America's Leaders Have Failed Us All

America's leaders at all levels of government have violated their sacred oaths of office in failing to uphold and defend the United States Constitution, “the supreme Law of the Land” (U.S. Constitution, Article VI, paragraph II). This has been done under the pretext of peace and safety. The framers of our Constitution established a separation of powers to further protect the people from possible government abuse of power. George Washington warned his nation in 1796 against the usurpation of power by one department of government over another. Washington said in his farewell address the following. “It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free country, should inspire caution in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the power of one department, to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks, in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the guardian of public weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes.” (A Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, L. Carroll Judson, 1839, p. 319). George Washington also warned the people of the United States against “the insidious wiles of foreign influence”. He said, “As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils? Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.” Washington believed that America should have “as little political connection as possible” with foreign nations. Washington said, “The unity of government which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence;... But as it is easy to foresee, that from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed” (A Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, L. Carroll Judson, 1839, pp. 315, 321, 322). From the highest to the lowest levels of government, America's leaders have sold out their communities and their nation to the interests of foreign governments, world bankers and other foreign entities. Noah Webster defines treason as “the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power.... In the United States, treason is confined to the actual levying of war against the United States, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” (American Dictionary of The English Language, 1828). Are the actions of our leaders not treasonous? Leaders who are willing to turn over U.S. sovereignty to foreign powers? Leaders who are willing to allow private U.S. citizens to be tried and convicted in the wicked tribunal of the “World Court”? Leaders who are passing unconstitutional “hate crime” legislation destroying our freedoms? Leaders who have “hijacked the role of our Grand Jury and the courtroom jury and, henceforth, embarked on a mission of misinformation, distortions, and blatant lies to convince the American people, and the entire legal community, that it is the government that determines what is right and what is wrong” ? ("Runaway" Grand Juries vs. The Runaway State, Mark S. McGrew). Most of America's elected, hired and appointed officials have sold out their country for personal gain. As Patrick Henry said, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price

of chains and slavery?” Will patriotic Americans sit idly while our elected and appointed officials destroy our Constitution? Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, “Day by day, case by case, the Supreme Court is busy designing a Constitution for a country I do not recognize.” Will we allow Congress to continue to pass unconstitutional laws, such as “hate crime” laws, and revert back to the dark ages when it was a criminal offense, punishable by excommunication or death, to even utter a word that was not in conformity with the ruling political/religious hierarchy? Patrick Henry said, “I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.” (A Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, 1839, p. 308). When Nero, Marcus Aurelius, Diocletion, the Saxons, the Danes, the Normans, Kings Henry the IV, V, and VIII, and Queen (Bloody) Mary, who were among the many Roman emperors, English monarchs and others that destroyed scriptures made from the time of the apostles, the charge against Christians and their scriptures was odio humani generis, Latin for ‘hate crimes’ (lit. hatred of the human race). There is an agenda behind “hate crime” laws. Hate-crime legislation is an attempt at thought control. It is another tool in the arsenal of the ruling elite to divide and conquer the nations and peoples of the world. It is one more nail in the coffin to bury our freedoms – freedom of thought, of conscience, of religion and of speech. Thanks to unconstitutional “hate crime” laws in our once free and enlightened nation, simple civil offenses are now considered felony crimes. A time of “gross darkness” is enveloping the earth (Jer. 13:16; Joel 2:2; Zeph. 1:15). Poet George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” (The Life of Reason, George Santayana, 1917, p. 284). The nineteenth century Constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story said, “This constitution of government, must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain that statesmen shall form plans of government in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built upon solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidated its walls or crumble its massy supporters into dust, if the assaults from without are never resisted and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of a people when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple when the watchmen sleep at their post? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor and have built the prisons or dug the graves of their own friends ? This dark picture, it is to be hoped, will never be applicable to the republic of America. And yet it affords a warning, which, like all the lessons of past experience, we are not permitted to disregard.”(Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, 1864, p. 269) In his famous speech at Richmond, Virginia, March 23, 1775, American patriot Patrick Henry said, “This is no time for ceremony. The question before the house is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.”(American Patriotism: Speeches, Letters, and Other Papers, 1880, p. 108) In 1851 The Family Christian Almanac stated: “If truth be not diffused, error will be; if God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy.” (The Family Christian Almanac for the United States, 1851, p. 34). Daniel Webster stated that “If we and our posterity shall be true to the Christian religion, —if we and they shall live always in the fear of God and shall respect his commandments,... —we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country;... But if we and our

posterity neglect religious instruction and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us that shall bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”(Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, 1864, p. 270). Alexis De Tocqueville, the French political philosopher who recognized America's source of liberty and greatness wrote, “...not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflamed with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” Historian Charles A. Goodrich said in 1830, “Thus it is evident that wickedness and infidelity are certainly, though sometimes slowly, punished by Him who is just, although merciful: and if he has hitherto graciously refrained from visiting the sins of this nation with the punishment which they deserve, let us not be vain of that exemption: let us not attribute it to any merit of our own; but rather let it afford an additional motive to our gratitude and praise; let us unfeignedly thank him for his tender mercies daily vouchsafed to us;” (Book Of Martyrs, 1830, pages 66-67). Our U.S. house of representatives summed it up well in a resolve passed in 1854: “The great and vital element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and divine truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Daniel Webster said in a speech on June 3, 1834, “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” (Speeches and Forensic Arguments, Daniel Webster, Vol. II, p. 363).
