CRITICAL!!! Bill Quietly Moving Forward During Debt Ceiling Theater

The debt ceiling fiasco serves the government in many ways, not just the reasons outlined previously. While everyone talks about the debt ceiling that will be raised anyway these are the real laws being passed.

Currently moving forward from committee in the house is a bill that forces ISP's to record everyone's every internet move for twelve months and makes them accessible to government entities such as law enforcement.  You'll find the bill here.

It's funny, because this bill doesn't really stop anything illegal from happening online.  If a criminal wanted to stay anonymous, they could use a Proxy Server, a VPN connection, or they could just walk into a Starbucks and use their wireless.

Did you notice the name of the Bill?  The "Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011."  Are they protecting children from viewing internet pornography?  Or are they wording it so it sounds like they're protecting children from child pornographers?  That's funny, because this bill does neither of those things.  How about a quote from the article:

"The bill is mislabeled," said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the panel. "This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes."

Knowing that we can't stop any relatively smart criminal engaged in illegal activity online; what might those "other purposes" be?  My guess is that the main purpose is to track and ultimately crack down on individuals that challenge the status quo.  Even just today the South Carolina Police were on alert after a political activitst 'liked' an article on Facebook.  Hell, just for having this blog I could be labeled a "Terrorist."  Once they label me a terrorist they can lock me up indefinitely without charging me, or having any evidence that I've done something illegal.  They can already detain anyone indefinitely, they were just waiting for an efficient solution to find out who to detain.

Bye Bye rule of Law, I hardly knew ye

Silence Is Golden

It's becoming glaringly obvious that the mainstream media doesn't report what's important to the slave working class anymore.  Oh sure, there are small pieces of truth here and there, but did you read about anything that actually affected your life recently?  How much time last week was spent in the mainstream talking about the Casey Anthony case?  Does that case have ANY effect on your life? 

There are endless examples of misinformation, spin, and outright avoidance of important issues in our lives.  Thanks to the Internet, the common man can still find this information.  If it wasn't for the Internet, we wouldn't have this swell of people waking up to the lies spouted all around them.

The first topic that comes to mind is the nuclear one.  How many of you have heard of the flooding problems in the Fort Calhoun Nuclear plant in Nebraska last month?  It was a topic on Alternative media for weeks before enough pressure built up on the mainstream to produce minimal and downplaying reports.

What about Fukushima?  We haven't heard anything in the media for months on this issue.  Most people would assume that this means that the problem has been resolved and we're out of the woods.  I'm afraid not.  The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster has gotten so bad that a Japanese nuclear director has recently stated that those living in Fukushima Prefecture don't have a right to live without massive radiation. 

Update: Radiation Detected at the Base of Ventilation Stack for Reactors 1 and 2 shows 10 Sv/hr.  This is the Maximum threshold of their Geiger Counters and thus, is likely higher.  As Wikipedia Shows, with 6-18 minutes of exposure to this level of radiation you would experience symptoms such as "Mild to severe nausea, loss of appetite, infection; more severe bone marrow, lymph node, spleen damage; recovery probable, not assured."  After a mere 36 minutes at 10Sv/hr a person would experience "central nervous system impairment, death expected."  After an hour or more "Incapacitation and Death Occur."

All we heard in the media was the President talking about how the radiation wouldn't make it here.  If he was right, then why did the EPA quickly raise radiation limits?  As you can see below, radiation from Japan has made it to North America.

I could write a whole article about Fukushima and the silence by itself, but I'll leave that for another day.

How about the biggest energy crisis before this, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.  We haven't heard anything about this for months or over a year in most cases.  Apparently the Mainstream is ignoring the continuing health crisis for the residents of the area.

How about recent evidence that the GOP allegedly rigged the 2004 election?  Are you surprised?  Don't be.

Have you ever thought about why these issues aren't being covered? 

The simplest question and the one you should ask yourself in EVERY problem is "cui bono," or in English, who benefits?

Remember what class the editors and anchors fall under.  Do you think it affects them if main street is being slaughtered?  Of course not, which is why you'll see minimal reporting regarding it.  Yet how much reporting do you see that concerns wall street?  You could turn to any mainstream station at any given time and 90% of the time you'll see news concerning wall street.

Heck, just spend one hour of your day researching the Rupert Murdoch (owner of News Corp, which owns FOX, New York Times, Dow Jones, etc.) scandal in the UK.  Do you think it's any different here?  This is how the mainstream media does business.
This is why alternative and local citizen driven media is so important in our time.  Did you know that you can find the best information on YouTube?  Go ahead and try it.  This is why the government is working so hard to shut down the Internet and the ability of you and me to speak about what is important to us.  The more citizens report what they see, the more truth comes out.  It's up to each and every one of us to start throwing our money and time towards citizen reporters and Internet freedom.  The more people communicate without major media, the more we realize that people across the world want the same things.  We don't want to kill each other.  All we want are the basics; food, water, shelter, love and family.

Mainstream media survives off of us.  It's time to cut the umbilical cord.

The Debt Cieling Theater

How many of you think the debt ceiling scare tactics debate is a serious one? Well I hate to burst your bubble, but this is just another political act to steal your money.

Update: A Great analysis showing the debt deal as a total sham

Down to the basic issue.... How do we fix a debt problem with more debt? That's akin to giving a crack addict more crack so they don't get sick. Once he's out of that, you'll have to give the addict more and more and more. Eventually, there isn't enough crack in the world to satisfy the addict, and he goes into withdrawals and gets sick anyway. That's exactly what we're going here. You can't fix a debt problem with more debt, it's impossible.

What would happen if we didn't raise the ceiling? There would certainly be a lot of effects, but Obama's scare tactic that Social Security Checks won't go out just doesn't hold water unless we've been lied to this whole time.  What happened to the $2.6 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund? To Quote Forbes:

"Social Security status-quo defenders have assured us for the past 25 years that Social Security is fully funded—for the next 25 years, or 2036. So if there are real assets in the Social Security Trust Fund—$2.6 trillion allegedly—then how could failure to reach a debt-ceiling agreement possibly threaten seniors’ Social Security checks?

The answer is that the federal government has borrowed all of that trust fund money and spent it, exactly as Krauthammer asserted. And the only way the trust fund can get some cash to pay Social Security benefits is if the federal government draws it from general revenues or borrows the money—which, of course, it can’t do because of the debt ceiling."

So basically the government has been stealing "borrowing" our retirement money. Another reason they have to raise the debt ceiling is because if they don't they're going to have a LOT of angry people knocking at their door and asking them where their hard earned money is.

Let's pull a quote from one of my favorite blogs and an every day must-read, Fiat's Fire.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." - Senator Obama, March, 2006

So there you have it from the Prez himself.  I wonder what changed his tune?  I think this change of tune is due to the people yanking his chain.  Obviously, if he believed that statement then we wouldn't be going through this debt ceiling crap.  As stated earlier, you don't solve a debt problem with more debt.  But then again, without more debt the people running the banks (ed note: the Chain yankers) will have to settle for a JetStream 4 instead of a Jetstream 5 for their private jets.

Is anyone familiar with the Term "Problem, Reaction, Solution?"  This is a perfect example of that idea in action.  First we come up with a manufactured problem, the debt ceiling.  From this problem spawns all the drama that has been bantered about every couple of months.  Then they roll out the solution, which was the goal all along.  The ruling class wants our earned entitlement money.  Since they already have it, they create this problem and then have a solution that they need to steal reform the entitlement system because of this manufactured problem.  That way they get to keep the money they stole from us already without anyone noticing.

Does anyone still think this is a real problem?  It's a problem for them.  But for the working class in America... we don't need it.  We are past the point of no return anyway, extending the status quo just makes the rich and powerful more rich and powerful and the slave working class poorer and more indebted.  Welcome to America!

Who is Anonymous?!

If you've listened to the bull**** mainstream media, you might think that anonymous is a group of traitors/hackers/prank artists.  Well, you would be mostly wrong.  They might be traitors to the government, but has anyone considered that the government itself is now treasonous?  They ignore the constitution every time it doesn't benefit them.  It is now time to take our power back from this treasonous beast ourselves.  As Thomas Jefferson once said... "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. " or "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."

Like the end of the movie states, anonymous is not a person, or even a group of people.  It is the idea of a means to take our power back.  Wasn't government created to serve the people?  Well, it doesn't serve the people any longer and the only way to get it back is to fight for it.

How do you hurt a big corporation?  What does a big corporation need to survive?  They need money.  There is a big percentage of business done on the web now.  So when someone/thing infringes on our rights, we hit them where it hurts, the pocketbook.  It must be stressed that anonymous doesn't steal information harmful to you and me.  They steal emails and contact information of those infringing on our rights so we may know and detect their harmful activity.  Remember climate-gate?  The proof that the biggest organizations of the world were lying about global warming?!  Or how about the constant food supply attack by GMO giant, Monsanto.  Yeah, they're targets too.  This is the type of activity condoned by Anonymous.  Anonymous is for the truth in all respects.  If these people/organizations were doing the right thing then they wouldn't care if the information came to light.  The reason they hate it is because they know they're lying and keeping the truth from you.

Besides, have you ever thought about the openly acknoleged government spying that has been going on thanks to the unconstitutional "Patriot Act"?  They're recording every call you make, every text message you send, where you go, who you talk to, etc.  There are Countless Examples of this but here are just a few that I could get in five minutes from an easy google search, here, here, here, and here.

Follow my logic here.  So they can spy on us at every turn.  Yet when we do any such thing to them, it's a "National Security Threat."  But wait, don't they work for us?!  So we're paying their wages, but we can't see what they do?!

You can guess how the rotten bastards government minions have reacted to this.  One method is called the Protect IP Act.  This bill is so broad that it even does away with fair-use copyright laws on the Internet.  Therefore, if you were to post a copyrighted video (as I have done above) it is a felony offense.  Yes, you read that correctly.

In comes Anonymous.

Anonymous is your neighbors, your friends.  We are every human being fighting for freedom.  We will not back down.  Join me in fighting for our freedom!
We Are Anonymous.
We Are Legion.
We Do Not Forgive.
We Do Not Forget.
Expect Us.

Is Depression Two Avoidable?

First, I must establish that I am not an economist.  However, I do possess some thinking ability and some decent math skills.  Therefore, I will be going over this as a layperson, for a layperson.

So, let's start off with basics.  According to US Debt Clock.org our sovereign national debt as of this writing is 14.498 Trillion dollars. Any thinking individual would now compare this number to our GDP (for credit worthiness).  According to the CIA Factbook our estimated GDP for 2010 was 14.66 Trillion Dollars.  Simplified, GDP is the value of every good and service produced in this country minus debts (essentially our net income). Doing the math, this puts our Debt to Income ratio at approximately 98.89%.  In our current system, we need people to loan us money.  Do you really think that's going to happen forever with a debt to income ratio like that and accelerating exponentially?  I thought exponential growth was good!

Now, I have a simple question, and one that nobody seems to be asking.  To whom do we owe this money?  Despite what most people tell you, according to two sources, The Congressional Budget office, and Political Calculations, the biggest holder of our debt is US Citizens and Institutions.  How ironic is this??!  We're being told that in order to balance the budget, we as US Citizens need to take a haircut.  So we need to take a haircut in order to pay ourselves?!?! Sign me up

Let's back up a bit.  How about the entire world's debt?  Economist.com puts the entire world's debt at 39.846 Trillion dollars and counting.  But, this number doesn't make sense either.  If the entire world is the entire economy, how can it owe any money at all?  Common sense says this number should always be 0.  Therein lies the biggest problem with the world we live in.  Whom does the world owe this money to?  I don't know about you, but I don't owe any money to Extra-Terrestrials (anymore).

How can the world owe money?  There are two things our basic monetary system is based on that will answer this question.  The first and most simple of the two is that we, the people of the United States (as well as most of the world) don't own our own currency.  Look at the Bills in your wallet, notice that they say "Federal Reserve Notes?"  The federal reserve owns the dollar.  But as most of my readers probably know, it is a private bank owned by private interests.  Who are these private interests?  Good luck finding specific names and numbers, people get killed looking for that information.  The best synopsis can be found in a four part article series starting here.  So, if private bankers own our entire money supply; which also own the private central banking system of the majority of the world; it stands to reason that they are likely the majority stakeholders of the debt of the entire world.

The second cause which was also built into the system is the fractional reserve banking system.  This is how banks lend money.  As an example of how this works lets say that the government decided to create $100 to pay you for an infrastructure project.  First, they request the money from the private Federal Reserve, which sells it to the government at $100 plus the going interest rate at that time. Now if you think about how that works, if only $100 was created but $100 plus interest is owed back to the Fed, obviously it doesn't exist and this is the number one cause of our national debt as stated earlier.  (I got side tracked, back to fractional reserve banking.)  You take your $100 and deposit it in your bank account.  The bank can then lend (according to US Law) 90% of the deposited funds.  So, they lend $90 of it out to another fellow.  He deposits the $90 in his bank account, of which that bank lends out $81 to another fellow and on and on it goes.  Of the original $100 that was created, now there is a total of $900 in debt that gets created (90+81+72.90.......).  Yet $800 of that $900 in debt doesn't exist.  Where does it come from?

Don't believe the fed is a private bank and unaccountable to anyone? Read this. (Yes it does say that the fed lent $16 TRILLION without asking anyone......)

If you would like more information on these issues.  There are some amazing movies out there that will illustrate it further.  My two favorites are below.  They are both full-length movies but they are absolute MUST WATCH movies for any aware individual.

So from these two fundamental problems with our system rises an exponential Income disparity gap.  This occurs because we all know that due to these basics and others, debt is exponential.  Since we already know that this debt is owed to a small number of people we have our cause of this exponential Income disparity gap.  This is also why the powerful will stop at nothing to keep up the status quo.

Getting back to our original question, is depression two avoidable?  Not when it's baked into the pie.  The only chance I see is to change the recipe of the pie. (ed note: I give this a 5% probability.)  I think this recipe change was outlined very well in "The Secret of Oz." The question is how does this happen?  How do we change it when the people benefiting from it are the people that control it?  Good luck getting corruption to "un-corrupt" itself.  Also, I hate to burst the bubble, but any aware individual on main street knows depression number two is already here.  It just hasn't hit Wall-Street just yet. (I give it months).  Could you imagine being in this crowd?  After you see that, imagine what it'll look like when extended unemployment runs out at the end of the year.  The real question is what do we do to minimize the impact of our economy going bust.

There are many solutions. The best solution in my opinion is to unplug from this game of economy and dollars.  This is known to me as peaceful non-compliance.  Don't get me wrong, this solution takes time and a serious change to your daily life (I'm still not there yet either).  This is done in many ways, through buying local goods, becoming self-sufficient, or even using cash or a local currency as much as possible. Form your own local economy.  All that is needed to form a local economy is the willingness and the participation of a local group of people to do as much business as possible with people in the group.  We already have the tools to accomplish this!  Forming a community is KEY to surviving the economic mess ahead of us.

Remember, WE gave this beast our permission by giving it our money.  Money = time+effort = power.  If we give them our power then we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Once enough of us do this, our economy will crash, but will you care?  You don't need it anymore and THAT is freedom.

The First Post (A Manifesto)

Well, here we are.

How did we get here? Where is here? Where are we going?

First, I'm going to briefly open with how I got here.  I had a sudden 'awakening' in late 2007/early 2008.  When I look back, there have been many things that led me to this.  But, it all came about very late on a weeknight.  I saw this DVD a coworker had given me.  Scribbled on it was the Title, "Zeitgeist: The Movie."  Now, putting it lightly, this movie rocked my world.  I had always known something was wrong with society, but I could never put my finger on it.  I didn't agree with everything in the movie, but most of it really hit home as making so much sense.  Since then I can't take in enough information.  Finally, I feel prepared and intelligent enough on the fallacies of society to help bring them to light so we can ultimately evolve.  We are here on this planet to learn and grow as beings, so lets do it!


So where are we exactly?  Well, my country is fighting four wars, which aren't "technically" wars.  There are no jobs.  Our country is deeply in debt.  Necessities for life are dwindling.  The climate is changing around us. My Government is turning into a totalitarian/fascist state.  Corruption is everywhere.  Mainstream Media is a joke.  Academia is a Joke.  Mainstream history is wrong.  The Sick Industry is just that. (Depressing, huh?)

Actually, it isn't.  This is humanity's greatest opportunity!  This is the time where we throw off our shackles and gain true freedom.  The collapse of the economy is exactly what we need.  Those in power are there because of money, pure and simple.  If the money system fails, all their power is gone.  All of the sudden the rich will have to work to survive.  We already do that!  This is nothing new to us.  This is the time to rise up and create a system that benefits everyone.  We have the opportunity and the imagination, it's time to do the work.  If I had a choice of what time in history to be born, this would be it.

Where do we go from here?  There are two ways.  One of them leads to more slavery, corruption, deceit, and pain.  The other leads to liberation and true freedom.  We are all creators of our world, and so it is up to US to change it.  First, we need to figure out what is currently wrong so that we can fix the problem instead of treating symptoms.  This blog is dedicated to the spread of truth so that we can help in a small way to lead us to true freedom.

I don't have all the answers.  However, I will provide as much information as I can from all angles so that we may be educated and able to fix what ails us.

As one people we can acheive freedom.  For the divided there is only slavery.
