Wake up America Before It's Too Late!: A Decision Paper By

By Colonel Ellis D. Bingham USA, Retired

Deep within our own Unites States Government and elements within and outside our nation, there appears to be an insidious plot to destroy our Christian heritage and our American way of life. This will never happen as long as our citizens are armed as provided for in our Constitution. Unfortunately, most citizens are immersed in their day-to-day activities to provide for their families and do not have the time to sift through and analyze the wealth of information provided by modern technology. Those that have the time to monitor the internet and other media are flooded with information, much of which is disinformation. This causes uncertainty, fear, worry and stress on our citizens. This Decision Paper puts together seven situations that, if not acted upon and corrected, will destroy this great nation. All nations should realize that if America, as the world knows it is destroyed, the free world will cease to exist.

8 My Final Conclusion:

Introduction

I am writing this book following the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff format for a Decision Paper. This defines the problem, presents the facts bearing on the problem, discussion, conclusion and recommendations for solving the problem. I am showing problem areas that I feel are adversely affecting our nation. My purpose is to present the facts as I see them as a military analyst. It is not my intent to offend anyone or any religion. The decision will be yours America!

As a military analyst, I probably look at all situations with different eyes; but after crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s, I still seriously question what is going on in our country today. Faced with the evidence, I keep coming back to the same question: Is there an insidious objective in progress intent on destroying our American way of life? I believe there is something much bigger at work than we can see right now. So what can we do, as American Patriots, to curb the destruction of our country? The analysis is simple: we must first identify the threat; then, evaluate the threat; and finally, we must destroy the threat through our voices and ballots.

To understand history is to recognize who we are and why we are. Our future is based on our knowledge of history, understanding what we must avoid so as not to replicate past mistakes. Continuing crisis situations that our Nation is encountering have resulted in uncertainty, fear, worry and stress on our citizens, and consequently, in a lack of confidence in our governing bodies at the State and Federal levels. These crisis situations are brought about by self-serving, patronage politics and corporate greed. Henry Demarest Lloyd described this in 1894 as Wealth against Commonwealth.

The American way of life was bought for a terrible price, war and death, beginning with a Revolution fought by our Forefathers, our first patriots. Webster defines the term patriotism as love of country. It is this love of country, and our Judeo-Christian culture, that has inspired men and women to stand up in patriotic defense of America for more than 200 years. When the call to arms sounded, patriots assembled to protect our country, its Constitution and the freedom and opportunity that America offers. Our Judeo-Christian heritage, and our belief in God and Jesus Christ, has propelled this nation into the greatest military and economic power on Earth. As such, America has done more for the world as a whole than any other nation in history.

Americanism and patriotism are often confused, as one can be a patriot and not yet an American citizen. One type of American Patriot is someone who believes in the American form of government and enjoys its freedom of speech, press, religion and opportunity, both economic and social. Our American way of life has proven itself both attractive to people of the world and the envy of other governments. We are a nation founded, developed and populated by immigrants. Immigrants were the backbone of our developing nation. They learned the English language, assimilated into our society, became law abiding citizens and fought for our nation as patriots when called upon. The massive influx of immigrants coming into our country recently must be brought to realize that America is not a Socialistic Government or a multicultural nation and that they are expected to work and make their own way, just as immigrants did in the beginning. They must learn our language, accept our laws, accept our social values and integrate into our society in an effort to become American citizens. Those unable to accept our laws, our freedom of religions and our American way of life have the right to go back to their original homeland.

American Patriots are also unsung heroes, citizens who promote the welfare of our country through their churches, organizations and businesses by making their voices heard. If these law-abiding Americans do not like the laws they are confronted with, they take the option of promoting the welfare of their country by the exercise of their ballot; not through violence or rioting. All Americans lawfully engaging themselves in their governance, they can truly be called patriots.

Perhaps not enough of us are patriots. Perhaps we are partially responsible for our present American situation. It seems more citizens do not question their governing bodies, ask why, or hold them accountable by casting their ballots accordingly.

In this Millennium, Americans will have to analyze, understand and actively fight the crisis situations that are raging in our midst. Our first battle is combating a movement that seeks to capture the minds of our youth. Because of the laws that have been passed limiting the teaching of our early American history and Christian values in our schools, there has been a slow degradation of the moral fiber of our youth. This factor, coupled with video games and other media that glorifies violence, war and destruction, is influencing the behavioral patterns of our youth in negative ways. Instead of teaching our children the three R’s of Americanism— Reason, Respect and Responsibility

Education is not the only establishment in crisis in our country. Other areas of grave concern are our economic situation, Social Security, terrorism, and preservation of our Constitution and Second Amendment rights, to name a few. When you consider all of the points of concern in our country today, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Unfortunately when people are confronted with fear and confusion, for whatever reason, there is a tendency to run and hide; but to ignore a problem out of fear is to consent to being an unwitting slave to the system within our government; a system that is currently attempting to destroy our religious freedom and setting our course toward a socialistic form of government. Being an American Patriot means fighting for your safety and Constitutional rights. As a Republic, we are governed by laws based on our Constitution, which is more valuable and pertinent today than when it was approved by our Founding Fathers. You only have to read the Federalist Papers to realize the fear our Founding Fathers had of large government.

In handling the situations we are in today, we must return to the faith of our Founding Fathers. We must restore our faith in our Constitution, in our Country and in God. As American Patriots, we can overcome all of the problems that we are confronting if we stop thinking in color, asking neither the race nor creed of our citizens, asking only that they be true Americans in heart, soul, spirit and purpose. As citizens strive to provide for their families they often put blind faith in those that they elect to represent them. Whether we are Democrats, Independents or Republicans, we must ensure that our representatives in Congress and the Senate raise their voices and casts their votes on laws to be enacted within the framework of our Constitution and in accordance with the will of the people (their constituents).

Over time, our governing bodies have forgotten their duties to our country and her people. From that, a Political Elite has emerged, with corruption, self interests and party politics as the main agenda. As American citizens, we must keep ourselves informed through news channels and the Internet. As patriotic Americans, we must raise our voices and wage a ballot war to ensure that government, at every level, maintains our sovereignty, our Constitution and our American heritage. In waging this war, consider these words expressed by William Shakespeare: In peace nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger. Let’s face it America, we are at war with those who would destroy us from both within and without.

Presently, we are floating on a sea of deception brought about by disinformation designed to confuse the public and keep our eyes off of the ball, the ball being the corrupt power base that our legislative bodies have organized through party politics, self interest and greed. Our Federal Reserve banking system and corporate individuals, lead this nation as they see fit, in pursuit of personal power and wealth. The influence that the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission and the Council of Foreign Relations, who all advocate a One World Government, must be questioned. Many members in our present and past government are members of these organizations. When laws and budgets are proposed, we must always ask: Who will lose and who will gain from these actions?

Whether intentional or not, our government seems to be taking a course of action that could destroy our nation. The first intelligence indicator that we must watch for to stave off destruction is censorship. By its nature, censorship in America would be a slow, argumentative process so citizens will feel they still have a voice even as it’s being silenced. Censorship is a big one, but we also have to recognize other intelligence indicators by asking questions about our governance. Why the massive spending programs, since January 20, 2009? Why the continual, under-the-radar efforts to attack our 2nd Amendment rights? An economic collapse could trigger increased criminal and terrorist activities within our country, especially if Americans are disarmed. LET’S WAKE UP AMERICA!

It is only by questioning the administration and holding elected officials accountable that we can truly have a government ‘by the people, for the people’. As an American Patriot, your job is simple, but vital to the continued existence of our nation. When you hear news or information that you don’t fully understand, discuss it among your friends and colleagues to determine how it might affect you as a citizen. If you feel that it is unjust or an infringement on your economic well-being or security, then imitate the action of the tiger, and let your voice be heard at all levels of government. The National Tea Party movement energized thousands of Americans across the country; however, now is the time to implement Tea Party II. Discuss your concerns at the county and state levels, and demand Resolutions be sent to the Congress and Senate depicting the will of the people.

Problem: the Social Security Crisis

Since President Johnson’s Administration, we have heard over and over again that our Social Security System would be in trouble in the years to come. Since
