America Barely Escapes Permanent Economic Enslavement
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 By Your-Rights.com Read, read, READ! If the U.S. Congress had passed that "bail out"... Little does the American public know that they just barely escaped permanent economic enslavement! "Organized crime is now officially legal and combined with the stock and capital markets -- all enforced by force and rigged profits. This is the economic infrastructure for fascism." - Catherine Austin Fitts "Fascism ought more properly be called corporatism because it is the perfect merger of power between the corporation and the state." --Benito Mussolini FYI: Stephen Friedman "has been Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since January 2008. He has been Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Board since January 2006. He is also a board member of the Council on Foreign Relations." (Reuters) He also happens to be on the Board of Directors at Goldman Sachs. Also from Goldman Sachs is Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson Jr., the person behind the failed bail out legislation.

Rules hiding TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household - Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Can America seriously afford to bail out the Wall Street Fat Cats in addition to paying off the already overwhelming debt they already owe? America Says NO Bush Bailout! - On September 25th 2008, progressives came together in 251 emergency rallies in 41 states saying NO to the $700 billion Bush corporate bailout for Wall Street. As a result, the tax giveaway, assumed to be a "done deal" only a few days earlier was stalled and being reconsidered by lawmakers who are stunned by the speed and scale of America's reaction. Instead, Congress turned to work on an economic recovery package for Main Street. America Says "NO!" THEY BROKE IT, YOU BUY IT? - George Bush has proposed a Wall Street subsidy that will cost the American people at least $700,000,000,000 to bail out his wealthy investor buddies. That comes out to a TAX of over $2,300 for every man, woman, and child in America. We need to shine a light on any legislator who supports this tax hike to bail out the same Wall Street bankers whose speculation, false accounting, and lies caused this economic catastrophe. And, they need to be held accountable. The Magnitude and Meaning of the Proposed Bailout: What $700 Billion for Wall Street means on Main Street Bailout by Stealth - While the public is distracted by the "bailout bill" and its rejection, TRILLIONS are pumped in to keep financial balloon inflated.

U.S. Imperialist Agenda and the Deepening Crisis in Iraq
From Fire This Time - Sunday, July 6, 2008 By Alison Bodine September 3rd was the last time US President George Bush set foot on Iraqi soil, bloodied and wrecked after over 4 years of US occupation. At this time he had a few words to share with the people of Iraq and the world: "When we begin to draw down troops from Iraq, it will be from a position of strength and success, not from the position of fear and failure." For the people of Iraq who have endured an estimated 1.2 million deaths (UK-based ORB polling agency), and countless humiliations since the March 2003 military invasion, the idea of ever seeing the US leave seems distant or impossible, let alone from a position of "success" and "strength." The US has a long-term plan for their continued occupation of Iraq and it includes continued death and destruction for the people of Iraq and a rising massive humanitarian crisis. How the US is turning Iraq into a permanent military base In a declaration of principles signed by George Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on November 26th 2007 the ground work was laid for a long-term agreement on future cooperation between the US and Iraq. In the political, economic and security (military) sphere the US and the installed Iraqi Prime Minister are starting to plan for an "enduring" relationship to last well into the future. The plan will include United States support for the "democratic regime in Iraq against domestic and external dangers," according to Al-Maliki. It also includes plans to protect the US-drafted Iraqi constitution, give preferential treatment to US investments and continued support for a strategic partnership. This is the beginnings of their plans for "enduring" occupation. Another part of continued US presence in Iraq are the 14 "enduring" (read: permanent) bases whose construction began as soon as the US invaded. These bases are long-term encampments for US forces in Iraq and outposts for military and government policy advisors that will remain in Iraq beyond any troop withdrawal or formal end to the occupation of Iraq. To compliment US bases and the continued occupation, the US has also built a $740Million Embassy in Iraq, the largest in the world. It will eventually staff an estimated 4,000 regular employees, contractors, local Iraqi employees and visitors. It will also house 619 apartments and 27 separate buildings behind the well-secured walls of the "Green Zone" in Baghdad and serve as the main base for representing US interests in Iraq. After 4 and a half years of occupation the US has not established anything close to stability or the assurance of a successful US proxy regime in Iraq. They know that after a troop withdrawal there will be an internal struggle in Iraq and that it is very possible that its' outcome will not be in favour of the US. As an insurance plan for all the work they have done to fuel US interests in Iraq, they now have the military bases and US Embassy at their back. Mercenaries and Continued Occupation Continued US presence in Iraq would not be possible without the assistance of 120,000 mercenaries in Iraq, the contract employees of military corporations such as Blackwater USA, DynCorp International and Armor Group. According to US "Order 17", issued in 2004, all mercenaries operating in Iraq are exempt from obeying Iraqi law. In this way mercenaries are allowed to operate without rule of law or accountability to anyone, except the corporations that employ them. This has meant numerous tragedies, with the lives and dignities of Iraqi people disappearing under the radar. After a September 16th shooting in which 17 Iraqi civilians were needlessly killed by a Blackwater guard in a Baghdad square, this provision and the legal loop-hole allowing them to escape charges under US law came under fire from people internationally. As a way to avoid further embarrassment and scrutiny the US government signed a new agreement in December 2007. This agreement means that contract mercenaries are now accountable under US law. Unfortunately, this still does not mean that they will be charged and they are still not held accountable under Iraqi law. Human Crisis: Daily Life in Iraq Over the past four years of US-led occupation, the human crisis has deepened in Iraq. Iraqi woman and children have felt the greatest impact from the presence of hundreds of thousands of foreign military troops taking away their basic human rights to housing, food, water, education and a future with guns, bombs and tanks. According to the Iraq Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, over 1.6 million children under the age of 12 have become homeless in Iraq. This is almost 70 percent of the 2.2 million homeless and internally displaced persons in Iraq. To make the situation even worse, internally displaced Iraqi's are not finding the infrastructure and basic aid that they need anywhere in Iraq. As one example, the Basra province in Southern Iraq can no longer handle families and children seeking refuge. A senior Iraqi official in the Basra Governing Council, Hassan Abdul-Kareem, explained to IRIN News Service. "We cannot cope with any more families seeking refuge in our province, whatever their reasons. The governorate is seriously affected by the high number of displaced families, health services have deteriorated, schools are overcrowded and we aren't even able to offer a good service to our locals. Things have become worse since the high influx of new arrivals," The situation has also deteriorated for girls hoping to attend school in Iraq. Families and mothers are worried about sending their girls to school for fear that they will be raped or killed. They are also needed to stay at home as one-million families are now headed by widows whose husbands have been killed by the occupation and the violence it has created (Aljazeera News: "Debating the US troop 'surge'). The Heavy Costs of the Occupation Everyday the US spends $280Million towards death and destruction in Iraq. According to the American Friends Services Committee, a US based peace and justice organization, if you include not just the immediate costs of the war, but also ongoing factors such as long-term health care for veterans, interest on debt and replacement of military hardware, that number grows to $720Million a day. The American Friends Services Committee also broke down these numbers into what the money could have bought for social service in the US including: homes for almost 6,500 families or health care for 423,529 children, or could outfit 1.27 million homes with renewable electricity. The US-Congressional report entitled "The Hidden Costs of the Iraq War," stated the cast of the war from 2002 to present as being $1.3Trillion. Not only does this money mean the destruction of civil society and human life in Iraq, it has also been another part of the deepening economic crisis in the US. This crisis has been marked most recently by the devaluation of the US dollar, the crisis in mortgage and the banking market and the continued growth of poverty in the US. The crisis that the US has created in Iraq is directly tied to the crisis in the US and the disgusting amount of money spent to fuel death and destruction. Resistance to the occupation: in Iraq and World-wide For over four years the US has been relying on its' consolidation of the occupation to demoralize the Iraqi people, and the movement of resistance against their continued presence in Iraq. Contrary to their hopes, the number of demonstrations, strikes and attacks on occupying forces has increased drastically as the occupation has continued. The US is now confronted with a deep political, social and military crisis. This is why they need permanent presence in Iraq. This is also why the people of Iraq will keep fighting any way that they can for their land, lives and dignity. The continued struggle of the Iraqi people against the occupation and the US crisis in Iraq has also meant that its own enlisted fighters, the US military forces, are demoralizing. US Army suicide rates are at a record high of 18.4 per 100,000 active duty soldiers, according to military reports. A CBS News investigation also showed that military veterans aged 20-24, meaning those whom have served during the so-called "War on Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan, had the highest suicide rate among all veterans, estimated between two and four times higher than civilians the same age. The US cannot fight without a willing army, and suicides rates are only one of the signs that the US is loosing ground with the troops. If the Iraqi's kick the US out of Iraq it will mean a weakening of the position of the US and Israel that would accelerate the struggle of people all over the Middle East against Imperialism. In this new era of war and occupation which emerged as the "War on Terror" following Sept 11th 2001, we must come together as poor and working people against the occupation of Iraq. As peace and human loving people, we have no other choice but to work to build a united and effective antiwar movement to end this brutal war and echo the demands of the Iraqi people for life and self-determination! US Out Now! Bring the Troops Home Now! Self-determination for all oppressed nations! Read More [ permalink ] |

Fed's Seize Tens of Millions Worth of Ron Paul Dollars and Assets
From Your-Rights.com - Monday, November 19, 2007 The U.S. Federal Government has seized (stolen) tens of millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, copper and other assets including two tons of coins decorated with Ron Paul's visage. Disney printed "Disney Dollars" and did not get raided by the Federal Government. Why the disparity? You have probably seen similar coins on late night television commercials. Isn't it odd to you that only now, after Ron Paul has started campaigning against the Federal Reserve system, that the asset seizure occurred. What is most interesting to note is that unlike the U.S. dollar, which is steadily decreasing in value, the Ron Paul coins are rapidly increasing in value!

CFR - The Secret Government and the Federal Reserve
From YouTUBE - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Does any of this sound familiar to what is happening today? The Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve. Owned by a corrupt group of International Bankers, it is a privately owned monopoly, largely responsible for creating America's National Debt. It is also a parasitic and unnecessary entity that literally creates American currency out of nothing and then collects interest on the backs of taxpayers for doing so.

Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2006)
Monday, June 25, 2007 By Your-Rights.com NEW INFO! This newly discovered information was published after the movie was released. USA TODAY has reported that each and every American household owes a staggering HALF-MILLION dollars in debt! Read the article to learn more: Rules 'hiding' TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household Visit the U.S. National Debt Clock to learn more about America's debt. MAXED OUT is an EXCELLENT documentary movie EVERYONE should see! The DVD includes these Special Features: The Wise Use of Credit Get Active: Tell Congress that DISCLOSURE IS NOT ENOUGH! Americans for Fairness in Lending Says to Federal Reserve Board: Disclosure on Credit Cards is Not Enough Telling bank robbers that they must write clearer notes in a larger typeface does not stop the theft. Read more (PDF) MAXED OUT documentary movie description from Wikipedia: Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2006) is an independent feature-length documentary film and book that chronicles abusive practices in the credit card industry. Written and directed by James Scurlock, the film and book use interviews with creditors, debtors, academics, and others to illustrate its story. The film premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, TX in 2006 where it claimed the Special Jury Prize. It went on to several film fests including Seattle, Full Frame Documentary, Maui, New Zealand, Milwaukee International, Woodstock, Bergen, Leeds International, Oxford and IDFA (Amsterdam) film festivals. It was released in movie theaters in select cities in the United States in March 2007 through Magnolia Pictures. The DVD was released nationally in June 7, 2007 in the joint effort Magnolia Pictures and Red Envelope Entertainment (a division of Netflix). The book Maxed Out is printed by Scribner, a division of Simon and Schuster. Scurlock's purpose for the film and book was to raise awareness of how credit and lending issues are affecting society. The main premises of the documentary and book are that banks and other creditors deliberately market to people who are more likely to have problems paying and that the creditors benefit from connections to government, the debt collection industry, and from lawmaker apathy. Plot summary of MAXED OUT from NetFlix.com: Investigating both the personal and the national debt owed by Americans, this thought-provoking documentary explores the staggering financial burden we live with every day and exposes how the contemporary financial industry is set up in ways that can harm unwitting customers. With both sobering facts and black humor, Maxed Out unveils the consequences of our debt addiction, including its contribution to the vanishing of the American middle class.Rent MAXED OUT from NetFlix today! (It is highly suggest to rent movies from Netflix because they have a lot of excellent, hard to find documentaries.) Plot summary of MAXED OUT from the Internet Movie Database (iMDb): "When Hurricane Katrina ravaged America's Gulf Coast, it laid bare an uncomfortable reality-America is not only far from the world's wealthiest nation; it is crumbling beneath a staggering burden of individual and government debt. Maxed Out takes us on a journey deep inside the American debt-style, where everything seems okay as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. Sure, most of us may have that sinking feeling that something isn't quite right, but we're told not to worry. After all, there's always more credit! Maxed Out shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer and the rich getting richer. By turns hilarious and profoundly disturbing, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us."

Rules 'hiding' TRILLIONS in American debt: Liability $516,348 per U.S. household
From USA Today - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 By Dennis Cauchon Updated 2007-06-25 From the article: The federal government recorded a $1.3 trillion loss in 2006 -- far more than the official $248 billion deficit -- when corporate-style accounting standards are used, a USA TODAY analysis shows. The loss reflects a continued deterioration in the finances of Social Security and government retirement programs for civil servants and military personnel. The loss -- equal to $11,434 per household -- is more than Americans paid in income taxes in 2006. Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 TRILLION in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined. Your-Rights.com Opinion: Say GOOD BYE to Social Security! "The White House and the Congressional Budget Office oppose the change, arguing that the programs are not true liabilities because government can cancel or cut them." quoted from the article.This IS their plan, to put the U.S. Government so far into debt that they can't possibly have any social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, etc! All this is going on while Bush gives major tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and spends around a TRILLION dollars on his wars! SERIOUSLY, don't you think it's time to IMPEACH?! How much more are Americans going to tolerate?! See MAXED OUT for more info! See also, Economic Armageddon Is Coming Read More [ permalink ] |

America is in serious trouble, A Call To Action
From WikiYourRights.com - Monday, March 26, 2007 Bill Moyers breaks it down: "The only answer to organized money is organized people." We do not have much time. Our political system is melting down, right here where you live. The United States of America is in serious trouble in more ways than one! The United States of America is dependent on laundering drug money, between 500 billion to ONE TRILLION dollars each year!!! Without this influx of cash, the already over valued stock market would crash and America would go bankrupt! George W. Bush has went hog wild with the credit cards and now it's time to pay the piper. Our national debt is eating us alive. (ref: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) Guess who owns the majority of America's loans? China! China could do to us what we did to the Russian empire to end the cold war. Remember when the Russian Rouble was worthless? The United States dollar is virtually worthless now! (ref: [7], [8], [9]) PLEASE VIEW ALL OF THE REFERENCES! They are there for a reason! Read More [ permalink ] |

"It's Always Christmas Time" For Credit Card Companies - But Consumers Can Get Trapped by Abusive Fees and Practices
From Consumers Union - Monday, November 20, 2006 SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Just as the holiday season gets ready to kick into high gear, Consumers Union is warning shoppers about the increasing number of credit card traps that can trip up consumers and lead to spiraling debt. To help get out the message and mobilize support for reform, the group is releasing "It's Always Christmas Time (For Visa)," an animated satire that takes aim at abusive credit card fees and practices. "You can find yourself buried in debt if you aren't careful to avoid the credit card gotchas," said Michelle Jun, Staff Attorney for Consumers Union. "Too many credit cards are deisgned to get you in debt and keep you there." "It's Always Christmas Time (For VISA)" is a lighthearted take on the unexpected fees, interest rate hikes, and misleading contracts that are contributing to high credit card debt in the U.S. After viewing the animation, viewers can send an email to Congress asking lawmakers to support credit card reforms.

America Defeated In Economic War
From Economy In Crisis - Monday, October 16, 2006 "Because of [Ronald] Reagan and [George H.W.] Bush and [George W.] Bush's starve the beast theory that you throw the Government into debt and that's the only way that you can get the American people to go along with doing away with SOCIALISM, like Social Security. We are trillions of dollars, 8 trillion dollars in debt. Foreign countries are fronting almost 100 percent of our debt. Foreign countries are lobbying American politicians to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. They're influencing American media through their advertising dollars. They're influencing American educational institutions through professor fellowship and research funding. They're creating inextricable links to local communities through insourced manufacturing their employment. Then we have foreign companies coming in and getting deals. This is mind boggling. It is the selling off of America." -- Thom Hartmann This sounds almost exactly like what our own American based corporations have been doing by invading poorer countries with polluting factories in the name of cheap labor. In Hawai'i, there are companies which have to transport workers to and from work each and every day because the workers can not afford to live on the island where they are employed. If raise the scale of this problem to a much greater level, pretty soon you will have people who simply can not afford to live on our own "island" called America! America has almost been pwned! Just remember, there was a surplus when Bush jr. came into office left by Bill Clinton. From article: $2 Trillion Economic ($) Bullets Poised To Make Takeover Complete. Japan has accumulated $1 trillion surplus currency reserve ($) bullets. China has also accumulated $1 trillion surplus currency reserve ($) bullets through their balance of trade surplus with the United States. All this monetary ammunition is being used to buy our major corporations which are for sale daily on the open stock market. We have already lost 8,000 companies in the last 10 years alone to foreign purchase and domination. All this coupled with a dismantled industrial infrastructure assures a foreign dominated future and a much lower standard of living. Read More [ permalink ] |

Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money As Seen From A Swiss Perspective (Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education, 2001)
From BOOK: Gold Wars By Ferdinand Lips Gold Wars deals with gold's history, the gold rushes and the abandonment of gold-as-money under the modern welfare/warfare state. It shows how governments, fearing the affinity of free people for gold, fight it, thereby helping to destroy whole countries along with the gold mining industry. The book highlights the betrayal of gold-rich Switzerland. The author condemns gold "hedging," gold market manipulation by governments and bullion banks, fiat money and debt. He concludes that only a gold standard can return an ailing world economy to its full potential, reduce unemployment, help restore law and order, and help to secure peace and freedom for mankind.
