B’Man: I have written many times that I believe that what we are experiencing (the fall of America) is planned and thoughtfully implemented. However, until I read this easy to understand outline at Video Rebel’s Blog, I had yet to find a comprehensive explanation (I certainly could not do this justice with my rants). Prepare yourselves for the inevitable:
The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 to do four things which the FED is still engaged in today. The Panic of 1907 was caused by speculators who used borrowed money to buy stock and by bucket shops which defrauded investors. The Monetary Reform Commission run by Senator Nelson Aldrich wanted an elastic currency so the financial blunders of the 0.1% could be covered up by passing the costs onto the 99.9% through inflation. An elastic currency also disguised the costs of wars to be disguised by inflation. The Federal Reserve also set up a fractional reserve banking system which permitted ten dollars to be loaned out for every one in deposit. This intentionally created an exaggerated credit cycle so bankers could profit from the wild swings in the prices of stocks and mortgages. And finally the Federal Reserve Note is an interest bearing currency which requires us to give the banks 500 billion dollars a year in interest payments for debts which are fictions created by a law passed in 1913. The Federal Reserve was designed to transfer our wealth to the bankers.
The Federal Reserve Act’s elastic currency made it possible for President Wilson to promise to enter WW I. Wall Street wanted to enter the war so they could bankrupt England, overthrow the Czar killing 60 million Russians in the process and set up Palestine as a Jewish colony to be protected by the British Army. This was similar to WW II. The Japanese Emperor had promised to withdraw from China and to even become an ally against Stalin as early as 1936. The German General staff under Beck and Canaris sent two men in March of 1938 to negotiate a treaty with the English offering to arrest Hitler. This means that World War II from the Rape of Nanking to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin need not have happened. That 58 million people died for nothing does not merit a footnote in the stories told by the victorious Allies.
After WW II the US gave north Korea to Joe Stalin so they could set up the Korean war to get anti-Communists killed while running America into ground. On 11-22-1963 President Kennedy was killed on the 53rd anniversary of the first meeting to create the Federal Reserve as a message to the voters to leave the FED alone. JFK’s death also allowed Israel to develop the nuclear weapons he had opposed. It also allowed the US to be led into the Vietnam war so America could lose it while killing a generation of anti-Communists and anti-Globalists, That millions of people died in Korea and Indo-China and even more Unpayable Debts were piled onto America which was very good in the eyes of bankers.
The Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944 was held by 44 Allies under the auspices of the UN. It tied all currencies to the US dollar. It also set up the IMF which most in the Third World and increasing numbers of Greeks, Irishmen, Italians and many other Europeans would agree are blood sucking imperialists. The IMF in recent years stole more than 20 billion dollars from the Irish people and has given nothing in return. That same conference also created the World Bank which for example forbade the Egyptians to develop a self sufficient agricultural system so it would be dependent on Imperial powers. The Bretton Woods system of monetary relations worked very well for the banks of London and Wall Street until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon took America off the Gold Exchange standard.
Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism described how the US was funding its wars by inflating the supply of currency used to settle trade. Since WW II we have been getting real goods like cars and clothes from foreigners in exchange for increasingly worthless paper. When Hudson explained this to the Pentagon, a general said, “Wow. We are ripping people off.”
The Arab-Israeli war of October 6 to 25, 1973 was a prelude to the Arab Oil Boycott. Saudi Arabia decided to reduce oil production by 5% per month on October 17. On October 19, President Nixon authorized a major arms shipment and $2.2 billion in aid for Israel. In response Saudi Arabia declared an embargo against the U. S. This quadrupled the price of oil. Dollars can be used to pay taxes to the US government. After the Boycott dollars could also be used to pay for oil sales between countries neither of which had a need to pay taxes to the American government. Henry Kissinger gave birth to the Petrodollar standard, The important points about Petrodollars are that the price of oil must be kept high so that excess dollars in the system do not circulate causing inflation and oil profits are plowed into US Treasury bonds. The Petrodollar Standard requires conflict in the Mideast to raise tensions and oil prices. It also requires banks like Goldman Sachs to use the derivatives market to buy and sell oil as many as 27 times from the time it gets pumped out of the ground until it arrives at a gas station. Of course higher oil prices do raise some production costs and cause some unemployment but Wall Street dies very well and nobody else matters.
Since the passage of NAFTA in 1994 and the subsequent devaluation of the Chinese yuan, America shipped 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. This forever made economic recovery of the real economy impossible. In 1996 the head of CalPERS (California Public Employees’ Retirement System) told Catherine Austin Fitts that there was no point in investing to rebuild America because the decision had already been made to take America down. Subsequently Catherine who used to be the managing partner at Dillon Read Investment bank had a conversation with another high level funds manager. They had both independently come to the same conclusion. There was so much money being stolen from Americans by Wall Street that the only solution to the problem of missing pension funds, savings and retirement accounts was genocide. Wall Street would have to kill tens of millions of Americans because the tens of trillions they stole could never be returned.
Lest anyone think bankers are dull but honest men please consider the testimony of a former DEA agent who said it was impossible to get Federal Reserve co-operation in money laundering cases against the Too Big To Jail banks. He said 750 tons of Federal Reserve Notes had to be repatriated for just one case involving one bank. Transactions over ten thousand dollars require special reports to be filled out. A case involving 380 billion dollars would have generated 38 million reports for ten thousand dollar transactions or 38 thousand at a million dollars each. It is forbidden to mention in the Controlled Press that Ben Bernanke and his predecessor Alan Greenspan are Jewish.
In 1999 the final two nails in the coffin of the world economy was driven by Wall Street and the politicians they owned. They repealed the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 which had protected depositors from the wild speculations of investment bankers by separating the two types of banks. This has now exposed the Too Big To Jail banks to 227 trillion dollars in potential losses from the unregulated Credit Default Swaps market. Brooksley Born was Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Omission in 1999 when she attempted to regulate CDS. They are a hybrid between insurance and derivatives which are a bet on the future value of a bond or a commodity. She knew that world was headed to a train wreck because for example when a bank sells a CDS guaranteeing the buyer from a loss in the value of a Greek bond no money has to be set aside to pay these potential claims. Some say the total notional value of the derivatives and CDS markets is 1.5 quadrillion dollars. The GDP of the entire world is only 60 trillion dollars, From 2008 to the end of 2011 Ben Bernanke created 30 trillion dollars to bailout bad decisions and frauds made by bankers all over the world. He has created additional trillions of dollars this year. There is no money set aside for these CDS losses thanks to the intervention of four Jewish men who told Ms Born she was nor allowed to regulate CDS. The men were Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt. The only Bailout Bernanke ever had was to print dollars to infinity thus reducing the purchasing power of your dollars to zero.
In 2000 Alan Greenspan started raising interest rates and tightening the money supply early enough in the year to take the stock market down before election day so George W Bush could win the presidency and take America to war for Israel. This War on Terror was designed to last until America went bankrupt and lost WW III. The whole point of NAFTA was to make America’s supply lines stretch 8,000 miles to China on a dodgy credit card so America would be guaranteed to lose WW III and be unable to demand the return of the tens of trillions Wall Street had stolen.
On September 10, 2001 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Comptroller of the Pentagon Rabbi Dov Zakheim admitted to CBS News that they could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars on DOD spending. Using the works of Catherine Austin Fitts, I estimate that the bankers are allowed to steal at least 3 to 4 billion dollars a week from federal spending which we peasants are not allowed to audit.
On September 11, 2001 four airplanes were electronically hijacked using the Command Transmitter System which remotely takes over airliners that had been hijacked. There had been no hijackings of US passenger jets for many years prior to 911. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology found no Arab DNA on Flight 77 which allegedly hit the Pentagon. Robert Andrews, a former Green Beret, was the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense who commanded US Special Ops forces. He saw a bomb go off that killed the auditors attempting to trace the missing 2.3 trillion dollars. There were no Arabs on the 4 planes on the passenger and crew list published by CNN. Nanothermite which cuts through steel girders at 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2,871 Celsius) in 2 seconds is only available at above top secret labs in the US and Israel. It was found in the dust at the World Trade Center in New York. The Towers were taken down by controlled demolitions.
America has killed millions of Iraqis and Afghans at a cost of 2 trillion dollars for no good reason other than Israel wanted them dead. Israel claims all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates which is presently occupied by 300 million Gentiles. Israel’s goal is to get Americans into one final war in the Mideast. It will be a genocidal attack from which America is intended to suffer a death blow. I need to point out that the purpose of the drones killing innocent civilians is to display American arrogance and contempt for the Muslims so that when the war does start the oppressed people of the region will kill every occupying soldier. This will justify the use of nuclear weapons to exterminate the enemies of Israel. After the genocide is over, those Americans who do not die from starvation and radiation or perhaps a plague can take their place as Debt Slaves to Wall Street. By the way, the Iranians do not have a nuclear weapons program.
We are in the final approach pattern to the planned destruction of the dollar and the enslavement of the American people. Ben Bernanke has said he will be printing even more money and that he will be buying agency paper (FHA, Fannie Mae) from the Hedge Funds at 100 cents on the dollar. The current real inflation rate just passed 12%. In 2 months the Hedge Funds will sell their bonds. They could invest their proceeds in the stock market hoping that Apple will go from 600 to 700 dollars. Since interest rates on ten year bonds have gone up and will likely continue to rise, both the stock market and existing bonds will go down in value. The only safe investment might be commodities and gold and silver bullion. Inflation will pick up as higher fuel prices are passed through the supply chain, Foreigners will accelerate their flight from the dollar into bullion and commodities. This capital flight will spur inflation even further and send the stock market plummeting.
I am of the opinion that the generals and the admirals and the colonels and the naval captains will mutiny rather than commit suicide by attacking Iran.
I have heard several people of late say that things have deteriorated so much in America that the people who knew better but played along with the lies they were told have seen the light. Now these people are finally admitting what the rest of us have known for some time. Our self appointed leaders are stark raving mad and will get us all killed.if we do not say No. The people who have woken to the Truth have not become violent yet. If the politicians ever do give the order to launch World War III by attacking Iran, the US military will muting and arrest everyone in the chain of command who signed off on the internationally recognized crime of preemptive war. This will have to include the bankers who stole tens of trillions of dollars and have committed treason as well.
The dollar will be dead and the economy will need resuscitation to prevent worldwide mass starvation. But at least we will have redeemed ourselves by saying No to launching World War III and killing a few billion people.

Have you been to the grocery store lately? I estimate that the cost of food has risen around 15 – 20% in a month or so. This doesn’t affect rich people at all, nor the comfortably numb, much… at least, yet.
But it will affect the 50% of Americans considered poor or in poverty.
The Baby Eaters don’t mind as I have pointed out here. This is just fresh, juicy morsels to them. But as Franz suggests in the comments here, they will eventually feel the same pain. Too bad it will be too late then. The thing that gets me, tho, about these supposedly “smart people” is that they can’t seem to understand how bad things really are. They tout small, ineffectual “offerings” that are meant to appease the masses, then scurry around to blame Cadillac Queens and the rest of us low-lifes and have not the integrity, wherewithal, or sanity to begin to see the lies for what they are… much less see the travesty about to set forth in America. They are too stupid to understand that they are next. Poor, ignorant bastards.
I want to offer the following video by Snordlehans, which is a take-off of a post done by Videorebel, considering information and inflation percentages from Zero Hedge. The synopsis of the Zero Hedge post is that most of us are about to take a scalping. We are about to see a dollar devaluation, one more obvious than what has been occurring right before our eyes, except the MSM won’t talk about it. We are talking about wages going to half of what they are now. That’s bad enough, but when the rest of the world does what China, Russia and other BRIC nations are doing (ridding themselves of the US Dollar and the investments into our debt), what you see now (as hard as it is for most of us) is a piece of cake.
You want to know why I am on this hell-bent directive to address Paul’s rhetoric? because the more I look into the man, the more I see him being the “Savior” that will actually be “The One” to implement the worst of what is coming. Sure, Obama is a murderer and is bad. But what would be worse is a person whose entire life has been one of this ideological Disney Land… a magical kingdom where everyone has a job… corporations are our friend… rich people care for the indigent and poor…. and there is no sickness… no poor… and everyone is healthy, wealthy and wise.
You know: Never Never Land.
It’s not like this wasn’t seen by some of us. It has been going on in open secrets for a while. I have written about it many times.
Prepare for what you are experiencing right now… but on steroids.
Extremely high costs for the essentials. Food, power, housing… EVERYTHING.
If you are poor (like me or worse, for I am in some of the better shape than most people I know, but I hold no illusions of grandeur that I am immune to the obvious), plan the best you can for the food prices.
And by the way, this IS all orchestrated. Ben Bernanke was clear about what would take place and how. He laid it all out in a Nov 21, 2002 speech at the National Economists Club. He was clear about the road they would take. To understand what he was saying, you must understand that when the Fed buys Treasury Bills, it is monetizing the debt. He breaks it down into 5 points to “make sure deflation doesn’t happen”:
Lower interest rates to near zero (check)
Buy Securities to expand Federal balance sheet (check)
Increase money supply (check)
Buy foreign and domestic government debt (check)
Devalue the Dollar (Next)
The man told us what he was going to do and they have done it. This is all planned. They are destroying the dollar and your lives along with it. But now you have others than a dumb ole redneck telling you.
You know what their plan is. So, what are you going to do about it?
Yesterday Zero Hedge ran a story that most people will never see or really understand. Zero Hedge reported that the Russians have sold off half of their US Treasury bonds over the past year. China has been dumping their dollar holdings too but still have over a trillion dollars left. Other foreigners have been dumping their dollars too. The current US inflation rate is 12%. Ben Bernanke has been creating trillions of dollars to bail out banks in Europe, to buy worthless securities from US banks and to fund the US debt. That will accelerate inflation. Inflation will go from 12% to 15% and then 20% in less than a year. The media will no longer be able to repeat the lie that the inflation rate is only 3 1/2%. Inflation will become an issue in the 2012 races for congress, Senate and the presidency.
Accelerating inflation will force people overseas to dump any dollars they receive for selling Americans food, clothes, electronics, cars, oil and other raw materials as soon the transaction is completed. This phenomenon is called an increase in the velocity of money. It is a sign your economy is transitioning from an inconveniently high rate of inflation to hyperinflation. The US dollar is an international reserve currency which means that if France wants to buy food from Brazil they will likely have to use US dollars to make that transaction. In colonial America the colonists had to earn British pounds or gold to buy something from overseas. Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism described how the US was funding its wars by inflating the supply of currency used to settle trade. Since WW II we have been getting real goods like cars and clothes from foreigners in exchange for increasingly worthless paper. When Hudson explained this to the Pentagon, a general said, “Wow. We are ripping people off.”
I would define hyperinflation as beginning at 25% for an international reserve currency like the dollar. That is why when inflation surged in the latter part of the Carter presidency (1979-1980) Chairman of the Federal Reserve Paul Volcker raised interest rates. Home mortgages went to 15 1/2%. Ben Bernanke cannot raise interest rates today. His only option would be to devalue the dollar which is what he said he would do in that now infamous speech he made in Washington DC on 11-21-2002.
That means after the 2012 elections the Russians, the Chinese, Iran, Venezuela plus their clients states and a few other nations can and will force a devaluation of the dollar by refusing to accept Federal Reserve Notes in international trade. If Americans balk, China just has to dump a hundred billion dollars and buy commodities driving the price of food out of the reach of WalMart shoppers. Of course I realize the Chinese will just be doing what the bankers want them to do.
An international conference will be held at which the dollar will be devalued by about 40% as predicted by Bernanke. This will complete that 50% pay cut I have been predicting.
The Chinese will have dumped most of their dollars before the conference so that their economy will not be harmed by a dollar devaluation. If Americans can’t afford to buy Chinese products, China will just sell them to people whose currencies were revalued upwards.
I would suggest you buy storable food, silver coins (not collectibles) and household items that will just increase in cost.
Of course this was all planned long ago by the bankers. I will conclude with this quote from a previous essay:
The Fundamental Fact of Your Existence as a modern man or woman is that the bankers of New York and London want to reduce you to Debt Slavery.

I use the term “Sheople” quite often to attempt to “grab you by the collar and shake some sense into you”. It is half meant to offend/ half meant to be that slap in the face that brings some sanity to the subject, in hopes that the Sheople will wake up and think thru the meme you are being driven to believe with your entire being. The Sheople allow their Master to control them and as long as that master is evil, the Sheople will do evil stuff.
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
From the comments I am getting from the baby eaters regarding my concerns over Ron Paul’s economic plan, in their never-ending example of love and care for their fellow man (snark), these “goats” are ready, willing and able to watch the starving masses affected by the coming austerity (or Paulsterity, should Ron Paul get elected, because it is coming one way or the other) in a giddy anticipation of their next meal.
This is a very important point, for as a “Christian Nation”, one would surmise that we actually do Christ-like things. I understand that Ron Paul is a Christian, even tho he can hardly get his head out of Ayn Rand‘s ass (and she certainly despised Christians). Isn’t it telling when one’s seemingly favorite thinker goes against the One you claim to follow and try to emulate?
After all the banker bailouts, after the destruction of our economy, these goats are still blaming the sheep for being too lazy and too stupid to “make” their own jobs (note that one has a farm in TN, which I know for a fact can easily come with subsidies… you know, government hand-outs). As a matter of fact, (and this is a subject I am somewhat knowledgeable about since I now own a farm) unless this person owns a gigantic factory farm (making him a liar and part of the problem), I am willing to bet that he, too, has taken from the government (but don’t think for a second you could ever get a liar to admit such). If he is a gigantic factory farm, you KNOW he has received the government dole.
Think of me any way you see fit. I didn’t make up the numbers and I don’t fall all over myself trying desperately to defend the indefensible notions that I point out about Paul’s plan, like these goats who have shown up at the gate do.
There comes a day of judgement, and the goat’s day will be met with the same harsh attitude they have taken against those that are the least of us. They will endure their fate… become the very sheep they scorn… and guess what? They will then be accepted, forgiven, and helped by the very ones that they hate and want dead.

People might think that I am just trying to get published or linked to at other sites that I normally respect, since I have spent the last several days attempting to share my thoughts about Ron Paul’s “Paulsterity” Plan To Restore America. In each and every instance, I share my detail with blogs I frequent and in only one example has anyone actually published my comment and none have followed up per my requests to “check my math”.
I’ll be damned if these very same normally cognizant authors and bloggers seem to have checked their thinking abilities at the door. In a couple of instances, I have seen posts, radio shows and podcasts since my communications with the very same “Paul Is The Savior” type mentality (just like the Obama Maniacs who kept telling us he was the Savior). Not a single example of someone actually checking the math, much less any opinion regarding my claims.
Whatever.
I am little more than a dumb ole redneck. But this dumb ole redneck still appreciates truth and for some reason (as opposed to all these Big Blog owners who refuse to simply check my math and offer an honest opinion) I have shown unequivocably that the rhetoric does not match the print version.
Let me show you just one more example of how you sycophantic and NEEDY people make claims about Paul in the face of his own determined attempts to separate himself from you and your “truth”.
Listen here as he corrects Jake Tapper when it comes to 911 and any idea that an inside job was carried out.
“Now, wait, wait, wait! Don’t go any further on that. That’s complete nonsense!”, said Paul.
“It’s nonsense? It’s not true?” Tapper asked.
“No, I never bought into that stuff, never talked about it. About the conspiracy of Bush — of Bush knowing about this?” Paul responded incredulously. “No, no, come on! Come on! Let’s be reasonable! That’s just off-the-wall!”
Will Alex Jones and company shit a brick? Nope. They will just apologize for him and suggest that he must play this game to get elected and THEN he’ll pursue the truth. How about those at Boing Boing, whom seem to criticize this election process, yet find a way to give Paul props in various ways. Corbett Report???? IntelHub???? Activist Post??? Drug War Rant???? And the plethora of smaller blogs I have shared this with, where are YOU?
When I point out how Paulsterity will ravage poor Americans all I hear is crickets chirping from them all.
I have shared this with MANY sites and NOT A SINGLE ONE HAS RUN WITH IT.

I listened in to the last Raw Dawg Buffalo Radio Show on Thursday night. I had spent a couple of hours reviewing information I was gathering for this post… a post to explain just what I believe will happen as TPTB mind-muck all us rednecks with their dazzling bullshit into accepting the harsh austerity coming in the next year or two.
The first thing that stood out was the fact that most, if not all, the call-ins were pro-Paul (and likely members of the PPPP page of Facebook that I referenced a while back). This is the page that Kelso and Yancey started, in which Ron Paul is the main object of discussion. I was asked to join and did, knowing full well that my opinion would not be welcomed and that since I knew quite a few of the posters there, I also knew their modus operandi when it comes to debate. I did it to be part of an experiment that I knew up front would be bad for me… but I did it anyway.
I was immediately met with obfuscation, mis-direction, dead-end points, straw men arguments, and then the onslaught of the Rothbard Freaks who apparently haven’t enough brain cells to realize that this planet (nor the USA) can ever be that Idyllic Place they (and their freak leader, Rothbard) seem to think we live in. I tried to explain to them at the time that Paul is the “Austerity Bait and Switch” to the previous POTUS fools we have endured over the past several decades or more. I tried to show them that Paul’s platform will be hijacked, if they can’t squash him outright in the prelims. I tried to show that TPTB are not afraid of a Paul’s presidency, for it will play right into the meme. As a matter of fact, I would not be at all surprised to find out that Paul is THEIR man all along.
Why would I feel that, since so many seemingly smart people have totally swallowed the “Change” portion of his platform (they all want to bring us “change”, don’t they?). Why is it that these smart people, many I respect for their thinking ability, can be so gullible and sycophantic? How can these smart people (smarter than I) fall for ANOTHER “sElection” within the corrupt two-party system? How can these same smart people dog the bogusly single-minded, faux two party monstrosity and STILL believe that a solution could EVER come from that very system they disdain so much?
I didn’t want to call in to the show, for I felt I would be met with a knee-jerk negative reaction and that these “smart people” would not want to discuss or even entertain the facts I had to present. So, I fed some detail to Sista GP and Jackson Douglas via the chat window and hoped it would get some discussion as I listened in.
Man o man, did the fireworks light up the sky on the last show (from what I had heard, this was the best show I had ever been a part of or had ever heard on that channel).
To get the details, I cannot recommend enough to listen to this Guns and Butter Interview with Webster G Tarpley:
Mr Tarpley evaluates Paul’s “Plan To Restore America” and does some math. It is here where the “smart people” on the show started to see where this old dumb-ass redneck might be on to something after-all (altho Kelso did his best to simply poo-poo the entire argument, by saying the numbers were off… its Paul’s numbers… heh).
In a nut-shell, Paul’s plan intends to cut $1TRILLION is spending. He tells us about how we need to cut the military and stop “policing the world” (which, of course, I agree with). We need to stop the illegal wars (duh?). We need to cut ALL foreign aid, including (and I applaud) aid to Israel.
Sounds good, huh?
But let’s discuss the OTHER things Paul wants to cut and compare some numbers so that you will understand precisely where I am coming from in my open disdain for the Paul platform (this was initially not the case… I actually liked most of his platform, until I get the numbers). To me, it is not the dollar amount that is the most critical for this explanation, but for us to look at the percentages of cuts to the social network, and THEN compare that to the overall dollar amount.
Cuts:
15% from military
40% from SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program)… insurance for poor kids
35% Medicaid ($276B to be cut by$95B)
63% cut to FoodStamps (cut $53B from the $83B line item)
(I broke this down for the listeners… assuming 50,000,000 Americans on food stamps equals $180/month/person… to be cut to $60/month/person… equals $15/week/person)
Do I have to ask you if you believe (even for a second) that you could feed yourself or child for $15/week?
Paul’s Plan Caters To The Rich and to speculators… kills off poor folk
Paul wants to keep the Bush Tax Cuts
Abolish Capital gains
Abolish Estate Tax
Cut corporate taxes from an estimated 35% (that many never pay to begin with) to 15%
Wants to entice corporations to “come back to America” and will not tax for their foreign profits
(All the above will NOT help a single poor person/family I know. It is simply tax relief for the rich and corporations, but not for individuals)
Cut Foreign Aid
We might initially all applaud the tactic of stopping ALL foreign aid, especially when it is related to continuing the support of the murderous apartheid Israel. But what if you knew that America provides about 57% of the aid that goes to feed starving children in the world? Is it the sign of a “Christian Nation” when we starve the children that need the help, when we are spending arguably $1TRILLION/year in military alone? Can we not see the ludicrousness in spending all that money to maim and kill innocent children and THEN to also take away what little support we offer for the starving and sick ones?
Deregulation/Privatization
We have gone thru a few decades of continual deregulation and privatization. To a point now that we are experiencing the repercussions of those decisions. Paul would have us believe that we need to dismantle even MORE regulations. To free up these criminal assholes to steal even MORE of your money.
It is the deregulation that led to this very financial crash and your newest Hopey Changer wants MORE.
Libertarian Versus Progressive
One of my favorite “progressive” writers is Stephen Lendman. He wrote an excellent piece today that delves into this very subject. Please read:
That is an excellent article and approaches some of the same details I wrote of here.
Sure, he keeps talking about abolishing or reigning in The Fed. But in my opinion, The Fed is on its last legs, anyway. The entire system is being brought to a crash, after they squeeze as much out of it as they can. I have no doubt that ending The Fed could very well be part of the overall New World Order Agenda.
And don’t you worry your little self over those poor bankers who will seemingly take a hit when The Fed goes down and is replaced by some international banking cartel. Believe me, they will be eating just fine as you and your children suffer what could culminate in this.
A Bushie equals an Obama Maniac equals a Paul Bot.
’nuff said.
Let’s make a deal… let’s decide we are going to do things differently. Let’s decide that we cannot trust the reTHUGlican and demoRAT Parties. Let us never allow a R or D to be elected in office again. Something different is needed and us doing the same old same old is a sure sign we have become insane as a country.
You want something different, right? Some change?
How about you and I grow us some “Big Balls” and send these maniacs packing?

I’ve watched over the last 4 years, and sometimes wrote and commented about how ‘bad’ things are in my neck of the woods. Some understood what I was talking about as they’ve watched many in their own areas struggle to make ends meet during this most recent depression. However, I dont think many understood completely what I was seeing in my area.
The city I grew up in, Columbus Georgia, which I now live 15 miles to the north of has been hit hard. While the local news along with the mainstream news continues to paint a rosy picture, many know the rose is dead.
Columbus Georgia in it’s heyday was a bustling textile / mill town. It was also called a military town due to the adjacent Fort Benning Georgia. In all respects it is now only a military town. The mills shout down and moved off shore. What local business that remained through the years, many have closed their doors, unable to compete with the big box stores, or off shored the labor as well.
There are a few big name companies in Columbus Georgia. Few of them hire folk that worked in the mills due to lack of formal education, or who recently left the military and stuck around. We have AFLAC which insures more than 60 million people worldwide. We have TSYS the largest processor of merchant acquirers and bank credit card issuers. We have Synovus which is a a financial services company. Synovus laid off 850 employees and closed multiple bank branches in early 2011. We have what is left of the W. C. Bradley Co. the maker of ‘Char-Broil grill’. I say what is left because W. C. Bradley moved Char-Broil grill production from Georgia to China in 2006. The Char-Broil division is still headquartered in Columbus but the jobs are in China. Columbus is also the birth place of Coca Cola and RC Cola. My how times have changed.
To be honest with you, there isn’t much left around here other than civilian employment at the Army base, Ft. Benning. This was one of the main reasons I am so pissed off about the illegal immigration situation in this country, let alone my neck of the woods. No jobs, yet they let the illegals stay and take them. I mentioned this countless times on my old blog. If it weren’t for Ft. Benning, as much as I hate the military industrial complex [MIC], Columbus in my eyes would have been another Detroit. Detroit is number 18 on the list, which I might add, most of us have heard how bad it is/was in Detroit the past year or so. Ghost town
Over on The Daily Beast, they have just released a list of 30, what they call ‘America’s Brokest Cities’. Four of Americas brokest cities reside in Georgia and many more are throughout the southeast.
To find the most struggling cities in the country, we used three data points weighted equally: the most recently available unemployment rate (August 2011), median household income, and average debt. Data is from a recent report by Experian and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average credit score for each city is included in the gallery, though not taken into account to determine the final ranking. If this data is any indication, the cities struggling the most right now—the ones that may take the longest to recover—are clustered in the South and along the Pacific Coast.
#1, Columbus, Ga.
Unemployment: 9.8%
Median household income: $36,553
Average personal debt: $27,928
Average credit score: 721
#10, Augusta, Ga.
Unemployment: 9.6%
Median household income: $44,477
Average personal debt: $26,204
Average credit score: 709
#14, Macon, Ga.
Unemployment: 10.4%
Median household income: $37,507
Average personal debt: $23,775
Average credit score: 715
#25, Savannah, Ga.
Unemployment: 9.5%
Median household income: $46,755
Average personal debt: $25,561
Average credit score: 716
Of course the 1% in Columbus dont see it that way. Of course they have no idea what the other 99% are going through. Here is what the current Mayor has to say.
Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson called the article "patently absurd" and "irresponsible".
"We know for certain that their data is wrong. The median income figure and the employment rate are not correct. Accordingly, we have no reason to believe their so-called ‘personal debt' level is current. Probably the most telling error is that even using their own incorrect data, their math is wrong. So, by the article's own alleged three-pronged criteria, Columbus is not the ‘brokest' on the list, much less America," Mayor Tomlinson explains.
"The numbers presented show there is no rational basis for the approach used. The slightest change, such as using the more accepted debt-to-income ratio instead of the personal debt amount dramatically adjusts the ranking. Including the referenced, but mysteriously excluded, ‘credit score' in the computation also dramatically adjusts the ranking. If there was any legitimate statistical point to be made here, the rankings would not fluctuate so when similar or related data is used", continued Mayor Tomlinson.
Yep, just like the rest of the 1%, 'those numbers are wrong'.

We all knew this was coming. I was waiting for one of the talking heads to come out and say it. I know others have mentioned the coming double dip recession / depression, but in my eyes only in passing. In passing, because they, just like here have been sounding the alarm for years now. This however is different to me, we have a time frame to work with; "the next quarter or two" Based on this, early or late spring seems to be the due date.
So just as before, let the distractions begin. There will be many coming our way in the months leading up to the due date of the double dip recession. I expect things to really heat up in the new year 2012 in January, as millions loose their unemployment benefits. If you haven’t prepared as suggested many many times here at ‘BuelahMan’s Revolt’, time is running out. I think I’ll invest in some more silver myself before the end of the year.
“The world’s advanced economies are headed for a second recession, regardless of whether there is further chaos in Europe, noted economist Nouriel Roubini told CNBC on Tuesday.”
“Roubini — who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, but has got some other bearish calls wrong — said his reading of recent data suggested the U.S., euro zone, and the U.K. are already on the verge of falling into a recession in the next quarter or two.”
“The question is not whether or if there is going to be a double dip, but whether it’s going to be mild or severe with another financial crisis,” Roubini told CNBC on the sidelines of the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul. “The answer on that depends on the euro zone.”
Regardless of what camp you’re in (double dip, weak growth, muddle through, etc.) it seems that the question of whether the eurozone will produce some kind of event shock is a huge one. Even the muddle-through, no recession folks can’t discount the possibility of something disorderly happening, causing a crisis.
And so the world waits quietly on tiny Slovakia to save it.

Where once you’ve lost everything, you cant even live on public land in peace. Public land your taxes paid for, while you were a good little worker bee.
This is but one ‘Tent City’ that has sprung up in the past years. There will be more in the future of this recovering? eCONomy. Many of these homeless camps scattered across the greatest nation on earth house not only discarded adults, but their children as well.
From looking at the pictures included in this article, these homeless folk have it much better than their counterparts in similar situations. Most homeless folk dont have half the luxuries, or for that matter, a store of food. Maybe that is why the powers that be found it necessary to destroy some of what they had. Cant have a homeless person living in a somewhat comfortable setting.
Tent City made the news recently and while community leader Steven Brigham says the media attention brought in greater donations, it also brought unwanted attention from the local politicians.
After battling with the city for years to have access to the public land here, Brigham found a New Jersey lawyer to represent his case pro bono.
The attorney, Jeff Wild, argued that the homeless population are part of the public and should therefore have access to public lands. Rather than take the case to court, Lakewood City Council settled, and Brigham signed an agreement to put up no more shelters and allow no more than 70 people to stay.
But last winter the community put up three wooden structures to house everyone and keep them warm.
This year could be different. After City Council members saw the shelters on TV, they sent demolition crews in. The walls were torn down around whatever was inside, and meager furnishings were left to the elements.

(Beware: the above link takes you to a Dr Paul Roberts article at Infowars)
There is a group of “persons” who have been able to gain control over every branch of our government. In an orchestrated and vicious take-over, Corporations have been able to buy the servants, making it possible to strip away Labor’s collective advantage of control. Corporations (persons) have rights that you and all us rednecks have. I contend that they have more rights than regular human beings, as a matter of fact.
This melding of Corporations and our government puppets is Fascism 101 and certainly isn’t good for normal, everyday rednecks like me. It always leads to poverty for the common man and eventually slavery and death. Yes, Labor is Dead and should be mourned as such.
So, as we celebrate this day with picnics, parades, and frivolous activities, I ask you to take a moment to mourn the loss of Labor Day and it’s true meaning and to say a silent prayer for the unemployed whose loss of dignity may take decades to recover.
I have worked for decades without stop. Until this year, I have never drawn unemployment compensation and will be losing whats left of those benefits soon. I will need to re-invent myself, yet again, for the 5th time (having experienced industry job losses in various sectors now in Asian and Mexico). This is getting old and anyone actually paying attention knows that it will only get worse.
In contrast, there are those who thought that 2011 was going to be a good year (I made this screenshot of a friend’s FB post on New Year’s Day):
Wonder how my friend feels today? Did great things occur for him? Does he believe that those of us struggling are simply upset because things aren’t “perfect”? Does he believe that simply by “believing” good things will happen?
Well, maybe for corporations.
Corporate profits are up 22%. I assume, then, that YOUR “profits” are up, as well, correct? I know that my “profits” are soaring right into oblivion.
Happy Death of American Labor & The Middle Class Day
Even if you do still have a job, are you experiencing the Great SpeedUp? Are they pushing you harder and harder but offering less and less compensation for that work?
Worse, yet, are you one of those (like a lady I spoke with this past week), who insisted that she was sick and tired of those people using unemployment and the system when they should be working. Or the very old lady who insisted those living in the duplexs and low-income housing are not trying and especially since they are black (which, the majority is NOT black) they are just lazy (yes, she said it).
People are brainwashed. People are racist. People regurgitate the garbage they hear on TV and believe it to be the truth.
But we better wake up and realize that these TV goons, the government criminals, and the complicit Sheople who fall for every smooth talking politician/TV anchor are lying to us. They have been lying to us all along.As Dr Roberts points out in that first link (sorry, its InfoWars) they lie about unemployment numbers and when forced to correct it at the end of the year, there is no mainstream coverage.
It is a Death-ocracy (I especially enjoyed his explanation of how it is truly falling apart and you should try to prepare as you can):

I spent a lifetime improving myself, pursuing something a little better, reaching it, then going for more. A little better education… a little better jobs… a little better quality of life…
…only to have criminals take over our country and rip apart each and every level of “betterment” I had achieved.
I have worked my fingers to the bare bone and it hasn’t been worth it. How about you?
Bony Fingers
by Hoyt Axton
Rain coming down and the roof won’t hold her
Well I lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won’t run and our love’s grown colder
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
Maybe things will get a little better
The clothes need washing and the fire won’t start
Kids all crying and you’re breaking my heart
Whole damned place is falling apart but
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
Maybe things will get a little better
Chorus:
Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
Bony fingers, bony fingers
I’ve been broke just as long as I remember
Well I get a little money; I gotta run and spend her
When I try to save it pretty woman come and take it
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
Maybe things will get a little better
Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
Bony fingers, bony fingers
Grass won’t grow and the sun’s too hot
The whole darned world is going to pot
You might as well like it cause I’m all that you’ve got
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
Maybe things will get a little better
Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
Bony fingers, bony fingers
Rain coming down and the roof won’t hold her
Well I lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won’t run and our love’s grown colder
Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
Maybe things will get a little better
Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
Bony fingers, bony fingers
Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
Bony fingers, bony fingers
Here’s another funny way to look at it:
Think I’ll fire one up, like in the cartoon, and enjoy the last little part before the thud.

Credit rating agency S&P downgrades US debt from AAA, first debt downgrade in US history ! The United States of America is now rated AA+ with negative outlook by Standard & Poor’s.
The Hurt is only beginning. What we have witnessed in the past 4 years means absolutely nothing. You can expect everything form bread to gas to sky rocket. I hope you have been paying attention and have your shit together, for now the shit is about to hit the proverbial fan.

WHile rulers and runners of America’s economy continue to use scare tactics on the American sheople fearing default, no one really gives a rats ass. Why should we ? There is nothing an average Joe can do about it; is there. Whether the U.S defaults or not, average people are still hurting and will continue hurting. Sure a default would make the pain worse for average Joes but that would also hurt Big Government, which is why it will not occur. Besides, they will raise the debt limit whether you are against it or not. This campaign for recovery and spending is like many of the other campaigns, even elections. It is to make you think you have a choice, a say in the matter, which in reality we know we don’t.
But what of a ‘credit rating downgrade’. The pain is going to get worse and it isn’t going to hurt ‘big government’. Why ? Because they will continue spending and getting loans although at a higher interest rate, passing the higher cost on to the sheople. In other words, The shit is going to hit the fan again for average Joes, and there is nothing you can do about it other than tighten your belt around your already thinning waist. Again!
Nothing is going to change for ‘big government’. They’ll still have and keep their jobs. They’ll still be getting fat off the hard work of average Americans. They’ll still be funding wars and bullshit programs that benefit only the rich. They’ll still live in the big houses and drive the fancy cars, and take those extravagant vacations to tropical destinations and snow capped mountains. All the while, the average Joe will once again be required to decide whether to pay the power bill, or splurge on some beans and rice like third would sheople.
It’s coming again folks, make no mistake about it. Jobs will be cut. Unemployment will rise. Prices will rise. Families will loose their homes. This is what a downgrade will do. If there were ever a default of payment, which if it happened once would continue down a slippery slope, we would be shit out of what little luck some of is have.
The thing here is, even if the debt ceiling is raised, they will still cut the programs that average Joes depend on. Funding for the military industrial complex, the police state, the black ops, the salaries of the assholes running the show will not be affected. Matter of fact, they’ll probably pat each other on the back, smile, and give each other a raise and a hand-job.
