I am getting so sick and tired of the world of lies we live in. At the root of America’s problem is the Federal Reserve (the real enemy), it’s criminal existence and conception. Last night, I watched the most ridiculous debate between two prolific liars I have ever seen in my entire life – the media and American citizens continue arguing over who won. Neither Obama or McCain won the debate, but there was a loser: America and it’s citizens.
These two ignoramus boneheads are on the campaign trail giving speeches on health care. Hello…wake up! America is broke! Why can’t either of them tell the truth? They are planning tax cuts, new federal spending, a ton of new government plans and endless spending. All of their promises are lies. Here’s the truth I’d like to hear a president say:
Hello fellow Americans, here’s the truth.
- We are completely broke.
- I promise you nothing.
- A health care plan is irrelevant tight now because we have no money.
- The Federal Reserve is a privately owned entity. It is owned by international banks, not America.
- Federal income tax is unconstitutional and illegal.
- We are now a communistic nation.
- You are all slaves to perpetual debt.
- The entire congress is so corrupted, it will only get worse.
- Our goal is to suppress you and keep you down.
- Please don’t listen to us, we are lying to you.
- We use religion as a tool to control your opinion.
- We are laughing behind your backs.
- Oh yeah, we are broke and now want all your money. If you don’t like it, we will take it by force.
Thank you,
Your Honest Backstabbing Candidate
Today, the Federal Reserve is loaning the crooked and already bailed out AIG an additional 37.8 BILLION dollars! This is not part of the trillion dollar bail out, it is separate. They already received 100 or so billion. In my opinion, this financial crisis is not an accident. Let’s see, I think I remember something similar in history.
The Panic of 1907
In 1907, greed filled international bankers like J.P. Morgan, the Rockefeller’s, the Rothschild’s and others couldn’t get enough money to satisfy their evil hearts. J.P. Morgan was instrumental in creating a widespread panic which led to the creation of the Federal Reserve – one central bank to control America, inflation and it’s money supply. Remember what Thomas Jefferson said?
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to own the issue of currency – the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Thomas Jefferson
1743-1826
Does this sound familiar? Right now, a trillion dollar bailout has been signed into law. This made the Federal Reserve the sole owner of the mortgage industry along with credit as a whole. Now, corporations like Wal-Mart will borrow money directly from our government to get money for payroll and so forth. That is corporate fascism/communism/welfare.
Our government started this new panic, thus allowing the Federal Reserve and Treasury to have a new level of totalitarian power.
In 1921 in reference to the Fed calling in massive loans after doubling the money supply to consolidate the central banking structure and kill all smaller banks (5,400 smaller banks outside of the federal reserve system), congressman Charles Lindberg said:
“Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figure a mathematical equation.”
This new panic is no different and is to keep the Federal Reserve/International banks in power. Let me rephrase that. It’s to give the fraudulent Federal Reserve even more power. Now, as horrifying as all this sounds, lets not forget that this same government has also slammed a Federal Income Tax (which is unconstitutional) on top of the slavery we already exist in. To think people actually want credit cards right now lets you know just how dumbed down and oblivious people really are. We live under politics of fear and that is not mere conspiracy theory.
Many skeptics of this position can shut up now – the Federal Reserve now officially loans money directly and charges interest – that cannot be denied. Now, the American people are “loaning” the Federal Reserve money…lol!!! People are actually dumb enough to think they’ll get it back. Don’t worry, more bailouts are coming – this is just the beginning.
The only people not getting a bailout is us. In fact, we are paying for the bailout!
So I ask you, why are so many people so ignorant of the truth? Why are people so unenlightened and actually want to vote for one of the two puppets running for office? I think it’s that people don’t care and don’t know history. I basically don’t understand the lesser of two evils concept and will never accept it.
Neither Obama or McCain have an economic plan. When I read articles criticizing only one of these men, it is disturbing. People who are unbiased criticize both candidates. I don’t want to hear about health care – America is too broke to even think about that right now. I want an honest leader who actually understands economics and has a real plan. Both of our candidates are liars and we should all know it.
Democrats don’t criticize Obama. Republicans don’t criticize McCain. That’s why I’m an independent constitutionalist and oppose both fraudulent parties. If you want to fight for America, don’t fight for one of these ignorant candidates. Fight against the corrupted government, Federal reserve, international bankers, wide open borders and outsourcing of manufacturing jobs. And to think they actually expect us to trust them.
No matter what I say or complain about, we still have it pretty good in America.

Revellian: USSRA! Indeed. I’ve been beating that drum for years now. I really don’t see how it’s different than Stalin or Brezhnev’s USSR. Constant war. Police state. Half-assed empire. Worthless currency. Concentration of industry into giant “production associations”. Is ADM or Cargill really all that different from the KHOLKOZ system? Is AOL-TM different from ITAR-TASS? Are McCain and Obama’s vague economic plans any different than Stalin’s NEPs?
If you’ve read my stuff on RDB, you know where I’m at on all this. If not, here’s a short intro. I live in Panama. I am a professional speculator and investor. I have an MBA in finance and prob/stat. I’m proud not ashamed of any of that and I’m going to keep doing my work and making money no matter which American approves or disapproves. The difference is that the largest financial institutions along with the Treasury and Federal reserve are CHEATING and STEALING. I move money. I don’t cheat or steal. I smile when I win. I pay when I lose.
I am opposed to this bailout scam for many of the reasons you are. I do, however, support Barack Obama as does the rest of the world by 93-7. I like him because of his intelligence and his calm demeanor. I have no illusions about him.
I don’t need Barack Obama to be president of Panama. Martin Torrijos is a fine president and I’m sure Mrs Balbina Herrera will be a fine one when she’s elected as expected in May of 2009.
My favorite point to put this into perspective for Americans is this: Alan Garcia, the right-wing president of Peru, was a commander of death squads for the Reagan-backed government in the 1980s. The Democratic Party platform on social policy and criminal justice is far, far, far to Garcia’s right. Obama on social policy and criminal justice would be considered an intolerable extremist in Peru compared to a psychopath like Garcia. The Democratic Party platform of today is far more repressive than the Manuel Noriega government here was. See? No illusions.
The thing of it is that Obama’s a huge improvement over Gore and Kerry and McCain is too scary for the rest of the world to contemplate. He is not motivated by money. He is motivated by a very intense anger and a great deal of Hitler-like bigotry. We’ve had enough of that.
Every one of your bullet points was spot on.
I’d say that the most interesting economic ideas I heard during the campaign came from Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Go back to the debates and interviews and you’ll see how prophetic both were. Practically every South American government has been very sharp in their economic management over the last 8 years or so, but the sharpest of all might be Hugo Chavez. That economy is run to perfection and they are very close to being in the top 5 Western nations in per-capita wealth. Bush and McCain are COMMUNIST DICTATORS. Hugo Chavez is the President of a capitalist social deocratic republic. Full stop. I hold no brief for him. I agree with half of his policies, disagree with half, but I have great respect for his economic team.
Last night, I heard from both that Venezuela was “a threat to America’s security” from both candidates. I happen to know something about Barack Obama’s relationship at least with Panama’s Center-left PRD governing party. He and our first president (after Clinton removed the military and CIA and closed all the bases in 1999) Ernesto Perez-Balladares, also PRD, both use the same attorney, Gregory Craig. Obama has to know what’s real and what’s not real down here. He parrots this “security risk” thing to sell to independents. That’s politics.
While I agree with you on the Treasury and Fed and I don’t think that the Morgans, (half of) the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers were any different than you describe them in the robber baron era, I’ll be damned if I’m going to be lectured about good and evil by an American.
The wealthy are 1% of America. The not-wealthy are 99%. So, how does the “oppression” occur without concession and collaboration by the 99%? I think the American culture which has allowed for this distribution is way more a product of “the people” than the bankers. You can reason with a banker. You can’t reason with “the American people.”
Look at what the “common man” in America worships: WAR, THE DEATH PENALTY, LIFE SENTENCES, KKK-AND-YER-OUT, INCARCERATING CHILDREN WITH ADULTS, THE FLAG, THE POLICE, THE PROSECUTORS. THEY LAUGH AT SEXUAL BONDAGE IN PRISONS OR THINK IT’S A PROPER PART OF THE CRIMINAL SANCTION. THE “COMMON MAN” DOESN’T WANT HIGH QUALITY SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE FOR HIMSELF! Feature all that for a second.
Let’s go on. THE “COMMON MAN” IS A RACIST. THE COMMON MAN OF ALL COLORS IS A HOMOPHOBE AND A SEXIST.
MOST OF ALL THE “COMMON MAN” OF ALL COLORS IS CONVINCED THAT THERE’S AN INVISIBLE MAN IN THE SKY AND IF YOU GO TO ONE OF HIS MILLIONS OF HOUSES AND PAY MONEY AND ARE OBEDIENT, YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER. Heaven help you if you suggest that maybe man invented God and not the other way around. By what count do Americans believe in the supernatural as set forth by organized religion or in that b.s. of a “higher power”? It’s got to be 95%, no?
Even devout South American Catholics think the way Americans practice religion is psycho.
And there are tons of well-meaning American liberals on the blogs who will give me no end of shit because of my work and will get all high and mighty about “the people” yet they’re worse than Sarah Palin if you suggest that organized religion is a con game. They get very queasy if you suggest that homosexuality is merely another interesting variant of normal. They get very queasy if you suggest that maybe baroque ritualistic state-sponsored murder in the form of the death penalty isn’t such a good idea. Liberals? Feh! Give me a banker any day of the week.
What liberals, anyway? America has two parties: a right-wing Reaganite party and a psycho Stalinist/Nazi National Front Party with a Fundamental Christianist base.
And there are a couple of million free thinkers like you scattered around the colleges, univesities and big cities. Out of 300mm.
We’re all laughing at America. But we surely wish you didn’t have so many ICBMs and so much military equipment and ordnance. Not that it matters. If anything happens anywhere, the US dollar will get crushed like a grape and people will be tearing fighter jets apart for scrap to sell for eggs, apples and water.

@rawdawg
Don’t disagree but it’s only a small part of the problem.
When there’s $56 Trillion (more than the entire national debt) invested in swaps (CDS), basically little more than highly speculative and complex insurance paper that is not regulated there’s a huge problem.
Take AIG as the first example. They write insurance, and then turn around and write and sell swaps (insurance) on the insurance they sold in the first place. When they have to pay on the insurance they also have to pay on the swaps insuring the insurance something they had no reserve in place to cover because it wasn’t regulated.
The AIG loss (writedown) on their CDS on subprime debt alone in the 4th qtr last year was $11B.
What you are seeeing now is what happens when a $56T market in CDS does to the economy when it goes south. An unregulated, very highly speculative market, devised by the very greedy and unscrupulous people running the companies.

Just to follow up on my last comment, you can look at it this way…
Ever go into a casino and see that big “wheel of fortune thingy”? You know, the one where you put a dollar on the 40-1 and then they spin the wheel and if it comes up 40 you win $40 on your buck?
Well, CDS are just as speculative. The big difference is that casinos have a reserve in place insuring you’ll get paid your $40.

Hi Kelso’s Nuts, Are you the sole author of Kelso’s Nuts and RDB?. I live in the deep south (Mississippi Gulf Coast) in one of America’s poorest states. The area I live in is not poor (it’s a mini-Las Vegas) but drive 100 miles north and it’s all racist backwoods country red-necks and poor people. Like most places in America stricken with poverty, it’s all crack cocaine and meth labs. The average person here knows nothing about history, politics, fears God, loves Jesus and many can whip up a batch of meth in 45 minutes for less than $15.00. Racism is so intense, it is truly scary – but no different than any other place in America.
You’re so right in your mention of the common man, and no matter what I write about this government and it’s totalitarian elements, the deep divide between falsely understood liberal/conservative ideologies will not end and continue to breed more hatred. If I write something overly offensive to religious sensibilities, I will surely lose most of my American readers.
As you know, this election will not come down to anything more than race, religion and fear. When the “common man” pulls the lever in the voting booth, it will be based on race (in most cases). I have no illusions about that.
I am a huge supporter of Ron Paul, not just because he’s right on taxes, the fed, the borders and all that, but because of his non-interventionist foreign policy – the very reason most republican conservatives don’t support him. War is hatred and usually against imaginary enemies, but Americans are dumb and fearful of anything different than themselves.
When I learned American history in highschool and college, they purposefully left all the truth out, and taught me shit. I was taught a Judeo-Christian version of history and politics as are all Americans. I had to relearn everything from scratch on my own.
Liberal versus conservative is just something to provide more hatred in America and people don’t even know what they mean. The same is true of religion.
Your last statements are true, which is the main reason I am going to move out of this country. The truth is, there is no saving America no matter how much “hope” the people have. Every position, religion and ideology is pure extremism. And the people themselves are to blame for all of it. They’re apathetic and just want to eat their McDonald’s cheeseburgers and watch TV. Sure, a small percentage of Americans may vote, but they don’t even know what they’re really voting for. I’m really wasting my time writing any of this, but I love to write. You already know all this, but I thought your comment was fantastic. It’s great to meet you by the way.
Also, I have to be careful of what I write as I don’t want my site hacked by big brother, and that is no joke…lol!!!!

You’re absolutely right Bobby. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the dollar has lost over 90% of its value. It’s lost around 37% in just the last seven years! The Fed creates these bubbles, and the bubbles always burst…just like we’re seeing now.
If we want any sort of a proper and stable future for this country we need to abolish the Federal Reserve and government needs to stop meddling in the markets. Government interference is what starts artificial economic imbalances in the first place! It makes it impossible for corrections to take place quickly and easily (as they would in a truly free market), and ultimately guarantees economic crisis. Again, just like we’re seeing right now.
We need to get these crooks out of office right now. How can we continue to let them ruin our lives and our country?! Did you see where Lehman Brothers gave out millions of dollars in bonuses to fired executives AT THE SAME TIME it was pleading for federal help? WTF! And our piece-of-shit government still goes to their rescue with OUR money.
The correct way to handle it is to let the market take of it and let those companies that couldn’t operate a business properly die. If I owned a business and ran it into the ground I wouldn’t get any bailout help. So why should these crooks?
I’m sick and tired of this nonsense. Golden parachutes, special tax breaks, huge pensions for fired execs who couldn’t do their job in the first place. It needs to stop. Oh, and any congressman/woman who goes to jail for a crime committed needs to lose his/her pension. Our tax dollars are going to convicted criminals right now as we speak. Talk about bullshit!
The Fed = FAIL
Our leaders = FAIL
America = FAIL

Hi Aaron. So true, but as I write all this, the simple truth is it’s really the people’s fault and their corrupted educations. As you already know, it will take much, much more than just firing members of congress or getting a new president – those things are cosmetic at best and barely scratch the surface of our problems.
The sheer magnitude of governmental corruption is so deeply entrenched, America is a dying cancer patient in their last days.
Our media and leaders talk to us like we are stupid – in a vague manner. But they’re right – most of us are stupid. Ending all these wars is equally important to the corruption. A lot of this stems from America’s protection of Israel. Look, I’m not anti-semitic and don’t care what religion a person follows, but if I even suggest that our willingness to destroy our own nation to protect Israel at all costs is wrong – I will be branded a neo-nazi, anti-semitic hate monger. But all this is again, cosmetic and meaningless.
The American government uses the biblical myth that Israel must be protected at all costs – for they are God’s chosen people – as a tactic of deception. The real reason isn’t that, or to prevent a 2nd holocaust; it’s for the oil, protection of the International banks and to keep war going, thus providing destabilization across the mid-east.
But yes, the rotted corporations must be allowed to die. Congress spit in America’s face on that deal. We live in a totalitarian dictatorship and people are seeing tiny glimpses of truth – but too little too late.
As Ron Paul predicted 10+ years ago, the dollar will soon be worthless and there’s very little hope. Just to get elected, a candidate must become an actor speaking nothing but lies; otherwise, they stand no chance. It’s the nature of American politics.
We the people are to blame, not the leaders and congress. Drop the truth on people and they run from it like it’s a bomb.

Yes the economy is f-d right now, but that is only ONE issue. And…last i checked there was still a president in office. Let him continue to pretend to do his job, while we sift through ALL the issues of the candidates.
Oh, and i wouldn’t expect much information from obama at this point. He has the election swiftly swinging his way. The best strategy to ensure a victory is to be tight lipped and let his opponent flail and sink faster into the quick sand that has become palin.

@Bobby: It’s the sad truth, but you’re entirely correct, my friend. Honestly, I think American stupidity has reached an all-time high, and it’s only now that some of us are waking up from our deep slumber – what I like to refer to as “mental hibernation.”
Unfortunately, too many of us are still fast alseep.
“Drop the truth on people and they run from it like it’s a bomb.”
So true. So very true. And this resistance to facts and logic applies to more areas than just peoples’ political views. It’s like it’s ingrained in the American brain or something. I won’t get off on a whole rant here about morals, religion, the environment, etc. The bottom line is that too many Americans don’t know the facts…and when they’re actually presented with the facts, they still want or choose to ignore them.
IMHO, America, as a collective whole, is nothing but a brainwashed automaton. And it’s time to pull the plug.
And yes, it’s an undeniable fact that today’s politicians must become actors in order to get elected. That’s why they all pose publicly with a dog as their main/favorite/preferred pet, as opposed to a cat. And that’s why they all proclaim to be Christian…even when sometimes they are not. Bottom line, it’s all an act…a popularity contest.
If Americans really wanted to get somewhere, they’d put aside their petty personal preferences and differences and make choices based on facts and history, rather on sheer ignorance. But alas, that day may never come.
Btw, kudos to you for being awake enough to know that Ron Paul predicted all of this over 10 years ago. When the hell will America finally wake up?!

Hi Aaron, the truth is, I don’t need religion to have morals. I have been involved in several religions and have a life long fascination with many different beliefs. I’m not religious, but am spiritual so to speak. Morality is learned, not instinctual, and most religions do teach a good set of morals. I’m basically liberal on those views.
I think Christian fundamentalism is just as dangerous as Islamic extremism – now that’s a fact. Race, religion, class, party; it’s all separatism and is incredibly destructive to a country. If only conservatives could be anti-war and liberals could be pro-freedom…hahahahaha, now that is fantasy!!!

Bobby, I think the biggest revolutionary tactic that citizens are capable of, even though it would be next to impossible, because groups of people think in a pack mentality, is to not vote. If an entire nation didn’t vote for neither party, politicians would be in a definite pickle, but I doubt that can ever happen because a portion of people still like to believe in pipe dreams. I was shocked to see the Australian dollar take a huge tumble. It’s certainly altered any plans I’ve had (to travel, for example) and it has affected my current projects as well. Here in Australia, our politicians or governing party, is busy spinning out bullshit, saying that ‘we can ride it out, we are in a better position’ but that is crap because the projections for economic growth are at a low 2%, which is crap.
The reality that many don’t want to acknowledge (hence the bailouts) is that America and Europe are in a recession, and other countries will have few choices but to be in a recession because a lot of their money (borrowed and other) is tied up with American banks/lenders. I guess what we’re seeing now is the proof that deregulation doesn’t work. Governments really do – regardless of whether this is viewed as nationalism,socialism or whatever – have to regulate their financial institutions. If governments don’t regulate, then what the hell are they there for? To finance wars and use fear propaganda for citizen support?

Hi Ana, if no one voted, congress would vote someone in if I’m not mistaken – although it would be so hilarious if the entire country boycotted! I think they should allow third party candidates in the debates even if they have few supporters. I guarantee those 3rd party candidates would get a lot of votes if people actually had the chance to see and hear them.
I would LOVE to see Ron Paul debate Obama & McCain, he would annihilate them.
Another perspective on deregulation/regulation is it does no good if it’s not enforced. It’s like gun laws; America has plenty of gun laws, but they aren’t enforced. But yes, there should be strictly enforced regulation and it shouldn’t be an additional trillion dollar department in the government as the government is already too big.
What you’ll see coming in America is pseudo-fascism/corporatism. This is where the government owns part of and directs all business/banks. Profits will be privatized and losses socialized – that sounds like a really shitty idea.
America will recover, but it will be a different more un-free America. This political fear is a scientifically applied tactic to change America into a more socialistic/Marxist super state.

We should all write all of our representatives regularly, not just when something bad happens.
To me, being politically active is far more important that merely voting, but it’s extremely stressful and negative at times. As long as I’m free to do what I want and can afford to eat, I don’t really even care who the president is…lol!
Have a great day

Revellian,
I have enjoyed your discourse. I agree that there is a definite break in the system. I happen to lean a bit toward the lessor of two evils, rather than none at all. This is because the system as it is demands that action at this point. The laziness and complacency of the US has helped to create this mess we are in, as well as, the greed syndrome of our society. We think that all is well until its not and then it is a bit late…

Hi Bobby
Once again, your passion shines through. Well done!
I called in for another purpose and got sucked in to read this article. LOL. That’s what happen when you travel the Revellian Highway.
I posted an article on my blog (you know where it is) as an example for my IM coaching students. The AUS liberal leader (our republicans, I think), is now on Twitter so I wrote an article about him “being a Twit”, in a nice way.
Having no more to say after one paragraph, I decided to elaborate on how politicians draw attention to themselves from their statements. Sarah Palin came to mind (I find her a bit… well strange. No different to the rest). So I posted a pretty average video with John Cleese having a laugh at her.
I got some irate responses from a couple of republicans. It was obvious they were one-eyed voters as they were upset that “Lovely and Adorable” Sarah Palin was being mocked by “Cheap and Untalented” John Cleese.
Never mention my play with words on the Democrat Ticket: OBAMA BIN BIDEN
That didn’t rate a mention. LOL. That was fine with them. Obviously, mocking the Democrats was OK because they probably hate them and will vote for anything and everything that represents their party – even if it means they have to sacrifice their sons for the Haliburton, Bechtel, Enron, Main and the Global agenda for the banks.
Great story, Bobby. Please call in and comment as your presence will be noticed. Cheers mate.

P.S. This article is nowhere near my standard. I wrote it as an example for my IM students and dropped my standard a bit. Never-the-less, there is a point there and I will appreciate your input.

@Doug: Thanks for reading! I think it’s too late to change anything. The government is far too big and powerful to deal with anymore.
@Sean: How’s it going Sean! As you know, I oppose the entire American political system. Yeah, all politicians are like stars, not leaders. I’ll come read your article!

@Revellian: We can still defeat the government. Never say never, and never say the government is far too big and powerful to deal with. It is possible and we can do it! There certainly is more of us than there is of them. If we repeat what our forefathers did then it can be done. We just have to use a different strategy because of the modern times.
