The government of the United States of American has been overthrown from within. Many great leaders throughout our history warned us about this eventuality. Following are quotes from these people where they advise us of what we should be watchful for to maintain our independence and freedom. Unfortunately, their words have fallen upon deaf ears.

**********

"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." - Thomas Jefferson

In 1913, Amendment XVII was ratified and this amendment served to consolidated the political power of the nation into Washington, D.C.

"Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free". - Alexander Hamilton

The Patriotic act was wrongfully touted as being necessary to fight terrorism, but instead institutionalized tyranny in this Nation and freed our President to tyrannize the rest of the world.

"The deterioration of a government begins almost always by the decay of its principles." - Montesquieu, in De l'Esprit

Presently, all the principles that used to apply to our government are dysfunctional. We now have a government where anything goes. They call it “democracy” but the truth is our leaders not only decide what is best for us, but they also decide what we will think is best for us.

"It is a Newtonian principle of politics that a government bent upon tyranny will continue that course until it is forced to change direction. Official lies are the propellant that drives the engine of tyranny, and unless Americans demand accountability from our rulers, they will never stop lying." - William Norman Grigg

Those who lead us break their oath of office the moment it is taken and lying is an established policy of our government. As a result, tyranny has been institutionalized by both Congress and our Supreme Court.

"A hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man's business; the eye of the federal inspector will be in every man's counting house . . . The law will of necessity have inquisical features, it will provide penalties, and it will create complicated machinery. Under it, men will be hauled into courts distant from their homes. Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the taxpayer. An army of federal inspectors, spies, and detectives will descend upon the state." - Virginia House Speaker Richard E. Byrd, 1910, predicting what would happen if a federal income tax became law.

The federal income tax never became law and was wrongfully established by our government by stealth and fiat. There is no law that requires Americans to file an income tax return and pay income taxes.

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself." - Thomas Jefferson

Almost every important thing our government does today is based upon lies and deception.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - George Washington

Our government is no longer our servant and truly has become our master.

"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great legislator of the Universe." - John Adams

Our government has taken away our inalienable rights. Presently, we have no God given rights and only enjoy rights at the discretion of our government.

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." - Ayn Rand

We have arrived at the stage of ultimate inversion some time ago.

"If we were merely dealing with the law of averages, half the events dealing with our nation's well-being should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere incompetence, our leaders should occasionally make a mistake in our favor. We are not dealing with coincidence or stupidity, but with planning and brilliance." - Gary Allen

"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties." - Abraham Lincoln

Our Constitution is presently a worthless and dysfunctional document and has been intentionally rendered so by our three branches of government.

"If it is wrong for you to take money from someone else who earned it, to take their money by force for your own needs, then it is certainly just as wrong for you to demand that the government step forward and do this dirty work for you." - Neal Boortz

"Good intention will always be pleaded for every assumption of power. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

"We recognize the new order in the world . . . . But America, our America, the America built on the foundation laid by the inspired fathers, can be a party to no permanent alliance. Every commitment must be made in the exercise of our national sovereignty. Since freedom impelled, and independence inspired, and nationality exalted, a world super government is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity. It is not aloofness, it is security. It is not suspicion of others; it is patriotic adherence to the things which made us what we are." - President Warren Harding

America is now ruled by the New World Order. President Bush and the last several presidents we had are card carrying members of the international organizations that comprise the leadership of the New World Order. There loyalties and allegiance are to them and not us.

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government." - James Madison

With the demise of our Republic, self-government no longer exists in the world.

"It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for it they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford

Our banking and monetary system are controlled by private interests who used the wealth and power this gave them to establish the New World Order.

"The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe; the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - President John F. Kennedy

"In politics nothing happens by accident. If it happens, it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

The America (Republic) of which Abraham Lincoln spoke no longer exists.

"If we were merely dealing with the law of averages, half of the events affecting our nation's well-being should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere incompetence, our leaders should occasionally make a mistake in our favor. But we are not really dealing with coincidence or stupidity. We are dealing with planning and brilliance." - Gary Allen

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." - John Quincy Adams

"A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist only until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a Democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a Dictatorship." - Professor Alexander Tyler

"To entrust the government with the power of determining the education which our children receive is entrusting our servant with the power to be our master." - David Nasaw

"And when with the passage of time a nation's spiritual ideal is sapped, that nation falls, together with all its civil statutes and ideals." - Dostoyevsky

"You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased nor how you are to become a great and powerful people but how your liberties may be secured, for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government." - Patrick Henry

The only thing that drives the New World Order is trade, greed, and the lust for power.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson

Private banks have controlled the issuance of our money since passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.

"Freedom and democracy are not synonymous. In most of the world, the term democracy means the right for citizens to participate in the process of government. It is a right granted by the government, and controlled by the government, and if exercised improperly, it is denied by the government. Freedom, on the other hand, is the God-given right to govern one's self." - Henry Lamb

Americans no longer govern themselves, instead, we are ruled by dictators.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." - Josef Stalin

"In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

"Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence." - US Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark

Our government pays lip service to our Constitution only when convenient and Bill Clinton and George Bush have established that United State’s Presidents are above the law.

"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." - Thomas Jefferson

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence clamorous to be led to safety by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." - H.L. Mencken

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent." - Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis

"The man who speaks to you of sacrifice speaks of slaves and masters, and intends to be master." - Ayn Rand

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom; go from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!" - Samuel Adams

"To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." - Thomas Jefferson

The actual public debt of an American citizen is approaching $200,000 and growing daily by leaps and bounds.

"The germ of destruction of our nation is in the power of the judiciary, an irresponsible body - working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall render powerless the checks of one branch over the other and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." - Thomas Jefferson

The Supreme Court of this Nation has acted in violation of our Constitution for the sole purpose of ensuring that the other branches of our government can also.

"The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government." - Tacitus (100 AD)

"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe that they are free." - Von Goethe

"No prosperity and no glory can save a nation that is rotten at heart." - Theodore Roosevelt
