Here are but a few of the many abusive forms of power these Invisible Money Barons have fashioned over the last century - just to satisfy their endless greed for money and control:
- The deregulation and decentralization of far too many human services to the working class by creating competitive units in a no longer affordable open market, which seeks to only benefit the wealthy monopolies that are destined to destroy this once sovereign nation. The services and benefits they are stealing include the following:
Healthcare
Prescription Drugs
Utility and Energy [oil, gasoline and gas]
Environment and Global Warming
Education, Police and Fire Services
Transportation, Highways, Bridges and Dams
Drugs and Narcotics
Border Security and Illegal Immigration
- and on and on
All intentionally designed to drain income and tax dollars directly from our public treasury. And yes, all of these human services can now be found in their open and competitive market.
- The Shrub Dynasty’s ridiculous demand for absolute immunity for all U.S. Military personnel and civilian officials prior to initiating the Iraq war, as well as their promotion of the “Netherlands Invasion Act,” which allows our U.S. Military to rescue any U.S. Personnel brought to trial in “The Hague,” where they would ultimately determine if an illegal and unilateral act of aggression for oil and military bases has taken place. Do we even realize this country may well have violated international law and markedly provoked the entire world over the current costly, unjust, and endless theocratic conflict in the Middle East? Worse yet, “The Hague,” may yet determine that the United States actually bombed Iraq with radioactive material.
- Don’t we realize that “The (unbiased) Hague,” should be the one to rule on this country’s torture and detention tactics at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, involving the labeling of prisoners as “Enemy Combatants” and the transfer of victims to foreign countries for torture, which defies all rules of both international and U.S. law, as well as due process of a fair and just trial - thereby eliminating trials and the writ of habeas corpus petitions under the “Military Commission Act of 2006.” Don’t we realize this divisive law still remains in place in the United States even though it was overruled by our own Supreme Court?
- The violation and abuse of power involving our civil liberties under the Patriot Act; the unchecked secret spying on innocent Americans; the repression of individual dissent and freedom of speech; and the invasion of our privacy involving the wire tapping of Americans.
- The skilful crafting of a budget deficit that has now reached more than 8.2 trillion in less than six years, a deficit that is far greater than this nation has ever seen in its entire history.
- The huge loans from private international banks, China, Japan, and our own Social Security - now estimated between $54 to $75 trillion dollars, [That’s right, we really don’t know the actual amount, for which we pay $409 billion dollars a year in interest. That’s almost two billion dollars a day]
- By financially controlling both the Congress and our administration, these Invisible Money Barons politically hold enormous influence over the world’s most powerful military complex; our Supreme Court and even our Attorney General. And in addition to controlling the International Banking System and the Federal Reserve, they also hold significant political influence over our newly created Intelligence and Homeland Security System; as well as almost all of the world’s news media and propaganda networks. And by controlling the news media and the propaganda networks they’ve successfully maintained a constant level of fear and terror, which causes the average citizen to become submissive and dependent when Americans have nothing to fear but fear itself.
- This Oligarchy’s blatant conflict of interest with normal ethical business standards and their reckless corporate deregulation tactics have been the primary cause for so many corrupt CEO’s, corporations, politicians and lobbyists becoming involved in what has now become known as - The Great Cover-up. (See Chapter 5)
- The un-audited, no-bid, noncompetitive and fraudulent awarding of government contracts that favor only a few select international corporations, and the total lack of audit over billions of working class tax dollars paid in cash to Iraq, which has been aggressively promoted by both the Money Barons and their closely knit Shrub Dynasty who are cooperatively consummating huge loans that make enormous interest profits for the banksters - all essentially destroying this country’s budget. As a result, our country is cutting ends for profit, by not affording adequate military training or equipment and we are now even exposing inadequate care for our veterans injured in this horrible unilateral act of aggression, including the Walter Reed incident, and the many other VA issues.
- The Council on Foreign Relations and the Shrub Dynasty’s “no negotiation policy,” with Jerusalem, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Venezuela, and Cuba has created a stalemate that can only promote continued conflict throughout the world, causing skyrocketing interest earnings on the powerful bankster’s loans that are supporting these conflicts.
- The complete disregard for catastrophic events such as the Katrina tragedy and some $854 million in pledges from other countries. [Of which only $40 million was perhaps accepted - and here, once again, we really don’t know]
- The corrupt Federal Attorney crisis.
- The treasonous and intentional outing of CIA agents.
- The failure to properly investigate documented voter fraud.
- The failure to professionally investigate numerous undisputable facts regarding the destruction of the Twin Towers, building #7 and the Pentagon crime scenes of 9/11.
- The return to a two level tax reduction system, favoring the very wealthy top one-percent.
- The out of control campaign financing, which now occupies more of the politicians time than the work they do for the people they no longer represent. [Some candidates are taking millions of dollars in donations that only obligate them in the future]
- The out of control pork barrel favors and benefits that are extended to only a select inner circle of politicians.
- The complete disregard for President Ford’s executive order banning assassinations by any US government agency. [Formerly known as Murder Incorporated]
- The intentional and persistent diversion and turmoil on women’s rights, stem cell research, and don’t ask don’t tell.
- The complete disregard for the international trade deficit, now reaching more than $830 billion in 2007, and the growing off-shore tax fraud.
- The intentional leveling of this once great nation through the improperly administered North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), and the Free Trade Areas of the Americas (FTAA) etc. - as well as the exporting of jobs from America, and the overall reduction of average salaries across this nation.
All of these many abusive forms of power resulting from the unusually close ties between the Money Barons and our Congress and administration, rather than creating closer ties with the people who place these supposed representatives in office. Perhaps it’s time for these Money Barons to be told they are awakening the very same sleeping giant that previously protected the United State’s freedom and democracy during World War II. Perhaps it’s time for
