What is America Going To Look Like?

July 16, 2012 10:15 am Comments (0) Author: The Economic Collapse Blog

Do you want to see where this country is headed? If so, don’t focus on the few areas that are still very prosperous. New York City has Wall Street, Washington D.C. has the federal government and Silicon Valley has Google and Facebook. Those are the exceptions. The reality is that most of the country has been experiencing a slow decline for a very long time and once thriving cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan have become absolute hellholes. They are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon. 60 years ago, most Americans were decent, hard working people and there were always good jobs available for anyone that was willing to roll up his or her sleeves and put in an honest day of work. But now all of that has changed. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities have shut down and millions of jobs have left the country. Cities such as Cleveland, Baltimore and Detroit were once shining examples of everything that was right about America, but now they stand out like festering sores. The “blue collar cities” have been hit the hardest by the gutting of our economic infrastructure. There are many communities in America today where it seems like all of the hope and all of the life have been sucked right out of them. You can see it in the eyes of the people. The good times are gone permanently and they know it. Unfortunately, the remainder of the country will soon be experiencing the despair that those communities are feeling.
The following are 12 hellholes that are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon….
#1 Gary, Indiana
Gary, Indiana was once a great industrial city.
Today, it is one of the ten most dangerous cities in America, and the population has fallen by about 50 percent.
The following is from a recent Daily Mail article….

Frequently rated one of the ten most dangerous cities in the United States, Gary once boomed with jobs and opportunities but now faces the acute difficulties of America’s growing rust belt, with 22 percent of families in the once-great city now lying below the poverty line.
This modern American ghost town began life as home for workers at the United States Steel Corporation plant until economic competition from abroad forced a 90 percent job cut.

It is hard to describe what is happening to Gary without using the word “depressing”. You can watch a great video that shows what Gary, Indiana looks like these days right here.
This is what happens when industry leaves and there are no jobs. Gary has become a wasteland and there is essentially no hope for a turnaround.
The following is how James Kunstler described what he experienced when he traveled through Gary, Indiana recently….

Between the ghostly remnants of factories stood a score of small cities and neighborhoods where the immigrants settled five generations ago. A lot of it was foreclosed and shuttered. They were places of such stunning, relentless dreariness that you felt depressed just imagining how depressed the remaining denizens of these endless blocks of run-down shoebox houses must feel. Judging from the frequency of taquerias in the 1950s-vintage strip-malls, one inferred that the old Eastern European population had been lately supplanted by a new wave of Mexicans. They had inherited an infrastructure for daily life that was utterly devoid of conscious artistry when it was new, and now had the special patina of supernatural rot over it that only comes from materials not found in nature disintegrating in surprising and unexpected ways, sometimes even sublimely, like the sheen of an oil slick on water at a certain angle to the sun. There was a Chernobyl-like grandeur to it, as of the longed-for end of something enormous that hadn’t worked out well.

Sadly, Gary is far from alone. There are a whole host of other formerly great U.S. cities that are degenerating into hellholes as well.
#2 Chicago, Illinois
There is something truly special about Chicago. Most of America loved the Bears of the Walter Payton era, the Bulls of the Michael Jordan era and the Cubs of the Ernie Banks era. Chicago is also known for great architecture and great pizza.
But these days “the windy city” is becoming known for other things.
The murder rate in Chicago is up 38 percent so far this year, and the recent spike in violence in the city has made national headlines.
As I noted the other day, there are only about 200 police officers in Chicago’s Gang Enforcement Unit to deal with an estimated 100,000 gang members.
That means that those officers are outnumbered 500 to 1, and more gang members pour into the city every single day.
The escalating violence in Chicago was detailed in a recent article in the Telegraph….

“This is a block-to-block war here, a different dynasty on every street,” said a dreadlocked young man heavily inked in gang tattoos who calls himself “Killer”.
“All the black brothers just want to get rich, but we got no jobs and no hope. We want the violence to stop but you ain’t safe if you ain’t got your pistol with you. Too many friends, too many men are being killed. We don’t even cry at funerals no -more. Nobody expects to live past 21 here.”
The victims and killers are mainly black males aged between 15 and 35, often with gang affiliations – but not exclusively. A seven-year-old girl, Heaven Sutton, was buried this month after being gunned down at her mother’s street sweet store. And last week, two girls aged 12 and 13 were shot and badly-wounded as they walked home from a newly-opened community centre.

If you are thinking of moving to Chicago, you might want to think again.
#3 Detroit, Michigan
I have written repeatedly about Detroit because it is a perfect example of what the rest of America is going to look like soon.
Once upon a time it was regarded as one of the top manufacturing cities the world had ever seen, but today it has become a total hellhole.
There are very few decent jobs available, poverty has exploded and crime is everywhere.
If you can believe it, 53.6% of all children in Detroit are living in poverty, and only25 percent of all students in Detroit graduate from high school at this point.
And as I wrote about recently, justifiable homicide in Detroit increased by a whopping 79 percent during 2011, and the rate of self-defense killings in Detroit is now approximately 2200% above the national average.
Is it any wonder that you can still buy a house for $100 in some areas of Detroit?
The truth is that many areas of Detroit now resemble a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Perhaps that is why one team of investors actually wants to turn some of the worst areas of Detroit into a zombie theme park….

Derelict areas of Detroit face being taken over by hordes of ‘flesh and brain-eating zombies’ if an ambitious business plan takes off.
Entrepreneur Mark Siwak wants to create live-action terror theme park ‘Z World’ on Motor City’s run-down and abandoned streets.
Customers would pay to be chased by professional actors and try to seek shelter in ghostly homes, factories and businesses.

You can see some great video of the “ruins of Detroit” right here.
#4 Stockton, California
Stockton is one of the ten most dangerous cities in America and it recently made national headlines when it declared bankruptcy.
Unfortunately, as spending on law enforcement has declined it has given the criminals a lot more room to operate in Stockton. The following is from a recentBusiness Insider article….

The city has cut more than $90 million in spending over the past few years, specifically in its police department. The city has cut over one quarter of its police jobs, which has led to a “surge in murders,” and has created an “emboldened criminal element” in the city. According to police spokesman Joe Silva, the city has had 87 murders since the start of 2011, 29 of which have already occurred this year. In contrast, there were 35 murders in 2009 and 48 in 2010. With six months left in the year, there have already been more murders in the city since the start of 2011 than the two-year stretch of 2009-2010.

A while back in Stockton a billboard was put up with the following message: “Welcome to the 2nd most dangerous city in California. Stop laying off cops.”
#5 Flint, Michigan
Flint, Michigan is a city that Michael Moore has made famous. Flint once supported hordes of middle class workers thanks to a thriving auto industry, but today it is a just a rotting shell. It looks like a war went through it and nobody bothered to clean up the mess.
At this point, the murder rate in Flint, Michigan is worse than the murder rate in Baghdad. That is how nightmarish things have become in Flint.
The following is from an article in the New York Times….

It’s not that the cops here are scared; it’s just that they’re outmanned, outgunned and flat broke.
Flint is the birthplace of General Motors and the home of the U.A.W.’s first big strike. In case you didn’t know this, the words “Vehicle City” are spelled out on the archway spanning the Flint River.
But the name is a lie. Flint isn’t Vehicle City anymore. The Buick City complex is gone. The spark-plug plant is gone. Fisher Body is gone.
What Flint is now is one of America’s murder capitals. Last year in Flint, population 102,000, there were 66 documented murders. The murder rate here is worse than those in Newark and St. Louis and New Orleans. It’s even worse than Baghdad’s.

Politicians love to go to Flint and make speeches, but things never get any better. The following are comments that Joe Biden made about Flint, Michigan during a recent speech he gave to promote a jobs bill….

“In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don’t rectify it.”

But don’t look down on Flint – these kinds of conditions are coming to where you live soon enough.
#6 West Philly
Did you know that 36.4% of all children that live in Philadelphia are living in poverty?
There are some sections of Philadelphia that are actually very nice, but there are others that look like society has forgotten about them for decades.
A recent article by Jim Quinn entitled “More Than 30 Blocks Of Grey And Decay” described the depressing conditions in West Philadelphia. Quinn refers to his drive through this area as “the 30 Blocks of Squalor”….

The real unemployment rate exceeds 50%, murder is the number one industry, with drugs a close second.

But it was not always this way. Once upon a time, West Philly was actually a thriving area and was full of middle class families.
So what happened?
That is a very good question.
According to Quinn, the physical decay in West Philly is matched by the social decay….

The once proud homes are in shambles. Bags of garbage dot the landscape. Most of the people who live here are parasites on society. Personal responsibility, work ethic, education and marriage are unknown concepts in this community. Even though more than 50% of the students in West Philly drop out of high school and the SAT scores of West Philly High students are lower than whale ****, the bankrupt school district spent $70 million to build a new high school/prison to babysit derelicts and future prison inmates. The windows do not have steel bars yet, as the architect was smart to put all windows at least eight feet above street level.

These days there is a lot of despair in “the city of brotherly love”. It is so sad to see what is happening to what once was such a proud city.
#7 Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland has always had a love/hate relationship with itself. Many who live there call it “the mistake by the lake”, but the truth is that it was once a truly great city.
Sadly, today it is symbol of what has gone wrong with America.
There has been a steady stream of businesses that have left Cleveland and today52.6% of all children that live in Cleveland are living in poverty.
There are not enough good jobs in Cleveland anymore, and so there are not enough workers to buy the tens of thousands of homes that have been foreclosed or abandoned.
So what is being done with all of those empty homes?
Unfortunately, they are being torn down.
The following comes from a recent CBS News report by Scott Pelley….

Across America, recession-fueled foreclosures and plummeting home values have left countless properties abandoned and vulnerable to looting. As Scott Pelley reports, the problem has gotten so bad in Cleveland, Ohio, that county officials have demolished more than 1,000 homes this year – and plan to demolish 20,000 more – rather than let the blight spread and render nearby homes worthless.

Does that seem right to you?
Should Cleveland be destroying tens of thousands of homes that families could be using?
Something has gone very, very wrong in this country.
#8 Camden, New Jersey
If you want to see what a hellhole looks like just visit Camden, New Jersey.
Although you will probably want to take an armed escort with you.
As industry has abandoned Camden, the gangs have basically taken over. The “growth industries” in Camden these days are drug dealing and prostitution.
In an article entitled “City of Ruins“, reporter Chris Hedges described what life is like in Camden at this point….

There are perhaps a hundred open-air drug markets, most run by gangs like the Bloods, the Latin Kings, Los Nietos and MS-13. Knots of young men in black leather jackets and baggy sweatshirts sell weed and crack to clients, many of whom drive in from the suburbs. The drug trade is one of the city’s few thriving businesses. A weapon, police say, is never more than a few feet away, usually stashed behind a trash can, in the grass or on a porch.

Not that other cities in New Jersey are shining examples for the rest of the world either.
For example, if you want to get really depressed just drive through the bad parts of Newark some time.
#9 St. Louis, Missouri
According to U.S. News and World Report, the most dangerous city in the United States is St. Louis.
If you have a death wish, just wander around the streets of East St. Louis at night.
There is a decent chance that someone will shoot you.
Things were not always this way in St. Louis. But today things have gotten so bad that you can find packs of wild dogs roaming the city digging through trash and threatening children.
The following is from a report by the local CBS affiliate in St. Louis….

…Lewis Reed is sounding the alarm. “I’ve witnessed packs of dogs, 10 and 15 dogs running together, and I’ve seen all these dogs I’m talking about they don’t have collars, they don’t have tags, these are truly wild dogs,” he said.
Reed says stray dogs are terrorizing the north side. “It’s obscene that parents have to walk their kids to school, in some parts of the city, with a golf club to fend off wild dogs.”

This kind of thing is actually happening in America?
#10 New Orleans, Louisiana
The problems that New Orleans has experienced have been well documented.
But unlike most of the cities listed above, at least New Orleans has an excuse. New Orleans permanently lost 29% of its population after Hurricane Katrina, and large sections of the city were essentially destroyed by that storm.
Even today, there are still some areas of New Orleans that look as if they have just been bombed.
It has been estimated that about 20 percent of the homes in New Orleans are still standing vacant, and poverty is rampant. New Orleans will probably never fully recover to the level it was at before Hurricane Katrina hit.
#11 Oakland, California
Oakland has always been in the shadow of San Francisco, and the contrast between the two cities continues to grow.
Oakland has always been considered one of the more dangerous cities in America, and this year crime rates in Oakland are rising rapidly. The following is from a recent article in the New York Times….

At the beginning of April, murders in Oakland were up 26 percent over a year ago, rapes were up 41 percent, and robberies were up 35 percent.
When Chief Batts arrived as a “change agent” in 2009, the police department employed 837 officers. It now has 635. The department no longer responds to burglaries that are not still in progress, and frequently does not respond to other calls for help.

So if your house has been robbed and the burglars are gone what are you supposed to do?
Due to a crippling lack of resources, the previous police chief decided that his department would no longer be able to respond to all crimes.
The following is a partial list of the crimes that police in Oakland are no longer likely to respond to….

• burglary
• theft
• embezzlement
• grand theft
• grand theft: dog
• identity theft
• false information to peace officer
• required to register as sex or arson offender
• dump waste or offensive matter
• loud music
• possess forged notes
• pass fictitious check
• obtain money by false voucher
• fraudulent use of access cards
• stolen license plate
• embezzlement by an employee
• extortion
• attempted extortion
• false personification of other
• injure telephone/power line
• interfere with power line
• unauthorized cable tv connection
• vandalism

So what do you do if you are a victim of one of those crimes in Oakland?
That is a very good question.
#12 Baltimore, Maryland
If you can believe it, Baltimore was actually once a great city.
But today it has become a crime-ridden, drug-infested hellhole.
I used to drive up to Baltimore all the time. It truly is a “blue collar” city. There are a lot of really hard working people there.
Unfortunately, there are not nearly enough jobs for everyone and a lot of people have turned to drugs and crime.
There are some areas of Baltimore that you really should never enter by yourself. If you do go into them, you might not make it back out.
There was one incident in Baltimore earlier this year that was particularly disturbing.
One poor young man had gotten drunk and was apparently wandering around all by himself. Some thugs approached him and they clearly sensed that he was vulnerable. So they knocked him to the ground, stripped him of his car keys, his watch, his money, his cell phone and his clothes.
A crowd gathered around to watch, and instead of helping the man, several of them got out their cell phones and laughed hysterically while they recorded the incident with their cell phone cameras for YouTube.
What made all of this even sadder is that this happened right in front of a Baltimore courthouse.
What in the world has happened to this nation?
All of us that still love this country should be deeply saddened by everything above.
America is rotting from the inside out, and if we are ever going to find any solutions we need to start admitting how bad things have really become.
The truth is that our problems are not limited to one political party, one special interest group or to one region of the country. The social decay that is plaguing America can literally be found everywhere.
For much more on this, please see the following four articles….
1) “25 Signs The Collapse Of America Is Speeding Up As Society Rots From The Inside Out”
2) “70 Reasons To Mourn For America”
3) “20 Signs That Society Is Breaking Down And That America Has Been Overrun By Psychos”
4) “12 Factors That Are Turning The Streets Of America Into A Living Hell”
So don’t laugh at Detroit or Cleveland or St. Louis.
The rest of the country is declining too.
If the city where you live is not a hellhole already, it will be soon enough.

THE BEAUTIFUL FRIESIAN HORSE

Absolutely spectacular!  How can anyone in his right mind believe that these magnificent creatures just "evolved"?

Friesian Horses are known to be beautiful, versatile, athletic, kind, willing, and able to do anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5XJbSqwriM

Who is this person that occupies the White House ?

TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF THINGS SENATOR OBAMA SAID THAT AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT. 

1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY , your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.(Google 'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about  its various untruths.) ! !

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY , he was a privileged, well-educated youth, who went to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY , he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY ; Your cousin  Raila Odinga created mass violence in attempting to overturn a  legitimate election in 2007 in Kenya. It was the first widespread violence there  in decades.

The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to  overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to  speak to Odinga on the phone.

Check out the following link for verification  of that....and for more.

Obama's cousin Odinga ran for president in Kenya and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter... Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY , she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY , Your name is Arabic and  'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein  is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black.

Obama is the first  Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African  Negro from his father's side. Although Barack Hussein Obama's father was from  Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father  was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go  to.....

February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the " New York Times " a year ago: "Mr. Obama  recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with  a first-rate accent.

In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated  (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to  prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'

TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK

TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK, AS THE OLD TIMERS ALWAYS SAID "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME"...THE CONSTITUTION: AUDIO "PROJECT SAFETY NET" UNDER THE REPUBLICS

Yesterday I was asked "Why is the price of Gold falling so badly?"

The answer is very simple, I replied: The Holders Cannot "comply" and show the three prime requirements 1. Source of Collateral, 2. Good, Clean, Clear and 3. Marketable on "All of those Unauthorized Prime Bank Instruments" run through JP MORGAN, BARKLEYS, BANK OF ENGLAND, US & UK FEDERAL RESERVE'S "12" ASSOCIATES hit a wall when they reached the Bank of International Settlements for Collection. 

DOCUMENTATION/VALIDATION OF
Durham (Intl. Ltd;) Holding Trust, Tias 12087 Documents of Recorded Record http://www.theantechamber.net/Vk2009/DocumentationValidation.htm

December 28, 1988 Information Services Corporation (used by the U.S. Fed. Govt. Agencies for verification and calculation of complex interest due on Contracts such as "The one time only BONUS Commodity Contract 3392 and Certificate of Indebtedness of Peru No. 181 dated May 1, 1875) performed the first set of calculations on the accrued Gold Interest on THE COMMODITY CONTACT holding the One Time Only Bonus 3392 and No. 181 which is Notarized. This Notarized first set of actuarial was later re-calculated by the Fed. R. Bank in Los Angeles, Cal., who, incidentally, using the same "contractual agreements as to the graduating interest's" formula reached the same, identical calculated amount due and payable on the One Time Only BONUS 3392 Commodity Contract and Certificate of Indebtedness No. 181.

The amount calculated by both was $206,858,581,465,280,000,000.00 due and "Payable" in "AMERICAN GOLD DOLLARS," Gold, Gold Coin, Gold Bullion and/or Coin of the Realm on THE GOLD COLLATERAL INTEREST due on BONUS 3392-181. The Notarized Documents are also filed of Public Record.

Currently, per the Ekkers PUBLIC NOTICES a 50-50 split is in effect, allowing up to 5 Trillion Dollars per annum to be written, put out in the International Banking and Financial Community, further alleging these instruments are "collectable" from The U.S. Dept. of the Treasury and U.S. Fed. R. Banking System. If you do not assist in STOPPING this, each and every single "free" person, will ultimately be made RESPONSIBLE for the Payments of this INTERNATIONAL BANKING AND FINANCE FRAUD situation of GLOBAL ALLIANCE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION aka Ekkers.  (Project Camelot/Phoenix/OICT)

Those instruments which involved with JP MORGAN'S, BARKLEY'S ETAL'S "LIBOR" AND MONEY LAUNDERING come close to amounting to $107 Quadrillion Dollars which would be an approximate 1/2 or 50% of PROJECT CAMELOT and the BOGUS "OITC" "Public Notice GLOBAL ALLIANCE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION MEMORANDUM OF DIRECTIVE" which can be read here: http://www.theantechamber.net/VkDocuments/DocGroupG/Gpage4.html

The Trust's.. are in capable hands.

Should anything happen to me those certain and specific documents signed, notarized and sealed in the bank shall be deemed Null and Void and of no Lawful Effect.. Atty. Pat Cassidy has copies of those documents and will also be a recipient of this Trust decision whereas he may be able to avoid any confusion as to the Cause and Effect of Mr. Gene C. Valentines most unacceptable behaviour which has brought about this decision.

As soon as certain things are done.. I'm retiring. That is final. I have said this many times previously..

There are more important matters we should be looking at which, as I see it comes down to what Russell predicted November 17, 1993: "If the American People ever wake up, and find out what the Federal Government has really done; I would not want to be in the Executive Branch. I would not want to be a Member of Congress or Senate, state of federal. I would not want to be a judge on the bench. I would not want to be a lawyer. I would not want to be even the local dog catcher. Because; The American People will round all of them up; Give them a fair trial and hang them on the Capitol Steps [end quote]." http://www.theantechamber.net/V_K_Durham/OutsideCongresReview.html You also should copy and study.. you will need this in the future http://www.theantechamber.net/V_K_Durham/VkPublicNotice.html along with http://www.theantechamber.net/V_K_Durham/More911FinancialTerror.htm

Horrors of horrors just two weeks ago the ECB, European Central Bank, decreed that they were going to implement QE as well. We ask, why no BIS comment regarding the Fed and the ECB? Might it tend to bring both systems down?

snip: of all places, the Bank of England nor the Federal Reserve, yet they mimic them, now having implemented their own QE, accompanied by $1 trillion in swap assistance from the Fed. We see the words and ideas, but the reality is that behind the scenes the Fed is pulling the strings. You judge them by what they do not by what they say. In view of their newfound responsibilities we still find the rating agencies far behind the curve, due to pressure from banking and the political structure. Keeping that in mind investors have to rely on their own research and not that of an intimidated rating system. Besides rating changes are discounted months in advance by other professionals.

The Truth has clawed it's way out of darkness into the light of day.   

July 6, 2012.  Matt Koppenheffer  writes: If ever there was a public service announcement against financial fraud, it's the picture of former Antiguan financier and playboy R. Allen Stanford, all 6 feet 4 inches of him, face battered and bloody, shackled to a hospital bed, hunched over and hacking up blood into a plastic tub following a jailhouse beating.
Though "Sir" Allen presided over a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that is one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history, the whole affair could be labeled "The forgotten fraud."
Major news sources have reported on developments in the case -- the most recent of which was the 110-year sentence that a judge slapped on the disgraced financier. But whereas it was difficult to open a paper or pull up a news website for a while without Bernie Madoff coverage in your face, the curious have had to search out updates on the Stanford case. It's not that the media aren't meeting readers' demand; it's that few seem to care.
A fellow writer described it as "Madoff fatigue." Maybe that's it. Or maybe it's a Madoff overshadowing. Or perhaps it's that many of Stanford's victims were outside of the U.S. read more at source: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/07/06/the-massive-fraud-everyone-forgot-about.aspx

Read this article by Robert Reich, former US Secretary of Labor.

Wall Street Sleaze Keeps Growing

http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/reich/article/Wall-Street-sleaze-keeps-growing-3705814.php

"Just when you thought Wall Street couldn't sink any lower - when its excesses are still causing hardship to millions of Americans and its myriad abuses of public trust have already spread a miasma of cynicism over the entire economic system - an even deeper level of public-be-damned greed and corruption is revealed."

Over the years many have said about my analysis "The banksters are way too powerful to EVER be taken out." and "There is nothing that can stop them so why bother." And yet month after month, year after year I continue to prove that there is not only a HOPE of removing the banksters BUT A PLAN TO DO IT.

I am not some crazy gold bug who predicts the end of the world everyday with a story filled with doom and gloom. And I am not a Nostradamus who sees the future and reports on what they see. I am a researcher, an analyst and pretty good at developing future scenarios based on what is happening today. That is what I have done and my conclusions are very, very positive for our future.

We will take down the banksters. We will erase all evils from our monetary system. We will have a global "reallocation" of wealth in the form of gold and silver coin used as money. We will be free again.

Robert Reich does a good job at the end of his article in pointing out that being negative and succumbing to the despair of the time does not help our cause. It even invites it to become a self-fulfilling prophesy!

"When it comes to Wall Street and the financial sector in general, most of us suffer outrage fatigue combined with an overwhelming cynicism that nothing will ever be done to stop these abuses because the Street is too powerful. But that fatigue and cynicism are self-fulfilling; nothing will be done if we succumb to them."

"The alternative is to be unflagging and unflinching in our demand that Glass-Steagall be reinstituted and the biggest banks be broken up. The question is whether the unfolding Libor scandal will provide enough ammunition and energy to finally get the job done."

Very soon YOU will be asked to stand up and FIGHT for your freedom.

With scandals in the financial sector continuing to mount up at a rapid rate this week, the question of how to reign in the power the banks wield over the rest of us remains ever-pertinent.

Last night on his show Moyers & Company, the question was raised with former FDIC chair (and advocate of reform) Sheila Bair: can we ever make the bankers who wrecked our economy pay? How can regulators prevent banks from "scuttling" the latest round of reforms? http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/1032382/bill_moyers:_can_we_make_banks_accountable/

WASHINGTON (AP) — After years of following the paper trail of $51 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars provided to rebuild a broken Iraq, the U.S. government can say with certainty that too much was wasted. But it can't say how much.

In what it called its final audit report, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Funds on Friday spelled out a range of accounting weaknesses that put "billions of American taxpayer dollars at risk of waste and misappropriation" in the largest reconstruction project of its kind in U.S. history.

Iraq wants all US-stolen archeological treasures back 16 Jul 2012 Iraq says it wants back all the archeological treasures, stolen by US forces in 2003, but Washington has offered to return only half. Iraq rejected the offer made by the United States to bring back half of the Iraqi Jewish Archive, previously transferred from Baghdad to the United States during the US-led invasion of the country, insisting that Baghdad had to restore the whole archive, Iraqi newspaper al-Sabah reported on Sunday. "The archive includes centuries-old Torah scrolls and plenty of other documents in Hebrew, Arabic, and English."

Your destiny is better than a cloud in heaven

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Your destiny is better than a cloud in heaven What will you REALLY be doing once Jesus returns? Your ultimate destiny and occupation are far greater than floating on a cloud in heaven doing a whole bunch of nothingness except staring at the face of God while strumming a harp, according to a brand-new book released this week that sheds light on your underpublicized personal future as revealed in the Bible. "The Divine Secret: The Awesome and Untold Truth About Your Phenomenal Destiny" by Joe Kovacs, author of the No. 1 bestseller "Shocked by the Bible," finally explains the real reason why God created human beings in the first place, why this life is so hard, and the inspiring, magnificent future intended for the followers of Jesus that most churches don't wish to discuss, despite it being clearly spelled out on the pages of your own Bible. As Kovacs points out in "The Divine Secret," "If you ask a typical believer on the street what they'll be doing for all eternity, there's a very good chance you'll hear an answer along the lines of, 'I'll be spending it with Jesus, just looking at Him as I float on a cloud and play a harp. Hallelujah!' Although "The Divine Secret" is now being released at stores across the nation, the only place you can get a personally autographed copy is here! "I've asked this question of others, and a Christian woman in her twenties once told me, 'I'll be looking at Jesus' face forever.' I asked her again to be a little more specific about her activities year after year, decade after decade, century after century, throughout all eternity. The only answer she could come up with was, 'Just looking at Jesus' face.'" "Don't laugh," writes Kovacs. "That's actually a very common belief among people who call themselves believers, because they simply haven't grasped yet how incredible their destiny is, and how they'll be spending their time. Yes, believers will definitely get to see Jesus' face, but so many are under the mistaken impression they'll suddenly float up to their new personal address on a specific cloud and dwell forever there, strumming away on a harp or some other musical instrument, all the while praising God." He continues: "Others may imagine that they'll spend their immortality in the sky, enjoying the very same activities they enjoyed during their physical lifetimes, whether it's non-stop fishing, golfing, skiing, painting, singing, shopping, lounging, snoozing, or whatever it is that floated their boat. "Please don't get me wrong. All those things sound kinda nice, but imagine doing the same thing over and over, day after day, year after year, millennia after millennia. You'd probably get a bit bored, to say the least. There are two problems with that scenario: 1) it's simply not biblical; and 2) it provides really little, if any, meaning to our challenge-filled lives here.

"Human beings were not designed in the image and likeness of God and put here in our temporary physical bodies to resist and overcome evil for a given number of years, merely to win an atmospheric apartment on a cloud with a picturesque view of Jesus' face and an eternal round of sky golf, absent the greens fees. Sorry to burst your bubble if you happened to think that was really God's grand plan." In "The Divine Secret," Kovacs goes through hundreds of Holy Scriptures, especially the ones focusing on your future: everything from becoming actual children of God and partakers of the divine nature to judging angels, sitting down on the throne of Jesus, and ruling and reigning alongside the Creator of the universe. "If people knew what was really in store for them, they'd instantly get their act together to be part of the kingdom of God," said Kovacs. "Part of Jesus' message when He came to Earth some 2,000 years ago was to tell us, in effect, to 'Knock it off!' – to stop disobeying His commandments, so we can take part in His divine government." "The Divine Secret" also reveals what will likely happen to the many who never heard God's truth during their lives – or perhaps were confused about it. That revelation, drawn from the words of your own Bible, is not what you probably think. It's most likely not what you've been taught – and it'll leave you absolutely stunned. A special feature of "The Divine Secret" is that all personal comments from God are highlighted in red letters, even from the OLD Testament. This really brings to life God's incredible plan. "I've never understood why people make most Bibles showing red letters in the New Testament only, when it's the same God as in the Old Testament," Kovacs said. "Seeing the Creator's personal remarks highlighted in the Old Testament is something every lover of God and the Bible needs to experience. You don't want to miss a single word spoken by our loving God, and 'The Divine Secret' helps provide the prominence they deserve. In addition to clearly explaining the true meaning of life, "The Divine Secret" also investigates: The real nature of miracles More than one resurrection from the dead in the future What the Bible really means by "the kingdom of God" The future "quickening" spoken of in the New Testament The benefits of suffering "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars" have something very important in common with your biblical destiny Eating and drinking in the eternal kingdom of God Special abilities you can have in the kingdom of God The intriguing future of animals And much more! "If you liked 'Shocked by the Bible,' you'll love 'The Divine Secret,'" said Kovacs. "This book finally puts the answers so many are seeking into clear and simple terms. When you finally come to grips with the fact the Bible actually means what it says, you'll understand the glorious truth about your purpose, and the purpose of everyone who has ever existed." Joe Kovacs has spent more than 25 years in the broadcast, print, and online media, receiving awards for excellence in news coverage from the Associated Press and United Press International. A frequent media guest, Kovacs has appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel as well as countless radio shows across America and the world, including "Coast to Coast AM."

'This is simply inviting the judgment of God' Author of hit book says 'celebrating' sin a step too far It was just a month ago, on June 15, when a CBS News report was headlined: "Panetta celebrates gay pride month by saluting LGBT military members." Said the report, "Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Friday thanked gay and lesbian military members for their service, as the Pentagon prepares to mark June as gay pride month with an official salute. In a remarkable sign of a cultural change in the U.S. military, Panetta said that with the repeal last year of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law that prohibited gays from serving openly in the military, gays and lesbians can now be proud to be in uniform. 'Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you are,' Panetta said." Best-selling author and longtime pastor Carl Gallups told WND, "Listen carefully to Secretary Panetta's words, he says this event is a 'remarkable sign of a cultural change in the U.S. military.'" Click here to read more about The Magic Man in the Sky. "Yes," Gallups said, "This is exactly what it is – a cultural change – a paradigm shift of worldviews. The reason that it is remarkable is that the change goes completely against the grain of the Judeo/Christian pillars and heritage of our nation's founding. "While our Founding Fathers never intended for the U.S. to be a theocracy (they had escaped just such a system in Europe), they did intend for it to be a constitutional republic based on the Judeo/Christian principles found in the Bible. This fact cannot be intelligently denied. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution itself and the very first amendment – this foundational underpinning is blatantly obvious." Gallups' new book is titled: "The Magic Man In The Sky: Effectively Defending The Christian Faith." It is published by WND Books. His book has reached No. 1 best-seller status on Amazon in Science and Religion. Gallups told WND, "About 60 years ago, our culture decided it didn't need God or the mention of His Word anymore. So, we have raised several generations of children to believe that they are the 'me' generation. They were taught that there is no God, there is no 'higher authority,' there are no moral absolutes, and that they are nothing more than a cosmic happenstance based upon sheer random luck. I have an entire chapter about this phenomenon in my new book." He said, "With such a worldview thoroughly ingrained within the institutions of our culture we now reap what we have sown. The abortion holocaust could not happen without first convincing the nation to believe that we are nothing more than a mere animal. The radical homosexual movement could have never risen to its current level without first persuading the nation that there is no standard of right and wrong concerning our sexuality. Homosexual marriage would have never been considered until first the nation became convinced that marriage is nothing special or divinely ordained, and that marriage can be defined anyway in which man finds pleasing to his flesh and lust." When WND asked Gallups what his specific observations were concerning the celebration of "Gay" Pride Month in the military, he had this to say, "A few years back on my talk radio program, I observed that if open homosexuality was ever fully allowed in the military that we would be opening Pandora's Box on all manner of perversion. I told my audience that if that day ever came that the military would actually be celebrating Gay Pride Month openly. I had listeners call in who were outraged with my predictions. They called me a 'reactionary,' an 'exaggerator,' and 'out of touch with reality,' in this matter. "Well, here we are," Gallups said. "Open homosexuality has been enacted and in less than a year the military is celebrating Gay Pride Month. This downward progression was easy to forecast and I fear the worst is yet to be seen in this matter." Click here to read more about The Magic Man in the Sky. When asked why Gallups refers to homosexuality as a perversion, Gallups responded, “First and foremost because the word of God describes it that way. Secondly, our own medical journals, just a few decades ago, described it in those terms (mental illness), and thirdly – just think about it! The military is actually going to celebrate the fact that two men have sex as though one of them is a woman! The U.S. military is actually going to openly celebrate that one man is going to have physiologically illogical sex with another man! And, to top it all off, the secretary of defense actually said, 'Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you are.'" Gallups said, "A person who is a homosexual can always be proud of serving his country, I have no problem with that. But neither the U.S. military, nor the U.S. government has any business declaring that a person can be proud of having perverted sex and that we will help them celebrate it with military and government sanction. For those of us who come from a Biblical worldview – we know that this is simply inviting the judgment of God upon us. May God have mercy upon us."
