The Jeenyus Corner | September 23 2012

We’re witnessing something rare in the American political discourse. With the understanding that money power controls both sides of the false Left/Right spectrum, it hasn’t made any real difference who sits at the head of the table in decades.

Oh sure there are stark differences in the two parties and each president has made changes to his own liking. However, as we’re all kept distracted with arguments over issues that the elite don’t care about and ultimately have never affected the course of our nation, the very real topics we should be discussing have been ignored. So much so that in some cases, discussing the facts of these subjects, actual facts, has you painted as a “conspiracy theorist”.

My analysis is that there is either a schism among the elites themselves or money power has expressed it’s collective will – that Barack Obama must go. My money is on the latter. Why would I say this? Please know that I am NOT, and let me repeat because the trolls will ignore it anyway to make their foolish political points, I am not advocating or opposing any candidate.

I am basing my opinion here on three separate indicators. We know the mind control media is operated completely at the behest of money power. A mere five corporations control nearly all radio, TV, print and most internet service providers.

Using the core principle that all government is by consent of the governed, its easy to arrive at the conclusion that anything you see, read or hear in the mind control media about generating that consent. Therefore, nothing happens in a bubble.

In no particular order:

1. The massive popularity and financial success of Dinesh D’Souza’s political documentary film “2016: Obama’s America” could not have happened without the tacit approval of money power. Hollywood is completely dominated by the pro Obama crowd and despite their opposition and the deliberate obstacles involved in distribution, this film is now the number two grossing documentary of all time behind Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11”.

2. The August 27th edition of Newsweek, as establishment media as it gets, showcases on their front page the President in a departing pose with the caption: “Hit the road Barack. Why we need a new President.” There is no possible way this could ever be allowed if money power was pushing for this man’s reelection. One could presume limited hangout perhaps, an operation designed to deal with unflattering news or information by a minimal acknowledgment. However with the polls this close, I doubt it.

3. The incredible rise in the price of gasoline. Its well known in alternative media and contrarian economics that money power rigs the market place for commodities. Using computerized trading, futures can be sold or bought millions of times a second.

This is seen by the elite as necessary since the US dollar, a fiat currency, is essentially backed by the deal Henry Kissenger made with the Saudi’s. We protect them, they only sell oil in dollars, exclusive of any other currency. This, among several methods, maintains the value of the paper dollar precisely where money power wants it any any time.

Joel Poindexter ~ 90 Million Americans Can’t Be Wrong

LewRockwell.com | August 18 2012

Those who vote in presidential elections often describe the action as being part of their civic duty; it’s something every good citizen must do. Others consider voting to be a right, and elections are something which every American should participate in. After all, they remind us, not everyone has this right in other countries. Still, there are others who see voting as both a duty and a right, as if it could be both at the same time.

So when voter turnout was abysmally poor during last week’s primaries in Kansas and Missouri, many were upset. Talk radio hosts, Internet pundits, and members of the media all commented on the low participation rate, and quite a few were disturbed by the numbers. Kansas City, Missouri for instance, had a voter turnout of only 15%. Now, it’s generally understood that primaries and midterms have lower voter participation rates than presidential election years, so this ought not to surprise anyone, but there is some hope this year’s elections will have the lowest turnout of the last fifty.

When asked by USA Today and Suffolk University why they’re not planning to vote this November, respondents answered that: “They’re too busy. They aren’t excited about either candidate. Their vote doesn’t really matter. And nothing ever gets done, anyway.” All are excellent reasons, especially the last two, for they lay bare the great lie that elections solve anything. The results of the poll indicate that some 90 million Americans have no intention to vote in this year’s presidential election; let’s hope that number swells over the coming months.

Curtis Gans, who is director of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate, had this to say regarding why so few are expected to vote:

There’s a lot of lack of trust in our leaders, a lack of positive feelings about political institutions, a lack of quality education for large segments of the public, a lack of civic education, the fragmenting effects of waves of communications technology, the cynicism of the coverage of politics – I could go on with a long litany.

G. Edward Griffin ~ The Collectivist Conspiracy [Video]

whahappav | April 20 2011

In this exclusive 80 minute video interview, legendary conspiracy author G. Edward Griffin explains how his research, which spans no less than 5 decades, has revealed a banking elite obsessed with enforcing a world government under a collectivist model that will crush individualism and eventually institute martial law as a response to the inevitable backlash that will be generated as a result of a fundamental re-shaping of society.

Griffin discusses the similarities between the extreme left and the extreme right in the false political paradigm and how this highlights a recurring theme – collectivism. Collectivism is the opposite of individualism and believes that the interests of the individual must be sacrificed for the greater good of the greater number, explains Griffin, uniting the doctrines of communism and fascism. Both the Republican and Democrat parties in the United States are committed to advancing collectivism and this is why the same policies are followed no matter who is voted in to the White House.

“All collectivist systems eventually deteriorate into a police state because that’s the only way you can hold it together,” warns Griffin.

Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University Professor and mentor to former president Bill Clinton, explained in his books Tragedy and Hope and The Anglo-American Establishment, how the elite maintained a silent dictatorship while fooling people into thinking they had political freedom, by creating squabbles between the two parties in terms of slogans and leadership, while all the time controlling both from the top down and pursuing the same agenda. Griffin documents how the Tea Party, after its beginnings as a grass roots movement, was later hijacked by the Republicans through the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.

Kurt Nimmo ~ Obama’s Authoritarian Adviser Sunstein Steps Down

Prisonplanet.com | August 4, 2012 | Thanks, VK

Cass Sunstein, Obama’s administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget, has announced his departure. He will leave later this month and return to Harvard Law School.

Obama’s Authoritarian Adviser Sunstein Steps Down sunstein at brookingsSunstein gained notoriety on a number of fronts. He called for dispatching government agents to sabotage individuals and groups opposed to government – most notably those at odds with the official 9/11 narrative – and suggested the government hold people responsible for the information they post on the internet.

In May of 2011, former president Bill Clinton adopted Sunstein’s idea of creating an internet Ministry of Truth.

“Couching the idea in the kind of doublespeak rhetoric that would make George Orwell roll in his grave, Clinton said that the agency would have to be ‘independent’ and ‘transparent,’ but that it would be created and run by the federal government – a complete oxymoron,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote at the time.

In addition to proposing a new COINTELPRO to attack enemies of the state on the internet, Sunstein worked to craft minutiae of the emerging globalist order. In April of this year, he penned a piece for the Wall Street Journal calling for an attack on national sovereignty. Hewrote that “unnecessary regulatory differences across nations” are harmful to the “interdependent global economy,” in other words the globalist dream of a one-world economic dictatorship driven by the elite and their unelected apparatchiks.

Bob Adelmann ~ Deficit Headed For $1.1 Trillion This Year

The New American | July 13 2012

US Treasury Department building in Washington, D.C

The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Thursday that the federal government’s deficit for the first nine months of its 2012 fiscal year exceeded $900 billion and that the country is on target for another $1 trillion annual deficit for the fourth year in a row. And this was despite the fact that revenues for the same period actually increased by five percent.

In simple terms, government is growing more quickly than the economy can generate the revenues to feed it. And if the status remains quo, the economy will continue to stagnate. At present it is informally in recession, there is gridlock in Congress, elections are four months away, and Taxmageddon — the “fiscal cliff” — awaits taxpayers on January 1. All of this is sufficient to cause even the hardy to tremble.

What the president and a compliant Congress have managed to do over the last four years is to increase government spending, compared with what the economy generates — the gross domestic product, or GDP — to the highest level since WWII. James Glassman’s study of deficit spending under the last five presidents shows that President Obama’s ratio of deficit to GDP is 8.9 percent, compared to George Bush senior’s 4.2 percent, Ronald Reagan’s 4.2 percent, George Bush junior’s 2.7 percent, and Bill Clinton’s 0.5 percent. Putting that into perspective, Obama’s deficits are running between two and fifteen times greater than his predecessors, with no end in sight.

In fact, if the economy’s output declines as many economists are predicting, revenues will fall, resulting in even higher deficits. And yet there are voices of reason to be heard in the land. Anthony Gregory, a research editor at the Independent Institute, is persuaded that it’s not too late to turn things around. Current calls to tax the rich — the one percent — are exactly the opposite of what is needed, he says. In fact, he points out that even if all the income — a 100-percent income tax rate — were applied to the one-million-plus households currently in that top one percent, it would generate scarcely $1.3 trillion, slightly more than this year’s expected deficit. And that top one percent already pays 40 percent of the federal income tax!

There are two ways out of the mess, according to Gregory. One way is to increase taxes to a draconian level on the already suffering middle class:

The only way to fix the deficits with tax increases is to terrorize the middle class, unleash the IRS to bloom into its full Nazi potential, and raise rates to the skies. Even this might not work…

More of the Super Wealthy Defect From the USSA

The Dollar Vigilante | July 11 2012

Another one heads for the exit.

Denise Rich, the wealthy socialite and former wife of pardoned billionaire trader Marc Rich, has defected from the US and given up her US citizenship.  Rich, 68, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, renounced her American citizenship in November, according to her lawyer.  Her maiden name, Denise Eisenberg, appeared in the Federal Register on April 30 in a quarterly list of Americans who renounced their US passport.

She is better known for her former husband’s indiscretions. Marc Rich got caught doing something the US Government didn’t like; trading in oil from Iran a few decades ago – yes, this Iran nonsense has been going on that long.  For not adhering to the rules of his overseers he was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List for many years.

It was only when Denise Rich gave a number of bribes to murderer and thief, Bill Clinton, that her husband was granted a pardon.  Smartly, after being deemed a rogue criminal, Marc Rich defected from the US in 1991, although he did not do it correctly under the rules of the US and falsely believed that he had relinquished his United States’ citizenship when he became a citizen of Spain.  But, an appeals court ruled in 1991 that for purposes of US law Rich remains a citizen and therefore is still subject to US income tax theft. In order to officially renounce US citizenship and legally avoid future theft from the IRS, a citizen must appear in person before a US consular or “diplomatic officer” outside the US and “sign an oath of renunciation” (note: last month we told TDV Subscribers which US consulate has the fastest renunciation process… less than 2 months).  Smartly, today he also holds Belgian, Israeli and Spanish passports so as to not find himself in the same predicament he did in the early 1990s when he only held one slave card (passport).

Peter Edelman ~ Low-Wage Nation: Poverty And Inequality Are Threatening Our Democracy

Common Dreams | June 24 2012

With its catchy “We are the 99 Percent” slogan, the Occupy movement focused millions of Americans on our nation’s chronic inequality. As that movement regains momentum, it must pay more attention to the whole 99 percent.

We certainly should worry about how the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans isn’t paying its fair share of the cost of running the country. But we should be just as worried about how people at the other end are doing.

It’s not just about the continuing wave of foreclosures. Millions of people are stuck in low-wage jobs that don’t pay enough to make ends meet. And millions more live on incomes so low that it’s hard to imagine how they survive.

Low-wage work is a pandemic. A third of our population ekes by on less than $36,000 for a family of three. That’s 103 million people living on less than twice the poverty line, but most of them technically aren’t poor or don’t consider themselves poor. Yet they struggle every month to make ends meet and are one medical emergency or protracted illness away from bankruptcy.

Why so much low-wage work? Because over the past 40 years, well-paying industrial jobs disappeared, unions lost much of their clout, the minimum wage stagnated, and the field of competition in many areas became globalized.

The result: half of U.S. jobs now pay $34,000 or less a year. A quarter of U.S. jobs pay less than $22,000, the poverty line for a family of four. And the wages for those jobs have been stuck for four decades. Today, they pay only 7 percent more than they did in 1973.

Most families cope by having both parents work, but the rising number of single moms means that millions of households have just one possible worker. It’s no wonder that 42 percent of single-mother families with children under 18 are poor.

Meanwhile, our safety net is in tatters at a time when 20.5 million people have incomes that amount to less than $9,500 a year. That’s half the poverty line, which is currently pegged at $19,090 for a family of three. This number grew by almost 8 million between 2000 and 2010. Why? Cash assistance for the mothers and children who need it in many states has been scratched.

Alex Jones ~ Obama to Grandstand Over Boogie Man Osama’s Demise

 TheAlexJonesChannel | April 29 2012

Alex Jones focuses in on the crumbling government narratives and the known liars patching them together, including the on-going hoax surrounding the account we’ve been given of boogie man Osama’s demise. Barack Obama is poised to grandstand over the alleged death of Bin Laden on the May Day anniversary celebrations traditionally shared by pagans, socialists and the Illuminati in a lead up to his re-election bid for 2012. Meanwhile, House committee members led by Rep. Darrell Issa are making preparations to slap contempt charges on Attorney General Eric Holder over his role in covering up the Fast & Furious scandal and providing Congress with false information and misleading statements. Also, even establishment lapdog publications like the New York Times now admit the extensive role of the FBI in setting up alleged terror plots, often admittedly using entrapment to frame patsies as would be bombers in the public’s mind.

Robert Scheer ~ The Democrats Who Unleashed Wall Street and Got Away With it

Nation Of Change | February 3 2012

That Lawrence Summers, a president emeritus of Harvard, is a consummate distorter of fact and logic is not a revelation. That he and Bill Clinton, the president he served as treasury secretary, can still get away with disclaiming responsibility for our financial meltdown is an insult to reason.

Yet, there they go again. Clinton is presented, in a fawning cover story in the current edition of Esquire magazine, as “Someone we can all agree on. … Even his staunchest enemies now regard his presidency as the good old days.” In a softball interview, Clinton is once again allowed to pass himself off as a job creator without noting the subsequent loss of jobs resulting from the collapse of the housing derivatives bubble that his financial deregulatory policies promoted.

At least Summers, in a testier interview by British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy of Channel 4 News, was asked some tough questions about his responsibility as Clinton’s treasury secretary for the financial collapse that occurred some years later. He, like Clinton, still defends the reversal of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, a 1999 repeal that destroyed the wall between investment and commercial banking put into place by Franklin Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression.

“I think the evidence is that I am right about that. If you look at the big players, Lehman and Bear Stearns were both standalone investment banks,” Summers replied, referring to two investment banks allowed to fold. Summers is very good at obscuring the obvious truth—that the too-big-to-fail banks, made legal by Clinton-era deregulation, required taxpayer bailouts.

Obama’s Faux Populism Sounds Like Bill Clinton

Robert Scheer | Truthdig | January 26 2012

I’ll admit it: Listening to Barack Obama, I am ready to enlist in his campaign against the feed-the-rich Republicans … until I recall that I once responded in the same way to Bill Clinton’s faux populism. And then I get angry because betrayal by the “good guys” for whom I have ended up voting has become the norm.

Yes, betrayal, because if Obama meant what he said in Tuesday’s State of the Union address about holding the financial industry responsible for its scams, why did he appoint the old Clinton crowd that had legalized those scams to the top economic posts in his administration? Why did he hire Timothy Geithner, who has turned the Treasury Department into a concierge service for Wall Street tycoons?

Why hasn’t he pushed for a restoration of the Glass-Steagall Act, which Clinton’s deregulation reversed? Does the president really believe that the Dodd-Frank slap-on-the-wrist sellout represents “new rules to hold Wall Street accountable, so a crisis like this never happens again”? Can he name one single too-big-to-fail banking monstrosity that has been reduced in size on his watch instead of encouraged to grow ever larger by Treasury and Fed bailouts and interest-free money?

When Obama declared Tuesday evening “no American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas,” wasn’t he aware that Jeffrey Immelt, the man he appointed to head his jobs council, is the most egregious offender? Immelt, the CEO of GE, heads a company with most of its workers employed in foreign countries, a corporation that makes 82 percent of its profit abroad and has paid no U.S. taxes in the past three years.
