DOMESTIC TERRORISTS IN OUR MIDST

“Homeground Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.” is a new documentary that needs public attention.

“Act like you are his friend. Then kill him.” –Sheik Muburak Gilani explaining how to kill American infidels

The 2006 Justice Department document that exposes 35 terrorist training compounds in the U.S. was marked “Dissemination Restricted to Law Enforcement.” All the copies of Sheik Muburak Gilani’s terrorist training video, “Soldiers of Allah,” had been confiscated and sealed—all of them, except one…That one errant surviving copy landed with the Christian Action Network and became the foundation for the compelling documentary Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S

I too often say, it is not a question of WHO is right or wrong but WHAT is right or wrong that counts. The “Soldiers of Allah”/ Jamaat ul-Fuqra is flat out WRONG on multiple levels.

That the FBI, Homeland Security and other law enforcement knows who and what this group is and has apparently not moved aggressively to shut them down and make arrests is counter-intuitive brain flatulence of epic (and potential deadly) proportions.

After watching the video twice the obvious question is, where is the Main Stream Media? This story is what Sixty Minutes, 20/20, and the gaggle of presumptive wannabes is supposed to be all about.

Sheik Muburak Gilani can be seen on video saying, “We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America.”

If a GOP candidate, talk show gadfly or militia even hinted at the domestic terrorism “Soldiers of Allah” advocates, they would be raided, shut down, tried and jailed quicker than a minnow can swim a dipper. How long did it take to drop chlorine in the Timothy McVey gene pool?

However, despite an abundance of evidence and series of violent crimes, Sheik Gilani appears literally to be getting away with murder.

• FBI Special Agent Jody Weis said, “What we are witnessing here is kind of a brand-new form of terrorism. These home-grown terrorists can prove to be as dangerous as any known group, if not more so.”
• Former FBI Director Robert Mueller said, “These home-grown terrorists may prove to be as dangerous as groups like al Qaeda, if not more so.”
• Senator Joseph Lieberman said, “We must also work to protect our country against the next attack---terrorism spawned right here among us.
That 2006 Department of Justice report said, “Today, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has more than 35 suspected communes and more than 3,000 members spread across the United States, all in support of one goal: the purification of Islam through violence.”

The documented list of this group’s violence screams out for action. So why is law enforcement sitting on their hands?

George Santayana is often quoted as having said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Six years ago I wrote about Peter Lance’s gripping series of books. In the wake of interviews with scores of central figures and hundreds of pages of declassified documents, Lance uncovered startling evidence of FBI negligence that even a joint congressional committee either missed or ignored. His revelations can be read in “1000 Years for Revenge: International Terrorism and the FBI – The Untold Story.”

It is a tragedy to not know what we don’t know. To know what we know and not do anything about it exceeds mere malfeasance.

Sheik Gilani’s “soldiers have been actively engaging in domestic terrorism” since 1979 and reportedly continue to this day.

While hiding in plane view in 35 states and responsible for some 50 terrorist attacks on American soil linked to Jamaat ul-Fuqra the obvious question is what is law enforcement waiting for?

I was once attacked by CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) over something I said (on WMAL in D.C.). Basically I observed that the Qur’an allows Muslims to lie to unbelievers. Kinda/sorta like what Sheik Gilani said, “Act like you are his friend. Then kill him.”

Robert Spencer (from Jihad Watch) noted in a FrontPage article, “Yet even as it complained about Metcalf’s statement, CAIR’s press release attacking Metcalf doesn’t say what Metcalf said was false. Why not? Because it’s true.” Duh!

“The truth,” Ann Coulter has observed, “is the truth whether we like it or not.”

The allegations in the referenced documentary are serious as a heart attack…and potentially more deadly.

At an absolute minimum, the Foggy Bottom Bureaucrats should add Jamaat ul Fuqra to the State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organization Watch List, thereby shutting down the domestic terrorist camps in the U.S. run by ul-Fuqra's front group, Muslims of America.

OBAMA SELLS U.S. TO CHINA INC.

By Cliff Kincaid

February 24, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

The truth is starting to seep out. Because of the need for more money to finance the latest bailout—the Obama economic stimulus plan—America is going further in debt to the Chinese Communists. Our country is officially being sold to the highest bidder. And we have striking confirmation of this fact from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The good news is that a correspondent for the mainstream media—Wyatt Andrews of CBS News—has figured this out and has managed to get on the air with his terrifying findings. Andrews’ report on the Friday CBS Evening News with Katie Couric was direct and to the point. Clinton is in China to beg for a handout.

“The truth is the Administration needs China’s help. America’s stimulus is very expensive and the U.S. wants China to help finance it,” Andrews reported. This is what America has become—a country that sends its Secretary of State abroad to beg for money from foreigners. In this case, it’s a communist dictatorship that forces women to have abortions, tortures Christians, and threatens the freedom and democratic government of Taiwan.

So the cost of the “stimulus” is more sacrifice of American independence and sovereignty, as well as our own values, ideals, and commitment to human freedom. It is a sad day both for America and China.

Clinton was shown saying, “We are relying on the Chinese government to continue to buy our debt.” The almighty dollar takes precedence over everything else, even as it falls in value and the dangers of hyperinflation and national bankruptcy loom. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that pandering to the Chinese will not solve anything. This policy, set in motion by big banks and corporations and pursued by Democratic and Republican Administrations, is what got us into this predicament in the first place.

Clinton’s comments, which concern the overall economic policy of the new administration, are far more significant than the Obama mortgage plan. Clinton is getting to the heart of the issue—how the mortgage plan and the stimulus are being financed.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs expressed irritation last week that CNBC commentator Rick Santelli went into a rant over the prospect of forcing American taxpayers to underwrite the bad mortgages of deadbeats and others who are unable to pay their mortgages. But Santelli only touched on one small part of the problem.

Where’s the outrage over the pro-China policy that spans several administrations, and which has benefited his corporate bosses at General Electric, of permitting the communist dictatorship in Beijing to have the upper hand in global trade relations? All that Santelli has to do to understand this problem is attend a GE annual meeting and listen to the complaints of the GE workers losing their jobs to China. But don’t expect to see anything about that on CNBC, NBC, or MSNBC.

If you want more information on this travesty, please go to the website www.screwthatbulb.org and learn how GE is going “green” which has the effect of shipping American jobs to China. If Santelli did a rant about that, you can bet he wouldn’t be on the air again.

We were already in terrible shape under the Bush Administration because of a mysterious financial collapse apparently caused by illegal manipulation of our markets, but now the communists have us completely over a barrel because the Obama Administration, with the acquiescence of Congress, recklessly decided to spend even more money that we don’t have. Under the circumstances, this is criminal negligence.

Mrs. Clinton is officially stating what everyone should know is the truth. She deserves credit for being brutally honest. America has become a subsidiary of China Inc. In order for the U.S. to stay afloat, we have to depend on Beijing to finance a bailout. But the other major problem, of course, is that the stimulus is not a bailout in any real sense of the word. It depends on more government debt and borrowing at a huge cost of being more indebted to the Chinese. So the bailout is really digging our nation’s grave deeper.

To make matters even worse, as the Andrews report made clear, the cost will include the jobs that the Obama Administration says will be created by the stimulus. He interviewed an American manufacturer about the loss of American jobs caused by China’s trade practices, who said that the “cheating” in global trade has cost millions of American manufacturing jobs.

In the end, the only “jobs” that will be created or “saved,” as Obama likes to say, will likely be those benefiting from spending the federal money that the federal government doesn’t have. Most of them work for government at all levels.

Productive private sector manufacturing jobs will not be created—and cannot be—because despite their campaign promises, neither Obama nor Hillary will do anything about those unfair Chinese trade practices, such as the currency manipulation, that make Chinese goods artificially cheap and American goods more expensive.

The Andrews report, which caught me completely by surprise on a newscast that tends to portray the new Administration in completely flattering tones, was absolutely blistering in contrasting what Obama and Clinton had said during the campaign and what they are doing now.

“Both the man who became the President and his future Secretary of State told the voters they would make the [trade] cheating go away,” Andrews reported. He showed candidate Obama saying that he would do everything in his power to stop China from manipulating its currency and Hillary saying that she would “aggressively crack down on China’s unfair trade practices.” These claims were shown to be empty and abandoned campaign promises. We should have assumed that would be the case.

Andrews asked Secretary of State Clinton about this and “she explained that times have changed.” Clinton said, “That was at a different time when we weren’t facing the kind of difficult situations we face today.” Translation: we need their money and we are in no position to demand or criticize anything. These Clinton comments preceded Andrews’ remarks about the cost of the stimulus and the perceived need to get China to help finance it.

As we had noted in a previous column about the Administration’s so-called economic program, Clinton was going to China for the purpose of getting Chinese money to finance the stimulus. Now we have it all on the record. Her trip was designed to reinforce Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s private conversations on this topic with Chinese officials.

The land of the free and the home of the brave has now become the land of the quivering milquetoast, in awe of an emerging Communist giant that our big banks and corporations, as well as our government, have built into an economic superpower.

President Obama apparently sees nothing wrong with this. Indeed, during the campaign he praised China’s staging of the Olympic Games, saying their infrastructure was impressive and was something the U.S. might consider emulating.

Now, with Hillary Clinton having signaled to the Chinese dictators that we will beg for their money and ignore unfair trade practices and even human rights violations, it will be left up to President Obama to seal the deal. When he gives his State of the Union-like speech to Congress and the American people on Tuesday night, he will in reality be auditioning for a front-row seat on the board of directors of China Inc. Don’t expect to hear anything critical of the butchers in Beijing.

TEN SQUARE MILES OF CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

By: Devvy
February 23, 2009

© 2008 - NewsWithViews.com

Events over the past five months since the carefully orchestrated storm was set for bank "bail outs" should make it clear to any American not walking around in a self-imposed coma that we have crossed the Rubicon. As I have written for many years: Non essential businesses will continue to go under as Americans only have enough disposable income for absolute necessities like shelter, food and transportation to their jobs or the unemployment office. This massive give away by Congress since last September is simply sealing our fate.

Americans are frightened, confused. Already we've seen several tragedies where fathers have killed their entire families and themselves because he's lost his job and the bills were piling up. We will see more and worse. We the people are now being held hostage with a gun to our head to aid and assist in the final destruction of our constitutional republic. We are being held hostage with the gun of government to our heads to fund the final destruction of capitalism, freedom and liberty.

We the people are being held hostage with the gun of totalitarian government to fund the continuation of the unconstitutional, immoral invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan based on lies and manipulation. To fund organizations who conduct massive vote fraud (ACORN), filth in the Arts and schools and more killing of unborn babies. Fund the furtherance of one world government as the impostor president is openly shoving communism down our throats with the approval from most members of Congress.

The whimpering Republicans who are now "reinventing themselves" did NOTHING to correct the abuses by Marxist Bill Clinton and shoved a good dose of Fascism down our throats. Now they're objecting to more of the same they heaped upon us in big spending and draconian legislation from 1995 - 2007? Republican turn coats ("leaders") are actually embracing nationalization of private banks. That alone should tell GOP faithful where these poltroons stand on free markets.

When the usurper president, Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka and so forth announced you and I will be required to bail out toxic mortgages to save home owners facing or in foreclosure, I was surprised anyone was surprised. Didn't Marxist Obama tell you during the rigged election that he was going to redistribute the wealth:

"Conservatives yesterday ripped Obama after he was caught on video telling an Ohio plumber that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and "spread the wealth around" to those with lesser incomes."

The impostor president has also proclaimed in yet another "fix it" plan for the economy: Tax businesses and tax the wealthy. In order to buy such warped thinking, one must check their brain at the door next to Obama's empty head. The wealthy create jobs. To single them out for "extra" taxes is to punish success and violate the U.S. Constitution for apportioned taxation (See A Pioneer on the Withholding Issue about half way down).

Piling heavier taxes on businesses to sell the illusion of "stimulating the economy," is somewhere between lunacy and utter stupidity that won't save or create a single job. The massive number of pink slips falling all across the country continues to build: 600,000 more jobs were lost last month bringing the total (as near as one can tell with all the lies and cooking the books in DC) to 3.2 million jobs lost in 13 months.

States, due to gross mismanagement, can't pay tens of thousands of unemployment claims as jobs disappear and revenues shrink. The gang rape bill will force you and me with a gun to our heads to fund state deficits by stealing the fruits of our labor.

California is run by a communist state legislature (Democrats) and has been for years. The Republican leadership in California said a fiscal conservative like Sen. Tom McClintock "couldn't win." He didn't have name recognition. Those cretins shoved an immoral pig down the throats of their party faithful and Arnie, the grossly unqualified "movie star," moved into the governor's mansion and has rubber stamped the collapse of that state from day one. Now that California is near utter bankruptcy, Comrade Obama, with approval from Congress, will force you, me and our children to fund their mess. How far will California's $14 BILLION dollar tax increase go when they're funding almost $10 BILLION a year to feed, clothe, educate and incarcerate almost 8 million illegal aliens? Think about that good citizens of California.

These states who have blown their tax revenues out their backsides now demand "stimulus" money from your pocket. You are already fleeced by the federal machine to pay for the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education to waste HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to dumb down America's children and socially indoctrinate them with immoral agendas. Now, the states want more from an empty treasury to prop them up to pay for education, reward the criminals (illegal aliens) sucking resources and the list goes on and on. I live in Texas. It is NOT my responsibility to pay for the mistakes of South Carolina, Alaska or California's state legislatures.

Remember Obama's proclamations about how many jobs he will create (amazing considering the president of these united States of America has ZERO authority to create a single job):

Dec. 6, 2008: "President-elect Barack Obama said Saturday he has asked his economic team for a recovery plan that saves or creates more than 2 million jobs, makes public buildings more energy-efficient and invests in roads and schools."

Jan. 3, 2009: "The president-elect says he wants to "create three million new jobs" -- this is a change from a few weeks ago, when he said he wanted the plan to create OR SAVE two million jobs."

Jan. 10, 2009: "Facing growing criticism of his economic recovery plan, President-elect Barack Obama made public Saturday a detailed analysis by his economic advisers that estimates the $775 billion plan of tax cuts and new spending would create 3.5 million jobs over the next two years."

January 10, 2009: "President-elect Barack Obama countered critics with an analysis Saturday by his economic team showing that a program of tax cuts and spending like he's proposed would create up to 4.1 million jobs, far more than the 3 million he has insisted are needed to lift the country from recession."

Bald faced lies because the numbers don't lie. Tax cuts with a deficit cut in half by 2013? All hocus pocus without any basis in reality. The impostor president wants to put a gun to your head (IRS) to pay someone else's mortgage; some 7 - 9 MILLION of them while you have trouble paying your own on time. More of Obama's communist (progressive) ideology, which has enraged people all across this country. Santelli's rousting call for a new Tea Party is resounding border to border, coast to coast - except with those who believe they have the right to steal from your paycheck. Don't feed me the rubbish about "the common good." That is pure communist ideology.

Last year 2.8 million homes went into foreclosure. If the numbers (7-9 million) are accurate, the situation is even more dire than we thought. Comrade Obama is talking $75 BILLION to bail out homeowners by stealing the fruits of your labor with money that does not exist. The treasury is overdrawn almost $11 TRILLION dollars right now. How do you write another hot check for $75 BILLION dollars when your checkbook is already overdrawn by $11 TRILLION dollars? Change, Comrade Obama? Here's more change - $20.3 MILLION dollars that does not exist:

Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 of January 27, 2009: 'Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs Related To Gaza.'

Important to "the national interest" to rob and steal from you, me and our children to fund this grand larceny with more hot checks?

Not only does the U.S. Constitution NOT authorize this looting of the people's purse, but as Obama is an usurper president, this PD has NO effect or force of law. That $20.3 MILLION bux will have to be borrowed from the central bank (FED) with the interest slapped on the backs of you, me, our children and grand children.

Obama is not only a pathological narcissist, but a masterful liar and since not one member of the media at his press conference questioned the origin of those numbers of foreclosures expected, we really don't know. Remember during the so called "bail out" crisis last September what a treasury spokeswoman who should have been fired said about the $700 billion dollar bail out: "It's not based on any particular data point. We just wanted to choose a really large number." They made it up to be sufficiently enormous to frighten everyone into rapid action. And it worked."

What will never work is more bailouts or "stimulus" nonsense stealing the fruits of your labor, mine, our children and grand children to prop up what is imploding and cannot be stopped. Last September I wrote a column titled, 'Bailouts: the wound that will keep on hemorrhaging.' The gang rape bill passed by Congress and these new proposals by an usurper president represents no change, just the continuation of the march towards complete collapse. The suffering by our fellow Americans is in its infancy with the worst yet to come.

Thank you to so many people who sent email asking if I'm okay because I haven't had a column in weeks. I was out of the state from February 5 - 19th and have been trying to get caught up. The maid took the year off and I have no staff. I also do my radio show five nights a week which requires a lot of preparation. Thousands of emails come in all week long with questions and I'm trying to get them answered on my radio show in real time. Please allow me to bring up a few things here you might have missed.

Marxist Hillary Clinton is parading around Asia begging our mortal enemy, the COMMUNIST Chinese to keep buying our debt. This morally bankrupt female (who should have been indicted for a dozen crimes over the years) has made it quite clear: Human rights do not matter. It's okay with her the commies force the murder of unborn babies in China right up to nine months; their totalitarian government murders their own people to quell dissent. They use slave labor for that silk blouse or NBA basketball star endorsed tennis shoes and their "businessmen" skin dogs and cats alive. The fur from these screaming little animals is woven into doll's clothes, sweaters and parkas and sold to you in violation of our laws. Not a problem for Clinton who serves as Secretary of State illegally. China isn't our trading partner, they're the master. China holds America by the throat because they hold our debt and Clinton is begging them to buy more so Congress and Marxist Obama can continue looting the people's treasury to fund our own destruction.

While Clinton is sucking up to these monsters, these are the same commies who celebrate a bloodied America on 9/11. Do NOT ever forget that Communist China celebrated the attacks of 9/11:

Beijing Produces Videos Glorifying Terrorist Attacks on 'Arrogant' US
News Telegraph, November 3, 2001

"The Chinese state-run propaganda machine is cashing in on the terror attacks in New York and Washington, producing books, films and video games glorifying the strikes as a humbling blow against an arrogant nation. Communist Party officials say President Jiang Zemin has obsessively watched and re-watched pictures of the aircraft crashing into the World Trade Center. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, workers at Beijing Television worked round-the-clock to produce a documentary they called Attack America.

"As rescue workers pick through the rubble of the twin towers, the commentator proclaims that the city had reaped the consequences of decades of American bullying of weaker nations. He said: "This is the America the whole world has wanted to see. Blood debts have been repaid in blood. America has bombed other countries and used its hegemony to deny the natural rights of others without paying the price. Who until now has dared to avenge the hurts inflicted by unaccountable Americans."

Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit to get Clinton removed from office and we should all pray for their success.

We the people are under attack by every alphabet soup agency in this country. Our food supply is being endangered and our family farmers and ranchers are being killed off in favor of genetically modified foods and big agri corporations. Americans must put aside "fun time" to fight.

We the people are going to be used as guinea pigs again.

Remember how everyone laughed when experts tried to warn about cell phones and the link to cancer and brain tumors? It's no joke anymore as we now know. Congress unconstitutionally robbed the people's purse to fund converter boxes for the HDTV conversion. $1.34 BILLION dollars from an empty treasury to make sure people can get their daily dose of propaganda. Now experts are warning about adverse health effects from digital broadcasting; click here. Take the time to read that material.

AND: Did you know that spying cameras have been found inside these converter boxes being sold to you? See video here. (Note: Some people believe this video to be a hoax. Others believe the camera set up is possible, but can't say for sure. If you purchase one of these boxes and look inside, please send me an email and let me know what you find.)

I am still combing through the gang rape bill ("American Recovery and Reinvestment Act"). This is the same policy making blunders FDR used which prolonged the depression. I covered this in depth on my radio show; you can read about it here. This gigantic fraud contains a provision for doctors to enter your medical records into a giant electronic government data base at a cost of $10 - 12 BILLION dollars. Not mine. As soon as I find the exact language in the bill, I'm sending my primary care physician and the neurosurgeons who operated on my spine, notification that I forbid my medical records from being electronically entered into any government data bank. If this is mandatory, I intend to sue to stop it. The hell I'm going to have my personal information available for computer hackers (yes, they have hacked into the Pentagon and other "secure" computers) or for any government bureau-rat to take a peek.

Tenth Amendment resolutions by the states or "reclaiming sovereignty." Yes, this is great, but there is no teeth behind these resolutions. They are just more pretty words on a piece of paper. How many of these states who have proclaimed sovereignty are taking "stimulus" package money? How will they bite the hand that feeds them? Hmm? For those who might not know, there was a small movement like this back in the mid-90s and nothing ever came of it because the state legislatures always ended up caving into the federal machine for money.

Honest money bills have been introduced in several states. These must get passed and only a massive demand by the citizens of those states will get their the job done.

Congressman Ron Paul has reintroduced his bill to abolish the privately owned Federal Reserve. While some think the effort to abolish the FED only materialized during Ron Paul's run for the presidency last year, I can assure you, this has been a top priority for a long time. On September 29, 1993, my project delivered over 1.7 MILLION signatures to Congress to abolish the FED and it's evil twin, the IRS. Ron Paul's original bill, H.R. 2755 was introduced in June, 2007. Not a single cosponsor. His new bill is H.R. 833. It also has no cosponsors. That alone should tell you that Congress has no intention of implementing real solutions to our economic collapse.

Do NOT be fooled with the current bill in Congress to replace the IRS with a "fair" tax. This is another trap that must be rejected. Shame on these fools for introducing and sponsoring such poison. These alternative taxing schemes have been around since the late 50s. They are band aids that will keep the FED sucking the lifeblood of this country dry. Here is the right argument on taxes.

How can one fight so many different issues at once? I am a board member for the Committees of Safety. Our top issues: Honest money, securing our food supplies, protecting open commerce, vote fraud, constitutional homeland security and property rights. Numbers build power and all politics are local. Get involved. The police cannot protect you or your family. They arrive after the crime and crime will get worse as the middle class slides into poverty and the poor into destitution and homeless status: Growing List of Officials and Experts Warn of Depression-Induced Violence.

Tommy Cryer's organization, Truth Attack, is focused on the fraud being perpetrated by the IRS. That organization continues to grow and YOU can get involved. How bad do you want to see the IRS abolished? It will only happen when enough Americans get the truth and bury Congress in their own lies. Like ending prohibition, it takes numbers (not violence). You can get all the details here.

The gold rush continues as investors see disaster continue in the markets. I'm not a gold dealer. I don't sell precious metals. I don't know how Americans are sleeping at night. Baby boomers are seeing everything they've worked for going down the drain and are helpless to save their retirement funds [401(k)s] from being wiped out. Getting your money early gets you massive penalties by the Internal Robbing Service set into law by the "caring" Republicans and Democrats who toss around clever marketing jingo like 'Main Street not Wall Street.' Americans need to understand one thing: The glory days are over, period. The world's richest elite and those who fully understand the situation are buying gold like hot cakes. At least learn why it is the safe haven because hyper inflation is going to eat your "dollar" in the near future and it will take years, if not a full decade to bring things back around to something akin to restoring financial solvency.

I won't have a column on Thursday. I'm preparing my package for the U.S. Attorney in Austin, Texas, and four of my state legislators; will hand deliver them later this week. This requires days, not hours, putting together all the material. It's also a six hour drive each way from my home to the State Capitol. The package for the U.S. Attorney is on the impostor president, Obama. I want him investigated and indicted for wire fraud. The packages for my state legislators is on the sovereignty bill recently introduced here in Texas. Next week I will make the complete packages and all paper work available on line.

My mail box continues to fill up with requests for investigations and "Please cover this, Devvy." This is why I decided to do my own radio show. There simply is no way I can handle more an average of 20,000 emails per month. I'm booking guests and going over the assault on our republic and rights every night. I hope you will tune in to get the truth and facts as I cannot cover it all in two columns a week. Please do ask family, friends and colleagues to listen because my show is not about politics, it's about solutions. Identify your enemy, expose them and fight effectively. Not with political band aids, but with the very constitutional solutions that are already there.

My guest tonight is constitutional attorney, Larry Becraft. We are going to cover all these scams being promoted by shysters getting Americans into deep trouble. You don't want to miss this show.

AMERICA IS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT'S COMING

By Paul Proctor
February 25, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

There’s certainly a lot of fear, uncertainty and confusion in our world today, isn’t there? Many of us are just downright scared; but few are prepared for what surely lies ahead.

Recognizing storm clouds on the horizon really requires no discernment. Anyone with a TV can tell we’re in big trouble.

Oh, we can sit around and complain about all the bad news being reported and crave a more positive spin on it all – but really, that would just be living in denial, wouldn’t it? And, I don’t believe that’s the answer.

It seems to me that the vast majority of us find our solace these days in all the amusements our world has to offer as a means to evade and alleviate those fears and concerns – distractions and diversions, if you will – those who don’t just surrender themselves over to drink or drugs to manage the stress of it all.

Sadly, those amusements have become a staple in the Christian life too, as evidenced by all of the coffee shops, recreation centers, celebrity concerts and high-tech venues required now just to gather crowds and hold their attention at church. What does this say about the power of God to draw all men unto Himself? (John 12:32)

It says to me that today’s church no longer believes that Jesus is enough – that the Living Word of God can’t really compete in a sensory-driven world and that the Holy Spirit needs our help.

It’s not even enough to “tickle our ears” anymore. Now we need our eyes tickled, our noses tickled, our taste buds tickled and our funny bones tickled just to keep them coming back for more!

Is this what Jesus hung on a cross for – to see that His church could one day have the best evangetainment and facilities that money can buy?

Could this be what the Apostle Paul was referring to when he wrote to Timothy about those who had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof? (2nd Timothy 3:5)

Has the love of money so perverted the minds of Christians today that they can’t evangelize without it? Who needs the power of God when you’ve got the power of money? (1st Timothy 6:10)

Maybe this is why the economy is crashing to the ground – to remind us, yet again, that man cannot live by bread and circus alone – that he needs the power of God in Jesus Christ to put his fears to rest, find forgiveness and peace with Him and have eternal life in a kingdom not of this world.

Preparation for what’s coming begins on one’s knees in humility, confession and prayer.

“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” – 1st John 2:17

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: GLOBAL ECONOMICS
PART 2

Where’s the Hope in 2009?

At a Bilderberg Conference in Evian, France (1991), Dr. Henry Kissinger opined: “The one thing man fears is the unknown.” For that reason alone, who wouldn’t want a hopeful glimpse into the future? While enduring our nation’s “economic Valley Forge,” folks hunger for any morsel of hope life can deliver.

Thankfully, the Bible answers humanity’s age-abiding question, “What does the future hold?” Willing believers may fearlessly participate in what promises to be a preface to the wrap-up of history—but certainly not without its woes.

While God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly before Him, it remains His prerogative when to give and when to take away. Speaking of the latter, it seems that the gravy train has jumped track. The daily average of 1,000 home foreclosures in the Great Depression (1933) dwarfs when compared to today’s 3,100 daily foreclosures—in California alone. For all too many, the American Dream has morphed into a dreadful nightmare.

Is it any wonder? Americans have indulged an orgy of unrestrained consumerism that threatens to gobble up their futures (and their children’s). Even a segment of the Christian church—i.e., Laodicea—finds itself increased with goods of the global economy and seemingly in need of nothing, but wrongly so.

Our Constitution allows that I may own what is mine, and you may own what is yours; and we may be at peace with one another. However, emerging “self-evident truths” revere instead a system of taxpayer aid that is serving to eradicate the capitalistic ownership society for which our nation is rightfully known.

Government to the Rescue!

Author Cass R. Sunstein argues for a second Bill of Rights to guarantee for all Americans a broad range of government-granted economic rights—but without regard for the failings of generous welfare states in Western Europe.

Notwithstanding, as Obama has pointed out, sacrifice for Americans is “a daily, more mundane experience, taken on by men and women obscure in their labor.” Such sacrifice we can believe in. In his view, we must re-envision the American Dream and thereby remake America by cultivating “a way of life that recognizes our planetary interdependence.”

Simply put, a fundamental shift is inevitable. With great passion, civil society demands that interdependent economic justice be administered globally. That being said, the ancient statesman, Daniel, prophesied of a future world authority that will “divide the land for gain”—this is, redistribute wealth and, thus, control global citizens.

If you can’t accept Bible wisdom regarding global governance and world socialism, then turn your attention to Ayn Rand. Having grown up under communism in Soviet Russia, Rand gained invaluable insights into the perils of socialism and totalitarianism. Her 1957, 1,000-page novel, Atlas Shrugged, foresaw our nation’s making the same politically expedient mistakes under big government run amok. Reading like today’s newspaper, Rand’s classic work issues timely warning that—when profits, wealth and creativity are denigrated—they can’t help but disappear, leaving everyone the poorer.

Thumbs Down: Capitalism

A fanatical proponent of free trade, FedEx’s CEO Fred Smith attributes today’s financial crisis to “the intersection of four long-term developments”: reckless mortgage lending policies; high energy prices; mark-to-market accounting rules; and national policies that favor “the financial sector over the industrial sector.” Somehow we have forgotten that the true heroes of the U.S. economy are companies and individuals who produce tangible goods and services—not get-rich-quick Wall Street financiers.

Professor Burton Folsom, Jr. at Hillsdale College reminds us of lessons learned in the 1920s. Cutting tax rates (minus gravy train bail-outs) is what encouraged profitable and creative entrepreneurship, thus supplying us with Kleenex tissues, the zipper, air conditioning and Scotch tape, to name but a few goodies. No central planning board could ever have invented any one of these products, nor could it have marketed them as effectively as did resourceful, hard-working industrialists.

Even so, wealth is best seen as a gift from God. It cannot be over emphasized that, in order to function, capitalism necessitates the exercise of integrity. Accrued wealth springs from honorable innovation, invention and entrepreneurship—not from government. Nevertheless, Obama’s 83-page Blueprint for Change calls for vast expansion of federal government.

From the perspective of Georgia Congressman Paul Broun, the Blueprint is an obvious call for socialism in the U.S. Indeed, Obama is on record as regretting that Supreme Court decisions have not been radical enough to order redistribution of wealth—this, under the guise of adjusting failed distribution to the wealthy (Phyllis Schlafly Report, December 2008).

“Setting Aside Childish Things”

In the wake of the U.S. banking crisis (autumn 2008), France’s President and Germany’s finance minister, Nicolas Sarkozy and Peer Steinbrueck respectively, agreed that “the Anglo-Saxon capitalist system” had run its course. To end the folly of that post-war, U.S.-dominated, but “finished” system, new global banking rules are warranted (Edward Cody of the Washington Post. “Laissez-faire Finished” [Seattle: The Seattle Times, 26 September 2008], A9).

In the words of syndicated columnist David Sirota, “21st-century socialists propose giving financial-industry con men the national credit card, confirming Marx’s theory that history repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce”. In Sirota’s view, America’s brand of socialism is decidedly “kleptocratic” (www.credoaction.com/sirota).

“Setting aside childish things,” Obama’s America is being groomed to welcome shift from a way of life that allegedly “will only ruin us in the end.” Reeling with incredulity from our nation’s $10 trillion-dollar hangover, potential capitalists are looking to flip from free markets to Euro-socialism.

No wonder Prairie Home Companion’s own Garrison Keillor asserts that “even if you worship in the church of Fox, everyone you meet overseas is going to ask you about Obama. You may as well say you voted for him because, my friends, he is your line of credit over there."

Obama offers “an audacious signal of hope” for the dangerous year 2009. This he is expected to convey at an April gathering in London where twenty industrialized and developing nations, consisting of nineteen countries and a European Union representative (the G20), will meet.

Feeding Frenzy

To survive the Asian financial crises in the late 1990s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) pledged $20 billion to South Korea. One of the conditions was that the government would allow collapse of failing banks and businesses. No bail-outs.

In contrast, America rewards incompetency with commensurate handouts. Giving away money in the form of handouts and bailouts to favored constituencies requires money to be printed (root cause of inflation) or to be borrowed, likely from China at compounding interest. Should the Chinese start pulling their billions out of our nation’s system, our do-gooder impulses will be buried in the rubbish of good intentions.

So great is today’s feeding frenzy that web sites and phone systems commonly used to file for benefits are being tested as never before. Over the last few weeks, California has seen a record number of calls, and web sites in three states have crashed under the load (The Associated Press, 7 January 2009).

Point of No Return

It’s been said that capitalism destroyed communism, and now it’s destroying democracy. Even before Democrats registered their biggest presidential triumph since 1964, leading American financial historian Ron Chernow believes that government already had passed the point of no return.

It would seem that, under Bush’s watch, the U.S. political system was created to “protect the minority of the opulent against the majority” (Noam Chomsky). Chernow complains that, “we [had] the irony of a free-market administration doing things that the most liberal Democratic administration would never have been doing in its wildest dreams.”

According to the New York Times, even big-government advocates stand amazed that federal officials are willing to print as much money as needed to build what is tantamount to a second story on the nation’s doomed financial house of cards. Problem is, “bad character leads to bad economics, which is bad for liberty.” Simple as that (Lawrence W. Reed, THE FREEMAN: “Ideas on Liberty,” 2008).

All We Need is Love; Love is All We Need

FDR once referenced a cleric’s comment that resonates today: “We talk of the stabilization of business. What we need is the stabilization of human justice and happiness.” Okay, but in the real world “power concedes nothing without a demand” (Federick Douglass); and “we are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money (Arthur Schlesinger Jr. in the CFR journal, Foreign Affairs, August 1975).

Political author and campaign consultant Dick Morris has coined the term "depressflation" to describe imminent, unavoidable outcome of our new administration’s plans for rescuing the economy. In the hope of stabilizing human justice and happiness, what America really faces is massive inflation coupled with depression-like stagnation.

In fact, a couple months ago, a respected group of mostly European economic and financial analysts (called LEAP 2020) warned that the U.S. government will default some time in 2009; and these have been dead right in other forecasts issued the last two years (Gary Kah, international business/ government liaison).

Thumbs Up: Socialism

Senior economics writer for The Wall Street Journal editorial page, Stephen Moore maintains that politicians invariably create and then respond to crises by generating further government programs, laws and regulations which, in turn, spawn added havoc and poverty.

The precedence is set. A product of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), the WTO is all about central control of world markets. Locking nations into regulations that exceed authority of their own constitutions, the WTO is a supra-national body in Geneva that governs global trade. In setting, managing and enforcing WTO-made rules, it often rules against the U.S.

This encourages politicians to create even more programs; hence, a downward spiral recurs. In the end, productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.

Obama’s Ideological Mandate

Socialism may seem new, but it isn’t. By World War I, intellectuals in particular embraced the notion of paternalistic government. As a result, welfare-statist interventionism began to supplant an earlier, comparatively free market environment. Presently, the federal government is perhaps our only growth industry (Seattle Times staff columnist Danny Westneat).

As noted by Deepak Bhargava from the Center for Community Change, “Obama’s win was an ideological mandate presenting an opening for transformational, progressive change” as reflected in the Canadian economy. Americans favor Social Security and Medicare; however, following Canada’s model means more unions, more subsidies, more central planning and (last but not least) heavier taxation.

Back-Door Socialism

Author-CEO of Strategic Forecasting, Inc., Dr. George Friedman knows well (and therefore hates) Marxist political theory. However, because patterns for paradigm shift already are firmly in place, this political conservative is unfazed by Obama’s win.

As was the case when Franklin Roosevelt was sent to Congress in 1944, Obama mandates a new Bill of Rights for academia, victims—and patients. Executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Jane M. Orient, M.D., reminds us that Lenin dubbed medicine the “keystone in the arch of socialism”—which, Orient warns, comes through the back door by means of universal health care.

Because folks are forced to pay for health care on the basis of income, socialized medicine à la universal health care, as in Canada, effectively redistributes wealth. If you believe Joe the Plumber, this is what Obama is all about.

He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands

A newly advanced vulnerability fund managed by the World Bank with the U.N. and regional development banks promises to deliver aid to Haiti, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and the like. After all, poor people in Africa mustn’t pay the price for a crisis originated in the U.S. (Zoellick, Robert B., President of the World Bank. Copyright 2009, The New York Times).

Through the so-called vulnerability fund, America is offering its economic house of cards as a stimulus package of sorts for the whole world. The strategy to spend, spend, spend our way out of crisis in a climate similar to that of post-nine-eleven has “epic mistake” written all over it, despite benevolent-sounding agendas, as this.

Another example, the so-called American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan promises to increase the federal budget by an additional $1 trillion in Obama’s first 100 days in office. Mind you, this is a budget already expanded by $1.5 trillion the previous eight years under George W. Bush; and financier George Soros has warned of “$45 trillion esoteric instruments of unregulated credit default swaps” sloshing around the global financial system. Not a pretty picture.

Regional Economic Partnership

Nor is this: 2009 promises escalation of incremental steps that systematically chip away at national sovereignty and private property rights one treaty, conference and U.N. commission at a time. With no Congressional oversight and no signed agreements, our nation’s merged future with Canada and Mexico allows freer flow of people, goods and capital under joint military command supported by a tri-national data base.

Officially under the Department of Commerce, the Security and Prosperity Partnership was created at a summit in Waco (March 2005) and thereafter affirmed in Cancun (March 2006). Consequently, a planned ten-lane international corridor will be the first leg of what has been dubbed the NAFTA Super Highway. By 2010, biometric identifiers will facilitate even freer passage throughout our region.

Where’s the Hope?

If a crippled, bio-regionally defined, one-world economic system characterizes 2009, as it surely does, where’s hope to be found? The fact remains: No matter the quality of life enjoyed or tolerated, as the case may be, everyone needs money to trade for required goods and services. Despite the need, those rendered righteous in Christ won’t be found “begging bread.” Even so, most Christians experience, as did the apostle Paul, abounding and abasing, being full and being hungry. But God’s love and valuation of them never vacillates with life’s variable circumstances.

Fittingly, author David Bryant has issued a joyful manifesto on the supremacy of God’s son. In it, he reminds believers that “heaven’s temporal signs and wonders are meant to [make] us hungry for even more of Christ’s glory up ahead.” That said, may America’s feeding frenzy throughout 2009 bypass Big Brother for the Father through His son, consummate Hope of the Ages.

BAILOUTS, STIMULUS PACKAGES OR REDISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS?
PART 1 of 2

On February 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg appeared before the U.S. Senate and declared: “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”[1] To establish a world government, it is necessary to incrementally eradicate the constitution, bring the U.S. to her knees economically, and shackle the taxpayers to perpetual debt through bailouts and stimulus packages funded by printing billions of dollars of interest and debt-bearing Federal Reserve Notes to drastically devalue the currency in circulation thus impoverishing the taxpayers. The only benefactors are the extant banks, certain corporations and the individuals who concocted the financial disaster.

The colonists issued debt-free script in the 1700s commensurate to the demands of trade and industry. The citizens were self-sufficient and industrious. Incensed over the currency issue, England burdened the colonists with excess taxes to fund Britain’s imperialistic wars. This precipitated the Revolutionary War. Alexander Hamilton, a Rothschild agent, convinced George Washington to allow the Rothschilds to finance the war. In 1791, with a big war debt to be paid, Hamilton set up a central bank, owned by the Rothschilds and other foreigners called the First Bank of the United States with a twenty-year charter.[2]

Congress rejected renewal of the charter and the bank was closed on March 4, 1811. Nathan Rothschild was outraged and asked the British Parliament to declare war to reinstate the bank. The Prime Minister refused and was assassinated on May 11, 1812. Parliament declared war on June 18, 1812. British troops burned the White House and other government buildings including the one that housed the ratification papers for the U.S. constitution. The war increased our national debt from $45 million to $127 million.[3] President Madison proposed the establishment of a second central bank on December 5, 1815 for a twenty year period. It was created by Congress on January 7, 1817. Nicholas Biddle, a Rothschild protégé, became the bank’s president in 1822. President Andrew Jackson refused to renew the charter in 1836, as promised during his presidential campaign.

In opposition to the international bankers, Abraham Lincoln issued debt-free, interest-free greenbacks through the Legal Tender Act of February 25, 1862. This currency funded the Civil War, a horrific, bloody battle that took the lives of over 600,000 souls and was devised to weaken and divide the country. The privately-owned Bank of England planned to impose a gold standard on the United States. Lincoln was soon assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a Rothschild agent. No debt-free or interest-free money has been issued in America since then.

J. P. Morgan & Company was founded in New York City in 1871 as Drexel, Morgan & Company by J. Pierpont Morgan and Philadelphia banker Anthony Drexel, agents for Europeans investing in the United States. Ultimately, they were so well capitalized that they financed much of America’s industrial expansion. By the 1890s, Morgan became an industry consolidator, reorganizing and restructuring the debts of financially troubled railroads – the Northern Pacific, the Erie, the Reading and many other railroads for a total of one-sixth of the track in the U.S. Morgan financed and merged smaller companies to create U.S. Steel, International Harvester and others. A decline in competition results in a concentration of control. In 1904, J. P. Morgan & Company loaned money to finance the Panama Canal, the largest real estate transaction in history. J. P. Morgan & Company became the world’s most powerful investment bank.

J. P. Morgan loaned money to Thomas Edison for his incandescent light research and therefore directed Edison's power generation and distribution plants. Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 – January 7, 1943), a Serbian who later became a U.S. citizen, was fluent in seven languages. He patented the radio on March 20, 1900, a patent usurped and used by Marconi. Tesla needed the financing that the House of Morgan offered but wishing to retain independence, he resisted the accompanying control. He had witnessed the robber baron’s 1891 aggressive takeover of the struggling Thomson-Houston Company and the Edison Company to form General Electric.[4]

Tesla had also witnessed how Morgan coveted and endangered the autonomy of Westinghouse. Morgan wanted Tesla to sign over his broad spectrum radio patents as security for the loans. Tesla had plans for a directed-energy weapon, not yet patented. Tesla proposed an end to all war. Tesla’s alternating current induction motor could have provided free, world-wide electricity to every human. Undoubtedly, Morgan, making huge profits from energy, wished to conceal that possibility. German born George H. Scherff Sr. served as Tesla’s accountant and assistant. When Tesla died, his vast collection of papers were seized and classified by the banker-obedient government.[5]

By the turn of the century, Americans paid very few taxes, had minimal debt and grew their businesses internally – without bank loans. However, by 1910, there were, throughout the country, a combination of over twenty thousand private banks and national banks, chartered by the federal government, all taking business away from the big New York City banks. Legally, banks were allowed to issue currency or bank notes. Since they operated on a fractional reserve system, they could lend out 90 percent of their deposits. This system is manageable unless demands for cash in the form of checks or depositor withdrawals are greater than their reserve cash. Many of those banks failed in orchestrated financial panics. Those remaining would be coerced to join the Federal Reserve System, soon to be established, where their reserves would be managed and controlled by a small, highly competitive, greedy group.

In the fall of 1910, six influential competitor bankers and one well-connected congressman, Republican Senator Nelson Aldrich, stealthily collaborated at Jekyll Island to plot the establishment of a shared monopoly, the Federal Reserve System. The bankers represented the interests of J. P. Morgan, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg, and Kuhn, Loeb & Company. Consequently, legislation was passed to create the Federal Reserve System in 1913, the culmination of decades of plotting by the international bankers. Under the jurisdiction of a board of directors, the U.S. was divided into twelve Federal Reserve Districts. Americans were led to believe that the Fed would eliminate financial catastrophes and stabilize the economy. In reality, the Fed is a cartel that was designed to obliterate competition and increase profits through higher prices and deceptive policies enforced by the government.

J. P. Morgan arranged the financing and purchasing of American supplies for France and Britain during World War I. By the end of that war, J. P. Morgan Bank had handled $3 billion in commercial transactions, netting $3 million in fees, and had arranged over $1.5 billion in credits to become the world’s most influential bank, moving it permanently into the political arena of foreign policy, serving as an extension of the federal government.[6]

In 1901, the U.S. national debt was less than $1 billion. After World War I, the national debt was $25 billion. Between World War I and II, it increased to $49 billion. In 1952, in the midst of the Korean War, under U.N. command, the debt stood at $72 billion. In 1962, the debt was $303 billion which increased to $383 billion by 1970 during the Vietnam War. By 1976, at the end of the Vietnam War, it was $631 billion. During the 1980s and the orchestrated Cold War military buildup, the debt increased substantially. The international bankers funded both the U.S. and the Soviet military buildup. However, all records evidencing congressional acquiescence to the massive banker-funded technological transfer from 1916 forward were classified by Eisenhower’s executive order in 1953.[7] By 1998, the debt was over $5.5 trillion. Now, the national debt is well over $10.8 trillion. This does not include personal indebtedness such as credit cards, car loans or mortgages.

By the 1920s, banks routinely offered low-interest credit to businesses that had previously relied on profits and patience for expansion. Soon, businesses, eager for additional profit accepted the deceptively low-interest loans offered by the banks. Once hooked, businesses became dependant on banks for growth. To maintain perceptions beneficial to their objectives, bankers have always entrenched like-minded minions into influential positions such as newspaper publishers, editors, columnists, university presidents, professors, textbook writers, labor union leaders, filmmakers, and radio and television commentators.

Even after the deliberate New York Panic of 1920-21, America was still industrially strong. Farms provided adequate and toxin-free, un-genetically modified food. Our infrastructure and transportation systems were then modern and efficient and we were technologically advanced compared to the rest of the world. In 1921, U.S. per capita income was $522. In 1925, Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, wanting England to return to world leadership, adjusted the British pound to $4.86 which limited the amount of British goods companies and individuals around the world could afford. Consequently, over the next two years, hundreds of millions of dollars of gold flowed to the U.S. from all over Europe.[8]

Montague Norman of the Bank of England, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, Hjalmer Scacht of the Reichsbank, Benjamin Strong of the Federal Reserve, all privately-owned central banks, and Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury convened in 1927 and agreed to lower U.S. interest rates and the Fed’s discount rate. Additionally, in July, 1927, the directors of the Bank of England, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and the German Reichsbank plotted to move the gold out of the U.S. Allegedly, this helped to generate the depression. By 1928, about $500 million in gold was transferred to Europe, especially Germany, most under the guise of post-war aid.

By 1928, U.S. per capita income grew to $628. Winston Churchill, Benjamin Strong, the New York Federal Reserve chief and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon operated together to ensure that easy money for Wall Street speculation was readily available.

Newspaper and magazine articles promoted stock market speculation claiming that one could make a veritable fortune in a short time for minimum monthly investments. However, there were “special” speculators who owned dozens of accounts in various names which could be traded in enormous blocks. Small investors, never in a position to manipulate the market, suffered the consequences and received the blame for the 1929 crash. Blame for every catastrophe is always placed elsewhere.

Since Woodrow Wilson, the Fed has installed and managed many U.S. presidents. On October 25, 1929, President Herbert Hoover claimed: “The fundamental business of the country is on a sound and prosperous basis.” The crash of October 28-29, 1929 was devised. On November 8, 2002, current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said: “Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.”[9]

In 1929-1930, the banks, purportedly because they were short on gold, would not give loans to U.S. industry and individuals. Yet, three banks, J. P. Morgan & Company, First National Bank of New York and First National Bank of Chicago, had sufficient money to send huge amounts out of the country to the Bank of International Settlements which ultimately built up Nazi Germany. The money supply was deliberately decreased, causing the Great Depression. People defaulted on their loans and the banks repossessed farms, homes and business properties. People lost their savings – everything. The banks benefited. It was an unethical, egregious redistribution of assets. The catastrophic crash was world-wide, creating joblessness, hunger, disintegration of production and national bankruptcies.

On March 7, 1930, Hoover said: “All the evidence indicates that the worst effects of the Crash upon unemployment will have passed during the next sixty days.” He then signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act against the advice of the thousand economists hired by Wall Street manipulators who were most concerned about repayment of their foreign loans. In September 1930, Bernard Baruch, after returning from a visit to Churchill in England, sent a cable affirming Churchill’s views about British world supremacy. On December 11, 1930, New York’s fourth largest bank, Bank of the United States, failed. Its 450,000 depositors had no recourse and no FDIC insurance. Another one thousand banks failed in 1930.[10] Bank failures signal bank consolidation – extant banks consume them.

The entire national debt in 1932 was $19.5 billion. Roosevelt then initiated the New Deal in 1933 by introducing the practice of deficit spending, which was the brain-child of Britain’s John Maynard Keynes, a member of the Illuminati. In 1910, Lenin said: “The surest way to overthrow an established social order is to debauch its currency.” Nine years later, Keynes wrote: “Lenin was certainly right, there is no more positive, or subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency ... The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”[11]

On March 9, 1933, Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260 which declared that the U.S. was bankrupt. On April 5, 1933, Roosevelt declared a National Emergency and made it illegal for U.S. citizens to own gold. He ordered all gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates to be turned into the Federal Reserve banks by May 1 (the Illuminati was created on May 1, 1776). People would face imprisonment and fines if they refused to relinquish their gold. Further, on June 5, 1933, Congress enacted a joint resolution outlawing all gold clauses in contracts. The Federal Reserve System was not energized until 1933 when the U.S. went off the gold standard which allowed the expansion and devaluation of the money supply. The Federal Reserve collects usury on every bill printed. “Our currency has no value past the confidence of those who use it.”[12]

Gold coinage was withdrawn from circulation, and kept in the form of bullion. The public and the Federal Reserve returned their stocks of gold to the government. The people were paid $20.67 an ounce in Federal Reserve money. The Federal Reserve received Gold Certificates. So the Federal Reserve, owned by some Illuminati families, had control of the country’s gold and could control its price. The stability and responsibility of the government that issues a currency is the primary reason people accept that currency. Obviously, the collapse of that government would render the currency worthless. For part two click below.

Unconstrained, the bankers have financed all of the profit-producing, declared and undeclared wars. The U.S. government alleged that the Second World War was caused by obstacles to free trade, exacerbated by the financial events of 1929 manifested in Nazi fascism and responsible for the tensions that led to the Second World War. As a consequence of their questionable theory, the conditions of receiving American economic aid included the implementation of a free trade policy. Free trade policies, like central banks, only assist the bankers and the corporations who exploit cheap labor in third world countries.

World War II ended the depression. There was plenty of money. People had jobs. Women were encouraged to work – more money to service the interest payments to the Federal Reserve. Shuffling women into the workplace was really never about equal rights and opportunities, despite the rhetoric. Bankers serve on corporate boards and control corporate decisions. They depress or increase corporate stock by leveraging loans. When stock prices are depressed, bankers' agents purchase large blocks of the company's stock. The bank may then approve a multi-million dollar loan to the company which increases the stock which can be sold at a profit. Billions are accrued, enabling the purchase of additional stock. The Federal Reserve Board manipulates the market by increasing or decreasing their discount rates. Stocks soar or crash at their whim, sustained by economic experts who manipulate public opinion.

The Fed can also coerce corporations to borrow huge sums so that earnings can be siphoned off to pay the interest to the banks, reducing actual profits. Banks may collect billions in interest through corporate loans even with depressed stock prices. The bankers benefit while individual stockholders suffer. New money or credit carries debt, keeping most citizens in a never-ending cycle of debt. Dumping more money into the system, which bailouts and stimulus packages do, devalues the money already in circulation which escalates the prices of basic commodities, usually without comparable wage increases. Compound interest on mortgages and other items produces massive profits for the banks. Over the term of a mortgage, a house ultimately costs as much as three homes. With numerous taxes attached to products and services, plundered Americans are drowning in debt. If you think you are off the hook because you have paid off your mortgage, just fail to pay property taxes and see how fast the government seizes your house. We have been transformed from a debt-free nation into a debt-ridden nation.

Since 1935, the one dollar Federal Reserve Note has had the Illuminati all-seeing eye within the Great Seal. At the base of the pyramid is Roman numerals 1776, the year the Illuminati was founded. One dollar bills were printed as Federal Reserve Notes beginning in 1963. The phrase “In God We Trust” was added in 1957. Considering the enslaving amount of usury that we pay, totally eschewed by Jesus, the Fed’s use of that statement on their notes appears to be an ironic hoax on the Christian citizens of this country. The Power Elite enjoy concealing their nefarious agenda in plain sight. Under the pyramid are the Latin words – “Nova Ordo Seclorum” which means “a new order of the ages” or “new order of the centuries.” The words “Annuit Coeptis” are above the eye which means “he looks upon your endeavors favorably.” Who would that be? Some suggest that it represents Osiris, Egypt’s pagan god.[1]

In 1958, Chase Manhattan Bank introduced the Chase Manhattan Charge Plan, the first bank in the nation to offer customers a convenient, immediate gratification interest-bearing credit card. Consumer credit, encouraged by constant tantalizing media advertising, has sky-rocketed. Recently, big pharma started advertising their consistently inadequately tested, questionably-safe products. If your doctor fails to prescribe their latest miracle cure or vaccines for every minor malady, just ask for the product or injection and hope that the side effects don’t permanently harm or kill you.

On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110 which directed the U.S. Treasury to issue $4,292,893,815 in interest-free U.S. Notes. On October 2, 1963, he issued NSAM 263, an order for the immediate withdrawal of 1,000 U.S. military advisors from Vietnam and a timetable for the withdrawal of all CIA operatives and U.S. personnel. This would have ended the steady stream of profits to the banks. He was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

Government bailouts started in 1970 with the bailout of Penn Central which had 96,000 employees and had borrowed from most of the major banks. Additionally, those same banks held stock in the railroad and seats on their board of directors. They made many of the management decisions and were privy to insider financial information. The banks loaned the railroad more money – millions that were used to artificially inflate the stock market price and pay dividends. A month before the railroad failed and before the public was notified, Chase Manhattan’s trust department dumped 262,000 shares. The bevy of bankers who held the loans had received dividends on the worthless stock, earned interest on the loans and unloaded a total of 1.8 million share of stock after they collected the dividends.[2]

Lockheed was near bankruptcy in 1970. Bank of America had loaned them $400 million. Lockheed’s managers and employees approached congress with pleas – 31,000 jobs would be lost, national security would be at risk, sub contractors and suppliers would be hurt. Banks, due to Lockheed’s dire financial straits, would not make any further loans. Allegedly, to protect the economy, Treasury Secretary John B. Connally finagled a bailout plan guaranteed by the government (taxpayer). Once the government stepped in, the banks freely loaned Lockheed money. Ultimately, the government awarded hundreds of no-bid contracts to Lockheed which has become one of the nation’s biggest war contractors. Other similar companies who operated more efficiently lost contracts to Lockheed.[3]

Connally, a former big oil lawyer turned Texas governor, was riding in John F. Kennedy’s limousine in the motorcade and witnessed the president’s assassination.
Connally encouraged Johnson to be aggressive in accelerating and executing the war in Vietnam. When Connally was Treasury Secretary under Nixon, he oversaw a $50 billion increase in the debt limit. Additionally, he endorsed a $40 billion budget deficit referred to as a “fiscal stimulus.” At the time, five million Americans were unemployed. Secretary Connally announced Nixon’s program to increase gold prices and officially devalue the dollar. During Nixon’s administration, the U.S. was taken off the gold standard completely, a process started by Roosevelt.

Then there was the bailout of New York City, a city overflowing with corruption and a burgeoning bureaucracy. In 1975, New York, a huge welfare state, was unable to get additional credit. New York City employees, otherwise known as friends and relatives, were paid huge salaries for lower-paying comparable jobs in private industry. The city managed to get a loan from the Treasury for $2.3 billion, approved by Congress. It was enough to continue paying interest on their previous bank loans. The taxpayers suffered the consequences through massive inflation. But the banks collected their interest, a huge source of income. New York was supposed to make changes and reduce spending. That didn’t happen.[4] Chicago, with their glut of relative and friend employees, is in similar circumstances. But Mayor Daley manages to stealthily sell public property. Recently, it was the city’s parking meters. Now, in addition to inflation, citizens pay outrageous fees to park in the city which affects business. Before that, it was the famous Skyway.

Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor was arrested December 9, 2008, the day after he publicly declared that the state of Illinois would suspend all business dealings with the Bank of America, the recipient of a $25 million bailout, until it restored a credit line to Republic Windows & Doors which, without credit, was forced to close and lay off their 240 employees. The governor apparently forgot who really runs everything. His indiscretions, attributable to every other professional politician, went unnoticed until he challenged the banks. Goldman Sachs, another bailout recipient, used $6.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars to give bonuses to their financial staff.

Banks create money with a computer keystroke. The money changers can print a $5 bill or a $100 bill for a few cents each. The Federal Reserve prints money to pay the obligations of the metastasizing government. Congress authorizes the Treasury Department to print U.S. bonds, held by the Federal Reserve which the government agrees to pay it back, plus interest, by plundering the labor of the taxpayers. The Fed now considers those bonds as assets, reserves to create more credit to lend to states, municipalities, individuals and businesses. Currently, banks give credit for home purchases, cars and other commodities that people used to save for. U.S. citizens depend on consumer and business credit. When that credit is arbitrarily withheld or withdrawn, industry and spending comes to a halt.

The Federal Reserve is the power behind the recently inaugurated, smooth-talking, charismatic Barack Obama who is overly-anxious to impose government control and dispense bailouts through the Stimulus Package. Through wealth transference and suppressive legislation designed to decrease liberty, each consecutive administration moves America closer to economic collapse and one world governance. Bush coerced passage of the PATRIOT Act (written long before 9/11 and unread by Congress), facilitated the Department of Homeland Security, increased the number of FEMA detention centers, allowed unrestrained illegal invasion to drain state economies (especially California), and incited invasive economy-destroying war against two countries which do not have central banks with debt-based money under the control of the international bankers. Arabs do not believe in charging or paying usury (interest on loans). By the end of 2008, the U.S. had spent $3 trillion on the Iraq War, borrowed from the Fed with interest.

With Obama, citizens will likely be disarmed, in direct violation of the 2nd Amendment, created for citizens to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. We will finally get Hillary Clinton’s universal health care. Big pharma, run in concert with big banks and insurance companies, the main benefactors. The government will make all health decisions – who lives, who dies, how many children one may bare, etc. Natural solutions for health care may be outlawed. Warfare will continue as demonstrated by the very recent deployment of 17,000 troops to Afghanistan. This, despite those campaign promises about reducing the troops. Warfare, a huge drain on our economy and a financial boon for the Fed, will continue. Troop numbers are being augmented by waiving criminal histories of those who enlist simply because they are unable to find work. The economy will ultimately bleed-out resulting in riots, food shortages and eventually martial law and perhaps mass detention.

The recent bailouts and the current stimulus package, disguised as assistance to the populace, is a huge transference of wealth – from the taxpayer’s pockets into the banker’s pockets. Any promised infrastructure enhancements may consist of such things as the completion of the unpublicized NAFTA super highway to connect Canada, the United States and Mexico. While in Denver signing the Stimulus Package, Obama said: “We will build on the work that’s being done in places like Boulder, Colorado – a community that is on pace to be the world’s first Smart Grid city.”[5] This appears to refer to an Agenda 21 program being initiated in Boulder by Xcel Energy.

Senators disregarded the taxpayer’s pleas to reject the socialist Stimulus Package. The taxpayers, stuck with the tab, are outraged. Democratic senators, including the newly-installed Roland Burris, voted for the stimulus. Burris is now under criminal investigation for his duplicitous involvement with Rod Blagojevich’s brother regarding questionable fundraising. This issue was concealed until after his guaranteed vote. Concealment of significant facts seems common with the incoming administration and its appointments. Apologies that follow embarrassing exposures somehow seem insincere.

The outrageous, squealing, pork-filled stimulus plan was designed to benefit the bankers and bleed America dry. The 1000+ page package was certainly written months ago. Pelosi, who recently claimed that America was losing 500 million jobs a month, lacks the intelligence to devise anything more that a one page yes-memo to the bankers that finance her repetitive campaigns. Congress, with few exceptions, have not represented the voters for decades. They are agents for the banks and corporations while paying lip service to their constituents during election campaigns. They profess concern for the voter’s essential needs and pass measures that appear to address those needs which in reality expand the coffers of big business and the banks. Meanwhile, members of congress collect generous salaries with regular self-approved pay increases, lobbyist perks, private health plans, and look forward to a life-long, non-Social-Security pension.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) said in her book Atlas Shrugged: “When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.”

Banks and corporations run a centralized, metastasizing entity, disguised as the federal government. Their objectives are promoting war while financing both sides, confiscating people's money and resources, and propagandizing the naïve masses to maintain and perpetuate their power. Our two main political parties are their servants, government departments are the spending agencies, and the Internal Revenue Service, a private offshore corporation is the collection agency.

Thomas Jefferson said: “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, 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. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” For part one click below.

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN
By Mary Starrett
February 22, 2009

Bystanders in devastated areas who watch looters helping themselves to TVs and tennis shoes more often than not wind up rushing away with goods they have no business taking, reasoning that they might as well.

The mob rushes in for their “share” of the merchandise believing on some level they have a right to get theirs.

In the frenzy, rightful ownership ceases to mean anything and greed overtakes all rational thoughts about whose property is being hauled off. After all, somebody’s going to get it anyway.

As the ink dried on the massive spending ‘Stimulus’ bill politicians in states across America rubbed their hands together as visions of pork danced in their heads.

But not all elected officials rushed in to join the looters, showing that yes, America, at least at first blush, it appears there are still statesman in office. A courageous handful of governors stood up to the looters and those who engineered the smash and grab and said “Not so fast.”

Governors of Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina and Idaho have all made noises that they’re at least thinking about not joining in looting the $787 billion just sitting there amid all the broken glass.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said, "We'll have to review each program, each new dollar to make sure that we understand what are the conditions, what are the strings and see whether it's beneficial for Louisiana to use those dollars.”

That statement shows Governor Jindal has at least considered putting principle over expediency. It’s a bold move for the head of a state reeling from a projected $2 billion dollar budget shortfall, high unemployment and record foreclosures. After all, we’re talking about a $4 billion handout from D.C..

In contrast, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said he’d be happy to cart off Louisiana’s share of the unclaimed booty if Jindal wanted to fork over the state’s “share.”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said, "My concern is … commitments attached to it that are a mile long.”

However, Perry’s not all that concerned about the strings the feds will attach because he added,. "We need the freedom to pick and choose.”

While these Republican governors have been roundly criticized for taking an ideological stand on the handout, their concerns will likely not amount to a hill of pork rinds. In the Stimulus bill is a provision that anticipates opposition and heads off at the pass any possibility that the money won’t be doled out.

In a move which can only be described as calculated political malevolence, there’s actually a clause in the bill to ensure that state legislatures get to override any balking governors.

At any rate, we need to ask just how far we’d go to remain stalwart on principle. Like finding a $100 bill lying on the floor of restaurant, do you pick it up and turn it over to management or do you take the money and run?

When all is said and done, the $787 billion dollar stimulus bill will actually wind up costing more like $3.25 trillion. That’s because the new programs called for in the bill will not be temporary stopgap measures tailored for an economic “jumpstart.” No, they’ll be around forever, or as long as the Republicans and Democrats are in power to fund the perpetual insanity they have both presided over for decades.

Perhaps the Republican governors who today are making what appear to be statements of principle about the folly of this socialist manifesto will tomorrow recant and cave in. But, for those of us who honestly believe we cannot spend our way out of debt, these gubernatorial mutterings soothe like balm.

Unfortunately, far too many Americans have come to believe that there’s no better balm than pork grease.
