sandy beach, you had better start looking for some of those options. I have certainly given out a number of starting points in the last several weeks, but you must take the steps. You must walk through the open door. As always, if you need further assistance, or guidance from me, just contact me at the address below and I will be glad to help find a solution to your specific situation.

Everyone's idea of financial freedom is slightly different from everyone else's. This is not a bad thing. Everyone has choices to make in their own lives. But the solutions that can help you achieve that dream will be repeatable. Find a solution that is successful and that fits with you.

Just like I mentioned in Wednesday's "The Maze" post, there are ways to get out of the maze. I can lead the way. Or, if you choose, find your own way. But if you continue to operate as before, to choose not to heed some warnings mentioned in this blog, you will find that you will lose much of what you have accumulated over the years. Regret is one of the worse emotions to deal with because it deals with mistakes in the past that are usually not correctable.

As always, the choice is yours. Choose your path out.

You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn.

I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

I crushed them so that they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet. Psalm 18:36-38 (NIV)

MIB

As I've stated in previous posts, I'm a movie buff. Today, I happened to see the movie "Men In Black" being aired on TBS. This humorous spoof on a secret government agency is a very entertaining movie. However, like most spoofs, they are based on something known or real. Many spoofs in the movie industry might be based on other movies.

This spoof is above a secret government agency that is designed to track (space) alien movements on the planet. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones do a commendable job in acting with this comedy. Without getting into the reality of this movie, consider this, there are many government agencies that are responsible for tracking the movements of our citizens, illegal aliens (foreign humans), illegal criminals, terrorists, etc. They all have their own abbreviation signifying their identity - FBI, CIA, ATF, DEA, NSA, DHS, TSA, INS, SEC, etc. It does seem that the government can't come up with more than 3 letters in their naming conventions.

Another movie that comes to mind regarding government agencies is "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith and Gene Hackman. This movie is downright scary in the technological abilities these government agencies (in this movie it is the National Security Agency - NSA) have at their disposal to track and investigate. In this movie, Will Smith becomes an innocent target of the agency because he is passed video information about an assassination of a senator. The agents from the NSA were stopping at nothing to eliminate the threat Smith's character could reveal if he lived. Think about this - they stop at nothing to eliminate the threat, even if it means killing.

You might want to believe all of these agencies exist for your protection. However, as I've pointed out in previous posts, it is for control. I deliberately left off the IRS as another agency, because it is not part of the government. Most people would agree that the IRS is not there for our protection. Fear is a very important tool for control. Why does the IRS need to use intimidation and fear to enforce their rules? Is it because that most people don't want to pay taxes?

That is certainly part of it. However, if the system did not take such a large portion of people's income, if the proceeds actually went to civic and infrastructural improvements, most people would be more positive toward income tax. Also, if the tax code and rules were more easily understandable, the people would also be less resistant. But as pointed out in yesterday's post, the rules and guidelines are meant to be confusing and circular so you are frustrated. They need to be deceptive because the true purpose of the taxes would never be accepted by the public.

Just think about this for a moment and come up with your own answers.

Are we really living in the land of the free and the home of the brave? Or are we the land of sheep and the slaves of the tyrants and manipulators? Remember, there is a profound difference between a republic and a democracy. Our founding fathers set up a republic that was ruled by the people's elected leaders. Our federal government at the beginning of our country had very weak powers and clearly limited abilities on purpose. That is not the government we have today.

Do we live in fear of our government? Our founding fathers wanted the government to fear the public because they had the power to take away the power of the government. Today, that is not the case. History has proven time and time again, all democracies fail over time because of power and corruption of a few.

How long will it last for us? As always, you have a choice. What will you do?

This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.' Jeremiah 28:14 (NIV)

The Maze

Yesterday, I talked about the most important item on a gravestone - the dash. The dash represents what you did during your life. The happy times, the sad times, the uncertain times, the times of triumph, the times of defeat; all of these give your life meaning. But did that meaning also influence others was the question?

Today, we are going to talk about the maze. If you ever researched a tax question in the tax code or IRS guidelines, you know what I'm talking about. One document will refer to another, that form will refer you to another, then another, then another, until you start get very irritated. Sorry, but this is intentional. The IRS guidelines are meant to be circular in nature so that you give up. It's too frustrating and irritating, so you take it to a professional tax preparer and remain ignorant of the tax code. The more you don't understand, the more likely you will concede and pay whatever they tell you to pay. Intimidation and fear is what the IRS lives by.

Life can be that way too. How many people when they get out of high school actually know what they want their life's profession will be? It just like a mouse in a giant maze, searching for that elusive piece of cheese. All you can see in front of you is high walls, corners, dead ends, and more passageways that lead to seemingly nowhere. But you know that piece of cheese is there somewhere. Somewhere - keep searching, another dead end. The one difference is, the mouse knows what he's after - the cheese. Too many times we don't know. So we continue along the passageways of life, looking, searching, turning, back pedaling, searching some more. To what end though? What is our prize?

Life becomes a meaningless pattern of the daily maze. The same rituals, the same routines. What if there was a way to climb those high walls and get out of the maze? What if there was a way to see how the whole maze is designed, so you can eliminate the dead ends? The easiest way to do this is to find a person that has gotten out of the maze and follow success. Their prize might be different than yours, but the steps out of the maze might be the same.

If someone can teach you to get out of the maze, would you like to return the favor and teach someone else? That is where you can have a very meaningful impact on someone else. That will not only reward you, but the next person, and the next person, and so on. Just as every wave in the ocean starts out small and gathers momentum, people can do the same thing.

Imagine this - a tsunami of empowerment and enlightenment for mankind. I will give you a clue as to how this might happen - turn off the TV. You won't find it there. TV is meant to be mindless entertainment. Connect with others, find out about their successes and dreams. Share ideas, thoughts, knowledge, and solutions. The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Humans can also be this way.

Lead the way.

¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23 (KJV)

The Dash

Today is the day. Tax time. Tick tock, the deadline is approaching. Most of you have heard the saying that there are only two certainties in life - death and taxes. Despite already mentioning both of these, today's topic is about neither, but will act as the introduction.

Most of you have been in a cemetery at one point in your life. And you will be again, pardon the pun. Among all the gravestones and markers, there is one thing universal on all of them. I know there is a last name, sometimes a relationship, a birthday, and the date of the ultimate end, sometimes an epitaph, but there is also one more thing that is more important than anything else and it is almost always overlooked. That is the dash, the dash between the beginning (our birth date) and the end (our death).

The dash really is you. What does your life mean? To you? To others? What have you done to make a difference in the brief period of time in history here among your fellow human beings?

Have you seen and experienced a full life? Have you made a difference in the lives of one other person, 10 other people, 100 others, 1000 others? Is mankind better off because of your existence and the fruits of your labors and knowledge?

Or, are you just another cog in the system? Are you just another monetized legal fiction whose labors are taxed to feed the greed and control of the wealthy global elite? Are you just another employee number to someone that probably doesn't even know your name? Are you just another mindless consumer buying whatever they tell you to buy? Are you just another person drowning in debt?

No one ever said on their deathbed that he should have spent more time at the office. No one that I know of wish that they had fewer friends.

Here's another expression for you - "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Even if your answers to the insightful questions above are not what you want them to be, every day is an opportunity for you to change those answers. Every day is another chance for positive impact. Every day is your chance to make a difference in the lives around you.

What will you do today? And tomorrow? What will your legacy be after you are gone? What will your dash mean? As always, the choice is yours.

Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.' "
Luke 20:17 (NIV)

Income Tax Time

Well, it is nearing the dreaded date of April 15th. For most people in the United States, this date brings dread, fear, anxiety, and other nasty emotions. This is the date when the personal income tax filings are due.

Over the last six months, I called attention to a number of strategies to reduce your taxable income legally and lawfully. Tax avoidance is very legal. It is described as the legal utilization of the tax regime to one's own advantage, in order to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law. Or a more practical example, you choose a different route (probably slower, though) to go home which has no tolls as opposed to one that has tolls. This is tax avoidance. And it is very prudent to avoid any unnecessary taxes.

Tax evasion on the other hand, is the general term for efforts to not pay taxes by illegal means. This is using tactics that are not within the law to get out of paying taxes that are due. Notice in each description, there is the reference to the law. Knowing the many volumes that contain the tax code is very difficult to say the least. However, it does have many obvious benefits.

If you are not inclined to take the time to get familiar with the tax code, one of the best alternatives is to have an expert prepare your tax return. There are many tax return businesses available in most parts of the country, so choose one that is highly recommended and one that is not likely to cut corners too much to risk a tax audit. These are never fun.

If an expert tax preparer is not an option, another option is to buy some tax return software such as Turbo Tax from the company Intuit Inc. (there are others as well). It will walk you through your return electronically by asking you pertinent questions. Your answers are used to fill in the appropriate space on the actual forms. In this way, you do not have to be familiar with the forms, and not a tax expert either, for the software program is up to date on all the latest tax law changes.

The point is that you should use all available tax avoidance strategies as possible. If you read my series on the History of Money (beginning January 28th) and heard of the Grace Commission (February 7, 2008 post), you'll know why.

Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"

"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. Matthew 22:15-22 (NIV)

Rabbit Tunnels

This week, I used the analogy of Alice in Wonderland to describe our present systems in life here in the United States. Once Alice started down the rabbit hole, she discovered many mystical creatures and rather bizarre happenings.

Even though I've shared some examples with you how deep our "real" rabbit hole goes, this has only been an introduction. From James Traficant's congressional speech about the US governments bankruptcy, to how the UNITED STATES CORPORATION was formed in 1871, to how the same concept was applied to individual states and municipalities, to how our own personas were created and monetized under a fictional STRAWMAN in CAPITAL LETTERS, to how court system has been modified to discard the constitution and have all statutes and law be applied according to contract law, or more specifically the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) - these are all examples of how deep the rabbit hole goes.

When understanding the enormity and complexity to the extent as to how all these things were put into place, it is quite amazing. However, having this understanding should not lead you to despair. Useful knowledge applied is power. It gives you options. Knowing the rules of how "a game" like baseball is played, can give you advantages. The "game" of life is no exception. Even in the bizarro world of our "real" world of the rabbit hole, having knowledge can lead to tunnels out of the rabbit hole. This is what this blog is all about - solutions. But first, you must have an understanding of the problems, especially as it relates to you.

As always, if you want some personal help with your own situation, feel free to contact me at the address below for more specific questions.

As with all Saturdays, I will recap key economic indicators and what they mean from the financial world this week. All of the key indicators again bounced around this week, consolidating somewhat from the volatile ride from several weeks ago. Gold on Friday, closed at $925.70 per ounce, slightly higher than last. Silver declined slightly, closing at $17.77 per ounce. The price of oil rose slightly, closing at $110.40 per barrel. The US dollar index lost ground slightly closing at 71.90 against the other major world currencies.

In particular with the currencies, the US dollar is near a record low against the Euro taking 1.5785 US dollars for each Euro (about $1.58, two years ago it was about $1.17). However, the Great British Oound is off more than 13 cents from its recent high against the dollar, trading at 1.9707 or about $1.97 US dollars. The dollar is also off almost 25% from its recent high against the Japanese Yen. The fact is that the US dollar has been losing a lot of ground against most of the major currencies except the British Pound. This means to me that the global elite is also setting up the British pound for a devaluation after the US dollar falls off the table. My speculation is that once the Amero replaces the US dollar as a North American currency, the British pound will ultimately be incorporated into the Euro as well. (Remember, you heard it hear first!)

Remember, useful knowledge applied is power. If you know in advance that the currencies are being devalued, the astute investor and the wealthy convert their assets to other assets that are not devalued, such as gold and silver. Both of these precious metals have increased in value more that 20% in the last six months (or the other side of the coin, the US dollar has lost 20% of its value in the last six months), but their increase is not over. We will go through some consolidating as I mentioned earlier.

The main point is that the global elite is planning a major shift in the financial markets soon, one that will make the 2000-2002 stock market decline look small. The current credit crisis is only the first warning bell. If you are not prepared for this, you will lose a large portion of your assets. Take heed of the warning, be prepared.

Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 2Corinthians 4:1-3 (NIV)

And Deeper Still

This week, we've been looking at how deep the rabbit hole goes. Obviously, I'm using a analogy to Alice in Wonderland, but the world that we all think is real is actually layer by layer a deception to control our lives, our property, and our children to enslave us. Today, we will examine how the manipulators have changed the court system to keep us enslaved.

In 1976, Congress took away any semblance of law or justice left within our court system. All law today is now construed, constructed and made up by the judge in the courtroom.

They took away any control or authority we might have had over the court system. See Senate Bill 94-204 which deals with the court system and Senate Bill 94-381 dealing with Public Law. This has been very well hidden from all of us.

Many of us going into court often wonder why and how the courts can simply override the laws we put into our paperwork. It's very simple now that we know how they do it. They operate on the words 'construe and construct'.

Let me explain. A simple word such as 'in' changed to 'at' as in 'at law' or 'in law' has a totally separate meaning. For example: If you're in the river, you are wet, you can swim, etc., but if you're at the river, you might enjoy a refreshing picnic, play baseball or run races. See the difference a simple word can make? And, the attorneys often change this word when they answer your motions - in addition to many others.

It will pay you in dividends to read the answers of attorneys to your paperwork. Compare what they say the case law says to the actual case law itself. You'll discover that they have actually changed the words therein. This is illegal, you might say. No, not, according to the above Senate Bills.

You see, they can now construe and construct any law or statute to mean whatever they decide it means, for their benefit. You don't know any of this. You think they are railroading you in a kangaroo court. No, they are 'legal' in what they do. They usually follow the law to the letter; Their law, private law, the law of contract, that you know nothing about. This law is called contract law.

If you don't understand the above and realize what law you are dealing with when you go into court, you will lose.

Yesterday, I mentioned that the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is the supreme law of the land. The UCC is contract law. It controls all commerce and property. Again, you don't own the property, the state does; and it has consigned those assets including your labor to the federal government who has consigned it to the Federal Reserve as security for the national debt that is owned to the global elite's international bankers. The sphere of influence is complete.

Even if you have filed your UCC-1 and have captured your Title and your artificial entity, this makes no difference in the above courts. Why? They operate in total fiction, in la la land, in the land of Oz. They can only recognize contracts. And you are a real, sentient human being (still with numerous adhesion contracts attached to you). Whatever you file in that court, whether it is your UCC-1 or Law from the Judicial and Original Jurisdiction side, that is real, Lawful, truth. They do not recognize truth of any sort. They only recognize fiction and contract law.

So, when you go into any court, be aware that it is their law, that the judge or the prosecutor can 'construe' and 'construct' that law in any fashion they choose. It will always mean what they choose it to mean.

So, are the courts bound by the Constitution? Law? Statutes? No, contracts only and the statutes used to enforce the contracts. And when we use their statutes, constitution, UCC, rules and regulations, all copyrighted - without a license from the BAR, we are in violation of copyright infringement and punishment is mandatory.

There is NO Law in this Nation - or the world for that matter - there is only contract law.

Just to reiterate and complete the deceptive ruse, here's a recap. THE UNITED STATES as a corporation, created in England, came under the jurisdiction of England. This entitled England to create laws as the Bank of England and global elite's international bankers saw fit to do, establish those laws in THE UNITED STATES and everyone who at that time was a 14^th Amendment Citizen was subject to obey those laws. This also placed the Congress of THE UNITED STATES above that portion of what we think is the constitution, not under the authority of the constitution. Copyrighted, remember? The only Bill of Rights left at this point in time is four Amendments -- 13^th, 14^th 15^th, and 16^th. That is all the Courts are required to take cognizance of when you appear in their courts.

We were drawn in as 14^th Amendment Citizens through the registration of our birth certificates. We were further enticed deeper into that system by volunteering for many other licenses and privileges given by the government, including Social Security. We were also made enemies of THE UNITED STATES. This act gives the UNITED STATES authority, under the laws of war and as a captured people, to force anything on us they choose to create.

Thus, there is no law today except as fiction of copyrighted statutes, to be interpreted by 'judges' who construe and construct whatever they choose to have those statutes mean.

Do you still think that we live in a free nation and that we are protected by certain inalienable rights as depicted in the Declaration of Independence?

The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,
but the folly of fools is deception. Proverbs 14:8 (NIV)

And Deeper

Yesterday, I discussed how the STRAWMAN fictitious entity represents us human beings while taking away our rights that the constitution gave us. In addition, these adhesion contracts make us human capital that is monetized and pledged to the global elite international bankers as collateral against the national debt. The fruits of our labor, our property, and even our children are all placed in the possession of the Secretary of State of each state as an agent for the trustee of the bankruptcy - the US Secretary of the Treasury.

Take a look at the Executive Order 13037 that President Bill Clinton signed in March 3, 1997 and is amended on numerous occasions. This order set up a commission to study the effects of capital budgeting for the federal government. This included "capital budgeting practices in other countries, in State and local governments in this country, and in the private sector; the differences and similarities in their capital budgeting concepts and processes; and the pertinence of their capital budgeting practices for budget decision making and accounting for actual budget outcomes by the Federal Government."

This sounds pretty benign on the surface. But take a look at Sec. 2 - "(b) The appropriate definition of capital for Federal budgeting, including: use of capital for the Federal Government itself or the economy at large; ownership by the Federal Government or some other entity; defense and nondefense capital; physical capital and intangible or human capital; distinctions among investments in and for current, future, and retired workers; distinctions between capital to increase productivity and capital to enhance the quality of life; and existing definitions of capital for budgeting." [Bolding and emphasis mine]

This whole concept of monetizing the human capital was tightened up in 1935 with the Social Security Act (also called the Old Age Pension Act). People volunteered to enter a contract after this act was signed into law. Of course, they thought they would be getting a perceived benefit as a retirement supplement, but no one told them the other obligations they were committing to. This of course was during the height of the Great Depression, and people were desperate for any help they could get. Similarly, many further contracts were entered into by applying for licenses - all voluntary of course - for some perceived benefit.

Then, the manipulators made the states even more subservient to the federal government in 1944. The states were originally sovereign, not subject to federal rules and laws. Through a number of law passed, the states began to lose their individual rights to the federal government. This was complete with the Buck Act in 1944. With this Act, the states also became 14th Amendment citizens and lost all power to protect against usurpation by the federal UNITED STATES government (the UNITED STATES CORPORATION). The corporate states then went under the jurisdiction of Washington, DC.

Thereafter, the movement toward a socialistic dictatorship and one world government plan rapidly increased through the adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) by all states in 1964 and a number of other similar laws and acts that were incorporated into this nation. This made the UCC the supreme law of the land. Now, the people could never own any property because the state now had possession of it all. The state owns the title to all property.

Did you ever look at your property title? Aren't you listed as the "tenant" rather than the "owner". People can only rent their homes that they believe they own. They only have a certificate of title to the car they think they own. The state owns the true title to their homes and to their cars, and to everything else they thought they own. Not only that, you actually married the state through the marriage license and your children become wards of the state.

Tomorrow, we will look at how the court system was changed to protect the new empire of slaves created by these laws.

As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy. Psalm 132:2 (NIV)
