Supreme court chief justice John Marshall (1819) wrote:

“The power to tax is the power to destroy; in that the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create;…”.

The tax-limiting effects of Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution seemingly were nullified with passage of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913. It must be understood that authority is never neutral and magistrates will base their power on something.

When you have the government and the Department of Justice drop its investigation of AIG on May 22, 2010, you know the fix is in and they are not out to protect the citizen, but the guys like Geither, who called the AIG bail out essential——along with Paulson, Bernecke and the boys in the smoked filled room—-they put the fix together.

I would like to point out just a few common sense type thoughts that pertain to the problem. The citizens have the right to be concerned even when not understanding the workings of the Golden Sachs and the FED. They understand the fact that more debt is not the answer and that they took it on the chin with these bail outs—-to the tune of Trillions $$$$.

My points:
1/ The financial crisis is the largest in the history of the world, thereby telling you that you are in un-chartered financial waters with no historical understanding of what we can expect and that is scary.
2/ The magnitude of debt on a global bases is such that if the economy truly goes south to the extent it starts the snow ball down the side of the mountain it will drag in all the country’s. These elements and that event is not too hard to imagine happening as a series of events pulls all country’s into the avalanche of economic disasters—bankruptcy and debt the main culprit through risk taking that bordered on greed and power the likes of which have not been seen in history.
3/ If in fact the economy goes south to the extent 1 & 2 suggest, it would not be to difficult to believe (not knowing any of the details) that the confidence in the all mighty dollar will vanish and inflationary forces could and would come on in full force. The indicators (Silver & Gold) are already showing the break in confidence of the dollar as both silver and gold rise in price. The market place with it’s wheeling and dealing—-with the likes of JP Morgan is having a harder time in suppressing the price of silver and gold. There will come a time (shortly) when the reality of the situation will be exposed. Ted Butler (the silver guru) has been for years trying to expose J. P. Morgan and their market manipulation of the silver market—-IE: holding the price down.
4/ Following the so called leaders of the political party has proven ease to make happen as we saw in the last presidential election; therefore the panic will certainly be understandable as musical chairs begin and all financial exists are barred and/or closed down with the selling off of anything of value.
5/ Civil unrest will be the indicator close to complete break down and will show that the citizens have gone past the loss of confidence and on to the next phase of loosing confidence in not only the dollar but government and the social fabric. Understanding how it works will have nothing to do with the rioting—-only the fact that nothing is working will be enough to set things in motion.
6/ The spreading of the disease (economic disaster) will be quick and deadly as the Black death in Europe centuries ago. It can only makes sense if you think and understand that we already have the disease and we are only waiting to see the manifestation of it—-with the final results—-death to the social fabric.

Lest you think me crazy in suggesting we are sick with a terminal illness, let me explain. Most people refuse to place a connection between God and state but hold them as having no connection at all. This was the beginning of serious deterioration in society, no one noticed. The church was comfortable and lacked Biblical grounding so they were only to glad to go along not saying one word of protest that mattered. Culture started to fall apart, the church supplied no politician with solid Biblical grounding. Government became full of anything but Godly magistrates as Romans 13:1-7 demanded. As it turns out, government became nothing more than a rallying point for the greedy and power hungry folks working the system and no one noticed. The vicious spiral downward started and no one noticed. Year after year it continued downward until we come to today.

My point; the economy and money is the last thing that is holding us together, when that snaps there will be, no God, no Culture, no politician, no leader, no church, no money there to hold anything together.

WE SHALL SEE—-don’t you think?????
