Alex Jones: How The Elite Control Politics

Please rate and comment and send this video to all your contacts 
www.InfoWars.com http It is very important for us all to realise that we're living under a simple but clever system that has been designed to contain revolution whilst projecting the illusion of being a free, fair and open democracy. The 2-party system provides firm support for the elite to implement their agenda from the top down, whilst the ordinary people at the grassroots level squabble between themselves over which political party is the best. In reality, it doesn't matter which of the two parties you vote for because the same agenda will unfold regardless. Hence, both parties are controlled at the very top by the same force. Oh yeah, YouTube, please stop censoring the view counters on these videos, it is beyond obvious now and just about every YouTube user knows that you fiddle the view counters to keep videos like this off the most-viewed lists. Why bother when it is just so blatantly obvious? www.InfoWars.com http NufffRespect www.youtube.com
Will The Chinese Fund Our Medical Insurance Too
One thing is for certain, elected officials are not holding back their thoughts of the health care reform law that was recently enacted. The Republican Party, wanting to make good on their campaign pledges, have already repealed this law in the House. However, Democrats are trying to safeguard this law because it is promoted as their greatest achievement throughout the leadership of the Obama administration. And with taxpayers which are equally divided on this matter, the health care reform law will be in the news for quite a while.
What is missing in the news are the genuine solutions to the medical care challenges the United States is confronting. The price of medical care, that is the main worry of many, hasn't been discussed by either political party. For a long time the price of medical treatment has greatly exceeded the general inflation rate and the pay increases which many employees receive annually. Until the cost of medical care is contained, more companies are going to be compelled to drop the medical insurance coverage they provide to their employees.
While the health care reform law has its advantages, many believe this law is only transferring the expense of paying for medical insurance coverage from companies to citizens. And people who believe this will occur unquestionably have genuine concerns. Already many businesses have eliminated their pension plans and some companies have already confirmed it will be cheaper for them to discontinue providing medical insurance to their workers after the health care reform law is fully active.
The majority of people don't want the government involved in their health care. Who can blame these individuals? It seems that most things the government tinkers with usually costs considerably more then proposed and less beneficial then that which was proposed to the voting public. Nevertheless, neither political party has dedicated to getting folks working again. All that spending reductions and economic stimulus packages are going to do is postpone the continual decline in the USA quality of life.
Politicians repeatedly speak about being competitive in the global economy. Regretfully, our country can not even remain competitive in our own states. We are competing with China, a nation in which many folks make less than seventy cents for every hour they work. At one tenth of our minimum wage, this isn't being competitive but is an all out slaughter of the American labor force. And until political leaders opt to take care of these trade issues, the American way of life will continue its decline until our incomes are more competitive with those we trade with. This ought to be a frightening thought to most people, but taxpayers are mostly focused on the national health care debate.
Earlier generations of American citizens struggled for our freedoms and independence. But we are now at a crossroad, in which our political leaders have entered into tremendously harmful trade agreements with China and other nations. As voters we must ask ourselves what precisely has motivated our leaders to sell out the American workforce to a Communist nation. When some politicians with a backbone arise, maybe then our trade agreements can be improved to better exhibit our needs to consume and earn a living. Restoring this balance is crucial so that American families have the means buy their own medical insurance plans and to keep government out of our private lives.
Anchor Babies, The 14th Amendment, And Economic Collapse
There has been much discussion in the media and government over the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and the impact it may have on immigration.
The Citizenship, or Naturalization, Clause was ratified on July 9, 1868, and states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens in the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The 14th Amendment reversed the Dred Scott vs. Sanford decision of 1857, which prevented any blacks in America from ever becoming legal citizens, with full rights and privileges. The Citizenship Clause effectively forced Southern states to make blacks legal citizens. The decision to ratify the Constitution and successive decisions in the 142 years since have been intricate and divisive. However, people are calling for another look at the amendment because of the ease in which illegal immigrants' children are becoming citizens and, thus, mouths to feed on the government dole.
In the early years of the twenty-first century, illegal aliens now play a considerable part in states' current budget crises. The parents take advantage of the welfare state for their new American citizens while paying little to no taxes to support it. California is now threatened with bankruptcy because of such actions.
In addition to California, Texans are also feeling the burden of instant American citizenry. About 60,000 babies are born to illegal immigrants every year in that state, costing the healthcare and education systems billions of dollars. In the face of liberal ire, State Representative Leo Berman (R-Tyler) has promised to bring a bill to the Texas State Legislature that would forbid the state from issuing birth certificates to children born to illegal immigrants.
In the years immediately following the Civil War, the Great Society had not yet been established. Thus, mass exploitation of the welfare state wasn't yet a considerable concern. Nonetheless, it has become a problem to be addressed, which lawmakers have begun to do again.
Democrats, who traditionally love unfettered illegal immigration, say conservatives are the bad guys, and that it's about winning votes in the November election and not about repairing the immigration crisis (although they would never say it's a crisis). They're also going back to the old talking point that conservatives care nothing about the children. They can't just go back onto the streets, they screech self-righteously.
However, common sense should tell us that America cannot possibly afford to support all these illegal aliens. Americans are cash-strapped as it is, what with Obama's tax and spend policies that severely constrict free enterprise. Liberals ask what will be done with the innocent children. Well, they may be innocent, but that doesn't mean they're entitled to food stamps. In actuality, they should be sent back to their home country with their parents. Because changing a constitutional amendment is such a complex and rare process, this issue will be driving much debate in the next few years. If we try to take care of everyone, we'll soon find ourselves able to care for no one.

What Is Birthright Citizenship?
photo credit: Life Magazine
I have a summertime pop-quiz for you. How about this one, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Who said, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Right. Patrick Henry. Ronald Reagan made that challenge. Finally, who said, "Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth. It's a matter of faith." That statement was made by Barack Obama.
When it comes to citizenship and who can be an American citizen, is it a matter of faith, as the President stated? Or is it more accurate to say that American citizenship is a matter of settled law? The U.S. Constitution states in Article 1, Section 8, that Congress (the lawmaking branch of the three branches of government) has the authority to make laws governing citizenship. At the time the Constitution was written, the Framers were just coming to terms with all the details of forming a new nation. They all had been Englishmen before the Revolution, but now, they were Americans. The Founders had to settle the question of whom else could become an American.
Some say that any child born in the United States, even if his parents are in the U.S. illegally, should be entitled to birthright citizenship. Although Congress passes law in the three branches of government, the judicial branch has effectively made new law by establishing a precedent for continued birthright citizenship. Since we see so many expectant moms crossing the border just in time to give birth, it is clear that American citizenship is an attractive benefit to illegal immigrants. These newborns are given automatic citizenship, and serve as an "anchor" for the family's future.
The Civil War was fought, in part, over the great question of slavery. Slaves were not considered fully human by many of their captors, let alone American citizens. After the slaves' emancipation, there were some who would not recognize their citizenship, nor the citizenship of their offspring. This was an argument that had to be settled. The question of who was entitled to American citizenship was addressed in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was passed to clarify the status of freed slaves. It begins, "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States..." The clause "not subject to any foreign power" is salient when examining the issue of citizenship. The Amendment's language clearly points to allegiance to America as the key to citizenship by right of birth.
The Fourteenth Amendment begins, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." The portion of that statement that is critical, is the clause "...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." It is clear that only those who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of American are to be considered citizens.
Those who argue against birthright citizenship say that the Fourteenth Amendment requires a child's parent to be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States in order for the newborn to attain American citizenship. Since minor children remain subject to their parents, and if the parents are foreign nationals, the child cannot be considered an American by birth. The Fourteenth Amendment jurisdiction clause negates birthright citizenship.
Constitutional language lays out the path to American citizenship, so how was a judicial precedent set in favor of birthright citizenship? The Supreme Court, in 1973, heard a New York case, Sugarman vs. Dougall. The state of New York terminated four legal resident aliens from federal jobs because they lacked U.S. citizenship. The workers filed suit against the state, and the Supreme Court (last on the list of the three branches of government) ruled that American citizenship could not be a determining factor in hiring for government jobs.
In 1982, the Supreme Court also threw out a Texas statute that denied children of undocumented aliens from attending public schools. The Court ruled that public education was so important to society, that even if a child's parents had come to the country illegally, the child was entitled to free education. Now, any child born on American soil is given citizenship as a right of birth.
Birthright citizenship and "anchor babies" are a hot topic in today's news. Liberals and Conservatives can disagree about birthright citizenship, but the Constitution is clear about who is a citizen. Only those born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens. Until the Congress passes a law to the contrary, any rulings by the Supreme Court, or any other court, are in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
