Many of our leaders should be in prison for belonging to the
secret elite organizations. It is the law. Passed under Adams and then modified in 1994.

The elite organizations who meet behind closed doors (Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, CFR, G8) should be exposed and the American members who go (bankers, journalists, the super rich, royals, and politicians). No "secret meeting of elite" without press, etc. is democracy. It is illegal to represent us without election or appointment (by Congressional approval) to other countries.

Our Presidents and past Presidents are on our tax dole. Yet they do this behind our backs.

That act would be revolutionary since they've been gaining power since the middle of the last century. Anyone wanting power or office goes to them. We are being ruled not by elections but by "selection" by a world oligarchy.

Democracy can only function in the open. We give them power by ignoring it.

We should enforce the Logan Act.

Logan Act-

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994.<1>

Passed under the administration of President John Adams during tension between the U.S. and France, it was named for Dr. George Logan of Pennsylvania, who engaged in semi-negotiations with France during the Quasi-War.

Text of the law
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004)."

1. Agreed, but...
...didn't the GOP Supremes clarify what private groups are allowed and not allowed to do?

I think it was that boy scouts ruling that allows them to discriminate.

Isn't that the excuse used?

2. Private groups such as the Boy Scots is one thing.
Secret world meetings deciding and dividing up our world by non-elected representatives is another.

If these secret organizations aren't dangerous why don't they list them on their bios? Talk about the issues and decisions, etc. It is not in our best interest.

4. Just checking...
...because you know that's probably the excuse they would use.
