"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, (i.e., the "business cycle") the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
The Democratic National Convention convened in Denver, Colorado, on Monday, August 25th, 2008. Just days earlier the Democrats Presidential candidate, Obama, picked Senator Joe Biden as his Vice-Presidential running mate. What better sign could there be that the Democrats are solidly controlled by Multi-National Corporate interests. But, of course, you won't get that spin from the Corporate media: not even from CNN's Lou Dobbs.
The fact of the matter is that nearly 63 percent of the American People don't want either Obama or McCain as their next President: this according to a recent Zogby poll. And a historically low 9 percent of the American people think that Congress, both houses, are doing a "good job." Could there be a more convincing indication that this Presidential Election is a fraud? Why is it, that in a country of 300 million, we can't even find 2 candidates that would find majority support amongst the American people?
Well of course most of us now know the answer to that question. We are no longer a government "by, for and of the American People." Nope, we have now become a government "by, for and of the Multi-National Corporate Elite. Legal American Citizens are no longer represented in Washington. And as Bush recently stated, the Constitution is "just a piece of paper" that the Global Elite can now wipe their ass with. And, of course, Congress (both parties) went right along with this act of high treason.
Yet the fact , that nearly two thirds of the American people reject the candidacies of both Obama and McCain, was completely ignored by the Corporate Media. Not even Lou Dobbs reported on this little inconvenient truth. But this should not come as a surprise as Congress now has the lowest approval rate in the history of the United States: only 9% of the American people now believe that Congress, (both Democrats and Republicans), are doing an adequate job.
But why should this be a surprise. Just consider a few of the major acts of treason committed, against the American people, by this bipartisan Congress:
* Congress approved the FISA Bill which gave retroactive immunity to these corporations that illegally spied on the American people and then completely eviscerated our 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. And Obama voted for it.
* Congress approved additional funding for the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which has already cost the American taxpayer nearly 3 Trillion dollars. And Obama voted for it.
* Congress continues to lobby for giving Amnesty to 12 to 30 millions Illegal Immigrants at a time when American citizens are loosing their jobs and their homes in numbers that have not been seen since the Great Depression. And Obama supports it.
* Congress continues to lobby for for more immigration for H1-B, and other Visa programs, in order to displace American workers with cheap foreign labor. And this is occurring at a time when there are not even enough jobs for Legal American Citizens that graduate from our colleges and universities. And yet Obama supports increasing the number of annual H1B admissions, knowing full well that he is displacing American workers from what few jobs still remain.
* Congress refuses to consider ending Marijuana Prohibition despite the fact that such a policy would rob local drug gangs, Mexican Drug Cartels and Terrorist organizations of significant revenue. And Obama is also against any form of Marijuana Re-Legalization for Adult Americans.
* Congress has bailed out the investment class by bailing out Bear Stearns and then GSE's Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae. But they have done nothing of significance to bail out the American People who are loosing their jobs and their homes because of decades of "corporate-sponsored" legislation. Obama supported both bailouts and will most likely support the trillions in bailouts that are likely to come in early 2009 when hundreds of banks are exposed and go bankrupt.
* Congress has supported Bush's "Democracy Initiatives" which have allowed Lebanon and many other countries to devolve into Islamic theocracies. You would have thought these idiots would have understood what Thomas Jefferson meant when he said "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." Congress should have demanded that there be no acceptance of any democracy that does not also guarantee the full set of individual rights as enumerated in our US Constitution. After all, it is a well known fact that our Constitution would never have been ratified without the inclusion of those 10 amendments that we now know as our "Bill of Rights."
Now that I have demonstrated the 2008 Presidential Election, to be a fraud against the American People lets take a deeper look at what went on during the convention:
Marijuana Laws Suspended for Democratic Partiers:
Though I'm an ardent advocate of Marijuana Re-Legalization that is not why I bring this issue up in the context of the Democratic National Convention. The reason I bring it up is because it illustrates the wisdom of "following the money."
The city of Denver has some of the most lenient Marijuana Laws in the country and at last count over 70% of Americans want the sick to have access to Medical Marijuana and an ever growing majority of Americans (nearly 50% and growing according to Zogby) want it outright legalized for adult Americans. Furthermore, legalizing Marijuana would cripple both local drug gangs and Mexican Drug Cartels, that are responsible for literally thousands of murders just south of the border each year.
Marijuana Re-Legalization would also stop the criminalization of over 830,000 Americans each year: that is the number of American that are getting "busted" each year for largely just possessing, not even using, Marijuana. But don't expect Marijuana to even get a whisper during the convention. You see both Obama and McCain get millions of dollars from prohibitionists that stand to gain from continuing with Marijuana prohibition. These donors include:
* Groups like the American Bar Association (ABA) that are dependant on the revenue generated from busting over 830,000 Americans each year. If you "guestimate" $2,000 in attorney fees for each "bust" you are looking at 1.66 Billion dollars for these "scum sucking" attorneys each year.
* Groups like the California Prison Union who are much more interested in locking up non-violent Marijuana users than real criminals. And of course there are the other members of the "Prison Industrial Complex" that certainly also stand to profit.
* The Pharmaceutical Industry that literally makes billions every year through employee random drug screenings that are a violation of both our 4th and 5th Amendment rights.
Of course the very unlikely "write-in" candidacy of Bruce Cain would end this 70 year exercise in corporate butt-licking by both parties. He has promised to do the following 3 things as soon as inaugurated:
(1) Grant clemency to every past, present and future non-violent arrest for Marijuana possession. (2) Pressure Congress to remove Marijuana completely from the Controlled Substances Act (1970) (3) Implement his MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization which would allow untaxed personal cultivation by all Americans above the age of 18.
But rest assured that neither McCain or Obama would even dream of such a progressive initiative after being elected. They would rather see drug gangs endanger your children while Mexican Drug Cartels buy up the governments of US border towns through the laundering of their ill-gotten drug profits. And don't be fooled for a minute: it's all about the corporate money. Because in Washington there is one folk saying that only becomes truer with each passing year.
Money Talks. Bullshit Walks
And let us be crystal clear in what we're talking about here. The money is Corporate. The Bullshit is American Workers that want the reinstatement of some form of fairness to working families. Perhaps both parties should use this as their collective banner in the run-up to the November election?
Democrats and Republicans: Servants of the Global Elite.
In the case of Marijuana Re-Legalization the "money connection" is crystal clear. Both Obama and McCain get very significant "bundled contributions" from the American Bar Association, the Pharmaceutical "Drug Testing" Industry and the Prison Industrial Complex. And let us not forget that both drug company PACs and attorney PACs are mere cogs in the machinery of the Prison Industrial Complex.
So let us be clear. The reason Marijuana is still prohibited is not because it constitutes a significant threat to the American People. It is still prohibited because the major contributors, to both parties, want to continue to profit from Marijuana prohibition. And all the while the American People get screwed though unnecessary criminalization and unnecessary fines while the local Drug Gangs and Mexican Drug Cartels continue to thrive.
Immigration
The Corporate Media has more than happy to go along with the immigration charade during the entire Presidential Election cycle. The fact of the matter is that both Obama and McCain are going to open the floodgates next year by granting Amnesty to between 12 and 30 million Illegal Aliens. And both Obama and McCain are also going to open the floodgates to more foreign H1Bs despite the fact that we don't have nearly enough jobs for our Legal American Citizens. But you sure would not know that from watching most corporate television or print media. Nope, instead they will just hear these nebulous speeches that offer no specifics about what they are going to do when they get in office.
But this is no accident. Both the candidates and the Corporate media are fully aware that the American People will be betrayed by either candidate as 2009 brings in a new Corporate Presidency. The fact of the matter is that nearly 80 percent of the American People want a drastic reduction in immigration and no amnesty for those that came here illegally by both crossing our border uninvited and then falsifying identification in order to secure jobs, once they got here.
Yet take a listen to the following discussion from the Democratic National Convention:
Listen to a podcast of a conversation recorded on August 27th in Denver at the Central Presbyterian Church moderated by The Nation's John Nichols. Nation writers Bob Moser and Roberto Lovato discuss how the Democrats can best pursue economic reform and a fair and progressive immigration policy. =====================================
And then there is Michelle Obama signaling her husbands support for granting amnesty to over 12 million Illegal Immigrants:
As you listen it is abundantly clear that everyone associated with the Democratic Party knows that Obama will most definitely attempt to usher in Amnesty as soon as he becomes the new President.
And consider the following quote:
"But one of the lessons of last year's failed immigration legislation is that the American public wants to see tougher enforcement at U.S. workplaces before it will expand immigration or legalize those in the country unlawfully, said Stewart A. Baker, assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security." Businesses Cite a Catch-22 After Mississippi Immigration Raid Thursday 28 August 2008 http://www.truthout.org/article/businesses-cite-a-catch-22-after-mississippi-immigration-raid
This is nothing short of unmitigated propaganda. Yes, the American people want to see the immigration laws enforced. But the American people do not want an expansion of immigration. Nor do they want to see Amnesty given to 12-30 million Illegal Aliens. This is nothing short of a Corporate Media that is attempting to "manufacture consent" by knowingly misrepresenting the true will of the American People.
And there is an even darker side to the immigration debate that rarely receives any attention. Both legal and illegal immigration are being used by Corporate American to push older American workers out of their jobs in order to save money. As I have said repeatedly: Ageism is becoming the new Racism.
"Ageism is becoming the new Racism."
The fact of the matter is that the bulk of both Legal and Illegal Immigrants are in there mid-20's while those Legal American Citizens that are loosing their jobs are most often in their 40's or older. And once again, it is all about the money. And once again the will of the American people is ignored. Just consider one small fact: the cost of providing an employee with health insurance doubles between the ages of 35 and 50. So as long as this insurance-based medical system continues, older workers are going to be increasingly discriminated against.
Energy Policy
Of course both parties love to talk about how they are going to stop our addiction to foreign oil: something that is costing us nearly 700 Billion dollars each year. And it is a direct result of this that the Middle East is slowly buying up our economy and creating an Islamic "beach head" throughout our country by financing mosques and corrupting our universities through huge annual donations.
Now I want you to watch the following video, from the American Road Journal, to understand just how misinformed you are about the potential for "getting off the grid" and finally enjoying energy independence. The video focuses on a family that is completely off the grid: they use the sun to generate 160% of their energy needs. In other words they produce 60% more energy that they require. Don't you find it curious that the information in this video is rarely shared through the corporate media?
I just want you to ponder for one brief minute what life would be like if you were forever liberated from gas bills, electric bills and no more carbon based fuels were spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. We just might see ourselves moving in the direction of a utopian society. Oh no, can't have that!
But then why would the Saudi's, the Oil Companies, the investment class etc. . . . want YOU to ever get off the grid. After all that is one of the main reasons they remain so much wealthier that you and I. And of course both parties get tremendous amount of money from the energy cartels.
More evidence, that our Congressional Representatives are all talk, can be found in the following article. It talks about whether Congress is going to approve the continuance of "tax incentives" for sustainable energy investments in solar and wind energy. And unfortunately, the odds are, they will once again betray the American people.
"Congress is putting the short-term future of renewable energy companies in jeopardy even as the presidential candidates and most lawmakers hail windmills, solar panels and biofuels as long-term solutions to high gasoline prices and global warming.
Some $500 million in investment and production tax credits will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress renews them. Without that help, solar and wind power companies say they will reverse planned expansions and, in many cases, cut payrolls and capital investment."
So once again corporate money talks and the bullshit needs of the American People are ignored.
Gun Rights and the Second Amendment
Any American should understand that the 2nd Amendment is not designed to allow us to hunt squirrel as Bill Clinton once argued. It is to guarantee that the American People have enough weaponry to depose a government that no longer abides by the will and needs of it's people. And unfortunately I think we may already have such a government. I can only hope that it does not get to the point where guns will be required.
But on this issue every American citizen should be very concerned about the Democratic candidate Obama. I can recall when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the 2nd Amendment in mid-2008 and laughed as Obama attempted to rationalize a decision that he most definitely opposed. Obama, as a puppet for the New World Order, is most definitely interested in gutting our 2nd Amendment.
I find it very interesting that 2 main groups want to disarm the American People: Islamic Extremist Groups (e.g., CAIR) and Globalist Groups (e.g., the CFR). I believe they hold this opinion because they know exactly how hard it could be to take down a country whose people still have millions of weapons. And that is exactly why the 2nd Amendment is so damn important.
For those that want to understand the connection the Obama has with the Globalists I highly recommend the following article:
Our relationship with Communist China has bothered me for a very long time. Since Bush approved China's inclusion in the WTO, in 2001, we have literally seen millions of US manufacturing jobs and factories relocated to China. And 7 years later they are using the profits from their "slave labor" to buy out our businesses and homes in the United States through the guise of "Private Equity" companies and "Sovereign Wealth Funds." Of course the term "Sovereign Wealth Funds" is merely an Orwellian terms which really hides the fact that foreign governments are buying our hard assets right here on American soil.
About 10 years ago I recall this 60 Minutes segment that alleged that China was murdering non-violent dissidents (e.g., members of Fulong Gong) in order to harvest their organs for European and American citizens that were in need of a new kidney or other organ. I remember thinking to myself what a disgusting Faustian bargain we were making by having anything to do with this practice.
The following article shows that not only is this practice continuing, it is growing by leaps and bounds. And of course that means that the number of innocent victims is also growing by leaps and bounds.
Any lover of liberty should be willing to sacrifice whatever is required to stop these atrocities which we only enable through continued trade with China. And the only way I can see this happening is through the imposition of tariffs and the reclamation of our jobs and factories that have been relocated to China. The following Lou Dobb's segments make clear the economic danger that we will incur if we don't change our relationship with China immediately.
The US Economy has probably never been in worse shape since the Great Depression which began in 1929. And unfortunately many of the topics that I have addressed so far -- Marijuana, Immigration, Energy, Gun Rights, China -- are the result of a Global Elite that has been orchestrating the demise of all sovereign republics for decades. They have long been planning the destruction of our US economy in order to consolidate it into the emerging New World Order which will devour every nation on the planet if we allow it through our inaction.
Fortunately I have recently come across an author who shares my view that a new economic paradigm is both possible and urgently required. If this does not occur the vast majority of Americans are going to find themselves jobless, homeless and slaves to a foreign elite that is quickly moving here and buying up all of our homes, businesses and assets. The time for action has arrived.
The author that I am speaking of is none other than Richard C. Cook Here is a link to his collection of essays on the state of our domestic economy:
If you have thoroughly read through this article I'm pretty confident that you will agree we Americans are in deep trouble, regardless of which globalist shill -- Obama or McCain -- ultimately "wins" the 2008 Presidential Election.
Now I am a "write-in" candidate with very little hope of getting a thousand votes -- much less the 40 million that I would need in order to win. But I encourage you to get on my mailing list:
And I encourage you to spread my candidacy throughout the internet by sending a link to www.newagecitizen.com to all your friends and relatives. Also ask them to watch my videos concerning my plan to revitalize the United States: the "New Agenda for America." Here are the initial 10-Planks of the "New Agenda for America:"
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replace the Federal Reserve with a People's Reserve which allows public oversight (10) Absolute support for Net Neutrality
While I have little hope for a win in November, I am hopeful that we can spread the "New Agenda for America" across the internet in the next 2 months. I am also hopeful that we can begin building a coalition of "Freedom Loving Americans' that will become the resistance to which every globalist shill ends up winning the presidency this November. And if you have a webpage of any type (MySpace, FaceBook, personal etc.) please copy/paste this onto your website to promote the "New Agenda for America."
This film, Fabled Enemies, is a "must watch" for every American Citizen. If our current presidential candidates were "worth their salt," which the most definitely are not, they would be calling for a new investigation into 911. But of course they will not because they are basically sycophants of the New World Order. Obama has both been supported and advised by Brzezinski and McCain has been supported and advised by Kissinger. Both are major architects of a global corpocracy which you might recognize through terms like "the New World Order," NAFTA and the "North American Union." I am confident that we will eventually understand that 911 was a calculated event intended to propel us to a global "New World Order" by destroying our Constitution through the implementation of the Patriot Act and other executive directives that have literally gutted our US Constitution.
It must be recognized the the purpose of the "Patriot Act" is to provide a quick escalation toward martial law should the American people wake up to the fact that the Global Elite is about to dispossess Americans of their homes, their jobs, their Constitution and their very futures. Obama will attempt to further aid the Globalists by introducing legislation to strip Americans of their rights to own guns: the very same thing Hitler did before he introduced Germany to Nazi-ism. McCain is no better in this regard. And one thing they both share in common is that they will continue to paint those that question "911" as mere conspiracy nut. Unfortunately the real nuts are Obama, McCain and the majority of our sycophantic representative in both the House and Senate.
I have always had problems with the producers of this film and the previous film that they released: Loose Change. While I do agree with the broader assertion that there was government complicity in 911 there are a few things that bother me. Probably the most bothersome of these is the way they attempt to put all the blame on Israel while basically letting Osama bin Laden, and Islamic extremists, off the hook.
Regardless of bin Laden's role in 911 there is one important thing that simply cannot be argued away: he is a Islamic extremist that wants to see his own version of a New World Order in the form of an Islamic Caliphate that will impose medieval Sharia law throughout the entire planet. If you are a "freedom loving American" you must understand that Islam is the greatest threat to individual liberties for all people: including moderate Muslims. If you want to better understand this issue I would highly recommend that you go to the "Dearbornistan" subweb and absorb every article and video that I have placed there for your education about the very real Islamic threat.
So this is my major problem with this film. If I were them I would have included a statement somewhere in the film along the following lines.
"While there is apparently not enough evidence to implicate Osama bin Laden in the events surrounding "911" we should not forget that Islam itself, represents the most virulent threat to a free society since the Catholic Spanish Inquisitions. And in that light we should also demand to know why the administrations of Carter, to the present Bush administration, have all capitulated and funded Islamic extremists in Afghanistan, Bosnia and have looked the other way as vast amounts of Saudi money have been allowed into the United States to finance and support the building of hundreds of Wahhabist-spewing mosques. Then we might also wonder why the same support to Islamic extremism is also being allowed in Great Britain by both Tony Blair, and currently by Mr. Brown."
It is my intuition that the Global Elite is not just a front for a Jewish Zionist conspiracy. I believe that the New World Order embraces the wealthiest of all the scoundrels that have long conspired to keep the masses under their control through the imposition of usury and subterfuge. And these scum are citizens of the US, Israel, China, the Middle East, Japan and other nations. The only thing that unites them is their vast wealth and their ambition to horde that vast wealth at the expense of the other 99.9% of humans that also share planet Earth.
Around 2000 I recall warming up the audience at St. Andrews Hall, in Detroit, for an appearance by Michael Moore. I don't claim to know him real well but we have talked a number of times before he got to be so big: of course I'm talking figuratively here. I had also asked if he was interested in donating some money to Re-Legalize Marijuana under my "Merp Model" but recall only a deafening silence on that one. My recollection is that he has little sympathy for the 830,000 American citizens that are getting busted every year for Marijuana possession.
But the truth is that if I only befriended those that agreed with me on everything I would have few friends. And I do still consider him a friend despite our differences and the fact that he has not contacted me in at least 8 years. Finally he has added to the public debate in meaningful ways from "Roger and Me" to "Sicko." And for that he deserves credit.
On the other hand I have to wonder if all that money has made him a bit lame in some ways. He supports gun control. I am pretty certain he supports Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. He refuses to force further inquiry into "911" though his film, Fahrenheit 911," did bring important information about the cozy relationship between Bush and the bin Laden family.
But he has got this new movie out that really bothers me called "Slacker Uprising" which gives uncritical support to Obama. And that bothers me because Obama is just another tool for the Globalist Agenda and it bothers me that Moore hasn't the mental clarity to see that. I think he would be better served promoting a grass roots movement against the globalist intentions of either candidate: since it is inevitable that one of these bozos is going to win in November.
There is another problem I have with the film and that is ascribing the word "slacker" to those that will be called upon to take back this republic from the Globalists that have wrested is away from us. I prefer "Freedom Loving Americans" myself. And my problem with this choice of terms (e.g., "slacker") is not to be considered trite. It just seems inappropriate to call those that may have to spill considerable blood to reclaim this republic "slackers." I just don't think it does justice to those that may be forced to give up everything, in order to put our country back on track to further the evolution of liberties throughout this planet.
And while this quest for the holy grail of liberty was most recently moved forward, by the founding fathers through the ratification of the US Constitution. I don't want you to think that they were the only members of this quest. This battle between good and evil has always centered around the availability of knowledge and the engine that drives it: freedom and liberty. It has been fought by Socrates, by Galileo, Francis Bacon, Buddha, Patinjali, Jesus and untold others. And I don't think anyone would refer to them as slackers.
And as for my candidacy. I'm currently figuring about 300 votes from the "US Marijuana Party" that has been gracious enough to endorse me as the "write-in" candidate for the 2008 Presidency. It is abundantly clear to me that what we really need is a coalition of "Freedom Loving Americans" in order to thwart the next president's further movement toward a One World Global Government.
But getting back to Moore. I don't dislike him, after all these years, but I don't think he sees far enough up that "invisible pyramid" to understand the broader Globalist Agenda and what it means to many of the issues that he has fought for over the years. I can only hope that he wakes up to this reality in time to be of assistance.
I have to give him credit for questioning "911" but think he is nuts for not wanting to build a fence to keep out Illegal Aliens. I'm not sure but it sounds as if he supports Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. But I'm not actually sure. If he doesn't want a fence because he supports identifying and deporting Illegal Aliens, that's one thing. If he supports Amnesty they I can't possibly support him. Click link about to watch his entire speech.
Comment: I recently wrote this after one of my fellow bloggers insisted that our founding fathers were in fact Christian. I find myself responding to this claim every once and awhile. They were not Christian but I believe they were men of great principle trying to better an always imperfect world through pragmatic compromise and a lot of moral fortitude. After all they did put up their very lives to establish the Democratic Republic that we are slowly watching dissolve before our eyes since '911" and actually for years before '911." And I must also give thanks to one of the bloggers for providing the great quotes which I have appended to the end of this short article.
First of all I don't think many atheist are apologizing for their beliefs, nor are they trying to subvert your first Amendment rights. But they -- and I -- do fervently believe in a airtight separation between church and state: something articulated by our founders (Washington, Jefferson and Franklin) and later "baked" into our Constitution.
The "founders" well understood the problems with theocracies (Christian, Muslim, Neo-Con, Economic) and implemented these separations (between church and state) as sort of a "fire-wall" to prevent theocratic entities to take root.
Most of the founding fathers were critical of all organized religions and were best described as deists, agnostics, or freemasons. Jesus (if he really existed) was both a Gnostic and an Essene. He also was fervently against all organized forms of religion for all Gnostics believe that you find "god" (also the singularity, dharma, sunyata, bliss etc. etc.), within yourself. I do happen to believe Jesus was most likely a real figure, though there were many preaching similar Gnostic ideals during the time that he lived.
It should also be worth all Christians to attempt to understand exactly why Roman Catholicism went to such lengths to stamp our Gnosticism in the 500 years after the death of Jesus. Google around a bit and I'm sure you'll figure it out. But what it basically boils down to is this: they did it because they could not stand the fact that these Gnostics questioned everything, and that made it difficult for the elite to control the masses. That, in a nutshell, is why this mystery tradition, like most others, was suppressed through crucifixions, torture and other non-violent "Christian" methods. And let us not forget that the Jews and Muslims have done things equally inhumane over the course of time.
Separation between church and state bring us both freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion. And with all the Saudi money coming into US mosques this "separation" needs to become even more airtight in order to thwart the spread of the most dangerous disease that has ever threatened free societies in hundreds of years: Islam.
If you were to read/watch everything on the following subweb you will better understand what I am talking about here.
Having said all of this it is probably worth clarifying that I have nothing against Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Christians etc. as long as they keep their presumptuous beliefs to themselves and don't attempt to intertwine these presumptuous beliefs within the domain of government.
Yoga was the first "mystery" school that I became an initiate. And one of the interesting things about yogic philosophy is that some believe in a god whereas others do not. Most probably believe in the concept of a "singularity" . . . the concept that every atom in the universe is somehow connected. That in fact comports well with "string theory" which has now trumped relativity theory in the minds of most learned scientists. It is also worth noting that the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Reformation . . . and just about every other movement that expanded the bounds of humanity, came from adherents to these very "mystery schools."
There is also little doubt that Franklin, Washington and Jefferson were most definitely of this ilk. I suppose it is also worth noting that these same people did hold high moral codes and could also be classified as spiritualists.
You can argue all you want about this, but these are basically the facts in this matter.
Yours in Freedom,
Bruce W. Cain

Here are some additional ruminations on the founding fathers, conspiracy theory, Alex Jones and other tangentially related stuff:
* I believe Washington was a 33 degree freemason, which is supposedly, but probably not, the highest attainable degree.
* The book "Rosslyn" by Murphy and Hopkins talks about the links of masonry to the yoga chakras, another mystical tradition. Rosslyn church was the final destination (chakra) of the mystical pilgrimage from Compostella to Rosslyn Church in Scotland. There were 7 churches visited that correlated to the 7 chakras of the human body, which roughly correlate with the bodies endocrine system.
* Someone indicated that the Masons were bad guys, possibly associated with the Illuminati. I was addressing this the other day in regards to Alex Jones who has made such association on numerous occasions, as well as cutting the Islamists just a little too much slack in "911." I like what Alex has done to alert people the the coming End Game which I DO agree is in the offing. But, as I've said so many times, I am unconvinced that Washington, for example, was part of the Illuminati. It makes no sense really. Because if he was part of the Illuminati then there was no reason to fight Great Britain as they are up to their eyeballs when it comes to global secret societies.
The reason I addressed this issue is because I really begin to wonder who is promulgating the lie, and to what end. One of my "theories" is that it is being promulgated by globalists that want to denigrate the US Constitution by destroying the credibility of those that wrote and signed it. It could also be Islamists that know that the US Constitution "rains" on their theocratic ambitions because it insists on a separation between church and state. I recently saw a video stating that Franklin drank the blood of children. THAT just rings of the same Islamic propaganda that depicts Jews drinking the blood of Palestinian chidlren. Another obvious crock of Muslim crap.
But of course these are just theories. Now I have addressed this to Alex Jones on 3 occassion and he still has not written me back. If I were to find out that he is being financed by some Middle Eastern money then my suspicious would certainly be elevated.
The broader problem I see is that we need to have models of people that serve to stand for our values. And ever since I was a younge child I was brought up to believe that Washinton, Jefferson and Franklin were of the highest order in that regard. Of course, as I grew up I did come to understand that none of them are perfect saints. Then, I thought, well neither am I or anyone that I know. So I suppose that is OK.
Anyway those are my thoughts on this latest barrage of posts on thsi subject.
American News Project: A calm political protest quickly turned chaotic as anxious Denver police surrounded protestors peacefully marching toward the Democratic National Convention Center. After trapping the crowd between two buildings, hundreds of officers used pepper spray, batons and unwarranted aggression. After being surrounded for 20 minutes, two ANP producers managed to escape after recording the whole affair.
This is not acceptable. Americans are supposed to have freedom of assembly and this bullshit is much more reminiscent of a fascist goon squad. Here is a great quote from one of the protesters that was present in the video (above):
"You know they are disappointed in having to vote for the lesser of two evils. Ask him (Obama) why he voted for the FISA Bill, why he voted for the war, why he reinstated the Patriot Act, why he gave retroactive immunity to these corporations that illegally spied on the American people. I respect that people want some hope and that's what the conversation ends up with. 'I just really want some hope.' He (Obama) kind of pares down what seems blatantly fascist under the Bush Regime."
I could not have said it better myself. As I have noted before, both of these candidates have been selected by both Kissinger and Brzezinski: both high ranking members of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and other organizations of the Global Elite. While you can always write me in ("Bruce Cain") I think the long term solution will involve the building of a large coalition of "Freedom Loving Americans" to oppose everything these fascists attempt to do once either Obama or McCain "win" the presidency in November.
The perfect music for this event has got to be David Bowie's "Fashion"
There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name That people from bad homes do again and again It's big and it's bland full of tension and fear They do it over there but we don't do it here
[CHORUS] Fashion! Turn to the left Fashion! Turn to the right Oooh, fashion! We are the goon squad and we're coming to town Beep-beep Beep-beep
Listen to me - don't listen to me Talk to me - don't talk to me Dance with me - don't dance with me, no Beep-beep
There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear That people from good homes are talking this year It's loud and tasteless and I've heard it before You shout it while you're dancing on the whole dance floor Oh bop, fashion
[CHORUS]
Listen to me - don't listen to me Talk to me - don't talk to me Dance with me - don't dance with me, no Beep-beep Beep-beep
Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion La-la la la la la la-la
Nearly 2 in 3 voters want someone else: 62.4% ofAmericans say they would like to see better choices of candidates, parties in future
WASHINGTON, D.C. Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
A new Zogby poll commissioned by Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily founder and author of the new book: None of the Above: Why 2008 is the Year to Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote indicates a large percentage are ready to throw in the towel rather than vote for either of the two candidates in November 2008.
Unlike any other scientific poll conducted in 2008, this survey asked randomly selected respondents about their level of enthusiasm for presidential candidates and offered the actual alternatives to the major party candidates that will appear on most ballots across the country – as well as the option of simply not voting. Farah reported:
"I think what we see here confirms my observation that there is widespread disenchantment with the two major-party nominees, something that has simply not been adequately measured before this poll. There is a leaderless, grass-roots movement out there to boycott both McCain and Obama in 2008 - to make a statement, to demand better candidates in the future from better parties. This could be a historic election for non-participation in a year with no high-profile third-party alternatives." Barack Obama came in first with just 38.1% of the vote to John McCain's 33.6%. A whopping 21.3% said they were still undecided - a remarkably high figure for this late in the campaign that ends November 4. But another 7.3% indicated they would not be voting at all.
Only 21.7% of respondents described themselves as very excited about the choice of candidates for president this year. A similar number, 21.5%, said they were "not at all" excited about the options.
Younger voters say they want more competition in the political marketplace. Some 83% of voters 18-24 express that opinion, while 73% of those between 25 and 34 do. In addition, 76.4% of those who describe themselves as "very conservative" say they want more viable candidate and party choices in the future.
It also appears the enthusiasm gap hits McCain harder than Obama, with 22.3% of Republicans expressing no excitement at all over the election vs. 11.9% of Democrats. On the other hand, 35.3% of Democrats say they are "very much" excited about the choice vs. 14.4% of Republicans.

Money and Politics in America Democrats at Denver Should Read the American Monetary Act http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9959
by Richard C. Cook Global Research, August 27, 2008
Democrats in Denver Should Skip One of Their Parties and Read the American Monetary Act
How are things going at the Democratic Party National Convention in Denver this week?
Are they talking about the fact that the Western world is run by an international financial elite headquartered in London, the financial capitals of mainland Europe (such as Frankfurt, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Paris, and Milan), and, of course, New York City?
Are they mentioning at their cocktail parties that the financial elite exert control over the world’s population through the cartels that make up the world’s producing economies and through the civilian and military bureaucracies who work for the governments that kow-tow to them?
Of course they know that the most important cartels are those which control energy resources. And that of these, the commodity of central importance is oil. But is any of this helping them draw conclusions regarding the doubling of oil prices during the last year or about the largest oil company profits in history?
Also, they should be drawing the right conclusions from the fact that every private and pubic enterprise operates on the basis of a money economy, though it would be more accurate to call it a credit economy. This means that whoever controls the issuance of money and credit controls the world. And the world’s monetary systems function on the basis of money and credit being introduced into circulation through loans from the banking system, loans for which interest is charged. So what should that tell them?
In fact, they should be pointing out to each other and their TV viewers that the charging of interest for the use of money is a chain around the neck of everyone on earth. Further, that these cumulative interest charges are built into the price of every product that is manufactured or consumed. And that growth of debt means price increases too.
They should be honest in making it clear that the world is a master-slave society, that the slaves are those who borrow and pay interest, that the masters are those who collect the interest, and that this unjust system has existed in one form or another for thousands of years.
The candidates and delegates are talking about the aspirations of the American people and how everyone should have an opportunity to achieve their dreams. But if the United States were a free nation, they would also be talking about a financial system that destroys people’s dreams.
Unfortunately, the highest rung the candidates and delegates have been able to reach on the ladder of modern-day slavery is the need for more jobs—but they fail to note that jobs are not only the means by which people live, but also the instruments for them to pay the heavy burden of interest the masters of finance require.
What they won’t say is that the world economy is based on usury, something religions used to consider a crime (and which Islam still does). Usury is the charging of interest for the use of money. As the religions backed off from their prohibitions of interest, usury became just excess interest. But that’s not what the word really means.
So what have over two centuries of usury done to the United States ?
The best answer ever given to that question was contained in a paper entitled “Revisiting U.S. Public and Private Debt” published in January 2005 by Dr. Bob Blain, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Southern Illinois University. The paper updated an earlier study by Dr. Blain published for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the International Social Science Journal, November, 1987, Paris , pages 577-591.
In his paper, Dr. Blain examined the growth of total public and private debt in the U.S. Total debt includes “the debts of governments (federal, state, and local), corporations, farmers, home mortgages, and consumer, commercial, and financial debts.”
In his analysis, Dr. Blain began with data from the Bureau of Economic Analyses of the United States Department of Commerce which covered the years 1916-1976. After that year the Bureau stopped publishing the data.
The figures showed that from 1916-1976, total U.S. debt grew from $82 billion to $3,800 billion ($3.8 trillion). But most of that growth was during the last 21 years, from 1955-1976, when it began to grow exponentially. Dr. Blain wrote, “The consistency of the pattern suggests that some imperative is at work, something that requires debt to increase.”
Dr. Blain found the answer by researching American history. He wrote: “Then I read G.R. Taylor’s 1950 book, Hamilton and the National Debt, which described the debate over Alexander Hamilton’s plan to fund the new economy with borrowed money.” He continued:
“The most revealing account was a speech by the first congressman from Georgia, James Jackson, on February 9, 1790, in which he predicted that adoption of Hamilton ’s funding plan would lead to the explosive growth of debt. Jackson said, ‘Though our present debt be but a few millions, in the course of a single century it may be multiplied to an extent we dare not think of.’” (Annals of Congress, Vol. I, February 1790, pp. 1141-2)
From the very beginning, the U.S. had a monetary system based on borrowing and debt. First came the thousands of state chartered banks that began operating late in the Revolutionary War period and continued in one form or another until today. Then there were the two early central banks: the First Bank of the United States (1791-1811) and the Second Bank of the United States (1816-1836). Today’s national banking system began during the Civil War with the National Banking Acts of 1863-64. Then there is the system we are living under today, the Federal Reserve, chartered by Congress in 1913. Even during the times when the government has sold its debt directly to the public, as with war bonds, savings bonds, and Treasury notes and bills, that too has been money borrowed at interest.
Although there have been times in history when money entered into circulation other than through debt, such as with coinage and the Civil War greenbacks, those were exceptions and today are of little importance.
Dr. Blain estimated that from the time Alexander Hamilton placed the U.S. under a debt-based monetary system until today, the debt has compounded at 5.8 percent annually. The big problem with this system, he said, was “that no money was created to pay interest.” He continued:
“Loans created only the principal. Interest had to be paid out of principal. So payment of interest reduced the money supply and slowed economic activity. Recovery could come only when new loans were taken out at least equal to interest paid.”
Dr. Blain concluded, “As long as the money supply of a nation is created as debt costing interest, debt must grow by compound interest.” From a longer-range view, it’s a system that is constantly collapsing and that must constantly be bailed out.
Dr. Blain next sought to update his figures past the 1976 data from the Bureau of Economic Analyses. Turning to the Federal Reserve’s series on “Total Credit Market Debt Outstanding,” he found remarkably similar indicators.
He found that adding data from the Federal Reserve from 1945 to 2003 showed the “debt explosion” continuing. In 1945 total debt was $463.4 billion. In 2003 it was $44,967.7 billion ($45.0 trillion). When he projected the debt level for 2010, he arrived at a figure of $74.9 trillion. By this time the debt curve was climbing so steeply there would be almost a doubling of the amount of total debt in only nine years.
It might be argued that these figures do not take into account inflation. This is because lending at interest is the cause of inflation. The dollars still have to be repaid with interest. The problem occurs when economic growth, measured by GDP, does not keep up.
Looking at the growth of GDP from 1945 to 2003, the increase was from $223.1 billion to $10,987.9 billion, a factor of 49. But the debt ($463.4 billion vs. $44,967.7 billion) grew by a factor of 97, almost twice the rate of GDP growth. Thus the total debt burden on the economy has doubled from a ratio of 2:1 to more than 4:1 (though it was much less than that during the early days of the nation).
But with continued compound growth of debt and a slow- or no-growth state of the economy as we head into a recession, we are starting to see what Dr. Blain called an “acceleration to meltdown.” He wrote:
“We are buying more and more in the same amount of time. Witness the efforts of people to get rid of their excess through yard sales, storage units, and big trash pickup days, and the massive size of what are euphemistically called landfills. While two billion people in the world lack basics such as clean water, food, and shelter, Americans throw away their microwave ovens, televisions, computers, refrigerators, furniture, and cars. Meanwhile, acceleration is applauded as increasing productivity. It’s like arguing that cancer is good because it grows.”
These are the things the Democrats in Denver should be talking about, instead of going to so many parties. They should be making note that the U.S. , to quote economists close to the Federal Reserve, is “functionally bankrupt.”
In fact, the debt this nation owes to the banks, to foreign creditors, and to each other can never be paid off. Further, one big reason for all of our fruitless military endeavors overseas may simply be to escape unpleasant economic realities at home. But this is pointless. Nothing creates more debt than war, as the bankers have always known.
The only solution is to adopt a monetary system that is not based on debt. Dr. Blain makes a couple of specific recommendations: 1) “Stop using percentage rates to calculate charges for the use of money”; and 2) “Congress must supply the economy with a money base that is debt-free and interest-free.”
The second point is a call for a new monetary system, not one based solely on lending by the banks or on government borrowing. One organization that has developed a blueprint for such a system is the American Monetary Institute (AMI), headquartered in Chicago . The director of the AMI is Stephen Zarlenga, author of a massive, groundbreaking work: The Lost Science of Money (AMI, 2002). Zarlenga’s assistant is Jamie Walton, a monetary reformer from New Zealand .
AMI will be holding its fourth annual conference in Chicago on September 25-28. Expected as keynote speaker is Congressman Dennis Kucinich, whose wife Elizabeth once worked as an intern at AMI. Dr. Bob Blain will be a featured speaker.
On the AMI website at www.monetary.org is a remarkable document, the American Monetary Act. The product of several years of work by Zarlenga and his network, which now includes a number of local chapters around the country, the American Monetary Act would replace today’s debt-based monetary system with one where the government spends or loans money directly into circulation.
Under the Act, the Federal Reserve would be retained as a national financial clearinghouse but would no longer be a bank of issue. The system would be overseen by a Monetary Control Board within the U.S. Treasury Department. The Act also includes a provision for a citizens’ dividend, similar in some respects to the Alaska Permanent Fund, which would inject desperately needed purchasing power into the economy without additional government debt or taxation.
Also promoting a citizens’ dividend, by the way, is Stephen Shafarman in his important new book, Peaceful, Positive Revolution. (Tendril Press, 2008)
It’s the American Monetary Act the candidates and delegates in Denver should skip one of their parties to read, because it’s the only way any of their hopes for America can ever be realized. Says AMI’s Jamie Walton:
“This is a crucial time. Things are happening. We have got some key media people talking and writing about our kind of reforms. The inertia is starting to yield. Things are starting to roll. The worsening conditions in 2009 will give us a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be heard above the propaganda.”

Comment: The fact that major US Corporations -- GE, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Google, Microsoft etc. -- continue to do business with a country that murders their own citizens, (mainly Chinese Fulong Gong prisoners), in order to harvest their organs for profit, is something that has bothered me for years. Much of this is basically being covered up by large Media (e.g., CNN) that don't bother to report on these unbelievable human rights abuses. The link (above) will open up a series of articles on the subject. I think it is time to demand that we begin the withdrawal of all of our industries with Communist China immediately. The fact of the matter is that with each purchase we make from China we are providing more money for their military which we may very well have to fight in the not to distant future. Either we act in accordance with our value for humanity now or we very well find ourselves becoming "organ donors" ourselves, should China succeed in achieving hegemony over the United States.
Let me make the point a little more succinct. Let's fuck China now, in order to prevent them from fucking us later.
I want to thank Richard Rawlings for nominating me on behalf of the United States Marijuana Party. To be clear it would take a historic viral internet campaign to actually deliver me to the White House in 2009. But it is my hope that we minimally build a large coalition, in the next several months, so that we can minimally push the "New Agenda for America" down the throats of whichever Corporate Candidate (e.g., Obama or McCain) actually "wins" the election.
Here are the initial "planks" of my Presidential Platform known as the "New Agenda for America:"
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replace the Federal Reserve with a People's Reserve which allows public oversight (10) Absolute support for Net Neutrality
Of course one of the 10 planks, of the "New Agenda for America" is the MERP Model for Re-Legalizing Marijuana.
The MERP Project The Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy (MRP) Project
This is the most progressive of all Marijuana reform models because it basically allows all adults over 18 to grow up to 100 plants without ANY federal taxation, regulation or other forms of interference. I would also argue that this small expansion of individual liberty is required, given the liberties that have been lost since September 11th, 2001.
If, by some miracle, I did win the election, my first official act would be to set up a special office that would grant clemency to EVERY non-violent Marijuana offender throughout the United States. This would be followed by executive pressure on both Houses to remove Marijuana completely from the Controlled Substances Act (1970). This would definitely end 70 years of needless Marijuana Prohibition throughout the United States of America.
The very next thing I would do is reinstate Habeas Corpus and Posse Commitatus. It should be remembered that the writ of habeas corpus goes all the way back to the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 AD. That is a good measure as to how far George Bush has pushed back the rights of Americans in the last 8 years. After that is a long list which would include:
* Sending out the 12 million "No-Match" letters and deporting all Illegal Aliens and Visa "overstays" that these letters would surely identify. * Reopen the "911" investigation with the help of such experts as Griffin etc. * Drafting a massive "debt relief" program for legal American Citizens that will assure the ownership of their homes and the access to American jobs and other opportunities. * Complete disruption of funding to any nation (e.g., Saudi Arabia) that does not recognize inalienable rights such as Freedom of Religion and Separation of Church and State.
Well, I think you've got the idea. It would not be "business as usual" unless of course we are finally talking about the People's business. And it is sad to say that no one has talked about the business of the American People in at least 50 years.
Now for more information on the United States Marijuana Party:
The United States Marijuana Party - is a motivated group of Americans who are tired of living in fear of their government because of marijuana prohibition. We are fed up with the intrusion into our personal lives, with urine testing at work and at school, with armed home invasions, and with the possibility of prison because of a plant. WE are Americans and WE do not piss in a cup for anyone!
WE feel it is time for the 12 million Americans who smoke marijuana on a regular basis to stop hiding their love for this plant and unite as one large body of voters to demand an end to the unconstitutional prohibition of marijuana and the drug war. The U.S. cannot lock up 12 million people. The War on Drugs causes more harm than the drugs themselves ever will. United WE are a potential 12 million vote political machine. WE want to live free and WE must be determined to stand up, be counted, demonstrate, rally, and write. Waiting for the government to silence us all in the American prison system is not an option! Too many of our brethren are there, in prison right now.
More Americans are in jail today for non-violent drug offenses than at any previous time in American history. More Americans are in jail today for marijuana offenses than at any previous moment in American history. The war against marijuana is a genocidal war waged against us by a government determined to eradicate our plant, our culture, our freedom and our political rights.
Though I recommend a 10-year amnesty -- on foreclosures of primary residences, owned by Legal American Citizens -- I'm not really quite sure if that is the answer. What I do know is that the elite has screwed the American working class, over the last 50 years, and some form of massive debt relief IS in order. Moreover this relief needs to be distributed immediately given the unrelenting destruction of jobs that has occurred over the last 7 months. My chief concern is extending meaningful, equitable relief to the American working class.

Today I am challenging candidates McCain and Obama to join me in calling for a 10-Year Moratorium on the foreclosure of all Primary Residences owned by Legal American Citizens. This is part of a 4-point plan that they can implement immediately to show their leadership abilities as Senators. This 4-point plan will provide both jobs and debt relief to all Legal American Citizens at a time of unprecedented economic uncertainty.
But first let me introduce myself.
My name is Bruce Cain. I am the author of the “New Agenda for America:” a set of policy planks, favored by many Americans, but ignored by Corporately-financed candidates Obama and McCain. I am also running as a “write-in” candidate for the 2008 Presidency in order to illustrate that there are sensible alternatives to many of our current policies that are not being given due consideration by either Congress or the Presidential candidates.
For the last year the elite, through a corporately controlled media, has been promulgating what I like the call the “Big Lie” about Home Foreclosures. The “Big Lie” goes something like this:
“The only people loosing their homes, over the last 2 years, have been Americans who had no business purchasing a home in the first place.”
This is not only a “big lie” – it is a calculated lie: a lie with a purpose. And the purpose of this lie is to cover up the real reasons for levels of home foreclosure that now threaten to exceed those levels seen during the Great Depression.
The “big lie” on foreclosures is an attempt to cover up the ongoing economic destruction of the American Worker: the destruction of our jobs, our pensions, our social security; the devaluation of our dollar, and much, much more. All these things, taken together, constitute a “perfect storm” of destruction of both the American worker and the American family. Only a traitor would allow such policies to continue. Truth be told, both our President and our Congressional Representatives have sold out the America people and have also nearly destroyed the US Constitution.
Text: Case Study: Fire an American, Hire a Foreigner
My introduction into the “New World Order” came a little over 8 years ago. I was working as a Systems Analyst and needed to pick up the family health insurance. My wife wanted to go part time and health insurance was not provided for her as a part timer. I checked with Pat, the executive secretary where I worked, and she assured me that health insurance was part of the benefit package and that it should not be a problem.
About a month later some odd things began to occur. I started getting written up for trivial things, like saying “silly” in a meeting. Despite my excellent work record they fabricated a paper trail, over the next year and ultimately fired me.
The day I was fired, I had just returned from a medical leave. Pat had previously assured my wife that they were excited about my return. But immediately upon my return Pat called me to a meeting with Gary, the companies Chief Financial Officer.
At the meeting I was told that I was immediately terminated and my family’s medical insurance would end at midnight. In addition they informed me that, because they were firing me “for cause,” I would not receive any unemployment. It took over 6 months of litigation before the Michigan Labor Board determined that I was not fired for cause. But even though they falsely fired me, all I got out of the deal was an unemployment check.
This is a company with no concept of family values. To the contrary, this is a company that is willing to throw American families into the path of a train in order to maximize profits. And if it means replacing hard working American workers with foreigners, that doesn’t appear to be a problem.
It is important to note that the day that I was fired, my office was already occupied by an Indian programmer who could barely speak English. Nearly 8 years later the entire IT staff, of my former company, is dominated by foreign Indian IT workers: who are ironically getting paid through the federal and state taxes of American citizens.
The Real Foreclosure Problem: Americans are being replaced for foreigners
It has only been in the last few years that I have fully understood just how badly my own government has screwed millions of other blue and white collar workers. And as the good jobs continue to go to foreigners, Americans are unable to pay their mortgages. That is the real “foreclosure” problem in the USA: the displacement of American workers for cheap foreign labor.
We are being betrayed.
The fact is our own government is purposely targeting American workers and incentivizing their replacement them with younger foreign workers. Consider the following:
* The cost of providing health insurance, by your employer, doubles between the ages of 35 and 50. So a given employer can save nearly $6 thousand each year by merely hiring a younger worker. Ageism is becoming the new Racism, yet no one is talking about it in the Corporate-controlled media. * Because many foreign workers are dual citizens the employer does not have to contribute 6.5 percent of the workers gross into Social Security.
These are just a few examples of how US businesses are profiting by getting rid of American workers. And whether this foreign worker sits at your desk in the US, or a desk in India, China, or some other 3rd world country – you’re still going to loose your job and possibly your career.
The Biggest Lie: Free Trade Agreements are good for America
And what is driving this is probably the biggest lie of them all: Free Trade Agreements. The concept of free trade goes back to the economist, Ricardo, who looked at free trade in terms of “comparative advantage.”
But the globalists conveniently ignored Ricardo’s warning that, in order to ensure mutual gains of trade, only consumer goods and producer’s goods must be allowed to cross boarders. For if labor or capital crosses boarders, all of the capital will flee to the place where there is absolute advantage.
"Mutual Trade Gains are lost when labor or capital are allowed to cross borders"
And that is exactly what has happened. Our jobs and factories have been shipped out to China, India and other cheap labor markets. And this is why we can no longer pay our mortgages. This is why we are going bankrupt. And the last 5 Presidents and your Congressional Representatives did this to you. Doesn’t that make you at least a little bit angry?
Meanwhile, the top 1% benefits, with each additional job loss, because the only reason they can continue profiting, off their stocks and hedge funds, is if they can continuously reduce the cost of labor and seduce the worker into more and more debt. And when their sub-prime investments tank they can just have the fed bail them out and give the bill to the American worker.
And this bailout can be summarized by this phrase I’ve begun to hear lately. We are seeing the “privatization of profit and the socialization of debt.” In other words the fed will bail out the elite’s bad investments and the working class will ultimately foot the bill.
Obama will ignore this. McCain will act like he doesn’t understand this. But the fact of the matter is that our government is screwing its own people. So now the government needs to “unscrew” the people. Some form of fair, but massive debt relief is required right now in order to salvage the American worker and the American family. Otherwise we will be literally displaced by foreigners.
Consider this.
* Current projections estimate over 5 million American families will be left homeless, due home foreclosures, between January 2007 and December 2008. That means that roughly one of every 20 American families have been thrown out on the street in just the span of 2 years. * The average retiree only has $60 thousand dollars in their account at the time they retire: barely a year’s wages. And growing numbers of retirees are going bankrupt as they enter retirement because they are unlikely to have supplemental income, such as pensions, paid medical benefits etc.
What is to become of the American worker and the American family?
Well, if we allow this to continue then Jefferson’s warning will come true. For he warned us in the following statement:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, (i.e., the "business cycle") the banks and corporations, that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Jefferson’s warning is becoming today’s reality and it must be stopped. I challenge Obama and McCain to implement the following 4-point plan immediately to save the American worker. Today is July 17th, 2008.
And here is the 4-point plan:
(1) 10-Year Moratorium on Foreclosures; (2) Send “No Match Letters”; (3) 20-Year Moratorium on Legal/Illegal Immigration; (4) Universal E-Verify]
(1) Implement a 10-year moratorium on all foreclosures on primary residences occupied by legal American citizens. I also recommend that any American citizen, that has lost a home since 2000, be offered homes of similar value, to the homes they have lost. Ultimately the Federal Reserve should be forced to pay off most mortgages as it has been the deceit of these very global bankers that got us into this mess in the first place. Additional debt relief measures will follow to insure equal relief for all Legal American Citizens. We simply cannot allow millions of American families to become homeless.
(2) Send out of the 12 million “no match” letters in order to rid all visa over stays and illegal immigrants from our workplaces. This could instantly create over 6 to 10 million jobs for American workers. These “no match letters” are currently held up in federal court.
(3) Impose a strict 20-years moratorium on all immigration into the United States which includes moratoriums on anchor babies and chain migration. Immigration is the primary driving force in population growth and we cannot afford ANY further growth. We are already seeing water shortages on the East Coast in the Southwest.
(4) Implement emergency legislation to force all US businesses to E-Verify every single worker that applies for a job immediately.
It is more than evident that the globalist model is a recipe for economic disaster. Also evident is the need to protect American families during this unprecedented transition between economic models. The “New Agenda for America” will aid in this transition by stopping further immigration, bringing back our industries and working toward an era of sustainable energy independence. The North American Union must be stopped, dead in its tracks. For more information on my “write-in” candidacy and the “New Agenda for America” I highly recommend that you visit my website “New Age Citizen.” To watch other videos, pertaining to the “New Agenda for America,” please go to the following link:
Finally, let me make an observation. The 4th Amendment guarantees the right of “the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects.” In other words our founding fathers assumed we would have homes in which we could expect to be protected. Apparently Bush, Clinton, Obama and McCain no longer care if we have a home or a future. Get on my mailing list and get involved. The peaceful, viral, internet revolution needs to get started right now. It is time to take our country back.
Comment: I don't know more than what is presented here but it appears to be an action that I can lend support. The organizers appear against further immigration and support a number of the "New Agenda for America" planks. So check it out and see what you can do to participate. BC
The reason for this shutdown is not to hurt this country in any way shape or form. But is in fact a peaceful method of sending a message to Washington, D.C.
We the people...The Constitution of The United States of America spells out in the first line where the power of our great democracy lies. Unfortunately we the people have allowed the power to slip away to special interest, lobbyist, corporations and career politicians. It is time to reclaim our democracy from the people that are destroying it. Thomas Jefferson said that “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent” now is the time for all people to be heard.
The framers of our democracy did not intend our representatives be career politicians. They foresaw the danger in this. The constitution states that “The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year.” The framers intent was for our democracy to be governed by everyday people not career politicians for obvious reasons. Legislators would meet enact laws and go back to their chosen profession. Career politicians will do and say anything to keep their power. Power corrupts even those with the best intentions.
Individually we find that we are powerless against corporate media or Big Oil or Washington. Our choices are limited. Our effectiveness diminished. This is not by accident. Unions, social gatherings, clubs that all flourished before the 1960s have all been destroyed by those who find you & me to be a threat.
Without direct action, republican democracy is truly disempowering: our only means of influence are to beg the Very Serious And Important Intermediary - the congressman, the governor, the president, etc. - to do something on our behalf.
We all know how well that has worked out.
Today people will tell you that protest are ineffective. And they are. But real change does not come from the ballot box. Great social change like the eight hour work day, child labor laws, a woman's right to vote, civil rights, etc., etc. all came about through blood & sweat & great effort.
The Establishment wants us to focus all of our energy on elections because elections are the controlled space whereby popular ferment can be contained by rules, regulations, etc. But there are many different methods of direct action - ie. taking matters into our own hands - that can wield a tremendous amount of power.
The only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is---to do nothing. That's right, nothing. To go on strike.
It is one thing to endure abuses and to carry on in spite of them. It is quite another thing to carry on to the point of abetting the abuse. We need to move the discussion of our nation's health to the emergency room. We
Well of course most of us now know the answer to that question. We are no longer a government "by, for and of the American People." Nope, we have now become a government "by, for and of the Multi-National Corporate Elite. Legal American Citizens are no longer represented in Washington. And as Bush recently stated, the Constitution is "just a piece of paper" that the Global Elite can now wipe their ass with. And, of course, Congress (both parties) went right along with this act of high treason.
