Let us begin with best wishes to all of my readers in this New Year of 2013.
This writer has purposely not written much regarding politics since this past November 6th, 2012 to gain perspective on the best direction in which this Country should proceed.
After the election,
this writer was very disappointed when he heard the same old rhetoric, issues and political dogma once again emerge as the dominate manner of political discourse.
Further, regardless of who they voted for, a large number of voters were not happy with choices they had to select from for President and other offices. These choices were forced upon them by the Establishment of both major parties.
Liberty died a little bit more this year as both major political parties decided to abandon the Rule of Law and resurrect the political philosophy known as the Divine Right of Kings.
- In the Republican party, we saw the GOP Establishment stack the
rules committee to pass rules that make grassroots participation even
more difficult;
- In the Democratic Party, we saw the Democrat Establishment blatantly
lie about the outcome of a vote regarding the mention of God and
Jerusalem in their platform.
These two Un-American acts by both major political parties demonstrated to Americans of every political stripe that our political parties no longer represent us but rather manage us like livestock. When their duplicity fails, they resort to the philosophy of “Might makes Right”.
With so much money and power aligned against WE THE PEOPLE, it is difficult to know where to start. But start somewhere we must.
This writer has concluded that WE THE PEOPLE must take on the role in framing the issues of future elections instead of allowing the 2 major parties and the press to do so.
Further, WE THE PEOPLE must……

How to tell if your grassroots TEA Party or Occupy group has been usurped by a major political party (Part 1 of 2)
USURP
1. To seize power from another, usually by illegitimate means.
2. To use and assume the coat of arms of another person.
As the election nears, certain alleged and true grassroots political
organizations will soon become prevalent in the major media. As a result of this renewed media attention, many folks will renew their
affiliation with, or contemplate joining, a TEA Party or Occupy group.
Many of these folks will be getting involved in politics for the first
time in their lives. As political rookies, these folks may benefit from
the advice of more seasoned citizens, such as this writer, in navigating the plethora of political shell games the establishment of both political parties play.
One of those political shell games involves grassroots political organizations that appear to be true,
independent grassroots groups but which are actually are Trojan Horses (Astroturf) usurped by one political party or another. Rumors and allegations of this sort abound about both the TEA Party and the Occupy Movements. The conflicting rumors, allegations, duplicity and propaganda can be overwhelming, especially to a new comer to the political game.
In the first part of this two part article, we will provide you with a list of 25 easy questions to ask yourself about your current or prospective grassroots group. In part two of this article, we will suggest to you how to assess if your own answers about your particular grassroots group indicates whether or not it has been usurped by one of the major political parties.
This writer provides this tool for his fellow citizens to use, because your time is valuable and in short
supply.
This writer does not want you wasting your precious time because you are misled into joining and supporting an alleged grassroots organization that is not what it portends to be.
In this writers attempts to divine the truth from the propaganda, he has arrived at the following perspective.
In as much as it possible for this writer to discern, on the National and State Levels, both the Occupy and TEA Party Movements have been usurped by 1 of the major political parties. The National and State Level Occupy movements seemed to have been usurped by the Democrat party (primarily progressives) and the National and State Level TEA Party movement seems to have been usurped by the Republican
Party [e.g. Congressional TEA Party Caucus].
But the local, true grassroots TEA Party and occupy organizations run the gamut from fiercely independent true grassroots groups to merely extensions of 1 of the 2 major political parties. Yet, this writer deems the truly independent grassroots local political organizations as the most effective units of anti-status quo political organization and the place where an individual can have the maximum impact on the agenda and goals of the group.
With the duplicity of the political establishment and the complexity of this social and political dynamic in mind, this questionnaire is drafted to allow anyone to objectively determine if their preferred grassroots political group is a truly independent grassroots organization or simply a Trojan Horse cheer leading squad for one of the two major political parties.
Here goes:
- Has your group been in existence for more than a year, with no real
elections in which others were encouraged to run for leadership
positions? Is the ballot counting process transparent? Is the founder or
leader closely associated as major “player” in a political party?
- ….

As the reader looks upon the accompanying “Political Bell Curve” Chart one Political Demographic group stands out.
Based on its overwhelming proportion of the population this Demographic group represents, it logically should control the political agenda of our country… Please hold that thought.
As this writer looks out upon the political and economic landscape that is America, he struggles to make sense of it all. How can the following events and acts be reconciled with belief that we live in a Constitutionally limited, Representative Republic with two separate and
independent major political parties?
Democrats, who are supposed to be the champions over the middle and lower class America, vote to bail out businesses and their wealthy owners?
Republicans are supposed to value the risk and reward Darwinism of the Free Market, yet voted to bailout failed business and business owners?
Republicans are supposed to be about the risk and reward Darwinism of the Free Market, yet voted for the stimulus bill?
For three years, this writer has advanced a resolution within the Republican Party, the party of fiscal responsibility, requiring that all municipalities (cities, counties, schools, etc) post their budgets and actually spending and revenues on the internet in layman’s terms with no aggregates over $100.00. Instead of embracing this obvious fiscal transparency tool, the Republican Party of Minnesota has engaged in reprisal and various unethical acts to prevent this resolution from being made part of the Republican Platform.
http://bit.ly/IgWOtd
Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal (87%)
http://bit.ly/JGnCl8of Obamacare, yet somehow allegedly are willing to trust Romneycare Flip Flop Romney not to flip flop on State run Health care?
Republicans and Democrats vote to take away WE THE PEOPLE’s right to a speedy trial and representation under the Bill of Rights with NDAA?
The Government philosophy of “Consent of the Governed” developed out of the Enlightenment* supposedly replaced “Divine Right of Kings”, yet our US Supreme Court has restored the Divine Right of Kings with it obvious and purposeful misinterpretation of the 11th Amendment.
http://goo.gl/XeOYV And neither major political party objects?
Individual Property Rights were one of the fundamental Natural Law Rights established through the Enlightenment*, yet our courts have restored Divine Right of Kings in various Court rulings.
http://bit.ly/rZvrXM And, yet again, no major political party objects?
The American Judiciary and Legal system are systemically corrupt and yet the Democrat and Republican Parties actively cover up, aid and abet this systemic corruption.
http://bit.ly/JBFOiB
To this writer’s mind, somehow these ironies & inconsistencies are not adequately explained by the belief in a political system where 2 independent and philosophically diametrically opposed political parties
battle to represent the best interests of WE THE PEOPLE.
And with that thought in mind, this writer sought to identify a political paradigm to explain the inconsistencies the alleged 2 party political system paradigm does not logically nor reasonably explain.
Before we go further, we must establish 3 facts:
1) The US Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of
Rights were drafted to be consistent with the concepts of Natural Law
and Natural Rights Born out of the Enlightenment*;
2) The US Government is not a Democracy. The Founding Fathers
specifically founded the US as a constitutionally limited,
Representative Republic. It was based this way to prevent the majority
from taking from an individual or minority certain UNALIENABLE Natural
Law Rights (except for criminal offenses confirmed by the Rule of Law
and Due Process);
3) We The People must work within the parameters of the US
Constitution and Natural Law. Any powers not specifically enumerated in
the Federal Constitution were specifically reserved for the States
and/or the people.
As you might imagine, when confronted with the concept of commoners having Natural Rights, those who would be tyrants did not easily give up the power of “Divine Right of Kings”. Some countries, such as England, grudgingly incorporated the concepts of Natural Law into their ruling documents. Many countries, such as France, attempted to violently repress these new ideas and were eventually overthrown by outright violent revolution. But by no means, did any of these former and would be tyrants, give up there designs on restoring their previous positions of power.
And then came along those upstart radical American Colonists who founded an entire Nation diametrically opposed to the Government philosophy of the Divine Right of Kings. Instead it was based on the
philosophy of “Consent of the Governed”.
And there the tyrants and would-be tyrants were stuck with a huge portion of a country’s population thinking they had the same rights as their elected officials, the rich and the elite.
And again we are back to “Based on its proportion of the population this Demographic group represents, logically it should control the political agenda of our country…”
BUT IT DOES NOT. How is this possible?
How did this happen?
To understand what has happened, perhaps it is easiest to explain it from the perspective of the would-be tyrants.
In this new up start America, most of the old tools under Divine Rights of Kings were lost. No longer were their orders able to be based on whim without consideration of the Rights of others, the Rule of Law
nor Due Process. And, freedom of religion vastly curbed the ability to bring the population to heal with religious dogma.
Suddenly the only tools left to the 1% were their wealth, knowledge, censorship and propaganda. But they were still 1% versus the 99%. The 99%, having more in common with each other than the 1%, could easily control the political agenda of the country.
The first step,artificially divide the 99%. (2 major parties)
The second step,pit the 2 halves of the 99% against each other by using……
