- First, here is the revised populist agenda.
(Scroll down if you have already seen this.) :
-
- 1. Government should get out of the war on terror
business (9-11 was a false-flag operation)
-
- 2. The US should pull out of Iraq and
Afganistan immediately -- and effectively switching sides in foreign
policy with respect to puppet states we have set up
-
- 3. The money supply (money and credit) should be
taken out of the control of private foreign bankers and become the exclusive
provenance of the US Treasury
-
- 3. Anti-trust should be applied to the monopoly
media
-
- 4. The income tax (tax on being productive) should
be eliminated (as it was prior to 1913) -- tarrifs on imports should be
the major source of Federal Revenues (to stimulate -- ressurrect --
home production -- and smaller government)
-
- 5. A wealth tax should be imposed on fortunes above 60
million dollars, steeply progressive to completely eliminate billionaires
-
- 6. Israel apartheid should be condemned and Zionism
eliminated from foreign policy objectives
-
- 7. The US should take steps to balance the budget
and end the imbalance of foreign trade and encourage production
at home
-
- 8. Control of education should be returned to local
school boards
-
- 9. The special power of corporations as legal "persons"
should be repealed
-
- 10. Not the stock market or "fighting inflation"
(keeping bond prices high), but the standard of living (quality of
life) across the entire population now and in the future should be the
primary purpose, criteria and focus of government.
-
- 11. US Senators should once again be selected by
State Legislatures (as was done before 1913) so that they are not so easily
bought and so they are better qualified
-
- 12. Presidents should -- as the Founding Fathers
originally conceived -- be selected by electors chosen by the people
-- not by political parties -- the electors selected by petition
to be put on an "elector" ballot and voted for every four years
-- all electors non-partisan.
-
- 13. Prisons should be reformatories, not colleges
for crime and places where prisoners are buggered by bullies. And
the drug addicts should be released as the new drug program is introduced
(see above, and below)
-
- 14. Banks should be limited to individual states
with no out-of-state holding companies allowed.
-
- =================
-
- A liberatarian group has devised its own political
orientation test to determine where individuals fit on a two-dimensional political-ideology
graph with "Right-Conservative"versus
"Left-liberal" along the x-axis, and "Libertarian"
versus "Statist" on the y-axis and "centerist" being
those found near the origin (near the (0,0) point) --
but this graph neglects the crucial third dimension -- it makes
no provision for a z-axis of "Populist versus Pro-Oligarcy"
(see my defining populist issues above) -- the missing and all-important
"third dimension." At any rate, here are their two-dimensional
uestions (and my populist answers to them -with additional
comments by Peter Wakefield Sault (in the UK) and my responses to Peter's
comments:
-
- Personal Issues:
-
- 1. True or False: Government should not censor
speech, press, media or Internernet
-
- DE: False. Censor porn, not political
speech.
-
- PWS: For adult audiences, where do you draw the
line between art and porn? E.g. what is Michelangelo's 'David'? Perhaps
it should be decided on an item by item basis, by jurists.
-
- DE: If it is meant to be consumed with masturbation it
is pornography. Pornography consumed in this way conditions sexual predispositions
and behavior -- with sadistic or fetishistic or child porn it creates
social deviance. The states -- state courts should decide.
Pornographic art no matter how creative and expressive should be banned
from society. Let authors know they cannot produce social poison
and they will leave it out of their art. The same applies to Texas
Chain Saw Massacre horror and organized crime movies. If Hollywood
can't get out of its horror-organized crime - sexual deviance rut
than it will be time to fine them out of existence and start over
with all new artists and film culture.
-
- 2. True or False: Military service should be voluntary.
There should be no draft
-
- DE: True -- sufficient pay and simple
love-of-country and use of military only for REAL national defense
should be enough to keep the ranks full.
-
- PWS: There should be no armies and no weapons of
war. If there were no nations and no religions then who would need an army
anyway?
-
- DE: Military power should exist just to the
level to deter aggression against us -- not to impose our capitalists
on the rest of the world. When our government -- and other governments
of the world -- rein in bankers and corporations that profit from war
the level of this defense would be safely kept quite low -- right
now the US is vulnerable to subversion and conquest by international
creditor interests
-
- 3. True or False: There should be no laws regarding
sex for consenting adults
-
- DE: False -- keep ALL sex
in the closet -- and away from children. The state must protect its
future generations by protecting its children. Leave it to the states
to create these laws.
-
- PWS: Sex offenders (pedophiles, rapists etc.) and
women who have either had induced abortions or have used cocaine should
be sterilised and/or castrated. (Cocaine use by women causes their children
to develop psychopathy later in life - this is now proven. It causes brain
damage in fetuses which leads to that condition. Pedophilia has also been
shown to develop as a consequence of damage to the frontal area of the
brain, as by tumours etc. - so it is in some cases medically treatable.
Naturally this does not cover ALL pedophilia.)
-
- DE: While abortion is the killing of a genetically
complete living human being -- and has killed off much of the generation
that should now be producing national output nd paying taxes (supporting
our ageing population etc.) today -- forced sterilization is worse-than-horrible
totalitarian intrusion which no government should have the power to do
-- sterilization should always be voluntary. Cocaine and alcohol
are death on families and the good of society -- outlawing drugs and
alcohol always provides big profits for black market organized crime -- The
populist would outlaw the public selling of cocaine -- but allow
that all registered addicts be allowed to by very very cheap
cocaine from the government to destroy the organized crime element.
-
- 4. True or False: Repeal laws prohibiting adult
possession and use of drugs
-
- DE: yes -- outlaw salse but not possession
to take the profit out of it for organized crime -- with those profits
the drug money power runs the world -- let the government supply
extremely cheap at-cost drugs to addicts
-
- PWS: Tobacco and alcohol use should be legal? I think
not. But your point is, however, correct - illegality benefits only criminals.
It is a real conundrum with no simple answer. My solution is to provide
new adults (i.e. 21-year-olds) with 'licenses' to use drugs - licenses
which can be revoked if the user engages in harming themselves or others
as a consequence of irresponsible usage. Drunk drivers etc. should have
their license to drink revoked, not merely their license to drive (as well
as being punished by gaol, fines etc. as appropriate)
-
- DE: I say that giving licesnses for drug
use to new adults is like sex education -- it is a subtle push to
vice. Keep drugs out of society -- out of mind -- but those who are
addicted let them quietly be provided with their drug by the government
-- selling should be the crime -- addiction should be considered
a sickness - a plague that must be treated with compassion for the victims
-- but not expensive government programs to provide "counseling or
psycological services or social workers -- which does not work and
creates a corrupt industry and interest group that is far from helpful)
States, counties, townships should be allowed to vote prohibition if they
want to -- and the penalty for bootlegging from state to state
or county to country should not be too severe -- the little free-lance
bootleggers will keep out big organized crime by the competition
-- but there should be no national prohibition law.
-
- 5. True or False: There should be no National ID
card
-
- DE: Maybe -- can't make up my mind -- people
should have nothing to hide -- but what good purpose would it serve
that the present system does not serve?
-
- PWS: There should be no nations. I know that
you, like many others, have been seduced by nationalism and propagandised
into believing that 'globalism' is evil. That is how the Jews exert control
over you and all the nations, apparently without you even knowing it. There
should be ONE currency for all the world, removing the banks ability to
'tax' currency exchange. There should be uniform taxation (if any)
for all people. There should be absolute freedom of movement (naturally
there are exceptions, such as carriers of infectious diseases and criminals).
There should be global anti-pollution laws that cannot be evaded by moving
a dirty operation across a border into some country where the pols are
more easily bribed.
-
- DE: Nation states are associated with exploitation
of majorities by ruling minorities -- but intelligent solutions
exist if we can find them (look on this page) and persuade the pulbic
of the reforms that are needed (distribute this page). Globalism
is evil. It allows neither democracy nor republic-style representation
-- it is rule by billionaire merchant bankers and their hired brains and
instrumentalities (NGO's, World Bank, IMF, etc.) -- There is
no problem with multiple national currencies in a rational system where
currencies rise or fall in currency markets against gold or against other
currencies. Each government of each nation should have total control
over the supply of its own currency -- taking the natural consequences
of inflation and deflation and balance of payments and strength of the
dollar as "market (reality) discipline" -- but guarding
by regulation the depradations of international currency traders etc.
-
- "Economic Issues"
-
- 1. True or False: End "corporate welfare."
No government handouts to business
-
- DE: True. Handouts no, corporations
as legal persons should be eliminated -- break them up into small privately
owned companies -- develop a tax structure that encourages jobs and
business starts -- restructure the financial system so that capital
is not sent abroad but is made available to our own domestic entrepreneurs
-- restoring the land of opportunity.
-
- PWS: Double-talk. The only encouragement
needed is the possibility of profit. What should be removed is financial
inheritance (i.e. I am not proposing to take anyone's property inheritance,
such as their late mother's house.) Corporations should not have human
rights, let alone superhuman rights. All ultimate human owners should be
properly and publicly identified - no proxies and no holding companies.
-
- DE: Can't add anything to this.
Yes, inheritance tax should also reduce overly great fortunes in addition
to the effect of the wealth tax. Small family businesses --
up to a certain size -- should be free of inheritance tax -- something
like a homestead act should be devised for small businesses and family
farms.
-
- 2. True or False: End government barriers to international
free trade
-
- DE: no -- we must regulate international
commerce, especially capital and labor flows across boarders
-
- PWS: Repeat - there should be no national borders
anyway.
-
- DE: Repeat. The sovereign nation state is
the only instrumentality for government in the public interest. A
world government must be a world oligarchy where people count as nothing.
People have been ill-served by always "corrupt" (self-serving
exploitive minority rule) government -- but the remedy is to
be found in Jeffersonian checks and balances, not a super-government with
no representation.
-
- 3. True or False: Let people control their own
retirement; privatize Social Security (hell
-
- DE: no. Let the government pension remain
a government pension -- people can invest on their own. Don't
mix the two with forced investment/speculation on the stock market)
-
- PWS: Everyone should be cared for in their old age
- proper shelter, food, clothing and healthcare as a minimum. As should
the disabled and incapacitated at any age. Globally.
-
- DE:
- We have a federal social security and medicare
program in the US. All other minamum assistance should be from the
states. The real goal is that every family make an income big enough
to provide for old-aged needs -- saving for ones own old-age
or having enough to support a parent beyond social security and medicare.
There should also be room for private charity. Populism
is not socialism -- populism makes social welfare unnecessary because
it abolishes poverty by improving the economic and social environment.
-
- 4. True or False: Cut taxes and government spending
by 50% or more
-
- DE: no -- where government belongs
do not cut, where government does not belong eliminate 100 percent.
If all taxes exceed 25 percent of income that is too much.
We will eliminate much of the interest that government has to pay by arresting
the financiers to whom the money is owned and charging them with crimes
against humanity -- their debts will be cancelled in penalty.
-
- PWS: What exactly is the contemporary purpose of
taxation?
-
- DE: The contemporary purpose is for the ruling
minority to take tribute from the subjugated majority and to fund the apparatus
of minority-rule coercion. In the U.S. we no longer vote
the money at the same time that they vote a government project or service
-- rather they just vote the political pork without consideration
of cost -- and vote the "appropriations" seperately --
it is a very irresponsible and corrupt system and it shows the true nature
of the game.
- But there are legitimate public goods that the
government provides its people -- sound money, regulation of
interstate commerce, post office, control of boarders, social security,
medicare, defense, projects like dams and highway system, regulation of
air traffic and air waves, anti-trust etc.
