bankruptcy questions

America where are the patriots?

BY MICHAEL WEBSTER: INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER Oct  1, 2008 at 3:00 PM PDT

We Americans have cowards and self centered fools as our politicians in Washington D.C. because they were aware of the ultimate outcome of such a runaway economy long before it became apparent to the average citizen. The politicians and the mainstream media did a pretty good job of keeping it from us.

According to writer Tony Elliott the bailout is part of the overall scheme by those in power who are directing events for an outcome of their choosing. It is the handful of individuals who some refer to as “The Illuminati.” This elite group of powerful people has been creating and directing events in America and world Society ever since Colonial Days and in modern times as well. They have been responsible for the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and a number of world leaders. This group is also responsible for 9-11 and a host of terrorist acts around the world.

Unfortunately, for the most part mainstream America’s wishes has been shunned. Even though there is a mounting patriotic interest as exemplified by the Ron Paul campaign, Ralph Nader and other independents. But there is still a lot of misunderstanding on the part of mainstream Americans regarding the economy and ultimately our money if not the whole  Illuminati controlled monetary/political system.

None of the created events they have manifested has been in the favor of our citizens. One really big thing they created was the Federal Reserve Bank. A so called federal bank that controls all of our money since 1913 when legislation was passed giving the sometimes called “fed” all the power they needed to control the capital of America.

Other serious questions remain on all of the events the Illuminati have had a hand in such events as the J.F.K assassination and the 911 attack where more questions were raised than were ever answered as to who did it, why and how it was done.

Elliott writes that these created events would not have any unanswered doubts at all if they were legitimate because the proof would be clear-cut. As it is, we are presented with lies that cannot be clearly sorted out because in hiding the true perpetrators and cause they have muddied the water to the point that even the most ill informed and mind busy with day to day living could see through the thin veil of deception.

Again, we have been duped into believing that this Government intervention of the entire financial market was necessary to avoid an outright depression. The actual act of the Federal Government bailing out Wall Street really is necessary to avoid a total catastrophe of bankruptcy of the free financial market, however its plan is again flawed as all its schemes in the past were because we can clearly see the finagling that was going on behind the scenes over the past 8 years that brought us to this situation we now face.

9-11 was a hit to the financial world as The Twin Towers were places where the nucleuses of the world’s financial markets were housed. The 9-11 attacks were the beginning of a series of events that has brought us to the financial crisis we are now facing. This government within the government has painted us with a picture presenting us with an image of being saved by Uncle Sam from disaster, but the reality is the Federal Government will actually own all there is in our existence making us slaves to its whelms whenever it chooses. The Feds influenced the markets out come to what it is now through fear of terrorism on crude oil facilities around the world, embargoes of oil supplies by terrorist supporting countries and a volatile market operating on fears of massive deficits from the unnecessary wars stemming from the 9-11 attacks.

The Apocalypse of the world economy
 

Former president Roosevelt said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”  The coming economic collapse is something to prepare for, if not fear, for it will be the worst event in our lives with or without the bailout. It will be much worse than the Great Depression and may last much longer.

Bernard von NotHaus known as the Monetary Architect reports that while you hear the word “collapse” often today, rarely is there any real definition as to what happens in a collapse. Well, to paraphrase my presentation at the Silver Summit, the coming Economic Collapse will be a global monetary apocalypse that will mirror the Fall of Rome and include the following:

National currency controls… Nationalization of major industries… layoffs… strikes… domestic strife… food shortages… … massive unemployment… bankruptcies… greatly reduced standard of living… road blocks… marshal law… military troops at major intersections… passport and travel restrictions… a total lockdown of the country… until the masses cry out… “Give me anybody… Anybody who will bring sanity back to the monetary system…” rise of a dictator… and a totalitarian government.

Just look at these historical experiences: France and the rise of Napoleon in the1800′s, Germany and the rise of Hitler in the 1930′s and China and the rise of Mao in the 1940′s. We are all going to be millionaires… in the same soup line during the coming hyperinflationary depression.

Think this is impossible? Think marshal law and military troops is too extreme? Google, The September 24, 2008, article on Prison Planet By Paul Joseph Watson:

U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control” – which could include dealing with unruly Americans after a complete economic collapse.

This shocking admission was calmly reported on September 8th on the Army Times website that from the beginning of next month the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team “Will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.”

The unit would also be deployed to deal with hostile crowds of Americans in the aftermath of a massive economic depression, potential food riots and race riots, if one defines the term “crowd control” to match its reasonably applicable scenarios.

The open admission that U.S. troops will be involved in law enforcement operations as well as potentially using non-lethal weapons against American citizens is a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, which substantially limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement unless under precise and extreme circumstances.

Financial Bailout is not the answer. It is the problem. It is the government’s way to gain more control. Google an article by Chris Powell on Thursday, September 25, 2008, for the Journal Inquirer in Manchester, Connecticut:

The bad-debt bailout would be the biggest government patronage program in history and would amount to declaring martial law over the U.S. financial system and economy. Even if such martial law is necessary, its implementation should be put in democratic hands — a non-partisan agency with full transparency, statutory standards for its purchases, and close accountability to Congress.

Chris Powell is managing editor of the Journal Inquirer and the Secretary/Treasurer of
Gold Anti-Trust Action (GATA) Committee Inc.

Now I am not usually a doom-and-gloom guy. I developed the Liberty Dollar to bring a real solution to the currency situation that I realized in 1974… some 34 years ago! And for all these years I have strived to bring about a proven, positive, peaceful and profitable solution to our country’s controlled fiat monetary system.

And while I greatly appreciated your support (ala the Choir), at almost every turn there has been an invisible force that has thwarted the Liberty Dollar development and larger use. At first you may think, I mean the government. That is not the case. The government had been amazingly supportive up until the raid. The most disturbing “invisible force” is bunch of traitors who confess to have the very ideals that you think they endorse. Unfortunately, most of the time I found our supposed “leaders” to be vain little men, who were much more interested in maintaining their position than saving the country.

Who are these traitors who have steadfastfully blocked or secretly worked to undermine the world economy.
 

But as America is still addicted to fiat money and big government, there is much to be done. We still need to Change the money to Change the country.

Silver: The marketplace is NOT out of silver. Technically, there is not even a shortage of silver. There IS a shortage of fabricated silver, especially one ounce rounds (coins) for the retail market. While some young talking heads would have you believe the sky is falling, silver is plentiful in 1000 oz bars, but nobody wants that; everybody wants one ounce Eagles or generic rounds. Besides love and the world of intangibles, silver still remains the single best item to hold. Period. Inflation is coming and we will see phenomenally higher prices for silver. Just remember in Germany on January 1, 1919, one ounce of silver cost 12 German marks, very much like one ounce cost 12 US dollars not long ago. Four years later, November of 1923, just before Hitler came to power, the same one ounce of silver cost 543 billion marks! Hold on, the world is about to go through hell as it finds it way back to value. “Revaluation” is the word to remember!

And in case you missed Bernard’s First Law of Money: When the people own the money, they control the government. When the government owns the money, it controls the people. We choose, therefore we are free.

Every day we see a lot more control of the monetary system. The “news” is confusing and will get increasingly confusing. Don’t get confused. Stay with the truth. We are witnessing a global revaluation of money and everything denominated by it. Remember the three stages of truth: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. 

Just as I wrap up this bittersweet Aloha Alert and return to Hawaii… comes news from Reuters: “Private banks rethinking gold, seen next big buyers.” Please read this excellent article that validates my 34 year opinion that we are witnessing a global revaluation of the monetary system. I guarantee – anybody who bought silver at $5 per ounce is happy! I guarantee – if you buy and hold gold and silver right now – you will be happy as you watch your net worth double and double and double many times as the world struggles to redefine value and replace the damn good-for-almost-nothing fiat government crap money into real value. Please click HERE for Private banks rethinking gold, seen next big buyers by Jonathan Leff for Reuters, Monday September 29, 2008.

Elliott went on to say this Government Deception was orchestrated and fine-tuned to the point that it made the average American feel great to acquire the massively overinflated housing loans that could never be paid.

Thus, we are in a conundrum now of having the choice of going into a depression or letting the Federal Government own every aspect of our existence.

The long tentacles of this vile creature of deception have not forgotten the rest of the world either. Its influence over all that is financial thus all that is has its sights on world domination and will achieve its goal without opposition unless all free thinking citizens of the world recognize the situation for what is and take a stand and become a true American patriot.

Believe it or not, before being accepted into your current or previous job, you were most probably subjected to a pre employment background screening. If you are presently looking for a job then it is best you make yourself aware of this screening method. Learning about this background screening process can give you an idea about what to expect. The chances of you getting a particular job can be increased if you are prepared for the screening.

It goes without saying that you should be prepared for interviews too. Your potential employer can always ask you certain questions regarding your credit report. You should be ready to answer these questions. There are certain people who completely forgotten about their credit report. You need to ensure that you are not a victim of any potential identity theft. If you make a check on your credit report prior to the interview, you will not be taken aback when any such question is posed. This will also give you enough time to correct any dispute present in your credit report. Knowing these facts before hand will help you explain such things.

Many people question the requirement of a pre-employment screening by companies. First of all, not all companies really require this. They just check on the previous employee records, character referencing and educational records. There are also companies, which, on the other hand, hire a third company to do a complete pre employment screening.

Due to the nature of the job, there are some jobs that necessitate the process of a pre employment background screening. For instance, if your job is related to children, the company you apply to will do a pre employment screening on you. Due to the increase in the incidents of child abduction, terrorism and negligent hiring lawsuits, now companies are starting to exercise caution on the people they hire. It is only natural for them to subject their applicants to a pre employment screening in order to ensure that only the right candidates are hired.

There are many privacy laws that have been enacted for the applicants benefit in order to offer them protection from any misuse of the pre employment screening process. Remember that the pre employment screening process can only access information that is public and is government created. Such information includes employment credit report, bankruptcy history, court records, personal references, previous employers, character references, neighbor interviews and medical records. There are certain companies that look at your profile in many social networking sites like Friendster, Myspace and Facebook.

If you find out that you are going to be screened before your employment, what you should do is check on all your records. Obtain copies of your credit report, driving records and previous court cases if applicable. Your company can always think that you are being dishonest and this can strongly affect their decision to hire you.

The One Global Market Where There are Gains Behind the Gloom

Comment by P. Denaco on 21 November 2008:

“Shows good thought in a general sense, but lacks content as to what you would recommend to do with that information. I was in China this past year, including the major cities of Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai. It is a powerhouse of labor potential, with over 200 million of that labor force being itinerants. They need to make “stuff” and to be able to sell it as well as to assure that, as a nation they have exposure to the raw materials and commodities it takes for them to continue. What say you as to actions to take re: China?”

Great question – thank you! As you know from personal experience having been there, Chinese companies active in the provision of water, electricity, filtration, travel and pollution control figure prominently in Beijing’s plans (and ours), which is why we’re focused on them right now. The same can be said for the international companies tied up with them. Obviously there are other trends to consider in China but there’s nothing else even remotely on the radar screen with this kind of potential and state funding.

Five Ways to Profit From China’s $585 Billion Stimulus Plan

Comment by Robert on 11 November 2008:

“I would like some clarification on these ADRs.

As I understand it, the shares are actually held by an American bank (American Depository Receipts), and [are] not registered in the purchaser’s name.

Is there any risk to the purchaser should the bank hit the wall? In other words, I’m more concerned about the American situation than the Chinese.

Appreciate your insight.”

The ADRs are held mostly by JP Morgan Chase & Co. or Bank of New York Mellon Corp., which are among the most solid banks out there. The underlying shares are fiduciary assets, so can’t be touched in a bankruptcy. If they’ve got Madoff running the fiduciary operation, you’d have to worry, but even then, the banks have insurance.

The Big Three Need a Shakeout, Not a Bailout

Comment by Rob Shippy on 9 December 2008:

Keith,

I agree with most of your sentiment, but the one place you are off base is the employees. Those companies will not absorb our workers, because the demand they fill will largely be produced overseas, where they are able to keep their costs LOW. Therein lies the problem, because now those wages are being spent in a foreign country, and the profits are going to a foreign country. And while in principle, theory, and soapbox I agree with you, my livelihood is in Detroit, and I need those workers to have jobs to have money to spend in my business… solve that.

Thanks for the kind words, Rob. Unfortunately, I’m not in charge. And, neither are the guys in Washington despite what they’d like to believe. The markets are. As long as consumers prefer Hondas and Toyotas, no amount of bailout funding is going to do anything other than perpetuate the inevitable. Which is why a Big Three shakeout that may kill Detroit could ultimately be good for the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi where VW, Toyota, and KIA are all in the process of completing new factories right now despite the downturn thanks to more than $1 billion in Southern legislative incentives. Incentives, I might add, that Michigan could pass if it wanted to more directly help businesses like yours, like Southern representatives are helping their constituents.

Auto Bailout Could Have Strings Attached: Ousting CEOs, Appointing Car Czar

Comment by Bobbie on 9 December 2008:

Why do you keep calling the “Loans” for the big 3 a “bailout”. The financial world was given a “bailout”, the auto industry is asking for loans that they will re-pay … not a handout like we gave to select banks.”

We call it a bailout because there is virtually no possibility that these companies – given the state of their balance sheets and business models – would be able to secure $34 billion in loans on the commercially. The government is bailing them out buy offering taxpayer money. Also, there’s no guarantee that these loans will be paid back. General Motors, for instance, is burning through cash at such an exorbitant rate that it could easily fail even if it does get a “loan.”

You finally decided to go for credit card debt settlement instead of filing for bankruptcy with the credit card bills keep building up. Now you face a new dilemma. How do you choose the right debt settlement company with so many in the market?

Here are 5 questions to help you make the choice.

1. What’s the reputation of the company?

The track records of a credit card debt settlement company can speak volume. With the convenience of the internet, it’s easy to search for and review the feedback and comments on a company. You can also consult any relevant consumer and government publications. Better Business Bureau is a good place to start your research.

2. Is the company Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited?

BBB accredited companies must meet certain standards to qualify for accredited business status and to remain an accredited business. The standards are a comprehensive set of best practices for how businesses should treat the public in a fair and honest manner. So a BBB accredited status is an indicator of business integrity.

3. Is the company a member of The Association of Settlement Companies (TASC)?

TASC promotes good practice in the debt settlement industry and protects the interests of consumer debtors. Being a TASC member gives you an assurance that the company meets certain standards of service quality.

4. Are the employees International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators (IAPDA) certified?

An IAPDA member has completed the required training in debt arbitration and knows the legislative rules and regulations of credit card debt settlement. They are the experts in debt settlement and qualified to help you in this area.

5. Does the company make realistic promises and guarantee?

Look out for money back guarantee should the company fail to reach a credit card debt settlement on your behalf. But when the company starts making promises like wiping off your debt overnight or settlement not hampering your credit at all, it’s time you look for another company.

Finding a legitimate credit card debt settlement company can sometimes be difficult. The checklist of 5 questions will help you choose one that suits you. And with their help, you will be on your way to becoming debt free soon.
