 FRANKLIN  DELANO ROOSEVELT......... Architect of American enslavement

 

Former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had been nominated to be named the Man of the Century.  The criteria the establishment  press uses to judge excellence never ceases to amaze me. If  your agenda is to support the socialization of  America, what better man to honor than  Franklin D. Roosevelt, the idol of President Clinton. I am convinced, as a student of history, that in generations to come  Franklin Delano Roosevelt  will become known as the father of  American Socialism.

 In 1930, as Governor of  New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt expressed the American tradition when he said:........The Constitution does not empower the Congress to deal with a great number of  vital problems of government such as the conduct of public utilities, of  education, of social welfare and a dozen other important features.... and Washington must not be encouraged to interfere in these areas.Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic party Presidential candidate  in 1932, ran with the slogan "The New Deal." Roosevelt's intention, as told to the American people, was to give them less government. He called for an end to deficit spending  and for sound money. The first three planks of the Democratic party platform read as follows:

We advocate:

 " 1. An immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus and eliminating extravagance, to accomplish a saving of not less than 25 percent in the cost of the Federal government.

   2. Maintenance of the national credit by a Federal budget annually balanced.....

   3. A sound currency to be maintained at all hazards."

Two years later, the newly elected FDR, with the catchy slogan and the blueprint of the program for the socialization of  America began his presidency as the "Great Man" at the feet of whom the American people would lay down their liberties.

In his inaugural address, March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt told the American people ..the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no market for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return... Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance....Nature still offers her bounty. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very light of the supply. Primarily this is good, because the rulers of  the exchange of mankind's goods have failed....have admitted their failure and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money-changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of a generation of self-seekers......Yes, the money-changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit. We cannot go back to the old order."

The old order, capitalism, became the enemy of the people, thereby making ownership of private property the symbol of those who would put property rights above social rights. Against all the old symbols of  individualism and self-reliance was raised the attractive counter symbol of security. What this new president did not tell the American people was that he was about to embark on a program where the American people would be educated to relinquish their liberty for a little  security.

The new President further declared that the people had "asked for discipline and direction under leadership"; that he would seek to bring speedy action "within my Constitutional authority"; and that he hoped the "normal balance of executive and legislative authority" could be maintained, and then he said: "But in the event that Congress shall fail.......and in the event that the national emergency is still critical.......I shall ask Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis........broad executive power to make war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe."

A New Speak had not as yet been introduced to the American public. The word "emergency" was understood to mean what the dictionaries said it meant.........a sudden crisis; a pressing necessity. Obviously, in retrospect, the word emergency meant much more to the new President. He interpreted it to mean he had the right to declare an  emergency, and then cure that same emergency with a total reorganization of the constitutional structure of our government.

 The first official act of  President Roosevelt was to declare to the American people  a contrived bankruptcy of the United States. Before the new Congress convened, on March 9, 1933 he declared bankruptcy, in the form of "A National Banking Holiday," through Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260. Simply, every bank in America closed. The banks were also forbidden to deal in foreign exchange or in any transfer of credit from the United States to any place abroad.

He then had ex post facto law passed by the Congress, which is forbidden by the national Constitution, stating, "Acts of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury since March 4, 1933 are hereby confirmed and approved." This same act provided that no bank in the federal reserve system could resume business except subject to rules and regulation to be promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury. This act gave the President absolute power over foreign exchange and authorized the Federal government to invest public funds in private bank stock, providing banks new capitol owned by the government. And, that same act authorized the President to require the American people to surrender their gold.

 Congress did not write any of  these acts. Congress received them from the White House and passed them. It was the first use of Congress as a "RUBBER STAMP" for Executive branch legislation. There is no constitutional  authority for  the Executive to make law.  Under President Roosevelt, America  took its first step toward totalitarian rule.

Converting rights to privilege by government was fine tuned in the Roosevelt administration. While in the guise of  "Recovery,"  Roosevelt's "NEW DEAL" Presidency  succeeded in:

1. repudiation of the gold standard, confiscation of the peoples gold, debasement of the currency, deliberate inflation, monetization of debt

2. creating the authority and power of executive government to rule by decrees and rules and regulations of its own making;

3. strengthened its hold upon the economic life of the nation;

4. extended its power over the individual;

5. degraded the parliamentary principle;

6. impaired the great American tradition of an independent, Constitutional judicial power;

7. weakened the power of private enterprise, the power of private finance, the power of state and local government;
