The Pigmen Win Again
Submitted by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog,
“The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they’re an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They’ve got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else.” - George Carlin

After the disgusting example of politicians of both spineless parties bowing down before Wall Street, the military industrial complex and corporate interests this weekend with the passage of a bloated pig of a spending bill totaling $1.1 trillion, how can anyone not on the payroll of the vested interests not admit there is only one party – and it serves only the needs of the wealthy business interests. Obama, champion of the common folk, signed this putrid example of political corruption and corporate capture of the American political system. For all the believers who voted for the red team in the November mid-terms, this is what you got – a bipartisanship screwing of the American people.
The entire episode has been nothing but Kabuki Theater. Both parties have proven to be puppets marching to the tune of Wall Street moneyed interests, while further entrenching the status quo by voting to allow more corporate influence over the election process. Each side of the aisle allowed just enough dissent to make it appear they might not reach an agreement. But at the end of the day Pelosi, Boehner, Reid and McConnell joined hands and gave it to the American public good and hard. And of course we had the candidates for president in 2016 Warren and Cruz playing to their constituents with speeches and maneuvers designed to make them look like fighters for the common man. It was nothing but a show, as they did nothing substantive to stop the bill from passing.
What this entire debacle has proven is that voting doesn’t matter. Your vote is meaningless. Political parties are nothing more than a front for the vested interests. The corrupt politicians are bought and sold by Wall Street and corporate interests. The bills are written by lobbyists for the vested interests. When a spending bill is over 1,700 pages, the purpose is to obscure, hide and insert provisions that will benefit those with money to influence the process at the expense of average Americans. None of the perpetrators in Congress actually read this bill. The public had no say regarding this bill. If this is what bipartisan cooperation looks like, I’ll take gridlock. The system has been so completely captured by those pulling the wires, they no longer even pretend to care what we think. They keep winning and care not about the consequences of their ruthless despicable pillaging.
Politicians decry money in politics when they are paraded onto the mainstream media talk shows. They profess to be men and women of the people, fighting for our rights. So how do they go about getting money out of politics? They dramatically expand the amount of money wealthy political donors can inject into the national parties, drastically undercutting the 2002 landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance overhaul. A wealthy donor who could only give a maximum of $32,400 this year to the Democratic National Committee or Republican National Committee can now give ten times as much – a total of $324,000. Do you think these wealthy donors might have ten times more influence over government policies, laws, regulations, and tax codes? Do you think these donors are contributing these funds to fight for the rights of average Americans making $50,000 per year? This change just further entrenches the rich vested interests. Your vote just became even more meaningless.
The most outrageous provision in the spending bill is Wall Street putting the American taxpayer on the hook for when their $250 trillion of derivatives of mass destruction blow up the worldwide financial system again. Elizabeth Warren, playing her part in this farce, feigns outrage, knowing it will pass anyway:
“Mr. President, Democrats don’t like Wall Street bailouts. Republicans don’t like Wall Street bailouts. The American people are disgusted by Wall Street bailouts. And yet here we are five years after Dodd-Frank with Congress on the verge of ramming through a provision that would do nothing for the middle class, do nothing for community banks, do nothing but raise the risk that taxpayers will have to bail out the biggest banks once again. You know, there is a lot of talk lately about how Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. There is a lot of talk coming from CitiGroup about how Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. So let me say this to anyone listening at Citi —I agree with you. Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. It should have broken you into pieces. If this Congress is going to open up Dodd-Frank in the months ahead then let’s open it up to get tougher, not to create more bailout opportunities.”
Senator Warren does hit at the heart of the matter. The Too Big To Fail banks should have been made too small to matter after they created the 2008 worldwide financial collapse. Congress should have reinstated Glass Steagall, the insolvent Wall Street banks should have been liquidated or sold off piece by piece, and the American taxpayer shouldn’t have had to pay one dime. Instead, those banks became bigger, more powerful, more arrogant, and more reckless. And now they are writing the laws supposedly regulating them. Regulatory capture at its finest.
Dodd-Frank was already a behemoth mess of a law, written by bank lobbyists, and so complex it was always destined to fail. The law that set up America’s banking system in 1864 ran to 29 pages; the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 went to 32 pages; the Banking Act that transformed American finance after the Wall Street Crash, commonly known as the Glass-Steagall act, spread out to 37 pages. Dodd-Frank was 848 pages long. One of the few beneficial sections of the law was the provision that required banks to “push out” their derivatives trading into separate entities not backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Essentially, this provision prohibited the Too Big To Trust Wall Street Banks from using the deposits of customers to gamble on derivatives, with no capital behind the gambling. Any Wall Street bank that wanted to trade derivatives had to do it in non-insured subsidiaries, and when these trades blew up in their faces, the banks would be solely on the hook. They prefer the they win you lose method.
This spending bill included language written directly by Citigroup and inserted by the politicians in the back pocket of Jamie Dimon and the rest of the Wall Street cabal. Dimon showed no shame as he personally called lawmakers to insist they pass this bill with the gutting of Dodd Frank. Wall Street bankers can now gamble with the deposits of their clients with impunity generating obscene insider profits, and when they inevitably blow up the financial system again the American taxpayer will be on the hook for the losses. In a shocking development, the members who voted for the spending bill had received vastly more political contributions (bribes) than those who voted no. Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, concisely sums up the goal of this provision:
“It is because there is a lot of money at stake. They want to be able to take big risks where they get the upside and the taxpayer gets the potential downside.”
And there will be downside. Like Captain Renault in Casablanca, Jamie Dimon and the rest of the Wall Street CEOs will be shocked to find there has been gambling going on in their upstanding institutions of finance, as they cash their $10 million bonus checks. The markets are already overvalued, built on a foundation of debt, and rigged by the Wall Street scumbags. They make Bernie Madoff look like an upstanding citizen. It seems awfully coincidental this provision was inserted into the 1,700 page bill just as the markets have begun to tremor. Wall Street wouldn’t be preparing for another earthquake, would they? The fact that Obama signed this bill is a reflection of him being a spineless toady figurehead, doing the bidding of the ruling class.
The Republicans have run against Obamacare since the day it was passed in 2009. They have threatened to overturn it, de-fund it, and scale it back. This spending bill fully funds Obamacare just as it was passed. Dozens of Republicans voted for a spending bill that fully funds the program they despise. Obama recently subverted the U.S. Constitution once again with his latest executive order allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and enjoy our wonderful welfare system. The Republicans were morally outraged and their response was to fund Obama’s executive order to the tune of $2.5 billion. There’s $948 million for the Department of Health and Human Service’s unaccompanied children program — an $80 million increase. The department also gets $14 million to help school districts absorbing new immigrant students. And the State Department gets $260 million to assist Central American countries from where of the immigrant children are coming.
So much for principles, ethics, and courage. You see bipartisanship in Congress means that one side will agree to fully fund the welfare state as long as the other side will fully fund the warfare state, while both sides do whatever Wall Street instructs them to do. Neither side cares that the National Debt increases by $2.5 billion per day. That’s what the Fed is for. The neo-cons in the Republican party were happy, as their dreams of World War III come closer to fruition. There’s $1.3 billion for a new Counterterrorism Partnership Fund; $5 billion for military operations to combat the Islamic State, including $1.6 billion to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces (I thought we already trained them once before); $500 million for a Pentagon-led program to train and equip vetted Syrian opposition fighters; $810 million for ongoing military operations in Europe, including requirements that at least $175 million is spent in support of Ukraine and Baltic nations. And you were worried about Defense cuts. The military industrial complex will never allow their profits to decline. If we run out of real enemies, we just make them up out of thin air – ISIS, or go back to the Cold War playbook and declare Russia to be an imminent threat to our safety and security.
Despite running $800 billion actual (not the BS reported deficits) annual deficits, the political hacks of the ruling party still funnel $3.1 billion per year to Israel, $1.3 billion to the dictator in Egypt, and $1 billion to our puppets in Jordan. This hyper-interventionism in the affairs of countries around the globe, either through military intervention, supplying arms, overthrowing elected leaders, or funding dictators has destabilized the entire world. Russia is not the aggressor on the world stage, as portrayed by the mouthpieces for the state in the mainstream corporate media. The American empire has created the conditions for havoc, disarray and war to flourish. Someone will ultimately do something stupid and the fury of hell will be unleashed across the globe. And it is our fault.
You’ll be happy to know the trucking industry still has some pull in Congress. Their drivers will be allowed to work 82 hours per week, versus the far too restrictive 70 hours per week. When you are driving your economy car on the interstate and that 18 wheeler is barreling down on you from behind, thank Congress when the drowsy dude behind the wheel is working his 81st hour of the week. And if you were a hard working middle income blue collar worker in businesses such as trucking, construction and supermarkets and were promised a pension, tough luck. Hidden inside the bill was a haircut for pensions. This provision allows the promised pension benefits of up to 1.5 million workers and retirees to be cut. It affects the pooled pension plans — called multi-employer plans — of mostly union workers across a bunch of companies, where it looks like the plans won’t be able to cover full benefits in coming decades.
Could it be any clearer that we are nothing but lowly peasants and the aristocracy inhabiting the protected luxury skyscrapers suites in New York City and the government buildings in Washington D.C. have nothing but contempt and scorn for our plight, as they gorge themselves like pigs at the trough of working people’s wealth? They use taxes and inflation to siphon your savings and earnings, rig the markets so they always win, write the laws to favor themselves, and use the mass media and the police surveillance state to crush dissent, control the message and intimidate the masses. The ruling class fears the masses and continues to prepare for a coming conflict. Within the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015, passed this week, was written a new section that grants the executive branch virtually unlimited access to the communications of every American.
Sec. 309 authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of nonpublic communications, including those to and from U.S. persons. The section contemplates that those private communications of Americans, obtained without a court order, may be transferred to domestic law enforcement for criminal investigations. Sec. 309 provides the first statutory authority for the acquisition, retention, and dissemination of U.S. persons’ private communications obtained without legal process such as a court order or a subpoena. The administration currently may conduct such surveillance under a claim of executive authority, such as E.O. 12333. However, Congress never has approved of using executive authority in that way to capture and use Americans’ private telephone records, electronic communications, or cloud data.
The majority of American people still believe they live in a democracy where their vote matters. Sadly, they are living in a delusional fantasy world, as they actually live in a corporate fascist welfare/warfare surveillance state run by one party of vested corporate interests. Until consent is withdrawn and the pigmen are violently confronted, nothing will change. The existing social order will be swept away within the next fifteen years as this Fourth Turning reaches its bloody conclusion. You may think we are all equal under the law, but Orwell knew that some are more equal than others. Can you distinguish the pigs from the men?
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” ? George Orwell, Animal Farm

Let's make some bacon already.
In their life there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking
Jew bankers and their corrupt gov pigs are planning another crack-up-boom-rip-your-face-fake-as-Obongos-birth-certificate-Christmas-rally as we type.
Just watch.

Making bacon is rather easy. Equal parts salt and sugar and a pinch of sodium nitrate and some pork belly. Put it all in a bag and cure it in the bottom of your fridge for three weeks (turn it over every other day). Smoke in your smoker for three hours. That's easy the easy part. The hard part is finding someone to actually sell you the pork belly.
So you can think of your "bacon" the same way. Getting the "ingredients" together is the easy part. Getting the actual "pork belly" to work with is going to be the hard part.
The Majority of people in America Vote for a living, and their votes do count; and that is what the overseers depend on.....
A Democracy is not a Republic...
Quite right and every criminal parasite in the world instinctively knows it.
Sometimes they're not as dumb as they appear ;-)
Amen, brothers! Tyler, it would be wonderful if you would make a thread covering Red Beckman's DEMOCRACY vs. REPUBLIC on youtube. Every human needs to see this. Democracy is VILE! In a democracy, the INDIVIDUAL is on the bottom. In a Republic, the individual is on top right under GOD. Which would you prefer?
The "dominant critter" is "group X". And who is group X?
And they want more:

Good government = Oxymoron.
When this is all over with and our nation has arrived where we all know this is heading, I would like everyone to remember just ONE THING from this article. The George Carlin quote at the top. Not because it's funny or sad or ironic, but because he said it damned near 30 YEARS AGO. That it rings so true and prophetic today is not by accident. This shit didn't just "happen" all of a sudden. It was known about and seen LONG AGO for those willing to read between the lines and apply some critical thinking.
This was DONE TO US. We didn't arrive here by accident or without prompting or guidance from powers outside the life experience of regular people. WE DIDN'T GET HERE BY ACCIDENT. We were lead here. ON PURPOSE AND FOR A SPECIFIC REASON.
I won't insult your intelligence by stating what that reason was. You already know why.
Right, we're all victims. Somebody should do something.....
I figured somebody would raise that point. Many are quick to raise the false-victimhood flag, implying that all claims of being vicimized (or more accurately, subverted) are false. Some claims are real. If you think we legitimately voted our way as a population, all on our own, into the present situation you are deluding yourself.
Of course you are correct. We find ourselves here against our will mostly due to our natural inclinations to believe those in positions of power and authority actually have our best interests in mind. Now we find ourselves in a minority position with limited avenues of recourse having exhausted the powers of both the soap box and the ballot box. History has shown what comes next, yet we are still too patient and good-natured to do the dirty work necessary to salvage the true Republic for future generations. The spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak indeed......

The more important thing is .... outgunned.
The only person George Carlin left out in his quote is the President. And unfortunately, today's President makes that an all the more glaring an omission.
Poor George... he could not imagine what an abomination would be elected to the Presidency in 2008.
The only vote you have that counts lives in your wallet.
Vote with your money.
Refuse debt - starve the beast.
I have no car, no cell phone, no TV, no debt.
That's how I vote.
"Vote with your money".
I agree with you in spirit but unfortunately it is not your money. It is "their" money because it was issued by them and says so right across the top of the bills "Federal Reserve Note". What you consider "your money" is actually "their credit".
This idea has some interesting legal implications. Since you are using "credit" or "IOU"s in exchange for "goods" you never actually "pay" for anything. You can't legally pay for something with IOUs. That is why any financing agreement (credit card, car loan, mortgage) makes reference to "discharging your debt" and not "paying" it. You can only "pay" for things with money and since there is no money with which to pay you are left to "discharge" your debt and transfer that debt from yourself to the issuer of the note. That issuer of the note happens to be the Federal Reserve.
So George Carlin wasn't kidding when he said that they "own" everything.
Federal Reserve Notes are legal tender for all debts, public and private. You pay with FRNs, you're paying the debt, you're not discharging it, that only applies when you use credit. FRNs are a liability of the Fed, that's why there are only about 1.25-Trillion in circulation around the globe, all the rest is private credit, which has no legal status as money or a currency at all, not even the credit issued by the Fed. The vast majority of currency in circulation is credit created by private commercial banks, not the Fed.
The richest amongst us have exactly the same amount of 'money' in their deposit accounts as the poorest amongst us have in theirs, $0.00. They are all credited accounts, a promise to pay, bank debt.
The problem people have with this topic is that they don't know the difference between legal tender money and credit, and that includes most of the so called 'experts'.
"FRNs are a liability of the Fed, that's why there are only about 1.25-Trillion in circulation around the globe, all the rest is private credit, which has no legal status as money or a currency at all, not even the credit issued by the Fed. The vast majority of currency in circulation is credit created by private commercial banks, not the Fed."
I beg to differ. Federal Reserve Notes are obligations of the United States (meaning you and me) as stated in 12 USC 411
"Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank."
When you exchange goods or services for FRNs you are transfering the Federal Reserves promise to pay you to the shop keeper. In exchange for accepting the FRNs the shop keeper is alienating himself from the goods. You aren't "paying" him/her anything unless you're paying with coinage. And if the shopkeeper doesn't redeem his FRNs for lawful money he won't ever be paid either.
Federal Reserve notes are legal tender currency notes. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks issue them into circulation pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. A commercial bank belonging to the Federal Reserve System can obtain Federal Reserve notes from the Federal Reserve Bank in its district whenever it wishes. It must pay for them in full, dollar for dollar, by drawing down its account with its district Federal Reserve Bank.
Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue. The idea was that if the Congress dissolved the Federal Reserve System, the United States would take over the notes (liabilities). This would meet the requirements of Section 411, but the government would also take over the assets, which would be of equal value. Federal Reserve notes represent a first lien on all the assets of the Federal Reserve Banks, and on the collateral specifically held against them.
And you missed the main point and takeaway 'Private Credit' """"ZOOM""""" right over your head.
If you had clicked the "next" button, you would've read the "catch" to the "discretion" on the issue of FRNs.
nice article. Logicalman - there are many interesting stories of people who dropout of the system and live quite well.
I will add this - the time to borrow is when rates are high.
They've been writing their own rules since 1913, usually in pencil.
"The fact that Obama signed this bill is a reflection of him being a spineless toady figurehead, doing the bidding of the ruling class."
Precisely, and in 2016 it looks like the choice will be between two spineless toady figureheads - Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush (the left or right entrance into the slaughterhouse).

Pigs (Three Different Ones) (Roger Waters)
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....! .....! .....! .....!
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.
That album described everything that's going on today, almost 40 years ago. Apparently things were fucked up back then too, maybe just worse now.

You expect me to read this?
It's the standard gruberzation, sir.
Until we have publicly funded elections, nothing will change. Can you imagine the squealing pigs & their corporate media if the idea of publically funded elections is mentioned?
Elections are the problem, regardless of how they are funded. The whole system of control has to be broken down. As long as people look to "leaders" to make decisions for them nothing will change. "Public" funding, like "public" anything is part of the problem. A fully private society is the only free society.

But, nobody ever asks why the sheeple seem so content? They don’t care about any of this b.s. They don’t even know what the f*** you people are talking about. Just make sure they have access to enough credit to buy a new I-Phone, HDTV, and SUV and enough government handouts to live in a small house (or double-wide). The oligarchs are greedy, but aren’t stupid. They know how to keep the masses from revolting and go right along with the propaganda. Goebbels was a master at this and it wasn’t lost on D.C. Got old and never saved a dime, the gubernment will mail you a check. Weigh 400lbs from eating potato chips, soda pop and watching Dancing With The Stars all day, gubernment will send you a nice disability check. Run out of chips? EBT card will recharge on the first.
So, try to explain why the masses should give s*** about being ruled by benevolent oligarchs? So what if their vote means nothing with a congress fully bought and paid for. Only a total collapse with everyone’s 401k’s plunging, will bring the people out into the streets. And tomorrow Janet will go all out to push the Dow up 500 points and keep the party going.
Oligarchs are by no means 'benevolent' whatsoever, TT. Evil and sociopathic, but not benevolent.
Another great, spot on rant by Jim Quinn. Some here may not appreciate him, but I do...he always seems to sum up exactly how I feel about those ratfucking, scumbucket, bought and paid for POS on Wall St. & DC.

Irrefutable undeniable Fact 1:
"Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, along with other entitlement programs such as food stamps, unemployment, and housing assistance, make up 60 percent of all federal spending."
http://www.heritage.org/federalbudget/budget-entitlement-programs
Irrefutable undeniable Fact 2:
The politicians, eg obola, cannot get into office to create and expand the earnings-confiscating debt-binging entitlement programs unless they win elections.
Irrefutable undeniable Fact 3:
There are not enough votes from the boogey men, ie "banksters, jews, wealthy elites, oligarchs, plutocrats, corporate executives, etc" to win elections and put politicians, eg obola, in office. Therefore, the politicians can win elections and get into office ONLY if they get a majority of the votes of the proletariat, the plebians, the sheeple - more than 50% of whom are entitlement program parasites. So that is the purpose of the entitlement programs, ie to bribe a majority of recipient voters into keeping the entitlement program sponsors in office. Therefore, the segment of the population that is "in control" is the entitlement program parasites, NOT the "banksters, jews, wealthy elites, oligarchs, plutocrats, corporate executives, etc", ELSE there would not be ANY entitlement programs !
Irrefutable undeniable Fact 4:
Get rid of the entitlement programs and 60% of the federal spending goes away with them - that could be a 60% reduction in income taxes, and a 60% reduction in federal spending, ie no more deficits, no more accumulation of debt. It also means that politicians could not buy the votes of the society's most voluminous parasites in bulk to win elections
If you didn't care what happened to me
And i didn't care for you
We would zigzag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occassionaly glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the Buggers to blame
And watching for Pigs on the Wing.

What Elizabeth Warren Missed in Her Big Bank Tirade
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/121514-730656-why-liberal-icon-...
Yeah... Past few days have been a real disappointment... and I had such hope. But at least the vote was close, so we will get them next time!
Meanwhile I will just double down on my meds.
At least good old Elizabeth Warren is prepared to sock it to the Wall Street financiers. Why, Move on .Org has secured over a hundred thousand signatures begging her to run for the high office... Wait, I am confused... isn't Move on funded by George Soros?
All of this is simply too taxing... time to go back to sleep. Two extra strength sleeping pills, and a couple of painkillers should do the trick. Have my bottle of anti-depressants right next to the bed for first thing in the morning. Almost out though and still have half a month to go on this prescription. Fortunately I have three doctors. If I could only remember who I hit up last.
