Mining “FEDMINE” (exploring Pharmacogenomics, The Lewin Group, & HHS)
Who, really, is Federal Gov’t?
(Knowing is not Optional– ask MaryAnne..)
Building a basic understanding, and something of a database of truth — is a survival skill. I hope that before September is out, people take a hard look at reauthorizing WELFARE (which moves many of these funds) and understand that, whether it’s MITCH (God forbid) or OBAMA (Lord help us), the rest of us have our hands full. The USA may be (and is) the world’s largest contractor, and own the majority of the worlds infrastructure (did you know that? Maybe next post), but individuals are basically unsafe in this country — from this “interlocking directorate” and criminal cartel. . . . We are on borrowed time as individual — outclassed, outmaneuvered, technologically not up to speed, and being robbed — as well as drugged, incarcerated, shot (at times, some populations), and foreclosed (those who have homes)– and while it may be a great living contracting with USA, Inc., at some level it’s completely immoral.
It truly does not matter (if you watch TV) that Prince Harry was romping nude and was photographed at it. How’s that a new practice by princes??? But what might matter seriously is if the world really is being run from about three cities (Washington, D.C. // London // the Vatican) and trafficking children, drugs (legal and illegal) and arms.
[An entire segment here (added later as I thought about it) has been removed to another blog, “AmericanAmnesia” aka”Who Bought My Kids?” (yellow background). The segment began simply talking about the concept of Strategy — there is indeed a Strategy our US Gov’t has — and checking on Fedmine.com (and comparing it to known experiences in custody courts, or in short, a serious consideration of the economic system, and why most people don’t know how it really works) using a Biblical reference, because one thing the Bible can do is say complex things in basic terms. And because the Greek involved communicated the concept that “strategy” comes from the word translated “warfare.”
I then to illustrate that, whether or not one believes in spirituality (or, evil per se), there is still this symbol and signpost to serious evil in the matter of The Franklin Coverup. And in that Franklin (Credit Union, Nebraska) Coverup investigation, a U.S. Senator definitely exposed corruption of our primary institutions of government (the whole gamut). AND, linked the abuse of children to drug trafficking,money laundering, and blackmailing of politicians.
So, in that light of MAJOR control systems, working together, I think whether one does or doesn’t believe in God or Satan, at this point, it is past time to understand that something very evil IS afoot and that this involves money, drugs, (access to children) and definitely — – Strategy.
It’s in this STRATEGY matter that we have to get a grip on the Pharmaceutical and Mental Health (i.e., psychological) industries’ connection to USA, Inc. — and whose side they really are NOT on, namely, the side of the poor.
I thought in yesterday’s “HHS” contracts, that The Lewin Group, which name I recognized, but hadn’t picked out as highly influential, was a moderate player. Now I’m not so sure, given what they do..
It has enabled the vast expansion of government contracting and businesses, and economic dominance of the planet. Corporations are not only based on the internet, and connect through them, market through them, but when combined with the FORCE of government (economic, the power to imprison i.e., judges, police, and such) — a public that is completely unaware (or made docile, or warlike, according to the current religious sentiment — and now churches (so-called) are also internet-expanding and downloadable pdf-indoctrinated, too — survival (and helping one’s children) requires understanding (better) the direction of change; HOW THINGS WORK.To understand the “Gestalt” of the times, it helps to profile individuals, or individual companies (or, industries), esp from the 1900s, that have been placed in leadership & policy decisions leading up to the internet age, which was a quantum leap forward in ways we still don’t understand — and not just youtubes going viral.
It is not important to know every single large company (obviously) but it’s good to understand the basic industries and perhaps how they developed. Unless you LIKE being subject to sudden removal of one’s children, or job, or living forever in neighborhoods where police chase down suspects and execute them, and/or bystanders, sometimes getting “the wrong guy.” Or dropping off your adolescent in a school where the teacher, not just the children, is bullying him, also a recent news item.
Or (not to EVER forget this one) — being a single mother, of color, facing down a home invasion SWAT team for failing to hand over your child when no one has a valid warrant — and the purpose of taking the child involved forcible Risperdal dosage (Detroit Area, Maryanne Godboldo) May 23, 2012 (AFTER the event, in which the community rallied), from “CCHR” (Citizens Commission on Human Rights): [I researched many of the write-ups on this case; the same worker had pulled a similar stunt on an intact family the year before, was nailed for it, and pulled it on this woman the next year — as I recall. Tan-background = Godboldo case material]
THIS WOMAN STOOD DOWN A SWAT TEAM — ALONE — AND WAS THEN FOUND GUILTY OF NEGLECT FOR NOT WANTING TO ADMINISTER RISPERDAL, AFTER ADVERSE REACTIONS AND MD BACKUP OF THE SAME, AND THE SWAT TEAM HAVING NO VALID WARRANT — BUT A RUBBERSTAMPED ONE… CPS + PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY + DETROIT + JUDGES WITH TIES TO SAME = NEIGHBORHOOD NIGHTMARE. THIS = USA. FORD FOUNDATION (CITY, DETROIT) WAS FUNDING ONE OF THE CENTERS? HER DAUGHTER WAS HAULED OFF TO… this mom also had been homeschooling. The father was not fighting her — the state was. Welcome to America….
“I knew the system was broken, but I didn’t know it was this broken, where anyone, literally anyone could come and take your child,” said Maryanne Godboldo, who’s 13-year-old daughter was taken temporarily by CPS last year.
Testimony under oath in the Godboldo case revealed that probation officers inside the court would routinely stamp Presiding Juvenile Court Judge Leslie Kim Smith’s name onto the removal orders. By law, a judge must review the CPS workers allegations of abuse, and then sign the order.
Business Seeds planted Before the Wars, Shade Trees We Grew Up Under [Pennsylvania Economy League]
Yeah, that’s a little cryptic.
See recent posts on the Bankruptcies of the United States etc. Some things are just too significant — including these bankruptcies. I was looking up the “PEL” (Pennsylvania Economy League) which has been charged with overseeing certain “ACTS” (Act 47) in re: distressed municipalities, such as Scranton.
The Pennsylvania Economy League, Inc. — is a PRIVATE Nonprofit, PA records say, formed in 1936 — which is significant. It is helping take charge of development — shortly after the US declared bankruptcy and got the gold (under threat) from people living in this country, to replace it with “notes,” then quickly raised the price of gold once it was in the US Treasury. My parents were young at this time . . .
Commonly this is called “Stealing.” You take my stuff under threat, and make it illegal to own that stuff — then you raise its price — then you use it as leverage to sell debt, and the people you stole from as collateral for the debt. Literally, that’s about what was done to us here, in the USA. Media HAS to be involved to sell these things — any good warrior (or general) knows that propaganda is half the battle. Getting them to give up is usually better than outright arms.
If the “we” fits, wear it, if not, take it as a parable?
SO, we grew up under these shade trees, politically, governmentally and economically. Times were tough, times were better, times were tough, times were better.
Meanwhile I myself got married, had children, was assaulted, got out — it’s been tough (as well as rewarding) since then — although basically better since we separated after which society and particularly my family (plus that guy) went into punishment mode, primarily because my being separate (single) apparently caused them more sleepless nights than my being a nuclear family on the lethality track and without a safe place outside the various workplace to sit down — and having been “disappeared” as an economic entity too quickly in the marriage, which I should never have been tricked into.
On the bright side, if harder times are coming (and they are), some of us have a little long-term boot camp training for being poor, endangered, pissed off and having to think creatively about how to survive, including how to eat, travel, conduct any sort of business relationships, and communicate. I think those are marketable skills, right?
So — About UNDER THE SHADE TREE
Our workforce and economy have been structured to control the population and build infrastructures they can look up to and walk around in — SOME of which were blown up, or at least destroyed, on September 11, 2001. I have my own opinion on that one, and believe the analysis was economic, not religious — and planned. MOST things are planned around here because the planners are controlling so many of the resources.
The economic system we have demands a slave class to pay off national debt, and demands that this class (which includes the middle class, who are ensconced by a lifestyle they prefer and social status they don’t like to sacrifice, etc.) — NOT comprehend what is being done to them before it’s pretty well too damn late to resist. Because Middle will become Lower if they address what caused the “lower” to occur — I mean REALLY looked closely at what made it happen, they cannot really solve the problem. And that’s part of the problem.
A PRIVATE NONPROFIT FORMED IN 1933 (UMBRELLA FOR AT LEAST ONE FORMED IN PHILADELPHIA IN 1909?) to COUNCIL AND DIRECT MUNICIPALITIES AND AUTHORITIES (CORPORATIONS THAT MUNICIPALITIES FORMED) OUT OF DISTRESS THAT HAS BEEN CREATED — IN PART — BECAUSE SAID MUNICIPALITIES (GOVT) AND AUTHORITIES — HAVE BEEN TAKING PEOPLE’S HARD ASSETS, SELLING OFF THE DEBT ON THE, AND THEN TAXING PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE DEBT? This basically is feudalism, as I see it.
I’ve been plugging away, but it doesn’t seem likely that whoever is on that Scranton Political Times forum (which now appears to have only one Administrator — the other one, Joanne P., being incarcerated somewhere over elder theft, although I hear there is more than one side to the story) is going to pick up on the habit of looking at numbers in charts on a CAFR, or reading/comprehending the significance.
Meanwhile, the “PEL” (topic of this post) is the advisor on how to get this particular city less “DISTRESSED.” It’s been distressed since at least 1992. Blame it on the economy and industrial changes? Maybe. I don’t. I blame such things on management. It’s the shade tree.
What we don’t understand well enough is that those who planted it, have the right to chop it down for any purpose, and probably will one of these days. In the interim, generations of people playing under it (I include myself ) structured their lives, to the extent they planned, as though this were the world — rather than, a shade tree. So I figured, study hard, go to college, work, maybe marry, work, and focus on that profession overall, or profession/family balance.
ABOUT THIS POST — PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMY LEAGUE (“PEL”)AND (same street address) ECONOMY LEAGUE OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA (“EGLP”) WHICH IS A SUBSIDIARY LLC are Advising and guiding Public Projects and infrastructure.
The PEL was formed in 1936, and the EGLP says, it was formed in 1909, which should register with SOME of us as pre-Federal Reserve, Pre-income Tax, Pre-World War I. I DNR if it’s pre the creature from Jekyll Island (Georgia) or not. It has a board comprised of up to 5 directors nominated from the three “member” corporations (which it says are LLCs and they seem to say are separate nonprofits). I saw 14 directors (including one Executive, the rest unpaid) and of those 14, only ONE was a woman. Go FIGURE!
The ELGP Government Donor just happens to be US Economic and Development Administration.
The ELGP Corporate Sponsors are utility company (PECO) and Dow Chemical, plus more you can see on their site (link below).
My Fascination with this Area — has more to do with being bull-headed and not liking to be interrupted than with actual tangible results from having participated so many months (since Nov. 11) on the Scranton PT. They (Pilchesky/s) let me post there, posting is part and sharing is part of my own learning curve, and have learned a LOT since then, i.e., picking up understandings and a few investigation skills, plus “babyHTML” out of self-defense on the (otherwise) ultra-wide margins. I also know that we are on a national model, and almost ANYWHERE one might dig in at a local level, courts or otherwise — it would sooner or later lead right back up through AFCC, NACC, CRC — HHS, Welfare Reform funding — and right back to Washington, D.C. (with coaches from west coast and plenty from Denver as well).
So,
I plan to lose the “Pennsylvania Habit” pretty soon — which only developed around a small parent education class Kids’ First modeled after Kids’ Turn in California. A forum administrator (Joe Pilchesky) in the same area as the class itself was based had commented on the business angle (potential profits). I find it next to impossible, however, for people concerned and angry about the courts, and talking about cash flow, etc. — to actually stay on it and think in those terms — by looking up corporate records. This means that most of the dialogues seem to be NOT about those specifics, but about generic terms which it is all to easy to speculate on. Although lawsuits were filed surrounding the hiring of certain court personnel, in the civil realm, etc.
Recently (see posts here), the lights have come on (in my understanding) about the two sets of books — Budget and Comprehensive. As the City of Scranton is under a recovery plan and talking about raising taxes a cumulative 81% in three years!! still there have been no “bites” on the CAFR statements (yet), even though I finally located them on-line at a Scranton.gov site.

The LLC which handles Lackawanna (and other) counties (one of three unde PEL) describes what it did in 2010 in grim terms with the word “DISTRESS” (a lot….):

Of a board of 13 directors plus Steven T. Wray (executive),he’s the only paid one (modest, at $141K) — and only one woman. The current address seems to be Philadelphia, with one of the subsidiary LLCs:
How is the Economy League funded?
Approximately half of the Economy League’s revenue is generated through Board of Directors membership. The balance is derived from projects and initiatives with local governments, foundations, corporations, and private sector leadership organizations. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization to which contributions are tax deductible.
When the Economy League was established in 1909, its first endeavor was the promotion of better government through independent research. Today, we continue that tradition as well as bring together business, civic and nonprofit, and public interests for their ideas and experience to inform operations of all levels of government — from boro managers to the Capital.
List of INVESTORS (in this Philadelphia ELGP) — PECO (utility co?) and DOW are the biggest ones, plus law firms, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, universities (including Widener), etc. Very interesting. Investors ranked (by $$ probably) as “Steward / Visionary/Entrepreneur/Sponsor, etc.”
Wanna see something funny? I was looking for its nonprofit registrations, and typed in “Economic” instead of “Economy” to get 89 organizations in PA with that in the title:

…The conclusion I have to come to is consistent with the intent for PRIVATE corporations to run Government (and Government to run itself as a private corporation also — just calling it In the PUblic Interest — while soaking up the property we live in, and our wages — and selling them to others.
Go read some of the oddballs, and sort any Tea Party rhetoric, any anti-feminist, anti-(fill in the blank) with the alternative — go with the flow of people who are pro-feminist, pro-Islam, pro-Zionism, pro-African-American, pro-Latina, pro-anything.
The ones that are sometimes the best economic analysts are sometimes good bigots, too. The warm-hearted liberals are anything but liberal (Or, progressives, progressive)on certain key issues, among them. I am TIRED of the rhetoric.
I actually need to eat, and (re)plan a future. I’m getting rather annoyed at having to revise the plan yearly or more often at the whim of others, and would like a good explanation why there is not a safe place for mothers (not just women) leaving what THEY considered slavery (which abuse is) to take their children, and simply live — in a fiscally solvent, and self-sufficient manner.
The first answer I ran across was welfare reform. I’d sinned — by taking Food stamps initially. I’d sinned again — by failing to realize fault lines in our own family (certain key events seem to bring them up), and that their sinister side, or that there was good cause for having not been that close over the years anyhow. I was uninformed that while I grew up in a liberal times as to feminist issues, #1. This doesn’t apply, really, to Christian spheres, and #2. Backlash was going to happen sooner or later.
Add to this, a basic PUBLIC school education, which means NOT learning US History OR world history (or learning it well) while picking up by association many negative social norms, and I don’t mean gangs, drugs, or promiscuity. I mean, not learning to FIGHT, and (even back then) the stigma that was given to people who simply liked to learn and study. What a WASTE of growing up it was — including for my mother, who was cast into her mold (see 1950s) and in that form, I didn’t get to know her as a person, almost at all. What we knew (despite shared experiences – -there were no shared joys, sorrows, social empathy with each other) — was basically a “Pro Forma” family. I went forth and found something better to do, and now, find that too much of society (including mine, of origin) has so emotionally invested in all the Pro Forma shade trees around–
Family, School, Government, Work, “JOB,” Banks, Mortgages/rentals, etc.
Are actually not bearing fruit. They are FORMS — and within these forms (within this corral) it’s possible to survive a lifetime (for some — not all) — and not run up against the electric fence. Those who HAVE run up against this electric fence, realize that it is being gradually tightened. America is getting ready for continental lockdown for purposes of paying off the debt– but this will not apply to certain elite, etc.
It’s a Monopoly Board — and we are tokens. This can change — but it can’t change unless people are willing to. A long learning curve is no longer possible around here — GET OUT THOSE CAFRs and look at them! Think about the significance and don’t ever vote for another increased tax, or bond for the local schools, etc. Send yourself to school — and look up EVERY special district and authority, and talk about it to your neighbor. Don’t be ashamed — we weren’t told!!!
Or, got to another “Dark Knight” movie, in Colorado or anywhere. Take your chances! (FYI, I did. It was a stupid movie, a collection of stereotypes; and the day was saved by dumping an atomic bomb in the ocean — and that’s GOOD news?? I was embarrassed for my country).
Speaking of which, it’s bankrupt. So — are you a Citizen of the re-organizedUnited States of America (HQ washington DC) and hence without Constitutional rights at all — or what? See marriage license, birth certificate, social security# (including for kids) and backtrack to see that at least the birth certificates were protested, initially.
This push for registering paternity of children (by HHS), FYI, and promoting marriage — I believe THAT is what it’s about. It’s the United States of America (re-incorporated long ago) attempting to get people to CONSENT (Contract) to give up their UNALIENABLE rights by answering to a legal identity called “PERSON.” You can read about this many places on the web — barefoot’s world, realitybloger.wordpress.com, musicians4freedom, it’s many places.
That’s BASIC information, and to me — it makes sense to validate or invalidate it, and then live according to your determination as much as possible. Would it be better to build a life(or lifestyle) on a fiction, or on solid ground?

Why Governments (Corporations) Whine so much, What They Aren’t Telling Us, and How to Look It Up . . . .
“Individuals believe that “the budget” and “governments” are one. This is false“*“How does one tell the American people that governments are stealing from them? They will not believe it. They believe the government and the elected officials. Only a nut would attempt to demonstrate that politicians are not completely honest. Well, I am that nut and I have the qualifications to prove that governments are stealing from them.” *
Do you have any idea what it’s like to have been on welfare, got off, then listen to the talking heads on TV? [Expired Link, see “2016 updates” some paragraphs, in fact an entire discussion, below]
[[2016 comment: I believe that this Tavis Smiley Interview with Peter Edelman, “The anti-poverty advocate discusses his text, So Rich, So Poor.” 24:40 |Episode]. I do not have a transcript]] may have been one of the interviews I was referring to. Several links to his promotion of the book exist on-line. I started to update with replacement info and links, but this turned into a new page, or post. Will (hopefully) link to that here if it’s published — or it’ll be on the updated table of contents!]]
(Both of whose corporations and agenda I’ve looked at: Robert Rector of Heritage, and Peter Edelman, Professor of Law at Georgetown ) playing Us versus Them on TV, over welfare reform? (While Mr. Edelman is also selling his book).
This deserves a separate post — but FYI, Welfare reform was targeted against single black mothers (too fertile, and needed a kick in the behind to get to work, plus the fathers needed carrots and sticks also) — and so who are the authorities for or against it?
Two esteemed white men...( with all due respect for — not Mr. Rector, but Mr. Edelman — see this blog, and get real!) — knowing that HHS is full of slush funds, HUD probably IS being run as a criminal organization (People better qualified than I have explained it QUITE well and I’ll continue linking to it) and we — actually — are by contract with USA, Inc. — collateral for its debt?
Both are up in arms about the poor aren’t WORKING enough, the lazy bums (Rector) OR, they aren’t paid enough (Edelman) — when in fact in this post and others, I keep documenting people whose “work” is forming fake corporations and getting the courts to do their fishing for business, plus the corporation franchise set up by the federal government, and so forth. Or taking money from the taxpayers in a state to meet secretly with a top honcho on how to promote marriage (steer marriage-promoting grants to cronies) — for example.
It’s a corporation and apparently what’s really going on over here is that when those HUGE corporate debts come due (about every 70 years), there’s a restructuring. I just read this site through — it’s only a few pages — but if blended with thought (thinking) about its significance, SOME things won’t be the same again.
For example, the words “New Deal.” — — Here you go: Start with “The District of Columbia Act of 1871” At the bottom of each (not too long) page is a link to the next, as in “Myth #22,” etc. There is no short cut for going through this — and because it is focusing on DEFINITIONS, and in Sequence — this is a MUST-READ
ALSO NOTE:
“A large portion of the information flying around the patriot and tax protest communities is false, baseless or worse. Don’t believe anybody, just because they sound good. …”
I have no idea who “Team Law” is — but this is who the site says they are, or rather, what they’re into. Also check out their chronological and short (but it packs a punch) “History of Our Nation.”
What is Team Law?
Team Law is a self-help educational organization founded to help people:
- Learn how to learn the law;
- So they can learn how to apply the law;
- So they can save our country and even the world.
Regardless of who you are, you are required to know the law. Yet in today’s society most people know very little about the law and or about our actual history; instead, they simply rely on others to tell them what to do. Thus, regardless of their actual rights and or nature they remain subjects to those that they rely upon for that guidance. Thus, because the people are generally ignorant of the law they are easily controlled and manipulated by others. If the people were to learn the law and its history they could:
- Recognize mankind’s sovereign nature;
- Secure our original Constitutional Republic form of government;
- Preserve our Constitution and Laws;
- Assure that our children learn and know the Law;
- Preserve our actual history;
- Inspire industry; and, develop wealth that continues to grow and be controlled by the people in their own hands.

HOW SOMEONE FOUND $54 million excess in California, where to look “Advance Liability Funds”
Los Angeles Times | July 20, 2012 | 0:22 PM California’s state parks system secretly stashed away $54 million even as it was cutting services and threatening to close parks, officials announced today. The department’s director, Ruth Coleman, resigned, and her second in command was fired as the hidden surplus was revealed. The state attorney general’s office is conducting an investigation. The announcement means the department has plenty of cash, even though it has been soliciting hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations in what was thought to be a desperate scramble to keep parks open. ~ Officials from the agency that oversees the parks department said the department has under-reported tens of millions of dollars for the last 12 years. |

This site (a blog, 7/2012) talks about how pension funds (PSERS, or CALPERS) are used to fund corporations — but who knows what those corps are doing?
As a taxpayer, you should know that many 100′s of billions of dollars are ripped out of the tax-base each year and force fed into the nation-wide pension system (including Social Security) in the form of ”on-behalf” taxpayer “contributions” for federal, state, local, and district pension employees. This world-wide phenomenon has created an international pension investment system that, in January 2008, Morgan Stanley estimated held over US $20 trillion in assets, and are collectively the largest investment platform in the world. Others with a less personal and unbiased interest in these pension funds make this estimate to be many trillions higher.
They are getting profits on these investments, overall — not losses. Governments are corporations and it is their business to get profits. Hence, showing lowest possible budgets (to the public) is good for getting more money from (the public). There are a number of tricks to it, like — not reporting their holdings as well as their cash flow, as these blogs explain..
Calpers, for example (2011) invests in these other currencies: (that’s their “CAFR” link 2011): (see PSERS, last comment). ..

Resource from retired USAF colonel, very clear teaching and forms to find, review and report on these CAFRs — the man died in 2004. But before then — for example, in NJ, when they found out about this resource, some people began reading it aloud — over the airwaves; they got people organized to look up the CAFrs in their counties, etc. And then (naturally) came under attack for a while.
This “CAFRman.com” site says in 2003, Pennsylvania had $21 BILLION surpluses. The key is — to know that the BUDGET for governments does NOT include money not spent the previous year — or all its holdings.
1. The budget only covers a small portion of the State’s financial condition. There are a group of funds not part of the budget process.
- The CAFR covers, he says, four kinds of funds: 1.Government, 2. Proprietary, 3. Fiduciary and 4. Component Units (of gov’t). The budget — what they squawk loudly about — is only from #1 of 4.
The complete list of funds and budgetary requirements are found in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This report depicts thecomplete financial status of the State. The budget only covers a portion of the financial resources of the government.
2. Next year’s budget consists only of next year’s estimated revenues and next year’s estimated expenditures. Previous years’ revenues not used (spent) are normally not considered in the next year’s budget, but should be. In other words, the previous years’ revenues (as shown in the CAFR) are not recycled back to the budget process.
Historically, a budget consists of three parts: 1) Funds brought forward (funds not previously spent); 2) Next year’s estimated revenues; and 3) Next year’s estimated expenditures.
But somewhere along the way the funds brought forward category was lost. In accounting,the previous years’ revenues are no longer called revenue but have been converted to Cash and Investments. Since they no longer called Revenues governments have forgotten about them to the public. They are there but not considered in the budget process, but should be.
**sounds like the public should start reminding the government about these — after locating them!
Very good site to help look for that stuff that’s NOT being talked about. It also tells people how to go for it…need not be a computer geek.. “there are approximately 83,000 governments and government-like entities in the U.S. We can only start you at the State, county, township, and/or city level. From there you will have to do some digging and ask questions.”
Finding a CAFR // Review Process “very simple — only 2 schedules — just need the CAFR, a pencil, a calculator & two forms: Find the funds/subfunds & totals with surpluses add’em up, divide by population for “per capita.” (also often in “Exhibit A”). (this is very methodical and laid out here….)

The Wealth Gap and Communism
10% Own 73.2% of U.S. Wealth
When Does Communism Exist, 73.2%, 90%, or 100%?
Remember, communism is a concept or system of society in which the major resources and means of production are owned by the community (governments and a few individuals who control governments) rather than by individuals. In theory, such societies provide for equal sharing of all work, according to ability, and all benefits, according to need. Some conceptions of communist societies assume that, ultimately, coercive government would be unnecessary and therefore that such a society would be without rulers. Until the ultimate stages are reached, however,communism involves the abolition of private property by a revolutionary movement; responsibility for meeting public needs is then vested in the state.
The special elite decide on how the wealth will be distributed among the people. All life styles, standard of living, actions, thoughts, and even life itself is decided by the state because the state owns and controls everything. Is it possible that communism could be created within a capitalistic society without a revolution? Have we already reached that point?
(Fundamental Tenet of Reform)
Governments are Corporations. And a Budget is Only a Fraction of their Story…
Unbelievable…. I have only been looking at some of this for about two days, but because of certain other background, I know it’s — sensible.
I’m not even going to bother much of an introduction. This post consists of three articles on the topic — the top one (in a frame) is from 2012, in response, I believe to California having “discovered” $54 million in a special fund after it had threatened to close the parks. The people who responded to the appeal and donated to keep parks open, want their money back. The next is 1999 (WorldNetDaily) and I believe the last is from 2000 (also WorldNetDaily). I am posting them to put some concepts in our // the blogosphere’s head.
LOOK — I blogged AFCC pretty hard (not only me, but I worked at it) and to go to TAGGS.hhs.gov (not that it’s accurate, but it’s an indicator) and to look up tax returns on court-referred nonprofits, and I got as far as, the Income Tax is the problem, creating a dual-class society.
This just takes it up a step: Enjoy!
I am sitting here also reflecting on the past years of my life when I was trying to get back in the system, i.e., Dammit, let me back in the workforce, and cut this custody/child support racket. I didn’t realize at that time that my primary value was not as a worker, but as a breeder for a little social security # (actually, more than one). Apparently they can be used multiple times from multiple funds….
There are times I’ve been hungry — and close to homeless, or (more often — and to this date) been extorted with the threat of homelessness over the issues of protesting simple matters, and to silence speaking up on it. Over time (in my microcosm) I came to realize this was about money only (for some) and kids, secondarily. NOW, I don’t even want back on the system — or to “feed it” any of what remains of my life energies.
Put this together with other material, and it does start to come together, i.e., citizenship in the United States is a contract. The United States (as we now interact with it, not as we mythologize it) is a corporation. A very, very large one.
Wars take money, raising money causes debt; after the war, a bankruptcy gets filed causing corporate restructure, while all of us are kind of told nothing has significantly changed — think about 1776, and believe that it’s still that same old USA. . . . .
I’ll shut up. Just put some of this in your pipe and smoke it – and this ain’t weed:**

INTRO from “BIO” of Mr. Burien: Pretty much after this, the blog is not my writing — sources are the links. Cut and paste, you know how that goes!
The blackout though from the syndicated media, controlled education, and both primary political parties continues and is diligently enforced due to the symbiotic relationship for the use of the massive wealth / investment capital involved within the structure of the CAFR. They do what they do due to the money and control involved. Nothing more and nothing less..
Collective government in the USA owns and controls more than any of us knew. Collective totals of investment, gross income, and standing wealth local and Federal government secures, holds, and generates each year is substantially greater than the same from the entire private sector in the USA. Or in other words as Mr. Burien puts it: Russia’s (communism’s) wet dream of the 1940s per control and ownership held by government with a capitalist / fascist twist. The big earth shaker was that two-thirds of government’s gross income was from non-tax sources. Collective standing investment totals held “internationally” from all local and federal government entities in the USA as of 1999 of “liquid” investment assets conservatively as of 1999 exceeded 60 trillion dollars and as of 2010 within its continued growth over 100 trillion dollars has been reached. Did the public or most government employees know this? No, they did not. What about most in the financial arena? No also.. They were not intended to have a cognitive thought on this issue and great efforts were exerted by the control structure to maintain an intentional void and vacuum in the thought processes of the general population not to even think about the issue and specific data was spoon fed the viewers creating a limited view as was intended.. |
http://CAFR1.com/Dale.html CAFR1 in Reply to Judge Dale’s Comments by Walter Burien – CAFR1 05/13/12Judge Dale’s comments, even though appearing to be explaining the game going on, are misdirections away from the core reality. The points he brings up are valid but the underlying core reality is left out.Yes, the dollar is a “fiat” currency as most currencies are. They are a bartering tool for HARD ASSETS. The currency has no physical value, it is what is acquired with the currency that has value and those hard assets are convertible into ANY currency or barter tool such as Swiss Frank, British Pound, Gold, or even if a farmer wishes to exchange land or crops if it can be arranged.Judge Dale gives the view of the “curtain” in front of the “Wizard” and at the same time creates a 100% void of the aspect of the Wizard’s actions behind the curtain. The following paragraph pulls back the curtain and qualifies what the Wizard has done here:** The wizard utilizes that fiat currency bartered over the decades for exchange to buy up all of the assets both domestically and globally. Land; buildings; developments; corporations; debt instruments, etc. And said here again, these hard assets can be exchanged for “ANY” bartering tool used globally; dollars, Chinese Yuan, Gold, promissory notes, Mexican Peso, etc. So the issue is not the bartering tool being used, but what is happening with all of the “hard assets” being acquired over the decades. I note the peoples productivity value is also a hard asset being that it is drained from them and then used to acquire other hard assets. |
THE GOVERNMENT’S SECRET SLUSH FUNDS
‘Trillions of dollars hidden,’ finance crusader charges
Published: 06/14/1999 at 1:00 AM in World Net Daily, by Sarah Foster:
All levels of government conceal the existence of these vast sums of
money by keeping and filing what amounts to two sets of financial books
– one for the general public, which shows a very limited revenue
stream, and the second, for political insiders, bond brokers, investors
and the like, which reveals the money hoards and gives an accurate
account of a government’s income.There’s enough money in these hoards — largely the result of
aggressive investing on the part of government — to pay off the $5.6
trillion national debt and the accumulated state and local debt many
times over, plus cut everyone’s taxes for years to come, according to
Walter Burien, a former Wall Street commodities trader, whose
revelations — on talk radio and the Internet — about government
finance practices have sparked a nationwide firestorm of public outrage
over an arcane, hitherto all-but-ignored subject.The first set of government books, the budget, projects the flow of
tax money into the general fund for the coming year and directs how it
will be spent. The second is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR), and not one City Hall watcher in a thousand has ever heard of
it.“Everyone knows about budgets,” says Burien. “Politicians use the
budget to ask for more money, to try and show that a city or county is
poorer than it is. They’re playing the public for dupes on the budgetary
basis — that is, they only mention the budgetary basis and never
mention the comprehensive annual report that’s the real set of books.”CAFRs (pronounced “cay-fers”) are financial documents that show,
among other things, the balances of all the funds for a given entity –
e.g., city, a county, school board. CAFRs, says Burien, report a
government’s total income, which is exponentially greater — millions
and even billions of dollars greater — than is shown by the budget.Burien is essentially charging that many, if not all, governments,
from the lowliest water district to the state legislature to Congress
are significantly underreporting their incomes and overcharging for
their services — and nobody’s calling them on it. The press won’t, he
says, because they’re part of the cover-up.But is he right?
Reached by telephone at his Arizona home, Burien described how in
1989 he came face to face with a CAFR for the first time. At the time he
had just helped set up a tax protest group called Hands Across New
Jersey, the state in which he was living.“A governor — Jim Florio — had just been elected on an anti-tax
platform,” said Burien, “but as soon as he gets into office there’s a
$2.2 billion tax increase — the largest in the state’s history — and
the proverbial whatever hit the fan. One local radio station was doing
some rabble rousing and asking people to call in with examples of waste
in government spending. Most examples involved $5,000, $15,000. The
highest was $85,000. And the callers were all furious and foaming at the
mouth at these examples.”Aware that the state of New Jersey handles billions of dollars,
Burien figured that if there were any waste it would be in the millions,
not thousands, of dollars. He checked the state Annual Budget Report,
which showed the costs of all services to be $17 billion, with the “net
available” (for paying bills) at $24.6 billion.“Then I asked the question the IRS asks, where are the cash gross
receipts? I added up to at least $44 billion for annual income.”Burien noticed that certain state agencies — the so-called profit
centers — like the New Jersey Turnpike and the Newark Port Authority
weren’t mentioned, and he called the Office of the Budget for more
information. Posing as a low-level bureaucrat, he said he was preparing
a report for the director and needed figures on the autonomous agency
accounts, interest accounts and investment accounts.“Oh, you need the comprehensive annual financial report,” he was
told.“Bingo! That’s the first time I had heard of that,” said Burien,
emphasizing that he had been involved with finances and accounting for
years and knew his way around state and local government agencies — yet
had never heard of a such a report. He arranged for one to be sent to
him.A self-described “bottom-line kind of guy,” Burien “crunched” some
numbers and came up with some astonishing figures.“Are you ready for this?” he asked. “Here’s the statement of the
service budget — $17 billion. Yet they brought in $86.799 billion for
the year. New Jersey was charging $87 billion and providing $17 billion
in public services.”Worse, the CAFR for the fiscal year showed New Jersey had liquid
investment funds of $188 billion; common stocks worth $70 billion; $10
billion due from loans to public and private corporations; and $14
billion in insurance company equity participation. New Jersey, which
claimed less than $25 million in annual income on its budget, was
sitting on $300 billion in cash, stocks, loans and insurance equity,
according to the CAFR.“On that day, I learned the definition of syndicated organized
crime,” he said. “There was a real scam going on. Costs and expenses for
public services were reported on the budget where taxes and fees paid
100 percent of the bill for the services. Which in New Jersey that year
was $17 billion.“But, whenever there was a profit center — like the turnpike or the
Port Authority — that generated non-tax revenue, the legislature had
restricted that income from being reported in the budget. Income from
the profit centers was shown only on the CAFR.”Having heard the wake-up call, Burien today is a man with a mission.
He has been on numerous talk shows. As a result the Internet is humming
with e-mails and reports by activists across the country swapping horror
stories about similar discoveries of hoards of money squirreled away in
obscure fund accounts by “servants of the people” at City Hall . . .
NOTE — there is more to this article, and other points of view or explanations of CAFRs which are worth reading. About now, my mind — which usually does OK processing basic concepts, and often new concepts — is having a bit of a rough time trying to grasp the significance of this, let alone application to real-time decision making. Please note – 1999 was a very long time ago. However, I believe burien’s basic analysis makes sense, which is found over at CAFR1.com:
_ _ _ Another similar article, in interview format — this is with Geoff Metcalf, found at WND (a conservative site):
Date is August, 2000: http://www.wnd.com/2000/08/6265/ “THE GOVERNMENT’S SECRET TRILLIONS.”

TalkNetDaily weekdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.
Question: For those who do not already know the story, how did you ever find out about these Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports?
Answer: About 10 years ago, I had been a commodities broker on Wall Street for 15 years. I was one of the first tenants in the World Trade Center. I did an international newsline coast to coast on commodities. I thought I knew what was going on; I thought I was one of those sharp little crackers. I always thought government was maybe hiding 5 to 10 percent maximum of the revenue and not reporting it to the public.
{{then he goes into the situation in NJ and new governor, see above)}}
I have ONE thing to say. You have to start reading this — and understanding it. If I can understand it, you can understand it. Period. If you can’t understand it here, find somewhere else in which to understand it. Sorry about my formatting — but, then go get this understanding on a website whose formatting you like better. And when the local government (which is a corporation) tells you they’re broke, you’ll know — as I pretty well began to understand about a year ago — they’re simply lying. Oh, not everyone in gov’t may know — but the fact is: it’s a Goddamn lie. See Silva v. Garcetti for just a sample, just in one timeframe.
I got it that Friday and started crunching numbers. Here’s a state with a declared service budget of $17 billion showing a net available on their budget report of $24 billion. The year’s totals on the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: $188 billion.
Q: $188 billion!?
A: Correct. Investment funds, assets and so forth. The income I started looking for was total cash gross receipts — the number one item the IRS asks you for in an audit.
Q: Would this be interest on investments?
A: Total income. Whether it be cash collected by state agencies, federal grants, the whole nine yards — total income. I found it on page 174 of the 1989 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report under cash additions. Here’s a state with a declared service budget of $17 billion that was bringing in, “in cash,” $86,799,000,000. I learned the definition of syndicated organized crime on the spot and the principle of operation. Anything that was a cost and an expense, an outright cost on a budgetary basis, the public footed 100 percent of the bill for 100 percent of the services. Anything that was a substantial profit center was totally restricted by statute from inclusion whatsoever with the budgetary basis.
Q: This is above and beyond the off-budget stuff.
A: Whenever you hear the word “off-budget,” that is something that is inclusive in the budget. When you look at the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, you will see complete separate areas totally restricted by statute for inclusion with the budgetary basis. A lot of people would refer to it as “two sets of books,” although it’s not exactly two sets of books. The budget report is in one book, and the Consolidated Annual Financial Report is THE book, the showing of the complete pizza pie.
Q: There are two things I want us to make real clear. You conducted your investigation in New Jersey. But this is not unique to New Jersey.
A: I’m going back 10 years. When I found out about New Jersey, especially when I found out they had approximately $80 billion in common-stock ownership, as a commodity trading adviser …
Q: You wanted them as a client.
A: That was actually true to a certain extent. But I was mad more than I was greedy. I said, “How could I have not heard of this?” Here’s New Jersey holding $80 billion in common stock. I was a commodity-trading adviser. I dealt with a lot of the CEOs of some of the major investment firms and I never heard it mentioned — in any circles. I found out when I called the mailroom of the Department of Treasury for New Jersey. It was sent out to every editor of every paper up and down the East Coast. It was sent to the directors and CEOs of ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN. And now I’m getting mad. I was seeing a cooperative effort at non-disclosure and it wasn’t as if it was just created that year and the word hadn’t gotten around.
Q: This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, is it just a stack of numbers or is it something that has an executive summary and can actually be read and understood?
A: The CAFR is set up to be a simple, quick evaluation book to show: total income, total assets, total investments, total net worth. What’s been going on in this country for the last 65 years is government will always focus the public’s attention — intentionally so — on the budgetary basis of the budget report. And the only thing the budget report is, is their annual operating expenses.
Q: Give me an example.
A: Say it cost us $30,000 a year to maintain our house. Say our salary or income was $100,000 a year and we had a million dollars in investments, and say our total net worth was $3 million. What if we talked about our $30,000 budget as being our net worth? It would be ludicrous.
Q: So this is an intentional scam?
A: You’ve had a shell game played on the public where governments are constantly talking their budget, their budget, their budget. They just happen to leave out the decades and decades and decades of investment wealth that has been building up, the decades and decades and decades of enterprise and venture projects they have created separate from the budgetary basis.
Q: Just how ubiquitous are these Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports?
A: The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was created by a group called Government Financial Officers Association in 1946. It was a program created to standardize accounting in all local governments so the federal government could easily see what the true picture was. In 1981, the federal government mandated that all local governments prepare a CAFR or, in the alternative, a combined financial statement. To qualify this, there are over 54,000 separate corporations within local government.
Q: What kind of corporations are you talking about?
A: A city is a corporation; a state is a corporation; a school district is a corporation. Each is filing their own separate report, each with their own investments. I’ve had a lot of people looking at their state reports. They see the tens of billions of dollars they never knew existed — and they are floored. Then I bring to their attention: “You’re just looking at the state report.”
Q: Give us an example.
A: I’ll use the state of Washington as an example. It lists $64 billion in liquid investment funds. Now the state of Washington has 2,300 separate local government corporations filing their own separate reports: cities, counties, school districts, authorities. You have 2,300 other reports.

ANOTHER ONE:
This “Valerie Mandagaran” has something re: Diego Mandagaran, so I looked him up (after noticing that one of his entries had his first name spelled “DEIGO” which would make it harder to locate (or not show up on a name search). So, he pled guilty to statutory rape — the charge is 11/26/1997 which tells me right around a THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY — was sentenced 5 years and (naturally) was out within about a year. I could be wrong — looks like something oin10/20/97 got consolidated or moved to something (same or different criminal charge?) on 11/26/1997 — I DNK….
[/spoiler]
So, look at the date of divorce (Valerie vs. this guy) (BEFORE convicted of statutory rape….) Just for the record — Prisoners are a commoditiy in the larger economy as well, you have no idea….

MISSOURI: Lisa Payne-Naeger on Divorce and the home-schooled kidMs. Payne-Naeger and her husband Jeff are in the St. Charles Missouri Superior Court seeking a divorce. At issue, among other things, is Ms. Payne-Naeger’s right to continue to home-school the children. She has apparently been home-schooling them for several years, but now that they are divorcing, her husband wants them pulled from her jurisdiction, and placed in a private school. The children in question are teenagers, a boy and a girl, 16 and 14 years old respectively. The law guardian (the attorney for the children) wants the mother to submit to tests to test her competence as a teacher. I wonder why after nine years he suddenly decides that his wife is incompetent at educating the children at home? Why did he wait till now that they are divorcing to raise this issue? |

I have been engrossed in matters Faith-Based, HUD-expository, and my growing understanding of the economy, thanks to very good writing by Catherine Austin Fitts which also “fits” with my (deductive, observation-based) research here and elsewhere on the HHS Welfare Reform Money-Laundering Fatherhood/Faith-Based, Bush-Based Bullshit Scam (shell corporations set up to lose HHS money diverted from welfare).Then I started looking at who is the American Bar Association (it’s a corporation, FYI), and what it’s doing – for how much — and why. I was already long beyond the point of “WTF”(slang for “What-the-[unprintable]!”) allegiance or social contract should I have with this country anyhow, given what it’s done to me, and my offspring, and how no one around seems interested in enforcing criminal laws OR family laws. I particularly noted how very little respect for the law most lawyers (in my opinion/acquaintance) seem to have, but those who DO have it, often get “disbarred.”
It’s not just C.A. Fitt’s writing — it’s her story, the story about FHA & HUD and Hamilton Securities, and Change of leadership over at HUD specifically intended to coverup mortgage fraud and the bankrupting of individual families (if not “ethnic cleansing” of inner cities or low-income neighborhoods) by selling out their equity, and all that. For example:
Fees for Our Friends: The Scandal that Taints Andrew Cuomo
By Lucy Komisar Aug 22, 2006 [Part 1]
As Secretary of HUD, Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy of selling defaulted mortgages so that families could keep their homes. Instead, he chose to foreclose on mortgages, which meant that families lost their homes and insiders cleaned up on fire-sale priced properties. The US Treasury also lost billions.
On September 12th, a primary will choose the Democratic candidate for New York Attorney General. The front runner is Andrew Cuomo. . . .
When Cuomo became HUD Secretary in 1997, he axed a federal program that had saved the U.S. $2.2 billion between 1994 and 1997 and reinstituted a system that lost the government money while earning billions for favored friends. He fired a former HUD official [[FITTs/Hamilton]]] whose company designed the program.
That wasn’t the only money big money lost. When Cuomo was secretary, HUD reported that $59 billion was missing! It couldn’t say where they money went, because it failed to produce audited financial statements.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is renowned for corruption. Historically, fraud has been so pervasive and blatant that the Sopranos episode on it was disturbingly realistic. . . .
…Jack Blum,
a Washington lawyer, in the mid-1970s was the chief investigator for Senator Frank Church’s subcommittee on multinational corporations. He exposed the Lockheed bribery scandal and other examples of corporate corruption. Later, he headed Senator John Kerry’s investigations into Iran Contra drug connections and the corrupt bank, BCCI. Blum says, “I know about HUD since the 1970s — the fake mortgages. It’s been going on forever. She [the former HUD official] doesn’t understand that what she got caught up in is part of a pattern.”
FAILURE TO START WITH THE ECONOMIC (ANALYSIS) IS PLANNING FOR ECONOMIC FAILURE. THIS ALSO TIES IN WITH WHAT WE CONSIDER FAMILY-COURT MATERIAL, I.E., TRAFFICKING IN PEDOPHILIA. SEE THE FRANKLIN COVERUP AND ALL THAT. . . POKE AROUND OVER AT SCRANTON POLITICAL TIMES (LACKAWANNA FAMILY COURT TOPIC) — I DOUBT ANYONE OVER THERE IS ACTUALLY PROCESSING THE INFO, BUT I POSTED IT ANYHOW. SO . . . HERE I AM MANY YEARS AFTER SEPARATING FROM ABUSE AND AFTER BEING DRIVEN BACK ON WELFARE OUTRAGEOUSLY, AM STILL DEALING WITH ISSUES OF — ABUSE, AND POVERTY (INABILITY TO RETAIN WORK IN THIS SYSTEM). THE SYSTEM DEPENDS ON YOUR BEING A GOOD NOSE-TO-GRINDSTONE, AND MY PROFESSIONALITY (OK, PROFESSIONAL PRIDE) PLUS COMMON SENSE SAYS, I’M NOT COMPETITIVE ENOUGH TO GET FREE FROM CURRENT (AND ESCALATING) FAMILY ABUSE (NOTICE I DIDN’T SAY “SPOUSAL”) WHICH REQUIRES ECONOMIC RESOURCES, ETC. . . . CLEARLY, IF THE ABILITY TO HOLD A JOB DEFINES THE ABILITY TO EAT — THERE THEN THOSE WHO DON’T GO WITH THE FLOW (AS TO BEING ASSAULTED IN THE HOME) ARE GOING TO RUN INTO PROBLEMS RELATED TO FOOD AND HOUSING. THE SYSTEM IS SOUR. IT TURNS OUT THE MAIN CRIME IS ONLY A COMMERCIAL CRIME — AND AS SUCH, THE COURTS ARE ONLY GOING TO PROTECT SAID COMMERCIAL INTERESTS.
Well, most of this post is simply someone else’s writing. I’ve looked at this material elsewhere (less in depth on “reality blogger”) and am usually a little wary of what might be some ex-confederate racist/sexist line of reasoning. But, it’s a simple enough narrative and brings up the points.
(The purple part is simply derobing religion — below that is the main show for today. Have a nice one . . . .)
Little intro:
Apparently this post comes from approximately February 2010, though parts (links) from it are later. I absolutely and categorically disclaim any responsibility for any actions you do or not take as a result of believing, or thinking you do, any of the information below.
Before you tell me I’ve lost it by posting from “killing your straw man,” below, you’ve GOT to read this, which I’d rank somewhere up with “Black is White Law Dictionary” (a pun, obviously, on Blacks’):
RELIGIONS AND POLITICAL PARTIES —
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? (realityblogger, 5/2012)
Apparently religious responses to his (or her) article HERE got him (or her) thinking:
(LGH comments, I assure you, I have thought about this topic long and hard as I look up “faith-based” institutions and read about their various fraud, and reflect on my own experiences walking in and out of various doors seeking refuge from domestic violence — and then walked into domestic violence support groups which were filled with Christians seeking refuge from violence by spouses, such as the local deacon (or a policeman, etc.))
This is just warm-up, from the blog:
- Both are the subjects of countless jokes made in poor taste.Both rely on the ignorance of their members with regards to their business related and political activities…And both despise watch-dog groups.Both accept and rely on donations.Both have leaders that wear expensive suits and receive very good pensions.Both promise hope and change to the poor and working class, but never quite deliver.Both offer a welfare system that’s never quite enough to really make a difference in society… other than to maintain the poverty level.“In God We Trust” is the credo of both – after all, it says so on the thing they both worship the most.
True enough. There’s more….
- Both start out with a corporate charter of beliefs by the leaders of that religion or political party.These charters and beliefs are claimed by both entities to be divinely inspired.Both change these charters and beliefs as times change, as technology improves, as law requires it, and as opposing knowledge and books become more accessible to the public at large.Both are registered with the State via their Articles of Incorporation.Both write and re-write history; and then edit and interpret their own writings.They are both a form of control, both in political and moralcorrectness.Members of both fear excommunication and public ridicule for questioning or acting against these chartered beliefs.Political parties make the laws of the land and command consent, while religions teach that members must follow the “law of the land” as God commands.Both give power to otherwise powerless men, who dress in robes and judge all people.Political parties call law the Bible. Religions call the Bible the law.Both must swear upon and to the bible (God) before giving testimony.
Both project a public persona that each is separate from the other…
Yet both are hopelessly intertwined.
You must be registered to both to be a member…
There’s more:
- Both claim to be transparent and honest, doing their deeds in the light…Yet both are well known to hide some of their deeds in the dark; without disclosure, and even against the very ethics they set for themselves.Both claim to be non-profit… And both avoid taxes on their for-profit ventures.One allows atonement of sin through faith, followed by probationary good behavior…The other allows atonement of sin through prison (or execution), followed by probationary good behavior…And both offer these atoning people free bibles and religious last rights. [“rites”]Both include many minority races and creeds…
Now you KNOW this part is right:
- Both preach these rights, ethics, morals, and family values virtually non-stop…Both continuously break their promises to uphold these or live by example.Both have been caught many times over in pedophilia related activities…Both are very protective of this fact and the people involved in these activities…Both have public relations officers to handle the public’s outrage at these actions so as to ensure the continuity of the corporation…And both are protected from these crimes and from any major public scrutiny or punishment by the court system (BAR) and in the mainstream media (Public Opinion).
KILLING YOUR STRAW MAN — REALITY BLOGGER
By understanding the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reporting system (CAFR), and how all corporations including our government must report their monetary holdings and investments, you will then be able to understand what I’m about to tell you now.
Let’s start with a little history lesson that came as quite a shock to me…
This country is in its fourth (4th) bankruptcy since its humble beginnings. Huh?
1791
1. The first (1st) bankruptcy was officially declared in 1791. This was a time of many changes in America. Perhaps most notable of these, was the signing of the Bill Of Rights representing the first ten amendments to and the final passing of the Constitution for the United States, which happened December 15th of that year, shortly after our first bankruptcy. This is of course significant as our God given rights are solely dependent on this document, though they were generally accepted common law rights throughout the world long before America existed.
During each bankruptcy, a war is fought (the revolutionary war in this case) and a new form of currency is always established, since the old one becomes essentially worthless in the new corporate re-structure of each bankruptcy. With the new country, came new money. Several monetary systems were proposed for the early Republic of America. Congress approved the first dollar on August 8, 1786. Once passage of the U.S. Constitution was secured, and the 1st bankruptcy and restructuring was in motion, the secretary of the treasury Alexander Hamilton turned the government’s attention to monetary issues once again in the early 1790’s. On Hamilton’s recommendations, Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1792, which established the dollar as the basic unit of accounting for the United States. At this point, the dollar was still backed by gold.
1861
2. The second (2nd) bankruptcy took place exactly 70 years later, in 1861. The main reason for this is that the restructuring that takes place in a bankruptcy can by law only last or 70 years without being settled. And so in 1861, the country was declared bankrupt once again. Of course there was much more to this planned event in history. As carpetbaggers claimed and stole the land of southern property owners, and the banks and governments bought up land and farmland for pennies on the dollar, the civil war broke out in this year when the southern states began to say no to the northern government and these carpetbaggers. This is often referred to (by southern states especially) as the War Of Northern Aggression. And most southerners will also say that there was certainly nothing civil about the Civil War! And this was quite true when considering that the government is housed in the north (British Columbia and Washington D.C.) and that their aggression was the takeover and corporate restructuring of America. This was not a war over slavery to be sure… and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln happened only after his attempt to depose the central banking structure and establish greenbacks: congressionally printed and controlled money. But in 1863 during the American Civil War, the National Banking Act was passed. This act and its later amended versions essentially taxed states’ bonds and currency out of existence. And so through corporate government legislation in the newly reorganized country, the dollar became the sole currency of the United States (which was still backed by metals then) and remains so in an altered (and worthless) form today.
1931
3. And now we come to the third (3rd) bankruptcy in our countries history, which was 70 years later in 1931. This was the big one. This was the time after the industrial revolution, when population, lawful immigration, jobs, and opportunity were in abundance. The money system was still in real money; meaning trade was done in precious metals like gold and silver coins. Even the paper money was backed by and redeemable for gold and silver at its face value. But, as the anticipated bankruptcy loomed closer and closer, steps were taken by the government to ensure that a new restructuring of the country could take place, ensuring the same bankers and corporate crooks would remain in power. The stock market was deliberately crashed, and the great depression ensued. The population was broke, and their land and property was once again bought for pennies on the dollar by the banks and newly reorganized government. Transfer of wealth is the name of the game, and a new game is played every 70 years.
(1933-1938)
But during 1933 and 1938, as the reorganization of our government and finance laws took place after most small banks were deliberately collapsed and fell into the holdings of the larger banks, a very important thing happened that changed the landscape of our nation: the gold standard was removed and replaced by the Federal Reserve Note (dollar). The House of Representatives accomplished this when they passed House Joint Resolution 192. This new legislature actually outlawed the use of real money (gold and silver) to pay a debt, actually making it illegal to requirereal money to pay for a debt. The dollar (now called the Federal Reserve Note) became “legal tender” and was backed by the supposed full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. However, this paper money – or fiat currency – was in fact worthless due to the absence of real money backing its value.
The dollar is nothing more than an IOU, and only has value if both parties in an exchange verbally or contractually accept it as payment for goods and services while remaining under the illusion (or blind faith) that the government or institution which issues this paper has the power, wealth, and credit to back up this currency. In fact, a few years after this third restructure of the U.S, the government mandated the confiscation of all gold from its citizens – and the transfer of land, property and real wealth was accomplished yet again. Many people say that World War II is what seemingly brought the U.S out of the great depression. In fact, many people recognize that in the past America usually prospers in times of war and shortly thereafter.
2001. As in, 9/11/2001
(LGH COMMENTS: this blogger doesn’t mention but I will — stolen election, Florida, 2000? I DNK — but I do know the first two Executive Orders by then-President GWB — related to Faith Based Office in the White House and in major agencies. the first TWO he issued, meaning,primary to his Presidency. And I’ve been looking at them. They’re a BUNCHof Crooks, not just one or two — and are money laundering. Defrauding the rest of us. It’s outrageous and hidden in the very, very open — just most people are not looking. They’re on the Just Over Broke JOB Market….)
4. Flash forward another 70 years… it’s now 2001. People are prospering. Goods and services are in abundance. The world was at peace (excepting the military black ops and economic hit man type of destabilization of many countries for strategic and natural resource confiscation). Now any good conspiracy buff might note the interesting and overwhelming coincidence in this being the year of the 4th restructuring of our corporate government. Indeed, one might be even more aghast when one realizes that the anniversary of the last bankruptcy from 70 years ago was in fact September 10, 1931, or the day before the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings 1,2, and 7 along with the supposed “attack” on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
War is both a great distraction and a profitable venture for the corporate world governments, and this obviously isn’t the first time war or false flag events have been used in this manner, as a tool for the restructuring of the U.S. government. And we have watched over the last nine years as the dollar crashed, as the real estate and property bubbles burst and are once again being taken over by our government and banks (in a typical transfer of wealth), a complete corporate takeover of the country – which started about 70 years ago with the introduction of the CAFR system – which is now culminating into the nation being completely owned through collective investment by the government owned corporations… we are about to see the dollar become completely worthless right before our eyes (if it isn’t already) and a new form of U.S. currency or world bank currency will likely take its place – right on schedule!
This is the real U.S. history that isn’t in your textbooks.
Ok. So let’s talk about this corporate structure of government. If you haven’t learned about the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and how it is used in corporation and corporate government reporting, see my article about it here:
And, to see what I am apologizing about (with disclaimer) go here:
Also, to learn from the man himself – Mr. Walter Burien – go to: http://CAFR1.COM.
These resources explain and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the U.S. government is indeed a corporation which owns most major and fortune 500 corporations, most of the countries land, utilities, municipalities, parks, golf courses, malls, movie theatres, and so on and so forth.
But let’s talk about who or what the U.S. government really is, besides the most powerful corporation in the world…
So, what is the United States of America?
This is the name of the country in which we all live. It is a collection of 50 unified yet sovereign states which make up the union of the Republic of United States of America.
What is the UNITED STATES?
Ah… now here is where it gets tricky. You see, when a corporation is created, it is always and without exception created using an ALL CAPITAL LETTER name. Thus, while we all live in the United States of America, we are bound by the government of this country, which is the corporation of the UNITED STATES.
For reference and so that there is no doubt of this being true as we continue down the rabbit hole, the definition of the UNITED STATES in Black’s Law dictionary is “…a corporation”. Also, you can look at the UNITED STATES CODE (this being in all capital letters due to its corporate structure representing the codes of the UNITED STATES corporation). The code is: U.S. CODE/TITLE /28/3002/15 (A) (B) (C). These codes state that the UNITED STATES is unequivocally a corporation.
We live in the United States of America, but we do commerce and follow the regulations, statutes, and legalities (which are not actually laws) of the corporate UNITED STATES, for which we are born, or birthed into as debtors and are used as the collateral of this corporation. We are all used as collateral for the government (the corporation) of the UNITED STATES as stated by our Birth Certificate. Because you are a corporate entity of this trust and not a sovereign individual of the Republic, you are susceptible to things like selective service, the draft, income tax, property tax, many other unlawful taxes which only go to fund the corporation and do not in any way fund public interests or services, and other unlawful statutes and rules (which again are not actual laws) like CPS (child protective services) which is in the business of kidnapping children – and even get bonuses for blond haired blue eyed kids, which is why there is such a high turnover rate in that particular job…
Wait a minute! Why am I a corporate entity of the UNITED STATES?
Basically, when my mother and father were married, they signed a marriage contract and received a marriage certificate or license (as did yours and everyone else’s parents, and as did you when and if you were married). If you still have yours, you should get it out and read it.
It states clearly that: The product of this union belongs to the UNITED STATES…
What does this mean, “a product of the UNITED STATES”?
It means that your children are the property of the UNITED STATES. It means that your parents, their parents, your children and your children’s children are or will be a vessel of commerce that is owned by the UNITED STATES corporation. You are an indentured corporate debt slave, who is assigned as collateral for the good faith and credit of the UNTITED STATES as soon as you are born.
And when you are born, you are assigned a corporate number. Actually, because the UNITED STATES commerce laws are in Maritime Law and UCC code, you are really birthed [[“berthed”??]] , very much like a ship at sea is birthed {[berthed]] into a U.S. port and assigned a number of import. Your birth certificate is that contract. It is a contract that is assigned to you as the product of the union of your mother and father, and it indoctrinates you into the UNITED STATES as collateral and assigns you a trust account in which all of your credit and debt is assigned and allotted.
{{NOTE: I’ve heard things about “redemption” and don’t know if this is where he’s going. If so, I’ve heard that’s a trap. Caveat Emptor, just check it out yourself– this is only food for thought..}}
If you’d like to verify this as accurate, I would invite you to try and retrieve your original birth certificate from the UNITED STATES government. You’ll notice that no matter how many times you try and no matter how much you insist, you will never be able to attain the original document that is your birth certificate. You are, however, imbued the privilege of receiving a certified copy of said certificate. Your original certificate is housed in the District of Columbia, Washington D.C, in the ten mile stretch of land which is the corporation of the UNITED STATES. Understand too, that Washington D.C. is not part of the United States of America, and is a corporate structure completely separate from the rest of the country. In short, it is not one of the 50 United States of America.
[[GOOD POINT, and OBVIOUSLY SIGNIFICANT. Three Cities that Rule the World, etc.]]
The average citizen of the UNITED STATES is assigned a value when he/she is born for collateral and credit purposes. After years of inflation, that trust value is up to about 7 million dollars or so at birth. If you would like to verify how much you are worth as a corporate entity of the UNITED STATES, simply take your birth certificate number into your local stock broker and ask him to look up your number.
We also receive a social security number (a corporate number) for which we conduct trade and commerce and are allowed the privilege to start businesses with… and with which we are legally but not necessarily lawfully taxed.
Whew! Let’s slow down a minute. What is the difference between lawful and legal?
This is very important to understand.
Law – God’s law (whether you believe in God or not) is to do no harm to others or their property. This is the basic definition of law. It is also the definition of freedom, for all men are free under God’s law in the United States of America until the point where we break that law. You cannot break the law unless there is a living victim for which you do harm, or do harm to their property.
Legal – The word legal or illegal is a corporate term used to represent a state of being when related to statutes, rules, codes, mandates, and posted limits that are assigned to you by the UNITED STATES. While something can be unlawful, it can be legal. But remember, law always trumps legality. In the case of something being illegal, no living victim is required under corporate legality, and so the STATE assumes the role of the victim. More on this in a minute…
The Constitution For The United States – is the original document and declaration of independence that was written by our founders.
The CONSTITUTION OF THE UNTITED STATES is the legal corporate document that was created by a treasonous Congress in the “Act Of 1871” and which the UNITED STATES continues to fool us all into believing is the same document that our forefathers wrote for our God-given independence. I assure you, it is not. It is a corporate document for a corporation that operates outside of actual constitutional law.
Now, if all of this is alien or too hard to comprehend… believe me I understand. But an easy way to show you how in “the matrix” you really are is this: Go get your wallet, any contracts you’ve signed – like cell phone or rental – any bills you have (which originated with a signed contract or with your social security number), and take out any credit cards or other forms of ID. Now look at your name. Notice it is in all capital letters…
This is your STRAW MAN (unnatural, commerce, corporate) name. Remember, all corporate entities have this capital letter naming structure. This represents the trust account that was assigned to you at birth, and when you were assigned a social security number. This is why the UNITED STATES on your marriage and birth certificate, as well as your name, is printed in all CAPITAL LETTERS. To prove this is true, you can simply take your birth certificate to a stockbroker and have him look up the value of your STRAW-MAN corporate number (the number on your birth certificate). You’ll find that you, or at least your corporate trust, is worth millions or billions of dollars. And if you learn how, you can access that trust account and eliminate all of your debt lawfully, since that debt was a trick of contract by the lending institutions that have already sold that contract. But only if you declare your sovereignty!
You must take the steps to declare yourself a sovereign individual, and declare yourself a “secured party creditor”. But you have a lot of studying to do first. And I’ll update this site as I progress…
What does this declaration of sovereignty do… what benefits does it have?
Whew! Too many to list here…. But here’s one I can’t wait to practice:
Say I run a red light or make an “illegal” u-turn, and a police officer pulls me over. I simply hand him my UCC paperwork, and give him no more than 10 minutes to verify the authenticity of the paperwork and let me go. Because I have declared myself sovereign and immune from the corporation of the UNITED STATES and its rules and regulations, I am not bound by these rules and regulations, nor the fees (taxes) assigned to the violation of them. Lawful and legal are two completely different concepts. I am only bound by God’s law, which is defined as doing anything you what as long as you don’t do any damage to another individual or his/her property – a victim. In the case of making an illegal u-turn, I have not broken God’s law, and there is no living soul as a victim, therefore a police officer that works for the corporate state (UNITED STATES) has no power or jurisdiction over me as a sovereign individual. The victim must be a living, breathing human being. But in the case of traffic rules, the victim is the corporate state, and therefore no individual human being was involved. In other words, no one was harmed by my actions, and so I cannot be detained or fined (taxed) according to the law – which trumps corporate legality. There are no victimless crimes, remember? The kicker is, the reason this is so is because I am on this day not a legal driver but a lawful traveler.
Semantics are everything…
My driver’s license is a permit (not a right, but a privilege) to “drive” for corporate reasons, as in a company car with you being the sub-corporation under the main corporation (UNITED STATES). But as a sovereign individual with God-given rights as afforded by the Constitution For The Untied States, not the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES – as a sovereign individual I am a traveler who is lawfully traveling in the United States Of America, and not a driver who is driving under the corporate auspices and legal permission of the UNITED STATES.
And so if the cop detains me unlawfully, meaning more than 10 minutes, or harasses me in any way by unlawful (but legal under STRAW-MAN names) search, seizure, or slander, I can as a sovereign (not straw-man) individual take the cop to court in what is called a negative averment and sue him for his bond, which is millions of dollars, at which point he will never be able to be bonded again, meaning he can never be an unlawful yet legal cop again. {{??? ??? ???}}} The same holds true with judges and attorney’s, who are legal entities that are bonded by the courts and have no jurisdiction over you in said court unless you are still representing and using only your all-capital name. If your case is not immediately dismissed, you can sue them for their bonds and they will not be attorneys or judges ever again.
By the way… judges are nothing more than glorified attorneys, and therefore have the same bond issuance.
What I’m telling you is that the police, the courts and their judges have no power or jurisdiction over you, and actually you have a higher power than them and can control them, but only if you declare your sovereignty. Everyone else is under their power and jurisdiction simply because they acknowledge that they are in fact the corporate representative of the all capital letter STRAW-MAN name that is on their contracts, licenses, and Id’s.
Let’s talk about attorneys…
Attorneys are cockroaches. They are what you might refer to as corporate yes-men. And you know what? About 70% of our politicians and legislators are BAR attorneys.
So what is an attorney that is a member of the BAR association?
They are employees of the court system (the corporation) of the UNITED STATES and have loyalty only to the courts. They are sworn by oath to uphold the “procedure” (not the constitutional law) of the court system first, always above your needs. They are there to assure that the court doesn’t make a mistake in its legal procedure, where you might win your case, and they are there to ensure continued taxation by fees and decisions.
Never hire a “BAR” attorney. By accepting a BAR attorney to represent you in court, you are literally assigning all of your rights away and admitting incompetence to represent yourself, making you a ward of the court due to mental incapacity. The only exception is an attorney who is not a member of the BAR association.
{{{FYI — that happens to be true. . . . . That’s also exactly how I lost the privilege of seeing my daughters complete their growth to adulthood. An emergency (predictable, foreseen, but it still happened) had been created. Everyone (including law enforcement and courts) let it percolate til ripe for picking, while I was going nuts trying to avert it. my knee-jerk DUMB reaction was to go get an attorney who did NOT ask for a bench warrant for anyone’s arrest, and bring y kids back, but recommended I go to a mediator and settle it later. . . . .! ! ! ! That attorney is still doing business, but afterwards, i wasn’t — I had been snared by the system by resorting to it to stay alive previously! }}}
But what will really blow your mind, and the most devastating element of a BAR attorney is this: The BAR association is located in London, England!
Even more scary is that the small part of London that houses Parliament, the House of Commons, The Crown, and the Bar association is not a part of England or London, but a completely separate state (or country – a corporation), as is Washington D.C. (District of Columbia), and the Vatican in Rome… all independent corporate states.
This ultimately means that an attorney takes an oath to the Queen/Crown of England, meaning the queen and all that she represents. And since judges aren’t really judges, and are actually attorneys, you know where their loyalty lies as well.
And remember, 70% of our higher government officials are attorneys who have sworn allegiance to the Crown, who owns the UNITED STATES, and runs the BAR.
The original 13th amendment to the Constitution for the Untied States says:
“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain, any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
Originally written in 1810, much debate has ensued on whether this amendment was ratified or not. Most constitutional scholars say yes, and point to the senate’s journal for proof of its ratification. Of course, after reading this amendment, who would say no? The answer is… the corporation that is running the show, whose loyalties and oaths lay with the Crown and Queen of England, and not with the people under the United States Constitution. The 13th amendment of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES is the “abolition of slavery” amendment. But remember, this is not the real Constitution for the United States, which serves the Republic of America and by which all sovereign individuals who live in God-given freedom adhere to.
I guess its up to you to decide which one of these to follow. And in making the choice to be free, there is only one choice!
For more opinion and fact on the 13th amendment, including a list of politicians and other prominent figures who have taken titles of nobility to the Queen and other countries (including: George Herbert Walker Bush, Ronald Reagan, Generals Colin Powel and Norman Schwarzkopf, Alan Greenspan, Rudi Giuliani, and many, many more…) see my rant here:
On a different note, I’d like to give you another reason to declare your sovereignty. But to really understand, we must go back to the subject of money again…
How is money created?
Movies like Zeitgeist are great tools for waking up people to the realities of the monetary system and it’s ownership by the private central banks that make up the Federal Reserve. The Fractional Reserve System indeed allows the banks to create money out of thin air. But this is only part of reality. For the way money is really created is quite astounding, and guaranteed to piss off a lot of honest taxpaying people!
Here we go…
Do you own a home? A car? Do you have a credit card or a student loan?
Well, all of these different types of debt began with you filling out a promissory note (a contract). When this is submitted to the bank, and after an “approval process”, you receive that money by signing this contract. And the bank tells you quite dishonestly that you owe them a debt for that amount of money, and gives you permission to amortize the payment of that loan over a set amount of time, usually 30 years for a mortgage. But, they also charge you interest for this convenient “service”. That means that by the end of those 30 years you’ll probably have paid double if not triple what the actual loan amount was at the signing of the original contract (promissory note).
But there is one thing that the bank is not telling you. One very, very big piece of the puzzle…
Are you ready?
According to the Federal Reserve banks, and printed in their banking rulebooks, money is created when a person (you) signs a contract (promissory note) with a bank.
Huh…?
Let me explain…
Last year I remember hearing about a campaign to protect people from foreclosure by these banks and mortgage companies called “Show Me The Note!” At the time, I did not understand the significance of this simple but effective and protective statement. Now I do…
“Show Me The Note” is quite a valid request. It simply means that you are requesting the original contract (promissory note) that was signed by yourself and the foreclosing bank when the money was created and given to you to buy your home.
But you see… the bank cannot ever produce this note. And here’s why…
The bank sells your note (promissory note or deed) to the Federal Reserve the minute you sign it, and the Fed then gives that bank the amount that it then “loans” to you. Therefore, the bank is at a balance of $0.00 dollars at the point of inception and payment for your loan. Remember, this is how money is “created” according to the Federal Reserve banking rules and regulations.
The problem that these banks have is that they no longer hold the note (title) to your home, because they have already sold it at face value to the Federal Reserve. And in order for a creditor (the bank) to make a claim against the debtor (you), they must in a court of “law” show proof of their claim to collect your supposed debt to them. However, the only proof of their claim for the foreclosure of your home is in fact that original note (promise to pay, promissory note) that you signed, which created the money that enabled the bank to give you that loan in the first place – money out of thin air!
Remember, money is created only when you or I sign a contract to get “credit”. It is the very fact that all of this information is not disclosed to us that makes this contract null and void. Full disclosure must accompany any contract lest it be invalid and unlawful.
Your loan contract was sold to the Federal Reserve (a private corporate central bank) by the bank or mortgage company with whom you signed your contract. It’s gone… vanished… paid off! The Federal Reserve then bundles those deeds (contracts) and sells them as securities and bonds, to countries like China, Russia, and whoever else will buy them. So in essence, China may already own the title to your home, or at least it thinks it does…
{{Catherine Austin Fitts, while at FHA, was describing how these notes (mortgages) are sold…}}}
And this is why the bank has no lawful grounds to foreclose on you. They do not hold a lawful lean on your home. You owe nothing to anybody! You created that money legally through the bank and Federal Reserve by accessing your trust account assigned to you by the UNITED STATES when they took your freedom and liberty and put your wealth and property at risk starting on the day you were born (birthed).
The principle and interest you pay to the bank is pure profit for the next 30 years, because you signed a contract saying that you would pay that amount with your home and land as collateral. But for a contract to be lawful, there must be full disclosure of these little facts. Since this was obviously not disclosed to you, all of these mortgage and other contracts are null and void. The bank has no contract, no proof of claim against your debt, and no rights to force you to pay them anything.
If this sounds like a copout from paying your bills, remember that the bank never risked anything, and they never gave you a penny of their own money. You did a favor to the banking system by creating new money. You created commerce. Nothing more…
And you are entitled to this money (worthless paper used for commerce) as an indentured citizen of the UNITED STATES who is used as collateral and assigned this value at birth.
And remember… due to the Fractional Reserve Banking System created by the Federal Reserve, the Fed creates 40 times the amount of your “loan” for its use, again making money out of thin air.
I hope that you are beginning to understand that this is another of the biggest scams in the history of scams, and that all bank loans, from credit cards to student loans to mortgages work in this same exact way, secured or unsecured. Again, this is how money is created into the economy, per the rules of the Federal Reserve Bank, the private corporation unaffiliated with our government or our nation, who control our monetary policy and can destroy the value of the dollar at any time the choose.
Do you really feel guilty about reclaiming your piece of the pie?
The only way to truly benefit from this freedom is by declaring your individual God-given rights of sovereignty through a UCC (Universal Commercial Code) filing. You must offset your debt lawfully as afforded you. You must become a Secured Party Creditor.
I cringe when I hear people say they aren’t going to fight the system and instead are going to give up their house. They feel hopeless. They feel like they can’t win…
But the truth is that there was never anything to lose! The bank has no claim!
But, I understand. Most will not buck the system simply because they do not understand the system and how the Constitution for the United States was set up to ensure this type of unlawful action like bank foreclosure can never be done to us. I took me a very long time to come to this comprehension. This is how freedom works, and it only works if you claim it.
This is the forbidden knowledge…
I guess it all boils down to this… What is an education?
If an education is defined as simply four years of partying and getting drunk in a frat house while barely passing the exams of one of the most sub-standard collegial educational systems in the first world (I believe we are 39th on the list) of which most of the information taught is to train us on how to follow these rules instead knowing and learning the actual laws… and if your level of education is defined by the amount of money paid in order to receive a less than prestigious diploma stating grade level and accomplishment… then I am happy to say that I am a college dropout! I am self-educated to the point that normal conversations with doctorate level graduates equate to a conversation with a child who still believes in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny… simply because that is what they are taught in the corporate indoctrination centers that we call schools. Rational thought, self-awareness, and sovereignty is not taught in school. And Law is not the prevailing wisdom in law school.
Then, when you realize that everything you see in the movies, television, and on the news is specifically designed to uphold the illusionary state of unconsciousness that most of us live in regarding our debt slavery, that’s the point where normal conversation as defined by the media driven society becomes unbearable. And fitting in at parties becomes impossible. I’m now the crazy guy… the one talking out of my butt. I’m the one who, despite the beauty, glory, and not to mention the fact of the information I try and relay, I am labeled as the negative one… the downer.
And so now I’m the antisocial one… the one who doesn’t go to parties. The one who cannot do small talk. And I’m the one that cannot keep normal friends simply because normal means brainwashed! And normalcy is not freedom in any way.
The friends I have made are necessarily informed or at least curious, somewhat awake, and want to learn what I have already learned or want to teach what I am seeking to learn. When you do meet these people, you develop a friendship and a trust that is unknown to most; kinship through shared plight.
And to anyone reading this, I have only this to say. I may not know you. You may think that no one really knows you. But I hope that you haven’t reached the point in your life where you’ve given up, where you’ve lost all hope, where learning was something you did as a teenager, and where happiness equates to blissful ignorance. I hope that you wont let these corporate monsters force you to be a victim of this. I hope this reaches you with the spirit it was intended, and I wish for you the best in whatever you do.
A sheep you are not… for you have read this far!
[Again, Yellow-background and Purple-background sections were quoting “Realitybloger” posts except where I may have commented and indicated this was my comment — not often. The “I” in the writing represents a different blogger who also happens to be Clint Richardson.] The following is back to my voice. ///LGH during 4/2016 update for Table of Contents purposes]
(etc. Check it out on your own responsibility… See also Scranton Political Times, where I have posted more “stuff” and my reasoning to go along with it, on maybe three different topics, recently. This is not overly simplistic — It literally makes sense with observed reality. Watch who you contract with! !!! See also “musicians4freedom,” and in general — hey, look it up yourself, OK?)
I know slavery when I see it — bondage, extortion etc– and we are in it. It has most of the country acting crazy, such that they cannot literally afford to protect their neighbors fully — or they’ll lose their own place in society, and with it, access to enough debt-dollars (Monopoly Money) to stay housed . . . . . . . Busy, busy, busy . . . .
Franklin Coverup (San Jose Mercury news article, ca. 1996, on 1980s Nebraska — Money, Drugs, Kids, etc.)
Nick Bryant on Pedophilia & Politics
Catherine, The Solari Report on August 2, 2012 at 8:08 am
By Catherine Austin FittsThis Thursday on the Solari Report, I will be talking with Nick Bryant, author of The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal
Two stories have brought the topic of pedophilia front and center. The first story involves continuing allegations regarding priests and children in the Catholic Church worldwide. It is now estimated that the Catholic Church has paid out more than $3 billion in settlements related to sex abuse allegations in North America alone. Eight Catholic diocese[s] have declared bankruptcy due to the related expense, including those in Tucson, Spokane, Portland, Davenport, Iowa and San Diego. The second story involves a sex scandal in the athletic program at Penn State University.
While these two ongoing scandals have received significant attention in the corporate media, they barely hint as to the real phenomenon of pedophilia and child sex slavery in America. There is, however, one story that has been the subject of serious investigative journalism that offers rare insight into the phenomenon. That is the story of the Franklin Scandal.
Nick Bryant describes his book on the Franklin scandal as the “story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a pair of political powerbrokers who had access to the highest levels of our government. Nebraska legislators nearly exposed the ring in 1990, but its unveiling had the potential to produce seismic political aftershocks. The legislators’ efforts resulted in rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering corruption of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI, Secret Service, and Justice Department, effecting an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network.”
The Franklin scandal was a story that touched me personally. In the spring of 1989, as Assistant Secretary of Housing, I was ordered to award government grants illegally and refused. I believed that the Cabinet Secretary who ordered me was being blackmailed. It was only later reading about the Franklin scandal that I realized that he had been implicated as the scandal attracted headlines in one of the leading Washington newspapers at that time.

What’s funny is that “Defending Holy Matrimony” (org. not located as yet, though it’s quoted on the web; it’s not a USPTO trademark, for sure) — seems to understand the origins (as to setting up different types of courts) better than most mothers, and probably fathers, do. There’s a lot of information out there, but a clear intent to change (centralize, fasci-cize) the US Court system to better order services. We already know many of those services involve hiding money; ergo — something ain’t right here…. This is priority information to understand as an “American” including determining (for yourself, if it applies) what citizenship means — because it must may be the men and women in black robes (from pulpit OR bench) may not hold the same allegiance, as many surely don’t.
Summarizing Faith-Based, Marriage-Promoting, Change-Agents and Slush Funds…
leave a comment »
CROOKS.
Your Money, Their Tax Exemption,
Your Kids Gone (or Abused) courtesy
Your Government. Your President(s) Promoting it, Too,
Clinton, Bush, Obama, ….???
Name me one that didn’t promote faith, marriage and fatherhood.
Or have a background involving some real estate deals pre-Presidency.
I’ve been looking (too long, probably) at what these organizations do, how they behave, and what the pattern is. Unilaterally, it’s sickening (i.e., it’s corrupt). I believe that collectively this is the “air we breathe” and that it gets back to the money system — a dual class cartel being created and expanded, where those closest to the “Court” may save or prosper their own asses — but it will be at the expense of ethics, truth, and others. This will lead to more bloodshed, as some are going to resist by non-economic means.
All of this may sound complex (particularly as I don’t present it visually in the best manner — I’d be better in a Q&A, or live; and don’t have graphics skills). But as to concepts, it isn’t. If you can think conceptually (and surviving depends on more of it these days) — you can understand these concepts. The thing is, most people’s lives don’t require analyzing so much of their government from top to bottom, while not being IN it or ON it. Those of us who got so marginalized and don’t like fake answers (hard truths are OK, “Placebo” truths are not) — have been doing so.
THINGS FLOW: Electricity, water, air (lava, sometimes), sap, blood, lymph (with help), sewage, OK, MILK, semen, right?– and money.
AND – information / IDEAS — in the form of words, sounds, images, smells — almost anything that involves one of the five senses. This is your: face to face, and technology over the decades: Paper (Gutenberg), Radio, Telegraph, and now, The Internet — Social Media — the web. . . . . Etc.
(Some — many — also assert that spirit exists, and as such, it’s been compared to: wind, fire, and water. (“Earth, Wind and Fire?”)
THINGS FLOW — and they flow GEOGRAPHICALLy and CHRONOLOGICALLY. MONEY FLOWS.
In a sense, property ownership ALSO “flows” — from one owner to another.
THINGS FLOW — and when they do, there are conduits, surfaces, or carriers (irrigation systems, etc.) through which they flow. Or seep. Or, are transmitted.
Extended illustration that WHAT flows, matters. Maybe some things shouldn’t be:
As they flow, and over time, they sometimes are themselves transformed (water) or transform (give life — or death) to — other things. Right now in Pennsylvania, there’s the issue of SHALE (“fracking”) which forcibly injects a mixture of liquids (carrying pollutants) to get the desired oil out, I guess. (see link) Here’s a description which proves that, if you flush something out that wasn’t meant to be flushed — there is a resulting flow of crap, which has to be hauled away. I seems that presently the Governor of PA (Corbett) is appealing municipalities protests of an unconstitutional (and so ruled, by the Supreme Court of PA) restriction on local municipalities to protest zoning that would — enable this fracking, I think. What did the GOV do? Well, the apparatus was already set — there were states’ attorneys, and a (centralized development agency), the OECD, over which he appointed a crony (“walker”) (or, at least donor to his campaign, and with a financial interests in defeating this Ruled-Unconstitutional act. Power at work…).
Now, what to do with it? This is about FLOW and just an illustration. A large one, of course:
Flowback and Brine Treatment in Pennsylvania
The Municipal Authority of McKeesport accepts 80,000 gallons per day, which is then mixed with treated sewage and dumped into the Monongahela River upstream from Pittsburgh. Hawg Hauling is part of Chesapeake Energy.
Somewhere between 20% and 40% of the water used for hydro-fracing a gas well returns to the surface as flowback, and later as produced water. In addition to the frac fluids added by the gas drilling companies, this water picks up other contaminants from deep in the Earth (~ 7,000 feet deep) with one of the most notable ingredients being salt.
Let’s talk about what’s in it: (from same site — just browse…)
about which, per the EPA
Trihalomethanes (THM) are a group of four chemicals that are formed (along with other disinfection byproducts) when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter in water. The trihalomethanes are chloroform, bromodi/chloromethane, dibromo/chloromethane, and bromoform (I inserted the “/”s)
That’s sweet, disinfecting with chlorine and other agents creates Chloroform, something used to kill butterflies and sometimes aid in a kidnapping.
BACK TO TOPIC ABOUT THE FLOW OF IDEAS —
AND WITH THEM, MONEY. SUCH AS IT IS….
ANOTHER THING THAT SEEMS TO “FLOW” (WITH CERTAIN “CARRIER” ITEMS) IS — POWER. AND THAT’S WHAT WE NEED TO BE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT, BECAUSE THAT POWER INCLUDES THE POWER TO INCARCERATE, THE THUMBS-UP OR THUMBS-DOWN POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH OVER PEOPLE, OR GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
SOME PEOPLE are just REAL INTENT in consolidating power, and have developed many ways to do so.
In my quest to see why I couldn’t even break a lousy individual (batterer husband) — or my own family off me, I came to understand more and more of these matters affecting the courts, and to understand (I believe) the courts for what they are — gateways to the flow of power DOWNWARDS and not for the right reasons. I’ve seen enough, and while knowledge is power, it is the delivery system which really counts (which those holding power certainly know) — as well as the MAINTENANCE OF MYTH:
When it comes to MAINTENANCE OF MYtH — there’s nothing like religion + internet. When it comes to hiding assets, there’s nothing like nonprofits and the internet — and pre-existing institutions. When it comes to DISTRACTION — there’s nothing like trapping people’s time in a SINGLE system (with captive, so to speak) audiences — rather than understanding how systems interact with each other.
As we speak, I have been accumulating layers (weaving, as it were) of understanding of various threads. ALL of those threads lead to distribution of money and bring up the question of the IRS. This brings up the question of whose bright idea it, and the Federal Reserve, and so many other coordinated things that they absolutely do comprise a FABRIC with a certain MODEL that is being (has been) stretched over the U.S. over time.
The CORE of this model is — I’m sure of it now — ECONOMIC
It is the centralization of wealth (as opposed to “money”)
with frightening systems of control, destruction, incarceration, potential forced psychiatric drugging, or simply peddling of narcotics (in addition to the drugging of kids in foster care — or schools — to control them, as well as the elderly, as well as the mentally unstable, as well as the . . . (get it?) )
we have become also accustomed (too many of us) to believe that DOLLARS are MONEY —
when Dollars are NOT real money– Dollars are Debt-Notes.
They might as well be play-dough.
And too many legislators have a dual allegiance — one of which is in the Vatican.
The others which say they aren’t Catholic have forgotten that George W. Bush has been called a better Catholic the John F. Kennedy. JFK actually had a fight with his conscience where faith fought his oath as President of the United States to uphold and defend the Constitution.
I don’t think the former Presidential contestant, Rick Santorum (nor, Michelle Bachmann)
would have had such troubling thoughts as a conscience of the law of the land might give.
They do seem to center geographically on Washington, D.C. (and historically so), with of course hot spots in various states where certain (nonprofit trade associations) have coalesced. Like, Denver, or Chicago — or some in California (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco). In the middle of the country, Minnesota (out of all places) has been a hotspot of “DV” activity. Wisconsin seems to have been a test state almost, for welfare reform (Tommy Thompson, etc.) and is the home state of this “AFCC” I keep talking about. . . . . . Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma are — well, what they are (very “fatherhood” friendly). Don’t ask me why NY comes to mind in this area — but it doesn’t.
LET’s CHANGE GEARS:
This blog has been “FAMILY COURT” focused (for its duration). However, as I kept pulling strands like this — ON MARRIAGE AND FAITH-BASED GRANTEES, SET UP BY HHS COMPASSION GRANTS, MARKETING MATERIALS FROM “SMARTMARRIAGE.COM” CONFERENCEES, DIVERTING FUNDS FROM WELFARE (NEEDY, OFTEN SINGLE-MOTHER HOUSEHOLDS) TO END UP IN PROGRAM HANDS, AS THE “LOW-INCOME” POPULATION STAY THAT WAY — BUT AT LEAST HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BECOMING PART OF A SOCIAL SCIENCE ENGINEERING TEST RUN, IN ASSOCIATION WITH COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION INSTITUTES ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY “CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE” LAND, INCLUDING IN GEORGIA, DENVER, AND ELSEWHERE: **
. . . . I kept running smack into the problem that, the problem is the dual class system set up by Nonprofit status, to start with. Nonprofits form boards, have salaries paid, either do (which = prosperity) sell out to HHS policy (which is itself blended with corporate wealth, see GWBush, already) — or go the private foundation route (i.e., PRIVATE wealth) — and from that platform, go about attempting to restructure the entire PUBLIC institution infrastructure, for its own good (as defined by the privately-founded wealth) etc. Roughly speaking, this might be called — and was exemplified by, the Robert Rectors (Heritage Foundation — i.e., just let us BE the United States Government, after all, we already know how to run things) versus the Peter Edelmans (Georgetown Law, and with the proven track record in Civil Rights, and in association with Children’s Defense Fund, see (his wife), Marian Wright Edelman, who are — let us FIX the United States Government — and by the way, we are taking private wealth.
What about people whose goal is NOT world change (“OUR version, for everyone — not THEIR version, for everyone), but, supporting ourselves and our families, staying active in our communities, and having time left to sleep — plus food to eat? Suppose we are happy within normal spheres of endeavor — we may want to travel some around the globe, but are not invested in owning and running it?
If I had to go to dinner with one of the two, I’d pick the Edelmans any day, but I do not endorse either of their policies; both are “change agents” and believe that their collective personal vision should be inflicted on future generations, whereas, I’m a single mother (or was), and have daughters — and just don’t happen to agree. Why? Because there’s such a thing as too much “SYSTEM.” Whoever runs a system for the nation, controls the nation — and a lot of its funding. And the public school system is similar to the family law system. They’re both here, feed on each other, and put IDEAS (not just people) in boxes, demand payment from someone else for doing this, but when it comes to FENCES (regulations on the administrators of the system), then the parents and nonparents supporting these systems — are FENCED out. See “metal detectors” and “lockdown.” I cannot think of a more overt collective attack on this country than those two systems, combined, have done to its children — and with the children, the parents who actually DO care about them, but must fight the government for access to their own kids, or a relationship with them.
In short, I don’t believe in nationwide SYSTEMS, period, except where absolutely essential. I say that having (sort of) survived an abusive “nuclear family” system and am still reeling from the extended family (plus friends) GANG simply because my children were wonderful (and irresistible), and, can you spell, “the love of money”? I believe this is what middle-aged people (both genders) do when their own (professionally OK, or even successful) lives are simply boring, unrewarding, or meaningless.
(SO, that long link above link is to a topic on Scranton PT which has a recent dredging of the marriage- and faith-based shell corps (and resulting headlines about their various frauds) AND shows how a major community change initiative by Saul Alinsky (Industrial Areas Foundation — now based out of Grace Episcopal in Chicago) (a) worked and (b) morphed from “using” the access to people that churches represented, to strengthening churches AS institutions and centers for receiving (federal) grants to change communities. It seems the HHS was fine with that — and somehow money is getting lost in the process.
CHURCHES COMMUNITY CHANGE AGENTS WITH CONTROL-CENTRAL:
A few of the posts (on that topic & forum) also uncovered in the process a COPYCAT of the Industrial Areas Foundation adapted to Christianity — or at least the veneer of churchianity — apparently some woman was overly impressed by some man who (it turned out) had himself been through PICO training. What “PICO” is appears to be a recruiting process — an organization trawls locally for leadership material and then recruits them into separate membership which becomes a “change agent” and then that local leaders goes forth and conquers. . . . . . . . I guess this is an alternative to normal judicial & legislative processes, perhaps…. (A SAMPLE COMMENT)
Here’s re: PICO, allegedly modeled after Saul Alinksy ideas and around neighborhood organizing. Apparently neighborhoods now being more fractured, they headed for the churches (ca. 1980s). Interesting and relevant from wikipedia. PICO (Pacific Institute for Community Organizing) started in Oakland, CA 1972, by a Jesuit priest, John Bauman
PICO conducts six-day national leadership development seminars four times a year, teaching the theory and practice of congregation-based organizing. Each year an additional seminar is presented in Spanish. Local affiliates also provide members and leaders with training on building and sustaining strong organizations, identifying potential leaders through one-on-one relational meetings, researching community issues, developing budgets, and working with public officials.[11]
PICO leader attracted to ideas of Saul Alinksy, i.e. incl. Alinsky’s tactics were often unorthodox. In Rules for Radicals Alinsky wrote, “[t]he job of the organizer is to maneuver and bait the establishment so that it will publicly attack him as a ‘dangerous enemy.'” According to Alinsky, “the hysterical instant reaction of the establishment [will] not only validate [the organizer’s] credentials of competency but also ensure automatic popular invitation.”[8]
PICO is basically community organizing to solve the world’s (i.e., it mentions urban, suburban and rural) projects — with connections to Central America and Rwanda…
In PICO’s congregation-community model, congregations of all denominations and faiths serve as the institutional base for community organizations. Rather than bring people together simply based on common issues like housing or education, the faith-based or broad-based organizing model makes values and relationships the glue that holds organizations together.
PICO builds community organizations based on religious congregations, schools and community centers, which are often the only stable civic gathering places in many neighborhoods
REGARDING the North County Sponsoring Committee (aka Faith Works) — it’s basically a PICO affiliate.
FROM 2002 return, its nonprofit purpose is to provide leadership training:
To strengthen North San Diego County families and communities by assisting religious congregations and other community groups in the development of leadership that is educated and organized for effective participation in civic life
No officers paid yet, and no employees. Largest expense under “other” includes PICO consulting fee: $14,675, plus training fees and training mileage:
This is fascinating — but mostly in its context, which I realize you are not, just now.
