Systemic Corruption Has Destroyed America
It's been less than a month since we posted on this topic. But sadly, there are already many new entries.
The Cop Is On the Take
Government corruption has become rampant:
- Senior SEC employees spent up to 8 hours a day surfing porn sites instead of cracking down on financial crimes
- Nuclear Regulatory Commission workers watch porn instead of cracking down on unsafe conditions at nuclear plants
- An EPA employee who downloaded 7,000 porn files, then spent 2-6 hours each workday watching porn. He’s been doing it for years … but the EPA never fired him. Another EPA employee harassed 16 women co-workers … and then was promoted to a higher-paying job with more responsibility, where he harassed more women
- NSA spies pass around homemade sexual videos and pictures they’ve collected from spying on the American people
- NSA employees have also been caught using their mass surveillance powers to spy on love interests, such as girlfriends, obsessions or former wives … and to eavesdrop on American soldiers’ intimate conversations with their wives back home. And see this (“routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted” … “‘Hey, check this out … there’s good phone sex’”)
- An employee of the Transportation Security Administration admitted that TSA agents share – and laugh at – nude scans of passengers. Another TSA employee says that screeners make excuses so they can grope and fondle travelers that they’re attracted to (maybe that’s why the TSA failed to find mock explosives or banned weapons going through checkpoints in 95% of trials)
- Investigators from the Treasury’s Office of the Inspector General found that some of the regulator’s employees surfed erotic websites, hired prostitutes and accepted gifts from bank executives … instead of actually working to help the economy
- The Minerals Management Service – the regulator charged with overseeing BP and other oil companies to ensure that oil spills don’t occur – was riddled with “a culture of substance abuse and promiscuity”, which included “sex with industry contacts”
- Agents for the Drug Enforcement Agency had dozens of sex parties with prostitutes hired by the drug cartels they were supposed to stop (they also received money, gifts and weapons from drug cartel members)
- Drug Enforcement agents also RAN New Jersey’s sleaziest strip club – using illegal, undocumented girls – which included a prostitution ring
- Pentagon employees used government credit cards to pay for adult “escorts” (i.e. prostitutes) and to gamble
- Federal agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and Secret Service investigating Bitcoin money laundering extorted and stole over $1 million in Bitcoin
- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has conspired with big banks to manipulate commodities prices for decades
- The government-sponsored rating agencies committed massive fraud (and see this)
- The Treasury department allowed banks to “cook their books”
- Regulators knew of and allowed the use of debt-hiding accounting tricks by the big banks
- The SEC has been shredding Wall Street documents for decades to help the big banks cover up their fraud
- The Secretary of Treasury (Tim Geithner) was complicit in Lehman’s accounting fraud, (and see this)
- The former chief accountant for the SEC says that Bernanke and Paulson broke the law and should be prosecuted
- The government knew about mortgage fraud a long time ago. For example, the FBI warned of an “epidemic” of mortgage fraud in 2004. However, the FBI, DOJ and other government agencies then stood down and did nothing. See this and this. For example, the Federal Reserve turned its cheek and allowed massive fraud, and the SEC has repeatedly ignored accounting fraud (a whistleblower also “gift-wrapped and delivered” the Madoff scandal to the SEC, but they refused to take action). Indeed, Alan Greenspan took the position that fraud could never happen
- Paulson and Bernanke falsely stated that the big banks receiving Tarp money were healthy, when they were not. The Treasury Secretary also falsely told Congress that the bailouts would be used to dispose of toxic assets … but then used the money for something else entirely
- A high-level Federal Reserve official says quantitative easing is “the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time”
- Bailout funds were not used to help Main Street or the little guy. Instead, the government threw money at “several billionaires and tens of multi-millionaires”, as well as hedge funds, giant corporations like McDonald’s and Harley-Davidson, and numerous foreign banks, including Gaddafi’s Libyan bank, the Arab Banking Corp. of Bahrain, and the Banks of Bavaria, Korea and Mexico
- The non-partisan Government Accountability Office calls the Fed corrupt and riddled with conflicts of interest. Nobel prize-winning economist Joe Stiglitz says the World Bank would view any country which had a banking structure like the Fed as being corrupt and untrustworthy. The former vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas said said he worried that the failure of the government to provide more information about its rescue spending could signal corruption. “Nontransparency in government programs is always associated with corruption in other countries, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be here,” he said
- Arguably, both the Bush and Obama administrations broke the law by refusing to close insolvent banks
- Congress may have covered up illegal tax breaks for the big banks
- Congress recently told the courts that Congress can’t be investigated for insider trading
- Congress has exempted itself from the healthcare rules it insists everyone else follow
- State lawmakers are routinely wined and dined by corporate lobbyists who literally TELL THEM what laws to pass
- North Carolina passed a law LEGALIZING PROSTITUTES for state lawmakers.
- Police have been busted framing numerous innocent people
- Systemic corruption at the FBI lab led to the EXECUTION of innocent people
- Law enforcement also grabs massive amounts of people’s cash, cars and property … even when people aren’t CHARGED with – let alone convicted of – any crime
- Private prisons are huge profit-making centers for giant companies, and private prison corporations obtain quotas from the government, where the government guarantees a certain number of prisoners at any given time
- The government has gone to great lengths to cover up nuclear accidents, radiation dangers, and unsafe conditions at nuclear plants
- The government made sure that false claims were made about the amount of oil spilled by BP in the Gulf
- The government covered up the health risks to New Orleans residents associated with polluted water from hurricane Katrina, and FEMA covered up the cancer risk from the toxic trailers which it provided to refugees of the hurricane. The Centers for Disease Control – the lead agency tasked with addressing disease in America – covered up lead poisoning in children in the Washington, D.C. area (the Centers for Disease Control has also been outed as receiving industry funding)
- The government’s response to the outbreak of mad cow disease was simple: it STOPPED TESTING for mad cow, and PREVENTED cattle ranchers and meat processors from VOLUNTARILY testing their own cows (and see this and this)
- In response to new studies showing the substantial dangers of genetically modified foods, the government passed legislation more or less PUSHING IT onto our plates
- When one of the most respected radiologists in America – the former head of the radiology department at Yale University – attempted to blow the whistle on the fact that the FDA had approved a medical device manufactured by General Electric because it put out massive amounts of radiation, the FDA installed spyware to record his private emails and surfing activities (including installing cameras to snap pictures of his screen), and then used the information to smear him and other whistleblowers
- In an effort to protect Bank of America from the threatened Wikileaks expose of wrongdoing – the Department of Justice told Bank of America to a hire a specific hardball-playing law firm to assemble a team to take down WikiLeaks (and see this)
- The Bush White House worked hard to smear CIA officers, bloggers and anyone else who criticized the Iraq war
- The FBI smeared top scientists who pointed out the numerous holes in its anthrax case. Indeed, the head of the FBI’s investigation agrees that corruption was rampant
- Senior judges in Pennsylvania have pleaded guilty to falsely convicting and imprisoning hundreds of YOUTHS (they got kickbacks from the prisons). The Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to hear a case regarding the corrupt judges. A month later – only after the judges confessed to criminal wrongdoing – did the Supreme Court change its mind and take any interest
- The government has intentionally whipped up hysteria about terrorism for cynical political purposes. For example, former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge admitted that he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help the president win reelection
- Warmongers in the U.S. government knowingly and intentionally lied us into a war of aggression in Iraq. The former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – the highest ranking military officer in the United States – said that the Iraq war was “based on a series of lies”. The same is true in Libya and other wars. Indeed, the U.S. has often launched or proposed launching wars based upon FALSE PREMISES
- When the American government got caught assassinating innocent civilians, it changed its definition of “enemy combatants” to include all young men – between the ages of say 15 and 35 – who happen to be in battle zones. When it got busted killing kids with drones, it changed the definition again to include kids as “enemy combatants”
- $8.5 TRILLION dollars in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996 has NEVER been accounted for. The military wastes and “loses” trillions of dollars. And Congress pushes expensive boondoggles that our generals say are unnecessary and unhelpful … because it’s pork for their district
- The government lied when it said it doesn’t conduct mass surveillance on Americans, and then lied again when it said that spying was aimed at protecting America against terrorists (Why do so many in Congress support NSA spying? Because NSA contractors give them money)
- The government also lied when it said America doesn’t torture (and see this), and then lied once again when it said torture was aimed at protecting America against terrorists
- The government protects criminal wrongdoing by prosecuting whistleblowers. The Obama administration has sentenced whistleblowers to dozens of times the jail time of all other presidents COMBINED). And the government has framed whistleblowers with false evidence
- The government treats journalists who report on government corruption as CRIMINALS OR TERRORISTS. And it goes to great lengths to smear them. For example, when USA Today reporters busted the Pentagon for illegally targeting Americans with propaganda, the Pentagon launched a SMEAR CAMPAIGN against the reporters
- The intelligence services BLACKMAIL people in both government and the private sector with evidence of homosexuality, nude pictures and other information that people want to stop from going public
- Terror attacks such as 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing and the Texas shooting all happened because of PERVASIVE CORRUPTION in our intelligence agencies
The biggest companies own the D.C. politicians. Indeed, the head of the economics department at George Mason University has pointed out that it is unfair to call politicians “prostitutes”. They are in fact pimps … selling out the American people for a price.
Government regulators have become so corrupted and “captured” by those they regulate that Americans know that the cop is on the take. Institutional corruption is killing people’s trust in our government and our institutions.
Neither the Democratic or Republican parties represent the interests of the American people. Elections have become nothing but scripted beauty contests, with both parties ignoring the desires of their own bases.
Indeed, America is no longer a democracy or republic … it’s officially an oligarchy. And the allowance of unlimited campaign spending allows the oligarchs to purchase politicians more directly than ever.
No wonder polls show that the American people say that the system is thoroughly corrupt.
Moreover, there are two systems of justice in America … one for the big banks and other fatcats … and one for everyone else. Indeed, Americans have less access to justice than Botswanans … and are more abused by police than Kazakhstanis.
Big Corporations Are Also Thoroughly Corrupt
But the private sector is no better … for example, the big banks have literally turned into criminal syndicates engaged in systemic fraud.
Wall Street and giant corporations are literally manipulating every single market.
And the big corporations are cutting corners to make an extra penny … wreaking havoc with their carelessness. For example:
- Fracking companies dumped 3 billion gallons of highly-toxic waste into California’s drinking water supply. Fracking is polluting water all over the country. A study published in the journal Ground Water predicts that the highly-toxic fluids used in fracking can migrate to aquifers within a few short years. In addition, it is now official that fracking can cause earthquakes. Yet fracking companies are using military psychological operations techniques to discredit opponents (and see this)
- U.S. military contractors have pocketed huge sums of money earmarked for humanitarian and reconstruction aid. And see this (whistleblowers alerted the government about the looting of Iraq reconstruction funds, but nothing was done)
- General Electric and other nuclear companies KNEW their designs were faulty and unsafe … but hid that fact for decades
- Monsanto has claimed for decades that Roundup is safe, but the World Health Organization just said that it probably causes cancer. Monsanto forbids independent scientists from testing its GMO crops for safety, attacks the computers of people who oppose GMO foods and sue small farmers when Monsanto GMO crops drift onto their fields
- Big farmers are drenching their crops with Roundup right before harvest … to save a buck
- Big food companies work hand-in-glove with the government to dish up unhealthy food
- BP’s criminal negligence led to the giant Gulf oil spill
- There is systemic corruption among drug companies, scientific journals, university medical departments, and medical groups which set the criteria for diagnosis and treatment
(Further examples here, here, here, here and here.)
We’ve Forgotten the Lessons of History
The real problem is that we need to learn a little history:
- We’ve known for thousands of years that – when criminals are not punished – crime spreads
- We’ve known for hundreds of years that the failure to punish financial fraud destroys economies, as it destroys all trust in the financial system
- We’ve known for centuries that powerful people – unless held to account – will get together and steal from everyone else
Beyond Partisan Politics
Liberals and conservatives tend to blame our country’s problems on different factors … but they are all connected.
The real problem is the malignant, symbiotic relationship between big corporations and big government.

The Governor of Texas, The Honorable Greg Abbot, signed into law a bill that allows Texas citizens who suffer from epilepsy to legally use THC oil for the relief of their symptoms. After signing the bill he said that it would be the only Marihuana law that he will sign during his tenure. It appears that the former Attorney General of Texas has reversed his opposition to illicit, herbal hemp, but the truth is he has put his foot down against any further encroachment on his sensibilities against the narcotic drug. Here is why he signed the bill:
Hon. Greg Abbot, as would any Texas Governor, hopes to eventually be a candidate for President of the United States. He knows that Marihuana laws will eventually be changed in nearly all of the states. As a future presidential candidate, he would like to be on record that Texas was an early leader in medical Marihuana legislation. As long as Texas is not in the latter half of states that legalize THC then Texas, under his Governorship, is a de facto early leader of the movement. He is pragmatic enough to realize that the progression of peoples’ attitudes toward the noxious weed will eventually overcome those who are opposed. After all, Marihuana has been legal for medical use or recreational use in sixteen states since the year of our Lord, 2009, and those who oppose a person’s right to put into his body whatever he wants to consume continue to die from the afflictions of old age. Every politician knows that the birth/death rate creates progress.
People in Texas who have a lesion on the temporal lobe of their organic brain that causes seizures can now use THC oil to relieve their symptoms, but they cannot have a drivers license. If you thought that there is a loophole that allows you to use the purest form of the Cannibus plant without giving up anything for your pleasure then you were wrong. When you go to the agency, that at their will and pleasure dispenses the license, and apply for the right to use THC because you have an epileptic condition, you will be required, if you haven’t already, to surrender your driver’s license. The way the Governor sees it is, “If you don’t have a license, you can’t drive.” As a prosecutor he knows that driving a motor vehicle is the most common cause of death in Texas, and he believes that people who are stoned should not drive. Vouchsafing that, the Governor concludes that people who have epilepsy cannot drive, so why not let them get stoned? There is no class of stoner who can legally use THC in Texas, except those who cannot legally drive a motor vehicle.
It is a felony under US drug law (Nixon) to extract THC from cannibus. Therefore, it is safe, as a state politician, to allow epilepsy sufferers to have the substance unless the federal government does not allow it. In other words, the Governor has allowed a narrow class of people (epileptics) to violate the federal law, but don’t count on the state to defend you against the feds if you are willing to violate the federal law. Here, is where the ninth amendment of the Bill of Rights fails in Texas. Texans know that we are a state. Our state legislature has rights that the citizens of Texas have not granted to the federal government. All Texans live under the laws of our state, and we do not need a federal authority to tell us how to make law for Texans.

The source of corruption is the fiat money system. It is counterfeit and false. Usura sets the table where we all eat
People are weak... corruption is Satan's tool.
They're Bad to the Bone, I tell ya'...
IT ALL SOUNDS SO NAIVE,
"corruption". there is no thought
or place that ever existed in
any conceivable, or not, universe
absent corruption;
that and destruction, they are
essential if one looks and thinks.
.
controlling these is called a "power".
directing creation, destruction and construction
is the foundation, brilliance and
perhaps the truth or art?
science is in question.
.
"science (n.) Look up science at Dictionary.com
mid-14c., "what is known, knowledge (of something) acquired by study; information;" also "assurance of knowledge, certitude, certainty," from Old French science "knowledge, learning, application; corpus of human knowledge" (12c.), from Latin scientia "knowledge, a knowing; expertness," from sciens (genitive scientis) "intelligent, skilled," present participle of scire "to know," probably originally "to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," related to scindere "to cut, divide," from PIE root *skei- "to cut, to split" (cognates: Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave," Gothic skaidan, Old English sceadan "to divide, separate;" see shed (v.)).
From late 14c. in English as "book-learning," also "a particular branch of knowledge or of learning;" also "skillfulness, cleverness; craftiness." From c. 1400 as "experiential knowledge;" also "a skill, handicraft; a trade." From late 14c. as "collective human knowledge" (especially "that gained by systematic observation, experiment, and reasoning). Modern (restricted) sense of "body of regular or methodical observations or propositions concerning a particular subject or speculation" is attested from 1725; in 17c.-18c. this concept commonly was called philosophy. Sense of "non-arts studies" is attested from 1670s.
Science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition. Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. Facts are not pure and unsullied bits of information; culture also influences what we see and how we see it. Theories, moreover, are not inexorable inductions from facts. The most creative theories are often imaginative visions imposed upon facts; the source of imagination is also strongly cultural. [Stephen Jay Gould, introduction to "The Mismeasure of Man," 1981]
In science you must not talk before you know. In art you must not talk before you do. In literature you must not talk before you think. [John Ruskin, "The Eagle's Nest," 1872]
The distinction is commonly understood as between theoretical truth (Greek episteme) and methods for effecting practical results (tekhne), but science sometimes is used for practical applications and art for applications of skill. To blind (someone) with science "confuse by the use of big words or complex explanations" is attested from 1937, originally noted as a phrase from Australia and New Zealand."

In het script die de voorzitter van wereldvoetbalbond FIFA van RuitenVrouw heeft gekregen, stond dat zelfs netwerk Juncker nog niet was ingewijd in het GELD=ZUURSTOF-paradigma. Al is het bij (vijandelijke) inlichtingendiensten al langer bekend dat het waarheiddelen tussen (rechts)personen kan worden gevolgd door middel van de geldstromen. Dat Blatter nog steeds niet is opgepakt, komt omdat de criminaliteit ten gevolge van psychosegelovige contracten, klein bier is ten opzichte van de 'garanties', 'verzekeringen' en 'onderpand' met betrekking tot SCHULD-papier.
http://www.ftm.nl/zichtbare-hand-banken-handelsonderhandelingen/#comment...
Vanacht is KlaverenTeam erachter gekomen dat de 'hoofdrolspelers in de Griekse schuldenkwestie' geen ID hebben waar de '1' op aanstuurt. In de nacht van woensdag op donderdag heeft de voorzitter van de Europese Commissie Jean-Claude Juncker namelijk van de Griekse premier Alexis Tsipras gehoord dat de 'al maanden durende onderhandelingen over hervormingen in ruil voor SCHULD-papier' de beschaving in Europa niet op een hoger plan zal zetten en dat het zelfs de haat van de kiezer met het gezonde verstand aanwakkert. Voor de vergadering spraken Eurogroepvoorzitter Jeroen Dijsselbloem (@CP_PvdA) en Juncker (@CP_CDA) over 'welke munitie' zij zouden spinnen aan de Griekse premier (RuitenTeam). Voordat Dijsselbloem echter aanschoof voor 'het werkdiner' heeft hij de @CP_sME gevraagd of ze netwerk @SuperWil wou informeren dat een jaar geleden onze @MinPres nog vertelde dat "De directe schuldencrisis, waarbij meerdere landen aan het infuus lagen, voorbij is”?!?!?
http://www.ftm.nl/witwassen-via-wijngaarden/#comment-1010213922
Netwerk @MinPres zou moeten weten dat de mensen gecompenseerd zouden moeten worden voor de 3e SpinozaGolf. Veel mensen met een (goedbetaalde) baan en (nog hogere) schulden zullen deze positie niet kunnen behouden, omdat hun baan niet meer relevant is in het systeem 'Leven en Laten Leven'. Natuurlijk kan onze @MinPres zich verschuilen achter het gegeven dat hij zijn uitspraken deed naar aanleiding van recente cijfers van de Europese Commissie en de OESO, maar nu blijkt dat de commissie niet voldoende voorkennis had van de 3e SpinozaGolf om 'het juiste' te doen.
http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/05/09/rutte-eurocrisis-voorbij-maar-nog-la...
Al kan de discussie over 'de DIKKE IK' natuurlijk de Tweede Kamer ineens het inzicht geven dat procedures en rinchtlijnen die zijn gebaseerd op psychosegelovige modellen niet de evoluerende werkelijkheid kan voorspellen,
http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2015/06/03/fyra-treinstellen-niet-afzonderlijk-...
de Fyra-commissie van de Tweede Kamer is er al achter dat 'audits' en 'rapporten van gerenomeerde instituten' niets waard zijn. Het wordt dus tijd voor een @basisinkomen met als verplichting om te waarheiddelenL Het systeem 'Liegen om te Leven' is namelijk niet meer te repareren!
http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2015/06/03/fbi-onderzoekt-ook-toewijzingen-wks-...
Rusland en Qatar weten inmiddels dat de FIFA-officials niet het nieuwste script van de 3e SpinozaGolf hadden, dus ...
Wow, is there a reason each one of your messages is in 100% Dutch? As opposed to, ohhh, I dunno .... English? What a load of crap. Unreadable, in-a-foreign-language crap. Wake up.
De minister van Scheepvaart Thodoris Dritsas dacht dat netwerk Juncker meer wist van de 3e SpinozaGolf dan BloemigeJeroen. Nu dit niet het geval is kan RuitenTeam gemakkelijk zeggen dat in de optiek van de EURO er 'onacceptabele voorwaarden worden gesteld aan Griekenland' en zal het IMF door het stof moeten.

Zolang de Europese Commissie het ParadigmaConflict tussen Klaveren- en RuitenTeam niet wil bekijken in de optiek van de 'Logica van de 1' blijven ze neuzelen over een “constructief overleg” en het “begrijpen van elkaars positie” zonder dat hoeven te spreken over het script tot invoering van het systeem 'Leven en Laten Leven'.
http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2015/06/04/griekenland-en-schuldeisers-zijn-opt...
Ook ABN Amro wil klanten nog niet inwijden in de 'Logica van de 1' (is namelijk de geheime formule om een hogere beurskoers te genereren) maar geven ze een extra optie waarmee zij hun restschuld kunnen meefinancieren in een nieuwe hypotheek?!?!?

Twee jaar geleden had minister Plasterk van de @AIVD de Tweede Kamer al kunnen inlichten dat derivaten op SchuldPapier waardeloos zouden aflopen bij invoering van het GELD=ZUURSTOF-paradigma. Dit heeft hij niet gedaan, omdat ...!?!??

Eurlings was minister van Verkeer en Waterstaat in het kabinet-Balkenende IV (2007 - 2010) en vertrok meteen uit de politiek, omdat hij zijn kennis van de 3e SpinozaGolf ten gelde wilde maken.
http://nos.nl/artikel/2039430-oud-klm-topman-eurlings-werkt-bij-american...
Het systeem 'Liegen om te Leven' kon alleen maar functioneren door de cultuur van 'zwijgen is goud' en dat politici nog steeds het SCHULD=H00P-principe niet willen inruilen voor het GELD=ZUURSTOF-paradigma.
http://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/voormalig-fifa-topman-warner-ik-weet-waar...
Doordat Jack Warner nog niet dood wil probeert hij volledige openheid van zaken te geven. Toch waren de activiteiten binnen de wereldvoetbalbond FIFA nog heilig in vergelijking met het gebeuren in netwerk WitteGejT.
Ordinary, average, common, man-in-the street Americans are going to come to know and understand the term "Balkanized". Watching this shit show slowly unfold is unnerving.
Some truth and some lies in your list as always. The one you highlighted was systemic corruption at FBI led to illegal prosecutions. Your own blog says MAY have led to. There is a big difference.
However I give you props for the list of mostly accurate info and as a bonus you equally blame ol' Barry and Bush. And you didn't use Neocon anywhere in there. But in order to be fully legit you must be totally accurate
So you still fail as always in that department.
Keep up though, you'll get there eventually. But then again maybe you're just a bot.
One last thing. Instead of linking things to your blog that then also link to your blog, why not just post the original link? Unless you have something to hide hmmmmmm!
Everyone knows about how the NSA can find dirt on most people they want to get out of the way, the stick approach, but think about the carrot they can dangle in front of people as well. From tapped phone and internet conversations they know what every business is doing, who will default, who will declare bankruptcy, who will be bought out at what price. Look at what you could do with that information and a few bucks in options. You know they could offer huge wealth to whoever they wished, do you think they are too moral to do so? I wonder if this might explain all those 'leaks' we keep hearing about on ZH where somebody keeps frontrunning all the important news announcements. If the SEC guys were to stop watching porn and investigate a tap on the shoulder will tell them to look away.
Nah, I'm sure it never happens that way.
Relevant:
A dirty tricks program? My guess is they have many such dirty tricks. Just to fuck with people. Why work when you can simply swipe whatever you lust for.
I would not be suprized to find out identity theft is just another tool in their bag of tricks.
"On March 17, 1776, George Washington stood on Dorchester Heights alongside fifty-nine captured cannon high above the city of Boston, Massachusetts, and watched as British troops peacefully evacuated the city after an eleven-month siege.
It was a remarkable moment for many reasons. The siege had begun in April 1775, in the days after the Revolution’s opening battles at Lexington and Concord, when local militias cut off the peninsular city from surrounding towns. A twenty-five-year-old Continental Army officer and former Boston bookseller named Henry Knox suggested that cannon might be used to drive the British from the town. Washington sent Knox to Crown Point and the recently captured Fort Ticonderoga in northern New York to retrieve fifty-nine cannon and mortars and bring them to Boston." http://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/war-for-independence/resourc...
The Military will take the country back, is a hope of some..me I think the military likes the corruption as they are the ultimate protection for the criminals in and out of .gov, they always get paid and good gigs when they retire.
The brainless politicians (Senate in CAL ) just passed a law awarding illegals health benefits. Not one dime into the system and they have benefits- illegals now called undocumented- oh, wait name change now they are called dreamers by every newscaster. I am a dreamer too, I dream I can actually not be ripped off by a corrupt government. FED, State, local corruption is the norm ... character, integrity, honesty, words soon to be removed from any lexicon.
More and more people are discovering alternatives like Rick Simpson Oil, so the smartest people have already stopped visting their corporate pill pusher (aka 'medical doctor'), hence perhaps we see here a need to keep 'growth' going strong by including clueless boat-people to keep their hospitals (aka profit centers) goin' strong?
No no my friend they get paid well for doing the NWO elite ram illegals down your throat dance, very well.."The brainless politicians (Senate in CAL ) just passed"
It was a lot of work to compile this list.
Thanks.
Eat, drink, and be merry - at your own risk.
Fvcking Sad.
Until our the makers of law and law enforcers are held to account, expect no justice.
The delusion is that the media and/or the courts would provide a remedy. The boomers suffer from the Bernstein/Woodward investigative reporters taking down Nixon delusion, when the reality was that the acting head of the FBI, aka Deep Throat, was engineering a palace coup among DC insiders.
Our courts are totally corrupt, covered up by our media. The prosecutors/police/judges run an industrial complex with a 98+% conviction rate using false testimony and false forensics. Where is the media reporting on this: http://www.lawlessamerica.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&...
Our civil courts are just as corrupt: http://faqusajudicialcorruption.blogspot.com/
There is no remedy within the system.
Systemic corruption is incapable of fixing itself.
Several months or less back, some retired general, who was on a book tour for some pile of crap he just wrote, gave an interview to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!.
Amazingly, this douchetard bragged about training the Iraqi army (as well as the Afghanistani army).
Now, thanks to his training, no doubt, ISIS has 2,300 humvees and who knows how many automatic assault rifles, machine guns, rockets, ammo, grenades (and other incendiary devices), tanks, etc., etc., etc.?
The other day on CNN, some Colonel shit-for-brains, former commander of Delta Force, stated that America should buckle down and send in the troops for the next 20 to 30 years to battle ISIS in the Mideast! (Yup, he said 20 to 30 years!)
You forgot to add at the end "shaking head" or "wipping tears as I type".
"The real problem is the malignant, symbiotic relationship between big corporations and big government."
Isn't there a name for that relationship? I don't think it's the misunderstood version that is frequently tossed about at political foes...
I'll take a stab - fascism?
Naaaah, not fascism, but that's next on the Pyramid rung.
The top 'ism is, of course, Capitalism!
It goes:
Capitalism
Fascism
Racism
Sexism
Ageism
and all the other 'isms.
... and the slipperiest of them all
J'ism
I've obviously got the wrong job
Big business loves, encourages, and buys big government. The only legal way to stifle competition is to have the government do it for you.
The government that governs least governs best has been replaced by the current monstrosity of oligarchy, crony capitalist, steaming hot pile of shit we call our government.
You could litterally fill pages of this about the wife of a former president
But it seems Americans are still headed for a bad case of Klintonitis....
That's idiocracy for you!
Thanks to the MAN ( GW ) we are very much aware of the Problems We face and Who is responsible for most of these problems. The solution is staring us in the face . . . . meet this demonic force with good old fashioned VIOLENCE . . .
Hey, what's this lying around shit? . . ' well what we supposed to do now. y'moron? ' War's over Man, Obama dropped the Big One . . Over? nothing's over until we say it is. . . Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? . . Hell no, when the going gets tough . . the tough get going. . .

Yep. Who really gives a flying fuck about FIFA?
