The US Government Explained In One Chart
The oligarchic pilfering and capital misallocating and squandering network of insiders known as "government" truly deserves a picture rather than 1000 words.
Still, here are a few words via Bill Bonner from Acting Man blog, who explains that...
Government’s primary concern is not to protect its citizens or their economy. Instead, it aims to transfer more power, status, and wealth to the elite who control it (the oligarchs).
And to do that, it must keep the masses (the poligarchs) sedated. As Charles Hugh Smith, chief writer at OfTwoMinds.com, explains:
"The State has two core mandates: enforce quasi-monopolies and cartels for private capital, and satisfy enough of the citizenry’s demands for more benefits to maintain social stability. If the State fails to maintain monopolistic cartels, profit margins plummet and capital is unable to maintain its spending on investment and labor. Simply put, the economy tanks as profits, investment and growth all stagnate. If the State fails to satisfy enough of the citizenry’s demands, it risks social instability."
The feds will be the borrowers of last resort. But the money won’t be invested in a brighter future. It will be pilfered and squandered.
And then what?

Because the real criminals created the FEMA camps in the first place.
That's the beauty of it. Take them, put them in their own f'ing camps. Take back the country. There should be enough space for every top level federal and state official until we can get things sorted out.
Yup yup yup. Should be easy to sort it out. Just dissolve government and keep it dissolved.
You'd have to undo all the past executive orders, default on the national debt, get rid of the federal reserve, CIA, etc, take the US off of maritime law, return to the constitution and have open elections which are only open to people who have registered as independent for at least 13 years.
Basically a military coup, followed by the dissolution of the corporation of the United States, and a RETURN to the constitution.
Shut down DC forever.
As much as I would liek to see this happen, I doubt I will.
The Bonner quote contains a logical error.
"and capital is unable to maintain its spending on investment and labor."
SHOULD BE
"and Cartel capital is unable to maintain its spending on investment and labor - the balance being retained by the rest of us."
The first variant presumes Oligarchy to be efficient and effective rather than a price interference mechanism.
The second variant correctly identifies the system as a price interference mechanism through restriction of the supply of goods and services by way of Cartelization for the ultimate purpose of - LARCENY.
Nicely said!
That chart has Dick Cheney written all over it.
Great schematic!
And Martin Armstrong is going on about unions being the problem? Sheeesh!
That point needs to be made again and again.
We fight over the crumbs and never stop to wonder "Who took the cake?"
Martin Armstrong is he defender of his tribe first. He still is a savvy analyst and commenter.
Follow the money trail. Always is, and always has been, all about that. The rest is just a Potemkin village.
let's not forget the engine which keeps the machine working..... Fractional reserve banking or debt serfdom
well that's just it. "who in their right mind would lend into this?"
and the answer of course is "no one."
so we'll just have to print then?
QE i understood...straight up debt monetization. this keeps interest rates from exploding and allows for a recovery to take hold and tax revenues to surge. TARP, TALF, you name it...i didn't think it would work but it sounded 'bout right.
now it's time for the "more traditional approach"? sales taxes should be declared unconstitutional. simply put it incentivises hyperinflation by giving the false impression that "that's real money" and "those are real repayments." Given the amount of leverage inherent in the system...the trillions in derivatives, the sheer size of just a single Government program...let alone say buying an F-35, it's really hard to see reality of our "jobless prosperity" not leading to a truly staggering wave of defaults "no matter how many Government employees we retire."
the market is full of people who know nothing,
need nothing and make nothing of value. and that's ok but
who would lend, borrow or entrepreneur into it; and for what
reason?
the full court press of the fraud money system, ponzi
that never takes a breather, strikes again.
are we seeing the extinction of un"economics", left with
just flooding, wildfires, sensationalism and mindless threats
heaped upon strangers for the gratifying
diversion and release while the terrorists claim victory
and persecute the innocent?
it is a game i won't play, when they draw the hangman
they play the war card. f'em.

Nicely done, Tyler!
That is the REAL chart for our "democratic" Republic. The chart should be printed up and used as a instructional aid to students of Government along with instruction of how to manage life living under a bridge or drainage tunnel.

Q1) If it walks like an oligarchy and talks like and oligarchy then it is a: O__g____y.
(Answer: Please report for detention.)
Thanks for the link.
Interesting read novictim, its nice to know they've made voter channeling and exploitation into an exact science.
edit- i changed my answer to 'oligopoly' but still got detention
Gee. They didn't teach that chart in biz school.
Thanks for the link. Read part - will read the rest later. My take so far - academic wordsmithing to avoid words that describe reality. They take pains to avoid upsetting the applecart. They could have cut to the chase and said special interest control govt and the voters have zero impact on direction.
Plus on page 13 they had this:

END IT ALL.
How? The masses are sedated and stupified.
Nowdays Its all weed, booze and apathy. For daydreaming we have the moronic idolization of pornstars making it big in fashion and dreams of rubbing shoulders with beyonce and warren buffet, for drama its crime programming to make us feel better about ourselves and gay characters on tv shows we should lament because homos have it so rough in the world, and as for education we have limitations on objectivity in the academic setting because of the need for political correctness, which stultifies any quest for real knowledge or solutions. Individualism and the destruction of the family unit is their key aim. Dumbfuckery abounds, and its all by design. Most of it is easily accomplished through the deep influence of media propaganda. Sheeple dont stand a chance.
Hail Hydra!
Nice! It ain't a "few bad apples" (usual Hollywood plot) it's the whole government (Winter Soldier).

Is there any way the masses could take back what has been stolen from us? Any way?
Absolutely! But they will not go without a fight.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Sorry but the Patsies Scapecoats and Dupes is not big enough to Justify the percentage. Also missing is the Mercinaries, Corrupt officials and Cronnies that do the Bidding of the Elite for Profit.
and, the only color that can bring this to an end is ----- crimsom!
Missing from the picture is the large slug of excrement generated by the system, falling towards the great Fan of discontent.
ZeroHeroes must be terrifically insecure. So much effort for the tiny ego gratification derived from their studied ignorance vs untutored ignorance.
It's called "gallows humor," a form of advanced cynicism in the face of the death of Justice. It's a coping mechanism in a world dominated by sociopaths and the narcissists that support them. It's moral outrage at the objectification of humanity, the idea that those who have no value for others know what's best for the whole. It's the acknowledgment that a person has barely the wit to manage their own life, let alone the lives of others. It's ironic that you would bring this up as ego, the driving force of those you support, who see themselves as gods. Your ilk are running rampant, yet that's not enough for you. You are inclined to invade and denigrate those who value your life, whose every thought is in consideration of your worth as an individual. You say nothing of those you chastise, only everything about yourself and your values.
Well said.
kellycriterion, please don't flatter yourself and gratify your tiny ego with 1-liner and 2-liner putdowns.

The future belongs to education. And I fear that both the rich and the poor as well as the in between are going to get a very big lesson.

Currency bestows privilege. The currency only functions as long as the printer can ensure the privileges it promises can be delivered. It seems like currency can bestow almost everything imaginable. Someday it will just stop working and people will laugh at the thought.

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre."

fuck the Fed
fuck Red Shield, and
fuck alls those that enable the bastards!
if we dont buy, dont trade, dont wear, dont eat etc their stuff, theyll starve.
needs kind of cutting and replacing some behaviour, but thats not too hard - compared at playing the game.
Yea but the oligarchs aren't allowed to feel comfortable or free if they are off their reservaton.
We segregate them pretty good. Make oligarchs take private jets and won't let em drink in our bars. Don't want catching any that heredity imbred thing.
It's OK to be an asshole, just don't be a patsy, scapegoat or dupe.
Sometimes, this is difficult.
Nationwide Income Tax Strike 2015 - Pass it on!
"And then what?" Who can tell, but it's likely to be interesting.
"Nationwide Income Tax Strike 2015 - Pass it on!"
I think it's happening already, if only as an unintended consequence of disappearance of small business and the middle class, and other maladies that occur out of malfeasance, corruptiion, totalitarianism.
Take out the Oligarchs. Russia & China et al .... if they want to put Europe and US in a box....go after their Oligarchs........ a few dead Oligarchs on the streets might tone down their ambitions.

The 'Corrupt Private Networks' is heavy on conservatives, when we all know it's both sides of the political spectrum that are corrupt and selling us out.
A tad off topic but very interesting: From today's Daily Telegraph:
The jewish Lord Peter Mandelson (aka "Mandy" after it was revealed that he had a Brazilian boyfriend and fixed a visa for him to stay in the UK, when Mandy was in office as Mr Blair's Deputy PM) offers this threat to Russia:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/1085024...
I take this threat to mean that if Russia doesn't bend over and take it from Western bankers, it will suffer badly.
How come Brit pols all seem to be "gay" - or, to say the least, extremely effete? A "requirement" perhaps?
And if Charles is a "queen", does The Rottweiler "provide" the servicing?
Good question. And it's not just gays, there's allegedly a lot of pedophiles from the Royals all the way thru the top echelons in the highest offices and among famous celebrities.
ten, twenty years ago there was this conspiracy theory that both US and UK secret services liked it that way...
on the other side, why do American pols have - generally speaking - so good hair and above average looks? in part it's cultural. I have the impression that effete gets the female vote, in the UK
"macho" pols like Putin, Berlusconi, Sarkozy and many others go only well on the european continent. why?
If the UK secret services like gays and pedophiles in public office it's probably because they're far more controllable than people with a clean record and no peccadillos in the closet.
IOW: the people who get the top jobs in Britain are those who have something to hide which can always be leaked to the venal MSM if they don't do as they're told.
Mr Blair was allegedly prosecuted for importuning in a public lavatory in Piccadilly some years before he became leader of New Labour and then PM. His police record mysteriously disappeared soon afterwards but you can bet it still exists.
The only unknown is WHO manages and retains these "control files"? My guess is MI5.
Only thing missing is Beelzebub
