Radical Roots.....
>>Frederick,
That's a very esoteric view of the problem. Perhaps looking at the roots of a problem is always the best way to find a solution.

Jeff:
Throughout history, if you look back at all the things mankind has created, the real solutions are always look "radical" in nature when they are first presented.
To even fathom that in this country the idea of "individual empowerment" may appear to some as "radical" should be cause for alarm.
Remember, there are gigantic vested interests that have locked into, protected, honed and surrounded these systems inside and just directly outside our government.
When we create anything that originally filters through the selfish perspective of our egos the classic reality is that there will be some that win and others that lose.
Why does this have to be the case? Because the nature of the very root of what was created - ie. this is "MY" ego, "MY" position and as long as "I" get enough people to support "ME" then "WE" will win. Period!!
If you want to get more complex than that, then fine. But, at the root of the creation of The Federal Reserve System this is in general how it started.
What's facinating is to see how much smoke, fire, mirrors, fear and duplicity when into creating this monster. And it's even more amazing to see how much smoke, fire, mirros, fear and duplicity that's needed to continue supporting it.
To actually think, much less understand:
1) that just a very select few individuals from around 300 families are at the "root" of the power that controls The Federal Reserve System;
2) that on a yearly basis this system essentailly legitimizes the power for these select few to write FREE BLANK CHECKS that are written against the power of a potential police state to tax the fruits of our labor;
3) that on a regular annual basis we wink, roll and look that other way while these same families assess a totally unrepresentative tax - in the form of inflation - that "devalues" - ie. which is a quaint way of saying "confiscates" - from 2-5% of our assets;
4) that there is absolutely NOTHING that these families are bringing to the table except quid pro quo political ties and macro social-cultural design theories of how the world "should be" from their point of view;
5) that this same economic power goes into supporting the same macro social-cultural design theories that have led to the creation and support - one or both - of the United Nations, other new/emerging political nation states, IMF, World Bank, WTO, NSA, CIA, FBI along with all the major world corporations that support the bidding of these programs;
6) that the economic power behind this system has - incredibly - worked to in some way actively support both sides of every major revolution, battle, war, world war or political fight that comes into the apex/funnel of these ego-fed pyramids;
Another facinating thing to understand is that one of the major architects behind this system actually was NOT one of members of the power banking families that are now stuck with having to ultimately be responsible for it's existence. For a clue as to who this is you can go to Washington, D.C. and find a building with the name of this fellow written memorialized in gratitude to what he did.
Go a bit further and you will discover that this same individual and his supporters were THE chief architects behind the entire NEW DEAL which FDR et. al. eventually adopted.
Mankind can create some crazy things. It's important not just to understand the roots, but more important to understand what real group stands to benefit from the act to delegitimitize this system through a hell/hail/smoke/fire and fear storm that will ultimately will roll down these slippery slopes.
Pointing the finger at anything that wrong as a solution is just the first step.
Making plans for the who/what/when/where/how and why behind the following steps is even more important.
Our country is seriously divided right now.
A very strong case can be made that there are problems within that deserve much, much more scrutiny to understand the REAL roots of what we are being influenced by, rather than all the bitter, divisive, political flame throwing and political ping ponging that continues to go on just below the surface and which ultimately rears a greater and growing ulgly head whenever it surfaces. And it seems this ugly head is surfacing with a growing and consistent regularity.
Look at the bigger picture. I'd recommend that everyone learn to climb trees. It's a wonderfully humbling experience. You not only get to "see" and "hear" things your never could see and hear before, but you get to smell the wind and the air and nature that's all around us. And you have to be humble while up there all excited about what you are experiencing or you will fall.
There's some incredible historical symbolism in what's happening in world politics right now. It's all part of this ONE grand mystery which none of us have all the answers to. But go and do your own homework and reasearch on Benjamin Harrison - who was one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, William Henry Harrison -the nineth President of the US - and his grandson Benjamin Harrison who was the 23rd President of the US.
William Henry Harrison was the man who rode his white horse along Pennsylvania Avenue one his way to making a 2 hour long inaugural speech which remains THE longest in history. Read what this man was trying to tell America. Harrison died in office just 30 days later and there've have been rumors of arsenic poisoning but the "official" reason has always been pneumonia which they say he developed while giving his inaugural speech.
Harrison's father was one of the original signers of The Declaration of Independence. A little known fact that has been vastly overlooked by historians is that - almost without exception - each and every one of the original signers of this document which formed THE basis of the principals of "freedom" which we have all come to know and love, were hounded, terrorized, defamed, ostracized and many, many lost everything they ever owned during subsequent years.
There IS a dark seed that remains in our world and it won't simply just "go away." This doesn't mean that we go buying guns and ammunition and stock our shelves with food. For that's exactly what these folks want people to do. For with this seed already planted firmly in the minds, hearts and souls of so many folks. In the end either 1) these guns are going to be taken away by a brutally armed government force or 2) there's going to be a war of some type or 3) people will simply all simply come together in the common light, energy and love that supports everything after we recognize the ridiculous lunacy of it all.
Now is not the time to simply roll over and assume everything is going to work itself out. For we are deep inside the vortex of this Black Hole right now. The battle lines are being drawn behind the scenes all over the world by folks that believe they "see" and "feel" there are enemies all around them.
It's time to roll up our sleeves and "get radical". What? How? By really truly believing we ALL possess the power to turn this thing around through empowered personal acts of CREATION which spread more light, energy, trust and LOVE into the world.
Here's some history about William Henry Harrison's grandson who became the 23rd President of the United States. 23 is a GREAT number. And there are so many wonderful, mystical signs we can read into this which are markers for all of us to take note. The great Michael Jordan here in this great town I live in is being ostracized by the powers that control the Chicago Bulls. So he had to go to Washington D.C. - the heart of this Black Hole - in an attempt to sow seeds of redemption. Mark my words, this act Michael Jordan is taking with the Washington D.C. Wizards are the seeds that will bring him back to Chicago once again to run the Chicago Bulls.
But back to Harrison, read what this fellow did.
"...Harrison supported the Reconstruction policies of the Radical Republicans."
Check out the history of the "Radical Republicans."
Go over the record of Lincoln one more time.
As the tree of freedom was growing in it's early years, our country was twisted unmercifully over the issue of FREEDOM as it related to slavery and the conditions of Blacks. Even though Lincoln freed the slaves, an incredible amount of "bending" took place during and immediately following the Civil War. If a tree were to grow, the wood that bends or jogs this straight street would be called "Lincolnwood." But the line of Harrison both at the very beginning with the father, closer before with the son and then much later with the grandson represented the truer seed of this energy that has backed the cause of true FREEDOM in this great nation of ours.
These two strains of understanding planted in spiritual seeds that go all the way back to those days are finally coming together and will have to resolve themselves in the end.
I'm confident that there's going to be a peaceful reawakening all across this great country of ours to the incredible historical significance of everything that went into creating this great country. And I'm not talking about "politically correct" revisionism. I'm talking about the many, many individuals who's fire, faith, believe, hope and radicalism over the believe in FREEDOM provided the spiritual seeds upon which the foundation of these country was created and does rest.
There's been a lot of incredible debasement of not only our history, but of these truly great, timeless, spiritual values and principals that were put down on paper "in the beginning" to support the birth of something that is still maturing, but could be in jeapordy if more INDIVIDUALS don't take these things seriously.
Here's some into on the "Harrison seed" and the Radical Republicans.
Would the "Bush seed" fall in line with the straight and true "Harrison seed" and the Radical Republicans??
Or is the "Bush seed" more in line with the bendable, pliable "Lincolnwood."
It will be very interesting to see how this all resolves itself. The pinging and ponging is going to continue so we will all be in a good position to observe and really "see" and "feel" the true interconnectedness of all these relationships that are part of these various strains of the Old creation that will ulimtately and transparently unravell as more light, energy and love is applied to all these New Acts of Creation going on around the world.
Please note, I voted for Bush for the strain of wood in the Bush tree simply radiated more of the light of freedom that the Gore/Clinton tree. George Bush has a clear choice: 1) He can either fall back into more of the complex and incredibly confused and muddled tree that emanated from "Linconwood", or 2) he can fall back to the straighter and truer Harrisonwood.
The real question: Is there any connection between "Compassionate Conservatism" of the Bush line and the "Radical Republicanism" of the Harrison line??
These two lines will have to resolve themselves.
And then there are those that simply want to chop down the tree and start all over. This is the assault from within that's been raging ever since these two strains split years ago.
Perhaps the resolution will come from the truth that was originally seen inside a "burning bush" years ago.
Peace.
GO!!

Harrison, Benjamin
Benjamin Harrison, photograph by George Prince, 1888.
b. Aug. 20, 1833, North Bend, Ohio, U.S.
d. March 13, 1901, Indianapolis, Ind.
23rd president of the United States (1889-93), a moderate Republican who won an electoral majority while losing the popular vote by more than 95,000 to Democrat Grover Cleveland. Harrison signed into law the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890), the first legislation to prohibit business combinations in restraint of trade.
Harrison was the son of John Scott Harrison, a farmer, and Elizabeth Irwin Harrison and grandson of the ninth president, William Henry Harrison (elected 1840). In 1852 he graduated with distinction from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and the following year he married Caroline Lavinia Scott, with whom he had two children. In 1854, after two years studying law, Harrison moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, to establish his own practice. Ignoring his father's contention that "none but knaves should ever enter the political arena," Harrison found in Indianapolis an inviting arena for his political ambitions, especially in the newly formed Republican Party. He served in the Civil War as an officer in the Union army, finally reaching the rank of brevet brigadier general. Resuming his law practice after the war, Harrison supported the Reconstruction policies of the Radical Republicans. He failed to win the governorship of Indiana in 1876, but in 1881 he was elected to the United States Senate. As senator, Harrison defended the interests of homesteaders and Native Americans against the railroads, supported generous pensions for ex-soldiers, and fought for civil-service reform and a moderately protective tariff.

Radical Republican
during and after the American Civil War, a member of the Republican Party committed to emancipation of the slaves and later to the equal treatment and enfranchisement of the freed blacks.
The Republican Party at its formation during the 1850s was a coalition of Northern altruists, industrialists, former Whigs, practical politicians, etc. While not publicly committed to abolition of slavery prior to the Civil War, the party nonetheless attracted the most zealous antislavery advocates. While Abraham Lincoln declared restoration of the Union to be his aim during the Civil War, the antislavery advocates in Congress pressed for emancipation as a stated war aim as well.
In December 1861, frustrated at the poor showing of the Union Army and the lack of progress toward emancipation, the Radicals formed the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. They agitated for the dismissal of General George B. McClellan, and they favoured the enlistment of black troops. Angry at Lincoln for his reluctance to move toward speedy abolition, they broke with him completely over Reconstruction policy.
As certain areas of the South fell under Federal military control in the course of the war, Lincoln embarked upon a process of lenient Reconstruction under presidential control. Only the most prominent Confederates were excluded from participating in the restored state governments under Lincoln's plan, and just 10 percent of a state's 1860 electorate was required to take a loyalty oath before Lincoln would recognize the state government they established as lawful. The Radicals countered Lincoln's "Ten Percent Plan" in 1864 with the Wade-Davis Bill, which required a majority of the electorate to take the loyalty oath and excluded far more former Confederates from participation in the restored governments. Lincoln pocket-vetoed the Wade-Davis Bill, which angered the Radicals and launched them on a short-lived drive to deny Lincoln renomination.
After Lincoln's assassination, the Radicals at first welcomed Andrew Johnson as president. But Johnson quickly indicated his intention to pursue Lincoln's lenient Reconstruction policies. The Radicals turned on him, formed the Joint Committee of Fifteen to assure congressional rather than presidential control of Reconstruction, and passed a number of measures for the protection of Southern blacks over Johnson's veto.
Johnson attempted to break the Radicals' power by uniting all moderates and by going on an extensive speaking tour during the 1866 congressional elections. But the strategy failed, and the Radicals won a resounding victory. They then showed their displeasure with Johnson by passing the Tenure of Office Act, restricting the president's ability to remove civil officers. When Johnson proceeded to remove his secretary of war in violation of the Tenure of Office Act, the House of Representatives voted to impeach him, and the Senate failed by just one vote to remove him from office.
The Radical Republicans' most important measures were contained in the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 and 1868, which placed the Southern states under military government and required universal manhood suffrage. Despite the Radical program, however, white control over Southern state governments was gradually restored. Such terrorist organizations as the Ku Klux Klan and Knights of the White Camelia were successful in frightening blacks away from the polls, and zeal for continued military occupation of the South waned in the North. By 1877 Reconstruction was at an end.
Radical Republicans never really existed as a cohesive group. They were united only by their common commitment to emancipation and racial justice. On other issues--such as hard/soft money, labour reform, and protectionism--they were often divided. Radical leaders included Henry Winter Davis, Thaddeus Stevens, and Benjamin Butler in the House; and Charles Sumner, Benjamin Wade, and Zachariah Chandler in the Senate.
