To Imprison Us All…

(NaturalNews) “To imprison us all” is a poem by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, written to counter the loss of liberty currently being witnessed across all levels of society:

To imprison our memories, they gave us revisionist history.

To imprison our present-day minds, they made us drink fluoride.

To imprison our biology, they gave us prescription medications.

To imprison our ideas, they created intellectual property laws.

To imprison our legal identities, they created social security numbers.

To imprison our children, they gave us vaccines.

To imprison our mental health, they gave us psychiatry.

To imprison our agriculture, they created genetically modified seeds.

To imprison our soils, they created chemical pesticides.

To imprison our sense of self worth, they created fashion and cosmetics.

To imprison our speech, they created SOPA.

To imprison our persons and effects, they created the TSA.

To imprison our protests, they created the NDAA.

To imprison our productivity, they created the IRS.

To imprison our money supply, they created the Federal Reserve.

To imprison our financial future, they created endless debt.

To imprison our consumption habits, they created television advertising.

To imprison our perspective, they created television news.

To imprison our medical professionals, they created medical schools.

To imprison scientific truth, they created science journals.

To imprison our teenage boys, they created violent video games.

To imprison our teenage girls, they created Gardasil.

To imprison our online interactions, they created search engine profiling and tracking technology.

To imprison our sex, they created sexual dysfunction diseases.

To imprison our foods and farms, they created the Health Department.

And then,

To secure the prisons against resistance, they passed gun restriction laws.

To quell dissent, they taught the masses to be dehumanized and dumbed-down.

To solidy their arrogance over the masses, they erected a scientific dictatorship.

To ensure blind obedience, they positioned government as savior.

But,

While the prisons were numerous and carefully constructed,

No matter how hard they tried,

They could not imprison our souls.

And once we recognized the prisons,

And identified those responsible for building them,

We rose up against them,

Setting free our minds,

Our bodies

Our children

Our productivity

Our liberties

And our futures.

We are Americans. To imprison us all…

Is inconceivable.

Government Math…FOR KIDS!

from Star Wars-Episode IV-A New Hope

Hello, boys and girls!

Did you know that you and I can create millions, billions and even trillions of numbers just as easily as the Federal Reserve?  All you have to do is use your imagination.  Let’s try it!

I’ll use the number proposed by Obama for his 2011 Federal Budget.  Its numerical value looks something like this:

3,800,000,000,000

Translated into words, that number is pronounced as three trillion eight hundred billion.

That’s a big number, huh?  It only took me three seconds to produce that number.  Let’s put a dollar sign in front of that:

$3,800,000,000,000

Now, let’s take that number and put it in the deposit column of our checkbook ledger and add that in to what we have on account.  For me, that figure would add up to be:

$3,800,000,000,127.14

I’m RICH!

Let’s do the same for the Federal government.  Let’s take that $3,800,000,000,000 that Obama wants for his 2011 Federal budget and put it into the deposit column of what the Federal government has on account.

Wait a minute!  The Federal government has no money on account.  As a matter of fact, they are this many dollars in the hole:

$13,053,274,954,598

O.K., so if the Federal Reserve gives the Federal government $3,800,000,000,000, does that bring the number down to:

$9,253,274,954,600?

Well, it would be if the Federal Reserve actually gave that money to the Federal government.  Unfortunately, that money is only a loan.  So, if we add what the Federal government already owes to the Federal Reserve to what it wants to borrow in the future, that number would be:

-$16,853,274,954,600

Did you catch that minus (-) figure I inserted before the dollar sign, children?  That ((MINUS!!!)) represents what you and your children and your children’s children and their children will be expected to pay back to the Federal Reserve the minute they’re born.

Now, if you’d like to spare your children all that grief and pay off your share of that debt right now, all you need to do is cough up $42,265.41.  But that doesn’t quite get you off the hook because starting next year, you’ll have to come up with about $1500.00 per month to pay for your share of the 2011 Federal budget.

Let’s pretend that this milk cow represents YOU and that this CHAINSAW represents the Federal Reserve.

Now, let’s pull this cord and get this baby warmed up!

Hear that?  That’s the sound of TYRANNY!  Smell that gasoline?  That’s the armpit of the policeman who’s got you in a chokehold for exercising your 1^st amendment right to complain about it!  See those teeth? That’s just a reminder that they can slice you into T-bone steaks any day you decide to stop producing milk.

Oh, now, stop crying!  At least you get something in return for all that money, right?  Well, if your name happens to be Israel then that may be true—they get about a million dollars per day.  If your name isn’t Israel, then all you get are a bunch of wars to die in, ugly buildings you aren’t allowed to enter and a whole lot of alphabet soup agencies that take away things you aren’t willing to give up voluntarily.  Here’s some examples:  The NSA takes away your privacy, the ATF takes away your guns, the IRS takes away your money and the TSA takes away your dignity.  Any questions?

Let’s break that Federal budget down and I’ll show you what I mean.

Wow, looks like I was right!  The biggest chunk of that bill is for war and alphabet soup—I mean—national security.  $721.3 billion goes to the Department of Defense, $2.7 billion is for FBI counter-terrorism, $54.2 billion is for International Affairs, $20.9 is for defense related projects with the Energy Department, Veteran’s affairs gets $66 billion, Homeland Security gets another $54.7 billion, $8.5 billion pays for NASA satellites, $58.4 billion for Veteran’s pensions (a good thing), $7.5 billion for miscellaneous expenses and $228.1 billion goes towards interest on the debt incurred in past wars.  That brings us to a grand total of 1.223 trillion dollars or roughly 1/3 of the entire Federal budget.

Get a pad and paper ready, kids, cause I have a lot more figures to throw your way.

Ready?

33,000,000,000 are the number of dollars the GOP doesn’t want to spend on an unemployment extension.  The GOP wants the unemployment to rise so they can use that number to embarrass the Democrats seeking reelection this November.

58,900,000,000 are the number of dollars the GOP does want to spend on additional war funding in Afghanistan, but only as long as it doesn’t come attached to an additional bill adding new education funding that would avert teacher layoffs.

You see?   It’s all about priorities.  War comes first and you and I come last!

Ready for some more numbers?

600 are the number of dollars spent each second on the drug war.

690,000 are the number of homeless people sleeping in the streets on any given night.

2,800,000 are the number of homes that went into foreclosure in 2009.

2,380,000 are the number of people currently incarcerated inU.S. prisons.

245,000,000,000 are the number of dollars spent to bail outbanks and other financial institutions.

145,000,000,000 are the number of dollars spent to bail out Fannie and Freddie.

80,000,000,000 are the number of dollars spent to bail out the automobile companies.

48,000,000,000 are the number of dollars spent to bail out AIG.

I think Senator Dirkson said it best, “A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you’re talking real money.”

Of course, the government doesn’t want you to be aware of these numbers and will take every opportunity to make the actual numbers appear much smaller.  This is what we call “Government Math.”

Let’s take the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for instance.  The CPI is a list of things that the average American needs—like a gallon of gas, a sirloin steak, etc.  It used to be simple to calculate the CPI.  You simply took the price from the previous year’s list of goods and compared them with the current price.  However, in the late 1980’s, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and friends tweaked the model, adding an assumption known as “Product Substitution”.  In other words, they assumed that people would switch to cheaper goods if the price of any given commodity got too expensive.

They assumed that if the price of steak went up, people would buy hamburger, and the cost of living would go down instead of up.  So instead of using the CPI to measure a standard of living, it was changed to measure what it takes for one to survive.  That way the government could reduce everything from interest payments on the national debt to cost of living adjustments to social security payments.

But that’s not the only thing they changed on the CPI.  Geometric weighting assumes that as prices of goods got too expensive, people would simply stop buying those goods and, as a result, were therefore given less importance in the index. This is what is known as a “Hedonic Adjustment,” which assumes that as the quality of goods improves, the overall price in those goods declines as well.

The government also likes to play with the unemployment numbers.  Right now, the government tells us that the unemployment rate is at 9.3%.  Actually, unemployment is more realistically somewhere in the neighborhood of 22%.  That’s a big difference, huh?

The problem is how unemployment figures are now calculated.  The government low-balls the number by excluding those who fall under the contemporary definition of ‘discouraged worker’ and those who can only find ‘part-time’ work.

Today’s definition of a discouraged worker is one who has not found work within the last year.  Before 1994, a discouraged worker was defined as one who had not found work within the last month.  That’s a big discrepancy isn’t it, children.  If we add those people back into the equation, we come up with a more realistic unemployment rate of right around 22%.

There are other numbers that the government likes to play with as well—like the gross domestic product (GDP), the money supply, the actual value of the dollar, gold….

…am I losing you?

O.K., I’ll tell you what.  Let’s take a break and view this short video that demonstrates how numbers can be manipulated to produce any desired result.

Did you like that, children?  Now you know how the Federal Reserve does it.  All you need is an imagination and a gullible public to believe anything you tell them.  If you have those two things?  The world could be yours!

OOOPS—sorry! I forgot. This world’s already taken.

Plain and Simple.

Homegrown Terrorist or Just Dissent?

Homegrown terrorist threat to be part of National Security Strategy

CNN.com

May 27th, 2010

Washington (CNN) – The Obama administration unveils its National Security Strategy on Thursday and it will be the first time a president explicitly recognizes the threat posed to the country by radicalized individuals at home, the president’s chief counterterrorism adviser said.

The security strategy acts as a blueprint for how a White House administration intends to protect Americans. In the past, it has focused mostly on international threats.

But a spate of terror-related plots in the United States recently prompted the Obama administration to include homegrown terrorism in the document, National Security Adviser John Brennan said Wednesday.

Homegrown terrorism represents a new phase of the terrorist threat, he said.

Their way to neutralize the opposing view.

IRS: You WILL Pay For HealthCare Whether You Like It Or Not

IRS chief: Buy health insurance or lose your tax refund

By Gautham Nagesh

The Daily Caller

4/05/10

Individuals who don’t purchase health insurance may lose their tax refunds according to IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. After acknowledging the recently passed health-care bill limits the agency’s options for enforcing the individual mandate, Shulman told reporters that the most likely way to penalize individuals that don’t comply is by reducing or confiscating their tax refunds.

Speaking at the National Press Club on Monday, Shulman downplayed the IRS’s role in enforcing the recent overhaul of the health insurance industry by claiming the agency would not aggressively target individuals who don’t purchase coverage. He noted that the health-care bill expressly forbids the agency from freezing bank accounts, seizing assets or pursuing criminal charges, but when pressed said the IRS would most likely use tax refund offsets to penalize those that don’t comply with the mandate. The IRS uses refund offsets to collect from individuals that owe the federal government a delinquent debt.

“These are not the kinds of things we send agents out about,” Shulman said. “These are things where you get a letter from us. Congress was very careful to make sure there was nothing too punitive in this bill.”

Many reports have claimed that enforcement of the individual mandate will be non-existent, but Shulman’s answers indicate differently. According to BusinessWeek, starting in 2015 Americans who don’t purchase insurance will be subject to a fine of $325 and that sum increases to $695 in 2016. However, the commissioner seemed confident that in most cases individuals would either receive subsidies to purchase insurance or simply do so on their own in order to comply with the law.

“The vast majority of American people have a healthy respect for the law and want to be compliant with their tax obligations,” Shulman said, mentioning letters, collection notices and offsets as among the various ways the IRS will reach out to people without coverage.

During his speech Shulman said threats against the IRS have not risen despite media reports to the contrary. He disagreed that it has become more dangerous to work for the IRS following the February incident in which a disgruntled pilot flew his plane into the agency’s Austin, Texas office, killing one employee.

“There’s been a lot of stuff in the press around increased threats, which is actually inaccurate,” Shulman said. “What there has been is increased chatter on the Internet that has an anti-government sentiment.”

He also said it is too early to know what additional resources or how many employees the IRS will need to enforce compliance with the mandate and clarified his reasons for using a professional tax preparer.

“I wouldn’t read into anything about me doing it now,” Shulman said. “I’m just a busy guy and have had good service for the past 15 years.”

100,000 Federal Employees Owe The IRS Almost $1BILLION.

Tax Scam Uncle Sam? You Oughta Be Fired! Says Utah Rep. Chaffetz

By DEVIN DWYER

March 18, 2010

WASHINGTON- Working for Uncle Sam comes with some great perks, like job stability, posh benefits packages, and in many cases, average salaries that are higher than what the same job pays in the private sector.

That’s why Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is irked that nearly 100,000 civilian federal employees owe the IRS $962 million in back taxes. He thinks they should pay up or be fired.

Chaffetz has introduced a bill that calls for the federal government to “ferret out” civilian employees who have “seriously delinquent tax debt” and prevent the hiring of other tax delinquents.

More than 3 percent of the 2.8 million federal civilian employees owed the Treasury unpaid federal income taxes in 2008, according to the IRS. If you include retirees and military service members, the numbers go from nearly 100,000 up to 276,000 current or former workers who owe $3 billion in taxes.

“If you get to the point where the government is putting a lien on their property and they’ve exhausted their appeals & the right thing to do is fire them as a federal worker,” said Chaffetz. “If you’re going to take federal tax dollars, you should be paying your federal taxes.”

Currently, only IRS employees can be terminated for non-payment of federal income taxes — a measure Chaffetz wants extended to all federal agencies. The IRS has the lowest level of tax delinquency among its employees than at any other federal agencies, according to the most recent statistics.

But skeptics of Chaffetz’s plan argue firing the delinquents en masse circumvents due process and could only hamper efforts to recoup the cash.

Firing federal employees as soon as a lien is imposed by the IRS would be “prior to any due process hearing,” said Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on the federal workforce.

“We have a system that’s in place. For a federal employee, we have the [IRS] garnish their pay at 15 percent — which is higher than for the regular taxpayer,” he said. “We’re getting the money back.”

Wade Morrow, assistant general counsel for the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employees union, said workers should be held to account for back taxes but that Chaffetz’s rule would not accommodate the complexities of individual cases.

“There may be other facts and circumstances that you should consider,” he said, adding that some individuals may have become delinquent due to sickness or divorce complications or due to a mistake in tax filings. Morrow also said the most serious offenders could face termination under existing guidelines if the tax delinquencies interfere with their jobs.

“Getting them to pay back what they owe is preferable to having them all fired, in which case you’re not going to get anything at all,” said Morrow.

Now, again… Why not start from the top…

All of Obama’s NON-Tax-Paying Cabinet???

That would be a good example to set…

IRS Promoting Snitching

Rat out a tax cheat, collect a reward

By Blake Ellis, staff reporter

March 2, 2010: 4:09 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — If you knew coworkers, former bosses or exes who cheated on their taxes, would you turn them in? The Internal Revenue Service can make it worth your while.

As tax season nears, we all want to get as much money back from the IRS as possible. And while taking advantage of this year’s new tax breaks will put some extra money in your pocket, snitching on a tax cheat could make you rich.

In a recent poll from the IRS Oversight Board, 13% of those surveyed think cheating is acceptable, up from 9% in 2008. As the recession puts the squeeze on household finances, the lure of fudging on a tax return is even greater.

“In a down economy, the temptation to cheat on taxes is much stronger because people are in more desperate situations more often,” said Bill Raabe, a tax expert at Ohio State University’s business school.

More people may be just as desperate to turn in a business, rat out an ex-spouse or report a colleague to collect a reward.

Small-time crooks: The IRS’s informant program has been around for more than 140 years. If you suspect a person is committing tax fraud and report it, you could receive up to 15% of the amount that has been underpaid, with a maximum award of $10 million.

Informants are required to complete a claim, which is available on theIRS Web site, and mail it to the agency or call the IRS tip line at 1-800-XXX-XXXX. While you must reveal your identity to the IRS, your name will not be made public.

Because there is no minimum requirement for the amount in question, anyone can file a report in hopes of making an extra buck off of a cheating boyfriend or obnoxious neighbor.

This is sooooooo DIRTY!!!

Trying to turn us common folk against each other…

How about we start by turning in all the corrupt,

Non-Tax paying Politicians?

That would be a really good start!
