Government's Shell Game

The Shell Game

Now you see it….now you don’t. Now you see us…now you don’t.

This is the game our government has been playing with the American people for over 70 years. Keep them busy and they won’t notice what we are doing. As far back as the Social Security act in 1934 the game has been played and each administration quickly learns how to play. And, my friends, they are very good at it.

A friend of mine once wrote me about this issue. He named it differently, but the concept was the same:
“The game our government plays is called Divide and Conquer. Keep the people divided. Keep them busy with I’m black, you’re white; I’m republican, you’re democrat; I’m baptist, you’re catholic; I’m liberal, you’re conservative. Keep the Canon Fodder fighting amongst themselves and they will never see that they have lost their freedom, and everything they do is controlled by us, for our profit.”

Some past results of this Shell Game:

In 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected president. One of the first things he did was to issue an Executive Order prohibiting any person in the United States from owning gold. Step 1: Remove gold from the hands of the people. Step 2: Create Social Security System for the people. Boy, we’ve got them now.

In 1964 president Trader Johnson did away with the silver backing of the dollar. This means there is no Gold or Silver (real money) backing our country, making our currency a fiat.

Federal Reserve
The Federal Reserve Corporation, and its collection agency the Internal Revenue Service, came about on December 23, 1913, just before midnight…say around 11:55 P.M., with a minimum present to vote. An interesting point in the charter is that the Federal Reserve cannot be audited. Now let’s see… how would you like to have a corporation or business that can’t be audited? Do you think it might give you an opportunity to cheat, maybe just a little?

We The People still have the power. If we elect anyone who is not talking about repealing the Federal Reserve Act, and making congress responsible for the control of the Real Money (gold or silver) of the United States of America, they are part of the problem and NOT a part of the solution.

The Social Security Act
Your great-grand parents or grandparents were misled (defrauded) into taking a SS number so they could survive the hard times. This number granted them limited liability. They were not told that they were interring a contract, creating a corporate status, replacing their status as Sovereigns, and removing all their constitutionally protected God Given Rights for man made privileges. The Social Security Number is your corporate number. When you or your parent/guardian accepted your SS number, you were placed under the same contract.

At the inception of The Social Security System, the Supreme Court said,
“The Social Security Number would only be constitutional if it was never used as a national Identification number.” The people were worried that it would become the mark of the beast.

Some of us are old enough to remember the original red, white, and blue SS cards. At the bottom of the card it said, “NOT FOR PURPOSE OF IDENTIFICATION.” Today it’s necessary on almost any form you fill out: drivers license, electric co, telephone, job, bank account, tax forms, etc. If you file your taxes without putting your SS number on the form, the IRS will return it to you, asking for it, saying, “We cannot process your taxes without it.”
Since we are no longer Sovereigns, but rather corporations, they can’t process your Corporate Tax Forms without the 1909 Corporation Tax Act Identification number.

Have you ever heard any advertisement telling you, that you had 30 days to rescind your Social Security Number? Your parents/ guardians had power of attorney for you until you reached legal contract age, so they were told to get you a SSN if they wanted to claim you on their taxes. They knew that if you signed up for selective service, you would have to use your Social Security number, thereby Initiating the Social Security Contract after you had reached legal contracting age. Has anyone from the Social Security Administration ever met or called you?

Have you ever been given any information from Social Security about the specific performance that is required of you? Have they ever given you any information? Were you ever notified that by accepting the SS number, you were giving up your Sovereignty, all your god given rights, and your constitutional rights for the privilege of becoming a corporation, that government could rule over? I’ll bet you answered NO to all these questions.

Foreign Policy
Some quotes I found on the Internet from average American citizens:

“We need to inspire a new human rights-based foreign policy. There is a connection between international human rights and American security. Terrorists breed where human rights are suffocated. The US ought to base foreign policy on human rights not just because it is the right thing to do (although it is) but because it is the strategic thing to do.”

“We should treat the United Nations as an ally in achieving and maintaining peace and justice, not as an enemy that is trying to obstruct our foreign policy. The policy of trying to bully the world is doomed to fail eventually, just as it did for Rome.”

“If America exported education, medical treatment, and compassion, instead of weapons, troops, torture, and economic hegemony, we would be safer.”

“Protect our workers at home by demanding that companies producing overseas and who sell in the U.S. meet the same environmental standards, worker pay, conditions and benefits as companies producing products in the U.S., or else they don't do business to us.”

“We have increased the hatred in this world and we have caused it to focus on us more tightly. We have confirmed, in the minds of many Muslims, exactly what the extremists have been telling them.”

Iraq War
There has been much talk about why we entered this war. Unlike WWI and WWII, there was no direct threat to our country. Weapons of Mass Destruction were never found. Saddam Hussein was a horrible dictator in his country, committing terrible atrocities. But, popular belief notwithstanding, he did not play a direct part with Osama Bin Laden in 9/11. He was no better than several other dictators of other countries performing the same atrocities. So, why was he singled out? Perhaps the fact that Iraq is the 3rd largest oil producer in the world had something to do with it, you think? This, coupled with the fact that Donald Rumsfeld needed a live practice field for his joint military “Transformation” program, after exhausting all possible simulations.

To date, over 1270 young American boys have died in this war. Died for an agenda that has never come to fruition. The soldiers, and their families, believe they are there protecting our country. They must believe this. It’s all they have.
But I believe differently. I believe we should never have gone into Iraq…in 1990 or this time. There were other methods of dealing with Saddam Hussein… just like Slobodan Milocevic, Muammar Qaddafi, and others.

So, Americans…I say to you. Keep yourselves busy with the Shell Game and you will not see what our Government is doing. They can pass more bad laws, implement more tax laws, upset other nations with their foreign policy, get involved in unpopular wars, and you won’t even notice. You will be too busy trying to figure out which label to stick on your forehead. Or, you will be too busy complaining about your neighbor because he is too conservative, or he is a Baptist, or he is black or brown.

Get busy with watching our government and let the other stuff go. When you see something you don’t like…act. This is supposed to be a government for the people…not a government in spite of the people!
