From the Trenches World Report

157,000 private sector jobs were added last month.  Glory halleluiah, prosperity has returned.  But then it is June, the one year anniversary of the end of the recession.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but 157,000 new jobs isn’t even half of the 350,000 we need just to keep pace with our young people entering the job market.  Now let’s stand back as real people living in the real world, and examine this incredible news.

For the month of June, an average of 420,000 per week filed new unemployment claims.  That is 1,680,000.  Now let’s be grossly generous to the point of absurdity and say that a third of those who lost their jobs acquired new ones within four weeks.  That leaves 1,120,000 who did not, minus 157,000 new jobs the corporate elite are claiming they created (note: they did not say what country they created them in), and you have 963,000 new unemployed.

Well Obama has decided to go after the thieves, you know, those people who are stealing us blind, the unemployed.  What, you thought he was going after his corporate elite masters who have stolen $28 trillion from we the people?  Not a chance.  He can’t further falsify the unemployment numbers by going after the rich.  To do this he has to go after the unemployed.

It seems it has been discovered that a handful of people have been drawing unemployment while in jail, thus all unemployed are thieves and not one dollar of unemployment benefit monies will be spared in removing these thieves from the unemployment rolls.  The bottom line is the only way to bring the unemployment number down is to end unemployment benefit payments, as only those collecting benefits are counted.

Our situation is being called economic suicide.  This is a misnomer.  What we are seeing is economic murder for profit.   We 99ers represent the first victims but by no means the last.  At times we try here to explain events in the simplest of terms.  How many ways are there to display the theft of our enormous wealth by a handful?  Well here we go one more time.

Imagine a large deposit of gold is found on a property belonging to a family.  The news spreads of the find and eventually reaches the ears of the greedy elite.  Let’s call them Great Britain.  The Queen says, “Two hundred and fifty years ago, the property where the gold is located was a part of my international kingdom.  That gold should be mine and I want it.”

July 4^th, 1776, the Colonies declare their independence from the British Crown.  The fact is many Americans had already died by July 4^th, 1776 as the war between the colonists and the crown had been underway for over a year.  Many people think that the war began on July 4^th and that just isn’t so.

On March 5, 1770 the tension between the colonists and the crown was already coming to a head. Continue reading “99ers HR 589 Unemployment Extension Supporters, Happy Independence Day?”

Two hundred and thirty-six years ago today, George Washington was commissioned by Congress as the Commanding General of the Continental Army, which had already been engaged in hostilities since April 19^th of that year.  I guess this is where Congress gets the idea that they are the ones with the authority to levy war.

They did so quite efficiently without a president, and what in reality is a president, but a glorified clerk necessitated by the fact that 320 million of us can’t fit in the same room to sign a document.  Thus he is our agent and acts only under our consent, because ultimately we are responsible for our decisions.

Well the filthy rich thieving corporations had their best week on Wall Street in two years as the U.S. economy continues to go down the tube.  And the mainstream propagandists are out there vehemently defending subsidies the corporations get for their private jets, saying that they need the ease of mobility and that the jets are a legitimate corporate write-off.

It just so happens that I have been reading a book written by one of the corporate elite about the corporate elite.  These jets are status symbols for the international rich who have allegiance to any country and call the world their own.   This “necessary” transportation comes complete with whirl pool baths and on duty chefs.

Another week another 428,000 out of work and the propagandists were belittling the situation from the moment the words came out of their mouths, saying, “The stock market’s rallying.  The Chicago PMI is up from 56.6 to 61.1.”  In talking about the stock market they are saying they don’t know why the market is going up in the face of such high jobless numbers, maybe it is because of Greece.  Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.  This is how it goes.

The more we lose, they more they get.  When a person loses their job and then their home, there is a real effect.  Let’s say that home was originally purchased at $80,000 and by the time the compound, compound interest was added, the mortgage came out to $160,000.  The person who lost their job and was foreclosed on had paid $80,000 before going into foreclosure.  That $80,000 represents real wealth as does the original property.
