What a time to be an oligarch! All I wanted to do was vomit when I saw this.
Folks, there is no way we can have economic prosperity in this country when the top 1% has all of the money. The middle class is basically being destroyed right in front of our very eyes. Consumption economies die when the consumers have no money to consume!
I see growing signs of desperation and anger as the wealth of this nation continues to get transferred to the elite of this nation.
People are starting to "lose" it as a result. This past week's airplane event in Austin was a disturbing development. I must admit that I really am not surprised. The government shouldn't be either.
Things are only going to get worse in the violence department as the taxpayers continue to get violated and more desperate as a result of this economic cataststrophe. The news media tried to downplay the actions in Austin.
I think Washington was both surprised and concerned about what took place in Texas.
I have to ask: Should the government really be surpised that an American flew a plane into an IRS building in a fit of rage as we all get repeatedly fleeced by the political and social elites of this country?
Let me preface all of this by saying violence is not the answer here. However, why shouldn't every American be infuriated by what has ocurred since this crisis began?
More Here.
Of course violence is not the answer; it is the way of the government however. That should tell you right there it's wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou little American serf are a customer of the IRS and they arm themselves with shotguns to collect. Try that small business America. Go collect aged accounts from your customers with armed goon squads.
It is a sad day in America. When our government (IRS) forces it citizens to commit murder and suicide. So much preparation and planning went into this terrible act. The questions is why? Did the IRS sat down and work out a plan? Hell no. The IRS goes to great length to destroy the constitution of the people. Let us work together to change this terrible income tax system. The government must live within it means. This November will be a day of reckoning. PEOPLE GET READY A CHANGE IS COMING. Not a fake ass change like President Obama proposed, but a REAL CHANGE. Let us make a different. Vote for no Democrat and no Republican. If we vote for someone else on the ballot, it will signify to those scumbuckets that we are making a change
ReplyDeleteMy unemployment runs out in a few months with no hope of a job on the horizon.I don't know what kind of evil I'm capable of once my funds run out. I do know that I feel more and more desperate each day.
ReplyDeleteim desperate too. human flesh starts to taste good
ReplyDeleteMy photocopying business swells!
ReplyDeleteI like your plan about not voting for either of these thieving parties in November. I do however think that the USA is a 1 party system set up to make working folks think they have a choice. I no longer believe in either party anymore. It's just another scamming lie.
ReplyDeleteNo job, no money, no home... then as Axle Rose said:
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
...... But you better not take it from me
ReplyDeleteIn the jungle, In the jungle
ReplyDeleteyour my, my serpentine
I am middle class and I am doing ok, for now.
ReplyDeleteIf the SHTF it will be another story, but there is only so much I can do.
It takes a lot of $$$ to buy preps like all the fear mongering goons say.
I still think it's not as bad as most say it is.
What's so civil about civil war
ReplyDeleteit fattens the rich and buries the poooor
you treat us like produce in a human grocery store
what's so civil about cival war?
My take,
ReplyDeleteIf 1% of us have most of the money we have reversed back to the middle ages. Back then most folks were working for the big Kahunas.
In 2010 most of us are smarter and better educated. The rich (different from the wealthy) are greedy and not always smart.
It therefore creates an opportunity for the poorer people to also become rich themselves within a capitalistic system.
Wealth is all of mankind’s aspiration to own a balanced mind with or without real money.
I respectfully disagree that in 2010 we are smarter and better educated. The possibilities are there to be better educated, but instead we choose to accept mind control and delusion as the norm. We are living in a Matrix of lies.
ReplyDeleteHow many middle class americans loaded up in debt? The reason why the 1% have most of the money is because consumers gave it to them by running up huge debts. Why do Americans shop at walmart buying cheap imports instead of buying american goods? Why do Americans believe they are entitled to high paid jobs, unsustainable gov't entitlements SS, Medicare, etc, and cheap imports? Why didn't Americans stand up when the banks were handing out millions of subprime loans in (2002-2007) that would end up in default? Why did Americans believe that home prices only go up and underpriced? Americans choose to bury the're heads in the sand until a crisis affects them.
ReplyDeleteHow many Americans actually save money and do their own financial due diligence on financial investments? Why do Americans constantly fall prey to ponzi and get rich quick schemes?
"A fool and his money soon part ways"
The reason why income ratios were much higher in the 1960's and 1970' was because of post great depression middle class generation. Americans learned their lession after getting swindled during the pre-GD years. Then they stopped chasing ponzi schemes and got started saving money. Unfortunately that generation has died off and we are repeating the same mistakes.

"My unemployment runs out in a few months with no hope of a job on the horizon"
Well you need to find a way to get a job. Learn something new and apply yourself to get employment. There is no so such thing as true unemployment. If you don't have a paying job, then your full time unpaided job is to seek employment. That includes learning new skills and networking with people to identify a paying job. Consider that there is approximately 80% of the population still with jobs. Someone all these people managed to secure employment. Consider that you don't need to be able to run faster than the lion. You just need to be able to run fast than the guy next to you. You can only achieve employment if you want it and you make it happen. Siting in front of the computer and TV all day waiting for the phone to rich with a job offer just isn't going to happen.
That guy should have learned what I learned a long time ago:
ReplyDeleteYou can be technically right yet still get screwed...Offer the stupid IRS a percentage of the debt...Instead he spent 10 years and $40,000 fighting it...Not counting the stress and emotions lost...And now? His life...By the way his wife is getting sued...I hate taxes but sometimes you have to fly under the radar.
As for society?...Well look at all "Crimes of opportunity."
Basically bored kids with no jobs/badly educated and having the manners of a pig roaming around...The break down of the family is in effect.
I DON'T blame some mysterious cabal...I blame US...We have the knowledge, the examples and the opportunities but human nature gravitates to the easiest format...Bad parenting, low morals, no ethics, no pride in workmanship.
WTF happen to us?
This crash coming either economical or with violence will hopefully reset people's minds and maybe we can wake up...Otherwise America lives only in dreams and text books.
I believe the solution is personal. We of course must vote when we can. Other than that we have to plan for the future of our children and grandchildren. What the means is we teach and prepare... 1. How to plant a garden and process your own seeds for next year 2. How to can and dehydrate your own food for the season 3. How to hunt and process animals for the table (and smoke and store meat without refrigeration) and how to tan hides for clothing etc. 4. How to sew and mend clothes 5. How to read books made of paper... and collect a solid library of how to books 6. How to repair a bicycle or cycle and keep it running with minimal effort 7. How to sharpen a knife by hand without electricity 8. How to make soap from wood ash and animal fat 9. How to reload your own ammo 10. What herbs will relieve pain, stimulate the immune system, and make food more palatable 11. How to build a home from sticks, dirt and rocks that would sell for 300,000.00 even in todays market. etc. etc. 12. How to heat a house and cook with a minimal amount of wood. 13. How to handle a gun 14. How to treat your fellow man and not loose your soul in the face of a massive extended crisis
ReplyDeletePeople who are older will be teaching folks in our respective communities how to do basic things. The person who has massive skills like mentioned above will be of extreme value. The unprepared will pay us in gold and trade goods of extreme value to take a class with us on the basics. You will be paid very well to sew, make soap, and teach the neighborhood children basic survival skills. And so it goes...
The reasons why the SHTF are 30 years in the making. Americans are only paying attention now, because everything is coalescing into the Great Storm. For 30 years Congress favored big business and gave tax breaks to the rich and to corporations that headquartered outside the U.S. and that outsourced. We allowed millions of illegal aliens as well as non-residents to come here and take jobs.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bush was running up a deficit and starting two wars, I didn't hear conservatives object. When he and Congress shredded the Constitution, I didn't hear conservatives object. And although 80-90% of Americans did object to the bank bailout, Congress did it anyway.
Now if we're finally going to object to the way they run things, we need to get them to pay attention. Stack and his airplane are among many who have resorted to violence; you just don't hear about a lot of it in the media.
After this winter I'd like to see cooperation between groups on both sides to have a major march on Washington and on Wall Street. I think the only way to get them to pay attention is to frighten them.
the clowns on CNBC say its all "good" esp the one with the noise maker machine, and his brother the guy that used to pimp a chick named Goldie that now I guess is still waiting for the "seeds" to grow. These stock pushers with their puts, shorts, day trading, and hedge's, have no problem "making money" as they get all the insider info daily, besides their 7 figure annual salary's. Like that jackass bozo boo ya, said he paid his secretary 500K a year. how the hell can people in that bracket know about "inflation" At least that Kudlow dude is at least calling for higher rates. This is the guys they ask for "advice" about the economy, and these are the guys that work for them. So that's why the CPI continues to be what "they" say it is.
ReplyDeleteWhen things go bad we always point the finger at each other instead of where it rightfully belongs.
ReplyDeleteSocieties are only following orders and on cue as directed by their corrupt leadership.
The global depression was orchestrated.
They make the rules and we follow on cue.
12:41 Wow, someone who thinks! You are correct. Too much time blaming the neighbors and not enough pointing to the corruption of politicians, lobbyists and attorneys. Most politicians are attorneys, companies are legally corrupt because of attorneys and our judges are attorneys. Hey folks if you want to tar and feather someone when all hell breaks loose in a total collapse gather up all attorneys and put them in Fema camps. I am sure Madoff had secret conversations with an attorney. Lets see... how can you screw a country legally. There is the Ole Mortgage Scam, buying votes with campaign contributions, padding a bill for the old home state. Oh and my personal favorite taxing the hell out of everyone for ablsolutely everything. And they do it all legally. If you are going to be angry focus on the real bastards that have ruined our country. You cannot complain about or point a finger at anything that hasn't had a freaking attorney at it's root.
ReplyDelete1:21 I have never read a more truthful statement. Attorneys have been and always be our problem. They interpret our law and bend it like a jeweler bends gold, easy. And he knows how to apply heat to get it to bend to his will.
ReplyDelete1:21 our entire legal system is a corrupt joke, I agree.
ReplyDeleteWe may think we won the fight for independence from the British but we did not. They then floated over their court system, banking, religious dogmas. All to control us. We never gained independence at all. The ultra wealth Oligarch Euro families own this country and always have.
I always get a chuckle when I see a Bill Gatesor Oprah Winfrey being referred to as wealthy. They are rich maybe, but not wealthy.
ReplyDeleteGates = about 30 billion
Rothschild family = about 225+ trillion
You will never see the Rothschilds, the Morgans, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, listed in Forbes.
The Oligarchs who own it all and run our government prefer not to take that center stage. A half a dozen families control over 50% of the entire worth's wealth.
A how can we, the peasants, focus our wrath on these nearly invisible families of control? Easy! Via their pride and joy. The Federal Reserve. Stealing from you since 1913. Making you are wage slave via the unlawful IRS.
Watch the Creature for Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin or the Money Masters video. At least then there is something physical and concrete to direct your anger towards. Not some mysterious NWO or general 'elite' etc etc.
Then turn on your MSN news and watch the sheeple bow down before the criminals at the Fed. They are held up as heroes. Bernanke is like a savior.
Obama, who is a powerless puppet working for the interests of the Oligarchs, will get on stage for you and tell you that the Fed needs even more authority. That they should supercede even the authority of our (already corrupt) government.
If you are going to get mad about the 1% that are butt raping you, at least have a place to target your anger.
Oh fuck - what a screwed up thread this one is.
ReplyDeleteWe are all so stupid - I especially love the ones that talk about sheeple. That's just so great.
We as a people haven't learned one fucking important lesson in over 2000 years.
Nothing has changed ! Nothing
I also love the "learned Ones" who spout the Oligarchs --- those meannie bastards !
Fuck man - try the Egyptians or the Corithians\
Romans - we have changed nothing.
Live your live man ! It is a measley 70-75 years and if you beat the odds - 80 Whooo Hoooo
Do not squander on these things that are as old as man ( and getting older) there is nothing new under the sun
One popular myth about lemmings is that they react to overpopulation by leaping off of cliffs to their death. While they sometimes do fall to their deaths, they are not consciously committing suicide. Instead, overpopulation and density triggers a migration reaction in the little rodents, causing a frantic and single-minded migration across long distances in search of greener pastures. They are often be so focused on moving forward in a frenzied rate, that they can plunge straight off of embankments,
ReplyDeleteI think we knew that 7:38, but thanks for the clarification.
ReplyDeleteAmericans aren't consciously committing suicide either. Our populace is nothing more than a mind-controlled swarm of authority worshiping, non-thinking drones. The Oligarchs, very their media, simply say the cliff really isn't there - then we run as fast as we can toward it and fall off.
seriously, folks-we have stockpiled the weapons for the revolution-we read Karl Marx, and really knew we'd have to wrest the money from the elitist "Illuminati piggies." THIS GRAB OF WEALTH DID, IN FACT, HAPPEN IN EARLY 1300'S-WHEN THE CONSPIRATORS FOR THE KINGS ACROSS EUROPE FERRETED OUT THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR'S FOR FORMING THE BANKING AND MERCANTILE MIDDLE-CLASS AND THEREBY LESSENING THE MONARCHIES GRASP ON SLAVE LABOR---THAT I-S WHAT THE ONE WORLD ORDER WANTS----MAKE N-O MISTAKE! THE REVOLUTIONISTS WE REPRESENT WANT NOT ONLY TO STOP AND REVERSE THIS TREND----BUT FORSWORE REVENGE IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS FOR THE BETRAYAL AND BUTCHERY OF THE TEMPLAR'S WITH A PLEDGE TO EXPOSE WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT IS NOT SOME COAST TO COAST UFO OR BIGFOOT STORY---WE PIECED THE THREAT TOGETHER YEARS AGO WHILE EVERYONE WAS RUNNING AROUND LIVING IT UP ON DRUGS AND STUPID BEHAVIOR. WHILE YOU SLEPT, THE ELITISTS HAD THEIR SUMMIT CONFERENCES-AND THEIR AGENDA IS TO CRUSH THE MIDDLE CLASS BY 2011---AS MICHAEL CORLEONE SAID "THEY WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THIS NEW YEAR-ALL FAMILY BUSINESS OF PAST 700 YEARS WILL BE SETTLED"! WE PLAN TO SHAVE AWAY ALL SYMPATHY AND LOYALTY TO THESE ELITISTS-THEY WILL HAVE NO ARMIES-AND THE ELITE 2 MILLION UTOPIANS WHO PLANNED TO RULE A BIG PLANET WILL SERVE A VERY LONG PRISON SENTENCE.THE POLITICIANS NO LONGER REPRESENT YOU-SO WHY NOT THROW THEM OUT THE WINDOWS WITH THE OTHER VIPERS?! WE DO NOT SPEAK REVOLUTION WITH ANY TREPIDATION-IT IS THE RECTIFICATION OF POLICIES THAT JUST DO NOT SERVE THE "WE THE PEOPLE" ANYMORE! YOU CAN SAY IT, AND EVEN FIGHT FOR IT---IT IS AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE-IT FORMED OUR NATION, WHEN THEY STOP RESPECTING LIFE-WE TAKE AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO DICTATE,
