WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRAT AM I?

“Bush is my shepherd. I am in want. He maketh me to lie down on park benches. He leadeth me besideth the still factories. He restoreth my doubt in the Republican party. He leadeth me in the party of destitution for his party’s sake. I fear no evil for thou art with me. The politicians and the profiteers they frighten me. Thou preparest a reduction in my salary before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my income with taxes; my expense runeth over. Surely unemployment and poverty will follow me all the days of the Republican administration and I will dwell in a mortgaged house for ever.” (Revised Psalm-Author Unknown)

What kind of Democrat am I? A Blue Dog? A Jeffersonian? A Liberal? A Conservative? A Populist? A New Democrat? A Dixiecrat?

I, Vic Roberts, do not ascribe to political labels; generally speaking I tend to respond to political issues as right or wrong, as I perceive right or wrong, not a political label; however, rest assured I am not a Blue Dog (quasi Republican) Democrat, nor am I a New Democrat puppet politician for the New World Order. Indeed, what kind of Democrat am I? I believe the answer to that question can be found in the words of William Jennings Bryan in his July 9, 1896 “Cross of Gold” message when he said, “There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below”.

(Personal note: That is the Republican Party’s “trickle-down theory” today, just as it has been for over a 100 years, even though it has proven, for generations, to be policy that is against the common good of our citizens, and the general welfare of our great nation. The Republican’s trickle-down theory is the motive behind most Republican economic legislation, legislation that only adds more wealth to those who need it the least-the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The only thing that leaks through from the rich Republican’s tables are crumbs, and even those they want compensation for; compensation from the poor. In other words the Grand Old Republican Party’s philosophy is: Let the government help of the rich and the rich will take care of the poor. Like in slavery? Conversely, the Democratic Party’s philosophy is: Let the government help the weak and poor and the strong and rich will take care of themselves.)

Cross of Gold, “The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the
masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests on them.”

(Personal note: Amen to that bit of wisdom; however, many current Washington politicians’ voting record’s are indistinguishable between New World Order controlled Democrats and Republicans. For instance most so-called New Democrats and Republicans advocate such New World Order projects as FTAA, NAFTA, WTO, IMF, GATT, UN, WORLD COURT, open immigration policies, free trade policies, especially the Permanent Normal Trade Relations Status with China legislation, legislation that benefits the organized wealth of the Wall Street bankers, global financiers and industrialists, the global financial Mafia collectively known as the New World Order, the evil empire Imperial Gods of the Global Economy, those whose will it is to make proletarians of us all who are not their disciples; those whose plan it is to rule the world, by controlling the world’s money and economy with their Cross of Gold, the Federal Reserve Bank System.

Because New World Order legislation is typical Republican type of legislation, we expect Republicans to support it; however, many politicians elected as Democrats, especially so-called New Democrats, not only failed to fight that legislation but actually advocated and actively supported it. Indeed, many top level Democratic and Republican political leaders have transformed, and are continuing to transform their Parties into institutions of self-proliferation; Parties which are representing only their interests, and the interests of their campaign contribution financial angels. Thus, monopolizing and subverting our nation’s political process as they transform their political Parties into organizations that no longer represent us citizens.)

Cross of Gold:

“Mr Carlise said in 1878 that this was a struggle between the idle holders of idle capital and the struggling masses, who produce the wealth and pay the taxes of the country; and my friends, the question we are to decide is: Upon which side shall the Democratic Party fight; upon the side of the idle holders of idle capital or upon the side of the struggling masses? That is the question which the party must answer first, and then it must be answered by each individual hereafter. The sympathies of the Democratic Party, as shown by the platform, are on the side of the struggling masses who have ever been the foundation of the Democratic Party. The man who is employed is as much a business man as the corporation council in a great metropolis; the merchant at the crossroads store is as much a business man as the merchant of New York; the farmer who by the application of brain and muscle to the natural resources of the country creates wealth and is as much a business man as the man on the Board of Trade; the miners who go deep in the earth or high on cliffs and bring forth from their hiding places the precious metals to be poured in the channels of trade are as much business men as the few financial magnates who, in a back room, corner the money of the world. We speak for this broader class of business men”

.
(Personal note: The statement, "the few financial magnates who, in a back room, corner the money of the world” is strong documentation that elite Wall Street bankers and global financier money masters, yes, the global financial Mafia, the New World Order, was actively controlling the money of the world, just as they are today, as far back as July of 1896.)

Cross of Gold:

“Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who live upon the Atlantic Coast, but the hardy pioneers who have made the desert to bloom as a rose-the pioneers who rear their children near nature’s heart-out there where they have erected schoolhouses for the education of their young, churches where they praise their creator, and cemeteries where rests the ashes of their dead-these people, we say are deserving of consideration of our party as any in the country. It is for these we speak. We do not come as aggressors. Our war is not a war of conquest; we are fighting in defense of our homes, our families, and posterity. My friends, in this land of the free you need not fear a tyrant will spring up from among the people. What we need is an Andrew Jackson to stand, as Jackson stood, against the encroachments of organized wealth”.

(Personal note: Friends, do not fear that a tyrant will rise from among the people, but do fear encroachments from the organized wealth of the global financial Mafia known as the New World Order. The land of the free: free to be subjugated by the bastion of repressive conservatism of the New World Order controlled politician’s political appointee tyrannical and dictatorial imperialistic U.S. Supreme Court Judges, which is a legal dictatorship draped in the mantle of legality. Yes, we are free to pay taxes that will be used to pay a billion dollars a day, as interest only, on a national debt owed mostly to New World Order Wall Street bankers and global financiers, the Mafia of the global financial world. We are free to be their economic slaves; free to pay exorbitant taxes used to support a US government that is a tool for the New World Order. We are free to lose our national sovereignty to New World Order projects such as WTO, NAFTA, WORLD COURT, and the United Nations to name only a few. We are free to vote for the New World Order’s campaign contribution legally bought and paid for politicians, politicians who in return reward many of the world’s richest and most powerful corporations and wealthy elite with huge tax breaks and concessions, especially when they move their businesses to slave labor conditions of Third World countries, and we are free to buy the global industrialist Third World counties produced products that were imported into the United States, virtually unrestricted, to compete with our domestic produced products.

Indeed, the land of the free, where we voters are free to elect and re-elect the Washington
puppet politicians who have carefully engineered, to New World Order specifications, free trade policies, including, but not limited to, NAFTA, WTO, and especially the Permanent Normal Trade Relations Status with China legislation.)

Cross of Gold:

“They tell us that this platform was made to catch votes. We reply that changing conditions make new issues; that principles upon which Democracy rests are everlasting as the hills, but they must be applied to new conditions as they arise. Conditions have arisen, and we are here to meet those conditions”.

(Personal note: Conditions have, indeed, arisen and we of the American struggling masses must now rise in a revolution of righteous hostility at the ballot box; a revolution against the arrogant tyrannical exploitation of private financialism; a revolution of righteous hostility that will break the bonds of our economic servitude to the organized wealth of the global financial Mafia, the New World Order. Yes, we must have a revolution that will free our children and grandchildren from the legacy of the tyrannical economic slavery we are bestowing upon them through tolerating the beguiling and bane Federal Reserve Bank System, and the resulting catastrophic colossal national debt. This financial slavery is a new kind of slavery, and as long as it exists we citizens can proclaim our physical freedom and talk about our political liberty, all in vain and inconsequential, until there is a revolution that will bring financial independence and security so that we may all enjoy the God-given abundance which our great nation is blessed with.)

Cross of Gold:

“They say we are opposing national bank currency; it is true. We say in our platform that we believe that the right to coin and issue money is a function of government. We believe it. We believe that it is a part of sovereignty, and can no more with safety be delegated to private individuals than the power to make penal statutes or levy taxes. Those who are opposed to this proposition tell us that the issue of paper money is a function of the bank, and that government ought to stay out of the banking business. I stand with Jefferson rather than with them, and tell them, as he did that the issue of money is a function of government, and that the banks ought to go out of the governing business."

(Personal note: I, Vic Roberts, too, stand with Jefferson rather than with them and tell them, as he did, that the issue of money is a function of the government, and that the banks ought to go out of the governing business.

In 1913, as now, corrupt campaign contribution legally bought and paid for Washington puppet politicians were loyal to their big money Wall Street banker and global financial masters when they came up with the ingenious scheme to defraud us American citizens through the Federal Reserve Bank System. A scheme a nefarious Congress passed on December the 23^rd in 1913, a time when the good and honorable Congressmen who opposed the corrupt legislation were at home celebrating the Christmas holidays with family and friends. I wonder what kind of bonus the New World Order money masters gave their loyal flunky Washington puppet politicians in appreciation for their gift of the villainous Federal Reserve Bank System?

The wrong is great, the action for right must be equally great; therefore, we citizens must have a revolution of righteous hostility that will change the present banking system that is conceived upon a principle of exploitation, one without tender mercies, one with cold hearted finance which continues its policies of concentrating wealth in the hands of a few, at the expense of us of the exploited masses, who must now rise in a revolution of righteous hostility which will teach those who control money, wealth and power the fact that labor owes no rights to capital, unless capital performs its duty toward labor. Yes, we must have a revolution of righteous hostility that will create an economic system where workers are not forced into total poverty because there is no work at a profit for their employer; a revolution that will bring a just wage for labor from a justly divided industrial profits.)

Cross of Gold:

“If they ask us why we do embody in our platform the things we believe in, we reply that when we have restored the money of the constitution all other necessary reforms will be possible, but until this is done there is no other reform that can be accomplished”

(Personal note: History has proven that statement to be true. The Federal Reserve Bank System has been a conveyor of destruction. Instead of rescuing finance from the hands of politicians, it betrayed it into the bondage of financial overlords, the Imperial Gods of the Global Economy, the New World Order, yes, those of the global financial Mafia who have placed a crown of financial thorns upon the brow of us American struggling masses; global financial Mafia overlords who are crucifying us on their Cross of Gold-the Federal Reserve Bank System.

The privately owned Federal Reserve Bank System is obsessed with the single mania of
manipulating the privately controlled credit of the nation for private profit. Their policies have
fostered and protected a dishonest dollar, have expanded and contracted credit at will and have filled the vaults of local banks with worthless securities.

The time has come if Congressmen refuse to legislate against the concentration of wealth
created by the Federal Reserve Bank System, and for a more fair distribution of profits, then we are perfectly justified in accusing them of selling the temple to the bankers, as well as being betrayers of their constituents trust. If we of the American struggling masses do not have a democratic political revolution of righteous hostility and defeat the New World Order controlled Washington puppet politicians at the ballot box they will continue to defeat us; indeed, if we do not conquer those crusading apostles for the evil empire Imperial Gods of the Global Economy they will conquer us. Friends, reason is the only conqueror that does not rule slaves, but in fact reason becomes the servant of the conquered; therefore, fellow ballot box revolutionists, in our revolution of righteous hostility, let us conquer through reason.)

Cross of Gold:

“No private character, however pure, no personal popularity, however great, can protect from the avenging wrath of an indignant people a man who is willing to surrender the right of self government and place the legislative control of our affairs in the hands of foreign potentates and powers”.

(Personal note: Indeed, we indignant people of the American struggling masses must have a democratic revolution of righteous hostility at the ballot box because it is the right thing to do; we must have a revolution that will evict those New World Order’s corrupt traitorous Washington puppet politicians who are surrendering the American peoples right to self government and legislative control of our affairs into the hands of foreign potentates and powers, through their legislative support of such New World Order projects as NAFTA, FTAA, WTO, IMF, GATT, World Bank, World Court, open immigration policies, free trade policies, especially the Permanent Normal Trade Relations Status with China legislation, above all else, their support of the United Nations, which is the New World Order’s One World Government that is presently taking control of the world.)

Cross of Gold:

“When I find a man who is not willing to bear his share of the burdens of government which protects him, I find a man who is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours.”

(Personal note: A government like ours: A government where a presidential candidate can
win a huge majority popular vote, but the losing candidate is virtually appointed (and none dared to call it treason) President of the United States of America by five imperialistic US Supreme Court Judges, who themselves are political appointees of the New World Order’s Washington
puppet politicians; indeed, and none dared to call it treason.

A government like ours: A government that gives mega billions of our taxpayer dollars to New World Order controlled politicians in foreign countries, through so-called foreign aid and debt forgiveness, while treating our own citizens almost criminal when they ask for welfare assistance for mere subsistence.

A government like ours: A government whose repressive police state protectors often
greet peaceful citizen protesters with police provocateurs who are in the crowd purposely inciting the police, in order that the puppet politicians police-state protectors and enforcers can use the New World Order’s controlled media to justify and propagandize the use of a barrage of rubber bullets, water cannons, concussion bombs, stun-guns, clouds of tear gas, and pepper spray, along with a multitude of unjustified and often illegal brutal arrests; all of which is a New World Order controlled government’s enforcer’s conspiracy to repress, humiliate, intimidate, harass, and manipulate the peaceful protesters in the name of hostile-crowd control.

A government like ours: A government that claims huge budget surpluses while our national debt is trillions of dollars, much of which is owed to foreigners.

A government like ours: A government that is virtually owned by the super rich of the world because of our nation’s tragic campaign finance laws.

A government like ours: A government that is being manipulated by the shadow ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT of the New World Order; a government with free trade policies that are sending American manufacturing jobs and technology to Third World countries; free trade policies which are creating colossal unsustainable trade deficits, and higher national debt; a national debt that requires a billion dollars a day for interest payments alone. A national debt of trillions of dollars, 40% of which is owed to foreigners, mostly New World Order global financiers, financiers who can and will one day call in the debts owed by the US government, thus, crashing our national economy; then they will buy our American heritage, a legacy that should belong to our children and grandchildren, at virtual give-away-prices.

Are we Americans going to tolerate the conditions that William Jennings Bryan described when he said, "We have petitioned, and our petitions have been scorned, we have entreated, and our entreaties have been disregarded; we have begged, and they have mocked when our calamity came.”
I, Vic Roberts, ask: Are we of the exploited American struggling masses capable of enduring the repressive humiliation, harassment and intimidation, pain and suffering inflicted by the storm trooper type of enforcers of the New World Order’s politician’s police state; yes, in order to prevail do we have the fortitude to endure those atrocities in order to stand shoulder to shoulder in the spirit of the words of William Jennings Bryan when he said, "We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them”? Yes, we of the American struggling masses must defy them with a democratic political revolution at the ballot box because it is the right thing to do, for the good of ourselves, and the legacy we leave to our children and grandchildren. Indeed, we will defy them at the ballot box because it is the right thing to do.

I, Vic Roberts, invite you to join with me in dedicating a portion of our lives to the formidable, epic and heroic challenge of bringing about a democratic political revolution at the ballot box someday soon; a revolution that will seek to end oppression, injustice, and poverty throughout our great nation; a ballot box revolution that will defeat the New World Order controlled Washington puppet politicians, those crusading apostles of the evil empire of the Imperial Gods of the Global Economy, the global financial Mafia, the New World Order.

If we of the struggling masses do not join in revolution for our own causes the New World Order will buy our oppression and subjugation very cheaply.

What kind of Democrat am I? I am a Democrat who believes as Congressman Dennis
Kucinich when he said in his “A New Horizon for the Democratic Party” message: From the darkness that is Enron, I see a new day dawning in energy in America. I see a new horizon, where the American community consciously chooses sustainability and ushers in a new era of power, of solar, of wind, of hydrogen and other renewable fuels to provide endless energy upon an endless planet.

Through the work of our party, I see a new horizon for health care for all Americans with a universal, single payer system. Many cannot afford health insurance. Some do not have jobs. Some are people who have jobs yet do not have coverage, who do not get diagnosed in time. Who end up dying prematurely. This is what happens with a market-based system. Here again, we are asked to consciously choose our priorities: Between the claims of the community and the claims of
commerce. Between the public interest and private interest.

Our Democratic party cannot stand by idly while the great economic engines of our society trample workers’ rights, human rights, ruin the environment, shatter regulations, sweep aside antitrust laws, destroy competition and accelerate the accumulation of wealth into fewer and fewer hands and control the government itself. Undue corporate influence has diminished our party. It has distorted our priorities. It has eliminated debate. It has blurred the differences between the political parties.
We need a new relationship between the Democratic party and corporate America, call it arms-length, so that our party is capable of independently affirming the public interest. We need a new relationship between corporations and our society. This begins with government taking the responsibility to establish the conditions under which corporations may do business in the United States, including the establishment of a federal corporate charter which describes corporate rights and responsibilities.

I see an America where the economy works for everyone because everyone is working. I
see a new horizon in this country where there is no such thing as an acceptable level of unemployment. Nearly 9,000,000 Americans are unemployed. Millions more are not being included in the official count. Average wages are falling. People are taking pay cuts to keep their jobs. The middle class aspirations of many are being dashed.

Where the private sector fails to provide jobs, the public sector has a moral responsibility to
do so. People want work, not welfare. And while there ought to be welfare for those unable to work, there ought to be work for those who are able to work and who want to work. And there is enough work to do.

I see a newly rebuilt America. I see a new horizon where America provides means to have
massive public works to rebuild our cities, our water systems, our public transportation systems,
our schools, our parks, our public energy systems. We have done it before.

We are the party of FDR and the New Deal. We are the party of JFK and the new frontier. We are the party of LBJ and the Great Society. We are the party of the realized dreams of Martin Luther King. We are the party of the unrealized dreams of Bobby Kennedy. We are the party of Social Security, of Medicare, of civil rights, of equality for women, of a green planet, of a peaceful planet. We are the party of the people. And it is our Democratic party, which has the opportunity to widen the bright horizon for all the people, particularly our youth, to become excited about participating in the process of citizenship, by fearlessly stepping into the crucible of change, by working for new initiatives which will win back people’s faith in our government, faith in the political process, faith that their vote matters, and faith in each person’s ability to make a difference. One person can make a difference.

Senator Robert Kennedy said, "Each time a man (or woman) stands up for an ideal, acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he (or she) sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples can create a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

What kind of Democrat am I, Vic Roberts? You decide.

Your campaign contribution to Vic Roberts for the US Senate is an investment toward representation for the common good of our citizens and the general welfare of our great nation; representation against the New World Order’s evil empire.

In the words of a great lady, Mother Jones, "Let us pray for the dead but fight like hell for the living.”
