On April 19th, 1995, the American mind was rudely awakened to the world beyond the media-designed boundary. Whoever heard of the Michigan Militia movement before the arrests of two suspects in the Oklahoma City bombing? Didn't any of those fancy reporters think it was necessary to tell us, the people at risk if these Militias act? Even as the body count went up, no one in the Government took any responsibility for causing the bombing, which appreared to have been a reaction to the Government's invasion of Waco, Texas, in 1993. It was as if the Government could do everything entirely wrong, without regard to any moral standard, yet it was beyond the law, answering to no one; to even criticize it was deemed irresponsible by reporters and journalists. It was this sense on the part of the people employed in the media industry that needs to be examined, because it is not actually admitted to publicly. It reflects the fact that the members of the media are aware that they have power.

It is hard to impart information to Americans because they are fed information early in life by a public educational system that outright lies to them in its version of history and current events, and then during their adult life, their source of information is a media industry that perpetuates the mythologies taught in school. These sources of information distort the truth so completely, that most Americans are fundamentally helpless to defend themselves, which is the underlying intent of the whole system. The people have no idea how the government is actually run, or how the bureaucrats in public service view them; they have been left deliberately ignorant, because the people who run the media are scared that the truth might scare the public, which indeed it would.

Not that long ago, the Chandler family dominated the political life of southern California, through its ownership of the Los Angeles Times. It was said that everything had to be cleared with the Times first, before it could go downtown, to the City Government. Even though that was a long time ago, and the Times has cleaned up its act, so that its control is now disguised with euphemisms and outward formalities, it is still the most powerful institution in southern California, outside of the television and radio broadcast industries; and through the Times Mirror Cable company, it even has its hand in those fields. This is only an example, because every community has its own Chandler family, its own homegrown group of dynasts, who don't EARN money through any devotion to the Work Ethic, but who gain everything they are in terms of status through INHERITANCE. The development of corporations served the dynasts by creating the corporate veil, thus the real extent of any person or families' holdings could be owned secretly; and where ownership was not secret, at the very minimum, the corporate veil limited the liability of those who profited from the corporation's operations. What people do not understand is that the work ethic is only taught to the poor; and they are only poor because they do not have the connections in the government that gives them access to the national wealth, which the members of the government sell to the highest bidder (which they consider their RIGHT, having won an election).

Everything we have seen in the media pertaining to the bombing in Oklahoma City has had to do with controlling the way Americans will think about the Government. Initially, in the same way the reporters covered the "Los Angeles Riots" (which were really only the Los Angeles part of riots that occured in cities across the country), whereby on-air reporters nervously groped for phrases and terminology that sustained popular faith in the Government, and which did not give attention to any of the popular notions against the Government, we saw news anchors quoting anonymous "experts" who had already decided that the bombing had all the "earmarks" of Middle Eastern terrorists. Before the hour was up, the whole nation was looking for dark skinned people in a pick up truck... Which is the old tactic of getting the community involved in trying to solve the Government's problem, as a community event. Of course, there were no dark skinned culprits, it was a ruse. Then, the reports came that of 19 dead, 17 were children; this estimate was later reduced to 12 children, but it played well in the media. (Although too many children died, the shameless use of dead children to gain sympathy for the Government was disgusting). When Government officials spoke on the issue of the bombing, they were quick to use phraseology which isolated the bombing as a criminal act, rather than as any kind of reaction by someone to something the Government may have done. It was like this bombing was done in a vacuum, with no actual cause other than some mad bomber's decision to harm innocent people. This enabled the Government to come off like an innocent victim (it was, after all, a Federal office building that was blown up rather than a mall).

No one with any humanity could watch the bloody people emerging from the wreckage without feeling some sympathy for their suffering; or feel sympathy for those who lost loved ones, especially children. But who heard any Government official express sympathy for the children who perished in Waco, Texas, when almost 100 people died as a result of a bungled Government invasion? There have been gun battles between the Federal Government and groups that believe that the Government is evil, and that it should be overthrown; why were we not informed about this until after an act of terror was committed? WHERE WAS THE MEDIA? The answer is that the media is a part of the power structure of the country, and it fails to cover real news on a regular basis solely because it does not see it in its best interests to do so. By only giving media attention to those who support the governmental SYSTEM, and routinely shutting out the opinions of groups and individuals who disagree with their opinions, the media industry has created an atmosphere conducive to terrorism, because once an act of terrorism is committed, the opinions of the groups that committed the actions are suddenly deemed relevant and newsworthy (even if they are publicly denigrated, which goes back to the old cliche any publicity is better than no publicity).

The reality is that the Federal Government had its genesis in the process of controlling the opinions of the public. The American Revolution was NOT against the British, it was against royalist Americans. Most of the revolutionary generation was born in England (which was why they included the clause in the Constitution allowing for men to run for the presidency who were residents in the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, because the clause barring foreign born individuals from seeking the presidency would have effectively kept most of them from becoming president). The version of American history taught in American schools about what was done to Americans who supported the King is almost fraudulent, because it reads as if the "patriots" threw them a party where they got "tarred and feathered". The fact is that they were driven from their homes by mobs, and were lynched as their property was distributed as loot among the victorious "patriots". Furthermore, the colonials started and provoked the violence of the revolution. The real reason for the whole war was to gain freedom for the well-to-do from having to pay taxes on their slaves, because the British had recently won an expensive war against the French in Canada, which only benefited the Americans. The entire version of American history taught in school is shameful, because it is so untruthful and self-serving to the institutional interests of the Republic. To avoid having Americans question it, they are deliberately filled with valueless dates of battles, and fabrications having to do with the honesty of early American leaders, so that the whole issue of history became so completely boring, that most Americans never want to hear the word "history" ever again after they leave school, to say nothing about hearing the actual version of events that took place two hundred years ago.

It is ironic that the members of the Michigan Militia are steeped in these false notions, so that they go on television and appear to be totally ignorant. The Constitution does not protect any of their freedoms, nor does it even mention them. The whole body of the Constitution does NOTHING other than enumerate the power and authority OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The Bill of Rights came about, literally, as a total after-thought. (Washington openly thought that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary, because it "limited" the Government!). The fact that the vast powers granted to the Federal Government in the Constitution made the Bill of Rights virtually unenforceable in anything other than token ways, has gone largely unnoticed, even after the Civil War in which the President was able to jail his political opponents without warrants or due process. The reality is that the Federal Government was designed to protect property, and at the time of its enactment the most powerful owners of property, with the most influential voices, were slavemasters, so that the return of fugitive slaves became a central feature of the Constitution.

The problem modern politicians have is that every now and then some bright individual with a legal education, actually picks up a genuine history book written by an actual scholar, to discover that the reason we have mass discontent lies in the founding of the republic, which "legalized" an illegal form of government. Despite the writting of the Constitution, there remains the unwritten constitution of the Anglo-American law, which is the constitution of a kingdom lacking only the king. The constitution of the kingdom is the only legitimate rule of law, because law is not what a bunch of lawyers decide it is at a secret convention, especially when what they decide is weighted to serve themselves at the expense of the rest of the body politic. Law is based on the customs of the people -- ask any qualified lawyer -- which evolved over centuries by traditional processes which involve the whole community, and which benefit the whole community. It was by the process of law that we found that murder is illegal, and no one would dispute it; but when we discuss things like the "laws" which make certain drugs illegal (while leaving whole classes of drugs defined as "legal," which just happen to enrich particular corporate interests), we find massive controversies which do nothing other than cast a cloud of doubt over the whole law-making process as it is defined in the Constitution of 1787. The very existence of controversy exposes that these so-called "laws" are not actual laws that protect the whole community, but are actually mean't to be "laws" which define political crimes. Crimes which enshrine the personal values and opinions of those who are temporarily ascendant, whose will it is to mercilessly punish those of their fellow countrymen that do not agree with their opinions.

The most interesting thing to watch as the Oklahoma City bombing unfolded was the way the media handled the reality that this horror was not inflicted by a foreign power, but by American nationals. Suddenly, the fiction of Americans all solidly backing the Federal Government was exposed as just that, a fiction, and the media was revealed as complicitors in the hoax; that was when everything went into high gear. Everyone in the media already knew how to handle this kind of situation: It was a criminal conspiracy of a tiny minority of impotent "kooks." Forget about the 200 years of popular unrest that has marked the American landscape since the foundation of the republic; forget about the labor movement, and the decades of violence the Government used to suppress it; forget about the limousines and million-dollar salaries, and all the other perks the journalists enjoy as privileged members of the elite. Mourn on Sunday for the dead, and go back to work on Monday, because the Government is STILL firmly in control. (You see, what the powerful are really still afraid of is slave revolts, and you could watch the government officials and media journalists mentally searching for any signs of bolting slaves).

What will never be discussed at any length on any television show of any quality is that the entire criminal underworld is anti-government. And this criminal underworld is not made up of a bunch of murderers and rapists; it is made up of many millions of ordinary, average Americans who got caught speeding, or smoking a marijuana cigarette, or who made a police officer angry over some suspected slight, who took it out on an otherwise innocent person. Most of the jails in this country are full of people who cannot afford to pay for their traffic tickets, especially tickets for driving without licenses. What the Government is the most anxious about is people openly defying its authority. The Government cannot be bothered finding a murderer, or a burglar, but it spares nothing if it has to save face, because the victim of the crime is the Government itself. Poor little Polly Klaus was dead before they arrested her murderer, who the police even encountered soon after her abduction; but one suspect who may have bombed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was in custody the same day! Suddenly, the Government had no money worries as it dispatched six different agencies to bring the culprits to justice; six military transport jets were dispatched to Oklahoma to "help the suffering." When the Northridge earthquake hit the Los Angeles area in January, 1994, wherein thousands of Americans were genuinely threatened, there were no military jets sent to relieve the people; only FEMA came out, with its usual bungling jungle of red-tape. But let a Federal Building where a mere 550 people worked get bombed, and martial law was declared and the death penalty was threatened! The most telling thing of all, of course, was that the sinister threats of punishment were directed at every American, and no one was free of suspicion.

The fact that the officials of the Government made open-ended threats was the most revealing fact of all. They, ultimately, did not trust their own people. The Governor of Oklahoma made it very clear that anyone who even sympathized with the bombing would be "investigated." The fact that bomb threats were phoned in across the country revealed that the Federal Government was not, after all, as popular with the average man as the media had portrayed it. (Of course, any American who has been accused of a crime, especially if he or she is innocent, or the crime is a political crime, can relate to the anger many, many Americans feel towards the republic and its so-called system of "justice"). Today the United States has more of its own citizens behind bars -- in prison -- than ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH, an honor once held by the now-defunct Soviet Union. Does that mean we have more criminals than any other country? Certainly not. It means we have a political system that is out of control.

One prominent, senior journalist asked whether the bombing was a political protest or just an act of "mass murder." It never seemed to cross his mind that it was a mass murder for the purpose of political protest. The average man is not given to using violence unless he has been violated, or believes that he has been violated. We are not told about the truly harsh, arbitrary and cruel policies of the Government, especially in its treatment of people it deems to be criminals, most of which are mainly guilty of the crime of defying its authority.

The jails and prisons are run basically without any civilian oversight, and they specialize in crushing the independent will of the individual by treating the prisoners arbitrarily, at the whim of the guards, who can be openly sadistic. While Americans are led into patting themselves on the back for abolishing the institution of private slaves, few Americans have read the Constitutional Amendment that abolished slavery, because they might be shocked to discover that the same law gives a green light to publicly owned slaves: prisoners of the state. The irony is that we are taught in school that the main benefit of a republic was to be free of the "arbitrary" government of the king, when actually the government of the king was limited by rigid social customs and multitudes of constitutional precedents. It turns out that there is no one in a republic with any genuine authority, so that the bureaucrats are able to do what they want when they want, and no oneis accountable to anyone. Ultimately, there is no government of law under the republic, enforced by a consistent and predictable pattern, guaranteeing to the people that the law is fair.

There is no better way to create a criminal underclass than to incarcerate vast segments of the population, and then subject them to the cruel whims of guards, so that when they are released back into the population they not only have no respect for the law, they are also more dangerous to the general population. Of course, the prison guard lobbies accuse those who hold that the guards behave unprofessionally as being "soft on crime," which always takes the wind out of the sails of any reform.

The Government and the media are only really good at ignoring the sentiments of the common people, and trying to shape them the way they want them, so as to continue whatever scams they are involved in. This, however, has not escaped the notice of the young people, who have no faith in the system of government, and often voice the fact that they do not support the Constitution. It's interesting that people who hold this opinion never appear on television, or in the pages of newspapers or magazines. How could that be, if the media is free? It occures because the media deliberately excludes those opinions that do not support the Government. It's permissible to voice the positions of the opposition voiced by one of the two political parties (neither of which has any real connection with real-life conditions of the average American), because the two major parties are safely under the control of individuals who have been tested, who can be trusted not to "give away the store." But the opinions of those who are against the SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT for bona fide reasons are too dangerous to voice, because the media knows that the majority of the American people are supportive of the anti-government position. That was the real underlying message of Ross Perot's large turnout, when he ran for President in one of the sloppiest candidacies of all time; and it was the underlying message of the voters when they turned the Democrats out of control of the Congress in the 1994 elections. If the voters had been given the FREEDOM OF CHOICE to choose another system of government on election day, 1994, there is the likelihood that they would have chosen it. As it was, they were given the rigged "choice" between the two major parties.

The American people are actually kind- hearted, generous, loving people, who abhore violence, and who want a positive future for their children and ALL children. That is why they came out in droves to help the victims of the bomb in Oklahoma City, victims who also happened to be the employees of governmental agencies that had them, the citizens of Oklahoma, targeted for innumerable investigations, the protection of which was the real reason martial law was declared, and troops were called out to guard the ruins. The truth is that the kind nature of Americans does not change the fact that they do not trust the Government, and the things the Government did in the aftermath of the bombing -- such as threaten everyone in the country with death because the officials weren't sure of the identity of the criminals who committed the deed -- only proved that their distrust of it has been justified.

Is there hope after Oklahoma? Certainly, but the hope is that people will wake up, and demand a return to lawful government. If we see the law as it has existed for thousands of years, instead of the ridiculous nonsense coming out of Congress every hour, then we can only support the restoration of the government of a king, a royal government. That government would not look like England's monarchy, but would be particularly American. An American king would never be able to agree to the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the English monarch, or the vast expense the English spend on their monarchy. Instead, taking the cue of the Scandinavian monarchies, which exist in fully democratic societies, the American monarch would enjoy a modest existence outside of the partisan struggles which have destroyed the Presidency. He would be the American king for all Americans, finally assuring the American people that they have an advocate who has no axe to grind other than the Truth.

(PLEASE NOTE: This paper was written as the tragedy transpired, and information continued to develop as to the extent of the damage and the number of deaths, for days afterwards. At the end of the first day the official number of children dead was 12, down from an earlier count of 17. Several days later, when the body count rose to 168, the total number of children killed in the bombing was 19 or 20. While National America mourns the deaths of all Americans, it should not stop any American from questioning the quality of government that is now being delivered to the American Nation. It is not unpatriotic to question the motives of those in power, or their responsibility for causing disasters like the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The ONLY patriotic position any American can take is to honestly examine the failings of the corrupt Federal Government, to ready us all for the day when it will be succeeded by a responsible system of government, the paramount purpose of which would be to guarantee the justice human beings require, the lack of which powers all terrorism).
