From the moment our federal government was created, factions have been at work to convert our government from one of support for a free and self-determining society to a central agency of social control and forceful exploitation both at home and abroad.

As the anniversary of the founding of our country approached, the attempted secession of the Southern States provided the first opportunity to impose significant revisions to the Constitution and alter the purpose for the Federal government.

The close of the War Between the States was imposed by force of arms, without popular agreement and the seceeded states were reincorporated with the Northern states without popular consent. Under the armed coersion of martial rule and often application of martial law, the original Civil Rights Act and Reconstruction Acts were imposed, the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments adopted and an official presumption of national, supreme authority for the Federal government was assumed.

Although the Civil Rights Act was found unconstitutional, the extra-constitutional adoption of the 14th and fifteenth amendments brought about the intended effect, and additional, unanticipated effects. The factions who desire monolithic control of our government and society have exploited those unanticipated effects in the intervening period to bring about inconceivable, but actual changes to our governing with the effect of destroying our rights, liberty and means of self-governing.

From 1868 to 1911 the foundations of our government were incrementally revised from those generally understood at the conception of our new country to new perceptions of national government, created by force of arms, not popularity, whose purpose is more closely aligned to the purpose of other governments, and presuming the unlimited exercise of power as other governments also presume. From the time of the end of the Civil War, our laws and constitutional provisions have been perverted from "plain meaning" to "whatever meaning suits the people in government".

From 1912 to 1975 our former governments were dismantled and displaced by federalized substitutes, our rights undermined, our liberty defined and our control of government removed. During the last half-century, a very successful implementation of government control of individuals has been implemented and an efficient process to harvest the current and future product of our labor has been installed. The general population of our country is insensitive to these changes. The people of government, generally, are as insensitive to the most serious implications as is the civilian population, but they have been quick to perceive the new policy removing personal accountability in government and to exploit their new status.

One of the most difficult tasks I have taken on is to explain, in common and uncomplicated terms, why our common conceptions of government, liberty and rights as they are practiced in 2004 are ignorant, naieve and dangerous. Virtually every man or woman I meet believes they are free to own property of all kinds, to travel where they will, to participate in government, to raise their children, to call on the police and courts in defense of their rights and in general terms, to live a life of liberty and freedom. The most common comment when this view of liberty is questioned, is "Come on, Henry. This is the freest country in the world!". This supposition fails the reality test. They do not comprehend the consequences of the abandonment of the original purpose for the federal governnemt, nor do they appreciate their surrender of rights for the privileges and conveniences of cooperation with renegade government.
