What just happened with the latest payroll tax cut extension?
Here is the long and short of it from all that I can gather.

Everyone with half a brain cell working figured the cut would be extended.
We are getting use to the bicker/barter routine down to the wire.

But this time Barack Obama has unwittingly backed himself into a Republican vise.

The Republican ploy was never the tax extension it was the Keystone Pipeline.

The Barack Obama ultimate choice now is to disenfranchise one part of his supporting base (the Unions) or the other (the environmentalists).

BTW: these 2 groups hate one another.
The unions want the pipeline to bolster jobs and the environmentalists who HATE OIL no matter what.

A win win for the Republicans and a lose lose for Barack Obama.

Pay close attention to the spin from the Democrats on this once it dawns on them all.
Now what?

How many of you have heard the “media yappers” talking about the “political independent” deciding the election?

Personally I tire of the poll results and those who stick to them like glue as if they were the 10 commandments of outcomes for election 2012.

So who is the Political Independent anyway?

You know the guys/gals that both parties are doing their darnedest to court “FOR VOTES” in 2012?
Those illusive guys/gals THAT NO ONE actually knows how many there might be or who they actually are?

Gee whiz did it ever occur to either Republicans or Democrats that people like me registered to their party have abandoned them?
That WE ARE NOT REGISTERED INDEPENDANTS?
That we certainly in most cases ARE NOT WILLING TO FOLLOW Barack Obama’s destructive extremist path?

For heavens sake it is tiresome to listen to the “political analyst” = “media yappers” continue to harp on Independents voting for Obama a second term over any running “garbage pail”?
Are these supposed educated people TOTALLY DAFFED?
Looks like!

At what point do these slow thinkers realize “survival of self” kicks in and people do what is best to save their own personal ass?

It does not take “rocket science” to look at the European economic collapse, our inept CORRUPT congress (who waste no time patting themselves on the back FOR DOING NOTHING PRODUCTIVE) to realize America is headed for an OVERSPENDING BANKRUPTCY CLIFF?

It CAN’T HAPPEN scream the “normalcy biased … brainwashed” sheeple.
Hell IT IS HAPPENING!
Time to toss the rose colored glasses and wake up to the reality.

Stop and think about it!
If you are on the bus with no brakes are you going to pat the driver on the head and say good job?
Then ride his bus again?
If so good riddance!

Time to wake up and detach ourselves from these talking heads WITH AN AGENDA and start using our own heads governed by COMMON SENSE and the ability to add 2 + 2 and come up with 4 as an answer.
Do these people rule your thought process?
Or do you have the ability to conjure up your own cognitive thought on your own?

Make no mistake. This election is LIKE NO OTHER in our lifetime SO FAR.
You can expect the mass to rise up and do something totally unexpected by a government and media that is far to use to a status quo.

The political independent IS YOU!
The political independent IS THE MIDDLE CLASS WITH A WORKING BRAIN.

The “political independent” might be a disenchanted Republican or Democrat … he/she IS NOT USUALLY a sheep.

So the real question is: Are you a “sheepdog” or are you part of the flock?

Keep in mind the sheepdog governs the sheep.

The government and media NO LONGER are the sheepdogs NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR DO.

Take care not to succumb to THEIR CON.

I continue on this blog to try and get those stuck in the “normalcy bias” to understand that ELECTION 2012 is not political business as usual.

The “politically independent” voter is breaking his traditional Republican/Democratic ties and screaming ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

He/she is not being heard by either party nor the “political analysts” = “media yappers” who have their heads in the sand or worse stuck up their asses.

Like many of us out here who actually travel among the population in forums understand we are on the verge of revolt. This mass (growing larger daily) is not OWS.
It is made up of people with common sense who are simply disenchanted and fed up.
They honestly get it!

They are tired of the political rhetoric spewing from the Republican Presidential hopefuls.
None of which send a thrill UP ANYONE’S LEG.
Clearly they would be willing to vote for a “garbage bag” over Barack Obama.

Enter stage middle AMERICANS ELECT 2012.

Americans Elect is a nonpartisan nonprofit whose only mission is to let the American people directly nominate their choice for president.

Their goal is to collect 5,000,000 petitioners in order to put their 3rd party Americans Elect on the ballot nationwide. They already have over half of those pledges.

So far Americans Elect has gained ballot status in Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Michigan, Florida, Ohio, Alaska, Utah, Colorado, Mississippi, California, Rhode Island and Arkansas. The organization is attempting the process of being accredited in every US state, allowing it to place candidates on presidential ballots nationwide.

Guess who the darling of these petitioners is?
Ron Paul!
So those of you who think Ron Paul CAN NOT/WILL NOT run as a 3rd party candidate?
Those of you who think he can not win because he is a wingnut of some kind?
Kiss that idea good bye.

Americans Elect 2012 has provided the vehicle for Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump or anyone else to enter this race at the last minute because they have done the footwork necessary to get the “real will” of the people done.

This group will nominate THEIR FAVORITE and that favorite will run against both Republican and Democrat.
My guess from what I see THIS WILL NOT be another Ross Perot year.
The middle mass is far to barked at the whole system to waver from their path.

Those stuck in the “normalcy bias” simply can not wrap their minds around this “middle mass” being willing to risk another 4 years of Obama to vote for hope of real change over just “promised rhetoric”.

So far have you heard ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GROUP FROM THE MAIN STREAM?
NOT ON YOUR LIFE!
So the average MSM viewer is AGAIN LEFT IN THE DARK thinking what they are told by Bill O’Reilly, Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove and the rest of the “media yappers” is gospel and somehow ON TRACK.

The group has a reported $20 million in their coffers. They are going to be an internet campaign. Probably one that Republicans and Democrats will slobber over as soon as they get wind of how well that kind of campaign can run and how cheaply.

So buckle up little buddies its about to be a very interesting roller coaster ride

Simon Kuznets created the GDP minutia that baffles the peasants with BS 77 years later

It should read Y = C + (1.05) I – G + lNXl with government counted as a negative and NX in absolute value terms.

The actual equation is Y, or Gross Domestic Product, and the four independent variables that are;

C = Consumption. About 70% of the US economy, typically 60% elsewhere.

I = Investment. The most important portion of the economy.

G = Government spending. The negative portion of the economy and most corrupt.

NX = Exports minus Imports. This accounting method dates back to the days of mercantilism economics.

The problem is that government is treated equally as consumption and investment. Nothing could be further from the truth. Government is a dead weight on society and steals resources from the productive private sector. Some government is needed; police, judicial, and social justice at the local level, but the federal spending level should NEVER exceed 18% of the GDP.

Why?

There is decades of budget data showing that since WWII whenever the federal government consumes more than 18% of the GDP 91% of the time a budget deficit will occur.

There is decades of budget data showing that since WWII whenever the federal government consumes more than 20% of the GDP there has NEVER been a balanced budget.

So why do it?

As can be seen with the Obama Administration it comes down to thieves stealing as much loot as possible from the taxpayers and distributing it among like minded thieves, usually unions, state and local governments, and others dependent on the public purse for their livelihood. The thieving of the productive portion of the economy continues until the economy collapses and the host dies. Only then will the government parasites leave the host. The founding fathers referred to it as revolution.

In the past the federal government showed the peasants respect, consuming less than 18% of the GDP in the 1950s, 60% of the time, the 1960s, 30% of the time. Since the end of the gold standard and the Bretton Woods system in 1971 the federal government has consumed more that 18% of the GDP every single year. The lowest it has been since 1971, is under Bill Clinton, 18.2%. In that time we have had budget deficits 90% of the time, the only reprieve under Clinton and one year of Bush.

The reason budget deficits are important is they show the federal government overreaching into the economy and crowding out private sector investment that would have produced goods and services that the people wanted, the creation of jobs that would be sustainable and productive. Contrasted by government worker pretend work that at best, drains resources, and at worse, destroys productive jobs.

So here is the GDP for the last 40 years in 2005 dollars (adjusted for inflation) with and without government.

As can be seen the productive sector of the economy peaked out in 2007 and is currently down 6.8% from the 2007 level. Trillions of dollars wasted to accomplish nothing more than allow politicians, Wall Street, and the Federal Reserve outbid the rest of Americans for the remaining real resources of production. Printing money, giving it to your friends, outbidding the peasants for goods and services, then telling the peasants that there is no recession, only positive economic growth.

The real growth for 2011 will be negative 0.8% in real terms when government spending is removed. I hope this removes any doubt that the ministry of information is feeding the peasants hopium and dopium.

With each day that passes it becomes more clear that a majority of our government officials are either ignorant or corrupt. Unfortunately in many cases it is both.
Time to grab the Dyson and vacuum out the trash.

So who is KrisAnne Hall?
KrisAnne Hall is a Constitutional attorney and former state prosecutor, fired (the story) after teaching the Constitution to TEA Party groups.

You might want to note that her boss was State Attorney Skip Jarvis. Jarvis was a “community leader” for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rod Smith in 2006.
ABUSE OF POWER/AUTHORITY?
Looks like! Skip Jarvis needs to be fired, recalled, impeached or whatever for not understanding and tolerating the free speech of others.
They don’t agree with my political position IS NO defense or excuse.
Attorneys who WORK FOR THE PEOPLE should understand the 1st amendment AT LEAST if they choose to remain servants and collect a salary.

It is time “we the people” clean house.
For those in government who CLAIM they follow “the Constitution”?
They don’t!
You will never know that unless you educate yourselves.
Ignorance of our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS has ended us up here today.
An ignorant corrupt government who does not give a flip if they take every right of the citizens away.
To date we have allowed it to happen.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

As usual the Main Stream Media is missing in action.
AGAIN it is left to the blogisphere to ferret out these stories and report them to a concerned public.

Here is just another assault on our citizens rights reported by KrisAnne Hall on December 12, 2011.

Predator drone assists an arrest.

I have voiced my firm opposition to SB1867 because of its potential use against US citizens, I have been called an extremist, a chicken little, etc. Now multiple News sites have reported an incident that made my hair stand on end. In June of this year, a predator drone was used by local law enforcement to facilitate the arrest of a North Dakota Family.

RT reports: “This is the first time in American history that an unmanned aircraft has been used to assist police in making an arrest on US soil.” As if to assure the reader that this isn’t a misprint, the report continues with “By “drone” we do mean military reconnaissance and assault flying machine used by the US Army (sic) and the CIA, mostly abroad…To be precise, this is the same Predator drone that the US Army (sic) uses in military missions across Afghanistan, Pakistan and any other theater…”

Local law enforcement using a military drone – is this some military sci-fi novel we’re reading? Nope. Apparently DHS has been using these drones in the states for YEARS, yet this story was noticeably absent from American media sources at the time of the arrests. Sadly many people still have faith in the American media, especially if the source purports to align with their own political views. Here’s how it went:

The local Sheriff, Kelly Janke, ran into some trouble while looking for some wandering cows, six cows to be exact. Fortunately for the local sheriff, the Predator drone was returning to Grand Forks Air Base from a mission on the US/Canada border and had some fuel left, so what the hey, let’s send it to North Dakota to look for some cows. Really?
The rest of the story …

Educate yourself on these matters … you can not fight for your rights if you do not know what they are:

Chicken Little and Diane Feinstein – SB1867 Revisited

Economist Gary North

The following appeared in Lew Rockwell on 12-22-2011

“Let us start simply. Let us say we live in a gold coin standard. There are no fractional reserves. Every bank-issued warehouse receipt for an ounce of gold has an ounce of gold in the vault.

Let us say that the banking system has a total of 100 million ounces of gold on deposit. Let us also say that depositors have lent the money to bankers for one year at 2%. So, the bankers go looking for borrowers who are willing to pay about 5%. (I choose these numbers for the sake of easier computation.) Let’s say that they find them.

The bankers look at the financial accounts of the borrowers. Will these borrowers have sufficient income over the year to repay the loans? Will the borrowers receive enough gold in the future in order to pay off the loans? The may be able to sell their labor. They may be able to sell some land. Maybe an inheritance check will arrive. But the bankers will not make the loans if they do not think they will be repaid with interest.

Next, the depositors cannot legally get their money back until the end of the deposit term. There are no fractional reserves. If they want a positive rate of return, they must let the banker lend their deposit money during the time specified in the deposit agreement. Otherwise, they would have to pay money to the bank for safe storage: warehouse services.

The bankers buy a future 105 million ounces of gold over the year by lending 100 million ounces today. They buy those future 105 million ounces at a discount.

Case by case, loan by loan, the borrowers collectively offer to pay back 105 million ounces of gold over the next 12 months. The bankers require monthly payments. The borrowers agree.

So, the bankers lend the money. They money goes into the borrowers’ bank accounts. Then the borrowers spend this money on whatever they want to buy. The money goes out either in the form of coins or checks or credit card payments.

The ownership of this money moves from high bidder to high bidder. Borrowers earn money – streams of income – from these other spending customers. The borrowers then begin to repay the banks.

In a free market economy where there are no laws favoring fractional reserve banking, and where bank runs are allowed by law, there is money in circulation outside of banks. There surely is today: “currency held outside of banks.” This is part of the money supply today.

How can everyone pay off these loans? Where do they get the extra 5%? By selling more goods and services to other people who use gold coins to buy items. Some of these gold coins may be held outside the banking system.

But what happens if the borrowers find that they can no longer afford to do this? They cannot earn the extra money from outside the bank-money system. They will not borrow at 5%. They will agree only to less.

The bankers will find fewer takers for the loans at 5%. They will have to lend at lower rates. They will have to pay less to depositors.

Depositors may pull money out of the banks. The money held outside of banks then increases. The money in banks decreases. The recipients of the depositors’ withdrawn money then spend this money. This makes it possible for borrowers to pay extra money to bankers.

On the other hand, some depositors may agree to be paid less interest. They may agree all the way to zero or very close to it.

Why would they hand over their gold coins to the banks at zero percent? Because, in a free market economy, the production of goods and services constantly increases. This has been the normal situation ever since 1800. The greatest unanswered question of modern history is how this compound economic growth started when it did and where it did: Great Britain and the United States. But it did, and the world changed. Sellers’ competition drives down money prices. The real price of goods falls even when the money price of goods stays the same. People get richer even though the have no extra money.

So, in a free market economy, the money (gold coins) paid by borrowers to lenders may not be more than the money borrowed – zero percent – but the real income of the lenders rises. Interest is still being paid to lenders, but it is concealed. The interest rate is the same as the decline in gold-denominated prices.

Side benefit: no one pays income taxes on this increased wealth. Why not? Because the income in gold coins is the same as the outflow.

Isn’t price deflation grand?

Say that a gold coins owner goes to a banker. “I will pay you to store my coins.” The banker says, “Fine. That will cost you 2% a year.” The coin owner says: “That’s way too high.” The banker says: “I’ll tell you what. Let me lend out your coins, and I’ll put coins of the same weight and fineness back in the vault in a year. It will cost you nothing.” The coin man says: “But I won’t make any money.” The banker says: “True, but you also won’t pay any income tax. The gold in a year will probably be worth 3% more in purchasing power. And you will worry less about burglars.”

Deal? Deal!

Modern men are deceived by the above-zero money rate of interest received by fractionally reserved banks in a price inflationary economy. This distracts their attention from the fundamental aspect of the free market economy, namely, the constantly declining real price of goods and services.”

Thank you Mr. North.

Is it to late for “we the people” in the USA to change this “Ideological Subversion” TIDE?

After 2 years I happened to listen again to this video interview of Yuri Bezmenov. I was shocked at the rapid decline of a FREE AMERICA since the first time I listened and posted this video.

I suggest if you are someone who wants to remain FREE it is worth while to take an hour and 20 minutes to listen to the video presented below. If you absolutely can not spare that amount of time … listen to AT LEAST from 1:06 until the end (the last 15 minutes or so).

Starting around 1:06 in the video Bezmenov talks about how propaganda is used (Ideological Subversion) to take a country over. It is a slow brainwashing process with 4 basic stages.

1. DEMORALIZATION (15 to 20 years)
2. DESTABILIZATION (2 to 5 years)
3. CRISIS (6 mos)
4. NORMALIZATION where the mass is essentially slave forever how long.

Of important note for me was that once brainwashed no matter what proof you offer those who have been brainwashed CAN NOT, NOR EVER WILL BE CONVINCED OTHERWISE.

Why should you pay attention to Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov?
Because he WAS THE REAL DEAL. He was a trained propagandist for the KGB. Bezmenov was born in Moscow 1939, the son of a high ranking military officer.
Because of this he was schooled with the elite and became an expert in Indian cultures and Indian languages.

He was a distinguished part of RIA (Russian Information Agency) Novosti the press arm of Soviet Russia. As it turns out it is a front for the KGB.

Yuri Bezmenov escaped from Russian in 1970 because he could no longer condone or live with the tasks he was suppose to carry out.

I can’t imagine how anyone in America today can’t see what is going on, can’t see what is happening to their freedom. Sadly, too many people don’t want to see what is happening, but ignoring the problem won’t make it go away. Not only will the problem not go away, it will fester and get worse like a wound that doesn’t get washed, medicated, and bandaged.
The festering wound that too many people don’t want to see is the government, both political parties. This wound has been left by We the People to fester and get infected for far too long. It is time we began treating the wound. I have a plan laid out later in this article.
I just read about another government plan to “protect us”. Janet Napolitano is calling for a plan to control mass migration of “immigrants”:
http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/napolitano-asks-ice-mass-migration-plan/256901

The administration spins this plan as a national security measure, and uses the Presidential Policy Directive on National Preparedness for their justification. Napolitano and her enablers, in both parties, are being “humane”, thinking about those “poor Mexicans” who have it so tough in Mexico. Our government can’t take care of what they have now, can they? We have to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to survive now, yet the regime wants to add to the list? And in the name of “caring for those poor immigrants” they let American citizens do without, and threaten to make them do with less, all in the name of being “humane”.

This plan is another nail in the coffin of freedom yet I continually hear people dismiss these nails with, “it can’t happen here”, “it won’t happen here”, “I don’t think we really have much to worry about, the government cares about us”. Anyone want to buy a bridge in NYC?
The festering wound I refer to is the tyranny being implemented now and planned for the future by the government, and the apathy of all too many citizens. The washing needed here is prayer; the disinfectant needed is knowledge of the real issues. The medication is letting elected officials know we are watching and we are knowledgeable. The wound dressing is voting almost all of those in Congress out of Congress. More on this later.

Having humanity and compassion as character traits is admirable. I may not sound “humane” or “compassionate” in some of my viewpoints but I am actually more humane and compassionate than the liberals. I want everyone in this nation to prosper, to climb the economic ladder, not wallow in poverty and hopelessness. I desire to see a nation where anyone can succeed if they have the desire and the drive to succeed. I want to take care of those who truly can’t take care of themselves, physically or mentally, and I am totally in favor of helping those who just need a hand up. This isn’t what we are seeing today. We are seeing the systemic destruction of our nation, our lives, and our freedoms. We are seeing government take more control of our society. We are seeing people subjugated because they feel “entitled” to the possessions of others and are being pandered to by both political parties. This isn’t about fairness, it is about control.

Now back to my earlier medical reference. The “festering wound” is what has been done in the past, what is being done now, and what is “planned for” in this plan for mass movement of people, among other tyrannical moves by the federal government. They speak of “immigration” but is that their actual concern? Couldn’t that mass migration be any person or any group of people? What is to stop them from “migrating” non-Hispanic people to another area and turning the southwestern portion of the United States into another province of Mexico? Hitler started with Jews, then progressed to Gypsies, Homosexuals, and any non-Aryan person. Hitler murdered 11 million people in the name of “compassion”. The Israeli government, under appeasers they call “moderates”, have removed settlers from areas and turned those areas over to Muslims. The result seems to be that those areas are now missile launching pads, but what the heck, “fairness” was implemented.

Although there is denial from some politicians, Sections 1031 and 1032 of the National Defense Administration Act (SB 1867/HR 1540) seem to be aimed at American citizens, not aliens. We now have legislation that appears to allow the military to arrest any citizen, without just cause, without charges, without warrants, and hold them indefinitely inside or outside the United States. Indefinitely means “until the war on terror is over”. And when will that fine day occur? They are also actively planning an “internet kill switch” to give a China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. type of government control of the internet. I wrote about this a little over a year ago when Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn) introduced legislation for this purpose, “for national security reasons”. Last month we had the test of the National Emergency Alert System that gave government agencies complete control of all radio and television broadcast signals. We now know that it is possible for the Goebbels Commission (FCC) to seize control of all broadcast signals at one time. Isn’t that encouraging to freedom loving people?

The FEMA camps that people have laughed at or denied are now being brought into a usable state. The “conspiracy theory” that I wrote about over a year ago is now fact. The government is looking to companies like Halliburton to staff these camps. Remember Halliburton in Iraq? The government has solicited bids for personnel to staff the camps. Have you seen pictures of these camps? If not, you should. They are eerily similar to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. I suspect that these camps aren’t only for illegal immigrants. I could go on for days about what is being done by government, by both political parties, but if you don’t see the light now or still deny the facts then that would be wasted time and space.

Now, what to do about the festering wound. The first thing we need to do is wash the wound. We need to look at the damage and see what needs to be done. To see the damage clearly and to acknowledge the extent of that damage is the first step. We wash the wound with clear vision by asking God to open our eyes to truth, the truth of God and the truth of our situation. We need wisdom to properly treat the wound. We get the wisdom of how to treat the wound through prayer. Every religion I know of prays. What or who they pray to is not the issue here, so don’t get lost in dogma. I am a Christian so I pray to the God of Abraham, through Jesus Christ.

I pray for the vision of a clear heart and a clear mind to see the truth and to see the issues as they truly are. I pray that I will have the Wisdom of Solomon to work in the proper manner to solve the problems I see, the courage of David to actually deal with the problems, and the compassion and the practicality of Jesus in dealing with the problems. Jesus wasn’t all compassion, He had a practical side also. I pray for protection for my country, my family, my friends, and myself.

The next step is to take the vision and wisdom received through the prayers and treat the wound. We use the vision and wisdom to learn about what the government is doing in the name of these wonderful “utopian” plans to take care of everyone in the world. Study some recent history. Take a good look at the 20th Century. Look at where other nations have gone and how they got there. Use your vision and wisdom to find out exactly what is being done that you aren’t being told about or what has been done that you have ignored in the past.

We treat the wound by first washing and assessing damage, then disinfecting it. We disinfect the wound by learning what the Constitution says, what our founding fathers did, how they set this nation up. We disinfect the wound by learning what legislation is being passed, how the wording affects citizens, and what bureaucratic regulations are being created to implement said legislation. We don’t just listen to what politicians and bureaucrats say in sound bites, we look at what they are doing behind the talking points and rosy analogies, and look at what they are doing behind closed doors.

We disinfect the wound by keeping in contact with elected officials and let them know we are watching, what we expect of them, and what the results will be if they choose to ignore us. We use the antiseptic of our involvement to remove the infection that has been festering for much too long. Again wisdom comes into play as we need the wisdom to know how to go about said disinfection.

We can all disinfect at all levels of government, in various capacities. School board, City, and County elections have abysmal voter turnouts and we wonder why they don’t seem to care what we think. You can disinfect the government by keeping in contact with all levels of elected officials.
Let them know where you stand and that you will vote them out if they don’t represent you properly. Write, call, fax, or e-mail Congress members, and other elected officials at all levels, often. Let them know you are here and you vote.

Cleaning and disinfecting the wound doesn’t accomplish much if that is all we do. Next we must medicate and bandage the wound by standing up and volunteering to serve our communities. At the local level get involved by running for school board seats, city councils, county government, etc. Some can get more involved at the state level. Run for office if you can at any level of government. So far we still have government Of the People, By the People, and For the People. It is up to us to keep it that way.

Help heal the festering wound that is infecting America. Use prayer to gain the vision and the wisdom to know what the damage is, and the courage to do what is necessary to treat the wound. Be the medicine and dressing on the wound you just cleaned up and disinfected. Be a part of the healing of your nation, of the future of your children and grandchildren.

We can do this but it needs to be done as a team. The Medical-A Team is God, assisted by We the People. Just as doctors and nurses work together to heal bodily wounds and infections; We the People can work together, Under God, to heal our political wounds and infections.

First we look to God, we plead our case, and we ask for His forgiveness and mercy (2 Chronicles 7:14). Then we follow His wisdom, and act through that wisdom with courage to make the changes needed to survive as a free nation. This is the answer to our future, are you willing?

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.
