America Never Declared War, So War Crimes Don’t Apply ???


Is America at war with Iraq? How about Afghanistan? Pakistan?

The answer to these questions is perhaps the most important concept that the citizens of the republic of the United States can possibly understand.

The answer is… NO!

No legal or constitutional declaration of war has ever been stated, and therefore America is not officially in a state of war. And the implications of this are more far reaching than any of us realize.

Why is this fact so vitally important to the heath and welfare of America?

If you understand nothing else about the so-called “war on terror”, I wish it to be this: without an official declaration of war by way of congressional decree under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States, America has no authority or legitimacy to attack, occupy, kill, or enter forcibly into another country. The president of the United States cannot declare war; only the congress can approve war. This means that our president, his cabinet, the Congress, and judicial branches of government are all in violation of our most cherished laws under the Constitution of the United States.

The following are the reasons this fact is so important to comprehend, and why if we don’t stop this from continuing to occur – in Pakistan, then Iran, and eventually in our own beautiful, once free United States itself – We The People of the United States of America will lose everything our Constitution grants to us.

—-> The Geneva Convention – this set of documents, of which America is a signatory, are international treaties binding all States that have accepted them. Almost every State in the world has signed the Geneva Conventions. The 1st and 2nd Geneva Conventions straight forwardly state that the sick, wounded and shipwrecked must be cared for humanely and adequately by the enemy state. “Combatants” must treat members of the enemy armies who are wounded, sick or shipwrecked as carefully as they would treat their own injured or sick. All efforts must be made to collect the dead quickly, to confirm death by medical examination, and to identify bodies and protect them from robbery. Medical equipment must not be intentionally destroyed, and medical establishments and vehicles must not be attacked, damaged or prevented from operating even if they do not contain patients. The 3rd Geneva Convention states: “Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War” members of the armed forces who fall into enemy hands are to be considered without exception to be in the power of the enemy State, not in the hands of the individuals or troops who have captured them. The state is therefore responsible for their soldier’s treatment of POW’s.

The convention clearly states that Prisoners of war MUST BE:

– Treated humanely with respect for their persons and their honor.

– Enabled to inform their next of kin and the Central Prisoners of War Agency (ICRC, the International Red Cross) of their capture.

– Allowed to correspond regularly with relatives and to receive relief parcels.

– Allowed to keep their clothes, feeding utensils and personal effects.

– Supplied with adequate food and clothing.

– Provided with quarters not inferior to those of their captor’s troops.

– Given the medical care their state of health demands.

– Paid for any work they do.

– Repatriated if certified seriously ill or wounded, (but they must not resume active military duties afterwards).

– Quickly released and repatriated when hostilities cease.

In addition, prisoners of war MUST NOT BE:

-Compelled to give any information other than their name, age, rank and service number.

– Deprived of money or valuables without a receipt (and these must be returned at the time of release).

– Given individual privileges other than for reasons of health, sex, age, military rank or professional qualifications.

– Held in close confinement except for breaches of the law, although their liberty can be restricted for security reasons.

– Compelled to do military work, nor work which is dangerous, unhealthy or degrading.

The fourth Geneva Convention is: “Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War”, all individuals “who do not belong to the armed forces, take no part in the hostilities and find themselves in the hands of the Enemy or an Occupying Power”

Protected civilians MUST BE:

– Treated humanely at all times and protected against acts or threats of violence, insults and public curiosity.

– Entitled to respect for their honour, family rights, religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.

– Specially protected, for example in safety zones, if wounded, sick, old, children under 15, expectant mothers or mothers of children under 7.

– Enabled to exchange family news of a personal kind. – Helped to secure news of family members dispersed by the conflict.

– Allowed to practise their religion with ministers of their own faith. Civilians who are interned have the same rights as prisoners of war. They may also ask to have their children interned with them, and wherever possible families should be housed together and provided with the facilities to continue normal family life. Wounded or sick civilians, civilian hospitals and staff, and hospital transport by land, sea or air must be specially respected and may be placed under protection of the red cross/crescent emblem.

Protected civilians MUST NOT BE:

– Discriminated against because of race, religion or political opinion. – Forced to give information.

– Used to shield military operations or make an area immune from military operations.

– Punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. – Women must not be indecently assaulted, raped, or forced into prostitution.

In reference to torture, the Geneva Convention states:

“Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission … causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.

“No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to any unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind.”

“Prisoners of war shall enjoy complete latitude in the exercise of their religious duties, including attendance at the service of their faith, on condition that they comply with the disciplinary routine prescribed by the military authorities.”

“The following acts are and shall remain prohibited … cruel treatment and torture; … Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment; “

“Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory … are prohibited, regardless of their motive.”

(Geneva Convention, 1949)
———————————-

So, this certainly and without a doubt states that torture is specifically not permitted under these conventions. So why is our government and military (and private security forces contracted by the U.S. government) torturing, maiming, raping, humiliating, water-boarding, and mistreating prisoners and civilians and getting away with it? Why hasn’t anyone called foul: a violation of the Geneva Conventions against innocent civilians and prisoners of war?

Quite simply, it’s because no declaration of war was ever legally made. This is key to understanding America’s disposition…

– No declaration of war means there are no official prisoners of war.

– No declaration of war means the Geneva conventions do not apply.

– No declaration of war means that U.S. soldiers can do whatever they please with no repercussions, since the convention that places responsibility for our soldier’s actions onto the state do not apply.

– No declaration of war means that we are occupying another country or “state” against Article 1, Section 8 of the constitution, which states:

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States …To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water… To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years…”

The term “enemy combatants” has replaced the terms “prisoner of war” and “civilians”.

Proof of this fact – that no war has been declared in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc… can be found in the following, which aired on CSPAN in October 2002:

During the October 2nd  and 3rd, 2002 House International Relations Committee hearing on the Iraq resolution, Ron Paul introduced an amendment which actually would have simply and officially declared war against Iraq. The following is that simple amendment, which would have put the United States legally and constitutionally at war and, more importantly, subject to Geneva Convention guarantees and other war crimes documents:

AMENDMENT TO H. J. RES. Ll

To be titled: “Joint Resolution declaring a state of war between the United States and the Government of Iraq

OFFERED BY MR. PAUL

– Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the following: ‘‘That pursuant to article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution, a state of war is declared to exist between the United States and the Government of Iraq and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the United States Armed Forces to carry on war against the Government of Iraq and to bring the conflict to a successful conclusion.”

Mr. Paul also stated earlier of the resolution, as it existed without his amendment:

“We are giving the President the authority to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq. In other words, we are transferring the power to declare war to the President. He can declare the war and fight the war when he pleases. And that is number one. Number two, equal to number one; (the president will) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. In this bill that we are working on, they mention United Nations 32 times — I am sorry, 25 times. They never mention article 1, section 8, once.”

“…No matter what you call it, we are talking about a resolution that permits the President to wage war.” – Ron Paul

The committee put Rep. Paul’s amendment to rest (into the trash) with no dissenting votes, and on the afternoon of 10/03/02, the House International Relations Committee passed this resolution, which gave the president (Bush) the power to send our armies into Iraq without a formal declaration of war by congress, without consideration of the unconstitutional act of preemptively attacking a state or country which poses no imminent threat to the United States according to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, and without the international constraints of the Geneva Convention or any war crimes legislation to restrain our troops from committing heinous acts of torture and violence against innocent woman and children, civilians, Iraqi resistance to foreign invaders, dogs, cats, livestock, or any other living thing in Iraq while “just following orders”.

And now, President Obama has sent troops illegally and unconstitutionally to Pakistan, without an official Congressional declaration of war. He has withdrawn troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and replaced them with even more private security “peace-keepers” like Blackwater (who changed its name to Xe due to such horrible publicity and war crimes charges). And he is about to make the mistake of “preemptively” invading and attempting to occupy Iran, which would be a fatal error in foreign relations considering Iran’s alliance and friendship with both China and Russia.

But then, Obama’s mentor Zbigniew Brzezinski has been after a conflict with Russia since his post as National Security Advisor in the Carter and Reagan administrations.

-Brzezinski advised Carter in 1978 to engage the People’s Republic of China and traveled to Beijing to lay the groundwork for the normalization of relations between the two countries. This also resulted in the severing of ties with the United States’ longtime anti-Communist ally the Republic of China. Also in 1978, Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyła was elected Pope John Paul II—an event which the Soviets believed Brzezinski orchestrated.

In 1979 Brzezinski saw the overthrow of US ally the Shah of Iran, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Iranian Revolution precipitated the Iran hostage crisis, which would last for the rest of Carter’s presidency. Brzezinski anticipated – indeed some some have claimed he even engineered [Matthew Carr, The Infernal Machine: A History of Terrorism from Alexander II to Al-Qaeda, chapter 10.] the Soviet invasion, and, with the support of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the PRC, he created a strategy to undermine the Soviet presence. – [Wikipedia: Zbigniew Brzezinski]

Brzezinski has had his hands in almost all American conflicts and foreign relations, from Red China to Iran Contra to Russia to Afghanistan to Vietnam. In 1981 Brzezinski revealed that he encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot. This was part of a wider policy of forcing the Vietnamese out of Cambodia by funding anti-Vietnamese guerrilla groups that the U.S. helped create. [America Abroad – TIME Magazine]

Understanding that Obama is a student of and was mentored by Zbigniew Brzezinski is imperative to understanding the mentality and intentions of our president and his multitude of not-elected, appointed cabinet members. From Obama’s Chief of Staff – duel Israeli citizen Raum Emanuel, to foreign born Special Adviser Henry Kissinger, these elitist appointees rule our elected officials.

To further decry the importance of the illegality and unconstitutionality of the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan… a memo was given by White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, dated January 25, 2002, urging President George Bush to declare the war in Afghanistan exempt from the Geneva Convention. In the memo, the corrupted White House lawyer referenced the 1996 law passed by Congress known as the “War Crimes Act”, which banned any American from committing war crimes – defined in part as “grave breaches” of the Geneva convention. The memo warns that the law applies to “U.S.  officials” and that punishments for violators “include the death penalty.” (NewsWeek, May 17, 2004)

Shortly after Gonzales’ memo came out, Secretary Powell wrote a dissenting memo arguing that Alberto Gonzales’ attempt to declare the war in Afghanistan exempt from the Geneva convention undermines more than a century of U.S. policy and practice. In that memo, he states:

“It will reverse over a century of U.S. policy and practice in supporting the Geneva conventions and undermine the protections of the law of war for our troops, both in this specific conflict and in general. … It may provoke some individual foreign prosecutors to investigate and prosecute our officials and troops. … We will be challenged in international forums (UN Commission on Human Rights; World Court; etc.).”

On March 19, 2003, despite these warnings by Powell and others, Bush (not Congress) declared a preemptive war in Iraq.

This one act alone – especially since it was proven that no “weapons of mass destruction” were anywhere near Iraq, nor that Iraq had the capability to produce such weapons, nor that Iraq or Sadam Huesain had anything to do with the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers 1, 2, and 7 and the attack on the pentagon – and since Iraq posed no “imminent threat” to the United States, constitutes a “grave breach” of the Geneva Convention, which states:

“Law enforcement officials shall not use firearms against persons except in self-defense or defense of others against the imminent threat of death or serious injury, to prevent the perpetration of a particularly serious crime involving grave threat to life, to arrest a person presenting such a danger and resisting their authority, or to prevent his or her escape, and only when less extreme means are insufficient to achieve these objectives. In any event, intentional lethal use of firearms may only be made when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life.” (United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Fall 1990)

The U.S. Military Code specifies that it is a crime to violate the Geneva convention:

“Whoever, … commits a war crime, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, … and if death results to the victim, shall also be subject to the penalty of death. … Definition: As used in this section the term ‘war crime’ means … a grave breach in any of the international conventions signed at Geneva 12 August 1949 [or acts] prohibited by Article 23, 25, 27, or 28 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, signed 18 October 1907 … ” (Section 2441: U.S. Military Code on War Crimes)

Also, after WWII in 1945, the United States led the formation of the “Nuremberg Principles” which formed the United Nations Charter. This charter binds every country in the world. It defines as a crime:

“Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances…”

For a chronological account of the actions taken by the U.S. Military under the leadership of George W. Bush as Commander-in-Chief which lead to multiple violations of the Geneva convention and U.S. Military Code, please go here: http://impeachforpeace.org/evidence/pages/torture.html

I could go on and on with countless violations of the Geneva Conventions, war crimes, Nuremburg principles, etc… but what would be the point? We are not at war.

This one little fact that has been overlooked and not reported by the media is the key to ushering in peace. Acknowledging it would mean the end of these illegal and unconstitutional occupations of innocent countries, and the unwarranted murder and impoverishing of whole populations. It would mean that torture, outrageous POW camps like Guantanamo Bay, and any other war crimes committed by this administration, our troops and Blackwater thugs overseas, and crimes against Americans themselves would be treated as such and punishable by the Geneva Conventions and other war crimes treatises.

The new president continues to abuse the jargon of the previous administration, calling for a “war on terror”. This is ridiculous, and is about as winnable as a war on mosquitoes. This war on terror can best be described as a never ending, un-winnable war, which will continue to allow the United States and the United Nations to invade and terrorize any country, any home, and even any American who challenges the corporate fascist control of America and abroad.

While we as mindless sheep continue to refer to the events in the middle east as:

the “war in Iraq

thewar in Afghanistan”

the new “war in Pakistan

and the impending “war with Iran” – which will no doubt lead to something akin to awar with the world”…

These politicians and appointed officials are making fortunes for their lobbyists and elitist co-conspirators though the corporations they own, chair, direct, advise, and profit from by awarding no-bid contracts to them in these occupied countries, but only after our military destroys them to create the need for reconstruction.

It is time for the American people to wake up and take responsibility for the war crimes and human rights violations that our government is perpetrating against the people, the families, and the innocents of the Middle-East. This will not stop until they have taken over, through the United Nations, all of the nation-states, not excluding our own. We, as responsible citizens can no longer afford to ignore these crimes. For the only other way that this will stop, is for the citizenry to stand up and say, “NO MORE KILLING”

We must do something now… for the hour is late, and every innocent death is on all of our hands. And they get bloodier by the hour.

Diplomacy and Barack Obama: The Audacity Of The Nobel Prize Committee


Barack Obama and diplomacy do not belong in the same sentence:

He has reinstated the Patriot Acts.

He has invaded Pakistan.

He continues to invade Afghanistan.

He pulled troops out of Iraq… only to replace them with even more private security “police” – a privately funded army.

He is about to make the biggest blunder in history… by attacking Iran.

He allows Israel to continue it’s genocidal violence and stealing of land from the Palestinians by giving billions of tax dollars to Israel.

He refuses to use diplomacy to require Israel to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, while threatening attack against Iran (who is a signatory) for the false propaganda that Iran is in the process of building its first nuke. Israel, meanwhile, has enough warheads to blow up the planet.

He continues to support troops in the streets in America, against the Constitution.

He has helped the United Nations to implement forced abortion policies in Africa.

He has done nothing of any significance at all as President of the United States, except to ruin any modicom of freedom and Constitutional liberty we have left.

So, to the Nobel Prize Foundation, I must ask once again… where do you come up with this stuff?

It’s actions like these that make me hope that there is a God, so that your souls are judged and you burn in condemnation of your treachery and contempt of the human race. That includes you too Obama. For accepting this award is akin to stealing from church, as someone good and deserving will now not recieve recognition for his or her work – not that the Nobel Prize Foundation would ever do anything to promote real diplomacy or peace.

First Al Gore, and now Obama? I am now convinced that this foundation is completely corrupt and should be rejected, boycotted, and made a mockery of.

(See why here: https://realitybloger.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/158/)

Mr. President… your humility only fools the brainwashed idiots who elected you in the first place: who didn’t take the time to research you and your true nature and supporters. You are a travesty to America and the World, and when or if they realize your disgusting nature, I hope the wrath of their anger is felt by you in ways I can’t even begin to describe here.

The Protection Of The Sanctity Of Marriage Act


“The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” is a proposal for a new bill to be voted on as a proposition for future elections in California.

Its basic clause is that divorce be banned from the law books and become illegal. This is to apply to all marriage contracts that are currently legal in California, as well as to all future marriage contracts. There will be a four month grace period before this law takes effect in order to allow for current divorce proceedings to be completed, as well as to allow for people currently in said contracts to opt out of these marriages (to be titled: The Opt-Out Period). This grace period will allow for divorce proceedings until this to-be-determined effective date. However, all divorce cases must be settled in court by this date or: they will become invalid, the marriage contract will remain intact, and the contractually bound “husband and wife” will continue to be happily married until the stated condition of “death” is met by one or more of the married parties in question. This act will also make out-of-state divorces non-recognizable in California, unless the original marriage contract was made in another state. The citizenry of the great state of California should not and will no longer tolerate the “Las Vegas” divorce.

We sincerely hope that this bill will inspire other states in the union to ratify similar laws in order to protect all of our children, and make the act of marriage wholesome once more. We believe that marriage is an act of love, and that love can only be guided through the heart when accompanied through state contract. Marriage is a contractual pledge of eternal love, which cannot and should not be allowed to be relinquished by the state. It is not a choice: It is forever.

Who would support this bill?

  • A. The church – How can the church possibly condone divorce? Marriage is a holy religious tradition with deep roots in the church itself. The ceremony is wrought with scripture and references to God of how the commitment is a holy and sanctimonious bond. For the church to come out in opposition of this act would essentially amount to blasphemy.
  • B. Gay men and women – Simply said, if the act of marriage is so extremely sanctimonious that it was made to exclude a group which is barely even referred to in the bible, then it should be protected against such subservient and deviant laws such as divorce and alimony. Simply put: homosexual couples cannot be married, and so heterosexual couples cannot be divorced. One must ask which if any minority group would fail to see this as a fair and equitable trade-off for the blatant persecution of their individual and group rights?
  • C. Mothers and children – This is really a bill for the children. It would protect and enforce the family structure, making it illegal for the father to leave the mother, therefore permanently preserving the family unit. After all, the vow says “Till death do us part”. No longer will children have to be torn between parents in psychologically damaging custody battles. Children should above all be protected from the horrible ordeal of divorce. Abusive spouses will of course be given the benefit of the doubt. We believe that a good spanking builds character. And a beating is good for the soul. After all, bruises heal eventually… don’t they?
  • D. Fathers – In an unjust court system the father always seems to get stuck with the child support, even if he wants the kids for himself. But he never seems to get custody of the kids. This will no longer be an issue – there will be no more drawn out custody battles. Also since no legal divorce would be allowed, no longer will men be treated as money machines, paying unfairly half of their estate to a woman who really only married him for that money in the first place. Gold-diggers will be a thing of the past. Pre-nuptials will no longer be needed. It’s wonderful, really!
  • E. Immigration – The easiest way for an immigrant to gain citizenship in this country is to get married to an American. Typically, there is a lot of money involved, usually given to the legal citizen. And more often than not there is a divorce proceeding once the minimum period of time by law for that marriage is reached in order to retain citizenship or green card status. “The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” would make Americans think twice about unlawfully marrying for money or citizenship, as the commitment would be binding for the rest of their lives. This would also mean they were responsible for that aliens well being and medical expenses for ever and ever and ever. This might slow or even stop what is actually considered illegal immigration into this country; meaning that getting married solely for the act of obtaining citizenship, and not out of love, is a crime.
  • F. The courts – This bill will potentially eliminate thousands of alimony and divorce cases each and every year, and would clear the courts and give them more time for other important litigation, while saving taxpayers millions of dollars. Just think of all the pending murder, theft, and other important cases that would actually have a speedy trial granted by the courts, as is supposed to be afforded according to the U.S. Constitution. Courts are no place for children. Parents, no matter how overbearing and abusive should certainly have custody of their children no matter what the circumstances.
  • G. Married and single people (everyone) – Essentially, it would be hypocritical for anyone in this country to vote no on this bill. Marriage is a contract which should not be nullified or destroyed simply because two people disagree about a few things or a little blood is spilled. It is a binding contract, meaning two people are bound in love whether they like it or not. They signed a contract! It’s time we bring civics back into this country. Imagine what Mrs. Smith would think of her husband if Mr. Smith voted against this bill… Would that mean that he wants the option of divorce to be on the table? Would it mean he didn’t love her anymore, or planned not to in the future? Could he be thinking of reneging on his part of the contract? You see… there is just no need for a divorce option. The aforementioned four-month grace period would all but take care of any reluctant marriages that exist today. And single (unmarried) people certainly wouldn’t be getting married if they weren’t in love, knowing that divorce is not an option anymore. So divorce would obviously not be needed in the future either.

Who would rightfully oppose this bill?

  • A. Divorce Lawyers.
  • B. Non-U.S. Citizens without voting rights.
  • C. Gold-diggers.
  • D. Con artists.

And so in conclusion, the passing of “The Protection of the Sanctity of Marriage Act” would ensure marriage to be a life-long commitment as it was always meant to be. Monetarily, we’ve shown that the savings would be substantial to the government, the judicial system, and the taxpayers, while only displacing an extremely small minority in the law profession, with the possibility of hurting or canceling some daytime television court shows. The pros far outweigh any cons. Also, we believe that the happiness that mandatory contractual marriage would bring to spouses and their children is incalculable. Happiness by rule of law is surely preferable to the auto determination of individuals being allowed the choice or right to shatter the holy, binding contract of marriage for reasons unworthy of such a separation.

We hope that you will see it in your hearts to make this idea come to fruition, bringing on its tails the love and happiness associated with mandatorily binding marriage. To any who might oppose this bill, we can only assume that your deviance must be far too ingrained into your psyche to possibly be qualified for a state granted marriage license in the first place. We believe that makes you un-American, and that the no-fly and terrorist watch lists should include people like you. We believe that you are purposely looking for love in all the wrong places, and we will not stand for the types of malicious anti-marriage activities listed here: dating, kissing, hand-holding in public, scary movies and chick-flicks, singles bars, dance halls, internet chatting, hay rides, and just plain unlicensed lollygagging.

May we all find it in our hearts to be spouses and parents. Thank you for your support.

Insincerely,

End The Fed Through Organized Graffiti


I was thinking… what is the best way to get the message out to ordinary uninformed people who will never otherwise be exposed to activism and the truth about the federal government and other things that affect everyone in this country? What is the best, most inexpensve advertising media we could use?
I came to only one conclusion…

Since our dollar is worthless paper anyway, what if we all write or get stamps that say something political on our money? If we each say something that will make people who spend these backed-by-nothing fiat currency notes think, maybe it would make them stop and realize what it is they are holding – IOU’s that have no real value unless they are agreed upon as payment for services or products between two people!

Since everyone in America uses these Monopoly Money – Federal Reserve Notes, everybody would be exposed to the reality of this debt cycle we are tyrannically living under. We could place website names exposing the Fed for what it is: an illegitimate, unconstitutional, mafia-like crime syndicate whose time for exposure and ratification has come.

I suppose we should do this before we are forced into a cashless society, eh?

Of course, since the federal government still exercises it’s illegitimate power over the supposed freedom of speech by Americans, we the people should only write or stamp on the perimeter area (white border) of these funny money notes, thus doing no harm to the illuminist artwork they paint these dollars with. If we all (all who know) do this small chore on the money we each use on a daily basis, eventually (statistically) that money will get around to someone who is open enough to investigate the truth. And eventually, it will be hard to spend money that hasn’t been labeled by us.

Repetition would only spark curiosity.

It would be like organized tagging – graffiti with a cause.

It doesn’t matter what you write or stamp, as long as it has to do with exposing the truth. If it is your own website which explains the truth and exposes corruption, and it gets more hits because of it – so be it. This is not for profit, but for exposure.

Here are some ideas for short but sweet things we could write or stamp on these bills:

(Disclaimer: These are all just ideas, and I of course would never condone such things.)

Don’t Rock The Vote – Boycott It!


The most detrimental psy-op (physiological operation) perpetrated on the American people is this:

  • that they only fight tyranny through peaceful means, and-
  • that they must fight within the constraints of the law – the very laws, in fact, that the tyrannical and corrupt ones we are fighting against legislate, and once passed, work completely outside of and unrestricted by the very laws they set into place.

The truth is that “calling and writing” your congress and senate is useless, as they are bought and paid for by the same elites who have already ruined this country, and assigned the real power of it over to the United Nations.

The reality is, all of your emails take up no space; only virtual space. And they are filed and discarded with the simple ease of the stroke of a key and the click of the mouse.

You must understand that, once elected, the president appoints elites who funded or are funded by other more powerful elites into positions of power. Chief of Staff, Secretaries of Defense, Treasury, Education, and State, Foreign Affairs Officials, Ambassadors, Judges, Tsars, and even the CEO of PBS! Hundreds of appointed officials. When you elect one man as president, you get instead a whole plethora of corrupt men and women who control the country. The few choices you see in elections are the puppets that the men with real power choose for you.

This is why people like me stopped calling, and for that matter voting for our supposedly elected officials (through electronic voting machines which have been proven to be easily hacked, and vote tallies changed easily) – who then appoint unelected elitists into power once they themselves are elected fraudulently.

This is why I cringe at activist groups who don’t understand that the only way to take back what is rightfully the peoples land and property must be by the same actions that it was won by in the first place. When you begin to understand this, then we may actually have a chance to overcome what can only be called true evil.

Now stop voting damn it!

And if you do vote, remember that you are the one that is legitimizing a corrupt system and keeping it in place through your foolish actions with a false sense of freedom and democracy, in what is, according to the Constitution, supposed to be a republic. And quit blaming the people who don’t vote for the problems of this country, for we didn’t cast an uneducated vote on a fraudulent ballot to usher in 4 more years of the same old crap by the best looking or most popular candidate! If you want to vote, go watch American Idol!

I am calling for a boycott of the voting system. This revolutionary form of dissent is the one and only thing that can make illegitimate the elitist agendas that these men in power are forcing upon us all. By voting for Obama or any other Democrats or Republicans (save a very minute select few), you are voting for everyone he puts into power as well, and everyone who funded his campaign – including the banks that received all of that bail-out money that is bankrupting for the third time in history this great country of ours, this time with no way out.

If everyone boycotted the elections and didn’t vote, it would frighten the ruling elite to the extreme. They would then either have to change their ways, or knowing that their time was coming to an end, get out while the getting is good. An elected official, who is brought into power by only 2% of the American people at the voting booth, would indeed have no justification to accept that political position with any modicum of honor, and his actions would be illegitimate in lieu of his lack of support. But if we keep voting for these crooks, they have that justification. And they will continue to strip away our rights and our Constitution, and pass horrendously tyrannical bills like the Patriot Act and the new Health Care Reform bill, which will kill half of our Bill of rights.

So, let me know when a sufficient number of you face reality and are ready to fight for your rights, instead of hiding behind phones, computer screens, and homemade signs in designated free-speech zones.

I once again leave you with historical quotes from past patriots, leaders, elected officials, appointed officials, and dictators:

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” – Joseph Stalin

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” – Lysander Spooner

Not as tyrants have we come, but as liberators.” – Adolph Hitler

We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” – Dick Cheney

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.” – Carroll Quigley

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” – Noam Chomsky

There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties.” – George Wallace – Governor of Alabama and 1968 Republican Presidential candidate

Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.” – Herbert Marcuse

Only fools mistake politicians for messiahs.” – Kevin Barrett

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.” – Gore Vidal

The governments of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which….pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.” – British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” – Voltaire

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” – Sinclair Lewis

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.” – Aristotle

No protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country.” – Alexis de Tocqueville

No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” – James Madison

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.” – Julius Caesar

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – H. L. Mencken

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.” – Adolph Hitler

Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” – Hermann Goerring

The easiest way to gain control of the population is to carry out acts of terror. The public will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened.” – Joseph Stalin

The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear and a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.” – Douglas MacArthur

Powerful dictatorships that make their leaders powerful need to stage wars to get ordinary people to march in lockstep like mindless Nazi robots. That is the road to Greatness.” – Michael Ledeen, Special Advisor to Reagan’s Secretary of State Alexander Haig

Paradoxically, preserving liberty may require the rule of a single leader—a dictator—willing to use those dreaded ‘extraordinary measures, which few know how, or are willing, to employ.’” – Michael Ledeen

We need a common enemy to unite us.” – Condoleezza Rice, 2000

We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” – David Rockefeller

It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event.” – General Tommy Franks 2003

The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaeda. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity…. The country behind this propaganda is the US.” – Robin Cook – Former British Foreign Secretary

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” – James Madison

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home.” – James Madison

A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.” – James Madison

There are now 17,000 local American police forces that are armed with rocket launchers, bazookas, heavy machine guns, all kinds of chemical sprays, in fact some of them have tanks. You now have local police departments that are equipped beyond the standard of American heavy infantry.” – Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during Reagan Administration

“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.” – FA Hayek

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Author Unknown

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other—instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.” – Edward Abbey

War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.” – Ron Paul

America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad. If we want to be worthy of their legacy, we must resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our society. Otherwise, our own government will become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist.” – Ron Paul

If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” – Gutle Schnaper, wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” – George Washington

Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbors those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.” – Dick Cheney

War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.” – Ron Paul

In Haig’s presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as ‘dumb, stupid animals to be used’ as pawns for foreign policy.” – Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein in their book The Final Days

I will begin to remove our troops from Iraq immediately.” – Barack Obama – Promise made during 2008 campaign speech

As far as President Obama – an old saying comes to mind of which I don’t know the coiner – “If you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig!

The California Water Museum – Featuring The Fluoride Deception


As I was moving out of state in July of 2009, I was driving up Interstate 5’s long uphill grade where I saw an exit and a sign saying “Pyramid Lake”. It was the middle of summer and extremely hot. Since I was in an exploratory mood with nothing but time on my hands, I decided to exit the highway and see the lake. It turned out to be a rather large reservoir that feeds the Los Angeles area. A sign pointed to a visitor’s center and I parked there. Nice view… I walked in to the center to find out about camping around the lake, and was surprised to see that the building housed what was a water themed museum. I approached the guard at the information desk and he gave me an information sheet and directions to the lake’s campground.

Out of curiosity I looked around the museum, corny as it was. For the most part, it was an exhibit explaining to me the amount of water and energy it takes to do just about everything I do in my everyday life; even how much water I waste by filling up my gas tank up with petrol. I was not amused. The atmosphere was what you might call liberal… and by liberal I mean full of propaganda and half-truths that are designed to make its visitors feel guilty for being alive and to accept the fact that water is being used for political gain and prophet through taxation at their expense… and of course that this is a good thing for the environment. The placards and hands-on installations displayed to me in horrifying illustrative and picture oriented detail (perhaps taking into consideration the high illiteracy rate in the country) how the water supply is in crisis. I was sure that none of the museums’ visitors actually stop to think about the government and its lobbying corporate partners in crime (which stand to reap huge rewards from this tyrannical water rationing and taxation) and how they created this water crisis for their monetary gains. War, war on drugs, war on terror, war on poverty, war on water… What’s next, a war on war?

What I did learn is that most of the water that flows to southern California which does not come from the Colorado River actually comes from the northern most mountainous areas of the state. It is redirected through an aqueduct system down through the whole of California. Since most of its population lives on or near the ocean line, the water is diverted to all of those cities. It is passed on to farms and ranches and smaller cities that pay for this state contracted water delivery service as well. Without this aqueduct system, Los Angeles and the rest of the cities and farmlands that are, for all intents and purposes part of the desert, would not be able to exist. It’s a fascinating accomplishment… a true story of man -vs- nature, where man doesn’t understand the impact on nature until it’s too late. Dams be damned, I say.

As I finished walking through the adult oriented yet child-like museum, I walked to the front doors preparing to leave, feeling a bit yucky. To the right of the glass doors was a display case showing other parks where I might be able to camp. I grabbed a few of the brochures and then noticed a poorly photocopied, double-sided blue sheet of paper in the corner of the display. The title had my name all over it:

Fluoridation… At A Glance.

Underneath the title was a black and white picture of several small children drinking water from a public drinking fountain. This disturbed me, as children are a tool often used in politics and advertising, usually in a deceiving way. Under that heartwarming picture was a list of the dental benefits of fluoride, as well as a quote by the U.S. Surgeon General, which stated that:

“Community water fluoridation continues to be the most cost-effective, practical and safe means for reducing and controlling the occurrence of tooth decay in a community.”

What a dick! How does he sleep at night? Does he let his children drink this rat poison?

In the ‘About Fluoride’ section, it deceivingly stated:

“Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in surface water (water from snowmelt, rivers, and streams) as well as ground water.”

It also had this bit of info, which was another affront to my senses:

“Fluoride helps teeth resist decay by strengthening the protective layer of tooth enamel, and can reverse newly formed cavities.”

What a crap basket! From what information I’ve read, the stuff causes bone density loss and osteoporosis. And since teeth are essentially bones…

More disturbing was the next statement that:

“Of the 50 largest cities in the United States 43 fluoridate their drinking water.”

Now… at the bottom of the page, still in the ‘About Fluoride’ section, were these two paragraphs:

“While exposure to fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, most cases in communities with optimally fluoridated water are very mild and characterized by barely visible white opaque spots on the teeth.”

“The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has not recognized claims that low-level fluoride exposure is linked to occurrences ——“

—– At that point the page was cut off! Was this an innocent mistake? I wonder. I’m guessing no. But it’s possible. I guess thinking that this was not deliberate would be called… hope.

I stood there for a moment, battling a flush of political correctness, not wanting to disturb the museum’s natural flow (pun intended). But lately, causing a scene has become my favorite pastime. I did a 180 and headed back towards the information desk. An official tour guide for the center was talking to a nice lady in her very late 50’s (maybe that’s being nice) who at one time, judging by her appearance and demeanor, must have been related to the peace and love movement. She was simply delighted at what the federally employed man was saying, and was listening intently. He (the tour guide) was a bit creepy, confident in a way that only the most ignorant and misinformed of people could be, and as unhealthy looking as most Americans appear to be these days.

I listened from across the desk patiently as he pointed to a map of California and explained how it all worked. He told the woman about water rationing and how only certain cities were actually metered, demonizing the bad people of these water suckling metropolis’. She smiled and chastised out loud that whole horrid Southern California populace, as if their use of water was less justified than hers, considering the equivalent source.

At one point, after a 5-minute history of metering in certain counties, she said intently, “I think everybody should be metered.” He smiled malevolently. It was like watching a salesman fish in a buyer, playing off of her insecurities and lack of knowledge. I just shook my head in disgust for most of the conversation, but respectfully refrained from interrupting.

The creepy guide went on… “Well, (pause for grin) soon all houses will have a meter which can be read digitally from the central station, and shut off if too much water is being used.”

At hearing this, her reply was just short of exuberance. “Oh, that’s just wonderful! There are so many wasteful people out there.”

Now, at this point I had to interrupt. I now understand what Alex Jones (infowars.com) means when he goes on one of his rants about people and how they love their tyranny, carbon taxes, and debt slavery. And also, I must give credit to Aldus Huxley for predicting many decades ago that people could eventually be made to love their servitude. She was truly exited to give up her rights. It all made sense to her in a simple way…

“Wait a minute,” I said in a slightly confrontational voice. “That’s tyranny! Surely you can’t want to be metered and taxed for your right to use water” She looked at me then, confused, possibly only noticing me for the first time. I looked at the tour guide then, and the smile slowly went away from the pushers face.

Silence…

I can really kill a room!

I asked them both if they had heard of the bill in congress that would give control of all water rights in the entire country to the Federal Government – (S. 787 – Clean Water Restoration Act). More blank stares and a cringe of hostility in the tour guide. I directed a short tirade of information towards the woman, who had a sudden look of something I couldn’t quite place, but which I guessed was the first time in a long time that she had thought for herself, outside the media box. It was an expression of the sudden responsibility of ones self, and of brief enlightenment that usually comes and goes quickly with these green, well intentioned, but ultimately brain-washed cult-environmentalist people.

By then, the salesman knew he was losing her, as if an invisible umbilical chord had been cut, and so I turned my attention to him.

“I’d like to ask a question about the Fluoridation of the water supply.” I said. He looked harshly at me, perhaps disturbed that one of the visitors to his place of worship should question the religion of water fluoridation treatment. But somehow, I don’t think I was the first to ask.

He said ‘ok’ in a regrettable way. The slave-lady was still listening, a confused look on her face. She probably thought I was a nut! I gave the brochure to her so she could follow along.

“Tell me this…” I said. “If fluoride is good for my teeth, why then is it put into the water supply to be swallowed and ingested? I mean, Fluoride is one of the most poisonous substances known to man. It’s in rat poison, and it’s the by-product of the aluminum industry. So why do we drink something that’s actually only supposed to be good for our teeth?”

His eyes visibly widened, and he paused a second before letting out a big guffaw. He laughed nervously and tried to regain his composure.

His response… “Well, everything is bad for you if you use too much of it.”

I eyed him with my bullshit meter, not knowing exactly where this was going. “Go on…” I invited.

“Look, if you drink too much water you can drown yourself. So you could say that water is bad for you just like fluoride—“

“What?” I interrupted, angered at his treating me like his usual dumbed down hive-minded idiots. “That’s the most ridiculous association I’ve ever heard! Fluoride was used in concentration camps to make prisoners compliant and calm. What does that have to do with moderation? Why are so many U.S. cities passing legislation against water fluoridation?

Why did most of Europe abolish the use of fluoride in their water supply?”

At this point, the wild-eyed green lady walked away with brochure in hand. She was not ready for this kind of antagonism towards her social religion. But I did hope that she was curious enough to at least look into the other side of the story, and not just trust that her government was doing what’s best for her and her family. She didn’t say thank you… or goodbye.

After about ten minutes of bantering with the tour guide, his sole defense being the fact that I could drink too much water and die (or anything else for that matter) and that science had proven the benefits of fluoride for teeth (guffaw), he was not quite able to grasp the fact that ingestion is quite different than application, and that the warnings on toothpaste tubes that say ‘DO NOT SWALLOW’ are there for a reason, and that no dentist in his right mind would drink even a quarter of a thimble full of pure fluoride.
I wrote down a movie title on a piece of paper. It was “The Fluoride Deception’, a very damning explanation of the fluoride industry and it’s damaging effects on everything it touches. I asked him to watch it some time. He said he’d think about it.

I asked him to watch it on the computer behind him. He refused, sighting work regulations and rules.

I suggested he watch it on his break, since it was only a half an hour long. He was visibly red in the face by then, and said something unintelligible about the restrictions with that computers bandwidth.

I asked him if he would actually watch it later, and he answered ‘If I have time’.

I smiled wryly, and asked him to promise me that he’d watch it later. He then got mad, and gave me excuses why he wouldn’t be able to watch it, none that were legitimate.

My final comments were that he couldn’t do his job correctly without knowing all of the information available, and that he was doing a disservice to his visitors by not looking into fluoride. Short of getting on my knees, I actually begged him to watch it. He made it clear then that we would never see eye to eye and that I should be on my way. Feeling suddenly unwelcome in this house of worship, I pleaded for him to watch it as I walked out the door and to my truck.

What a shill.

Interestingly though, during our banter he did give me a card with the person in charge of such things and asked me to send her the information. Of course when I asked if they would post it for people to read, he lied through his fluorosis stained teeth and gave me an unconvincing and pacifying ‘maybe’.

I sent her an email with the movie link and a few questions, but received no reply.

Some day, I hope to get back to Southern California and actually hand the center a stack of homemade brochures which state all of the facts about fluoride, where it comes from, and who actually approved it’s use for human consumption.

Perhaps I could call it: “Fluoride… More Than a Glance.

If you’d like to know more about fluoride and its effects on your body and mental health functions, click here and watch “The Fluoride Deception”.

Authors note: Most bottled water is bottled from public water sources, which are pre-fluoridated before these water companies ever get their hands on it. The filtration methods these companies use are not sufficient to get this toxin out of the water before it is bottled. Some even add fluoride after filtration for “health reasons”. Spring water is from about as fresh of a source as your toilet bowl – and you thought your dog had bad taste! Most of the bottled water brands were created or bought by big corporations, and labeled in a way to fool you into thinking they are independent companies. Many have been sued and lost, forcing them to label the true water source. Some end up in discount stores or the dollar stores and are there for a reason… buy these at your peril. Don’t be a sheep. Read the labels. Look at the source. Buy responsibly.

The following is a list of some of the more popular bottled water brands, and the mega-corporations who produce them:

Arrowhead – The Nestle’ Corporation

Poland Spring – The Nestle’ Corporation

Derivatives and Leverages and Bubbles, Oh My!


Perhaps you have questions on what these financial tools are and how they caused the many “crisis” which plague the world’s economies and ours. I did too. Now I have some answers… but you might not like them.

————————————————————————————————————

Q. What is a derivative?

A. A derivative is a word that describes a root word, such as sub in submarine. ‘Sub’ is the root word and ‘sub-marine’ is the derivative. A derivative is like a leech, it can’t exist without a host.

So, a sub-prime real estate loan is the derivative form of a real estate loan.

In general, a derivative is not a real asset. Examples of real assets are: stocks, bonds, cash, and real estate. A derivative, as its name suggests, is a financial tool that only attains value through the value of something else. It’s a speculation on future values. In other words, derivatives are a kind of side bet on whether or not real assets will be worth more in the future than at their current value. If you lose money on a derivative bet, someone else generally gains – since they bet the opposite of you. If the government loses this bet, the taxpayers ultimately pay the difference. This is the shell game constantly being played by our financial leaders, with no regulation and no actual real assets to back these bets up. In other words, when the government loses this future derivative bet, they just ask the Federal Reserve Bank to print up more worthless paper money (done digitally) of which the debt burden of this ‘Monopoly Money” gets passed on to the taxpayer (who pay for the principle and interest of the losses). And the game continues, on and on and on…

Example: If the United States agrees to pay $60 per barrel of oil in 6 months time with Saudi Arabia, no matter what the actual price will be in 6 months time, there are three possibilities with regards to profit and loss for this future value bet:

  • The current price in 6 months equals $60. Neither country profits or looses money.
  • The current price in 6 months goes up to $70. Saudi Arabia looses $10 per barrel.
  • The current price in 6 months goes down to $50. The United States looses $10 per barrel.

I read somewhere that the value of these derivatives are on average three times the actual value of the assets they are predicated upon. This means that two-thirds the value of a derivative is pure speculation. Therefore, coffee futures are three times the value of the underlying coffee, being a projection (or prediction) of the coffee’s future value. The inherent problem with this is that values don’t always go up, so huge or total losses can easily take place in betting on future derivatives prices.
In general, derivatives are not part of the GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, since they cannot be accounted for until a future date. Thus, losses and gains can be hidden from the public until the next financial earnings report the following quarter or year.

Derivatives losses, since they can be written off (to taxpayers) and since these bankers have virtually unlimited reserve monies to play with, are what has caused the so-called “financial crisis”. The bundling of these derivative sub-prime mortgages into AAA rated stocks (different parts of many different real estate loans get bundled together on paper to equal one stock or asset) was a dirty trick played on all of us, as the bankers ultimately knew that these derivative sub-prime real estate loans would by necessity be defaulted on, since the payments for these loans would eventually exceed the income of the borrowers as the interest rates jumped according to the sub-prime contracts, and the falsely propped up prices in the real estate markets had to drop (or correct themselves) back to somewhat realistic values, meaning that the loans would be more than the actual property is worth.

Deregulation of the banking industry and the letting go of these regulators – persons whose job it was to ensure these types of loans could not be given to people who could not afford them – was one root cause of this planned fiasco. There were no accidents here. This was a premeditated attack on the dollar and the economy of the United States. For while these banks and the large corporate sponsors of these derivatives get “bailed out” by our president and legislature (who receives funding and kickbacks through lobby’s and future contracts, stock options, and future appointments (jobs) with said corporations) – or more accurately by the taxpayers and the future generations who will pay for these bailouts – the taxpayers get no such recompense.

The fact that all home mortgages in the United States could have been paid off for much less than the amount of money that was given in the form of “bailouts” to mortgage companies, much of which went to foreign banks, is the ultimate sign that our country is being run by the most heinously corrupt clan of conspirators in history, and will very likely be the downfall of our beloved country.

Guess who the largest contributors to the Obama campaign were?

You guessed it… the banks that received the “bailouts”.

————————————————————————————————————

Q. What is a bubble?

A. A bubble is when prices of real assets or derivatives are severely over priced or artificially inflated, meaning that the actual value is much less than the current prices. This is usually caused by fictitious hype about a market or product, its location, its future worth, and other false predictive values. In other words, the government, corporations, banks, or brokers lie about their assets’ value in order to reap profits on unsuspecting investors.

In the real estate market, this means the price of the homes in an area are too high, with nothing real to back up their value. A house in Los Angeles that costs $1.2 million might sell for $120,000 in Idaho. But a simple overdue 8.0 earthquake would remedy that discrepancy in the blink of an eye. A castle set on 100 acres of land in Utah might be worth the same as a small 1-bedroom apartment in Manhattan overlooking Central Park. Pray for no earthquakes or typhoons here!

With the dot-com bubble, it meant that speculation on the future value of these virtual businesses were eventually shown to be false, and that the stock prices dropped or “corrected” themselves to the actual value – or just failed altogether. Though stupendous profits can be made on the way up, most investors will always eventually lose the game as the price drops below what was paid for the asset at its peak performance. Thus, the “bubble” is said to be deflated, or popped.

Again, there is nothing accidental about this type of market fluctuation and correction. The Federal Reserve and their partner banks and corporations with help from the misleading media are always in control of inflation and deflation, supply and demand. The knowledge of these types of bubbles and how and when they will pop is not an unknown entity. Nothing happens by accident in the stock market or the futures markets.

Bubbles are blown up and snuffed by these bankers, usually after they abandon their market shares.

————————————————————————————————————

Q. What does it mean to leverage something?

A. To leverage something (like money) you would basically be borrowing something in the hopes or expectation of making more of that thing in the future. In the case of money, you would take on debt by borrowing money at interest and then using that money, say in the stock market, to purchase assets (stocks). If the stock goes up in value more than the interest you must pay on the original debt, you have leveraged that money to make a profit.

Even more simple to understand: if you could borrow the same money at 5% interest and then invest that money in a bond or CD (basically a virtually no risk investment – you hope.) which would return 10% guaranteed, you are leveraging that debt and making 5% profit without even making an effort.

So, let’s take a look at how banks leverage your money – the money you stow away in your savings account for a rainy day:

Let’s say every month you put $100 into you’re savings account, and are being paid 5% interest on your money (peanuts, really).

How can the bank afford to do that?Well, the bank takes you’re money and will invest it in loans, credit, funds, or other riskier and higher yield investments. Let’s say that bank makes an average of a 15% return on yours and everyone else’s savings account money before it pays all of you your share (5%). Well, the bank has just borrowed (leveraged) your money in order to make 10% profits on your money. So while you feel like you are getting a fair but quite meager return on your so-called “safe” investment (your stagnant savings account), the bank is actually risking your money to make money of its own, and letting you have a small portion as an incentive to keep saving – depositing more money into your account for the bank to leverage. This is why they can pay you that measly 5% interest.

And, this is why I despise the banking industry!

These bankers are really making money off of your unwillingness to take a risk with your own hard-earned money. Of course, they reinforce this fear and make the whole system as confusing as possible through red tape, fine print, and the media so that you are kept in the dark about this process.

The expression “Time is money” is the most true statement ever made in the financial world. And so, if you can leverage your time, making money while you sleep, then you are way ahead of the game.

A business owner who hires workers to produce goods, which will in turn make more money for the owner, is leveraging his time. Throw in a manager who runs the shop for even more leverage. He pays a percentage of the profits of these products to the workers and to the manager, while he can be doing other things… like setting up another business with the profits from the first (leveraging the initial leveraged money), or sipping a cocktail at the beach (making money while he sleeps). If this operation runs smoothly, his time is leveraged 100% since he never even needs to set foot in his shop. The same could be done on the Internet, where manufacturing, sales, and shipping are all done virtually from home – or are leveraged through an Internet company. This leveraging of time is the most important lesson in business you can learn. Without it, we’d have nothing but the working class.

Now we come once again to the government…

These guys leverage huge amounts of money, and the only risk is to the taxpayer. We as taxpayers are easily trained to just keep paying our illegitimate taxes. And if the money is lost, they just ask the Fed to print up some more out of thin air… but we have to pay the bill. The taxpayers are somewhat like the aforementioned workers in this respect, which keep on working to pay for, or leverage the governments gambling habit. We as citizens are all leveraged as collateral since we keep producing revenue in the form of taxes, and since we pay for the interest attached to the new money that is printed up by the Federal Reserve when the bets are lost. In other words, we pay triple taxes: once for the original investment, once again for new printed money to cover in bad investment (which makes someone a profit since that money doesn’t just disappear), and once again over time for interest owed on both sets of monies. Profits however, never seem to get redistributed to the real investors: the people of the United States who pay their taxes under a false sense of duty, never even realizing that any of these taxes (especially the income tax) goes towards the services they would expect them to, and instead goes almost exclusively to pay off the national debt (to the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a group of private international bankers that operate above the law and completely outside of the control of our government, the president, the legislature, and the taxpayers who supply it).

And so this is how your government operates: controlled by the bankers who lend it money at interest.

Bonus Q. What is Zionism?

A. Zionists are the bad guys of the Jewish community. They are Jews who occupy and support the “State of Israel” and who commit heinous human rights violations and crimes against Palestine. They are in the middle of a genocidal campaign against the Palestinians who rightfully live on the land the Zionist Jews are incrementally stealing from them with the support of the United States government, and have been for many years since the inception of the State of Israel. Zionists are the group of Jews who tried to destroy the economy of Germany in the 1930’s by attempting a boycott of the entire countries exports. Zionists allowed and even encouraged the Orthodox Jews be persecuted in their place during WW2. Zionists lie about the supposed 6.5 million Jews who were killed in concentration camps at the hands of the Nazis, even though there weren’t that many Jews around to kill. And Zionists are the ones, along with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) who will call me an anti-Semite for daring to tell the truth here. Many have died trying to do this. The main difference between Orthodox Jews and the Zionist Jews is simple: Orthodox Jews follow and believe in God, while the Zionist Jews have a distaste for this religion and its God. Zionism equals Godlessness according to the Orthodox Jews. Some Zionists have even admitted that Lucifer is their God (though they died quickly after). For more information on Zionism, one should read the ‘Protocols of Zion’ and the ‘Babylonian Talmud’, which essentially lays out their plans to take over America and the world. No, seriously! Though it sounds crazy, it’s not a joke when people say (Zionist) Jews own Hollywood, the banking industry, the Federal Reserve, etc… they aren’t kidding. You must understand the control this small group has over the American economy and its presidents, its legislature, and even over the Christian community to fully understand the trouble we are in as a nation and how this group has been subverting ours and other cultures for so many years. (SEE: Christians United For Israel – CUFI.com). Billions and billions of our tax dollars are given to Israel each year. Though they are armed with nuclear weapons, they are the only country not signed on to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, even as we chastise Iran for this. Iran has no weapons with nuclear capabilities of course, and incidentally they are the sworn enemy of Israel and the Zionist Jews. We (America) sell them weapons and aircraft… new, deadly aircraft. These are the planes, illegal bombs, and weapons that kill the Palestinians, and that they threaten Iran with and to “take the whole world down with them”. Without this massive funding by America, the state of Israel would not exist. When the Israeli flag is displayed next to the American flag in the Oval Office, and the president’s chief of staff is a duel Israeli-American citizen whose father is linked to real foreign Israeli terrorist groups, you surely must recognize that something sinister is going on here. They are the great deceivers. This transcends bigotry. There is no prejudice or so-called anti-Semitism in this rant. If you had asked me ‘what is a tick?’, I would have had the same repulsion to that blood-sucking insect which attaches on and won’t let go as I now do towards this extreme manipulative group; who again are not to be confused with the majority of good Orthodox Jews. They are not the same, at all, in the least! Zionists are the bankers! Zionists are the destroyers of our country. Learn the truth before it’s too late…

Here is a good documentary, which explains this situation very well. Watch if you dare… for when you see the influence these Zionists have over American politics and foreign affairs it will shock the hell out of you, even as you watch every elected acting president we’ve had in the last 20 years wearing a little Jewish hat while praying at the Wailing Wall:
