The American taxpayers have paid 40 BILLION Dollars, in taxes to be taken off of our near future paychecks in ADDITIONAL Federal “withholding” to AIG and their employees to continue operations, salaries and bonuses as they have been, WITHOUT ANY LOSS.  AIG employees and the other bailout, stimulus, and TARP BIG Corporate Interests and Huge Bank entity employees that have and will be receiving taxpayer money to continue operations, are the ONLY taxpayers who haven’t lost 40 – 50% of their pensions and 401k programs.  Go figure!

Isn’t that special?

Now do you see why FREEDOM means freedom FROM Government?  Do you, now, see why the Constitution is NOT a living document, to be changed at the whim of the U.S. Congress or the Judicial branches?

Now, because We The People, let the U.S. Congress AND the Judicial Branch do what these scofflaws wanted, no matter how contemptuous of the LAWS written in The Constitution, over the last nine or more decades, our earnings are going to pay for the perversions, pensions and 401k programs of others who are cronies of the Federal Government and THE FEDERAL RESERVE.  

1.  
   1. What have we done to ourselves?
   2. How come we don’t teach our children the “meaning” of freedom in school?
   3. How come we don’t teach our children why freedom creates individual prosperity for the vast majority of the average common people?
   4. How come we don’t compel our public school to teach our children how freedom not only creates individual prosperity but also provides for popular individual sovereignty and power OVER Government?
   5. How come we didn’t compel our schools to teach our children why Socialist and Communist programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, Universal Health Care and numerous other so-called “Social” programs result in the equal distribution of misery where all people, other than “cronies” of the Government live in poverty and end up in a state where people in such societies do not help, or even care to give good will toward their fellow man because, “Government is there for that!  That is what our taxes are for.”  So in the end all people, now equally poor, are nothing but a number, with no name, being “taken care of” by the cold uncaring hands of Government in all manner of bureaucratic Socialist / Communist programs.
   6. How come we don’t compel schools to teach our children that Communist countries choked full of SOCIALIST programs like Social Security and Medicare and Universal Health Care, etc, etc, etc, have MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION people for the purpose of controlling them so that they will not be free and be able to individually make money so that they could have a better life?
   7. How come we don’t teach our children the IMPORTANCE of morality, faith and Good Will toward men in our society of THE FREE?
   8. How come we didn’t have our schools teach our children why and HOW our Constitution protects us from what our Government is doing to us right now?
   9. How come we didn’t have our schools teach our children that The Constitution cannot protect itself?
   10.  How come we didn’t teach our children what our founding fathers documented about freedom and our Constitution, that it is up to each one of us, individually, to stay informed and to personally protect our Constitution and the LAWS in it, which are written to shackle the Federal Government, so that they do not destroy our Freedom which is the generator creator, via the blessings of God, of individual prosperity and a great economy?
   11. How come we don’t know or understand what President George Washington stated: “A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?”
   12. How come the vast majority of our people think we have a Democracy, when all our Founding Fathers said we have a Republic?
   13. How come so many people don’t know that a democracy is where 51% of the people steal, enslave and control the other 49%?
   14. How come most people don’t know the following quote from Benjamin Franklin:

About the only place you can get a proper education on the tenets of FREEDOM, Liberty, American values, our unique American God fearing reverent culture, our American Heritage, rugged individualism and leadership needed to steer our country back from the abyss of Socialism, Communism and Fascism and back toward Liberty and individual prosperity for your son/s is The Boy Scouts of America.  Just read what they are all about and when you finally realize what the meaning of FREEDOM is and what is happening to our country today, the values of Boy Scouts will bring a tear of happiness and hope for them from your heart.

In light of the “Godlessness” of Political Correctness run amok, foisted on us by the mass behavior modification techniques of The Trilateral Commission , founded by the owners of THE FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM”, who ownes the vast majority of the main stream media, combined with the mind bending of public schools, and the U.S. Government, that has caused the vast majority of our problems, we need all the leaders, of the Boy Scout caliber, we can muster.

I suggest we all get educated as to the one and only meaning of freedom (self Government under the laws and justice of God and what We The People want, not what elitists want and believe which is to control us and our earnings) and all the canons thereof, BEFORE it is TOO LATE! ; And our children, and grandchildren end up paying taxes for U.S. Government and their crony Banks and Corporation employee’s pension programs, when our own posterity has NOTHING!!

NEW YORK —  Trillions in stock market value — gone. Trillions in retirement savings — gone. A huge chunk of the money you paid for your house, the money you’re saving for college, the money your boss needs to make payroll — gone, gone, gone.

Whether you’re a stock broker or Joe Six-pack, if you have a 401(k), a mutual fund or a college savings plan, tumbling stock markets and sagging home prices mean you’ve lost a whole lot of the money that was right there on your account statements just a few months ago.

But if you no longer have that money, who does? The fat cats on Wall Street? Some oil baron in Saudi Arabia? The government of China?

Or is it just — gone?

If you’re looking to track down your missing money — figure out who has it now, maybe ask to have it back — you might be disappointed to learn that is was never really money in the first place.

Robert Shiller, an economist at Yale, puts it bluntly: The notion that you lose a pile of money whenever the stock market tanks is a “fallacy.” He says the price of a stock has never been the same thing as money — it’s simply the “best guess” of what the stock is worth.

Shiller uses the example of an appraiser who values a house at $350,000, a week after saying it was worth $400,000.

“In a sense, $50,000 just disappeared when he said that,” he said. “But it’s all in the mind.”

Though something, of course, is disappearing as markets and real estate values tumble. Even if a share of stock you own isn’t a wad of bills in your wallet, even if the value of your home isn’t something you can redeem at will, surely you can lose potential money — that is, the money that would be yours to spend if you sold your house or emptied out your mutual funds right now.

And if you’re a few months away from retirement, or hoping to sell your house and buy a smaller one to help pay for your kid’s college tuition, this “potential money” is something you’re counting on to get by. For people who need cash and need it now, this is as real as money gets, whether or not it meets the technical definition of the word.

Still, you run into trouble when you think of that potential money as being the same thing as the cash in your purse or your checking account.

“That’s a big mistake,” says Dale Jorgenson, an economics professor at Harvard.

There’s a key distinction here: While the money in your pocket is unlikely to just vanish into thin air, the money you could have had, if only you’d sold your house or drained your stock-heavy mutual funds a year ago, most certainly can.

“You can’t enjoy the benefits of your 401(k) if it’s disappeared,” Jorgenson explains. “If you had it all in financial stocks and they’ve all gone down by 80 percent — sorry! That is a permanent loss because those folks aren’t coming back. We’re gonna have a huge shrinkage in the financial sector.”

There was a time when nobody had to wonder what happened to the money they used to have. Until paper money was developed in China around the ninth century, money was something solid that had actual value — like a gold coin that was worth whatever that amount of gold was worth, according to Douglas Mudd, curator of the American Numismatic Association’s Money Museum in Denver.

Back then, if the money you once had was suddenly gone, there was a simple reason — you spent it, someone stole it, you dropped it in a field somewhere, or maybe a tornado or some other disaster struck wherever you last put it down.

But these days, a lot of things that have monetary value can’t be held in your hand.

If you choose, you can pour most of your money into stocks and track their value in real time on a computer screen, confident that you’ll get good money for them when you decide to sell. And you won’t be alone — staring at millions of computer screens are other investors who share your confidence that the value of their portfolios will hold up.

But that collective confidence, Jorgenson says, is gone. And when confidence is drained out of a financial system, a lot of investors will decide to sell at any price, and a big chunk of that money you thought your investments were worth simply goes away.

If you once thought your investment portfolio was as good as a suitcase full of twenties, you might suddenly suspect that it’s not.

In the process, of course, you’re losing wealth. But does that mean someone else must be gaining it? Does the world have some fixed amount of wealth that shifts between people, nations and institutions with the ebb and flow of the economy?

Jorgenson says no — the amount of wealth in the world “simply decreases in a situation like this.” And he cautions against assuming that your investment losses mean a gain for someone else — like wealthy stock speculators who try to make money by betting that the market will drop.

“Those folks in general have been losing their shirts at a prodigious rate,” he said. “They took a big risk and now they’re suffering from the consequences.”

“Of course, they had a great life, as long as it lasted.”

You must understand and comprehend this if you want to fight the utter loss of your financial assets and worse our freedom that creates wealth and prosperity in the first place.  Stay informed by referring back to The Liberty Tree Lantern on at least a weekly basis.

Also remember that The Liberty Tree Lantern has predicted the very possible, but not definite, collapse of “The Matrix” (see previous post from over a month ago), due to oscillations caused by the money and power required to control The U.S. Government and every man, woman and child that lives in “The (financial) Matrix” false world we find ourselves in.   “The Matrix” very well could collapse and leave exposed the “real” world that truly exists out side of the plain of “non-reality” that has been programmed in our minds by The Federal Reserve “System” through The U.S. Government (especially both houses of Congress) and the public school system which is sponsored by Government by money lent to it by The Federal Reserve System, the ultimate mind bending programmers of “The Matrix”.
