Dr. Schoon is one of my favorite writers, he hits hard in this piece. The American Empire is finished. What does this mean for Canada? My thoughts start with NAU and how crippled we will become by the USA collapsing.

THE AMERICAN DREAM
An obituary
The American Revolution was an extraordinary event. The idea that freedom was an
inherent right, that tyranny could be successfully opposed, that government could serve
the people, not the few, was truly revolutionary in 1776—as it is today.
The American Revolution, however, has run its course; and unless resuscitated and given
new life, the American dream and the dreams of America’s founding fathers will soon be
only a memory. Dreams rarely come to pass and those that do rarely last. The American
dream is no exception.
What happened in 1776 has been subverted by the passage of time and the inconstancy of
later generations. Those who rule America today have subverted the principles
enumerated in the US Constitution; principles the Founding Father hoped would guide
those who followed them through the crises yet to come.
The principles were not many, e.g. fiscal prudence, sound money, separation of church
and state and a limited military and limited government. But even those few and clearly
stated principles succumbed over the years to the imposition of policies that had given
rise to the need to revolt in 1776.
Now, in 2008, tyranny and government excesses are again upon America, but this time it
is by America’s own hand. The policies of King George III were no more egregious than
the policies of President George Bush II.— taxation without real representation, e.g.
TARP (80 % Americans opposed), the imposition of policies contrary to the will of the
people, e.g. US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan (70 % opposed), and the loss of
individual freedoms under the Patriot Act (60 % opposed).
The difference between 1776 and 2008 is that America is now tyrannized not by the King
of England but by its own government. Today, the US government does not represent the
will of the people. It represents instead the special interests that control the US
government through the buying of votes—America is not for sale only because it has
already been sold.
The difference between 1776 and 2008 is not only 232 years. It is the difference between
the dream of the Founding Fathers and the shadow of that dream in whose increasing
darkness Americans now exist.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS THE REASON FOR AMERICA’S
FALL FROM POWER AND THE SOURCE OF ITS INCREASING PROBLEMS
Thomas Jefferson warned 200 hundred years ago that if private bankers were allowed to
issue America’s money, indebtedness, foreclosure and suffering would follow. Yet, in
2
1913, private bankers gained control over America’s money by the passage of the Federal
Reserve Act.
We are now suffering for ignoring Jefferson’s warnings. Jefferson was right in predicting
our problems but his words were overridden by those who had other plans for America,
plans that would increase their profits at the expense of the nation.
It is no accident America is now an empty shell of the great economic power it once was.
Bled dry by debt imposed by those whose sole intent was to profit, the US is now
bankrupt at a time it desperately needs the resources it no longer has.
The US Treasury is now empty except for IOUs and only if others continue to buy
America’s debts can America continue to go forward. Once we were creditors, now we
are debtors. America cannot escape the consequences of what has been done but we can
limit our problems if we undo their cause.
The Federal Reserve Act was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President
Woodrow Wilson who later bitterly regretted what he had done to America.
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial
nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The
growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We
have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and
dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion,
no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by
the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson, US President
The power of the Federal Reserve System—a system controlled by a small group of
dominant men—derives solely from is power to issue debt-based money in the form of
US dollars and to charge interest on their issuance. We are paying our jailors for our
enslavement and are fools for so doing. Who would have thought—except Jefferson.
FRANCE AND AMERICA’S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
This article is being posted from Paris, France; a city and nation that supported America’s
War of Independence against England. Over time, Americans have forgotten this
important fact.
Following the Declaration of Independence of the thirteen colonies, the American
Revolution had been well received in France, both by the population and the enlightened
elites. The Revolution was perceived as the incarnation of the Enlightenment Spirit
against the “English tyranny”. Benjamin Franklin, dispatched to France in December of
1776 to rally her support, was welcomed with enthusiasm, and numerous Frenchmen
embarked for the Americas to help the war, motivated by the prospect of valor in battle

or animated by the sincere ideal of liberty and republicanism, like Pierre Charles
L’Enfant, and La Fayette, who enlisted in 1776.

In the last two centuries, Americans have come to identify more with England (perhaps a
cultural variant of the Stockhausen syndrome) than with its first ally, France—the lure of
a good Burburry overcoming its love for the great cloak of freedom. Unfortunately,
Americans have forgotten their history and what they haven’t forgotten they have now
reinvented.
Freedom is always fragile and is always under attack from those who would enslave
others for their own ends, including profit; and, the present crisis is as threatening to
America as was the crisis of 1776.
Now, as then, the cause of America’s problem is English in origin. But this time the
cause is England’s central banking system, recreated on our own shores as the Federal
Reserve Bank, a private central bank masquerading as a US Federal government
institution.
But America does not own or control the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve
Bank is owned and controlled by a small group of dominant men— private bankers who
through their control of the Federal Reserve now control America.
GOLD IS FREEDOM
THE 5 % SOLUTION
Gold is freedom because gold is the antidote to the debt-based money of private bankers
issued by central banks such as the Federal Reserve, debt-based money that has been
destroying America’s wealth, savings, and productivity for almost one hundred years.
Since the Federal Reserve began issuing debt-based US dollars 95 years ago, the US
dollar has lost 95 % of its value. The whiff of the dollar’s demise is now in the air and
unless something is done quickly, its end is imminent. There is only 5 % left to go.
Only if America returns to the principle of sound money enumerated in its Constitution,
will the abomination of unsound money and unsound governance end. If the Federal
Reserve is allowed to continue, so too will our problems and the now 95 year downward
spiral of America.
The choice is clear: End the Federal Reserve or the American dream will end. End of
story.
Five….four.…three….two….
