Today, a moment that should restore a full measure of wind to the sails of activists, true journalists, faithful representatives of the People, and all those who stand rightfully united against the destruction of the people’s Constitutional nation:

After what seems like years of effectual doldrums, especially in the anti-war effort where the adamant protests of the vast majority of Americans have been virtually ignored, the citizens of the United States have once again conjured up the almighty storms of self-determination, capsizing, for the moment, the mighty vessel of fraud and piracy that was to be the bailout plan.

The people may and must lay absolute claim to Monday’s victory, as the House voted down the $700 billion dollar rescue bill, with a final tally of 205-228.  The blockage of this bill is the result of the unprecedented outcry from the American people, in hand with a brave number of Representatives holding true to their oaths.  This voice was so loud that it shattered their illusion of absolute control, and now many Representatives find themselves fearfully adrift between the uncharted rocks of mass consensus and the menacing hard place promised by a treasonous administration.

Have a toast with your friends, but celebrate briefly, for this is not the time to rest on laurels.  First, contact those Representatives who voted against this bill.  You can see the roll call here.  http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll674.xml     These representatives will be under an immense pressure to give in—they must know that we stand behind them in strength or they may falter. 

Then contact those who voted for the bill and remind them one more time that we are clearly telling them, our representatives, our public servants, NO, and that it is their duty to express the will of the people, for if they do not, their offices and authorities are meaningless to us.

Look at the spreads on the voting record—this is not a division between parties; this is a division between allegiances, and only the Nays have show allegiance to the rule of law, and, thus, the American people.    Nearly everyone who voted for the bill is the “Corporate Party” and everyone who did not is the “People’s Party”.  Get that straight.  Democrats must embrace an alliance with Republicans who have stood together in stopping this bill and beat back the media’s assertion that this bill was lost to bi-partisan squabbling.  This is the coup’s greatest fear, that we would defy the divisions they have thrust upon us in favor of the unity of our free wills in protecting the covenants that make us a Nation.  Our alliance in this regard is a mightier weapon than all of their sinister devices combined. 

It is important that you do not fear the machinations of the market.  Just protect you investments and savings—there are many, many financial advisors out their like Mike “Mish” Shedlock,   who have called this by the numbers with astounding foresight and objectivity.  They provide honest information with which you can make decisions. 

As the administration threatens you with eminent ‘financial chaos’, remember this, as I wrote in an earlier post:

“There is not enough money in the world to circumvent a massive correction in the market. Literally. That's the problem. There is not a lot of money, actual wealth, at all. There are just a lot of people saying they have money. They hold up a bond that's worth six cents and declare, "This is worth a dollar." You think it is a damnable offense that some family lies on a mortgage application, exaggerating assets, to get a loan? Corporations like Lehman, Fannie and Freddie, AIG, and the whole line up yet to come all did this to the tune of hundreds of billions. But with every default, more of these toxic bonds get found out. You see, the corporations aren't really losing money; they are just being forced to reveal that they didn't have the money in the first place. This is why "the credit" has come to a standstill. That is the usual consequence of lying to your creditors...”

This is not a liquidity problem.  This is not a credit problem.  This is an integrity problem, and without integrity, the free market is simply a den of thieves, and no one wants to trade with thieves.  We are going to have a deep recession regardless of this bailout, but we will adapt, we will grow, and rebuild a better economic model while preserving the veracity of our chosen Governmental model.  We will be better for it.  This will seem difficult, frustrating at times, but it is an easier path than trying to re-establish our Republic after being completely pillaged by an authoritarian regime.  Only if we allow these perpetrators of greed to continue at the helm will we find ourselves with a loss of hope. 

Be wary and react quickly to signs of that they are frantically exercising either of these two strategies:

1.       The policy-drivers regroup, extend their threats and manipulations towards House members opposed to the bill, drive the stock market up and down like a bungee swing to further panic and disorient the mainstream (it’s not about panicking the Wall Street crew—everyone already knows where they stand on this), and re-present the bill in the next two days.

2.        Under the auspices of the ineffectiveness of the bi-partisan house to pass this emergency bill, the executive branch declares a National Emergency and gives the money to the bankers anyway.

I close with the aforementioned prior post’s closing and wish you strength in this continuing battle.

 “We are sovereign individuals who consent to be a Nation, through agreed upon rules of law and truthful representation. There is no royalty or papacy that dare lay claim to our free will--that is what our founders recognized, that is the experiment of our democratic republic crafted from their humility, and that is the experiment still left undone. That we would choose to avoid for a short time discomfort rather than secure the integrity of that great experiment is baffling. It renders the acts and sacrifices of those before us as lesser deeds, and resigns the promise of those who will follow to the ambitions of empty men.”
