"The policy of seeking values from human beings by means of force,
when practiced by an individual, is called crime.
When practiced by a government, it is called statism ..."
-- Nathaniel Branden
Why Aren’t Citizens Mad as Hell About What is Happening to Our Nation?
Congress is ruled by one thing – GREED!
Howard Bloom, Yale literature professor and cultural critic,
recently stated “I am 79 years old and I have never seen this country in such a
bad state. It is madness. What we are seeing is the fall of the Roman Empire,
only now it is the fall of America, the glory of our Empire.”
America has more people on
welfare than are working full time. Election
fraud is rampant. American students continue to fall further behind our
international cohorts. The average person cannot even name one thing that the
Obama administration has done to improve the condition of the middle
class, yet, he got re-elected…
The U.S. economy has had six full
years to bounce back since the financial collapse of 2008, and it simply has
not happened. Median household income has declined substantially since
then, total household wealth for middle class families is way down, the
percentage of the population that is employed is still about where it was
The inhabitants of DC are getting richer
than those in the 50 states. In recent years this has increased to a dramatic
degree... becoming painfully obvious especially when you consider that DC,
unlike San Francisco (and its Silicon Valley) has almost no natural, wealth
building industry.
Many of my foreign readers believe
Americans are simply chumps who don’t have a clue as to how much their own
government is screwing them. Indeed, one
writer told me “Americans are zombies, easily led and fooled by crooked
or incompetent politicians like Obama– just give them a beer, a joint
and football and they become unthinking slaves!”
Here’s our Friday roundup of government follies which could have

50 Facts That Show How Far America Has Fallen In This Generation
What has happened to America?
Please show these numbers to anyone that does not believe that the United
States is in decline. It is time for all of us to humble ourselves and
face the reality of what has happened to our once great nation. For those
of us that love America, it is heartbreaking to watch the foundations of our
society rot and decay in thousands of different ways. The following are
50 facts that show how far America has fallen in this generation, but the truth
is that this list could have been far, far longer…
Pathetic Nonsense
The
FBI classifies some sovereign citizens as terrorists. U.S. law enforcement
officials are being warned about members of the sovereign citizen movement --
the number one potential terrorist threat in the United States according to a
2014 study by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses
to Terrorism(START). Law enforcement agencies estimate that there are about
100,000 hard-core members of various sovereign citizens groups around the
country, with another 200,000 sympathizers. West Virginia police
A Federal Appeals court upheld a Florida law that discourages
physicians from asking patients if they own guns…reversing a lower court ruling striking
down the law because it infringed on doctors’ free speech rights. The judge said guns are private matter
irrelevant to medical care.
What is our
society going to look like when our faces are being tracked literally
everywhere that we go? As part of the FBI's new Next Generation
Identification System, a facial recognition database known as the Interstate
Photo System will have collected 52 million of our faces by the end of
2015. But that is […]

Have Efforts to Create a "Do Not
Track" List Derailed?
The Do Not Track (DNT) list was envisioned as being like
the popular Do Not Call list. It would create a central registry for consumers
to opt-out of having their online movements tracked with one easy step. This
would provide a simple and effective means for consumers to help manage their
digital privacy. Unfortunately, after several years of work, the working group
tasked with developing DNT has yet to agree on a definition of what 'tracking'
is, let alone how to stop it. This inability to reach an agreement leaves
consumers without an important means of controlling their digital privacy.... Read it
all.
Local police agencies have been able to gain use of
cell phone tracking devices by agreeing with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation not to disclose the fact that they’re using them, according to a
recently-released, heavily redacted document made public last week.

Nearly 1 out of 4 Americans are so fed up with Washington
that they’re prepared to not take it anymore – and would favor their state
breaking away from the rest of the United States. The sentiment is strongest in
the Southwest, but it’s weakest in New England – the birthplace of American
rebellion. Read More…
If you are among the thinking,
consider: Sign the
Petition to Repeal the Patriot Act
The U.S. Has Fallen Out of Favor…as long as I can recall, we’re
always at war!
We
have become a militaristic nation. Our troops are stationed all over the
planet. We represent 37% of global spending on
military,
nearly four times the next-closest country on the list — China. Our greatest
glories have come from winning a couple of wars; and our greatest humiliations
from losing a few. We’ve spent a lifetime invading or bombing countries in
Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Middle East and southeastern Europe.
These
actions have left angry masses in the wake. Now the American government lives
in fear of retaliation from aboard and they fear financial exodus at home. Thus
the government needs to track us to be sure we are still loyal patriots and not
disguised bad guys. And, they track our every financial move because they need
to make sure they don’t lose a cent of revenue that they desperately need to
fund their debt problem.
They
are paranoid and afraid. More and more of our data is needed to make the
American government feel safe. The need to spy on Americans [using the excuse of
protecting our freedom] here and abroad is indicative of a paranoid government
in decline.
America
is beginning to resemble, physically and operation-wise, like a third world
nation. Even though our infrastructure
is crumbling, we waste billions on overseas misadventures and our leaders are
too stupid or dishonest to admit it.
Our
Washington-Wall Street Cartel is what lies beneath the surface in American
politics — the nefarious deals made between corporations and the
politicians that are supposed to keep them in check — that makes me think the
Third World is where we’re headed as a nation.
I have always thought that under FDR Americans were given
a New Deal but under Obama, we’ve been handed a raw deal!
NOTE: I’ll be undergoing a surgical procedure for
my heart this week so there will be no further posts until probably Monday.
