The control of the U.S. Federal Gvt., James Madison

Post by kirtland r.m. »

“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every state, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, everything, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress … were the power of congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America.”

>> – James Madison, First U.S. Congress Floor Debate, 1792

Much of this has now been done, subverting "the very foundations" of America's founding.

Of all people, LDS people should realize that "A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world." (President Ezra Taft Benson, Oct 1988}


Over many years I have become convinced that there is a conspiracy to alter the American government and make it over into a socialist dictatorship. Way back in 1916, Senator Charles A. Lindbergh, speaking in the U.S. Senate, stated that "There is a sinister influence at work in our country, which if it is not checked, intends to completely undermine the original purpose of the formation of our government...and to bring all the world into one control and one system, which for purposes of deception of the plain people, they would call a ‘world democracy’, but which in fact it is their plan to make the rule of the wealth grabbers, maintained by simple organization of themselves and disorganization of the masses, pitting the masses against each other... The few now desire to cut off every possible avenue of escape from industrial slavery for the masses.”
