How can governments be prevented from committing crime with impunity?

"At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account."

200 year old warnings continue to be ignored ...
by W. Finnerty Mon Feb 11, 2013 08:46

Despite the fact that former President of the Republic of the United States of America Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) -- who, incidentally, taught himself to translate the very early (and of controversially pre-historic Irish origin perhaps) "Oisà n in Tir na n-"g" tale (http://tinyurl.com/ct3pq9j) from the version of the ancient Celtic language still in use in Ireland and Scotland -- and who is still widely regarded as one of the most talented and most accomplished lawyer/politicians of all time, his many worries, observations, conclusions, together with his many very strongly worded warnings about the "money power banksters", and their "system of banking", continue to be ignored nonetheless by all (or almost all) leading lawyers and politicians of our own time: COMPLETELY ignored, it seems (to me).

My research suggests that Thomas Jefferson's worries, observations, conclusions, and warnings about the banksters are generally correct and justified, and that they still all have extremely important validity and application today: perhaps much more so (in some respects) than during his lifetime -- allowing (for example) for the "money power" phenomenon of NATO type "thermonuclear warmongering" and bullying activities connected with global "regime change" operations and ambitions which we have these days -- and which was something Thomas Jefferson and his contemporaries did not have to concern themselves about in any way.

In an effort to try and remind people of Thomas Jefferson's worries, observations, conclusions, and severe warnings about the banksters, an e-mail titled "Promissory Notes, Bonds, and Futurity" was sent yesterday to the United Nations which included (among others) the following two statements made by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to his friend John Taylor dated May 28th 1816:

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated ('to see as having been rejected by God and without hope of salvation').

"I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens."

The full text of yesterday's e-mail (dated February 10th 2013) to the UN can be viewed at:

The same e-mail, as can be seen at the www address just above, also contained the following sentence:

"Democracy will rise superior to the money power, Prime Minister Enda Kenny: http://tinyurl.com/abrvur3"

Although the "speculation" represented by the sentence just above is at the present time a VERY shaky proposition (in my opinion), I nevertheless believe it still MIGHT come true: mostly because of the Internet, and the way the Internet makes it so much more difficult for the banksters -- and their many very willing-and-able accomplices in governments and in the MSM (Main Stream Media) -- to keep on fooling the vast majority of "the people" so successfully, than it was for them to do during the days of Thomas Jefferson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson) and his contemporaries, and for most of the time since then.

Some examples of the kind of "fooling the people" devices I have in mind, which are just a few present-day samples of a considerably larger "box of tricks" the banksters have been very successfully using to deceive and "to rob 'the people' blind" in a very wide range of extremely far-reaching ways for centuries (I believe), can be viewed in the comment titled:
"Don't forget the 'Euribor' complication, which gets VERY complicated"

How are governments to be prevented from committing crime with impunity?

"There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, IF  WELL  INFORMED, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government. "
