On September 17, 1787, the Constitution of the united States of the Americas was adopted by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The Constitution is the supreme law of this land.  Some states, during the ratification phase, refused to sign on until the Constitution was amended to contain a Bill of Rights.  The Bill of Rights originally consisted of twelve amendments.  Only ten of the amendments were made permanent to become what we know today to be our Bill of Rights.

The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.

So, some 230 years later, how is the First Amendment faring?  In the area of religion, we have seen the rise of the 501(c)3 church and in the past six years we have seen the formation of the clergy response teams.  The clergy response teams are individual clergymen chosen by our government specifically for the reason of administering religion to us in times of crisis.  They have been directed to convince their flocks to follow the direction of the government during crisis without question.  Those clergymen who have denounced the clergy response teams have been harassed by the government using their 501(c)3 tax exempt status as a tool of coercion. How about freedom of speech?  The Cyber Bullying Act would make it a jailable offense to use online speech to hurt another person’s feelings.  What about the press?  Well, you do not really have to suppress that which is controlled.  How about the right of the people to peaceably assemble?  It is now become the norm for groups protesting against government representatives or actions to be forced to hold protests inside of fenced areas as far as two miles away from any politician or event they wish to protest.

The Second Amendment states, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

It was the freeman militias from every county and state that were organized to create the Continental Army whose members fought and died to give us our freedoms and liberties.  Rather than being enshrined and honored, the freeman militia today is demonized by the government it created.  By law every adult male between the ages of 18 and 45 is automatically a member of the militia.  So by our government’s reckoning every person falling into that category is to be considered a right wing terrorist.  As to the absolute right to bear arms we have the 1938 Federal Firearms Act and the 1968 Gun Control Act.  These are two laws our fathers and grandfathers should never have allowed.  Now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has signed onto an international small arms ban treaty that is sitting over in the Senate waiting for a dark night when no one is looking in order that four or five Senators can form a quorum and make it law.  This will result in a war between the government (who will use NORTHCOM which has been watered down with foreign troops) and the militia.  I guess our founding fathers just were not serious about this one.

The Third Amendment states, “No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

As it has become common for American soldiers to assist law enforcement in basically every aspect, in violation of not only the Third Amendment but also the Posse Comitatus Act, I guess we can scratch the Third Amendment off the list.

The Fourth Amendment states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

This is nullified by the Patriot Act.

The Fifth Amendment states, “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

This is nullified by the Patriot Act.

The Sixth Amendment states, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to  have the assistance of counsel for his defense.”

This is nullified by the Patriot Act.

The Seventh Amendment states, “In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.”

This amendment is made null and void by the capture of our courts by the corporations.  Our courts no longer operate under a system of Common Law, as it has been replaced by Roman Civil Law, which is met out through a jurisdiction of admiralty, which, under our Constitution, was only supposed to affect international commerce and military personnel, as in a court martial.

The Eighth Amendment states, “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

I guess the matter of excessive bail would depend on the size of one’s bank account, though I know that in most instances the poor sit in jail awaiting trial.  As for cruel and unusual punishments, well I think enhanced interrogation (torture) would be considered by most of us to be just a tidbit cruel and unusual.

The Ninth Amendment states, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

The Commerce Clause is being used more and more to violate every right of the people.

The Tenth Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, or to the people.”

Again, the federal government is claiming total power over the states and the people citing the Commerce Clause.

People, considering the obvious dismantling of our Bill of Rights, we must face the reality of the dire straits we are facing.  President Obama promised to repeal the Patriot Act if he was elected.  He not only did not repeal it, but took measures to strengthen its power over us.  This one act should be enough for any American to identify him as the diabolical threat he is.  He stated when running for president, that he was well studied in our Constitution, therefore reason and logic dictates that he is deliberately, with malice and forethought, doing everything in his power to complete the destruction of our most sacred law.  If we as a people ever wish to be free again, we have no choice other than to stand up and, if necessary, sacrifice our lives to reinstate the Constitution as the supreme law of our land.

The next time one of you dimwitted democrats are standing in a crowd shouting, “Yes we can”, please take just a moment to ask the question, “Yes we can, what?”  The last time you shouted, “Yes we can” in unison with Obama, he was elected president.  In the two years that have passed since then, the majority of you have had to admit that he lied to you, and yet , here you are again, back in line yelling, “Yes we can” and preparing to vote away more of my rights.

I tell each and every one of you, Republicrats and Demopublicans alike, that one day soon you are going to have to answer up to your fellow citizens whom you have betrayed with your ignorance and stupidity.  God bless the Republic.

New jobless claims rose 13,000 this week to 462,000, the highest level recorded in months.  Home foreclosures have also risen to their highest level in months.  I knew things would get better when the recession ended.

All fifty states’ attorney generals are launching investigations in reference to allegations that the banksters have been carrying out illegal home repossessions as they do not have the original loan documents.  The reason they do not have the original loan documents is that in carrying out The Great Housing Pyramid Scheme, the mortgages were put into packages and sold all over the world and in short, they cannot be found.  The states are justly calling for a freeze on all foreclosures.

It is disturbing to see the mainstream propaganda machine, rather than zeroing in on the criminals who perpetrated this scheme, coming out in unison, left and right alike, purporting the assertion that the banksters who violated the law in packaging and selling the mortgages, should be accommodated in some way that would allow them to continue the illegal foreclosures. The only way they can continue the foreclosures short of finding and producing the paperwork is to allow them to continue breaking the law.   The media is trying to get us to believe that the further violations of the law must be allowed as the banksters’ repossessions of the properties has to occur, because if they do not it will cause further damage to our economy.  This is starting to become like a broken record.  Every time the mobsters want to commit another outrage upon us, we are told we must allow it in order to save our great economy.    I say, “Bull feces.”

The media is concentrating their combined efforts in a campaign to demonize the people that are being foreclosed upon who are demanding that the proper paperwork be brought forth before the foreclosures occurs.

Now I guess you could look at this a couple of ways.  Number one, the people being foreclosed upon get to stay in their houses without paying their mortgages.  This would seem very wrong unless you look at it from the other angle, which is the banks packaging of the loans and selling them to other banksters around the world in order to leverage the equity the real property represents.

When the loans were made the equity of the property had ten dollars of lending power for every dollar of true value.  Each time the loans were repackaged and resold the leveraging was compounded; ten becomes one hundred, becomes one thousand.  So more than the worth of the property in reference to the original loans was acquired by the banks through the leveraging, but a pyramid scheme being a pyramid scheme cannot go on forever.

So when the house of card crumbles, who’s left holding the bag?  Well the mainstream media thinks it should be the people who were paying their mortgages right up to the point that the house of cards crumbled, triggering a financial crisis that cost them their jobs, and thus making them unable to continue paying.

I prefer option two, which goes like this, as the banksters involved in the pyramid scheme amassed wealth in amounts that exceeded the value of the real property, in the name of the person that signed the mortgage, and as they were breaking the law in committing fraud, they should have to balance the books using the stolen money and the person who signed the mortgage should get to keep the house as a redress for the civil crime committed against him or her.

Any other course of action would allow the banks to get away with fraud and gain profit in the amounts they have stolen through the leveraging and on top of gaining the profits they would regain possession of the real property (the home); and as they have not only broken the law and gotten away with it, but have immensely profited in doing so, there would seem to be no deterrent for stopping them from doing it all over again.

And let’s not forget the insurance conglomerates like AIG that insure these fraudulent loans because that’s where the profit on these unlawful leveraging, actually comes from as they provide all of the monies that make up the deficiencies in real revenue at the top of the pyramid.  And that’s right; we foot the bill through bailouts and stimulus.

We the people, when it comes to an issue as minute as the seat belt law (a traffic infraction), are held to a standard of zero tolerance.  On the other hand there exists in our country a class of super citizens who can commit felonies without consequence.

In short, the people who have raped our country, destroyed our industrial base, and abused our people think they are corporate lords and that each little portion of our country they control is their private fiefdom.  As for the rest of us, we are either tenant serfs with limited rights if we are lucky enough to still hold property, or we are peasants without property or rights who they would like to be allowed to beat or imprison for daring to speak out against the abuses they are perpetrating against us.

How much more are we going to let them get away with?  I guess if they are hell bent on treating us like peasants we had better start acting like peasants and become hell bent on a peasant uprising.

It is said that the reason a Tier 5 unemployment extension cannot be passed is because it cannot be funded.  The unemployment rate is said to be set at 9.6%.  So where is the money being paid into the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund by the other 90.4% of the work force?  Answer:  In a portfolio, and that is the closest thing to a straight answer you are going to find anywhere.

If you research this subject you will find investments, returns, monies taken in, monies paid out, monies loaned, monies owed and burn rates.  Of course all of these categories are broken down by state and then by district making the understanding of the figures a task for an Olympic grade team of auditors.  However, there is one statistic that stands out and it indicates that the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund takes in at least $6 billion per year.

I have seen responses on the comment board indicating that there are a lot of people among the 99ers who have been paying in unemployment for thirty plus years and have only drawn 99 weeks.  So let’s try something simple.  Let’s be generous and just look at one year’s trust fund revenue drawing 3% interest.  In one year $6 billion gains $180 million in interest and over thirty years that $6 billion earns $5.4 billion in interest for a total of $11.4 billion. Remember, that’s at 3% and not figuring in compound interest as I am not willing to spend three or four days trying to figure out the compound interest with 6 billion being added to the fund per year, quarterly, by state, and by district.  I’m going to say that there would have to be $500 billion in that account after 30 years, even with a recession now and then.

So, after putting $500 billion into an account as a hedge for the workers to allow them to survive a recession, why are there no moneys to pay for a Tier 5 extension.  Well, without breaking it down 10,000 different ways, this is as close as I can come.  The 2002 Reed Act allows for excess funds from the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund to be redistributed back to the states’ unemployment accounts.  This wouldn’t be a bad idea, except that when the money came back to the states it was counted against what the employer had to pay in, thus reducing the amount the employers had to pay per worker.

In essence, what is happening is the employer is paying a set amount into the federal fund.  That money is being invested and when it yields a return, rather than those monies being set aside to insure employment, it is being sent back to the states and given to the rich businesses in the form of tax breaks.  This is what the breakdown in the numbers is designed to hide.

Now that there are millions of unemployed, not only is the money not there to pay unemployment insurance, but, as the rate the employer has to pay has been reduced by 30%, it can never catch up, as hundreds of thousands more become unemployed every month.  Once again, what was supposed to be our property is swindled and funneled into the vaults of the wealthy and now that they have it, they are using all the power that it wields to make sure we never get it back.

Note:  Under Bush’s cuts on capital gains and taxes in general for the top two percent, the rich paid minimal tax on these monies invested for them and returned to them, with a profit by the low life scum bags posing as our representatives.

We need a complete audit of the federal and state unemployment system to bring this Ponzi scheme to light and find out what happened to our unemployment money.

Apparently the all-holy business people who are looking to put on new employees want workers who are already working, as they are assumed to be the better worker.  No accounting for the cliques I suppose.  I don’t know how the cliques work in your area but this is how they work in mine.

The governors, mayors, congressmen, commissioners, and big business owners make up the upper echelons.  You can usually find these people in the Masonic temples planning their dirty deeds.  From there the cliques spread out into the churches and local community action boards.  That’s when the good old boy buddy system kicks in: construction companies, logging companies, towing companies, garages, hotels, and restaurants.   You will find these people in your local Masonic lodge.  If you are observant at all you will have noticed that these rings never really experience any economic disasters like we do.  They may have to fire an employee or two, but you will never see one of them in a soup line.

Road construction especially gets my goat as I have never seen it slow down.  However, it was the first industry addressed when our latest economic crisis kicked in.  There is a reason.  When the money comes to the state via a grant those in charge of distributing the funds are in a position to receive a long series of kickbacks and favors owed through the contracting of services.  I guess what it comes down to in the U.S. these days is, “it’s not what you know, but rather who you know”.

This coupled with the degenerative consequences of hereditary wealth is the poison that kills countries.  The problem with hereditary wealth is that a moron can be born from two geniuses just as sure as a genius can be born from two morons.  If you look at history it is wrought with the consequences of hereditary wealth and power.  Caligula married his horse and Nero fiddled as Rome burned.

When most of us were children in school we were told that anyone could grow up and be president, which was just another lie.   Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama can all trace their lines back to the crowned heads of Europe.  History has shown that civilizations, like trees, tend to die from the top down.  And let’s face it we have a lot of dead wood at the top in the good old U.S. of A.

It is a shame that it is always the innocent who have to suffer for the sins of the guilty but until human beings finally come to realize what a precious thing life is, it will continue this way.  The only bright point being that when civilizations crumble due to hereditary wealth and greed, unless life is completely destroyed, the human spirit endures and people build new civilizations and for a short while before hereditary wealth kicks in again the cream always rises and the regular folk get to enjoy their day in the sun.

This will be the last article I will write for World News Heard Now (labor dispute) but I will never quit fighting the insanity of the international corporate mafia.  I will attack them any and every time I see a weakness.  I say to all of you out there who have read my thoughts; I’ll see you in the streets.

We have all probably seen images from the Great Depression Era of soup lines, sometimes several blocks long.  Some people today have a problem coming to grips with the depression we are in as there are no images of those soup lines.  You have to remember we are living in the twenty-first century and the soup lines of today consist of a plastic card in your wallet or purse.

There are many people out there who like to advocate ending the food stamp program.  These are the same people who say the 99ers are lazy and should not get any further unemployment extensions.  The average food stamp recipient gets $133 per month, divided by thirty days equals $4.43, divided by 3 meals per day equals $1.48.  If you are not near a grocery outlet your average can of soup will cost around a dollar fifty.  Now imagine any citizen back in the Great Depression days begrudging the people in line that bowl of soup.  What have we as a people become?

I have seen the party line of the Republicans, which it would seem only a rich man could back being parroted by people making $20,000 per year.  Mark my words this day; the international corporate mafia is getting ready to hack another large chunk out of the middle class, and by this time next year the people talking down at the unemployed will have become the biggest hypocrites to ever breathe.

Oh yes, I’m going to be online using names like Tony and Big Daddy telling them to get a job and pound the pavement.  Or maybe I’ll be real sadistic and tell them that the best thing they can do is kill themselves as their situation is hopeless because nobody cares and who knows maybe a few of them will.  If things keep progressing the way they are I will probably be charged with a hate crime, have my computer confiscated, and be sent to a reeducation camp where the very same people complaining about Tier 5 and food stamps will be paying a couple hundred dollars per day to house and feed me.  But that will be alright with them, as their infatuation with Fabien social communism defies all logic and reason.

There are presently 42 million people receiving food stamps.  Now that’s a long soup line.  There are approximately 22 million people out of work indicating that about 20 million of the 42 million receiving food stamps are working, yet there are still people out there advocating lowering the minimum wage and telling others that they should accept a reduced standard of living.

These very same people will not speak out against the corporate welfare recipients as they idolize and long to become one of them.  But that’s alright, as I know that the international corporate mafia will see to it that one day soon our ignorant brethren who are looking at the world through their five dollar pair of Chinese made, rose colored glasses bought at Wal-Mart, will join us in the great soup line.

Vote out all incumbents, Demopublicans and Republicrats alike.

So, what is the latest plot being hatched by the international corporate mafia?  Have you ever heard of Quantitative Easing?  Well this is how it works.  The Federal Reserve has raped our country to the point that they can no longer charge interest on the funny money that we print and give to them to lend to us.  So, they found themselves asking, “Is there any way we can possibly steal more tangible wealth from the American people?”

They answered themselves, “Well do you think they might fall for another dose of quantitative easing, if we called it ‘QE2?’”

And then, “Yeah, that’s a great idea.  Let’s call Timothy Geithner and order him to fire up the presses and print us up a trillion dollars in funny money, have him send it over, we’ll stamp it received, send it back to him, and then he can send us a trillion dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds, which we’ll put in our strategic reserves and earn 3% interest from the American taxpayers on our funny money, through the treasury bonds.”

If we take this one, we might as well surrender this country and hand the keys over to the international corporate mafia, as we will have proven that we are the dumbest people on this planet and do not deserve to have our own country.

I’m sure China will be excited to hear about the new QE2 plan, as they will be assured that the interest rates on treasury bonds will be going up and they will be procuring more of the U.S. through our debt to them.

There have been a lot of people on the comment board expounding, “Now just stop all the bad talk”.  Well, I’ll tell you what people, we had better be talking about these things every second we can while we still can.

There is a push, at present, to pass legislation that would in effect put the internet under the control of a new agency made up of government and corporate representatives, with a communist czar at its head.  The excuse for the legislation is to combat malware.

Last year the government put out a false release saying that The Drudge Report, which is the number one online alternative news site in America, was infected with malware, in order to try to stop people from going to that site for the truth.

If this legislation becomes law, the only way it can be enforced is to have a firewall installed in every computer that will send its data to a centralized database so that it can be analyzed, to separate and quarantine computers with malware.  So how are you going to like having all the contents of your computer sent to a database controlled by a Czar?

Call me paranoid, but I believe that these social communist lowlifes will infect any computer or site that they do not want on the net with malware and shut it down.  Not that any of us are going to have the resources to buy a computer or internet service, as we are going to see the rest of the middle class wiped out through the QE2, when they fire up the presses.

The mainstream propaganda machine is advising the rich who have been sitting on their fortunes to buy gold as a hedge against inflation, as the Chinese have been manipulating the value of their currency which will be driving down the value of the dollar.  Isn’t it interesting how efficient the one world economy is at picking the pockets of the poor and transferring that wealth anywhere in the world with the push of a button?

If there are any 99ers out there who are not feeling like their whole world has been turned upside down, I’d like to know what you are taking, as I want some too.  The private sector lost 39,000 jobs in September.  Initial unemployment claims have been averaging 450,000 per week since January, and as the unemployment rate has not been rising, one has to believe that an average of 450,000 people per week have been losing their unemployment and joining the ranks of the 99ers.

How long does the international corporate mafia think this can go on before violence erupts?  Answer:  Not very long.  The fact is the internationals want violence, as they need violence in order to justify enacting a total police state.  This is why the Tier 5 has not been passed.  They need to get the people in this country under control, as we are hampering their progress on many fronts, one being the North American transcontinental highway which would run from Canada to South America.

This is why doing away with our borders is essential to them.  Once the borders are removed, a flood of cheap labor will come pouring into our country.  Even those enjoying life in the middle class right now will be wringing their hands and asking themselves, “Why didn’t we stop it when we had the chance?”

As many of you know, the traitor Obama has filed suit against the sovereign state of Arizona, which is a member state in the sovereign united States of the Americas.  He is now procuring the assistance of Mexico and Brazil to send their legal experts to aid him in our courts in his treasonous attack against the people of Arizona.  And what is his excuse?  Arizona’s law might affect international commerce, as it could hypothetically result in a Mexican or Brazilian business person being unnecessarily detained.   (What a crock)

Anyone who cannot see this blatant communist traitor for what he is is blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other one.

Constructive treason against the United States of America consists of the advocating of any form of government in the United States other than the free republic described in the Constitution for the United States.

Prima facia is a term in law.  It is defined as follows:  At first sight; on the first appearance; on the face of it; so far as can be judged from the first disclosure; presumably; a fact presumed to be true unless disproved by some evidence to the contrary. (Source: Black’s Law Dictionary)

By all rights Barack Hussein Obama should be impeached and then tried in a court of law for the crime of constructive treason against the people of the United States of America as the prima facia evidence clearly indicates that he is a traitor.

All you Tea Partiers out there had better start asking yourselves why no politician, in power or out, is addressing this undeniable fact, including the Independent candidates.  If any of our so called representatives knows that treasonous acts are being committed by any other representative they are bound by law to stop and correct the situation.  Every damn one of them is complicit to the treason for failing in the duty to stop and correct, including, I’m sad to say, Ron Paul.

I think it’s time to get on our phones and computers and text, email, and tweet demanding that President Obama be impeached.

Seems like just last week, our so called representatives were forking over another $30 billion to the banks, in particular small banks.  We were told that this money was going to loosen up lending so that the rich people who owned businesses could get a new line of credit.

My fellow 99ers, when I was learning about business and economics in high school, one of the most basic principles involved getting out of the red and into the black.

Where I live a lot of businesses failed due to the economic crisis.  But what exactly was the economic crisis that shut down these businesses?  The fact is most of the businesses that shut down had been operating using a line of credit (in the red) for the past twenty years.  This is how rich people run businesses and make sure that if their business fails, they are not the ones who eat the losses.

President Obama told us that the only way we are going to get these private business people who are sitting on their private fortunes to start back up so that they might give us a job, is to put billions of dollars in our local banks so that the businesses can access it, thus a new line of credit and a new chance to accumulate profit with zero risk to their own money.

When we go into a double dip recession we can have another economic crisis, they can file bankruptcy on their businesses again, the tax payer will get to eat their losses, and, of course, whatever money they make while operating in the red, will be added to their personal bank accounts.

Tell me how many times do we have to get punched in the nose before we learn to hit back?

The mainstream media propaganda machine is reporting that the number of small bank failures is going to increase.  In particular, 66 small banks are expected to fail this year and most, if not all, will have received a portion of that $30 billion and will have given rich people with businesses a line of credit.

Then I guess will just scrape up another $30 billion and do it all over again.  Remember, it was just a week ago that we were being told that this $30 billion giveaway was going to solve all of our problems.  They must think we have the memory span of a head of lettuce.

Isn’t it kind of ironic how they came up with $30 billion as the amount to be given to the small banksters?  This is the same amount it would take to fund a Tier 5 Unemployment Extension.

Ever wonder where the money goes?  I mean true tangible wealth.  You know like treasury bonds?  As in the Chinese are pushing our so called representative government to up the interest rate on our treasury bonds to 3%, as they hold $850 billion worth of them.  Could it be that the $30 billion was earmarked for China from the get go?  And could it be that Timothy Geithner is going to transfer the $30 billion into Chinese accounts via the interest rate increase?  I mean, what is our so called government going to tell China, “No”?  If the Chinese called in all the U.S. securities they hold, it would send our economy into a tailspin and our dollar would devalue even more, if that’s possible.

The extraction of tangible wealth can be simplified as follows:  The small business operating in the red loses its line of credit (financed by the Chinese), goes bankrupt,  you lose your job, the bank repossess your house you have been paying on for twenty years, the equity you had in your house (the sweat from your brow that created the tangible wealth/product) is used to pay off the line of credit (to the Chinese), that your ex-employer filed bankruptcy on, and the bank has the house so it can start the process all over again.

People, we are being defrauded, conned, bamboozled, and stolen from.  I find myself asking, “What Next?”  Are they going to come bursting into my house to cart off my stereo and television; my clothes and food?   Because the rich man down the road took a line of credit and went bankrupt on it and his money can’t be touched, as his keeping his money is too vital to our economy.

When everything including the clothes on our backs is gone and we are standing in the streets naked, shouting to the heavens, “Why?”, do you think any of us will feel any comfort when the two bit con man, Barack Hussein Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, appears in a hologram in the sky that’s being broadcast from Switzerland with that feces eating grin on his face saying, “Now calm down, it’s only money”?

Ed Shultz, of MSNBC’s The Ed Show, came out swinging in a blatant effort to try to get the demodummies to take another big slug of purple Kool-Aid.  Ed, who is an actor and not a very good one at that, showed a clip of himself addressing the so-called One Nation Rally, which was made up of 400 individual social communist groups.  Ed, wearing his size 55 pants, paced in front of the National Mall shouting like an evangelist preacher that all of Obama’s failures were the fault of forty republirats in the Senate.

Well Ed, if I remember correctly, the demoscums had a supermajority, which is to say they could pass anything they wanted and no one could stop them.  In order to get that supermajority, the international corporate mafia had their boy, Arlen Specter, who was then a senior senator for the republirats, defect to the demodummies.  Have they not shown that when they want a piece of legislation passed it can be done in a matter of days?  The demodummies passed the legislations they were ordered to pass by the international corporate mafia that owns them, just as the republirats did when they had the majority under Bush.

Ed went on to say that the republirat controlled press was downsizing the actual size of the One Nation Rally.  Further, he said that there were actually 170,000 people in attendance, which he bragged was more than the 87,000 who attended Glenn Beck’s rally, which was labeled a “Tea Party Rally”.  From what I saw on television, I would have to say there couldn’t have been more than 10,000 at either rally.

I know some of you are going to say, “But they reported that there was more than 100,000”.  Well there is an old saying in the patriot movement that goes like this, “If a tree falls in the forest and the mainstream media doesn’t report on it, does it make a sound?”  The answer to the question is hell yes it does.

The true tea partiers marched on Washington DC on September 12, 2009 and numbered between 1.2 and 2 million.  The mainstream media barely covered the event, and what they did show were tight angle camera shots that hid the ocean of people who were there; red, yellow, black, white, rich, and poor.  The press didn’t report it, but it damned sure made a sound that is resonating to this day.  There is another old patriot saying, “The mainstream media lies.”

No Glenn Beck, you are not getting out of it that easy.  You and your psycho buddies, like Senator Jim Demint, claim that God is telling you that He wants those tax breaks extended to the top 2% and for the rich to keep getting richer and the poor to keep getting poorer.  You’re all a bunch of charlatans and corporate whores.   And if a god spoke to you, it was a god with horns on its head and hooves for feet.

If you people cannot see what these petty dirt bags are trying to do, you are beyond help.  When I was a kid, my brother had a little poodle dog that was the most vicious animal I have ever seen.  My dad worked as a diesel mechanic.  Before he would leave work to come home he would use hand cleaner on his hands and wipe them dry using those little blue paper wipers.  The last wiper he used would be barely soiled, so he would stick it in his back pocket to be used at the next instance of need.  The little poodle dog loved my dad and when my dad would come through the door the dog came bounding up to him with its customary snarling.  Sometimes my dad would take the wiper out of his back pocket and start spinning it above the dog’s head.  The dog would start chasing the wiper, spinning in a circle.  After a while my dad would stop and go sit down in his chair and the dog would continue spinning in a circle, sometimes for more than a minute.

Ed and Glenn remind me of my dad with the wiper and the people who are listening to them are as dumb as that dog.  See, Ed and Glen are hoping that the demodummies and republirats will keep spinning in that left-right paradigm just long enough for them to pull it off one more time, as they know that one more time is all its going to take to finish destroying this whole damn country.

If there is anyone out there dumb enough to listen to either one of these two-bit actors, I say you do not deserve to be in this country.  I tell you, straight up, I am sick and tired of living with the decisions of stupid people.

For the rest of you who have broken free from the left-right paradigm, I hope you are as outraged as I am and are asking the question, “Just how dumb do you think we are?”

In the debate over the Tier 5 Unemployment Extension, the assertion is frequently made that those seeking Tier 5 want something for nothing.  The majority of we 99ers have worked since we came of age and up until jobs ceased to exist in our country.  Some people had thirty years on the job when they were forced onto unemployment.  Those thirty years earned them only 99 weeks of unemployment.  I have to believe that the interest on the taxes paid by an individual over thirty years would equate to more than 99 weeks of unemployment.

Now let’s look at some other people who got something for nothing.  Passed on May 20, 1862, the Homestead Act accelerated the settlement of the western territory by granting adult heads of families 160 acres of surveyed public land for a minimal filing fee and 5 years of continuous residence on that land.

The Homestead Act is looked upon by many, me included, as one of the cornerstones for the building of our country.  But was it not a massive giveaway of public lands and resources that belonged to the people, et.al.?  This massive giveaway resulted in huge increases in farming and ranching, which in turn resulted in the establishment of industrial enterprise, which was necessitated by the accumulation of family fortunes and the desire to manufacture goods to sell to the new middle class.

You might call the Homestead Act a stimulus given to the common man who was seeking the American Dream.  But like today, stimulus back then could not be given to the common man without giving a gluttonous amount more to those who were already filthy rich. (The international corporate mafia)

One of the most controversial of the public lands “disposals” was the railroad land grants, a series of federal and state acts between 1850 and 1871.  Prior to 1862, the grants were made via the state governments; nine states granted almost 49 million acres in railroad land grants. In 1862, with the advent of the interstate transcontinental railroads, the federal government began making the grants directly to railroad corporations.

The total land grants to railroads were 130.4 million acres.  The railroad land grants covered ten percent of the continental United States, yet because of the corridor and checkerboard patterns of the grants; their influence extends considerably beyond that. One historian estimates that railroad corporations controlled the settlement of a third of the country, and an even greater portion of the American West, where most of the land grants were located. Even today, the largest land owners in many Western states are still the land grant railroads and their corporate heirs.

Much of the land has been sold to or spun off into new corporations, and the legacy of the nineteenth century railroad land grants is a remarkable and troubling concentration of land ownership and exploitation of natural resources which was never intended by Congress. The control exercised through grant lands has and continues to translate into economic and political power for the corporations which control them.

Since the original land grant laws were written, a third of the land grants have been reclaimed by the U.S. government because of grantees’ failures to fulfill public policies. But millions of acres are still being held and abused by the corporate heirs of the unenforced public land grants. Checkerboard lands within our national forests are being clear-cut, strip-mined, paved, and developed. Scenic lands and wildlife habitat are being lost. Taxpayers are losing millions of dollars in bad public/private land exchanges. Workers and communities are being poisoned with toxic waste. Corporations are squandering our taxes, writing our public laws, and controlling local and national governments.

(Information source: George Draffton, www.landgrants.org)

So, getting back to today, the richest of the rich are crying foul because our so called representatives have not yet extended tax cuts to the top 2% earners in this county.  They are also the ones pointing their fingers at the 99ers and exclaiming that we want something for nothing.

How about you swindling scum bags be made to give back all you have stolen and we the 99ers, working poor, and disenfranchised can just divide it up through a 21^st century homestead act which, coupled with trade tariffs, would end poverty overnight.  And like the first Homestead Act, it would necessitate the rebuilding of our industry in order to provide American made goods to the new middle class who would be driven to keep their money in their country to insure prosperity for their progeny.

It is time for the people in this country to stand up and tell the international corporate mafia, “Get out, this land is our land.”

Banks, CEOs, and people making $1 million plus are in a frenzy demanding the government, that they have bought and paid for, enact measures immediately to protect the wealth they have accumulated over the past fifteen years.  What they do not mention is that the wealth was procured via a transfer from the lower middle class and working poor to them.  This transfer was accomplished through the enactment of legislation that deregulated banks and actually paid the rich to move their businesses overseas, where they pay slave labor wages and very little taxes.   When they bring the money back into our country, they pay little or no tax on their profits.

Now that the rich have accumulated nearly all of the wealth, they want to pass laws that will protect their assets.  It’s really too bad no such laws existed to protect the lower middle class and the working poor.

When Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae, and AIG were about to go under as a result of the grandest Ponzi scheme ever perpetrated on the world, well, we just couldn’t let that happen.  When the lower middle class and working poor lost their jobs, it was C’est la vie, times are tough.

Fourteen million adults are at present living with their parents in order to try to survive from day to day.  They are the lucky ones as many more are living under bridges and in their cars.  At the same time, Paris Hilton, crown princess of the international corporate mafia, announces her new show.  Of course she will make millions of dollars for doing nothing more than babbling the babblings of the mindless twit she is, but hey, that’s just one of the bennies of being a princess.

It would cost approximately $33 billion for a Tier 5 unemployment extension.  The $170 billion still sitting in reserves would finance approximately five more tiers of unemployment.  But then that money wouldn’t be sitting in the filthy rich banker’s bank allowing him to lend out $1.7 trillion to his corporate buddies in order to buy up U. S. treasuries to falsely pump up the stock market, like they have this past September.

After the elections these loans will be called in, the stock market will drop, and there will be more, huge job losses. (Problem)  The people will demand that the government step in and rescue them. (Reaction)  And a whole score of new socialist laws will be put into place by our lame duck congress. (Solution)

After more of the lower middle class and working poor have been reduced to poverty and their wealth transferred into the vaults of the filthy rich, you will hear yet another call to protect that wealth from redistribution as the minions of the international corporate mafia shout out in unison, “There ought to be a law”.

Nicky Diaz Santillan is a Hispanic who has been in the United States illegally for the past ten years.  She became front and center in the news, when Gloria Allred, a California attorney, decided that she was not illegal, she was instead an undocumented worker who had been abused by her employer, Republican candidate for governor of California, Meg Whitman.

It appears that Gloria Allred is a supporter of Democratic gubernatorial candidate for California, Jerry Brown, and has been his ally for over three decades.  In fact she worked as a campaign volunteer for Brown back in 1974.  She also donated $150 for Brown’s campaign for State Attorney General.

In a news conference Ms. Diaz tearfully stated, “I’m doing this because I know a lot of Megs out there who are mistreating the meekest who work so hard for them.”

Ms. Whitman stated that she had hired Ms. Diaz back in 2000 through a hiring agency and that she was assured that Ms. Diaz was a legally documented worker.  In fact Ms. Whitman says she has copies of Ms. Diaz’s driver license and social security card, which in reality are forgeries illegally obtained by Ms. Diaz and illegally used by Ms. Diaz to obtain employment through the agency.  Ms. Diaz also signed an I-9 Form under penalty of perjury that asserted that she was legal to work in this country.

For nine years Ms. Whitman gave Ms. Diaz 15 hours per week of employment at $23.00 per hour.  So what is Ms. Whitman’s alleged offence?  When she found out that Ms. Diaz was illegally working in our country, she had to, as a matter of law, dismiss Ms. Diaz from her employ.  Ms. Whitman could have, and in hind sight probably should have, turned Ms. Diaz in to immigration officials and had her deported.  Ms. Whitman stated that she did not turn Ms. Diaz in because she liked her and did not want to hurt her.

Ms. Whitman is a billionaire. So how will this whole thing play out?  Well by right and by law, Ms. Diaz should be sitting in a jail, facing charges of illegally entering the United States, trafficking in illegal documents, and perjury and Ms. Allred should be charged with harboring an illegal alien.

But nooo; Ms. Diaz will no doubt be filing a law suit against Ms. Whitman for deprivation of her illegal alien rights, when Ms. Whitman should be suing Ms. Diaz for slander and liable and naming Ms. Allred as codefendant.   This little publicity stunt perpetrated by Ms. Allred could very well cost Ms. Whitman the Hispanic vote in California and ultimately the election.  A part of Ms. Whitman’s platform states that she supports vigorous prosecution of employers who hire illegal aliens.

Tell me this country is not 110% upside down and backwards.  I was born in this country, as were my forefathers back to the colonies.   An illegal alien just now crossed the border and has more rights and more representation in my country than I have ever had.

There are a lot of people online saying that Tier 5 is a dead issue.  I say it is only dead if we let it be.  If Tier 5 is dead I will tell you why.  It is because you 99ers out there, after a few months of being told “no” are willing to just lie down and die.  Nothing disgusts me more than apathy.

You know what I think is going to happen to Ms. Diaz?  Well I think this whole thing is going to quiet down up until and through the election.  Afterwards Ms. Whitman, her time being worth more than the money involved, will probably cut Ms. Diaz a check for a couple hundred thousand dollars.  Ms. Diaz will be allowed to stay in our country with her husband and anchor babies, and who knows, one of you who has lost your nice house might get to watch Ms. Diaz pay cash for it and move in.

Do you think you can muster some anger now?  Do you know who gets things in this country?  The people who raise hell do.

When the majority of California voters passed a law against gay marriage, the very next day the gays came out in force.  And guess what; that law no longer exists.  (Screw the majority)

When the majority of Arizona voters passed legislation mirroring our federal immigration law, the very next day the Hispanics came out in force and threw pop and beer cans at the police who were told to stand down.  And what do you know; President Obama and the Federal Government are now using federal monies taken from the people of Arizona to sue them for trying to enforce the law.

We get walked on because we let them walk on us.  And they will continue to walk on us until we say NO MORE!

This is not an endorsement for Meg Whitman but rather a condemnation of the hypocrisy inherent in the system.

As for the tears of the illegal alien, Nicky Diaz Santillan, I say fifteen hours per week at $23.00 per hour; I was born in this country and I’ll take that job.

The Fabian Socialist doctrine teaches that socialism can be achieved gradually through a series of reforms (Change).  So what kind of change?  Socialized medicine usually refers to compulsory health insurance in which the law compels citizens to join a government health program. (Obama Care)  The Socialist Party platforms in the United States have commonly included demands for the socialization and democratic control of natural recourses, money, banking, credit, monopolies and semi-monopolies.  Has the international corporate mafia not taken control of the aforementioned via their money sponsored politicians who hold our highest seats of power?  Since the Civil War the United States has adopted much social legislation but the major parties, the Rs and the Ds, have avoided the term “socialism”, fearing the people might rise up in defense of the Republic.

So what does Socialism have to do with Communism?  Many people think of Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto, as the founder of modern socialist principles.  Let’s take a look at Communism.  By the 1960s communist governments controlled more than a billion people.  However the Communist Party was divided as to how to accomplish world communism.  Mao Tse-tung believed as did Joseph Stalin that world communism could only be accomplished through violent revolution.  Nikolai Lenin advocated a different form of world communism which mirrored Fabian Socialism in that Lenin believed that the workers would rise up in places like America, destroy capitalism through the democratic process, and capture the mechanisms of industry.

Control of speech:  Our so called government already controls mainstream media and if the Cybersecurity Act passes later this year President Obama will be able to shut down the internet for 30 days without any approval from congress for a variety of reasons, two of which are economic and military crisis.

Control of religion:  The government in the last few months has been trying to put the issue of religion in a position that would dictate the government stepping in, in violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which it has already violated through the monetary support of the religious state of Israel since its inception.

Communists often use other groups such as student organizations to further their agenda.  President Obama sent his minions out on a mission this past week; that mission being to poison the minds of our youth with his socialist dogma and enlist their aid in furthering his cause.

The united States of America was founded as a Constitutional Republic with an emphasis placed on the rights of the individual which are outlined in the Preamble to the Constitution (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) and the first ten amendments.  Individualism is repugnant to communism.

There can be no question that the actions being taken by the Obama administration and our so called representatives are an attack on our constitution designed to move us into a Fabian social communist society.  Like Europe we are to be another district in the one world dictatorship.  We are to have the illusion of Fabian socialism as a district in the one world commune.  But the true power will be exercised through pure communism (all workers united under a dictatorship) via the secret committee known as the G20.  It is a fact that our President goes to the secret meetings of the G20 and receives his marching orders from the international corporate mafia (politburo).  He is monitored by his regional communist controller, Timothy Geithner, the current U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.  (9^th President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sits on the Board of Directors of the Center for Global Development, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, trustee for the Economic Club of New York, chairman of the Committee on payment and settlement systems at the Bank for International Settlements, and a member of the Bilderberg Group)

When the first big bank bailout was being voted on in our Senate several senators came forth and said that they were being threatened with martial law if they did not pass the legislation.  Passage of this legislation turned absolute control of our government over to the Secretary of the Treasury Department, Henry Paulson who shortly thereafter turned that control over to Timothy Geithner.  Geithner holds the puppet strings attached to Barack Hussein Obama A.K.A. Barry Soetoro.

People beware as I hear war drums.  I believe that if we the people manage to upset the drive towards Fabian social communism Iran will be bombed to start World War III.  While it’s being bombed four or five selected traitors (senators) are going to go into a dark back room in our Capitol, form a quorum, and vote into law the small arms ban treaty Hilary Clinton signed onto at the U.N.  a few months ago.  If this happens, North Com will be activated, martial law will be declared, and the attempt at confiscating our firearms will begin.  This will result in an all out war.  And as our own troops will not turn against us we had better prepare ourselves to face U.N. troops in the form of Mexicans, Canadians, and Chinese.  Anyone who is not stashing guns, ammunition, and food is a fool.  It is looking more like, “It is not a question of if, but when”.

I know there are going to be people who say that we live in a democracy.  Our founding fathers warned us of the dangers of a democracy in both the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers.  They said that if we allowed ourselves to be lulled into a democracy the lawyers and the bankers would steal our country from us.  Thomas Jefferson said of democracy, “It is two wolves and a sheep, voting on what’s for dinner.”

God save the Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.

There are two kinds of political power; one is wealth and the other is numbers.

Let’s talk about wealth.  Wealth has been the dominating political power in our country for too many years now.  The congress has not even recessed yet and there are five hundred fund raisers on the calendar in Washington D.C.  You see, the politicians do not even have to bother going back to their home states to be bought off anymore, as all is accomplished within the boundaries of the District of Columbia.

Lobbyists literally from all over the world will be writing checks for every candidate up for election.  This is the rich flexing their political muscle, which is money.  Said money is taken by the politicians and a portion goes into what is known by lobbyists as the black hole; having been laundered it eventually lands back in the pockets of the politicians.  The rest of the money is used for advertizing, which we all have seen consists of blanket propaganda depicting each candidate as the worst possible choice we could make.

We the people are then expected to pull those little cards out of our wallets and purses, look at the D or the R, run down to the voting booths and vote for the D or the R, and support the home team reasoning that, as they are a D like me or an R like you, they must be the lesser of the two evils.  Well, I think the cold slap of reality might have snapped us out of the left-right paradigm, but has it happened too late?

Numbers are we the people, the individual voter.  Our power lies in reason.  Once the people have come to the realization that they have been duped, lied to, stolen from, and left on the side of the road like an unwanted pet, numbers becomes the dominate political power.  Numbers can vote all incumbents and all Republicans offering us a redo of the Bush era out.  Numbers can also not vote at all for individual candidates if both candidates represent a non choice.  The non choice votes would have to be recognized because the rest of the ballot is filled out and it cannot be calculated as a mistake as the number of ballots without a vote for a non candidate is too many.

I intend to vote with numbers.  I think, considering the events in Europe, in reference to the governments there taking the wealth from the working people and giving it to the rich, and the violence which is ensuing, our government had better take a long hard look at the votes and the non votes.  Because the most important thing about numbers is that if things get bad enough, the militias in this country are ready to fill the empty hands of the working poor, the poor, and the disenfranchised with guns.

Then these unbelievably arrogant criminal snobs will be facing armed patriots with numbers sufficient to arrest, try, convict, and place every one of them on deportation barges which, will not be landing on the beaches of the Netherlands.  As we will not have killed them, we will be exercising what is known as justice tempered with mercy.  They will understand what this means when the barges land on the beaches of one of the third world countries where the international corporate mafia has robbed those people of their resources, infected them with disease, and left them to starve to death.  We will leave the fate of the rich aristocrats to those they have hurt the most.  Bon Appetit.

Nothing gets my Irish up faster than an Englishman speaking with an British accent on my Chinese made, American television telling me how outrageous it is for the poor to be blaming the rich for their plight, as was the case on Fox Business’ Varney And Company.  The arrogance of the rich never ceases to amaze me.  Over the past two years we have witnessed one of the largest transfers of wealth (from the working people to the rich) in the history of the world.  It is amazing how they can go from free spending lunatics, (when the money is coming from the working person’s pocket and going into their vaults) to the thriftiest of the thrifty, and not only take control of the purse strings but cut them off .

Apparently, there has been a great awakening and many citizens have been registering Independent.  They have attacked the political base of the Democrats and the Republicans, leading to such statements as, “The Democrats may have to take the vote to the people” and “If the gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow we could see a second American Revolution.”

Varney And Company, after announcing the predicament the rich are finding themselves in, then went to work trying to redirect the anger of the poor toward labor unions.  Apparently we are supposed to forget about the $28 trillion the rich have stolen and redirect our anger at thirteen auto workers at Chrysler’s Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit, who were snuck up on and taped by the media drinking alcohol and smoking pot on their break.  The theory being, as Chrysler took bailout monies some of which went into their pension funds, that somehow these thirteen auto workers were ripping we the people off by drinking and smoking pot on their lunch break.

Here’s a news flash for you:  This country was built by people drinking whiskey and smoking pot on their lunch breaks.  It was surrendered by politically correct pencil necks who had no problem peeing in a bottle.  Not to mention the fact that the rich bankers that robbed us blind and even the politicians that work for us enjoy their three martini lunch with a side of cocaine every day.  That is what is known as hypocrisy.

People, we are not only having an effect, we are having a massive effect.  Make no mistake; this is a war for nothing less than our Constitution and country.  When two people with serious differences face off, before the first blow is thrown, the last words are spoken.  We spoke our last words when we said, “Pass the Damn Tier 5 Now” and told Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi that we would either work for or against them depending on how they addressed Tier 5.  They ignored us and the fight was on.

We must keep swinging.  If we quit swinging we lose the fight.  We must not show any weakness like announcing in public that we are not going to vote.  Though a non vote may become a strategy, our strategies must be kept unto ourselves.  As in a fight, if you tell someone you are going to hit them in the jaw, that punch will be deflected.

We must redouble our effort which means we must become twice as mean and twice as determined.  I have, to this day, been responsible for myself and nineteen others changing party affiliation to Independent.  This week I will persuade nineteen more.  If each one of you just doubles what you have done, I believe the main stream media will be forced to acknowledge and report that it is the 99ers who are responsible for the mass increase in the last few weeks in Independent registration.  If we can accomplish this, our so called representatives, and those wishing to become our so called representatives, will have to come to terms with us.  They will have to offer us terms for their surrender, as they will know that if they do not, we will have the power to annihilate them politically.  And that if this thing does not soon come to a conclusion that allows us life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we might realistically annihilate them utterly.

We learned recently that the recession is over.  I don’t know about you, but personally I am having a hard time believing it.  And it’s not just me. I know a lot of people that can’t come to grips with the fact that the recession in over.  That is why I became very attentive when a Fox propaganda piece titled “The Mental Recession” appeared on my television screen.  The following is as much of the interview as I can stomach reiterating.  Dr. Keith Ablow, Assistant Professor at Tufts Medical School, and board certified in adult, adolescent, and forensic psychiatry, is being interviewed by Fox reporters on Fox Business Live.

Reporter:  Dr. Keith, great to have you. Welcome.  So people are really concerned about unemployment as we know is surging, but the stock markets been up for four consecutive weeks.  So is there a bit of a disconnect going on?

Dr. Albow:  I think there is a disconnect.  People psychologically are traumatizable.  Right, if they go to war; if they experience a recession.   They don’t come out of it immediately as the charts indicate they should.  They really feel thins.  So yes, the recession can last internally and have its own economic effects even after the charts say it should be otherwise.

Reporter:  Dr. Ablow, how much do you think is real and how much of it in terms of medically diagnosable and how much of it is perceived, because I think a lot of times, people get bombarded with this bad news.  It’s terrible, it’s awful, and then they start to think it awful even though it might not be that bad.

Dr. Albow:  Well that true but a number of forces here are at work.  One is that people are not only going to need evidence that the numbers are moving in the right direction and there’s a lag time to that because again psychologically we can be traumatized into thinking, “Oh my God, it’s going to happen again, I’m going to open that mail box, it’s another bad letter.”  But also, people have lost their faith in government.  People don’t believe necessarily that any number that says good things are on the way, that those cannot be trusted.  So the failure of trust in our government is yet another layer that people need to overcome.

Reporter:  So if you’re one of these people who are really concerned and felling completely overwhelmed about their prospects; what advice do you have for them?

Dr. Albow:  Here’s what you do.  You don’t internalize the recession.  Look, I understand I just said that people do but you can cognitively tell yourself, “I’m not going to do that.  This recession is outside of me.  I’m still possessed of unique skills.  I have my experiences.  What I need to do is an inventory of those things that I can bring to bear.  Now because my intension is that I’m going to write very good chapters of my life story going forward fifty pages down the line in my life story.  Things are going to take a turn for me and I’m preparing for that right now.”

I have in the past read a few books on psychology just to see how much of this field of study is based on scientific fact.  Beyond primal reactions I found the subject matter to be purely theoretical.  The fact is that down to our DNA there are no two human beings exactly the same.  Therefore, logic dictates that there can be no way to set a psychological standard.  Any person claiming that they know the mind of another person better than he or she has to be purporting the epitome of arrogance.

However, always being one for adventure, I grabbed up pencil and notebook and wrote down every word that came into my mind during the interview, and this is what I got:  quack, fake, phony, charlatan, propagandist, b. s., and poppycock.  These had to be the most ludicrous assertions I have ever heard put forth.

I look over at my wife; she has black circles under her eyes, as do I.  The reason being that, since running out of unemployment, we have only averaged about four hours a night of sleep because we are kept awake worrying as to where we are going to get the money to pay our bills.

I guess maybe I should just stop worrying, get out my little journal and start an entry fifty pages ahead portraying a trip to town to buy a new wallet to put all the money in that I will be making in my new life story.  Of course reality would dictate that if I write in the journal rather than staying focused on the problem at hand, I will end up writing in the journal under a bridge.

I have been trying to decipher just why this ridiculous piece was even aired.  I have concluded that maybe the international corporate mafia is trying to create a new mental illness.  They might even call it 99ers Syndrome, diagnosable and treatable.  Treatment might include a stay at a reeducation center, Zoloft, Prozac, Thorazine, Quaaludes, and electroshock therapy.  And I guess one could be considered cured when he or she could admit to their self that, when big brother says the recession is over, by God, it’s over and that the wind, rain, and snow whistling through the bridge you’re living under is all in your mind.

House Resolution 5297: Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 is passed.  So where is the money going to go?  Well, the bill says that it will deliver $30 billion to small and medium sized community banks (assets $10 billion and under) for a new fund which could leverage up to $300 billion in lending.

What this equates to is the government putting $30 billion into a zero interest savings account that these poor banks worth $10 billion and under can lend $10 for every dollar and collect the interest.  I’ll make it even simpler.  If one of us has a dollar in his or her hand; it has one dollar’s worth of buying power.  Take that very same dollar, deposit it in a bank and the banker can lend $10.  In short, the banker’s dollar is worth 10 times more than ours.

Is this not how we got into this mess in the first place?  Those package mortgages were nothing more than an accumulation of these ten dollar loans, with only a dollar to back them.  I’m sure this bank bailout is going to work just as well as the last two did.  There is $30 billion we don’t have to worry about anymore out of that $2 trillion held in reserve.  I wonder who among the rich, who already have more money than can be spent in a lifetime, will get the other $170 billion.

Hey congress, I’ve got a great idea.  Why don’t we take all assets from every citizen, cash them out, and give the money to the filthy rich?  Then maybe a little bit of that wealth will find its way back to the poor folk.  Wait a minute, that’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.  Isn’t that redistribution of wealth, from the poor to the rich?  Wait another minute; this is exactly what they are doing.  Borrowing money in our poor grandchildren’s names and giving it to the richest people in this country.  Note: said money will have to be paid back by our grandchildren and their indentured servitude will have to make the other nine of the ten dollars real.

I can guarantee you that not one independent voter with a lick of sense, of whom the candidates say they are so concerned, supports this legislation in any way.  Now there’s representative government for you.   Is this legislation not the Americans Want to Work Act minus the Tier 5? Unless we the citizens of this country wake up and realize that those we have put in our highest offices are nothing more than thieves, we are doomed.

Another piece of legislation is set to be debated in Congress this week which will, if passed, close loopholes rewarding businesses for taking our jobs out of the country and offer tax incentives for those that bring them back.  It was introduced by Democrat Charles Schumer of New York.  Tell me, can we have any piece of legislation designed for the recovery of our country that does not give more money to the filthy rich who are responsible for our financial collapse?  It will be interesting watching those so desperate to court the independent voter debate a piece of legislation that, although it wants to close loopholes, represents yet another big handout to the rich.

I have no doubt that the lapdog Obama will complete the procurement of the $30 billion for the international corporate mafia banksters in signing HR 5297 into law.  I’m sure he will indeed sign any piece of paper that gives his masters more wealth and power.  Barack Hussein Obama A.K.A. Barry Soetoro, you are nothing more than another slick talking con man out of Chicago.  The only thing you will get from me is my contemp.

Comedian Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” testified before our congress in reference to granting amnesty and citizenship to millions of illegal aliens in our country and working our jobs.  This little Hollywood twerp apparently worked with illegals on a farm for one day and came to the conclusion that we, as Americans, did not want to work on farms, as he found the labor too difficult for himself.

In the early 1980s this country was in a depression.  I live on the West Coast.  I travelled all the way across the country looking for work.  My dad was working in Indiana, so I had a place to stay.  After a month of searching and finding nothing in the way of employment, my dad, who was a master mechanic and had always been able to find a job anywhere, suggested that we all go to Florida, where he was sure we could all find work.

When we first arrived at Port St. Lucy, Florida my dad purchased a local newspaper and found an ad for a mechanic maintaining and repairing equipment on a large, corporate farm.   He applied for the job and was very confident that he would land it, as he had 10 years experience as a road mechanic for Caterpillar.  That, coupled with his 30 years of overall experience as a mechanic and his impeccable references, should have made it a sure thing.  He was denied the job because he could not speak Spanish.  After a couple of weeks of us looking for work, and my dad being denied jobs because he could not speak Spanish, we were running out of money and getting desperate.

I walked a few miles to an employment office.  When I walked through the door, there was a sign that said, “Cane Workers Wanted – $5.00 per hour.”  I went to the receptionist, pointed at the sign and stated, “I want three of those jobs, one for myself and two for my brothers.”  The receptionist replied, “Are you a Cuban or Haitian refugee?”  I said, “No.”  She then stated, “Those jobs are reserved for Cuban and Haitian refuges.”  I was enraged.  I went back to the KOA Park where we were staying and reported what had occurred to my dad.  He said that we were all going to have to take any work we could find and save enough money to get the hell out of Florida.

We finally found work picking oranges and were more than glad to take it.  We picked oranges for a month, saved our money, and each sold a gun. We then took the combined moneys and got the hell out of Florida.  We stayed at our family farm in West Virginia for about a month.  Twice I hitchhiked 23 miles into the nearest town and back trying to find work.  (Note: I was hitchhiking out of a hollow so it was a lot more walking than riding.)  I could find no work.  I sold my last gun for enough money to get back to the west coast; arriving at my family home in the middle of November in four feet of snow, flat broke.

I say to Stephen Colbert, “The reason you could not handle working in the fields for a day is because it’s hard to pick produce with a silver spoon hanging out of your mouth, as it makes your eyes cross and you spend all day trying to decide which tomato to pick.”

From the time I started working, especially during the hard times, I have worked on many farms and ranches picking produce, bucking hay, and processing potatoes from the field.   I live in a farming community and we are overrun with illegals.  I have no doubt that if they were not here my two sons and I, one of which has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics, could be at least making a little money on the fall harvest.  This place has become like Florida was back in the 80s; you cannot get a job working on the farms if you do not speak Spanish, as you slow down production through lack of communication.

The farming, service, transport, and construction industries have become dominated from the second tier down by illegals, who do not speak our language.  There is nothing left for unemployed Americans who have English as their only language.  I think I would experience pure joy in stuffing Stephen Colbert down his coat rack.

I believe there is only one way this situation is going to change.  We have to take our country back.  And how do we do that?  Take back the $28 trillion stolen by the international corporate mafia (end the federal reserve), seal our borders and deport every foreign national, end CAFTA, NAFTA, GATT, and all other policies paying business to outsource our jobs, reestablish our industrial base, and offer some relief to those in dire need until the aforementioned can be accomplished.

Stephen Colbert, this is our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren we are talking about here.  It is not a joke.

The GOP announced their new plan to save our country.  Many have dubbed it “The New Contract with America”.   The provisions of the contract are:

1. Permanently extend all Bush tax cuts.

Now wait a minute, the ending of the Bush tax cuts is being labeled as the largest tax increase ever.  Talk about double speak, do they think we have no memory?  When President Bush instituted these tax cuts were they not indeed the largest tax cuts ever in our history?  It is not a tax increase; it’s just putting the tax rate back to where it was.  As the filthy rich have the most wealth, they benefit the most from the tax cuts.  I support keeping the tax cuts only for those two worker families making $250,000 or less per year.  So no sale on that one.

1. Cancel all unspent stimulus spending.

As all this stimulus money has been going into the pockets of the rich, I would have to support this in principal.  However, I do want to know what they intend to do with the $2 trillion sitting in reserve.  Are they going to give it back, or is one of their filthy rich good ole boy puppet masters (international corporate mafia) going to pocket it?

1. Repeal all health care initiatives.

Now this one really gets my goat, as the healthcare plan was passed in spite of the fact that 70% of the American people opposed it.  Now tell me this, if the Democrats and Republicans, as it took both to do so, could pass this legislation that the majority of the population opposed, why couldn’t they have passed a Tier 5 extension to help those most in need.  Hypocrite – no sale.

1. Stop Guantanamo detainees from being sent to the U. S.

Frankly, I do not give a rat’s arse about the detainees, as they do not enter my realm of thought.  The only thing dominating my mind is that I’m jobless, impoverished, and running out of time.

1. Pledge to cancel TARP

You dirty hypocrites.  It was President Bush and the Republicans that initiated and enacted TARP.  Oh no Democrats, you are not getting out of it that easy. I don’t remember any filibusters to stop it.  Both the Democrats and the Republicans give money over to their international corporate mafia masters hand over fist.

Then, almost as if to rub our noses in it, Forbes Fortune 500 released its list of the richest Americans.  Coming in at number one is Bill Gates with $54 billion, in second place is Warren Buffett with $45 billion, and in third place we have Larry Ellison with $27 billion.  If that wasn’t hard enough to swallow, the heirs of Sam Walton, as in Wal-Mart, clocked in at $80 billion split between the four of them. (Now that’s a lot of food stamp money.)  All in all, the richest Americans saw an 8% rise in their income.  Last year they lost some $40 billion, this year $25 billion was regained.  I guess there has been a recovery and the recession is over.  At least if you are a multi-billionaire.

I heard it again, and I’m getting sick of hearing it: “This is a jobless recovery”.  This says by definition that all are recovering except the jobless, and the jobless are becoming more every day.  According to The Department of Labor’s latest report, new jobless claims unexpectedly climbed 12,000 to 465,000 last week.  They do not even address the issue of the unemployed whose benefits have run out.

I’m glad the GOP released its plan on the same day that Forbes Fortune 500 released their list, as it only serves to harden my resolve and more clearly define my priorities.  I still intend to vote the incumbents out, hopefully through a vote for an Independent.  If not, I’ll do what I have to.  As for the Republicans, and their new plan to give more money to people who already have money so they can trickle on me, I say after incumbents I will be voting against every Republican who signs on, even if that means voting for a Democrat.

I am continuously fascinated and confused by institutionalized party affiliates.  I do not understand them.  The Democratic Party was the first to come on the scene in 1828 followed by the Republican Party in 1854.  So who represented the collective thoughts of the people before the establishment of the two-party system?  No one.  Believe it or not, the citizens of this country prior to 1820 actually followed politics and made individual decisions on individual issues as independents without the help of anyone.

Someday, hopefully sooner than later, the people of this country will rediscover a simple truth.  It is the freedom to think as an individual that made this country the richest and freest on this planet.  It’s called individual achievement.  I personally despise both the Democrats and Republicans with equal enthusiasm.  That means I do not like President Obama, I do not like George Bush Jr., I do not like Bill Clinton, I do not like George Bush Sr., Ronald Regan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, or Lyndon Johnson.  John F. Kennedy was the last constitutional president of the United States.

How many of you know that Lyndon Johnson was air born when Kennedy was killed?  Also air born at that time were planes loaded with United States battle troops who were prepared to, upon Lyndon Johnson’s order, land in major cities across the country to declare martial law in order to stop any who recognized the coup for what it was.

You people need to learn who your enemies are.   Democrat, it is not your Republican neighbor.  Republican, it is not your Democrat neighbor.  The problem is your ignorance.  Here is a glimpse of your true enemies through the eyes of President Kennedy.  The following is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s speech delivered April 27, 1961 to the American Newspaper Publishers Association:

“The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.

But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country’s peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of “clear and present danger,” the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public’s need for national security.”

The Republicans and the Democrats following the murder of President Kennedy began bringing in administrations, first from the radical left and then from the radical right, but both with the same agenda and that is the theft of our wealth and the destruction of our freedom.  Have we not come to the point wherein we are involved in perpetual war for perpetual peace (perpetual clear and present danger)?   And have we not been stripped of our freedoms and liberties as a consequence (The Patriot Act)?   Was this not what President Kennedy was trying to warn us about?

Those of you out there who continue to staunchly defend the Republicans and the Democrats are demonstrating one of the lowest forms of human thought and that is blind faith, which is the ability to believe in something that you know cannot be real.  What will it take for you to see the muddy elephant fornicating with the muddy donkey in your living room?  Do they have to come and do it on your lap?

The left-right paradigm must be broken if we are ever to see freedom and prosperity in our country again.  That means Democrats and Republicans alike are going to have to break away from their beloved political parties.  I know it’s going to be hard; thinking for oneself can at times seem a difficult task, but failure to do so can only result in tyranny and slavery.

When I vote, I won’t be voting anyone in, but I will be trying to vote every incumbent out.  If I have to vote for a Democrat or a Republican to accomplish this I will do so.  The only way you can hurt the modern politician is to cut short his or her stay in Washington D.C. as the longer they stay the more political power they gain to use to stick the dagger in your back.  This coupled with the fact that the longer they stay the higher their pay grade, thus the more we have to pay for their retirement package, is why we have to vote the incumbents out until they start listening to us.  (Wouldn’t it be nice if you and I, after only two years on the job, could retire at full salary with full benefits?)

People, if we do not come together as one and start attacking this problem as individual free thinkers, we are doomed.
