California Government Hides Billions From Taxpayers


————-

The Big Lie

Over the past weekend, Gov. Jerry Brown of California took to the safety of YouTube to reveal that the Golden State’s budget deficit is now $15.7 billion, far greater than the original $9.2 billion estimate in January. (CNN, May 15, 2012)

————-

The Simple Truth

The State Government of California has $100’s of billions in liquid investments and assets, could easily pay off all of its debt tomorrow, and would have $100’s of billions left over.

————-

What if I could show you over $577 billion in investment fund balances that aren’t being reported by the California State Government on its budget report?

Well that is what I’m about to do…

In this article we will once again show the purposeful omission of massive amounts of wealth by your government. If you live in California, this may well be the most important thing that you read this year. If you live elsewhere… rest assured that the same holds true in your State, County, Municipality, School and other districts.

In what can only be called a recently government produced propaganda video, California Governor Jerry Brown is addressing and purposefully lying to the people of California, where he nicely threatens to cut school funding by multiple billions if the people of the State do not vote in favor of his new budget plan:

“Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2012-13 budget would slash $5.2 billion in public school funding if voters reject the tax increases he is trying to put on the November ballot…”

(Source) http://www.scpr.org/news/2012/01/05/30670/gov-jerry-browns-budget-be-released-early-after-it/

So… is California in such a financial deficit, as the Governor and his proposed and revised budget plan so matter-of-factly states?

This is the question that we will be answering today. But in order to answer this question, we must go to the true source of financial auditing for government, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This report – the full accounting of government and its investments – is virtually never spoken of publicly. It is not mentioned on the nightly news. And it is not referred to when addressing the people about taxpayer issues and budgetary considerations and shortfalls. In short, this CAFR report is the Holy Grail of government accounting; very difficult to read and comprehend, and worse of all… it is hidden in plain sight.

Here is a link for the 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the State government (corporation) of California – a 300 page, independently audited report required by federal law, and which will be the subject of the following information.

LINK–> http://www.sco.ca.gov/Files-ARD/CAFR/cafr11web.pdf

And for previous years back through fiscal year 1999:

LINK–> http://www.sco.ca.gov/ard_state_cafr.html

Now, the first thing that must be understood is the difference between the partial “budget report” as referred to above by the Governor, and that of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report – which is the full audit of the California government. The following paragraph is taken directly from the 2011 CAFR report, and explains this difference quite succinctly…

On page 200, the 2011 California State CAFR explains the following (emphasis mine):

“On a budgetary basis, the State’s funds are classified as either governmental cost funds or nongovernmental cost funds. The governmental cost funds include the General Fund, most of the funds that comprise the Transportation Fund, and many other funds that make up the nonmajor governmental funds reported in these financial statements. Governmental cost funds derive their revenue from taxes, licenses, and fees that support the general operations of the State. The appropriations of the budgetary basis governmental cost funds form the annual appropriated budget of the State.

Nongovernmental cost funds consist of funds that derive their receipts from sources other than general and special taxes, licenses, fees, or state revenues and mainly represent the proprietary and fiduciary funds reported in these financial statements. Expenditures of these funds do not represent a cost of government and most of the nongovernmental cost funds are not included in the annual appropriated budget…”

And so we can see that governments participate in many business activities; and we must first and foremost understand that a large portion of liquid investment assets are held within what the government calls “non-governmental” activities, including “Enterprise Operations”. These investment assets are usually kept in what are called “Investment Funds”.

But government is only obligated (by its own law) to report what it refers to as “governmental” or “taxpayer” activities to the citizenry on its “Budget/Appropriations Report”. Tax in… Tax out…

In short, the Governor of the great corporate State of California is lying to his taxpayers through the act of omission of these CAFR facts, by only referring to a hand selected portion of that CAFR, which is called the State’s annual budget report. While this should be tried as perjury, the laws of the State/Federal government protect him from this ever happening.

To help in your understanding, let’s say that you were to have a checking account with $1,000 and a savings account with $10,000 in two different banks, and that you only reported to the government that you had $1,000 dollars as your net worth because you don’t want to use your savings account to pay bills (taxpayer obligations) to government. You’d be audited and put in a federal debtor’s prison. But for government, the simple designation of “non-governmental” or “non-taxpayer” income and investment returns allows them to hide all of this wealth from the people and the “Budget Report”, while never mentioning the funds and wealth in the CAFR report. The only difference is that government does this legally – because government makes its own laws!

Why do they do this?

The answer is simple, really… TO JUSTIFY THE CONTINUATION OF, THE RAISING OF, AND CREATION OF NEW TAXES!!!

Taxation is nothing more than revenue generation. And much of that taxpayer money ends up in non-governmental corporations and investment funds.

Think of a manager of any department in any private corporation whom, at the end of the fiscal year has $10,000 dollars left over in his expense account. If he doesn’t spend that money, he will be appropriated $10,000 less for his budget in that next fiscal year because he was given too much for the current year. So he purchases extra supplies his department doesn’t need and maybe even spends $1,000 extra so that he gets even more money appropriated for the next year. As long as government shows a budget report to the people (taxpayers) that excludes many of its assets because they are non-governmental (non-taxpayer obligated) assets, it can continue each year to claim the need for more taxation and more debt because it is funneling so much money into these nongovernmental investment funds.

Here is a list of ending balances of all of the governmental and nongovernmental “Investment Funds” that the California State Government was holding onto for the year 2011:

Nonmajor governmental funds account for the State’s tax-supported activities that do not meet the criteria of a major governmental fund. Following are brief descriptions of nonmajor governmental funds.

The California Government also has what it refers to as “Related Organizations”, of which it does not report fund balances in its CAFR:

From the “Notes To Financial Statements” section (Page 63):

5. Related Organizations

A related organization is an organization for which a primary government is accountable because that government appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing board, but for which it is not financially accountable (in the CAFR).

“Chapter 854 of the Statutes of 1996 created an Independent System Operator, a state-chartered, nonprofit market institution. The Independent System Operator provides centralized control of the statewide electrical transmission grid to ensure the efficient use and reliable operation of the transmission system. The Independent System Operator is governed by a five-member board, the members of which are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making the initial oversight board appointments. Because the primary government is not financially accountable for the Independent System Operator, the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report.”

Independent System Operator – Total Assets (as of Feb, 2012) = $875,764,000

California Earthquake Authority (CEA), “a legally separate organization, offers earthquake insurance for California homeowners, renters, condominium owners, and mobile home owners. A three-member board of state-elected officials governs the CEA. The State’s accountability for this institution does not extend beyond making the appointments. Because the primary government is not financially accountable for the CEA, the financial information of this institution is not included in the financial statements of this report.”

“The CEA is the largest earthquake insurer in California, with over 65% of the residential earthquake insurance market; CEA participating insurers are responsible for almost 80% of California’s residential property insurance.”

“The CEA ended 2010 with 811,317 policies-in-force, which represents a 1.38% increase in policy count compared to year-end 2009.”

“In accordance with California Insurance Code sec. 10089.13, subdivision (b), the California Earthquake Authority reports its finances as of December 31, 2010:

Cash on hand – $96,456,862

Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), “which is not part of the State’s reporting entity, was created by the California Legislature in 1997 to administer a portion of the toll revenues collected from the San Francisco Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges and to have program oversight related to certain bridge construction projects. In 2005, the California Legislature transferred toll-bridge administration responsibility from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to BATA. This responsibility includes consolidation of all toll-bridge revenue under BATA’s administration. BATA is a blended component unit of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.”

Balance Sheet for BATA Governmental Funds (June 30, 2008):

General Fund – $44,583,169

Back to the California State CAFR, Notes to Financial Statements, Page 64:

B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements

Government-wide financial statements (the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) give information on all the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. The primary government is reported separately from legally separate component units for which the State is financially accountable. Within the primary government, the State’s governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from the statements, with the exception of amounts between governmental and business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and transfers.

.

Pension Funds are a special case. It is very important for the reader to understand that the world-wide pension system (including Social Security and Medicare funds) is the government’s main tool to funnel massive amounts of taxpayer money into these investment funds schemes. This is taxpayer money being contributed (given) to these pension funds with no benefit to the majority of the taxpayers in the State (only benefits State employees), and these taxpayer contributions are added on top of what these actual state employees contribute. The employees themselves have no equity in the taxpayer portion of contributions that are given over to the pension funds, and is the property of the government fund – NOT THE EMPLOYEES!!!

According to the chart on page 234 of the California State CAFR, the contributions to these pension funds were as follows:

Total Contributions To All Pension Systems  – $18,723,324,000
Contributions from Employees (Members)    – $6,699,601,000
Contributions from Employers (Taxpayers) – $12,023,723,000

Remember that the so-called budget deficit that was quoted by the Governor for 2012 was only $15.7 billion, revised from $9.2 billion.

And yet here are the taxpayers being forced by law to contribute to this pension investment scheme with no benefit whatsoever to the non-state employed taxpayers.

This means that the 37,691,912 people who lived in California as of July 1, 2011 paid over $12 billion to support only State employees by allowing the California Government to give their taxpayer funded money to the pension fund system. This does not include federal, county, and local contributions of taxpayer money to those other pension systems.

(Page 83) – Schedule of Investments – Fiduciary Funds, as of June 30, 2011

    Investment Type                                   Fair Value      

Equity securities …………………………. $199,780,401,000
Debt securities* …………………………… $91,576,952,000
Mutual funds ……………………………… $10,200,315,000
Real estate …………………………………. $38,232,098,000
Inflation linked …………………………… $8,126,757,000
Insurance contracts ……………………… $1,591,300,000
Private equity …………………………….. $57,537,268,000
Securities lending collateral ………….. $45,620,619,000
Other………………………………………….. $3,822,956,000

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Total investments ……………………. $456,488,666,000
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

But perhaps the hardest thing to contemplate about this Pension System scheme is this (Page 235)…

After all benefits were paid to the employees of these pension funds, the fund’s investment return grew by an astonishing $67,974,593,000 in one year, compared to the 2010 CAFR.

This means that while the governor of California is declaring a deficit over the entire state budget of $15 billion, the State’s pension fund investment schemes in total gained over $67 billion for the same year!

And the Governor says: (que evil laugh) Let’s cut taxpayer services or I’ll cut even MORE funding to schools!!!

.

NOTE 10: LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS (Page 107)

“As of June 30, 2011, the primary government had long-term obligations totaling $163.9 billion. Of that amount, $5.8 billion is due within one year.”

So all it would take to get California out of debt would be $163,900,000,000 ???

That’s it?

You better believe it!!!

But there is one big problem… Government likes debt. Debt is profitable. And so government is in a continuous cycle of borrowing and bonding money… FROM ITSELF!!! One government or fund will loan to another. Government funds makes loans and creates corporate bonds to banks and corporations. The whole shell game is about creating and sustaining debt to ensure future taxation for more investment opportunities in the future. The thought of paying off all debt would be like asking pharmaceutical companies to develop a cure for disease… It ain’t going to happen!!! They’d be out of business if they cured the thing they treat the symptoms of… and so too would a majority government bureaucracy be redundant and unnecessary if government did not promote perpetual debt.

So let’s add up what we’ve found here today, and see if California could pay off its debt tomorrow and never have to issue a taxpayer bond ever again…

From the CAFR above, we had:

TOTAL IN SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS = $20,648,388,000

TOTAL IN DEBT SERVICE FUNDS = $484,712,000

TOTAL IN CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS = $1,589,456,000

TOTAL IN BUILDING AUTHORITY FUNDS = $86,174,000

TOTAL IN INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS = $574,355,000

TOTAL IN ENTERPRISE FUNDS = $3,612,964,000

TOTAL IN PRIVATE PURPOSE TRUST FUNDS = $4,625,181,000

TOTAL IN AGENCY FUNDS = $18,444,563,000

TOTAL IN NONMAJOR COMPONENT UNITS = $2,874,358,000

TOTAL IN MAJOR GOVT FUNDS = $7,888,786,000

TOTAL IN PROPRIETARY FUNDS = $-2,806,744,000 (deficit)

TOTAL IN MAJOR COMPONENT UNIT FUNDS = $91,319,843,000

Of this is listed as “Investments” = $55,000,000,000

INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR (as of Feb, 2012) = $875,764,000

CEA – TOTAL AVAILABLE CAPITAL (after liabilities) = $3,753,367,495

BATA – TOTAL FUND BALANCES = $3,175,070,238

TOTAL PENSION TRUST FUND INVESTMENTS = $456,488,666,000

—————————————————————————————————————-

TOTAL FOR ALL INVESTMENT FUNDS = $577,315,060,000 (approx)

.

And so now you know… the Government is lying to you.

It promotes debt and hides assets.

This should not be construed as the only hidden wealth in the California State government… just the wealth we have uncovered today.

And you must understand that this is only the State government’s CAFR. Each County, city, district, and other local governments and pension funds have their own CAFR’s with their own funds and hidden wealth – hidden in plain sight. Totals for Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other counties and municipalities in California will, when combined together, dwarf the investment wealth of the State government alone.

They will tell you that some of these investments are restricted and not able to be used for taxpayer services. And as a taxpayer, that should really piss you off!

They will also tell you that laws are in place that don’t allow these funds to be transferred for other purposes other than what they are designated for. And yet Obama and State legislators continuously speak of raiding the pension funds for their own benefit. In their opinion, it’s government’s money after all, not the employees or the taxpayers. But of course it is the law-makers that are telling you this nonsense. Law-makers… Get it? They make the laws. They can break them too, or create better ones that would pay off all debt and significantly lower taxes and downsize government tomorrow.

But then, the people would actually have to force this to happen…

Are there any real people out there?

Sometimes I wonder…

Non-Violence In A Violent World


To be non-violent in an extremely violent world – a square in a circular hole…

This concept has been eating at my brain as of late, as I watch with horror and dismay the brutality of police, the arrogant leveling of foreign infrastructures and people by military, and the promotion of these in the media.

And so I began to postulate whether peace is really achievable through the inaction of non-violent resistance. Is it possible to allow tyrants to literally get away with murder without consequences? Is it possible to have law and order as the protectorate of the people if the law is all but lawless? Can bonded corporate officers, police, and politicians be expected to act ethically, morally, and to assume responsibility for their own actions if they all work for a limited liability corporation that takes away that responsibility and protects their individual acts of moral and ethical corruptness?

I’ve prayed, meditated, thought, and role-played, and yet the answer never changed. The answer I kept receiving was no.

Perhaps the greatest fallacy being spread among the people is that the people must act within the law – the very law that protects the corporation from the people. A law system that exempts the law-makers from the crime and punishment of their own actions but not that of the people is not really the law, but instead is a dictate. U.S. CODE  is a declaration of power and intent that creates endless loopholes for the propagation of protection of organized crime through the misnomer of “government authority”.

In fact, the people now in government are best understood when they are compared to a 1st grade class of children with no teacher and no supervision – where each kid gets to write their own allowance check and all rules and laws are exempted when they are in the classroom. The parents aren’t even watching!

The best way to propagate crime is to take away any punishment for crime. Welcome to America…

We are told through media and through alternative media that non-violence is the only solution. And we are told the worst of fallacies – that if the people use violent resistance against our tyrants and dictators we will be doing exactly what “they” want – we will only be hurting ourselves.

Never mind that the very country we live in was created through violent overthrow.

And yet the very comprehension of this fallacy and what it truly means is no different than if a group of 50 pre-1840 plantation slaves were to say together that they must not harm their 3 slave-masters who whip, beat, and often kill their brothers and sisters right in front of their eyes – with no outside law or punishment. And so they stand there, with shovels, axes, and sickles in hand… watching the violence and doing nothing to stop it; knowing that it will happen to each and every one of them unless they stay slaves in every imaginable way.

Consent for violence in this society has been achieved through the popular conformity of its people, uniformity of its law, and exemptions for its makers.

History and law is generally written by the most successful of violent oppressors. At no point in history has non-violence created any real political change for the benefit of the people – unless you count regime change…

And then there is… literally, the cry of the oppressed: “But what about Gandhi?”

Give me a break! Government in India has not changed. The people are still “governed” against their will. And it is being “Americanized” like most others countries

Some refer to the “civil rights” movement for an example of a non-violent revolution. This is a lie. For civil rights were nothing more than legal code created for all “citizens” of a tyrannical government. Civil rights did nothing more than to force the uniform commercial equality of citizens (slaves as commodities). But equality of what…?

42 USC 1981 – Equal Rights Under The Law

(a) Statement of equal rights

All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other.
.
.
To understand the profound degradation of God-given human rights that was created via the civil rights agenda, we must define the word “exaction”.

ex·ac·tion

(Noun)
1. The act of exacting; extortion: the exactions of usury.
2. An amount or sum exacted.

–Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2012

.

1. The act or instance of exacting, especially money
2. An excessive or harsh demand, especially for money; extortion
3. A sum or payment exacted

–Collins English Dictionary, Unabridged

.

And so that there is no doubt as to the intent of this word as it is used in U.S. CODE,

BOUVIER’S LAW DICTIONARY – ADAPTED TO THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OF THE SEVERAL STATES OF THE AMERICAN UNION, by John Bouvier, Revised Sixth Edition, 1856

EXACTION, torts. A willful wrong done by an officer, or by one who, under color of his office, takes more fee or pay for his services than what the law allows. Between extortion and exaction there is this difference; that in the former case the officer extorts more than his due, when something is due to him; in the latter, he exacts what is not his due, when there is nothing due to him. Wishard; Co. Litt. 368.

–Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856

.

And so, in parades of cheering masses, the once freedmen blacks of America rejoiced at their victory: of becoming finally and legally equal to the already enslaved white citizens. They became house slaves one and all as equal citizens to all whites and to themselves. They were now equally taxed and extorted from… and were equally put in legal pain and suffered equal punishment. And there was much rejoicing…

And enslaved they remain to this day, under duress, as equals to whites. Forced integration is seen as a victory of civil rights; and Affirmative Action is utilized by unscrupulous citizens to legally enforce equal employment opportunities, despite the complete inequality that this privilege exacts.

This fallacy of freedom – where civil rights were bestowed and true freedom was squashed under legal oppression – is a perfect example of the imposed and enforced non-violence upon the people by a tyrannical and ultra-violent government. The illusion of freedom and equality…

And all of the uniformly equal people say:

“I’m free because I can vote for my lawmakers in congress and my president.”

But having never actually voted on the law itself, the freedom to vote (if registered as a citizen with that bestowed privilege) is a mere fallacy, giving no rights to the people to actually vote for any of the laws that govern them.

Legalese is a real word – a foreign language. It represents a set of words that mimics the English language, but where every word we use in conversation every day has a much different legal definition that we take for granted…

For instance, We, the People, tirelessly and carelessly throw around the word freedom. But what does that word mean in Legalese?

FREEDOM, Liberty; the right to do what is not forbidden by law. Freedom does not preclude the idea of subjection to law; indeed, it presupposes the existence of some legislative provision, the observance of which insures freedom to us, by securing the like observance from others. 2 Har. Cond. L. R. 208.

FREEMAN. One who is in the enjoyment of the right to do whatever he pleases, not forbidden by law. One in the possession of the civil rights enjoyed by, the people generally. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 164. See 6 Watts, 556:

FREEDMEN. The name formerly given by the Romans to those persons who had been released from a State of servitude (i.e. former slaves). Vide Liberti libertini.

–Bouvier’s Dictionary Of Law, 1856

Even this most cherished law dictionary tells us a nasty truth: that our government believes that freedom cannot exist without government. In fact, the legal definition of freedom is obedience to the laws of government!!! A freeman status does not mean a man is free. Nor does the term freedom define free men.

Whenever I hear a citizen say that he or she lives in a “free country”, I cringe at the ignorance of that statement as if it were nails on a chalkboard. The definition of free country is – legal (free) fiction (country). Country simply means the borders (jurisdiction) of government.

But with all of its illusions of freedom and equality, the civil rights movement did accomplish one very important thing with regards to the continuity of this tyrannical corporate government… non-violence.

This is not to say that violence did not continue to happen in individual cases, where people harmed other people. But the people’s ability for the organization of violence was oppressed – by a violent government. The people’s legal privilege to assemble was smashed without incorporation, which meant government control, or freedom to assemble if laws are followed. Of course, the law-makers would be the subjects of such assemblies, making the violent or even legal organization of the people impossible.

Even today, while activists and radio hosts talk about oppression, brutality, and a violent government completely out of control of the people – the people are afraid to say anything about fighting back “violently”. They disclaim their statements, books, and movies by promoting only non-violent resistance to violence or by calling it entertainment. The truth is that they are so afraid of government’s violent retaliation against them that they cower.

We are shown all of the violence that oppresses us, and are then told to react non-violently. This keeps the people in line, never fighting for their true freedom – not the legal kind, the God-given kind.

Case in point…

“Guarantee! I want the police to listen. You are going to die, and your family is going to die. Do you understand? This elite is going to kill you. It’s official. It’s de-classified. I am going to die. My entire family is going to die. Your family, all of you, almost everyone, 9 out of 10 people listening, you are going to be killed by the government in the next 10 to 15 years.” –Alex Jones, immediately followed by commercials for survival products, food, water, and seed storage.

Of course, Alex Jones continuously promotes non-violence. We are all going to be killed… but we must remain pacifist in our defense of our very lives and in that of our children? Try as you may, there is no way that a logical and reasonable man or woman can justify this paradoxical conclusion and watch as the whole world is usurped by a few wealthy tyrants.

The cognitive dissonance that is created by men like Alex Jones, in this author’s opinion, is the true definition of controlled opposition. Problems with no solutions… Fighting violence with non-violence (i.e. machine guns with feathers)… The takeover/infiltration of most activist groups… The results of action replaced by the hope and consequence of inaction… This is the “War For Your Mind“.

Meanwhile…

They come to take our homes and give them to banks, but we tenants must leave peacefully and be without shelter while millions of homes sit bank-owned and unoccupied.

They come to take our children as state property through marriage contract, rape and molest them, place them in brothels and workhouses, but we parents must be non-violent.

Their police come to beat and electrocute us within inches of our lives, and sometimes take our lives, but we victimless criminals must watch it happen and be non-violent in response.

Their politicians and judges create legislation that allows them to act outside of the law, even as We, the People are told that we must act peacefully within it.

They place us in jail with no warrant and no cause, and place price-tags on our heads that are too steep to bail us out, and our families are expected to stay calm and be non-violent.

They force us to work in prison, paying slave-labor wages, selling our wares and trading us as human capital commodities on the stock market, and still we prisoners are expected to remain calm.

We watch as our military men and women destroy the infrastructure and cultures of other countries, killing men, women, and children, and we do nothing because we’re told that they fight, occupy, and kill for our right to be non-violent.

Our soldiers who aren’t killed come home, and we watch as the government denies them care, and we pass 200,000 of them homeless on the streets and bow our eyes in shame instead of fighting for their rights.

Government takes our property because eminent domain is our right under the 5th Amendment’s taking’s clause, and we allow them to do this to our neighbors, our friends, and our family because – that’s just the way it is… and we remain non-violent even when the Sheriff that we thought we elected to protect us from corruption forces us to leave our own homes so the government corporation can take them on behalf of the banks…

And with the look and the tone of cognitive dissonance, the sheriff says, “I’m just doing my job, ma’am”.

They tow our cars by force, steal and condemn our property by force, tax and fine us by force, collect our debts by force, and now place us in debtors prisons by force. Yet we still believe non-violence to be the answer even when government utilizes violence to enslave and steal from us.

They spray our skies and modify our weather, spreading cancerous and neurologically dangerous compounds, and we do nothing more than point to the sky and say “Look, it’s a conspiracy!” before we go about our busy non-violent day of shopping and reality shows.

We know they want World War III, and we know they are prepared to do anything and kill as many people as they need to attain their goals of crisis management called “war”, simply because they have been disclosing this fact in their numerous writings. And yet we remain non-violent even in the midst of preventing a hellish war.

Perhaps the worse part of this whole thing is that we actually support our military troops in their violent campaigns, our police in their fundraisers, our CIA and FBI in their drug and gun-running, and our IRS in their violent exaction’s of our lives and property. We support the violence utilized by these government agencies and private non-governmental associations for reasons unclear to me. We condemn our neighbors and even our own family members when the taxman commeth, and support government’s violence against our own kin.

Perhaps this is what Ben Franklin foreshadowed when he stated:

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” –Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Benjamin Franklin

“Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.”  –Poor Richard’s Almanack (1738)

Now, this is the point where I am supposed to make a disclaimer that the above writing is not for the purposes of promoting violence, and that I only promote peaceful non-violent and lawful acts.

Just thought I’d let you know…

Dear Matt Damon…


Dear Matt Damon,

First of all, let me just say that I have enjoyed your work in various movies over the years. And congratulations on all of your success, both popularly and especially financially. But I want to talk specifically to you about one of your rolls, as the voice-over talent for the recent documentary movie entitled “Inside Job”.

Again, well done sir. This was a very well presented documentary on corruption most foul within the banking industry and in the United States government. But to be honest Matt, I have never seen a more well-done and yet totally incomplete presentation of the facts about such an important event in our nations history. In short, you were the narrator of one of the biggest propaganda pieces in history, and I was wondering how that feels…

You see Matt, I figure that your participation in this thing can only be explained by two possibilities:

1) You were just reading a script, and really don’t comprehend what was truly happening outside of what that script stated within the government and banking industry. And you thought you were truly part of something quite special.

2) You were fully aware of your participation in a government cover-up of the most important aspects of what really happened during this period of organized crime, and you were rewarded handsomely for your popularity and participation in this totally incomplete propaganda piece.

Now, I see that you are supportive of many charities and organizations around the world, and that pleases me as one of your fans. And so I am writing you this letter to let you know that I want to give you the benefit of the doubt with regards to your participation in this misleading documentary. I truly believe that you were doing what you thought was best (and I’m sure the paycheck wasn’t too bad either).

But if this assumption is true, I am wondering what you would do if you found out that you were unwittingly part of a massive misinformation campaign designed to obfuscate the most important aspects of this criminal event. Would you seek to publicly rectify the situation if you saw the proof that “Inside Job” was just a half-truth, designed to allow the very government who has ravished the third-world you are so desperately trying to help through your charities and support, get away with the financial crime of the century? Have you made enough millions yet that you would be willing to sacrifice your future movie career to truly educate humanity about the real Inside Job that took place and how it is directly responsible for the poverty and destitution that you publicly rally against?

As a fan, I’d like to know the answer to these questions…

So Matt, if you will indulge me for just 15 more minutes, I’d like to explain a few things to you, so that you might publicly address the true nature of the so-called financial collapse of 2007-2008 with a fully informed head. For that, I’ve prepared this video, which is just a short snip-it of a 4-hour documentary that I made on the same subject. Please know that this movie cost me nothing to make – except my valuable personal time – and is offered for free to the public without charge. I’m not selling anything. You see, it doesn’t take 20 million dollars to uncover the truth… not like the budget for “Inside Job”, just a deep passion for the truth and a hell of a lot of research.

Now, if you will, please view this 15 minute excerpt from this free movie, The Great Pension Fund Hoax:

So as you can see, Matt, Inside Job failed to mention the most important information for the comprehension of this whole Ponzi scheme – the fact that government had massive controlling stock investments in these banks, investment corporations, mortgage corporations, and bail-out receivers. In other words, the financial collapse of these corporations was not a collapse at all, but was instead a merger of government investment held and owned corporations through what is called “corporate governance”, as well as the complete and utter theft of billions and billions of dollars from the public. This term, corporate governance, was even mentioned once to my surprise in the movie – but with no explanation of what it actually means.

Again, now that you have received this holy grail of comprehension with regards to your documentary’s cover-up, and now that you can see the true nature of government’s complete conflict of interest as major share-holder of every major and important corporation on the planet – while also regulating the markets and industries those investment held banks and corporations operate under (including the major water companies like Nestle, Coca-cola, and Pepsi that are stealing all of the clean water from the African children you are banging your head against the wall trying to help) – what are you going to do about it?

What will you do…?

I mean, considering that the government also has major controlling shares in the very media industry that has made you such a wealthy and popular icon, do you have the integrity to stand up against the hand that feeds you in order to set into motion the necessary public comprehension that is needed to truly save the world from this organized propaganda and government-military industrial machine?

By the way, here are the investments in media companies, if you can spare another 10 minutes:

So what’s it gonna be, Matt?

Will you be the hero of our generation, exposing this truth to millions?

Or will you continue to support the very government corporate owned structure that is killing the families you’re trying to protect in your charitable organizations?

The choice… and the consequence of inaction is now yours, Matt. Because now you know.

Signed, a fan that hopes #1 is the answer you seek to rectify,

–Clint Richardson–

The Fallacy Of The Dollar Crash


I was just listening to an infomercial by a gentleman named Porter Stansberry, owner of an investment corporation, who makes claims that he “predicted” the bankruptcy of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, General Motors, Bear Stearn’s, and other major corporations, and that his clients who listened to his predictions made a nice return on their investments because of it. His infomercial, which is promoted on various popular alternative sites, speaks of the dollar as being the current world’s reserve currency and that because of such humongous debt, the United States dollar will inevitably crash, loosing this singular distinction.

Here is that website (which I do not promote): http://pro.stansberryresearch.com/1011PSIENDVD/PPSIN315/

Mr. Stansberry offers a solution to this so-called dollar crash.

What is that solution?

Usury.

It is the same “solution” he previously suggested for the bankruptcy of the aforementioned corporations, having told his “clients” to short bet their investments in these corporations so as to make a profit from the inevitable collapse and devaluation of their stock, and of their takeover by government or other corporations (bailouts).

Note: this is what happened just days before 9/11 – short betting the airlines before a man-made disaster would knowingly and drastically lower the value of those airline’s stock.

So Mr. Stansberry is not so much offering a solution to the problem of corrupt corporations and the government that regulates and allows them to operate in such a way, but instead offers a way to use the most destructive and dangerous method in history (usury) to make money off of other money by participating in the corruption. In other words – to make a bet that one or more corporations and the dollar will fail, and make money from that failure. It is a mind-boggling comprehension that this method of wealth-building is even allowed by law (legal code), considering the historical aversion and destruction caused from usury to most all past “economies” in history, and of course the writings of all but one religious text that is absolutely opposed to and abhorrent of this usurious method of profit-banking.

Where does this investment return come from?

How can you bet against the success of a corporation, and somehow pull money from a decaying entity and its lowered stock value?

How do you suck blood from a turnip?

Of course, the answer is simply that every stock “trade” has two sides to the bet. One side will lose while the other side will gain. The stock market is nothing more than a legal casino for deceit and usury, designed to make those who promote usury a bucket-load of money. It certainly does not represent the actual value or reputation of a company. When you make a small stock investment, your “broker” or online trading company (for the do-it-yourself-ers out there) do not in any way care whether you win or lose on your particular transaction or trade. They make money regardless of its outcome, via commission on the transaction. Many will convince you (and many others) to buy or sell certain stocks so that the price will go up or down in the market, which will effect the “short” or “long” bets that major funds, corporations, and government institutional funds have made on that stock. A penny in either direction can be worth millions! And of course mutual funds, which control many individual people’s retirement investment capital, will buy and sell investment stock not to help their individual investors and retirees, but to ensure that these future bets are paid by manipulating the price of the stock with huge amounts of pooled fools money.

Is this strategy of Mr. Stansberry’s secret advice (that you must pay for) and why he made this infomercial?

I don’t have that answer. And I’m not here to pick on this man or call him names.

Frankly, I really don’t care.

The point of this writing is to try and make him and you see that this whole system is completely based on usury. No matter how sincere or profitable any of these financial schemes sound, they can only succeed on one side of the trade. In other words, someone must loose on the other side of your (or his company’s) trade. And chances are, it will be the little people; the working class, who loose. The money doesn’t just disappear when these stocks go down in value. It goes to the winner of the bet. And when millions of families lost their entire investment portfolios in the last two decades, due to the quite purposeful mini “economic collapses” that seem to rear their ugly heads every few cycles, that lost retirement money went into someone else’ pockets – and that someone else was in fact major banks and investment corporations… and more importantly, government institutional funds.

And here’s the kicker.

Porter Stansberry’s whole premise about this inevitable collapse of the U.S. dollar is based upon his often quoted “budgetary reports” from government. He even states that many local municipal corporations are completely in debt, bankrupt, and cannot recover from this situation, based on their “budget reports”.

By using this information, he is contributing to the media and government’s budget fallacy.

As I’ve been writing, speaking, and making movies about for the last two and a half years based on the governments required audit – the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) – the budget report is nothing more than a convenient and incomplete accounting of the vast amounts of wealth and investments held by each of these Federal, local and state governments, per their investment trust and pension funds and State Treasurer’s commingled investment funds.

Anyone who has the proclaimed knowledge of the stock market as Mr. Stansberry so claims, must by default know that government institutional funds are the main shareholders of most all corporations in the world, not just in the United States. From China to Iraq to Mexico, government institutional funds – especially the world-wide pension system – is the owner of controlling stock in these corporations, hands down. And government is also a major investor in mutual and other private investment funds. For Mr. Stansberry to consistently refer to the budget reports of government without speaking to the CAFR and investment holdings reports of government, which show trillions of dollars in stock, real estate, foreign currency, and other liquid assets held by government, he is either ignorantly or purposefully misleading his potential “customers” into believing the biggest fallacy and Ponzi scheme in history – that the United States government is broke.

And of course these investment firms are trying to convince you that making the proper casino bets will hedge a dollar and economic collapse in the stock market.. And of course by investing in precious metals (which these firms no doubt bought at a very low price, as did anyone pushing gold and silver to make the price continue on a ridiculous price increase – to increase the value of their own holdings via increased demand) you will be able to make more money by shorting or long betting these stocks. This profit will come despite the whole premiss this scheme is based on – a complete and total economic and dollar collapse?

And this is somehow a good thing to support and take advantage of?

Well wait a minute… to see the return on these investments, you must sell these stocks for more dollars! Under this premise, if the dollar collapses and you are still living in America, what good will a bunch of dollars do from your short bets? And as for the gold and silver investments advised, what good will gold be if it is valued in dollars? The claim that gold will go up in value to $5,000 is nothing but a very popular and deceiving gimmick. With a theoretical collapsed dollar, $5,000 or $500,000 in gold valued in dollars will be all but worthless in dollars, since the dollar will be worthless.

And as for trading gold for goods and services – that is if you can hold on to your gold when the so-called collapse happens and the pre-predicted angry and hungry mobs come around and take everything you have by force, including your life – good luck getting from point A to point B and back to point A without getting robbed, getting your home robbed while you are gone, or even getting back home with your life and limbs attached.

This is not an attempt to get you to buy anything, for I have nothing to sell. I am simply trying to bring logic and reason into this ever more unrealistic theory of a collapse of the “system” and of the dollar. Please understand that the ridiculous comparison of the United States to small empires and governments like the Wiemar Republic and Argentina when considering a dollar crash is pure fear-mongering. They are not the same situations, and those countries did not police the world, have the world reserve currency, or possess the strongest and one of the most brutal military’s in the world to ensure the dollar’s authority. This is an appealing fallacy that just needs to go away.

The dollar has power throughout the world for one reason and one reason only. It is not, as Stansberry claims, because the United States can simply print more dollars anytime it sees fit, though this is certainly a nice benefit. This does not give the dollar one ounce of value, authority, or spending power in the United States or anywhere in the world. If this was the case, we could just combine all of our monopoly board games and use monopoly money for the world reserve currency. And if we ran out, Parker Brothers could just print more and the world would be saved!

No… the truth is that the dollar only has value because of one simple and quite disgusting truth.

What is that simple truth?

The dollar has value, authority, and spending power simply due to the fact that the United States military beats the shit out of anyone who doesn’t accept it, making it what is referred to as the “world reserve currency” – a pretty, politically correct way of saying what it really is: blood money. Libya is the latest victim, having separated from the international banking system and creating a virtual utopia in the desert. 40 cent gasoline using Libyan and only Libyan oil, which was nationalized and owned by the people. An aqueduct system without water rights belonging to the United Nations or other corporate interests – but again to the people – bringing the miracle of underground water reservoirs to the harsh desert surface. And truly attempting to house every Libyan before Gaddafi would house his own father.

And for this treason against the dollar and its ghost (the petrol-dollar), Libya, its economy, its leader, and its people have been dealt with and decimated.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia… care to guess who owns the water and mineral rights for these victims of the U.S. military-backed dollar?

And rest assured, the military and the federally militarized municipal corporation (city) and state police will beat the shit out of and incarcerate you too if you dare try and make your own currency – at least one that is effective and competitive against the dollar or is non-taxable. It’s already happening all around you (see: “The Liberty Dollar”).

Hell, you can’t even collect rain water anymore in your own backyard in many areas of your own America.

So will the dollar crash, as reported by so many who have been selling their financial services for so many decades to new generations of the fearful and unintentionally usurious hoards of people just trying to stay above water?

Well… let’s think about this for moment.

The United States has been incrementally and covertly usurped by two of the most powerful entities ever created – the BAR Association and the banking institution cartels. The BAR has created a set of copyrighted legal rules that are specifically designed to obfuscate and confuse the typical American, while at the same time protect the artificial persons called corporations from the confused and manipulated people.

In an ideal fascist state, there are so many legal restrictions and codes that it is virtually impossible for the average person to not break the law every day of their lives. Welcome to America! This is an accurate description of the BAR and its case law (public opinion) when combined with U.S. Legal CODE – the prima facie (presumed consent) law that rules America and Americans.

Sadly, the people have been fooled quite succinctly that by taking the action of voting for an individual person to represent them in congress, that the people somehow have a say in government, and thus by default a say in what is composed and made into law (U.S. CODE) by these representatives of the people. This is referred to as “the voting process”. Some call it “democracy”. Of course, in reality the people only vote for the persons who will vote for them, called congressmen and senators – the popular name of these Federal employees being “representatives”. And with a passion unprecedented  in many other political outlets, the people demand the right to vote. But they don’t actually vote for anything but the people that will vote for them. It’s a sad spectacle costing taxpayers billions of dollars in advertising and publicly funded lobbying money per election, only to put into office the persons who will pass the laws that will rule and enslave the people even further, without the people ever casting a vote.

Lately, this process has whimsically been referred to as “Hope and Change”.

And the people eat it up – hook, line, and sinker.

The moral of the story is that the people aren’t voting for anything that happens in government, aside from the local and state initiatives on the ballot that are, inevitably, either changed later by state legislation or are struck down by – you guessed it – the BAR Association in the government contracted court system (the private corporation called the BAR is contracted by government to make and adjudicate the law). The reality is that the people have no vote for anything at all but the choice of who their slave-masters will be, and even that is decided on digital machines that have been proven over and over to be easily rigged in fixed elections.

So, with all of this in mind, the question still stands…

Will the dollar crash?

Let’s try to answer that question with a bit of reason and logic, in the form of another question:

If you were the government, or part of the holders of the puppet-strings that is government, and you have just incrementally over 100 years set up a total control and surveillance grid via banking and public debt, having the people so completely wrapped around your finger and completely dependent upon you for just about everything due to your destruction of any decent educational system, would you then let that power and control just fall into oblivion and loose that control, power, and wealth?

How about if you could write off that debt any time you wished because your military would lay waste to anyone who complained about a default?

A better question would be: What is wealth?

Answer: Not the dollar.

And this is the final answer to the question as to whether or not the dollar will crash:

Answer: It doesn’t matter, because the dollar isn’t wealth.

Oh boy, now I must prove this answer…

A dollar is simply an unfinished contract between two entities. The entity or person who held the dollar before trading (spending) it had nothing more than the debtor portion of a contract. Whomever traded that dollar to him or her in the first place was the holder of that debt before him, and so on. The current holder of that dollar has nothing but a piece of paper that represents the potential for wealth, and is eager to trade (spend) that dollar in order to obtain real wealth. He who is left holding the dollar if it devalues is just out of luck, since no one will trade wealth for a dollar.

What is real wealth?

Again, not the dollar. Real wealth is ownership of some thing, be it property or real estate, stock in a corporation (which represents ownership in that corporation), or other tangible or intrinsic assets that have a value to more than one person. A dollar is used as a contract to acquire that asset from the other entity or person. The dollar is nothing more than an unfulfilled portion of a contract, and must be traded elsewhere in order for it to be transformed into real wealth. The dollar’s contractual value is determined by the corporate persons that are appointed by the people you vote for (or don’t vote for) in government, via the treasury and the Federal Reserve, whom once again has the military industrial complex to back up what it says the trading value of the dollar is world-wide.

Now let’s take the government of the United States and ask the question:

Is the United States government wealthy?

Oh yes… indeed. It is wealthy beyond imagination. But not because it holds dollars. Again, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report shows that government holds many trillions of  dollars worth of  everything but dollars – real estate, stock investments, all foreign currencies, banks, General Motors, and many many government owned corporations both national and international. One pension fund alone held over $1 billion dollars in just Chevron Corporation stock at market value, and there are thousands and thousands of these funds! The Social Security Fund is sitting at over 2.5 trillion dollars in investments.

But the government is not interested in holding the dollar… For the dollar is not wealth. Of course it has a few for petty cash!

Instead, the government prints money (in the digital realm, not on paper) with virtually no limitations (since it makes its own rules and laws), and continuously invests those digital dollars into real assets, stocks, real estate, investment funds, etc.

Of course, that money has to be paid back somehow, because those digital dollars represent a debt contract. And whoever is left holding that debt is out of luck, since the dollar (debt) is simply not wealth. So… it is important to understand what the so-called U.S. debt actually represents. What does it actually mean when the President or congress states that the national debt is over 10 trillion dollars?

You see, the government is a corporation. The people of the United States are the constitutors (debtors) of that corporation.

In short, the government (as a private corporation) is not in debt in any way whatsoever. It cannot really be in debt to itself now can it?

Why?

Because the people abide by the prima facie law created by their “representatives” who vote over and above what the people want, and have made damn sure that the people are contractually obligated to the dollars (debt) that is created by government.

What does this mean?

Step 1: The government creates the dollars.

Step 2: The government declares that the dollars represent the good faith and credit of the United States. (Note: that means that it represents the value of you and what you think is your property).

Step 3: The government spends the dollars in order to obtain real assets and investments.

Step 4: The government declares that due to the fact that it was voted upon by the people (the people’s representatives, actually) to create this money, either via the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch for which the people voted for its members (Federal employees), the people are thus placed into debt to pay back the government the trillions of dollars that it created and spent or invested on behalf of the people. This is called nationalizing the debt.

In other words, the corporation (government) spends the people’s money but never has to pay the people back. Instead, it spends the peoples money, and then charges the people the same amount (plus interest) as debt for the privilege of it spending the people’s dollars. Now, imagine if I asked you to borrow money and then demanded that you pay me back the same amount of money plus interest (usury) – doubling your loss plus interest. What would you do? Would you bend over and take it? Would you work three jobs so that you can pay me back the money you loaned me plus interest? Would you go to jail (debtors prison) or give up your property to eminent domain and confiscation by the government (IRS) if I demanded that you pay me back the money that I owe you?

Well guess what folks? This is exactly what you are doing every single day of your American existence.

Every time you pay a tax, you are generating dollars for the government, which then turns those dollars into real wealth (assets) and charges you with the bill. Sometimes it even borrows the dollars from itself to build an asset for which it claims ownership of, and then nationalizes the debt of that self-induced loan to the people, collecting dividends on the interest that the people pay!

But that’s not all, folks…

For then, despite the fact that the people are still paying for the debt of the dollars it took for the government corporation to build that public asset (bridges, roads, buildings, etc.), it then sells that asset to private sector corporations for pennies on the dollar, and allows private sector corporations like Morgan Stanley to charge you the people such things as parking meter fees, parking garage and expressway fees, bridge tolls, and other profitable fees and collections for the infrastructure our fathers built with taxpayer money. And then the government uses that revenue generated by the sale of publicly funded infrastructure to buy or build even more public infrastructure, charging the debt to the people and retaining the asset (wealth), only to turn around later and sell the new asset for more dollars to build more infrastructure and accumulate more indebtedness for the people.

But the most important thing to understand is this:

These private sector corporations that are purchasing publicly funded wealth and then charging the public to use these services at the barrel of a gun, are only allowed to do so because government is the main shareholder of those public sector corporations. The government will get incentives, dividends, and returns on stock investments from the sale of public infrastructure, with the added bonus of being the main shareholder, thus having proxy shareholder voting rights which allow the government to pick and choose who the board of directors for each of its stock investment held corporations will be. The government appointed board then appoints the CEO, and is directed to bid on public infrastructure. Of course, the government then eliminates monopoly, anti-trust, and other protective regulations so that Morgan Stanley can charge as much as it wants for those parking meters it now owns. And government still gets to be in charge of the assets to ensure these corporations earn back their investment, a return that benefits both government and its investment held company.

And naturally this explains the advent of the Public Private Partnership…

And of the no-bid contract.

So, if you were this corporation posing as the United States government, would you allow the whole thing to just suddenly crash? Would you cease to double-tap the population for every dollar you spend while acquiring massive amounts of real wealth at their expense?

Would you?

Really?

No.

You might, however, transfer the whole thing over to an international conglomerate body under the guise of a global society (which you conquered via the forced use of the dollar as the world currency). And you might even replace the national dollar with an international one. Heck, you might even back that new dollar with gold, since you are the holder of 90% of the worlds gold, only to later crash the artificial price of gold and start the whole process over again. You might even crash the international dollar. After all, what if aliens invade? It will have to be a intergalactic currency then, eh? But I digress…

So would it matter if the dollar crashed?

No.

Government only uses dollars to acquire real wealth. And rest assured that if government were to purposefully crash the dollar (it certainly wouldn’t be by accident, silly rabbit) the government would still be holding all of the wealth that it has purchased and sold through its corporate investments by using the dollar as a tool to acquire wealth and create public debt and dependance, including complete control of just about every corporation on earth – and of course the very land and home that you foolishly call your “private property”.

The only thing that would be missing would be those little paper and digital dollars, of which the government wouldn’t be holding a single one. Only the people would have the dollars (debt). The people would hold the unfunded part of the contract called the dollar. And the government would simply call upon its international banks (for which it holds controlling stock investment) and pretend to beg and plead for them to make a massive loan to the American Government on behalf of the people. And of course, the people – not the government – would be responsible for paying back that loan to the government stock investment held bank.

I submit that there is no possibility that the dollar can crash.

It can be devalued.

It can be replaced.

But the thing that the “dollar” truly represents, no matter what replaces it – the debt of the people to the government – will never crash and burn. The people of the world will always be enslaved to the currency that has the strongest military backing.

And so I ask of you, Mr. Stansberry – you who supposedly wishes to help people survive the coming economic and dollar “crash” – I ask of you and every other entity and corporation out there profiting from fear and usury, to stop promoting usury as a solution to usury. Be part of a revolution to dethrone the profit driven system instead of promoting it in such a deceitful way. Starve the system instead of funding its feeding time. Be a hero, not a villain.

For if your scenario is correct, sir, the hoards of poverty and hunger stricken people of tomorrow that your winning system has taken advantage of today will be knocking down the doors of your wealthy castle unless you help to feed and cloth them today. Shouldn’t that be what you should be selling?

Stop promoting usury!

.

Note to the reader: You have two paths to choose from at this point. Watch the infomercial and profit from the pain and destitution of others, or walk the righteous path and follow the teachings of the profits – help, feed, and teach those who need help, food, and education. For you cannot be wealthy in this system without many others somewhere else living in abject poverty to support your wealth. One path has a happy and long-lived story, the other will surely end in the destruction of us all. The choice is yours…

And Porter, I’d be glad to debate the topic publicly. I’m just a high school educated college dropout after all. Just let me know…

A Request For Help


For the last two years, I have been what can only be defined as a full-time activist. If I were to die today, I feel like I would die knowing that I have left at least some positive mark within this never-ending fight for the dissemination of information and freedom. And if I have my way, my hope, I would very much like to continue with my efforts and keep my websites going (with a new one on the way)…

http://thecorporationnation.com/
https://realitybloger.wordpress.com/
http://clint4p.com/

I am sitting on a half-finished Lethal Injection (Part 2) Documentary video, one other fully completed script, two half-written but mostly researched scripts, and snippets of research for other projects. I have what I consider to be the most important information I’ve ever uncovered sitting next to me here in my little digital storage devices. And I mean revolutionary “stuff”.

I have never asked for money or donations for my writing, movies, radio hosting and interviews, or other charitable work. My creations are and always will be placed into public domain as soon as they are published on my blog or on YouTube (and then censored by Google of course).

For the first time, I am asking you who are reading this to consider making a donation to my future efforts, for future documentaries and endless hours of research, and for my attempt to get on the ballot for President of the states united as a free-natural born man without corporate status (as a people, not a person).

I have watched as the Ron Paul campaign collects multiple 10’s of millions of the people’s hard earned money, without a chance of winning the Republican nomination. I watch as “Super-PACs” transfer billions of dollars in an effort to skew the public’s opinion about the millionaire candidates who pretend to be for the people and of the people. And here I sit unable to imagine being able to afford to even pay the $500 fee charged by my corrupt corporate State to even get my name on the presidential ballot (part of what I am fighting as prima facie law)!

And so today, I have reached the point that I must seek the help of the people whom I hope have benefited from my work. If that is you, I would ask for your help. I am trying to raise $7,500 dollars to support myself for the next 6 months. That is rent, food, and bills. No time or budget for fun! If I can’t raise that, I simply cannot continue this in a full time effort and expect there to be food on my plate and a roof over my head.

Thank you…

*** I cannot seem to place a donate button on this page/blog. Please go to http://clint4p.com/ if you wish to make a donation.

As of Friday, March 2nd, 10am: $115 donated – Thank you.

I had honestly thought that by now some obscenely wealthy person would have offered to sponsor or fund some of my projects, simply because they understand that their wealth requires others (like myself) to be in poverty, and that their dollars are in reality nothing but blood money that may be gone tomorrow. But my idealism is obviously my own.

Is there anybody out there?

CAFR School: The Public Reading Of The CAFR


In this dramatically droll and boring school board meeting, the school district’s board is visited by its chosen and contracted auditing firm, for which a representative of that firm monotonously explains to the board the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that it has completed for the district. I am posting this recorded school board video recording not for your viewing enjoyment, but for proof positive that all school boards and other local, district, county, and state governments are fully aware of and must acquiesce and approve their CAFR reports in a board or council meeting. Do not ever let any government tell you that they do not know what the CAFR is. They are lying. They may not be able to read it, but they know it exists and know they aren’t supposed to know what it really says! Ignorance is no excuse for malfeasance…

CAFR discussion begins at 2:23 in this video:

Let there be no doubt about this standard government accounting practice.

What Is A Representative?


In a recent conversation, I was enlightened on a subject that I think will clear up a few things in your quest of comprehension as to why our “representative” congressmen, presidents, governors, and other elected officers of the UNITED STATES (a federal corporation in the District of Columbia) don’t seem to be representing the interests of the people of the states for which they represent. This is very enlightening…

The simple answer to this question is this:

At some point in history, the original intended constitutional description of an elected politician went from being a “delegate” of the people to being a “Representative” of the people.

What is a delegate?

A delegate is a person chosen by the people or an other entity to represent the will of the people or that entity. That person (one of the people) is generally referred to as a “statesman” because his or her interest was only in that of the state or area (now called a district) for which he was an elected delegate. When in a national setting, such as in a congressional session with other delegates from other areas, this chosen representative of the people was there on behalf of the people and interests of those people in his district or state (statesman), and nothing else. National issues, therefore, would not trump local ones. But the most important difference between a delegate and a representative is this: a delegate was required to bring any legislation created in that lawmaking session either locally or nationally back to his area (district) for a vote of the people. In other words, he did not have the freedom to make decisions for the people, he merely was the chosen voice and scribe of the people as a representation of the people’s interests. The delegate and the laws he or she created had no power except that granted by the vote of the people. This made the laws passed by the delegate the actual law of the people. And this made it very difficult to pass a law that was tyrannical and not representative of the people.

What is a Representative?

A representative in today’s legal standing is a person chosen by the people or an other entity to represent the will of the people or entity, that much is the same. But today’s elected politicians are no longer delegates of the people, but rather the parent (parens patria) of the people will. Today’s politicians become TITLE 2 and TITLE 5 employees of the federal government, not delegates of the people. What does this mean? It means that as a representative, today’s elected delegate is conferred with the legal power, authority, and jurisdiction to make their own decisions (i.e. to vote for legal CODE without a vote of the people – with disregard of a people’s vote). A representative is not a statesman. And a representative does not make law, but rather creates legal CODE. This CODE is not the will of the people, as it is not voted upon by the people. A representative does not have the interests of his area (district) or state in mind when voting or creating legal CODE. Therefore, a representative is not acting in the people’s interest, for he is not delegating the peoples will. He or she is no longer a delegate of the people. And these legal CODES which are passed off as laws are very easy to pass, simply because the people have no say in their content or their passing.

-≈-

In short, comprehending the distinction between a delegate and a representative has been the final step for me to finally understand why the entirety of the legal US CODE has no lawful power, authority, or jurisdiction over me as one of the people without my personal consent, since all law is always based on the consent of the people.

If the people as a whole did not vote for a law, it is not the law. It is prima facie legal CODE requiring the consent of the people in the enforcement of that CODE. This includes state, county, local, and district legal CODE as well.

And remember that judges are “elected” as well, and are the adjudicators of legal CODE, not the law. And please understand that you also “elect” an attorney to “represent” you. BAR attorneys swear an oath to uphold that copyrighted legal CODE and to follow legal court procedure. An attorney is not a delegate, but a representative of yourself as a ward of the court not fit to represent yourself. All BAR attorneys and judges are on the same team, representing the legal CODE, not the people. And these BAR attorneys make up a majority of our elected officials in the senate, a large majority of the house, and of course our representative President, who has granted himself the authority to make his own law (legal CODE) through the use of Presidential Directives and Executive Orders, giving force to legal CODE’s without and above constitutional considerations.

Just because a politician makes a pretty speech about being a statesman and representing the will of the people doesn’t make this a reality. Most politicians want nothing more than the corporate clout and money that being a post-politician carries with it, not to mention a multi-million dollar tax-exempt expense account and a life-long taxpayer funded pension virtually unmatched in the private sector.

So the next time you decide to vote for your local, county, state, or federal representative, including the President of the UNITED STATES, remember that you are electing a representative and not a delegate. And remember that by voting for that person, you are granting that person your presumed consent to make decisions on your behalf, but certainly not in your best interests.
