Across the nation, state legislatures are struggling to take back their Constitutional rights as they also seek ways to protect us from outside threats. This has led to some near schizophrenic legislative sessions with laws swinging widely from left to right.

Making it more difficult to get a handle on the situation is the fact that there has been an outgrowth of near “rabid”

anti-immigration groups that have sprung up demanding near-Hitler-style tactics to “fix” the problem. While the situation is certainly serious and demands action, these groups openly admit that they are willing to surrender their liberties if that is what it takes to end illegal immigration. They may deeply regret that cavalier dismissal of liberty. Once lost, it is rarely regained.

To address these issues, three very distinct, but widely variant legislative actions have appeared in the states.

First, legislation dealing with protecting the integrity of the Tenth Amendment and state sovereignty has been introduced across the nation, passing in at least 21 states. The states are reacting to the frightening growth of the federal government through anti-terrorist legislation such as the Patriot Act and Real ID, as well as the outrageous spending included in the bailout and stimulus bills.

Second, to address the illegal immigration issue, legislation in many states would provide state law enforcement with the ability to share information through direct electronic access. Many law-enforcement agencies are eagerly supporting such legislation. Yet, this type of legislation clearly contradicts the intent of the states sovereignty effort.

Third, again racing back to the other side to protect personal privacy from federal surveillance, there is legislation introduced to prohibit the collection of biometric samples/data, social security numbers and the use of RFID chips in state driver’s licenses.

One might ask, what do these pieces of legislation have to do with one another? They each go to the heart of a battle being waged across our country to decide how much Constitutional power the federal government has to collect, retain and share the personal information of each citizen, and how much power it has to force states to provide it?

Tenth Amendment legislation is exactly what the name implies –

that states have Constitutionally-guaranteed rights and powers. It puts the federal government on notice that states will not act as its surrogates. The legislation unequivocally tells the federal government that its power comes from the citizens and the states and that federal powers are limited and defined rather than unlimited and arbitrary.*Fusion Centers*

As for those patriots who believe the illegal immigration is so dire that liberty should be thrown on the bonfire, perhaps they need to better understand what they are demanding.

Legislation introduced in several state legislatures, and currently in debate, allows state and local law-enforcement agencies to have direct access to one another’s databases. Some of the anti-immigration patriots might see it is as prudent legislation until one takes a closer look.

Most states now have Fusion Centers. Fusion Centers were originally intended to allow local and state law-enforcement to work alongside federal officers so that activity suspected of being terrorist related could be identified and responded to by all three law enforcement entities in a coordinated manner. Fusion Centers have representatives of all three working side-by-side in one office.

Fusion Centers are funded primarily by the federal government. Some believe them to be an effective tool to fight terrorism with little that one could find objectionable. The problem is, Fusion Centers have overstepped their intended purpose. This is typical when dealing with the issue of technology and invasive databases. Mission creep is just too easy.

In state after state we see Fusion Centers focusing on /all /suspected criminal activity, including misdemeanors. Some would ask you to believe that the mountain of information about citizens being accumulated actually stays within the borders of a state unless a citizen is suspected of terrorist activity. However, the Fusion Center in Oklahoma has been directed to develop procedures for the sharing of information with the FBI and DHS.

This means that direct electronic access is not limited to just state law enforcement agencies and departments. Since local, state and federal authorities are working together, there is no plausible reason to believe federal law enforcement will not gain access to all information a state law enforcement or local law enforcement authority would have.

Treasury Secretary does not work for the United States

 See also: Where is that illusive US treasury? Can you say Puerto Rico?

 

The appointment of a Secretary of the Treasury is just that, an appointment to a position which is NOT a cabinet position in any administration.  The S.o.T. is the [governor] appointed to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF).  He is not an officer of the United States, is not a cabinet member and does not represent the interests of the United States.  His position is as liaison between the federal government and the IMF.  His obligation is to the IMF, not to the United States.  The secretary of the Treasury is not sworn into office as cabinet members are, and take no oaths to the United States. 

 

Just today, the subcommittee hearings on AIG and how the bailouts had been constructed, were held.  Repeatedly, Geithner uses the term “your government” when responding to questions from committee members.  He never says “our government” or “the government”.  Geithner uses the term “your government” to distinguish himself as an employee of the IMF/World Bank, and to make clear that he is NOT a cabinet member working on behalf of the US government.  Geithner repeatedly alludes to the central bank which is neither a US agency or organization but rather a privately owned and regulated banking cartel.    

 

How many of you sitting out there actually believe there is a US bank account somewhere in this country containing tax deposits from workers, and funds generated by all the businesses the federal government unconstitutionally engages in, or any of the other contrived sources of income that comprise the revenues of the federal government?

 

I have news for you; there isn’t any such account.  All funds collected including our tax dollars are deposited in the World Bank and administered by the International Monetary Fund. 

 

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 abolished the United States treasury, ended the cabinet position and created the IMF governorships.  Each country being a member of the IMF has its own governor.  When Timothy Geithner or Henry Paulson speak of the G-8, or the G-20, they are speaking of the meetings of governors whose purpose it is to determine what plan or action would benefit the IMF, not the countries involved.  Their purpose of meeting is not to act to benefit the countries represented, but rather to act to protect the interests of the IMF.

 

The IMF and World Bank are also the issuers of all government checks some of which still bear the name U.S. Treasury.  Most checks emanating from government no longer even pretend to come from this fictional U.S. Bank account.

 

• In addition, every Social Security number is issued by the IMF, not the federal government operating as the Social Security Administration.
• Every birth certificate with registration number is originated from and  registered with the IMF/World Bank
• Every Veterans award
• All military pay
• All government paychecks
• All payments of any kind emanating from the Federal government are paid through the IMF/World Bank.

 

The careful depositing of the term [central bank] will occur more frequently as a matter of psychological conditioning as we are forced into a privately owned, world wide banking system.  Once this is forced on us, the demise of the Federal Reserve will follow as it is absorbed into the one world, bank and its existence is no longer needed to facilitate the manipulation of debt and economies as that function will now be openly orchestrated by the central bank.  

 

The World Bank and IMF are expansions of the Federal Reserve central banking system.  Paulson, and now Geithner openly allude to the [central bank], a term which should frighten even the most apathetic among us.  In the past no one directly mentioned the connection to the World Bank, but as economies around the world have been intentionally imploded in order to pave the way for acceptance of a world wide central banking system the term is used openly; that way you’ll get used to it and won’t go into rebellious shock when your dollars are converted to toilet paper.
