A
Follow-up to Last Week's Commentary
Last
week for the July fourth holiday break, I published a warning stating
that unless the American people organize and begin a campaign of
passive resistance against the twin evils of Oligarchic capitalism
and the Deep State that has enslaved us all (yes, I mean past tense),
both ourselves and our children, plus and their children will find
ourselves permanently enslaved. We will not be enslaved by the
government because the government is little more than an arm of law
enforcement whose paymasters are the mega-rich elite. And it is this
Bilderberger elite who controls all the banking, which in turn funds
the world's economies, who have hoarded 99% of the world's wealth,
leaving us to scrap and skirmish for the remaining 1% of the
leftovers. It is the super-rich elites who are the government's
paymasters. It is with that thought in mind that I am posting this
supplemental to last week's message, which you can find here
or here.
As you can see, this is an excerpt from my first book, which I
published back in 2011. It is now in its third edition, which you can
get on Amazon by clicking here.
The
Battle Cry of the American People
When
in the course of current events the constituency of the United States
finds itself oppressed and hemmed in by that which governs us, and
when the working people of this great country which I love so much
finds itself with its backs against the wall due to circumstances and
situations which are beyond our control, it naturally becomes the
patriotic duty of every concerned American to stand up to and to
oppose that which suppresses and restricts the God-given freedoms
spelled out in our US Constitution. Moreover, we find ourselves
forced to draw a line in the sand that guarantees the health, wealth
and prosperity of us all against the ruling elites and their
associates and family members, who are the real force behind all
government funding including police, military and intelligence
gathering. As peaceful and law-abiding citizens, we have been
governed by the rule of law which is summarized in a document that
working Americans continue to hold in highest esteem, the
Constitution of the United States, in keeping with the time-honored
traditions passed down to us by our founding fathers. But lately our
sacred Constitution has been bastardized and prostituted not only by
those in power within the federal government, but more directly by
the armies of corporate lobbyists who have invaded Washington and
seized control of our executive, legislative and judicial branches of
government, for the sole express purpose of engineering a bloodless
coup de etat that
is being carried out not by bullets but by vast sums of money that
are at once immoral, illegal, and a veritable avalanche of green and
greedy corruption. The sole express purpose of this financial warfare
is to forcibly liquidate the middle and working classes in this great
country of ours. This is being done deliberately and with sinister
calculation by the wealthiest Americans from Wall Street to a myriad
of corporate boardrooms all across America, orchestrated by the
unconstitutional Federal Reserve and its minions, for the sole
express purpose of focusing and concentrating all available wealth
into the top 1% of income earners and big business owners all across
America. In fact, I further submit and assert that this is all being
done at the expense of the US middle and working classes, the result
of which is to force an ever-increasing number of working Americans
from all walks of life into ever-increasing poverty from which there
is no escape.
With
mass unemployment, a veritable storm of foreclosures, increasingly
unaffordable health care, and higher education rapidly becoming ever
further out of reach for the US middle class and particularly for the
poor and minorities, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the
middle class and working people here in the good old USA finds
themselves surrounded and besieged by an army of the usurpers of
power in our country. As a direct result more and more working
Americans, the people who are the backbone of the US economy, are
forced into moving in with friends, family members and even strangers
to stave off what would otherwise be a pandemic outbreak of
homelessness and despair. And it's all because people can't find
jobs.
In
point of fact, the are now more college-educated people living in
homeless shelters, under bridges or in their cars – if they are
lucky enough to still own a vehicle – than at any other time since
the Great Depression of the 1930's. And that is a social injustice
and a moral outrage tantamount to class warfare! Indeed, the
circumstances and situations that the middle and working classes in
the US find themselves today are a series of gross social and
economic injustices that demands a sharply
focused and well-coordinated response
from
the entire populace, a rebuttal
and decisive counterattack
designed and intended to right, correct and re-balance US political
power back into the hands of the overwhelming majority of American
citizens to whom it rightfully belongs. There can be no doubt that
class warfare has been declared in the US, perpetrated by the wealthy
against the middle and working classes, for the sole express purpose
of eliminating from society the constitutional majority of working
Americans, with the end result being the complete and merciless
liquidation of middle and working class wealth, general prosperity,
and even our health. This has been accomplished by the largest
transfer of wealth in all of human history, and it has been
manifested in four different ways.
First,
the employment of American workers has been decimated by closing down
manufacturing facilities and shipping jobs overseas to the third
world for pennies on the dollar. The result of this has been mass
unemployment of many millions of American workers, and those jobs in
the American manufacturing sector which was once the world's largest,
and whose direct result was victory in World War Two, are very likely
to never return. One direct effect this has had is the gradual
elimination of labor unions in this country, and the US labor
movement is now on life support as a result. All the wages of the
blue collar sector of the US economy are now redirected into the
pockets of the top 1% of the American populace in terms of net
wealth, not to mention the benefits and retirement pensions of these
same people who made these corporations into the mega-companies that
they are today.
Second,
the retirement savings of the middle and working classes have been
severely compromised or even liquidated altogether by the crooked and
devious manipulations of Wall Street bankers, the World Bank and the
IMF, plus all the market speculators, hedge fund managers and
corporate boards of directors who engineered the largest swindle in
human history back in 2008. This criminal act resulted in the US
government bailout known as TARP, an $850 billion bank robbery of the
US Treasury conceived and carried out by the same Ponzi schemers who
ran the US economy into the ground in the first place, with the
Federal Reserve conveniently stepping up with a solution at just the
right moment. The cost of this bailout has been put on the backs of
the middle and working classes, their children and grandchildren, and
has generated a federal government budget deficit that has exceeded
$20 trillion dollars as I write this, a staggering sum that threatens
to bankrupt the country and destroy the formerly good credit rating
of the United States.
As a
matter of fact, in only one generation our great country that I love
so much has been transformed from the world's greatest lender to its
greatest borrower, with the majority of this debt being financed by
China and Japan. One of these days China is going to get tired of
lending us money and will at that point call in the debt, which
America will likely not be able to repay, particularly if China
refuses to accept US dollars as a form of repayment – which is
entirely possible. If the value of the dollar were to collapse for
any reason, that is exactly what would occur. I shudder to think of
what would happen next, with China taking large chunks of American
collateral to satisfy this crushing debt load. This could even lead
to Chinese troops on our western shores occupying whole cities in a
worst case scenario. The final collapse of the US economy would
inevitably follow, descending into another American civil war that
will make the current conflicts in Syria, Egypt, Yemen and Libya look
like a day care center in comparison.
Third,
the largest transfer of wealth in human history is being enforced by
runaway prices for food, utilities, housing and transportation, not
to mention tuition for higher education. These tuition increases are
being deliberately engineered by wealthy elitists for the sole
express purpose of putting higher education financially out of reach
for an increasing majority of Americans. And those who do make it
into colleges or universities are finding themselves buried under an
overwhelming pile of student loans, some of which are so huge that
they end up well into six figures, larger even than some home
mortgages. Some of these student loans are so enormous that an
increasing number of graduates find themselves moving back in with
their parents, or sharing living quarters with friends and
acquaintances, when they finally do graduate. These same hard-working
graduates are now increasingly finding that they can't find suitable
employment upon graduation, or are winding up in menial jobs that pay
so poorly they can't repay their student loans. This ruins their
credit ratings, making it even harder for them to find employment.
What good is a four-year degree if you wind up flipping hamburgers,
selling shoes or digging ditches? Meanwhile, the best jobs, the best
educations, and the best incomes are reserved for the top 1% wealthy
and their families.
Fourth,
the largest transfer of wealth in human history is being further
reinforced by a health care system that has become so outrageously
expensive that over 24 million Americans can no longer afford health
insurance as I write this. An increasing percentage of working
Americans are one accident or catastrophic illness away from
bankruptcy, and all without remedy, even with Obama-care in force.
Worse still, the average cost of medical care for US senior citizens
from the time they retire until their death is $260,000.00 based
on a report published in Money magazine. As more and more US
workers find themselves unable to afford long-term health coverage,
an increasing number of people are putting off doctor and/or dental
visits and not refilling needed prescriptions for purely financial
reasons, and the physical and mental health of these hapless and
impoverished individuals slowly erodes away as a direct consequence.
There
are tens of millions of formerly middle class people just like me
all across the country who find themselves in similar circumstances
to varying degrees of severity. Many have not been as fortunate as
me. They have lost jobs or entire careers like I have, been forced
out into the street due to the ongoing epidemic of foreclosures
throughout America, had their cars repossessed leaving them with no
way to get to work assuming that they are lucky enough to still have
jobs, and are hounded by collection agencies for debts great and
small. Too many still have no access to health care except to show up
at the local emergency room with no way to pay the bill, putting them
even deeper into debt than they already are. They have watched their
pensions and their retirement savings evaporate due to market
manipulations by unscrupulous “financial managers” who earn
obscene bonuses whether they succeed or fail, and all at the expense
of their clients. Either that or they have spent their savings during
interminably lengthy periods of unemployment after their jobs were
downsized or out-sourced overseas to the third world, never to return
again.
The
same goes for the best health care, the nicest cars and boats and
even airplanes, not to mention the best retirement plans. All of this
and more are systematically being procured by the top 1% income
bracket at the expense of everybody else. It's steak for them and
beans for the rest of us, and the portions for the remaining 99% are
getting ever smaller each day. There is no question whatsoever that
class warfare has been declared by the rich, powerful and
well-connected, and all at the expense of over 99% of the rest of
America. I think it's time to fight back, and that is why I began
researching this topic back in 2010. My
books,
blogs and website
are the new voice
of protest and dissent
in middle America. It is not right-wing nor is it from the left, but
rather it is written from from the standpoint of middle America and
from the vantage point of the oppressed multitudes who are crying out
for relief and rescue from the perilous circumstances and
life-threatening situations that working Americans from all walks of
life find themselves in.
This
book is a wailing civil defense siren ringing out across the land
that I love. It is a warning buzzer on the basketball court of life
signifying that a new American team of endless depth is now taking
the court, sending the wealthy and powerful to the showers so that
the stench of corruption can be washed from them, since they so
desperately need it! It is the national anthem of true American
patriotism being played before the start of a baseball game signaling
that the new expansion team from middle America is about to take the
field. This book is an air raid siren sounding out across the land of
the rich and powerful as a warning that the middle and working class
counterattack is about to commence. (My next book, “Occupying
America: We Shall Overcome”,
takes up where the first one left off, and predicts mass civil unrest
in America in the near future.)
No more
will we stand and stare or sit and grumble about having our houses,
jobs, cars, savings, health, higher education and our retirements
forcibly taken away wholesale while an ever greater portion of
American wealth is concentrated into the hands of a small minority of
multimillionaires. It is time for the middle and working classes to
put our collective foot down and say “no more”! The time has
arrived for us to take back our country by any and all means
necessary. It is time for political power to be taken out of the
hands of corporate America and their invading hordes of lobbyists and
Wall Street bankers who would presume to take over our country by
means of economic warfare, and to place it back into the hands of “we
the people”, the true owners of this great country of ours. And we
will do so knowing that history and our founding fathers are on our
side, because they left us with a sacred document known as the
Constitution of the United States that guarantees us that right. Our
free speech and freedom of expression that are guaranteed under the
First Amendment, as well as our right to keep and bear arms and to
form militias that are guaranteed under the Second Amendment, will
not be compromised or trampled upon. We will demonstrate in the
streets, we will besiege government buildings, we will bombard our
congressmen and women with phone calls and emails, we will form new
political parties, we will organize and build new labor unions and
worker-owned cooperative businesses, we will blockade wealthy
neighborhoods, we will organize peaceful public events and
non-violent sit-ins, we will call general strikes and consumer
boycotts, and we will not stop until the balance of power in this
country undergoes a paradigm shift back into the hands of
hard-working Americans, particularly those who want full time jobs
and can't find any.
We will
fight from the highest mountains, from the lowest valleys, from the
rooftops of buildings, we will fight in the cities and in the
countryside, from the Jersey shore to the beaches of California, and
from the Canadian border down south to the border with Mexico. We
will not stop until we get our country back, and we shall never
surrender. If the abusive government authoritarians label us as
domestic terrorists, which we most certainly are not, then we will
“remind” them that we are freedom fighters and American patriots.
We shall fight with non-violent civil disobedience, we shall – so
far as it is possible – demonstrate and march peacefully throughout
the land, until we get our country restored to us, the workers of
America, to whom it rightfully belongs!
Let
there be no mistake – America is past being overdue for mass civil
disobedience, and it is ripe for outright revolution if political and
economic power are not restored to the people. If our First Amendment
rights continue to be taken away, then we will fight back using our
the Second Amendment rights instead. The conditions and circumstances
in which the US middle and working classes find ourselves has become
intolerable. President John Kennedy once said, “Those
who make peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution
inevitable”.
Those words will soon come true, and the American people to whom
this country rightfully belongs will make them so!
Personally,
I am a very patient and thoughtful man. I work hard each day to be
slow to speak and quick to listen because I know from experience that
there is much wisdom to be derived from living my life this way. But
by the same token, I am a Christian man and an angry minister whose
patience is at its end. Just as surely as Jesus preached against the
political and religious establishment of His day, in like manner I
will do the same in the present day in order to emulate the man I
regard as my personal Savior. So, if you truly care about the
deteriorating state of our nation, if you are really concerned about
the issues that we are faced with collectively as a people, and if
you want to make a stand against social and economic injustice and
outrageous inequality, then you owe it to yourself to join this
movement and to read
these books.
It is my sincere hope that you will be inspired to take decisive
action against the rich and powerful who have nearly finished
enslaving us all.
