Seven of the top ten debtor nations are included in the world’s top ten economies. Not surprising. This is largely a result of widespread availability of affordable credit, and relatively large middle classes in these countries, and consequently a large ratio of home/property owners. Most popular rhetoric on the topic would claim that wealthy countries have grown accustomed to being wealthy and they are enthralled by consumerism – it could be argued that this high level of debt could be a result of a culture that is used to and willing to buy now, and pay later…even if it means with interest.

Roubini: “In A Few Days Time, There Might Not Be A Eurozone For us To Discuss”

Israel, a New Decade

I turn on the television just before dinner. Prime-time. An Israeli series: “The Pilots’ Wives” (“Meet the Women behind Our Heroes”, said the promo), interrupted occasionally by a commercial depicting a soldier missing his mother’s soup (“disclaimer: the actor is not a soldier”). After the series, a short public service broadcast showing a group of young men, each in turn boasting his military service, until they notice one of them – a violent zoom-in – keeps quiet; the message is clear. Then the news, with at least one public relations item pushed by the military: “teen-age girls eager to become fighters”, “a remote-control watch-and-shoot system on the Gaza fence”, “a unique glimpse into a top-secret air-force base” or the like. Not to mention the real news, be it about the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Iran, or even the billions of terrorists disguised as miserable African refugees allegedly waiting on the Egyptian border to inundate Israel: all these issues, and many more, are predominantly managed and framed by the military.

The Costs of Complexity

Despite cheerleading and doctored statistics from within the Beltway, the US economy is in deep and deepening trouble; foreclosures continue to climb, commercial real estate and second mortgages are shaping up to be the next big shocks, and the rolling collapse of state and local government finances shows no sign of slowing down. The Goldman Sachs flacks who moved into power with the Obama administration promised to fix things; they have pretty clearly failed; and as the neoconservatives learned not long ago, intolerance for failure is very nearly the only thing on which the squabbling factions of the American political class can agree.

Reason Magazine: Peak Everything?

When you really need something, it’s natural to worry about running out of it. Peak oil has been a global preoccupation since the 1970s, and the warnings get louder with each passing year. Environmentalists emphasize the importance of placing limits on consumption of fossil fuels, but haven’t been successful in encouraging people to consume less energy—even with the force of law at their backs.

But maybe they’re going about it all wrong, looking for solutions in the wrong places. Economists Lucas Bretschger and Sjak Smulders argue that the decisive question isn’t to focus directly on preserving the resources we already have. Instead, they ask: “Is it realistic to predict that knowledge accumulation is so powerful as to outweigh the physical limits of physical capital services and the limited substitution possibilities for natural resources?” In other words, can increasing scientific knowledge and technological innovation overcome any limitations to economic growth posed by the depletion of non-renewable resources?

RC Aircraft (Remote Controlled UAV) – LAVI/ J10 Fighter Plane (Youtube)

This is a Full 3D flight. This exact aircraft is the Israeli LAVI, which was later copied by the Chinese and called the JC-10. It has thrust vectoring. The R/C LAVI you see here is manufactured by JD Enterprises and the pilot modified the intake and added a red star to make it look like a J-10.

I don’t exercise to look good naked. I don’t exercise to be healthy. I don’t even exercise to have more energy. In fact, I try to ignore these things as much as possible.

Fitness has stopped being a worthwhile goal, in and of itself, in our society. Frankly, I think that’s a big reason why we’re getting so fat. We’ve made fitness something only worth having if it comes along with six-pack abs and reduced chances of heart disease.

Poland’s President air crash survivors murdered in cold blood

Poland’s President and his army chiefs died in an air crash in Russia. But it has been emerged that there was foul play involved. An amateur video recorder reached the place to film the crash site.

Author of the video seen by everyone by now has been stabbed near Kijow on 4.15 and transported in critical condition to the hospital in Kijow. On 4.16 three unidentified individuals unplugged him from life support system and stabbed him 3 more times. Andrij was pronounced dead that afternoon. Russian government claims it was a coincidence.

Consumerism is a Boon for Human Development

Consumerism is the principle of Free Market, which states, “free choice of consumer should rule the market, or, the consumer decides the economic structure of the society“. Producers and providers bring their products to the market and make it certain that consumers, the public, may gain enough knowledge about their product so that, if the consumer decides that the particular product is good, they may buy it.

Dining lighting | The Art of Illumination

Lights not only illuminate a dining room, but can be used for accentuating its certain aspects also. Lighting plays a very important role in the overall décor of a dining room. It can make even a simple room look very much attractive, cheerful and welcoming. While suitable dining room lights can leave a great impression, harsh ones can make the ambience look very imposing.

Peak Metals – Are we running out of the metals we need?

We can’t live without metals. They seem to be in almost everything we use, and we’ve been digging them up, heating them up, and building them up, for thousands of years.

But virgin metal supplies are finite.

The temple gives the impression of a half-open lotus flower, afloat, surrounded by its leaves. Each component of the temple is repeated nine times. The temple is open to people of all faiths, languages and cultures. It is a symbol of a United India.

How Josh Timonen fucked up the Richard Dawkins Atheist Community Forum

One of the moderators expressed his discontent at the rudeness of the dismissal, at which point the site admin, Josh Timonen, deleted his entire account, including all of his posting history. This consisted of some 12,000 posts, most of it high-quality dissemination of hard science, debunking reality-denial, and the presentation of important breakthroughs in science. 5 more prolific posters quickly followed into oblivion, representing an estimated 40,000+ posts, and including another 2 of the moderating staff.

Layoff Notices Sent to Thousands of US Teachers

Hundreds of thousands of public school teachers across the United States are facing possible layoffs this coming academic year.

Confronting massive budget deficits, school districts throughout the country have been sending out notices (“pink slips”) to employees this spring, warning them that they are unlikely to have a job in the fall. The bloodletting is worst in California, Illinois, New York, Michigan, and New Jersey, but nearly every region in the country is affected.

China opens missile plant in Iran

China inaugurated a missile plant in Iran last month, even as the United States and its allies were pressing Beijing to support a new round of tough economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, Jane’s Defense Weekly reports.

It’s a military relationship that goes back two decades and, in light of Russia’s reluctance to provide the Iranians with advanced air-defense missile system to counter possible U.S. or Israeli airstrikes, is set to expand.

Robert Hewson, editor of Jane’s Air-Launched Weapons, reported that the factory for assembling and producing Iran’s Nasr-1 — Victory 1 — anti-ship missile was opened March 7.

Collateral Murder | WarCrimes in Iraq

WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

Women Can’t Drive

The Alien Menace! - By Justin Raimondo

A new documentary series created by Stephen Hawking posits the mathematical certainty of extraterrestrial life – but the brilliant theoretical scientist recommends against trying to establish contact. “To my mathematical brain, the numbers [of planets] alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational,” Hawking says. “The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.” That’s where the sense of caution sets in, because if they’re anything like us – rapacious warlike predators – then perhaps keeping a certain amount of distance is the better part of valor.

More cause and effect in the War against Terrorists

The extreme paradox of our actions in the Muslim world is now well-documented: namely, the very policies justified in the name of fighting Terrorism (invasions, occupations, bombings, lawless detentions, etc.) are the precise ones that most inflame and exacerbate that threat.  With the news this morning that “American troops raked a large passenger bus with gunfire near the southern [Afghan] city of Kandahar on Monday morning, killing as many as five civilians and wounding 18″ — a report which unsurprisingly “infuriated Kandahar leaders” and triggered anti-American demonstrations — there’s one small though revealing vignette from last week I wanted to highlight.

Scott Horton Interviews Daniel Luban – Antiwar Radio

Daniel Luban, writer for the foreign policy blog Lobelog, discusses Israel’s postwar history, the lack of a serious peace process since Camp David, Obama’s sometimes-encouraging rhetoric on a peaceful two-state settlement, common ground between the anti-occupation Left and foreign policy/military realists worried about disruption of US regional goals, why Palestinians will have a powerful appeal for one person one vote democracy should a two-state solution fail and why parsing the public statements of Israeli officials is like reading tea leaves.

1. World War I, The Balfour Declaration and the Overthrow of the Russian Zars.

Adolph Hitler wasn’t the only madman to rule over Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm II lead Germany to its destruction in W.W.I.  Crippled since birth with a useless arm, Keiser Wilhelm was the grand son of queen Victoria and the great uncle of QE2. It was no accident that Kaiser Wilhelm chose Max Warburg as head of Germany’s Secret Service. The Warburgs and the Rothschilds controlled Germany’s Central Bank called the Reich Bank, which was founded by Mayor Rothschild. While Max and Felix Warburg helped finance Germany in W.W.I, their brother Paul Warburg of Kuhn and Loeb helped finance the American side by selling War Bonds through the US Federal Reserve Bank.

The Rothschild and Warburg printing presses worked tirelessly on both sides of the Atlantic, rolling-out debt money.

Germany won the first world war by 1916 without a single shot being fired on German soil. British convoys were blown out of the Atlantic by German u-boats, the French army mutinied and the Russian army was defecting. With British Prime Minister Lloyd George up against a wall, Lionel Rothschild and the Jewish Zionists offered Britain a deal they couldn’t refuse. We’ll bring the United States into the war as your ally and win the war for you, if you promise us Palestine. In April of 1917, President Wilson got the green light and declared war on Germany. Because of overwhelming opposition to the war, Wilson evoked the draught and invoked the espionage act, forcing Americans to fight or be thrown in jail. Billions of US tax payers money was delivered to the British war machine. Money that was never repaid. In return the British government wrote the famous Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917 and addressed it to none other than to lord Lionel Rothschild. The declaration promised the land of Palestine/Israel to the Rothschild Zionists.

The Versailles treaty negotiations after WW1 were held behind closed doors at the luxurious private mansion of yet another Rothschild family member named Edmund Rothschild. Treaty negotiators included Rothschild agent Paul Warburg as the US delegate and his brother Max Warburg as a German delegate.

The Versailles peace treaty forced Germany to accept gilt for the war. As punishment, Germany lost its army, navy and colonies and had to pay the cost of the war through a debt to the international bankers which could never be repaid. WW1 killed 9 million solders, injured, crippled and impoverished millions and collapsed four empires with large parts of France, Belgium and Russia left devastated.

Wars throughout history have always been waged by the ruling class for conquest, power and profit, and the subject class have always fought their battles. It wasn’t until the close of WW1 that solders first began to ask why they were killing and being killed.

The League of Nations was established after WW1 as the money cartel’s first attempt at world control, but Zar Nicholas the second of Russia had caught-on to their plot and sabotaged it. That proved to be a deadly mistake. Schiff, Warburg, Rockefeller, Harriman and Morgan backed the uprisings that lead to the 1917 Russian revolution. Their strategy was to finance both sides of wars and revolutions, which gave them control over the winners, the losers and the outcome.

The execution and the removal of the bodies took 20 minutes. Three centuries of Zarism in Russia was gone.

In the years that followed, between 1918 and 1921, 14 million Russians died from war and starvation under Lenin’s Bolsheviks. By 1919 Lenin ran-up a national debt to the Rothschild international bankers of 60 billion dollars, which put Russia firmly under their control.

As Mayor Rothschild once said “Give me control of a nation’s money, and I care not who makes it laws.” To this day, the Rothschilds have stopped the heirs to the Zar’s fortunes from claiming their deposits held in Rothschild banks. Those fortunes are now worth an estimated 50 billion dollars.

Joseph Stalin, who was financed by the same money cartel, replaced Lenin as Russia’s brutal dictator. Using terror and death threats, Stalin’s job was to industrialize Russia and turn Communism into a powerful counter-force to Democracy.

Manufactured conflicts between these two powerful political forces would be the ideal excuse for future wars and for dividing, conquering and ruling the world.

2. The Rise of Hitler and WW2.

In his book Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Prof. Anthony C. Sutton shows documented evidence that US corporations supplied money, fuel, vehicles and weaponry that helped Hitler launch WW2.

Prescott Bush, father of George Bush and grandfather of George W Bush supplied raw materials and funneled vast sums of money and credit to Hitler’s Third Reich.

Under the trading with the enemies act, the US seized businesses operated by Prescott Bush and Averill Harriman, including New York’s Union Banking Corporation. These seizures were based on evidence that Bush and Harriman had been operating front organizations for Hitler’s Third Reich. Their German partner was the notorious Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who wrote a book of confessions called “I Paid Hitler”.

Professor Sutton lists Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, Henry Ford’s Ford Motor Company, J P Morgan’s General Electric, ITT and DuPont as suppliers for Germany’s rearmament program. But why on earth would supposedly Jewish bankers and corporations finance a monster like Adolph Hitler? It is a well known fact that Adolph Hitler went to great lengths to cover-up his family history. Even arranging for the assassination of Austrian Chancellor Dollfuss, who investigated Hitler’s family.

The Dollfuss file, now in the hands of the British Secret Service, reveals that Adolph Hitler’s grandmother, named Maria Anna Schickelgruber, worked in Vienna as a live-in house-maid at Salomon Rothschild’s manner next to his hotel. The information was traced through her compulsory registration card. Salomon Rothschild was one of Mayor Rothschild’s 5 banker sons. Separated from his wife; Salomon had a reputation with Police as a lecherous womanizer. When Maria Ana Schickelgrouper’s pregnancy was discovered, she was dismissed.

Adolph Hitler, the grandson of Salomon Rothschild earned a reputation as the most evil man the world had ever known. But more evil than Adolph Hitler were the men who created and financed him.

Hitler’s revolutionary activities in Germany landed him in prison for 5 years. This so-called prison was Landsburgh Castle, a comfortable privileged pastoral setting, where Hitler was groomed for the job of Furheir. His coaches, Rudolf Hess and Herman Guerin helped him write the infamous book Mine Kampf. Upon his release, the book was widely circulated and Hitler traveled throughout Germany, delivering prepared speeches with Rothschild / Warburg financing via the secret Thule and Verail societies.

“The Jews were to blame” shouted Hitler “for the humiliation of the Versailles treaty and for Germany’s financial ruin.”

What possible explanation could there be for supposedly Jewish business men supporting an anti-Semitic mad-man like Adolph Hitler and the extermination of millions of innocent Jews?

One of the world’s dirtiest secrets is that the exterminated Jews in Nazi Germany were not considered real Jews. They were considered Khazar Russians and Eastern Europeans whose ancestors converted to Judaism in 740 AD under their king, king Bulon. Their blood-line traces back to the Turkish Tribes and to the powerful empire of Kaisaris that once controlled all of Russia.

Prescott Bush, George W. Bush’s grandfather enjoyed an illustrious banking career, became a respectable republican senator and played golf with Eisenhower, until his past caught up with him.

Prescott Bush in the 1940s had an interesting role. He was an investment banker for Brown brothers Harriman. Unfortunately at the very same time he was doing those things, he was the secret banker for Adolph Hitler and the Thissen family. And he moved money for the Nazis. While his son was fighting them and their allies in the Pacific, dad was home doing that. All of Prescott Bush’s companies were taken over by the government due to his co-operation with the 3rd Reich and trading with the enemy. One of his companies operated mines in Poland, using the inmates of nearby concentration camps as forced labor.

The death camps were not an accident. The seeds of hatred were planted long before the war began. And the extermination was carried-out with some German industry in compliance, while the world looked-on.

While the German subsidiaries of US corporations made fortunes from the war industry and from the free slave-labor of supposedly non ethnic Jews, America also looked on. Masonic US president Franklin DeLeino Roosevelt, who was the grandson of Opium smuggler Warren DeLeino Jr., was too busy bombing the Japanese and developing weapons of mass destruction. Roosevelt chose skull and bones man Henry Stimson as secretary of war. Roosevelt and Stimson ordered massive fire bombing raids on Japan’s 6 largest cities, killing and burning alive a quarter million Japanese men, women and children. In the United States, innocent Japanese American families were thrown into internment prison camps. Japanese assets were frozen, Japan’s oil lifeline was cut off and crippling trade sanctions were imposed. This godless campaign of terror and merciless overkill demanded nothing less than total surrender and the removal of Japan’s emperor.

When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, it was the desperate act of a devastated nation. Like the 9-11 attack on the world trade center, US intelligence had well documented advanced warnings of the planned attack on pearl harbor. Yet, like Bush and Rumsfeld, Roosevelt and Stimson did nothing to stop it. The big question is why?

Historians like Robert Stinet and John Toleman believe that because US citizens would not participate in another world war, a direct attack on US soil would change their minds. The attack could also be used to justify the testing of Roosevelt’s new atomic weapons of mass destruction on a human population. Einstein introduced Roosevelt to the atomic bomb in 1939. Harry Truman, a relatively unknown, uneducated business school drop-out and the son of a mule trader, replaced Roosevelt as US president in 1945. Truman owed his political career to Tom Prendergast. A gun running, boot-legging, prostitution and narcotics ring crook, who sponsored Harry Trueman’s election into the US senate. On the advice of James Burns and Henry Stimson, dirty Harry dropped the first radio-active atomic bomb on the human population of Hiroshima at 8.15am on August 6th. 1945, without any warning.

Heat from the center of the explosion reached 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, melting buildings and setting bridges on fire. Rivers and streams throughout the city began to boil. People evaporated where they stood, leaving shadows of their bodies scorched onto the streets. In a matter of seconds, four square miles of Hiroshima became an atomic wasteland. Several minutes passed then a black rain began to fall on the wasteland. Pebble-sized pieces of black radio-active ash. 80,000 people died from the atomic explosion.

Three days later while Japanese survivors were still reeling from the radio-active fall-out, the United States dropped a second type of atomic bomb, nick-named “fat man”, testing it on the human population of Nagasaki.

In retaliation for 2,400 American military deaths at Pearl Harbor, that could have been prevented because of advanced warnings, two US atomic bombs of mass-destruction evaporated 130,000 Japanese civilians and their families and killed another 90,000 in the horrendous aftermath.

To this day, Japanese survivors and their off-spring suffer related genetic deformities, cancers, nightmares and permanent environmental destruction.

Years later, Harry Truman was asked if he did any soul-searching before giving his approval to use the A-bombs against Japan. His reply was “Hell no, I made it like that” and he snapped his fingers in the air.

In May 1952, Harry Truman was awarded an honorary plaque, and a village in Israel was named in his honor.

WW2 took the lives of 35 million trusting, patriotic, flag waving people, willing to die for their country, or die for freedom, or die a hero. But what they really died for was the lies and the propaganda of the ruling elite.

With the fall of Nazi Germany right on schedule, Stalin officially announced to the world that Hitler had escaped. But US and British spin-doctors quickly changed the story, claiming that Hitler had committed suicide, and that his body had been burned beyond recognition by his own officers. The key words being “beyond recognition”.

3. Establishment of the Zionist State in Israel.

While people were busy celebrating the end of WW2 and believing what they wanted to believe, the international bankers who had sponsored the genocide, torture and suffering of supposedly non-ethnic Jews, stole their wealth from Swiss bank accounts, just as they had stolen the wealth of the Russian Zars after financing the Russian Revolution. The Vatican was also tied to plundering Nazi gold, which had been stolen from the Jews. It is a well documented fact that pope pious 12th. lent his support to the anti-Semitic Hitler and his Nazi regime.

With the fall of Nazi Germany, the Rothschild’s wasted no time waving their Balfour Declaration (of November 2, 1917) at the British Government and reminded them of their written promise to give them Palestine. But how could the British promise the Arab land of Palestine to the Jews?

In 1917, the British parachuted free Opium and Hashish to the Turkish troupes and took Palestine from them.

During WW2, the British needed Arab oil and signed an agreement with the Arabs which forbade Jewish immigration into Palestine, then at the end of the war, the British broke their agreement with the Arabs and allowed the Rothschild Jewish Zionists to smuggle hundreds of thousands of Jews from around the world into Palestine. Jews who were in many cases forced to leave their homes and immigrate to the new Jewish State.

To win public support, the Rothschild’s, who own Routers and the Associated Press, bombarded their media empire with images of homeless Jewish Holocaust refugees crowded together in ships off the coast of Palestine.

On October 24, 1945, the Banker Global Empiricists gave birth to their most powerful weapon of global control, The United Nations. According to plan, the British pulled-out of Palestine and gave the land to the Jewish Zionists.

In 1948, the Banker controlled United Nations officially set up the Zionist state of Israel. To deal with millions of Palestinian residents, the Israeli Jews massacred and drove them from their homeland. The Jews herded the Palestinians into two separated regions called the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

The Rothschild’s soon began financing Jewish Holocaust refugees to build illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian land. These illegal Jewish settlements set the stage for Israel’s prime minister Arial Sharon’s reign of terror against Palestinians who dared to defend what was left of their stolen homeland.

Like Saddam Hussein, Sharon violated dozens of UN resolutions by using hundreds of tanks and American supplied gunships and planes in an unrelenting campaign of bombing, murdering, bulldozing, starving and terrorizing thousands of Palestinians off of what remained of their land.

In violation of international law, Israel also secretly developed over 100 nuclear weapons of mass destruction, capable of vaporizing the entire middle-east.

Defenseless against Israel’s US backed media and military campaign, the Palestinian Muslims fought back with sticks and stones and suicide as their only means of defense against the wholesale theft of their land.

The Bible prophesies that the world will eventually be ruled from Jerusalem by the coming Messiah. Many fundamentalist Jews and Christians wrongly believe that the Messiah will be a descendent of king David of the tribe of Judah, and think it is their duty to bring this to fulfillment. But the Bible book of Genesis clearly says that the Kingship will not depart from the line of David of the Tribe of Judah until Shiloh/Christ comes, but that then the Messiah will come from Joseph, and not Judah.

Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law-giver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].

Genesis 49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] The Shepherd, The [Corner] Stone of Israel:)

The Rothschild’s, whose front companies had helped finance Hitler and the Jewish slave-labor camps, have turned Jewish Holocaust victims into victimizers. Imprisoned inside barbed-wire refugee camps, the Palestinians began to resemble the victims of Nazi concentration camps.

According to author Simon Shama, the Rothschild’s own 80% of the land of Israel.

4. The Zionist claim on the land of Israel – Is it legitimate?

The Zionist extremists call themselves God’s Chosen people, and believe they have an unconditional God-given right to the “Promised Land” of Israel, but the Bible records a different story:

The Passover – 1500 B.C. – The Hebrew Israelites were in Egypt, in slavery, under the rule and laws of men. The Passover was where the “angel of death” passed over the houses of the Israelites and killed the first-born of Egypt, from Every household including the pharaoh’s (the king). It foreshadows the Second Passover because a lamb was sacrificed and its blood used to paint around the door of every Israelite house, to save them from death, just as the death of “The Lamb of God” – Jesus and His blood, saved the entire nation from death at Passover, 1500 years later.

The Passover and the lamb’s blood was the thing, that brought about, the end of 400 years of slavery and oppression, under the rules and laws of man, to Freedom under the Rule of God; His Laws and Economics, given to Moses and the Israelite people at Sinai.

As the Israelites left Egypt and slavery, hoping to never become slaves again, they swore that they would never kneel to any man, ever again, only to God, Who had given them freedom from the rule of evil men.

At Sinai, in Horeb, Moses was given God’s Laws; Statutes; Judgments; Agricultural and Economic Policies, so that Israel could live in prosperity and freedom, from oppression under selfish men’s laws and economic policies.

The entire nation accepted the Covenant/contract. Under The Covenant, Israel swore a solemnly binding oath, to keep and do everything that God had commanded to Moses, for ever and would be God’s servant nation, His wife and faithful to the marriage-contract (The Covenant) and His Demonstration People to the rest of the world.

That demonstration, was, to show the rest of the world, how wonderful it was to live under God’s Laws and Economics, as opposed to men’s evil systems (all of them including so-called democracy).

Under the terms of the marriage-contract God gave Israel the “Land Flowing with Milk and Honey” – the land of Israel. Their right of possession of the land of Israel was not unconditional, but was totally dependent upon them keeping the Covenant and God’s Law.

God said that as long as they kept His Ways and did not commit adultery (unfaithfulness to Him or each other), He would bring the sun and rain in their seasons and He would make their crops grow abundantly and they would want for nothing. They would live in peace and safety and be happy and prosperous, with no need for crime, as there would be no poverty or deprivation and everyone would love and help each other. (“Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself”).

The idea behind this, was, so that the gentile nations, outside of Israel, would see how wonderful it was to live under God’s system and want it for themselves.

They would have two options. The first and wrong option would be to try to take Israel by force and steal what they had. But, under The Covenant (marriage-contract), God had promised that He (as a husband protects his wife) would fight their enemies for them, and defeat them and that one man would chase a thousand and they would flee in terror.

The second and right option was – “if you can’t beat them, join them” – where they would come to Israel and ask if they could join them. Whereupon, they would be told, yes, if they agreed to keep The Covenant too. This was to be “the grafting into Israel of the Gentiles”, so that, little by little, the borders of Israel would enlarge to take in these gentile nations and eventually the whole world would become the Kingdom of Israel and God’s Kingdom on Earth, with justice; freedom; safety and prosperity for everyone, not just the strong, powerful and rich, like under men’s evil laws.

However, they broke their promise and The Covenant and allowed greedy; selfish; evil people, from amongst their own nation, to make up their own laws; economics and customs, to make the Commandments of God of no effect. Because of this going away from God’s Laws and Economic Policy, given in the Books of Moses (the first five Books of the Bible), and turning to man’s laws, the people became slaves again. This time they were not the slaves of foreigners but of the rich people whom they had allowed to make up laws to cheat them and make them poor and themselves rich – people from within their own nation.

So they had broken the contract and were not giving God’s Demonstration, as they had promised, and would not be able to help God to bring the Gentiles into the Kingdom, as there was nothing worth joining. The system had become no better than a gentile one.

The curse then came into force. Under The Covenant were blessings for keeping the contract and penalty clauses or “curses” for breaking the contract. As they had broken the contract they came under The Curse (penalty clause) and that curse was death, for the whole nation.

In 997 B.C. under David’s grandson Rehoboam, the son of Solomon; the Twelve Tribes of Israel fell-out with each other and split-up into two separate kingdoms, with two separate kings and they lived side by side but in two separate countries, called Israel and Judaea. The twelve tribes divided into the ten-tribed “House of Israel” who lived in Israel in the Northern section of the Holy Land under king Jeroboam and the two-tribed “House of Judah” who lived in Judaea, in the South of the Holy Land, under the sovereignty of Solomon’s son, king Rehoboam, with whom Jacob’s Pillar (the British Coronation Stone) and The Ark of the Covenant remained.

The Northern kingdom was called Israel and its capital city was Samaria. The Southern kingdom was called Judaea and its capital was Jerusalem. The ten Northern tribes of the “House of Israel” were taken from the Holy Land into slavery by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. as a punishment from God under the curse of The Law for not keeping the Covenant, where they lost their true identity as Israel, becoming the “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel”, and later spread throughout Europe and to the British Isles where some remained, while others later spread to the United States of America and throughout the Commonwealth.

The Jewish people claim their descent from the two-tribed “House of Judah” (Jew-dah), hence their name Jew. So all true racial Jews are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews. Just as, for example, all Scottish people are British but not all of the British people are Scottish.

The Two Tribed “House of Judah” were later taken from the Holy Land into Slavery in Babylon by king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in c.588 B.C., for the same reasons the “House of Israel” were taken into Slavery by the Assyrians – for not keeping the Covenant, and the Kingdom was overturned from Jerusalem to Ireland in c.588 B.C., where some of the “Lost Tribes” of the “House of Israel” had settled.   A remnant of the “House of Judah” were finally allowed to return to the land of Israel. They rebuilt the Temple of Solomon and re-established their society, but this time came under the dominion of the Romans and were again later cast out in 70 A.D.

By this time the Israelites had already sold themselves back into slavery, and poverty, lost their homeland and death was to follow. So, once again the nation needed to be freed from slavery and death, just like in the Passover in Egypt, 1500 years before.

As The Covenant came into being because Abraham did not withhold his “miracle” son Isaac, the only way to save the entire nation from death, was for God to annul (cancel) the contract and the only way He could do that, was by sacrificing His own “miracle” Son from the “Virgin-birth”, unless the nation accepted His Son’s Sovereignty and returned to His Laws and their duty under the Old Covenant, accepted at Sinai, in Horeb.

This they refused to do, so the contract had to be canceled and the only way to do that was for God’s Son to be sacrificed, instead of the whole nation.

The New Contract (Testament) then came into existence for those who wanted life and freedom. It was necessary to sacrifice “The Lamb” to free the people from slavery, poverty and death under the curse and under men’s evil laws, and return them to freedom, under God’s Laws, in the Bible, once again; under the New Covenant (Testament).

Anyone who has not signed up for The New Covenant, or is not fulfilling it in minute detail, is still under the penalty clauses of the Old Covenant (the death sentence) and are known as and are referred to by Christ as “The Dead” (Matt. 8:22).

Jesus came to abolish the priesthood except for himself alone as the sole representative of the priesthood, being both High-Priest and King, after the order of Melchizedek. He told his followers including the apostles and it is written in the Gospel of Matthew, that they must not be priests (rabbi) and must not be called father (Matt. 23:8-10).

The Jewish priesthood refused to accept Jesus saying that Jesus was not a Levite and so could not become High-priest. But God tells us and it is written in both the New Covenant and in the Holy Koran that the Virgin Mary was from both the line of David and also from the Levitical line of Aaron, being the cousin of Elizabeth (a Levite) and the daughter of Ann, who was from both the British royal family – the line of David and also from the line of Aaron (Moses’ brother, who was the first High-priest of Israel). We are also told by God (not Mohammed) in the Holy Koran that Mary did, in fact, give birth to Jesus whilst still a virgin and that she traveled from her home in the West (Britain) to the East (Israel) to give birth to the miracle-son. After The Crucifixion, during The Persecution of Christ’s true followers, Mary returned home to Britain, with her rich uncle Joseph of Arimathea, for safety and to spread the Gospel to “The Lost Sheep of The House of Israel” a.k.a The Ten “lost” Tribes in Britain, where both Mary and Joseph of Arimathea are buried and where Jesus grew up.

Jesus told his true followers, and it is written, that they must not go to church and must not pray in church or in public, as the hypocrites do (Matt. 6:5-6). He also abolished vicarious sacrifice and taught in its place the crucifixion of the sinful nature of the self, enjoining his followers to be perfect, as their Father in heaven is perfect. (Matt 5:21-48).

Therefore the parts of The Old Covenant that relate to the priesthood, churches and vicarious animal sacrifices, for redemption from sin, are now obsolete.

Let us now see how this affects the Law of Moses written in Deuteronomy. It does not affect the national and moral Law, in any way, exactly as Jesus himself stated clearly, and it is written, again in the Gospel of Matthew:-

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the lawyers and politicians (who were also priests because the church and the state were one at that time), ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven.

Therefore the death penalty for certain crimes still stands today along with the rest of The Law as a deterrent to the committing of those crimes. If the deterrent is removed then those crimes will automatically be committed, and increase, along with a breakdown of order, leading to even more crime.

Before anyone is tempted to quote the Gospel of John chapter 8 and The Adulterous Woman story, for an excuse, I must point out that this story did not appear in the original New Testament and was added a long time later by powerful people who wanted to get away with committing adultery. If it had happened then it could not have been as it is written because Jesus came to uphold The Law not to break it, as he stated clearly. It could only have been a permissible act of compassion because the woman was truly repentant and because her husband begged for her to be spared and did not want to press charges against her, otherwise Jesus could not have pardoned her. There can be absolutely no remission of sins without true and complete repentance.

The millions of people who misquote the letters of Paul and say that The Law itself was abolished, and that everyone can therefore break The Law with impunity, just as long as they say the words “I believe that Jesus is the Son of God”, are mistaken.  When Paul said that Jesus had saved everyone from the curse of The Law he was referring to the Penalty Clauses of The Covenant which are clearly stated by Moses in Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”

Therefore, and to summarize, the only God given Right to the Land of Israel is completely dependent upon the keeping of The Covenant and God’s Law. It is not in any way dependent upon genealogy alone and the Jews and Zionists of today, who are not keeping the Covenant and God’s Law, have absolutely no rightful claim over the ancient land of Israel.

5. The Birth of the CIA and the Transfer of Nazi agents to the US in Operation Paper-Clip.

In their national best seller Secret War against the Jews, authors Loftes and Aarons reveal indisputable evidence that Hitler’s top Nazi general, General Reinhardt Gehlen, transferred his entire network of Nazi spies and double agents to Fort Hunt, Virginia, to join America’s newly formed CIA. This highly secretive operation was code-named operation Paper-Clip. And included Holocaust mastermind Otto Skorzeny, Hitler’s personal friend and favorite SS colonel.

Since its illegitimate birth at the close of WW2, the CIA has always represented the interests of the International Bankers, not the American people.

Nelson Rockefeller, who became US vice president, and Allen Dulles, who became CIA director, erased the Nazi past of hundreds of Nazi spies and scientists who they smuggled into the United States. Others were smuggled into Canada and South America along Rockefeller’s Rat Line, using Vatican passports and money. Rockefeller was also guilty of supplying South American oil to Nazi subs that sunk American ships and killed American service-men. The Jewish Zionists spied on Rockefeller’s treasonous activities and then black-mailed him. In exchange for the Zionist’s silence, Rockefeller agreed to arrange for enough votes from a Latin American nation, to guarantee Israel’s membership in the United Nations.

The sad truth, say Loftes and Aarons, is that the Jewish Zionists bought those extra votes with the blood of millions of Jewish Holocaust victims.

Christopher Stimpson’s book called Blowback, exposes recently declassified information on America’s recruitment of Nazi war criminals to the CIA. Nazi rocket scientist Bonier Von Bron, who built German rockets and dropped them on London, was also put on the new CIA payroll. Von Bron and his team of Nazi rocketeers were sent to Huntsville, Alabama. Hollywood honored Von Bron as a collaborator on an American Sci-fi movie and series of Walt Disney shows.

6. The Cold War, Korea and Vietnam

The International Bankers and the men who serve them had won control of the British, American, and Russian nations, by seizing control of the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve Bank of America and by wiping-out the Russian Zars.

But the ultimate goal of the Bankers is to win the world game. Their devious game-plan was to divide the world into two warring power-blocks. The western capitalist block, lead by the United States, and the eastern communist block, lead by Russia.

Their next move was to transfer atomic weapons secrets to the Russian communist block, through Victor Rothschild, who is the ringleader in Britain’s biggest communist spy scandal. And through J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project’s leading atomic scientist.

In September 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first A-bomb. America’s monopoly on atomic weapons ended after only 4 years. Now, both super-powers had the means to destroy the world.

The next step was to stage a phony arms race and cold war, between the first world capitalist block and the second world communist block.

Like sports teams, the US and Russian super-powers needed recruits for their war games. So they forced new third-world members of the United Nations to choose sides. American secretary of state John Foster Dulles warned third world countries that you are either with us, or against us.

Korea and Vietnam were torn up like rags into half communist, half capitalist countries. And became the playing-field for phony war games between the International Bank’s super-powers.

The lives of 4 million Korean civilians and 33,000 American solders were sacrificed in the 1950 Korean War, bringing the Bankers another step closer to world domination.

Like Korea, Vietnam was split in to north and South Vietnam and became their next target.  In 1954, the US military dropped millions of tons of bombs on undefended Vietnamese civilians, and turned their lush green countryside into blood soaked killing fields.

It was a butcherous campaign, of terror, rape, torture, lies and cover-ups. The US military, who had already tested two radio-active atomic weapons of mass destruction on the people of Japan, decided to test their chemical weapons of mass destruction on the people of Vietnam.

70 million liters of chemical weapons of mass destruction were sprayed over the Vietnamese people, their water and their countryside. The most lethal was Agent Orange. Which defoliated, killed and contaminated everything in its path, like a radio-active atomic bomb.

To this day, survivors suffer related cancers, genetic deformities, and permanent environmental damage.

Many US service-men publicly confessed to their crimes and suffered haunting flash-backs.

In spite of massive US anti-war protests, President Nixon increased the US military presence in Vietnam to half a million solders in 1969. It was noble peace prize winner Henry Kissinger who convinced Nixon to expand the Vietnam War to the neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos, causing the mass murder of another 1 million innocent people and their families.

On May 4th, 1970, America got a wake-up call. Six peaceful student anti-war demonstrators in Kent state and Jackson state universities were shot dead by US armed guards, while dozens of others were wounded. The message came through loud and clear. The power of the US military could turn its weapons on its own citizens.

7. The Birth of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

In 1947 the US played host to an international conference at Breton Woods to put an end to world poverty and starvation, caused by WW2. The idea was to give humanitarian loans to needy nations, by creating a World Bank and International Monetary Fund. But who would be put in charge of these billion dollar mega-loans?  Who else but the US Federal Reserve, International Banker families.

Putting the US Federal Reserve bankers in charge of humanitarian loans is like putting pedophiles in charge of day-care centers. Instead of helping the poor, the bankers turned the World Bank and international monetary fund into international pawn shops and robbed the poor. Just to qualify for a loan, desperate nations were forced to pawn their mines, forests, rail-ways, power companies and water-systems and agree to over 100 loan conditions at loan-shark interest rates. To pay-off their loans, they were forced to ignore laws that protected their environment, to lower wages, cut back on their education and health care.

They were also forced to privatize and sell-off their resources to multi-national corporations.

When poor nations were unable to pay-off their loans, they were given new loans to pay off their old loans, but the so-called bail-out loans weren’t about bailing-out the poor. They were about lining the pockets of loan underwriters like City Group and America’s most notorious crooks and bankers.

As desperately poor nations got poorer and poorer, the filthy rich bankers got richer and richer. And God help anyone who got in their way.

Davison Butho, senior economist at the international monetary fund resigned to quote “wash my hands of the blood of millions of poor and starving people.”

When President John F Kennedy tried to take back America, by reviving US government printed money, his head was blown-off in a Dallas motorcade.

When his son planned to expose the ugly truth about his father’s assassination, his small plane plunged into the ocean, killing all onboard.

8. The Financing of the War on Terror.

Before the first plane hit the first tower on 911, a massive US, British and NATO troop build-up was already organized and positioned for an attack against Israel’s enemies: Opium rich Afghanistan and Oil rich Iraq.

With no solid proof of who was responsible for 911, George Bush jr. attacked poverty strickened and war ravished Afghanistan only 4 weeks after 911. The US and British military dropped 12,000 bombs on thousands of buildings and homes, pounding them into dust and rubble and killing 8,000 Afghan people. 20,000 more people died from war related cold, starvation and disease.

The US-British war on Afghanistan left behind millions of starving people.

There can never be peace and democracy in Afghanistan. Because peace and democracy would expose and cut off America’s Opium and Heroin supply at the source.

So what was the pay-off for the US-British war on Afghanistan?
1. The uncooperative Taliban warlords got kicked out and replaced by the cooperative Northern Alliance war lords.
2. Opium and Heroin production and revenues sky-rocketed.
3. Afghanistan got a new leader called Hammed Karzai, who just happens to be an ex-employee of Unical oil.
4. America got permission to build their oil and gas pipe-line through Afghanistan.
5. The Bush administration’s favorite excuse for war, Osama bin Laden, was allowed to escape.

America’s second favorite excuse for war, Saddam Hussein, has always been America’s patsy. In the 1980′s America supported Iraq’s invasion of its neighbor Iran, to stop the spread of Iran’s Islamic Revolution. America played both sides of the Iran-Iraq war by supplying Saddam with chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. While at the same time, America secretly sold weapons to Iran and illegally diverted the money to the contra-revolutionaries in Central America.

In 1990, President George Bush snr. tricked Iraq into another war, with another oil rich neighbor, Kuwait. How? By supplying Kuwait with horizontal drills which could reach beneath the border with Iraq and siphon oil from Iraq’s rich oil-fields. Kuwait used the US made drills to steal three hundred thousand barrels of oil per day from Iraq, worth over three billion dollars annually.

George Bush snr. officially promised not to interfere with Iraq’s legitimate oil battle with Kuwait, but when Saddam’s army entered Kuwait to defend their oil reserves, Bush pounced on them.

America disposed of its toxic waste problem by building radio active depleted uranium right into their munitions and spreading them across Iraq. Bush snr. not only devastated and poisoned Iraq’s water systems and infrastructure, he weakened the economies of both Kuwait and Iraq, collected giant profits from rationed Iraq food for oil programs and landed massive rebuilding contracts in Kuwait. Bush snr. followed up the gulf war with ten long years of trade sanctions that killed another 1.5 million Iraqi people, including 600,000 children who were cut off from medical supplies.

In March 2003 president George Bush jnr. launched the 2nd Gulf War. The second war on Iraq wasn’t about revenge for 9-11, since not one of the 19 accused terrorists were Iraqi citizens. It wasn’t about weapons of mass destruction, which inspectors hadn’t found. It wasn’t even about Saddam Hussein who had been financed into power by the US in the first place and who got his chemical and biological weapons from American Companies.

No. The US wars against Iraq and Afghanistan were about mass murder and piracy. They were about big weapons sales, big oil, big pipelines, big drugs, and big rebuilding contracts.

They were about colonizing the Middle East and moving two giant steps closer to world domination.

The theft and devastation of the ancient land of Iraq by the US government, closely resembles the theft and devastation of Palestine by the Israeli government.

If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say. this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.

While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.

Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.

And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!

How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims, claiming that

they’re responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that’s not “duress” than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is.

How did I get here?

My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ’80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.

The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned thatthere are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.

That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+. 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.

Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”), I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of becoming an independent engineer.

On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father. I realized this at a very young age.

The significance of independence, however, came much later during my early years of college; at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbor was an elderly retired woman (80+ seemed ancient to me at that age) who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker. Her husband had worked all his life in the steel mills of

central Pennsylvania with promises from big business and the union that, for his 30 years of service, he would have a pension and medical care to look forward to in his retirement. Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the incompetent mill management and corrupt union (not to mention the government) raided their pension funds and stole their retirement. All she had was social security to live on.

In retrospect, the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread (or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge) for months at a time. When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own (I, after all, I thought I had everything to in front of me). I was genuinely appalled at one point, as we exchanged stories and commiserated with each other over our situations, when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food (like her) rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread. I couldn’t quite go there, but the impression was made. I decided that I didn’t trust big business to take care of me, and that I would take responsibility for my own future and myself.

Return to the early ’80s, and here I was off to a terrifying start as a ‘wet-behind-the-ears’ contract software engineer… and two years later, thanks to the fine backroom, midnight effort by the sleazy executives of Arthur Andersen (the very same folks who later brought us Enron and other such calamities) and an equally sleazy New York Senator (Patrick Moynihan), we saw the passage of 1986 tax reform act with its section 1706.

For you who are unfamiliar, here is the core text of the IRS Section 1706, defining the treatment of workers (such as contract engineers) for tax purposes. Visit this link for a conference committee report (http://www.synergistech.com /1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport) regarding the intended interpretation of Section 1706 and the relevant parts of Section 530, as amended. For information on how these laws affect technical services workers and their clients, read our discussion here (http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml).

SEC. 1706. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.

(a) IN GENERAL – Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 is amended by
adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:

(d) EXCEPTION. – This section shall not apply in the case of an individual who pursuant to an arrangement between the taxpayer and another person, provides services for such other person as an engineer, designer, drafter, computerprogrammer, systems analyst, or other similarly skilled worker engaged in a similar line of work.

(b) EFFECTIVE DATE. – The amendment made by this section shall apply to
remuneration paid and services rendered after December 31, 1986.

Note:

■ “another person” is the client in the traditional job-shop relationship.

• “taxpayer” is the recruiter, broker, agency, or job shop.
• “individual”, “employee”, or “worker” is you.

Admittedly, you need to read the treatment to understand what it is saying but it’s not very complicated. The bottom line is that they may as well have put my name right in the text of section (d). Moreover, they could only have been more blunt if they would have came out and directly declared me a criminal and non-citizen slave. Twenty years later, I still can’t believe my eyes.

During 1987, I spent close to $5000 of my ‘pocket change’, and at least 1000 hours of my time writing, printing, and mailing to any senator, congressman, governor, or slug that might listen; none did, and they universally treated me as if I was wasting their time. I spent countless hours on the LA. freeways driving to meetings and any and all of the disorganized professional groups who were attempting to mount a campaign against this atrocity. This, only to discover that our efforts were being easily derailed by a few moles from the brokers who were just beginning to enjoy the windfall from the new declaration of their “freedom”. Oh, and don’t forget, for all of the time I was spending on this, I was loosing income that I couldn’t bill clients.

After months of struggling it had clearly gotten to be a futile exercise. The best we could get for all of our trouble is a pronouncement from an IRS mouthpiece that they weren’t going to enforce that provision (read harass engineers and scientists). This immediately proved to be a lie, and the mere existence of the regulation began to have its impact on my bottom line; this, of course, was the intended effect.

Again, rewind my retirement plans back to 0 and shift them into idle. If I had any sense, I clearly should have left abandoned engineering and never looked back.

Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn’t need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that. The result was economic devastation in the region that rivaled the widely publicized Texas S&L fiasco. However, because the government caused it, no one gave a shit about all of the young families who lost their homes or street after street of boarded up houses abandoned to the wealthy loan companies who received government funds to “shore up” their windfall. Again. I lost my retirement.

Years later, after weathering a divorce and the constant struggle trying to build some momentum with my business, I find myself once again beginning to finally pick up some speed. Then came the .COM bust and the 911 nightmare. Our leaders decided that all aircraft were grounded for what seemed like an eternity; and long after that, ‘special’ facilities like San Francisco were on security alert for months. This made access to my customers prohibitively expensive. Ironically, after what they had done the Government came to the aid of the airlines with

billions of our tax dollars … as usual they left me to rot and die while they bailed out their rich, incompetent cronies WITH MY MONEY! After these events, there went my business but not quite yet all of my retirement and savings.

By this time, I’m thinking that it might be good for a change. Bye to California, I’ll try Austin for a while. So I moved, only to find out that this is a place with a highly inflated sense of self-importance and where damn little real engineering work is done. I’ve never experienced such a hard time finding work. The rates are 1/3 of what I was earning before the crash, because pay rates here are fixed by the three or four large companies in the area who are in collusion to drive down prices and wages… and this happens because the justice department is all on the take and doesn’t give a fuck about serving anyone or anything but themselves and their rich buddies.

To survive, I was forced to cannibalize my savings and retirement, the last of which was a small IRA. This came in a year with mammoth expenses and not a single dollar of income. I filed no return that year thinking that because I didn’t have any income there was no need. The sleazy government decided that they disagreed. But they didn’t notify me in time for me to launch a legal objection so when I attempted to get a protest filed with the court I was told I was no longer entitled to due process because the time to file ran out. Bend over for another $10,000 helping of justice.

So now we come to the present. After my experience with the CPA world, following the business crash I swore that I’d never enter another accountant’s office again. But here I am with a new marriage and a boatload of undocumented income, not to mention an expensive new business asset, a piano, which I had no idea how to handle. After considerable thought I decided that it would be irresponsible NOT to get professional help; a very big mistake.

When we received the forms back I was very optimistic that they were in order. I had taken all of the years information to Bill Ross, and he came back with results very similar to what I was expecting. Except that he had neglected to include the contents of Sheryl’s unreported income; $12,700 worth of it. To make matters worse, Ross knew all along this was missing and I didn’t have a clue until he pointed it out in the middle of the audit. By that time it had become brutally evident that he was representing himself and not me.

This left me stuck in the middle of this disaster trying to defend transactions that

have no relationship to anything tax-related (at least the tax-related transactions were poorly documented). Things I never knew anything about and things my wife had no clue would ever matter to anyone. The end result is… well, just look around.

I remember reading about the stock market crash before the “great” depression and how there were wealthy bankers and businessmen jumping out of windows when they realized they screwed up and lost everything. Isn’t it ironic how far we’ve come in 60 years in this country that they now know how to fix that little economic problem; they just steal from the middle class (who doesn’t have any

say in it, elections are a joke) to cover their asses and it’s “business-as-usual”. Now when the wealthy fuck up, the poor get to die for the mistakes… isn’t that a clever, tidy solution.

As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.

I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass. I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.

I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.

I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stopthis insanity. Well, Mr Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

Ignorant citizens elect ignorant leaders, it’s as simple as that. And term limits don’t help. All you do is get a new bunch of ignorant leaders. So maybe it’s not the politicians who suck; maybe it’s something else. Like the public.

That would be a nice realistic campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The public sucks. Fuck hope. Fuck hope.’

Put the blame where it belongs: on the people.

I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around.

They say, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”, but where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote — who did not even leave the house on Election Day — am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created.”

We have seen the cross of fixed exchange rates in fiat money. A few years back, Indian exporters were taking a hit as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) didn’t allow Indian Rupee to freely fluctuate against other currencies. The Rupee, which was overvalued, appreciated considerably against the Dollar. This happened not just in India. As Henry Hazlitt noted in “Will Dollars Save the World?”, this was the policy followed by most European countries. Mostly Governments overvalued their currency, which led to a surplus of the overvalued currency and a shortage of the undervalued currency. This is an illustrations of the often misunderstood “Gresham’s Law”. Gresham’s law states that “artificially overvalued money drives out of circulation artificially undervalued money”.(The definition that bad money drives out good is misleading, to say the least) The end result is commonly known as a “Dollar shortage”, accompanied with cries for dollar aid and rationing of imports. This policy has changed in course of time. Some countries follow the exact opposite policy-undervaluing their currency.

Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column, has pointed our attention towards China, which has pegged its currency at about 6.8 Yuan to the Dollar. China has a currency peg for a long time. This, Krugman says, is predatory leaving the Chinese manufacturers with a large cost advantage over its rivals, leading to huge trade surpluses. Krugman calls for protectionism to deal with the Chinese policy. The Yuan is undervalued, which makes price of exports low in terms of dollar. Foreigners find imports less expensive and exports more expensive. The Yuan, however, floats against other currencies.

It is important to see why it happens. Imagine that a good sells at 35 Yuan in China. Let’s assume that the free market rate for Yuan is 3.5 Yuan. On a free market, that good would cost 10 Dollars. But, as a result of controls, one has to pay only 5 dollars. This makes exports from China cheaper for American consumers. The price is lowered by nearly 50%. So, it should be obvious that the Americans would want to import more from China in such a situation. In the same way, a good that costs $10 in the United States has a free market price of 35 Yuan. But, as a result of controls, the Chinese will have to pay 68 Dollars. That’s an increase of nearly 100%. As a result the Chinese would want to import less from the United States. It is almost as if in China, an import duty of around 100% is levied on American products. Who would want to buy American products at such a high price? This helps the exporting community in China at the expense of Chinese consumers and certain American producers.

Sounds economics tells us that if the Chinese government allows Yuan to appreciate, it would put a break on the inflationary boom. It would contain domestic inflation in China. It would also bring down the pressure on the US government to erect protectionist barriers. It is in the self interest of China, not of the Unites States, to change its policies for good. Contrary to what Krugman wrote, China’s policies don’t pose a threat to the world. China is not “stealing” other people’s jobs. This is not to say that China’s currency policy is good. It unfairly punishes Chinese consumers, to whom the prices of American products appear high. Probably, things will change in the near future. Some economists, including Surjit Bhalla, has predicted that China’s exchange rate will appreciate significantly starting 2010. Bhalla expects a first year appreciation to about 6 Yuan per dollar from the present 6.8 level.

Krugman is of the opinion that China doesn’t act like other major economies in its currency policy. This is a half truth. It is true that most major currencies float against each other. But, most countries peg their currency against some major currencies. Moreover, Yuan floats against many other currencies, which has caused both appreciation and depreciation in the recent past. It should also be said that Yuan is stronger against the dollar than when China put a rein on its appreciation. Is Krugman justified in his claim that Chinese policy causes unemployment in the United States? It is true that some people in the US will lose jobs as of a slackening in exports, but a reduction in overall employment will be brought about only by coercive labor policy. Some producers might make losses, but it will be largely offset by the gains of consumers, which they will save or spend.

Donald Boudreaux has written a wonderful piece on “Freeman”, attacking the protectionist position. Protectionists, he says, abhor the fact that Americans are importing more from China. The policies of foreign countries make them uncomfortable. He rightly points out that the low priced Yuan will make Chinese products cheaper to American consumers. This doesn’t help the Chinese and harm Americans. Quite the contrary, in fact! It harms the Chinese economy, and helps the United States and other countries which trade with China. Protectionism would only prevent goods from being produced in a cost-effective manner. The theory of comparative advantage tells us that free trade would lead to resources being used in the most efficient way. Boudreaux illustrates the principle with a simple example. His elementary school used to sell tickets in a fund raising fair. These tickets could be exchanged for various items students want to purchase. What if the school had undervalued the tickets? Would it help the school? Obviously not! It would have helped the students at the expense of the school. Students would be able to buy more items at a lower price. So, things should be obvious by now.

Krugman doesn’t see anything necessarily wrong with the policy other than that the Chinese Government has fixed an unreasonably rate. He is wrong there too. The issue has become too contentious that there are more than two sides to it. One side believes in Government’s supreme wisdom to set the exchange rate. The other sides, mostly monetarists call for a free market in exchange rates. “Why should the Government fix the price of gold?” they ask. While freely fluctuating currencies are better than fixed exchange rates in fiat money, to call for a free market as a final solution is absurd. Advocates of a gold standard rightly understand that gold lies in the vault of the central bank, and to denationalize it, the Government should set a value so that it is possible to exchange it, one for one, for the currency claims on gold.

Exchange rates are, ideally, not to be arbitrarily set by the government, or to be left to the market to decide. Each currency should be strictly defined in terms of gold, and fixed permanently that it is interchangeable and redeemable at that weight. When done so, each and every currency would be anchored to each other at a fixed exchange rate, that seasonal fluctuations wouldn’t wreak havoc on the export or import communities. The maintenance of fluctuating exchange rates and protectionism would only reduce the incentives to innovate and hence impede it.
