Is It Too Late To Save America… Or Were We Doomed From The Very Beginning?
It appears too late for me and my family to go back to what I work towards for over 30 years. Its virtually all gone now. In response to a direct question about what I do for a living, after discussing with the author about his post here, I sent this reply in an email:
You asked what I do for a living. After preparing myself for and then chasing the American Dream (TM) since I was 13 (that is how long I worked), I lost my career as a high tech systems integrator in automation and robotics. I worked my way thru college, paid all my student loans, then went from one industry to the next as each was off-shored (textiles, pc boards, heavy machining, furniture, boating, automotive, etc) reinventing and reinvesting in myself (to date, I have spent over $100K in education and hold three college degrees and multiple extra training courses in a variety of curriculum related to automated manufacturing and robotics). I realized early on that Ross Perot was correct and lived the sucking sound trying my best to stay ahead of the game and find an industry that would stay.
I eventually created my own business in 2003 that catered to virtually any type of automation and human assist in production. I advised customers of how to automate certain processes, designed systems to do it, then sold the system to the customer. This lasted until 2009, where I had to file bankruptcy due to credit cards which were used to pay extreme medical expenses (our BCBS premium at the time was over $1200/month) and with several surgeries that my wife had to have for her scoliosis (which is worse now than ever before).
In 2009, a systems integrator hired me to work for them, basically selling their automation systems. Almost one year later, they assembled the three salesmen and project managers and laid us all off, while holding us to the non-compete. It took over a year in court for me to get paid the money and commissions I brought them in less than a year.
Most of the competition has closed their doors, as well, and there are none hiring me. I have a proven track record and have made myself and others a great deal of money.
The problem is being self-employed, taxes and insurance will break you. One small health issue and it is a down hill slide from that point on. Then, as 2008′s crash hit us, everything began to fall apart and from every indication, it won’t be coming back any time soon.
I realized long ago that the old two party meme was a sham and that the corporations have indeed taken over politicians.
Socialism would be a dream compared to what we are experiencing, which is Fascism 101.
Sorry this is so long, but thanks for your inquiry. Maybe this can help explain why I am so pissed off.
I have never been lazy. I have always worked my butt off, pursuing the American Dream Lie. But now, I am doing what I can to make ends meet and feed my family. I believe that Fascism has already hit America. It may very well be too late to stop it, but what if we could?
Some ( like Charlie McGrath below) will say that it is all over and that the hammer falls soon just like it is already falling in Greece (I tend to agree with this sentiment):
If you still believe that the economy is turning around and getting better, read this and check yourself.
So, is there something anything that we, as American citizens can do? Would it make any difference if we do what I suggest and NEVER VOTE FOR AN R OR D AGAIN? What if we actually vetted politicians in the way Kenny suggests by asking all the right questions:
Are you going to call for an end to the illegal wars and to bring all of our troops home now?
Gonna take any money from AIPAC? Take a trip to Israel? Got the courage to stand up to the Israeli lobby? Wanna fight another war for Israel? Got a kid of your own to sacrifice for the cause? Have an opinion on the phrase “We’re all Palestinians now?”
Iran? Syria? Please don’t give me the same old lines.
What about the Federal Reserve and Wall Street? Trillions stolen? The usury scam? Debt slavery? You’re either with us or against us .It really is the 0.001% vs all the rest.
War on Drugs? Medical marijuana and full legalization? Afghan heroin, CIA smuggling, cartel enabling, big bank drug money laundering?
GMO’s, vaccines, FDA corruption, aspartame, fluoride water, factory farms, food freedom? The crimes of Monsanto and their ilk?
War on Terror, TSA, FBI setups, Homeland Security, Patriot Act, NDAA, NSA, internet censorshp, etc. etc. etc.?
The UN, globalism, neocons, neolibs, sociopaths, psychopaths, social engineering, mind control, nefarious agendas, world banks, world government, world order?
Media lies, media whores, media crimes?
Blackmail of and bribes to politicians for control? How would you handle threats against you and yours for not going along with the big money flow?
Heck, the bill of rights? Seems like every one of them is under assault. Got a problem with rational, logical, common sense interpretations of our basic freedoms?
There’s this little litmus test that I must always bring up. 9/11. It’s a make or break vote here Park. Step up … OK? Look into false flags if you haven’t. There’s a lot to learn.
I would say that if they fail any of the litmus test, they should receive ZERO votes. On the other hand, is there enough thinking people around to understand these pertinent questions?
Webster Tarpley also lays out a plan to help correct what has happened. You can listen to the interview for a run down at “To Cut Gas Price in Half Now, Ban Commodity Index Swaps and Synthetic Exchange-Traded Funds as Toxic Derivatives; Make CFTC Impose 100% Margin and 5% Position Limits; Collect 1% Wall Street Sales Tax“. He also points out the fraud that is Ron Paul along with the other “reactionary hyenas”.
And btw: Paulsterity comes, whether or not it is Ron Paul, Paul Ryan or any of the criminals who have you brainwashed. Stephen Lendman lays it out perfectly:
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 62% of Ryan’s cuts come from “programs for lower-income Americans.” Over 10 years, it slashes $5.3 trillion from non-defense areas. At the same time, he allocates an additional $200 billion for defense and imperial wars with automatic add-ons annually plus unknown tens of billions in black budgets.
Specific proposed cuts include:
(1) $2.4 trillion from Medicaid and other low or moderate household income healthcare programs. Medicaid loses $810 billion. By repealing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion and subsidies for those most in need to buy health insurance, he gets another $1.6 trillion.
(2) $1.2 trillion from programs other than Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs.
(3) $134 billion from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food stamp aid. If enacted, up to 10 million recipients would be entirely shut out.
(4) At least $463 billion from other programs serving America’s most needy, other than Medicaid and SNAP.
(5) At least another $291 billion in low-income discretionary programs, including Pell Grant tuition aid for needy students.
Ryan directs his cuts at vulnerable households unable to get by on what he wants reduced or eliminated. Millions will lose healthcare. Millions more won’t have enough to eat and will be dependent on what food banks provide. Education will suffer more than already. Poor students will have to forego it altogether.
He also explains that the Dems are virtually lock-step, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to the ObamaManiacs:
What Democrats endorse isn’t much better. Timing mostly differs to get past November elections.
For starters, Obama and Democrats agreed to the following cuts over the next decade:
- $4 trillion overall:
- $770 billion from education, environmental, transportation, and other infrastructure cuts, as well as lower wages and benefits for federal workers when they need more, not less;
- $480 billion from Medicare and Medicaid, besides another $1 trillion from Obamacare;
- $360 billion from mandated domestic programs, including food stamps, home heating assistance, income for the poor and disabled, federal pension insurance, and farm subsidies; and
- $400 billion from military-related spending from unneeded weapons, as well as healthcare and other benefits for active service members and veterans.
Is the answer bailing out of here? Some have told me to leave this country before its too late. Don Lucas wrote me and told me his story:
Mr. Buelahman,I enjoy reading your site. My bio in a nutshell. Christian 45 years, lived in Christian commune in early 70′s 3 years, 9 years military, 18 prison guard, now semi-retired ( I work at painting and repairs when I can). In the 90′s I was a far right Christian patriot. I wrote tracts about the Founding Fathers and Constitutional liberties. During Bushes second term (in my ignorance and single issue ‘pro-life’, I voted for the lessor of two evils thinking erroneously that I was doing Gods will.I have had a life long love of history, politics, and religion etc. I firmly believe that to vote for a candidate who by his words and/or actions will start and/or continue the US Wars of Aggression against poor people in order to steal their resources is morally wrong and refuse to participate.Enough of the bio. IMO, the US can’t be fixed. There is not enough will or enough patriots to overthrow the government etc. We will follow the example of all know empires and fall, except because of our shrinking world ie communications, our monster size military and all of it controlled by the bankers and corporate Amerika the fall will be more rapid.OK to the point. I encourage you and those you love to leave the US. I have lived in Colombia SA for a year. My wife is Colombian, which is of course a big help. My Spanish is coming along well. We plan to return to the US during 2012 and then return to Ecuador and Peru looking for a country in which to put down roots. I encourage you to do the same. My friend you can’t believe how free you feel living in South or Central America. You can do it on the cheap. You can live well on $1200 a month. Medical care is first rate and the climate, depending on your location is fantastic, the people are friendly and if you chose a country like Belize (English speaking, a big plus), Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, etc you will find many expats to converse with.Just a little something for you to think about. As for me, I’ve made my choice and do not miss living in a police state one bit.If you would like further info on leaving or have any questions, feel free to email.God bless you
I explained all the issues that make leaving America impossible for me and my family. But don’t think for a second that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind numerous times.
But the sad fact is that even if you wanted leave, they are making it as difficult as possible for you to do so.
I feel as if I must ride it out and tell others about what I know and understand. Its all probably just a waste of time (I know several folks who have given up on educating others), but I have two main reasons for doing so: I don’t want my fellow Americans to starve and come to a horrible end AND I have a child that I want to know that I did what I could to stop it. For some day, she will ask me what I did to try and correct what has occurred. I will be able to show her and explain to her the effort I put into this blog and to local folks.
I asked in the Header, “Were We Doomed From The Very Beginning”? If you want a really wild explanation for why I am beginning to think so, read this excellent post, entitled, “The Constitution Con“. Many of the points I already knew, but it brings a new understanding to the Founding Fathers and their motivations.
I also recently listened to this interview that Charlie McGrath did with Stephan Molyneux and it is enlightening, especially in its discussion of minarchism and anarchism. They also hit on the subject linked above.

Ron Paul On The Global Financial Crisis: “it’s worse than anything that’s ever existed in the world before”
He made no understatement. I have said it countless times and have been met with incredulity by even some of my bestest friends I grew up with. Chicken Little, etc
This is only $15 TRILLION
Simply by considering the $1.4Quadrillion derivative monster about to be awakened (which hardly anyone talks about… we’re so stuck on a few measely TRILLION), there can be no 
doubt that the crisis (yes, we ARE right smack-dab in the middle of a financial crisis, unlike anything EVER experienced before in the world’s history… this is no exaggeration) will cause untold misery for the poor folk (especially us poor folk in the deep south).
Northerntruthseeker links us to a site that delves into just how bad America has it (the truth of the depth of this crisis will never be found on your TV). It suggests that America’s problems are as bad, or likely worse than Greece’s. However, the ability to print our own Dollar, which is also still the world’s trading currency, by and large (at least for just a bit longer) keeps us afloat, while the Euro is just about ready to implode.
I have said many times that we are experiencing the biggest bank heist the world could ever even imagine. These bastards are slowly but surely taking as much of this free interest money being printed and are buying up assets. The problem is that each and every one of those dollars being printed causes each and every one to devalue (because they are worth nothing and backed by nothing). And, this is purposeful.
This is not a few patriotic Americans doing everything they can to save our financial system, no matter how much Fox News, CNN and the other ass-smooching MSM clowns want you to believe such an obvious lie. It is the exact opposite of that. This is an orchestrated heist, with a purpose of devaluing the currency until it is totally worthless, yet these bankers will own any decent property, business, etc. This heist is not simply in America, either. They are coordinating the fall of the Euro, as well.
THEN, and only then, will they implement the new global currency.
One doesn’t have to believe aangirfan’s linked information. One doesn’t have to believe this ole redneck. Just look at the preparations being made in Switzerland. They are preparing for a Euro crash. (ON a side note, Bush won’t go to Switzerland for a Jewish knob-hobbing cause he believes that they will arrest his sorry ass for torture and war crimes.) h/t Snippits and Slappits. Again, dreams I’ll never see (but want to, desperately).
Consider the recent Senate actions on S. 1867 and the closed meetings that the subsequent House committee is taking, as to not allow some of the details regarding indefinite detention to be aired to the public, and the fact that the White House’s aversion (threat to veto the bill) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Constitutional rights, but to gain even MORE power by having the House committee strip the language that intimates that these in detention will be prisoners of war. You see, POW’s have more rights than belligerents or enemy combatants and this is a distinction the Obama Administration must dictate in order to be able to continue the constitutionally destructive policies.
I am amazed at those who still trust these criminals who are dismantling our Constitution. This site uses the same initial argument I used against over-reacting: the meaning of the word “Requirement” in Section 1032. Quoting from that section:
“the requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not apply to citizens of the United States.”
As has been noted everywhere, it may not be a requirement, but it is still up to the discretion of the decision maker. I read in the above link something like the following and I can’t help but think that the author is about as in touch with reality as the vast majority of government-worshipping a-holes who have championed the very demise of the Constituion they are touting:
Moreover, we would encourage everyone to think about the oath of office that many federal officials take, including all members of Congress. Remember, they are sworn “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Those who are engaged in war against the United States are just such enemies, whether they are citizens or not.
We often disagree with the government, but that is not the same thing as being at war with it. Let’s not scare people into lessening the few protections we have against those who are dedicated to destroying our way of life.
Just who is it that is “dedicated to destroying our way of life“? Is it all the FBI-led, set-up, patsies or the very ones who are dismantling our Constitution? There has not been a single attempt at terrorism in this country that wasn’t instigated and controlled by our own government. Duh!
There is no name given as author, so I can’t address the individual, but whomever wrote those few lines are either the most complicit of ass-kissing sycophantic government worshipers or a totally inept fool. I, myself, made that same commitment to protect the Constitution many years ago and I have kept it for my entire life. Is this yahoo going to suggest that those who are dismantling our rights are giving the same commitment to protecting the Constitution as I did? This person must already have a cush government job awaiting in the wings, for stupidity cannot fully explain what he/she is suggesting.
Look, it doesn’t take a genius to know that something very detrimental to our inalienable rights are being carried out. This has been going on for decades. I wrote about this yesterday and showed that they have been doing this since before 911 (and those who pay attention know its been much longer than that). If we aren’t facing some sort of real problem, then why would MTV (of all outlets) be making commercials about Martial Law? Two suggestions: Information or Scare Tactic. h/t Activist Post
