In
"Police State Amerika",
David Galland, Managing Director of Casey Research,
has a conversation with constitutional lawyer and monetary expert Dr. Edwin
Vieira, who holds four degrees from Harvard University. From the article:
"Dr. Vieira and I covered a lot
of ground in our lengthy conversation, most of it related to the U.S.
monetary system – its history, nature, and likely fate. But in between
the details and analysis of how it is that the nation’s fiscal and
monetary affairs have deteriorated to the current dismal state – and
how the global sovereign debt crisis is likely to be resolved – a
couple of deeply concerning truths emerged.
Concerning because, taken together,
these truths have set the stage for a full-blown police state.
The first of these two truths has to
do the nature of today’s money. To set the stage, I present the
following excerpt from Dr. Vieira’s paper A Cross of Gold
related to the original Federal Reserve Act."
Galland
then goes on to explain how the arbitrary nature of law enforcement drives
citizen submission:
"To
understand why this is so important as a precedent
to the evolution of fascism, view the matter in reverse by considering how
different things would be if the constitutionally mandated requirement that
the government’s currency be redeemable in good money – gold or
silver – was still enforced. In that case, the government’s
ability to spend would be effectively limited by what it collected in
revenues. That, in turn, would have greatly curtailed its ability to grow
into the bloated juggernaut it has.
In other words, the American ideal of
a limited government would have been hard wired.
....his final conclusion is that they
are operating with an unseen agenda in mind. In his view, that agenda
revolves around the rising potential for widespread social unrest emanating
from the nationwide monetary Ponzi scheme. Doing its part to prepare, the
Supreme Court has been establishing the precedents necessary for the
government to cope with that unrest.
On this general theme, Dr. Vieira
correctly points out that, in order for a fascist state to exist does not
require the government to actually arrest anyone – but only that they can arrest anyone. Do you
think you broke a law over the past week? I can assure you that every one of
you dear readers broke a lot
of laws. Sure, you may not have realized you were breaking a law – but,
as the old saying goes, 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse.'"
