"I say, 'No more!'" Emanuel Pastreich's formal declaration of candidacy for president of the United States as an independent

Several discouraged souls have asked us why we made this declaration in this manner. I replied,

“Robert Kennedy’s betrayal was the cruelest, but it was entirely predictable. At last citizens will start to awaken from the dream.

The other candidates are all guilty of state crimes and fed by hand by billionaires. Not a single one of them, not even Jill Stein and Cornel West, is telling the truth about the war on the American people and the citizens of the world. The Constitution gives me the right to run and moral authority gives me the right to present my argument to the American people.

We will not accept this bogus election and we must recognize that the privatized government no longer serves its function. Only by taking a stand can we possibly have a chance. If we stand by as passive spectators, we will be walled in ‘Gaza-style’ in our own homes, our actions and our economic rights will be destroyed slice by slice, our minds will be flattened out by targeted social media algorithms, and we will be reduced to slavery—or worse.

Really, there is no other choice. Anyone who tells you different is not being honest with you, and most likely, is not being honest with himself or herself.”

Formal Declaration of Candidacy as

Independent Candidate for President of the United States

Emanuel Pastreich

August 25, 2024

I stand before you with great humility, in the tradition of so many in history, both famous and nameless, who have been compelled by conscience, driven by moral duty, to rise above their own personal limitations, and to take on the overwhelming challenges that stand in our way, to go forward, not for personal gain or glory, but for the collective benefit of those who, whether crippled by vaccines, or impoverished by menial jobs, cannot do so themselves.

So do I declare my candidacy for president of the United States of America as an independent for the 2024 election, with no debt to billionaires and no secret contracts with corporate media or investment banks.

I will run in all seriousness for the interests of the American people, and the citizens of the world. I have no other purpose but to serve, to serve the people, not the oligarchs and the parasites.

The constitutional rights of our citizens have been trampled on by the boot of private finance and beaten to a pulp with the crude stick of corrupt politics. The resulting spiritual gangrene has spread through all institutions of the body politic, reaching all the way to the marrow of our civilization.

The slaughter of deliberative democracy and the evisceration of scientific investigation are the handywork of a new plutocracy, self-crowned as our masters, who are busy doling out treasure to the intellectuals, scientists, and journalists who do their bidding.

I call on Americans to revive the tradition of progressive politics in the United States, to realize the full potential of our Constitution, and to pass on the torch of liberty and equality previously held up by Thomas Paine, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Eugene Debs, Henry Wallace, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King.

I imagine, no I demand, a campaign that will call out the big lies, that will fight for justice and transparency without exception, and give real opportunities to those who have been so long oppressed. We will form a movement that will win because we stand up for moral principles, not bend down to collect dark money.

We will not accept this bogus election in November that is being put on for entertainment by investment banks, political consulting firms, and private intelligence from around the world.

We demand a legitimate election that is transparent and fair, and in which citizens will have access to accurate information.

We say that no man, no woman, is above the law.

I say, no more!

Like John Brown in 1859, I say slavery is not a peculiar institution but a war of the landlord class against the citizens of our nation, then and now.

I say, no more!

Like the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April 19 to May 16 of 1943, I declare that even if it need be but a handful of brave souls, we hold that fascist government and extermination policies will be resisted at any cost, then and now.

We were shocked, rendered passive and docile, by the trauma of lockdowns, stupid masks, social distancing, and deadly vaccines. That trauma was reinforced by social media, action films, games, pornography, and other stimulation designed to dumb us down. There was a purpose to all that. It was to assure that no group would emerge which was capable of offering real alternatives, or real opposition.

What choices do we have in this election? What paltry offerings have been laid at our feet?

Here we stand, on August 25, 2024, facing the overwhelming wall of unassailable authority that was piled up at the billionaire-backed Republican and Democratic conventions, orgies for corrupted souls, that were intended to show you, the citizen, that no opposition will be brooked.

August 25, after all, was the date that Germany gave the formal order for the mobilization leading to the invasion of Poland in 1939 that would set off the most horrific war in history. We face today, whether in Ukraine or Lebanon, precisely such a moment.

This political campaign is a fraud, nothing more and nothing less. And just like COVID, just like 9/11 everyone knows that it is a fraud.

Kamala Harris was crowned the queen of the Democratic Party, a criminal syndicate run by private intelligence and private equity in Washington, Tel Aviv, and London for the benefit of entertainment and news networks, IT firms, parasitic government contractors, and a scattering of progressive-minded delusional billionaires.

I hope she enjoys wearing her plastic crown.

The Democratic Party’s job is to suppress the American people, to be the velvet glove for the steel fist of corporate power, and to serve as the graveyard for people’s movements.  

So also, Donald Trump was crowned king of the Republican Party, another criminal syndicate infested with the cat’s paws of billionaires, but containing more military contractors, oil and coal conglomerates, real estate tycoons, big Ag players, and hedge fund managers.

I hope Donald enjoys his plated crown.

Sure, both of these sad candidates manage to mix in a bit of truth so as to make their lies more palatable, but when it comes to endless war, secret governance, the surveillance of citizens after the criminal 9/11 incident, the destruction of our local economies, and the murder of millions using killer vaccines in the COVID 19 operation run through DARPA, pharmaceutical corporations, Mossad, and shady military/intelligence entities in Germany, Australia, China, South Korea, and elsewhere, they fall silent.

Do not even ask them about the thirty trillion dollars cranked out under quantitative easing, COVID relief, puffed up defense budgets, and other market stimulation frauds that was handed over to investment banks—leaving citizens with inflation so horrific that the newspapers are afraid to talk about it. 

And there, in the midst of all the untruths, we had Robert Kennedy Jr. emerge as an alternative. Maybe, we thought, he would be an oasis in this desert, the one who would march the other way as the lemmings rushed for the cliff.

Sadly, Robert Kennedy could not do what he promised to do. He could not be a truth teller, he could not be a leader, and he could take a stand.

Tragically he has backed Donald Trump, a sad man who has himself degenerated from a rebel to a work mule for global finance, and now they are both preparing to enter a hall of mirrors set up by the billionaires, to pump out a “Make America Great Again” campaign to deceive us as the nation is torn apart and sold off for scrap.

Kennedy and Trump have kissed the ring of Elon Musk, the transhumanist who would destroy humanity using AI to degrade our brains; a certified psychopath who was a central player in the COVID 19 operation. Kennedy and Trump are eating from Musk’s hand.

This must end!

I had respect for the work that Mr. Kennedy did at River Keepers defending the environment, and at Children’s Health Defense fighting against the deadly vaccines. But his campaign has become a complete betrayal of the stands that he took previously.

The same can be said about his unconditional support for Israel that makes it clear just how much dirt those powerful forces have on him. I will say no more out of respect.

Cornell West and Jill Stein are candidates who are at least able to talk about the slaughter in Gaza and the domination of multinational corporations, but they are silent as the tomb about Israel as a hub for the fusion of private equity, private intelligence, and global IT that has driven the COVID 19 operation.

I am for peace, for international cooperation to address the true threats to humanity: the collapse of biodiversity, the destruction of the climate, the pollution of our oceans and rivers, the use of technology to destroy the mind, the use of vaccines to destroy the body, and the use of GMO weapons to destroy the plants and animals we have depended on for millions of years.

But today, I come not in peace, but with a sword. A sword to cleave falsehood from truth, ritual from policy, fantasy from reality, and to do so in order that the republic of the people, by the people and for the people can be unshackled from the shadow empire of fake money, fake information, fake medicine, and fake food.

Verily, fellow citizens, the truth shall set you free.  

9/11 and COVID 19 were but the first steps in a world war, a softening-up operation. To say they were anything else is to miss the point, to misinform the public. The assets of the pharmaceutical firms, the banks, the trusts, and the billionaires who planned and financed the COVID 19 operation, and the deadly “vaccines,” will be seized to compensate those who have suffered.

We reject this fake election and we demand a transparent and legitimate election. And that will require a special election and we will propose such a special election for the United States in the weeks ahead.

To try and raise money from the devious rich in order to get on the ballot is the worst thing that a candidate could possibly do at this moment. A candidate, any honest citizen, first must demand the truth.

We will end the drive for war and the creation of a wartime economy and war time authority by trickery, through a series of global secret treaties, intelligence sharing agreements, unaccountable military exercises, and the outsourcing of command and control to multinational IT companies like Oracle, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google—all of which have a bloody foot planted in Israel.

We will shut down these unaccountable IT- financial institutions who loyally serve a handful of multi-billionaire families.

There is only one way forward: A movement, in the US, and around the world, for internationalism, not globalism, demanding economies, societies, and institutions focused on the citizen, that respect nature, and that are powered by moral principles, not narcissism or a poisonous consumption culture.

Join us today, in our national and international movement, “Fear no Evil,” a movement for truth, for action, and for honest governance.

“Fear No Evil” will seek scientific truth and demand the spiritual bravery required to transform our country, and to move beyond the corrupt corporate parties, and to do so without falling into the insidious traps of identify politics, racial ideology, or Starbucks “think left; live right” hypocrisy.

We don’t need or want corporate donations or TV commercials in the corrupt media. We want committed citizens, especially young people, to join our team, to spread the word in every neighborhood, and to tell us how to run the movement, a movement that will not merely tweak a broken system, but that will transform literally everything.

Please join us, and help us to reimagine our country’s potential. We go forward with bravery and optimism, not to “make America great again” but rather to “make America great for the first time.”

Or, as Langston Hughes put it,

“Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death

The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,

We, the people, must redeem

The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.

The mountains and the endless plain—

All, all the stretch of these great green states

And make America again”

I may be elected president. I may end my days in extreme poverty—which is nothing to be ashamed of. I may end up locked up in a prison, or in a mental hospital, on trumped-up charges, or I may be found floating in some river. That part of this struggle is totally, totally, unimportant for you.

What I promise you is that Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the families of Windsor, Saud, Walton, Koch, Rockefeller, and DuPont, and the rest of that crew of techno-tyrants and bio-fascists in Washington and Berlin, in Tokyo and Moscow, in London and Beijing, are going down.

They will be punished and their true crimes made known to the world.

We don’t care how many politicians they own, how many billions they claim to possess, or how many celebrities and authorities they keep as pets.

We must struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, and war profiteering.

They consider the government of the United States as a mere appendage of their own affairs. We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.
