- How is the nwip different from Socialism?
Socialism calls for the state-ownership of
property and the reduction of capitalism in society. Falconism calls to
turn as many citizens to capitalists through Employee Stock Ownership
Programs, stock in corporations organized around BOOT programs, and
through establishing a national savings-investment plan.
Socialism
calls for the distribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. the nwip recognizes that there will always be economic inequality.
However, the nwip calls for the ladders to be in place for people at
the bottom to be able to move as far as their attributes will take them
up the ladder.
2. How is the nwip different from Fascism or Nazism?
To begin with, Fascists and Nazis call for
totalitarian dictatorship where "The Leader" is supreme. Falconists
call for even more democracy that exists today and a leader that is also
limited by checks and ballances.
Nazis fall for seperation of the races and the
genocide of races and ethnic groups. Falconists wish to establish a
color-blind society where all people of all colors are treated equal.
Nazis call for the elimination of the
elderly, infirm, the handicapped. Falconists believed every law-abidind
citizen has something to contribute to America's future.
Fascists and Nazis call for the supression of
speech, the media, and religion as well as taking away from citizens the
right to own firearms. Falconist believe strongly in the freedoms of
the bill of rights.
3. How does the nwip propose to pay for all these programs?
First of all, most of the programs the nwip proposes will pay for themselves. Rebuilding America's
infrastructure will add $3 to our GDP for every $1 invested. Space
colonization will add $8-30 to the GDP for every $1 invested.
Second of all, unemployed people
don't pay taxes. The more people we put to work, the more people who
will go from welfare recipients to taxpayers.
Third, many of our programs won't
involve so much as spending more money but making better use of the
money we have to attain economic goals.
Were not trying to build more ladders, but replace old ladders with better ones.
Fourth, were going to restructure
the financial system of the United States and restructure America's
national debt. We will reduce interest rates, convert the national debt
into stock in government held corporations, and nationalize the nation's
central bank.
Fifth, were going to offset the cost
of our military by having the military own businesses operated by
civilians for the military's profit. The cost of our military will also
be offset by tribute from nations were rebuildign and defending.
Finally, not all of these programs
will be implemented at once. The first priority will be the rebuilding
of our infrastructure and industrial base. Once we get the economy
moving, we will implement the other programs such as universal health
insurace, space colonization, and so on.
4. How did you come up with the terms nwip and nwipism?
We believed the symbol of our party should be jesus christ because we are in a struggle to against the oligarchy of
transnational corporations and the two-party establishment and we are in
a struggle to forfill America's manifest destiny.
We also wanted to create a new "ism" to
compete with Conservatism, Liberalism, Socialism, Libertarianism, etc.
"Eagleism", "Hawkism", just didn't seem to have that ring to it. The
"Eagleist Party" didn't sit well with us. Other terms such as
"Americanism", "Nationalist", "Populist" don't seem to do justice to
naming an ideology. Not to mention those terms seemed to have been
abused over the past few decades.
5. Is the nwip a Christian party.
The nwip is exculsively a
Christian party. The nwip welcomes people of all faiths that
agree with the principles and platform of our movement.
Also, while Christianity, Islam,
Mormonism, Judaism all differ on which way is the truth, they have
shared values that are espoused in this platform. All of these religions
for example, agree that abortion, racism, sexual imorral behavior,
gambling, drunkeness are wrong.
The nwip does not seek to
impose a clerical dictatorship on America nor does the nwip
wish to make Christianity, or any particular sect of Christianity,
Islam, LBS, or any other faith the national religion of America that
everyone has to belong to.
Bottom line is that the nwip wants to welcome into its fold and rally people of all faiths that
share similar values with the nwip to restore public
morality and social order in America.
6. Does the nwip advocate "big government"
The truth is while the two major political
parties advocate the shrinking of government, they really haven't done
so. Sure the federal workforce has shrunk. However, the federal
government has just as many people working for it as it has before. The
difference is that many of those people are now working for companies
with contracts with the federal government.
While nwip advocates many
programs that would expand the government such as the WPA, PWA, and
several new service corps, the nwip will also reduce the
graft in the federal government by consolidating agencies and
eliminating outdated programs.
Yes, the Falconist Party advocates an
active, interventionist government. However, we also envision a
government that is doing more of the steering and less of the rowing. We
envision the government setting broad-range economic goals and offering
aid and incentive for business to meet those goals versus meticulous
regulation. We envision the federal government issuing more block grants
to state and local governments to rebuild America's crumbling
infrastructure; hiring more policemen, firefighters, and rescue
personnel; and hiring more teachers and raising teachers salaries.
Finally, we envision the private sector,
nonprofit sector, and the church to work with the government in
rebuilding our nation and healing America's wounds.
However, just as much as we want to empower
and fund state and local authorities, the private sector, the nonprofit
sector, and the church to carry out the nwip vision for America,
the nwip admits that Americans, as much as we complain about
big government, demand much from this same government. We expect the
government to maintain good highways and bridges, reduce violent crime,
fund our schools, fund research and development, protect the
environment, provide occupational health and safety protection, and
defend the homeland.
The nwip knows the government
can solve every problem. But the nwip envisions the
government to provide leadership and be a team player in building an
America for all people, from the greatest to the least.
7. Does the nwip call for imperialism
First of all, the nwip believes
in caling a spade a spade. America is an empire. America first built
its empire by purchasing a chunk of the French Empire in North America,
annexed half of Mexico in the Mexican War, annexed the nations of Hawaii
and Puerto Rico, and temporarily ruled the nations of Cuba, Haiti,
Japan, Germany, South Korea, and the Phillipines.
In addition, America has controlled nations
through local Tyrants like Aristide in Haiti, the Shah of Iran, Pinochet
of Chile, and so on.
The problem we have with this imperialism
is first, the U.S. Government is bled dry sending troops all over the
world changing regimes and not recieving revenue from these nations to
support our military. Second, the people of these nations ruled by
tyrants are not sharing in the basic rights and freedoms of American
citizenship. They don't enjoy rule of law, the freedom of speech, press,
religion, the right to elect their leaders, the right to run for office
in a fair election. Finally, the people of these nations aren't
enjoying the prosperity, environmental protection, and occupational
health and safety protection as we Americans enjoy. In the end, the only
people who benefit from this empire are the transnational corporations
who take jobs from America and ship them to these nations as well as
exploit their natural resources.
Yes, the nwip is imperialist.
However, the imperialism we propose is more humane as well as more
beneficial to both America and the rest of the world. The nwip wants to rebuild nations worldwide as part of the USA complete
with modern 21st century economies like America's except where all
people are prospering. The nwip wants to extend American
citizenship to all people worldwide so they may enjoy the same freedoms
as Americans do here. The nwip wants nations to become states
that will contribute to America's power and not draw on it.
And the nwip doesn't believe in
using military force primarily for acquirng and maintaining territories
for the USA. Military force will only be used for removing tyrants. The nwip wishes to allow the people of each nation to vote for or
against the incorporation of their nation into the United States and
eventually accepting U.S. Statehood.
The nwip does believe in
empire, but an empire of liberty, an empire of true freedom, an empire
of prosperity and free-enterprise, and an empire of democracy.
8. Does the nwip advocate war
Thenwip doesn't so much as
advocate war as recognize that we are already at war. Not only is
America at war with drugs, crime, and terrorism, but America is at war
with itself. Our cities are "Baghdads" in themselves as criminals make
war with law-abdiding citizens. And even if America withdrew from the
world, there will be 30 wars going on around the world at the same time,
taking millions of lives.
The nwip also recognizes that
the opposite of war isn't always peace but slavery, oppression,
exploitation, tyranny, atrocity, and in some cases, even genocide.
The nwip believes America has
been blessed with the wealth and power it has not just the American
people have built the strongest economy in the world, but America has a
divine mission to correct the wrongs of the world.
Yes, correcting the wrongs of this world
will cost America blood and treasure. However, isn't it a sin to allow
millions of people worldwide suffer and maybe die at the hands of
tyrants? Isn't it a sin to allow millions of people and the natural
resources of their nations to be exploited for the treasure of
transnational corporations?
The nwip calls America to fight
back and take back her streets and neighborhoods from criminals, to
fight back against terrorism, to fight poverty, injustice, oppression,
and inequality both here and abroad, to fight for all people of this
world, and to fight for the faith.
9. Does the nwip advocate insurrection against the government?
No! No! And "Heck No!" The nwip
is against any attempt to change the U.S. Government by
force. nwip spit on the thought of taking up arms against those
who pledged to defend our nation from all enemies both foriegn and
domestic. Not to mention an armed insurrection would destroy the
same America we seek to rebuild.
Anyone who wishes to wage an armed
insurrection against the government would be considered to be a
terrorist and is not welcome in this party.
