A fire broke out at a munitions plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Minimal damage. No deaths. The plant is owned by the Federal Government via Taxpayer money – and General Dynamics uses the facility to make munitions for – Ukraine. Silly me – I thought our Federal Government needed money to make munitions for America – according to Justifiable – Mike Johnson. General Dynamics share price was $9 thirty years ago – $78 ten years ago and $285+ today; an increase of 3,167%. They claim their backlog orders as of 12/23 is the highest ever at $93.6 billion ($21 billion unfunded) on annual income averaging in the $46-$50 billion range. They report an inventory value of $8.6 billion.
So where are all these munitions? The US claims its stockpile inventory is depleted… so where did the annual $50 billion go? Since American Taxpayers are funding them – why don’t we get the entirety of their Net Profits? Have all these munitions been sent to Ukraine? Shouldn’t we be kept apprised given we are defacto shareholders
This is what Mike Johnson is pushing for – more money from taxpayers to give to the Military Industrial Complex to produce weapons for Ukraine and Israel. For Free. And this is just ONE entity.
Outside of the General Dynamic CEO salary package of $22.6 million per year, the top 4 executives salary packages total near $30 million. General Dynamic has no less than eleven members on the Board of Directors all receiving compensation packages over $320,000. Why would they need a Board of Directors if GD works for the Federal Government? And why do American Taxpayers pay exorbitant CEO and executive salaries far greater than the President of the United States – for a company we fund?
Certainly, there is private industry freedom – but General Dynamics and the Federal Government claim they are partners.
This is the ‘financial arrangement’ brokered by a slew of Lawyers, aka Congress. (I don’t recommend their legal services). And yet, they are the Federal Government routinely claim they are broke. It illuminates the extent of fraud that has drilled into the very core of America’s government for decades. Making a few laws – or lifting a few – will have negligible impact on the inherent injustice that has been created from the top down AND the bottom up. Every state, every city, every DA, AG, down to local school boards have been infiltrated with a doctrine of deceit.
So, hypothetically how can it be repaired by Trump and his team?
It will take a literal and figurative army of wounded warriors. Chair potatoes will have to get up and do their part. No one can be exempt. Key is where to start, keep it legal, keep it Constitutional, and keep it clean! Use the resources within a President’s authority so that the left doesn’t unravel the start before it gets off the ground.
- Use their tactic of overwhelming – ie, inundate with lawsuits backed by factual evidentiary. To the tune of tens of thousands against everyone from Pelosi to Soros, to Congress, to Larry Fink. Have the suits ready to be slapped the day he takes office; election interference, insurrections, Pandemic Fraud, .
- Let loose the Executive Orders: a) lifting every Order initiated during the Biden Regime, b) Generate new EO’s pre-prepared for Day One.
- Require every Department to complete an updated Audit that does NOT include ‘estimates’. The IRS doesn’t accept estimates – why should we. Department of State and USAID = full stop – they fund the Deep State NGO apparatus. According to the latest Financial Report issued by the Department of State FY2023– Net Assets are $78,000,000,000. Employees total 80,000. 2023 Revenue was reported as $84.5 billion – on expenses of $34.6 billion. Our Federal Government is NOT in the business of making a profit. If there are Net Assets, the agency does NOT need more funding.
The sub headings for the Department of State goals and expenses are as follows – (attributed to seven different sub-agencies):
- Renew U.S. leadership and mobilize coalitions to address the global challenges –
- Promote global prosperity and shape an international environment –
- Strengthen democratic institutions, uphold universal values, and promote human dignity –
- Revitalize the diplomatic and development workforce and institutions –
- Serve U.S. Citizens around the world and facilitate secure international travel –
- The U.S. Intelligence Community is a coalition of 18 agencies (having burgeoned from 7 as of 2020) and all of these organizations operate under the umbrella of the Director of National Intelligence, currently represented by Director, Avril Hanes. Hanes came from the CIA under Obama’s Regime. Haines has a Law degree – Prior to her appointment as deputy Director to the CIA, Haines had no experience in intel, espionage, criminal justice, criminal science, foreign affairs, technology or security – ALL listed as degree requirements to be an employee at the CIA. Note: (Deputy Directors are NOT subject to Senate confirmation).
However, prior to being tagged for the position of Director of National Intelligence by the Biden Handlers– she was an employee of Antony Blinken’s company, WestExec. In 2017, WestExec was formed to strategize against the Trump Presidency. In 2019, Teneo sold a majority stake of its company to CVC Partners based in Luxembourg. In 2022, Westexec sold a majority interest of its company to Teneo – aka CVC Partners. Teneo has extensive ties to the Clinton Family.
The call to shut down these INTEL agencies, in particular the CIA, was made 60 years ago by then President JF Kennedy. Every year they have expanded exponentially through mazes of onshore and offshore strategies to eliminate the need for transparency and accountability.
In the words of JFK – Shut Them Down! Disassociate government spending and recruit for a new National Guard with Border Power, protest power, and reinforcement for police to assist and arrest. Get the Criminals off the streets. IF blue state governors cry fowl – no more federal funding until they clean up their state.
Less than a decade ago there were roughly 70,000-80,000 NGO’s. Today there are 1.5 million and counting. Their purpose? Garner Taxpayer Funding, run America from the shadows, and pay no taxes! The perfect coup.
Our Congress is idle – they have no power – they are simpleton placeholders and do only what they are told. The World Economic Forum proposal of a stakeholder government by 2030 is a distraction – it already happened in 1963 and has successfully managed to keep us in War(s) ever since.
Peeling back everything that developed since is a daunting task. But if we do nothing we will reach a point of no return – FACT.
FYI: With the CDC, NIH and Health Agencies warning of the next Pandemic, ie Bird Flu, it is worth mentioning that these same agencies – have been in collaboration with the CCP/Wuhan to diligently find a way for this virus to be transmitted to Humans – with a 100% fatality rate.
“IF blue state governors cry fowl – no more federal funding until they clean up their state.”
I don’t like blackmail even for good reasons. There should be no federal funding for anything. Stop taking money from states and individuals. The government does not have a legitimate claim on any of it. I would think that you, above all people, should know this.
If you want states and cities to behave properly (and who doesn’t), then let the citizens of those states and cities exact the punishments and incentives to accomplish that goal.
a) Every “Law” is a form of blackmail. b) no funding = no government = no police = no fire department = no road work… etc. That would obviously be insanity. and you should know that c) see a) incentives make the world go round.
Taxation, which is how government gets its funding, is theft.
There are other ways for people to pay for the things they want that don’t involve theft. Are you one of those people who think that with no government there would be no roads? There are other ways besides sticking a gun in people’s faces that things get accomplished in a free society.
Yes, incentives – market incentives – make the world go around. Governmet provides no incentives. They only make threats. Big difference.
Spoken like a TRUE Anarcho-Capitalist! Could not agree more with you Antonio. People have been conditioned in the ‘Government School’ paradigm. The evidence is all around us while the results speak for themselves. Going from government failure to government failure (see Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine; Affirmative Action, Black Lives Matter, Diversity Equity & Inclusion; infrastructure, electric grid, natural environment, etc.) only begets more government failure. Rock on!
Thank you, vikingthunderbolt. Helena and I have had a lengthy debate offline and, needless to say, she does not agree with you or me.
I continue to be amazed that liberty is such a hard sell. People rightly rail against government abuses and the general failure of government, but can never take the final, logical, step of rejecting Statism altogether.
I have to conclude that this platform, despite its many good arguments and general point of view, is not friendly to libertarianism or anarchism.That’s fine. I have said my piece. It took many years of reading and thinking for me to finally reject Statism. For others, the road may be just as long. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Peace.
IF I am as you say then Lew Rockwell would not be publishing my blogs… Which further indicates you are simply an anarchist without a sword or a militia – just a guy with a shrewish tongue.
Please elaborate on those – other ways that have historical reference to their success
Would love to Helena; unfortunately, to reference my comment below, Anarcho-Capitalism is the ONLY solution NEVER unleashed. Which makes it NEW and DIFFERENT.
“If you do the same, you will receive the same. If you do the different, you will receive the different.” Vernon Howard
Isn’t it ASTONISHING? People will fight to preserve their PROVEN misery until the NEW and DIFFERENT is PROVEN superior. Doesn’t work that way folks. You must abandon the old and worthless WITHOUT KNOWING what the NEW and DIFFERENT is, then SOMETHING ELSE will APPROVE and then PROVE, not before. It is going into The Unknown with no intention of returning to the unworkable and worthless, suspended in Uncertainty, that the NEW and DIFFERENT will come to you and PROVE its superiority as self-evident. In other words, only those willing to RISK ALL the misery will REAP ALL the rewards. The superior is not for the Coddled Cowards. The superior is not for the Worthless Weasels. The superior is only for the Risk Renegades and NO OTHER.
The choice is YOURS and YOURS ALONE to make. Choose Wisely.
You have nothing to support a time in history wherein your anarchy could prevail within capitalism – By drawing in Lew Rockwell and Libertarianism, you fail to recognize they both support “Limited Government” – not the annihilation of government. Which would be akin to the dark Ages – didn’t work out so well…
But your non-attempt to reveal how this system of anarchy would be implemented is even more telling – because it shows you have no idea… You have only Quixote quest and a divisive tongue to replace debate.
Greetings Helena,
As I understand it, the “Constitutional Republic” implemented by the “Founding Fathers” established a “Limited Government” and how has THAT worked out?
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.” Lysander Spooner.
It is self-evident that government cannot be “limited” at any level. The evidence is all around you.
“I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.” H. L. Mencken
There is nothing to implement in an Anarcho-Capitalist system. You just ALLOW it. You are correct, I have NO IDEA exactly HOW it would work and neither does anyone else. It has NEVER been implemented throughout all of recorded history. That is what makes it GENUINELY NEW and AUTHENTICALLY DIFFERENT. I am certain if we keep believing government (at any level) can be “limited” we are only setting ourselves up for continued failure.
“Off goes the head of the king, and tyranny gives way to freedom. The change seems abysmal. Then, bit by bit, the face of freedom hardens, and by and by it is the old face of tyranny. Then another cycle, and another. But under the play of all these opposites there is something fundamental and permanent — the basic delusion that men may be governed and yet be free.” H. L. Mencken
“The man who prays to be “protected” by politicians, guarded by armed Janissaries [fourteenth century elite Turkish guard; ie “Navy SEALs”], saved by idolatrous priests, and redeemed by State Regimentation is indeed a miserable sinner — a vile, despicable, un-manly wretch.” Ragnar Redbeard
Oh, the reason the Middle Ages were so “dark” is because the Catholic Church ruled and plundered the “terrorized” population.
“The efficacy of religion lies precisely in what is not rational, philosophic or eternal; its efficacy lies in the unforeseen, the miraculous, the extraordinary. Thus religion attracts more devotion according as it demands more faith, — that is to say, as it becomes more incredible to the profane mind. The philosopher aspires to explain away all mysteries, to dissolve them into light. Mystery on the other hand is demanded and pursued by the religious instinct; mystery constitutes the essence of worship, the power of proselytism. When the “cross” became the “foolishness” of the cross, it took possession of the masses.” Henri Frédéric Amiel
Actually, my “Quixote quest” is a subtle way of revealing my sources to encourage your readers not to take my word for anything but to do their own research in order to verify for themselves an alternate path to the one we have worn out. If you prefer to argue, then you have the wrong man. We can simply to agree to disagree and go our separate ways. No problem.
The Fall of Rome, the Dark Ages were the only example of a nongovernmental system. It brought chaos and death. Yes the Church was corrupt and took advantage of an era of chaos. Which is to say our global population of 8 billion is 24 times what it was then. Obviously chaos would reign – it is human instinct.
Your summation has a great flaw – you assume all 8 billion will simply live with one spiritual mind. The intellectual capacity that you speak of is not remotely universally shared. The inherent psychology for the majority of humans is to be led. Military soldiers – for example. Farming requires a hierarchy or the crop spoils. I assume you want to eliminate teachers. You will have even greater schisms of intellect. That means the weak need a leader to follow.
The Minoans had a King – yet their society was as near perfect as can be determined – yet they were destroyed by barbaric marauders. They had no military – they were peaceful traders.
That is simply how it works – on this planet – with the human species as diverse as it is.
Chaos is NOT utopia. Our system doesn’t work – I agree on that basic principle. But without a ‘plan’ for your new society, it could easily be usurped by the Cartel of the WEF – just as the Catholic Church took advantage of the Dark Ages. “We will save you” – mantra. At the very least, the Church did establish a value system, albeit flawed I can do it but you can’t, there is simply no way to harness 8 billion people as one great chaotic free for all.
I prefer debate.
If you prefer to argue without listening – then well, this is MY SITE… My rules… If you are not capable of debate then you have simply proved my point. Chaos loses.
Beautiful, except maybe for that last quote.
I believe the “foolishness of the cross” is precisely what makes Christianity different from man-made religions. Every other religion has a prominent place for human contributions to their final state. They have to do something, perform rituals, to prove their worth.
Christianity, on the other hand, leaves no room for human accomplishment. It thoroughly destroys human pride, because we contribute absolutely nothing to our salvation, except our sin. That’s why the cross is, to those who are perishing, foolishness. That’s the way God intended it. He destroys man’s wisdom with His superior wisdom.
Aside from that quibble, I consider this a great response, especially the Spooner quote. It was his “No Treason” essays that really got me started on this intellectual journey, although Robert Ringer’s “Restoring the American Dream” was also a big early influence.
A reformed Christian anarchist? Yes, and there are plenty like me.
Peace.
Dear Helena,
I said I wouldn’t trouble you again, but this has to be responded to. I don’t know if this was in reply to me (I suspect it was) or to vikingthunderbolt, but I’m the only one I know of who brought Lew Rockwell and Libertarian-ism into the discussion, albeit, privately.
Lew Rockwell is a “limited government” guy, but not in the way you suggest. His motto is right there on his front page – anti-state, anti-war, pro-market. He is certainly for “limited government”, as are you and I, but says over and over again that the State cannot be the provider of limited government. It is simply not in its nature to do that.
Here is just one article where he defends anarchism as the ideal for a free society. And he gives some suggestions on how the anarchist society could be implemented. I think I could have found many, many more.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/11/lew-rockwell/can-anarcho-capitalism-work/
And, he provides a link to his book entitled, “Against the State”. Read that one, and then tell me he supports the idea of Statist limited government. Or read Rothbard’s, “Anatomy of the State”.
Maybe you’re misunderstanding what we mean when we say we are anti-government or anti-State. By those phrases we mean we are in opposition to a monopoly of law-making and initiation of force in a given geographical territory. We are not against law, properly understood. We are against organized crime. Lew Rockwell strongly implies just this in this pull quote from the article.
“The State is a monopolist of aggressive violence and a massive wealth-transfer mechanism, and it is doing precisely what is in its nature to do. The utopian dream of “limited government” cannot be realized, since government has no interest in remaining limited. A smaller version of what we have now, while preferable, cannot be a stable, long-term solution. So we need to conceive of how we could live without the State or its parasitism at all.”
How does this square with your contention that Lew Rockwell and Libertarians are not in favor of annihilation of government? He says so, right in the quote. Note carefully he uses the terms “State” and “government” interchangeably.
So, Lew Rockwell, and Libertarians, in general, do not support “limited government” if it is implemented by a State. I think you severely misunderstand their philosophy. If they had their choice, they would have no State at all. Period. End of debate.
If you choose not to publish this reply, I will understand. This is your site. But I will be very disappointed if you decline to publish this. My goal is not necessarily to convince you, but to give your readers another point of view to consider.
Of course, if you do choose to publish this, you may excise these last few sentences if you wish.
Peace.
We are currently WELL BEYOND the ‘point of no return’ – FACT. Just ask the Federal Reserve.
Bureaucracies NEVER ‘regulate’ themselves – IMPOSSIBLE!
“See the impossible AS impossible then the possible BECOMES possible. The reason people are frustrated is simply because a lie cannot be turned into a truth.” Vernon Howard
Viking: I believe I did mention a complete overhaul – there are 2 options
Respectfully disagree Helena,
The Constitutional Republic has declined into a ‘Representative’ Democracy and as we degenerate into chaos, it is time to move on from failure and institute Anarcho-Capitalism. The ONLY solution NEVER unleashed.
We are NOT a democracy! We have operated as a communist country for decades. The anarcho capitalist society you preach is actually central to the Agenda 2030 WEG – stakeholder ‘government’. NOT libertarian. The same stakeholders running our country into the ground – Purposefully – to extract every dime until we are genocided.
Dear Helena Glass,
I agree with everything you say in your article Peeling Back America’s Coup.
However, you do your readers and the American people an injustice by not revealing your sources of information. Tell us. There is an army of us who believe as you do and who are willing to act on those sources to accomplish the things you suggest.
It is only the people en masse who can overwhelm Congress and the bureaucracies. Nothing will happen without us. As individuals we are only a drop without power, as tens of millions of us we are a tidal wave and can overcome anything. We don’t need the entire population to be successful.
Few of us have the contacts you do, so please give us some leads and let us do our work along side you.
I am not – nor will not – reveal sources and I find it odd that you would ask…
FYI – your IP Address is apparently invalid.
Respectfully disagree Duane:
“There are nearly 330 million people in the United States. Only 3% of the population fought in the Revolutionary War, and 10% actively supported them. If 9,900,000 people quietly and peacefully revolted by withdrawing their consent to be governed by tyrants we could not be silenced. If 33,000,000 people supported those revolting, we could not be stopped.”
Daisy Luther
That is LESS THAN 50 million people out of a total of 330 million (not including those here illegally). The problem is WHERE are you going to find those 50 million INDIVIDUALS who are not coddled cowards and allow their actions to speak louder than words while QUIETLY walking away?
Oh, your request for sources makes me suspicious you are part of ‘THE SWAMP’ and I don’t blame Helena for not disclosing her sources FOR THEIR SAKE.
As long as we pay taxes, we will be abused. It is as simple as that.
Resist, refuse, revolt.
