Bogus, Boondoggle Agencies funded with money-from-thin-air; Further Destruction of Capitalist Economy
"Practically unlimited discretionary power is vested in government agencies the decisions of which are expempt from judicial review." - Ludwig von Mises
I recommend two (2) movies for interested viewers. If Democrat voters (or any voter) want to understand what is wrong with their
party, I recommend a documentary movie that contains a completely corroborated history of the Democrat Party. The documentary's title is:
Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. The documentary was produced by Dinesh D'Souza who was 'railroaded' by the Obama Administration into a
kangaroo court controlled by a corrupt judge and sentenced to prison for producing another documentary,
2016: Obama's America. All FACTS presented in these documentaries are the historical evidence of the failure of the Democrat Party although the Democrats have many allies that support these Communist/Socialist attempts to destroy
America, and no group of FAKE NEWS companies can deny the FACTS.
While America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, it doesn't guarantee an everyday political education. If Americans believe in their freedoms guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights, if Americans believe that Capitalism is the greatest creator of individual wealth the world has ever experienced (historical facts prove this assertion), then Americans
should know the people and organizations who want to destroy America from within. Therefore, the best documentary available that exposes and identifies these enemies who have grown
much stronger since the Russian Revolution is The Enemies Within.
Also near the end of The Enemies Within documentary, the video requests that citizens call their Senators and Representatives (those NOT affiliated with the Muslim
Brotherhood and other subversive Marxist organizations) to support
S. 68: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 and
H.R. 377: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017.
After watching the video, you will clearly understand why the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to destroy America from within. Many current Representatives and Senators are affiliated with persons
and organizations whose precepts, behavior, and speech are as Marxist as Vladimir Lenin without identifying themselves as Marxist. One of these organizations has infiltrated America like a final
stage cancer. These un-American organizations must be excised like a massive tumor. This is NOT McCarthyism since you will SEE and UNDERSTAND the evidence presented in the video.
For restoration of power to States and We the People, see the block below subtitled CONVENTION of STATES.

Do federal agencies face any limits on their power?
Recently, a federal appeals court ruled that
Richard Cordray’s position as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
is unconstitutional in its design because the position wielded immense authority over American businesses and consumers with little to no checks on that power.
[Editor's Note: this agency — like many others — obstructs the FREE flow
of business in America creating costs that are passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Most citizens have enough common sense to analyze and evaluate a
product for themseleves without government providing "boondoggle protection" for them. Just another waste of money creating "make-work" jobs.
You should note that both Dodd and Frank retired from government after creating this disaster ostensibly to help the country recover from the housing market bubble
caused by government regulations that tried to give a house to everyone whether they had income, a job or assets, i.e., NINJA loans. This central-planning
boondoggle is, in essence, socialism or even communism. ]
As Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the court: “The director enjoys more unilateral authority than any other officer in any of the three branches of the U.S. government, other than the president.”
[Editor's Note: SEE Regulatory Information Center
for a list of agencies exempt from judicial accountability. These agencies are a massive expansion of agencies since 1932 (FDR). Regulations (rules) produced by
these agencies strenuously impede the efforts of private companies and citizens slowing economic growth and destroying competitiveness.]
President-elect Donald Trump has a golden opportunity to restrain other overzealous regulators. One place to start is at the National Labor Relations Board, which governs private-sector labor relations. Originally built to act as an impartial agency that represents the public in labor disputes, the agency has become overly political and prone to playing favorites.
The politicization of the NLRB is explained by a defect in the way the agency is constructed. The NLRB’s general counsel and board members are selected by the president and normally come directly from union or employer ranks.
Whichever party holds the executive office always appoints a majority of board members (with a predisposition to their preferred special interest), as well as the general counsel. Under the Obama administration, the NLRB has used every ounce of its power to benefit labor unions and disadvantage employers.
The most powerful position at the NLRB is its general counsel. In that role, Richard Griffin currently acts as gatekeeper. He decides what labor relations cases receive hearings and presses board members to overturn precedent — and board members have obliged in repeatedly changing the rules of the game.
Griffin has spent the last three years at the helm stretching the supposedly nonpartisan agency’s authority to its limits.
Recent research from Littler’s Workplace Policy Institute found that the Obama NLRB overturned a combined total of 4,559 years of board precedent. This is unsurprising, as prior to his time at the NLRB, Griffin held positions with labor unions going back to 1985.
Under the Obama administration, the NLRB has used its full arsenal of weapons—subpoenas, costly litigation, regulatory power, and majority power — to overturn long-standing precedents that the business community relies upon for planning and liability purposes.
The use of subpoenas has escalated. For example, in an ongoing case against McDonald’s, the board subpoenaed even more documents after the company had spent over $1 million producing more than 160,000 pages.
While restrictions on the NLRB’s subpoena power do exist, they have been largely discarded. The board is supposedly prohibited from issuing unduly burdensome or broad subpoenas.
However, in cases like McDonald’s that involve joint employer status, the NLRB has so broadened the definition of “joint employer” that almost any information sought via a subpoena is not considered excessive—even including proprietary information.
By expanding the definition of joint employer so broad as to include indirect control over another employer, nearly any bit of information on how companies operate and interact is considered potentially relevant, and therefore may be subpoenaed.
Despite this, the judge upheld the subpoenas because recent court precedent forced him, in his words, to “rubber-stamp” the NLRB’s subpoenas.
Currently, the NLRB is free to issue these unrestricted subpoenas “merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even just because it wants assurance that it is not.”
The frightening reality is that this agency has expanded its authority to the point that it can now demand any business-related documents or testimony from anyone in the private sector, at any time it wants.
Massive and costly subpoenas are only one abuse the board has recently made common practice.
The reason for the “bad faith” ruling was that the board had dragged the employer through an expensive court case while knowing the employer would ultimately win.
[Editor's Note: this is a frequently used tactic to destroy companies that don't fall in line with NLRB's central-plan to unionize all companies.]
The Board knew this because the case had already advanced as far as the appellate court in 2013 before a Supreme Court ruling forced the Board to stand down.
The Supreme Court ruled that the president’s appointment of two NLRB board members during a Senate recess was unconstitutional, thus making the Board’s decisions invalid.
[Editor's Note: Defunct revolutionary Socialist president Obama frequently either violated the Constitution outright or expanded his power
through agencies inserting new regulations without CONgressional approval. An entire list of failures by CONgress to curtail this president's power. CONgress can sit all
fat-dumb-and happy with lobbyist bucks and whatever they can steal from government. What a cushy job!]
The appeals court’s opinion stated that the board pursued this case knowing it would lose because it wanted to send employers a message: “Even if we think you will win, we will still make you pay.”
This kind of bullying and intimidation of Americans by a federal agency must be shut down.
[Editor's Note: this agency was created by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 for controling prices.
Charges of unconstitutionality and communism were brought against the agency. The agency has caused serious problems with worker freedom, the overall employment environment,
and the entire labor market.
Appointing Board Members who represent the president's view is too little, too late.
The president should promote the congressional repeal or reoorganization of the NLR Act to eliminate this agency
and, further, ask CONgress to pass the National Right to Work Act
(S. 391/
H.R. 612).
Workers will no longer be forced to pay dues which will seriously deplete the political power of unions.
A TRULY FREE MARKET DEMANDS A FREE LABOR MARKET — FREE TO REBUILD THE MIDDLE CLASS WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM A UNION.]
The incoming Trump administration has the opportunity to restore checks and balances on administrative agencies
and appoint federal officials with integrity who will protect the RIGHTS OF ALL AMERICAN WORKERS—not just their preferred special interests.
[Editor's Note: The transparent, superficial, theatrically staged,
choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM for us.
Most laws enacted by the envious comrades
of CONgress since the tyrannical dictatorship of Teddy Roosevelt have only increased the power of the federal government to the extreme detriment of individual freedom.
Citizens and businesses can't be free and grow without stifling taxes/regulations or some agency's theft of their property without Due Process because of Big Brother's perversion of
Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws passed to enable
government theft.
We the People are told that America's current corruption of freedom is a "nation of laws". Since 1895 it is a corrupt fraudulent scam designed and
developed to expand the powers of government under the guise of freedom and faux-legality. Two very good examples are the fraudulently ratified 16th Amendment (income tax) and the
Federal Reserve Act (money from thin-air) signed into law 2 days before xmas, 1913 by Woody Wilson, another of the tyrannical dictators elected by progressives who 6 years later passed
Prohibition (Volstead Act) over the veto of Woody Wilson. These domestic events are major contributors to America's imperceptible "slide" into totalitarianism.]
A new Congress has been seated, and it brings the prospect of perhaps, maybe, potentially, in a possible way doing something about the runaway federal deficits. And in other news, several New York area bridges are for sale, which you can acquire at a bargain price.
Excessive Spending Destroys!
Feds Have a Spending Problem — DO NOT RAISE THE CEILING!
Feds Have a Sewage Problem!
See the following links for more related articles:
The CONgress (by
Article V of the Constitution) has proposed and
States have ratified many new amendments to the Constitution, some that increase their power over us citizens. CONgress can propose amendments, and the
alternative method to CONgressional proposals can come from States via
Article V. When "We the People" — meaning
a very large majority — are opposed to Acts of CONgress like the INCOME TAX or ENDLESS WARS or the FEDERAL RESERVE, Acts that restrict and regulate our
LIBERTY, Acts that are a waste of money, Acts that have caused unrecoverable indebtedness, then through local representaatives of our States WE can propose
Amendments to be ratified by States just like CONgress.
STATES and the PEOPLE of America are very angry at the federal goverment's violation of its
constitutionally-defined boundaries. States created the federal government in 1787 with LIMITED powers defined in the Constitution. All powers not
given by States to the feds remain with the States by Article X. The feds have through deceit, distortion, and falsification rearranged the entire contractual agreement
between States and the federal government. The feds have become a very powerful, all consuming force in American government. The time has come for States to rein in the federal government,
to take power back, to limit the federal government's power, and to add some detailed restriction to the definition of CONgress, the Executive, and the Judiciary.
In 1787 a central government was (is) necessary only to provide for the common defense and ensure equality
under the law for all Citizens, to provide a final arbiter for the resolution of unsolvable problems among States and People. Most laws and regulations that the federal
government has wreaked on the States and the People are unconstitutional. States are independent, sovereign countries who realized the need for a limited and defined
central government to prevent wasteful duplication of effort. The federal government, in 2017, is OUT OF CONTROL, infringing and interfering with State sovereignty and their
separate economies. A problem arose in 2012 with Arizona's attempt to secure their border with Mexico. An article is
here. States can prevent infringements
by the federal government with an Aricle V Convention of States to not only reverse past federal government "power grabs" but prevent future federal government
violations of their Constitutionally-defined boundaries.
A new, well-organized group of volunteers in all 50 states have gathered to restore America to
its roots by limiting all 3 branches of the federal government with a
Convention of States (CoS) organization (alternate site,
CoS Action). This is a Convention of States to AMEND the Constitution — NOT rewrite it!
Recently, CoS held an Article V, Convention
simulation with appointed volunteers from all 50 States. The simulated Convention demonstrated how a well-organized CoS can vote for proposed amendments
to the Consitution that are popular enough to be ratified by the necessary 3/4ths of States (38). Obviously, only proposed Amendments that are likely to pass
both Houses of the legislatures of thirty-eight (38) States, that is, the required 3/4ths of States to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution should be proposed.
See the Final Report here.
The purpose in a Convention of States, simulated or real, is to PROPOSE AMENDMENTS that give power back to the People. The proposed amendments must reflect the
thinking, objectives — the goals of people of States — who want to restore our Constitutional Republic to one that represents the people.
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
A real CoS, requires that 2/3rds of States (34) send an "application" to CONgress requesting that
CONgress schedule a CoS. State Legislatures are composed of an Assembly and Senate. Each "house" must pass a bill separately and send the resolution to their
Governor. Then the State sends an "application" to the CONgress. When the federal CONgress receives applications from 34 States, the CONgress is required to set a date for
the Convention of States. CONgress is NOT involved otherwise. The States have the Convention, propose amendments, and dispatch the precisely worded amendments to
their respectives assemblies and senates for ratification. CONgress only schedules the Convention.
[Editor's Note: what I have dubbed the "Legislative-Executive-Judicial Cabal" which the American People have caused by ignoring the generational transition from our Constitutional Republic to what now is, in effect, an "elected" dictatorship. Never mind who is elected. Never mind which bogus party is in power. The superficial, theatrically staged, choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM. We the People still lose more freedom after every "emergency" or unnoticeably when CON-gress passes another general, open-ended law that enables the Executive (dictator) and its unaccountable agencies to formulate more freedom-restricting regulations (200 pages a day get posted to the Federal Register). The "Dictator's" agencies (police force) continue to pile-up more weapons to squelch uprising(s) when the People finally realize and understand their tyrannical government.
Currently, CONgress is just a group of socialists, progressives, and faux-conservatives (career politicians) that, on a daily basis, ignores the Constitution, many of their own past statutes, and cedes their responsibilities to the president ("elected" dictator). A comparison to the history of Rome becomes more and more credible with the Executive and its "featherbedded" lackeys gaining more power while CONgress sits back all fat-dumb-and-happy.
CONgress has made recent efforts to expose State Dept. failures in Benghazi (inept political leader), Fast-and-Furious gun-running (criminal AG), IRS 1st amendment violations, gov't union Veterans Administration fraud, and whining about Obama(Reid)-killer-Care, but these efforts are mostly politics as usual. Most "citizens" will forget about these infringements from our unaccountable, uncontrollable Executive branch with its tyrannical agencies staffed by socialist unions that extort "juicy" contracts from the "elected" dictatorship.
Most positions in the federal government whether elected, appointed, or hired are nominal, make-work jobs (confidentially) designed merely to grow government, bilk money from private businesses and citizens, and eventually fully transform America into a totalitarian state. When this happens, CONgress will have destroyed the economy and the country by their negligence and counter-liberty policies, and it will be almost impossible to Restore America. The 'Restore America' list is only a beginning too.]
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

[Editor's Note: a Constitutional Convention is required to reverse the damage to freedom and liberty since 1900. This Article V was ratified by the participants at America's founding Constitutional Convention as an alternate path for repairing damage to freedom and liberty, a path for the People to restore damage caused by our failed representatives in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of a government designed to represent the wishes of We the People.
The States must "demand" a Convention and explicitly specify an agenda of:
laws to be repealed or modified,
Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
new Amendments or statutes to be eventually ratified by States.
These Amendments should further specify and clarify the powers of the Legislature and Executive Branches. A good example is the definition of a "Bill".
A Bill should contain ONLY verbiage in regards to the topic of the future law. NO earmarks and NO unrelated sections or attacments.
Many past Bills sent to a president for signature contained unrelated but essential funding sections that rendered the Bill veto-proof when it warranted a veto.
CON-gress can override a veto if the Bill is deemed absolutely necessary by CON-gress.
If the Bill requires SPECIFICALLY related amendments, the CON-gress can "debate" (with its usual theater) and vote any new amendments.
The original text of the Constitution contains some very GENERAL clauses enabling both CON-gress and Executive branches to write laws and
regulations with their particular nuances expanding powers beyond intent. "Intent" may be gleaned from a complete understanding of
Federalist Papers.
An example of further specification and clarity for CON-gress should be a clear, very specific definition of the boundaries for the interstate Commerce Clause.
To restore freedom, liberty, and individuality - minimally these must be repealed:
Currently, even with computer-searching systems, the list of antiquated and/or obsolete statutes (and related regulations) is unwieldy.
These statutes must be invalidated unless there remains an applicable reason for retaining the law(s).
Aside from invalidating statutes, there are many regulations that are biased in favor of large enterprises (who buy support from bureaucrats)
at the expense of the competition, effectively repressing the Free Market. Any regulations not related to public safety that gives a financial advantage
to some companies over their smaller rivals must be rescinded to enable all companies with good consumer products to excel without burdensome regulations.
Additionally, the Convention should adopt for ratification at least these new Amendments or statute modifications:
clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop wreckless spending. During a CON-gressionally declared "war" (only after USA is attacked or attack is proven "imminent"),
deficit spending is permissible.
Restore America to its roots, i.e. Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice. Some Agencies are required like CIA and NSA, both respectively focused on defense against real foreign aggressors and not fictitious paranoid delusions of war mongers. Other agencies help where certain interstate communications are necessary. Most agencies like Agriculture, Education, DEA, IRS (eliminated with 16th Amendment) and many other listed here should be eliminated.
Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
After decentralizing and economizing, if tax revenue is needed to fund all or part of the federal government, then implement the Fair Tax.
Regarding a Constitutional Convention itself, some of the available literature warns the reader about a possible "unstructured" and "mismanaged"
Convention that might propose and adopt amendments that could damage the Republic.
Possible, however, it is difficult to envisage how much more damage could done over what the L-E-J Cabal has already done.
If the Convention's agenda and rules of order strictly prohibit violation of the rules and enable a vote on unlisted Amendments AFTER all others are adopted,
then the Convention will be properly structured and managed. ]
The FairTax is a consumption tax unilaterally applied to all Americans at the same rate. For businesses, payroll taxes would no longer exist. Our exports would include a heavy tax for overseas buyers purchasing our products, while our imports would be cheaper for us to purchase. I'm not sure how this would affect GDP, as more information is necessary.
According to the FairTax website, "Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate." The prebate gives every legal resident household an "advance refund" at the beginning of each month so that purchases made up to the poverty level are tax-free.
So a family of four making something like $50,000/year should not have to pay taxes, thus preventing an unfair burden on low-income families. Since the FairTax eliminates both federal and payroll taxes, you get to keep your gross pay amount of each paycheck earned.
John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.
Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.
[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
