We accurately predicted recent economic events - We were totally prepared
We did NOT lose a penny in the rapid stock market decline

There are many thousands of individual economic strategies and tactics
NOT ONE OF THEM IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN ALL SITUATIONS

A successful person observes current trends, compares them to known history,
takes action to prepare for the predictable, and mitigates the potential downside

An observant person understands it is important to react quickly in response to significant events
The faster things change, the more agile and mentally mobile we must become (or we will decline)

Negative consequences are clear proof of a significant lack of wisdom

If you are a U.S. creditor (like China, Japan or Saudi Arabia),
will you continue to loan America over 40% of what our stupid fools spend?

The following is NOT meant to be all negative gloom and doom

We merely present many well-documented historical proven facts about the unsustainable suicidal path we are now on.

Our goal in providing this free collection of alarming information is that you will laugh along with us at the world's current counterproductive stupidity, and allow this awareness to motivate the radical shovel-ready beneficial mutually-supportive sustainable-community lifestyle changes that we propose.

If you don't agree with everything we suggest, please allow this material to provoke thoughtful development of your own compelling vision of a superior future, and a pragmatic pro-active plan of action for your family's survival.

Do not become depressed. Never give up. Do not wait for those who created our problems to solve them.

A better new dawn is on the horizon. (See our solutions listed on the right) Become part of the pro-active revolution.

Today's clouds have sparkling silver linings - IF we are open to our own radical reinvention potential.

Learn from the mistakes of the past, but do NOT allow bad history to prevent you from reaching your full future potential.

We are what we imagine. Everything we will become begins with our imagination. With our images we create the world.

Without a compelling vision of a superior future, the people will perish. Help others look forward to a happy tomorrow.

Recent rapid decline can and MUST be reversed - IF we have the collective political will to do what is long overdue.

A truly-democratic free society has the unique ability for radical non-violent revolution - IF we have a shared vision.

Our 99% majority CAN reverse the suicidal trends created by the oppressive, selfish, wealth-accumulation Top 1%.

Patriots must be prepared to defend our nation against pervasive greedy corporate-and-government destructive corruption.

Study the following cause-and-effect issues. Become the solution, not the problem. Everyone must do their part.

 

Recent Roller-Coaster Ride of U.S. Dysfunctional Political and Economic Instability

(1) There was an abrupt negative change in the August 2011 30-year low-yielding U.S. bond auction. By December 14, 2011 the yield on the 30-year long bond was only 2.9% - below its 200-day moving average. U.S. T bills have been among the worst investments most people can make.

The $16 billion bond auction had the lowest level of indirect foreign bidders, since February 2008. The hesitance toward buying long bonds was shown by indirect bidders taking just 12.2% of the sale. That is significantly lower than the recent 39.1% average. If this trend continues, soon USA will NOT be able to borrow money from any foreign creditor. (Primary dealers are required to take any leftover securities - They had to purchase nearly half the $16 billion offering, which is a bad predictor of our declining economic future.)

The yield on U.S. Treasury 10-year bonds subsequently fell below 2%. I cannot imagine why anyone would tie up their dollars for 10 years at 2%, while the value of the dollar is declining so very rapidly in the middle of worldwide economic turmoil.

Our previous foreign creditors do NOT want to loan America money for the long term - They are NOT STUPID

They rightly believe that USA is a declining investment, with an increasing probability of economic collapse

IF no one will loan USA any money, we will have to immediately slash our deficit-spending
federal budget overnight by more-than 40% - Causing Instant Economic Collapse

(2) Following the do-nothing Congress Tea-Party-triggered Debt Ceiling debacle, the DJIA had its worst day since December 1, 2008 - during the Bush / Cheney-deficit-spending recession. DIVIDED WE FELL !

(3) On August 8, 2011, the DJIA closed at 10,810, On July 21, 2011, the DJIA had closed 17% higher at 12,724 - only 11 trading days earlier.
The week of September 19, 2011, the DJIA had its worst loss since the October 2008 collapse. Even gold declined significantly.

(4) August 8th was the sixth-worst DJIA point loss in history - There were 30 times more stock market sell orders than buy orders.

(5) The economic instability "Volatility Index" (VIX) shot up 60% - to the same level that it was in September 2008 - which predicted The Bush / Cheney Great Recession, loss of millions of jobs, reduced tax revenues, increased unemployment expenditures, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and a rapid worldwide economic crash. For four days the DJIA rose or fell over 400 points per day - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY.

Long-term stock "investors" want a steady rise in the market - They hate uncertainty. Short-term parasitic "traders in derivative stock options" love volatility - They make money when our country crashes. Their motivation is perverse and anti-American. Gambling on the failure of the U.S. economy makes the rate of decline even worse. Europe has similar problems. They are considering banning "short sales", where billion-dollar-a-year parasites profit greatly when a country's economy fails. The Wall-Street-owned U.S. Congress will probably never consider such legislation.

During times of high volatility, long-term investors and companies withhold their cash, which further reduces employment opportunities, and reduces tax revenues - increasing our unpayable deficit. U.S. companies are sitting on well-over $2 Trillion in cash, which would greatly benefit our entire economy, IF it was invested wisely in building sustainable "green" future infrastructure.

Our government does NOT need to spend taxpayer funds or borrow money to accomplish this goal. USA merely needs to set the right future goals, like Clinton / Gore did with putting the Internet in public schools in 1993 (which happened in only 8 years without public funding).

We need a Shared Compelling Future Vision of a More-Prosperous Future, driven by a world-class expanding infrastructure foundation - Like the privately-developed Internet and smart technologies, we need a nation of motivated innovators, who share a vision that the world's best days are yet to come - This is certainly not true today.

Ask yourself, WHO WILL PROVIDE THE PROTOTYPE FOR OUR OUTSTANDING FUTURE?

(6) The yield on the 2-year U.S. Treasury bill fell to its all-time historical low. Big Ben Bernanke announced that he would intervene and do what the Federal Reserve Banks could to keep interest rates near zero percent for two more years - Discouraging saving, and encouraging MORE debt, which is what created our debt crisis in the first place!

After Bernanke's announcement in August 2011, mortgage interest rates fell to a 15-year low. But even so, new mortgage applications also fell to a 15-year low - Americans could not afford low-priced houses with exceptionally low interest rates. When real estate values are declining, it is stupid to own a declining large asset that robs you of lifetime net worth..

Throughout most of the 20th century after The Great Depression, real estate was a great appreciating asset to build net worth for retirement. People's homes were like an ATM that they could draw endless money from. BUT, since 2007, Bush / Cheney easy-home-ownership policies and failure to regulate sub-prime high-risk mortgages resulted in significant LOSS of net worth - costing Americans billions of dollars in home-ownership equity. Tax deductions for home mortgage interest caused too many people to buy a more-expensive house than they needed (or could afford). Many U.S. homes now have mortgages that are higher than the market value of the property. Refinancing is allowing people to enter new mortgages for 125% of the value of their home - increasing the probability of default and foreclosure. There are over 4 million foreclosed home or ones with a mortgage that is as least 3 months overdue. Even artificially-low interest rates have NOT corrected the real-estate-based recession, which has badly damaged our entire financial system (beyond repair?).

As house prices fall, fewer people want to own depreciating assets. Fewer buyers mean even lower prices - in a downward snowball cascade. Even low interest rates do NOT motivate potential home buyers. Home construction has fallen precipitously - lowering national GDP and tax revenues at a time when welfare payments, food stamps and unemployment have rapidly risen. Construction unemployment is near 20% - leaving many families with nothing but welfare income - a heavy burden on all taxpayers. Less nationwide income means less money to spend to keep our failing economy from bankruptcy.

If deficit spending created our 2011 crash, then artificially-low interest rates and MORE UNPAYABLE DEBT PASSED ON TO OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE SOLUTION

Representative Ron Paul: "We have a failed monetary system with interest rates that are way lower than they should be - encourages malinvestment and debt."

Presidential Candidate Rick Perry essentially stated that if Bernanke did anything to help the American economy (and benefit the Obama Administration) before the November 2012 election, Perry would consider it "Treason" (which is traditionally punishable by death). Rick threatened that Bernanke would be treated badly in Texas.

Rick Perry is essentially illiterate and does not know what the U.S. Constitution definition of "Treason" is. His stupid remarks were attacked by high-level Republicans.

Most Tea Party Terrorists (like radical Rick Perry and insane Michele Bachmann) would like to see the American economy and government collapse, rather than Obama win in 2012.

(7) The price of gold rose to a record high over $1788 USD per ounce on August 10, and gold traded at a speculative high of $1888 on August 19, 2011. This is a clear signal that the U.S. Dollar is rapidly becoming WORTHLESS as Bernanke creates trillions of worthless new dollars out of thin air. Fed "Quantitative Easing" stole value from every U.S. dollar holder.

The price of gold was at an all-time high, as worldwide central banks dumped worth less U.S. Dollars and accumulated gold reserves. The speculative risk premium for gold was over $300 / oz. It was long overdue for a correction, but the decade-long rapid radical rise in gold (as the dollar continues to decline) is irrefutable. Do you think that gold will ever return to the 2001 $250 / oz price? Of course not.

When the price of gold rose rapidly to just above $1900 per ounce, we predicted that it would have a correction. We strongly recommend AGAINST investing in gold (see discussion below). We were not surprised when gold fell to $1600 per ounce, but even $1500 per ounce would be a far cry above the $250 per ounce that it was when Bush / Cheney first took office.

(8) Many economists (including Big Ben Bernanke) predicted that the U.S. economy would magically snap back when the price of oil dropped below $100 / barrel. Oil controls the price of transporting almost everything. Despite the fact that China and India are rapidly expanding their number of petroleum-powered cars, and the worldwide supply of oil is Past Peak and declining, the price of oil fell below $82 per barrel in August, 2011. Instead of transportation stocks rallying on the news, the Dow Jones Transport Index FELL to a 52-week low.

By the end of August 2011, the demand for gasoline fell to a 9-year low - predicting a serious recession. This low-demand was even less than during the 2008 Bush / Cheney $4-per-gallon gas, and The Great Recession that it triggered.

In the past, when the price of oil declines significantly, it has almost always predicted a significant near-term recession.

Michele Bachmann made the outrageous statement that with her as U.S. president, gasoline would fall below $2 per gallon at the pump. This is way beyond laughable. The last time gas was below $2 was after the terrible 2008 global recession, which blew a $15 Trillion hole in the U.S. economy. Many hard-working people could not afford to travel or transport their goods. 1,000 American trucking firms and 8 U.S. airlines went bankrupt.

The price of oil fell from the peak $147 per barrel in the summer of 2008, down to a well-below-market unsustainable $33 per barrel - resulting in short-term gas price below $2.

U.S. GDP fell 3.86% in the third quarter of 2008, and then 9% in the fourth quarter - the Worst U.S. Recession since the Great Depression.

To maintain $2 / gallon gasoline, the American GDP would have to continually fall over 3% per year - perpetual recession on the road toward economic and social suicide.

Is that what Michele Bachmann wants to impose on the entire world?

Would that make her as proud as the August 2011 Tea Party stock market crash did?

Today, the U.S. Dollar purchasing power (relative to the gold standard) is less one half of what it was when gasoline was below $2 per gallon at the end of 2008. $2 gas in 2013 would be like $1 gas in 2008 (Not very likely).

A major portion of Tea Party and Michele Bachmann's campaign funding bribes come from Koch brothers and other Big Oil interests. Michele preaches that she would miraculously cut gasoline pump price in half by (1) deregulating her oil-industry benefactors, and (2) encouraging significant increases in domestic Drill Baby Drill (nonsense).

The time required to find and bring new oil discoveries to the pump is about 8 years or more. Non-partisan government energy agencies predict that increased domestic drilling might reduce the price reduction of oil by only three cents by 2030. The American economy is likely to collapse long before then. Drill Baby Drill is the path toward HIGHER gasoline pump prices, and economic collapse.

All inexpensive shallow domestic U.S. oil was depleted decades ago. USA passed its Peak Oil Production in 1970.

New drilling (like BP Gulf of Mexico) must be very deep, which is very expensive compared to 1960's U.S. oil production before we hit Peak Oil and began to decline.

The rising price of Past Peak international oil is determined by the global marketplace supply and demand (plus greedy parasitic Wall Street speculation).

IF Michele's big oil company sponsors produce more domestic oil at a much-higher future cost, will they patriotically sell it to Americans for one half of the current pump price? HELL NO! The greedy big oil companies who corrupt all Tea Party politicians will sell their more-expensive oil to the highest bidder on the international marketplace:

Are U.S. Oil companies in business to patriotically provide petroleum products for extremely-wasteful American SUV's? Absolutely NOT !

Greedy oil company wealth-accumulation corporate charters clearly state that they are in business to make PROFIT (for their wealthy owners).

When America is consuming over 19 million barrels of oil per day, why do U.S. companies EXPORT three million barrels of finite past-peak oil per day? PROFIT!

Over two thirds of unpatriotic American oil exports leave the country from governor Rick Perry's Texas. The greedy oil industry owns low-I.Q. illiterate Rick Perry. He has received $12 million in direct political bribes from oil companies, PLUS several times more than that from anonymous super PAC's, as a result of the corrupt Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

The American Petroleum Institute published their wish list of highly-profitable environmentally-damaging deregulation policy changes for the USA. Rick Perry re-published the API report as his energy plan for America. Tea Party politician total oil-industry corruption is transparently obvious.

 

In 2009, the U.S. oil company profit from refining one gallon of diesel fuel was $.39 (about 10% of the retail price).

In 2010, the profit it rose to $.64 per gallon (about 16%). Oil companies did not build new refineries.

Did YOUR net income increase 64% on the same capital investment in only one year? Are oil company profits in any way fair or equitable?

In contrast to big oil 16% profit margin, the profit for people who assemble the Apple iPhone is only 1%.

Many high-volume successful large American businesses do quite well on less than 5% profit margin.

WalMart is growing rapidly with less than a 4% profit margin. Why do greedy oil companies need 16% per gallon?

Are oil company huge profits for the Top 1% of the American plutocracy in any way justified, when nationwide unemployment remains over 9%?

The top 5 U.S. oil companies' profit for the first half of 2011 was $71 Billion.

What earthly justification is there for ultra-corrupt Republicans to insist on paying them Billions of dollars in totally-unnecessary ongoing taxpayer subsidies?

We tolerate a reverse "Robbing Hood" big-oil economy - Oil companies regressively steal from the poor to give to the Top 1% of wealth-accumulation oppressors.

Is this at all fair? Is it competitive is today's world? Will unrealistic, unpatriotic, greedy profit margins destroy the American economy soon?

Almost every product Americans buy is transported to us on petroleum-powered trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes. Outrageously-profitable big oil companies essentially have a difficult-to-change infrastructure monopoly. They own our government and our economy. People who vote for oil-corrupted politicians help accelerate America's rapid decline.

The oil industry is the most profitable, greedy, wealth-accumulation business on the planet. They are the world's largest source of political corruption (especially the Koch brothers, Exxon, and BP USA). The U.S. Congress SUBSIDIZES their immoral oppressive regressive profits. Tea Party Republicans refuse to end the unnecessary Ronald Reagan oil company subsidies. Burning oil is shortsighted, unhealthy, and unsustainable, as is the entire U.S. failing economy.

Should taxpayers borrow Trillions of dollars from our grandchildren to increase our addiction to rapidly-diminishing supplies of oil?

74% of Americans polled (including a majority of Republican voters) want to end all subsidies for immorally-profitable oil companies.

Should we STOP subsidizing our suicidal addiction to unsustainable fossil fuels, and divert that money toward building a sustainable future?

Should we continue to subsidize fat-cat big-oil profiteers who insanely EXPORT finite, past-peak, nearly-exhausted, American oil ? ? ?

 

Oil-addicted Americans want lower oil prices. When our oil-corrupted government subsidizes big oil, our addiction to unsustainable oil increases. We buy more cars, trucks, machines, trains, ships and airplanes that depend on declining oil supplies, instead of investing in proven long-term-sustainable energy solutions. Growing demand makes oil prices and inflation increase. The value of the buying power U.S. dollar rapidly declines. Imports cost more. Our energy security decreases. We transfer trillions of dollars of net worth to oil-rich countries that often provide funds to terrorists who want to destroy us. Oil executives get richer, while 99.9% of Americans suffer greatly. Summer 2008 $4 / gallon gas triggered the 2008 Great Recession, which blew a $15 Trillion hole in the U.S. economy.

Is there ANY rational justification for subsidizing oil companies - the most profitable business on Earth today?

We must immediately STOP subsidizing everything that is clearly unsustainable, and allow the market to determine what is best

The ONLY energy subsidies should be for the development of non-polluting, sustainable, free-fuel energy source infrastructure

 

Americans are used to paying well-below-worldwide-average prices for insanely-subsidized unsustainable gasoline

The global demand for petroleum products is growing rapidly every year. Many countries are used to paying $7 to $8 per gallon for gasoline and diesel fuel. They do NOT drive grossly-inefficient American SUV's. (They make much better energy conservation decisions than Americans do. Many countries now have strong tax incentives to phase out petroleum-based transportation.)

In 2011, U.S. oil companies can transport three million barrels a day of American oil to other emerging prosperous countries and MAKE MORE PROFIT than they can by selling it in the USA. American oil company exports are rapidly accelerating (to the growing unpatriotic detriment of all U.S. oil consumers).

U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu accurately stated that to solve the American energy crisis, we need to allow the price of oil to rise to be equal to the global fair market price. Oil-corrupted Republicans ridiculed that idea (since it would reduce the U.S. demand for oil, and reduce their bribes from big oil companies).

If the price of gasoline and diesel in America rose to the worldwide average, oil companies would STOP EXPORTING AMERICAN OIL TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

If the U.S. price at the pump somehow fell to only $2 per gallon, OIL EXPORTS WOULD DRAMATICALLY INCREASE! Is that what USA needs?

Michele Bachmann, and other DRILL BABY DRILL IDIOTS, do NOT have the first clue how the real-world oil industry is based on PROFIT. You did NOT see any oil industry advertisements saying: "Elect Michele Bachmann and we will lower the price of gasoline to half of our production costs."

The shortsighted Republican Keystone XL environmental-disaster pipeline project will increase U.S. oil exports and oil company profits, while badly damaging the Earth and the American economy.

 

Michele Bachmann, voted against ending the billions of dollars a year of unnecessary taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies - the most profitable industry in the history of mankind.

Let's suppose that oil-corrupted Bachmann continues down the path toward big-government socialism of the oil industry. Perhaps she would increase the taxpayer subsidy of oil companies to a Trillion dollars a year to bring the pump price down to $2 / gallon. (1) Where would the Trillion dollars come from? And (2) Would $2 gas cause Americans to waste even more of the world's past-peak declining oil supply, so we would run out altogether even sooner?

Does anyone who ever supported Michele Bachmann have a functional brain? Apparently NOT!

Although Michele was once the front runner the stupid Tea Party, when the Truth became apparent, her staff left her campaign, and the Tea Party asked her to withdraw from the presidential race - She became a huge embarrassment for the "Anyone but Romney" Tea Party terrorists, as did Rick Perry, and Herman Cain.

Anyone who believes Michele Bachmann's $2-gas insanity is a dumber fool than she obviously is. (Much more detail about Michele's endless Big Lies below)

(9) 2011 U.S. GDP growth fell to only 1.6%, as a direct result of the recent dysfunctional-federal-government stock market crash and federal spending cuts.

Tea Party Republican obstructionism resulted in half-a-million federal, state, and local job losses, including police, firemen, and teachers.

For 60 years, essentially every time GDP growth fell below 2%, there has been a recession immediately thereafter.

The next recession with negative GDP growth (in 2011 / 2012?) may be worse than The 1930's Great Depression.

 

Morgan Stanley slashed its global growth forecast for 2011 and 2012, saying the U.S. and the eurozone were "dangerously close to a recession . . . over the next 6 - 12 months . . . it won't take much in the form of additional shocks to tip the balance. A negative feedback loop between weak growth and soggy asset markets now appears to be in the making in Europe and the US."

In contrast, Morgan Stanley left its 2011 growth forecast for China unchanged at 9% - China continues rapid growth and prosperity, while the U.S. and eurozone nose dive.

If business-as-usual is rapidly declining - DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT - We are way overdue for radical reinvention of the U.S. economy, which oppresses the world.

(10) The U.S. Trade Deficit rose in June 2011 to $53.07 billion from $50.83 billion in May. The rise in the trade deficit is bad news for the American economy, and the new level is VERY DANGEROUS. It increased 4.4% in only one month, and it was much worse than the $48.0 billion consensus expectation. Wall Street has been irrationally optimistic about the American economic recovery. Domestic manufacturing is continuing to decline, as greedy un-American corporations ship everything overseas. On a year-over-year basis, our total trade deficit was up 13.2% from $46.89 billion a year ago. The trade deficit is a measure of sending U.S. technology, jobs, and great wealth outside of our country, reducing domestic investment, jobs, and tax revenues - driving us ever deeper in unpayable debt.

As our imports increase, and the value of the U.S. dollar plummets ever faster,
everything is costing us more, and our standard of living continues to decline

(11) Summer 2011 developments demonstrate that the global economy is in a "dangerous new phase . . . The stakes are clear: we risk seeing the fragile recovery derailed." - Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund managing director - August 27 The fundamental problem is that in advanced economies, weak growth and weak balance sheets (of governments, financial institutions, and households) are feeding negatively on each other. Balance sheet problems will worsen, fiscal sustainability will be threatened, and policy instruments will lose their ability to sustain the recovery.

Our current downward economic trends are CLEARLY UNSUSTAINABLE
Something drastic must change very rapidly, very soon

These large marketplace signals (and more) are no small economic speed bump
THE WORST IS YET TO COME !

The recent stock market decline was not flash-crash panic selling - It began before the S&P Credit Rating downgrade. It was an orderly sell off by investors around the world who have good reason to believe that the dysfunctional do-nothing U.S. government and greedy corporations do NOT have a clue how to deal with our current suicidal economic crises.

More unpayable debt and creating trillions of new dollars out of thin air are the SOURCE of the crises, not the SOLUTION.

The world is aware of a potential near-term U.S. and European economic collapse, and the probable global impact.

The G7 and G20 promised to do everything possible to prevent worldwide monetary collapse - Their track record is abysmal.

Can the G7, G20, and Ben Bernanke do enough to stop the imminent economic tsunami devastation? We will soon see.

 

President Obama made a familiar blame-shifting speech about the rapid economic decline during his watch, but there is little indication in 2011 that America's dysfunctional divided partisan politicians have changed ANY of their Democrat, Republican, or Tea Party intransigent talking points, or that a rational solution for the delicate American (and global) economy is in the foreseeable future. "It often takes more courage to change ones opinion than to keep it." - Willy Brandt

 

On August 11, 2011, President Obama spoke at Holland, Johnson Controls, Michigan and the DJIA rebounded 423 points. He discussed what he is doing from the executive branch that does not require congressional approval. Barack also outlined specific proposals that will require the Congress to act. He promised a long-overdue detailed specific job creation plan in September. http://www.whiteouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/08/11/remarks-president-johnson-controls-inc

"There is nothing wrong with our country. There is something wrong with our politics. . . . The only thing keeping us back is our politics. The only thing preventing these bills from being passed is the refusal of some folks in Congress to put the country ahead of party. There are some in Congress right now who would rather see their opponents lose than see America win. And that has to stop. It's got to stop. We're supposed to all be on the same team, especially when we're going through tough times. We can't afford to play games - not right now, not when the stakes are so high for our economy."

 

The Rapidly-Rising Price of Gold

The rapid rise of the price of gold above $1888 USD per ounce on August 19, 2011 was a crystal-clear window into the truth. The free-market price of gold trumps the economic lies and deceit being portrayed by inept central bankers (Bernanke, et.al.), corrupt politicians, the greedy corporations that own Congress, and by billion-dollar-per-year Wall Street hedge-fund managers and investment advisors.

Central banks can NOT create gold out of thin air - the way they do our worthless fiat-currency U.S. dollars. The U.S. Constitution STILL says that gold and silver are the ONLY legal tender in the USA. No Amendment or legislative bill has ever changed that persistent truth. Worthless paper and electronic dollars are clearly unconstitutional. Creating money out of thin air is clearly criminal behavior, and yet, the federal government and central banker criminals go unpunished.

 

Section 4 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution emphatically states: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, shall not be questioned." Beyond any shadow of doubt, those in Congress who voted against paying our legal debt obligations and promises are TRAITORS who violated their Oath Of Office to defend the U.S. Constitution.

The criminal impeachable U.S. government is now in direct violation of multiple points of our Constitution. The Oath Of Office is often violated with arrogant impunity by almost ALL U.S. officials. 82% of Americans disagree with what the U.S. Congress is doing. They have ceased to represent the people, and they only represent big-money contributors to their campaigns.

When baby boomers were growing up, they were taught to fear Communists. In college, they fought against the senseless Vietnam war. Today's 20-somethings fear what their own government is doing to their nation, and to their children's future.

Three quarter's of Americans polled said that they would like to remove 100% of today's politicians and start all over again.

Will Congress vote to impeach themselves? - They have made themselves above the Law and the Constitution.

 

Our current catastrophic crises were created by both political parties over decades. No single party incurred all of our $14.5 Trillion of unpayable debt - which is STILL increasing at well-over-a-trillion-dollars per year - for the foreseeable future.

At the current unsustainable pace, U.S. national unpayable debt will DOUBLE IN ONLY TEN YEARS

Long before that can happen, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and others will STOP LOANING USA MONEY TO SUPPORT OUR RECKLESS SPENDING SPREE. We are on the very verge of that deadly cliff today. Our toes hang over the self-imposed suicidal point of no return.

A Balanced Budget (like USA had under Bill Clinton) would now require over a 40% immediate reduction in government spending, which would destroy millions more American jobs, result in widespread starvation, reduce tax revenue, and greatly-increase unpayable government liabilities (like unemployment insurance, etc.)

45 million Americans are already on Food Stamps, just to avoid starvation (one out of seven Americans - an increase of 11% above one year earlier). These 45 million would love to have a full-time living-wage job with basic survival benefits for their families. Despite fantastic new technology and increased productivity, our greedy capitalistic system cannot provide for hard-working people. What will happen when 90 million Americans are on Food Stamps (soon)?

The steep downward trend is clearly unsustainable. Can radical revolution of the working-class masses be very far away? We HOPE it will be non-violent.

Given America's current circumstances, there is no conceivable political / economic scenario that will avoid serious near-term pain, and avoid a deep recession (which will probably be much worse than in 2008).

Cut, Cut, Cutting Government Spending may be sound fiscal policy, but it will put millions more Americans out of work, devalue real estate and the almost-worthless U.S. Dollar, and make it even more difficult for America to compete in the global marketplace.

The international market price of gold is a clear indicator of the rapidly-declining purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar

No short-sighted dysfunctional gridlocked government partisan politics, or policy, controls the free-market price of gold.

The intrinsic worldwide REAL value of gold has been constant since pharaohs ruled Egypt.

When it takes more U.S. dollars to buy one ounce of gold, it does NOT mean that gold is worth more - IT MEANS THAT THE FIAT-CURRENCY U.S. DOLLAR IS WORTH LESS ! ! !

The full faith and credit of USA has been BADLY DAMAGED BY OUR CORRUPT ARGUMENTATIVE CONGRESS. Some financial institutions are predicting accelerating devaluation of the U.S. Dollar, causing the price of gold to rises above $2,500 / oz in a year or so. IF this happens, the U.S. Dollar will be worth only 10% of what it was when Bush / Cheney took office in 2001.

There is no limit to America's current insane suicidal economic irresponsibility

The whole world is rapidly learning the truth about the collapse of the U.S. Dollar - You can already see the irrefutable truth in the USD price of gold. When Bush / Cheney took office in 2001, gold was $250 USD / ounce. At $1788 / oz on August 10, 2011, the purchasing power of dollars (relative to the price of gold and other fixed-value commodities) was worth only 14% of what dollars were worth one decade earlier - when Bill Clinton had a budget surplus, and USA was paying off the previous Reagan and G.H.W. Bush national debt.

There is absolutely NO indication that the dysfunctional divided 2011 U.S. government is capable of making the radical changes necessary to avoid the U.S. Dollar becoming worth essentially ZERO in the near future. The U.S. Dollar has undeniably already lost 86% of its value (past tense). Losing the remaining 14.5% is only one small step in the same direction. Accumulating and holding dollars is an extremely-dumb thing to do.

The infantile argumentative handling of the unprecedented 2011 U.S. Debt Ceiling crisis, and the first-time-ever S&P downgrade of the U.S. Credit Rating, were trivial events compared to the predictable (2011 / 2012?) collapse of the U.S. Dollar.

As our previous Emerald Eco-City predictions continue to come true - THE WORST IS YET TO COME.

There is very-little chance of a dramatic economic recovery, as we cut, cut, cut, investment in our children's future, and burden them with ever-increasing unpayable levels of debt and unfunded entitlement benefits (without means testing for billionaires).

Those who are aware will prepare - Those who do not prepare will soon despair

Understanding the underlying cause and effect of the near-term collapse of the U.S. Dollar does NOT fit in a 30-second sound bite, or a 128-character tweet. It takes an attention span greater than five minutes. Appreciating the Emerald Eco-City shovel-ready solutions for our impending worldwide economic catastrophe will require in-depth thought by open-minded intelligent leaders. (It has taken 3 decades to develop the details.)

Our World Has Great UNREALIZED POTENTIAL -
IF we prepare for the predictable collapse and rebirth

For every problem we discuss on this website, we offer a Superior Shovel-Ready Solution - Current Crises Are HUGE OPPORTUNITIES for Significant Society-Wide Improvements - The consequences of failure are rapidly becoming more clear day-by-day

The obvious solutions to our current problems have been ignored for decades, resulting in the endless destructive disasters that we face today. The world MUST recognize the "cause and effect" source of our many problems, and make radical changes immediately.

Agile adaptability is essential. Understanding our issues will be the first step. Sometimes, addicts must hit rock bottom before they have the motivation to make necessary major lifestyle improvements.

I AM STILL AN OPTIMIST, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary

I grew up in America with all of the bountiful gifts of Freedom, Liberty, great education, wonderful parents, and explosive growth of never-before unprecedented technology and productivity advances.

There were tears of great pride and inspiration when I watched 12 Americans walk on the Moon in real time, and USA establish a used car lot up there with five innovative electric vehicles. (smile)

I thought America's Space Age and Abundant Clean Energy Future had Enormous Immediate Potential, but I was quite wrong - Business-as-usual, status-quo obstructionists, and corrupt politicians badly dropped the ball, and failed to follow through after Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971, and the 19973 - 1979 OPEC oil crises made double-digit inflation explode.

There were emotional tears in my eyes as I watched the last few Space Shuttle flights, with nothing on the near horizon to replace the obsolete 1980 space technology. The current head of NASA says that we badly mismanaged our space future. We now send money, technology, and jobs to Russia, just to hitch a ride to our Space Station - They raised their price for a one-person ticket to 465 million dollars.

How insane is that! America has REALLY dropped the ball, on the game that WE invented. America is sadly becoming a lazy third-world nation with respect to manufacturing, technology innovation, and exploration, but our children are great at tweeting, porn, and video games.

USA Peak Oil occurred exactly as predicted in 1970. The 1973-1979 OPEC oil embargoes triggered 600% gasoline price inflation in only 6 years ($.20 to $1.20 / gallon). Detroit FAILED to respond, and continued their downward decline (toward 2008 bankruptcy). Detroit still makes profit selling inefficient trucks and SUV's to gluttonous idiots, but Detroit loses money selling reasonable efficient cars that compete with Asia. Their terrible profit motives damage America, and yet American taxpayers had to bail them out so they can continue their deadly declining business-as-usual.

 

Eight U.S. Presidents PROMISED Energy Independence, but
EVERY LAST ONE FAILED TO DELIVER THEIR PROMISE

The price of imported energy costs U.S. jobs, which devalue houses,
and force our government and children into unpayable deep debt

Trace the cause-and-effect backwards, and you'll see that most of
today's many crises are based on insane energy policy corruption

The largest influence on American politics is big oil company bribes

Our most-corrupt politicians refuse to stop subsidizing the most-profitable companies in the world

Fraudulent campaign promises are evil crimes against voters

 

In stark contrast, I created, demonstrated, and presented pragmatic cost-effective Zero Energy Design® in 1979

The decades-old science of Zero Energy Design®, and the energy-independence recommendations of the U.S. Department of Energy, have been ignored by almost-all greedy, non-learning, business-as-usual, inefficient American companies.

To this very day, the U.S. STILL provides billions of dollars of immoral subsidies and tax breaks every year to the importers of foreign oil, who increase our deadly suicidal addiction, pollute the world, and provide huge funds to fanatical religious terrorists who want to destroy USA.

Gross mismanagement of unsustainable energy and environmental damage are arguably the most serious man-made problems that we face today. Unemployment and gigantic unpayable debt are merely current symptoms of high-prices unsustainable energy stupidity.

The unprecedented economic cost of imported oil, oil-business bribes of our congressmen, and our military expenditures to protect our foreign oil sources, have forces domestic spending cuts that have cost many millions of Americans their jobs, lifetime savings, and home foreclosures. Our oil-corrupted Republican House of Representatives SUBSIDIZES unsustainable oil addiction. Could any political policy thing be more INSANE or damaging to the majority of all Americans?

The Accelerating Radical Rate Of Progressive Technical and Social Innovation

Any observant person over thirty years old is aware that the rate of worldwide change is rapidly accelerating. It is a non-linear, exponential compound growth rate. There are endless reasons for this including: globalization, satellite-and-fiber-optics telecommunication, integrated circuit computer miniaturization / acceleration / cost reduction, the worldwide web / Internet, air-and-sea trade and transportation, supply / demand of finite non-renewable resources, etc. One innovation builds on another, making it ever-increasingly difficult for slow-moving society to keep up with the potential applications of fantastic new technology.

People around the world see the unsustainable irrational squanderlust American lifestyle and want it for themselves.

USA is a global role model of what NOT to do

Exploding first-time gasoline car sales in China and India are dramatic examples of worldwide suicidal societal trends.

There clearly is NOT enough oil available to meet predictable increases in demand. The same is true for all non-renewable resources (lithium, etc.).

China is spending 9% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on competitive-future infrastructures. America's infrastructure is obsolete, crumbling, and insufficiently maintained. USA needs to immediately spend over $2 Trillion just on our failing roads and bridges. America is spending less that 2% of GDP on investing in the future, and big-money-corrupted government wants to significantly reduce that. We could provide millions of good jobs for U.S. construction workers, IF our government would shift many billions of dollars of unneeded subsidies for oil companies and billionaires into building up our infrastructure for a superior future.

If 7 billion people on Earth started squandering finite non-renewable highly-polluting resources at the rate that Americans do, we would need the resources of more than 7 Earths, just to survive. Can compound economic growth continue much longer? NO!

If current population compound growth rates continue, there will soon be one person standing on every square meter of Earth, and no room for anyone to lay down to sleep.

SUCH A WORLD CANNOT POSSIBLY EVER EXIST - Something Dramatic Is About To Happen EVERYWHERE

What new forms of government and economy will be born from the ashes of the old? Have we learned anything at all?

Things MUST change dramatically, and the change must happen very soon - Faster than ever before in all of Earth's human history.

Today's outdated slow-to-change, suicidal, unsustainable empires MUST COLLAPSE, and make way for a more-sustainable, rational future.

Fantastic modern technology and greatly-improved productivity mean that humans have the POTENTIAL to live much-more-efficiently than ever before.

We already have the technology to totally eliminate poverty and unnecessary suffering around the world
BUT, do we have the compassion and love to make it happen quickly?

Gene Roddenberry's Compelling Vision: "Reality is incredibly larger, infinitely more exciting, than the flesh-and-blood vehicle we travel in here. The more you read science fiction, the more you realize that you and the universe are part of the same thing. Science knows still practically nothing about the real nature of matter, energy, dimension, or time; and even less about those remarkable things called LIFE and THOUGHT. But whatever the meaning and purpose of this universe, you are a legitimate part of it. And since you are part of the all that is, part of its purpose, there is more to you than just this brief speck of existence. You are just a visitor here in this time and this place, a traveler through it."

Accelerating Rate Of Progressive Social and Technological Innovation

Fantastic new technology and high productivity can solve many of our man-made mistakes

Avoid immature greed for immediate self gratification

Pursue profound pleasure in laying a solid foundation for the rest of your happy eternity

 

This entire website has NO Sales Pitch to sell anything

It has no mechanism to generate any revenue - It is just straight talk with free complete shovel-ready details about sustainable survivability. You may access it anonymously with complete privacy - and no spam of any kind whatsoever - guaranteed.

This is NOT a conventional money-making website. It is my free gift to you and to posterity. I am NOT a greedy profiteer. I do not need any money from you. Dollars will probably become worthless in the near future anyway. I love America's POTENTIAL. I want it to survive and thrive, and overcome all of our current criminal corruption. The solution will have to be a radical revival of what America stands for - Equitable, productive, shared prosperity in harmony with Nature, and with each other.

If you are or are not an American, I hope this material will help you avoid or mitigate our current calamity.

"Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for" - Socrates

 

In the 21st century, we live in an Apocalyptic Culture of many greedy profiteers. Hollywood makes billions of dollars with frightening realistic disaster movies. Once such images are in your brain, you begin to use them to make bad decisions. The subconscious mind cannot tell reality from perceived reality. Some people even use silly meaningless dreams (which contain images from Hollywood movie fiction), to guide their real-world decisions. These are NOT visions from God, but rather your own poor judgement in what you allow into your eyes, which drives vain imagination.

The New Testament Bloody Violent Book of Revelation frightened early Christians into believing that Armageddon would happen in their lifetime. Today's survivalists are still selling fallout shelters and radiation suits to hundreds of thousand of frightened fools, who refuse to help the world avoid potential predictable disaster.

Profiteering is most-certainly NOT our goal. We are very-aware of today's unsustainable negative trends, BUT our goal is to provide free details to you about what you can do to prepare. All you need to do is invest the time required to read, and then decide for yourself what you should do to prepare. This website sells nothing, but FREE HOPE for a better tomorrow.

 

The following is a large collection of detailed documentation from many credible sources that all point in the same direction

It is critical for you to understand the trends of man-made cause and effect, before you can develop your own personal plan for sustainable survival after the almost-unavoidable near-term (2011 / 2012?) economic cataclysm. No one can consistently predict the future with certainty. Exact timing is very difficult, BUT, many well-documented negative trends ARE quite clear.

An increasing number of authors are predicting the U.S. bond market downgrade and dollar collapse (including Bill Gross - the world's largest bond trader). Simply increasing our debt limit does NOT solve our burdensome deficit spending problem.

More debt is the opposite of the solution - DEBT IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM

Raising the Debt Ceiling is NOT a political success - It is FAILURE to live a sustainable lifestyle

No person or country can forever live above its means - The American debt experiment MUST FAIL (soon)

Debt is the opposite of freedom and liberty - DEBT IS INDENTURED SERVITUDE

If (WHEN) the dollar collapses (soon), there will be a global economic disaster

We saw a $15 Trillion preview in September 2008, and a Trillion-dollar small snapshot stock market decline in July 2011

The world has been warned many times about fiat currency debt, but continues its suicidal path at break-neck speed

 

We know of no other source than Emerald Eco-City offering comprehensive, self-sufficient, sustainable,
large-scale, shovel-ready solutions for AFTER the U.S. dollar predictably becomes useless (soon?)

See our comprehensive Emerald Eco-City "Table of Contents" on the right above

 

We cannot afford to sit back and wait for our self-serving gridlocked government, greedy bankers,
and corrupt corporations that created today's problems to correct them - They cannot

We must radically change our suicidal society from the ground up - one community cooperative at a time

We must recognize great value in the life-critical things that are NOT measured in dollars or GDP

 

The BAD NEWS is that we will have no money (which MAY help reduce the root of all evil).

If book entries say that you own a billion dollars, when dollars become worthless,
YOU ARE WORTHLESS:1,000,000,000 x 0 = 0

The wealthy who spent a lifetime oppressing the "have nots" will have negative net worth (very soon).

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme" - Mark Twain

Trees will still grow apples, but a $100 bill may not buy one apple in 2012

 

When dollars become worthless, The GOOD NEWS will be
that the rest of us will still have each other, apple trees,
and whatever humans have not destroyed of God's Great Green Garden of Eden

The future SUSTAINABLE solution is not hard to understand -
It is just VERY different from the suicidal way greedy people live today

In a world where dollars become worthless, your net worth will be what you offer community survival

Any friendships, relationships or contracts that are based only on dollars will be null and void

 

Profound Questions That Must Be Answered Tomorrow

What will you be able to trade for your local seasonal apples?

Petroleum-powered vehicles will be worthless - Will you own a bicycle?

Will someone nearby know how to build bicycles out of local resources?

Will you live within bicycle distance of where food is grown year round?

Will you have any near-by mutual-support friends at all?

Where are you investing your life energy today?

 

Since this material is voluminous and somewhat overwhelming, we have tried to make it more interesting and entertaining by adding many video clips, detailed charts, and some humor about how silly and stupid our suicidal business-as-usual is today. You can quickly find many more along similar lines from countless sources, with a simple Internet search. We hope that our effort in presenting this material to you will spark your own imagination, and inspire further immediate study for your self improvement, AND for the betterment and survival of all mankind.

 

The aware will prepare - The unaware who do not care and prepare WILL Despair

The dollar-collapse issues are non-trivial. So will be the solutions. When you complete this material you will be a better person - More valuable to your local community - Able to live a happier, abundant, more-prosperous life AFTER the U.S. Dollar collapses completely. Pay attention to the essentials.

We don't agree with every detail of every video that we reference, but we do find them thought provoking at the very least. Be open minded and judge for yourself.

If we can learn to laugh at our social stupidity, we can take long-overdue steps toward a superior sustainable set of comprehensive solutions.

"The biggest problem is not admitting that the country is (already) bankrupt"

"Remember, the agencies that gave USA bonds AAA ratings also gave
AAA ratings to the (bankrupt) Federal National Mortgage Association
and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation"
Representative Ron Paul, M.D. - U.S. Presidential Candidate

In a 2011 Rasmussen Reports Poll, Barack Obama received 41% and Ron Paul received 37%
Ron Paul says that the U.S. should NOT raise our debt ceiling, and deal with our bankruptcy
It will be very painful, but it will get even worse in the future

When you compare American unpayable-debt fiscal irresponsibility to other large nations, and our dysfunctional
divided ineffective government, U.S. bonds SHOULD have a lower credit rating than some better-managed nations
- This will increase our interest rates, and we hope it force USA to borrow less - and live within our means

In April 2011, Standards and Poors put the USA Credit Rating on their negative outlook watch list.
Bowles / Simpson identified $9 Trillion in USA debt reduction opportunities.

S&P warned that if USA did not have a realistic plan to reduce debt by $4 Trillion over ten years,
they would downgrade America's AAA credit rating for the first time in history,
which they did as they promised on August 5, 2011, when warring Congressional opponents only
reduced deficit spending by $917 billion over ten years - Too Little, Too Late
(70% of which would not take place until 2017 - long after the collapse of the U.S. dollar)

Based on direct comparisons, USA is now formally a SECOND RATE DECLINING NATION -
ranked number 20 among the following nations which have superior S&P Ratings and Outlooks:

S&P has good reason to believe that Liechtenstein, Isle of Man, and Guernsey should have a better credit rating than declining dysfunctional USA

U.S politicians and billionaires (like Warren Buffet) say that S&P is wrong - $14.5 Trillion in debt is no problem at all - Do you agree?

American debt is still rapidly increasing, while our GDP is nearly flat or declining - USA debt to GDP ratio is getting worse every month.
Raising the national debt ceiling is the OPPOSITE OF THE SOLUTION.

Standard and Poors explained their downgrade of USA credit rating in detail on
http://www.standardandpoors.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobheadername3=MDT-Type&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobheadervalue2=inline%3B+filename%3DUS_Downgraded_AA%2B.pdf&blobheadername2=Content-Disposition&blobheadervalue1=application%2Fpdf&blobkey=id&blobheadername1=content-type&blobwhere=1243942957443&blobheadervalue3=UTF-8

"We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process. We also believe that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration agreed to this week falls short of the amount ($4 Trillion) that we believe is necessary to stabilize the general government debt burden by the middle of the decade. Our lowering of the rating was prompted by our view on the rising public debt burden and our perception of greater policy making uncertainty, consistent with our criteria."

America's serious debt problem problem cannot be solved without reducing entitlement spending, and increasing revenue (by eliminated detrimental tax loopholes).

Almost all intransigent extremely-corrupt Congressional Republicans have signed Grover Norquist's billionaire-subsidy pledge to never increase taxes for the top 1% of wage earners. This infantile stupidity weighed heavily on thew S&P downgrade decision. Ronald Regan promised to balance the budget, but he raised taxes 11 time and still increased the national debt three-fold - more than any previous president. George H. W. Bush proclaimed "Read my lips - NO NEW TAXES" but he was forced to eat his words, and lost his presidency. Today's Tea Party Terrorists are totally non-learning entities.

We believe that S&P gave USA clear warning about their downgrade criteria, and that their downgrade was predictable and well deserved.
BUT, will politicians merely point their finger at everyone but themselves? Will they do anything to correct their ongoing fiscal foolishness?

Bill Clinton gave America a budget surplus. Bush / Cheney squandered the progress that Clinton made, and increased our national debt two-and-a-half times. Obama failed to keep his campaign promises, and allowed congressional corruption to continue Bush / Cheney fiscal insanity. America's debt crisis can be traced back to bad policies in response to 1973 - 1979 OPEC embargoes. The year since Clinton left office (in moral disgrace) have been particularly bad. The 2010 Tea Party election destroyed any hope for USA to reach a collaborative bipartisan solution to anything.

In 2011, America became a badly-divided, finger-pointing, gridlocked, ungovernable, rapidly-declining nation - led by suicidal fools.

Avoiding U.S. dollar economic collapse is highly unlikely. Credit rating agencies will probably further downgrade the U.S. credit rating, due to the congressional debt-reduction super committee of 6 Democrats and 6 intransigent Republicans from the House and Senate failing to reach a rational deficit reduction. S&P stated that their goal of a ten-year $1.2 trillion reduction was not nearly enough. At least least $4 Trillion was required. An $11 Trillion deficit reduction would be required to balance the budget, and even more to be able to pay down our burdensome $15 Trillion national debt crisis. There is NO HOPE OF A RATIONAL SOLUTION ON THE HORIZON.

 

 

Every time Donald Trump digs himself into a fiscally-irresponsible hole of deep unpayable debt, he defaults on his loans, claims bankruptcy, does not pay his debts (steals from his creditors), starts all over again, and continues to deceive those non-learning fools who invest in his many fraudulent financial scams. Some insane idiots thought that this evil behavior would make Donald Trump a superior U.S. President.

Donald Trump said that Congress should allow America to default and go bankrupt
(The ethnocentric fool also claimed that Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya, along with other Tea Party birther bigots)

 

Representative Mike Ross has been a conservative centrist member of Congress for 12 years.
He is so fed up and frustrated with corrupt Congress that he will not run for another term.
Ross is not collecting campaign bribes to run for office ever again. He said:
"If America must decide who gets paid what we promised to pay them,
the first people that should NOT get paid are Congress"

 

America Is Already Bankrupt - We are way past the debt default tipping point
We cannot afford the bloated ineffective government that we currently have -
We cannot ever pay back the money we borrowed from China, Japan, and OPEC

Our international statistics show that we are getting many anonymous hits on this webpage from CHINA
Are the greedy American leaders who are destroying U.S.-Dollar-based economy paying any attention at all?

We know for certain that China-sponsored hackers are successfully performing espionage on American
corporation trade secrets, and obtaining information from Top Secret government agency files

The detailed documentation about America's dysfunctional divided government, and extreme mismanagement
of the U.S.-Dollar-based economy is readily available in the public domain to any interested viewer or country

China is NOT stupid - The corrupt leaders of American politics, and our greedy corporations, ARE
China is rapidly growing their economy, while America rushes headlong toward total collapse

 

We can no longer keep the American promises to our senior citizens -
We've squandered the money they paid into the Social Security Trust Fund

Default and great financial trauma can no longer be avoided
Raising our debt ceiling can NOT solve our deficit-spending crisis
INCREASING our debt can only make our debt crisis WORSE
If we do not increase our debt limit, and we default, interest rates will explode
No matter what Congress does, millions of Americans will suffer great hardship

There can be no soft landing - Do you care? Are you prepared?
Will you get rich from bankruptcy, like Donald Trump, OR DIE?

 

Since the Bush / Cheney economic collapse and great recession, taxpayers have bailed out
parasitic big banks and badly-mismanaged mega-corporations with Trillions of dollars

Many of the evil ones who received billions in big bailouts are now sitting on large
cash reserves, instead of creating jobs for 15 million Americans who WANT to work

Suppose America's credit rating predictably drops below AAA -
Interest rates will rapidly rise for everyone - This will greatly damage all borrowers,
BUT THOSE WITH LARGE CASH RESERVES WILL MAKE MORE INTEREST!

Who do you think WANTS America's credit rating to be downgraded (despite what they say)?

Man-made avoidable crises (like the USA debt crisis) are designed and motivated by
the greedy rich, to make them richer at the expense of the debt-enslaved working class

 

On July 15, 2011 U.S. President Barack Obama and the Democrat and Republican leaders of the U.S.
Senate and House of Representatives said that America Is On The Edge Of Armageddon,
because of self-serving partisan political posturing and manipulative brinksmanship

When both dominant political parties firmly state that the other party is evil,
greedy, and corrupt, then both of them are probably quite correct

We have been documenting total collapse trends for years - Do you agree with me?

 

 

USA may soon collapse from squanderlust deficit spending and fiat currency corruption

IF (WHEN) it does, how will we survive? We won't have any money, but we will still have each other
It is NOT all GLOOM and DOOM - There is good reason for HOPE, but the solution will be non-trivial

 

In 2011, top economists say that: "The U.S. economy is no longer self sustaining"

America does NOT have a clue how to live within our means on only our unsustainable natural resources

 

Since 2008, USA has not been able to survive without irresponsible fiscal-and-monetary stimulus from huge taxpayer subsidies. A direct measure of this is our inability to provide jobs with a living wage for tens of millions or our citizens. Unsustainable outrageous deficit spending has badly burdened our grandchildren - in a way that they can never repay.

Increasing America's national debt from $14 Trillion to $17 Trillion in only two years from 2011 through 2012, is the exact opposite of what we need to do.

How long will YOUR family survive if you have to borrow over 40% of your monthly spending from your grandchildren (as insane unsustainable USA is doing today)? The long-overdue radical revolution is going to be traumatic for the multitudes

 

Any nation based on unpayable debt, inflation and devaluation is
an abomination demonstration - with no imagination or illumination

We must MANDATE a Balanced Budget, and eliminate immoral borrowing altogether !

The real issue is how do we get there from where we are today without deep depression

 

We must find a reasonable way to STOP raising the U.S. government maximum debt limit - $14+ Trillion of immoral generational debt is already unpayable - $16.7 Trillion has been approved for the next year and a half - The U.S. economy is likely to collapse before we get to $16.7 Trillion in unpayable burdensome debt.

When we get to the point where no one will loan USA money, we will have to immediately and traumatically reduce spending by more than 40%. which will destroy many businesses and jobs, drastically reduce tax revenues, and cascade off the cliff into total deadly economic collapse

 

Professor Peter Bernholz (author of "Monetary Regimes and Inflation") explained the historical progress of hyperinflation that results from irresponsible money creation:

"Hyperinflations are always caused by public budget deficits, which are largely financed by money creation. The figures demonstrate clearly that deficits amounting to 40% or more of expenditures cannot be maintained. They lead to high inflation and hyperinflations."

"Hyperinflations are not caused by aggressive central banks. They are caused by irresponsible and profligate legislatures that spend far beyond their means and by accommodative central banks that lend a helping hand to governments."

Will Rogers - popular Great Depression country-boy wit and wisdom: "I was raised on a Cattle Ranch and I never saw or heard of a Ranchman going broke (except) the ones who had borrowed money. You can't break a man that don't borrow; he may not have anything, but Boy! he can look the World in the face and say, 'I don't owe you Birds a nickel.' You will say, 'What will all the Bankers do?' I don't care what they do. Let 'em go to work, if there is any job any of them could earn a living at. Banking and After-Dinner Speaking are two of the most non-essential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform if they are."

 

Stop Spending Our Future! - Irresponsible Current Collapse Crisis

 

January 27, 2011: The head of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) testified before the Senate Budget Committee that our current U.S. $1.6 Trillion per year budget deficit is about to send us into a "fiscal crisis."

It could double our national debt in only 10 more years. Reducing our enormous budget deficit by ONLY $3 Trillion barely begins to help.

If (WHEN) USA defaults on our unpayable debt obligations, our credit rating will plummet further, investors will not want to loan America any money, and interest rates for EVERYTHING will rapidly rise. Our government will NOT be able to respond to natural or man-made emergencies; interest payments on old debt will consume much more of taxpayer funds, ALL government benefits and services will have to be slashed by over 40%, and taxes will have to rise significantly - To Prevent Total Bankruptcy. Millions will die a painful death.

The recent riots that we've seen in Europe and the Middle East are coming soon to America

"Gang Of Six" member, and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad said:

"Spending as a share of our national income is at the highest level in 60 years (since WW II)

"Revenue as a share of our national income is at its lowest level in 60 years

"No wonder that we are headed for the largest deficit ever" . . .

"CBO's report should be a red light flashing to the nation

"Our fiscal situation is serious and becoming more so

"We are at a Critical Juncture –
"We are borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend

"This is UTTERLY UNSUSTAINABLE and the sooner we address it,
the sooner we come to grips with it, the better"

 

The sins of the parents will be visited on their children down to the third and fourth generation - Exodus 20:5

If one generation is 15 years, do you think that our offspring 60 years from now will still be paying off the unsustainable debt created by the extremely-sinister selfish, non-caring baby boom generation? Will the American economy collapse in less than 60 years, when our U.S. dollars are worthless and no one in the world will be dumb enough to loan USA money for endless immoral deficit spending that our grandchildren cannot possibly ever pay back? How will this impact their future standard of living? Is a major reduction in lifespan the only answer to today's suicidal unsustainable spend-thrift obese gluttony?

Evil parents borrow, spend, waste and destroy, so their children's children will suffer

Caring parents plant fruit trees for their grandchildren - Johnny Appleseed

"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past."
- Thomas Jefferson (Third U.S. President and author of The Declaration of Independence)
Jefferson planted 1200 fruit trees at Monticello, and grew 250 kinds of vegetables

It is getting hard to find American dreamers laying the foundation for a sustainable future

 

Index of U.S. Dollar exchange rate against other major currencies
Bush / Cheney Republican Documented Destruction of the Dollar

The June 2011 United Nations "World Economic Situation and Prospects 2011" report says:

"The (U.S.) dollar has continued its downward trend against other major currencies. Despite lingering risks associated with sovereign debt levels in some European economies, the euro appreciated against the dollar . . . buttressed by the expectation of faster monetary tightening in the euro area. This trend is expected to continue until late 2011, when the United States Federal Reserve (Fed) may raise interest rates. . . . .

"The downward trend over the longer term is associated with the dollar's role as the world's major reserve currency and the uneven global growth exacerbating the global imbalances. The imbalances have led to cumulative increases in external liabilities of the United States as its growth pattern induces large trade deficits, which, have a counterpart in large trade surpluses, elsewhere, such as Germany, Japan, China and other major Asian exporters and oil-exporting countries. The large external debt position of the United States is keeping downward pressure on the dollar.

"The global imbalances narrowed as a result of the collapse in world trade and the aggregate demand compression. With the recovery they have started to widen again, albeit moderately. The deficit of the United States declined from its peak of 6% of GDP before the recession to a trough of 2.7% in 2009 and widened again to 3.2% of GDP in 2010, and is expected to stay at about 3.5% of GDP in 2011-2012.

"China's surplus declined from the peak of 10.6% of GDP in 2007 to about 5% in 2010, and is expected to narrow further to below 4% in 2012, as a result of the accumulated appreciation of the renminbi (yuan) in recent years and policies to support domestic consumption. Germany's surplus has also narrowed slightly, but has remained at about 6% of GDP in 2010, and is expected to stay above 5% in the near outlook. However, the current account for the euro area as a whole is approximately in balance. Japan's surplus stood at about 3% of GDP in 2010, and is expected to decline notably in 2011-2012. The surplus of oil-exporting countries in West Asia and North Africa decreased from more than 15% of GDP in the years before 2008 to about 2% in 2009. Th e surpluses have since recovered slightly but are expected to stay below 5% in 2011-2012.

"The most recent wave of dollar devaluation has also been driven by other factors, including interest rate differentials between the United States and other economies, and growing concern about the sustainability of the public debt of the United States, half of which is held by foreigners. Measured by the exchange rate index of the dollar vis-à-vis the basket of other major currencies, the dollar has reached the lowest level since the 1970s. The depreciation of the dollar against the currencies of many emerging economies has also been significant. As a result, further (expected) losses of the book value of the vast foreign reserve holdings could trigger a crisis of confidence in the reserve currency, which would put the entire global financial system at risk."

 

U.N. says that the demise of the dollar puts the entire world at risk

The faith-based worthless fiat dollar is not just suicidal for the USA

 

Think for a minute . . . Why is this not the #1 headline on every news channel?

If the U.N. report is correct, 2011 / 2012 may see the largest
global economic disaster in the entire history of all humanity
WE CANNOT KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD ANY FARTHER

If the average American really understood the coming near-term collapse,
then every town hall should be filled trying to reverse the current trend

Media Moguls (like Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Sumner Redstone, and Steve Forbes)
do NOT want their reporters to broadcast the TRUTH, since it would
accelerate the total collapse of the faith-based worthless fiat dollar, which
is the source of their huge net worth, and their power over the people

"You will learn the Truth and the Truth will set you free" - John 8:32

Occasionally, there are times when it seems there may be a little bit of justice
in the world. Hitler, Mussolini, Hussein, and bin Laden are a few examples.

Rupert Murdoch is the world's largest and most-influential Media Mogul.
He has more high-profile radical right-wing Republicans on his payroll
than the Republican National Committee.

When Rupert applied for U.S. citizenship, it was granted overnight, while
11 million who legally applied for citizenship have been denied for years.

Rupert IS a King Maker - Conservatives must pay homage and tribute to him.
The radical Tea Party revolution owes Murdoch's Fox News their very existence.

After over a decade of corrupt criminal influence peddling and international
crimes in the highest of places, Murdoch turned the Republican Party
into a Supercilious Circus of wing-nut ridiculous clowns of the gullible.

I was ever so delighted that the Murdoch family and his lieutenants
are finally under international criminal investigation.

Rupert Murdoch committed perjury to British Parliament:
"It's not my responsibility - Other people lied to me."
If you delegate responsibility to criminals YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.

The value of Rupert's News Corp. stock plunged $6 BILLION in only 5 days

 

 

3-Minute Video - Fiat Currency Humor Time:

For half a century, Ray Stevens entertained millions of people with his quirky
sense of humor, and silly music videos. Ray won 11 Grammy Awards.

We don't agree with all of Ray's politics, but we strongly believe that
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."

Of course we now know that fiscal irresponsibility and
deficit spending are BIPARTISAN universal unethical immorality, but
"once you reject any sense of decency it just gets easier and easier"

Laugh out loud with us, at us! (and then do something serious about it)

Ray Stevens' Budget Plan

 

 

The "Debt Ceiling" is America's faux maximum national credit card limit

It is a "faux" limit because every time we reach it, we raise it

If you keep raising your own personal debt limit every year, you have no spending restraint at all. Debt payments MUST forever increase. This is absolutely unsustainable.

Families know they cannot keep increasing their credit card limit forever - Eventually they will go hopelessly bankrupt.

Everything costs more when you have to borrow money for it. It is very depressing to have to make endless payments on things that you bought on credit and used up long ago. Corrupt American legislators ignore this plain fact, and blindly hope that it does not apply to OUR government. Surprise, IT DOES!

Suppose a family sits down to try to balance their budget. Their annual family income is $50,000 per year. They add up what they spent over the last 12 months, and find that it was $80,000. They add up their credit card debts, and discover that they total a whopping $350,000. These are the irresponsible ratios of the insane, unsustainable U.S. government budget today.

You can argue if we should cut spending OR find legal ways to increase our income, BUT NEITHER ONE ALONE WILL PREVENT NEAR-TERM BANKRUPTCY.

America is way past the catastrophic deep-debt tipping point

A non-traumatic soft landing is no longer possible, regardless of trillion-dollar:
debt ceiling increases, huge tax increases and draconian spending cuts

 

Tea Party Activists Hijacked American Politics in 2011
And Held Our Failing Economy Hostage

They ALL voted against the majority U.S. opinion in favor
of the big money bribes that obviously corrupt them

63% of Americans support Obama's Jobs Act
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/jobs_act.pdf
100% of Republican Senators voted against all aspects of it

Republican Senators violently oppose majority-rule democracy !
Since Obama became President, they have used the minority filibuster
to block the will of the American majority hundreds of times,
many times more than ever before in American history

Speaker of the House John Boehner would not even allow
any elements of Obama's popular Jobs act to be debated

Speaker Boehner BOLDLY LIED when he said:
"My job is to listen to the American people and do their will" . . .
"95% of my (Republican) colleges are doing the will of their constituents"

Boehner is a popular low-I.Q. non-learning propaganda peddler. He's a well-documented
chain smoker, heavy drinker, and habitual liar. The above quote has one critical omission:
Republicans do the will of their WEALTHIEST 1% of constituents

 

69% of Americans polled believe that Republican
Tea Party terrorism supports the Top 1% wealthy,
to the sad detriment of the other 99%

76% of Americans think our nation is on the wrong track
Are Republicans really listening to the will of most constituents?
ABSOLUTELY NOT !

 

There Are Over Three Million Americans In The Top 1%
They Have Net Worth Over $9 Million For Each Family Household,
and, The Top 1% "Own" The Extremely-Corrupt Republican Party

Weak-Minded Republican Voters Are Easily-Manipulated By Big Money
94%of the time, voters elect the president that spends the most of campaign ads

 

John Boehner says that the Top 1% already pay over one third of all
U.S. taxes - They should pay less, not more - BUT the Top 1% of
Americans own HALF of all wealth in the USA
THEY SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES

 

Before the money corruption of Ronald Reagan, the top progressive
income tax was 50%, and the wealthy Top 1% prospered very nicely

Under Bill Clinton, the top income tax bracket was only 39.6%
We had a budget surplus and USA was paying off our national debt

John Boehner wants to lower the top tax bracket to only 25%, or less
Koch-brothers' paid puppet, immoral Herman Cain wanted it to be only 9%

 

Republican Enemies Of Working Class Warfare,
and Defenders Of The Parasitic Top 1% Millionaires:

 

Ohio Representative / Speaker Boehner is a strong supporter of evil John Kasich

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR3Z556dBSk

In October 2010, Speaker Boehner said that then-Ohio-governor Ted Strickland, Barak Obama, and
Democrats in Congress did not listen to the will of the people, and Ohio needed John Kasich (as if)

After John Kasich was elected and signed his attack on middle-class Ohio workers into law
(in March 2011), Speaker Boehner featured Kasich on his website, as an example of
"success" that Washington D.C. should follow (August 20, 2011):

 

John Kasich took a $10,000 salary increase - He gave members of his
administrative staff up to 40% salary increases, plus pensions,
and a guaranteed annual salary increase of at least 3%

Kasich's SB5 took away automatic salary increases for public sector unions,
made it illegal to strike or collectively bargain, violated pension contracts,
and demanded that state employees pay more for lower benefits

John Kasich quickly became the most-unpopular governor in America

His 1% versus 99% class warfare was similar to other Republicans in 2011

On November 8, 2011, a 61% super majority of Ohio voters resoundingly defeated
John Kasich's union-busting SB5 bill, despite strong support from many corrupt
Republicans and out-of-state donations to dishonest fraudulent campaign tactics
(Powerful message from the 99% to the two Johns: "NO Number 2")

Ohio had a strong movement to boycott all large-and-small businesses
that provided funding to support the SB5 attack on the working class
Business names were published online, and THEY LOST REVENUE

Speaker John Boehner, many other Republican politicians, and
presidential candidates attached their political future to Kasich's SB5

Should Republicans begin to listen to the clearly-stated will of the people,
STOP subsidizing the Top 1%, and encourage 20 million new living-wage jobs?
There is almost NO POLITICAL CHANCE that will happen any time soon

In his 11/8/11 concession speech, Kasich said he would have to rethink his politics
John Boehner on the other hand did NOT repent or hear his home-state constituents

Will corrupt deaf Republicans be defeated by a super majority in November 2012?

Will angry Ohio voters send Speaker Boehner home after he supported Kasich's SB5?

We certainly hope so, but non-learning American voters have a very-short attention span
We hope that the "NO Number 2" and "Occupy" protesters will unite in solidarity

 

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing" - Albert Einstein

"NO Number 2" won a super majority, because of extreme Ohio activism,
in the face of the worst American class warfare since The Great Depression

Will the 99% freedom fire continue to grow, or die out before November 2012?

If dysfunctional government continues to do nothing, unrest will surely spread

 

Will Rogers: "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat. . . .
Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats.
If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans." (Chuckle)

 

The 2011 congressional Tea Party Republicans reversed that classical political party pattern
Inept, uncooperative, Tea Party House of Representatives freshmen were like herding rabid cats
Republicans strategists like Karl Rove are hoping a rational candidate will run for president

Speaker of the House John Boehner commanded his caucus to "Get your ass in line!"
But, his desperation destructive arm-twisting coercive battle cry famously failed in flames

On Monday July 25, 2011 the inept Boehner promised that the House would pass his outrageous budget bill by Wednesday,
with bipartisan support, BUT, he could NOT deliver even enough Republican votes to his last-minute 7/28/2011 insane budget bill
Boehner had to amend his America-killing bill even farther to the right to get only 218 Republican House votes for it on 7/29/2011
Within only a couple of hours, 51 Democrat, 2 Independent, and 6 Republican Senators voted down Boehner's bill in the Senate
BUT, stubborn Republican Senator Mitch McConnell demanded a minority filibuster against the bipartisan Reid debt crisis solution

Childish congressional disregard for the consequences of their incompetence is the worst political event in MY lifetime

We can only hope that the new form of government (after the USA collapse) makes such stupidity impossible

 

Our founding fathers went out of their way to intentionally create divided government checks and balances
Divided democratic government mandates bipartisan cooperation on what is good for the majority of USA

"Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" - Spock
Defending and subsidizing only the top 1% of multi-millionaires is clearly corrupt, and beyond illogical insanity

Infantile intransigent Tea Partiers haven't a clue how to play together to get what they covet the most
The 2010 election Tea Party morons turned America into a hypocrisy mockery of democracy

Robert Greenstein of The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities stated that the Boehner budget plan was "class warfare . . . if enacted,
it would produce the greatest increase in poverty and hardship produced by any law in modern U.S. history."

53 Senators wrote Speaker Boehner that they would reject his budget bill, which they did in a couple of hours
The Tea Party uncompromising virulent ignorance was a bad career-ending attempt to win political points for 2012

The House Tea Party representatives who voted against the Boehner budget thought it did not advance their class warfare enough
The Democrats who voted against it thought it went way too far to destroy health care, social security, education, and food for the needy

The cascading predictable damage to the worldwide economy may be huge

 

Benjamin Franklin: "Tricks and treachery are the practice of FOOLS, that don't have brains enough to be honest"
When elected representatives consistently vote AGAINST majority opinion, it is PURE ARROGANT OPEN TREACHERY

 

Marcus Tullius Cicero: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. . . . No wise man ever thought that a traitor should be trusted."

 

Republican Senator John McCain said on the Senate floor that the intransigent insistence of Tea Party caucus members of the House of Representative, (like Michele Bachmann), for their political agenda was "worse than foolish." McCain quoted from Rupert Murdock's Wall Street Journal: "The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue, and the public will turn en masse against Barack Obama. . . . Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced-budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle-Earth, having defeated Mordor." (Chuckle - Rabid-Cat Republicans are badly divided by Treacherous Traitor Teavangelists)

Senator McCain then said: "This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell into GOP Senate nominees."

Dear Senator McCain, please remember that YOU raised crackpot, room-temperature-I. Q., Tea Party Queen Sara Plain to national fame without vetting her.
Your extremely-bad Sarah Palin running-mate choice contributed significantly to your 2008 presidential campaign defeat.
Sarah Palin now stands in strong opposition to much of what more-reasonable Senator John McCain is trying to do to save America from Tea Party Hobbits.

Mark Meckler of the Tea Party Patriots responded to John McCain on CNN. "Clearly he's been corrupted by the ring of power." (snicker)

I feel that the worst corruption of political power in my lifetime has been the rapid un-vetted rise of uncompromising destructive Teavangelists

 

USA 2011 Treason

"Treason" is the criminal offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's own country from within.
Treason is the ONLY federal crime defined in the U.S. Constitution.

When Rick Perry foolishly applied the word "Treason" to Ben Bernanke, the Texas cowboy politician clearly demonstrated his illiteracy
- Bernanke has tried to SUPPORT the Bush and Obama Administrations (even though Ben's Q.E. methods are very counterproductive).

In the extreme case where lives are lost, the traditional punishment for Treason was death. We do NOT advocate capital punishment for non-violent Tea Party acts of Treason, BUT, we do feel that elected officials who openly and repeatedly violate their Oath Of Office HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE HOLDING OFFICE.

The Oath Of Office required by the 1884 Sixth Article of the U.S. Constitution of the United States requires elected members and delegates of Congress to swear:

"I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

When true patriots take this Oath Of Office, they SHOULD put aside their partisan campaign mode, and become a member of the cooperative national solution team. Their top priority should become issues, NOT competitive partisan political positioning. Self-serving members of congress and Tea Party Terrorists have clearly reversed these critical priorities.

 

The 1868 Amendment 14 to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, . . . shall not be questioned." There should NEVER be an opportunity for Congress to vote to NOT pay our legal debts and obligations that Congress committed us to.

ANYONE who has sworn a solemn oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" who then advocates the U.S. government NOT paying its legal debts, contracts or financial obligations has (1) Violated their Oath Of Office, and (2) committed a treacherous act of TREASON. This statement is irrefutably self evident. The U.S. Constitution says that they should be impeached and removed from office.

Anyone who voted NO on The Budget Control Act of 2011 (Senate 365) (aka the debit ceiling bill): Violated their Oath Of Office, committed an act of Treason, should have articles of Impeachment filed against them, be immediately removed from office, and banned from ever holding any public office ever again, prosecuted for the crime of Treason, and perhaps placed in federal prison for many years. This applies to 161 members of the House of Representatives, and 26 Senators.

 

Of course, we know that justice is absolutely NOT going to happen in plutocratic America

Congress has clearly made themselves above the constitution that they have falsely sworn to uphold. Laws only apply to the poor and the mediocre who lack the legal representation that is reserved for the elite, connected, and powerful, who want to tax the poor, and subsidize the top 1% wealthiest of all.

IF those who voted against the 2011 The Budget Control Act had prevailed: (1) USA would have been forced to suddenly stop borrowing 40% of every dollar that we spend, (2) we would have to slash our budget by 40% - immediately terminating millions of jobs, (3) this would have reduced tax revenues, resulting a cascading loss of millions of more jobs, (4) America could not possibly honor Amendment 14 - we could not pay at least some of our debts and obligations - we would default, (5) interest rates would jump up for every American, (6) our bond market and U.S. dollar would collapse in a matter of hours, (7) we could not afford to pay for imports (with our worth less dollars).

This would be the worst kind of internal Terrorist Treason, with suicidal international consequences

 

Who Is Responsible For This 2011 Suicidal Economy-Damaging Treason?
The arrogant criminals that should be immediately removed from office have names

161 U.S. Representatives who voted against Senate 365 to pay our legal debts and obligations:
Ackerman, Akin, Amash, Bachmann, Baldwin, Bishop (UT), Blumenauer, Boswell, Braley (IA), Brooks, Broun (GA), Brown (FL), Buerkle, Burton (IN), Butterfield, Capuano, Cardoza, Carson (IN), Chaffetz, Chu, Clarke (MI), Clarke (NY), Cleaver, Cohen, Conyers, Cravaack, Crowley, Cummings, Davis (KY), DeFazio, DeGette, DeLauro, DesJarlais, Doyle, Duncan (SC), Edwards, Ellison, Engel, Farr, Filner, Flake, Fleischmann, Fleming, Forbes, Frank (MA), Franks (AZ), Fudge, Garrett, Gingrey (GA), Gohmert, Gonzalez, Gowdy, Graves (GA), Green, Al Griffith (VA), Grijalva, Hahn, Hall, Harris, Hartzler, Hastings (FL), Holt, Honda, Huelskamp, Hultgren, Hunter, Jackson (IL), Johnson (IL), Jones, Jordan, Kaptur, King (IA), Kingston, Kissell, Kucinich, Labrador, Lamborn, Landry, Larson (CT), Latham, Lee (CA), Lewis (GA), Loebsack, Lofgren, Zoe Luján, Mack, Maloney, Markey, Matsui, McClintock, McCollum, McDermott, McGovern, McIntyre, McNerney, Miller (NC), Miller, George Moran, Mulvaney, Murphy (CT), Nadler, Napolitano, Neal, Neugebauer, Nunes, Olver, Pallone, Pastor (AZ), Paul, Payne, Pearce, Peters, Pingree (ME), Poe (TX), Posey, Price (NC), Quayle, Rangel, Rehberg, Reyes, Richardson, Roby, Rokita, Ross (FL), Roybal-Allard, Ryan (OH), Sánchez, Linda T. Sarbanes, Scalise, Schakowsky, Schweikert, Scott (SC), Scott (VA), Scott, Austin Serrano, Slaughter, Smith (WA), Southerland, Stark, Stearns, Stutzman, Sutton, Thompson (MS), Tierney, Tipton, Tonko, Towns, Turner, Velázquez, Visclosky, Walsh (IL), Waters, Watt, Waxman, Welch, Westmoreland, Wilson (SC), Woolsey, Yarmuth and Yoder

26 U.S. Senators who voted against Senate Bill 365 to pay our legal debts and obligations:
Ayotte, Chambliss, Coats, Coburn, DeMint, Gillibrand, Graham,Grassley, Harkin, Hatch, Heller, Inhofe, Johnson (WI), Lautenberg, Lee, Menendez, Merkley, Moran, Nelson (NE), Paul, Rubio, Sanders, Sessions, Shelby, Toomey, and Vitter

Some of the above Democrats voted against Senate Bill 365 because it went too far. Some Republicans and Tea Party Treacherous Terrorists voted against S. 365 because it did not go far enough, BUT, all of the above elected members of Congress violated their Oath of Office to uphold the U.S. Constitution and pay all of our debts.

If YOU vote to re-elected any of the above - You are enabling ongoing Treason to destroy America from within.

 

Tea Party Mad Hatter Eric Cantor and
Big Headed, Pig Headed, Evil Red Queen Bachmann

Don't Touch MY Pork - It keeps my feet Warm

Michel Bachmann was asked if higher unemployment would be GOOD for her 2012 hopes,
she candidly replied: "I hope so." What is wrong with this evil self-serving picture ? !

Eric Cantor said plainly: "America has made promises that we cannot keep"
In direct violation of his Oath Of Office, and Amendment 14 of the U.S. Constitution
Not paying our legal obligations will have unthinkable catastrophic consequences

Senate Leader Harry Reid: "House majority leader Eric Cantor has shown he shouldn't be at the table,
and Republicans agree he shouldn't be at the table - Even Speaker Boehner and
Minority Leader McConnell seem to understand the seriousness of this situation."

"The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate,
and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance." - Akhenaton

Senator Chuck Schumer: "It can't just be Eric Cantor deciding everything"‎

Cantor refused to provide FEMA disaster funds for hurricane victims, unless he got his way.
This brought the wrath of hard-hit Republican Governor Chris Christie down on Eric Cantor.

Senator John Kerry said Tea Party Republicans engaged in legislative extortion
and held the nation hostage to get their way on the debt ceiling crisis

V.P. Joe Biden said the Tea Party acted like "terrorists" - 76% of Americans agree

President Barack Obama said Republicans "manufactured a crisis" over the debt ceiling

After the brutal Debt Ceiling fiasco badly damaged our fragile economy, and made the USA an international laughingstock,
Mitch McConnell (the leading Senate Republican) fully expects to do this again. McConnell believes his party
has "learned" the value in pursuing this, regardless of the catastrophic consequences.
Senator McConnell clearly stated on the record that the Debt Ceiling is "a hostage that's worth ransoming."
(If you don't like being called a hostage-taking extortionist terrorist, THEN DON'T CALL YOURSELF ONE!)

Eric Cantor sent an email to Congressional Republicans. He wrote that the consequences of the S&P downgrade and stock market collapse
would renew pressure to close tax loopholes for the wealthy, but Mad Hatter Cantor urged big-money-corrupted Republicans to resist

Speaker John Boehner said: "I got 98% of what I wanted - I'm a happy guy" - just before the global Stock Market crashed
Does the buffoon Boehner still claim 98% of the responsibility for the $4 Trillion of USA net worth loss in only 11 days?

Do you agree with S&P that the gridlocked U.S. government is dysfunctional,
and unable to solve the many problems that they have created?

The 11/2011 Supper Collapse Of The Super Committee Proved That It Is

Are Tea Party Extortion Terrorists the solution or the source of gridlock?

 

Eric Cantor insists on cutting federal spending, no matter how many millions of jobs it destroys

Eric insisted that any FEMA disaster relief spending must come from cutting other federal spending he does not like.
Fossil-fuel-corrupted Tea Party Terrorist Republicans want to eliminate the U.S. Department Of Energy (DOE).
They will do anything they can to end DOE energy-efficiency and sustainable-energy development,
which threaten to reduce the immoral profits of the dirty unsustainable oil-and-coal industries.

When the man-made global warming Joplin tornado killed 153 Americans, Eric Cantor
insisted that the FEMA funds be stolen from the Department Of Energy federal budget.

When hurricane Irene struck 14 states, Cantor insisted that FEMA funds for it be diverted from Joplin
- Sorry Joplin, you are yesterday's disaster - You are now on your own to rebuild at your own expense.
Republicans must cut spending so they can subsidize big oil companies, and give tax cuts to billionaires.

Texas Republican extremist Ron Paul has his own suggestion. Ron says USA should eliminate FEMA altogether.
It is curious that FEMA denied Rick Perry's request for funds for Texas' climate change drought and 9,000 forest fires.

Our President criticized Rick Perry for his rejection of scientific data when Obama referred to
"a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change"

Should we dissolve USA, close Interstate Highways, and build
a 50-foot-high double fence with alligators around every state?

 

A Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been hotly debated since the very foundation of our nation:

Thomas Jefferson (third U.S. president and author of the Declaration of Independence): "I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the general principle of the Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government their power of borrowing." . . . "A democracy cannot work with an ignorant electorate. They will elect and return the worse people to power."

IF government had always been required to balance our budget, we would have spent a lot less time at deadly war, and we would NOT be nearly $15 Trillion in unpayable generational debt. BUT very sadly we are, and the imminent collapse of the worth less U.S. Dollar will dramatically damage the entire worldwide economy.

The basic rule of reasonable borrowing is: "Never borrow money on any depreciating item." In some cases it may be acceptable to borrow money for revenue-generating projects where the profit or capital gain is much larger than the interest. But, Does it make any sense at all to use your credit card to buy hamburgers, and then not pay the bill at the end of the month? You may still be paying interest on those unhealthy hamburgers - months after you ate them.

So it is with America's enormous national debt. Families and governments MUST learn to live within their means. The fact that we have so many decades of unpayable debt is only going to make the collapse trauma many times worse, than if we had always balanced our budget (as under the prosperous Clinton Administration).

America is guaranteed that we will soon balance our budget - either by intelligent spending reduction and equitable revenue generation, OR BY TRAUMATIC DEBT DEFAULT and NATIONWIDE BANKRUPCY. Which pain do you prefer?

USA is probably way past the tipping point. The catastrophic choices have already been made.
Indecision was a BAD decision. The consequences are very close indeed. What will we do?

America now borrows for the wrong things and reasons. If we borrowed less, we would have to spend much less on things like interest, making unjustified war, being the world's policeman, political waste, fraud, and abuse, gross redundancy, extreme inefficiency, subsidizing things that are suicidally unsustainable, and tax cuts for people making millions of dollars a year.

 

Inefficient Government Agency Redundancy, Duplication of Effort, Assignment Overlap and Functional Fragmentation

In his 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama pledged to “eliminate wasteful redundancy. . . . too often, federal departments take on functions or services that are already being done or could be done elsewhere within the federal government more effectively. The result is unnecessary redundancy.”

March 1, 2011, The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published their required report, which documents that Obama has NOT kept his 2008 promise to eliminate unnecessary redundancy. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d11318sp.pdf

Duplication, Overlap, and Fragmentation of Government Programs
(Should Be Consolidated To Provide Better Service and Save Trillions Of Taxpayer Dollars)

Mission Function	# Agencies
Surface Transportation	100+
Economic Development	88
Teacher Quality	82
Transportation Assistance	80
Financial Literacy Training	56
Job Training	47
Homelessness Prevention	20
Food For The Hungry	18
Disaster Response / Preparedness – FEMA	17

Almost none of the above government programs have metrics in place to provide Congressional oversight of their effectiveness, or the trillions of dollars of potential savings that abound in our grossly-inefficient endlessly-redundant government bloated bureaucracies. Are all government agencies doing their job well? Why do so many have similar assignments? When we have a hundred redundant agencies working on the same problem, does it get done more efficiently? Does it get done at all?

There is NO transparency, or public awareness of the terrible job that Congress has done for a century (including World Wars, The Great Depression, and many recessions).

When a problem arises today, Congress argues over the solution, ignores the flawed agencies that should have prevented the problem in the first place, passes a new bill, and creates new redundant pork-barrel non-transparent bureaucracies to deal with the problems - When the EXISTING agencies should have been monitored, reprimanded, and repaired to do what they should have been doing all along.

My wife and I have Top Secret security clearances, so we can work on advanced-technology development projects. We have first-hand knowledge of endless inefficient, waste, fraud, abuse, redundancy, overlap, fragmentation, and plain-old laughable stupidity on many classified government projects (which we can never discuss publicly). These classified redundancies are not mentioned in the GAO redundancy report. Congressional oversight is absolutely NOT doing their job !

It is lack of transparency, laziness, and gridlocked pork-barrel partisan politics that creates trillions of dollars of avoidable government waste

The 9/11 Commission Report publically exposed enormous fragmentation and deadly miscommunication that prevented life-critical actionable intelligence from getting to the disconnected expensive federal agencies that could have prevented or mitigated the terrible 9/11/2001 national disaster (and the trillion dollar wars and loss of life that followed).

Many of the essential 9/11 Commission Report recommendations have STILL not been implemented today

Homeland Security and so-called "intelligence" agencies are expensive, ineffective, farcical jokes. USA IS STILL VERY INSECURE

 

The following outlines the 34 mission areas studied in the GAO Redundancy Report: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d11318sp.pdf

	34. Coordination essential to reduce fragmentation of financial literacy efforts	More than 20 different agencies; about 56 programs involved

 

Congress can no longer claim ignorance of their above redundant bloated bureaucracies

GAO let the rabid cat out of the bag - Informed 99% voters are getting more angry than ever before

Will these avoidable redundancies become high-priority issues in the 2012 debt-reduction election campaign?

Do nearly-illiterate mediocre-minded American voters ever read any government spending-reduction reports?

We could use the money saved by redundancy elimination to create millions of new living-wage jobs

Lazy legislators need to READ the reports they are given and take immediate decisive action to remedy the expensive waste they have created

Redundancy-reduction heroes should do much better in the polls than those who resist elimination of unproductive pork-barrel waste

Gridlocked indecision IS a decision. Why would any person in Congress want to perpetuate U.S. pervasive unproductive redundancy (other than corruption)

 

The above list of U.S. government massive redundancies and inefficiencies CAN NEVER HAPPEN within Emerald Eco-City

I developed and taught large-scale Enterprise Architecture at IBM. At one time, I was IBM's top consultant in Enterprise Object Modeling (before I started my own consulting business. It was income from my win-win Enterprise Architecture contributions to international corporations that made me financially independent, and able to do what I am doing for you for free today).

From day one, our Emerald Eco-City proposal has ALWAYS been developed with scalable Enterprise Architecture, which guarantees NO unnecessary redundancy.

The entire sustainable, self-contained, self-sufficient Emerald Eco-City plan is optimized to accelerate integration, consolidation, cooperation and, interoperability - eliminating waste. Every output from every ecocity process is a valuable input to another process. Every ecocity function is scientifically optimized in its relationship with every other function.

Many unprecedented, extremely-efficient, economy-of-scale Enterprise Architecture details are presented throughout the other pages on this free website.

 

Merely fixing the existing redundancies in the U.S. government is a long-overdue small start, but NOT NEARLY ENOUGH

One issue is that Congress needs to STOP creating more inefficient pork-barrel redundancy in the future. Senator Tom Coburn submitted a bipartisan legislation-transparency proposal in the Senate to do just that. Citizens Against Government Waste enthusiastically endorsed the proposal, and so do we.

“For every bill considered by the Senate:

1) an analysis by the Congressional Research Service to determine if the bill creates any new federal program, office, or initiative that would duplicate or overlap any existing federal program, office, or initiative with similar mission, purpose, goals, or activities along with a listing of all of the overlapping or duplicative federal program or programs, office or offices, or initiative or initiatives; and

2) an explanation provided by the committee as to why the creation of each new program, office, or initiative is necessary if a similar program or programs, office or offices, or initiative or initiatives already exist.”

In order to rapidly and efficiently accomplish Coburn's valuable redundancy transparency goal, the Congressional Research Service will have to have access to a comprehensive government-wide object / project function guide, which is at the heart of effective Enterprise Object Models. The need for a comprehensive well-designed Enterprise Object Model will increase the motivation to build one. The effort will improve Enterprise Modeling tools and techniques, which will eventually benefit the entire world (the same way the U.S. Internet has done). A good, scalable, efficient, Government-Wide Comprehensive Enterprise Model will be self-sustaining, as new legislation creates new project functions, and eliminates expensive redundancies that still exist today.

When the U.S. government first started to embrace IBM's Enterprise Architecture in the 1990's, they wasted a lot of taxpayer dollars on inexperienced, inconsistent, non-IBM wannabe Enterprise Architects. They spent a decade reinventing the existing Enterprise Modeling wheel, and came up with a rectangular clunker that did NOT roll. This setback in BAD Enterprise Architecture has been responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful government spending, and unaudited amounts of unnecessary redundancy, duplication of effort, fragmentation, miscommunication, waste, fraud, and abuse (that was only partially mentioned in the March 2011 GAO Redundancy Report).

 

BACK IN BLACK - What America desperately needs to do IMMEDIATELY

Senator Tom Coburn (M.D.) was a member of the U.S. Senate bipartisan "Gang of Six" - trying in vain to improve the quality, and reduce the cost of our bloated inefficient government bureaucracies. We don't agree with most of his politics and involvement with scandals, but Coburn has been trying to do his job better than most Senators.

For years, Dr. Coburn has assigned his congressional staff to study every government agency report (from GAO, OMB, etc.) gathering specific recommendations to reduce unnecessary, ineffective, government spending. They have compiled a powerful 621-page book of Republican AND Democrat ideas titled "Back In Black."

http://coburn.senate.gov/public//index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=c6590d01-017a-47b0-a15c-1336220ea7bf

Back In Black provides specific solution proposals to deal with government programs that are:

Not Needed — Serves no vital or essential federal role or has outlived its intended purpose.

Does Not Meet Any Need — Little or no evidence to demonstrate results or effectiveness achieving stated goals.

Wasteful — Significant amounts of silly or unjustifiable expenditures.

Duplicative — Redundancy that overlaps existing government agencies functions or initiatives.

Not a Priority at this Time — Mission cannot be justified within today's budgetary constraints.

Not Cost Effective — Benefits do not exceed the costs.

Parochial — Serves a local or special interest with no overriding federal role and exceeds the limited powers granted to Congress enumerated in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

Mismanaged — Significant amounts of erroneous, fraudulent and improper expenditures, excessive overhead and administrative costs, or otherwise poorly administered or implemented.

I do not agree with all of Senator Coburn's politics (he has most certainly made some mistakes in his political career), BUT Back In Black is a comprehensive list of bipartisan specific ways that America can rapidly reduce our national budget by NINE TRILLION DOLLARS over a ten year period, without serious damage to our society or economy.

No other congress person, and no other current document, has so much time and effort invested in it to produce such a valuable document. It contains things that please everyone. Some argue that Tom Coburn may be the ONLY person in Congress who is earning his salary.

Back In Black asks for equitable shared sacrifice from everyone, no special interests are protected. Parts of it will bother everyone in the country - Different strokes for different folks.

America does not have to implement all of Back In Black today, but half of it would be a great start toward a balanced budget, and eliminating the need to borrow more money.

One of our gigantic U.S. government errors is that Congress writes 2,000+ page omnibus bills. They are guaranteed to hide good-old-boy pork-barrel waste, fraud, abuse, redundancy and unwanted duplication of effort.

Here is a unique suggestion: Why don't we break out every plainly-written topic in Back In Black (and any other bipartisan ideas) and have a quick up-or-down, no-debate, roll-call vote on each one individually. Congressional debates are a silly partisan waste of time - Legislators NEVER change their mind as a result of a debate. Most votes are cast along corrupt party platform lines, NOT rational open-minded thinking by learning legislators.

After the individual roll-call votes, legislators could take the ones that Congress likes and put them in legislative language, ready for the President to sign. With minimal effort, taxpayers would save trillions of dollars, OR we would know for sure the names of the intransigent legislators who want to continue corruption-as-usual - so voters can remove them from office.

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

Transparency leads to liberty

 

Here is one excerpt from Back In Black that most Americans should like - How refreshing to hear this from an influential Republican Senator:

End Benefits, Unnecessary Subsidies, Corrupt Loopholes, and Tax Breaks for Millionaires

"Each year the federal government pays billions in cash and benefits to millionaires - Americans reporting an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $1 million or more. For example, in terms of cash benefits, in 2008, the Department of Labor's Unemployment Insurance program paid 2,804 people with an AGI of $1
million or more over $18.6 million. In fact, 17 of these reported an AGI of $10 million or more on their 2008 Tax Return.

"In the same year, the Social Security Administration paid 56,587 million-dollar-earners over $1.54 billion in retirement benefits. Of these, 2,511 reported an AGI of $10 million or more.99
A number of tax breaks also exist for millionaires, just as they exist for less fortunate Americans. In 2008, 34,348 millionaires deducted over $162 million in business expenses, while 209,116 millionaires wrote-off over $7 billion through the mortgage interest deduction.

"The purpose behind other payments of federal funds to millionaires is even less clear. For example, the National Endowment for the Arts ("NEA") made a $25,000 grant to multimillionaire Quincy Jones (winner of 27 Grammy Awards) in 2008 through its NEA Jazz Masters program.

"The NEA also honors achievement in Opera and in 2008 made a $25,000 grant to millionaire James Levine - an internationally celebrated conductor.

"The United States Department of Agriculture also doles out millions each year in cash benefits to millionaires. For example, in 2010, USDA paid eight millionaires over $74 million through its Wetlands Reserve Program, which was established to give landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property.

"Millionaires can afford to 'protect, restore, and enhance wetlands' with their own money.

"At this point in our country's history, deep in a financial crisis, our government cannot continue to make grants and pay benefits to individuals that do not need them. Means-testing government programs and eliminating benefits to wealthy Americans is a simple step toward fiscal responsibility.

"Moreover, millionaires do not need these benefits and can easily live without them. The government safety net should be provided to those with true need."

 

Senator Coburn's Back In Black is less-than perfect, and it is sometimes humorously hypocritical and self contradictory: ". . . federal agencies (excluding DoD) – spend nearly $1.3 billion a year on office printing. . . . (mostly) unnecessary." The 621-page Back In Black book was published on tree-killing bureaucratic-government paper, with expensive full-color ink - ALL government documents should ONLY be available electronically. (chuckle) Just because a book or bible contains some obvious flaws does NOT mean that it has no value at all.

 

Rational Future Infrastructure Borrowing

If we are going to borrow anything at all, it should be for high-profit long-term projects that create good living-wage jobs with family benefits.

All other old burdensome ineffective debts should be quickly paid off, and NEVER REPEATED AGAIN

Our USA national infrastructure is now rated number 26 in the world (well BELOW many third-world countries). Our engineers tell us we need a minimum of $2 Trillion of repair work on our Interstate highways, pot holes, and crumbling dangerous bridges. We need to catch up to the world leaders, and develop 250+ mph super-efficient ELECTRIC TRAINS (in anticipation of the end of low-cost air travel). Our education system is abysmal. We are firing teachers, police, fire, nurses, social workers, etc. Only the government can stop the collapse of America's nation-wide critical infrastructure, and yet short-sighted, selfish, immediate-gratification politicians want to slash spending on our children's future.

Restoring American greatness and laying an advanced-technology foundation for the future would be a great way to put people to work, at a time when interest rates are low. Government does NOT need to fund 100% of this effort with taxpayer dollars. We just need to set goals and incentives, and let the magic of venture capital handling the heavy lifting, just like the way the Internet dream rapidly spread around the world in less than eight years with PRIVATE VENTURE CAPITAL, NOT TAXES. What is sadly missing today is a compelling vision of a superior future for our children.

If (when) USA defaults on our debt payments, goes bankrupt (soon), and no one will lend us any money at all, we will suddenly and catastrophically be FORCED to spend no more than what we have. Imports will have to end traumatically. A negative balance of trade will NOT be possible. We will then not even be able to borrow money for profitable future infrastructure projects, etc. Millions more people will surely starve. Is this the terrible legacy that selfish baby boomers really intended to leave for their children?

America raised our faux debt ceiling 78 times in the last 51 years - 18 times under Reagan, and 7 times under spendthrift Bush / Cheney. THIS TREND IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

Some people think that raising the debt limit allows Congress to enact more spending bills. But actually, America's previous in-place laws REQUIRE the debt ceiling to be raised every year, just to pay our past debts, unfunded existing commitments and legal liabilities. To stop raising our unpayable debt burden on our children, we would have to repeal much of our existing spending legislation for military, homeland security, education, food programs, health care, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and SUBCONTRACTORS - putting millions more out of a job. It would be terribly regressive - impacting the working class much more than millionaires and billionaires.

Suppose you borrow $25,000 to buy a gas-guzzling inefficient American SUV. You run up $20,000 in credit cards debt (buying gasoline, alcohol, food, etc.). You get to the point where you can't make ends meet, so you bring your family together, and argue about whether you should pay your past debts.

This is what happened in 2011 when freshman Tea Party intransigent, infantile idiots took control of the U.S. House of Representatives, and hijacked the American political agenda. Their legislation set out to reduce taxes for parasitic billionaires, while reducing support and increasing taxes on working class and poor Americans.

40% of American children are born into impoverished families eligible for Medicaid

Shall we terminate their only health care safety net?

HR 2560 Republican Balanced Budget Amendment passed by the House of Representatives
limits total federal spending to no more than 18% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
That is only enough to pay for our military budget (which they want to increase), plus
Social Security, and interest our our existing national debt - That leaves ZERO for Medicare,
Medicaid, education, food safety, disease control, FAA, or anything else being done today

There is apparently no love or compassion in our evil greedy corpocracy Tea Party

86% of Americans who were polled do NOT want Congress to keep increasing the Debt Ceiling burden that we are forcing on our children and grandchildren, BUT, 84% of Americans disapproved of the infantile way Republicans used the Debt Ceiling in July 2011 to threaten the U.S. economy and embarrass USA in front of the world. An August 1, 2011 CNN / ORC poll found that more than three quarters of Americans felt that Congress behaved like "spoiled children" squabbling over their extreme political views. Non-learning American voters have such a short attention span that they will probably re-elect most of the corrupt criminal stubborn brats that nearly destroyed the American economy.

 

"The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets" - Will Rogers - Deep debt is deadly suicide

The Newt Gingrich "Contract With America" promised a Balanced Budget Amendment, BUT, during the 8 years of the corrupt Bush / Cheney Administration, the dishonest self-serving Republicans INCREASED THE DEBT CEILING SEVEN TIMES! Under big-oil-and-G.E.-corrupted President Ronald Reagan, Republicans increased the debt ceiling 18 TIMES, and increased tax revenues 11 TIMES. The Tea Party is most certainly anti-Reagan.

In 2011 the misleading Republicans hypocritically said that our debt ceiling problem is all Obama's fault, and they refused to do for him what they so freely did for themselves. The truth is that endless Congressional corruption is universal and bipartisan.

Bill Clinton raised taxes, balanced the budget, accumulated a $7 Trillion surplus, and created 23 million new American jobs.

Bush / Cheney said that America needed lower taxes for multi-millionaires and billionaires, squandered Clinton's surplus, drove gasoline pump price from $1.47 to over $4, destroyed 8 million American jobs, caused millions of home foreclosures, doubled the national debt to twice what it had ever been since World War II, and blew a $15 Trillion hole in the American economy in September 2008. From which we have still NOT recovered to this very day.

As a Senator, Obama voted against Republican debt ceiling increases:

Senator Obama's Floor Speech, March 20, 2006: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. . . . Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

We agree with 2006 Senator Obama, NOT flip flopping, inept, corrupted, 2011 President Obama. The changes that Obama promised in 2008 totally failed.

Obama Deserves NO RESPECT from anyone with a functional brain, but Republicans proved to be many times worse in 2011.

ALL DEBT CEILING INCREASES ARE ALWAYS AN ECONOMIC MISTAKE - WE MUST LIVE WITHIN OUR FINITE MEANS
Deficit Spending is NOT sustainable - America is on the edge of a total economic collapse cliff - Moving at an insane suicidal irreversible speed

It has now become obvious that knee-jerk American voters in November, 2011 ushered into office a divided dysfunctional government
of spoiled-brat children, who care nothing about defaulting on national debt payments, in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Every time Congress immorally increases the Faux Debt Ceiling, and the President signs it, they are
going against the vast majority of the people who elected them to office, but
failure to pay America's debt and contractual obligations, will destroy our fragile economy even faster.

Recent polls show that: (1) 70% of Americans STILL want a mandatory Balanced Budget Amendment (the last time it was voted on in 1995 it passed the House, but failed by only one corrupt Senator's vote, and again in 1996 it failed by only two votes - As a Senator, Joe Biden was a strong supporter of the Balanced Budget Amendment, but he flip flopped and opposed it as Obama's Vice President). 49 of the American states are already phasing in state balanced budget amendments.

(2) 81% of Americans want to restore income tax rates for millionaires to where they were when Bill Clinton had a budget surplus (millionaire fair share tax rate was only 3.6% higher than today - Fair taxes would restore $4 TRILLION (four thousand billion) in tax revenue over ten years, and be a major step toward balancing our irresponsible deficit spending budget), and

(3) 74% of Americans want to end billions of dollars a year in unnecessary subsidies for oil and gas companies (which are the most profitable businesses that have ever existed in the history of the world).

Does Big Oil Really Need MORE PROFIT at the expense of those who can least afford it? 74% of Americans clearly say NO.
Corrupt Spoiled-Brat Infantile Republicans In Congress Continue To Stomp Their Foot and Demand YES!

Congress is absolutely NOT representing the vast majority desires of well-over two thirds of their constituents.
Their biased balanced budget amendment was an outrageous elimination of social-support systems, and protection for billionaire tax breaks.

No wonder Congress' approval rating FELL TO ONLY 13% - an all time low in August 2011. I am surprised it is more than zero. The very-corrupt Republican "House of REPRESENTATIVES" makes almost NO effort to represent America. In the Senate, the minority "filibuster" blocks majority opinion on most important legislation.

76% of Americans, and even the majority of Republican voters, strongly object to the obviously-corrupt Ryan budget that the House passed in 2011, which attempted to end Medicare as we know it, so Republicans can give tax breaks from 35% down to only 25% to wealthy millionaires and billionaires (who bribe them with millions of dollars in immoral unethical campaign donations). These criminals are robbing the public purse, wearing a transparent face mask.

Endless corruption SHOULD end their political careers, but NOTHING IN AMERICAN BIG-MONEY-CONTROLLED POLITICS IS RATIONAL

The July 19, 2011 outrageous Republican-House-passed their "Cut, Cap, and Balance Bill." It was even worse than the Ryan budget bill. It slashes the budget for social programs even lower. It gives Republicans the ability to TOTALLY ELIMINATE ANY EXPENDITURE (like Social Security, Medicare, Medicare, universal health care, food programs for the poor, education funding, etc.) by merely 51 votes - a simple majority in the Senate. HOWEVER, Cut Cap and Balance requires a 2 / 3 super majority of the House and Senate to close tax loopholes, like hedge-fund-manager 15% capital gains tax, and tax subsidies for big oil companies, corporate jet owners, etc.

In the previous continuing budget resolution, Republicans insisted on cutting already-insufficient funding for food inspection, FBI agents, overload air traffic controllers, construction projects, flu shots, food for the needy, clean water grants, pre-schools / schools / Pell grants, scientific research, community health centers, and crumbling transportation infrastructure maintenance and innovation. Americans can expect Republicans to slash all of those projects and many more in the future - In order to preserve tax cuts for millionaires, and huge subsidies for the oil companies that own Republicans and the radical fanatical Tea Party organizations (funded largely by Koch brothers big oil).

Republicans tried to hold the debt ceiling hostage unless Cut, Cap, and Balance was passed by the Senate, and submitted to the 50 states for ratification. Insistence on this stupidity would drive America into default, and destroy our fragile jobless recovery. July 19 was the final straw that could break America's back (unless Republicans drop their extremely-corrupt demands). The alternative that Tea Party Republicans want is to blow a $20+ Trillion hole in the U.S. economy - outrageous unprecedented partisan insanity.

Republican big-money corruption is being proclaimed with hundreds of very-loud trumpets to extremely-upset working-class voters

Paul Ryan drinks $350-per-bottle fine wine at public restaurants - with his multi-million-dollar-per-year hedge-fund-manager drinking buddies, who profit greatly from tax breaks that corrupt Congress enacted just for them (so they only pay 15% per year capital gains tax, instead of the 35% Bush / Cheney progressive income tax rate).

For New York City's largest unproductive parasitic hedge fund managers, that is over a $200,000,000 per year inequitable tax break per person!

The Republicans who support Paul Ryan apparently have NO connection with, or concern about, burdening the working class with heavy taxes that SHOULD be paid by the rich for the income that they earn. At town hall meetings, many of Ryan's own working class constituents that elected him now BOO and ridicule his obvious big-money corruption.

However, almost all Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the Ryan "road to disaster" budget, and the much-worse "cut, cap, and balance" budget. How many of these corporation-corrupted legislators will be re-elected by non-learning mediocre-majority Republican voters? (Probably most of them - How very sad for America)

Voters who ignore or reject the documented TRUTH continue to get the terrible government and excessive burdensome debt and taxes that they deserve. They refuse to accept obvious cause and effect. The predictable economic collapse of America will be their self-created suicidal reward for their virulent ignorance

Do you care? Are you prepared? Will you remain silent and just "wait and see" until total corruption is too late to correct?

Suppose an international event triggers total collapse tomorrow - much worse than in 2008.

Who will you blame? Would you wish you had done anything different YESTERDAY?

Remember the above prophetic words - I won't get a chance to say "I told you so", when the Internet infrastructure grinds to a halt - It will be far too late to prevent generational suicide.

Those Who Care WILL Prepare NOW - Will you?

Paul Ryan's 25% tax rate for the wealthy is only 71% of what they are paying now (which is already bankrupting America). Ryan's budget is many times worse than the terrible Bush / Cheney 3.6% tax reduction for millionaires (from 39.6% down to 35%), which blew a $15 Trillion hole in the 2008 economy.

2011 Republican House Cut, Cap, and Balance is much worse than the Ryan Road To Ruin.

If the Bush / Cheney tax cuts for millionaires caused the deficit-spending crash of 2008, WHAT WOULD THE MUCH-WORSE 2011 TEA-PARTY REPUBLICAN BUDGETS DO?

After the 2001 Bush / Cheney tax cuts for the wealthy, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill told the administration that their over-$500-Billion budget deficit threatened the entire U.S. economy. Cheney told O'Neil: "You know Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter, . . . We won the midterms (congressional elections). This is our due."

One month later, Cheney fired O'Neil for his rational thinking. The administration passed a second round of unfunded tax cuts for the wealthy.

John Snow, who replaced O'Neill as Treasury Secretary, insisted that "deficits do matter." Snow was replaced by Henry Paulson, the criminal CEO of Goldman Sachs.

The predictable disaster was the Bush / Cheney / Paulson 2008 largest recession since The Great Depression, and gigantic bailout of Goldman Sachs, et. al.

If tax cuts drove USA deep into unpayable debt (compared to the Clinton budget surplus), then will much-larger future Republican tax cuts for the mega-rich solve the problem?

If the board is already too short, will cutting it again and again make it longer? HOW STUPID CAN NON-LEARNING VOTERS POSSIBLY BE ? !

 

PLEASE Learn From Well-Documented History

The Republican Paul Ryan budget says that the tax rate for the wealthy should be REDUCED even further to only 25% - Increasing our budget deficit perhaps $20 TRILLION dollars.

From WW I I until 1975, the tax rate for the top 2% was NEVER LESS THAN 70% (twice what it is today). That was a time of great growth and prosperity in America. The number of USA millionaires exploded. Millions of new jobs were created year after year. We heavily funded infrastructure development and world-class leading edge R & D. We created the Interstate highway system, integrated circuit computers, super software, fiber optics, solar-and-wind energy systems, the Internet, and left five electric cars on the Moon!

Bush / Cheney's unfunded regressive tax reductions for the top 2% terminated all such progress. NOW, corrupt Republicans want to end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and eliminate even the 15% capital gains tax - so that billionaires will pay ZERO INCOME TAX AT ALL! Gullible Republican and Tea Party voters love such outrageous greedy politics.

 

Any government anywhere in the world can exist only with the consent of the governed
- America is long overdue for a major radical revolution

The Boston Tea Party was a revolutionary response to the British Stamp Act - tax increases without representation.
(It is why many Americans now drink coffee, instead of healthier tea.)

Today's U.S. deficit spending is stealing much more net worth from Americans than British taxes did in the 1700's - It is happening WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

The largest TAX in America by far is the rapid devaluation of the U.S. dollar

Thomas Jefferson wrote America's Declaration of Independence. Jefferson fought hard against second President John Adams' big-government Federalist party politics. Jefferson became the third President of the United States, and began dismantling Adams' big government. Jefferson wrote that: "Every generation needs a new revolution." We strongly agree.

A patriotic red, white, and blue revolution against America's current corrupt bloated big government is long overdue. IF the Congress refuses to immediately undo the deficit spending that destroyed our dollar, then total economic collapse WILL require a radical revolution to reinvent what America SHOULD have always been in the first place - Living within our means, while laying a solid foundation for our prosperous sustainable future.

Americans do NOT live in a representative democracy. We have become an OUTRAGEOUS CORPOCRISY HYPOCRISY that only benefits the top 2% for the short term

"Representatives" do NOT represent 95% their constituents in any way - In our instant-communication electronic age, Congress is an ancient (pre-telephone) artifact of government corruption. Governance of the people, by the people, and for the people needs to be RADICALLY RESTRUCTURED for total instantaneous electronic transparency, and a weekly comprehensive, secure, biometric electronic referendum on all critical issues. Representative and Senators can write bills, but the people should control the acceptance of major changes to American Law.

 

Today's Off-The-Shelf Cost-Effective Biometric Technology

For many years now, Walt Disney theme parks and others have used biometric scanners to eliminate fraudulent use of annual passes. Tens-of-thousands of visitors are quickly processed every day at every park. Computers and cell phones offer built-in biometric scan options (but the USA is slower in implementing modern security technology than many other nations). Republicans want cheap illegal alien workers, and Democrats want illegal alien votes to get reelected. Government corruption is the only thing that prevents cost-effective biometric security and fraud elimination in America today.

In 2011, India used off-the-shelf biometrics for their nationwide census. They created a National Population Register, which is now the world's largest biometric database with 1.2 billion people's: name, 12-digit unique identification number, picture, complete fingerprints, and other census-related data. This information is used by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for online authentication of all types of transactions, such as employment, voting, welfare benefits, etc. Indians do not even have to carry an ID card. Biometrics recognize every registered citizen. This system replaces the need for all other previous ID cards. Fingerprints, facial recognition software, and historical data can all be used in real-time for many crime-elimination and secure-access purposes. It is just as fast as a modern American credit card transaction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_census_of_India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_Identification_Authority_of_India

How much did India's comprehensive biometric population database solution cost? it was estimated to be $4.60 (in USD) per person. It actually cost only $448 million, less than half a dollar per person!

Can America afford biometrics? Would it be worth a few dollars per U.S. resident to eliminate hundreds of billions of dollars of fraudulent crime every year?

It is truly insane for America to NOT follow the leadership of technology-savvy India in the use of biometric identification of EVERYONE.

America cannot afford to wait until 2020 or 2030 to do our own biometric census - The delay will drive USA many more trillions of dollars in hopeless debt.

If the American government is too STUPID to understand how to cost effectively implement our own National Population Register with off-the-shelf biometric technology, then we should immediately hire India (with a proven track record) to do it for us for less than one billion dollars!

Consider America's current expensive illegal alien problems. They significantly contribute to the U.S. trillion-dollar-per-year budget deficit. Shortsighted inept politicians have proposed spending $100 billion to build a fence along one of the USA borders. Even if they construct twin 50-foot-high electrified fences with a moat and alligators between, it will NOT begin to solve the problem that a one-billion-dollar biometric system would immediately solve.

40% of America's undocumented aliens entered the country legally, and then just overstayed their visa. No fence will solve this problem. A southern fence will not block terrorists from entering via the northern border, or along the east-or-west coastlines. A border fence will not remove the 12+ million undocumented criminal aliens who are currently illegally receiving the benefits of U.S. residency. A LOW-COST BIOMETRIC SECURITY SYSTEM CLEARLY CAN!

 

Modern Biometrics Facilitate Ancient Direct-Vote Democracy

In the original form of Athenian democracy, EVERY concerned citizen had the opportunity to vote directly every week on every change to the law - A white pebble ("vote") for "Yes", a black pebble for "No." They had the technology to make it work well 2500 year ago. How much better is our Internet electronic biometric technology today! Wikipedia: Athenian Democracy

Every line item on every bill should have the name of every author, and the Representatives and Senators who support or oppose it. The people must know the source of corruption, so they can purge it from the system. Anything less perpetuates autocratic aristocratic tyranny from the oppressive elite deceit.

Will elite politics-as-usual ever approve such things - Of course not! - How will we ever improve our badly-broken system of greed, habitual lies, and endless deceit? It was the citizens of Athens who created successful democracy - NOT the aristocratic ruling class.

Can voter revolution be far away? Will voting for the other party correct the source of bipartisan political corruption? NO Way Jose!

Wealthy media moguls and greedy corporations and bankers strictly control the corruption options we are allowed to vote on.

Many greedy politicians have said that America MUST keep raising the Debt Ceiling, or we will default on our existing debt, and no one will lend us money at such a low rate ever again.

Some people say that raising the debt ceiling will allow Congress to write new spending bills.

Irresponsible debt is the source of the problem - More debt is the opposite of the solution

Going bankrupt may be a good thing, IF it teaches America to live within our means - It will be traumatic for a time, But the dollar must collapse soon - one way or another - We are way past the debt limit tipping point - Disastrous economic collapse is almost 100% guaranteed

November 1995, and December 1995, Congress refused to increase the Debt Ceiling, and essentially shut down the government until January 1996. The DJIA increased several percentage points, and Congress began to balance the national budget until the end of the Clinton administration (when Bush / Cheney began their deficit-spending rampage).

LOWERING our suicidal national debt ceiling is essential to balancing our out-of-control budget, which is necessary to restore jobs and nationwide prosperity !

We cannot implement a Balanced Budget Amendment fast enough. We must STOP INCREASING THE DEBT CEILING IMMEDIATELY!

WE MUST PROVIDE MANY NEW LIVING-WAGE JOBS FOR AMERICANS - Local food coops could provide part of the long-overdue answer

We also need to specify the funding priorities for the tax dollars that we do take in. We need to pay our debt service to stay afloat. We need to pay our brave soldiers that we have sent into harm's way. We need to stop being the world's policeman. We need to invest in profitable future education and local domestic infrastructure that lowers costs.

The last item on the priority list is funding the benefits and salaries of legislators who refuse to do what voters demand that they do.

Do you think our government will ever do the right thing? Revolution and collapse are getting closer with each incremental deficit-spending dollar.

Every member of Congress costs Americans many times more than their salary and benefits - perhaps billions of dollars of pork-barrel corruption each (with a $3.7 Trillion badly bloated budget). The Senate should begin by reducing its size to 50 members. The House should be no more than 100. Term limits should be no more than six years. Seniority should be determined by legislators who bring about the changes that the majority of Americas say they want in large-scale electronic polls.

All bureaucratic government agencies need to find ways to slash their numbers at least in half, and be much-more efficient and effective than they are today. Refusal to raise the debt limit, and default on our international loans would be one catastrophic way to force our corrupt government to live within its means. Does anyone else have a better way?

Information technology is part of the answer. I know from years of first-hand experience that our government computer systems are a disorganized disgusting redundant inefficient mess, with WAY TOO MUCH EAISILY-ELIMINATED MANUAL LABOR, SECRECY, AND MISCOMMUNICATION INVOLVED. 9/11/2001 was only a small demonstration, which has STILL not been completely corrected to this very day.

Do you think that those who currently have a choke hold on political power today will voluntarily give it up? Will they ever give us a chance to vote on it? HELL NO!

Sometimes it takes an avoidable crisis to bring about long-overdue structural innovation

In 2010, America was already bankrupt. Total federal government tax revenues were only enough to pay for mandatory spending (roughly 60% of our budget). Every other penny we spent was borrowed. We suicidally borrowed the money we used to pay for military, homeland security, FBI, CIA, FDA, CDC, infrastructure repairs, subsidies for big oil companies, farms, biofuel from food, schools, high-value research projects, big business bailouts, the salaries for government employees and EVERYTHING else.

Senator Alan Simpson (co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform) plainly said:
"Our Congress and President are STUPID!"

On our current stupid path, our insane federal government spending would look like this in 2020:

 

President Obama said that by 2025, our entire U.S. budget would be consumed by:
Social Security, Interest, Medicare and Medicaid alone

Baby Boomer Alzheimer's Disease will consume the entire Medicare budget
(aggravated by boomer permissive drug abuse and avoidable bad lifestyle choices)

There will be NO FEDERAL MONEY AVAILABLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE
We might be spending over a TRILLION dollars a year just for interest !

 

"Fiat Currency" Always Collapses Catastrophically

The Latin word “fiat” means “an arbitrary decree by a presumed authority” or “a legally binding order.”

No nation can be created and maintained by bureaucratic fiat alone. It does not matter that a country is ruled by a blood-line pharaoh, caesar, emperor, violent autocratic military dictatorship, communism, socialism, representative republic, democracy, or religious theocracy – ALL GOVERNMENTS RECEIVE THEIR POWER AND AUTHORITY THROUGH THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

If a sufficient number of subjects become sufficiently dissatisfied with their government, they can (and do) revolt and topple those who are responsible for the failure of the nation, often by violent revolution (as is happening around the world today).

The U.S. Declaration of Independence even formalized this process: “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.” - Which is likely to happen again in America very soon. The only questions are whether it will be violent and traumatic radical anarchy, or not.

Governments and government fiats exist only through the faith of those who voluntarily submit to them.

They are all faith-based institutions (even those governments that are atheistic).

“Fiat money” or a “fiat currency” is government-decreed “legal tender” (medium of exchange) that is created out of thin air and has no intrinsic value whatsoever other than blind, dumb faith in the institution that issued it (“the full faith and credit of the nation”).

Will Rogers talked about Great Depression fiat currency: "It must be marvelous to belong to some legislative body and just pick money out of the air." . . . "The budget is a mythical beanbag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, and then tries to reach in and pull real beans out." . . . "A man can make a million over night and he is on every page in the morning. But it never tells who gave up the million he got. You can't get money without taking it from somebody."

 

No one is required to accept any intrinsically-worthless fiat currency. A merchant may demand to be paid in blueberries, or anything else of value to the vendor. Historically, eggs and chickens have been used to pay for medical treatment, etc.

"Time banks" are emerging that allow one to exchange hours of their time for the products or services of other time bank members. Formalized barter systems can survive and thrive among local individuals when a fiat currency totally collapses due to irresponsible government corruption.

The medium of exchange for all financial transactions is negotiable, no matter what the government-fiat legal tender may be.

When a government falters, or the nation enters a recession, rapid inflation can occur and the value of the fiat-currency legal tender of the day may plummet precipitously.

Since World War II, ten of the United States’ eleven recessions were triggered by rapid increases in the pump price of petroleum. Rising energy prices greatly devalue any fiat currency.

Paper fiat money originated in 11th century China. It gained widespread use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The “Yuan” (¥) is still the name of the “Renminbi” fiat currency of the People’s Republic of China today. Without major economic disruption, in this one instance, the Yuan fiat money concept has survived for a thousand years (with significant changes in worldwide marketplace purchasing power).

For most of human history, the “currency of the realm” was based on something with perceived intrinsic value – a rare commodity with finite availability. For thousands of years, gold was the currency of pharaohs and kings. Silver was the currency of the common man.

Judas Iscariot was the keeper of Jesus disciples' common purse. Judas eventually betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver - two thousand years ago.

Loyalty can be bought and sold with the legal tender of the day, but, Does money make one happy? When Judas realized what he had done, he hanged himself.

I Timothy 6:10 "The love of money is the root of all evil." The accumulation and love of fiat money is beyond foolish insanity. Selfish greed creates suicidal crises.

Christian Economics - Acts 2:44-45 "All that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need." They were in mutually-supportive "one accord." They had "favor with all the people" and their numbers and motivation increased so rapidly, that Emperor Constantine the Great made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire by fiat.

Such "Communism" is totally rejected by almost all who claim to be Christians today. Soviet Union secular communism most certainly failed (without the love and compassion that was preached by Jesus).

Most young Christians are now brought up to believe that socialists are lazy. American children are taught that socialists have no motivation to work, innovate or reach higher levels of human performance.

Teachers preach that competitive capitalism is the solution. Fiat-money capitalism brings with it many serious selfish suicidal social evils, which are making the world tremble today.

We are long overdue to make radical improvements to our obsolete economic and monetary systems.

The desire to make ever-increasing amounts of money is NOT a good goal. How much money is enough to be happy with your life? Profiteers care nothing about damaging the environment or exploitation of fellow human beings.

Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Fiat currency facilitates the measure of self-serving capitalist "success" (until the currency collapses). In contrast, true historical Christians distributed their possessions based on need, which motivated higher levels of symbiotic synergist human performance from those who gratefully received the generosity of others. Few humans have a clue today.

100% of all U.S. Dollars are created by for-profit bankers from nothing but thin air - based on endless debt
There are 12 different Federal Reserve Banks around the country that are owned by large PRIVATE banks

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You must work to pay off your debt. When you go to work, you submit to an autocratic dictatorship. You are most certainly NOT "FREE."

The following 2-part video (totaling 20 minutes) is one of the best explanations of today's
worldwide fraudulent "fiat currency" Ponzi schemes: PART 1 and PART 2

The following discussion assumes that you have viewed the above two-part critical video.

The Federal Reserve Bank "Modern Money Mechanics" booklet describes "the basic process of money creation in a 'fractional reserve' banking system."

Fractional reserve banking is immoral and unconstitutional. It is like overbooking airplane seats, assuming that some passengers will not show up. The red, white, and blue American 10% fractional reserve banking system is like selling 9 times more airplane tickets than you have seats - Way beyond insane foolish greed - Guaranteed to cause currency collapse.

100% of all U.S. Dollars are created by unregulated private bankers who refuse to be audited even by demand of the U.S. Congress.

The privately-owned "Federal Reserve Bank" (which unconstitutionally prints worthless money out of thin air) is no more a Federal Agency, than is Federal Express. Imagine if Federal Express refused to submit to an IRS tax audit, because their name contains the word "Federal." Would that stand for long? Their executives would be prosecuted and sent to jail, as should the "Fed" head.

The "Fed" is a privately-owned for-profit wealthy-banker entity, which by its own definition essentially enslaves everyone who accepts U.S. dollars in debt-based payment for services, goods and property that have real intrinsic value.

"In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper, deposits merely book entries." (Virtual bits in computer files) "Mainly, it is the confidence (blind faith) people have that they will be able to exchange such money for other financial assets and for real goods and services whenever they choose to do so."

In 2006, the "Fed" stopped publishing the (M3) money supply ludicrous amount of worthless dollars that they had created out of thin air.

M3 is currently estimated to be about $14 TRILLION.

Being a Fed banker is a very-profitable thing. The Fed charges interest on every worthless dollar they create out of thin air, AND they set the mandatory interest rate without government regulation or third-party audits. Who ultimately pays for the money supply interest charges? YOU and YOUR CHILDREN!

Suppose that an unconstitutional, unmonitored, private agency tried to charge you interest on the air you breathe. Would you quietly pay it forever, just because that is what your enslaved parents always did?

Do you care? Will you do anything to change our nation's irrational failing Ponzi-scheme monetary system? Will you just wait until it is too late to prevent the predictable catastrophic currency collapse, and total loss of all your dollar net worth? Is accumulating soon-to-be-worthless dollars a good goal for the life of your children?

We know for certain that Chief Fed private banker Ben Shalom Bernanke has repeatedly refused to allow Congress to audit their criminal behavior. He is also an astronomical BIG LIAR who testifies before the Senate that inflation is only 2.1%, while the price of gasoline and food has soared 80%, and the value of most American's income (in net buying power) has fallen precipitously. The Fed can say and do whatever they want - They prove that they are way above the law and even Congressional oversight. These bankers "own" the U.S. government. It does not matter what laws legislators write, when un-elected private bankers have a bold stranglehold on the nation's money supply, they can (and do) freely violate almost any law. This was the reason for the American revolution.

"an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution" - Benjamin Franklin (the ironic face on the U.S. $100 bill) Does America have an honest money system today? Are we long overdue for a fiat currency revolution? How traumatic will the inevitable dollar collapse be?

Intrinsically-worthless "fiat currency" has become the world's largest, unquestioned, FAITH-BASED RELIGION. When faith in the coin of the realm predictable falters due to out-of-control irresponsible debt, the nation that the currency is based upon will surely collapse catastrophically, as ALL impossible manipulative Ponzi schemes eventually must do.

The very nature of all worthless fiat-currency Ponzi schemes guarantees ongoing loan defaults and ultimate eventual complete economic bankruptcy. The new-millennium trend toward total collapse (since Bush / Cheney took office) is proof positive of where USA is now headed - very soon.

We have been warned hundreds of times, and seen countless historical fiat currency collapse examples,
BUT, we still continue to ignore even the guidance of our insightful founding fathers who tried to save us:

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation (plus interest), then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around (the banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - President Thomas Jefferson

Have you noticed an increase in bank foreclosures and homelessness recently? Banks loan worthless Ponzi-scheme dollars, but then they illegally steal real property through immoral foreclosure.

"The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson" - President Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933

The inescapable fact is that America's Federal Reserve Bank fiat currency financial system now appears to be badly broken beyond repair. We can only hope to rebuild a superior monetary system solution, out of the ashes of long-foretold future anarchy.

Are you prepared for the tremendous traumatic transition?

 

Before the Federal Reserve was created in 1914,
the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar INCREASED

Since WW I and the creation of the Federal Reserve Banks in 1914,
the U.S. Dollar has become almost worthless

Ending the Gold Standard gave way to destruction of the U.S. Dollar fiat currency

The 1982 change in Consumer Price Index calculation tried to hide the Truth

For 110 years, USA was the world's largest innovator and manufacturer

We exported our valuable advanced-technology goods around the world
This profitable economic engine has catastrophically ceased to function

Now, USA merely exports almost-worthless dollars, which will soon
no longer be accepted as payment for the endless things that we import

The remaining USA wealth was transferred to greedy Wall Street Parasites

(1) Privately owned and operated for-profit Federal Reserve Bank's declining
fiat dollars, (2) USA deficit spending, and (3) corrupt politics are largely to blame

Print one of these - Take it to Walmart and learn the true value of fiat-currency U.S. Dollars

Bernanke Bucks are made of thin air - They have NO intrinsic value at all

America's outta money - Ain't got NO credit score
Don't worry 'bout dat, Ben'll create a Trillion more

How much interest will your children pay this LIAR
to borrow 15 Trillion worthless dollars from him?

In 2008, Ben secretly sent $5 Trillion to bail out European Banks
(over three times USA's annual budget deficit)
European bailouts are adding debt to our U.S. grandchildren and destroying the value of the dollar

 

So many people have become so aware of Bernanke's ongoing crimes against USA
that he cannot go out in public without an armed security guard with a pigtail earpiece,
who even escorts Ben inside our secure Capital Building -
Ben's insecurity spectacle reminds me of gangster Al Capone's entourage

 

In the history of America, there have only been three people who
understood the politics of our experimental form of government:
Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and Forest Gump's mother (as if)

Will Rogers most-certainly understood the Fed better than does Ben Bernanke.
Will Rogers 1930: "The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to have fallen
on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raised the amount of interest
from 5 to 6 percent. Any business that can't survive a 1 percent raise must
be skating on mighty thin ice . . . But let Wall Street have a nightmare and
the whole country has to help get them back in bed again."

"There is two things that can disrupt business in this country.
One is war and the other is a meeting of the Federal Reserve."

Radical Revolution From The 99% Oppressed Draws Nearer Every Day

 

Worldwide Currency Purchasing Power Decline

Since WW II, the U.S. emerged as most of the world's fiat-money "reserve currency."

When the USD declines, it brings the whole world monetary systems down with it,
as an observant person can plainly see graphically:

 

Countries (like our major creditor China) are trying to divest themselves
of declining U.S. Dollars, and then end it's use as their reserve currency

China is now the world's largest innovator and manufacturer,
and THEY can set any reserve currency standard they want to

China does NOT want to destroy the USD while they hold over a Trillion

China's Xinhua news agency accused U.S. politicians of playing a "dangerously irresponsible . . . game of chicken" over the debt ceiling. They wrote that the rest of the world had been "kidnapped" by American politics. Beijing is deeply concerned over unstable U.S. dollar debt default. Xinhua said many countries will be in the "impact zone" when the U.S. defaults. "With leadership comes responsibility. It is unfortunate and disappointing that when political leaders in Washington spar over who is doing good for their country, they take little account of the world's economic soundness . . . Given the United States' status as the world's largest economy and the issuer of the dominant international reserve currency, such political brinkmanship in Washington is dangerously irresponsible. , , , It risks, among other consequences, strangling the still-fragile economic recovery of not only the United States but also the world as a whole."

The Chinese People's Daily warned of the consequences of a U.S. debt default - It would badly hurt the U.S. dollar and trigger a "torrential flood of liquidity" (worthless fiat currency) into the global economy, fuelling inflation in delicate emerging all economies. China does NOT want America to be such a terrible threat to the world, and therefore China is anxious to reduce dependency on, and support of, the U.S. dollar. China is the largest American creditor, but that is about to change dramatically in the near future. American politics push the rapidly-declining dollar way past the international collapse tipping point.

After Standard and Poors downgraded America's credit rating (for very good reasons), Xinhua wrote: "China has every right now to DEMAND the United States address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets. International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country."

To accomplish the goal of replacing the USD with a different reserve currency,
China is wisely using their declining U.S. Dollars to buy hard assets with
real intrinsic future value (just like India wisely did with gold in 2008)

China is investing heavily in infrastructure, while USA CUTS FUNDING
China is now doing what America used to do to create prosperity long ago

Has your corporation or government been as growth-oriented as China ?

 

 

The U.S. Dollar has been driven off a cliff
It is in complete free fall, and poised for
total destruction when it hits rock bottom (soon)

"So far, so good" said the fool who fell off a 1,000-foot cliff
while he was still 50 feet above the ground

The U.S. Dollar is clearly a failed faith-based fiat currency
How much is the full faith and credit in the USA worth today?

Do you think that the suicidal policies that created the current
currency crisis are going to change any time soon?

 

 

The longer anyone holds U.S. Dollars, the more net worth they lose
Dump your declining dollars NOW - Invest in your local community coop

 

China wants to become much less dependent on exports to America
As USA collapses, China wants to develop other sources of revenue

With $3 Trillion from Americans, China is bailing out Europe
China is now buying Euro-based bonds at bargain prices
If this reduces China's investment in U.S. bonds, it will accelerate
the collapse of the U.S. bond market, fiat currency, and economy

 

When China's current goal is accomplished, the U.S. Dollar WILL collapse,
and China will no longer want or need to loan America any more money
What will a stupid country that borrows over 40% of what it spends do then ?
China will own significant worldwide hard assets with intrinsic real value
China will have used American technology to become the world's economic leader

 

America's entire deficit-spending declining economy is not just unsustainable,
IT IS BY DESIGN SELF-DESTRUCTIVELY SUICIDAL

The largest outrage is that there seems to be no widespread outrage !

Very few are preparing for the predictable

 

 

Constant Dollar False Assumption by Non-Learning Dummies

You may have more dollars today than you did a few years ago, but EACH ONE IS WORTH MUCH LESS

It would take over 715 U.S. dollars in 2011 to be worth the purchasing power of one hundred 2001 dollars
(relative to the purchasing power of gold and other hard-asset commodities with intrinsic real value)

IF you could find an FDIC-insured savings account that would pay you a whopping 8% net interest after taxes,
you would ONLY be losing about 10% of your net worth every year, as Bernanke destroys the value of all dollars

When the dollar and the FDIC both totally collapse (soon), your dollar investment may become totally worthless

It is spectacularly stupid to save rapidly-collapsing U.S. dollars - Invest in hard assets with intrinsic real value.
When the dollar collapses, food will be precious - One good investment is in an efficient LOCAL food coop.
(We are NOT selling anything here but just plain talk and local community survival common sense.)

Governments know that the dynamics of policy-based inflationary economics are too complex for the simple-minded mediocre majority to comprehend. It involves complex mathematics like "takeawayfroms" and "goesintos", which are way beyond most non-learning dummies. (snicker)

Inflation is a convenient way to Steal Real Value from stupid people who continue to vote to re-elect the corrupt criminal treacherous tyrants currently in office. Approval of Congress is only 9%, but re-election of incumbents is about 92%. How stupid is that?

The problem is that this form of inflationary immoral theft cannot go on for multiple centuries. Once the government has stolen and spent over 90% of a nation's net worth, the faith-based fiat currency MUST collapse catastrophically. It has ALWAYS happened throughout history. There has NEVER been one ancient or modern exception.

America has used up all of its economic ammunition. We are nearly out of silly silver bullets and fiat-currency smart bombs.

We are not talking about a possible future. USA has already borrowed far beyond a rational national credit limit, and created so much fiat money out of thin air, that the dollar is worth less than two cents. Our squanderlust government has paid for short-term hamburgers and pork with credit cards, and we now cannot even afford the minimum payment on them.

The next small step is a U.S. Dollar that is worth ZERO, ZIP, NADA - Nothing at all

What will Americans then use to pay for our enormous addiction to imported goods ?

Your local WalMart shelves will be empty - Very few businesses will survive in their current form

Everything you know about how to live day to day will turn upside down

Your family's ability to continue to exist will depend on your local community

 

Would you sell a loaf of bread for
one thousand Zimbabwe Dollars ?

Would you loan Zimbabwe anything,
and expect it to ever be repaid ?

This IS the direction of the rapidly-declining U.S. Dollar
Why are U.S. Dollar holders so oblivious to the Truth ?

All fiat currency ALWAYS collapses from corruption
When it happens again and again, why is anyone surprised ?

 

Consider The 2008 - 2011 Pump Price Of Petroleum Products

When the pump price of petroleum products hit $4 USD per gallon in the summer of 2008, USA's economy began to enter a huge recession. A thousand trucking companies, 8 airlines, General Motors, Lehman Brothers, etc. all went bankrupt. Millions of Americans lost their jobs, and their homes were foreclosed. By the end of 2011, when oil was over $100 per barrel, 15 airlines in America (including ALL major legacy carriers) had filed for bankruptcy. Simply cutting labor costs, not paying your bills, and reducing quality and safety does NOT solve the price-of-oil problem. America's oil-addicted transportation system is absolutely unsustainable. It must radically change very soon.

$4 gas blew an unprecedented $15 Trillion hole in the net worth of the USA in the Fall of 2008. By the end of 2011, American homeowners had lost $7.2 Trillion in real estate equity, due to unemployment and foreclosures caused by unsustainable oil price.

Is anyone paying attention to oil addiction cause and effect? When will we STOP suicidally making and buying things that depend on the world's declining supply of deadly oil?

 

Subsidizing General Motors

GM top management and automotive engineers are spectacularly-obsolete, poorly-educated, propagators of bankrupt business-as-usual stupidity.

For 15 years, GM has not been able to read the Toyota Prius shop manuals, take one apart, and come up with anything anywhere close to the 50 mpg "Hybrid Synergy Drive."

The "hope of the future" U.S. taxpayer-subsidized GM Chevy Volt is an unsafe, deadly, inefficient, unaffordable, laughable joke.

In contrast, the 1997 all-electric GM Saturn EV1 went over 100 miles per charge (mpc). Multiple international vendors now offer cost-effective 100 mpc electric cars. The Chevy Volt only gets 35 mpc, or less (at night, with the A/C running, or on steep terrain). The Volt takes 4 hours to recharge so it will go only 35 miles - NOT a practical all-electric vehicle.

When the Chevy Volt operates in gasoline mode, it gets less than 74% of the mpg of a same-size more-comfortable Toyota Prius (35 mpg city / 37 overall). Unlike the efficient Prius, the Volt REQUIRES MORE-EXPENSIVE PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL. If you consider the higher-per-gallon premium-fuel cost, the net effective mpg of the Volt is even less.

The far-superior proven Prius only costs 2/3 the price of a Chevy Volt, WITHOUT ANY TAXPAYER SUBSIDY FOR THE PRIUS.

The lithium-ion batteries in the Chevy Volt have a well-known deadly safety hazard. If they are charged or discharged too rapidly, or unevenly, they explode and burn violently. This can happen when the electronics fail, or after a crash. Other electric vehicle manufacturers understood this life-critical problem and designed safe solutions for it long ago.

Obsolete GM tried to "reinvent the electric wheel" with the Volt, and GM FAILED TO DELIVER A SAFE ELECTRIC VEHICLE. Government testing of the GM Volt discovered multiple fires from the poorly-engineered battery system and electronics. GM OFFERED TO BUY BACK ALL POTENTIALLY-DEADLY CHEVY VOLTS.

Was your taxpayer subsidy money well spent? Is Chevy Volt inferior billion-dollar American engineering the future of our declining manufacturing base?

What else is GM doing with taxpayer bailout money? GM used U.S. subsidies to expand their manufacturing plants in China - sending more jobs overseas. GM used U.S. subsidies to develop unsafe 190-mph gas-guzzling 500+ horsepower Cadillac, Corvette, and Camero muscle cars.

Current U.S. C.A.F.E. standards require all cars to achieve a minimum of 39 mpg by 2016. Obama set in motion progress toward a minimum of 54.5 mpg cars in the future. Europe already has off-the-shelf 4-passenger cars with 75-to-100 mpg.

NOT ONE PENNY OF TAXPAYER FUNDING SHOULD PAY FOR ANY CAR THAT GETS LESS THAN 54.5 mpg (especially those made overseas)!

Do YOU think that your taxpayer dollars should be used to fund the development of the hazardous, inferior, poor-performance, GM Chevy Volt, or 500+ hp deadly 190 mph expensive gas guzzlers?

 

American Bankers

In a speech to the American Bankers Association convention in New York City in 1923, Will Rogers said: "You have a wonderful organization. I understand you have ten thousand here. And if you count the ones in the various federal prisons, it brings your total membership up to around thirty thousand."

Will Rogers 1924: "Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses, which has proved to be nothing." . . . 1927: "If a bank fails in China, they behead the men at the top of it that was responsible . . . If we beheaded all of ours that were responsible for bank failures, we wouldn't have enough people left to bury the heads." . . . 1934: "The bankers just got a good cussing by everybody for loaning too much money. Well, they got some awful nice buildings. So when a banker fails, he fails in splendor."

American banking has essentially not changed much in a century. Similar things happened in 2008, but this time we did not send the criminal bankers to prison - They are too big to fail, and clearly above the law. The same largely-unregulated U.S. banking system still exists today (as it did during the Great Depression) - but our fiat currency cannot survive much longer.

When we add the pressure of Past Peak Unsustainable Oil Addiction, collapse is now imminent.

 

When gasoline returned to $4 per gallon in the Spring of 2011, the damage to our our economy was not as bad as 2008. Why Not?

 

In the Summer of 2008, the price of one ounce of gold was about $880 USD
In the late Spring of 2011 gold was $1540 USD per ounce (before the Bush / Cheney crash)

The intrinsic real value of gold is essentially constant

The gold purchasing power of the Spring 2011 U.S. Dollar
dropped to only 57% of what it was in the Summer of 2008

Mediocre minds can NOT keep up with fiat dollar dynamics:

A 2011 dollar bill looks like a 2008 dollar;
it may even be the same piece of paper, BUT,
the value of a dollar in 2008 was much more
than a worth-less 2011 U.S. dollar

 

In the Summer of 2008, an ounce of gold was worth 220 gallons of gas

In the Spring of 2011, an ounce of gold was worth 385 gallons of gas
(even though the price of gas was $4 USD / gallon in 2008 and 2011)

USD purchasing power (to buy gold) fell 43% from Summer 2008 to Spring 2011

When we adjust 2011 $4 / gallon gasoline for USD inflation, 2011 gas was only
$2.28 per gallon - measured in summer 2008 USD (relative to the price of gold)

 

You had the legal right to buy gold in 2008, as India did for $880 / oz
If you did not buy gold, you probably lost 43% of your USD net worth
(This strategy may not work in the future - The value of gold may collapse when the world is starving)

 

Ben Bernanke testified that the reason the U.S. recovery is so slow is because
of the high price of oil. THIS IS A GIGANTIC LIE to cover up the Truth !
"Sustained rises in the prices of oil or other commodities would represent
a threat both to economic growth and to overall price stability"

That was just as true in 1973 as it is today - USA continues to ignore history

The $4 / gallon USA pump price of gasoline must soon go much higher, due to:
(1) increased worldwide demand, (2) declining supply, and (3) fiat money inflation

It is curious that the Fed dropped fuel and food price from CPI calculations
The CRB Index is now a much more accurate indicator of inflation than the CPI:

The USD price of gold and the CRB tell the truth - Bernanke Clearly LIES!

The simple Truth is that Bernanke's Federal Reserve "Quantitative Easing"
has STOLLEN TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of net worth from Americans,
and squandered it on ineffective pork-barrel political projects for the corrupt
U.S. Congress, leaving our grandchildren deep in $14T of unpayable debt

2011 $4 / gallon gasoline is a Big BARGAIN (relative to the 2008 $4 price)

 

"We are on the verge of financial collapse"
"The bond market could collapse any day now"
- Popular Governor Gary Johnson (successful entrepreneur)

The time to own bonds is when: (a) Interest rates are high, (b) Interest rates are beginning to fall,
and (c) The inflation rate is less than the net yield on bonds after taxes - This is a rare situation
Do NOT make the incorrect assumption that the value of the underlying currency is constant

The time to dump bonds is when: (a) Interest rates are low, (b) Interest rates cannot fall lower,
and / or when (c) the value of the underlying bond currency is falling (rapidly)

America cannot afford to pay the low interest rate on our #14+ Trillion of growing unpayable debt,
much less the principle on the money we owe - SO we must borrow money to make the
minimum payment on our gigantic unprecedented credit cards

What would happen if your family did that? How long before you went bankrupt?

America finances its debt by selling low-interest-rate bonds that rapidly go down in purchasing power
In the past, the majority of our bonds were sold overseas - Now only about one half that amount are

Japan has no more money to buy our declining bonds, which are a rotten investment
China and OPEC (particularly Saudi Arabia) are now taking the hundreds of billions of dollars
that USA pays them for their exports to us, and they are buying Euro bonds,
which pay them one-and-a-half percent more than U.S. Bonds

America cannot afford to pay today's low Federal Reserve Bank interest rates,
much less the rate that China and OPEC are receiving from European Bonds

Who will loan USA money so we can keep borrowing over 40% of every dollar we spend?

NO ONE! The U.S. Bond Market is on the verge of total collapse - any day now
No one can predict the exact day or trigger event with certainty,
but the downward dollar trend is irrefutable, with no change in sight

We are much worse off now than we were just before The Great Depression

Wall Street and International Investors are racing along merrily toward a well-marked cliff

Many will die after the imminent cataclysmic currency crash -
Formerly-wealthy greedy special interest groups will claim that their status quo will save us

Those that survive and thrive in the future will have to live within their means,
in harmony with the Laws of Nature, and with each other - Nothing like today

Emerald Eco-City Is the shovel-ready plan to make that happen quickly

Humanity CAN overcome all of the problems that humans created,
AFTER we hit rock bottom and have no other available options

"Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing
- after they have exhausted all other possibilities."
- Sir Winston Churchill

 

People who refuse to study history condemn themselves to forever repeat its worst mistakes
America is now very close to a terrible collapse - much worse than The Great Depression

 

Millions homeless and hungry, despite fabulous new technology and very-high productivity

 

There is one crucial reason for unemployment and poverty in America today:
Our millionaires want to accumulate more wealth - They have NO compassion for others
They could easily create millions of local new jobs and incentives for willing workers
Their selfish profit motive causes them to send American jobs overseas
Wealthy oppressors refuse to live in harmony with Nature, or with each other

Their Selfish Greedy Prosperity Theology Is Extremely Anti-Christian

Our families need living-wage jobs, NOT handouts that demotivate people
Our mismanaged welfare state perpetuates poverty and oppresses the poor

The unemployed could quickly form coops and grow their own food,
but their grandparents forgot how to survive in harmony with Nature

Our government subsidizes unsustainability and does NOT invest in our future

 

In July 2011, Republican energy policy called for a REDUCTION in support
for sustainable free-fuel energy like solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal
They wanted to INCREASE U.S. billions of dollars of subsidies and tax breaks
for unsustainable, dirty, deadly: oil, coal, and nuclear energy

China is now the world's largest consumer of energy - Chinese utility companies are
required to install wind turbines and Beijing is paying part of the cost of solar equipment

China led the world in clean energy investment in 2010 at $54.4 billion, up 39% from 2009

In July 2011, the profits of some Chinese green energy companies doubled from July 2010
China aggressively invests in the future - Corrupt Republicans are destroying America's future

Most Americans learn nothing from the well-documented, frequently-repeated errors of the past

 

The Old Testament Book of Amos is the third of the twelve prophets. It does not matter what religion you are or are not - Amos describes the historical terrible way that wealthy aristocrats have always oppressed the poor and enslaved submissive workers for greedy profit. Amos accurately describes selfish human nature. Evangelists that preach ungodly Prosperity Theology never quote Amos. Consider these words from Amos chapter five: "These are the words of the Lord . . . You turn justice to poison and thrust righteousness to the ground, . . . you hate a man who brings the wrongdoer to court and you abominate him who speaks nothing less than the TRUTH . . . you levy taxes on the poor and extort a tribute of grain from them . . . You distress the righteous and accept bribes - And turn aside the poor from your gate."

The nature of those who love extortion and the accumulation of excessive oppressive wealth remains exactly the
same thousands of years later. We continue to be an evil unjust unsustainable society of non-learning fools

We must radically reinvent the very foundation of our demotivational economy that rewards oppressors
Anything less is self-inflicted selfish suicide for our entire society

 

The Great Depression, the 2008 Recession, and Amos SHOULD have taught us One Important Lesson:
Our corrupt gridlocked government, greedy bankers, and self-serving corporations haven't a clue what to do for you !

Most Americans that are polled give our leaders a vote of "No Confidence", but then re-elect them
Both political parties are worse than the other for the Greedy Declining American Way of Life
"The (bipartisan) thinking that created today's problems is insufficient to solve them." - Albert Einstein

 

God is just - The net worth of those who have accumulated millions of dollars may soon be zero
What will YOUR net worth be when our dollar-based economy predictably collapses ?

Will your family have sufficient healthy good food to eat if there is no gasoline available ?
Do you care about the well-documented unsustainable future trends for your posterity ?
Will your grandchildren remember you with admiration, or curse the legacy you left them ?

 

My first introduction to "fiat currency" inflation happen when I was in the first grade. My parents gave me just enough money to buy my favorite lunch in the school cafeteria. One day I handed my coins to the cashier and I learned that the price of my favorite chips had increased overnight from five cents to ten cents per bag. I did not have another nickel. She made me put my chips back. I was embarrassed in front of my classmates. I felt hungry and deprived all afternoon. I cried when I came home and told my loving sympathetic mother what had happened. The size and contents of the bag of chips was exactly the same. The economy had done me wrong. The sky was falling in on my little head. It seemed like there was no financial stability or security in the foreseeable future. In this silly case, there was a one-day reduction of the value of my coins by one half. It was one young child's early lesson about economic reality that I will always vividly remember (because of the emotions that it provoked):

THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE FAITH-BASED U.S. DOLLAR IS ALWAYS DECLINING - As a child, I learned that this is just the way things are. It was not my fault. I had no control over inflation. From that point on, I always kept an extra dime hidden in my pocket, and skepticism about the political leaders of our unfair nation.

Have you assimilated this important lesson yet? There is much to learn from the past about our probable future.

Some grade school students understand parts of history better than many adults. "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?"

Do you believe that Paul Revere made his midnight ride to "warn the British"? (as some low-IQ inDUHviduals now believe - chuckle)

It is not so much that popular would-be "leaders" are just plain STUPID
(History is full of arrogant inane leaders) "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes"

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" - William Shakespeare

"In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool" - Lord Chesterfield

The outrage is that complete fools have so many non-learning, ethnocentric, self-righteous, faithful followers

"Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch?"

 

We must NOT hate people for being stupid - We are ALL stupid, just in different ways -
When we learn something new, we think that people who think what we thought yesterday are stupid -
If YOU think you are right and everyone else is wrong, open your mind to the possibility you are wrong

The majority are often wrong, but SOMETIMES the majority do understand a few things better than you do
If you disagree with the majority of the people around you, make sure that you have SCIENTIC PROOF
If all you have is blind dumb faith in the impossible, others MUST be skeptical of your bigoted opinion

Do NOT be mislead by people who want to sell you something that can only be believed by faith in miracles,
lest you be fooled by many mutually-exclusive faith-based self-contradictory egotistical bigoted things

If it seems too good to be true, then REJECT IT, or demand rock-solid proof beyond reasonable doubt

Do not even believe anything that I write, until you validate it with other trustworthy sources

If you disagree with any of this, we would appreciate constructive criticism from you: ZEDmaster

Hate mongers are among the dumbest and most-sinister humans of all
Those who preach a dogmatic doctrine of destructive hatred are by definition WRONG

IF the stupidity of others is interfering with our own pursuit of happiness,
then we can have pity on them, try to get them to laugh at their own foolishness,
and offer free advice and wisdom that helps us avoid similar mistakes

If however, stupid people chose to continue being virulently-ignorant
militant hate mongers, then we may have to merely allow them to fail,
or incarcerate them if they become dangerous criminals

We must not enable stupidity that badly damages society

 

 

The recent history of Gold, Oil, and the U.S. Dollar - Have we learned anything at all?

Just before America reached Peak Oil Production and President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971, the legal value of gold was $35 per ounce. An ounce of gold was worth 175 gallons of gasoline at the pump. By the beginning of 1973, the value of the U.S. Dollar had fallen 47% to the point that the market price of gold was $65 / ounce. (I recognized that it was just like my bag of chips in grade school.)

The U.S. mid-west pump price of gasoline was still $0.20 per gallon in 1973. An ounce of gold was worth 325 gallons of gas. Do these numbers sound at all familiar, as the value of the U.S. Dollar fell precipitously, due to government-planned fiat currency Federal Reserve Bank rapid price inflation? I did not like it, but I did recognize what was happening to the economy.

Just after the first 1973 OPEC oil embargo, gas rationing, and long gas-station waiting lines, the price of gold was $112 / oz by the end of 1973. Gas rose 280% to about $0.56 / gallon. An ounce of gold was worth 200 gallons of gas. After the second major OPEC oil embargo in 1979, mid-west gasoline was $1.20 - an increase of 600% in only six years.

Gold rose to $512 by the end of 1979. An ounce of gold was worth 427 gallons of gasoline. The $1.20 pump price of gasoline was a SUPER BARGAIN, relative to the constant value of gold, but it was devastating to the U.S. economy, relative to the rapid devaluation of worth-less faith-based fiat dollars.

Can you begin to see the altogether-obvious corrupt-government long-term USD trend yet? Can you hear how 2008 harmonizes with the 1970's. Does history help intelligent people understand how to plan for the future?

In the 1970's, my conservative parents had savings invested at 5% interest in "safe" FDIC-insured banks. The greedy U.S. government STOLE significant net worth from them with Federal Reserve Bank double-digit inflation. The dollar-value of their lifetime savings accounts went up. They paid income tax on the interest, BUT their net purchasing power fell by one half. My mother and research-scientist father were well-educated intelligent people, but they failed to adapt fast enough to radical economic change. It was an unprecedented event for them. This had a profound impact on the rest of my creative life. It reinforced the fiat-currency (bag of chips) lesson that I had learned decades earlier in grade school.

 

The Perceived Market Value Of Gold

At $1900 per ounce, there was a $300 speculative premium in gold Q2 2011. Q2 2011, the demand for gold increased 26% year-over-year. But, even at $1600 per ounce in Q3 2011, the market perception of gold was still somewhat irrational.

Gold has multiple uses, including (1) a hedge against inflation (devaluation of worthless fiat currency), (2) jewelry (narcissistic conspicuous consumption - "I'm worth more than you are" arrogance), and (3) industrial.

Gold is non-corrosive and an excellent conductor of electricity. A billion electronic devices have gold-plated electrical contacts, etc. When these rapidly-evolving devices are discarded, the small quantity of gold in each device is usually not recovered. This is unsustainable irrational behavior.

Gold is a finite resource. Mining new gold is increasingly expensive. The cost of gold for industrial applications is like petroleum - It can only increase over the long term - until it eventually runs out.

There are roughly 31,000 tonnes of worldwide gold holdings today. The World Gold Council suggests that 52% is jewelry, 18% is held by central banks (like Fort Knox), 16% private investors, 12% industrial, and the rest unaccounted. The worldwide worthless fiat currency money supply far exceed the sum total of all gold in the entire world.

Gold has been used as a representation of royal wealth for 5,000 years.

 

Platinum is much-more precious than gold - The market is crazy

Modern knowledge of platinum is only a few hundred years old. Its chemical / industrial properties are superior to, and more valuable than, gold.

Like gold, platinum is non-corrosive, highly electrically conductive, soft and malleable. But, platinum is also a powerful catalyzing agent.

Platinum has been essential in industrial processes, and in the hydrogen fuels cells that provided electricity for 1960's man on the moon, and the space shuttle program.

IF platinum was abundant and cheap, Americans would have been driving electric cars with hydrogen fuel cells since the 1970's. BUT, platinum is extremely rare compared to gold. The sum total of all known mined platinum available on Earth today would probably fit into a single living room, or one semi-truck.

Historically, the market value of platinum has been much greater than gold, for good industrial, chemical, and scientific reasons.

When the worldwide speculative value of gold surpassed platinum - THE PRECIOUS METAL MARKET WAS EXTREMELY IRRATIONAL.

 

What would an intelligent person do in a terrible energy-based dollar-devaluation scenario ?

At the university (and as a research-lab intern during the summers), I studied to become an energy research scientist like my father, PLUS I added major degrees in business management and the emerging new field of Computing Science / Artificial Intelligence. This good fortune gave me me a truly-unique unprecedented new point of view.

When the price of gas increased by more-than 250% in a couple of months in 1973, I realized that M. K. Hubbert's 1956 Peak Oil predication was coming true in a dramatic way, and I had to react much faster than my parents did. I was already a successful energy research scientist, but I went out and obtained a real estate license, as a "hobby."

Why was I interested in a real estate license, when it was gasoline that was getting more expensive? I KNEW THAT THE PRICE OF ENERGY IMPACTS EVERYTHING. In the 1970's (but not today) real estate gave me the chance to "leverage" a small investment in assets that were rapidly appreciating. All of the pieces of a complex economic puzzle began to fall together in my futuristic imagination.

 

THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY YO TURN A BAD SITUATION INTO A GOOD ONE !

EVERY CRISIS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES - FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE PREPARED

 

In the 1970's, I bought 9 houses (by assuming existing loans), and rented the homes to my friends and young work associates. I watched my real estate investments greatly increase in dollar-value by heavily-leveraged double digits every year. Inflation more-than-doubled my income. I was not taking advantage of anyone. My renters (many recent college graduates) appreciated the service and good value that I gave them. My research-scientist salary was increasing over 20% per year, but my net worth increased more from double-digit leveraged investments than from my job. I quickly and quietly became a young self-made millionaire. My income tax rate went down, due to "depreciation" and capital gains treatment.

I analyzed the trends with computers. In college I told my parents that I was going to retire by age 40. I could see that real estate (in the 1970's) was a great short-term investment. I also knew that energy prices were the source of rampant inflation. Vacation travel was going to become more expensive, SO, I decided to build my first Zero Energy Design home - like a vacation resort - and take advantage of President Carter's new solar energy tax credits: win, Win WIN !

That strategy will not work today. Real estate is going down in value. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

In every season, there is an optimal strategy for success (by whatever measure you use for "success"). Intelligent people are sometimes the first ones to adapt when the situation changes radically (as is about to do with the total collapse of the faith-based U.S. fiat dollar). I no longer measure success in U.S. Dollars - Far from it, I am specifically divesting myself of declining-dollar-based assets.

I now care far more about living in harmony with Nature, and leaving a lasting legacy of accumulated wisdom for posterity. I have invested many years and resources so that you may read this material totally for free. I wrote it for my children, but then I published it for the whole needy world to see. This website has no way to generate any revenue. Pay attention or ignore it as you chose.

I was given many great gifts, education and experience for some important reason. "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee."

I have nothing to fear from death. I will meet my maker with great joy in my soul. I look forward to hearing: "Well done, my good and faithful servant." It motivates me to the highest level of loves-labor performance in my entire life. Just imagine how much love went into creating this website. I hope you can benefit from my life's work. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." "Want for your brother what you want for yourself" as I want for YOU.

Fiat money is counterproductive to my personal lifetime goals. "The love of money is the root of all evil." "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth." I have never owned a Rolex. Even as an accidental millionaire, I shopped at Walmart - preparing for the future. I no longer even own a $1 wrist watch, or wear any jewelry at all. I've forgotten how to tie the neck ties that I once wore at IBM. There is no more scratchy starch in any of my clothes.

My inspiration is never ending. I never have writer's block. I sit at the keyboard, and the words flow from my fingers like many bolts of lighting from above. I believe that it is much more than just the product of an isolated human brain.

I should have died in 2007, but for some reason, I have been kept alive and well until the purpose for my earthly life has been completely fulfilled.

I now turn toward the great emerald-green beauty of Nature - away from conspicuous consumption. Worldly possessions are no longer a measure of my personal net worth. I am comfortable and satisfied with what I need to survive and contribute my nerdy knowledge to the needy world.

"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, and luxury have always seemed to me contemptible." - Albert Einstein

I think that Universal Consciousness and the Love of Nature are Godly Goals, and Measures of Maturity. You are welcome to your own opinion.

There is some reason that you are reading these words right now. I hope that this helps you develop and accomplish your own good goals, even though I may never know your name.

You may even read these words after I am long gone. Remember that I was thinking of you as I wrote them. I hope that one day I will see you smile from wherever my spirit is.

I hope your life is worthy of praise from your grandchildren.

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOUR FIAT MONEY COLAPSES IN THE NEAR FUTURE?

Are you preparing TODAY for the predicable? Will you be able to feed your family tomorrow?

How bad will things have to get before you learn what "unsustainable" really means?

Is everything you need within walking distance of your current home?

Will there be food on supermarket shelves? What will you use for money?

Do you have seeds and skills to grow your own food in a year-round greenhouse?

"God helps those who help themselves" is a platitude that is NOT found in the Bible.
Throughout history, human needs have been met through value provided to the community.

Will YOU add significant value or excessive burden to your future community?

Will your fossil-fuel-dependent home freeze in the winter?

Will your petroleum-powered vehicles have any value at all?

Most people say: "If things get that bad, we'll all be in trouble"
- Yup - Will you be a dummy and march off the cliff along with fellow fools?

 

America wastes over $600 Billion dollars per year importing foreign oil
(for inefficient vehicles, heating obsolete homes in the winter, and harmful petrochemicals)
A major portion of the USA military budget goes to secure access to imported oil, plus oil
companies receive billions in subsides and tax breaks, which doubles the true price of oil

OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia are converting their USD into hard assets
They are building up their national infrastructure, and buying
U.S. real estate at greatly-reduced current recession prices

Dubai built the world's tallest building, and an indoor ski slope in the desert
using U.S. dollars that foolhardy Americans continue to send to them every day

Foreign oil is the largest insane transfer of wealth in human history

American addiction to imported oil is absolutely self-destructive suicidal !

USA REFUSES to live within its resource-and-economic sustainable means
Osama bin Laden said that he attacked USA because we stole Arabian oil for a paultry sum

Since 1973, we have clear proof that the price of energy has a dramatic impact
on inflation, and our entire non-learning imported-oil-addicted U.S. economy

Overseas outsourcing is helping tens of millions of people in China and India
climb out of poverty every year - They are now buying millions of new cars
This increases the worldwide competition for the dwindling supply of oil

Countries receiving USD are wisely buying hard assets with real intrinsic value

In 2008, India was the world's largest importer of huge amounts of gold
They are being paid in USD dollars, which they believe will soon collapse

India exchanged USD for gold at $800-to-$1,000 USD per ounce in 2008
In hindsight, India's foresight was exactly the right thing for them to do
Outsourcing and inflation increased their net worth (measured in USD)

Was your investment advisor as smart as the government in India in 2008? R U ?

Unsustainable Exponential Compound Growth and Decline Food Trends

(1) As worldwide population continues to explode exponentially (from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 7 billion in 2011), billions more people will soon want cars. Demand for oil (and oil prices) will skyrocket, while Past Peak worldwide oil supplies will sharply decline. We will very soon have no choice but to eliminate oil from our food chain. The sooner we get started, the less traumatic the total transformation will be for our children.

(2) Freshwater supply aquifers are drying up - due to water over extraction. Man-made global warming, desertification and deforestation are increasing droughts and famines. Urbanization and population growth are converting over a million acres per year into urban sprawl. Worldwide farmland has been declining rapidly since year 2000, while planet population is increasing exponentially with a compound growth rate increase in demand for food. Over a billion people are starving on less than one cup of food per day.

(3) USA food imports have increased 400% in only one decade. Starving countries like Haiti are sending food to gluttonous morbidly-obese Americans. FDA food inspectors are monitoring FEWER shipments of imported food - resulting in increasing death rates from food-borne diseases. MOST American food import ports have NO FDA INSPECTORS AT ALL. Bad food exporters know very-well how to get their contaminated food into USA. 2011 Republican maniacs are trying to REDUCE funding for food safety monitoring, so they can give tax breaks and subsidies to parasitic economy-destroying billionaires.

(4) From the time that Bush / Cheney took office until mid-2011, the value of the U.S. dollar fell 85% (relative to gold). In less than two years, food and fuel prices jumped up about 80%. Our government subsidizes low-quality high-fat and high-fructose diabetes-causing factory food. As oil prices continue to rise in the future, low-quality, deadly food will become increasingly more expensive. Is this the legacy you want to leave your children?

CSA greenhouses offer solutions for all of these deadly well-documented trends:

Did your USD income and savings portfolio double from 2008 to 2011 ?
If not, U.S. government fiat currency stole real net worth from you,
and your standard of living is rapidly declining

On the other hand, inequitable U.S. government policies helped
many parasitic Wall Street billionaires double their net worth,
while they received taxpayer bailouts, subsidies, and huge tax breaks

What could America do with one Trillion dollars in wasted bailout money ?
We could build 13 Emerald Eco-Cities for 13 million happy prosperous people !
Instead of making a handful of Wall Street billionaires much richer

 

Is this the burdensome legacy you want to leave your children's children ?
What are YOU going to do to change your nation's suicidal trend ?

 

THE PURCHASING POWER OF FIAT CURRENCY IS NOT CONSTANT

Only Blind Dummies think that 2008 $4 gas was the same price as 2011 $4 gas

 

 

Is the Stock Market Up or Down? Only Non-Learning Dummies think that the stock market is going up

Foolish people look at the Wall Street Dow Jones Industrial Average and say: "Our economy must be doing well - See how the Dow is UP."

They are using the false assumption that the value of the dollar is constant, when it is actually declining rapidly. The ignored Truth is graphical.

More Fiat-Currency U.S. Dollars Result In LOWER NET WORTH
as U.S. Dollar precipitous purchasing power rapidly declines

 

Stock Brokers who predict "too good to be true" endless growth and prosperity
will always find endless shortsighted fools to pay their commissions
- Liars profit greatly by promoting the constant dollar fallacy

Non-learning entities ignore or quickly forget events that
work against their selfish greed and love of money motivation

"There ain't but one thing wrong with every one of us in the world,
and that's selfishness" - Will Rogers

It is curious that the most-selfish people tend to be the biggest losers

 

The hopeless suicidal fiat-money inflation trend is irrefutable

The future value of the worth-less U.S Dollar is 100% predictable

Fiat Currency ALWAYS Collapses, due to greed and corruption
That is why the U.S. founding fathers made worthless paper ILLEGAL !
Corrupt Congressional Criminals Violate The U.S. Constitution:

U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 10:
"No State shall … coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing
but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."

Printing Fiat Currency Is A Federal Crime of Enormous Theft from the
mediocre majority who haven't a clue about "takeawayfroms" and "goesintos"!

 

Add up all of the money that you have made since 2001
Subtract the taxes you paid for: federal / state / local income,
capital gains, Social Security, Medicare, gasoline tax, sales tax,
property tax, etc. then take away from that about 84% for the net worth
that was STOLEN from you by faith-based Fed fiat currency devaluation

The U.S. government took almost everything middle-class people made,
and left them (you) with a mere pittance for the last ten years of work
Most American's net worth declined since Bush / Cheney took office

You are clearly an indentured slave of the government that YOU elected
Your entire family is owned by debt to Ben Shalom Bernanke

The current government exists only by the consent of the governed
You got exactly what the mediocre majority did (or did not) vote for
80% of brain-dead enslaved Americans didn't even take the time to vote!
Those who tolerate government corruption have no right to complain
Unpunished convicted criminals like Rep. Charlie Rangel keep getting reelected

How many people have YOU convinced to vote against corruption ?
Whatever your answer, it obviously was not enough !

 

Is your purchasing-power net worth more or less now than 2001 ?

When will you be worth ZERO or have negative net worth ?
(For millions of Americans, that day has already arrived)

How much longer can you expect to make a living wage ?
Will there be any welfare available when you lose your job, home,
and gas-guzzling SUV's, and the U.S. Dollar is worth ZERO ?

 

Is your future based on faith in the USD, or something with real value ?

 

Should you invest in high-technology company stocks ?

In 1993, Al Gore and Bill Clinton set the "Information Superhighway" in motion (using 1972 Internet technology). In only 8 years, almost every public school had access to the worldwide web. It was an explosive time in tech stock speculation. Alan Greenspan (the Fed Head) said it was "irrational exuberance" - which triggered the tech bubble burst.

March 10, 2000, Microsoft stock was $101 per share. If we adjust that number for subsequent dividends and stock splits, Microsoft stock was worth $40 per share.

By June 10, 2011, the adjusted close of Microsoft stock was $23.71 per share. IF the value of the USD had remained constant from 2000 to 2011, you would have lost one third of your investment in Microsoft. BUT, the value of the U.S. Dollar has fallen precipitously, so 2011 Microsoft stock is worth roughly 10% of 2000 Microsoft stock price, relative to the purchasing power of gold.

Millions of naive people have lost a great deal of net worth by investing in the trailing-edge-technology low-software-quality poorly-managed Microsoft corporation, and other stocks on the NASDAQ technology stock composite index. Many arrogant "investment advisor" fools make money by telling YOU what to do.

Have you ever known anyone dumb enough to recommend that you buy and hold Microsoft stock? Did you? Did you pay a commission for their bad advice? Are you sorry that you did? Have you learned anything from the expensive experience?

On June 10, 2011 the NASDAQ peaked at 5,048, and the market price of gold was $292 per ounce. The NASDAQ was worth about 17.3 ounces of gold.

On June 10, 2011 the NASDAQ was 2,644 - down 48% from it's 2000 high (assuming constant value of the USD, which is FALSE). Gold was $1529 / oz.

On June 10, 2011, the NASDAQ was only worth about 1.73 ounces of gold - Almost exactly 10% of what the NASDAQ was worth in 2000 - A 90% loss over the 11+ year period.

After seeing Great Depression Wall Street shenanigans, and gambling losses of those who bet on horses,
Will Rogers said:"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket."

Do YOU still own declining NASDAQ stock that you had in 2000? Does your mutual fund or pension fund own Microsoft?

Do you still think that Wall Street stocks are a wise long-term investment?

For the NASDAQ to merely break even, it should be over 26,432, measured in worth-less 2011 U.S. Dollars

Give me a call when the U.S. Dollar recovers, and gold is less than $300 per ounce again

Wake me when the NASDAQ is over 27,000 and rising - It jus' ain't gonna happen!

Corruption only leads downhill - Recovery is not remotely possible with the current Fed policies, deregulation, and debt in place

USA needs to declare bankruptcy, throw the criminal thieves in Federal Prison without parole, and start all over again
- Living sustainability within our resources in harmony with Nature and each other - Anything less is too little too late

If we do not do it voluntarily, revolutionary economic collapse, starvation, and widespread anarchy will do it for us very soon - The only reason it has not already happened is foolish faith in the unsustainable stupidity du jour.

Most Wall Street stock prices have been declining in net purchasing power faster than the faith-based U.S. Dollar fiat currency - made by profiteers out of nothing but thin air

Do you agree with the insane Republican idiots who still want to privatize Social Security and move it into the stock market?

Do you agree with the criminal Congress that steals from the Social Security Trust Fund to finance their vote-buying pork-barrel deficit-spending political projects?

 

Faith-based U.S. Fiat Dollars may soon have very-few uses:

Are you working hard to accumulate declining dollars ?

Are you pleased with your return on savings investments (relative to gold) ?

IF (when) the value of the USD falls near zero, how will your family survive ?

Will you have year-round food to eat ?

Are you in total denial of the unavoidable documented TRUTH ?

Do you believe in Ben Bernanke's insane policies and fraudulent LIES ?

Do you trust politicians from any party to correct the crises they created ?

"It's almost been worth this Depression to find out how little our big men know." - Will Rogers
USA didn't learn our lesson from the Great Depression - Will we learn anything from total collapse ?

Are there any other problems that we need to solve besides the collapse of our fiat currency ?

 

 

The World's Ineffective Policeman

In 2010, the U.S. Department Of Defense reported that they had 2,278,895 active duty and reserve military personnel located in the U.S. and more than 150 countries around the world (NOT including all of their dependents, plus unreported hidden military-and-civilian subcontractors, and Top Secret classified covert DOD and CIA operations).

 

Few American taxpayers could find on a globe most of the 150 countries where we have ongoing military operations. Most Americans have no clue why we are in such countries in the first place. Even Congress has little insight into our most-covert secret operations. DOD and CIA refuse third party audits. Taxpayers are forced to blindly trust that everything that DOD and CIA do is correct (which it often is NOT).

 

The largest numbers of reported overseas U.S. military personnel are in: Afghanistan, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Diego Garcia, Djibouti, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guam, Guantanamo Bay Cuba, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, "Afloat" and "Transient." http://siadapp.dmdc.osd.mil/personnel/MILITARY/history/hst1012.pdf

 

 

We strongly support the patriotism, bravery, and huge sacrifices made by our all-volunteer armed forced and their families, BUT, we mostly disapprove of the way that our corrupt American government ineffectively uses this precious human resource in some places where we are hated, and where we have no business being at all any more. Military leaders gave Congress very-bad advice about what we should do in Vietnam, and they advised the same stupid profit-motivated things in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

 

Well-informed Congressman and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul said that USA has 900 mostly-unnecessary military bases around the world. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/sep/14/ron-paul/ron-paul-says-us-has-military-personnel-130-nation/  Some journalists report that there are as many as 1,200 worldwide U.S. military bases - No civilian seems to know for sure, not even the President. The exactly number is kept very-secret indeed. It is not even available through a Freedom Of Information Act request. Attempts to publish the details are squelched. The U.S. DOD and CIA are clearly above (and not subject to) American law or the Constitution.

 

America’s military expenditures are nearly as large as the sum total of all other countries around the world combined http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

 

American companies profitably provide deadly military equipment to many other nations
Under Reagan, Rumsfeld and Cheney illegally provided weapons to Iraq and Iran
They fabricated lies about non-existent weapons of mass destruction to justify preemptive Iraq war

It increases USA GDP when countries go to war - America encourages endless war
U.S. money says: "In God We Trust", but the truth is America covets war profits much more

 

Accountants should SUBTRACT all military expenditures from national GDP, not add them to it
America's warped military sense of values is the exact opposite of those who truly love peace

It is amazing to me that the political party that promotes guns and war, mostly claims to be Christian
They most certainly do NOT believe in: "Peace on Earth - Good will toward men"

 

America’s current weapons of mass destruction can now kill every human on Earth - a thousand times over

Is such suicidal military madness ever warranted under any circumstance at all?

If Iran detonates an atomic bomb in Boston harbor, should America kill every human on Earth?

Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) is counterproductive against suicidal religious fanatics !

 

The USSR Soviet Union went totally bankrupt trying to keep up with U.S. outrageous military and space expenditures

Is there even one rational American taxpayer who thinks that
all of the military money USA now spends is cost effective?

Do we really need any wars that last ten years?

Do we still need to occupy World War II and Cold War countries?

 

Do you approve of the military corruption in Congress?

Is America a democracy where the majority rule?

Will you vote for any incumbent? WHY?

 

Those criminal politicians who are badly corrupted by the extremely-profitable U.S. military industrial complex became upset when President Obama wanted to reduce the rate of military budget increases, after withdrawing all troops from the unjustified Bush/Cheney war in Iraq.

 

Rick Perry said that he would immediately send our troops back into Iraq, despite the fact that the Iraq government (that USA paid to establish) does NOT WANT US THERE. He grossly exaggerated when he said that "Iran is LITERALLY moving at the speed of light back into Iraq." IF, Iran could move at the speed of light, they could invade Israel and the USA in less than a second. IF Iran had light speed technology, they could use it to colonize other planets. What an irrational, unscientific idiot Rick Perry has always been!

 

In 2012, Mitt Romney said he wants to INCREASE U.S. soldiers deployed around the world by 100,000.
Could anything be more irrational when we are $15 TRILLION in debt.

 

We already borrow 40% of what we spend on our military budget - much of it from China!

 

China’s military budget is the second largest in the world, at only 1 / 6 of what USA wastes ineffectively each year.

 

If America entered into a war with China, we would have to borrow money from China to fight it - TRULY ABSURD!

 

If America reduced its military budget by a whopping 80%, we would still have the most-powerful, dominate, military operation on planet Earth.

 

Extreme government corruption prevents America from acting in a rational military manner.

 

Is all of this moronic military behavior worth placing such a huge debt on our grandchildren, while we allow our own infrastructure to crumble?

 

God did NOT assign USA to spend $700 billion a year to ethnocentrically kill people who do not live the way we think that they should.

How dare we ask God's blessing when we know that our collateral damage kills many innocent non-combatant innocent women and children.

Greed and ungodly religious bigotry has started more wars than any other reason in human history.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes . . . known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. . . . No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison - Fourth U.S. President - Political Observations, 1795

 

War cannot exist unless greedy people covet something other than peace

The Bible says that Jesus came for "Peace on Earth - Good will toward men." Greedy hate mongers crucified Him, because they feared losing their power over the people. We now send young patriots into deadly war to kill people in Jesus' name - knowing the collateral damage it will bring - What insane hypocritical ethnocentric bigotry!

How can America impose our own form of corrupt capitalistic democracy on nations that hate us, WHEN OUR OWN DIVISIVE USA PARTISAN DEMOCRACY IS NOW SO TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL. We cannot even manage our budget, or provide living-wage jobs to our people.

Let us FIRST get our own house of cards in order, and repair our obsolete crumbling infrastructure, BEFORE we borrow another trillion dollars from China to rebuild the other nations that we help destroy.

 

Republicans have always been the corrupt supporters of high profits for the military industrial complex, at the expense of soldier's lives, deep debt, and taxpayer funds.

In 2011, the Republican House passed their budget, which called for widespread unpopular austerity and slashes in Medicare, Medicaid and prepaid Social Security program spending, but THEIR CORRUPTION INCREASED THE MILITARY BUDGET BY 17%.

On August 31, 2011, The bipartisan / nonpartisan U.S. Congressional "Commission on Wartime Contracting" published their Final Report http://www.wartimecontracting.gov/

When America goes to war, half of the people involved are now government contractors. We've spent $206 Billion on contractors for war with Afghanistan and Iraq alone. The Wartime Contracting Commission conservative consensus says that up to $60 Billion (nearly 30%) was spent on useless unproductive Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (WFA). 10%-to-20% WFA is typical in corrupt American government. 30% is exceptionally high. WHY?

In the 1990's, USA significantly cut spending to balance our previously-bloated Reagan / Bush budgets. Clinton / Gore significantly reduced military spending. We failed to reply to direct attacks from al Qaeda on U.S. interests overseas, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Reagan, Rumsfeld and Cheney funded the Afghanistan Mujahideen, which morphed into Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda. The Reagan Administration focussed on the USSR, and created our worst terrorist enemy. Clinton failed to respond effectively to the growing threat.

In some cases, we now realize that shortsighted false-economy balanced-budget stupidity prevailed. Military auditors and inspectors were laid off. When the unplanned Afghanistan and Iraq wars were quickly ramped up after 9/11/2001, the auditors and inspectors were NOT replaced, and $60 billon was lost to corrupt WFA, by trying to save a few million.

Tea Party Terrorists are now demanding similar false economy

We are truly a non-learning nation, forever repeating our worst shortsighted mistakes

We myopically focus on today's crises symptoms, not the cause-and-effect problem source

Sometimes you have to spend a million to save a billion - 1,000-to-1 benefit / cost ratio

Sometimes, irrational budget cutting can be a truly terrible thing to do

Every dollar spent on corrupt WFA is a dollar that should have been spent productively elsewhere. Many Americans were already aware of slimy no-bid contracts that funneled billions of unearned profits to Vice President Dick Cheney's Halliburton Corporation, which greatly increased the value of Cheney's personal stock options. Chapter Three of the Wartime Contracting Commission Final Report documents many more deplorable taxpayer rip-offs. Like Dastardly Dick Cheney, the government-and-contractor perpetrators of these many documented federal crimes have mostly gone unpunished. In Dick Cheney's latest book, he arrogantly admits multiple war crimes with impunity - saying he has no regrets (for the documented damage he has clearly done to our crumbling country morality.

When America rebuilds Libya, we can expect continuing similar contractor WFA. The commission states that Congress people who resist their specific solution proposals should be documented by the media. Contractor WFA is easily eliminated, IF politicians are forced by voters to make it happen. The problems is not limited to the military. WFA corruption grips our entire global government.

 

Let's suppose hypothetically that we stopped raising America's unsustainable faux debt ceiling, or that we had a balanced budget amendment in place. Here is a simple question about America's future priorities. If you had to pick only one of the following options, which one would YOU chose? (1) Stop paying all Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payments, or (2) Stop being the world's policeman. In 2011, the Republican Ryan budget tried to move toward number (1), so they could give huge tax cuts to the wealthiest destructive Wall Street parasites. The Boehner Budget moved even farther in the same negative direction.

Do the corrupt Tea Party Terrorist Republicans accurately represent YOU?

Is it worth having a huge military budget that tries to defend a greedy, selfish, declining place to live?

USA could provide BETTER national defense with ONE FOURTH of our current enormous inefficient military budget - managed by rational leadership.

A federal government is necessary to provide services that individuals, corporations, and states cannot cost-effectively provide for themselves. Providing for a nation's common defense is a primary example. Important military budget questions are:

How well are we defending ourselves ?

How much does it cost - all things considered ?

Could we do a better job much-more cost effectively ?

Do you want corrupt profiteering politicians (like supremely-evil Dick Cheney) to send your children into harm's way, based on fabricated lies ?

For 8 years, Dick Cheney was the U.S. President (Illiterate, alcoholic, low-I.Q., bumbling-bumpkin George W. Bush did not have a clue what to do).

 

Truth is the first casualty of war - years before the first bullet is fired. IF all people understood the TRUTH, they would never start any war.

 

America spends $80 billion a year to gather (and mostly ignore) so-called "intelligence." It took USA ten years to get Osama bin Laden, when he was living in million-dollar luxury less than 3,000 feet from Pakistan's military academy, in a very-open-and-obvious location. During his CBS "60 Minutes" television interview that aired on May 8, 2011, President Obama said that Osama was "hiding in plain sight" for five years. George W. Bush knew the exact movements of some of bin Laden's couriers for most of that time, but failed to act.

Do you think America should continue to send billions of borrowed dollars to Pakistan, when they clearly harbored and gave aid to Osama bin Laden, and their radicals continue to publically burn our flag? The answer is complex. Former President Carter said in 2011 that Pakistan has a hundred nuclear weapons. Osama was very close to the Pakistan military.

Sending aid to the enemy of our enemy (like Reagan, Rumsfeld and Cheney sent military aid to Saddam Hussain and to the Mujahideen) can create our worst nation's enemies. Giving money to a tyrant dictator (like the Shah of Iran) does not make his nation like us.

If termination of American aid to Pakistan causes their unstable government to fall, their nukes are in the hands of the military that sustained bin Laden - Spooky indeed !

 

We cannot possibly win a War Against Terrorism by terrorizing the families of terrorists,
any more than we could win a war against all earthquakes by stomping our foot in anger!

Cowardly terrorists are the ones who hide behind precision-guided smart bombs, and
"no-risk" Nevada video games that control deadly unmanned UAV drone bombs
(nuclear warheads optional and on the table)

"I want to scare the hell out of the rest of the world" - Colin Powell

There is no way to explode a smart bomb without any risk of collateral mutilation
to unarmed non-combatant innocent women and children

 

The way to destroy one's enemy is to turn him into your friend

With today's advanced technology and high productivity, we could terminate poverty
and suffering by providing living-wage-jobs with benefits for every family on Earth
(IF war mongers would STOP wasting $1.7 Trillion on deadly futile war)

 

In an interview on the Today show http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23220908#23220908 George Bush said:
"I think actually that the spending on the war might help with jobs, 'cause we're buying equipment and people are working."
In several other speeches, Bush said that the war is good for our economy

Bush stated that the best way to grow the U.S. economy is by waging war
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/27/bush-war-boosts-the-us-ec_n_592444.html
Insane Bush wanted USA to replicate the successful nation-building strategy it implemented at the end of World War I I.
"What needs to be done, and the best way to revitalize the economy is the United States has grown based on wars,
. . . all the economic growth that the U.S. has had was based on the different wars it has waged."

As long as there are morons who believe that war is profitable, there can be no peace

 

No one has ever "won" a war - ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE LOSERS!

The total cost of war continues decades after the last bomb explodes
This is a life-critical lesson that has been ignored for thousands of years

"We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security" - Dwight Eisenhower

Those who enter war do not have a child's understanding of mathematics
(especially "takeawayfroms")

 

 

America now borrows every penny that we spend for our badly-bloated, wasteful, Department of Defense

The U.S. Congress has tried for decades to get a third-party independent audit of our out-of-control DOD, but the powerful Pentagon still insists that they are UNAUDITABLE (according to Simpson / Bowles). Do you think that every American defense dollar is always spent wisely? Do you feel as frustrated as we do?

America's population is only 4.5% of the world - far below China and India - BUT, America's borrowed military budget is larger than the next largest 15 nations combined !

Somehow, we got the stupid unsustainable idea that America should be the world's policeman (at least whenever oil is involved), and DOD should have an unmonitored unlimited credit card to secretly spend our borrowed money any way that they want. My wife and I have security clearances to work on government projects. We have seen extreme waste, fraud and abuse first hand, but we cannot legally ever publish the specific details, or we would be sent to federal prison. The few who do blow the whistle are discredited, belittled and ignored by the non-learning mediocre majority.

USA has a legally-binding treaty with Taiwan to defend them against mainland China. If such an armed conflict took place, America would fight against much-larger China to defend Taiwan, BUT we would have to borrow the funds from China to do it! This is way BEYOND ABSURD !

We ran up well-over a TRILLION dollars of needless debt for our children by starting an unjustified preemptive war in Iraq. The long-term cost will be over twice that amount. The deadly unprecedented, unjustified, preemptive "war to prevent war" Iraq war was based on well-documented BIG LIES by supremely-sinister Dick Cheney about non-existent weapons of mass destruction. We will be paying mutilated Iraq veterans over a trillion more dollars in benefits for decades.

The net result of Dastardly Dick Cheney's "Operation Iraqi Liberation" (O.I.L.) war is that when America completely pulls out, Iraq will probably be overrun by their long-term enemy Iran, who will take control of Iraq's oil fields. Is that what Cheney really wanted to do? Where is the outrage? Why isn't Cheney in federal prison today? The war in Iraq was fought for one reason only: to increase the value of Cheney's Halliburton stock options.

Our corrupt politicians are above the law, while taxpayers must pay dearly for us to be the unsustainable policeman for the rest of the world.

Preemptive "war to end war" is an insane asylum, where the administrators are criminally-insane murders

In Dick Cheney's O.I.L. war, the terrible enemies of American patriots were NOT overseas - they were in Washington, D.C.!

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." - Edward Abbey

 

 

Social Security's Criminal Crumbling Foundation

 

U.S. Social Security is PROFOUNDLY ACTUARILY UNSOUND

Under current law, Social Security CANNOT POSSIBLY keep the promises that have been made on your annual Social Security Statement.

Social Security is a criminal Ponzi scheme that must collapse very soon (or be radically restructured into something much different).

The U.S. President and Congress know for certain that the statements sent out by the Social Security Administration are ABSOLUTELY FALSE CRIMINAL FRAUD that cannot possibly be true under any foreseeable future circumstances - even with the most-optimistic view of the U.S. economy and retirement demographics.

When 50-year-olds look at their official Social Security statement for retirement planning purposes, the numbers on it are IMPOSSIBLE LIES, under the Social Security legislation that is currently in place.

The ONLY way Social Security could have ever worked would have been to invest income in a locked box - at an net interest rate that is above the fiat currency devaluation rate. Ending the gold standard, and rapid fiat currency devaluation guaranteed Social Security bankruptcy (very soon).

The Corrupt Criminal U.S. Congress turned Social Security into an impossible illegal Ponzi Scheme. It is well-past the total-collapse tipping point.

Social Security does NOT respond to predictable demographic dynamics and increasing American life expectancy.

When Social Security was created in 1937, life expectancy was 63 years and retirement benefits began at age 65. People only received Social Security for very few years.

Today, Social Security encourages people to begin their benefits at age 62. An average retired couple can now expect to receive Social Security benefits for 21 years.

People who made poor choices about education and career think that work is unpleasant drudgery, and they naïvely look forward to Social Security being their salvation. Poor lifestyle choices about nutrition, exercise, drugs, alcohol, smoking, stress, and bad mental behaviors increase mental and physical disabilities, and the related costs to society.

People who love their work and make good lifestyle choices often want to continue contributing to society beyond age 65, but U.S. Social Security insanely provides a disincentive for them to live a more-productive life, where their experience can benefit all of society. How very suicidally-stupid Social Security is today!

Previous cultures assigned great value and respect to the wisdom that accumulates with lifelong learning. America DOES NOT! The stupid structure of Social Security makes this problem even worse.

It is now expected to take about $1.3 million to cover living expenses and heath care expenses for new retirees. These expenses are often more than one third of a person's lifetime earning potential. Social Security income is only about 11% of today's payroll taxes. This tax rate cannot begin to provide the benefits that have been by promised to Americans on their Social Security retirement planning statements. SS is actuarially unsound - Totally unsustainable under the current corrupt fraudulent SS legislation.

If you ask Americans would they prefer the government to either: (1) Increase Social Security payroll taxes, or (2) Reduce the Social Security benefits that they have been promised and planned for, their first answer will be an impossible "NEITHER." If they are forced to chose one or the other, the majority will usually select (1) increase taxes. There are several reasons for this.

People who are currently paying no or low payroll taxes will not be impacted much by SS tax rate increases, BUT they will be seriously impacted by benefit cuts. Two thirds of people on Social Security receive the majority of their monthly income from it. For one third of recipients, Social Security is their ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME. For millions of people who are barely able to pay their increasing utility bills and low-quality food expenses, the proposed Republican Social Security benefit reductions would be about equal to one week of food per month. It is a starvation strategy, which would kill many Social Security recipients, so Republicans can give large tax breaks to millionaires. How insanely-cruel is that?

Americans currently pay Social Security tax on their first $107,000 of income. If that number was doubled, Americans making less than $107K would not notice the difference. Republicans reject this idea (which the majority of their constituents support), because the clear Republican goal is to inequitably increase wealth accumulation for the richest 2%.

 

During debate on the Senate floor in July 2011, extremely-corrupt Republican Senator Orin Hatch argued that the wealthy already pay too much in taxes, (even though their tax rates have been at modern lows since Bush / Cheney cut them down 2001 and 2003, and millionaire's income has increased 88% since 2009).

Do the wealthy already pay too much tax? Here is the TRUTH about Republican LIES: 15 years ago, the top 400 U.S. income tax returns were for people making over $50 million per year. Although the top income tax bracket was 39.6%, they only paid an average of 28%, due to many Republican tax loopholes designed specifically for the wealthy.

In 2010, the top 400 U.S. income tax returns were for people making well over $350 million per year (over 700% increase). Although the Bush / Cheney top income tax bracket was 35%, the top 400 only paid an average of 16%, which is LESS than their secretaries, housekeepers, and the people who prepare and serve their food.

Are the wealthy really paying too much tax? Republican tax breaks and loophole for the wealthy have bankrupted America, created the 2008 crash, left our children deep in debt, and shifted the tax burden to the working class. In essence, the modern American working class are either indentured slaves to the wealthy, OR millions of them have no hope whatsoever of having a living wage job with benefits.

The top 50 parasitic, job-killing, Wall Street hedge fund managers and commodity speculators make OVER A BILLION DOLLARS EACH PER YEAR. Our red, white, and blue system greatly rewards the most-destructive scum of the Earth. Almost ALL of their income tax is at the low 15% Capital Gains tax rate - well BELOW what the average American wage earner pays.

Democrats believe that the Capital Gains tax rate should return to the previous 20% rate for the higher income brackets (before Bush / Cheney, when USA had a budget surplus under Clinton).

2011 Republican Presidential candidates promise that they will ELIMINATE ALL CAPITAL GAINS TAX - Leaving many American millionaires to pay only an average of 1% per year income tax. Orin Hatch and other Republican megalomaniacs are the Most Spectacular Sinister LIARS on Earth today!

Do you agree? Is this the legacy you want to leave your oppressed children and grandchildren?

In Orin's bizarro mind, the middle and lower classes should pay MORE, even if they already cannot pay their skyrocketing bills, as politicians and Bernanke drive down the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar to less than two cents.

Why did any middle class, unemployed, or poor people ever vote for such Republican insanity? Answer: Because corrupt Supreme Court judge Clarence Thomas allowed wealthy corporations like Exxon, the Koch brothers, and Wall Street banks to contribute unlimited campaign bribes to Republicans, which polluted gullible minds with false campaign advertisements in 2010. Did the Republicans do in 2011 what they promised in 2010? They said that jobs were their number one priority, but half a year later they had not submitted even one job creation bill, and unemployment is rising past 9.2%. That is what foolish mediocre-minded knee-jerk Americans voted for in 2010. What will happen in 2012?

Deeply-entrenched Orin Hatch will probably be re-elected again and again by non-caring, non-learning, STUPID lower-income and unemployed Utah voters, who Orin apparently wants to tax and starve to death. This is way beyond anything rational at all. It IS The American Way.

Do big-business lobbyist-corrupted Republicans like Orin Hatch represent the best interest of the majority of their constituents, or all Americans?

 

The REALLY SCARY THING is that it is extremely rare for Americans to re-elect a President when unemployment is over 7%. Obama's disappointing failure to meet most of his 2008 campaign promises implies that the next Republican U.S. President elected in 2012 will make American tax code inequity iniquity many times worse than it is today.

If the working class must pay almost all U.S. taxes, and they cannot make a living wage
- a violent revolution against their wealthy oppressors cannot be far behind

Voting for a Democrat or a Republican is clearly NOT solving our extreme Congressional corruption problem

If millionaires make the dollar collapse (as trends are clearly headed), then their net worth will soon be negative

"History does not repeat itself - but it rhymes" - Mark Twain

 

Every irrational selfish stupid person wants a free lunch - something for nothing
- which is politically popular, but is an actuarially-unsound BIG BAD LIE

If dummies are promised a free lunch, they want to believe it, even if it is impossible (as is the fraudulent Social Security Ponzi scheme).

Our dishonest corrupt government knows that mediocre-minded voters are too stupid to understand their unrealistic obvious Social Security lies.

"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions" - Niccolo Machiavelli "The Prince"

"You can deceive some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time" - Abraham Lincoln

Well-educated young people with higher income potential are learning that they cannot possibly receive the benefits from Social Security that they have been promised, and are paying for, EVEN IF THE U.S. DOLLAR DOES NOT COLLAPSE (which is highly unlikely). The youngest members of Congress are developing revolutionary resistance to unsustainable Social Security status quo. The solution is non-trivial. Every actuary says that the sooner we start to fix Social Security, the less traumatic the transition will be. BUT, since 1983, corrupt Congress has done NOTHING - far surpassing the tipping point, and making the solution more impossible every year. Inaction is suicidal, immoral, and extremely cruel.

One third of American adults are now receiving Social Security benefits, plus many children of retirees and deceased people

The original Social Security System was NEVER capable of supporting such a ball-and-chain, plus Disability Insurance and children until they reach age 18. Such oppressive burdens are like constructing a ten-story building on top of a foundation designed to support a one-story house - It WILL collapse soon.

Those who are unaware are failing to prepare for the predictable imminent inevitable.

In the 1950's (when most baby boomers were in grade school), there were 16 people paying into the Social Security system for every one taking out. Today, there are only 3 paying in for every one taking out. In 2010, Social Security tax was 40% of all U.S. Federal tax receipts - A heavy burden on all Americans paying in. However, it was less than half of what Social Security payroll taxes should be, if benefits are going to remain the same as those promised on your extremely-fraudulent Social Security benefit statement.

YOU HAVE BEEN KNOWINLY LIED TO BY THE CONGRESS AND SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION YEAR AFTER YEAR

Trillions of dollars have been "stolen" from Social Security Trust Fund, and used for out-of-control short-term wasteful federal pork-barrel spending, to get politicians re-elected. The SS trust fund should have $3 Trillions in it plus compound interest, but what it does have is a pile of worthless I.O.U.'s from the general fund.

America cannot pay the principle or even the interest on our $14+ Trillion national debt (to China, Japan, and OPEC).

USA most-certainly cannot repay the Social Security Trust Fund I.O.U.'s - The SS Ponzi scheme is already bankrupt without the trust fund in place

If by some impossible miracle, the general fund repaid the SS trust fund, and the U.S. economy does not have another crash like 2008, then the SS trust fund would still be totally used up and penniless by 2036. Our government knows this for absolute certainty, but they still continue to lie on the Social Security statements that they send out to YOU.

Do NOT base you future retirement planning on your Social Security statement bald-faced lies - What alternative do YOU have?

Get a good education. Invest in a future based on income-producing things with intrinsic real value. Live a healthy lifestyle, and find a rewarding career that you will love and enjoy until you are over 70 years old. (Consider a local mutually-supportive community coop with many good friends who appreciate you)

 

In 2011, the Social Security Administration arbitrarily decided to STOP mailing out these fraudulent SS statements, despite the fact that legislation requires them. You will NOT receive a Social Security statement in 2011. There should be a class-action law suit brought against the Social Security Administration for violating the law and not doing the duty that they are being paid to do. The General Accounting Office loudly complained, but GAO was ignored by the corrupt Republican House Ways and Means Social Security Committee.

PONZI SCHEME FRAUD IS A CRIME. THEY ALL BELONG IN FEDERAL PRISON, NEXT TO BERNIE MADOFF! How is Social Security any different?

At the current rate by 2020, there will be one person taking Social Security payments out for every two paying in, as the rest of the baby boomers retire.

Is this long-term sustainable, or is it SHORT-TERM SOCIAL SECURITY SUICIDE? The selfish greedy baby boomers have stolen from their children and grandchildren.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicare were compassionate fanciful social experiments, but under the covers, they are clearly nothing but actuarially-unsound impossible Ponzi-scheme fraudulent porky political false promises. Baby boomers have left nothing for their grandchildren but gigantic unpayable debt, crumbling infrastructure, and bankruptcy to look forward to.

USA not only borrows 40% of every dollar we spend (primarily from China, Japan, and OPEC) to pay our bills, but Baby Boomers have STOLEN from their Social Security Trust Fund - Bankrupting their own retirement, and especially their children's future!

 

Social Security is a REGRESSIVE TAX - It places a larger burden on lower income people that cannot afford it than on the rich. The Reagan and 2001-2003 Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% forced the government to ROB the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for huge budget deficits, making low-income people pay even more of the government's out-of-control spending, and now we MUST cut back on Social Security and Medicare benefits to make up for the immoral SS Ponzi-scheme shortfall.

July 2011, Republican Senators offered bills to: (1) Increase the age when people can begin Social Security benefits, and (2) REDUCE the Cost Of Living Adjustments (COLA) for people receiving Social Security benefits. The corrupt dishonest calculation for today's COLA says USA has ZERO COST OF LIVING INCREASE. There has been NO COLA since 2008.

Have you noticed that basic commodities like food and fuel have increased about 80% in that time frame? Congress apparently has not. The dishonest Social Security Administration says there is no need for a COLA, and the Republicans want to REDUCE COLA even further than the zero that it is today - OUTRAGEOUS INSANITY ! ! !

The Republicans say that their Social Security benefit reductions will save $460 billion over ten years, so they can reduce the income tax rate for millionaires and billionaires from 39.6% (under Clinton's budget surplus) down to only 25% (under Ryan's Road To Disaster), which will add well over $12 Trillion to the U.S. budget deficit. Eliminating Capital Gains Tax will make inequity much worse - Can you imagine any person in America so spectacularly STUPID as to support such obvious total legislative corruption for the wealthiest Americans ? ! Almost every Republican in the House and Senate voted for the economy-and-job-destroying Ryan budget plan. They all belong in prison today!

Middle-income people cannot possibly receive the Social Security benefits that they were fraudulently promised, and that they have already paid for all of their life. Even IF the U.S. dollar does NOT collapse (highly unlikely), there will be no Social Security Trust Fund left for the younger generation, who are now supporting the selfish baby boomer generational thieves. Are you aware? Do you care? Will you prepare? Will your grandchildren curse your memory?

Old-Fashion Country-Boy Great-Depression Wisdom - Will Rogers wrote: "Now, when I tell you that if I was running the government, there would be no lowering of taxes, you know now a comedian is crazy. We owe more money than any nation in the world, and we ARE LOWERING TAXES. . . . All government statistics say that 70% of every dollar paid in the way of taxes goes to just keeping up our interest and a little dab of amortization of our national debts. In other words, if we didn't owe anything, our taxes would only be less than one-third what they are today."

"You see in the old days there was mighty few things bought on credit. Your taste had to be in harmony with your income, for it had never been any other way. I think buying autos on credit has driven more folks to (rob banks) as a regular means of livelihood than any other contributing cause . . . I don't reckon there has ever been a time in American homes when there was as much junk in 'em as there is today. Even our own old shack has got more junk in it that has never been used, or looked at than a storage place. Most everybody has got more than they used to have, but they haven't got as much as they thought they ought to have. So it's all a disappointment more than a catastrophe. If we could just call back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why we would be O.K."

"Our whole Depression was brought on by gambling, not in the stock market alone, but in expanding and borrowing and going in debt, all just to make some money quick."

The way to lower our taxes is to first and foremost pay all of our bills, stop living above our means, and then there will be much less need for taxes

Only the dumbest of immediate-gratification fools believe that the quick-and-easy path of least resistance is sustainable for long

Non-learning Americans refuse to study the huge errors of the past - We unsustainably repeat and perpetuate them again and again

 

The March 2011 disaster in Japan means that they cannot afford to loan any more money to USA. Japan needs to sell U.S. bonds to get money to finance major reconstruction. This has already begun to make borrowing 40% of every dollar that the U.S. government spends much more difficult (and expensive for future generations).

Large new-millennium increases in the cost of basic food, fuel, and healthcare are huge regressive burdens on the majority of Americans who have now undergone a standard of living decline. This is already causing riots that topple governments around the world. USA cannot be far away.

At the same time, Republicans are actively trying to destroy labor unions and collective bargaining to share the wealth of the greedy. Corrupt Republican legislators demand huge tax cuts for oppressive parasite billionaires who continually lobby, bribe legislators, and pay for their reelection campaigns. A few million dollars in corruption bribes buys the creators of our crises many billions in taxpayer subsidies, for the unsustainable - including $47 BILLION of subsidies and tax deductions to the big oil companies who import foreign oil for huge profits.

To pay for tax cuts and counter-productive subsidies for the unsustainable, Republicans want to tax Girl Scout cookie sales and Boy Scout popcorn, while forcing 9% salary decreases, eliminating already-paid-for pensions, Medicare, Social Security, and removal of collective bargaining rights for public servants like nurses, teachers, police and fire fighters. Is this the moronic future that most Americans want for their children?

 

2010 National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform

President Obama inherited an economic catastrophe of unprecedented deficit spending and gigantic big business bailouts. He was forced to continue for a time what he knew was unsustainable. BUT, Obama created an 18-member bipartisan commission to recommend how we return to a balanced budget. From the report:

"Our nation is on an unsustainable fiscal path. Spending is rising and revenues are falling short, requiring the government to borrow huge sums each year to make up the difference. We face staggering deficits. In 2010, federal spending was nearly 24 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the value of all goods and services produced in the economy. Only during World War II was federal spending a larger part of the economy. Tax revenues stood at 15 percent of GDP this year, the lowest level since 1950. The gap between spending and revenue – the budget deficit – was just under nine percent of GDP.

"Since the last time our budget was balanced in 2001, the federal debt has increased dramatically, rising from 33 percent of GDP to 62 percent of GDP in 2010. The escalation was driven in large part by two wars and a slew of fiscally irresponsible policies, along with a deep economic downturn. We have arrived at the moment of truth, and neither political party is without blame."

After The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform published their alarming report and proposal in December 2010, Alan Greenspan (the former Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank) said: “I think that the type of budget agreement that was put together by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles is the type a budget that will be passed by Congress. The only question is: Will it be before or after the bond market crisis?”

(Greenspan believes that our bond market will collapse when the value of the U.S. dollar plummets further, and no one will lone us any more money by buying our worth-less bonds.)

May 6, 2011 - Erskine Bowles (Co-Chair of The Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, and former White House Chief of Staff under Bill Clinton, when America had a budget surplus) said:

“We face the biggest and most predictable economic crisis in history. It will make the crisis we just went through (which not many of us predicted) look like child's play.

“If you think about what happens in a crisis like this: interest rates rise dramatically and  quickly, inflation, what happens to the business cost-and-availability of credit, and trillion dollar deficits as far as I can see - I think it could be UNSPEAKABLE.”

When asked how soon this "unspeakable crisis" might happen (if America does not act immediately), Erskine Bowles said: “One-to-two years”, and Commission Co-Chair Senator Alan Simpson said: “Less than a year.” Their critical commission studied the deficit spending issues extensively. Should USA continue to ignore their clear warnings?

America can NOT afford to wait until after the 2012 election. A major collapse of our entire economy in the very-near future is now at stake. Electing yet another dishonest ineffective politician who breaks promises will NOT avoid our highly-predictable total economic collapse. The extreme stupidity that created our current crises cannot possibly solve it.

There are many predictable global and domestic potential trigger-event scenarios that may become the last straw that suddenly breaks the camel’s back, causing catastrophic collapse, and the BIGGEST economic crisis in history.

 

1995 Balanced Budget Amendment - The Broken "Contract With America"

When Republicans took back control of Congress in January 1995 (under President Clinton), the House of Representatives passed a Balanced Budget Amendment within three weeks (as promised during their 1994 Contract With America campaign of lies). In the Senate, 52 Republicans (all but one) voted for it, AND 14 of the 42 Democrats. There were six politically-corrupt Democrats who supported the Balanced Budget Amendment a year earlier, BUT who reversed their previous position and voted against it to block Republican momentum.

If only one more 1995 Senator cared about America's future (instead of selfish politics), Congress would have passed the Balanced Budget Amendment, and if ratified by the states, we would NOT have had the Bush / Obama decade of outrageous suicidal deficit spending. Corruption Can Be Very DEADLY. Stupidity has consequences. The problem is that long-term stupidity is seldom immediately obvious.

Such an unsustainable economy cannot possibly exist for long
Total Economic Collapse is now likely in the early 2010's
Any assumption about business-as-usual beyond 2012 is probably very invalid
A three-year plan based on more status quo is almost guaranteed to be wrong

 

The alarm clock went off. We've hit the snooze alarm 20 times. We fell out of bed.
A gangster threw a bucket of ice water in our face and is pointing a shotgun at us.
We ARE awake. Our national heart is pounding. Shall we try to go back to sleep?

 

A USA Balanced Budget with Zero Borrowing would REQUIRE either:

(1) A $1.6 Trillion 40% Reduction in fiscally-irresponsible inefficient-government-bureaucracy spending - In 2010, Republicans promised a $100 Billion spending cut in 2011. They settled for far less. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said that what they actually passed on April 14, 2011 would lower 2011 fiscal year spending by a trivial $352 million, which is only 0.0352 of the $100 billion that they promised, and 0.0002 of the $1.6 Trillion that we would need to balance our budget.

Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have a plan to live within our means in the foreseeable future. At this rate we have no choice other than national bankruptcy.

The only reasonable alternative is:

(2) Return to spending and tax rates that are similar to Bill Clinton's administration, when America had a Budget Surplus - before the outrageous deficits of the unjustified Bush / Cheney O.I.L. war spending, and inequitable large tax cuts for wealthy parasitic millionaires that bankrupted our budget.

Our current suicidal Congress and Administration continue to refuse to do either - Destroying America's future!

Kick the can further down the road, and leave the predictable catastrophe for the next generation to solve - Selfish baby boomer generational theft!

Almost everyone SAYS that they want to end deficit spending, but 87% of Americans polled refuse to cut major entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. We continue to spend about half of our huge military budget on maintaining totally-useless nuclear weapons - If we used any nuclear weapons, it could trigger the end of humanity on Earth. Mutually-Assured Destruction (MAD) is the total insanity of humanity!

We live in an age where caring human behavior could eliminate poverty, or eliminate all human life on Earth (which is the current trend).

Without draconian cuts to unsustainable entitlement programs and our ill-conceived military programs, USA can NOT balance our budget - even if we totally eliminate all other spending. With no intelligent adult supervision, the declining U.S. economy WILL collapse very soon.

 

$1.1 Trillion in Legislated U.S. Tax Spending Pork Barrel Earmarks

Congress was proud that they cut $16 Billion of pork-barrel earmarks out of the budget - which was only a 0.004 reduction of our bloated $3.7 Trillion budget.

Bowles / Simpson pointed out that our 10,000-page lobbyist-corrupted U.S. tax code contains $1.1 Trillion in "tax spending" earmarks.

Eliminating these special-interest-group concessions (like $47 billion in oil company subsidies) would go a very-long way toward eliminating our $1.5 Trillion budget deficit.

Corrupt politicians have not yet begun to reduce earmarks for those who support their election campaigns - Extreme deficit-spending bloated budget abuse as usual.

 

The Land of Inequality - Top 1% Versus The 99% Majority - Class Warfare

America falsely claims to be a “Land of Equal Opportunity,” but among political big lies, few things could be further from the Truth. The U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for reducing discrimination in the workplace (somewhat), but there is a HUGE inequality in USA family income distribution from elite rich billionaires, down to the poor.

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) publishes their international inequality distribution of family income (GINI Index) report.

In essence, smaller GINI Index numbers indicate more-equitable distribution of income from the wealthy to those with lower incomes. Sweden, Hungary, and Norway have the most-fair and equitable distribution of family income.

Larger GINI Index numbers (like those for Namibia and South Africa) indicate a selfish greedy elite class that badly oppresses the powerless poor.

Out of 137 countries monitored by the CIA, the United States ranks number 97 – very low down on the GINI Index – even worse than Iran, Nigeria, Russia, et.al.

USA is truly a Land of Inequality, with respect to distribution of family income, as published in the CIA Factbook. Our U.S. GINI rank has been getting progressively worse since Reagan and Bush inequitably slashed taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Americans, who paid for their elections.

In 1980, BEFORE Reagan became president, the top 1% earned 8% of American income. When Bush left office in 2008, the top 1% earned 23% of American income – MORE than the lower 50% combined. Unemployment was the highest it had been since Reagan, and the USA was in the Worst Recession Since FDR. Net income for the average American fell by $2,000 during the Bush / Cheney disastrous administration, but increased significantly for the top 1%. The value of the U.S. dollar (relative to gold) fell 82% in only one decade.

The USA CIA Factbook documents the plain and simple net TRUTH about greedy, corrupt Republican elite oppression of poor Americans – among the worst in the world:

Part of the American Dream is that if we work hard,
our children will inherit a more-prosperous world

Since Bush / Cheney took office, our dream has become a NIGHTMARE
Baby Boomers have stolen the future of their offspring with deep debt

Both Republican and Democrat policies have accelerated
the greedy hoarding of wealth by the selfish, corrupt, top 1%

The primary motivator in American Capitalism is
"The Love Of Money", which is the root of all evil

 

Republicans LIE when they say that USA corporate taxes are the
highest in the world, and therefore should be significantly reduced

The TRUTH is that as a percent of GDP, U.S. corporate taxes
are LOWER than every other nation on Earth except Iceland !

 

In the 1960's, American GDP and prosperity exploded for almost everyone
With about 5% of the world's population, America produced 55% of the
entire world's manufactured goods - much more than everyone else combined

We were the world's largest oil exporter - Great wealth streamed into USA

The whole world sent their best-and-brightest here for a superior education

We invested heavily in USA future infrastructure like Interstate Highways,
abundant clean water, hydro electric power, and manufacturing plants

American R&D did the "impossible" and sent men to the moon in only 8 years
Countless technologies like computers and communications were spun off

The corporate tax rate was an equitable 4% of GDP - Many got very wealthy

BUT SINCE THEN, CORRUPT CORPOCRACY LOBBYISTS TOOK CONTROL OF
AMERICA'S EVIL GREEDY GOVERNMENT - THE INEQUITABLE CORPORATE
TAX RATE FELL PRECIPITIOUSLY TO AN EXTREMELY-LOW 1.3% OF GDP

Jobs were sent overseas - Unemployment plus underemployment grew to 20 million
Greedy corporations are motivated only by profit - NOT the domestic economy

Our unsustainable infrastructure crumbled - Leaving NO foundation for the future
America's national infrastructure is now rated number 26 in the world
Our deficit-spending economy is no longer self sustaining - We can't borrow enough

Many of our high school graduates are illiterate - A high percentage drop out
College graduates cannot find living-wage jobs with family benefits or pensions

USA and other countries have stopped investing in America - Would you buy U.S. Bonds?

 

Some 2011 Republican Presidential Candidates want to totally eliminate ALL corporate
income tax and billion-dollar-a-year hedge-fund-manager low 15% capital gains tax !

Since the Bush / Cheney 2008 tax-cut economic bankruptcy, U.S. corporate net income
has INCREASED 88%, commodities like food and fuel cost about 80% more, BUT
American personal income has remained flat (or people have no job at all)

 

Is American Corpocracy Greed-Driven Capitalism Good for our Citizens, or just Fat Cats?

Other countries have been hard hit by the USA recession, but their unemployment
rate has NOT dropped as badly as it has under greedy American capitalism

* * * * * * * *

G.E. lobbyists heavily influence America's extremely-corrupt-and-unfair tax code

General Electric reported net profit after all expenses of $14.2 Billion in 2010
G.E. Paid ZERO Income Tax - In fact, they claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion

Corrupt Republicans say that "America must lower corporate income taxes"
Should G.E. pay LESS than zero taxes ? ? ?

America's tax loopholes are worse than insane - THEY ARE TOTALLY CRIMINAL!

All U.S. corporations receive many government-provided benefits, such as
Interstate Highways, infrastructure, FAA, food / fuel / investment subsidies, etc.,
which are funded by taxpayers - HOWEVER, 38% of American corporations
PAY NO CORPORATE INCOME TAX AT ALL - not even one penny

* * * * * * * *

Bank of America (the nation's largest bank) received a billion dollars
from taxpayers, but paid NO corporate income tax for two years in a row

"If you go out and try to make money and you don't do it, why should the government
pay you for your losses?"- Bob McIntyre of Citizens for Tax Justice

Corporate lobbyists mandate tax loophole and tax spending from our corrupt Congress

Is that in any way fair, equitable, or democratic ?

Why are the congressmen who voted for these inequitable tax code loopholes
not serving time in federal prisons for the rest of their lives ?

* * * * * *

Wall Street and huge corporations ARE the U.S. government

The opinion of the vast majority is ignored by our corpocracy hypocrisy

Total corruption is the primary reason for America's inequity iniquity

* * * * * *

Do the CEO's of G.E. and Exxon need even MORE Republican tax breaks ?

Should we continue subsidizing the most-profitable businesses in the world today ?

* * * * * *

It is highly profitable for Exxon, Goldman Sachs, and G.E. to OWN our government

They are above the law, and have shifted their tax burden to the working class,
so their billionaires can accumulate even MORE oppressive wealth

Instead of going to federal prison for their crimes, they are rewarded with billions

* * * * * *

Here is what Bush / Cheney tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% did to U.S. jobs
Obama broke his promise and continued the Bush tax breaks for billionaires

 

IF "JOBS" are the number one issue, then greedy American Capitalism has proven
to be among the World's Worst Ways for the Selfish Wealthy To DESTROY Jobs

Greedy U.S. corporations measure success with profits, NOT equitable full employment

Be careful about what your employer measures, because everything else will suffer
If cutting domestic jobs increases inequitable profits, then to hell with the working class

USA employer / employee respect and loyalty must become a Two-Way Street
Self-Serving Greed and Corruption Are Ultimately Suicidal

A non-learning nation tolerates the rich stealing from the workers who produce wealth

It is sheer mockery for any society to call itself a "democracy," of the people,
by the people, and for the people, when over 95% of the working class are
actually the indentured slaves of the top 5% of selfish aristocratic dictators

* * * * * *

It is well documented that the U.S. Congress often votes AGAINST majority opinion,
in favor of the rich and powerful - who pay for greedy-politician election bribes

Clarence Thomas' corrupt Supreme Court "Citizens United" decision
authorized unlimited corporate control of future campaign bribery

Thomas received $100,000 in conflict-of-interest support from Citizens United
He is the "MOST UNETHICAL" judge the Supreme Court has seen in decades

Thomas' one-vote decision made America's treacherous corporate corruption
problem five times worse in the 2010 Republican landslide election

Should the Koch Brothers continue to control who is elected to office ?

Unprecedented previously-illegal large-corporation campaign funding radically swayed
public opinion in favor of Republicans, who then passed the Ryan budget, which increased
the cost of Medicare to the elderly, so Republicans could give huge new tax cuts to billionaires

Million-dollar bribes cost American taxpayers Trillions of dollars of unpayable generational debt
And yet, American voters tolerate, enable, and re-elect obviously-corrupt criminals to office

* * * * * *

History PROVES many times over that tax cuts for the wealthy make inequity worse -
Instead of creating more jobs, the rich undeniably hoard more of the nation's wealth,
stealing income and net worth from the unrepresented helpless non-learning majority

The 1960's American foundation of "Shared Prosperity" has been replaced by unemployment
American Capitalism cannot possibly continue on its current greedy path much longer

* * * * * *

Only corrupt politicians say that tax cuts for billionaires will trickle down to the
working class - It is a proven LIE that is accepted by faith by gullible conservatives

Selfish Greed Always DESTROYS JOBS - It is non-caring, suicidal, self-extinction of society

* * * * * *

Greedy upper 1% inequity is a "den of iniquity" (immoral, unjust, grossly-unfair wickedness)

Such evil 1% behavior is only tolerated by the oppressed masses during times of general prosperity

During a time of rapid economic decline, inequity iniquity has almost always led to radical revolution
It most certainly is happening in multiple places around the world today

Those who practice greedy iniquity inequity, who oppress the hard-working poor and deny them a living wage,
and who live a life of conspicuous consumption with private jets, inefficient mansions, oversized SUV's, and
expensive clothes with gaudy jewelry are placing their family in great danger during a recession revolution

 

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

If leaders do not understand that they work for the benefit of their followers,
then they are TYRANTS who have no right at all to any leadership position
(Reread this sentence a dozen times - Let it soak in - Do NOT Enable Tyrants Who Steal From You)

Matthew 20:27 "whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant"

Mark 9:35 "And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all"

Matthew 23:11,12 "he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever
shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted"

Matthew 25:23 "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord"

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

Is it possible for oppressive tyrants to repent BEFORE violence overtakes them,
or are all tyrants non-learning virulently-ignorant entities who deserve abasement ?

The oppressed 99% are using peaceful demonstrations on Wall Street (and around
the world) today - But, IF they are ignored much longer - radical reaction is possible

We do NOT advocate another French Revolution, but we are
aware of what the oppressed poor did to their wealthy oppressors

The French Revolution took the lives of greedy self-centered hoarders,
but what followed was twenty years of unstable nationwide disaster
Hellish bloody revolutions are bad for everyone in the short run
Moral value systems collapse, and take a generation to rebuild

What would happen if you heard about a Wall Street CEO beheading on tonight's news?

What profit is it when selfish greed results in a tyrant losing everything?

Is it your goal in life to accumulate more money than the majority?

Do the majority of your countrymen hate the hoarding life that you live?

 

 

Tea On The Donkey - Smile with us, and then think about it seriously
An accurate mental image is worth thousands of words

 

Boiling A Frog / Boiling An Elephant - Where Did The GOP Elephant-Tea-Pot Terrorists Come From ?

There is popular published political pandering propaganda that today's American Tea Party was a spontaneous grassroots divine-intervention miraculous movement of previously-silent voters, who are Fed Up with Washington D.C. politics-as-usual corruption. Supposedly, nonpartisan voters who had never-before participated in politics magically came together with a common goal of returning America to its constitutional Christian foundation. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In 2006, Professor David E. Campbell (Notre Dame) and Professor Robert D. Putnam (Harvard) "interviewed a representative sample of 3,000 Americans as part of our continuing research into national political attitudes, and we returned to interview many of the same people again this summer (2011). As a result, we can look at what people told us, long before there was a Tea Party, to predict who would become a Tea Party supporter five years later. We can also account for multiple influences simultaneously - isolating the impact of one factor while holding others constant." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/opinion/crashing-the-tea-party.html

"Our analysis casts doubt on the Tea Party’s origin story. Early on, Tea Partiers were often described as nonpartisan political neophytes. Actually, the Tea Party’s supporters today were highly partisan Republicans long before the Tea Party was born, and were more likely than others to have contacted government officials. In fact, past Republican affiliation is the single strongest predictor of Tea Party support today."

"What’s more, contrary to some accounts, the Tea Party is not a creature of the Great Recession. Many Americans have suffered in the last four years, but they are no more likely than anyone else to support the Tea Party. And while the public image of the Tea Party focuses on a desire to shrink government, concern over big government is hardly the only or even the most important predictor of Tea Party support among voters."

"So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do." (The "birthers" used their false statement that Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya, to cover up their overt bigotry.)

"More important, they were disproportionately social conservatives in 2006 - opposing abortion, for example - and still are today. Next to being a Republican, the strongest predictor of being a Tea Party supporter today was a desire, back in 2006, to see religion play a prominent role in politics. (Theocracy NOT Democracy) And ,Tea Partiers continue to hold these views: they seek 'deeply religious' elected officials, approve of religious leaders’ engaging in politics, and want religion brought into political debates. The Tea Party’s generals may say their overriding concern is a smaller government, but NOT their rank and file, who are more concerned about putting God in government."

"This inclination among the Tea Party faithful to mix religion and politics explains their support for Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Governor Rick Perry of Texas. Their appeal to Tea Partiers lies less in what they say about the budget or taxes, and more in their overt use of religious language and imagery, including Mrs. Bachmann’s lengthy prayers at campaign stops, and Mr. Perry’s prayer rally in Houston."

"Yet it is precisely this infusion of religion into politics that most Americans increasingly oppose. While over the last five years Americans have become slightly more conservative economically, they have swung even further in opposition to mingling religion and politics. It thus makes sense that the Tea Party ranks alongside the Christian Right in unpopularity."

"On everything but the size of government, Tea Party supporters are increasingly out of step with most Americans, even many Republicans. Indeed, at the opposite end of the ideological spectrum. Today’s Tea Party parallels the anti-Vietnam War movement which rallied behind George S. McGovern in 1972. The McGovernite activists brought energy, but also stridency, to the Democratic Party - repelling moderate voters and damaging the Democratic brand for a generation. By embracing the Tea Party, Republicans risk repeating history."

"Polls show that disapproval of the Tea Party is climbing. In April 2010, a New York Times / CBS News survey found that 18% of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it, 21% had a favorable opinion and 46% had not heard enough. 14 months later, Tea Party opponents have more than doubled, to 40%. Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about - lower than both Republicans and Democrats. The Tea Party is even less popular than much maligned groups like "atheists" and "Muslims." Interestingly, one group that approaches the Tea Party in unpopularity is the Christian Right."

The population percentage of fanatical evangelical Christians is a bit less today than a decade ago. BUT, they are having a disproportionately large political influence, through Koch-brothers-funded big-oil Tea Party right-wing unconstitutional congressional corruption. The following is therefore submitted for your thoughtful consideration:

 

Religion's Role In Self-Destructive Corrupt American Politics

Anti-Christian Fanatical Fundamentalist - Televangelist Wealth Accumulation

A surprising connection to today's deficit-spending destruction of the dollar

If you are a devout religious person OR an atheist - this should fascinate you:

Michele Bachmann was educated at Oral Roberts University. She has been a major influence on Tea Party radical fanaticism. It is helpful to understand what she learned at ORU.

After WW I I, the original Pentecostal faith-healing televangelist Oral Roberts became quite wealthy by preaching his unique (anti-Christian) message of "Seed Faith" health-and-wealth "Prosperity Theology"

Oral Roberts claimed to embrace the "Full Gospel." out of which emerged the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International in 1952. Oral taught the Book of Acts mysticism of Pentecostal "praying in tongues", BUT Oral Roberts rejected the Book of Acts Christian socialism practice of holding all things in common.

In Oral Roberts' Pentecostal Revival tent meetings, strong peer pressure was applied to get people to answer an alter call, be baptized in water, and then "baptized in the Holy Spirit", as evidenced by "praying in tongues." It essentially involved the preacher or a prayer partner at the alter in front of the congregation strongly encouraging the VICTIM to make nonsensical sounds, which they were told were from the life-changing Spirt Of God (#3 in the Christian Trinity).

The Pentecostal "tongues of fire" experience is an interesting mythical traditional song and dance (from Quakers, Shakers, Holy Rollers, et.al.), but clearly NOT TRUE. Factual evidence shows that most people who pray in tongues do NOT suddenly go out and live a totally-godly charismatic (Spirit-filled) powerful life. This proves scientifically that they are NOT totally under the influence of God's Holy Spirit.

People who fraudulently claim to have been miraculously healed by the Holy Spirit still have many ongoing progressive physical afflictions. If a perfect God healed you perfectly and filled you with His perfect Holy Spirit, you would be perfect in mind, body, and soul - and IT WOULD SHOW. If it doesn't, you aren't.

These are undeniable hard facts, regardless of the MYTHICAL BIG LIES that many religious-cult Pentecostal people tell today.

"If the facts don't match your religion, LIE about the facts." Pentecostal politicians (like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry) are continually being caught in well-documented Big Lies week after week. They claim visions of grandeur and a calling from God to do what they do. God did NOT call Michele Bachmann AND Rick Perry to win the 2012 election and become the U.S. president. At least one of them must be lying (actually both). Their submissive followers ignore the obvious truth. The gullible only hear what they want to hear - on the criminal Rupert Murdoch's dishonest Fox News, and a variety of televangelist broadcasts.

Angry fanatical Pentecostal politicians are beyond any shadow of a doubt gullible, manipulated, manipulative, weak-minded fools - who are extremely dangerous to society.

Their modern Tea Party crackpot popularity proves what a dishonest, selective-memory, non-learning, gullible world we live in today.

God save us from irrational suicidal insanity. We pray in private "Thy will be done."

If you have ever been duped into praying in tongues, think back to the human peer pressure that was applied, which got you started. It is much like the self-destructive bad habits of junk food, smoking, drinking, or drugs. One way to help addicts break an irrational suicidal habit is help them think back to the heavy-handed peer pressure that got them started in the first place. Once Christians has been pressured into praying in tongues, it is extremely difficult to get them to admit the truth. they would rather be fed to lions. New Pentecostal Christians are taught not to "blaspheme the Holy Spirit" (from Mark 3:28-29). Much of the extreme mental manipulative power of fanatical religious cults is based on an exaggerated fear of God, as presented by self-appointed human religious leaders. I Love The Majestic Creator of the Universe. I have nothing to fear from God or death. But, I despise manipulative false religious hypocrites, as Jesus did the Pharisees in His time.

People who accepted Oral Robert's silly stupidity are clearly highly-suggestible gullible fools who are easily influenced by whatever flows from a charismatic pulpit, regardless of scientific evidence, or what the Bible actually says. Once Oral had fraudulently entrapped simple-minded rural people into his Pentecostal message, it was an easy next step to selfishly extract money from them - for his personal wealth accumulation plan. The truth is well-documented today.

Oral's radical fanatical message was always COUNTER TO the Book of Acts Full Gospel. Oral explicitly REJECTED Jesus' teaching that "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!" - Matthew 19:24 Oral's innovative Seed Faith religious invention gave Oral the ability to fraudulently extract large donations from rich people (with a guilty conscious), which Oral did more effectively with televangelism than others had done (other than the Vatican, et.al.).

Oral was NOT supported by most local churches, since he made it clear that he was in direct competition for donations from their congregations. Without support from a single denomination, Oral was an independent wealth-accumulation entrepreneur. He started out in a small tent. He had a simple radio broadcast that brought in money for his personal use. Every time Oral bought more radio time, his income increased. When televisions became widely available in many rural homes, Oral enthusiastically became the first televangelist, where he rapidly honed his two-faced money-raising sales pitch.

The essence of Oral's Seed Faith message was that true believers should send their money to him, and God would reward them with great wealth on Earth (as God did Oral). Gullible "get rich quick" Pentecostal Christian fools (who selfishly wanted great wealth like Oral's) ignored the teachings of Jesus and the New Testament fact that "the love of money is the root of all evil." They faithfully sent their money to Oral, and waited for a large earthly "return on their investment" (which never came for the vast majority).

Old-fashioned Marketing 101: Give the fish hook away for free. (There is no such thing as a "free lunch".) See "Selling God" movie: http://www.amazon.com/Selling-God-Noam-Chomsky/dp/B004MA1K1C or on Netflix

Vendors used to give away razors for free, then charge a high price for their unique razor blades. Webpages offer free eBooks, if you'll give them your email address (so they can bombard you with targeted spam). Blood sugar meters are free for the growing number of self-made obese diabetics - then they charge almost a dollar per patented test strip for the rest of your life.

So it is with "free" salvation. Evangelists appeal to selfish human "something for nothing" GREED (for eternity in Heaven), but then they ask for 10% of your gross income (a tithe Genesis 14) for the rest of your life !

 

Expect A Miracle - Housing Bubble that broke the camel's back

Since gullible simpletons had been told by Oral (and later by his son Richard) to "Expect A Miracle", followers of Roberts' Prosperity Gospel took many BAD RISKS that they selfishly expected would give God an opportunity to reward them handsomely in the here and now. One common joke was that God came to them and said: "If you want to win the lottery, give Me a break and buy a ticket." Gambling on many risky things became commonplace "prosperity gospel" normal behavior. Texas Christian George W. Bush encouraged this Bad Prosperity Theology by deregulating banks who made millions of toxic sub-prime mortgages to unworthy credit risks.

Some economic author's attribute at least part of the huge American housing bubble to Prosperity Theology followers taking on way-too-much debt, in direct contradiction to Proverbs 22:7, which says: "The borrower is servant to the lender" and Jesus in Matthew 6:2: "No man can serve two masters . . . You cannot serve God and money."

WEALTH-ACCUMULATION TELEVANGELIST PROSPERITY THEOLOGY CAN LEAD TO DEEP DEBT, HOME FORECLOSURE, AND ANTI-JESUS INDENTURED SERVATUDE

A few of Oral's faithful donors starved, despite requests to extremely-wealthy Roberts for assistance. They planted many seeds of faith as they were told to do, which did NOT germinate. They expected impossible miracles, which did NOT happen. The failure facts were covered up by the wealth-accumulation Prosperity Theology community.

Oral Roberts was the first televangelist to deceive his followers with computer-generated letters that looked like individual responses from Oral to their prayer requests. Oral's faith-healing was based on "Point Of Contact", such as Oral's "laying on of hands", "touching the television set", being "slain in the spirit" (dramatically falling down when touched), and mass-produced "Prayer Cloths" with a machine-made facsimile of Oral Roberts's signature, which were deceptively supposed to transfer Oral's healing touch to the distant receiver. The practice followed the previous pattern of "Holy Rollers" and "Quakers" who shook or rolled on the floor when touched by evangelists. It sometimes triggered sexual orgasms, which reinforced the behavior with reported euphoric visions of Jesus.

The commercial website www.OralRoberts.com (now run by Richard Roberts) still offers Point Of Contact Prayer Cloths and promises: "Expect a miracle. . . . The moment we ask God for something - the moment we do our part and plant our seed of faith - we should believe God that the answer is on its way. It is important to expect our miracle so we can recognize it and reach forth to take it when it comes." This invalid message does not differentiate between asking for good things or evil things (like wealth accumulation), which were specifically condemned by Jesus.

When the gullible expect seemingly-impossible selfish miracles, they will testify that ordinary scientifically-explainable occurrences are answers to their faithful fervent prayers, which perpetuates gullibility among others. Some even lie and embellish the Truth to make their miracle sound more impressive to others. You can see examples on www.OralRoberts.com . Their poorly-hidden message is: "My faith is stronger than your faith, so God has rewarded me more than you" - Pure Crackpot Hogwash.

Tens of millions worldwide are now addicted to Oral-Roberts-legacy health-and-wealth prosperity theology, which contradicts some of Jesus' foundational teachings, and transfers great wealth to fraudulent deceivers of the faithful. If Oral Roberts' touch could heal the multitudes, why then could Oral Roberts never heal his own speech impediment lisp? Why did he die a slow painful death? Why did he go totally insane in his later years?

If Abraham Lincoln had a fast-talking charismatic southern televangelist con man like Oral Roberts, the North could have gotten the South to do anything Lincoln wanted, and there would have been no Civil War. (chuckle)

Oral Roberts University (ORU) - Seeds Of Deceit

Oral Roberts took part of his ill-gotten gains and built a gaudy Bible college campus that he vainly named "Oral Roberts University" (despite strong objections from his Christian contributors). Everything about ORU architecture was designed to demonstrate "I'm worth more than you" wealth accumulation, and wasteful conspicuous consumption.

If the upstream Arkansas river earthen dam fails (like the New Orleans levees did in 2005) the entire poorly-designed ORU campus will be flooded.

The space-ship-looking ORU centerpiece "Prayer Tower" is topped with a noisy large natural gas flare that burns 24 / 365. It lights the night for several miles away. It is adjusted to burn bright yellow (starved for oxygen), which expensively generates a large amount of air-pollutant particulates, and toxic carbon monoxide. Is this God's will?

Oral said that God inspired the ORU buildings, but the entire gaudy campus is built in total disharmony with God's Laws of Nature.

There are no ORU buildings that use "green" technology, free sunshine or wind energy. They are very inefficient. They burn huge amounts of natural gas.

There are triangle-shaped buildings on the ORU campus, with high external surface area and thousand of square feet of useless interior space in the corners.

Some buildings were covered with expensive gold glass - held in place with hundreds of pounds of custom-gold-plated screws.

A primary ORU facility was a duplicate of the NBC Burbank television broadcast studio, where Oral and Richard Roberts produced their deceptive wealth-accumulation prosperity theology television broadcasts to the faithful gullible. Oral spared no expense to produce the highest-quality broadcasts for his seed-faith greedy wealth-accumulation message. A good video can make rational people believe the irrational. Roberts' videos were always NBC-broadcast top quality.

Oral broadcast that a 700-foot-tall Jesus had commanded him to build the three tallest buildings on the campus, so the faithful should send Oral even more money than ever before (to increase his real estate net worth). You just can't argue with 700-foot-tall Jesus. (snicker)

There was a controversy about the tallest ORU building, since it is in the landing path for the local airport. Pilots objected, but Oral won political approval.

The shells for these three buildings were constructed but never occupied. The risky miracle that Oral expected never happened, and the speculative buildings had to be sold under the inept mismanagement of Oral's extremely-corrupt son Richard. This pretty much proved that Oral's 700-foot Jesus story was a deceptive self-serving lie (as were many of his anti-Jesus words and methods).

After the 700-foot-Jesus false-prophet failure, Oral Roberts' divine visions became increasingly ridiculous. He went quite insane, and his Board of Regents appointed his son Richard as the President of Oral Roberts University.

Richard Roberts led a decadent life of immoral luxury, flying his family around frivolously in the expensive corporate jet, and lying about excessive unauthorized expenses, until a lawsuit exposing the scandal was filed in 2007.

Richard was married, divorced and remarried. I Timothy 3 and Titus 1:5-9 demands that a church leader be "the husband of one wife." If you don't have your own house in order, you clearly have no right to tell others how to lead their lives (unless you are preaching to complete fools).

 

Richard Roberts ORU lawsuit, scandal, vote of no confidence, and resignation

In October 2007, three former professors filed a lawsuit claiming to have been wrongfully terminated. They alleged Richard Roberts misused university assets and illegally ordered the tax-exempt university to illegally make Republican political contributions. Other allegations included claims he used university funds to pay for his daughter's trip to The Bahamas by providing the university jet and billing other costs to the school. He maintained a stable of horses on campus and at university expense for the exclusive use of his children. Richard regularly summoned university and ministry staff to the Roberts house to do his daughters' homework. Richard and his second wife Lindsay remodeled their house at university expense 11 times in 14 years. Richard allowed the university to be billed both for damage done by his daughters to university-owned cars. He acquired a red Mercedes-Benz convertible and a white Lexus SUV for his wife Lindsay through ministry donors.

Three days after filing the original lawsuit, the plaintiffs filed an amended version that Richard fired the university's financial comptroller (who had been employed by ORU for 26 years) and "witnesses have reported voluminous materials and documents were shredded and destroyed, constituting spoliation of evidence." The tenured faculty of Oral Roberts University gave Richard a nearly-unanimous vote of "no confidence" in Roberts. Richard resigned as ORU President, but continues to broadcast his father's anti-Jesus seed-faith greedy wealth-accumulation message to the gullible to this day.

 

People who refuse to study history condemn themselves to forever repeat its worst mistakes

The 1960 Academy Award winning movie "Elmer Gantry" was a story about fraudulent evangelists (similar to Oral Roberts). A more-telling 1972 movie about the TRUE confession of "Marjoe Gortner" exposed the manipulative techniques used by sinister entrepreneurial evangelists to selfishly extract money from simple-minded believers - who unskeptically accept whatever a charismatic evangelist preaches.

Oral Roberts' Seed Faith anti-Jesus wealth accumulation methods have exploded into a huge growth-oriented profitable tax-exempt business - with many practitioners and millions of entranced followers.

Prosperity Theology is not just for church goers any more - it is becoming mainstream secular marketing practice, just like Christmas materialistic consumerism training of greedy children.

The religious devotion to charismatic dishonest evangelists is much like the very-real state of medical hypnosis. The Greek word "hypnos" (hupnos) appears multiple times in the New Testament. Biblical hypnos references are always associated with impossible miracles, mystical visions, and life-changing teaching techniques. Modern medical science has a much-better understanding about the physiology and psychology of how evangelists, faith-healers, and medical doctors use hypnosis. Mental manipulation with hypnosis is based on well-understood psychosomatic placebo effects. Hypnos is ancient, real, and it does work well on many highly-suggestible susceptible subjects - including some with high IQ's.

Even though Oral and Richard Roberts have been exposed as fraudulent egotistical self-serving hypnotic deceivers, there are millions of good people still being duped by modern large-scale prosperity theology televangelists (with Rolex watches).

Matthew 23:25 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees (self-appointed religious leaders), hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of EXTORTION and EXCESS."

Jesus warned His followers that deceivers (like many modern televangelist) would surely come - Matthew 24:24 "There shall arise false Christs (Messiahs), and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT." (The outrageous criminal Charles Manson even claimed to be Jesus Christ.)

The Greek word "profitis" means "foreteller" - One who claims to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine God, and serves as an intermediary with less-knowledgable moral humans. Jesus' reference to "false prophets" includes deceptive evangelists who violate the foundational principles that Jesus taught. Modern false prophets are easy to identify by people who have read and retained the simple words of love and equality attributed to Jesus and His faithful followers.

Romans 16:17-18: "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." False prophets are identified by the way they live and treat others, NOT by their hypocritical or misleading words.

It is not hard to identify the anti-Jesus "fair speech" dishonest deceivers who call upon the name of Jesus Christ (or other religious leaders). Just read the basic essential teachings like the Sermon On The Mount, and avoid those greedy evangelists who arrogantly violate what Jesus taught, and how early Christians lived.

True followers of Jesus' teachings will not exploit your emotions or bank account. Jesus' disciples and the Apostle Paul worked common (like fishing and tent making) to earn their daily bread, and THEN they supported the early Christian community out of their dedication to Jesus' first principles. Be very skeptical of any wealth false prophet who asks you for money. Most early Christians died in poverty, persecuted to death for their faith.

I love many of the teachings attributed to Jesus in the New Testament. The world would be a much better place if there were only a few people who lived the Sermon on the Mount. I am not so arrogant to claim to be a Christian who lives as Jesus taught. Hypocrites who claim to be Christians do a great disservice to the faith of our fathers.

Simple minds that are hopelessly addicted to divisive self-serving anti-Jesus Prosperity Theology are a minority of the population. If the problem had died with Oral Roberts, it would not be an issue today, BUT Oral Roberts left a lasting legacy of habitual lying and dishonest false-prophet deception on some key students who attended ORU.

 

Since the Tea Party is controlled by big-oil-owned radical right-wing religious fundamentalist fanatics, we provide detailed documentation about their leaders: Crackpot ORU-Educated Michele Bachmann and "Mad Cowboy Disease" Rick Perry. They emerged as two major radical-right influences in the imminent collapse of the American government and economy.

Michele Bachman - The Fraudulent Con Man's Anti-Jesus Lasting Legacy

Oral Roberts wanted to train an army of young people to support his successful Oklahoma Bible-belt money-making televangelism enterprise. ORU formed an experimental, unaccredited School of Law. Oral's goal was to train Bible-thumping fanatical fundamentalists to infiltrate government and impose his own brand of greedy Seed Faith Christianity as an America legal requirement.

The ORU School of Law (which underwent several name changes) started its first inaugural class in 1979, including Michele Bachman, who fulfilled Oral's dream and became an outspoken radical member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Rolling Stone article about Michele's Holy War Inquisition is hilarious

Bachmann studied under John Eidsmoe, who she described as "one of the professors who had a great influence on me." Bachmann was John's research assistant on the 1987 book Christianity and the Constitution, which falsely argued that the United States was founded as a Christian theocracy, and that it should become one again, with strong support from Oral Roberts.

People who often tell this lie about America's founding fathers are called "Christian revisionists." They want to rewrite public-school text books the way that they would like it to be. "Christian" Confederate-state Tea Party revisionists are trying to change history books to say they their ghastly Civil War position was about states rights (instead of slavery).

Laughable Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin sometimes do not know as much as a fifth grader about American history.

History clearly documents that America's founding fathers made it very clear that government should NOT endorse any particular religion."It is not the legitimate province of the legislature to determine what religion is true or what false."

John Eidsmoe, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Santorum like to quote John Adams (George Washington's V.P. and the "big government" second president of the U.S.): "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Their FALSE misleading implication by quoting John Adams is that when Adams referred to "religious people" he meant "Christians" and that by extension, John Adams was a Christian. Nothing could be further from the truth. John Adams absolutely was NOT in any way a Christian.

 

The following is NOT meant in any way to influence your personal religious beliefs - It is merely factual documentation about the feelings of our founding fathers.

John Adams was educated at Harvard where Deism was expanding and many Boston churches were converting to Unitarianism. John Adams explicitly rejected many fundamental doctrines of Christianity, such as the Holy Trinity and the miracles and divinity of Jesus. Adams recognized the endless bloody abuses that Christian bigotry had caused, but John Adams did believe that religion could be a force for good in individual lives and a worthwhile influence for society at large. For over three thousand years of written history, powerful political leaders have exploited the control that religion gives them over the gullible mediocre minds. This principle is still true in Iowa USA today.

John Adams was a Unitarian Deist, NOT a Bible-believing fundamentalist Christian.

Founding fathers George Washington and John Adams wrote the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli with Muslims which clearly states: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion, - as it has in itself no character of enmity against the (Sharia) laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims), - and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Islamic) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

The above text of the Treaty of Tripoli was distributed to all U.S. Senators. It was ratified by 100% of all the Senators that were present. It was one of very few unanimous votes taken by the early U.S. Senate. On the subject of religious tolerance there was no controversy whatsoever. The treaty text clearly documents the Senate's total support of America NOT being founded on Christianity (as Eidsmoe and Bachmann falsely wrote). Subsequent writings of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison after the Treaty of Tripoli also strengthen this strong unanimous view of America's foundation of religious tolerance of all faiths (including Islam). Unlike the Church of England and the supremely-sinister Inquisition, America's foundation begins with diversity of opinion about God, and the First Amendment guarantees Free Speech.

America's founders felt that religions rely on human
gullibility about miraculous myths and fantastic fables

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that the United States is based on "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" but he also wrote: "Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." Sincere reverent belief in God does not imply belief in a particular book written by men, or in a denomination.

President Jefferson and other founding fathers were Deists with a strong scientific belief in God, the Creator of the Universe. Jefferson agreed with the good moral teachings of the Bible, but NOT in the impossible myths and false fables that it contains, or in the dogmatic dictatorial deceptive doctrines of ethnocentric bigotry that are taught from many pulpits by pious pastors and purveyors of religious persecution.

When a government becomes intertwined with a particular religion, it justifies inquisitions and murder of innocent people, just because they reject false doctrines of ethnocentric hatred and revenge. This is the example set by historical Rome, Spain, England, and modern day Iran.

James Madison (fourth president of the United States) wrote: "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries."

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution emphatically states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

The term "respecting" also implies "banning." Those who wish to ban a particular non-violent non-criminal religious cult, or even atheism, violate the American Constitution.

Even so, some early American states banned Catholic churches, and pseudo-religious American courts sentenced innocent women to be burned alive as witches for their mythical irrational religious reasons. Burning perceived witches because they disagree with your American religion is obviously in direct violation of "Thou shalt not kill." When "right to life" fanatics kill doctors who perform abortions due to rape or incest, they violate the Ten Commandments, AND American law. Racial / religious violent hate crimes are still common in America today. Should any southern state allow the Confederate flag symbol of slavery to fly on any state property? Some southern churches used to teach that Africans had no soul, and thus could be abused in any way that their owner saw fit.

When religious bigots say: (1) America should return to its Christian foundation, AND (2) America should return to its Constitutional foundation, they totally contradict themselves. The U.S. Constitution supported slavery. It contradicted many of the teachings of Jesus.

 

Christian fanatics Oral Roberts, John Eidsmoe, and Michele Bachman knowingly rejected the well-documented TRUTH about America's foundation of religious tolerance. BUT, if you are willing to reject all of history, science, and proven facts (as did Roberts, Eidsmoe and Bachman), then you can easily get many gullible non-learning mediocre-minded simpletons to believe almost anything you preach from your radical televangelism pulpit.

As a boy, there was no local church or school for Abraham Lincoln to attend. He became a self-educated avid reader. When Lincoln arrived in Washington D.C., he spent endless hours in the Library of Congress (which began with Thomas Jefferson's large personal library).

After reading the Bible, Lincoln said: "The Bible is not my book, nor Christianity my profession." Like John Adams and many others, Lincoln recognized that mediocre minds need a religious crutch, including many myths and false fables. Iowa Senator James Harlan (whose daughter married Lincoln's son Robert), introduced a Senate Resolution and convinced Lincoln to sign it, which proclaimed "a day for National prayer and humiliation. . . . to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness." Christian bigot John Hagee cited this Resolution in support of Rick Perry's day of fasting and prayer to Jesus, but Abraham Lincoln was in no way a Christian.

The U.S. motto "In God We Trust" was NOT sanctioned by our founding fathers. Salmon P. Chase, (Treasury Secretary under President Lincoln) suggested that "The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins." It was implemented in 1863 - 87 years after Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. The vast majority of Americans do not trust God enough to follow the fundament teachings of the founders of their own religious denomination (like selling your worldly possessions and giving the money to the poor).

Obviously, there are atheist American citizens who disagree with the American motto on our coins and buildings, which violates the First Amendment. One strategy of some modern atheists is to give a Bible to their teenage children and say: "Read this and decide for yourself" (as Lincoln did). IF the Bible could sell itself without manipulative evangelists (like Michele Bachmann) hypnotically distorting God's Truth, then there would be no atheists - But the Bible can't, and so there ARE many atheists.

I am a Deist, not an atheist. I believe that the Bible contains some valuable morality lessons, but I agree with America's Deist founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln in many ways.

No deceptive evangelist has ever drawn me closer to the one True God. In fact, most moronic evangelists make it more difficult for a rational person to believe their impossible manipulative miraculous mythical tales and fables. The Bible by itself does not bring me closer to God. Silly story lines like Noah's Ark and contradictory "don't kill" versus "do kill witches" make me question the mental competency of anyone who accepts the Bible's irrational flawed logic by blind dumb faith.

It is NOT evangelists OR the Bible that makes me faithful. It is the scientific study of the unchangeable Perfect Laws of Nature that gives me a Profound Love of the Majestic Creator of the Universe, and makes me a Deist - like many of the world's great scientists, and essentially all of America's founding fathers most certainly were.

It is in the context of being a Scientific Deist that I find many of Jesus' morality teachings inspirational, but so many of the Bible's self-contradictions are PROOF that it is at-least partially based on lies and exaggerations - written on ancient scrolls by imperfect delusional scribes, who edited the text from one copy to the next, as times and politics changed. We have irrefutable scientific factual proof of that in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other historical sources of Bible texts.

 

By boldly lying about America's founding fathers being Christians, Eidsmoe and Bachmann
drew skeptical attention to their manipulative deception, and they begged for the Truth to be told:

None of America's founding fathers were atheists, but most of them were "DEISTS" (not Christians). Deists believe that God created the universe (as I strongly do). Most Deists believe that Jesus walked the Earth as a moral man (and taught many good things, as I do), but Deists do not necessarily believe that all of the Bible (or what flows from the human pulpit) is infallible, or to be taken literally in all cases. Many early-American founding father Deists REJECTED some of the puritanical fanatical teachings about Christianity, the Holy Trinity, unscientific impossible miracles and myths, the oppressive persecution practices from the Church of England, Inquisition, and some early-American Puritans (witch burnings, etc.).

Many intelligent scientists (including Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein and myself) are Deists. An open-minded person cannot look through a microscope or telescope without appreciating the majesty beyond mere mortal men that set it all in motion. BUT, an observant scientist can clearly see fanatical self-contradictory hypocrisy that often flows from the pulpits of self-appointed self-serving selfish ethnocentric evangelists and false prophets who vainly abuse the name of Jesus Christ.

Benjamin Franklin: "primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practiced it on one another. The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Romish Church, but practiced it upon the Puritans. They found it wrong in Bishops, but fell into the practice themselves both here (in England) and in New England." . . . "I wish it (religion) were more productive of good works . . . I mean real good works . . . not holy-day keeping, sermon-hearing . . . or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity."

Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry are not the first or last hypocrites to pray such vain pandering prayers to draw public attention to themselves.

Ben Franklin (the scientific Deist and founding father face on our $100 bill) concluded: "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason."

During the first American Continental Congress January 1776, many states instructed their delegates to resist separation from England. Thomas Paine became known as "the firebrand of the American Revolution." George Washington later said that it was Paine who influenced his own support for the controversial July 4, 1776 Declaration of Independence.

Was Thomas Paine a Christian? "All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe." . . . "The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun." . . . "All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit." . . . "Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst."

George Washington will always be remembered by school children as "the father of America." Washington was a Deist, not a Christian. "Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by the difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be depreciated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society."

John Adams was the second President of USA: "As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?" . . . "The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Nowhere in the Gospels do we find a precept for Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole cartloads of other foolish trumpery that we find in Christianity."

Ethan Allen was an American Revolutionary War patriot. "I have generally been denominated a Deist, the reality of which I never disputed, being conscious I am no Christian." . . . "In those parts of the world where learning and science have prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue."

Thomas Jefferson was an educated scientist, architect, land owner, gentleman farmer, expert statesman, international ambassador, and third President of the USA. Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statue for Religious Freedom, and the 1776 Declaration of Independence, which is based on "the laws of nature and of nature's God."

Jefferson was a Deist. "And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors."

Jefferson believed that Jesus was a good morality teacher, but that organized Christian dogma was full of impossible miraculous lies and divisive deception - used to justify the church's inhumane deadly behaviors (like the Inquisition and burning witches). Jefferson took his razor and removed all of the impossible miracle scriptures in the New Testament, and published what is known as "The Jefferson Bible - The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" (a much-smaller more-believable book). In 1904, Congress printed the Jefferson Bible, and presented it to every new member of Congress for many years. (The Jefferson Bible is available online for free today in searchable electronic form - We recommend it to you. You do not have to be a Christian to appreciate its believable morality teachings. It does NOT say that Jesus is the only path to God.)

John Hancock (first signer of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence) was an open-minded Deist: "let us humbly commit our righteous cause to the great Lord of the Universe, who loveth righteousness and hateth iniquity. And having secured the approbation of our hearts by a faithful and unwearied discharge of our duty to our country, let us joyfully leave our concerns in the hands of Him who raiseth up and pulleth down the empires and kingdoms of the world as He pleases; and with cheerful submission to His sovereign will."

The fourth President of USA was James Madison - another Deist from Virginia. He was an effective statesman who governed well with reasoning and logic. By the end of his presidency he had produced an "era of good feeling." Madison was "the father of the Constitution", which does not even mention God. "Experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."

To claim that America's founding fathers were Christians (or that Jesus wants you to accumulate great oppressive wealth) is absolute manipulative bigoted balderdash - believed only by gullible, barbarous, illiterate ignorant idiots (and submissive, suggestible Tea Party fools)

Do you honestly think that any self-righteous anti-Jesus Christians will read these words and pay any attention to the well-documented Truth? NO!

"People hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest" - Lie La Lie, Simon and Garfunkel

"Religion is the smile on a dog" - Eddie Brickell (New Bohemians and Paul Simon's wife)

Albert Einstein had a favorite joke for non-learning, bigoted, hypocritical,
deceptive, revisionist fools like John Eidsmoe and Michele Bachmann:
"If the facts don't match the theory - change the facts." - chuckle

 

Two thirds of Americans now claim some affiliation with Christianity, but they are NOT the 100% unanimous representation of the USA. In fact, American Christians seem to largely reject the primary principles of Jesus' teachings. Obvious ongoing examples include: the love of money, capitalistic accumulation of wealth, covetous conspicuous consumption, persecution and oppression of the poor.

Consider this often-violated commandment: Exodus 20:4
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven"

In Exodus 20:13 (and elsewhere) the law of Moses says clearly and unambiguously "Thou Shalt NOT Kill" with absolutely NO exceptions for any reason at all. BUT, Moses himself did NOT believe what he had laboriously carved into The Ten Commandments stone tablets. When Moses came down from the mount, he saw God's chosen people (that Moses had delivered out of Egypt) had made a graven image and made sacrifices to it. They ate, drank and made merry while dancing naked before their man-made golden idol.

In Exodus 32: 27-28 Moses commanded: "Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men", which was clearly a hypocritical violation of Moses' own law. Those who write the laws from man or God often break them.

 

Here is one of Jesus' most-important teachings that is rejected by almost all modern self-proclaimed "Bible believing" Christians. Matthew 6:5-10 (The Sermon On The Mount): "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

Clearly, you can NOT be a Bible-believing Christian follower of Jesus and also wear a cross or pray in public - Reject those hypocrites that do

People who stand beneath a cross and pray pandering political prayers in public are anti-Bible, even if they use Jesus Christ's name in vain

Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain said that Michele Bachmann's frequent public prayer "sounds like the ultimate pander." We agree with he.

The word "pander" means: (1) "a pimp, who procures customers for a prostitute, or lures people into prostitution for personal profit" (a crime in most states), or (2) "unscrupulous catering to special interests without any personal principles, such as a politician who says one thing to one group, and the opposite to another, unscrupulously-and-hypocritically preaching to what each one wants to hear, to selfishly win their votes and financial support."

There is an awful lot of anti-Jesus religious pandering in American Tea Party Terrorist politics today

The fact that public prayer pandering is a well-tolerated common practice does NOT mean that it is correct Christianity

Michele Bachmann strongly supports vocal prayer pandering in publically-funded schools. Who would she have determine what to pray? (Herself?)

If you believe that Christians should ever pray in public, then YOU reject the well-documented primary New Testament TRUTH, in favor of man-made false-prophet anti-Jesus traditions. How many self-proclaimed Christians pay any attention at all to the essential Sermon On The Mount? Do they not know how to read the book that they carry around? Do they only read what they are told, and not the context of the message? Do they pray the Lord's Prayer out loud in public, in direct contradiction to what Jesus taught? Which part of "enter your closet and shut the door" can they not understand? Even in King James English, these simple words are easy to clearly understand by literate people, as they were intended to be. If you reject the fundamental teachings of Jesus DO NOT CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN.

Jesus taught true Christians to ONLY pray in a closet where no one could see them. The only prayer that has any meaning is "Thy will be done." It is NOT a prayer for God to change His mind. God is NOT capricious or arbitrarily influenced by prayers or the unstable politics du jour. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, no modern human judge can reverse the everlasting unwavering Truth. The timeless Creator of the Universe is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

"Thy will be done" is a prayer to align the one who prays in their closed closet with God's timeless will, which was preordained at the beginning of Creation. All other prayers are selfish vanity. Oral Roberts taught his followers to pray on worldwide television and ask for great wealth, expecting all prayers for miracles to be answered, regardless of what they were for. "God Bless America" is a public prayer request for God to endorse every selfish ethnocentric bigoted evil thing that we do. What could be more anti-Jesus than that?

Janice Joplin's song was a parody of Oral Roberts "Expect A Miracle" message: "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?" It worked for the Roberts family - Why not for you?

 

Faith Of Our (Deist) Fathers

Misplaced faith in the impossible, unscientific, revisionist lies and hatred (taught by those who distort the Truth for their own personal gain) is destructive to society.

Faith in Truth, Righteousness, and a Virtuous Life is essential to survival, productivity, and shared national prosperity

The word "faith" appears throughout the New Testament - for example Hebrews 11:
"faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report."

1800's American Hymn
"Faith Of Our Fathers, we will love - Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life
Faith Of Our Fathers - Holy Faith, We will be true to thee till death"

Without faith in a compelling vision of the future, the people will perish

Faith in the best of human potential is wonderfully motivational, BUT

Faith in self-serving false prophets and corrupt government is deep dark evil

 

The Boston Tea Party and The American Revolution were ANTI-CHRISTIAN Historical Events

Violent Bloody Revolutionary Killing Violates MANY Old and New Testament Religious Scriptures:

Romans 13:9-10: "Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if
there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

Moses' Law - Exodus 20:13: "Thou Shalt Not Kill" We strongly agree, (except for irrefutable mass murderers).

The Old Testament does mention several exceptions to Thou Shalt Not Kill, including Deuteronomy 18:10:
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth
divination, or an observer of times (astrology), or an enchanter, or a witch" Exodus 22:18 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live",
which explains the Puritan Salem witch burnings (that our founding-father Deists abhorred), but it does not explain why 2010
Tea Party "Christians" supported the habitual liar, mentally-unstable, self-proclaimed WITCH Christine O'Donnell. (snicker)
Have you ever met UNGODLY superstitious "Christians" who read their horoscope to influence any decision?

Hebrews and Christians must not allow witches, astrology observers, or rebels among you (if you believe the Bible).

1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion as is the sin of witchcraft" - i.e., American Revolutionaries should not have been allowed to live

The Boston Tea Party was about British Stamp Act increased taxes without American representation.
The Hebrew Pharisees tried to trap Jesus into making a statement about not paying taxes. He replied:
Matthew 22:21 "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's" - Tax rebellion is anti-Christian

Jesus taught His disciples to obey the evil hypocritical authorities above them, but do not do what they do. Matthew 23:
"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and
lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works
they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And
love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets"
- The American Revolution violated this teaching of Jesus - Most U.S. founding fathers did not claim to be Christians

Since the Pope sits in the seat that Jesus appointed to Peter, by inference, some Catholics believe that Protestants
are rebellious anti-Christians (who resisted the deadly Inquisition) - All Protestants violate Matthew 23 submission.
You cannot rebel against any evil existing authority figure and also be a Matthew-23-believing true Christian.
Do you agree? Which parts of the Bible do you reject?

I Peter 2: "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Or unto governors . . . For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God."
- America's Deist founding fathers did NOT submit to the King or Church of England, as Jesus and Peter said to do

Romans 13: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. . . . Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth
the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works,
but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
. . . But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; . . . Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute (taxes) also: . . . Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom
tribute is due; custom to who m custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love
one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
- America's revolutionary Deists did NOT do what Paul wrote to the Romans - Deists do not claim to be Christians

The revolutionary Deist signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and the supporters of our Constitution
risked their lives and fortunes for the anti-Christian principles that they believed in. Anyone who claims that our
founding fathers were all Christians either knows nothing about the Bible and history, OR THEY ARE EVIL LIARS.

I am absolutely NOT saying that the American Revolution was bad - I owe my life and liberty to our founding fathers.
The simple point of this section is that the American Revolution was a very-brave anti-Christian thing for them to do.

No one who signed the U.S. Declaration of Independence could possibly be a submissive Bible-believing Christian !

No one who signed the U.S. Declaration of Independence could possibly be a submissive Bible-believing Christian !

No one who signed the U.S. Declaration of Independence could possibly be a Bible-believing Christian !

No radical revolutionary Tea Party member can possibly be a Bible-believing Christian ! ! !

Anyone who refutes the above is not familiar with Bible basics, the Tea Party, or the bloody American Revolution

If you poll American Tea Party members, almost every last one of them will reject the above well-documented Truth

Their gullible lives are based on blind faith in what they are told by manipulative politicians and preachers, NOT THE PLAIN TRUTH

 

As a Deist Scientist (like Franklin and Jefferson) I believe that non-violent revolution against hypocrisy is reasonable behavior,
even though it violates literal interpretation of many Old and New Testament religious principles. Do you agree with me?

Pervasive pandering pious puritanical political preachers pollute public perception of the documented TRUTH

The Bible stands in direct contradiction to the bloody American Revolution - You cannot support both !

 

Anti-Jesus Rick Perry Panders To Poorly-Educated, Gullible, Self-Proclaimed "Christians"
- Perry Is A Frightening Christocracy Tea-vangelist Corrupt Politician with a proven track record

Rick Perry: "I am being called" (by God to be President). Michele Bachmann makes a similar claim. At least one of the two candidates must be lying.

Rick replaced George W. Bush as the governor of oil-corrupted "Christian" conservative Texas (with the big pentagram flag - home of the evil Bush Empire).

Perry went to Texas A & M (remedial farmer school). Rick wanted to be a veterinarian, but his "C" and "D" grades were too low, so he joined the Air Force.

Texans have a term for inept corrupt cowboy politicians: "All hat, no cattle"
In Perry's case, he is All hair, no brains

Informed Texas Progressive Democrats call Rick Perry: "The radical fanatical Taliban in a ten-gallon hat."

Governor Perry (running on Bush's coat tails): "Certainly, you are not going to see a great philosophical
difference between Rick Perry and George Bush. We share the same type of philosophy."

"Rick Perry has an ugly side. He never met a lobbyist that he didn't hug.
He is a George Bush Plutocrat (rule by the wealthy), without the intelligence or ethics."
- Jim Hightower - Twice elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner

Bush called himself a "compassionate conservative." Perry is most certainly NOT.
"He (Perry) is as tough and mean and as hard a guy as there's been."
- Paul Burka, Senior Executive Editor of Texas Monthly magazine

George W. Bush was known to work both sides of the Texas legislative aisle. Rick Perry said in June, 2011:
"The political left are never going to like us, so let's stop trying to curry favor with them"
Rick Perry is a "NO Compromise" Tea Party Terrorist, like the ones who created the 2011 Debt Ceiling Crisis

 

A 4th-grade New Hampshire boy asked presidential candidate Rick Perry about the age of the Earth. Perry replied:
"I hear your mom was asking about Evolution. You know, it's a theory that's out there.
It's got some gaps in it, but in Texas we teach both Creationism and Evolution in our public schools,
because I figured you're smart enough to figure out which one is right."

In the background, the mother prompts her son: "Ask him why he doesn't believe in science." Perry said:
"We teach the straight out facts in Texas in our schools. You'll have to pick those up in our classbooks."
