Socialism, USA

SOCIAL SECURITY is socialism. You cannot oppose socialism while having a SSN.

Repent. In Luke 13 Christ tells us, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”

Social Security Cards are only available to people who are so destitute that they qualify to apply for federal funds. Six years after the Social Security Act, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on who could receive government welfare.

SS cards are only available to a person “who is an applicant for or recipient of any program financed in whole or in part from Federal funds” — according to section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Social Security Act.

But the only federal funds that are Constitutional are for saving a life of a 14th Amendment citizen. The poor laws allowed welfare ONLY to those who are completely destitute to the extent explained by the 1941 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Edwards v. California, 314 US 172: “…only persons who are presently destitute of property and without resources to obtain the necessities of life, and who have no relatives or friends able and willing to support them.”

Once they accept the card, they become a permanent ward of the federal government.

If you are destitute of property AND you are so despicable that you cannot find a relative, friend, neighbor, or church that is willing to give you a necessity of life, then you can qualify for a SS Card. Until then, it is fraud to apply for a SSN.

The newer cards, since 1972, don’t tell
you that it is “not for identification.”

Only six people have been required by a court to apply for a SSN. They were all receiving welfare. (More…)

The law that SSNs are required at birth is a provision of the international GATT Treaty. (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade). Read it here.

Once you apply for a SSN, the Expatriation Act “promptly and finally disavowed” the State allegiance of anyone applying for federal benefits. You changed your citizenship by getting a SSN. You knew that “all men are created equal” was a status that State Citizens had, but you did not want to be equal.  Or your children.

Repent.

Bible warnings about taking welfare benefits.

There are standard moral values in the Bible that will keep you from being led astray. The Bible has many warnings about welfare.

God’s people have a long history of being taken captive. Abraham had to deliver us from Babylon. Moses led us from slavery under Pharoah. Christ led us from Roman military occupation. After Christ led Christians out of Roman occupation, Paul warned the Galatians to ” Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

The same unchanging Biblical advice applies to us today.  When asked about the end-times, Christ said “take heed that ye be not deceived.”

Will you know enough to avoid captivity when the brimstone hits the fan?

People are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.

I suggest that you repent and seek moral values so that you will not be deceived by fake news.

FAKE NEWS. There are plenty of hints that the end-times will involve deception. Second Thessalonians 2:9-10 speaks of deceivableness and delusion in the end times.  And there a plenty of other warnings (More…).

The globalists’ deep-state infiltrators gain power by demoralizing you. You can avoid deceptions only if you can manage your own affairs and avoid their psychological manipulations.

You can avoid demoralizing (removing your morals) by refusing to

  • Believe scare tactics. Don’t fall for warnings about being attacked. (Christ said there would be rumors of wars).
  • seek government benefits
  • Conformity, go-along to get along with the crowd, capitulate, obey the bully, fail to take a stand. You cannot comply your way out of tyranny.
  • Covet thy neighbors’ wealth, or anything that is thy neighbor’s.

BIBLE WARNINGS ABOUT WELFARE

  • The Apostle Paul, at Romans 11:9, repeated King David’s warning that government charity would be a snare to trap you.
  • Proverbs 23, don’t be enticed by the food offered by rulers.
  • Genesis 14:23 don’t accept anything, not even a shoelace, from a king.
  • Corban (the Roman system of forced welfare contributions), nullifies the word of God according to Mark 7:13. (this is not the earlier system of voluntary welfare contributions, Strong’s 7133)
  • When Christ bestowed upon his apostles a kingdom (where God’s laws prevail) he warned them not to have a top-down government, but to have a bottom-up government to provide for the needy of society. During the Last Supper, the apostles wanted their government to be like the kings of the gentiles who call themselves benefactors yet rule over others to forcibly extract the offerings. Christ said “you shall not be so”. We are to serve one another voluntarily. Luke 22:25-26.
  • Second Thessalonians 3:10 “that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” (Don’t associate with freeloaders.)

We are to have a daily ministration to provide for the needy of society. It is based on faith, hope and charity. Love your neighbor as yourself is almost a 50% tax. You get to administer your charity in a way that strengthens the less fortunate.

When we were convinced that it was no longer a sin to desire benefits at the expense of our neighbor “Faith, Hope, and Charity began to flee out of our Church”. [The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards, The First Conclusion.]

Forced charity is not charity. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ wealth. If you expect to live more comfortably by using government to forcibly take from your neighbor, then you become a tyrant. You reject God and curse your children with debt and teach them to “receive the reward of unrighteousness… with covetous practices, cursed children”. [2 Peter 2:13-14]

Why would a reasonably intelligent person be left-leaning?

Why would a reasonably intelligent person be left-leaning?
By Steven D. Miller

This left v. right question has be asked and re-asked throughout the history of mankind. The answers are always similar.

Reasonably intelligent answers throughout history

2150 years ago Greek Historian Polybius wrote a 40 volume history encyclopedia, The Histories Of the Roman Republic 220-146 BC, Book 6, section 9:

“But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders … when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch. “

And 2000 years ago Plutarch said “It is truly said that the first destroyer of the liberties of a people is he who gave them bounties and largesse. ”
— Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)

Cicero in 45BC wrote about the same problem. Here is H. Rackham’s 1914 translation of Section 1.10.33 of Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum:

“[33] On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.”

This was true when Samuel Adams speech at the Pennsylvania State House, August 1, 1776 told the greedy anti-freedom opportunists to “crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.”

When the proposed U.S. Constitution was debated in the State Senates.

To counter those rumors that the “general welfare” clause in the proposed Constitution would authorize any kind of welfare, James Madison, in Federalist Paper #41, explained its clear intent. He stated that it “is an absurdity” to claim that the General Welfare clause confounds or misleads, because this introductory clause is followed by enumeration of specific particulars that explain and qualify the meaning of phrase “general welfare”.

That’s right! Your Constitution was ratified under the assurance that it would never be interpreted to provide welfare to individuals.

This was still true when Congressman Davy Crockett made his famous “it is not yours to give” speech. It is not their money to give, not even for disaster relief in a federal territory.

Why do you want laws that force others to provide for you? You are demanding theft and extortion. It violates the Tenth Commandment to not covet your neighbor’s wealth.

Presidents also warned us

President Franklin Pierce in 1854 vetoed our nation’s first health care bill — a bill to help the mentally ill.  His veto said:

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity…. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”

In Genesis 3:19 the unchanging God of the Bible requires you to earn your bread from the sweat of your face.
This principle was still true when Abraham Lincoln gave his second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865: “It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces…”

He was talking about slavery. That’s right. Forced welfare contributions are just as immoral as slavery. Welfare and slavery are the same thing. It is using laws to force others to provide you with the fruits of another man’s labor. If you expect others to provide what you want, then you are as corrupt as a slave owner.

This was still true for Grover Cleveland’s veto of government pensions June 21, 1886:

“. . . Every relaxation of principle in the granting of pensions invites applications without merit and encourages those who for gain urge honest men to become dishonest. This is the demoralizing lesson taught the people that as against the public Treasury the most questionable expedients are allowable.
. . . I venture to suggest the significance of the startling increase in this kind of legislation and the consequences involved in its continuance.”

This was still true in 1897 when President Grover Cleveland vetoed an appropriation to provide disaster aid to victims of a Texas drought. His veto stated:

“I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds… I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution. The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people should support the government, the government should not support the people.”

[my footnote: 1897 was 2 years after the Supreme Court ruled that income tax was unconstitutional in Pollock v. Farmer’s Loan Co. — 157 US 429, and 158 U.S. 601],

This was still true for the Teddy Roosevelt speech to the New York City Chamber of Commerce November 11, 1902:

“it is a pleasure to address a body whose members possess to an eminent degree the traditional American self-reliance of spirit which makes them scorn to ask from the government, whether of State or of Nation, anything but a fair field and no favor; who confide not in being helped by others, but in their own skill, energy, and business capacity to achieve success. The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight that he shall not be a mere passenger, but shall do his share in the work that each generation of us finds ready to hand; and, furthermore, that in doing his work he shall show not only the capacity for sturdy self-help but also self-respecting regard for the rights of others.”

Those who receive not a love for the truth shall receive strong delusion that they should believe a lie.

Reasonably intelligent answers from the Bible:

  • The apostle Paul repeated King David’s warning that government charity would be a snare to trap you. Romans 11:9
  • Galatians 5:15 paraphrase: if you devour your neighbor, you risk being devoured yourself.
  • Second Thessalonians 2:11 God himself gives them over to strong delusion that they might believe a lie.
  • Romans 1:28 God himself gives them a reprobate mind.
  • Christ himself, at the Last Supper, told us to not be like the kings of the gentiles (ie, pagan governments). We are not to be a top-down government of benefactors. Luke 22:25-26

“Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated. Darwinian adaptation to environment applies not only to nature but also to society. … you don’t find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.”

Presidents could not find anything in the U.S. Constitution to allow socialism or any kind of welfare for individuals. Your Constitution was ratified under the assurance that it would never be interpreted to provide welfare to individuals.

To counter those rumors that the “general welfare” clause in the proposed Constitution would authorize any kind of welfare, James Madison, in Federalist Paper #41, explained its clear intent. He stated that it “is an absurdity” to claim that the General Welfare clause confounds or misleads, because this introductory clause is followed by enumeration of specific particulars that explain and qualify the meaning of phrase “general welfare”.

In 1792 congressman and future President James Madison voted against a congressional appropriation to assist war refugees who had fled to America. He said:

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”

This was still true when Congressman Davy Crockett made his famous “it is not yours to give” speech. It is not their money to give, not even for disaster relief in a federal territory.

In the 1891 naturalization case of Mr. Sauer, Title 81 Federal Reporter page 358, the court held that Mr. Sauer, although an industrious and law abiding man, could not become a citizen because he claimed to be a Socialist. That’s right. SOCIALISTS CAN NOT BECOME U.S. CITIZENS.

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity…. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”

Abraham Lincoln, September 11, 1858:

“Accustomed to trampling on the rights of others you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.”

Abraham Lincoln, second Inaugural Address, 1865:

“It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces …”
