Freedom = Distrust

by Dan Hansen (Nevada)

Address given during Freedom Forum of the IAP National Conference, January 23, 1999, Murray, Utah.  Mr. Hansen is State Chairman of the Independent American Party of Nevada.

Throughout recorded history is imposed one indisputable fact . . . Most men have been slaves. First to their own ignorance, prejudices, lusts and passions . . . and then to man’s institutions of government. Pharaohs, kings, emperors, czars, dictators and demagogues have ruled over man thought the millenniums.

Natural man is naturally a slave. Natural man is an enemy of God. Natural man is a beast capable of plunder, deceit, abominations, treachery, cruelty, murder, genocide. The beast, natural man, the predator has turned the 20th century into the bloodiest century in the history of the world. World wars, perpetual and protracted terrorist warfare, mass murder and genocide perpetrated by tyrants such as Mao, Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Hitler have combined with conspirators, international financiers, demagogues, extortionists, drug dealers, and abortionists to lay the foundation of the bloody New Word Order. I realize that the typical American is poorly informed regarding the machinations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Roosevelt deserves greater attention than this speech affords. Suffice it to say that his treachery involved with Pearl Harbor, his consistent support of Stalin, his actions at Yalta and his administrations at Potsdam qualify him to rank among the world’s greatest tyrants.’

I have a feeling that the 21st century may be even bloodier as God’s fury is unleashed upon unrepentant man. The recent catastrophic devastations caused by hurricane Mitch in Honduras and Nicaragua may be seen as God’s judgements poured out upon a people.

Let’s get down to basics in understanding this natural man. Let’s personalize the question. Let’s all ask ourselves, what does it take for our bodies to stink? The answer is no effort whatsoever. Just sit around doing nothing for two or three days and you will stink. The natural man stinks.

Now, we are taught that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Real mothers teach their children to be unnatural, to be civilized. Constant vigilance is required to groom, bathe, brush your teeth, change your clothes, clean your room, do the dishes, make your bed . . . and don’t hit your sibling on the head with your toy Tonka truck.

Eternal vigilance is the price of Cleanliness and eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty. Let us compare liberty to a well ordered garden. A successful gardener must prepare the soil, plan the arrangements and plant the finest seeds. Diligence, planning, and work will provide a fruitful cultivated beautiful garden. But neglect that garden for a day, a week, a month and that garden will quickly return to a Garden of Weeden.

Yes, weeds like tyranny and filthiness sprout naturally.

The generation of our Founding Fathers understood the nature of men and established a garden of Liberty, a Republic under God, a self-governing people.

FREEDOM AT STAKE

Freedom is not the right to choose. Freedom is the result of right choices. True freedom is achieved with restraint, responsible behavior and self-control.

These are facts that are ignored by those who confuse license with liberty in their lust to legalize perversions.

The genius of the American System is rooted in the government of self which is "self-government." Synonyms of govern include restraint as in you must "govern" your temper.

Individuals and nations that are controlled by their passions, lusts, addictions, or ignorant assumptions are incapable of self-government and are thus incapable of achieving the condition of freedom.

William Penn said it, "Those people who are not governed by God will be ruled by tyrants."

John Adams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and second President of the united States, wrote:

"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.

"The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure, than they have it now, they may change their Rules and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty."

James Madison, the Chief Architect of the Constitution, also served as the fourth President of the untied States. He wrote:

""We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

Patrick Henry boldly declared:

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

Appropriately enough, every Federal Reserve Note is imprinted with the warning "IN GOD WE TRUST" which is our national motto.

Let’s talk about money while we’re at it.

The father of many of our present-day International Bankers, Mayer Amschel Rothschild stated, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the law."

Article I Section 8 of the Constitution stipulates:

"Congress shall have power to coin Money and regulate the value thereof."

The issuance and control of money is clearly entrusted to Congress . . . not to private banks. In 1913 this power was unconstitutionally transferred to the private Federal Reserve System. Since then we’ve suffered a debt money system. The only way money gets into circulation is through the creation of debt. Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Chairman, now regulates the value of money by controlling the cost of debt, arbitrarily rasing and lowering interest rates on debt money. If we were to pay off all debt there would be no money in circulation. Under bondage of a debt money system, in order to have an expanding economy we must increase debt. It’s like shooting drugs . . . we go higher and higher or deeper and deeper in debt ignoring the inevitable day of reckoning.

How should Congress regulate the value of money? There is only one way value is regulated . . . By Supply and Demand.

For example which is more valuable . . . A Brick of Gold or ... a canteen of water? Well of course it depends on supply and demand. Gold has no intrinsic value . . . anymore than water.

Nothing in the Constitution stipulates that Congress shall use gold or silver for money. Congress is not so limited.

On the other hand, Section 10 stipulates that no State shall coin money; emit bills of credit, make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of Debts.

What is tender . . . on every Federal Reserve Note is printed "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private."

In other words, states may not create money or bills of credit except to make gold and silver coins tender in payment of debt. This is a limitation on the States but also a check and balance on the Federal Government as no State would need to make gold and silver coins a Tender in payment of debt if the Congress issued an honest debt free currency as did Lincoln and Kennedy.

Back to our main theme.

The whole system of government established by our revolutionary Founding Fathers is based on DISTRUST of man and man’s government.

George Washington cautioned, "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

Thomas Jefferson stated, "In questions of power, Let No More be heard of confidence in man but bind him down from Mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

Distrust resulted in:

1. A written Constitution with specified limited powers.

2. Separation of powers

A. Legislative

B. Executive

C. Judicial

3. Legislative Powers divided in two branches

A. House of Representatives of the People with powers of the purse.

B. A Senate representing the individual states, with both Senators chosen by the State Legislatures.

4. A Supreme Court appointed by the Executive with advise and consent of the Senate.

5. The executive elected by the Electoral College.

Not satisfied with the above listed protections and led by Patrick Henry, the states enacted a Bill of further restrictions and limitations of Federal Power called the "BILL of RIGHTS."

The Preamble of the BILL of RIGHTS declares:

"The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that FURTHER DECLARATORY and RESTRICTIVE clauses (my emphasis) should be added . . ."

Article X of the Bill of Rights states:

"The powers not delegated to the united States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

What exactly did the Founding Fathers Establish?

As the Declaration of Independence was being signed, 1776, Samuel Adams declared:

"We have this day restored the Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let his kingdom come."

What kingdom is Samuel Adams talking about>

The Committees of Correspondence sounded the cry across the Colonies: "NO KING but KING JESUS."

In the second chapter of the Book of Daniel, Daniel explains Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and identifies the kingdoms of Gold, Silver, Brass, IRON and CLAY.

Verses 31-44: "Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image . . . This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces . . . and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory . . . Thou art his head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron . . . And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided: . . . And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall get partly strong, and partly broken . . . And in the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never get destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."

These were literal kingdoms, governments of Babylon, Persia, Macedonia, Rome and Europe. Daniel explains that in the latter days the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom (not a church) but a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all other kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

George Washington in his Inaugural Speech to both Houses of Congress April 30, 1789, proclaimed:

"No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the united States."

Since the glorious and miraculous birth of the kingdom our Republic has gone from Sea to Shining Sea, has grown from 13 to 50 states and has become the most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of the world.

Unfortunately like the ancient Romans our people in the enjoyment of prosperity have forgotten about FREEDOM. American have refocused on amusements, comforts and pride. Conspiratorial worms led by Edward Mandell House have entered the body politic eating away the vitals and protections of the Constitution, retaining the form but converting the government into an agency of power, corruption and tyranny.

Edward Mandell House authored a book called Philip Dru: Administrator originally published in 1912 and republished in 1998 by Robert Welch University Press with a forward by William N. Grigg.

Grigg writes: "Philip Dru: Administrator belongs on the short shelf of political works which are read primarily for precautionary reasons." He compares Dru with Hitler’s Mein Kamph, Marx’s The Communist Manifesto and Machiavelli’s essay The Prince.

Biographical Sketch of the Author, Edward Mandell House

Edward Mandell House was also known as "Colonel" House. The title was honorary. House’s very impressive resume includes: son of a wealthy Texas planter; a "kingmaker" in Texas politics 1892-1902; a top agent for the New York international bankers; mastermind of Woodrow Wilson’s election as President in 1912; chief advisor to Woodrow Wilson during his Administration from 1913 until 1921; the "unseen guardian angel" of the Federal Reserve in 1913; one of the founders of the League of Nations; founder of the Council on Foreign Relations in 1921; an important advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. In short, Edward Mandell House was one of the most important Insiders of the 20th century, a master conspirator. House published Philip Dru anonymously in 1912.

Grigg notes,

"House arguably did more to reshape American politics, with respect to both domestic and international affairs than any single figure."

"House candidly and frequently expressed his contempt for the U.S. Constitution."

Writing in July 1937, Thomas W. Phelps, then Washington Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal, offered the following remarkable acknowledgment:

"As Congress puts the finishing touches on the legislative program for the first four years of the Roosevelt Administration, Col. E.M. House, confidant of President Roosevelt emerges as the prophet, if not the real brain trust of the New Deal."

House in my estimation is the most unknown and most powerful and influential single individual in the 20th Century. He envisioned, called for, promoted and helped establish:

1. The Federal Reserve

2. The graduated Income Tax -- the 16th Amendment

3. The destruction of States rights -- the 17th Amendment

4. The League of Nations -- precursor to the United Nations

5. The Council on Foreign Relations, prime sponsor of the NWO

6. World War I and World War II

7. "Peace Keeping Wars" such as Korea to Bosnia

8. Control and manipulation of political parties.

As Grigg notes, "One of the most important political documents of our age has been blocked out."

House -- established the collectivist state combining the essence of Marxism and socialism into a giant corporate FASCIST STATE. Fascism allows for ostensible private ownership under strict government regulation and control.

Modern Americans can’t deny the regulation and control of their lives by Social Security and Income taxes alone.

It can be reasonably argued and plausibly asserted that Edward Mandell House is still in the White House today -- January 1999.

President Clinton has publicly proclaimed his adoration for his former Mentor at George Town University, professor Carroll Quigley, author of Tragedy and Hope and chief apologist and promoter of the C.F.R. and the New World Order!

We don’t have a White House -- we have a whorehouse and a Mandell House.

These "in House" conspirators have transferred money making powers to the Federal Reserve, established a debt money system, the I.R.S and swarms of bureaucrats to harass our people.

Not content with corrupting the Constitution, these Conspirators seek the complete destruction of the Declaration of Independence. With complicity of both Democrats and Republicans these conspirators are dismantling our sovereignty and nationhood with perpetual NO WIN UNCONSTITUTIONAL WARS, NATO, NAFTA, GATT, World Courts, International Monetary giveaways, etc., all aiming to spawn a Godless New World Order Tyranny.

No people can be free and in debt. These Conspirators have saddled the American Taxpayer with TRILLION DOLLAR DEBTS.

President of the World Bill Clinton bed-hops around the Globe promising billions in aid and trade to Red China, Russia, North Korea, Iraq, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico ad infinitum. To paraphrase the late Senator Everett Dirksen, "$50 billion here, $50 billion there . . . pretty soon you’re talking about real money!" Keep in mind that Russia’s coffers are so bare that the national budget for this year is only $26 billion -- less than what the U.S. government spends in a typical week.

While Clinton gives away billions, I.R.S. agents are harassing our waitresses in Reno, Nevada forcing them to pay tribute on every last nickel they receive in tips.

In short, Americans have become TAX SLAVES to the world.

In the face of proliferating crime in America our Republican and Democrat politicians raise taxes to build more prisons and hire more federal police. The police state is here!

The hour is late, the Republic is h hanging by a thread.

We Independent Americans sound the Alarm, "Awake to a sense of your awful situation" we shout, but, our neighbors and friends look at us though we are mad and say, "All is well on Wall Street, yea Wall Street prospereth. Yea all is well!"

Well, maybe all isn’t so well. God’s answer to the modern builders of the Tower of Babel the New World Order could be Y2K to confound the modern language and communication of conspiring man. Prepare as best you can for the worst.

What else can we do?

John Quincy Adams recognized that "Duty is ours, results are God’s"

A well established fact of our current system of government is that political power is vested in political parties and political power is exercised by those participating in political activity.

As per the admonition of the Father of the Kingdom, George Washington . . . we Independent Americans have re-raised the standard to which the wise and honest can repair.

Against all odds, in opposition to the reasoning of men and in faith, we Independent Americans have established a beach head. We have established ballot position, we have political candidates and we are challenging the monopolistic power of the decadent and treasonous political parties.

As Rightful Heirs we Independent Americans lay claim in the name of Christ, Jesus to the kingdom, to the Republic, established as testified by Daniel and other prophets by the God of heaven, which shall never be destroyed nor given to other people but shall go forth in our MANIFEST DESTINY to govern the world in righteousness and liberty under Constitutional Law.

God has decreed that of little things great things shall be brought to pass. Daniel in the Lion’s Den believed in miracles . . . so do we.

We Independent Americans are a little thing, but our destiny is to restore the Republic.

Go forth in courage and faith. Duty is ours, results are Gods.

Such is my testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Postscript

Excerpts from Robert B. Reich as reported in USA, January 7, 1999:

"The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress have become increasingly irrelevant . . . In case you hadn’t noticed, America’s domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board. Their decisions about interest rates are determining how many of us have jobs and how many of us get a raise.

"When the Fed’s Open Market Committee decides to lower the rates, unemployment drops and wages rise. When they raise rates, it’s just the opposite. When they decide to hold rates steady, as they did last week, the economy continues to move in whatever direction it was already going . . .

"Congress is out of the loop . . .

"America’s foreign policy, meanwhile, is now being run by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with some coaching from the Treasury Department . . .

"Here, too, Congress has become irrelevant. Some senators and House members fussed a bit when the administration asked for tens of billions of additional dollars for the IMF. But in the end, the elected representatives came through . . .

"And when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress. He just calls up a few generals, phones Tony Blair in Britain and sends in the bombers.

"Have you seen a single congressional hearing or congressional debate on the U.S.-Iraqi war?"
