spiraling an entire generation of children into grinding poverty and third
world expectations of life.
We have lost our moral compass as a people and have embraced a secular
view of morality rather than God’s. This observable fact, as America has
entered the new millennium, is the circumstance of the New World Order,
as envisioned and planned for a very long time by the International Banking
cartel and the United Nations.
Oppression has become more refined and more insidious in recent
decades. We frequently see scenes like IRS agents dragging Amish tax resisters
out of their scanty homes or the Los Angeles police beating a suspect. We
can expect to see the frequency of similar scenarios escalate as we are pushed
forward into a global government and the New World Order.
The fact that only a minimum number of people physically resist
government agents is not confirmation that the state is violating fewer people’s
rights. The level of tyranny imposed by government agencies is less evident
today primarily because the vast majority of citizens capitulate to government
demands before the government resorts to enforcement. America is ripe for
a cataclysmic revolution. The lack of an armed uprising is not evidence of a
lack of discontent and hostility. Six corporations presently control all forms of
media (newspaper, TV, radio, etc.) in the United States, and they have been
diligent accomplices in a massive cover-up of federal crimes and oppression
of the people.
Many Americans apparently believe politicians and policy experts have
been wise enough to create a government that does not crush the people it
was created to protect and serve. The question of individual liberty is now
often marketed as a question of a ruler’s intentions toward the citizen. But
lasting institutions are far more important than transient intentions.
The last seventy-five years have seen the sapping of most constitutional
restraints on capricious government power. American political assessment
suffers from a predisposition to appraise government by exalted ideals rather
than by insipid and shocking reality. We have a romantic tendency to judge
politicians by their dictum rather than by their day-to-day actions and a
tendency to view the growth of government power by its promise rather than
by its results.
The decline of liberty is not primarily from specific acts of government,
but from the collective force of hundreds of thousands of decrees, hundreds
of taxes, and thousands of officials with unrestricted power over other
Americans.
Our political leaders say they have tried to improve the quality of life
by multiplying the amount of intimidation, by militarizing police power, by
