The current crisis and Obama's Clintonomics team

Bill, like Barack, was elected on a platform of populist economics, then adopted Wall St ideology

With Barack Obama surrounding himself with Clinton-era economic advisers, many have questioned his commitment to changing the system that led to the current economic crisis. Robert Pollin is one of many who have raised this point. An expert on Clintonomics, Pollin points out the similarities between Obama today and Bill Clinton in 1992, including the voices that they are listening to.

NEGOTIATION POSSIBLE

OR MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

Our aim is to wipe Israel off the map.
So ! ...

 

TERROR TALKING
The word peace is absent from their mentality.
 Israel returned Gaza  and look what they have done to it. "Impoverished it."

"When Buying and Selling are Controlled by Legislation, the First Things to be Bought and Sold are Legislators."
Is that a ............................

 

YOU MUST READ THIS

If this doesn't make your hair stand on end, I don't know what will.

In the past century, the limited liability corporation became the most powerful institution in the world, both politically and economically-and increasingly on the cultural level as well. Corporations accumulate wealth and exercise power through alliances with other corporations, and through relationships with local, national, and international government officials.

The World Trade Organization (WTO), with its explicit jurisdiction superseding national laws, has recently provided a focal point and raised the public's awareness of the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of fewer and fewer people. Multilateral financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, controlled by the richest nations, are privatizing the economies and restructuring the social policies of the rest of the world.

But the World Bank and the WTO are only the more visible institutions of corporate power. Government agencies charged with protecting public health and safety are run by executives on loan from the corporations that are supposed to be regulated. Corporate lobby groups write legislation and buy candidates for political office. Corporate-driven think tanks and educators enjoy the prestige of university appointments where corporate agendas are developed and disseminated. Corporate foundations decide which charities and which environmental groups will get funded. Investment bankers control more money than the World Bank, and their unregulated speculation in national currencies has plunged Latin America and Asia into financial crises. Governments have become "mere salesmen" promoting the multinational corporations which are the "muscle and brains" of the global economy.

Where'd the "BAILOUT" money go?
Shhhh, it's a secret like everything else our rulers are hiding.

by MATT APUZZO

It's something any bank would demand to know before handing out a loan: Where's the money going?

But after receiving billions in aid from U.S. taxpayers, the nation's largest banks say they can't track exactly how they're spending the money or they simply refuse to discuss it.

"We've lent some of it. We've not lent some of it. We've not given any accounting of, 'Here's how we're doing it,'" said Thomas Kelly, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, which received $25 billion in emergency bailout money. "We have not disclosed that to the public. We're declining to."

What's next is anybody's guess.

Banana   Republic

Blagojevich and the Chicago Machine

You are witnessing how our elected operate. Multiply this lower level corruption of government and you might get an idea of the degree of deception that rages at the highest level of our government.

We are in the throes of a conspiracy to restructure the threads of our society. This my friends has been the plan, in the works, for decades. It's the NWO, language refined, Globilazation.

If you still can't fathom the reason for our open boarders and eradication of our manufacturing base you are blind.

Before the working poor become completely engulfed in their planned destruction, there is little time left for revolt.

There is no savior in or about to enter the government of the United States that will in any way reverse the planned demise of the generational American that worked so hard to bring America to its greatness.

Hordes of illegal aliens  streaming across our boarders, family sustaining jobs disappearing at warp speed, the dollar now almost worthless, trillions given to secret sources, and the criminality goes on and on. What more must you be subjected to for you too have had enough?

      

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

TRANSPARENCY OR AMBIGUITY ?

From "Slavery" to "Salvation" - I'll change the  nation.

What new music will we dance too in the future?

CHANGE   ME TOO

The corruption of our elected servants is unraveling at a mind boggling pace. Their criminality is beyond belief. How can we change the demise of our republic with the election process when party is stronger than the people? 

Can we still trust?

Ranting for change may be an effective way to tap into an upset population that is desperate to stop the tragedies that are tearing their lives to shreds. Little do they understand that they have been been put into their present circumstances by the constant detrimental change that has been programmed and implemented for decades.

The most dramatic change has been in our education system more concerned with sex and condoms than with the three r's. The next devastating program of change was the elimination of good paying family supporting jobs. They were shipped out of the country. To complete the program and get rid of  a middle class that were growing to pwerfull the boarders were open to a flood oof illegal aliens that are destined to become the predominant sector of future society.

Step by step, government and corporate have colluded to advance to a NWO "GLOBALIZATION."  Though not totally there, the program has moved ahead almost to the point of being unstoppable.

We have had enough change to almost kill us. Empty rhetoric promising more change is something we must avoid.

What must be done is to eradicate all the change that has diminished our lives, our freedoms, our future.

We must find a way to go back to the future, the golden age, and once again reach for a future that will generate a promise of fulfilling our hard work to pass on the same opportunities to our children and grandchildren.

The presidential candidates that are presently seeking to run our lives don't even come close to helping us to go back to the future. they are just more of the same shills. Snake oil salesmen that know no other way to do business.

The Destruction of America's Founding Ideals

0f the elite of the NWO have accomplished what they have been working on for decades ... destruction of a middle class. It is estimated that by the year 2050 the white population of the USA will become a minority ... ranging below 50% and that will mark the end of a social group that built the country and worked so hard  pursuing the American Dream. Now! before it's too late, there may be enough of us left to understand the severity of what is going on and muster an effort to destroy the enemy that has created this scenario.  To put it bluntly it requires an all out revolution that will eliminate the traitors that had a hand it fostering, knowingly becoming stooges for the controlling elite. Our country was founded by the daring of a group of men  when they effectively told the king of an empire ... "Go To Hell." That time has come again. We must wake Up!!! Time is of the essence. The younger bamboozled need to be educated.

They are not acknowledging the negative impact illegal aliens  have on the economy.

They are not truthful about the devastation occurring to the middle class.

They are porously creating a two tier environment, the haves and have not.

The boarders are wide open and will remain that way, it suits their purpose.

Wake Up! politics like never before has become the ultimate art of practiced lying.

i HAVE YET TO SEE A SINGLE, HONEST CANDIDATE ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHAOS AND SUBMIT A PLAN TO GO BACK TO THE FUTURE.

HERE COMES THE KING

The planned destruction of our Republic, our Sovereignty, is well underway and it seems we can't penetrate its sanctuary and reverse the process. Corporate supremacy now rules America. Let me introduce your new ruler, "corporate kingdom" the ultimate uncontested winner overall.

A greater than ever Infestation

The hordes of deadly "brainless blobs," they have implanted into our government,  ensuring control by corporate, is replacing the voice of "we the people" and are silently, stealthily , proliferating within the environs of every government institution from the white-house down.  The far reaching tentacles of these lethal, poisonous carnivores are slinking penetrating every nook and cranny of our lives. Its deadly venom is destroying all we believed America stood for. Left to multiply unchecked, all that was dear to us will become history. If you think this is an exaggeration then you are so dumbed-down (conquered) you have become a detriment to any solution to retaking our country.

Exclusive

We have been hoodwinked by the corporate carrot
and its been leading us to "doomsday."

Written ten years ago the premise of the book has proven to be on target.

Pushing Hamburger, where we've been, where we are being yanked to.  The historic family has been forsaken.  Education has been forsaken.   Almost all expectations firmly established in the Declaration of Independence have been forsaken.  Employment diversity has been forsaken.  Honesty amongst our elected has been forsaken.  Corporate has completely corrupted the principle that elected officials are our servants ... they instead have become the enemy.  Understand how it happened.

Once There Was A Middle Class "It Has Been Destroyed" The 1960s were the decade in which my parents grew up. Their parents were the so-called Greatest Generation and I, for one, actually think that moniker is appropriate, considering that their childhood was the Great Depression and their early adulthood was fighting World War II, a set of experiences almost beyond my grasp. My parents (and with some good probability, yours) grew up in the era of the rise of the military-industrial complex, in which people could reasonably expect to get a solid paying job and stay there throughout their lives. This meant several things: One, American education was the envy of the world. You simply couldn’t get a better education than the one provided by an American institution. Colleges were yet to be overcrowded as even then only a small minority went to college, so if you were to get post-secondary education in the United States, you were set. Two, real worker compensation was never higher. In terms of the actual value of a dollar at the time, the average American worker had it made in the 1960s and 1970s. No matter what you did in life, you could fall back on a factory job that would pay you a strong enough wage that you could make it, no matter what. Three, although the Soviet menace was real, it was distant. Although the Cold War was terrifying in its own way, it never ascended into a fighting war and there was never any sort of direct attack on American soil. The Vietnam War was ongoing, but it was literally on the other side of the globe, abstracting in a way the bitter horrors of war and death. Four, the art of marketing and consumerism was in a nascent stage. Look at the sophistication of advertising in the 1960s and compare it to now. There were some baby steps, clearly, but the psychological edge of today’s marketing utterly blows away what you would find in those days. Five, the price of homes in real dollars was extremely low compared to today. The price of a home since 1960 has gone up at a rate much faster than inflation, a bull run that is perhaps finally being slowed or reversed after many years of incredible growth. Thus, someone who bought a home in 1960 stumbled into a killer investment. Six, employers took long-term care of their employees. If a person worked in a factory for thirty years, the company would guarantee them a pension that would safely enable them to live out the end of their days in a comfortable fashion. If you took care of the company, it took care of you. Under these assumptions, my parents could buy a home (rather cheap) when they were younger than I am right now merely on the wages earned with just one of them working a seasonal factory job (which paid quite well). Because of this factory job, they now receive a very nice pension after having never put anything into their own retirement plan. Does this sound like your economic reality? It certainly sounds nothing like mine. My reality is more like this: It involves employment that treats me more as an independent contractor instead of a real team member, which means I have to save for my own retirement rather than plan on a pension. It involves homes that are amazingly expensive, even in the relatively cheap area where I live. It involves no “fall back” plan in the form of abundant factory work that anyone can do. The fall-back jobs that I know of make minimum wage, which is far less than a true living wage in the United States. My parents regularly offer “advice” on how I should manage my finances based on these assumptions that their childhoods and early adult lives showed them, pointers such as you should buy a house as soon as you’re married and you’re young - you should be buying fun stuff - go ahead and get that monster plasma television. Their hearts are undoubtedly in the right place, and they are speaking things they believe to be true, but they aren’t true for me - if I took their advice, I would be in the poor house. So what’s my solution? If you are given advice by your parents - or by anyone at all (including me) - consider the assumptions they’re coming from. Are they valid for you? Even if they are, ask yourself does this advice really make sense for me? Don’t just blindly follow any advice.      We must stop the "NAFTA Highway TO HELL." It's happening and it's the beginning of the end. It's only a matter of time. The clock is  ticking.        It's all coming together before you very eyes. If you doubt it, your politically blind.   [ Mexican Trucks Start Crossing Boarder] [ Canamex ] [ Bush Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway ] Save it from an insane government that is destroying it. The fence will never be built. Politicians and our corporate rulers "don't want it." Get that through your head. [ Declaration Of Independence ] [ U. S. Constitution   ] [ Library's oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States  ] [ The Articles Of Confederation ] [ A David Crockett Story - Not Yours To Give ] JOBS AND THE WORK PLACE The sweat shop, with its dangerous work conditions, minimum wage not yet legislated, children exploited without compunction, is not a picture of the dark ages ... "it was only yesterday." Those conditions were representative of city life in the early 1900’s. It was the normal environment where a predominance of new immigrants clustered. This was where they would gather their wits and aim for a better life. They quickly understood what was required and amidst a maelstrom of indoctrination hurdles, they forged ahead and their efforts paid off. Back then, reward for effort might have appeared to be happening at a snails pace. In retrospect, as my thoughts wander back to then, I can only regard the advances made at that time to be amazingly rapid. Did this create a problem? Was this "new" strongly developing class of achievers rising too fast, getting uncomfortably close to penetrating "Power’s Towers"? Unionism was surging ahead -- minimum wage was established -- child labor laws were enacted. Everyone, even those with minimal education, were climbing the ladder to success. "Achievement," possible for all, permeated the social climate. America was surging ahead as never before. A courageous entrepreneurial climate was largely responsible for ongoing success. Destructive corporate practices, advanced by socially sanitized MBA’s ... was yet to come. For the moment, corporate careers promised a good living and most important "stability." Newly developing technologies began to set agendas for the educational system. Students were pleased to graduate, armed with specialties tuned to industries’ needs. We were still a manufacturing based society. Employment opportunities were broad ranging. Our industrial base was expanding ... "not eroding." Welfare, social security, income tax, were newly emerging concepts. Prosperity for the increasing middle class was just as new. They were the avant-guard for America’s surging success. It led to undaunted progression. Everyone was focused on bettering themselves ... and they could. The notion of creating government monitored safety nets wasn’t needed. The traditional family was not threatened. Educational tools were rewardingly accurate. The community was involved and socially entwined. Concern for others was still alive and functioning. This "praised, energetic society" forged ahead. It advanced from crowded city cliff dwellers to suburbanite home owners. They departed from train, trolley, bus rider, to proud owners of shiny new automobiles. The sought after forty hour work week became reality. Leisure time, disposable income, continuing trust that the bubble would only expand, kept it growing bigger. Honest effort and pride in accomplishment was a winning formula. That factor made all else possible, or so it would seem. In short order, the guidelines became insignificant. A new breed of corporate masterminds, consumed with greed and rewarded for it ... implanted their socially destructive objectives. Product, product quality, worker consideration, fell prey to daily stock market performance requirements. Paraphrasing a board room remark, "GM doesn’t sell cars; it sells stock." What was the end result of this arrogance? Japan, Germany, England, eagerly moved into the U.S. auto market. They remain embedded and prosperous until today. We are asked to accept a transformed picture of our economy ... the "nonsense" of an unrestrained global market place. Our socially responsible formula in tatters, resentment and mistrust pervades the mass of hurting, disillusioned, workers ... destroying their social fabric. Workers that made America great, vested their future in believing, are now suffering the teachery of trashed promises. Again, I must repeat ... "It’s not the buggy-whip syndrome; it’s the greed syndrome." Our economy has had its ups and downs before. Unemployment reached much higher levels than today’s publicized numbers. Temporary disruption of the work force is not a new phenomenon. Abrupt and extreme dislocation of the work force "is a new and frightening happening." This shift in job opportunity was formulated behind our backs. If this planned switch to a service society was forecast, approached honestly, open for national discussion, there might have been a chance it could have been designed to be successful for all. Would that have been a bad way to go? Before society was beset with today’s chaotic, hateful downsizing and restructuring, people willingly listened to explanations. When intelligently presented with facts, accepting a glitch appeared to be reasonable. Faith and the willingness to believe in a return to normalcy was still possible. Recessions of varying degrees came one after another, but as disruptive as they were they seemed manageable. Never did the "glitch" elevate anxieties to the point where we reached a level of combative disintegration. During all previous up and down cycles faith in the system prevailed. There was always a rosier future on the horizon ... a believable rosier future. Life did get better. A thirty five hour work week was in the wind. Some corporations had already instituted a forty hour four day week, affording families more leisure time. Everyone! banks, corporations, workers, appeared to be on the same wave length, convinced the future would continue to promote mutually beneficial advantages for all. Banks, in particular, were at the forefront of displaying confidence. Credit was freely dispersed. Weren’t the banks determined to shower us with credit ... confirming the recipient’s ability to handle it? If one had any doubts about the future and the ability to repay debt, banks were instrumental in dispelling such anxieties. We were on our way to owing our lives to the company store. An accident? Corporate promised ... workers believed. We were glad to have them. They were glad to have us. Who did more for whom? It was a time when I witnessed computer repairmen advance to marketing executives ... trained within the company. I witnessed office personnel at Aramco being sent to the Middle East for high level training ... within the company. I witnessed many success stories, where people with intelligence, not necessarily with degrees, made it to the top ... trained within the company. Small, entrepreneurial family businesses were sprouting up wherever you looked. Under the elevated trains in Brooklyn, a cluttered drab store, selling mops, pots, and assorted housewares eventually became a splendid store on Manhattan’s 5th. Avenue. A hard working electrician, carrying his load of tools on bus and train, converting gas to electric light, eventually had crews working throughout the city. A baker from Europe, starting with a small facility, the bakery and a four table restaurant, eventually grew to develop an extensive bread delivery business. Another newcomer to America began by nailing shingles on the roofs of Levittown homes. He grew to the extent where his real estate holdings became legendary and was written about in the Readers Digest. While this freedom to progress appeared to be America’s solid doctrine, all too soon corporations showed signs of how they could exercise muscle. Merger mania grew, in spite of laws that were supposed to prevent the inevitable ... "too much corporate power." Mergers with suspicious motives, hostile take-overs, junk bond deception, were visible gathering storm clouds. It was obvious, "Power" -- not improvement ... was on a rampage. It wasn’t long before workers’ notions of opportunity and security, began to melt away. Every merger or takeover produced sell-offs and lay-offs. As power got fatter, we got leaner. Many of us went broke. Middle management, a substantial segment of the middle class, had the rug pulled from under them. No longer could the emissaries of power, "our silver-tongued renegades in government" preach the glory of tomorrow. The words of Barnum, "a sucker is born every minute" had reached a climax. The sucker was waking up. The "Chip" not yet fully utilized, was beginning to emerge as the ultimate tool of power. Fighting back still appeared to be possible. Now! waiting much longer ... may insure impossibility. The middle class society that brought America to her greatness was unconscionably altered and dismantled. The dedicated workers who created the bubble of growth -- who cooperated in every way to ensure its future ... were unceremoniously dumped. "Power" affirmed its capabilities of ultimate control. Normally expected job longevity, ensuring a worker’s future well being, was being eradicated. As a result, the "Family" was relegated to continue its slide to oblivion. Debt, so readily showered on us, became a noose around our necks. As our death rattles grew in intensity, consumerism, the "wheels of power’s limousines" ... was going flat. That didn’t seem to matter so much. It’s easier to repair a tire than restore a life. "Power" knew that and proved that. Today, turmoil reigns as never before. Corporations’ profits, greater than ever, stock values flying high, have been created by inexcusable downsizing ... a practice that will come back to haunt them. Those who have gotten the ax are being bombarded by government to embrace retraining. Our government, though they secretly sponsored corporate advantage, now tries to sweet-talk us into submission. If they succeed we will all wind up "Pushing Hamburger." Will the Pacific Rim economic expansion be receiving economic refugees from the USA? As if there is not enough greed created chaos, more is being cooked up. Welfare reform, an attempt at improvement, is being engineered by sadistic minds. It is being designed to force welfare recipients into an already shrinking job base, which has displayed an inability to "keep the American family together." Crazy? Clever? General Motors closes a plant in the U.S.. Needed downsizing and reorganization are some of the publicized explanations. Jobs gone, a community dedicated to the corporation is put in jeopardy as a new General Motors plant appears in Mexico. Is this chicanery or stratagem? Does our government intercede on our behalf? No way! Government steadfastly argues in favor of its appropriateness. They did sponsor NAFTA ... you know. Tons of our tax money went to Mexico as an outcome of the deal. Think again ... chicanery, stratagem, or both? Even if we wanted to be patriotic and buy American goods to regrow our industrial base how can we, if most aren’t made here any more. Try a simple experiment. From the time you wake up in the morning and brush your teeth, till you’re ready to retire, write down where everything you touch or go near is made. The countries of origin will speak volumes. We, the consumers didn’t want everything to be made over there. It was our submissive government, bending to corporate will, that created corporate welfare (tax advantages) and looked the other way, dismissing our abhorrence to exploited labor competing with us. There seems to be no end to suspicious, perplexing inconsistencies. Why, when America attained phenomenal meteoric growth and dominance in the production of goods for the world market, are we now imitating the job market of third world economies? There are those who will have lots, as the rest are relegated to limiting toil. Why, after becoming the world’s leading industrial power, are we importing so many of our daily necessities and have become the world’s biggest debtor? Why, when we proclaim to be a utopia, do we lag far behind in education, health care, crime prevention etc. ... of those we bombed into oblivion? Have the custodians we entrusted to adhere to "our rational," including the President, become one with a conspiracy? Are we entering a new age ... "domestication of the work force"? Too cynical a thought? Think! Look back! Only a generation past -- rewarding beliefs, rewarding application of rewarding employment, usually resulted in rewarding achievement ... and a promising future. Where have those attributes gone? What kind of future are we being led to? Simply put, we have come to disbelief, disillusionment, disconnected depression. This characterization is not portraying isolated pockets in our society, nor is it the result of isolated intentions of those in power. It couldn’t be. it’s too pervasive and therefore must be assumed to have been orchestrated through coalition, and with hidden intent. Our President has no compunctions of appearing on television and announcing in emphatic terms, "our country has become a service society, get used to it." It didn’t just come to his attention, he must have been in collusion with "power’s agenda" for a long time. The louder we cry out for our government to intervene -- to put the brakes on what is happening -- to curtail corporate abuse of power ... the more defensive and ridiculous become their antidotes. A persistent ominous thought keeps surfacing. This recently acknowledged, guardedly admitted to, "New World Order" -- is it a prelude to strategies of "multi-national organizations" ... specifically designed to divide a world they will eventually own? The more I contemplate the connections in today’s world, the more I have to believe that corporate is bent on dominating it in their own way. The more I contemplate the outcome, the more I believe an "Orwellian" era is closing in on us. Will machine supplant the mind of the masses? Is man destined to become an organic appendage to the "Chip"? When 350 of the world’s richest people have more wealth than 3,000,000,000 of the world’s population, anything is possible and many things are becoming probable. When 350 are equal to 3,000,000,000, could there be temptation? You bet! How might ownership of the entire world be controlled and administered? Not to worry, it’s already under way. The tool is the chip. "Chip." A godsend for some ... a curse for most.  Oh for the good old days!!! The following were some comments made in the year 1957 (1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00." (2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one." (3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous." (4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" (5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." (6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage," (7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls," (8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The Wind", it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it." (9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas." (10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President." (11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now." (12) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work just to make ends meet." (13) "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work." (14) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business." (15) "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress." (16) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on." (17) "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel." (18) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood." (19) "And now the interruption of the good part, whatever the movies, as the lights go on, and everybody (including little kids) are going and coming from the refreshment stand and the restrooms!"
