[CitizensTruth] Who Needs A Bailout? Reviving National Service in a Big Way

[Geri Perry]

The article makes some good points, including the fact that Americans do 
want to work and provide for themselves and their families . . .

 . .but the article goes WAY off track in suggesting national service as 
a solution. Keep in mind that  FDR's programs did NOT get us out of the 
depression. We got out of the depression when we entered WWII, and asked 
the Fed to "loan" us money it did NOT have but was allowed to create 
"out of nothing"!!

FDR's initiatives actually resulted in a top-down managed economy, and a 
bunch of alphabet soup agencies funded by deficit spending (making them 
ripe for corruptive influences), which are allowed - unconstitutionally 
and along with the President - to create laws and regulations through 
the Federal Register.

About this, PLEASE read this short page: 
http://www.thetwofacesofmoney.com/index.php/Site/AWordAboutCorporations  
and read Part I of my book, carefully.

If we agree that we are dealing with an unresponsive government, 
hellbent are ignoring the Constitution and Bill of Rights - or at the 
very least a government and a Court willing to bend its original meaning 
and purpose in order to serve a corporate agenda - or a chosen group of 
people no matter who they be - then WHY would we want yet another 
national program which is certain to be maneuvered to serve interests 
other than We the People in the broadest and best sense?

We cannot have out cake a and eat it too. The Constitution and Bill of 
Rights was written so as to LIMIT the powers of the federal government, 
and this was a good thing because it made the citizen "sovereign" - 
endowed with unalienable rights. Unfortunately we allowed ourselves to 
be led by Alexander Hamilton - and his international banking friends - 
who wanted a strong central government and large public debt to "cement 
it all together." 

Degree by degree, that's exactly what we got, and we are now facing a 
real armageddon unless we get our facts and our goals straight.

McFadden had it right when he said:

Mr. Chairman, when the Fed was passed, the people of these
United States did not perceive that a world system was being set
up here which would make the savings of the American school
teacher available to a narcotic-drug vendor in Acapulco. They did
not perceive that these United States was to be lowered to the
position of a coolie country which has nothing but raw material
and heart, that Russia was destined to supply the man power and
that this country was to supply the financial power to an
"international superstate". A superstate controlled by
international bankers, and international industrialists acting
together to enslave the world for their own pleasure?
