Ashcroft Rejected, Nader Accepted WHO’S THE REAL CABINET? February 1st, 2001 Linda Jones President of the United States Monticello 931 Thomas Jefferson Pkwy Charlottesville VA 22902-7148 Contact: cea-usa@egroups.com My Fellow Americans, Perhaps the logic expressed in the following announcement is not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure general favor. A long habit of thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides, and time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of suppressing the natural questioning of artificial custom – and in other matters, as well, which might never have been thought of, had not the sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry – and as corporate King George Bush has undertaken in his own right to support the corporate Congress in what he calls theirs, and as the good people of this country and the world are grievously oppressed by the combination, we have a natural right to inquire into the pretensions of the corporate government’s arms, and equally to reject the usurpation of either. The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of mankind. Many circumstances – both tragic and glorious – have and will arise that are not only local, but universal. The laying a country desolate with fire, sword and impoverishment, declaring war against the natural rights of all mankind and life on Earth, and extirpating the defenders thereof from the face of our planet, is the concern of every man and woman to whom nature has given the power of feeling, of which class, regardless of party censure, I am. As is obvious to all, the corporate King is fed by bribes. As is obvious to all, the corporate Congress is fed by bribes. As is obvious to many, the corporate judges of “our” courts are fed by bribes. To whom, then, are these criminals accountable? Obviously not to the natural people of our “democracy”, but to artificial and fraudulent entities. The appointing to “our” Cabinet of accredited corporate criminals is far more absurd and fraudulent than any attempt by conscientious individuals to harness their natural powers of initiative in appointing a genuine citizens’ Cabinet of the United States. In doing so, I, self-employed President Linda Jones, have appointed a provisional Citizens Executive Administration and encourage the expressions of the people to absolve all counter-logical, anti-ecological, artificial rules, regulations, taxes, monies and congresses, and to establish a democratic and ecological Citizens Congress, Citizens Court and Citizens Currency. Needless to say, John Ashcroft may have been appointed attorney general of the artificial corporate administration, but I’ve drafted Ralph Nader as the attorney general of the natural citizens administration until a genuine Citizens Congress manifests itself and appoints another. The same goes for all appointees, as previously declared, of the genuine government of the United States of America. (Please see below.) Linda Jones President of the United States President Jones Orders US Troops Out of Foreign Territories SUPPORT OUR TROOPS – BRING ‘EM HOME January 25th, 2001 Linda Jones President of the United States Monticello 931 Thomas Jefferson Pkwy Charlottesville VA 22902-7148 Contact: cea-usa@egroups.com My Fellow Americans, As stated simply and eloquently by President Eisenhower, “Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.” Today we all face difficult choices. Bombarded and confused by a storm of corporate disinformation, we’re routinely led toward our own self-destruction as individuals and as a society. But if we’re to survive our present crisis and prosper in future years, we must pray in silence, listen to our conscience, and act according to the laws of nature and common sense. In the name of God, America, our children, our dogs, our cats and planet Earth, I ask you to ask yourself some simple questions: Must we continue on the path toward economic, nuclear, biochemical and ecological self-destruction? Or shall we reallocate our energies and resources toward building a prosperous, peaceful, sustainable and genuine democracy? Must we irresponsibly follow the orders of corrupt politicians appointed by the machinery of inhuman, dictatorial, transnational corporations? Or shall we responsibly seize control of our own lives and our own communities? Who, if anyone, shall we recognize as a legitimate President of the most powerful state on Earth? If only 10% of the American people voted for do-nothing Al Bore, and another 10% voted for draft-dodging King George Jr., whom does the vast majority of Americans choose to be their primary representative and leader? Why do we allow a gang of corrupt, spineless, power-addicted, white-collar criminals – on the dole of corporate bribes – sit in the seats of “our” Congress and “our” courts? If the corporate-recognized “US Cabinet” is as obviously illegitimate as it is, who is the genuine American citizens’ Administration? Since nobody else seems to have the guts to step up to bat, I’ve reluctantly done so and unilaterally appointed the following transpartisan, highly qualified US Cabinet of the Citizens Executive Administration of the United States of America: CEA-USA  President of Vice – Woodrow Harrelson – vice-president.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Agriculture – Jeremy Rifkin – agriculture.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Commerce – David Korten – commerce.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Defense – Jesse Ventura – defense.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Education – Arianna Huffington – education.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Energy – Paul Wellstone – energy.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Health & Human Services – Susan Sarandon – health.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Housing & Urban Development – Hazel Henderson – housing.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Interior – Winona LaDuke – interior.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Labor – William Foote Whyte – labor.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of State – Noam Chomsky – state.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of the Treasury – Paul Glover – treasury.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Transportation – Hunter Lovins – transporation.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretary of Veterans Affairs – John McCain – veterans.cea.gov@usa.net  Ambassador to the United Nations – Jesse Jackson – united-nations.cea.gov@usa.net  Attorney General – Ralph Nader – justice.cea.gov@usa.net  Director of Central Intelligence – Quentin Terrantino – cia.cea.gov@usa.net  Director of Decentralized Intelligence – Ramsey Clark – dia.cea.gov@usa.net  Environmental Protection Agency – Berry Commoner – environment.cea.gov@usa.net  Federal Communications Commission – Jim Hightower – communications.cea.gov@usa.net  Federal Election Commission – Ron Daniels – elections.cea.gov@usa.net  Food & Drug Administration – Paul Newman – food-drugs.cea.gov@usa.net  National Security Advisors – Amory Lovins & Gary Sick – security.cea.gov@usa.net  Press Secretaries – William F. Buckley Jr. & Gore Vidal – press.cea.gov@usa.net  Secretaries of Disinformation – George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton & Dick Cheney – disinformation.cea.gov@usa.net The Secretaries of Disinformation - all accredited criminals - have been issued corporate orders to escalate the illegal war against the citizens of the United States and the people of the Third World. Review the Geneva Conventions, UN Charter, US Constitution, Nuremberg Principles, common sense and natural law if confirmation is required. The corporate orders, like the recent US “elections” are a test to see how misinformed and brainwashed the American public and our US military have become: Will the US provoke angry and abused individuals, groups or nations into detonating miniature nuclear bombs or releasing invisible bioweapons at military and civilian targets? Or shall we follow common sense, desist from making enemies around the world, and do something more productive with ourselves? Such is the great test the Secretaries of Disinformation have put to you. Will you self-destruct - like the passive victims of the Gulf War Syndrome - or will you survive and prosper - like the productive citizens of Sweden or Switzerland? Representing the 80% of American people who did not vote for either of the corporate-appointed candidates - as the somewhat more legitimate President of the United States - I hereby order all US military personnel, overt and covert, to remove yourselves from foreign territories and resume your duties as defenders of the United States right here in the United States. THE REAL DEAL Once retrieved from your hazardous and counter-productive predicaments in foreign lands, you shall be assigned - or self-assigned - to productive, genuine American defense duties:  Build affordable housing with Habitat for Humanity and numerous other housing organizations.  Build a nationwide high-speed rail system with Amtrak and numerous associated subcontractors.  Restore the biodynamic agricultural capacity of American soil with the Department of Agriculture, the Bioneers and other public or private enterprises.  Build wind turbines, photovoltaics and other renewable energy technologies with the Department of Energy and numerous private enterprises such as ASE Americas, AstroPower, Bergey WindPower, BP Solar, Kyocera Solar, Evergreen, NEG Micon, Photowatt, Siemens Solar, Solar Energy International, Southwest Windpower, Unisolar, Zond Power Systems - and even Honeywell, Lockheed-Martin and other weapons manufacturers should they redirect more of their resources from pro-death to pro-life technologies.  Convert automobiles, trucks, aircraft and related infrastructure from fossil-fueled systems to solar-electric and solar-hydrogen systems with the Department of Transportation and numerous private enterprises.  Train Americans in civil defense strategies and tactics.  Broadcast informative programs on community-access television - and on corporate-controlled television if you’re able to seize it from private monopoly bankers.  Assist municipal governments in issuing US Notes – genuine, public, legal-tender US dollars backed and issued by ecological reality rather than the Federal Reserve Corporation’s fractional-reserve, private, debt-backed, pyramid banking scheme.  Create industrial cooperatives, and challenge the rule of corporate monopolists.  Relax with friends and family during your generous paid vacation time. Why suffer the collapse of the old bubble economy when you can participate in building the new productive economy? Troops! Turn off that corporate-controlled TV. Surf the web for independent, worldwide news. Tune into reality and common sense. Question the commands of your “leaders” if they’re still brainwashed by anti-life, anti-American corporate monopolists. Troops! Get your asses back home. We need you here to defend us from the hostile onslaught of transnational, Stalinist, monopolistic corporations. Got guts? Then get your butts in gear, guys and gals. It’s show time, folks!

Although your votes may not have registered in any of the proprietary, corporate-owned, computerized vote-counting machines known by the Federal Election Commission http://www.fec.gov/votregis/vendorslist.htm , I feel your votes in the air and in the soil as I tour this great nation of ours. Tallying your honored votes in the imaginative quarters of my mind, it’s clear to all endowed with (un)common sense that the mandate of our government belongs to the forces of natural law and all those who respect our struggling communities, our great country and our fabulous planet. Apparently we need more education in the obvious than we do examination of the obscure. OUR government is the citizens’ government. THEIR government is the corporate government. Corporations are machines, not citizens. Our government consists of men and women ruled by our conscience. Their government consists of men and women ruled by machines. This has been obvious - but often forgotten - since the First World War. The great monopoly capitalist Joseph Stalin stated, “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” But I know that only those who follow their conscience decide anything. Those who follow orders decide nothing. And when our conscious is in alignment with the natural laws that make themselves more obvious every day, our actions are as powerful as the winds and floods that humble the arrogant ways of bloated civilizations. From those of you who’ve voted your conscious (or unconscious), I accept your nomination with humility, honor and trepidation as I look forward to the bizarre task of fulfilling America’s paradoxical destiny as great destroyer and great creator of freedom, justice and natural harmony for all humankind http://www.bfi.org . Mindful that respect for minorities is essential to a balanced and fruitful democracy, in honor of the 20% of you who voted for the corporate status quo, I understand your fears of change, and promise to do my best in making the transition from America’s tedious corruption to natural decency as painless as possible. Since I know of no “US government” court or congress that does not bend to the corporate politics of artificial money, I find myself accountable to no one but the laws of nature. I may have crowned myself “The Provisional Dictator of America” or “Napoleon W. Shrub II” or “Dick Hitler, Jr.” and appointed a gang of white-collar criminals to provide administrative (mis)guidance. Instead, I’ve taken the liberty of appointing the following persons (or the creative spirits thereof) as the new Cabinet of the Citizens’ Executive Administration of the United States: Secretary of Agriculture – Jeremy Rifkin Secretary of Commerce – David Korten Secretary of Defense – Jesse Ventura Secretary of Education – Arianna Huffington Secretary of Energy – Paul Wellstone Secretary of Health & Human Services – Susan Sarandon Secretary of Housing & Urban Development – Hazel Henderson Secretary of Interior – Winona LaDuke Secretary of Labor – William Foote Whyte Secretary of State – Noam Chomsky Secretary of the Treasury – Paul Glover Secretary of Transportation – Hunter Lovins Secretary of Veterans Affairs – John McCain Ambassador to the United Nations – Jesse Jackson Attorney General – Ralph Nader Director of Central Intelligence – Quentin Terrantino Director of Decentralized Intelligence – Ramsey Clark Environmental Protection Agency – Berry Commoner Federal Communications Commission – Jim Hightower Federal Election Commission – Ron Daniels Food & Drug Administration – Paul Newman Press Secretaries – William F. Buckley Jr. & Gore Vidal Secretaries of Disinformation – George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton & Dick Cheney Furthermore, as money governs us all, we may as well recognize that those who issue and control currency are the government http://www.transaction.net/money/national/index.html . In the name of functional democracy, as my first Executive Order, I hereby grant all municipal governments within the boundaries of these United States, to issue legal-tender US Notes http://www.futurenet.org/2Money/Yes2TOC.html . These genuine US dollars shall be quantitatively issued in respect to the natural resources of each municipality minus its average ecological footprint http://www.rprogress.org/resources/resources.html . As my second Executive Order, I hereby abolish all personal federal income tax and replace it with a national personal dividend, to be apportioned to each individual by their respective municipal government in accordance to such individual’s ecological footprint. As my third Executive Order, I shall resign as soon as my first two Executive Orders are fully executed so as to attend to my duties as a mother and common citizen. Thereafter, should the American people still find any need for a federal US government, they may reconstitute the next administration and congress by simple, direct, paper-ballot voting as done in Switzerland and numerous other real, peaceful, prosperous democracies http://www.thealliancefordemocracy.org . Once again, I thank the American people for granting me the opportunity to serve our great nation. Linda Jones President of the United States
