A Party Platform for a Conservative GOP or New Third Party:
I. Preface: A Choice for America's Future Generations
I. Preface: A Choice for America's Future Generations
As Roger Stone posted over Twitter and which I received in my feed, today's American political environment has lost all dynamics differentiating between the Democrats and the Republican Party. I discussed this in my last article, and why either a full-scale assault on the GOP must be undertaken far more aggressively than what the Tea Party is simply placing before the conservative establishment that is the largest political contingent in the nation over moderates and liberals, or to leave the party and recreate our destiny for which we stand for what we demand to be the change from business as usual. The party platform within the GOP has long remained ensconced amid a void of a steady identity; even during the Reagan Revolution, many of his congressional, senatorial and even his own Cabinet colleagues obstructed his efforts to build a trimmer government so that we the people would be in charge, not lobbyists or wealthy bankers and entrepreneurs from both parties who cannot identify with the residents living along Main Street, U.S.A. while they profit off Hollywood Boulevard and Wall Street. Populism is the GOP's greatest weakness, but as conservatism advocates culture and tradition through any nation's historical heritage, the people in Middle America comprised of farmers, poets and sailors are the truly exceptional individuals who best exemplify the message of what Americana truly means and should be once again. We do not want a state downtrodden by perpetual class warfare to be emblematic of racial tensions, soaring income discrepancies due to the wealthy growing more so through tax breaks and exemptions at the expense of the middle class and poorest Americans growing much poorer off to the point of synonymy. Such a path is not one conducive to growth, but rather a predatory model for casino economic policies that create financial and technology sector industrial bubbles always endangering the economy to a decline through recessions and massive job losses. Through the Federal Reserve, monetary policies have now for 98 years resulted in the devaluation of the coinage through the issuance of massive paper fiat currency with no weighted value and resulting in massive inflation as demands soon arise for higher and more dangerous increases of a minimum wage, or what socialism refers to as a living wage. This model is unsustainable; prior to the rise of Woodrow Wilson in the Election of 1912, no meaningful measure for inflation was necessary because federal deficits remained low even as the currency actually deflated, not to the contrary. It is as some might say why Thomas Jefferson virulently opposed the establishment of a centralized bank to control the supply of money through artificial economies of scale, and how through rates of public expenditure, generations which manage to pay down their debts to government will eliminate the likelihood of the manifestation of one-half the wars on Earth.
Government is far too large, too expansionist and furthermore as Ronald Reagan stated, a cancer whose metastasis is the surest thing to eternal life we will ever see on God's green Earth. Red tape begets inefficiency due to large and overlapping bureaucracies which often are nearly identical in their functions. The more government grows, that cancer metastasizes and engulfs the life force of the American Dream: free enterprise, capitalism through the opportunity at entrepreneurial investments where the talents and initiative of the individual are confiscated by obscene confiscatory measures for taxation and the alarming growth in service sector conglomerates, militant labor and trade unions. The Democratic Party sells its product well, for all it needs to do is play off the poor versus the rest of the world which left them behind to feed off its dust. Sadly, the most obscene examples of morbid poverty reside in the slums and tenements of major urban areas where their condition is subsidized until they meet early graves, as welfare is never altered at the same rates of change as how monetary supply inflates or deflate. Health care initiatives prior to Obamacare were once the best among all nations, though never accredited as such by the United Nations (UN) and its subsidiary international medical regulatory apparatus, the World Health Organization (WHO). While America's medical system was once the envy of Canadian civilians who would drive south of the border to receive first rate care based upon the market share of their needs with far less in wait times, the United Kingdom was rated just last year as suffering the indignity of the average National Health Service (NHS) patient being 45% more likely to die from neglect, including time waiting for care. What Sarah Palin warned us more than six years ago about death panels has now grown into a systemic plague that includes massive surplus budgets for the Department of Veterans Affairs, but a record number of our veterans dying due to intentional neglect in VA Hospitals. While Americans who once could afford through their employers to purchase quality private health care coverage on a market scale of their utilities even as the poor had the opportunity to receive either Medicaid or to be well-provided with extraordinarily inexpensive care and even voluntary private donations by the wealthy in an unprecedented show of global altruism, today, these traits for what makes for a good American are not only discouraged, but outlawed. When Obamacare was created under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it was not merely intended to provide an ostensible platform for predatory taxes through the back door at the expense of the average civilian having any access at all to readily-available care, but to maintaining a consolidated compilation of all Americans individual tax records and background checks available at any hospital; the goal is to achieve the total abolition of voluntary care at liberty's expense for compulsory human freedom by the force to be liberated of all independence on one's own person and absolute dependence on the state and peer taxpayers. Taxation in the 21st Century is far more pernicious to the preservation of America's historical commitment to the sanctity of liberty and human freedom not because it creates cost inhibitive pricing once government engulfs private industry and free enterprise, but rather due to it has become the means to the end of Uncle Sam's nephew Big Brother serving as the state's eyes and ears of its perversion of the clandestine peeping Tom.
Our obligations to protectionist setups in the international community have created far more wars than they have prevented. But while isolationism is a measure for a harsh dictation for a nation's peace, it conflicts with foreign trade, which begets problems over territorial claims rich in raw materials and energy resources. Our commitment to NATO is now an extraordinarily strained alliance because continental Europe has only grown more opposed to our presence as the leader of the coalition today mired in the undesirable standoff with a resurgent Russian war machine that now is a capitalist system and therefore more capable of mobilizing a more extensive line of funding for its military, as well as the rise of Islamic terrorism to the tune of nearly a quarter of the continent's population now identifying themselves as Muslims because of near non-existent immigration laws. For more than 75 years, Europe has feared massive outbreaks of warfare to the point where British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's proclamation of there being "peace in [their] time" has become the mirror in which its leaders reflect the terrible mistake at appeasing Adolf Hitler in Munich in 1938. And in order to stifle rampant growth to abate concern and fear, the media in Europe is far worse in censoring what is reported, manufacturing a pan cultural dearth of awareness in social and continental trends in rising Islamism and fascism. When Christians and Jews are under attack by either or, or anyone at all, this is not our idea of a just society, an America in which we once knew well that is no longer one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
For both the Executive and Legislative Branches, the Necessary and Proper Clause will be readdressed and restricted:
The Twelfth Amendment issued the edict that the presidential ticket is to include his vice presidential partner. It states the following:
Why did Bismarck create the idea of the social welfare state that is what we know today as socialism? Perhaps reading his remark better provides understanding to the ends he achieved through its mean:
An American admirer of the new social welfare state that the Kaiser's Germany had become named Frederic Howe inscribed the following in his account of the system titled Socialized Germany:
Yet, the GOP continues to oblige the Democrats by not opposing nor even attempting to negotiate a manner to either avoid or lessen the blow of a debt ceiling increase. The more this trend transpires, the more money is spent and the less our money buys that is apportioned to appropriate items for the public good. Executive overreach and abuse have curtailed any true attempt by Congress to check the Obama administration's activities not so much due to the president's enormous power, but because our elected representatives are, too, complicit in his money laundering, pandering to special interests and the corrupt bargain dealt us while he prospers to great wealth off the backs of those who elected him.
Sound monetary policy and fiscal restraint are the keys to not only ensuring the peace of our world by the utilities responsibly observed by each government, it also leads to more prosperity on average rather than social austerity for those not in power or footing the bill for a false economy of scale to keep the poor, poorer under the guise that the wealthy are growing less rich. A government that refuses to live within its means will borrow from those who toil to ensure it has the funds to squander, and therefore these governments become indebted to their own taxpayers, but rarely reimburse them.
Therefore, a hard economic policy intertwined with strict fiscal controls are imperative and will be proposed as follows:
II. A Call for a Convention of the States
In 1787, the new Constitution of the United States of America was completed and issued for distribution and ratification. On the first day of the summer of 1788 (June 21), New Hampshire ratified the document as the ninth and final minimum required state to do so. On March 4, 1789, the new and current federal government of the United States was launched, its capital in New York City and our collection of some of America's most brilliant minds to set the standards for precedents yet to be. Government was far smaller 225 years ago, but was racked with the burden of a massive debt from the war for independence. Birthed from this conflict in how best to pay down this debt was our First Political Party system waged between the Hamiltonians of the Federalist Party (led by Alexander Hamilton) and the Democratic-Republicans under Thomas Jefferson (Jeffersonians). The debate was whether to create a centralized bank or to oppose, and Hamilton, the Treasury Secretary, championed a central bank. Jefferson feared the rise of such an imposing monolith in government in that it would manufacture a goliath establishment superseding the sovereignty of the people, and as is true today, the core of government's functions and the very litmus test for the democratic process is state control of our currency's flow through monetizing and purchasing an indefinite and unchecked quantity of bonds and securities. Today, as Jefferson feared, the Federal Reserve is the largest source of our federal debt, more than double what America owes the People's Republic of China in terms of our total trade deficit.
The Federalists consolidated the central government's power through corruption. In passing the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, the controversy arose from the pens of Jefferson and his protege and successor as president James Madison's Virginia and Kentucky Resolution the nullification crisis, which eventually led to civil war. To speak against the federal government during the Quasi War with France subjected the American people to imprisonment and their revocation of habeas corpus. The unintended consequence was indeed civil war; it also provided grounds for future debates on states' rights which have piqued a new interest today. And today during the 21st Century, not since the Civil War have the American people sought to reclaim our country and national sovereignty, our authority as the electorate and the general will who tells government what to do and not the other way around. The buck stops with us; we can fire our elected governors when they engage in policies poorly conceived.
The Constitution enables the lone concrete measure for the rights of America's states to topple a tyrannical national government; it is our light switch to turn off when the sun threatens to set on the great American experiment in democratic republicanism.
As our sovereignty is in danger of being subjugated to the whims of a corrupt oligarchy, we no longer have the right for our state legislatures to appoint our United States Senators per the Seventeenth Amendment. Today, the rights of the states have nearly been dissolved, as the Tenth Amendment has been circumvented time and time again in favor of consolidating the federal government's absolute power which grows by the day.
The United States Supreme Court today serves not as a court for legal interpretation, but rather has become a third federal legislative body engaging in judicial activism, not originalism of constitutional legal content. Today, it subverts the rule of law created by legislators, in lieu of imposing a panel of nine justices' de facto common law statutes. Many laws are not at all legal; they are rulings of precedent with no concrete merit. The High Court in concert with our own Congress have circumvented the general will of we the people. The buck now lies upon Harry Truman's successors' desk, and in the case of Barack Obama, under constant scribbling from his pen as he is calling his hitmen on the phone. And while Obama continues to reach out to get in touch with his mob supporters and labor bosses, he is not getting in touch with the most important someones - you, me and the rest of America, those of us among the farmers, poets and sailors residing on Main Street, U.S.A. He has engaged in the final coup d'etat against his employers, we the people.
While the Seventeenth Amendment has destroyed the last vestige of state-influenced representative government and the Tenth Amendment all but having been swept beneath the rug, just one dust bunny from the old document remains which has yet been revoked: Article V. And it is through Article V that we the people have the final say in whether our government at its present modus operandi survives or should be deposed either piecemeal or as a whole.
Article V of the Constitution is the shortest but most powerful tool the American people have always held when the rule of constitutional law might one day be subverted in its place, a dictatorship or oligarchical absolutists. It states this below:
Article. V.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.On April 2, 2014, the blue-state stronghold of Michigan triggered the new shot heard 'round the world when it became the 34th state to approve a convention of the states, meaning it now measured three-fourths who have tired of suffering from business as usual. Atlas had for too long shrugged; America voiced its intent that we the people are prepared to lift that weight on our shoulders to secure the blessings of liberty. Changes both wholesale and in the parts of the whole are necessary, and action will be taken. Business will no longer be conducted as usual.
III. Revision of the Executive and Legislative Power
A democracy's power trends towards defederalizing as time passes; that is a matter of human nature, and that is the trend which must be reconciled and deterred. When a president of the United States unconstitutionally governs unilaterally, it must be checked and stopped dead in his tracks by the other two branches of government. Barack Obama has not only defiled the democratic processes of the will of his electors, he has denied all forms of federal representation through congressional circumvention its voice through their constituency so that he may serve himself as the corrupt Leviathan, alone and absolute. Executive Orders have replaced congressional mandate, an issue which must be rectified for once and all time.
What steps to curtail executive overreach should be taken? I propose the following:
- Require approval of all executive orders issued in order to ensure no executive abuse of power is enforced over that of congressional authority.
- Revocation of all executive privilege for the president of the United States and Cabinet officials.
- Repeal of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
For both the Executive and Legislative Branches, the Necessary and Proper Clause will be readdressed and restricted:
The adjustments are as follows:Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
- No law may be passed and implemented beyond those regarding economic and national defense and security policies. To all other measures which must be addressed, the Tenth Amendment statute will be observed as an absolute policy, as provided below:
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
- Therefore, each state has the right to nullify any law found to be unconstitutional so long as each are consistent as prescribed under both the Necessary and Proper Clause and the Tenth Amendment.
The Twelfth Amendment issued the edict that the presidential ticket is to include his vice presidential partner. It states the following:
This amendment, too, must be repealed. The vice presidency, being too ceremonial since the early days of the people's republic, needs to earn its keep in the federal government or be cut out of the equation. I propose the following alteration in order to engage the vice president in his duty as a political figure:AMENDMENT XIIPassed by Congress December 9, 1803. Ratified June 15, 1804.Note: A portion of Article II, section 1 of the Constitution was superseded by the 12th amendment.The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; -- the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; -- The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. --]* The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.*Superseded by section 3 of the 20th amendment.
- As with the British House of Commons in Parliament, the vice president of the United States must preside over the U.S. Senate as the prime minister over his colleagues. He should lead all activities and bring before the Senate policy proposals. The vice president will no longer be an elected position, but rather one which is appointed by the party in the majority's Chairperson and approved by the Senate.
- In maintaining the spirit of the Twelfth Amendment's purpose, the vice president will retain its role as status quo in its continuity as the president of the Senate.
To be discussed at a later time, the idea that the vice president as the president of the United States Senate may be reconsidered as an appointment by his colleagues. The Seventeenth Amendment, which declares United States Senators are to be elected by way of a plebiscite, should be repealed and the reinstitution of state's rights in employing the Senate as the voice of each state immediately enforced.
IV. Alterations of the United States Congress' Electoral Processes and Term Limits
For every four years of a presidential term, there are two congressional elections in which every member of the House of Representatives must run for reelection as well as reclaim their party's nomination in primaries. This time honored tradition has stood firm and resolute throughout the course of history, while the Senate has drastically become altered as a sub-executive branch gentleman's club. The United States currently recognizes term limits only for the presidency, but many Americans, most affirmatively within the conservative establishment, demand that term limits be placed on each legislator's tenure in office. The Legislative Branch which directly represents the American people at its smallest common denominator has become the single greatest apparatus for an oligarchy of crony capitalists who profit handsomely off the miseries of the constituencies while never rendering change on those they serve. Lobbyists and billionaire entrepreneurs control the power of Washington politics, funding politicians to manifest national pockets of political dynasties in their districts where no other presence has true opportunity to serve their constituents, the residents I call true Americans owning Ma and Pop shops and businesses along Main Street, U.S.A.
In order that each state regain its strength of voice in the federal government, the following must drastically be altered:
- The apportioned statute within AMENDMENT XVII, passed by Congress May 13, 1912. ratified April 8, 1913 modifying Article I, section 3, of the Constitution to repeal the direct popular elections of U.S. Senators by the people and this power returned to state legislatures. Sudden vacancies are also to remain status quo, in direct control of state governors and their legislative branches.
In the interest of returning government of the people, by the people, for the people, it has to be returned and maintained in firm control to we the people. I cannot emphasize enough that we the people rule America, our elected politicians do not tell us what they want us to do. As a result, I propose the following alterations:
- Term limits for members of the House of Representatives are to conclude after 18 consecutive years and only may be re-contested by former congressmen no earlier than six years following last serving in office.
- Term limits for the United States Senate must be limited to three six year terms which added together, grant each a possibility of 18 years in power. Once this period is completed, the outgoing senators may not again be considered for reappointment until his or her seat is again to be revisited at the end of that six year period out of office.
- The present systems for state apportionments of two U.S. Senators and population-based congressional representation will stand. However, as large urban areas often misrepresent the rest of these states' political interests (for example, the Chicagoland area in Illinois causes that state to trend towards electing Democrats to the Senate while the remainder of a primarily rural state vote solidly for the GOP), new districts based upon the size of each metropolitan area will be drawn up to compromise for those misrepresented by more densely populated cities. The compromise will be to grant the District of Columbia full representation as with all other cities in the Electoral College and of course, the House of Representatives. They will not be granted U.S. Senators since they are not states.
Government works for we the people. As Ronald Reagan stated so masterfully and yet in such simple terms as any politician would suffice it to say, be ashamed at how he or she falls far short of this expectation, "We the People tell government what to do; it doesn't tell us." And yet, for more than 100 years, the American people have gladly handed over their sovereignty by empowering lawmakers to rule more absolutely through corrupt bargains and bribery by taxing their incomes and providing nothing of substance in return for what they paid so dearly through their labors with what they could have apportioned better themselves.
V. Deregulating Monetary Policies and Privatization of Federally-Operated Corporations
As stated in the preface to this platform for a new conservative party, the foundation of the American political system was furled within the controversy over establishing a national bank. Alexander Hamilton insisted that to fully consolidate federal controls of all tax revenue and issuance of a single currency, a federal bank centrally positioned would house and disperse funds. In fearing the damage history has recorded to have been incurred by nations with powerful central banking controls, Thomas Jefferson implored that one never be established as it could lead to the piling of one massive debt atop of many generations of others since there was no mentioning of a statute mandating a balanced budget for each fiscal year. Over the course of the subsequent two centuries, Jefferson's concerns have not only proven prophetic, but potentially an axiom for foreshadowing the cause for a post apocalyptic America and world.
In a letter addressed to one letter to Antoine Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy of December 26, 1820, Jefferson advised future generations to not spend beyond what money it draws in revenue:
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."Per usual, the preeminent Founding Father was correct. Four declarations of war plus a handful of conflicts along the Plains versus Western Indian tribes amounted to a fewer total war deaths in combat than World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam combined, alongside other smaller operations. The devaluation of the national currency through printing fiat money has piled high one debt atop of so many others while constant adjustments of interest rates to combat inflation and deflation artificially are injecting more money into the economy with no base unit for value has led to the costs of commodities skyrocketing in price and debts through interests while the monetary supply is virtually worthless by pre-Federal Reserve standards. Enter socialism, the preeminent warmonger Otto von Bismarck's gift beget to the world during his time as German Chancellor.
Why did Bismarck create the idea of the social welfare state that is what we know today as socialism? Perhaps reading his remark better provides understanding to the ends he achieved through its mean:
“My idea was to bribe the working classes, or shall I say, to win them over, to regard the state as a social institution existing for their sake and interested in their welfare.”Thus to the nonrevisionist historians like myself, if Bismarck could bribe the plebiscite into doing with them as he wanted, they would willingly follow the state into any war or nationalized initiative blindly and filled with vigor and trust. Such a trend hit America during the 1890s once Bismarck had imposed such a policy on Germany.
An American admirer of the new social welfare state that the Kaiser's Germany had become named Frederic Howe inscribed the following in his account of the system titled Socialized Germany:
"The state has its finger on the pulse of the worker from the cradle to the grave. His education, his health, and his working efficiency are matters of constant concern. He is carefully protected from accident by laws and regulation governing factories. He is trained in his hand and in his brain to be a good workman and is insured against accident, sickness, and old age. While idle through no fault of his own, work is frequently found for him. When homeless, a lodging is offered so that he will not easily pass into the vagrant class."He did, however, acknowledge socialism's major drawback. It requires that a people forego their right to liberty in order for the state to well-provide for them:
“The individual exists for the state, not the state for the individual. This paternalism does not necessarily mean less freedom to the individual than that which prevails in America or England. [T]he German enjoys a freedom far greater than that which prevails in America or England. This freedom is of an economic sort. . . . It protects the defenseless classes from exploitation and abuse. It safeguards the weak.”Sadly, he is correct. Socialism safeguards the weak and defenseless classes from individuals exploiting each other among the masses. But he never mentioned who provides the tax revenues to ensure socialism might survive. One needs only to recall how Democrats still clamor on "that decade of moral decadence during the 1980s" resulted from the rich growing far more so while the poorer was much worse off than under Jimmy Carter, but then due to what were nearly 20 million new jobs created under Reaganomics, the ratio of taxation was 55% for the wealthiest Americans in the top 10% while the remaining 90% provided the additional 45%. Today under the Obama devolution of American economic policy to Neo-Marxist measures of micromanagement at the central controls, a record 70% and rising of our taxed earnings are paid for by the wealthiest 10% even as their corporations earn record earnings and their own wealth experiencing unprecedented growth due to Obamacare mandates and the trend of states and cities voting to raise the minimum wage causing the layoffs of massive totals of jobs, increased inflation in these areas, food and commodity prices rising ever faster by the month and advent of transhumanism replacing these jobs with machinery and computers due to cost effectiveness. As Obama continues to increase taxation even among the poorest Americans, our federal deficit is 106% of the total GDP; in other words, the federal government is losing money despite record levels of tax revenue from hiked figures and uncontrolled public expenditure programs.
Yet, the GOP continues to oblige the Democrats by not opposing nor even attempting to negotiate a manner to either avoid or lessen the blow of a debt ceiling increase. The more this trend transpires, the more money is spent and the less our money buys that is apportioned to appropriate items for the public good. Executive overreach and abuse have curtailed any true attempt by Congress to check the Obama administration's activities not so much due to the president's enormous power, but because our elected representatives are, too, complicit in his money laundering, pandering to special interests and the corrupt bargain dealt us while he prospers to great wealth off the backs of those who elected him.
Sound monetary policy and fiscal restraint are the keys to not only ensuring the peace of our world by the utilities responsibly observed by each government, it also leads to more prosperity on average rather than social austerity for those not in power or footing the bill for a false economy of scale to keep the poor, poorer under the guise that the wealthy are growing less rich. A government that refuses to live within its means will borrow from those who toil to ensure it has the funds to squander, and therefore these governments become indebted to their own taxpayers, but rarely reimburse them.
Therefore, a hard economic policy intertwined with strict fiscal controls are imperative and will be proposed as follows:
- For every Fiscal Year (FY) in Washington, a budget must be submitted, thoroughly detailed and crafted to be debated regarding the needs which must be reconciled as a matter of providing for the common welfare and national defense.
- The budget must be balanced, with no provisions unless under strictly-enforced guidelines in which that budget may exceed its annual figure, such as in the case of an attack on U.S. territory, with our NATO allies in Europe or South Korea and Japan as well as Taiwan where we currently have defense pact agreements to which we are by our honor committed. All surplus income will be divided into halves, with 50% paying down on national debt and the other redistributed to the American people as its natural stimulus. To override a balanced budget amendment law for one fiscal year only, a majority of 3/4 of both the House of Representatives and the Senate are required.
- The Federal Reserve will be dissolved and all responsibilities to regulate interest rates delineated to individual private banking firms in order to decentralized state control of monetary supply. By this measure, the risk from a fixed source of a systemic economic collapse is greatly decreased as well as the apparatus which serves as the nation's largest holder of federal debt will no longer contribute to further borrowing from the American people's savings or purchasing bonds and securities for matters superfluous to what is necessary to maintain government's daily functions. As well, no federal bailouts or purchases of private enterprise or financial institutions may be transacted, nor any private sector business or corporation ever nationalized through excessive regulations or direct state takeover.
- The Sixteenth Amendment, which provides for a progressive income tax which includes both marriage tax penalties and death taxes, must be repealed as well as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dissolved. Doing so provides the federal government the basis to end legal marriage as defined under any standard so as to resort to its place under the freedom of religion portion of the First Amendment. To take from what civilians earn in order to provide to those who refuse to work only encourages dependency and initiates the rise of financial insolvency for those who do. A indirect tax to be determined at a later time will be enforced that is market driven and prevents the possibility for any taxation on the American people's earnings. The amendment will be provided as follows:
- AMENDMENT XVI
Passed by Congress July 2, 1909. Ratified February 3, 1913.
Note: Article I, section 9, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 16.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
- In accordance to Article I, Section 8, Congress will retain the right to raise taxes for federal revenue, but no longer progressive income taxes in maintaining the spirit of the total repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment. Article I, Section 8 states specifically the following:
All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
- All state-run corporations are to be sold off as shares to the general public at cut rates compared to actual cost per share. All federally-operated banking lenders such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are to also be sold off as shares to the private sector at cut rates compared to the actual cost per share. To do this privatizes public industry and creates the opportunity to own property and have a stake of the financial sector's trends.
- Through Congress alone may any action to engage in a military operation be approved at the request of the president of the United States. It therefore requires that the president present forth a request to engage in any exercise or shift in our national defenses within our borders or internationally, and must be approved by a margin of 3/4 of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
- Because of the sensitivity of warfare's enormous costs, the War Powers Act of 1973 which grants authority to the president of the United States to order military operations against foreign nations is no longer legal; it must require a joint congressional measure to declare any major conflict as war. In our defense agreements with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and in NATO, any act of aggression against our allies is therefore an attack on the United States of America. Therefore, this measure is to be automatic grounds for the president to seek a declaration of war. In abiding by the Monroe Doctrine (1923) and the Roosevelt Corollary (1905), our commitment to the security of the Western Hemisphere will also serve as grounds for a declaration of war. In addressing this interest based upon our treaty with allies under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), it should be proposed that a military alliance be declared with all member states in protecting the national security and trade interests for one and all. No outside interference may rightly impair this arrangement unless a full partnership agreement among the all member states is agreed to.
- Per NAFTA's mandate, no preclusive measures towards entering into energy agreements among any of our partners can be blocked by the president or his administration, and only a simple majority in both chambers of Congress is necessary to approve of U.S. entry in such agreements. Any punitive action by a member nation of NAFTA to impede on U.S. rights to the free engagement of energy exploration and trade must be referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and to the NAFTA regulatory commission.
- All future international trade pacts must be approved by Congress and signed into law by the president.
In ensuring such preventative measures, the object is to avoid warfare so as to prevent massive losses in lives defending a peace that America should never be involved under other circumstances.
VI. Consolidation and Deregulation of Federal Bureaucracies
The Federal Government has become a monolith of titanic proportions, and to suggest it is anything less would deemphasizing the concept of hyperbole. The growing trend in red tape has become a great danger to all who do not meet the prerequisite of an agency in order to acquire political support. Cabinet positions and other regulatory agencies have become bureaucratically inefficient to the point of overlapping into what is not needed. There are federal agencies few are aware exist; the federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI, NSA, DHS and U.S. Marshalls need only to be one complete entity, but fully reined in to protect the American people's Fourth Amendment right to privacy. Probable cause in the war on terror, while well-intended under George W. Bush due to an unprecedented incident with the September 11, 2001 attacks on our domestic soil, have become sources for the present administration's Gestapo, SS as well as the Soviet Union's NKVD and KGB. Rather than denationalizing domestic terrorists having emigrated from overseas, more naturalized American citizens have been targeted for opposing the Obama administration through any one of a number of bureaucracies and Cabinet departments. The rule of law only applies to some, and to those whom it protects, they do not obey it and will exploit others who do through legal fraudulence and illegal surveillance. The trend must end; no American, Democrat or Republican, black or white or Asian and Hispanic, Christian or Jewish or any Muslim who has not been traced to any links with Islamic terrorism will ever again be permitted to live above our law of the land, Constitution, and the state and local authorities. Domestic terrorist organizations and political party establishments proven to support financially or through direct policy from any level of government to be linked to any cell or to organized criminal syndicates will be declared as such and banned through legal law enforcement investigative procedures (issued search and arrest warrants). Any non-U.S. citizen linked to terrorist organizations and organized crime will be arrested and deported, and those who engage in acts of terror will be arrested and tried in military court tribunals as they do not meet the qualifications to be prosecuted as American citizens. To deny any American citizen his or her right to habeas corpus, the president of the United States and any federal official or lawmaker included, Congress alone has the authority to do so, to suspend the right for one or for any organization or the nation. Such prerequisite requires a 2/3 vote for congressional approval and will take effect immediately. Any declaration of martial law is also contingent upon congressional approval and will require a 3/4 vote total from both chambers. Following this, the Bill of Rights cannot be infringed upon in any manner, and the addition of both the right to vote universally at the age of 18 as well as a firm, concrete wall of separation between church and state are to be added as constitutional amendments.
Which Cabinet positions within the Executive Branch to be either consolidated, deregulated or dissolved are arbitrary to how the best apply or relate to others. The following will by my proposal for such measures in order to cut funding and become more cost effective and increase efficiency:
- Vice President - This position is to become the full-time presiding figure in authority in the Senate, to cast the decisive vote in the case of a tie and to lead the processes of debates, roll call voting and managing all senatorial committees including the issuance of chairpersons and casting the 51st and decisive vote in the case of a tie. The vice president will serve as the head of the party in the Senate, appointed by the majority party to serve in such capacity and will no longer be referred to as "vice president", but instead as the Senator Primus.
- Department of State - Remains as status quo.
- Department of Treasury - Remains as status quo.
- Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Department of Transportation - The three departments will be consolidated, as the sole purpose the U.S. Interstate and Highway System was constructed was to ease the processes of mobilizing the armed forces in the case of an invasion or terrorist attack. The interstates will be deregulated on the federal level in harmony with the results with the German Autobahn, with no denoted Speed Limit, but that right is to be exercised at the discretion of each state per the Tenth Amendment. Veterans Affairs will be operated by military medical staff to ensure that a full understand based upon the sensitivity of military injuries or PTSD can be placed into proper perspective and funded adequately.
- Department of Justice and all federal law enforcement agencies will be consolidated and regulated under the control of a central committee which in a vote among the Attorney General and the heads of the Secret Service detail protecting the president and federal lawmakers, FBI and DEA will determine the course of action for investigations and whether or not federal search and arrest warrants are to be obtained.
- Department of the Interior - This agency will sell off all federally-owned land and shut down all Indian reservations before finally being dissolved. It serves no purpose but as the administration's czar for confiscating land paid for by the taxpayers but is declared forbidden to trespassers. Following these policies, it will be dissolved, never again to return in any capacity.
- Department of Agriculture will be dissolved and all authority to regulate domestic initiatives delegated to the state and local levels of civil government, and for those involving international cooperatives to the Department of State.
- Department of Commerce and Department Labor - These will both be consolidated in order to issue economic policies and deal with labor disputes and union corruption and intimidation of workers. A committee will delineate and determine the rights to patents and trademarks as well as busting monopolies to promote fair competition in avoiding rising antitrust issues. The new consolidated Cabinet position will be responsible for regulating the Social Security Administration, including providing an option for all Americans to either pay into the traditional system or to invest in some measure in private stock options, with artificial federal controls to prevent suddenly losses in the prime of any recession.
- Department of Health and Human Services - This will remain in the interest of maintaining controls over Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for any American citizen who is unemployed. No universal health care service will ever be permitted in the wake of the disastrous Affordable Health Care Act and in learning the lessons of the misallocation of monies to treat properly our veterans who fought for and defended our freedom to live in a property-owning democracy. All regulations of health care beyond Medicare and Medicaid are to be delegated to the states, with no exceptions.
- Department of Energy - This will be dissolved and its authority delegated to individual states to establish regulatory agencies based upon need.
- Department of Education - This will not only be dissolved, but all public education school systems gradually privatized through reallocating all tax dollars paid into each state legislature to afford Americans to attend any private school based upon parental prerogative. Additional monies will be provided based upon need to those among the poorest Americans to have the same opportunity to a quality of education, unregulated and to attend any school based upon the same standard for parental prerogative.
- Department of Homeland Security - Dissolved. It has become the president's vehicle to persecute political opposition by force. It now reflects the Gestapo and SS under Adolf Hitler and the KGB and the NKVD in the former Soviet Union.
- The Office of Management and Budget will all be fully engulfed and dissolved through consolidation with the Department of the Treasury as there are no true purposes for additional bureaucracies that overlap due to the rising red tape and growth in public expenditures just to ensure their trending overbearance.
- The Council of Economic Advisers and Small Business Administration will become fully engulfed and dissolved into the Department of Labor as it serves as overlapping bureaucracies perpetuating the overbearance in regulations and ostensible ambiguity of the federal economic policies.
- The U.S. Envoy to the United Nations will be dissolved because no future administration will ever again be legally permitted to participate in the UN organization. The UN has become an international conduit for global Islamic terrorism as well as with organizations like the Irish Republican Army, and is pro-Communist and opposes Israel's right to exist by its own charter from 1948. Once this position is eliminated, the U.S. will fully end its association with the UN and revoke its right to continue setting as its headquarters in New York City.
Our goal is to ensure that government not only operates more efficiently, but with as little risk afforded it to engage in the rising, alarming corruption we today have witnessed under Barack Obama.
VII. Domestic Policy on Trade and Labor Unions
With respect to the rights of trade and labor unions, their power has long overstepped the right of corporate bosses whose capacities to pay for employees have been disproportionately surpassed by their inability to afford the tool and dye for them to manufacture their products. Such policies as supported unconditionally by Democrats for decades have not only led to the death of our industrial capacity to employee workers with skills to serve as the manufacturers of America, but have indeed overlapped into their hegemony in inner cities in cooperating with organized crime and community organizers to employ Marxist tactics in intimidation and even murder in order to grow their power. No Republican has been elected to the mayoral position in Chicago due to this since before World War I; likewise, Detroit, which now resembles the poorest city among developed nations, has not elected any other mayor who was not a Democrat in over 60. Strikes have historically become more militant and deadlier by the decade and risk the full economic collapse of the American free enterprise miracle that long has funded their right to exist. The right to establish collective bargaining agreements no longer is arbitrary to two parties, but rather to labor bosses and the organized crime and federal government which funds their criminal activities. The process of delegitimizing the awesome labor power has succeeded in its launch under Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) in Wisconsin and has now spread to California, where teachers are engaging in the same movement to thwart big labor and trade unions.
In 1979, the United Kingdom experienced its Winter of Discontent when militant coal miners and industrial trade unions engaged in strikes even as the subverted the Labour Government of Prime Minister Jim Callaghan's brokerage of the social contract. Their methods were indeed Marxist; cars would be stopped in the middle of streets, the driver and passengers forcibly removed and often beaten and sometimes killed in an effort to intimidate Parliament to concede to their demands. Those who dared cross picket lines were met with even worse fates, while even the garbage collection services in London as one man put it left as high as 10 feet piles of trash on the city streets while on strike. The economy had been brought to its knees as Britain's financial insolvency resulted in the Callaghan Government handing over its monetary duties and economic policies to the IMF. When Margaret Thatcher ascended to the role of prime minister, her platform would drastically change the British economy from one of socialism causing the country to fall into the abyss of communism to one where it now has become the healthiest economy among G7 nations through Thatcherism's gift of free enterprise and democracy. She also crippled trade unions from ever usurping power over Westminster's authority again, as their power is virtually nonexistent, having never recovered following the Thatcher standard of arming police forces with immense rioting gear and pulling the plug on the social contract.
Through labor unions in Detroit may you find another outlet for the Islamic terrorist community from Dearborn to attain greater and more fundamentally damaging power. Dearborn, MI is the nation's largest Islamic community and a home for violent crimes from rape to honor killings on a scale yet to be revealed ostensibly by our media nationally. It is crucial that all ties to not only organized crime and corruption in government, but also to Islamic terrorism to be finally severed once and for all time. How this will be accomplished is a very dangerous strategy that may never fully destroy their presence in America's crawl, but will be offered as a point to start so as to be adjusted as time surpasses.
- The point for debate must begin with dissecting the Wagner Act of 1938. Within it lies the legal right to unionize as was passed by Congress and signed into law by Franklin Delano Roosevelt the last year his focus was on the economy. That year, the economy retracted to pre-FDR levels of unemployment and poverty due to the New Deal initiatives never yielding any measure economic growth and the printing presses cranking out valueless money overtime to pay for workers to engage in employing themselves. It was a win-win for Democrats and big labor unions like the UAW and the AFL-CIO who may legally intimidate and do harm unto workers refusing to pay their membership dues, even turning blind eyes to suspicious murders in order to grow their power base in the large urban areas. The First Amendment right to a peaceful assembly was in essence rejected and destroyed by passing the Wagner Act of 1938, and as a result. labor and trade unions have militarized, mobilized through community organizers and the Mafia to strike fear into the hearts of those who choose to cross the picket lines of both they and their own city councils and mayors. Without unions, the Democratic Party could never survive as a force for militancy and murder in America since their power base resides in the largest urban areas across the nation. The goal to repeal the Wagner Act of 1938 may be impossible, but as Gov. Walker has proven in defying his own physical safety as well as his family's, there are many ways to cripple their ability to thrive and survive.
- The goal to fundamentally cripple corrupt militant unions will be modeled after the Walker standard. Deregulating the right for unions to require as an absolute all employees of an industry to pay in dues as a member by force must be passed and declared a criminal act to place such dissenters on "scab lists". The check that must serve as the mate to the imbalance in favor of union power in collective bargaining agreement negotiations cannot be achieved by government or union leaders who are in a strategic partnership, but rather by the American people who do not approve of their corruption.
- Lastly, no union can legally be permitted to require through coercive compulsion to force employees to be union members without due process of law. To be employed by union businesses is to slip into the role of nationalizing the private sector the back door. To ensure unions do not strike under any conditions violently through militant force, all police forces will be armed heavily with rioting gear and more arms to contain the dangers unions pose.
To continue to permit militant trade and labor unions in conjunction with community organizers, organized crime and inner-city political machines to topple what little industry remains is to cripple American self-reliance upon its very capable means to achieve our own goals will continue expanding international trade deficits to foreign economic powers like China and Japan. To have hope to end America's decadence as a debtor nation is to one day become the nation to whom foreign states become indebted. The more foreign debts spiral higher out of control, the greater the prospect for warfare there will be. The prospect of energy independence will surely aid this surge as America - the world's largest supplier of oil and third in terms of crude - could employ the Keystone XL in concert with Canada to employ this leverage in order to engage in negotiations to alleviate this problem.
VIII. Reforming the U.S. Supreme Court
At present, the U.S. Supreme Court continues to abuse more egregious its role as the interpreters of the Constitution by way of de facto legislating laws on the basis of social justice through revising the original document. Constitutional lawyers, historians and political scholars refer to this as judicial activism, and it has created an uncanny standard for manufacturing laws, not upholding or killing unconstitutional statutes. Laws not on the legal record are so due to the High Court setting its agenda against the republic, killing the federalist standard upon which this great nation was founded.
There are a number of issues to reconcile with respect to the U.S. Supreme Court. Should there a time limitation for each justice? What about each court justice ascending to his or her position by popular vote? With respect to the High Court, I prefer to maintain the status quo. The High Court lasts for a few years as it is at any present point, but as most are elderly and either die or retire, new blood is added with modern positions on the issues most affecting Americans. In maintaining the spirit of the Judiciary Branch, their job description along will be adjusted in terms of "how" and not "what".
The following recommendations are to be made for the convention to consider in revising the Constitution per Article V:
- The U.S. Supreme Court and its subordinate appellate courts will only address federal laws legislated by Congress and signed into effect by the president. The standard of federal overbearance on the rights of the states to exercise the Tenth Amendment principle of nullification due to the unconstitutionality of federal laws must be returned to the people per their colloquial cultural trends and values legally at unprecedented levels never before enjoyed under the present Constitution. The Article of Confederation granted enormous power to each of the original 13 states, but too much led to the national assembly having little power to engage in foreign policy and trade, much less national defense, due to each state being independent in issuing currency and regulating interstate commerce.Aside from unconstitutional laws very reasonably granting to each state the right to nullify from Washington, no court case originating under the state or local jurisdictions can be addressed at the U.S. Supreme Court unless states violate any amendments to the federal Constitution.
- Only state courts may try or hear cases by each individual state and local municipality's legal statute's standards. State and local laws can only be tried so far as the limit of the state supreme courts permit. Only state or local statutes found to be unconstitutional to the federal Constitution can be address at the federal levels. As several states and local governments elect their judges, the spirit of maintain the cultural imperative at all levels is the intent, but for the previously mentioned lone exception.
IX. Foreign Policy with Respect to National Defense and Military Initiatives
Most crucial to the plight of all governments is to ensure diplomatic relations with foreign states must be cordial and strategic with respect to trade and our national security. Much can be said by reacquiring economic independence with respect to America's potential to become history's greatest energy superpower and to work towards reacquiring our industrial might. Labor unions have crippled the capacity of the latter; our left-wing foes within the environmentalist fringe have hampered the former. The Democrats continue to obstruct the capacity of American ingenuity in both fields either through those militant trade and labor unions and, of course, the greatest capacity ever to ensure the American people never again fall prey to an OPEC-style of oil embargo. Democrats, however, only advocate totalitarian controls over all facets of the economy so they may ensure that through the lies they may diffuse of conservative detachment from land and biodiversity conservationism, it is better to continue suffering through statist dependency than to harm land that will never be touched due to their tax dollars squandering what we the people may be shot dead if we are found trespassing.
No more crucial imperative than securing our borders must be addressed and reestablished as soon as possible. A nation without borders is no longer a nation, but a de facto pan statist model that soon will result in a massive statist empire. How might this be addressed? Consider the following:
- All territorial borders must be secured and tightened to where no illegal alien may safely cross over without facing the fate naturalized Americans face for trespassing. Because of this, the southern border with Mexico must be militarized with strict orders to shoot any illegal alien on sight should all warnings fail to coerce their reversal of course. This will not exclude women or adolescents, though children will be recovered and such issues reconciled on individual bases.
- Along the Canadian border, stricter controls will be enforced with regards to passport regulations and more concrete and firm security presences. As Canada's own parliament was hit by an Islamist, the U.S. must spare no task too menial because national security is never a sacred obligation too great. Americans seeking to cross over both the Canadian and Mexican borders will also be scanned for greater security purposes in order to prevent the escape of criminals to foreign states with no extradition treaties with the U.S. There is the necessity too to ensure America's partners comprised of the NAFTA treaty must be protected from any unforeseen terrorist migration where none is wanted because terrorism affects all people.
- Foreigners with work visas may continue to find employment under the condition that like any immigrant working towards citizenship, they too must pay taxes and never confiscate even one penny of the American taxpayers' earnings. As a result, all candidates for citizenship must procure a job within 183 days (or approximately one-half of a year) of settlement or face deportation in order to prevent rises in welfare abuse and corruption. Foreigners who are laid off may apply for the same standard for unemployment benefits, but once their grace period concludes, they will face deportation. No non-naturalized resident will be granted the right to habeas corpus than those born or are citizens of the U.S. possess in order to mitigate counterterrorism initiatives, while the law granting automatic naturalization for infants born to illegal aliens or non-citizens will no longer apply due to frequent welfare abuse. Denying foreigners the right to habeas corpus prevents excessive abuses to American civilians whose Fourth Amendment rights are now being violated.
- No immigration is permitted from states tied to either serving as bases or sponsorship of terrorism.
Our strategic partnership with the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO) will continue with respect to securing our allies from Russian aggression while deterring the threat of terrorism to enter across the Bosporus Strait or major European airports. The level will be contingent with the following to be crucial and absolute policies set forth by our serving as the key power in the alliance:
- The Republic of Turkey, being tied to Islamic terrorism, must have its membership in NATO revoked and declared an international state sponsor for global terrorism. Any invasion by a militant force in the Middle East threatens the stability and security of Europe and the U.S. In order to prevent such a measure, the European border at the Bosporus Strait must be militarized and fortified to ensure Turkish aggression or any militant Islamist forces to invade Europe and threaten her through jihadist conquest.
- At the borders of the far eastern states of NATO, the U.S. and NATO allies must redeploy nuclear missiles to counter those reset along the Russian borders with its former Soviet satellite states. Ukraine must be permitted to determine its course, to side with Moscow or enter the European Union and the NATO community. All other states along the same front with Russia must be permitted to determine their destiny in order to prevent Russian expansion into the Slavic states through militarism and force.
- The same policy for a newly-adopted foreign immigration initiatives must be adopted in Europe and all illegal aliens deported upon location immediately. The rise of Islamic militancy in Europe continues to prove a national security threat for the U.S. and those of its NATO allies. Only through the deportation of illegal aliens of all nationalities may the hope for securing NATO member borders be restored.
- All protectionist pacts with non-NATO nations found to be state sponsors of international terrorism must be ended. Under no condition must NATO, the European Union and the U.S. continue to engage in enabling such nations through trade and defense partnerships. The goal for energy interdependence within the alliance must comprise of the main goal to devolve all dependence upon OPEC oil through strategic trade initiatives through the U.S.'s historical capacity to monopolize the global energy market in partnership with EU-based corporations.
American dominance within the Western Hemisphere's political and trade sphere will continue with respect to meeting its obligations as a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The U.S. strategic partnership with Canada must grow stronger than ever before through formally entering in the Keystone XL pipeline promise for unprecedented prosperity and free all energy dependence upon OPEC oil hegemony. Once this is accomplished, all connections with the Arab League will be severed; our commitment with our allies in Israel will be reestablished, strengthened and new opportunities for trade in its booming energy industry to provide an unprecedented opportunity for Israeli economic strength and provisions for new military and security technologies. The American foreign policy will detract from Arab League states due to the lack of interest in oil cooperation no longer mandating that the military be on high alert in counterterror measures beyond the Bosporus Strait or Israel's borders.
With respect to the Asia-Pacific Rim, the following are crucial:
- America's commitment must grow and expand to unprecedented levels of force and activity in conjunction with allies in Japan and South Korea. Full military capacity must be restored to Japan, but the pact we hold through our base at Okinawa will remain as contingent to this guarantee that the partnership remains fruitful. A defense pact between the U.S., Japan and South Korea to deter the emerging threat of continual Russian and Chinese-partnership military and economic shifts to shut out trade and expand through force must be formed, with Taiwan once again recognized as a sovereign state ruled under democratic virtues in orders to provide a buffer along the Formosa Strait to deter Chinese aggression into the South China Sea as Japan has historical ties to the Island of Formosa.
- The Philippines should be included in this new partnership as a joint initiative of establishing greater U.S. cooperation with Manila's military's presence will provide yet another zone to deter Chinese expansion. Negotiations with Vietnam, an old enemy but under threat by Beijing of engulfing its capacity to press forth in free enterprise reform in oil, must commence and a new understanding and strategic partnership to not merely surround China around its southeastern periphery, but to heal old wounds and to work towards more popular democratization or at least a role by their peoples to determine the course of Hanoi's direction.
- The most crucial partnership must be developed with India, which now is in conflict diplomatically with China and growing ever closer to Japan in friendship. India stands to surpass China in total population in a matter of years, not to mention the same regarding the economy. Its military is mighty and large and can serve as the final means to surround China as a deterrent to its expansion into Central Asia. As Pakistan has pledged to aid Beijing with Islamic terrorists in the Uighur region and further persecution of Tibetan monks becomes ever more problematic, such a shift stands to align the U.S. foreign policy with potentially Bangladesh as well as engage in dissolving diplomatic ties with member states failing to curb the drug trade within the Golden Triangle.
- Maintaining ties with Afghanistan with dates to the 1979 Soviet invasion must continue and the government in Kabul strengthened and the economy, expanded, must as the Marshall Plan after World War II was able to achieve for war-torn Europe. Through greater economic prosperity in providing the means to achieve that goal, the trend towards engaging in further illicit opium harvests and the terrorism which so greatly profits off it will create a strong, free and independent nation which will have the liberty to choose its direction as our partnership in preventing Chinese and Islamic terrorist expansion and potential partnership. The pressure must continue on Pakistan to perpetuate its commitment to democratization and to press forth in its initiatives to crush terrorism once and for all time. The promise this initiative creates also buttresses the American presence along the Iranian border in the west to pressure Tehran into diffusing its nuclear ambitions and repressive tactics in funding sporadic attacks in this region of Afghanistan.
The purpose is not merely to engage in a geopolitical shift into the Asia-Pacific theatre, but to expand into Southwest Asia and Asia Minor to counteract and suppress Iranian expansionist designs through a potential coup d'etat as with the Pakistani ISI (Inter-State Intelligence) in 1992 installing the Taliban in power as a buffer state when President George H.W. Bush failed to do so in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's evacuation in February 1989.
The commitment to preserving American interests in the Western Hemisphere per the Monroe Doctrine (1823) and the Roosevelt Corollary (1905) is crucial to precluding transglobal aggression from Iran, China and Russia as each have deployed their naval fleets over the past year-plus. During the winter, Russian warships docked in Havana Harbor while the fledgling fleet deployed from Iran entered U.S. maritime waters. Neither were met with resistance nor any measurable concern; the president's complacency and wanton care for national security and the oldest foreign policy commitment served as a potentially-devastating catastrophe as with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Adolf Hitler at Munich in 1938 ("there is peace in our time."). The U.S. Naval presence must be increased off the coast of South Florida adjacent to the Keys and beyond the Annapolis corridor both north and south. Sanctions must be at the ready for any foreign adversary endeavoring its geopolitical shift to undermine American interests, which includes interference within the NAFTA pact.

Finally, ties to strengthen our special relationship with the United Kingdom must be vigorously pursued through a cooperative trade and defense pact which includes all English-speaking states. This would comprise of the following:
- The United States
- The United Kingdom
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand
- India
Such a commitment could solidify a full-scale geopolitical shift as British Commonwealth states are locate on each continent, in all hemispheres. With diplomatic ties between Britain and India strained with China, the partnership would be the most important not only for all states involved, but globally. U.S. and British naval fleets have strongholds in the Atlantic and Pacific, the North Sea and in the Mediterranean based at Gibraltar. Australia also serves as a representative and could partner with the U.S. and British navies to apply pressure against Beijing, while India's fleet would patrol the Indian Ocean as well as the Arabian Sea. Any state considered a Global South developing country could benefit from installations of free enterprise capitalist systems consistent with other members nations as part of the agreement's conditions. Each nation's human rights record is crucial and should be considered before granted admission to the trade/defense alliance.
