During the time our nation was being created, Benjamin Franklin made the following observation:
"Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice—the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but, when united in view of the same object, they have, in many minds, the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall, at the same time, be a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it."
Franklin understood human nature and realized that in order for the newly found republic to succeed, the people would need to choose virtuous leaders who were motivated by their love of liberty rather than the love of money and power.
Political parties were created by the financial elite for their benefit. The rich and powerful dominate the political landscape in the United States because they control the political parties.
Abandoning the Republican and Democratic parties to create a new party would be like abstaining from arsenic and cyanide and switching to a different poisonous beverage.
It's clear that greedy men and women have been recruited by the International bankers to serve the goals of the elite and powerful and enslave the nation to pay for it. These are precisely the individuals whom Benjamin Franklin warned us about.
In order to create a mechanism whereby their candidates could be elected, the bankers established political parties. They knew that if they could convince the people that political parties were essential they could use the resulting power to enslave the American people.
Ridding the world of Yellow Fever was not accomplished by killing the mosquitoes one at a time; the disease was conquered when the swamps were drained. The system of political parties is the breeding ground of crime and corruption in government. In order to attract willing servants, the bankers bait the hook with money.
Politics is a system of policies that divide people into groups of individuals who are unwilling or unable to think and act for themselves. They become part of a mob who seek to exploit others in order to obtain special benefits and privileges.
The candidates who are elected to Congress are not necessarily the most qualified, they are usually just the ones who are able to raise the most money. We need to find a way to improve the quality of those who serve in Congress.
In every precinct we should determine which individuals truly know and understand the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. We need to identify men and women of integrity who understand what it means to be ethical.
It has been said that "Politics is the art of compromise." The principles upon which our nation was founded were written by the hand of God and cannot be repealed or compromised.
As I see it, the only hope for a restoration of our Constitutional Republic is to abolish all political parties. By draining the swamp, we can purify the political landscape and regain control of the government that has been exploiting us for so many years. Political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution. In fact George Washington and James Madison warned us against political factions, knowing they would create division rather than unity among the people.
Power in the hands of unethical men and women is a dangerous thing. George Washington once stated "Government is like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
