The media and Town Crier Committees joined forces to prepare a review of the perils that faced the nation of December 7, 1941 and the perils that he nation faces today. The article will be included in the next issue of the Town Crier Committee Report. At the request of the Chairman Heimbold, it is included here in observation of 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
Seventy years ago today, our nation was faced external forces that threaten our very existence. Today we are faced with internal forces of equal perils. Seventy years ago, we had a president very similar, philosophically, to the one we have today. Both Presidents governed or are governing with a total disregard of the Constitution. Both governed or are governing with the same intimidating style. The crash and depression of those times is similar to the crash and depression of our times. The major difference is the currency manipulation. Mr. Roosevelt tried to manipulate the currency, with executive orders, to hide his failed policies, but was largely prevented because the currency was still backed by gold. The result was twelve years of his governmental pain. Today our President has no such restriction, and to hide the failure of recent administrations, both Republican and Democratic, he has willfully overloaded the system with worthless paper pretending to be money. The result will be devastating to the poor and middle class. In the chaos that is about to appear the question will be which way we will we choose, Constitutional governance or a totalitarian system? The president of the United States and the prime minister of Great Britain came out onto the south portico of the White House in 1941 to light the national Christmas tree and to give a Christmas greeting to an uncertain world.” History has shown that the prime minister understood what Liberty is about; perhaps he got it from his American mother. Clearly the President did not understand. The Prime Minster mentioned in this piece had this to say about where the Federal Government of 1941 took us and the government of 2011 wants to take us.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill
