The Time for the Accounting Approaches
Melinda Pillsbury-foster Date: 09-22-2007 Subject: NeoCons America is now poised for an event
that has happened elsewhere in the world but never, for living
Americans, here on US soil. That event is a hyperinflation that will
destroy our savings, milking Americans dry. Those who planned this
event have been in charge of the monetary system, and in charge of
every branch of government. While occupying those positions of trust
they have profited mightily. Now, many of those who believed their
were 'insiders' will face a reality that confronts them with the fact
that they, too, have been had. Their employers have used them to
immunize themselves as they prepared to move off shore, convert their
stolen assets into Swiss Francs, hard money, and commodities,
hunkering down to ride it out as they slurp champagne. The mortgage market is draining away
one portion of American savings while the Securities and Exchange
Commission finalizes the enabling of hedge funds and limited
partnerships like Blackstone Group, to suck out the pensions and
secured savings that elderly Americans thought would carry them
through to the end of life, leaving a nest egg for their children and
grandchildren. Those in power did not forget other kinds of savings,
including those intended to educate our children. It was all up for
grabs. To protect yourself and those you love you need to see the
world, not as they present it to us, but as it appears to them. We are the bees. They control our
hive. The Corporate Greedy, BigOil, think
they have won; they did all within their power to convert our form of
government from a representative republic made up of independent
states to a serial monarchy/oligarchy. They busily changed the
meaning of words, for instance converting the word, “Conservative”
to Big Government Federalist for a start. You may also still believe that
communism was a real threat to America instead of another boogie man
intended to keep us in line. You may still believe that a tiny
insane cabal of Muslims, individuals who had been marginalized in
their own countries, are a threat to us. It is time to lose your
illusions. Iraq is about the oil; The only surge
those in power really care about is the one being carried out by the
Security and Prosperity
Partnership and the other forms of
control for installing what they hope will be the militarized ground
they intend to turn into one large plantation that they call the
North American Union. Think of it, and us, as their long term
investment strategy. The hyper inflation now
beginning is intended to make us helpless, unable to resist, focused
on stark survival, as they staple in place a new, overt form of
government on the savaged bones of our Constitution. Those plans, as reflected
in the words, “Security and Prosperity Partnership” are about
just that. For their own children they want not prosperity but the
culmination of their own fantasied, a guaranteed, unending flow of
money and security. The Partnership is for the Corporate Greedy
only. You and I are not to be
the beneficiaries of that flow. Our purpose in their eyes is to
either produce the wealth, be consumed, or conveniently die. The Corporate Greedy have
been eating us alive for generations. By doing so they worked to
provide for those future generations of trust fund brats with no
character, morals or clue about the work ethic; more George W.
Bushes, more little Murdochs and Rockefellers. For that purpose they
have driven America into bankruptcy using all of the institutions we
paid for and thought were intended to provide security for us, the
real Americans, and our families. Like the movie, “The
Matrix,” it is very simple when you understand. This hyperinflation cycle
is the corporate beekeepers harvesting the hive. They are now
harvesting America, making room for those of us who survive, to
produce more. At the same time they are looking at which bees are
likely to give them the best return. They intend that the 'useless
eaters,' the elderly, the lowest income people, the inconveniently
political, die. After they finish
harvesting America will be a third world country. The North American
Union will be in place to act as their conduit for rebuilding on very
different lines, smugly expecting us to be grateful for the
opportunity to simply survive and serve. Hyperinflation is one of
their tools that shows you what is about to happen. It has been used
before. Stan Mikhalsky experienced the hyper inflation that took
place in the Soviet Union. Here is his story. by
Stan Mikhalsky “It started in November 1985. The
Soviet Union had been shaken by a tsunami of deaths as one after
another, starting in 1982, Party leaders died in office. First
Brezhnev, then Andropov followed by Chernenko. Never had the Soviet
Union seen so many deaths just in three years. Then, suddenly, a new guy, younger,
eager, and unexpected... Gorbachev, came into office. Those fat years of the 70s in the
Soviet Union had been followed by a long nightmare, one I see
beginning here in America. Well, you could ask, that is normal in
many countries, right? Normal? Maybe. But the outcome was like they
had pumped us dry of savings. Going through it was torture, seeing
the savings of a life time drained in days, weeks, or months. Many honest people in the Soviet Union
had escaped scrutiny, moving into the burgeoning middle class, by
keeping their profits in cash. For example, at the time there were
many 'underground milliners' whose enterprises were not in sync with
ruling Communist Party. These were "illegal activities"
though they harmed no one. Gorbachev had decided, alone or based
on advice, to kill these people as a class. And that action -- bill's
exchange -- killed a segment of the middle class in Soviet Union.
Just like in the United States, there
are always people who worked hard to build businesses and support
their families. In the Soviet Union we called those people, who were
like my parents, "hard working communists." Like all law
abiding citizens they kept their hard-earned money in the USSR
Savings Bank. At that time they had enough money in the bank to
support them in comfort in their retirement. So, in a sense, these
money were US 401K plans equivalent." 1985, everything changed. They figured
out how to reach into the places we had used to hide the money we
hoped would give us security. By 1991 the Soviet Union had ceased
to exist and Ukraine had become independent. As an independent nation, the Ukraine
decided to have its own currency. That 'currency, ' which we called,
'coupons,' was printed on low quality paper and was easily reproduced
in basements using Xerox machines. Counterfeit currency became a
reality, dooming the Coupons. Rubles were highly valuable in exchange
because Russia had a strong infrastructure. The Ukraine, on the other hand, had
and has today, an economy based largely on agriculture. Some of you may wonder why we needed US dollars in a first place?
Well, because borders were much more open than before; many
entrepreneurs started trade with other countries and former Soviet
Union Republics, making the dollar the only currency we could use to
trade. All of us were having the same problems with currency. Today, it is finally stable and the dollar is losing its luster.
And there begins the warning I need to share with you. There are parallels in those years I lived through in the Ukraine
with what I see and sense with the current US market situation. The law of "survival of the fittest" is still in power.
You need to prepare yourself for what may come from uncontrollable US
inflation and staggering political instability. Do as many of us,
having survived through so many rounds of instability learned to do.
Do not hold on to currency. Instead, buy and hold raw products and
commodities. In all countries that painted the map of the Europe after Soviet
Union and later, Yugoslavia separation, the oligarchy raised their
wealth on these natural products. Some of the oligarchs came from
banking industry but in general " oil, gas, colored metals, and
media. I am pretty sure that this pattern will apply to any future
independent states with economics in turmoil. Get ready. It will happen here.” The problem that we face in America at this minute is what Stan
and other citizens of the Soviet Union faced, but for us that is only
a part of the story. After the inflation we will be facing a new
world, now being created to control us by the same people who are
harvesting the hive of American wealth as I write. To survive and provide the softest landing possible for Americans
we need to take action as follows. At the local level you need to get out of debt. If you can't pay
off your credit cards to big corporations don't feel bad; their grid
has been one of the conduits for stealing placed intentionally to put
Americans into their control. The reason they changed the bankruptcy
laws was because they knew where they were taking us. Pay off your
mortgage if possible or find the means for at least lowering your
exposure by moving to a fixed interest rate loan. Get ready to look for the investment opportunities that will soon
be available to ordinary people for lower cost alternatives in
energy, transportation, and other off-grid technologies. They are
coming. Every home that gets off their grids strikes a blow for
freedom. Look at all the grids, energy, transportation, water, food,
credit, insurance, medical. Understand how they bind you; there are
solutions to each of these. You can break free. Look at where you live. Can you grow your own food? Look into
starting a coop, bringing in locally grown farm food. Join with
those around you; this will build a community of cooperation that
will bring both security and provide the means for local control. Growing and eating locally will reduce your exposure to reliance
on food that is shipped in from off shore, perhaps bringing in with
it diseases or toxic substances, and also mean more security for you
and those around you in a steady, clean, supply of food. Growing your own food has many other benefits; many generations
of Americans did just that. Learn more about what you can do along
with others in your community. Local food, vegetables and meat,
taste better and do not carry the additives that we are slowly
learning have had drastic physiological impacts on our health. Make sure you know what your children are learning. Schools now
routinely turn out students who are functionally illiterate, suited
only for the kinds of jobs they envision for our posterity. Dumbing
down was part of their agenda. The planning for that began in California with the Reagan
Administration with his election as governor there. Examine what you
think you know. We were all conned, often and early. The best indicator for future success in life is how early you
have your first job, not how many degrees you accumulate; education
has become about symbols over substance. Tesla had no degrees and
never attended college. This generation of children will be finding
out what it means to work the hard way. Nothing about the policies
that have extended childhood far into the twenties have been about
protecting children; those policies are about control At the same time you need to come together with others in your
community to take back control. Use persuasion; true community is
about including and caring for everyone voluntarily. Look at your local police. You pay their salaries.
If they are focused on a militarized agenda, converting you and other
citizens into criminalized targets, ignoring your Constitutional
rights under the coloration of 'gang control' you need to take
action. The Constitution is for all of us. The individuals hired as police need to understand that the
militarized agenda for control will not be tolerated. Deliver the
message. We need to take back control of our courts. Understand the bait
and switch that took place and study the common law that is America's
real heritage for enacting justice and lowering the transaction costs
of conflict and crime. A crime has not taken place if there is no
victim. The Sheriff in your County is the highest Constitutional law
enforcement authority. If you can't trust him, remove him and elect
someone who will be willing and able to tell the Feds to stay out.
Expect them to move rapidly on their agenda to assert control over
regional areas and state governments. Be ready to react accordingly. One of the victims of the Blackstone ploy, recounted in my last
article, was stripping China of the hefty investment they had made in
that company. China was conned. They lost billions of dollars and
they are justly angry. China today outspends us on military infrastructure. That was
not a smart move on the part of the Corporate Elite. China is not
one of them and we may all pay for the con game played out there. Lastly, start thinking about the many ways that same Corporate
Elite has conned us, manipulated us continue their predatory
behavior. Through the stock market, through the mortgage industry
grab, through the continued rackets they run in every place they
touch our lives. Count up what they have cost you, when, where and who. Make a
record. Gather together all of those accounts that show how they
have stolen from you, done all within their power to suck you dry. . There will be an accounting and you need to be ready. |
