From the Trenches World Report

#1 Right now, the U.S. government says that 14.1 million Americans are unemployed.

#2 There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States today than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million people to the population since then.

#3 The number of Americans that are “not in the labor force” is at an all-time high.

#4 The United States has never had an employment downturn this deep and this prolonged since World War 2 ended.

Well it would seem that our economic upturn reported on Thursday with 157,000 new jobs created has on Friday turned into a further economic decline with only 18,000 jobs created.  Does anyone out there really think such a discrepancy can be attributed to a mistake in calculations?

We all know what our social security number is.  We know it is the secret numbers to our secret accounts that no one else can to be privy to.  You know, the number we have to give the phone company when we get a phone, the electricity company when we turn on our electricity, the bank when we open a bank account.  In essence the quintessential number that is used to track and trace our every activity.  To make any assertion that those posing as our government do not know who among us is working and who is not, and in reality how much money we have in our pockets, is absurd.

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.
