The Iraq war is going on AT LEAST another FOUR YEARS.

AT LEAST

End the war, bring our troops home, and let’s get down to the equally painful business of rebuilding our country’s economic base and transiting us out from a system based on debt, consumption, greed, and graft.”

Could be right out of a Ron Paul stump speech. He DOES tie the war and the economic disaster together, along with all the other spending we do abroad. “We’re paying to blow up bridges over there, then we pay to build the bridges again over there, but meanwhile our OWN bridges are collapsing and we don’t have any resources left to take care of them!” is one of his favorite quotes. Or how about “I believe that we are in a recession. And if you want to talk about rescuing our economy, you have to talk about a drastic change in our foreign policy. We can’t afford this policy of global empire!”

Incredible that you should end up a Paul supporter on policy, no matter which way you will vote.

The Federal debt was $1.142 trillion in 1982.

On September 30, 2007 the U.S. government owed $8.993 trillion.

I would think that America is about 40 or 50 trillion in the hole and credit card debt is another trillion dollars.
The only reason America “appeared” to be recovering since the 1982 recession is because the Americans borrowed 10 trillion dollars.

America is spending 7% more then what it earns or produces each year.

The U.S. government has a ton of futurists working and calculating the financial status of the country. Just as Britain knew well in advance of it’s decline as a world economic power in 1870 and which did not occur till immediately after World War One, the American’s know too that the writing is on the wall as China takes it’s place upon the world stage.

The United States was not called a “Great Power” until about 1892.

After the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, (1814-15) there was no power on earth which was greater than the British Empire. “As good as Sterling” was the same as the U.S. dollar or “Greenback” is today. Around 1850, is when the British Empire began it’s decline.

Just as America is doing now, from 1883 to 1913, Britain increased its dependence on imported goods following the introduction of free trade.

About 1870 the German Reich emerged as a new economic player on the map of Continental Europe in the same way that China is doing so at this moment in time. In August 1914, Britain declared war against Germany in an attempt to stop the development of Germany’s economy which was a threat to British hegemony.

Immediately following the end of World War I, Britain collapsed as an “Economic Power” and America became the dominant world power. The Balfour agreement (1917) initiated by the British and giving the Jewish Folks a home in Palestine was in return for Jewish Banking assistance during World War I. Britain’s World War II costs were financed by American banks and Britain did not complete repayment of these American loans until December 2006.

There is huge anger mounting towards the government.

“Americans are the only people I know who believe their own propaganda.”
–Deborah Eisenberg, American writer–

It was Bill Clinton who bailed out the manufacturing sector and created the Dot-Com Boom because he changed the tax rules and where any company buying computer related stuff because of the “Y2K” Bug, got a complete tax write off. Immediately after the Y2K-Trip was shown to be false, the Dot-Com bust happened. The American government created the Dot-Com Boom as a means to stimulate the faltering economy.

Lets know what has happened to the economy since 9-11 ….

Airlines were bailed out and laws were introduced which reduced the amount of luggage each passenger could carry on board …. thus saving the airlines huge fuel costs.

Auto manufacturers were bailed out with military vehicle contracts in the same way that Ronnie Ray-Gun bailed out Chrysler during the Latin American wars.

Huge amounts of money was thrown at small-town America via the Home Land Security Department. Every police force has been militarized and equipped with SWAT teams.

60% of the U.S. economy is related to the construction industry.

The U.S. government bailed out the retail sector with the huge infusion of cash via home mortgages.

Let’s face it, anybody with a brain in their heads knew that it would be quite impossible to find “qualified” home buyers in a declining economic environment. But, the government needed to find a way to push money into the market place and bail out the retail sector.

This was a deliberate and intentional policy of the American government in an effort to stimulate retail sales. Before instituting this lending scheme, the American governnment brought in new personal bankruptcy laws in 2005. Then the American bankers encouraged the lending of money to unsuspecting home buyers and who can’t very easily declare personal bankruptcy. The American government used this loan scheme to pour billions into the economy. 60% of American employment is tied to the construction industry and it is American home owners who feed the retail sector.
This “Recession” is going to be worse then 1982. All the American politicians are talking about stimulating the economy but America is bankrupt. They can’t even raise enough cash to bail out the banks. Just this week, the largest bank in the U.S. had to go to Singapore and China to grab some cash to stave off bankruptcy. There is no way that they will find any cash to save the decline of America. Even the insurance companies which insured these sub-prime loans are now bankrupt.

The auto sector is bankrupt. The major auto manufacturers are selling off all their assets before they declare bankruptcy. If they did not sell their assets to India and China, then the workers are entitled to seize assets in lieu of lost pension funds. With the selling of the assets now, the shareholders are raping the pension fund and running off with the dividends now.

It is Take-Away-Time in America.

There is no way that the Government can every hope to meet all the promises made by the Capitalist system over the past 100 years. No corporate pension funds are safe and the Federal Pension Guarantee fund is bankrupt.
American’s think that they are immune from the same financial disaster which the U.S.S.R. suffered through in the 80’s or as every other past empire had happen all throughout history. In the next five years, 75 million Americans who were born after WWII, are gonna be standing in line to collect social security at 23 thousand dollars per year. In addition; Public Sector (civil servants) Retirement Benefits will cost $2.73 trillion. There is no way in hell that the Capitalist System can ever hope to keep the promises made to the Working Class over the past 50 years.

The Federal government can’t even face up to their responsibilities to those disabled folks who qualify right now for social security payments. For sure the government will not be able to meet the payments for the 75 million expected retirees during the next 5 years.

Disabled And Waiting
CBS News Investigation: Backlog In Disability Benefits System Leaves Thousands Of Vulnerable Americans Stranded
A two-month CBS News investigation has found that over the last two years, at least 16,000 people fighting for disability benefits died while awaiting a decision.
Overall, the backlog of cases now stands at 750,000 – up 150 percent since 2000.
It could take 2.5 years to get your hearing.
Examiners warned by their superiors that approving claims today could cost the government millions tomorrow.
“So are you saying, in essence, there was a quota system?” Keteyian asked.
“Every state had different numbers,” she said. “They know that a certain percentage of people, once denied, will never file an appeal.”

If executives at Enron, Tyco or Worldcom resort to such financial mismanagement, cheating shareholders out of their future retirement, they end up in jail.

When politicians do it, they get re-elected.

And don’t forget the spiraling costs of health care of an aging population.

The government knows full well that the Ordinary Joe is not gonna take this sitting down. There are gonna be riots.

It was Bill Clinton who first introduced the Patriot Act and appointed a “domestic military czar”. Clinton and his furturists recognized the decline of the American empire.

Google:
Presidential Decision Directive 62, Protection Against Unconventional Threats to the Homeland and Overseas, dated May 1998, and Presidential Decision Directive 39.

We can expect to hear American’s totally demonize Chinese products and hide behind “Safety” and “Green” rather then the real truth being trade barriers. The Olympics will be shown as a “polluted” games and where China is responsible for all of America’s woes. (Just as Britian demonized Germany prior 1914.)
This is why all the “Domestic” terrorism laws have been introduced. Martial Law will be imposed. I think that the establishment would prefer that Obama become president because the Lower Class are more likely to listen to “One Of Their Own” as the economy crumbles.

China is the new kid on the block.

As America declares “bankruptcy”, a new currency will need to be in place and it will be called the “Amero” and it will be the currency for all of North America. (Mexico, U.S.A. and Canada.)

Quiz: What kind of Anarchist are you?

The only reason Hitler came to power was because of the depression of the 1930’s.

Poor Folks in Europe suffered alot more then the Poor Folks in North America. The Poor Folks in Europe watched the Rich Folks flaunt their wealth during the Roaring 20’s …. and they remembered this as the Poor Folks were selling their family heirlooms in Pawnshops. It just so happened that a majority of the pawnshops were owned by Jewish Folks and Gypsies.

The Rich Folks in America are running scared! The Partiot Act is for the protection of the Rich Folks because they don’t want a Hitler-Trip to happen in America.

Unions which support or organize protests will be called extremist groups.

The media is broadcasting “Religious” themed shows because the establishment is trying to sell the Poor Folks a conscience.

As the Rich Folks walked by the Poor Homeless person upon the street during past years …. the Rich Folks don’t want the Poor Folks walking by them as they are strung-up on lamp posts.

The establishment knows that the internet is the greatest threat to them. We can expect many stories within the media which demonizes the internet and paints everyone as a pedophile. Laws will be introduced where you will need a broadcast licence to offer videos on the net. A broadcast licence costs millions and only the establishment will be able to afford them.

We can expect the American election campaign to be about how “Strong” and “Decisive” the new American president will need to be in order to take away all the promises which Corporate America made to the Working Class. American’s will be told that the loss of the social security net promised within a Capitalist System is a “Proud” part of American democracy and not something to be ashamed of.

The election campaign will be a Rodney-King-Trip of “Can’t We All Just Get Along?”

The election will only be …. a choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledummer. There is little difference between the candidates or political parties …. It will be an election of Regime Rotation between the Democrats and Republicans ….and which, in truth, provides only an illusion of a functioning democracy.
