Yours is an interesting take and a strong possibility. We are certainly being manipulated and remodeled .
BElls and whistles were going off this past Saturday morning when Mark Meckler was addressing the Convention of States Action Committee. He stated that the COS mission to pass a Balanced budget Amendment to the Constitution was useless and we should focus on term limits of the Supreme Court. 12 year term limits on the Justices where 3 would be appointed every p**********l administration. Of course, a two term president could stack the court 6/9 in just 5 years.
Mark Meckler also stated that the intent of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution was to "regulate commerce," which simply is not so. The founding fathers were capitalists - free marketeers, advocates of private property and the government's purpose was to protect private property, not build a socialist centralized planned economy to redistribute private property.
If one looks up the history of the Interstate Commerce Clause, one would uncover the difficulties the first 13 States had operating commerce under the Articles of Confederation allowing 13 separate currencies.
1) Creditors issued loans in gold and some silver, whereas state legislators printed paper fiat, c***ting each other, by flooding the market with devalued funny money. The creditors were in an uproar. (Sounds familiar.) France had financed much of our Revolution and we could not pay back our international debts, no less our personal debts across state borders.
2) Worse, the States threw up tariffs between competing states which were impeding commerce and prosperity within our nation. Under the new Constitution of 1787, Congress had the responsibility of coining one standard currency and eradicating the interstate tariffs under the Interstate Commerce Clause.
3) The Interstate Commerce Clause was essentially created to foment commerce between the states to enhance the welfare (prosperity) of the nation, not impede it through bureaucratic regulations and tariffs.
The problem with American foreign trade today is not tariffs, but engaging trade with s***e labor nations, c*******ts and socialists economies, mixing American apples with c*******t oranges, or worse, mixing apples with socialist bananas.
Merely propping up dictatorships with American money is not going to t***sform these foreign nations into free markets. Why, because free people with innovative ideas are as valuable a commodity as the resources under our feet. the socialist intelligentsia don't view the common man as an asset, but a useless eater. America is different. We are all created equal in the eyes of our Lord. That's why we rose to be the most successful and wealthiest nation on earth in 250 years.
The true mindset of Mark Meckler was on display 4/16/2016. Just remember:
* Heidi Cruz is one of Goldman/Sach's vice presidents and the author of the North American Union party platform.
* Ted Cruz's campaign is funded by Goldman/Sachs.
* Hillary Clinton's campaign is funded by Goldman/Sachs. (Bernie Sanders wants to hear Hillary's million dollar speeches to the Board of Goldman/Sachs.) Hillary is also in favor of the North American Union and is pushing every American corporation south of the border with higher corporate taxes.
We have right now, 94 million able bodied American workers who have not found a job in years, who fell off the Labor Department's unemployment statistics. If you think we have trouble now with this flight of industry to Mexico, wait until we have open borders with 500 million Mexicans stampeding north.
