THEY’RE KILLING OUR BUFFALO

Following the deliberate and calculated destruction of vast herds of buffalo until only 300 remained in the wild, Gen. Philip Sheridan is quoted to have said: “We took away their country and their means of support, broke up their mode of living, their habits of life, introduced disease and decay among them, and it was for this and against this they made war. Could any one expect less? Then, why wonder at Indian difficulties?” . 

“Why wonder” indeed.  The strategy is tried and true.  An axiom as well established as any advanced by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War”, and it is being leveraged today against America, against the descendants of those who killed the buffalo as a strategy of war against the Plains Indians.

Hundreds of millions of buffalo roaming free across the plains of North America made it possible for the Plains Indians to remain a sovereign people.  Wealth, measured in terms of product, enables any people to achieve self determination.  The utilization of abundant natural resources translates into economic independence, making infrastructure possible.  It allows for a strong national defense, social development and thriving commerce.  Once the structural wall of wealth is removed from a nation, trade becomes imbalanced making commercial failure inevitable.  Economic collapse leads to military vulnerability and the ultimate loss of sovereignty.

Right here in America they’re killing our buffalo right in front of our eyes in order to defeat us.  The difference is, the Indians saw the rotting carcasses of actual buffalo piled up alongside railroad tracks.  Today a compromised public education system has rendered Americans unable to detect the treason.  Lulled into complacency by smart phones, Kardashians and Chinese-made beads & baubles, an anesthetized public doesn’t realize we’ve sold Manhattan.  But our dead and dying buffalo are piled up in heaps across the landscape of America none the less. 

How has this been accomplished?

There are two sectors in the American economy.  The “pubic sector” includes all those whose paycheck comes from taxes and debt.  The “private sector” pays the taxes and repays the national debt. 

The “private sector” turns timber into lumber and lumber into homes, Iron ore into steel and steel into cars, cultivates land, plants crops and delivers these products of labor to market.  The private sector manufactures, farms, ranches, builds, produces and creates wealth.

The “public sector” threatens those in the private sector with fines, imprisonment and legal costs if they don’t give them the money to buy the guns they threaten them with, build the prisons they punish them with and finance the judicial system enforcing the regulations they’ve devised against them to plunder the wealth they create.

If truth in advertising were enforced these two sectors would be more accurately termed the “product sector” and the “plunder sector”.

In 1913 the “plunder sector” authorized a cartel of private banks to “create” money.  Even though they are not federal and have no reserves, this cartel is known as the federal reserve.  When money is “created” it is not earned and it does not come from an existing reserve.  When money is “created”, it’s like one child saying to another “Let’s pretend”. 

According to article I, section 8, clause 5 of the Constitution, “The Congress shall have Power To…coin Money, regulate the Value thereof,”

On April 2, 1792, Congress passed 31 U.S.C. 5112(e), enacted September 13, 1982, this contains the most accurate definition of a dollar coin, which by statute must contain .999 ounce fine silver. 

To be in compliance with this statute, every “dollar” must be redeemable for one ounce of fine silver.  Dollar bills created prior to 1964 had a redemption clause on their face and they were redeemable for silver.  Now your dollar bills simply say “Federal Reserve Note”.  A “note” is a note of debt.  Every day you pay for goods and services with non-redeemable notes of debt drawn on a foreign bank.  Next time you find yourself at a check stand in a store, tell the cashier you have no money and ask if she will accept ‘non-redeemable notes of debt drawn on a foreign bank’ just to see what she says.

“Conversion” is a crime when committed by those in the product sector. A person who knowingly or intentionally exerts unauthorized control over the property of another commits criminal conversion.

The majority of the wealth created by the “product sector” is quietly undergoing the process of “conversion” to the “plunder sector” through the creation of money by the federal reserve.

The Cloward-Pivin Strategy, first proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, is a strategy designed to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”

On average government employees make twice what private sector workers make.  It actually requires more government employees to administer the welfare agencies and departments than there are people receiving welfare.  There are more government employees overseeing farm subsidies than there are farmers.  “Obamacare” requires more government employees to administer the complex array of regulations, restrictions, entitlements and penalties than there are people receiving entitlements from it.  Today there are more Americans plundering producers than there are producers producing. 

Shortly following the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 America became engaged in World War 1.  Since World War 2 America has been involved in an endless procession of wars and police actions declared and undeclared.  In a book entitled Creature From Jekyll Island, author G. Edward Griffin opined that “As long as the mechanism of central banking exists, it will be to such men an irresistible temptation to convert debt into Perpetual war and war into perpetual debt.”  It seems they haven’t resisted the temptation.

The “product sector” must be supported by other producers.  A fisherman can’t ply his trade unless other producers produce boats and nets and fuel to get them out to sea and back.  Lumberjacks can’t sell timber unless there are mills that process it as wel as trucks and trains to haul it.  Every tradesman needs other producers to produce the tools of the trade.  When over half of Americans cease producing, a shortage of tools and equipment and goods themselves become scarce.  The law of supply and demand adjusts the price of these goods upward enabling those with higher salaries a monetary advantage over those earning less.  Tyrants overseas take advantage of these shortages, leveraging brutal tactics and often slave labor to undermine our economically disadvantaged supply chain.

Because half the people in America work for the “plunder sector” and don’t produce anything, the money they use is “created” money.  Their “pretend money” has no earned value.  it was “pretended” into existence.  It didn’t result from someone producing wealth, one day it simply “appeared” when it was “created” into existence.  Every “plunder sector” member purchases actually produced wealth with “pretend money” with no more value than monopoly money. 

The “product sector” goods are being bought by people in both sectors.  People in the “product sector” paid for their money with wealth.  People in the “plunder sector” got their money without producing anything to pay for it.  On average the people in the “plunder sector” receive twice as much money as the people in the “product sector” earn.  They’re shooting our buffalos.

Without wealth, measured in terms of product, the ability of a people to remain free is compromised.  The ability to maintain self determination is overwhelmed by an ever encroaching federal bureaucracy bent on imposing impossible-to-obey regulations.  Without the ability to utilize America’s abundant natural resources we are losing our economic independence, becoming dependent on China and other slave-wage tyrannies.  Without real wealth, our infrastructure is crumbling.  Our military is declining in size and effectiveness.  We are being plundered socially as well as economically with aberrant behavior being legislated as normal, creating even more entitlements.  America’s structural wall of wealth is very close to collapse.  America’s trade with numerous other nations has already become severely imbalanced making commercial failure inevitable.  Economic collapse will ultimately lead to vulnerability and the ultimate loss of our national sovereignty, already being negotiated away through UN treaties.

We either need more buffalo or a way to stop those who are shooting them.

If we don’t, America will become an economic reservation.
