The Fiscal Cliff Is A Scam!

The fiscal cliff is a scam!  Do not worry about it!  Go on having a great Christmas vacation with your families. Ignore the media!

The fiscal cliff is more propaganda to keep us in fear and blaming each other for who we put in office.  Who are we in debt to?  What is this interest the great US of flippin A can not even afford to pay off?

One side wants to tax the rich (which would include the bankers and special interests) and the other side wants to cut public programs (aka austerity measures, aka all the bullshit happening in Europe right now that US media won't televise and report).

Do not worry if you think I sound one-sided for I think both sides are of our two-party system fabricate lies to maintain the status quo.  They both work for the Federal Reserve, who without Congress, make their own bail outs to banks and our expense.  Politicians exist not because we vote them into office, but because Wall Street feeds them with money and purpose.  Our great Presidents in the past warned us about this.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, 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

"If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations." - Andrew Jackson

"The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest.  Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity." - Abraham  Lincoln

"Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to…provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands." - Theodore Roosevelt

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson" - Franklin D. Roosevelt 

So our taxes will jump beginning next week.  We will continue to grow angry with each other, and further disappointed with our elected politicians.  The media will continue to tell us who we should be angry at, but we must wake up and stop yelling about who started what war and who supports what social program.  We must stop putting a band-aid on an outdated machine, created 100 years ago and blowing off steam today.  We must build a new machine.  We must re-install a new Monetary System.  We should not be blamed for the mistakes of the elite globalists.  Why do we have to suffer?

Abolish the Federal Reserve and we the people should be printing our own money at no interest.  Why would we ever want to pay ourselves back plus interest that can't mathematically even make sense and exist?  Print a buck, owe ourselves back a buck ten.  Yeah that sounds about right.  We're smart!  The Federal Reserve is a perpetual debt machine.  As long as they print the money, our debt will go up.

Why does it matter that I care?  It is because I live here and I am not only fed up with my own complaints, but I am also sick of watching people suffer and complain themselves.  I am sick of the media brainwashing everyone I have ever met in my life.  It is time to become more critical thinkers.  The politicians are not going to fix this mess for us!  They are only there to serve the interests of the banks.  We the people have to fix this.

I do not know if this is a shout for protest but I do know that I do not have to accept that life is about serving the interests of the rich and that I should shut up and deal with it.  We all have it good, but we all suffer to have it this way.  Family members go to war, taxes and inflation rises, homes foreclose, jobs are shipped.  If you do not realize you do something each day that is unjust then you are what they want in a citizen. 

And now to put things in a comical yet true perspective, the late great Mr. George Carlin: 

Do We Know What's Really Going On?

Lisbon, Portugal - September 29, 2012

Before I briefly dive into our current economic situation, allow me to define Capitalism and Democracy.

Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

If I was to take a few key words out of these two definitions and put them in a sort of mathematical order, I would get something like this:

system   -   private owners   -   eligible members   -   whole population   -   profit 

Let me define another word.

Corporatocracy is a term used to suggest an economic and political system is controlled by corporations or corporate interests.  It is generally pejorative.

Does this sound more like our current economic situation?  Could the United States be next in line for extreme austerity measures?

Austerity in a country is when the government cuts their deficit by reducing benefits and public services.  Sounds a lot like what Governor Mitt Romney and the Republican Party wants to do in 2013 (another rant for another day).  The Occupy Movement that started in September of 2011 and is still continuing to protest today believe we need to change our economic structure to be more fair.  They were partially inspired by the Arab Spring, who wanted to move out of dictatorship and into democracy.  But is that what we have today?  Do we have a true democracy?

Today, tens of thousands of Spaniards and Portuguese rallied in the streets of Madrid and Lisbon to protest against tax hikes, government spending cuts, and the highest unemployment rate among the 17 nations that use the euro currency.  They want to fire their conservative governments.  The people suffer from the bailouts and budget cuts while the governments do what they can to please the European Union, which is nothing more than a world bank, founded by the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC).

Today the EU operates through independent institutions such as the European Commission, European Parliament, and the European Central Bank.  Don't be fooled to believe that actual European governments control the bank and profit from the interest.  Just like our own Federal Reserve Bank, it is privately operated and owned by the central banks and its shareholders. 

Banks are businesses and are on the top of the pyramid in a Capitalist society.  And a business MUST make profit to stay afloat.  We can go over exactly when these central banks made deals with world governments another time, but for now know this:  OUR SYSTEM IS BROKEN.  

The rich are getting richer.  The rest of us are becoming poor.  It's a catch-22 for corporations.  They profit from the rapid growth of technology and the internet, yet as more of the world wakes up due to fast communication, the corporations will evidently have to change their ways.  First, they need to stay out of government!  They need to stay out of our resource management!  They need to stay out of our infrastructure and healthcare decisions.  Most importantly, they need to not be the final judges of human rights.  The fight won't stop and will get more intense until we achieve our goals and fix the system ruled by the elite.

OCCUPY PORTUGAL! OCCUPY SPAIN! OCCUPY WALL STREET! OCCUPY EARTH!
