Global War in YOUR Name
If the government is "by the people, and for the people" then why does Celente say this? "In 2012 America will become a battlefield of the will of the people against the will of the government, proclaims Gerald Celente, the founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the Trends Journal".

A little history lesson on how U.S. Citizens' money has been spent:
$4.76 Trillion in Bailouts Disbursed to TBTF as of July, 2011
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Total_Wall_Street_Bailout_Cost
312,780,968 U.S. Population in 2012
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Total_Wall_Street_Bailout_Cost
There are 12 zeroes after the 1 (1,000,000,000,000) in 1 Trillion
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_zeroes_are_in_1_trillion_dollars
So, instead of giving Trillions to the Bankers (the authors of fraud & monetary exploitation), how much money could have been distributed DIRECTLY to Americans?
Answer = 4760000000000/312,780,968 = $15,218.32 per U.S. Citizen
Would THAT have been helpful in this "centrally planned" economy?
According to a team at Bloomberg News, at one point last year the U.S. had lent, spent or guaranteed as much as $12.8 trillion to rescue the economy.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/economy/the-true-cost-of-the-bank-bailout/3309/
How much is THAT, if given to THE PEOPLE directly, instead of wasted and lost in the current corrupt "system"?
12800000000000/312,780,968 = $40, 923.21 per U.S. Citizen
Opportunity Cost? Alternatives?
Cost of Iraq War at least $3.7 trillion and counting as of Wed Jun 29, 2011
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/29/us-usa-war-idUSTRE75S25320110629
Instead of waging an illicit WOT based on lies, against a sovereign country, this money could have been given to Americans directly.
3700000000000/312,780,968 = $11,829.36 per U.S. Citizen
Money for Living Better or Money for Killing? Self declared Deciders choose for you.
Here's the number of the Iraq population in 2003 = 25,175,000
http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Asia-and-Oceania/Iraq-POPULATION.html
3700000000000/25,175,000 = $146,921.20 per Iraqi Citizen ( The U.S., using Your tax dollars, could have given each Iraqi citizen $146,921 and asked them to not terrorize us ). Perhaps the U.S. could have negotiated some sweet oil contracts and used money and diplomacy like a civilized society? Instead of over a million deaths of Iraqis, the destruction of their country and culture, the displacement of 4+ million Iraqi People, instead of the use of depleted uranium (DU) into their environment, etc. -- other options existed. Isn't ANY OPTION better than WAR?
When you leave it to the Deciders, the spending scenario depicted in numbers above is their choice for "change". This is Intelligent Management by the People's Representatives?

You have to ask yourself -- how much longer can this chicanery go on before The People DECIDE for themselves? When the 4th of July, 2012 arrives, will it be meaningless?

Fascinating Links Regarding Gun Control and the 2nd Amendment

Hey Peter! Good to see you're keeping tabs on COTO. Thanks for the upthumb, and you too K-man!
ReplyDeleteMath ain't my strong suit, so I used the following to see what the numbers would have looked like if instead of enriching bankers, MIC cronies, and other butt buddies; the taxpayer's money was directly invested in Americans, or the Iraqi people for instance...
http://www.astro.washington.edu/courses/labs/clearinghouse/labs/Scimeth/mr-scnot.html
Example of the notation: 1,600,000,000,000 = 5.7 x 1012 -- 5.7 Trillion: the number of dollars in the U.S. national debt, circa 2000.
I used this online scientific calculator to do the math:

I thought about putting this in the body of the piece, but this works as well, so folks can do their own calculations of colossal waste.
***Do note the very last link in the thread, and scroll down for surprising facts showing why the 2nd Amendment Rights are what stands between tyranny/genocide and liberty...
I like your math Boom...true and honest...
ReplyDeleteHi to Peter also....hope you are well...
Must say...teared up a bit on the salutes....I was stationed on the east coast (lots of old soldiers there...) was on the burial detail many times...
Hey Eyes! Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteThe following "eye-opening" article depicts a well-used "extraction technique" used to fleece The People, and enrich cronies and corporations. Do click on the black chart near the end, and enlarge it to view the same damn names we keep seeing, with their siphons stuck into the taxpayers' veins.

Thanks Boom, always here...love watching the traffic feed...
ReplyDeleteI think the mosquito is getting ready to pop...and the anesthetic doesn't work any longer...
Paper money doesn't exist...never has...the ultimate alchemy, heh? ...so....if it's not about money (they print it right?) then what's it all about Alfie?

21st Century Schizoid Man
ReplyDeleteCat's foot iron claw
Neurosurgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

CIA Committed 'War Crimes,' Bush Official Says 04 Apr 2012 A top adviser to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned the Bush administration that its use of "cruel, inhuman or degrading" interrogation techniques like waterboarding were "a felony war crime." Also, newly obtained documents reveal that State Department counselor Philip Zelikow told the Bush team in 2006 that using the controversial interrogation techniques were "prohibited" under U.S. law - "even if there is a compelling state interest asserted to justify them." Zelikow argued that the Geneva conventions applied to al Qaeda - a position neither the Justice Department nor the White House shared at the time. That made waterboarding and the like a violation of the War Crimes statute and a "felony," Zelikow tells Danger Room. Asked explicitly if he believed the use of those interrogation techniques were a war crime, Zelikow replied, "Yes."
ReplyDeleteHmm...maybe the infamous Zelikow is looking to lighten his possible sentence in this lumpus crown affair????

Of course I know that won't happen. 5%? More? What's it take to call B.S. on the B.Sers? When a majority laughs at them, scorns their paper legislation habits, ridicules everything that comes out of their mouths, literal and media-wise, whadda they do then? When the OWS actually fight back, effectively in a particular skirmish, and a rally cry goes zinging 'round the country, what then? Will the masses ever assert their natural human rights in the face of those who tell them they have none? I just don't see things continuing on in this ridiculous, frustrating and fruitless attrition storm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually viewed that today. That's some poop from the Doc.
ReplyDeleteThe amazing thing is, people think because some "credentialed" bureaucrat like Woo Yoo, the disgraced espanol fraud, Holder, or any other word twister -- writes an explanation down, and says "this is the way it is" -- that, that then is the way it is. The Cult of Personality blinds men and women to common sense.
ReplyDeleteDoes a person need someone else to tell them the Obvious?
I think not. If people don't have their own mind, or can't figure out how to use it, then surely they're apt to adopt someone else's version of reality. Whatever conveniently fills the hole I guess. That's some stupid shit! And this type of brain jello appears all over the place. What was considered torture since WWII, will no longer be considered torture because some asshole writes and says it isn't... (even though the rest of the civil and uncivilized world continues to maintain the torture frame thang)?
Technicalities, huh? Convenient rationalizations Obviously. If only our TV's would tell us the truth, well then, we would know what it was...
Once a politician you are for life. Like an alcoholic I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreatPost Boomer. We can say the IRON MOUNTAIN REPORT was no fiction. Hunger games are coming.
FOOD and WATER are an absolute necessity. If you are shopping for plasma screens or a new computer, Ipad or other 4g microwave dispenser, save your money and buy rice.
It's hard to tell the average Joe his Birth Certificate, SS and DL have made him a willing tool of the Corporation. A freeman can drive without it, work without it and sign off the mark.
ReplyDeleteThere's just no telling what assets are to be liquidated as of yet, but certainly being off the grid. Considering each American is in debt to the tune of 156,000 bucks, i'd think there would be more freemen resigning.
I'll be off shortly. Of course the prisons are going up all over and they have far too many vacancies. Atlanta cops are doing stop and search and planting drugs. They get 2% of the annual contract rate per room they fill. The judges get 3%. It all flows to the Cayman Is. of course.
Make sure you know the routine for the next time you are stopped.
"save your money and buy rice."
ReplyDeleteHey, I gotta whole cuntoleesa fulla rice...
I'm lookin' fer beans...just the right one that grows that beanstalk all the way up to the clouds...then I'll be off and howdyhoo...
