With hindsight, and time, we've come to appreciate how dangerous that situation had become, and it's true importance is now reflected in history. Imagine how you would react if you asked someone about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and they said, ``I didn't know.'' You'd have a pretty interesting look on your face, wouldn't you? Someday, our posterity will look back at another event, again with the benefit of hindsight and time, and they will again come to appreciate how dangerous it was. This event marks the beginning of a period that has lasted 62 years. This time period will make the Cuban Missile Crisis seem trivial. I am talking about March 4th 1933, and the last 62 years to our present day. Our posterity will look back at this time period and be aghast at how dangerous a time it has been. ``How did you live under such conditions?'' They will ask. ``What was it like?'' To which many of us will answer, ``I didn't even know.'' Someday that will happen, and I'm hoping that ``someday'' starts today. Like many of you, I have not been happy about various things that have happened in our country. So many times, I'd see injustice done, or a usurpation of rights, and ask, ``How can that happen?'' People would reply ``Such and Such Act...'' or ``Supreme Court Case XX-XXX...'' But I'd know in my heart that what happened, and the justification for allowing it to happen, was just plain wrong. When I was in school, I was lucky. I had teachers that really understood the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and what they meant, and they were ingrained upon me. So today, January 16th 1995, I am finally at a point in my life were I now know what is wrong with our country. What is wrong, is that the Constitution, the great document that I always looked to, as some sort of ``Grand Law '' is no longer in effect. It hasn't been since March 4th 1933. In fact, I've NEVER lived under the protections guaranteed by it. Imagine my surprise. But to be honest, this is one of the greatest revelations in my life. While I don't like what I see, AT LEAST I CAN SEE! It's like driving on a foggy road, mile after mile, searching for my way, only to find more and more fog. Then all of a sudden the fog lifts, and I find I'm miles away from my destination, BUT I KNOW WHERE I AM, AND (more importantly) I KNOW the direction I must go to get where I want to be. (Atheist and agnostics WARNING!!) PRAISE GOD! Here's what it breaks down to. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a traitor to our country. He used the crisis of the Great Depression to declare a national emergency and invoke the War Powers Act. (An Act which has never stood a Constitutional test, and if so, would probably fail.) He suspended the Constitution, invoked Martial Law, subjugated the court system, confiscated property, and declared war on ``We The People.'' On March 4th 1933, he declared a national emergency via proclamation 2038 (and then 2039 and 2040) that to this day, have never been completely revoked. To varying degrees, every president since then has used this proclamation for their own agenda. A Senate Study done in 1973 (Senate Report 93-549) has confirmed this, and present day Arizona Senator John McCain just re-confirmed it on December 8th 1994 on a local Phoenix radio show, on KFYI. The explanation of the effects of these actions are WAY beyond what this medium can support, but here are some of the ``high-lights.'' The Federal Reserve Act took all the money away from your ancestors and CONTINUES to do so to you today! The thing we call ``money'' IS NOT. It is a TEMPORARY currency issued as an EMERGENCY measure. The idea was to ``create'' money, to employ people by the Federal Government (Recall the Great Works Programs) to get the nation out of the depression. This influx of temporary money DID that, but at a cost which is NOT REPAYABLE. The GOLD of all the citizens of the nation was ``entrusted'' to a relatively newly formed entity called the Federal Reserve. The Gold was supposed to ``back'' the temporary money that the Federal Reserve was printing for the Government, and the Government was using this money to fund these projects. But that's NOT what happened. Instead 1/3 of the gold was GIVEN to the Federal Reserve (A PRIVATE CORPORATION) and we were told it was a ``tax.'' Today we are STILL repaying the interest on that original loan (and others since then) made to the US Government by the Federal Reserve. We will ALWAYS have a national debt because the ONLY MONEY we have to repay the loan is the ``money'' the Federal Reserve issued us, and part of that original amount was taken out of circulation by the first ``tax'' that the banks took from those who deposited their gold in the banks as directed by the president (FDR). I ENCOURAGE, I plead with you, to read the book, ``Constitution: Fact or Fiction'' by Dr. Eugene Schroder. It's only $15 and you can get it from me, or the publisher, 1 800 610 4908, or have your library order it, ISBN No. 1-885534-06-X. Order the tapes, or send me two cassettes (60 minute ones) and a SASE, and I'll record them for you and send them back. You can also FREQ WEP.ZIP from me. I know there has been rumors of this sort of thing for years, and I heard about them too, but there were always ``holes'' in the theories. Well folks, those holes have been filled by this (and other) books just published this and last year. FINALLY it's all out in the open. It's taken over 60 years to FINALLY expose what has happened, and we've GOT to read the books and get the word out. This is REAL. This is not some ``conspiracy nuts;'' it's conspiracy facts. President Herbert Hoover knew what was up. He was approached by the same people and refused to invoke the power that FDR did. Not only did FDR do as was requested by the Federal Reserve Bankers, and the powers behind them, but he did it with a zeal that would make Mao Tse-tung envious. The "Obligatory" Proof If you have read this far, it shows you have an open mind, and one in which you have had serious questions yourself. But like me, you needed "proof" before you would take these allegations seriously. You have undoubtably heard the words "Executive Order." "Executive Orders" have been used by every president in office since President Lincoln issed Executive Order No. 1. (Which was overruled by Chief Justice Taney; Lincoln simply ignored it.) These "Executive orders" have been used to, in effect, create law. One president comes in and revokes the "executive orders" of the preceeding and then issues his own. I challenge you to find ANY authority for a President to make "executive orders" in the Constitution. You will only find them in the War Powers Act, or used in times of War. The "War" is on US! We are paying over 50% of our incomes to government. We are being deprived of our property without fair compensation and due process. Our children are being taken away from us, our citizens are being killed, murdered, and we keep waiting for someone to do something about it. I'm not asking you to take up a gun and march on Washington. I'm asking that you INFORM yourself. I've made some VERY SERIOUS allegations here. If I'm wrong, I'm just a nut and you are out $15. (less than that if you just get the tapes from me) but if I'm right (and I AM right) then today, the day you are reading this, is the MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN YOUR LIFE! For today is the day you will remember, when someday, someone asks you, ``What was it like?'' And you'll say, ``I didn't WANT to know.'' (c) 1995 by Eric Gray, All Rights Reserved.
