TheDepressingTruth

What is upon us is not a Recession or even Depression so let us call it what it is.

The Great Restructuring...

In that the SocioEconomic System that exists today...will not survive this decline into Serfdom

We could take our Nation back from the Oligarchs that have stolen it.

We could prosecute these criminals..both inside and outside of the government under the RICO Statutes....because what they have done (and are doing) is by definition....Organized Crime.

We could end the Federal Reserve...a PRIVATE Central Bank and replace it with a System of PUBLIC Banks on both the State and National level...as JFK was moving towards...before these same Oligarchs....Murdered Him.

But as the Noose tightens around the neck of our liberty....What do the American People Cry out for?

Is it liberty? Is it personal freedom?
Is it for a fair and just society for all?

Give us.. "American Idol"
Give us.."Dancing with the Stars"
...
Our "Beer and Monday Night Football".
Our "Bread and Circuses"

This is how most Americans...maintain their "sanity" if you can call it that....Actively, avoiding reality.

The Masses KNOW that there is something WRONG...
They sense it...

What is most frighting to the people....what they are starting to realize ...That EVERYTHING they KNOW is WRONG.

It falls upon us, You and I to educate the masses,to instruct, and to protect and care for them.

We are the true "Illuminati"....Not these impostors..for if they were truly enlightened...their goal would be for the betterment of Mankind, not it's enslavement.
.
We who are aware...of how the World REALLY Works,and of the Oligarchs plans for mankind...

are the TRUE "enlightened" ones...

Go and Share, Enlightenment to others

Be "The True Illuminati"

Poor to Turn Over Guns For Food in Dallas

Poor to Turn Over Guns For Food

Isn't it interesting that the "Gun Buy Back" seems to target "Minority Groups" over the general population based upon those Media Outlets that are "Sponsoring" the event (97.9 "The Beat" and Univision 23 among others)

Wouldn't this be the same groups that are at the Greatest Risk to be victims of violence thru home invasions?

I tried to obtain an interview with the Mayor's Office, but as of this time,they haven't responded to my request.

A spokesperson for 97.9 "The Beat" stated that "the motivation is to stop the incidence of accidental shooting of children (..It's ALWAYS ABOUT THE CHILDREN...Isn't it)

Based upon their intended goals....Wouldn't it be more cost effective for the City of Dallas to hand out FREE GUN TRIGGER LOCKS ( they could be purchased in bulk for as little as THREE DOLLARS EACH... a "savings" of $47.00 per gun!)

But there arn't any FEDERAL GRANTS FOR THAT.

Your gun for groceries.

That's the goal of a gun buyback from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Reunion Arena, during which each unloaded, operational firearm surrendered will fetch a $50 Kroger grocery gift card.

People trading in their guns must present identification, city officials say.

"It would be a failure on our part if we do not take an initiative," said Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway, who is helping lead the effort.

Event sponsors include Dallas Police, KBFB-FM 97.9 "The Beat," and KSOC-FM 94.5, One-Dallas, Univision 23, Schepps Dairy and Better Dallas Safer Dallas.

Dallas is not using public money to purchase the gift cards, which Kroger is providing at a 30 percent discount to event sponsors, Dallas spokesman Frank Librio said.

Meanwhile, Dallas writer and gun rights advocate Trey Garrison says he may conduct an alternative gun buyback of his own -- with better prices for sellers. He says he'll pay in cash, too.

How much might Garrison spend?

"Depends on what the hardware is," he tells us.

Dollar Devaluation or The Next Link in Our Chains of Enslavement

2008-12-12T15:10:00.000-08:00

Now that the Federal Reserve is bypassing the Treasury Department and going to "Issue" their own bonds...Devaluation of the Dollar looks like a REAL possibility!

What they will do is to tell the "Sheople" to bring their cash to their bank to exchange their OLD Dollars for New Dollars (or Ameros...whatever) and we will get back $1.00 new Dollar for every $10.00 OLD Dollars (Think of it as "Moving the Decimal Place over to the LEFT one place)

Your $200,000.00 home is NOW $20,000.00 in NEW DOLLARS
Your $2000.00 monthly house payment is NOW $200.00
Your $1200.00 a week income is NOW $120.00
$1.70 a gallon gas is NOW $0.17

The Vipers and Thieves that REALLY run the country...will begin some sort of "Wage & Price" Controls in order to delay the Massive HYPERINFLATION that this will cause.

So why do this?
(1) The good o'l USofA-holes will "Repudiate" all of its debt...Leaving Foreign Investors either with NOTHING (because the Federal Reserve will REFUSE to exchange OLD for NEW Treasury Notes) or exchange at a different ratio (say $1.00 NEW Dollar for every $100.00 in T-Bills)

If they do that....The REST OF THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE REALLY PISSED OFF.
Enough to refuse to SELL US STUFF...LIKE OIL

(2) This is the BIG ONE... "Wall Street/Bankers" (You know..the Clowns that got the "Bailout") will get THEIR Money exchanged at a DIFFERENT RATIO than the rest of us (try $1.00 NEW Dollar for every $1.00 OLD Dollar) They will use their "New Found Gain" to BUY UP EVERYTHING IN SIGHT

What to do?
Everyone points towards Gold Coins..Pre-1964 Silver Quarters and Dimes (a.k.a "Junk Silver")
Something else to consider....It might be a good idea to have a few hundred OLD Dollars in regular Quarters and Dimes.....It's easy to replace "Bills".....NOT so easy to recall Coins...

Better to buy that 17cent per gallon Gas.....While it lasts...and it won't last long.

Best of Luck to Us All

"Free Trade" Hasn't Worked...Let's Try "Fair Trade"

2008-11-13T16:25:00.000-08:00

What the Government REALLY needs to do (after the "Bailout") Press for American EXPORT POLICY that empowers the Car Makers and to sell their products in other countries Not "Free Trade" but "FAIR Trade"

Let's look at Germany as an example..When Mercedes exports a Car, the German Government gives Mercedes an aprox. 20% tax abatement...If GM wants to import a Cadillac into Germany there is a aprox. 20% importation tax...Not exactly a "Level Playing Field" is it? Why don't the FOOLS in Washington do something about this?

For those of you who say that "We cant sell our American Crap...Japan,Korea and Other Countries didn't have the best of products at first.. If the emphisis was on building Cars FOR EXPORT rather than for the North American market only....the quality of American products would be forced to improve

What we do have is a cost advantage...The World is awash in U.S.Dollars... We need The World to buy something with them...other than our Agraculture and Inforstructure

The "Fair Tax" Truth

2007-12-13T19:44:00.000-08:00

The “Fair Tax” really should be called the “Fraudulently Fair Tax”

A little background..”Fair Tax” has been promoted by a “third tier talk show host” (Neal Boorts) in a series of books…that the originator of this tax proposal (the former chairman of the Harvard Economics Department, Dr. Dale Jorgenson)has stated, that in the form and method Boorts uses..IT WILL NOT WORK.

Dirty Little Lie#1
The “Fair Tax” would NOT REPLACE ANY FEDERAL TAX PRESENTLY IN PLACE..BUT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE AFORMENTIONED TAXES.

Dirty Little Lie#2
The Math used in Mr Boorts’ book is, at best, flawed..(if not outright lies)
If you take the figures presented in the books, you get minimum tax of at least 30% not the 23% as represented. (example: 1.7 +1.3=3.0 NOT 2.3)

Dirty Little Lie#3
For the “Fair Tax” to replace our present system of Federal Income Taxation, it would require the Federal Retail Sales Tax (”Fair Tax”) to be at a rate of AT LEAST 44% on any and all purchases (no excemption for Food,Clothing or Housing)

Dirty Little Lie#4
Keep in mind that all existing taxes on the State and Local would not only remain in place, but, they,themselves would be subject to “Fair Tax” if collected in the form of “Fees” like Driver License Fees.

Bottom line..
If you think $4.00 a gallon Milk is expensive, try adding a 44% tax ($5.76 w/tax)

Why Peak Oil is a Lie

2007-07-12T16:58:00.000-07:00

Why Peak Oil is a Lie: It's NOT Peak Oil, It's NOT even the end of "Cheap Oil."

The nasty little truth is, there is plenty of Oil in the world...it's just that the "Cheap stuff " was becoming more difficult to find.

First, to talk about Oil, realise that there is oil that is easy to refine into gasoline, propane etc. and we call that "Light Sweet Crude" (think of that as that as that squeeze bottle of honey in the shape of a bear, after being in hot water for twenty minutes) and on the other end of the spectrum, "Sour Crude" (think molasses, on a cold day)

The oil that was taken out of the ground in far West Texas (Midland/Odessa area) was, and is the standard for "Light Sweet" but there is very little of that anymore because it's been drilled out over the last 20-30 years. That isn't to say that there isn't more there at deeper levels. (An aside here, when an investor looks at oil/gas leases, here in Texas, one of the most interesting things is, that many of the holders of the original leases are only selling drilling rights down to about 7500ft and keeping those mineral (oil/gas) rights below 7500ft. and if that doesn't point toward reserves at lower levels, I don't know what does)

At the other end of our Oil spectrum is "Sour Crude", main problem, it's harder to refine, because it's thicker, and more likely to contain trace minerals that we don't want like Sulfur,the good news is it's plentiful and cheap. For years the oil companies avoided "Sour Crude" like the plague, because "the return per barrel was less than other Crude".. and at this point I need to explain how Crude is refined.

The main "Tool" used in refineries is what is refered to as a "Cracking Tower"..(an extreme over simpliflication, for any Chemical Engineers that may read this, I'm a layman explaining to other laymen OK) heated Crude is introduced into the tower, as the Crude is heated it breakes down into its lighter and heavier hydrocarbons, lighter hydrocarbons like those used to formulate gasoline "float" higher and are seperated, other hydrocarbons that are used to make Diesel and kerosine are lower and at the bottom of the tower, think Road Tar. Since the "thicker the crude, the fewer light hydrocarbons" the lower the return of gallons of gasoline relative to gallons of Diesel.

For every problem, there is a solution..and it's not to "Circle the Toyotas,Pilgrims..

The methods being used to "Re-Refine" Crude, to increase its lighter hydrocarbon makeup are to increase the heat and pressure used, and to add other" pre-refined" hydrocarbons (like kerosine) to thin the crude (and even Steam)

If you have purchased unleaded or Diesel that was refined by Valero USA, (Valero is baised in France) it started out as"Sour Crude".

Another "kicker" Oil refineries in Japan and South Korea are having to STOP REFINING crude oil, they have such an OVERSUPPLY of fuel oil (Diesel) that prices for it have dropped to under $20 per barrel (36 cents per gallon, wholesale) compare that with "Light Sweet" Crude (unrefined) selling for $60 That's the LARGEST percentage "spread" between refined/unrefined in history!

The ONLY thing holding up crude oil prices, are those who have purchased Crude Oil Futures, they all are DESPORATLY trying to find someone , ANYONE to sell their contracts to. In the next 12 months those who are "long" (buying) crude oil futures...will lose BILLIONS.

The problem is that "The Seven Sisters of Oil" want you buy the lie that we are running out of Oil, but so do those who want to "help" us. The FEAR industry is one of fastest growing movements today.

There have been overt price manunipulations in the last two years, but there is now an oversupply of Crude now coming onto the market...Just in time..for the Election..

The World's Best Economy...isn't China or the U.S.A

The depressing TRUTH

The Worlds Best Economy ain't Here: What country consistently has low levels of unemployment, high wages, lower inflation, universal health care and social services, and 6 weeks of vacation per year, and for many a 30-32 hour work week?

Sweden, whose nine million people make it by some counts, the biggest Nordic country, is a particular example. In 2005, the English newspaper Guardian, , said that Sweden, was the most successful society the world had ever known. As proof, the Swedish economy grew at a annual rate of 5.6% in the second quarter of 2006, enough to trigger a spate of interest-rate rises by the central bank. Sweden's big companies, such as Ericsson, SKF, Telia and Volvo, are breaking export records.

FOR much of Europe, the past decade has been depressing. Slow growth, high unemployment and the burdens of rising public debt and falling competitiveness have renewed doubts about the sustainability of the European “social model”, which is also starting to creak under the weight of an ageing population. The youthful dynamism of America, and now of China and India, seems to be leaving the decrepit old continent in the shade. Yet there has always been one bright spot amid the gloom: Scandinavia.

In recent years defenders of the European social model—capitalism tempered by a generous and interventionist state—have taken to praising Scandinavia to the skies. The Nordic region, to go a bit wider, has the world's highest taxes and most generous welfare benefits. And yet Sweden, Finland and Denmark (Norway's oil sets it apart) have delivered strong growth and low unemployment, and rank among the world's most competitive economies. Nordic companies are strong in technology and research and development. Their health-care and educational systems are much admired. And, unlike other European countries, most Nordic states run healthy budget and current-account surpluses.

This is in part because history shows Sweden's economy to have flourished when it has been more liberal and low-tax—and to have gone off the rails when higher taxes and more regulation have been imposed.

Thirty years ago Sweden was a largely homogeneous country, but today 10% of its people (and one-seventh of those of working age) are foreign-born. Sweden's new immigrants—especially the country's fast-increasing Muslim population—have integrated poorly compared with the arrivals of the 1970s and 1980s. But the biggest problem for immigrants, as for young Swedes, is work. A study of comparable Somali groups in Sweden and Minnesota found that less than a third of working-age Somalis in Sweden had jobs, half the share in Minnesota.

The result is a worrying new group of people in Swedish society, non-assimilating immigrants, who come into the country "taking more from the system in services, than they give to the system in the form of social capital."

I'm not going to take the time to explain what I feel is a direct correlation between this and a problem with illegal immigration here in the US, some of you already get it..some of you never will, but if we REALLY want to stop people from comming across the border...modify our "anchor baby" access to public services, If a child is born here, but the mother is in the country illegally, citizenship should not be granted automatically to the child, and our laws need to be changed ..by an amendment to the constution that reflects differences between citizens and non-citizens, I know that on the surface this seems very harsh, but we must think of it as prioitising our needs..as a Father, I could never take someone else's kids to McDonald's knowing that my own child would go hungry as a result.

In Denmark, their economy has picked up to annual growth rates of over 3% per quarter since the first half of 2000, this coupled with low growth in the overall population leads to high output rates or as it best known..GDP or Gross Domestic Product per capita.

The increase in Danish growth and stability of it's labor market, is credited to a policy mix of supply-side and demand-side measures that reduced deficit spending in 1993 followed by tax reductions and strict budgetary consolidation between 1994 and 1997 which resulted in a balancing of the budget by 1997 and a budget surplus of 2.8% in 1999

( You can NOT reduce taxes unless you FIRST reduce deficit spending...there is NO point in reducing taxes alone...unless it's to make the Rich richer and to eliminate the Middle Class. Would you, if you knew that your income would decrease 10% next year, make arrangements so that your bills would increase by 10-15% in the next year?)

By placing it's focus on fiscal consolidation (like if you were to become "debt free" in your household fianances...you would pay off the Credit Card with the lowest balance and highest interest rate first..then you use the additional money that you have paying off card #1 against card #2 and so on..) Denmark was able to reduce it's general public debt to only 52.5% of annual GDP in 1999 with a mandate by law, that it can not ever exceed 60% of annual GDP.

The recipe for the perfect “Nordic model”, stretching the geography: Finland's education, Estonia's progressive tax policy, Denmark's labour market, Iceland's entrepreneurship, Sweden's management of big companies and Norway's oil. The right conclusion, in other words, is that it is wisest not to look for a single-country model at all, but just to take best practice wherever you find it.

The depressing Truth is, much of this is out of the pages of "Reaganomics" but that economic policy was never fully implemented..The Neo-Cons reversed policies that would have provided true ecconomic growth, raised the standard of living for all, lowered taxes while reducing the national debt. At the present time we don't know how bad the economy really is. The first act of the new Charman of the Federal Reserve was to stop reporting M3 money supply figures, so there is no way of knowing what the Reserve is doing with all the money it creates..making the Reserve the largest "BlackOps" in the goverment, not to mention how the Bush Adminstration is "cooking" the numbers on the economy (real unemployment in the US in the 2nd quarter of 2006 was over12% and climing).

We know the answers to our problems, Vote'm all out..
