  1. Why it was called “The New World”

  2. Two Political PhilosophiesGenerate Two OppositePolitical Systems: Capitalism  Communism Islamism

  3. Capitalism • From the Latin word: “Capita” (Head) • Brain • Intellectual Development • Its roots come from the Judeo-Christian value that the individual is a child of God.

  4. Communism • Comes from Atheism and Materialism • Values a Society of individuals over the individual itself • The word “Society” is an abstract concept which values Quantity (productivity of the group) over Quality (the dignity of the individual)

  5. What History Teaches: • Why have all major revolutions (costing immensely in human lives) failed to achieve freedom and prosperity? • Why have they resulted in Terror, War, Instability, and more Tyranny instead? • Why was America able to succeed and create a whole new world of Freedom and Prosperity instead?

  6. Why America Succeeded • A few individuals saw new possibilities in human history. They saw the importance of the design of the system and were capable of building institutions which made the respect of individual dignity an everyday reality. • This system is specially designed to promote the maximum intellectual potential of each individual, and making it a real fact.

  7. Western Institutions(levels of power) The top of the pyramid represents the highest level of government. Fewer and most important functions. Federal Gov’t The middle level represents the States and the functions related to the States. State Government The bottom level represents Local Government. More functions related to daily life at the individual’s reach. Local Government

  8. Communities and Counties Each community generates its own natural leaders from the grassroots in upwards directions. The society values life and dignity of individuals, which enables them to reach their maximum potential. Continuous contact between individuals and representatives allows the best leaders to rise. Tyrannical forces are prevented. Representatives, Grassroots Organizations, Private Charities, Town Hall Meetings, Tea Party Orgs., etc.

  9. States existed prior to Washington DC Each state has its own law, its own independence. Each state only conceded to the Central Government matters beyond its capabilities. CONGRESS = EXECUTIVE = JUDICIAL

  10. Federal Goverment The source of power is from the Bottom Up (from “We The People”) Higher levels of Government were delegated limited powers by “We The People”: - Defense - Immigration - Currency - Foreign Policy - etc. CONGRESS = EXECUTIVE = JUDICIAL Equal power, counter-balances These powers concern the whole country.

  11. Federal System • Power is spread to every remote community in the country • Equal opportunities for each individual regardless of location • The whole country develops in harmony (education, sciences, economy) • The whole country develops defenses against foreign penetration and indoctrination • Families can live and enjoy every part of the country

  12. Communist Institutions(levels of power) The top of the pyramid represents the highest level of government. More functions and control of individual’s daily life. Federal Gov’t State Government The middle level represents the States. Responds to Federal Government. The bottom level represents Local Government. Responds to State and Federal Government. Deprived of powers. No decision making for individuals. Local Gov’t

  13. Communist Institutions Executive Power absorbs Congress and Judicial Power. No Balance of Power. Representatives depend on the President. Significant pressure to conform. Unable to impeach the president. Judiciary is unable to stop unconstitutional laws. Executive power controls: Economy, immigration, defense, foreign policy. Control over every state, community, and individual. Legisl. <EXECUTIVE> Judiciary The President is Supreme

  14. States under Communism President appoints Representatives, Governors, etc. Many more Federal Government employees than State employees. State Government depends on the Federal Government. State Taxes go to the Executive Branch of Government. States cannot keep their wealth because the Federal Government decides appropriations. NO REPRESENTATION

  15. Communities, Counties, Political Parties, and Unions Federal Government appoints “heads” of every organization. Federal Government controls them from a distance. Officials are appointed from the top, rather than emerging naturally from the grassroots. Isolated and Powerless Individuals – NO OPPORTUNITIES Government controls development of intellectual potential since it controls curricula and who can study.

  16. Consequences • The country becomes developed only around the Federal Capital where the Economic and Political Power are. • Population concentrates around the Capital, leaving the rest of the country desolated and undeveloped. • Undefended – Guerillas, Terrorists, Drug Cartels, etc., can infiltrate. • No Private Institutions or Charities. • No Private Relations above Social Relations with the community, (such as families), will remain. • Everything, even individual minds and souls, belongs to the tyrant.

  17. Consequences For Individuals • Whereas Capitalism generates citizens, entrepreneurs, self-confident, self-thinkers who know their rights and who own their country, to which they are strongly identified, and to which they will fight and defend it to death, • Tyrannies as communist socialism, islamism, etc., produce individuals corrupted and terrified by extortion. • Or, miserable inhabitants owning nothing deprived from any possibility of improvement, mutilated from any intellectual potential, reduced to ignorance, and to the slavery of dictated jobs from above.

  18. Consequences through terror: Control of individual mindsNOT CITIZENS, JUST INHABITANTS • Accustomed to wait for everything provided for them from an above power, and always fearing their oppressors, individuals remain lazy… We have already seen them among people coming from totalitarian countries. They are easily recognized for their expressions of fear. • Individuals as those, convinced that everything is impossible, don’t have initiatives, don’t have rights, do not identify with a country that doesn’t belong to them. • They owe everything they own and even everything they are to the tyrant, to whom they adore as a god, more than their own family – to the point to denounce his own parents or siblings to please the tyrant.

  19. Consequences on Society and Humankind • Human history shows every scientific advance and significant discovery for improving life as originated approximately 250 years ago. • The birth of America with the introduction of Capitalism, totally changed the political organization, improving life for all humankind, at an increased pace as never before. • What was achieved in 250 years had not been achieved in 10,000 years of human history. • Should America be detained on its career forward, paralyzed with a political system previous to its existence? • The entire humankind would be deprived from any scientific advance, sent into the darkness, into backwardness, and detained in history.

  20. The Worst Consequences • Not only a nation’s individuals will remain deprived from their personal talents to be potentiated, but even worse: • America and Humankind will be deprived from the richness which those talented individuals would have brought along. • Talents which would never be recuperated, and that now will remain buried forever.

  21. What History Teaches • History has proven the impossibility to implement capitalism without changing the old institutions of concentration of power. • And so, it is impossible to implement a system of concentration of power into a system where power spreads through the grassroots, as capitalism does. • That is why Capitalism is stronger than Communism, Islamism, or any monarchy.

  22. Will we take back America? • “Is it possible or impossible to transmit the experience of those who had suffered to those who have yet to suffer?” • “Is it possible or impossible to warn someone of danger?” • “Could tremendous experience of suffering be transmitted to others so they won’t have to suffer?” • “Is it possible that one part of humanity can warn another part of humanity so they can take a different path?” - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
