Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

—- Isaiah 5:20

       When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. … you may know that your society is doomed.

—- Francisco d’Anconia, Atlas Shrugged

       The New Deal I (1933 – 1935) continues: De facto Commander-in-Chief Franklin Roosevelt, Esq., issues Executive Order 6340, creating the Commodity Credit Corporation, to be charted in the state of Delaware, with an initial capitalization of 3,000,000 Dollars.  The purpose of the CCC is to stabilize farm prices.  This is fascism–private ownership with central planning.

       NOTE: As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Roosevelt was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
