PERFECT Con Job

by Jack Powers

*In order to have the PERFECT Con Job, you must do 2 things*

#1 Lie. Make people believe something that is not true.
#2 Confuse. Make the lie seem to dispute the truth just in its belief

It's just like when on CNN or FOX they say "Some People Say", or "We all know that this is true, but". Yet in that case they are making it seem as if it is "Common Knowledge" as they bypass the lie as being fact, and even more so with the 2nd Amendment and the Military Industrial Complex. The 2nd Amendment was to STOP the Military Industrial Complex, but instead, they have turned it into being an "Effective Tool" to promote the M.I.C. and I am going to explain to you how they did that.

I am not going to give you a bunch of links. You can look these up yourself. I am just going to tell you the story, and then you can "fact check" it all yourself.

When the 2nd Amendment was written into the final Constitution of the United States of America, it was in fact TAKEN from the individual "State Constitutions". They were a little more "wordy" in their outline of it, and it is those "Extra Words" that were not copied which makes the 2nd Amendment vague enough to allow for this Con to take place.

The 2nd Amendment did NOT declare a "Right to Bear Arms". That honor goes to the British Bill of Rights of 1689. The ONLY thing the 2nd Amendment does, is to reference it.

No, in fact the 2nd Amendment DECLARES a Militia. For a specific purpose. The purpose is stated more clearly in the "State Constitutions" but is hidden from the final draft for all the States. The purpose is, (which is clearly outlined in the State Constitutions) that:

"As Standing Armies are Corrupt, and should NOT be kept up in Peacetime".

Now to understand this, you have to go clear across the Ocean and to the History of War. Basically war was always started by an "Elite Few" and the trick was always to drag your Citizens into War.

Citizens throughout history have HATED this, and many NEW forms of Government and Laws have come up in order to combat this, but at the time of the transition from Colonies to Independent States, this issue was at the forefront in Europe. Standing Armies.

It really did not matter if it was a King or a Queen or a Government which had this "Standing Army".... they were in fact corrupt. They would be supported by the Elite, and they would only have "Elite Interests" and they would constantly start Wars, and then DRAG a vast number of Citizens into the War to die in it. Leaving families torn and unable to make due. They were having a real tough time in Europe getting rid of these "Standing Armies", and so when the Colonies decided to split from Imperial England, they FIRST wanted to write it into their Constitutions that they would not allow the Government to have a "Standing Army". A militia of Citizens was all that was needed for defense. Standing Armies, again are corrupt.

Not so primitive after all were they? What is your problem today? Yes, well this was not new for them either, and so this is why they wrote the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution. The North and the South had differing reasons why they wanted it. The North for the stated reason, and the South in order to protect their Slavery. They did not want any Northern Run Government Army that could threaten their Militia's that they used to keep their Slavery going. Yet either way, THAT was what the 2nd Amendment was about.

Of course this did not "Sit Well" with the Elite. They of course wanted to conduct War, and they not only wanted War, but constant War, where money could be spent on machinery that would be destroyed, families lose their property (which they inherit) and they can win a PRIZE defeating an enemy Government, taking all their Gold, which of course will never trickle down to the insignificant POOR that do all the fighting. Having a "Citizens Militia" armed and trained by them and them only, and funded by them only, would not do the bidding of what they always want to create, from way back in Roman Times...

"A Military Industrial Complex"

So, what they did BEFORE 1902 was to pay Mercenaries, and Covertly fund groups to do their bidding, but it was not very effective. In order to conduct a "Good War"... you need well trained Soldiers and you need them in MASS. When deciding to go to War, you do not have enough time to train and arm a bunch of neophyte citizens. What you really need is this "Standing Army". Yet the 2nd Amendment had been "ratified" by all the States and it was part of the Constitution and it could NOT be changed! Or...

Could it?

In 1902 the Dick Act was passed "without ratification of all the States" and it's entire purpose was to FIX this situation. In fact to enable a "Standing Army". This is where the Con began, and it is BRILLIANT!

It's purpose was to basically split up that 2nd Amendment Militia which was ineffective when wanting to start wars. Few manned it, and few trained. Even fewer armed it. As well, back in 1900 people were living a pretty peaceful life. The murder rate was NOTHING compared (per capita) as to today, nor was the Suicide Rate. People were living quite well under the 2nd Amendment and very limited fear of War. The Dick Act was about to change that. Just LOOK at how they sold it. A total Con Job!

"DICK ACT of 1902 . . . CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) THE TRUMP CARD ENACTED BY CONGRESS FURTHER ASSERTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT AS UNOUTCHABLE"

So they started right away! No longer was the 2nd Amendment about a Standing Army. Do you see "Standing Army" written anywhere in there? Yet that was what it did. It had nothing to do with guns. It was about setting up 3 factions of "Standing Armies" all funded and supplied by the Federal or State Governments. Totally destroying the 2nd Amendment in fact!

As well... here comes the Con. Right in the TITLE. "Gun Control Forbidden". <== This had nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment! This had to do with the "Right to Bear Arms" of 1689!

NO, in fact selling the idea that they were to "Stop Gun Control" (which really was of no issue anyway)... they were starting the foundation they needed for the Military Industrial Complex.

Yet that was just the HORN blowing on the M.I.C. as to conduct War, you need "fodder for war" and you want them "Armed and Trained" for war, and you want to ALWAYS have your citizens armed and trained, as you do not have time, as an Elite that wishes to start a war, to train a bunch of neophytes! You need them ALWAYS armed and ALWAYS trained... and how do you do that?

FEAR!

Spread the rumor around that the Government is going to come and take those Guns. They will arm themselves! Tell them that it is their "Constitutional Right" under the 2nd Amendment to be armed, and Patriotism along with defending their RIGHTS will fuel the arming and training... and you do not even have to (as an Elite) spend any money on it... UNTIL you call on them, to go to War.

So in fact, what they have done, with this BRILLIANT CON is to get YOU to do what the 2nd Amendment was trying to prevent. Give THEM (the Elite) a "Standing Army"... and in fact fight for it, and keep yourselves armed and trained FOR it!

Never mind that it causes Murders and Suicides to "Skyrocket" as they have since 1902. Never mind that you have more crime and specifically "Gun Crime" in your Society! The Elite don't care about that! All they care about is being able to start Wars and Conduct Wars and have a bunch of neophytes FIGHT their wars, and all the time thinking they are fighting for "their rights and their liberty"!

That is how they pulled off the most successful Con ever heard of. Turn an Amendment that was to stop a Military Industrial Complex into a TOOL to promote and make viable a Military Industrial Complex.
