COGNITIVE DISSONANCE & PERCEPTIONS 
IMPEDIMENTS TO CONSTITUTIONIST'S PROGRESS

By definition, cognitive is knowledge or the capacity for it; dissonance being the mingling of discordant sounds, a want of agreement, an incongruity.  Psychologists combined the two words to give us the term Cognitive Dissonance; a condition present in most Americans when it comes to political matters.  Those of us having this condition often find our minds reluctant (or unable) to be objective when confronted with facts. We tend to reject the unfamiliar and to believe that which years of indoctrination have instilled in us regardless of its validity.  

We who are afflicted with Cognitive Dissonance weren't born with it.  It was instilled in us by those we trusted most in our lives; our parents, Pastors, teachers, elected officials and news reporters.  Whether because of intent or ignorance, these people failed to properly inform us of the most important civil subject in our lives;  it being our nation's unbiblical, unconstitutional, usurious, and enslaving monetary policy and the resultant financial/industrial cartel which controls us through its media and minions in government. 

In its effort to "condition" these united States for its role in the "New World Order" of Global governance, this cartel's minions have diluted and in many cases eliminated what we were taught were inalienable God given rights secured for us by our Bill of Rights. For the united States, Global governance is about to become a reality. Thanks to President Clinton and Executive Order 13107 (see www.idir.net/~cnc/), the policies and procedures found in the Charter of the United  Nations and the treaties it has spawned are being TREATED as the Supreme Law of our land. 
  
This dilution and elimination of rights has given birth to thousands of organizations, each professing to be fighting to stop further encroachment into and/or the  
restoration of their "right" of special interest.  The result is millions of concerned, frustrated, and compartmentalized Americans living in a conquered land trying to Tame the Tyrant through reactive rather than proactive measures; an impossibility.  

Whether these thousands of organizations are the creation of those promoting Global governance at the expense of the rights and liberties intended for us by our nation's founding fathers or of well meaning women and men inflicted with severe cases of Cognitive Dissonance and disinformation is of little consequence. They have served the purpose of the cartel by dividing "we the concerned" into organizations focusing: 
  
on our 1st amendment rights regarding truth in media, freedom of the press, ways to freely practice our religious beliefs and to peaceably assemble. 

on minimizing the "infringement"of our right to keep and bear arms as intended by the 2nd amendment;  

on our 4th amendment right to be secure in our homes rather than to have "jack booted" police entering them without probable cause or suitable warrants and in cases, burning them down. 

on our right to own and control property as intended by the 5th and 14th 
amendments to our Constitution, 
  
on our 6th amendment rights to speedy trials by impartial juries who are fully informed of their right to judge both the facts and the law and who are presented all the facts and not just those deemed appropriate by a judge operating on behalf of the cartel. 

on the intentional destruction of our once robust economy resulting from the American System of Economic Independence created by the policies, principles and procedures of our nation's founding documents. on defanging the IRS  

And the beat goes on with still others organized to combat what they PERCEIVE to be a problem and a threat to their ability to live their life in accordance with God's will as reflected in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. 

Is it Cognitive Dissonance that's keeping Americans from accepting that 545 officials in our Federal government are responsible for having taken and perpetuated the "Federal action" alluded to by our Republican governors in 1994 when they said "Federal action has exceeded the clear bounds of its jurisdiction under the  
Constitution and thus violated rights guaranteed to the  people?" Is it the force that keeps most organizations appealing to Congress to uphold the Constitution that was though it's clear Congress is under the globalist's control?  Is it the Achille's Heel of those seeking lawful government  who must overcome the PERCEPTION that government officials in Washington, D.C. have their interest at heart and will be responsive to them or their desire for compliance with the Constitution? 

Unless and until the well intentioned but divided Americans accept the truth of the governors allegation, the fact that a problem is rarely solved by treating its symptoms, and the logic of Medori Severi's observation saying: "until we abandon our manifold private agendas and unite, we will merely be hapless observers standing at the bottom of a dark, deep pit, wistfully hoping to save the world, but really doing little more than breaking the fall of compatriots who are pushed in on top of us. Only by uniting in a common effort devoid of subjective paradigms will we be able to mold the human spirit upon which we may ascend to freedom.  That is the real and true meaning of the term, ‘united States'; in the modern sense, the people of America united to defeat Fascism, the ancient and eternal enemy of all humankind," they will continue to allow the evils of cognitive dissonance and erroneous perceptions to keep them divided and their effectiveness limited.  

We in the CNC pray for the day when enough people will accept reality - to include the need for unity of spirit and action in implementing a pro-active plan dedicated to reclaiming control of government - for only then can the PERCEIVED problems confronting America be solved by their reclaiming control of government and returning it to within the limits prescribed by the Constitution.
