To Preserve…

Their heroes were the Common Sense Father of the American Revolution, Thomas Pain(e) (These are the times that try men’s souls) and Liberty and Property populist Member of Parliament John Wilkes.

Wilkes was a member of the Hellfire Club with the Earl of Sandwich.

Wilkes was known as the ugliest man in England. He taught a baboon the secret rituals of the club, also known as Medmenham Monks, also known as the Knights of St Francis of Wycombe. Benjamin Franklin was rumoured to have attended the club, perhaps to spy on British Aristocracy.

The rallying point of the Sons of Liberty was the Liberty Tree, now compared to the Internet.

The Sons of Liberty tarred and feathered publican tax-collectors and refused to pay taxes. They destroyed British property, including military armories, garrisons and ships.

After meeting stiff resistance, the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.

King George, the Prime Minister and Bank of England agents quickly levied the Townsend Acts beginning in 1767, another tax by any other name.

The Townsend Acts increased British occupying military forces in colonial America, deployed troops on the HMS Romney and empowered search and seizure without specific warrants.

Some see serious parallels today with American occupations in 1000 plus US bases around the world.

    Holy Smokes Rich….
    Now that was a handful.
    This article should be published in the NY Times.
    Certainly we are seeing a ground swell in this country stirred by an irate citizenry.
    Perhaps it is not to late to take our country back.
    God have Mercy.
    Keep up the good work Rich, you are a true Patriot.
    Thank you. Richard

    Mahalo Richard:

    Henry Paulson acknowledged 93% of Americans opposed TARP and he did it anyway, bailing out himself and his firm Goldman Sachs with Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner’s help.

    No wonder the majority of Americans want a full Audit of the Fed and Treasury, including the Mints and Bullion Vaults.

    If we:

    A) turn off government monopoly media making heroes out of bums,
    B) share the truth which sets us free,
    C) help family friends and neighbors vote for Patriotic Constitutional Independents who truly serve US this Fall,

    then we may in fact take our country back from bonus banksters and their government corporate welfare pimps.

    The alternative is watching the Jericho Wall of debt crush our country and lives like Financial Armageddon.

    Uncle Sam owes more than we own. That cannot last much longer.

    We must pay down or forgive our debts with a spending freeze on deficits and earmarks and the 1% Transaction Tax on a quadrillion in voluntary transactions.

    Andrew Jackson paid off the public debt in 1835. So can we…

    Rich,

    Like the website and all, but a reader needs to click 22 separate times simply to read the content of this entry. Perhaps a different format would be better?

    Cheers.
