Civic Masturbation

by Brian Kilcullen 

How many times when we were growing up we heard our Moms repeat: "If I told you once, I told you a thousand times..."  It was usually shortly thereafter that we received a more hands-on approach to behavior modification; because talk only goes so far.

I've just finished reading an article by Timothy M. Baldwin, addressing the formaldehyde-state of our Constitution today. ("Our Dead Constitution" Dec. 5, 2009)  Timothy Baldwin, son of the Constitutionalist Party's Chuck Baldwin, is an extremely well educated individual for such a young man these days.  It's a true testament to his parents that he is so in tune with not only the dismal condition of our ship-of-state, but from where its problems derive; chiefly the lack of a constitutional, hence accountable government.  It is to this crucial matter and Disenfranchised Americans, et al that I direct this blog.

Having uncovered a criminal racket operating under the guise of federal law-enforcement some years ago, I can attest personally not only to the depraved and criminal nature of this government today, but more pointedly, it's total lack of representation and accountability.  Unable to get the Department of Justice to enforce our laws, I brought a lawful criminal indictment of my own; then served it upon the highest law-enforcement officers and leadership of this nation.  Only to watch every single executive officer (including the President), representative and judge (as in Supreme Court) not only turn a blind-eye to these treasonous scum, but shield and protect them to this very day.  At all of our expense!

So I'm not shocked, to put it mildly, when other disenfranchised citizens speak out only to be totally ignored; such as when those thousands, if not hundreds of thousands descended upon this nation's capitol some months ago only to be referred to as extremists.  It's a tell-tale sign when a group of peaceful Americans assemble in such a civil manner to petition their government and then are branded radicals by the government they petition!

Through any number of mediums, a great number of us citizens are writing, blogging and decrying our nation's decline; be it: fiscal irresponsibility and insolvency; ever-bloating government fraud, waste & abuse; ever-expanding government powers, hence dwindling liberties; unlawful, not to mention fabricated wars; or our death march to tyranny.  And the end result of such demonstration and outcry has been:  Nothing!  Nada!

It's not as if those in the District of Iniquity (formerly DC) can assert they've never heard nor read any of our rhetoric.  In spite of my well substantiated indictment, documented in their possession (EnemiesinWar.com), there has not been so much as an inquiry made.  Other than outright ignoring us or targeting upstanding civic-minded Americans as possible terrorists (Homeland Security's Lexicon of Non-Islamic Domestic Extremists), these self-appointed demigods in government do absolutely nothing but flaunt their contempt for us.

It is becoming abundantly clear, that we are at the "If I told you once, I told you a thousand times." stage of this ordeal.  Just like when we were kids and our Moms were screaming themselves horse trying to evoke change, talk only goes so far.  You can say it a thousand times.  You can say it a thousand different ways.  They're not listening; period!

This brings us to what I feel is the single most important date in this nation's future.  Yes, I'm talking about November 2, 2010.  But no, not for the reason most would think.  I'll explain.  Election Day, for those of you who have not taken the time to study and understand the body-politic that was created and left to us by our forefathers, is your one and only venue by which to control your lives.  But not only is this grossly flawed, but by design no less.

Extending as far back as the 19^th Century, there is abundant evidence to show that there are those who don't want us citizens to have control of our own Republic; primarily, because they don't have faith in our system of government.  They don't believe that people are capable of self determination.  Well at least not us common folk anyway.  This is fact; unequivocal and verified fact.  All you have to do is pick up the Constitution of the United States and read for yourselves what venues, powers and machinations were available to the average citizen when this ship-of-state, the United States of America, first set sail.

Then and only then will you begin to see the usurpations that have taken place over the past hundred and fifty years or so; deliberate and surreptitious steps which have left us subsequent generations thinking that the only control available to us is the power to vote.  To fool the people into thinking that they are not capable, let alone permitted control of their own destiny is one of the greatest frauds in US history; and one of the most prevalent frauds since the beginning of time.  Nations have fallen throughout time from such and we are no exception.

Of course it takes time.  You can't just run in and take someone's liberties wholesale right out from under them and expect to get very far.  So, over time (and generations), you just take a little liberty here and a little liberty there.  A slight reinterpretation (aberration) of language and Constitution here; the insertion of a few innocuous statutes there; a couple of ludicrous precedents to fall back on; and poof, just like a magician you've made a constitutional clause, if not the entire paragraph disappear.  And on and on it goes.  Want proof?  Very well then, here you are:

Once upon a time we Americans were afforded the power to bring capital, or otherwise infamous prosecution ourselves.  Yes, all by ourselves.  Provided us as a safeguard to keep government honest; honestly!  The grand jury is no longer ours though.  Oh yes, we still serve on it, but primarily due to systemic ignorance on our part today, we leave it to the Department of Justice to decide who committed what crime.  Now how's that for the fox guarding the hen house?  (5^th Amendment)

Once upon a time the federal government was mandated to gather and document evidence of a crime (Probable Cause) before being permitted to seize people, homes, businesses, vehicles, papers, laptops, etc.  No longer; under the all pervasive Patriot Act they can, without evidence or warrant even, seize properties and persons at will.  And do!  (4^th Amendment)

Once upon a time, even if the government did have to gather evidence of a crime to obtain a warrant, the accused could demand due-process; their day in court.  Not any more.  Today, the government decides if and when you get your day in court.  (5^th & 6^th Amendments)

Once upon a time if the government or its agents deliberately violated any of your inalienable rights, you could take them to civil court and hold them accountable.  Fat chance of that today.  Trust me, I've tried.  They'll protect themselves to the ends of the earth before they permit that; and use your own money and gullibility with which to get away with it.  (7^th Amendment)

Once upon a time the government was barred from operating an enterprise; racketeering or otherwise.  Under any number of seizure statutes in place today though, they can and do literally run a business.  Some even with business names! (i.e. EG&G)  All they have to do is find or create a crime for which they have assigned themselves seizure powers and then take the word ‘excessive' to new heights.  What's that you say?  What if there's no crime?  Not to worry, if they can't find or create one they'll manufacture a crime in order to get their hands on the loot.  See Enemies in War.  (8^th Amendment)

Once upon a time the government was enjoined from inflicting cruel and unusual punishment (i.e. Torture).  Well thanks to Bush & Co. and the aberrant creation of ‘enemy combatant' status, now we can torture anyone at will; even ourselves!   (8^th Amendment)

Once upon a time we Americans were protected from our government taking our liberties.  Today though, they are liberally assigning themselves unlimited powers.  The soon to come Health Care Bill should lay to rest any doubts for those of you who think otherwise.  (9^th Amendment)

Once upon a time our respective States were sovereign; literally having the power to stand up and tell that District of Iniquity where to get off.  Anyone seen that lately?  (10^th Amendment)

Once upon a time we Americans could assemble and speak our minds without fear of retribution; but no longer.  Today, the FBI and Homeland Security come out and take pictures, compile dossiers, assign arbitrary extremists titles and prepare to exact unilateral powers.  (1^st Amendment)

Once upon a time all Americans were free to arm themselves; No, not to go hunting or target shooting, but to defend themselves against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  You can pretty much see where that's going.  In most major cities and an ever growing number of States, the ability to bear Arms and protect yourself is vanishing.  You'll have to call one of the police agencies to help you when your Life, Liberty or pursuit of Happiness is threatened.  And pray that they get to you before you become a statistic.  That is unless it is one of those federal agencies acting as the belligerent.  Such as when they come to take your guns!  (2^nd Amendment)

And for those of you who see those federal judges coming to the rescue, I'm sorry to inform you that they are no longer the arbiters of our dead Constitution.  I mean come on now; what's the point of defending a dead document?  By affording the tyrants and despots all the rights and protections that we are denied, they are now the arbiters of tyranny.  How do you think these shysters got appointed to these life-long six-figure-salary retirement-in-perpetuity egotistical-positions in the first place?  Yup, by playing Party politics, doing Party favors and helping to protect the Party (Government) when we try to hold them accountable.  You know, like when we try to get into our own courts!

In case you haven't connected the dots, this is, in great part, how our Constitution died in the first place!  With no one in government defending it and us citizens too clueless of our own Rights to assert it, its death was inevitable.

Unfortunately today, with so many Americans believing that their vote is the sum total of their powers, it's easy to see how we've come to this.  What with these self-serving political parties, a contentious misguided press, polarizing special-interests and our fractious ignorant populace to tear us apart and keep us from ever focusing on the true meaning of citizenship and servitude, it's no wonder we've been rendered impotent.

Think about it.  After years and decades of elections have you seen any true change?  If you connect the dots from as far back as you can remember through present day you'll see that irrespective of political party or president there is a distinct and clear trend here; that being, our death march to tyranny.

Now far be it for me to tell America not to vote come Election Day.  Go ahead; exercise your sole remaining power.  But I'm here to tell you that the prospects of this singular event bringing about the accountability you seek, is slim to none.  Those first Americans, the sovereign citizens of those 13 States, would not even agree to unite these States, until there was written clear and unequivocal language to protect their individual liberties (Bill of Rights).  Therefore, how can we expect to keep what few remaining liberties we have left, when we have squandered away virtually all those safeguards designed to protect us?

So after you've exercised your last rights as it were (November 2^nd), for the thousandth time, and don't see the change that you had hoped for, I would strongly urge all Americans to take a more prolific approach to their governance.  Keep your monies.  Take back your inalienable rights.  Make this nation ours again; not theirs.  Because in a society such as we live in today, where the law is whatever perversions the elected deem and only we, the electorate, are held accountable, your sole remaining ‘right to vote' is tantamount to CIVIC MASTURBATION.  All you do when you go to the polls, is make yourselves feel good and proliferate nothing; except our ultimate demise as a nation!
