Correcting the Illegal Immigrant Problem – The Common Sense Approach

By Cliff Johnson

With the exploding controversy over the governor of Arizona signing the bill that makes it easier for police to identify and arrest illegal immigrants, there are some questions that arise. My first question is why in the name of Zeus have these invaders been allowed to enter this country? This has caused a debacle of such magnitude that our system of government may never recover. Well, guess what…now they are here and they will very difficult to deport, not only in the physical sense, but in the political sense as well. We have created an extremely unpleasant situation by allowing this to continue.

To come up with a solution, one must clearly diagnose the problem. Not the symptoms. Symptoms are studied to come up with a diagnosis and the diagnosis leads to the cause of the problem. I say that sounds like pretty simple stuff, right? Well some of us are blessed with the gift of clarity, or should I just say, Common Sense. It’s funny how common sense is just right out there in the open, but somehow folks just walk right on by.

Perceived problem 1: They took yer jobs!!!!!!! Right? Well no, that is really not the problem. In a free market society, people would be free to work for whatever wage they wanted to sell their labor. Thus creating competition and lower prices for consumers. There is no difference when K-mart sells a Barbie Doll for $15.00 and Wal-Mart Sells it for $10.00. Where would YOU buy that birthday present? Hmmm? Wal-Mart right? Especially if the Wal-Mart Barbie shows up to work sober, produces a superior job and doesn’t complain about working on the weekends if necessary, like the Kmart Barbie. My point is, it is not about the job, because in a free market society, I don’t have a problem with people competing in the job market.

Perceived problem 2: They are not paying taxes! Au contraire, mon frère! Everyone actually pays taxes. By that I mean Constitutional taxes. When ANYONE spends money on goods or services they are being taxed! And in most cases, those apportioned taxes are Constitutional. You are upset that Illegal Invaders may not be paying income taxes, but you are. In reality, you should only be upset that the government is screwing YOU over. You have been led to believe that the money the government is confiscating from your wages is legal and is being used to pay for services. News Flash, the money is being squandered and used to pay the interest on the national debt that continues to grow. So don’t be upset with the man who is keeping all that he earns, for he has earned it.

Okay, we still haven’t figured out the problem. As Henry David Thoreau so eloquently stated, “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to the one who is striking at the root.” The issue that I believe most Americans have with illegal invaders is the fact that those who are not working, and have come intentionally come here for a free ride, end up leaching off of the services that WE have been paying for our entire working lives. These Illegals are essentially “eating our substance” as our founders put it. We have been contributing to these services (or at least that is what the government tells us) and they have not, but the law is allowing them to plunder our resources. This is where the anger and animosity comes from, NOT because someone is willing to work hard and earn a living.

Which brings me to my next point. People come here from other countries for different reasons, in my estimation, mainly one of two things; to work and earn money so they may support their family, or so that they can live of the government at the expense of our resources. The latter is intolerable and should be met with full resistance and immediate deportation.

We are now in a situation that makes finding and sending these intruders back to where they came from very touchy. Laws are being passed that adversely affect OUR Civil Liberties as Americans just so we can weed out the illegal invaders. This is a situation that MUST NOT be allowed to get any worse or we will end up like Germany in a Police State having to show papers everywhere we go!

The solution to the problem is following the existing laws, protect our borders and DEPORT THOSE WHO ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY! That includes children who were born here from non citizens! It is not cruel – it is defending our sovereignty as a free nation enjoying the benefits of LIBERTY!

Now for the tough question: How do we go about doing this without violating the Civil Liberties of Americans by turning our police into Germany’s SS? You will all remember ” Paperz Pleez. Do you have your paperz?”

Well here is a thought:

I say we start with the leaches. If a person is using a government service, they must provide proof of American Citizenship. If they are found not to be a citizen, they will be IMMEDIATELY deported along with all of their dependents. PERIOD.

If the Illegal Invader is not using a service provided by a government and is self-supporting and producing, they will be allowed to keep the money they have earned and be deported immediately. They will still have the opportunity to apply for worker status or citizenship – the LEGAL way.

Bottom Line: The animosity and anger towards Illegal Invaders mostly comes from them ending up as a drain on our own vested resources and not because one has the desire to work and be prosperous.

Next, we must remove the incentive for employers to hire Illegal workers by removing government involvement in the trading of ones labor for money. When government controls wages they control the workers.

We must be vigilant in making sure that we don’t hand over too many keys to the government. They will only end up being used to lock up our own liberty.

Attention: GOP Establishment and Republican RINO’s

– Your time is up. The Liberty Movement, consisting of the Tea Parties, Town Hall Meetings and the growing chapters of the REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS, have obtained TOTAL control over the success or failure of the communist takeover of our free nation. You will either support the TRUE CONSERVATIVE candidates and WIN the 2012 Elections, or you will support the RINO Candidate presented by the GOP establishment, split the votes and suffer your neoconservative (False -Conservative) defeat to the Socialists (AKA DEMOCRATS). It is time for you to realize that the LIBERTY MOVEMENT is in TOTAL CONTROL of the outcome of the 2012 elections. You have two choices: Join us in LIBERTY or Suffer through communist / socialist TYRANNY.

– We Constitutionalists WILL NOT put party before principal. We will not cower in the face of tyranny! We will choose to survive through the FULL SELF DESTRUCTION OF THE SURE-TO-FAIL ESTABLISHMENT so that we may recover and rebuild a free nation with the Constitutional Principals in which it was originally founded. We will NEVER support RINO’s who will assuredly lead to DECADES of continued erosion of our freedom and the ultimate disarming and enslavement of our posterity.

You have been notified. Make your choice. Choose wisely.

 

Health Care Reform Using Scientific Method

By Cliff Johnson

Solve a problem by using scientific method

* Observation
* Analysis
* Build Hypothesis
* Test Hypothesis
* Scientific Theory

1. OBSERVATION: For many people, health care is too expensive to afford without insurance. And health insurance itself is too expensive for most to afford comfortably.

2. ANALYSIS: In the beginning, traditional health care consisted of a simple transaction. A patient who was sick had a doctor come over to diagnose and hopefully treat the problem using his or her knowledge of diseases and cures. The doctor charged a reasonable and affordable fee for his services and the patient paid the doctor directly.

In the case of a patient not being able to afford the service, most doctors had an amount of time they were willing to donate in charity. In serious cases of disease or chronic problems, churches, medical universities and charities were assisting patients who could not afford medical care. Point of interest: Many hospitals are named after “Saints”, medical schools or charities? Ex: St. Vincents, UF Shands, Shriners Childrens Hospital.

In the 1970′s government introduced mandates for Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO’s). This plan basically regulated the amount doctors could charge for services and created a bureaucracy that determined whether or not services were “Medically Necessary”. Doctors were basically paid a monthly payment for each of their patients on the roster. Regardless of amount of services rendered. They were also offered bonuses to keep patients from being referred to “specialists”. The intent was to keep health care costs down but the opposite was true and the quality of health care services was greatly diminished.

Doctors did not have incentive to treat patients, instead they had the incentive to load up their roster with as many patients as possible and ensure that the were not referred out to a specialist, even if it was medically beneficial to the patient.

Along with the degradation of the quality of health care, the doctors incurred a new expense. Billing. Patients were no longer paying for their services directly to their doctor, so now doctors had to bill insurance companies. They had to hire billing staff who would end up sitting on the phone all day with insurance companies explaining why a test was medically necessary. In the end to find out that the service was not covered by insurance, so no payment will be made.

Of course with this bureaucratic form of health care came higher costs to the doctors. When the cost of a product increases, naturally so does the price to the consumer. As the bureaucracy expanded and became more complicated, so did the expense. As a natural result, prices have continued to rise and are still rising today.

That generally covers the expense of Health Care on the Doctor side.

Now for the health insurance side.

Health insurance companies are probably best viewed as risk management or gambling companies. When you pay a health insurance premium you are placing a bet that you may get sick or hurt. The insurance companies weighs the statistics and probabilities that you wont get sick or, that if you do get sick or hurt, you would have paid more in that you take out. Pretty simple.

Traditionally health insurance policies were purchased for catastrophic illnesses or accidents. In no way did most of these policies pay for routine office visits. Doctors were paid directly from patients for basic services and a doctor visit may have cost you 20 or 30 dollars. But that was the transaction, no collections, no billing. The doctor received money in exchange for their services and that was that. If something catastrophic happened to a patient, there was possibly a deductible, and the rest was covered according to the insurance policy.

As the bureaucracy grew in the doctors office, so did their expense, and so did the price. Doctors were charging more money for services to cover the increased expenses. Being that the insurance companies were the sole payer, doctors were waiting longer for payments and in many cases reduced payments or no payments. Thus again increasing the cost of doing business for both Doctors and Insurance Companies.

Doctors were now inclined to bill for everything they could legally in hopes of receiving payment. Out of necessity, doctors had to ensure that they are bringing in money to stay in business. All the while the increased costs to insurance companies are being passed along to the patient in the form of higher premiums.

This constant cycle of cost increases on both sides, combined with two of the largest expenses for an insurance company, fraud and frivolous law suits, these things dramatically increase costs to consumers.

The life blood of value and quality, in any industry, is competition . For reasons I cannot determine, government has imposed regulations on insurance companies to prevent their competition between state lines. In the capitalist system, increasing free market competition always leads to higher quality and lower prices.

3. BUILD HYPOTHESIS: Health care costs have skyrocketed because of lack of regulation, greedy doctors and greedy insurance companies. (Of course this is not my hypothesis, but this is what the left and the current administration wants you to believe)

4. HYPOTHESIS TESTING: Looking at my research, apparently when government started getting involved with health care, the process became more complicated and more expensive. Also it seems that actual health care and the patient’s best interest has taken a back seat to the payment collection process. Doctors no longer had the patients health as priority, but held in its place the necessity of payment to stay in business. Losses and increased costs for doctors and insurance companies always lead to higher prices being passed to consumers. It appears that this cycle continues to no end.

SCIENTIFIC THEORY: Government involvement in the health care industry started a snowball effect that has led to ever increasing costs for all industries involved which result in higher prices to consumers. Government regulation interferes with free market competition thus hindering the capitalist system from raising the bar on quality and reducing prices to consumers.

FINAL STATEMENT: By removing government regulation on competition between insurance companies crossing state lines and by removing the government bureaucracy interfering with the simple economic transaction between doctor and patient, health care costs would once again be affordable to all Americans.

 

Progressive Deafness

By Michael LeCornec

I’ve had a few people contact me lately concerning my use of the term “Progressive” when referring to the extreme left wing of both the Democrat and Republican parties. President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and many others are now using this term to describe their political ideology. What does it represent? In a word: Socialism. The progressive movement in the United State was always a move toward Socialism and a redefining of the governmental structure of America. The movement was derailed when the true tenets of the movement were exposed. The term Progressive was replaced with the term Liberal and the movement learned that to succeed, it needed to operate in a “stealth” manner and to “disguise” what it really represents. Now that the true agenda of the term “Liberal” was exposed, they turn again to Progressive to describe themselves.

This Progressive Movement is responsible for moving the US government structure away from a Constitutional Republic into a Democracy and then into Fascism, and now into Socialism with the intent to move us into Trans-nationalism, the one world government. To achieve the latter the free market system must be destroyed, the banking system restructured under the Central Bank (The FED), and an economic collapse designed to remove this nation (and world) off the dollar standard. Any of this sound familiar yet?

It is no accident that during the “lame duck” period of the Bush Presidency a level 5 crisis needed to be elevated into a Level 10 Catastrophe that needed immediate and dramatic action. This was once stuff of conspiracy theory but now, due to the emergence of a “Perfect Storm” (1) A Marxist President armed with extreme left wing Radicals and unions to “strong arm” elements of our structure to comply with radical change to the very infrastructure of the government; (2) A House of Representatives lead by Marxist Nancy Pelosi, and; (3) A US Senate led by Marxist Harry Reid, both of whom will do whatever needs to be done to “checkmate” the United States into its “Fundamental Transformation.” The Perfect Storm was the opportunity to create a Catastrophic Crisis and put the fundamental transformation of America afoot. Everything was rush-rush because this first term of Obama was designed as the “Check-mate” moves for the “End of Liberty” and the end of the United States as we know it.

Now we see why passing Health care is so vital to this movement. The bills contains the fundamental transformation of the United States’ Infrastructure for Marxism, Socialism, and Trans-nationalism. Didn’t anyone question why the bill needed to be several thousand pages long? Didn’t anyone notice why several thousand “NEW” agencies, structures and departments needed to be created? And why it really “needed” to be hidden from the public, and put together with bribes, kick-backs, back-room deals and secret pacts made in smoke-filled rooms? It was not die to abortion or any of the other lies you’ve been hearing. To “SELL-OUT” the country for those who do not share the same ideology was going to cost serious money.

Here’s what we need to know about it today to restore our nation back to the Constitutional Republic we were created and destined to be:

Democrat Progressive = Marxism/Socialism
Republican Progressive = Fascism

It should be clear to us now why there CANNOT BE ANY HEALTH CARE REFORM.

The Massachusetts Earthquake on Tuesday the 19th was a REVOLT and a call for NO HEALTH CARE.

This Congress CANNOT BE TRUSTED to “tweak” the system and restore sanity to exuberant costs.

Now that we know what this 111th Congress is about, we need to be vigilant is seeing no more bills get signed into law. They are attacking every element of the Constitution, every element of Liberty.

What should be the role of Congress moving forward?

Congressional Hearings to expose the evil agenda and consequences to ALL those complicit. Violating the Oath of Office to uphold and defend the US Constitution is a “High Crime” that MUST have consequences.
Remove the Radical Obama Czars
Return of all TARP and Stimulus money to the Treasury (not a slush fund for more reckless spending)
NO increasing to the debt ceiling: we must cut excessive and reckless government programs that are sucking the life out of this nation
Rescind passed bills that contain a “partial” changes to the Infrastructure
Immediately remove the federal government from its unconstitutional ownership of private companies
Audit the Federal Reserve System, the entity that was responsible for the Great Depression and this current Recession that may still become a Depression.

Fellow Patriots, we have our work cut out for us. A Truth that hurts does not make it a lie. There is much that needs to be done. It’s time for us all to get to the work of Restoring Our Constitutional Republic.

God Save The Republic!

What Is Money? – A Synopsis

By Cliff Johnson

Money is a representation of someone’s personal production or accumulation of wealth that is accepted as a medium of exchange for goods or services.

Money is a representation of production, and in most cases, production is a result of manual labor.

For thousands of years, Gold and Silver have been widely accepted as money. Why? Of course its desirable beauty must be taken into account, but the real reason is because it represents labor or production. Gold and silver are rare metals where the ore must be mined, processed and worked into a finished product. See Gold Mining

What gives gold its value?

Being that gold and silver are physical representatives of actual labor, its value is based on the labor and resources that were expended to produce the final product.

Gold and Silver acquisition (of the past)

When a person worked or labored to earn money, many were paid in gold or silver. When that person accumulated the gold and silver as their earnings, it became a representation of their past labor and accumulated wealth and could be used as a currency. Some people were compensated with more gold or silver based on intensity of labor or difficulty of expertise. Based on the individual, they saved or spent their earnings, as they saw fit.

The Banker’s Scheme

There were several inconveniences of accumulating gold and silver; among them were two obvious instances: Portability and protection. To protect their wealth, people would deposit their gold and silver into a bank for safekeeping and when they needed funds, they would make a withdrawal.

When someone made a deposit, the bank would issue a certificate or receipt acknowledging the deposit and the receipt was redeemable for their gold or silver on demand.

Before long, people became accustom to accepting these receipts and were trading them instead of the actual gold and silver that they represented. This was a more convenient and secure way to transport and trade their money. After all, if the bearer of the certificate wanted the gold or silver, they would simply go to the bank and redeem.

Simple enough, right? Well the bankers began to realize that very few people were ever redeeming these certificates for the actual gold and silver. They ended up having large reserves of gold and silver on hand so they decided to take advantage of that situation. They began lending bank “notes” to people beyond the gold and silver reserves they had on deposit. A “Note” is a representation of “Debt”, not money. In fact the complete opposite of money. This practice is known as Fractional Reserve Lending. They began to write bank notes that were not secured by actual gold or silver deposits, and then lend them at interest. This is counterfeit money because it is “debt” being represented as “money”. They were actually lending counterfeit money and charging interest. However, no one would know the difference. The banks had enough gold and silver to cover the occasional certificate redemption, and the “bank notes” they were creating, that were not backed by deposits, looked strikingly similar to the previous certificates that were backed by deposits. With the public confidence in the banks, there would never be any question or any issue, and the people unknowingly continued trading these counterfeit bank notes amongst society as if it were money.

By the bank creating this counterfeit money, “bank notes”, they expanded the “Currency” supply by putting more bank notes into circulation than there was actual money (gold and silver) on deposit in their banks. This is known as “Inflation”. They compounded this problem by charging interest on bank notes. After all, where was the money coming from that would be used to pay the interest on the bank note? You must remember, that the money did not exist in the gold or silver deposits to begin with; therefore it had to be created from somewhere. So the banks just created more bank notes “counterfeit money” to cover the interest on the bank notes they had loaned out. The banks literally began creating bank notes (currency) out of nothing. They had no gold and silver securing the bank notes they were creating. As a result of “Inflation”, prices seem to be higher. What actually happens is the currency is loosing value because there is so much of it in circulation. The actual “value” of the goods and services remain the same. The “value” of a hamburger has never changed, it still provides delicious nourishment today just as it did 50 years ago. What has changed is the amount of dollars needed to purchase the same hamburger. There are TRILLIONS more dollars in circulation today. If you think things cost more money today, you are right, but you haven’s seen anything yet. Soon you will start seeing the effects of monetary inflation from tarp, bank bailouts, insurance company bailouts, auto bailouts, $8000 Government funded “Tax credits” to new home buyers, government funded Cash for Clunkers, etc. As I said, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

And so it continued in a vicious cycle that has spiraled so far out of control that we have landed where we are today. Understand that this process is no different than someone making Xerox copies of hundred dollar bills and using them at the grocery store. Or better yet, lending them to people at interest!

Over time, our central bank, The Federal Reserve, has changed the currency to look different and have different wording. But due to the abundance of public ignorance, most Americans are none the wiser that they are trading pieces of paper that represent “debt” not “money”. Our coins (Dollars, Halves, Quarters, Dimes) actually were made with 90% silver prior to 1965. They were actual “Money”. Now all we have is a worthless metallic alloy jingling in our pockets. They began making coins from a worthless alloy that looked the same and switched them out with our silver coins. Effectively robbing all of us of our silver. Let’s not forget FDR’s Executive Order in 1933 making it ILLEGAL for Americans to own gold. He ordered Americans to take their gold (Real Money) to the nearest Federal Reserve Bank and turn it in for paper money (Counterfeit Money).
FDR 1933 Gold Confiscation Act

So you think you have money?

Well, I am sad to say my friend, you don’t. You simply have pieces of inked paper or meaningless electronic digits that populate a computer screen that are now traded for goods and services out of ignorance and fear. The ignorance comes from the people who have no idea what money is, or even the purpose of money. The fear comes from our government who is perpetuating this illusion that the paper dollar is worth something. This scheme has been going on in the US for nearly a century and the Federal Reserve’s ultimate goal of total control of the money supply is nearly complete. The Federal Reserve, a private bank, was chartered in 1913 by The Big Bankers and the Progressives of the US Congress. The Federal Reserve, with the blessing of our federal government, has printed TRILLIONS of bank notes (AKA “The US Dollar”). The current US dollar in your pocket is worth less than 4 cents when it is compared to its value in 1912. We are talking the manifestation of TRILLIONS of counterfeit dollars. In the end, the banks end up with all the real money (gold and silver) and the unwitting depositors are left with nothing more than inked paper. This is how the international bankers have robbed the people of the world of their wealth. These are the bankers that laugh at us as we toil about our daily lives in pursuit of more of their counterfeit money while they hold the real money, gold and silver.

To reverse this a lot must be done. But the first step is to End the Federal Reserve System. The ability of the bankers and our government to print counterfeit money MUST be stopped. We must return to a sound currency of gold and silver and allow for competing currencies. Every state has the Constitutional right to COIN their own money provided that it is created from silver and gold.

America’s general lack of knowledge of monetary policy must also be reversed. Educate as many people you can. Start with yourself and your children. Money is common sense. If your gut is telling you that something is wrong with government monetary policy, trust your instincts.
