Target:
Electoral College -
Quoting Mike Rosen, "But
we are not a democracy, never have been and most
definitely never should be. The Founders - who
abhorred the excesses and tyranny of pure
democracies - designed our system as a
constitutional republic, with a Bill of Rights
to protect individuals from the tyranny of the
majority, along with representative government,
federalism, the separation of powers, checks and
balances, judicial review and the presidential
veto to name a few "anti-democratic"
safeguards....We're not a collective, amorphous
blob, but a confederation of individual states,
each retaining some sovereign powers, unique
qualities, values and agendas."

Our Mission - We seek to promote a return to limited government and maximum liberty in the USA and around the world through decentralized confederation government combined with direct democracy. Our history shows that pure representative democracy, although required during earlier times of limited communications and travel has often failed to preserve liberty and limit the growth of government or its control by special interests. The Swiss Confederation Institute will educate the public on the benefits of expanded direct democracy with the right of referendum & initiative in order for the citizens to curtail or introduce legislation and laws. We also favor the Swiss model of decentralized, limited confederation government as exists in Switzerland today and formerly in America's first government, The Articles of Confederation and later in the Constitution of the Confederate States of America. In addition, we advocate The Swiss concept of “Willensnation,” a growth by attraction—the voluntary association of neighboring states, principalities, cities, and individuals that makes Switzerland a nation created by acts of the free will by voluntarily, peaceful, democratic devolution from other government structures. We believe many nations around the world including the United States of America would do well to study, understand and emulate the successful Swiss example. Aggressive war, growing religious extremism, terrorism, ethnic and religious bigotry and conflict, as well as the often heavy handed tyranny of majorities and special interests could be avoided and supplanted by the Swiss example of direct democracy and confederation. Our goal in the United States is to educate the public on the benefits of a return to decentralized, limited confederation style government similar to the Articles of Confederation, America's first government established by our patriot Founding Fathers. In addition, we seek to promote Swiss style limited government around the world. Swiss Confederation Institute Site Map

The pyramid will be filled with restaurants, a multimedia room, infrastructure and maybe even a hotel – all at a height of almost four kilometers above sea level. Sky lifts on the outer wall of the summit and the pyramid, which is around 90 meters high (some 30 floors), will take visitors to the top.

For example, Executive Order # 6102 prohibited the hoarding of gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates & was used by Roosevelt to confiscate gold in 1933. Another terrorist attack could generate such a climate of fear, panic and public emergency as to cause a political over-reaction that could destroy many of our remaining personal, financial, religious & educational freedoms.

A long but very worthwhile read to learn how the movement has evolved over the years until today with the neocon takeover. Quoting McCarthy: "But really the old, at least partially anti-statist conservative intellectual movement that endured from ’45 to roughly ’69 is gone. What now goes by the name of conservatism is a new authoritarian movement, whose history has not yet been written." The United States needs to return back to a confederation style limited Republic government as was established by America's Founding Fathers.

Swiss Money Secrets From the Sovereign Society - Learn why Switzerland has long been the world's financial safe-haven for wealth.Senator Biden Suggests A Decentralized Iraq - This has been our solution to the Iraqi quagmire for sometime. Why force different ethnic, religious and economic groups into a centralized national state that was originally formed by the British after the Versailles Treaty ending World War One. See, Today's Middle East Conflict: Born at Versailles for more information on how European politicians helped create today's conflict after the first world war.Jim Rogers Sees the Chinese Yuan Becoming A Reserve Currency - Quoting Jim, the Investment Biker, "The US dollar is in the process of losing its status as the world's reserve currency," Rogers said. "The US dollar's going to go down a lot in the next decade or so." Our currency recommendation is go anywhere but the Dollar to the Yuan, Swiss Franc, Euro etc. See The Rogers Fund He also thinks gold could go to $1,000 an ounce, see Bloomberg.com article.

A must read article in the American Conservative by Lew Rockwell. "Did the Swiss puzzle and plot over what kind of government the Iraqis should have? Did they set out to make the rest of the world more like Switzerland and think that other peoples secretly yearned to be Swiss themselves? No, these are imperial inanities." The Arab banks are starting to move reserves out of the US Dollar into Euros and starting to price oil in Euros. American investors should buy gold bullion, (not numismatic coins with high mark-ups, quality gold stocks, foreign currency investments in the Euro and Swiss francs and un-leveraged real estate in rural areas outside major metropolitan areas where real estate prices have exploded. It will not happen tomorrow, next week or probably next year but the Washington Dollar is doomed. It is payback time and we will be paid back in lower living standards and a dollar collapse for the political actions and global debtsSwitzerland Needs To Work Harder at Peacekeeping - Yes, if the Swiss people decide this is what they should do.Switzerland in the CIA World Factbook - A worthwhile read.
