The Nature of Politics in America, circa 2000 A.D.

America now consists of four major factions - the ruling elites, the tax receivers, the thought controlled citizen, and Christian conservatives.

Ruling Elites

First are the ruling elites. While debates and struggles take place within this group as individuals compete for influence, this must not be allowed to obscure their relative univocality in support of the social and political forces that shape contemporary America.

The ruling elites can be broken down into three subgroups - financial elites, political elites, and media/academia. Each elite seeks to enhance and preserve its power in different ways.

The financial elites inhabit the multinational corporate world, and its capital markets. They interface with the political elites at the Federal Reserve System and International Monetary Fund, the federal and global government managed "central banks." The financial elites are dedicated to the devaluation of labor, and the maintenance and enhancement of their financial wealth. Their issues are favorable tax treatment for investors, "free trade," immigration as a tool to devalue labor, and elimination of antitrust enforcement.

The political elites inhabit the institutions of government, particularly the federal courts and the executive agencies. They are dedicated to the expansion of federal and global government power, deChristianization, domestic population control, immigration as a tool of cultural change and thought control. Their issues are abortion, feminism, homosexuality, gun control, public education, atheism and centralization of power. They are insulated from democratic control by lifetime appointments in the case of judges and civil service "career status" in the case of executive agency bureaucrats.

Each elite recognizes the necessity of disguising itself and influencing public opinion in favor of elite policies. Therefore, elites share benefits with and extend influence over the media and academia, the institutions of "thought control." Over the past fifty years, the "major media" have been co-opted by the financial and political elites. Academia, which is funded almost exclusively by the federal government, follows political elite opinion, but is less reliably controlled by financial elites.

Tax Receivers

The second major political faction are the tax receivers. This class of persons is comprised of the beneficiaries of socialism - those who receive more tax dollars than they pay out. This class includes public employees, public school teachers, welfare and SSI recipients and even many "seniors" who receive Social Security. [2]

Because tax receivers actually profit under the current system, they quite rationally tend to support it. Even though most do not belong to the ruling elites, their interests are well represented by groups who lobby Congress for more money. These groups include the American Federation of State and Municipal Employees, the National Educational Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the American Association of Retired Persons, and various "poverty pimp" groups too numerous to mention. Since tax receivers have become comfortable under the socialism of the New World Order, they are not inclined to oppose it.

Thought-Controlled Citizens

The third major political faction is the thought-controlled citizen. He has no control or financial stake in the current order. In fact, he overwhelmingly bears the burdens of preserving it - from paying taxes to fighting wars. As a result, he increasingly tends toward discontent, but effective thought control renders him unable to understand the reasons why. By no coincidence, he is likely to be areligious and apolitical.

With the advent of television technology, thought control became possible. [3] With the centralization of political and economic power, thought control has become actual, because the centralization of power has enabled an agreement on how thought would be controlled.

The first job of propaganda is to disguise its true identity. The guise most often assumed by contemporary thought control is that government liberates, frees or empowers the individual or group. The individual is encouraged to liberate himself from every type of authority - except, of course, government authority. This especially includes encouraging wives to become liberated from their husbands, children to become liberated from their parents and religious to become liberated from their clergy.

Political elites persuade individuals that the government really and truly creates value and benefits for its citizens, and that some of their fellow citizens are to blame for the government's undeniable failure to deliver these benefits to each individual. The elimination of government "gridlock" by expanding and centralizing government power is touted as the only solution to this intractable problem.

Financial elites persuade individuals that their material standard of living is inadequate, and that for the time being they can achieve financial "freedom" only by borrowing money and paying usurious interest. Of course, individual citizens are supposed to ignore the increasing numbers of neighbors and relatives who are laid off due to "free trade," corporate mergers and "downsizing." That everyone will eventually become wealthy is evident from the myriad of successful entrepreneurs and "dot com millionaires" who regularly appear in magazines and television.

Propaganda is also directed towards groups as opposed to individuals. Modern elites recognize that people need enemies. Of course, since they themselves are the true enemies of popular interests, surrogate enemies need to be created. This is done by fostering resentment among various racial or ethnic groups. Thus, blacks are repeatedly told that their living circumstances are caused by white racism. Many predictably respond by perpetrating violence against whites. Whites naturally respond by attributing violent crime to blacks, and tolerate if not encourage police brutality and the "criminal injustice system." Group directed propaganda follows the maxim "Divide and conquer."

The modern thought controlled man is a testament to the efficacy of modern propaganda. His real salary and wages declined from 1978 to 1996, [4] yet he believed "the economy is great." Free trade has decimated many of his hometowns, and crushed his union's bargaining power, and yet he supports it "because it's a global economy." He has always been among those who fight our wars yet he supports any and all far-flung military operations because "We've got to do something to stop (Noriega, Saddam, Aideed, Milosevic, bin Laden, fill in the blank) from becoming the next Hitler." He tolerates homicide -abortion- in order to save his daughter from the almost quaint embarrassment of a premarital pregnancy. He accepts a Supreme Court that repeatedly overturns popular referendums out of deference to the Constitution, although he has never looked at, much less read, the Constitution, a nine page document. He believes the Democrats support the working man because they champion a minimum wage of $7.00 an hour, although a family of four supported by such an income would be officially impoverished. He is content to choose between candidates for public office who have no real differences of opinion as to those policies that control his life and death as a citizen of his country. He actually finds discussion of these policies to be dull if not vexatious, interrupting the sumptuous banquet of distraction laid down before him by the largest industry in post-industrial America - the entertainment industry. In the America of 2000 A.D., the thought-controlled man is legion.

Christian Conservatives:

The fourth major faction in American politics are Christian conservatives.

These can be broken down into three subgroups - the evangelical Christians, the emerging separatists and the radical fringe. This faction probably amounts to fifty million people - but almost every one of them was uninvolved in politics prior to 1976. Almost literally, American Christians were "out to lunch" while atheists stole the apparatus of self-government out from under them. By the time Christian conservatives recognized the need for their involvement in politics, the atheist revolution was a fait accompli.

Christian conservatives understand that the evils of the current order need to be "reformed." For years, they have been grappling with how to accomplish such reform. Their lack of success has been spectacular, and is recounted here in some detail. But error recognition is a prerequisite to error correction, and Christians have not correctly identified the problem.

The evangelical Christians are typified by the Christian Coalition. They seek to operate within a political and economic framework constructed by the elites, which is demonstrably futile. The past twenty-four years bear witness to that futility. Initially, they mobilized behind a Democrat, Jimmy Carter, the first "born again" President. Carter betrayed both his native South and his fellow evangelical Christians. His administration enfranchised the same McGovernite radicals the nation repudiated in 1972.

In 1980, the evangelicals turned to Republican Ronald Reagan. Reagan was bitterly opposed by the elites within his own party, the so-called Rockefeller Republicans. Indeed, Gerald Ford, Reagan's rival in 1976, had made Nelson Rockefeller his Vice-President. Bob Dole replaced Rockefeller in the 1976 election, and George Bush carried the mantle into the 1980 convention, where he opposed Reagan. But Reagan finally broke through and won the nomination.

Reagan's father was Irish-Catholic, but he adopted his mother's Protestantism. He strongly appealed to Catholic Democrats, and evangelical Republicans. He was unabashedly pro-life, pro-freedom, anti-tax and anti-government. His free trade leanings made him barely palatable to the financial elites within the Republican party. Reagan mainly appealed to the popular base of both major parties.

Winning strong majorities of the popular vote in 1980 and 1984, Reagan commanded a mandate for conservative change, Yet in retrospect it appears his administrations accomplished little in the way of downsizing the federal government. He was unable to reverse Supreme Court decisions in abortion - or any other major area of social policy. Elite federal powermongers, masquerading as "law and order" conservatives, used Reagan's conservative platform to institute forfeiture laws and effectively revoke multiple provisions of the Bill of Rights. Free trade began to hollow out America's industrial base during the Reagan years. Domestically, the Reagan administration was in the neutral to negative range.

Reagan's military buildup plans were implemented and his implacable hatred of Communism focused that military power on ending the Cold War. His conception and dedication to the Strategic Defense Initiative was key in that regard. Reagan was out of office when the Soviets actually did "tear down that Wall." Having compromised in 1980 by naming George Bush as his successor, Reagan unwittingly paved the way for Communism to be replaced with an equally despicable New World Order.

Christian conservatives stayed with Bush despite some misgivings. Almost immediately, Bush demonstrated a strong distaste for national ("unilateral") action in favor of international ("multilateral") action. Bush's warmongering in Panama, Somalia and Iraq was applauded by the controlled media. Domestically, Bush had a quiet Presidency with the exception of agreeing to raise taxes. Bush ignored abortion and other aspects of the culture war. The distinctions between the major parties began to blur noticeably in the Bush administration. Congressional Democrats voted for military action around the world and Republicans voted to increase taxes. The "one party system" had formed.

In the 1992 election, evangelical Christian support for Bush was muted, although their leaders such as Ralph Reed supported him strongly. Anti-government types defected to Perot. Clinton exploited this division and won with 43% of the vote.

The Christian evangelicals have for the most part remained in the Republican fold. In 1994, the Republicans took over Congress. They proceeded to lose popular support. Their true devotion to the financial elite's agenda became apparent, e.g., lowering capital gain taxes. They had no more excuses why they "failed" to enact their popular agenda, e.g., the Christian evangelical agenda, since they now controlled Congress. A cadre of Rockefeller Republicans began to emerge in the Senate, reliably spiking legislation favored by the popular wing of the Republican Party. The Republican Senate overwhelmingly confirmed the appointment of Clinton's two Supreme Court nominees - two pro-abortion Jewish judges who had spent their entire careers working in academia and government.

Their low point was that many evangelical Christians supported Rockefeller Republican Bob Dole over real conservative Pat Buchanan in 1996, after Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary. This may be attributable to anti-Catholic sentiment, which together with an excessive servility constitutes the real weakness of evangelical Christian movement.

The evangelical Christians remain largely committed to the Republican Party. Their aging leadership - Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and Bob Jones has allowed them to become marginalized taken-for-granteds in the Republican Party, similar to blacks and labor in the Democratic Party.

In 2000, they fell in line behind Governor George W. Bush; all the while Henry Kissinger stood behind the Governor, smiling.

The evangelical Christians have yet to catch on about the merger of the Democratic and Republican parties, and that they're the ones being laid off. As of this writing, President Bush has appointed the following advisors ("Executive Office of the President"): Andrew Card, Jr., Chief of Staff; Joshua Bolton, Domestic Policy Advisor, Laurence Lindsey, Economic Advisor, Ariel Fleisher, spokesman, Mark Weinberger, Tax Policy Advisor and Robert Zoellick, U.S. Trade Representative. None are evangelical Christians. All have either Federal Reserve or International Monetary Fund backgrounds.

Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Roderick Paige, Al Gonzales, Norman Mineta and Elaine Chao have been or are about to be named to Cabinet level posts. Three are African-American, two are Asians, one is Hispanic.

One would think that Bush won the election with the overwhelming support of minorities, but of course these groups voted en masse for Al Gore. European Christian Americans voted for Bush, but again, that's their mistake, one that will be corrected in a decade or two.

The emerging separatists represent a distinctly different type of Christian conservative. Many are Catholic. Their involvement is not limited to choosing between candidates the Republicans and Democrats trot out every two, four or six years. The have decided to take that big step beyond involvement in ordinary politics. They are searching for separatism and independence. And they have been motivated to do so by a powerful instinct - the instinct to protect one's children.

Homeschooling is the nascent paradigm for eXile. Homeschoolers have found that removing children from the public school system makes them better educated and better Christians. The average score of homeschooled children on an Iowa State achievements tests was the 80th percentile. [5] And Iowa is a state whose public schools are among the best in the nation. This same principle of separatism should be emulated in all aspects of human endeavor. What homeschooling seeks to do for the education of children - improvement by separation from non-Christian influences, eXile will seek for all aspects of every Christian's life.

Homeschooling advocates have had to fight hard in the courts to vindicate the natural right of parents to educate their children at home. Their legal defense organization, and institution of higher education, Patrick Henry College, is located on the leeward slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Purcellville, Virginia. See, http://www.hslda.org/. Already, they have found that the courts are more reluctant to uphold the religious liberty of Christian Americans to educate children as they see fit. They recognize the explicit threat posed by international organizations seeking to control children's upbringings. Id. Soon, they will realize that they must become part of the eXile.

Last is the radical fringe. The atheist left has proven - today's radical is tomorrow's "moderate." So by calling the following groups "radical," "extreme", etc., no dismissal or denigration of any kind is intended. Very simply, these groups currently occupy the right end of the political spectrum in the United States.

National Alliance, directed by Dr. William Pierce, is at the vanguard. A former physics professor, Dr. Pierce is highly educated. He is neither anti-Christian nor pro-Christian; he is a committed racist. National Alliance hopes to awaken white consciousness through radio broadcasts, internet education and youth music.

Other groups on the radical right include Ayran Nations, Ku Klux Klan, Posse Comitatus and Church of the Creator. These groups preach religious doctrine with a strong racist message. For the most part, their message is not as well thought out, researched or presented as that of Dr. Pierce.
