The vast majority of Americans refuse to deal with facts and the details of our economic / financial crisis and as massively essential as that is, even more importantly the political details and cultural crisis that is the puss at the very core that caused it.  What the American people have to realize is that the Federal Government IS THE PROBLEM, that caused the destruction of our economy.  

If the Federal Government would be doing what it is constitutionally allowed to do by the law written in the constitution, which is very little, then we would not have any of the massive financial and economic problems we have today and we would have at least as much if not significantly more INDIVIDUAL wealth than we have today.   To top off the prosperity that we would have is the fact that our individual prosperity would be real because our Dollars would be backed in gold and/or other precious metals.  In fact most of our coin would be gold or silver.  Coins could be worth hundreds of Dollars each, in relation to what we perceive as the value of a Dollar today, as determined by the markets and the value determined by Congress as stated in the law of the Constitution.  Today the Dollar is only worth what our minds are programmed to believe it is worth through the Government sponsored public school system, the main stream media, the Government and other perverse forces out to control mass behavior and thought.  We live in a Matrix not unlike the movie “The Matrix” complete with IRS “Agents” in dark suits and sunglasses carrying semi-automatic guns.

The hard assets it takes to power “The Matrix” which in “reality” can only be created by God and the hard work and sweat of man motivated and blessed by the power of freedom, is being gobbled up by the ever growing insatiable monster called The Federal Government and the forty mega-powerful owners of The Federal Reserve System; a humongous private company consisting of a cartel of 12 private BIG banks, who has nearly complete control over the Congressional and Executive branches of our U.S. Government and has significant gaff hooks into the Judicial branch as well. 

How, Capt. Karl, does “The Fed” have control over our Government you might ask?  Well according to The 1983 Grace Commission Report to President Reagan all Income Taxes go directly to these BIG bankers in the guise of “interest” on the public debt.  So the U.S. Treasury doesn’t get any “income taxes”. 

So, Capt. Karl, where does Government get the money to spend the Trillions that they spend, if they do not get any from us taxpayers?  The answer is; they go to “The Fed”, hat in hand as it were, and beg, in effect, these forty guys for the money, which consists of our income tax money and printed “out of thin air” money that isn’t backed by very much at all.  Before the bailouts, the Dollar has been appraised by economists and very knowledgeable people to be “worth”, meaning backed by hard assets of value, in the neighborhood of four cents each.  After the bailouts and all the Trillions printed in what is almost the equivalent of monopoly money, the Dollar is worth about two cents each.  Any value we think the Dollar is worth above that “real” value is only a figment of our imaginations as programmed by the entities that created “The Matrix” for the purposes of world domination and megalomaniac control over each and every one of our daily lives.

Well if the Dollar was only worth four cents, Capt. Karl, than was I even paid by my employer for all the work I performed?  Sorry but the reality, outside of “The Matrix” that only exists in your mind, you have not ever been paid anymore than four cents on the Dollar for your work. 

Well, Capt. Karl, I used the Dollars that you say were only worth four cents each to pay for all of the stuff I own like cars, home, boat, cottage on the lake, furniture, TVs, SUVs, literally everything I own.  Do I really own them if I haven’t really paid for them?  No, in reality very little in the United States is bought and paid for in “reality”.  All of these things have been paid for in “The Matrix” that only exists in our minds.

Capt. Karl, Capt. Karl, But, what happens when “The Fed” doesn’t have enough hard “real” assets to provide the necessary financial power required to support the weight of “The Matrix” world that only exists in our minds?  Buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye, bye!

Capt. Karl, I do not want to believe anything you are telling me, here.  I just want to go on with my life.  I do not have to listen to this!  Even if it was true and you are right, just as you Capt. Karl have been predicting exactly what and exactly when this what has come to us in a financial and economic crisis  I couldn’t do anything about it anyway right? 

Well, now you are reminding me of Cypher in the movie, The Matrix, when he said to the Agent; “You know, I know this steak doesn’t exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?  Takes a bite of steak]   Ignorance is bliss.” 

1.      First of all, Do you really want to be as stupid as Cypher? 

2.      Second of all, how can we as a people tackle this crisis if we refuse to accept the truth, that Government IS THE PROBLEM.

3.      Can We The People of a free country really resolve these problems without Government, YES WE CAN!  This is what is called “CHANGE”.  Letting Government try to resolve our problems for us is called status quo and it is what we have been doing for the years that have caused this entire mess.

4.      So if we are willing to “accept reality” that the world we live in today is nothing more than a “Matrix” that only exists in our minds as we have been programmed by The U.S. Government, the Public School system and the Main Stream Media, what can we do about it now?  - – -   We gather together at public places all over our country and make plans to force the Federal Government to fully comply with EVERY SINGLE WORD, TO THE VERY SPIRIT, MEANING AND INTENT of The Constitution with absolutely NO CHANGES!    We must gather together as a free people and fight for change back to The Constitution WORD FOR WORD!  This action once successful, will return to us our rights, protect our property, and restore individual wealth to the vast majority of “working” blue collar workers as well as professionals and executives.  And the best part, we and our earnings will really and truly be free from the forces of Socialist and Communist misery.

5.   But Capt. Karl, just to humor you, let’s say everything you are telling us is exactly correct, do you really think the Federal Government and The Federal Reserve that controls them are really going to lay down and let us have freedom and let us keep our earnings from our employment regardless of our plans and actions to force them to obey the law?  Sorry to say but no I believe we are in for a real fight in both non-violent and violent ways.  The Fed and The U.S. Government know this and they are preparing for War against us.  To put it simply so that you can understand the reality of it, they are getting ready to shoot and kill as many of us as necessary to maintain their power and keep us under the power and control of “The Matrix” a prison for our minds.  See the military report from The War College of The U.S.

My fellow Americans, to understand what is happening to our economy you need to understand what “The Matrix” is.  Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real?  What if you were unable to wake from that dream?  How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.  What truth?  That you are a slave. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

The Matrix is a system.  That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

In order to get out from underneath “The Matrix” and the scofflaw Federal Government and The Federal Reserve company that created it, we have to accept what happened to us, obtain the education we need to understand what we “had” when we had true freedom and our unique American culture, our great heritage and our prosperity created of that freedom and the blessings of our creator.  Then we need to physically gather to display our unity in the cause of FREEDOM and to forment plans of action.  Freedom is the great generator of INDIVIDUAL wealth and power for those who want to work hard and keep what they work so hard for. 

Freedom means freedom from government or in another way, self government under the law that We The People want not what a handful of elitist politician tyrants in a far off capitol foist on us, like bailouts to the super rich BIG bankers and BIG private jet-setter Corporations, out of our personal paychecks.

When you watch the news tonight you are going to certainly see the CEOs of the Big Three Automakers begging for Billions of Dollars from the U.S. Government.   In reply I hear U.S. Senators and Congressmen speaking of Billions and Billions and additional BILLIONS of Dollars on top of Dollars.  What is wrong with this picture?  Do you know?

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR MONEY, OUR EARNINGS!  You see folks, the U.S. Government doesn’t have any money.  And, according to President Reagan’s Grace Commission Report of 1983, the U.S. Government doesn’t collect any Income Taxes either.  All income taxes go directly to a private company, owned by forty private individuals – mostly from foreign countries.  The private company is called The Federal Reserve, which is a cartel of twelve privately owned banks.  According to the Grace Commission report all of our income taxes goes to The Federal Reserve company to pay for interest on all the money that the U.S. Government borrows.  They have almost endless borrowing credit, because the payments made on those loans come from us in the form of IRS enforced income taxes.

To make matters worse, the U.S. Congress, in 1913, gave this private company the right to print as much money as they want for whatever reason they want.  Nice business model, hey?  Our Dollars, by the definition of a “Dollar” is supposed to be either formed of gold coin or be certificates that represent the value of gold supporting each bill.  But because our currency is faux, it can now be printed with impunity.   What does this mean to you personally?  It means that in reality, in real life, all our Dollars are worth no more than up to 4 cents each.  We all have been brainwashed to believe differently.  That is the crux of the financial crisis we are experiencing today.  You could most accurately state that “The Matrix”, the world that only exists in our minds, is collapsing just like when Neo in the movie woke up alongside of Morpheus and threw up when he realized what the real world was like in reality once he took the red pill.  The “Matrix” is collapsing my friends.  Unless The Federal Reserve is able to tax us more or bring Canada and Mexico into a North American Union so that millions more people can be taxed, The Matrix cannot be sustained due to forces of Natural Law as it influences economics as gravity influences matter.

Bottom line:  When they are talking about Billions and Billions, they are talking about taking it out of our, our children’s and our grandchildren’s paychecks.  This is patently insanity!  As Charlton Heston SCREEMED in Planet of the Apes: “THIS IS A MAD HOUSE!  A,,,   MAD,,,  HOUSE  ! ”

Please realize these facts that will catch up to all of us and our posterity.  And, I suggest you think about it and do something about it.  Above all learn about the true meaning of freedom, the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution; because true freedom is the only way out of this mess that the constitutional scofflaws in Congress got us into.

What a Three Ring Circus, with the clowns being all the Congressmen like Dodd and the rest speaking of spending our money to the tune of BILLIONS.  And what are we personally going to get out of it, while the United AutoWorkers have pension and retired full healthcare insurance programs to die for, that we who will be funding it in the form of our income taxes, will have nothing of the sort?  This is a mad house!

By Bill Sammon

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.”
