It is possible, that <b>Washington DC</b> will [ somehow ] work out another temporary solution. Not very likely, but definitely possible.... However, neither: <b>The Democrats</b> nor <b>The Republicans</b> - have the necessary:<b><i> Political Backbone</i></b>, nor <i><b>Desire</b></i><i><b> </b></i>to fix <b>' America's True Problems '</b>.<br />
<br />
I can say this with complete conviction and sincerity... from both, my: <b><i>Knowledge of History</i></b> and <b><i>Understanding</i><i> of The Scriptures</i></b>. The question: is not if, but when, will <b>The United States of America</b> default upon its debts... and as <b>The Political Rhetoric</b> continues to escalate to unheard of new levels, I am rapidly growing more confident in this particular time frame! My own personal gut feeling, is that <b>August 2nd</b> will be the date.<br />
<br />
So, what will <b>' Really Happen '</b> when <b>The United States of America</b> defaults upon its debt obligations? For just one moment, let's consider the true ramifications....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Short Term Results Of <b>A Debt Default</b>:</span><br />
<ul><li><b>America </b>will lose its: <span style="color: yellow;">" Good Credit Rating "</span>.</li>
<li><b>Interest Rates </b>will go up for: <i>The United States Government</i>, <i>All 50 States</i>, <i>County and City Governments</i>, and <i>The Public At Large</i>.</li>
<li><b>Foreign Investors</b> will pull out of Our Domestic Markets.</li>
<li><b>The Stock and </b><b>Bond Markets</b> will both drop tremendously.</li>
<li> <b>The Banking and Credit Markets</b> will become even more tightfisted with their money.</li>
<li><b>The Commodities Markets</b> will soar into the stratosphere - before leveling off at much higher levels. </li>
<li><b>Platinum, Gold, and Silver</b> will skyrocket to all time new highs.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Like any other: <span style="color: yellow;">" Cause And Effect Situation "</span> - there will be both: <b><i>Winners</i></b> and <b><i>Losers</i></b> within all of these affected markets. The <b>' Winners '</b> will be those who traded paper assets - such as: <i>Dollars</i>, <i>Stocks</i>, <i>Bonds</i>, and <i>Securities</i> - for either: <b><i>Commodities</i></b>, or <b><i>True Coinage </i></b>[ Silver and Gold ]... while, the <b>' Losers '</b> will be those who fully trusted in those very same paper assets. Meanwhile, within <b>The Overall American Economy</b>, everybody will suffer as <b><i>The American Dollar</i></b> begins to rapidly depreciate! <br />
<br />
Moreover, <b>A New Era</b> of: <span style="color: yellow;">" Austerity Measures "</span> - will finally begin. The <b>American Safety Net</b> will be placed under extreme scrutiny; and many long established <b><i>Social Programs</i></b> will be cut: <i>Public Housing</i>, <i>Agricultural Supports</i>, <i>Food Stamps</i>, <i>Welfare</i>, <i>Medicaid</i>, <i>Block Grants</i>, <i>Pell Grants</i>, <i>The G.I. Bill</i>, <i>Veterans Benefits</i>, <i>Public Television</i>, <i>Public Radio</i>, <i>The Arts Council</i>, <i>The NEA</i>, etc.... In fact, the list is almost endless! But, this is only the beginning....<br />
<br />
Undoubtedly, <b>The Federal Government</b> will find it much easier to just print more money, than taking the heat from <b><i>All 340 Million Enraged Americans</i></b>. Therefore, the next phase will invariably begin. Welcome to <b>' Hyperinflation '</b>... the most financially devastating economic creation in all of human history! Every single nation that ever tried it, regretted it... but, for some strange and inexplicable reason, <b>The World's Economists</b> keep trying it over and over again. Who knows... maybe, it'll work this time? <b>Hello....</b><br />
<br />
So, why am I telling you this? Because, as all that printed paper becomes increasingly worthless, <b>Real Coinage</b> such as: <b><i>Gold</i></b>, and <b><i>Silver</i></b> - goes up in value, just as quickly as all that paper goes down! <b>Buy</b> some <b><i>Gold</i></b> and<b><i> Silver</i></b>... buy as much of it, as you can... and buy it now, before it goes up. Move your <b>IRA</b> and/or <b>401K</b> into <b><i>Gold </i></b>or<b><i> Silver</i> Indexed Funds</b> - even, if only temporarily... but, do something proactive for a change... and don't blame me, if you don't!<br />
<br />
Remember, <b>In The Fall Of 2007</b>, they told you that: <span style="color: yellow;">" America Is Fundamentally Sound "</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">" It's Public Debts Are Quite Manageable "</span>, <span style="color: yellow;">" The Housing Markets Are Completely Stable "</span>, and <span style="color: yellow;">" The Banking Industry Is A Great Investment "</span>... and they said it, right up until the very moment that they crashed it. Why? Because, they wanted you to buy all of those: <b style="color: yellow;">" Toxic Assets "</b> - from them, before the crash came! They knew what they were doing. Don't be fooled again....<br />
<br />
The only <b>' Safe Assets '</b> in a situation like this one are: <b><i>Commodities</i></b>, and <b><i>Real Money</i></b>.<b> </b>Meanwhile, <b>Gold</b> and <b>Silver</b> are the only <b>' Real Money '</b> on planet earth; and have been, for well over <b>4000 Years</b>. If you're not buying <b>Silver</b> and <b>Gold</b>, then you'll be one of the losers - when <b>America</b> inevitably defaults!<br />
<br />
And while we're on the subject of <b><i>Commodities</i></b>, I'd start thinking about establishing <b>' Your Own Personal Food Supply '</b>. A well-stocked <b>Pantry</b> couldn't hurt, when <b>America's Agricultural Heartland</b> has been flooded [ now ] for well over five months. You see, this year's grain crops are <b>This Winter's Food Supply</b>; and so far, there hasn't been one... and, if That Food Supply becomes scarce enough, all the <b>Silver</b> and <b>Gold</b> in the entire world couldn't buy it!<br />

One thing that history has taught us, is that when <b>' The Denials '</b> have become both: <b><i>Exceptionally Loud</i></b> and <b><i>Frequent</i></b> - The <b>Worst Case Scenario</b> is always fixing to happen! It happened with: <i>The Great Crash Of 1929</i>, <i>The Technology Bubble</i>, <i>The Mortgage Crisis</i>, <i>The Banking Crisis</i>, and <i>The Overall Worldwide Economy</i>... and it's, now, happening again with <b>Our National Debt Crisis</b>. As hard as it may be to accept, <b>The Federal Government</b> is just days from: <b style="color: yellow;">" <i>Defaulting On Its Debts</i>. "</b><br />
<br />
Just as those in: <b><i>Our American Government</i></b> and <b><i>Wall Street</i></b> - intentionally conspired to hide <b>' The Truth ' of The Impending Mortgage Crisis</b>, in 2007/2008 - even now, they're doing it all over again. Why give <b>The American Public</b> a false sense of Financial Security? Because someone has to buy <b>The Toxic Assets</b> that they're quietly getting rid of - in preparation, for <b><i>The </i><i>Upcoming Bad News</i></b>... and properly informed investors wouldn't dare to touch them! Why buy government bonds, that are going to be <b>Defaulted Upon</b>? Or, why buy government securities in a <b>Hyper-Inflated Economy</b>? No right minded individual would ever risk doing it... and therein lies <b>' The Real Problem '</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>President Barack Hussein Obama</b> went on television tonight - in order to prepare <b><i>America</i></b> for <b>The Impending Debt Default</b>; while shifting the blame for its eventual occurrence upon <b><i>The Republicans</i></b> in Congress. Not to be outflanked, however, <b>House Speaker John Boehner </b>did the exact same thing in blaming both: <b><i>The Democrats</i></b> and <b><i>President Obama</i></b>. Now here's where things get truly interesting... because, neither of them was actually lying... since, both: <b>The Democrats</b> and <b>The Republicans</b> are equally responsible! It's all just<b> ' A Shell Game '</b>, since we only have one actual party: <b style="color: yellow;">" The Democratic-Republicans "</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Contrary to popular opinion, it wasn't by: <i>Partisanship</i>, <i>Ignorance</i>, <i>Ineptitude</i>, or <i>Accident</i> - on either political side that has led us to this <b>Debt Default</b>. Since Both Political Parties are being controlled and manipulated by the very same: <b><i>Organizations</i></b>, <b><i>Corporations</i></b>, <b><i>Contributors</i></b>, and <b><i>Individuals</i></b> - our only reasonable conclusion is that - this <b>' Inevitable Outcome '</b> has been long engineered. Meanwhile, in <b><i>Isaiah Chapter 23</i></b>, it describes an <b>' End Time Nation '</b> known as: <b style="color: yellow;">" Latter Day Tyre "</b> - which shares over <b>200 Verifiable National Characteristics</b> with <b><i>The United States of America</i></b>... and no other nation - Past, or Present - shares more than just three....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Prophet Isaiah</b>, Wrote:</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">" Behold</span> [ Pay Attention ]<span style="color: yellow;">, the land of <b>The Chaldeans</b></span> [ I'm talking about a land founded by Rome ]<span style="color: yellow;">, This people which was not</span> [ they weren't from there, nor originally clumped together; but others brought them together ]<span style="color: yellow;">; <b>Assyria</b></span> [ The A<strike>ssy</strike>rian Peoples ] <span style="color: yellow;">founded it for <b>Wild Beasts</b> </span>[ Uncontrollable Tribes, Or Nations ] <span style="color: yellow;">of <b>The Desert</b> </span>[ they are originally from The Middle East ]<span style="color: yellow;">.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">They </span>[ The Aryan People ] <span style="color: yellow;">set up <b>Its Towers</b></span> [ built its great cities and skyscrapers ]<span style="color: yellow;">, They </span>[ The Aryan People ]<span style="color: yellow;"> raised up <b>Its Palaces</b></span> [ controlled and manipulated its governments ]<span style="color: yellow;">, And They</span> [ These Manipulative Men ] <span style="color: yellow;">brought it <b>To Ruin</b></span> [ and even destroyed it, right upon schedule, as planned ]<span style="color: yellow;">. "</span> <b><i>- Isaiah 23:13.</i></b></blockquote>
<br />
Now some of you might think, that I'm just another: <b style="color: yellow;">" Conspiracy Theorist "</b> - merely grasping at Biblical Straws... and others, that I'm just: <b style="color: yellow;">" A Religious Nut "</b> - seeking yet another following... and yet, nothing could be further from <b>' The Truth '</b>. If I am, however, then so was the prophet<b> Isaiah</b>. For, it was <b>Isaiah</b>, who plainly wrote:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">" For The Mighty One spoke thus to me with a strong hand</span> [ He boldly proclaimed to me ]<span style="color: yellow;">, and instructed me</span> [ and showed me these events in advance ] <span style="color: yellow;">that I should not walk in the way of this people</span> [ basing my understandings upon my own utter ignorance ]<span style="color: yellow;">, saying:</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">Do not say, <b>' A Conspiracy Theory</b>,<b> '</b> concerning all that this people call a conspiracy theory</span> [ because, it's a verifiable fact ]<span style="color: yellow;">, Nor be afraid of their threats </span>[ for they shall surely make them, quite vocally ]<span style="color: yellow;">, nor be troubled</span> [ because, I am with you always ]<span style="color: yellow;">. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">The Mighty One of Heaven, Him you shall hallow</span> [ Reverence Yahweh Alone ]<span style="color: yellow;">; Let Him be your fear</span> [ others can only harm your body ]<span style="color: yellow;">, And let Him be your dread </span>[ but, Yahweh holds the keys to eternal life ]<span style="color: yellow;">.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">He</span> [ Your Creator ] <span style="color: yellow;">will be as a sanctuary</span> [ a place of protection ]<span style="color: yellow;">, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both The Houses Of Israel</span> [ <b>Israel</b> The Christians, and <b>Judah</b> The Jews ]<span style="color: yellow;">, As a trap and a snare to The Inhabitants Of Jerusalem</span> [ those <a href="http://usa-prophecies.blogspot.com/2011/06/skull-and-bones-illuminati-322.html">Freemasons and Kabbalists</a> who currently inhabit it ]<span style="color: yellow;">, </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">And many among them</span> [ among both religious systems ] <span style="color: yellow;">shall stumble </span>[ shall be totally unprepared for what's happening ]<span style="color: yellow;">; They shall fall and be broken</span> [ lose their faith and turn away ]<span style="color: yellow;">, Be snared and taken </span>[ and, ultimately, be destroyed for their wickedness ]<span style="color: yellow;">.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">Bind up </span><b style="color: yellow;">The Testimony</b><span style="color: yellow;"> </span>[ complete The Reformation that I've commanded you ]<span style="color: yellow;">, Seal </span><b style="color: yellow;">The Law</b> [ My Commandments, Judgments, and Statutes ] <span style="color: yellow;">among My disciples </span>[ within My Holy Remnant who will listen ]<span style="color: yellow;">. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: yellow;">And I will wait upon The Mighty One</span> [ in my grave, until The Resurrection Day ]<span style="color: yellow;">, Who hides His face from</span> [ who no longer talks to ] <span style="color: yellow;">The House Of Jacob </span>[ The Twelve Tribes Of Israel ]<span style="color: yellow;">; And I will hope in Him </span>[ for, Yahweh keeps all of His promises ]<span style="color: yellow;">.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
[ I shall stand up, upon my own feet, and declare this ] <span style="color: yellow;">Here am I and The Children whom The Mighty One has given me</span> [ those who've listened to my words ]<span style="color: yellow;">! We are for signs and wonders in Israel</span> [ for we shall explain this message in advance of its happening ] <span style="color: yellow;">From The Mighty One of Heaven </span>[ Yahweh, Our Creator ]<span style="color: yellow;">, Who dwells in Mount Zion</span> [ in The Most Holy Place ]<span style="color: yellow;">. " </span> <b><i>- Isaiah 8:11-18.</i></b></blockquote>
<br />
See, what I mean? <b>Isaiah</b> has already told us <b>' The Reaction To Expect ' </b>at the sounding of <b><i>This Message</i></b>... and undoubtedly, it too shall come to pass - as so long ago prophesied! Why should we expect anything different? Those: <span style="color: yellow;">" Whose eyes are open to see, whose ears are open to hear, and whose hearts are open to True Knowledge "</span> - shall fully understand <b><i>The Importance</i></b> and <b><i>Relevant Significance</i></b> of this message... while, the rest will find their own personal excuses to mock it and continually refuse to listen. Personally, I don't care one way, or the other... I'm just <b>The Messenger</b>!<br />
<br />
But, who are those: <b style="color: yellow;">" Wild Beasts Of The Desert "</b> - that <b>Isaiah</b> is so clearly talking about? They are the<b> Nations Of Canaan</b>: <a href="http://usa-prophecies.blogspot.com/2011/06/judgment-against-tyre-edom-moab-and.html"><b><i>Tyre</i></b> </a>[ New England ], <a href="http://usa-prophecies.blogspot.com/2011/06/who-are-ten-lost-tribes-of-israel.html"><b><i>Israel</i></b></a> [ The Bible Belt ], <b><i>Edom</i></b> [ The Heartland ], <b><i>Moab</i></b> [ The Desert Southwest ], and <b><i>Ammon</i></b> [ The Pacific Northwest ] - the five missing tribes of <b>Ancient Samaria</b>... and they all live here, in <b><i>The United States of America</i></b>. Not only, is <b>America</b> mentioned in <b>' End Time Prophecy '</b>; but, it's mentioned almost as much as: <span style="color: yellow;"><b>" The Nation Of Babylon</b> </span>[ The European Union ]<span style="color: yellow;"> <b>"</b></span>.<br />
<br />
<b>The American Debt Default</b> wasn't even <b>' The Beginning Of Our Troubles '</b>! Look around you and truly begin to pay attention.<br />

<br />
<br />
Our: <i><b>American Debt Default</b></i>, <i><b>Monetary Hyperinflation</b></i>, and <i><b>Collapse Of The Dollar</b></i> - are merely the obvious manifestations of a much larger spiritual problem.<b><i> The United States of America</i></b> is headed for its own date with destiny... <b>The Judgment Of Yahweh</b> has already been pronounced. There is nothing more that I [ or, anyone else ] can do to save it! What we can do, however, is: <b style="color: yellow;">" Make our path's straight for Yahweh "</b>, and seek out: <b style="color: yellow;">" His valuable knowledge "</b>... and maybe, just maybe... He'll find us acceptable, among <b>' The Beloved '</b>.<br />
<br />
By the way, I have no intention of starting [ or founding ] <b>' A Church '</b>. Besides, <b>The Sign Of A True Watchman</b> is: <b style="color: yellow;">" The Voice Of One Calling In The Wilderness "</b>. The majority has always been wrong... and that's the reason why <b><i>America</i></b> is in the mess that it's in. You see, <b>Debt Defaults</b> are the inevitable result of a political majority living in <b>A Popular Democracy</b>! A fact which our forefathers clearly explained to us, a very long time ago....<br />

By the way, this is only <b>The First 24 Highly-Unique Characteristics</b> of: <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><b style="color: yellow;">Latter Day Tyre</b><span style="color: yellow;">."</span> There are hundreds of these characteristics to draw upon; and every last one of them, positively indicates that <b>America</b> is unquestionably<b><i> The Latter Day Nation of Tyre</i></b>! Just as: <b>England</b> is <b><i>Sidon</i></b>, <b>Germany</b> is <b><i>A<strike>ssy</strike>ria</i></b>, <b>Italy</b> is <b><i>Chaldea</i></b>, <b>The European Union</b> is <b><i>Babylon The Great</i></b>, and <b>The Commonwealth of Nations</b> are <b><i>The Coastal Cities of Phillistia</i><i></i></b>. All of these findings can be readily-proven through a study of: <b>World History</b> and <b>The Scriptures</b>.<br />
<br />
So, <b>What Does This Mean For</b> <b>America</b>? The United States has very little time left before Yahweh entirely destroys it. <b><i>In 2016</i></b>, <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><b style="color: yellow;">The Great Experiment</b><span style="color: yellow;">"</span> will come to its ultimate and tragic conclusion. It will be invaded by numerous other nations... be utterly uprooted... and absolutely nothing will be left of it! However, the most destructive <b>Civil War</b> ever to be fought - throughout our entire human history - will begin [either]: <b><i>The Summer of 2012</i></b>, or <i><b>The Summer of 2013</b></i> - just prior to this: <span style="color: yellow;">"<b>Treading Down By The Nations</b>."</span><br />
<br />
At that time, <b>Israel</b> will at last leave: <span style="color: yellow;">"<b>Its Southern Coastlands</b>"</span> - in their fateful pilgrimage back to <b><i>Mount Zion</i></b> and <b><i>The Promised Land</i></b>. Nor, shall any nation impede them from doing so - since, <b>Yahweh's Blessings </b>and <b>Personal Protection</b> shall be fully upon them. You see, they have an appointment with their own promised destiny... and I [myself] shall be among them! <br />
<blockquote><span style="color: yellow;">"<b>In that time </b></span><b style="color: yellow;"><i>A Present</i></b><b><span style="color: yellow;"> will be brought to </span></b><i><b style="color: yellow;">Yahweh</b></i><span style="color: yellow;"><b>, The Mighty One, From a people tall and smooth of skin, And from a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide</b> - To the place of the name of </span><b style="color: yellow;">Yahweh</b><span style="color: yellow;">, The Mighty One, To Mount Zion."</span> <b><i>- Isaiah 18:7.</i></b></blockquote><blockquote><span style="color: yellow;">"Who are these who fly like a cloud, And like doves to their roosts? <b>Surely </b></span><b style="color: yellow;">The Coastlands</b><span style="color: yellow;"><b> shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish [Latter Day Tyre] will come first, To bring your sons from afar, Their Silver and their Gold with them,</b> To the name of Yahweh, Your Mighty One, And to The Holy One of Israel [Yahshua His True Son], Because He has glorified you."</span> <b><i>- Isaiah 60:8-9.</i></b> </blockquote><br />
<i><b>America's Next Civil War</b></i> will be <b>Israel's:</b> <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><b style="color: yellow;">Baptism By Fire</b><span style="color: yellow;">"</span> - as so long ago prophesied.<br />
<blockquote><span style="color: yellow;">"Behold, I have refined you, but not as Silver; <b>I have tested you in </b></span><b style="color: yellow;">The Furnace Of Affliction</b><span style="color: yellow;"><b>. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;</b> For how should My Name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another."</span> <b><i>- Isaiah 48:10.</i></b></blockquote><blockquote><span style="color: yellow;">"I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; <b>In </b></span><b style="color: yellow;">Their Affliction</b><span style="color: yellow;"><b> they will diligently seek Me.</b>"</span> <b><i>- Hosea 5:15.</i></b></blockquote><blockquote><span style="color: yellow;">"I will sow them among the peoples, And they shall remember Me in far off countries; They shall live, together with their children, And they shall return. I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, And gather them from Assyria [Latter Day Tyre]. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, Until no more room is found for them. <b>He shall pass through the sea with </b></span><b style="color: yellow;">Affliction</b><span style="color: yellow;"><b>, And strike the waves of the sea;</b> All the depths of The River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria [Latter Day Tyre] shall be brought down, And the scepter of Egypt shall depart."</span> <b><i>- Zechariah 10:9-11.</i></b></blockquote><br />
<div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">Undoubtedly, this is not the kind of article that you might expect from someone who calls himself: "<b>The Real American</b>."

</tbody></table>As many of you already know, I both: <i><b>Think</b></i> and <i><b>Write</b></i> - upon a wide <b>Diversity Of Topics</b>.... for, I am not just, "<b>The Real American,</b>" but I am also, "<b>A True Believer</b>" in Yahweh [God]. I consider: <i>History</i>, <i>Religion</i>, and <i>Politics</i> to be <b><i>The Three Co-equal Threads</i></b> upon which all societies are firmly built - as did, My Ancestors, before me....<br />
<br />
And having spent a great deal of time in both: <b><i>Spiritual Study</i></b> and <b><i>Reflection</i></b>, Yahweh has unlocked certain amazing things - which shall shortly come to pass. And yet, I wonder, if there are any who are [honestly] prepared to hear them? Alas, the message may fall entirely upon: <span style="color: yellow;">"deaf ears..."</span> and the scriptural references may be placed before completely: <span style="color: yellow;">"blind eyes..."</span> but such is the burden of <b>Yahweh's True Watchmen</b>, to witness: <span style="color: yellow;">"The Darkness and Gnashing Of Teeth"</span> all around him; even as he points out safety, from the rooftops! This, Truly, is Vanity... and yet, we must all [still] pass through it.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Is <b>America</b> Mentioned In The Scriptures?</span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Actually, there are <b>Numerous References To Her</b> throughout both: <b><i>The Old</i></b> and <b><i>New Testaments</i></b>... and one needs only to open his eyes to startlingly see them! <b>Isaiah Chapter 18</b> is just such an interesting example. Bear in mind, that <b><i>The Heading</i></b> isn't part of the scriptures; and has been [incorrectly] added at a much later date - by those who seek to confuse and obfuscate <b>Yahweh</b>'s<b> True Knowledge</b>..<br />
<br />
<b>The Heading</b> says, <span style="color: yellow;">"A Proclamation Against Ethiopia"</span> - while <b>The Scripture Itself </b>says: <span style="color: yellow;">"Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, and which sends its ambassadors by sea."</span> Can it then, be talking about <b><i>Ethiopia</i></b>? You decide.... And while you do, consider that nation's <b>Truly Amazing Description</b>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Isaiah Chapter 18:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="color: yellow;">"Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings</span> [for they posses numerous methods of air transportiaton]<span style="color: yellow;">, Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia </span>[it is an entirely different nation]<span style="color: yellow;">, Which sends its ambassadors by sea</span> [because, it is across the world's oceans]<span style="color: yellow;">, saying, 'Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin</span> [they are physically tall and clean shaven]<span style="color: yellow;">, To a people terrible from their beginning onward</span> [other nations largely fear them]<span style="color: yellow;">, A nation powerful and treading down</span> [they invade others, but are not invaded]<span style="color: yellow;">, Whose land the rivers divide</span> [their nation is bisected by one single massive river system]." </li>
</ul><br />
Sound familiar, yet? But, let's continue....<br />
<ul><li> <span style="color: yellow;">"All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth; When he lifts up his banner on the mountains, you see it</span> [everyone acknowledges its comings and goings]<span style="color: yellow;">; And when he blows a trumpet, you hear it</span> [they all watch him wage war]."</li>
</ul><br />
Of course, they do, thanks to <b>American Television</b> and the hegemony of the <b><i>American Major Media</i></b>. No surprise there....<br />
<ul><li>"<span style="color: yellow;">For so Yahweh said to me, 'I will take my rest, And I will look from My dwelling place Like clear heat in sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.' For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect And the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks</span> [He will gather all those of the new spiritual growth for Himself] <span style="color: yellow;">And take away and cut down the branches. They</span> [the various branches or states] <span style="color: yellow;">will be left together for the mountain birds of prey</span> [and there shall be an "Air War" among them] <span style="color: yellow;">And for the beasts of the earth</span> [other nations shall also be involved in that war]<span style="color: yellow;">; The birds of prey will summer on them</span> [first will come the Air War]<span style="color: yellow;">, And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them</span> [then the other nations will come to tread upon them].</li>
</ul><br />
This is pretty serious stuff, folks.... <b>America </b>is approaching her end - as, <b><i>A Worldwide Political Power</i></b>! It is <b>The End Of An Era</b>, which few have ever suspected. But, let's move on... there is yet <b><i>One More Message</i></b>, to consider.<br />
<ul><li>"<span style="color: yellow;">In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh</span> [the children of Spiritual Israel - both: Christian and Jew - shall be returned to Yahweh] <span style="color: yellow;">From a people tall and smooth of skin, And from a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide</span> [The United States] <span style="color: yellow;">- To the place of the name of Yahweh </span>[to Modern Day Israel]<span style="color: yellow;">, To Mount Zion</span> [to Jerusalem].</li>
</ul><br />
<b>America </b>has been home to a large number of <b><i>Yahweh's Spiritual Children</i></b> - both: <i>Christian</i> and <i>Jewish</i>. Amazingly, many of these [self proclaimed] <b>Christians</b> are the genetic descendants of "<b>The Lost Ten Tribes of Ancient Israel</b>." They are very easy to spot, when one knows what to honestly look for. This is because, They possess <b><i>The True Seed of Yahweh</i></b> within them. They are not your average believers who quietly sit in the pews upon Sunday, but possess a tremendous zeal for <b>The Scriptures</b> and <b>Their Creator </b>- who inspired them.<br />
<br />
These shall be removed from <b>America</b> - by ship and by airplane - and taken in their vast numbers <b><i>Back To Israel</i></b>; for <b>Yahweh's Prophesied Glorification</b>! Consider, the following scriptures: <br />
<ul><li>"<span style="color: yellow;">Who are these who fly like a cloud, And like doves to their roosts?</span> [the descendants of Ancient Israel shall be flown back to Modern Day Israel] <span style="color: yellow;">Surely the coast lands shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first</span> [still others shall travel by ship even before this], <span style="color: yellow;">To bring your sons from afar</span> [self explanatory]<span style="color: yellow;">, Their silver and their gold with them</span> [they shall not be stripped of their wealth, by those who stay behind]<span style="color: yellow;">, To the name of Yahweh your Mighty One, And to the Holy One of Israel </span>[They shall accept both: Yahweh The Father and Yahshua His Son]<span style="color: yellow;">, Because He has glorified you </span>[Yahweh is now restoring Israel to its originally intended position for His name's sake]. <b>- Isaiah 60:8-9.</b></li>
</ul><br />
<b>The </b><b>Jews</b> [or tribe of Judah] who are currently living in <b><i>Modern Day Israel</i></b> have only been a token or partial fulfillment of the scriptures regarding <b>Israel's Final Restoration</b> to its once native land. <b>The Other Ten Tribes</b> - many of whom, currently live in <b><i>The United States</i></b> - shall be regathered, as well. So too shall certain good seed be gathered, who are <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><b style="color: yellow;">Not Genetically Of Israel</b><span style="color: yellow;">..."</span> and these, also, shall be grafted in among them.<br />
<br />
So how did so many descendants of <b>The Ancient Israelites</b> [honestly] end up in <b><i>America</i></b>? It was <b>Yahweh's Spirit </b>acting within them unknowingly. They came here, in drips and drabs, searching for a place to <b>Freely Practice Their Religion</b> conscientiously. For they have always enjoyed a <b><i>Spiritual Connection</i></b> to <b>Yahweh</b> secretly encoded within their family genes. Even though, they may not have known it, they were already chosen by <b>Yahweh</b> even before they were born; and all the while <b><i>His Spirit Within Them</i></b>, was quietly completing its work!frank barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028338067353019974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871827860061767657.post-10769963046854563592010-10-31T06:14:00.005-04:002010-10-31T06:23:43.457-04:00The Truth About America Is Consolidating With "Real American Truth" Site<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

As much as it pains me to do this, one of them has been to reduce my current personal workload - by eliminating two of my current blogs online. Thus, I have been forced to choose among: "<b>The Truth About America</b>" and my "<b><a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/" id="aptureLink_zdXXBNUG6P">Real American Truth</a></b>" site, due to their frequent informational overlap - with regard to individual political topics.<br />
<br />
Although this site was my first one, and is considerably larger with regards to actual topical content, <b>Real American Truth</b> [honestly] does much better with respect to <i>Search Engine Optimization</i>. Ultimately, <b>SEO</b> <b>Issues</b> were my overriding concern - given these substantial structural changes. Consequently, I have decided to consolidate and move all of my articles over to the much newer blog site. I had hoped to keep them both online, however, my new job duties are presenting too big an obstacle - to maintain them both - over the long term.<br />
<br />
Although this blog will remain up for the next couple of months, as I transition my articles between these two blogs, all future postings will be uploaded upon the "<b><a href="http://www.real-american-truth.blogspot.com/" id="aptureLink_gyYajozKgL">Real American Truth</a></b>" site from now on.... Please feel free to check it out, and bookmark the new editorial page! In the meantime, I will be moving my current "<b>Truth About America</b>" blog archives as quickly as time permits me to do so... so that I may get back to my regularly posting of our rapidly developing and largely historical political events.<br />

Even though the individual human players will continue to change over time, their Normative and Inherently Human Characteristics do not... nor, do their: <i>Personal Agendas</i>, <i>Political Tactics</i>, or <i>Situational Failings</i>. People are inherently drawn toward that, which is their greatest [and potentially destructive] human weakness: <b>Alcoholics</b> to <i>Alcohol</i>, <b>Junkies</b> to <i>Drugs</i>, <b>Gamblers</b> to <i>Casinos</i>, <b>Sex Addicts</b> to <i>Prostitutes</i>, <b>Robbers</b> to <i>Banks</i>... and <b>Politicians</b> to: <i>Money</i>, <i>Notoriety</i>, and <i>Raw Political Power</i>. <br />
<br />
Since the "<b>Universal Laws Of Cause And Effect</b>" remain constant and never change over time, truly insightful statements are timeless and of considerable value - irrespective of any other contributing environmental factors. Of such caliber, are the following <i><b>Political Statements</b></i>:<br />

</tbody></table><a href="http://www.lesjones.com/www/images/posts/Politics-essence.gif" id="aptureLink_MayB2ETTlS" style="float: left; padding: 0px 6px;"></a>There are many definitions for the term "<b>Politics</b>." However, very few of these textbook definitions are truly succinct, concise, and clearly explanative of this frequently utilized social term. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For Instance:</span><br />
<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics" id="aptureLink_ZognarGnLQ">Wikipedia says</a>: "<b>Politics</b> is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. It consists of social relations involving authority or power<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"></sup> and refers to the regulation of a political unit,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"></sup> and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy."</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/politics" id="aptureLink_xdGg9chs3z">FreeDictionary.com says</a>: "<b>Politics</b> is the art [or science] of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs."</li>
<li><a href="http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Politics/" id="aptureLink_5LDybm0Vlc">Knowledgerush.com says</a>:<b> <span style="font-weight: normal;">"</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Politics</b></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></b>is the study and conduct of decision-making power (who's got it, and who hasn't) at the inter-social and societal levels." </li>
</ul> <b> </b><br />
<b>Politics</b> is, "The art of social compromise - within a much larger society - of opposite and competing factions." Contrary to all of those previous definitions, <b>Politics</b> has absolutely nothing to do with government specifically; or even directly! Politics is a [mere] fact of innate human life - which occurs everywhere two, or more, individual humans are gathered together. It occurs within America's: <i>churches</i>, <i>businesses</i>, <i>civic organizations</i>, <i>schools</i>, and even <i>public playgrounds</i>. <u>Everywhere some sort of social compromise is [honestly] required, politics is an absolute societal necessity!</u><br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0807819964&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Moreover, it is very important that you factually and deeply understand this societal reality... for everything else, fully hinges upon this conceptual understanding of precisely what, "Politics," is. Therefore, I shall shall state it again: "<b>Politics Is Compromise!</b>" And as we already know, compromises are not necessarily: moral, ethical, legal, well-thought-out, correct, or [even] lawfully derived. They are [merely] amenable to the majority of the persons in physical attendance, at that specific point in time... nothing more, and nothing less.<br />
<br />
Consequently, our nation has constitutionally verifiable laws to override them - as necessary, to achieve a more proper balance. A preponderance of either: <b>The Supreme Court Justices</b>, <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/09/do-states-have-right-of-secession.html" id="aptureLink_fdYBaB70re">The Individual State Legislatures</a>, and/or <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/04/they-are-public-servants-not-rulers.html" id="aptureLink_McEYWoWz6o">The General Population</a> can willfully override any law - if believed to be factually unconstitutional - through the various political mechanisms already set in place by our enlightened forefathers. Among these mechanisms are: <b>Judicial Review</b>, <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/return-of-state-nullification.html" id="aptureLink_pN3V5QSQi5">State Nullification</a>, and <b>National Constitutional Amendment</b>. However, these are not the only means at our physical disposal... but rather, the most peaceable means [now] openly available.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1572527943&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Although <b>Politics</b> isn't an exclusively <i>governmental function</i>, all functional governments rely heavily upon it - in order to efficiently and peaceably operate. Let's face it, a "<b>Zero Tolerance Attitude</b>" is simply a very dysfunctional methodology - when it comes to dealing with other <i>Intelligent</i> and <i>Freedom Loving Individuals</i>! Moreover, America wasn't founded upon the infamous principles of dictatorship... but rather, upon the more honorable human philosophy of: <b>Individual Freedom</b>, <b>Societal Brotherhood</b>, and <b>Lawful Equality</b>. By the way, Zero Tolerance doesn't work very well in our own public schools - with: the students, the parents, or [even] the teachers... and you can't rightly blame them, either. It creates more [severe] problems, than it honestly addresses!<br />
<br />
Consequently, <b>Politics</b> - like all social compromise - must be subject to both: "<a href="http://www.helium.com/items/1754872-the-effect-of-cultural-darwinism-upon-our-american-society" id="aptureLink_6OlSOQqh7e">Moral And Ethical Precepts</a> [ie.. spiritual and religious understanding]," and "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/06/lessons-from-world-history-two.html" id="aptureLink_vM5RbRWCga">Well-Understood Causal And Effectual Realities</a> [ie.. previously well-understood historical perspective]." Lest, it ultimately generates the resultant negative circumstances - which will invariably lead to: <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/08/american-education-merely-one-piece-in.html" id="aptureLink_sjYwWnE1rh">a social, cultural, and political breakdown</a> - within that overall fragmenting society! It happens within America's: <i>churches</i>, <i>businesses</i>, <i>civic organizations</i>, <i>schools</i>, and <i>public playgrounds</i>; and contrary to our common public beliefs, it happens within our man-made governments, as well.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001E6RFKW&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Although it usually occurs upon a much smaller scale - as in: <i>Public Protestations</i>, <i>Labor Strikes</i>, <i>Sit-Ins</i>, <i>Lock-Outs</i>, <i>Peaceful Demonstrations</i>, and <i>Citywide Riots</i> - there is no rational [or, even sane] reason to believe that it cannot happen upon a demonstratively much larger scale. Even our own <b>American History </b>clearly shows such noticeable past occurrences, as: "The American Revolution," "Daniel Shay's Rebellion," "The Whiskey Rebellion," "The Abolitionist Insurrection," and "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/causes-of-american-civil-war.html" id="aptureLink_xSvKnnpwzQ">The American Civil War</a>" - to name only a few of the more notable ones... meanwhile, numerous others [honestly] come to mind - to the well-read American historian! <br />
<br />
This is not to say, that such <b>Societal Calamities</b> are factually welcomed, or warmly desired, by anyone... but, they do: actually occur [from time to time], and honestly serve a highly necessary social function - in: <i>heightening</i>, <i>focusing</i>, and <i>channeling </i>our largely apathetic attentions; to where it is largely past due and/or more sorely needed - as an overall society!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Consequently, our ancestors spoke of it, thusly:</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/thomasjefferson/" id="aptureLink_Uuqp8UNvQK">Thomas Jefferson</a><b>:</b> <span style="color: yellow;">"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... </span><u style="color: yellow;">And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.</u><span style="color: yellow;">"</span> </li>
<li> <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/johnadams" id="aptureLink_ckwLTIS7Eu">John Adams</a><b>:</b> <span style="color: yellow;">"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; <u>therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.</u>"</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/signers/adams_s.htm" id="aptureLink_icNJmK5QTV">Samuel Adams</a><b>: </b><span style="color: yellow;">"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/info/index.htm" id="aptureLink_rGkhYlpgYc">Benjamin Franklin</a><b>:</b> <span style="color: yellow;">"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."</span></li>
</ul><b></b><br />
<br />
Although I cited only four examples, in this article, I could have [just as easily] quoted from among thousands of well-documented individual references! The personal and corporate sentiments of <b>Our Eloquent Ancestors</b> were abundantly clear and equally shared by most Americans - for at least, the first one hundred and fifty years of our Republic's 234 year history. Nor, have "<b>Real Americans</b>" - such as I - ever abandoned, or spiritually disdained them, over that remaining number of years... and if you have, may your conscience finally and fully rebuke you - for the political miscreant, that you honestly are! <b>In America:</b> "<span style="color: yellow;">Freedom Is A Constitutional Birthright</span>," "<span style="color: yellow;">A Lawful And Contractual Obligation</span>," "<span style="color: yellow;">A Perpetual Societal Covenant</span>," and "<span style="color: yellow;">The Last Testimonial Will Of Our Most Generous And Freedom Loving Forefathers....</span>"<br />
<br />
Although <b>The Devil and his Angelic [or, even Human] Minions</b> will always speak glowingly about <i>Individual And Personal Freedom</i> - when desiring: immoral, unethical, un-equitable, and unlawful changes... they have no stomach for its factual existence, in the practice of human reality! <b>Social Empowerment</b> is always employed largely at someone else's expense - whether through: <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/08/truth-behind-american-taxation-mass.html" id="aptureLink_3lRsGCLGQX">Economic Servitude</a>, <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/06/false-left-right-paradigm-in-action.html" id="aptureLink_IxTeAb2jdv"><i>Unbalanced Political Disparities</i></a>, or <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/06/pre-crime-prolonged-detention-and-rfid.html" id="aptureLink_Eh6rfF1w5g"><i>Legislative Tyrannies</i></a> [of real and/or contrived political majorities] - in whatever manner that will situation-ally suit, their own current personal needs and/or expressed desires.<br />
<br />
This is what our <b>Founding Fathers</b> fully understood, due to their Spiritually Inspired: Moral and Ethical foundations... and, it is <b>American Truth</b> - in a nutshell. Wake Up, America.... It's time for every "Real American" to come to the aid of their nation! We must demand that our government comes into compliance with <b>The Constitution</b> immediately.... We must stand up for our <b>God-given Freedoms</b> and <b>Rights</b> as fully empowered <i>Free Men</i> and <i>True Americans</i>.... We must thoughtfully consider and individually act upon: "<b>Our Own Best Interests</b>" - lest they continue to [arrogantly] perceive, that: <span style="color: yellow;">"They may lead us like sheep, to the slaughterhouse of political history."</span>frank barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028338067353019974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871827860061767657.post-2586023773302276262010-09-26T08:23:00.000-04:002010-09-26T08:23:06.754-04:00The True Dangers Of American Bureaucracy<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The <b>Bureaucratic System</b> is patently un-American.</td></tr>
</tbody></table><a href="http://egotron.com/infocom/images/bureaucracy.jpg" id="aptureLink_hJEO9ZNqaG" style="float: left; padding: 0px 6px;"></a>Although many Americans have grown increasingly frustrated with our <b>American Bureaucratic System</b> over the last couple of decades, most are simply resigned to the fact that this is merely the cost of existing in a modern and democratic society. But, is it? Is "<b>Bureaucracy</b>" a functionally necessary part of the modern democratic process? And if so, what real function does it honestly and truthfully serve? More importantly, is it even a constitutionally recognized form of governmental authority and power? Let's explore these questions and more... while turning our attention to, "<b>The True Dangers Of Our American Bureaucracy</b>."<br />
<br />
The purpose of Bureaucracy is to create a top down pyramidal structure - wherein orders may given to those beneath - in which all commands may be issued upon a need to know basis and each succeeding level downward may be compartmentalized with respect to the amount [or level] of knowledge being given. To put it simply:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bureaucracy Is "<b>The Methodology Of Secret Societies</b>"</span><br />
<br />
For Instance:<br />
<ul><li> The Executive at the top wants a Nuclear Weapon to be built to destroy another country.</li>
<li>The DOD is told to build one - for unstated reasons of executive necessity.</li>
<li>One Contractor is ordered to build a rocket motor Propulsion system - for whatever potential payload.</li>
<li>Another Contractor is ordered to build a guidance system for a missile - of some unknown type.</li>
<li>Yet another Contractor is told to build a nuclear device of a set size and megaton payload.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, thousands of scattered employees build individual components - for dozens of unnamed and unexplained devices - as ignorantly uninformed participants. </li>
</ul><br />

This promotes: <i>Secrecy</i>, <i>Blind Obedience</i>, <i>Psychotic Behavior</i>, and <i>Zero Accountability</i> - from anyone below the very top of the pyramid. <b>Bureaucracies</b> can accomplish many horrific things that cannot be achieved otherwise - due to the effect of individual consciences being spread throughout an official organization. Many of the world's most horrendous occurrences were the preplanned results of <b>Bureaucratic Heads</b> working in secret - through this type of system... while, the unknowing assistance of millions, accomplished these tasks.<br />
<br />
The greatest irony, of this fact, is that these <b>bureaucratically driven systems</b> frequently utilize their own targeted enemies to devise [and produce] the very means of their own destruction. For instance, it was Jewish<b> </b>slave labor which built <b>The Nazi Crematoriums</b> at: <i>Auschwitz</i>, <i>Birchanau</i>, <i>Dachau</i>, etc.... This is one of the great wonders of the Ancient Babylonian Bureaucratically Devised System - now being utilized by virtually every nation upon earth today. <b>Adolf Hitler</b> was merely a man, but his <i>NAZI Bureaucratic Structure</i> amplified his individual power - by tens of millions of times over. In the end, his wielded power threatened to fully consume our planet!<br />

Lest everyone else acquire our: <i>military technologies</i>, <i>battle strategies</i>, <i>deployment information</i>, and <i>organizational status</i>. Consequently, <b>The United States Constitution</b> allowed for the creation of a National Military Bureaucracy - underneath <i>Executive</i> and <i>Presidential Control</i>. Moreover, The <b>Unified Code Of Military Justice</b>, or <b>U.C.M.J.</b>, was devised - at that time - to ensured that all orders must also be <i>Constitutionally Lawful</i>. Consequently, we have the most <b>Checked</b> and <b>Balanced Armed Forces</b> upon Earth! <br />
<br />
Our Officers must take an oath to, "<b>Uphold And Protect The Constitution</b> against all enemies both: <i>Foreign</i> and <i>Domestic</i>" - for precisely this reason... they have been instructed to conscientiously refuse all <b>unlawful orders</b> - under actual penalty of prosecution... and their primary allegiance is to the preservation of our All-Important Founding Societal Contract - not to the President, or [even] Congress! This is very important for us to remember! Luckily, for us, many of our officers still do.... <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But What About <b>Outside Of The Military</b>? </span><br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0930852710&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>However, in the last one hundred years of American history, our leaders have devised all sorts of other governmental bureaucracies neither: authorized, nor envisioned - by <b>The United States Constitution</b>! Nor, has The Constitution ever been properly amended to allow the creation of even one of these bureaucratic organizations, during this time of ever increasing political change - being forcefully shoved down the throats of our increasingly unhappy citizenry. Meanwhile, most important of all, most of these compartmentalized bureaucracies are <i><b>political hybrids</b></i> - which wield both: <i>Executive</i> and <i>Legislative Power</i>. Amazingly, as it may honestly seem, some even exercise <i>Judicial Authorities</i> as well.<br />
<br />
Whereas, The Constitution clearly delineated a visible "<b>Separation Of Authorities And Powers</b>" - our government has been increasingly consolidating these three distinct functions under one heavily bureaucratic branch. While <b>Congress</b> writes fewer and fewer actual laws, choosing instead to authorize entire new bureaucratic agencies under the authority of <b>The President</b>, thousands of unelected bureaucrats are creating: <i>Official Policies</i>, <i>Governmental Procedures</i>, <i>National Regulations</i>, and <i>Arbitrational Rulings</i> - which are officially stated to carry the full weight and effect of our actually <b>Legislated Statutory Laws</b>.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1596985054&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>The <b>Executive Branch</b> has no <i>Legislative Authority</i> [whatsoever] to delegate... and <b>Congress</b> cannot <i>Lawfully Delegate</i> such clearly defined "Legislative Authorities" to any other branch of government - without a <b>Constitutional Amendment</b> expressly allowing them to do so. Moreover, it violates all three philosophical aspects of our foundational document - its: <i>Letter</i>, <i>Spirit</i>, and <i>Intention</i>. When one solitary and unscrupulous bureaucratic agency can fully act as: Judge, Jury, and Executioner - we are living under a tyranny most foul! Whether it's [seemingly] benevolent, or not - to certain people - is entirely irrelevant. After all, a great many Germans thought Hitler's policies were absolutely fabulous! Isn't that [factually] so?<br />
<br />
Finally, where is the actual necessity for: <i>Compartmentalization</i>, <i>Autocracy</i>, and <i>Secrecy</i> in commonly legislative matters? If our government is merely doing the <b>Expressed</b> and <b>Consensual Will</b> of: "We The People," then why can't these administrators stand for political election and open debate of all the relevant issues? Are they afraid, that they might [sometimes] get fired, like those currently in Congress? <b>Congress</b> alone has the <i>Authority</i> and <i>Power To Write Laws</i>... neither: The President, nor The Courts may do so. Wake Up America, this is still your country and no amount of unconstitutional laws can change that!

</tbody></table>For those of you, who have been following <b>The Real American</b>'s internet presence over the last 8 months, you have probably noted that my: organizational skills, writing style, and online capabilities have been largely and rapidly improving. Let's face it, folks, my blogs have improved considerably, my postings are becoming more functionally informational, and I am finally beginning to get noticed online! And either it's a complete and total fluke, or my overall ranking in the search engines has [even] begun to increase substantially, as well. We are now on the very first page, for a number of search-able terms, and in the very first position for some.<br />
<br />
As one, of over <b>30 million Unemployed Americans</b>, I started out with nothing but a computer and a dream - to largely assist my fellow hurting Americans. That vision was to provide an open and unrestricted outlet for <b>The Truth</b>, as our ancestors understood it to be and as many of us continue to understand it. Whether it is "Politically Correct," or not, is entirely irrelevant - while honestly considering our current dilemma! Of course, <b>The Truth</b> has seldom [if ever] been politically correct in any nation and particularly in ours....<br />
<br />
<ul><li>If <i><b>Equality Under The Law</b></i> is politically incorrect, then so be it. It is still "<b>The Law</b>" - even when we continually fail to acknowledge it!</li>
<li>If <i><b>Our Freedom Of Speech</b></i> is now being viewed as "<b>Domestic Terrorism</b>" - by those at the top - then they better start reading those documents that they've sworn to willingly uphold and protect!</li>
<li>And if <i><b>Our Newspapers</b></i> and <b><i>Media Outlets</i></b> are refusing to do their own assigned jobs, then others will inevitably step up and do it for them. <b>Freedom Of The Press</b> doesn't belong to our corporate conglomerates alone.</li>
</ul><br />

The war, currently raging, upon the battleground of our American Public Arena is every bit as important as the military theaters, that our troops are currently and physically engaged in. For America is now rapidly approaching a <b><i>philosophical </i></b><i>and</i><b><i> spiritual crossroads</i></b> - which we cannot allow her to politically cross.<br />
<br />
The destruction, that fully awaits us there, will be incalculable in all relevant terms of human measure! Consequently, I had to somehow become more politically active and openly involved. Nor, is just voting for a carefully-vetted and craftily-devised list of <b>International Elitists</b>, what I [honestly] consider a useful amount of political involvement.<br />
<br />
Consequently, I have worked hard at expanding and improving my own <i>God-given Talents</i> and <i>Skills</i> - as I minimally understood them to be... and in the end, I ended up here - as a freelance writer and blogger! Currently, I am in the process of producing a number of informational <b>Youtube Videos</b> - to assist in educating the public, with respect towards our <i>Traditional American Philosophical Ideology</i>. They will be uploaded on Youtube - as they come available - within the next few months. In the meantime, I have recently uploaded the following introduction for the <a href="http://www.real-american-truth.blogspot.com/" id="aptureLink_lSSVmLBgBQ">"<b>Real American Truth</b>" blog site</a> - utilizing these new video capabilities.

</tbody></table>Contrary to what we so often hear, there is no officially sanctioned "<b>Two Party System</b>" in the <i>United States of America</i>. Nor, has there ever been one as such. What there really is, is a political reality. In every properly functioning democracy there are always numerous voices seeking to be heard... and so it is in ours. Throughout our illustrious history, we have had no fewer than five political parties at any given time. And at other times, we have had even more than that! So why do we always hear about the so-called <b>Two Party System</b>... and to [honestly] what does it refer?<br />
<br />
Our nation, unlike many other political democracies, was not designed for rule by a coalition or even parliamentarian government. <b>The Electoral System</b> - which was set into place at the time of our founding - requires our executive leadership to have more than fifty percent of our votes, to govern at the time of election. In fact, our use of electors - rather than <b>Total Popular Votes</b> - was primarily to assure this singular outcome. Otherwise, multiple candidates would lead to a potential "Total Deadlock" - under just such a political system. It is important to note, that <i>Electors</i> do not ever have to vote the same as their home State constituencies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1563881500&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Of course, there are secondary purposes for the adoption of an <b>Electoral College System</b> - such as our own. For one thing, it was thought that: intelligent, well-educated, and conscientious <i>Electors</i> could override the will of the people in electing a <b>despot</b> or <b>tyrant</b> - through largely charismatic and popular political means. For another, if the resultant determining votes were frequently being cast by <i>Congress</i>, then the public would rightly perceive it as a tremendous conflict of interest... since the majority party in Congress would inescapably control both: branches of <b>Executive</b> and <b>Legislative Authority</b>. As it is, Congress is the sole determinant of an electoral tie - which fortunately has never yet occurred in our 234 years of history. <br />
<br />
Why is all of this so important? <b>Traditional Americans</b> have always held a deep seated fear for letting Congress exercise that much political authority over their lives. Thus Americans, historically, would rather hold their noses and vote for the "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/02/lesser-of-two-evils.html" id="aptureLink_kEnMfic4M9">Lesser Of Two Evils,</a>" than to lose the power over choosing their executive leader. It is this ongoing fear - of such congressional decisions - that drives the coalescence of political power around the two major parties, in each historical era. Nothing more, nothing less.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But, What About <b>Congress</b> itself:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001QNDYY4&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>If this is all about The Presidency, then why is Congress so polarized as well? The party holding the presidency - at any given time - has several political advantages which the others do not. </span>First, there is the national publicity which necessarily comes with the job. Due to the nature of his position, <u>The President has the authority and power to set the agenda in numerous political arenas.</u> This places him and/or his party constantly in the news - for better, or worse. Meanwhile, political and financial connections - generated through the pursuit of office and perpetuated through a need to stay there - easily translate to the ongoing support of other party members; and thus, to the party as a whole.<br />
<br />
And yet, for very similar reasons, <b>The Major Party</b> "<i>Out Of Office</i>" receives a mutual and virtually equivalent benefit! The necessity of defeating a firmly entrenched Incumbent President - for whatever stated reasons - creates very <b>strange bedfellows </b>indeed. <u>People who absolutely hate one another frequently band together, when they hate someone else far more.</u> Thus, whatever outed party that appears most likely to win will garner the most money and votes - in preparation for the very next election cycle. Since money and votes are what is necessary, in order to win political elections, we have an effective <b>Two Party System</b> based solely upon the <i>Free Market Of Ideals</i>. It is merely human nature, that this is a verifiable fact.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B003XNTFEI&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Meanwhile, <b>Minority Parties</b> cannot obtain the necessary funding and/or political support to field a sufficient number of candidates and effect change - since the two major political parties have already [largely] depleted these finite political resources. Thus, they frequently must put far more time and effort into getting their party platform and official policies just right... they [generally] have very idealistic followers with beliefs, which are both: sincere and strongly held... and they stay in constant contact with the people down at the bottom. <u>These are their greatest political strengths! And yet, they lack the transitory, or shifting votes, that seek the closest political alternative, with the greatest potential chance to win.</u><br />
<br />
Consequently, <b>The Two Party System</b> is merely a practical reality in a properly functioning democracy. <u>However, the two dominant political parties are [in fact] changeable!</u> History shows that the coalescence of power leads ultimately to ignorance of and disdain for: "<i>The Common Man</i>," "<i>The Middle Class</i>," and "<i>The Average Voter</i>..." egregious miscarriages of justice inevitably occur... the people become incensed by their blatantly arrogant contempt... and too many people with hirsute finality and sudden conviction state: "<b>Enough Is Enough!</b>" <u>This ultimately brings about a correction within the system. </u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Who Are These <b>Minority Political Parties</b> Today:</span><br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0470567988&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>As America embarks upon the <b>Twenty-First Century</b>, it has several viable alternatives to the <i>Democratic</i> and <i>Republican political parties</i>. However, the strongest of these political parties isn't even [truly] organized as such! I am speaking, of course, regarding "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-are-players-in-tea-party-movement.html" id="aptureLink_q0Cb7jWkyL"><b>The Tea Party Movement</b></a>" - which has yet to coalesce into something: structured, organized, and fully cohesive. While the majority of them are still [honestly] dazed, or confused, by Republican political rhetoric - many of them have finally gotten it.... <a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/2010/06/modern-republicans-and-why-im-not-one.html" id="aptureLink_lyNeH3SpGT">The Republicans aren't really Conservatives</a>; and they don't care about The Constitution, at all! <a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/2010/07/modern-democrats-and-why-they-all-suck.html" id="aptureLink_Ry63REJDO2">Nor, are the Democrats in anywise Liberals</a> - but would rather see all of our Constitutional Freedoms and Rights once and for all totally abolished!<br />
<br />
<b>Social Empowerment </b>and <b>Individual Freedom</b> cannot mutually coexist. It is this growing knowledge, that is rapidly fueling this new movement. Consequently, <i>The Progressive Left</i> is also suffering their own political losses, as well. Why do you think, they continue to slander a movement - which is continually stated to be harming only the mainstream Republicans? Shouldn't that, be a good thing? It's all so confusing.... Really? Wake up, America! This is the <b>Truth About Our Nation</b>, and we need to look at it: clearly, honestly, and with both eyes open....<br />
<br />

More Importantly, they are far more <i>Freedom Loving</i> and <i>Factually Liberal</i>, than either mainstream political party.<br />
<br />
For the more "<b>Liberally Minded</b>" American voter, <a href="http://www.lp.org/" id="aptureLink_v5Azi0Qbf2">The <i>Libertarian Party</i></a> is just as viable a political platform - with already existent organization and structure. They are [by far] "More Liberal" than the Democrats, while retaining their more important <b>Lawfully Constitutional</b> and <b>Ideological Bearings</b>. In fact, their <i>Constitutional Moorings</i> are the formative basis upon which they have fully formed their very own idealistic beliefs! Consequently, both: the dejected <i>Conservatives</i> and the disenfranchised <i>Liberals</i> - within American - are not without their own preferential alternatives!

(BDS) What will 0bama and The Left ..." width="250px" /></a>The development of the recent social disorder known as B.D.S., or "<b>Bush Derangement Syndrome</b>," is significant in many historical ways. First, it is shared by the members of both: The Far Left and The Far Right. Second, the reason behind it seems to be coming from both opposite and oppose-able political directions. Third, the resultant level of anger and resentment became an epidemic quite rapidly nationwide. Finally, and perhaps strangest of all, it has very little to do with President George W. Bush directly. <br />
<br />
The term itself, may be factually attributed to <b>Dr. Charles Krauthammer</b> - a former psychiatrist and conservative political columnist - who defined it as being: "<span style="color: yellow;">The acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush</span>" - back in <b>2003</b>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Derangement_Syndrome#cite_note-CK2003-0"></a> Moreover, he also noted this equally shared: <i>Far Left</i> and <i>Far Right Antipathy</i> - while the American Middle continued in staunchly and stoically propping him up - at the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">Consider The Historical Facts:</span><br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0060957921&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>When <b>George W. Bush</b> ran for Presidential Office, he ran as a <i>Moderate </i>and<i> Social Conservative</i> - like many Republicans before. This was perceived as wise move, running against then <b>Vice-President Albert Gore Jr.</b> - who was a <i>Far Left Liberal</i> and <i>Extreme Environmentalist</i>. Particularly so, following the eight years of domestic successes experienced under then <b>President William Jefferson Clinton</b>'s more <i>Moderate</i> - though <i>Left Of Center</i> - rule. Although winning by a very slim margin of electoral votes didn't help, his real problems began when he ultimately took office. Neither: his more <i>Conservative Political Base</i>, nor his more <i>Leftist Political Opponents</i> [in their wildest imaginations], ever would have predicted what essentially happened next!<br />
<br />
Whereas, many <i>American Presidents</i> have shifted their political leanings upon taking the oath of office... our common history being literally filled with them... in times past, such occurrences have been merely: a very practical, and ever so slight adjustment to the center, in order to maintain a centralized base of political support. However, <b>President-Elect Bush</b> had an agenda which no one - upon either: <i>The Political Right</i>, or <i>The Left</i> - had ever yet seen. He sought to smash the power base of the <b>American Left</b> and was willing to do almost anything to achieve this agenda! Being a newly elected president - of a party which already controlled <i>Both Houses of Congress</i> - <b>George W. Bush</b> set out to take away the strength of The Democratic Party through the systematic elimination of their own historical agenda.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0199217971&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>In his first two years, he demanded funding for: <i>Governmental Housing Assistance</i> [for low income and minority families], <i>Federal AIDS Drug Funding </i>[for non-taxpaying and non-voting Africans], and <i>Prescription Drug Card Benefits</i> [for America's seniors] - among numerous other such things - all at public expense. This is strange enough behavior for a self-proclaimed "<b>Socially Conservative</b>" <i>Republican</i>... but these new expenses were huge, and they were being funded - in large part - by savings forcibly imposed upon the previous Democratic Administration; and utilizing the very same Republican Congress to do it! Not surprisingly, the "<b>More Progressive</b>" <i>Democrats</i> weren't in the least bit amused - by his self-aggrandizing political antics....<br />
<br />
To make matters worse, his "<b>New Package Of Tax Cuts</b>" was designed in such a way, as to blackmail the American public - into reelecting the then <i>Republican Majority</i> for many years to come! In essence, <b>George W. Bush</b> had become - for all practical purposes - an openly <i>Populist President</i> with a: "Rubber Stamping," and "Left Of Center" Republican Congress. <b>The American Left</b> was infuriated beyond all imagination of rational [or even coherent] situational belief! On the one hand, they had to support his honestly <i>Leftist Agenda</i> - or else, risk losing their carefully crafted political following... On the other hand, this "End Run" - around them - threatened their political relevance and possible future survival. As their frustration and anger grew out of all boundaries and proportion, a complete and utter hatred was born!<br />

And yet, there are certain forces within <b>The Democratic Party</b> - which largely fund it - that do hold such personal ideologies; and these forces must be continually cultivated and catered to - in order for them to survive politically. Thus, these more leftist Republican concessions, must be interpreted as: "<b>A Go Sign</b>," within their political circles and they are then essentially being forced into an untenable position - choosing between <i>more political funding</i>, or the more <i>mainstream political votes </i>necessary to win.<br />
<br />
This was the nefarious<b> </b>"<b>Karl Rove Strategy</b>" in a nutshell... and it worked way too damn well - against The Democratic Party, as it was continually being forced to largely redefine itself further and further to the left. From Bush's personal perspective, <b>Rove</b> was a strategic genius - unparalleled in our entire American history! After all, any prospective <i>Democratic Presidential Candidate</i> would have to run to the left of him and the American political electorate was far too "<b>Rightward Leaning</b>" to support one - doing so - all things being considered relatively equal. He [honestly] figured that the very next election would be decided by a landslide. And yet, little did he know, that just as much trouble was brewing within his own <b>Republican Party</b>.<br />
<br />

They couldn't believe what was happening; and they initially attempted to handle it all with denial. The excuses that were made for his ongoing decisions were: "<span style="color: yellow;">He is just doing it because it is inevitable</span>," or "<span style="color: yellow;">Imagine if we had elected Al Gore!</span>" <b>The Conservative Base</b> was becoming very angry.... But, what could they factually do about it?<br />
<br />
Whether consciously aware of doing it, or not, is largely: personal, subjective, and unknown... but, in either case, they decided to send President Bush and his rubber stamping friends in Congress a very stern political warning message. The <i>Republican</i> "<b>Contract With America</b>" had been broken and largely forgotten, by this new Republican Congress. But the voters remembered it quite well; and millions refused to go to the polls at the very next midterm election.<br />
<br />
For all the insulting threats of: "<span style="color: yellow;">You had better vote for us, or else</span>," - being made by <b>Members Of Congress</b> and <i>Republican Party Hacks</i>, scattered all across our land - the republican majority was doomed by its own political success and excesses. Had the American people truly wanted the more leftist Democrats running things, then they would have placed them there... and in the clearest statement possible to President George W. Bush and his Congress, they ultimately did! The "<b>Balance Of Power</b>" had once again shifted. Moreover, Bush's expected landslide re-election was ultimately decided by even fewer total votes than it was before. The "<b>Karl Rove Strategy</b>" had backfired, but the continually strategizing<i> Republicans</i> still couldn't believe it.<br />

America doesn't need two "Leftist Political Parties." To many sincere Americans, [even] one is already far too many. <b>The Truth About America</b> is that, even before such insane and idiotic tactics, were rammed down the throats of the voters, The Republican Party was already perceived as being no different from its competition - in very fundamental and significant ways. Both mainstream parties are now living embodiments to a <b>Fascist</b> and <b>Tyrannical State</b> run amok... one is [merely] more "Socialist" than the other.

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="article_abstract"><div style="text-align: left;"></div>With American Politics heating up, for the first time in a century and a half, many Americans are now revisiting the same political questions as our earlier ancestors. Among these very troubling issues are: Hard-Lined State Sovereignty, Jurisdictional Nullification, and [even] Lawful Secession. The fact, that our Federalized Republican Union is increasingly forcing these issues - by its overbearing and all encompassing political nature - is now well established... for such drastic political measures aren't easily, or lightly, being considered by anyone.<br />
<br />
After all, our last attempt at peaceably walking away from an ongoing political argument, resulted in America's most destructive war upon historical record! Like an: abusive, compulsive, and obsessive spouse - our Federal Government doesn't believe in divorce and the Supreme Court is largely afraid of her, for very good reasons. In such instances, they do not have any real enforcement mechanism at their own political disposal! Without an ability to back up their decisions, they are forced to concede whatever points are dictated upon America's inevitable battlefields. Case in point, the Supreme Court Decisions upon Tribal and State Sovereignty [respective to the actions of 1838 and 1860], which simply read:<br />
<ul><li>"<span style="color: yellow;">Had the Office of The Presidency, or Congress, not had such political authorities and powers - then it couldn't have factually done so.</span>" </li>

</tbody></table>Meanwhile, the underlying principle of settling our disputes through extreme physical violence, and later justifying it by "<b>Ex Post Facto Legal Precedent</b>," seems a rather ignorant and overly destructive methodology to most enlightened Americans. After all, we make legal allowances for all other legal forms of contractual dissolution: from marriages, to joint enterprises, and to corporations - rather than allowing the various parties involved to simply kill one another. In fact, all forms of: <i>Political</i>, <i>Economic</i>, and [even]<i> Religious</i> <i>Unions</i> are fully subject to lawful methods of necessarily uncoupling from one another! It would be a very strange thing, indeed, if our exceedingly enlightened Founding Fathers hadn't even considered such an inevitable political necessity - over the course, or fullness, of time. Wouldn't it?<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0000C52HO&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>What many in America continually fail to realize is that: "All Unions are subject to the: <b>full knowledge</b>, <b>mutual acceptance</b>, and <b>informed consent</b> of the parties contractual to it!" By its very definition, the word "Union" refers to a voluntary association among equals... and all such voluntary associations are predicated upon the ongoing and continual acceptance by all parties involved within them. Anyone can quit any union, for any cause, or even none at all.... Certainly, there shall be legal consequences of varying degrees for doing so. However, "<b>Shotgun Marriages</b>" are never legal - for several glaringly obvious and highly important reasons.<br />
<br />
In the case of <b><i>Republican Unions</i></b> - as which ours was initially so clearly designated - the Union [or federal entity] consists of numerous: separate, equal, and interdependent States [or countries]... each with its own: separate legislature, sovereign jurisdiction, enforceable laws, manageable resources, and constituent domestic population. Meanwhile, perceiving some readily apparent benefit in working largely together, they decided to form a political compact to meet certain common needs among them. However, without some arbitrary and external authority to resolutely ensure a fair playing field, they soon must invariably come to the inevitable conclusion that this New Political Union must have some factual authorities and powers delegated as its own.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0778743772&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>This parallels the actual circumstances of our nation's own birth. First, came the much looser: "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles%20of%20Confederation" id="aptureLink_6I5USuR8pI">Articles of Confederation</a>" - which had virtually no authority at all... and later, the more balanced: "Democratic-Republican Union" - which was clearly, carefully, and concisely defined with strictly limited political authorities and powers. Moreover, they clearly and carefully noted that the various Interdependent States - which were the: impetus for its initial creation, formative parties to its adoption, and signatories to the overall contractual obligations involved - were not in anywise subject to the very same constitutional restrictions and prohibitions. This is because the States are the actual parties which are signatory to the contract and the "Federal Government" is their own political creation. The States themselves were and continue to be the penultimate political authorities contractually involved.<br />
<br />
In this light, therefore, let us consider some very important political quotations of our Founding Fathers. For instance, here are just a few of them....<br />
<ul><li><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/thomasjefferson" id="aptureLink_LIA0LSmiYK">Thomas Jefferson</a>, in his First Inaugural Address, said:<b> </b>"<span style="color: yellow;">If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union, or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left to combat it.</span>"</li>
<li>Fifteen years later, after the New England Federalists attempted to secede, <b>Jefferson said</b>: "<span style="color: yellow;">If any state in the Union will declare that it prefers separation ... to a continuance in the union .... I have no hesitation in saying, 'Let us separate.'</span>"</li>
<li>At Virginia's ratification convention, <b>the delegates stated</b>: "<span style="color: yellow;">The powers granted under the Constitution being derived from the People of the United States may be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression.</span>"</li>
<li>In <b>Federalist Paper 39</b>, <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/jamesmadison" id="aptureLink_FABDbOiOTB">James Madison</a>, the father of the Constitution, cleared up what "<b>We The People</b>" meant, saying that the proposed Constitution would be subject to ratification by the people: "<span style="color: yellow;">Not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.</span>" </li>
<li><a href="http://www.iwise.com/Alexander_Hamilton" id="aptureLink_9yHAJpYTNV">Alexander Hamilton</a> wrote: "<span style="color: yellow;">The real object of those who resorted to Secession, as well as those who sustained it, was not to overthrow the Government of the United States but to perpetuate the principles upon which it was founded. The object in quitting the Union was not to destroy, but to save the principles of the Constitution."</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="article_abstract"></div><div class="article_abstract"></div><div class="article_abstract"></div><div class="article_abstract"><br />
Nor, with the imminent prospect of the Southern States actually seceding, had this commonly accepted understanding of "<b>Ultimate State Sovereignty</b>" changed in any relevant way. Let's consider some important political quotations from that actual time period....<br />
<ul><li>On the eve of the War of 1861, even unionist politicians saw secession as a right of states. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%20Michael%20Kunkel" id="aptureLink_3sYiU2Bzpv">Maryland </a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%20Michael%20Kunkel" id="aptureLink_AEtCu0tqFA">Rep. Jacob M. Kunke</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%20Michael%20Kunkel" id="aptureLink_AEtCu0tqFA">l</a> said: "<span style="color: yellow;">Any attempt to preserve the Union between the States of this Confederacy by force would be impractical, and destructive of republican liberty.</span>" </li>
<li>A <b>State Of Maryland Legislative Resolution, </b>in 1861, states:<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> </b></span>"<span style="color: yellow;">Whereas, The war against the Confederate States is unconstitutional and repugnant to civilization, and will result in a bloody and shameful overthrow of our institutions; and whilst recognizing the obligations of Maryland to the Union, we sympathize with the South in the struggle for their rights-for the sake of humanity, we are for peace and reconciliation, and solemnly protest against this war, and will take no part in it...</span>" </li>
<li>The <b>1860 Republican Platform</b> stated, among other things: "<span style="color: yellow;">That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="color: yellow;">according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of powers on</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="color: yellow;">which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="color: yellow;">the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.</span>"</li>

</span></b><br />
<ul><li><b><i>New York Tribune</i></b> (Feb. 5, 1860): "<span style="color: yellow;">If tyranny and despotism justified the Revolution of 1776, then we do not see why it would not justify the secession of Five Millions of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861.</span>" <b><i> </i></b></li>
<li><b><i>Detroit Free Press</i></b> (Feb. 19, 1861): "<span style="color: yellow;">An attempt to subjugate the seceded States, even if successful could produce nothing but evil -- evil unmitigated in character and appalling in content.</span>" </li>
<li><i><b>The </b><b>New York Times</b></i> (March 21, 1861): "<span style="color: yellow;">There is growing sentiment throughout the North in favor of letting the Gulf States go.</span>" </li>
<li>Even Horace Greeley at <b><i>The New York Tribune</i></b> wrote: "<span style="color: yellow;">We have repeatedly said, and we once more insist, that the great principle embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of American Independence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, is sound and just, and that if the Slave States, the Cotton States, or the Gulf States only choose to form an independent nation, they have a clear moral right to do so.</span>"</li>
</ul><b><br />
</b><br />

Without the necessary mechanisms in place to truly enforce such judicial decrees, nor the men and armaments to back them up, they are politically powerless to rule upon this particular matter! The real legal precedents being set are that: "All States have 'The Right Of Secession,' but the proper jurisdictional authority for any such societal claims is 'The Military Battlefield!'<br />
<br />
How can I make such statements? It's simple. The Supreme Court initially ruled in the various interdependent State's favor - concerning this <i>Firmly Established</i> and <i>State Retained Right</i> - and then, utilized "<b>Historical Precedent</b>" to rectify the remaining legal issues after the fact. Thus, enshrining forever the legal concepts of: "Military Might Makes Right," "To The Victor Belong The Spoils," and "The End Justifies The Means." This is known merely as: "<b>Ex Post Facto Legal Precedent</b>" - since the victor determines what shall later be written.<br />

She personally doesn't believe in divorce, she'd rather die than lose any argument, and she'll wantonly play the harlot, before losing her all-powerful throne. <b>The Truth About America</b> is that these are the well-established facts looming largely before us. Don't fool yourselves....<br />

</tbody></table>The "Birth-er Controversy" - surrounding <b>President Barrack H. Obama</b>'s eligibility for holding Presidential Office - is continuing to heat up, thanks to the ongoing court martial case of Lt. Colonel Terrence Lakin. When Army Col. Denise R. Lind denied Col. Lakin's defense attorney the right to obtain potentially exculpatory evidence - upon the grounds, that Obama's birth records could "Prove Embarrasing" - she not only denied a Fundamental Right under the Unified Code of Military Justice, but provided even more growing fuel for this ongoing political controversy.<br />
<br />
The real question upon everyone's mind is: "For whom would they prove to be most politically embarrassing..." <b>The White House</b> - who refuses to disclose Obama's birth records; and thus to, end the controversy once and for all... <b>The United States Military</b> - for arguably questioning the status of their Commander In Chief... our current President<b> Barrack Obama</b> - who could theorhetically be forced to step down from his current political office... or, <b>The Democratic Party</b> - for knowingly fielding an illegal candidate, to this highly-important and constitutionally protected position? In a "Worse Case Scenario," any and/or all of them could substantially suffer from the much-needed public humiliation!<br />

</tbody></table>From that perspective alone, many of us can concede <b>Col. Denise Lind</b> some measure of heightened personal sympathy. However, her official duties lie: first with upholding The Constitution, second with honoring The UCMJ, and lastly to The United States Army [itself]. All three, of which, absolutely demand the proper answer to this specifically relevant question of: "<b>Lawful Presidential Eligibility</b>!" Not even stopping to consider Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin - the incarcerated defendant - whose entire military career hangs now in the balance.... Consequently, she had better grow some "<b>George S. Patton Sized Gonads</b>," or step aside for someone else - who already largely possesses them.<br />
<br />
Personally, I had never given much weight to this slowly building political controversy, in the past. Rather, I chose to write upon other things - which I could personally verify through my own personal research, and that were far more immediately relevant to America's long term future. And yet, Obama's continual refusal to release these innocuous governmental records - to the detriment of other people's military careers and personal lives - has made even myself largely suspicious of what they may honestly document. After all, <b>Birth Certificates</b> are frequently required just to obtain: <i>Social Security Cards</i>, <i>State Drivers Licenses</i>, and <i>American Passports</i>. What's the real problem? Therefore, we must necessarily assume that something isn't honestly right....<br />

<li>"Good order and discipline requires not blind obedience to all orders but instead requires officers to judge – sometimes under great adversity – whether an order is illegal."</li>
<li>"The president of the United States, as the commander in chief, is the source of all military authority."</li>
<li>"<u>The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office</u>. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined."</li>
</ul><br />
Nor, is <b>General McInerney</b> alone among: ranking officers, west point graduates, and military scholars - upon his eloquently stated constitutional position. The heartfelt military oath: "To uphold and protect 'The United Sates Constitution' from all enemies - both: foreign and domestic" is a matter of solemn and grave importance to a very large percentage of our military's enlisted men and officers! It is the very basis of why they continue to fight in all of our ongoing and politically inspired battles. We ignore such military pledges and traditions at very great peril to our nation.<br />

</tbody></table>In the meantime, some key members of our very large judiciary are now speaking out publicly as well. One of these high profile justices is <b>Judge Roy Moore</b> - a former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court - who now leads the <a href="http://www.morallaw.org/" id="aptureLink_WxLaiizi5k">Foundation For Moral Law</a>. Judge Moore, as you may remember, was the chief justice who fought against our modern culture of political correctness - when a Ten Commandments Memorial was ordered removed by others from the <i>State Courthouse in Alabama</i>. Something which both: violated Alabama's State Sovereignty, and was seriously hypocritical considering the Supreme Court's own public displays carved into its own structure bearing walls.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to <b>Judge Roy Moore</b>:</span><br />
<ul><li>"The highest law in this country is not the order of the Supreme Court of the U.S., not the order of the commander in chief, or any subordinate officer... instead, <u>it is the Constitution</u> - which in this particular case demands that the president be a "natural born citizen," a requirement not imposed on other officers."</li>
<li>"Lt. Col. Lakin has every right to question the lawfulness of the orders of the commander in chief. He's not only the commander in chief, he dictates the whole war effort, as shown by the recent firing of [Gen. Stanley McChrystal]. It doesn't matter, that orders come from a colonel, or a general or even the Pentagon."</li>
<li>"The same thing applies in the military as in the judicial system. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, it's not the order of a higher officer, not the order of a judge."</li>
<li>"No order in the military can be issued without the authority that backs the order. The president didn't give the order, but he is the authority that backs the order. With the current protocol to simply follow orders, the U.S. will develop more incidents like that involving Lt. William Calley in Vietnam. The atrocities of My Lai were carried out under the guise of "following orders."</li>
<li>"Lakin not only has a right to follow his personal convictions under the Constitution, he has a duty... and if the authority running the efforts of the war is not a citizen in violation of the Constitution, the order is unlawful."</li>
</ul><br />
Considering the growing nature of this ongoing controversy, the hard line position being taken by The White House, and the intense discomfort of all the parties now largely involved: <b>Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin's Court Martial </b>may have far ranging effects for our nation. In either case, Lakin is an American hero for standing upon his own military principles - rather than caving in to a totally unwarranted and ill-advised political correctness! <b>The Truth About America</b> is that we can ill-afford to lose such valuable and highly principled military officers... and if the U. S. Army can't understand that, then we're all in some very serious trouble....<br />

All that guy does is write and post jokes... and his frequently bust my sides with their very good nature humor. His newest joke today was about <a href="http://bethere2day.com/five-surgeons/" id="aptureLink_LSszmC1oVr">Doctors and Politicians</a> , and I really loved it! I don't usually recommend other people's blogs, but there are always an exceptional few. This one, however, is exceptional and should be bookmarked and checked regularly for its frequent updates.<br />
<br />
Bear in mind, that <a href="http://bethere2day.com/" id="aptureLink_tgz22edKDl">bethere2day</a><b> </b>isn't in the least bit politically oriented as far as humor blogs go. But, its sharp and biting wit is always worth a regular daily reading! I try not to miss it most days, and I absolutely love searching through its extensive archives of jokes. It is also an equal party offender in all areas of political correctness. A truly monumental plus, for those of us who are sick of all the propagandistic drivel being largely passed off as supposedly non-biased humor. If you are looking for something funny to mellow out with, then I [honestly] think you'll enjoy it. As far as <b>Entrecard Sites</b> go, this one is top notch!<br />

</tbody></table>Among the most important <i>Constitutional Issues</i> - which we are now facing today - is the rapidly growing loss of our <b>Individual Right To Privacy</b>. Although many Americans no longer understand the relative importance of such sacrosanct personal freedoms and rights, our much wiser ancestors fully realized their ongoing necessity - towards establishing: a peaceful, stable, and productive society. As a predominantly Judeo-Christian people, they understood the readily-apparent social dynamics surrounding <b>The Tenth Commandment</b> given by Yahweh to <i>All Israel</i> [both: Christians, and Jews]. <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/some-claim-that-greed-is-problem-with.html" id="aptureLink_pV5HdpfUHy">Greed isn't a problem of Capitalism</a>, but rather a spiritual one.<br />
<br />
The <b>religious principle</b> of: "Thou Shalt Not Covet," is one of properly aligned personal and societal focus. Rather than looking lustfully towards our neighbors on the left, or the right - for unrighteous and illegitimate gains - societies are far more successful, when each individual focuses upon his or her own personal efforts toward long term happiness and financial success. Nothing good ever comes from spending too much time watching your neighbors! It always ends with, either: <i>Gossip</i>, <i>Envy</i>, <i>Jealousy</i>, <i>Adultery</i>, <i>Crime</i>, <i>Unjust Governmental Legislation</i>, and even <i>Murder</i>. None of which, is [in anywise] beneficial to our overall society at large. This is why we have always needed a <b>Constitutional Right To Privacy</b>.<br />

</tbody></table><a name='more'></a>Had this <b>God-Given Right</b> been better protected - over the intervening 234 years - our nation would be: in much better financial condition, suffering from much less crime, and far more capable of competing in the current international marketplace! Nor, would we be now living in a <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-precisely-is-social-fascism.html" id="aptureLink_AaHp7yvhdU">Social-Fascist Society</a> - where the average American citizen must live in continual political fear of his, or her, increasingly opinionated neighbors... one in which, the stroke of a pen - wielded in covetous anger - can reduce [even] an arrogant Billionaire, to a mere hopeless Pauper overnight. <br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, the majority us aren't actually Billionaires; and the ones that are, have already purchased this immoral system outright - through carefully cultivated and selectively administered political donations. The point is that society does not truly benefit under such an system. Whether the "Extremely Rich," or the "Dysfunctional Poor," control this process is largely irrelevant to anyone. Whoever controls such a warped political process gains a decidedly unfair, unjust, and illegitimate advantage over their own societal brothers and sisters. Governmental legitimized thievery is thereby inevitable! The fact that, the power of law now allows for these ongoing criminal actions, makes it all the onerous - for everyone.<br />

We all have enough personal problems of our own, why are we being so amazingly thoughtful towards our neighbors? It sure isn't, because we have their "Best Interests" at heart! Let's be honest with ourselves. This is the <b>American Truth</b> largely needed for our day...<br />
<br />
The scripture states:<br />
<ul><li>"<span style="color: yellow;">Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your pleasures.</span>" <b>- James 4:1-3</b>.</li>
</ul><br />

How can you spell it out any clearer than that? <b>The Truth About America</b> is that we are fast approaching: a complete financial meltdown, a hyper-inflated national currency, massive systemic unemployment, <a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/03/federal-response-may-be-coming-soon.html" id="aptureLink_uDaP0soXSS">an attempt at federal martial law</a>, and an inescapable civil war! All because of the overly oppressive nature of individual covetousness - being practiced upon a wholesale societal level. As a nation, we are in great need of long past due repentance. Otherwise, everything will become, just another case of historical "<i>Cause And Effect</i>" and the consequences will be devastating for everyone.<br />
<br />
In these modern times, we have largely forgotten, "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/02/importance-of-religious-perspective.html" id="aptureLink_nMIUvppFch">The Importance Of Religious Perspective</a>..." and, in so doing, we have lost the most important aspect of our traditional and cultural heritage! The <i>Right To Individual Control</i> - over our own personal property - is absolutely predicated upon the right to privacy. It [honestly] benefits each of us alike - while promoting a strong social cohesion, necessary to our mutual and common successes. Real Americans inherently understand this principle. Our nation grew rich because of it, and impoverished through failing to continually observe it!

It appears that our expensively educated "Government Of The Lawyers, By The Lawyers, And For The Lawyers" understands neither its: Letter, Spirit, nor Intent - when it comes to expressly Constitutional Issues! Meanwhile - in their latest leap of moral, ethical, and legal depravity - they have decided that: <i>Intentionally Trespassing</i>, <i>Planting Transmission Devices Upon Your Personal Property</i>, and <i>Secretly Tracking Your Movements</i> are perfectly acceptable societal behaviors.<br />
<br />
More importantly, however, a certain number of Federal Justices clearly agree with them! Although the initial ruling was made - back in January - by a mere three judge panel of the highly "Leftist" <b>Ninth Circuit</b>, a much larger panel has since staunchly upheld it. The logic upon which they have done so is that the outside of one's residence is open to: neighborhood children, delivery personnel, and occasional visitors - therefore cannot be considered truly private property [with legal respect] toward the uninformed owner... logically, they state: "had they truly intended this property to remain private, then they would have established a fence or even locked their property securely inside the house or garage." The fact that this argument is based upon pure conjecture and patently false assumptions didn't seem to bother them in the least.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000YT3X2Y&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>For instance, most of us - acting under "<b>The Good Neighbor Policy</b>" - would allow our own neighbors to trespass in order to recover their own personal property... for instance a: Lost Frisbee, Runaway Pet, or Errant Football. We would not allow them to: Loiter Around In It, Peep In Our Windows, Steal, Vandalize, Mess With, or Otherwise Alter Our Personal Property... nor, would "<b>A Good Intentioned Neighbor</b>" even think to [factually] do so! For most of us, it is our reasonable expectation of our own neighbor's purer intentions, that precludes "A More Absolutist Position" with respect to our totally exclusive property rights. In the absence of this reasonable expectation, we must invariably remain alienated from our own next door neighbors.<br />
<br />
Nor, can the absence of a fence - around our own property - be viewed as an indication of any desire toward "ill-intentioned breaches" of our personal property, or individual privacy. Rather, it merely stands as what it is, either: a reasonable expectation of societal respect for our own personal boundaries, or even a lack of financial resources to acquire the necessary building materials. But not an invite toward individual and personal maliciousness. Such blatantly disrespectful assumptions - on the part of our government - are totally unjustified in large measure. Can we then assume that any unlocked door is an invitation to enter other people's domiciles? Or, that keys left in a car or motorcycle are the owners express permission to borrow it? Or even, that we may now equally alter police equipment - such as squad cars parked at the station - without criminal prosecution? Most of them aren't [honestly] surrounded by fences, now are they?<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1596985054&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>If someone's intentions aren't of a positive societal nature, how many of us would willfully desire them anywhere near: ourselves, our homes, or our property? Such assumptions cannot logically be made. Whether someone is attaching a: listening device, video camera, tracking device, incendiary device, or [even] bomb to my car - I damn well want to know it; and the assumption that, most other people wouldn't is undoubtedly preposterous! I [personally] don't give one damn hoot, what you think you know about someone... we are "<b>A Nation Of Constitutional Laws</b>" and you better not forget it. Our ancestors believed, that: "What is good for the goose is good for the gander." When you can mess with my property under such blatantly illegal laws, I can [and will] do the very same to yours! <br />
<br />
What is so damn hard about lawfully going to a judge and asking his permission for: searches, seizures, wiretaps, and even tracking devices? Does it make your job unbearably: difficult, time consuming, and/or overly monotonous? Have you ever stopped to consider how much more so these intrusions are upon the innocent individuals - who are attempting to go about their daily lives - with all of your [literally] "<b>Unwarranted</b>" and [frequently] unfounded <b>Intrusions</b>? Who are the parties being victimized, here... the Policemen and Policewomen running off half-cocked into battle... or, the individuals and families who are being: wrongly inconvenienced, frequently impugned in the eyes of their neighbors, often suffering property damage, and always losing their right to personal privacy?<br />
<br />
The reason that we have these constitutionally established rules of "<b>Due Process</b>" is to ensure that innocent individuals aren't being constantly bothered or harassed for: frivolous reasons, political purposes, or unfounded allegations. They apply to all instances of personal intrusion, or disruption, and every conceivable [or potential] criminal allegation. The Constitution doesn't accord any exceptions at all [allegations of drug related activity, sex crimes, and ongoing child abuse included]. Nor, should there be any exceptions - dependent upon the purportedly alleged crime either! But that, is an entirely different issue. Perhaps, I'll cover it later....frank barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028338067353019974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871827860061767657.post-22155155993887362772010-08-21T17:14:00.001-04:002010-08-21T17:17:45.986-04:00American Education: Merely One Piece, In A Much Larger Tragedy.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Apparently, our American educators are either incapable, or unwilling to do their jobs - when it comes to the subjects of: <i>English</i>, <i>History</i>, and <i>Social Studies</i> - because there seems to be a great deal of confusion surrounding the various definitions of certain words in our English language today. As is the case with blatantly opposable concepts such as: <b>Socialism</b> and <b>Charity</b>, <b>Corporatism</b> and <b>Capitalism</b>, <b>Social Empowerment</b> and <b>Individual Freedom</b>, and a whole veritable host of numerous others.<br />
<br />
While some of us might chalk these developments up to random institutional failures occurring throughout our educational spectrum, I cannot and will not so easily do so. Why not? Because a careful analysis of the terms and terminology being currently: misunderstood, misused, and misapplied are indicative of a specific <b>"Anti-American" Political Worldview</b>, <b>Perspective</b>, and <b>Agenda</b>. In point of fact, these ongoing political results are anything but statistically random... they have been personally tailored to fit a highly specific program of national changes in our <i>Traditional American Culture</i> and <i>Inherent Societal Fabric</i>! <br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Moreover, having read a number of my children's textbooks, after having also studied over my own during a decade of public schooling, I have noted certain significant and specific alterations, which undoubtedly support these ongoing social, cultural, and linguistic aberrations. In short, our educational system is intentionally being politically subverted from within! I can [honestly] perceive no other obvious possibility. The fact that our ancestors warned us about this ultimate eventuality - prior to our adoption of systemic federal involvement - is well documented and firmly established... and the fact that our educational system has produced an increasingly defective product - every single year since it has [factually] come to pass - is also very revealing.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0743254082&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Even though such sources of physical evidence are of a purely circumstantial nature, of themselves, the tremendous and increasingly ongoing amount of it is astounding. During this very same time period, numerous individual citizens have actually received "The Death Penalty" upon far less accumulated circumstantial evidence. And yet, most older Americans seem quite content to continually allow this form of political subterfuge to continue in America's now heavily propagandized classrooms. Moreover, the mainstream media [strangely] has no apparent interest whatsoever in openly reporting upon it.<br />
<br />
Why, this apparent <b>Generational Political Disconnect</b>? Because our massive and elderly population would prefer to escape the rapidly approaching political maelstrom, rather than speak up and potentially set it off in their own lifetime. In other words, the ones who created all of these intractable: and ongoing: social, economic, and political problems wants to avoid the extremely turbulent consequences of their very own ill-advised actions. Although it is true, that the majority of them didn't actively work to bring it about, it is equally true that they: shirked their political responsibilities, largely ignored their own leadership, and didn't make any efforts of protest towards stopping it! Thus, they are factually complicit in these ongoing systemic failures and continue to remain so - to this very day.<br />
<br />

We are [now] old and tired... it would take an entire generation to turn it around... and most of us won't even be here - by that point - off into the far distant future." This is [quite honestly] an extremely valid point, for those of you - in your now doting generation - to state. Although you have already expended the majority of your vast reserves of physical energy: partying hardy, living large, and necessarily ignoring every ongoing societal, economic, and political obligation - you do still have some energy left; and I would like to point out some other fine points for you also to [factually] consider.<br />
<br />
For instance, consider just these three:<br />
<ul><li>Your "Baby Boom" Generation is the only generation with enough political votes to effect the necessary polar shift in America's currently self-destructive direction.</li>
<li>Your parents taught you The Simple Truths, that: "If you break it, then you are obligated to fix it," "You must return stuff in the same condition that you got it," "When you break it, you've bought it," and "Our Perpetual Constitutional Union is an ongoing covenant for all of our posterity." </li>
<li>If America must await another generation to alter its ongoing political course, your own children and grandchildren will be those to suffer imminent societal destruction. Have you no consideration for them, at all? If, "<span style="color: yellow;">Even evil men display great love toward their own children</span>," how then shall God in heaven adjudge your own particular cases? </li>

Surely it was written, and addressed directly to you, when the prophet Malachi was inspired to write:<br />
<ul><li>"For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly shall be stubble, And the day which is coming shall burn them up, Says the Lord of hosts, That will leave them neither root, nor branch. But to you who fear My name, The sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this, says the Lord of hosts. <span style="color: yellow;">Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel [both Christians and Jews], with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the Earth with a curse.</span>" <b>- Malachi chapter 4.</b></li>

</tbody></table>What I find so particularly interesting, about this specific "End Time" prophecy, is the blatantly obvious implication<b> </b>within its scriptural context, that those who have wrought this enmity - between themselves and their own biological children - will honestly live to experience "The Curse," which they have brought down solely upon their own selves! Could our expansive worldwide increase in physical longevity have an external and metaphysical origin... to ensure that, the most guilty of all, do not go largely unpunished? Could be.... Or, could it even mean that the imminent societal destruction - which they have so ignorantly aided and abetted - is far closer to its final fruition, than so many of them [very honestly] expect? This is another very real possibility....<br />
<br />
In either case, it might be wise for us to heed the advise of God's prophets and address the ongoing societal, economic, and political dilemmas - which now substantially divide our cross generational fabric. Perhaps, some good old fashioned "Common Sense" will help to sway you?<br />
<br />
Consider the following well-recognized facts:<br />
<ul><li>Those stone and brick walls surrounding America's affluent retiring communities, seem rather small and insignificant - from the standpoint of providing any true physical barriers.</li>
<li>Their millions of square miles are wholly undefended and easily scalable.</li>
<li>The roving patrols, and guards at those gatehouses, are still working for a little over minimum wage; and certainly far too little to die for.</li>
<li>They are vastly outnumbered, by your own increasingly angry American children.</li>
<li>And our now bankrupted nation will soon be incapable of lending you such expensive political assistance.</li>
</ul><br />

I can imagine no other scenario, of greater horrendous effect! Can you? America had better wake up to its own self-inflicted realities soon, or its potential future will be deeply disturbing to many of us.<br />
<br />
Bear in mind, that this isn't a threat - on my part. Personally, It doesn't matter to me, which path you'll effectually choose... for I have a God - who continues to provide all of my: physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Nor, have I so blatantly alienated myself from Him - or even my own children. This is just a thought, from <b>The Real American</b> - for those, who have an ear to honestly and wisely listen. It is time for us to make amends! I've done, all that an honest messenger can do. The rest is largely up to you... do whatever you think best.

</tbody></table>According to recent polls being conducted in America, 56 percent of the American population firmly believes that: we are [now] factually living in "<b>The Biblical Last Days</b>." Even more startlingly, according to one recent poll, 35 percent of Conservatives and 21 percent of Liberals living in the State of New Jersey believed President Barrack Hussein Obama to be the Biblical Antichrist that the world has so long awaited - before, the "<i>End Time Period</i>." Could Barrack Obama [honestly] be "<b>The Antichrist</b>?" Or, is he [just] the first openly Anti-Christian President in our American history?<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note, that when it comes to the practice of Judeo-Christian religion, America is the most lukewarm nation upon Earth. While some 76 percent of Americans openly profess to be believers, the majority of Americans today do not even meet the minimalist "Pharisaical Standards" railed against by Christ - more than two thousand years ago. How is it that we forgotten these simple words: "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven?"<br />
<br />
<br />

If three out of four Americans were following Christ's clear cut and purpose driven life examples, America would be the very same nation it still boastfully and pridefully claims to be. Why would we need: governmental programs to assist with the needy, a minimum wage to provide minimal compensation, or a veritable "police state" to handle our exploding rates of violent crime? America is no longer predominantly "Christian" and our national characteristics [or fruits] display it shamefully - for the entire world to now see.<br />
<br />
So, when so few Americans are factually Christian, why are so many of them convinced that we are obviously living in "<b>The Last Days</b>?" Because the evidence is already so strong to support it, that even a majority of the wicked can naturally see it - with very little: spiritual training, understanding, or knowledge. After all, many of them know a little - about God and His scriptures - even, if they haven't known Him personally or invested the necessary energy to study His word... and the signs of His Son's imminent coming are quite flagrant. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></b><br />

Moreover, their self-serving spiritual shepherds are even more corrupt than they are. After all, religion has now become big business and "<b>The Gospel Of Greed</b>" is its vaunted economic engine.<br />
<br />
So, what of these majority perceived religious opinions? They are a mishmash mixture of: misunderstandings, lies, and half truths - which both ebb and flow with the tides of spiritual confusion... occasionally striking a note of truth, but [more often than not] merely roiling the seas of naturally minded public opinion! Consequently, they just drown out "The Truth" - with all of the background noise they continually generate - to the ongoing detriment of millions who could have been saved otherwise. This is the greatest tragedy of all!<br />
<br />
According to those oft neglected scriptures:<br />
<ul><li>The Anti-Christ is both a religious and political leader.</li>
<li>He controls the world's most powerful "False Christian Church."</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JpLt3BfE5A" id="aptureLink_KpjuTMAX8r">The number of his name is 666</a>. </li>
<li>The church would historically murder and persecute "The True Christians."</li>
<li>It would be based in the city of "Seven Hills."</li>
<li>It would conspire with "The Kings Of The Earth" and "The Merchants" to obtain her political power.</li>
<li>It would have seven physical daughters born from its own spiritual body.</li>
<li>It would also have other religious systems created by it and under its direct spiritual control.</li>
<li>It would possess a spiritual mark, which contradicts God's Eternal Laws.</li>
<li>It would control three constituent: Socio-Economic, Political, and Spiritual parts: "Mystery [Masonic/Occult/Corporations]," "Babylon The Great [Royal Bloodlines/Illuminati]," and "The Mother Of Harlots [Universal Religion/Other Spiritual Abominations]."</li>

Obama</b> fit any of these very detailed descriptions? No, he doesn't! Then, ask yourself: "Who does?" The answer, of course, is the Roman Catholic Pontiff/Pope - whose official title, "Vicarius Fili Dei" holds the alphanumerical value of 666, within its formative and preordained letters. Barrack Obama isn't a Roman Catholic Pope, now is he?<br />
<br />
<b>President Barrack Obama</b>'s name, which [some have noted] means: "Lightening Fallen From Heaven" doesn't meet the given biblical criteria for the "Last Days" Anti-Christ Ruler. However, it does have historical and spiritually significant ramifications in other equally profound ways. Perhaps, you should search out the scriptural significance of <a href="http://yahhudiim.blogspot.com/2010/05/false-prophet-america-in-prophecy.html" id="aptureLink_eg5MVxT5pc">America As Referenced In Prophecy</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">*** </span>Note: The answer to that question may have actually surprised, or even upset, you... however, that wasn't my purpose in writing it. Many sincere believers have been caught up in her various spiritual deceptions - through no relevant fault of their own - merely because the spiritual walk with our Father/Creator Yahweh is a path of spiritual growth from relative ignorance unto "The Fullness And Stature Of Christ." Plus, the deceptions continually being perpetrated are often incredibly clever to our more naturally minded and more selfish inner human child.<br />

</tbody></table>The <b>Truth Behind American Taxation</b> is <i>Mass Economic Enslavement</i> - being perpetrated upon a scale, far greater than any other of the previous attempts at imposing such a servile system in American history. Neither: the southern <i>Plantation System</i>, nor <i>The Company/Stores</i> of the north - could have so thoroughly enslaved the individual American; or been historically maintained in a time of rapid educational and technological advancement. Thus, a three track system had to be extensively devised.<br />
<br />
This <b>Three Track Political And Economic System</b>, consists of the: <i>Freemason Corporate Conglomeration</i>, <i>Public Social Empowerment</i>, and <i>Expansive Governmental Hegemony</i>. Meanwhile, each of these three collectivist political and economic structures - of <b>Masonic</b> and <b>Trinitarian </b>design - is charged with focusing and channeling specific and naturally occurring political forces, which are fundamental to every human society in general. Its inherent advantages - with respect toward <i>Totalitarian and Authoritarian Control</i> - were not lost on those privileged individuals who had honestly envisioned it.<br />

They fully understood, that by making more careful, highly calculated, and subtle alterations they could effectively lead the public into their own factual societal slavery - without the necessity of resorting to force in the earlier and more dangerous political stages of transition.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the importance of doing so - in nations with a long and strong history of: <b>Lawful Equality</b>, <b>Individual Rights</b>, and <b>Cultural Freedom</b> - was of supreme magnitude... and such was the case, with: <i>England</i>, <i>The United States</i>, and numerous other <i>Commonwealth Nations</i>. This was, particularly, true of us surly Americans... for the mistake of moving too quickly - in our nation - would have set them back from their "<b>One World Government</b>" goals considerably! As everyone knows, Americans are amazingly tenacious once riled to considerable anger. Our military prowess, in several massive convulsions, has not gone largely unnoticed.<br />
<br />

Moreover, it was devised and promulgated by their Masonic, Elitist, and Keynesian benefactors for precisely this one reason. Its advantages, in comparison to its <i>Capitalist</i> and privately owned economic predecessors: <b>The Sole Proprietorship</b> and <b>Joint Company Partnership</b>, were numerous - for the accomplishment of their ultimate political agenda. For instance, consider the following aspects built into the Modern Corporate Structure.<br />
<br />
<br />
These Advantages Are:<br />
<ul><li> Since <b>Corporations</b> are chartered as living entities by the States, their lawful existence and ties of proprietorial ownership are viewed as entirely separate legal jurisdictions. Their collectivized stockholders [or ownership classes] are exempt from all legal liability toward its day to day corporate actions.</li>
<li>The <b>Corporate Board Of Directors</b> is largely insulated and shielded from both: The Executive Actions Of Its Managerial Underlings, and Any Short-Term Obligations Toward Its Collectivized Owners.</li>
<li>And <b>The Executive Management</b> is free to operate without extensive interference into its daily actions - while accomplishing its two charter mandated goals: that of accomplishing the boards clearly directed dirty work, and attempting to justify itself through achieving a year end profit. The last goal is not always easy to accomplish, but is [also] decidedly secondary to this process.</li>
</ul><br />
Of course, these are just the most basic of their <b>Modern Corporate Advantages</b>. There have been far more built into this system politically, since its early inception. Moreover, they are of an increasingly beneficial nature to their <i>Masonic and Corporate Engineers</i> - as their well paid elected representatives add more legislation for their benefit progressively.<br />
<br />
For Instance:<br />
<ul><li>Since <b>Corporations</b> cannot die, they are exempt from all forms of Individual Inheritance, or Death Taxation. Thus, they obtain a remarkably helpful growth advantage over their non-incorporated competitors.</li>
<li><b>Corporations</b> - being a net aggregator of economic and productive resources - can [normally] pass on all forms of taxation onto their end customers the consumer, merely by adjusting their prices. This is why corporate profit margins have remained an economic constant after almost a century of ever increasing taxation.</li>
<li> <b>Corporations</b> - being considered living entities, rather than [merely] proprietorial enterprises - are entitled to all the Rights of other Individual Citizens. Consequently, their much deeper pockets can be utilized to purchase massive political support for their own personal actions - even [from time to time] over the open protests of their own collectivized ownerships.</li>
</ul><br />
When considering all of these obvious advantages, it is easy to see why so many privately held companies can no longer seem to successfully compete in our <i>International Economic Marketplace</i>. This is [factually] a preplanned obsolescence, by largely collusive political design. Both of our <b><a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/2010/07/modern-democrats-and-why-they-all-suck.html" id="aptureLink_mHkhqUmF3g">Democratic</a></b> and <b><a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/2010/06/modern-republicans-and-why-im-not-one.html" id="aptureLink_dVHHYqH4dr">Republican</a></b> Leaderships are fully aware of these facts, and have benefited greatly from its fully intentional systematic implementation. After all, they were the <b>Political Parties</b> that extensively engineered it - over this carefully manipulated and cultured political period.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002T450BO&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>The second of these three foundational pillars - of <i>Political and Economic Fascism</i> - is<b> Social Empowerment</b>. By appealing to the public's natural sense of greed and by building their foundational structures upon our inherent desires for: peace, stability, and prosperity - they were able to: divide us politically, create ever-increasing levels of societal stratification, and manipulate us into adopting increasing complex levels of indirect societal enslavement - as individual property owners and taxpayers.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Advantages Of These Political Successes Are:<br />
<ul><li>Resources may be covertly channeled away from The Middle Class: workers, taxpayers, and voters - through a plethora of societal programs - under the auspices of exstensively "Soaking The Rich."</li>
<li>Decreasing Wages, Benefits, and Pay Scales - due to Corporate greed - may be subsidized at public expense through socialized programs and passed on to The Middle Class Taxpayer.</li>
<li>Taxation upon individual and personal property can force far more Americans to retain their positions in the workplace and thus generate more taxes overall - in the course of their productive lifetimes.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, each generation of The Middle Class will grow weaker and weaker through Inheritance Taxation... and thus, become decreasingly of a threat toward the elitist and established Upper Class in America.</li>
</ul><br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1416592377&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>The third of these three foundational pillars - of <i>Political and Economic Fascism</i> - is <b>Expansive Governmental Hegemony</b>... which, contrary to numerously social deceptive political policies, isn't the enemy of our Modern Corporations - that so many of us [falsely] perceive. Although it is highly detrimental to those rising Independent Entrepeneurs - among America's upwardly mobile Middle Class - it is honestly designed to benefit the Masonic Corporations and provide them a Systemic Wall Of Protection, from their up and coming new competitors. These massive Corporations are not "<a href="http://fbarbour.blogspot.com/2010/05/too-big-to-fail-governmental-and.html" id="aptureLink_zRroaMRVd3">Too Big To Fail</a>" by mere political accident.<br />
<br />
Consider The Following Political Facts:<br />
<ul><li> The <b>Sherman Anti-Trust Act</b> has existed since shortly after <i>The American Civil War</i>... and yet, it has seldom been ever utilized - unless to punish certain parties who have stepped politically out of line with respect to either: <i>The Masonic Political Agenda</i>, or when the American Public was thoroughly aroused against them personally.</li>
<li>Throughout our entire political history, <b>The Masonic Corporations</b> have been largely ignored by their supposedly vicious federal regulators - until a major disaster ultimately occurs. These are just a few recent of the very examples: Enron, Worldcom, Arthur Anderson, Bernie Madoff, Freddie Mac, Fannie May, Bank of America, Lehman Brothers, Indymac, AIG, and British Petroleum.</li>
<li>And, in an age when <b>Modern Corporations</b> are supposedly "<i>Too Big To Fail</i>," our government continually authorizes their further acquisitions and mergers. This should honestly explain it all!</li>
</ul><br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002GLSAOY&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Meanwhile, the interconnectedness and immensely symbiotic dynamics of these three foundational structures is the formative genesis of the much ballyhooed "<b>New World Order</b>" - spoken of so glowingly by our increasingly happy and overly excited political leadership. For they know precisely what it is that they are doing! As <b>FDR</b> stated: "Absolutely nothing in government or politics happens by accident." The entire treatise of <b>John Maynard Keynes</b>, and the scads of political and financial formulations behind <i>Keynesian Economics</i>, was to artificially construct this <b>One World Order</b> - through the overall destruction of our historic and far more economically efficient systems of True Capitalism and Individual Freedom.<br />
<br />
The <b>Truth Behind American Taxation</b> is <i>Economic Enslavement For The Masses</i> - while increasingly strengthening Elitist: Economic, Societal, and Political Control - in the prelude to <b>A Worldwide Totalitarian Dictatorship</b>, called [euphemistically]: "The New World Order." <i>The Truth About America</i> is merely this - when properly examined - by following all of that constantly moving money. Anyone who begs to differ upon these political particulars, is either: lying to protect their own particular interests, terrified of the public finding out too soon, or far too uninformed to comprehend what is factually going on around us. So thinks, <b>The Real American</b>.<br />

</tbody></table>The differences between <b>Traditional Capitalism</b> and <i>Modern Corporatism</i> may seem slight to the average ignorant American, but they are profoundly significant in every meaningful way! <b>Capitalism</b> is the process of <b>Individual Freedom</b>, acting within the lawful constraints of <b>The Free Market</b>, and dealing out punishment and/or reward based upon <b>Personal Initiative</b>. Whereas <i>Corporatism</i> is the process of <i>Collectivized And Governmentally Chartered Business</i>, acting without lawful consequence [or subjective liability] to <i>Socially Manipulated Markets</i>, and dealing out punishment and/or reward based upon purely <i>Political Criteria</i>. <br />
<br />
Businesses cannot grow "Too Big To Fail" under <b>Capitalism</b> - where the size of every private company is quite naturally regulated by a man's [or certain group's] ability to raise his/her/their own necessary capitalization... where the <b>Finite Lives</b> of a company's private owners, are largely disruptive toward policies of negative social monopolization... and where the very real measures of legally quantifiable <b>Criminal And Civil Liability</b>, reinforce one's moral and ethical obligations toward overall society in general! This is the greatest verifiable strength of <b>Traditional American Capitalism</b>.<br />

They may gather all their necessary capital from largely <i>Absentee And Collectivist Owners</i>... their <i>Infinite Lifespans</i> virtually assure an increasingly monopolist position... and their lack of any <i>Social Liability</i> stiffens their natural resolve toward inherently psychotic and psychopathic behavior - with respect to any other humanitarian concern! This is the greatest verifiable weakness of <i>Modern American Corporatism</i>.<br />
<br />
Moreover, <i>Corporatism</i> is the "Economic Engine Of Fascism." It cannot [factually] exist without <i>Direct Governmental Interference</i> - in officiating at its birth and thereby granting its newly obtained political charter... its inherently psychotic and monopolistic nature absolutely requires <i>Direct Governmental Involvement</i> - in what were once <b>Laissez Faire Free Markets</b>... and the centralization of such great wealth and/or economical power, inevitably exerts a further corrupting influence over every other aspect of a given society in general.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1596985879&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>When "<b>Real Americans</b>" are discussing the relative values inherent in <b>Traditional American Capitalism</b>, they are not talking of lifting the necessary and useful constraints governing <i>The Modern American Corporation</i>. In fact, our nation would benefit greatly by immediately breaking them up, once and for all, and ending the unwarranted practice of ever allowing such charters to operate within the boundaries of our currently massive <i>Federalized Union</i>. Rather, we are talking about returning to the <b>Political Sanity</b> and <b>Inerrant Principles</b> - which generated more <b>Industrialized Wealth</b>, than the rest of our planet combined!<br />
<br />
In only 100 years, <b>America</b> did what they rest of our planet took thousands of years to accomplish... and we started essentially from nothing. How were we able to do this? We did it with: <b>Hard Work</b>, <b>Ingenuity</b>, <b>Freedom</b>, <b>Brotherhood</b>, and <b>Equality</b> - under the law. We were first and foremost a nation of impoverished immigrants, holding on to nothing more than a dream. We set our eyes upon a glorious future... our hands to the tasks largely before us... our hearts upon the promises of a loving creator... and we never wasted our time in foolishly looking backward!<br />
<br />
And yet, if <b>America</b> is going to have a sort of future at all, the time for looking backward is most certainly now here. For having turned <i>Substantially Leftward</i> over the last several generations, we have progressively painted ourselves into a very real corner. Our only hope as a: society, nation, and people is to return to the <b>Underlying Principles</b>, which preordained our factual greatness! It will undoubtedly work again, if we will put forward the necessary effort to do so. But, if we continue on upon our current political course, America will reap the consequential rewards more properly due us... and that, my friends, is a payment for which very few Americans are [quite honestly] prepared to cash it!<br />

</tbody></table>Welcome, my friends, to "<b>Upside-Down America</b>..." where, in all reality, the unreality of inverse reality has become our official reality! It is a land of infinitely expected surprises and totally unbounded surprised expectations; a nation, which has been: <i>Enslaved</i> by its own exercised freedom, <i>Overtaxed</i> by its own personal choices, <i>Subjected</i> to its own public servants, and <i>Terrorized</i> by its own lawful protectors. Nor, can it honestly and openly confront <b>The Truth</b> behind its own effective societal creation... that, "<b>We The People</b>" have been fully complicit, in its overall political development.<br />
<br />
<b>Upside-Down America</b> represents the single greatest: Magic Trick, Sleight Of Hand, and/or Deceptive Illusion ever perpetrated upon any particular audience in history. In a nation of <b>300 Million Fools</b>, virtually every <i>Traditional American Institution</i><b> </b>currently possesses its own identical and yet mocking parody of blatant illusion. For instance, in our<b> </b>currently<b> Upside-Down America</b>, or our<b> Inverted American Reality</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul><li> We still have two mainstream and opposing political parties: <b>The "Anarchist" Republicans</b> [who proclaim themselves to be <i>Inherently Conservative</i>] and <b>The "Socially Enslaving" Democrats</b> [who call themselves <i>Traditionally Liberal</i>].</li>
<li>We still practice organized religion - albeit, <b>The Gospel Of Greed</b> has long ago supplanted <i>The True Gospel of Christ,</i> as honestly related in the scriptures. <br />
</li>
<li>We retain "<b>The Freedom Of Individual Choice</b>," from among any number of socially predefined and governmentally approved choices - in every single aspect of our well-regulated apolitical lives.</li>
<li>And we are still "<b>A Nation Of Laws.</b>" Even though, the laws themselves are [by now] completely unconstitutional and/or highly unlawful as adjudged by: their letter, their spirit, and/or original intention.</li>
</ul><br />

We have found out - like foolishly hungered Esau - that the soup, being so deceptively provided, wasn't even [really] that good! Meanwhile, the question on everyone's minds is now what to do about it... and again - like foolish Esau - we are finding that our options are [in fact] quite few. Ah, the bitterness of wandering along, lost, in our complete and utter ignorance....<br />
<br />
And yet, what did we honestly expect - when we first started down the path toward cultural and societal wickedness? <b>Our Enlightened Ancestors</b> continually reminded us, that: "There is no such thing as a <i>Truly Free Lunch</i>." They continually exhorted us to be: <i>Disenchanted</i> by popular democracy, <i>Disdainful</i> of social divisiveness, and <i>Distrustful</i> of governmental solutions... and they largely expounded upon the <b>Beneficient Principles</b> Of: Capitalism, Freedom, Individuality, Equality, Brotherhood, and Love. And yet, in our lewdness, we have ignored every solitary principle upon which this nation was so firmly founded!<br />
<br />

Are we now so much better off, politically and socially, for having so fully embraced: <b>Corporatism</b> over <i>Capitalism</i>, <b>Social Empowerment</b> over <i>Freedom</i>, <b>Political Correctness</b> over <i>Individuality</i>, <b>Activism</b> over <i>Equality</i>, <b>Multiculturalism</b> over <i>Brotherhood</i>, and <b> Governmental Appeasement</b> over <i>Love</i>? Let us openly consider and thoughtfully evaluate these "Cause and Effect" societal factors quite honestly. When we factually do so, the glaringly obvious results boil down to these readily observed and easily understood Truths.... Do they not?<br />
<br />
<ul><li><b>Our Corporations</b> have abused, manipulated, extorted, robbed, and/or simply abandoned us to our own personal economic injury. </li>
<li>Our desire for <b>Social Empowerment</b> has forged the chains of situational bondage, which now so exasperatingly bind us. </li>
<li><b>Political Correctness</b> is now thoroughly codified into our laws and defining us as "Domestic Terrorists" - for openly speaking our own minds.</li>
<li> <b>Our Activism</b> empowers the most glaringly wicked among us, while persecuting those who would defend America's True Founding Principles.</li>
<li>Unchecked <b>Multiculturalism</b> has brought about the angered cohabitation of total strangers - in a land once dedicated, to the very principled promotion of social and world peace.</li>
<li>And the policy of <b>Governmental Appeasement</b> has led us to the brink of utter societal collapse and substantial economic ruin. </li>
</ul><br />

What more do we [honestly] need to learn? The only continuing lessons, that we may now ultimately obtain, are in respect to: "<b>The Total Depth Of Human Depravity</b>, such a great nation may be effectively brought to before its total and inevitable destruction." Do we really need to go there, before taking systemically corrective action? Must we wait until every last vestige of our <i>Traditional American Society</i> crumbles, before standing upon our rooftops and shouting: "<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7660721490224754173" id="aptureLink_8eAH2UOLLo">We're Mad As Hell And We're Not Going To Take It Anymore...</a>?"<br />
<br />
<b>Upside-Down America</b> represents everything that <i>Our Founding Fathers</i> factually stood against! It is a mockery of: <i>Freedom</i>, <i>Brotherhood</i>, and <i>Equality</i>... it is an objectionable parody of the <i>Idealistic Principles</i> which firmly established it... it is an egregious affront to the ongoing sensibilities of all humankind... and it is an utter abomination before Yahweh [God]. Contrary to <b>Reverend Jeremiah Wright's</b> seemingly recent prophetic announcement, God need not [even] bother: "Damning America..." for we have already [quite effectively] done it to our own selves. We have scattered our seeds to <i>The Wind</i>, and we shall soon reap <b>The Whirlwind</b> of our own tragic creation.<br />

No sir, a multitude of our brothers and sisters openly: aided, abetted, and assisted them - while condemning those of us who so boldly attempted to speak up.

</tbody></table>As far back as I can remember, over the course of my lifetime, I have heard it said all around me that: "<b>Fascism</b> is [by definition] a product of <i>The Political Right</i>," "Leftists have never embraced such socially damaging systems of Totalitarian and Authoritarian Control," and "It is the natural and militant outgrowth of: <i>Fundamental Conservatism</i>, <i>Zealous Patriotism</i>, <i>Unrestrained Capitalism</i>, and <i>Purist Judeo-Christian Religion</i>." Many, are quite adamant upon these particular points. But is this entirely [or even partially] true? Is <b>Fascism</b> really a product of <i>The Political Right</i>, or is it of The Left?<br />
<br />
When studying the world's <b>great fascists</b>, from a distance, it becomes apparent that certain elements of: <i>Conservatism</i>, <i>Patriotism</i>, <i>Capitalism</i>, and <i>Religion</i> are essentially involved and largely employed by such a <b>Totalitarian and Authoritarian Leadership</b>. With respect to the "<i>New Fascist Status Quo</i>:" they will kill anyone who dares to question them, they demand total nationalistic loyalty, industry immensely benefits by the production of new military armaments, and religion becomes just another useful manipulative tool of the state. <br />

</tbody></table>However, let's examine these four factors with a much closer attention to the specific: philosophical, ideological, and theocratic details - than merely gazing upon its thinly veiled and highly propagandized surface. Let's explore <b>The Truth</b> buried, not so deeply, underneath the masquerading makeup of their own public relations and those who would assist in its political promotion - somewhere soon, down the inevitable road. Let's expose it once and for all, laying it bare - whatever is factually lurking underneath - for all time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Is <b>Fascist Conservatism</b> [in any way] related to <i>Traditional Conservatism</i>, and if so how? On the surface, Conservatism is Conservatism. To be labeled a "Conservative," means that you are in favor of protecting [or conserving] some well-established Societal Institution - which, in many cases, refers to the system of government being currently employed. However, in the Traditional American sense, this has always referred to our Commonly Held and Uniting Foundational Documents - which are [of themselves] "The Most Liberal Set Of Documents Upon The Earth."<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0470117923&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Interestingly enough, our own <b>Founding Fathers</b> frequently noticed and remarked upon this convergence between <i>American Conservatism</i> and <i>Traditional Liberal Philosophy</i>. Many of them spoke glowingly, of how: "It is the height of American Conservatism, to give one's life in the protection of such: '<i>A Grand and Liberal Document</i>, as is <b>The United States Constitution</b>!'" Let's face it folks, there's nothing "New," about <i>Traditional American Conservatism</i>... and upon This Truth we are all within one fundamental agreement.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, <b>Fascist Conservatism </b>[or protecting, <i>The New Fascist Political Reality</i>] violates every solitary principle of our Traditional American Conservative Philosophy! Where is there any "Common Ground," upon which to come into any ideological agreement? <b>Fascists</b> are against everything we believe in... they wholly detest all that we invariably stand for... and they can't even stomach <i>Free and Open Discussion</i> over these tremendous philosophical differences. They'd rather kill you first, and let the barrels of their guns do the talking! All in all, they aren't incredibly Democratic.<br />

</tbody></table>Let's now, more closely, examine these claims that <b>Fascists</b> are extremely<i> Zealous Patriots... </i>is <b>Fascist Nationalism</b> truly a product of over zealous Patriotism? Although it is true that [upon the surface] <b>The Nationalist</b> resembles his more benevolent cousin <i>The Patriot -</i> the two of them couldn't be further removed from one another in any relevant political terms. <b>Nationalists</b> are inherently charismatic followers of a perceived glorious leadership and their carefully crafted vision of systematic and profound societal change. Whereas, <b>Patriots </b>are proud of their <i>Traditional and Cultural Heritage</i> and would die to keep things exactly the same - or [even] better yet, to return their own nation to its originally magnificent fundamentals!<b> </b><br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0385511841&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Since "<b>Progressivism and </b><b>Abrupt Change</b>" is a <i>Fundamentally Leftist Philosophy</i>, we see that once again <b>The Truth</b> comes down on the side of <i>The Traditional Patriots </i>and <i>The Historic Conservatives</i>. This is not to say, that all those claiming to be Conservatives are factually [even] the least conservative in their overall political nature. In Modern American Politics a large percentage of our overall <b>Leftist Elite</b> are elected under <i>The Republican</i> banner! Does this shock you? Well, it shouldn't... this has been going on for almost a full century. This is one of the main reasons that, <a href="http://real-american-truth.blogspot.com/2010/06/modern-republicans-and-why-im-not-one.html" id="aptureLink_trKI6uA0zF">I Am Not [in any way] A Republican</a>.<br />
<br />
Let us now move on to the concept of <i>Laisez Faire</i> <i>[or Unrestrained] Capitalism</i>. Has any <b>Fascist</b> <b>Government</b> [either: past, or present] ever even attempted to practice it? First of all, there are the issues being presented by <i>Corporatism</i> [or the rise of, The Modern Corporation]. <b>Corporations</b> are actually the economic engines of <i>Socialism</i> - sometimes referred to as "<i>Collectivism</i>" - and are not Capitalistic Entities by any standard of measure. They only exist due to the benefit of a <b>formative governmental charter</b>, which provides the very basis for their own ongoing factual existence!<br />
<br />

You cannot criminally prosecute a corporate stockholder [or owner], and even his financial liability stops at his initial capital investment. Formerly, only <b>State Run Industries</b> [or <i>governmental monopolies</i>] enjoyed such unwarranted and blatantly unconstitutional [as such] societal protections. Even more grievously, our incredibly criminal leadership has granted these <b>Masonic Corporations</b> our very same <i>Individual Freedoms and Rights</i>. Thus, diluting our actually remaining political power to more wisely reign them in.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, <b>Fascism</b> itself is the bastion of <i>Bureaucratic Executivism</i> - as perpetrated on a massive Political, Economic, and Industrial Scale - and these hierarchical executives flow interchangeably from one position to the next. When opportunities aren't available politically, then the politicians merely transfer over to an equivalent corporate sector... and when corporate positions are scarce, then the businessmen call in a political favor to achieve an appropriate cabinet appointment. In short, <b>Fascism</b> is the height of <i>Elitist Socialist Arrogance</i> wrapped up in the false appearance of a <i>Free Economic Market</i>!<br />

They were all raised within her church, studied their Catechisms regularly, actively participated in their youth, and continued to partake of her Spiritual Communion - "<b>The Eucharist</b>" - even after murdering millions all around them.

Does it have any fellowship with Christ in its largely <b>paganized doctrines</b>? For instance, would Christ murder millions of stated believers for owning a <i>Bible</i>; or even reading it, in their own private homes? Would He demand unwarranted Spiritual Obedience from the point of a soldiers bayonet [or, <i>As In The Catholic Crusades</i>, a sword? Did Christ ever worship any other man, or woman? And why does the scripture refer to Him as "<b>A Priest [on the order of Malchizedek]</b>," if we must still confess our sins to yet another? These are all excellent questions, for someone possessing of a human brain.<br />
<br />
<i> </i><b>Purist Judeo-Christian Religion </b>has never been and will never be associated with the adoption of <i>Fascism</i>... in America, or any other country upon the Earth! Let's face it folks, <b>Fascism</b> is a full, complete, and utter fabrication of <b>The Left</b> in every society which inevitably adopts it. The reason that <b>Leftists</b> will always deny this is obvious to anyone even having one-half of a brain... if you're constantly watching over them, then they won't get the opportunity to screw you over again... and again... and again!

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Truth About America - without Introduction.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>In our never ending efforts to balance the needs for providing the best informational source possible, with actually showing up in the all important search engines, <b>The Truth About America</b> has undergone yet another noticeable site modification. We hope that you'll be somewhat patient with us in this transitional period. As many of you are by now aware, the articles are usually well worth your personal forbearance.<br />
<br />
The fact that, currently, more than one fifth of all our visitors remain on this site over an hour at one time and that almost as many are frequently repeating visitors - equally offers us an incentive to get this <i>American Truth Blog</i> just right - for all of our wonderful readers. So far, you have remained a very loyal readership... and we are honestly hoping to keep it that way. Please feel free to comment, upon the: general look, ease of use, and overall functionality of this site at any given time. These changes aren't set in concrete and [in many ways] it's your site too!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Perhaps, the biggest changes that you'll notice are that we have moved the Categories Tag Cloud to the top of the screen [just under the header] and added a Welcome Widget or Site Introduction to the very first page of the blog. The static Site Introduction was primarily for SEO purposes, we'll freely admit it. As you know, we value the importance of honesty around here at <b>The Truth About America</b> and are tired of all the BS from every societal direction. However, it is: <i>Truthful</i>, <i>Heartfelt</i>, and <i>Highly Informative</i> of what a new reader may honestly expect from our blog site!<br />
<br />
It honestly grieved us to place an introduction ahead of our site postings. It forces our repeat viewers to scroll down to get to our most recent posts, it disrupts the entire viewing experience, and looks so horrifically plain with just text. Believe it or not, that last part bothers me the most. For some reason Blogger doesn't offer a widget that combines: Formatting, Photos, and Text... and we had to insert one of their widgets to our template do it. Consequently, in a momentary fit of creative inspiration, I added the <b style="color: #990000;">"Red"</b> and <b style="color: #0b5394;">"Blue</b><b style="color: #0b5394;">"</b> highlights to visually break up all of that damn white text. Hopefully, it isn't too horribly garish? Please, let us know....<br />
<br />
The Categories Tag Cloud was then moved to the top [directly under the header] as a way to quickly navigate around it - since it will display only upon this one Main Blog Entrance Page. All of the postings will continue to show up and function quite normally. We have also added a number of new categories to search our articles under - without making this highly useful cloud too overly large. We hope that you will truly enjoy them.<br />
<br />
As always, the site controls for <b>The Truth About America</b> are located under the Google Adsense Ads to your left and the archives are under the Entrecard Widgets and Top Droppers to the right. Everything can be reasonably reached, without scrolling too far, and we are hoping that you'll enjoy the new look and clever functionality. Bear in mind, that the only static thing in the world of blogging is its ever ongoing need to change. Thanks, in advance, for your patience!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">***</span> Note: </b>Our next big project will be in actually adding a: well organize, readily usable, and intelligently designed Site Map. Since, I have never done anything along these lines before, any helpful advice [or comments] regarding your experiences would be highly valued!

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Remembering America, the way it used to be....</td></tr>
</tbody></table>No matter how hard I try, <b>Independence Day </b>just doesn't have the same meaning to me anymore.... A lot has happened to this awe inspiring nation, in those intervening 234 years; much of it good, and a whole lot of it bad. Of course, in the 1960's and 1970's - when I was growing up - there was still just a hint of her previous glory. Religion was yet to be criminalized, and Politics was something most Americans could still discuss peaceably among themselves - on most occasions.<br />
<br />
Sure, America wasn't perfect back then, but the terms: Common Sense, Individual Freedom, and Human Decency still held some cultural and traditional meaning. For the most part, our political leadership still made a halfhearted attempt to listen to the voters and [even occasionally] cast votes that reflected it. Consequently, when <b>July 4th</b> invariably came around, it was still a time of historic celebration. After all, America might not have been perfect, but it was still a far greater nation than any other on the face of the Earth! We could [certainly] settle for that: "Bring Out The Fireworks."<br />
<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thetr02-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0385511841&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>However, something happened in the last thirty years... and we lost far more, than just God, in our schools. We lost our <i>Silver Backed Currency</i>... we lost our <i>National Standard Of Living</i>... we lost <i>The Control Of Our Schools</i>... we lost our <i>Freedom To Choose</i>... we lost <i>The Control Of Our Government</i>... and judging by the national suicide rate, many of us even lost <i>The Will To Live</i> - under such a grim political servitude. America has dramatically declined, in every meaningful way.<br />
<br />
Consequently, <b>Independence Day</b> has become less of a human celebration and significantly more of a wistful historic memorial. A time to lamentably remember, "<i>The Greatest Republic On Earth</i>" - with the full realization that, "We The People" may never [honestly] get her back. What will happen next, is anyone's guess - but I am absolutely certain that it won't be very good for our increasingly divided American nation. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, do your best to enjoy the <b>Fourth of July Celebrations</b>. It may be the last reasonably peaceable one that we get to enjoy. With the threat of: <i>Hyperinflation</i>, <i>40 Percent Unemployment</i>, and <i>Martial Law</i> soon governing our streets - I suppose we can be grateful that we made it this far! Hang in there, folks and have a blessed <b>Independence Day</b>. You earned the day off....frank barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028338067353019974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871827860061767657.post-87910331553524527362010-06-28T22:05:00.003-04:002010-06-29T17:40:39.149-04:00The Truth About America Is Now Growing<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"New" Real American Truth Blog Site.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>If you've been wondering what has happened to me, lately? I have been designing, debugging, and optimizing a "New And Improved" <b>American Truth</b> Blog Site. It isn't, because I don't already like this one.... It is because this one seems to be hopelessly at a loss for getting noticed by the search engines! Meanwhile, this "New" site should do much better at acquiring that all important Page Rank - which you always hear about, but can never seem to accomplish for yourself....<br />
<br />
For those of you who have grown accustomed to this particular blog site, I am intending to maintain them both for quite some time. By paralleling my efforts on these two different blogs, I am hoping to actually learn what works in "Real World" Search Engine Optimization. Simply put, everything they've told me to do so far hasn't helped at all... and I can't spend my entire life: clicking, commenting, and writing other people's reviews. That doesn't leave any time to do what I'm trying so desperately to do. Nor, does any of that intense activity pay my bills.... Am I wrong?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Real American Truth</b> looks fairly similar to the original <i>Truth About America</i> site, however, it is a fairly ambitious project on my part, I assure you! Putting the Key Words in my site's URL was only the tip of the iceberg. Aside from making a great deal of changes under the hood, I am also slightly altering the primary focus of that site to offer a more practical and less philosophical fare concerning "Our Current American Truth." Consequently, you will notice that the articles on the new site are invariably geared towards surviving and thriving in our present American reality.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, <b>The Truth About America</b> will retain its more philosophical flare as a dynamic informational site. Being unable to afford an actual SEO service, I'm really just shooting in the dark here... but I am hoping to be your preferred information provider for many long years to come. Be sure to check out the new site - when you get a chance. In the meantime, keep us in your prayers and click a few links. Everything else is solely up to Yahweh! Praise Him....frank barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028338067353019974noreply@blogger.com5
