This once great nation started its journey without any real government oversight. The government of King George III in England was far removed from the day-to-day routines of the American colonists. The piddling taxes imposed by England were downright laughable when compared to today.
Our freedom was far greater under King George than President George. The American colonies fought for independence driven by the rage of exclusion from government processes. Correctly interpreted asminor trends in taxation indicative of ever-expanding and increasingly burdensome taxes yet to come, “representation” was the panacea for those being taxed. Being viewed as only cash cows angered the colonists; but at no time did our King’s taxes ever exceed even two percent of earnings. Compare that to the 50 percent today!
Correctly fearing and anticipating such tyranny at the hands of the artificially created being and monster that is government, our nation began as a limited-government constitutional republic. The intent of our Founders was to make each individual citizen in the population superior to the central government. And to ensure this hierarchy of authority, the anti-Federalists clearly spelled it out in our Bill of Rights.
But big government liberalism has manipulated us progressively to a nation where the people and its government first became equal partners in the form of democracy, and now to where we are an oligarchic plutocracy – a nation ruled by a few rich men. Columnist Charley Reese once identified these behind-the-scenes rich men as numbering about 7,000 individuals. These “Magnificent Seven” are, for the most part, rich former capitalists like Ted Turner, who unlike him, do not desire coming forward and proclaiming themselves socialists as he has. They embrace socialism for all of us because it is the easiest form of government philosophy that they can control to protect their wealth and power.
These Magnificent Seven thousand behind-the-scenes controllers ride herd over our political processes by giving huge and astonishing amounts of cash to politicians, political campaigns, activist groups, or by the outright control over media outlets to form public opinion. Ted Turner founded CNN, and we all know how pro-socialist and anti-American they are. Billionaire capitalist Andrew McKelvey has spent millions on advertising to advance the continuing control over Americans by their government via a radio ad campaign to abolish firearms ownership, the latter prohibited in any form by the Second Amendment. He can buy politicians like Chuck Schumer such that the Senator can boldly remark: “The Second Amendment is a myth.”
McKelvey’s “front” is “Americans for Gun Safety,” a gun control activist group with no members. How do they compare with the National Rifle Association? They are much, much more powerful than the NRA. They’ve got McKelvey’s billions backing them, whereas the NRA depends on $35 annual membership fees from its four million grass roots constituents. This illustrates the inefficacy of the American people when compared to the rich and powerful.
These controllers, who I refer to as the “Magnificent Seven,” continue to pull the strings by purchasing politicians and manipulating public opinion by their control of the mainstream establishment media. Campaign finance reform is, therefore, just so much legalistic fraud and bunk. So is the judicially activated fraudulent legalistics that offer that the Second Amendment applies to only groups such as the National Guard. That is a double-edged attempt to abolish both the individual citizen’s right to firearms as well as to render illegitimate groups of citizens individually armed who are correctly termed as “militia.” The latter is the most horrendously frightening concept that can be envisioned by liberals and the Magnificent Seven.
Voting doesn’t frighten America’s oligarchic, plutocratic Magnificent Seven and their liberal big government “useful idiots.” It has no effect. America is a cash business, and America is for sale to the highest bidder. We are less in control of our own government than was ever the case when we were English subjects under King George.
