If I Were The Devil

1965



It is truly amazing now, and always has been to me, how not only the American political system but the American people beat around the bush of truth. Everybody talks about change but very few speak about just what really must be changed to get our house in order.

It’s always the divide and conquer, order out of chaos technique, concentrating the masses on non-issues instead of the real issue at hand. There is only one issue that needs to be addressed and all the other financial problems the USA is having will dissolve like an Alka-Seltzer in a cup of water.

It is really something to watch the main stream media, run by the criminals in action, run their campaigns of nonsense keeping the American people and the world in a state of mass confusion.

For example this video from Fixed News, where they, as always, refuse to even say one word to the truth of what has bankrupted this country financially and morally. It is not just this MSM source; let me be clear, they are all in concert in an orchestra of deceit.

This news clip where they warn, the US is on a march down the road to becoming Greece, talk about taking on spending, how we are ready to run out of cash and the budget linked to the debt ceiling.

Fixed news talks about paying for what we consume and snake oil, well I don’t know about everyone else but I have been drowning in a sea of snake oil for a long time.


All the issues we hear about that are bankrupting our country ‘Entitlement programs ‘such as Medicare, Social Security, disability, etc. are miniscule to the real issue; I will get to it after a few more paragraphs.

Definition of Entitlement:


Distribution or exercise of an absolute privilege or right to an economic benefit (such as old age pension, social security, unemployment) granted by contract or law, automatically upon meeting the required qualification.

Definition of Absolute privilege:


Privilege that protects its holder from all harms arising from any action or inaction.

Definition of Holder:


Party that is in possession of a document of title, a negotiable instrument, or a security (bond, note, share) that is drawn, issued, or endorsed to the party, to its order, to bearer, or in blank.

So how does an entitled absolute privilege holder of a disability and social service program for retirement after working into old age and paying the MANDATORY tax become a Ponzi scheme and a non-legally binding governmental promise; Social Security and Medicare taxes are now called FICA or payroll taxes and ARE mandatory, the money is no longer yours the minute your employer withholds your Social Security taxes. The Social Security Act of 1935 stated they were not to be allowed as income tax deductions.

For the purpose or by any Act of congress in substitution therefor, the tax imposed by section 801 shall not be allowed as a deduction to the taxpayer in computing his net income for the year in which such tax is deducted from his wages.

Jim Horney at the liberal Center on Budget Priorities said “Retirement programs are not legal obligations.”


As Dr. Paul Craig Roberts put it in his article from 3 years ago titled ‘Looting Social Security’

Two Wall Street henchmen, Alan Greenspan and David Stockman, set up the Social Security raid in this way: The Carter administration had put Social Security in the black for the foreseeable future by establishing a schedule for future Social Security payroll tax increases. Greenspan and Stockman conspired to phase in the payroll tax increases earlier than was needed in order to gain surplus Social Security revenues that could be used to finance other government spending, thus reducing the budget deficit. They sold it to President Reagan as “putting Social Security on a sound basis.”

Along the way Americans were told that the surplus revenues were going into a special Social Security trust fund at the U.S. Treasury. But what is in the fund is Treasury IOUs for the spent revenues. When the “trust funds” are needed to pay Social Security benefits, the Treasury will have to sell more debt in order to redeem the IOUs.

Social Security was mugged again during the Clinton administration when the Boskin Commission jimmied the Consumer Price Index in order to reduce the inflation adjustments that Social Security recipients receive, thus diverting money from Social Security retirees to other uses.

We constantly hear from Wall Street gangsters and from Republicans and an occasional Democrat that Social Security and Medicare are a form of welfare that we can’t afford, an “unfunded liability.” This is a lie. Social Security is funded with an earmarked tax. People pay for Social Security and Medicare all their working lives. It is a pay-as-you-go system in which the taxes paid by those working fund those who are retired.


Social Security was a good thing “during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term, as a measure to implement “social insurance” during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when poverty rates among senior citizens exceeded 50 percent. The Act was an attempt to limit what were seen as dangers in the modern American life, including old age, poverty, unemployment, and the burdens of widows and fatherless children.”


A good thing until the amendment that took it from a Trust fund and put it into the General fund so the Congress could spend it.
They even have the audacity to tax the annuities!

A letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana to Alan Simpson-

This letter has been verified; I don’t care what Snopes says. Here’s the link-

http://www.theindianreporter.com/repository/2012/patty_myers/

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama’s deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared “Social Security” to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.

Here’s a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana… I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

“Hey Alan, let’s get a few things straight.

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for
decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for
votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud..

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors
nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing
to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of
the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare
to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet
again. Why? Because you incompetent basterds spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of
money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us “greedy” for calling “bullshit” on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few
questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from
the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as
usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the “greedy” ones. It is you and your fellow
nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes.
That’s right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know
it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable SOB.


The Cliff?


Vacation time!

Obamas vacation to Hawaii at a cost to the taxpayers of a sum of $4 million which brings it to over $20 million to date, but that’s just chicken feed when we are talking, as of today $16,359,000,000,000 of US debt.

They have done a great job

Raises:


Biden will earn $231,900 beginning March 2013, a roughly $6,000 bump from the previous year, The Weekly Standard reports, citing official disclosure forms.

Members of the House and Senate will also get a small pay increase of $900 as annual compensation for members of Congress will jump to $174,900 in 2013.


Katrina/Sandy

Hurricane Sandy, NY and Jersey in shambles



Another good one: $200bn annual cost for the phony war on drugs.


The Real Issue:


Now onto the REAL issue; wonder why our country is going down and will continue to do so? Here it is!

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if…
Your government makes war the biggest industry in the name of peace, using it against non-threatening countries around the globe and maintaining 900 military bases in 130 countries while no war has been declared, going into trillions of dollars in debt to China and then telling it’s people they have to pay more taxes, give up social services they have paid all their hard working lives for, all the while bragging about the billions of tax payer dollars being spent on battle ships, drones, fighter jets, invasions and occupations of other countries etc. Over half of the Federal Budget goes to the military Industrial Complex, but it is the people that are blamed for the Fiscal Cliff we fall off every year.


We have 900 military bases in 130 countries; there will be $633.3 billion in defense spending for 2013 as we are deploying troops to 35 African countries, continuing our invasions and occupations of the Middle East and keeping the Persians in our crosshairs.

This hegemony over the world in the name of ‘The War On Terror’ is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the inhabitants of this planet and especially the American people who are for the most part completely clueless to the blowback and peril to come from our actions, and most of all, our inactions.



238 years of militarization, some wonder why so many are going nuts in this country; adults, and worst of all our children for the most part are all on pharmaceutical mind altering drugs, watching violence on TV and playing violent video games all day. All of us have been brutally desensitized and demoralized, just some worse than others. No one has escaped the effects of this war on terror.
A so called war that can never be won and in reality does not even exist, a fabrication devised by the biggest tax furnace ever devised by man to benefit the few who profit immensely from the military industrial complex.

No war has been declared, no enemy is threatening the United States militarily or otherwise, when does the war on terror end? Maybe we have become what we are supposedly fighting, maybe we are the terror… a look at our last 238 years it sure looks to be true.

And Now Their After The Guns?


All by design:

If we take a real look at what is being done in all the countries abroad, the game is the same every time; create civil war and dismantle the country, look at Iraq, Libya and now Syria for real good examples.

I know many will say it can’t happen here, please just think about it for a minute.

So just what is going on here in the US with all this Gun control nonsense? All we hear today is they’re coming after the guns, when in fact all this latest fear mongering, just as before, has done what? Made everyone go out and empty the gun shops of all the guns and ammo available, quite the strategy for a government that supposedly wants to disarm the people.

In fact they are arming the American people to the teeth, so when it comes our turn for a purposely created civil war we can all kill each other, just as has happened in so many other countries, it will here too when the planned collapse and great final conflict is realized. In other countries we ship in the weapons for the people to kill each other, in this country we have them readily available, and they will be used; the powers that be know exactly what they’re doing.

Conclusion:


The infinite war:

Unless something is done soon about this out of control spending on imperialism, our definition of currency, our general attitude to the rest of the world and lives in general; make no mistake about it, we are on the road to collapse, civil war and the complete destruction of everything this country was founded on and supposed to be about. These are the goals of the real enemy and they are being met with little resistance so they are coming to pass very quickly. Beside the military industrial complex issue all other debates are a waste of time and another day closer to the complete bankruptcy of the United States of America.

It is time now for the re moralization, re sensitization anti pharmaceutical drug, anti violence and anti stupidity campaign of America to begin… God Speed…

Innocents Betrayed – The History of Gun Control

THE FEDERAL BUDGET AND THE SERVES

by John Vodila
7/16/2011

thetruthnews



Serve: definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary; to be a servant.

Middle English, from Anglo-French servir, from Latin servire to be a slave, serve, from servus slave, servant. First known use: 13th century.

What a game, this dog and pony show over the ‘BUDGET’ what a joke, is anyone taking these mental misfits seriously?

Obama: “I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”


So let me see if I got this right; we don’t have the money in the ‘coffers’ for the sick, starving, unemployed or the social security checks for the ones who have worked and paid into social security for 35-45 years or more here in the US and the Veterans who have served and their benefits; too bad so sad!!!

But we do have the money to run thousands of military bases here in the US and over 800 military bases in over 130 countries around the world, build billion dollar embassy’s in London, Iraq and Pakistan just recently, 3 billion in aid to Israel every year, overthrowing invading, occupying and destroying (we call war) working on 6 countries; Afghanistan, Iraq (Cost so far according to costofwar.com $1,221,624,600,000 at 13:35 on the 16th of July, 2011 $200,000 per minute for Iraq and Afghanistan alone), Pakistan, Libya(The first day a cost to the US of $100 million in missiles alone) , Yemen, Somalia and not including all the black op excursions going on in South America and only God knows where else.

Congress Members Handed Out Bonuses to Staffs During Budget Crisis

Even as deep federal budget cuts loomed at the end of last year, members of Congress from both parties paid taxpayer-funded bonuses to their staffs.

Overall, House members spent about $21.5 million more on their office payrolls for the fourth quarter of 2010, when bonuses are traditionally paid, than they spent for the average of the three previous quarters, according to LegiStorm, a Washington group that tracks congressional pay.

Defeated and retiring lawmakers paid an average bonus of about $4,000. Returning lawmakers paid an average $2,300, the group found.

The money came out of the average $1.5 million allocated to each office for expenses including salaries, travel and bottled water purchases — money that, if unspent at the end of the year, goes back to the Treasury. Some lawmakers have boasted of sending leftover funds from their office budgets to the Treasury to show their frugal ways.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s wealth grows 62% to $35.2M, Boehner, Reid’s worth increases too
BY ALIYAH SHAHID
Thursday, June 16, 2011

What recession?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s net worth skyrocketed 62% last year, to a jaw-dropping $35.2 million, according to financial disclosure forms released Wednesday.

Pelosi, the former House speaker, wasn’t alone.

The California Democrat’s gavel-gripping successor, Republican John Boehner, also saw his wealth get a boost, with the Ohio GOPer’s net worth increasing from $1.8 million in 2009 to $2.1 million last year.

Government Waste: 20 Of The Craziest Things That The U.S. Government Is Spending Money On

#1 A total of $3 million has been granted to researchers at the University of California at Irvine so that they can play video games such as World of Warcraft. The goal of this “video game research” is reportedly to study how “emerging forms of communication, including multiplayer computer games and online virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft and Second Life can help organizations collaborate and compete more effectively in the global marketplace.”

#2 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the University of New Hampshire $700,000 this year to study methane gas emissions from dairy cows.

#6 The National Institutes of Health spent approximately $442,340 to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam.

#8 The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent $175 million during 2010 to maintain hundreds of buildings that it does not even use. This includes a pink, octagonal monkey house in the city of Dayton, Ohio.

#10 $35 million was reportedly paid out by Medicare to 118 “phantom” medical clinics that never even existed. Apparently these “phantom” medical clinics were established by a network of criminal gangs as a way to defraud the U.S. government.

#15 The U.S. Census Bureau spent $2.5 million on a television commercial during the Super Bowl that was so poorly produced that virtually nobody understood what is was trying to say.

#20 Almost unbelievably, the National Institutes of Health was given $800,000 in “stimulus funds” to study the impact of a “genital-washing program” on men in South Africa.

50 Examples of Government Waste

The fact of the matter is, all these programs and crazy things the government wastes and over-pays money on are trivial and comparable to having a three thousand dollar monthly income with thirty thousand dollar monthly expenses and debating on how to cut thirty dollars in spending, I don’t know for sure how close this analogy is but I bet I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Imperialism an article I wrote back in March of 2010 that can be viewed here in my words sums it up.

Definition of imperialism:

The policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies.

Imperialism equals fascism and ruination and make no mistake about it, Imperialism has being realized here and now in the U.S.A and is the real issue of the federal budget, it cannot be sustained.This is what has already turned many of us and soon will turn all of us into nothing more than serves, serves to a military industrial complex that nothing but sheer bankruptcy can stop and it’s not too far off in the future.

The federal budget and the serves… too bad so sad.

General Welfare Of The United States: Genocide based on income

With the latest report from RAWSTORYtitled “For first time ever, US facing scrutiny of UN Human Rights Council” that didn’t shock me in any way shape or form that the United States had come under the microscope of the United Nations Human Rights Council for substandard human rights practices. First thing that came to mind was it’s about time.


Article 1, Sect- 8 of the Constitution of the United States reads… The Congress shall have power:To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;


What did that say? Provide for the general welfare, to pay the debts of the United States? How about provide for the general welfare of the banks and the ruling class, that’s the fact today. Sure there’s freedom still here, if you can afford to buy it, other wise it’s for the most part get on your knees and beg or pray. I have been blessed with good health and being able to work my way through so far and I know there will be many that will say what’s so wrong and where’s it better. This- it hasn’t happened to me so it isn’t happening mentality, I have never been able to understand.


I know what’s coming down the pike, sooner or later I will get old and sick and the hammer will be dropped and the vultures will be there to descend upon everything I worked for all my life, they’re waiting in the midst as I write. And it will matter not how much in taxes and how hard I have worked all my life, they will be there to take everything.


I believe well over half of the country right now works for or is compensated by the government in one form or another, who provides these wages and compensations, the government? No the hard working people like me generating the tax money, the government doesn’t make money they spend money, they take it from one and give to another. Sure they let it be printed at interest that has enslaved children not even born yet, the vultures wait at death and at birth, this is the most despotic group imaginable.


So I ask where is this so called Congress that is supposed to be providing for the general welfare of this country, where? All I see is a raping and rampaging of anyone that still has a penny in their pocket, they will figure out a way to divide that penny for themselves so that their precious life styles don’t have to change. Their general welfare has been provided for, that’s for sure.


At what rate is the general welfare for the person that worked and paid taxes all his or her life and now falls old and or ill, it will happen to all of us, some might say that is what insurance is for. What insurance, with over half of my income going into one form or other of taxes that none of which are providing for my general welfare who can afford $600-$1000 in automobile,life, health and dental insurance that you have to buy another policy because you need insurance for insurance, it’s pathetic… I can’t afford it and I have never had a job that provided it, you have to work for the government to get benefits like that!


What has me fired up is not just the issues above but listening to a talk radio show, the Secret Truth, a woman called in who has gone to the United Nations in New York to file for grievances against the United states government for genocide based on income, imagine that. She stated she’s being denied medicare and being told she no longer qualifies for her 2200 dollar a month medications. you can listen to her here or if you can see the player in your brouser click play.


Genocide comes in many forms, food, medical, financial, wars and such, there is in fact a genocidal tyranny that has been in place in America for decades. Do we have rights or is it in fact that everything is a privilege that has to be purchased by license, permit or insurance.


It is fact that today the general welfare of the United States is un-affordable to millions, I guess all these invisible people are just supposed to go away, is this the American dream to work the people to death and give them no benefits for their lives of servitude and paying exorbitant taxes?


What will you say when your time comes? or maybe your one of the lucky ones that has no worries.


“A people who’s lives are based on their income’s is the true definition of genocidal tyranny.”

“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
