Is There Really any Difference between the US and Former Soviet Union?

Vatic Note:  It was surprising to see the similarities between the Soviet Union collapse and the impending collapse of the USA.  I thought the USA would never collapse, but then at the time I had no idea what a huge role the Khazar Rothschild bankers played and how very much similar the game was they played in both the Soviet Union and the United States.  The end result was never going to be any different.   The regional plan was to set up 10 regions,  extract all the wealth from each region and collapse those into a global one world.  Then, with total control of each region under a global "UNELECTED" governance by appointed corporations and bankers, they could simply collapse the global economic system whenever they needed wealth extracted from the system.  Clever plan.  All the while continuing their genocide of all "other races" from the planet. 

What this shows is their is simply no difference between our systems and never was.   We have not  selected our leaders anymore than Russia did and we used to laugh at their elections that were rigged.   I guess he who laughs last, laughs best.   Now Russia gets to analyze our collapse and is now comparing it to their own.... how ironic.   We haven't collapsed yet, and if we can get the bankers out of the way, we might still be able to come back if we do the following:

Cities, States to default soon? A Felony Fraud on the Taxpayer!

Vatic Note: The reason I have put this up now, is because of all the fear mongering spreading around about an eminent COLLAPSE of our governments both local and state.  Add to that California's threat of bancruptcy when their southern california financials indicate a 4 billion dollar unrestricted liquid assets on their financials that are not included in their budget, which means they are carrying two sets of books, and thus the funds are in fact available to prevent the bankcruptcy, and that did not include Northern California. Well, that is the case with every municipality, both local and state.   So CHECK OUT YOUR TOWN, COUNTY AND STATE BEFORE BUYING INTO THIS GIANT OF ALL SCAMS.  This video explains in full detail how this all works and how the various states have two sets of books, one set for the tax payer called a "BUDGET" and another set for the state and feds called a CAFR report, which is a consolidated Annual Financial Report. In the latter is where all the cash is stashed and the wall street brokerage firms make millions off the management and investment of these accounts nationwide for all the governmental agencies. New Jersey alone has trillions and they are not near as big as NY and California.  STOP ANY BANCRUPTCY IN ANY STATE WITH THIS INFORMATION.   Remember,  UNITED, WE ARE POWERFUL

SOLUTION: So, solution to this one is easy. Obtain the CAFR's for YOUR LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS,  THEY ARE MANDATORY TO BE PRESENTED TO THE FEDS EACH YEAR.  For Californians for instance, get the CAFR's for  both sourthern California for 2009, (page 26, "unrestricted funds", shown in the millions (000's added to figure showing), and Northern California, so the figure there is in the billions when you add the three 000's) and southern california, go to the liquid assets section of the report, and look for "cash - unrestricted funds". Then add them up together, get the document certified by a bank or power of attorney and then bring it to bancruptcy court to show the court these funds are available and are to be used since they were accumulated using taxpayer funds for creating the revenue generating source and thus belong to the taxpayer, not private entities. THIS IS A MUST WATCH VIDEO "THE BIGGEST GAME IN TOWN", those of you in NY and NJ are going to be shocked.  You have trillions in all those municipalities and state coffers.  GO GET THEM. There is no bigger scam going on right now, than this one. Its been going on for years and we knew nothing about it. ITS TIME TO EXPOSE IT TO THE LIGHT OF DAY. STOP THE BANCRUPTCY in its tracks, and prevent the state under Nazi Arnold, from privatizing all taxpayer funded projects and infrastructure and state parks and lands. THIS IS CRITICAL to saving the citizens of california from being raped and pillaged.

Those of you in Illinois where they are also squealing bancruptcy, can check this one out and do the same thing.  Take it to the bankcruptcy court and present the info.  

Watch this video by Alex Jones FIRST about Walter Burien and the CAFR's and his interview, then below watch Walters ground breaking video on the scam of the century against the American TAXPAYERS.  Amazing gall.   I also believe part of it is the money laundering going on with the massive drug running and its being done throuhg our khazar operated and controlled international banks who also control the investments of these CAFR's and make money on fees, so you know why they don't want you to use it for budget purposes.  Anyway,  when they start screaming COLLAPSE, COLLAPSE, just shove these in their faces and tell them jail is their next stop if they try to collapse anything.

“Monetary Shock and Awe”: The Fed prepared to launch most Radical Intervention in History

Mike Whitney

http://www.prisonplanet.com/monetary-shock-and-awe-the-fed-prepared-to-launch-most-radical-intervention-in-history.html

The equities markets are in disarray while the bond markets continue to surge. The avalanche of bad news has started to take its toll on investor sentiment. Barry Ritholtz’s “The Big Picture” reports that the bears have taken the high-ground and bullishness has dropped to its lowest level since March ‘09 when the market did a quick about-face and began a year-long rally. Could it happen again? No one knows, but the mood has definitely darkened along with the data. There’s no talk of green shoots any more, and even the deficit hawks have gone into hibernation. It feels like the calm before the storm, which is why all eyes were on Jackson Hole this morning where Fed chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his verdict on the state of the economy on Friday.
Wall Street was hoping the Fed would “go big” and promise another hefty dose of quantitative easing to push down long-term interest rates and jolt consumers out of their lethargy. But Bernanke provided few details choosing instead this vague commitment:

“The Committee is prepared to provide additional monetary accommodation through unconventional measures if it proves necessary, especially if the outlook were to deteriorate significantly.”
Check. There’s no doubt that Helicopter Ben would be in mid-flight right now tossing bundles of $100 bills into the jet-stream like confetti if he had the option. But Bernanke is fighting a rearguard action from inside the FOMC where a fractious group of rebels want to wait and see if the recent downturn is just a blip on the radar or something more serious, another tumble into recessionary hell.

IMF blueprint for a global currency – yes really

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010/08/04/306346/imf-blueprint-for-a-global-currency-yes-really/


FT Alphaville missed this IMF paper when it first came out in April, 2010.

Authored by Reza Moghadam, director of the IMF’s strategy, policy and review department, it discusses how the IMF sees the International Monetary System evolving after the financial crisis.

We’ll cut to the chase and draw readers’ attention to the final bubble in the following chart, found on page 4:


Which means, in the eyes of the IMF at least, the best way to ensure the stability of the international monetary system (post crisis) is actually by launching a global currency.

And that, the IMF says, is largely because sovereigns — as they stand — cannot be trusted to redistribute surplus reserves, or battle their deficits, themselves.

The ongoing buildup of such imbalances, meanwhile, only makes the system increasingly vulnerable to shocks. It’s also a process that’s ultimately unsustainable for all, says the IMF.

Capitalism is NOT Free Enterprise

Capitalism is NOT Free Enterprise

July 19, 2010
by Tony Blizzard
(for henrymakow.com)


A friend who knows my stand on money, etc. emailed me a Bloomberg article entitled "Capitalism not so Sacred as American Mood Sours." 

The article quoted a U.S. Chamber of Commerce poll  showing that 57 percent of Americans say they support capitalism, compared with more than 70 percent who back free enterprise and free markets. Polls have generally found similar lower levels of enthusiasm for "capitalism."

"There's been an erosion of support for capitalism," Steve Lombardo, who conducted the poll, said in an interview. "It hasn't become a bad word, but it's less positive than it has been."

The bigwigs want us to keep equating capitalism with free enterprise.

The truth is that free enterprise is 180 degrees-opposite capitalism.  Capitalism is a mentally deranged, dysfunctional economic system which can only survive by fleecing the people while moving all wealth to private bankers and their lackey corporations.

Patriots to this day are repeating and mis-reasoning from this error which is apparently promoted as ardently as the lie of worthless bank credit being real debt which must somehow be "repaid."

Yet, recent polls by Gallop and Pew show that many of us have had it with capitalist greed. We are talking again about true free enterprise which made the U.S. an economic paradise.

These polls have the parasites squirming to the point that they feel it necessary to go into butt saving mode.  (How ironic.)  Of course, their first act is to put out new disinformation.

The oil spill was arm-twisting blackmail coercion to pass financial regulation.

Vatic Note: Well this is probably one of the better explanations for what BP did. I dreamed up a few myself but actually this one makes perfect sense and the timing was exactly as Dick says it was. So I am going with this one. If they don't like it they can sell their press to someone who will give us the truth and then they don't have to worry about speculation anymore.  I would have added the word "BOGUS" financial regulation.  THEY AREN'T DONE WITH US YET.... BUT WE AREN'T DONE WITH THEM EITHER.  We have only just begun to fight.   What is it the Japanese said in World War II???  "I am afraid we have awoken a sleeping tiger".  Indeed.

Commentary by Dick Eastman, Yakima, Wa., USA

The oil spill was arm-twisting blackmail coercion to pass financial regulation. As soon as they got what they wanted the well was shut off at the cap, just like they always could have done if and when they wanted to.

Well leak simply shut off at the cap within two hours of passage of legislation relinquishing all government right to supervision of the financial sector, which is now in the exclusive hands of the private Rothschild/Rockfeller owned Federal Reserve Bank.

Thanks for trying! It appears they did it in a rush with no notice. It did not pass.

Vatic Note:   Now,  check out how your senator voted, write it down, and never forget it. If he voted against it, then that is treason and he should not be returned to congress under any circumstances.   Had he voted for the amendment, he would have driven a stake in the heart of the VAMPIRE where it hurts.   They did not want us to see the size and scope of the theft and with that act, now comes civil disobedience in our pocket books.   April 15, 2011 is the end, we never pay another cent again, and we never work a wage paying job with deductions withheld.    We create our own jobs and work and never pay toward that theft, let those who enjoy slavery pay for it.  That was the final straw that broke the camels back. Remember we do not have to aid and abet in a crime which paying any taxes at this point, does to us.   This is why they wanted enemy combatants because when  you civilly disobey, the jury would set you free, and this way they OWN you and they can prove it to you by doing anything they want to you.  

SOLUTION:   I suppose you can tell we are mad??? Now, figure out what your cost of gas would be per gallon without the tax and that is public information, then fill up  your tank and pay by a designated credit card that you designate as the one you will use  for everything that carries a fed tax on it.  Put aside one credit just for buying items with federal tax items on it, like cigarettes if you smoke, gas, etc.   Then at the end of the month only pay the part that is the actual product and leave the tax on to accumulate.   Keep doing that each month until you do not have any reason to do it.   What you are then doing is forcing the bank to pay your tax on all those items to the fed and you do not pay the tax.   THEN NEVER PAY THAT TAX PORTION EVER.  Now on April 15,  that will become the ultimate proof whether we want to live like slaves or like freemen.    Send them a promissory note to pay once you receive your share of the payback of the bailout since all your taxes since the bailout has gone to their theft, then when they pay it back, you will pay your taxes.   That would be actually legal since its a debt for a debt.   They owe us interest for the trillions in bail out each month and that interest should be applied to the interest we owe them since its less than what they owe us.  Then deduct from what we owe them all the additional costs of false flags,  actually successful false flags like 9-11 and the oil rig explosion etc.   That is huge cost and they owe it for doing it.   Its contract law.   WE can get into it later.   iF YOU GET A LETTER FROM THE IRS TO AUDIT YOU, REMIND THEM AUDITS ARE NOT LEGAL NOW THAT IT WAS LEGALLY STATED THAT THE FED DID NOT NEED TO BE AUDITED AND THUS WE DO NOT EITHER. 

Ron Paul and Alan Grayson with Dylan Ratigan: Audit the Fed!

Ron Paul and Alan Grayson talk about their efforts to ensure a proper audit of the Federal Reserve is included in any "reform" package.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ojbOd4HPVc&feature=related



SOLUTION: CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR AND THE WHITE HOUSE TO APPROVE ALL THESE BILLS AND AMENDMENTS THAT ARE IN OUR FAVOR. Tell them that
WE KNOW what is going on and we WANT IT STOPPED NOW.   Mention words like "Treason", Fraud, Stealing, aiding and abetting a felony crime.   I think those words would work very well.  Be sure and write down the bill numbers and amendments wanted.  Tell them THIS IS WHERE WE STOP ROTHSCHILD INTERNATIONAL BANKING MAFIA CARTEL.  Its important they understand clearly that we know what they are doing, remind them of the refusal to pass the law on insider trading for congress and that we understand fully what that means.  Tell them they are committing a crime if they refuse to pass these bills when they are already in violation of the insider trading laws.    WE WANT FULL AUDIT OF THE FED.  Where is our gold??? That will really torque them.   Hit them with everything you have, all of it, and show them we KNOW everything such as Goldman Sachs shorting on the oil Rig company just before the explosions.   WE KNOW!!!!!!  Say it loud and clear.  Its the only chance we have within the system and we must focus on clearly seeing all those bills pass and focus on our celebration at having won the battle.  You go.

ExxonMobil paid no federal income tax in 2009. (Updated)

Vatic Note:   Remember, schools are getting funds cut,  seniors cut in medicare, freeze on Soc Sec, families are in the streets in record numbers and EXXON PAYS NO TAXES IN 2009 FOR RECORD BREAKING PROFITS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS NATION????    Its actually against the Constitution for them not to pay taxes.  In fact, its specific in there that only corp profits were suppose to be taxed since our labor is an asset and we exchange it for another equal value asset so its not suppose to be taxed, but be that as it may, its clearly stealing to not pay any taxes on bogusly obtained profits.

Last week, Forbes magazine published what the top U.S. corporations paid in taxes last year. “Most egregious,” Forbes notes, is General Electric, which “generated $10.3 billion in pretax income, but ended up owing nothing to Uncle Sam. In fact, it recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 billion.” Big Oil giant Exxon Mobil, which last year reported a record $45.2 billion profit, paid the most taxes of any corporation, but none of it went to the IRS:

Obamacare To Be Enforced By Armed Thugs

Title:    Obamacare To Be Enforced By Armed Thugs

http://www.prisonplanet.com/obamacare-to-be-enforced-by-armed-thugs.html/print/

Ron Paul: “If it was a good program and everybody liked it, you wouldn’t need 16,500 thugs coming with their guns and putting you in jail if you didn’t follow all the rules”



Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, March 23, 2010

If the health care bill was such a positive act of reform, as establishment Democrats and the corporate media are pitching it, then how come it needs to be enforced by means of coercion at the hands of thousands of armed IRS thugs?

That was the context of the discussion during Ron Paul’s appearance on Fox Business’ America’s Nightly Scoreboard last night, as the Congressman continued to speak out against the tyrannical nature of Obamacare.

Paul emphasized the need to protect the private option in health care as a fundamental right for all Americans not to be reliant on the government for their services.

“During this debate they talked a whole lot about the public option, I just wish they would protect the private option, give us a chance to have it private, just like you should have a chance to have private education, home schooling, you should always protect that….if you always had a private option in medicine some of us could survive and at least we could set an example for the type of medicine that the people should be getting,” said the Congressman.

Host David Asman pointed out that it would now be illegal to have private health care and that people would be forced to buy insurance under the constant glare of the 16,000 plus new IRS agents being hired to harass people into compliance [2] to the new program.

Under Obamacare, $10 billion dollars is allocated to pay for 16,500 IRS agents who will collect and enforce mandatory “premiums.”

(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)

 [3]

Paul said that the people who previously needed to carry the least insurance would now be forced to carry the maximum, and be hounded by the IRS as a result.

“This is a command society now and medicine is right at the forefront of this….16,500 armed bureaucrats coming to make this program work – if it was a good program and everybody liked it, you wouldn’t need 16,500 thugs coming with their guns and putting you in jail if you didn’t follow all the rules,” said Paul.

The Congressman highlighted the fact that people don’t trust the government’s record on social programs, pointing out that Medicare, Medicaid and the Post Office are all bankrupt, and that the majority of Americans have little confidence in Obamacare being any different.

Paul said there was a chance parts of the bill would be overturned if Republicans were victorious in November, but that the biggest threat to the legislation was the probability that the entire system would collapse, labeling Obamacare a “Horrendous new burden that we have placed on the economy.”

The Off-Shored Economy : The Ruins of Detroit

Title:    The Ruins of Detroit  

The Off-Shored Economy
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS  - 03-17-2010

http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts03172010.html  %20Date

In the 20th century, Detroit, Michigan, symbolized American industrial might. Today it symbolizes the offshored economy.


Detroit’s population has declined by half. A quarter of the city--35 square miles--is desolate with only a few houses still standing on largely abandoned streets. If the local government can get the money from Washington, urban planners are going to shrink the city and establish rural areas or green zones where neighborhoods used to be.

President Obama and economists provide platitudes about recovery. But how does an economy recover when its economic leaders have spent more than a decade moving high productivity, high value-added middle class jobs offshore along with the Gross Domestic Product associated with them?

Some very discouraging reports have been issued this month from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There have been record declines in both jobs and hours worked. At the end of last year, the U.S. economy had fewer jobs than at the end of 1997, 12 years ago. Hours worked at the end of last year were less than at the end of 1995, 14 years ago.

The average work week is falling and currently stands at 33.1 hours for non-supervisory workers.

Senator Christopher Dodd's financial reform bill to give huge powers to Federal Reserve

Vatic Note:   Many of you have been with me for years and have memories of some of the experiences I have shared.  Remember the first bail out when I called Dodds office and faxed over to his staff proof of fraud through lehman bros, the fed res, and US treasury paulson?   The staffer took the info and passed it around, I called back and asked what they thought of the proof and it ws the first time he was not very open while before he was enthusaistic about getting such proof.   I asked what the agenda on the bail "really" was, and he would not answer (at least he didn't lie) and finally, knowing he would not answer, I asked point blank "IS THIS ABOUT GLOBALIZING?)  and he said "YES"  and ended the conversation. 
This bill must be fought with every ounce of our energy, since this will place our entire financial system economically,  digitially, chipping in lieu of currency, etc, in the hands FULLY AND PERMANENTLY OF THE ROTHSCHILD BANKING CONSORTIUM and remember they are the real crown of britian, so we are then back under Empire once again.  THIS MUST BE FOUGHT.   Dodd is leaving as the traitor he is.

Date:       3/15/2010

The Federal Reserve would gain new powers over non-bank financial firms and keep much of its authority over banks under a new bill to be unveiled on Monday by the Senate's architect of financial reform.


In a turnaround for the central bank after months of public criticism, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd was poised to release a bill that leans heavily on the Fed to fix the U.S. financial system, sources said on Sunday.

Not only would a new government watchdog for financial consumers be housed within the Fed, it would also retain much of its present authority over large bank holding companies and gain new authority over selected non-bank financial firms.

Sources said the Fed would also continue supervising smaller, state-chartered banks now in the Fed system -- a change from an earlier proposal that would have transferred those banks to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. supervision.

The plans could yet change, sources said, with weeks to go before Congress completes its long debate on regulatory reform after the worst U.S. financial crisis in generations tipped the economy into recession and shook markets worldwide.

With Republicans and bank lobbyists working to weaken and block new rules, the push for reform could fail in the Senate. That would hurt Democrats and President Barack Obama as they head into November elections already short on achievements.

But the release on Monday of Dodd's bill will move the Senate closer to a decisive vote.

A million library books to be sent down the mines

Vatic Note:   Sometimes, the truth is so blatant that no comments are needed, this is one of those times, except to say, what ever is going to happen is after July 2010.  Also keep the seed bank in the Arctic in mind along with the fact that both the Bildeberg meeting last month was in the Artic and so was the Banking consortium.    So, we better decide if we want them to go with us.  Also remember, this has happened thousands of years ago as archeological digs and religious writings have said.   Genesis, it speaks of the "sons of God" came up from the earth and mated with the daughters of man.   So I get this must be round three coming up.

HAITI:Private Contractors 'Like Vultures Coming to Grab the Loot'

Vatic Note:   Privatization of public services, infrastructure, and resources using public taxes to pay for these developed assets, and then turning them over to private "for profit" companies, has been going on in most third world countries, through and with the aid of the IMF and World bank, under the direction and oversight of Goldman Sachs (see "confessions of an Economic Hitman").   Now we here in the US have slowly been going through the same process and its insidious.   Its never discussed, never congressional involvement, rather handled through the Executive branch.  Its Fascism at its finest.   Now Haiti is the next victim and its obvious why all happened as it did to that highly resourced yet poverty ridden country, at the hands of those so adapt at keeping emerging economies in the toilet through outright theft.

VANCOUVER, Canada, Feb 19 (IPS) - Critics are concerned that private military contractors are positioning themselves at the centre of an emerging "shock doctrine" for earthquake-ravaged Haiti.


Next month, a prominent umbrella organisation for private military and logistic corporations, the International Peace Operations Association (IPOA), is co-organising a "Haiti summit" which aims to bring together "leading officials" for "private consultations with attending contractors and investors" in Miami, Florida.

Dubbed the "mercenary trade association" by journalist Jeremy Scahill, author of "Blackwater: the Rise of the World' Most Powerful Mercenary Army", the IPOA wasted no time setting up a "Haiti Earthquake Support" page on its website following the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated the Caribbean country.

In Rolling Stone Issue 1082-83, Matt Taibbi takes on "the Wall Street Bubble Mafia" — investment bank Goldman Sachs (click here to read the whole story). The piece has generated controversy, with Goldman Sachs firing back that Taibbi's piece is "an hysterical compilation of conspiracy theories" and a spokesman adding, "We reject the assertion that we are inflators of bubbles and profiteers in busts, and we are painfully conscious of the importance in being a force for good." Taibbi shot back: "Goldman has its alumni pushing its views from the pulpit of the U.S. Treasury, the NYSE, the World Bank, and numerous other important posts; it also has former players fronting major TV shows. They have the ear of the president if they want it." Here, now, are excerpts from Matt Taibbi's piece and video of Taibbi exploring the key issues.

NY FED Under Geithner implicated in Lehman Accounting Fraud Allegation-"Breaking News"

Vatic Note:  Lets also remember, those of you on my list, that I had submitted proof to the FBI of fraud the night before the insolvency was announced when sunday evening the Fed Res Chair, Bernanke,  Paulson, and Lehman CEO met in NY at about 6 pm and the following Wednesday it was discovered they received $350 million dollars/euros from the Bank of Germany (it was monday morning in Germany) and then proceeded to retain the funds and place the debt into the bailout.

No explanation as to where the funds went or where they are now, someone has $385 million they didn' t have at 6 pm sunday.  It obviously didn't go into lehman's company.   A cover up?   In a normal bancruptcy when all parties are aware they intend to file bancruptcy the next day and then proceed to extract funds from those who do not know, then keep the funds, and place the debt into the filing, it is fraud on its face.   The FBI announced an investigation that day when it came out in the German papers what had happened.   Once the investigation was reported, all of a sudden the Bush FBI cancelled it.  Why?   Would this info below have been exposed if the investigation went forward???  Is that why the smaller fraud got buried???  It also means that both Paulson and Bernanke are also complicit since they were at that meeting according to GATA who had a reporter present outside the meeting and saw them all go inside the building.

Quite a few observers, have been stunned and frustrated at the refusal to investigate what was almost certain accounting fraud at Lehman. Despite the bankruptcy administrator’s effort to blame the gaping hole in Lehman’s balance sheet on its disorderly collapse, the idea that the firm, which was by its own accounts solvent, would suddenly spring a roughly $130+ billion hole in its $660 billion balance sheet, is simply implausible on its face. Indeed, it was such common knowledge in the Lehman flailing about period that Lehman’s accounts were such that Hank Paulson’s recent book mentions repeatedly that Lehman’s valuations were phony as if it were no big deal.

Vatic Note:   This article explains why a part of our people to people initiative is geared towards recruiting our law enforcement and military to remain with the people against domestic enemies within each country or better said,  International bankers who are extracting wealth from the nation through control of our respective governments.   The picture will be put up shortly and you will see what the law enforcement did to aid the people against the actions of those betraying their people.  Remember the IMF was the instigator in Greece of these problems, which is an arm of the international Rothschild cabal.   RESISTANCE is an option of last resort, so lets make this people to people initiative work if we can.

Title:    Greek police stormed a government printing
Date:   08 марта 2010  (03/08/2010) 


In Athens, MUP Greece stormed the state printing office. It is reported by TV Channel "Russian 24".

Greek Police want to prevent the publication of Government paper with the text of the law of the new stringent economy measures of the Federal Budget. According to the law of the country, a passed law can come into force only after publication in the official newspaper of the Government of Greece.

The bill, which caused such a reaction, provides a significant reduction in salaries, bonuses and holiday pay, the growth of other taxes and excise taxes .

The Government expects the additional Austerity measures will bring the budget 4.8 billion Euros of additional revenue that would allow reduction in the state budget deficit to the level of 4% against the deficit of Greece in 8.7% of GDP.

Recall also that the staff of the principal of the Greek airline Olmpic Airlines, sacked after sending the airline into private hands, the fifth consecutive day hold in their hands the building of the Chief Financial Management (Treasury), Greece. Because of their actions partially offset by a central Athens street Panepistimiu.

Health “efficiency” means murder - (Australia)

Vatic Note:    It appears their current publically controlled system is simply not working with only 25% of funds reaching patient care.   Is this what we can expect in a governmentally run health care system?  Its already a problem in our Vets and American Indian health care system which are both failing.   Is this another tool for depopulation and eugenics (who is of value to society?).   Keep that in mind, since so far, nothing the elite has done  toward this new global governance of a facsist nature,  has had any benefit to the citizens of these nations.  This gives us all larger perspective on just how coordinated and sold out our leaders are when they follow a game plan at the same time with the same push and elements contained therein, thus our only option is to do the same thing.  Join the "global people to people initiative" above and email your info to vatic2010@gmail.com and join the fight to gain back control of our respective nations, and change that which is already in place.  .

DEPOPULATION, GENOCIDE AND EUGENICS on the table now????

Vatic Note:   Soon, there will be a commentary done on vatic addressing the Governments movement toward Eugenics and depopulation of our people.   The bad news is this is beginning here in the US right now and has been for about several years but has increased under Rahm Emmanuals brother, Ezekiel Emmanual who is an avowed Eugenicist and has been appointed "the health Czar" Under Obama with no approval or committee hearing on his appointment because of his writings that would have prevented him from ever reaching that high a post within the US Gov.   

He previously wrote quite a bit about the need to use public policy to move the nation from Valuing "individual" rights to valuing "societies rights" by supporting  policies shifting from everyone to only those citizens deemed PRODUCTIVE and thus valuable to the society as a whole and that was to be determined by those in power.  The result were his recommendations that those diseases that accompany age would be eliminated from basic guaranteed health care.    I have those writings and they will be put up for you to see when the commentary is finished. 

DERIVATIVES BUBBLE ON SENIORS LIVES 

Wall street has set up another derivatives betting on when seniors will die off.  They have also rigged another scam to use on Seniors and it goes like this..... seniors have life insurance with cash value.    The face value is always much higher than the cash value.   When severely strapped for cash, Wall street brokers give the senior 75% of their "CASH VALUE" on their policy  which might be only $7,500, but the face value of the policy maybe $100,000.  

The senior then signs over that policy to the Banker as beneficiary when he/she dies for that "face value" of the policy of $100,000. The surviving senior spouse gets nothing. You can tell a lot about a psychopath by his lack of humanity and caring for the "least of these".   

So now, it becomes important to know just how fast can you make that senior die so those millions in that bubble can be raked into the bankers.    Thus policies have been geared to making it harder and harder for them to survive.   That is criminal and if intentional, its first degree murder.   Remember who owns the politicians.... thus they are included in this scam by the laws they pass that aid these bankers in their objectives.  This is beyond Satanic. 

I put this here because its plain that this is an added movement toward taking away the support seniors need to "survive".   Between the cost of drugs,  the cut back in medicare, the cut in social security benefits by freezing COLA's for TWO years.... cutting food stamps, LEAP and heat subsidies, forbidding cheaper drugs from Canada and now this to take even more away from the seniors, is moving wholesale into killing off our seniors through public policy which officially MAKES EUGENICS THE POLICY OF THE LAND. (VN:  that is called "A crime against humanity")


If you cannot produce as a slave you will not receive benefits and will be genocided out of the nation using public policy.  That is seniors, seriously and permantly wounded vets, the handicapped, etc.   Its going to be a killer commentary when its finished.  

In this instance, as usual, its the bankers who made out since they have all been paid off on those debts through government guarantees.    No mention of any means test on these either.   

In some cases down right fraud has occurred in cheating seniors out of their income when in fact they never owed the debt or had paid it off previously. (VN:  This is rampid and because there is no statute of limitations, seniors don't know enough to save their documentation after 9 years when everything else is pass the statute of limitations so most throw their documentation away. You have to be truly soul-less to steal from seniors as bankers, and its happening more and more.  Someone needs to file a class action law suit. )   That will be a whole  other article with documentation to prove it.  All of this in collusion with the Wall Street bankers.   Another bailout?  Or funds to fund more bailouts???

Title:  Defaulted Loans May Haunt Seniors


By:   Ellen E. Schultz
Date:   Monday, March 8, 2010

A little–noticed law could soon result in smaller Social Security checks for hundreds of thousands of the elderly and disabled who owe the U.S. money from defaulted loans and other debts more than a decade old.

Social Security benefits are off–limits to creditors, such as credit–card companies and banks. But the U.S. can collect debts to federal agencies by "offsetting," or withholding Social Security and disability payments.

The Treasury currently withholds benefits of 3.1 million Social Security recipients to recover defaulted student–, farm– and small–business loans, unpaid income taxes, amounts veterans owe for health care, and other debts to the government.

Previously, the U.S. hasn't been able to withhold Social Security payments to recover most debts delinquent for more than ten years.

But a provision in the 2008 Farm Bill lifted the ten–year statute of limitations on the government's ability to withhold Social Security benefits in collecting debts other than student loans—for which the statute of limitations was lifted in 1997—and income taxes, where the limit remains 10 years.

This means that a person who defaulted on a small–business loan in 1995, for example, and who is receiving Social Security could be notified that his benefits may be reduced each month until the debt, with interest, fees, and penalties, is paid. The Treasury can withhold 15% of the benefit, though it can't be reduced to below $750. Tax debts have no floor.
