Constitutional Anniversary

Read the Wednesday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 9/12/2012 and the Thursday Morning Commentary for 9/13/2012

Eleven years after America’s most important document – the Declaration of Independence  - was signed, its second most important document – the Constitution – was forged; also, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…

…amended four years later with the Bill of Rights…

The Constitution’s preamble has become as ubiquitous as the “pledge of allegiance,” the “Star-Spangled Banner,” and the Gettysburg Address’s “four score and seven years ago”…

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

…which I recall learning when just a young boy…

Constitution Preamble – Schoolhouse Rock

At the time, I believed America was the world’s greatest nation – in every way, shape, and form.  That’s not to say it was true – as patriotism and PROPAGANDA tend to cloud one’s judgment – but inarguably, the U.S. had broken ground in countless, unique ways.  Of course, I was born in 1970 – less than a year before the REAL “shot heard ‘round the world,” described by Nixon’s as “protecting the dollar”…

Nixon Ends Bretton Woods International Monetary System

As I have grown up – and Nixon’s “shot” burgeoned into ALL-OUT WAR against the world’s citizens – we find America approaching the 225^th anniversary of the document responsible for outlining its laws; which in 2006, required 200,000 pages to list…

The Constitution’s 225^th Anniversary – September 17^th, 2012

It gives me great sadness to see our government recant its most inviolate rules – such as the founders’ prohibition against “unreasonable searches and seizures” – but NOTHING more so than the following…

No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

In my view, that sentence was the single most defining rule of the fledgling United States; empowering it – ABOVE ALL – to the greatness it achieved in the following two centuries.  However, once the gold standard was abandoned – and gold not only deserted, but demonized – America altered its course to the “path of least resistance”; HYPERINFLATION.  Millions of pages will be written on the rise and fall of the American empire; but if TRUTH be told, the epitaph of its greatness will start on September 17^th, 1787, and end August 15^th, 1971.
