My Two Cents....

Well now it has been awhile since I have written for my blog. There has been a lot going on in our country the past few months. I figured I would just throw my two cents in there for now.This blog may be all over the place and not organized very well, but I'm just letting my fingers do the typing as the thoughts come out of my head. So sit back, strap yourself in, and hold on!

When President Obama was campaigning he promised to bring "change" to Washington. How can someone bring change when all they do is hire advisors and career politicians that were part of other administrations? There is no change in Washington! It is still the same old rhetoric coming from the mouths of OUR elected officials.

For example, let us take a look at Senator Chris Dodd (Democrat from Connecticut). He denied "having anything to do with crafting language in the stimulus bill that allowed bailed-out insurance giant American International Group to keep its bonuses, Sen. Christopher Dodd admitted that he and the Treasury Department were responsible for the loophole."(Chris Dodd)

As it turns out Sen. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, crafted the loophole (with the help of a Treasury Official) that allowed the executives at AIG to receive bonuses totaling $165 MILLION. How are we to trust our elected officials when they blatantly lie to the American people on one day and then turn around and say "oh yeah that was me." The fact of the matter is the Obama administration alongside the Treasury Department wanted this loophole in the stimulus package.

Just take a look at the article in the link above. Chris Dodd states that his comments were "misconstrued" when he said he had nothing to do with the language in the stimulus package.

What kind of values are we teaching our future leaders when current officials are able to lie right in the face of the American people. This goes far beyond any party alliances. I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican. If you are an American then you should be ashamed of these elected officials that we put into office.

The entire stimulus package is a complete joke. I am not an economist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know a little bit about capitalism.

Capitalism: an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, esp. as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth.

Last time I checked in a capitalistic society the government did not interfere in how the companies were run. I understand that we had companies fail due to the deregulation of the banking industry. The fact that some of these companies failed was detrimental to the economy and to everyone that lost their jobs. However, that is the beauty of capitalism. If you run the company the right way you may not "break the bank", but you will still have a chance to be successful.

One of the main reasons of the financial collapse is because Bill Clinton signed into law the "(Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) on November 12, 1999. This repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 which "prohibited a bank from offering investment, commercial banking, and insurance services."(Glass-Steagall Act)

If these companies fail then so be it. Do you think if you owned a business and had losses in every single quarter for a year that the government would bail you out? They would more than likely laugh at you and tell you that you should of run your business better. The fact that we lived in the "lap of luxury" for so many years as the stock market kept on climbing and then one day we wake up and our 401 K has taken a nose dive is why we are upset. Did you think this could continue? There was no way a market can sustain that growth for that long. As of right now the market is trying to correct itself from all of the crap that these crooks did. Bernie Madoff anyone? (Don't get me started on him...SEC new about him back in the 90's and did NOTHING!)

Do I think that government should regulate corporations? To an extent yes they should. The sad part is a good portion of the politicians have a vested interest in many of these companies. So when the companies were doing very well they turned a blind eye their way and said continue on. Now that it is affecting millions of Americans the politicians want to pretend they have our best interest at heart. I call BULLSHIT! 

The only way that we will be able to bring change to Washington is if we got rid of EVERY SINGLE politician that is in office right now. We should not allow "career politicians" such as Dick Cheney. Every politician no matter what they tell us has their own agenda. Take a long look at Obama's administration. Take a look at George W. Bush's administration...Hell take a look at every president's administration going back to Ronald Reagan. They all have held positions in different administrations implementing their agendas at their will.(This calls for a completely new blog that I will need to get to at a later date.)

I will leave you with a quote by one of the greatest presidents of our country:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)

3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

Missing In Action

I should get back to writing here in a couple of days. Things have been a bit hectic as of late.......stay tuned....

While you were asleep......

....Armed robber barons raided your home and stripped you of all your belongings except for a blue jumpsuit with your social security number on the back. Ohhh and while you were asleep they implanted you with a tiny microchip. Supposedly it has your "vital" information on it. Don't worry though your friend, Big Brother, has your best interest in mind. He will look out for you, protect you from the boogey man, and tell you how "free" you are. They also installed nifty little cameras all around the city so they can keep an eye out on you, I mean for you. They'll be able to catch the boogey man now, or perhaps Osama Bin Laden....Yes my friend you took the blue pill and just fell asleep at the wheel. I hate to be the one to break it to you but we're all F*CKED!.....

ATTENTION: To those that read this you may just think I am crazy. I am not crazy! I am not a conspiracy NUT! I am a human being that is very concerned as to where WE, as a nation, are headed. It's common sense folks. They want us to beleive everything is alright so that when the perverbial shit does actually hit the fan it will hit so fast we won't be able to say a GOD DAMN THING!. Read it folks! Try and grasp what I am saying! Everything is NOT alright! We are heading into a time that can either save humanity or destroy it... What ending do you want?

This is what goes on in my head day in and day out. I'm not going to use any sources in what I say. These are just my thoughts thrown out there on stuff that I have read, watched, and done research on.

Let's take the worst case senario that has us becoming the North American Union. Gone is our sovreignty! Gone is our Constituion! Gone is our Bill of Rights! Is this something that you want? Are you to busy consuming as much as you can and thinking that "everything" is alright, that "they" (our "elected" leaders) have our best interest in mind. It's a basic thing people.... Survival of the fittest my friends! The power elite will damn make sure that THEY are the ones that survive.

When we do become the North American Union we will, from that point on no longer be the United States of America! We will have destroyed everything that our fore fathers fought for. It is basically like spitting on George Washington's grave! The things that are happening in OUR own country right now would be considering treason in most countries. Our "elected" leaders will tell you that it is all in the name of "security" and to keep America "free".

Not to long ago our "elected" officials tried to IMPEACH a President for lying about having "sexual realtions" with a staffer. How come we don't have IMPEACHMENT hearings for a President that LIED us into a war with no end. How come we don't have IMPEACHMENT hearings for a President that signed executive orders basically abolishing the checks and balances of our own government. How come Dick Cheney was not found guilty of anything in regards to the CIA operative leak? The current administration has committed acts of TREASON! They have committed HIGH CRIMES! And yet nothing is done. We, as citizens, have allowed this to continue!

Come on now people! WAKE THE FUCK UP! Ask your "elected" official:
WHY the rest of the world hates us?
WHY we don't take care of our own problems on our own soil?
WHY we must play "world police"?
How we have enough money to spend over $500 BILLION dollars
on a war in a far away place?

And yet we cannot have health care.(Don't go running your mouth to me about how bad socialized healthcare would be. I didn't say that was the answer.) Our social security fund is running out.
Our infrastructure (roads, highways, bridges, etc.) are falling apart.

Ask your "elected" official:
WHY our deficit is at an all time high with no end in site?
WHY the United States economy is about to crash?
WHY the DOLLAR is worth CRAP?
And lastly ask your "elected" official
What do they think about the North American Union?

It is not to late people! We all can still come together! It's not a matter of who you believe in. Republican or Democrat. Cause in the end party alliance is NOT going to mattter when you are running out of food. Or you cannot afford a loaf of bread. Or a gallon of milk. We all must band together and learn how to be SELF-SUFFICIENT. Not depend on mass produced goods. It is time that we realize that THEY do not have our best interest in mind!

Wake up or you will be assimilated!

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
