Different Fears-Different Terrors-Same Results

Different Fears, Different Terrors, Same Results.
The Politics of America doesn’t change very much. It is all about power and control, while obtaining personal wealth as a legislator. The supreme power of course is the Presidency of the United States. This is why candidates sell their souls to corporations, financiers, and other lobbying type groups to obtain millions and now a billion to win that supreme office.
This should say something to all of us. The people seeking this office are power megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to get that office. The megalomania is not partisan in any way, shape, or form. This should warn Americans to question what is really going in Washington that is going to affect their lives and their children’s lives in the future.
The last administration and megalomaniac created a panic fear with a foreign enemy that he used to terrorize people into a war giving the President of the United States more power. One such move was known as the Patriot Act that basically took away our freedom of privacy and rights to a fair trial. Indeed this war did financially benefit the President, his family, and close political associations. The coffers of this administration’s family and friends did indeed bulge with American wealth. The American people did become tired of the drain on their lives and began to complain. The American people began to unite against the elitist class. The American people had a new enemy that united them as a people. The masses would have risen up and taken back their democracy. The American people were beginning to have faith in their ability and power.
The secured and comfortable Washingtonian legislators didn’t want that at all. The powerful Federal Reserve couldn’t allow the people to actually control revenues in a democracy. It was time to bring in a new fear and new terror. The financial collapse came in just like the flaming twin towers. The American people were once again too afraid and filled with terror to unite for democracy.
The opportunity was perfect for a new administration. Another megalomaniac was elected. This administration took more power for the President of the United States. This administration gave political paybacks to IOU’s with cabinet posts that are simply prestigious title positions, but the administration added its own shadow cabinet. These people would be the real power of control. This power group would be hand selected by a President. They would be the yes men of the power group. The President’s dictates would be quickly and efficiently followed through. These czar positions would not be elected or approved by Congress.
A new word appeared in Washington and the media – “Stimulus Package”. This stimulus package is another patriot act. It gives the President more power. The simple explanation is the Congress always has appropriations from our tax dollars. The appropriation committee divides the tax dollars in the House and then sends it to the Senate where it is appropriated once more. The Appropriations monies include tax cuts or increases in taxes. The appropriations bills are then voted on and become the budget. Once the budget is approved, the monies are then sent to Federal Programs and the States for disbursement.
This is exactly what this Stimulus Package is with one exception. Once the “Budget” “Stimulus Package” is approved it now goes through the White House Czars for disbursement.
People may think this doesn’t make a difference. It makes a huge difference. The Congress has now given the Presidency the power over budget disbursements. The Congress has lost its effectiveness in representing the individual states. The Congress of the United States was supposed to be filled with representatives of the individual states to allow a more equitable vote and honorable disbursement of Federal Tax Dollars.
In this move of the Stimulus Package the Congress has given the Presidency and his private power group control over disbursement of Federal Funds.
The Congress has depleted State power and given more Federal Power to the President of the United States.
With fear, the American people are being led closer and closer to the loss of democracy. We should have taken these words of a great man to heart, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.”
Fear of job loss? The jobs are gone, have been gone, and are still being sent to other countries. The financial groups and corporations have been slowly strangling us with interest rates, fees, charges, insurances, oil pricing, and predatory lending. We didn’t take the time to have faith in ourselves and our capability. Instead the American people focus faith on one man and one office.
There is no difference in giving a President power over Congress with fear of war than giving another President power over Congress with fear of economy. The end result is the same. The Presidential Office is getting far too much power.
When a nation as a people gives one office be it King, President, Premier, or a God their total and complete faith, that nation as a people no longer have any freedoms.
