"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, (i.e., the "business cycle") the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
The “New Agenda for America” (NAA) is a set of policy planks that I feel most American’s already support but ironically have no support from the officials we have elected to represent us. It can also be thought of as notice to our elected representatives that you had better start representing the American People and not the interests of Multi-National Corporations and other global elites.
The general purpose of the NAA is to present a set of policy planks which address some of the most challenging issues of our day. The immediate purpose is to challenge one of the most fraudulent Presidential Elections in the history of this country. All candidate, with the exception of Ron Paul, are nothing more than prostitutes for Multi-National Corporate interests. So I am challenging the Presidential Candidates to adopt this agenda or explain why they won't. Could make for some interesting debate. And that is exactly the point.
So I now invite you to watch the first 3 "New Agenda for America" videos. If your at work go grab a hot cup of coffee. If your at home go roll a fatty, grab a beer, or pour a yourself a cold scotch. I wouldn't recommend you do all three. And if you like what you see here I'll share some ways that you might help make the "New Agenda for America" go "viral," across the internet, in 2008. We just might stop the downward spiral in which we find ourselves.
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list. It is not intended to solve all the world's problems overnight. But it is intended to stop the movement towards a One World Corpocracy dead in it's tracks. Click here to access additional videos and links associated with each plank:
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replace the Federal Reserve with a People's Reserve which allows public oversight (10) Absolute support for Net Neutrality
The Internet is both our Library of Alexandria as well as our Gutenberg Press. It has allowed us to circumvent and access sources of news that contradict the corporate controlled media. It has allowed us to share our ideas with anyone that might be interested for virtually no cost. It is no surprise that corporate interests are trying hard to strip these capabilities. We should not let this opportunity fall from our grasp. If we're lucky we might just change the course of US history for the better. Now that would be a change! Here are some ideas to help "get the word out" on the "New Agenda for America"
(1) Send a link to this website, and this specific webpage, to all your friends (2) Place links to www.newagecitizen.com at your websites, "facebook pages" etc. (3) Distribute NAA mini-flyers to friends, social groups etc. Here is the link to the "New Age Agenda" mini-flyer *.pdf document. You should be able to print the *.pdf mini-flyers on ANY printer:
I'm hoping to start speaking publicly about the "New Agenda for America" at small venues: Veterans Halls etc. in the next month or so. But I was also thinking that anyone could throw together a small party to promote the NAA. And it could be a great excuse for bringing friends together.
In fact this "home party" idea could be used for any "grass roots" initiative.
I'm thinking that you could probably have little parties to watch the videos with groups of friends in order to send this thing "viral." I actually think the internet has the potential to act as catalyst to a massive "rising up" by the American people.
As far as the home parties. I've got to believe that anyone with a laptop, wireless internet connectivity and a large screen TV could send the signal from the laptop to the TV. This could easily allow up to 30 people to watch this together: and watching it together is extremely important. Even today you could show the first 3 videos in this way:
(1) The Overview; (2) Re-Legalizing Marijuana for Adult Americans and (3) Stopping both Legal and Illegal Immigration.
These initial 3 videos are constantly accessible through the following link:
It seems to me these first three videos could generate a lot of conversation. And given the “density” of these talks these 30 minutes might even be pushing it for a group presentation.
I also have hundreds of related videos available through my YouTube account:
Basically you would bring up each video on your laptop in full screen mode. Of course this assumes you can connect the laptop to the internet via a router or physical connection. Then simply reroute the signal to the "Big Screen" TV via cables, or possibly through a Bluetooth connection. After the videos are played the host could moderate informal discussion on the videos and future actions on promoting the "New Agenda for America."
But then where does it go from there? More and more people start discussing the merits of the various planks. People start asking the 2008 Presidential candidates where they stand on these various planks. We record there answers and put them up on YouTube for the world to hear.
Here are a few sample questions people might want to ask the 2008 Presidential Candidates:
* "With nearly 80% of the American People wanting restrictions on Legal/Illegal Immigration . . . why is it none of the major 2008 Presidential Candidates support their constituents? Doesn't this basically belie the notion of a "Representative Democracy?" And why should we consider voting for any of you "traitors to the American People?"
* "Doesn't legalizing Marijuana for adults actually make sense when you consider that it would deprive Mexican Drug Cartels and local street gangs of their profits and would immediately defund their operations? And besides, if you haven't noticed, Marijuana prohibition has not worked real well anyway. So why do you continue to support Marijuana prohibition? When are you going to stop supporting Marijuana prohibition?"
* "Our founding fathers were opposed to a Central Bank, yet in 1913 they created one through the establishment of the Federal Reserve. Many other presidents, including JFK, thought that the Federal Reserve should be eliminated. Where do you stand on this issue? Does it bother you that the Federal Reserve is neither a federal entity, and is run by global elites that have little regard for the welfare of the American people?”
* "There are only 150,000 jobs created each year that require various college degrees, yet there 450,000 people graduating with these degrees each year: meaning that 300,000/year are not finding jobs. In light of this shouldn't you be eliminating the H1-B, and other visa programs, rather than pushing to raise the annual number of H1-B's from 65,000 to 200,000 a year?”
* "You were finally pressured into voting for a fence along the Mexican-American border but then never provided the money to build it. Why should we believe that you are not serving the interests of Multi-National Corporations that are purposely trying to drive down wages by allowing waves of Illegal Aliens to enter this country? Why should I consider voting for you?"
Well, those were just some sample questions off the top of my head.
I’m quite certain many people think the “New Agenda for America” is crazy. In my defense let me just remind you of the alternative. Right now China, through it’s exploitation of “slave labor” and Saudi Arabia, through its control of the world’s lifeblood (oil), is buying big chunks of America right out from under our feet. We are being colonized by global wealth and should we allow this to continue, will be left literally destitute.
Just as Thomas Paine wrote “Common Sense” to stop the colonization of America by Great Britain I am promoting the “New Agenda for America” to stop this Global Elite from throwing the America Working Class to the curb. It may be crazy but I’m just not ready to accept the alternative.
Here is the latest, and probably most esthetic graphic file that I have produced so far:
These are the first graphic files (*.jpg) that I've put together to help the NAA go "Viral" through the internet.
This is the graphic I think most people would like to initially post at their websites:
Let me make clear that I have no fantasy that I could ever command enough votes to win the 2008 Presidency. But the "presidential graphic" puts a face on the "agenda" and hopefully helps promote the live talks I want to give to promote the agenda. In point of fact my preferred candidate at this moment is still Ron Paul.
Instructions for inserting graphic link onto your website:
(1) Just Copy/Paste one/both of the above graphics onto your web page. (2) Then "Right Click" on the image and enter the following links into the hyperlink property field:
Now these are some additional notes that outline my intended strategy, for promoting the "New Agenda for America" over the next few months:
* None of the likely candidates for President (2008) will meet the needs of the American People on a variety of essential issues (e.g., restricting either Legal or Illegal Immigration and other issues covered within the planks of the NAA).
* The "New Agenda for America" is intended to force discussion on obvious solutions to various social problems on behalf of the fast-dwindling field of Democratic/Republican candidates.
* We need to put an immediate stop to the millions of foreclosures that are set to occur as the economy slows in order to preserve the social fabric of the American family. I am thinking about joining a "Tax Day" Protest (April 15th Calling for and end to the Federal Reserve), through a protest at Ford World Headquarter (Dearborn, MI) in order to (1) promote the NAA and (2) to challenge the Presidential Candidates to offer a better solution. It needs to happen now, before the damage escalates.
* Sending Illegal's back home (Illegal Aliens and Visa Overstays) would create immediate openings for US workers to fill. Again, this needs to happen now!
* Knowing full well that I don't have a snowballs chance in hell -- of actually winning the 2008 Presidency -- I start promoting myself as a "write in" candidate. Hopefully "internet viral" techniques are picked up by the "web community" to send it viral: thus, promoting discussion of the 9 current planks of the NAA. I do think it important to attach a personality to the NAA. And, after all, I did conceive of the agenda and am the presenter of the first 3 videos concerning the NAA.
* If we succeed it forces the 2008 Presidential Candidates to admit that they really have no intention of doing the American People's will (e.g., putting an immediate stop to foreclosures and also putting a stop to all further visas). After all, if we cannot even employ all of our own people, we have no business bringing in additional workers.
That is the initial strategy. The reality is that this present economic system is quite literally FUBAR (Fouled Up Beyond Any Recovery). We need a period of years to assess who is responsible for this betrayal of the American Working Class; to determine what will be required to facilitate normalcy to Legal US workers during this period and finally, to determine a future path to sustainability and balance. The system is about to crash.
The global elites want to kick the American Working Class to the curb and unfortunately they have also selected the Presidential Candidates for 2008. All these initiatives are intended to "bum rush" the American people with an onslaught of younger Legal and Illegal Immigrants. Deals amongst the global elite have already guaranteed the colonization of America by foreign elites: should we not act now. The American People simply have no realistic choice other that Ron Paul . . . and that is no sure thing. Furthermore, things (above) really need to start happening right away.
At any rate, just looking for feedback here.Groups can now post the files with manually attached hyperlinks to www.newagecitizen.com or sub pages. Yes, I am cognizant that these initial graphics have room for improvement. Yes, I am cognizant that there are better methods for doing this.
Now, posting these graphic links to a 'Face Book" page is not a big deal. But I do realize the sensitivity of such a commitment for websites that only address a single issue . . . and are concerned about "turning off" some of their members with a broad, controversial agenda.. One suggestion I would offer is not to endorse it, but rather just say. "Hey, we admit we only support the Immigration Plank of the NAA.." But we including the graphic link, at our website, because we believe a true discussion of these issues, by the Presidential Candidates, IS required. And we do agree that the NAA is worthy of debate and discussion, in any case.
That way you don't have to commit to supporting the "New Agenda for America" I am also thinking of setting up a page of links, to the webpage that decide to run either of these graphic links.
This is in no way, a comprehensive list. But they are very good articles and shed light on some of the issues that are addressed within the "New Agenda for America"

Note: This is a transcript of the YouTube video of the same name.
This 8 minute talk provides an overview of the "New Agenda for America." Links to additional and future videos concerning the "New Agenda for America" are provided in this video. Today I would like to provide an overview of the “New Agenda for America” (NAA):
What is it. What is it’s purpose? And what does it have to do with the 2008 Presidential Elections?
(1) First, what is “New Agenda for America”?
The “New Agenda for America” is a set of policy planks that I feel most American’s already support but ironically have no support from the officials we have elected to represent us. It can also be thought of as notice to our elected representatives that you had better start representing the American People and not the interests of Multi-National Corporations and other global elites.
Here are the initial planks comprising the “New Agenda for America”
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replacement of the "Federal Reserve" with a "People's Reserve" which has Congressional oversight.
(2) What is the purpose of NAA?
The primary purpose of NAA is to influence the 2008 Presidential Elections by having average citizens demand to know exactly where their representatives stand on Universal Health Care, Immigration, Marijuana Re-Legalization and other issues of primary importance to the American people. There has never been a period of history where the American people have been at such odds with our President, our Congress and with most of the Presidential Candidates. There has also never been any recent period of history where so many American workers have felt so uncertain about their futures. And finally, there has never been a recent period of American history where the American people have been so skeptical of the mainstream media.
The “New Agenda for America” (NAA) is a set of policy planks aimed at stopping the betrayal of the American working class by global elites who have purposely set the stage for the disenfranchisement of millions of Americans. Some economists fear that a “perfect storm” of economic and environmental factors could soon result in the largest depression in US history. It is intended to set the stage for a “time out” so we can figure out exactly what has happened to us since “911” and to also figure out the best course for moving forward as a nation and as a people. Hopefully what we do, from this point forward, will pave the way for an alternative, to the New World Order, that will be worthy of emulation in other countries because it just makes so much sense.
This agenda screams for an end to what I like to call “unnecessary Incrementalism.” Unnecessary Incrementalism can be defined as taking baby steps, on legislative matters, which insure that the will of the American People is never implemented -- most often through the pressure of Corporate interests which effectively ignore the will of the people. Let me cite some examples. Why are we the only industrialized nation that does not provide Universal Healthcare to its people? Why is Marijuana still illegal for the sick as well as adult Americans? Why won’t our federal government enforce our immigration laws? Why are we allowing 3 to 5 million Legal and Illegal Immigrants into this country every year when we cannot find enough jobs for our own people and we are running short of water and other resources? Why do we allow private banks to create money out of thin are and to then benefit from loaning it back to us?
(3) What does the “New Agenda for America” have to do with the 2008 Presidential Elections?
Everything. The “New Agenda for America” represents what most Americans want. Yet, with the exception of Ron Paul, it is at odds with what most Democratic and Republican presidential candidates are willing to deliver. A perfect example was Hillary Clinton’s support for Governor Spitzer’s attempt to give driver’s licenses, and therefore voting privileges, to Illegal Aliens. Nearly 80 percent of the American public was vehemently opposed.
Why are all the Democratic candidates pushing for Comprehensive Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants despite strong opposition from the American people? Why is it that only Ron Paul will support the Legalization of Marijuana for Adult Americans when most Americans want Marijuana prohibition to end? How do we stand by as they talk about their leadership abilities when what we want to know is why they continue to ignore the will of the American people? In point of fact nearly all of the 2008 Presidential candidates are not leaders at all but followers of the agenda provided to them by their Multi-National Corporate backers. Why should we vote for any of them?
Truth be told what I think we are looking at right now is the greatest threat to the American working class since the Great Depression. And even that may understate the condition of our republic. It may be a more accurate assessment to say that we are at a turning point in civilization in which the “invisible hand of lassie fair capitalism no longer serves the interests of American workers, or the interests of workers throughout this emerging global empire.
This “old order” has finally been exposed as nothing more than an elaborate ponzi scheme engineered by an emerging global elite. And now we are moving towards and “End Game” where they expect the American working class to shoulder the burden of their bad policies and misjudgments as they loose their jobs to China and their homes to foreclosure.
This grim assessment is increasingly being predicted by more Americans and economists with each passing day. The publics dissatisfaction is reflected in some of the lowest approval ratings - in recorded history - for the President and both major parties: democrats and republicans. Grim predictions for our countries future is shared accross the political spectrum: from conservatives such as Pat Buchannan to liberals such as Naomi Klein. The NAA provides a framework with which to address these challenges and betrayals – and hopefully provides a framework from which we can chart a different course for the future of the United States and the American working class.
This loss of confidence in the old order brings us to a turning point in civilization where we could move in any number of directions. It is up to us to become informed enough to make sure this new direction is sustainable and benefits the interests of the American people.
