What to do, what to do...
Follow this eloquent hero, Adam Kokesh
Adam Koresh is a libertarian American. Libertarian ideals are anathema to many Canadians but in line with what many western Canadians believe. In Canada, we are inundated with "nanny state" ideals and we should consider other points of view such as are well articulated by libertarians such as Adam. Otherwise, we will never bridge the gap between regions of our nation. Instead of reasonable discussion of our future direction, our political discourse resembles schoolyard brawling. Let's try to grow up and try to chart a path forward that addresses the realistic aspirations of all parts of the country.
On this day, the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it would be fitting if all Canadians took a step back and take some time to contemplate the kind of civil society we would like to inhabit.
A 12-year-old gave this speech at a business meeting in front of 600
people. Her eyes have been opened to a scam that is being perpetrated
upon Canadians as well as the rest of the world.
If you think that is incredible, the following video explains it in much more detail and includes interviews with former Prime Ministers John Turner and Paul Martin, and former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.
"Oh Canada! Our Bought and Paid Sold Out Land" presents how nations allow private banks to create their money
and put the public in debt to these banks instead of creating their
money themselves without any debt. Although it's main focus is Canada,
nations around the world use the same system.
The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America
They have stolen the power from the worlds' sovereign nations to create money
THE
MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that
traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern
political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and
accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of
fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a
cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by
goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the
privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to
a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an
entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the
three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this
cabal of international central bankers.
The success of the
central banking scheme developed into a far-reaching plan described by
President Clinton's mentor, Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley, "to
create a world system of financial control in private hands able to
dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the
world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist
fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret
agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of
the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel,
Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central
banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central
bank....sought to dominate its government by its ability to control
Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the levels
of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative
politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
Several
short-lived attempts to impose the central banking scheme on the United
States were defeated by the patriotic efforts of Presidents Madison,
Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Lincoln. But with the passage of the
Federal Reserve Act of 1913, America was firmly lashed to the same yoke,
so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the
masses a yoke little better than slavery itself. That yoke inevitably
grows heavier with ever-compounding interest, and totals over $20
trillion of debt owed by the American people today ($80,000 per
American) ultimately to these bankers.
This vast accumulation of
wealth concentrates immense power and despotic economic domination in
the hands of the few central bankers "who are able to govern credit and
its allotment, for this reason supplying, so to speak, the life-blood to
the entire economic body, and grasping, as it were, in their hands the
very soul of the economy so that no one dare breathe against their
will."
Adam Kokesh discusses the Federal Reserve system during his 2009 run for Congress
The reason the US Federal Reserve resists an open audit is that if it
happens, people will see that it is just another government scheme to
steal money from the poor, said Adam Kokesh, a Congressional candidate.

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass
injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write
so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world
can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of
the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system
must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up
to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their
neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the
people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the
people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the
process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when
corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over
justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have
peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace
based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual
orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for
ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save
people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that
have already turned a substantial profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space;
create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions
accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of
direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the
resources at our disposal.
OWS: Noam Chomsky endorsing the 2012 US Occupation Movement,
aka, American Spring
Mar 29, 2012
It's a privilege to be able to endorse the launching of the
2012 US Occupation Movement. It's called the American Spring.
As with the civil rights struggle and other genuine popular
movements, the American Spring provides all of us with an opportunity to become involved at the grass
roots level, and to challenge the right of the 1% to destroy the earth, foreclose on our homes, and
undermine the well being of the poor and oppressed today, and of future generations.
They are counting on our silence and apathy and we should
not grant them that lethal gift.
The spring renewal of the occupy movement is being launched at the
Environmental Protection Agency, which has a sordid record of discrimination and retaliation against
whistle blowers, and also policies that harm the poor and communities of color.
It's a record, that lead Congress to pass the "No Fear
Act". The events are extensively documented by Marsha Coleman who spearheaded the
struggle in her book "No Fear".
Over the past months it's been impressive and heartening to
see how people from all walks of life have joined the occupy movement to engage
in the struggle to free the country from corporate domination, government repression, and subordination to private power.
We should not stand idly by in the face of this assault on
basic values and rights and the renewed occupy movement
provides a framework to resist and to overcome in working our own communities
and beyond.
We are the 99%. We have the chance to take power back
and rescue the country and the planet, from a grim fate.
