The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.

The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in 1868, and various zoning, school & property taxes. Zoning ordinances proposed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover widely adopted. Supreme Court ruled "zoning" to be "constitutional" in 1921. Private owners of property required to get permission from government relative to the use of their property. Federally owned lands are leased for grazing, mining, timber usages, the fees being paid into the U.S. Treasury. Also the Bureau of Land Management. Today, the governments at all levels have "allodial" title to all property and permit those who have paid for those properties to have possession in exchange for a property tax. Owners are actually renters.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The Corporate Tax Act of 1909. A misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, in 1913. The Revenue Act of 1913, section 2, Income Tax. Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933. The Social Security Act of 1936, and various State "income" taxes, hovering around 47% in direct taxation: Federal Income Tax (28%); Social Security/Medicare (15%); State Tax (2.5%); County Tax (1 %); and local tax (1%).

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

The Federal & State Estate Tax of 1916; or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes. Partially accomplished by enactment of various state and federal "estate tax" laws taxing the "privilege" of transferring property after death and gift before death. Inheritance taxes are up to %50 - after paying a lifetime of taxes.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

Government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 in 1986. Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" in the 1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill. Or, the IRS confiscation of property without due process, and persecution of those critical - "rebels" - of government policies and actions, frequently accomplished by prosecuting them in a courtroom drama on charges of violations of non-existing administrative or regulatory laws. The DEA and other enforcement departments have actually implemented quota systems on the value confiscated.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve Bank, the system of privately-owned Federal Reserve banks which maintain a monopoly on the valueless debt "money" in circulation. The system was nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This private bank has an exclusive monopoly in money creation which in reality has ended the need for revenue from taxes.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Federal Radio Commission in 1927, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Civil Aeronautics Act and Interstate Commerce Commission, both established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration in 1958, becoming part of the Department of Transportation in 1966; Federal Highway Act of 1916 (federal funds made available to States for highway construction); Interstate Highway System, 1944 (funding began 1956); Interstate Commerce Commission given authority by Congress to regulate trucking and carriers on inland waterways, 1935-40; Department of Transportation, 1966. Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations. Internet censorship, and warrantless monitoring of communications. There is also the postal monopoly, AMTRACK and CONRAIL. Driver's licenses and vehicle licenses control the highways at the state level.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

The bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. The Desert Entry Act, The Department of Agriculture of 1862; Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 -- farmers will receive government aid if and only if they relinquish control of farming activities; Tennessee Valley Authority, 1933 with the Hoover Dam completed in 1936. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. Incentives for some industries, excessive taxation on others. Regulation of minutia on a grand scale.

8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

The first labor unions, known as federations, appeared in 1820. National Labor Union established 1866. American Federation of Labor established 1886. Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 placed railways under federal regulation. Department of Labor, 1913. Labor-management negotiations sanctioned under Railway Labor Act of 1926. Civil Works Administration, 1933. The Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, National Labor Relations Act of 1935, stated purpose to free inter-state commerce from disruptive strikes by eliminating the cause of the strike. Works Progress Administration 1935. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, mandated 40-hour work week and time-and-a-half for overtime, set "minimum wage" scale. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 - effectively the equal liability of all to labor, and assorted unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and Executive order 11000. Forced unionization; regulatory control of market pricing. The Equal Rights Amendment - women do equal work that men do including the military, and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

The Planning Reorganization act of 1949, zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. Subsidized creation of networks of utility services to build vast amounts in locations. Food processing companies, with the co-operation of the Farmers Home Administration foreclosures, are buying up farms and creating "conglomerates."

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form.

Taxation for 'public' schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. Gradual shift from private education to publicly funded began in the Northern States, early 1800's. 1887: federal money (unconstitutionally) began funding specialized education. Smith-Lever Act of 1914, vocational education; Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 and other relief acts of the 1930's. Federal school lunch program of 1935; National School Lunch Act of 1946. National Defense Education Act of 1958, a reaction to Russia's Sputnik satellite demonstration, provided grants to education's specialties. Federal school aid law passed, 1965, greatly enlarged federal role in education, "head-start" programs, textbooks, library books. The Department of Education, the NEA and outcome-based "education."

Beware of God

In Sisters, Oregon, a substitute biology teacher was fired not for preaching Islamic Jihad, not for possession of child pornography, but much worse: passing out an article in favor of intelligent design.

Alongside of pro-evolutionary materials, Kris Helphinstine introduced a creationist perspective from Ken Hamm, the founder of Answers in Genesis, in an effort to encourage critical thinking in the classroom.

Also included in the controversy was a PowerPoint presentation that correctly linked eugenics experiments with Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood. Historically accurate - eugenics science encouraged the Holocaust; Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was an impassioned eugenist. Although the 27 year old substitute teacher wasn't using the soapbox as an outlet to preach creationism, he had apparently broken the law regardless.

In his explanation for the firing, Michael Gould, the president of Sisters School District Board reminds us that sensitivity, not education, is the top priority:

"I thought he departed from the accepted curriculum... and he exercised poor judgment on some material in a sensitive arena."

Mark Looy of Answers in Genesis offered his input:

"The sad incident in central Oregon exposes the general state of America’s public schools. You don’t even have to teach creation in school, but if you quote a creationist writer and also question evolution, you can be fired."

Or compared to 9/11 hijackers - last November, David Van Biema of Time magazine did just that:

"…a growing proportion of the profession is experiencing what one major researcher calls 'unprecedented outrage' at perceived insults to research and rationality, ranging from the alleged influence of the Christian right on Bush Administration science policy to the fanatic faith of the 9/11 terrorists to intelligent design's ongoing claims. Some are radicalized enough to publicly pick an ancient scab: the idea that science and religion, far from being complementary responses to the unknown, are at utter odds…."

Helphinstine shares his reaction with The Oregonian:

"I thought, 'Hey, this is a great chance to get kids thinking, I did not realize how sensitive it was in this specific community."

Sorry, Kris. In our public schools, sensativity matters; but not so much facts. But more importantly, you shouldn't talk about Nazi Germany without equating them with Jerry Falwell or George Bush. And anything that even remotely contradicts evolutionary biology, including The Bible itself, will not sit well with the nanny state.

And Kris, if you ever consider homeschooling your children, don't do it in Germany. Evidently, it's still a fascist hell of a country.

A Talk to Remember

In 1796, George Washington delivered his Farewell Address, made famous for urging future generations not to form long-term alliances with other nations in the name of neutrality. Many generations would take his words to heart. Yet today, it seems as though we have forgotten about Washington in DC. By far, the most disturbing trend in America is the constant infactuation with the rest of the world. "If we're not doing what the rest of the world is doing, we're living on an island" is the creed of globalism. In contrast, we need to reflect on why we are the envy of the world in the first place.

Many excerpts from Washington's speech could summarize how he would preside over the world power elite.

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests."

Presidente Bush might want to read that over sometime.

In reference to Soren Kierkegaard, life must be lived forward, but understood backwards, rather than the other way around. The truth is that we no longer share a common past in this country. Or a vision for the future. At least that's the case between the right and the left. To many Americans, the founding documents are no longer relevant. Justice Stephen Breyer made this clear on national television:

"Through commerce, through globalization, through the spread of democratic institutions, through immigration to America, it's becoming more and more one world of many different kinds of people. And how they're going to live together across the world will be the challenge, and whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nations, I think will be a challenge for the next generations."

I have never voted third-party. Yet, third-parties have played significant roles in American history. After all, it was a third-party that abolished slavery. Which brings me to Montana's 2006 Libertarian Senatorial Candidate, Stan Jones. He is socially one of the most conservative members of the Libertarian Party - pro-life, among other things. Not a perfect man, as Michael Medved points out, but his closing statement for the Montana Senate Debate of 2006 should be considered a fair warning for any American who values national sovereignty over the one-world takeover under the emerging North American Union. It had to be the most underrated moment of the 2006 elections altogether. Under this reality, It is my desire to quote the entire closing statement.

"I wish to thank the sponsors for inviting me. I don't often get invited. This was an important debate. I had planned another closing message, but I feel compelled to say what I’m about to say. Now, I risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but it’s no longer a theory! What I’m about to say is fact.

"The secret organizations of the world power elite are no longer secret. They have planned and are now leading us into a One World communist government. The combining of national governments started with the European Union. That union started with trade agreements, then, a common currency, the Euro, and now a European parliament that is feverishly passing laws that override the laws of the member nations. A constitution was drafted, but rejected by a few of those nations, but nevermind. They implemented it anyway.

"Now, it’s North America’s turn. Building on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the NAFTA section of The Commerce Department is busy drafting laws and regulations for a North American Union - a union of Canada, America, and Mexico. The president has attended secret meetings and signed at least two agreements under The Security and Prosperity Partnership Program. Information leaked out about the meetings; and now, it is all out in the open. No treaty has been signed, so Congress has not become involved. However, money from our treasury is now being spent for this effort. We will have a new currency, the Amero, and a new constitution modeled on the Soviet Union’s constitution. Our rights will not be inalienable, but they will be granted by government; who can also take them away.

"One sign that this is our future is the plans for the superhighways from southern Mexico, through America and into Canada. These plans are not secret any longer. Huge amounts of property will be taken in the name of free trade, peace and security. You will have a national I.D. card with a radio frequency chip in it. That’s already law in America and will be implemented by May, 2008. This man voted for it. You will not be able to move about freely. This is terrorism of the most, worst kind; brought on you by our own government.

"The strongest, freest nation in the history of mankind will be averaged into world communism. Is that what you want?! Are we the people still in control of this nation? We must begin to act like we are!"

San Francisco Celebrates Diversity Again

First it was tax-funded sex changes. Then it was illegal same-sex marriage licenses. Today, San Francisco has adopted the way of the future - the honeymoons of homosexuality being celebrated in your very living room. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has endorsed an effort towards Colt Studio Day, in honor of the industry of sodomist pornography's contributions to economic development. In other words, a "Gay Porn Day" has been declared for February 23 throughout San Francisco.

The proclamation was drafted by Neighborhood Services staffers after it was revealed that state Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) had issued similar proposals. Leno, who attended the Colt Studio's anniversary took the opportunity to thank them for producing images that helped him develop as a gay man. It takes a village to raise a man-child, indeed.

Here is what Leno had to say:

"The owners of the studio are taxpaying, law-abiding San Francisco employers who promote safe sex."

And since they pay taxes so generously, they will get tax-funded publicity for all the goodness their films bring to the city. The decision was predictably rejected by Bill O'Reilly.

"There is not another city in the country that has ever had a ‘gay porn day,' And you wonder why San Francisco values is mocked and your city is mocked and it’s looked upon as a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah."

Leno the Lawman didn't think too hard to fight back.

“With a war out of control and the planet’s temperature rising, I would have hoped Bill O’Reilly had more pressing issues to discuss. Clearly, with his viewership currently plummeting, he thinks denigrating gay male entertainment will be his lifeline.

Funny. We're in "a war out of control" and he can't find much better to do than make a golden calf out of homosexual pornography.

Interesting he would mention climate change as well. More and more scientists are coming forward to predict another cooling period. In addition, Mars among other planets have been going through a warming period as well. I guess we're responsible for the entire solar system's demise, right, Mr. Gore?

Evidently, it doesn't take much outside of being a sexually unorthodox porn addict to run the show in San Francisco. Ever wonder what they'll come up with next?

Civility No More: The Art of a Freakshow

Portland, Oregan
Population: 529,121

Portland, Oregan. Where the sun is shiny, the ice is slippery, and everyone is stoked to see the president. Well, unless it's August 22, 2002, the day that the Portland chapter of the Pacific Green Party went out of their way as they joined circles to turn a Bush speech into a hatemongering convention. And no, I don't refer to the conservative minority as the hatemongers. As it became evident that the protesters would not keep their cool, the police declared a state of emergency on the rowdy crowd of Bush-haters. As the protesters refused to pipe down, the police were forced to fight back. One victim of pepper spray was a ten-month old baby. That's right. Someone had the nerve to bring a young infant to a radical left-wing frenzy. Luckily, the child was okay. But let this story be a warning to those who insist on protesting: find a sitter. When police officers are threatened, they will strike back. I know, how brutal.

On March 18 of this year, they were at it again. While some left-wing blogs have insisted that the protests were peaceful, they are leaving an audience misguided. According to police spokesman Brian Schmautz, there were "a number of items thrown at our officers over the past few hours." According to Fox News, "Supporters of Bush... were jostled and taunted by protesters as they arrived for a fund-raiser."

Let's take a look at what the evil hoodwinkers at Fox decided not to show you.


My parents put me through tougher interrogations than the enemy combatants at Gitmo have been through. And no, they didn't give me La-Z-Boys and pastries to even the score. Knowing how evil the U.S. government is, they had to dramatize every case of fleas they conspired.



Although these Portlanders mix too much Chomsky in their marijuana, you gotta give them credit where credit is due: at least they aren't hypocrites when it comes to supporting American troops.



After years of book burnings, the ninjas wanted revenge. So they burned our flag.



Okay, I admit it. We have free enterprise in this country.

______________________________________________________________________________
Let's see if San Francisco's protest, held on the same day, was any better.

San Francisco, California
Population: 776,733

I think we're dreaming. After all, this is the city where a protester fell off a bridge at the beginning of the war.

Look at this worthy cause. Let's trade in Bush - or any gringo for that matter - for a dirty socialist like Hugo Chavez.

Umm, Sir, that flag isn't gonna hold itself up.

Given their track record, this man could be hired to teach at Kent State University.

The animal rights crowd might not take too kindly to this one.

Romney/Tancredo for 2008?

While the mainstream and the alternative media are in frenzy over - I won’t even mention her name – the remainder of this year’s Conservative Political Action Committee convention was widely ignored by the former and the latter.

Not Surprisingly, Mitt Romney led the polls for the nomination with 21% of the vote, with Rudy Giuliani coming in at a considerably distant second, with 17%.

“It’s an honor to be here in high heels, walking backwards,” Romney joked. On serious matters, he touched on the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold bill that seeks to abridge free speech in the last quarters of an election cycle.

Romney concluded, "To me, a fundamental principle of democracy is at stake. It is the people who are sovereign in America, not a few folks in black robes. Judges add things that aren't in the Constitution, and they take away things that are in the Constitution. In that regard, they let the campaign finance lobby take away First Amendment rights. If I'm president, I will fight to repeal McCain-Feingold."

Later, he vowed to cap spending, something we haven’t seen much of from Republicans these days.

“If I am elected President, I will cap non-defense discretionary spending at inflation minus 1 percent. That alone will save $300 billion over 10 years.” He continues, “It's time to cut out the mountains of waste and inefficiency and duplication in the federal government. I've done that in business, I've done that in the Olympics, and I've done that in Massachusetts.”

Romney’s experience in a high government position has been tried, and although he has “flip-flopped” on key social issues, they have all come in favor in promoting conservative values in the bluest of the blue states, Massachusetts.

How real are his convictions? Time will tell.

But for now, we know that Romney was formerly pro-choice, due to a death in his family as a result of an illegal abortion. His pro-life conversion became known when he vetoed an embryo farming initiative.

He has since defined himself as a solid conservative on many social issues.

Romney has distinguished himself by speaking out on illegal immigration. The Boston Herald reported his opposition to citizenship for illegal aliens.

”I do not believe amnesty is the right course for the 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants who are living here. It didn’t work in the 1980s; it’s not going to work in the 2000s either,” he argues.

In December 2006, he reached a deal with state troopers, allowing them to arrest immigrants who illegally reside in Massachusetts.

Many conservatives have been frustrated with President Bush’s soft positions on the border, leaving the gate clear for a possible Romney/Tancredo ticket for 2008.

Tancredo has an admirable “straight-shooter” approach that is rarely seen in the political arena. In a fiery speech, he criticized “compassionate conservatism” as a movement that has expanded government to unholy boundaries, with the Prescription D plan and the No Child Left Behind Act.

Although he lacks in governing experience, a calling to serve as Vice President would abundantly serve his future as a presidential candidate.
