The Anatomy of Politics Reaches the Anatomy of Humans

Rahm Emanuel's bioethicist brother suggests government intervene in eating habits

It’s very interesting to watch how something so everyday suddenly becomes political.

First the First Lady says fat people are a National Security Risk and then the paid off “experts” agree (wonder which of those will end up in an appointment)…. Now they say 'Heavier people' are bad for the economy.

The drumbeat continues to turn the population AGAINST a segment of society – any segment will do. Smokers were the last decade, now fatty’s are the new decade.

Why, you ask? So they can tax it. If it moves, if it doesn’t move, or if it even exists - tax it! And along the way, we will probably hear some murder defenses which purport some creep killed some fatty because he was a drain on his welfare check.

Do they really not realize how damaging these campaigns against a singled out segment of society will be to the not so stable of our nation? Sure they do, they don’t care.

So tell me, oh ye progressive governmental purveyors of destruction, which is it? Are fatty’s a threat to National Security or to the Economy? Both, you say? How convenient for you! All that is wrong with the nation is just a problem of fatty’s. Not politicians seeking a career, not progressives seeking the takeover of America and putting into place bigger PROHIBITIONS (which in case you didn’t know is the key to progressive politics….it’s not about “moving forward” - it is strictly about “moving backwards” into taxing everything and taking things away – an easier way to remember it is Progressives = Prohibition).

But No. It is all the fatty’s fault. How else can you tax it? How sick are the politicians of this nation, really? Would seem to me that fat people are just fine where they are…it’s the progressives who are the threat.

I'm Tired

Every single day... My job is to aggregate the news, for about 300,000 readers every day of the week.

It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck on the Obama Team to switching the channel to the three stooges on the Republican side.

Will they ever learn that we get it?

We get their lies and their half truths.

We know they are wagging the dog.

We see right through them.

I don’t think so. But does that really matter in the grand scheme of things?

Sarkozy’s turning right when we turn left. Russia’s fighting Putin’s last gasp for power, while Britain is sticking their finger up their nose, and the terrorists are keeping us in chains.

Enough.

Obama, either lead or get off the freaking pot.

Prime Minister Brown, you suck.

China, take your dreams of world domination, AND your money and go home.

I’m tired. I’m tired of the political posturing and the BS.

We all know that freedom reigns. So either you get it or you don’t, but leave us alone.

We don’t want your Sharia laws. We are more than you. You can’t win.

We don’t want your socialism. We are more than you. You can’t win.

We can fix the economy, if you will get out of our way.

We can fix the country when you get out of our way.

We don’t want your affirmative action.

We want to be citizens of the UNITED STATES. United. Not hearing that we are haters because we don’t want government run healthcare or the third freaking debt ceiling increase in as many months.

We are Americans.

We know how to industrialize.

We know how to capitalize and we know how to freaking grow the GDP.

So move on with your rhetoric, because WE ARE DONE.

You suck.

We don’t.

We are free people.

You can’t take that away. We won’t let you.

Go back and run for mayor of Chicago, BO, with your “retarded” totally non-PC buddy, faux Chief of Staff Rahmbo, you freaking bow-crazy, big-eared dumbo. It is the job you should’ve gotten. Not freaking Annihilator in Chief.

America is done.

We will not serve you, regardless of whether the loonies from bollywood do.
We will not serve you. Regardless of the amount of groveling you do.
We will not serve you.
We will not work for you to take our money and redistribute it to the world.
We will not serve you.

When Enough is Never Enough For the Prognazi

A friend and fellow blogger Frank Hill from Telemachus Leaps sent me this link today for my daily email. (Yes, I eblog way more than I blog)

Thanks Frank, a great site!

I found it shocking, sick, greedy, and totally not cool.

Really folks, we haven't even seen the Bush Tax Cuts removed yet, or whatever damage we will see through the new policies, cap and tax and the dreaded Granny Kill Bill from Obamacare.

This regime is not progressive alone, they are Prognazi's all.

Tax Burden of Top 1% Now Exceeds That of Bottom 95%

by Scott A. Hodge


Newly released data from the IRS clearly debunks the conventional Beltway rhetoric that the "rich" are not paying their fair share of taxes.

Indeed, the IRS data shows that in 2007—the most recent data available—the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 40.4 percent of the total income taxes collected by the federal government. This is the highest percentage in modern history. By contrast, the top 1 percent paid 24.8 percent of the income tax burden in 1987, the year following the 1986 tax reform act.

Remarkably, the share of the tax burden borne by the top 1 percent now exceeds the share paid by the bottom 95 percent of taxpayers combined. In 2007, the bottom 95 percent paid 39.4 percent of the income tax burden. This is down from the 58 percent of the total income tax burden they paid twenty years ago.

To put this in perspective, the top 1 percent is comprised of just 1.4 million taxpayers and they pay a larger share of the income tax burden now than the bottom 134 million taxpayers combined.

Some in Washington say the tax system is still not progressive enough. However, the recent IRS data bolsters the findings of an OECD study released last year showing that the U.S.—not France or Sweden—has the most progressive income tax system among OECD nations. We rely more heavily on the top 10 percent of taxpayers than does any nation and our poor people have the lowest tax burden of those in any nation.

We are definitely overdue for some honesty in the debate over the progressivity of the nation's tax burden before lawmakers enact any new taxes to pay for expanded health care.

Where Today’s Problems Began, Stage One of Current History

Former President Woodrow Wilson said in 1919,

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. We are no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

I will tell you more about President Wilson in another blog, but this guy is exactly why we are where we are today and he was a "high socialist". He was the first elected Progressive. In case you don’t know, the Progressive party ushered in Prohibition! You know – the law that outlawed “spirits” (alcohol). That’s also Obama’s party, although he didn’t really say so until AFTER the election. Watch your beer folks - although Obama's gig seems to be more about cigarettes – the hypocrite…but I digress…

I am going to start from the beginning. If I start from the end, I only get half the picture. At the very least, it is a distorted view and it doesn’t give me a way to answer the questions well enough to make sure that people cannot continue to mislead me. Whether my broker, my banker, a congressperson or the president.

So what happened to America? What does it all mean and how do you put it together? It’s tough unless you have a economics/history degree. It’s actually really just common sense when you break it down, but the breaking down is not easy. I tried to break the concepts down to make it considerably easier for you. Mainly I did so because I am concerned that if we don’t get it soon, we are going to be in a big lot of trouble that we cannot even fathom now.

There are basically two sides of the fence, statist ideology and the gold specie which we will get into in a later blog, but whose definitions are:

Statism - The practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.

Specie – means simply the belief in coin, money in the form of coins (as opposed to paper money or bullion) and comes from phrase in specie "in the real or actual form" within a society. Specie can also be related to the Labor of peoples, which is why it was mandatory that Act 1 of the scheme, of which I am about to tell you be played out first.

As you can easily see, one has a doctrine, a belief system attached and the other is based in actuality of a unit of trade.

I have to give a shout out to my senior year Government teacher, Mr. Hurncane. We did not learn just the basics in that class. We broke out the constitution, we broke it down line by line, we learned what the President thought after their terms (when possible) and we learned the forces that shaped the subsequent amendments. So much, I do not remember, but it is amazing that so much is coming back to me as I am watching what is going on in this country. He had a big hand in shaping my life, made me passionate about protecting our freedoms, and made it a lifelong love affair of all things liberty.

My recent education in order to answer the basic question...what in the hell is going on... taught me a few things I knew but didn’t know - if you get my drift. I learned that it all got its start back in 1913 under Pres. Woodrow Wilson, with a "sky is falling" state of fear created by JP Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Paul Warburg. These three private bankers worked with Wilson (a past Princeton professor) that only bankers had the answer and together they could rule the world one day if he would only pass two pieces of legislation.

Led by McAdoo, the then Secretary Treasurer, we had a ‘sky is falling’ announcement to the Citizens very similar to first Paulson and now Geithner’s today. Let's call it a "created" crisis. Between Wilson and McAdoo, they pressured Congress to pass the 16th Amendment - without ratification of a sufficient number of States, I might add. In case you don’t know which Amendment that is, it is the Amendment that says we have to pay an "Income" Tax.

An interesting side note I uncovered here is that in 2003, a US District Court Judge by the name of James Fox wrote opinion in a Tax Case that said,

“If you examine the 16th amendment carefully, you will find that a sufficient number of States never ratified that Amendment”.

Are we to assume this is still the case, since it was as late as 2003 that this opinion was written? That in reality, there is no “ratified” Amendment 16? Does that mean that current law says not enough States passed the Amendment - effectively meaning that we really do not have to pay Income Tax?

It would at least now appear that is true of most of Obama’s cabinet members, anyway…. Alas, that’s a whole other ball of wax, now isn’t it? I’m not going to go into that, but will leave it to someone else.

As to our history lesson though, Congress passed an Amendment that had been ruled unconstitutional just a few short years prior, by the Supreme Court. It appears that after lying to the public - stating that it had been ratified, and subsequently imposing such tax, they summarily saddled every working man and woman with a new law they weren’t expecting in the way of “Income” Tax.

Then we had the next big blow that same year (beginning to sound familar?), the Bankers helped McAdoo and Wilson with a second bill, this one introduced to Congress in the middle of that year’s Christmas holiday break when most of the House was not present.

Now I don’t know how much you and yours pay attention to the passing of legislation, but that’s dirty politics right there. To hold a vote that important without the individuals that had been elected to represent the rights of their constituents, and therefore were listed as “not present”, is just. plain. wrong.!

As a result of that dirty vote though, the House proceeded to ram through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. That vote effectively began, in large measure, the adoption of the Statist Ideology and began the move away from the Gold Specie. It developed a mixed money system and they did so because the Bankers felt that they could do a much better job than we could or the majority of the people we elected could do. Not really, that’s just what they said; actually, they just wanted control.

That act was and remains the largest elephant (of several) in the room, this isn’t just an 8000 lb elephant, this thing still fills the house floor and is now so bloated it takes up all the space available between the Capital and Wall Street.

So what is the Federal Reserve Board Act?

Many believe the Federal Reserve Board Act is an unconstitutional act. They are probably more right than wrong. The act created a centralized banking system controlled by an independent board of bankers. This board, the Federal Reserve, gave the broad power to perform such central banking functions as: determining and harmonizing discount rates, defining eligible paper, and controlling the issue of notes (aka “money”).

In other words, they are private bankers who control the money, the supply of money – and in still clearer words, the dips, and rises in the economy. They are not a "Federal" anything!

The discount rate is the interest rate charged to commercial banks and other depository institutions on loans they receive from their regional Federal Reserve Bank's lending facility--the discount window. With three types, primary, secondary and seasonal credit, each with its own rate, overnight loans, shortfall loans and less than stellar backed loans. This also allowed a “mixed Gold Standard” meaning that even though Gold remained the backing and a backdrop of support for money, the “Fed” could and did devalue said money by the printing of more money when so desired by raising or lowering the price of Gold or manufacturing money to purchase government securities (bonds, T Bills, etc).

They passed this off as a “good thing” for the American public. Now the very unfederal Fed could issue and print dollar 'notes' at will based on existing gold stores or by buying your government issued bonds with Monopoly money that it then "loaned" to the American Government. The American Government had to pay interest on that money, that the day before this bill was enacted, it already owned - and then turn around to pay interest to the very unfederal Federal Reserve.

You have to admit though; it is a sweetheart deal for the bankers! Admirable even - but I have to think that giving private bankers control over the issuing of money and the setting of interest could be very diabolical, indeed. In reality, it caused a nation that had virtually no inflation and no debt to become one of terrible inflation and way too much debt.

If we are to break it down into easy to understand terms, the true meaning of the establishment of the fed is simply to say that the government and its people no longer had control of their own money. The bankers seized control, and the government had to borrow money from the bankers for anything they needed, then turn right around and pay back that money, with interest, to finance itself...and the best part is that the bankers get to name the interest rate! Sweet!

This from a government that was relatively flush at the time in spite of the fact there were some Industrial hiccups and who had just passed the law that Americans would be taxed on the money they earn to feed their families. This is a very important piece of this whole deal: Hand in hand with the 16th Amendment the government forced fees on the people that the government collected from the sweat of the backs of worker in order to ensure they had enough to pay the interest on the loans – loans for money that yesterday THEY owned.

And the progressives want us to believe they are for the workers....right.

These banker “gentlemen” put us right back into ownership again in a midnight Christmas vote. We fought a war to overcome unreasonable taxation and to take our country away from the throne, and within a little over 125 years, they put us right back there again, only this time to secure votes.

Mayer Rothschild himself said somewhere around 1800 “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.” Mayer Rothschild was a private banker, born by the name of Bauer, Feb 23, 1744 –Sept 19, 1812. He was the founder of the Rothschild family banking empire that would become one of the most successful business families in history. In 2005, he was ranked 7th on the Forbes magazine list of the The Twenty Most Influential Businessmen Of All Time. The business magazine referred to him as a "founding father of international finance”. I would assume he knew wherefrom he spoke.

It was this law that created the nervousness of the early part of the century and in spite of the assurances of the Fed and the government, was the driving force in the Great Depression. We are there again folks. Do not doubt that.

The So Not Cool Bill Cram du jour - How Do You Go About Proving a Negative?

Obama is making a proposal announcement to Congress later this morning that if passed, will have two very negative and far-reaching effects on this country. He will propose Congress write a bill to raise taxes on corporations and literally change the way the courts view the presumption of innocence by going after US Citizens who put their money into off-shore, non reporting country banks. This tiny little sideline will seek to prosecute people who keep monies offshore through tax avoidance/cheat laws. He will also ask for provisions for 800 new IRS agents to fulfill this law. 800! I just love these one, two, three you’re out “bill cram du jour” punches, don’t you?

We will make it look good while we change the entire way our system works in the country and no one will be the wiser!

I am going to focus on that bigger point that will be hidden in this bill cram de jour, that little known bit of information wwwaaaaayyyyy at the bottom of the article that we won’t really catch in his spectacularly orated announcement. The second half of that bill I will call the “You are so screwed” amendment. To do that, I still have to attack the first premise of the bill in the hopes that enough of the right people get a hold of this to stop the train before it gets rolling.

Under the guise of “making the rich corporations pay” what will end up being a measly $210 Billion over 10 years (vs. the very real $787 Billion Stimulus Package slated to be spent over the next two years), Obama is going to use this bill cram du jour to “do an AIG” on the American people once again. He’s going to highlight the terrible nature of a company trying to make enough money to survive our country’s outrageous tax consequences to be able to employ folks. Then he is going to make a big to do about those terrible rich people who use non-reporting country’s banking systems to “circumvent” tax laws, “cheat” the poor people. What he won’t say is that while he is at it, he is going to slip in the teeny-tiny little change to our presumption of innocence clause, namely changing it to a presumption of guilt clause that says we will have to prove our innocence!

Are you hearing me? You Mr. “Charged with Theft” or Mrs. “Didn’t Pay My Taxes on Time”. You will, if this bill passes, be presumed guilty, and have to find a way to prove your innocence.

If you think this will only affect tax law, you are sorely mistaken. Once that door is open, once a case is upheld, that CASE LAW will be what permeates every other smart prosecutor’s case building efforts, in all courtrooms, at all levels - tax, civil and criminal.

It only takes one case.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each one of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
- Robert F. Kennedy

This announcement will be to try to get the American Public spun up once again about the “rich” getting “richer”, even as it applies to businesses who are the ones who do the employing. I’m not going to belabor this point mainly because there is nothing to labor over. It is a proven fact: businesses that are forced to pay higher taxes in America do three things - move more jobs or their entire company overseas, raise the price of goods to Americans (pass through), and lay off those Americans who are the ones doing the jobs that provide the businesses a loophole to begin with. You can argue those points, but you’ll sound rather dense because you can’t hide from those facts.

If you are a corporation, or you are a defense, business, tax lawyer, or judge, we are counting on you. Somehow, you must get to the media who tingles up their legs every time the orator utters an “uh”, you must promise no campaign contributions to anyone on the left if this bill goes through and you must let the money you have amassed work for you on this one. Frame the argument in a way everyone can understand. You aren’t big business people, rich, or attorneys for nothing, and I would say this is more important to be on the side of right rather than on the side of populous and shut Obama down on this one. You have good brains. Use them! They aren’t listening to the masses anymore, we will back you and fight like hell, but you are the ones on the front lines on this one.

Will someone please be big enough to stand up to set this control freak President down! And Jack Kemp, if you can hear me, please mention this one to Jesus while you are making introductions!
