Interim Policy Platform
NOTE: The following is a summary of Kesha's 2012 policy platform. Even as we continue to work on the new 2012 website, we want people to be able to get a sense of what Kesha is fighting for. What you see below will soon be expanded into a new set of pages, each of which will include an overview, background research material, and ongoing activity around the nation by the national slate to bring that policy into practice. Thank you for your patience as we update this page. –Webmaster
Impeach Barack Obama from the Presidency, or Invoke the 25th Amendment, Sec. 4
Mr. Obama is a puppet of the bankrupt financial system, and has pushed policies made notorious by the Adolph Hitler regime, and since condemned by the entire world. His flagrant violations of the U.S. Constitution, national and international law, in addition to posing a clear and present danger of new violations, including thermonuclear war and the violent suppression of peaceful domestic opposition, warrant his immediate removal from the office of the Presidency by impeachment. Simultaneously, the public record of Mr. Obama's mental state shows that he is incapable of faithfully performing his duties as President, and as such meets the conditions for removal by Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Just because there isn't a qualified Presidential candidate for 2012 doesn't mean we shouldn't immediately remove Obama from office now, for his crimes. Just because former Vice-President Cheney and President Bush should also have been impeached, but were not, doesn't mean we shouldn't immediately remove Obama from office now, for his crimes.

Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, via H.R. 1489
Since 2008, the trans-Atlantic financial system has gone bankrupt, and the resulting crash has only been temporarily postponed by taxpayer bailouts of the toxic financial paper. As forecast by economist Lyndon LaRouche in 2007, and then reported by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, this entire meltdown was foreseeable, and preventable. The repeal of specific banking regulations, such as the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, made possible the merging of all kinds of banking assets into single institutions. The reinstatement of Glass-Steagall, now in the House of Representatives as H.R. 1489, is a mandatory first step in a legal reorganization of our bankrupt financial system.
Glass-Steagall will end the bailout of "too big to fail" by separating investment banking, insurance, and commercial banking into wholly separate institutions. The estimated several hundred trillion dollars in commercial assets (e.g. mortgages, pensions, city and state budgets, personal deposits, and normal business accounts), will be protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The estimated quadrillions of dollars in investment assets (e.g. derivatives, currency swaps, carbon futures, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and all other speculative activity) will NOT be protected, and will be allowed to fail without assistance. Since these assets are currently merged in most major banking companies, it will be necessary to sort through the books, according to normal Chapter 11 bankruptcy court proceedings, in order to protect what is left of the United States banking system.
Contrary to some rumors, reinstating Glass-Steagall will not bankrupt the banks. It will allow those banks that exist because of purely speculative looting to go bankrupt. All legitimate commercial banks will be protected. Were Glass-Steagall not reenacted, these commercial banks would disappear in bankruptcy like all the rest.

American Credit System
Since 1968, the physical productive output (i.e. commercial banking activity) of the United States has been in an overall accelerating decline. We have allowed the basic agro-industrial platform that supports our population to be outsourced, replacing it with free trade "globalization", speculative bubbles, and a preference for inefficiency and zero-technological growth. Once we eliminate the casino economy of Wall Street, we will find we cannot rely upon trading their worthless financial paper back and forth to create the façade of value in the United States dollar. To increase the purchasing power of the dollar, we must return to our Constitution, a Federal credit system, as outlined by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. With this standard, money issued is backed by the physical value of the production it is issued to achieve. Rather than a "gold standard", which could never work in a country advancing scientifically, currency has value because it is exchangeable for domestically produced commercial goods, such as food, electricity, clean water, finished goods, etc., in connection with large scale development projects, such as the World Landbridge, NAWAPA, and the manned space program. Specific actions to be taken include:
a) Transform the Federal Reserve into a National Bank
To insure the proper distribution of public money into productive commercial business, the U.S. Congress will reassume its duty as the sole authority to issue credit. The Federal Reserve must be nationalized, and its lending held accountable to the U.S. Constitution, especially the Preamble. A regulated, national banking system, modeled on Lincoln's 1864 National Banking Act, will replace the current fiat system.
b) Use Article I, Sec. 8 of the Constitution to Issue Regulated Credit
Congress will create credit, backed by the physically productive work such credit is monetized for accomplishing, and the U.S. Treasury will issue the credit through the national banking system into productive public and private businesses. Such credit will be regulated on a two tier interest rate, where credit for physically productive work shall be fixed at 1-2% per annum, while credit for speculative activity shall be much higher, to make it unprofitable. This credit shall be generated as a long term capital budget, separate from the yearly fiscal budget generated by tax revenue. We could never generate enough tax revenue to fund the needed relief efforts.
c) Emergency Relief for the States, Industrial Mobilization for the Nation
With appropriate financial regulations in place, Congress must rapidly respond to the failure of our state budgets, and the massive unemployment crisis. Emergency relief loans shall be made, to relieve the state budget crises, and a national mobilization shall be initiated, to reemploy the population in real productive work so those loans can be repaid.
North American Water and Power Alliance
The most comprehensive blueprint for launching a real physical economic recovery exist in the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA). The implementation of NAWAPA means making the bold decision to solve the long term needs of mankind for the next 50 years in the management of water and other presently known and new resources. It means a civilization taking its destiny into its own hands, by managing continental and global characteristics instead of local ones. Due to its specific topographical shape, and ocean air currents, a quarter of all the rain or snow that hits the ground in North America each year falls in a narrow corridor of the continent, with 800 MAFY (million acre-feet per year) running directly into the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, unused by the biosphere on land, and wasted. Meanwhile, a large swath of the western half of continent remains dry, and barren.
NAWAPA will remedy this presently inefficient distribution of precipitation: utilizing 20% of this runoff, 160 MAFY, strategically placed dams and tunnels will create a collection system of major new reservoirs and canals, taking advantage of the natural topography of the Rocky Mountains, and effecting a distribution of water to parched lands and strategic water ways. Had NAWAPA been built in the 1960s when first proposed, the drought that hit Texas this past year would have been manageable, or even negligent in its effects.
This project will necessitate the laying of several thousand miles of new railroad lines, drilling of 50 tunnels through the Rocky Mountains, building the biggest dams in the world, as well as 240 reservoirs, and 2,600 MW of nuclear power in the transfer of water across the mountains. To accomplish this work, upwards of 10 million productive jobs will be created.
Creating a permanent presence of civilization in the northern regions will transform our current scientific perspective of the arctic from isolated research stations in remote and dangerous conditions into an active scientific capability. With the Arctic's unique proximity to the singular electromagnetic conditions of the Polar Regions, the complex of electromagnetic relationships, which define the Earth-Sun-Solar System magnetic interactions and have determined the evolutionary processes of the biosphere, will finally be integrated into the power of man's understanding and economy.

Strategic Defense of Earth
As a result of the space age, the scientific community has made enormous progress in our understanding of the interaction of space weather and the biosphere, from the standpoint of both geologic time, and moment to moment. We now know that civilization is dangerously exposed to numerous forecastable threats of mass extinction, which human civilization must account for in order to survive for the long haul. Such a science driver as a Strategic Defense of Earth from such crises, would require international collaboration among all the world's scientists, and create millions of jobs in building the requisite technology, to solve the following known threats:
a) Cycles of Mass Extinction
Approximately every 62 million years, ±3 million, a mass extinction occurs, where 50-90% of the genera on Earth are wiped out, and a new, more advanced biosphere emerges. The last known mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago, and killed off the dinosaurs. These occur as our solar system bobs through the Milky Way, and moves toward the "north" side. Ice Ages and Greenhouse Ages in our climate are also affected by perturbations in the Earth's orbit, and the solar system's motion through the arms of the galaxy, where there is a higher density of radiation from other stars and supernovae. We need to develop more accurate forecasting of such long term changes.
b) Impacts by Celestial Objects
Impacts by large asteroids and comets do occur. It is not a matter of "if" but "when". When asteroids pass near Earth, their trajectory is bent by Earth's gravitational and magnetic fields. To prevent orbital changes that redirect the asteroid onto a collision course, scientists have proposed using satellites to act as "gravity tugboats", which would allow us to choose how that orbit changes. These objects could also be mined for their iron, nickel, and other metals, and we should develop the ability to do so. Turning such a crisis into an economic opportunity requires more advanced satellites, to monitor these dim celestial objects with enough warning to act; microgravity mining techniques; and the ability to speedily mobilize our "tugboat" rockets.
c) Space Weather 1
The Earth is immersed in the space weather of our Sun, and the solar system is immersed in the space weather of our galaxy. Space weather scientists know this interplanetary medium is not "empty" but full of radiation, magnetic structures, and plasma. This material has known effects on storm formation, cloud formation, rainfall patterns, and the global electric circuit, all of which is connected with extreme weather such as volcanoes and earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought and flooding, and geomagnetic storms. We need an advanced galactic monitoring system of satellites to forecast such extreme weather, including reversals of the Earth's magnetic field, as well as the logistical ability to move people to safety as needed.
d) Space Weather 2
Specific storms on the Sun, such as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) pose a particularly pressing threat. Were a powerful CME to hit Earth directly, it would completely fry our electric grid, effectively destroying it, for perhaps months or years. That in of itself would be devastating to our population. We need to modernize our electric grid to minimize possible damages, and develop adequate forecasting capabilities.
e) Build the SDI
The original Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) designed by Lyndon LaRouche and proffered by President Reagan is still a worthwhile program. The SDI would use multiple layers of space-based defensive laser beam weapons to neutralize the threat of thermonuclear warfare, thereby rendering such terror weapons obsolete in practice.

Trans-Pacific Alliance
Rather than continue orienting toward the hopelessly bankrupt trans-Atlantic economies, the United States should orient across the Pacific, and embrace the scientifically progressive intention currently being expressed by Russia, China, and other Asian countries. Were the United States to form a scientific alliance with these countries, instead of threatening them with war, a rich potential would be created for solving many of the galactic and geopolitical crises listed above. We must lay the groundwork now, for real economic collaboration, by building such projects as the World Land Bridge, an overland network of high speed, magnetically levitated rail corridors. Cooperation on manned space exploration, as in the development of the Moon, and the development of fusion rockets with the capability of 1G acceleration, to send humans to Mars.

Stewardship,
Not Environmentalism
The biggest threat to our environment, other than the threats of thermonuclear war and mass extinction, is free trade globalization. Insuring a responsible approach toward resource development and use means monetary profit cannot come before the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Obedience to the ancient law governing mankind's activity, to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it," requires a policy among nations of stewardship.
With that said, what passes today as "environmentalism" is a thinly veiled agenda of depopulation, being pushed by the same financier oligarchy, and British royal family. The explicitly stated goals of such poster children as Prince Phillip, Sir David Attenborough, and Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, is to quickly reduce the population from seven billion living people, to less than one billion, within about a generation, and to transform the United Nations into a world dictatorship, to force this policy of genocide on nations committed to scientific and technological progress.
There is no consensus among the scientific community, and even if there were, consensus is not proof. But there is reasonable doubt to the argument that CO2 is a driver of global surface temperatures, when the solar and galactic radiation is taken into consideration, which the IPCC and its reports do not do.
Solar panels, windmills, and other passive forms of electricity are a net loss in energy production. While petrochemicals are needed in the formation of plastics and other materials, they are inefficient as a fuel source. We should instead shift to a reliance on local production of nuclear fission and fusion, with a view toward developing controlled matter-antimatter reactions.
A legitimate approach to managing the biosphere exists in such terraforming projects as NAWAPA, and its sister projects on other continents. What we learn from NAWAPA will allow us to eventually green the deserts of not only Earth, but also Mars, and beyond.
