In pre-Revolutionary England there were two distinct classes of people: nobles and commoners.

The nobles - earls, barons, princes, regents, etc. - comprised the aristocracy. These were the people who made the laws, administered the government, held positions in the Houses of Parliament or Royal Court, etc. The nobility were the only people allowed to own land. They were an elite class of people who were afforded special privileges and immunities.

I weep for what once was; for the vaunted achievements of intelligent and passionate men; for the blood shed and sacrifices made by those committed to the principles of freedom and self-determination; for the broken dreams of countless generations. I weep for the hope of a free country. I weep for America.

After managing an organization dedicated to truth and freedom, authoring three books, broadcasting for over a 20 years, and conducting more than 100 seminars, I have come to the general conclusion that four-fifths of the population are bovine or ovine (that’s cattle or sheep for the etymologically challenged). I call this conclusion The 80% Factor.

In Washington, D.C., the seat of government and the heart of corruption and tyranny in the Fascist Police States of Amerika, there is one principle overshadowing everything else that happens in politics. Newcomers to the political scene learn to apply this principle before anything else. Elected or appointed officeholders, attorneys, law enforcement officials, bureaucrats at every level of government find out that if you want to survive in politics, you must adhere to this single, primary principle… plausible deniability.

All laws fit into one of two classifications: laws that prohibit or laws that compel. Prohibitive laws tell you what you cannot do with someone else’s person or property. Compulsory laws tell you what you must do with your own person or property. Understanding these two different types of law is vital to a complete understanding of the general validity (or lack) of a given law.

Recently, I was taking a walk with a friend of mine, who upon noticing various pieces of trash - empty beer cans, food wrappers, etc. - commented that “humans are pigs”.

This got me to thinking. It occurred to me that humans are perhaps more like dogs than pigs, and values are their leashes.

Do you obey the law? Are you a law-abiding Citizen, who respects law and order?

Don’t be so quick with your “yes” answer because frankly, I don’t believe you! That’s right! I believe you break the law all the time!

It has become accepted as a necessary function of our government: Homeland Security. The massive Department of Homeland Security, created by an Act of Congress, has already attracted countless lobbyists, all vying for billions of dollars in DHS appropriations. (By the way, did you know that Homeland Security was supposed to cost nothing; it was supposed to simply be a reorganization of already existing budgets? So much for government promises).

Have you ever seen one of those television commercials for the Army? "Be all that you can be." "An army of one." Or those really interesting, effect-laden ads for the Marines? "Maybe you could be one of us. The few, the proud the Marines."

The American revolution was a remarkable event. Against the might of the British monarchy and her minions of well-trained troops, a small, rag-tag, untrained corps of citizen-soldiers wrested control of the colonies from subjection to the king. Such an amazing accomplishment required amazing men; men of character and principle, men of morals and values; men who could distinguish between right and wrong, without an order from the king.
