A Lawless America

America is becoming a lawless land.  The downward spiral began at the top, as it always does, with the leadership of government and the human leadership in the church.  This descent began many years ago in subtle, deceptive ways.  The Federal Reserve was established; the tax code was changed to prevent non-profit organizations from being involved politically, so pastors and churches would keep silent for fear of man and fear of lost revenue; official prayers in public schools were outlawed; the war on poverty was declared; the dismemberment and murder of unborn babies was permitted; the Ten Commandments were outlawed in public schools; and in defiance of logic, same sex “marriage” is now promoted.

The Lord Jesus Christ established laws in the beginning (John 1:1-3).  He has set the standards on which America and other lands have based their laws.  Our trouble began when we turned away from God’s laws which are found in the scriptures of the Holy Bible, and when we turned away from the Constitution which is based on those same scriptures.  We are witnessing the results in the chaos and the crime that is manifesting across the country.

The establishment of the Federal Reserve marked one of the first major steps away from the rule of law toward the rule of lawlessness.  Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution authorizes Congress to coin money and regulate the value thereof.  With an unlawful act, Congress ceded this power away from itself to a private group known as the Federal Reserve.  What reason could there be, other than a lust for more riches and power, for a group of men who weren’t satisfied with the wealth that they already possessed, to seek control of the people’s wealth?  God tells us in 1Timothy 6:9-10, “But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.”  The Federal Reserve has plunged many into ruin, destruction, and untold negative consequences for generations.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was supposed to give stability to America’s economy.  However, only 16 years later on October 29, 1929, the Great Depression began affecting not only the United States, but also the world.  The depression continued into the 1940s, revealing to no avail the fallacy of the Federal Reserve and its feigned attempts to be an economic stabilizer.  By tampering with a natural market that can only correct itself through supply and demand, Congress and the Federal Reserve cabal proliferated poverty throughout the republic and the world.  Then the “progressives” did what they commonly do.  Instead of trashing the idea of a central banking system which obviously destabilized, or rather wrecked the economy, they offered solutions to the crises that they created.  With the nation desperate for relief, whatever hope offered was accepted.

The Franklin Roosevelt administration and other progressives offered an answer to the self-inflicted crises: the “New Deal” plan.  Under this plan, Congress allowed funding for the creation and operation of largely autonomous government agencies such as the Social Security Administration, the Federal Housing Administration, the Farm Credit Administration, the Works Progress Administration, and many others.  The New Deal greatly expanded the reach and power of the federal government, usurped state authority, and is still unconstitutionally taking vast amounts of the money of Americans.  Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution covers the limit of authority of the federal government, and these agencies do not fall within this limit.

Typical of liberals, or progressives, it is never enough.  In 1964 President Lyndon Johnson announced the “Great Society” and the “War on Poverty”, which led to even more unconstitutional spending of Americans’ money in addition to the cost of the New Deal.  Johnson and Congress bypassed the Constitution and usurped state authority by funneling tax dollars into such unauthorized areas as food stamps, schools, and Social Security.

Ten years before the declaration of war on poverty, Johnson and Congress smoothed the path before them by curtailing opposition from large segments of the population that would be most likely to balk at their usurpation of power.  The Johnson Amendment declared that tax exempt organizations such as churches could no longer endorse candidates for government office and remain tax exempt.  Church pastors and ministers spend much time studying and reflecting on issues relevant to the well-being of their congregations.  Therefore this threat of lost revenue has ever since, to a great extent, closed off information to a vast number of common sense voters who would otherwise be more informed on important matters affecting their lives and the lives of generations to come.

In 1962, two years before Johnson’s “Great Society” and “War on Poverty”, the Supreme Court led the nation in a rejection of God’s future blessings upon it in the Engel v. Vitale case.  In it, the court ruled that a simple prayer that acknowledged dependence upon almighty God and asked for His blessings was not to be promoted by public schools.  America’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence, acknowledges the Creator and that our rights come from Him, yet the Court ruled that He won’t be prayed to in our schools in any sanctioned fashion.  This is an obvious disconnect between the Court and the country’s foundation.  For that matter, the disconnect runs through all three branches of our government in their erroneous interpretation of the religious clause of the First Amendment.  If the whole counsel of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and writings of the Founders are taken, this clause obviously means to keep the government out of the church and applies only to Christianity.

According to the Declaration of Independence, one of the reasons governments are instituted is to protect life.  In the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade in 1973, the most innocent and defenseless sector of the public lost this protection.  Since the ruling in this case, our nation is responsible for an estimated amount of over 50 million infant deaths, and that number continues to grow while the criminals with the reins of government are allowed to keep their hold.

God’s ten basic rules to maintain societal and individual well-being were outlawed by the Supreme Court in 1980, accelerating lawlessness through elimination of any standard of right and wrong.  In Stone v. Graham, one point of argument for the majority was that the effect of posting copies of the Ten Commandments would “be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments.”  The numerous accounts of school shootings, illicit teacher/student relationships, discipline problems, sub-par education and poor grades since the law “experts” overruled God are confirmation of the value of the Ten Commandments in teaching right from wrong.

The wealth of the people is taken from them in excess taxes and is wasted in many unconstitutional ways: In 2008 George W. Bush and Congress illegally spent nearly a trillion of the citizens’ dollars to save financial institutions from failure.  In 2009 Congress and Barack Obama unlawfully spent nearly a trillion dollars of American’s money to supposedly stimulate the economy.  In 2010 Obama and Congress took over the nation’s health care by passing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).  The cost of this unlawful act is incalculable due to subsidies, varied premium increases, and other related costs affecting Americans.

Since the Federal Reserve, the New Deal, the Johnson Amendment, Engel v. Vitale, the War on Poverty, Roe v. Wade, and Stone v. Graham, the Constitution has become an optional guideline to liberals and many supposedly conservatives.  They usually only refer to it when it is needed to promote an agenda, and then often out of context.  For instance, freedom of speech as in the First Amendment is repeatedly cited to condone behavior such as the production of pornography, which is not speech at all, but is an activity that is extremely damaging to society; and the order to the president in Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution to faithfully execute the laws has been disobeyed by him in many ways, including failing to enforce immigration laws and marriage laws.  However, behavior that is in keeping with the Constitution but is contrary to the agenda of the liberal left is regarded by them as unacceptable and wrongly judged by them as unconstitutional.  Examples include the arrest of a clerk that refused to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple, and fines levied against others that declined to participate in same sex “weddings”; other examples include preventing states from enforcing immigration laws, and the impeding of states’ attempts to prevent voter fraud.

The Obama administration, Congress, and the Supreme Court have taken disregard of the Constitution to a whole new level: the passage of Obamacare; the passage of budgets that fund Planned Parenthood, an organization that has been proven to kill babies and sell their body parts; the allowance of millions of illegal aliens to come into and remain in the country; the placement of economy destroying restrictions on businesses within the energy sector and businesses in general; the allowance of homosexual “marriage”; the allowance of homosexuals and transvestites in the military; the forcing of the acceptance of homosexual behavior; the allowance of anyone to use the public bathroom, shower, or changing room of their choice, regardless of their sex; and the allowance of adherents to Islam, that are known to be enemies of the United States, to enter and remain in the country unchecked.  These are only a few of the unlawful acts of the federal government.

The unlawfulness that began with ignoring the Constitution through the establishment of the Federal Reserve, taking power from the people by giving control of their money and therefore control of the country to a few individuals with designs for the country contrary to God and the Constitution, has now spread like an epidemic through the land.  It is manifesting in cities with people rioting simply because of the enforcement of law.  Those at the highest levels of government and their loyal media incite these riots, calling them protests, which are based on false assumptions of racism, and proclaim erroneous information in an attempt to justify the actions of the rioters.  Unlawfulness leads to chaos.

More rights will fall if the left is not stopped.  The camel’s head got in the tent, the mile was taken when given an inch, and so we near the end of the ride down the slippery slope to communism in America and the world.  The federal financial infringement has now moved into the family, religious, and morality realm.  When money is allowed to be stolen from the people, the people’s focus on freedom and their ability to fight for it is sapped.  Many who would have the country return to its righteous and constitutional roots are preoccupied with providing for their families and lack the time to be involved in the fight for freedom.  Any extra time they might have for such activity is taken up earning enough to turn over to the bloated federal government so it can be wasted in about as many ways as can be imagined in the unnecessary and unconstitutional agencies concocted under the New Deal and the War on Poverty, and all the other unconstitutional expenditures.  We have a choice.  We can ignore what is going on or we can do our best to stop it.
