Do you find it odd that the Washington "insiders" believe The Holy Bible where it states "the poor will always be with us", yet, they do not believe it where it states "Defraud not", "...pay a man his wages on that day", and "do not charge usury [interest]?" Such selective reasoning has led to the exclusion of the long-term and chronically unemployed from the economic health indices. Yet, until the true unemployment rates are included within the economic indices formulae, the results will be slanted and biased and the results diabolical.
Our economy is in danger. The entire nation is in danger of increasing infiltration by The New World Order at the hands of well-intentioned, yet, insufficiently informed liberals and moderates.
It all started in 1933. The New Order [Time-Life Book], Hitler's step-by-step plan to socialize, then nationalize Germany, Europe, and ultimately the world, was beginning to display it's venom to an unsuspecting public. Fast forward to the United Nations, another well-intentioned vehicle for the distribution of whatever NAZI influences remained following World War II. The United States Government allowed "diplomatic immunities" and later, dual citizenships, such that foreign persons, entities and governments could own American real estate and companies.
The United States Government later abandoned it's Buy American philosophy. American businesses began flocking out of the country in search of "slave" labor. Thus the shoe, textile and steel industries darted abroad, followed by a wide variety of other manufacturers.
In the mid-1980's, rumors of a Free Trade Agreement spawned a massive behind-the-scenes exodus plan by American businesses, in order to take advantage of the extremely low wages being paid abroad. NAFTA was passed in an effort to afford American businesses the opportunity to sell their wares within formerly protected foreign lands, and vice versa.
In 1990, a particular United Nations Resolution [Number 435], passed by Congress and signed into law by George Bush Senior, gave to "any foreign group, armed or unarmed, uniformed or un-uniformed, the right to enter into any American home, without warrant, and confiscate all guns, without recourse in any court of law, including the World Court" [C-Span, January 1990]. Naturally, this is only one of a series of Resolutions which automatically undermined the sovereignty of, and thus, effectively dismantled, the United States of America. Yet, it is illustrative of the direction of that which George Bush Senior that year called "The New World Order". The back-lash that year led to the Government calling the New World Order, instead, "International Government."
The banking industry lobbyists succeeded in convincing the United States Congress, as well as a variety of foreign governments, to de-regulate the banking industry. Interest rates, which had been stationary below 19% (because 20% used to be considered loan-sharking Mafia-style by the United States Government), were now increasing with each late payment to 22%, then, 29%, 33%, 44%, 104+%, et caetera, in addition to late fees and other value added fees. "Buybacks" on home mortgages became a fancy term for renting your own home for life, from the bank. "Adjustable Interest Rates" became common and with the decreasing wages and jobs resulting from NAFTA, cost-prohibitive.
Now, the banking industry lobbyists are attempting to convince Congress and W. that bailing them out rather than establishing reasonable interest rates, is wise. However, the interest rates which they were charging were thin air until paid. They had no intrinsic value for they had no logical basis, so why should Congress pay for them? The companies loaned in order to sell the loans. No corporate president wanted to purchase at the high end of the rate scale. Why should the Government? The business owners are not stupid. They know that it is all a scam. Does Congress? And if not, why not?
This year, French President Nicolas Sarkozy spoke before the United Nations, lauding "The New World Order". Both candidates are naively following behind like school-yard puppies.
Americans realize that they cannot afford ANY more tax increases, wage decreases, interest increases, job losses, price increases, and corporate bailouts. The Washington bureaucrats need to cease relying upon banking lobbyists for their information and rely rather upon good old-fashioned common sense - for a change. We want America back!
