The Day the World Watched as Freedom Died

As I sit here writing this article, I cannot stop thinking about the day that this article will be banned. The government is going too far and the world is eagerly handing over more power to an elite few that are dead-set on undermining personal freedom and taking full control of the populations that they were sworn to protect.

2 Party Political System

Republicans and Democrats.

2 National Presidential Candidates

One Presidential candidate from the Republican Party and One Presidential candidate from the Democrat Party.

Electoral College

The Electoral College is made of a body of electors, who choose the president and vice president of the United States of American. The Electoral College votes for the candidate who won the most popular vote in each state, but the electors are not prohibited from casting their votes to the candidate that won the least popular vote. Example: George W. Bush and Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election, where Al Gore won the popular vote, but still lost the election to George W. Bush who won the Electoral College vote.

Super Delegates

A predetermined and selected number of private citizens that have been granted the ability to cast a second vote and not withstanding the popular vote can be used to determine a close presidential race in the Democratic Party. These voters can cast their vote for or against the will of the people.

State Delegates

A selected number of parties affiliate representing the peoples voting will of a state towards or for a particular candidate over the others.

Popular Vote

The greater sum of votes cast during an election towards a single candidate over the other candidates is considered the popular vote. The candidate with the most number of individual votes is considered the winner of the popular vote.

High Taxes

Taxes originally imposed on citizens to pay for national interests including infrastructure, community policing, military readiness, and other governmental needs.

Taxes imposed today on citizens are being used as a tool to separate the rich and the poor. The rich pays according to their incomes and the poor pays according to their incomes, but once all taxes are accounted for, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. Someone is paying more than their fair share and guess who they are?

Low Wages

The National median wage is purposed by the advisement of the US Congress, and then sent to the US Senate to be voted on, and then to the desk of the US President to be signed into law.

The National median wage is at the lowest its ever been especially considering the rising inflation of staple goods such as; food, energy and housing are considered.

Politically Correct Programs

This is a program to regulate the personal daily lives of the citizens. The government exercising its powers to regulate the freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom to dress like we will, freedom to protest, freedom to bare arms, freedom to create and etc.

National Environmental Standards Program

This program regulates the amount of toxins can be present in the soil, water, air and in the food that we eat. It also regulates what type of fuel that we put into our automobiles (fossil based fuels verses renewable farm grown fuel products (corn, sugar cane) and etc.

Federal and National Expansion Programs

Bigger government and more government control of the average citizen's personal lives.

Federal Bankruptcy Bailouts

Protecting the interests of corporations, private banking institutions and defaulted mortgage lenders are undermining national interests and weakening the national currency.

National and Federal Emanate Domain Program

Privately owned property can be seized by the National Government, State Governments or Local Governments without the consent of the original property owner to be used anyway that the government chooses.

Federal and National Media Broadcasting Limitations

Controlling the national airwaves by the means of regulation not only undermines Freedom of Speech, but it allows the government the opportunity to easily indoctrinate the national public in any way the government chooses to do so.

Yeah man. I learned this stuff from an anarchist professor I had a long time ago. The world is getting worse... I wish there was something we could do about it.

I know what you mean - what kind of world are we giving our kids & grandbabies...pretty sad. I think I'll go back to wishing for a big sky rock - at least that way everyone's on an even playing field.

That was 1 very long but fascinating article. I read all 4 pages and didn't get my own submission written today. You have obviously done heaps of research. I don't think that even the politicians in the States know as much about their own government as you - in fact I saw a tv journalist's "man on the hill" interviews with several elected officials who admitted on camera that they don't fully understand the electoral process.
You have reached the 1 scary but inevitable conclusion, but I think you left out the 1 truth that God will one day shake this world and recreate it.

Wow, outstanding and incredibility accurate unfolding of events leading to the ultimate destruction of civilized society. What\'s really scary is that most of these things are actually being considered by world leaders and governments. I heard just the other day that Durfur is being used as a test model for population control. Just blame it on the terrorists and then have a reason to continue starting and fighting wars, while creating billions of dollars for wealthy corporations and the wealthiest people on the planet.

We are to blame for it all, because we say and do nothing to stop our out-of-control politicians from causing this worldwide mess that they created of the decades. The politicians are the ones with the power to vote once elected to office, so it is their responsibility to vote to stop the killing of millions of innocent men, women and children, just for the sake of population control and/or religious domination/replacement.
